STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Come Let Me Make Your Love Come Down

There's a girl in my life about 4'10"

She's the one who brings me morning joy

And brings me joy when my day ends

She says my life will never have no problems

That her love cannot fix

And she proves her worth true

Every time she goes into her love bag of tricks



She's got everything I want

Everything I need

And if she ain't got it

She knows how to find the remedy



And she tells me



Come let me make your love come down

[Repeat 7 times]



She says you'll never worry in your life

As long as you come and let me

Make your love come down

I call her Miss Satisfaction

Cause she keeps me satisfied

She gets my automatic smile

When she whispers Steveland, I love you, I love you,

I love you



Such a lovely world is my life

Since that girl has come inside

And everyday that I live

I'm gonna do my best to keep her satisfied



Our love will never have no problem

That the both of us can't fix

Cause like glue to a stamp

Like gum on a shoe

She and I are going to stick



She's got everything I want

Everything I need

And if she ain't got it

She knows how to find the remedy



And she tells me



Come let me make your love come down

[Repeat 7 times]

PRINCE lyrics - Pop Life

What's the matter with your life

Is the poverty bringing U down?

Is the mailman jerking U 'round?

Did he put your million dollar check

In someone else's box?



Tell me, what's the matter with your world

Was it a boy when U wanted a girl? (Boy when u wanted a girl)

Don't U know straight hair ain't got no curl (No curl)

Life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it



Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody can't be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it



Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?

Is there anybody living there? (Anybody living there)

U can't get over, if U say U just don't care (Don't care)

Show me a boy who stays in school

And I'll show U a boy aware!

Dig it



Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody can't be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it



What U putting in your nose?

Is that where all your money goes (Is that where your money goes)

The river of addiction flows

U think it's hot, but there won't be no water

When the fire blows

Dig it



Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody wants to be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it



Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody can't be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it

[Hook] (Too Short)

I, I only see em' on the late night creep

(Take your clothes of, BIATCH, take your clothes off)

(Take your clothes of, BIATCH, take your clothes off) la-da-da-la...

[Murder One:]

Damn, I'm about to smack this

Peepable brown miraculous!, glutious-maximus, shorty is bad as shit!

Little cutie got skills like magic dust, (bling) her throat skills feels fabulous (oh shit)

Nigga mother-fucker feel like this an ambulance

Put a nigga in a coma with some bomb ass head

You mad at me, cause I get it for free you cant, top dolla

Cause you wanna get made, you heard what i said?

Pussy make weak niggas dead

True dat' that's a thang, take two plus bitch, pass it back

Get freaky wit' me shit I'm bringin' ya back

Oh you lovin' this mack, cause I got your leg shakin' like that

Cause a nigga's straight killin' the cat



[Too Short:]

Yo nigga keep payin' what you want me fo'?

[Hook]



[Murder One:]

Girl, I like the way you shake that thang

Get it girl, make that change

Like the way you pop, drop, stop, say my name

Girl I ain't bout' playin', brown skin with a bow-leg

Head cross on fo'-head, five-eight with her shoes on

She said "I want what you want", now I'm at her home and I'm fuckin on her futon

Like girl let's do some'n, I ain't gone cum you cum

Homegirl got a true monkey, monkey wanna call that two-some

Come through, with henny and coke, plenty of smoke, plenty of the folks just with me

We ball out pretty, we told on twentie's, we fall out shitty

So if y'all not with me, y'all see me mob with two ho's

Y'all see em' slob on my knob, mobbin' my bob

Y'all drivin' too close



[Too Short:]

I know you from Chi-town, pimp her

Break a bitch and lie down in her

Make a little church girl a sinner

Dont worry im finna', put her in a skirt and send her to work

Big pimpin' on the turf, she better use it til' it hurts

Put the money in her bra and not her purse

Bitch, make that cocky glass then panties always drop fast

Dont ever stuff that ass, just hit me when you got my cash



[Hook]



La-da-da-la...

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Sunlight

Have you seen the sunlight pouring through her hair

And felt her warm mouth on you in the summer's air

Running in a field of brown, laughing, rolling on the ground now

Smiling as she pulls you down

That's the way she feels about you

That's the way she feels about you

If your dreams should wake you shaking in the night

She can touch your face and take away all fright

Like a tree in a meadow wind she will bend to take you in

Makes no difference where you been

That's the way she feels about you

That's the way she feels about you-yeah

If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming

You know she is there, she can share

You're aware she cares about you

In the morning wake up laughing with the day

She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay

Like the sunshine warms the sand

She will touch you with her hand now

Touching makes you understand

That's the way she feels about you

That's the way she feels about you

La la la la la la La la la la la la

If you wake up screaming, scared about what you're dreaming

You know she is there, she can share

You're aware she cares about you

In the morning wake up laughing with the day

She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay

Like the sunshine warms the sand

She will touch you with her hand now

Touching makes you understand

Oh that's the way she feels about you

That's the way she feels about you-yeah

That's the way she feels about you

That's the way she feels about you

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Chances

(Graham Russell)



There's a chance you will be there

I'd like to know the truth

I'll find it out somehow

The chances aren't too strong

A chance you will be there

Please be there alone

Help me speak of love

Chances aren't enough

One's too good to miss

Chances aren't too strong

A chance is all there is



There's a chance you will be there

Wond'ring what to do

How to play my role

I'll leave it up to you

If I disguise my smile

It gives too much away

And what if we can't speak

What then shall I say

Don't you be too long

Something has gone wrong

The chances are all gone

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Ballerina - Move On Up

Spread your wings

Come on fly awhile

Straight to my arms

Little angel child

You know you only

Lonely twenty-two story block

And if somebody, not just anybody

Wanted to get close to you

For instance, me, baby

All you gotta do

Is ring a bell

Step right up, step right up

And step right up

Ballerina

Crowd will catch you

Fly it, sigh it, try it

Well, I may be wrong

But something deep in my heart tells me I'm right and I don't think so

You know I saw the writing on the wall

When you came up to me

Child, you were heading for a fall

But if it gets to you

And you feel like you just can't go on

All you gotta do

Is ring a bell

Step right up, and step right up

And step right up

Just like a ballerina

Stepping lightly

Alright, well it's getting late

Yes it is, yes it is

And this time I forget to slip into your slumber

The light is on the left side of your head

And I'm standing in your doorway

And I'm mumbling and I can't remember the last thing that ran through my head

Here come the man and he say, he say the show must go on

So all you gotta do

Is ring the bell

And step right up, and step right up

And step right up

Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah

Crowd will catch you

Fly it, sight it, c'mon, die it, yeah

Just like a ballerina

Just like a just like a just like a ballerina

Get on up, get on up, keep a-moving on, little bit higher, baby

You know, you know, you know, get up baby

Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing

Stepping lightly

Just like a ballerina

Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes

Working on

Just like a ballerina

PANTERA lyrics - Biggest Part Of Me

Babe

I need you again

It's getting late

I'm getting high

Please let me in

Love

I give you all my love

I just need someone to hold on to

Won't you let me in

Girl

You're the biggest part of me

I need you back in my arms

Girl

You're the biggest part of me

How long will you leave me out here

In the dark?



Another lonely night

Back in silent town

Thinkin' of ways to get you back

In my arms

Lovein' me all the love you can give

But you've got to go

I just can't live

Another day

There's no other way



Girl

You're the biggest part of me

I need you back in my arms

Girl

You're the biggest part of me

How long will you leave me out here

In the dark?



It's a lonely night

Feels like i'm dying inside

All i need is one more chance before I

Lose my mind



[Guitar solo]



Girl

You're the biggest part of me

I need you back in my arms

Girl

You're the biggest part of me

How long will you leave me out here

In the dark?

KATE BUSH lyrics - Oh England My Lionheart

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.

The soldiers soften, the war is over.

The air raid shelters are blooming clover.

Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--

My London Bridge in rain again.



Oh! England, my Lionheart!

Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.

You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames--

That old river poet that never, ever ends.

Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,

And keep the tower from tumbling.



Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

I don't want to go.



Oh! England, my Lionheart!

Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.

Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.

Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing

In the orchard, my English rose,

Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.



Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

I don't want to go.

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

I don't want to go.

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - This Is My Song

(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)



I can't believe what the people say

There's only hate everywhere

So many people go different ways

So many things don't you care



They see nobody, they see themselves

But a stage like in a show

They see the hell, and they need your help

They need your help, they need love, love



This is my song

I tell you about the story of love

This is my song

I tell you about the story of love



This is my song

I tell you about the story of love

This is my song

I tell you about the story of love



I think I need you, you need me too

The place where we live is here

The world is griping what can I do

For you and you everywhere



I sing this song 'bout the world of love

And hope you hear what I say

Forever freedom, forever love

Forever love everyday

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nuttin's plenty for me

I got no car, got no mule

I got no misery

De folks wid plenty o' plenty

Got a lock on de door

'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em

While dey's out a-makin' more

What for?

I got no lock on de door

Dat's no way to be

Dey kin steal de rug from de floor

Dat's okeh wid me

'Cause de things dat I prize

Like de stars in de skies

All are free



Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nuttin's plenty for me

I got a gal, got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long

No use complaining

Got my gal, got my Lawd

Got my song



Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nuttin's plenty for me

I got the sun, got the moon

Got the deep blue sea

De foks wid plenty o' plenty

Got to pray all de day

Seems wid plenty you sure got to worry

How to keep the debbel away

Away

I ain't frettin 'bout hell

'Till de time arrive

Never worry long as I'm well

Never one to strive

To be good, to be bad

What the hell

I is glad I's alive



Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nuttin's plenty for me

I got a gal, got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long

No use complaining

Got my gal, got my Lawd

Got my song

ANNIE LENNOX lyrics - Little Bird

I look up to the little bird

That glides across the sky

He sings the clearest melody

It makes me want to cry

It makes me want to sit right down

and cry cry cry

I walk along the city streets

So dark with rage and fear

And I...

I wish that I could be that bird

And fly away from here

I wish I had the wings to fly away from here



But my my I feel so low

My my where do I go?

My my what do I know?

My my we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best

But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now

I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed

So I've just got to put these wings to test



For I am just a troubled soul

Who's weighted...

Weighted to the ground

Give me the strength to carry on

Till I can lay this burden down

Give me the strength to lay this burden down down down yeah

Give me the strength to lay it down



But my my I feel so low

My my where do I go?

My my what do I know?

My my we reap what we sow

They always said that you knew best

But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now

I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed

So I've just got to put these wings to test

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - For Your Love

(Graham Gouldman)



For your love.

For your love.

For your love.

I'd give you everything and more, and that's for sure.

For your love.

I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door.

For your love.



To thrill you with delight,

I'll give you diamonds bright.

Double dates that will excite,

To make you dream of me at night.



For your love.

For your love.

For your love.



For your love, for your love,

I would give the stars above.

For your love, for your love,

I would give you all I could.



For your love.

For your love.

For your love.

I'd give the moon if it were mine to give.

For your love.

I'd give the stars and the sun 'fore I live.

For your love.



To thrill you with delight,

I'll give you diamonds bright.

Double dates that will excite,

To make you dream of me at night.



For your love.

For your love.

For your love.

For your love.

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Purple Haze

[Originally by Jimi Hendrix]



Purple haze all in my brain

Lately things don't seem the same

Acting funny but I don't know why

Excuse 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

What ever it is that girl put a spell on me



Help me help me

Oh I don't know



Purple haze all in my eyes

Don't know if it's day or night

You've got me blowin, blowin my mind

Is it tomorrow or just the end of time



Who knows?

Help me

Oh yeah

Come on know

Help me

Help me

RICHARD MARX lyrics - Should've Known Better

Another sleepless night I can't explain

Somebody said they heard me call your name

The radio won't let you leave my mind

I know it's over but I don't know why



[Chorus:]

Should've known better

Than to fall in love with you

Now love is just a faded memory

Should've known better

Now I'm a prisoner to this pain

And my heart still aches for you



There was no risk that I wouldn't take

And not a promise that I didn't make

All I asked was that you just hold on

And now I'm wondering what I did wrong



[Chorus]



I gave you all of my body and soul

Never believing we might lose control

I took my hands off the wheel



I can't remember if the lies were true

It's been a million years since I touched you

I thought time might help me win this game

But being away from you is slowly driving me insane



[Chorus]

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Leave Mine To Me

there are desperate times upon us,

there are codes of white and black,

political resentment and people start to crack,

there's hate and opposition,

there's fumbling dialog,

yet you sit there and judge me

and you think it makes a difference



if you think I'm all alone you are foolishly wrong,

there's an entire army who blindly follow along,

and you happen to be one of them believe it or not,

even though you try not to be we are of the same plague



the other ways we're taught to fear,

don't even scratch the surface of the problem here,

I'm not blind, and I'm not scared,

so many crucial factors exist out there,

and we're but one, and they're bout two,

and how we come to terms will help us pull through



things cannot change too fast,

it took us this much time,

to reach our current platform and walk this fragile line,

if I thought I'd make a difference I'd kill myself today,

but so many are like me lost in the fray



you create your own reality,

and leave mine to me

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Geronimo's Cadillac

I wanna share my dreams

Wanna share with you

On the wings of love

Like dreamers do

Touch your heart -

You're the queen of broken hearts

Oh we are daytime friends -

And nighttime fools

Wanna play this game -

You break the rules

Tears of love are frozen tears



Geronimo's Cadillac -

Is making all girls turn mad

Geronimo has a heart - oh it's a drag

Geronimo's Cadillac -

Oh making all girls turn sad

Geronimo has a heart - oh it's a drag



Geronimo's Cadillac

It's tossing Oh in your head

It's tossing and turning

It's burning it makes you mad

Geronimo's Cadillac - Oh baby

I'll hold you back

You're tossing and turning,

It's burning, it's makes you sad



I'm looking through the eyes of love

Made a fool of me - can't get enough

Touch my heart - Boulevard of broken dreams

Another time for love - other place to be

Don't let him take your love

Your love from me

Tears of love are frozen tears

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Halfway There

(Hall)



Girl we've come together

And then we've felt the sadness

That comes when it's thru

Do we walk our own way in a world turned blue

Oh it's true that I can't see rhyme or reason

And when feeling's out of season

What can I do

Except try to walk away with you



[Chorus:]

You and I are halfway there

On some road to somewhere

Can I be the one

You and I are halfway there

Can't we go all the way



We were born in the brave new world

Taught to be modern little boys and girls

Then they tried to take our imagination away

When the guns are firing somewhere

And there's evil in the air

What can be do

Except try to say what's true

You know what's true?

This is true girl



[Chorus]



Oh we must go on

Oh girl, we can't turn back

We can't retreat

We've gotta attack

Be here right now

I'll be here for you

My love won't die

We've gotta break

Break on through

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Hold Back Time

We painted inside and out with just a gallon of joy

We had the girl and the boy

And love was never a toy

Just like that old rusty Ford we restored out in back

It made that clickety-clack

Our new old house by the track

At her window was a touch of lavender lace

I remember her face

Too many rainbows to chase

Right through the cracks of the paint

Come the tracks of the train

Scatter like diamonds of rain

Down our old blacktop two lane



Hold back time

Don't talk about tomorrow

Tell that old clock on the wall

He'll just have to call it a day

Hold back time

When we're in each other's arms

We're in each other's arms

So hold back time



With that old country hymn spinning round in her brain

She kept her fancy for play

More than for fortune and fame

Now when we feel every wheel spinnin' steel on that track

We shake the dust off the sack

In our old house by the track



Hold back time

Don't talk about tomorrow

Tell that old clock on the wall

He'll just have to call it a day

Hold back time

When we're in each other's arms

We're in each other's arms

So hold back time

Time

THE CADETS lyrics - Stranded In The Jungle

I crashed in the jungle

While tryin' to keep a date

With my little girl

Who was back in the states

I was stranded in the jungle

Afraid and alone

Tryin' to figure a way

To get a message back home

But how was I to know

That the wreckage of my plane

Had been picked up and spotted

And my girl in lovers lane

And meanwhile, back in the states



Baby, baby, let's make romance

You know your old time lover hasn't got a chance

He's stranded in the jungle flat as he can be

So come on pretty baby just you and me

Meanwhile back in the jungle



The boys in the jungle had me on the run

When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb

When I woke up and my head started to clear

I had a strange feelin' I was with cookin' gear

I smelled something cookin' and I looked to see

That's when I found out they was a cookin' me

Great Cuckoo let me outta her

Meanwhile back in the states



Baby, baby, let's make romance

You know your old time lover hasn't got a chance

He's stranded in the jungle flat as he can be

So come on pretty baby just you and me

Meanwhile back in the jungle



I jumped outta the pot and finally got away

Frantic and worried about what my baby would say

So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim

But my chance of survival was gettin' mighty slim

So I thumbed down a whale who was headin' my way

And I reached the states in 'bout a half a day

And when I got to lovers lane I was almost dead

When my soul was gone, here's what I said



Baby, baby, your man is no good

Baby, baby, he should've understood

You can trust me as long as can be

So come back pretty baby where you used to be

'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you

'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you

'Cause I love you

STRAY CATS lyrics - Struck By Lightning

Well trouble was on the horizon

The sky was cloudy and grey

Hurricane winds were a-blowing

And she was as cold as that day

Well her eyes were as black as that dark stormy night

The first time I touched her I trembled with fright

I found myself running for cover

But I couldn't make it in time

I was struck by lightning twice

Struck by lightning twice

I don't take nobody's advice

I was struck by lightning twice

When the train starts a-coming

You'd better start running

Struck by lightning twice

Blinded by love like a blizzard

I couldn't see nothing but you

My heart it was pounding like thunder

Oh baby can't you hear it too

Well you left me for dead, washed up on the shore

I didn't learn once

So I came back for more

I kept you so safe and so warm

And you threw me out in the raging storm

Struck by lightning twice

Struck by lightning twice

I don't take nobody's advice

Baby I was struck by lightning twice

When the train starts a-coming

You'd better start running

Struck by lightning twice

Lord I was struck by lightning twice

I was struck by lightning twice

I don't take nobody's advice

I was struck by lightning twice

When the train starts a-coming

You'd better start running

Struck by lightning twice

Spinning round like a tornado

My head way up in the sky

I felt the earth shaken beneath me

I felt like I wanted to die

Well then out of the fog and out of the night

There in the mist in a rainbow of light

The chances are one in a million

That lightning could ever strike twice

Struck by lightning twice

I was struck by lightning twice

I don't take nobody's advice

Struck by lightning twice

When the rain starts comin'

Better start runnin'

Struck by lightning

Struck by lightning

Struck by lightning twice

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Spanish Harlem

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is a special one,

It's never seen the sun

It only comes out

When the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming



It's growing in the street

Right up through the concrete

Soft and dreamin'



I found a rose in Spanish Harlem

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal

That look down in my soul

And starts a fire there

And then I lose control

I have to beg your pardon



I'm going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In my garden



There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is a special one,

It's never seen the sun

It only comes out

When the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming

I'm going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In my garden

BEE GEES lyrics - Living In Chicago

If your happy and marching forward in your band

Holding hands together, I will understand

In my life I'm together on my own

With my own private eggshell, and my phone



If your mind is in the darkness, could you know

If it suits you to be fast or far too slow

Will you show me someone who may treat me kind

Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind



If you're living in Chicago, it's your home

If you're living in Chicago, you're alone



If you're happy living down on the ground

Where the crippled and the blind alone can see

I got a feeling God is still around

And if I'm right, there must be more then this to see



If your mind is in the darkness, could you know

If it suits you to be fast or far too slow

Will you show me someone who may treat me kind

Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind



And as soon as you discover where you're goin'

Can I walk along the way, along the way

I'm lonesome and I need somebody knowin'

Just a few nice words to get me through the day



If your mind is in the darkness, could you know

If it suits you to be fast or far too slow

And will you show me someone who may treat me kind

Or is this world just a frame of mind



If you're living in Chicago, it's your home

If you're living in Chicago, you're alone



If you're living in Chicago, it's your home

If you're living in Chicago, you're alone



(break)



If you're living in Chicago, you're alone \ repeat 4 times and fade

If you're living in Chicago, it's your home/

PRINCE lyrics - Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife

If I ever held a hand

It was only because I'd never held your hand

That was part of the plan

I had 2 get it right if I was 2 be your man

And if I ever kissed your lips

I needed time 2 cross the others off my list (off my list)

A higher high 2 the trip (trip)

I wanted U 2 go, that was my wish - yes it was



(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife

Air, food, water, love of my life



If I ever shared a bed

It was only cuz I wanted 2 live up 2 what the people said, oh yes

(What they say?) [x5]

Now I'm livin' instead

Everyday just 2 say U're the only one who's in my head

(The only one) [x2]

Oh yes U are



And if I ever made U cry

All I have 2 do is think about it and I just wanna die (I just wanna die)

(I just wanna break down and die, die, die, die)

How I'd ever make it by (I don't know) without U, baby (without U, baby)

I don't know (No!), I hope I never have 2 try, yeah

(Please don't ever leave me)

Oh, listen 2 me



(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife

(My sweet, sweet friend, lover, sister, mother/wife)

Air, food, water, love of my life



The eyes of my child I see every time U look at me

(I see a sweet baby smile)

A sweet baby smile like a light that shines 4 all 2 see



(And if I ever held a hand) If I ever held a hand

Oh, 'twas only cuz I'd never held yours

That was part of, part of the plan

I had 2 get it right (right) if I was 2 be your man because...



(Ooh my) Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife

(Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife)

My, my, my, my air, my food, my water, love of my life (I love U)

(Everlasting life)



Teacher (teacher), healer (healer), feeler (feeler), sight 4 sore eyes

(Let me look at your eyes - U're so pretty)

Oh, yes U are, baby

(Ooh my) Don't U know U're my friend, my lover, my sister, love of my life (mother/wife)

Yeah, baby, yes U are



["Te amo" is "I love U"]

(Ooh my) Friend (te amo), lover (te amo), sister (te amo), mother/wife

DORO PESCH lyrics - Only You

Only you.. can possess me

I need your love.. day 'n' night

Oh I love you more.. every day, every day!

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Charlottesville (Starr Hill Music Hall)

Starr Hill Music Hall

Glazed with alcohol

Spun from sugar by woodland creatures

You're the pupil, they're the teachers



Gonna pack my rucksack in my backpack

And scamper down the train track

Sell the house, sell the car, sell the kids



Starr Hill Music Hall

Exploding like a basketball

Filled with devils from the depths of Hell

Hey, what's that smell?



Gonna pack my backpack in my rucksack

And scamper down that train track

Sell the dog, sell the fish, sell the birds



Woo hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

GREEN DAY lyrics - Uptight

I woke up on the wrong side of the floor.

Made, made my way through the front door.

Broke my engagement with myself.

Perfect picture of bad health, another notch scratched on my belt.

The future just ain't what it used to be.



I got a new start on a dead end road.

Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows.

Owe, I paid off all my debts to myself.

Perfect picture of bad health, another notch scratched on my belt.

The future's in my living room.



Uptight, I'm a nag with a gun.

All night, suicide's last call.

I've been uptight all night.

I'm a son of a gun.

Uptight I'm a nag with a gun.

U2 lyrics - Miss Sarajevo

Is there a time for keeping a distance

A time to turn your eyes away

Is there a time for keeping your head down

For getting on with your day



Is there a time for kohl and lipstick

A time for cutting hair

Is there a time for high street shopping

To find the right dress to wear



Here she comes

Heads turn around

Here she comes

To take her crown



Is there a time to walk for cover

A time for kiss and tell

Is there a time for different colors

Different names you find it hard to spell



Is there a time for first communion

A time for east 17

Is there a time to turn the mecca

Is there a time to be a beauty queen



Here she comes

Beauty plays the crown

Here she comes

Surreal in her crown



[Pavarotti]

Dici che il fiume

trova la via al mare

E come il fiume

giungerai a me

Oltre i confini

e le terre assetate

Dici che come fiume

come fiume

L'amore giunger

L'amore

E non so pi pregare

E nell'amore non so pi sperare

E quell'amore non so pi aspettare



[English translation:]



You say that the river

finds the way to the sea

And as the river

you'll come to me

Beyond the borders

and the thirsty lands

You say that as river

As river

Love will come

Love

And I cannot pray anymore

And I cannot hope in love anymore

And I cannot wait for love anymore



[Bono]

Is there a time for tying ribbons

A time for Christmas trees

Is there a time for laying tables

When the night is set to freeze

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Pearl's Eye View (The Life Of Dickey Chapelle)

(Nanci Griffith and Maura Kennedy)



Oh she was high up there in the air

Caught still by a soldier's stare

Whenever it was men amongst men

Down upon the land

And she followed those mother's sons

She felt the thunder of their guns

From a pearl's eye view, just a camera in her hand

She was born Georgette but the name

Didn't suit her well

So, she blew out of Wisconsin as Dickey Chapelle



Oh, she flew with a pilot's pride

The first witness to either side

She carried relief to the lost ones

Between the bombs

And we saw it all through her lens

She knew she'd go back again

When the call rang out once more from Vietnam

She's been through this before

She'll tell ya war is hell

Her pearl earrings caught the light

On Dickey Chapelle



Oh, that's the way it was

She was the only one to tell

In 1962,

She blew the whistle loud and clear

Now we trace her wings

In her footsteps without fear

To the front lines where she fell

Where she lies still

But she's still there



It was 1965,

Over Chu Lai in a free fall dive

In a dawn patrol to cover the dead zone ground

She tiptoed through the land mines

All along the enemy lines

But she never saw the one that took her down

She captured the bloody pearls of war so well

That war was bound to steal the end of Dickey Chapelle



Dickey Chapelle (from a pearl's eye view)

Dickey Chapelle (from a pearl's eye view)

Dickey Chapelle (from a pearl's eye view)

Dickey Chapelle....

THE CHURCH lyrics - There You Go

If you think that light's too pretty for you

You should step outside your skin for a moment or two

Desert winds come howling down empty boulevards

Blowing like sick minstrels when the dust is too hot

You thought you were a stranger in your opportunity clothes

But the sun makes it all hazy and it doesn't half show

You thought you were an actor with an amusing part

You danced the bossa nova with your celluloid heart

You looked into the mirror and laughed at your face

Someone else was watching and handling your case

You think that it's easy with the drugs and guitars

You like to be backstage and in the star's car



There you go



Summertime, oblivious through noise and the heat

Crowded room where you can't find your feet

All the seals are broken at a quarter to two

But you don't even recognize who you're taking to

When they said you're ready you took a swing

But it was empty, you didn't hit a thing

When they said you're ready you hung on tight

But balance is elusive as you run down the night



There you go



Don't throw away your tickets yet, there's probably more

You just never know what you're hanging in for

Everybody told you you're the one in the know

So that's the way, let's do it, there you go



There you go

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

(Sam Phillips)



Strange things are happening everyday

I hear the music up above my head

Though the side of my heart has left me again

I hear music up above



Secrets are written in the sky

Looks like ive lost the love ive never found

Though the sound of hope has left me again

I hear music up above



Standing in my broken heart all night long

Darkness heald me like a freind when love was lost

Looking for the land thats hidden in the cross

The finders love

I know I loved you too much

Ill go alone to get through



I hear rosetta singing in the night

Echos of lighting shine like stars after there gone

And tonight shes my giude as a girl on the moon

With the music up above

CARLY SIMON lyrics - I Get Along Without You Very Well

(Hoagy Carmichael)



I get along without you very well

Of course I do

Except when the soft rains fall

And drip from the leaves, then I recall

The thrill of being sheltered in your arms

Of course I do

But I get along without you very well



I've forgotten you just like I should

Of course I have

Except to hear your name

Or someone's laugh that is just the same

But I've forgotten you just like I should



What a guy

What a fool I am

To think my breaking heart could kid the moon

What's in store

Should I phone once more

No it's best that I stick to my tune



I get along without you very well

Of course I do

Except perhaps in Spring

But I should never think of Spring

For that would surely break my heart in two

TINA TURNER lyrics - The Difference Between Us

(N. Holand, C. Celli & A. Levan)



If you really love me don't try to change me

If you look in the mirror, it's not me you see

I don't want what's yours as mine

No I'll never cross that line

I want you just the way you are

Boy you're everything I'm not

And that's all I've ever wanted



If we ever come close

If we ever discover

How to hold on and keep our faith in each other

The difference between us will keep us together



I tell you my love is everlasting

If you promise to give your best every moment

No, you don't have to compromise

Try to live each other's life

We can be ourselves tonight



If we ever come close

If we ever discover

How to hold on and keep our faith in each other

The difference between us will keep us together



If we open our eyes

Don't look any further

Cos we found all we'll ever need in each other

The difference between us will keep us together



So don't look at the words I've said

There's nothing that I might regret

No don't play games inside your head



Keep us, keep us

What's going on inside your head

Keep us, keep us

Keep us together

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Wing

I was a wing in heaven blue

soared over the ocean

soared over Spain

and I was free

needed nobody

it was beautiful

it was beautiful



I was a pawn

didn't have a move

didn't have nowhere

that I could go

but I was free

I needed nobody

it was beautiful

it was beautiful



and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing

in heaven blue



I was a vision

in another eye

and they saw nothing

no future at all

yet I was free

I needed nobody

it was beautiful

it was beautiful



and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing

in heaven blue



and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing

in heaven blue



and if there's one thing

could do for you

you'd be a wing

in heaven blue

BEE GEES lyrics - Wildflower

Wildflower

Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know

It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind

A wonderful place to be



Wildflower

Sweet as the morning light

if I blink an eye will you go

I'm starting to care much more then I dare

A wonderful thing to see

And what do we know



First say you love me

And then say you leave me

But we never say goodbye

God you're an angel

But even an angel must choose

Someone will hurt you and when you stop running

There's only this love of mine



Wildflower

Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know

If older is wise

One look in your eyes

I'm younger then I should be

And only time

Waiting for you

to grow



First say you love me and then say you'll leave me

But we never say goodbye

God you're an angel

But only an angel must choose

Someone will hurt you and when you stop running

There's only this love of mine

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - How Does It Feel

[Chorus (D' Wayne Wiggins):]

How does it feel when ya livin like that, and ya pockets are fat?

Cuz you're a playa, and you're pimpin hoes

So tell me how does it feel when ya money aint right,

and ya pockets are tight?

You're still a hustla, and you can't let go



When I was broke, I used to feel the pain

Now I got money, aint nothin changed

Same hustla, tryin to hold on to what I got

And thats alot, players like me can't be stopped

I was starvin, couldn't afford a TV Dinner

But now I roll around in a DB-7

Throwin up the two, to the hoes and pimps

It's all about the money, you know what I'm gettin

How the fuck you think I felt when I was broke

All the rumors I got killed and I was smoked

I tell the truth, I don't care how you feel about me

I'm still in the game and you still gotta see

My face goin down the muthafuckin street

Top down, beat loud with a top-notch freak

You say it aint real life

Cuz you don't know what it feels like, beyotch



[Chorus]



I feel like I'm a million dollar bill

Still in the game, all about the real

Can't feel sorry for you, do your thang

Don't be mad at the world cuz you can't hang

If you feel like doin somethin that aint productive

Look in the mirror, check yourself and say "fuck it"

It's the year two-thousand, I know you feel me

But I can't understand why you niggas wanna kill me

Went from broke to rich, I got your bitch kneelin

I told her "smoke this dick bitch, don't fight the feelin"

And when she did it, she started jockin me

I saw it in your eyes, you felt like sockin me

For every action theres a consequence

Playa-haters always tryna start some shit

But then you gotta fight these niggas here

It feels good to be a playa, bitches everywhere



[Chorus]



I feel like eleven albums aint enough

And at the same time you feel like you can't come up

Sometimes real life don't feel right

You been fuckin her for years but its still tight

Then I came through bammin, vagina started expandin

Used to be shallow, but now you landed in

Deep water drownin and thats some real game

It's been your pussy for years, but it don't feel the same

I been creepin, feelin your bitch up on the weekend

Is it still good she calls me Dr. Feelgood

I'll be her last pimp, you just a has been

And when she talks about you its all past tense

I said I don't give a fuck about history

I'll tell you bout my life then show you how this dick'll be

In you all night, go ask your bitch was she feelin me

Man, you niggas be killin me, haters



[Chorus]

STYX lyrics - Children Of The Land

Children of the land

Don't wear a frown upon your face

Come on and join your hands

We're all a part of the human race



The music is here

To let you leave your fears behind

Come on along don't do me wrong

Let's see what you might find



Children of the land

Children of the land

Don't misunderstand

We're all children of the land



Don't trust anyone else

To run your life and set your goals

You've gotta be able to live with yourself

When you are getting old



Others are getting blamed

For messing your life around

It's your own fault if you complain

For letting it get you down



Children of the land

Children of the land

Don't misunderstand

We're all children of the land



Children - come on children now

Children - yeah

Children - I said children yeah

Children - come on children now

Children - of the land

Children - of the land

Children - I said of the land

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - Body And Soul

(Edward Heyman, John Green, Robert Sour & Frank Eyton)



Don't you know, he was the king of saxophones

Yes indeed he was;

Talkin' 'bout the guy that made it sound so good

Some people knew him by the Bean

But Hawkins was his name



He sure could swing and play pretty too

Sounds good to me - should sound good to you

I love to hear him playing Body and Soul

Very pleasing to the ear



When I first heard it on the record

I just stopped - right there,

Sounded like a band of angels in the sky,

And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone

I fact I pay no 'ttention to the saxophone

'Til Coleman Hawkins came along and spoke to everyone -

Saying better listen won't you hear me,

While I play for you -



Sometimes it's hot

Then again it's blue

My soul just seems to wander,

Pleasing each and everyone -

It's what I've long been craving for



The doors have not been always open,

But I am trying to please you.

Please don't stop me.

Hope you like it folks



And then he started cookin' -

Everytime he played

Some melodic melody fast or slow

You could tell that it was Hawkins -



No other one ever has

Quite captured his tone

Just he alone -

Has the sound that penetrates

It will sure go right through you

Yes it will -

And every chorus gives you just another thrill



Then along came Eddie Jefferson

He sang the melody like Hawkins played it

He sang it true

He sang it blue

Made words for it too



All his fans in New York loved him

There's no one above him

Here in the USA

I've heard 'em say ol' Eddie was the man



Oh how he could sing

Man did he swing

Sang on the wing, did his own thing

Yes he did



Throughout the country -

Music lovers are still wiggin' on Eddie's singin'

All around the world - he is known

Rhythm was his special joy -

He swung it like a horn



He must have been born to be a singer

'Cause his lyrics were so sincere and true

Funny sad or blue

Oh yeah!



And we've got to remind you

Many years it took him

Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame



He was twenty years ahead of his time

And he knew it

But he kept right on-a singing

He went all around the world making rhythm

'Cause music sure was in him and he knew it was



Sang with Moody and Richie Cole

He could sing it just like Bird

But his forte was the words he wrote to

Music that he sang



So he sang, and he sang

And he sang his words so clever

And I know they'll silence him never

'Cause he cut this masterpiece



And now we're trying to sing it for you

Hope the Bean and Eddie both would still approve

There we go

We didn't mean to reminisce

You can surely bet

That we won't forget

'Cause we hear them yet

Goodbye

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Big Boys

I am starting to function

In the usual way

Everything is so provocative

Very very, temporary

I shall walk (I shall walk)

Out of this place (out of this place)

I shall walk

Out on you

'Cause you go silly

If she's willing

Trying so hard to be like the big boys



So you take her to the pictures

Trying to become a fixture

Inch by inch trying to reach her

All the way through the second feature

Worrying about your physical fitness

Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..



I was caught in the suction

By a face like a truncheon

I was down upon one knee

Stroking her vanity



I was stuck on a hammerhead

I came alive and left for dead

As my face returned to red

Choking on my pride and pity



We can talk (we can talk)

Until your face is blue (till your face is blue)

We can talk but she'll get to you

After you've been loved and hated

By the ones you've watched and waited

Found that they were overrated



She'll be the one - when the party's over

She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home

She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto

She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to

She'll be the one - who knows all your history

She'll be the one -



So you can cross her off your list

And you try so hard

And you try so hard

And you try so hard

To be like the big boys, oh.

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Back In Baby's Arms

(Bob Montgomery - Allen Toussaint)



I'm back in baby's arms how I've missed those lovin' arms

I'm back where I belong back in baby's arms



Don't know why we quarrel we never did before

Since we found out how it hurts I bet we never quarrel anymore

I'm back in baby's arms...

[ guitar ]

Thought I didn't need his love till it took away

Now I'm back where I belong in my baby's arms I'm gonna stay

I'm back in baby's arms...

Back in baby's arms back in baby's arms

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Everyday

(Hardin / Petty)



Every day, it's a-getting closer,

Going faster than a roller coaster.

Love like yours will surely come my way.



Every day, it's a a-getting faster.

Everyone says go ahead and ask her.

Love like yours will surely come my way.



Every day seems a little a longer.

Every way loves a little stronger.

Come what may, do you ever long for

True love from me?



[Verse 1]



[Verse 3]



[Verse 1]



Love like yours will surely come my way.

Love like yours will surely come my way.



Every day, every day, every day...



(Words of love you whisper soft and true.

Darling, I love you.)



(Listen to me to what I say.

Our hearts can be nearer each day

Hold me darling, please listen to me.)

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - A Foggy Day

I was a stranger in the city

Out of town were the people I knew

I had that feeling of self-pity

What to do, what to do, what to do

The outlook was decidedly blue



But as I walked through the foggy streets alone

It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known



A foggy day, in London town

Had me low, had me down

I viewed the morning, with much alarm

British Museum, had lost its charm



How long I wondered,

Could this thing last

But the age of miracles, hadn't past

For suddenly, I saw you there

And through foggy London town,

The sun was shining everywhere



For suddenly, I saw you there

And through foggy London town,

The sun was shining everywhere



Everywhere

Everywhere

Everywhere

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Saturday Night In Toledo, Ohio

(Sparks)



Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all.

All through the day how the hours rush by, you sit in the park and you watch the grass die.



Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight, when shadows of night start to fall.

They roll back the sidewalk precisely at ten and people who live there are not seen again.



Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana and a salesman from places unknown

all huddled together in downtown, Toledo to spend their big night all alone.



You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio? Well I spent a week there one day.

They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes: go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise.



Ah, but let's not forget that the folks of Toledo unselfishly gave us the scale.

No springs, honest weight, that's the promise they made,

so smile and be thankful next time you get weighed.



And "wive and wet wive", let this be our motto, let's let the sleeping dogs lie.

And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio, ladies, we bid you goodbye.

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Time Fades Away

Fourteen junkies

too weak to work

One sells diamonds

for what they're worth

Down on pain street,

disappointment lurks

Son, don't be home too late.

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait

till the break of day

'Cause you know

how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



All day presidents

look out windows

All night sentries

watch the moonglow

All are waiting till

the time is right

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait

till the break of day

'Cause you know

how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Back in Canada I spent my days

Riding subways through a haze

I was handcuffed,

I was born & raised

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait

till the break of day

'Cause you know

how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Thirteen junkies

too weak to work

One sells diamonds

for what they're worth

Down on pain street

disappointment lurks.

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight, eight

Son, don't wait

till the break of day

'Cause you know

how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Time fades away

You know how time fades away

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - You Left Me In The Dark

See how the elements obey?

Eyes are blue

Skies are grey

Nothing I do can make you stay

I'm glad it will rain today



You left me standing alone

Although I thought that we could not be parted

But if I'd only known

That this would be the last loving remark

You left me in the dark



Then I awoke to my dismay

I thought we'd make it all the way

Allowing myself one more cliche

The last hurrah, the first bouquet



You left me standing alone although

I thought that we could not be parted

But if I'd only known

That this would be the last loving remark

You left me in the dark

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Shameless

(Hello! Darling! Mmm...

How dare you! Do you know who I am?

You look fabulous!)



I know what you think

It's clear as mud in your eyes

We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes

you've obviously come to despise

But you don't know nothing

You're not hot enough to matter

You don't understand the glamourous life

a dream that no one can shatter



We're shameless, we will do anything

to get our fifteen minutes of fame

We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl

To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all



I'm ambitious

Believe me, I'm going to be big

I'm a slave to glamour

applause and clamour

my make-up, my wardrobe, my wigs

Don't call me pathetic

I'm harder than you'll ever guess

relentlessly tough

'cause when the going gets rough

the tough get their pictures in the press



We're shameless, we will do anything

to get our fifteen minutes of fame

We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl

To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all



Anything, anything, anything at all

We'll do anything, anything, anything at all



(How dare you! Do you know who I am?

It's an absolute disgrace!)



Tell me you love me

Admit it, you're really impressed

Would it not amuse you

for me to seduce you?

Have you ever seen me undressed?



We're shameless, we will do anything

to get our fifteen minutes of fame

We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl

To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all



We're shameless, we will do anything

to get our fifteen minutes of fame

We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl

To obtain celebrity we'll do anything with anyone

go absolutely anywhere for anything at all



(I'm terribly sorry!)

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Juke Box Fury

Polly and I went to the circus

Polly got hit with a rolling pin

We got even with the circus

We bought tickets but we didn't go in...



You won't like it here

When I first take you,

He's in the back doing his Father O'Riley for the cops.

But you'll like Woody

(He's hiding in the shed)

And we're going with him

I told my brother...

When the Police come

Don't say nothing

Don't say nothing

And the Police will go



Cuz they don't like it

When you beat them to the punch,

They don't like it

When you come in on a hunch.

And I've seen more dreams

Riding on his eyes,

Than a sure thing like

The Starry Skies,

And you'll like it when you find out what he's got

In the backyard,

By the parking lot.



Hey Baby, you're my favorite boy,

I think about you all the time.

And this garbage that you still employ,

Do they really pay for every line?



For the Juke Box Fury

Pounding in your soul,

Juke Box Fury tells them where to go,

Juke Box Fury pounding in your head,

Juke Box Fury every vvord we said when

We were younger

And they hurt us so,

But you never know...



You got a Juke Box.

You can make it even.



Look, I don't like it here.

This is trouble.

That guy keeps gettin'up.

That girl keeps goin'over to the phone

I'm going to talk to them

(You just watch me)

I'm going to tell them;

"I think you two look like you're ready to go.."

Put your foot right here.

D'you get it down all right, dear?

Well, put your foot right here...



Here, baby,

You're the one for me.

This must be Paradise.

She's never where you think she'll be,

But don't worry about it



Cuz the Juke Box Fury's

Pounding in your soul

Juke Box Fury knows where to go

Juke Box Fury pounding in vour head

Juke Box Fury every word we said

When we vvere younger

And they hurt us so

But you never knovv...



You don't knovv vvhat you've got,

You can make it even!

You got a Juke Box!

You can make it even...



Like this:

Doodootin-doodootin-Doo.



Hev Danny! Wait for me!

Hey! Danny?

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Take It In Your Stride

[Verse:]

Hey, there, you

You're on the top shelf

Your skies are blue

Pleased with yourself

Well, don't you get too cocky

The road is rocky

A-way up there

Life is sweet

Rosy and round

But keep your feet

Close to the ground

The weather won't be always fair



[Refrain:]

There'll be ups and there'll be downs

There'll be smiles and there'll be frowns

There'll be hopes and there'll be doubts, ins and outs

But whatever the fates decide

Take it in your stride



There'll be rain and there'll be sun

You'll have all and you'll have none

Hitch your wagon to a star, travel far

But you're in for a bumpy ride

Take it in your stride



There'll be friends both new and old

They'll blow hot and they'll blow cold

You'll be cheered and you'll be hissed, kicked and kissed

But whatever the fates decide

Take it in your stride



Don't get too big for your crown

What goes up may soon come down

Someone's waiting down below, set to go

Coming in on the rising tide

Take it in your stride

THE STEVE MILLER BAND lyrics - Mary Lou

(Y. Jessie and S. Ling)



I'm gonna tell you a story

'Bout ol' Mary Lou

I mean the kind of a girl

That make a fool of you



She make a young man old

And an old man pay

The way she took my money

Was a crying shame



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



Put a detective

On her trail

The post office thought

They'd chase her by the mail



She got picked up

And then was put in jail

Stroked the judge

Just to go her bail



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



She left Detroit

To go to Kalamazoo

Made her a fortune

Out of fools like you



Met her a rich man

Who was married and had some kids

Stroked that cat

Until he flipped his lid



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



She came back into town

About a week ago

Told me she's sorry

She had hurt me so



I had a '65 Ford

And a two dollar bill

The way she took that

Lord, it gave me a thrill



Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar

MEN AT WORK lyrics - I Can See It In Your Eyes

By your leave, I think that I'll be going now

I think I've stayed a little long

I looked up all my mother's recipes

I can't think what I did wrong



We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine

You say it's love you want, but there is no time

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

You keep staring at the floor



I used to look at your school photographs

But I don't have them anymore

I wonder who's in my old college rooms

Or stuck on my old locker door



I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night

I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

I've only got myself to blame



Winter kisses when your lips were blue

Like chasing wild geese in the snow

Pressing faces on the window panes

But that's a long long time ago



We go to a restaurant

You say it's love you want

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

You're moving on to something more

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Don't I Know It

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

How you don't love me girl

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

How you don't want me girl



I was wrong to have took for granted

All the love you have given me

Should have tried even that bit harder

Now I'm made to suffer and as you can see



Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

How you don't want me girl

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

How you don't love me girl

Like to think that it doesn't matter

Love to feel that I just don't care

But the truth after all that's happened

I can't live without you and when you're not there

Don't I know it

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it



You could say that I had my chances

And that I let them slip away

You could argue it's not all my fault

Still I got it wrong and at the end of the day

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

Don't I know it don't I know it

Don't I know it

DOLLY PARTON, LORETTA LYNN, TAMMY WYNETTE lyrics - Sittin' On The Front Porch Swing

I remember a time when the bloom was on the cotton

When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing

When our cares which were already few were soon forgotten

Just sittin' on the front porch swing

Oh we'd sit every Sunday, and watch the married ladies

And we'd dream of white dresses and church bells in the spring

And they'd talk and paint their nails while they'd let us hold their babies

Sittin' on the front porch swing



Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies?

Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring?

Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their babies?

Sittin' on the front porch swing



When the mind longs to follow but the memory erases

And the lips form the words but the heart no longer sings

When the leaves in the hollow have been dyed to match our faces

Sittin' on the front porch swing



Oh we'll dream of the time when the bloom was on the cotton

When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing

But the words to the rhyme are not the only thing forgotten

Sittin' on the front porch swing

Sittin' on the front porch swing

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Nothing Like You've Ever Known

Nothing like you've ever known

That's the life I thought that I was gonna show you

Lonely girls believe such things

That's one happy ever after that I owe you

Married man always looking at

You watch

I wanted to spend more time than twelve till two

Loving you

And nothing like it should have been

Every time I think it's gonna be the last time

Each time I expect to much

Being wrong can get to be a painful pastime



Something new that is all it was

You know

But when you need someone any love will do

Sad but true

And nothing like we've ever known

That is how I thought all our tomorrows would be

I thought we were all we'd need

Goes to show you just how wrong two people could be

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - All There Is Of Me

She's in a hotel where she won't tell

And it's damn well killin' me

If I could find her, I'd be kinder

I'd stand behind her like she used to do for me

My friends say get a grip

But she's just about all there really is of me



She used to hold me, she even told me

I was the only love she'd ever need

And I believed her, then I deceived her

Now I need her much more than she needs me

And it's so hard to admit it

But she's just about all there really is of me



You know it hit me so strong, knowin' she's gone

Just how wrong I've been so long

But I think she'd be amazed

At all the ways I've changed

One more last chance is all I really need



She's out there somewhere, Lord only knows where

And the despair is taking hold of me

If you should see her, and she seems bitter

Please plead with her in defense of me

I've got to get her back

Cause she's just about all there really is of me

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - This Town

(L. Hazlewood)



[Recorded July 24, 1967, Hollywood]



This town is a lonely town

Not the only town like-a this town

This town is a make-you town

Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town



This town is a quiet town

Or a riot town like this town

This town is a love-you town

And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town



[instrumental]



This town is an all-right town

For an uptight town like-a this town

This town, it's a use-you town

An abuse-you town until-you're-down town



This town is a losin' town

It's a miserable town

It's a nowhere town

And I am leavin' this town

You better believe that I'm leavin' this town

Man, it could never be uptown

It's bound to be downtown



[Fade]



This town, bye-bye

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - The Dreamers

Black eyed ravens

They spiral down

They tilt his head back

To the flame filled sunset

Rise their guns high

As the darken falls

These are the days, boys



Shallow man

Shallow man

Eats in the doorways

With his head inclined

And he's always in decline

No one heals anymore

So he shrinks as they ride

Under vermillion sky



So it goes

Just a searcher

Lonely soul

The last of the dreamers



Shallow man

Shallow man

Speaks to the shadows

Moves his trembling hands

And he's always a little late

For the dawning of the day



So it goes

Just a searcher

Lonely soul

The last of the dreamers



[CHORUS]

STATUS QUO lyrics - Something 'Bout You Baby I Like

(Supa)



I see you every day walking down the avenue

I'd like to get to know you but all I do is smile at you.

Oh baby, when it comes to talking my tongue gets so tight

This sidewalk love affair has got me high as a kite

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like



Well I'm a slow walker but girl I'd race a mile for you

Just to get back in time for my peek-a-boo rendezvous

Well baby maybe it's the way you wear your blue jeans so tight

I can't put my finger on what you're doing right

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like



Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like



Well I'm standing on a corner smiling by a telephone

I'd like to check you over, get to know you with a fine tooth comb

Oh baby, when I get home I turn out the light

And then you come a strolling through my dreams every night

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

PATTI LABELLE lyrics - Ain't No Way

[Originally by Aretha Franklin]



Ain't no way

For me to love you

If you won't let me



It ain't no way

For me to give you all you need

If you won't let me

Give all of me



I know that a woman's duty

Is to have and love a man

And that's the way it was planned



Oh but how can i, how can i, how can i

Give you all the things I can

If your tying up both of my hands

Oh ain't no, ain't no way (ain't no way)



It ain't no way no, no, no (ain't no way)

Sho' ain't no way (ain't no way)

It ain't no way (ain't no way)



It ain't no way for me to love you

If you won't let me



So, stop trying to be

Someone your not



Hard, cold and cruel is a man

Who paid to much for what he's got



And if you need me

Won't you say, say you do

Because if you need me

Don't you know I need you



Ain't no way

For me to love you

If you won't let me

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - O, Do Not Forsake Me

O, do not forsake me, my indolent friends

O, do not forsake me though you know I must spend

All my darkest hours talking like this

For I am one thousand years old



One thousand years old

Sure, you think that's old

One thousand years old

But what do you know?

In my darkest hour I'm talking like this

For I am one thousand years old



Oh, some have forgotten the flower of speech

And walks through the garden where I go to defend

Misbegotten notions while talking like this

For I am one thousand years old



One thousand years old

Sure, I'd say that's old

One thousand years old

But what do I know?

In your darkest hour, my indolent friends

We'll be one thousand years old

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Friends

Now you got to have friends

You know the fellings all so strong

To make that day last long

I have me some friends but now there gone

Somethink came and took them away

Hey well I'll stand right here at the end of the road

And I'm wateing for my new friends to come

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Heroes Don't Cry

(Music: Rudolf Schenker / Lyrics: Klaus Meine)



Heroes don't cry

Heroes don't cry



Standing here in front of you

A wave of joy and sadness fills the room

Your soul has crashed into a wall

Your world just broke to pieces after all



The days of your life

Leave the world standing outside

But you find the strength for a smile

Because heroes like you wouldn't cry



Heroes don't cry

Heroes don't cry



The judge decided it's your right

To wake up from the dream of your life

The curtain is about to fall

No need for words, your eyes just say it all



The days of your life

Leave the world standing outside

You find the strength for a smile

Because heroes like you wouldn't cry



Heroes don't cry



There are days of your life

Leave the world standing outside

You find the strength for a smile

Because heroes like you wouldn't cry



Heroes don't cry



I can't forget that afternoon



So many times I've been thinking of you

I'm happy that you've decided to live

And what touches me most is what you said

Heaven can wait, can wait, can wait...

MARILLION lyrics - Grendel

(Dick/Jelliman/Kelly/Minnett/Pointer/Rothery/Trewavas)



I. Heorot's Plea And Grendel's Awakening



Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk

Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks

They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight

The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night



Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes



Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea

Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviour born of dreams

They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame

They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name



Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes



As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere

Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear

He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify

His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky



Earth rim walker seeks his meals

Prepare the funeral pyres

The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear

Within their eyes, their eyes





II. Grendel's Journey



Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew

Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through

Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream

An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams

The shaper's lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp

Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart





III. Lurker At The Threshold



Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell

Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell

Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife

Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries



Screams are his music, lightning his guide

Raping the darkness, death by his side



Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams

Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene

Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe

Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know



Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave

Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave



So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out

You should have known better after all this time

You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander

With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes

Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame

God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame

I'm gonna take no blame, I'm gonna take no blame



So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws

You lust for gold with your sharpened knives

Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot

You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods



Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand

You call for justice and distort the truth

Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches

Receive your punishment, Expose your throats to my righteous claws

And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow.
