HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Show Me Girl

(Goffin / King)



A one way love can hang you up awful bad

And before I met you that's the only kind of love I had

So I just can't take your word

That things are gonna work out fine

You got to show me girl

Show me that you're really mine



If you're any better than the other girls I've known

You'll never prove it to me by words alone

So right from the very start

I'm laying it on the line

You got to show me girl

Show me that you're really mine



You got to show me you understand

When things don't go the way we planned

You got to show me you'll be true

Show me I'll be able to count on you



Oh I'd love to love you

You know I think you're out of sight

But first I've got to be sure you're gonna treat me right

If you really care, and you're not just wasting my time

Come on and show me girl

Show me that you're really mine



So if you really care

And you're not just wasting my time

Come on and show me girl

Show me that you're really mine

You got to show me girl

Show me that you're really mine

Come on and show me girl

Show me that you're really mine

THE WHO lyrics - A Legal Matter

I told you why I changed my mind

I got bored by playing with time

I know you thought you had me nailed

But I've freed my head from your garden rails



Now it's a legal matter, baby

You got me on the run

It's a legal matter, baby

A legal matter from now on



My mind's lost in a household fog

Wedding gowns and catalogs

Kitchen furnishings and houses

Maternity clothes and baby's trousers



Now it's a legal matter, baby

Marryin's no fun

It's a legal matter, baby

A legal matter from now on



I told you why I changed my mind

I got bored by playing with time

I know you thought you had me nailed

Well, I've freed my head from your garden rails



Now it's a legal matter, baby

You got me on the run

It's a legal matter, baby

A legal matter from now on



You ain't the first and you ain't the last

I gain and lose my women fast

I never want to make them cry

I just get bored, don't ask me why



Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do

And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you

Sorry, baby

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Children, Go Where I Send Thee

Children, go where I send thee,

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee one by one

One for the little bitty - baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem.



Children, go where I send thee,

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee two by two

Two for Paul and - Silas

One for the little bitty - baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem.



[Repeat in decending order:]

Three for the Hebrew children...

Four for the four that stood at the door...

Five for the gospel preachers...

Six for the six that never got fixed...

Seven for the seven that never got to heaven...

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate...

Nine for the nine all dressed so fine...

Ten for the ten commandments...

Eleven for the eleven deriders...

Twelve for the twelve Apostles...

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Fearless

No prayers left for heroes,

The dead won't see the ending,

War started by rich men

Won't stop the poor from dying



I'll grant you your death wish,

It's not just time I'm killing,

Blood's thicker than water,

It's too late to surrender



This will be your last stand,

I wash the blood from my hands



I am warrior,

I'm fearless



No Pain,

No mercy,

No weakness,

I, I, I'm fearless



I answer no questions,

You will obey my order,

I'll punish all sinners,

This battle has no borders



No saving salvation,

Your soul is stained and rusted,

I follow no leader,

My vigilante justice



I'd rather die on my feet

Than live a life on my knees



I am warrior,

I'm fearless



No Pain,

No mercy,

No weakness,

I, I, I'm fearless



My skin and bones drip off of me,

I'm more than man, more than machine



[Guitar Solo]



This will be your last stand,

I wash the blood from my hands



I am warrior,

I'm fearless



No Pain,

No mercy,

No weakness,

I, I...



I am warrior,

I'm fearless



No Pain,

No mercy,

No weakness,

I, I, I'm fearless

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Foxy Foxy

Baby Baby tried to phone you - they said you were gone

Baby Baby please come home to me where you belong

Foxy Foxy - you're all I have to hold

Don't leave me alone out in the cold

Foxy Foxy oh-oh-oh-oh

Foxy Foxy oh-oh-oh-oh

YELLO lyrics - Dr. Van Steiner

I can't separate your fiction from fact

You're lost, I know you're trying to wind your way back

You've been talking as fast as you can

I'm not listening anymore



Now baby

You're changing all the rules

You're taking advantage of a fool



Good evening

I'm Ed Burroughs

And the name of this show is "Person To Person"

Tonight we're visiting the home of a very famous motion picture

and television director

Dr. Van Steiner, I'm very sorry I'm unable to attend this tremendous

occassion being given in your honor

I would like to extend my sincerest best wishes to you

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I Love To Stay At Home

[1st verse:]

I don't go out nights

I'm not about nights

I'll tell you why I never roam

I love my home, so cozy

The dizzy night life may be the right life

But I don't like that kind of fun

At night when my work is done



[Refrain:]

I just love to stay at home in the evening

When the winter nights are cold

I love to sit around the fire harmonizing

"Darling, I am growing old"

While Mother darns my father's woolen hosiery

He's telling yarns of how he fought in "sixty-three"

I don't envy the cocktail sippers

Give me my carpet slippers

For I love to stay at home



[2nd verse:]

My cousin Mary

She's a canary

Each night she sings the Rosary

It sounds to me like Melba

When Uncle Louie who looks like Dewey

Recites "The picture on the wall"

It's simply Heaven, that's all

UFO lyrics - Don't Want To Lose You

Is she waiting now

Do you think she really really cares

Is she standing and looking with her hope

Her fingers through her hair



Looking at the future you and me baby

Life lately don't seem like wonderland

Nothing here nothing coming in

Money goes like a wino's gin

Slips through my hands



(1) (And) I know it ain't easy

I get drunk like a fool

There's a promise I made you darling now

Just one golden rule



(2) Hold on to this love

'Cos I don't want to lose you

Hold on to this love

'Cos I don't want to lose you



When the lights go down

Do you think she really really cares

As she's lying there with her arms around you

A strange affair



Looking at the lights on Lakeshore Drive

In the Windy City now

Will our love stay alive

Last night I held you in my arms

You looked and said "Baby, we will survive"



And I know it ain't easy

'Cos life gets so cruel

And there's a promise I made you darling now

Just one golden rule



(2) Repeat

(2) Repeat

(1) Repeat



Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to

Who you gonna see tonight babe

What you gonna wear, who you gonna know

Who you gonna see tonight my baby

From the back of a one dollar down

Did you ever think I wouldn't be around

This ain't a stand off ain't no fight

But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?



(2) Repeat

(2) Repeat and fade out

ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - King Of The Kats

Hot leather and sex

All the things that I dress in best

Ain't no way you can beat

The way I'm flyin fast on my feet



I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And I'm ready to roll

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And baby that's a fact alright



Quickest gun in the west

There ain't no question that I'm the best

Drinking till I die

You're sick and skinny well so am I



I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And I'm ready to roll

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And baby that's a fact alright



(Look Out!)



I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And I'm ready to roll

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats

And baby that's a fact alright

Ooh, that's alright

GARY MOORE lyrics - Showbiz Blues

Tell me anybody

Do you really give a damn for me?

I said, tell me anybody

Do you really give a damn for me?

'Cause I just got to tell you

'Bout a thing that's botherin' me



I was a ramblin' pony

I would roll, I would roll

I would roll from town to town

I was a ramblin' pony

People, I would roll from town to town

Yes, just looking for a sweet woman

And makin' all my love come on down

Yeah



If I needed anybody

Baby, I would take ya home with me

If I need anybody

Baby, I would take ya

Baby, I would take ya

Baby, I would take ya home with me

But I don't need anybody

Don't need anybody but him and me



And you're sittin' there so green

Believe me, man, I'm just the same as you, yeah

Said you're sittin' there so green

Believe me, man, I'm just the same as you

Do you want me to make a last cry or be satisfied?

That's exactly what I mean to do

GENESIS lyrics - Land Of Confusion

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

They're moving into the street.



Now did you read the news today

They say the danger's gone away

But I can see the fire's still alight

There burning into the night.



There's too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion.



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in.



Ooh Superman where are you now

When everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, the men of power

Are losing control by the hour.



This is the time

This is the place

So we look for the future

But there's not much love to go round

Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in.



I remember long ago -

Ooh when the sun was shining

Yes and the stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

As I held you tight

So long ago -



I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know, we'll never keep.



Too many men

There's too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion.



Now this is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth fighting for.



This is the world we live in

And these are the names we're given

Stand up and let's start showing

Just where our lives are going to.

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - I Can't Wait

Looking at the face of the one and only

Hoping just to find a loner's prayer

Hooking into feelings of the lonely

Groping in the emptiness of there

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me

I can't wait

I can't wait

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me

I can't wait another day

I can't wait



Fallen into circles of the colors

Wading in the fire that feels like pools

Wanting needing feeling one another

Never ending motionless and cool

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me

I can't wait

I can't wait

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me

I can't wait another day

I can't wait



By myself an aching for the morrow

Be still in the move or come too soon

Watching clocks and promise takes me under

Bide my time as wishes disappear

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me

I can't wait

I can't wait

I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me

I can't wait another day

I can't wait

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Got My Mojo Working

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you

I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do



I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand

I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand

I'm gonna have all you women right here at my command



Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you

I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do



I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice

I got some red hot tips I got to keep on ice



Got my mojo working

Got my mojo working

Got my mojo working

.....



But it - uh uh - just won't work on you

THE CHURCH lyrics - Ancient History

Sometimes I wonder how I got mixed up with you

You just cannot comprehend the things that I do

The truth is so fragile, the ties are so true

Lying in the nettles where the blossoms once grew



So now you're asking what is this mystery

And all these questions, ancient history



Sometimes I wonder what is left to be said

If I'm consumed and fading will the children be fed?

The roof is always creaking, the stone has been bled

You say I'm just existing and you leave me for dead



Sometimes I can see your love is a sled

Sliding down the slopes that will lead to your bed

Some of us are white, some of us are red

Some have got these visions going 'round in our heads



As you go just blow a kiss to me

And as it falls, ancient history



Sometimes a joke can get out of hand

Laughing like a conqueror in a new land

Convinced down to his buttons this was how it was planned

He turns his back on ruins, that were nothing but sand



Crossing your Alps the ice and cold blister me

And all the rest, ancient history

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Burner

Riots in the burning street

Crystal night outside

Brutal music in the night, enough to make you cry

Nobody knows how it is to sleep and drown the world

I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls



Outside in the distance, the city in the fire

See the houses burning down, mile after mile

I don't think you know about your future yet

I don't think you're gonna like the one you're going to get

Ghost rider in the sky



Burner



You will never stop me, you won't shut me down

This ain't no circus and I sure don't need no clowns

I can see things that you can't see

I can be the one that you can't be

The one you've always seen, the one you never see



Burner



Beat me like a hammer, baby, stick me like a pig

Throw me to the lions, baby, wear me like a wig

I am not only one to walk into the fire

I cannot be beaten, I cannot be like you

I cannot be otherwise, no matter what you do

I am the voice of broken glass

I am the voice to dribe you mad at last

I am the truth, the liar turned around



Burner

CHICAGO lyrics - Mah-Jong

A third floor walk-up...

One block east of chinatown.

She walked by my window,

While the rain is pouring down.

Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere

And it's clear she don't approve.

(and it's clear she don't approve)

Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.

And I...



She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

But she loves to play...



With the dark eyes burning,

I am opening the wall.

Can there be no other chance?

I feel my fortune's turning,

And I wish for nothing else at all.

Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair

Telling me the hands are clean.

On the... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.

And the game is over.



She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

Though I don't obey her,

Still she loves to play her



She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

But she loves to play...



A tree blows up

From where the lanterns light the parlors on the street

.... waiting at the.....

And though there are not many things a pawn would....

I'll beat.

We enjoyed the difference.



She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.

She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.

But she loves to play...

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Do I Belong

Been so long since I felt so strong

I'm scared to fall in love

Many times I've been hurt before

It seems I can't get enough

Since your touch put a spell on me

I cannot ease my mind

Is it you I've been looking for

I'm searching deep down inside



[Chorus:]

Hit me by surprise

Right between the eyes

Do I belong

Do I belong

Are you the one?

Reaching for the sky



I just hope that in time we'll know

It's not a fairy tale

Disbelief, that is all I feel

I've been through heaven and hell

Even though after what I know

I'm breaking down the walls

Feeling strong whether right or wrong

I'm gonna get through it all

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Starting Over Again

(Bruce Sudano/Donna Summer)



Mama moved out

Daddy sold the house

They split up the money

And went on their way



And all the king's horses

and all the kings men

Couldn't put mama and daddy back together again



Starting over again

Where should they begin

'Cause they've never been out on their own

Starting over again

Where do you begin

When your dreams are all shattered

and the kids are all grown

And the whole word cries



He got an apartment

She moved in with her sisters

He's schemin' big deals with one of his friends

While she sits at home

Sortin' out pieces

Of left over memories from thirty odd years



Starting over again

Where do you begin

When you've never been out on your own

Starting over again

Never any end



What will the neighbors say

They're talkin' talk it's small town news

They're facing fifty years old wrecking up a happy home

And this far down the road

You find yourself alone

Two fools

Starting over again

Where do you begin

When you've never been out on your own

Starting over again

Never any end

When your dreams are all shattered

And the kids are all grown

And the whole world cries



And all the kings horses

And all the kings men

Couldn't put mama and daddy back together again

DANZIG lyrics - When Death Had No Name (1992 Version)

When death had no name

Time stood still

Life had no ending then



Before the word

There was no end

No fear, no mortal pain, no name

Nothing



And this thing mortals fear

Dubbed evil, hungry

Waiting to no avail

Withering



Life without an end

Death without a name

Without a name



And our eden burns in flames

Can our eden still remain

Still remain



Can you really make it end, yea



And this thing mortals fear

Dubbed evil, hungry

Waiting to no avail

Withering



Life without an end

Death without a



Yea, when death had no name

Time stood still

Life had no ending then, yea

Oh oh yea, yea

Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

BILLY IDOL lyrics - Sherri

(Billy Idol)



[Chorus:]

Come home, it's a brand new day

Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

Come on, there's a devil to pay

Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway



Sheri's on the run

'Cos no one seems to listen

There's something deep inside

Heartfelt that she's missing

They are no in your shoes

They are no you

Poor fools



You know it's a world of confusion

All usin' and self-abusin'

So...



[Chorus]



"When I'm out having fun

The whole world seems to glisten"

She said

"There's a fire going on

The choppers ain't detecting"

She said

"We have such simple views"

So I must see inside of you

Now that my world is changing

C'mon back, I should be celebrating

So...



[Chorus]



Duckin' in and out

Hiding from authority

Sittin' in a wayside home

I said come back to me



Duckin' in and out

Hiding from authority

Sittin' in a wayside home

I said come back to me



[Chorus]



This is a day in a life as it happens

Play by play, minute by minute

This is the way of life as it happens

Day by day, hour by hour



[Chorus]



Sherri runaway

Sherri runaway

Sherri runaway

Sherri run

Come home

There's a brand new

Brand new day

TOM WAITS lyrics - On The Nickel

sticks and stones will break my bones, but i always will be true, and when

your mama is dead and gone, i'll sing this lullabye just for you, and what

becomes of all the little boys, who never comb their hair, well they're lined

up all around the block, on the nickel over there.



so you better bring a bucket, there is a hole in the pail, and if you don't

get my letter, then you'll know that i'm in jail, and what becomes of all the

little boys, who never say their prayers, well they're sleepin' like a baby,

on the nickel over there.



and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star, well you'll find out where

the scarecrows sit, just like punchlines between the cars, and i know a place

where a royal flush, can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson, is on

the nickel over there.



so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain, and you're always

late for supper, and man you let me down again, i thought i heard a

mockingbird, roosevelt knows where, you can skip the light, with grady tuck,

on the nickel over there.



so what becomes of all the little boys, who run away from home, well the

world just keeps gettin' bigger, once you get out on your own, so here's to

all the little boys, the sandman takes you where, you'll be sleepin' with a

pillowman, on the nickel over there.



so let's climb up through that button hole, and we'll fall right up the

stairs, and i'll show you where the short dogs grow, on the nickel over there.

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Ukiah

(Tom Johnston)



People rushin' everywhere

If they'd only slow down once

They might find something there

Green trees and timber land

People workin' with their hands

For sure a different way to live

Gonna keep my cabin at hand

Retreat and live off the land

All around Ukiah, wo

The mountain streams that rush on by

Show the fish a jumpin'

And reflect the open sky

The fresh clean smell of the pines Symbol of unchanging times

All around this sacred land

Strangely, though, I've found my way

Right here I'm gonna stay

In this land Ukiah, wo

MANOWAR lyrics - King Of Kings

Voices of Victory

All Shout and proclaim

The Kingdom of Glory is mine

The Raise of the will our prophecy filled



I'm the lord of the day and the night

Ive nothing to sell but the power of hell

My Armies of fire awaits

I'm here to be paid for the pact that was made

My payment can never be late



[Chorus:]

Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder

Man and beast will be torn asunder

Into the Fight I own the right

To be the King of kings



My Enemies rise and look to the skies

They Pray I will never appear

The Life has no meaning

Awake they are dreaming

They live in a castle of fear



I summon the demons that live in the wind

As my Chariot drives in the Storm

With the hot blood of Battle

I wait in my saddle

I live and I'll die by the sword



[Chorus:]

Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder

Man and beast will be torn asunder

Into the Fight I own the right

To be the King of kings



All the days of his live

He walked without fear

All who's lives he touched

Were made better for knowing him

As he returned goodness with good

So true is justice and retribution were un failling



As my sword is my soul

Then let all who stand before me know

I bring a storm and Magic wind

The Kingdom of the Kings..



I summon the demons that live in the wind

As my Chariot drives in the Storm

With the hot blood of Battle

I wait in my saddle

I live and I'll die by the sword



[Chorus x3]



King of kings!!!

King of kings!!!



King of...



Of Kings!

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Schooldays

The bell rings

And all things

Are calling

The days past

The play's cast

Remember

September

When we were

Together

Together

Together



Schooldays the happy days when we were going nowhere

Schooldays the happy time when we were feeling no care

Schooldays when three said that we'd better be friends forever

How long is ever isn't it strange

Schooldays together why do they change.

How long is ever isn't it strange



Did kites fly

And I spy

And you cry

To run fast

Or come last

You know how

We made vows

They're gone now

We made friends

We broke friends

No more friends



Schooldays the happy days when we were going nowhere

Schooldays the happy time when we were feeling no care

Schooldays when three said that we'd better be friends forever

How long is ever isn't it strange

Schooldays together why do they change.



Remember,

Remember when we

Together

Went to the sea

Was it real or did we dream. The days of children gone.

Seagull's scream and pink ice cream and the deep blue sky

And the waves seem high and golden sand and the town

brass band play on.



Wait for me

Wait for us always

Wait for me

Wait for us to come

Homework's dull. It's worth the pain to go out when I want

Mister Watson wants to see you in the master's room. It's

about the work you should have done and I think you

must go now.



Schooldays are gone.

CHER lyrics - My Love

And when I go away

I know my heart can stay

With my love

It's understood

Everywhere with my love

My love does it good

My love only my love

My love does it good



And when the cupboard's bare

I still find something there

With my love it's understood

Everywhere with my love

My love does it so good

Oh my love only my love

My love does it good

Only my love only my love

Only my love holds

The other key to me

Only my love only my love

Only my love does it good to me



Everywhere with my love

Don'tcha see my love

Does it so good

Only my love only my love

My love does it good



Don't ever ask me why

I never say good-bye to my love

It's understood

Everywhere with my love

My love does it good

Only my love only my love

My love does it good

Only my love only my love

Does it good to me

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Losing You

Was a fool with my money

And I lost every dime

And the sun stopped shining

And it rained all the time

It did set me back some

But I made it through

But I'll never get over losing you



Do you know how much you mean to me?

Should've told you 'cause it's true

I'd get over losing anything

But I'll never get over losing you



When you're young

And there's time

To forget the past

You don't think that you will

But you do

But I know that I don't have time enough

And I'll never get over losing you



I've been cold

I've been hungry

But not for awhile

I guess most of my dreams have come true

With it all here around me

No peace do I find

'Cause I'll never get over losing you

No, I'll never get over losing you

ROXY MUSIC lyrics - Sentimental Fool

(Ferry/Mackay)



Surely you cannot be leading me on'

Well if that's so, however can I love again'

How could I believe again'

How can I hold on'

Sentimental fool

Knowing that fate is cruel,

You ought to forget it.

Yes, I know it's true,

I've seen what love can do,

But I don't regret it.

Oh, you silly thing-

Don't you see what's happening'

You're better without it.

No, that's not the case-

If you were in my place,

You never would doubt it.

Sentimental fool

Who broke the golden rule,

You couldn't resist it.

Though it's all in vain,

I'd do it all again

Just to relive a minute.

A woman in love

Can make you feel good-

You know what you're living for.

She'll give you so much

And keep you in touch

With all that's worth living for.

Oh once she gets in

Through thick and through thin

She'll show you what living's for.

The rhythm of love

It must go on

Can't stop.

The beat of your heart

Is like a drum

Will it stop'

SIMPLY RED lyrics - So Not Over You

Don't know why I still slept on my side of the bed

The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head

Told myself I really had to move along now

Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid, yeah yeah



So I tore up your letters

Took your picture off my wall

I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call

Felt a little better, told myself I'd be fine

Got to live for the good times up ahead, yeah yeah



'Cos everywhere I go

There's a love song that reminds me of you

And even though I knew I had to be strong

I was still not over you

'Cos I still believe and I could see how there's nothing left of you and me

That time is over

'Cos I'm so not over you



All my friends try to tell me better find somebody new

Why waste time being lonely when there's nothing left to lose?

Anything to get you out of my mind

I'm a fool if I thought I could forget

And I could not forget



'Cos everywhere I go

There's a love song that reminds me of you

And even though I knew I had to be strong

I was still not over you

'Cos I still believe and I could see there was nothing left of you and me

That time is over

'Cos I'm so not over you



Now I found a way to keep you there beside me

To where my love won't be denied

I can only hope to keep you there and guide me

There's no more need to hide from all this pain inside



'Cos everywhere I go

There's a love song that reminds me of you

And even though I knew I had to be strong

I was still not over you

'Cos I still believe and I could see how there's nothing left of you and me

That time is over

'Cos I'm so not over you



So not over you

That time is over baby

'Cos I'm so not over you

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Does Anyone Know

(Music: Klaus Meine, Lyrics: Klaus Meine)



Is this world out of control

Say what is right what is wrong

Do I know this world at all

I think I do but then I don't

I'm confused by what I see

I try to understand

But it makes no sense at all

I'm confused by what I feel

I thought that our love

Was something that is real



Does anyone know

The truth we're looking for

Can't find it anymore

Does anyone know

How to make me feel

For something that is real



So many things that I recall

When we were young just flying high

Can we turn our fate at all

I wish we could say don't you cry

I'm confused by what I hear

Girl it seems to me

We're losing after all

I'm confused by what I feel

I thought that our love

Was something that is real



Does anyone know

The truth we're looking for

Can't find it anymore

Does anyone know

How to make me feel

For something that is real



Another day has just begun

Life goes on there's no return

How can I trust anyone

When honesty is such a dirty word



Does anyone know

The truth we're looking for

Can't find it anymore

Does anyone know

How to make me feel

For something that is real



Does anyone know

The truth we're looking for

Can't find it anymore

Does anyone know

How to make me feel

For something that is real



Yeah

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Layla

(Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon)



What'll you do when you get lonely

And nobody's waiting by your side?

You've been running and hiding much too long.

You know it's just your foolish pride.



[Chorus:]

Layla, you've got me on my knees.

Layla, I'm begging, darling please.

Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.



I tried to give you consolation

When your old man had let you down.

Like a fool, I fell in love with you,

Turned my whole world upside down.



[Chorus]



Let's make the best of the situation

Before I finally go insane.

Please don't say we'll never find a way

And tell me all my love's in vain.



[Chorus 2x]

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - How Long Has This Been Going On?

'Neath the stars, at bazaars

Often I've had to caress men

Five or ten, dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men

Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men



Darling, can't you see?

'Twas for charity?

Though these lips have made slips, it was never really serious

Who'd have thought, I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious?



I could cry salty tears

Where have I been all these years?

Little wow, tell me now

How long has this been goin' on?



There were chills up my spine

And some thrills I can't define

Listen sweet, I repeat

How long has this been goin' on?



Oh, I feel that I could melt

Into heaven I'm hurled

I know how Columbus felt

Finding another world



Kiss me once, then once more

What a dunce I was before

What a break, for heaven's sake

How long has this been goin' on?



[Spoken:]

Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four



What a break, for heaven's sake

How long has this been goin' on?

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Evening Train

(Van Morrison)



Love to hear that evening train go by

Love to hear that evening train go by

'Specially when my baby's in my mind



Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow

Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow

When I make my way on down the road



My my

Bye bye

Don't cry

Don't sigh

When you hear that evening train go by



Love to hear that evening train on time

Love to hear that evening train on time

'Specially when those worries are on my mind



My my

Don't cry

Why why

Don't sigh

When you hear that evening train go by



Love to see those fields I used to roam

Love to see those fields I used to roam

Then I know I'm on my way back home



My my

Goodbye

Don't cry

Don't sigh

When you hear that evening train go by



When you hear that evening train go by

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Pieces Of Dreams

Little boy lost

In search

Of little boy found

You go on wondering, wandering

Stumbling, tumbling

'Round. . . 'round. . .

When will you find

What's on the tip of your mind

Mmm...Why are you blind

To all you ever were

Never were

Really are

Nearly are

Little boy false

In search

Of little boy true

Will you be ever done

Traveling

Always unraveling

You, . . you. . .

Running away

Could leave you farther astray

And as for fishing in streams

For pieces of dreams

Those pieces will never fit

What is the sense of it

Little boy blue

Don't let your little sheep roam

It's time come blow your horn

Meet them on

Look and see

Can you be far from home...

THE CLASH lyrics - Lose This Skin

(Tymon Dogg)



Come with me. I won't hide

We're going on a ride

We meet each day, use time to see

While we're young and almost free



I've got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in

Got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in



Do not turn or hate to see

All the things you think we've got

Do not turn or hate to see

What happened to the wife of Lot



We're alone or so they say

We're not on our own in that way

When we're alone it's real tough going

We can take a part in someone else's play



Come with me, I thought he said

But that's not him anymore, he's dead

What's it like to be so free

So free it looks like lost to me

THE BEATLES lyrics - Hello Little Girl

Hello little girl

Hello little girl

Hello little girl



When I see you everyday

I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When you're passing on your way

I say, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When I see you passing by

I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"

When I try to catch your eye

I cry, "Mm mm hello little girl"



I send you flowers but you don't care

You never seem to see me standing there

I often wonder what you're thinking of

I hope it's me and love love love



So I hope there'll come a day

When you'll say, "Mm you're my little girl"



It's not the first time that it's happened to me,

It's been a long lonely time

And it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind mind mind



So I hope there'll come a day

When you say, "Mm mm

You're my little girl, mm mm mm

You're my little girl, mm mm mm"

You're my little girl, oh yeah

You're my little girl



Do do do do do

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Just Like A Woman

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand inside the rain

Ev'rybody knows

That Baby's got new clothes

But lately I see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman

And she makes love just like a woman

And she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl.



Queen Mary, she's my friend

Yes, I believe I'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess

That Baby can't be blessed

Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman

She makes love just like a woman

And she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl.



It was raining from the first

And I was dying there of thirst

So I came in here

And your long-time curse hurts

But what's worse

Is this pain in here

I can't stay in here

Ain't it clear that



That I just can't fit

Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit

But when we meet again

Introduced as friends

Please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world.

Ah, you fake just like a woman, yeah you do and

You make love just like a woman, yeah and

You ache just like a woman

But you break just like a little girl.

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - I'll Believe It When I See It

You gave your love so tenderly,

Said there could be no one hut for me,

And all the time you had it planned,

To spend your weekend with another man,

What kind of love do you call this,

I cannot live my life on promises,

You say your lesson has been learned,

It's over now as far as you're concerned



Well I'll believe it when I see it,

I'll believe it when I see it



If I can't have you when I want to,

I might just as well be dead,

I don't think I can live my life

Sharing you with someone else,

You told our children on the phone,

How much you hated leaving them alone,

Yet for the past few weeks or so

You never phoned them just to say hello;

You disappointed me so much,

Does it surprise you that I bear a grudge,

In Spite of promises you broke,

You still insist that there 5 a ray of hope



Well I'll believe it when I see it,

I'll believe it when I see it



If we can't survive and live our lives

The way we both intended to,

We might just as well stop right now,

What good would going on do



I'll believe it when I see it,

Oh, you know I try to understand,

I'll believe it when I see it,

'Cos that's the kind of man I am,

If I can't have you, when I want to,

Oh when I want to,

I just might as well be dead,

Oh, I might just as well be dead,

I don't think that I can live my life

Sharing you with someone else;

I'll believe it when I see I,

Baby, baby, what else can I do,

I'll believe it when I see it,

You don't know how much I'm in love with you



If we can't survive and live our lives

The way we both intended to,

We might just as well stop right now,

What good would going on do

VAN HALEN lyrics - Sinner's Swing!

Woo!

Alright, you sinners, swing!



Danger in the rearview mirror, there's trouble in the wind

Badness bringing up the rear, the menace is loose again

She looks so fucking good, so sexy and so frail

Something got the bite on me, I'm goin' straight to hell



(And now we're wasting time) Now we're wasting time

(Same ol' pickup lines) Same ol' pickup lines

And you keep tryin', (Wow!) don't waste time



Ow, come back to your senses baby, we can come to terms

I can almost t-taste it, it burns

You'd be sittin' pretty but you try to take the fifth

Wearin' out my welcome, guess I better save my breath. Wow!



(And now we're wastin' time) Now we're wastin' time

(Same ol' pickup lines) Same ol' pickup lines

(And you keep tryin') Buddy you keep tryin'

Don't waste time



Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push



(Guitar Solo)



Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push

Get-get-get-get-get out and push



Soon you'll see my silhouette a-darkening your door

I can almost t-taste it, I want more

No one's above suspicion, no one's got it wired

I may burn my fingers, want my iron in that fire



(And now we're wastin' time) Ow! Now we're wastin' time

(Same ol' pickup lines) Same ol' pick up lines

(And you keep tryin') Buddy you keep tryin'

Don't waste time



(Wow!) Get-get-get-get-get out and push (Hey, buddy better...get out and push)

Get-get-get-get-get out and push (Get get get get out and push)

Get-get-get-get-get out and push (Buddy, better. Get out and push)

Get-get-get-get-get out and push (Woo! Oh!)

Get-get-get-get-get out and push (Oh-whee)

Get-get-get-get-get out and push (All right you sinners, swing!)

MANOWAR lyrics - Hail To England

(Joey DeMaio)



Raise sails head for the open sea.

With sails full of wind - our hearts

Overflow with belief.



The guest for the grail to England

We sail, with our steel. We

Bring what was lost. If

Lives are the cost, let it be.



Strong she stands - reaching her

Hand. Brave and Grand. On English

Ground - we were born. Proudly

We return. - To English shore



Hail, hail to England -

Hail, hail, hail.



We march from the hills

Down to London town. -

Join Raise your hand - or hide

When we ride for the crown.



The sign of the hammer and

The black winds blow through

The night. Long was our wait

Our meeting with Fate is tonight.



Strong she stands - reaching her

Hand. Brave and Grand. On English

Ground - we were born. Proudly

We return. - To English shore



Hail, hail to England -

Hail, hail, hail.



Standing tall - one and all -

Light the hall. -



Years have passed - I've dreamed

of this day.

As we raise our hands - we

proudly say.



Hail, hail to England -

Hail, hail, hail.

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Tell Me

(Jagger/Richards)



I want you back again

I want your love again

I know you find it hard to reason with me

But this time it's different, darling you'll see

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You said we're through before

You walked out on me before

I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to know

This time you're different and determined to go

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

I wait as the days go by

I long for the nights to go by

I hear the knock on my door that never comes

I hear the telephone that hasn't rung

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - The Cowboy Rides Away

I knew the stakes were high right from the start.

When she dealt the cards, I bet my heart.

Now I just found a game that I can't play,

And this is where the cowboy rides away.



[Chorus:]

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,

Setting on the things I wish I'd done.

It's time to say goodbye to yesterday.

This is where the cowboy rides away.



We've been in and out of love and in-between.

And now we play the final showdown scene.

As the credits roll a sad song starts to play,

And this is where the cowboy rides away.



[Chorus:]

And my heart is sinking like a setting sun,

Setting on the things I wish I'd done.

Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say,

And this is where the cowboy rides away.



Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say.

This is where the cowboy rides away.

FATES WARNING lyrics - So

(Matheos)



Feeling so strong

I feel so inspired

Like a man with all the words

I could move the world

If I weren't so tired



So, so tired

So, so tired

So



Feeling so proud

I feel so admired

Like a man on a stage

I could play the part

If I weren't so tired



So, so tired

So, so tired

So



Tired of mind

And all I think

Tired of thirst

And all that I drink

Tired of will

And all that I need

Tired of body

And all that I bleed

Tired of breath

And all that I breathe

Tired of heart

And all that I grieve

Tired of sight

And all that I see

Tired of you

And tired of me



Feeling so full

Nothing desired

Like a man with everything

I should be happy

But I'm only tired



So, so tired

So, so tired

So

IGGY POP lyrics - Nightclubbing

Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing

We're what's happening

Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing

We're an ice machine

We see people brand new people

They're something to see

When we're nightclubbing

Bright-white clubbing

Oh isn't it wild?



Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing

We're walking through town

Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing

We walk like a ghost

We learn dances brand new dances

Like the nuclear bomb

When we're nightclubbing

Bright white clubbing

Oh isn't it wild...

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - My Boy

(Claude Francois - Jean Pierre Bourtayre - Bill Martin - Phil Coulter)



You're sleeping son, I know

But, really, this can't wait

I wanted to explain

Before it gets too late

For your mother and me

Love has finally died

This is no happy home

But God knows how I've tried



Because you're all I have, my boy

You are my life, my pride, my joy

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy



I know it's hard to understand

Why did we ever start?

We're more like strangers now

Each acting out a part

I have laughed, I have cried

I have lost every game

Taken all I can take

But I'll stay just the same



Because you're all I have, my boy

You are my life, my pride, my joy

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy

Sleep on, you haven't heard a word



Perhaps it's just as well

Why spoil your little dreams

Why put you through the hell

Life is no fairytale

As one day you will know

But now you're just a child

I'll stay her and watch you grow



Because you're all I have, my boy

You are my life, my pride, my joy

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy

THE SUPREMES lyrics - (Ain't That) Good News

(S. Cooke)



Oh my baby's comin home tomorrow

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news

My baby is coming home tomorrow

Ain't that news

Yeah, ain't that news



I got a letter just the other day

Telling me that he was on his way

And he wants me to meet him at the station

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news



In the letter he told me he still loved me

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news

In the letter he told me he loved me

Ain't that news

Yeah, ain't that news



He said he's sorry that he left

Found out he don't want nobody else

He said he wants me all to himself now

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news



Ain't that news

Ain't that good news

Ain't that news

Ain't that news



I said my baby's coming home tomorrow

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news



I'm gonna have him a party at the station

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news

Have a party at the station

Ain't that news

Yeah, ain't that news



And I can't wait to get him home

Where we can finally be alone

Disconnect my telephone now

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news



Ain't that news

Ain't that good news



I said my baby's coming home tomorrow

Ain't that good news

Yeah, ain't that news



Ain't that news

Ain't that good news

Build your love on a strong foundation

And you will have a love that's true

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Faster And Faster To Nowhere

[Spoken:]

Where am I going? What is the place?

Somebody help me outta here.



Oh I'm walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere

Oh I'm running slower, slower and slower to somewhere

'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me

It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare

No matter which way-mare



[Spoken:]

Seems that there must be some way to get out.

But I just can't find it.



People pushing, hustling, rushing on into the future

Windows open, closing, in a way that they just never used to

Oh there's violence lurking in the alleys

Where no one should dare go

So keep walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere



[Spoken:]

I gotta get out, somebody...that guy came at me with a gun

The city closing in



Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little



Children crying, screaming, but no one lets on that they hear them

It's getting louder, louder, surely that someone must hear them

'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me

It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare

No matter which way-mare



[Spoken:]

Help me, I wanna get out.

Cut it out! Stop closing in on me HELP!!!



Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere

We're gonna take a little

MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND lyrics - Do Anything You Wanna Do

I'm gonna break out of the city

Leave the people here behind

Searching for adventure

It's the kind of life to find

Tired of doing day jobs

With no thanks for what I do

I know I must be someone

Now I'm gonna find out who



Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?

Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do

Do anything you wanna do

Do anything you wanna do



I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be

Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see

No-one tells you nothing even when you know they know

They tell you what you should be

They don't like to see you grow



Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?

Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do

Do anything you wanna do

Do anything you wanna do

Do anything you wanna do



Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?

Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do

You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way

It's not you only, 'cause you got something to say

Do anything you wanna do

Do anything you wanna do

Do anything you wanna do

ROGER WATERS lyrics - 5.01 AM (The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking)

An angel on a Harley

Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone

Puts his bike up on it's stand

Leans back and then extends

A scarred and greasy hand...he said

How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?

Then he takes your hand

In some strange Californian handshake

And breaks the bone

Have a nice day



A housewife from Encino

Whose husband's on the golf course

With his book of rules

Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back

To take a second look at you

You flex your rod

Fish takes the hook

Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath

Another number in your little black book



These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

Oh babe, I must be dreaming

I'm standing on the leading edge

The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes

"Jump" says Yoko Ono

"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried

"Go on", she says

"Why don't you give it a try?

Why prolong the agony all men must die"

Do you remember Dick Tracy?

Do you remember Shane?

And mother wants you

Could you see him selling tickets

Where the buzzard circles over

Shane

The bitch said someting mystical "Herro"

So I stepped back on the kerb again



These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

Oh babe, I must be dreaming again



These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - No Easy Way Down

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky

But now it must fall to the ground

Now you're sad eyes reveal

Just how badly you feel

'Cause there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs

Must have been exciting

(Exiting, exciting, exciting)

And up to the peaks you were bound

Now you're stranded all alone

And the path leads unknown

And there is no easy way down

No it isn't very easy

(No easy way down)

When you're left on your own

(No easy way down)

No it isn't very easy

When each road you take

Is one more mistake

And there's no one to break your fall

And lead you back home

Oh, oooh. . .

We all like to climb to the heights, I know

Where our fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

There is no easy way down

You know, you're gonna find

There is no easy way down

No it isn't very easy (No easy way down)

When you're left on your own (No easy way down)

No it isn't very easy (No easy way down)

When you're left on your own (No easy way down)

No it isn't very easy (No easy way down)

When you' re left on your own...

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Black Diamond

Black diamond was a race horse, he held a high head

And the mane on his fore top is as fine as silk thread

I rode him in Texas, I rode him in Maine,

And I never did lose boys, I always did gain.



Come all of you good gamblers from far and near

She's likely to stumble, she's likely to fall,

And you"ll find old Black Diamond ahead of them all.



Come all of you gamblers from far and wide

And lay down your money when the Black Diamond rides,

Sit tight in your saddle, let slack on your rein,

You never will lose boys, you always will gain.



When the horses went racing, about half way 'round

The gray mare she stumbled, and fell to the ground.

And away out yonder ahead of the rest

Was my noble Black Diamond, the finest and best.



California's races has good ponies, too,

But I rode my Black Diamond and around them we flew.

Kentucky breeds horses that hold a good pace

But I rode my Black Diamond and won every race.



Florida's green pastures has champions to boast

But they follow behind when we come to the post

I stroked his black mane and I chuckled and laughed

The others were trailing by a neck and a half.



I win my good money and fill up my sack

'Cause it's always Black Diamond that's first down the track,

So bet him to win Boys, you never will fail,

'Cause it's always Black Diamond comes first down the rail.



This life is a gamble, it's a win, lose or draw

So I make love and gamble wherever I go

I'm friendly to strangers, and I love a good girl,

And I love my Black Diamond, the best in the world.

KMFDM lyrics - Vogue

Vogue

I know how you mean, like all others do

I will be here tonight, I'm on for you



Be here to this end, all bodies so restrained

We'll be walking and rolling, in a mob of saints



Just one more night, give me whoever's soul

Going to make you sweat, going to make you scream





Blood is thicker than water, keeping control

We are bound by desire, can we govern your soul



Keep on humming, high in the move

You won't forgive me, playing on more games



Nothing's thicker than water, keeping control

We are bound by desire, can we govern your soul

Can we govern your soul

Can we govern your soul

QUEEN lyrics - Tie Your Mother Down

(May)



Get your party gown

Get your pigtail down

Get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right

Got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight my little

Schoolbabe



Your momma says you don't

And your Daddy says you won't

And I'm boilin' up inside

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time



Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Lock your Daddy out of doors

I don't need him nosing around

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Give me all your love tonight



You're such a dirty louse

Go get outta my house

That's all I ever get from your

Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard

A single little civil word

from those guys

But you know I don't give a light

I'm gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart hand

To put a stop to all that

Grousin' an' snipin'



Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Take your little brother swimmin'

With a brick (that's all right)

Tie your Mother down,

Tie your Mother down

Or you ain't no friend of mine



Your momma and your Daddy gonna

Plague me til I die

Why can't they understand I'm just a

Peace lovin' guy

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down. . .etc etc. . .

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - My Love Will Follow You

(Buddy and Julie Miller)



Take your suitcase and take your heart

Take a train to the boulevard

My love will follow you



You can try to lose yourself downtown

You can burn all your bridges down

My love will follow you



My love will follow you

Down every highway of your soul

You can leave me far behind but

My love will be your shadow

Everywhere you go



So close the door turn in the key

Leave me here like a memory

My love will follow you

Even on the road that takes you down

Where the cords of human kindness come unwound

My love will follow you



If you should go so far

That you cannot get back

You may not remember

But my heart will not lose track



So go ahead baby and take that train

In my heart you'll still remain

My love will follow you

JOHN DENVER lyrics - In My Heart

I don't know why we still live together; we're so far a-part so much of the time.

I don't know why this beautiful weather is breaking my spirit

and tearing my mind all apart.

Are you so lonely? Are you so sad?

Have you lost your purpose, the faith that you had?

If life is a question, I don't understand, if time is the reason, then nobody can,

in my heart it is just an illusion, it's not even real,

it's much more than you think, it's much more than you feel.



My ears are still ringing, there's nothing to say. I look to the ocean to wash me away.

There goes my best friend, there goes my last dime.

If love is the answer, I'm wasting my time.

In my heart it is just an illusion, it's not even real,

it's much more than you think, it's much more than you feel.

Than you feel. Is this real, what I feel, in my heart? In my heart? In my heart?

RICHARD MARX lyrics - I Get No Sleep

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold

For something I'd do for free.

But there's still something missing that a man can't hold,

It's like a weight over me, so scared the thrill will be gone.

But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on,

All I've got is all I need,

But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone...

...i know I'm not alone.

Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes,

Just keeping up with this town.

I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs,

I've got to learn to slow down.

My life makes it hard to complain,

But there's time I'd take my school days back again...

...four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep.

Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep.

I keep the pressure far away as I can,

But it still comes back again...

JIMMY REED lyrics - Cry Before I Go

(Al Smith)



If you gotta cry, baby, little girl, cry before I go

You gotta cry, baby, little girl, cry before I go

There ain't nothin' you can say, a-make me stay another day



Your my lovin', whoa, I was so green

I gave ya all of my lovin', whoa, I was so green

Well, now I know the score, Jimmy Reed, got to split the scene



Watch you cryin', baby, give me a reason I shouldn't go

Watch you cry, baby, give me a reason I shouldn't go

If it makes any sense to me, baby, I'll come walkin' back in that door

THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - No Time For Losers

(M. Schenker/R. McAauley)



The past is over the future's here

Get drunk on memories of yesteryear

We're gonna stop!

Our whole existence computerized

Yet still we stand up and we criticize

We're gonna stop!



[Chorus:]

No time for losers

Stop hiding in the shadows, no time to lose

No time for losers

Look for the things that matter

No time to lose



The life we're living takes precedent

We don't ask for permission

We don't need your consent

We're gonna stop!



[Chorus]



Don't forget to smile

Children need a happy face

To make it all worthwhile

We'll change this kinda lifestyle

Bring out the best in me

Bring out the best in you

We never take time for little things

How quick we forget our romancing

We're not gonna stop

The past is over, the future's here

We're all drunk on memories of yesteryear



[Chorus]

BOB DYLAN lyrics - George Jackson

I woke up this mornin',

There were tears in my bed.

They killed a man I really loved

Shot him through the head.

Lord, Lord,

They cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord,

They laid him in the ground.



Sent him off to prison

For a seventy-dollar robbery.

Closed the door behind him

And they threw away the key.

Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord,

They laid him in the ground.



He wouldn't take shit from no one

He wouldn't bow down or kneel.

Authorities, they hated him

Because he was just too real.

Lord, Lord,

They cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord,

They laid him in the ground.



Prison guards, they cursed him

As they watched him from above

But they were frightened of his power

They were scared of his love.

Lord, Lord,

So they cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord,

They laid him in the ground.



Sometimes I think this whole world

Is one big prison yard.

Some of us are prisoners

The rest of us are guards.

Lord, Lord,

They cut George Jackson down.

Lord, Lord,

They laid him in the ground.

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Like A Hurricane

Once I thought I saw you

in a crowded hazy bar,

Dancing on the light

from star to star.

Far across the moonbeam

I know that's who you are,

I saw your brown eyes

turning once to fire.



You are like a hurricane

There's calm in your eye.

And I'm gettin' blown away

To somewhere safer

where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but

I'm getting blown away.



I am just a dreamer,

but you are just a dream,

You could have been

anyone to me.

Before that moment

you touched my lips

That perfect feeling

when time just slips

Away between us

on our foggy trip.



You are like a hurricane

There's calm in your eye.

And I'm gettin' blown away

To somewhere safer

where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but

I'm getting blown away.



You are just a dreamer,

and I am just a dream.

You could have been

anyone to me.

Before that moment

you touched my lips

That perfect feeling

when time just slips

Away between us

on our foggy trip.



You are like a hurricane

There's calm in your eye.

And I'm gettin' blown away

To somewhere safer

where the feeling stays.

I want to love you but

I'm getting blown away.

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - It's You

I look inside my crystal ball of desire

And know why rapid beats my heart

I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire

Letting me know love wants to start

No more playing around

No more waiting around for the special one to come

No more wearing a frown

No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want

And I want what I know



Is you

Nobody has to tell me so

It's you, it's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above

It's you, nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me

([Background]-Me for you and you for me)

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited my life would be undone

If only I had not waited I woul have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited for you [Harmonica Solo]



I look behind and what I sight is the mire

So very lonely was my heart

I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir

Singing that love will never part

No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down

No more I can't see the sun

No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come

When I know what I want

And I want what I know



Is you

Nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above

It's you, nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me

([Background]-Me for you and you for me)

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited my life would be undone

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited for you

'Cause Baby



It's you

Nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above

It's you, nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me

([Background]-Me for you and you for me)

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited my life would be undone

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited for you

'Cause Baby



It's you

Nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above

It's you, nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me

([Background]-Me for you and you for me)

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited my life would be undone

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited for you

'Cause Baby it's you

BEE GEES lyrics - Sweet Song Of Summer

La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da

I can feel you sweet song of summer

Your music comforts my lonely reign

I can hear you in evil darkness

That empty feeling, I'm near you again.



I am your forever and this I emphasize

Your never ending hurting and criticize



La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da

La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da



We are friends forever and this is emphasize

Your never ending hurting and criticize



La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da

La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da

La da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da (fade)

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Don't Fail

(Lyrics and music by James Seals, 1969)



Why do birds fly in the summer sky, hidden from the eyes of men. Where have I been?

Why do things hinge on certain things, and nothing is for sure.

Only pure uninterrupted acts prevail. Don't fail.



[Chorus:]

Sun, don't fail to greet the morning. Moon, don't fail to meet the night.

Girl, don't fail to get your learnin'. Boy, don't fail to see the light.

See the light. Don't fail, don't fail, don't fail.



Why do leaves blow in the summer wind, torn from their end. Where have I been?

Why do times learn from certain times, and nothing is for sure.

Only pure uninterrupted acts prevail. Don't fail.



[Chorus]

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - She Loves Me Not

I'm here alone on the telephone line

I'm right where you want me to be

And I'll wait alone and never ask why

I'll be where you want me to be



And I know...

I've been here before and I know your kind

You're right where I want you to be

Now I'll say what I think

I'll never be what you want me to be

(Just to be who I am)

What do you want me to be?



You'll be on your knees



Tell me

Tell me it's not true

SWEET lyrics - My Generation

(P. Townshend)



People try to put us down

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Just because we get around

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Things they do look awful cold

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Hope I die before I get old

(Talking 'bout my generation)



My generation, my generation, baby



Why don't you all fade away

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Don't try to dig what we all say

(Talking 'bout my generation)



I'm not trying to cause a big sensation

(Talking 'bout my generation)

I can talking about my generation

(Talking 'bout my generation)



My generation, my generation, baby



Why don't you all fade away

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Don't try to dig what we all say

(Talking 'bout my generation)



I'm not trying to cause a big sensation

(Talking 'bout my generation)

I can talking about my generation

(Talking 'bout my generation)



My generation, my generation, baby



People try to put us down

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Just because we get around

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Things they do look awful cold

(Talking 'bout my generation)

Hope I die before I get old

(Talking 'bout my generation)



My generation, my generation, baby

FOREIGNER lyrics - That Was Yesterday

I thought I knew you well

But all this time I could never tell

I let you get away

Haunts me every night and every day



You were the only one

The only friend that I counted on

How could I watch you walk away

I'd give anything to have you here today



But now I stand alone with my pride

And dream that you're still by my side



But that was yesterday

I had the world in my hands

But it's not the end of my world

Just a slight change of plans



That was yesterday

But today life goes on

No more hiding in yesterday

'Cause yesterday's gone



Love, my love I gave it all

Thought I saw the light

When I heard you call

Life that we both could share

Has deserted me

Left me in despair



But now I stand alone with my pride

Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry



But that was yesterday

Love was torn from my hands

But it's not the end of my world

Just a little hard to understand



That was yesterday

But today life goes on

You won't find me in yesterday's world

Now yesterday's gone



Goodbye yesterday

Now it's over and done

Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart

Yesterday will live on

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Wouldn't That Be Fine

(Nanci Griffith)



If you could stand behind my eyes for just one day

Could you see my heart beside you?

If you knew my love had never flown away

Would I be missing you... wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?



If I could wash away all these years with language

Could this naked love survive the light of day

If I could be the one who walked away

Would you be missing me... wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?



I saw the weather change high up on the cap rock

It is my sense of place... you were my holiday

If you could hold me now and brace these broken shoulders

Wouldn't that be trust... wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?



If I could turn your head with the round of my pen

Leaving all we've said... behind us

If I could roll these dice and finally loose my anger

Wouldn't that be love... wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Stormy Weather

(T. Koehler, H. Arlen)



[Recorded May 17, 1984, Los Angeles]



Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky

Stormy weather

Since my gal and I ain't together

Keeps rainin' all the time



Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere

Stormy weather

Just can't get my poor old self together

I'm weary all the time, the time

So weary all the time



When she went away, the blues walked in and they met me

If she stays away, that old rockin' chair's gonna get me

All I do is pray the Lord above will let me

Walk in the sun once more



Can't go on, everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my gal and I ain't together

Keeps rainin' all the time

Keeps rainin' all the time



[instrumental]



[all backups](When she went away, the blues walked in and met me)

[female backups only] (If he stays away, old rockin' chair will get me)

[all backups] (All I do is pray the Lord above will let me)

[all backups] (Walk in the sun once more)



Can't go on, everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my gal and I ain't together

Keeps rainin' all the time, the time

Keeps rainin' all the time

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Tangerine

[He:] Tangerine, she is all they claim

With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame

Tangerine, when she dances by, senoritas stare and caballeros sigh

And I've seen toasts to Tangerine

Raised in every bar across the Argentine

Yes, she has them all on the run, but her heart belongs to just one

Her heart belongs to Tangerine



[She:] Tangerine, she is all they say

With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache.

Tangerine, with her lips of flame

If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.

And I've seen clothes on Tangerine

Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".

Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl, but she's only fooling one girl

She's only fooling Tangerine!

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Just Kiss Me

No don't speak just kiss me

Just kiss me just kiss me

Please don't move just kiss me

Just kiss me and I'll know



You don't have to tell me of your desire

'Cause I'll never hear you while my heart's on fire

So don't explain kiss me

Just kiss me and I'll know



(To have and to hold you)

To have and to hold you

(It's so divine)

It's so divine

(Love fills me completely)

So completely

(When your lips meet mine)

Ah when your lips meet mine



So don't explain kiss me

Just kiss me and I'll know

(And I'll know)
