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

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
