KISS lyrics - Odyssey

From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me

we are on an odyssey

Through the realms of time and space

In that enchanted place

You and I come face to face



Once upon not yet, long ago someday

Countless times we've met, met along the way



Through the luminescent night

On beams of neon light

You and I in wing-ged flight

As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see

Now and then, the victory



Chorus



There's a child in a sundress

Looking at a rainy sky

There's a place in the desert

Where an ocean once danced by

There's a song in the silence

Weaving in and out of time

We are notes in the music

Searching for remembered rhyme



On a mountain high somewhere

Where only heroes dare

Stand the stallion and the mare

We have been and we shall be each other's destiny

One another's odyssey



Chorus



We've met along the way....

We've met along the way

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Real World

Step into the steal world

Can you really dance

Really take a chance

Can you really dance

Stand into the real world



Walk into the real world

Step into the steal world

Will you take a chance

Can you really, Can you really, Can you really dance

Can you really, Can you really dance



Real world

Step into the real world



Can you really dance

Really take a chance

Can you really dance



Walk into the real world

Step into the steal world

AMII STEWART lyrics - Knock On Wood

(Eddie Floyd and Steve Croppe)



I don't want to lose you

This good thing

That I got

'Cause if I do

I will surely,

surely lose a lot

'Cause your love is better

Than any love I know

It's like thunder and lightning

The way you love me is frightening

You better knock, knock on wood, baby



I'm not superstitious about ya

But I can't take no chance

You got me spinnin', baby

You know I'm in a trance

'Cause your love is better

Than any love I know

It's like thunder, lightning

The way you love me is frightenin'

You better knock, knock, knock on wood, baby



Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock



It's no secret about it

'Cause with his lovin' touch

He sees to it

That I get enough

With his touch all over

You know it means so much

It's like thunder and lightnin'

The way you love me is frightenin'

You better knock, knock on wood, baby



Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Down By The Dam

Ambush on her body, down by the dam

She wasn't afraid of anybody until, down by the dam

Criminal running from the law,

Hiding in the high grass

The lady saw death from a mescaline high

High in the high grass

And the police ain't never around

When you need them,

But the criminal's ready to pounce

If you get near him



Vigilante fires, the flames are gettin' higher

Down by the dam

Temper's gettin' hot oh there's blood for the pot,

Down by the dam

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Do You Wanna Be Like Dougy Bell?

Ran over by a bus up the high street

Dougy only feels a tickle in his feet

The driver shouts Oi! are you alright

But Dougy's on his way

Dougy then has a little mishap

When a geezer comes along and gives him a slap,

Dougy said it's wise that you apologize

Or else you'll face D D D Dougy



[Chorus:]

Beware, beware, beware, beware,

Never never mess with Dougy Bell

Beware beware beware beware

Never never mess with him

D you, d you, d you, do you wanna be like Dougy

Or d you, d you, d you, d you wanna be like me

I wanna wanna wanna be like Dougy.



Dougy's getting sick of burglaries

He's changed all the locks

And he's bought new keys

He's gonna get the robber no matter what it takes

He's gonna die

Dougy sits waiting with a hammer on his bed

Some dirty rougues gonna get a sore head

Fifteen vilains or maybe even more

Ran when they saw D D D Dougy



[Chorus]



Oh Dougy's in the backroom playing pool,

He's lost five quid but he keeps his cool,

Dougy is a winner, he'll not be beat,

So the game goes on.

Dougy!

Half an hour later when the poolroom's in a wreck

The opposition tries to stick something down his neck,

He began the cry cause he was gonna die

Cause he fooled whith da da da da dougy.



[Chorus]

ROXETTE lyrics - Run To You

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying

Driving while I'm closing my eyes

Moving in and out of hiding

Trying to catch some truth in my life

Watching your stars and your moonlight

Come tumbling down from the skyTake it now.



I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

I wanna find you

In everything that I do

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow

Baby, what else can I do?



Sunday morning, my town is sleeping

Lying all alone in my bed

There's not a sound, I can't help but listening

Wishing I was somewhere else instead

But sometimes they're too hard to handle

These voices inside my head

Listen now.



I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

I wanna find you

In everything that I do

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow

Baby, what else can I do?



Take a walk inside my dream: A church, a lonely road

All the people come and go and come and go.



Do it now!

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Peace Of Mind

I go anywhere that ol' wind blows

Down a blactop road...anytime

No strings attached, no ties to tie me down

So why hang around, when I can fly



[Chorus:]

I'm free, free to do as I please

Free to choose, free to be

Just plain me, just plain fine

I'm here then I'm there

Not a care in the world

What a cure for the soul...peace of mind



I go anywhere that ol' wind blows

Down a blacktop road...anytime

No strings attached, no ties to tie me down

So why hang around, when I can fly



I don't dare slow down for anything

What tomorrow brings suits me fine

And I don't dare look back on yesterday

It's a throw away better left behind



[Chorus]



I go anywhere that ol' wind blows

Down a blacktop road...anytime

No strings attached, no ties to tie me down

So why hang around, when I can fly



So why hang around, when I can fly

CARPENTERS lyrics - Maybe It's You

Maybe it's you, maybe it's me

Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea

Maybe it's just that I've never been the kind

Who can pass a lucky penny by



Maybe it's wise, maybe it's not

Maybe it's you who brought me caring I forgot

Isn't it nice to talk about the special way

That you smile whenever I'm around



Rising on the shore the ocean came

Walks along the waves of velveteen

His only thought was love for me



Couldn't we stay, or must you go

Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw

Only a fool would want to leave the paradise

That I find whenever you're around

Only a fool

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Too Much On My Mind

There's too much on my mind,

There's too much on my mind,

And I can't sleep at night thinking about it.

I'm thinking all the time,

There's too much on my mind,

It seems there's more to life than just to live it.



There's too much on my mind,

And there is nothing I can say.

There's too much on my mind,

And there is nothing I can do

About it,

About it.



My thought just weigh me down,

And drag me to the ground,

And shake my head till there's no more life in me.

It's ruining my brain,

I'll never be the same,

My poor demented mind is slowly going.



There's too much on my mind,

And there is nothing I can say.

There's too much on my mind,

And there is nothing I can do

About it,

About it.



There's too much on my mind.

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Another Man's Woman

If there's no way of knowing where's the answer,

You should know if you need me by now, tell me how.

You saw me in the first place,

Who d'you think I am

How can you be so two-faced

And tell me where I stand

Yeah, we've been here once before,

I see you by the door,

You said you knew and all were calling,

Yeah, you know you just can't lose,

All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is.



You ain't nothing but another man's woman,

Living on another man's land;

At night I hear a hound dog callin,

A callin' me a cheatin' man.

I tell you somethin', I need good lovin', but you don't understand,

At night I see you cannonball comin'

To blow me to the promised land.



If there's no-way of showing where your love lies,

Is it me?, is it him?, or no-one;

What will be done?

About the mess you made me,

Oh don't you give a damn,

You're gonna drive me crazy,

It's more than I can stand,

'Round and 'round we always go

First it's yes and then it's no,

Oh whatever keeps me sane?

I'm so helpless, can't you see?

Did you cast a spell on me,

Say you love me please, I'm praying

CHORUS

ALANNAH MYLES lyrics - Rockinghorse

I wonder what would happen if I fell

Would you pick me up and be my wishing well

If I shared my secrets would you promise not to tell

I wonder what would happen if I fell



I wonder what would happen if I smiled

Would you be the mystery in my eyes

I'll consent to marry you if you never lie

And I wonder what would happen if I smiled



Looking for a sign in the eyes of love

Waiting for an answer from the stars above

Would you be my story when there's nothing left to tell

I wonder what would happen if I fell



Would you be the rockinghorse I ride

If I showed no fear and held you like a child

Running through the darkness till there's morning in the sky

Would you be the rockinghorse I ride



Then I ride, ride, you can be my rockinghorse, so giddy-up

I said ride ride, ride ride, I said ride ride

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Glad I Waited Just For You

(Royce Porter/Bucky Jones)



Use to be (Use to be)

Love was mean to me

Every love I tried my heart cried that won't do

Now you see (Now you see)

Love's been good to me I guess my love was waiting just for you

You and me (You and me) (You and me)

Go so well as we

Fit right to a T

Can't you see we do



Gotta say (Gotta say) (Gotta say)

Your love's got a way

Of making me glad

I waited just for you

I should have known

That my heart could not be wrong



Gotta say (Gotta say) (Gotta say)

Your love's got a way

Of making me glad

I waited just for you

I should have known

That my heart could not be wrong



Gotta say (Gotta say) (Gotta say)

Your love's got a way

Of making me glad

I waited just for you

I should have known

That my heart could not be wrong



Gotta say (Gotta say) (Gotta say)

Your love's got a way

Of making me glad

I waited just for you

I should have known

That my heart could not be wrong

LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Summer Wind

[From "For The Love Of The Game"]



The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea

It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me

All summer long, we sang a song and we strolled on golden sand

Two sweethearts, and the summer wind



Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flyin' by

The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky

Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you

I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind



The autumn wind, and the winter wind they have come and gone

Still the days, those lonely days that go on and on

Guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end

My fickle friend, summer wind, summer wind

Oh, summer wind, summer wind

GARY MOORE lyrics - Drowning In Tears

(Gary Moore)



The woman I love doesn't want me.

I'm having to face my worst fears.

She's promised her heart to another.

Feel like I'm drowning in tears.



She is the one I have lived for.

I've waited for so many years.

Now she is leaving me lonely.

Feel like I'm drowning in tears.



I was the one who waited endlessly,

Sending you kisses from the stars.

I was the one who fought relentlessly,

Wishing you hadn't gone so far.



The woman I love doesn't want me.

I'm having to face my worst fears.

She's promised her heart to another.

Feel like I'm drowning in tears.



Feel like I'm drowning in tears.

THE KINKS lyrics - Bright Lights

Time's running out just as fast as it can

She's leaving me cold

I don't understand

Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor

Gotta kill this pain 'cause I can't take no more



Bright Lights on a cold night

If it feels good then it's alright



Thinking about when we first met

All these memories kill me

Get them out of my head

The flashing lights of the cities roar

Make my mind a blurr

Who's knocking on the door

Nothing's for keeps

Can't get no sleep

My future is late

Guess I'll find it next week



Bright Lights on a cold night

If it feels good then it's alright

She's caught up in the spotlight



See her up there in a New York fashion show

See the freedom in her eyes

Could've chose a better time

For it all to go wrong



Another night and my life is my own

But it scares me half to death

Out in the bars in the village with friends

You can buy me a drink

But please don't mention her name



Bright Lights on a cold night

She's up there in the spotlight

Now it's over and it's goodnight



Bright Lights [3x]



See her up there in a New York fashion show

See the freedom in her eyes

Could've chose a better time

For it all to go wrong



Bright Lights on a cold night

If it feels good then it's alright



Bright Lights [2x]

ROD STEWART lyrics - Standing In The Shadows Of Love

(Eddie Holland / Lamont Dozier / Brian Holland)



Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm just waitin' for the heartaches to come



I want to run but there's no place to go

'cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love the love I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living

When you pushed aside all the love I been giving



Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

Don't you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come



All alone I'm destined to be

with misery my only company

Might come today, might come tomorrow

but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don't your conscience kind of bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I done for you

Now hold on a minute



Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

So don't you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come



I want to run but there's no place to go

'cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love the love that I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry

after all the things I done for you



Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I

Didn't I do right by you didn't I

Didn't I screw you right now



Kept you in luxury didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you didn't I

Didn't I treat you right now didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I



I'm trying hard not to cry

You know my crying ain't gonna help me now

Without your love the love that I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

So don't you leave me



Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

ZUCCHERO lyrics - A Volte Nevica A Giugno

Oggi e venerdi, tu sei qui

Come mai a mezzogiorno?

E sei bella si sei piu bella si,

che ti vedo quando e giorno

come vedi ieh ieh ieh ieh vorrei...

ma a volte nevica a giugno

non c'e pace nel mio cuore,

tutti i piatti da lavare,

sono stanco di vederti

solamente per scopare,

non sei mia, non sei sua, dimmi di chi sei?

Anche la mia Fender per saperlo venderei!

Oggi e venerdi e tu sei qui

Cosi chiara come un sogno

Come vedi ieh ieh ieh ieh vorrei...

Ma a volte nevica a giugno

Ma guarda che casino c'e sempre in casa mia

Come lei anch'io avrei bisogno di pulizia,

una vita regolare,

stare qualche volta bene,

possederti veramente

e non quando ti conviene...

oggi e venerdi e tu sei qui

non e notte adesso e giorno

come vedi ieh ieh ieh ieh vorrei...

ma a volte nevica a giugno

non ci credi (lo so) ieh ieh ieh ieh,

perche ridi (non lo so)

come vedi ieh ieh ieh ieh potrei...

ma a volte nevica a giugno

CHICAGO lyrics - Where Were You

Where were you?

When I was following someone

I should have been fallin' in love with you



I was doing all right in my own little world

Suddenly you were there

Upside down, turned around

Wasn't looking for anything new



I've got the heart and the hand of a sweet little girl

I just have to be fair

But my heart it can't hide

What it's feeling inside

When it's true



[Chorus:]

Where were you?

When I was following someone,

I should have been falling in love with you

And now, it's too late!

'Cause my heart is true

I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me

And dreaming of you

Are we stronger than fate?



I ain't askin' you to save me

I'm a weaver of my own web

I don't know what to do,

But just try to get on with my life



Where were you?

When I was following someone,

I should have been falling in love with you

And now, it's too late!



'Cause my heart is true

I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me

And dreaming of you

Are we stronger than fate?



Are we two lovers

Who found each other

Just a moment too late

Are we stronger than fate?

We'll never know!



[Chorus]

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Sleeping With The Telephone

I knew who he was

When I took his name

But some how no one

Is just not the same at night

He knows the danger

But he does what he does

He calls it duty

But I call it love

So here I am

While he's gone

To some foreign land



And I cry

Because I'm alone

And the nights get so cold and long

And I try not to think he won't come home

But I'm sleeping with the telephone



The yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate

Always reminds me that someone's awake

Just like me

I hear the sirens

And I watch the news

He laughs and leaves with his gun

And his blue uniform

And I pray God keeps him safe from harm



And I cry

Because I'm alone

And the nights get so cold and long

And I try not to think he won't come home

But I'm sleeping with the telephone



I loose him in my darkest dreams

And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat

So I get up; I can't take anymore

Sometimes I hate how much I love him

But everyday I love him more



And I try not to think he won't come home

But I'm sleeping with the telephone



Something wakes me from where he should be

I reach for him; the telephone rings

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Rose Of Sharon

(Eliza Gilkyson)



There's a beautiful Rose ever blooming

In the garden of God's love for me;

It has filled all the world with its fragrance,

It will last for eter-ernity.



Rose of Sharon now blooming I see,

Blessed Jesus who died on the tree;

With my whole heart I sing "Hallelujah!"

Rose of Sharon so precious to me.



Precious Savior I'll always adore Thee,

For with Thee no one else can compare;

By thy love so divine I'm enraptured,

Thou art fairer than all of the fair.



Rose of Sharon now blooming I see,

Blessed Jesus who died on the tree;

With my whole heart I sing "Hallelujah!"

Rose of Sharon so precious to me.



Are you lost in your sins-- tired of living,

Is your heart filled with bitterness too?

Come to Jesus the sweet Rose of Sharon,

He has power to make you anew.



Rose of Sharon now blooming I see,

Blessed Jesus who died on the tree;

With my whole heart I sing "Hallelujah!"

Rose of Sharon so precious to me.

RUSTY DRAPER lyrics - Freight Train

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Won't you tell me where he's gone



Don't know where he's headin for

What he's done against the law

Got no future, got no hope

Just nothin but the rope



Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Won't you tell me where he's gone



He lost his reason, lost his life

He killed his friend in mortal strife

He must have moved like the golden skies

Just a-waitin til he dies



Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Won't you tell me where he's gone



When he dies, just bury him please

Way down the end of old Chestnut Street

Poplars at his head and feet

And tell them he's gone to sleep



Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Won't you tell me where he's gone

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Funny You Should Ask

Well it's funny you should ask me how I feel

As the scenes before my eyes begin to reel

I can't remember how long I cried

I can't remember how hard I tried

Turned my thoughts away from you

Like I had something else to do

And now I find you here



And it's funny you should want to see me now

Well I'd refuse you but I can't remember how

I can't remember how long I cried

I can't remember how hard I tried

I'd tell myself I didn't care

That I was down and you weren't there

You've been away so long



And it's funny you should want to know my plans

As the future disappears beneath my hands

I can't remember how long I cried

I can't remember how hard I tried

Now I'll cast aside my memories

And shut you out most bitterly

I'm down on my last smile

NEW ORDER lyrics - Confusion

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you mean to me

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you cannot see



You're hiding from feelings, searching for more

Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long

Our lives still change from the way that we were

And now I'll tell you something I think you should know

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you mean to me

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you cannot see



You cause me confusion, you told me you cared

He's calling these changes that last to the end

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies

The past is your present, the future is mine

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you mean to me

You just can't believe me

When I show you what you cannot see



You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time

The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives

I was sure that I told you it was good from the face

You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place



Why can't you see what you mean to me?

JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Super Hero

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

yeah

You were smiling by my table

Had to call up everyone that day

A beautiful mind and body

What a happy ending I see



My mind had been enabled

In a memory you overflowed

Want to be your superhero

Even if I tumble fall



I'm ok

You have that effect on me

But I need you desperately

You know I need you desperately



Brick or stone cannot hurt me

Madmen around the city go

They attack I'll bring them down

Making their chances super low



Oh my my, pretty naval

Dimple cheek, a face I adore

Want to be your superhero

Fallin' from a running horse



I'm ok

You have that effect on me

But I need you desperately

You know I need you desperately



I oh, I

Hold to that elusion

I, oh I

I'm not your average guy



Other guys they won't dare to

Join the line in order you peck

When they introduced me to you

My face had turned to super red

Your steady beck and call boy

Play'n on the piano

Want to be your superhero

Not afraid to tumble fall



I'm ok

You have that effect on me

But I need you desperately

You know I need you desperately



Want to be your superhero

Yeah I want to be your superhero

I want to be your superhero

Oh I want to be your superhero

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS lyrics - Creeque Alley

(John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam)



John and Mitchie were gettin' kind of itchy

Just to leave the folk music behind;

Zal and Denny workin' for a penny

Tryin' to get a fish on the line.

In a coffee house Sebastian sat,

And after every number they'd pass the hat.

McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L. A.,

You know where that's at.

And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass. Zallie said, "Denny, you know there aren't many

Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."

Denny said, Zallie, golly, don't you think that I wish

I could play guitar like you."

Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)

And after every number they'd pass the hat.

McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L. A.,

You know where that's at.

And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.



When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore

But she changed her mind one day.

Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,

"Take me to New York right away."

When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;

Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.

McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher

But that's what they were aimin' at.

And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.



Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps -

Don't you work as hard as you play.

Make up, break up, everything is shake up;

Guess it had to be that way.

Sebastian and Zal formed the 'Spoonful;

Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.

McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L. A.,

You know where that's at.

And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.



Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,

And Mitchie wants to go to the sea.

Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it -

We knew she'd come eventually.

Greasin' on American Express cards;

Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.

Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations

Can't go on indefinitely.

And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Survive

Got Oh my, naked eyes

I should have kept you

I should have tried

I should have been a wiser kind of guy

I miss you



Give me wings

Give me space

Give me money for a change of face

These noisy rooms and passion pants

I loved you



Where's the morning in my life?

Where's the sense in staying right?

Who said time is on my side?

I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life

But I survive your naked eyes

I'll survive



You alone across the floor

You and me and nothing more

You're the great mistake I never made

I never lied to you, I hated when you lied

But I'll survive your naked eyes

I'll survive



Beatle boys, all snowy white

Razzle dazzle clubs every night

Wish I'd sent a Valentine

I love you



I'll survive

Naked eyes

I'll survive

I'll survive

My naked eyes

I'll survive

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - I Didn't Know What To Do

I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go

'Cause when I looked at you

I saw that it was snow on the ground

And not me pretending that I was a bee

Fresh from Antarctica frozen to ice

Mother dear I want some sound advice



'Cause I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go

But someone looked at me

And said politely growing a beard

Can be fun, let me show you how it is done

I said don't bother I'd rather go see

Uncle George and Auntie Marge help me



'Cause I didn't know what to do

When you said, you were ready to go away

And they'll stay

Until such a time permit me to say

Oh I love you



People are staring, they don't understand

Cousin Mary please give me your hand

'Cause I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Baby's Gone Blues

(Pat Bunch/Pam Rose/Mary Ann Kennedy)



I feel the blues coming on

Cause I feel you being gone

It's something I wish I could lose

Baby's gone blues



There ain't no sunshine in sight

Cause you're gonna leave me tonight

My heart is sure feeling bruised

Baby's gone blues



Oh - love has gone wrong

It's so hard on my heart going from good into gone

There ain't no easy way back into nights before you

Baby's gone blues

Baby's gone blues



It's like a razor on me

Knowing you want to be free

I'm standing here feeling used

Baby's gone blues



There ain't no dreams coming true

I won't recover from you

There ain't no heartache like you

Baby's gone blues



Oh - love has gone wrong

It's so hard on my heart going from good into gone

There ain't no easy way back into nights before you

Baby's gone blues

Baby's gone blues

THE DEAD KENNEDYS lyrics - A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch

In lonely gas stations with mini-marts

You'll find rows of them for sale

Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley

Drink like a vampire

His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine

Sprawled across from his graceless mansion

A shopping mall

Filled with prayer rugs and Elvis dolls



And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Will Elvis take the place of Jesus in a thousand years



Religious wars

Barbaric laws

Bloodshed worldwide

Over what's left of his myth



A growing boy needs his lunch



When pesticides get banned we're safe up north

We just sell them to those other countries

Soon there's lots of exotic deformed babies

Somehow that's not our fault



Just dip 'em in glaze paint 'em orange and green

For the Arizona roadside stands

To sell alongside plaster burros and birthbaths



And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Why so many insects around us feed off the dead



Death squads

Starvation

Foreign aid?

Just leave it to the magic of the marketplace



A growing boy needs his lunch



Everyone should just love each other

Dip your toe into the fire

Drop your guns and lawsuits and love each other

Life begins beyond the bunker

And while you're busy hugging in the streets

Outgrowing your hatred for all to feel

Jiminy Cricket's found a game to play

Stick your neck out and trust-It'll be chopped away

Jimmy through your locked front doors

Rifle through your sacred drawers

Line my pockets

Deface your dreams

Til the cows come home to me



Nibbling like an earwig winding through your brain

Bound like Lawrence Harvey spreadeagle to a bed

The migraine gets worse when we find out we lay eggs

And no one in all of Borneo can hear you scream



Turn on

Tune in

Cop out



Drop kick Turn in Tune out

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.



O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan's tyranny

From depths of Hell Thy people save

And give them victory o'er the grave

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.



O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.



O come, Thou Key of David, come,

And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.



O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,

In ancient times did'st give the Law,

In cloud, and majesty and awe.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Raglan Road

(Traditional, words by Patrick Kavanagh, arranged by Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney)



On Raglan Road on an Autumn Day,

I saw her first and knew

That her dark hair would weave a snare

That I may one day rue.

I saw the danger, yet I walked

Along the enchanted way

And I said let grief be a falling leaf

At the dawning of the day.



On Grafton Street in November,

We tripped lightly along the ledge

Of a deep ravine where can be seen

The worst of passions pledged.

The Queen of Hearts still baking tarts

And I not making hay,

Well I loved too much; by such and such

Is happiness thrown away.



I gave her the gifts of the mind.

I gave her the secret sign

That's known to all the artists who have

Known true Gods of Sound and Time.

With word and tint I did not stint.

I gave her reams of poems to say

With her own dark hair and her own name there

Like the clouds over fields of May.



On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,

I see her walking now away from me,

So hurriedly. My reason must allow,

For I have wooed, not as I should

A creature made of clay.

When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose

His wings at the dawn of the day.

BRENDA LEE lyrics - The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall)

Her long legs looked like trouble

As she sasheyed through the door

And my mind flashed a warning sign

That I chose to ignore

For the prize I thought I could win

The risk seemed mighty small

The bigger the fool the harder the fall



Fell in love in the heat of passion

Oh, but passion has it's price

Under all that beauty

Beat a heart that was made of ice

God knows as far as I could see she didn't have a flaw

But the bigger the fool the harder the fall



I said a woman to keep

The softer the skin

The sweeter the love

The more bitter the end

Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all

The bigger the fool the harder the fall



One day she was lovin' me

The next day she was gone

And I became another verse

To a lonesome heartbreak song

Now that I've learned to face the truth

The words stick in my craw

Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall



I said a woman to keep

The softer the skin

The sweeter the love

The more bitter the end

Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all

The bigger the fool the harder the fall

The bigger the fool the harder the fall

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Angry Young Man

(Steve Earle, John Porter McMeans)



Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

So much time spent in so little space

What looked like the world through the eyes of a child

Kind of closes in on you after awhile

It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old

You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told

I told mama the day that I ran

This ain't no place for an angry young man

Mama if you could see me right now

You'd be so sure you failed me somehow

Mama you never could understand

There ain't no peace for an angry young man



A cheap hotel a long way from my home

So many people make you feel so alone

Dreams die easy out here in these streets

And hearts grow cold in the city heat

I ain't never been the patient kind

I got to live like I please or die tryin'

At a filling station with a gun in my hand

The only way for an angry young man



Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

Tonight they're starin' me right in the face

A lonely grave on the outskirts of town

It's three in the morning, ain't no one around

Just like a ghost I come out of the night

But I'll be gone before the morning light

Mama I hope that you understand



This ain't no place for an angry young man

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Disappointing Show

[Mr. John Flansburgh]

"This, uh, song. This song is called other show. Other kind of show. It's called 'Disappointing Show.'"

Disappointing show

I saw it

Disappointing show

Man those guys blow

Disappointing show

Get your shit together

Disappointing show

Man those guys blow



[Flansburgh]

"On the drums, Mr. Joseph Stalin on the drums, ladies and gentlemen, man. Some other guy on the bass. Check him out. Whoa! Slow down, slow down. Oh, on the guitar, yeah, that's... play it, son. Yeah."

Disappointing show, yeah

Man, those guys blow

I tried to sing along

Then it all went wrong

Disappointing show

Then the next song came on

That's when it all went wrong

And the PA fell on the crowd

Then the cops came

And took us away

For an extended period of questioning about the PA

What went wrong?

Should've rehearsed more

And talked about the song sequence

Disappointing show





[Flansburgh]

"Ladies and gentlemen!"



[Mr. John Linnell]

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - Democrat Man

(John Lee Hooker)



Democrat put us on our feet, these crazy women they vote them out

Democrat put us on our feet, these crazy women they voted them out

I don't think they make the same mistake, they won't make the same mistake no more

They told them, "Ah, send your sons home",

They did just that, they send them home to stay without a job

They won't make that same mistake no more



Democrat put us on our feet, these crazy women they vote them out

I ain't goin' down, I ain't goin' down, no I ain't, I ain't goin' down to the welfare store,

It won't be long, 'fore the democrats be back in again,

I know the girls, I know the girls, I know the girls

You girls ain't gon' make that same mistake again no more, I know you ain't,

The men vote them in and the women, the women vote them out



I ain't got no shoes, no shoes



[Spoken:

But I ain't goin' to that welfare store.

You know why?

It won't be long 'fore election time,

Democrats be in



I know I get shoes, I get clothes, when the democrats get back in again

Vote them, they vote them in, I'm a democrat man, I'm a democrat man

Please, please don't be no fool no more

Hmm, hmm I ain't goin' down to that welfare store

It won't be long, whoa yeah

I'm a democrat, I'm a democrat man

And I'll be until the day I die

THE ANIMALS lyrics - She'll Return It

(Burdon/Rowberry)



Hey!

Love her in the evenin'

Show your home at night

Always a little lover

She will treat you right

Does she act good?

Does she talk nice?

Does she dress cool?

She's nobody's fool

Set her soul on fire

And make love to your one desire

Love her.. and she'll return it



Oh

She don't need no mustang

No parkling penthouse too

All she wants is your lovin'

All she wants is you

Does she speak french?

Act cool?

She'll cook soul food, know what I mean

Set her soul on fire

And make love to your one desire

She will love you, if you return it



Oh

Keep her warm in winter

Protect her when it's warm

Love her, love her, love her

And your love will go on and on

Does she speak french?

She will love you

No one above you

Give you children, if you want any

Set her soul on fire

And make love to your one desire

She will love you, if you return it



I got one thing I gotta say..

Return it

Return my love (x6)

VANESSA PARADIS lyrics - Walk On The Wild Side

(Lou Reed)



[Originally by Lou Reed]



Holly came from miami F. L.A.

Hitch hicked away cross U. S.A.

Plucked her eye brows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she, she said

Hey babe take a walk on the wild side

Said hey honey take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island

In the back room she was every body's darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was even head she said

Hey babe take a walk on the wild side

Said hey babe take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls godoo doo doo

Little joe never once gave it away

Every body had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there

New York city is the place where they said

Hey babe take a walk on the wild side

Said hey Joe take a walk on the wild side

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets

Looking for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the appollo

You should have seen him go go go

They said hey sugar take a walk on the wild side

I said hey babe take a walk on the wild side

Jackie is just speeding away

Thouht she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash

Valium would have helped that bash

She said hey babe take a walk on the wild side

Said hey honey take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls say doo doo doo

CHICAGO lyrics - Baby, What A Big Surprise

(Words and music by Peter Cetera)



Right before my very eyes

I thought that you were only fakin' it

And like before my heart was takin' it.

Baby what a big surprise

Right before my very eyes.

Yesterday it seemed to me

My life was nothing more than wasted time

But here today you've softly changed my mind.

Baby what a big surprise

Right before my very eyes.

Just to be alone

Was a little more than I could take

Then you came to stay

Hold me in the morning

Love me in the afternoon

Help me find my way.

Now and then just like before

I think about the love I've thrown away

But now it doesn't matter anyway.

Baby, what a big surprise.

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Karma Chameleon

Desert loving in your eyes all the way

If I listened to your lies would you say

I'm a man

without conviction

I'm a man

who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream

Red gold and green

Red gold and green

Didn't hear your wicked words every day

And you used to be so sweet I heard you say

That my love

was an addiction

When we cling

our love is strong

When you go

you're gone forever

You string along

You string along

Every day is like a survival

You're my lover not my rival

Every day is like a survival

You're my lover not my rival

I'm a man without conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Unchained Melody

Whoa! My love, my darling,

I hunger for your touch,

Alone. Lonely time.

And time goes by, so slowly,

And time can do so much,

Are you still mine?

I need your love.

I need your love.

God speed your love to me.



Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,

To the open arms of the sea.

Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,

I'll be coming home, wait for me.



Whoa! My love, my darling,

I hunger, hunger!, for your love,

For love. Lonely time.

And time goes by, so slowly,

And time can do so much,

Are you still mine?

I need your love.

I need your love.

God speed your love to me.

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Keep Fuckin' Me

Yeah bitch you know how real players do this shit, beitch!



[Too $hort:]

Man look at her, baby look good

The way she dancin, maybe I should

Step up to her, and run this game

I wanna FUCK - I don't wanna know her name

I play the role though, act like I'm interested

By the end of the night, she done been molested

And she loves it, that's how I do it

You tried to get with her too but you blew it

I told her I ain't had no woman, I got three

And you ain't leavin this club without me

Cause I'll be - your breakfast in the mornin

See the sun rise while you're nake and you're moanin

And when I get up, talkin like a pimp

That's when reality, starts to sink in

You want me to fuck yo' pussy 'til it hurts

And I wanna put yo' fine ass to work, bitch

Try to turn a bitch out so I can hit a lick

And it's a trip, she's such a good bitch

Mama told you bout niggaz that look slick

You knew about the hoes when you met me

I'll add you to my stable if you let me

So you can get me, what I need so quickly

UB40 lyrics - Keep On Moving

[Chorus:]

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Lord I gotta get on down.

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me.



I've been accused of a killing

Lord knows I didn't do

For hanging me they are willing yeah

That's why I gotta get on through.

Law is coming after me.



[Chorus]



I've got two boys and a woman

They're just gonna suffer now.

Lord forgive me for not going back

But I'll be there anyhow,

I'll be there anyhow.



[Chorus]



Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land

Somewhere not by or near anyone.

Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman.

And my two grown up son's,

My two grown up sons.



[Chorus]

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - I Believe I'll Dust My Broom

(Robert Johnson)



I'm getting up soon, in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom

I'm getting up soon in the morning, baby, I believe I'll dust my broom

Yeah, you know I love a boy, you know I do

Yeah, my friends can't have my room



I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

Yeah, I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

If I don't find him in Mississippi

he's in New Orleans, I know



Well, I don't want no man wants every downtown girl he meets

No, I don't want no man wants every downtown girl he meets

If he don't give me the loving

I want that boy back on the street



Well, I believe I'm coming home

Yeah, I believe, I believe,

I believe I'll go back home

I'm gonna leave my baby, break up my happy home

10CC lyrics - The Anonymous Alcoholic

You walk in the room

The folks are all there

With glasses in hand

But you can't take the band

So you head for the bar

The barman's well stocked

He knows where you're at

He offers a drink

But you can't take none of that

(No you can't take none of that)

Everybody's having fun

So why be the one

Who's out in the cold

It's not good enough

You made a deal with yourself

You said you'd never take another drop

Your craving's big, your livers shot

You'd give a million for a solitary drop

You take your first belt

It tastes like pure hell

The second one drops

Intentions are shot

Well you think you might as well

You take another sip

You get to likin' it

The music sounds hip

So you head for the floor

(So you head for the floor)

Yea yea yea yea yea

Well you step out on the dance floor

And you grab at your boss's wife

You've been longing to hold her close

For the whole of your working life

And the band played on

Move your ass

Well your hostess is lookin' mad

As your hands start to wander

And your boss is gonna get you now

He's gonna put you six feet under

You get walked out the door

And your feet don't touch the floor

You're never gonna see `em no more

The dawn starts to break

Your head's a big ache

You're lyin' in bed

You're back from the dead

And your mouth feels like old leather

(Old leather)

Never do it again

(You'll never do it again)

Everyone was havin' fun

But you were the one

Kicked out in the cold

You slept in your clothes

You let `em down

Down at the club

You know your confidence got to take the rub

Your boss is sore

You've had your chance

He says he never wants to see you again

Don't wanna see you again

(Don't wanna see you again)

You've got to dry out

The boys have found out

It's the end of the line

But it's martini time

So you head for the bar..r...r..r..r..r

BILLY JOEL lyrics - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

Anthony works in the grocery store

Savin' his pennies for someday

Mama Leone left a note on the door,

She said,

"Sonny, move out to the country."

Workin' too hard can give me

A heart attack

You oughta know by now

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that what you get with your money?



It seems such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.



Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat

At night he becomes a bartender

He works at Mister Cacciatore's down

On Sullivan Street

Across from the medical center

He's tradin' in his Checy for a Cadillac

You oughta know by now

And if he can't drive

With a broken back

At least he can polish the fenders



It seems such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.



You should never argue with a crazy mind

You oughta know by now

You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime

Is that all you get for your money?



It seems such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

THE CHURCH lyrics - Lay Low

They say that it's inevitable

They say it's uniform

They say it's undetectable

Do you know who is your foe

How to lay low in a storm

How to lay low

How to stay out



They'll put your pain before philosophy

You'll put the number on for everyone to see

How to stay low

How to lay out



They say it's unavoidable

You say it's necessary

They say it's unforgettable

How to lay low

How to lay out



They'll burn up entering your atmosphere

They'll be obvious to anyone down here

How to stay low

How to lay out



Do you know who is your foe

How to lay low in a storm

How to lay low

How to stay out

ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - Lessons Learned

Just another lesson learned

Wear a scar, a bore repeating

Take a simple fateful turn

Opened up to stop the bleeding



Feeling like you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein & struck nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding



(Nowhere to buy in)

(Most of us hiding)

(Others are shining)



You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all



Just another lesson learned...



Just another brick you toss

Stone the number one deceiver

Multiply the added cost

Easy to become a believer



Feeling like you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein & struck a nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding



(Nowhere to buy in)

(Most of us hiding)

(Others are shining)



You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all



Just another lesson learned...

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Anyone Can Be Somebody's Fool

(Nanci Griffith)



You can cuss the daylights outta this

Pale winter moon

We could ponder every reason why

Your true love was untrue

You can cry your eyes out 'cuz I've

Got a shoulder here for you

But, every day your broken heart is

Gonna turn a lighter shade of blue



[Chorus:]

Oh, anyone can be somebody's fool

Just look at me... I once was a fool

For you

So you know it's true

Anyone can be somebody's fool



Out in this lonely town there is a

Lovely silver frost

So, we could stop and have another round

For this true love that you've lost

It's gonna take a little time before

Your emptiness grows old

But underneath that silver frost...

You've still got a heart of gold



[Chorus]



Hey, when this winter's over

You're gonna walk knee deep in clover

You know your heart will 'round the corner

And you're gonna feel brand new



[Chorus]

QUEEN lyrics - Some Day One Day

(May)



You never heard my song before the music was too loud

But now i think you hear me well for now we both know how

No star can light our way in this cloud of dark and fear

But some day, one day...



Funny how the pages turn and hold us in between

A misty castle waits for you and you shall be a queen

Today the cloud it hangs over us and all is grey

But some day, one day...



When i was you and you were me and we were very young

Together took us nearly there the rest may not be sung

So still the cloud it hangs over us and we're alone

But some day, one day...

We'll come home

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Stretch

Stretching out your tightness

Good enough to make you grow



Stretching out your tightness

Time to open up your whole



When it rains, I let myself get wet

I have always wanted to

Give something to my brother



Proposing to expose your head

To something that is like no other



Hit it



I'll stretch you out

I'll stretch you out my friend

I'll stretch you out



The the two-step goes from intuition that is my liquid fare



We are all in favor of the opening



Three pounds of love and knowledge are expanding in my skull

Truth be told, we let the good times roll



I have always wanted to

Receive it and believe it

And its moaning and creating love



Tender titilations



I'll stretch you out



I'll stretch you out my friend

I'll stretch you out

I'm a fish and I can swim all day

I can swim in so many ways

Make it up as I go along

That way it is never wrong



I'm a bird and I can fly away

I can shift in so many shapes

Make it up as I go along

That way it is never wrong



Ow



There's a glowing up around the moon it's showing

We want to play in the water that is flowing

Very legendary instraplanetary fairy



Varied truths

She's making just for you



Yes, I have always wanted to

Give something to this stranger



M m m moving to approve the grove

A mental transformation

DIANA ROSS lyrics - You're All I Need To Get By

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)



When I was just a little girl

I wanted the world at my feet

Now all that's changed

'Cause I have love

And now I do can see

You're all I need to get by



Like the sweet morning dew

I took one look at you

And it was plain to see

You were my destiny

With arms open wide

I threw away my pride

I'll sacrifice for you

Dedicate my life to you



I will go, where you lead

Always there in time of need

And when you lose your will

I'll be there to push you up the hill

There's no, no looking back for us

We've got love

Sure enough

That's enough



You're all I need to get by

All, you're all I need to get by



Like an mother protects his nest

For you I'll do my best

Stand by you like a tree

Dare anybody to try to move me

Darling in you I found

Strength where I was torn down

Don't know what's in store

But together we can open any door



Just to do what's good for you

And inspire you a little higher

I know you can make a woman

Out of a soul that didn't have a goal

'Cause we, we got the right foundation

And with love and determination



You're all I want to strive for and do a little more

All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into



You're all I need to get by

All, you're all I need to get by

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - O Night Divine

(M. Etheridge)



There is a time in late December

The sun stands still in winter

For three days and three long nights

Throughout time we've watched the sky

And waited for the sun to come and save us

Save us from the longest night



For years I have been doing things

And singing songs that don't make any sense

But if I scratch the surface just a little bit

The holiday paint is pretty thin



Look to the sky with hope and wonder

There's a star in the east to guide us home

We are closer now than we've ever been

To peace on earth and good will to men

As we celebrate the longest night

O night divine

O night divine

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Peaceful World

Come on baby take a ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



People know this world is a wreck

We're sick and tired of being politically correct

If I see through it now but I didn't at first

The hypocrites made it worse and worse

Lookin' down their noses at what people say

These are just words and words are okay

It's what you do and not what you say

If you're not part of the future then get out of the way



Come on baby take a ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



Racism lives in the U. S. today

Better get hip to what Martin Luther King had to say

I don't want my kids being brought up this way

Hatred to each other is not okay

Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son

But I can see more work to be done

It's what you do and not what you say

If you're not part of the future then get out of the way



Come on baby take a ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



Lay back the top and ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



The money's good and the work is okay

Looks like everything is rollin our way

'Til you gotta look the devil in the eye

You know that bastard's one big lie

So be careful with your heart and what you love

Make sure that it was sent from above

It's what you do and not what you say

If you're not part of the future then get out of the way



Come on baby take a ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



Lay back the top and ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Everything is cool as can be

In a peaceful world



Hey yeah

Hey yeah

Hey yeah

Hey yeah

UFO lyrics - Alone Again Or

(1) Yeah, said it's alright, I won't forget

All the times I've waited patiently for you

And you do just what you choose to do

And I will be alone again tonight, my dear



Yeah, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me

You know that I could be in love with almost anyone

I think that people are the greatest fun

And I will be alone again tonight my dear

THE DOORS lyrics - Dawn's Highway

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.



Me and my - ah - mother and father - and a

Grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through

The desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian

Workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't

Know what happened - but there were Indians scattered

All over the highway, bleeding to death.



So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time

I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is

Like a flower, his head is just floating in the

Breeze, man.

The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking

Back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead

Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just

Running around freaking out, and just leaped into my

Soul. And they're still in there.



Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.



Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love in the terrible summer

Bloody red sun of Phantastic L. A.



Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born in the birth if a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

Blood on the rise, it's following me.



Indian, Indian what did you die for?

Indian says, nothing at all.

CHICAGO lyrics - While The City Sleeps

(Robert Lamm)



While the city sleeps

Men are scheming

New ways to kill us

And tell us dirty lies

While the city sleeps

Earth is crumbling

Everyone talking

And doing not a thing

While the city sleeps

Men are dreaming

A world enlightened

Beyond this darkest age

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - One For The Road

(Downing/Halford)



Where would you be without music

You wouldn't be nowhere it all

You wouldn't be here to invest, oh

If you weren't in heaven no more



One for the road

Staring our load

Show us the way



Can you imagine the silence

Well, thank fully we've got the boys

The melody lies fascinated

The rhythm is something divine

Send out a trend of inpatience

To see you all movin' so fine

Got to find it soon



One for the road

Staring our load

Show us the way

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Baby Blue

(Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobsen/Karen Lamm)



Lie alone in bed at night

Feel the pull of a lonely day

Abstract music start to play

I wonder where you were today



(Baby blue)

Baby baby blue

Baby blue eyes I dream of you



Late at night

When the whole world's sleeping

I dream of you

Close to you I feel your sweet heart beating

I dream of you



Late at night late at night

Honey late at night I dream of you

I dream of you



Baby baby blue

Baby blue eyes I love you new

I hold you in my dreams tonight

Hold you 'til morning light



(Baby)

Baby baby blue

(Baby blue)

Baby blue eyes I dream of you

(Baby)

Baby baby blue

(Baby blue)

Baby blue eye I dream of you

(Baby)

Baby baby blue

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - So Long Dad

Home again and the streets are not much cleaner

And the quaint old south side scenery

Is quaint no more

Just older than before

Go up the stairs and down the hallway

To my daddy's door



Your son is home, Dad, and he's found a girl

And she's the greatest girl in all the world

I think you'll like her, Dad, I hope you do

But if you don't that's alright, too

What's new? Do you still work at the drugstore?

Is that true? Still polishing the same floor?

I missed my good, old Dad

My but I'm glad to see you



Come and see us, Poppa, when you can

There'll always be a place for my old man

Just drop by when it's convenient to

Be sure and call before you do

So long Dad

I Think It's Going To Rain Today

Broken windows and empty hallways

A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's going to rain today



Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles

With frozen smiles to chase love away

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's going to rain today



Lonely, lonely

Tin can at my feet

Think I'll kick it down the street

That's the way to treat a friend



Bright before me the signs implore me

Help the needy and show them the way

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's going to rain today

KENNY ROGERS lyrics - Through The Years

I can't remember when you weren't there

When I didn't care for anyone but you

I swear we've been through everything there is

Can't imagine anything we've missed

Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do



Through the years

You've never let me down

You turned my life around

The sweetest days I've found

I've found with you

Through the years

I've never been afraid

I've loved the life we've made

And I'm so glad I stayed

Right here with you

Through the years



I can't remember what I used to do

Who I trusted whom, I listened to before

I swear you've taught me everything I know

Can't imagine needing someone so

But through the years it seems to me

I need you more and more



Through the years

Through all the good and bad

I knew how much we had

I've always been so glad

To be with you

Through the years

It's better everyday

You've kissed my tears away

As long as it's okay

I'll stay with you

Through the years



Through the years

When everything went wrong

Together we were strong

I know that I belong

Right here with you

Through the years

I never had a doubt

We'd always work things out

I've learned what life's about

By loving you

Through the years



Through the years

You've never let me down

You turned my life around

The sweetest days I've found

I've found with you

Through the years

It's better everyday

You've kissed my tears away

As long as it's okay

I'll stay with you

Through the years

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Sisters

Both: Sisters, sisters,

There were never such devoted sisters.

Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.

Linda: I'm here to keep my eye on her.



Both: Caring, sharing

every little thing that we are wearing.

When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,

Bette: she wore the dress and I stayed home.



Both: All kinds of weather, we stick together,

the same in the rain or sun.

Two different faces, but in tight places

we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!



Those who've seen us

know that not a thing can come between us.

Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.

Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,

and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.



All kinds of weather, we stick together,

the same in the rain or sun.

Two different faces, but in tight places

we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!



Those who've seen us

know that not a thing could come between us.

Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.

Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,

and Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man.



Sisters!

Sisters!

Sisters!

Don't you come

between me and my man!

RICK WAKEMAN lyrics - The Journey

By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts

Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past

In Iceland, where the mountain stood with pride

They set off with their guide

To reach the mountain side

Roped as one for safety through the long descent

Into the crater of volcanic rock they went

Look up from our telescopic laair,

One star for us to share,

We continue on our prayer.

Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,

Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Whales

(Gold-Christian Florie)



They're singing songs like us

Why don't we communicate

Their lifestyle is floating

Remember, they're like us

They're coming from afar

Remember, they're astral

What is wrong with their orientation

Where is the error?

What do we know of their orientation

Tell me why do whales run ashore??

We're living like islands

No neighbours to talk or play with

The ocean is endless

There's liquid forever

Our race is so lonely

We're stranded, they landed, tell me..

What is wrong with our orientation

Where is the error?

What do we know of our orientation..

We're stranded, they landed..

We need someone to talk to!!!

DION lyrics - Runaway

(D. Shannon - M. Crook)



[Originally by Del Shannon]



As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong

With our love, a love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done

Together, a-while our hearts were young



I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain

Wishin' you were here by me

To end this misery

And I wonder

I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder

Why

Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway



[Musitron solo]



I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain

Wishin' you were here by me

To end this misery

And I wonder

I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder

Why

Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away

And I wonder where she will stay

My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

A-run-run-run-run-runaway

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Jesse James

(Bob Shane/Nick Reynolds/Nick Reynolds)



[Recitation:]

Frank and Jesse James were products of their environment. They were sent out into the woods by their parents to forage for berries, truffles, rutabagas, and roots of all sorts. Put yourself in their place...you'da been mean too!



When Jesse James was a lad he killed many-a man. He robbed the Glendale train.

And the people they did say for many miles away. It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James.



[Chorus:]

Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life, three children, they were brave.

But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard has laid poor Jesse in his grave.



It was on a Saturday night if I remember right when they robbed that Glendale train.

It was one of the Younger boys who gathered in the spoils and he carried Jesse's monies away.



[Chorus]



He was standin' on a chair just a-dustin' pictures there. He thought he heard a noise (Yeah, what did he do?)

When he turned his head around, why that bullet smacked him down and it laid poor Jesse on the floor.



[Chorus]



Jesse robbed from the poor and he gave to the rich. He never did a friendly thing.

And when his best friend died he was right there by her side and he lifted off her golden wedding ring.



[Chorus]

THE KINKS lyrics - And I Will Love You

I know a place,

Not far away where the Sun always shines.

You will be mine,

And I'll love you.



I know a place where the Sun always shines.

You will be mine,

And I'll love you.



Church bells will chime,

And they will know you are mine.

All of the time,

I will love you.



Church bells will chime so they know you are mine.

All of the time,

I will love you.



The finest moments in my life,

Is when you say you'll be my wife.



Church bells will chime,

And they will know you are mine.

All of the time,

I will love you.



Church bells will chime so they know you are mine.

All of the time,

I will love you.



Yeah, I'm gonna love you.

I'm gonna love you,

I'm gonna love you.

THE POGUES lyrics - The Ghost Of A Smile

(Shane MacGowan)



You gotta walk that mile Honeychild

You gotta walk that mile Honeychild

Well I'll show you what is hip

As we walk down Leeson strip

And I'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile



You can't take it with you when you go

You can't take it with you when you go

You gotta walk, walk that mile

& I'll be with you Honeychild

& I'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile



Don't wait too long

Don't wait too long

Don't wait too long or I'll be gone



Don't wait too long

Don't wait too long

Don't wait too long

Or I'll be gone



Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Born Free

(D. Black, J. Barry)



[Recorded July 24, 1967, Hollywood]



Born free, as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows,

Born free to follow your heart.

Live free and beauty surrounds you, the world still astounds you,

Each time you look at the stars.

Stay free where no walls divide you, you're free as the roaring tide,

So there's no need to hide.

Born free and life is worth living, but only worth livng,

Cause you're born free.

KENNY ROGERS lyrics - Morning Desire

(Dave Loggins)



Here it's seven in the am,

It's gonna take more then wakin" to rise me

I wake up with this need again

But feel the love of the woman beside me

It's just one of those days

When I wana lay here with her

And love her before I leave

And listen to the rain fall up on the roof

And the thunder sounds like horses hooves



Oh I listen to her breathe

And it makes me wana wake her up

And tell her that I'm on fire

With morning desire



It looks like I'm gonna be late again

And I need to get up and get movin'

And I'm tryin'

But the longer I keep stalling

The more I think about callin' in and lying here

It's just one of those days

When I wana stay here with her

And watch her while she sleeps

And listen to the rain fall up on the roof

And the thunder sounds like horses hooves



Oh I listen to her breathe

And it makes me wana wake her up

And tell her that I'm on fire

With morning desire



Well I love to hear the rain fallin' on the roof

And the thunder sounds like horses hooves



Oh I listen to her breathe

And it makes me wana wake her up

And tell her that I'm on fire

With morning desire



With Morning Desire
