FATES WARNING lyrics - Left Here
(Matheos)
Left here long ago
Was passing through the years
I was waiting for the day
Chasing a distant star
While the sun just slipped away
Lost my way long ago
Was running in circles
I was drifting through the night
Tracing a fading star
Moving slowly out of sight
Lost my way, I lost my way back then
Now it seems I'm lost, it seems I'm lost again
I left here long ago
Was someone else back then
I left here long ago
Now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago
Was somewhere else back then
I Lost my way back then
And now I'm lost again
Everything changes
Everyone moves apart
Left here long ago
Now I'm staring into space
As my thoughts drift back to you
I'm facing a falling star
Moving swiftly out of view
Left here way, I left here way back then
Now I'm leaving, I'm leaving again
I left here long ago
Was someone else back then
I left here long ago
Now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago
Was somewhere else back then
I lost my way back then
And now I'm lost again
I left here long ago
Was someone else back then
I left here long ago
Now I'm leaving again
I lost my way long ago
Was somewhere else back then
I lost my way back then
And now I'm lost again
THE BEATLES lyrics - Dizzy Miss Lizzy
(Williams)
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
The way you rock and roll
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When we do the stroll
Come on, Miss Lizzy
Love me before I grow too old
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine
You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy
Oh girl, you look so fine
Just a-rocking and a-rolling
Girl I said I wish you were mine
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When you call my name
Oooooh baby
Say you're driving me insane
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby
I want to be your lover man
Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride
Run and tell your brother
Baby, don't run and hide
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
Girl I want to marry you
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine, girl
You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy
Girl, you look so fine
You're just a-rocking and a-rolling
Oh I said I wish you were mine
OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Bark At The Moon
(Osbourne)
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Ha ha ha ha ha...
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone, gone
In empty burning hell - unholy one
But he's returned to prove them wrong (so wrong)
Ooh, yeah baby
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Oh Oh yeah, bark at the moon

SPARKS lyrics - Under The Table With Her
(Ron Mael)
Nobody miss diminutive offspring
Not when there's big wigs there, there
Dinner for twelve is now dinner for ten
'Cause I'm under the table with her
I give a yelp and they throw me a cutlet
Somebody pats her hair, hair
Everyone's nice to the subhuman species
I'm under the table with her
People all around the world are having only rice and tea
Two of them should come and take the place of Loura Lee and me
(repeat)

MIKE RUTHERFORD lyrics - Smallcreep's Day IV. Cats And Rats (In This Neighbourhood)
Say I'm going, yes I am going in another day,
Coz if I do go home I've nothing left to say.
I'm a man who clocked on but out of my life.
When the lights go out tonight I'll make my move.
Too many years and all those tears have gone so deep inside me.
Oh No!
Along the edge, above the metal dreamlike streamlike world.
Way up above looking down up row after row of factory machines.
There's no time like the present.
Singing a song I brought along to keep me company.
Aching back, my breath coming fast my feet getting lighter, I
I feel kind of dizzy
Running up, I'm running down.
I am nearly there, I am, I'm nearly there.
The light in the distance is getting so much brighter.
I'm a no-man in a no-man's land.
The metal girders that stand all around have now gone.
The sky through the skylight's a different shade of blue.
Cats and rats in this neighbourhood,
Cats and rats in this neighbourhood.
Look different to me.
Let it be a better day - for you my love.
Let it be a better day - for me my love.
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK lyrics - Keep On Smilin'
... Oh baby, yeah, girl, you always make me feel so good inside
What about you and me?
We were supposed to play for keeps. Home grown from the streets,
The jungle in our reach
It ain't about bein' a hood
When you touch me like you should,
I'll rule every day
You let me in your world.
[Chorus: ]
You see through of these years our love remains,
The moon will never let the tide go away
Through the pleasure and pain,
Through the sunshine and rain,
Baby, we keep on smilin'
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years,
Baby, we keep on smilin'
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin', smilin' for me, come on now,
Baby, keep smilin', keep on smilin'
Headin' out to the beach,
Try to claim a few rays
Jump in the back seat,
We're gonna taste the grape,
Red and white they both go,
We're cruisin' the way.
That's right, pretty girl, no matter how hard things might get, you can always count on me.
Hey, you see...
Baby keep smilin'...

SPARKS lyrics - Big Boy
(Ron Mael)
The earth is shaking, so am I
If you don't run, it's suicide
Big Boy, Big Boy
My name is David, he don't care
He's never nice, he's never scared
Big Boy, Big Boy
Big Boy comes around
Throws his weight around
Throws our girls around
Leaves without a sound
Big Boy, Big Boy
He's well-equipped, the girls are sure
Is that a guess, or something more
Big Boy, Big Boy
We're bored to tears until he comes
And then we're crying cause he's come
Big Boy, Big Boy
Big Boy comes around
Throws his weight around
Throws our girls around
Leaves without a sound
Big Boy, Big Boy
The earth is shaking, so am I
If you don't run, it's suicide
Big Boy, Big Boy

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Keith's A Thief
Keith works every night & day
Honesty's his goal
But Keith's a thief coz he's
Still claiming dole
What a fiddler Keith is
He thinks he won't be caught
But Keith is gonna end up in court
The SS men will knock on the door
And Keith won't be working no more
Keith Keith Keith's a thief...
He's making money on the sly
Which he does not declare
No invoices or reciepts anywhere
Locked in the room with the C. I.D.
Rather you Keith than me...
Keith Keith Keith's a thief...
Keith is Keith is Keith's a thief
A rip off and a con
Keith is Keith is Keith's a thief
And he's still signing on
Keith is Keith is Keith's still signing on
I'm not decietful he does say
I tell them all the facts
But Keith's a thief
Coz he dodges the tax
The PH team will get Keith
Coz will all know that Keith's a thief
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Mental Floss
I'd Like To Be A Jelly Fish
Cause Jelly Fish Don't Pay Rent
They Don't Walk, They Don't Talk
With Some Euro-Trash Accents
They're Just Simple Protoplasm
Clear As Cellophane
They Ride The Winds Of Fortune
Life Without A Brain
In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss
It's The Small Small Problems
That Keep Me So Upset
And Send Me Seeking Shelter
Beneath My Mosquito Net
I Stay There For Hours
Protected From The Nights
All Those Insects And Vipers
Other Things That Bite
In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss
I'd Like To Be A Jelly Fish
Because Jelly Fish Don't Pay Rent
They Don't Walk, They Don't Talk
With Some Euro-Trash Accent
There Just Simple Protoplasm
Clear As Cellophane
They Ride The Winds Of Fortune
Life Without A Brain
It's In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss
It's In One Ear And Out The Other
Don't You Get Criss-Crossed
I Recommend You Try A Little...
Mental Floss
Yea, Don't Forget To Floss Every Day!
Mental!
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Turn The Page
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
THE KINKS lyrics - Here Come The People In Grey
I got a letter this morning with some serious news that's gone and ruined my day,
The borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase to acquire my domain,
They're gonna pull up the floors, they're gonna knock down the walls,
They're gonna dig up the drains.
Here come the people in grey, they're gonna take me away to Lord knows only where,
But I'm so unprepared, I got no time to pack and I got nothing to wear,
Here come the people in grey,
To take me away.
Me and my baby gonna get on a train that's gonna take us away,
We're gonna live in a tent, we're gonna pay no more rent, we're gonna pay no more rates,
We're gonna live in a field, we're gonna buy me gun to keep the policemen away.
I'm gonna pass me a brand new resolution,
I'm gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway,
Gonna beat those people in grey,
But here come the people in grey,
To take me away.
Here come the people in grey,
To take me away.
People in grey have gone and taken away my right to voice my complaint,
Her Majesty's Government have sent me a form, I must complete it today.
But it's making me blue, don't wanna tell all my secrets to
The people in grey.
Gonna pass me a brand new resolution,
Gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway,
Gonna start my rebellion today.
But here come the people in grey,
To take me away.
Oh, Lord, those people in grey,
I gotta get back at those people in grey,
Here come the people in grey,
To take me away.
KINGDOM COME lyrics - Only Rainbows Know
I've seen a lot of cultures
Have enjoyed their touch
But as we're growing closer
It ain't working much
This ain't a black or white song
Just a thought I had
If you believe that I'm wrong
Give me hope instead
[Chorus:]
History has shown
We just keep colliding
Only rainbows know
Where the future 's hiding
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - The Way Life's Meant To Be
Well, I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do
As I gaze around at these strangers in town
I guess the only stranger is me
And I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder
(It's your life, it's your life)
Ah, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under
(It's your life, it's your life)
And when I see what they've done
To this place that was home
Shame is all that I feel
Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Too late, too late to cry
The people say
Too late for you, too late for me
You've come so far, now you know everything my friend
Look and see the wonders of our world...
And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?
As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud
With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?
And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Ooohh, I wonder
Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Oh, is this the way life's meant to be?
Mmmmm, is this the way life's meant to be?
I wanna know now
Is this the way life's meant to be?

FREDA PAYNE lyrics - Bring The Boys Home
Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone
Mothers are praying-send our sons back home
You marched them away-yes, you did-on ships and planes
To the senseless war, facing death in vain
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down
Can't you see 'em march across the sky, all the soldiers that have died
Tryin' to get home-can't you see them tryin' to get home?
Tryin' to get home-they're tryin' to get home
Cease all fire on the battlefield
Enough men have already been wounded or killed
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Turn the ships around, lay your weapons down
(Mothers, fathers and lovers, can't you see them)
Oooh, oooh...
Tryin' to get home-can't you see them tryin' to get home?
Oooh, oooh...
Tryin' to get home-they're tryin' to get home
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
Bring the boys home (bring 'em back alive)
What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive)
When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive)
What they doing over there, now (bring 'em back alive)
When we need them over here, now (bring 'em back alive)

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - La-La Means I Love You
(Thomas Bell & William Hart)
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
Are you in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
No, I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even know a song to sing
All I know is la-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, baby, please, now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, baby please now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, yeah, yeah
The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Yes, to you
Listen to me
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, you got to understand now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, come on and take my hand now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Come on, and be my only one now
LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Nothing But A Good Ride
He's pulling out for Reno
He hopes a tire don't blow
Up near Albuquerque
He'll fuel and get some coffee
Cline's Corners truck stop
A waitress with a wet mop
Telling him to don't walk
He tips his hat and don't talk
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
He says there's something about a sunrise
Waking up sleepy eyed
He says there's something about a highway
Telling him he can't stay
He says there's something about a long drive
That gives him some peace of mind
And there's something that he can't take
When he's coming in second place
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
And when it's all over
He'll move a little slower
He'll back up to the trailer
And look toward Oklahoma
He'll pull out right through the middle of town
And watch the sun start sinking down
Still just lighting up the road signs
Getting ready for the next time.
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride
CHER lyrics - Real Love
Do you understand
Just how much I feel for you, do you
Do you comprehend
When I say my love is true, do you
Always - with me - forever, oh baby
I know - we'll be - together
I tell you time after time
You bring me up when I'm down
I'm telling you time after time
I don't wanna lose what I've found
Real love, I still believe in love
Real love, I still believe in love
Do you realize
Just how much you mean to me
If I close my eyes
You're the only one I see
Always - with me - forever, oh baby
I know - we'll be - together
I tell you time after time
You bring me up when I'm down
And time after time
I don't wanna lose what I've found
Real love, I still believe in love
Real love, I still believe in love
Time after time, time after time
Real love, I still believe in love
And time after time, time after time
Real love, I still believe in love
I tell you time after time
You bring me up when I'm down
And time after time
I don't wanna lose what I've found
Real love, I still believe in love
Real love, I still believe in love
THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
(Ed McCurdy)
[Chorus:]
Last night I had the strangest dream I never dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room and the room was filled with men
And the papers they were signing said they'd never fight again
And when the papers were all signed and a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads and grateful prayers were raised
And the people in the streets below were dancing 'round and 'round
And guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on the ground.
[Chorus]
URIAH HEEP lyrics - Heartache City
Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time
Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you a line
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
It's a city of sin
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
Check the star club, see the stars
See the action in the back street bars
Lookin' for love, you're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks, can you stand the pace
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money, it's no real crime
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
Crazy people in Heartache City
City of Heartache City
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache City
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - The Bells Of Christmas
The bells of christmas
Are ringing in the night
The chrildren string there lights upond the tree
The bells of christmas
They sing to me tonight
Bring back thoughts of you and me
Central Park
Slideing round in the snow
And then after dark
Filling the fires burning glow
The bells of christmas
They ring of what could be
For the bells of christmas
They ring for you and me
Sunday walks watching ships in the bay
Midnight talks we voul
We never let love slip away
The bells of christmas
They ring of what could be
For the bells of christmas
The bells of christmas
The bells of christmas
They ring for you and me

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - 10 Light Years Away
(Mick Jones, Marti Frederiksen, Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker)
In a run down bed and breakfast
A room with a view, across the river
I tried to loos the claustrophobia
Opened up and find Utopia
There's no more denying
As my mind go flying
10 light years away to save my soul
10 light years away to change it all
Whatever it may take I gotta try again
Girl it's time to start over
10 light years away
I'd been watching the reflection
Of a bamboo in the shade, when I saw her
A very hot day in Havana
In a midnight blue lagoon
I knew she was hiding
10 light years away so take me home
10 light years away to change it all
Help me find today It's been way too long
Girl it's time to start over
10 light years away
There's no more denying
As my mind go flying
10 light years away to save my soul
10 light years away to change it all
Whatever it may take I gotta try again
Girl it's time to start over
10 light years away so take me home
10 light years away to change it all
Help me find today It's been way too long
Girl it's time to start over
10 light years away
10CC lyrics - Welcome To Paradise
Ooh ooh ooh
I kissed my mother
Shook the hand of my brother
And I said goodbye to the woman I loved
It may seem like a madness
To be leaving the love nest
But I'm taking a chance on a place far away
Welcome to paradise
Who said you can't live twice
You will find heaven is here on earth
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say. . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on (there's a coup coming on)
Bad vibrations (there's a coup coming on)
Feeling the tension (there's a coup coming on)
No smoke without fire (there's a coup coming on)
A coup coming on
I could smell the danger
Never dance with a stranger
But the music took me and soon I was lost
So I questioned a lady
But her answers were crazy
And before I knew I was counting the cost
Welcome to paradise
Love it but don't look twice
You'll soon be living in make believe
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say. . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
Welcome to paradise - Somebody help me
There's a coup coming on
Welcome to paradise - So much I don't follow
There's a coup coming on
Welcome to paradise - I'm not looking for trouble
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
I shouldn't have come
No I shouldn't have come
Why did I come, hey!
The clouds were gathering
And the temperature rising
Be no turning back all my bridges were burned
Then it hit me, jumped up and bit me
Now I'm under your spell I can never return
This is your paradise
Now you must pay the price
You should have flown
When the coup was blown
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say. . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
A band on the run
Annie get your gun
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Oh Freedom
(traditional)
Oh free dom, oh free dom,
Oh free dom over me,
And bef ore I'll be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord
And be free.
No more weeping
No more shooting
There'll be singing
NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics - Autumn Lullaby
The sun has gone from the shining skies
Bye, baby, bye
The dandelions have closed their eyes
Bye, baby, bye
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
The babes and squirrels and birds and bees
Are sound asleep as they ought to be
Bye, baby, bye.
The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray
Bye, baby, bye
'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away
Bye, baby, bye
The robin's home is a nest o'erhead
The bees, they nest in a hive instead
My baby's nest is her little bed
Bye, baby, bye.

PHISH lyrics - Frankie Says
(Phish/Marshall)
Time is me and I should know
I knew this several months ago
I knew more than I do now
For I've been turned around somehow
Relax the world will spin beside itself and suck you in
With threats and hopes beyond compare
I change the landscape as I pass
Meandering from sand to glass
I suction there for one whole day
Until the feeling goes away
I don't need these orbits in my life
Revolve and cycle through
Don't keep coming back for more
I don't need this circular design
Wheel and spin away from me
You've been by here before
I've lost my mind
I've lost my way
I'm bound to lose
You wonder where I am
MEAT LOAF lyrics - Masculine
You got me on the run
You got me your way
Now I'm feeling pretty good
And I'm beginning to sweat
Your love is so fine
You got me feeling alright
Going out of my mind
I got to have you tonight
The girl's so deep inside
Like blood in my veins
Never lets me hide
Now I'm going insane
It makes me climb the walls
Bite my nails to the bone
It's always by mide side
It never leaves me alone
When it's time to get tough
I'm masculine
When she wants to play rough
I'm masculine
Masculine
I know that I'm a man
From the spark in my soul
It can make you so hot
You go out of control
Grab her by the hair
Drag her back to your cave
It's what makes a man a man
People always stay the same
When it's time to get tough
I'm masculine
Masculine Masculine
When she wants to play rough
I'm masculine
Masculine
Masculine
Masculine
In the heat of the nite
Masculine
And the dark of the day
Masculine
Anytime anyplace anyway
Masculine
When it's time to get tough
(masculine masculine)
When she wants to play rough
(masculine masculine)
If you push me I'll shove
(masculine masculine)
When she wants to make love
(masculine masculine) [Repeats to fade]
K. D. LANG lyrics - Shadowland
(Charles Tobias)
I'm a shadow since you're gone
Just a shadow in the dawn
That breaks in the sand
A shadow lost in shadowland
My poor heart just flew away
When it realized one day
The dreams that we planned
Would only end in shadowland
I always wondered
Why you had to go
Whatever blunder I mad
I don't know
I guess that something
Turned out wrong
Didn't quite belong
In this lover's song
I'm a shadow, but you know
I'm the one who loves you so
So please, take my hand
And lead me out of shadowland
And lead me out of shadowland

ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Long Black Veil
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The Judge said, "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - On Your Way Down
(Toussaint)
Sunrise
Sunset
Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet
People fly high begin to lose sight
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight
It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
Vintage wines from the year '62
It's your thing, it's your thing
It pleases you
You got to frown when you cross town
You think it's an honor just to have you around
It's high time that you found
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rises, sets and shines
On the poor folks too
I don't mind you turning round
I myself would even like a little higher ground
It's high time that you found
The same people you walk on on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
On your way down
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Day Of The Locusts
Oh the benches were stained with tears and perspiration
The birdies were flying from tree to tree
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree
And the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me.
I glanced into the chamber where the judges were talking
Darkness was everywhere, it smelled like a tomb
I was ready to leave, I was already walkin'
But the next time I looked there was light in the room
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill
Oh, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang their high whinning trill
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me.
Outside of the gates the trucks were unloadin'
The weather was hot, a-nearly 90 degrees
The man standin' next to me, his head was exploding
Well, I was prayin' the pieces wouldn't fall on me
Yeah, the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
And the locusts sang and they were singing for me.
I put down my robe, picked up my diploma
Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive
Straight for the hills, the black hills of Dakota
Sure was glad to get out of there alive
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
And the locusts sang with a high whinning trill
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me
Singing for me, well, singing for me.

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Not The Only One
[Chorus:]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feelin that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one.
One change intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin
Saw your light come shinin throught
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin out my love for you, my love to you.
[Chorus]
True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin up on you
When I thought that I was dreamin
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time.
[Chorus]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Little Soul
My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind
My little soul will leave a footprint
This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm channelling the universe
It's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me
My little soul will leave a footprint
RICKY NELSON lyrics - Lonesome Town
There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it
Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Lonesome Town
JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - The Naked Ride Home
Just take off your clothes and I'll drive you home I said
Knowing she never could pass on a dare
And knowing it sounded more desperate than reckless or bold
I just put it out there cold, too far gone to care
My eyes on the road, she slid herself down in the seat
And a vision of paradise swung into view
Across those five lanes not one driver glanced over to see
The beauty known only to me, and a big rig or two
On that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home
With the trace of a smile and that defiant look in her eye
She hurtled through space in a world of her own
And turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
As if I was the doubting one who would have to be shown
On that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home
She gathered her clothes
And ran through the yard in the dark
Up onto the porch like a flash, and inside
Then one room at a time
I watched every light in our house come on
Like the truth that would eventually dawn,
Forcing me to decide
But on that freeway the light was receding
Her beauty, a sight so misleading
I failed to hear the heart that was beating alone
On the naked ride home
NIRVANA lyrics - Stay Away
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I'd - rather be dead than cool
I don't know why - every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why - less is more, love is blind
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away [x3]
Give an inch, take a smile
I don't know why - fashion shits, fashion style
I don't know why - throw it out and keep it in
I don't know why - have to have poison skin
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away [x3]
I don't why [x2]
Stay
Stay away [x3]
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I'd - rather be dead than cool
I don't know why - every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why - less is more, love is blind
I don't know why
Stay
Stay away [x3]
I don't know why [x2]
Stay
Stay away [x3]
Stay away [x5]
God is gay!
JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
All right!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
ENYA lyrics - Someone Said Goodbye
Summer. When the day is over
There's a heart a little colder;
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
All the tears they have been weeping,
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.
Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.
Always looking for a meaning,
All the time you keep believing,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Even when the sun is shining
You don't see the silver lining,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Is there a reason
Why a broken dream can never fly?
Is there a reason
You believe and then you close your eyes?
Give me a reason
Why you hide away so much inside.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.
Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Johnny
Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's done
He broke into a drugstore
To cure his daily need
He didn't mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed
Oh Johnny
You see that nun, she's his sister
She doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad
Just as his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope
Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live
Oh Johnny
Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed
Just another juiced up junkie
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - Didn't We Almost Have It All
Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again
[Chorus:]
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again
[chorus]
Didn't we have the beat of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end
[chorus]
UB40 lyrics - I Love It When You Smile (Remix)
[Chorus:]
I love it when you smile
When you're with me honey
It happens all the while
How it kills me when you cry
And you know my heart
That's no word of a lie
Everyday you show me something new about you
Honestly I could never live without you
Look at me here's a soul who'll never doubt you
And I will be forever by your side
[Chorus]
Probably the greatest feeling I have ever known
Actually is when you wrap yourself around me
Promise me you'll stay now that I've found you
And I will be forever by your side
[Chorus]
And you could say you've heard it all before
And I know that anyday you may walk out the door
When I say no one will love you more believe me
And I will be forever by your side
[Chorus]
TOM WAITS lyrics - Invitation To The Blues
Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula,
Yesterday's deliveries, tickets for the bachelors
She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes,
Well, it's just an invitation to the blues
And you feel just like Cagney, she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore
You wonder if she might be single, she's a loner and likes to mingle
Got to be patient, try and pick up a clue
She said "How you gonna like 'em, over medium or scrambled?",
You say "Anyway's the only way", be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here
It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes
This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues
But you can't take your eyes off her, get another cup of java,
It's just the way she pours it for you, joking with the customers
Mercy mercy, Mr. Percy, there ain't nothing back in Jersey
But a broken-down jalopy of a man I left behind
And the dream that I was chasing, and a battle with booze
And an open invitation to the blues
But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy-apple Caddy,
And a bank account and everything, accustomed to the finer things
He probably left her for a socialite, and he didn't 'cept at night,
And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared
So they took the registration, and the car-keys and her shoes
And left her with an invitation to the blues
'Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat, I'm sticking round here for a while
Get me a room at the Squire, the filling station's hiring,
And I can eat here every night, what the hell have I got to lose?
Got a crazy sensation, go or stay? now I gotta choose,
And I'll accept your invitation to the blues

PAT BOONE lyrics - Gee, But It's Lonely
(Phil Everly)
Got Dad's car and show fare
But that's no good to half a pair
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
May as well go home
Got on my suit, my shoes are shined
All dressed up for a real good time
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find
Someone for my own?
Why should I be left behind?
Left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie
There she goes with some guy
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
[Fade]
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Walls Of Time
(Bill Monroe/Peter Rowan)
The wind is blowing across the mountain
Down on the valley way below
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It calls and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a-calling
I hear him through the walls of time
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die
Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love would bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die
TOTO lyrics - Time Is The Enemy
Those days we gave our all
Unaffected
I bravely faced the fall
No reflection
Freak armies of the night
Misdirected
I fought the useless fight
Unprotected
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender
Sweet moon, she marks the year
Unreflected
How sad she has no tears
So neglected
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender

HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Cadillac Daddy (Mr. Highway Man)
(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)
Be careful what you're drivin', man
That Cadillac may get away, you better be careful!
There standin' the highway man, standin' parked on the road
There standin' there highway man, parked on the road
You better watch out for the red light, just before you go
Green light says go, red light says stop
Look-a-here boy, you better be on your watch
There's standin' a highway man, parked on the side of the road
You better be careful, 'bout how you drive on the road
Stop!
I love the Cadillac, long wreckin' machine
I love a Cadillac, it's a long wreckin' machine
Me an my baby can ride it, ev'rything is nice 'til then
(Yeah!)
I'll make a cool hundred, I ain't got time to stop for gas
I'll make a cool hundred, I ain't got time to stop for gas
I'm gonna drive this automobile, just as long as the gas lasts
(Play it!)
Look-it-here man, please check this oil
Look-it here man, please check this oil
Just a long Cadillac, bound to try out your soil
NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Closer (Internal)
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
You get me closer to God
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to fuck you like an animal
You get me closer to God
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to fuck you like an animal
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Runaway Feelin'
(Dolly Parton)
Got a crazy, restless feelin'
I cannot be consoled
Got an itchy urge to up and run
I think I've lost control
You do something to me
Something that I really can't explain
I ain't felt like this since I'ze a kid
And I never thought I'd feel this much again
I've got that runaway feelin'
Like to grab you up
Just run off, footloose and fancy free
Yeah, that thought's appealing
That runaway feelin's let my feelin's run away with me
I get all swimmy-headed everytime I look at you
Though love has blurred my vision, I still enjoy the view
Like Elvis and his hound dog, in a deep fog
I keep a'runnin' after you
I thought I'd been in love before
But before doesn't matter anymore
I've got that runaway feelin'
Like to grab you up
Just run off, footloose and fancy free
Yeah, that thought's appealing
That runaway feelin's let my feelin's run away with me
Ah, run with it, boys
I've got that runaway feelin'
Like to grab you up
Just run off, footloose and fancy free
Yeah, that thought's appealing
That runaway feelin's let my feelin's run away with me
I've got that runaway feelin' (runaway)
Runaway feelin' (runaway)
Won't you run away with me

ZZ TOP lyrics - 2000 Blues
A hundred thousand dollars
Wouldn't touch the price I paid
Of the hundred thousand moments
Of the times I wish I'd stayed.
But even if I had all the time and money,
It's still the same old news.
Nothin' does you any good
When you got 2000 blues.
Ten thousand clouds
On a rainy rainy day
Couldn't wash away
All the dust and the haze.
But I tried and I tried
To search for all the clues,
Why I can't wash away
These 2000 blues.
If I had an airplane
With a co-pilot too,
I'd fly to a planet
That was closest to you.
I'd set the tracking system
With your safety fuse,
And set the countdown
For 2000 blues.
DEEP PURPLE lyrics - The Unwritten Law
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Paice)
Listen to
me
I've got a
warning for
you
You've got to
learn to take
more care
'Cos if you swim in
dirty water
Be careful how you dry
your hair
In a room within a room
In a hole within a hole
You've got to learn to share
your secrets
Or you'll lose your soul
I've got the evidence
I know you broke the unwritten law
Another town another one night stand
You know you broke the law
It's so hard to hold back
When the fire is in your eyes
A silver dollar in my pocket
I don't like surprises
I've got your souvenir
Is that the price i've got to pay
It ain't been that long
Since the last charade
I know you're guilty
But i'm carrying the blame
I took out much more than i put in
And i felt the pain
In a dirty little room
With nowhere left to hide
You told the truth with your eyes
But you lied inside

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Papa Perche
(Zucchero)
Perche papa, papa perche
il sangue non mi va in vino
Perche papa, papa perche
non ho uno Spirito DiVino
e perche sono stanco,
come se fossi in viaggio da sempre
mi manchi tu e arranco
lungo le strade cosi inutilmente
Ho sempre un po di Blues
in fondo agli occhi
c'e sempre un po di blu
in questo cielo
Ho sempre un po di Blues per te
c'e sempre un po di Blues nel mio sorriso
Perche papa, papa perche
mi sono un po perduto
in che citta in quale bar
ti ho tolto il mio saluto
vedi sono stanco, come se fossi in viaggio da sempre
mi manchi tu e arranco
certe giornate non son certe per niente
Ho sempre un po di Blues
in fondo agli occhi
c'e sempre un po di blu
in questo cielo
Ho sempre un po di Blues per te
c'e sempre un po di Blues nel tuo sorriso.
Un'altalena che viene e va dondolando
ma sono in vena, stanotte va, fino in fondo.
Perche papa, perche papa
papa perche.
Perche papa, perche papa
papa perche.
L'altalena che viene e va dondolando
ma siamo in vena, la notte va, ci sta cullando
Ho sempre un po di Blues
in fondo agli occhi
c'e sempre un po di blu
in questo cielo
ho sempre un po di Blues per te
c'e sempre un po di Blues nel tuo sorriso.
Ho sempre un po di Blues
in fondo agli occhi
c'e sempre un po di blu
in questo cielo
ho sempre un po di Blues per te
c'e sempre un po di Blues nel tuo sorriso.
Papa perche
Perche papa
papa perche ah.
Papa perche
Perche papa
papa perche ah.
BBM lyrics - Can't Fool The Blues
(Jack Bruce/Gary Moore/Kip Hanrahan)
You can fool the landlord sp you don't pay the rent
You can fool the world and become the president
You can fool all the people some the time
You can make a million dollars and cry"I don't have a lousy dime"
But you can't fool the blues
You can't fool the blues
When you're makin' all the rules it's so hard to lose
You can't fool the blues, oh no.
You can fool the Romans into lending you an ear
Write a story in the papers believing every smear
You can fool the rich by driving around in a wreck
You can get up someone's nose every time you bounce a cheque
But you can't fool the blues
No you can't fool the blues
You can't fool the blues it just laughs at each lie
Can't fool the blues, oh no.
You can fool your brother into lending you his car
Rub up the waitress for some coctails at the bar
You can talk some bimbo into taking you home
You can fool the wife into thinking you're alone
But you can't fool the blues
You can't fool the blues
That blues chews you up and spits you right out
You can't fool the blues, oh no.
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - This Time / Dressed Up To Win
[As sung in film:]
[Verse:]
'Twas not so long ago we sailed to meet the foe
And thought our fighting days were done
We thought 'twas over then but now we're in again
To win the war that wasn't won
[Refrain:]
This time, we will all make certain
That this time is the last time
This time, we will not say "Curtain"
Till we ring it down in their own home town
For this time, we are out to finish
The job we started then
Clean it up for all time this time
So we won't have to do it again
Dressed up to win
We're dressed up to win
Dressed up for victory
We are just beginning
And we won't stop winning
Till the world is free
[Coda:]
We'll fight to the finish this time
And we'll never have to do it again

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Buttons And Beaus
Your mama's a whore
Your daddy's dead
She went and made you a hard road to tread
She'll never cheat her
She'll never lie
Alone at the gravesite
In a final goodbye
Your mama's a gold-digger
For money she'll spread
Her sticky fingers
All over his bed
She'll do what he wants
And he'll be a king
On her mind is the golden ring
Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer
She's a taker, and dirty knows no danger
Winds never change her
She directs the flow
Weather never worries
A low down ho
She'll steal what he wants
And make him waste time
She'll put on the language
Make him lose his mind
Aw your mama's cheap
You mama's shaggy
She'll show her fangs and they rusty and raggy
She don't forget nothin'
It stays in her head
Cause she gonna use it the minute he's dead
Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer
She's a taker, and dirty knows no danger

SLADE lyrics - Martha My Dear
(Lennon/McCartney)
Martha my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please remember me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear.
Hold your head up you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you.
Silly girl, take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
For each other, silly girl.
Hold your hand out you silly girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you.
Silly girl.
Martha my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please be good to me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear.

SAXON lyrics - I've Got To Rock (To Stay Alive)
Let Me Tell You What You Need
You've Got To Set Your Spirit Free
Just Hear The Power Feel The Beat
Shout Out Loud And Stamp Your Feet
Cut Me Loose But Don't Let Go
I've Got To Rock I Can't Say No
[Chorus:]
I Can't Live I Can't Breath
You Got To Give Me What I Need
Can't Go On Can't Survive
I Got To Rock To Stay Alive
Play It Loud Turn Me On
Give It To Me All Night Long
Loud And Proud That's What I Like
You've Got To Get The Feeling Right
Don't Stop Now It's In My Soul
I Got To Have More Rock And Roll
[Chorus]
I've Paid My Dues I've Been Around
I've Had My Share Of Ups And Downs
I'll Never Stop It's In My Blood
Iv'e Got To Rock It Feels So Good
Can't Stop Me Now It's In My Soul
I've Got To Play More Rock And Roll
[Chorus]
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Can We All Come Together
You are what you are
I am what I am
Can we all come together
With some kind of plan
I want you to laugh
But you want me to cry
Can we all come together
Hey, why don't we try
Can we all come together
Can we reach across the sea
There are worlds in between us
The sky is all we see
So let's all come together
Let's all come together
Why do we like different things
And we live different ways
Can we come together
For happier days
I want you to smile
But you let me down
Can we come together
Let's do it right now
I see you live for the sun
I live for the rain
Can we come together
Can we be the same
I want to settle down
But you want to run
Can we come together
Can we be like one

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - What'll I Do
(Irving Berlin)
Gone is the romance that was so divine
'Tis broken and cannot be mended
You must go your way and I must go mine
But now that our love dreams have ended
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do
REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Indelibly Blue
(Jim Peterik)
Lost in the city
Deserted and cold
Watching the cars passing by
There all going places
That we used to go
And it's driving me out of my mind
And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
They say when one love is ended
Another is born
That's no consolation to me
Just show me some sunlight
A rose without thorns
And maybe I'll start to believe
And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Well just color me blue
Oh all my life
I've waited for one love to make it alright
But now I feel heartaches and tears
Of a sad souvenirs that you left me
Since you left me
I'll just go on a day at a time
Trying in vain to forget you
But time and again you enter my mind
Someday I swear I won't let you
And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Cause baby I'm blue
And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
So just color me blue

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Nothing I've Ever Known
Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'
I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me
How do I expalin it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed
Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
but here I am - ready for you
I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
I'ts like nothing I've ever known
Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now
KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - Keep The Fire
There's a river in
Evening ember glow
And you're wishing you could see
How far it flows
Rolling on to an endless sea
You'd be well on your way
If you could only set sail.
But dreams can drift away
And sails can fill with doubt
Where's your vision
If the embers flicker out?
Don't let it slip from view
The horizons are waiting
Your river is fading
[Chorus:]
So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight
Don't take forever
Take it through the night
And believe the sun
Will rise with the dawn
That's all you need to go on
But for tonight
Just keep the fire burning bright
I will never need to ask
"What have I done?"
Comes a moment when it's clear
There's only one.
Oh, whatever you need of me
I've made up my mind
I'll give you more than you've asked for
And there are those who can foresee
Where we will go
All the future...
I don't really want to know
Only that you'll be here with me.
While the embers still glow
We'll be safe till tomorrow.
JOHN PRINE lyrics - Humidity Built The Snowman
Does he still think about her
Why there was never really any doubt
Every time he lights a candle
Or blows a candle out
The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
This world is full of people
They never seem to fall
Somebody said they seen you
You hadn't changed at all
The fundamental story
Of the contemporary man
Is to walk away and someday understand
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
Brought him down

TOM VERLAINE lyrics - Flash Lightning
(Verlaine)
I was torn out by the roots
And laid out to dry,
My head was spinning,
My, oh my,
Well I walk the plank
And crawl through the mine,
Just searching for you,
So many many times,
Well I've been told
About a thousand rules,
They don't belong to me,
They weren't made for you.
When you flash lightning,
You flash lightning,
You flash lightning,
You flash lightning.
You're the keeper of the flame,
Someone no-one can tame,
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
When I heard your name,
I looked into my cup,
Lo, and behold,
The seven seas came up,
When I hear your voice,
The arrow flies,
The street turns silver
And the fools get wise,
When you flash lightning,
You flash lightning,
You flash lightning,
You flash lightning.
You're the keeper of the flame,
Someone no-one can tame,
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
You're the keeper of the flame,
Someone no-one can tame,
Your Royal Highness, I'm at your call,
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Can't Forget You
There's a part of me that's dying every time
I hear your name.
There's a part of me that's trying to bring back
Your love again.
There are times when I just want to run,
But there's no place to hide.
Even though my heart is breaking
In a million bits inside.
I can make believe that none of this is true.
But I can't forget you, can't break free
I only have myself to blame
Nothing else feels the same without you,
Can't you see, we can find tomorrow
What we lost yesterday
What we lost yesterday.
There are nights when I lay wide awake
Thinking how good it could be.
Other nights I don't feel worthy of the love
You gave to me.
I remember not too long ago we both were here to stay.
But it seems it happened overnight when I
Threw it all away.
I can walk away and find somebody new.
But I can't forget you, can't break free
I only have myself to blame
Nothing else feels the same without you,
Can't you see, we can find tomorrow
What we lost yesterday
What we lost yesterday.
Hope that I can make you love me once again
But I can't forget you...
But I can't forget you, can't break free
I only have myself to blame
Nothing else feels the same without you,
Can't you see, we can find tomorrow
What we lost yesterday
What we lost yesterday.
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Stop Drinking
(Lightnin' Hopkins, additional lyrics by Van Morrison)
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
If you don't stop drinking that wine
It's gonna poison your mind
You gotta stop drinking that old wine sonny boy
You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you
You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you
Everybody's going out
Going out to enjoy
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop
You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop
You drink whiskey have a tiny wee drop
'Cos you just don't know when to stop
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You gotta stop, bop, bop, bop
Gotta stop, bop, bop, bop
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
Everybody else going out
Going out to enjoy
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
Gotta stop, bop, bop, bop, bop
You gotta stop
Stop drinking that old wine sonny boy
If you don't stop drinking that wine
It's gonna poison your mind
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Ooh Las Vegas
(Gram Parsons/Rik Grech)
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You're gonna make a wreck outta me
Well, the first time I lose I drink whiskey
Second time I lose I drink gin
Third time I lose I drink anything
'cause I think I'm gonna win
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You're gonna make a wreck outta me
Well, the Queen of Spades is a friend of mine
The Queen of Hearts is a bitch
Someday when I clean up my mind
I'll find out which is a which
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You're gonna make a wreck outta me
Well, I spend all night with the dealer
Tryin' to get ahead
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Tryin' to get out of bed
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You're gonna make a wreck outta me
JANET JACKSON lyrics - LUV
I've been down this road before
I know it very well
And I just can't believe I've been struck
I didn't see it (comin')
I was (blindfolded)
I'm caught up in (collision)
And now I'm so done
You crept up like a spider
I got caught in your web
There was no way to escape
I tried to switch (my lanes)
But then I hit (my brakes)
Sparks turned into (flames)
I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause
Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love
I was creepin' the road
Just knew I had control
So how did I end up gettin' hit
I had on my (belt)
I checked it (myself)
So how in the (world) did I get caught
I had the right of way
I saw the sign you disobeyed
(It was your fault)
I can't believe the way you wrecked into my heart
I think I should sue ya
I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause
Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love
You caught me by surprise
I can't believe that I'm falling for this guy
Somebody call the cops 'cause I'm falling for that guy
You caught me by surprise
I can't believe that I'm falling for this guy
Somebody call the cops 'cause I'm falling for that guy
I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause
Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love
He crashed into my heart
He crashed into my heart
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love
He crashed into my heart
He crashed into my heart
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
SANDRA lyrics - Forever
I will remember your first kiss
Forever
Forever
You're my shining star, my bliss
Forever
Together
They must have sent you from heaven
And I feel we're the ones - you and me
I walk the desert to be with you
I swim the ocean to get to you
I wanna love you 'til the end of time
Forever
(Wanna fly with you)
I climb the mountain, you set me free
I cross the valley, you shelter me
I wanna stay with you all my life
Together
(Wanna die for you)
You come and wash away the rain
Forever
Forever
You're gonna dry my tears of pain
Forever
Together
They must have sent you from heaven
And I feel we're the ones - you and me
I walk the desert to be with you
I swim the ocean to get to you
I wanna love you 'til the end of time
Forever
I climb the mountain, you set me free
I cross the valley, you shelter me
I wanna stay with you all my life
Together
(Wanna die for you)
Forever
(I wanna love you 'til the end of time)
I swim the ocean, I walk the desert
I wanna stay with you
Forever
THE BYRDS lyrics - We'll Meet Again
(Parker / Charles)
We'll meet again don't know where don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling true just like you always do

We'll meet again don't know where don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
We'll meet again don't know where don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling true just like you always do
Till the blue skies make the dark clouds fade away
Some sunny day hey hey hey [3x]

YELLO lyrics - How How
My life is in a serious mess,
My baby is gone, there's heavy mental stress
I never knew love but I know it now,
I wanna give her my heart, but how how
I never knew love but I know it now,
I wanna give her my heart, but how how
How How
Maybe I should buy her a beautiful dress,
Maybe gold and diamonds, and no more stress
I decide to call her, it drives me insane,
Then she's on the line and tells me "Don't be vain"
I decide to call her, it drives me insane,
But then she's on the line and tells me I take the blame
You [?] little fool and you know what I miss,
No diamonds, no gold, just a kiss
Just a kiss
I got nothing to lose so I know it doesn't matter,
I do it the old way and write her a letter
I know how much I love you and I need you now,
You're the one and only and you tell me how
Now I'm out of trouble and a serious mess,
My baby is back, no more stress
You know how much I love you and I need you now,
I'll give you my heart, just tell me how how
How how
FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Winds Of Change
Tonight there's thunder in the sky
Just like the night you said good-bye
And what's left of a heartache
Runs like rain from my eyes
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
Ain't it strange
How you won't matter
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
I stood like a rock against the storm
And you never knew, did you, how I was torn
And if your memory finally leaves me too
Well I won't sit and mourn
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
Ain't it strange
How you won't matter
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
I shoulda known better than to love you
I shoulda known that you were the hurting kind
Now I'm so tired of thinking of you
I just wanna forget that you were ever mine
Tonight there's shadows on my face
Every one tells a story of your disgrace
But soon the dawn will come
And I'll be gone without a trace
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
Ain't it strange
How you won't matter
The winds of change
Gonna blow it all away
Ain't it strange
How you won't matter...
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Autour Du Rocher
Mes amis nous allons quelque part dont tout
le monde
Se rappelle d'un endroit ou l'herbe etait
toujours verte
Et la fete ne s'arretait jamais
A autour du rocher
This a a little tale about a hotel in the Caribbean.
Well it wasn't really a hotel, it was a patio
bar with funky rooms and an outdoor disco
with bad wiring. Some people said if you looked
between the cracks of the floorboards of our
dance floor you would see Hell. If you ever
went there, you would know what I'm talking
about. If you never had, then we
thought we'd send you a little musical souvenir.
Some say it was a planet
Some say it was a rock
For five wild years in L"Orient
The party never stopped
There were pirates from the Indies
There were models from Paris
There were locals and New Yorkers
And the Brazilian Navy
By mini-moke and scooters
In cabs and stolen cars
Came the creatures of the evening
From St. Martin and from Mars
Alors, Alors, Alors, Alors alors come on, come on
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du passe
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee
Girl at the pool table
puts on a show for free
They were bivouacked in the bathroom
By the hot tub near the sea
Every night at midnight
Seems the devil took control
And the hill became a parking lot
Fueled by rock 'n' roll
They were talking by the cannon
But I couldn't believe my ears
The Russian had plutonium
The sailor wanted beers
They shook hands in the moonlight
And broke out a big cigar
Just business as usual
Beneath the tropic stars
Alors(come on) alors (let's go) alors
Vien faire in tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire un tour autour du richer
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee
It was better than a painting
At le Musee de Beaux Arts
And simply what we did for fun
Back in the old St. Barts
Then the glitz and all the glamour
Hit like a hurricane
Or maybe we just all grew up
But it never was the same
The gendarmes finally closed the joint
And the fire it did the rest
But on New Year's Eve of '91
We sang the last request
We were dancing in the ashes
We were dancing in the sea
We were dancing in the ruins
Where we left our memories
Come on let's go alors
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee
Alors. Alors, Alors, Alors
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
Viens faire untour autour du rocher
Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee
