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

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
Simon, oh oh oh

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

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

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

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
(Amir S. Bayyan/La Toya Jackson)
Reggae night, we come together when the feeling's right
Reggae night, and we'll be jammin 'till the morning light

Reggae night, and we'll be jammin 'till the morning light

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.
