NAZARETH lyrics - Java Blues
(Rick Danko)
I walked into a diner
And the blonde behind the counter
She asked if she could help in any way
Hell, I knew by her smile
Her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
But as I bought some Java
Instead she brought me a cup of chicory
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
Don't pour me water just fill up my cup
You know it takes a lot just to keep me up
Cost may be more than you care to pay
What good is money compared to fightin' pain
Don't try to cheat
It's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues
Coffee's got me
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
The taste of Java is like a cocaine rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin' too much
Down in Bolivia the people are insane
They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat
It's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
The coffee's got me now..
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
I got the Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh the coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java Blues!
LESLEY GORE lyrics - You Don't Own Me
(John Madara and David White)
You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause
You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
And don't tell me what to do
Oh don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
Oh don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Ten Mississippi
Counting the seconds while singing the Mississippis
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four
Five Mississippi
Six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, eight
And nine Mississippi, ten, and we're done!
Counting the seconds while singing the Mississippis
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four
Five Mississippi
Six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, eight
And nine Mississippi, ten, and we're done!
Counting the seconds while singing the Mississippis
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four
Five Mississippi
Six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, eight
And nine Mississippi, ten, and we're done!
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - When I Wanted You
Tho' we're going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
'Cause I didn't mean that much to you
Work it out, don't lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
'Cause you've got the heart to be secure
When I wanted you, I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I've got to turn my back on you
After all that we've been through
Leavin' you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned your back on me
And now I'm turnin' mine on you
Now you're on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I'm turnin' mine on you
When I wanted you
MISFITS lyrics - Queen Wasp
Go, go, go, go
Vampire girl gonna strike to kill
Gonna kiss your vertebrae
With the kiss of poisoned love
Well, I'm a king and you're a queen
Queen wasp go
Dive in warrior wasps
Queen wasp go
Go, go, go, go
Human-looking from the thorax up
Human stomach and a tiny waist
My God we're living the life of
My God we're wasting what I hold
Queen wasp go
Dive in warrior wasps
Queen wasp go
Gotta want to see it, baby
Put the stinger in your back, baby
Hot stinger in burning, baby
Human arms and a head of your love
Think nothing about eating your love
Think nothing, I'm a king and you're a queen
Queen wasp go
Dive in warrior wasps
Queen wasp go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Where The River Flows
Where the river flows, where the river flows.
I was walkin' the main road, comin' into town,
I came upon a stranger, lying on the ground.
He said "I been in prison, and now I'm on the run,
I'm feelin' kinda weary, gotta make it home."
[Chorus:]
Where the river flows, where the water goes,
I'll be over there, waitin' over there, where the river flows.
Well I didn't have a lot to give, but I gave him what I could,
Listened while he talked about the bad times and the good.
And early in the mornin', I took an old man home,
Left him by the river, left him all alone.
[Chorus x3]
KINGDOM COME lyrics - Should I
Oh, just another bloody day
I've gone the ways they said that I should go
And now sands of time have brought decay
The hand of fate is in control
[Chorus:]
Shoud I, should I
Pretend and close my eyes:
Should I, should I
Sit in for just one more time
Should I, should I
Hold back just to survive
Should I, should I
Give in like the other times before
Oh, thousand voices calling me
To sail the seas that only I would know
I hear human sirens everywhere
Their evil tongues have turrned to stone
[Chorus]

GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Midnight Love Affair
You stare at him at night and think of schemes
I stay with her each night but you're in my dreams
You tellin' him that you're goin' out just to meet some friends
I wonder if this treachery will ever ever end
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
You have a little boy, you really love
I have a little daughter that I place no one above
If by chance you see me walkin down the street
You know that eyes like ours should never ever meet
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
Just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
Hang ups cause a slip of tongue
Let that make us come undone
Little white lies we tell our friends
Hold our love until the end
We never seem to quit the lies
We live inside a crimson sky
We love each other in our mind
An answer is what we must find
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair

THE EAGLES lyrics - Good Day In Hell
Move in,
Can't you see she wants you
She has you deep in her eyes
You been wond'rin' why she haunts you
Beauty in the devil's disguise
She can tell you all about it
She sees it in the stars
She'll burn you if you try to put her down
Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
Higher,
She can keep you loaded,
Feedin' you whiskey and wine
Fire,
The devil's on the phone, he laughs
And says you're doin' the just fine
In that big book of names I wanna go down
In flames
Seein's how I'm goin' down
Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
Truckin',
That's all that I've been doin'
Ev'ry girl's a fork in the road
Stuck in some sticky situations
Feelin' like I wanna explode
All this gratification and sick conversation
Someone get me out of town
Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
And tomorrow I'll be glory bound
CARPENTERS lyrics - Tryin' To Get To The Feeling Again
At any moment he'll be walking through that door
But he won't find me behind it
'cause the feeling is gone and just won't come back any more
I worked so hard to find it
I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around tryin' to get the feeling again
That one that made me shiver
Make my knees start to quiver every time he walks in
I've look high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's just no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast at it came
[Chorus:]
Read every book, looked, for every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me to try to get the feeling again
When did it leave me
How did I come to miss use such a beautiful bonnet
But baby believe me, I've done everything I can do
But somehow it's no returnin'
I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
Like a bloodhound searching for a long lost friend
Could you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover once again
[Chorus]
I want to get that feeling again
EURYTHMICS lyrics - The Last Time
Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain.
You were waiting at the station
For the last connecting train.
Well - who will you go to
When there's no-one to betray?
And I said - who will you go to
When your best friend turns away?
Hey hey...
Last time you're gonna let me down.
Last time you're gonna
Fool around with me...
There's a garden full of roses,
There's a necklace full of pearls.
You have come to take the roses
To give to other girls.
Well - I am just a pretty thing
You wanted for a day.
There is nothing left between us
There is nothing left to say...
Hey hey...
People like you
Can be so mean.
People like you
Just don't come clean.
(Chorus repeats...)

MICHAEL DUNFORD'S RENAISSANCE lyrics - At The Harbour
Out at daybreak to the sun
Seas are drifting glass
The tides were turning to the storm
Winds were moving fast
Women waiting at the harbour
Silent stand around
Weather storms another day
For men the sea had found
Fisherman were laying nets
The barrels spread the bait
The seagulls warning echoed round
Winds that wouldn't wait
People gathered at the harbour
Waiting for the tide
Eyes half closed against the spray
And tears they cannot hide
[Chorus:]
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stand around
Weather storms another way
For men the sea had drowned
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
Rains were slating down
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky will clear
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left
[Chorus]
KANSAS lyrics - Once In A Lifetime
(A. Armato / D. Morgan / A. Hammond)
If only it was raining out tonight
Reflections on the sidewalks would take me back in time
You told me when I left you standing there
Someday I'd be sorry
Well that day is here
I was wrong, oh so wrong
I should have known
That you were the one
Now I know a love like yours only comes along
Once in a lifetime
Once in your life you'll find
The kind of love that never ends
The kind I want back again
You were trying
I could see it in your eyes
As I held a one way fare
To some false paradise
I was dying to spread my restless wings
Now just to see your face again
I'd do anything
I was wrong, oh so wrong
A dreamer in a small town can survive
Now I know it's love like yours
That keep these dreams alive
Once in a lifetime
Once in your life you'll find
The kind of love that never ends
The kind I want back again
So let the rain fall down
Take me back oh take me back
Don't let me down
Let the rain fall down
It's such a lonely sound
Don't let me down
Once in a lifetime
Once in your life you'll find
The kind of love that never ends
The kind I want back again
ZUCCHERO lyrics - Venus Y Baco
Me falta alguna cosa Para escapar de este blues
Un poco de pushing pushing
Cuando el sol, el sol ya no da luz
Quien ve algo de bueno
Algo de bueno en un no?
Un poco de catching funky
Cuando el sol, el sol ya se apago'
Estoy buscando alguien
Que me haga sudar
Un poco de pushing pushing
Cuando el sol, el sol cae en el mar
Me falta otra cosa
Tal vez un Ave Maria
Un poco de mercy mercy Cuando el sol, el sol deja el dia
Baby don't cry
Hagamos funky
Pan y vino sera' tuyo y mio
Baco y venus suben por los campos
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
Quiero que me cojas
Quiero un poco de amor
Veo luces rojas, rojas
Ven, apagalas, dame calor
Quien ve algo de bueno Algo de bueno en un no? Un poco de mercy mercy
Cuando el sol, el sol ya se apago'
Baby don't cry
Hagamos funky
Pan y vino sera' tuyo y mio
Baco y venus suben por los campos
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
Baby don't cry
Hagamos funky
Pan y vino sera' tuyo y mio
Baco y venus suben por los campos
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
Venus y Baco
Es lo que hay
Dejate
Venus y Baco
El vino y la miel
Dejate
Baby don't cry
Hagamos funky
Pan y vino sera' tuyo y io
Baco y venus suben por los campos
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
Baby don't cry
Hagamos funky
Pan y vino sera' tuyo y io Baco y venus suben por los campos
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
Que tengo el alma en el fondo del rio
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man
(N. Phelge)
Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown L. A.
Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown L. A.
But I'd much rather be on a boardwalk on Broadway
Well I'm sitting here thinkin' just how sharp I am
Well I'm sitting here thinkin' just how sharp I am
I'm an under assistant west coast promo man
Well I promo groups when they come into town
Well I promo groups when they come into town
Well they laugh at my toupee, they're sure to put me down
Well I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am
Yeah I'm sitting here thinking just how sharp I am
I'm a necessary talent behind every rock and roll band
I'm sharp
I'm really, really sharp
I sure do earn my pay
Sitting on the beach every day, yeah
I'm real real sharp, yes I am
I got a Corvette (?) and a seersucker suit
Yes I have
Here comes the bus, uh oh...

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviours' birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its' worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
[Repeat]

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - A Thing About You
(Tom Petty)
I'm not much on mystery
Yeah you gotta be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah I thought I was satisfied
(Chorus)
But oh baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say
It don't matter what you do
I, I, I, got a thing about you
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear
(Chorus)
Baby you hold some strange control over me
Yeah it's so wild it hypnotizes me
(Chorus)
SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Red Football
I'm not no red football
To be kicked around the garden
No no I'm a red christmas-tree ball
And I'm fragile
I'm not no animal
Though I am to you
I'm not no crocodile
Like the one in Dublin Zoo
Who lived in a cage
the length and breadth of his body
When a window which people would look through
And throw coins on his back to taunt him
'though he couldn't move
Even if he wanted to
I'm not no animal in the zoo
I'm not no whipping boy for you
You may not treat me like you do
I'm not no animal in the zoo
My skin is not a football for you
My head is not a football for you
My body's not a football for you
My womb is not a football for you
I'm not no animal in the zoo
This animal will jump up and eat you
I'm not no animal in the zoo
And I've every intention
Of leaping up and getting you
KISS lyrics - Sweet Pain
Ahh
My leathers fit tight around me
My whip is always beside me
You want the same thing every day
I'll teach you love a different way
You'll learn to love me and my sweet pain
My love will drive you insane
Sweet pain, my love will drive you insane
And pain has got its reason
And if you don't stop your teasin', baby
I'm gonna show you now
You'll get your lovin' anyhow, anyhow
And you'll get to love me and my sweet pain
My love will drive you insane
Ahh, sweet pain, my love will drive you insane
Ahh, you get to love me any way I say
Ahh, you get to love me and my sweet pain
Oh
Pain has got it's reason
You find it pleasin', yes you do, yes you do
And I'm gonna show you now
You'll get to love it anyhow, anyhow and
You'll get to love me and my sweet pain
My love will drive you insane
Ahh, sweet pain, my love will drive you insane
Sweet pain my love will drive you insane
Sweet pain my love will drive you insane
Ahh, sweet pain (sweet pain) my love will drive you insane
Sweet pain (sweet pain) my love will drive you insane
Sweet pain (sweet pain) my love will drive you insane
Sweet pain (sweet pain) my love will drive you insane
LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - I Can't Quit You, Baby
I Can't Quit You, Baby, so I'm gonna put you down for awhile. [X2]
Said you messed up my happy home, Made me mistreat my only child.
Said you know I love you, baby, my love for you I could never hide. [X2]
Oh, when I feel you near me little girl, I know you are my one desire.
When you hear me moaning and groaning,
you know it hurts me deep down inside. [X2]
Oh, when you hear me... You know you're my one desire. Yes, you are.
NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Are You Tired Of Me Darling?
(G. P. Cook & Ralph Roland, Arrangement By Nanci Griffith)
Are you tired of me my darling?
Did you mean those words you said?
That made me yours forever
Since the day when we were wed
[Chorus:]
And tell me, would you live life over
Could you make another wife
Are you tired of me my darling?
Answer only with your eyes
Do you ever rue the springtime
When we first each other met?
How we spoke in warm affection
Words my heart can ne'er forget
[Chorus]
Do you think the blooms departed
From the cheeks you thought so fair?
Do you think I've grown cold hearted
Beneath the load of woman's cares?
[Chorus 2x]
THE BEATLES lyrics - Long, Long, Long
(Harrison)
It's been a long long long time
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you
It took a long long long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you
So many tears I was searching
So many tears I was wasting, oh oh
Now I can see you, be you
How can I ever misplace you
How I want you
Oh I love you
Your know that I need you
Ooh I love you
Oh

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Lay Down Burden
So many years spent running away
How many times I wished I could stay
Too much emotion a hole in my heart
Feeling alone since we've been apart
And if I had the chance
I'd never let you go
Just want you to know
[Chorus:]
Lay down lay me down
Lay me down
Lay down burden
How many things I wanted to do
How many times spent thinking this through
So many nights spent here by the phone
Wonderin'if you felt just as alone
And while some things have all been
Crazy from the start
It's tearing me apart
[Chorus]
Just remember the way I held you
You're always in my heart
[Chorus]
DAVID FOSTER lyrics - Because You Loved Me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - The Carny
And no-one saw the carny go
And the weeks flew by
Until they moved on the show
Leaving his caravan behind
It was parked out on the south east ridge
And as the company crossed the bridge
With the first rain filling the bone-dry river bed
It shone, just so, upon the edge
Dog-boy, atlas, half-man, the geeks, the hired hands
There was not one among them that did not cas an eye behind
In the hope that the carny would return to his own kind
And the carny had a horse, all skin and bone
A bow-backed nag, that he named "Sorrow"
How it is buried in a shallow grave
In the then parched meadow
And the dwarves were given the task of digging the ditch
And laying the nag's carcass in the ground
And boss Bellini, waving his smoking pistol around
saying "The nag is dead meat"
"We caint afford to carry dead weight"
The whole company standing about
Not making a sound
And turning to dwarves perched on the enclosure gate
The boss says "Bury this lump of crow bait"
And thean the rain came
Everybody running for their wagons
Tying all the canvas flaps down
The mangy cats crowling in ther cages
The bird-girl flapping and squawking around
The whole valley reeking of wet beast
Wet beast and rotten hay
Freak and brute creation
Packed up and on their way
The three dwarves peering from their wagon's hind
Moses says to Noah "We shoulda dugga deepa one"
Their grizzled faces like dying moons
Still dirty from the digging done
And as the company passed from the valley
Into a higher ground
The rain beat on the ridge and on the meadow
And on the mound
Until nothing was left, nothing at all
Except the body of Sorrow
That rose in time
To float upon the surface of the eaten soil
And a murder of crows did circle round
First one, then the others flapping blackly down
And the carny's van still sat upon the edge
Tilting slowly as the firm ground turned to sludge
And the rain it hammered down
And no-one saw the carny go
I say it's funny how things go
WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - The Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - After Hours
All the gang has gone home
Standing on the corner
All alone
You and me, streetlight
We'll paint the town - grey
Oh, we are so many lamps
Who have lost our way
Say goodnight, America
The word still loves a dreamer
And all the gang has gone home
And I'm standind on the corner
All alone
PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Say Forever You'll Be Mine
(Dolly Parton)
Say forever you'll be mine
Forever is the love that is filled with understanding
Forever is the love that is true and undemanding
Forever is the love that can stand the test of time
Forever I am yours, say forever you'll be mine
Trouble clouds may fill our skies
It might even rain awhile
But the rain will go away
There's always a brighter day
Darling, I won't promise you
That we'll be happy all the time
But forever I am yours, say forever you'll be mine
Forever I am yours, say forever you'll be mine
Say forever you'll be mine, forever I am yours
And I'll do anything that you ever ask me to
And I'll do what you want me to
Darling, I won't promise you
That we'll be happy all the time
But forever I am yours, say forever you'll be mine
GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - That's A Fact
I could dance all night, I could shake with delight,
It's as simple as that and that's a fact,
I could squeeze your hand,
I could give a command,
It's so good to be back and that's a fact
You can be as cool as you like,
You can be as wrong as you are right,
It don't matter much to me, Either way it's free
I could dance all night, I could shake with delight,
It's as simple as that and that's a fact,
One and one are two, that's a fact,
The sky above is blue and that's a fact,
Put it in the act,
You got a little woman and she's aware of that, all right,
Right, right
I could dance all night 'til I'm wacked, And that's a fact
, All night until I'm wacked
You can be as cool as you like,
You can be as wrong as you are right,
It don't matter much to me, Either way it's free
You say some day, oh baby let's get away,
Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own
You say some day, oh baby let's get away

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - (What A) Wonderful World
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography
don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I do know one and one is two
and if this one could be with you -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now I don't claim to be an "A" student
but I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
History - biology - science book - French I took
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Jesus Was A Cross Maker
(Judee Sill)
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
It was gently enticing me
But there was something wrong
And when I turned
He was gone
Blinding me
His song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
My Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
He wages war with the devil
With a pistol by His side
He's always chasing him out of windows
And He won't give him a place to hide
But he keeps His door
Open wide
Fighting him
He lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
My Jesus was a cross maker
Yeah, Jesus was a cross maker
(here's a verse Ms. Sill wrote, which Warren leaves out:
maybe he thought he had enough thunder on this record, already:
I heard the thunder come rumblin'
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction git nearer
and danger is in the wind
And either road's lookin' grim
Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker.
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker)
RICKY NELSON lyrics - In My Dreams
I'll see you tonight
In the place where we meet in my dreams
I'll hold you tonight
Like I do every night in my dreams
I can't wait for tonight
Is it the same way with you, I hope it is
I hope the dream that you're dreaming
Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too
There may come a day
When I need you outside of my dreams
But until that day
I'll keep you inside of my dreams
I can't wait for tonight
Is it the same way with you, I hope it is
I hope the dream that you're dreaming
Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too
I don't know what's wrong with me
I feel funny inside
And if I never come out of this dream
I'll be satisfied
I'll see you tonight
In the place where we meet in my dreams
I'll hold you tonight
Like I do every night in my dreams
I can't wait for tonight
Is it the same way with you, I hope it is
I hope the dream that you're dreaming
Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too
Mmm, I hope the dream that you're dreaming
Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too
Oh yeah, I hope the dream that you're dreaming
Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too
STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Outside My Window
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
[repeat 2 times]
Much has been written about
The world and all its kind of loves
But the sweetest of them all
You seldom will find stories of, oh oh oh oh
My love lives outside my window
Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
[repeat 1 times]
You don’t have to look around
Or ask yourself if she is there
‘Cause the fragrance of her love
Says hi with every breath of air, oh oh oh oh
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
[repeat 1 times]
You will often hear her name
Describing another’s prettiness
But if ever there was choice
My flower would be the prettiest, oh oh oh oh
My love lives outside my window
Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La

ANTHRAX lyrics - Nobody Knows Anything
I've been choking on the air that you've been giving me
It's all a game to you to me it's an atrocity
As you another loop onto my noose
I lose all sense of what is abuse
'Cause it's always been a bone of contention
This game of "what it is that I've done for you"
I've given you everything for nothing in return
And I'm so tired of bleeding for the respect that I've earned
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
I don't know how much generosity that I can take
Until I leave a trail of bodies lying in my wake
How many times do I lose my mind 'til I realize'
Give me the high hat and you think that I should compromise?
'Cause it's always been a bone of contention
This game of "what it is that I've done for you"
I've given you everything for nothing in return
And I'm so tired of bleeding for the respect that I've earned
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
No, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
No, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything

PHISH lyrics - Guelah Papyrus
Aboard a craft bereft of oar
I rowed upstream to find Lenore
Abducted by a bandit or
A king from some forgotten war
And mindful of his larval craze
The rhinotropic micro-gaze
Ignored it and to my amazement
Rode to Paris in twelve days
This is the work of the guelah papyrus
Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus
Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan
Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus
She take me on, I never fail
To ride on the redundant rail
'Cause when I know she's switched a track
There's always one to take me back
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
[Guelah (The Fly)]
So maybe I could be a fly
And feed arachnid as I die
And view the ritual from within
The silken tunnel that they spin
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
JOHN LENNON lyrics - Intuition
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Prisoner In Disguise
(John David Souther)
You think the love you never had might save you
But true love takes a little time
You can touch it with your fingers
And try to believe your eyes
Is it love or lies
So you're keeping your distance
A little bit of room around you
But if he doesn't return your call on time
Oh my my
You just act like a fool on a holiday
There's nothing that you wouldn't try
You must be a prisoner in disguise
Well this night life is my life
But there's no one else in it
And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow
But it's no show so you might as well go
If you think you could win it
Without losing and letting it show
The city is no place to hide in
Everybody knows your number
And you know that you could never be alone if you tried
You just run like a man with no reason to run
And no place to ever arrive
You must be a prisoner
Look just like a prisoner
Well you must be a prisoner in disguise
THE CURE lyrics - The 13th
"Everyone feels good in the room" she swings
"Two chord cool in the head" she sings
"A-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees... "
Tell me this is not for real
Please tell me this is not for real...
From time to time her eyes get wide
And she's always got them stuck on me
I'm surprised at how hot honey-coloured and hungry she looks
And I have to turn away to keep from bursting
Yeah I feel that good!
She slips from the stage
A foot no more
But it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floor
And the two chord cool still grooves
As she slides towards me smooth as a snake
I can't swallow I just start to shake
And I just know this is a big mistake
Yeah but it feels good!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
"if you want I can take you on another kind of ride... "
"believe me I would but... "
Deep inside the 'but' is 'please'
I am yearning for another taste
And my shaking is 'yes'
"you will be all the things in the world you've never been
See all the things in the world you've never seen
Dream all the things in the world you've never dreamed... "
But I think I get a bit confused...
Am I seducing or being seduced?
Oh I know that tomorrow I'll feel bad
But I really couldn't care about that
She's grinning singing spinning me round and round
Smiling as I start to fall
Her face gets big her face gets small
It's like tonight I'm really not me at all
And it feels good!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
It feels good!
ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Tales Of Brave Ulysses
(Eric Clapton and Martin Sharp)
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - This Heart
(Nanci Griffith)
This heart was almost taken
This heart had a love of it's own
This heart was reawakened
When you came along
This heart was born feet runnin'
This heart saw your porch light on
This heart hit the sidewalk wonderin'
Why you left it on
[Chorus:]
This heart was stranded in the winter
Was stuck out in a blizzard in it's summer clothes
This heart knows
When the love comes
And when it goes
This heart hears the telephone ringin'
This heart's gonna let it go
'Cuz this heart knows the bells she's hearin'
Aren't the telephone
This heart has heard your laughter
This heart has learned how to smile
This heart is your true believer
If you'll stay awhile
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
This heart... This heart... This heart
This heart... This heart... This heart
[Chorus]
This heart was almost taken
This heart was born feet runnin'
This heart hears the telephone ringin'
Gonna let it go
This heart... This heart... This heart
This heart... This heart... This heart
This heart... This heart... This heart
SHANE MACGOWAN AND THE POPES lyrics - That Woman's Got Me Drinking
For seven long years
She helped me spend my dough
Now I take her out
But she don't wanna know
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
That woman's got me drinking
We used to have some fun
Now shrinks and astrologers
Have got me on the run
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
She said she'd always love me
She said I'd be the one
Now look at the way she treats me
Just like a piece of scum
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
If I had the guts to do it
I'd take a long goodbye
Instead I'll love her long and hard
And love her 'til I die
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
Bottles of gin, bottles of gin, bottles of gin,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Ay Papi
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Got senoritas and Adidas over in Spain
The Don in San Juan, Got 'em going insane
Got chicks in Spanish Harlem pulling their brain
In San Paolo they follow, doing the same
Admiration for Run since sucker MCs
Papi, bilingual, selling singles with ease
Y'all think that I'm done, Run don't got no flow
What is you loco? I'm grande gato, papo
Run and Bo, DMC and Fat Joe
Four cats on the same track got dough
Us quatro got flow you don't know
From New York city to Puerto Rico
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
What's going on black? Going platinum and beyond that
Laying down the format, sipping on that
Cognac, where the Don at?
I'm in Hollis with the kings
Payin' homage to the things
They Accomplished in their teens,
And I never stop throwing the flame, controlling the game
I'm right here over the rain(bow)
And found a pot of gold
I already had a lot of flow
Ready to rock steady, we're runnin' make a lot of dough
[DMC]
You might tell from the way I talk
That sucker MCs is who I stalk
Creating a rhyme that is information
Or why I make such a rap creation
That is bound, to be renowned
Within this city as a funky sound
And to those that try to put me down
My DJ has jams by the pound
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Hey yo I rolled up in the spot then I roved up
My ice bending like "hold up"
All the chickens like: look at Bo
You be grown up, think he the bomb
With his beeper stayed blowed up
So with frost on my wrist look my fists froze up
The photographer is trying to get a little close up
Why? Cause I'm a star now?
Buy at the bar now?
Or I press one button, start up my car now?
I heard that you wanna spar now
So baby it's on, I spent flows
Ripped shows to the day that I'm gone
And this here hit, I'm gonna have America's soul
Cris Pack, Run's cloth pair, it's good to see ya go
I entered your home, let you down, should be a ball
The hit that I'm on got Spanish mamas singin' my song
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
Ay papi, Tu sabes, Yo tengo fiebre para ti
You got my fire burning
STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Sunshine In Their Eyes
A lonesome fear
A hungry face
A barren pain
A dream unchased
Oh I can't wait untill the day there's sunshine in their eyes
A prayer is heard
By one so small
Let love be in the
Hearts of all
Oh I can't wait untill there's sunshine in their eyes
You and I may never see them cry
Or wonder why the world's so cold
You feel that they're too young
To take a look around
But in their faces I can see the trouble all around
Today we must turn into lies
The truth already in their minds
Oh I can't wait untill the day there's sunshine in their eyes
He can't wait untill the day there's sunshine in their eyes
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sunshine
Oh I can't wait untill the day there's sunshine in their eyes
Sunshine in our eyes
Oh my momma's worried cause she feels the world is ending
She believes that everything is coming to an end
Papa's stayin real careful cause his brother Sam was robbed
Trying to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John
See how the world escaped
All the streets turin bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just feeds in the air
Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening
Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening
Cost of livin's up, but the pay is low and down
Hate to see the babies starve cause momma cant be found
Sister lives alone, bolts and chains the door at night
Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way
See how the world escaped
All the streets turin bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just feeds in the air
Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening
Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening
Father Bills gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger
But could men die a stranger in every war
We all hide in shame bolding pointing to another
When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves
Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening
Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Everybody say it now
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Ahhh
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Yeaoow
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Ohhh noo
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Ohhhh oh baby
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Ohh baby
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - With Every Little Kiss
(Steven Curtis Chapman)
Well I first remember the first time
I felt the power of your kiss
It hit me like a bolt of lightning
I said "I never will recover from this"
And like the words from the mouth of a prophet
I have lived to see those words come true
Just look at me now, I'm still reeling
With every little kiss I'm reminded
How wonderful it is to be in love with you
With every little look
With every little touch
With every little kiss
Like a moth being drawn to a candle
This is something that I can't resist
I guess you could say I'm addicted
Cause I keep coming back again and again
After all of the storms we have weathered
All the seasons of change we've ben though
Somehow the flame keeps getting brighter
With every little kiss I'm reminded
How wonderful it is to be in love with you
With every little look
With every little touch
With every kiss
You give me just a little taste of heaven
Just one more good gift that God has given
I don't want to miss one single little kiss
With every little kiss I'm reminded
How wonderful it is to be in love with you
With every little look
With every little touch
With every little kiss
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Until It's Time For You To Go
You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask for ever, honey
Love me, now
This love of mine
Had no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And though
I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me honey
Love me Love me
You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
SAXON lyrics - Baptism Of Fire
Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Take the eagle from the sky
Ride into the sun
Make a stand the time has come
The tournament's begun
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Turn the card of fate
The day is coming soon my friend
You don't have to wait
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
(Baptism of fire)
Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Say My Prayer
(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)
Daylight gone, nighttime come
I hear the executioners song and I, I say my prayer
The colour of darkness, wages of sin
Crime of innocence
A case of doubt on your hands
I say my prayerI remember when I used to run free
Without a judge, without a jury
And the world was mine, all mine
Yeah, all the little things mean a lot
When emptiness is all you've got on your mind
Doin' time
I say my prayer, say my prayer
Soul in chains, heart on ice
Freedom pays a higher price than love
I say my prayer
The color of blindness, shade of a skin
In the eyes of a witness, makes me fold my hands
And say my prayer
I remember when I used to run free
Without a judge, without a jury
And the world was mine, all mine
Yeah, all the little things mean a lot
When emptiness is all you've got on your mind
Doin' time, doin' time
And you say your prayer, while there's nothin' left
There's nothin' more to expect
And you say your prayer to yourself and nobody else
Daylight gone, nighttime come
I hear the executioners song and I, I say my prayer
Two steps up, nine steps down
One way ticket, ten feet underground
I say my prayer...

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Witchcraft
(C. Leigh, C. Coleman)
[Recorded April 30, 1963, Los Angeles]
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you
[instrumental]
'cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I'd never switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you
PETER WOLF lyrics - Lights Out
Lights out
A-ha
Blast, blast, blast
Lights out
A-ha
Blast, blast, blast
Lights out
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
I know that it's wrong
To be dancing with no lights on
And I know that it's wrong
To be holding you for so long
And for the rest of the night
I'll be holding you tight
So tight
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
(Lights out, a-ha)
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
(Lights out, a-ha)
Oh, what can I do
All I need is to dance with you
And turn the lights down some more
We're the only ones left on the floor
Let the music play
I want to hold you this way
Girl, stay
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
(Lights out, a-ha)
Dancing in the dark
To the radio of love
(Lights out, a-ha)
Sha-la-la-la-la
Ooooooh, holding you girl
Sha-la-la-la-la

ROD STEWART lyrics - You Go To My Head
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
JOY DIVISION lyrics - Inside The Line
Hey you! You too!
I could make the choice for you
Dirt sticks close to you - it's all around me
Everything I try to do
I can't even seem to find the room to move
But you think you're number one
Actors though the film has gone
Crowded in a room for one
Darkness when the lights are on
Turn me on for good - it's so exciting
Slogans on the wall don't need no advertising
I can't even seem to find the room to move
Shackled up in fantasy
Hoping for some time to breathe
Suffocation comes too easy
I just want some time to breathe
Dirt sticks close to you - it's all around me
Everything I do - they're always trying to crowd me
I can't even seem to find the room to move
Watching every move I make
Choice of one that's hard to take
In fact it's just a big mistake
The effects that make it feel like you
Maggots run inside the line
Ready for the perfect crime
Say there is no right or wrong
I don't know what's right or wrong
I don't know what's right or wrong

BOB DYLAN lyrics - What Good Am I?
What good am I some like all the rest
If I just turn away when I see how you're dressed
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
What good am I?
What good am I if I know and don't do
If I see and don't say if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky
What good am I?
What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try
What good am I?
What good am I then to others and me
If I had every chance and yet still fail to see
If my hands are tied must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why and where must I have been.
What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back while you silently die
What good am I?
SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Some Of That True Love
I don't need no Mazaradi,
Pullin' up no circle drive,
Headed for some mansion on a hill.
And I don't need no pearls and diamonds,
I don't need a fancy fur.
What I want ain't bought with a dollar bill.
Give me some of that true love,
That's what I'm longin' for,
Some of that true love,
Every heart aches for,
Some of that true love.
I'll tell you one thing
That makes life worth livin',
It's two hearts beatin'
In a perfect rhythm.
Give me some of that true love, uh-huh.
I don't need no dry martini,
Served to me on silver trays,
And I don't need those big city lights.
I don't need no silk pajamas,
Satin pillows for my head.
And I don't need my bed turned down at night.
Give me some of that true love,
That's what I'm longin' for,
Some of that true love,
Every heart aches for,
Some of that true love.
I'll tell you right now how I feel about it,
I never know I never want to live without it
Give me some of that true love,
[Instrumental]
Give me some of that true love,
That's what I'm longin' for,
Some of that true love,
Every heart aches for,
Some of that true love.
I'll tell you one thing
That makes life worth livin',
It's two hearts beatin'
In a perfect rhythm.
Give me some of that true love,
Some true love
Some true love
A little bit of true love.
BRIAN WILSON lyrics - That Lucky Old Sun
Up in the mornin', out on the job,
I work like the devil for my pay.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
I fuss with my woman, and toil with my kids,
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm cry'in?
I got tears all in my eyes.
Why don't you send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me up to Paradise (lift me up to paradise).
Show me that river, why don't you take me across,
Wash all my troubles away,
I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do,
But just roll around heaven all day
(Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm cryin'?
Tears all in my eyes),
Send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me to Paradise (lift me up to paradise).
So show me that river, and then take me across,
Wash all my troubles away.
And I know the lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Mercy
Mercy - pure and simple
Longing - cold and hollow
With sweet breath you'd come to warm me
But I held on too hard to only a memory
You lie there on the swollen ground
Deserted in your heart
Still longing for what yesterdays lost
And for all that tomorrow might bring
The passion lost - taken, stolen
The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken
With kind words you'd come to soothe me
But I go blind and filled with fear
Would send you away from me
There is no hope in regretting now
All the pain that we could not see
We both knew what we wanted
And we took it believing it free
And we took it believing it free.

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - I Dreamed I Dream
Look before you leap, okay?
Do you read me?
May all your dreams come true
He's standing by the door
He's got something in his hands
All the money's gone
All the money's gone
The days we spend, go on and on
Shift
Fucking youth
Working youth
May all your dreams come true
A lot of people suffer
From impotence
All the money's gone
The days we spend go on and on
Fucking youth
Working youth
Fucking youth
Working youth
Fucking youth
Fucking youth
Working youth [Lee]
You slept
Did I drift?
Do I dream?
Do you read me?
I'm not speaking
Do you read me?
I dream
I dream
Sound today are you sound today
are you sound today?
Sound today are you sound today
are you sound today?
Today
These things don't happen
automatically
I dream
Edith moves each step
Fucking youth
The days we spent go on and on
I dream
Do you read me?
BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Laughing Matters
Live at Five and CNN
keep us all abreast
of breaking stories that can tend
to make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers
hang on like some chronic cough.
And every day some brand new issue
rears it's head to piss you off.
Bad guys win.
Optimism's wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicism's all the fad.
World events could make us mad
as hatters.
Almost every day
some underpinning slips away.
These aren't laughing matters.
Time bombs tick.
People keep on getting sick.
And a nickel's not worth a cent.
Wickedness and greed abound.
Just as peace is gaining ground
it shatters.
Hate is here to stay,
and justice goes to those who pay.
Friend, these aren't laughing matters.
The truth is scarier by far
than anything that Stephen King could write.
The stories in the paper are
the daily small decline and fall
spelled out in black and white.
Oh, what to do, what to do?
how to take a brighter view
when your noodle's totally fried.
Human spirits need to be
leavened by a little levity.
So take those blues
and bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor please,
'cause don't you know it times like these that
laughing matters most of all.

MADONNA lyrics - Peron's Latest Flame
[Che:] At the watering holes of the well-to-do
I detect a resistance to
[Aristocrats:] Precisely
[Che:] Our heroine's style
[Aristocrats:] We're glad you noticed
[Che:] The shooting sticks of the upper-class
[Aristocrats:] Give her an inch
[Che:] Aren't supporting a single ass
That would rise for the girl
[Aristocrats:] She'll take a mile
[Aristocrats:]
Such a shame she wandered into our enclosure
How unfortunate this person has forced us to be blunt
No we wouldn't mind seeing her at Harrod's
But behind the jewelry counter, not in front
[Che:] Could there be in our fighting corps
A lack of enthusiasm for
[Army:] Exactly
[Che:] Peron's latest flame
[Army:] You said it brother
[Che:]
Should you wish to cause great distress
In the tidiest officer's mess
Just mention her name
[Army:]
That isn't funny
Peron is a fool, breaking every taboo
Installing a girl in the army H. Q.
And she's an actress, the last straw
Her only good parts are between her thighs
She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies
Or she could be his last whore
The evidence suggests
She has other interests
If it's her who's using him
He's exceptionally dim
Bitch! Dangerous Jade
[Aristocrats:]
We have allowed ourselves to slip
We have completely lost our grip
We have declined to an all-time low
Tarts have become the set to know
[Eva:]
I am only a radio star with just one weekly show
But speaking as one of the people I want you to know
We are tired of the decline of Argentina
With no sign of a government able to give us the things we deserve
[Army:]
It's no crime for officers to do as they please
As long as they're discreet and keep clear of disease
We ignore, we disregard
But once they allow a bit on the side
To move to the center where she's not qualified
We are forced to mark his card
She should get into her head
She should not get out of bed
She should know that she's not paid
To be loud but to be laid
Slut! Dangerous Jade
[Che:]
This has really been your year, Miss Duarte
Tell us where you go from here, Miss Duarte
Which are the roles that you yearn to play?
Whom did you sleep... dine with yesterday?
[Eva:]
Acting is limiting, the line's not mine
That's no help to the Argentine
[Che:]
Can we assume then that you'll quit?
Is this because of your involvement with Colonel Peron?
[Heavies:]
Goodnight and thank you
[Army:]
She won't be kept happy by her nights on the tiles
She says it's his body, but she's after his files
So get back on to the street
She should get into her head
She should not get out of bed
She should know that she's not paid
To be loud but to be laid
The evidence suggests
She has other interests
If it's her who's using him
He's exceptionally dim
[Aristocrats:]
Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower-class
Graceless and vulgar, uninspired
Can be accepted and admired

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Cantique De Noel (O Holy Night)
(A. Adam)
Minuit, chretiens,
C'est l'heure solennelle
Ou l'Homme Dieu descendit jusqu'a nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de son pere arreter le courroux.
Le monde entier tressaille d'esperance
En cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur.
Peuple a genoux,
Attends ta delivrance!
Noel! Noel!
Voici le Redempteur!
Noel! Noel!
Voici le Redempteur!
Le redempteur
A brise toute entrave:
La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert.
Il voit un frere ou n'etait qu'un esclave;
L'amour unit ceux qu'enchainait le fer.
Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance?
C'est pour nous tous qu'il nait,
Qu'il souffre et meurt.
Peuple debout,
Chante ta delivrance!
Noel! Noel!
Chantons le Redempteur!
Noel! Noel!
Chantons le Redempteur!
UB40 lyrics - Good Situation
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Good evening sweet darling
May I ask your name
You seem to be lonely
Well don't worry I'm feeling the same
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
It's been a long time sweet darling
Since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss
SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - I Love Voodoo Music
(Robbie van Leeuwen)
When there's silence all around
I still hear that fascinating sound.
It keeps me awake at night,
It's the sound that's so right.
I love voodoo music,
Just a name drives me insane.
You'll love voodoo music,
Yes, you will.
I'll never find a better way
To explain how empty were my days.
Without that pounding beat
My life ain't complete.
I love voodoo music,
Just a name drives me insane.
You'll love voodoo music,
Yes, you will.
I'll never find a better way
To explain how empty were my days.
Without that pounding beat
My life ain't complete.
I love voodoo music,
Just a name drives me insane.
You'll love voodoo music,
Yes, you will.

TOM WAITS lyrics - Army Ants
The Whirligig Beetles are wary and fast with an organ to detect the ripples.
The Arachnid Moths lay their eggs inside other insects along the borders of fields or roads in clusters of white cocoons.
The Ribbed Pine Borer is a longhorn beetle, their antenna's are half the length of their body and they feed on dead red pine.
Robber Flies, with their immobile heads, inject a paralyzing fluid into their prey that they snatch from life in mid-air.
The Snow Flea's mode of locomotion, strange and odd, with a spiny tail mechanism with hooks and a protracted tube from the abdomen to enable moisture absorption.
The female Praying Mantis devours the male while they are mating. The male sometimes continues copulating even after the female has bitten off his head and part of his upper torso.
Every night wasps bite into the stem of a plant, lock their mandibles into position, stretch out at right angles to the stem and, with legs dangling, they fall asleep.
If one places a minute amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
The Bombardier Beetle, when disturbed, defends itself by emitting a series of explosions, sometimes setting off 4 or 5 reports in succession. The noises sound like miniature popgun blasts and are accompanied by a cloud of reddish coloured vile smelling fluid.
It is commonly known that ants keep slaves. Certain species, the so-called Sanguinary Ants in particular, will raid the nests of other ant tribes and kill the queen and then kidnap many of the workers. The workers are brought back to the captor's hive where they are coerced into performing menial tasks.
And as we discussed last semester, the Army Ants will leave nothing but your bones.
Perhaps you've encountered some of these insects in your communities, displaying both their predatory and defense characteristics, while imbedded within the walls of flesh and passing for, what is most commonly recognized... as human.
BOB DYLAN lyrics - When You Awake
Ollie told me I'm a fool. So I
walked on down the road a mile, Went to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpa's knee, And what do you think he said to me?
[Chorus:]
When You Awake you will remember ev'rything, You will be
hangin' on a string from your... When you believe, You will relieve the only soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
Use your days and save your nights,
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
[Chorus]
Ollie warned me it's a mean old world,
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true;
But what am I supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall,
I heard itwhen I was very small.
[Chorus]
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
captains daughter. You can go and tell your brother. We sure gonna
love one another, Oh! You
may be right and ya might be wrong, I ain't gonna worry all day long.
Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite, My old car froze
up last night. Ain't no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the
mornin' dead. Oh! And
if I thought it would do any good, I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood.
VAN HALEN lyrics - Aftershock
Oh, yeah!
Alright
I don't care 'bout the way that you're treatin' me
And I ain't cryin' about the love I been payin' for
No I ain't bitchin' 'bout the things you been puttin' down
Yeah, in my street
Oh! I ain't goin' around sayin' things about you
Lord, I can't repeat
Hey, it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight, no!
Now I ain't sayin' that I'm never gonna beg you
Oh, baby come back
Right now baby, I don't really wanna see your face
Yeah, and that's a fact
Oh, I know honey all I know is what I'm feelin' inside
Right now baby I'm alone and I'm swallowing
Lord, a lot a' pride
And it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight
Yeah!
Livin' with the aftershock
I said, "My, my, my"
Well I never thought she'd walk
But now I'm livin' with the aftershock
And it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away, no
(Guitar Solo)
Yeah, she opened up my eyes (Seein' what I wanna see)
She came and took me by surprise (Showed me what I hadn't seen)
Yeah, yeah, livin' with the aftershock
(Guitar Solo)
Oh, yeah!
Alright
Watch it, watch it!
Yeah, yeah, livin' with the aftershock
I said, "My, my, my"
Baby, I never thought you would
Give in and learn it from the aftershock
And it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away
I said, "It ain't gonna change without a fight, no"
(Guitar Solo)
Livin' with the aftershock
I'm livin' with the aftershock
Ow!
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Never gonna change

SAXON lyrics - Call Of The Wild
Waiting for the night
Keeping out of sight
You're standing on the streets for kicks
Looking for a thrill
You know you're dressed to kill
You're turning all the young boys on
Treat them all the same
Life is just a game
You're breaking every heart around
Really got it made
Driving me insane
But you're running out of time
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
Life is just for fun
Take it on the run
You're trying everything in sight
Living fast and wild
You're a restless child
You're screaming at the night
Fighting fire with fire
Burning with desire
But no one's gonna put you out
Run with the pack
Never lookin' back
But only the strong will survive
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
Waiting for the night
Keeping out of sight
You're standing on the streets for kicks
Looking for a thrill
You know you're dressed to kill
You're turning all the young boys on
Treat them all the same
Life is just a game
You're breaking every heart around
Really got it made
Driving me insane
But you're running out of time
It's the call of the wild
Creatures of the night
It's the call of the wild
Calling you tonight
MANOWAR lyrics - Battle Hymn
(R. Friedman/J. DeMaio)
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armours shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Gone are the days when freedom shone
Now blood and steel meet bone
In the light of the battle's way
The sands of time will shade
How proud our soldiers stand
With mace and chain in hand
Sound of charge into glory ride
Over the top of the vanguished pride
[Chorus:]
Victory, victory, Oh!
Victory, victory, Oh!
Victory, victory, Oh!
Victory, victory, Oh!
To the battle we ride
We crossed a starlit sky
No space no time
We'll catch the wind
Strange losses, men died
We crossed a starlit sky
And still no space or time
We'll catch the wind
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Sound of charge into glory ride
Over the top of the anguished pride
By moonlight we ride
Tenthousand side by side
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
Kill, kill, Oh!
CELINE DION lyrics - The Power Of Love
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
[first chorus]
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
[repeat first chorus]
[second chorus]
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
[repeat first chorus]
[repeat second chorus]
RUSH lyrics - We Hold On
How many times
Do we tire of all the little battles?
Threaten to call it quits
Tempted to cut and run
How many times
Do we weather out the stormy evenings?
Long to slam the front door
Drive away into the setting sun:
Keep going on until dawn
How many times must another line be drawn?
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
Keep going until dawn
How many times must another line be drawn?
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
How many times
Do we chafe against the repetition?
Straining against the fate
Measured up in coffee breaks
How many times do we swallow our ambition?
Long to give up the same old way
Find another road to take
Keep going until dawn
How many times must another line be drawn?
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
Keep holding on so long
There's every chance that we might not be so wrong
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
How many times do we wonder if it's even worth it?
There's got to be some other way
Way to get me through the day!
Keep going until dawn
How many times must another line be drawn?
We could be down and gone
But we hold on
