COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - No Long Journey Home

This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no trip across the tracks.

This ain't no dead end street

There ain't no turning back.

This ain't no long journey home.



Another tale about an aging man,

A tried but twisted plot,

Another hero finding out that he's not.

Act one we watch the onion peel.

Act two the tragic flaw revealed.

In three we close our eyes as his fate's sealed.



This ain't no long journey home.



Here's a story about a once young girl

Whose life has turned to rot.

Thought she found her dreams but she had not.

Act one we see her bold and strong.

Act two we watch her fumble along.

In three we close our eyes as all goes wrong.



This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no trip across the tracks.

This ain't no dead end street

There ain't no turning back.

This ain't no long journey home.



A cautionary tale for all who come this way,



A warning writ in water.

Act one you'll see it all so clear.

Act two you'll watch it disappear.

In three open your eyes and stare down your fears.



'Cause this ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.

This ain't no long journey home.

THE POGUES lyrics - Kitty

(Traditional)



Oh Kitty, my darling, remember

That the doom will be mine if I stay

'Tis far better to part, though it's hard to

Than to rot in their prison away

'Tis far better to part, though it's hard to

Than to rot in their prison away



So softly he then kissed her pale lips

'Twas the same story over an o'er

Hush Mavourneen, the police are watching

And you know that I must go ashore

Hush Mavourneen, the police are watching

And you know that I must go ashore



In a day I'll be over the mountain

There'll be time enough left for to cry

So good night and God guard you forever

And write to me won't you, good bye

So good night and God guard you forever

And write to me won't you, good bye

DIANNE REEVES lyrics - Straighten Up And Fly Right

[Originally by Nat King Cole]



A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on the square

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said-- Now listen, Jack



Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin'

What's the use in jivin'

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.



The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me

Release your hold and I'll set you free

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said

Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie



Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.



[Instrumental interlude]



Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

WARLOCK lyrics - Mr. Gold

See the master of evil

Diamonds in his eyes

Finger-tips like a needle

Stab you from behind



He'll pay any price

To buy your heart and soul

He makes a deal with heaven

All he wants is your life



No mercy for Mr. Gold!

No mercy don't shake hands With the devil

Dreams are not for sale!



He bleeds you white

To kill your dignity

He makes a deal with heaven

All he wants is your life!



No mercy for Mr. Gold!

Dreams are not for sale

No mer-cy

No mercy for Mr. Gold!

Dreams are not for sale

Ne's a stranger!

Stranger in my world

See the master of evil

Diamonds in his eyes

Fingertips like a needle

Stab you from behind



He'll pay any price

To buy your heart and soul

He makes a deal with heaven

All he wants is your life

To cut another slice!

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - The Water Is Wide / Deep River

The water is wide

I cannot cross over

and neither have

I wings to fly

build me a boat

that will carry two

and both shall row

my love and I

There is a ship

and she sails the sea

she's loaded deep

as deep can be

but not so deep

as the love I'm in

I know not how

I sink or swim

deep river

my home is over jordan

deep river

lord

I want to cross over into campground

deep river

my home is over jordan

mmm, deep river, lord

I want to cross over into campground

oh don't you want to go

to that gospel feast

that promised land

where all is peace

for deep river, lord

I want to cross over into campground

the water is wide

I cannot cross over

and neither have

I wings to fly

build me aboat

that will carry two

and both shall row

and both shall row

and both shall row

my love and I

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Private Life

Your private life drama baby leave me out [3x]



J'ai les glands with your theatrics

Your acting's a drag

It's ok on tv 'cause you can turn it off

But don't try me

Yes your marriage is a tragedy

But it's not my concern

I'm very superficial I hate anything official



[Chorus:]

Your private life drama baby leave me out [3x]

[Backup Chorus:]

You've been lying to someone and now me

Stop [3x]



Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death

You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath

Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret

Shit that's so wet

And your sex life complications are not my fascinations



[Chorus]



You asked me for advice I said use the door

But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore

And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail

I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry



[Chorus]

PRINCE lyrics - Rock Hard In A Funky Place

Does anybody know you're here?

This house of ill-repute (Ooohh honey I'm scared of u)

Tryin' 2 deal with all your fears

I guess this is what u get 4 being cute (Cute, cute)

Soaked in banana cologne

No wonder you're all alone

It's written all over your face

You're just-a rock hard in a funky place



Rock hard in a funky place



Here comes a lady so u cover up

She's a freaked out,

Funky electric mama with double cups

Say u, u could cop if u wanted 2

Because something near your leg

Is haunting u, such a disgrace

U're rock hard in a funky place, ow!



Rock hard in a funky place



U was workin' on the line

U could drop on her

But u couldn't concentrate

When your dick saw her

Maybe if u cop a nut in the car (Maybe if u cop a nut in the car)

Maybe u could think

About playing guitar



(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)

(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)

Oh yeah



Rock hard in a funky place



All you're looking 4 is love

Or a reason 2 believe there's a God above

Pretty soon you'll get enough

And head back 2 a life so tough

I just hate 2 see an erection go 2 waste

I'm just-a rock hard in a funky place



Rock hard in a funky place

Say it

Rock hard in a funky place

Rock hard in a funky place

Oohh U rock hard in a funky place

U rock hard in a funky place

Say it, y'all



(rock, rock)

what? (rock, rock, rock, rock)

We gotta go, y'all

tune in next week (rock, rock)

Same time (rock, rock)

same boogie (rock, rock, rock, rock, rock hard)

oohhh yeah (rock, rock, rock, rock)

we will rock, y'all (rock, rock)



But until then keep your finger on the trigger

That's the only way it'll get bigger



(What kind of fuck ending was that?)

ROXETTE lyrics - It Takes You No Time To Get Here

Why don't you take the rest of the day off

You do deserve a break

Follow that road, it ain't long

Just cross that silver lake

Yea, pass the pond, the off-white fence

When you see the mailbox to the left you've made it all right,

No way to go wrong

All you do is blow that horn



It takes you no time to get here

Just drive out of town today

It takes you no time to get here and when

You've arrived you might as well stay

You might as well stay



Why don't you leave your desk for a short while

You do deserve some time

Enjoying the other side of life you forgot to memorize

Stay in the sun, reach for the moon

Make a little love in the afternoon

You're doing all right, no way you go wrong

This is the place where you belong



It takes you no time

No time to get here

HAWKWIND lyrics - Neon Skyline

Before my eyes,

Aneon skyline

Colours drip,

Dimensions entwine

Twisting matter, time and space

Got to leave reality's waste



Colours blind us

Lights and liquids

Darkness hides us

From the conscience



I changed my course,

I had no choice

I always listen to my inner voice

Projecting auras used to create

Escape into the next stargate



Colours blind us

Lights and liquids

Darkness hides us

From the conscience



Before my eyes,

A neon skyline

Another trip,

Beyond the mind

Senses swirling in my head

As darkness falls upon the ledge



Colours blind us

Lights and liquids

Darkness hides us

From the conscience

RINGO STARR lyrics - Blindman

(Richard Starkey)



Blindman, with your piece of paper, what you gonna do?

Blindman, with your paper, can you see it through?

Your name on that paper means so much to you,

You made a promise, you would get them through.

The girls to the miners, you would fix them too.

They've been taken,

You've lost them all and the money too.

They've been taken,

You've lost them all and the money too.



Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?



Mexico, you've got to go, you know it just ain't fair-

To get your women back, now hurry because they're all there.

You're all alone but you'll make it alright,

You'll find your women there

But to get them, you'll have to fight.



Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?



Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?



Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

RICKY NELSON lyrics - The Nearness Of You

It's not the pale moon that excites me

That thrills and delights me

Oh no, it's just the nearness of you



It isn't your sweet conversation

That brings this old sensation

Oh no, it's just the nearness of you



When you're in my arms

And I feel you so close to me

All my wildest dreams come true



I need no soft light to enchant me

If you'll only grant me the right

To hold you ever so tight

And to feel in the night

The nearness of you

ENIGMA lyrics - Je T'aime Till My Dying Day

- Do you love me too... -

- Do you, do you, do you love me too -



Je t'aime, je t'aime mon amour

- Do you really love me -

Je t'aime

I'll always love you

Till my dying day.

SLADE lyrics - Still The Same

(Holder & Lea)



Oh we ain't goin' nowhere

We're just looking for somewhere

Whatever pulled us apart is still the same

It's still the same



Oh we're all one day older

Your hands are gradually colder

What made me weak in the knees is still the same

It's still the same



Oh you ain't been so tender

Your smell and how I remember

Although your only cologne is still the same

It's still the same



Oh I ain't a great romancer

And I ain't got all of the answers

What made me weak in the knees is still the same

It's still the same



Chorus



Nothing's changed

I'm taking the blame

No, nothing has changed

It's still the same

Nothing's changed

Start all over again

It's all in the game

It's still the same

It's still the same



Oh I know nothing's changing

I know I need re-arranging

I know I'm taking the blame, it's still the same

It's still the same



Oh I know nothing is changing

I know there's nothing remaining

I know it's all in the game, it's still the same

Still The Same



Chorus R E P E A T

CAROLE KING lyrics - A Quiet Place To Live

All I want is a quiet place to live

Where I can enjoy the fruits of my labor

Read the paper

And not have to cry out loud



In my mind I can see it crystal clear

Sharing my dreams with the people around me

Now they surround me

And I'm just a part of the crowd



What will become of us

What about the children

What will they do to us next time around

What will the answer be

What will it mean to me

When are they gonna see we're underground

Here underground



And all I want is a quiet place to live

Where I can be free in a world of my making

Instead of taking

What they decided to give

I wouldn't want what they have - no

If I could only find

A quiet place to live

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Too Hot

(Howard Houston)



Hearts beating like a drum

Like foxes on the run

Nothing baby, nothing is forever

It's too late to stop me now

You couldn't anyhow

Baby can't you see us together



Oh oh tell me baby

Oh oh tell me now - tell me now

Tell me now - baby now

Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I'll sail with you the seven seas

Cause I know babe what you feel

Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I say it's like a symphony...

Baby you know the way I feel

Oh be my eternity

Baby come on back home - baby tonight



Reaching out to take your hand

Together we will stand

Not just in my arms and in my heart

You know I love you so much

Alive my life for your to touch

Was it just a favorite from the start



Oh oh tell me baby

Oh oh tell me now - tell me now

Tell me now - baby now

Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I'll sail with you the seven seas

Cause I know babe what you feel

Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I say it's like a symphony...

Baby you know the way I feel

Oh be my eternity

Baby come on back home - baby

Tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight



Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I'll sail with you the seven seas

Cause I know babe what you feel

Are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I say it's like a symphony

Baby know the way I feel



Why are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

I say it's like a symphony

Baby know the way I feel



Why are you too hot

Can't you see it's forever

THE WHO lyrics - Happy Jack

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man

He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key

So they rode on his head on their furry donkey



The kids couldn't hurt Jack

They tried and tried and tried

They dropped things on his back

And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



The kids couldn't hurt Jack

They tried and tried and tried

They dropped things on his back

And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied



But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy



(I saw ya!)

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Real Gone Lover

(Dave Bartholomew, Ruth Durnad & Joseph Robichaux)



I'm a real gone lover

I'm hip, I'm in the know

I'm a real gone lover

I'm hip, I'm in the know

And if ya love me one time

You'll soon come back for more



Come over to my pad

Come over to my pad and play

Come over to my pad

Come over to my pad and play

Like the old saying goes

When sunshines, let's make hay



Well, I'm a nervous fella (he's a nervous fella)

I'm a nervous fella (he's a nervous fella)

I'm a little-little nervous fella

(He's a nervous fella)

I'm a little-little nervous fella

(He's a nervous fella)

I'm a nervous fella

Don't make me wait all night



I'm a real gone lover

I'm hip, I'm in the know

(Sing it with me)

I'm a real gone lover

I'm hip, I'm in the know

And if ya love me one time

You'll soon come back for more

(Come on over babe)



Come over to my pad

Come over to my pad and play

(Come on over)

Come over to my pad

Come over to my pad and play

(Come over baby) (ooo, I'm comin')

Like the old saying goes

When the sun shines, let's make hay, ha



I'm a nervous fella (I'm a real gone lover)

I'm a nervous fella (ho, I'm a real gone lover)

I'm a n-n-n-nervous fella (and I'm a real gone lover)

I'm-m-m a n-n-n-nervous fella (and I'm a real gone lover)

I'm a nervous fella

So don't make me wait all night



(Sing one more time)



I'm a nervous fella

(He's a nervous fella)

I'm a nervous fella

(And I'm a real gone lover)



I'm a n-n-n nervous fella

(Ooo, he's a nervous fella)

I'm a n-n-n nervous fella

(And I'm a real gone lover)

I'm a nervous fella

So, don't make me wait all night

AMERICA lyrics - And Forever

I remember sidewalk laughter down New Orleans, LA

A hot wet night at the fight with you

Had to push through the crowds and talk

Very loud it's true



But you were on my mind that day

You were on my mind each day

You were on my mind that day and forever



Had a drink, stop to think we had a few

Afterwards we went down to the dance side of town for the view

You went blushing inside and you pinched me to see

If I knew



But you were on my mind that day

You were on my mind each day

You were on my mind that day and forever, and forever



We were lovers then and forever

There was nothing that we couldn't do

A hot wet night at the fight with you

Times like that weekend remain in my heart crystal clear

Walking along to the song you have helped me to hear



Yes you were on my mind that day

You were on my mind each day

You were on my mind that day and forever, and forever

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Dream On

As your bony fingers close around me

Long and spindly

Death becomes me

Heaven can you see what I see



Hey you pale and sickly child

You're death and living reconciled

Been walking home a crooked mile



Paying debt to karma

You party for a living

What you take won't kill you

But careful what you're giving



There's no time for hesitating

Pain is ready, pain is waiting

Primed to do it's educating



Unwanted, uninvited kin

It creeps beneath your crawling skin

It lives without it lives within you



Feel the fever coming

You're shaking and twitching

You can scratch all over

But that won't stop you itching



Can you feel a little love

Can you feel a little love



Dream on dream on



Blame it on your karmic curse

Oh shame upon the universe

It knows its lines

It's well rehearsed



It sucked you in, it dragged you down

To where there is no hallowed ground

Where holiness is never found



Paying debt to karma

You party for a living

What you take won't kill you

But careful what you're giving



Can you feel a little love

Can you feel a little love



Dream on dream on

BRIAN ENO WITH DAVID BYRNE lyrics - One Fine Day

Saw the wandrin' eye - inside my heart

Shouts and battle cries - from ev'ry part

I can see those tears - ev'ry one is true

When the door appears - I'll go right through---oooh



I stand in liquid light - like ev'ryone

I built my life with rhymes - to carry on

And it gives me hope - to see you there

The things I used to know - that one fine



One fine day

One fine day



In a small dark room - where I will wait

Face to face I find - I contemplate

Even though a man - is made of clay

Ev'rything can change - one fine-



One Fine Day...



Then before my eyes - Is standing still

I beheld it there - a city on a hill

I complete my tasks - one by one

I remove my masks - when I am done



Then a piece of mind - fell over me

In these troubled times - I still can see

We can use the stars - to guide the way

It is not that far - one fine:.



One fine day

One fine day...

THE KINKS lyrics - You Can't Stop The Music

And so Norman decides to stop living

Out his fantasy of being a rock star and

Accept reality. This is the end for

Norman but not for us because there

Will always be someone ready to take

His place - after all, euerybody's a

Star!



You Can't Stop The Music



Let's all raise a glass

To the rock stars of the past,

Those that made it,

Those that faded,

Those that never even made the grade,

Those that we thought would never last.



Singers come and go,

And stars fade away.

They vanish in the haze

And they're never seen again,

But the music just keeps playing on.



They can't stop the music,

They can't stop the music,

They can't stop the music playing on.



I've been half a million places,

I've seen half a million people who stare,

I've been a star and down and out,

I've been put on, sat on, punched and spat on,

They've called me a faggot, a spiv and a fake,

They can knock me down and tread on my face,

They can't stop the music playing on.



Let's all raise a glass

To the rock stars of the past,

Those that made it,

Those that faded,

Those that never even made the grade,

Those that we thought would never last.



Singers come and go,

And stars fade away.

They vanish in the haze

And they're never seen again,

But they can't stop the music playing on.

BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS lyrics - The Modern Adventures Of Plato, Diogenes And Freud

(Al Kooper)



Father of my morning,

Once my child to the night

I see that you have minds to cop

And I can only watch the sickened sorrow



Little do you know

Of the progressions that you teach

The people that you reach are tired

Of livin' in a world of elastic towers

Dance with them and sing a song of changes

And talk with them of life and all its dangers

Surround yourself with now familiar strangers

Who kiss and who hug and eventually mug you of your time



And the clock on the wall is a bore

As you wander past the door

And find him lying on the floor

As he begs you for some more, you frozen smile



You cannot ever picture me

You know me by my thoughts

A file for your travelogue

Oblivious to the night, the fog around you

The germs they are rediculous

They bother you at night

The blood that rushes to your brain

The ticket on the plane you're never catching

The price you pay exclusive of your taxes

To chop you up inside with tiny axes

The girl looks up to you from floors she waxes

And speaks to your belt with tears among her eyes



And the clock on the wall is a bore

As you wander past the door

And find him lying on the floor

As he begs you for some more, you frozen smile



The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face

Are hidden by the fake-up man

Who lives inside the sterno can beside you

Now climb ye to the mountains

As the sun is almost gone

Escaping from your other selves

Your brothers hide among the shelves inside you

The games that people play can only bore you

But only those that know you don't ignore you

How many times have I come there to restore you

And caught you lying on the couch with father time



And the clock on the wall is a bore

As you wander past the door

And find him lying on the floor

As he begs you for some more, you frozen smile

QUIET RIOT lyrics - Laughing Gas

Stay alive, just laugh the time away

You'll survive, do what you do your way



Burn the fire like a flame and knock 'em out in a hot flash

They'll all think that you're insane, it's just a laughing gas



Bombs away, they won't do you no harm

Help me babe, I have..... of your charm

GREEN DAY lyrics - Green Day

A small cloud has fallen

The white mist hits the ground

My lungs comfort me with joy

Vegging on one detail

The rest just crowds around

My eyes itch of burning red



Picture sounds

Of moving insects so surreal

Lay around

Looks like I found something new



Laying in my bed

I think I'm in left field

I picture someone, I think it's you

You're standing so damn close

My body begins to swell

Why does 1 + 1 make 2



Picture sounds

Of moving insects so surreal

Lay around

Looks like I found something new



Laying in my bed

I think I'm in left field

I picture someone, I think it's you

You're standing so damn close

My body begins to swell

Why does 1 + 1 make 2



Picture sounds

Of moving insects so surreal

Lay around

AC/DC lyrics - Evil Walks

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Johnson)



Black shadow hangin' over your shoulder

Black mark up against your name

Your green eyes couldn't get any colder

There's bad poison runnin' thru your veins

Evil walks behind you

Evil sleeps beside you

Evil talks arouse you

Evil walks behind you



Black widow weavin' evil notion

Dark secret's bein' spun in your web

Good men goin' down in your ocean

They can't swim cos their tied to your bed

Evil walks behind you

Evil sleeps beside you

Evil talks arouse you

Evil walks behind you

You're just crying wolf

I sometimes wonder where you park your broom

Oh black widow



C'mon weave your web

Down in your ocean

You got 'em tied to your bed

With your dark dark secret's

And your green green eyes

You black widow



Evil, walks behind you

Evil, sleeps beside you

Evil, talks arouse you

Evil, walks behind you

Evil walks behind you

Evil sleeps beside you

Evil talks arouse you

Evil walks behind you



Evil sleeps beside you

Evil talks arouse you

Evil walks behind you

Evil walks



You're so bad

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Luck Of The Draw

You dust the bottles on the bar counter

You're writing screenplays on the side

Three nights a week can keep a girl workin

Sometimes it's good to lose your pride.



These things we do to keep the flame burnin

And write our fire in the sky

Another day to see the wheel turnin

Another avenue to try.



It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby

The Natural Law

Forget those movies you saw, little Baby

It's in the Luck of the Draw

The Natural Law

(flame keep on burnin)

Forget those movies you saw, little Baby

(wheel ever turnin).



You turn around and say it's last orders

You fix the ribbon in your hair

Tomorrow's letter by the hall doorway

Could be the answer to your prayers.

ENIGMA lyrics - La Puerta Del Cielo

Alla dins es canal

En es peu da sa muntanya

Pareix que es senten picarols

Suau si es mou sa manada.



Dins es canta des riquets

I es mussol crida sa calma

I aquella olor que em pareix

De sa palla humilada.



Es canta des riquets

I es mussol crida sa calma

I aquella olor que em pareix

De sa palla humilada.



Alla davall dins es canal

En es peu da sa muntanya

Pareix que es senten picarols

De sa palla de sa palla humilada.

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - That's All Right, Mama

(Arthur Crudup)



Well, that's all right, mama

That's all right for you

That's all right mama, just anyway you do

Well, that's all right, that's all right.

That's all right now mama, anyway you do



Mama she done told me,

Papa done told me too

'Son, that gal your foolin' with,

She ain't no good for you'

But, that's all right, that's all right.

That's all right now mama, anyway you do



I'm leaving town, baby

I'm leaving town for sure

Well, then you won't be bothered with

Me hanging 'round your door

Well, that's all right, that's all right.

That's all right now mama, anyway you do

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Oh Be My Love

Love's a puzzle

I say, love's a puzzle

Sometimes confusing as can be

But we'll work it out

I know you'll discover

The beauty of love's mystery



Oh be my love, come let the work begin

Oh be my love, love's puzzle we can blend

Oh be my love, we'll fit the pieces in

I know we'll fit the pieces in

I know



Jagged edges such as heartbreak

Can drive you slowly out of your mind

It don't seem to fit

Go, honey, don't you quit

There's just harder love designs



Oh be my love, come let the work begin

Oh be my love, love's puzzle we can blend

Oh be my love, we'll fit the pieces in

I know, I know



Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh



Oh be my love, come let the work begin

Oh be my love, love's puzzle we can blend, come on

Oh be my love, we'll fit the pieces in

I know, you'll fit the pieces in



Oh be my love (be my love, yeah)

Come let the work begin

Oh be my love, love's puzzle we can blend, yea

Oh be my love, we'll fit the pieces in

I know

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Rapid Fire

(Tipton/Halford/Downing)



Pounding the world like a battering ram

Forging the furnace for the final grand slam

Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done

Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none



Hammering anvils straining muscle and might

Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright

Fast devastating and desolisating the curse

Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth



Wielding the axe comes the one culmination

That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed



Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage

Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free



Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled

Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war



The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding

That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay



Pounding the world like a battering ram

Forging the furnace for the final grand slam

Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done

Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none

Second to none

THE FOUR TOPS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - Call Me

(Hello)

If you're feeling sad and lonely

There's no service I can render

(How did you get my number?)

Tell the one who loves you only

I can be so warm and tender

Call me

Don't be afraid, you can call me

Maybe it's late, but just call me

(What's the best time?)

Tell me and I'll be around



When it seems your friends desert you

There's someone who's thinking of you (You?)

I'm the one who'll never hurt you

Maybe that's because I love you

Call me

Don't be afraid, you can call me

Mabe it's late, but just call me

Tell me and I'll be around



Now don't forget me

'Cause if you let me

I will always stay by you

You gotta trust me

That's how it must be

There's so much I can do



If you call, I'll be right with you

You and I should be together

Take this love I long to give you (Oh baby)

I'll be at your side forever

Call me

Don't be afraid, you can call me

Maybe it's late, but just call me

Tell me and I'll be around



[Interlude]



If you call, I'll be right with you

You and I should be together

Take this love I long to give you

I'll be at your side forever



Call me

Don't be afraid, you can call me

Maybe it's late, but just call me

[repeat till fade]

EUROPE lyrics - Seventh Sign

(Joey Tempest, Mic Michaeli, Kee Marcello)



I've been sailin' 'cross the ocean

With the devil by my side

I've been flyin 'cross the great

Blue sky

But there's nowhere to hide

I've been standin' by the crossroads

I've been lookin' for a clue

I've been prayin' for the

Human race

There's not a lot I can do



I've been waitin' for the warnin'

As we look to the sky

Now we all seem lost

If you ask me why



It's the seventh sign

See the blood-red sky tonight

It's the seventh sign

See the blood-red sky



There's a voice out on the wasteland

It says we're runnin' out of time

I used to think the world

Could change

Lord I must have been blind

I've been cryin'out for mankind

I've been hangin' on to faith

But the comin' of a messenger

Says it's much too late



We could all come together

And gather all around

What good is war when we

All go down

PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Winter Rose / Love Awake

All through the summer I have followed you around

Bringing a rose for the winter that's coming

Now the snow is on the ground.



Winter rose. Winter rose.

Shine your light in the air.

Winter rose. Winter rose.

Skine your light everywhere.

Love awake. Toll the bell.

Tell the world how glad you are.

Love awake to the day

When we can make our love awake.



Lord knows we need it any time we can get it.

But if we forget it every now and then.

But if you don't feel it, later on you'll regret it.

And if we let it we could set it free, you and me.



Love awake. Tone the bell.

Tell the world how glad you are.

Love awake to the day

When we can make our love awake.



Snowfalls in the winter,

Spring brings the rain.

But it's never to long before the summer comes again.

It always comes again!

Love awake.

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - I've Got No Right To Have It All

(Richard Thompson)



I wish you well

And darling keep in touch

And if he loves you

I hope he loves you as much

It's just my fantasy

You leaving him for me

I've Got No Right To Have It All



Life's little gifts

I know I've had my share

And for a while

I know I had you there

Who carries the pain

For me to love again

I've Got No Right To Have It All



If time stopped in it's tracks

Is that what paradise might be

I'll cling like a drowning man

To my driftwood piece of memory

And where's the peace of mind

Among the debris left behind



This is the point

Where we act crazy or sane

We walk away now

Never to embrace again

I'll say God bless

And wish you happiness

I've Got No Right To Have It All

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Light Of The World

I am just a stranger, in a promised land

I am only learning a game with the rules I don't understand

Going round in circles, I've been round before

I am lost in so many ways

I can walk no more

I can walk no more



I am just a drifter, in an open sea

But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me

Going round in circles, till I reach the shore

I am blown by so many winds

I can take no more

I can take no more



Light of the world, I stand alone,

Cause I could not see the light of the world

Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye



I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes

I can fly so close to the sun, that I cannot see it rise

Going round in circles, in a silent sky

I am lost for so many words

I cannot say why

I cannot say why



Light of the world, I stand alone,

Cause I could not see the light of the world

Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye



Just a traveller, on an endless flight

But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night

Going round in circles, till the mountains fall

To believe in so many truths

Makes no sense at all

Makes no sense at all



Light of the world, I stand alone,

Cause I could not see the light of the world

I was afraid, 'cause I could not see the light of the world

Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Uptight (Everything's Alright)

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.



I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,

The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back,

But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy

Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.

When we go out stepping on the town for a while

My money's low and my suit's out of style,

But it's all right if my clothes aren't new

Out of sight because my heart is true.



She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.



I'm a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,

I guess her folks brought her up that way,

The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised

In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.

No one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy,

No football hero or smooth Don Juan,

Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son.

She says give her the things that money can buy

But I'll never, never make my baby cry,



And it's all right, what I can't do,

Out of sight because my heart is true,

She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

DORO PESCH lyrics - I'll Be Holding On

I have lived my life my way

For tonight and for today

Just the strongest hearts, they say

Always survive



And I'm fallin' through the years

All these dreams disappear

And the night is full of tears

I'll be holding on



Now this life is etched in black

And I won't be looking back

The rain washed away the tracks

I'll never find again



I'm still reachin' for the light

I'm still usin' up the night

And you know I'll be alright

I'll be holding on



When I stand alone

I don't need no memories

All the rest are gone

I'll be holding on



I know how it is

I don't steal no memories

Of all the ones you know

I'll be holding on



And my life is made of sand

It flows right through my hand

Each day I make a stand

And I see it through



I've been reachin' for the light

I've been usin' up the night

And you know I'll be alright

I'll be holding on



When I stand alone

I don't need no memories

Of all the ones you know

I'l be holding on



When I stand alone

I don't need no memories

When all the rest are gone

I'll be holding on



When I stand alone

I don't need no memories

When all the rest are gone

I'll be holding on



I know how it is

I know how it will be

All the rest are gone

But I'll be holding on

TOM WAITS lyrics - Tell It To Me

They say you're seeing someone, you're wearing his ring

They say you laughed when you heard my name

They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near

They say he'll buy you anything

Tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories

And I'll be coming home soon



Louise, Louise, if it's true

Tell it to me



I know, you will not see me, but I know you have a daughter

And I hear she has my eyes

They say she calls him "father", and he's proud of her

And even believes all of your lies

But for all your faithless beauty, I'd give all my tomorrows

And if you're still thinking of me

Louise, Louise, if it's true

Tell it to me



Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true

Tell it to me

Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true

Tell it to me

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Time Machine

Well a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene?

I said a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene?

Awww well come on over baby, step into my time machine

You best jump into my action, I'm gonna make you feel right

Awww, jump into my action, I'm gonna make you feel right

Don't worry 'bout tomorrow 'cause I'm gonna love you tonight

Step into the front row, I'm gonna show you how

Step into the front row, I wanna show you how

Don't worry 'bout no time we can always come back to right now

Awww and I'm gonna' give it to you

When you wanna come back, we just a turn about

When you wanna come back, we just a turn about

But we ain't gonna' come back 'till there ain't no doubt

Now don't it get good to you, ah-do you know what I mean?

Said don't it get good to you, don't you know what I mean?

Well come on over baby, jump into my time machine

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Hold Your Head Up

(Argent, White)



And if it's bad

Don't let it get you down - you can take it

And if it hurts

Don't let them see you cry - you can make it



Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up high



And if they stare

Just let them burn their eyes on you moving

And if they shout

Don't let it change a thing that you're doing



Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up woman

Hold your head up high

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Pibroch (Cap In Hand)

There's a light in the house in the wood in the valley.

There's a thought in the head of the man.

Who carries his dreams like the coat slung on his shoulder,

Bringing you love in the cap in his hand.

And each step he takes is one half of a lifetime:

no word he would say could you understand.

So he bundles his regrets into a gesture of sorrow,

Bringing you love cap in hand.

Catching breath as he looks through the dining-room window:

candle lit table for two has been laid.

Strange slippers by the fire.

Strange boots in the hallway.

Put my cap on my head.

I turn and walk away.

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - If I Never Knew Your Name

You, get me feelin' crazy

There always on my mind

And I get to feelin' lately

If I never knew your name,

I'd love you all the same

But I have you to myself

Wanting nothing else

Knowing that you're mine



Good time, bad time, all the time

Hands reachin' 'cross a room

And I know somewhere inside my mind

If I never knew your name,

I'd love you all the same,

But I have you to myself

Wanting nothing else

Knowing that you're mine



Ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba



And I know somewhere inside my mind

If I never knew your name,

I'd love you all the same

But I have you to myself



Wanting nothing else

Knowing that you're mine

Have you to myself

Wanting nothing else

Knowing that you're mine...

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - I Wonder Where You Are Tonight

(Johnny Bond)



Tonight my heart is sad and weary

Wonderin' if I'm wrong or right

I dream about you though you've left me

I wonder where you are tonight



The rain is cold and slowly fallin'

Upon my window pane tonight

And though you're love was even colder

I wonder where you are tonight



It's spring, the birds are gaily singing

The trees are blossoming so sweet

No other love was quite so happy

No other love was so complete



The rain is cold and slowly fallin'

Upon my window pane tonight

And though you're love was even colder

I wonder where you are tonight



Then came the dawn the day you left me

I tried to smile with all my might

But you could see the pain within me

It still lingers in my heart tonight



Oh, the rain is cold and slowly fallin'

Upon my window pane tonight

And though you're love is even colder

I wonder where you are tonight

R. E.M. lyrics - Shaking Through

Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the world?

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Could this by three be turned? Honor marches on.

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way



Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.



Are we grown way too far?

Taking after rain

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.



In my life.



Is that a steal?

Children of today on parade,

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

THE ORIGINAL ANIMALS lyrics - Many Rivers To Cross

(Jimmy Cliff)



Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I'm lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of dover



Many rivers to cross

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

I've been ripped, washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride



And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My women left me but she wouldn't say why

Guess I'll just break right down and cry



Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin

I'm playing for time

There've been times I find myself

Thinking of committing some terrible crime



Still this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My girl left me but she wouldn't say why

Guess I'll just break right down and cry



Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of dover



Many rivers to cross

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

I've been ripped, washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride

RUFUS THOMAS lyrics - Walking The Dog

Baby's back, dressd in black,

silver buttons all down her back.

High, low, tipsy toe,

she broke a needle and she can't sew.

Walkin' the dog,

just a-walkin' her dog.

If you don't know how to do it,

I'll show you how the walk the dog.



Asked the fellow for fifteen cents,

see the fellow he jumped the fence.

Jumped so high he touched the sky,

never got back till the fourth of July.

Walkin' the dog,

just a-walkin' her dog.

If you don't know how to do it,

I'll show you how the walk the dog.

CAMEL lyrics - Rajaz

(Latimer/Hoover)



When the desert sun has passed horizon's final light

And darkness takes it's place...

We will pause to take our rest.

Sharing song of love,

Tales of tragedy.



The souls of heaven

Are stars at night.

They will guide us on our way,

Until we meet again

Another day.

When a poet sings the song and all are hypnotised,

Enchanted by the sound...

We will mark the time as one,

Tandem in the sun.

The rhythm of a hymn.



The souls of heaven

Are stars at night.

They will guide us on our way,

Until we meet again

Another day.

When the dawn has come

Sing the song,

All day long.



We will move as one,

Bear the load

On the road.



The souls of heaven

Turn to stars

Every single night

All across the sky...

They shine.

PAUL SIMON lyrics - The Boy In The Bubble

(words by Paul Simon; music by Paul Simon and Forere Motlobeloa)



It was a slow day

And the sun was beating

On the soldiers by the side of the road

There was a bright light

A shattering of shop windows

The bomb in the baby carriage

Was wired to the radio



These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry baby, don't cry

Don't cry



It was a dry wind

And it swept across the desert

And it curled into the circle of birth

And the dead sand

Falling on the children

The mothers and the fathers

And the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry baby, don't cry

Don't cry



It's a turn-around jump shot

It's everybody jump start

It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

Medicine is magical and magical is art

The Boy in the Bubble

And the baby with the baboon heart



And I believe

These are the days of lasers in the jungle

Lasers in the jungle somewhere

Staccato signals of constant information

A loose affiliation of millionaires

And billionaires and baby

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry baby, don't cry

Don't cry

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - I Want It (And I Want It Now)

Four in the morning and I just can't sleep

I've got a craving now for something sweet

So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,

When I get there, it's deserted;



And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,

Under the sign that says, "Help Yourself"

If you really gotta have it,

then we really gotta sell it to ya

This is for people who say....



I want it and I want it now!

I want it and I just can't wait!

I want it and I want it now.

I want it and I will not wait......



I want it.......now



I sit at home and when I watch TV,

I gotta have remote control with me,

Oh and when I'm watching football,

I can go to total recall,

I got freeze frame, I got slo - mo.



This is the way that it was meant to be,

You gotta get ready for the century

I'm a total modern man,

And I got total modern plans

And it's so easy when you say.....



I want it and I want it now!

I want it and I just can't wait!

I want it and I want it now.



I gotta get a feel to try, gotta get a meal inside,

Gotta get a deal tonight, I gotta say....

I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,

And I just can't wait....







I want it and I want it now!

I want it and I just can't wait!

I want it and I want it now.

I want it and I will not wait...

I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,

And I just can't wait



I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,

And I just can't wait



Here it is the new sensation,

Listen to the new generation,

We want something, we want it now!



You don't need no invitation,

Listen to the new conversation,

We want something, we want it now.......



We want it now,

K. D. LANG lyrics - Season Of Hollow Soul

(K. D. Lang/Ben Mink)



Keen to the shifting of wind

I bend to it blind

To rid these kisses of sin

That must stay behind



Sour the fruit of neglect

The core of my doubt

Deprived are my veins you infect

With or without



Fate must have a reason

Why else endure the season

Of hollow soul

The ground on which we leave on

How strangely fuels the season

Of hollow soul



Seeds of uprooted chance

Are grains of goodbye

Waving boughs so slowing dance

Questioning why



Fate must have a reason

Why else endure the season

Of hollow soul

The ground on which we leave on

How strangely fuels the season

Of hollow soul

La la la la...

Fate must have a reason

Why else endure the season

Of hollow soul

La la la la...

Fate must have a reason

Why else endure the season

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER lyrics - Take A Pebble

(Lake)



Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,

Then watch the ripples that unfold into me,

My face spill so gently into your eyes,

Disturbing the waters of our lives.



Shread of our memories are lying on your grass;

Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past.

Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields

Letters of your mem'ries are not real.



Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat

In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope.

The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died.

Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives,

lives, lives...

Of our lives.

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Pretty Beat Up

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Since you put me down

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

Yeah since you left me lying around

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

Since you 86-ed me, pretty beat up

Never restitched me, pretty beat up

My face is a mess, pretty beat up

Yeah yeah you ought to see my face

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

It's a mess, pretty beat up, pretty beat up

You ought to see inside my heart

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

I'm marked for life, pretty beat up

I'm marked for life, pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Yeah I'm just like a battered baby

Just left on the street, pretty beat up

You ought to see the state, pretty beat up

I've been cut with a razor, pretty beat up

Don't you cut me up, don't you cut me up

I'm pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up

THE KINKS lyrics - Lincoln County

I've gotta get a train, take me back home again,

See my daddy, momma wants to see me too.

I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window

At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since I've been home.



I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home.

So come on girls, you better put your best boots on.

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County,

Won't know which way to go, I'm gonna find all those pretty girls.

I'm gonna find them all.

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County,

Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?].

Then I'm gonna shout for more.



Well, I bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop,

Bought my ticket from money that I saved in jail.

I got a boot lace tie, I got for my Pa,

I got a head scarf, fair, I got for my momma that she won't wear.



I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home.

So come on girls, you better put your best boots on.

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County,

Won't know which way to go, I'm gonna find all those pretty girls.

I'm gonna find them all.

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County,

Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?].

Then I'm gonna shout for more.



I've gotta get a train, take me back home again,

See my daddy, momma wants to see me too.



'Cause when I get me back to Lincoln County,

Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?].

Then I'm gonna shout for more.

'Cause when I get back to Lincoln County,

Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?].

Then I'm gonna shout for more.

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County,

Won't know which way to go, I'm gonna find all those pretty girls.

I'm gonna find them all.

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Love's Still There

Door slams, car starts, he's on the road.

She's left there sitting angry and alone

Thinking of what she should have said

Or maybe she should have gone to bed

Now his words are swirling around in her head.



He said and then she said

And then they both yelled together.

Neither one hearing or listening to the other

Words like I never and you don't understand

One word then another until the whole thing's out of hand.



But love's still there

It's just hiding in the dark cause it's scared.

Hang on to those feelings that you know are true

And remember that this person means everything to you.



Siren scream breaks through her dreams

She rolls to her right.

She realizes that he's still lost to the night.

She gets out of bed both worried and mad,

She prays that he's safe, her anger holds back her dread.



Door opens and in walks her baby

With a look on his face that says I'm sorry.

Now's not the time to play silly games

So you reach out your hand and he does the same.

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - I've Just Lost Somebody

She came down from far away and smiled at me

In one moment I found out how love can be

Then I realized that she had gone again

I've just lost somebody

A-ha, please let me dream



Though I know that love ever happened this way

I'll be here untill she will return one day

Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again

I've just lost somebody

A-ha, please let me dream



She came down from far away and smiled at me

In one moment I found out how love can be

Then I realized that she had gone again

I've just lost somebody

A-ha, please let me dream

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Mine Again

I remember when you used to be mine

Way back when

I was too na? ve to love you right

But now if I only had the opportunity

I would do anything

Because my heart still believes



[Chorus:]

Maybe you could be mind again

Maybe we could make that dream for real

Like way back then

When love was yours and mine

Maybe we could bring it back to life



It's irrelevant to dwell on the past

I'm accountable for what went bad

And I mean that

But I keep on praying for another chance

Just to have you back

Cause I've grown

And I know how to be your everything



[Chorus:]

Maybe you could be mind again

Maybe we could make that dream for real

Like way back then

When love was yours and mine

Maybe we could bring it back to life



No, no it ain't over yet

I just can't accept the possibility

We weren't made for each other's arms

I know you're my destiny

We can't erase what was meant to be

Part of you and part of me

If we try one more time

Maybe somehow we'll survive



Maybe you could be mine again

Maybe we could make that dream for real

Like way back then

When love was yours and mine

Boy maybe we could bring it back

Maybe we could bring it back

Maybe we could bring it back to...

Life

Maybe you could be mine

MARILLION lyrics - The Last Straw

(Dick/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors

A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories

Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare

Opening the doors for the dreams to come home

We live out lives in private shells

Ignore our senses and fool ourselves

To thinking that out there there's someone else cares

Someone to answer all our prayers



Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible

Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care

We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine

Pretending the end isn't quite that near



We make futile gestures, act to the cameras

With our made up faces and PR smiles

And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us

We'll find out that after all, we're only men of straw



But everything is still the same

Passing the time passing the blame

We carry on in the same old way

We'll find out we left it too late one day to say what we meant to say



Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water

Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of

The feeling you get is similar to something like drowning

Out of your mind, you're out of your depth, you should have taken soundings

Clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws



And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy

You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands

And you'll recognise by the reflection in our eyes

That deep down inside we're all one and the same



We're clutching at straws

We're still drowning Clutching at straws

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - It Must Be Love

(Mick Ralphs)



You can call on me whenever you need me

Hanging around never did any good

And I want you to know the way that I feel

Is good inside

Oh oh oh oh oh it must be love



I can see the garden of light all around me

Cursin' in songs from those evergreen trees (?)

And no one can say I'm a natural fool

For walkin' this way

Oh oh oh oh oh it must be love



Love love love

Love love love

Love love love

It must be love



When you smile at me I can see all the stars at night

Succulent moonlight is stroking your hair

And I want you to know the way that I feel

Is good inside

Oh oh oh oh oh it must be love



Love love love

Love love love

Love love love

It must be love



Love love love

Love love love

Love love love

It must be love



(That one's for you, Brian)

LOU REED lyrics - Endlessly Jealous

Jealousy, endlessly sweeps through my mind

Jealousy, often causes me to be unkind

I'm sorry I said that, I'm sorry I did that

I'm sorry I hit you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry



Endlessly jealous of you, being endlessly jealous of me

The man that you thought I could be

Turning red with jealousy



Endlessly jealousy eats through my skull

Endlessly jealousy makes me feel dull

Fighting, endless, jealous fighting

I feel my fingers tightening, tightening,

Please don't break her arm



Jealously thinking of you

Of your endless possesion of me

Of my jealousy / endlessly / jealousy, endlessly jealous of you



Sorry, running to a phone to say, I'm sorry

Running out of dimes, the phone on the street spit at me



Sorry, please you know how I'm sorry

I've been this way for oh, so long

Endlessly / Jealously / Jealous of you



Jealousy, endlessly eats through my mind

Jealousy, endlessly makes me be unkind

I'm sorry I said that, I'm sorry I did that

I'm sorry I hit you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry



Endlessly jealous of you, being endlessly jealous of me

Endlessly jealous of you, being endlessly jealous of me

Endlessly jealous of you, endlessly jealous of you

THE KINKS lyrics - A Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy

Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be

Isn't it strange, we never changed

We've been through it all yet we're still the same

And I know it's a miracle we still go, and for all we know

We might still have a way to go



Hello me, hello you, you say you want out

Want to start anew, throw in your hand

Break up the band, start a new life, be a new man

But for all we know, we might still have a way to go

Before you go, there's something you ought to know



There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock

He plays records day and night

And when he feels down he puts some rock 'n' roll on

And it makes him feel alright

And when he feels the world is closing in

He turns his stereo way up high



He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life living on the edge of reality

He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life living on the edge of reality

He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy



Look at me, look at you

You say we've got nothing left to prove

The King is dead, rock is done

You might be through but I've just begun

I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go

Before you go, there's something you ought to know



Dan is a fan and he lives for our music

It's the only thing that gets him by

He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows

He's seen us low and he's seen us high

Oh, but you and me keep thinking

That the world's just passing us by



Don't want to spend my life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

Don't want to spend my life living on the edge of reality

Don't want to waste my life hiding away anymore

Don't want to spend my life living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

PANTERA lyrics - Hard Ride

You're in the danger zone

You can't be left alone

Your heart is

In this for the ride

But when it comes down to it

You spoke your mind and you blew it

I want you when I want

And still I hear you say



[Chorus:]

HARD RIDE WITH ME

Its a matter of time before

You fall down on your knees

HARD RIDE STAY FREE

Its a matter of time

'fore its too late



The pressure's building up

You feel you've had enough

So go now - AWAY!!!

I'll lay it on the table

You're feelin' so unstable

I want to love you

But you seem so far away!!!



[Chorus]



And I don't even know your name

I just wanta throw you away!!!

The other night

TRAFFIC lyrics - Stranger To Himself

(Winwood/Capaldi)



Struggling with confusion, disillusionment too

Can turn a man into a shadow, crying out from pain



Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well

Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger

He's but a stranger to himself



Suspended from a rope inside a bucket down a hole

His hands are torn and bloodied from the scratching at his soul

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Hush

(South)



I got a certan little girl she's on my mind

No doubt about it she looks so fine

She's the best girl that I ever had

Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad



Hush, hush

I thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

I need her loving and I'm not to blame now



(Love, love)

They got it early in the morning

(Love, love)

They got it late in the evening

(Love, love)

Well, I want that, need it

(Love, love)

Oh, I gotta gotta have it



She's got loving like quicksand

Only took one touch of her hand

To blow my mind and I'm in so deep

That I can't eat and I can't sleep



Listen

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

I need her loving and I'm not to blame now



(Love, love)

They got it early in the morning

(Love, love)

They got it late in the evening

(Love, love)

Well, I want that, need it

(Love, love)

Oh, I gotta gotta have it

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Next To Your Mother, Who Do You Love?

[1st verse:]

Two loving sweethearts 'mid flowers in Maytime

Two happy faces like children in playtime

Two eyes of blue, gazing into

Eyes of her own sweetheart

One cozy bench holds the couple within it

Hours that passed only seemed like a minute

Sweet maiden sighs

Fellow replies

"Tell me before we part"



[Refrain:]

Next to your mother, who do you love?

Next to your father, and your sister Sue

Tell me who looks good to you

Next to your mother, who would you miss?

Next to your brother, who would you kiss?

Next to your own dear folks at home

Tell me, now who do you love?



[2nd verse:]

Five cozy rooms in a flat in the city

One baby boy cute and cunning and pretty

Parson had said

"You two are wed

Bless you my children, go"

"Come spend a week," so she wrote to her mother

Mother replies, "I am bringing your brother"

Husband remarks

"Me for the parks

But first I want to know"

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Lost In The Zone

(Hughes/Marsh/Kollman)



You wanna be somebody

But you don't see the writing on the wall

You don't need nobody

I can see you're gonna take a fall

I heard you saying

You could feel a new vibration going down

Love is fading

And I hope you're gonna come around



You got nothing to fear

You got so much to burn

Isolate on the hillside

When will you ever learn

See the fire in me

Is the evil in you

Now you've had all your chances

Gonna break you in two



When you're out on your own

And you feel like a rolling stone

And you're all alone

Then you know you're lost in the zone



Bad thing

You're the proudest child I've ever seen

You bring a whole new style

Do you know what I mean

I do worry about the people

Who do make you weak

You gotta hurry

And you better think twice

Before you speak

BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - Hammer Back

Step into a world of strangers

Into a sea of unknowns

Even friends potential danger

Secrets wound around their bones



Everybody else has got one

Packin' high caliber heat

If you don't wanna be dancin'

You don't dare miss the beat



Keep the hammer back, hammer back

Don't keep the safety on

Keep the hammer back, hammer back

'Til the living shadow's gone



Maybe at a Seven-Eleven

Maybe at a quick carjack

You'll verify there ain't a heaven

If you don't keep the hammer back



Keep the hammer back, hammer back

Don't keep the safety on

Keep the hammer back, hammer back

'Til the living shadow's gone



Keep the hammer back, hammer back

Don't keep the safety on

Keep the hammer back, hammer back

'Til the living shadow's gone



Hammer back, hammer back

Don't keep the safety on

Keep the hammer back, hammer back

'Til the living shadow's gone



Keep the hammer back, hammer back

Don't keep the safety on

Keep the hammer back, hammer back

'Til the living shadow's gone



Keep the hammer back, hammer back

Hammer back, hammer back

Ha ha ha

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - No Particular Place To Go

Ridin' along in my automobile

My baby beside me at the wheel

I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile

My curiosity runnin' wild

Crusin' n' playin' the radio o o

With no particular place to go.



Ridin' along in a Mini Metro

She said to me she loves me so, loves me so, loves me so

She smiled at me and looked so sweet

I thought I was in for a treat, in for a treat, in for a treat

My happy face began to glow ow ow

With no particular, no particular, no particular place to go



[Solo]



[Chorus:]

There's no particular place to go, there's no particular place to go

There's no particular, no particular, no particular place to go



[Chorus]



To go there's no particular place to go, there's no particular place

Particular place, Particular place, Particular, ticular place



[Chorus 2x]



Temperature's risin' really quick, really quick, really quick

Then she says she gets car sick, car sick oh no!

She said her love for me was true, truely true, truely true

She jumped in the back and began to spew,

Ridin' along & feeling low ow ow ow ow ow ow

With no particular place to go.



[Chorus]

SAXON lyrics - Big Teaser

Out with the boys

Testing my virility

The booze and the music

Arousing my curiosity

I moved in beside her

Asked her to rock and roll with me

'Cause I have her classed

My eyes roam lecherously

Lecherously, lecherously, lecherously



She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser

She's a big teaser



I only see her

Very occasionally

She's leading me on

She's living dangerously

It's easy to see

She's making a fool out of me

Oh but I ain't no fool

I'll get her eventually

Eventually, eventually, eventually



She's a big teaser
