WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Hummingbirds
I love to watch the Hummingbirds just hovering for hours
They look like mini helicopters pollinating flowers
And yet I still feel sorry for the little Hummingbirds
They always have to hum because they never learned the words
MORRISSEY lyrics - (I'm) The End Of The Family Line
With no complications
fifteen generations
(of mine)
all honouring Nature
until I arrive
(with incredible style)
I'm the end fo the line
the end of the family line
the end of the line
No baby pulled screaming
out into this seething whirl
by chance or whim
(or even love?)
our family tree hacked into decline
and I'm spared the pain
of ever saying
("goodbye")
I'm the end of the line
the end of the family line
the end of the line
LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - Rock And Roll
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.
It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Blood In My Eyes
Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good looking girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, "Hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while?"
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
No, no, ma'am, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I'll tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want to give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Slap That Bass
Zoom zoom zoom zoom
The world is in a mess
With politics and taxes
And people grinding axes
There's no happiness
Zoom zoom zoom zoom
Rhythm lead your ace
The future doesn't fret me
If I can only get me
Someone to slap that bass
Happiness is not a riddle
When I'm listening to that
Big bass fiddle
Slap that bass
Slap it till its dizzy
Slap that bass
Keep the rhythm busy
Zoom zoom zoom
Misery, you've got to go
Slap that bass
Use it like a tonic
Slap that bass
Keep your philharmonic
Zoom zoom zoom
And the milk and honey'll flow
Dictators would be better off
If they zoom zoom now and then
Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm
In which case
If you want a bauble
Slap that bass
Slap away your trouble
Learn to zoom zoom zoom
Slap that bass
[Bridge]
Dictators would be better off
If they zoom zoom now and then
Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm
In which case
If you want a bauble
Slap that bass
Slap away your trouble
Learn to zoom zoom zoom
Slap that bass
Zoom zoom zoom zoom
Zoom zoom zoom zoom
Zoom zoom zoom zoom

BILLY JOEL lyrics - Leave A Tender Moment Alone
Even though I'm in love
Sometimes I get so afraid
I'll say something so wrong
Just to have something to say
I know the moment isn't right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind
But if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone
Yes I know I'm in love
But just when I ought to relax
I put my foot in my mouth
Cause I'm just avoiding the facts
If the girl gets too close
If I need some room to escape
When the moment arose
I'd tell her it's all a mistake
But that's not how I feel
No that's not the woman I've known
She's undeniably real
So leave a tender moment alone
But it's not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when I'm in a serious mood
She is suddenly quite and shy
Leave a tender moment alone
Leave it alone
I know the moment isn't right
To hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonight
I've run out of places to hide
And if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment alone
Leave it alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment alone

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Red Hot Screaming Love
(M. Chapman)
I can't even begin to tell you
How I've been feelin' lately
But I have stumbled across something rare
And you use it to bait me
Something tells me go
Everyone says no, no, no
How can they be so cruel
When they tell me don't touch you
I tell them I'll die
In your red hot screaming love
In your red hot screaming love
If I'm losing my senses
They're lost in your deepest emotions
And the jets in my heart
They won't start till you set them in motion
Something tells me go
Everyone says no, no, no
How can they be so cruel
When they tell me don't touch you
I tell them I'll die
In your red hot screaming love
In your red hot screaming love

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Pride And Joy
(Norman Whitfield/Marvin Gaye/Mickey Stevenson)
You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, little darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work every day to give you all I know
And that's why you're my pride and joy
And I'm tellin' the world
You're my (pride and joy) pride and joy (pride and joy)
I believe I'm no (baby boy) baby boy (baby boy)
But I know you're mine (pride and joy)
My pride and joy (pride and joy)
Yeah baby (baby boy) Yeah baby (baby boy)
You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy
You pick me up (pick me up) when I'm down (when I'm down)
And when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town (whole town)
And that's why (that's why)
I believe you're my (you're my) pride and joy (pride and joy)
[Repeat and fade:]
(Pride and joy)[x4] (baby boy)[x2]
(Pride and joy) My pride and joy (pride and joy)
And I love you like a baby loves his toy (pride and joy)
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - White Line
I came to you,
when I needed a rest
You took my love,
and put it to the test
I saw some things,
that I never
would have guessed
Feel like a railroad,
I pulled a whole load behind.
That old white line
is friend of mine
And it's good time
we've been making
Right now I'm rollin' down
the open road
And the daylight
will soon be breaking.
I was adrift
on a river of pride
It seemed like such a
long easy ride
You were my raft
but I let you slide
I've been down but
I'm coming back up again.
And I'm rollin' down
the open road
Where the daylight
will soon be breaking
Right now I'm thinking 'bout
these things that I know
But it's good time
that we've been making.
STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Get It
[SW] ... Miss Lady Girl
Is putting her love on the shelf
Cause she don't want
To be hurt by nobody else
She's taken her heart
And put it away under lock and key
But it's high time
Miss Lady Girl sets her heart free and gives her love to me
[MJ] ... Some think that diamond rings, fancy cars
Will make a big impression
But I know that all she needs is my tender
Love and affection
Cause she still says
That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
[SW] ... No one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
[MJ] ... Gonna get it, her love
[SW] ... Gonna get it, her kisses
[MJ] ... Gonna get it, her heart
[BOTH] ... Gonna get it, get it
[MJ] ... Miss Lady Girl
Has buried her feelings deep inside
Cause she don't want
To be taken for another ride
She's sick and tired
of being on that lonely merry-go-round
She just don't know
That the ultimate love
Of her life is about to be found
[SW] ... They think that ready cash, flashy clothes
Will fill her life with laughter
But I've got the very thing that she needs
True love forever after
Then no more will she say
That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
[MJ] ... No one's gonna got it
No one's gonna get It, oh no
But someone's gonna get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, gonna get it, [etc.]

J. J. CALE lyrics - The Problem
(J. J. Cale)
Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The man in charge has got to go
Cause he dances 'round the problem, boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know
Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
It's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge, he don't know what he's doing
He don't know the world has changed
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Born in a time that has gone by
The old tell the young what to do
Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The man in charge has to go
The man in charge has got to go
The man in charge has to go

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Daniel
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - Stolen Child
(Words by W. B.Yeats; Music by Loreena McKennitt)
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats
There we've hid our faery vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries
[Chorus:]
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light
By far off furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles
Whilst the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
[Chorus]
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams
[Chorus]
Away with us he's going
The solemn-eyed
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
[Chorus]
For he comes, the human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.
KINGDOM COME lyrics - Perfect O
Passion rises between us, babe
Wanna take you in my arms
Slide your body down on mine
Come and move me like ocean waves
Ooh, let it go
I hear you moan
Oh, perfect 'o'
Touch the secret inside you, babe
While our bodies shakin' so
Oh, the way you tease and please
It's only you I want to rock and roll
Ooh, let it go
I hear you moan
Oh, perfect 'o'
Oh yeah
Perfect 'o'
LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - Magdalene
She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent up all her dough at the movie show
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?
She was only seventeen
She packed her bag and went to the scene
She said I'm gonna take on this town I'm gonna be the queen
She mingled like she'd been there before
She worked it till they hollered for more
Then she took off all her clothes
Now everybody knows
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?
Oh no no, she's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?

B. B. KING lyrics - I Stay In The Mood
(B. B. King / Joe Josea)
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself
You've always fooling around, givin' my love to somebody else
Still I stay in the mood for you and I can see you everywhere I go
Still I stay in the mood for you and I can see you everywhere I go
Well, if something soon don't happen, my heart is gonna break I know
Well, you said that you love me, you've sworn that you'll be true
But now you're tellin' stronger, that I'm just a fool you know
But I stay in the mood for you, 'cause I just can't help myself
Please come back to me baby, 'cause I'm tired of livin' by myself
ROD STEWART lyrics - Go Out Dancing
(R. Stewart, J. Golub, C. Kentis)
Sometimes I wonder
what this old world's comin' to
where it's all gonna end
'Cause I work all week
try'n' to save me a dollar
but I get further in debt
But now on in
I'm gonna spend time lovin'
find a baby sitter right now
Put on your red dress
high heels darlin'
tonight we're going up town
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
I know a funny little place
down on main street baby
where the band will play all night long
They play some hot rock 'n' roll to fine syncopation
and a brother on the saxophone
We got one chance baby
gotta be now or never
Yeah I know as I'm broke
We're gonna make this weekend last forever
come on honey put on your coat
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
I've been lovin' you for seven years I won't forget
and I know it's been hard sometimes
open up the wine let's pretend we just met
We'll get home in the morning
while the milk man's calling
and the early birds start to sing
I will roll you some breakfast
and we'll jump into bed
and we'll start all over again
So hang on tight baby
we'll go flyin'
give your man a big kiss
We're gonna boogie on down
from the Bronx to Manhattan
memories are made of this
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
Dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
It may be the Bossanova
It may be the twist
It may be the Watusi
It may be the Chachacha
Just as long as we're dancin'
come on baby dancin
Take away our blues tonight
take away my blues tonight
Just as long as we're dancin'
dancin', dancin', dancin'
FAITH NO MORE lyrics - Evidencia (Spanish)
Si te quieres esconder
Dobla tu cuerpo y ahi esta
Las circunstancias se quedan atras
Toda evidencia se sabra
Hay que borrar
Borrala
Evidence

Got a taste of evidence
No quise ni sentir
Vivir para mentir
Confesaras la verdad
No quise ni sentir
Hablas por hablar
Tu eres culpable
Las manos arriba
Sentiras la nada
La nada

Got a taste of evidence
No quise ni sentir
Vivir para mentir

U2 lyrics - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To The music in my ear
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
[Repeat 4x]
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Call out your name
Call out in shame
Call out your name
Call out
You better call out
Call, call, call out

THE CHURCH lyrics - The Time Being
Every day
As you notice the sun slips away
A strange turbulence fills the air
Gargoyles and winged monkeys
Descend into the city
Teeth are bared, their claws outstretched
Down in the pit
I sense the unforgiving night rain down on the overworld
And its souls' unrest
As the temptation fades out
You jerk back into yourself
As if falling from a dream
Down comes the rain
Hot clear rain
Washing away our sins
Washing away the statues of Sharon Stone
Erosion of my solitude
Begins its race
And worms finally penetrating the warmth of my hiding place
Slithering in the blackness
All their coldness repels me
I use a.45 to give them some stick
Lightning and thunder cause the walls to shake
And someone searching through the debris
For the photograph of his wife
Oh I want life
I want it now and forever
I want to rise up out of this chamber and clamber into the sky
SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Fifty-Fifty Chance
50-50 chance
The doctor said
In the cardiac room
As she's lying in bed
There's a pan on the floor
Filled with something black
I need to know
I'm afraid to ask
I hug you
I hum to you
I've come to you
I touch you
I tell you
I love you
I sing to you
Bring to you
Anything
Her little heart
It beats so fast
Her body trembles
With the effort to last
I hug you
I hum to you
I've come to you
I touch you
I tell you
I love you
I sing to you
Bring to you
Anything
She's going home
Tomorrow at ten
The question is
Will she try it again?

PANTERA lyrics - (Reprise) Sandblasted Skin
Scrape it, grind it, peel it, hide it
The trend is over and gone forever
Shelf it, box it, save it, frame it
You won't need that anymore,
It's on sale at the fucken dollar store
Waste of time,
Pantomime,
Circus doll,
At the local mall
Exterminate, it's all fake!
Exterminate, it's all fake
Sandblast yourself
Sandblast yourself
Sandblast
Sandblast
It's getting old, old, old
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Spin It On
(This is it)
Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top.
'Cos I gotwhole lotta love for you
I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!
Off to the flicks with the piddle in her nicks, to the fair with her hair
in curlers.
Their cousins didn't get all down to the pleasure dome
Their cousins didn't send their night in an aircraft hanger.
Memories. . .!
Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top.
'Cos I got whole lotta love for you
That's why I wanna spin it on. Spin it on! Spin it on!
Spin it on!
Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top
'Cos I got whole lotta love for you
That's why I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!
Off to the fields with a missionary's zeal for the life
of the wife of the farmer
Their cousins didn't get all down to the billiard hall
Their cousins didn't spend their time on a pinball table.
Memories. . .!
Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top
'Cos I got whole lotta love for you.
I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!
Spin it on! Spin it on! I wanna spin it on! I wanna spin it on!
Spin it on! Don't Stop! Take it back to the top!
'Cos I got a whole lotta for you!
KANSAS lyrics - Carry On Wayward Son
(Kerry Livgren)
(Chorus)
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say
(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
(Chorus)

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Stereotomy
Diamond eyes
That burn me and turn me to stone
Crystalise
And freeze me in clear monochrome
Turn me to stone; do anything you want with me
Turn me to stone; do anything you want
Stereotomy
We can make it together
Do anything you want with me
Do anything you want
Scarlet minds
Possess me and I feel no shame
Silent knives
Dissect me and I feel no pain
Stereotomy
We can make it together
Do anything you want with me
Do anything you want
Stereotomy
We can make it forever
Do anything you want with me
Do anything you want
Starlight beams
Project me in red blue and green
Velvet dreams
Protect me when I hit the screen
Stereotomy
We can make it together
Do anything you want with me, do anything you want
Stereotomy
We can make it forever
It's always the same, it's always the same
Stereotomy, we can make it
We can make it, do anything you want
Turn me to stone
Do anything you want with me
Cover my eyes
There's nothing more they need to see
Turn me to stone
Before there's nothing left of me
Make me a rock
And not what I appear to be
Turn me to stone
Turn me to stone
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - My Funny Valentine
Behold the way our fine feathered friend,
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright truthful sincere,
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
CROSBY & NASH lyrics - Puppeteer
(James Raymond)
Look up my friend
See how the story ends
There's nowhere to run to and nothing to stop you
And no one to hold you down
Look up my friend
Means justify the end
There's nothing below you
When the world falls away
Pull over to the shoulder
I've got something to say to you
It's not so elusive this golden frontier
Pull the strings puppeteer
[Instrumental (Piano)]
Sometimes you get marooned
With salt in every wound
You watch as your own hands reach for the nightstand
For something to bring you down
Look up my friend
The dead will soon ascend
But everyone's even
When the light fades away
Pull over to the shoulder
I've got something to say to you
It's not so elusive this golden frontier
Pull over to the shoulder
I've got something to say to you
This world can get colder this time of the year
And love can disappear
Run you through like a spear
Pull the strings puppeteer
[Instrumental Ending (Piano)]
ERASURE lyrics - When Will I See You Again
(Gamble / Huff)
When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?
When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - In The Still Of The Night
In the still of the night
As I gaze from of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night
Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Spanish Pipedream (Blow Up Your TV)
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke
[Chorus:]
Blow up your TV throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own
Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do
[Chorus]
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why
We blew up our TV threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own
VANESSA PARADIS lyrics - Commando
Un commando
Ca saute aux yeux
C'est pas cadeau
C'est pas qu'a deux
Ca prend des ponts
Aux amoureux
Et ca repond
Aux vaniteux
Un commando
C'est resistant
Ca resiste
Au pire existant
Ca fait des bonds
Et des mechants
Et sur le front
C'est sur les dents
Un commando
C'est dans tes yeux
Ca met les larmes
A sang et a feu
Dieu comme Rimbaud
Beau comme un dieu
Et dans son ame
Ca brule un peu
Un commando
Ca prend sur soi
Et sur la peau
Ca n' decoit pas
Paris Saigon
Libre Cuba
Un ecusson
S'use au combat

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Happy Old World
Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain?
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Losing sight of what we've really come here for
Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?
Take time to look around before it gets too late
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess I still, I still believe in it
It's a happy old world
We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
And highways, they're in places where they've never been
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done
I need some help to get myself out of this maze
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines
Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds
Oh a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess, guess I still believe in it
It's a happy old world
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Unrelated Thing
Do you smile 'cause I'm funny? said the man
I wasn't joking and I meant the thing I said
Not at all, not at all
Said the woman to the man
I was thinking of an unrelated thing
Unconnected and free
No relationship to anything
How come you never look me in the eye?
Aren't you listening to me said the man
Not at all, not at all
Said the woman to the man
I'm still thinking of an unrelated thing
Somewhere other than here
Something else besides the man
Please explain the expression on your face
Then I'll know what's beneath it said the man
No you won't, no you won't
Said the woman to the man
I'll be thinking of an unrelated thing
I'll be thinking of an unrelated thing
BESSIE SMITH lyrics - It Makes My Love Come Down
(Bessie Smith)
When I see two sweethearts spoon, underneath the silv'ry moon
It makes my love come down, I wanna be around
Kiss me, honey, it makes my love come down
Cuddle close, turn out the light, do just what you did last night
It makes my love come down, I wanna be in town
Sweet, sweet daddy, it makes my love come down
Wild about my toodle-oh, when I gets my toodle-oh
It makes my love come down, want every pound
Hear me cryin', it makes my love come down
Likes my coffee, likes my tea, daffy about my stingaree
It makes my love come down, I wanna be around
Oh, sweet papa, it makes my love come down
If you want to hear me rave, honey, give me what I crave
It makes my love come down, actin' like a clown
Can't help from braggin', it makes my love come down
Come on and be my desert sheik, you're so strong and I'm so weak
It makes my love come down, to be love-land bound
Red hot papa, it makes my love come down
If you want me for your own, kiss me nice and leave me alone
It makes my love come down, it makes my love come down
Take me bye-bye, it makes my love come down
When you take me for a ride, when I'm close up by your side
It makes my love come down, ridin' all around
Easy ridin' makes my love come down
ROY ORBISON lyrics - Poor Baby
Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter
But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby
A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways
Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction
Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now i'm gone, you've got yourself to blame
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby, poor baby
Poor baby, poor baby

LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - Destiny
Sometimes I think I've lost my mind
I thought I left my past behind
I live my life and all I know is
Follow your dream and don't let go
No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny
There is no right, there is no wrong
There is no place where I belong
I've done my time
I've held it strong and
My life is all about this song
No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny
If I threw them all away
Would it change?
No
I would live my life again, rearranged
There's a magic in my heart
That I feel
Don't you know that God is love
And it's real
No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny
My destiny
My destiny
My destiny
It's my destiny
IGGY POP lyrics - Real Wild Child

I'm a wild one
Oh baby
I'm a wild one

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Down In The Hole
Watch your head on that root, got to let your eyes adjust.
I'm sorry about your suit, can't do nothing about the dust.
Welcome down underground, hunker down a spell.
Gets to feel like home to me though I know it looks like hell.
Down in the hole, Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold, down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)
Never gets real hot down here, fifty five degrees.
It's always a little bit damp, I fear but I've never seem to freeze.
Mushrooms and earthworms, fancy stuff to eat.
A world of quiet contemplation, oh, yes, just below the street.
Down in the hole, Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold, down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)
I'm in a hole since I lost my baby, living in a hole since I lost my girl.
Would you play in the moonlight, would you dance in the dirt,
come home way past daybreak, cockleburs all stuck in your shirt?
Come back home to twilight, come back home to me,
subterranean river you are meets the molten sea.
Down in the hole, Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold, down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)
GREEN DAY lyrics - Stuck With Me
I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subserviant to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out... Buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed... giving up the fight
Well, I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell
Cast out... Buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed... giving up the fight
Well, I know I'm not alright
Cast out... Buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed... giving up the fight
Well, I know I'm not alright
POWER STATION lyrics - Living In Fear
Living in fear
Living in fear
Living in fear
Heartquakes
Don't lift a finger for fear you'll offend
You can't tell your conscience from an instinct or a trend
Last year's neuroses are now all the rage
Your aberrations could be earning you a wage
Take em to the stage
Constant anxiety panic is near
Living in fear
Rampant paranoia
Everyone's a victim
God's become a lawyer
Everything's addicting
Heartquakes
Living in fear
Living in fear
Heartquakes
Get yourself sued for an incorrect thought
(oh no)
Hide your opinions or end up in court
I'll give you a figure
Go ahead and sue
Got a hair trigger
Got a short fuse
Gimme an excuse
Constant anxiety
Panic is near
Living in fear
Legislated passion
Prenuptial agreements
Ugliness as fashion
Prophylactic demons
Your foundations shaking
Prices keep inflating
Values all corrupted
Coitus interruptus
Heartquakes
Living in fear
Living in fear
Heartquakes
Living in fear
Constant anxiety
Panic is near
Living in fear
Hide from your conscience
You're living in fear
Living in fear
Constant anxiety
Panic is near
Living in fear
Hide from your conscience
You're living in fear
Living in fear
Living in fear
Living in fear
ANDY GIBB lyrics - Desire
We may be big or small
Or black or white, eternally
And black and white is you and me
In a special light
We may be young or old or in between
But this much I know
Together we can learn to grow
In a world that's ever turning
It's back on you
If you give it all away
Make it mine, mine, ine, ine, ine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman
That I base my whole existence on
And when I get to you
My desire is glowing in your light
These are the golden years we get to live
We lead the way
Tomorrow we can start today
In a special light
Love could be good or bad or in between
But this much I learn
Baby, you and I can learn
In a world that's rearranging
It's reality
If you give it all away
Make it mine, mine, ine, ine, ine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman
That I base my whole existence on
And when I get to you
My desire is glowing in your light
And it's nice to light a fire
When it's cold outside
If you give it all away
Make it mine, mine, ine, ine, ine
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman
That I base my whole existence on
And when I get to you
My desire is glowing in your light
You are desire, everything you need
I give you right or wrong
And you are the woman
That I base my whole existence on
And when I get to you
My desire is glowing in your light

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Latins Know How
[Verse:]
In a magazine I read
Where a certain author said
That Latins are lousy lovers
And it's a lie
A libelous lie
And who, tell me, who should know better than I?
[Refrain:]
Latins, they don't play baseball
They're not so good with a rake or a plow
They're not experts at making money
But when it comes to making love
A Latin knows how
Latins, they don't like farming
You seldom see Latins milking a cow
In the daytime, they're always sleeping
But in the night without much light
A Latin knows how
Englishmen and Yankees
They've got quite a lot
But that extra something
They just haven't got
Latins, they're so romantic
They've got more oomph than the law will allow
If you're married to a Latin
Life is just smooth as satin
For a Latin knows how
THE SCORPIONS lyrics - He's A Woman - She's A Man
(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell)
I saw it walkin' lonely down the street
Cool like a cat, like crazy clean
I looked twice again, I can't believe
Oh no no no
It turned around right then
And looked at me
I said oh no, it really couldn't be
It was a man, it was a woman, too
He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)
I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling head uptight so I have to stay
It takes my hand and says come on, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go
We're goin' home, it's nice and warm to say
He starts to move, she starts to play
I need a body, why not you
He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)
He's a woman, she's a man
He's a woman, she's a (woman)

CELINE DION lyrics - Tell Him
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Should I
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's mean to be
All in time you'll see
I love him
Of that much I can be sure
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
I'll
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go
Never let him go

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - The Queen
(Robbie van Leeuwen)
Wake up early each morning,
Wond'ring in the morning sun.
Why this world seems unstumble?
Gotta see the sun rising
And the flowers awaking.
While this world seem forsaken,
I'm the queen of this country!
The river is singing the same song,
Being picked 'round by the birds.
When this world seem forgotten
Gotta see the sun rising
And the flowers awaking.
While this world seem forsaken,
I'm the queen of this country!
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Yam
[Verse:]
Come on and hear the yam man cry,
"Any yam today?"
The sweet potatoes that he'll fry
Will be yam today
The little step that you'll see him do
With ev'ry yam that he sells to you
Is something that you ought to try
Come and Yam today
[Refrain:]
Come get what I've got
It will hit the spot
Get your sweet and hot
Yam
Raise your hand and sway
Like you hold a tray
When you're on your way
Yam
Come on, shake your depression
And let's have a yam session
There's that long note
One, two, three
Yam
Ev'ry orchestra
In America
Will be doing the
Yam
[Patter:]
I didn't come to do the Charleston
I didn't come to Ball the Jack
I didn't come to do
The Suzy Q
Or do the Bottom they call Black
I didn't come to do Big Apple
I didn't come to do the Shag
But, honey, here I am
To do the Yam
Because the Yam is in the bag
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)
(Harold Arlen / Johnny Mercer)
My mama done tol' me
When I was a little
My mama done told me, son
A woman will sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talk is done
A woman's a two faced
A woman's something that would leave you singing the blues in the night
Now the rain is falling
Heaven can hear you calling
Doo wee
Heaven blows the lonesome whistle
Blowing across the threshhold
Doo wee
Doo wee ta too tee
A crickety crack go wickety wack the blues in the night
Evening breeze will start
Trees that crying in the
All in the world wood haunted slide
When you get the blues in the night
So take my word
Or the mocking bird
Will sing a sadder kind of song
Maybe he knows things
He knows things can go wrong
A match is a maybe
Love is the same job
Whenever the four winds blow
I've been to some big town
Had me some big town
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two faced
A woman's something that would leave you singing the blues in the night
Blues in the night

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Lock All The Windows
(John Stewart)
There was time for the laughter and time for the rain, time for the people who don't know my name.
Time for everything, I know it's true and I know that I should have had more time for you.
[Chorus:]
So, lock all the windows. Close all the doors and don't let me go out runnin' no more.
Lock all the windows. Close all the doors and don't let me go out runnin' no more.
But there so many places that I've never been. So many faces a-callin' me friend.
L. A. is pretty and New York is cold and Chicago is just an old story I've told.
[Chorus]
But the hands of the clock keep on goin' around and the calendar pages keep fallin' on down.
Come follow me, then, wherever I go and when we'll get home here, I really don't know.
We'll lock all the windows. Close all the doors and we'll go out runnin' just like before. [Repeat]

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Give My Love To Rose
I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son
[Chorus:]
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
[Chorus:]
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Poor Old Heart
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart,
You can blame me unforgiven for my scars,
you might just be the best that I can find,
but I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried,
I don't know that I will ever trust again,
it's a price I must pay for all my sins,
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt,
and my heart may be lost never to be found,
Once upon a time I did believe,
in my true love that swept me off my feet,
the nthe wind of change swept him away,
and left me drowning in my own pain
I don't know that I will ever love again,
it's a price that I must pay for all my sins,
time has changed me and left me full of doubt,
and my heart may be lost never to be found,
I don't know that I will ever love again,
it's the price that I must pay for all my sins,
time has changed me and left me full of doubt,
I don't know that I will ever trust again,
it's the price I must pay for all my sins,
time has changed me and left me full of doubt,
and my heart may be lost never to be found.
I don't know that I will ever trust again,

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Scintille
Scende giu la neve
Guarda come viene
Sto pensando a te
E tutto intorno a me
Vedo scintille.
Stelle piu di mille
Cadono a colori
Come figli e sogni
Fanno arcobaleni
E poi scintille.
Ci incontreremo sai
Sara di notte
Ci incontreremo sai
O sara la notte
Ad incontrare noi
A credere in noi
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
and I believe in this beautiful love
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
Scende giu la neve
Come viene lieve
Sto pensando a te
In questa notte che
Che fa scintille
E non e il tempo sai
Che ci manca
E non e il vento sai
Che ci stanca
Che non e il tempo mai
Che ci cambiera
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
and I believe in this beautiful love
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
Che bella luce sei
In questa notte di stelle
Diamante nel buio
Che fa scintille
Amore mio dov'e
Dov'e che ti manco
xche tu manchi a me
E sulla mia pelle
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
and I believe in this beautiful love
'cause I believe in this beautiful love
THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - I Bawled
(Bob Shane)
Took my girl home the other night. Got myself in an awful fight.
She said, "Do, do, darlin', won't you please come in?" Her old lady socked me with a rollin pin.
[Chorus:]
And I bawled. I bawled. Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl.
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin. I don't meet with that old woman again.
Oh, yes, I bawled (I bawled.) I bawled. (I bawled.) Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl.
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin. I don't meet with that old woman again.
Mon, the first time she hit me, she knocked me down. Wouldn't even let me get off the ground.
I tried to tell of the rules of Queensbury. She said, "Boy, cuts no ice with me."
[Chorus]
Oh, mon, talk about eternity. That's what that encounter seemed to me.
She started to sneeze and I started to run. Gone like a bullet from a machine gun.
[Chorus]
SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall
(P. Simon)
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - You're So Nice And Kind To Me Lou Della
(John Lee Hooker)
People I had a woman, she was nice and kind to me in ev'ry way
People I had a woman, she was nice and kind to me in ev'ry way
But Lord, she died and she left me, I sang the blues on ev'ry Decoration Day1
Lord, I hate to see, I hate to see my baby go
People I hate to see my baby leave that mornin',
And my Lord takin' my baby 'way
She said, "Johnny Lee, don't you worry,
Bring flowers on every Decoration Day"
I was 'round my baby's bedside, when my Lord takin' my baby, 'way
Lord, I was 'round my baby's bedside, when my Lord takin' my baby, 'way
It hurt me so bad, so bad, until I, just broke right down and cried
Hmm, hmm
She says, "Fare you well, I see you on every Decoration Day", I tol' them
I told my baby, I told my baby, "I bring flowers on every Decoration Day"
I bring you some flowers, babe, just to decorate your grave
People, y'all havin' a good time now, just like the flowers that comes in May
Y'all havin' a good time now, just like the flower that come in May
I think about Lou Della, Lou Della, Lou Della on every Decoration Day
Lou Della, Lou Della, Lou Della stays on my mind
Lou Della, Lou Della, people, boy
Lou Della stays on my mind
Lord, she died and she left me on one Decoration Day
Lord, Lou Della's gone and Lou Della's worryin' me
THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Self Esteem
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
Now I'll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Hold On To My Heart
Whenever you need me, I would be there
Lookin' over your shoulder, you know that I care
But still you walked away
And I could never seem to find the words, the words to make you stay, so baby
Chorus:
Hold on to my, hold on to my heart - when it feels like it's fading
Hold on to my, hold on to my heart - you know I'll be waiting
All this crazyness, it keeps us apart
So hold on to my heart
Whatever you told me, I would believe
And over and over, I had my heart on my sleeve
And I gotta let you know
That no matter where you are tonight, I could never let you go, so baby
chorus
Never a day goes by without your memory
Oh yeah, I can still picture us, baby, you and me
(Solo)
chorus repeats out...
PAUL SIMON lyrics - That's Why God Made The Movies
(Paul Simon)
When I was born my mother died
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
I said "Where you goin'?"
"I'm just born"
She said I'll only be gone for a while
My mother loved to leave in style
And that's why God made the movies
So I laid around in my swaddling clothes
Until the doctor came and turned out the light
Then I packed my bag
And my nametag
And stole away into the night
Hopeing things would work out alright
That's why God made the movies
Say you will, say you will
Say you'll take me to your loving breast
Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness
The way the ladies sometimes do
Say you won't, say you won't
Say you won't leave me for no other man
Say you'll love me for the way I am
Say you will, say you will
When I was born my mother died
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
And since that day
I've made my way
The notorious boy of the wild
Adopted by wolves when he was a child
That's why God. That's why God.
That's why God made the movies
THE CROSS lyrics - Heaven For Everyone
(Roger Taylor)
(This could be heaven)
(This could be heaven)
(This could be heaven)
This could be heaven, this could be heaven for everyone
(This could be heaven)
This could be heaven, this could be heaven, this could be heaven for everyone
In these days of cool reflection (reflection)
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free, this world could be one
In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind
Yeah this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This should be love for everyone (yeah)
This world should be free, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, love
This could be heaven for everyone
You know that
(this could be heaven for everyone)
Yes!
(this could be heaven for everyone)
This could be heaven for everyone
Listen.
What people do to other souls
They take their lives, destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, this could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven (this could be heaven)
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven (this could be heaven)
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven....
For everyone
For everyone

CELINE DION lyrics - A New Day Has Come
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I'd had it all
But I was waiting for you
[Pre-CHORUS:]
Hush now I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
When it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now's there's joy
Where there was weakness I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
[Pre-CHORUS]
[CHORUS x2]
Hush now I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of a boy
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love [x2]
Hush now
A new day
SIMPLY RED lyrics - The World And You Tonight
Don't rush around
The world will wait for you
And too much time is lost
On all the things we have to do
There's nothing more important baby
Right now than you and me
So come a little closer darling
And turn the lights down low a key
And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
When you're lying next to me
I'm everything I want to be
With the world and you tonight
With the world and you tonight
With you my love
The world's a better place
And every day with you
Will hold a treasured memory
Your embrace
Could steal me forever
And nothing else matters
When I hold you in my arms
And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
'Cos you are everything to me
I'm the lock and you're the key
To the world and me tonight
To the world and me tonight
It's the world and you tonight
You are my world
With the world and me tonight

THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS lyrics - Dedicated To The One I Love
(Pauling and Bass)
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn -
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.
Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me -
And it's something that everybody needs.
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.
If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs...
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above -
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated...

THE CURE lyrics - Watching Me Fall
I've been watching me fall for it seems like years
Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear
Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
Yeah slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
Into someone else's life...
There's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
And the neon bright tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
I've been drifting around for hours and I'm lost and I'm tired
When a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
"why don't you follow me inside?... "
Yeah the room is small, the room is bright
Her hair is black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
Is always young... always young
The night is always young...
Yeah I've been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
Seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
She holds out her hands and I follow her down to my knees
And the sucking inside insatiable smiles
"you will forget yourself in me... "
Yeah the room is small, the room is bright
Her eyes are black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
And the night goes on and on
And the night is always young
And the night is never over and over and over and over and over...
And then it's gone
And then it's gone
Yeah then it's gone...
Yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
And in the blood red tokyo bed I watch me coming round
She pulled him down for hours
Deeper than I've ever been
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
Yeah I've been watching me go for it must be years
Watching me get slow, I watch me disappear
And one day, yeah I know, I won't come back at all...
And always over and over in his ordinary eyes
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
MODERN TALKING lyrics - After Your Love Is Gone
Oh you playing games, playing games, hurting my soul
Seven days, seven nights, without control
Oh every day, every night I was alone
When you're not next to me
Should I listen to my heart, girl
Should I listen to my brain
When you tell me, you leave me, and you give it up
Can't we still be friends?
Oh after your love is gone
I don't know where I belong
When you're not next to me, not next to me
I'm dieing, crying baby
Oh, after your love is gone
Oh baby I'm so alone
When you next to me, it's extacy
I'm dieing, crying baby
Oh you playing games, playing games, playing with love
You can run but don't hide, can't get enough
Anyway, anywhere, I'll be there
Cause you're the one for me
Cause when I give you all my heart girl
You know I will die for you
And when you tell me, you'll leave me, and you give it up
I lose my destiny
TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Oakland Style
Yeah! That's how we do it in Oaktown, baby...
$hort Dog's on the microphone...
Straight from the East Side...
I'm a player, bitch, Oakland style
They call me playboy $hort, I know it's been a while
Since dangerous crew took the time to say hello
Mothafuckas makin' money in the ghetto
It's just another day and it's way too real
All my bitches cut, so what? That's how I feel
It's all good so just make me rich
And get in where you fit in, bitch
Well, I get high cause that's what I do
What about you? Tell me is it true?
I heard you was thru, your ass went broke
Jewerly got pawned and your cars got sold
But on the long run you got nothin' to prove
Life to me is like a funk in the groove
You gotta get right in where you belong
Find a right mission and ride the song
Ride it...Oakland style...Bitch!

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - More Than This
i woke up and the world outside was dark
all so quiet before the dawn
opened up the door and walked outside
the ground was cold
i walked until i couldn't walk anymore
to a place i'd never been
there was something stirring in the air
in front of me, i could see
more than this
more than this
so much more than this
there is something else there
when all that you had has all gone
and more than this
i stand
feeling so connected
and i'm all there
right next to you
it started when i saw the ship go down
i saw them struggle in the sea
and suddenly the picture disappears
in front of me
now we're busy making all our busy plans
on foundations built to last
but nothing fades as fast as the future
and nothing clings like the past, until we can see
more than this
more than this
so much more than this
there is something out there
more than this
it's coming through
and more than this
i stand alone and so connected
and I'm all there
right next to you
oh then it's alright
when with every day another bit falls away
oh but it's still alright, alright, alright
and like words together we can make some sense
much more than this
way beyond imagination
much more than this
beyond the stars
with my head so full
so full of fractured pictures
and i'm all there
right next to you
so much more than this
there is something else there
when all that you had has all gone
and more than this
i'm alone
feeling so connected
and i'm all there right next to you
more than this
more than this
more than this
T. REX lyrics - Country Honey
Take me down to the country honey,
Take me down to the country honey,
In a jeep that's sweet,
In a jeep that's neat,
Take me down to the country honey.
Take me down to the sea-side baby,
Take me down to the sea-side baby,
In a jeep that's neat,
In a jeep that's sweet,
Take me down to the country honey.

SLAYER lyrics - Desire
(Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: Araya)
No one could ever doubt my rapture
As you too wil son discover
No one will ever cross my love
Deadly consequence will rise above
Lying all alone
Visions of erotic bliss
Feel your warmth from inside your skin
A fever I can not resist
Desire I would kill for you
Right or wrong I'd do anything
True and pure the intensity
Every time death is next to me
Lying all alone
Visions of erotic bliss
Feel your warmth from inside your skin
A fever I can not resist
[Lead: Hanneman/King]
Anxiously feeling grotesque
Up against your flesh
Forbidden fantasies
Uncontrollable heat
Find yourself all alone and dead
Visions of corroding bliss
Feel the warmth from inside your skin
A sensation I can't resist
SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Ol' 55
(Tom Waits)
Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
[Chorus:]
Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Well there's trucks all a-passing and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place
[Chorus]
Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
[Chorus]
HERBIE HANCOCK lyrics - A Song For You
(Leon Russell)
[Originally by Leon Russell]
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Suddenly Everything Has Changed (Death Anxiety Caused By Moments Of Boredom)
Putting all the vegetables away
That you bought at the grocery store today
And it goes fast
You think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed
Driving home, the sky accelerates
And the clouds all form a geometric shape
And it goes fast
You think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed
Putting all the clothes you've washed away
And as you're folding up the shirts you hesitate
Then it goes fast
You think of the past
And suddenly everything has changed
THE SMALL FACES lyrics - Get Yourself Together
You say that you miss him
I can tell by the way you kiss him
Get yourself together
And you'll be alright
You say that you love him
Now he's gone so please forget him
Get yourself together
And you'll be alright
I'm just like you so take my lead
You see me as a friend but
I'm a friend in need
Get yourself together
And you'll be alright
So if you feel that you need me
I'm here beside you
Can't you see me?
Get yourself together
And you'll be al-right
Get yourself together
You're gonna be alright
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Picasso Moon
South of Market in the land of ruin
You get all manner of action
Tinsel tigers in The Metal Room
Stalking satisfaction.
They got 'em packaged up for love and money
Tattooed tots and chrome spike bunnies
Check my conscience at the DMZ
And roll on in, gonna roll in it, honey
But I get a feelin like when big things collide
Like the crack before the thunder, like I really ought to hide
And here comes Metal Angel, she looks ready to ride;
& What's that she's tryin' to show me..?
What's that you're tryin' to show me..?
[Chorus:]
Picasso Moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets ripping up the night
Picasso Moon, liberate me,
From the middle of eternity,
Something hooks her little finger at me,
An' it's bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.
Hangin' ten out on space and time
Redefining distance.
The next skull on your necklace is mine:
Cheap for such assistance
I had a job trading bits for pieces
We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases
Please, find my resignation enclosed,
Roll with it, roll with it, we gonna roll in it, honey..,
Dark Angel, What's botherin' you?
So strange, you'll do me all that you do
Dark Angel, you're makin' me blue..,
I guess it doesn't matter..,
I guess it doesn't matter...
[Second chorus:]
Picasso Moon, blinding ball,
Spinning fire, the lightning calls
Picasso Moon, fall into the sky
Rarin' out, I'm gonna testify
And stare a shout into that burning eye,
Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.
Strikes morning; the atomic dawn,
Scramble back to cover.
Quick, pop your mirrored sunglasses on,
My little leather-winged lover.
I see your face printed on my money,
Your blazin' ways really move me, honey..!
Heart of darkness, Yea-e-yea-e-e-hoo..,
Why'm I laughing? This ain't funny
Dark Angel, now just don't start..,
You'll break my spirit, wreck my heart
You must have a license for practisin' that art.
I don't presume to imagine.
I don't presume to imagine.
[Chorus:]
Picasso Moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso Moon, wheels within wheels
What's true when everything's real?
It's all new, I'm gonna scatter the seals
Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.
Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.
Picasso Moon, etc.

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - One And Only Man
(Winwood/Capaldi)
Every time I see you, girl, it makes me feel so sad
Knowing you've been seeing some other guy that treats you bad
Did you know I'm burning deep inside for you?
Just give me the chance now and we can see it through
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man
Gonna take you with me far away from hearts of stone
We'll live in the country and raise some children of our own
I will be your lover, I will be your friend
I'll give you my loving, on that you can depend
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man
And there'll be no more crying, I'll make your dreams come true
You know I'll never turn my back on you
Take you to the city, girl, we're gonna buy some clothes
Dress you up so pretty and then we'll take in all the shows
Find a place that's jumping, where the music's tight
And we'll keep on dancing 'til the morning light
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man, oh yeah
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man
Know I'm gonna give you everything I can
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man,
There'll be no more running, gonna make a stand
