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
