THE CHURCH lyrics - Day Of The Dead
Day of the dead down in Mexico
You ever been on a holiday
You ever thought that you been here before
You ever been in a desperate way
On the beach stands a donkey who is waiting for you
He hee-haws, stamping his hoof
A fine blue day as dreamed by the boys
Nodding up on the roof
And in the meetings held in the darkness
And in the darkness everyone's blind
Venereal monsters stand there in velvet
And I know you're falling behind
Drink in a bar down in Leap Motel
I get involved with a prisoner
She's got a skull like a seraphim
I figure she is a messenger
She's at the heart of the festival
She's got the hands of a picador
She asks the spirits for a romance
She gets a ghost for a paramour
And in the weddings held in the darkness
'Cause in the darkness the guests are all blind
Great lumps are melting wrapped up in satin
And I know you're falling behind
Day of the dead down in Mexico
We read a book on the Alamo
We filled the tank up with Texaco
We buy a trinket for curio
We walk big stuff through the marketplace
Dripping smoke, dollars and after-shave
I got the mind of an astronaut
Emerging from the shell unscathed
Climbing out of hell unchanged
But then the dealers dealt in the darkness
And in the darkness dealers are blind
Jokers and aces, cruisin' in black fur [4:01]
I know you're falling behind
THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP lyrics - Every Little Bit Hurts
(Cobb)
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I die
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go
Every little hurt does
Every little hurt does
To you I am a toy
And you're the girl
Who has the say
Why I should play
Yeah you hurt me
Desert me
I just can't take
The loneliness you give me
I just can't go
Another night this way
Come back to me
Darlin' you'll see
I can give you all the things
You wanted me for
If you will stay with me
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I die
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go
Come back to me
Darlin' you'll see
I can give you all the things
That you watned me for
If you will stay with me
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Read 'Em And Weep
I've been tryin for hour just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I leave you with a letter or a firey speech
like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
and I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I like to know why you gave up and threw it away
I like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
well, I can tell you goodbye or maybe see you around
with just a touch of sarcastic thanks
we started out with a bang
and at the top of the world
now the guns are exhausted
and the bullets are blanks
and everything's blank
[Chorus:]
if I could only find the words
then I would write it all down
if I could only find the voice
I would speak
oh its there in my eyes
oh can't you see me tonight
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep
[Chorus]
I've been whispering softly
trying to build a cry up to a scream
we let the past slip away
and put the future on hold
now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
and I've been dreaming forever
hoping something would eventually come
I saw your eyes in the dark
I felt your kiss on my lips
I traced your body in the air
'til the bodies were numb
well, I could tell you goodbye
or maybe see you around
with just a touch of a sacarcastic thanks
but now the rooms are all empty
the candles are dark
the guns are exhausted
and the bullets are blank
and everything is blank
[Chorus]
Oh it's there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
it's running silent and angry and deep
oh it's there in my eyes
and it's all I can say
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep
for all the hours we'll be spending alone
for the dreams will ignore
and all the promises we promise to keep
they won't be kept anymore
and for the magic that our bodies have made
for this blood that we've lost
and all the secrets that we somehow we betrayed
and for whatever the cost
and for the memories still alive in the bed
for the lies we believe
and all the things we will never have said
why don't you look at me
and ream 'em and weep
come on and look at me and read 'em
it's there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
it's running silent and angry and deep
it's there in my eyes
and it's all I can say
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep

ZZ TOP lyrics - If I Could Only Flag Her Down
I don't need her money
I don't need a ride
I got enough connections
I don't need a piece of her hide
I just wanna please her
I just wanna squeeze her
I just wanna crash her
I just wanna trash her
If I could only flag her down
If I could only flag her down
Well, it's not because of her beauty
And her brand new low cut blouse.
It's not because she's so snooty
Or a fine famed millionaire.
It's not 'cause she's in motion
In a brand new cadillac car
It's not because of her lotion
She's a real sweet candy bar
I just want to meet her
I just want to squeeze her
I just want to crash her
I just want to trash her
If I could only flag her down!
If I could only flag her down!
SPARKS lyrics - Stop Me If You've Heard This Before
(Ron & Russell Mael)
I'm loyal, I'm faithful, I trust you
Then Friday, I walk in and bust you
With someone else
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
I'm wary of lasting relations
Since you started taking vacations
With all my friends
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
I know what you do
I know what you're up to
I know what you do
I know what you're up to
I lie here, I'm waiting, debating
I know you, you're out there, gyrating
With someone else
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Series Of Dreams
I was thinking of a series of dreams
Where nothing comes up to the top
Everything stays down where it's wounded
And comes to a permanent stop
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
Nothing too very scientific
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Thinking of a series of dreams
Where the time and the tempo fly
And there's no exit in any direction
'Cept the one that you can't see with your eyes
Wasn't making any great connection
Wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
Nothing that would pass inspection
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Dreams where the umbrella is folded
Into the path you are hurled
And the cards are no good that you're holding
Unless they're from another world
In one, numbers were burning
In another, I witnessed a crime
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't looking for any special assistance
Not going to any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
Just thinking of a series of dreams

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - The Bitch Sucks Dick
Oh yes, I'm that master rap
I'm the cold cap (echo)
I'm what you know, ask
Rapping
Beyotch, Beyotch
2 times baby, one time more
Give it one more for Sir Too Short
When I rap, I'm like this, I'm like that
They can't resist, the MC MC MC thing
That Too Too Too Too Too Short thing
Beyotch, I don't stop
Never ever ever will smoke that rock
Beyotch, I don't quit
I'm Too Short baby, got the shit
To rap on the mike, turn you out
Too Short baby without a doubt
I gotta change the beat
I got a song for every cold player
Oh yeah, this here song is dedicated to any nigger who ever in
life got his dick sucked. So if you don't know what it's like
to get your dick sucked, well then just dream.
H-E-A-D
I need a doctor just for me
To suck my dick, like a vet
To suck my dick until I sweat
I need a bitch, thick as hell
She's gotta suck dick so I can tell
All my homies, what she did
She sucked and sucked and she's a bitch
The homeboys laugh, everytime
And then I put her in my rhyme
Talk about a bitch who sucked dick
Man oh man that bitch can lick
She'll have a nigger jumping up
Making a nigger just wanna fuck
Have you heard about baby, man she's tough
You know I have and now she sucks
The bitch sucked dick, so much dick
I loved that blowjob
I'm Sir Too $hort, I don't stop
I love a bitch for a blow job
I just laugh, over and over
When a bitch drinks sperm like it's a soda
A nigger be aiming, whops I missed
Get back bitch, we'll never kiss
When it comes to me, game is tough
Have you heard about baby, man she sucks
The bitch sucked dick, so much dick
I loved to get my dick sucked by her
Bitches in Oakland want to be under
When they suck dick like girl wonder
Niggers in Oakland are sick as hell
As soon as they nut they gots to tell
All the homies, what she did
She sucked and sucked and she's a bitch
The homeboys laugh everytime
And then I put her in a rhyme
Cause when a bitch sucks me down
I kick on back and think about now
When I sing about rap, all about her
The way she will and put in work
I'm Sir Too Short, in the chair
Bust big nuts like a big 'ol player
And sometimes baby we could fuck
But everytime you know she sucks
The bitch sucked dick, so much dick
I loved to get my dick sucked by that bitch
Me and homeboy roll to the Hyatt
Shit went crazy when they had a riot
I got in the Cutlass, went a few blocks
Saw a bitch and had to stop
Asked her if she needed a ride
The bitch just kept on walking by
So I said baby, could we just talk
I make you see, no need to walk
She never should have stopped, now that time
Cuz now baby, your in my rhyme
I remember you leaving, said I'll see you soon
I remember us going in my room
But I've never seen you, you freaky bitch
I now I tell the world just how you live
Too bad baby, we couldn't fuck
Everytime I see ya I'm a say you suck
The bitch sucked dick
Man that bitch is going to give a vicious blow job
When I drop my drawls, I'll be ready
Blow more head than Blow Job Betty
Suck my dick, and suck it cool
And suck my homie when he come through
Just suck dick, till you see no other
I think my homie, is bringing his brother
All my homies are coming up
Kick back and cap and say she sucks
The bitch sucked dick
That bitch sucked dick [echo]
I love a bitch like that, suck a whole lotta dick
Knows, get a nigger all juiced up when they bust into the bitches mouth
I'm a tell ya
If I wanted, I could black her
But I'm not fucking no head doctor
Bitches don't know that Too SHort tip
You might get fucked if you don't suck dick
But I'm so freash, I'm so down
I tell that bitch the other way around
Suck my dick and you'll get some
I'll fuck you baby till your cock is numb
I'll bust my nut in her mouth
Smooth get dressed and roll out
I'm Sir Too Short, fresh fresh again
Kicking it tough just like a pimp
I could rap non stop in stereo
I talk about a bitch, I watch her blow
Cause she just can't wait to fuck
So for that one reason you know she sucks
The bitch sucked dick, so much dick
I just love that bitch for that good blowjob
I'm Too S-H-O-R-T
Rap so strong to the disco beat
Talk about bitches who ever licked
Bitch don't lie, you sucked my dick
More then once, more than twice
It was hella times and it all was nice
You see me nut, when i look down
And you looked up and see me frown
Cause your one bitch I'll never fuck
Do you know why, because you suck
She's a vicious head doctor with a P. H.D.
SAXON lyrics - Midas Touch
See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly never stands in crowds
Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the beauty in his eyes
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
He looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of Hades
To stop the Lord Of Darkness
Coming straight from hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who tolls the bell
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
Until the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil force
He waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen world
He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes
VINCE GILL lyrics - This New Heartache
Oh here I sit with my first glass of whiskey
Wondering where I went wrong
How I wish she was still right here with me
I long to hear all those old country songs
Like old Hank Williams when he'd sing about lonesome
And Hag about misery and gin
If the jukebox would play Patsy's 'Crazy'
Then I could let this new heartache begin
The band just quit and the lovers are leaving
And the bartender said it's closing time
Oh I wonder if she's having trouble sleeping
And if those songs keep on runnin' through her mind
Like 'Crazy Arms' and 'A-11'
The 'Lovers Blues' we're 'Together Again'
Why baby, why must you and 'I Fall To Pieces'
It's time to let this new heartache begin
Why baby, why must you and 'I Fall To Pieces'
It's time to let this new heartache begin

ROGER HODGSON lyrics - You Make Me Love You
Alright, you make me love you
It's alright, you make me love you
I said alright, you make me love you
It's alright, you make me love you
When the winter wind in a-blowing'
Well you never know where it's goin'
For the skies are dark and the clouds are rollin' in
You can feel your heart is getting older
You can feel the world is getting colder
And it feels so good just to have you next to me
Oh baby alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you
Oh I said alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you
Now the days are all getting shorter
They seem to slip away like water
Oh the land is cold and the night is closing in
But you're always there when I need you
When it feels the world is against you
Oh it feels so good with you standing next to me
Oh baby alright I think I love you
I said alright, I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright I think I want you
I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright
Oh babe it's alright
Now that you're here
Oh it's an icy wind that's a-blowin'
And you never know just where it's goin'
But it feels so good when you're curled up close to
me
Oh baby alright I think I love you
It's alright you make me love you
I said it's alright I think I need you
It's alright you make me love you...

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Ain't It Strange?
(Lyrics: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette / Music: Bloss-Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)
Ain't it strange that we destroy
What we embrace
And we leave
What we seek
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange that we smile
When we cry
And no one knows why we are here
And where we going to
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange when we pray, we betray anyway
And no one knows what we are for
Why we're so tough
When we're so fragile
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange, still we could fall into a dream
I'd wish no one will catch that fall
For we could fall for love, life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain
For the pain is gone, the shame is washed away
When we're all one, life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world is still drowning in blood and tears
We've been quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eats dog on the ratrace trail
It is getting too much and we're getting nowhere
While hatred and fear is all that we share
I can't take it no more when I'm watching the news
We must stick together or we're bound to lose...
GIPSY KINGS lyrics - Que Si Que No
Adesso la canzon
Che mi cantavan
Y otra vez
Adesso la canzon

Tengo advertido
Mira, mira, mira la canzone
Mira, mira, mira la canzone
Que cantare

Que la palabra la tengo yo
Oy que si que no
Que la palabra la quiero yo
Adesso la canzon
Che mi cantavan
Quando tuve la nonna mia
Quando tuve la nonna mia
Adesso la canzon
Che mi cantavan
Quando tuve la nonna mia
Quando tuve la nonna mia
Te la cantaban
Otra vez
Sin tu querer
Mira, mira, mira la canzone
Mira, mira, mira la canzone
Que cantare
Y otra vez

TOM JONES lyrics - Thunderball
He always runs while others walk.
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world, and wants it all,
So he strikes, like Thunderball.
He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more, so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all.
And he strikes, like Thunderball.
Any woman he wants, he'll get.
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.
So he strikes like Thunderball.
JEFF BECK lyrics - New Ways Train Train
Been around this place for far to long
Some folks think I'm just hanging around
They say I just don't care
I gotta get away from here
But I've been wrong I need some new ways
My friend we don't get along get along no more
Don't need nobody to tell me nothing
Gonna live life the way that I feel
Been as free as a bird that flies
Ain't no difference in day or night
I wanna be lord I wanna be
No one with responsibilty
But I've been wrong I need some new ways
My friend we don't get any more
Don't need nobody to tell me nothing
I'm gonna live life the way I feel
Some say the train is full
My life's been a sucess
But stick around I've been a fool
I gotta make this trip my last
Oooo ooo yeah whoa whoa
Please please please go down the line
Never never never been on time
Take me down to the pit of dispear
Anywhere but away from here
Train train train your doing fine
Whoa whoa whoa
Rollin' down on that dusty train
Hope we found what we have no yet
You will see time goes by
Many have been this way
AL GREEN lyrics - Wait For Me
Darling did you know that I, I dream about you
Waiting for the look in your eyes, when we meet for the first time
Darling did you know that I, I pray about you
praying that you will hold on, and keep your loving eyes only for me
[Chorus:]
'Cause I am waiting for, praying for you darling
Wait for me to, wait for me as I wait for you [2x]
Darling did you know that I dream about life together,
knowing you will be forever I'll be yours and you'll be mine
And darling when I say, "'Til death do us part", I'll mean it with all of my heart,
Now and always faithful to you
[Chorus]
Now I know you may have made mistakes, but there's forgiveness
and a second chance, So wait for me, darling wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
[Chorus]

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - Broadway
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten around here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
You're anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinking you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You see you'd love to run home but you know ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten
And if you're thinking you're a joke do you think that they'll listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Autumn
(R. Maltby, Jr. & D. Shire)
Autumn, it feels like Autumn
Although the breeze is still
I feel the chill of Autumn
Oh, yes, it's Autumn
It's always Autumn
However green the hill
To me it still is Autumn
I can feel the frost now
That makes my Spring and Summer dreams
Seem lost now
Why can't the Autumn haze
Recall the days of warm summer laughter?
That faded soon after in the Autumn
He left in Autumn
And though another season's here
I feel the emptiness of Autumn
All the year...

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Stuff Like That There
"Here she is, direct from the convent, Miss Dixie Leonard."
I was alone on a shelf
in a world by myself.
Oh, where could my Prince Charming be?
But a man came along,
made my life like a song,
and taught me these words of ecstasy,
tenderly.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
and some happy honeymoonin'
and some stuff like that there.
I used to think that love
was just a lot o' rubbish;
a mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
is wholly lovey dovish,
and baby, you, you've done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.
I used to think romance was bunk,
a double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
and baby, you, you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
stuff like that there!
Oooooooooh!

STYX lyrics - Great Expectations
(Dennis DeYoung)
Everybody will be watching
Just to see what can you do
They'll be waiting, anticipating
For the genius to come through
So raise the bar up
A little higher
They expect so much of you
Feel the madness accelerating
Cause you feel the same way too
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Everybody's masturbating
Wondering what you're gonna do
And all the doctors are contemplating
Can the smart ass still pull through
Mister big shot
With all the answers
One more time through the hoop for you
Light a fire
To the whole thing
Feel the flame as you go through
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Did you think that your ambition
Would ever end up in remission
Did ya
Now did ya
Did you think your sacrifices
Would turn your dreams into your vices
Now did ya
How could ya
All the cynics & the ciphers
Make you question what you do
So turn your amp up a little louder
To drown out that void in you
While the mantra keeps repeating
There are dreams you must pursue
If you just try a little harder
There ain't nothing you can't do
Great, Great, Great Expectations
RICKY NELSON lyrics - My Babe
Well, my babe, don't stand no kissin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no kissin', my babe
Well, my baby don't stand no kissin'
'Cept when I'm the one she's kissin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
Oh, my babe I know she love me, my babe
Oh yeah, I know she love me, my babe
Well, my babe I know she love me
She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby, my babe
Woe, babe
Yeah, my baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin', my baby
Well, my baby don't stand no foolin'
When she's around she's so darn coolin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
Hey, baby
Well, my baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin', my baby
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin'
When she's around she's so darn coolin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
Well my babe, true little baby, my babe
Well my babe, true little baby, my babe
DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Running From Paradise
(Words: D. Hall, S. Allen; Music : D. Hall)
I caught you staring at the ceiling
Captured by the mirror up there
OK OK I see the separation
Makin love down here
While you're watching in the air
If you're looking for love
and you don't find it in my eyes
then you're Running from Paradise.
Look before you leap, darling
don't you know that you're
Running from Paradise
I gave you every pose you asked for
Played every game you fantasize
I called your bluff, we're running out of breath
You're hooked on looking - not on what you find

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - She Goes Down
Little Miss Muffet
Sweet girl's school stuff and
A country smile and charm
Out in the back
Of my '58 Chevy
She said she'd do me no harm
You know she makes me feel good
Just like a bad girl should
She goes down
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
Sassy little lassie
Walking right past me
Down in Tennessee
Always a lady
I love Southern ladies
They just know how to please
It's like connecting the dots
Start at the bottom, lick it to the top She goes down
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
All of the day
All of the night
Lick those lips
Do you up right
Up and down
Round and round
Round the world
Scream it out
You know she makes me feel good
C'ya out in Hollywood
Flat on my back she goes down
For backstage pass, she goes down
With all of my friends, she goes down
She gives heart attack, she goes...
She goes down
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down

NIRVANA lyrics - Turnaround
[Originally by Devo]
Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock!
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking!?
It's pretty scary, it's so revolting [x4]
Naaaah!
Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

JEFF BECK lyrics - Why Should I Care
You never care about me when I was lonely
You never care about me when I was sad
You only care about me when I was talented
So why should I care about you now
You never care about me when I was down and out
You never care about me when I was blue
You only care about me when I was on top
So why should I care about you now
You never know the good times from the bad times
You never see the side of in between times
You never care about me when I was down and out
So why should I care about ya
When I was down I done without ya
Why should I care about ya now
So why should I care about ya
When I was down I done without ya
Why should I care about ya now
Oh I'm hanging on out the window
I'm trying to never let me head go
You never care about me when I was down and out
So why
Why should I care about ya
When I was down I done without ya
Why should I care about ya
I was alone I done without ya
Why should I care about ya now
JOHN AND MARY lyrics - Vacant Chair
(G. E. Root/H. Washburn)
[Chorus:]
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant chair
We shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer
When a year ago we gathered
Joy was in his mild blue eye,
But a golden chord is severed
And our hopes in ruin lie.
[Chorus]
At our fireside, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell,
At remembrance of the story
How our noble Willie sell;
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight,
And uphold our country's honor
In the strength of manhood's night.
[Chorus]
True, they tell us wreaths of glory
Ever more will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, Oh early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bed,
Dirges from the pine and cypress,
Mingle with the tears we shed.
[Chorus]

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - La Lune
Sous les nuages de la nuit
Je marche Vers la clairiere
D'un eclat argente je la vois
La lune
Elle porte les voiles de
L'eternite
Son aureole embrasse
Les etoiles, ma lune
[Translation:]
Under the clouds of the night
I walk towards the clearing
I a silvery burst, I see it
The moon
It wears the veils of
Eternity
Its halo embrace
The stars, my moon

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - The Jealous Kind
Don't be angry if I seem rude each time we meet
A boy that you once knew
That you say used to be so close to you
It's just that I'm so afraid
Someone might steal you away
Girl, I'd lose my mind
I can't help myself, the way I feel sometimes
Yeah, I'm the jealous kind
It was alright when I first met you
Girl, I didn't mind
But now things have changed
I'm just not the same and now I find
I want you all to myself
I don't want to share you with nobody else
You must forgive me, for the way I act sometimes
Yes, I'm the jealous kind
Oh baby,
If you only knew how much it hurts to hear you say
How you can't forget
That before we met, those were the good old days
Why must you hurt me so
I can't stand it no more
And girl I'm really tryin'
I can't help myself, the way I act sometimes
I guess, I'm the jealous kind
Oh, baby
Yeah, I'm the jealous kind
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL lyrics - Ooby Dooby
(W. Moore & D. Penner)
Hey Baby, jump over here;
When you do the Ooby Dooby I gotta be there;
CHORUS:

Ooby Dooby Ooby Dooby Ooby Dooby
Ooby doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah.
Well, you wiggle to the left, you wiggle to the right;
You do the Ooby Dooby with all your might;
CHORUS
Well, you wiggle an' you shake like a big rattlesnake;
You do the Ooby Dooby till you think you're gonna break.
CHORUS
I'm movin' and struttin' 'cause now I know
How to do the Ooby Dooby, baby, let's go.

THE KINKS lyrics - Louie Louie
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
A fine girl, who waited for me.
I catch a ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone.
I wondered when I'm gonna make it home.
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Three nights and days I sailed the sea.
I think of the girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.
I smell the rose that's in her hair.
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
I see Jamaican moon above.
See the girl I'm thinking of.
I take her in my arms and then
Say I'll never leave again.
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go.
Oh, I gotta go now.
Uh-huh I gotta go.

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Time, Love And Tenderness
So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view
Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain
[Chorus:]
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever
Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old luck's gonna change
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Once I Loved (O Amor En Paz)
(A. C. Jobim, R. Gilmbel, V. De Moraes)
[Recorded Febrary 1, 1967, Hollywood]
Once, once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye
And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Bleed To Love Her
Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she don't miss me
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
Ooh, bleed to love her
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
And once again she calls to me
Then she vanishes in thin air
And how she takes my breath away (breath away)
Pretending that she's not there
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
Ooh, bleed to love her
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
Somebody's got to see this through
All the world is laughing at you
And somebody's got to sacrifice
If this whole thing's gonna turn out right
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
Ooh, bleed to love her
Ooh, I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Lost In Space
Live with me, live with me
Live with me, live with me
Live with me.
Lost in space
I heard you were lost in space
That's such a lonely place
for you to be.
Out of control
Singin' with too much soul
I heard you got out on parole
Workin' for the queen.
Gardening again
Landscape again
Keepin' all the grounds
around her clean
Workin' for the queen.
Don't take out the magic pen
Don't draw on the infinity board
Your buildings, if they rise again
Would do much better
on the ocean floor
They'll never feel the way
they did before
They did before.
Out on the ocean floor,
out on the ocean floor
What could be stranger
than the unknown danger
That lies on the ocean floor?
Breakers crash on the beach
I count them like lambs in my sleep
They come at me steady
They know I'm not ready
They pound on my mattress door
Have they got a big one in store.
Losing you
I heard I was losing you
That's not the only thing
that I got to lose
I got to lose
The deep sea blues
Look at these blues
The deep sea blues
Live with me, live with me.

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Now He's Gone
(Robbie van Leeuwen)
My heart, my soul, my life was for him,
He was my sunshine.
He was mine, all mine.
Now he's gone and didn't even say goodbye.
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why.
Oh, how we loved to dance, the cruisin' [...]
Well I guess he's gone to Frisco to dance out there.
When I woke up this morning
He was gone, gone, gone.
I met some more friends downtown,
They asked me then,
`Where is your superman?'
I told them one morning I woke up all alone.
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why.
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone,
Now he's gone
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why.
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Love Burns
See what you do
You make me act so crazy
I'm overcome, I know
Stealin' my own show
For your love
And who am I now, Clown or Casanova
I'm never sure with you
And what more can I do
For your love burns
Warmer than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
And where do we go
Find a road to lead us
I'm searching in your eyes
A world beyond the skies
For your love burns
Brighter than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
Love burns
Brighter than you know
Oh, love burns
Never let it go away
Love burns when the spirit is wounded
Cut deep by the sound of rejection
Love burns in the soul of the seeker
Blue shadows in every direction
Love burns when the heart is uncovered
In the rage of the coldly storm
Love burns
Through the night and the morning
Till the frozen heart is warm
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns

PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Two Of A Kind
(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner)
I thought I'd been in love before but so did you
I thought that I would love no more but so did you
We'll always be together forever yours forever mine
You and me you and me are two of a kind
There's so much between you and me like sadness disappointment jealousy
Like respect and honor and admiration and a love so fine
You and me you and me are two of a kind
I've made promises to you that I couldn't keep
And you know I've said things to you that I didn't mean
We've made our vows and we can never break the ties that bind
You and me you and me are two of a kind
There's so much between you and me...
ANITA BAKER lyrics - The Look Of Love
(Lyrics by Hal David, Music by Burt Bacharach)
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than Just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breathe away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Drinking Again
Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure I can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
but who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
at a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking.
And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
with nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, I'm dying to get home,
dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
and just my memory.

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - San Ber'dino
She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago
His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato
She's in love with a boy
From the rodeo
Who pulls the rope on the chute
When they let those suckers go
(Yeah-hey! Suckers!)
He got slobberin' drunk at the Palomino
They give him thirty days in San Ber'dino
Well there's forty-four men
Stashed away in Tank "C"
An' there's only one shower
But it don't apply to Bobby
You may think they're
Dumb an' lonely
But you're wrong
'Cause their love is strong
Stacked-up hair
An' a cheap little ring
They don't care
'Cause it don't mean a thing
Looka there. . .
They don't care
Best-est way that
They can feel-o
Out on the highway
Rollin' a wheel-o
He's her Tootsie
She's for real-o
Trailer park heaven
It's a real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
The rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Down in San Ber'dino
Come on with me
Come on with me
Come on with me
Down in San Ber'dino
Just 60 miles, 60 miles
Down the San Ber'dino freeway
They got some dark green air
An' you can choke all day
That's right!
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Say now,
Ain't talkin' 'bout Fontana
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout the Redlands, no no
ZULCH is the auto works
I'm tellin' you
That's where they take
All the cars that they hurt
Come on and let's all go down to San Ber'dino
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Let's-a go down down down
Down in San Ber'dino
Wouldja b'lieve it
Wouldja b'lieve it now, come on
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
(Got to call it)
San Ber'dino
(C'mere)
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
(Oh, God, they all stay there)
The rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino
Oh Bobby, I'm sorry you gotta head like a potato
I really am
(Ketchup!)
BRIAN MAY lyrics - Earth
(Staffell)
I might be at a table
And suddenly I'll catch
A fleeting vision of her crystal seas
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway
Beneath the sun I've never seen
'Cos I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again
The planet earth
My earth
I might be chasing waves of light
Out towards the grim
Where stars are sparse
And the cold of space seeps in
But I might be in a barroom
Drinking menthylated gin
And thinking of places I have been
Yes I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth
My earth
Cast adrift amongst the stars
I float from sun to sun
Dreaming of the world that gave me birth
All the places I have been
Remind me there is none to match the green living hills of earth.
THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Sweet Maxine
(Patrick Simmons/Tom Johnston)
She can capture your heart, when they start the music playin'
Sparkle in her eyes, you better be wise or you will end up losin' your mind
I said baby, pretty baby, got to get my hands on you
Somethin's got a hold on
Somethin's got a hold on me
Somethin's got a hold on
Somethin's got a hold on me
She was born with it in her soul
Lord she knows how to rock and roll
She was born with it in her soul
Lord she knows how to rock and roll
She's the answer to a poor boy's dream
Never seen such a sweet young thing
She's a teaser, love to squeeze her
An actress from a fantasy scene
I said baby, pretty baby
Open your eyes to the truth
Somethin's got a hold on
Somethin's got a hold on me
Somethin's got a hold on
Somethin's got a hold on me
She's got the power, power in her soul
She's got the power, power, rock and roll

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Way You Look Tonight
(J. Kern, D. Fields)
[Recorded January 27, 1964, Los Angeles]
Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely... Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
[instrumental]
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely... Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'cause I love you
a-just the way you look tonight
Mm, Mm Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look tonight
JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - Come Up The Years
(Marty Balin/Paul Kantner)
I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me
A younger girl keeps hangin' around
One of the loveliest I've ever found
Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart
I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me
The things she's doin' keep turnin' me on
And I've been happy to go right along
I know it's time that I said good-bye
I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try
I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me.......
BESSIE SMITH lyrics - Downhearted Blues
(Lovie Austin / Alberta Hunter)
Gee, but it's hard to love someone when that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, too
I've got those down hearted blues
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get he's got to promise to be mine, all mine
If I could only find the man oh how happy I would be
To the good Lord ev'ry night I pray
Please send my man back to me
I've almost worried myself to death wond'ring why he went away
But just wait and see he's gonna want me back some sweet day
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave
Got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
Got the world in a jug
The stopper's in my hand
Going to hold it, baby, till you come under my command
Say, I ain't never loved but three men in my life
No, I ain't never loved but three men in my life
'T'was my father, brother and the man who wrecked my life
'Cause he mistreated me and he drove me from his door
Yeah, he mistreated me and he drove me from his door
But the good book says you'll reap just what you sow
Oh, it may be a week and it may be a month or two
Yes, it may be a week and it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me honey, it's coming home to you
Oh, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried
Yes, I walked the floor and I wrung my hands and cried
Had the down hearted blues and couldn't be satisfied

ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - Sludge Factory
You insult me in my home, you're forgiven this time
Things go well, your eyes dilate, you shake, and I'm high?
Look in my eyes deep and watch the clouds change with time
20 hours won't print my picture milk carton size
Carton size, carton size
Call me up congratulations ain't the real why
There's no pressure besides brilliance let's say by day 9
Endless corporate ignorance lets me control time
By the way, by the way, by the way
Once again you see an in, discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle, out a date for me
Now the body of one soul I adore wants to die
You have always told me you'd not live past 25
I say stay long enough to repay all who cause strife
Once again you see an in, discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle, out a date for me [2x]
"I bear true and an existing witness
To this barrel of monkeys.
A self proclaimed immoral success,
Perfected by each whereof
Individually deadly and equally so
And spread about the surrendered troops,
For even thousands of miles will not
Tear apart their communication, or the lack thereof.
Vultures, liars, thieves, each proclaim their innocence
In no suggestion or rhyme, your weapon is contained in
The wrecking of the keeping the desired effect.
The breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being.
Your weapon is guilt, your weapon is guilt, your weapon is guilt.
Guilt."
RICKY NELSON lyrics - My Old Flame
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
'Cause I haven't met a girl
So magnificent or elegant
As my old flame
I've met so many who had fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the sky's
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame
A-HA lyrics - Don't Do Me Any Favours
(Magne Furuholmen)
You offer your assistance
But you won't accept my help
You draw your own conclusions
And there's room for little else
Your own participation's
Based on how much you can lose
I cannot help but feel
That this won't be of any use
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't wanna play that game
I do not want to see myself
As someone that you saved
I'd rather be your adversary
Than to be your slave
Cuz every friendly gesture
Turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favors
I am better off without
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes its alright
Yes its alright
Yes it's alright
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Coz it's alright
Yes, it's alright etc
Ooh-don't give me any credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to see your face
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
THE KINKS lyrics - Artificial Man
[Scene:] After his capture, Flash is taken to a secret hideout to have
His brain cleansed, and his mind conditioned.
Flash, Mr. Black and the Mad Scientist sing:
[Flash:] I can't believe it's happening
I just want to stay the way that I am.
I don't want to live a lie in an artificial world.
[Mr. Black:] Let's build an antiseptic world,
Full of artificial people.
Cure all diseases, conquer pain
And monitor the human brain,
And see what thoughts you're thinking.
Observe your feelings,
Secret fears,
Controlling everything you say and do
And we will build a master race
To live within our artificial world.
Tell it to the people all across the land,
We're going to build an artificial man
With the physique of a Tarzan
And the profile of a Cary Grant,
A superior being
Totally made by hand.
Throw out imperfection,
Mould you section by section,
Gonna make you the ultimate creation.
[Flash:] I can visualise the day
When the world will be controlled by artificial people,
But I don't want to live a lie in an artificial world.
[Mr. Black:] Tell the world that we finally did it,
Made a man that's totally programmed,
Preconditioned thoughts and emotions,
Push-button artificial man.
Did you ever want to live forever?
Well here's your chance to be a total automaton
'Cos we've improved on God's creation
An outdated homo sapien.
Make you taller if you want it
Make your hair grow longer if you need it.
If it doesn't exist then I guess we can breed it.
There'll be no disagreements,
We'll dedicate our lives to achievements,
And organise your life and keep it totally planned.
[Flash:] I can visualise the day
When the world will be controlled by artificial people,
But I don't want to live a lie in an artificial world.
[Mr Black] Tell the world we finally did it.
[& Mad] Modified the population,
[Scientist:] Put your senses and your mind
Under constant observation
Even when you're dreaming.
Replaced your nose, heart and lungs,
So shake me with your artificial hand.
We went and built a master race
To live within our artificial world.
DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Have A Little Sympathy
Have a little sympathy
Won't you hurry home to me
Baby baby baby please come back
Put my little dream train back on the track
I haven't seen a sunny day
Since the day that you went away
Tears I cried for you would fill the deep blue sea
Have a little sympathy for me
Have a little sympathy
Have a little sympathy
Won't you hurry on home to me
Baby baby baby please come back
Put my little dream train back on the track
Well I haven't seen a sunny day
Since the day that you went away
Tears I cried for you would fill the deep blue sea
Have a little sympathy for me
Baby won't you hurry home
Dino's waiting all alone
Have a little sympathy
PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Soily
People gathered here tonight,
I want you to listen to me!
To your left and to you right,
You've got some pretty soily company.
Reader, writer, farmer, priest,
Breed controler, born deceased.
Indian, lawyer, doctor, dog,
And a plumber with a fattened hog.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily,
you know he's right.
Romans, Italians, country men,
I want you to listen to me!
I've said it twice and I'll say it again,
We've got some pretty soily company.
Liar, cheater, jungle chief,
Saint, believer on relief.
Action painter, Hitler's son,
And a commie with a tommy gun.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
THIN LIZZY lyrics - Old Moon Madness
Late, sometime before midnight
He comes creeping up
And before you get him sussed
He's gone before dusk
And when you arise
Red ruby rings circle your eyes
If it's later than you realized
Check with the stars and the skies
Old moon madness has struck again
A howl in the dark light
A flash of teeth bright white
A scream and a bite
Old moon madness has struck again tonight
But there's no need to worry
For the crimes that you've done
Worse has been committed
With no moon madness to blame it on
Old moon madness has struck again
In fact you could say you're lucky
You and me
Mother earth has only one moon
And not three
ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Summer In Berlin
(Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Lloyd-Mertens)
This days an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the 17th of june
Open your eyes and let the sun break in for a while
There may be something that you've never seen inside
Feel how your heart beats like a
Heavy machine
The sound of the traffic is like a
Silent dream
The dust in the park, the exhaust from the cars
Ascends in that heated afternoon
You touch a sweaty body
Summer in berlin, it's alright
The day feel so tired from the led in the air and the fire in the sky
Life seemed to be a fault of grace but it's okay
It gave you a kiss in the middle of the crossroads
Summer in berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun which is stored in the pavement feels so fine
Here stands the innocent and there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing for a summer by the wall
Summer in berlin, it's okay

NAZARETH lyrics - Dear John
You came 'round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you don't love me no more
Bridge: i want you by my side cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that i meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you i would not be complete
Bridge
Why did you write me in a letter
A word from you would be much better
Lead
Bridge
Don't cast me aside
Without you i could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive
Bridge
BOSTON lyrics - We Can Make It
(Sikes-Cedro-Scholz)
I would do anything, anything a man can do
You're my strength and weakness
I give it all for you
I would climb any mountain
How can I make you see?
Though the stars may fall, it will always be you and me
The light in your eyes is all the hope I need
There's so much you can give
Your smile is my reason to live
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it
(Hey) It's you and me. The world will see
I know that we can make it, you and me
I see you, full of sadness
Wondering 'bout this world we've made
There's a space between us all
Love has seen some better days
Oh we can make it
Oh we can make it
The love in your eyes is all I need to know
I'm never letting go
I'm here for you heart and soul
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it
(Hey) It's you and me, the world will see
I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it (Hey, yeah)
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it
(Hey) It's you and me. The world will see
I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it
You and me

YES lyrics - I Would Have Waited Forever
(Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Jonathan Elias)
I would have waited forever - For you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - I would have given you everything I
had
I would have waited forever - There's no question, no question at
all
So true in the prize, would you wait for me?
All because you got burned, so you took what you needed.
Some will always turn away, say it's reason enough;
It's another game of exploration.
Something calls at reverse and it comes to you;
Experience everything as it comes true.
So - It will be then
Change - It will happen
See - That we feel it
All - Is completed.
Don't you want the world to stop short of giving?
Anytime of night or day, the magic things you love.
Everybody hurts when you shout, when you walk away;
Talk about it according to you.
I would have waited forever - For you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - To give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - There's no question about it at all
So inbetween the perfect flame of you, this love will never let you
down.
Just take it as it comes, for everything will come around.
You put your hand up: stop the flow of where you're going to;
It's another game called exploration.
How we imagine everything that we think we're going through;
It's another reason to make the break.
Everyone will move with you now to the riverside;
Experience everything, but go with the landslide.
I would have waited forever - For you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - To give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - No question in my body and soul
Forever...
BEACH BOYS lyrics - Endless Harmony
(Bruce Johnston)
Ocean lovers who like to harmonize
They're all cousins friends and brothers
And they make their Mamas cry
They're record-making heart-breaking
Just West Coast boys
What I know it's a beginning of an endless harmony
Oooo ooo ooooo
Striped shirt freedom
Brave new worlds
Go out on the road
Where there's mid-sixties screaming
And that nighttime holiday scheming
While a lifestyle turns to gold
Music's growing
And vibrations showing
What's it all mean
I know it means there's an endless harmony
And we sang God bless America
It's a land where we tour
She takes great care of us
And people love for where we sing
We sing doot doo doot, doot doo doot, doot doo doo doo
PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Burn You Up, Burn You Down
Straight as an arrow
Carry your intentions to the wind
Dogs all around you
But you cannot get the message to your friend
At every rendezvous you keep on walking around (left)
Nighttime in the city and the rain keeps falling down
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Ill wind blows the road to go
How many times we've told you so
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
No rhyme or reason
No way to make it easy 'til it's done
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
So you cross onto the other side of the street
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
Should know better but you keep turning up the heat
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Oh-oh-ai-ai
(hey hey hey hey)
Let me feel this
(hey hey hey hey)
Hey-ey Hey Hey
(hey hey hey hey)
Make me feel it
(hey hey hey hey)
When they lose you, it can bruise you
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
Break me open, I need someone to see me
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
Make me feel it, make me feel
In the city and the rain is falling down
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)
You can make it happen with your eyes, with your eyes alone
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Break me open
(Let me tell you how it all works out)
(Never thought we had so much time to lose)
Make me feel it
(Just learning how to twist and shout)
(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)
Break me open
(Let me tell you how it all works out)
(Never thought we had so much time to lose)
Make me feel it
(You make me feel it)
(Just learning how to twist and shout)
(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)
You can make me feel it
You can make me, you can make me, you can make me feel it
You can make me feel it
You can make me feel it
You can make me feel it...
JOHN PRINE lyrics - I Had A Dream
I had a dream last night
Last night I had a dream
Everything was black and white
And it smelled like gasoline
We stood in the corner
And I held you tight
I kissed your mouth
Till my head got light
Last night when I had a dream
I had a dream last night
Last night I had a dream
Birds were flying left and right
Thru the light of a movie screen
Everyone was looking
For something to do
I even thought
I had a chance with you
Last night when I had a dream
THE MONKEES lyrics - I Wanna Be Free
(Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart)
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh
I wanna hold yur hand,
Walk along the sadn
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

GREEN DAY lyrics - Take Bake
You pushed me once too far again
I'd like to break you fucking teeth.
Stick a knife in the center of your back.
You better grow some eyes in the back of your head.
I fight dirty, just like your looks.
Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore.
Take back, Take back, Take.
The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue.
An eye for an eye.
Gun for a gun.
Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine.
Expect it when you're least expecting it.
No loss of love, the smell of regret.
Lights out
Can't take anymore
Shit
WHITE ZOMBIE lyrics - Murderworld
Summer of love
What a waste now
Earth magic strikes out
A million dollar monster mind
In search of the devil's garden
Make them die
Make them die
Make them die
Make them die
In this land there's no return
Everybody licensed to thrill
A killer alien selling point
Invasion can be fun
Martian war death machine
Turns into a jungle hell
Hang 'em up in the trees
See how hard love bites
Make them die
Make them die
Make them die
Make them die
Shot down
Watch the skies
U. F.O. suicide
I say believe in me
Trip on mars
And get free
Interpretation
Wiped away
No more to say
Time unleashes death
Mid-air plague
Brain damaged rage
Come and get me
Death star reaches
Out to crush you
Idealistic super-hero
Hell squad kingdom
Gets to jammin'
Somewhere in time
Rock the house down
This is murderworld buddy
Not just another traffic jam
No credit card gonna get you home
Jewels in the night don't
Shine no more
This murderworld brother
Nobody loves you anymore
Out of sight and out of mind
What is it what it is
This is murderworld sister
A deep throating little baby-face
Horror of the body is alright
Come on baby and get it on
TOM WAITS lyrics - Putnam County
I guess things were always quiet around Putnam County
kind of shy and sleepy as it clung to the skirts
of the 2-lane, that was stretched out like an
asphalt dance floor where all the oldtimers would
hunker down in bib jeans and store bought boots
lyin' about their lives and the places that they'd been
suckin' on Coca Colas and be spittin' Days Work
they's be suckin' on Coca Colas and be spittin' Day's Work
until the moon was a stray dog on the ridge and
the taverns would be swollen until the naked eye
of 2am, and the Stratocaster guitars slung over
Burgermeister beer guts, and the swizzle stick legs
jacknifed over naugahyde stools and the
witch hazel spread out over the linoleum floors,
the pedal pushers stretched out over midriff bulge
and the coiffed brunette curls over Maybelline eyes
wearing Prince Machiavelli, Estee Lauder, smells so sweet
I elbowed up at the counter with mixed feelings
over mixed drinks
and Bubba and the Roadmasters moaned in pool hall
concentration as they knit their brows to
cover the entire Hank Williams Song Book
and the old National register was singing to the tune of $57.57
until last call, one last game of 8 ball
and Berneice would be putting the chairs on the tables,
someone come in say "Hey man, anyone got
any Jumper Cables, is that a 6 or a 12 volt?"
and all the studs in town would toss 'em down
and claim to fame as they stomped their feet
boasting about being able to get more ass
than a toilet seat.
And the GMCs and the Straight 8 Fords
were coughing and wheezing and they
perculated as they tossed the gravel
underneath the fenders to weave home
a wet slick anaconda of a two lane
with tire irons and crowbars a rattlin'
with a tool box and a pony saddle
you're grinding gears, shifting into first
yea and that goddam tranny's just getting worse
with the melodies of "see ya later"
and screwdrivers on carburettors
talkin' shop about money to loan
and palominos and strawberry roans
See ya tomorrow, hello to the Mrs.
money to borrow and goodnight kisses
the radio spittin' out Charlie Rich
sure can sing that sonofabitch
and you weave home, weavin' home
leaving the little joint winking in the
dark warm narcotic American night
beneath a pin cushion sky and it's
home to toast and honey, start
up the Ford, your lunch money's there on the
draining board, toilet's runnin' shake the
handle, telephone's ringin' it's Mrs Randal
where the hell are my goddam sandals
and the porcelain poodles and the glass swans
staring down from the knick knack shelf
with the parent permission slips for the kids' field trips
pair of Muckalucks scraping across
the shag carpet
and the impending squint of
first light, that lurked behind
a weeping marquee in downtown Putnam
and would be pullin' up any minute now
just like a bastard amber
Velveeta yellow cab on a rainy corner
and be blowin' its horn, in every window
in town.
