SPARKS lyrics - Rockin' Girls

(Ron & Russell Mael)



Rockin' Girls

Just 17

The cutest thing I've ever seen

C'mon baby, rock with me tonite

You're the only girl I ever met named Linda Lou

Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you



See the girl with the red dress on

See the girl with the red dress off

C'mon baby, rock with me tonite

And you're the only girl I ever met who hates "Hey Jude"

Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you



Take a trip around the world

All you have to say is

"C'mon baby" that gets 'em everywhere

I hope I never have to see the doctor 'cause of you

I hope you never have to see the doctor 'cause of me



Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You look a little slow

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You still look kinda slow

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You still look kinda slow

Oh, now you're movin' fine

It's instrumental time



Rockin' Girls

Just 17

The cutest thing I've ever seen



Rockin' Girls, I'm on my knees

Don't get old and don't get mean

C'mon baby, please stay 17



Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You look a little slow

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You still look kinda slow

Oh, Rockin' Girls, let's go

You still look kinda slow

Oh, now you're movin' great

I think I'll take a break

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Creepin'

Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear,

There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear.

Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land,

I can't understand, why we don't take them in hand.



Woah, oh... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.

I don't want to be their fool no more.

Open eyes, but you're sleepin',

You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.



Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools,

Loosin' their cool, it's us that they rule.

Too many people sittin' dead on their ass,

They ain't got no class, people, this time must pass.



Woah, oh... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.

Hey... I don't want to be their fool no more.

Open eyes, but you're sleepin',

You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.



Woah, oh... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'.



Oh... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me,

That long to be free, are not actually.

Please everybody won't you hear this song,

Help a country that's wrong, to someday be strong.



Woah, oh... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.

No! Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.

Open eyes, but you're sleepin',

You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'.

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...



Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...



Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Si Yo Quisiera

(Romualdo Garcia)



Si quisiera despreciar te despreciaba

Si quisiera aborrecer te aborrecia

Si te fueras por tu ausencia no lloraba

Y negara que un tiempo fuistes mia



Es muy cierto que llore cuando era nino

Y tambien cuando sufrian mi pobres padres

Pero nunca llorare por un carino, eso lo hacen

Solamente los cobardes



Se que tienes muchas ganas de dejarme

Pero tienes mucho miedo que te siga

Cunado quieras ve a formar tu mundo aparte

Hasta nunca vete y Dios que te bendiga



Yo jamas he renegado de mi suerte

Y te pierdo porque ya era mi destino

Si no tengo ya motivos pa quererte

Y hay pa siempre cada quien por su camino



Se que tienes muchas ganas que dejarme

Pero tienes mucho miedo que te siga

Cunado quieras ve a formar tu mundo aparte

Hasta nunca vete y Dios que te bendiga

VINCE NEIL lyrics - 25 Or 6 To 4

(R. Lamm)



[Japanese bonus track]

[Originally by Chicago]



Waiting for the break of day

Searching for something to say

Flashing lights against the sky

Giving up I close my eyes



Sitting cross-legged on the floor

25 or 6 to 4



Staring blindly into space

Getting up to splash my face

Wanting just to stay awake

Wondering how much I can take



Should I try to do some more

25 or 6 to 4



Feeling like I ought to sleep

Spinning room is sinking deep

Searching for something to say

Waiting for the break of day



25 or 6 to 4

25 or 6 to 4

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Going Left

(Stevie Wonder, Syreeta Wright)



[Chorus:]

(Well) I'm goin' left

'Til you lead me to the right

Lead me to what is right

I'm goin' left

'Til you lead me to the right

Lead me to what is right



There's a train people say

I could ride to get my whole life straight

But the bridge on the way

Has a toll too much for me to pay

Yes I know it must be

What I chose could mean my destiny

Lights are green all is go

But my heart keeps telling my mind no



[Chorus]



There's a plane over there

Where all are given even share

What you get is so small

It's like never having nothing at all

Take my hand says a friend

A will stick with you until the end

But I'm in doubt I must decline

'Cause even friends can change their lines



[Chorus]

RUSH lyrics - The Seeker

[Originally by The Who]



I've looked under chairs

I've looked under tables

I've tried to find the key

To fifty million fables



[Chorus:]

They call me The Seeker

I've been searching low and high

I won't get to get what I'm after

Till the day I die



I asked Bobby Dylan

I asked The Beatles

I asked Timothy Leary

But he couldn't help me either



[Chorus]



People tend to hate me

'Cause I never smile

As I ransack their homes

They want to shake my hand



Focusing on nowhere

Investigating miles

I'm a seeker

I'm a really desperate man



I won't get to get what I'm after

Till the day I die



I learned how to raise my voice in anger

Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?

I'm happy when life's good

And when it's bad I cry

I've got values but I don't know how or why



I'm looking for me

You're looking for you

We're looking in at other

And we don't know what to do



[Chorus]

BEACH BOYS lyrics - You're So Good To Me

(Brian Wilson)



You're kinda small

And you're such a doll

I'm glad you're mine

You're so good to me

How come you are



You take my hand

And you understand

When I get in a bad mood

You're so good to me

And I love it, love it



You're my baby

Oh yeah

Don't mean maybe

Oh yeah



I know your eyes

Are not on the guys

When we're apart

You're so true to me

How come you are



And every night

You hold me so tight

When I kiss you goodbye

You're so good to me

And I love it, love it



You're my baby

Oh yeah

Don't mean maybe

Oh yeah



You're my baby

Oh yeah

Don't mean maybe

Oh yeah



You're my baby

Oh yeah

Don't mean maybe

Oh yeah



You're my baby

B. B. KING lyrics - Teardrops From My Eyes

(Rudolph Toombs)



Come back to me, baby

I feel so all alone

It rained last night

And things ain't right

Without my baby home



Every time it rains

I think of you

And that's the time

I feel so blue

When the rain starts falling

My love comes tumbling down

And it's raining

Teardrops from my eyes



If you see clouds

Here in my eyes

It's just because

You said good-bye

Although the sun is shining

There's no more summer skies

'Cause it's raining

Teardrops from my eyes



Remember the night you told me

Our love would always be

I wouldn't be blue and lonely

If you'd come back to me

Every single cloud

Would disappear

I'd wear a smile

If you were here

So baby, won't you hurry

Because I miss you so

And it's raining

Teardrops from my eyes



Remember the night you told me

Our love would always be

I wouldn't be blue and lonely

If you'd come back to me

Every single cloud

Would disappear

I'd wear a smile

If you were here

So baby, won't you hurry

Because I miss you so

And it's raining

Teardrops from my eyes

LOBO lyrics - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)



Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow



Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure

Can I believe

The magic of your eyes

Will you still love me tomorrow



Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the morning sun



I'd like to know

That your love

Is a love I can be sure of

So tell me now

And I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Nostradamus

They never broke my will

'Cause my heart was strong

They would justify

Condemnation by invitation

I will survive



Stood my ground till the end

Engaged the enemy

Protect my friends



Nostradamus, Nostradamus



He has overcome

He can take the throne



Nostradamus - dedication

Nostradamus is avenged

Nostradamus - our salvation

Nostradamus is avenged



I walked through fire to justify

Their inquisitions now condemned to die



Nostradamus, Nostradamus



Adversity on which I thrived

Destroys the alter - now I'm vilified



Nostradamus, Nostradamus



He has seized the day

He is here to stay



Nostradamus - dedication

Nostradamus is avenged

Nostradamus - our salvation

Nostradamus is avenged



Vindication

He has overpowered

This his finest hour



Nostradamus - dedication

Nostradamus is avenged

Nostradamus - our salvation

Nostradamus is avenged

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Last Night I Had A Dream

Last night I had a dream

You were in it, and I was in it with you

And everyone that I know

And everyone that you know was in my dream

I saw a vampire

I saw a ghost

Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most

In the dream I had last night

In the dream I had last night

In my dream



It started out in a barnyard at sundown

And everyone was laughing and you were lying on the ground

You said, "Honey, can you tell me what you name is?"

"Honey, can you tell me what your name is?"

I said, "You know what my name is."



Last night I had a dream

You were in it, I was in it with you

And everyone that I know

And everyone that you know was in my dream

I saw a vampire

I saw a ghost

Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most

In the dream I had last night

In the dream I had last night

In my dream

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Remind Me, Dear Lord

The things that I love

I hold dear to my heart

They are borrowed and

Not mine at all

Jesus only let me use them

To brighten my life

So remind me, remind me dear Lord



Roll back the curtain of memory now and then

Show me where you brought me from and

Where i could have been

Just remember I'm a human and human's forget

So remind me, remind me dear Lord



Nothing good have i done

To deserve God's own Son

I'm not worthy of the scars

In His hands

Yet he chose the road to Calvary

To die in my stead

Why He loved me i can't understand



Roll back the curtain of memory now and then

Show me where you brought me from and

Where i could have been

Just remember I'm a human and human's forget

So remind me, remind me dear Lord



Just remember I'm a human and human's forget

So remind me, remind me dear Lord

JOY DIVISION lyrics - Glass

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,

Anytime, pressurised,

Overheat, overtired,

Take it quick, take it neat,

Clasp your hands, touch your feet,

Take it quick, take it neat,

Take it quick, take it neat.



Hearts fail, young hearts fail,

Anytime, wearing down,

On the run, underground,

Put your hand where it's safe,

Leave your hand where it's safe.



Do it again,

Do it again and again and again...



Anytime, that's your right.

Don't you wish you do it again,

Overheat, overtired.

Don't you wish you do it again...

Anytime, that's your right...

Don't you wish you do it again...

I bet you wish you do it again

Do it again...

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Mr. Tambourine Man

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand

Vanished from my hand left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping

My weariness amazes me I'm branded on my feet

I have no one to meet and the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming



Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship

My senses have been stripped my hands can't feel to grip

My toes too numb to step wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade

Into my own parade cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it



Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun

It's not aimed at anyone it's just escapin' on the run

And but for the sky there are no fences facing



And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme

To your tambourine in time it's just a ragged clown behind

I wouldn't pay it any mind it's just a shadow you're seein' that he’s chasing



Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leaves

The haunted frightened trees out to the windy beach

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow



Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free

Silhouetted by the sea circled by the circus sands

With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow



Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me

In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Little Lies

If I could turn the page

In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two

Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way

So I'll settle for one day to belive in you

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

Although I'm not making plans

I hope that you understand there's a reason why

Close your, close your, close your eyes

No more broken hearts

We're better off apart let's give it a try

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page

In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two

Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way

So I'll settle for one day to belive in you

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me, tell me lies)

LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Private Conversation

(Lyle Lovett)



And his hand it fell behind her

As his arm it reached around

And she looked at the window

And she watched the shade go down



It was a private conversation

No one heard her say

That the man she left behind her

Was two thousand miles away



Singing boy pick up that fiddle

And play that steel guitar

And find yourself a lady

And dance right where you are



There was a lonely girl from nowhere

With a smile all sweet with pain

And she never stopped to wonder

If she'd see him again



It was a private conversation

No one heard her say

That man that she was looking for

Was only twenty streets away



Singing boy pick up that fiddle

And play that steel guitar

And find yourself a lady

And dance right where you are



And the band it just kept playing

As she came walking in

And he never stopped to wonder

If he'd see her again



It was a private conversation

No one heard him say

That girl he left behind him

Was two thousand miles away



He just sang boy pick up that fiddle

And play that steel guitar

And find yourself a lady

And dance right where you are



And the moral of this story

Is I guess it's easier said than done

To look at what you've been through

And to see what you've become



It's a private conversation

No one hears you say

It's a private conversation



And his hand it fell behind her

As his arm it reached around

And she looked at the window

And she watched the shade go down



It was a private conversation

No one heard her say

It was a private conversation

No one heard him say

It was a private conversation

No one heard her say

It was a private conversation

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Mam'selle

A small cafe mam'selle

A rendezvous mam'selle

The violins were warm and sweet and so were you mam'selle

And as the night danced by

Her kiss became a sigh

Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does

No heart ever yearned the way mine does

For you

And yet I know too well

Some day you'll say goodbye

Then violins will cry and so will I mam'selle



And as the night danced by

Her kiss became a sigh

Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does

No heart ever yearned the way mine does

For you

And yet I know too well

Some day you'll say goodbye

Then violins will cry and so will I mam'selle

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Cheater's Town

I'm riding around this cheater's town

Every place I go just bringing me down

I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home



I got a broken heart, torn all in two

Cause every place I look, I picture him and you

And I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home



Yeah baby you lied to me, you lied to me

You stood there you smiled you opened your heart and you lied

And I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

Ever coming home



I'm driving slow, don't know where I'm going

I thought you loved me too, but I was always alone

I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

I don't know



I got a broken heart, torn all in two

Cause everything I had, I gave it all to you

And I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

Coming home

Coming home



Oh baby you lied to me, you lied to me

You opened up your little black heart and you smiled and you lied

And I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

Oh, I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

Oh, I don't know when, I don't know if

I'm ever coming home

Coming home

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Blue Of Blue

(Nicholas Holmes, additional lyrics by Carly Simon)



The blue of blue

Is mostly grey

Ain't no silver line

No brighter day

Last of the coming up

Didn't come my way

Looks like I'm down here to stay

Down to stay



So kick me, I won't feel a thing

My senses have all been run

And there's nothing left of the used to be

but the weeping that's just begun

That sour taste too late

But now I duck my head

And no cradle rocks this empty bed

If crying's not good for me

Then I guess I'm doing wrong

So I sing this crying song

Cry along



You packed it in too soon

You lose me but not your nerve

Well I guess I know it's what I deserve

Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve

And so the curtain falls

Curtain falls

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Black Celebration

Let's have a black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight



To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day



I look to you

How you carry on

When all hope is gone

Can't you see



Your optimistic eyes

Seem like paradise

To someone like

Me



I want to take you

In my arms

Forgetting all I couldn't do today



Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight



To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day



I look to you

And your strong belief

Me, I want relief

Tonight



Consolation

I want so much

Want to feel your touch

Tonight



Take me in your arms

Forgetting all you couldn't do today



Black celebration

I'll drink to that

Black celebration

Tonight

TOM WAITS lyrics - I'm Still Here

(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)



You haven't looked at me that way in years

You dreamed me up and left me here

How long was I dreaming for

What was it you wanted me for



You haven't looked at me that way in years

Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear

Someone turn the lights back off

I'll love you til all time is gone



You haven't looked at me that way in years

But I'm still here

RANDY VANWARMER lyrics - Just When I Needed You Most

You packed in the morning and I

Stared out the window and I

Struggled for something to say

You left in the rain

Without closing the door

I didn't stand in your way



But I miss you more than I

Missed you before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me

Just when I needed you most



(Left me, just when I needed you most)



Now most every morning I

Stare out the window and I

Think about where you might be

I've written you letters

That I'd like to send

If you would just send one to me



'Cause I need you more than I

Needed before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me

Just when I needed you most



(Left me, just when I needed you most)



[Instrumental Interlude]



You packed in the morning I

Stared out the window and I

Struggled for something to say

You left in the rain

Without closing the door

I didn't stand in your way



Now I love you more than I

Loved you before and now

Where I'll find comfort, God knows

'Cause you left me

Just when I needed you most

Oh, yeah

You left me

Just when I needed you most



You left me

Just when I needed you most

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - My Old Man

My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

My old man

Keeping away my blues



He's my sunshine in the morning

He's my fireworks at the end of the day

He's the warmest chord I ever heard

Play that warm chord, play and stay baby

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

My old man

Keeping away my blues



But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide



Then he comes home

And he takes me in his loving arms

And he tells me all his troubles

And he tells me all my charms

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

No, my old man

Keeping away my blues



But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide



My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

No, my old man

Keeping away my lonesome blues

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - I Want It All

I see a river

It's oceans that I want

You have to give me everything

Everything's not enough



It's my desire

To give myself to you

Sometimes



Sometimes I try

Sometimes I lie, with you

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I die, it's true

Somewhere I find

Something that's kind



And I've crossed the line again

A line I drew in sand

Still you give me everything

And everything's not enough



I'm ready but not willing

To give myself to you

Sometimes



Sometimes I try

Sometimes I lie, with you

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I die, it's true

Somewhere I find

Something that's kind



Come on over

Lay down beside me

And I'll try

Come on over

Lay down beside me

And I'll try

And I'll try



I want it all

ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - Man On Fire

(Roger Tailor)



I walk these streets each and every day

Trying to find some work just to earn my pay

Just to make some plans for you some day

But plans don't work and it's not that fine

When you've got no money all you've got is time

Don't it make you stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire

Sometimes I feel like a man possessed

Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town



I walk these streets each and every night

Feel I'm playing my role but it fits too tight

Watch my life go by in black and white

When times are hard and times are rough

Then you better be made of sterner stuff

You'll find it's time to stop and wonder why



I'm smokin' - I'm burnin'

I'm twisting and turning

But one thing I'm learning

It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb

'Cos the beat of your heart is the beat of my drum

Don't it make you stop and wonder why



Sometimes I feel like a man on fire

Sometimes I feel like a man possessed

Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town



Sometimes I feel like a man on fire

Sometimes I feel like a man possessed

Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town



Sometimes I feel like a man on fire

Sometimes I feel like a man possessed

Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town



Sometimes I feel like a man on fire

Sometimes I feel like a man possessed

I wanna burn down this crazy town

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Free Four

The memories of a man in his old age

Are the deeds of a man in his prime.

You suffle in gloom in the sickroom

And talk to yourself till you die.

Life is a short, warm moment

And death is a long cold rest.

You get your chance to try

In the twinkling of an eye:

Eighty years, with luck, or even less.

So all aboard for the American tour,

And maybe you'll make it to the top.

And mind how you go.

I can tell you, because I know.

You may find it hard to get off.

You are the angel of death

And I am the dead man's son.

And he died like a mole in a fox hole.

And everyone is still in the run.

And who is the master of fox hounds?

And who says the hunt has begun?

And who calls the tune in the courtroom?

And who beats the funeral drum?

The memories of a man in his old age

Are the deeds of a man in his prime.

You suffle in gloom in the sickroom

And talk to yourself till you die.

L. L. COOL J lyrics - Hello, Hello

[Chorus: Amil]



Hello, hello (yo, yo) [repeat 6X]

Call me on the telephone..



[LL Cool J]

Whether, 2-1-2, or 7-1-8

Or 9-1-4, I love it hardcore

When it's over the phone, it's safe to do it raw

Imaginary worlds we could both explore

(Hello) Baby what you wearin right now?

(Hot pants) My girl ain't around, let's get down

And I hope the phone's tapped, let's pretend you on my lap

(I'm bouncin up and down with my shoulders back)

(Nigga you like that?) You see I'm runnin up my bill

Momma might hear me, but you just too ill

I got your flicks lined up, stereo low

Cherry flavored grease beneath my elbow

If I was there what would you do? (I'd lay you on your back)

(Ride or die daddy, and I love it like that)



[Chorus]



[LL Cool J]

You the freak of my dreams, the reason that I keep on baggy jeans

(Oooh, I love me a nigga from killer Queens)

(I'ma rub up on your muscles, ride 'til I'm sweatin it)

(I bet you I can make you cum first) Throw the bets in

I'm a nasty nigga, made to order

Kiss below the border with a warm glass of water

Is you wit me? (Yeah) Tell me how it taste

I promise I'll keep the telephone right in my face

How it feel? (Feels good) Where you at? (In the hood)

(Talkin on the phone like a good girl should)

(To my nig', baby I'ma reach my peak)

Strawberry shortcake, good enough to eat

(And I taste mad sweet) We big freaks

Blastin off on the phone seven days a week



[Chorus]



[LL Cool J]

I throw sugar in the water so the ice tastes sweet

to make sure your ex-man can't compete

Shower curtain on the bed, warm baby oil

G-string sittin like a snake in a coil

(Hold on, I think somebody on the other line)

Interrupt this nut I'ma bust, you out your mind

Lay back, imagine us chest to chest

Tongue-kissin deep while we spark a sess

(Everything is crazy, L do it the best)

Ridin rough baby, put my pipe to the test

(On the telephone?) Yeah, this is the ill zone

I wanna make you moan until it's a dial tone [BOOOOO]

However you want it baby, I'm raw to the bone

Three (three) two (two) one (one) telephone



[Chorus]



[LL Cool J]

Yeah, yeah, knamsayin? Word up, that's what I'm talkin about

All you gotta do is hit me, word, I'll call you right back

Yeah.. (??) move this out

Hahaha, what you want me right now

You gon' make me crash or somethin, hehehe, word up

Uhh, uhh

It's that real shit

Uhh..

Hehehehehe..

WILLIE NELSON lyrics - Not That I Care

(Cindy Walker)



So you saw her last night with her new love

Yes they tell me they make quite a pair

And that they both look happy together

I just wonder not that I care



Tell me did she look lovely as ever

Like an angel with golden hair

Does she still close her eyes when she dances

I just wonder not that I care



Once I thought I couldn't live without her

Funny how wrong I could be

Now I hardly ever think about her

What she does doesn't mean a thing to me



Well it's late so I guess I'll be going

Too much smoke what I need is some air

By the way did she ask you about me

I just wonder not that I care

I just wonder not that I care

LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be,

Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.



Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad

Always smiling, never sad, so fine.



[Chorus]

As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song,

Hear me calling your name.

Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.



Well if the sun shines so bright, Or on our way it's darkest night

The road we choose is always right, so fine.



Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong

Will our love go on and on...



[Chorus]



My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,

Tell your friends all around the world,

Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.

Come on now well let me tell you,

What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.



So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure,

Angels singing all around my door, so fine.

Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you,

You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.



When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,

We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs,

Hear me call your name.

STING lyrics - Sister Moon

Sister moon will be my guide

In your blue blue shadows I would hide

All good people asleep tonight

I'm all by myself in your silver light

I would gaze at your face the whole night through

I'd go out of my mind, but for you



Lying in a mother's arms

The primal root of a woman's charms

I'm a stranger to the sun

My eyes are too weak

How cold is a heart

When it's warmth that he seeks?

You watch every night, you don't care what I do

I'd go out of my mind, but for you

I'd go out of my mind, but for you



My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun

My hunger for her explains everything I've done

To howl at the moon the whole night through

And they really don't care if I do

I'd go out of my mind, but for you



Sister Moon

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

"When I was a little girl my father used to say,

"If trouble ever troubles you, just dream your cares away."



A dream is a wish your heart makes

when you're fast asleep.

In dreams you will lose your heartache,

whatever you wish for you keep.



Have faith in your dreams and someday, someday,

your rainbow will come smiling through.

No matter how your heart is grieving,

if you keep on believing

the dream that you wish will come true.



Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,

if you keep on believing

the dream that you wish will come true.

PULP lyrics - Looking For Life

Sure you had something to hide

I took your bag and looked inside

I was looking for life

Nothing inside but memories

The same as those I keep with me

I'm still looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

There's more to love than holding hands

But I think that we both understand

It's part of looking for life

I thought so long I couldn't think

But thought was what was hindering me

And now I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

Yes I'm looking for life

I'm looking for life

I'm looking for life.

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Zero House

You took my pride and I want it back

No more loving on the torture rack

No more running when you call my name

The things we've done, baby make me feel ashamed



Minus me, minus you,

Smoke out, ghost lovers, burn down the zero house



Seven rooms for seven long years

Till only dead people livin' here

Maybe I should mutter this under my breath

But honey I think love scared us to death



Opposites subtract

Smoke out, ghost lovers, burn down the zero house



We're so stupid that it makes me want to scream

Baby I think dogs have better dreams

Would you look at what we try to live up to

Baby I don't want this memory of you



Bad boy, bad girl

Smoke out, ghost lovers, burn down the zero house



We both came here perfectly tempted

And now we're leaving it perfectly empty

Nobody lived here, no woman, no man

Just a couple of flies circling a garbage can

Think about it, buzz a while



Smoke out, ghost lovers, burn down the zero house

Burn it down

Burn down the zero house

Burn, Burn

IGGY POP lyrics - Don't Look Down

Don't look down

They're making sorta crazy sounds

Don't look down no

Don't know who else came to kneel

On this empty battlefield

But when i hear that crazy s0und i don't look down

From central park to shanty town

I always hear that crazy sound

From new york to shanty town

There's always something else

Don't look down. no



I went this morning to the cemetary

To see old rudy valentino buried

Lipstick traces on his name

He never looked down

'cause they were making crazy sounds

From central park to shanty town

He always heard that crazy sound

There's always something else

Don't look down. no



When i see you standing there

I can't see the clothes you wear

I just hear that crazy sound

And i can't look down

I've always heard that crazy sound

From new york to shanty town

There's always something else

Don't look down. no

Don't look down

Ddn't look. don't look down



No i won't be bored i won't be there

Look at life it s no piece of cake



When i hear that crazy sound

I don't look down

From central park to sl-lantr town

I lways hear rhat crazr soljnd

Fiolq new rork to shanty town

There's always something else

Don't look down. no

Don't look down

Ddn't look. don't look down

NEW ORDER lyrics - Broken Promises

Oh I don't know why people lie

And I don't know why people die

Every time I see you, you shout at me

'Cause of all the things in the world that I can't see

But what I think goes on in this world

For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl

Is that the more you earn, the less you learn

There's a fire in life where we will burn



And I never could believe it

And I never could be true

For the things that mean so much to me

Don't mean that much to you

And I never could believe

The way you told me I was wrong

If I'm right and you are sinful

Then for God's sake I was wrong



Oh, I don't know how I think this way,

And yet you sit there looking at me all day

There's more to you than I can see

There's a shadow of another hanging over me

But what I think goes on in this world

For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl

Is that the more you earn, the less you learn

There's a fire in life where we will burn



And I never could believe it

And I never could be true

For the things that mean so much to me

Don't mean that much to you

And I never could believe

The way you told me I was wrong

If I'm right and if you're sinful

Then for God's sake I was wrong



Oh, I'd tear you out of heaven

And I'd tear you out of hell

And I'd see your life in ruins

Because mine lies there as well

And I'd cry out in my loneliness

While you sleep in your peace

But you'll never see my face again

While I need words like these

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - House Behind A House

There's a house behind a house

There's a dream behind a dream

There's a heart outside a heart

There's a hope behind a hope



When two people know that it's time to go

When do they give in

At what point in time do they really find

They must let it end



Lonely faces everywhere

Watch them starin' at their hands

As the walls keep closin' in

As the days go on and on



When two people see it can never be

When do they give up

When do they concede they must let it be

Now they've had enough They've had enough



Lonely faces everywhere

Watch them starin' at their hands

There's a house behind a house

There's a dream behind a dream

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK lyrics - Funky, Funky, Xmas

Ho, ho, ho, oh, little train, my little elf, another great Christmas.

Ah, man, it's boring, it's boring, same thing every year,

so let's have a funky Christmas!



Have a funky funky Christmas, have a funky funky Christmas.

New Kids On The Block, let's rock, it's Christmas time.

We're gonna celebrate it with a rhyme.

Danny D, are you ready? - Ready as I'll ever be

Steady - you know, Joey Joe is ready

Jordan and Jon, yeah, come on, we got a funky, funky Christmas going on.



Have a funky...

Funky Christmas and a funky new year, I swear we got ourselves a party here

Girls on the floor knows our posse at the door

Should I stop - nah cool - here's more of this song, a funky Christmas melody

'cause Jordan K feels so Christmasy

Throw your hands in the air pause, kick the ballistics Santa Claus



Have a funky...

Sneaking downstairs on Christmas Eve

I saw a sight that you just wouldn't believe

St. Nick by the fireplace dusting off his head with a frown on his face

He said hay - said what - he said you - I said what

He said you left the fire burning and I burnt my butt

so now I've learned you've got to turn the fireplace down

so Santa won't get burned



Have a funky...



Have a funky...

Slipping and sliding through the city streets

I'll be in town getting down to the Christmas beat

it's Danny D I'm here with Christmas cheer

no feeling to end the party of the year

it's going I'm showing fresh rhymes I'm throwing

it's snowing outside but we ho-ho-hoing

Santa's on the way, sleigh bells are ringing, swinging, everybody start singing



Have a funky....



It's Christmas, can you swing this?

Funky, dope jam top on your Christmas list, do you dig this?

Boy, there ain't no twist, just something you wish for and you almost missed huh

Funky Christmas and a Happy New Year, how could you be booing it

with Donnie D doing it?



Have a funky....



Ho, ho, ho, this is the MC Santa Claus and my elf little Joe

Yeah, merry Christmas, merry Christmas, we gonna kick the ballistics

of our Christmas wishes.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Isle In The Water

(Rod McKuen)



Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the pantry quietly apart.

There she pours the flour. There she kneads the dough to an isle in the water with her I would go.



Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the parlor quietly apart.

She stands against the window, all in the fire glow to an isle in the water with her I would go.



Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the chamber quietly apart.

And there she smoothes the linen and fluffs the pillows so to an isle in the water with her I would go.





But I cannot sail for my boat has holes. So I rumple her pillow and I stir the coals.

And in the parlor I guess she knows to an isle in the water with her I would go.

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Winter Wonderland

(Wonderland winter wonderland wonderland)

Sleigh bells ring are you listening

In the lane snow is glistening

A beautiful sight oh we're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland



Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a new bird

He's singing a song as we go along

Walking in a winter wonderland



Well in the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say are you married we say no man

But you can do the job when you're in town



Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire

To face unafraid of the plans that we made

Walking in a winter wonderland



(In the meadow we can build a snowman)

And pretend he's a circus clown

We have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down



Oh when it snows ain't it filling

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way

Walking in a winter wonderland



(Wonderland wonderland)

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - The Last Trip To Tulsa

Well, I used to drive a cab,

you know

I heard a siren scream

Pulled over to the corner

And I fell into a dream

There were

two men eating pennies

And three young girls who cried

The West coast is falling,

I see rocks in the sky.

The preacher took his bible

And laid it on the stool.

He said: with

the congregation running,

Why should I play the fool?



Well, I used to be a woman,

you know

I took you for a ride,

I let you fly my airplane

It looked good for your pride.

'Cause you're

the kind of man you know

Who likes what he says.

I wonder what's it's like

To be so far over my head.

Well, the lady made the wedding

And she brought along the ring.

She got down on her knees

And said: Let's

get on with this thing.



Well, I used to be a folk singer

Keeping managers alive,

When you saw me on a corner

And told me I was jive.

So I unlocked your mind, you know

To see what I could see.

If you guarantee the postage,

I'll mail you back the key.

Well I woke up in the morning

With an arrow through my nose

There was an Indian in the corner

Tryin' on my clothes.



Well, I used to be asleep

you know

With blankets on my bed.

I stayed there for a while

'Til they discovered I was dead.

The coroner was friendly

And I liked him quite a lot.

If I hadn't 've been a woman

I guess I'd never have been caught.

They gave me back my house and car

And nothing more was said.



Well, I was driving

down the freeway

When my car ran out of gas.

Pulled over to the station

But I was afraid to ask.

The servicemen were yellow

And the gasoline was green.

Although I knew I couldn't

I thought that I was gonna scream.

That was on my last trip to Tulsa

Just before the snow.

If you ever need a ride there,

Be sure to let me know.



I was chopping down a palm tree

When a friend dropped by to ask

If I would feel less lonely

If he helped me swing the axe.

I said: No, it's

not a case of being lonely

We have here,

I've been working on this palm tree

For eighty seven years

I said: No, it's

not a case of being lonely

We have here,

I've been working on this palm tree

For eighty seven years

He said: Go get lost!

And walked towards his Cadillac.

I chopped down the palm tree

And it landed on his back.

LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Four Walls Of Raiford

(Ronnie Van Zant - Jeff Carlisi)



Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me

Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery

I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time

Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside



And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt

For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt

Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold

Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more



And I comin' home to see you Jesus

Well it feels so close this time

Please take mercy on this soldier

From the Florida-Georgia line



When they find me they must kill me

Oh Jesus save my soul

I can't go back down to Raiford

I can't take that anymore



Well these last few years behind me

Oh Lord, have been so sad

I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad

Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die

Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime



Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me

I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed

Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down

Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground



And I comin' home to see you Jesus

Well it feels so close this time

Please take mercy on this soldier

From the Florida-Georgia line



When they find me they must kill me

Oh Jesus save my soul

I can't go back down to Raiford

I can't take that anymore

EUROPE lyrics - Prisoners In Paradise

(Joey Tempest)



I want to learn how to fly

I want to be respected

I want to get lucky

I want to get out of this dump

I just want to watch TV

I want to be loved

I want to be different

I want a brother and sister

I'd just rather be forgotten

I want to save the world

I want to be understood

I want to be rich

Man, I just want to be somebody



Julie's got the word today

She lost her job just one last pay

Life don't come easy anymore

Still strugglin'on by herself

Got a picture of Jimmy

There on the shelf

And she looks at him and says

Why did we let it go



I know that sometimes baby

We didn't see things eye-to-eye

But I got just one question

Did we have to say goodbye



Just like prisoners in paradise

Still far from heaven's door

We had it all but still we

Wanted more

Now I realize that I can't

Turn back the future's here

To stay but hey

We're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday



Jimmy still recalls the night

When he took his guitar

And headed on out

To find the big time

That was his dream

He gave up his past

And made it alright

But there's something missin'

In his heart tonight

Sometimes what you want

Ain't what you need





He misses drivin' down

To the lake at night

Holdin' his baby

In his arms so tight

Ain't it hard to find illusions

When you're livin' in a memory



Just like prisoners in paradise

So close but yet so far

There will come a time

No matter who you are

When you ask yourself

Was it right or wrong

For me to turn away but hey

We're just children of tomorrow

Hangin' on to yesterday

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Sweet Pretender

(Bolder)



I didn't see you standing there

You took me by surprise

In your long silk dress

And those deep brown eyes

I was captured by your smile

But when fate put out its hand

You're walking to your love

How was I to resist

The passion and the kiss

We raised the future alone



She stole my body and soul

With a heart next to mine

I didn't wanna face the day

But I have no choice when we kiss



She said

Goodnight my sweet pretender

Tonight we live forever

One heart, one soul

On the edge of the world

Goodnight my sweet pretender

Feels like we died together

In each others arms

On the edge of the world



When she touched me so warm

And so was her body

A kiss she gave to me

The name she said to pain and pleasure

Time my soul rescue me

But I know I'd be here on my own

As soon as the sun would rise

I didn't wanna face the day

But I have no choice when we kiss



I've dreamed of a place I know

With the shadows of my past

Still remain

You're buried in the midst of time

For always you'll be the sun that shines

Shines on me

ALICE COOPER lyrics - It's Me

You took a first-class trip to Paris

You danced in the streets of Spain

You followed the sun to Rio de Janeiro

Cuz you got so sick and tired of the

London rain

But honey, late at night

When you close your tires eyes

You'll be there

And I'll be here

And one of us will cry



It's me, it's me

When you need something more

Something you're dying for

It's me, it's me

When you can't see too clear

Baby, I'm always near

It's me



You played your cards, you felt the sorrow

Cuz all that dealer dealt was pain

But baby, where you gonna play tomorrow

The stakes were too damn high

And now, you're broke again

You can trip around till all your

money's blown

But who's the man that'll take you in

When all your luck is gone



It's me, it's me

What are you searching for

I know you can find my door

It's me, it's me

I know you've sinned every sin

But I'll still take you in

It's me



And me, I'm sitting here

Nothing much has changed

You broke my heart to pieces, babe

But that's nothing strange

Well, I ain't angry

That's all come and gone

My arms are still open wide girl

To catch you when you fall



And if someday you realize

Just where you belong

I'm the man that'll take you in

When all your luck's gone

It's me, it's me



When you need something more

Something you're dying for

It's me, it's me

When you can't see too clear

Baby, I'm always near



It's me, it's me

What are you searching for

I know you can find my door

It's me, it's me

I know you've sinned every sin

But I'll still take you in

It's me

Yeah, baby, it's me

THE BYRDS lyrics - Jack Tarr The Sailor

(Traditional, arranged by McGuinn)



When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree

Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be

And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more

But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more



I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed

Me watch it was new and my money was too

And the morning with them she fled

And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar

There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor

He must go to sea once more

As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown

I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown

He said last time you was on board with me you job no score

But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance

And I'll send you to sea once more

They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea

Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow

Jamaica rum would freeze

A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore

It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's ashore



Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song

And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong

Take my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores

But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more

JEFF BECK lyrics - Highway

Well I've been searching uphill down and around and round

Lifes lonely highway

Just traveling round, nothing to be found

Now I know, yes I know that leaving you was wrong

So I'm coming on home, won't be long

Now If I bring you back the love I had

Would you see it through



Well I've been searching uphill down and around and round

Lifes lonely highway

Just traveling round, nothing to be found

Now I know, yes I know that leaving you was wrong

So I'm coming on home baby, won't be long

If I bring you back the love I had

Would you see it through

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Yellow Man

Very far away in a foreign land

Live the yellow woman and the yellow man

He's been around for many-a-year

They say they were there before we were here



Eatin' rice all day

While the children play

You see he believes

In the family

Just like you and me



Oh, yellow man, oh, yellow man

We understand, you know we understand



He keeps his money tight in his hand

With his yellow woman he's a yellow man



Got to have a yellow woman

When you're a yellow man

SANDRA lyrics - Mirrored In Your Eyes

(Cretu-Cornelius/Cretu)



Hey babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

Don't say you don't know why

Oh babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

I feel that it's love

It's love you can't denie



Remember times you touched my skin

I new I would be close

When I said I love you so

But then you run away - why?



Hey babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

Don't say you don't know why

Oh babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

I feel that it's love

It's love you can't denie



hey babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

Don't say you wonder why

Hey babe I'm mirrored in your eyes

I know that it's love

(I know that it's love)

It's love you can't hide

(It's love you can't hide)

Oh babe don't be so shy

(Oh babe don't be so shy)

B'cause I'm mirrored in your eyes

THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Million Miles Away

There was a time, looking through myself

Wanting to pretend

If I escaped, I could fill myself

I don't think you can

Been far and wide

But that hole inside

Never really leaves

When I went away, what I really left

Left behind was me



It's telling me

To be on my way home

Million miles away

I can't stay



Each passing day, every passing face

Seems like such a blur

I long to be

Home, silently

Lying next to her

Just to get back, by her side is all

All I need to be

Cause I went away

But what I really left

Left behind was me



I need to be

Getting on my way home

Million miles away

I can't take

LYLE LOVETT lyrics - They Don't Like Me

(Lyle Lovett)



They don't like me

I can feel it

And I don't like them

It's the same old song

They don't like me

I just know it

But I'd be happy

Just to get along



They try to love me

I know they do

'Cause when I tell them I love you

They say we love you too



But I know

They don't like me

I can feel it

And I don't like them

It's the same old song

They don't like me

I just know it

But I'd be happy

Just to get along



She told me

You can call me mother

He said son just call me dad

We'll treat you like the only boy

We wish we never had



But I know

They don't like me

I can feel it

And I don't like them

It's the same old song

They don't like me

I just know it

But I'd be happy

Just to get along



She said you know he doesn't drink much

And we've never heard him curse

And he's really not that ugly dear

She could've done much worse



But I know

They don't like me

And I don't like them

It's the same old song

They don't like me

I can feel it

But I'd be happy

Just to get along

I'd be happy just to get along

I'd be happy just to get along

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - All MacGyver On It

We're gettin' metal with it

We're all MacGyver on it

It's not provisional and highly temporary

It's the unbroken synapses acting out and talking scary

They'd better listen up and fast 'cause now I'm metal on it

Grab your keys, grab your hat,

Grab your coat, tell your mom

You won't be home 'cause now

We're goin' metal on it



Now we're metal with it

We're all MacGyver on it

Things are different and kinda confrontational

Man, if you can't see, I guess you must be goin' blind

There's nothing left but the smoke that's comin' off the mind



They can run, they can hide

We will never be denied

They start the party quick

By goin' metal on it



We're gettin' metal with it

We're all MacGyver on it

It's not provisional and never temporary

It's the unbroken synapses acting out and talking scary

We're all MacGyver on it.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Green Grasses

(John Stewart)



"Way out by lonely bayou. There waits a girl where the green grasses grow.

Waits she there with a tear in her eye dreaming of years that long have gone by.



How I yearn for the days that are gone! I'd wake in the morning to a whippoorwill song.

There by the fire sits my lady fair. Singing this song as the combs her long hair.



Now I'm thinkin' home I must go 'cause I've been wandrin' where the four winds blow.

Startin' tonight with the big April moon, she'll be by my side by the third day of June.



[Repeat first verse]

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - She Can't Do Anything Wrong

Sixteen years and she lets 'em show

Little bitty queen dancin' on the floor

High heeled shoes keep her right on time

Body makes a little boy lose his mind

And she knows

She Can't Do Anything Wrong



Music's hot and the night is loud

Rhythm from the band burnin' through the crowd

Little sixteen she's goin' strong

She loves to rock and roll it all night long

And she knows

She Can't Do Anything Wrong



Every daddy's son wants a closer look

Every boy want to try to set his hook

She likes playin' numbers if it takes all night

If she goes home alone it'll be alright



Workin' hard tryin' to make it last

She's too young to even have a past

The only child of a mother who prayed

That her daughter wouldn't never turn out this way

And she knows

She Can't Do Anything Wrong



Every daddy's son wants a closer look

Every boy want to try to set his hook

She likes playin' numbers if it takes all night

If she goes home alone it'll be alright



Sixteen years and she lets 'em show

Little bitty queen dancin' on the floor

She knows She Can't Do Anything Wrong

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Evangeline

(Robbie Robertson)



She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Alone in the pale moonlight

Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler

Said that he'd return tonight



They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Lovin' the whole night through

He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'

And bring it on back to you



Evangeline Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

That pulled her man away



Bayou Sam from South Louisian'

Had gamblin' in his veins

Evangeline from the maritime

Was slowly goin' insane



High on the top of a Hickory Hill

She stands in the lightning and thunder

Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'

She watched that Queen go under



Evangeline Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

That pulled her man away



Evangeline Evangeline

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

That pulled her man away

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Pessimistic Lines

So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end

And we're the only ones who can perceive it.

But others sing of beauty and the story that's unfolded

As one that deserves praise and ritual.

My pessimistic lines,

Your superstitious lives,

And the modern age's lies won't absolve you.

And the professorial truth,

And the dear clairvoyant youth,

And of course the nightly news will deceive you.

(Watch out!)

My pessimistic lines,

Your superstitious lives,

And the modern age's lies won't absolve you.

And the professorial truth,

And the dear clairvoyant youth,

And of course the nightly news will deceive you.

(Let's go!)

THE CHURCH lyrics - The Night Is Very Soft

Tiny drops of water glistened on her black fur

Taillights in earshot, headlights shine through her, and on

Legs crossed on the red surge settee

I sat next to nothing and she looked right through me, and on



Inside the car sat a sulky blonde

And on her lap the road went on and on

As she dresses I look to the ground

Perhaps I know where the place can be found, and on



Outside, the night is very soft, but where does it end

We'd pile into the Buick, but you've got to have money for that



92 people taking it too fast

They never noticed where their lines are cast, and on

Legs crossed on the red surge settee

Sat next to nothing and she looked right past me, and on



I've got a milk white electric guitar

Walked in the shop and I peeled off the notes, oh yeah

As she dresses I look to the ground

Perhaps I know where the place can be found, and on

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Where The Wind Don't Whine

(Richard Thompson)



Get in the car she said and drive me into next week

I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak

I never dreamt that we'd be driving into trouble

Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double



I'd say we both were on run, run, run

She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one

She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine

Said I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine

I'll take you where the wind don't whine



Ah the wheels were moaning, we were heading ninety-five

The rain was beating down, my engine was alive

The roads were empty as the day turned into night

With every street lamp her face shone white



I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled

We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles

She said we'll be there in a while, while, while

I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine

I'll take you where the wind don't whine



I was feeling weary when the car died on me

I pulled her over and the strength just drained from me

The price of running's getting dearer and dearer

And nothing ever seems to get nearer and nearer



I suppose I didn't make the grade, grade, grade

When I looked around she'd slipped away, 'way, 'way

Out in the night you'll see her shine, shine, shine

Waiting where the wind don't whine, whine

Waiting where the wind don't whine, whine

Waiting where the wind don't whine

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I Beg Your Pardon, Dear Old Broadway

[1st verse:]

Broadway, Broadway, I've a message from a friend across the foam

From someone who loves you dearly

Tho' he's miles away from home

Kind applause is not his cause

Because I know he loves you true

I'll feel better when I read his letter

Here's the words he wrote to you:



[Refrain:]

I beg your pardon, dear old Broadway

For list'ning to a foreign song

I thought I'd find a street with which you could compete

I only found that I was wrong

My hat's aloft to you, old Broadway

You're in a class alone today

And if I thought for a minute that the others were in it

Won't you pardon me, Broadway?



[2nd verse:]

Broadway, I too said goodbye to all the sights across the sea

Joy! once more for soon I saw

The Statue of Old Liberty!

Hand in air, she greets you there

To drive away all care and pain

Joy smiles at you, while the great big statue

Seems to say, "Never again!"

PATTI SMITH lyrics - My Blakean Year

(Smith)



In my Blakean year I was so disposed

Toward a mission yet unclear Advancing pole by pole



Fortune breathed into my ear Mouthed a simple ode

One road is paved in gold One road is just a road



In my Blakean year Such a woeful schism

The pain of our existence Was not as I envisioned



Boots that trudged from track to track Worn down to the sole

One road is paved in gold One road is just a road



Boots that tramped from track to track Worn down to the sole

One road was paved in gold One road was just a road



In my Blakean year Temptation but a hiss

Just a shallow spear Robed in cowardice



Brace yourself for bitter flack For a life sublime

A labyrinth of riches Never shall unwind

The threads that bind the pilgrim's sack Are stitched into the Blakean back



So throw off your stupid cloak Embrace all that you fear

For joy shall conquer all despair In my Blakean year



So throw off your stupid cloak Embrace all that you fear

For joy shall conquer all despair In my Blakean year

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Emerald City

It was the kinda set you read about in storybooks

Where everybody showed but no one came

And every time I looked into the most familiar face

It seemed they all had gone and changed their names

Ms. Sureal Cartier and Ms. Say-d-Michelline

Provided entertainment for the ball

And even though the sleeper has awakened

I think she never really sleeps at all

I'm going wild in Emerald City

Wild all night long

I'm going wild in Emerald City

Wild all night long

It was the kind of thing you thirsted for but never quenched

Until you happened on an Amstel Light

And even though the brew was cold it couldn't chill me out

And then somebody offered me a light

I said thank-you no Ni Nikki but you know I don't indulge

But how's about electrifying solo

He said I think I could oblige you

With my guitar even blind you

I said hey baby take a walk on the wild side

I'm going wild in Emerald City

Wild all night long

I'm going wild in Emerald City

Listening to the rhythms of my song

Ooo I'm going wild-Ooo I'm going wild

Look around you baby baby everythings so green

You got to feel it baby

Listen to the rhythms of my song

I'm going wild

I'm going crazy

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Walking Song

(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)



[Chorus:]

She's got me walking, got me talking,

Talking to myself. And I've got no money,

Got no honey, trouble is all I have



It happened just the other night

I had been out drinking and I was

Feeling fine, but when I got home

She was at the door, she had fire

In her eyes.

So I tried to keep my cool, wasn't

Much more that I could do.

Then she let me have it right between

The eyes and I knew our love was thru



[Chorus]



Now what is a man to do

When a woman wants it all from you

Says if you want to be my man

Better quit that band and stop

Acting like a fool



[Chorus]

RAY DAVIES lyrics - Peace In Our Time

Hey girl let's begin again and try to help ourselves

We're like weary warriors who just came back from hell

You can keep your territory, I will stay in mine

Carefully negotiate and leave this battleground behind



All we deserve is some peace in our time

Unconditional love is better

Peace in our time



And it really doesn't matter

'Cause the world keeps going round

Just like a rollercoaster

If you let it, it will crush you down



All we deserve is some peace in our time

I don't need no sympathy

Just some peace of mind



The two of us can't take it

Gotta have a truce so we can start

To pull it back together

Otherwise we're gonna fall apart



I'm tearing up the bunch of angry letters that you sent

The living room's a wreck from all the rows

The atmosphere is stifled with aggression

Ultimatums, deadlines and depression



Oh we both deserve a better life

This friction's killing me

Don't want to be a Buddhist but I need some peace and harmony and



All that I ask is some peace in my time

A little bit of understanding peace in our time



And I know that we can make it

But we gotta compromise

Don't want no more division

So end this war and live our lives



'Cause all we deserve is peace in our time

Unconditional understanding peace in our time

I'm tearing up the bunch of angry letters that you sent

Peace in our time

Peace in our time

BABYFACE lyrics - Whip Appeal

Somebody told me

There'd be trouble at home

'Cause we never talk a lot

When we spend time alone

So how are we supposed to know

Know when something is wrong

Well, we've got a right to communicate

It keeps a happy home



And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me



Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me



When we go to work

How the day seems so long

The only thing I think about

Can't wait 'til we get home

'Cause we got a way of talking

And it's better than words

It's the strangest kind of relationship

Oh, but with us it always works



And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me



Whatever you want

It's alright with me

'Cause you've got that whip appeal

So work it on me

It's better than love

Sweet as can be

You've got that whip appeal

So whip it on me



Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me



And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me



[HOOK 4 times]



Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Marie

(Townes Van Zandt)



I stood in line and left my name

Took about six hours or so

Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game

Said they'd let me know



I put in my time till the Pocono line

Shut down two years ago

I was staying at the mission till I met Marie

Now I can't stay there no more



Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man

To move some old cars around

Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out

Van and do a little settlin' down



But I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride

And the junkyard's a pretty good ways

That job's about a half week old besides

It'd be gone now anyway



Unemployment said I got no more checks

And they showed me to the hall

My brother died in Georgia some time ago

I got no one left to call



Summer wasn't bad below the bridge

A little short on food that's all

Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat

We're headed down into fall



I used to play the mouth harp pretty good

Hustled up a little dough

But I got drunk and I woke up rolled

A couple of months ago



They got my harp and they got my dollar

Them low life so and so's

Harps cost money and I ain't got it

It's my own fault, I suppose



The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'

Two freights everyday

If it was just me, I'd be headed south

But Marie can't catch no train



She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby

Says we gotta wait and see

In my heart I know it's a little boy

Hope he don't end up like me



Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file

I gotta stand in line again

I want to kill him but I just say no

I had enough of that line my friend



I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold

I'm feelin' too low down to lie

I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth

Hope she don't break down and cry



Marie she didn't wake up this morning

She didn't even try

She just rolled over and went to Heaven

My little boy safe inside



I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them

Caught a Chesapeak on the fly

Marie will know I'm headed south

So's to meet me by and by



Marie will know I'm headed south

So to meet me by and by
