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!

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

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

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



[Huh]I cant turn you loose now

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

I will come

Not later than the half

I will come, , , of course

I will come, , , it's sure

Don't be afraid

I will come

Trois heures vingt, j'ai bien compris

Je viendrai

Pas plus tard que la demie

Pas question, , , c'est dit

De changer d'avis

Ne crains rien

Je viendrai



I will come

Twenty past three, I've well understood

I will come

Not later than the half

No chance, , , it's said

Of changing mind

Don't be afraid

Ne t'en fais pas j'ai confiance

Tu ne te trompes jamais

Et puis tu sais, , , ou tu vas

Je vais



Don't worry I have confidence

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.
