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

Some Part of the World

These Are the Pale Deaths Which

Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation

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

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

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

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
