ENYA lyrics - Book Of Days (Gaelic)



O la go la, mo thuras,

An bealach fada romham.

O oiche go hoiche, mo thuras,

na scealta nach mbeidh a choich.



[Translation]



From day to day, my journey,

The long pilgrimage before me.

From night to night, my journey,

The stories that will never be again.


STEVE PERRY lyrics - Oh, Sherrie



You should've been gone

Knowing how I made you feel

And I should've been gone

After all your words of steel

Oh, I must've been a dreamer

And I must've been someone else

And we should've been over



Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on



Oh, I want to let go

You'll go on hurtin' me

You'd be better off alone

If I'm not who you thought I'd be



But you know that there's a fever

Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else

Can't you feel it burnin'

On-and-on



Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie



[Instrumental Interlude]



Oh, Sherrie



But I should've been gone

Long ago, far away

And you should've been gone

Now I know you'd lie

You'll stay



Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on



Oh, Sherrie, our love

Holds on, holds on



Hold on

Oh, Sherrie

THE KINKS lyrics - Mr. Big Man



I remember when you started out,

You were the best friend I ever knew.

I tried to meet you when you had your success,

But you had better things to do.

Now I bet that you're losin' count

Of the people that you used.

But now we're gonna see the vicious side of you,



Mister Big.

You've got the say and the power.

Your minions grovel and cower.

But I see you, and I see me.

But you're the big man now.

You got it, Mister Big.

Your followers kiss your hand,

And your slaves all at your feet.

Your minions serve your beck and call,

But they don't compensate at all,

'Cause inside, Mister Big's very small.



When you were poor and knockin' at the door,

You were really lots of fun.

But now you're hot and you're sittin' on the top;

You've got no time for anyone.

You schemed and connived.

You pushed and you lied,

Till you at last became a star.

But now we're gonna see the way you really are,



Mister Big.

Now your vict'ry is complete

And your battles are all won.

Your enemies and foes are all stacked up in rows,

Eliminated one by one.

You got it, Mister Big.


DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - This Endris Night



This endris night I saw a sight

A star as bright as day

And 'ere among a maiden sang

Lullay bye bye lullay

This lovely lady sat and sang

And to her child did say

"My son, my brother, father, dear

Why liest thou thus in hay"

The child then spoke in his talking

And to his mother said

"Yea, I am known as Heaven's King

Though I in crib be laid"

Methinks it right that king or knight

Should lie in good array

And then among, it were no wrong

To sing bye bye lullay

Mary, mother, I am that child

Tho' I be laid in stall

For lords and dukes shall worship me

And so shall kinges all

Now tell, sweet son, I thee do pray

Thou art my love and dear

How should I keep thee to thy pay

And make thee glad of cheer

My dear mother, thou hold me warm

And keep me night and day

And if I weep and may not sleep

Thou sing bye bye lullay

Thou sing bye bye lullay

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Empty Is



[Speaks:]

Empty is the sky before the sun wakes up.

Empty is the eyes of animals in cages.

Empty, faces of women mourning

When everything's been taken from them.

Me, don't ask me about empty.



[Sings:]

Empty is a string of dirty days

Held together by some rain.

And the cold winds drumming at the trees again.

Empty is the color of the fear

Long about September when the days

Go marching in a line toward November.

Empty is the hour before sleep chills you every night

And pushes you to take me away from every kind of light.

Empty is me.

Empty is me.


ROY ORBISON lyrics - Belinda



(Dennis Linde)



Oh sweet, sweet Belinda

They say that you are looking for a home

Fresh out of a love affair

Fresh out of hope

Fresh out of dreams



I know you're as strong as any human can be

But you need love, why don't you take it from me?

I know I ain't much, but you can have me for free

Belinda



Oh sweet, sweet Belinda

You don't owe me no gratitude or love

We're just two souls stuck here

Two lonely rivers filled with light



Two lights shining on the darkness ahead

Two feet touching in a cold winters bed

I promised you safety, but I loved you instead

Belinda



Oh-oh Belinda I'd die of loneliness

If you ever left, Belinda



Oh-oh Belinda I'd die of loneliness

If you ever left, Belinda


SAXON lyrics - We Are Strong



Life keeps kicking you down

But you come back for more

You take all the knocks

Pick yourself up off the floor

Everyone's looking for someone

To hold in the night

Believe in yourself, stand tall

And take up the fight



We are strong

We will survive

We are strong

We will survive



Somebody gets all the breaks

But it's never you

Maybe today is the day

You'll pull through

Everyone's chasing their dream

At the end of the rainbow

You gotta follow your heart

That's where you have to go



We are strong

We will survive

We are strong

We will survive



Battered and torn

Ride out the storm

Break through the clouds of night

And head on home



Life keeps kicking you down

But you come back for more

You take all the knocks

Pick yourself up off the floor

Everyone's looking for someone

To hold in the night

Believe in yourself, stand tall

And take up the fight



We are strong

We will survive

We are strong

We will survive

CARPENTERS lyrics - There's A Kind Of Hush



There's a kind of hush

all over the world tonight

All over the world

you can hear the sounds of lovers in love

You know what I mean



Just the two of us

and nobody else in sight

There's nobody else and I'm feeling good

Just holding you tight



So listen very carefully

Closer now and you will see what I mean

It isn't a dream



The only sound that you will hear

Is when I whisper in your ear I love you

For ever and ever


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Lady In Black



(Hensley)



She came to me one morning

One lonely Sunday morning

Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me

For in darkness I was walking

And destruction lay around me

From a fight I could not win



Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh



She asked me name my foe then

I said the need within some men

To fight and kill their brothers

Without thought of love or God

And I begged her give me horses

To trample down my enemies

So eager was my passion

To devour this waste of life



Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh



But she wouldn't think of battle that

Reduces men to animals

So easy to begin

And yet impossible to end

For she's the mother of all men

Who counselled me so wisely then

I feared to walk alone again

And asked if she would stay



Oh lady lend your hand outright

And let me rest here at your side

Have faith and trust in peace she said

And filled my heart with life



There's no strength in numbers

Have no such misconception

But when you need me

Be assured I won't be far away



Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh



Thus having spoke she turned away

And though I found no words to say

I stood and watched until I saw

Her black cloak disappear

My labour is no easier

But now I know I'm not alone

I'll find new heart

Each time I think upon that windy day



And if one day she comes to you

Drink deeply from her words so wise

Take courage from her as your prize

And say hello from me



Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh


ROY ORBISON lyrics - Let's Make A Memory



(Orbison/Melson)



Come a little closer

Don't you tell me "no sir"

Let's make a memory



Come on now

Come on and give me your kiss now

What are you gonna miss now

Let's make a memory, a memory

Let's make a memory

Make a memory



Yes let's make a memory together

One that will last and last forever



Sweet baby

Baby hold me tight then

Squeeze with all your might then

Let's make a memory



Come on now

Just have a little fun for

What do you think we're young for?

Let's make a memory

Make a memory



Yes let's make a memory together

One that will last and last forever



Come on now

Let yourself let go now

Don't let love grow cold now

Let's make a memory



Sweet baby

Forget about the past now

We've got a love that'll last for

Now and forever we will be

Making memories....

Making memories

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Turbo Lover



(Tipton/Halford/Downing)



You won't hear me, But you'll feel me

Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.

Then within your senses,

You'll know you're defenseless

How your heart beats, when you run for cover

Your cant retreat I spy like no other.



Then we race together. We can ride forever

Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury

Changing gear I pull you tighter to me



I'm your turbo lover

Tell me there's no other

I'm your turbo lover

Better run for cover



We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive

And eveyrthing goes rushing by, with every nerve alive

We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky

Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry.



I'm your turbo lover

Tell me there's no other

I'm your turbo lover

Better run for cover



On and on we're charging to the place so many seek

In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak

We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load

And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode.



I'm your turbo lover

Tell me there's no other

I'm your turbo lover

Better run for cover



I'm your turbo lover

Tell me there's no other

I'm your turbo lover

Better run for cover



[Fade]


RAY CHARLES lyrics - Smack Dab In The Middle



Pick me a town

In any clime

Where people like

A rockin time

And stay awake

Both day and night

Till everybody's feelin good an' right

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

Ahhhhh, smack dab in the middle, boys now

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Ten Cadillacs

A diamond mill

Ten suits of clothes

To dress to kill

A ten room house

Some Bar B Q

And fifty chicks not over twenty-two

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

Oh, I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

Ahhhhh, now boys you can see why I wanna be smack dab in the middle now

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

One hundred beds

With chorus girls

A street that's paved

With natural pearls

A wagon load

Of bonds and stocks

Then open up the door at Fort Knox

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

Ahhhhh, now listen boys throw me smack dab in the middle right now

So Ray can rock and roll to satisfy his soul

That's all right!

(bridge)

A lot of bread and gangs of meat

Oodles of butter and somethin sweet

Gallons of coffee to wash it down

Bicarbonated soda by the pound

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I picture it

(Smack dab in the middle)

Ahhhhh, throw me now, smack dab in the middle right now

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Alright!

R. E.M. lyrics - Chorus And The Ring



Hey there now young Willy

Swing alone, quote the scriptures

Keep them guessing which bed you crawled from

Justify, just deny

Was it fun?

Your time has come

What have you done?

What have you done?



That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chiming

Every chorus the machine of god

Is singin'.



It's the poison that it measures

Brings illuminating vision

It's the knowing with a wink

That we expect in Southern women

It's the wolf that knows which sheep to dip to save itself

It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.



That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chiming

Every chorus the machine of god

Hey.....



Hammered shooting plywood in the backyard

Laughin' 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing

Like the holy terror

Suck the marrow from the bone

Singe, you're always burning books

You got the chorus and the ring



That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chiming

Every chorus the machine sings.



That's when the insults start to sting

You can't remember anything

The chorus chiming

Every chorus the machine sings.



That's when the calibration brittle

As a stick hits you, the gold ring and the time museum

Cheaper than a link of gold rings

Gold ring.



Sing, sing, sing, sing.


THE CLASH lyrics - Cheapskates



(Strummer/Jones)



I have been a washer up

An' he has been a scrubber up

An' I seen him a picking up

Dog ends in the rain

An' he has never read a book

Though I told him to take a look

He lifted his poolhall cue

For another game

But it ain't no modern miracle

That we found the golden rule

What you can't buy you gotta steal

An' what you say can't steal you better leave



I don't like to hang about

In this lonely room

'Cos london is for going out

And trying to hear a tune

But people come pouncing up to me

And say what are you doing here

You're supposed to be a star

Not a cheapskate bleeding queer



Like a load of rats from a sinking ship

You slag us down to save your hip

But you don't give me the benfit

Of your doubt

'Cos I'll bite it off and spit it out



We're cheapskates anything'll do

We're cheapskates what are we supposed to do?

An' we can rock

Hey hey let's roll

An' we can walk

An' do the stroll



Just because we're in a group

You think we're stinking rich

'N we all got model girls

Shedding every stitch

'N You think the cocaine's flowing

Like a river up our noses

'N every sea will part for us

Like the red one did for Moses



Well I hope you make it one day

Just like you always said you would some day

And I'll get out my money and make a bet

That I'll be seein' you down the launderette


INXS lyrics - Simple Simon



Simon found love, in love he thinks he found himself

Only has a heart for her and her alone

He walks down crowded streets and doesn't feel alone

Oh, never alone

Walks in space with his feet firmly on the ground



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about

Simon, oh oh oh

Simon, oh oh oh



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about

Simon, oh oh oh

Simon, oh oh oh



Well she's just a simple girl, yeah

Spends her time on crossword games and cigarettes, ah

She lives all alone in a military zone where sam's can't get in

Facts and evidence, she probably give you no clues away

No clues away



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about

Simon, oh oh oh

Simon, oh oh oh



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about

Simon, oh oh oh

Only has a heart for her and her alone

He walks down crowded streets and doesn't feel alone, oh never alone

Walks in space with his feet firmly on the ground



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about



Simon, oh oh oh

Simon, oh oh oh



Camp on love sign people I talk about

Johnny knows love song people I talk about

Simon, oh oh oh

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Can't Stop This Thing We Started



You might stop a hurricane

Might even stop the drivin' rain

You might have a dozen other guys

But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try

I'm goin' one way - your way

It's such a strong way - let's make it our way



Can't stop this thing we started

You gotta know it's right

Can't stop this course we've plotted

This thing called love we got it

No place for the brokenhearted

Can't stop this thing we started - no way

I'm goin' your way!

You might stop the world spinnin' round

Might even walk on holy ground

I ain't Superman and I can't fly

But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try

I'm goin' one way - your way

It's such a strong way - let's make it our way



Can't stop this thing we started

You gotta know it's right

Can't stop this course we've plotted

This thing called love we got it

No place for the brokenhearted

Can't stop this thing we started - no way

I'm goin' your way!



Oh - why take it slow

I gotta know

Nothing can stop this thing that we got


DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Don't Let Me Down & Down



Still I keep my love for you

No place to hide no way to fall

Nowhere to lie no world so wide

I'm sick and tired of telling you

Don't let me down and down and down

Don't let me down and down and down



I know there's something in the wind

That crazy balance of my mind

What kind of fool are you and I?

Scared to death and tell me why

I'm sick and tired of telling you

Don't let me down and down and down

Don't let me down and down and down



Still I keep my love for you



You made a date with destiny

You jog-jog in my memory

You haunt in mind not fade away

I'm sick and tired of telling you

Don't let me down and down and down

Don't let me down and down and down

I'm sick and tired of telling you



Still I keep my love for you

No place to hide, no way to fall

Nowhere to lie no world so wide

I'm sick and tired of telling you

Don't let me down and down and down

Don't let me down and down and down


MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Georgia On My Mind



Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind



Talking 'bout Georgia

I'm in Georgia

A song of you

Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight

Through the pines



Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you



Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind



Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back

It always leads back to you



I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia

No peace, no peace I find

Just this old sweet song

Keeps Georgia forever on my mind

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia forever on my mind


ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION lyrics - Another Day, Another Dollar



(Dan Tyminski)



Another day, another dollar

That's what I'm working for today

Another day, another dollar

Sure can't buy my blues away



I'm just trying to make a living

Working jobs that I enjoy

But it ain't easy finding something

For this lonesome-hearted boy



Another day, another dollar

That's what I'm working for today

Another day, another dollar

Sure can't buy my blues away



You know my life is like a highway

Just too many roads to take

You know I'll try to take the right one

Just gets harder every day



Another day, another dollar

That's what I'm working for today

Another day, another dollar

Sure can't buy my blues away



Another day, another dollar

That's what I'm working for today, hey

Another day, another dollar

Sure can't buy my blues away



Another day, another dollar

Sure can't buy my blues away

AC/DC lyrics - House Of Jazz



(Young - Young)



Humdinger

Bell ringer

Got a nasty stinger

To slow you down

Mud slinger

Gold digger

Who point the finger

And do you down

Kickin' and a fightin' on a TV show

Lightin' blindin' in the middle of the road

Are you comin' in

Are you comin' in



I said come into the house of

Come into the house of

Come into the house of jazz

Come into the house of

Come into the house of

Come into the house of jazz



Ball stripper

Big tipper

Got a slap 'n' tickler

To make you growl

Spitin' and bitin' on a TV show

Tightenin' frightenin' givin' out a load

Are you comin' in

Are you comin' in



I said come into the house of

Come into the house of

Come into the house of jazz

Come into the house of

Come into the house of

Come into the house of jazz



Are you comin' in

Come into the house of

Come into the house of

Come into the house of jazz

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Thank You



Let me say thank-you to those who love many

Let me say thank-you to those who still play fair

Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit

Let me say thank-you to all you people out there, out there

Let me say grace for those who don't feel they matter

May God look down on all the soldiers of this Earth

Trying to find peace in this world that house so many

Let me say grace for those who feel lost from birth, lost from birth

Let's give a smile for those who feel that they have nothing

Let me shake the hand of Johnny Doe out on the street

Let's give a wink for those girls who don't feel pretty

Let's find some water for those who need a drink, need a drink

And when I see so many broken and lonely

Soon to be entering Heaven's door

Let me count the ways

Let me count the blessings

That no man should feel lonely anymore

Let me say good luck to the people raising families

Let me say thank-you to the men who grow the bread

And here's to dreams of a bigger, brighter future

And that we all got someone to keep the stones from our bed

Let me say thank-you to those who love many

Let me say thank-you for those who still play fair

Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit

Let me say thank-you to all you folks out there

All you people out there


AMERICA lyrics - Moon Song



The moon begins to rise upon my fallen eyes

I'm taken back to firelight

A drunken dreamer's plan to stay just as I am

Amidst the dancing paradise

A case of beer, a smile, a motorcycle child

I feel the glow surround me

And you, and you, and you, and you, and you



Orange funnels and snowy tunnels

Summer troubles and books in bundles

Orange funnels and snowy tunnels

And you, and you, and you, and you, and you


DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - I Want To Know You For A Long Time



Laughing's short but loving lasts

I can't mix the future with the past

Can I stay close to you

I wanna stay close to you

You've got yours and I've got mine

And what we have in so hard to define

Just take a look at your life line

You've got a lot to shine

Let's say baby,

I wanna know you for a long long time

Ooh baby

I wanna know you for a long long time



Oh darling, lady friend

We'll see each other when it's time to show

Just for a minute or for a year

But then again, don't you and I know



A time between our time together

It doesn't exist, it grows old forever

Just take a look at your life line

Oh baby, you've got a lot to shine

I know it baby,

I wanna know you for a long long time

Oh and baby,



I wanna know you for a long long time

I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby

Oh you've got a lot to live girl

So I wanna know you for a long long time

I wanna know, I wanna know,

I wanna know baby

So much to live for girl,

So much to live for girl

So I wanna know you baby

Wanna know you for a long long time.

I wanna know, wanna know...

ROD STEWART lyrics - Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)



(Rod Stewart)



Stay away from my window

Stay away from my back door too

Disconnect the telephone line

Relax baby and draw that blind



Kick off your shoes and sit right down

Loosen off that pretty French gown

Let me pour you a good long drink

Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause



Tonights the night

It's gonna be alright

Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now



C'mon angel my hearts on fire

Don't deny your man's desire

You'd be a fool to stop this tide

Spread your wings and let me come inside



Tonights the night

It's gonna be alright

Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now



Don't say a word my virgin child

Just let your inhibitions run wild

The secret is about to unfold

Upstairs before the night's too old



Tonights the night

It's gonna be alright

Cause I love you woman

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Sittin' And Thinkin'



I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin

And I had a fight with my best girlfriend

When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same thing has happened before

And each time it happens, I hate it more & more

When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again



I spent a whole lotta time sittin' & thinkin'

Sittin' & just thinkin' 'bout you

If I didn't spend so much time sittin' & drinkin'

We'd still have the love I thought we knew



I won't promise the same thing won't happen again

But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then

'Cause when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again


BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Lullaby In Blue



I know that I'm no saint.

My head is in the clouds.

They called you a mistake,

but I still, I still say your name out loud.



They called me a stupid girl,

just like my mom.

Too many men passed through my arms.

At seventeen I looked into your eyes,

knew I could never comfort your cries.

Every April still reminds me of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.



It all goes by so fast.

How lovely you must be.

Why you've reached the age at last

that I was when your daddy lived with me.



How I wish we could meet somewhere,

talk it through.

There is so much I would say to you.

There are others, I'm not alone.

A younger brother you've never known,

and a baby girl who so reminds me of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.



As the years go by,

try not to think of us sadly.

Believe it if you can,

I wanna see you so badly.

On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.

My lullaby in blue.

My lullaby. . .


MADNESS lyrics - Drip Fed Fred



(Thompson/Barson)



Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night

I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding some light

I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools

But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules



I've rounded up the lowlife and local CID

Offered a free massage or else the third degree

There is no simple solution in this life we lead

So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede



We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class

We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass



Peace shall not prevail in Purley came the stark warning today

From his hospital bed Drip fed Fred vowed he was here to stay

I'll tell you something for nothing never in all my days

Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display

And now approaching the pulpit the Rt Hon Rev Green Hank C Burnette BBC News



We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class

We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass



We are gathered here this evening to pay our due respects

To Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed

We know the nonce behind it who slipped the night PD

The word is out now without doubt you will answer to me



Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night

I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding new light

There is a simple solution one called honour amongst thieves

So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees



I'll tell you something for nothing

I'll tell you oh yeha yeha No No oh heya

No I'll tell ya. Hear me out hear me out hear me out!!!


PHISH lyrics - Golgi Apparatus



I look into the finance box

Just to check my status

I look into the microscope

See Golgi Apparatus



Golgi, oh, woe is me

You can't even see the sea

Golgi, olgi, oh ooo olgi

Golgi

Golgi



They call him Lysasome

Cause he runs so fast

Runs like a junkyard dog

With a brain of brass



I saw you

With a ticket stub in your hand

Under the light

Middle of the night

Couldn't get it wrong

So I had to


MANASSAS lyrics - Johnny's Garden



There's a place

I can get to

Where I'm safe

From the city blues

And its green

And its quiet

Only trouble was

I had to buy it

And I'll do anything

I got to do

Cut my hair and

Shine my shoes



[Chorus:]

And keep on

Singin' the blues



If I can stay here

In Johnny's garden

As the swift bird

Flies over the grasses

Dipping now and then

To take his breakfast

Thus I come and go

And I travel

And I can watch that bird

And unravel



[Chorus]



With his love

And his carin'

He puts his life

Into beauty sharin'

And his children

Are his flowers

There to give us peace

In quiet hours



[Chorus]

CHER lyrics - He Was Beautiful



A crowd made the magic happen

The band made the music play

I can close my eyes and see him there

Just like it was yesterday

It was just another party

Till he walked in all alone



And I read the message in his eyes

It said: "Honey, I'll take ya home"

So I took him back to my place

And I knew that he would stay

And he held me and he loved me

Till we loved the night away



[Chorus:]

He was beautiful

In the daylight of the morning sun

His golden hair had come undone

So beautiful

He touched me with his fingertips

He bended close, I kissed his lips

So beautiful



It was easy for me to say goodbye

Watch him walk right out the door

Tellin' myself I'd forget his face

Like all the other times before

And I was halfway through the afternoon

When I knew that I was wrong



He was spinning around inside my head

Like some old familiar song

So maybe some night while the music plays

Though I don't know where or when

I'll be walking into some crowded room

And I'll see his face again

THE POLICE lyrics - Can't Stand Losing You



(Sting)



I've called you so many times today

And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say

That you don't ever want to see me again

And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten

I guess you'd call it cowardice

But I'm not prepared to go on like this



I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't

I can't stand losing you

I can't stand losing you

I can't stand losing you

I can't stand losing you



I see you've sent my letters back

And my LP records and they're all scratched

I can't see the point in another day

When nobody listens to a word I say

You can call it lack of confidence

But to carry on living doesn't make no sense



I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't

I can't stand losing



I guess this is our last goodbye

And you don't care so I won't cry

But you'll be sorry when I'm dead

And all this guilt will be on your head

I guess you'd call it suicide

But I'm too full to swallow my pride



I can't stand losing you


LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Walk Through The Bottomland



(Lyle Lovett)



A New Jersey lady I knew long ago

And she was a lady I say

But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo

And he stole her heart straight away



The New Jersey lady she loved him so true

Another love she never had

But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue

And they make the ladies so sad



Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes



The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too

And you know she tried to hold on

But the rodeo life was the life that he knew

He had to keep drifting along



She never married and she never would

And all of the people they'd say

The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good

To follow a cowboy that way



Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes



The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night

And then in the morning he'd go

She loved the darkness and hated the light

Along with that damn rodeo



The New Jersey lady the day that he died

She covered him over with clay

And feeling the wind in the night as she cried

She heard the old cowboy say



Sing me a melody

Sing me a blues

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes

The Brazos she's running scared

She heard the news

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes


RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Eden



Monday morning in the garden of Eden

Looked over and I saw your face

Never felt what you made me feel

Never felt so out so place

The sinner sleeps with the angel

I heard you breathe my name

Stumbling through the gates of freedom



[Chorus:]

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

I can be saved

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day

Yeah baby

I can be healed

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day



I was being nobody going nowhere

Thru the kingdom of the blind and lame

Wouldn't give myself away, cos I

Never thought I'd touch your flame

You opened up my book of love

(I know it's true)

What was I so scared of

(I'm running)

For the gates of freedom



[Chorus:]

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

I can be saved

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day

Yeah baby

I can be healed

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day



I've wanted so much in my life

Desired everyone I knew

I would not take it kicking and screaming

The only one I want is you



Never thought I'd hear me say

(I know its true)

Maybe love will save the day

I'm a prisoner at the gates of freedom



[Chorus:]

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

I can be saved

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day

Yeah baby

I can be healed

In Eden (I'm at the gate)

It's the start of a new day



The only one I want is you


GENTLE GIANT lyrics - On Reflection



In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you

On reflection now it doesn't matter:

How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else

Who can say it right now it's finished over:

It's my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling

Different ways of life can never even:

Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the

same way As I came and went I tried to remember you:

Still you stay

Tied in your way

Changing times

Watching the signs



How:

Could you see in me what you thought about all you want me to be

Now:

On reflection why should have I changed my ways for you

All around all around



Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all

it seems it's just an experience:

Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able,



Understanding still not anything different:

Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long

gone, on reflection now it's just an experience.

Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended, as I

come and go I'll try to remember you.

Still you stay

Tied in your way

Changing times

Watching the signs

How:

All around all around...



I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years

that we shared in our way:

Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and

our time drifting away:



Look back it's not your game, together just in name.



I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years

that we shared in our way:

Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and

our time drifting away:



All around all around...


T. REX lyrics - Dwarfish Trumpet Blues



I saw a little man who had a toy trumpet

He sat on a stone with his lips to the mouthpiece

He was deaf dumb and blind so he couldn't quite make it

When out of the horn came a solid silver genie

Who was made just to make the little man happy

As the man made sounds the genie painted fluid,

Mind-blowing visions on the little man's brain-box



Everybody small with no lips to play the trumpet

Everybody living inside a giant deaf aid

Everybody's eyes crucified to the tapestry

Woven by the giant with the solid silver genie

Who plays the trumpet


CAROLE KING lyrics - Dancin' With Tears In My Eyes



Never been the kind to stay at home

Even when I'm feeling down

So every night I go out on the town

Circulating around

Well, I thought I could forget about you

But every night I find

It's not as easy as I thought it would be

To dance you out of my mind



You've got me dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

You've got me dancin' with a hurt in my soul

I can't control my emotions

Ever since we said our goodbyes

Don't you know you can find me any old time



Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes



Now anything can happen in this day and age

Just take a look at me

My body keeps moving to the happy beat

While my spirit's in misery

You can't see it with the strobe lights flashing

No, I don't look out of place

But there's a whole different picture you'll see of me

When you get a look at my face



You'll see me dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

You'll see me dancin' with a hurt in my soul

I can't control my emotions

Ever since we said our goodbyes

Don't you know you can find me, you know you can find me

Don't you know you can find me any old time



Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes


THE MONKEES lyrics - Band 6



(David Jones, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork & Micky Dolenz)



"That was, uh, a little too long..."

"I think you got it now, Micky..."

AMERICA lyrics - All Night



When the day breaks

Something begins

When your heart aches

Do you give in?

I heard that you were lonely

One careful look shows you're lonely



All night you'll fight

With your mind, with your mind



After lights out, don't make a sound

Apple blossoms, come fallin' down

Black and white sun shining brightly

Shelter your eyes, hold on tightly



All night you'll fight

With your mind, with your mind



Love thy neighbor

You will understand

Coffee flavor, yours or any brand

I heard that you were lonely

Nothing is real when you're lonely



All night you'll fight

With your mind, with your mind


CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - For Rosanna



This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine,

A song for the baby who changed my life,

I'll never forget when I saw you first,

I thought that my heart would burst,

With the love that I have;



As I watch you sleeping in here tonight,

And I hear your breathing so soft and light,

I cannot believe all the things that I feel,

When I hold you next to me,

It's the love that I have;



Oh how my heart it is shining,

Oh how my heart it is shining,

Oh how this heart is shining through,

With the love that I have;



And as you are growing from baby to child,

I share the wonders that are in your eyes,

And I am amazed at the way you change,

All according to the plan,

And the love that I have;



And when you are older you will go away,

You'll see injustice and you'll see pain,

But never forget that I'm always there,

Like a shadow by your side,

With the love that I have;



Oh my love, you have your mother's eyes,

And when I see you laugh, you have your mother's smile,

And you are mine all of my life,

You are mine, all of my love,

You are mine, blood of my blood,

You are mine;



Oh how my heart it is shining,

Oh how my heart it is shining,

Oh how my heart it is shining through,

With the love that I have.

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - The Niceness Of It All (Another Version)



Oh, it's the niceness of it all,

Baby, it's the niceness of it all,

Whether you are close to me or far,

It doesn't matter in the least,

As long as I can be with you,

Any time I need to, like a baby,

That's just starting to grow,

It's the niceness of it all that,

Makes me love you more and more



And it's the niceness of it all,

Baby, it's the niceness of it all,

That makes me write to you and say

How much I've missed you over the weeks,

That makes me call you on the phone

Whenever there's a chance to speak

And even if there's only time to say hello,

It's the niceness of it all

That makes me love you more and more



I don't know what's come over me

I've hardly touched a drink,

My mother thinks it's marvelous,

He's off the road to sin,

She thinks you're just the tonic,

That I need,

And who am I to argue,

After all, isn't that what I believe

It's the niceness of It all,

Baby, it's the niceness of it all,

If I can't be with you for a week,



Then a day will have to do,

I won't say that that's enough,

But then beggars can't be choosers,

And besides if nothing e15e at least I know,

It's the niceness of it all,

That makes me love you more and more

Every time I see a shadow,

I think what a blessing it must be,

Not to have to talk with fingers,

Not to have look with nothing to see

You try living your life to the full,

Confined to a chair,

Try and hide your loneliness when no one is there

Yes it's the niceness of it all,

That makes me love you more and more,

It's the niceness of it all babe,

That's what I like, and what I need,

The niceness of it all, it's the niceness of it all,



Whether close to me or far,

It's no matter where you are,

For as far as I can see,

You're the only one for me

It's the niceness of it all,

It's what I like, what I need,

It's the niceness, just the niceness of it all.



Whether close to me or far,

It's no matter where you are,

For as far as I can see,

You're the only one for me

It's the niceness of it all,

It's what I like, what I need,

It's the niceness, just the niceness of it all.


COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Ring On The Sill



She placed her ring on the sill,

Dishes piled high

She's on the front porch step

And the air smells like snow

She's thinking of the siege to come

And how she'll miss those weekends

In the park with the sun on her face

And her book by her side and that

Lingering taste that he left on her tongue



He lifts his glass from the table

It leaves a ring where it stood

He sees the light from the window

Caress her like he knows he should

He's remembering the first time he kissed her

And how he'd wake

And immediately he'd miss her,

Like a spell, with each breath,

He'd taste her breath like a haunting,

Irritating as hell



Do you remember when you'd pray

To never see the day

When someone would make you feel this way

'Cause you knew

They would cut right through you

And once inside, you were afraid they'd find

Nothing to hold on to



He puts her ring on her finger,

She brushes back his hair

He takes a sip from his glass,

She inhales the cold fall air

And they're thinking of the long road ahead

And the strength that they will need

Just to reach the end

And there in the silence they search for

The balance between this fear that they feel

And a love that has graced their lives


LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - If Only For One Night



Let me hold you tight

If only for one night

Let me keep you near

To ease away your fear

It would be so nice

If only for one night



I won't tell a soul

No one has to know

If you want to be totally discreet

I'll be at your side

If only for one night



Your eyes say things i never hear from you

And my knees are shakin too

But i'm willin to go thru

I must be crazy

Standin in this place

But i'm feeling no disgrace



For asking......



Let me hold you tight

If only for one night

Let me keep you near

To ease away your fear

It would be so nice

If only for one night



I tell you what i need is

One night, one night oh (and oh, oh)

What i need is

One night, one night

Of your love, of you love, of your lovin ooh

I'm asking...



Let me take you home

To keep you safe and warm

Till the early dawn

Warms up to the sun

It would be so nice if only for one night



If only for one night

If only for one night

If only for one night, night, night, yeah one night

If only for one.........night


PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Don't Lose My Number



They came at night leaving fear behind

Shadows were on the ground

Nobody knew where to find him

No evidence was found

"I'm never coming back"

They heard him cry

And I believe him

Well he never meant to do anything wrong

It's gonna get worse if he waits too long



Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere

That I can find you

Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no



Searching through the day and into the night

They wouldn't stop till they found him

They didn't know him and they didn't understand

They never asked him why

"Get out of my way"

They heard him shout

Then a blinding light

Ooh all I could see was him running down the street

Out of the shadows and into the night



Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere

That I can find you, oh

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh



Don't give up

Keep running, keep hiding

Don't give up

Billy, if you know you're right

Don't give up

You know that I am on your side

Don't give up

Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life



Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere

That I can find you, oh

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh



They came at night leaving fear behind

Shadows were on the ground

Nobody knew where to find him

No evidence was found

"I'm never coming back"

They heard him cry

And I believe him

He never meant to do anything wrong

It's gonna get worse if he waits too long



Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere

That I can find you, oh

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - If I Fell



(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)



If I fell in love with you

Would you promise to be true

And help me understand

'Cause I've been in love before

And I found that love was more

Than just holdin' hands



If I give my heart to you

I must be sure

From the very start that you

Would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please

Don't run and hide

If I love you too oh please

Don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I

Would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I

Would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you


GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Why Don't You Stay



there's an old sayin'

that just won't leave my mind

and you know I've been praying

girl you know that you're one of a kind

and I know that you're lonely, baby

and I know you've been sad

and I've been dyin' to see you



there's a picture of you

that's deep inside of my soul

and I wouldn't do

anything you didn't want me to

'cause I get a little worried darlin'

'cause you gotta keep on the right track

and I'm callin' you

so won't you please come back



baby why don't you stay

I can't stop you from leavin'

baby don't go away

you gotta keep on believin'

baby why don't you stay

let's make a brand new start

and let's have a little heart to heart



so let's make a toast

to the times that we've had

'cause I love you the most

thru' the good and thru' the bad

if you want good lovin'

you know where I will be

so won't you please come back

baby come back to me



and let's make a brand new start

'cause the only thing that I want

is for you to be happy, baby



baby why don't you stay...

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Sky Blue



lost my time lost my place in

sky blue

those two blue eyes light your face in

sky blue

i know how to fly, i know how to drown in

sky blue



warm wind blowing over the earth

sky blue

i sing through the land, the land sings through me

sky blue

reaching into the deepest shade of

sky blue



sky blue

so tired of all this travelling

so many miles away from home

i keep moving to be stable

free to wander, free to roam



train pulled out said my goodbyes

sky blue

back on the road alone with the sky

sky blue

there's a presence here no one denies

sky blue



sky blue



sky blue

so tired of all this travelling

so many miles away from home

i keep moving to be stable

free to wander, free to roam



i can hear the same voice calling

crying out, from my heart

and that cry, what a cry

what a cry, it's going to be

if i can stop to let it out, oh


STEELY DAN lyrics - Blues Beach



I was scrapin' bottom

Gropin' in the dark

It takes a crusty punk to really beat

The mean streets of Medicine Park

So I shifted left for out of town

Then I clicked my heels and I doubled down to



Blues Beach

I'm frying

Sizzlin' in the merciful rays

And it's the long sad Sunday

Of the early resigned



I went to Central Station

To catch that early bus

They were gassed and runnin' every which way

But unhappily not for us

Here comes Trina - the child bride

I said hey pretty girl - can I cop a ride to



Blues Beach

It's rainin'

I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar

Well it's a stone soul picnic

For the early resigned



We could rent a paranymphic glider

My hypothetical friend

And we could sail

'Til the bending end



Grab Big Dog a blanket

Angel of my heart

Things may get a whole lot worse

Before suddenly falling apart

Give your roommate Yvonne a ring

Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull some strings



On Blues Beach

I'm dying

Freezin' in the merciful rays

And it's the long sad Sunday

Of the early resigned


THE CHURCH lyrics - Stay All Night (Kings Mix)



[Song For The Asking]



(I am a sailor...did not find me)



I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where you go

I don't know, I don't know why I loved you so

You said it was alright

It stayed with me all night

It stayed with me all night



I don't think, I don't think I've ever been to the brink

I don't think, I don't think I'll have another drink

You said it was enough

Then you called my bluff



You said it was too hard

You took out your trump card

You said it was alright

It stayed with me all night

It stayed with me all night



I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where you are

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care who you are

You said it was too hard

You took out your trump card

You said it was alright

It stayed with me all night

It stayed with me all night



I don't guess the answer will be yes

I don't guess you can't

I don't guess you can't

The answer will be yes


LA TOYA JACKSON lyrics - Reggae Night

DURAN DURAN lyrics - Midnight Sun



As I watch you flickering slowly

In the shadows, nothing to hold

It's as if I don't recall our time before

And would it be so wrong - not to remember?



There are times I look at you differently

Like I've never seen you before

After all we've done

You could be someone

I don't know at all

Don't know you at all



Catch me I don't want to fall



But you pull the mountain from under me

Look, I'm dangling up in the blue

And it's a cartoon kind of eternity

Before I drop down to you

What am I supposed to do now?



There is something beautiful shining

In the hollow knot of your head

If only for a while it seemed to come from the sky

But it's in your head

Yes it fills your head



You an I don't always fly

Let me go I want to fall

Deep into the dark

But I'll come back to you



And I'll always know how to find you

Cause you shine like the midnight sun!


THE SMITHS lyrics - Unloveable



Oh...

I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours

Oh...



I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

Oh, message received

Loud and clear

Loud and clear

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours



I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

For message received

Loud and clear

Loud and clear

Message received

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours



I wear Black on the outside

'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside

I wear Black on the outside

'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside



And if I seem a little strange

Well, that's because I am

If I seem a little strange

That's because I am



But I know that you would like me

If only you could see me

If only you could meet me



Oh...

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours

I don't have much in my life

But take it - it's yours

Mmm...

Oh...

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Have Mercy On The Criminal



Have you heard the dogs at night

Somewhere on the hill

Chasing some poor criminal

And I guess they're out to kill

Oh there must be shackles on his feet

And mother in his eyes

Stumbling through the devil-dark

With the hound pack in full cry



Have mercy on the criminal

Who is running from the law

Are you blind to the winds of change

Don't you hear him any more



Praying Lord you got to help me

I am never gonna sin again

Just take these chains from around my legs

Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend



Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam

While you lie on a cold damp ground

You're taking in the face of a rifle butt

While the wardens hold you down



And you've never seen a friend in years

Oh it turns your heart to stone

You jump the walls and the dogs run free

And the grave's gonna be your home


QUIET RIOT lyrics - (We Were) Born To Rock



Streets alive

Something in the air

We're writing up a brand new constitution



Don't want to grow old

Age is in your head

Another boy has soul

His soul for rock and roll



(We were) Born to rock

Pull out all the stops

And we scream

We're the voice

Cause we made our choice

And that is

(We were) Born to rock



Yeah

Rock and roll

Yeah



Look out



All alone

The party's just begun

No boss to guard your shoulder generation



Running out of time

With us there's no control

Rockin' is a crime

Boss man says, "No more."



(We were) Born to rock

Pull out all the stops

And we scream

With the voice

Cause we have the choice

(We were) Born to rock



Rock on!

Watch out!

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh



(We were) Born to rock

Pull out all the stops



(We were) Born to rock

Pull out all the stops



(We were) Born to rock



We were born to rock!


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Home Truth



I hung up the phone tonight

Just as you said I love you

Once this would have been coincidence

Now these things start to bother me

You still close your eyes when I kiss you

And I close mine too

But we didn't open them again

Quite as wide as we should



[Chorus:]

This is where the home truth ends

This is where the home truth ends



Does your touch feel the same as it should do

Or is it someone quite similar

Who killed me with kindness last night

Now do I look at all familiar?

But none of these things seem to matter

Since we've grown apart

I'd put back the pieces of what's shattered

But I don't know where to start



This is where the home truth ends

This is where the home truth ends



This is where the home truth ends

And I feel like a clown

It's tearing me up

It's tearing me down



You say which are the lies that you tell me

Well where do I begin?

So I turn on the TV again

And the world comes crashing in

Is it my shirt or my toothpaste

That is whiter than white?

Is it the lies that I tell you

Or the lies that I might?



This is where the home truth ends

This is where the home truth ends



[Chorus]

AMERICA lyrics - God Of The Sun



God of the sun

Don't make me wait till the morning comes

Light in the sky

Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye



Don't, keep me waiting around

Too much longer now

Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around



When I called you from my river of darkness

An echo was all that came back

Saw you wave goodbye

Down the railroad track

Sometimes when you're out and all alone

And you can't find your way back

Wonder if you'll ever make it home



God of the sun

I'll be around till the day's begun

One sight of your ray

Takes the night away, away, away, away



Oh, but when I walk through that door

Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call

I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind

And I'll talk to you soon

Always remember



When I called you from my river of darkness

An echo was all that came back

I saw you wave goodbye

Down the railroad track

Sometimes when you're out and all alone

And you can't find your way back

Wonder if we'll ever make it home

No more


BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Sometimes I Cry



(Julie Miller, Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller)



Momemnts when I could swear

It's like you were just here

Somebody wake me up when we get there

So you'll be here why can't you be here

Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry

I stop holding up and my heart gets stuck

And that might take awhile

Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry

Sometimes I just break down and my tears come round

Like water from the sky

Sometimes I cry



No one knows what might happen

Takes away so much that matters

Images showing up start me thinking

And remembering I'm remembering



Sometimes I cry sometimes I cry

I stop holding up and my heart gets stuck

And that might take awhile

Sometimes I cry talk to you and sigh

Sometimes you still make me laugh

And that helps to pass

All the carrying on

Sometimes I cry



Can't make the puzzle fit like before

We'll have to discuss that a lot more


STATUS QUO lyrics - Little Dreamer



(Rossi/Frost)



You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer

I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever



Just listen while I'm talking to you all night long

Right or wrong, listen to me all night long

I'm never gonna waste time crying all night long

Right or wrong, I won't be crying all night long



You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer

I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever



You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer

I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever



I've waited long enough I reckon on my own

Tried to phone, tried to phone but you're not home

I'm thinking while I try and reason what went wrong

Something's gone, ain't no good in hanging on



You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer

I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, the fever for the dreamer

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, the fever for the dreamer

You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever

I've got the fever, a fever for the dreamer



You didn't gimme gimme

You didn't gimme gimme

You didn't gimme gimme


DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Room To Breathe



All you want is the shadow behind me

Don't you know that it's nowhere to stand

What if I didn't call you tomorrow

Maybe you'd fall apart after that

You keep it so tight l can't stand it

There's no room for love when it's ended

So give me Room to Breathe

The choice to stay or leave

I don't know what you need

So give me Room to Breathe

If you keep in your mind there's no future

It makes 'now' so much lighter to bear

If you deal with it ever so loosely

You just might shake it, it might clear the air

You keep it so tight I can't stand it

There's no room for love when it's ended


ERIC BURDON AND WAR lyrics - Pretty Colors



I close my eyes and just see pretty colors,

They're dancing just for me, pretty colors (pretty colors)

Locked in my mind they'll always be,

You'll never give your love to me,

So I'll just close my eyes and just see pretty colors (pretty colors).

Locked in my mind they'll always be,

You'll never give your love to me,

So I'll just close my eyes and just see pretty colors (pretty colors)

Pretty colors (pretty colors), pretty colors.

PETER FRAMPTON lyrics - Invisible Man



Can't you see I can't help myself?

You know you really got a hold on me

I need your love, wear jaded gold

For once in my life, do you love me?



All this time you let me spin

(You let me spin)

But you don't know who I am

(Know who I am)



I am the one who did it for you

(Did it for you)

I'm the invisible man



All this love, got to give it up

But you keep me hanging on

Tell me, girl, what's going on?

Don't you know it's the same old song?



All this time you let me spin

(You let me spin)

But you don't know who I am

(Know who I am)



I am the one who did it for you

(Did it for you)

I'm the invisible man



I'm pulling the strings

In the shadows, behind the scenes

I'm keeping the beat

Before you know it, you'll be on your feet

Dancing in the street



All this time you let me spin

(You let me spin)

But you don't know who I am

Can't you see?

(Know who I am)



I am the one who did it for you

(Did it for you)

I'm the invisible man



All this time you watched me spin

(You let me spin)

But you don't know who I am

(Know who I am)



(I'm the one)

I am the one who did it for you

I'm the invisible man


CHER lyrics - Just This One Time



I've got to try just one more time

To help you believe in me

Oh, look into my eyes

Check my face for lies and you might see

My life's never been everything

I want it to be

But with you I could change this bad luck



Just this one time

I need someone to believe in me

Breathe it with me

Get beneath it with me

Now sweet darlin'

Just this one time



I've got to say the perfect thing

Oh, I can't make mistakes now

Oh, I've got to read your signs

I've gotta sing those magic lines

You gotta hear

I know I've given you

Every reason in this

Whole round world to fear me now

But my love's a raging river

And you've wrapped it in your hand

Oh darlin'



Just this one time

I need someone to believe in me

Believe in me

Just this one time

I need someone to leave it with me

Breathe it with me

Oh, get beneath it with me

Now sweet daddy

Just this one time



(Just this one time)

I really need somebody

(Just this one time)

I really need someone

(Just this one time)

I really need somebody

(Just this one time)

I really need somebody, oh

(Just this one time)

I really, I really need someone

(Just this one time)

I really need somebody

Somebody

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Ring Them Bells



Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams

Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams

For they're deep and they're wide

And the world on its side

And time is running backwards

And so is the bride.



Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow

Ring them bells with an ironhand

So the people will know

Oh it's rush hour now

On the wheel and the plow

And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow.



Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son

Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one

Oh the shepherd is asleep

Where the willows weep

And the mountains are filled with lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf

Ring them bells for all of us who are left

Ring them bells for the chosen few

Who will judge the many when the game is through

Ring them bells for the time that flies

For the child that cries

When innocence dies.



Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room

Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom

Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong

And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - My Melancholy Baby



(M. Watson, G. A.Norton & E. Burnett)



Why do you grieve?

Try and believe

Life is always sunshine

When the heart beats true

Banish your fears

Smile through your tears

When you're sad

It makes me feel the same as you...

Come to me my melancholy baby

Cuddle up and don't be blue

All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe

You know, dear, that I'm in love with you...

Every cloud must have a silver lining

Wait until the sun shines through

Come on and smile, my honey dear,

While I kiss away each tear

Or else I shall be melancholy too...


LOU REED AND JOHN CALE lyrics - Starlight



Starlight open wide, starlight open up you door

This is New York calling with movies on the street

Movies with real people, what you get is what you see

Starlight open wide, Andy's Cecil B. DeMille



Come on L. A. give us a call

We've got superstars who talk, they'll do anything at all

Ingrid, Viva, Little Joe, Baby Jane, and Eddie S.

But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to death



Starlight open wide everybody is a star

Split screen 8-hour movies, we've got color, we've got sound

Won't you recognize us, we're everything you hate

Andy loves old Hollywood movies, he'll scare you hypocrites to death



You know that shooting up's for real

That person who's screaming, that's the way he really feels

We're all improvising, five movies in a week

If Hollywood doesn't call us, we'll be sick



Starlight open wide, do to movies what you did to art

Can you see beauty in ugliness, or is it playing in the dirt

There are stars out on the New York streets, we want to capture them on film

But if no one wants to see them, we'll make another and another



Starlight let us in that magic room

We've all dreamt of Hollywood, it can't happen too soon

Won't you give us a million dollars the rent is due

And will give you 2 movies and a painting

Starlight open wide!


MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Corrina, Corrina



(Chatman / Williams / Parish)



Corrina, Corrina, where ya been so long?

Tell me Corrina, where ya been so long?

I haven't had no lovin', since you been gone



I love Corrina, I tell the world I do

Well I love Corrina, I tell the world I do

Well I hope some day she will, come to love me too



Corrina, Corrina, where you stay last night?

Tell me Corrina, where you stayed last night?

You came home this mornin', the sun was shinin' bright



I met Corrina, a-way across the sea

Yeah I met Corrina, way across the sea

She wouldn't write me no letter, she didn't care for me



Bye-bye Corrina, I got to leave ya now

Bye-bye Corrina, I got to leave ya now

Well I know you didn't mean it, no good, no how!

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Daring Night



In the daring night when all the

Stars are shining bright

Squeeze me don't leave me

In the daring night

Galactic swirl in the firmament tonight

Oh with the Lord of the Dance

With the Lord of the Dance

In the daring night



I see Orion and The Hunters

Standing by the light of the moon

In the daring night

In the daring night

And the heart and the soul

As we look up in awe and wonder at the heavens

Oh and we go with the Lord of the Dance

With the Lord of the Dance, the Lord of the Dance

In the daring night



In the daring night when all the stars are

Shining bright

Oh baby squeeze me don't leave me in the daring night

In the firmament we move, we move and we live

And we have our being

Squeeze me don't leave, leave me in the daring night



In the firmament we move and galactic swirl

And we live and we breathe and have our being

Baby in the daring light

Darling squeeze me squeeze me

Don't ever leave me in the daring night

When all the stars are shining bright

And don't let go, and don't let go

Don't let go don't let go in the daring night

And we move and we move, and we move and we move

Baby don't let go in the daring night



In the daring night when all the stars are

Shining bright

Baby squeeze me don't leave me in the daring night

Capture it all oh with the Lord of the Dance

Oh with the Lord of the Dance in the daring night

With the Lord of the Dance in the daring night

With the lord of the dance and the great Goddess

Of the eternal wisdom

Standing by the light of the moon in the daring night



And the bodies move and we sweat

And have our being

Don't leave me in the daring night

In the daring night when all the stars are

Shining bright

Squeeze me don't leave me

Baby in the daring night

Squeeze me don't leave me etc.


GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - You Got Me Going



Now move a little closer baby

Don't stand in the road

There's such a lot of traffic about

You'll catch your death of cold

And as you can well imagine

What with your death on my hands

Nobody would believe me

They just wouldn't understand

Without you knowing

You got me going

Without your knowing

You got me going... (You got me going)

You got me going... (You got me going)

All the way



Now waiting for the bus to come

Is getting to be a drag

Time was when it used to get here

Dead on quarter past

Now its almost quarter to

And still it hasn't shown

By the time I get to your place

I might just as well have flown

Without you knowing

You got me going

Without your knowing

You got me going... (You got me going)

You got me going... (You got me going)

All the way



And I don't ever want you to think

That I'm the sort

Who has a woman waiting for me

In every port

I mean, as far as I know

I've never been to sea

Unless you count the time I went out

In it up to my knees



And I don't ever want you to think

That for a start

I would ever do anything

To break your heart

You see, the bond we have between us

Is enough

To ensure when we're together

We are miles away in love



Now I'm not superstitious

But if ever I see a cat

The first thing that I do

Is check and see it isn't black

And if on close inspection

It turns out to be maroon

I'll breathe a heavy sigh of relief

And grab you on my broom

Without you knowing

You got me going

Without your knowing

You got me going... (You got me going)

You got me going... (You got me going)

All the way


W. A.S. P. lyrics - Why Am I Here



[Jesse to God:]



Oh tell me Lord, why am I here?

Lost in all our pain and sorrow

Are we to live in pain and fear?

Oh tell me Lord, why am I here?

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Who's It Gonna Be



(Gary Goetzman and Mike Picirillo)



All of the girls want a taste of you

They don't seem to care what you put them through

Everybody knows one or two don't get it

You've got such an appetite

Any girl who's loving you will get to prove it

Once it's done and over now



Who's is gonna be this time

Who's the girl you got in mind

Who's it gonna be this time

Who's gonna be the next in line



You're looking back once you've had your fun

Room for regret once it's over and done

Even in your sleep you can't stop performing

There ain't nothing you won't do

I know what to do when everybody's watching

They don't know you like I do



Who's it gonna be this time

Who's the girl you got in mind

Who's it gonna be this time

Who's gonna be the next in line



Such a freak, you only like your love inside of this fishbowl (...?)

Such a freak, everybody's waiting for your big show

Who's it gonna be now

Who's it gonna be now

Such a freak, you only like your love inside of this fishbowl (...?)

Any girl who loves you gets the chance to prove it

Once it's done and over now



Who's it gonna be this time

Who's the girl you got in mind

Who's it gonna be this time

Who's gonna be the next in line



Who is gonna get your lovin

Who is gonna get your lovin

Who is gonna get your lovin

Who is gonna get your lovin

Who's it gonna be, gonna be, gonna be


JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Jerry



Jerry's yelling at the man in the Moon

He's right outside of my window

He acts like a madman from time to time

I hope he brings it to a crescendo soon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon



Jerry rides his skateboard down the street

He's thirty-seven years old with six children

He sees the world through a ten year old boy's eyes

He doesn't even notice that it's raining outside

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon



But sometimes he cries

He wants me to console him

But I know that he's lying about everything he's told me



Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Says he's prepared to suffer the consequences

What is his penalty for his immaturity

Will he be cast into eternal darkness

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry's yelling at the man in the moon


GREEN DAY lyrics - Tired Of Waiting For You



So tired

Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul

I had nobody till I met you

But you keep me waiting all of the time

What can I do???



It's your life

And you can do what you want

Do what you like

But please don't keep me waiting

Please don't keep me waiting

Cause i'm so tired

Tired of waiting

Tired of waiting for you

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - The State Of Grace



(Trey Bruce/Lisa Drew)



Grace works down at Wal-Mart

For thirteen years she's punched that clock

Been ten weeks without a day off

She never gave it too much thought

Til one morning in the mirror

Two new lines opened her eyes

And suddenly it hit her

She still had the wings to fly

Attention late night shoppers

A two for one on broken chains



That's the state of grace

It's the weak made strong

It's finding what you're missing

Was right there all along

It's an open road to a better place

It's a life worth living

In the state of grace



Grace cleaned out her bank account

Bought a beat up camper truck

Turned her pink slip into personnel

Then tore her time card up'

As she drove away she wondered

What New York City'd be like

And would the stars really keep you up

On a clear desert night

With a front seat full of road maps

To help her lose her way



That's the state of grace

It's the weak made strong

It's finding what you're missing

Was right there all along

It's an open road to a better place

It's a life worth living

In the state of grace



Grace knew when she looked up

There wouldn't be a sky

If the dreams we've been given

Weren't supposed to fly



It's an open road to a better place

It's a life worth living

In the state of grace

It's a life worth living

In the state of grace


COLOSSEUM II lyrics - Castles



(Gary Moore/John Hiseman)



I'm free to go.

There's no more need to stay.

Throw away the works of years

And return to Adam's way.



Retreat from shadow

To dabble baths and sun bleached joys.

Live it out on an island in the mind

Untouched by human flaws.



I'm free to go.

There's nothing in my way.

Up above the rainbow's end

The gold all melts away.



Return a hero

From distant lands of fight and fire.

Escape into the piece in my mind

And climbing higher and higher.



I nearly made it that time.

I nearly got away.

I nearly made it that time,

But I always have to stay.



I'm throwing out my tickets

To the outside world.

Lost interest in a drama

Which is destined to unfold.



I'm heading out for the shores

Of a friendly land.

Where every grain of sand

Reaches out to shake me

By the hand.



I nearly made it that time.

I nearly got away.

I nearly made it that time,

But I always have to stay.



I nearly made it that time.

I nearly got away.

I nearly made it that time,

But I always have to stay.



I nearly made it that time.

I nearly got away.

I nearly made it that time,

But I always have to stay.



I nearly made it that time.
