RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Chuck E's In Love
How come he don't come and P. I.P. with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn(ed) off the t. v.
And hang(ed) that sign on the door?
Well we call and we call "How come?" we say
Hey what could make a boy behave this-a way, yeah?
And he learn(ed) all of the lines, now, and every time
He gonna s-stutter when he talks
And it's true! It's true! He sure has acquired this kinda cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk(s)
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans,
If this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean
That means Chuck E's in love
I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I got to see. Is he here?
I look in the poolhall. Is he here?
I look in the drugstore. Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
Well I'll tell you what, I saw him
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages
And whatever is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name? Is that her there?
Oh Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!
And is that her? Well then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be same.
That's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl singing this song
Don't you know
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love...
Chuck E's in love with me
GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Turn Out The Lamplight
Comin' home is always joy to me
Ain't a place that I would rather be
I need to see the heaven in your eyes
'Cause you're the love that's always hard to find
Every dreams that's ever crossed my mind
Only you can make the day end right
So turn out the lamplight
Sit by my side, love me tonight
So turn out the lamplight
Let's dream for a while just you and I
And we'll let the world go spinning by
On a day when problems get me down
It's nice to think about the love we found
All I need is you and I'll get by
And though the years may make me old and gray
Darling you'll still take my breath away
'Cause time can't change the warmth inside your smile
So turn out the lamplight
Sit by my side, love me tonight
Turn out the lamplight
Let's dream for a while just you and I
And we'll let the world go spinning by
Sit by my side
Sit by my side and love me, love me tonight
Turn out the lamplights and let's dream
Let's dream for [Incomprehensible]
Yes, you and I
Oh, sit by my side
HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Jammin'
Ooh, yeah! All right!
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow:
I'n'I will see you through,
'Cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice,
Jammin' till the jam is through.
We're jammin' -
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past;
We're jammin',
And I hope this jam is gonna last.
No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow;
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; Jah - Jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord;
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'),
We're jammin' right straight from Yah.
Yeh! Holy Mount Zion;
Holy Mount Zion:
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation.
Yeah, we're - we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
See, I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
I'm jammed: I hope you're jammin', too.
Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist,
So jam by my side.
We're Jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'), yeah-eah-eah!
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin',
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin';
Hope you like jammin', too.
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin'),
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin').
I wanna (I wanna jam it wid you) - I wanna -
I wanna jam wid you now.
Jammin', jammin' (hope you like jammin' too).
Eh-eh! I hope you like jammin', I hope you like jammin',
'Cause (I wanna jam it wid you). I wanna... wid you.
I like - I hope you - I hope you like jammin', too.
I wanna jam it;
I wanna jam it.
DORO PESCH lyrics - Born To Bleed
I just know it I can feel it
There's something in the air tonight
Maybe the moon just gave up and fell
Something's not quite right
My heart feels so empty
My mind's to full of doubt
I should just stay in and go to bed
Bat now I'm stepping out
[Chorus:]
Sometime I feel I was born to love you
Sometime I feel I was born to die of need
I ache at the thought of you holding another
I can't shake the feeling that I'm
Born to bleed
I just know it you're not in here
And this is where you said you'd be
Talkin' with your friends just being yourself
Well that's the part of you that worries me
I should stay here sort of hang out
But I quit smokin' and I hardly drink
The only bad habit that I got
Is dealing with the thoughts I think
[Chorus]
Home at last well there's your car in the driveway
When I get in that house I'm gonna give you
A piece of my mind
You're sound asleep I might have known it
Well what's this? You left me a note
Says you waited up for me 'til the sun came up
Let's see what else you wrote
[Chorus]
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Walking On A Wire
(Richard Thompson)
I hand you my ball and chain
You just hand me that same old refrain
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
I wish I could please you tonight
But my medicine just won't come right
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake
And no one else
This grindstone's wearing me
Your claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long, too long to myself
Where's the justice and where's the sense?
When all the pain is on my side of the fence
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
Too many steps to take
Too many spells to break
Too many nights awake
And no one else
This grindstone's wearing me
Your claws are tearing me
Don't use me endlessly
It's too long, it's too long to myself
It scares you when you don't know
Whichever way the wind might blow
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling
I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling

FREDDIE MERCURY lyrics - I Was Born To Love You
(Freddie Mercury)
An amazing feeling coming through...
I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart
Yes I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life
You are the one for me, I am the man for you
You were made for me, you're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity, I'd kill for your love
So take a chance with me, let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream and my dreams come true
Its so hard to believe this is happening to me
An amazing feeling coming through
I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart
Yes I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life
I wanna love you, I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you love you love you
(Born) to love you (born) to love you yes (Born) I was born to love you
(Born) to love you (born) to love you every single day of my life
I was born to take care of you, every single day of my life
Alright! hey! hey!
Every single day of my life
I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart
Yeah I was born to take care of you honey, every single day of my life
ROD STEWART lyrics - What Do You Want Me To Do?
I tried to do the things in my own way
I tried to do what people say
but I was going nowhere fast
And now I'm turning to you at last
(1) What do you want me to do
What so you want me to do
What do you want me to do, Lord
I can see the lights of home
But I can't get there on my own
I can see the landing strip
But I need you to guide my ship
[Repeat (1)]
I've been a fool and I've been a clown
I've let the enemy turn me around
I've wasted love and I've wasted time
I've been proud and I've been blind
There's such a lot of things to change
A whole world to arrange
And if you show me how
I'll begin right now
[Repeat (1)]
What do you want me to do, Lord
What do you want me to do, Lord
"Cause I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'
Lord, I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'
DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Believe In Me
If I could ever say it right and reach your hostage heart
Despite the doubts you harbor then you might come to believe in me
The life I lead is not the kind that gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find that you can believe in me
Those other loves that came before mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure and will not believe in me
[Chorus:]
Too many hearts have been broken failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real
If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing a song
That ends your questioning and makes you believe in me
[Chorus]
And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - I Won't Be Lonely Long
(Van Wijk)
Sitting here waiting at the station,
Waiting for my train to come.
I've got a one-way ticket hanging out my pocket,
I won't be lonely long.
Eleven forty-five I'm gonna get that train,
I know I won't be lonely again.
Mister, rent your driver, put your foot on the floor,
I can't be there at no later than four.
Burn the track, get me back,
There's someone at the end of the line.
Let's fade away like the evening sun.
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long.
Sitting here waiting at the station,
Waiting for my train to come.
I've got a one-way ticket hanging out my pocket,
I won't be lonely long.
Eleven forty-five I'm gonna get that train,
I know I won't be lonely again.
Mister, rent your driver, put your foot on the floor,
I can't be there at no later than four.
Burn the track, get me back,
There's someone at the end of the line.
Let's fade away like the evening sun.
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long.
Burn the track, get me back,
There's someone at the end of the line.
Let's fade away like the evening sun.
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long.
AMY GRANT lyrics - Do You Remember The Time
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderely washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
In a moment love broke through heaven and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Betcha Thought - We Couldn't Do It
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. But if we didn't we would die
We built our house stone by stone. Little help, we were on our own
Made the town, torn it down. Now you know, tell me how it feels
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. But if we didn't we would die
We've been waiting such a long long time. To fit the pattern, fill the rhyme
Now we can't stick in our old ways. Now it's out we'll see how you feel
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it. But if we didn't we would die
CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - When You Were Mine
(Prince)
When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with u
I know that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS lyrics - Mama And Papa Hopkins
(Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins)
I wonder why my mama don't love my papa no more?
I guess my daddy been doing somethin' wrong
I wonder why my mama don't love my papa no more?
Yeah, my daddy must been doing somethin' wrong
You know, I asked my mama, I said "Mama, what's the trouble?"
She looked at me and said, "Boy, you'd better go head on"
I looked at my mama, she looked at me unconcerned,
I told my mama, "Don't forget mama, you never gets too old to learn"
That time I was talkin' my daddy, walked in the door,
Said, "Let that boy alone, 'cause he's tellin' you something right, don't ya know?"
Mmmmm, you never gets too old to learn
Still, I say my papa must-a done somethin' wrong,
Oh yeah, to 'cause my mama's heart to ruin
Well, you take two old people that's been together a long time,
They don't want children's or nobody else messin' round their bidness
See, that's what I'm talkin bout!
But, the reason why I was talkin', 'cause my mama,
I didn't want her to feel too bad over what papa do
And I don't want papa to feel too bad over what mama do
And I had-a tell 'em
You two people is livin', you been together for a great, long time
You two people's been livin', yeah you been together for a great, long time
Yeah, you know you had four boys and one girl to raise,
Now, ya better get bad things off your mind
Y'all just get together and try to get along,
'cause, you ain't got many more days here
You know, then papa told mama, "come, sit down on my knee"
Said, "Little things I've did, will you please, forgive me?"
And it made me feel so good, man, I went truckin' on down the line
You know I wa't'nt gonna leave 'til I get them old folks together,
Whoa yeah, and get bad things of they mind
Sho'h 'nough
STATUS QUO lyrics - Old Time Rock And Roll
(Jackson / Jones)
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll

JETHRO TULL lyrics - This Is Not Love
Winds howled. Rains spit down.
All these nights playing precious games.
Cheap hotel in some seaboard town
closed down for the winter and whispered names.
Puppy-dog waves on a big moon sea
snap our heels half-heartedly
and how come you know better than me
that this is not love.
No, this is not love.
Empty drugstore postcards freeze
sunburst images of summers gone.
Think I see us in these promenade days
before we learned October's song.
Out on the headland, one gale-whipped tree;
curious, head bent to see.
And how come you know better than me
that this is not love.
Down to the sad south, smokey plumes
mark that real world city home.
Broken spells and silent gloom
ooze from that concrete honeycomb.
Puppy-dog waves on a big moon sea
snapped our heels half-heartedly
and how come you know better than me
that this is not love.
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Hellacious Acres
[Performed by Kris Kristofferson]
Look who's advertising
Billboards everywhere
"See Hellacious Acres
Your tailor made nightmare"
Traffic is backed up for miles
Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles
Steady...steady...
Have your tickets ready
Steady... steady...
Go to hell
After dark
It's a sin-filled city
An amusement park
It's a one way ticket to the other side
It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde
See Lizzie Borden, she's one of the stars
And Tricky Dicky barkin'
Flashin' you his pardon
Jack the Ripper slashin' your tires
Even the devil needs money
To cover his overhead
That's why he opened Hellacious Acres
Or so his press agent said
Hang out with heavies
Your partners in crime
Forget the consequences,
Have a good time
Sready...steady...
Have your tickets ready
Steady...steady...
Go to hell
After darks
It's a sin filled city
An amusement park
And a one way ticket to the other side
It's a Dr. Jekyll it's a Mr. Hyde
Get down and study suspicion and doubt
At Hellacious Acres
Listen mischief makers
Admission's free you pay to get out

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Take Me To The River
I don't know why I love you like I do
After the things that you put me through
You stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't see hide nor hair of you yet
I wanna know, won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay...
Take me to the river, and wash me down
She cleans my soul
Put my feet on the ground
I don't know why you treated me so bad
After the things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen will never regret
Oh wanna know, won't you tell me
I'll be in love to stay
Take me to the river...
Hold me, love me
Please me, tease me
Till I can, till I can...
I don't know why I love you like I do
After tha changes you put me through
Your sixteen candles are right on my wall
They tell me who made a fool of them all
I wanna know, won't you tell me
I'll be in love to stay
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Walk me to the water
Walk me to the water
Take me to the river
Just walk me to the water
Walk me to the water
Take me to the river
Take me to the river...

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Keep Me From Blowing Away
(Paul Craft)
Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
RICHARD MARX lyrics - Ride With The Idol
Try to remember those ancient evenings
When all we had was just enough.
Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming.
The grief was finally just too much.
I'm going to ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
Over my shoulder, I know they're waiting.
Their dirty hands are everywhere.
And as they get closer all the pretense is fading.
The face beneath the skin is bare.
So now I ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
I can never learn to say no.
Won't they ever let me go?
[Guitar interlude]
I'm going to ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage. oh yeah, yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
Ride with the idol,
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage. oh yeah, yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame
BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Dance Away
Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said "it's love" you said "alright"
It's funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my close and dance till dawn
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away, dance away, dance away
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street onto the floor
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
JOHN DENVER lyrics - Hitchhiker
If you're riding down the road and you come across an old man
holding out his thumb in the wind.
Clothes are old and dirty, that doesn't matter, it's his eyes that tell you where he's been.
If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger, he might have some company to lend.
Pull off to the side, let the old man have a ride. He'll tell you all the crazy things he's seen.
I'm an old hitchhiker, highway is the only home I know.
Where you headed, I don't mind. I ain't been there in some time,
but it's just exactly where I wanna go.
I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker calling people in from far and wide.
They never did regret the dollar that it cost them, we always left 'em feeling good inside.
We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer, her beauty it was more than I can say.
Then one summer night she set my soul on fire, Lord, I wish that she was here with me today.
I'm an old hitchhiker, wonder what's awaiting round the bend.
I don't know what I might see, I don't need no guarantee,
just a ride from here to there and back again.
I was only seventeen when I took the open highway, took it for my teacher and a friend.
I've been thirty years of thumbing, some might call it bumming,
it's better than just crying in the wind.
If you're driving down the road and you come across an old man,
holding out his thumb in the rain.
You can pull off to the side, let the poor boy have a ride,
he can tell you all the crazy things he's seen.
I'm an old hitchhiker, looking to the far side of the hill.
Some people say I'll settle down, build a home in some small town.
But in my heart I know I never will, I'm an old hitchhiker.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Confusing The Mind
Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind
Let's start one step at a time
Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind
Always remember, there are two diseases in any business
Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children
Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children
There's no need for confusing the mind
Or... or or filling up the mind with those little things that that
NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Something Else
(E. Cochran/S. Sheeley)
[Originally by Stray Cats]
Hey look a there
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her
Since I don't know when
But she don't notice me
When I pass
She goes with all the guys
From out of my class
But that can't stop me
From a thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man
She's somethin' else
Hey look a there
Across the street
There's car
Meant just for me
To own that car
Would be a luxury
But right now
I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible
Is out of my class
But that can't stop me
From a thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin', man
It's somethin' else
Hey look a here
Just wait and see
Work hard
And save my dough
I'll buy that car
That I've been wantin' so
Get me that girl
And we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp
With the white top down
I'll keep right on a dreamin'
And a thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man
Wow, that's somethin' else
Hey, look a here
What's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am
A knockin' on a door
My car's out front
And it's all mine
Just a '41 Ford
Not a '59
I got that girl
And I'm a thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin', man
Wow, she's somethin' else
BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Shut Up
May it never be said she's knockin' them dead
But is there a fame, it's such a cryin' shame what they're sayin'
It's more than a game that they're playin'
At the start as we all should know
That she's some kind of sleaze, that's a social disease
Shut up, shut up
Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It's all right with me, if she wants to be
As loony as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me
The story book lies, there's stars in her eyes
She's one of a kind and I sure am glad that I met her
I couldn't have found one much better
But there's something we all should know
She's a kind of a gnu that belongs in a zoo
Shut up, shut up
Don't tell me that my best friends like Alice
Who might wind up in a looking-glass palace
It's all right with me, if she wants to be
As naughty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me
Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It's all right with me, if she longs to be
As nutty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me
Shut up, shut up
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Masters Of War
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly.
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain.
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins.
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.

B. B. KING lyrics - The Worst Thing In My Life
(B. B. King / Joe Josea)
Yes, it was the worst thing in my life, the worst thing I ever witnessed to
Yes, it was the worst thing in my life, the worst thing I ever witnessed to
When the woman that I loved, when she said we were really through
Take it easy baby, lots of things come before we part
Take it easy baby, lots of things come before we part
Yes, lots of those little things you're doing
I want to know if you're doing them, because you think you're so smart
I don't say that you won't leave me, but think of the shape you'll be in
I don't say that you won't leave me, but think of the shape you'll be in
I want to know you'll hate that you ever met me, and you'll hate the day that we began
Why should you 'cuse me, baby, without me giving you a cause
Why should you 'cuse me, baby, without me giving you a cause
I know I've been good to you, baby, as if I was a Santa Claus
You don't think much of your life, to put yourself in a spot
You don't think much of your life, to put yourself in a spot
When the people see me clowning, they all wonder what you got
JIMMY REED lyrics - Wake Up At Daybreak
Wake up at daybreak, I just can't sleep at night
I wake up at daybreak, I just can't sleep at night
I'm rollin' an'that's because, my baby got me uptight
I'm like a tumblin' weed, baby, I tumble 'cause I'm all alone
I'm like a tumblin' weed, baby, I tumble 'cause I'm all alone
You know I'd feel better, baby, if ya called me on the phone
Don't you say a word, baby, long as I know you're on the line
Don't say nothin', baby, I'm gonna say on the line
Let me do all the talkin', I've got so much on my mind
I hear ya!
I wake up at daybreak, I just can't sleep at night
I wake up at daybreak, I just can't sleep at night
I keep rollin' an' cryin', because my baby got me uptight
Like a tumblin' weed baby, I tumble 'cause I'm all alone
I'm like a tumblin' weed baby, I tumble 'cause I'm all alone
I would feel much better, if ya'd call me on the phone
Don't say a word, baby, as long as you on the line
Don't say nothin' , baby, just stay on the line
Let me do all the talkin', now honey, I've got somethin' on my mind
TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Thangs Change
[Jamal:]
Simpty is for them simp ass niggaz
Talkin lot, til I spray dumpin??? niggaz
Whenver talklin shit, I straight rip 'em
And niggaz know I come equip when I whip them
[Short Dawg:]
You say how can I make these dirty raps
Number one albums, back to back
If it was 1950, do you think I sell, no
They probably throw me straight to jail
I tell you life just ain't what it used to be
Between you and me, exclusively
Everybody's changed, were losing our minds
The government won't help, cause they refuse to find
A solution to the problems of the inner streets
Its a shame what our kids are beginning to be
Pregnant teenagers, young gun slangers
There ain't no love, there ain't nothin but anger
We don't go to church and can't pray in school
Listen real close to what I'm sayin fool
I know kids who went to school together
Now they all grown up, tryin to kill each other
Shootouts on the playground is where it goes down
But back in the day, we rode the merry-go-round
And some little kid might shoot me tonight
And I always used to wonder what the future be like
Curse words on the tv and radio
You wanna see sex, turn it on HBO
Late at night, you see women freak women
Sex sale, that's why I keep pimpin
I grew up in the 70s', somethin like Crooklyn
But I was in Cali not Brooklyn
I could tell the whole world was going crazy
But it really didn't happen til the 80s'
With freebasin and smokin crack
A lotta people learned not to joke with that
Streets flooded, with homeless folks
Whole families, lives gone up in smoke
We're all related to a crackhead
Sometimes I wake up in the mornin and wanna go back to bed
Layin these thinkin bout things
About the way life change
How women used to like to wear decent clothes
Now they curse like men and dress like hoes
You supposed to be a virgin til you marry
But teenage girls find it normal to carry a baby
Babies havin babies
Rappers like me always disrespectin ladies
Wonder why its like that, well so do I
But I just turn my back and then I go get high
Cause I get paid real good to talk bad about a bitch
And you bought it, so don't be mad I got rich
Ask your grandparents, is life the same
Man thangs change
There used to be a time when old folks were respected
Kids talkin back was never accepted
Get spanked and your mouth got washed out with soap
But kids nowadays will curse out old folks
Then you tell me I need to be a role model
And get these babies off the 40ounce bottles
But I'm not the one who made alcohol legal
Liquor stores on every corner that's why we go
Buy 40ounces and go get drunk
Don't respect our kids, like no good punks
And then they grow up to be hardcore criminals
Shoot 'em up, slang dope always pimpin hoes
I know its those that don't believe what I'm sayin on the mic right
So Baby D won't you tell them what its like
[Baby D:]
Its kinda hard comin up as a youngster
Gotta deal with the roof that I'm under
Even though my moms got it hard
My daddy passed away, now I'm stuck without a father
But times have changed bro
I never ever seen Santa Claus comin through the ghetto
But you know what i always see
I always see the white man robbin the black man back G
And I don't even get in trouble for it
And I don't see nothin forward
Always tryin to beat the black man to death
Punk police wanna hide behind your badge
Always tryin arrest somebody
All we gotta do is beat him with the billyclub
Here I come, I comin with my gun
I'm shootin in the head police now what
[Short Dawg:]
I tell you life is too short for it to be like that
We gotta be leaders, can't follow the pack
With all them fiends in the streets smokin crack
What you give life is what it gives you back
Cause money in the ghetto ain't nothin new
But when you get the money gotta know what to do
Buy you a business or buy you a house
Just so the police can't wipe you out
I heard it in the streets, they say you the man
So try to help your brothers and lend a helpin hand
Now what we gone do
[Mr. Malik:]
We came to stack some bodies, killin everybody like John Gotti
I said we came to stack some bodies, killin everybody like John Gotti
Now run up and get gun up the slack black
I'm hittin blackjack in the casino when I mack slap
What you wanna play like Al Pacino with this
Type of style withthe lyricist this funk of hits
and the biscuits I drop
Motherfuckers know I come down and show me??
I don't really care
From the front or the rear
Word to your mother I'm bout to smother and smear
Its that master all I intelligent
Chain that I swing from the others is irrelevant
For you motherfucker step up to the m-i-c
I'm down with Shorty, Ant Banks and Mally G
Its Malik and I freak it's obsolete
My technique motherfucker know I flow over beats
Like water, slaughter dick in yo daughter
And my nuts up in her jaws when she suckin on my balls
Yiggy y'all niggaz best to ask somebody
Cause I'm shootin motherfuckers down with the shotty
Its the motherfuckin master blaster
Its, its the motherfuckin ghetto bastard
ZUCCHERO lyrics - Quanti Anni Ho
C'e' un silenzio quaggiu'
Che mi riposa
Se il mio cuore non sa
Che giorno e'
Quanti anni ho
Mio cielo
Sai che non lo so com'e'
Ma...
Ho bisogno di te
Di svegliarmi nel sole
Da quanto tempo hai il mio cuore
Che non so...
Quanti anni ho
C'e' una pace lassu'
Oltre le stelle
E una luce che sa
Di eternita'
Quanti anni ho
Davvero...
Ho bisogno di te
Di svegliarmi nel sole
Da quanto tempo hai il mio cuore
Non lo so
Ma...
Ho bisogno di te
Cieli immensi e colline
Giugni azzurri nel cuore
Che non so
Quanti anni ho
Sara' pioggia
Che piove e...che va'
Saro' pioggia
E tu pioggia...che va'

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Life Is Long
Ev'rybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see 'cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me - they are to remind me that
I'm lost - but I'm not afraid
Soul to soul - A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half - by the passage of time
Halfway home - from a window you see
Chains and bars - but I am still free
People on the outside - I remember sweet times
This old rose - is always in bloom
Ev'ryone is happy - to be a baby daddy
Stone love - with nothing to lose
Life is long - if you give it way
So stay, don't go - 'cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul - between you and me
Chain me down - but I am still free
Now I can say - those three little words
And ev'ry day - I'm dreaming a world
Soul to soul - a kiss and a sigh
Holding back - the waters outside.
Life is long - if you give it way
So stay, don't go - 'cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul - between you and me
Chain me down - but I am still free

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Youth Culture Killed My Dog
Youth culture (youth culture)
Youth culture (youth culture)
Youth culture (youth culture)
Youth culture (youth culture)
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair (I don't think it's fair)
And his suicide can be justified
By the tastemakers, how they cried and cried and so
Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs
Never, never, never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball
But the night lights and my dog's life aren't exactly one and the same
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair (I don't think it's fair)
And the judgement made in the city of hate
Just broke his spirit so
Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs
Never, never, never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball
But the hiphop and the white funk just blew away my puppy's mind
I don't understand what you did to my dog
And I don't understand what you did to my dog
I don't understand what you did to my dog
I don't understand what you did to my dog
Youth culture killed my dog (Youth culture killed my dog)
And I don't think it's fair (I don't think it's fair)
And his suicide can be justified
By the tastemakers, how they cried and cried and so
Youth culture (youth culture)
Youth culture (youth culture)
Broke his spirit so (broke his spirit so)
Broke his spirit so
Youth culture (youth culture)
(youth culture)
Youth culture (youth culture)
(youth culture)
Broke his spirit so (broke his spirit so)
Broke his spirit so
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - High And Dry
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
High and dry well, I'm up here with no warning
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry
A minute I was up there standing by her side
The next I was down there, well, left out of the ride and
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry
Anythin' I wished for I only had to ask her (yep)
I think she found out it was money I was after
High and dry oh, what a weird letdown
She left me standing here just high and dry
Alright
It's lucky that I didn't have any love towards her
Next time I'll make sure that the girl'll be much poorer
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry
High and dry well, I'm up here with no warnin
Yep
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry
Hey!
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - When You're In Town
[1st verse:]
One fine day on Broadway
Simple Sally Brown
Met a trav'ling salesman who was trav'ling around
"Howdy do, how are you?
Let's go see the town"
Sally answered, "What a pity
I would like to but the city
Folks would talk, they would talk, you know that they can
But I'd like to know you better, Mister Trav'ling Man
[Refrain:]
When you're in town, in my home town
Look me up, look me up
I'll be happy to see you
When you're passing my way, drop in and stay
If you'll come, you're welcome as flowers in May
And you can hang your samples on a sour apple tree
And I'll see that no one's around
For I'd much rather walk where the neighbors don't talk
When in town call around, goodbye
[2nd verse:]
Sally Brown settled down
Wed her trav'ling man
He said, "Dearie, I'll be home as much as I can"
Trav'ling men, now and then
Get a telegram
Their employer sends a wire
"Go and see a certain buyer"
Looking 'round, Sally found in her hubby's coat
Seven diff'rent notes that seven diff'rent females wrote

(Marvin Gaye/James Nyx)
Dah, dah, dah, dah
dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Afraid To Shoot Strangers
(Harris)
Lying away at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert send mound a burial ground
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should live and let live
Forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror cvorruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no rveasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers.
R. E.M. lyrics - All The Way To Reno (You're Gonna Be A Star)
Humming
All the way to reno
Dusted the non-believers
And challenge the laws of chance
Now sweeter
You're so sugar sweet
You may as well have 'kick me'
Fastened on your sleeve
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star
Wing is written on your feet
Your achilles heel
Is the tendency to dream
But you've know that from the beginning
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
Humming
All the way to reno
You've written your own directions
And whistles the rules have changed
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
Humming
All the way to reno
All the way to reno
All the way to reno
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - The Seven Rejoices Of Mary
(Music & Lyric: Traditional arranged by Loreena McKennitt)
The first good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of one.
The first rejoice that Mary had
Was to see her new born son.
To see her new born son good man,
And blessed may he be.
Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of two.
To see her son Jesus,
Make the lame to go.
The next rejoice that Mary had,
It was the joy of three.
To see her own son Jesus,
To make the blind to see.
To make the blind to see good man,
And blessed may he be.
Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
To all eternity.
The next good joy our lady had,
It was the joy of four.
It was the rejoice of her dear son,
When he read the bible o'er.
The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of five.
To see her own son Jesus,
To make the dead alive.
To make the dead alive good man,
And blessed may he be.
Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
To all eternity.
The next rejoice our lady had,
It was the rejoice of six.
To see her own son Jesus,
To bear the crucifix.
The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of seven.
To see her own son Jesus,
To wear the crown of heaven.
To wear the crown of heaven good man,
And blessed may he be.
Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
To all eternity.
And glory may he be,
And blessed now be she.
And those who sing the seven long verses,
In honour of our lady.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Hot Dog!
Hot dog! (Hot dog)
Hot dog!
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Now we got ears, it's time for cheers
Hot dog, hot dog, the problem's solved
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Grab my boots and a sandwich
Let's start a parade
Get the coconut drum kit
For Daisy to play
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're taking off, we're dancing now
Hot dog, leapfrog, and holy cow
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
It's a brand new day
Whatcha waiting for?
Get up, stretch out, stomp on the floor
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're splitting the scene
We're full of beans
So long for now from Mickey Mouse (That's me!)
And the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

K. D. LANG lyrics - A Case Of You
(Joni Mitchell)
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I'd still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
And still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
Mmmmmmm
U. D.O. lyrics - Lost Passion
Welcome hello, please take your seat
We leave now for a trip - in hell
Now we can start especially for you - join us now!
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces
Crawling off the stage
Forgotten heroes lost their passion, many years ago
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion
Now you can see, you can see what it means
To come to a world of lies, all such lies
Think about your destiny - the love you found
Was it just a dream, just a dream
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces...
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion - Lost Passion
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion - Lost Passion - Lost Passion
[Solo]
Time after time in your life...
MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Your Life Story
Maybe love is all anybody
Ever should believe in
Maybe life is just something
That employs us till we die
Maybe all we know
Is that the sun will come up every morning
Maybe time can choose
Whether to be earthbound or to fly
Everybody thinks they've got it down
I won't worry, the truth's always been found
In your life story
Maybe you're the one waiting
For the ship to find your harbor
Maybe you're the one looking
Past the forest to the trees
Maybe you still think
The older that you get
Life just gets harder
Maybe you would trade everything
For just one moment's peace
Everybody strains to hear the sound
Of their heart's calling
Now you can write yours down
It's your life story
Gather up your telegrams
Your faded pictures, best laid plans
Books and postcards, 45's
Every sunset in the sky
Carry with you maps and string, flashlights
Friends who make you sing
And stars to help you find your place
Music, hope and amazing grace
Maybe what we leave
Is nothing but a tangled little mystery
Maybe what we take
Is nothing that has ever had a name
Maybe love will fade
Like the parchment pages of our history
Maybe life is made of flickers
From some brilliant, burnished flame
Everbody's waiting for a sign
I won't worry, I think we'll be just fine
In your life story
It's your life story
And my life story
This is our life story
In your life story

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - You Wanna Give Me A Lift
(Loretta Lynn)
Well I'm game for just about anything but the game you've named I ain't gonna play
You say you take a little drink and we'll go for a ride on a star
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
That happy pill you're takin' you say is a little weak
And you wanna give me one so you say I won't go to sleep
Well your hands're a gettin' friendly but I know exactly where they are
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
I'm a little bit warm but that don't mean I'm on fire
You wanna take me for a ride in the back seat of your car
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
[ dobro - steel ]
You wanna give me a lift...
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - L. A. Is My Lady
(A. Bergman, M. Bergman, Q. Jones, P. Lipton Jones)
[Recorded April 13, 1984, New York]
The music she moves to, is music that makes me a dancer
I brought her my wildest of dreams, and she came up with the answer
I leave behind a part of myself, whenever I leave her
But oh, when I'm back in her arms
She smiles and then - I am home again
'Cause L. A. is my lady, she's always there for me
L. A. is my lady, she knows how to care for me
No lady's sweeter - you know it the moment you meet her
I've been in love more times, than I care to remember
And love's kept me cool in July and warm in December
It may not have lasted, but each time I thought it was heaven
You name it, I've been there and back
Lookin' for someone who - I'd be faithful to
L. A. is my lady, she's always there for me
L. A. is my lady, she knows how to care for me
She's good to me - yeah she's good to me, and that's why
L. A. is my lady - L. A. is my lady
And you're lookin' at a man who - doesn't ever plan to kiss his lady bye-bye
BOB DYLAN lyrics - You're Gonna Quit Me
You're gonna quit me, baby
Good as I been to you, Lawd, Lawd
Good as I been to you, Lawd, Lawd
Good as I been to you.
Give you my money, honey
Buy you shoes and clothes, Lawd, Lawd.
You're gonna quit me, baby
Put me outta doors, Lawd, Lawd.
Six months on the chain gang
Believe me, it ain't no fun, Lawd, Lawd.
Jailhouse ain't no plaything
Believe me, ain't no lie, Lawd, Lawd.
Day you quit me, baby
That's the day you die, Lawd, Lawd.
RENAISSANCE lyrics - Love Is All
My love is the ocean, seas of seeing
My love is living and being
My love is the wind all cast through
My love is real and you
Love is all, love is one, love is one
My love is the sky and the air
My love is around everywhere
My love is the earth and eternity
My love is forever and free
Love is all, love is one, love is one
My love is the way and the song
My love is all and is one
My love is below and above
And everywhere love is love
Love is all, love is one, love is one

HELLOWEEN lyrics - We Unite
When tyrany will have an end around the world
And freedom has become a part to all of our lives
When slavery will have an end to all of us
Then we don't mind the colour of our skin
We go straight for paradise
No more treasons no more lies
One day i will know what we are fighting for
Under the eternal sky we unite to be free from your spell
Someday we will know what we are crying for
Under the eternal flame that's called freedom
Again we unite to be free
Dictators and pretenders we don't need no more
Sending death and soldiers round the world
When no one listens to ya and just turns around
Then your worlds will be blowing in the wind
We go straight for paradise
No more treasons no more lies
One day i will know
Under the eternal sky we unite to be free from your spell
Someday we will know
Under the eternal flame that's called freedom
Again we unite
When tyrany ended and slavery as brought to fall
Then freedom will show
That the world we do live in is worth to fight for
One day we will know what we are fighting for
Under the eternal sky we unite to be free from your spell
Someday we will know what we are crying for
Under the eternal flame that's called freedom
Again we unite to be free
DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Makin' Love Ukelele Style
(Making love ukelele style)
(Making love ukelele style)
Making love ukelele style you needn't be in Waikiki
Making love ukelele style to a lovely ukelele serenade
When you love ukelele style
Well everyone knows you're heart will float far away
To a tropic isle while a ukelele tune is softly played
Strolling along beneath the starlight
Dreaming a lover's dream for two
Soon you will see her eyes of starlight
As the ukelele magic comes through
Now if you want to satisfy
The one that you love all else above
Take a tip and be sure you try the ukelele style of making love
Strolling along beneath the starlight
Dreaming a lover's dream for two
Soon you will see her eyes of starlight
As the ukelele magic comes through
Now if you want to satisfy
The one that you love all else above
Take a tip and be sure you try the ukelele style of making love
Try the ukelele style of making love
Try the ukelele style of making love
YES lyrics - State Of Play
(Rabin, Anderson)
You can hear the siren screaming,
Take me to the promised land;
See the intervention
Take you higher and higher.
See we are the giving world,
We are responsible,
We're not about to break-
It's just a state of play
It's just a state of play
This is the revolution,
Coming with the giving world
No need to wait for your
Appointment is made.
No need to ask for help,
It's in the love we breathe
Dancing in the new design
It's just a state of play
It's just a state of play
Secret needing,
>From this love I'm feeding
High time flying,
>From your love I'm feeding
High time flying,
Monumental reaching to god love
Secret needing,
All I really want to know right now...
The state of play
Are you looking at it
Is it looking at you.
It's just a state of play
It's just a state of play
No point in kidding,
Let the children split the atom-
A firm believer this
Appointment with love.
All those who look for glory,
They see the flags are flying,
They hear the sirn screaming-
It's just a state of play
It's just a state of play
Secret needing,
>From this love I'm feeding
High time, flying,
All I really want to know,
Right now, right now...
(I want to be inside your heart)
I want to know right now,
Is this the state of play.
Are you looking at it.
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Walk On Water
Walk on water, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right
And ain't it wond'rous,
The way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right
Light de light, we got mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away
Light de light, we got de mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away
Light de light, we got mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away
She walks on water,
Ah, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Fifteen Months
(J. Baez)
The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun.
Your dog has flushed a deer and he's on the run.
And the coffee cup is cold
And the morning's feeling very old.
Fifteen months of time my man's been gone.
The second winter now is coming on.
And our fates could all be worse
But sometimes I still must curse my own.
And hello
I wish you well
Where you sleep
All in your cell.
As for friends I can't complain, they've been good to me.
The fire's burning bright, they've left wood for me.
And the roof has been repaired.
And I thank them for the love they've shared.
You see, there's really nothing wrong, I've just got the blues.
Because if you give a damn you're going to pay some dues.
But if you see the game we're in
Like I do, you know in time we'll win.
And hello
I wish you well
Where you sleep
All in your cell.
So time give me a break of a week or more.
My head is reeling and my back is sore.
And the baby cries for me.
And I think I'll walk by the sea alone.
SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Justice For All
We're sitting here in this hell
You know it's like a living hell
Was what you did really a crime?
The judge says you'll have to serve time
It's the law that you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail
Don't bother to try and fight
It's only a few more nights
The deputy, had a bad night
He had a little fight with his wife
And so he's gonna be pised at work
And he's gonna bum out your life
It's the law that you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail
Don't bother to try and fight
It's only a few more nights

STATUS QUO lyrics - Another Shipwreck
(Bown)
I woke this morning in a different disguise and I was crying, crying
You said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I caught the mirror as I opened your letter, I was lying, lying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic, it was dying, dying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I hear you every day, I meet you at night, I see you crying, crying
You say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another earthquake
Another shipwreck, I understand it's time to admit
Despite our endeavours
Cant find whatever we lost....
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home
I may never see home
I may never see home again
I woke this morning in a different disguise
I cracked a mirror as I opened your letter
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic
I hear you every day I meet you at night
Another shipwreck.
DORO PESCH lyrics - Fuel
I'm so exhausted baby I need a shot
Can't make it through the day
The work was too much
I need a break from all the things
That I hate
Come on over now before it's too late
Fuel for my fire
To feed my desire
Fuel for my engine to run
Fuel for my body
And no one will stop me
Can't wait for you won't you come
I need fuel
Fuel for my engine of love
I need fuel
Fuel for my body to start
I need fuel
Fuel for my body
I need fuel
I need you
I like exceptional inflammable stuff
I get it all but it still ain't enough
Born to gain and born to hold my head up
I need it leaded so I won't have to stop
Fuel for my fire
To feed my desire
Fuel for my engine to run
Fuel for my body
And no one will stop me
Can't wait for you won't you come
I need fuel
Fuel for my engine of love
I need fuel
Fuel for my body to start
I need fuel
Fuel for my engine of love
I need fuel
Fuel for my body to start
I need fuel, fuel, fuel...to get off
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Beautiful
You've gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find,
Yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
Waiting at the station
With the work day wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do
But watch the passers by
Mirrored in their faces
I see frustration growing
And they don't see a-showing
Why do I?
You've gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find,
Yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
I have often asked myself
The reason for the sadness
In the world
But tears are just a lullaby
If there's any answer
May be love kind
And the madness may be not
Oh, but we can only try
You've gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find,
Oh, yes, you will
That you're beautiful...
Yes, you're beautiful...
Yeah, beautiful as you feel!
MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Wholy Holy
(Renaldo Benson/Al Cleveland/Marvin Gaye)
Ah, wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
People got to come together
And I know with the strength, power and all the feeling
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, come on get together, one another
Oh Lord
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we believe in one another
Wholy holy we believe in Jesus
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
He left us a book to believe in
In it we've got an awful lot to learn
Oh, wholy holy
Oh Lord
We can conquer hate forever, yes we can
Ah, wholy holy, Oh Lord
We can rock the world's foundation
Yes we can
Better believe it
Wholy holy together and wholy
Holler love across the nation
Oh, oh
Wholy holy
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oooh, ooh...
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Yes I Will
I'll be true to you yes I will
I'll be true to you yes I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
I'll be true to you yes I will
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for
I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
I used to be the kind
Who said that every girl's the same
And love was just a game for havin' fun
But when I looked at you
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one
I'll be true to you yes I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfil
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you yes I will
[Break]
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Oh, yes I will

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Smile
Smile when tears are falling from your eyes
Smile like windows of the shops at night
Here - everything is as it seems
All - the tables and the chairs seem real
Here - paintings on the walls
Somehow make it all so strange
So smile - to brighten up the darkest day
Your smile - like icing on a birthday cake
Lovers - floating in a paradise
Blue - lights flicker from a room at night
I'm happy just to be just like one of these who smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And How we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
I'm scared of me
But scary things
Will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
So smile - when nothing seems to go your way
Smiles - to take away our thoughts and cares
Blue - like blood returning to my heart
Fingers, Hands and every tiny part
Every kid in every school
Knows all you've got to do is - smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And how we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
I'm scared of me
But scary things
Will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
Smile when tears are falling from your eyes
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Lemme Take You To The Beach
Lemme take you to the beach
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Lemme take you to the beach
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahhh
Bring the the weenies
I'll bring the soft drinks
And the cookies
Everybody's in love!
Lemme take you to a show
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Lemme take you to a show
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wohhh
Eat a candy! You are dandy! Can I kiss you?
Maybe I'll just hold your hand-eeee!
Lemme take you to the beach again
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Lemme take you to the beach again
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahhh
At the freak out
Later we'll peak out
You're on restriction
So you'll probably sneak out!

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Fortune Of The Night
Fortune of the night
Callin' out my name
And saying she'll be mine tonight
Fortune of the night
Oh, my heart is tellin' me
Oh, I better put a move on
If she got away
Then not a day would go by
Without some blue song
All my life,
I've waited for just tonight
To say that I love her
And all this time
I've wanted to call her mine
And show her I love her
Fortune of the night, callin' out my name
And saying I will find her
Fortune of the night,
Is there any doubt
I'll need to have her by my side
Fortune of the night
And oh,
I'm really movin' now 'cause
Oh, I would feel like a fool, yeah
If she got away
They'd only say
the rumors would truly be true, yeah
That all this time,
I waited to call you mine
And you got to know it
Fortune of the night
Callin' out my name
And saying I will find her
Fortune of the night
Isn't any doubt
I'll need to have you by my side
Fortune of the night
To want her, to love her
oh I do
Yeah
And all my life
I waited for all my life
To tell her that I love her
Now's my time
I've waited, but now's my time
To show her that I love her
Fortune of the night
Callin' out to me
And saying I was chosen.
Fortune of the night
Tellin' me that
We'll be there until the morning light
Fortune of the night
Fortune of the night
I heard you callin'
Are you gonna keep an eye on me tonight
Fortune of the night
Are you gonna sing your song
With me sometime?
Fortune of the night
Are you gonna shine your light on me
And make her mine
DIO lyrics - Overlove
Seems like heard this song
At least a thousand times before
He just wanted her but she wants more
So build a wall
Keep it all to herself, ooh
Always never seemed to be too much
Reaching out became a spider's touch
Wrapped in chains
Sad remains
Another victim of
Overlove
Overlove
He was just the devil in a thing disquise
Jealousy behind the greenest eyes
Turn the page
Close the cage
On another victim of
Overlove
Overlove, yeah
Overlove
Overlove
Overlove
Overlove
Mamma never left her baby all alone
Baby never knew when she was grown
Now mamma's gone
And come the dawn
You got another victim of
Overlove
Overlove
Overlove
Overlove, love, love, love, love
Overlove

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Cut In The Middle
Ice cold Metalmonster creeping
Through the darkest night
Heart of gold and steel
Because I don't know what to write
Pins and chains and bullet-bells round my metal chest
All that shit looks good on me even if I'm getting fat
Squeeze my ass into leather pants
It needs to be so tight
Tons of beer and alcohol
It brings me through the night
Cut in the middle
Couldn't hurt me too bad if I weren't here
Can someone tell me what it's all supposed to mean
The answer isn't really clear
In a world of lines and pills that where I wanna be
Look at me I am dangerous I lost reality
I look into the mirror babe, I tell you what I see
Is my awful crabface really dirty smiling at me
And sometimes I feel so down and depressed and
What I do is to remember all the past
And my best friend will be the IOU
Cut in the middle
Couldn't hurt me too bad if I weren't here
Can someone tell me what it's all supposed to mean
The answer isn't really clear

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Coal Train Robberies
Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter
cutting
And as the signals took an age to change it was
easy pickings
So you go to the movies where they smash it up
You want to feel your heart pumping it makes
you feel good
All through the karaoke girls were squealing
the hits
As another Mercedes-Benz gets blown to bits
While all the time in the camptown theatres
of Piccadilly
They're going to throw a black-face minstrel
show for the barefoot children
That they're always selling
They'll say "It's quaint" as the guilty ones faint
and claim they ain't underneath this paint
We interrupt these liberal saints with their
whips and watermelon
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
It's like another world, or it had better be
So we return to whitewashed pout of his
committed lips
Since he was declared the long lost fountain
of youth that drips and drips and drips
They'll be sending him round from door to door,
to sell you back what's already yours
"So many good deeds, so little time"
Say the advertising agency swine
When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns
I hope no living thing cries over his bones
If you don't believe that I'm going for good
You can count the days I'm gone and chop up
the chairs for firewood
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
It's like another world, or it had better be
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Believe Me Now
(Steven Curtis Chapman and James Isaac Elliott)
[Psalm 119:89-93 / Isaiah 41:10 / Romans 8:31-39 / Hebrews 13:8]
I watch you looking out
Across the raging water
So sure your only hope
Lies on the other side
You hear the enemy
That's closing in around you
And I know
That you don't have the strength to fight
But do you
Have the faith to stand and...
[Chorus:]
Believe Me now
Believe Me here
Remember all the times I've told you loud and clear
I am with you and I am for you
So believe Me now
Believe Me now
I am the One who waved my hand
And split the ocean
I am the One who spoke the words
And raised the dead
And I've loved you long before
I set the world in motion
I know all the fears you're feeling now
But do you remember who I am?
Do you...
[Chorus:]
So believe Me now
Believe it's true
I never have, I never will abandon you
And the God that I have always been
I will forever be
So believe Me now
I am the God who never wastes a single hurt
That you endure
My words are true
And all My promisis are sure
So believe me now
Oh, believe me now
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Let It Be Me
I bless the day I found you
I want my arms around you
And so I beg you: Let it be me.
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only
And say you'll always let it be me.

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Dreambound
(Music: Gerstner, Lyrics: Gerstner / Weikath)
I'm running on a dusty road
The evil one behind me
I hear his breath and turn around
There's no place left to hide here
Wanna break the chains of fear
There's no way back
Your whisper in my ear
Your touch will save me again
You'll change my dream
You'll guide my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You shine so bright
You turn black into white
I've lost my soul in the game he plays
No doubt that he won't spare me
Hunting me, trapped in his chase
Subject to violation
I'm afraid to fall asleep
Whether day and night
But once I'm there in my dreams
You'll come to save me again
You'll change my dream
You'll guide my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You shine so bright
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll steer my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You are the light
First star I see tonight
