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



Truck driver divorce!

Oh, go ride the bull!

Oh, go ride the bull!

Make it go up 'n down

'N when you fall off,

You can eat the mattress!

TRUCK DRIVER DIVORCE!.

IT'S VERY SAD!

Deliver some string beans,

Deliver some string beans,

To

UTAH!


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'

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'

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)
