QUEEN lyrics - I Go Crazy
(May)
I took my baby to see a heavy band
But I never saw my baby 'till the encore
She had the singer by the hand
I didn't wanna cry 'cause I had to be cool
I didn't wanna tell you that you're too cruel
Did you have to run off with that dog-gone fool?
All I gotta do is think about you
Ev'ry night and day I go crazy
All I gotta do is get my hands on you
You better stay away from me baby
I wouldn't mind the postman if the neighbours didn't know
Or the gas man the electric man - man to fix the car
I'd have to let it go
But you had to bring me down for a rock 'n roll clone
Leave me like a sucker standing all alone
Did you have to run off with that rolling stone?
All I gotta do is think about you
Ev'ry night and day I go crazy
All I gotta do is get my hands on you
You better stay away from me baby
So I ain't gonna go and see the Rolling Stones no more
no more
I don't wanna go see Queen no more no more
Now I don't wanna hurt you like you been a-hurting me
But you know that I'll be watching
Rolling on the floor next time you're on TV
Had enough of your pretending that you know where it's at
Coming on to all the boys like a real spoilt brat
To think that I nearly let you get away with all that
No way man
All I gotta do is think about you
Ev'ry night and day I go crazy
All I gotta do is get my hands on you
THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP lyrics - Midnight Special
(trad. arr. Spencer Davis)
Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board
Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go
Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me
The Midnight Special to Santa Fe
If you ever go to Houston, oh you better walk right
Well you better not stagger and you better not fight
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
You can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound
Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding dong ring
Go walkin' to the table, see the same damn (thing)
Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me
The Midnight Special to Santa Fe
When you wake up in the morning, hear the rooster crow
Don't wanna work but I got to go
Don't wanna leave my baby, leave her all alone
'Cause when I get back, she may be gone
Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board
Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go
Let the Midnight Special shine its light on me
The Midnight Special to Santa Fe
LOS LOBOS lyrics - Corrido De Dolores Huerta #39
(Carmen Moreno)
En Dawson, Nuevo Mexico
El diez de abril
Nacio Dolores Huerta
Nadie se lo imaginaba
Que ella iria encabezar
Parte del gran movimiento
En Stockton, California
Donde ella se crio
Empezo a ver la injusticia
Que el campesino ha sufrido
Sin la representacion
Que una union le daria
Me acuerdo que alla en Delano
El sesenta y dos
Se asocio con Cesar Chavez
Y entre el y la Dolores
Formularon una union
Que llego a cambiar les leyes
Su sentir de mujer
Dirigio por buen camino
Del mejor por venir
Al humilde campesino
Su sentir de mujer
Le presto a la union la fuerza
Te has ganado la flor
De la paz, Dolores Huerta
Despues que organizaron
La gente en la union
Imponieron una huelga
Para hablar de los contratos
Tambien para nagociar
Apuntaron a la Huerta
Cesar Chavez les decia
"Vamos a ganar
Esta huelga sin violencia
La revolucion social
Hay que ganarla con la paz
Derramar sangre no es ciencia"
Y un dia en Arizona
La gente decia
"Ay Dolores, no se puede!"
La Dolores les contesta
"Esto sera nuestro grito
Si se puede! Si se puede!"
Su sentir de mujer
Dirigio por buen camino
Del mejor por venir
Al humilde campesino
Su sentir de mujer
Le presto a la union la fuerza
Te has ganado la flor
De la paz, Dolores Huerta

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Shipbuilding
Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said 'DAD THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ME TO TASK
BUT I'LL BE BACK BY CHRISTMAS'
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
WITH ALL THE WILL IN THE WORLD
DIVING FOR DEAR LIFE
WHEN WE COULD BE DIVING FOR PEARLS
J. J. CALE lyrics - Old Friend
How you been?
It would be so nice to see you, my old friend
What's been going on?
Are you still singing that same old song?
Has your days been treating you well?
Are the nights still cold as hell?
It would be so nice to hear from you again
My old friend
I hear all the old folks are gone, I guess we're the ones now
That's the way it goes, those crowded days are behind us now
May your backside catch the wind
May you have many more days to spend
I could see you again,
my old friend
We always knew those days would forever last
And all those friends we had would never pass
But they did and the numbers grow small
For a time we had it all
Like to see you again sometime
I'll try to call, my old friend
May your backside catch the wind
May you have many more days to spend
I could see you again,
my old friend

BILLY IDOL lyrics - Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
J. J. CALE lyrics - Wish I Had Not Said That
(J. J. Cale)
You don't come here too often
You make my day when you come around
You know I love you something awful
You're a diamond I have found
Wish I had not said that, baby
If I could only close you out of my mind
Sunset passes oh so sweetly
Gives a man just time to think
Frees the image of your body
Fantasy is just a blink
Wish I had not said that, baby
If I could only close you out of my mind
It don't matter what you're into
If I could taste you once again
Feel the pain and the pleasure
We could make it to the end
Wish I had not said that, baby
If I could only close you out of my mind

NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Looking For A Kiss
I always seen you, just before the dawn
When all the other kids, where just draggin along
I couldn't believe the way it seemed to be
Rememberin the things, you used to say to me
(About...)
You know I can't be wastin time
Cus gotta get my fun
I got to keep on movin
Cant stop til it's all done
Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this
I feels bad....
And I'm lookin for a kiss
Why wontcha tell me, why those kids are moving so slow
Is it just because they dont have no place to go
When the day starts breakin, the sun is gonna shine
It's hard to sleep, when I been cryin
(And...)
All you ladies are on
Yor way to church (I'm beggin)
Will I just be a' roamin
Lookin for the thing that I search
Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this
I feels bad....
And I'm lookin for a kiss
Well I been lookin for a real hot kiss...
You think it's bad, but you know that its true
So why don't let me live baby
When I'm lookin for a kiss
When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room
Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom
I aint gonna be here, when they all get home
They're always lookin at me, they wont leave me alone
I didnt come here, lookin for no fix (I know...)
I been houndin the street all night late baby
Justa lookin for a kiss
I been fixin a kiss
I didnt come here, lookin for no fix (I know...)
I been haulin booty, all night long
Just lookin for a kiss
MOTORHEAD lyrics - I'm Your Witch Doctor
(J. Mayall)
I'm your witch doctor, got an evil eye
I'm your witch doctor, set souls on your fire
Gonna bring you love, in the midnight hour
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower
I'm singing....
Your witch doctor, your witch doctor
Got my eyes on you
I need a voodoo and that's at night
I'll be your voodoo in the morning light
Gonna bring you love, in the midnight hour
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower
I'm singing....
Your witch doctor, your witch doctor
Got my eyes on you
Your witch doctor, your witch doctor
Got my eyes on you
I got my mean old spell on you
I got my mean old spell on you
Your witch doctor, your witch doctor
Got my eyes on you
I'm your witch doctor, got an evil eye
I'm your witch doctor, set souls on your fire
Gonna bring you love, in the midnight hour
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower
I'm singing....
Your witch doctor, your witch doctor
Got my eyes on you
ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?
(Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock)
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you.
[Chorus:]
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
I've never been the same since I met you.
Like a bird on the wing,
I've got a brand new song to sing,
I can't keep from singing about you.
[Chorus]
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.
Stop running away;
I've got a better game to play,
You know I can't go on living without you.
[Chorus]

EUROPE lyrics - Tower's Callin'
(Joey Tempest)
All set ready to go, but little does he know
He ain't comin' back no more
All set ready to fly, into that deep blue sky
Like so many times before
Now the tower's callin', there's no reply
And there's nothin' they can do
Now the night is fallin' before their eyes
Still no one's comin' through, callin'
Somewhere out in time, God knows what's on his mind
Is there a reason for his doubt
Somehow unaware just like he didn't care
There must be ways of gettin' out
Now the tower's callin', there's no reply...
THE SMITHS lyrics - A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours
HELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
But I missed my bed
So I soon came home
They said:
"there's too much caffeine
In your blood stream
And a lack of real spice
In your life"
I said:
"leave me alone because I'm alright, dad
Just surprised to still be on my own...."
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need, and leave
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So why can't it be now?
And people who are weaker than you and I
They take what they want from life
Ooh, but don't mention love
No - just don't mention love!
A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone
But you're still a yound man
So phone me, phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Saigon Bride
(J. Baez, N. Duschek)
Farewell my wistful Saigon bride
I'm going out to stem the tide
A tide that never saw the seas
It flows through jungles, round the trees
Some say it's yellow, some say red
It will not matter when we're dead
How many dead men will it take
To build a dike that will not break?
How many children must we kill
Before we make the waves stand still?
Though miracles come high today
We have the wherewithal to pay
It takes them off the streets you know
To places they would never go alone
It gives them useful trades
The lucky boys are even paid
Men die to build their Pharoah's tombs
And still and still the teeming wombs
How many men to conquer Mars
How many dead to reach the stars?
Farewell my wistful Saigon bride
I'm going out to stem the tide
A tide that never saw the seas
It flows through jungles, round the trees
Some say it's yellow, some say red
It will not matter when we're dead

ASIA lyrics - One Step Closer
(Wetton/Howe)
Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be
[Chorus:]
One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Closer than before
So many lines, you've heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand
Your personality
And though we never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will disolve you
Into me
[Chorus x3]

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Totally Cool
Hey there with that look on your face
Look into these eyes
You got so much to be thankful for in your life
Just a dream away is reality
Keep it close tonight
Make it real deep
Feel the lovebeat
Whisperin' inside
It's totally cool.
You're nobody's fool
Break all the rules
It's totally cool, totally cool
Hey now with the light in your eyes
Lookin' into space
Let the world sleep
Hear the small feet patterin' inside
Every daybreak brings a new start
With each mornin' star
As. the night fades
An' it all wakes
I know I can't deny
It's totally cool, tonight
You're nobody's fool, it feels so right
Break all the rules, c'mon let's try
It's totally cool, totally cool
There's nothing to say
Nowhere to go
Nothin' to do but know we're alive
No reasons to give
No feelin's to hide
Come and surround me
Let's step out of line
It's totally cool, right here tonight
You're nobody's fool, it feels so fine
Break all the rules, c'mon let's try
It's totally cool, totally cool
Totally cool.
You're nobody's fool
Break all the rules
It's totally cool, totally cool
LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Money Man
(E. King, J. Van Zant)
This song goes out to all the money men
He drives around in a fancy car
Smokes those long cuban cigars
He don't know how to play guitar
He can't sing but still the pretty girls think he's a star
We play music got families to feed
Ain't good with numbers and he knows we can't read
If we get a dollar you know he gets three
It ain't hard to figure out it's as simple as can be
Don't ask me ask the money man
These boys are livin' in a fantasy land
I just keep 'em on the road so they can pay the money man
I'll be long gone before they understand
My promises are strong like a road made out of sand
I wanna be your money man
My mortgage is picked up by the band
I wanna be your money man
The boys, oh they're sleepin' out in the van
Don't ask me ask the money man
You boys are livin' in fantasy land
You signed the dotted line I'm takin' all I can
Your money's lookin' good in my retirement plan
That's just the way it is when your playin' in a band
That's my money man down on his knees
He ain't prayin' but he damn sure ought to be
He's at a place where money doesn't grow on trees
And all his prison buddies doin' more than shoot the breeze
How does it feel no money man
Not too good
What did you do with my money man
Well I a... Well a you know a...
How does it feel to be a honey man
Are you sure that your still a man
Aw your dressed up like a little girl
Just shootin' the breeze down on your knees
Money man, oh money man

AMY GRANT lyrics - Softly And Tenderly
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

I'm goin down to the river and drown myself, well

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Money
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and your O. K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away
"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher
(Carl Smith/Gary Jackson)
Your love has lifted me your love has lifted me higher higher and higher
Your love keeps liftin' me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love has lifted me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love has lifted me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love lifted me higher than I've never been lifted before
So keep it up feel my desires and I'd be at your side for ever more
Your love keeps liftin' me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love keeps liftin' me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
I'm so glad so glad I found you I'm so proud that I am your girl
So you keep on holdin' my hand I'd be proud to say to the world
Your love has lifted me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love keeps liftin' me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
I was hurt and down hearted disappointment was my closest friend
And then you came hurt somebody it ain't never gonna show its face again
No no your love has lifted me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher
Your love keeps liftin' me keeps right on liftin' me higher higher and higher

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Winter Wonderland
(Bernard - Smith)
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
beautiful sight we are happy tonight
Walking in the winter wonderland
Gone a way
It's the blue bird, he'll stay
It's the new bird, he sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he passing round
He'll say are you married
We'll say "No man"
But you can do the job while you are in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll play on a frame the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he passing round
He'll say are you married
We'll say "No man"
But you can do the job while you are in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll play on a frame the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Lady Of The Night
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Chilled to the bone I see a lady
Stalkin' like a black cat in the night
Shivers down my spine my mind's racin'
Wonderin' why the lady's taken flight
[Chorus:]
Ooh ooh lady of the night
Ooh ooh lady of the night
Can't be a dream, reality's no liar
It's not my imagination running wild
But to suddenly appear when I'm no high flyer
It's got me so confused but tantalized
Don't be confused if you don't know what I'm saying
I'm lettin' you in to what's happenin' my friend
One of these nights she's gonna get you
You'll experience just what I'm goin' through, yeah
[Chorus]
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Song Of The Sabia
(A. C. Jobin, N. Gimbel, C. Baurque)
[Recorded Febrary 13, 1969, Hollywod]
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, that my place is there,
And there it will always be, there where I can hear the Song of the Sabia.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, I will lie in the shadow of
A palm that's no longer there, and pick a flower that doesn't grow.
And maybe someone's love will speak the night.
The lonely unwanted light that may bring me through the new day.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, they won't be in vain,
All the plans I made to deceive myself, all the rose I made just to lose myself,
All the love I made to forget myself, those mistakes I made just to find myself.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, that my place is there,
And there it will always be, there where I can hear the Song of the Sabia.
Of the Sabia.
MARILLION lyrics - Man Of A Thousand Faces
(Helmer/Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)
I'm the man of a thousand faces
A little piece of me in every part I take
I hold the tape for a thousand races
A different point of view in every speech I make
Cut me a piece of my divided soul
Cry me a river, call it rock and roll
Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie
Pass me a microphone
I need to testify
Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
I'm the man of a thousand ages
You see my face in the stones of the Parthenon
You hear my song in the babble of Babylon
I'm the man of a thousand riches
Be my guest at the feast of Satyricon
You spend the money that my logo's printed on
Well I'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon
I took a leap and I landed on the moon
Look at my life and it looks like CNN
You see something once
You know it's gonna come around again
Well I'll speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to a woman with the fatal charm of a snake
Forgive like a giver and account for all I take
Yes, I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak like a leader with the voice of power and command
And when I talk to God I know he'll understand
Cause I'm the man of a thousand faces
Yes I'm the man of a thousand faces
I stole a fire but it burned up too much too soon
I took a leap and I landed on the moon
Voice of command
Voice of a snake
Voice of humanity
Voice of insanity
Voice of obedience
Thousand faces
Thousand races
Cry me a river
Steal a fire
Face in the stars
Stones in the Parthenon
Babble of Babylon
Landed on the moon

ROSANNE CASH lyrics - I Don't Have To Crawl
(Rodney Crowell)
You look at me
As if you don`t know me
You talk to me
Like you`ve never met me
Well, I could leave you alone if I tried
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to I could be long gone
I don`t have to play nobody`s fool
And I won`t make no exception of you
I don`t have to crawl
I can just walk away
You call on me
As if I should run to you
You make a move as if I should follow you
Well I don`t have to get down on my knees
I will not be a peasant to please you
I don`t have to crawl
I can just walk away
I don`t have to crawl
I don`t have to crawl
CARPENTERS lyrics - Sandy
Looking at you
I'm almost home again
Something in you
Puts me at ease
Yes, I know that you're
Suspicious of me
Do I mean the things I say?
You know I've been in love before
That much is true
But though I've been in love before
It wasn't with you
Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away
Being with you
I'm like a child again
Your eyes can see
Clearer than mine
No one ever made me quite so aware
No one ever took the time
The time it took surprises me
Nothing's the same
As if my life began again
Hearing your name
Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away
BRENDA LEE lyrics - I Can See Clearly Now
(Nash)
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone all the dark clouds that made me so blue
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
I think I can make it now my pain is gone
All of the sad feelings have disappeared
Here is my rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
Look all around there's nothin' but blue skies
Looks straight ahead nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see it, I can
I can see all obstacles in my way yeah
Gone all the dark clouds that made me so blue
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Why Not?
John: Then we can sell them ladders, 'cause they're gonna have to have ladders to get into the piano, right?
Spider: Yeah, when it starts growing
John: Right. . . we set 'em down and, like, we turn the lights down and turn on the red ones
Monica: What're you gonna do, stoop to strobe lights or. . . ?
Spider: Ah, no, no
HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - We're Not Here For A Long Time
(Johnny Colla/Chris Hayes/Huey Lewis)
There's a party down on the corner, do you want to go?
They got rhythm, a little blues, and a whole lot of soul
I don't care what you've got to say
You're comin' with me anyway
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
I know it's hard makin' a living every day
And I know how hard you've been workin'
But now it's time to play
Tell that wolf waitin' at your door
He'll just have to wait some more
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
It might just come to pass
Ain't no use in pretending
Tonight could be the last
Tell the mailman to hold the mail
Get ready to wag your tail
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
Who knows if it's true?
Ain't no use in pretending
There's not much we can do
Leave a message for those who call
We're out havin' us a ball
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
BILLY JOEL lyrics - Sometimes A Fantasy
I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance
But I really needed stimulation
Though it was only my imagination
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
When am I gonna take control get a hold of my emotions
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance
I don't want to deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
Sure it would be better if I had you here to hold me
Be better baby but believe me it's the next best thing
I'm sure there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that move me
Anytime you want to tell them to me
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
THE SMITHS lyrics - William, It Was Really Nothing
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
this town has dragged you down
oh the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
this town has dragged you down
And everybody's got to live their life
and God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine
William, William it was really nothing
William, William it was really nothing
it was your life
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say:
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
she doesn't care about anything
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
I don't dream about anyone
except myself
William, William it was really nothing
William, William
NAZARETH lyrics - Can't Shake Those Shakes
Blind in my one good eye
My mind just won't reply
Somethin' from way down south
Kinda formin' a dust in my mouth
Lookin' for a place to hide
Lookin' for a space to die
Rattlin' like an old tin can
I'm cruisin' like a laundry van
hot 'n' cold fever down to my knees
Wearin' out all of my rosary beads
Can't shake those shakes
Can' t shake those shakes no more
Can't shake those shakes
Feels like I'm dyin' when I'm already dead
Date with my medicine man
He got the remedies I understand
Gotta find the price to pay
Gonna send me on my way
Gotta desperate need, gotta feed the fire
I got a chemical love and a burned out desire
Can't shake those shakes
Can't shake those shakes no more
Can't shake those shakes, eels like i'm dyin'
When I'm already dead, I'm dead.
Don't care for sentiment, don't even pay my rent
Got enough bad habits to blame
Got enough of them to keep me sane
Losin' altitude in this neighborhood
Can't break the fall, though iI know that I should
Can't shake those shakes

MADONNA lyrics - If You Go Away
If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the nights were long
When the moon stood still
For the night bird's song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
I'd have been in the shadow
Of your dog
If I thought it might
Keep me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
Please don't go away
PATTI LABELLE lyrics - You Are My Friend
You are my friend,
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand,
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my face
You're my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love,
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carryon
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time.
Da, da, da
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time

GREG BROWN lyrics - Down In The Valley
(Traditional)
Down in the valley, valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
Angels in heaven know I love you
Know I love you, dear, know I love you
Angels in heaven, know I love you.
Writing this letter, containing three lines
Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"
"Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine?"
Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"
Down in the valley, valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
GARY MOORE lyrics - I Can't Quit You Baby
(Willie Dixon)
I can't quit you, baby
But I've got to put you down for awhile
You know I can't quit you, baby
But I've got to put you down for awhile
Well, you messed up my happy home, babe
Made me mistreat my only child
You know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
Yes, you know I love you, baby
My love for you I would never hide
Yes, you know you're the onliest one, darlin'
You're just my heart's desire
Well, I'm so tired I could cry
I could just lay down and die
I'm so tired I could cry
I could just lay down and die
You know I love you, baby
You're just my heart's desire
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
You know it hurts me way down inside
When you hear me moanin' and groanin', baby
You know it hurts me way down inside
Yes, when you hear me holler, baby
You know you're my heart's desire

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - The Flyer
(Nanci Griffith)
He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo
Changing planes in Pittsburgh
We got grounded in a storm
And, I would give anything
To be on that flyer's arm
We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on the tarmac
We sang songs we knew in Spanish
As we both loved songs of language
He'd heard me on the radio
I'd seen the flyers of San Antone
And, I would give anything
To have that flyer for my own
[Chorus:]
God bless the flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
Cuz' I would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
He said he'd never married
Cuz, his heart was in the clouds
And I said I was too clumsy
That I broke the wings of the loves I found
He shouted out his name to me
As I ran to make my flight
I would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
One year I watched a war in London
In the airport leaving London
And I wondered if I'd know him
If I saw his wings in motion
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...
In the lightning of that flight?
I wish that you could tell me now
Will he be flyin' home tonight?
[Chorus 2x]
GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Last In Love
Blues outside my door, I don't even know if it's rainin'.
But I've been here before, and I don't want to be here again.
Every now and then voices on the wind
Call me back to the first time.
Far away and clear you can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love.
If I let you down, all I can say is I'm sorry.
Now it's all over town, so I don't want to hear it from you.
Please don't look away, it's hard enough to say.
This could go on forever.
And when the night is clear I can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love.
Every now and then voices on the wind
I may love you always and always.
Far away and clear you can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love,
Callin' for the last in love.
Will we always be the last in love?
PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Somewhere
Make of our hands, one hand
Make of our hearts, one heart
Make of our vows, one last vow
Only death will part us now
Make of our lives, one life
Day after day, one life
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part us now
There's a place for us
somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
time to learn, time to care
some day, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
somewhere
There's a place for us
a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
somehow, some day
somewhere
There's a place for us
a time and a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
somehow, some day
somewhere
I feel pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty, oh so pretty

LOU REED lyrics - High In The City
I got the time I got my feet
Let's go hit the street
High in the city, high in the city
I got my mace and you got your knife
You gotta protect your own life
High in the city, high in the city
I wanna get high high in the city
I wanna stay alive here in the city
I wanna stay high high in the city
High in the city, high in the city
Let's not walk down Sutton Place
You know everybody there got an Akitas
High in the city, high in the city
Don't wanna talk politics today
I feel too good let me have my way
High in the city, high in the city
Let's grap a pie, let's hit the park
I'll kiss and hug you till it gets dark
Here in the city, getting high in the city
High in the city and you're looking so pretty
Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city
High in the city
Watch out for that guy on your right
Seen him on the news last Saturday night
He was high in the city
Hey, look they're setting fire to that jeep
There's not much you can keep
High in the city, high in the city
I wanna get high high in the city
I wanna stay alive alive in the city
I wanna stay high high in the city
High in the city, high in the city
So many people feeling low
And there's only one way to go to
Get high in the city, high in the city

GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Moody's Mood
There I go, there I go, there I go
There I go
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?
Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in
And you can blow now if you want to
We're through.

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - E Lucevan Le Stelle
(from Pucinni's "Tosca")
[The painter Cavaradossi has been sentenced to death for helping to hide an escaped political prisoner. As he awaits his fate, he sings of the sweet memories of his beloved Tosca and his dashed dreams.]
E lucevan le stelle,
e olezzava le terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente
le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora e fuggita
e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
[Translation:]
How The Stars Seemed To Shimmer
How the stars seem to shimmer,
the sweet scents of the garden,
how the creaking gate whispered,
and a footstep skimmed over the sand,
how she then entered, so fragrant,
and then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses,
While I stood trembling,
searching her features concealed by her mantle.
My dreams of pure love, forgotten forever!
All of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing,
And never before have I loved like this!
RAY CHARLES lyrics - If I Give You My Love
If I give you my love, what will you give in
Return, if I give you my love
Will you cause my heart to yearn, and will it bring
Me sadness, with so many tears
And will it bring me gladness, all through out the
Years
if I give you my word, will you give me your word
Too
If I vow to yours, promes me that you'll be true
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned,
If I give you my love
What wil you give in return
[Solo Piano, Guitar]
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned
It I give you my love, what will you give in return
STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Round The Bend
I was a child lost in the northern plains
I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away
I was too young for where I'd been
Tryin' to regain my innocence
Already lost my best friend
Off somewhere in Vietnam
I wasn't going to go look for him
My destiny, just around the bend
Come along this apparition
An enigma for my intuition
Told me hold on to what you said
You got song, and you're too classy
Hard as Canadian black ice
All over you, makin' you think twice
Y'already can
Our destiny just around the bend
Just around the bend
So come on, let's go to New York city
Play the night owl, it's a pity
Couldn't find him, so I headed west
Think everyone knows the rest
I found him on the Sunset Strip
Bad place to get a grip
Got a band of famous men
Next thing you know
They took me round the bend
Round the bend
We got down on to some magic places
But the peoples around all had four faces
Couldn't stand such an honest heart
They couldn't wait to tear us apart
Early I didn't know
But the magic isn't odd you know
Don't need to be alone again
That's rockin', a roundin' at the bend
Roundin' at the bend
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - If I Didn't Love You
If I didn't love you
I'd be safe from harm.
I would never find myself
Lost inside your arms.
If I didn't love you
I'd never feel the pain
Of sunny days without you
Drowning in the rain.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you
Peace would rule the day
All the dark and out would surely go away.
If I didn't love you
I wouldn't pay the cost
Of living every endless day
If our love is lost.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...
And yet you make me breathless
At the way you move
I never knew that I
Could ever love the way we do.
I don't know how you reach me
In that place in my heart
Belonging to only you.
If I didn't love you
I wouldn't lose control
The danger loving brings a word
Never touch my soul.
If I didn't love you
Perhaps I wouldn't die.
If you should ever say to me
"I'm sorry, goodbye."
If I didn't love you...
How can there be music
In the way you touch?
I can't believe that somehow
I believe in you so much.
Now you've come and taught me
How to give you my heart.
And make me feel at last
That the end will never start.
You're the only reason
I'm not afraid to fall.
For if I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't love at all.

THE CASINOS lyrics - Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
(John D. Loudermill)
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
[Organ solo]
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
Mmm, I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - If I Told You That
Now tell me how you feel if I told
You that I have feelings for you
Ansd would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time
What I feel inside for you has changed
But I'd give up on love, if I thought
That it was untrue for you
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
I know that we were just friends
But what if I decide to bring somethings in
I hope it won't offend the trust
We have cause I don't want this to end
I you think that we'll lose what we have
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same
(I'd rather stay the same)
Cause I don't wanna choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
(tell me)
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
If we take this chance and extend
To each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me
(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)
Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me
Lonely if I told you
STING lyrics - Ellas Danzan Solas (Cueca Solas)
?Por que estan aqui, danzando solas?
?Por que hay tristeza en sus miradas?
Hay soldados tambien
Ignoran su dolor
Porque desprecian el amor
Danzan con los muertos
Los que ya no estan
Amores invisibles
No dejan de danzar
Danzan con sus padres
Sus ni? os tambien
Y con sus esposos
En soledad, en soledad
Yo las vi, en silencio gritar
No hay otra manera de protestar
Si dijeran algo mas
Solo un poco mas
Otra mujer seria torturada
Con seguridad
Danzan con los muertos
Los que ya no estan
Amores invisibles
No dejan de danzar
Danzan con sus padres
Sus ni? os tambien
Y con sus esposos
En soledad, en soledad
Un dia danzaremos
Sobre sus tumbas, libres
Un dia cantaremos
Al danzar
Un dia danzaremos
Sobre sus tumbas, libres
Un dia cantaremos
Al danzar
Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos
Danzan con los muertos
Danzan con amores invisibles
Con silenciosa anustia
Danzan con sus padres
Con sus hijos
Con sus esposos
Ellas danzan solas
Danzan solas
Hey Mr Pinochet
Su siembra huele mal
Y ese dinero que recibe
Pronto se terminara
No podra comprar mas armas
Ni a sus verdugos pagar
Imagine a su madre
Danzando siempre en soledad
Danzan con los muertos
Los que ya no estan
Amores invisibles
No dejan de danzar
Danzan con sus padres
Sus ni? os tambien
Y con sus esposos
En soledad, en soledad

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - Them Changes
(Sam Myers)
I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground,
I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
Than to stay around here
If you're gonna put me down.
Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, some day I'm gonna get lucky,
And down the road you know I'm goin'.
Well, I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground,
Well, I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
Than to stay around here
If you're gonna put me down.
You know I give you all my money,
Yeah little girl, everything I own.
Well, I give you all my money,
Everything I own.
Well, today I'm gonna get lucky,
And down the road you know I'm goin'.
BLACK SABBATH lyrics - No Stranger To Love
Cold is the night
Lonely till dawn
Cry for the light
For the love that won't come
You said that you'd never
Leave me alone
I gave you my heart
You cried for my soul
An angel won't come
This devil won't go
Something is wrong
I just can't get away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
But I'm a stranger in your arms
Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms
Maybe it's right
But I just can't understand
The hurt that I feel
For my love second hand
I know I should leave
But I just can't walk away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Diamonds At Her Feet
(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)
She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet
She got to take sick and die one of these days
I got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die one of these days
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days
If it was me and all the powers in my hands
If it was me and all the powers in my hands
If it was me and all the powers laying there child in my hands
She would have to go down to the promised land

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Ivory Tower
(Lyrics: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette / Music: Bloss-Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)
Here is the news
From my little hideaway
My sweet ivory tower
I've sent you songs about so many things
Mighty Moondogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen Angels, Streetside Romeos
Patricia's Park and anyway
Eternal youth and neverending summerdays
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event
That I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event...
I am a stranger
In a strange land
Welcome stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, carol, to fantasy
Oh my god, I feel so alone
A million lightyears far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in Germany
Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Desasters in the twentieth century
In the event that I don't return
Please, take this message to understand
In the event
In the event
JETHRO TULL lyrics - Protect And Survive
They said protect and you'll survive ---
(but our postman didn't call)
8lbs. of over-pressure wave seemed to glue him to the wall
They said protect and you'll survive
E. M.P. took out the radio ---
(and our milk-man didn't call)
Flash blinded by the pretty lights,
didn't see his bottles fall
or feel the warm black rain arrive
Big friendly cloud builds in the West
(and our dust-men haven't called)
They left the dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour ---
a tail wind chasing them away
And in deep shelters lurk below, sub-regional control
who sympathise but cannot help
to mend your body or your soul
Self-appointed guadians of the race with egg upon their face
When steady sirens sing all-clear they pop up,
find nobody here
And so I watch two new suns spin ---
(our paper man doesn't call)
Burnt shadow printed on the road --- now there's nothing there at all
They said protect and you'll survive
PHISH lyrics - Scents And Subtle Sounds (Intro)
If you would only start to live
One moment at a time
You would, I think, be startled
By the things that you would find.
Like Scents you never noticed
And many subtle sounds
Like colors in the landscape
And textures of the town
Then the winds would lift you up
Into the sky above
And you'd be treted to a view
Of everything you love
And if the moment passes
You should try it once again
For if you do it right
You'll find the moment never ends
OTIS REDDING lyrics - I Can't Turn You Loose

SLASH lyrics - Paradise City
Just a' urchin
Livin' under the street
I'm a hard case
That's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
For the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time
[Chorus:]
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair
Of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says
It's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
[Chorus]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said-
Turn me around and
Take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind-
"Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times
[Chorus]

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - The Night I Fell In Love
I was backstage
couldn't believe my luck was in
I saw him approach
wearing a most approachable grin
When he said hello
I was surprised he spoke so politely
I said I'd liked his show
Well he just smiled
I guess it happens nightly
and so
I fell in love
We went to his room
he had a video camera
I was so nervous
I had to try hard not to stammer
He said
'I'm glad you liked the show
that crowd was dope out there tonight, alright
You wanna see some more?
Well be my guest
You can have a private performance'
I'd fallen in love
I didn't ask why
though he seemed like such a regular guy
he said we could be
secret lovers
just him and me
Then he joked
'Hey, man!
Your name isn't Stan, is it?
We should be together!'
And he was passionate
I guess I would rate
him a nine out of ten
by then
I'd fallen in love
When I asked
why have I heard so much
about him being charged
with homophobia and stuff
he just shrugged
Next morning we woke
he couldn't have been a nicer bloke
Over breakfast made jokes
about Dre and his homies and folks
Neither of us asked if or when
we would see each other again
but I thought that was cool
'cause Iwas already late for school
by then
I'd fallen in love
CELINE DION lyrics - Trois Heures Vingt
Je t'ai dit non, , , ca ne voulait rien dire
J'avais encore tres peur hier
Il me fallait le temps de reflechir
J'etais encore bien jeune hier
Mais ne fais pas cette tete
Tout ira bien tu le sais
Puisqu'a la fin, , , ou tu vas
Je vais
I told you no, , , it meant nothing
I was still very afraid yesterday
I needed some time to think
I was still very young yesterday
But don't do this face
All will be fine you know
Since that at the end, , , where you go
I go
On part ensemble, , , ok, c'est decide
Tu veux m'emmener loin d'ici
Tout est prevu tu as tout arrange
Pour demain dans l'apres-midi
J'ai mes parents qui m'attendent
, , , Ne t'en fais pas je viendrai
Puisque toujours, , , ou tu vas
Je vais
We leave together, , , ok, it's decided
You want to take me far from here
All is planned you have all arranged
For tomorrow in the afternoon
I have my parents who are waiting for me
, , , Don't worry, I'll come
Since always, , , where you go
I go
Je viendrai
Trois heures vingt, place d'Italie
Je viendrai
Pas plus tard que la demie
Je viendrai, , , bien sur
Je viendrai, , , c'est sur
Ne crains rien
Je viendrai
I will come
Twenty past three, Italy place

De changer d'avis
Ne crains rien
Je viendrai

Twenty past three, I've well understood
I will come

No chance, , , it's said
Of changing mind

Tu ne te trompes jamais
Et puis tu sais, , , ou tu vas
Je vais

You are never wrong
And you know, , , where you go
I go
OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Rock 'N' Roll Rebel
(Osbourne)
They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious
They hide behind the laws they made for all of us
The ministry of truth that deals with pretense
The ministry of peace that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're trying to do
It's for me, it's for me, it's for you, it's for you
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
They must be stupid or blind
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
They live a life of fear and insecurity
And all you do is pay for their prosperity
The ministry of fear that won't let you live
The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive
Do what you will to try and make me conform
I'll make you wish that you had never been born
Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll do what I please
Yes I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
And I'm as free as the breeze
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
They'll try playin' win your heart
They know it rules your head
If they could read between the lines
You know they'd see the real day
God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus
The ministry of war that got caught in the draft
The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
When it's all boiled down and the day's at an end
I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend
Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
Why don't they open their eyes
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
A rock 'n' roll rebel
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
CHICAGO lyrics - Feel
So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it
That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?
[Chorus:]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, yeah, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late,
Just close your eyes and feel, feel
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
It's senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?
[Chorus]
Every breath that's going thru you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you
[Chorus]
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from the bad
Feel and stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
You've played the game for long enough, oh, no, no,
Everybody's pulling you in all directions.
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Mistress And Maid
(McCartney/MacManus)
She said, "Come in, my dear,
You're looking tired tonight
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
And fix you your usual drink"
He settles back
Takes a magazine
Kicks off his shoes
As he studies the form
Of every appealing soubrette
But where are the flowers that he used to bring?
Every endearing remark
Reminds her of passionate promises
That he only made in the dark
In her bed
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, look at me
I'm afraid
See what it's come to
I'm just your mistress and maid
The wine is warm
But the dinner is cold
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
Till the girls on the page come to life
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
With every endearing remark
And all of the passionate promises
He'll never fulfil in the dark
In their bed
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
See what it's come to
I'm not your mistress and maid
See what it's come to
I'm not your mistress and maid

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - You're So Clever
You're so clever, so smooth and debonair.
You're so clever, and you never seem to have a care.
You grew unflustered by storms or humid sticky weather.
Oh, you're so clever, oh
You're so different, and a thousand in the red
You're so instant, snap your finger and light for my cigarette.
I been busted by your charm when we're together.
Oh, you're so clever. oh yeah.
I mean it.
You're so perfect.
You always choose the big ones.
I seen you
On the dance floor
And you keep that perfect time.
There's no one I want but you
I mean forever, I mean forever
You're so clever.
Oh, you're a genesis
Everything that ever gets me hot
I'm reeling, you cause my nemesis
You're everything I want and all I got
There's no one I want but you
And I mean forever
And I mean forever
You're so clever.
You're so open
So straight, but never plain
So gently spoken
I'm not joking, your smile can Stop the rain
I'm going to muster strength, and chase you ever leather
You, you're so clever
Yes, you, you're so clever
Yes, you, you're so clever
Yes you, you're so clever.
STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Narnia
Things they taught you at school
Can sometimes disappear
Why do you disbelieve
The things I said were true
Of a land nothing planned
It just happens
Girls and boys who shout come out to play
With a queen cold as ice
You'd best take my advice
To steer clear of her charm
She's easily annoyed
What's that sound, you turn around
It just happens there are bells
And reindeer drawing a sleigh
There troubled with snow covered peaks
Till the end of time
We know you're a daughter of Eve
And a friend of mine - no
Yes I'm certain that you
Will influence the rest
She could turn you to stone
You're suitably impressed
And so easily led
There just happen to be repercussions
Months ahead
Oh there troubled with snow covered peaks
Till the end of time
We know you're a daughter of Eve
And a friend of mine - no
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe
(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
I press my nose against the pane
Of the little toffee shop
Day after day I save my pennies
To spend at the toffee shop
Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock
I stand on the cold stone street
A penny every day that I have saved
To buy myself some sweets
The nice little lady old and grey
With glasses and shawl
Gives love away to good little boys
Who do as they are told
She's always telling stories
Of her childhood days
She couldn't buy the things that I can
For families in those days
Imagine the sweets that I can buy
With six pennies of my own
I always take my time to choose
The sweets that I'll be taking home
Gobstoppers in my pockets
Brown sugar in my hand
Lollies you suck that last all day
And sugar that looks like sand

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - I'm Beginning To See The Light
(J. Hodges, H. James, D. Ellington, D. George)
[Recorded April 10, 1962, Los Angeles]
I never cared much for moonlight skies, I never wink at fireflies,
But now that the stars are in your eyes, I'm beginning to see the light.
I never went for after-glow, candle light on the mistletoe,
But now when you turn the lamp down low, I'm beginning to see the light.
Used to ramble through the park, shadow boxing in the dark,
Then you came and caused a spark, that's a four-alarm fire now.
I never made love by lantern shine, I never saw rainbows on my wine,
But now that your lips are burning mine, I'm beginning to see the light.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Out Of The Cold
(Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne)
The day fell down, the air got cold
I walked out in the street
Daydreamed for a mile or two
Staring at my feet like a working boy
Out of luck, falling through the cracks
night rolled in, I turned back home
A hard wind at my back
(Chorus)
I'm out in the cold, body and soul
There's nowhere to go
I'm out in the cold
When I woke up my brain was stunned
I could not come around
I reached out to grab my keys
And tumbled to the ground
I thought of you starry-eyed, I wonder where we stand?
Did I just fall from your arms
Down into your hands?
(Chorus)
I'm standing in a door-way
I'm out walking 'round, hands in my pockets
(Chorus)
THE KINKS lyrics - National Health
Nervous tension, man's invention,
Is the biggest killer that's around today
Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
And strike you down some day
Nervous tension, man's invention
Is the biggest waste of human energy
Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
And that will be a tragedy
Valium helps you for a while
But somehow valium seems to bring me down
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects
Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend
You gotta let out the tension
With a little bit of exercise
Loosen up your muscles
And feel the knots in your body untie
We oh we oh
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
It sure beats quaaludes
It sure beats cocaine
Even Freud recommends it
Cos it relieves the strain
Altogether now
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Some people say it sends you deaf
Some people say it sends you blind
Some people say it makes you old
Some people say it blows your mind
But I say
If it's good for your health
It's good for your mind
If it keeps you together
It's really all right
We oh we oh
Oh c'mon, kick the cat
Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health
Nervous tension, nervous tension, nervous tension
Nervous tension. nervous tension, nervous tension
Nervous tension, man's invention
Is the biggest killer that's around
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah an
Valium helps you for a while
But somehow valium seems to bring me down
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects
Aren't guaranteed to drive you round the bend
I say I say
Oh oh oh oh it's good for your health
Keeps you together, it's the state of the national health
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health
Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Evil Eye
Something About The Way That You Look At Me,
You Watch Every Move, Every Step, Every Fantasy,
Got No Time For Love, There's Something In Your Mind,
Got The Face Of An Angel But The Stare Of A Devil Inside.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
People Say The Woman's Got An Evil Eye.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
Free Me From The Woman With The Evil Eye.
I Turn Away But Still I See That Evil Stare,
Trapped Inside My Dreams I Know You're There.
Thoughts Of Happiness You Destroyed Them All,
First Inside My Head, Then Inside My Soul.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
People Say The Woman's Got An Evil Eye.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
Free Me From The Woman With The Evil Eye.
