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

I don't have to mention them 'cause they're superstars

We gonna' do a little something like this.. aaaahh..



Dear Alex and Marilyn

They're Lovey and Thurston howellin'

The grasshopper unit is prowellin

And Rufus is back home growellin

For all of y'all that be dozin'

On Hornblower's lederhosen

Like Walt Disney he'll be frozen

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

Try to keep my life non violent

Mario Rewind the tape and punch 'em in

Like Chuck D with the where you never been I'm in



Well can't won't don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

'Cause I get down 'Cause I get down

Can't won't don't stop rockin' to the rhythm

'Cause I get down 'Cause I get down



"I'm a long way from where I've been but I gotta' keep movin' movin on"



Ooh my my I'm really not feelin' it

Ooh my my something's really wrong

Ooh my my I'm really not feelin' it

Ooh my my something's really wrong

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

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.]

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.

'Cause I know how to do it like this.

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

The void is clean

A cell but not for a criminal

Light and shade

Draw a line

More is less is minimal

Form, earth, life

Decide something less decisional

Light and shade

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
