DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Tomorrow Is Forever



(Dolly Parton)



Take my hand and run with me

Out of the past of yesterday

And walk with me into the future of tomorrow

Yesterday must be forgot

No looking back no matter what

There's nothing there but mem'ries that bring sorrow



Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever



No more crying tears leave tracks

And mem'ries find their way back

Tomorrow's waiting let's journey there together



Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever



I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today

Yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting

We must forget the passing time

My love for you is the real kind

The kind that won't hurt you, oh never



Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever

Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever


RENAISSANCE lyrics - Flight



I watched you to fly away today

You held me close and turned away

And you were gone

I said I couldn't understand

Why you need a foreign land

What's wrong with home?



I need to breathe

Need to see what this life's got in store for me

Take a chance while I can

Not one also ran



[Chorus:]

I'm on a flight and its taking me closer

Home to a heart that's been left for so long

Time is all that holds me now

And the days have come and gone while I have flown

I'm coming home



I've read your letters, heard of your success

Does that mean happiness? Yes or no?

Temptation that lay across your path

Is it to much to ask to think of me?



I had to fight to be right

There was never a champion for me

Knights in armour don't exist

It's been such a risk



[Chorus 2x]



I'm on a flight and its taking me closer

Home to a heart that's been left for so long

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

I'm on a flight


ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Baby, Better Start Turnin' Em Down



(Rodney Crowell)



In this modern world we're livin' in

The rules ain't like they've ever been

Speakin' of spreading it thin

That's what you do, flashing your soul

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act with feelings

Baby, better start turnin' 'em down



Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in

Hanging out, out on the rock'n'roll fringe

Speaking of running around

All over town, lettin' it show

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act in public

Baby, you better start turnin' 'em down

Start to sturnin' down



Sire is clear ain't nothin' easy any more

Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions

Sure is rainin' like this feeling in my heart

Sure is crazy how you're acting



In this latest craze or current trent

Burnin' money every way that you can

Speakin' of going for broke

That's how it is and lettin' it show

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act with strangers

Baby, you better start turnin' 'em down

Start to turnin' down



Baby, better start turnin'

Baby, better start turnin'

Baby, better start turnin' 'em down


THE BANGLES lyrics - Watching The Sky



Watching the sky

And the moon we both lie under

Miles and miles between us

It makes me wonder

Are you watching the sky

Watching the sky, too.



You fly in circles

Around the dark side of your soul

While I'm flying in this airplane

With no sense of control

The black sky, it wraps around us

Like skin it keeps us whole

And are you watching the sky

Watching the sky, too.



Big hotel island in a small town

They send me flowers for my room

But tonight I'll drink their wine

Tonight I'm gonna have a good time.



Hanging on the telephone

As if it were my friend

Craving some of that sweetness

On the other end

I'll lay under the stars tonight

Instead of sleep, pretend

That you are watching the sky

Watching the sky, too.



(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching)

(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching).



Baby, are you watching the sky

Baby, are you watching the sky

Baby, are you watching the sky

Oh, are ya watching the sky?



(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching)

(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching)

(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching)

(Watching the sky, watching the sky, watching).


KING CRIMSON lyrics - Happy Family



(Fripp/Sinfield)



Happy family, one hand clap, four went by and none come back.

Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.

Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, "We'll blow our own canoes,"

Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo



Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up with their share of stock.

Silver Rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock, knock, knock.

Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round must surely spin;

Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out, "We're not Rin Tin Tin."



Uncle Rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus clothes

Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of weird

Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning knife.

Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back



Happy family, pale applause, each to his revolving doors.

Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude so sweet.

Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers win;

Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back


BOB DYLAN lyrics - The First Noel



(English carol, 17th century)



The first Noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay,

In fields where they lay

Keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night

That was so deep.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the East beyond them far,

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came from country far,

To seek for a King was their intent

And to follow the star

Wherever it went.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



This star drew nigh to the northwest

Over Bethlehem it took its rest,

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



Then did they know assuredly

Within that house the King did lie:

One entered in then for to see,

And found the Babe in poverty:

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



Then entered in those wise men three

Full reverently upon their knee,

And offered there in His presence

Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!



Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,

That hath made heaven

And earth of naught

And with His blood

Mankind hath bought.

Noel Noel Noel Noel!

Born is the King of Israel!


GREEN DAY lyrics - 80



My mental stability reaches its bitter end

And all my senses are coming unglued

Is there any cure for this disease someone called love

Not as long as there are girls like you



Everything she does questions my mental health

It makes me lose control

I just can't trust myself



If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me

But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself

Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated

So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall



Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone

And lock myself up in a padded room

I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air

No one wants to hear a drunken fool



Everything she does questions my mental health

It makes me lose control

I just can't trust myself



If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me

But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself

Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated

So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall



I do not mind if this goes on

Cause now it seems I'm too far gone

I must admit I enjoy myself

80 please keep taking me away



Everything she does questions my mental health

It makes me lose control

I just can't trust myself



If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me

But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself

Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated

So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall

AEROSMITH lyrics - Black Cherry



It be night time when shadows fade

She was dressed like a chamber maid

All decked out in silk and I took her

Like a cat takes to milk

Come here little Queenie or...

Has the cat got your tongue?

Can't let nobody see me

Come on girl while we're still young

'Cause there's never been no lover's knot

Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot

Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'

Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'



Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry

I like it, I like it, I like it



She looked sheik in a funky way

Tongue in cheek baby all the way

Home girls they got pride, she said

'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'

Come here little Queenie... or ah

Has the cat got your tongue?

My best shot for a C note baby she said

That's why this Janie's got a gun

Because there's nothin' like a good time girl

To take you twice around the world

I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'

So in love I think I'm slippin'



Down to the river, down to the river of love

Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep



Down to the river, down to the river

Abover 42nd Street it's so sad

That the bad don't come cheap



Because there's nothing like a good time girl

To take you twice around the world

Right to the land of milk and honey

Leave your troubles, bring your money



Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry

I like it, I like it, I like it


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Heart Hush



(Brett Jones)



His head turned and my heart jumped.

When I saw that it was him.

After two long years the love of my life.

And I just held my breath in.

Standin' there smiling.

While his eyes locked on mine.

He couldn't hear me screamin on the inside.



When I said, tear don't you fall.

He's done let him go.

Eye's don't look back.

Down that empty road.

And lips you may move.

But don't you say too much.

Oh and please, please heart hush.



I said somethin' stupid.

And reached out my hand.

After makin' love and movin' earth. We were shakin' hands.

A million sweet memoriers. Pinballed through my brain.

The want to hold him one more time. Ran through my veins.



When I said, tear don't you fall.

He's done let him go.

Eye's don't look back.

Down that empty road.

And lips you may move.

But don't you say too much.

Oh and please, please heart hush.



I kept lookin' at my watch like I had somewhere to be.

Then he stopped talkin' and kissed me tenderly.



When I said, tear don't you fall.

He's done let him go.

Eye's don't look back.

Down that empty road.

And lips you may move.

But don't you say too much.

Oh and please, please heart hush.


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - I've Been Here



(E. Shuman, M Vaucaire & C. Dumont)



Draw me no maps, vow me no vows

No they-perhaps, just here-and-nows

Tomorrow's dream is not my dream

It comes too late and I can't wait

The river runs with one remark

Get on your way, it's growing dark

And so I live to have my say

To get and give each burning day

And if in time I find my love

He'll find that I'm no frightened dove

For all too soon young love is passed

It's tender leaves fall off too fast

Each rising hill, each falling stream

Cause to fulfill each day's new dream

Some brighter road to fly along

Some stronger wine, some wilder song

And when I'm gone don't shed one tear

The world will know that I've been here!

GENESIS lyrics - Alien Afternoon



Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed

Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead

Read the daily paper have to know the truth

Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried

Gotta get to work on time

Gotta get to work on time



Then the sky turned a deeper blue

Not a cloud as the sun shone through

But all around rain kept falling to the ground

The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon



Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance

Before I start believing in what I see or hear

Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere

Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane

Gotta get away in time

Gotta get away in time



Then the sky turned from blue to green

Took on colours I have never seen

Then a sound started ringing in my ears

I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon



To be there back where I belong

To feel again the wind upon my face

To see again all that I took for granted

All that I left and everything I knew



We are home

We are your home

We are all your home



Not another alien afternoon



Never more to go wandering

Never leaving my world behind



There was never a reason

To leave my heart and my home behind

Where I was born is where I should be now

I would never be lonely

I would never be sad again



I wanted to go anywhere

I wanted to see how strange it all could be

Nothing would ever take me away again

Never more to go wandering

Never leaving my world behind

No, no, no, no

Nothing will ever take me away again, away again

No, no, no, no


JONI MITCHELL lyrics - The Hissing Of Summer Lawns



He bought her a diamond for her throat

He put her in a ranch house on a hill

She could see the valley barbecues

From her window sill

See the blue pools in the squinting sun

Hear the hissing of summer lawns



He put up a barbed wire fence

To keep out the unknown

And on every metal thorn

Just a little blood of his own

She patrols that fence of his

To a latin drum

And the hissing of summer lawns

Darkness

Wonder makes it easy

Darkness

With a joyful mask

Darkness

Tube's gone, darkness, darkness, darkness

No color no contrast



A diamond dog

Carrying a cup and a cane

Looking through a double glass

Looking at too much pride and too much shame

There's a black fly buzzing

There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice

Hissing summer lawns



He gave her his darkness to regret

And good reason to quit him

He gave her a roomful of Chippendale

That nobody sits in

Still she stays with a love of some kind

It's the lady's choice

The hissing of summer lawns


THE SEX PISTOLS lyrics - Problems



(J. Rotten, G. Matlock, S. Jones, P. Cook)



Too many problems oh why am I here

I don't need to be me

'cos you're all too clear

well and I can see

there's something wrong with you

but what do you expect me to do?.



At least I gotta know what I wanna be

don't come to me if you need pity



Are you lonely you got no-one

you get your body in suspension



That's no problem

problems, problems

the problem is you

what you gonna do with your problem

(what you gonna do problem)



Eat your heart out on plastic tray

you don't do what you want

then you'll fade away

You won't find me working nine to five

it's too mush fun a-being alive



I'm using my feet for my human machine

you won't find me living for the screen



Are you lonely all needs catered

you got your brains dehydrated



In a death trip I ain't automatic

You won't find me just staying static

Don't you give me any orders

for people like me there is no order.



Set you thought you had it all worked out

Bet you thought you knew what I was about

Set you thought

you'd solved all your problems

but you are the problem



Oh what you gonna do with your problem I'll

leave it to you problem the problem is you.

You got a problem Oh what you gonna do

they know a doctor gonna fake you away

they take you away and throw away the key

they don't want you and they don't want me

you got a problem the problem is you

problems what you gonna do... (etc.)

problem... (etc.)


10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Stockton Gala Days



(Music : Buck/Drew/Gustafson/Augustyniak/Merchant / Lyrics : Natalie Merchant)



That summer fields grew high with foxglove stalks and ivy.

Wild apple blossoms everywhere.

Emerald green like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me.

There was no girl as warm as you.



How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need,

You'll never, you'll never know.



The summer fields grow high.

We made garland crowns in hiding, pulled stems of flowers from my hair.

Blue in the stream like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me.

There was no girl as bold as you.



How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need,

You'll never, you'll never know.

You'll never know.



Violet serene like none I have set apart from dreams that escape me.

There was no girl as warm as you.



How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need.

You'll never, you'll never know.

You'll never know.



That summer fields grow high.

We had wildflower fever.

We had to lay down where they grow.



How I've learned to hide, how I've locked inside, you'd be surprised if shown.

But you'll never, you'll never know.

SMOKIE lyrics - Everytime You Go Away



(Paul Young)



Hey!, if we can solve any problem

Then why do we lose so many tears

Oh, and so you go again

When the leading man appears

Always the same thing

Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you



Go on and go free, yeah

Maybe you're too close to see

I can feel your body move

It doesn't mean that much to me

I can't go on sayin' the same thing

Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know



Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you



I can't go on sayin' the same thing

'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on





Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Last Chance



Well you take it all for granted,

So it should come as no surprise,

That your big balloon is gonna burst,

Right before your eyes.



Well you always call your mama,

Just for sympathy yeah,

But I tried to show you years ago,

So don't come crying to me.

Now it's your last chance the night is over,

Last chance for love,

Well you can blame it on the bosanova,

You can't blame me when I'm gone.

Well you call me up for favours,

You say that it's my turn,

Well I think I'll stand on my hard earned drive,

And watch your bridges burn.



Well I saw my Guardian Angel,

He said I can refuse,

Well I'd take the chance but it's hard to dance,

With size 8 concrete shoes.



Well you take it all for granted,

So it should come as no surprise,

That your big balloon is gonna burst,

Right before your eyes.


NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Ain't Got No Home



[Originally by Clarence "Frogman" Henry]



I ain't got no home

No place to roam

I ain't got a home

No place to roam

I'm a lonely boy

I ain't got a home



I ain't got no sister

I ain't got a brother

I ain't got a father

Not even a mother

I'm a lonely boy

I ain't got a home



Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo



Well, I got a voice

And I love to sing

I can sing like a bird

And I can sing like a frog

I'm a lonely boy

I ain't got a home



I ain't got a girl

I ain't got a son

I ain't got no kin

I ain't got no one

I'm a lonely frog

I ain't got a home



Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo



Madam, take me in

Let me be your friend

Won't you take me in

Let me be your friend

I'm a lonely boy

I ain't got a home



Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo


BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Slave To Love



Tell her I'll be waiting

In the usual place

With the tired and weary

And there's no escape



To need a woman

You've got to know

How the strong get weak

And the rich get poor



You're running with me

Don't touch the ground

We're restless hearted

Not the chained and bound



The sky is burning

A sea of flame

Though your world is changing

I will be the same



The storm is breaking

Or so it seems

We're too young to reason

Too grown up to dream



Now spring is turning

Your face to mine

I can hear your laughter

I can see your smile



No-I can't escape

I'm a slave to love

FATES WARNING lyrics - Something From Nothing



Some things burden me

These thoughts cut deep

Sometimes i feel

Sometimes i see



I won't close my eyes

I won't look away

We've chased our dreams

We've had our way



Stood here so long

I've forgotten what i was even looking for

Nothing changes

It's all the same if nothing changes, changes



I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed so much

I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed more



Standing alone

I see what i was looking for, for so long

It's not where i am

It's everywhere i've been and where i'm going



I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed so much

I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed more



Take....take from nothing

Take....take from everything

Take....take from nothing

Make it, make it, make it something

So it's more, so much more than i need

So much more, so much more



I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed so much

I thought i never needed

Everything i knew was wrong

I never thought i needed more


THE KINKS lyrics - Moments



Come on love

Let's forget about all the things that we've done wrong

Just remember all of the things that we've done right

I'm in no mood to argue and I'm in no mood to fight

So let the tears pass you by

Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry

And I ain't gonna let this big world get me down

I gotta learn to keep a hold of my head and keep my feet on the ground

Moments of ecstatic happiness

And the moments of stress that we had better forget

But love, I gotta feeling that I've said it all before

I said it before

I say I'll never do you wrong but then I go and do the same again

I don't know why, don't know why

Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why

We gotta learn to share these moments in our lives

And never let it get us down, we gotta put up a fight

Moments to remember all our lives

From the first brief hello to the last good-bye



I say I'll never do you wrong but then I go and do the same again

I don't know why, don't know why

Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why

We gotta learn to share these moments in our lives

And never let it get us down, we gotta put up a fight

Moments to remember all our lives

From the first brief hello to the last good-bye


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - I Won't Forget You



(Harlan Howard)



I know that I won't forget you for I've loved you too much for too long

Though you don't want me now I'll still love you till the breath in my body is gone

That's how it is with me and you'll always be the only love I ever knew

I'll forget many things in my lifetime but darling I won't forget you

[ guitar ]

That's how it is with me...

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Sudden Gift Of Fate



(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



Some people need to know what to expect

Need to keep control, need to keep one step

Ahead of every chance, as if chance decides

Who it's gonna pass, who it will reward

They don't understand, chances don't keep score

They just find us when we're there to find



And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate

you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate

It's not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned

You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate



Some people have never been the lonely kind

Never called a friend in the middle of the night

Just to hear a voice say it's okay

And now I hear you speak each and every word

That I didn't think lonely people heard

You took a long night and turned it into day



And so this has to be, a sudden gift of fate

you're nothing less to me than a sudden gift of fate

Its not as if it comes down to your turn that someone somewhere feels you've earned

You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate



You can celebrate, gifts are never late

You just learn to wait for sudden gifts of fate


ZZ TOP lyrics - Dipping Low (In The Lap Of Luxury)



I went around the world till I found the right spot.

It was ultra sweet and just a little bit hot.

Dippin' low in the lap of luxury.

Dippin' low in the lap of luxury.



Now if you get down there you'll be doin' it right.

Yeah, once you got it you better hold on tight.

Dippin' low in the lap of luxury.

Dippin' low in the lap of luxury.



Now if you wanna break down I'll hold my head up high.

I'm a good mechanic, I'll go over you in style.

Dippin low in the lap of luxury.

Dippin low in the lap of luxury.


SANTANA lyrics - Saja / Right On



(Joe Roccisano, E. Derouen, & Marvin Gaye)



Saja is an instrumental piece.

The following lyrics are for Right On.



Hey baby

That's all right people

I know that's all right

Oh when we love, Oh each other

I know that's all right

Oh feel it, feel it, Oh everybody

Feel it

God knows that's all right, yeah



Some of us were born with

Money to spend

Some of us were born with

Races to win, oh yeah

Some of us are aware that it's

Good to fuss and care, oh yeah

Some of us feel the icy wind of

Poverty blowing in the air



But those of us who simply

Like to socialize

For those of us who tend the

Sick and heed the people's cry

Let me say to you: Right on

Right on, feel it, yeah

Oh, Oh, Oh, People and I say right on

Right on honey, right on





For those of us who live yeah,

Well peace is craved

For those of us who live with hatred is enslaved

For those of us who live a life

Surrounded by good fortune and

Wealth, talk about it

For those of us who live a life

(hey, hey, hey) enjoying ourselves

For those of us who got drowned

In the sea of happiness

For the sould who takes pride in his

God and himself and everything else

That's all it is. We need love

Love, love, sweet love

Wonderful love

Oh, true love, love

Love for your brother and love,

Love for God

Love pure love

Oh, true love can cover hate every time

Give out some love and you'll find peace sublime

My darling, one more thing

If you let me, I will take you to live where love is king


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Jenny Rebecca



Jenny Rebecca, four days old

How do you like the world so far

Jenny Rebecca, four days old

What a lucky, lucky, lucky

Lucky girl you are

For you have swings to be swung on

Trees to be climbed up

Days to be young on

Toys you can wind up

Grass to be lying on

Sun up above

Pillows for crying on

When you're in love

Ponies for riding on

Wind in your hair

Slides to be sliding on

Leaves in the air

Dolls to be caring for

Love to be giving

Dreams to be daring for

Long as you're living

Yes, you have dreams to be daring for

Long as you're living

K. D. LANG lyrics - Summer Fling



(Piltch/Lang)



Early morning mid-july

Anticipation's making me high



The smell of sunday in our hair...

You ran on the beach with kennedy flair



Sweet, sweet burn

Of sun and summer wind

And you my friend

My new fun thing

My summerfling



Laugh...oh how we would laugh

At anything

And so pretend

Forsake the logic

Of perfect plans...

A perfect moment

Slipped through our hands



Sweet, sweet burn

Of sun and summer wind

And you my friend

My new fun thing

My summerfling



Strange...

The wind can change so quickly

Without a word of warning

Rearrange our lives

Until they're torn in two

HAWKWIND lyrics - Adjust Me



City black, encase the time

World full of men, who all are blind

Who walk and talk and say as one:

"Androids are we", their tune o sun

Adjust me

Adjust me

Adjust me.....


SPARKS lyrics - The Toughest Girl In Town



(Ron & Russell Mael)



She won't marry you

She don't look good in white

Don't try sweet talk

Unless you're hot for a fight

Still there's something that

Drives the guys half-insane

Ain't they heard that their love

For her is in vain



And all the guys in town

Just love to hang around

The toughest girl in town



Look outside and you'll see

The rain pouring down

That's the sign that

She's now on your side of town

Plan your life around

Someone proper and clean

That's the smart thing

But that means nothing to me



And all the guys in town

Just love to hang around

The toughest girl in town



She's not evil

She's just a little confused

All here life she's been

Set upon and abused

Given that, she's more interesting

Than the rest

Given that, she's the one

Who I love the best



And all the guys in town

Just love to hang around

The toughest girl in town


BESSIE SMITH lyrics - Keep It To Yourself



(Clarence Williams)



If your man is nice and sweet

Serving you lots of young pig meat

Oh yes, keep it to yourself



If you know you are standing fast

Got him worried where you at

Oh yes, keep it to yourself



He don't fall for no one

He don't call for no one

He don't give nobody none of his L. O.V. E.

'Cause it's yours



If your man is full of action

Givin' you lots of satisfaction

Oh yes, keep it to yourself



If you gotta have a kiss and a sweet

Makes me week way down in my knees

Oh yes, keep it to yourself



If he tries to treat you right

Give him lovin' every night

Oh yes, keep it to yourself



He don't fall for no one

He don't call for no one

He don't give nobody none of his L. O.V. E.

'Cause it's yours



With your man you got the best go

Don't broadcast it on nobody's radio!

Oh yes, keep it to yourself


PRINCE lyrics - Lady Cab Driver



Taxi! Taxi!



Lady cab driver - Can U take me 4 a ride?

Don't know where I'm goin' 'cuz I don't know where I've been

So just put your foot on the gas - let's drive

Lady - don't ask questions

Promise I'll tell U no lies

Trouble winds r blowin', I'm growin' cold

Get me outta here - I feel I'm gonna die



Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast

Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last



Lady - I'm so lonely

I know that's not the way 2 be

Don't want isolation, but the air it makes me cold

Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me

Take me 2 your mansion

Honey, let's go everywhere

Help me girl I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head

Will U accept my tears 2 pay the fare?



Lady cab driver, roll up your wndow fast

Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last



Lady cab driver - Can U take me 4 a ride?



Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast

Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last



This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all

This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall

This is 4 politicians who r bored and believe in war

This - Yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4

This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme

And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans

That 1's 4- That 1's 4- 4 U have 2 live

This 1's 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy -

The ones that don't know how 2 give

This 1's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland

And this 1- ooh! Yeah - That's the 1.

That's 4- that's 4 the - the creator of man

This is 4 the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at Disneyland

This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore

This is 4- and that's 4 U, and that's who that 1's 4

This is 4 the women, so beautifully complex

This 1's 4 love without sex

This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow

Not knowing where I'm going

This galaxy's better than not having a place 2 go

And now I know (I know)



Lady cab driver

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - I Can't Get Started



(Ira Gershwin / Vernon Duke)



Iv'e been around the world in a plane

I've settled revolutions in Spain

The North Pole I have charted

But man I can't get started with you

And at the golf course I'm under par

Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star

I've got a house and a show place

But can't get no place with you



You're so supreme

The lyrics I write of you

Dream, dream, day and night of you

Scheme just for the sight of you

Baby but what good dose it do

I've been consulted by Franklin D.

Even Gabel had me to tea

But now I'm broken hearted

Can't get started with you



You're so supreme

The lyrics I write of you

Dream, dream, day and night of you

Scheme just for the sight of you

But what good does it do

I've been consulted by Franklin D.

Even Basic had me to tea

But now I'm broken hearted

Can't get started with you


KISS lyrics - Mr. Speed



You need lovin', you're lookin' out for new romances

Yeah, it's true, you know you've got to take your chances

When I laugh, well baby don't you know you can cry

'Cause you ain't enough lady,

to keep the master satisfied, yeah

Well, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need

The kind of lovin' that you need

I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed

They call me Mr. Speed

You try pleasin', but gettin' on your knees don't make it

You try teasin', but baby you can't even fake it, no

Made it clear, but baby you can't even see me

So stop those tears 'cause baby

Yeah, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need

The kind of lovin' that you need

I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed

B. B. KING lyrics - Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't (My Baby)



(Lovie Austin / Louis Jordan)



I gotta a girl who's always late

Anytime we have a date

But I love her

Yes I love her

I'm gonna walk up to her gate

And see if I can get it straight



'Cause I want her

I'm gonna ask her

Is you is, or is you ain't, my baby

The way you're acting lately makes me doubt

You is still my baby, baby



Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out

A woman is a creature that has always been strange

Just when you're sure of one you find

She's gone and made a change

Is you is, or is you ain't my baby



Maybe baby's found somebody new

Or is my baby still my baby true


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Maine



Relaxing on my hands and knees

Relaxing on my face

Reclining in the bear-trap of its tender warm embrace

Glazed with coniferous green

Glazed with excitement and dread

Exhausted from oversleep

Awake but still in bed



The shaving razor's rusty but the sting brings you exactly back to

Maine

Is the world that went south

Maine

Is a punch in the mouth

Maine

At the top of the chart

Has crushed my evil heart

Maine

Is the devil you know

Maine

Is the heaven below

Maine

At the top of the chart

Has crushed my evil heart



I love you anyway (I love you anyway)

I promise there's no other state (there's no other state)

But only if you stay away (but only if you leave)

And leave me to my ugly state (me to my ugly state)



And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you are in

Maine

Is the world that went south

Maine

Is a punch in the mouth

Maine

At the top of the chart

Has crushed my evil heart

Maine

Is the poison you love

Maine

Is the hell from above

Maine

At the top of the chart

Has crushed my evil heart


THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Leave It Behind



Rage burns can't push it aside now

Can't forgive this grudge is alive now

All the rage eats you up inside

Can you leave it behind

What a surprise -

You're fucked with again Yeah

It's a way of life you need to get over

All the rage just eats you alive

Can you leave it behind

I don't know where it'll end

The sun has set

And I can't be friends

I don't know if I can forgive

The day is long

But you were so dead wrong

THE RAMONES lyrics - Babysitter



She says she's babysitting tonight She says come over, it's alright



On the couch with my special one But don't tell me what we won't have fun

On the couch with my special one But don't tell me what we won't have fun



She says she's babysitting tonight She says come over, it's alright



Yeah, ya know we'll have the TV on Aren't we glad that the folks are gone

Yeah, ya know we'll have the TV on Aren't we glad that the folks are gone



She went to see if the kids were asleep

She says they're quiet expect for one little creep



We can't start kissing and I'll tell you why

We can't start kissing 'cause the kid's a little spy



She says she's babysitting tonight She says come over, it's alright



She says she's babysitting tonight She says come over, it's alright



Allright

ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - After The Oceans Are Gone



We spend our nights in shared dreams

wrapped in a jade green mist

our hearts running wild, as the spirit is free

nothing compares to this

can you picture this a beauty unexplained

all the stories every told revealing



[Chorus I]:

After the ocean is gone

where do we go what do we do

can we carry on in a world without love

can I carry on in a world without you



Oooh



A message came to us all

across a moonlit sky

a love flowing endlessly

soft as a virgin sigh

can you picture this, a beauty unexplained

all the stories ever told revealing



[Chorus I]



[Chorus II]:

After the oceans are gone

what will we do where will we be

will we carry on in a world without blue

will you carry on in a world without me

Oooh, Oooh



Bring your out-thereness in here

in here, in here.



Don't be afraid to be yourself

love and light will wash away your tears

in here



We are all stars in the night

fish in the mountain stream

no reason to cry

nothing is as it seems

can you picture this, a beauty unexplained

all the stories ever told revealing



[Chorus I]



[Chorus II 2x]


FAITH NO MORE lyrics - I Won't Forget You



It only tickles now,

I used to kick and shout

Now I just cling to the????

Footprints gone,

you never love someone

Only what they leave behind And I won't forget you,

And I won't forget you,

And I won't forget you,

And I won't when I'm in hell I'm taking all those things,

The things that no one brings

The packing of those memories

And when I come up the Mountain of Needles

And I swim in a Lake of Blood

NO!

And I won't forget you

When I'm in hell I won't forget you


JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - One More Chance



(The Corporation)



Everybody loves the star

When hes on the top

But noone ever comes around

When he starts to drop



But you were someone special

You stuck through thick and thin

But I was much too busy

Trying to shine

To let your love shine in



Let you slip away

I must have been insane

Stop in the name of love

Dont make me live my life in vain



[Chorus:]

Give me one more chance

Thats all I ask of you

Just one more chance

Ill make it up to you

Just one more chance

Thats all I ask of you

Ill build you a world for two

Ill make it up to you



Now since Im all alone

Im talking to myself

I know youre out there somewhere

Having fun with someone else



But a distant voice of hope

Echo from within, sayin

(Dont give up)

(Your ship is comin' in)



Though my ships alone

Ill play right to the end

Im crying outside

Heavens door

Wont you let me back in



Youll never know

What Ive been through

Let your love shine in again

This time Ill shine with you


J. J. CALE lyrics - My Cricket



Yes I was just thinking

About you today

And the evening

We slept in the mountains

I cannot get trough to you

No I cannot find the words to say to you

Oh darling, you're so far away

I'm not crying

These ain't tears in my eyes

I'm so happy

Dying with laughter

If you'd only come over

I'm sure that you'd see

We're not lonesome

My cricket and me



Your picture

Reminds me

I wanted to be free

I hurt you and drove you away

If you'd just come on back over

I'm sure that you'd see

We're not lonesome

My cricket and me


PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Street In The City



Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

There's a man up on that ledge. He's only cleaning windows.

What a shame, who's to blame, for the pain with his sin,

Going to lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.



See that man going in the bank with a blue suit?

He's carrying a bag full of very important papers.

There's old Mac trying to busk with his new flute.

Did you read about the Cambridge raper?



Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

Those girls pass every day. They seem to think I'm funny.

It's just a game that they're playing till they can claim their personal man.

Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for her knickers to fall.



See that woman with a bun in her hair?.

Don't she know that ain't still done anywhere?

See that man going in the Wig and Pen?

He was charged with telling lies again.



I see the world go by as I lean against my wall.

I watch as Fleet Street makes new heroes rise and fall.

The news is written in the eyes of us all.

On is a sinner. One is a saint, but most of us worry about showing up late.



I'm gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.



Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.

There's a man up on that ledge. He's only cleaning windows.

What a shame. Who's to blame for the pain?

VANESSA WILLIAMS lyrics - Silent Night



Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night!

Son of God love's pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Sally Comes Around



(Jennifer Blake)



She was alone, alone again

Living in her broken world

She found out love was just a game

For a young and foolish



'It doesn't matter', I heard her say

'Love is no friend of mine'

And it's so hard to forget her past

So cruel and so unkind

She needs to be needed

Love's hard to find



[Chorus:]

Oh when Sally comes around

Oh don't let her down

When Sally comes around downtown

She wears a wounded heart

Like a fallen crown

She's tough with a heart of gold

Oh when Sally comes around

There's a burning flame

Deep in her heart I know

She's searching in the dark

Through the falling rain

She's tough with a heart of gold



A lonely girl is home again

And everyone knows your name

It feels so good to have you around

Things have never been the same

So hang on in, don't you cry

Sally, you're among your friends

Ain't no way to hide your Joy

And no way to hide your pain

No need to be needed

Again and again



[Chorus]

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - I'm Def



Can we do that?

Can we do that?



I'm def

I'm def

I'm def

I'm listening to the radio



Got a job as a test pilot

Yes I got a job as a test pilot



I'm def

I never listen to the

I never listen to

I never listen to the ra-



I'm def



Got a job as a test pilot

Yes I got a job as a test pilot



I'm listening to the radio



We have our own song and we want to get it recorded

We have our own song and we want to get it recorded

We have our own song and we want to get it recorded

We have our own song and we want to get it recorded

We have our own song and we want to get it recorded


T. REX lyrics - My Little Baby



Where did you go my little baby

Where did you go my little baby

Where did you go my little baby

From here, from here



Walking down the streets like a mad hatter

Lunacy's back but does it really matter

Watch out my man, my lady's coming

Back to me



If your sting was like a bee

Would you die only for me

If you go across the sea

Would you come back to me



Deception dissolves like a mind rainbow

Sunset was dumped dark inside my bedroom

Barracuda blue, won't you give

My baby to me



If you go across the sea

Would you come back to me

If your sting was like a bee

Would you die only for me



Where did you go my little baby


BAD RELIGION lyrics - Strange Denial



A mutinous enemy carved a nascent country

Sweat, blood, and valor

Forms the grit of our history

Beqeathed to everyone:

Chance and free expression

Substance was restrained

And the spirit was broken

I feel a strange denial

Rythmic as a change

Constance as time

Lonely

Insistent whispers

Somber as a wave bye bye

Searching for solution, without constitution

Blackcoats by our sides

Promising salvation

Advocating dogma as tickets to hereafter

Mortals in their prime

With their desperate hands in the air

Daunting

Complex and burning

Rythmic as change

Constant as time

Conflicts

Craving approval

Weighted as a murder trial

Oh I feel a strange denial

Correct is Consensus

Everything else, nonsense

Forward is the hope

Forget recompense

Peace and tranquility is only for the wealthy

Dearth for the massses

And inequality

I feel a strange denial

Rythmic as change

Constant as time

Lonely

Insistent whispers

Dissipating in the night

Like a lone forgotten light

And no one is helping me

It's a strange denial


R. E.M. lyrics - Laughing



Laocoon and her two sons

Pressured storm, tried to move

No other more, emotion bound

Martyred, misconstrued



Lighted in a room, lanky room

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune

Lighted, lighted, laughing



Laocoon and her two sons

Run the gamut, sated view

Know them more, emotion bound

Martyred, misconstrued



Lighted in a room, lanky room

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune

Lighted, lighted, laughing



In a room, lock the door, latch the room

Lighted, lighted, laughing



Laocoon and her two sons

Ran the gamut, settled new,

Find a place fit to laugh,

Lock the doors, latch the room

Lighted in a room, lanky room

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes


NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Little Love Affairs



(Words By Nanci Griffith, Music By James Hooker)



When I wake in the night and find

That I'm dreaming

You're the first thought in mind

Love's a fair weather friend when

You're lonely

You are my summer state of mind



[Chorus:]

Does it sing to you nightly?

Does it lay down beside you?

Does it make you hear songs

On the radio?

It once was my shadow... grown

Weary of travel

Till you gave it home



What makes the love grow... when

The seasons change?

What makes the love grow?

It's simple... it comes... and it grows on

It's own



[Chorus]

ABBA lyrics - Rock 'N' Roll Band



Sitting in the darkest corner

in the candle-light I saw her face

she was looking so sad and lonely

someone help me, someone save me

I could see the look she gave me, oh

oh yeah, and there was one thing only

that I knew I could do



Let's go girl

it's a beautiful place this world

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band

let's go now

let me show you that I know how

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band



You've been sitting there for hours

tryin' to hide behind the flowers now

baby, we could have fun together

come on, cheer up let's get started

no use being broken-hearted now

oh yeah, you're gonna feel much better

yes I know that you will



Let's go girl

it's a beautiful place this world

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band

let's go now

let me show you that I know how

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band

come on baby let's dance

to the rock'n roll band

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Do It



She comes sneakin' up thinkin' I'm sleepin', ya'll

And I met her at the back door

I handed her her suitcase, told her don't come back no more

She turned as she was leavin', and she looked dead straight at me

She said if you think I can't find me another man, honey, you must be crazy



Do it

You better leave while you can, honey, better get to it

The place where you been stayin' has become the place you ain't

And everything's in your suitcase except your wig, hat, powder and paint



A friend of mine used to run one time with a gal named Lou

There seemed to be no end, ya'll, to the evil she could do

She took him for everything he had, and then she called him a clown

They put that boy in Huntsville 'cause he shot that woman down



Do it

Got a real good idea, honey, better get to it

I thought you was an angel, you're a Jezebel instead

I don't want no cheatin', lyin' woman sleepin' in my bed



She was 19 years old, ya'll, her mother's only child

And she did not have no shame

Took my money, hard earned money

And spent it all on five other men



So do it

Better leave while you can honey, better get to it

I thought you was an angel, but you a Jezebel instead

I don't want no cheatin', lyin' woman, sleepin' in my bed


SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - Slip Slidin' Away



[Chorus:]

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away



Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown

He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown

He said Dolores, I live in fear

My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear



[Chorus]



I know a woman, (who) became a wife

These are the very words she uses to describe her life

She said a good day ain't got no rain

She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed

And I think of things that might have been



[Chorus]



And I know a father who had a son

He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done

He came a long way just to explain

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping

Then he turned around and he headed home again



[Chorus]



Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan

The information's unavailable to the mortal man

We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay

Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away



[Chorus 2x]

THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP lyrics - It's Gonna Work Out Fine



(Seneca/Lee)



Oh oh darling, you're starting to get next to me

Oh darling, I never thought that this could be, oh yeah

Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire

Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine



Oh oh darling, I've been to see the preacher man

Oh darling, I've started making wedding plans, oh yeah

Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire

Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine



I keep on telling you, baby

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

Oh stop what you're doing to me baby

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

I can feel it coming on

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

Oh I'm so glad that you're mine, all mine



Remember you used to call me dapper Dan

Oh I was your real, your real ever loving man, oh yeah

Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire

Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine



I keep on telling you, baby

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

Oh stop what you're doing to me baby

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

I can feel it coming on

(I think it's gonna work out fine)

Oh I'm so glad that you're mine, all mine



Remember you used to call me Dapper Dan

I was your real, your real ever loving man, oh yeah

If your love is half as true as the love I offer you

Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine


BRIAN ENO lyrics - It's A Long Way Down



It's a long way down

We're leaning over the side

Far beyond now

The days go dark in turn



We're a long way out

We're turning in uneven sun

Long after life

This world, still blue, still turns


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much



Maybe it's because I love you too much

Maybe that is why you love me so little



Maybe when I answered, yes

Maybe I became a bore

Maybe if I loved you less

Maybe you would love me more



Maybe it's because I've kissed you too much

Maybe that is why my kiss means so little



Maybe with a love so great and a love so small

Maybe I'll be left with no love at all


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Son Of A Bitch



(Box/Daisley/Goalby/Kerslake/Sinclair)



Hear the son of the bitch

He's the son of a fool

Sign of the times

No exception against the rule

He's down on his luck

He's down on his knees

Cut really deep

He knows how to bleed



Hear the son of the dark

You'll see him run with the pack

He won't look you in the eyes

He'll stab you in the back

The son of the dark

Only runs with the pack

He'll take your life

He won't look back



Son of a - he's a son of a bitch

He's a son of a - he's a son of a bitch



Hear the woman of the streets

She never learned how to cry

She'll spread her wings

He'll never fly

Woman of the night

She hangs like a bat

She'll scratch at your eyes

Fight like a cat



Hear the lost, hear the lonely

Hear the fool, that won't get to see

Hear the lost, hear the lonely

And don't pity me, don't pity me



Son of the bitch

He's a son of a - Oh, the son of a bitch



Listen to the son of the poor

The son of the rich

The son of the dark

The son of the bitch

Woman of the night

Hangs like a bat

She'll scratch at your eyes

She fights like a cat



Hear the son of the bitch

He's the son of a fool

A sign of the times

No exception against the rule

Down on his luck

Down on his knees

Cut really deep

So he knows how to bleed



He's a sign of the times

He's the son of a, son of a... bitch

The son of a bitch


TONY BENNETT lyrics - Can You Find It In Your Heart



I want your eyes to see my eyes

I want your lips to touch my lips

I want your love to be my love forever more



Can you find it in your heart to forgive me

I was thoughtless heaven knows I acted badly

But the love I once gave to you so gladly

Can you find it in your heart



Can't we make another start, please forgive me

I'm repenting and your arms alone can save me

So if carelessly I lost the love you gave me

Can you find it in your heart



Day and night I want your eyes to see my eyes

I want your lips to touch my lips

I want your love to be my love forever more

And never never more to part



Must you tell me that it's over, think it over

Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason

And my darling if your mind can't find the reason

Can you find it in your heart



Must you tell me that it's over, think it over

Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason

And my darling if your mind can't find the reason

Can you find it in your heart

Can you find it in your heart


TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Swingin'



(Tom Petty)



Well, she was standing by the highway

In her boots and silver spurs

Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon

When a Cadillac stopped for her

And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"

Yeah, that's when it happened

The world caught fire that day



And she went down swingin'

Yeah, she went down swingin'



Well, she was over twenty-one

In trouble with the law

And it didn't faze her none

She called her mother-in-law

And said I need a little money

I knew I could count on you

After that night in Vegas

And the hell that we went through



We went down swingin'

Like Benny Goodman

Yeah, we went down swingin'



Moonlight on the interstate

She was 'cross the Georgia line

Looked out the window feeling great

Yeah, it had to come in time

And she said I'm never goin' back

She said at last I'm free

I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me



She went down swingin'

Like Glenn Miller

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Tommy Dorsey

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Sammy Davis

She went down swingin'

Like Sonny Liston

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Blue Eyes



Blue eyes

Baby's got blue eyes

Like a deep blue sea

On a blue blue day

Blue eyes

Baby's got blue eyes

When the morning comes

I'll be far away

And I say



Blue eyes

Holding back the tears

Holding back the pain

Baby's got blue eyes

And she's alone again



Blue eyes

Baby's got blue eyes

Like a clear blue sky

Watching over me

Blue eyes

I love blue eyes

When I'm by her side

Where I long to be

I will see



Blue eyes laughing in the sun

Laughing in the rain

Baby's got blue eyes

And I am home, and I am home again


CAROLE KING lyrics - Walk With Me (I'll Be Your Companion)



I am me - who are you

I'm on my way to somewhere through tomorrow

If that's where you're going, too

Would you care to walk with me today

Living for the moment - feelin' what I feel

Nowhere in particular to go

And nothing to conceal



Walk with me - I'll be your companion

I may not have an awful lot to say

You can be anything you want to

And anytime you want to walk away - it's okay



Chances come - fortunes go

And I don't know what lies beyond the crossroad

Since I'm tryin' to travel light

I got no past or future on my mind

Through all my reflections - one thing is plain to see

Knowin' I am not alone

Means more than anything to me

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - I Still Miss Someone



(J. Cash, R. Cash)



At my door the leaves are falling

The cold wild wind will come

Sweethearts walk by together

And I still miss someone



I go out to wild the parties

And look for a little fun

But I find the darkened corner

'Cause I still miss someone



Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone



Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone


BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - All My Life



It's been a long long time

Thought you were a friend of mine

Holding on the end of the line

I've been waiting for you

Seen the way the wind is blowing

Look around and i don't know

If the time is right or wrong

I've been waiting so long



All my life

All my life

All my life

I've been waiting

All my life

All my life

All my life

I've been waiting for you



Can't get away, can't get away

Can't get away from your love



I've been searching up and down

Watching as the world goes round

Just another boy in town

I was looking for love



See the way the rain is falling

Black as night and i keep calling

Your name out loud

I walk on and on and on and on...



All my life

All my life

All my life

I've been waiting

All my life

All my life

All my life

I've been waiting for you



All my life...


STEVIE WONDER lyrics - One Little Christmas Tree



One little Christmas tree was standing alone

Waiting for someone to come by

One little Christmas tree that never had grown

Cried as he looked up to the sky



Oh please Mr Father tree, the tallest of all

I'm so afraid and alone

Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small

Light up someone's home 'cause



One little Christmas tree can light up a home

So one little child can find a toy

One little Christmas tree can light up a home

So one little heart can find some joy



One little angel who was riding a star

Cried as she looked down at the tree

Oh please Mr Father tree wherever you are

May I give him the star you gave to me



Then in the heavens came a voice from afar

A voice that was heard throughout the world

Go down little angel girl and give him your star

Tonight he'll light the world 'cause



One little Christmas tree can light up the world

So those who are lost may find their way

One little Christmas tree can light up the world

So all men may see you on Christmas Day


JOHN PRINE lyrics - Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore



While digesting Reader's Digest

In the back of a dirty book store,

A plastic flag, with gum on the back,

Fell out on the floor.

Well, I picked it up and I ran outside

Slapped it on my window shield,

And if I could see old Betsy Ross

I'd tell her how good I feel.



[Chorus:]

But your flag decal won't get you

Into Heaven any more.

They're already overcrowded

From your dirty little war.

Now Jesus don't like killin'

No matter what the reason's for,

And your flag decal won't get you

Into Heaven any more.



Well, I went to the bank this morning

And the cashier he said to me,

"If you join the Christmas club

We'll give you ten of them flags for free."

Well, I didn't mess around a bit

I took him up on what he said.

And I stuck them stickers all over my car

And one on my wife's forehead.



[Chorus]



Well, I got my window shield so filled

With flags I couldn't see.

So, I ran the car upside a curb

And right into a tree.

By the time they got a doctor down

I was already dead.

And I'll never understand why the man

Standing in the Pearly Gates said...



"But your flag decal won't get you

Into Heaven any more.

We're already overcrowded

From your dirty little war.

Now Jesus don't like killin'

No matter what the reason's for,

And your flag decal won't get you

Into Heaven any more."


GREG BROWN lyrics - Night



(Music by Greg Brown / poem of William Blake)



The sun descending in the West,

The evening star does shine;

The birds are silent in their nest,

And I must seek for mine.

The moon, like a flower

In heaven's high bower,

With silent delight,

Sits and smiles on the night.



Farewell, green fields and happy groves,

Where flocks have took delight,

Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves

The feet of angels bright;

Unseen, they pour blessing,

And joy without ceasing,

On each bud and blossom,

And each sleeping bosom.



They look in every thoughtless nest

Where birds are covered warm;

They visit caves of every beast,

To keep them all from harm:

If they see any weeping

That should have been sleeping,

They pour sleep on their head,

And sit down by their bed.



When wolves and tigers howl for prey,

They pitying stand and weep;

Seeking to drive their thirst away,

And keep them from the sheep.

But, if they rush dreadful,

The angels, most heedful,

Receive each mild spirit,

New worlds to inherit.



And there the lion's ruddy eyes

Shall flow with tears of gold:

And pitying the tender cries,

And walking round the fold:

Saying: 'Wrath by His meekness,

And, by His health, sickness,

Is driven away

From our immortal day.



'And now beside thee, bleating lamb,

I can lie down and sleep,

Or think on Him who bore thy name,

Graze after thee, and weep.

For, washed in life's river,

My bright mane for ever

Shall shine like the gold,

As I guard o'er the fold.'

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Move On Alone



I feel so sad now that she's gone,

I've been loving that woman too long.

There is no place to go because my friends have all moved,

Got nothing but sit in the sun.

Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone.



My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold,

guess I'll just die before I grow old.

The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt,

I just grown tired of thinking.

Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone.


DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Stir It Up



Stir it up, little darlin',

Stir it up, oh, yeah

Stir it up, little darlin'



It's been a long long time

Since I had you on my mind

Now you are here, it's so very clear

There's so much we can do

Just me and you



Come on, stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, oh, yeah

Stir it up, little darlin'



I'll push the wood, light the fire

Oh, I'll satisfy your heart's desire

I will stir it every, every minute



All you have to do, girl is

Stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, oh yeah

Stir it up, little darlin'



I said I'll push the wood, light the fire

Oh, satisfy your heart's desire

Girl, I'll stir it every, every minute



All you have to do

Stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, little darlin'

Stir it up, little darlin'

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Peace In The Neighbourhood



Best Thing I Ever Saw

Was A Man Who Loved His Wife

In A Place Where Things Were Good

I Felt Peace In The Neighbourhood



That Feeling In The Air

Something Was Definitely There

It Was A Time When Things Were Good

I Felt Peace In The Neighbourhood



I Was There, I Really Was.

At The Centre Of A Love Vibration.

People Sharing With Their Friends.

Helping Each Other Out

Peace In The Neighbourhood

Helping Each Other Out



Then I Woke Up From My Dream

To See Things As They Really Are

People Struggling To Survive

How Can Peace Hope To Stay Alive?



Well I Was There...I Felt So Good

At The Centre Of A Love Vibration.

People Caring For Their World

Helping Each Other Out.

Peace In The Neighbourhood

Helping Each Other Out.

Peace In The Neighbourhood

Helping Each Other Out.



Best Thing I Ever Saw

I Saw A Man Who Loved His Wife.



Peace In The Neighbourhood

Helping Each Other Out.

Peace In The Neighbourhood.


BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Can't Get Close Enough



How many tears must we cry before learning,

Things that we have they're for real and we're losing,

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.



Why do you believe that we've got something coming,

You took it all, left me standing here with nothing,

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away,

Too far away.



In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive,

Taking all and giving nothing that's a crime.

What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too,

You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.



All I need is understanding and the right to survive,

Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by.

What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too,

You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.

Too far away.

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.



How many tears must we cry before learning,

Things that we had they're for real and we're losing,

Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.

Too far away, too far away, too far away.


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - This Offer Is Unrepeatable



DON'T SEND ANY MONEY!

Fate has no price

Ignore at your peril this splendid advice

An invaluable link in an infinite chain

An offer like this will just not come again

You wish you had women to charm and bewitch

Power of life and death over the rich young girls will

be swooning

Because you're exciting them

And not only fall at your feet but be biting them



Guaranteed, guaranteed to capture your breath

Or just possibly scare you to death



Sign it and seal it and send it to friends

But don't mention my name

Don't make any long term plans



In thirty-six hours your fortunes will change

Your best friends won't know you

And neither will strangers

Do not keep this letter

It must leave your hand

You have been selected from over five thousand



A twister or dupe will bamboozle or hoodwink you

I can't say more it would only confuse you

The wine that they offer will go to your head

And you'll start to see double in fishes and bread



Guaranteed, guaranteed for a lifetime or more

Guaranteed, for this world and the next

Guaranteed, guaranteed for the world and its mother

Cherish this life as you don't get another one



UNLESS you should take up this fabulous offer

Don't leave it too late or you'll be bound to suffer

And woebetide anyone so woebegone

You won't know you're born or about to pass on



You'll never get tired

You'll never get bored

By the way I just hope you're insured



And if you're not satisfied

If you want more

We can always provide an improved overture

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable



Your trouble will vanish

Your tears will dry

Your blessing will just multiply

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable



Guaranteed, guaranteed to bring fortune and favor

In a riot of colours, (a variety of) and flavours

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable



Would I lie to you? Would I sell you a dud?

Just sign on the line. Could you possibly write it in

blood?

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Accidentally Like A Martyr



(Warren Zevon)



The phone don't ring

And the sun refused to shine

Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly

For what was already mine

For such a long, long time



We made mad love

Shadow love

Random love

And abandoned love

Accidentally like a martyr

The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder



The days slide by

Should have done, should have done, we all sigh

Never thought I'd ever be so lonely

After such a long, long time

Time out of mind



We made mad love

Shadow love

Random love

And abandoned love

Accidentally like a martyr

The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder


DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Bad Girls



Bad girls

Talking about the sad girls

Sad girls

Talking about bad girls, yeah



See them out on the street at night, walkin'

Picking up on all kinds of strangers

If the price is right

You can't score if you're pocket's tight

But you want a good time

You ask yourself who they are

Like everybody else

They come from near and far

Bad girls, yeah



Bad girls

Talking about the sad girls, yeah

Sad girls

Talking about bad girls, yeah



Friday night and the strip is hot

Sun's gone down and they're out to trot

Spirit's high and legs look hot

Do you wanna get down

Now don't you ask yourself who they are

Like everybody else, they wanna be a star



Bad girl

Sad girl, you're such a naughty bad girl

Beep-Beep, uh-uh

You bad girl you sad girl

Your such a dirty bad girl

Beep-Beep, uh-uh



Now you and me we're both the same

But you call yourself by different names

Now your mama won't like it when she finds out

That her girl is out at night



Hey, Mister, have you got a dime

Mister, do you want to spent some time

Oh, yeah

I got what you want, you got what I need

I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me

Hey, Mister

I'll spend some time with you


MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Ill Wind Blowing



(Ian Hunter)



Across the naked desert

That housed a million hurts

But I heard a voice call unto me

"beware", is what it said

You're asking all the questions

That is dangerous to do

For you ain't got any answers

And your time is nearly through



There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And I see my world going

From a beauty to a beast

And the time is getting nearer to 1974

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore



And the fortunes fading from my face

And I feel a thousand fears

How many know that illness grows

It never disappears

And I wonder when the medicine man

Knows that they are sane

They qualified in genocide

And specialise in pain



There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And I see my world going

From a beauty to a beast

And the time is getting nearer to 1974

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore



There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And if my redeemer lay there

Then he's fighting with a priest

And the time is getting nearer

To the opening of the door

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore



(See you later)


DAVID CROSBY lyrics - In My Dreams



(David Crosby)



[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar + Electric Guitar)]



Look at those dancers gliding around

Seems if their feet

Don't hardly touch the ground



Look at them smiling

Like they knew one another

And they never would come down



Turn around and hold me

I'd like to see your face alone

I'm hoping there's someone home



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]



I'd like to meet you

Who do you see?

Introduce yourself to whichever of me is nearby



Close behind your eyes you're laughing at me

And I'm stuck here with no instructions that I can see

To steer by



Stick around it's tricky ground

I'd like to see your face alone

I'm hoping there's someone home



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]



Two or three people fading in and out

Like a radio station that I'm thinking about

But I can't hear



Who gets breakfast? Who gets the lunch?

Who gets to be the boss of this bunch?

Who will steer?



Turning, turning

To see your face alone

I'm hoping there's someone home



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]



Dream

Do you dream

Dreaming

Do you?



Dream

Do you dream

Dreaming

Do you?



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love

That could be



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love

That could be



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)] Ba, ba, da, da... ah, ah...



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love

That could be



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love

That could be



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love

That could be



In my dreams

I can see, I can

I can see a love


DREAM THEATER lyrics - Peruvian Skies



(John Petrucci)



There, there it is

I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid

Wait, I hear it again

Don't turn on the lights until we

Hear the way it ends



Under Peruvian skies

Vanessa regretfully waits

The story unfolds in her eyes

Where midnight hysteria's

No big surprise

Battered and bruised

Always confusing

The love that she's losing for hate

Poor Vanessa

Poor, poor Vanessa



Hey, I hope you know

I'm taking all of this with me when I go

Shame, you're not to blame

I'm the monster you created

In your daddy's name



Under Peruvian skies

Vanessa regretfully waits

The story unfolds in her eyes

Where midnight hysteria's

No big surprise

Battered and bruised

Always confusing

The love that she's losing for hate

Poor Vanessa

Poor Vanessa



Terror by night

Liar by day

Telling her secrets

Won't take them away



Under Peruvian skies

Vanessa regretfully waits

The story unfolds in her eyes

Where midnight hysteria's

No big surprise

Battered and bruised

Always confusing

The love that she's losing for hate
