RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Beat Angels

Begging round the sun beaten streets

I can't make me no connections

Locals here no speak no English

Where is my woman, well no one knows

Ah well, some girls just have to leave in the night

While you're fast asleep

But I don't worry, I move in the dark

There were lights, there were border lights

I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing

I saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there



I woke in some hotel room

I could hardly remember my name

They were only sixteen years old

I felt so lonely, I felt so ashamed



I know sometimes I just have to leave

In the night, while you're fast asleep

But I don't worry, I move in the dark

There were lights, there were border lights

I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing

I turned around, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there



Don't you wonder where one goes wrong

Is it somewhere in a foreign rain?

We're sitting out the storm

Every lamplight in town

Man don't know when he's got it his grace

Till beat angels come and take her away, beat angels, beat angels

Well I crossed my heart and beat angels were there, beat angels?

CHER lyrics - Will You Love Me Tomorrow?

Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow



Is this a lasting treasure

Or a moment's pleasure

Should I believe the magic of your sigh

Will you still love me tomorrow



Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the morning's sun



I like to know that your love

Is a love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow



So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

TOM WAITS lyrics - I Wish I Was In New Orleans (In The Ninth Ward)

Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams,

Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me



Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen

To that tenor saxophone calling me home

And I can hear the band begin "When the Saints Go Marching In",

And by the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans, I'll be there



I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,

The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice

And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,

Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans, I'll be there



And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,

And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all



And I wish I was in New Orleans, 'cause I can see it in my dreams,

Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me

New Orleans, I'll be there

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Rocks And Gravel

Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road,

Make a solid road.

Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road,

Make a solid road.



Takes a good woman mama,

To satisfy my weary soul.



Have you ever been down on that Mobil and K. C. line,

Have you ever been down on that Mobil and K. C. line?



Well I just wanna ask you,

If you seen that gal of mine,

Don't the clouds look lonesome shining across the sea,

Don't the clouds look lonesome shining across the sea,

Don't my gal look good,

When she's comin' after me?

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Send Me Somebody To Love

Well I've been a little lazy, been a little crazy

On the road most of my life

Got me some stories, moments of glory

But it cost me the love of my life



Now I'm stuck in this small town, without a soul around

Who understands the things that I've done

It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same

Won't you send me somebody to love



Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love



I've been all 'round the world, and known so many girls

Had more than my share of good times

I'm quick with a whip, I just roll when I'm hit

Move on to friendlier clime's



And love when it leaves you, will burn you then freeze you

I shiver to think that she's gone

It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same

Won't you send me somebody to love



Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love



You can send in the clowns and all the girls in their gowns

They'd fill me for a night or two

When it gets this low and I'm scrapin' my soul

I need someone I can talk to



Oh so won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love



Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love

Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody

Send me somebody to love

EUROPE lyrics - Got To Have Faith

The race is on

I found my way

Something has changed since I've been away

The fear is gone

and I can't wait

I feel the rut, still got dues to pay



Well I had enough

Gonna stand up straight

Rebuild my life

Well you gotta have faith

and it will be tough

gonna fight each day

'til I'm back on top

Well you gotta have faith



Full speed ahead

I waste no time

Now I know how to live my life

I've been knocked down - come back around

It put some soul in this heart of mine



Well I had enough

Gonna stand up straight

Rebuild my life

Well you gotta have faith

and it will be tough

gonna fight each day

'til I'm back on top

Well you gotta have faith



I get the feelin'

I can go that extra mile

I get the feelin'

I can reach that open sky

I get the feelin'

Things will never be the same

I get the feelin'

That I can WIN again!



Well I had enough

Gonna stand up straight

Rebuild my life

Well you gotta have faith

and it will be tough

gonna fight each day

'til I'm back on top

Well you gotta have faith

Well you gotta have faith

Well you gotta have faith

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Common Sense

You can't live together

You can't live alone

Considering the weather

Oh my, how you've grown

From the men in the factories

To the wild kangaroo

Like those birds of a feather

They're gathering together

And feeling

Exactly like you



They got mesmerized

By lullabies

And limbo danced

In pairs

Please lock that door

It don't make much sense

That common sense

Don't make no sense

No more



Just between you and me

It's like pulling

When you ought to be shovin,

Like a nun

With her head in the oven

Please don't tell me

That this really wasn't nothing



One of these days

One of these nights

You'll take off your hat

And they'll read you

Your rights

You'll wanna get high

Every time you feel low

Hey, Queen Isabella

Stay away from that fella

He'll just get you

Into trouble, you know?



But they came here by boat

And they came here by plane

They blistered their hands

And they burned out their brain

All dreaming a dream

That'll never come true

Hey, don't give me no trouble

Or I'll call up my double

We'll play piggy-in-the-middle

With you



You'll get mesmerized

By alibis

And limbo dance in pairs

Please lock that door

It don't make much sense

That common sense

Don't make no sense

No more

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Then And Only Then

(Bill Anderson)



In your haste you left and said you'd be returnin'

In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when

In my lonely room I sit and count the hours

Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in

For then and only then will I stop cryin'

And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend

Not until I feel your arms around me will I be happy and I live for then and only then

[ steel ]

All that's left inside my heart is just your echo

And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling

But if I keep holding on maybe some day

You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

For then and only then...

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Busted

Well, the bills are all due and the babies needs shoes, we're busted

We've had a hard time since they closed down the mines, we're busted

Got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that get bigger each day

Tomorrow they'll haul our belongings away, we're busted



Well, our friends are all leavin' this ol' mining town, we're busted

They're headin' up north where there's work to be found and trusted

Lord, I hate to give up this acre of land

It's been in the family since minin' began

But babies get hungry, they don't understand we're busted

We're busted, yes, we're busted

We're headin' up north and we ain't coming back, we're busted



I called brother John, thought I'd ask for a loan, we was busted

Lord, I had to beg like a dog for a bone, but we're busted

Brother John lost his job and his rent's overdue

His wife and his kids are all down with the flu

He said, "I was thinkin' of callin' on you, I'm busted"

Found on OldieLyrics. com

Lord no, my old man's no thief, but a good man turns bad when he's busted

My babies ain't well and it's drivin' me mad 'cause we're busted

Gonna sell that ol' Guernsey and give up this shack

Come on now children, help mama get packed

We're headin' up north and we ain't comin' back, we're busted

We're busted, yes we're busted

We're headin' up north and we ain't coming back, we're busted

THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS lyrics - Time Has Come Today

Time has come today young hearts can go

Their way can't put it off another day

I don't care what others say they say we

Don't listen anyway time has come today, hey



The room has changed today I have no place to stay

I'm thinking about the subway my love has blown away

My tears have come and gone oh, Lord I got to run

I got no home no, I have no home



Now the time has come nowhere (place) to run

Might get burned up by the sun but I'll have my fun

I've been loved, pushed (put) aside I've been crushed

By tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized

Now the time has come there are things to realize

Time has come today

Time has come today

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - It's My Party

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

Judy left the same time

Why was he holding her hand

When she's supposed to be mine



It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happend to you



Play all my records keep dancing all night

But leave me alone for a while

Til Johnny's dancing with me

I have no reason to smile



It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



Judy and Johnny just walk through that door

Like a queen with her king

Oh, what surprise

Judy's wearing his ring



It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

THE KINKS lyrics - God's Children

Man made the buildings that reach for the sky

And man made the motorcar and learned how to fly

But he didn't make the flowers and he didn't make the trees

And he didn't make you and he didn't make me

And he got no right to turn us into machines

He's got no right at all

'Cause we are all God's children

And he got no right to change us

Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all



Don't want this world to change me

I wanna go back the way the good lord made me

Same lungs that he gave me to breath with

Same eyes he gave me to see with



Oh, the rich man, the poor man, the saint and the sinner

The wise man, the simpleton, the loser and the winner

We are all the same to Him

Stripped of our clothes and all the things we own

The day that we are born

We are all God's children

And they got no right to change us

Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made

Oh, the good lord made us all

And we are all his children

And they got no right to change us

Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all

Yeah, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all

SMOKIE lyrics - Love Take Me Away (Sleeping Beauty)

The thousand years she sleeped in bed

No one comes near, no one there

He's riding like the wind through the night

He's riding hard just to be by her side

The thousand years she stayed the same

Frozen in time, nothing has changed

His heart implied on the wind through the night

To kiss her lips, to restore her life

She's dreaming, she's crying



Love, take me away

Love, release these chains

Caress me like the wind

Hold me in your arms again

Ohhh, caress me, hold me close

Never let go



The Gods watch over them this night

True love will last, true love will shine

Yeah... Their chosen plied on the wind through the night

Two hearts as one,

beating in time, playing:



Love, take me away

Love, can read me say

Caress me like the wind

Hold me in your arms again

Ohhh, caress me, hold me close

Never let go

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Tom Dooley

(Traditional)



[Chorus:]

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley

Poor boy, you're bound to die



I met her on the mountain

I said she'd be my wife

I met her on the mountain

Stabbed her with my knife



[Chorus]



I drug her to the river

As God Almighty knows

The man beside the water

Hid her shoes and clothes



I dug her grave a footlong

I dug it three foot deep

I threw the cold clay on her

Tramped it with my feet



[Chorus]



'Bout this time tomorrow

Reckon where I'll be

Down there in that holler

Hangin' from a tree



[Chorus 5x]

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - If I Don't Love You This Way

(Pam Swayer / Leon Ware)



If I don't love you this way

If I don't love you this way



If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say, yeah

If I don't need you this much

Why do I ache for your touch, yeah



With you it seems

I can reach the stars

With reckless hopes and dreams

But you it seems

Still don't believe

How valuble you are

I'm really loving you

Not pretending to



If I don't love you this strong

Why do I beg to belong, yeah

How can you doubt that I care

When I'm with you everywhere, yeah



With you I find

I can close my eyes

To the world surrounding me

And you create

The sweetest things

That I could ever be

I'm really loving you

Not pretending to



If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say, yeah

If I don't need you this much

Why do I ache for your touch, yeah



You just have to smile

To make my life worth while

Doesn't that explain

That I'm playin' no games



If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say, yeah

If I don't need you this much

Why do I ache for your touch, yeah

BONFIRE lyrics - You'll Be Alright

Open your eyes - see how it feels

colourful moments of truth



Deep down inside - covered with lies

you'll find somebody to love - and that is you



Shattered by storms - intoxicated dreams

you've lost your vision of life



Easier said - to shake it loose - than it's done for you

Shake your head - and say no to things that made you feel so sad



CHORUS

I know - you'll be alright

just dare a new way in your life

I know - it'll turn out right

and love will cut you like a knife



Mystical tours - in occultism's world

one way ticket to hell



Love or hate - it can be your damnation or your salvation

turn your fate - dare a brandnew journey - into shining light



CHORUS



So you can call me a hypocrite,

a liar, an idiot, or a piece of shit

No matter what you'll say or do

I'll never give up telling you



CHORUS

I know - you'll be alright

just dare a new way in your life

I know - God will give you time

and love will cut you like a knife

TOTO lyrics - Holyanna

Your hair's a mess

You better put on a dress

And get your feet back on the ground

You fix your eyes

For some city guys

Who wouldn't save you if you drowned

You hang on Forty-second street

And do your homework in the bar

Saint Helen says you're missin' school

And I'm wond'rin' where you are



[Chorus:]

Holyanna

Holyanna

Girl, what you do to me

Holyanna

Holyanna

Girl, you're a blue-eyed mystery



You read your books

Until nobody looks

And then you slip out after dark

You steal my love

Then say you're sorry

And do your penance in the park

You fooled your mother when you skipped ballet

To paint your face for the midnight show

And in the morning you knelt beside your bed

And prayed she'd never know



[Repeat chorus]



[Instrumental break]



[Repeat chorus]

RUSH lyrics - Far Cry

(Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson & Neil Peart)



Pariah dogs and wandering madmen

Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues

The ebb and flow of tidal fortune

Electrical changes are charging up the door



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal

Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat

Slow degrees on the dark horizon

Full moon rising is ever at your feet



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

You can almost see the circuit growing

You can almost feel the planets glowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



One day I fly through a crack in the sky

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home...

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Countin' On A Miracle

It's a fairytale so tragic

There's no prince to break the spell

I don't believe in magic

But for you I will, for you I will

If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool

Darlin' for you



[Chorus:]

I'm countin' on a miracle

Baby I'm countin' on a miracle

Darlin' I'm countin' on a miracle

To come through



There ain't no storybook story

There's no never-ending song

Our happily ever after Darlin'

Forever come and gone

I'm movin' on

If I'm gonna believe

I'll put my faith

Darlin' in you



[Chorus]



Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream

With her lover's kiss on her lips

Your kiss was taken from me

Now all I have is this



Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch

Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength

Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith

Your face, your face, your love, your love

Your dream, your dream, your life, your life



I'm runnin' through the forest

With this wolf at my heels

My king is lost at midnight

When the tower bells peal

We've got no fairytale ending

In God's hands our fate is complete

Your heaven's here in my heart

Our love's this dust beneath my feet

Just this dust beneath my feet

If I'm gonna live

I'll life my life

Darlin' to you



[Chorus x4]

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Sing We Noel

Sing we now of Christmas. Noel sing we here. Sing our grateful praises to the maid so dear.



[Chorus:]

Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!



From the Eastern kingdoms come the wise men far. Bearing ancient treasure. Following yonder star.

From the distant mountains, hear the trumpet sound. With angelic blessings on the silent town.

Noel!



Come let us surround Him on this magic night. Gather here around Him. Wondrous Babe of light.

SAXON lyrics - All Hell Breaking Loose

Dark clouds gather in the east

Calm before the storm

The devil sends his messenger

Hurricane is born

Lightning strikes across the sky

The tempest has begun

Raging forces take conteol

Destruction soon will come



Tearing up smashing down rolling on and on

Smashing through getting close the time to run has gone

Twist an turn on its path

Crashing through your valley

This nature's killing ground

You're in tornado alley



All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection

All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection



Turn your heads towards the sky

And pray for your salvation

But you can't stop this mighty force

It's not of your creation

Death and chaos all around

This is not a dream

Caught inside the defening roar

No one hears you scream



Tearing up smashing down rolling on and on

Smashing through getting close the time to run has gone

Twist an turn on its path

Crashing through your valley

This nature's killing ground

You're in tornado alley



All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection

All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection



Lightning cracks across the sky

The tempest has begun

Raging forces high above

No where left to run

Dark clouds in the east

Calm before the storm

The devil sends his messenger

Hurricane is born



Tearing up smashing down rolling on and on

Smashing through getting close the time to run has gone

Twist an turn on its path

Crashing through your valley

This nature's killing ground

You're in tornado alley



All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection

All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

Screaming down across the sky

There is no protection, protection, protection



All hell breaking loose coming in your direction

All hell breaking loose

SLAYER lyrics - Darkness Of Christ

Mankind in his insatiable search for divine

Knowledge has discarded all biblical teachings



Realizing that the strength of religion is the repression of

knowledge

All structures of religion have collapsed



Life prays for death

in the wake of the horror of these revelations



It was never imagined how graphic the reality that would

be known as the end

of creation

Would manifest itself



We believe all this chaos and atrocity can be traced

Back to one single event



We hold these truths to be painfully self-evident

All men are not created equal

Only the strong will prosper

Only the strong will conquer

Only in the darkness of Christ have I realized

God Hates Us All

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - An Old-Fashioned Wedding

[Frank's Refrain:]

We'll have an old-fashioned wedding

Blessed in the good old-fashioned way



I'll vow to love you forever

You'll vow to love and honor and obey



Somewhere in some little chapel

Someday when orange blossoms bloom



We'll have an old-fashioned wedding

A simple wedding for an old-fashioned bride and groom



[Annie's Refrain (In Counterpoint):]

I wanna wedding in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls

A lot of ushers in tailcoats, reporters and photographers



A ceremony by a bishop who will tie the knot and say

"Do you agree to love and honor?" Love and honor, yes, but not obey



I wanna wedding ring surrounded by diamonds in platinum

A big reception at the Waldorf with champagne and caviar



I wanna wedding like the Vanderbilts have, ev'rything big, not small

If I can't have that kind of a wedding I don't wanna get married at all



[Codas (In Counterpoint):]

[Frank:]

We'll have an old-fashioned wedding



[Annie:]

If it's not a big wedding I don't wanna get married at all

RATT lyrics - Givin' Yourself Away

You say you don't want me

You say you don't care

You say that your heart

Ain't got no room for me there

You say you don't need me

But I know that it's just a lie

'Cause when you call me in the night

Tellin' me your life is better off without me

How come you're sleepin' all alone

Tellin' me you don't ever think about me...



Hey, you're givin' yourself away

It's there in every move you make

You can't hide your heartache away

Hey, it's somethin' you don't have to say

It's written in the tears on your face

I see through the part that you play

Your givin' yourself away...

Your givin' yourself away...

It doesn't matter what you say

Your givin' yourself away...

Your givin' yourself away...



So you got all your freedom

And you got all your time

So you got the illusion that your doin' fine

So you smile in the mirror

Through the sadness your smile can't disguise

Why don't you come right out and say

Baby you can't take another day without me

You know I'm runnin' through your blood

You need me like a drug and you can't live without me...



Hey, you're givin' yourself away

It's there in every move you make

You can't hide your heartache away

Hey, it's somethin' you don't have to say

It's written in the tears on your face

I see through the part that you play

Your givin' yourself away...

Your givin' yourself away...

It doesn't matter what you say

Your givin' yourself away...

Your givin' yourself away...



And when you call me in the night

Tellin' me your life is better off without me

I know that you're lyin' there alone

Baby cause I know you can't live without me

SKID ROW lyrics - Face Against My Soul

(Affuso, Bach, Bolan, Snake)



How can I see tomorrow if you keep me in the dark

When will I see forever if you damn me from the start

There must be a way to get through to your

Blackened heart



You build a wall inside a wall and there's no door



[Chorus:]

Lay your body by the water

Press your face against my soul

Wading through all your convictions

We can come in from the cold



Searching greener pastures, finding desert sands

Cycles on the treadmill turn up empty hands

Do I have to bloodlet just to get another chance



Inside of you there's a view that sees me there



[Chorus]

SPARKS lyrics - The Greatest Show On Earth

(Ron & Russell Mael)



Step right up and see her walkin' down the street, she's somethin'

Watch her check you out and see if you're complete, she's somethin'

See her tap her foot to nothin' but your heavy breathing

She's the greatest show on earth and I ain't ever leaving.



Cause she's the greatest show on earth tonight and every night

And she's worth it even when you gotta pay a heavy price

Cause she's the greatest show on earth tonight and every night

And she's worth it even when you got to push and shove and fight



You could bring together everyone for one big show

The Four Tops, MopTops, Boston Pops, and Art Laboe

Half a million people pushin' and the crowd says "go"

But I'd be up in my apartment with the greatest show



Cause she's the greatest show on earth tonight and every night

And she's worth it even when you gotta pay a heavy price

Cause she's the greatest show on earth tonight and every night

And she's worth it even when you got to push and shove and fight

KANSAS lyrics - On The Other Side

(Kerry Livgren)



The empty page before me now, the pen is in my hand

The words don't come so easy but I'm trying

I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line

They can slip away from us so quickly

Don't be unkind I'm not complaining

I only feel it needs explaining



(Chorus)

Though I've said it all before I'll say it once again (one more time)

Everyone needs something to believe in



So turn around, turn around it's on the other side

Feel the sound, feel the sound, it's coming from deep inside

It will fill you with emotion, if you let it be your guide so

Turn around; turn around, it's on the other side



I'm waiting for the day to end another to begin

Somehow I've forgotten what it stood for

I look into your face and see the searching in your eyes

I will he your servant till the end

The music plays, and for a moment I feel

That all there days an so fulfilling



(Chorus)



Desperation shows its ugly face in many ways

No one can escape the times we live in

The answers are so simple and we all know where to look

But it's easier to just avoid the question

And if I seem too inconclusive

It's just because it's so elusive



(Chorus)

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Right Where It Belongs

See the animal in his cage that you built,

Are you sure what side you're on?

Better not look him too closely in the eye,

Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?



See the safety of the life you have built,

Everything where it belongs.

Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,

And it's all,

Right where it belongs.



What if everything around you,

Isn't quite as it seems?

What if all the world you think you know,

Is an elaborate dream?



And if you look at your reflection,

Is that all you want to be?

What if you could look right through the cracks,

Would you find yourself,

Find yourself afraid to see?



What if all the world's inside of your head,

Just creations of your own?

Your Devils and your Gods,

All the living and the dead,

And you're really all alone?



You can live in this illusion,

You can choose to believe.

You keep looking but you can't find the words,

Now you're hiding in retreat.



What if everything around you,

Isn't quite as it seems?

What if all the world you used to know,

Is an elaborate dream?



And if you look at your relection,

Is that all you want to be?

What if you could look right through the cracks,

Would you find yourself,

Find yourself afraid to see?

THE KINKS lyrics - So Mystifying

You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying



Well, help me, baby, get a message through

You leave my mouth wide open with the things that you do

First you say you love me, then you say that we're through

You know you're so mystifying, can't believe it's true



You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying



You know that every time I see you walking down the street

You got a mystifying wiggle from your head to your feet

You got a shock wave pulsating rhythm through my brain

You know you're so mystifying, you just ain't the same



You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying



You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying



Well, mystify me by the way that you walk

You even mystify me by the way you talk

Go from one day to the next if you'll be mine

Oh, little woman, you are so mystifying



You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying

You know you're so mystifying

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - This Boy Has Been Hurt

(Dolly Parton/B. Owens)



I saw him picking up the pieces of his broken heart

And so I stopped to see what I could do

His heart had been run over by a reckless lover

She ran over it and broke it and left it black and blue

Tears were scattered everywhere he was trying to save his pride

He was the victim of a love and run

And I could plainly see that she had almost killed him

Left the scene of a broken heart not looking back at what she'd done



Oh, this boy has been hurt, I'll save him

I'll take his heart and mend it if I can

Oh, this boy has been hurt, I'll save him

I'll take his tears and dry them as fast as he can cry them

I'll heal his hurt and make him as good as new again

MINOR THREAT lyrics - Screaming At A Wall

I'm gonna knock it down

Anyway that I can

I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna yell

I don't wanna have to use my hands



It's like screaming at a wall

Someday it's gonna fall



You build that wall up around you

And now you can't see out

And now you can't hear my words

No matter how hard I shout



It's like screaming at a wall

Someday it's gonna fall

You're safe inside and you know it

'Cause I can't get to you

And you know I resent it

And my temper grows



You better reinforce those walls

Until you don't have room to stand

'Cause someday those bricks are gonna fall

Someday I'm gonna use my hands

KMFDM lyrics - Thumb Thumb

You know I like everything about you

The way your talking it's quite exciting

Keep it up and I hide my face

The way I'm eating is a social disgrace



I want a lot of this loving feeling

The way you trust me is like I was bleeding

It's really neat driving in this car

Shut the door

Let's hope to god we can get it right

I know a place we can rock alright

Nobody's gonna catch you and get a fright

You know the little girl who makes me the big one who takes me



But now it's later and I'm washing my hands

It's thee Irina the promised land

Fighting on a price

Sitting on a stump

Someone's gonna get you then a thumb thumb thumb



I mean it's funny when it gets so big

But I know you're gonna dig everything I give

For sure you say it's a lot of meat

But you when you get it all in it's a hell of a treat now now



Coz' I'm a man who's sick but I got class

Coz' you only get respect when you're kickin' ass

I'm a man who's sick but I got class

Coz' you only get respect when you're kickin' ass

Coz' I'm a man who's sick but I got class

Coz' you only get respect when you're kickin' ass

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Merry Christmas, Baby

(Brian Wilson)



My baby she told me

She don't want to hold me (oh, no!)

And kiss my lips anymore (unh-unh!)

She's gonna leave me

And she don't believe me

That I'll be true now



Well maybe she don't love me

And is not thinkin' of me

But why'd she do it this time of year?

She knows that I'll miss her

And I'll want to kiss her

If just for Christmas



Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby



Tell me, what did I do

To really convince you

That I'm not the guy anymore?

Take back my ring now

I'll do anything now

But please forgive me



I made my mistake but

I'm willing to wake up

And never mess around anymore

Oh why did we break up?

There's still time to make up

If just for Christmas



Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby



I made my mistake but

I'm willing to wake up

And never mess around anymore

Oh why did we break up?

There's still time to make up

If just for Christmas



Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

THE POGUES lyrics - Recruiting Sergeant

(Traditional)



As I was walking down the road

A feeling fine and larky oh

A recruiting sergeant came up to me

Says he, you'd look fine in khaki oh

For the King he is in need of men

Come read this proclamation oh

A life in Flanders for you then

Would be a fine vacation oh



That may be so says I to him

But tell me sergeant dearie-oh

If I had a pack stuck upon my back

Would I look fine and cheerie oh

For they'd have you train and drill until

They had you one of the Frenchies oh

It may be warm in Flanders

But it's draughty in the trenches oh



The sergeant smiled and winked his eye

His smile was most provoking oh

He twiddled and twirled his wee mustache

Says he, I know you're only joking oh

For the sandbags are so warm and high

The wind you won't feel blowing oh

Well I winked at a cailin passing by

Says I, what if it's snowing oh



Come rain or hail or wind or snow

I'm not going out to Flanders oh

There's fighting in Dublin to be done

Let your sergeants and your commanders go

Let Englishmen fight English wars

It's nearly time they started oh

I saluted the sergeant a very good night

And there and then we parted oh

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Con Questi Chiari Di Luna

Lei per me era un angelo

Lei per te era un angelo

Angelo

Un angelo

Era un angelo negro... come mai... ieah

Lei per me era un angelo

Lei per te era un angelo

Sweet

Un angelo

Ma era un angelo negro...

Era un uomo... oh

Per te!

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - No Action

I don't wanna kiss you. I don't wanna touch.

I don't wanna see you 'cause I don't miss you that much.

I'm not a telephone junkie.

I told you that we were just good friends.

But when I hold you like I hold that bakelite in my hands,

there's no action,

there's no action,

there's no action.

Ev'ry time I phone you, I just wanna put you down.



He's got the keys to the car.

They are the keys to the kingdom.

He's got ev'rything you need.

It's a shame that he didn't bring them.

I'm not a telephone junkie.

If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine.

And the things in my head start hurtin' my mind.

And I think about the way things used to be,

knowing you with him is driving me crazy.

Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely,

but I always disconnect it in time.

YARDBIRDS lyrics - I Ain't Got You

(Calvin Carter)



I got a Maserati G. T.

With snakeskin upholstery.

I got a charge account at Goldblatt's,

But I ain't got you.



I got a closet full of clothes,

But no matter where it goes,

It keeps a ring in the nose,

But I ain't got you.



I got a tavern and a liquor store.

I play the numbers, yeah, four forty-four.

I got a mojo, yeah, don't you know,

I'm all dressed up with no place to go.



I got women to the right of me.

I got women to the left of me.

I got women all around me,

But I ain't got you.

No, I ain't got you.



[Third Verse]



[Fourth Verse]



No I ain't got you.

THE STOOGES lyrics - Real Cool Time

Can I come over tonight?

Can I come over tonight?

What do you think I wanna do?

That's right

Can I come over tonight?

I say we will have a real cool time tonight

I say we will have a real cool time tonight

I say we will have a real cool time tonight

I say we will have a real cool time tonight

I said we will have a real cool time tonight

I said we will have a real cool time

We will have a real cool time

A real cool time tonight

LOU REED lyrics - Foggy Notion

He's over by the corner

got her hand by her side

They hit her harder, harder, harder

till they thought she might die



Well, I've got a foggy notion, do it again

oh, over by the corner, do it again

I've got my calamine lotion, baby, do it again

well, I've got a foggy notion, do it again



I'll do something that I never did before

I'll first track down to a flower store

I bought her a boundle, a beautiful badge

don't you know something, she sent it right back, alright



Sally Mae, Sally Mae

Sally Mae, Sally Mae, ooohhh

Sally Mae, Sally Mae

Sally Mae, Sally Mae, alright



He's over by the corner

got her hand by her side

They hit her harder, harder, harder

till they thought she might die



Well, I've got a foggy notion, do it again

over in the corner, do it again

I've got my calamine lotion, do it again

baby, I've got a foggy notion, do it again, ooohhh



She made me do something that I never did before

I rushed right down to a flower store

I bought her a boundle, a beautiful badge

now, baby, don't you know something, she sent it right back, ooohhh



Oh, Sally Mae, Sally Mae

Sally Mae, Sally Mae, ooohhh

No, Sally Mae, Sally Mae

Sally Mae, ooohhh, Sally Mae



He's over by the corner

hey, got her hand by her side

They hit her harder, harder, harder, ooohhh, baby

till they thought she might die



Oh, I've got a foggy notion, do it again

over in the corner, do it again

I've got my calamine lotion, baby, do it again

Well, I've got a foggy notion, do it again, alright

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Crash The Party

(Richard Thompson)



We were walking down the street, we were trying to pretend

We were wild, wild boys on a wild weekend

We were down in the dumps and we didn't have to try hard

Our old town was just like a graveyard



We come around a corner and what do we hear

Oh rock and roll music coming loud and clear

The joint is jumping, no hesitation

We're all giving ourselves free invitation



Ah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



There was Monks and Eddie, and Weasel and Freddy

There was the gang of four, we beat down the door

Oh we crashed the party



The fence was electric, the dogs were mean

It was just like Stalag 17

When we rung on the bell they come for the business

So we got while the getting was good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



Oh, we crashed the party, yeah, we crashed the party

It would have been a sin if we didn't get in

So we crashed the party



We did the alligator and the mashed potato

Oh, we cracked some heads and broke some hearts

Oh we crashed the party



We got in the cellar, or just about

We got right in but we couldn't get out

Weasel got stuck in the bathroom window

And pushing didn't do any good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



Well we got on the roof of the house next door

Jumped down twenty nine feet to the floor

Landed in the arms of an amazon queen

Dancing with her Johnny Be Good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party

Hey, you gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Lacassine Special

(Iry LeJeune)



O ye yaie mais rappelle toi

Petite fille tout les accroires

Les promesses ca tu m'as fait

Tu connais je merite pas ca

Petite fille tout les promesse

Les accroires ca tu m'as fait

Tu connais je peux pas oublier

Que toi mais tu m'as dit

Chere toi tu serais venue

PHISH lyrics - Taste

I'm up and I can take what you give

And I'm here but I don't want you to live with me

`Cause all I want is a taste for free



I'm down and I will drag you along and around

Until you burst into song and unwind

And leave your new life behind for a while



Cause I can see through the lines

Cause I can see through the lines



I'm down and I will drag you along and around

Until you burst into song and unwind

And leave your new life behind for a while



I'm out and I will stay here alone and without

Someone controlled by the phone and TV

`Cause what it's doing to me is fine



Cause I can see through the lines

Cause I can see through the lines



Oooh oooh

Step into space

Oooh oooh

Alter my place

Oooh oooh

That someone else made

Why I have stayed

Into things I could be

Or if I could see

Into fog that surrounds

And pins me to the ground



I can see through the lines

I can see through the lines

I can see through the lines

I can see through the lines

LOU REED lyrics - What's Good

Life's like a mayonnaise soda

And life's like space without room

And life's like bacon and ice cream

That's what life's like without you



Life's like forever becoming

But life's forever dealing in hurt

Now life's like death without living

That's what life's like without you



Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony

I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue

What's good is knowing such devotion

I've been around - I know what makes things run



What good is seeing eye chocolate

What good's a computerized nose

And what good was cancer in April

Why no good - no good at all



What good's a war without killing

What good is rain that falls up

What good's a disease that won't hurt you

Why no good, I guess, no good at all



What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking

It must be better not to be thinking at all

A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete

No not much, not much at all



What's good is life without living

What good's this lion that barks

You loved a life others throw away nightly

It's not fair, not fair at all



What's good?

Life's good -

But not fair at all

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - The Girl's Alright With Me

[Eddie:]

This little girl of mine

I wanna say shes so fine

And each and every day

I'll make sure she has her now

We don't feel tied down

Allthough are hearts are bound

I don't have to chsae her all over town

My baby shes all ways around



[Chorus:]

The girls allright with me

You know the girls allright [repeat]



Now shes so good to me

I guess thats why i feel fancy free

Just to see the glow in her eyes

Makes me once agian realize

I love her with all of my

And i know we'll never eva part

I never heard about or caught

Her playin i guess thats why

You allways hear me sayin'



[Chorus]



When i visit at her home

Other fellas never never ring her phone

She lets them know just where they stand

She tells them all that i'm her man

And when we're out on a date

Other fellas wait till i walk away

They try to beat my time

She tells them in a nice way shes mine

All mine



[Chorus]

[Fading]

THE BUCKINGHAMS lyrics - Susan

(Holvay/Beisbier/Guercio)



Susan, looks like I am losin'

I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)

I'm wastin' my time



Susan do you have to be confusin'

I ask myself why you're sayin' goodbye



No other girl could ever take the place of you

Though you're hurtin' me

You know I'll always be thinkin' of you

Girl I always love you



Love love love love...

I love you, yes I do, I do

I love you, yes I do, I do



Susan, I love you

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - 1984

Someday they won't let you, so now you must agree

The times they are a-telling,

and the changing isn't free

You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV

Beware the savage jaw

Of 1984



They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air

And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care

You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's neverthere

Beware the savage jaw

Of 1984



[CHORUS]

Come see, come see, remember me?



We played out an all night movie role



You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled



In 1984 (who could ask for more)

1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)

(Mor-or-or-or-ore)



I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride

I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side



I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65



Beware the savage jaw

Of 1984



[CHORUS]



1984 [ad lib]

DANZIG lyrics - Black Angel, White Angel

We've lost the light another night

Kill these days and make them go away

Skulls on fire

The burning faces know iall hope is gone

Would you lie in wait or

Would you kill your brother

Would you offer out your hand

Then unleash the dagger



Black angel, white angel

Kneel down and lick from the razor

Dark angel, light angel

Come down and lay in the danger



You've lost your way among the fray

The blackest days

Are waiting up ahead

Blazing skulls

The burning children know it's all a game

Would you die in pain or

Would you feed the maelstrom

Would you offer up the necessary soul

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Stone Cold Bush

She's stone cold bush yea

And baby that's alright

She's stone cold bush yea

And that's alright with me

Get up off your knees, come on walk with me

Tell me what you need to get along

A statue come to live

I cut you with my knife

Bleeding to the tune of dolly dagger

She's stone cold bush

Haight street got nothing to show

Except the skirt on your ass

When you're livin' on the streets

You've got to let it roll

Get on with what you've got

Awe everybody knows that it's alright

You've got no secrets to tell

But when you walk that walk and talk that talk

You do it oh so well

She's stone cold bush

She's got marble eyes

Sweet china doll her thighs

And animal in pain she starts to cry

Her pipes are open wide

She blows more than my mind

Echo sounds of soul

Time after time

She's stone cold bush

R. E.M. lyrics - The Outsiders

You took me to the restaurant where we first met.

You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head.

I got caught with the stop of the tick tock, tick tock clock

When you told me what you knew.

Lost in the moment, the day that the music stopped.

And I do remember you.



Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth.

Promising volcanic change of plot.

Where will this lead us? I'm scared of the storm.

The outsiders are gathering. a new day is born.



I tried to tell you I am not afraid

You looked up and saw it all across my face

So am I with you or am I against?

I don't think it's that easy, we're lost in regret.

Now I'm trying to remember the feeling when the music stopped.

When you told me what you knew.

Lost in the moment, the day that the music stopped.

And I do remember you.



Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth.

Promising volcanic change of plot

Where does this leave us, I'm scared of the storm.

The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born.



Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth.

Promising volcanic change of thought

Where does this leave us? I'm scared of the storm.

The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born.



The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born.

The outsiders are gathering.



A man walks away. when every muscle says to stay.

How many yesterdays? they each weigh heavy.

Who says what changes may come. who says what we call home.

I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades,

The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid.

I've been a million times, in my mind, and this is really just a technicality.

Frailty. reality.



Uh, It's time to breathe. Time to believe. Let it go and run towards the sea.

They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean.

They don't understand, they don't know what you mean.

They don't get it, I want to scream.

I want to breathe again, I want to dream.

I want to float a quote from Martin Luther King



I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid

I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid

GRAHAM NASH lyrics - Another Sleep Song

All is need is someone to awaken me

Much of me has gone to sleep and I'm afraid to wake up

Shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying with you now

When I talk about the time I sleep away

When it's hard to face the day.

When I think of all the love that's taken me

How much do I get to keep and much should I give up?

Shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying to you now

I'm listening to the lies inside my head

Who can hurt you in your bed?



Fear of other people is a thing I hate

I travel in a bubble and I can't relate.

Something is happening to my head

I don't want to hurt you

But I never heard a word you said



Has this empty hollow heart forsaken me?

I wonder if I'll ever get to feel like I did

Before I grew up.

Shake me by the shoulder if I'm lying with you now

There is no time to waste another day

Cause we watch them fly away.

YUSUF ISLAM lyrics - World O' Darkness

In this world of darkness

Evil rules by night,

But somewhere in the shadows

Someone's seeking light



No one loves their neighbour here;

Nobody has the time,

No one cares for any one else

In a world where the sun don't shine



Shamsia, Shamsia



Some sons dream of leaving

While they're young at heart

But few choose the path towards

The land beyond the dark

Who'll choose the path towards

The land beyond the dark?

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - I Am In Love

I am dejected. I am depressed.

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.

Why this elation, mixed with deflation?

What explanation? I am in love.



Such conflicting questions rise

around in my brain: Should I order cynanide

or order champagne?



Oh, what is this sudden jolt?

I feel like a frightened colt,

just hit by a thunderbolt. I am in love.



I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,



So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

and so in need of a stampede of love.



I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,



So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

and so in need of a stampede of love,

and so in need of a stampede of love.

ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Sleep in heavenly peace.



Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight,

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heavely hosts sing alleluia;

Christ the Saviour, is born!

Christ the Saviour, is born!



Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face,

With the dwan of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

EDDIE RABBIT lyrics - Step By Step

She seems a million miles away

When she walks by

You don't know what to say

You gonna make a move

You better make it now

And don't be afraid

'Cause love will show you how



You take that first step

Ask her out and treat her like a lady

Second step

Tell her she's the one you're dreaming of

Third step

Take her in your arms and never let her go

Don't you know step by step

Step by step

You'll win her love



She looks too beautiful to touch

But your heart keeps talking to you now

Don't give up

You think you see something in her eye

But you will never know until you try



But you gotta take that first step

Ask her out and treat her like a lady

Second step

Tell her she's the one you're dreaming of

Third step

Take her in your arms and never let her go

Don't you know that step by step

Step by step

You'll win her love



Second step

Third step

Don't you know step by step

Step by step



First step

Ask her out and treat her like a lady

Second step

Tell her she's the one you're dreaming of

Third step

Take her in your arms and never let her go

Don't you know

That step by step

Step by step

You'll win her love



Second step

Third step

Don't you know step by step

Step by step



First step

Ask her out and treat her like a lady

Second step

Tell her she's the one you're dreaming of

Third step

Take her in your arms and never let her go

Don't you know that step by step

Step by step

You'll win her love

NAZARETH lyrics - Trouble

A ship comes in from Africa

Carrying forbidden cargo

Gonna bring somebody lots a trouble

There's a family out in Ohio

Gonna step on it and make it grow

Gonna fool some people at the double

Let it all go round

And it all comes down

A captain down in Florida

Knows a man back in Chicago

Every deal you know he's makin money

Rico comes from Texas way

With a senorita from El Paso

Glad he's found the land of milk and honey

Let it all go round

And it all comes down

'G' Man down in Panama

Cuts a trail to Barcelona

Dip-lo-matic bag will be no hassle

Sails into the big T. O.

Thru' the pipeline to Alaska

She's the one in town with something special

Maybe you maybe me maybe them

Look at you look at me look at them

Cut it out

You don't need it anyway

Sees its face in Tennessee

Knows a place in Casablanca

Detroit City never was a stranger

On the streets of Amsterdam

London town and all around us

Everywhere we look we see the danger

Let it all go round

And it all comes down

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - I Ain't Gonna Take It This Time

(Hall)



You push my buttons hard

And don't even realize what you're doing is killing my soul

Do you think I'm just some prize

You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?

Well, listen then



[Chorus:]

I ain't gonna take it this time

I ain't gonna take that from anyone

I ain't gonna take it this time

Guess I'm gonna break out



You know I try to please

I lay awake at night

Trying to find the words you'll understand

But when I'm nothing but sincere

I know you can't be hearing

Cause you say it's more of the same

Well, listen then



[Chorus]



Do you think I'd ever try to fool you

There are enough lies in the world

You don't need mine

If I can't win your heart and move you

You must be blind

AMY GRANT lyrics - Nobody Home

(Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett)



Main street U. S.A. boarded up and dry

Knowing what once was here just makes me want to cry

Used to be the favorite place, yeah

Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase



Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast

All that remains today are echoes from the past

Used to be a booming town, yeah

Now all that's left is either boarded up or broken down



[Chorus:]

Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

You can knock all you want

But, ain't nobody home



Packed up, moved away, running from the past

Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass

Used to be a busy town, yeah

Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around



[Chorus]



Was a newsstand on the corner

Right next to the barber shop

And down the street there

That's where all the kids would stop

And they would tease the neigbor's bulldog

Laugh and run away

And now there's no one left

Who knows the truth in what you say



[Chorus]

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - I Can't Help It

[1st Verse]

Looking In My Mirror

Took Me By Surprise

I Can't Help But See You

Running Often Through My Mind

Helpless Like A Baby

Sensual Disguise

I Can't Help But Love You

It's Getting Better All The Time



[Chorus]

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It, No



[Chorus]

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It, No



[3rd Verse]

Love To Run My Fingers

Softly While You Sigh

Love Came And Possessed You

Bringing Sparkles To Your Eyes



[4th Verse]

Like A Trip To Heaven

Heaven Is The Prize

And I'm So Glad I Found You Girl

You're An Angel In Disguise



[Chorus]

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It, No



And I'm So Glad I Found You Girl

You're An Angel In Disguise



[Chorus]

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could

I Can't Help It If I Wanted To

I Wouldn't Help It, No

JOHN AND MARY lyrics - One Step Backward

(John Lombardo/Mary Ramsey)



Stars shining through buildings,

I never could see

When I saw you there talk to the world

I was thinking it was me

A foggy grey runaway, pushing into the crowd

Shutters bang in the night, in the wind

Swollen eyes in the dark open wide

Till they see flowers red

Hang with love from the railings,

Maybe fate all along

Flowers grey

Pressed in glass painted cases

One step backward, I never felt so wrong



Summer nights we would travel,

Neon cities aglow

When you'd tell me the music's too loud,

I would smile, 'yes I know...'

Kids would show off their cities,

Be they ever so proud

Just as a precaution at night

Hold your housekeys like penknives

And see through the dark flowers red

Hang with love from the railings,

Maybe fate all along

Flowers grey

Pressed in glass-painted cases

One step backward, I never felt so wrong

Drawing faces of landscapes

Driving home from afar

After calendar pages turned over

To find out where you are

There are times I still see you

Alone on the stairs

Had I known for the asking

When gods choose to punish

It's likely surprise how they answer our prayers

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - My Darling Child

My darling child

My darling baby

My darling child

You gave life to me

My darling child

My darling baby

My darling child

You came and saved me

My darling child

My darling baby

My darling child

God gave you to me

Me little ninja

My little dancer

Me little streetfighter

Me little chancer

Me lovely boy

Me lovely babby

My pride and joy

Me little puppy

Me little wolf

Me little lamby

My favourite boy

My angel babby

Me little ninja

Me little dancer

Me little streetfighter

Me little chancer

Me love me boy

Me love me babby

My pride and joy

Me little puppy

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Cross-Eyed Mary

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --

if he had a rich man in his hand.

And who would steal the candy

from a laughing baby's mouth

if he could take it from the money man.

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.

She signs no contract

but she always plays the game.

Dines in Hampstead village

on expense accounted gruel,

and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:

would rather make it with a letching grey.

Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,

who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.

She's a poor man's rich girl

and she'll do it for a song.

She's a rich man stealer

but her favour's good and strong:

She's the Robin Hood of Highgate --

helps the poor man get along.

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - White Sail

Raise a white sail if you love me

A black sail if you don't

Seal me up in an impregnable tower

Or surround me with an impassable moat

I've heard all the stories told about love

(unattainable and pure)

But there is one love of which I'm sure



Your fear as honed as a battle axe,

I'll bear my neck, I'll wear the scar,

And if my nerve should fail the task

I know your faith will not roam too far

I've heard all the stories told about love

(two souls into one)

But this tale of love is one we've just begun



Isoldt had her Tristan,

But love potions are not what we need,

And Paris had his Helen

But it was infatuation that was plain to see

What I desire is your trust to inspire

This love for you which grows in me



Plant a rose tree on his grave

And on mine plant a vine,

As seasons pass and markers fade

Watch them slowly intertwine

I've heard all the stories told about love

(till death do us part)

But our love is a vow which has been wrought

From heart to heart

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - I'm Not Giving You Up

To be completely honest

It scares me to imagine

What life would be without you



And for this very reason

I ask you to forgive me

For what I'm putting us through



Although there are so many things

Against us, I've decided

That I'm not giving you

Up, no:



Thinking back, I see what we have

Is something different

I think we've known all along

So how fair would it be

To devide this love's existence

Between what's right and

What's wrong



And you, always wondering if we'll make it

Time will tell you

That I'm not giving you up, no, no...



We'll find a way to be together

However long it takes, wherever

If it means having you for only

A moment

A moment just might be enough

I'm not giving you up, no

No, I'm not giving you up, no



Screaming in the silence the

Promises we've spoken

Come back to haunt me, false

And broken

Quiet desperation to see we're

Lost forever

Searching for water in this dessert



no, I refuse to have to do

Without your kisses

I'm not giving you up

I'm not giving you up, no, no



We'll find a way to be together

However long it takes, wherever

If it means having you for only

A moment

A moment just might be enough

I'm not giving you up, no:

No, I'm not giving you up

TINA TURNER lyrics - If This Is Our Last Time

Even though the night is early there's a fire that whispers hurry

Darling please turn off the lights and lock the door

Come lay down here beside me tell me that I'm soft and pretty

And love me like you never have before

If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime

Don't hold back the love you feel inside why should passion be ashamed

If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime

Leave me with enough of sunshine to carry me through the rain



In the morning you'll be leaving but tonight there'll be no grieving

I'll have lots of time to cry when you're gone

Let's not waste one precious moment take all of me I'm still your woman

And love me up until the break of dawn

If this is our last time...

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Sleepwalkers

See them over there

See them moving down the road

Their arms held out ahead

And their eyes, their eyes are closed



Don't make any noise

Cry out loud or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys

Who are walking in their sleep



Every night they throw aside their blankets

Swing their feet down

Stand up and move out to the street

Like they're under a spell

And together they roam across the country

And they're walking in their sleep



You'll recognize them when you see

Their rumpled hair and stocking feet

It seems like they want something

But we don't know what it is

But here they come again

Yes, here they come again



Move aside and let the people go by

They don't see you

Thinking that they're home in their beds

They must not be disturbed

When they're wandering all across the country

And they're walking in their sleep



Perhaps when they awake

They'll remember everything

They'll think it was a dream

It will be forgotten then



But don't make any noise

Cry out loud or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys

Who are walking in their sleep

DEREK AND THE DOMINOS lyrics - Bell Bottom Blues

(Eric Clapton)



[Chorus:]

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.

I don't want to lose this feeling.

And if I could choose a place to die

It would be in your arms.



Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

I'd gladly do it because

I don't want to fade away.

Give me one more day, please.

I don't want to fade away.

In your heart I want to stay.



It's all wrong, but it's all right.

The way that you treat me baby.

Once I was strong but I lost the fight.

You won't find a better loser.



[Chorus 2x]



Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.

I'm sure we're gonna meet again,

And if we do, don't you be surprised

If you find me with another lover.



[Chorus]



I don't want to fade away.

Give me one more day please.

I don't want to fade away.

In your heart I long to stay.

TINA TURNER lyrics - Private Dancer

(Mark Knopfler)



All the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names

You don't think of them as human

You don't think of them at all

You keep your mind on the money

Keeping your eyes on the wall



[Chorus:]

I'm your private dancer

A dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer

A dancer money

Any old music will do



I wanna make a million dollars

I wanna live out by the sea

Have a husband and some children

Yeah, I guess I want a family

All the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names



[Chorus 2x]



Deutschmarks or dollars

American Express will nicely...Thank You!

Let me loosen up your collar

Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again



[Chorus]

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - If I Sing You A Love Song

(Ronnie Scott & Steve Wolfe)



If I sing you a love song, will you always remember?

Will you hear it on lonely nights when I'm not around?

If I sing you a love song, will you hear it forever?

To remind you how much I care and how I needed you



Love songs last longer than lovers ever do

So baby let me sing a love song for you

Love songs don't leave you but lovers often do

Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you



If I sing you a love song let it always be with you

When the others have gone away let it still be there

Love songs last longer than lovers ever do

So baby let me sing a love song for you

Love songs don't leave you like lovers often do

Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Walk On

(Matraca Berg, Ronnie Samoset)



Oh no, here we go and there you go again

When we disagree you leave when you don't win,

Honey now,

Sidewalk, baby talk, don't get it with me no more

Next time around the block

You go by my door baby



Walk on till you're gone away

Walk on till you find some day

Oh honey

Good-bye goes a long long way

So, so long

Walk on



Good-bye, baby cry, till you're singing the poor boy blues

This time I don't mind if you're shining your walking shoes

Fresh ink in the pen, your papers are ready to sign

They'll both be waiting for you when you walk by baby



Walk on till you're gone away

Walk on till you find some day

Oh honey

Good-bye goes a long long way

So, so long



Walk on till you're gone away

Walk on till you find some day

Oh honey, good-bye goes a long long way

So, so long

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Little 15

Little 15

You help her forget

The world outside

You're not part of it yet

And if you could drive

You could drive her away

To a happier place

To a happier day

That exists in your mind

And in your smile

She could escape there

Just for a while

Little 15



Little 15

Why take the smooth with the rough

When things run smooth

It's already more than enough

She knows your mind

Is not yet in league

With the rest of the world

And it's little intrigues

Do you understand

Do you know what she means

As time goes by

And when you've seen what she's seen

You will

Little 15



Little 15

Why does she have to defend

Her feelings inside

Why pretend

She's not had a life

A life of near misses

Now all that she wants

Is 3 little wishes

She wants to see with your eyes

She wants to smile with your smile

She wants a nice surprise

Every once in a while

Little 15

RICHARD MARX lyrics - The Power Inside Of Me

[From "The Mirror Has Two Faces" OST]



Seek and you shall find what you may already have.

Sometimes it's your own shadow standing in your path.

I have spent my life with a vision of myself,

But I may have been somebody, somebody else.

I feel a change in the tide

As I hold my heart open wide.



Never

Knew what I could be.

I never felt the power inside of me.

Now I stand in all the wonder

That the mirror couldn't see.

I have the power inside of me, yeah.

I have the power inside of me.



Every time I held a rose, I only felt the thorns.

I feel like today's the day I finally was born.

Now that I see me through these eyes,

I can do more than fantasize.

Never

Knew what I could be.

I never felt the power inside of me.

Now I stand in all the wonder

That the mirror couldn't see!

I have the power inside of me, oh woah.

Inside of me,

Inside of me!

Yeah.

JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - Izabella

[Jimi:]

"yeah, thank you very much. i'd like to do this song dedicated

To maybe a soldier in the army. singin' about his old lady that

He dreams about and humpin' a machine gun instead or it could be

Could be a cat maybe tryin' to fall in love with that girl baby,

But a little bit too scared. that's where the problems come from

Sometimes isn't it? i meen the cat is really insecure a little bit

So the call girls groupies and they call girls this. and they call

Passive people hippies and bla bla, woof, woof, all down the line

That's because their not in love man that's what's happening. that's

The other half of a man, is woman. and we'd like to play a thing called

Izabella, and don't you ever forget it."





Izabella

Girl, i dream about you every night

Every night

Hey, girl you know we got a war

Got a war to fight

So i think about you every day

Oh, and i hope you listen to me right





Hey, Izabella

Girl, i'm fighting this war for the you

Hey little girl i fight this war for the children and the world and you

So i hope you hear me baby, yeah

Cause what i try to tell you is true

Hey girl, i said i fight this war for the children and you

Please save your love for me

Then i'll know the fightin' is true

Izabella

Hey

Izabella

I'm gonna fight this war against nature, my heart



[Jimi:]

"thank you very much. and i'd like to go on with another slow thing.

I'd like to get by with a little bit of jam messin' around with back

At the house. i think we're going to call "get my heart back together

Again"

QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - California Dreamin'

[Inspired by Jose Feliciano's 1968 cover of The Mamas And The Papas hit of 1966]



All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.

I've been for a walk on a winter's day.

I'd be safe and warm if I was in L. A.;

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.



Stopped in to a church I passed along the way.

Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray.

You know the preacher liked the cold;

He knows I'm gonna stay.

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.



All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.

I've been for a walk on a winter's day.

If I didn't tell her I could leave today;

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.

California dreamin' on such a winter's day.
