STEVIE NICKS lyrics - One More Big Time Rock And Roll Star
I told you last night or did you tell me
I think that it was me and I know that you heard it
I was crazy about you that's how it always was
Do you think about me now as I sing about this love
When it rains it pours
When there's no one at the door
Yes he did send me flowers
Well that was a long time ago
Sounded good on a
Delicate white-ribbon card
"One more big time rock and roll star"
Just what I need
As you walk away you know that I will call
If it's just to say goodnight and that is all
Well alright that's a lie she says she wanted you to stay
But you know much better than she
She's better off this way
Undercover music lover
Oh undercover music lover and an art lover like me
There were candles, crystals, I was anyone's fantasy
Say I'm not 'cause the work just gets harder
The work gets...
Oh, one more big time rock and roll star
THE CHANTELS lyrics - Look In My Eyes
(Barrett)
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me
Tell me you love me, or darling I'll be gone
(gone, gone, gone, gone)
Look in my eyes, and tell me that you're the
one for me, and that our love will always be
or darling I'll be gone (gone, gone, gone, gone,
gone)
You said it that time
So glad you're all mine
What's it to be? Do you wanna be?
And let me know, alittle more time
Have that love to be, or darling set me free
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me
Tell me you love me or darling all be gone
(gone, gone, gone, gone)
Do-oooo di, di, di, di, di
Do-oooo di, di, di, di, di

DURAN DURAN lyrics - Lava Lamp
(Duran Duran)
In the half light of the evening
I can almost see you glow
Can tell by the way you're moving
Time may be right to let you know
You got many coloured halo,
The body of Venus, a babe rainbow
And if I come any closer I might fall into your silhouette
But the shape of things to come is constantly changing
So let it, so let it, so let it flow
La la la la lava lamp
La la la la lava lamp
Indigo, violet and blue
Can we meet where the edges blur?
Because I am coming at you
Like a bug eye heading for the burn
Truth is I can't stay away
No, I wanna let you light my volcano
And maybe it's just in my imagination
But you never know
Because the shape of things to come is constantly changing
So let it, so let it, so let it flow
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
So let it, so let it, so let it...
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)
THE HOLLIES lyrics - When I'm Yours
(Head)
Turning me on and with your eyes
Playing along and with your eyes
Coming on strong and with your eyes
You burn me
Searching to please and with your smile
Cursing with ease and with your smile
Kindle the flame and with your smile
You burn me
I'd rather you told me that you couldn't care less
Than put me through numbers that feel like a test
I want you
But I gotta know that I'm wanted
That I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
Turning me on and with your eyes
Playing along and with your eyes
Coming on strong and with your eyes
You burn me
Searching to please and with your smile
Cursing with ease and with your smile
Kindle the flame and with your smile
You burn me
I'd rather you told me that you couldn't care less
Than put me through numbers that feel like a test
I want you
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
[Break]
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever
Drop dead, it doesn't matter, she said
It only hurts when I laugh, she said
Sometimes it's never a crime
To spend the day in bed
She made certain that the curtains were red
To drape better by the light they would shed
She leaned back, tilted her head
And this is what she said
[Chorus:]
You can't win; think it over again
I can't win; look at the trouble I'm in
We can't win and we're stuck here together
Yeah, I hope it will last forever.
Don't ever dare to hope, he said
So I'm never let down too bad
I know there's nowhere to go
So I'll just stay here, instead
He knew better than to pull at a thread
They unravel like the thoughts in his head
He looked out; it filled him with dread
And this is what he said
[Chorus]
With good books and looks on their side
And hearts bursting with national pride
They sang songs that went along for the ride
And the other side complied
They said, "Hey, man, where do you reside?
"And could it be mother's superior lied?
"And is it possible too many have died?"
It's only natural to reply
[Chorus]
BAD RELIGION lyrics - A Walk
I'm going for a walk
not the after dinner kind
I'm gonna use my hands
and I'm gonna use my mind
and who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
you can't even tie your own haggard shoes
your closet is a mess, and your backyard's falling down
and I have no grand ideas or intentions of sticking around
I'm gonna build a world
independant and exempt
all alone I'll be an empire
with no mortgage and no rent
and I don't need to live in your stinking zoo
you can't even feed the animals donated to you
your storage sheds are ramshackled, flies decorate the walls
and you expect me to die here in this shit-filled tiny stall?
and I know you're watching! everything I do
call me threat to your children call me socially unglued
call me master of insanity, unable to relate
call me lazy, bane, and filthy
call me monstrous reprobate
I'm going for a walk and there's nothing you can do
'cuz I don't have to live like you
so I'm going for a walk
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like)
(Dolly Parton)
I know you think you love her and you're making plans to leave
But I must tell you something I just hope you'll believe
I know it isn't real love that you see in her eyes
Cause she's never met a man she didn't like
And you're no different from the others
A new acquaintence in the night
You mean no more to her than all the others she's held tight
But I know she's convinced you it was love at first sight
But she's never met a man she didn't like
I must let you go but I want you to know
That I love you please don't let her ruin our lives
For there'll be other men and she won't want you then
She's never met a man she didn't like
I must let you go but I want you to know
That I love you please don't let her ruin our lives
For she'll have other men oh and she won't want you then
Cause she's never met a man she didn't like
Oh no she's never met a man she didn't like

DON HENLEY lyrics - If Dirt Were Dollars
Walkin' like a millionaire
Smilin' like a king
He leaned his shopping cart against the wall
He said, I been a lot of places
And I seen a lot of things
But, sonny, I seen one thing that beats 'em all
I was flyin' back from lubbock
I saw jesus on the plane
...or maybe it was elvis
You know, they kinda look the same
Hey, look out, junior, you're steppin' on my bed
I said, I don't see nothin
He just glared at me and said,
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore
Lookin' like a beauty queen
Loyal as a wife
She raised her little voice and testified,
I am a good girl
I've been one all my life
But her virtue was as swollen as her pride
She should've had the oscar
She must have been miscast
Her fifteen minutes went by so fast
I said, now, baby, have you got no shame?
She just looked at me, uncomprehendingly
Like cows at a passing train
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore
We got the bully pulpit
And the poisoned pen
We got a press no better
Than the public men
This brave new world
Gone bad again
God's finest little creatures
Looking brave and strong
Whistling past the graveyard
Nothing can go wrong
Quoting from the scriptures
With patriotic tears
We got the same old men
With the same old fears
Standing at attention
Wrapped in stars and stripes
They hear the phantom drummers
And the nonexistent pipes
These days the buck stops nowhere
No one takes the blame
But evil is still evil
In anybody's name
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
We'd all be in the black

PRINCE lyrics - Crazy You
You have got a strange way about ya'... kinda' crazy
But I love you just the same
Because you...
Oh you make me wanna do
Oh everything
I'm just a crazy fool, lost in the world of love
I get from crazy you
Oh, I'm so strung out thinking 'bout the crazy things you do
Crazy you
WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Mermaid's Avenue
In big fur coats and bathing suits
They're in the raggeldy race.
Mermaid Avenue that's the street
Where the fast and slow folks meet,
Where the cold ones meet the hot ones
Just a block from Coney's beach.
Mermaid Avenue that's the place
Where the wolves and haybags chase
In big fur coats and bathing suits
They're in the raggeldy race
But there's never been a mermaid here
On Mermaid Avenue
No, I've never seen a mermaid here
On Mermaid Avenue
I've seen hags and wags and witches;
And I've seen a shark or two
My five years that I've lived along
Old Mermaid's Avenue
Mermaid Avenue that's the street
Where the lox and bagels meet,
Where the hot dog meets the mustard
Where the sour meets the sweet;
Where the beer flows to the ocean
(Where the halvah meets the pickle)
Where the wine runs to the sea;
Why they call it Mermaid Avenue
That's more than I can see.
Mermaid Avenue that's the street
Where the saint and sinners meet;
Where the grey hair meets the wave curls
Where the cops don't ever sleep;
Where they pay some cops to stop you
When you hit that Sea Gate gate;
Where them bulls along that wire fence
Scare the mermaids all away
Mermaid Avenue that's the street
Where the sun and storm clouds meet;
Where the ocean meets that rockwall
Where the boardwalk meets the beach;
Where the prettiest of the maidulas
Leave their legprints in that sand
Just beneath our lovesoaked boardwalk
With the bravest of our lads.
Mermaid Avenue that's the street
Where all colors of goodfolks meet;
Where the smokefish meets the pretzel
Where the borscht sounds like the seas;
This is where hot Mexican Chili
Meets Chop Suey and meatballs sweet;
Mermaid Avenue she's a nervous jerk
But, still, she's hard to beat.
LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - I Wanted Your Love
Yeah, your love...
All of the band was on time for rehearsal
And played everything just right
Then came the news telling me not to worry
The show is selling out tonight
Well, the lights went on and suddenly the crowd began to scream
And as you could well imagine, it was like living a dream
Oh, but when the lights went down and the standing "O" was done
I was just another lonely guy who didn't have no one
[Chorus:]
(I wanted your love, your love baby, your love baby, your love)
(Your love, your love, love, love love, love)
Give me your love, give me your love, give me your love
(I wanted your love, your love baby, your love baby, your love)
(Your love, your love, love, love love, love)
Well Well, your love
So busy daydreaming 'bout you, baby
I didn't even hear the phone
Then, when my friends rang the doorbell it scared me
They said, we're so glad you're home
You just won a million dollars and a trip around the world
Better get yourself together and forget about that girl
They thought I was acting crazy not to get excited too
But all the money in the world could never take the place of you
[Chorus]
All over the city the lights were so pretty
The holiday was filled with cheer
The stars really glistened and lovers were kissin'
It was the special part of the year
So what a perfect time it was to find someone to say I do
Thought that I could still be happy even though she wasn't you
We had told the world that we were gonna ring the wedding bell
But when I really thought about it I was lying to myself
[Chorus and Fade]
BEE GEES lyrics - Nights On Broadway
Here we are in the room full of strangers,
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin' in the line;
How long will they stand between us?
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
I will wait,
even if it takes forever;
I will wait,
even if it takes a life time.
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side.
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a life time, takes a life time.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

DIRE STRAITS lyrics - The Man's Too Strong
I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I'm fading away
Father please hear my confession
I have legalised robbery
Called it a belief
I have run with the money
And hid like a theif
I have re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
'You always were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife'
Oh father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
WILLIE NELSON lyrics - Shame On You
My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job weve done
I say lets put on some tunes
Sing a long and dolittle all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
I go down to chicano city park
Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter time
But when the summer comes everythings in bloom
And you wouldnt know its there
And the white folks like to pretend its not
But their musics in the air
And you can hear em singing
La la la they said shame on you
You can feel em dancing
La la la they said shame on you
My friend tanner she says you know
Me and jesus were of the same heart
The only thing that keeps us distant
Is that I keep fuckin up
I said come on down to chicano city park
And wash your blues away
The beautiful ladies walk right by
You know I never know what to say
And theyll be singing
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
And theyll be dancing
Ooo la la la they said shame on you
Shame on you
Lets go road block trippin in the middle of the night
Up in gainesville town
Therell be blue lights flashin down the long dirt road
When they ask me to step out
They say weve been looking for illegal immigrants
Can we check your car
I say you know its funny
I think we were on the same boat back in 1694
And I said
Oo la la la la la la la la shame on you
Theyll be dancing
La la la I said shame on you
I said
Oo la la la la la la la la la la shame on you
Shame on you la la
La la la la la shame on you
I said
I said
La la la shame on you
Ill be dancing
And theyll be singing
La la la I said shame on you
Shame on you
Road block trippin in the middle of the night
Gainesville town
Blue lights flashin down the long dirt road
PAUL SIMON lyrics - Silent Eyes
(Paul Simon)
Silent Eyes
Watching
Jerusalem
Make her bed of stones
Silent Eyes
No one will comfort her
Jerusalem
Weeps alone
She is sorrow
Sorrow
She burns like aflame
And she calls my name
Silent Eyes
Burning
In the desert sun
Halfway to Jerusalem
And we shall all be called as witnesses
Each and every one
To stand before the eyes of God
And speak what was done
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Engine 143
(Traditional)
Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line
Running o'er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind
Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line
Receiving there strict orders from a station just behind
Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
Saying my darling son be careful how you run
For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time
And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time
Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed
Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast was smashed
His head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling high
I'm glad to be born for an engineer on the C&O road to die
The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy lie still
Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will
Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free
I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty three
The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved
Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave
His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee

GEORGE BENSON lyrics - On Broadway
They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
BAD RELIGION lyrics - Flat Earth Society
lie lie lie... the full moon is rising over dark water and the fools
below are picking up sticks and the man in the gallows lies
permanently waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him, the
flat earth society is meeting here today, singing happy little lies
and the bright ship humana is sent far away with grave
determination... and no destination, lie lie lie... yeah, nothing
feels better than a spray of clean water and the whistling wind on a
calm summer night but you'd better believe that down in their quarters
the men are holding on for their dear lives, the flat earth society is
somewhere far away, with their candlesticks and compasses and the
bright ship humana is well on its way with grave determination... and
no destination, lie lie lie, ad inifinitum

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Dharma For One
[Introduction:]
She's really turned on by the television, and vice versa.
Here's a song called, ??. Yes, right. Rearranged though,
nevertheless. A new lease on life. In other words, it's just a bit
louder. ``Dharma For One''.
[Lyrics:]
Dharma, seek and you will find
truth within your mind, Dharma.
Dharma, each to his own we say,
together we'll end astray, Dharma.
Truth is like freedom, it doesn't fool me.
Be true to yourself, never think that you're free.
Dharma will come eventually.
[Outtroduction:]
Thank you! ??

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Circus Is Coming To Town
[1st verse:]
Honey, did you see that bill
Pasted there on yonder hill?
Kindly pay attention
To what the letters mention
'Twill give you a wonderful thrill
Chase away those weary blues
Ain't you heard the happy news?
[Refrain:]
'Circus is coming to town
'Circus is coming to town
Two dozen acrobats from o'er the foam
And Salome
Hip-hip-hippodrome
Come see the comical clown
Turning himself upside-down
Come and purchase a photograph
Of the freaks and the big giraffe
Open your dining room and start to laugh
The circus is coming to town
[2nd verse:]
Come and see the big parade
Jazzy music will be played
Just before we're seated
I'll see that you are treated
To peanuts and red lemonade
Barnum had the right idea
Come and give him one big cheer
JOHN AND MARY lyrics - The Azalea Festival
(John Lombardo/Mary Ramsey)
Like strangers on the road, a distant view
I saw someone who looked like you
My blood ran chill as snow, my body shook
I'd only found where not to look
I'd hung the sky with stars, in hopes you came
I called you by your childhood name
Tears raining in my heart, a funeral kiss
I never thought it'd end like this
Not you alone you won't delay
Or wound the dawning of the day
Not you alone this voice is screaming
A ray of hope, get up stop dreaming
With joined hands and downcast eyes, the curious crowd
Very angry and very loud
The saddest of farewells, the pouring rain
A ticket on an empty train
I am too near so much to lose
I wonder how she'll take the news
Like emeralds from the sky, the green pier lights
How children would have loved those sights
Hearts ticking through the night, the morning bells
The wait for death in shore hotels
Not you alone... I am too near...
Coffins with sails set by the brave
Sharp pointed spears around each grave
JOURNEY lyrics - World Gone Wild
(Schon/Cain/Blades)
See the signs, madness all around us
Somewhere I hear sirens wailing thru the night
Read The Times, starts to make me wonder is there
More to life than black and white
I'd never thought I'd question (thought I'd question)
The doubt I'm seeing everywhere (doubt I'm seeing everywhere)
Standing here beside me you're the answer (you're the answer)
When I lose my faith you're there
[Chorus:]
Face the fire, in a world gone wild
You're the fortress in my life
See the world through a child's eyes
They can't fool me now
I don't believe it's all a world gone wild
It's a lie, the more you get the more you want, it leads to nowhere
Should have learned by now
What is life without someone to share
The mountains that you climb to reach the sky
With everyone uncertain (everyone uncertain)
The future's never really clear (never really clear)
Standing here beside me you're the reason
I found my faith again with you here
[Chorus]
They can't bring me down
I don't believe it's all a world gone wild
Now you can count on me to keep you safe
I'll be your shelter from the storm
Come lay down with me, and let our spirits melt us into one
[Chorus]
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Old Rugged Cross
(George Bernard)
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown
[ piano ]
Oh that old rugged cross so despised by the world is a wonderous attraction for me
For the dear lamb of God left this glory above to bare it to dark calvary
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross...
BON JOVI lyrics - Seat Next To You
A long slow drive down an old dirt road
You've got your hand out the window, listenin' to the radio
That's where I wanna be
On an old park bench in the middle of December
Cold hard rain fallin, can't find no cover
That would be alright with me
Hard days, good times, blue skies, dark nights
Baby, I want you to take me, wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me, a seat next to you
In the corner booth of a downtown bar
With your head on my shoulder smokin on a cheap cigar
That would be alright with me
In the back row of a movie or a cross-town train
I wanna hear your voice whispering my name
That's where I wanna be
Hard days, good times, blue skies, dark nights
Baby, say that you'll take me, wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me, a seat next to you
Life is like a ferris wheel spinnin around
When you get to the top it's hard to look down
Just hang on we'll make it through
Save me a seat next to you
When you get to the gates and the angels sing
Go to that place where the church bells ring
You know I'll come runnin, runnin to find you
Baby, say that you'll take me, wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me, a seat next to you

J. J. CALE lyrics - Downtown L. A
(J. J. Cale)
Downtown L. A. is a depressing place
You can see young men with deep lines in their face
They could all be something if somebody cared
But nobody knows they're even down there
Old woman walking with a sack on her back
Picking up the garbage people put out back
Men down there trying to walk the line
Trading their soul for a bottle of wine
In the inner city it ain't no good
It's a long, long way from Hollywood
Bad kind of people got a hold of the street
They got something that the poor people need
At two in the morning they bust your head
Fat chance walking you'll end up dead
It' the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife
If you stay long enough you lose your life
Man down there he couldn't be lying
He was sleeping in the street and he couldn't keep from crying
Said he'd been there for twenty one years
Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears
Prop up the front the back falls down
All around the canyons of L. A. town
When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face
Downtown L. A. is a depressing place
PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - The Back Seat Of My Car
Speed along the highway,
Honey, i want it my way.
But listen to her daddy's song,
Don't stay out too long.
Oo, we're just busy hiding,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
Looking for a ride and all about,
Looking for a ride in and out of town,
Strolling around and all about,
Looking for a ride in and out of...
The laser lights are pretty,
We may end up in mexico city.
But listen to her daddy's song,
Making love is wrong.
Oo, we're just busy riding,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
Oh, oh,....
Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah,
Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah.
For we was only hiding,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
Yeah, .
And when we finished driving,
We can say we were late in arriving.
And listen to her daddy's song,
We believe that we can't be wrong, yeah!
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
We can make it to mexico city,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
Oh, oh,...
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
No, no, no, ...
We believe we can't be wrong,
Yeah! yeah! yeah!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

THE CHURCH lyrics - Travel By Thought
I know it was the wind that kept your door closed
The echo of another time, an age of beauty
She lived in the future, she lived in the past
She gave it all to me, she gave it all to me
Travel by thought
Don't think I've forgotten the thoughts of your room
It told unlikely tales, an age of beauty
Some nights I walk through the heat to your street
I lose my bearings, but then I can see clearly
Travel by thought
Where do you want to go? (Anywhere that you want)
Imagine the feeling before that last jump
Come back to mother earth, an age of beauty
Oh you just can't define, the sad things in your mind
Just give them all to me
Just give them to me
Just give them all to me
Travel by thought
Where do you want me?
Where do you want it?
What do you want to bring?
Where?
Where do you want it?
Who do you want?
Who do you want?
Where do you want it?
Where do you want it?
How you want it?
What do you want?
What do you want?
Who do you want?
Who do you want?
Who you want?
Who you want?
Why do you want to go anywhere that ignorant?
Travel by thought
Who do you want?
Where do you want to go?
Don't think I've forgotten
The stranger's arms
That scares the bird that carries home dinner
The eggshell arms of the eggshell earth
Don't think I've forgotten
As birds in the air do what they please
Don't think I'll keep that promise
I can feel the breeze coming on us
Don't think I've forgotten
Travel by thought
Travel by thought

DAN MCCAFERTY lyrics - Headin' For South America
August, 15, 1989: One hundned men from all over the world sailed
across the sea, hoping to discover an island somewhere beyond the
horizon... nowhere-land. They left their wives and children behind,
hoping that someday they shall follow...
Let's make sail the wind is right
Weigh the anchor fast
Say farewell to kids and wife
We're taking off at last
We're heading for South America
Seeking for an island
Where no one else has been before
Where no one else has stepped ashore
Shift the helm to South of West
Let's sail into the night
We're gliding through the ocean fast
Although the devil smiles
For somewhere in South America
Waits an island in the sun
Where noone else has been before
Where no man at arms has stepped ashore
Let's make sail the wind is right
Weigh the anchor fast
Say farewell to kids and wife
We're taking off at last
We're heading for South America
Seeking for an island
Where no one and nothing has been before
We'll even sail a year or more
THE HOLLIES lyrics - My Love
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Ooh my love, ooh ooh my love
Please don t take my advances too lightly
Don't be hasty, let the feelin' come straight from your heart
You've been burned too many times before
Accept my love I'm gonna give it to you
Please don't forsake it and take it and make it my love
I can see what you're thinkin' but I won't let you down
Let your love show and don't think of the past
Come tomorrow you'll be happy with the feeling you've found
I'm no fool and I ain't clownin' around
And if you should want to throw it all away,
It'll be you who doesn't want to
Want to make me stay
Come on and do it my way
Ooh my love, ooh ooh my love
[Verse 4]
Please don't take my advances too lightly
Let your love show and don't think of the past
Accept my love, I'm gonna give it to
Please don t forsake it and take it and make it
Please don t forsake it and take it and make it my love
Ooh my love, ooh ooh my love
GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - The Chill Of An Early Fall
Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way.
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall.
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls,
There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls.
Oh I'll be sobersome,
But when October comes and goes and no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow.
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow.
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight;
I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.
Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago, and I'll know that's not all,
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

GARY MOORE lyrics - Burning In Our Hearts
(Gary Moore)
When the night goes to sleep,
And the world keeps turnin'.
All alone in my room
With a love that's burnin'.
It's been so long
Since I found what I'm lookin' for.
Give me your love,
Bring it on home to me.
Love is deep as the ocean.
Love is what keeps us apart.
Love is a sea of emotion,
A fire that burns in our hearts.
When the night goes to sleep,
And the world keeps turnin'.
All alone in my room
With a love that's burnin'.
It's been so long
Since I found what I'm lookin' for.
Give me your love,
Bring it on home to me.
Love is deep as the ocean.
Love is what keeps us apart.
Love is a sea of emotion,
A fire that burns in our hearts.
When the night goes to sleep,
And the world keeps turnin'.
All alone in my room
With a love that's burnin'.
It's been so long
Since I found what I'm lookin' for.
Give me your love,
Bring it on home to me.
Love is deep as the ocean.
Love is what keeps us apart.
Love is a sea of devotion,
A fire that burns in our hearts,
A fire that burns in our hearts.
Love is as deep as the ocean.
Love is a sea of emotion.
Love is as deep as the ocean.
Love is a sea of emotion.
SYD BARRETT lyrics - If It's In You
(Barrett)
Yes I'm thinking of this, yes I am
Puddle town, Tom was the underground
Hold you tighter so close, yes you are
Please hold on to the steel rail
Colonel with gloves
He isn't loved on 'Sundays Mail'
All the fives crock Henrietta
She's mean go-getter
Gotta write her a letter.
Did I wink of this, I am
Yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...
Yes, I'm thinking of this, in steam
Skeleton kissed to the steel rail
Fleas in Pamela
Chugging along with a funnel of steam
All the fives crock Henrietta
She's mean go-getter
Gotta write her a letter...

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Haven't Got A Clue
You haven't got a clue
And you don't know what to do
You used your money and your friends
To try and trick me
But you won't trick me
As far as I can tell
You've created your own hell
And now you walk around this place
Expecting pity
Every time you throw a fit
I can't decide
If you're full of it
And every time you state your case
The more I want to punch your face
I go doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
I still can't believe
All your plastic surgeries
And now it's everybody's problem
That you're unhappy
Oh, come on!
Every time you state your case
The more I'd like to punch your face
Every time you state your case
The more I want to punch your face
And every time you state your case
The more I want to punch your face
I go doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo [11x]
PROCOL HARUM lyrics - All Our Dreams Are Sold
(G. Brooker / K. Reid / R. Trower)
Rings upon your fingers
Bells upon your toes
Ev'ry day's a game of chance
Ev'ry body knows
In the king's apartment
Heavy lies the crown
There must be a thousand ways
To bring that castle down
Wave the mighty dollar
Make us live again
Lead and we will follow
Faithful to the end
Wave the mighty dollar
Pave the streets with gold
Lead us by the collar
All our dreams are sold
Rings upon your finger
Stardust in your hair
Jumping through that wall of fire
All for the market share
In the king's apartment
Desperate human greed
Try to find a diff'rent way
Satisfy that need
Wave the mighty dollar
Make us live again
Lead and we will follow
Faithful to the end
Wave the mighty dollar
Pave the streets with gold
Lead us by the collar
All our dreams are sold
RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - It Was Beautiful
Lord: Deep within my heart
Still there glows an ember
One golden dream that only I remember
Long ago
Blue, the deepest blue
How it shown within me
Greens and golds delight the darkness in me
Long ago I dream
Long ago I dream
But once I've dreamed
And it was beautiful
It was beautiful, beautiful
Deep within my heart
I dream

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Captured Angel
Found your heart and lost your lover
Lick your wounds and run for cover
Take your time, there'll be another
And don't make the same mistake twice
Unless you can pay the price
All the years that you spent in growing
End up one more line you're towing
Don't look now but your age is showing
And it's much too late to turn back
You better pull in the slack
[Chorus:]
Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now...
Fly now, fly now
While your wings are still young
Your cage door's been flung wide open...
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside me
If you ever need it
Sold your dreams
For sweet salvation
Left with righteous indignation
Now it seems that you face starvation
And nourishment doesn't come cheap
You better go back to sleep
[Chorus]
ENIGMA lyrics - Morphing Thru Time
Earth.
A biosphere.
A complex, subtly balanced
Life support system.
Et turtur nidum,
Ubi reponat pullos suos
Altaria tua Domine virtutum,
Rex meus, et Deus meus
We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why
If we're following our mind
We can glide into light
No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing thru time
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why
We're just travellers
In endless space
If we're following our mind
We can glide into light
No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing thru time
SADE lyrics - Smooth Operator
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky
Heaven help him, when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Gunslinger
Lookin' out across this town
Kinda makes me wonder how
All the things that make us great
Got left so hard behind
This used to be a peaceful place
Decent folks hard workin' ways
Now they hide behind locked doors
Afraid to speak their minds
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
Someone let the fences go
Wild eyed bunch moved in you know
Shootin' up the streets shoutin' everybody down
Dogs all runnin' loose
Wrecked the papers, closed the school
Tired old judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "What's the use?"
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Put It There Pal
(Richard Thompson)
Old friend, it's been so long, and it's been so real
And if I helped you once it was no big deal
Too bad I can't be there when they call your name
They're going to write you down in the hall of fame
You really got what you wanted, I'm thrilled as pie
It really couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Put it there pal, put it there
Now and then just throw me a crumb
Put it there pal, put it there
Thanks for the help when I needed it, chum
You saw me drowning, you said I was a fake and laughed
Then you jumped right in and used me for a raft
You shot me down with friendly fire
You were all dressed up to play Gun For Hire
The rope you threw me was made of barbed wire
But put it there pal, put it there, pal
Put it there
I know you mean well, call me a sentimental fool
I know sometimes you've got to be kind to be cruel
When you pat me on the back, that was quite some slap
That kind of compliment, it could kill a chap
So I'll drink your health, oh this emotion's given me a thirst
But maybe I'll have my food-taster drink it first
Put it there pal, put it there
You deserve everything you got coming
Put it there pal, put it there
Call me up if you want to come slumming
Some say you're a rattlesnake in the grass
But I say the sun shines out of your arse
So it's no hard feelings, live and let live
With a gift like yours, you're born to give
You're so full of love it leaks out like a sieve
So put it there pal, put it there pal
Put it there
Put it there
Put it there
Put it there, pal
Put it there, pal
Put it there, pal

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - White Christmas
(Irving Berlin)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten, and children listen,
To hear, sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white!
TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Ankle Deep
Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer
Took all winter to get through the summer
The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled
She didn't speak for a week
Just kinda mumbled
Ankle deep in love [4x]
He was caught up in a lie he half believed
Found her hiding high in the family tree
Washed his hands and put her cross his knee
She said daddy "you been a mother to me"
Ankle deep in love [4x]
B. B. KING lyrics - Your Fool
(B. B. King)
Yes, I'm changin' my ways, baby, ain't gonna be like I used to be
All my past is behind me, baby, I ain't gonna be like I used to be
I used to give you all my money, woman, and I wouldn't save a dime for me
Yeah, you used to treat me like a fool, still I loved everything you done
I was just your fool, I was just your fool, baby
Yes, if you ever, if you ever love me, woman, yes, I tell you, baby

STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Get Into The Wind
Out on the highway, looking for a sign
That will lead me to the canyon
Got to meet some friends of mine
I can feel the fires burnin'
As I ride into the light
Got to keep the wheels turnin'
If I have to ride all night.
Cause time is a wastin'
They got wine for the tastin'
Woh...Don't you know
Got to get into the wind.
I can hear the whistle blowin'
As I'm comin' to the track
Got to get to where I'm goin'
Cause you know I can't go back
There is somethin' deep inside me
I can feel the chilly night
My body's tired and restless
But, Lord, I've got to fight.
When I get to where I'm goin'
I know just what I'll find
The fires will be glowin'
So I've got to make some time
Ain't nothin' gonna stop me
Though it's gettin' mighty cool
I've got to keep on goin'
Cause the canyon is my home
STEVE EARLE lyrics - City Of Immigrants
Livin' in a city of immigrants
I don't need to go travelin'
Open my door and the world walks in
Livin' in a city of immigrants
Livin' in a city that never sleeps
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats
Singin' in languages I don't speak
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black
City of white
City of light
City of innocents
City of sweat
City of tears
City of prayers
City of immigrants
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
Reach up to touch the sky and then
Tumble back down to earth again
Livin' in a city that never quits
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
With good intentions and a people's faith
In the sacred promise a statue made
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone
City of steel
City of wheels
Constantly spinnin'
City of bone
City of skin
City of pain
City of immigrants
All of us are immigrants
Every daughter, every son
Everyone is everyone
All of us are immigrants - everyone
Livin' in a city of immigrants
River flows out and the sea rolls in
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black
City of white
City of light
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of sweat
City of tears
City of prayers
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone
City of steel
City of wheels
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of bone
City of skin
City of pain
City of immigrants
All of us are immigrants

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Love And Luck
(Jimmy Buffett, J. Beroard, J. C. Naimro)
Better days are in the cards I feel
Feel it in the changin' wind
I feel it when I fly
So talk to me I'll listen to your story
I've been around enough to know
That there's more than meets the eye
Everybody needs a little good luck charm
A little gris gris keeps you safe from harm
Rub yours on me, and I'll rub mine on you
Luckiest couple on the avenue
With a little love and luck
You will get by
With a little love and luck
We'll take the sky
In this megalo-modern world
You've got to try
Try a little love and luck
And you'll get by
Mysteries don't ever try to solve them
We're just players in a game
And no one's keeping score
So have your fun
Go ahead and tell your story
Find yourself a lover
Who will glue you to the floor
Everybody needs a little good luck charm
A little gris gris keeps you safe from harm
Rub yours on me, and I'll rub mine on you
Luckiest couple on the avenue
With a little love and luck
You will get by
With a little love and luck
We'll take the sky
In this megalo-modern world
We've got to try
Try a little love and luck
And you'll get by
Kole sere kole sere
Kole sere kole sere
Kole sere kole sere
Kole sere kole sere
With a little love and luck
You will get by
With a little love and luck
We'll take the sky
In this megalo-modern world
You've got to try
Try a little love and luck
And you'll get by
Kole sere, kole sere
Kole sere, kole sere
Kole sere, kole sere
Kole sere, kole sere
With a little love and luck
You will get by
With a little love and luck
We'll take the sky
Love and luck
We will get by
BOB DYLAN lyrics - High Water (For Charley Patton)
High water risin' - risin' night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere
High water risin', the shacks are slidin' down
Folks lose their possessions - folks are leaving town
Bertha Mason shook it - broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You're dancin' with whom they tell you to
Or you don't dance at all."
It's tough out there
High water everywhere
I got a cravin' love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out there
High water everywhere
High water risin', six inches 'bove my head
Coffins droppin' in the street
Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me," she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"
It's rough out there
High water everywhere
Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
"You can't open your mind, boys
To every conceivable point of view."
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the High Sheriff,
"I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don't care."
High Water everywhere
The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the Word of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, she said, "Take it off the shelf -
As great as you are a man,
You'll never be greater than yourself."
I told her I didn't really care
High water everywhere
I'm getting' up in the morning - I believe I'll dust my broom
Keeping away from the women
I'm givin' 'em lots of room
Thunder rolling over Clarksdale, everything is looking blue
I just can't be happy, love
Unless you're happy too
It's bad out there
High water everywhere
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Truck Driver Divorce

Deliver some string beans,
Deliver some string beans,

THE KINKS lyrics - Sunny Afternoon
The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
BUDDY GUY lyrics - There Is Something On Your Mind
(Big Jack McNeely)
There is something on your mind, by the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, by the way you look at me
Can what you're thinking bring happiness, or will it bring me, huh just misery
No, no please don't try to tell me, I'll think I can understand
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ohoh, don't try to tell me, baby, I'll think I will a understand
You want me to try and forgive you
But you can bet I'll do, I'll do, I'll do the, I'll do the best that I can
If you ever think about me, if I ever cross you're mind
Oh, Lord, if you ever, if you ever, if you ever think about me baby
If I ever cross your mind, yeah
I want you to know, I want you to know, ohoh, yeah
That you, you, you, you are mine

TOM WAITS lyrics - More Than Rain
It's more than rain that falls on our parade tonight
it's more than thunder it's more than thunder
it's more than a swindle this crooked card game
it's more than sad times it's more than sad times
none of our pockets are filled with gold
nobody's caught the boquet
there are no dead presidents we can fold
nothing is going our way
and it's more than goodbye I have to say to you
it's more than woe-be-gotten grey skies now
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Midnight Special
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me,
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight...
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on me.
Yonder come miss Rosey,
How in the world do you know,
How in the world do you know?
Well, I know her by her apron
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
A piece of paper in her hand,
She gonna tell old John
She want back her man,
She want back her man.
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me.
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight...
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on...
If you ever go to Houston,
Yeah, you better walk right,
You'd better not gamble
And sure thing better not fight.
The next thing you know
The sheriff gonna arrest you
And some judge send you down
And you can bet your bottom dollar
Lord, you'll be chaingang bound,
Chaingang bound.
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine, shine, shine,
Let the midnight special
Shine on,
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Shine on me, yeah.
Let the midnight special
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine on me,
Let the midnight special
Way into midnight,
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Way into midnight, baby,
Let the midnight special
Waah...
DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Woman
Girlfriend can we talk
Well I have something to say
Girl when you're dealing with
Your man
There just ain't no easy way, no
Easy way
Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
God he made the woman
God he made the man
Knew just what he wanted in his
Master plan
Want your man to love you with all
His heart and soul
Let him be who he is
Let him take control
You're a woman and you got the
Right to be one
Let him know it
Let your life begin to show some
Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
Want him to be faithful
Love and understand
Want him to be kind
Be your lovin' man
Forget about the hard times
Think about the good
That's when he will treat you just
The way he should
You're a woman and you got the
Right to be one
Let him know it
Let your life begin to show some
Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
You're a woman and you got the
Right to be one
You're a woman
You're a woman and you got the
Right to be one
You're a woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Nightmare
Close my eyes starting dreaming
See a vision filled with wings
Head my way
Feel the presence of unknown power
Telling me to come
This is the only way
It's dream within dream
Lost and lonely
Don't get pulled by the devil's hand
Silent screamer filled with fear
As the night time shapes a face
Then disappears
Scared forever into believing
That your mind has met the
Prince of whom you see
It's dream within dream
Lost and lonely
Don't get fooled by the
Devil's hand
It's dream within dream
Fool forever, don't get fooled
Forever
Don't get fooled, be the devil
In your eyes
The evil spirit rises
Blinded by the dark
You fall into shame
As the reaper takes you
Down the spiral stairway
You share the evil pit
With satan's name
Nightmare it's got me runnin'
Nightmare it's calling you
Nightmare it's got me runnin'
Nightmare it's calling you
It's dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't get fooled, be the devil
It's dream within a dream
Lost forever
Don't get fooled
It's got me running
It's just a nightmare
It's got me running
It's got me running

THE CURE lyrics - You're So Happy (You Could Kill Me!)
So you don't care about the beautiful people
But you'll try one just the same
Yeah I know you can love it or leave it
You're just playing a game...
Again
Oh you don't care about the famously stupid
But you'll live it for a while
Oh I know you're only doing that irony thing
When you smile but don't smile...
You don't care about what anyone else is
Don't care what they do or they say
You live your own life in your own time
And in your own dead indifferent way
Yeah... in your own time...
No you don't care about the fabulous in things
But you'll be one just in case
Yeah I know you can take it or leave it
You're just having a taste...
Don't give a fuck about what anyone else is
Don't give a fuck what they do or they say
Yeah you are as you feel in your own time
And in your own dead indifferent way
And you will swear on any life but your own
That you're happy! happy how it all is...
At least it's the way that you think I should think
That you think about any of this
About any of this... yeah... and it's so much more than you ever need...
And you will swear on any lie but your own
That you're happy! happy how it all is...
At least it's the way that you think I should think
That you think about any of this...
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
So happy... you could kill me!
10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Anthem For Doomed Youth
(music: John Lombardo / lyrics : John Lombardo / Wilfred Owen)
For whom the bells toll
When sentenced to die
The stuttering rifles
Will stifle the cry
The monstrous anger
The fear's rapid rattle
A desert inferno
Kids dying like cattle
Don't tell me
We're not prepared
I've seen today's marine
He's eighteen and he's eager
He can be quite mean
No mock'ries for them
No prayers or bells
The demented choirs
The wailing of shells
The boys holding candles
On untraveled roads
The fear spreads like fire
As shrapnel explodes
I think it's wrong
To conscript our youth
Against their will
When plenty of our citizenry
Really like to kill
What sign posts will lead
To armageddon's fires
What bugles will call them
From crowded grey shires
The women sit quiet
With death on their minds
A slow dusk descending
The drawing of blinds
Make the hunters all line up
It's their idea of fun
And let those be forgiven
Who never owned a gun
Was it him or me
Or the wailing of the dead
The laughing soldiers
Cast their lots
And you can cut the dread
SAILCAT lyrics - Motorcycle Mama
Tell your Daddy and your Mama too
You got something better to do
Stick around the house the rest of your life
You're eighteen you can do what you like
You'll be the queen of my highway
My motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley
We'll get matching jackets and helmets too
We'll get respect from the towns we ride through
We'll sleep at the roadside in the soft green grass
And if the squares walk by we'll let them pass
You'll be the queen of my highway
My motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley
And maybe in a year or two
We'll have a little one
She'll look just like you
We'll add on a sidecar
Electric guitar
We'll be a trio
The baby makes three, oh
Tell your Daddy and your Mama too
You got something better to do
Stick around the house the rest of your life
You're eighteen you can be my wife
You'll be the queen of my highway
My motorcycle mama
We'll see the world through my Harley
We'll see the world through my Harley
We'll see the world through my Harley
If the chain don't break
THE KINKS lyrics - Listen To Me
You gotta listen to me
Every little thing I wanna say to you
All the little things that I've gotta do
If you listen to me
You gotta listen to me and do things my way
And listen to what I've got to say
You know you gotta listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
You gotta listen to me
I'm gonna take, gonna take care of you
Dedicate my life for you
If you listen to me
You gotta listen to me and do things my way
And listen to what I've got to say
You know you gotta listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
You gotta listen to me
Gonna let, gonna let the whole world know
Never gonna let you [?]
You gotta listen to me
You gotta listen to me and do things my way
And listen to what I've got to say
You know you gotta listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
PHISH lyrics - Free
I'm floating in the blimp a lot
I feel the feeling I forgot
Swimming weightless in the womb
Bouncing gently round the room
In a minute I'll be free
And we'll be splashing in the sea
I feel no curiosity
I see the path ahead of me
In a minute I'll be free
And we'll be splashing in the sea
We hear a tiny cry
As the ship goes sliding by
Free!
Free!
Free!
I'm floating in the blimp a lot
I feel the feeling I forgot
I'm floating in the blimp a lot
I feel free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
Free!

METALLICA lyrics - The Wait
(Killing Joke)
Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body's poisoned
Got to sit tight
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
Just another birth
Of distorted views
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG lyrics - 4-Way Street Medley
He's a perfect stranger
Like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforseen danger
The keeper of the key to the locks
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner
If you see him in the subway
He'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move
Until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off at your station alone
He'll know that you are
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide...
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
The rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes,
A bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
And waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl...
Be on my side,
I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me
Staying here all alone
When you could be taking me
For a ride.
Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead.
You take my hand,
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is
Too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today.
Yeah, she could drag me
Over the rainbow,
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead.
Be on my side,
I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me
Staying here all alone
When you could be taking me
For a ride.
BEE GEES lyrics - Jive Talkin'
It's just your jive talkin'
you're telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin'
you wear a disguise
Jive talkin'
so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin'
You really no good
Oh, my child
You'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child
You got so much
You're gonna take away my energy
With all your jive talkin'
You're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin'
Still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It's just your jive talkin'
That gets in the way
Oh my love
You're so good
Treating me so cruel
There you go
with your fancy lies
Leavin' me lookin'
like a dumbstruck fool
with all your
Jive talkin'
You're telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin'
You wear a disguise
Jive talkin'
so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin'
you just ain't no good
Love talkin'
is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin'
Just isn't a crime
And if there's somebody
You'll love till you die
then all that jive talkin'
just gets in your eye
Jive talkin'
You're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin'
Still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It's just your jive talkin'
That gets in the way
Love talkin'
Is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin', just isn't a crime
and if there's somebody
You'll love till you die
then all that jive talkin'
just gets in your eye
Jive talkin'

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Interview
(Carly Simon/Don Was)
A sweet young man sat on my chair
With a tape machine and a face of fear
He asked how does it feel to be who you are
I thought, this boy really thinks I'm a star
I answered him with humility
And then asked him if he'd like some tea
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
He asked if the rug was some ancient, lovely thing
I lied and said "Yes a gift from a king"
I watched his arms and how his lips moved
He asked me if my parents approved
He asked to see my Ruby ring
And if as a child I had liked to sing
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
I said yes, Oh yes 400 times
"You're so open" he said "do you always tell the truth?"
"Never," I said, "What's that?"
But how would it feel to hold me in your arms
You could get to know me down on the farm
Then you could see me as the child I've become
'Cause being grown up can be so lonesome
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am i interviewing you
EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - White Shoes
(Jack Tempchin)
I want 'em, I need 'em
And I'm gonna go out and get 'em
White shoes
I know I'll feel better
When I slide down into the leather
White shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
I woke up from a dream
When I saw 'em in a magazine
White shoes
I said Lou you gotta start new
And the first thing you gotta do
Is get some white shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
You know he left me with the lonesome blues
Been hangin' 'round too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, he really made me pay those dues
But I'm goin' out on the town tonight in
White shoes
Well, I wanted 'em, I needed 'em
Yeah, and I went out and got 'em
White shoes
That new boy when I see him
I'm gonna walk right up and meet him in
White shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
White shoes
I'm goin' out on the town tonight
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
White shoes... woah, oh, oh... white shoes
MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Get The Word Started
(David Pack And Michael McDonald)
When the morning breaks with the rising sun
Our past mistakes are gonna be undone
'cause no other love could have opened my eyes
To the simple joy of just being alive
'cause in this world it still takes love to get the word started
Talkin' 'bout change just ain't enough to get the word started
We gotta show the world what we're made of, get the word started
These times are gonna get rough, so get the word started
Right now
When shadows fall, our love will shine
On all the good things baby that are left to find
If we don't believe that have half a chance
Then all hopes and dreams are gonna slip through our hands

TONY BANKS lyrics - Lucky Me
My name is unimportant
And my job you could call mean
But I like the work and I do it well
That's enough for me.
I think there was a time when I
Could do, and did, much more.
I have dreams in which I captain the ship
And hear the ocean roar.
I've lived alone for all I can remember
That only means some six or seven years.
I would rather be nobody else,
I'm happy as I am.
All I need is in my way
And you see no one expects too much from me.
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them.
They want to know but they don't ask me how.
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Lucky me.
My friends think that I should be trying
To find out who I was.
But I feel that road would bring me pain
And too much would be lost.
How I am is how I'm meant to be now,
Anyhow there's things I see more clearly
Than those whose heads are searching in the clouds
To make discoveries,
And maybe fail to see
What's on the ground beneath their feet, not hard to find.
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how,
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Lucky me.
No one asks me to advise them.
They want to know but they don't ask me how.
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Lucky me - oh.
THE BEATLES lyrics - A Day In The Life
(Lennon/McCartney)
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
ALICE COOPER lyrics - You And Me
When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some lovin' and t. v. yeah.
That's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
Sometimes when you're asleep and
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'.
If I could take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
You and me ain't no superstars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some popcorn and t. v. yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.
When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.
I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete...
ALPHAVILLE lyrics - The Voyager
(Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)
Now, she's touched the earth - you feel her love
Pouring down like an endless rain
Of colours on your skin
She descends out of the blue,
A breathless victor of time
After more than a million light-years preparing her comeback
And she's rushing in
From the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation
Creating you
The voyager!
Is here to stay
The voyager!
She's calling all stars
The voyager!
She's riding a rainbow
The voyager!
Gives you the kiss of life
Watch out, you can't ignore what's going on
When your visions are drying out
Like the oceans from the underworld
Don't you know!
Before you turn to stone
You better head out for a royal trip
To the ivory city-side
And she's rushing in
From the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation
Creating you
The voyager!
Is here to stay...
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Any One Any Worse Any Where
(Loretta Lynn - Lorene Allen)
You're tellin' me how bad I am for loving him
That I can't be much and love him he's your man
Go on say I'm no good call me anything you dare
For if how much I love him tells how bad I am
Then you won't find any one any worse any where
I treat him like the man he is and when he needs I'm there
He must not think that I'm so bad for he takes me everywhere
For if how much I love him...
[ steel ]
You're tellin' me that you will never set him free
And you say that we've disgraced you him and me
You know you don't love him and he knows how much I care
So if how much I love him...
I treat him like the man he is...
MISFITS lyrics - Bruiser
All I feel is pain it seems today
A dark angel leads me to evil far beyond the grave
Declares me a phantom demon I don't know
It just cannot be defied
At Hell this reflection stares at me
And then I lose my mind
It betrays me
Oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, If looks could kill then death would be my name
Oh oh oh oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, So come inside the fires feel
Angel of Death is bloodied now
He's the one inside
Tortured, scored that strike
Against the fear, it feeds the fire
Near me now, the demon's son
Bruiser I'm the one
Erase my soul for all your sins can never be undone
I can't contain it
Oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, If looks could kill then death would be my name
Oh oh oh oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, So come inside the fires feel the pain (whoa oh)
Feel the pain
The pain
Oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, If looks could kill then death would be my name (my name)
Oh oh oh oh, In hell I'll burn in flames
Oh oh oh oh, So come inside the fires feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain (whoa oh)
Feel the pain yeah
Feel the pain
PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Domino Dancing
(All day, all day)
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
A love-you-once is of a, a different kind
Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise, how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked, you always - turned every head
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
Add another number to the score
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win?
Or are you just a bad loser?
(All day, all day)
(All day, all day)
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
