THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Figure Eight



Round, can you go around?

And if you can turn around without falling down,

You can skate in a figure eight.

If you can turn, if you can go straight.



Turn left, go straight.

Turn right, straight again.

And then do it over,

Repeat forever.

That's all you need to know,

That's the way you skate

In a figure eight.



If you can grab a circle in your hands

And twist it, that's an eight.



If it weren't for the zamboni,

You would never leave the ice.

And I think I know the reason why

You never take a break,

The sign that means forever

Is a sideways number eight.



Turn left, go straight.

Turn right, straight again.

And then do it over,

Repeat forever.

That's all you need to know,

That's the way you skate

In a figure eight.



And if you twist the number zero,

You will get the number eight.



Turn left, go straight.

Turn right, straight again.

And then do it over,

Repeat forever.

That's all you need to know,

That's the way you skate

In a figure eight.



If you can grab a circle in your hands

And twist it, that's an eight.

(If you can grab a circle in your hands

And twist it, that's an eight.)



Twist the number zero, you will get the number eight.


PINK FLOYD lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World



Goodbye cruel world

I'm leaving you today

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye all you people

There's nothing you can say

To make me change

My mind

Goodbye.


BOY GEORGE lyrics - Il Adore



Mother clutches the head

of her dying son

Anger and tears

So many things to feel

Sensitive boy

Good with his hands

No one mentions the unmentionable

But everyone understands

Here in this cold white room

Tied up to these machines

It's hard to imagine him

as he used to be

Laughing, screaming

tumbling queen

Like the most amazing light show

you've ever seen

Whirling, swirling

never blue

How could you go and die

what a lonely thing to do

Silence equals death

this is what they say

But the anger and the tears

Cannot take the pain away

How far must it go

How near must it be

Before it touches you

Before it touches me

Here in this cold white room

Tied up to these machines

It's hard to imagine life

as it used to be

Laughing, screaming

tumbling queen

Like the most amazing light show

you've ever seen

Whirling, swirling

never blue

How could you go and die

what a selfish thing to do

Did you ever ask those strangers

what they're searching for

Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure

You were hurt by love

But still you came right back for more

Il adore

Il adore

Il adore


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Gotta Get Back



(Shelby Lynne, Dorothy Overstreet and Bill Botrell)



I can almost touch you now

Flying above the clouds

In a big ol' plane

I can't wait to hold you and see you again

Tell you where I've been



I can almost kiss you now

When I close my eyes I feel your

Lips on mine

It's so hard to fight what I

Feel inside, for you



Gotta get back do I do

Gotta get back do I do I do

Gotta get back do I do

Butterflies take control me

Why's this airplane go so slowly

Flutter faster take me home to you



I can almost see you now

Is my imagination foolin' me somehow

Flying through the lining of a silver cloud

I'm gettin' closer now



I can almost hear you now

Oooh saying you love me

Like you know how

I wish this plane would just reach down and

Touch the ground

I swear I see you now

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Can't Stop It



I'm incurable but durable it's easy to see

Lack of restraint is a complaint of those around me

I know that others postpone

Gratification well I lack that affectation



Let's get it right

there's no end in sight

And I

Can't stop

Can't stop

Can't stop it

Can't stop

Can't stop

Can't stop shocking but I just can't stop it

That's right



Uncontrollable

I'm inconsolable

My pleasure center is the shelter for a reptile

I hate when I gotta tolerate

Frustration see I lack the motivation



Let's set this straight

I never wait

And I

Can't stop

Can't stop

Can't stop it

Can't stop

Can't stop

Can't stop shocking but I just can't stop it

That's right


CARLY SIMON lyrics - In Pain



(Carly Simon/Don Grolnick/Mike Mainieri)



This gray sky

Is good for cryin'

These November gray woods

Open to the fields

I came out here

In the cold

For my poor heart

Has turned to frost



I don't understand

What you just told me

What is all this about

About just being friends

It's a lousy lie

And a far cry

From what goes on

Between you and me



Pain, in pain

I'm in pain



You held me close to you

I didn't tell you what to do

We were burnin', burnin'

Burnin', burnin'

You made love to me

We were cryin', we were flyin'

We were dyin' in these fields

We'd come out here in the soft nights

I was sunburned under you



Pain, in pain

I'm in pain



So you want me to say

Do you want me to say, you want me to say

Say that I don't love you

Do you want me to smile, try, lie

And look away

How far away all the stars seem

And that gypsy moon

Cries, "You're a fool"


JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Cinco De Mayo In Memphis



(Guy Clark and Chuck Mead)



Meanwhile down on Beale Street

Drinking in a Beale Street bar

There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi

Has anybody seen Arkansas?

And the deckhands from the towboats

Come ashore wearing Mexican shoes

Headed strait for Graceland

It Was the first thing they wanted to do



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Soul Sisters huggin Senoritas

All sportin' Blue suede shoes



Porkpie hats and sombreros

Hangin on a downtown street

Swingin pool cues at pinatas

Don't that river smell sweet?

And they all come to get'm some Memphis

A little somethin' for their souls

Lowriders lined up with limousines Hey

They all came to rock and roll



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Southern belles and Senoritas

All sportin Blue suede shoes



Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Marchetti singing the blues

Southern belles and Senoritas

All sportin Blue suede shoes

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Again Tonight



Run in circles again tonight

Hump the moon again tonight

Gonna wear my dancin' shoes out tonight

Gonna have myself a big time again tonight



[Chorus:]

Again tonight

Again tonight

Again tonight



Girl's got lightning

Underneath her skirt

Boys try to touch it

For whatever it's worth

In the morning

She's just gonna be hurt

She wonders is it worth it again tonight



[Chorus]



Gonna catch that cloud tonight

Nine, cloud nine

Gonna try and catch that cloud tonight

Nine, cloud nine

Again tonight



Can you hold me baby again, again tonight

Can you sing

Can you dance baby

Can you sing

Can you hold me again tonight

Baby can you sing



Go ego trip'n again tonight

Tell the same lies they work all right

Gonna wear my dancin' shoes out tonight

Probably make a fool of myself again tonight



[Chorus]


KMFDM lyrics - The Problem



There was a hearing

The rules were broken by one

Followed by another



The evidence was presented

An overwhelming list of infractions



An overwhelming representation

Of one's malajustment to the system

The hearing was about him

About his attitude

About his behavior



He is, he represents

No, he embodies the problem

If he is expelled, the problem

Will go away



Responsibility

Relationship

Mutuality

Our solution



A person with a problem

I believe there's no such thing

As a person with a problem

If there is a problem it's a problem with the system

The system of home and family

Of school and community



He is not in this alone

He is not the problem



A reflection of the system

A mirror image of ourselves and our work



We acknowledge not all kids fit

Our ancillary design

And when they don't fit

They become the problem



The problem

Expel the problem

Make it go away

Expel the problem

Make it go away, make it go away

Make it go away


BILLY IDOL lyrics - One Night, One Chance



One night, one chance, she do most anything,

One night, one chance, she do and dream

sweet dreams for you.



Woke up in the morning, I said boy, wake up.

Nothing will be done if you don't get up.

Silence is guilty and the truth can talk.

If you got the legs, boy, come on, let's walk.



One night, one chance for you.

She'd dream sweet dreams for me and you.



Take me out this morning, come on, let me sleep.

Been hard pressed to keep it. Better hold on me.

But silence is guilty and the truth be told.

If you got the legs, boys, come on, let's walk.



Is it over? One night she dreamed for you.

One night, one chance for you.

One day, one night

She dreamed sweet dreams for you.



Woke up this mornig and now the dream was

out of sight.

Prison walls are breakin' down, and my

threadbare back is whipped right.

Silence is guilty and the truth can talk.

Well yes, I got the legs, boys, and I,

yes I walked.

And it's over, I'm glad it's over.

Are you glad it's over? It's over for one night.



One chance for sweet dreams, oh, for you,

For one night, for one chance of success

she'll sream and scheme for you.

Oh, oh, one night, oh, one chance she'll

dream sweet dreams for you.

One night, one life too. Her hole existence

has fallen in two.


LEONARD COHEN lyrics - Tower Of Song



Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

I'm just paying my rent every day

Oh in the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet

But I hear him coughing all night long

A hundred floors above me

In the Tower of Song



I was born like this, I had no choice

I was born with the gift of a golden voice

And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond

They tied me to this table right here

In the Tower of Song



So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll

I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong

Ah they don't let a woman kill you

Not in the Tower of Song



Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure

The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor

And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong

You see, you hear these funny voices

In the Tower of Song



I see you standing on the other side

I don't know how the river got so wide

I loved you baby, way back when

And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed

But I feel so close to everything that we lost

We'll never have to lose it again



Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back

There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track

But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone

I'll be speaking to you sweetly

From a window in the Tower of Song



Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

I'm just paying my rent every day

Oh in the Tower of Song


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I Used To Play It By Ear



I used to play it by ear

That wonderful thing called love

I never believed I'd fall in love, not me



I used to think that those who kissed and ran away

Would live to kiss again

Another day



I used to laugh at romance but now that I know the score

But now that the one I've waited for is here



I know that this is the song the angels sing

This is the "once-in-a-lifetime" thing

This is the real McCoy and it's crystal clear

What's deep in your heart

Can't be played by ear


MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - The Dreaming Road



(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



The stars are out tonight, the breeze is warm and light

As I'm walking right back to you

Along the dreaming road, the only way to go

When I'm travelling by our code that north is true

Once upon a time these same bright stars did shine

Down the center line leading here

Nearly thirty years ago, now the map is stained and old

But on the dreaming road the coast is clear

I loved you more than life and I guess that's why I died

When you would not love me back I couldn't survive

And so the girl I was turned into someone else

Keeping to myself and from the light

I wasn't odd or strange, just quietly rearranged

Sometimes the biggest change stays out of sight



So without plot or clue I ran away from you

I was twenty-two and drunk in Amsterdam

Got robbed in Paris, France, got home on one last chance

And without a backward glance I began again

And the days just kept on rolling and I just kept on going

Without a thought of ever slowing down

I made this long road mine but it was not the dreaming kind

Too many lost souls trying to get found

But beneath this ancient sky, one night we did collide

And the hole I thought was scaled opened wide

I tried so hard again not to fall back in

But you had me then by the throat

And a strange futility came washing over me

Almost peacefully I felt the rope



A million miles goes by in the blink of an eye

And so I cannot try to slow time down

And years are made of sand slipping through my hands

Even faster than the speed of sound

The stars are out tonight, the breeze is soft and light

As I'm walking right back to you

With nothing left to hide, the tears have all been cried

And the girl who died is walking too

Down the dreaming road, where the light is always gold

The air is never cold and always fine

And north is always true and you are always you

And I'm that girl you knew once upon a time


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Sunny



Never comb your hair, sun-ny!

Leave the breez-es there, sun-ny!

Let your stock-ing fall down,

For shock-ing the town is all that you do.

Smil-ing all the while, tom-boy

Where'd you get your smile from boy?

Lit-tle sun-ny girl,

Be my hon-ey girl, I'm for you!


RAY DAVIES lyrics - Is There Life After Breakfast?



(Ray Davies)



Lift yourself out of the doldrums

Make yourself a cuppa tea

Drag your emotions out of the gutter

Don't wallow in self pity



When you wake up, all of a fluster

Thinking life has passed you by

Give yourself a kick up the backside

Jump out of bed and punch the sky



Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't live in agony

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast



Cheer up some, put on the kettle

There's no point in being down[?]

Make your mind up, try to forget her

Boil the tea and I'll be [?]



Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't live in agony

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast



After breakfast

Life after breakfast

After breakfast



Just because all of the plumbing

Isn't all it used to be

Turn the tap, see, a little bit's coming

That must make you feel relieved



Don't turn into a total embarrassment

To your friends and family

Get out of bed, the whole day's ahead

So take the pills and drink your tea



Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't be so depressive

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast



Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

Is there life after breakfast?

Is there life after breakfast?



Put the kettle on, mate

BON JOVI lyrics - One Wild Night



It's a hot night, the natives are restless

We're sweating by the light of the moon

There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go

That could knock a witch off her broom



We slither on in and shed our skin

Make our way into the bump and the grind

So I'm passing by, she gives me the eye

So I stop to give her a light



[Chorus:]

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night



Havin' as much fun as you can in your clothes

Margarita had me feelin' alright

It just might be that I found religion

I've been on my knees for half of the night

Then I'm rolling the bones with Jimmy 'no dice'

Gonna take him for a couple weeks' pay

Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home

So I stopped

But you're not gonna believe who comes walking out



[Chorus:]

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life is for the living so

You gotta live it up, come on let's go)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night



[Guitar solo]



[Chorus:]

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life if for the living so

You gotta live it up, come on let's go)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one..



One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone)

For one wild night

One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life is for the living)

All we've got is one wild night



One wild night [4x]

One wild night blinded by the moonlight

One wild night 24 hours of midnight

One wild night stepped into the twilight zone for

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night.


TOM WAITS lyrics - Frank's Theme



Dream away the tears in your eyes

Dream away your sorrows

Dream away all your goodbyes

Dream away tomorrow

I promise when the sun comes up

I promise I'll be true

and just like before the band starts to play

they always play your favorite tune

and dream awawy when everyone's gone

dream away your grey skies tooo

dream away and nothing is wrong

dreams have wishes that are waiting for you

and up ahead the road is turning

turning for you and me

and just like before

the band starts to play

now there's that twinkle in your eye

and dream away


ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - A Night In Tunisia



The moon is the same moon above you

Aglow with its cool evening light

But shining at night, in Tunisia

Never does it shine so bright



The stars are aglow in the heavens

But only the wise understand

That shining at night in Tunisia

They guide you through the desert sand



Words fail, to tell a tale

Too exotic to be told

Each night's a deeper night

In a world, ages old



The cares of the day seem to vanish

The ending of day brings release

Each wonderful night in Tunisia

Where the nights are filled with peace



[Bridge]

[Scat]



[Repeat all twice]

[Scat]

Each wonderful night in Tunisia


JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - Purple Haze



Purple Haze was in my brain,

lately things don't seem the same,

actin' funny but I don't know why

'scuse me while I kiss the sky.



Purple Haze all around,

don't know if I'm coming up or down.

Am I happy or in misery?

Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.



Purple Haze was in my eyes,

don't know if it's day or night,

you've got me blowing, blowing my mind

is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

ASIA lyrics - On The Coldest Day In Hell



(Downes/Payne/Woolfenden)



Do you remember years ago?

All our hopes would ebb and flow

We thought we'd find a Promised Land

Our footprints in the sand



The mysteries, the twists of Fate

Have changed the path from love to hate

But won't erase sins of the past

They hide behind the mask



If I could conquer all our fears

Can forgiveness dry the tears?

If I falter, my soul I'll sell

On the coldest day in Hell



I'll never let you down

How can I tell you now?

But only Heaven knows

I won't let you go



I dream of demons through the night

A restless fever till morning light

My body's cold, my head's on fire

Give me back my life



Kill this ghost inside of me

Let me sail on deep blue seas

A new beginning, another page

Dawn gives in to day



I will conquer all our fears

Let forgiveness dry the tears

If I falter my soul I'll sell

On the coldest day in Hell



I'll never let you down

How can I tell you now?

But only Heaven knows

I won't let you go

I swear I'll stand my ground

How can I turn this round?

As this time Heaven knows

I won't let you know



When I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of you

When I'm breathing, I'm breathing with you



But only Heaven knows

I won't let you go

From the heart of West Philly, came my man named Jazz

With mucho pizzaz and a razzmatazz

He slice the wax, cut forward, cut back, right and exact

You know the man ain't at all wack

The magnificent movie astoundin

The crowd goin loco, kick drum poundin

People surroundin us checkin the concept

Cuttin up a storm that's why the crowd is all wet

Other DJ's standin around Jeff

Tryin not to give up props to the worlds best

Shakin his hands tryin to say that he can't flow

Cause Jeff is a horse though that they all turn to

A mellow kinda fellow but in the past he

Been known to get a attitude and get right nasty

Snatch the wax, it's a fact not a figment

To get real and rip wheels its downright ignant

And when he step off, toss the confetti

He burn more wheels that Mario Andretti

Jeff is there anythin left you wanna say to the crowd



[Break - Fresh Prince] (DJ Jazzy Jeff)

Well get down now

He stomped the comp, he got cuts like venom

Doper than dope, just cope the boys def, D J J-a-zzy Jeff

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - The Railroad



Up each morning at five o'clock,

Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.

The work is hard in a railroad yard,

Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card.

Workin' on the railroad.



CHORUS

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,

Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,

Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.



Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back,

Workin' on the railroad.

Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.

Workin' on the railroad.

I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,

Workin' on the railroad.

And with God we've been working, all hand in hand.

Workin' on the railroad.



CHORUS



Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,

Workin' on the railroad.

Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Workin' on the railroad.

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,

Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

L. A. GUNS lyrics - OK, Let's Roll



United Airlines Flight 93

Left 8:01 from Gate 17

Victims of a war they never knew existed

Hell looked them in the eye

And still they resisted



Lost brave souls your courage we remember

Sacrificed young lives last September

We still hear your battle cry

Are you ready, okay, let's roll

Are you ready, okay, let's roll



So began the massacre at twenty thousand feet

Red devils leap in charge, pulled captain from his seat

They watched them cut and slash, and anyone left standing

We knew deep in our hearts, this plane would not be landing



Never once were they ever in control

Lives were lost, but they never took our soul

We still hear your battle cry

Are you ready, okay, let's roll

Are you ready, okay, let's roll



Skies of Pennsylvania became a battle ground

Two hundred miles away, the towers had come down

One last chance to say goodbye, he called her on his phone

Said he knew what must be done, "I am not coming home."



Are you ready, okay, let's roll

Are you ready, okay, let's roll

Are you ready, okay, let's roll

Are you ready, okay, let's roll


ALICE COOPER lyrics - Raped And Freezin'



Finally got a ride, some old broad down from Santa Fe

She was a real go-getter

She drawled so sweetly, "I think, child, that things'll get better"

"Yes, I read the Bible", she said, "I wannaknow of you"

We pulled off the highway, night black as a window

Hey, I think I've got a live one

Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah

I think I've got a live one

Felt like I was hit by a dieselor a greyhound bus

She was no baby-sitter

"Get up, sugar, never thought you'd be a quitter"

I opened the back door, she was greedy

I ran through the desert, she was chasin

No time to get dressed, so I was naked, stranded in Chihuahua

Alone raped and freezing

Alone cold and sneezing

Alone down in Mexico

Alone

SLAYER lyrics - Threshold



I don't want to see, I don't want to hear

I don't want to feel anything Can't you understand

Everything I do doesn't stem from you

It doesn't have a fucking thing to do with you

I just want to die Throw it all away

Never have to feel again the way you make me

Lose my fuckin' mind all the fuckin' time

Can't control the violence that's spewing from me

Take It

I can't control the rage that flows from me

I can't shut it down it overwhelms me

I can't stop the rage that flows from me

Can't Stop The

Violence I love it

No one's immune to hate that flows from it

Infectious I feed on it

Every fucking endless day

You're either on my side or else You're In my way

No one stands a chance when I'm lashing out

Random hate there is no other way

It's my discipline it's my way of life



Never wanted bliss never wanted you

Never needed anyone I've polluted

Everything you feel everything you are

Everything you'll ever be you repulse me

It's always about you always come at me

With shit I can't identify you know it makes me

Lose my fuckin' mind all the fuckin' time

Can't control the violence that's spewing from me

Take It

Can't stop the

Violence I love it

No one's immune to hate that flows from it

Infectious I feed on it

Every fucking endless day

You're either on my side or else you're in my way

No one stands a chance when I'm lashing out

Random hate there is no other way

It's my discipline it's my way of life


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Smokestack Lightnin'



Oh, smokestack lightnin', shinin' just like gold

Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooooo

Oh, stop your train, let a hobo ride

Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooooo



Oh, fare you well, I never see you no more

Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooooo



Oh, stop your train, let a poor boy ride, callin' yes I do

Let a poor boy ride, let his foot step on



Oh, who've been you baby, since I've been gone


TOTO lyrics - Africa



I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in twelve-thirty flight

Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"



[Chorus:]

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had



The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become



[Repeat chorus]



[Instrumental break]



Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you



[Repeat chorus]

LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - Believe



I am you and you are me

Why's that such a mystery?

If you want it you got to believe

Who are we?

We're who we are

Riding on this great big star

We've got to stand up if we're gonna be free yeah



If you want it you got to believe

Believe in yourself

We just want to be loved



The Son of God is in your face

Offering us eternal grace

If you want it you've got to believe

'Cause being free is a state of mind

We'll one day leave this all behind

Just put your faith in God

And one day you'll see it



If you want it you got it

You just got to believe

Believe in yourself

'Cause it's all just a game

We just want to be loved



The future's in our present hands

Let's reach right in

Let's understand

If you want it you've got to believe yeah



If you want it you got it

You just got to believe

Believe in yourself yeah

'Cause it's all just a game

We just want to be loved


PAULA ABDUL lyrics - Blowing Kisses In The Wind



So tell baby tell your true heart

Say what you say when you're all alone

I'm trying

Trying to try

And feel you

And see if I see

I'm feeling alone



And all I want is

To get through

So baby, you'd see that the

Way you're leaving me

It won't do

It's like i'm...



[Chorus:]

Blowing kisses in the wind

Givin' you love that you haven't been given

I cross my heart and hope to die

I'm only wishing you'd love me like I



Blowing kisses in the wind

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Waiting for you is

Its like blowing, blowing kisses



So please baby, please

Release me

If time over time your heart's growing cold

I'm saying

If you don't believe in believing

Then how could true love ever be so

And all I want is to get through

So baby, you'd see that the way you're leaving me

It won't do



It's like i'm



[Chorus]

Like i'm like blowing kisses



I'm some-biddy-bum-bum



Like i'm blowing kisses



And all I want is to get through

So baby, you'd see that the way you're leaving me



It won't do



It's like i'm...



[Chorus]



Like i'm blowing kisses in the wind

Like i'm blowing kisses in the wind

Like i'm blowing kisses in the wind



Waiting for you is



Is like blowing, blowing kisses


LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - The Mystic's Dream



(Loreena McKennitt)



A clouded dream on an earthly night

Hangs upon the crescent moon

A voiceless song in an ageless light

Sings at the coming dawn

Birds in flight are calling there

Where the heart moves the stones

It's there that my heart is calling

All for the love of you



A painting hangs on an ivy wall

Nestled in the emerald moss

The eyes declare a truce of trust

And then it draws me far away

Where deep in the desert twilight

Sand melts in pools of the sky

When darkness lays her crimson cloak

Your lamps will call me home



And so it's there my homage's due

Clutched by the still of the night

And now I feel you move

Every breath is full

So it's there my homage's due

Clutched by the still of the night

Even the distance feels so near

All for the love of you.


SAXON lyrics - Cut Out The Disease



You make your living from backstabbing

You're just a snake in hand made boots

You slither round like something slimy

Nothing's ever what it seems



Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit

Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit



You circle around just like a vulture

You're waiting for your piece of meat

Beneath your charm there's something hiding

The way you spin your vicious web



Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit

Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit



We did it all - we did it all for you

Did it all - we did it all for you



Once, you were our friend

But you betrayed us in the end



Confrontation was your weakness

Evil lies behind that smile

You slither round like something slimy

You're just a snake in handmade boots



Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit

Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit



Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit

Cut out the disease

The lies and deceit



Once, you were our friend

But you betrayed us in the end


TELEVISION lyrics - Glory



(Verlaine)



I was out stumbling in the rain staring at your lips so red

You said, "'Blah, blah, blah" you got a pillow stuck in your head"

How could I argue with a mirror

She looked at me. Yes, I hear her.

When I see the glory, I ain't gotta worry



She said, "There's a halo on that truck, won't you please get it for me?"

I said, "Of course my little swan, if ever and ever you adore me."

She got mad. She said, "you're too steep."

She put on her boxing gloves and went to sleep -

When I see the glory

A I ain't got no worries

JOHN LENNON lyrics - Imagine (Live)



Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...



Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...



You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one



Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...



You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

THE EAGLES lyrics - Midnight Flyer



Oo, Midnight Flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Oo, Midnight Flyer

I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on



A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay

So throw your rope on another man

And pull him down your way

Make him into someone who can take the place of me

Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be



Oo, Midnight Flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Oo, Midnight Flyer,

I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on

Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Antone,

Any town is where I'm bound any way to get me gone

Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind

'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine



Oo, Midnight Flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Oo, Midnight Flyer

I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on

I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on


GREG BROWN lyrics - Blues Go Walking



I try to stay here

But my blues go walking

My blues go walking

They go out walking

I try to stay here

When i'm going down

I try to stay here

But my blues go walking around



I lay in my bed

But my blues go walking

My blues go walking

My blues go walking

I stay in my bed

& i don't even make a sound

I lay in my bed

& my blues go walking 'round



My blues go walking

They go looking

Someone's burning

What someone's cooking

Someone's moaning

Someone's out of her nightgown

My blues go looking

My blues go walking 'round



Don't fall in love

If you can't live it

If you can't give it

If you can't live it

Don't fall in love

If you can't take it to town

Don't fall in love

Or your blues will go walking 'round

ZZ TOP lyrics - Lowdown In The Street



Well there comes lola, out of control-a:

She just loves those rhythm and blues.

And miss ivy will be arriving;

In leopard skin tights she's willing to cruise.



It's a fiend scene and it happens 'bout once a week.

So fork over some bread, it'll do your head to get low down in the street.



There's jimmy and jojo, there's kim and keith,

Way outside the eyes of cool.

And sweet m. b., and there's little g. b.

Everybody wants to be their fool.



It's a fiend scene and it happens here ev'ry week.

Fork over some bread, it'll do your head to get low down in the street.



Some nights are lonely, some nights are lazy,

But ain't nobody try and slip away.

They'll make you loose. They'll make you crazy.

Know what I mean, what you say, what you say.



It's a fiend scene and it happens 'bout once a week.

So roam on in, it ain't no sin to get low down in the street.

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - For No One



(Lennon/McCartney)



[Originally by The Beatles]



Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all the words of kindness linger on

When she no longer needs you



She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years



You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead

You think she needs you



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years



You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him



Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head

You won't forget her



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years

TOTO lyrics - Cruel



What you've got

You had to steal

That's the reason

For how you feel

Considering what

You've done so far

I'm rather amazed

At where you are



Lift your head up babe

Pull yourself together

Nothing's worse than dying slow

There's no reason darling

Reason whatsoever

That we can't end this game of touch and go



It's such a cruel world

When you have to think twice,

And you're caught up in this roundabout

It's such a cruel world

When your back's against the wall

And there's no way out



You're not giving it up,

But you're giving it out

Seems to me,

You got a little too much doubt

Augmentation,

Is what you need

Your generosity

Looks alot like greed



You might call me crazy

If you don't understand it

There's no way for you to know

You say love is hazy,

And you don't demand it

Can't we end this game of touch and go



It's such a cruel world

When nothing goes right

And the plans you made

Start falling 'round you

It's such a cruel world

Well, just throw me the rope babe

And pull me out



You've got that kind of love

It flows like a fountain

But sometimes love can be unkind

My kind of love you know

It's higher than a mountain

But love can be so hard to find



Lift your head up babe

Pull yourself together

Nothing's worse than dying slow

There's no reason, darling

Reason whatsoever

That we can't end this game of touch and go



It's such a cruel world

When you have to think twice

And you're caught up in this roundabout

It's such a cruel world

When your back's against the wall and there's no way out



It's such a cruel world

It's such a cruel world out there baby

It's such a cruel world

It's such a cruel cruel world and there's no way out



What love

Get you right

Wanna get you right



Oh I - I see darkness in your future babe

Oh I - It's a tunnel black as night

Oh I - See a rich man with his hand out babe

Oh I - Know a seer with no sight

Oh I - Watch fire burn those bridges babe

Oh I - Feel wrong turn into right

Oh I - Yeah

Oh I - Do you understand me babe

Oh I - Ooh

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Scotch On The Rocks



Scotch on the rocks

You at my side

Pour me a drink

Nowhere to hide

Love on the loose

Pour me a drink

Tell me you care

RINGO STARR lyrics - In A Heartbeat



(Diane Warren)



If you're ever feelin' down,

If your world ain't turnin' 'round,

I'll make it turn around for you,

I'll do whatever i can do.



If you ever need someone, (if you need someone)

I would love to be the one.

Call when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)

If you just need a hand to hold. (when you need a hand to hold)



In a heartbeat,

I'll be by your side

Any time you want me,

Any time you want me.

In a heartbeat,

You can have my love

Any time you want me,

Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.



(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh -)



If your sky is full of rain,

I'll help you find the sun again.

I'll chase the clouds away for you,

I'll find a brighter day for you.



Any hour of the night, (you know i'll be there)

I'll be there as fast as lightning strikes.

And when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)

I'll be the hand that you can hold. (when you need a hand to hold)



In a heartbeat,

I'll be by your side

Any time you want me,

Any time you want me.

In a heartbeat,

You can have my love

Any time you want me,

Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.



(baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there)



In a heartbeat,

I'll be by your side

Any time you want me,

Any time you want me.

In a heartbeat,

You can have my love

Any time you want me,

Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.



In a heartbeat,

I'll be by your side

Any time you want me,

Any time you want me.

In a heartbeat,

You can have my love.


ZUCCHERO lyrics - Hai Scelto Me



(Zucchero)



Hai scelto me

Oh no

Quando capita.



Ho scelto te

non lo so

quando capita



so che mi sento diverso

quasi disperso

hai scelto me

e adesso che... e...



ho scelto te

amore mio

se ti capita fa

che sia tutto diverso...



Fa che sia tutto diverso

c'e un uomo perso

sul treno che

precipita...

che un cielo terso

accendi il blu

se tu...



Hai scelto me

passa di qui

se ti capita


AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Without You



(P. Ham, T. Evans)



No I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes

Your sorrow shows, yes it shows



No I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrows

When I had you there then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know



I can't live, if living is without you

I can't give, I can't give anymore



I can't live, if living is without you

I can't give, I can't give anymore

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Turning Circles



Change, change, it's all rearrangin'

Lookin' around at the situation

Go back, see what you're doin'

The way you're takin' life, you're goin'

To rack and ruin



I'm turning circles, so stay away

We've all got somethin' wrong to say



Slow down, see where we're headin'

The way things are goin' now

Your life it ain't pleasin'

Had my share of up and down

Don't spend time, don't spend time

Rushin' around.



I'm turning circles, so stay away

We've all got somethin' wrong to say.

Uh-uh... uh-uh...

Uh-uh... uh-uh...

I'm turning circles, so stay away

We've all got somethin' wrong to say.

Uh-uh... uh-uh... (turning circles)...

Uh-uh... uh-uh... (stay away)...

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - Public Enemy #1



You and me

We're gonna escape tonight

On the run

Under the moonlight

Don't think about nothin'

Don't think about nothin'

Tragedy

Runnin' the red light

Hear the screams

Another one dies tonight

Don't think about nothin'

Don't think about nothin'



[Pre Chorus:]

Do you know how it feels

To be wanted

Do you know how it feels

To be wanted

Do you know how it feels

To be wanted

To be under the gun

On the run, having fun

When you're young

You're so young

When you're young



[Chorus:]

Public enemy #1

Oh yeah

I'm public enemy #1

Oh yeah

I'm public enemy #1

Oh yeah.......

Climbing high

Fast as the speed of sound

Loser's dreams

Crashing to the ground

Don't think about nothin'

Don't think about nothin'



You and me

Under the gun tonight

On the run

We're lost in the lime light

Don't think about nothin'

Because we're gonna get crazy



[Pre Chorus]



[Chorus]

[Pre Chorus]

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - God Given



Hey man, please don't make a sound

Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you

Have a little taste, no more time to waste

You don't wanna get left behind

Cause it's all coming down right now



How hard is it to see

Put your faith in me

Cause you wouldn't want to be

Nailed to the wrong piece of wood

You should get where you belong

Everything you know is wrong

C'mon, sing along, everybody now



God given



And they gave us sight

And you'll see the light

And it burned so bright

Now you know we're right

But its yet to come

And the work we've done

We've just begun

We're the chosen one



Hey, step into the light

How can this be right?

I'm in front of you

Now ask me to leave

This you cannot win

With the color of your skin

You won't be getting into the Promised Land

It's just another case

Still don't know your place

Step aside, look away, wipe that look of your face

Cause waves of defiance

Come raining from the sky

C'mon, sing along, everybody now



God given



And they gave us sight

And you'll see the light

And it burned so bright

Now you know we're right

But its yet to come

And the work we've done

We've just begun

We're the chosen one


EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Rhythm Guitar



(Emmylouy Harris / Paul Kennerley)



She played around town 'til she opened the show

For a high-rollin' singer up from Tupelo

He saw her in the lights and he give her a hand

Next thing Sally knew she was one of the band



She said "don't give me nothin' that I can't use

I got the rhythm and I do don't need the blues

I don't wanna ride no shootin' star

Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar"



She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen

And he'd had quite a few of them backstage queens

She was the pretiest thing that he ever had heard

Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' the third



Well Sally keeps her feet planted on the ground

She don't lose her head when the sun goes down

Everybody's out lookin' for romance

But Sally just wants to get the people to dance


ACCEPT lyrics - Don't Go Stealing My Soul Away



Yeah, if love was money

I would always pay the price

While a million dollars

Will never ever change my life



It's an endless highway

The whisky bars and one-night stands

Lost in a cheap hotel

You know a woman needs a man



Can't you see it's all for you, yeah



Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm giving it to you

Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm living just for you, for you

Alright



So every song I sing

Comes from a lonely heart on stage

But they're still together

More than a thousand miles away



Can't you feel my love for you



Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm giving it to you

Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm living just for you, for you



Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm giving it to you

Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm living just for you



Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm giving it to you

Don't go stealing my soul away

I'm living just for you



Living just in you


NAZARETH lyrics - Talk Talk



Driftin' in the streetlight

Dancin' in the twilight zone

Dreamin' of a spotlight

Don't wanna go back home



Joe and his buddies are hangin' around



Bad reputation all over the town

All they ever gonna do

Is talk, talk, talk, talk



Lucy and Debbie and Donna and Joyce

Bad reputation the same as the boys

All they ever wanna do

Is walk, walk, walk, walk



Standin' on the sidwalk

Starin' at the storefront signs

Waitin' at the bus stop, truck stop

The hurry up and wait stop

They don't mind



Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam

Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn

All they ever gonna do

Is talk, talk, talk, talk



Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue

Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you

All they ever wanna do

Is walk, walk, walk, walk



They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast

They gotta have a future

'Cos sure as hell ain't got no past

But in the meantime



They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast

They gotta have a future

'Cos sure as hell they got no past



They always have a good time

They never get a wake up call

They're hangin' out at maisies and daisies

They always love the crazies

That ain't all



Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam

Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn

But all they ever gonna do

Is talk, talk, talk, talk



Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue

Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you

All they ever wanna do

Is walk, walk, walk, walk

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Never Can Say Goodbye



Never can say goodbye

No, no, no, no... I

I never can say goodbye

Even tho' the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go

Tho' I tried and tried to hide my feelings then always seem to show

Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no

Tell me why is it so?

But I never can say goodbye

No, no, no, no

I never can say goodbye

Ev'ry time I think I've had enough and start heading for the door

There's very strange vibrations, piercing me right to the core

It says turn around you fool you know you love her more and more

Tell me why is it so?



Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye girl

(never can say goodbye, girl)

Ohh, ohh, baby,

(don't wanna let you go, girl)

I never can say goodbye,

No, no, no, no, no, no



Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl

(never can say goodbye, girl)

Ohh, ohh, ohh,

(don't wanna let you go, baby)

I never can say goodbye,

No, no, no, no, no, no,

Ohh



Never can say goodbye

No, no, no, no

I never can say goodbye

I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out

But there's that same unhappy feelin' there's that anguish, there's that doubt

It's that same old dizzy hang-up can't do with you or without

Tell me why is it so?



Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye girl

(never can say goodbye, girl)

Ohh, ohh, baby,

(baby)

I never can say goodbye

No, no, no, no, no, no



Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl

(never can say goodbye, girl)

Ohh, ohh, ohh,

(baby)

I never can say goodbye,

No, no, no, no, no, no,

Ohh


STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Hiding Place



(Steven Curtis Chapman and Jerry Salley)



[Psalm 32:6-7]



In the distance I can see the storm clouds coming my way,

And I need to find a shelter

Before it starts to rain,

So I turn and run to you Lord;

You're the only place to go,

Where unfailing love surrounds me

When I need it most.



[Chorus:]

You're my hiding place;

Safe in your embrace,

I'm protected from the storm that rages

When the waters rise,

And I run to hide;

Lord, in You I find my hiding place.



I'm not asking You to take away

My troubles, Lord,

'Cause it's through the stormy weather

I learn to trust You more.

So I thank You for Your promise;

I have come to know

Your unfailing love surrounds me

When I need it most.



[Chorus]



So let Your people seek You

While You may be found,

'Cause You're our only refuge

When the rain comes pouring down.



[Chorus]


LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS lyrics - Contrary Mary



(Robert Ellen)



Contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing she say

She contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing in the world she say

She done been married twice and her first husband, man he just let her have her way

But you know I won't do that!



You better change your way woman, little girl, Johnny tells you again, good advice!

You better change your way, little girl, Johnny tells you again

Then you'll have better times, little girl and you'll have much o'friend



One more, one more time'll do

One more, one more time'll do

Yes I'm gonna get me somebody else darling, then I'll be through with you

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Love



Love is real

Real is love

Love is feeling

Feeling love

Lave is wanting to be loved

Love is touch

Touch is love

Love is reaching

Reaching love

Love is asking to be loved

Love is you

You and me

Love is knowing

We can be

Love is free

Free is love

Love is living

Living love

Love is needing

To be loved

Hum... hum...


CAROLE KING lyrics - Come Down Easy



Daytimes run away

Nighttimes seem so long

I'm allright in the sunshine

But the evenings let me down

It sure is good to see you now

I'm really glad you came

And I would tell you what I need

But it never feels the same



So come down easy

Let it come down slow

I've been alone so long that I just don't know what to do

And I don't want to lose you



How my life slips away

How the time goes by

And I know I belong here

Yes, I know, though I don't know why



Riding along with a friend of mine

Got enough space, got enough time

Pieces of fruit and glasses of wine

And love comes in in the summertime

And I don't want to lose you



God bless the children

God bless us all

We are the children of Paradise

On our own now since the fall

All the things that are worth having

Are never ours to keep

Still I can see today could be

A good time for you and me

If you come down easy

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - One Dream



[Vancouver 2010 Olympic Theme]



We can feel a change is coming

Like a kiss upon a tide

Breathing life into every heart

The hopeful kind of times

Cause we'll walk this road together

Though at times we felt alone

In the struggle to leave dissent

We find the strength one yet to find



You carry your courage, carry the history

But all are gone before you

Wherever you come from

Or born of one dream finds you, standing here



And you know that you can make it

(Can make it)

You've got the whole world in your hands

(Whole world in your hands)

And you've spent a lifetime working for this moment

(Working for this moment)

And you are shining

You're all that you wanted to be



When you're airborne and free

At peace with gravity

High above everyone can see

The spirit of human ecology

How your flame keeps burning

When you leave all doubt behind

It's a giant leap for mankind

At peace we all shine



You carry your courage, carry the history

But all are gone before you

Wherever you come from

Or born of one dream finds you, standing here



And you know that you can make it

(You can make it)

You've got the whole world in your hands

(Whole world in your hands)

Cause you've spent your lifetime working for this moment

(You are shining)

And you are shining

(You are shining)

You are all that you wanted to be

(You are shining)

And you are shining

You're all that you wanted to be

ENIGMA lyrics - T. N.T. For The Brain (Midnight Man Remix)



Smell your skin, feel your breath

You on my side, I couldn't resist

I hope I'll understand some day

What's the meaning of this crazy game?

It is real and pure

T. N.T. for the brain

T. N.T. for the brain

Smell your skin, feel your breath

You on my side, I couldn't resist

T. N.T. for the brain

T. N.T. for the brain


VAN MORRISON lyrics - Joyous Sound



How sweet that joyous sound

Whenever we meet, whenever we meet

How sweet that joyous sound

Whenever we meet again



I think you know it well

Whenever we meet, whenever we meet

I think you know it well

Whenever we meet again



Yah alright

And you will begin to know about that

That grace will follow us

Wherever we go, wherever we go

That grace will follow us

Until we meet again

Hey!



Oh yeah

Uhuhuhuh



Just run and let it out

Oh yeah now

And you will begin to know about it darling

That grace will follow us

Wherever we go, wherever we go

That grace will folow us

Until we meet again



(Van and choir)

How sweet that joyous sound

Whenever we meet, whenever we meet

How sweet that joyous sound

Whenever we meet again

Oh! Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet again

Oh! Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet again

Oh! Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet

Whenever we meet again

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - The Wrestler



[Theme song for "The Wrestler"]



Two, three, four



Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?

If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making his way down the street?

If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me



Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?

Tell me can you ask for anything more?



Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?

If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?

If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me



Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?

Tell me can you ask for anything more?



These things that have comforted me, I drive away

This place that is my home I cannot stay

My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display



Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?

If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me


ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Shake A Hand



(Joe Morris)



Just leave it to me

Don't ever be ashamed

Just give me a chance

I'll take care of everything



Your troubles I'll share

Let me know and I'll be there

I'll stay close to you

Anyplace and anywhere



Shake a hand, shake a hand

Shake a hand if you can



Be truthful to me,

I'll be truthful to you

I'm in love with you so

Till I don't know what to do



So, let's call it a day

I said all I have to say

Except don't forget to pray

And shake a hand ev'ry day



Shake a hand, shake a hand,

Shake a hand if you can


INXS lyrics - Stay Young



Stay

Stay Young

Stay Young



Stay Yo

Stay Yong

Stay Young



Keep that biting lip

Know what I mean

Sweat upon the brow

That's what I want



Stay Young, just this once

I... wanna be good value

I... wanna see in the dark

I... wanna win with you



Hard edged thinker

Know what I mean

Fevered opinions

That's what I want

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON II lyrics - In My Younger Days



(Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller))



In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now

In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now

I wouldn't be standing around here, begging for this little woman to let me in her house



Back in those days, I wished I'd knowed then like I know now

Back in those days, I wished I'd knowed then like I know now

The money I was throwing away, I could have saved it and bought my own house

(And I'd've had a home)



In my younger days, I wish I knowed then like I know now

Well, in my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I knowed now

I wouldn't be standing 'round, begging this woman to let me in her house


BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - I See No Ships



It's been a beautiful day

Can't wait for tomorrow to come

Don't see the problem

We're riding a number one

It just gets easier

It just gets better and better



[Chorus:]

I see no ships

I see no ships



Oh the distractions

On a night like this

Which do you want

Choose one from the list



Are you gonna push the buttons?

Do you know who's lookin out?



[Chorus]



Watcha don't know

It can't hurt you

Do these wonders

They won't vouch for you



[Chorus]



Your really a front

Everything you do hits

The crowd has gathered

And standing at your hips



Don't need no credentials

Or maybe your invincible



[Chorus]



Watcha don't know

It can't hurt you

Endless wonders

Won't defend you



[Chorus]

10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Jezebel



(Music and Lyrics : Natalie Merchant)



To think of my task is chilling.

To know I was carefully building the mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it off.

I've sat in the dark explaining to myself that I'm straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easily.

Called myself Jezebel.

I don't believe.



Before I say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.

Family is family, don't let this tear us apart.



You lie there, an innocent baby.

I feel like the thief who is raiding your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room.

I know your feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow.

But I'm a shadow, I'm only a bed of blackened coal.

Call myself Jezebel for wanting to leave.



I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.

I'm just saying we've mistaken one for thousands of words.

And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain that I damn that word.

I've no more ways to hide that I'm a desolate and empty, hollow place inside.



I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.

I'm not saying love's a plaything.

No, it's a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.

How I wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our lives into a blindfold over both our eyes.


MOTORHEAD lyrics - America



America, hot as hell, hysterical, cast your spell

The endless road, another night to bend your mind

White line fever, I think that state patrol car's still behind



America, cold as death, up to Canada, Crystal Meth

Another West Coast turnaround and back to start

Yakima Reservation, just another broken heart



America, liked it fine, Sinsemilla, Ripple Wine

Another Schoolgirl with her daddy's Pontiac

Another killer from the wrong side of the tracks



America, fast cars

America, the girls, the bars

America, don't make no fuss

America, get on the bus

AMY GRANT lyrics - Jingle Bell Rock



(Joe Beal and Jim Boothe)



Jingle bell, jingle bell

Jingle bell rock

Jingle bell swing

And jingle bells ring

Snowin' and blowin'

Up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun



Jingle bell, jingle bell

Jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in

Jingle bell time

Dancin' and prancin'

In jingle bell square

In the frosty air



What a bright time

It's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell, time

Is a swell time

To go glidin' in a

one horse sleigh



Giddy-up, jingle horse

Pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and mingle

In a jinglin' beat

That's the jingle bell rock


STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - While You See A Chance



Stand up in a clear blue morning

Until you see what can be

Alone in a cold day dawning

Are you still free

Can you be



When some cold tomorrow finds you

When some sad old dream reminds you

How the endless road unwinds you

While you see a chance take it

Find romance, fake it

Because it's all on you



Don't you know by now

No one gives you anything

Don't you wonder how you keep on moving

One more day

Your way

Ooooooooh, your way



[Instrumental Interlude]



When there's no one left to leave you

Even you don't quite believe you

That's when nothing can deceive you

While you see a chance take it

Find romance, fake it

Because it's all on you



Stand up in a clear blue morning

Until you see

What can be

Alone in a cold day dawning

Are you still free

Can you be



[Instrumental Interlude]



And that old gray wind is blowing

And there's nothing left worth knowing

And it's time you should be going



While you see a chance take it

Find romance

While you see a chance take it

Find romance

While you see a chance take it

Find romance

While you see a chance take it

Find romance

While you see a chance take it

Find romance


ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone (Slow Version)



Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.

You're right, and I'm left all alone.

Well, you tried to tell me so,

But how was I to know

That she was not the one for me?



You told me all along,

You're right, our love was so wrong.

But now I changed my mind,

Because she broke the ties that bind,

And I know that she never cared for me.



Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,

I guess I'm not so smart.

Oh, you tried to tell me along

she'd only break my heart.

I'm left, you're right, she's gone.

You're right, and I'm left all alone.



Well, she's gone I know not where,

But now I just don't care.

For now I'm falling for you.



If you'll forgive me now,

I'll make it up somehow.

So happy we will be,

In a home just for three,

And I'll soon forget her,

Now I know.



Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,

I guess I'm not so smart.

You tried to tell me all along,

She'd only break my heart.



Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.

You're right, and I'm left all alone.

Well, she's gone, I know not where,

But now I just don't care,

For now I've fallen for you.


GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Are You Ready



Are you ready? You can trust me all the way

Are you ready? Well then let me hear you say...

That you're ready, and the world will know it's right

Yes you're ready, and I know it's outta sight

Now you're ready, well then what you waitin' for?

If you're ready, you just open up your door

'Cause I'm ready, for everything you got

Yes, I'm ready, come and get it while it's hot


THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT lyrics - Gloria



Like to tell you 'bout my baby

You know she comes round

Just 'bout five feet four

From her head to the ground

Well she comes around here

Just about midnight

She makes me feel so good Lord

Makes me feel alright.



Her name is G-L-O-R-I-A

Gloria, Gloria, Gloria... [etc]



Yeah, she comes around here

Just about midnight

Makes me feel so good Lord

Makes me feel alright

Walkin' down my street

Comes up to my house

She knocks upon me door

Makes me feel alright.



Her name is G-L-O-R-I-A

Gloria, Gloria, Gloria... [etc]


HAWKWIND lyrics - Assault And Battery



(Brock)



Lives of great men all remind us we may make our lives sublime

And departing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time

Of hewn stones the sacred circle where the wizened sages sat

Let us try to remember all the times where they were at.

So your thoughts they were expecting

assault and battery on the human anatomy

Assault and battery on the human anatomy man.


MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - If That's What It Takes



(Michael McDonald & Jackie De Shannon)



How do I please you

How do I please you

How do I please you

How do I please you

Girl, in your one way heart

In your one track mind

How do I please you

How do I please you



Oh, when I say that you're the only one

I'm not tryin' to fool you, baby

Well, I'm only here to get the job done

'cause you're so used to getting what you want

Well, look no further, baby



[Chorus 1:]

If that's what it takes

I don't need to know anymore

Ain't no doubt about it

That's what I came here for



So how do I please you

How do I please you

Girl, in your one way heart

In your one track mind

How do I please you

How do I please you



Well, I don't know much about the life you lead

But it ain't enough just to offer my heart

Girl, I know I could get you what you need

'cause you're so use to getting what you want

Well, look no further, baby



[Chorus 1]



[Chorus 2:]

If that's what it takes

I ain't gonna lose any time

Whatever you want from me, baby

Whatever it takes to make you mine

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Just Show Me How To Love You



[Sarah Brightman:]

Tu cosa fai stasera?

Rimani ancora un po

Sara quest' atmosfera

Ma non mi dire di no



Per farti prigioniero

Qualcosa inventero

Ma che bisogno c'era

Di amarti subito un po



[Jose Cura:]

Questo giorno e una pazzia

Ma la luna e amica mia

Se ti resta un sogno da buttare via

Soli in mezzo a una citta

Solo amici e poi chissa



Poi non basta mai

Tante cose da dirsi

E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi

Poi non basta mai

Si fa tardi ma dai

Dove corri a quest'ora?



[Both:]

Just show me how to love you

Io non ti lascio pi?

Gabbiano di scogliera

Io sto una favola e tu?

Just show me how to love you



[Sarah Brightman:]

Fame o febbre o quel che sia

Mi ci sento a casa mia

Dentro questo sogno da buttare via

Non mi sembra vero ma

Sembra un'altra la citta



[Jose Cura:]

E non basta mai

Tante cose da dirsi

E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi

E non basta mai

E gia tardi ma dai

Dove torni a quest'ora?



[Both:]

Just show me how to love you

E ci ridiamo su

Gabbiano di scogliera

Ma dov'eri nascosto'

Dov'eri finora?



[Sarah Brightman:]

Tu cosa fai stasera?

Ci ridiamo su

Magari un'altra sera

Ed e gia domattina

E la luna la spegni tu!





[Translation:]



Just Show Me How to Love You

[Sarah Brightman:]

What are you doing tonight?

Stay a little longer

It may be this place

But don't say no



I will invent something

To hold you prisoner

But what was the need

To love you just a bit



[Jose Cura:]

This day is crazy

But the moon is my friend

If you still have a dream

Alone in the middle of a city

Only friends and then who knows



Then it's never enough

So many things to tell each other

And kissing and understanding and hugging

Then it's never enough

And we get late, but come on

Where are you running to this time?



[Both:]

Just show me how to love you

I will never leave you

Like a seagull on the rocks

I stay a fairytale, and you?

What are you doing tonight?



[Sarah Brightman:]

Hunger or fever or whatever

I feel at home

Inside this dream to throw away

It doesn't seem true but

It seems another city



[Jose Cura:]

And it's never enough

So many things to tell each other

And kissing and understanding and hugging

And it's never enough

It's already late, but come on

Where are you going back to this time?



[Both:]

Just show me how to love you

And we shall laugh about it

Seagull on the rocks

Where were you hiding?

Where were you until now?



[Sarah Brightman:]

What are you doing tonight?

We'll laugh about it

May be another night

And it's already tomorrow morning

And you must turn off the moon!


SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Suicide



(Quatro/Tuckey)



Goodbye American dream

With your life insurance and pension schemes

Whoah

It's a lonely ride down golden highways

Hope is blind

But shoot for the skyways

Promises - turn to dust



And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street



Assembly line living machine

Mass production bought sight unseen

Whoah

Rule and regulation daze

Please the man

Or lose your pay

And you sell your soul to society



And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street



Rise now

No more lies

Deep depression after feeling high

When promises come all undone

All your promises

Turn to dust



And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

And it's suicide

I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street


10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Noah's Dove



(Music and Lyrics : Natalie Merchant)



You won a prize for that, for telling lies like that so well that I believed it.

I never felt cheated.

You were the chosen one, the pure eyes of Noah's dove.

Choir boys and angles stole your lips and your halo.



In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives.

In your reckless eyes, you only have time and your love of danger--to it your no stranger.



In that August breeze of those forgotten trees, your time was set for leaving, come a colder season.

In your reckless eyes, it's never too late for a chance to seize some final breath of freedom.

Very, so very wise.

Don't reveal it.

I'm tired, tired of knowing where it is you're going.



In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives.

In your reckless eyes, you only have time and your love of danger--to it you're no stranger.

In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives.

In your reckless eyes, it's never too late for a chance to seize some final breath of freedom.
