MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Black Scorpio
(Ian Hunter / Overend Watts)
Momma's little jewel, just left school.
Fresh from the nuns who made you.
I don't know why, but I'm gonna try to re-incelibate you.
True when I hold you near, and i
Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the noonday sun.
Momma's little jewel you got the rules
But I'll be the one to educate you
Take what's mine, take a little time
But don't bite the hand that makes you
Laugh in the evening when i
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing black scorpio eyes, when i
Come in the morning sun
What you want I can't buy
Why don't you try it my way
What you look for ain't in the book
And I'm gonna show you someday
You won't rise, you won't shine
You won't bleed if you try, boys
You got brains if your luck changes
You'll have to play with my toys
True when I hold you near, and i
Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the noonday sun, and i
Laugh in the evening when i
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing black scorpio faces, when i
Come in the morning sun
Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, momma's little jewel
Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

WILL SMITH lyrics - Scary Story
[Willow:]
Daddy can you tell me a story?
[Will:]
Oh you wanna hear a story? What kind of story you wanna hear baby?
[Willow:]
A scary story
Oh, ok
Once upon a time there was a kid who wanted nothin' more than to rhyme
Almost like he was born in the rhyme
He thought of his rhymes almost all of the time
And he fought with his mom
His school getting caught with his rhyme book
And he knew he shouldn't of took it there in the first place
At least he shouldn't of been sittin lookin there in her face with it
Teacher told him get it out of her class
Wicked witch, trick told him that's probably why you won't pass
Now if you shy you won't last but you're new
So underneath his breath before he left he said I'm a be richer then you
What you say? She said
What you mean? He said
Boy don't you play, she said
What you mean? He said. Damnit
Ten minutes later standin up in the principles office
Getting handed the phone clammed up cause his father was talking
And he was pissed he wasn't listening to his son
You testing me? You messin up again
You done boy
[Chorus:]
This is just a story about a young man comin up in the rap game
A real scary story
Went from rags to riches it has goblins in it haters and witches. Uh
[Chorus]
First thing he did was find somebody to give him some money
He wasn't stupid but wasn't using his senses honey
The guy's he meant was a little shady, a little funny
But they gave him the money so they played the record company
It sounds silly but when he grew up in Philly rhymin wasn't what it is today
Deals wasn't a dime a dozen
Today every sister, uncle, or mom or cousin gotta record deal
But for real it wasn't like that then
As you could imagine when he started risin to fame and fortune he was
Havin Started antagonizing the guy's he was with
At the same time he started realizing
The deal he got from them guys in his eyes didn't fly with size of his hits
He called a meeting to find a solution
He said I'm gettin beat out of my loot
And I'm not recording no more until we find a solution
The dude's said we found a solution its this.44
He ran for the door a little shaken
But the next day he found a lawyer, told him the situation
He said I'm breakin this contract for ya
He said how much the lawyer said I'm a charge you a quarter cause I like you
Just do me a favor
Get your life in order
[Chorus]
MADONNA lyrics - Crazy For You
Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
[Chorus:]
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all
Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see
[chorus]
It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I'm crazy, crazy for you
BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Hey Baby
hey baby you oughta be free
you gotta get out and chase all your dreams
there ain't no point in you waiting for me
hey baby you oughta be free
hey baby it's gonna be fine
you goin' your way and me goin' mine
we'll be together somewhere down the line
hey baby it's gonna be fine
hey baby - you got to give it a try
hey baby - spread out your wings and just fly
hey baby - you know that i'm on your side
hey baby - you better take care
harden your heart cause it's lonely out there
it won't be easy and it won't be fair
hey baby you better take care
hey baby - you got to give it a try
hey baby - spread out your wings and just fly
hey baby - you know that i'm on your side
hey baby you gotta be strong
you've had this feeling inside all along
you can only deny yourself for so long
hey baby you gotta be strong
KATE BUSH lyrics - Deeper Understanding
As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.
I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:
"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."
I press Execute.
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."
Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.
I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.
But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.
I pick up the phone and go, Execute.
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."
I turn to my computer like a friend.
I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.
THE FACES lyrics - Flying
(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)
I'm flying
across the ocean
and I'm soaring
back home
to the place I was born
and probably raised.
And I'm flying
across the mountains and valleys,
back home to the one that I love so happily.
Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'cause I've been away such a very long long time
I served a while in the county jail
five years for being hungry tired and poor
On and on
yes I will follow
with your buttons and bows.

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Black Widow Station
I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting
For your train.
I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting
For your train.
But you've been too long darling and it looks like rain.
I have seen these strange little girls who come up to you
And they don't know when to stop.
I have watched your eye as it follows the line of the leg
Right up to the top.
Now Betty Sue and Mary Jane have come around to play again,
But I am standing at your door and I do believe I'll tell
Them to go home.
There's this black widow spider darling and she's been
Walking on my hand.
There's this black widow spider darling and she's been walking
On my hand.
And we've had this little heart to heart and I think I
Understand.
It's a funny situation, I mean what am I to do?
With Lisa in the upstairs room and Joan and Martha too.
I can't come down to breakfast 'cause the plates have all
Been used.
And it's as crowded as a subway car and I think that you're
Confused.
Now I would wait at your station but I do believe it's time
That I went home.
I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for
Your train.
I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for
Your train.
You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.
You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.
DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Two Steps Behind (Acoustic Version)
Walk away if you want to
it's ok, if you need to
you can run, but you can never hide
From the shadow that's creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
(Whatever you do)
I'll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go)
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Take the time
to think about it
Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it
Take a look around and see what you can find
Like the fire that's burning up inside me,
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
(Whatever you do)
I'll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go)
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
There's a magic running through your soul
but you, you can't have it all
(Whatever you do)
I'll be two steps behind you
(wherever you go)
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Two steps behind
yeah, baby
two steps behind
ohh, sugar
two steps behind
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Up On The Housetop
Up on the housetop reindeer paws, out jumps good ol' Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joy.
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.
First comes the stocking of little Will
Oh, just see what a glorius fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - I Want You
Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling you might fall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
it's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you
He tossed some tattered compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"
I want you
The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I'm going to say it again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Kingdom Of Rain
Tell me what you're thinking baby
You heart's beating faster than mine
And I know something's going on
In your life
Your life
Your life
You were the girl I wanted to cry with
You were the girl I wanted to die with
And you were the boy who turned in to the man
Broke my heart & let go of my hand
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain
You think you know about life
You think you know about love
But when you put your hands inside me
It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched
You were the boy I wanted to cry with
You were the boy I wanted to die with
You've moved further from my side
Year by year
While still making love
Dutifully sincere
But as silent as the car lights
That move across this room
As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon
And I would lie awake & wonder
Is it just me
Or is this the way that love is supposed to be?
Tell me what you told him baby
My heart's beating out of time in my mind
And I know something's going wrong
In our lives
I just wanted somebody to caress, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to undress, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to bless, this damsel in distress.
I just wanted somebody to possess, this young girl
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give
Has all spurted out
There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain...
GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - One Word
(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)
There's a heartache, come over me
Can't be imagination
I worry and I cry for you
Guess I'll have to learn to live with it
A heartache hauntin' me
Feels like electrocution
I'm hurt, you never understood
One word, one word
Who are you, sittin' on your throne
I used to be a slave in your temple
Now you tell me that you're so alone
On the run for your life
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better
Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One word, makes all a difference in the world
One word
One is being born
Two is what you're going for
Three is the price you pay
For what you've been lookin' for
And the word is love, love
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better
Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better
One word, makes all a difference in the world
Make one hell of a difference in the world
One word, one single word
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Maid Of Mesh
[Verse:]
I have seen each and ev'ry queen
In the fashion shows
I've seen them pose
In lovely clothes
But the best is the maiden dressed
In a costume made of mesh
Dressed in her new creation
She'll cause a big sensation
[Refrain:]
Maid of mesh
In a gown all made of mesh
All the boys are wild over you
Maid of mesh
In a plat'num setting
You will soon be getting
All the love and petting too
You'll find that Tommy, Harry, Freddy and Paul
Have tripped and slipped and now they're getting ready
Right from the start
Ev'ry fellow lost his heart
To the pretty little maid of mesh all made of mesh

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Melody For A Memory
(Words & Music by John Oates)
One for the money
One song I'm writing for you
And if you can't take me with you girl
Take this Melody for a Memory
Love in the morning
Love in the late afternoon
There'll be no words when I leave you girl
Just a Melody for a Memory
And if you can't take me with you
Take this Melody for a Memory
She cried when he left her
Her eyes went black with the blue
The infrequent letters
The sooner the better
The cold distant phone calls
Will have to do
And if you can't take me with you
Take this Melody for a Memory
Take part of me, take part of me
Take this Melody for a Memory
TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Burn Rubber
Inside beotch
Yeah you know about that, real players
The real ones
I burn rubber on you quick as hell
You need some toilet paper, don't shit on yourself
When you see me rollin in luxury
I won't fuck witchu, so don't fuck with me
I'm just ridin, sidin, whippin and dippin
I look at all the young hoes trippin
It's no big deal when little hotties get hot
When niggaz get jealous, somebody get shot
You in love? Might make you lose your mind
That's why I run these gray girls, two at a time
With no discretion, to me you're so depressin
Actin like you don't know, my profession
I look at them thighs, and look at them titties
Take your ass straight on out, of Sin City
Wearin all pink just like Hello Kitty
Bringin back all C-notes and no fifties
[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]
Burnin rubber on these bitches, so fast..
Burn rubber as you smash all fast
Tell it like $hort, no ass, no pass
All you Santa Claus players, be on your way
With a bag full of toys on the back of your sleigh
You hit your girls house, one by one
Climb down the chimney, and give 'em all somethin
You trick, don't come around me frontin
Talkin 'bout how you pimpin givin hoes what they wantin
You worse than a studio gangsta
Behind closed doors, gettin his bootyhole spanked up
You suckers disrespect the game
All these video hoes out there spittin your name
You love it when they make that, ass clap
But she don't give me no cash, I'll pass it back
... I kick her where she stash the crack
In the plastic sack, when she crash the 'llac
Punk bitch!
[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]
They tryin to give the rap game to some real punks
It's just like when disco, killed the funk
Can't tell me nothin, when I know I'm right
Like a bowlegged bitch with a overbite, that suck it right
Player this pimp don't lie
How many porn stars you know that went to Crenshaw High?
A lot of fuckin for a whole lot of nuttin
You just wannabe noticed so you're out there sluttin
I never really cared about popular fame
It's all about sittin on top of the game
So don't stop 'til your panties drop
Fuck the mayor, the preacher, and a cop
You better tell him what it cost, get his mind on track
Cause he look like he lost
Bring him back, and dig in his pockets quick
Steal his watch, and make sure he got a drop, beotch
[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]
DIONNE WARWICK lyrics - Alfie
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Backwoods
Someone spilled blood many years ago
someone spilled blood but do you know
that from the backwoods
where the Chuck Berrys grow
come your long tall
daddies of a rock and roll
Take me to your backwoods now
take me to your backwoods now
Spinning' down from the clouds
like a tornado
spinnin' out of control
like a psychedelic soul
with a rhythm hittin' harder
than Larry Holmes
come your long tall
daddies of rock and roll
Take me to your backwoods now
take me to your backwoods now
Mr. Uplift Mofo - my man Bo Diddley
hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple
play the lickity split finger licking licks
for all you wicked city slick chicks
and all you nitty gritty hick
we'll make your nipples ripple
make you wanna dip your dipple
make you wanna soak your hickory stick
because my man has a grip on it
and I do mean on it
which brings to mind
a very sinister minister kind of guy
a man named Little Richard
born to make them bitches stir
that's right he'll make the sweet substance drip
from the middle of your hillbilly lips
and like the farmer milk his cow
the Howling Wolf will howl
and since times does allow
you all can
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Bad Days
You're sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
Or live on Mars
And have it your way
And you hate your boss at your job
Well, in your dreams you can blow his head off
In your dreams
Show no mercy
And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - I Can't Let Go
(Chip Taylor and Al Gorgon)
Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
Feel so bad baby
Oh it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with
You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me baby
You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
I know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone
Makes me want to hold on
You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
VINCE NEIL lyrics - Another Piece Of Meat
(Rudolf Schenker, Herman Rarebell)
[Originally by The Scorpions (1979)]
Met her down at that Tokyo place
Loved her pretty face
I said: "Hey, you're alright, so alright!"
I was sitting in her car
She told me: "You're a star and I know you."
She said: "Take me home."
I need love so strong
Come on and knock me out, oh!
I've been too long alone
I want hot love, you know, and I need it now!"
She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece --
Another piece of meat."
Next day she took me out
To a rough kick boxing show
Violence really turned her on, oh no
She was screaming for more blood
Loved it more than any drug I couldn't stand it
I said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece, another piece of meat"
Said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show
You're just another piece --
Another piece of meat."
KMFDM lyrics - Today
Isolation
When you leave its like I disappear
Desolation
Everytime you go it feels like
Seconds slowly turn to minutes
A month of sundays coming up
Time again pulls me under
Wonder if I'll rise above
It's too much but not enough
Misery loves company
For a little bit of sympathy
It's here today but it's gone tommorrow
It's here today and today will never come again
Desperation
Sinking into somewhere dark and cold
Deviation
A place I knew I did not want to go
To forget is all I know
Minutes slowly turn to hours
Another moment passes by
Seconds of eternity
I wonder if it's time to say goodbye
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Put A Quarter In The Jukebox
Barry:
She said she'd always love me
She said she'd never leave me
Then I wake up this mornin'
She's gone without warnin'
Ronnie:
I know what you've been through, pal
My woman left me too, pal
I'm drinkin' to what it used to be
Here's a toast the drinks to me
Both:
What this joint needs is some music,
someone...
Put a quarter in the jukebox
and we'll both forget about her
make the music louder someone...
Put a quarter in the jukebox
And we'll sing our cares away
Tomorrow is another day
Ronnie:
Another round on me, pal
I feel the same you see, pal
It's hard to face this endless day
I've gotta drink the hurt away
Both:
Hey, this joint needs some more music
someone...
Barry:
It feels just like a dream
We were such a winning team
Oh I'm sure it's true that love is blind
Cause leavin' never crossed my mind
Barry:
What'll I do with the nights now that
she's gone
Ronnie:
What'll I do when the nights go on
and on someone

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Under My Thumb
Under my thumb's the girl
Who once had me down
Under my thumb's the girl
Who once fucked me around
It's down to me
The way she does when she stole the truth out of me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb's
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb's
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears, down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb
It's a siamese
Cat of a girl
Under my thumb
Well, she's the sweetest
Pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she does as wash your soul out of me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept
To herself
Under my thumb
Well, I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me
The way she comes when I tell here to laugh at me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Yeah

RINGO STARR lyrics - Take The Long Way Home
So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show
Take the long way home
take the long way home
'Cause you're the joke
of the neighbourhood
Why should you care
if you're feeling good
Take the long way home,
take the long way home
But there are times that you feel
you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is coming down boy
And then your wife seems to think
you're part of the furniture
Oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
take the long way home
You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home,
take the long way home
And when you're up on stage,
it's so unbelievable
Unforgettable - how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think
you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out
Well does it feel that your life's
become a catastrophe
Oh it has to be for you to grow boy
And when you look through the years
and see what you could have been
Oh what you might have been -
if you'd had more time
So when the day comes
to settle down
Well who's to blame
if you're not around
You took the long way home
Took the long way home...
PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Flume
[Originally by Bon Iver]
I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall,
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore;
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
MADONNA lyrics - Oh What A Circus
[Che:]
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years
[Crowd:]
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
Our life, sweetness, and hope
Hail, hail, oh queen
To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
Oh clement, oh loving one
[Che:]
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
And she's not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since seventeen October 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said it loud
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you
[Crowd:]
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
[Eva:]
Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are, I think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so share my coffin
[Che:]
It's our funeral too

HELLOWEEN lyrics - The King For A 1000 Years
Wouldn't it be nice
To plunder with your eyes
Whatever there's for you to see
Is yours to be
Let me be there
Just tell me you don't care
Just say you pay me afterlife
However high the price
I know your secrets
I know it all
I know your secrets
I see the hidden without light
I am your sickness
Bitting you right behind your eyes
Don't try to kill me
I cannot die, a death you know
You and I will be
Heaven above and hell below
Brother, believe me
Father, conceive me
Perceive me
Time will be a turning wheel
We shove or retard
Time will a toy
Time we will enjoy
Say you want to live forever
Minus one day
Say you will obey and I
I will show - I will show
I will show your Reich of gold
And I will show - I will show
I will show you friend and foe
Wouldn't it be nice
To reign and to decide
Whatever there's attracting you
Will give its due to you
Let me be there
Just say you want to share
A power no one will withstand
Just be my human hand
I know your secrets
You want it all
I will show - I will show
I will show you Reich of gold
And I will show - I will show
I will show you friend and foe
[Solo]
Alienation, elimination, chaos, no exoneration
No believers, all deceivers, no illusion, executions
We are King For A 1000 Years
We are king of a million tears
We're the ones who bring desire
Binding their greed and fears
We are king of fallen men
We are keepers of the damned
Turning hope into obsession
We are the king
We are The King For A 1000 Years
Ages of fire - Aeon of darkness, fear and hate
Wake up my creatures
Stand up you bringers of man's fate
No one can kill us
We cannot die, a death one knows
Mankind is sleeping
My victory near, their end so close
I know their secrets
I know it all
[Solo]
Goodbye sorrows
Borrow me your hand to turn the key
Release me - Believe me
Goddbye sorrows
Never more you have to fear futurity
Goodbye sorrows
Borrow me your hand to turn the key
Conceive me
Time will be a turning wheel
We shove or retard
Time will a toy
Time we will enjoy
Say you want to live forever
Minus one day
Say you will obey and I
I will show - I will show
I will show your Reich of gold
And I will show - I will show
I will show you friend and foe
We are King For A 1000 Years
We are king of a million tears
We're the ones who bring desire
Binding their greed and fears
We are king of fallen men
We are keepers of the damned
Turning hope into obsession
We are the king
We are The King For A 1000 Years
THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - I've Got Asthma
I've got asthma and I can not breath
Can't breath at all!
I've got an inhaler with me
I am choking and my face is blue
Blue and it's getting worse!
I think I will have to lie down... coz
[Chorus:]
I've got ASTHMA yeah I've got ASTHMA
Yeah I've got ASTHMA...
I've got asthma and I am wheezing
Wheezing like mad!
I don't think I will sleep tonight
I think I'll reach for my inhaler
Good idea!
I hope it makes me feel better... coz
[Chorus]
My inhaler needs a refill
What shall I do?
The Chemist is not open yet
Blue face, can't breath and I'm still wheezing
Dear me! dear me!
I just do not know what to do... coz

MIKE OLDFIELD lyrics - I Got Rhythm
(music and lyrics by George Gershwin arranged by Mike Oldfield sung by Wendy Roberts)
I got sunshine,
I got blue sky.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble,
I don't mind him.
You won't find him
Hangin' 'round my door.
I got rhythm,
I got music.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?
I got rhythm,
I got music.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?
I got sunshine,
I got blue sky.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?
I got starlight,
I got sweet dreams.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble,
I don't mind him.
You won't find him
Hangin' 'round my door.
I got rhythm,
I got music.
I got my guy,
Who could ask for anything more?

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - One Promise Too Late
(Dave Loggins/Lisa Silver/Don Schlitz)
I would have waited forever
If I'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But I've met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that I made
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Resist
The sign says do not enter
No trespassing allowed
With visions of redemption
I walk against the crowd
The sun is white with envy
Confusion on the ground
Breathing soft and holy
Temptation's only sound
A demon's day in madness kissed
I swear I never had it like this
Forbidden yet I cannot resist
Shocked in silent trances
Our eyes search just to know
What makes flesh and body hunger
For another burning soul
Conscience quiet pleading
In the corner of my eye
But seeing is believing
All consequences fly
A demon's day in madness kissed
I swear I never had it like this
Forbidden yet I cannot resist
With fever I persist
The rages of your kiss
My reckless heart in fist
And I cannot resist
A demon's day in madness kissed
I swear I never had it like this
Forbidden yet I cannot resist

SANDRA lyrics - Don't Be Aggressive
(Cretu-Hirschburger/Cretu)
You came around here today
And again you were so cold
I could see it in your eyes
When I tried to touch you
I just can't understand
What happened
I just know I love you
There may be a trouble
There may be pain
But there I am
I am longin' for you
Tell me your wishes
Tell me your dreams
I'll do everything for you
But please don't be aggressive
Don't be aggressive
Don't be a fool
Don't be aggressive
Don't be so cruel
Just love me
Don't be aggressive to me
There was a time not long ago
Our love was young
You were totally different
And I felt safe in your arms
Now tell me what made you change
What made your heart turn to stone
I could be your friend
I could be your slave
I could be everything
That you want me to
But baby don't be aggressive
Don't be aggressive
Don't be a fool
Don't be aggressive
Don't be so cruel
Just love me
Don't be aggressive to me
Don't be aggressive
Don't be a fool
Better love me
Don't be aggressive
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Too Many People
(Ransford)
There's a story that I read about in books
About the bad times that people had
That's how he planned it
You can't do nowt about it
Too many people
The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few
The rats came with the graves, that's how we knew
That's how he planned it
You can't do nowt about it
Too many people
This ain't no story
No fairy tale
These things have happened once before
Ask yourself the question
When will it end
There ain't no foolin' death
So you just gotta sit and wait
[Break]
Too many people
Too many people
This ain't no story
No fairy tale
These things have happened once before
Ask yourself the question
When will it end
There ain't no foolin' death
So you just gotta sit and wait
A million people died
In great wars, that we know
They sacrificed their lives
Just goes to show
That's how he planned it
You can't do nowt about it
Too many people (there's too many people)
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people oh yeah
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Maria Dolores
(F. Garcia, J. Morillo)
Dioste ha dado la gracia del cielo Maria Dolores
Yen tus ojos, en vez de miradas hay rayos de sol
Dejame que te cante morena de mis amores
Un Bolero que ensalce tu garboque estan espanol, Ole ole!

Y tienes la garcia del cielo la noche en tu

Par linda graciosa te quiero
En vez de decirte piropos Maria Dolores

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Ev'rybody Loves You
I wonder what you're dreaming while you're sleeping.
I'll never know.
You'll never know.
Now at last the world cannot come peeping
Into the thoughts you call your own.
You close your eyes and you're alone.
You're in a world that' s bright and new
And there is no one in it but you.
Comfy and cozy,
All the world is rosy.
Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep.
Too late to start now
Taking things apart now.
Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep.
You forget
Your alphabet
When you've been counting sheep
Does my dreamer know troubles will keep?
Comfy and cozy
All the world is rosy.
Ev'rybody loves you
When you're asleep.
GREG BROWN lyrics - Help Me Make It Through This Funky Day
Well the coffee boiled and the sun fled
Ah there's grime on the windows, and the streets are dead
It been Tuesday all week and it's Tuesday again
Today is a Parisian, I am an American
And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me
Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day
It look like February 19th and November 8th
They had an ugly little baby and they're gonna call it Today
Ah my face feel like clay every time I try to grin
And I think I might cry if I try to grin again
Oh but I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me
Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day
I don't want to go out because I'm tired of the door
I'm tired of everybody actin like it's wierded out 1954
It's just the year of the barfly. It's just the month of the roach
Hold on to my shoulders, baby, I'm sinkin so low
And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this
Help me make it
Ah will ya baby will ya help me
Oh will ya baby will ya help me make it through this
Ya gotta help me
Help me help me help me make it through this funky day
It's just another, it's just another
It's just another, it's just another
It's just another funky funky funky funky funky day.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Highway 29
I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven
I said "There's no smokin' in the store ma'am."
She crossed her legs and then
We made some small talk that's where it should have stopped
She slipped me her number, I put it in my pocket
My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind
In that little roadhouse
On Highway 29
It was a small town bank it was a mess
Well I had a gun you know the rest
Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood
And she was cryin', her and me we headed south
On Highway 29
In a little desert motel the air was hot and clean
I slept the sleep of the dead, I didn't dream
I woke in the morning, washed my face in the sink
We headed into the Sierra Madres 'cross the border line
The winter sun shot through the black trees
I told myself it was all something in her
But as we drove I knew it was something in me
Something that'd been comin' for a long long time
And something that was here with me now
On Highway 29
The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline
She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream
The wind come silent through the windshield
All I could see was snow, sky and pines
I closed my eyes and I was runnin'
I was runnin' then I was flyin'
KENNY NOLAN lyrics - Love's Grown Deep
I love you, so much
Somewhere back in time
You became a friend of mine
And day by day we've grown a little closer
You're my spirit to be strong
A friend when things go wrong
So I've written down these words to let you know
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me
Let us plant the seed and watch it grow
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me
As we travel down the road
Side-by-side we'll share the load
Hand-in-hand we'll see each other through
Though weve only just begun
Let's count our blessings one-by-one
I thank God for life, I thank God for you
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me
Let us plant the seed and watch it grow
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me
And as the seasons slip away
Forever lovers we will stay
Together, do-or-die, with all our hearts
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me
Let us plant the seed and watch it grow
Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me
You've become a part of me

MADONNA lyrics - Holiday
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate
[Chorus:]
If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice
Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday
[chorus]
You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better
We need a holiday
[chorus]
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate
[chorus]
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday, Celebration
Come together in every nation
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You
I'm gettin' sentimental over you
Things you say and do
Just thrill me through and through
I'm gettin' sentimental over you
I thought I was happy
I could live without love
Now I must admit
Love is all that I'm thinking of
Won't you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I'm sentimental over you
Now I must admit
Love is all that I'm thinking of
Won't you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I'm sentimental over you
DAVID BOWIE lyrics - If I'm Dreaming My Life
Was she never there?
Was she ever?
Was it air she breathed?
At the wrong time
All the flowers so
From the gallery
with the hymns of night
Singing "come to me"
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
All the lights are fading now
If I'm dreaming all my life
Just one living chance
When the mother sighs
When the father steps aside
At the wrong time
Was she never here?
Was she ever?
Was it air she breathed?
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
All the lights are fading now
If I'm dreaming all my life
If I'm dreaming all my life away
Dreaming my life
Dreaming my [x3]
Dreaming my life
Dreaming my life, away (oh ho)
[Repeat]

VAN HALEN lyrics - Love Walks In
Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact. Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Questions deep within your eyes
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Now more than ever, you realize
(Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Silver lights shinin' down
(Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in
(Guitar Solo)
Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Where silence speaks as loud as war
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Earth returns to what it was before
(Ooo-ooo)
And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in
(Guitar Solo)
Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in, yeah!
Huh-uh! Ye-ah, oh-oh oh
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Rolling Down The Hills
(Carly Simon)
People who have bad times
Write hard luck songs
But when their days are green
They think about love
Sunshine, flowers in a garden
Did I bump you sir?
I'm beggin' your pardon
have you seen such a day?
Let's begin it by startin' -
And rollin' down the hills with me.
People who have short hair
Write short hair songs
But when their hair gets long
They think about winding it around in daisy chains
Waitin' for the showers
Just to wash it in the rain
Have you seen such hair?
Well let the wind play -
As you're rollin' down the hills with me
People who have no hills
Write songs about plains
But if that's not what you want to do
Well you can jump aboard a bus
Or boat or wooden canoe
I know just the mountain
That's been waitin' for you
Too write songs about the peaks
And the beautiful views -
As you're rollin' down the hills with me.
SPARKS lyrics - Dance Godammit
(Ron & Russell Mael)
It's the sound
Of today
Played so loud
You're in pain
I feel good
Really great
As I talk
To my feet
Dance Godammit
Dance Godammit
I get scared
When I'm alone
So I don't
Stay alone
I like clubs
I like girls
I like music
And that's it
Dance Godammit
Dance Godammit
I do leaps
I do splits
I do spins
I do dips
Wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
I get scared
When I'm alone
Ah, don't leave me
All alone
Wanna dance
Wanna dance
Wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Dance Godammit
Dance Godammit
LOBO lyrics - All For The Love Of A Girl
(Johnny Horton)
Well today I'm so weary
Today I'm so blue
Sad and broken hearted
And it's all because of you
Life was a sweet girl
Live was a song
But now you've gone and left me
Tell me where did I go wrong
And it's all for the love
Of a dear little girl
All for the love
That sets my life in a whirl
I'm a man who'd give his life
And the joys of this world
All for the love of a girl

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - So Right, So Wrong
(Paul Carrack, Nick Lowe, Martin Belmont, J E Ceiling, J Eller)
I was walking down the street
With a lot of not much to do
Wondering only if it was gonna rain
When this guy came into view
For a moment I looked crazy
And at first I couldn't work out why
Then something made me turn back the hands of time
To a careless past goodbye
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
So tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
When he walked up
Me I stood there
With this picture in my mind
It was a flash like an old photograph
I keep with me all the time
Fished for silver in my pocket
Then I ran for the telephone
I dialed the number of all the reasons
Why you should button up and come on home
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
We're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
So right
So wrong
We're so tough
And so strong
MARIAH CAREY lyrics - After Tonight
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's iike I'm lifted out of time
And time again
Patientiy I've waited
For this moment to arrive
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade
I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all l'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of time
Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled-me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
Time
And time and time again
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins to fade
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Secret Love
(P. Francis Webster, S. Fain)
[Recorded Januaru 28, 1964, Los Angeles]
Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me,
All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free.
So I asked a friendly star the way that lovers often do
Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you.
Now I shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodils,
And now my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret any more.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Hung Upside Down
Look what's happening to me,
I'm going blind, please help.
There I sat until three,
Gettin' further behind myself.
Bymyself.
And I'm hung upside down. [2x]
Hung upside down, said I'm
Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.
Hung upside down.
Someday I will be free,
And there'll be times, you just wait.
I will come to you, see,
What I'll bring you when I get straight,
Oh it's too late.
And I'm hung upside down. [2x]
Hung upside down, said I'm
Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.
Hung upside down.
A-HA lyrics - Scoundrel Days
Was that somebody screaming...
It wasn't me for sure
I lift my head up from uneasy
pillows
Put my feet on the floor
Cut my wrist on a bad thought
And head for the door
Outside on the pavement
The dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Leaking into my mouth
I'm heading out for the steep hills
They're leaving me no choice
And see...as our lives are in the making
We believe through the lies and the hating
That love goes free
For want of an option
I run the wind 'round
I dream pictures of houses burning
Never knowing nothing else to do
With death comes the morning
Unannounced and new
Was it too much to ask for
To pull a little weight...
They forgive anything but greatness
These are scoundrel days
And I'm close to calling out their names
As pride hits my face
See...as our lives are in the making
We believe through their lies and the hating
That love goes free through
scoundrel days
I reach the edge of town
I've got blood in my hair
Their hands touch my body
From everywhere
But I know that I've made it
As I run into the air
And see...as our lives are in the making
We believe through the lies and the hating
That love goes free
Through scoundrel days
SLASH'S SNAKEPIT lyrics - Speed Parade
They come and they go when they want me
I sit and I wait my turn
I want to let go but I can't see
All I know is from what I've learned
Hitchhiker born to the side of the road
Got your thumb out, climb in
Shut your mouth, and do what you're told
This is where the ride begins
Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
Here lies a rude instigator or so he says
Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'
Or does he lie there and just play dead?
Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead
Gotta get on the road or get on your knees
See the boy play, he plays for speed
Faster boy, put your foot on the floor
Salivating, he just wants more
Here come the calm with the bold insane
I can feel it like a ball and chain
When the question stands, does the shit remain?
It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
KISS lyrics - Sure Know Something
I've been up and down, I've been all around
I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night I still hear you call my name
I've been on my own, I've been all alone
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
But late at night I still want you just the same
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
I was seventeen, you were just a dream
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same, yeah
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can tell me till I hear it from you
And I sure know something, sure know something
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
Sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Ready To Begin Again
When my teeth are rinsed in a glass by my bed,
and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,
you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,
not a very nice place anymore.
But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair
and a strange thing occurs when I do,
my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
and my hair like my very own too.
And I'm ready to begin again.
Ready to begin again.
Reachin' for the soap,
my heart is full o' hope
again, again.
Ready to begin again!
Looking fresh and bright I trust.
Ready to begin again,
as everybody must.
SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Love Hurts
Love hurts, Love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know, But even so
I know a thing or two, and I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts......Ooh, ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts......
Ooh, ooh love hurts, Ooh, ooh love hurts
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue
Love hurts......
Ooh, ooh love hurts, Ooh, ooh love hurts
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
(Harris)
Here they stand brothers them all
All the sons divided they'd fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one.
Here the birth from the unbroken line
Born the healer the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds
[Chorus:]
Seventh son of a seventh son [4x]
Then they watch the progress he makes
The Good and the evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before it's too late
[Chorus]
Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the sechond sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done

STYX lyrics - Southern Woman
(James Young, Raymond Brandle)
first met you in a southern town
on a warm November day
you made me smoke like a whirlwind
I knew we had nothing to say
love me but don't try and make me stay
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
[guitar solo]
once again in the early spring
I touched your raven's crown
your wild eyed stories of rare delight
like to knock me down
it's getting so damn hard to put you down
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
[instrumental solos]
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
southern woman
take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife
southern woman
yeah
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Gomper
(Jagger, Richards)
By the lake with lilly flowers
Wallow away the evening hours
To and fro she's gently gliding
On the glassy lake she's riding
She swims to the side
The sun sees her dried
The birds hover high
I'd stifle a cry
The birds hover high
She moans with a sigh

MADONNA lyrics - Something To Remember
Seems I've played the game for much too long
I let people buy my love and I
Never got to sing my songs for you.
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love you pay your dues.
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
What a joke.
[Chorus:]
I was not your woman, I was not your friend,
But you gave me something to remember.
No other man said love yourself
Nobody else can.
We weren't meant to be,
At least not in this lifetime,
But you gave me something to remember.
I hear you still say, "Love yourself".
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love I've paid my dues.
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
What a shame, who's to blame?
[chorus]
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Santa, Santa
Dear Mr. Claus
My name is Juan
You are well liked
Where I come from
I know how busy you must be
But Santa please remember me
Santa, Santa
Remember the time of year
December is almost here
I live by Cathedral Square
My brothers live also there
They do not believe in you
But please bring them something to
Santa, Santa
Remember the time of year
December is almost here
It's getting late
And I must go
But I would like for you to know
I know you're real
And I believe that you'll be here
On Christmas Eve
Santa, Santa
Remember the time of year
December is almost here
Santa, Santa
Christmas is almost here
Santa, Santa
Remember the time of year
I'll leave a light
We have no fireplace
Santa
FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Why
(Christine McVie)
There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You make me feel, I just can't carry on
But I know I won't always be that way
'Cos my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You don't have to give up
Why is it all wrong
Why don't you love me
Why won't you just be strong

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - My Tennessee Mountain Home
(Dolly Parton)
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
[Chorus:]
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
[Chorus]
Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
[Chorus]
NAZARETH lyrics - Waiting
Waitin' - got a leash around my neck
Trainin' - I'll never be your pet
Dyin', sighin'
You got me flyin', cryin'
I've been waitin' - standing by your side
Prayin' - tryin' to turn the tide
Spinnin', grinnin'
You got me flyin' high
Waitin' - I've been tryin' to state my case
Racin' - Tryin' to keep it in the chase
Slippin', slidin'
I'm gonna be seekin', findin'
You're strokin', I'm smokin'
Your're playin' and I'm layin' a plan
I'm getting' all the lovin'
I'm getting' all the lovin' I can
You're leadin' me astray
I'm pleadin' - I'm leadin'
You're feedin' - I'm beggin'
Waitin' - seems like all my life
Skatin' - livin' on thin ice
Dreamin', schemin'
You're gonna do me in
Waitin' - When are you gonna come back?
Strung out - You got me on the rack
Duckin', divin'
I'm gonna be midnight drivin'
You're takin', I'm breakin'
I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad
I'm reelin' all the feelin'
I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can
I've got to make you stay
You're leavin' - I'm grievin'
You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'
You're prayin' and I'm layin' a plan
I'm gettin' all the lovin'
I'm gettin' all the lovin' I can
You're leadin' me astray
I'm pleadin', I'm needin'
You're feedin', I'm beggin'
I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad
I'm reelin' all the feelin'
I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can
I've got to make you stay
You're leavin' - I'm grievin'
You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Lord Done Fixed Up My Soul
[Verse:]
I had a mammy for a nurse
When she could not be feeling worse
She'd take her troubles into church
And while the bells were ringing
She'd come out singing
[Refrain:]
The Lord done fixed up my eyes
I see Heaven way up there in the skies
Bless the Lord for fixin' my eyes
The Lord done fixed up my ears
I hear music like I ain't heard in years
Bless the Lord for fixin' my ears
The Lord done fixed up my heart
I got courage now
Ain't afraid somehow
The Lord done fixed up my soul
It was broken and the Lord made it whole
Bless the Lord for makin' my soul whole
Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord
[Patter:]
Down to the river, we'll go down to the river
And we'll wash our sins away
Down to the river and we'll ask the Forgiver
For his praise on Judgment Day
And we'll bless our Lord and say

AC/DC lyrics - Jailbreak
(Young - Young - Scott)
There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't living alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home"
Gonna make a jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
Oh, how I wish that I could fly
All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free
Jailbreak, let me out of here
Jailbreak, sixteen years ah
Jailbreak, had more than I can take
Jailbreak, yeah
He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
And people started to scream
Big man lying on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been
But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free
Jailbreak, jailbreak
I got to break out
Out of here
Heartbeats, they were racin'
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing
But he made it out
With a bullet in his back
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak

BADFINGER lyrics - It Had To Be
Had to be, don't look back, you're older
Take it from me
The love you have is stronger
And in your eyes I see myself
I want from you what you want of me
And you know
The love you have is stronger
It had to be, don't look back, you're older
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
And in your eyes I see myself
I want from you what you want of me
And you know.

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Make The Man Love Me
(D. Fields & A. Schwartz)
I must try to make the man love me
Make the man love me now
By and by I will make the man happy
I know how
He must see how badly I want him
Want him just as he is
And may I say that sure the man ask me
I'll be his
Can I tell the man
Just how dearly blessed we would be
AII the beauty I see so clearly
Oh, why can't he?
So I pray to heaven above me
Pray until day grows dim
For I'll wait to make the man love me
As I love him
For I'll wait to make the make love me
As I love him...

THE CURE lyrics - High
When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might
I can't get that high
The how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
When I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go
And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I say I'll keep on holding you
My arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away
And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah as smitten as that
I can't get that small
Tthe way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make-believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave
And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I know I'll keep on holding you
In arms so tight
They'll never let you go
DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Last Dance

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Heavy On Your Love
I'm gettin' heavy on your love
Every night
Gettin' ready for your love
With all of my might
I was crazy for your love
Never stayed around you love
Aw but you make me deadly
I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love.
Heavy on your love,
Old enough to wait
Got a letter full of love
And it's just about to break
Cause my love was never real
I could touch but never feel
Ah, but you make me deadly
I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love
