THE RAMONES lyrics - Animal Boy
Gonna kill and destroy
I'm not an animal boy
Why don't they understand
I'm not an ape man
Don't have brain damage
I'm not a wild savage
Don't puch me around
Don't bring my head down
I'm not an imbecile
Don't treat me like an animal
I'm not a creature in the zoo
Don't tell me what to do
You don't know what it's like
You don't know how I feel
I don't have a monkey's brain
I'm not an animal
You can't lock me in a cage
This ain't the Stone Age
Better get out of my way
Someone's gonna have to pay
Animal boy
Animal boy
Animal boy
Animal boy
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Crying Time
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Oh they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder
(Fonder)
And that tears are on their way
To make love grow
(Grow)
Well, my love for you could never,
Never, never, never grow no stronger
(Stronger)
If I live to be a hundred,
And I say a hundred years old
Oh you say that you've found someone
You love better
That's the way it's happened
Every time before
(Before)
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
Crying time will start
When you walk out
When you walk out my door
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
(I can feel it now)
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
(I can feel it now)
(I can see it baby in your eyes)
I can tell by way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time
No it won't be long before it's crying time!
GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Little Brown Bag
HOLD ON;
To the little brown bag. If it's all (that) she has to show,
Torn like a rag, Crazy lady she doesn't know,
LOOK IN;
Cos there's nothing inside, Was there anything anytime
Little Brown Bag;
She'll be there in the morning, sitting alone with her world in her hands,
No goodnight in the evening, The city it understands, the circumstance.
DREAM ON;
In the, little brown bag. Maybe here she's better than you
Torn like a rag, Look away it's good that you do.
MAYBE;
As you're, staring too hard, You could see that somehow it's real
Little Brown Bag.
What did she turn her back on, Was it the nightmare she couldnt face;
Look around, It may tell you, She only puts a good case,
So lady,
HOLD ON......
Little Brown Bag.
She'll be there in the morning, sitting alone with her world in her hands,
No goodnight in the evening, The city it understands,
So lady,
HOLD ON......
To the little brown bag. If it's all (that) she has to show,
Torn like a rag, Crazy lady she doesn't know,
LOOK IN;
Cos there's nothing inside, Was there anything anytime
Little Brown Bag;
JETHRO TULL lyrics - Look Into The Sun
Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away.
It's not easy singing sad songs
but still the easiest way I have to say.
So when you look into the sun
and see the things we haven't done --
oh was it better then to run
than to spend the summer crying.
Now summer cannot come anyway.
I had waited for time to change her.
The only change that came was over me.
She pretended not to want love --
I hope she was only fooling me.
So when you look into the sun
look for the pleasures nearly won.
Or was it better then to run
than to spend the summer singing.
And summer could have come in a day.
So if you hear my sad song singing
remember who and what you nearly had.
It's not easy singing sad songs
when you can sing the song to make me glad.
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung:
It's not too late, only begun,
we can still make summer.
Yes, summer always comes anyway.
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung:
It's not too late, only begun.
Look into the sun.

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Faded Love
(Bob Wills - John Wills)
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so dear I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
And with every heartbeat I still think of you and remember our faded love
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you darling...
BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - It's Too Late
(Willis)
It's too late - she's gone
It's too late - my baby's gone
Wish I had told her - she was my only one
But it's too late - she's gone
It's a weak man that cries
So I guess I'd best dry my eyes
Guess I will miss her more than any one
But it's too late - she's gone
She's gone - yes, she's gone
She's gone - my my baby's gone
She's gone - yes, she's gone
Where can my baby be
I wonder does she know
When she left me - it hurt me so
I need your lovin' - please don't make me weep
And tell me - it's not too late
PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Broken Barricades
It was all once bright jewels
And glittering sand
The oceans have ravaged
And strangled the land
Waste fills the temples,
Dead daughters are born
The presses are empty
The editors torn
Whose husband was the first to fall?
Who died the worst death of them all?
How many splinters in each separate band?
How many stations in the final hand?
Now gather up sea shells,
And write down brave words
Your prayers are unanswered,
Your idols absurd
The seaweed and the cobweb,
Have rotted your sword
Your barricades broken,
Your enemies lord.

BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - The Grasshopper Unit (Can't, Won't, Don't Stop)
That's right. Commin' to ya all day and all night, they are

And Rufus is back home growellin
For all of y'all that be dozin'
On Hornblower's lederhosen

And then the Swiss Hall of Fame he goes in
'Cause when he's out in space carousin
Pick up my mic and start joustin'
My name plate medallion
Says never trust a hal 9000
Well can't won't don't stop rockin' to the rhythm
'Cause I get down 'Cause I get down
'Cause I get down get down get down get down get down
Check the horizontal hold and check the tint
Are these three fools back at it again
Inspector Clouseau and Derek Flint
Nothin' but sparks ignitin'
Check two one two mic testin'
This one goes out to Dechen
Rise fallen fighters take your stance again
Don't think too much about the color of skin
Order in vegetarian sharks fin

Like Chuck D with the where you never been I'm in
Well can't won't don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

The p. a. sound is deafenin'
Bitin' MCs I'm oustinin'
With spinach in your teeth you're grinnin'
So on your way out please take a mint
Got the studio to throw a craze in
Those basslines Yauch just lays in
This song is the grass you're grazin'
Just add a little flange and phase in
Don't get mad 'cause I'm beguilin
I'm off the hook don't bother dialin'
They're gonna put me in the b-i-n
And if I die notify the next of kin
It's like that y'all It's like that y'all
It's like that y'all It's like that y'all

STRAY CATS lyrics - Tight Black Leather
You wear tight black leather wrapped up from head to toe
Tight black leather dressed up, no where to go
I got a hot steel machine gonna take her for a ride
Don't know where we'll go but I got her by my side
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Hey there Baby what you showin'
Five alarm smile keeps me burnin'
Come on honey reach down low
Kick start my heart rock my soul
If you hold on I may never look back
I love what you're doin' to me
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Hey there Baby what you showin'
Five alarm smile keeps me burnin'
Come on honey reach down low
Kick start my heart rock my soul
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
If you hold on I may never look back
I love what you're doin' to me
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Go Down Easy
Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten
The last time that I saw her she was makin' sure the winter
Wouldn't come through that old door frame
Where the door is several inches from the ground, the cold hard ground
[Chorus:]
And it's hard to go down easy
And it's hard to keep from cryin'
And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn
Well, she learned to cook the meals and she learned to start the fire
And she learned to make jewelry out of stones and precious metals
She sits down to the table with her friends and several others
And she tries real hard to never be alone
[Chorus]
Now the winter wind blows cold upon a fair and gentle soul
And she feels as if her time is a-passin' easy
Her friends are sometimes lovers, though they'll always be another
She thinks about when the night time lays on down
[Chorus 2x]
JOHN PRINE lyrics - The Hobo Song
There was a time
When lonely men would wander
Thru this land
Rolling aimlessly along
So many times
I've heard of their sad story
Written in the words
Of dead men's songs.
Down through the years
Many men have yearned
For freedom
Some found it
Only on the open road
So many tears of blood
Have fell around us
'cause you can't always do what you are told.
Please tell me where
Have all the hobos gone to
I see no fire burning down
By the rusty railroad track
Could it be that time
Has gone and left them
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack.
Last Sunday night
I wrote a letter
To my loved one
I signed my name
And knew I'd stayed away
Too long
There was a time
When my heart was free to wander
And I remember as I sing
This hobo song.
DIANA ROSS lyrics - When You Tell Me That You Love Me
(John Bettis/Albert Hammond)
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me

AEROSMITH lyrics - Kiss Your Past Good-Bye
Finders keepers losers weep
Down on 42nd Street
Bare-foot children cryin' my-oh-my
I watched you on the avenue
While other men were having you
I think that you should let your caged bird fly
And kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye, yeah
Kiss your past good-bye
I've been so lost I must confess
I've had my share of loneliness
But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down
The loves you lost were all in vain
The past lives on inside your brain
I don't think you need those memories
Hangin' 'round, yeah
Good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
You've gotta let it fly
Kiss your past good-bye, yeah
And if that bird don't fly away
There's just one thing I got to say
It's later than a deuce a ticks
Your broken heart, it needs a fix
You're feedin' off a high that would not last
And people they don't seem to care
And sorry just don't cut it, yeah
It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast
So... Kiss... your... past
Or kiss your ass good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
There's no more tears to cry
So kiss your past good-bye
Kiss your past good-bye
Or kiss your ass good-bye
Yeah
BRIAN MAY lyrics - The Dark
(Brian May)
Little baby sweetly sleep
Do not stir
We will bring a coat of fur
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you, rock you...
See the fur to keep you warm
Softly round your tiny form
STEVIE NICKS lyrics - Sometimes It's A Bitch
(J. Bon Jovi, B. Falcon)
Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure... my partner's been pain
There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands... down on my knees
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind... and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses... and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror... but what's left inside
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind... and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses... and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy
I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could... I'd do it all over again
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind... and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses... and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want... but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch... sometimes... it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze... it's a breeze... it's a breeze...
THE KINKS lyrics - Killer's Eyes
I see so little hope in you,
So much despair,
As I look in your eyes I wonder,
What thoughts linger there.
Life means nothing to you,
At least that's what they say,
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away.
How were we to know what was going on inside your mind.
You never let it show what was going on behind
Those killer's eyes
Killer's eyes
You've seen your picture in the paper.
You're little sister's pinned it on the wall.
She thinks you're in some kind of movie.
Imagine her surprise when she saw you on the news.
Reporters came around and asked for interviews.
So little compassion, so icy cool.
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel.
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum
But you haven't got the right to blow it to kingdom come
How could we know what it was like inside a killer's mind
It never really showed, you kept the secret deep inside
Those killer's eyes
Killer's eyes
You say the world is full of bullshit,
So you kill just as you see fit.
They say that you're a fanatic with a mission.
We all go through hell in some kind of way,
Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?
When you were young you had a vision
Why'd you go and do a thing like that?
And now we see you on the television.
Imagine our surprise when we saw you on the news,
And reporters came around and asked for interviews.
I see so little hope in you,
So much despair,
As I look in your eyes I wonder,
What thoughts linger there.
Life means nothing to you,
At least that's what they say,
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away.
When you were just a child
You'd hide away when other children cried
But how were we to know
These tears that flowed were from a killer's eyes
I see so little hope in you,
So much despair,
As I look in your eyes I wonder,
What thoughts linger there.
Life means nothing to you,
At least that's what they say,
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away.
Those killer's eyes
See the whites of their eyes
Those killer's eyes
See the whites of their eyes

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Lost In The City Of Angels
City of lights from way up here
I gaze in wonder
Children of night I hear you
Rolling like thunder
I see the motion of a thousand
Restless souls before me
I can't control the actions
Of my gypsy heart
Cause I'm lost
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
Lost in the city of angels
I was not born to be a slave
I cannot be a part of that
A new religion on my hands and knees for you
My baby looks alright
She says she's alright
Yeah she feels alright
My baby says she's getting through
Cause I'm lost
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
Lost in the city of angels
[Solo]
We are like moths drawn to a flame
You are our inspiration
We are like moths drawn to a flame
Cause I'm lost
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
(I am not lost)
Lost in the city of angels

LITA FORD lyrics - Larger Than Life
Hey, can you turn it up a little louder, please
Marlon Brando on a motorbike
In the black leather heat of a Saturday night
He said, "Whaddaya got?"
Ya got nothin'
Dollar in my pocket burnin' like Rome
There ain't no place that I call home
All alone in the big bad city
Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
I'm flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head
Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life
I love the city when the sun goes down
It's a madhouse, baby, a real 'toon town
Whaddaya want
Ya wanna rocket
I take a picture, paint it black and white
And the neon burnin' like a new tattoo
Ready or not, here we come, uh, huh
Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
Flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head
Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life
Yeah, we're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jam it uptight
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life
We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life
Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life
We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna rocket tonight, night, night, night
Tear it down
Larger than life
Larger
Than life
QUEEN lyrics - Heaven For Everyone
(Roger Taylor)
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free, this world could be one
In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smoth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection, hmm
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind
Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This should be love for everyone, yeah
This world should be free, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, this could be heaven for everyone
You know that
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone
Listen - what people do to other souls
They take their lives - destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone
MANOWAR lyrics - The Sons Of Odin
Here to the blaze
I wander
Through this black night
I ponder
The edge of our mighty swords
Did clash
Fallen by our axes
Helmets smashed
Glory and fame
Blood is our name
Souls full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors friend
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
To the end...
One day too
I may fall
I will enter Odin's Hall
I will die sword in hand
My name and my deeds will
Scorch the land
Glory and fame!
Blood is our name..
Soul full of thunder!!
Hearts of steel
Killers of men!
Of warriors friend
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
Sons of the gods
today we shall die
Open Valhalla's door
Let the battle begin
with swords in the wind
Hail Gods of War
[Solo]
Sons of Odin we four..!!
By the hammer of Thor!
Ride down from the sky....
Another is born
Another shall fall
This day men will die!!!!
Glory and fame
Blood is our name
Souls full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors friend
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
Sons of the gods today we shall die
Open Valhalla's door
Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
Hail Gods of War
Sons of the gods today we shall die
Open Valhalla's door
Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
Hail Gods of War
Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
Hail
Gods
of War!!!
...Onward into the heart of battle
Fought the sons of Odin
Outnumbered many times
Still
they fought on
Blood poured fourth from their wounds
Deep into the earth
Vultures waited for the broken shells
That once were bodies
But Odin alone would choose the day
They would enter Valhalla
And in their hour of need
He sent forth unto them The Berserker Rage
Now gods and men
They rose up from the ground
Screaming like wild animals
Such is the gift of absolute power
No blade or weapon would harm them
They killed them and horses alike
And all who stood before them died that day
Hail Gods Of War!!!!!

ROD STEWART lyrics - Twistin' The Night Away
(Sam Cooke)
Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away
Feel much better
Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin' the night away

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Heaven Is Here
Good times and bad times
There's noting I forget
Sun shines on our lifelines
There's noting I'll regret
Hold me and feel me
And wrap your arms around
Coz when you love me I'm quite clear
That heaven is here
Hear my confession
We're meant to be as one
Leave me to the mystery
Of happiness to come
Touch me I'll give
My blessings and desire
Coz when you feel eternal fire
Then heaven is here
Bad times and street crimes
No matter where you go
Some secrets preach and some fools teach
They're giving us some show
So send me an angel
And wrap your arms around
Coz when it all comes down you'll know
That heaven is here
REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - I'd Say You
(Chuck Howard)
If I had to say what love feels like
I'd say you
If I had to say what love tastes like
I'd say you
If I had to show what love looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you
If someone asked what heaven is
I'd say you
If I describe what pleasure is
I'd say you
If I had to show what a dream looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you
In Webster's book
I'd even add a word or two
Under perfect lover
I'd put see you
If I had to show my biggest thrill
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you
I'd say you
I'd say you
If I had to show what love looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you
JONI MITCHELL lyrics - The Last Time I Saw Richard
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
They're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close."
"Richard, you haven't really changed," I said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a Coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want Nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Belfast Child
When my love said to me,
Meet me down by the gallow tree.
For it's sad news I bring,
About this old town and all that it's offering.
Some say troubles abound,
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down.
One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, sisters, where are you now?
As I look for you right through the crowd.
All my life here I've spent,
With my faith in God the Church and the Government.
But there's sadness abound,
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down.
One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again,
When the Belfast Child sings again
So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
Come back Mary, you've been away so long.
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone.
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long.
And your father's calling, come on home.
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
Come back people, you've been gone a while,
And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle.
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood,
All the girls are crying but all's not lost.
The streets are empty, the streets are cold.
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home?
The streets are empty,
Life goes on.
One day we'll return here,
When the Belfast Child sings again,
When the Belfast Child sings again.

DREAM THEATER lyrics - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence: About To Crash
She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive
It takes a village
This she knows is true
They're expecting her
And she's got work to do
He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad
Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
And when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by
She was raised in a small midwestern town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her
And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind
Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad
Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression
Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race
SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Oro, Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile
Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
B'e ar gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,
Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach
'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.
[Chorus:]
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.
Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,
Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;
Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,
'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.
[Chorus]
A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,
Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,
Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
Ag fogairt fain ar Ghallaibh.
[Chorus]
LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - A Long And Sad Goodbye
Papa
Who's to blame
Why you never had your futune and fame
Papa
What did you gain
To leave the love you had for a two bit dame
[Chorus:]
Papa - why did you turn your back
Why did you stay on track
Why did you leave and make her cry
Papa - you meant the world to me
Why did you abandon me
Now its a long and sad goodbye
Papa-what is this game
With all that shit in your head your gonna go insane
Papa - I am in pain
Cause on the day that you left
You said I'd do the same
[Chorus]
Papa. Papa. Papa. No
Oh Papa. Papa. Oh Papa. No
[Chorus]
Papa. Papa....
Stay.
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - A Day In The Life Of A Fool
(L. Bonfa, C. Sigman, A. Mariz)
[Recorded February 20, 1969, Hollywood]
A day in the life of a fool, a sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue, and hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you, coming my way
I stop just across from your door, but you're never home any more
So back to my room, and there in the gloom
I cry tears of good bye
That's the way it will be every day in the life of fool

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Goin' Away For To Leave You
(John Phillips)
[Chorus:]
Well, I'm goin' away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore. Honey on that far distant shore.
Well, now, I'm goin' down to New Orleans, just to ride on the river boat.
Gotta keep bailin' all night long just to keep the darn boat afloat.
[Chorus]
Here is where I was born and raised, where the cold, cold North wind blows.
But I'm goin' back to old Tennessee where my good gal only knows.
[Chorus]
Keep a light in your window. Keep it burnin' bright.
Someday I'm gonna come a-knockin' at your door. Baby, I'll treat you right.
[Chorus]

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Wishin' And Hopin'
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreaming each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care
Show him that you care just for him
And do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
(You gotta)
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his
You will be his
TEENA MARIE lyrics - You So Heavy
Rescue me and my precious cargo
We have short time to be wed
White knights, with silver shadoes
Have placed thoughts in my head
The King and I, In a mystery series
Much ado-about
Sheldons romance-sweet novella
Passion crying out
Thoughts of you go to my head
You turn me on-Ooo you so heavy
You turn me on-Oooo you so heavy
Consider me, and my love ahoy
Sugarcoat me in your path
I'll surrender, I need a little sympathy
When there's noone you can trash
Call me I'm your pacifier
When you need some company
Sister can't fly ith one wing
So just give her what she needs
You make me feel like drifting
Through my golden years
Thoughts of you go to my head
You turn me on-Ooo you do heave
You tailor-make me
And I'm dressed in secret fears
Thoughts of you go to my head
You turn me on-Oooooo you so heavy-heavy-heavy
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Why, Why, Why
(Dolly Parton)
Why why why did you say goodbye
Why did you walk out on me
Cry cry cry I feel like I could die
Why did you go and leave me lonely
What did I do
What did I say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me
What I did wrong
And I'll make it up to you
If you'll just come back home
I'll try try try as each day goes by
To make you glad that you came back to me
No more good-byes and no more tears to cry
Every day I'll try to make you happy
What did I do
What did I say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me
What I did wrong
And I'll make it up to you
If you'll just come back home
I'll try try try as each day goes by
To make you glad that you came back to me
No more good-byes and no more tears to cry
Every day I'll try to make you happy
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Let's Begin
Before I met you no one attracted me
No love thoughts worried or distracted me
My disposition kept exempting me
Until you started in preempting me
And all this while, you've really been tempting me
Maybe you can tell me what we ought to do
Now that you've got me going, what you gonna do?
Is it up to me? Is it up to you?
What kind of game is this we've begun?
Was it done, just for fun?
We have necked, till I'm wrecked
Won't you tell me what you expect?
Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell?
Folly and farewell
Heaven or maybe hell
Which is it going to be, love or gin?
Wife or sin? Let's begin
[Bridge]
We have necked, till I'm wrecked
Won't you tell me what you expect?
Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell?
Folly and farewell
Heaven or maybe hell
Which is it going to be, love or gin?
Wife or sin? Let's begin

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Where Do You Start?
Where do you start? How do you separate the present from the past?
How do you deal with all the thing you thought would last? That didn't last
With bits of memories scattered here and there
I look around and don't know where to start
Which books are yours?
Which tapes and dreams belong to you and which are mine?
Our lives are tangled like the branches of a vine that intertwine
So many habits that we'll have to break
And yesterday's we'll have to take apart
One day there'll be a song or something in the air again
To catch me by surprise and you'll be there again
A moment in what might have been
Where do you start? Do you allow yourself a little time to cry?
Or do you close your eyes and kiss it all goodbye? I guess you try
And though I don't know where and don't know when
I'll find myself in love again
I promise there will always be a little place no one will see
A tiny part within my heart, that stays in love with you
SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - The Sun Is Burning
The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy breeze
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
ELTON JOHN lyrics - House
This is my house
This is where I live
That is the winter
Those are the trees
I can hear them breathe
This is my bed
This is where I sleep
That was the dark
Those are my dreams
They belong to me
This is my floor
This is where I lie
This is a square room
That was a bright light
These are not my eyes
What is my soul
Where is my tired heart
That is the question
Where is the answer
Inside my house
And I sit by the window
And I wish I was rain
I want to fall from the sky
I want to get wet all over again
'Cause this my house
It belongs to me
Inside my head
It's all that's left
This is my house
This is my bed
This is where I sleep
That was the dark
Those are my dreams
They belong to me
This is my house

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Runaway Child, Running Wild
You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You wanna run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belone
Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)
Oh run away child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama please come and see about me
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose
JOE COCKER lyrics - Out Of The Rain
(Tony Joe White)
Out Of The Rain, Under The Shelter I'Ve Been So Long Where
The Sun Don'T Shine Standing At The Cross-Roads, Could Have
Went Ither Way But Now I'Ve Found You And The Storm Is
Behind
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain
Over The Wall, I'M Out In The Open Back On The Right Track, I'M
Feeling No Pain You Took A Sparrow And Let It Fly With The
Eagles I Can See A Long Ways, I Feel Love Again
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain
There Was A Time I Was Taking No Prisoners Standing With A
Cold Heart, Standing Alone It Took Your Sweet Love To Pull
Me Out Of The Canyon I Believe I Can Make It Now, I Feel Like I
Belong
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain Out Of The Rain, Out Of The
Rain
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Till The Morning Comes
I'm gonna give you
till the morning comes
Till the morning comes,
till the morning comes.
I'm only waiting
till the morning comes
Till the morning comes,
till the morning comes.
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - He Touched Me
(William J. Gaither)
Shackled by a heavy burden
Need the Lord again and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same
For He touched me, He touched me
He touched me and what a wonderful joy
What wonderful joy that foods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole
Oh since I met this blessed Savior
And since he cleaned and me me whole
Oh I never cease, never cease to prise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls
Oh He touched me, oh He touched me
And oh what a joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Easy For You To Say
The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say
The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say
Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
But the only one I caught just got away
It's easy for you, easy for you
It's all so easy for you to say

JACKIE WILSON lyrics - Night
(Lehman and Miller)
Night, here comes the night
Another night to dream about you
Night, each lovely night
The only time I'm not without you
Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night
Once more, I feel your kisses
Once more, I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
But you come back into my arms each night
AIR SUPPLY lyrics - The First Noel
The first noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the East
Beyond them far
And to the Earth
It gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
And let us all
With one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath in heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind hath bought
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Falling In Love With Love
(Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart)
[Recorded May 19, 1961, Los Angeles]
I weave with brightly colored strings
To keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingers
dance
And keep your hands out of romance
Lovely witches
Let the stitches
Keep your fingers under
control
Cut the thread, but leave
The whole heart whole
Merrry maids can sew and sleep
Wives can only
sew and weep
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is
playing the fool
Caring too much is juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I
fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see
I fell
in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me

LOU REED lyrics - Ride, Sally, Ride
Sit yourself down, bang out a tune on the grand piano
Sit yourself down, lay languidly down upon that sofa
Oooh isn't it nice, when your heart is made out of ice
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time or way of confusion
Ride, Sally, ride
'Cause if you don't, you'll get a contusion
Oooh isn't it nice, when your heart is made out of ice
Sit yourself down, take of your pants
Don't you know this is a party
Sit yourself down
Why do you think we brought all these people, Miss Brandy
Oooh isn't it nice, when your heart is made out of ice
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time or way of confusion
Ride, Sally, ride
It's not your time or way of confusion
Oooh isn't it nice
When you find your heart is made out of ice
Ride, Sally ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, Sally, ride
BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Crying Berlin
(Paul D. Fitzgerald - B. Tyler / Paul D. Fitzgerald - John Stage)
This German morning of winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning - the day to wait it's turn
The city stumbles - to find the boots in bedrooms
A new wife wonders - why must he go so soon
She's crying in Berlin -
Love is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win
A sip of coffee - he sends a smile to greet her
Just for a second - she forgets what lovers have to learn
An empty window - an empty bed - an empty chair
She curses history - then hides her face behind her hair
And she's crying in Berlin
Her world is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile -
Will war's denial ever end
She's crying in Berlin
Her world is dying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win
SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
[Instrumental Break]
A darkened doorway - an empty street - an empty heart
There is no sure way - to know if they will stay apart
He dissapears then - a waving hand she won't forget
One thing is certain - she will always see his silhouette
WHEN SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
WHEN SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
When she's trying hard to fight her fears
She'll fight her tears - and win
SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
THERE'S NO DENYING - IT'S A SIN - IT'S A SIN
When the cities burn - love waits its turn -
For her and him
CRYING IN BERLIN - CRYING IN BERLIN
She's been trying hard to force a smile
Will war's denial - ever end
CRYING IN BERLIN
When the cities burn - love waits its turn - for her and him
Crying in Berlin - Crying in Berlin
[etc.]

(Otis Blackwell)
[Originally by Otis Blackwell]
Girl you think you've had loving,
Girl you think you've had fun,
Girl you ain't a seen nothin' 'til I come along.
I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy,
Yeah I'm a daddy daddy I'm daddy rolling stone.

He's got a girl named Chris,
I'm gonna steal that girl though he's twice my size,
'Cause I know how to do it like this.
I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy, I'm a daddy,
Yeah I'm a daddy daddy I'm daddy rolling stone,

Daddy rolling stone, call me daddy rolling stone.

'Cause I know how to do it like this.

I'm daddy rolling stone, I'm daddy rolling stone,
Just call me daddy rolling stone dear,
Long hair long nose, daddy rolling stone.

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Minute By Minute
(Michael McDonald/Lester Abrams)
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on...
L. A. GUNS lyrics - Crazy Bitch
[Buckcherry Cover]
Break me down, you got a lovely face
We're going to your place, and now you got to freak me out
Scream so loud, getting fuckin' laid
You want me to stay but I got to make my way
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Take it off, the paper is your game
You jump in bed with fame
Another one night paid in full
You're so fine, it won't be a loss
Cashing in the rocks just to get you face to face
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Get the video, fuck you so good
Get the video, fuck you so good
Crazy bitch, crazy bitch
Crazy, bitch
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back, c'mon
Baby girl you want it all
To be a star you'll have to go down
Take it off no need to talk
You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
Hey! You're a crazy bitch
But you fuck so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
You keep me right on
You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me

RINGO STARR lyrics - Red And Black Blues
(L. Tiegen)
Ended a worker, according to plan,
'Cause you're just a woman and i'm just a man.
Whatever the future might happen to bring,
It'll be the right thing.
It's all been happening for a long, long time,
There's a valley behind ev'ry mountain you climb.
So turn up the music and open the door
Nothing left to wait for.
Shine, shine your sweet light on me,
You said you were a rider but you feel like a woman to me.
Open the windows and unlock the locks
Ride all you can 'cause they may stop all your clocks.
Let all your hair down and open the wine
Things will be really fine.
Shine, shine your sweet light on me,
You said you were a woman but you feel like a rider to me.
Open the windows and unlock the locks
Ride all you can 'cause they may stop all your clocks.
Let all your hair down and open the wine
Things will be really fine.
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Down, Down
When the mornin' comes
You'll know by my shoes I've been out walking
If I don't return
You'll know I've found something to believe in, to believe in
Waiting for the sun
My heart will surely break if it starts raining
It's the oasis I seek
'Cause the sand of the desert makes me thirsty, makes me thirsty
Down, down we all go down
'Round, 'round we all go 'round
Down, down we all go down
We all go down-down-down-down
If I learn to fly
You know I'll go places never been before
If I reach a star
You know I will dwell on it forever, forever
There are mysteries
My children have rhymes with hidden meanings
If I learn the truth
I'm sure that the end will leave me crying, leave me crying

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Leaving You
You loved me and you made me what I am today
You loved me and you gave in ev'ry single way
You loved me and gave it all so tenderly
You loved me but I'm telling you now on bended knee
I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home a resting place
I was nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere I wanna tell you now like never before
I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby
I was.......I'm
I'm a leaving you baby
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home a resting place
I was nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere I wanna tell you now like never before
W. A.S. P. lyrics - Sweet Cheetah
One night as I rolled down some long winding road
I saw you and I knew I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman, vision fantasy
Lost against the moonlight bathed in ecstasy
Leopard's skin and cat's eyes
Has the jungle made you wild
The prey you're after, is you faster
Will it make you smile
Ride with me, I'll set you free
Chains can't hold us down
I need you, if you want me
Lovers we are bound
[Refrain:]
Sweet cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me now
Skin tight you move in so slowly to thrill
Waiting for the nightmare then you're in for the kill
Amazon so sleekly you know what to do
Eat the flesh, and save my heart
And leave it when you're through
Pain and pleasures all mine
Untamed and running wild
Sink your teeth into me
Lick your lips and smile
Take my hand and ride the land
Forever you and me
Hold on tight to me all night
And set your spirit free
[Refrain]

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Do You Believe In Love
(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
[Chorus:]
Do you believe in love
Do you believe in love
There ain't no doubt about it
Everybody's gonna jump up and shout
About do you believe in love
[Chorus]
Taking a walk down in the street
There's bound to be someone you can meet
Someone who believes in love
Someone who only needs a shove
Going together hand in hand
Don't need a reason for whats planned
Don't mess around, you gotta do it right
Do it right, you can stay all night
[Chorus]
Do you believe in love
ZZ TOP lyrics - Heard It On The X
Do you remember
Back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
That's where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
In every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
Is cuttin' through the air.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.
We can all thank Doctor B
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'Cause if you don't I'm sure you won't
Get to feeling right.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Chains Of Misery
(Dickinson/Murray)
There's a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry-into your sunlight
He whants to burst into the street with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain
He's seen what love is...
He whants to pay you back with guilt...
[Chorus:]
He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your Chains of misery
He be still till he's turned your key
He holds your Cains of misery
There's prophet in the gutter in the street
He say "You're damned!" - and you believe him...
He's got a vision byt it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear...
He's felt what love means...
He whants to pay you back with pain
[Chorus]
It's only love that holds the key to our hearts... only love...
[Chorus 2x]
L. A. GUNS lyrics - Good Thing
Well it's a good thing I kissed you when I did
I like the sexy way your fingers slid
And anything done became undid
Wait a minute honey I think we should video
No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see
[Chorus:]
It's a good thing
Talking about a good thing, yeah

Nothing but a good thing, yeah
It's a good thing you called me when you did
The pressure building up upon my lid
And on to your back I watched you slid
Gotta tell you honey I wish they were all like you
No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see
[Chorus]
Well it's a good thing I kissed you when I did
I like the sexy way your fingers slid
And anything done became undid
Wait a minute honey I think we should video
No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see
[Chorus]
SLAYER lyrics - Jesus Saves
(Lyrics - King, Music - Hanneman, King)
You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say
Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away
For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt at amnesty
He will decide who lives and dies
Depopulate Satanas rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy
[Lead: King]
Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way
[Lead: Hanneman]
Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way
[Lead: King]
BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Keep It Warm
Sweet woman are you feeling right
What was it that you did last night
You made me crazy you made me fly
I can't forget the hungry look in your eye
Ooh what's the matter with me
I'm justa runner I was born free
But since I met you I can't leave you alone
I'm leaving now but I'll be coming home
Keep it warm at the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our magical ride
Keep it warm for me when we talk on the phone
Don't forget will you pretty one that your man is coming home
D'you hear the rumor that is going around
Say I'm ruined 'cos I'm settled down
It's not true well maybe half and half
You know I love you but I still like a laugh
Ooh I'm feeling fine I got it right for the first time
Sweet woman I can't stay for long, but every one will be proved wrong
I'm like a gypsy, I need to roam, but don't worry I'll be coming home
I need the danger I need the thrill
I need to know what is over each hill
Ooh I'm a different man I'm still running but you understand
Since I met you I can't leave you alone
I'm leaving now but I'll be coming home
THE FLAMINGOS lyrics - I Only Have Eyes For You
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
Sha bop sha bop
Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all dissappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Papa Was A Rolling Stone
[Originally by The Temptations]
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
[Chorus:]
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
[Chorus]
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Momma just hung her head and said...
[Chorus 2x]
Hey Momma,
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...
[Chorus 4x]
BRENDA LEE lyrics - What A Difference A Day Made
(Marie Grever - Stanley Adams)
What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
Umm, my yesterdays were blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
Yes, my lonely nights are through dear
Since you say you are mine, all the time
What a difference a day made
Now there's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
Umm, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you, when you find romance on your menu
Aah what a difference a day made
Umm and the difference is you
What a difference a day made, umm and the difference is you
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Yesterday
[Originally by The Beatles]
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
THE SMITHS lyrics - Paint A Vulgar Picture
At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And ooh, the plans that they weave
And ooh, the sickening greed
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say:
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
Double pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
"Please them, please them!"
"please them, please them!"
(sadly, THIS was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them!, Please them!"
(sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...couldn't you?
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "please, take me with you...
I don't care where you're going..."
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
Best of! Most of!
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves!
Buy both, and be deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour! ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium!"
(THIS was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup?
Well, maybe:
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm
So, in my legs down to the knees
But me and my `true love'
We will never meet again...
At the record company meeting
On thier hands - at last! - a dead star!
But they cannot taint you in my eyes
No, they cannot touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my `true love'
Will never meet again

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Baby Don't Cry
(Hiller / Ford)
I got a girl she's crazy about me
She'll go down in history
Twenty four hours of every day she'll cry
So baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry
Everytime we say good night
As I go to hold her tight
Never get to kiss her 'cauze she cries
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry
[Break]
Does she love me, Yes or no
Will she ever tell me so
She just doesn't got the time She cries
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry
One, two, three, four
PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Father's House
(Noel Paul Stookey)
The way to my Father's house when I was just a boy
Lay through fields of innocence near bubbling springs of joy
And when I'd lay me down to sleep
I'd pray the Lord my soul to keep
The road was never very steep
On the way to my Father's house.
The way to my Father's house when I turned seventeen
Wandered through inviting hills beside a tumbling stream
Sometimes in prayer upon my knees,
I would feel a distant breeze
The road was winding now through trees
On the way to my Father's house.
The way to my Father's House at the age of twenty-nine
Led over a mountain that I would seldom climb
Except in times of great despair when I'd be looking everywhere
And then one morning He was there,
On the way to my Father's house
And glory, what a refreshing story
I was so blind before he opened my eyes restoring me to
The way to my Father's house at the age of thirty-one
Was a ride on a rainbow my new life had begun
And every evening I could look through the pages of his book
And recognize the paths I took on the way, on the way...
I go to my Father's house in these troubled days
The Spirit is moving in mysterious ways
Reminded when old doubts appear
That perfect Love casts out all fear
In thanks I tend the garden here, on the way,
On the way
On the way to my Father's house
PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Minimal

White on white
Light, sublime, subliminal
The void is clean
A cell but not for a criminal
Light and shade
Time and space
M. I. N. I. M. A. L.
Minimal Minimal
M. I. N. I. M. A. L.
Minimal Minimal
Draw a line
More is less is minimal
Form, earth, life
Decide something less decisional
Light and shade
Time and space
M. I. N. I. M. A. L.
Minimal Minimal
M. I. N. I. M. A. L.

An empty box
An open space
A single thought
Leaves a trace

NAZARETH lyrics - Vancouver Shakedown
We only came here to play rock'n'roll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine
Give us some time
We aint no wise boys we aint no fools
We tried to play clean and keep to the rules
We take and we give, just playin' our gig
But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us what's goin' down
Don't need another Vancouver shakedown
Six miles high, six miles along
Chasin' the sun we've come to sing you a song
Deliver our goods
We're just rock'n'roll dudes
All these behind us, and one more to go
Fly to Vancouver, to do the lastshow
It's got to be good, like we know that it should
But we got laid over
Ya we was doneover
Somebody tell us what's goin' down
Don't need another Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
We only came here to play rock'n'roll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine
Give us some time
But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us what's goin' down
Don't need another Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
RAY CHARLES lyrics - That's Where It's At
Lights turned way down low
And music soft and slow
With someone you love so
That's where it's at
Your world turned upside down
You make not a sound
No one else around
That's where it's at
Your heart, beating fast
You're knowing that time will pass
But hoping that it lasts
That's where it's at
That's where it's at
Pretty baby
That's where it's at
Whoa, yes it is
That's where it's at
Pretty baby
That's where it's at
Oh yeah
Let me tell you this one thing
To say, "It's time to go"
And she says, "Yes, I know, but just stay one minute more"
That's where it's at
Oh let me say it one more time
That's where it's at
Pretty baby
That's where it's at
I know that's where it's at
That's where it's at
Pretty baby
That's where it's at

MADONNA lyrics - Skin
[Chorus:]
Do I know you from somewhere?
Why do you leave me wanting more?
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I've said before?
(Put your hand on my skin)
(Put your hand on my skin)
(Put your hand on my skin)
Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
[chorus]
Touch me, I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing
You've got this thing
[chorus]
Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes
I close your eyes
(Kiss, kiss, kiss me)
[chorus, repeat]
Kiss me, I'm dying
Touch me, I'm trying, ohhh
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Touch me, I'm trying, ohhh
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
GEORGE BENSON lyrics - White Rabitt
Are we really happy here with this lonely game we play,
Looking for words to say,
Searching but not finding understanding any way,
We're lost in a masquerade.
[Chorus:]
Both afraid to say we're just too far away,
From being close together from the start,
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way,
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.
Thoughts of weeping disappear every time I see your eyes,
No matter how hard I try, oh,
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way,
We're lost in a masquerade.
[Chorus]
Thoughts of weeping disappear every time I see your eyes,
No matter how hard I try, oh,
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way,
We're lost in a masquerade.

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Tell Me All The Things You Do
(Kirwan, Danny)
Tell me
Tell me all the things you do
I'll tell you
Tell you all the things I do
Tell me
Tell me all the things you do
I'll tell you
Tell you all the things I do
RAY CHARLES lyrics - Understanding
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
Between a boy and a girl
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
It's always better when you really understand
You know understanding is a mighty powerful thing,
Thats why it makes me so sad
When I see my friends wandering aroung thru the world,
Never knowing the meaning of the word
Understanding, so in the next few minutes, I'm gonna
Try to explain just exactly what it means
Now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me
And my old lady, we gotta good thing goin
Because I know If I dont work and pay the rent and the
Bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well,
There are fifteen other guys just waitin round the
Corner, and I dont care how much that woman loves me,
She's gonna go out and find herself one of them who
Will and thats why I believe that
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
Between a boy and a girl
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
It's always better when you really understand
Now listen I dont want you to think that this is a
One sided affair, no no
Because my old lady also understands that a man must
Have respect
What I mean is, if she must play around dont let me
Catch her, because what I dont see cant hurt me, you
Understand? but on the other hand, If I should ever
Catch her I'm not gonna talk about-a
And call her a bunch of bad names like you all might
No no mh
What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go down-town to the
Hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe,
Come back, square off, and believe her soul's gonna
Belong to the good lord
Because her head's gonna belong to me, and I
Guarantie she'll know what I mean when I'll say
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
Between a boy and a girl
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
It's always better when you really understand

PRINCE lyrics - Sexual Suicide
Baby, U take a walk
Take a walk and leave me behind
Baby, U gonna walk, yeah
Gonna walk right out of your mind
U better have 2 feet
We got no reason, reason 2 lie
Baby, U take a walk
Think I'm gonna take a sexual suicide
Baby, if U only knew
All the love, want a love that's deep in my heart
Ooh baby, bein' here with U
Wouldn't be nothin' could tear us apart
Alright, uh, every night
Cool surrender, lost in your arms
U, U'll be surprised
Doin' it in the cuffs, sound your alarm
Baby, gonna take a walk
Think I'm gonna take a sexual suicide
No body like my body, baby
Ain't no ride like my ride
Super skin in my car, baby
If U're drivin' me, then maybe
Sexual suicide
Ain't it a shame
That U won't play the game
Got 2 much pride
U, U make your bed
But U got 2 see the sexual, sexual suicide
Suicide, sexual, sexual suicide
U take a walk
We can talk
