THE BEATLES lyrics - Sha La La La La!

[Speech]



Lee Peters: Next number was called "Sha La La La La La."

John: You're joking!

Lee: No?

Paul: La?

Lee: Ah, but, in fact, "Baby It's You."

John: Why don't you do it in your famous James Mason impersonation?

Lee: Ha, ha.

All: All right! Go on, man! Do it in your--

Lee: I thought this next number was called "Sha La La La La La," but, in fact, "Baby It's You."

Lee: Yes.

John: Okay, let's go!

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - In The Palm Of Your Hand

(Ron Block)



If I could have the world and all it owns

A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones

If all the earth were mine to hold

With wealth my only goal



I'd spend my gold on selfish things

Without the love that Your life brings

Just a little bit more is all I'd need

'Til life was torn from me



I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand

Though rich or poor I may be

Faith can see right through the circumstance

Sees the forest in spite of the trees

Your grace provides for me



If I should walk the streets no place to sleep

No faith in promises You keep

I'd have no way to buy my bread

With a bottle for my bed



But if I trust the One who died for me

Who shed His blood to set me free

If I live my life to trust in You

Your grace will see me through



I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand

Though rich or poor I may be

Faith can see right through the circumstance

Sees the forest in spite of the trees



If I could have the world

If I could have the world and all it owns

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - James And The Gang

(Joan Baez)



Can you find another star to dream on

The summer's coming to an end

Say goodbye to all your wandering friends

And lovers, casual confidants

Who shared your dreams

When you were sixteen



And you walked on the sands of glory

With James and the gang

You were one magnificent story

You and James and the gang



Pass the pipe and like the sun get higher

In pack of roving wolverines

Placing bets on every girl in teens and jeans

Who eyed you suspiciously

With your biblical hair

And your mystical stare



As you walked on the sands of glory

With James and the gang

You were one magnificent story

You and James and the gang



When all your illusions did lie in the palm of your hand

And your limits were only the sky and the rolling sand

And of every summer to come

This summer would be the one

You'd remember forever

In your dreams



Oh, twinkle, twinkle little star

Did you ever wonder who you are

And do you think that life is just a Belushi movie

And the heartbreak years that lie ahead

Be true to yourself and the Grateful Dead

And remember the summer when all was hip and groovy



And you walked on the sands of glory

With James and the gang

You were one magnificent story

You and James and the gang



Hush little baby, momma once was sixteen

On the back of a Harley Davidson

Boyfriend was a born again

He shouted from the word of Jesus while doing 105

Down the coast highway

Only half a day from where



You walked on the sands of glory

With James and the gang

You were one magnificent story

You and James and the gang

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)

New Gold Dream

She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy

New Gold Dream

Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me

New Gold Dream

And the world goes hot

And the cities take

And the beat goes crashing

All along the way



She is your friend until the ocean breaks

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me

Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy

STATUS QUO lyrics - Runaround Sue

(Dimicci / Maresca)



I'm gonna tell a story and it's sad but true

About a girl that I once knew

She took my love and ran it around

With any other single guy in town



I should have known it from the very start

This girl would leave me with a broken heart

Now listen people what I'm telling you

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue



I miss her lips and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace

So if you don't wanna cry like I do

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue



She likes to travel around

She'll love you and she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

She goes out with other guys



Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue



She likes to travel around

She'll love you and she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

She goes out with other guys



Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue



I should have known it from the very start

This girl would leave me with a broken heart

Now listen people what I'm telling you

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

WHITESNAKE lyrics - Don't Fade Away

As I stand at the crossroad,

I see the sun sinking low...

With my cross of indecision,

I can't tell which way to go...

Now I have seen the seven wonders

And I have sailed the seven seas,

I've walked and talked with angels,

And danced all night with gypsy queens...



All in all it's been a rocky road,

Twists and turns along the way...

But, I still pray for tomorrow,

All my hopes, my dreams

Don't fade away... Don't fade away...



I have painted many portraits,

Memories of love and pain,

Though cut down by life's deceptions

I found the strength to start again...



All in all it's been a rocky road,

Twists and turns along the way...

But, I still pray for tomorrow,

All my hopes, my dreams

Don't fade away... Don't fade away.



Heaven help a man

Trying to make up his mind,

With the darkness closing in,

I feel I'm running out of time...

Shine a light for me,

Help me find the way to go,

And take me where I've never been before...



And so I stand at the crossroad,

Watching the sun sinking low...

With my cross of indecision,

Trying to find the way to go...



All in all it's been a rocky road,

Twists and turns along the way,

But, I still pray for tomorrow

All my hopes, my dreams

Don't fade away...

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Easy Street

Saturday night

At the corner cafe

I had me some drinks

And I'm feeling my way

The moon's on the rise

And it looks like

A night for romance

Shuffling down



Pass the local hotel

Doing the rounds

And I'm under a spell

Must be the place

Yes I knew

When she asked me to dance



I'm on easy, easy street

I'm on easy, easy street



Seeing as how

I'm a regular guy

Watching the girls

Of the evening go by

I got me a chance

And I'm making it

Making it last



I'm on easy, easy street

I'm on easy, easy street



So if you're feeling like

You're just some lonely man

When ever you're down

In need of gentle care

There's always easy street

You know you gotta pay

But just remember boy



It's only a one night stand

That's right

I'll probably

Make it anyway

Down that easy street

She got nasty

Say baby

What you doing tonight?

LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - Travelling Riverside Blues

Asked sweet mama, Let me be her kid

She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"



Well I know my baby, If I see her in the dark

I said I know my rider, If I see her in the dark



Now, I goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side

Still barrelhouse, If it's on the riverside, yeah

I know my baby, Lord, I said, "is really sloppy drunk"

I know my mama, Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum



See my baby, tell her, Tell her hurry home

Had no lovin', since my baby been gone

See my baby, Tell hurry on home

I ain't had, Lord, my right mind, Since my rider's been gone



Hey, she promises, She's my rider

I wanna tell you, She's my rider

I know you're mine, She's my rider

She ain't but sixteen, But she's my rider



I'm goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by side

Anybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfied

Well, see my baby, tell her, Tell her the shape I'm in

Ain't had no lovin', Lord, since you know when



Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen



She's a kindhearted lady. She studies evil all the time

She's a kindhearted woman. She studies evil all the time



Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg

Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed

Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg



Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about



Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl

I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed



She's a good rider

She's my kindhearted lady

I'm gonna take my rider by my side

I said her front teeth are lined with gold

She's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul

She's my brownskin sugar plum...

LITA FORD lyrics - Little Too Early

Look into my eyes and tease me

What am I supposed to do

I should try and run just as far as I can get from you

Your love feels so very easy

Nothin' I can say to you

I better turn away before you melt me right through



'Cause I was born just a little too early

You came along just a little too late

We hang around just a little bit longer

Somebody's heart is gonna break

It's gonna break



Standing on the edge of willing

All you gotta do is touch me right

Every time you do what you do, it gets so hard to fight

The magic in your eyes is true

If I could only look away

I'm beggin' you to leave so I won't have to beg you to stay



'Cause I was born just a little too early

You came along just a little too late

We hang around just a little bit longer

Somebody's heart is gonna break

It's gonna break



The magic in your eyes is true

If I could only look away

I'm beggin' you to leave so I won't have to beg you to stay

I won't have to beg you to stay



'Cause I was born just a little too early

You came along just a little too late

If we hang around just a little bit longer

Somebody's heart is gonna break



I was born just a little too early

You came along just a little too late

We hang around just a little bit longer

Somebody's heart is gonna break



I was born just a little too early

You came along just a little too late

We hang around just a little bit longer

Somebody's heart is gonna break

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON I lyrics - Early In The Morning

(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))

Where my baby used to lay

QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Baby Get Lost

(Leonard Feather)



[This song was a hit for Dinah Washington in 1949 and was also covered by Billie Holiday]



Well good morning baby welcome back to town

How'd, fine papa, welcome back to town

You're doing so much travelling never know

When you'll be around



You're a fine and mellow fellow

But you're stubborn as a mule

You love me like an angel

But you treat me like a fool



Two-faced daddy don't hand me no doublecross

You'll see any time I'm ready

I can tell you baby get lost

You're cheating on the outside



Doing anything you choose

You better come back on the inside

'cause you got too much to lose

Don't want no trouble I've got to be the boss

And if you can't play it my way

Well now baby get lost



I try to stop your cheating

But I just don't have the time

'cause I got so many men that

They're standing right in line

Keep cool papa, you got to corne across

'cause any time I'm ready, yes any time I'm ready

You know when I'm ready

I can tell you baby get lost

Why don't you get lost

T. REX lyrics - Jeepster

You're so sweet

You're so fine

I want you all and everything

Just to be mine



'Cos you're my baby

'Cos you're my love

Girl I'm just a Jeepster

For you love



You slide so good

With bones so fair

You've got the universe

Reclining in your hair



Just like a car

You're pleasing to behold

I'll call you Jaguar

If I may be so bold



The wild winds blow

Upon your frozen cheeks

The way you flip your hip

It always makes me weak



Your motivation

Is so sweet

Your vibrations

Are burning up my feet



Girl I'm just a jeepster

For your love

Girl I'm just a vampire

For your love



I'm gonna suck you.

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - I Don't Wanna Get Hurt

I don't need all my friends to tell me

Things that I already know

Like in the best of all worlds

You shouldn't forget self-control



Don't say I don't know what I'm doing

'cos he said "it's more than a feeling"

And I said "I need you too"

Am I just a fool?



I don't wanna get hurt

I don't wanna get hurt

I'm not looking for just another heartache

I don't wanna get hurt

But I know it's a change I've got to take



I don't need all my friends to remind me

Mistakes that I've already made

I just leave the past behind me

And go on believing that I'll be okay



Some thing are only human

And he said he'd always need me

And I said "I want you too"

Am I just a fool?



I don't wanna get hurt

I don't wanna get hurt

I'm not looking for just another heartache

I don't wanna get hurt

But I know it's a chance I've got to take



Just another heartache



I don't need all my friends to tell me

Things that I already know

Like in the best of all worlds

You shouldn't forget self-control



Don't say I don't know what I'm doing

And he said "it's more than a feeling"

And I said "I need you too"

Am I just a fool?



I don't wanna get hurt

I don't wanna get hurt

I'm not looking for just another heartache

I don't wanna get hurt

But I know it's a chance I've got to take



I don't wanna get hurt

I don't wanna get hurt

I'm not looking for just another heartache

I don't wanna get hurt

But I know it's a chance I've got to take



I don't wanna get hurt

I don't wanna get hurt

I'm not looking for just another heartache

I don't wanna get hurt

QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - The Chase

You think you're smart, inventive

Because you've figured out my game?

Pride is a handy substitute,

When you've got only yourself to blame.

All my dreams I've realized while you... were indisposed.

While you've spent eighteen years watching TV,

I've watched my fortune grow.



Here I am-I'm finally on the outside and

You're nowhere near where I've been!

I've got you where I want you... at last.

You've got no idea who I am!

We circle around each other waiting for reaction

We circle around each other waiting for reaction

Wanting satisfaction for the past.

I want nothing... from the past.



Always been so easy you're like a puppet on my string,

Throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think.

Why should I care?

You wouldn't dare!

You're nothing but worthless... I swear.



From where I stand I've got you where I want you.

You'll never take me! Never take me down!

I've seen all I need to put you in the ground

Revenge is normal, a typical reaction

I've seen your cynical reaction...

If you're standing outside of in.

Always on the outside of in.



Here we are at last facing oblivion...

And this is where finally it ends.

You don't belong here.

Holding fast to each of our sins.

With hope by my side, I'll survive to see the dawn.

Believe me or not... you owe me.

I owe you nothing!

I gave your life a purpose!

I owe you nothing but your death!

Without me you wouldn't have learned a thing!

ANTHRAX lyrics - Big Fat

Looming large like a favorite son

One more time comes my obsession

Like a mountain stream that ends in mud

I'm wading in shit waiting for the flood

Sinking



You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me hating

You did, you did, you did, you did

Contemplating



I'm drinking strength for comic relief

While I'm growing super weak in the knees

You asked me can I deliver

Like a monster crossing the Hudson River

Stomping



You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me waning

You did, you did, you did, you did

Slowly draining

Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor

You did, you did, you did, you did

And with vanity you want more



Big fat kill

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world



I'm biting my tongue so much it hurts

But at the same time I'm at a loss for words

The things I've seen should've left me blind

So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind

Laughing



You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me waning

You did, you did, you did, you did

Slowly draining

Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor

You did, you did, you did, you did

And with vanity you want more



Big fat kill

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world



Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world



You asked me can I deliver

Like a monster crossing the Hudson River

Carrying the weight of the world

In my hands

Carrying the weight of the world



The things I've seen should've left me blind

So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind

RICKY NELSON lyrics - How Long

How long before the train goes by

It never seems to get here

How long before the train goes by

Will I just sit here forever

How long



Time and time I've tried to speak

But no one seems to listen

And life's too short to carry on

So I guess I'll just sit here and listen

How long



Time goes so slowly when you want to go

And you can't find a reason to leave

I think you know what it's doing to me

And that's fine, if that's what you wanna see



How long before the train goes by

It never seems to get here

How long before the train goes by

Will I just sit here forever

How long

How long

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - I Don't Know And I Don't Care

Why does the sunset in the west?

And why does my heart keep beating in my chest?

What ever happened to the Duke of Earl?

I got a PBS mind in a MTV world.

Is it ignorance or apathy

I forgot these lessons taught to me.

Some say life isn't fair,

Hey, I don't know, I don't care.



Ambivalent, well, yes and no.

Hey where did all the hippies go?

Our conversation sounds like actors' lines.

Is it time for your medication or mine?

Is it ignorance or apathy

I forgot these lessons taught to me.

Some say life isn't fair,

Hey I don't know, I don't care.



Therapy is extremely expensive.

Poppin' bubblie wrap is radically cheap.

You choose which one helps with your problem.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

I'm gonna get some sleep.



Sandy beaches in distant reaches

And oh those lovely Georgia peaches.

It's never too much and never too late

To pack your bags and get out of state.

Is it ignorance or apathy

The worried will all disagree.

Some say life isn't fair,

Hell, I don't know and I don't care.



If you're looking for a quote from me

I'll be under the mango tree.

Just can't say how I'll get there

Hey, I don't know and I don't care.

I don't know and I don't' care.

I don't know and I don't care.

At his beach house on the moon.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Grapefruit Diet

Who's that waddlin' down the street

It's just me 'cause I love to eat

Fudge and Twinkies and deviled ham

Who's real flabby? Yes, I am!

Every picture of me's

Gotta be an aerial view

Now my doctor tells me

There's just one thing left to do



Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Throw out the pizza and beer

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Oh, get those jelly donuts out of here

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Might seem a little severe

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

I'm gettin' tired of my big fat rear

Blow, fatty!



Well, I used to live on chocolate sauce

Made sumo wrestlers look like Kate Moss

Walked down an alley and I got stuck

I got more rolls than a pastry truck

When I'm all done eating

I eat a little more

When I leave a room

First I gotta grease the door



Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Can't have another eclair

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

I gotta decrease my derriere



I'm on a Grapefruit Diet

I'm on a Grapefruit Diet

I'm on a Grapefruit Diet



No more pie now

No more creme brulee

Lay off the gravy

And souffle

No french fri-yi-yies now

No ice cream parfait

Mr. Cheese Nacho

Stay away



Oh I think I'd sell my soul

For a triple patty melt

But I need a boomerang

When I put on my belt



Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Lay off the 3 Musketeers

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Until my big booty disappears

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

Eat 'em till they're comin' out of my ears

Grapefruit Diet (Diet!)

'Cause I haven't seen my feet in years



I'm on a Grapefruit Diet

I'm on a Grapefruit Diet

I'm on a Grapefruit Diet



I think I'm about ready for a Quarter Pounder with extra cheese

I need a side order of onion rings

And don't forget to Super-Size that

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - I'd Like To Dial Your Number

I'd like to dial your number again

But I don't remember it so well.

I'd like to see you again

'cause I don't remember when



I said I wouldn't see you again

Been so long I don't remember when.



I'd like to kiss you one more time

Because I feel it might be different now.

I'd like to love you one more time

Because the last respect was mine.



Although I didn't have the time

Been so long just thought one more time.



So I'd like to dial your number again,

Seems that I remember it so well.

I'd like to see you again

'cause I don't remember when



I said I wouldn't see you again

Been so long, can you tell me when?

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - The Marching Dream

I have dreamed that many men

Have marched across this field

I have wished that I could take each man

And hold him against the flame in my heart



I had a dream that my face was old

And all the children came to see

First they laughed and then they ran

And I slammed the door behind them



And as the tears began to rise

You climbed the stairs

You came into my room

Where I was waiting there



Now I have dreamed of all men's arms

But this time it was you

I drew the curtains and it was dim

And it was strange and it was new



I have wished that I could hear

Each secret told

By lovers in the battle

With each shade of red and gold



I have wished that I could take each man

And hold him to the flame

And read the secret writing there

And know each one by name



I have dreamed that many men

Have marched across this field

I have wished that I could pour

My life into each one

Listening

Listening

Listening

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Corrido #1

(Cesar Rosas)



It's been a long and loney lonely year

Since the last time I saw you my dear

Don't you remember when I was in my surrender

I said I'd always love you endlessly



Hey little sweetheart, so how you doing now?

I thought without me you probably would drown

I guess I was wrong and for that it is so long

Take care my darling, I hope to see you around



Parting with you I'll never ever get

Our love can be here and instantly regret

You showed me love and gave me understanding

Baby with out you it's going to leave me shredded



It's been a long and loney lonely year

Since the last time I saw you my dear

Don't you remember when I was in my surrender

I said I'd always love you endlessly

I said I'd always love you endlessly

I said I'd always love you endlessly

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - First Girl I Loved

(Robin Williamson)



[From the album "Rubaiyat: Elektra's 40th Anniversary"]



First girl I loved-

Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye song

When I was seventeen, I used to know you

And I haven't seen you now in so many years

And the last time I saw you

You said you joined the Church of Jesus

But me I remember your long red hair

Falling in our faces as I kissed you



I just want you to know I just had to go

I just want you to know I just had to grow

And you're probably married now

With a house and car and all

And you turned into a grown-up female stranger

If I was lyin' by you now, I wouldn't be here at all



Well we parted so hard

Me rushing 'round New York with a guitar

Making love to people I didn't even like to see

And I still sometimes think of you

As I lay here in the six at morning

And in the lonely midnight

I've got to hold your face before me



I just want you to know I just had to go

I just want you to know I just had to grow

And you're probably married now

With kids and all

And you turned into a grown-up female stranger

If I was lyin' by you now, I'd just have to fall



And I never slept with you

Though we must have made love a thousand times

'Cause we were just young

Didn't have no place to go



I just want you to know I just had to go

I just want you to know I just had to grow

So its goodbye First Love

And I hope you're fine

I have a sweet woman

Maybe someday she'll have babies by me

(She pretty)

She's a true friend of mine

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Ain't It A Shame

(Graham Russell)



Hit with the bug to run, you didn't go to college we can use you son

You look like the pride of your home town

But how can you hold out when your luck is down



[Chorus:]

Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame.

Because I'm too tired to run around

Meeting people from the wrong side of town

Looking for a place to live, I've got no money nothing to give, listen

All you gotta do is look around for something that's new

find a job that's stimulating, that's easy and I'm still waiting



[Chorus]



I've stood in line and done my time

With nothin' to do all day

I've stood in line with all my friends

With nothin' to say all day,

I've stood in line and done my time

With nothin' to do all day

I've stood in line with all my friends

With nothin' to say all day, nothin' to say all day.

Got brains but got no drive

Money's cheap, the roads are wide

All the good positions go too fast

I need a job I know will last

I've got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom

Keep your head down and don't go slow

But don't forget to stop with the whistle.



[Chorus]

BUDDY GUY lyrics - Let Me Love You Baby (Version 3)

(Willie Dixon)



Well now, ooh wee baby, woman I declare, you sure look fine

Oh, ooh wee baby, I declare, you sure look fine



Well there's a girl like you a make many a man change his mind

I said now, baby, when you walk, woman you know you shake just like a willow tree

Oh baby, when you walk woman, you know you, shake just like a willow tree

Why does a girl like you woman would love to make a fool of me



Oh, Let me love you baby

Let me love you baby

Let me love you baby

Let me love you baby

Let me love you baby 'til your good love drive me crazy

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Big Mac

(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1974)



Big Mac movin' down the highway sound. Got it wide open and he's southway bound.

I had my pack over my shoulder. Somehow I don't feel much older.

Captain layin' on the barroom floor. Ain't a-goin' back to that town no more.

Well, he said I looked funny, won't leave me alone.

Mmm... Big Mac, move on now and take me home.



Take me where I can be free. Take me where my lungs can breathe.



Big wheels hummin', hear the highway scream. Big Mac movin' on through the rain.

Headlights playin' like an old the-a-ter. If I don't go now I can't go later.

Velvet lady on a sunlit porch. Cigarette burnin' like a noonday torch.

I stayed a little while and I stayed a little longer. It got a little wild and it got a little warmer.

Turn me loose and take me home.



Take me where I can be free. Take me where my lungs can breathe.

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Legend Of The Pearls

[Verse:]

"Pearls mean tears" is a saying old

Years ago it was found I'm told

In a legend I'll disclose

Here's how the story goes

Once a maid on her wedding day

Lost her love who had sailed away

His ship returning home

Disappeared in the angry foam

Beside the sea she sat and cried

A most unhappy girl

And ev'ry tear that fell below

Became a precious pearl



[Refrain:]

Strings of teardrops

That you and I call pearls



Fell from the eyes of a beautiful bride

Who sat and cried by the seaside

And when a



Crown of silver

Replaced her golden curls



She had spent all her years shedding sad little tears

Just to make your string of pearls

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Sail Away

I could live inside a tepee

I could die

in Penthouse thirty-five

You could lose me on the freeway

But I would still

make it back alive.



As long as we can sail away

As long as we can sail away

There'll be wind in the canyon

Moon on the rise

As long as we can sail away.



See the losers in the best bars

Meet the winners in the dives

Where the people are the real stars

All the rest of their lives.



As long as we can sail away

As long as we can sail away

There'll be wind in the canyon

Moon on the rise

As long as we can sail away.



There's a road

stretched out between us

Like a ribbon on the high plain

Down from Phoenix through Salinas

'Round the bend and back again.



As long as we can sail away

As long as we can sail away

There'll be wind in the canyon

Moon on the rise

As long as we can sail away

As long as we can sail away.

JANET JACKSON lyrics - What's Ur Name

Hold up

Slow it down

I can see you new in town

Cuz I'd never

Forget you face

That smile you wear

Is amazin

Just wanna know

Where you headed

I could roll

Wit you baby

Make some room

In your life

I don't wanna take up time

So baby what's your name



What's your name babe

Do you live around here

Cuz I ain't never seen you before

But I wanna see you some more

What's you name babe

Put it right in my Sidekick

And I'll hit you back

Soon as I get home



I'll put you in

My favorites

The swag you got

Left a print

In my mind

As time goes by

All I can think of is you

Why you gotta be so fly

Wish I could see you again

Got me walkin round

Lookin for you

I'm trippin

Damn what you do to me

Can't believe how you got me and

I don't even know your name



Your not some random guy

I can't let this moment pass me by

I gotta do what I gotta do

Take advantage

Make the first move

Cuz I don't wanna have to regret it

I just wanna know your name

LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS lyrics - Smokes Like Lightnin'

(Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins)



Whoa, it smoke like lightnin', yeah but shine like gold

Don't you hear me talking pretty baby,

Smoke like lightnin', yeah but shine like gold

Yeah you know I see my little fair one,

Lying there on a cooling bowl



Yes I see the hearse one morning backed up to our door

Don't you hear me talking?

Soon one morning, backed up to our door

Well you know I could see my little baby,

Lying there on a cooling bowl



Well my baby died and left me,

Laid her on a cooling bowl

Yes she died and she left me,

They laid her on a cooling bowl

Well they said, Lightnin' she's gone and left you now boy,

You will never see her smiling face no more



Well it was sad...



Well I followed my baby, followed my baby,

Down to her burying ground

Well I followed my baby, followed her,

Down to her burying ground

Yeah it didn't hurt me so bad till I'd seen,

Poor miss when they let her down



You know I done lost my little fair one,

I guess the next thing will be me

I done lost my little fair one,

I guess the next thing will be me

Whoa, I ain't dead, no boys,

But po' Lightnin' sinking by degree

*degree

D. J. JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE lyrics - Time To Chill

[Fresh Prince:]

For years I have been waitin and hesitatin to make a

Rap record, that had the pace of a

Slow song, quiet storm, chillin while the fire is warm

You and your girl, with this record on

Your radio or stereo, I don't know

I love you so is what you'll be sayin, while this record's playin

You reminscin and kissin your girl

Relax, lay back, unwind, cause now is time to chill



Setting the mood, by the use of this groove

Is an ingenious, perceptive, brilliant, a very clever move

Because the bassline, combined with the fresh rhyme

At a slow tempo enticed passion to grow

But if it's not passion, for which you search

Then use the song as a massage after a hard day's work

And if it's true that music calms the savage beast

Play this cut in the jungle and put the lions to sleep

Take a deep breath, stretch, kick off your footwear

Put on the tape of this record, but beware

Caution, warning, it's your decision

There's nothin stronger that you can buy, without prescription

It's soothing, somewhat hypnotic

A rhythmic anesthetic it's practically a narcotic

You want it? We got it - come get it we're widdit

Because it's all at the push of a button, yo Jeff, hit it!



The objective, of this musical extravaganza

Is to enlighten you, stanza by stanza

Verse after verse, have been precisely arranged

Rearranged and then changed until the best remained

The result being, this incredible song

So for at least eight hours a day, you'll have this record on

In the morning and at night in your room

And all through the afternoon, you will be

Listening, mentally rapped up in the cut

Some people will sit down and some will choose to get up

But whatever you choose, just keep your ear to the wax

Because we got somethin def that other rappers lack

We haven't been able to put our fingers on what it is

But it's different and it's def and it appeals to kids

And teens and adults and senior citizens too

And I'd be willing to bet, that it appeals to you, too!

So if you're not into rap, give us a chance

To change your mind, and to make you dance

To this lyrical miracle, this musical discovery

But yo I wanna chill for a second, yo Jeff, cover me



It's like paradise, this music is nice

It makes you hot if you want it too, or twice as cold as ice

It brings love to the heart of a criminal

With this subliminal power, all the women'll

Flock while all the guys rocks, when it's on your box

It gained us a much bigger reputation than the White Sox

You may ask yourself are we that famous?

Bust this, the Queen of Spain knows what my real name is

Our time is runnin short so I'll bid you farewell

You know this cut is so def, that you have been overwhelmed

Be cool, be chill, relax, have no fear..

.. I'm outta here

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Without Love (There Is Nothing)

I awakened, whoa this morning,

And I was filled with despair

All my dreams, turned to ashes and gall,

And as I looked back on my life

It was barren and bare

And without love I have nothing,

I have nothing at all

Once I had, whoa a sweetheart

Who loved only me

There was nothing, that she would not give,

But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see

That a heart without love cannot live

Whoa, without love I have nothing,

Whoa, without love, friends I have nothing, at all

Ohhh, I have conquered, yeah the world

Oh-hooo, tell me what did I have?

Without love, ohh, I have nothing now, at all

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Lady

Lady, you come across the water,

Well don't you think you oughta?

Be waiting a while,

Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,

Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha

Flying away a-ha, flying away.



'Cause there's nowhere to go,

Though the road is out stretching before you,

and the farther you go,

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

and you know just who you are

and you know that there's something between us,

and you like what you feel, but

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

-Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh-no



Oh-la-la-la-la *4 Arrgh *3



Mister, you better get a move on

You better get a fix on,

Mmm-you better walk straight.

I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh,

take me as you find me,

Oh, I'm needing your love so bad *3



And there's nowhere to go,

though the road is out stretching before you,

and the farther you go,

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

and you know just who you are

and you know that there's something between us, and,

you like what you feel, but,

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

But,

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sad.

(Takin' the long way, and no turning back)

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - I Have The Touch

The time I like is the rush hour, cos I like the rush

The pushing of the people - I like it all so much

Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes

I move with the movement and... I have the touch



I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark

Any chance collision and I light up in the dark

There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair

Oh, do I dare... I have the touch



Wanting contact

I'm wanting contact

I'm wanting contact with you

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Give me the thing I understand

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Shake those hands, shake those hands



Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do

All those introductions, I never miss my cue

So before a question, so before a doubt

My hand moves out and... I have the touch



Wanting contact

I'm wanting contact

I'm wanting contact with you

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Give me the thing I understand

Shake those hands, shake those hands



Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees

Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease

I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs

Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems

to please



I need contact

I need contact

Nothing seems to please

I need contact

VANESSA WILLIAMS lyrics - What Child Is This

What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary`s lap asleeping

Whom angels breed with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch our keeping



This, this is christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing



Haste, haste'll bring him lord

The babe the son of Mary



So bring him incense, bring him gold

Come plesant king to him

The king of kings salvations brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him



Raise, raise the son on high

The virgin sings a lullaby



Joy, joy for christ is born

The babe was son of Mary



What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary`s lap asleeping

Whom angels breed with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch our keeping



Raise, raise the son on high

The virgin sings a lullaby



Joy, joy for christ is born

The babe was son of Mary

CHUBBY CHECKER lyrics - The Fly

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Valley Of Tears

(A. Domino - D. Bartholomew)



I want you to take me

Where I belong.

Where hearts have been broken

With a kiss and a song.

Spend the rest of my days

Without any cares.

Everyone understands me,

In the valley of tears

Soft words have been spoken,

So sweet and low.

But my mind is made up

Love has to go.

Spend the rest of my days

Without any cares

Everyone understands me,

In the valley of tears



I want you to take me

Where I belong

Where hearts have been broken

With just a kiss and a song

Spend the rest of my days

Without any cares

Everyone understands me,

In the valley of tears

STATUS QUO lyrics - Perfect Remedy

(Rossi/Frost)



I thought that you would leave my memory

I didn't think you'd stay in mind, I didn't think at all

At least I thought that with some misery

I'd find a way to have it all, and with or without you



But it's all right, this or any way

It's all right, which any other way

Any night or any other day

It's all right, put it another way

You do like you do when you do what you do like I do

Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control



You thought you had the perfect remedy

A perfect remedy for me, a remedy for all

You say at last you tried so pleasantly

To find a way to have it all, or have a drink on me



But it's all right, this or any way

It's all right, which any other way

Any night or any other day

It's all right, put it another way

You do like you do when you do what you do like I do

Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control



I guess it's just a faded memory

That comes along with certainty, then goes and fades away

But it's all right, this or any way

It's all right, which any other way

Any night or any other day

It's all right

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Concentration Moon

Concentration Moon

Over the camp in the valley

Concentration Moon

Wish I was back in the alley

With all of my friends,

Still running free:

Hair growing out

Every hole in me

AMERICAN WAY

How did it start?

Thousands of creeps

Killed in the park

AMERICAN WAY

Try and explain

Scab of a nation

Driven insane

Don't cry

Gotta go bye bye

SUDDENLY: DIE DIE

COP KILL A CREEP! pow pow pow



Gary Kellgren: Tomorrow I get to do another Frank Zappa creation. . . and the day after that. . . and the day after that. . . also at the same time I get to work with The Velvet Underground which is as shitty a group as Frank Zappa's group



JCB: Hi, boys & girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black, and I'm the Indian of the group



Concentration Moon

Over the camp in the valley

Concentration Moon

Wish I was back in the alley

With all of my friends,

Still running free:

Hair growing out

Every hole in me

AMERICAN WAY

Threatened by US

Drag a few creeps

Away in a bus

AMERICAN WAY

Prisoner: lock

SMASH EVERY CREEP

IN THE FACE WITH A ROCK



Don't cry

Gotta go bye bye

SUDDENLY: DIE DIE

COP KILL A CREEP! pow pow pow

JOHN STEWART lyrics - Gold

When the lights go down in the California town

People are in for the evening

I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar

My heart beatin' time with my breathin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold



Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas

And he makes two fifty for an hour

He's got rythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans

Sings rock and roll in the shower

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold



Ah, the California girls are the greatest in the world

Each one's a song in the making

Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody

The story is there for the takin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold



Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold



When the lights go down in the California town

People are in for the evening

I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar

My heart beatin' time with my breathin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold



Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

People out there turnin' music into gold

People out there turnin' music into gold



People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold

People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Much Of You

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[John 3:30 / Galatians 6:14]



How could I stand here

And watch the sun rise

Follow the mountains

Where they touch the sky

Ponder the vastness

And the depths of the sea

And think for a moment

The point of it all was to make much of me

'Cause I'm just a whisper

And You are the thunder and...



[Chorus:]

I want to make much of You, Jesus

I want to make much of Your love

I want to live today to give You the praise

That You alone are so worthy of

I want to make much of Your mercy

I want to make much of Your cross

I give You my life

Take it and let it be used

To make much of You



And how can I kneel here

And think of the cross

The thorns and the whip and the nails and the spear

The infinite cost

To purchase my pardon

And bear all my shame

To think I have anything worth boasting in

Except Your name

'Cause I'm a sinner

And You are the Savior and...



This is Your love, oh, God

Not to make much of me

But to send Your own Son

So that we could make much of You

For all eternity

CHICAGO lyrics - In Terms Of Two

(Peter Cetera)



You played the part of this hard to get

And somehow you knew that I couldn't forget

And though I don't think in terms of two

I got it bad for you

And when you passed me along the way

I couldn't speak, so you didn't stay

And though I don't think in terms of two

You're breaking my heart

Shaking me up the part

Breaking my heart

Shaking me up the part again

When it appeared to me I was found

And nothing I did could bring me around

And though I don't think in terms of two

I saw it there in you

So now if you'd only understand

That without you here

I'd be half of a man

And though I don't think in terms of two

You're breaking my heart

Shakin me off the part

Breaking my heart

Shakin me off the part again

Because of you

Because of me

The times are right

I disagree

Before you leave

I want you to see

Woah, what you've done to me

AEROSMITH lyrics - Toys In The Attic

in the attic

lights

voices scream

nothin' seen

real's the dream

leaving the things that are real behind

leaving the things that you love from mind

all of the things that you learned from fears

nothin' is left for the years



[repeat chorus]



toys, toys, toys

in the attic

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Love Is Just A Breath Away

Deep in the night, when you're

Away from me

I'm reachin' out just to touch you

In my dreams

Countin' the hours 'till you'll be

Here again

So hard to wait, got to have you

Close to me

'cause baby



You, turn my nights to day

When your love, love is just a

Breath away



Somethin' inside has taken

Over me

So baby, can't you see you

Captured my heart

I can't disguise the things you

Make me feel

I should have known this was

Magic right from the start



'Cause baby, you turn my nights to day

When your love, love is just a breath away

We, we don't have a word to say

Our hearts can speak a thousand ways

When love is just a breath away



Take me, take me into paradise

Show me

All the love that's in your eyes

Light up my life



You, you turn my nights to day

When your love, love is just a breath away

We, we don't have a word to say

Our heart can speak a thousand ways

When love is just a breath away

You, you turn my nights to day

When your love, love is just a breath away

KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - World Still Turns

Oh oh

Oh wah oh

Oh oh oh



If there was a chance

To save our broken romance

I'd let it go

'Cos now I know

That life doesn't end

You can start again

All isn't gone

Just carry on

Be your own best firend



It's easy to survive

Now that I finally realise that



[Chorus:]

The world still turns

The stars still shine

The way they did when you were mine

A broken heart

Is a lesson learned

Though we're apart

Baby the world still turns



I couldn't believe

That you were going to leave

Without a care

Heading somewhere elsewhere

Ohh my aching heart

Never thought that we would part

What could I do - my love for you

I as honest from the start

Time takes away the pain

And the sun will shine again, cause



[Chorus]



It's easy to survive

Now that I finally realise that



[Chorus]



[Repeat and fade]

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Next Generation

(Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)



You're playin' around with money and fear

And a power you can't control

And the zimmermen grin their perjured grins

Sayin': there's no risk at all!

Look into the eyes of the next generation

I know you would never dare

You're layin' the tracks of the ultimate sin

Like Himmler and you don't care

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few

To cut a long story short

It only takes a few words...

Oh my how it hurts..!

Look into the eyes of the next generation...

Look into the eyes of the next generation...

Your orders filtered through the ranks

Intentions you can't hide

With tightened lips you're sinking ships

In the shadows of the night

You presidents of genocide

You ministers of crime

You're laughing at your firemen

From miles behind,

From miles behind the lines..!

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few

To cut a long story short

It only takes a few words...

Oh my how it hurts..!

THE KINKS lyrics - You Don't Know My Name

I've been travelling on this road

I get the feeling its getting on

I keep moving on

I keep rolling on

But does anybody know my name



Travelling oh so long

I get the feeling thats something's wrong

I keep rolling on

I keep rolling on

But does anybody know my name.



How could you believe when you don't know my name



[Repeat]



I see life is such a simple game

I sit and watch it from my moving train

A bumpy ride to-day

I'm not alone this way

Does anybody know my name.



Arrested in '69

For upsetting a tourist guide

Well pay the fine or jail

I just smiled and said

That I'm oh so glad to be alive.



How could you believe when you don't know my name



[Repeat]



How could you believe when you don't understand.

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - All The Pretty Little Ponies

Hush a bye

Don't you cry

Go to sleep my little baby

When you wake

You shall have

All the pretty little ponies



In your bed

Momma said

Baby's riding off to dreamland

One by one

They've begun

Dance and prance for little baby

Blacks and bays, dapples and greys

Running in the night

When you wake

You shall have

All the pretty little ponies



Can you see the little ponies

Dance before your eyes

All the pretty little ponies

Will be there when you arise



Can you see the little ponies

Shining before your eyes

All the pretty little ponies

Gonna be there when you arise



Hush a bye

Don't you cry

Go to sleep my little baby

When you wake

You shall have

All the pretty little ponies

All the pretty little ponies

All the pretty little ponies

BEE GEES lyrics - I Don't Wanna Be The One

It's too late to turn back now

There ain't no space back there

And how did I begin to lose my self control

How did I begin to lose my self control



There ain't a thing that you could give me

With the love forever with me

That's the only thing that satisfies my soul

That's the only thing that satisfies my soul



I don't wanna be the one

Remember it was only fun

Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end

I don't wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry

You know as well as I know, you're my only friend



There ain't a thing that you could give me

With the love forever with me

That's the only thing that satisfies my soul

That's the only thing that satisfies my soul



I don't wanna be the one

Remember it was only fun

Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end

I don't wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry

You know as well as I know, you're my only friend



I don't wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry

You know as well as I know you're my only friend

You know as well as I know you're my only friend

You're my only friend

My only friend

My only friend

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON II lyrics - One Way Out

(James Elmore / Marshall Sehorn / Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller))



Raise your window,

I ain't goin' out that door

Raise your window,

I ain't goin' out that door

'Cause the man out there might,

Be your man I don't know



If you raise your window,

I can ease out soft and low

If you raise your window,

I can ease out soft and low

Your neighbors gonna be talkin',

That stuff me don't know



Ain't but one way out,

I ain't goin' out that door

Ain't but one way out,

I ain't goin' out that door

If I get away this time,

I won't be caught no more



Ain't but one way out,

I ain't goin' out that door

Ain't but one way out,

I ain't goin' out that door

If I get away this time,

I won't be caught no more

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - A Lot To Drink About

(Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Will Kimbrough)



Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed

That the news is all bad

Well, I think it’s time for a song about that



Up on the east side of Manhattan

They’re still dancing with the stars

While over in sub-prime city

It’s getting ugly in the local bars

Watching the news only gives me the blues

There’s too much going wrong



It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key

And write a high speed drinking song



Millionaires losing everything

Hey, welcome to the other side of life

There goes the yacht there goes the Rolls

But, you get to keep your wife



And don’t forget the automakers

Swimming upstream like a trout

They let the shit hit the fan

And then made a plan

We’ve got a lot to drink about



There’s the price of oil

The war of the spoils

Here’s your bucket for the big bailout

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan

We’ve got a lot to drink about



Now Madoff made off with all the money

And his clients are down to skunk weed

Repeat after me it’s so easy to see

We’re only talking simple greed



And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold

While Bush and Cheney ain’t around

And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers

From Key West to London town



With the price of oil

War of the spoils

Here’s your bucket for the big bailout

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan

We’ve got a lot to drink about



So pour me some Tennessee whiskey

Pour me a fine Jamaican rum

That loud mouth soup

Can get ya kind of looped

Tequila, of course I want some!



Well the family devalues

And little children count their net worth

And the truth wherever it’s hiding

Can’t be found on Google Earth

Citibank’s buying jets with our money

I wanna flog ‘em with a buggy whip

Let’s hope Barack and Joe won’t let the volcano blow

And patch the hole in our sinking ship



There’s the price of oil

The war of the spoils

Here’s your bucket for the big bailout

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan

We’ve got a lot to drink about



Recession, opression, depression good God

CNN keeps bummin’ me out

I can’t take another doomsday minute

Got a lot to drink

A lot to think

A lot to drink about



God bless America

CARLY SIMON lyrics - With A Few Good Friends

(Carly Simon)



With a few good friends

And a stick or two

A house is built at a corner called Pooh

With a friend and a stick

Or three or four

A house is built where it wasn't before

With a window here

And there a door

And a nail and peg

For the coat of Eeyore



With a few good friends

And a stick or two

A house is built at a corner called Pooh

With a friend and a stick

Or three or four

A house is built where it wasn't before



Dress it down

Or dress it up

Invite Tigger for tea

And Owl for supper



With a few good friends

And a stick or two

A house is built at a corner called Pooh

With a friend and a stick

Or three or four

A house is built where it wasn't before



With a few good friends...

[Repeat and fade]

BRENDA LEE lyrics - The Lumberjack Had A Lady

(Denice & Christopher Crockett)



The lumberjacks were sittin' in the moonlight

When she stepped from the whisperin' pines

A vision of a lady in a black satin gown

With a fiery look in her eyes

She told them not to ask where she came from

As she slipped off her shawl by the fire

She said, "I wonder if you gentlemen

Could keep me for the night"

And when she smiled the flames grew higher



The lumberjacks had a lady

She was wild as the night in the woods

The lumberjacks had a lady

And they never ever had it so good



They took her to a shack in the shadows

And they watched her as she put on the light

She had a look in her eyes that made men realize

The things they were thinkin' were right

As the moon grew dim the first snuck in

With a bottle and a kerosene lamp

Before the break of the day they all knew the way

From their cabin to the lady in the shack



The lumberjacks had a lady

She was wild as the night in the woods

The lumberjacks had a lady

And they never ever had it so good



I know they light the logs at night

And talk about her

Some say she was a spirit of the fire

And some of them say she was just a runaway

But as they talk the flames grow higher



The lumberjacks had a lady

She was wild as the night in the woods

The lumberjacks had a lady

And they never ever had it so good

LITA FORD lyrics - Where Will I Find My Heart Tonight

I found hunger in the fields of plenty

I found freedom in a ball and chain

I found madness in the voice of reason

I found mercy at the hangman's gate



I've held the world in the palm of my hand

And watched as it slipped through my fingers like sand

Here I am alone again



Where do I turn

When all I see around me is a lie?

If I close my eyes

Where will I find my heart tonight?

I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times

And I'm so cold inside

Where will I find my heart tonight?



I found peace in the heat of the battle

I found treason in the eyes of a friend

I found hate in the words of a preacher

I found fortune in a beggar's hands



I close my eyes and pray for the light

To guide my way

Into the night, I fall

And the world is crashin' down around my soul



Why do I turn

When all I see around me is a lie?

If I close my eyes

Where will I find my heart tonight?

I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times

And I'm so cold inside

Where will I find my heart tonight?



I have searched a thousand years

Through the darkness and the tears

And I don't think I can take another night

Without you here



Where do I turn

When all I see around me is a lie?

If I close my eyes

Where will I find my heart tonight?

I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times

And I'm so cold inside

Where will I find my heart tonight?



Where will I find my heart tonight?

SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Rhythm Of Your Heartbeat

Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time with the rhythm of mine

And till the end of our life

We'll be together



When I was young

My momma said, hey son

Some day you're gonna find

That no man is an island

That's strange

Cause when I was sixteen

My pappa said the same

And my pappa was a wise man

Time pass and suddenly I knew

That all they said was true

Cause here I am with you



Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time with the rhythm of mine

And till the end of our life

We'll be together

Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time till we're older, we pray

Then we'll turn to each other and say

Love last forever



A time my whole life seemed to be

A sad, unfished song

Without a rhythm or meaning

I played in such a minor key

My words came out all wrong

They lost that loving feeling

I thought I could face life on my own

But I should of know

That no man can stand alone



Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time with the rhythm of mine

And till the end of our life

We'll be together

Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time till we're older, we pray

Then we'll turn to each other and say

Love last forever



Can you hear it beatin'

Can you hear it beatin'

Ah let it beat on baby

Till the end of time



Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time with the rhythm of mine

And till the end of our life

We'll be together

Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time till we're older, we pray

Then we'll turn to each other and say

Love last forever



Yea, let the rhythm of your heartbeat

Play in time with the rhythm of mine

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - I Won't Mention It Again

(Cameron L. Mullins/Carolyn Jean Yates)



I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted

You no longer feel the love I have for you

What happens now, what will I do with all the memories

And the dreams of all the things we'll never do



But I won't mention it again

I won't think about tomorrow

Just let it happen

Live each hour day by day

But let me tell you before you go, how much I love you

Then I won't mention it again

I won't mention it again



I feel my life

Has reached an early sign of autumn

In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold

And everything that once was warm and new is gone now

Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul

ROXY MUSIC lyrics - A Song For Europe

(Ferry/Mackay)



Here as I sit

At this empty cafe

Thinking of you

I remember

All those moments

Lost in wonder

That we'll never

Find again

Though the world

Is my oyster

It's only a shell

Full of memories

And here by the Seine

Notre-Dame casts

A long lonely shadow

Now - only sorrow

No tomorrow

There's no today for us

Nothing is there

For us to share

But yesterday

These cities may change

But there always remains

My obsession

Through silken waters

My gondola glides

And the bridge - it sighs...

I remember

All those moments

Lost in wonder

That we'll never

Find again

There's no more time for us

Nothing is there

For us to share

But yesterdays

Ecce momenta

Illa mirabilia

Quae captabit

In aeternum

Memor

Modo dolores

Sunt in dies

Non est reliquum

Vero tantum

Comminicamus

Perdita

Tous ces moments

Perdus dans l`enchantement

Qui ne reviendront

Jamais

Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous

Pour nous il n'y a rien

A partager

Sauf le passe

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Be With Me

(Carly Simon/Zach Weisner)



River runs to the sea

Salmon runs to the sea

If you need someone

You can run to me



Flowers grow to the sun

Shines on everyone

If you've lost the warmth

I will give you some



Lay back on the starry night

Feel as big and as small as you are



Well I see who you are

And I like what I see

If you want to be

You can be with me

MEAT LOAF lyrics - You're Right, I Was Wrong

Should've listened when you said I'd miss you

Should've listened but I could not hear

You said I'd want you back

I said not a chance

Now I can see I was so blind



You're right I was wrong

To ever leave you

I made a mistake

I'm sorry now

You're right I was wrong

To ever let you go

Now I know, now I know

You're right I was wrong



Couldn't see it when I had you with me

Couldn't see that I had everything

And now I see it clear

And you're not here

You said someday I'd change my mind



You're right I was wrong

To ever leave you

I made a mistake

I'm sorry now

You're right I was wrong

To ever let you go

Now I know, now I know

You're right I was wrong



If I could have one more chance to hold you

I would keep you here in my arms

And never let you go

Because now I know



You're right I was wrong

To ever leave you

I made a mistake

I'm sorry now

You're right I was wrong

To ever let you go

Now I know, baby now I know

You're right I was wrong

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Pitch The Baby

Here, too, have to have been to care for ya'

Only no-one to love missed his friend

Pitch the baby should be their murmur

Slip me home as we seal us in

You and that land which one dresh(?) are leaving

Hold me onto a mess a plenty

Me and that land should grow, end to a hard part

Meant a Christmas that's me and a friend

I only want to love you

I only want to love you

[x2]



Here, too, have to have been to care for me

I only want to love you

[x2]



I'm heart, and in space the plane

On fill our hearts' ascension(inside you)

It's heft driven since the urge

To sell the place isn't very, very, very big

[x2]



I'm heart, and in space the plane

On fill our hearts' ascension

(I only want to love you)

It's heft driven since the urge

To sell the place isn't very, very, very big

[x2]

TONY BANKS lyrics - Never Let Me Know

The key is in the front door

The clock is on the wall

The coals are in the fireplace

Nothing has moved at all

But as you look around you

Still nothings quite the same



The windows are cracked the curtains are torn

Your life disappoints if you want to be free

Hold me never let me know



Do you stand upon the station

Or are you on the train

Do you want to vanish

Or could we begin again

Do I just imagine

Or is it really true?



You want to be free to be on your own

To start a new life you want to leave me

Hold me never let me know



Never let me know

Never let the world we share together

Tumble, be destroyed

Never let me know

Always keep our dreams and memories

Cherished in your heart



On the road we travel

Sometimes I feel I know

You'd rather walk without me

Please say it isn't so

Just put your arms around me

And never let me go



Without you the world would be cruel and cold

It cannot be true that you want to be free

Hold me never let me go



Put your arms around me never let me go

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

I'm walking through the desert

And I am not frightened although it's hot

I have all that I requested

And I do not want what I haven't got

I have learned this from my mother

See how happy she has made me

I will take this road much further

Though I know not where it takes me

I have water for my journey

I have bread and I have wine

No longer will I be hungry

For the bread of life is mine

I saw a navy blue bird

Flying way above the sea

I walked on and I learned later

That this navy blue bird was me

I returned a paler blue bird

And this is the advice they gave me

"You must not try to be too pure

You must fly closer to the sea"

So I'm walking through the desert

And I am not frightened although it's hot

I have all that I requested

And I do not want what I haven't got

BLONDIE lyrics - Rapture (Original Promo Single Version)

Toe to toe

Dancing very slow

Barely breathing

Almost comatose

Wall to wall

People hypnotized

And they're stepping lightly

Hang each night in Rapture



Back to back

Sacrailiac

Spinless movement

And a wild attack



Face to face

Sadly solitude

And it's finger popping

Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture



Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind

Flash is fast, Flash is cool

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do

And you don't stop, sure shot

Go out to the parking lot

And you get in your car and you drive real far

And you drive all night and then you see a light

And it comes right down and lands on the ground

And out comes a man from Mars

And you try to run but he's got a gun

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head

And then you're in the man from Mars

You go out at night, eatin' cars

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too

Mercurys and Subarus

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

Then, when there's no more cars

You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet

Face to face, dance cheek to cheek

One to one, man to man

Dance toe to toe

Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars

Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars

Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall

He's gonna eat 'em all

Rapture, be pure

Take a tour, through the sewer

Don't strain your brain, paint a train

You'll be singin' in the rain

I said don't stop, do punk rock



Man to man, body muscular

Sismic decibel by the jugular

Wall to wall, tea time technology and a digital ladder

No sign of bad luck in rapture



Well now you see what you wanna be

Just have your party on TV

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on

And now he's gone back up to space

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race

And you hip-hop, and you don't stop

Just blast off, sure shot

'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars

And now he only eats guitars, get up!

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Talkin' To Messiah

It's your decision

This is your life

This is your moment in time

The deepest incision

It cuts like a knife

I'm waiting for some kind of sign



And you can't seem to find the door

You'll be searchin' for evermore



This is the movement

These are the times

These are the golden days

You give your commitment

You're full of desire

Are you ready to change your ways



Are you taking the easy way out

I can feel that your mind is in doubt

I will tell you again that the road never ends



Talkin' to messiah

Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you

Talkin' to messiah

Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you



Here is my spirit

Here is my flesh

Here is my body and soul

There is too many choices

There's to much to lose

And I want to know why you're cold



Are you taking the easy way out

I can feel that your mind is in doubt

I will tell you again that the road never ends



You know it's a shame

Buy your not to blame

You keep holding on

And you can't be wrong

It's a shame

Do you feel the same

You're caught in the rain

And don't look back

And you want so badly

Again



Talkin' to messiah

Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you

Talkin' to messiah

Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you

GARY MOORE lyrics - Don't Believe A Word

One, two, three



Don't believe me if I tell you.

Not a word of this is true.

Don't believe me if I tell you,

Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.



Don't believe me if I tell you

that I wrote this song for you.

There just might be some other silly pretty girl

I'm singing it to.



Don't believe a word,

'cause words are only spoken.

And a heart is like a promise,

Meant to be broken.



Don't believe a word,

For words can tell lies.

And lies are no comfort

When there's tears in your eyes.



Don't believe me if I tell you.

Not a word of this is true.

Don't believe me if I tell you,

Especially if I tell you, that I'm in love with you.



Don't believe a word.

Lord, don't believe a word.

Don't believe me, don't believe me.

Oh, not a single word.

Oh.

BLONDIE lyrics - Fan Mail

I set my hand to writing you

It drifted off the page

I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake

I haven't ate in days

For unspoken value, aesthetic and charm

I'd smile at you sideways

But the lighting is wrong, I'm taking a picture and counting the cost

While the bells in my ears keep ringing



I set my hand to writing you

It drifted of the page

I nearly fell, I feel like a lowlife in hell

And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days



Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2

Play to the posters on the wall of my room

Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you

And the bells in my ears keep ringing

And the bells in my ears keep ringing

In my ear bells are ringing

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Spare Me A Little Of Your Love

in-a my arms

and just listen to the night.

You must know that you have

certain charms,

and I feel,

and I feel the time is right.

Spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

Spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

And I know that I

feel much more

in-a

every single way,

[ended / and it's?] not the same

as before, it gets

stronger [stronger],

stronger every day.

Spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

Spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.



Now I know how the

sun must feel

every time it shines,

and I know that

this is real and I

want you to be mine.

So, spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

Spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

Come on, spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

One more time,

spare me a little,

spare me a little,

spare me a little of your love.

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I've Got-A Go Back To Texas

[1st verse:]

Far away out west in Texas

By the Rio Grande

There's a ranch of many acres on the prairie land

And I want you to be knowing

That's exactly where I'm going

In just a day or so

You'll see a satchel in my hand



[Refrain:]

I got-a go back, I got-a go back

I got-a go back to dear old Texas

To the ranch I left behind

And the girl who's on my mind

I couldn't remain, I'm taking a train

The Southern Pacific bound for Texas

I'm simply aching to skeedaddle

Upon a horse without a saddle

And ev'ry letter that I get from Texas

Is covered with a lot of Xes

I got-a go back, I got-a go back

To the girl I left behind



[2nd verse:]

Where the western sun is blazing

By the Rio Grande

I can see the cattle grazing on the prairie land

And it fills me with a yearning

That I ought to be returning

If you were ever there

I'm pretty sure you'd understand
