THE G-CLEFS lyrics - I Understand (Just How You Feel)

(Pat Best)



I understand just how you feel

Your love for me, why not be mine

It's over now but it was grand

I understand, I understand



If you ever change your mind

Come back to me and you will find

Me waiting there, at your command

I understand, I understand



I miss you so, please believe me when I tell you

I just can't stand to see you go

You know



If you ever change your mind

Come back to me and you will find

Me waiting there at your command

I understand, I understand



[Spoken:]

"I understand just how you feel

Let bygones be bygones

But always remember I love you

I love you, I love you"



(We'll sip a cup of wine, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne)

I understand

THE CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD lyrics - Give Me Just A Little More Time

[Chorus:]

Give me just a little more time

And our love will surely grow

Give me just a little more time

And our love will surely grow



Life's too short to make a mistake

Let's think of each other and hesitate

Young and impatient we may be

There's no need to act foolishly

If we part our hearts won't forget it

Years from now we'll surely regret it



[Chorus]



You're young and you're in a hurry

You're eager for love but don't you worry

We both want the sweetness in life

But these things don't come overnight

Don't give up cos love's been slow

Boy, we're gonna succeed with another blow



Give me just a little more time

And our love will surely grow

Baby please baby

Baby please baby



Love is that mountain we must climb

Let's climb it together your hand in mine

We haven't known each other too long

But the feeling I have is oh so strong

I know we can make it there's no doubt

We owe it to ourselves to find it out



Just,

[Chorus]



Give me just a little more time

And our love will surely grow

Baby, please baby

Baby, please baby



[Chorus]

[Repeat And Fade]

METALLICA lyrics - The End Of The Line

(James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo)



Need

More and more

Tainted misery



Bleed

Battle scars

Chemical affinity



Reign

Legacy

Innocence corrode



Stain

Rot away

Catatonic overload



Choke

Asphyxia

Snuff reality



Scorch

Kill the light

Incinerate celebrity



Reaper

Butchery

Karma amputee



Bloodline

Breeding fine

Death contagious deity



Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more



New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Never mind

You reach the end of the line



Time

Choke the clock

Steal another day



Die

Faithfully

Narcissistic fade away



Twisted

Jump the rail

Shout at the crowd below



Breaker

Chase the ghost

The latest high to all time low



Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more



New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Never mind

You reach the end of the line



Drop the hourglass of time

Spinning sand we will not find

As we gather here today

We bid farewell



The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master



Need more and more

Right now and ever after

Need more and more



New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Never mind



Dead hourglass of time

Sand we will not ever find

We gather here today

Say goodbye

'Cause you've reached the end of the line



The end of the line

The end of the line

The end of the line

You've reached the end of the line

LOBO lyrics - Shot Down Honcho

(Lobo)



I went away one day,

Not a word did I say,

Searchin' for a place in the sun

A pretty face in a place

Brought me nothing by disgrace

I'm a put down son - of - a - gun



I'm a shot down honcho half the way home

Standin' here a waitin' for a ride, ride, ride

I'll take a car or truck a motor scooter or a bus

I got to get home to your side, side, side

I got to get home to your side



How did I know when I go

That the feelin' would show

And you really would miss your old man

I got no pay or a way

To get to you today

So hold on as long as you can



I'm just a shot down honcho half the way home

Standin' here a waitin' for a ride, ride, ride

I'll take a car or truck a wheel barrow or a bus

I got to get home to your side, side, side

I got to get home to your side



A burly bear in a chair

Tells me to cut my hair

If I expect to get a ride

Why have no fear I don't hear

Put it in your ear

'Cause I ain't got nothin' to hide

JAY AND THE AMERICANS lyrics - Let's Lock The Door

(Roy Alfred and Wes Farrell)



[Door squeaks and slams]



(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



We met at a party last week

And the moment your eyes looked into mine

Right then, my lips forgot how to speak

And the soda started tastin' like wine



(How I wish everyone would go home)

(So I could say when I got you alo-o-o-one)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



We started to talk and you smiled

Sorta like you knew the way that I felt

You moved a little closer in a while

And I knew my heart was startin' to melt



(There was-a so much I wanted to say)

(But all the words came out this wa-a-a-ay)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-NO!)

(Oh, yeah NO!)

(Oh, yeah AHH!)



(I'll kiss your lips like a kiss oughta be)

(And then I know you'll be sayin' to me-e-e-e)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



[Mixed scat to end]

ANITA BAKER lyrics - Only For A While

(Dawn Thomas)



For a little while

We know what heartache is

And we feel the pain the world can sometimes bring

For a while

We cry in the night

Without a single song to sing

But one day all will change

There'll be no more stormy rain

Then at last we will rest forevermore



So if you're in the valley

And life is so unkind

And, if the tears keep falling

From your tired eyes

If burdens seem so heavy

And it's hard to smile

Then just remember

It's only for a while



For a little while

You lose someone you love

And miss the times together that you shared

For a little while

You feel all alone and scared

With no one there to hold

Oh, the nights get long and cold

But it won't last

It will pass in time



So if you're in the valley

And life is so unkind

And if the tears keep falling

From your tired eyes

If burdens seem so heavy

If it's hard to smile

Then just remember

It's only for a while

FATES WARNING lyrics - The Ivory Gate Of Dreams II. Cold Daze

The coldness of confusion

Hangs in the morning air as

Brazen bells ring reality

To announce the conqueror dawn



Removed from nights fleeting trance

Plunged headlong into cold days

Where in a circle we wander

The barren wastes of our pasts.

VINCE GILL lyrics - This Memory Of You

The blues are in the air tonight

Love has gone and passed me by without a warning

I light up another cigarette

The pain hasn't hit me yet

But I know it's comin'



[Chorus:]

And your perfume lingers still upon my pillow case

And the tears just started fallin' down upon my face

I lie here in the lonliness

With this memory of you



I don't know where you are tonight

I'm staring at the candlelight

And I miss you babe

In the darkness here all by myself

I imagine you with someone else

I'm gong crazy

And with everything about you dancing in my head

Girl I sure am lonely in this empty bed

I lie here in the lonliness

With this memory of you



[Chorus]



The blues are in the air tonight

Love has gona and passed me by

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - All The Time

[Too $hort:]

All the time, gettin mine, that's why I'm pimpin



That's why I'm pimpin, all the time

Gettin mine..

That's how we do it, straight pimpin

All the time, all the time



It's the original, D-O-G, Short Dawg

They said don't do it, but I gotta go off

You talked a lot of shit and can't back it up

Say you make a lot of money and can't stack enough

Spend it on the strippers and the prostitutes

Do what you gotta do

No SoundScans got your record label hot at you

They droppin you, two years ago we was poppin you

You was talkin shit about nobody stoppin you

I told the lil' homey a long time ago

If you put your mind to it, you can find some dough

It don't matter, even if yo' pockets kinda low

All you gotta do is knock a fine ass hoe

Fuck that bitch like a porno star

Walk her to the corner I bet she won't go far

I knew the day would come when you would notice it

Get wise and realize bein broke ain't shit



[Chorus: Too $hort]

That's why I'm pimpin, all the time

Gettin hoes to give me money, I'm gettin mine

You know I ain't lyin

Cause what I spend and what I'm ridin is the shit

That's why I do this; straight pimpin, all the time

If you see my bitch hoein, I'm gettin mine

You know I ain't lyin, tricks love what I'm supplyin

It's the shit, that's why I do this



[Too $hort:]

It's been around a long time

Pimpin, manipulatin minds, prostitutin women

Pussy - is worth a lot of money

She says that everyday you gotta pay me when you want me

Tricks like to fuck and do that freaky shit

You know I kick my hoe ass, she don't bring me gifts

I'm talkin cold cash money, nothin else'll do

Get my money bitch you better fuck until he's through

Make that trick come quick, and don't stop him

And if he's slippin, you better rob him

Go out and turn another date, don't hesitate

You know daddy loves you when you keep my money straight

You ride the best cars, eat good, and drink fat

You can't do this shit without me don't you ever think that

Recognize my bald head and my gangsta limp

Damn it feels good to be a pimp



[Chorus]



[Too $hort:]

I hear you squares, you try to criticize us players

But when the pussy's on sale I see you always there

A good customer, you know yo' game ain't tough

And even though we came up doin all the same stuff

I'm a pimp, I turn a bitch out quick

Have her standin on the corner tryin to get some dick

Lay on yo' back bitch, and get my cash

Cause if you don't, I gotta kick yo' ass

Fuck all that drama

This ain't HBO I whup you like yo' momma

If you don't pay me hoe, I do this everyday

I check bitches and get paid

I want the money I ain't tryin to get laid

Ain't nuttin new about this shit, it's the oldest profession

Sellin pussy while it's snowin at the coldest intersection

I know how you feel about me, you love me

Turnin tricks thinkin of me



[Chorus]



[Too $hort:]

All the time..

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - The Last Spike

Mornings feel so damn sad these days

Without the call of the 8:15

That old familiar echo

Has finally died away

Leaving nothing but a chill

Where there once was a mighty scream



And I've watched the flat cars

Take away our timber

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

And now that we've got

Nothing left to take we're told

That the wheels will stop turning,

The whistles will stop blowing,

These foolish dreams must stop



Last year they closed down the post office,

Took the only flag we had in town

That old brick building

Still stands like a cenotaph

To a vision lost and buried in

A very distant past



And I've watched the flat cars

Take away our timber

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

And now that we've got

Nothing left to take we're told

That the wheels will stop turning,

The whistles will stop blowing,

These foolish dreams must stop



The longest train I've ever seen

Was the train that you were on

I walked you to the station,

We kissed and you were gone

I dream at night about you coming home

The train in the station,

Your uniform on fire

As you step onto the platform

The band plays a little louder,

And as we embrace your cap falls off

Oh, I guess these foolish dreams must stop



Mornings feel so damn sad these days

Without the call of the 8:15

Looks like this town is finally

Going to die away

Leaving nothing but broken promises

Where there once was small town dreams



And I've watched the flat cars

Take away our timber

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

And now that we've got

Nothing left to take we're told

That the TV station will be closing,

Main Street windows will need boarding,

That these foolish dreams must stop

TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - Don't Go Away

We were sharing so many words and feelings

Age is heavier, it seems, than years alone

But, I told you things I wouldn't dream of telling anyone

Are we drifting out, like flowers from a forgotten someone



Don't go away

I can't feel the same without you



We were making so many plans and secrets

We would both be millionaires or kings or presidents

But like everything those little dreams

Just kind of came and went

Hard now just to make end meet

How soon we al forget

THE POGUES lyrics - Night Train To Lorca

(Jem Finer)



Across the dark and dusty plain

Where scars of old dry rivers run

Night unfolds, a coal black shroud

Across the hard and stony ground



Distant stars shining bright

In the cavern of the night

All is still and silence screams

To the thunder of the Lorca train



Flaming steal swift as wind

Wires hum the rails ring

Smokestack burning fiery sparks

Rise up to the stars



Towns asleep by empty roads

Churches rise from crooked roofs

Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs

Grow smaller darker disappear



See the moon so still and cold

A million stars that shed no warmth

Your nightmares all come out to play

In the silver light

Wait for sunrise in the east

Long shadows crawl across the plain

The ghosts of night will disappear

And lay your fears to rest



Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed

The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled

On tracks of iron, straight and cold

The silver moonlight danced



The flames are in the fireman's eye

Orange in the engines glow

Gleaming pistons whirling cranks

Wait for dawn the rooster's crow

JANET JACKSON lyrics - Truth

How did I get here

Think I know what I did

Always worked real hard

Maybe I missed something

I'm not into pointing fingers

Showin who's right or wrong

I just wanna keep it real

Cause maybe I was doin fine on my own



Listen:

I had a career before now didn't I

I had lots of friends before now didn't I

And I had my fans before now didn't I

And I had my family before now didn't I



Guess without you

My little life was nothing

But don't sweat it

Let's say we disagree so

Arguing ain't necessary cause

We both have out whole lives left to live

We're both consumed with jealousy

But the truth can set you free



Don't act like you don't know the truth

Cause deep down in your heart you do

Let it go

Ooh child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh child thing will be bright cause

Truth will set you free



Conversations deep

When you talk to yourself

There's no wayt to cheat

Cause you know you can't be no one else

Won't trip out on disappointment

Cause failure is just not me

Still I gotta do my job

Cause you know my show can't go on without me



Listen:

I had a career before now didn't I

Sold out round the worl before now didn't I

I had a few hits before now didn't I

And danced until my feet were sore now didn't I



Guess without you

My little life was nothing

But don't sweat it

Let's say we disagree so

Arguing ain't necessary cause

We both have out whole lives left to live

We're both consumed with jealousy

But the truth can set you free



It's hard to believe

The love between us is over

It's sad to think we couldn't work it out

But how much is enough to pay for this mistake

Hope your love was sincere



Don't act like you don't know the truth

Cause deep down in your heart you do

Let it go

Ooh child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh child thing will be bright cause

Truth will set you free



Don't act like you don't know the truth

Cause deep down in your heart you do

Let it go

Ooh child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh child thing will be bright cause

Truth will set you free



Do you know the truth

Feel it

Live it

Do you know the truth

Trust it

Believe it

Do you know the truth

You want it

And need it

Do you know the truth

To find it

Embrace it

And never let it go

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Anyway The Wind Blows

Anyway the wind blows

Is-a fine with me

Anyway the wind blows

It don't matter to me

'Cause I'm thru with-a fussin'

And-a fightin' with-a you

I went out and found a woman

Who is gonna be true

She makes me oh so happy now

I'm never ever blue

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows



She is my heart and soul

And she loves me tenderly

Now my story can be told

Just how good she is to me

Yes, she treats me like she loves me

And she never makes me cry

I'm gonna stick with her

Till the day I die

She's not like you, baby

She would never ever lie

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows



Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows



Now that I am free

From the troubles of the past

Took me much too long to see

That our romance couldn't last

I'm gonna go away

And leave you standing at the door

I'll tell you, pretty baby,

I won't be back no more

'Cause you don't even know

What love is for

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows

Anyway the wind blows

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Give Me All Night

(Carly Simon/Gerard McMahon)



I have no need of half of anything

No half time, no half of a man's attention

Give me all the earth and sky

And at the same time add a new dimension

Half the truth is of no use

Give it all, give it all to me

I can stand it

I am strong that way



Give me all night

Give me the full moon

And if I can't take the whole of you

Give it to me anyway

Give me all night

'Till the last star fades

And if you can't take my heart and soul

Take it from me anyway



Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls

And, when I cry my tears'll fill an ocean

The pain of love I'll accept it all

As long as you'll join me in that emotion

Half of lovin' is no fun

Give it all, give it all to me

I can stand it

I am strong that way



Don't leave me guessing alone

Don't walk me half the way home

You can do that tomorrow

Just give me give me all night.

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Nella Fantasia

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto

Li tutti vivono in pace e in onesta

Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere

Come le nuvole che volano

Pien' d'umanita in fondo all'anima



Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro

Li anche la notte e meno oscura

Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere

Come le nuvole che volano



Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo

Che soffia sulle citta, come amico

Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere

Come le nuvole che volano

Pien' d'umanita in fondo all'anima



[Translation:]



In my fantasy I see a just world

Where everyone lives in peace and honesty

I dream of a place to live that is always free

Like a cloud that floats

Full of humanity in the depths of the soul



In my fantasy I see a bright world

Where each night there is less darkness

I dream of souls that are always free

Like the cloud that floats



In my fantasy exists a warm wind

That breathes into the city, like a friend

I dream of souls that are always free

Like the cloud that floats

B. B. KING lyrics - I Got To Leave This Woman

(B. B. King)



I got to leave this woman but I ain't got nowhere else to go

I got to leave this woman, I ain't got nowhere else to go

You see, she owns everything, including the carpet on the floor



When I was givin' her my money, she treated me like I was B. B. King

Hey, when I was givin' her my money, she treated me like I was B. B. King

Now I ain't got no money left, now she treats me, like I'm not even a human bein'



I got to leave this woman, I can't take this kind of treatment no more

Got to leave this woman, I can't take this kind of treatment no more

I've got one big problem, I ain't got nowhere to go



Hey, all the pretty furniture she got, I even bought her a mink coat too

Yeah, all the furniture she got, I even bought her that mink coat too

Now that we've got a divorce, that's what she put me through



I got to leave this woman but I ain't got nowhere else to go

I got to leave this woman, can't take this kind of treatment no more

She owns everything, even the carpet on the floor

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Fat Cat

Another song of Woe

Woe sounds like this

You say nothing's changed

Where were you when my world

Was spinning into masquerade

You claim it's just a question of mathematics

I shut the door on your amateur dramatics

Then you think too much

And you talk too much, vicariously

Yeah you think too much

And you talk too much

Every word is substance free

You're the dirt on my collar

You're the hole in my favourite shoe

You're the last dying breath of love

You're the weight that I need to lose

And you hurt yourself

You say I'm deranged

I'll admit to being strange

But I just can't stop loving you

If the light in your eyes

Addiction came as a surprise

Didn't think I'd be so into you

Then you think too much

And you talk too much

so carelessly

Yeah you think too much

And you talk too much

Every word is substance free

You're the dirt on my collar

You're the hole in my favourite shoe

You're the last sighing breath of love

You're the weight that I need to lose

You're the dirt on my collar

You're the hole in my favourite shoe

You're the last - last dying breath of love

You're the weight that I need to lose

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Time Goes By

I saw a million people cry

I heard so little laughter

Tasted so many tears of mine

Still didn't feel good after

Sometimes I just wish

To turn back time

But if I could there is no world

No world that I just want to see

In my mind And time goes by

Passing by my eyes

And I still wait here for better

Time goes by

Deaf to pain and cries

And I still wait here for better

For better

Forever

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Bip Bop

Bip bop, bip bip bop

Bip bop, bip bip band



Dig your bottom dollar

put it in your hand



Try to hang out

underneath the stand



Put your hands together

gonna see a band



Treat me like a good boy

Treat me like a man



Take me hair and curlers

But treat me like a man

THE CLASH lyrics - What's My Name

(Strummer/Jones/Levene)



What the hell is wrong with me? I'm not who I want to be

I tired spot cream an' I tried it all I'm crawling up the wall!



What's my name naaaame...naaaame....naaaame....



I tried to join a ping-pong club, sign on the door said all full up!

I got nicked, fighting in the road an' the judge didn't even know



What's my name



Dad go pissed so I got clocked

Couldn't hear the Tannoy so he lost the lot

Offers Mum a bribe through the letter box

Drives you fucking mad



What's my name



Now I'm round the back of your house at night

Peeping in the window - are you sleeping tight?

I laugh at your locks with my celloid strip

An' you won't know who came



What's my name

THE EAGLES lyrics - Twenty-One

Twenty-one and strong as I can be

I know what freedom means to me

And I can't give the reason why

I should ever want to die

Got no cause to be afraid

Or fear that life will ever fade

'Cause as I watch the rising sun

I know that we have just begun



I might spend my life upon the road

Just tryin' to add to what I know

Then someday I might settle down

And all my friends will be around



They say a man should have a stock and trade

But me, I'll find another way

I believe in getting what you can

And there ain't no stoppin' this young man



Because I'm you and fast as I can be

I know what freedom means to me

And I can't give the reason why,

I should ever want to die

No I can't give the reason why

I should ever want to die

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Cold Seat

I put my money in a suitcase

And headed for the big race

I felt a chill on my backbone

As I hung up the telephone



Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat

Running down the back of my neck

To lose means trouble, to win pays double

And I got me a heavy bet



Cold, cold sweat



They say chances on the outside

Are looking pretty slim

I feel so lucky on the inside

I feel I'm gonna to win



Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat

Running down the back of my neck

Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose

And I got me a heavy bet



Cold, cold sweat



I've got me a whole month's wages

I haven't seen that much in ages

I might spend it in stages

And move out to las vegas



Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat

Running down the back of my neck

To lose means trouble, to win pays double

And I got me a heavy bet



Cold, cold sweat



I put my money in a suitcase

They say chances on the outside

I got a whole months wages



Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat

Stone cold crazy

Place another bet

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Shake A Hand

(Morris)



Just leave it to me, now don't you ever be changed,

just give me a chance and I'll take care of everything.

Your troubles I share, I'll let you know when I'll be there.

I'll take care, take care of you, any place and everywhere.

Shake a hand, shake a hand, a-shake a hand if you can.

Shake a hand, shake a hand, shake a hand if you can.



Be truthful to me and I'll be truthful to you.

But I'm in love, I'm in love with your soul, and I don't now just what to do.

So let's call it a day, I've said all I've gotta say

except, oh yeah, baby, you gotta learn how to pray and shake a hand every day.



Be truthful to me and I'll be truthful to you.

But I'm in love, I'm in love with your soul, and I don't now just what to do.

So shake a hand, shake a hand, shake a hand if you can.

Shake a hand, shake a hand, shake a hand if you can.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Sweet Talkin' Woman

WHERE DID YOU GO?



I was searchin' SEARCHIN' on a one-way street,

I was hopin' HOPIN' for a chance to meet.

I was waitin' for the operator on the line.



SHE'S GONE SO LONG What can I do?

WHERE COULD SHE BE? No no no,

You gotta slow down SLOW DOWN sweet talkin' woman SLOW DOWN

You got me runnin' RUN RUN you got me searchin'.

Hold on HOLD ON sweet talkin' lover HOLD ON

It's so sad if that's the way it's over.



I was WALKIN' many days go by,

Communication breakdown all around.

WHERE COULD SHE BE? No no no,

You gotta slow down SLOW DOWN sweet talkin' woman SLOW DOWN

You got me runnin' RUN RUN you got me searchin'.

It's so sad if that's the way it's over.



I've been livin' LIVIN' on a dead end street,

I've been askin' ASKIN' KINDLY everybody I meet.

Insufficient data coming through.



SHE'S GONE SO LONG What can I do?

WHERE COULD SHE BE? No no no,

don't know what I'm gonna do,

I gotta get back to you.



Oh, slow down SLOW DOWN sweet talkin' woman SLOW DOWN

Slow down SLOW DOWN sweet talkin' woman SLOW DOWN

You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.

Hold on HOLD ON sweet talkin' lover HOLD ON

It's so sad if that's the way it's over. (repeat & fade out)

MIKE OLDFIELD lyrics - Poison Arrows

Silence in the air.

Is anybody there?

Searching every sound.

Walking on quiet ground



[ Chorus ]



Somebody's out to get you!

Hiding in shadows - poison arrows.

Somebody's out to break you!

Hiding in narrows - Poison arrows



When you gonna break?

Watching every move you make

And everything you do,

Evil eyes'll be on you.



[ Repeat Chorus ]



Don't give in, don't come any closer,

No sir!

Keep running, coming in closer,

Closer.



Don't give in, don't come any closer,

No sir!

Keep running, coming in closer,

Closer.



What you gonna do?

Time is running out on you.

Anywhere you choose,

Anyway, you're gonna lose.



[ Repeat Chorus ]



[ Repeat Chorus ]



Sombody's out to get you.

HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Howlin' For My Baby

(Willie Dixon)



Hmm-hmm, pretty baby, heeheeheehee

Heeheeheehee, come on home, I love you

If you hear me howlin', calling on my darlin'

Hoo hoo hoo whoe



She's hot like red pepper, sweet like cherry wine

I'm so glad she love me, love me all the time

She's my little baby, sweet as she can be

All this love she got, do belongs to me

If you hear me howlin', calling on my darlin'

Hoo hoo hoo whoe



Heeheeheehee, my baby, come on home

I love you, come on home

If you hear me howlin', calling on my darlin'

Hoo hoo hoo whoe



Every time she kiss me, she makes the lights go out

From early in the morning, she makes me jump and shout

This bad love she got, makes me laugh and cry

Makes me really know, that I'm too young to die

If you hear me howlin', calling on my darlin'

Hoo hoo hoo whoe



Heeheeheehee, come on, I love you

Pretty baby

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Isn't It A Pity?

It's a funny thing.

I look at you.

I get a thrill

I never knew.

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?

Here we are at last.

It's like a dream.

The two of us

A perfect team.

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?



Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted.

Me with the neighbors.

You at silly labors.

What joys untasted.

My nights were sour,

Spent with Schopenhauer



Let's forget the past.

Let's both agree

That I'm for you

And you're for me.

And it's such a pity

We never, never met before.



Imagine all the years we've wasted.

Fishing for salmon

Losing at backgammon.

What joys untasted.

Me at the Prado,

You in Colorado.



Happiest of girls I'm sure to be

If only you would say to me

That it's such a pity

We never met before.

What an awful pity

We never, never met before.

CAROLE KING lyrics - High Out Of Time

High out of time

I wish the years away

Look into your eyes

And you look into mine

All my sorrows disappear

When I'm high out of time



High out of time

Is a place I like to be

I'm a part of you

And you're a part of me

And I can hold you near

When I'm high out of time



No use wondering where the years have gone

Time waits for no one, we all have to go on

But every now and then I look up an old friend

And come home to someplace I used to belong



High out of time

The world becomes so new

Horizons that we've crossed

I cross again with you

Traveling through the years

When I'm high out of time

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - The Music Of Christmas

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



There's a man who stands in the cold wind tonight,

And he greets everyone passing by

With a smile and a ringing bell

And the song that he's playing, is his own way of saying

Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.



And there's a lady who sits all alone with her thoughts,

And the memories of all that she's lost,

When she hears a sound at her door,

And a song comes to find her, as a gentle reminder

Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.



[Chorus:]

So listen, listen with your heart

And you will hear a song in the laughter of a child.

Oh won't you listen for the sound of hope,

And you will hear the music of Christmas,

For the music of Christmas is love

Oh, its love.



So light the fire, tell the family to gather around,

And the walls will echo the sound

Of memories that are and will be

And their voices, like a chorus, will sing it so sweetly for us

Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.



[Chorus]



Long ago, a baby was born in the night,

And as He let out His very first cry,

The sound was bringing hope alive.

Stars were shining, angels singing

All heaven and earth was ringing

Love is here, this is the music of Christmas.



[Chorus]

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Then The Heartaches Begin

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)



My sadness it is growing

I'm sure it's started showing

This feeling's getting stronger

I can't hold back out much longer

It's swelling deep inside

Emotions I can't hide



[Chorus:]

Then the heartaches begin

I'm telling you

The heartaches begin



I need someone to guide me

Someone to reconcile me

To take away this pain

Before it starts again

But no one listens to me

Can't control what's set in deeply



[Chorus]



Four stone walls surround me

An empty shell's all you see

My former self's departed

A man who's broken hearted

Loneliness is what I fear

Holding on to all that's dear



[Chorus]



I'm telling you child

CROSBY, PEVAR & RAYMOND lyrics - Coyote King

(David Crosby, Jan Crosby, Jeff Pevar, James Raymond, Steve DiStanislao, Andrew Ford)



[Intro. (Drums and Acoustic Guitar)]



A crowded field of wildflowers

They turn to face the knowing day

Sentries of the secrets that lie beneath the colored clay

Secrets of the Coyote King

This river of blood has washed away

The dreams of a million sons and daughters

They spill into the hungry sea

They spill into the night

Lost their fame and fortune to the Coyote King

He'll lead us through the canyons

Deliver us to Eden

Grease the clasped hands standing

In the way of freedom

A lighthouse throwing blinding lies across an angry sea

We never saw the eyes of the Coyote King



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]



He'll lead us through the canyons

Deliver us to Eden

Grease the clasped hands standing

In the way of freedom

A lighthouse throwing blinding lies across an angry sea

We never saw the eyes of the Coyote King

Of the Coyote King

Of the Coyote King

Of the Coyote King



[Ending (Piano)]

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Go There With You

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[Eph 5:25-31]



I know you've heard me say these words before

But every time I say I love you the words mean something more

I spoke them as a promise right from the start

I said death would be the only thing that could tear us apart

And now that you are standing on the edge of the unknown

I love you means I'll be with you wherever you must go



[Chorus:]

I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone

And fill it up with you - make all your joy and pain my own

No matter how deep a valley you go through

I will go there with you

And I will give myself to love the way Love gave itself for me

And climb with you to mountaintops or swim a raging sea

To the place where one heart is made from two

I will go there with you



I see it in your tears - you wonder where you are

The wind is growing colder and the sky is growing dark

Though it's something neither of us understands

We can walk through this together if we hold each other's hand

I said for better or worse I'd be with you

So no matter where you're going I will go there too



[Chorus:]

I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone

And fill it up with you - make all your joy and pain my own

No matter how deep a valley you go through

I will go there with you



[Bridge:]

I known sometimes I let you down

But I won't let you go - we'll always be together

GLENN HUGHES AND JOE LYNN TURNER lyrics - Going My Way

Bad luck and trouble

Always following me



Black rain was falling

That's all I could see



I used to think that the dream was reality



Those days are gone now

I'm where I wanna be, I wanna be



No more mountains to climb

No more runnin' down the lost highway

I found my place in time

The sun is shining on me, everyday

It's going my way



Falling from grace

How did I let myself go?



Tell me, what did it take

For me to know, for me to know



I used to think that the dream was reality



Those days are gone now

I'm where I wanna be, I wanna be



[Chorus]

STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Let Me Count The Ways

Let me count the ways I love you babe

You don't know what you do

I'm a mess without your love baby blue



You were the only one I ever loved

You know I owe you every time

You were the first one to believe in me

And that's before I had a dime

I'm a mess without your love baby blue



As I walk by along the waterfront

With all my clothes soaked wet through

Let me count the ways I love you babe

I'm a mess without your love baby blue

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Hawaiian Wedding Song

(King - Hoffman - Manning)



This is the moment

I've waited for

I can hear my heart singing

Soon bells will be ringing



This is the moment

Of sweet Aloha

I will love you longer than forever

Promise me that you will leave me never



Here and now dear,

All my love,

I vow dear

Promise me that you will leave me never

I will love you longer than forever



U-a, si-la

Pa-a ia me o-e

Ko a-lo-ha ma-ka-mea e i-po

Ka-'u ia e le-i a-e ne-i la



Now that we are one

Clouds won't hide the sun

Blue skies of Hawaii smile

On this, our wedding day

I do love you with all my heart

THE CHURCH lyrics - Espionage

An autumn afternoon

Spent in the Secret City

These final chapters should have

Been left out of the story



In the apartment

The atmosphere hovers heavy

Zip up my black suede boots

I am almost ready



The hidden cameras

Function so discretely

As your images refract

(She) acted sad, sweetly



Loving you is easy

Especially espionage



Counterpoint agents

Suave and debonair

Leather shoulder holsters

And your breasts are bare



Adriatic hotel rooms

Smell of cordite and cologne

Systematic killer

From the Interzone



The Daimler's parked outside

Ready for your departure

Naturally we'll deny you

If you should be captured



Loving you is easy

Especially espionage



The double-crossed, the Doublethink

Got you doublegazed

Got you out of trouble

Back in Budapest



Something in the shadows

A blurry, grainy face

Can't hold on for long enough

So I can get a trace



I love it when you're naked

But for camouflage

Loving you is easy

Especially espionage

W. A.S. P. lyrics - Somebody To Love

[Originally performed by Jefferson Airplane]



When the truth is found to be lies

You know the joy within you dies



Don't you want somebody to love

Don't you need somebody to love

Wouldn't you love somebody to love

You Better find someone to love



Find somebody to love

Find somebody to love

Find somebody to love



When the dawn is rose, they are dead

Yes and you're mine, you're so full of red



Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his

Yeah, but in your head, baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is



Tears are running

Running along down your breast

And your friends baby

They treat you like a guest

WHITESNAKE lyrics - Lonely Days, Lonely Nights

(David Coverdale)



I've been burning my bridges

For too many years,

Drowning the sorrow

Of too many tears

Women and whiskey

Are my only friends,

One gives me strength,

One just pretends



I've been waiting my whole life

For things to work out right,

But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights

Yes, It do



I've heard all the wisdom

Of prophets and seers,

It don't soothe my passion

And it don't ease my fears

Burned by love

And blinded by snow,

Bad luck and trouble

Are with me wherever I go



I've been waiting my whole life

For things to work out right,

But those lonely days turn into lonely nights

Lonely days, lonely nights,

Lonely days, lonely nights



Lonely days, lonely nights,

Someday babe, it's gonna be alright

Lonely days, lonely nights,

Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me



Lonely days, lonely nights,

Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...

CHER lyrics - I Threw It All Away

I once held him in my arms

He said he would always stay

But I was cruel

I treated him like a fool

Don't you know I threw it all away



Once I had mountains

In the palm of my hand

And rivers that ran through everyday

I must have been mad

I never knew what I had

Until I threw it all away

Until I threw it all away



Love is all there is

It makes the world go around

Love and only love

It can't be deny

No matter what you think about it

You can't do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried



So if you find someone

Gives you all his love

Take it to your heart

Don't let it stray

Ah one thing's for certain

You're surely gonna be hurtin'

If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - We Got The Beef

Had ourselves a little barbeque

Corn on the cob and mashed potatoes too

Joe got the Fritos, Ernie got the stew

So what did you bring



We got the beef

We got the beef

We got the beef

Yeah, we got it



(We got the beef)

Now, everybody get on your feet (we got the beef)

Grab a hunk of??? beef (we got the beef)

Chuck daddy (we got the beef)

Now, ground round by the pound



We got the beef (we got the beef)

We got the beef (we got the beef, we got the beef)

We got the beef (we got the beef, we got the)

We got the beef

LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - What Is And What Should Never Be

And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me.

It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be.



[Chorus]

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.

But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show

That you will be mine, by takin' our time.



And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.

Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.



[Chorus]



So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,

And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.



[Chorus]



Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show.

Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna...sail, little girl

do do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah.

Everybody I know seems to know me well

but they're never gonna know that I move like hell.

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - "Thank You, Kind Sir!" Said She

[1st verse:]

Crowded thoroughfare, people here and there

Dashing up the Avenue

Maiden young and shy, quickly passing by

Something comes in contact with her shoe

Someone's fallen down, slipped upon the ground

It happens on a slipp'ry street

Kind young gent who saw the accident

Helps the charming lady to her feet



[Refrain:]

"Thank you, kind sir," said she

"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he

"May I not escort you home?"

"You may not, I'll go alone

I've a husband," said she

"And I've a wife, Miss," said he

"You needn't call me up," said she

"My phone is one, two, three"

"Thank you," said he



[2nd verse:]

Scene, a near cafe, couple chatting gay

Same young maiden shy and sweet

On the he-male end sits her fellow friend

Same young man who helped her to her feet

Maiden softly speaks, "I've been sad for weeks

My darling husband failed last year

I'm in debt right up to here, you bet"

Fellow whispers something in her ear



[2nd refrain:]

"Thank you, kind sir," said she

"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he

"May I not escort you home?

I would hate to go alone"

"I live here, sir," said she

"And so do I, Miss," said he

"Don't dare to call me," said she

"I'm always in at three"

"Thank you," said he

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Bringin' On The Heartbreak

Gypsy, sittin lookin pretty

A broken rose and laughin' eyes

You're a mystery

Always runnin' wild

Like a child without a home

You're always searchin'

Searchin for a feelin'

But it's easy come and easy go



Oh

I'm sorry but it's true

You're bringin' on the heartache

Takin all the best of me

Oh can't you see

You got the best of me

Whoah can't you see



You're bringin' on the heartbreak

Bringin' on the heartache

You're bringin' on the heartache

Bringin' on the heartache

Can't you see

Oh



You're such a secret

Misty eyed and shady

Baby, how you hold the key

Oh, you're like a candle

Your flame slowly fadin'

Burnin' out and burnin' me

Can't you see

Just tryin' to say to you



You're bringin' on the heartache

Takin all the best of me

Oh can't you see

You got the best of me

Oh can't you see



You're bringin' on the heartbreak

Bringin' on the heartache

You're bringin' on the heartache

Bringin' on the heartache

Can't you see

Can't you see



No

No

No



You got the best of me

Oh can't you see

You got the best of me

Oh can't you see

You're bringin on the heartbreak

Bringin' on the heartache



You're bringin on the heartbreak

You're bringin on the heartache

NEW ORDER lyrics - In A Lonely Place

Caressing the marble and stone

Love that was special for one

The waste and the fever and hate

How I wish you were here with me now



The body that kills and hides

Matches an awful delight

Warm like a dog `round your feet

How I wish you were here with me now



The hangman looks `round as he waits

Gullet stretches tight and it breaks

Someday we will die in your dreams

How I wish we were here with you now

TESLA lyrics - Only You

In a world far from perfect

It's not always easy to connect

Where everything can be so complicated

I know that "simply, you're the best"



I don't want nobody else, I only want you

Wanna keep you for myself, it's selfish, but true

I don't want anything, to ever come between us

'Cause I don't want nobody else



In a world far from perfect...still

One never knows what to expect, so tell me

What will I do?

So hard to think of you as "dearly departed"

If only desperation could resurrect



'Cause I don't want nobody else, I only want you

Not some picture on a shelf, no...'cause that

Won't carry me through

How does debilitated, find the strength to

Make it through



'Cause I don't want nobody else, only you

Now I don't want nobody else, I only want you

And not some picture on a shelf, on no...

'Cause that won't carry me through

How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to

Make it through



'Cause I don't want nobody else,

I don't want nobody else,

Only you, only you...

ERIC BURDON lyrics - I Used To Be An Animal

(Jackson-Clark, Burdon, Bastow)



I want to tell you a story

Once upon a time

There were five young guys

Hanging in and out of Newcastle,

Playing Rhythm and Blues

They had nothing to lose

They didn't need that tin-pan hassle

Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born

Shocking the heart of the nation

Sign of the times

A new search in life

Start of a new rock generation



From day one to kingdom come

I'd do it all again

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)

But I'm all right now

All right now, baby



Twenty years ago we were children of war

But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat

There were rockers and mods,

We didn't take it too hard

We had blue suede shoes on our feet

A revolution in France and James Brown's dance

A new world coming our way

We'd talk that talk in the streets of New York

And never looked back to this day



From day one to the risin' sun

I'll do it all again

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)

But I'm all right now

All right, all right, all right

Yeah, yeah, all right, whoa baby



We were flippin' and trippin'

And rockin' and rollin'

And generally havin' a ball

For the price of a drink

There was no time to think about the morality of it all

There was freaks and queens and love-ins and has-beens

Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos

A psychedelic explosion in slow motion,

Dr Strangelove's bomb



From day one to the risin' sun

I'll do it all again (whoa, oh, oh)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)

But I'm all right now

All right, all right,

Yeah, yeah,

All right, all right,

I'm all right now...

HAWKWIND lyrics - Lost Chances

Crystal evenings, long ago,

Twisted winds and weeping snow

We missed a turning in the past,

Is there anything that can last

The race is run, the time is right,

Get out your gun it's time to fight

And all our dreams just turn to dust,

Look to the future forget the past

Mistakes you've made can't be redeemed,

They are made because you dreamed a dream

Honest sunsets turn to paint,

The lie you tell becomes a taint

The house you built reverts to dust,

The sword you held it turns to rust

The lies you tell destroy your will,

The price you paid you're paying still

And the rocks in the river grow higher and higher

As the water gets lower and lower

There are ghosts in our lives that will not fade

There are ghosts in our lives that will not fade,

Until we've paid

CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - Chuck's Lament

(David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Joe Vitale)



[Intro. (Synths)]



I think one drop of water in the ocean

Could be the one that sets a wave in motion

That roams around the world



I think one grain of sand upon the beach

Could be the one that lifts you high enough to reach

All around the world



Through the days of endless dreaming

All our lifelong games are played

Watching all the world before us

Waiting for the big parade



You and me, do we leave it to the children?

You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?

You and me, when we're standing and be counted

You and me, do we give it up or let it be?



In my nightmare I am dreaming

All my fears are here with me

I can't wait to find the answer

Face the future and let us be



You and me, do we leave it to the children?

You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?

You and me, when we're standing and be counted

You and me, do we give it up or let it be?



I can't wait to find the answer

Face the future and let us be

I can't wait to find the answer

Face the future and let us be

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - I'm In The Mood For Love

I'm in the mood for love

Simply because you're near me

Funny, but when you're near me

I'm in the mood for love



Heaven is in your eyes

Bright as the stars we're under

Oh, is it any wonder?

I'm in the mood for love



Why stop to think of whether

This little dream might fade?

Let's put our hearts together

Now we are one, I'm not afraid



If there's a cloud above

If it should rain, we'll let it

But for tonight forget it

I'm in the mood for love



Why stop to think of whether

This little dream might fade?

Let's put our hearts together

Now we are one, I'm not afraid



If there's a cloud above

If it should rain, we'll let it

But, for tonight, forget it

I'm in the mood for love

PAUL PENA lyrics - Jet Airliner

Can't see forty-two, just 'bout t'go insane

I've been down before

Ridin' along in this big jet plane

I've been thinkin' about jumpin' out the door

'Cause my home land is so far away

And I feel like it's all been done

Somebody's tryin' to make me stay

And I've got to be on the run



Oh big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay



I've been sitting by the fireside

Wonderin' where my strength is goin'

Looking through the (midlight?),

Tryin' to find out which way the wind is blowin'

But my heart keeps pushing me backwards

As I jump aboard that 747

Riding high, but with a tear in my eye

You got to go through hell before you get to heaven



Woah, big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay



Oh I know I will

I'm gonna leave on my own this time

Oh, yeah, yeah



Big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Big ol' jet airliner

Here that I've got to stay



Goodbye to all my friends at home

Goodbye to people I've trusted

I've got to go out and make my way

I might get rich you know I might get busted

But my heart keeps calling me backwards

As I get on the 707

Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes

You know you got to go through hell

Before you get to heaven



Big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner

Cause it's here that I've got to stay



Touchin' down in New England

Feel the heat comin' down

First thought is "Lord, I said I'd be there"

But I couldn't seem to quite get it down

'Cause I'm goin' with some hesitation

I've got to go and make my way

But there's so many people, Lord, to talk to

And a whole lotta debts to pay



Oh, big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay



Goodbye to old friends at home

Goodbye to willing friends I've trusted

I've got to go out and make my way

I might get rich and I might get busted

But I'm going, Lord, with so many things to clean up

I've got to make my way clear before me

But I don't want to get mixed up

In any of that funky shit that goin' down before me



Oooh, big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

('Cause it's California where I've got to stay [last time])

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Something There Is About You

Something there is about you that strikes a match in me

Is it the way your body moves or is it the way your hair blows free

Or is it because you remind me of something that used to be

Something that's crossed over from another century?



Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth

Rainy days on the Great Lakes, walking the hills of old Duluth

There was me and Danny Lopez, cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth

Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth.



Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings

Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things

I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath

But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.



Something there is about you that moves with style and grace

I was in a whirlwind, now I am in some better place

My hand's on the sabre and you've picked up on the baton

Something there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Ace In The Hole

[Chorus:]

You've got to have an ace in the hole.

A little secret that nobody knows.

Life is a gamble, a game we all play,

But you need to save something for a rainy day.

You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life.

Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.

You've got to have an ace in the hole.



If you're headed down a one way street.

And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go.

In money or love, or all the above,

Have a little more than what you show.



When life deals out a surprise

Have a few surprises of your own.

No matter what you do, no matter where you go

You've got to have an ace in the hole.



[Chorus]



Don't put it all on the line for just one roll

You've got to have an ace in the hole.

No matter what you do, no matter where you go

You've got to have an ace in the hole.

DAVID GILMOUR lyrics - A Great Day For Freedom

(Gilmour / Samson)



On the day the wall came down

They threw the locks onto the ground

And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

On the day the wall came down

The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground

Promises lit up the night light doves in flight



I dreamed you had left my side

No warmth, not even pride remained

And even though you needed me

It was clear that I could not do a thing for you



Not life devalues day by day

As friends and neighbors turn away

And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands

While nations wash their bloodied hands

Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey



I woke to the sound of drums

The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and I looked at you

And all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Night Comes Down

In the last rays of the setting sun

And the past days, that's where our

memories run

And all of those times

Still race through my mind

I'm shattered inside to find



When the night comes down

And I'm here all alone

When the night comes down

And there's no place to go



Call me and I'll wait till the summer

You never understood

Call me and I'll wait forever

For a love that's only good

As the light starts to dim

The fear closes in

And the nightmares begin



When the night comes down

And I'm here all alone

When the night comes down

And there's no place to go



Oh no you won't be there tomorrow

Oh no say it isn't true

Can't take this pain and sorrow

Oh can't you see my heart is broken in two

10CC lyrics - Listen With Your Eyes

I don't need no special things to get me high

All I needs a touch of Ron to get me by

I see people travelling, never make a move

I don't follow my leader, needles in the groove

I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar

People selling me heaven, praying to the sky

I don't read that message

Listen with your eyes

Listen with your eyes, tell me what, child

Listen with your eyes, oh lordy

You've had a hustling day

Your life's a roundabout anyway

I got my feet on the ground

That doesn't mean I don't get around

I get up on tops and down on Mr. Blue

I love to see a daybreak

It's not a chemical wide awake

I like a rub in the tub

I never want to pull out the plug

I get up on tops and down on Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue!

People search the dailies, live by horoscope

Looking for direction, don't they get the joke

I won't fear the reaper, when the curtain falls

I'm not vegetating, waiting for the call

I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar

Wake up to the future, you should make your plans

Dreams are made in heaven, life is in your hands

Life is in your hands, what you saying?

Life is in your hands, ooh, ooh, ooh

Life is in your hands

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Well, Well, Well

(Camp/ Gibson)



[Refrain:]

Well, Well, Well, Who's that callin'?

Well, Well, Well, Hold my hand.

Well, Well, Well, Night is a-fallin',

Spirit is a-movin' all over this land.



Lord told Noah, Build him an ark,

Build it out of hickory bark.

Old ark a-movin', and the water start to climb,

God send a fire, not a flood next time.



[Refrain]



God said fire comin' judgement day,

He said all mankind gonna pass away.

Brothers and sisters don't you know?

You're gonna reap just what you sow.



[Refrain]



World's not waitin' for the Lord's command,

Buildin' a fire that'll sweep the land.

Thunder out of heaven, comin' Gabriel's call;

And the sea's gonna boil and the sky's gonna fall.



[Refrain]

LOBO lyrics - Further From The Truth

(Joey Tempest / Kent LaVoie)



Messed around I'd had enough

Lost control I was all shook up

Yesterday was on my mind

When I came to you laid it on the line



Baby I was pushed right to the edge

What came over me I lost me head

If you think what I said was aimed at you

Well that couldn't be much further from the truth



Now baby you know how good you are

At bringing me back when things go too far

You're the last I want to do this to

But you're the first that I come to



I'll admit that I was wrong

I pushed too hard I came on too strong

If you think what I said was aimed at you

That couldn't be much further from the truth



I confess there's one thing baby I am guilty of

As much as I don't want to I hurt the one I love



I was pushed right to the edge

What came over me I lost my head

If you think what I said was aimed at you

Yes I'll admit that I was wrong

I pushed too hard I came on too strong

If you think what I said was aimed at you

That couldn't be much further

That couldn't be much further from the truth

SMOKIE lyrics - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

(A. Silson)



Walking in the rain, I can't believe the way I'm feeling;

Lonely once again, could it be that I'm still dreaming;

I thought I heard you talking,

But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking



Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

You left me broken hearted, before we got things started

Rain keeps falling, or so it seems

Down the boulevard of broken dreams,

Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that

Boulevard of broken dreams



Burning in my heart, tells me now that it's all over;

It's tearing me apart, feeling that I'm sinking over;

I thought I heard you talking,

But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking



Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

You left me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that

Boulevard of broken dreams.



Walking in the rain, can't believe what I am seeing;

Is it you again, oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming,

'Cause I can hear you talking, no more will I be walking





Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,

You left me broken hearted, before we got things started

Rain keeps falling, or so it seems

Down the boulevard of broken dreams,

Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that

Boulevard of broken dreams

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - When It Sings

All the words you say to me

Have music in them

All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism

And a selfish boy looks through a prism

And says what is

But never asks what isn't



But a voice contains many precious things

It laughs

And then it sings

And all the lies that we can tell

To our foolish selves



Maybe this is the love song that I refused to

Write her when I loved her like I used to

And I fear my heart may spin and fracture

Like tears of stone falling from a statue



But a voice contains all that's true and false

Then cries for someone else

And for some honest tenderness

So I must confess



All the words you say to me

Have music in them

All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism

And a selfish boy looks through a prism

And says what is

But never asks what isn't

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - This Hotel Room

This hotel room got a lot of stuff

A laundry bag and a shoe shine cloth

Thirty-two hangers and a touch-tone phone

Well a light that comes on when I'm not home

I ain't home, I ain't home

You better leave a message cause I ain't home



They got an air conditioner for when I'm hot

A radiator for when I'm not

Two big chairs sittin' side by side

With a Holy bible and a TV guide

TV guide, TV guide, great God o' mighty

It's a TV guide



I got a second story view from curb to curb

I got a sign that reads "Do not disturb"

A monogram towel and a bucket of ice

A chest of drawers and a mirror that lies

Mirror that lies, mirror that lies,

That couldn't be me in the gorilla disguise



They got a room service menu for food and drinks

A porcelain thrown and an aluminum sink

Two big pillows to rest my head

A magic fingers and a king size bed

Put in a quarter, turn out the light

Magic fingers makes you feel alright

Feel alright, feel alright

Magic fingers makes you feel alright



Oh this ole' hotel's alright with me

They pay the postage if you loose the key

This hotel has got a lot of stuff

But I do believe I have had enough

Call my baby said, don't you pout

I'm packin' my bags and I'm checking out

Just as soon as you hang up the telephone

Stick a candle in the window I'm comin' home

Comin' home, comin home

Stick a candle in the window, I'm comin' home

RICHARD MARX lyrics - If You Don't Want My Love

I know you have reservations

And you're just along for the ride

But I see a slight hesitation

What are you trying to hide

Don't be afraid to bare your soul



Nothing you say could be too bold

I'm growing old

If you don't want my love

Tell me now cause I'll survive

If you don't want my love

I'm sure that somebody does tonight

You make a grown man quiver

It might be hard to believe

But it's time to stand and deliver

You've just been playing with me

I don't want to blow my only chance



But you've got to show me where you stand

Or drop my hand

If you don't want my love

Tell me know cause I'll survive

If you don't want my love

It won't be the end of my life

If you don't want my love

Night will fall and the sun will rise

If you don't want my love

I'm sure that somebody does tonight

I don't want to blow my only chance



But you've got to show me where you stand

Or drop my hand

If you don't want my love

Tell me now cause I'll survive

If you don't want my love

It won't be the end of my life

If you don't want my love

Night will fall and sun will rise

If you don't want my love

I'm sure that somebody does tonight

If you don't want my love

Ain't gonna worry tonight

If you don't want my love

Well somebody does tonight

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Wolf In The Breast

Under my shirt, Have to amass

Sling the tainted words

I'm each arms they fall on

It's my body, Puzzles the trick in me

I lend it out to borrow, it might survive

My baby's cries

Laughing on my bed, I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when, I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

It's my body, Puzzles the trick in me

I lend it out to borrow, it might survive

My baby's cries

Laughing on my bed

I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when

I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

I'll feel perpetual

I feel perpetual

I feel perpetual



True blue and real

I feel, I feel

True blue and real

Laughing on my bed

I've pretended I knew the way

Especially when

I'll revenge, all I'll need's that day

I'll feel perpetual, I feel perpetual

I'll feel perpetual

True and real

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket

[1st verse:]

I've been a roaming Romeo

My Juliets have been many

But now my roaming days have gone

Too many irons in the fire

Is worse than not having any

I've had my share and from now on:



[Refrain:]

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket

I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you



I'm giving all my love to one baby

Heaven help me if my baby don't come through



I've got a great big amount

Saved up in my love account

Honey

And I've decided

Love divided

In two

Won't do

So



I'm putting all my eggs in one basket

I'm betting everything I've got on you



[2nd verse:]

I've been a roaming Juliet

My Romeos have been many

But now my roaming days have gone

Too many irons in the fire

Is worse than not having any

I've had my share and from now on:



[2nd refrain:]

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket

I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you



I'm giving all my love to one baby

Heaven help me if my baby don't come through



I've tried to love more than one

Finding it just can't be done

Honey

There's one I lie to

When I try to

Be true

To two

So



I'm putting all my eggs in one basket

I'm betting everything I've got on you

CHICAGO lyrics - Critic's Choice

(Robert Lamm)



What do you want

What do you want

I'm givin' everything I have

I'm even trying to see if there's more

Locked deep inside

I'll try

I'll try

Can't you see, this is me

What do you need

What do you need

Is someone just to hurt

So that you can appear to be smart

And use a steady job

Play God

Play God

What to you really know

You parasite

You're dynamite

An oversight

Misunderstanding what you hear

You're quick to cheer

And volunteer

Absurdities, musicals, blasphemies

Oh Lord

Save us all

What do you want

What do you want

I'm givin' every thing I have

I'm even trying to see if there's more

Locked deep inside

I'll try

I'll try

Can't you see, this is me

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Hellhound On My Trail

(Robert Johnson)



I got to keep moving, I got to keep moving

Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail

Mmm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail

And the day keeps on remindin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail

Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail



If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve

And tomorrow was Christmas day

If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day

All I would need is my little sweet rider

Just to pass the time away, to pass the time away



You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm, around my door

All around my door

You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door

It keeps me with ramblin' mind rider

Every old place I go, every old place I go



I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree

Tremblin' on the tree

I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree

All I need is my little sweet woman

And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey, hey, my company

JOHN DENVER lyrics - The Love Of Common People

(Hurley/Wilkins)



Living on free food tickets. Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

where the rain came through, what can we do? Mmm.

Tears from your baby sister, crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress

Without a patch for the party to go, oh but you know she'll get by,

Because she's living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.



It's a good thing you don't have bus-fare, it would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground, walking to the town to find a job.

Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

and it chills to the bone. Boy you better go home where it's warm.

And you can live in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.



Living on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit, the tighter the fit

and the chills stay away, you take them in stride, family pride.

You know, faith is your foundation, with a whole lot of love

and a warm conversation and many a prayer, making you strong where you belong.

Living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

Living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Rexroth's Daughter

(Greg Brown)



Coldest night of the winter working up my farewell

In the middle of everything under no particular spell

I am dreaming of the mountains where the children learn the stars

Clouds roll in from nebraska dark chords on a big guitar

My restlessness is long gone I would stand here like an old jack pine

But I'm looking for rexroth's daughter the friend of a friend of mine



I can't believe your hands and mouth did all that to me

Are so daily naked for all the world to see

That thunderstorm in michigan I never will forget

We shook right with the thunder & with the pounding rain got wet

Where did you turn when you turned from me with your arms across your chest

I am looking for rexroth's daughter I saw her in the great northwest



Would she have said it was the wrong time if I had found her then

I don't want too much a field across the road and a few good friends

She used to come & see me but she was always there & gone

Even the very longest love does not last too long

She'd stand there in my doorway smoothing out her dress

& say "this life is a thump-ripe melon--so sweet and such a mess"



I wanted to get to know you but you said you were shy

I would have followed you anywhere but hello rolled into goodbye

I just stood there watching as you walked along the fence

Beware of them that look at you as an experience

You're back out on the highway with your poems of city heat

& I'm looking for rexroth's daughter here on my own side street



The murderer who lived next door seemed like such a normal guy--

If you try to follow what they shove at us you run out of tears to cry

I heard a man speak quietly I listened for a while

He spoke from his heart to my woe & then he bowed & smiled

What is real but compassion as we move from birth to death

I am looking for rexroth's daughter & I'm running out of breath



Spring will come back I know it will & it will do its best

So useful so endangered like a lion or a breast

I think about my children when I look at any child's face

& pray that we will find a way to get with all this amazing grace

It's so cold out there tonight so stormy I can hardly see

& I'm looking for rexroth's daughter & I guess I always will be

THE HOLLIES lyrics - I Won't Move Over

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)



Say what you want, think what you like

You won't persuade me

My flame will keep on burning I know it's not over



My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear

All those stories

Going in circles, circulating

That it's over



She gave to me, I gave to her

A token of our love

On the understanding that we'd give them back

As a message that we're through



I still got mine and I ain't go hers

That's how I know for sure

No need to say no more

I don't wanna hear no more



[Chorus:]

Your move was a loser and she won't forget

How you used her

Oh, I know she'll refuse you

You're a two-timing loser

And I won't move over



[Verse 3]



[Verse 4]



Say what you want and think what you like

You won't persuade me

My flame keeps on burning and I won't move over



My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear

All those stories

Going in circles



[Chorus]

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Echoes In The Dark

(Hensley)



I have heard the echoes in the dark

Dim and distant voices of the past

And I've seen so far into the night

And lingered in the land of no light.



Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn

Through the mist of daybreak I was born

But the day was clouded still by night

Leaving me in the land of no light.



Though I'd love to

Say hello to you

You might have to wait a while to say

Goodbye

For it must end as it began

And then start again.



The day of darkness comes to every man

And lingers while he reaches out his hand

And he cannot know how it will end

Till he finds out if he has a friend...

A friend...

A friend...

A friend.

CHICAGO lyrics - One From The Heart

I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change

I never have time to think of words I want to say

I look around me, I don't know who really knows

What does it matter anyway?

Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone

And somedays I feel so alone

When nobody sees what's going on anymore

If I could just know that someone's there

One from the heart that's all it takes

One to hold you, one who knows you

One to one together

One from the heart, one for each day

One to lean on, one to keep on

Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face

It's never too late to get to where I want to go

It's never too late to get to love someone

All that I need is to be more than yesterday

And all I can give along the way

One from the heart that's all it takes

One to hold you, one who knows you

One to one together

One from the heart, one for each day

One to lean on, on to keep on

The words you will remember

The words you'll hear me say

It's all about the love

It's all about the give
