COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - The Water Is Wide

(Traditional)



The water is wide, I cannot cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I.



Oh love is gentle and love is kind

The sweetest flower when first it blooms

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew.



The water is wide, I cannot cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I

And both shall row,

My love and I.

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Ramblin' Gamblin Man

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on, uh come on, give a listen

Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside

Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice

I was just thirteen when I had to leave home

Knew I couldn't stick around

I had to roam, ain't good lookin'

But you know I ain't shy

Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey in the eye

So if you need some lovin' and you need it right away

Take a little time out and maybe I'll stay



But I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)

Gamble (Gamblin' man)

Got to, got to ramble (ramblin' man)

E

I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man



Yeah, uhh, say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hah, hah

A bring it on, come on now

Yeah, alright, here we go now



Now, I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some

Ain't gonna run on lovin' and I must run

Got to keep movin', never gonna slow down

You can have your funky world, see you 'round

Cause I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)

I got to gamble (gamblin' man)

I got to ramble (ramblin' man)

Lord I'm a ramblin', gamblin' man



Oh! I'm just a rambler

Yeah! and I'm just a gambler

Come on and sing along

'Cause I'm just a rambler (ramblin' man)

Lord I'm a gambler (gamblin' man)

I'm a rambler

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez

And it's Eastertime too

And your gravity fails

And negativity don't pull you through

Don't put on any airs

When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue

They got some hungry women there

And they really make a mess outa you.



Now if you see Saint Annie

Please tell her thanks a lot

I cannot move

My fingers are all in a knot

I don't have the strength

To get up and take another shot

And my best friend, my doctor

Won't even say what it is I've got.



Sweet Melinda

The peasants call her the goddess of gloom

She speaks good English

And she invites you up into her room

And you're so kind

And careful not to go to her too soon

And she takes your voice

And leaves you howling at the moon.



Up on Housing Project Hill

It's either fortune or fame

You must pick up one or the other

Though neither of them are to be what they claim

If you're lookin' to get silly

You better go back to from where you came

Because the cops don't need you

And man they expect the same.

Now all the authorities

They just stand around and boast

How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms

Into leaving his post

And picking up Angel who

Just arrived here from the coast

Who looked so fine at first

But left looking just like a ghost.



I started out on burgundy

But soon hit the harder stuff

Everybody said they'd stand behind me

When the game got rough

But the joke was on me

There was nobody even there to bluff

I'm going back to New York City

I do believe I've had enough.

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Mercy Bound

(M. Addison)



Late last night I awoke in a dream

To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream

Oh oh oh

From out of the city and out of the street

Out where the wind hits the cold concrete

Oh oh oh

It's cold outside

Darkness your enemy

No place to hide

The voice said this to me

In your doorways I have shivered

In your alleys I have gone to ground

But I will be delivered

Someday I will be mercy bound



I dreamed again it was west L. A.

On a crowded street on a hot summer day

She was alone

Three months late and beginning to show

In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow

She had no one to call

And no way home

And in my mind

I knew I'd seen myself

But in our blindness

It always seems like someone else

There I was a rag a bone

A remnant in your lost and found

I was for once truly alone

Longing to be mercy bound



And I knew that I would wander as child in the forest

Till they found me

And I called out to them but I could not penetrate the silence

All around me



And when I wake I know you'll comfort me

And I won't sleep again for an eternity

But others lie awake at night

In desperation more profound

And the coming of the morning light

Will not see them mercy bound



And some will never dream again

From sleeping on the ground

Just longing to belong

And dying to be mercy bound

Oh please don't stop your dreaming

Someday we'll all be mercy bound

THE SMITHS lyrics - Girlfriend In A Coma

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know - it's serious

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know - it's really serious

There were times

When I could

Have 'murdered' her

(but, you know, I would hate

Anything to happen to her)

NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER

Do you really think

She'll pull through?

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know - it's serious

There were times when I could

Have 'strangled' her

(but, you know, I would hate

Anything to happen to her)

WOULD YOU PLEASE

LET ME SEE HER!

Do you really think

She'll pull through?

Let me whisper my last goodbyes



I know - IT'S SERIOUS

ZZ TOP lyrics - Cherry Red

Strange things goin' through my head. Oh!

Crazy things that I think she said.

Slides so slinky that it's gotta be real.

She just wanna know how to feel.

Cherry red, cherry red

She just wanna feel cherry red.

Cherry red, cherry red

She just wanna feel cherry red.

This town of killer tits is doing me in.

Tried to leave once wanna do it again.

But this one little thing's such a thoroughbred.

I'm addicted to the feel of her cherry red.

Cherry red, cherry red

Addicted to the feel of her cherry red.

Cherry red, cherry red

I wanna keep thinkin' 'bout cherry red.

Whip out a bottle of your favorite rave

I think you better tend to your cherry crave

Ain't nothin' stupid what we're talking about

Take a little twist and then you pour it on out

Cherry red, cherry red

Think you better tend to your cherry red.

Cherry red, cherry red

I think you better give me that cherry red.

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I'm Never Gonna Let You Go

Let's turn the lights down soft and low

And watch the fire embers glow

Let's lock the world outside the door

This is the night we've been waiting for



The moon is shining through the window pane

I hear the echo of a passing train

Taking someone's lover far away

But in your arms is where I wanna stay



Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world

Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl

And now that I've found you

I'm never gonna let you go



Let your hair fall across your breast

Show me the warmth of your soft caress

The music's playin' soft and slow

We're driftin' into the afterglow



Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world

Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl

And now that I've found you

I'm never gonna let you go



I'm never gonna let you go

I'm never gonna let you go

I'm never gonna let you go

MICK JAGGER lyrics - Radio Control

(Jagger)



I'm a player in a game show

And it's poisoning my mind

I'm a string on someone's yo-yo

I feel my life is trivialised



I eat scandal for my breakfast

I spit gossip late at night

I'm not one for fancy speeches

But they're sucking me like leeches

Feel my body's under radio control



Listen

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey



Every woman that I'm loving

She's got to have that sense of style

All the men love that aggression

They want to walk that extra mile

I'm getting sick of competition

You better take me off this mission

Feel my body's under radio control





Listen

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey



I always stay fresh

Don't run out of juice

I don't let the power run dry

Don't make a fool of myself

Let my tounge hang too loose

I stay out of range to survive

Every woman she got to walk that extra mile

I'm not one for fancy speeches

But they're sucking me like leeches

Feel my body's under radio control



Listen Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey



Walk forwards

Walk backwards

Radio control

Work hard

Take a vacation

Radio control

Radio control

Radio control

ANN WILSON lyrics - War Of Man

(Neil Young)



[Originally by Neil Young]



The little creatures

Run in from the cold

Back to the nest

Just like the days of old

There in the safety

Of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages,

Far away from harm again.



Ears ringin'

From the battle fire

The tired warrior

Aims a little higher

The black falcon

Or the little sparrow

The healing light

Or the flash of the barrel.



No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man.



Silver mane flyin' in the wind

Down through the planets

On the run again

No one knows where

They're runnin' to

But every kind is comin'

Two by two.



Out on the delta

Where the hoofbeats pound

The daddy's runnin'

On the frozen ground

Can't smell the poison

As it follows him

Can't see the gas and machines,

It's a war of man.



No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man.



The windows open

And the little girl dreams

The sky's her playground

As she mounts her steed

Across the heavens

To the other side

On wings of magic

Does the little girl ride.



The baby creatures

Run in from the cold

Back to the nest

Just like the days of old

There in the safety

Of a mother's arms

The warmth of ages,

Far away from harm again.



No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins

It's a war of man,

No one wins.

10,000 MANIACS lyrics - You Happy Puppet

(music : Robert Buck / lyrics : Natalie Merchant)



How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery?

Tell me something, if the world is so insane,

Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?



How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can't leave?

Tell me something, if the world is so insane,

Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?



A dullard strung on the wire.

When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.



How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

How do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin?



A dullard strung on the wire.

When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.



Tell me something, if the world is so insane,

Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty wooden head?



Your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins

All wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way.

SANTANA lyrics - Let The Children Play

(Carlos Santana & Leon Patillo)



Let the children have their way

Let the children play

Let the children play



(Repeat)



Yo le digo caballero

Que los ninos le quieren jugar

Ellos tienen que jugar

Ellos tienen que jugar



(Repeat)



Let the children play

Ellos tienen que jugar

Ellos tienen que jugar

Let the children play

ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Will You Remember Me

(Rosanne Cash, John Leventhal)



Will you remember me

Like the circled stones

On the ancient hills

Where you walk alone?



Where the wind can speak

My secret name

Like the air you breathe

Will you remember me?



Will you remember me

As your airplane flies?

Over foreign seas

An' breaking skies



Like a perfect child

You can't bear to leave

In your last long days

Will you remember me?



Will you remember me

On the edge of life

Where time runs slow

Where song can fly



In these shuttered rooms

Where we say goodbye

When the soul is free

Will you remember?



When there's no need to breathe

Will you remember me?

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Ghostrider

Shadows in your room

Like a ghost you never see

Look in to the one you love if you're afraid of me

Ghettos in his eyes

He plays a torch song melody

Listen to the one you love if you're afraid of me



Ghost rider

E S P

Paperback rider

You can't fool me



When all is said and done

Babylon was meant to be

Shitting on the one you love if you're afraid of me



He's got the wild dog in his eyes

He's got a speedball in his brain

Running through the roads of love like a marathon man



Ghost rider

E S P

The devil inside her

Don't want it to be



Yeah the ghost rider

E S P

A paperback rider



Deep down in his soul

Every little boy knows

The he can't stop running so go



Look out

There's been a shoot out for love

I've got the shivers of love



Ghost rider

E S P

The devil inside her

I don't want it to be

Ghost rider

E S P

She's got the devil inside her

Oh no you can't



You can't fool me

Oh no you can't

You can't fool me

Oh no you can't

Yeah the ghost rider

E S P

Oh paperback rider

Oh no you can't fool



Oh no you can't fool

BADFINGER lyrics - Flying

Feel like I'm flying, I'm dying to say

"Want you forever and easy"

Be where you are, where I want you to stay

Don't you know what I'm saying?

Believe me



Feel like I'm falling, it's all I can do

Lyin' and dyin' is lonely

Deeper and darker, no way to forgive

No way to believe what you told me

No way to believe what you told me

Way to believe



[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]



Kings in their castles wound up in the wine

Drinking their confidence daily

Wish I could be into that peace of mine

Wish I could be into crazy

Wish I could be into crazy

Wish I could be...

AMY GRANT lyrics - El Shaddai

(Michael Card & John Thompson)



[Chorus:]

El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai [means "God Almighty, God Almighty"]

El-Elyon na Adonai [means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"]

Age to age, You're still the same

By the power of the name.

El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai

Erkamka na Adonai [means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"]

We will praise and lift You high

El-Shaddai



Through Your love

And through the ram,

You saved the son

Of Abraham.

Through the power

Of Your hand,

Turned the sea

Into dry land.

To the outcast

On her knees,

You were the God

Who really sees.

And by Your might,

You set Your children free.



[Chorus]



Through the years,

You made it clear,

That the time of Christ

Was near,

Though the people

Couldn't see

What Messiah ought to be.

Though Your Word

Contained the plan,

They just could not understand,

Your most awesome work was done

Though the frailty of Your son.



[Chorus]

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Darkness Darkness

(Young)



Darkness darkness be my pillow

Take my hand let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

Darkness darkness hide my yearning

For the things that cannot be

Keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things that cannot see (no, no)



Darkness darkness long and lonesome

With the day that brings my happiness

I have found the edge of silence

Oh I am in depths of fear

Darkness darkness be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away take away the pain of your way

Fill the emptiness with light (na na na na)



Darkness darkness be my pillow

Take my hand let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

Darkness darkness hide my yearning

For the things that cannot be

Keep my mind keep my mind from constant turning

Toward the things that cannot see

WALTER BECKER lyrics - Girlfriend

Alone in my cave

It's corn flakes and Camels

And the long restless shadows of my life

None but the brave

Jim Beam and Jack Daniels

Channelhopping these empty days and nights

Glued to the screen

Rerun by rerun

At the dark outer limits of my soul

Stranded between

The Green Acres of my good intentions

And the Twilight Zone of zero self-control



So come on angel

Tune in on me

You 'll see your faithful servant

Lost in misery

And all of your hard work

Coming down to no good

Better see about me babe

If you only could now



Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you

Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you



Dust and despair

Cobwebs and confusion

Collecting in the corners of my room

All of my dreams

Bitter illusions

I just can't be rid of them too soon

Tired of my brain

Tired of this movie

Too tired to get up and shut it off

The time that remains

What good can it do me

Now that I know that too much is not enough

Wait a minute baby

What about my heart

Was it your idea

To take it all apart

And put it all back together

Just one piece at a time

Now it's down to you darling

That's why I'm all



Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you

Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you



I'm pullin' in a picture now

Up off my back pages

And all at once am privy to

The entire grim design

Of a great civilization

In the terminal stages

Of a slow but steady mental moral spiritual decline

And so it goes

And thus it is written

And all I want to know is

Where does a guy like me fit in?



So I'm visualizing a cute little bunny

With a fluffy white tail and long grey floppy ears

Who looks up at me and says, Doc don't you worry

All you got to do is, hide in here

Now all you got to do is to just say when

You might consider bringing your sweetness 'round here again



Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you

Girlfriend if it can't be you

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it can't be you

CREAM lyrics - Four Until Late

(Robert Johnson)



From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying.

From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying.

I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound.



From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown.

From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown.

You know she won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down.



A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers.

A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers.

She cause so many men to wear an apron overall.



When I leave this town I will bid you fair farewell.

When I leave this town I will bid you fair farewell.

And when I return again, you'll have a great long story to tell.

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - I Miss Who I Was With You

They say I seem different now

Hope I'm wiser any how

I've had some time to learn a thing or two

I know the change has done me good

But I don't feel like I wish I would

Sometimes I miss who I was with you



Every time your name comes up

I just smile don't say too much

A button's pushed, my heart gets stuck again

I pray it's just a passing thought

'Cause we both know we're better off

But sometimes I miss who I was with you



Stormy days and sleepless nights

Sometimes we even got it right

Can't believe what we put each other through

In spite of all our chemistry

Some things just aren't meant to be

Sometimes I miss who I was with you



Every time your name comes up

I just smile don't say too much

A button's pushed, my heart gets stuck again

I pray it's just a passing thought

'Cause we both know we're better off

But sometimes I miss who I was with you



Yeah, sometimes I miss who I was with you

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Put Your Dreams Away

Put your dreams away for another day

And I will take their place in your heart

Wishing on a star never got you far

And so it's time to make a new start

When your dreams at night

Fade before you

Then I'll have the right

To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling

And put all your dreams away

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Tom Ames' Prayer

(Steve Earle)



Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ames would come to some bad end

Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' chickens and such

By the time that he was ten

And one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill

And he tucked it in his hand

He said I can tell you're headed for trouble son

And your momma wouldn't understand



So he took that money and his brothers old bay

And he left without a word of thanks

Fell in with a crowd in some border town

And took to robbin' banks



Outside the law your luck will run out fast

And a few years came and went

'Till he's trapped in an alley in Abilene

With all but four shells spent



And he realized prayin' was the only thing

That he hadn't ever tried

Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how

But he looked up to the sky



Said you don't owe me nothin' and as far as I know

Lord don't owe nothin' to you

And I ain't askin' for a miracle Lord

Just a little bit of luck will do



And you know I ain't never prayed before

But it always seemed to me

If prayin' is the same as beggin' Lord

I don't take no charity



Yeah but right now Lord with my back to the wall

Can't help but recall

How they nearly hung me for stealin' a horse

In Fort Smith Arkansas



Judge Parker said guilty and the gavel came down

Just like a cannon shot

And I went away quietly

And I began to file and plot



Well they sent the preacher down to my cell

He said the Lord is your only hope

He's the only friend that you gonna have

When you hit the end of Parker's rope



Well I guess he coulda' kept on preachin' 'till Christmas

But he turned his back on me

I put a home made blade to that golden throat

And asked the deputy for the key



Well it ain't the first close call I ever had

I'm sure you already know

I had some help from you Lord and the devil himself

It's been strictly touch and go



Yeah but who in the hell am I talkin' to

There ain't no one here but me

Then he cocked both his pistols and he spit in the dirt

And he walked out in the street

GIPSY KINGS lyrics - Pedir A Tu Corazon

Pedir a tu corazon que me quiere un poco

No puedo vivir sin ti tu me tiene loco

Ay me estoy muriendo si no viene pronto

Pedir a tu corazon

Pedir a tu corazon que me quiere un poco

No puedo vivir sin ti tu me tiene loco

Ay me estoy muriendo si no viene pronto

Pedir a tu corazon que me quiere un poco

No puedo vivir sin ti tu me tiene loco

Ay me estoy muriendo si no viene pronto



Tabernero, tabernero

Dame una copa de vino

Dame una copa de vino

que siempre yo me regalo



Pedir a tu corazon que me quiere un poco

Pedir a tu corazon que me quiere un poco

No puedo vivir sin ti tu me tiene loco

Ay me estoy muriendo si no viene pronto



Pedir a tu corazon

KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Fragile

Innocent, that's my way

Don't know where I am

Catch my breath, can't think straight

Gotta make a plan



But I get butterflies

Water in my eyes



'cause I'm fragile when I hear your name

Fragile when you call

This could be the nearest thing to love

And I'm fragile when I hear you speak

Fragile feeling small

This could be the closest thing to love



Shake and sweat, wipe my brow

Scared of what's to come

Lie awake, toss and turn

Am I the only one



But I get butterflies

Water in my eyes



'cause I'm fragile when I hear your name

Fragile when you call

This could be the nearest thing to love

And I'm fragile when I hear you speak

Fragile feeling small

This could be the closest thing to love



But I get butterflies

Water in my eyes

When I think of you

I could break in two



'cause I'm fragile when I hear your name

Fragile when you call

This could be the nearest thing to love

And I'm fragile when I hear you speak

Fragile feeling small

This could be the closest thing to love

THE GO-GO'S lyrics - You Thought

(Schock/Valentine)



I can't seem to stop the music

All those familiar sounds

My thoughts cut in on partners

Dancin' in their empty arms

Tangled up in the lives of others

That don't make any sense

Lost looks in the eyes of lovers

Their sins are innocent

Don't you stop to wonder

What's goin' wrong

When everything you've ever loved

Has come and gone



You thought and never told me

You thought but that won't hold me

So much was left unspoken

Held in a heart now broken



Situations all invented

A million in your head

How come you keep repeating

Each word you ever said



You thought and never questioned

You thought and kept me guessing

Too much was left unspoken

You thought a bit too late this time

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - The House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans.

They call the Rising Sun.

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one.



My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new bluejeans

My father was a gamblin man

Down in New Orleans.



Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time that he's satisfied

Is when he's all drunk.



Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

To spend their life in sin and misery

In the house of the Rising Sun.



With one foot on the platform

And the other foot on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain



There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys

And god I know I'm one.

ERASURE lyrics - Piano Song

(Clarke / Bell)



Never get angry at the stupid people

Though I go crazy at the dullness of my life

Sit and I stare through a dusty window

An empty face stares back at me and cries



My vulnerability rushes up to me

And I'm left here

The rebel without a cause

And the deeper I delve into

The consciousness of me with you

The harder it gets

I need to close my eyes

What hurts me most

I'll never see your eyes again



Though I get weary doesn't mean that I'm unwilling

My body belies me, I'm a fertile mind

And as I grow older the world forgets me

And talks to me as if I'm some kind of child



Their insensitivity washes over me

'Til I'm left here

The rebel without a cause

The deeper I delve into

The consciousness of me and you

The harder it gets

I need to close my eyes



What hurts me most

I'll never see your eyes again

The harder it gets

I need to close my eyes

I can't recollect

I'll never see your eyes again

I try to forget

I'll never see your eyes again

What hurts me most

I'll never see your eyes again



Don't touch me

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - The War Song

War war is stupid

and people are stupid

And love means nothin

in some strange quarters

War war is stupid

and people are stupid

And I heard them banging

on hearts and fingers

People fill the world

with narrow confidence

Like a child at birth

a man with no defence

What's mine's my own

I won't give it to you

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Now we're fighting

in our hearts

Fighting in the streets

Won't somebody help me

Man is far behind

in the search for something new

Like a Philistine

we're burning witches too

This world of fate

must be designed for you

It matters what you say

it matters what you do

Now we're fighting

in our hearts

Fighting in the streets

Won't somebody help me

After the bird has flown

He walked ten thousand

miles back home

You can't do that to me, no

you can't do that to me

You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Let There Be Love

We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search

As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe

In this hour and in truth what is it worth

When we can't escape the madness

We've created on this earth



They say that money talks but you and I

Know places money just don't say enough



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

The very best in all of us

Let there be love, let there be love



We live divided behind imaginary walls

Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall

With hearts united we will never stand so tall

Reachin' out to one another

We'll find the meaning of it all



Ain't one power we will ever know

Could ever heal the poverty of the soul



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

To forgive and rise above

Let there be love, let there be love



(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)

How many more promises spoken

While the dreams of the innocent die

Every day another heart gets broken

While the flame of hate survives

When will the healing begin in our lives



Let there be love where there is emptiness

Let there be faith where hope is gone

Let there be strength where there is helplessness

And open eyes to see right from wrong

We've gotta find a way to trust

The very best in all of us

Gotta be more than wise enough

To forgive and rise above

Let there be love, let there be love

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Dance

When the young girls start to dance

At the rock and roll shows

Heaven knows they're making love to you

And it's a young man's chance, go on and dance

You've got your reasons too, the girls been looking at you



[Chorus:]

Dance, dance, so much romance gets lost from staying alone

Dance dance you've got all night go on you can take this song

And dance dance dance



So my girl came to dance at the rock and roll show

And you know she's making love to me

I knew from her first glance I'd take a chance

And now I'm feeling free that girl will only dance with me



[Chorus]

MANASSAS lyrics - My Love Is A Gentle Thing

My love is gentle thing

She moves with a whispering

She waits for my mind to slow

And then I'm hers to know



Have you seen her love eyes?

Watching me, her love eyes



We lay in Hawaii's sun

The water will make us one

The sleep of peace will come

The end of trouble has begun



Have you seen her love eyes?

Watching me, her love eyes ooo

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - The Peddler's Serenade

There's a peddler comes to our house

With such wonderful bargains to sell

And he starts our hearts to tingling

Just as soon as he pushed the bell



With his pots and pans so shiny

He's more fun than a penny arcade

Won't you listen to his sing song

Of the peddler's serenade



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)



Angelina come-a down-a

It-sa the man he's back on the door

He's a gotta more to show you

Than the five and ten cents store

If you're gonna catch-a new husband

He's-a gotta 'bout all the you need

Only don't-a go for the peddler

He's already one wife and a kid



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)



Every body loves our peddler

He's always so merry and so gay

He's-a pans they clang and they clatter

Making wonderful music all day



There's one for macaroni

And-a one for the garlic and the sauce

It's-a gotta long handle for showing the husband who's boss



(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away

If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)

There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade

J. J. CALE lyrics - That Kind Of Thing

(J. J. Cale)



It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis

It's that kind of thing babe, shuffle or die

Going through these changes

Like Mr. Right

It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis

It's that kind of thing babe, pay your dues

It's that kind of thing babe, win or lose

Going through these changes

Like Mr. Right

It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - The Dangerous Kitchen

The dangerous kitchen

If it ain't one thing it's another

In the middle of the night when you get home

The bread things are all dry 'n' scratchy

The meat things

Where the cats ate through the paper

The can things with the sharp little edges

That can cut your fingers when you're not looking

The soft little things on the floor that you step on

They can all be DANGEROUS

Sometimes the milk can hurt you

(If you put it on your cereal

Before you smell the plastic container)

And the stuff in the strainer

Has a mind of its own

So be very careful

In the dangerous kitchen

When the night time has fallen,

And the roaches are crawlin'

In the kitchen of danger

You can feel like a stranger

The bananas are black

They got flies in the back

And also the chicken

In the dish with the foil

Where the cream is all clabbered

And the salad is frightful

Your return in the evening

Can be less than delightful

You must walk very careful

You must not lean against it

It can get on your clothing

It can follow you in

As you walk to the bedroom

And you take all your clothes off

While you're sleeping

It crawls off

It gets in your bed

It could get on your face then

It could eat your complexion

You could die from the danger

Of the dangerous kitchen

Who the fuck wants to clean it?

It's disgusting and dirty

The sponge on the drainer

Is stinky and squirty

If you squeeze it when you wipe up

What you get on your hands then

Could un-balance your glands and

Make you blind or whatever

In the dangerous kitchen

At my house tonight

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Lord Protect My Child

For his age, he's wise

He's got his mother's eyes

There's gladness in his heart

He's young and he's wild

My only prayer is, if I can't be there,

Lord, protect my child



As his youth now unfolds

He is centuries old

Just to see him at play makes me smile

No matter what happens to me

No matter what my destiny

Lord, protect my child



While the world is asleep

You can look at it and weep

Few things you find are worthwhile

And though I don't ask for much

No material things to touch

Lord, protect my child



He's young and on fire

Full of hope and desire

In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled

If I fall along the way

And can't see another day

Lord, protect my child



There'll be a time I hear tell

When all will be well

When God and man will be reconciled

But until men lose their chains

And righteousness reigns

Lord, protect my child

ELOY lyrics - Sphinx

surpassed celestial gates of light,

i left the worldly spheres behind;

into atmospheres unknown

to the planet of silence.

ancient tales have told

of sphinx on his throne,

create an aura unique.

his superior mind... doesn't need space or time.



pass through rooms of 'now' and 'past',

and leave the future way behind.

move through dimensions unexplained -

the palace of eternity.

wisdom's books i search

in these temples of sphinx.

pyramides of peace -

meaningless time... no such thing as time.



quietly trace him slowly,

and finally i confront him.

he silently gazes with a piercing look;

i'm overpowered and struck by anxiety.

his charisma enlightens me,

his eyes tell tales i couldn't see.

sphinx is superior to my fate;

he motions me, though no word is said.

one last glance, he turns away, and spreads his wings.

slowly rising, soars up to the heights.

the brightest star yet seen comes into sight.



ancient tales have told

of sphinx on his throne,

create an aura unique.

his superior mind... doesn't need space or time.

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Oh No, Not My Baby

(Gerry Goffin & Carole King)



When my friends told me you had someone new

I didn't believe a single word was true

I told them all I had a faith in you

I kept right on saying



[Chorus:]

Oh no, not my baby

Oh no, not my sweet baby

After all the love we found

She would never ever let me down



My momma told me

When rumors spread

There's truth somewhere

And I should use my head

But I didn't listen to what she said

I just kept right on saying



Oh no, not my baby

Oh no, not my sweet baby

There was no one in this whole world

Could make me believe I'd lost my girl



Now I never asked you for whole alibis

I know those rumors were only lies

The truth was right there in your eyes

Now I'm so glad I kept on saying



[Chorus]



Oh no, not my baby

Oh no, not my sweet baby

Oh no, not my baby

Oh no, not my sweet baby

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Someone

Ruby says she does not dream

She says she's seen it all before

Outside the night is cold and wet

Don't know if we can take much more



Is there someone?

Someone?



She says:

Someone is calling,

Someone is calling for me.

She says:

I got some feelings so different

No one else can see.

She says

She says



Streets are empty every day

No longer can you see the sun

You're running home before the morning light

There is a new age that has just begun



Is there someone?

Someone?



She says:

Someone is calling,

Someone is calling for me.

She says:

I got some feelings so distant

No one else can see.

She says

She says

POWER STATION lyrics - Fancy That

You see that girl over there -

With big sunglasses on?

She can't take her eyes offa you

She's up and down 'bout seven times to the john

She's about to turn around her baseball hat



Just fancy that



You see that girl over there -

With the predatory stare?

She's about to make her big gambit - watch it

She's got a dangerous air - don't watch her

You know she wants you to

Better turn around before she makes her play



Just fancy that



You see that girl over there -

With the high-heel sneakers on?

She's been looking at you side long for half an hour

If you ask me, you better call a taxi and get uptown

You don't wanna wake up with a fatal disease



Just fancy that



Better cool your jets 'fore you lose your cool

Better hedge your bets or you'll look like a fool

Don't get all wound up, you're too out of it

Better settle up before you lose your wits



You see that teenager with no inhibitions on?

She's about to come and test the strength -

Of your resolve and how

She's got an ugly friend for insurance in the crowd

It's a game, a tease, she'll only sneer

If you try a pass



Just fancy that

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Coming Home To See You

You're very much like your mother

And that's a natural fact

But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife

Or anyone like that



And you don't look much like your sister

'Cause she's all big and fat

But don't breath a word to your mean all dad

'Cause I'll be gone midnight



I'm coming home to see you early in the morning

All be around and all the? birdtrades? today

I'm coming home to see your hard day darling

All aboard, all aboard

Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station

Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane

Don't want to see you with tour goddamn relations

That's all for now, I'll se you, chiao

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Join Together

When you hear the sound a coming

Hear the drummer drumming

I want you to join together with the band

We don't move in any 'ticular direction

And we don't make no collection

Won't you join together in the band



Do you really care

What you eat or what you wear

We want you to join together in the band

There's a million ways to laugh

And every one is a path

Come on and join together in the band



We want you to join together

We want you to join together

We want you to join together in the band

Come on and join

Come on and join

Come on and join together in the band

Come on and join



You don't have to play

You can follow or lead the way

Just want you to join together in the band

We don't know where we're going

But the season's right for knowing

Come on and join together in the band

Come on and join

Come on and join



It's the singer not the song

That makes the music move along

Come on and join together in the band

This is the biggest band you'll find

We're so deep and we're wide

I want you to join together in the band

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Forever

So many faces, I've kissed before

Hope and illusion, I fed and ignored

Constantly hunting, craving the new

I've caused so much pain, a sad thing to do

39 seasons it took me to know

'til I figured out, which way I should go

Knowing the way, it sure ain't enough

But having found you, I've changed so much



Rather later, then never at all

I drop my defenses, catch my fall

I'm praying to God, that you're the one

The perfect match, my fear is gone



Nothing else matters, I'll give up control

The time I've wasted, If only I had known

Here I surrender, take my heart

Forever with you, in peace and love



[Chorus:]

A diamond I have found

So innocent and true

An everlasting love

Forever me and you



As simple it may sound

I'm so in love with you

My heart is crying out

Forever me and you

ELOY lyrics - Between The Times

Between the times

I'm rolling like a steamer on far away ocean

I fear the times

and fear the deadly wave of memory-explosion

fighting against pictures of emotion

I'll try to embrace the sun

see sunbeam - hair see Jeanne

your lightly body twinkles in fun

what do you know? - my sun!?

Between the times

the tempting bells were carried by eight purple horses

I fear the times

surviving rules were set by really unknown forces

I'm blinded by my pain

see sunbeam - hair again

your eyes, cold drops of rain

what do you know? - my pain!?

HAWKWIND lyrics - Warriors

(Moorcock / House / King / Powell)



We are the warriors at the edge of time

We are Humanity's scythe to sweep this way and that

And cut the Enemy down as weeds

We are Humanity's spade to dig up the roots wherever they have grown

We are Humanity's fire to burn the waste to the finest ash

We are the wind which will blow the ash away

As if it had never existed

We will destroy those Enemies

But we must first know the Enemies

And the Enemies are the devils that hide in our minds

And make us less than happy

They make us less than happy

We are the warriors at the edge of time

We are the veterans of a savage truth

We are the lost

We are the last

We are the betrayed

We are the betrayed

We are the betrayed................

U. D.O. lyrics - Freelance Man

You are a nothing and deceased

You ain't alive at all

Don't try to be sensible

I'll bang your head on the wall



I got no time to be locked in

I'm a dangerous son

You're always second

I'm the number one



Hail the battle

Take a bow

Monumental

Gonna stand my ground

I'm gonna stand my ground



'cause I'm a freelance man

I ain't walking I ain't talking tonight

Heart of steel - twisted feel - I'm no easy ride

You will never ever lock me up tight



'cause I'm a freelance man

And I'm breaking and I'm taking tonight

No mistake - don't dictate - I'm no easy ride

Don't you never ever lock me up tight



I'm always doing what I lease

I'm always having a ball

You make me contemptible

I'll bury you in a hole



It's better you to be locked in

I'll be a terrible guard

You'll never matter



I'm still the number one



Hail the battle, ...



'cause I'm a freelance man, ...



Turn on your brain before you talk

It was no secret what I am

You rue the day - you've been done over

I'm just a freelance man



Hail the battle, ...



'cause I'm a freelance man, ...

THE CURE lyrics - Seventeen Seconds

Time slips away

And the light begins to fade

And everything is quiet now

Feeling is gone

And the picture disappears

And everything is cold now

The dream had to end

The wish never came true

And the girl

Starts to sing



Seventeen seconds

A measure of life

Seventeen seconds

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - The Wretched

Just a reflection

Just a glimpse

Just a little reminder

Of all the what abouts

And all the might have

Could have beens

Another day

Some other way

But not another reason to continue

And now you're one of us

The wretched



The hopes and prays

The better days

The far aways

Forget it



It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?



Now you know

This is what it feels like

Now you know

This is what it feels like



The clouds will part and the sky cracks open

And god himself will reach his fucking arm

Through

Just to push you down

Just to hold you down

Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss

And it's hard to believe it could come down to this

Back at the beginning

Sinking

Spinning



And in the end

We still pretend

The time we spend

Not knowing when

You're finally free

And you could be



But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to

It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it



Now you know

This is what it feels like

Now you know

This is what it feels like



You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming

You can try to stop it but

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Damned To Be Free

Death and the shadow that it casts on life scares me little or none.

People tell me of a divine right and the happy chosen one.

I'm a freak 'cause my morals clash with others in the world.

I go home while they work hard, then they same I'm wrong.

There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy.

If their sins affected me, I gotta be damned to be free.

Freedom is responsibility, pay more than it's worth.

Instincts tells us not to die, hazy myth since birth.

Learn their rules, play their game, deceive yourself in haste.

Turn your own brain into dust; it's not theirs to waste.

There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy.

Extract the nectar, burn the tree, I gotta be damned to be free

Thinking... This world it ain't so bad.

Dying... It's just another fad.

Working... 8 hours, that's not for me.

Dying... It's just your destiny.

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Without Your Love

(Barry Gibb & Ashley Gibb)



I look around and I can't speak

I am in silence, and my world is hollow

Pretending to be living there

And maybe there was something between us

I cannot see beyond your face

What I am searching for is someone's shadow

And in the forest of the night

Am I unwise to let the story end



I would not hurt you

I would could never

Your dark became my night

I would not walk one step without you ever

I would not be alive today

Without your love

Along the way



You try one dive

You pull out

You should understand

Your shooting from the heart when your dreaming



For one moment there is someone loving me

And no one else can change that place and time

You go through the motion

But all your emotion is gone



You made me yours., I made you mine

And if I make this promise I deliver

Beneath it all I know

That looking back I lived on your laughter

And there were diamonds in the dust

And there were moments we could never follow

And in the morning rain

I always told you at the closing of the day



I will not leave you

I would never

Your dark becomes my light

I will not take one step without you ever

I would not be alive today

Without your love... Without your love

Along the way...

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Feelin'

When you give what's in your heart

To the one you love

You want them to give their love back to you

When every kiss and every smile

Mean the world to you

Then you've got it bad

Don't need a cure for what you're going through

This feelin' inside you can't let it hide



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'



'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy

When every look and touch

Makes you come undone

And you can't believe this feelin' is real

When the sound of someone's name

Gives you butterflies

Don't wander why 'cause you can be sure

That you're in love

This feelin' inside you can't let it hide



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy



Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy



Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

STATUS QUO lyrics - Pictures Of Matchstick Men

(F. Rossi)



When I look up to the skies

I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow

I rush home to bed I soak my head

I see your face underneath my pillow

I wake next morning tired still yawning

See your face come peaking through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you

Mirages of matchstick men and you

All I ever see is them and you



[guitar intro]



Windows echo your reflection

When I look in their direction gone

When will this haunting stop

Your face it just wont leave me a-lone

Pictures of matchstick men and you

Mirages of matchstick men and you

All I ever see is them and you

You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie

You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie



[guitar intro]



Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...

PHISH lyrics - Contact

The tires are the things on your car

That make contact with the road

The car is the thing on the road

That takes you back to your abode



The tires are the things on your car

That make contact with the road

Bummed is what you are

When you go out to your car and it's been towed



I woke up one morning in November

And I realized I love you

It's not your headlights in front

Your tailpipe, or the skylight above you

It's the way you cling to the road

When the wind tries to shove you

I'd never go riding away

And come back home without you

TESLA lyrics - Lady Luck

With a snap in her style and a click in her heels.

In seconds flat my heart she could steal.

Lookin' ev'ry bit of a where it's at.

More like breakfast, lunch and dinner, as a matter of fact.

Mm. There she stood in living color, standin' all alone.

So I walked up to her, I say, "How do you do?"

And she said, "I don't".



Lady Luck took a walk.

When all I wanted was some company.

Lady Luck took a walk.

You know she walks right out on me.

Hard as it seems, but not as hard to believe.

What can it be?

I guess I'm on a losin' streak.



And I know it's true, I got a bad attitude.

But I'm down on my luck. Bitch, tell me, what's your excuse?

Tell me now.



Lady Luck took a walk.

When all I wanted was some company.

Lady Luck took a walk.

You know she walks right out on me.



Lady Luck took a walk.

When all I wanted was some company.

Lady Luck took a walk.

You know she walks right out on me.



Lady Luck (Lady Luck) took a walk. (took a walk)

[Fade Out]

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Oregon

Oregon is bad

Stop it if you can

Here it comes

Here it comes

Now it's after you

Flee to someplace new

Run away

Run away



From the penthouse to the prison

to the humble piedaterre

Are they taking up the cry

In the brothel

In the castle

On the crowded boulevard

Do they sing the dreadful words



Oregon is bad

Stop it if you can

Here it comes

Here it comes



Oregon is bad

Stop it if you can

Run away

Run away

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Reflections (Care Enough)

Reflections of your love

Have come to wither

I thought I'd done my best to memorize

A picture fades of you and I together

I haven't come to terms

With how we said goodbye



Did you really care

Care for me at all

Did you really care

Did you care for me at all



A displaced little girl

Wept years in silence

And whispered wishes you'd materialize

She pressed on night and day

To keep on living

And tried to many ways

To keep her soul alive



Did you really care

Care enough for me

Did you really care

Did you care at all for me



If I'm not quite good enough

Or somehow undeserving of

A mother's love

You could have had the decency

To give me up

Before you gave me life



Don't you even care

Just the slightest bit for me

Cause I really need to feel you cared

Even once upon a time for me

I need to believe, in my heart of hearts, you care for me

I need to understand

Why you left me there so helplessly



Don't you even care

Care at all for me



Reflections of your love

Have come to wither

I thought I'd done my best to memorize

BIG BILL BROONZY lyrics - Big Bill Blues

(Big Bill Broonzy)



I got up this mornin', feelin' sad and blue

I lost my baby now tell me, what I'm goin' to do

You know I'm so lonesome,

Way these blues keep doggin' me

Yeah baby but that's all right,

I will be up someday



When my baby left me, she left me broken down

She said "Goodbye Big Bill, I will see you in another town"

Now you know I'm lonesome,

Way these blues keep doggin' me

I says that's all right,

Big Bill will be up someday



Now I've got to walk by myself, and sleep by myself,

On account the one I'm lovin',

She keep on lovin' someone else

You know I'm lonesome,

Way these blues keep doggin' me

Yeah, but that's all right,

Baby I will be up someday



If I'd had listened at what my mother said,

And did what she said,

I'd been home now, sleepin' in a great big bed

'Cause I'm lonesome,

Way these blues keep doggin' me

Yeah but that's all right,

Baby I will be up someday



The men was put on earth to rule, but women are ruling too

Sometimes I wonder what a poor man gonna do

'Cause I'm lonesome,

Way these blues keep doggin' me

Yeah but that's all right,

Way these blues is doggin' me

THE WHO lyrics - Who Are You

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?



I woke up in a Soho doorway

A policeman knew my name

He said "You can go sleep at home tonight

If you can get up and walk away"



I staggered back to the underground

And the breeze blew back my hair

I remember throwin' punches around

And preachin' from my chair



[chorus:]

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)



I took the tube back out of town

Back to the Rollin' Pin

I felt a little like a dying clown

With a streak of Rin Tin Tin



I stretched back and I hiccupped

And looked back on my busy day

Eleven hours in the Tin Pan

God, there's got to be another way



Who are you?

Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa...



Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?

Who are you?

Who, who, who, who?



[chorus]



I know there's a place you walked

Where love falls from the trees

My heart is like a broken cup

I only feel right on my knees



I spit out like a sewer hole

Yet still recieve your kiss

How can I measure up to anyone now

After such a love as this?



[chorus]

AC/DC lyrics - If You Want Blood (You Got It)

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)



It's criminal

There ought to be a law

Criminal

There ought to be a whole lot more

You get nothin' for nothin'

Tell me who can you trust

We got what you want

And you got the lust

If you want blood, you got it

If you want blood, you got it

Blood on the streets

Blood on the rocks

Blood in the gutter

Every last drop

You want blood

You got it

Yes you have



It's animal

Livin' in the human zoo

Animal

The shit that they toss to you

Feelin' like a christian

Locked in a cage

Thrown to the lions

On the second page

If you want blood, you got it

If you want blood, you got it

Blood on the street

Blood on the rocks

Blood in the gutter

Every last drop

You want blood

You got it

O positive



Blood on the rocks

Blood on the streets

Blood in the sky

Blood on the sheets

If you want blood

You got it



I want you to bleed for me



If you want blood, you got it

If you want blood, you got it

If you want blood, you got it

If you want blood, you got it

SANTANA lyrics - Well, All Right

(Petty, Alison, Holly, Mauldin)



Well, all right so I'm being foolish

Well, all right let people know

About the dreams and wishes you wish

In the night when the lights are low



Well, all right, well all right

We'll live and love with all our might

Well, all right, well all right

Our lifetime love will be all right



Well, all right, so I'm going steady

It's all right when people say

That those foolish kids cant be ready

For the love that comes their way



Well, all right, well all right

We'll live and love with all our might

Well, all right, well all right

Our lifetime love will be all right

Repeat last verse

THE BLUE RIDGE RANGERS lyrics - Today I Started Loving You Again

(Haggard/Owens)



[Chorus:]

Well, today I started lovin' you again,

I'm right back where I've really always been.

I got over you just long enough, to let my heartache mend,

Then today, I started lovin' you again.



What a fool I was to think I could get by,

With only these few million tears I've cried.

I should have known the worst was yet to come,

And that cryin' time for me, had just begun.



[Chorus]

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Nine Hundred Miles

Well I'm ridin' on this train, I've got tears in my eyes

Tryin' to read a letter from my home

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow



Well this train I ride on is a hundred coaches long

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow



Now if you say so, I will railroad no more

Sidetrack my train and go home

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

MEN AT WORK lyrics - Hard Luck Story

Don't ask me to love my neighbour

Cause I don't love the man

Don't ask me for my favours

I won't lend a hand

And if I had real power

Then I could disappear

Wouldn't have to be around you

I'd sink into the atmosphere



Then I wouldn't hear

Your hard luck story

It's a hard luck, a hard luck story



Don't ask me to tip the waiter

For he is underhand

I can tell he is a woman hater

And he is a nasty man

Within reach lies all desire

For each and every soul

Stripped bare and stretching higher

You fall into the last balck hole



To end your hard

Hard luck story

It's a hard luck

Hard luck story



Don't ask me to pray to Jesus

I've never met the man

I only meet weekend preachers

Pictures of the promised land

All the new holy saviours

Who pretend to understand

Who do you think will save you

Modern day beggar man



Such a hard luck

Hard luck story

It's a hard luck

Hard luck story



It's such a hard

Hard luck story

It's a hard luck

Hard luck story



Don't ask me to love my neighbour

Don't ask me to tip the waiter

Don't ask me to pray to Jesus

He picked his time to leave us



It's a hard luck

Hard luck story

It's a hard luck

Hard luck story

It's a hard luck story

Hard luck story

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Full Of Grace

(Sarah McLachlan)



["Moll Flanders" soundtrack]



The winter here's cold and bitter,

It's chilled us to the bone.

We haven't seen the sun for weeks,

Too long, too far from home.

I feel just like I'm sinking,

And I claw for solid ground.

I'm pulled down by the undertow,

I never thought I could feel so low,

And, oh, darkness, I feel like letting go.



If all of the strength and all of the courage

Come and lift me from this place.

I know I can love you much better than this:

Full of grace, Full of grace, my love.



It's better this way,

I said,

Haven't seen this place before.

Where everything we say and do,

Hurts us all the more.

It's just that we stayed too long

In the same old sickly scheme,

And I'm pulled down by the undertow,

I never thought I could feel so low,

And, oh, darkness, I feel like letting go.



If all of the strength and all of the courage

Come and lift me from this place

I know I can love you much better than this:

Full of grace, full of grace.



I know I can love you much better than this.



It's better this way.

JERMAINE JACKSON lyrics - True Lovers

You know girl, all my life

I've been looking for someone like you

And you know true love

Iis so hard to find



Since we've been together

True love is forever

So let's be lovers for life



We're meant for each other ain't no doubt in my mind

We were put here together that's the way love's designed

So that we could be happy it's up to us to decide

This incredible feeling could be passing us by

What's the point in giving up when, when we're doing fine

We don't need to be lonely when our love is so right

I wanna be true



[Chorus:]

True lovers who care for each other let's be two

Two lovers, lovers for life I wanna be true

True lovers who cherish each other, lovers forever,

True lovers for life



I know what makes you happy, I know what makes you cry

I know how to excite you mke it last thru the night

All that we been through it's been me and you

You stood right by my side



Don't you think that it would be crazy if we just let it all die

What's the point in giving up when we're doing fine

We don't need to be lonly when our love is so right

I wanna be true



[Chorus]



Didn't it seem like things were just right

Didn't we have it all

Tell me girl what went wrong, why couldn't we hold on

Didnt it feel right, didn't seem like, didn't we have a ball

What is the point in love, if we're giving up

Can't we just be strong, why can't we be true



[Chorus]



Now we're treu lovers for life

True lovers for life

Yes we're true lovers for life

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Out Of Range

Leaving town I found a flower that I could deserve

Someone moves and someone's bound to get their feelings hurt

I'm loving you, you're out of range

Wanted you you're out of range



As I walked out into a world I feel a sudden chill

I was bleeding put it good onto a daffodil

Loving you, you're out of range

Wanted to, you're out of range



I don't want too much more than

Than to be reborn

In the morning

Reborn so I can feel you

(beats me what's in this line...)

I feel you



I have your number and I dialed it up a hundred times

(once again.... ) crossed lines

Loving you, you're out of range

Wanted you, you're out of range



Skies of ecstacy we're breaking well I do believe

The tears of God were falling down upon my swollen cheeks

Loving you, you're out of range

Wanted you, you're out of range



I don't want too much more than

Than to be reborn

In the morning

Reborn so I can feel you

(beats me what's in this line...)

I feel you



I know it hurts when it's taken away

I tell you I could be living

Today with you or without you, ok

Washed by the rain and it's all gonna change



I don't want too much more than

Than to be reborn

In the morning

Reborn so I can feel you

(beats me what's in this line...)

I feel you [2x]

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Livin' For The Minute

Ohhhh, Yeah

There was a time when the day

turned into night

And I was barely just alive

And I remember walkin' in the

light

Just tryin' to reach the other side



I want to tell you what is on my

mind

No need to suffer, no need to

worry

All is forgiven and I hope you'll

find

That's the way life's supposed to

be



You better listen

You know where I've been

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

I need a vision, I won't live in sin

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

You better listen

You know where I've been

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute



And you don't know me, know me

at all

You don't know the man behind

the face



And now you call me, call me for

advice

But you don't hear a single thing

And now you wonder and I know

you realize

But you won't stop, and you won't

give in



I want to tell you what is on my

mind

No need to suffer, no need to

worry

All is forgiven and I hope you'll

find

That's the way life's supposed to

be



I'm livin'



You better listen

You know where I've been

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

I need a vision, I won't live in sin

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

This time



And you don't know me, know me

at all

You don't know the man behind

the face



And now you call me, call me for

advice

But you don't hear a single thing

And now you wonder and I know

you realize

But you won't stop, and you won't

give in



All is forgiven and I hope you'll

find

That's the way life's supposed to

be



You better listen

You know where I've been

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

I need a vision, I won't live in sin

I've been livin' for the minute

Livin' for the minute

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Run For The Roses

Born in the valley and raised in the trees

Of Western Kentucky on wobbly knees

With mama beside you to help you along

You'll soon be a-growing up strong

All the long, lazy mornings in pastures of green

The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane

Could never prepare you for what lies ahead

The run for the roses so red



[Chorus:]

And it's run for the roses as fast as you can

Your fate is delivered, your moment's at hand

It's the chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of chance

And it's high time you joined in the dance

It's high time you joined in the dance



From sire to sire, it's born in the blood

The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud

It's breeding and it's training and it's something unknown

That drives you and carries you home



[Chorus]

TAVARES lyrics - Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel

Missin' one angel child

THE KINKS lyrics - Here Comes Flash

[Sung by Chorus and Scared Housewives]



You'd better run, you'd better fly.

Hide your daughters, hide your wives.

Lock your doors and stay inside

Here comes Flash.



There's no way that you can win,

You must obey his every whim,

Or else he's going to do you in.

Here comes Flash.



He will smile at you, be a friend to you,

Then he's gonna screw you just like that.

He is going to use you, his heavies will abuse you,

And then he's gonna lean on you,

Here comes Flash.



He is gonna rough you up,

Duff you up and touch you up,

And then he's gonna screw you up.

Even though he's mean on you,

There's nothing else that you can do

Just sit back and take his abuse.

He will smile at you, be so sweet to you.

Then he's gonna cheat on you.



You'd better run, you'd better fly.

Hide your daughters, hide your wives.

Lock your doors and stay inside.

Here comes Flash.



Once we loved and trusted him,

Now his thugs and bullies make us live in sin.

They suppress us, oppress us, molest us, possess us.



You'd better run, you'd better fly.

Hide your daughters, hide your wives.

And lock your doors and stay inside.



He will smile at you, be a friend to you,

Then he's gonna screw you just like that.



You'd better run, you'd better fly.

Hide your daughters, hide your wives.

And lock your doors and stay inside.

Here comes Flash.



There's no way that you can win,

You must obey his every whim

Or else he's going to do you in.

Here Comes Flash.

Here Comes Flash.

SPINAL TAP lyrics - Bitch School

You been bad, don't do what I say

You don't listen, you never obey

I try to teach you, but you just won't be good



You won't behave the way a big girl should

It's time to give that whip a crack

I'm gonna have to send you back to



Bitch School, Bitch School



You're a beauty, you're the best of your breed

You're a handful and I know what you need

You need training, gonna bring you to heel



I'm gonna break you with my will of steel

Discipline's my middle name

And no one comes back the same from



Bitch School, Bitch School



No more sniffing strangers or running free at night

You think my bark's bad, honey

Wait till you feel my bite, wait till you feel my bite



You got problems, you whine and you beg

When I'm busy, you wanna dance with my leg

I'm gonna chain you, make you sleep out of doors



You're so fetchin' when you're down on all fours

And when you hear your master

You will come a little faster, thanks to



Bitch School, Bitch School, Bitch School

Come on, I will take you back to

Bitch School, good girl

THE BANGLES lyrics - If She Knew What She Wants

Oooooh.



If she knew what she wants

(He'd be giving it to her)

If she knew what she needs

(He could give her that too)

If she knew what she wants

(But he can't see through her)

If she knew what she wants

He'd be giving it to her

Giving it to her.



But she wants everything

(He can pretend to give her everything)

Or there's nothing she wants

(She don't want to sort it out)

He's crazy for this girl

(But she don't know what she's looking for)

If she knew what she wants

He'd be giving it to her

Giving it to her.



I'd say her values are corrupted

But she's open to change

Then one day she's satisfied

And the next I'll find her crying

And it's nothing she can explain.



If she knew what she wants

(He'd be giving it to her)

If she knew what she needs

(He could give her that too)

If she knew what she wants

(But he can't see through her)

If she knew what she wants

He'd be giving it to her

Giving it to her (giving it to her).



Some have a style

That they work hard to refine

So they walk a crooked line

But she won't understand

Why anyone would have to try

To walk a line when they could fly.



No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her

When she's fine, fine, fine

She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head

She doesn't need nothing from mine.



If she knew what she wants

(He'd be giving it to her)

If she knew what she needs

(He could give her that too)

If she knew what she wants

(But he can't see through her)

If she knew what she wants

He'd be giving it to her

Giving it to her.



But she wants everything

(He can pretend to give her everything)

Or there's nothing she wants

(She don't want to sort it out)

He's crazy for this girl

(But she don't know what she's looking for)

If she knew what she wants

He'd be giving it to her

Giving it to her.



(He'd be giving it to her)

(He could give her that too)

(But he can't see through her)

Ooooooh

Giving it to her

Giving it to her now.

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - I've Got A Rock 'N' Roll Heart

(Troy Seals, Eddie Setser and Steve Diamond)



I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;

Right at this moment, I could promise you the world.

Before we go crazy, before we explode,

There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know,

You got to know.



[Chorus:]

I get off on '57 Chevys;

I get off on screaming guitar.

Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.

I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart.



Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,

So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.

I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;

Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change,

I don't want to change.



[Chorus]



I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood,

All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.



[Chorus]

TOM VERLAINE lyrics - The Scientist Writes A Letter

(Verlaine)



Dear Julia,

Unless chance finds us face to face again, this

is the last you'll hear from me. I spent this Sunday,

a long afternoon, freezing at my friend's house by

the sea. We men of science... you know. I've returned

to my research in magnetic fields. It's funny how attractive

indifference can be. My sense of failure... it's not so

important. Electricity means so much more to me. We men

of science... you know...

It's snowing again, seems like it's always snowing. Sit

down to write and it's so cold. Outside my window, there's

a tree so white I can hardly look at it.

It's quiet here. I look thru my glass at patterns

all so well defined. Please send my winter coat soon as you can

...I find I have no other lines... we men of science... you know...

all the best.. all the best, Julia
