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
Lady cab driver
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

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
