LOS LOBOS lyrics - Let's Say Goodnight

(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)



If I say yes, I'm sure you'll say no

If I say stop I know you'll say go

What seems to be the problem here

Is you and me, 'cause we just can't agree

So let's just say goodnight and go home



You're always right, and I have never

Been wrong. The way we are it's getting

Harder to hang on.

But who's to blame, when two things are

Never the same, it's not people

That change, it's maybe living from day to day



What can I say, the Lord just made us this way

What can I do you know what I've been thru.

It's just this world, it makes it hard for

A guy and girl, but we could give it a whirl,

So let's just say goodnight and go home.

ACCEPT lyrics - Stone Evil

They terrorize and

tyrannize democracies

Their narrow minds still nothing

learned from history

The seeds of hate acquired from

their ancestry

Spreading like a cancer in societies



They've got the poison inside

Rivers of pesticide

Skin-headed minions -

they're deaf, dumb and blind

Machind-like in body - robotic in mind



Stone evil - inherited sin

Stone evil - infected from within



They can't leave it -

they can't break the spell

Under orders to obey

It was meant to last a thousand years

It took the world into dismay



Stone evil - stone evil



If you're gonna throw the torch at us

Don't expect to not get burned

It's time to stand - and fight the right

This is the lesson we have learned



They're marching to a different beat and glorify

The darkest times when innocent were crucified

They paralize and sterilize the masses' minds

They desecrate man's dignity - desensitize



They've got the poison inside

Rivers of pesticide

Skin-headed minions - they're deaf, dumb and blind

Machine-like in body - robotic in mind - evil



Stone evil - inherited sin

Stone evil - infected from within

Stone evil - inherited sin

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Three Flights Up

(Frank Christian)



We returned to that five room flat

Now it was empty and this the last time

There were blinking pictures

Of how we'd sit and chat

Some of them are scattered

Others shattered in my mind



[Chorus:]

It was always three flights up

Cathedral bells kept time



In the winter, a-chatterin' cold

While the building shook like ragweed in the wind

Stories from the heat pipes

We were told

But now they only leave me

With a half enchanted grin



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view

And towels warmed on oven doors

To not freeze

Was the only thing to do



I wonder if we kept to the fair warning

'Cause I can see it in the flowers

Dyin' on the window sill

I know we must be out by tomorrow mornin'

But am I goin' 'gainst my will



[Chorus]



[Bridge]



[Repeat last verse]



[Chorus]

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - She Looks To Me

Looks to me like heaven sent

No lullaby kid no 5%



Any way you want to cut that cake

She's dyin' from the likes of abandonment



Lost in the valley without my horses

She need somebody to hold



It looks to me like heaven

Sent this for your roughest night

She looks to me

She looks to me all right



Who's going to take you home

And hold you when things aren't so bright

She looks to me

She looks to me all right



It's a long walk down those tracks

It's a dirty walk in

It's a dirty walk back

Gonna learn awe way too much

Shootin' dope in the back

Of a cadillac jack



Slow down the road to my back 40

She needs somebody to hold



Down in the south seas

Give me your mouth please

Resuscitation

Is the way I find these

I give you major

You give me minor

Don't fade away

Like an ocean liner

Now



Lost in the valley

Without my horses

No one can tell me

What my remorse is



God made this lady

That stands before me

She need somebody to hold



She shows the world up with a smile

And then she throws the fight

She looks to me she looks to me

All right



Down on the bathroom floor

She's searching for another light

She looks to me she looks to me

All right

IGGY POP lyrics - Tuff Baby

Psst, psst, hey girl

Just come here, come on, come here



I love your hair

Your pearly smile

Your icing scan

Society's vile

Insect cars

Horny men from Mars

I love you, tuff baby

I love you, tuff baby



You've know the score

For a while now

Your dad don't care

Your mom's aware

Your hands are new

I wonder what they'll do

I love you, tuff baby

I love you, tuff baby



There's chaos in the old suburbs

And downtown too they got the blues

But you'll survive

With a hard glint in your eyes

I love you, tuff baby

I love you, tuff baby

I love you

I love you, tuff baby

I love you, tuff baby

I love you, tuff baby

DEMON lyrics - Cold In The Air

(Dave Hill-Mal Spooner)



Through the cold in the air

I breathe the fear you're feeling

Break free catch up with them now

Of course I was the best in my day

Built to survive

You've turned out that way

TOM JONES lyrics - What You Been Missing

Forget about the past

You won't regret it

So come on back to your lover-man, your lover-man, babe

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Where Or When

It seems we stood here

And take like this before

We look at each other

In the same old way

But I can't remember

Where or when



The clothes you're wearing

Are the clothes you wore

The smile you're smiling

You where smiling then

I can't remember where or when



Something's that happened for the first time

Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before

And laugh before and loved before

But who knows where or when



Something's that happened for the first time

Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before

And laugh before and loved before

But who knows where or when

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Finale: What's This We Hear?

[Louisianans:]

What's this we hear?

Please make it clear

Are we to understand a wedding is near?



[Jim?:]

Congratulations are in order

She's in love and her heart is gone



[Marina:]

I met a wonderful man

That's how it began



[Louisianans:]

Proving sex, S-E-X, marches on



[Loganberry:]

I don't know just what happened in that private dining room

I entered as a Senator and came out as a groom



[Marina:]

We were two lonely hearts beating as one



[Loganberry:]

Being mis'rable is oh! such a lot of fun



[Jim:]

I hate the lies you told to me

The bill of goods you sold to me

I hate the things that make you untrue

I hate your last goodbye, I honest I do



[Marina:]

Outside of that, I love you



[Loganberry:]

Ev'rybody drink with me, drink with me

Under the table come sink with me

Very happy am I

And I wish I knew why



[Louisianans:]

We'll be glad to drink with you, drink with you



[Jim?:]

A toast to the bride and groom



[Louisianans:]

Louisiana purchase, I'll tell you what it means

It means I'd like to sell you New Orleans

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Thought It Would Be Easier

(Shelby Lynne and Bill Botrell)



I always thought is would be easier

After you were gone

Thought I could pull myself together

And do fine on my my own

Sometimes I do alright then I remember

How I dreamed it, how I needed it

I thought it would be easier

I thought it would be easier



They never told me I'd be lonely,

Torn up and wasted

But when you saw something

Else you liked

You couldn't wait to taste it

How was I to know about the way

You were scheming

I guess I must have been dreaming

I thought it would be easier

I thought it would be easier



I found that old shirt you used to wear

And it really brought me down

Ooh does she like blue like I do

I bet she gets around

All I know today is that I,

I can't stand it

This ain't how I planned it

I thought it would be easier

I thought it would be easier

CONNIE FRANCIS lyrics - Frankie

[Spoken:]

Frankie, wherever you are

I love you



Though you've found a new love

I still miss you so

I just can't forget you

But you'll never know

Frankie, my darling

I'll never let you see me cry



Once I was your sweetheart

Now I'm just a friend

Once you really loved me

Now I just pretend

Frankie, my darling

I'll never let you see me cry



Oh, Frankie

I'd rather hide these teardrops

Deep down inside

I'm crying

But you'll never see

I'd rather cry than have you pity me



Though my nights are lonely

Since we've been apart

I'll always keep this secret

Deep within my heart

Frankie, my darling

I'll never let you see me cry



[Spoken:]

Frankie, wherever you are

I love you

SYD BARRETT lyrics - Baby Lemonade

(Barrett)



In the sad town

Cold iron hands clap

The party of clowns outside

Rain falls in gray far away

Please, please, Baby Lemonade



In the evening sun going down

When the earth streams in, in the morning

Send a cage through the post

Make your name like a ghost

Please, please, Baby Lemonade



I'm screaming, I met you this way

You're nice to me like ice

In the clock they sent through a washing machine

Come around, make it soon, so alone...

Please, please, Baby Lemonade



In the sad town

Cold iron hands clap

The party of clowns outside

Rain falls in gray far away

Please, please, Baby Lemonade



In the evening sun going down

When the earth streams in, in the morning

Send a cage through the post

Make your name like a ghost

Please, please, Baby Lemonade

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - All Around The World

All around the world

Let's go all around the world

All around the world

Take me all around the world

Give me joy, give me love

Take it all around the world



So much love, love is real

So much life, life is what you feel

It's in your mind, it's in your heart and soul

The time is right, you've just got to know

It's time to let go



All around the world

Let's go all around the world

All around the world

Take me all around the world

Give me joy, give me love

Take it all around the world

I said all around the world

Let's go all around the world



Make a wish, dreams come true

Follow your heart, it is only for you

It's crazy, it's a crazy world

Come to the music, come lose your mind

Follow the rhythm, don't get left behind

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Seven Curses

(Bob Dylan)



Old Reilly stole a stallion

But they caught him and they brought him back

And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground

With an iron chain around his neck.



Old Reilly's daughter got a message

That her father was goin' to hang.

She rode by night and came by morning

With gold and silver in her hand.



When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter

His old eyes deepened in his head,

Sayin', "Gold will never free your father,

The price, my dear, is you instead."



"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly,

"It's only you that he does crave

And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.

Get on your horse and ride away."



"Oh father you will surely die

If I don't take the chance to try

And pay the price and not take your advice.

For that reason I will have to stay."



The gallows shadows shook the evening,

In the night a hound dog bayed,

In the night the grounds were groanin',

In the night the price was paid.



The next mornin' she had awoken

To know that the judge had never spoken.

She saw that hangin' branch a-bendin',

She saw her father's body broken.



These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:

That one doctor will not save him,

That two healers will not heal him,

That three eyes will not see him.



That four ears will not hear him,

That five walls will not hide him,

That six diggers will not bury him

And that seven deaths shall never kill him.

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Fortune Teller

(Neville)



Went to a fortune teller

To have my fortune read

I didn't know what to tell her

I had a dizzy feeling in my head



She took a hold of my palm

She said Son you feel kind of warm

And then she looked into a crystal ball

She said You're in love



I said how could that be so

I'm not friendly with the girls I know

She said when the next one arrives

You gotta look into her eyes



I left there in a hurry

Looking forward to my big surprise

The next day I discovered

That the fortune teller told me lies



I rushed straight back to that woman

Just as mad as I could be

I said I didn't see nobody

Why'd she made a fool of me



Then something struck me

Like lightning from up above

While looking at the fortune teller

I fell in love



Now I'm a happy fella

I'm married to the fortune teller

I'm as happy as I can be

Now I get my fortunes told for free

PULP lyrics - Sheffield Sex City

Intake, Manor Park, The Wicker, Norton, Frechville, Hackenthorpe, Shalesmoor,

Wombwell, Catcliffe, Brincliffe, Attercliffe, Ecclesall, Woodhouse, Wybourn,

Pitsmoor, Badger, Wincobank, Crookes, Walkley, Broomhill



The city is a woman

Bigger than any other

Oh, sophisticated lady

Yeah, I wanna be your lover

Not your brother, not your mother, yeah



The sun rose from behind the gasometers at six-thirty a. m.,

Crept through the gap in your curtains,

Caressed your bare feet poking from beneath the floral sheets.

I watched him flaking bits of varnish from your nails,

Trying to work his way up under the sheets.

Jesus!

Even the sun's on heat today

The whole city getting stiff in the building heat.



I just want to make contact with you

Oh that's all I wanna do

I just want to make contact with you

Oh that's all

I wanna do



Now I'm trying hard to meet her

But the fares went up at seven

She is somewhere in the city

Somewhere watching television

Watching people being stupid

Doing things she can't believe in

Love won't last `til next installment

Ten o' clock on Tuesday evening

The world is going on outside

The night is gaping open wide

The wardrobe and the chest of drawers

Are telling her to go outdoors

He should have been here by this time

He said that he'd be here by nine

That guy is such a prick sometimes

I don't know why you bother, really.



Oh babe

Oh I'm sorry

But I

I just had to make love to every crack in the pavement

And the shop doorways

And the puddles of rain that reflected your face in my eyes.



The day didn't go too well.

Too many chocolates and cigarettes.

I kept thinking of you and almost walking into lamp-posts.

Why's it so hot?

The air coming up to the boil

Rubbing up against walls and lamp-posts trying to get rid of it.

Old women clack their tongues in the shade of crumbling concrete bus shelters.

Dogs doing it in central reservations

And causing multiple pile-ups in the centre of town.

I didn't want to go in the first place,

But I've been sentenced to three years in the Housing Benefit waiting room.

I must have lost your number in the all-night garage,

And now I'm wandering up and down your street,

Calling you name,

In the rain,

Whilst my shoes turn to sodden cardboard.

Where are you? [Candida:] (I'm here)

[Jarvis:] Where are you? (I'm here)

Where are you? (I'm here)

Where are you? (I'm here)

Where are you? (I'm here)

Where are you? (I'm here)

Where are you?



I'm still trying hard to meet you

But it doesn't look like happening

Cos the city's out to get me

But I won't sleep with her this evening

Though her buildings are impressive

And her cul-de-sacs amazing

She's had too many lovers

And I know you're out there waiting

And now she's getting into bed

He's had his chance now it's too late

The carpet's screaming for her soul

The darkness wants to eat her whole

Tonight must be the night it ends

Tomorrow she will call her friends

And go out on her own somewhere

Who needs this shit anyway?

Oh listen,

I wandered the streets the whole night,

Trying to pick up your scent

Writing messages on walls

And the puddles of rain reflected your face in my eyes.



We finally made it...

On a hill-top at four a. m.

The whole city is your jewellery-box

A million twinkling yellow street lights.

Reach out and take what you want

You can have it all.

Jesus it took a long time.

I didn't think we were gonna make it.

So bad during the day,

But now snug and warm under an eiderdown sky.

Oh the things we saw:

Everyone on Park Hill came in unison at four-thirteen a. m.

And the whole block fell down.

The tobacconist caught fire,

And everyone in the street died of lung cancer.

We heard groans coming from the T-reg Chevette;

You bet, you bet, yeah you bet.

And tomorrow...?



Oh I was trying hard to meet her

But the fares went up at seven

She was somewhere in the city

Somewhere watching television

Watching people being stupid

Doing things she can't believe in

Love won't last `til next installment

Ten o'clock on Tuesday evening

The world was going on outside

The night was gaping open wide

The wardrobe and the chest of drawers

Were telling her to go outdoors

He should have been there by that time

He said that he'd be there by nine

That guy is such a prick sometimes

Oh yeah,

I want to tell you that

There's nothing to worry about because we can,

We can get it together, oh yeah.

We got it together tonight, didn't we?

I'd say we did, yeah

We've got a hope.

THE DEAD KENNEDYS lyrics - Shrink

If only people could shrink

Our world wouldn't be so overcrowded

Bring ourselves down to size

There'd be so much more food to go 'round



Why don't we build a machine

With all the know-how of the industries

We put a man on the moon

On earth we'll need more room to breathe real soon

Oh



Drink your vaccine and let's shrink

And bring your poodle so it doesn't eat us

The roads will be so wide

No traffic jams when we're half a foot tall

Bring what you need down here

We'll shrink it all by microwave

Don't wanna die like dinosaurs

We'll have enough resources to go round



Oh



So now you've made the big shrink

Meanwhile we'll keep acting big

We well-bred beautiful people

Who says we have to go too?

Cops and Mason businessmen

Were exempted from the ovens

As if you weren't already.

The rest of you are all our termites now



Oh

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Cabin Essence

Light the lamp and fire mellow,

Cabin essence timely hello,

Welcomes the time for a change.



Lost and found, you still remain there.

You'll find a meadow filled with grain there.

I'll give you a home on the range.



Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?

Who ran the iron horse?



I want to watch you windblown facing

Waves of wheat for your embracing.

Folks sing a song of the grange.



Nestle in a kiss below there.

The constellations ebb and flow there.

And witness our home on the range.



Who ran the iron horse?

(Truck driving man do what you can)

Who ran the iron horse?

(High-tail your load off the road)

Who ran the iron horse?

(Out of night-life-it's a gas man)

Who ran the iron horse?

(I don't believe I gotta grieve)

Who ran the iron horse?

(In and out of luck)

Who ran the iron horse?

(With a buck and a booth)

Who ran the iron horse?

(Catchin' on to the truth)

Who ran the iron horse?

(In the vast past, the last gasp)

Who ran the iron horse?

(In the land, in the dust, trust that you must)

Who ran the iron horse?

(Catch as catch can)



Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?

Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?

Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?



Over and over,

The crow cries uncover the cornfield.

Over and over,

The thresher and hover the wheat field.



Over and over,

The crow cries uncover the cornfield.

Over and over,

The thresher and hover the wheat field.



Over and over,

The crow cries uncover the cornfield.

Over and over,

The thresher and hover the wheat field.

J. J. CALE lyrics - Louisiana Women

(J. J. Cale)



Had me a gal in Baton Rouge, called her Lou-easy-ann

She gave me a little bit of olden dream and a key of marijuana

She treat me right

Lord, lord, lord, she treat me right

She treat me right, lord, lord

Well, I went on to New Orleans, had myself a ball

The ladies there, they don't care, they don't care at all

They treat you right

Warm, warm, Louisiana night

Treat you right, lord, lord

From the gulf of the Mississippi, up to Baton Rouge

Those Louisiana women, oh lord

Lord, you just can't lose

They treat you right

Treat you right

They treat you right, lord, lord, lord, lord

CHRIS REA lyrics - Keep On Dancing

I got a friend who loves the music

He got a red hot groove

But he don't use it

I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it

If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it



Keep on dancing



The experts say they really care

They don't have a clue what's out there

The teachers tell the children not to swear

And the drunken lawyes

Leaves the kid

To pop something in

To kill the fear... it's not fair



Keep on dancing



I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick

Hear what I say?

I could put something in here

You know what rhymes with it

The whole world seems to end

In c. k.e. d

You ain't fooling me anyway



Keep on dancing



Are you ready here comes

Steve Gadd



Keep on dancing



See em run for the books, cos

They just don't get it

They throw it at me

But I've already read it

Before they speak,

Some-one already said it



We can't be friends

Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme

With Mercedez-Benz

I need credit

You can shove it

You know why?

'Cos I love it!



Keep on dancing

THE KINKS lyrics - Hot Potatoes

My baby woke me up this mornin'

She said get down that labour exchange,

And if you don't come home with a job son,

You'll get no dinner to-day.

You gotta secure me a weekly workin' wage.

You'll get no more fancy cookin',

You'll get no more apple pie,

You'll just get those plain hot potatoes

To satisfy your appetite.



La la la la la la Potatoes,

Boiled, French fried, any old way that you wanna decide.

Hot potatoes, yeh,

I want your lovin' every single day.



I said I don't need your fancy cooking,

I like the simple things in life,

Just give me those plain hot potatoes

And I'll be well satisfied,

They'll satisfy my appetite.



La la la la la la Potatoes,

Boiled, French fried, any old way that you wanna decide.

Hot potatoes, yeh,

I want your lovin' 60 minutes an hour,

I want your lovin' 24 hours a day,

I want your lovin' 7 days a week.

Yeh, yeh, oh yeh.

I want your love, I need your love,

But all I get is hot potatoes

When I come home late at night

To satisfy my appetite.



Don't give me no more potatoes,

Boiled, French fried, any old way you wanna decide.

Hot potatoes,

I want your lovin' every single day.

I want your lovin'



La la la la la la Potatoes,

Boiled, French fried, any old way that you wanna decide.

Hot potatoes, Hot potatoes, yeh.

MOODY BLUES lyrics - Veteran Cosmic Rocker

The lights go down

The stage is set

The man in the wings breaks out in sweat

A backstage joker spiked his coke

While the dressing room was full of smoke

A crowd of fools got him high

He's afraid he's gonna die

He's the apple of their eye



He steps into the remaining light

The crowd go wild

He's outa sight

Arms held high in the sign of peace

His manager signed the one night lease

The house is full getting high

He's afraid he's gonna die

He's the apple of their eye

(He struts, he strolls)

(His love is rock 'n' roll)

He's the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER



He steps into the remaining light

The crowd go wild

Arms held high in the sign of peace

His manager signed the one night lease

The house is full getting high

He's afraid he's gonna die

He's the apple of their eye

(He struts, he strolls)

(His life is rock 'n' roll)

He's the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER

He's afraid that he will die

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Something To Dance About

[Verse:]

An old hand at giving parties

And I've learned an awful lot

The best reason for a party

And what keeps it boiling hot

An occasion when you've got



[Refrain:]

Something to dance about

Someone to dance it with

Something to dance it to

To a fox-trot or a waltz



Put on your dancing shoes

Here comes some happy news

Break up in twos and twos

To a fox-trot or a waltz



You and someone have parted

And your lonely heart yearns

While you're there broken hearted

Suddenly he returns



That's something to dance about

With someone to dance it with

Pick something to dance it to

To a fox-trot or a waltz

To a Charleston or a waltz

To a Tango or a waltz



[Blues tempo:]

Dance to the blues

Something to dance about

Someone to dance it with

Something to dance it to Blues



[Rhumba tempo:]

Dance it to a rhumba

Ah



[Coda:]

To a fox-trot, Charleston, Tango or a waltz

Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

PHISH lyrics - 46 Days

Leigh Fordham sold me out

46 days and the coal ran out

Please come round here another day

Sit yourself down when you're ready to stay



She dug down when they took the town

Lookin' for clues but they couldn't be found

Leigh found out she was ready to roam

47 days and the coal came home



Taste the fear

For the devil's drawing near

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Thanks For The Memory

(L. Robin, R. Rainger)



[Recorded July 20, 1981, New York]



Thanks for the memory

Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet

Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette

How lucky I was



And thanks for the memory

Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki

We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea

How cozy it was



Now since our breakup I wake up

Alone on a gray morning-after

I long for the sound of your laughter

And then I see the laugh's on me



But, thanks for the memory

Of every touch a thrill, I've been through the mill

I've lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still

I miss you so much



Thanks for the memory

Of how we used to jog even in a fog

That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog

How rainy it was



Thanks for the memory

Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed

Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud

How brainy he was



Gone are those evenings on Broadway

Together we'd go to a great show

But now I begin with the Late Show

And wish that you were watching, too



I know it's a fallacy

That grown men never cry, baby, that's a lie

We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die

And thank you so much

JOHN LENNON lyrics - Well, Well, Well

I took my loved one out to dinner

So we could get a bite to eat

And though we both had been much thinner

She looked so beautiful I could eat her

Well Well Well Oh Well



We sat and talked of revolution

just like to librals in the sun

we talked of womens liberation

and how the hell we could get thing done

Well Well Well Oh Well



I took my loved one to a big field

So we could watch the english sky

Were both feeling guilty

And neither one of us knew just why

Well Well Well Oh Well

GARY MOORE lyrics - Cold Black Night

(Gary Moore)



It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

The night that my baby left town.



It was the darkest day,

And the wind was howlin' through.

It was the darkest day,

And the wind came howlin' through.

It was the darkest day,

Day my baby said we're through.



Oh, come back baby,

Never did you no wrong.

Come back baby,

I never did you no wrong.

I've been sleeping in the ground

Ever since your love been gone.



It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

The night my baby left town.

Yeah.



It was the darkest day,

And the wind came howlin' through.

It was the darkest day,

And the wind came howlin' through.

It was the darkest day,

The day my baby said we're through.



It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.



It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

And the rain was falling down.

It was a cold black night,

The night my baby left this town.

Yes.



It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night.

It was a cold black night,

The night my baby left town.



It was a cold black night.

LOU REED lyrics - Women

I love women, I think they are great

They're a solace to the world in a terrible state

They're a blessing to the eyes, a balm to soul

What a nightmare to have no women in the world



I love women...

We all love women



I used to look at women in the magazines

I know that it was sexist, but I was on the sly

I couldn't keep my hands off women

And I won't till I die



I love women...

We all love women



A woman's love can lift you up, and women can inspire

I feel like buying flowers and hiring a celestial choir

A choir of castratis to serenade my love

They'd sing a little Bach for us and then we'd make love



I love women

I love women

We all love women

We love women

SMOKEY ROBINSON lyrics - I Love Your Face

I love your face

I love the way you smile at me

An open door that lets the sunshine in

It lights my world, my days

I love your face

I love the look thats in your eyes

You see right through the deepest part of me,

Right down into the heart of me

I love your face



Don't you ever change

You're just right for me

I love all of you

And especially I love your face

I love the message there for me

The greatest love story I ever heard

without a sound, without a word

I love your face

I love your face

I love your face

THE OFFSPRING lyrics - (Can't Get My) Head Around You

Deep inside your soul, there's a hole

You don't want to see

Every single day, what you say

Makes no sense to me

Even though I try

I can't get my head around you



Somewhere in the night, there's a light

In front of me

Heaven up above, with a shove

Abandons me

And even though I try

I fall in the river of you

You manage to bring me down too



All your faking

Shows you're aching



Every single day, what you say

Makes no sense to me

Letting you inside isn't right

Cause you'll mess with me

I never really know

What's really going inside you

I can't get my head around you



All your feeding

Shows you're bleeding



Deep inside your soul, there's a hole

You don't want to see

You're covering it up, like a cut

With the likes of me

You know I've really tried

I can't do anymore about you



The cut's getting deeper

The hill's getting steeper

I guess I'll never know

What's really going on inside you

I can't get my head around you

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Doctor My Eyes

(Jackson Browne)



Doctor, my eyes have seen the years

And the slow parade of fears without crying

Now I want to understand



I have done all that I could

To see the evil and the good without hiding

You must help me if you can



Doctor, my eyes

Tell me what is wrong

Was I unwise to leave them open for so long



'cause I have wandered through this world

And as each moment has unfurled

I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams

People go just where there will

I never noticed them until I got this feeling

That it's later than it seems



Doctor, my eyes

Tell me what you see

I hear their cries

Just say if it's too late for me



Doctor, my eyes

Cannot see the sky

Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Putting It Together

[From "Sunday In The Park With George"]



[Barbra:] Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this

[Producer 1:] Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.

[Producer 2:] No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.

[Producer 3:] He's right!

[Producer 1:] Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!

[Barbra:] What is commercial?

[Producer 2:] It's not what's selling nowadays.

[Producer 1:] I mean - personally, I love it, but

[Barbra (sung):]Be nice, girl!

[Producer 3:] Nobody's into this kind of material.

[Barbra (sung):] You have to pay a price, girl!

[Producer 2:] This album needs a hit single we can push.

[Barbra (sung):]They like to give advice, girl!

[Producer 1:] The whole idea's too risky.

[Barbra (sung):] Don't think about it twice, girl!

[Producer 2:] The audience won't understand this kind of thing!

[Barbra (sung):]It's time to get to work!

Barbra (spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?

[Producer 3:] This is like your old stuff!

[Barbra (sung):] Art isn't easy.

[Producer 3:] You've got to appeal to the kids.

[Barbra (sung):] Even when you're hot.

[Producer 2:] Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?

[Barbra (sung):] Advancing art is easy.

[Producer 1:] I think we ought to talk seriously about this.

[Barbra (sung):] Financing it is not!

[Producer 2:] Why take chances?

[Barbra (sung):] A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!

[Producer 1:] Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but

[Barbra (sung):] If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!

[Producer 2:] You have to think about you career!

[Barbra (sung):] It has to come to life!

Bit by bit, putting it together

Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art

Every moment makes a contribution

Every little detail plays a parts

Having just a vision's no solution

Everything depends on execution

Putting it together, that's what counts!

Ounce by ounce, putting in together

Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art

First of all you need a good foundation

Otherwise it's risky from the start

Takes a little cocktail conversation

But without the proper preparation

Having just a vision's no solution

Everything depends on execution

The art of making art

Is putting it together, bit by bit

[Producer 2:] Do we really need all these musicians?

[Barbra:] Link by link, making the connections, yes we do!

Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes

Learning how to play the politician

Like you play piano, bass and drums

Otherwise you'll find your composition

Isn't gonna get much exhibition

Art isn't easy

Every minor detail is a major decision

Have to keep things in scale

Have to hold to your vision

[Producer 1:] Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?

What's a little cocktail conversation

If it gets the funds for your foundation

Every time I start to feel defensive

I remember vinyl is expensive!

[Producer 3:] Would you agree to do an interview?

[Barbra:] Maybe one!

Dot by dot, building up the image

Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay

Still if you remember your objective

Not give all your privacy away

A little bit of hype can be effective

As long as you can keep it in perspective

Even when you get some recognition

Everything you do you still audition

Art isn't easy

Overnight you're a trend

You're the right combination

Then the trend's at an end

You're suddenly last year's sensation!

All they ever want is repetition

All they really like is what they know

Gotta keep a link with your tradition

Gotta learn to trust your intuition

While you re-establish your position

So that you can be on exhibit...

So that your work can be on exhibition!

Be new, girl!

They tell you till they're blue, girl!

You're new, or else you're through, girl!

And even if it's true, girl,

You do what you can do!

Bit by bit, Putting it together

Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day

All it takes is time and perseverance

With a little luck along the way

Putting in a personal appearance

Gathering supporters and adherents...

[Producer 1:] Well, she's an original!

[Producer 3:] WAS!

[Barbra:] Mapping out the songs but in addition

Harmonizing each negotiation

Balancing the part that's all musicians

With the part that's strictly presentation

Balancing the money with the mission

Till you have the perfect orchestration

Even if you do have the suspicion

That it's taking all your concentration

The art of making art

Is putting it together, bit by bit

Beat by beat, part by part

Sheet by sheet, chart by chart

Track by track, bit by bit,

Reel by reel, pout by pout

Stack by stack, snit by snit,

meal by meal, shout by shout

Deal by deal, spat by spat

Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt

And that... Is the state of the art!

JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - Freedom

You got my pride

hanging out of my bed

You're messin' around with my life

So I bought my...

You even mess with my children

And you're screamin' at my wife, baby

Get off my back,

if you wanna get outta here alive



Freedom, give it to me

That's what I want now

Freedom, that's what I need now

Freedom to live

Freedom, so I can give



You got my heart

speak electric water

You got my soul

screamin' and howlin'

You know you hook my girlfriend

You know the drugstore man

But I don't need it now

I was trying to slap it out of her head



Freedom, so I can give

Freedom, yeah

Freedom, that's what I need



You don't have to say that you love

if you don't mean it

You'd better believe

If you need me

or you just wanna bleed me

you'd better stickin' your dagger in someone else

So I can leave

Set me free



(Yeah)



Right on, straight ahead

Stay up and straight ahead

Freedom

THE DOORS lyrics - Whiskey, Mystics And Men

Well, I'll tell you a story

Of whiskey and mystics and men,

And about the believers and

How the whole thing began.

First there were women and

Children obeying the moon,

Then daylight brought wisdom

And fever and sickness too soon.

You can try to remind me

Instead of the other, you can.

You can help to insure

That we all insecure our command.

If you don't give a listen,

I won't try to tell your new hand.

This is it; can't you see

That we all have our ends in the band.



And if all of the teachers and

Preachers of wealth were arraigned,

We could see quite a future

For me in the literal sands.

And if all the people

Could claime to inspect such regrets,

Well, we'd have no forgiveness,

Forgetfullness, faithful remorse.

So I tell you, I tell you,

I tell you we must send away.

We must try to find a

New answer instead of a way.

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Country Comfort

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere

Village children fight each other for a share

And the 6:09 goes roaring past the creek

Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week



I saw grandma yesterday down at the store

Well she's really going fine for eighty four

Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn

Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm



And it's good old country comfort in my bones

Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known

Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown

Country comfort's in a truck that's going home



Down at the well they've got a new machine

The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen

Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say

You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day



Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks

The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks

And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch

Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Weapon Of The Spirit

You can make this world shine in the darkest of times, if you use your weapon of the spirit.



You can make the blind see things they'd never believe, if you use your weapon of the spirit.



You can open any door that would not open before, if you use your weapon of the spirit, yeah, yeah.



If a world without war is what you're waiting for, you'd better use the weapon of the spirit, oh yeah.



Nothing is more overpowering that weapons of the spirit,

The heart is all-knowing - this world, we must heal it.



Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.



Hey, well, you might be the salt of the earth, but tell me: what is it worth if you never use your weapon of the spirit?



It's such an easy thing to do: to have a mountaintop view, if you use your weapon of the spirit.



Nothing is more overpowering that weapons of the spirit,

Oh, the heart of the all-knowing - this world, he wants to heal it.



Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.



Say it's not too late, say it's not too late,

Say it's not too late to stop what we are doing to ourselves.



Weapon of the spirit, oh,

We better use weapon of the spirit.



Weapon of the spirit, weapon of the spirit.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Parallel Universe

Deep inside of a parallel universe

It's getting harder and harder

To tell what came first



Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily



Far away you were made in a sea

Just like me



[Chorus:]

Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a

California King

I swear it's everywhere

It's everything



Staring straight up into the sky

Oh my my a solar system that fits

In your eye Microcosm



You could die but your never dead spider web

Take a look at the stars in

Your head fields of space kid



[Chorus x 2]



Psychic changes are born in your heart

Entertain

A nervous breakthrough that makes us the

same

Bless your heart girl



Kill the pressure it's raining on

Salty Cheeks

When you hear the beloved song

I am with you



[Chorus x 2]

FREE lyrics - Goin' Down Slow

(Oden)



Yes I've had my fun

If I don't get well no more

Yes I've had my fun, baby

If I don't get well no more

You see I have this pain in me

An I'm goin' down slow



Won't somebody write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Please write my mother

Tell her to pray for me

Tell her to forgive my sin



Tell her don't send no doctor

Yes a doctor can do me no good

Yes no doctor mama

Doctor can do me no good

But you see through all of my trials

I never did all the things I could



On the next train south

Baby you can look for my...

On the next train south

Mama, you can look for...

Yes now if you see my baby baby

Yes you know I'm dead and gone

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - The French Inhaler

(Warren Zevon)



How're you going to make your way in the world

When you weren't cut out for working

When your fingers are slender and frail

How're you going to get around

In this sleazy bedroom town

If you don't put yourself up for sale



Where will you go with your scarves and your miracles

Who's gonna know who you are

Drugs and wine and flattering light

You must try it again till you get it right

Maybe you'll end up with someone different every night



All these people with no home to go home to

They'd all like to spend the night with you

Maybe I would, too



But tell me

How're you going to make your way in the world, woman

When you weren't cut out for working

And you just can't concentrate

And you always show up late



You said you were an actress

Yes, I believe you are

I thought you'd be a star

So I drank up all the money,

Yes, I drank up all the money,

With these phonies in this Hollywood bar,

These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar



Loneliness and frustration

We both came down with an acute case

And when the lights came up at two

I caught a glimpse of you

And your face looked like something

Death brought with him in his suitcase



Your pretty face

It looked so wasted

Another pretty face

Devastated

The French Inhaler

He stamped and mailed her

"So long, Norman"

She said, "So long, Norman"

MORRISSEY lyrics - Margaret On The Guillotine

The kind people

have a wonderful dream

Margaret on the guillotine

because people like you

make me feel so tired

when will you die?

when will you die?

when will you die?

when will you die?

when will you die?

because people like you

make me feel so old inside

please die

and kind people

do not shelter this dream

make it real

make the dream real

make the dream real

make it real

Let The Right One Slip In

Let the right one in

Let the old dreams die

Let the wrong ones go

They cannot

They cannot

They cannot do what you want them to

Oh...

Let the right one in

Let the old dreams die

Let the wrong ones go

They do not

They do not

They do not see what you want them to

Oh...

Let the right one in

Let the old things fade

Put the tricks and schemes forward

Away

Ah... I will advise

Ah... Until my mouth dries

Ah... I will advise you to...

Ah... let the right one slip in

Slip in

Slip in

And when at last it does

I'd say you were within your rights to write

The right one and say, "what kept you so long?"

"What kept you so long?"

Oh...

WHITESNAKE lyrics - Only My Soul

(David Coverdale)



Only my soul, stops me crying,

Wondering why I feel alone

And only my love keeps me from

Weeping, so bad,

Giving me strength, to carry on



Lead me on thro' restless waters,

Walk with me along the way

Live the moment, and tomorrow

For the Lord will take it all

On judgement day



Broken dreams lay all around me,

Sad eyed children of despair

Whispered voices in the distance

Call me on to who knows where



Lead me on thro' restless waters,

Walk with me along the way

Live the moment, and tomorrow

'Cos the Lord will take it all on judgement day,

And the Lord will take it all on judgement day



Hear me crying out for love

Hear me crying out for love

I'll never let you know it,

I can only show it in my song



Only my soul



Hear me crying out for love

Hear me crying out for love

I'll never let you know it,

I can only show it in my song

Only my soul...

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Languishing (The Interlude)

If you could only see

That I was not put here for you

To judge me and dispute my inner most truth



And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears

It's a shame you don't know me at all



I was wondering

Would you cry for me?

If I told you that I couldn't breathe

If I was drowning, suffocating

If I told you that I couldn't breathe



Those ancient buried recollections

We transform them and select them

You have yours, I have mine

That's fine

While we're too torn to heal

Our stitch has never disappeared

I have mine, you have yours

I'm sure



I was wondering

Would you reach for me

If you saw that I was languishing

I was wondering would you cry for me

If I told you that I couldn't breathe

If I was drowning, suffocating

If I told you that I couldn't breathe

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - The Look Of Love

The look of love

Is in your eyes

The look your heart can't disguise

The look of love

Is saying so much more

Than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard

Well it takes my breath away



I can hardly wait to hold you

Feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you

Now that I have found you



You've got the look of love

It's on your face

A look that time can't erase

Be mine tonight

Let this be just the start

Of so many nights like this

Let's take a lover's vow

And then seal it with a kiss



I can hardly wait to hold you

Feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you

Now that I have found you

Don't ever go



I can hardly wait to hold you

Feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you

Now that I have found you

Don't ever go

Don't ever go

I love you so

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Cry 'Til My Tears Run Dry

(Pomus, Shuman, Fagin)



Here it is again

Friday night

Everyone is laughing

Carrying on

Going out

Having a ball

But I stay at home

Waiting by a phone that never rings

Surrounded by memories and all your things



Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

'Til my tears run dry



I know that you're out

Having fun

Cheatin' on me

Telling pretty lies

Making her promises now

You don't think of me

You don't care about what's happening here

Every time you kiss her I cry a tear



Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

'Til my tears run dry



You don't think of me

You don't care about what's happening here

Every time you kiss her I cry a tear



Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

Yes I'm gonna cry

Oh yes I'm gonna cry

'Til my tears run dry

Yes I yes I'm gonna cry

BOSTON lyrics - What's Your Name

(Scholz)



Well I saw her just as I was leaving

Crossing in between the cars

Sometimes seeing is just not believing

Like a spaceship coming down from Mars

(Oh)

Total attraction

You're driving me insane

A chain reaction

Baby, tell me what's your name

Baby, what's your name

Yeah, you know I'm not that underhanded

But I didn't know what else to do

So I told her that the ships had landed

And I told her "I'll take care of you"



(Oh)

Total attraction

You're driving me insane

A chain reaction

Baby, tell me what's your name

Baby, what's your name?

Come on girl, what's your name?

(Oh, look out)



Well, I know you wouldn't understand it

Didn't know what I should say or do

And it wasn't quite the way I planned it

But I had to find a way to you

(Oh)



Total attraction

You're driving me insane

A chain reaction

Baby, tell me what's your name Yeah, yeah.

Baby, what's your name

Baby, what's your name

ABBA lyrics - Fernando (Spanish Version)

хPuedes escuchar, Fernando?

me recuerda tiempo atrЎs

estrellas y una noche allЎ

en la lumbre azul Fernando

tarareabas tu canciгn

con ese suave guitarrear

yo pod­a escuchar

esos tambores con un sordo redoblar



Se acercaban mЎs Fernando

y el momento que pasaba

parec­a eternidad

y sent­ temor Fernando

por la vida y juventud

nadie pensaba en morir

y no siento hoy verguenza al

confesar que tuve

ganas de llorar



Algo hab­a alrededor quizЎ

de claridad Fernando

que brillaba por nosotros dos

en protecciгn Fernando

no pensЎbamos jamЎs perder

ni echar atrЎs

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo har­a ya Fernando

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo har­a ya Fernando



La vejez llegг Fernando

y con ella una paz

que hoy logramos disfrutar

se durmiг el tambor Fernando

Paraciera que fu© ayer

que lo vivimos tк y yo

y en tus ojos veo aкn

aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor



Algo hab­a alrededor quizЎ

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Working John, Working Joe

When I was a young man (as all good tales begin)

I was taught to hold out my hand

And for my pay I worked an honest day

and took what pittance I could win

Now I'm a working John and I'm a working Joe

and I'm doing what I know

for God and the Economy

Big brother watches over me

And the state protects and feeds me

And my conscience never leaves me

And I'm loyal to the unions

who protect me at all levels



And as I grew, the winds of fortune blew

and the bank smiled down upon me

And mortgaged to the hilt I threw

the breeze of caution behind me

Now I'm a working John and I'm a working Joe

and I'm good at what I know

And God and the Economy

have blessed me with equality

Now I'm equal to the best of you

And better than the rest of you

who would criticise my success

in times of national unrest



Now I own my horseless carriage

in its central-heated garage

And I commute eighty miles a day ---

up at seven to make it pay

I direct ten limited companies

with seeming consummate expertise

two ulcers and a heart disease

a trembling feeling in both knees ---

I'm a working John and I'm a working Joe

JOAN WEBER lyrics - Let Me Go, Lover

(Jenny Lou Carson and Al Hill)



(Go, go, go)



Oh, let me go

Let me go

Let me go, lover

Let me be

Set me free

From your spell



You made me weep

Cut me deep

I can't sleep, lover

I was cursed

From the first

Day I fell



You don't want me

But you want me

To go on wanting you

Now I pray that

You will say that

We're through



Please turn me loose

What's the use

Let me go, lover

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go



You made me weep

Cut me deep

I can't sleep, lover

I was cursed

From the first

Day I fell



You don't want me

But you want me

To go on wanting you

Now I pray that

You will say that

We're through



Please turn me loose

What's the use

Let me go, lover

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

THE ERIC BURDON BAND lyrics - Power Company

(Burdon, Carter, Gartig, Kravetz, Noya, Passmann)



My daddy worked a lifetime, yeah

For the Power Company

Turning night into day, yeah

Yeah, for the Power Company

You know that he can still recall when the company was God,

Man was a slave

Throughout a war-torn strife,

My daddy held his lit electric light.

Power Company

They told him... 'join the union, lad, or we'll kick you in the ass'.

Power Company

I grew up with these words printed on my back

Power Company



Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free?



I worked like a dog all day on the production line

This factory is a jail, every day of your life you know

You're doing time

Now I got a little car

And I can't afford the gas

The house is cold and draughty

And the kids grow up too fast

I walk around, no future, no past

Power Company



Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free?



How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery

My old man gets up each morning

And he goes to work each day at the Power Company

Yeah, he still does his little job and it isn't very hard

A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew

And the bosses at the top

They never seem to stop

Power Company



And we're singin'

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free?

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free?

Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? (Power Company)

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? (Power Company)

Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company)

You ask yourself a truth that you'll find out (Power Company)

And you'll never be free (from the Power Company)

Yeah, move your head (Power Company)

Move your soul...

THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS lyrics - Grasshopper

(John Phillips)



Grasshopper cannot stop her roaming,

And her home and friends don't mean anything no more.

Show-stopper, you cannot top her.

With a cowboy grace, can't stay in one place too long (too long).



Big-topper, she told such a whopper,

But everyone knows when winter comes grasshoppers go.

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Yassassin (Turkish For Long Live)

[CHORUS]

Yassassin - I'm not a moody guy

Yassassin - I walk without a sound

Yassassin -

Just a working man, no judge of men

Yassassin -

But such a life I've never known



We came from the farmlands

To live in this city

We walked proud and lustful

In this resonant world

You want to fight

But I don't want to leave

Or drift away



[CHORUS]



Look at this - no second glances

Look at this - no value of love

Look at this - just sun and steel

Look at this - then look at us



If there's someone in charge

Then listen to me

Don't say nothing's wrong

'Cause I've got a love

And she's afeared

You want to fight

But I don't want to leave

Or drift away



[CHORUS]



Yassassin, Yassassin, Yassassin

THE KINKS lyrics - Rock 'N' Roll Cities

Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come

From Buffalo to the Gulf of Mexico

Rock 'n' roll cities, look out for our bus

Does anybody know the way to Idaho?



Well it's good to be back

Had some trouble on the way

I never thought we'd get here

But we made it just the same

The flight over was real rough

So could you lead me to a beer

I see the pretty girls getting younger

Every year



Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come

From New York State to the Gulf of Mexico

Rock 'n' roll cities, look out for our bus

Does anybody know the way to Idaho?



WCVR KONK, WSOS, are we still on that playlist?

Well, it's anybody's guess

But what does it matter when you're out on the town

Rock 'n' roll cities, with a pizza to go

Rock 'n' roll cities, Philadelphia P. A.

I got my radio

Promo for MTV



What's next on the itinerary? Can anybody tell?

What's the hotel like? Is there cable T. V. as well?

Get up with a headache, fall asleep on the plane

And we get there, start all over again



Rock 'n' roll cities, look out we're coming through

Kansas City, Fresno, San Diego

Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come

Richmond, Cleveland, Ohio, Nebraska, St. Paul

Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come

From Buffalo to the Gulf of Mexico

Rock 'n' roll cities, watch out for our bus

Does anybody know the way to Idaho?



Flight 62 now leaving for Memphis stopping at Boston

Washington D. C. with continuing service to Los Angeles

Seattle, Portland... etc...



Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come

90 miles on Highway 61

Rock 'n' roll ladies, watch out here we come

Does anybody know the way to Madison?



Rock 'n' roll cities look out here we come

Rock 'n' roll cities

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!

Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.

Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,

Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.

Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.

Let them know

The Wicked Witch is dead!

CHRIS REA lyrics - Little Blonde Plaits

Sweet September, I remember

Eyes of August deepest blue

While the lazy town was sleeping

Strangest love that I ever knew

Feel the wind blow, see the shadows

Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore

Of my life's loves and fascinations

The only one who left me wanting more

Little blonde plaits

Drink to you love, drink to me love

Sun burned feet on a dusty track

Evening waves that turned in twilight

Caught forever those little blonde plaits

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Busy Doin' Nothin'

(Brian Wilson)



I had to fix a lot of things this morning

'Cause they were so scrambled

But now it's okay

I tell you I've got enough to do



The afternoon was filled up with phone calls

What a hot sticky day, yeah yeah yeah

The air is cooling down



Take all the time you need

It's a lovely night

If you decide to come

You're gonna do it right



Drive for a couple miles

You'll see a sign and turn left

For a couple blocks

Next is mine, you'll turn left on a little road

It's a bumpy one



You'll see a white fence

Move the gate and drive through on the left side

Come right in

And you'll find me in my house somewhere

Keeping busy while I wait



I get a lot of thoughts in the morning

I write 'em all down

If it wasn't for that

I'd forget 'em in a while



And lately I've been thinking ”bout a good friend

I'd like to see more of, yeah yeah yeah

I think I'll make a call



I wrote a number down

But I lost it

So I searched through my pocket book

I couldn't find it

So I sat and concentrated on the number

And slowly it came to me

So I dialed it



And I let it ring a few times

There was no answer

So I let it ring a little more

Still no answer



So I hung up the telephone

Got some paper and sharpened up a pencil

And wrote a letter to my friend

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Please Let Me Wonder

Now here we are together

This would've been worth waiting forever

I always it'd feel this way



And please forgive my shaking

Can't you tell my heart is breaking?

Can't make myself say what I planned to say



Baby

Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



I built all my goals around you

That some day my love would surround you

You'll never know what we've been through



For so long I thought about it

And now I just can't live without it

This beautiful image I have of you



Baby

Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



I love you

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - I Love You

I have a smile

Stretched from ear to ear

To see you walking down the road



We meet at the lights

I stare for a while

The world around disappears



Just you and me

On this island of hope

A breath between us could be miles



Let me surround you

My sea to your shore

Let me be the calm you seek



Oh and every time I'm close to you

There's too much I can't say

And you just walk away



And I forgot

To tell you

I love you

And the night's

Too long

And cold here

Without you

I grieve in my condition

For I cannot find the strength to say I need you so



Oh and every time I'm close to you

There's too much I can't say

And you just walk away



And I forgot

To tell you

I love you

And the night's

Too long

And cold here

Without you

STEVE HACKETT lyrics - The Toast

Round and round and up and down

Round and round and up and down

Drinking all the wine we found

Not so easy to remain

Steady

Happy



Round and round and up and down

Round and round and up and down

Drinking all the wine we found

Not so easy to remain

Steady

Happy



Say it soft and say it slow

Tell me what I want to know

Pour it till it overflows

Love may come and love may go

Such a

Pity

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - See See

(B. Hay)



He was the only key

She was the only door

What more could they please



Her eyes are ponds of blue

His wishes all came true

What was there to loose in the midnight



See, see, see, he said

Seagulls screamin' down in the morning sky

Gee, gee, gee, he said

Come on girl let's leave this world behind



But then, after weeks

The weeks they got weak

Little did they speak about the future

Her eyes still were blue

But thoughts soon got black

Time that he went back to where he came from



See, see, see, she said

Broken dreams fill the starless night

Gee, gee, gee, she said

And her tears were sparklin' bright in the mornin' light

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Close To You

(H. David, B. Bacharach)



[Recorded October 29, 1970, Hollywood]



Close to you, I will always stay.

Close to you, though you're far away.



You'll always be near as though you were here by my side.

No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there

Close to me, sharing you're caress.

Can't you see you're my happiness?



Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.

What can I do?

It only wants to be close to you.



[Musical interlude]



Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.

What can I do?

It only wants to be close to you.

THE WHO lyrics - It's Your Turn

Up here on the ledge

I'm getting pushed to the edge

People line up behind me to step into my shoes,

Up here in the precipice

I'm getting close to my nemesis

People fighting each other to jump into my blues



There's a young kid inside me somewhere

He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies,

With the blood and the moon in his eyes

I hear his voice when I'm comin' down,

Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise,

Who never get to live twice.



I was a face in a magazine,

When you were still playin' with your plasticine,

Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream,

You can take the fans and the enemies

The little girls who squeeze and tease

Then pass on their social disease,

Go get your penicillin.



I know you young and dumb,

I know where you're comin' from.

Don't know where you're goin' to,

But I bin there same as you,

You're running out of ideas,

And new hats to try on.

I know you middle age

Same song, different page,

I know what you're goin' through

Made the same mistakes as you,

All you want is some hope

And a shoulder to cry on.



There's a stranger inside me somewhere

That shadow behind me, don't even look like me.

An echoed apology.

He's a wolf in sheep disguise,

I wake up in places I don't even recognize,

Pretender in paradise.



It's your turn, step up and take it

If you've got the guts to hang on

You can make.

C'mon, c'mon, come on,

Ooooh take it!

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Strangers In The Night

Ooooooh. Wooooh.

Strangers in the night, exchanging glances,

wondering in the night what were the chances

we would fall in love before the night was through.



Something in your eyes was so exciting,

and in your smile, ooh, inviting.

In my heart I knew I must have you.



Strangers in the night, lonely people.

Strangers in the night up to the moment

we said our first hello. Little did we know

love was just a glance away, embracing dance away.

It's just a glance away. It's just a chance away.



Dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger,

c'mon, c'mon, treat a stranger right.

I'm dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger,

I say what's on my mind.

Let us be lovers. Yeah, it's gonna be all right

for strangers in the. . .



Yeah, woo-hoo!

I'm dancin', dancin' in the night.

Hello stranger. C'mon, whoa.

Dancin', I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger.

Woo. I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger.

Oh-wo. Ohhhh.



Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be

Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.

No, Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be

Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.

Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be

Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.

No, no, nooo, don't wanna be strangers.

No. Strangers. Woo!

INXS lyrics - I'm Only Looking

I hear voices

Inside my head

Can I deceive

Can I believe

My whispering friends



What do I hear

About war and peace

What do I hear

About love and sex



I'm delirious

For an answer



Taking me deeper

And deeper in mind

I'm only looking



Fascination for

Limits of love

Should I aim higher

And higher and higher



Will I break you

Like some possession

To learn my lesson

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

[Originally by Tears for Fears]



Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while sleep

We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour

Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help make the most

Of freedom and of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you

Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down

When they do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it

So sad they had fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision

Married with a lack of vision

Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never never never need it

One headline why believe it?

Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - 45th Floor

(Bill Champlin, Tom Johnston)



Politician drivin' down the road

Flashin' that smile that got him the vote

Here's another country girl

He's teachin' her about the world in his room

On the 45th floor - get 'em all while they're young



Campaign money comes rollin' in

Ain't nobody askin' where it's been

Talk about a smokin' gun

What'd we pay to get his son out of jail

Don't inhale

On the 45th floor



We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

and the party rolls on



Used to be a rumour goin' round

The people tried to run my man outta town

We thought we'd see him ride the rails

No one's ever gonna nail him down

All because of the 45th floor



We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Doesn't matter if it's left or right

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on



None of these fools ever thinks about the pain they cause

It's all about an image to uphold

how could anybody be so bold

Takin' all the candy from the hands of a child



We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on

ACCEPT lyrics - Generation Clash II

Warnings surround you

That life ain't long

Same old stories

You've heard Њem before



They tell you to listen

To be like they've been

You carry a burden

Whatever you do



They never approve of

The things that you do

Revolution

In the heart of your home



But what do they do

To comfort you

At times when you don't feel alright



Generation Clash

Generation Clash - you got

the guts to go



Bitching forever

For wasting time

You better not worry

You're doing alright

They tell you to listen

To be like they've been



But what do they do

To comfort you

At times when you don't feel alright



Generation Clash

Generation Clash - you got

the guts to go

Generation Clash -

kiss those times goodbye

Generation Clash - you got

the guts to go



Generation Clash

Generation Clash - you got

the guts to go

Generation Clash -

kiss those times goodbye -

the times are gone for good

Generation Clash - you got

the guts to go



Generation Clash - oh it's the

generation Clash

Generation Clash - nothing ventured

nothing gained - so get alive

Generation Clash...

THE MONKEES lyrics - Circle Sky (From Justus)

(Michael Nesmith)



Circle Sky

Telling lies

Raison d'etre

Idol threat



'Cause it looks like we made it once again

Yes, it looks like we made it once again



Color Sound

Run aground

Seagull sails

'Cause it looks like we made it once again

Yes, it looks like we made it once again



It's a very extraordinary scene

To those who don't understand

But what you have seen you must believe

If you can, if you can

Falling free



'Cause it looks like we made it once again

Yes, it looks like we made it once again



It's a very extraordinary scene

To those who don't understand

But what you have seen you must believe

If you can, if you can

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Gluttony

Family



We've gotten word from philadelphia

Anna's doing well, she's making lots of money.

Her contract has been signed to do a solo turn,

It forbids her ever eating when or what she likes to eat,

She likes to eat, she likes to eat.



Those are hard terms for little Anna,

Who has always been very greedy.

Oh if she does not break her contract!

There's no market for hippos in philadelphia!



Every single day they weigh her,

Gaining half an ounce means trouble,

They have principles to stand by:

It's a hundred-and-eighteen that were signed for?

Only for the weight agreed we pay!



Gaining half an ounce means trouble,

More than that would mean disaster!



But our Anna Is not all that stupid

And she knows a contract is a contract

So she'll reason: after all

You still can eat like little Anna

In Louisiana? crabmeat! porkchops!

Sweet-corn! chicken!

And those golden biscuits spread with honey!



Think of our house in Louisiana!

Look? it's growing! more and more it needs you!

Therefore curb your craving! gluttons will be punished!

Curb your craving, Anna! gluttons never go to heaven!

THE ANIMALS lyrics - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

(Benjamin/Caldwell/Marcus)



Baby, do you understand me now

Sometimes I feel a little mad

But don't you know that no one alive

Can always be an angel

When things go wrong I seem to be bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry

Then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



If I seem edgy I want you to know

That I never mean to take it out on you

Life has it's problems and I get my share

And that's one thing I never meant to do

Because I love you

Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human

Have thoughts like any other one

Sometimes I find myself long regretting

Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
