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

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)
(I wanna rock right now) [said slow]
Well get down now

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
'Cause it's all just a game
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
Said that I lied

You in my arms
Me in your hair
Pour me a drink
Tell me you care
Love on the loose
Said that I lied
Scotch on the rocks
Soda on the side
De de de de de de de de dum
De de de de de de de de de...

Love on the loose
Said that I lied
Scotch on the rocks
Soda on the side
De de de de de de de de dum
De de de de de de de de de...
De de de de de de de de de...

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

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

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.
