CAMEL lyrics - Rose Of Sharon
Love, are you awake or are you sleeping?
I'm so excited I could die...
starting out our lives.
Must make some plans for the future
now we need to settle down...
make a home our own.
What we gonna do when the baby comes?
It won't be long.
Love, am I awake or am I dreaming?
I'm so excited I could cry.
At times I'm so afraid.
Say you'll get a job
and never leave us...
Though I know you'll make it right,
Find a better life.
What we gonna do when the baby comes?
It won't be long.
Don't you ever go,
say you'll never leave
Promise you won't ever leave.
Don't leave me,
We need you.
Rose
I will try to settle down but
I can't tell the future
Rose
I will try to stay around but
I don't know the future
Oh Rose,
you'll never know,
just how much I need
you so.
Oh Rose, you'll never see
Just how much you mean
to me
But Rose,
This road is so hard and long
and I just can't say.
GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Love Of My Life
You are the love of my life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you
You are the love of my life
The heart and sould of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home
You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And leave me room to be free
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of
You are the love of my life
The one thing that makes sense in this world
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you
You are the love of my life
And I thank god I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
You are the love of my life

PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Milwaukee Here I Come
(Lee Fikes)
I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide
Which one you want the most, them Opery stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee
Milwaukee's where we were before we came here
Working in a brewery, making the finest beer
She came to me on a payday night, said
"Let's go to Tennessee," so we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opery
We turned on the TV, Porter Wagoner was singing loud
I said that's the man for me, I love him, there's no doubt
I'm leaving now see if I can find out where he's at
And if I can't find him, I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt
I'm going now and trade my old Ford for an Olds
I might get all drunked up and trade it for a Rolls
But there's one thing I know for sure, I'll always be blue
There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop loving you
KISS lyrics - Turn On The Night
Everyone's thinkin' they're so hot tonite,
but there's a fire in your eyes
Everybody wants you girl,
but I want you more than any other guy
You got what I want, I got what you need, fire below
So if you know it, show it, don't let me go, whooah
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah,
I wanna feel this feeling get stronger
Take me in your arms, I'll take you into my heart
Let's bring this love to life
C'mon baby put your finger on the switch,
let's make some sparks ignite
Show me what you want, show me what you need, fire below
C'mon and take me, shake me, don't let me go, whooah
Chorus:
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah,
I wanna feel this feeling get stronger
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah,
you know this feeling keeps getting stronger
Hey babe - you got what I want,
I got what you need, fire below
So if you know it, show it, don't let me go, whooah
chorus
(repeats out)
A-HA lyrics - There's Never A Forever Thing
Dearest...
Close your eyes now
Don't you cry
It's all right
Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear
I'll be here through the night
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight
It's all right now
Don't you cry now
Hush...
Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever thing
All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there somehow
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come
Tonight
Darling, don't you
Cry.
THE BANGLES lyrics - In Your Room
I love it in your room at night
You're the only one who gets through to me
In the warm glow of the candlelight
Oh, I wonder what you're gonna do to me.
(In your room)
I come alive when I'm with you
I'll do anything you want me to
In your room.
I love it in your room all day
When you're gone I like to try on all your clothes
You won't regret it if you let me stay
I'll teach you everything that a boy should know.
(In your room)
I'm alive when I'm with you
Gonna make your dreams come true
In your room.
I feel good in your room
Let's lock the world out
Feels so good when we kiss
Nobody ever made me crazy like this.
I love it in your room at night
You're the only one who gets through to me
In the warm glow of the candlelight
Oh, I wonder what you're gonna do to me.
(In your room)
I'll do anything you want me to
Only wanna be with you
In your room, in your room.
I feel good in your room
Let's lock the world out
Feels so good when we kiss
Nobody ever made me crazy like this.
In your room, in your room.
(In your room...in your room)
(In your room...in your room)
(In your room).

TERESA BREWER lyrics - A Tear Fell
(Dorian Burton and Eugene Randolph)
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
A tear fell when I saw you
In the arms of someone new
A tear fell when you left me
All alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me
That your love was not for me
I didn't miss the teardrops
But I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
The teardrops that you stepped on
As you danced across the floor
Were crushed like my poor heart was
When you walked out of my door
A tear fell when you told me
That the flame in your heart died
Darlin', have I lost you
Like these teardrops from my eyes
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
[Instrumental Interlude]
A tear fell when you told me
That your love was not for me
I didn't miss the teardrops
But I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Speechless
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
But I am speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
When I'm with you I am lost for words, I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless, that's how I feel inside
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side
When I'm with you I am in the light where I cannot be found
It's as though I am standing in the place called Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
I'll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I cannot climb
I'm humbled in your grace
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away, and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
SpeechlessYour love is magical, that's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like, "I love you."
LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Once Is Enough
(Lyle Lovett)
I used to be so much more open minded
And I used to like to fall in love
And they tell me I was so much sweeter and kinder
But once is enough
Yeah I used to be Mr. Understanding
I used to could listen and not interrupt
But now I'm a different man than that man then
'Cause once is enough
And once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough
And yeah I used to be able to handle rejection
I used to be so long lean and tough
And I used to would fight for a woman's affection
But once is enough
Once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough
So baby you don't have to tell me two times
You can save your sweet breath because
I saw the way you looked away from my eyes
And once is enough
But a man can't help can't help but learn his lesson
But a man he can't help the stars above
And a man can't help but go around messing
With once is enough
Once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough too feel your heart beat
Once is enough
So if you see me down by the byway
Won't you tell me you'll do this much
Take your head just one time and turn it my way
'Cause once is enough
And once is enough for anybody
Once is enough to fall in love
Once is enough to feel your heart beat
Once is enough
LOU REED lyrics - The Bed
This is the place where she lay her head
When she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
Candles lit the room brightly at night
And this is the place where she cut her wrists
That odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
This is the place where we used to live
I paid for it with love and blood
And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf
Filled with her poetry and stuff
And this is the room where she took the razor
And cut her wrists that strange and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
I never would have started if I'd known
That it's end this way
But funny thing, I'm not at all sad
That it stopped this way
This is the place where she lay her head
When she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
Candles lit the room brightly at night
And this is the place where she cut her wrists
That odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Never Enough
(John Farrar/Pat Farrar)
Twelve hours a day ain't such a long time
It's only a means to an end
He thinks that his pay will buy her devotion
But he's only payin' for her to pretend
What more can he do but give her his heart
Wrapped up in a love so sincere
Lookin' around at all that they have
It seems clear
That it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?
She ran out of time for people who loved her
Their love couldn't get her nowhere
Isn't it sad she started collecting
Friends who are strangers but she doesn't care
Surrounding herself with phonies and fools
Who tell her what she wants to hear
Looking around at all that they have it seems clear
That it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?
Why must we want so much more than we have?
Will we never be satisfied?
Just look around
How can we feel so denied?
But it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No, it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?
Enough
[Repeats]
STATUS QUO lyrics - Over The Edge
(Lancaster / Lamb)
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought I was cold but
I've been really feeling the heat
You're turning me on
You're driving me crazy
My temperature's rising
When I'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
If you told me a hundred and two
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
And I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, Im falling' I'm falling
I've never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
Taking me higher and higher
Right to the top
Don't let it stop
You're driving me crazy
You gotta believe me
'cos I never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again
And again
Turning me on
Driving me crazy
And I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, Im falling' I'm falling
And like I said before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
Over the edge, I'm falling
Over the edge, I'm falling
Never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought I was cold but
I'm a-feeling the heat
My temperature's rising
When I'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
It's a-hundred-and-two
You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
It's taking me higher
Right to the top
You gotta believe me
'cos I never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
Shaking all over
PRINCE lyrics - Sister
I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely, and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She says it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stoppin' the juice
My sister never made love to anyone else but me
She's the reason for my, uh, sexuality
She showed me where it's supposed to go
A blow job doesn't mean blow
Incest is everything it's said to be
Oh, sister
Don't put me on the street again
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted to turn me out
She [took a whip to] me until I shout
"Oh, [motherfuckersjustamotherfucker]
Can't you understand?"
Oh, sister
Don't put me on the street again
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
I know what you want me to do
Put me on the street
And make me blue
Oh, sister, oohoohoooow
BRIAN ENO lyrics - Spinning Away
Up on a hill, as the day dissolves
With my pencil turning moments into line
High above in the violet sky
A silent silver plane - it draws a golden chain
One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form
On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I've drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time
And now as the pale moon rides (in the stars)
Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)
And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)
There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)
And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)
JOHN HIATT lyrics - Go Down Swingin'
Kickin' and a-screamin'
Only way I learn
I'm afraid of my own shadow
Not the bridge around the turn
Well I lost myself and found myself
While you were kissin' ass
And I know it's not your nature
Just to let me pass
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Singin' till the end
I'm gonna go down swingin'
You and me and your best friend
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Upper cut and two left jabs
I'm gonna go down swingin' with everything I have
Sometimes I am a predator
Prowlin' for my life
Other times I am a field mouse
Running for the sides
Of the biggest, flattest corn field
Bigger than my Indiana home
'Til the harvest comes along
And I leave my tiny bones
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Singin' till the end
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Like the Duke recommends
I'm gonna go down swingin'
For the bleachers in left field
I'm gonna go down swingin' like a blade of steel
There's a scarecrow scarin' nothin'
Trumpet player in the barn
And he's puffin' both his cheeks out
And he's liftin' both his arms
As he blows his notes to heaven
As the preacher dunks you in
And all along the river
The air is sweet as sin
I wanna go down singin'
Hallelujah Gabriel
I wanna go down singin'
Oh, you play the blues so well
I wanna go down swingin'
Three sheets to the wind
I wanna go down swingin', punch drunk to the end

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I'm Down In Honolulu Looking Them Over
[1st verse:]
You know my Uncle Jeremiah
Who disappeared a month ago
We got a letter from Hawaii
And I declare, my uncle's there
The atmosphere set him on fire
It simply went right to his head
What do you think he wrote
In his little note?
This is what he said
[Refrain:]
I'm down in Honolulu looking them over
I'm down in Honolulu living in clover
Try and guess the way they dress
No matter what you think it is, it's even less
Their language is hard to understand because it's so tricky
I've got them teaching me to say "wicky wicky"
I don't know what it means but it's the best that ever was
And if it means just what I think it does
I'll be in Honolulu looking them over for a long, long time
[2nd verse:]
My brother said "It's very nifty
Our Uncle's got the right idea"
Although my brother's very thrifty
He sent a wire to Jeremiah
He said "I'll go you fifty fifty
With ev'ry Hula girl you see"
My brother nearly died
Uncle just replied
Please don't bother me
SPARKS lyrics - Pineapple
(Ron Mael)
Tropical air helps us harvest all year
And serves to promote the vitamin C content
In turn yielding greater demand
Pineapple: Got to send a case to the city jail
The warden likes it because it won't conceal
Any sort of handmade weapons
That are baked right into their buns
And the taste is delectable
But won't the prisoners hit the table and shout
Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide
Got a contract for all of the schools
They will use it for all of their meals
Sure, the kids will throw it real far
'Cause it ain't a milk chocolate bar
But you know it don't stain so bad
But won't the fling it at a friend and then shout
Pineapple: tastes too healthy to me
Pineapple: it's filled with vitamin C
Pineapple: fulfills every need
Pineapple: to all the ships at sea
Pineapple: for the English at tea
Pineapple: to the Siamese twins
Pineapple: to heal those who have sinned
Ship some to the Alpine skiing team
The coach won't have to worry 'bout the calories
Sure it ain't strudel (they're nice)
But it helps your balance on ice
Puts you back on the winning trail
But don't the players moan and groan and then shout:
Pineapple: we get it every old night
Pineapple: but we're winning all right
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: upward trends are forseen
Pineapple: so invest in Big P
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: and the tins can be used
Pineapple: for anything that you choose
Pineapple, pineapple
We'll jet you there, breathe the Hawaiian air
Where hula is life, and luaus are for the wife
So visit our factory soon
ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Blessing In Disguise
Every drop of water
descending like a pearl
lays upon the silken skin
of this perfect girl
The breeze around her body
moved upwards to her face
it held on like a baby
that found its resting place
Voices from the night before
cannot be denied
suddenly revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her fears subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise
She was the faintest flower
washed in by the tide
sending silent messages
to the world outside
Her face began to soften
her lips took on a smile
the people who had loved her
came rushing to her side
Voices from the night before
cannot be disguised
suddenly revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her fears subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise
MEGADETH lyrics - Almost Honest
(Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman)
I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost
Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning and I still see your face
I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you've gone away
You were almost honest, almost
Living alone, falling from grace
I want to atone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks
I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happend that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest

DOLLY PARTON, LINDA RONSTADT, EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Those Memories Of You
(Alan O'Bryant)
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down
In dreams of you my body trembles
I wake up and call your name
But you're not there, and I'm so lonesome
Without your love I'd go insane
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down
I close my eyes and you're there with me
Your kiss I feel, your face I see
It's not your lips now that drive me crazy
It's just your haunting memory
Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down
Until the day they lay me down
10CC lyrics - Runaway
Remember I'm the one who didn't have a lot to say
I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away
And I can't forget your face, y'know it haunts me all the time
And it seems to me you're living in a dream
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
I want to tell you what I'm thinking, but the words get in the way
When I'm sitting here alone I find the things I meant to say
If I wrote them in a letter, would you read between the lines
Would you understand how much I really care
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
[I] I love you
[Need] I need you
[You] Don't want to live without you
If I'm backward counting forward, would you help me realize
All the answers to the questions I've been asking with my eyes
I could hand you all the cliches, but you've heard them all before
And I want to say I love you in my own way
And could we run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
Runaway, runaway, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, I love you, I need you
What I want to say is, I want you
You're a, I love you, part of me, I need you
Let me be a part of you

BONEY M lyrics - I Feel Good
What a beautiful morning
Just to wake up beside you
Is something I've missed for so long
I'm so glad that you came back home
Baby let me tell you
How my days slipped away
And how I was afraid of the night
But now I'm alright
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part
Our love is grown stronger
More than any temptation
In this world could possibly be
There's no doubt 'cause it's plain to see
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me...

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Wrong Direction Home
(Dolly Parton)
In a shingle covered cottage at the foothills of blue stacks
Near a mountain stream that's flowing crystal clear
Where the humming birds and honey bees feed on Mama's roses
My mem'ries just grow sweeter with the years
Mem'ries of my childhood are as sweet as mountain honey
And as fresh as a dew on morning glory vines
I grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature
And they're forever present in my mind
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
There's no place like home
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Teardrops mingled with the summer rain that was a falling
The day I left my mountain home behind
With a suitcase in my hand and a hope in my heart
I was following a dream I had to find
In that shingled covered cottage at the foothills of the smokies
Waits a family hat I'm longing to see
And mountain streams and fields of green
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
But I'm many, many miles from Tennessee
And still headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
But maybe I'll get back before too long
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - It's All Good
I am an angry man yeah, I vent it when I can, yeah
On the bag, not the skag
The negativity, yeah, pushed onto young paddy, yeah
Is a shame, whose to blame?
And when the baby cries, yeah, she has been criticised, yeah
Been put down, it's passed down
[Chorus:]
But it's all good, it's all good
All I say to you today
It's all good, sure it's all good
All I say to you today
And positivity, yeah, it is the way for me, yeah
It is truth, it is youth
They try to keep us down, yeah
They hide the high kings crown, yeah
From the Gaels, Kathleen wails
And to survive their sting, yeah
You have to be the king, yeah
Grasp the wealth of yourself
[Chorus]
Love yourself today, ok, ok
Love yourself today, ok, ok
LOS LOBOS lyrics - It'll Never Be Over For Me
(Bobrick/Blagman)
I know you've come
To tell me that it's over
Oh, oh, well, all right
I'll let you go free
But, baby
Thought it may be over for you
It'll never be over for me
Made up my mind
Not to start crying, oh, oh
But there's more
Than the eye can see
'Cause, baby, inside
My heart is breaking apart
'Cause it'll never be over for me
I'll know every time
I look up at a star, yeah, yeah

And feel so blue
If ever you find

That my heart beats
Just come on back
Oh, forget about everything, yes
'Cause it may be
May be over for you, yeah
But it'll never be over for me, oh, no

B. B. KING lyrics - Three O'Clock In The Morning
(B. B. King / Jules Taub)
Thank you so much, we thank you
Thank you ladies and gentlemen
Right here we're going all back to the begun
All we go to the very beginnin'
Before we made this and very few people knew about, B. B. King
We go all back this time
You remind and go back one time, do you?
Sometimes you feel good go back and start all over again
Oh boy!
You show so good to me, I will tell that
That you are
Now here it is, three o'clock in the morning,
Oh can't even close my eyes
Oh yes
It's three o'clock in the morning baby,
Oh, I can't even close my eyes
Well, you know I can't find my baby,
Keep on lookin' be satisfied
I've looked around me, people,
Hey, and my baby she knows she can't be found
Looked all around me, people,
Oh, my baby, she can't be found
Well, you know if I don't find my baby,
People, I'm going down to the Golden Ground
That's where the fellows hang out down there,
They shoot pool, you know
Goodbye, everybody,
Oh, I do believe this is the end,
Oh, oh, goodbye everybody,
Oh I do believe that this is the end.
Oh I want you to tell my baby,
Oh, to forgive me for my sins
A guy feels lonely then, when you hear something like that
You can't do whatever you wanna do
Because your mind is on the person you know
You figure something you've done
You don't know what it is because she won't tell you
But every time you look at her, she just starts to crying and won't say nothing
Then you say to yourself
It's my own fault, baby,
Treat me the way you wanna do,
Oh, yes, my own fault, baby,
Treat me the way you wanna do
Because when you would love me, baby,
Oh, a good time looked down,
That wouldn't be true
I go up on my feet and I had a lot of friends,
Now bad luck has hit me people,
And now I'm down again
Oh, I wonder why?
Why does everything have to happen to me?
I'm blue and I'm lonesome, people,
My heart is filled with misery
Once I had a lotta money,
They say the greatest man until
But bad luck has hit me now,
Pain has got me down
Yes, I wonder why, people
Why does everything have to happen to me?
I say I'm blue and I'm lonesome, people,
My heart is filled with misery
SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Lost Child
Picked up by the police, only seventeen
What did he do, what did he say?
His father left him as a little boy
His mother turned tricks just to buy his toys
72 hour evaluation
Immediate psychiatric help
But Johnny wasn't crazy
He was just an angry boy
Years later, nothing much has changed
Liquor, drugs and gangs have made him a man
Living in the streets in a world of his own
He stops and watches his heart turn to stone
He's an important person now
He's running with a wayward crowd
But Johnny wasn't crazy
He was just a lonely boy
The pain got too great, an eventual suicide
Fear and anger were trapped deep inside
If only Johnny could have opened up his heart
Then me and Johnny wouldn't never had to part
He's tired of running the vicious circle
He loaded and cocked his.45
But Johnny wasn't crazy
He was just a frightened boy
Oh,
How many Johnnys must there be?
Oh Johnny
How I wish you were here

AEROSMITH lyrics - Jaded
Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me and serrated
My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
Hey j-j-jaded
In all it's misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm thinkin about you
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you
Your thinking's so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hated
Wouldn't trade it
Love me jaded
Hey j-j-jaded
There ain't no baby please
When I'm shootin the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ectasy's what you prefer

My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
Baby
Jaded
Baby
You're so jaded
'Cause I'm the one that jaded you

ELTON JOHN lyrics - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
BRENDA LEE lyrics - Proud Mary
(J. C. Fogerty)
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man both night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleep
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel, keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
I said I pumped a lot of tan in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
I said you know that I'm rolling, rolling
You know that I'm rolling' on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
If you come down to the city
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to live if you ain't got no money
People on the river that know how to give
You know I said that I'm rolling, rolling
I'm rolling on the river
I gotta keep on turning, burning, rolling down the river...

TOM JONES lyrics - What Good Am I?
(Bob Dylan)
What good am I some like all the rest
If I just turn away when I see how you're dressed
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
What good am I?
What good am I if I know and don't do
If I see and don't say if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky
What good am I?
What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try
What good am I?
What good am I then to others and me
If I had every chance and yet still fail to see
If my hands are tied must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why and where must I have been.
What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back while you silently die
What good am I?
QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Jersey
["New Jersey Drive" soundtrack]
[Queen Latifah]
Yo what's up this is Queen Latifah in the house
Definetely representin Jersey on the love love
Coolin' in the county; shoot (???)
But damn I miss home
[Chorus 4x:]
I can't.. forget New Jersey
[Verse 1: Queen Latifah]
When I think of home I think of a place where theres no over-flowin
And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin
Mommy and daddy made me proud to in Owens
So for me to keep goin, I would become
Her eminental royal highness
The Queen Latifah; no doubt; one of New Jersey's finest
So, said it all
Get up on all of my own
Cause Jersey's what I think about when I think of home
Don't let know one get close to you except the chosen
Stick with the ones who meant the most to you
When you were broke and blue, that's how fam do
That's how you stay true around these snakes
That freakin' smile when they hate you
I'm quick to take the ride down for in-town
(Just another day living on a down)
My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit
It's mad truth to the room where we the shit; I can't forget
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Queen Latifah]
I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders
I used to take the path to Latin Quarters across the waters
Where I learned to do the Who, yo, I couldn't stop
I brought it back around the way to show the peple on my block
Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
It looks so simple like that there's nothin to it
So, we meet at Irvan's (???) and after school I run
To the wall of Brookmore boots, there was Solamon
I had a talent for getting up for gear
A petty thief, small time crook of the year
But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal
And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to put our voices on a reel
And I could hear myself on the radio
"45 King Special Red Alert Show"
Cause that's what life was all about to me
All E-E flavor you did it, represent Jersey
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Queen Latifah]
I think about my mom and my brothers when I'm all swoll
Shock, Kim, when I'm all swoll
My baby sister. when I'm all swoll
Hostan, when I'm all swoll
Ill-Town, when I all swoll
Jill-Town, J. C, when I'm all swoll
(???) to (???) so on, when I'm all swoll
Recognize the whole mama soul
We got Naughty
In another words we got Nicky
We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney (???)
Bruce Springsteen, and a house ah blacks
Shaquille O'Neal, oh he'll catch rack
Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett
Back spin, or spin it,
Thursday peppermint and I'm in it
Shag do's, I does no fo's in the spot
Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got
Nuf' respect to your burough, your block
You're black; I love to see us move as a flock
Unscrapped, against each other
No body armor
Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer
We ghetto stars and fools
We paid the dues
We made the blues
So come on with the come on
And get down with the get down
I'm down with my hometown sound
[Chorus]
RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Miami
There's a girl over there
With the rhythm everywhere
She's a very fine girl
And she's been awfully nice to me
When we walk as we sometimes do
All the way out to Collins Avenue
Well it's very, very fine
Very, very special
Very
Gee, I love Miami
It's so nice and hot
And every building's so pretty and white
And I always get into so much trouble
When I'm down here
I know these two old stiffs
Live on the Waterway
That's where I like to stay
When I'm down
In
Miami
Blue Day
Best dope in the world
And it's free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
And your Hawaiian shirt
And come down!
There's a man over there
With the conk in his hair
He's a very bad man
Don't look now
He's really very bad
And his name is Medina
And he comes from Argentina
See that little dog there with him
Well, he treats it just like it was his little boy
Oh, I love Miami
It's so hot
And the women down here
Are so impure
I love to hang around
The big hotels
And sleep in the sun all day
I know this double jointed guy
With the circus in St. Pete
He's with me now
He says hello
From Fourteenth Street
In
Miami
Blue day
Best dope in the world
And it's free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
And your Hawaiian shirt
And come down!

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Can't Let Go (Director's Cut)
Young at heart you're all confused, I know
That's the reason why you've let me go
Can't forget you, even though I tried
Cannot stop the love I feel inside
Time alone to find out where to go
That is what you needed, now I know
Back then I just never understood
Why you needed time, when things were good
[Chorus:]
I just can't let go, 'cause I need you so
Yes, I do believe in you and I
I do, yes I do, ohh it's true
I love you
You sent letters which put at ease
Lovely notes, which helped me out to breathe
Time is gonna show where you belong
I just hope, it doesn't take too long
I was never hurt like this before
All alone and constantly at war
Peaceful pain is crawling up and down
Scared if you would ever let me drown
I just can't let go, 'cause I need you so
Yes, I do believe in you and I
Never felt so right, from deep down inside
Do I have to burn, for our love to return
It's you that I need, only you
I love you
I need you to get back, baby
I need you to come back, baby
I just can't let go... ...I love you

THE KINKS lyrics - Ducks On The Wall
After dinner Norman becomes depressed.
[Star:]
Norman's office got on my nerves to-day.
[Wife:]
What do you mean? You are Norman!
[Star:]
(Shouts) I am a star!
[Wife:]
You're not a star Norman. You're
Just a plain ordinary little bloke and
Even if you walked down the street in
A silver suit people still wouldn't
Recognise you. You're dull, ordinary
And uninteresting! You're a drag!
Star rises from his chair and smashes
The dinner plates to the floor.
[Star:]
I hate this house and I hate you, but
More than anything else I hate those
Ducks!
[Wife:]
Don't you touch those ducks Norman!
They were a present from my mother.
Look, Norman, I've had enough of you
And your ridiculous fantasies. First of
All you wanted to be a painter, then
You wanted to be an astronaut, then
A footballer and now you're playing at
Being a rock singer. If you touch those
Ducks I'm leaving!
Ducks On The Wall
My baby's got the most deplorable taste,
But her biggest mistake
Is hanging over the fireplace.
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall,
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.
My lady's got a sort of strange fascination,
An obsessive fixation
For cheap decorations
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall.
Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.
Wo-wo-wo I love her so but if she doesn't move the ducks,
I think my mind is gonna go.
Ducks ducks on the wall.
Ducks ducks, hanging on the wall.
I leave the office and I want to relax.
Don't want to stare at a wall
And look at a duck that can't quack.
I love you baby but I can't fall
For those ducks on the wall.
I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.
Then out of the corner of my eye
I see those ducks in flight.
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.
Wo-wo-wo I can sit through your gossip and your soap opera shows,
But those ducks have got to go.
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.
And when I went to a cocktail party
With the bores next door,
What was the first thing that I saw?
Ducks, ducks on the wall.
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.
My baby's got the most deplorable taste,
But her biggest mistake
Is hanging over the fireplace.
She's got ducks, ducks on the wall,
Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.
I'll sit and look at all the soap operas with her
I'll play all the panel games and watch all the quiz shows,
But those ducks they've got to go,
Those ducks are getting up my nose.
If those ducks can fly, well so can I.
And if those ducks have got to stay
Then I'm going to fly away.
I love you baby but I can't ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.
Oh those ducks on the wall are beginning to move
They're talking to me
I've got to get away from those ducks.
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Secret Service
[1st refrain:]
The secret service makes me nervous
When I am dating they are waiting to observe us
When I get ready to hold steady for the kiss you plant
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't
They're always spying, no denying
They're always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eye-ing
When I'm beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't
I've been exposed beyond control
Just like a goldfish in a bowl
The President's daughter must drink water
No drink of Scotch, she might do what she hadn't oughter
When I'm ignited, so excited that I start to pant
The secret service makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit and I say "This is it!"
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't
[2nd refrain:]
The secret service makes me nervous
Those White House "dicks" get all their kicks when they observe us
Just as I wind up, make my mind up not to say "I won't"
The secret service makes me nervous and I don't
When things look rosy they get nosy
They'll say there's "tootsie" playing "footsie" very cosy
My pulse goes higher, I'm on fire, shaking at the knees
The secret service makes me nervous and I freeze
Whatever I may do or say
Will be reported the next day
They don't see clearly when I'm merely being courted
When I'm just necking, simply pecking with a "Cary Grant"
They stand behind me to remind me
Who and what I am when I don't give a damn
The secret service makes me nervous and I can't
10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Cotton Alley
(music: John Lombardo / lyrics: Natalie Merchant)
One time
You made me cry
Be proud that I
Remember
My chin is sore
The bruise is gone
But the spot is tender
Gave my hand a sister coy
To Cotton Alley where
You did enjoy
Your wicked games
You curious boy
Tied my laces up together
When I fell
You laughed
Until your belly was sore
In the brick laid aisle behind
The five and dime store
That's how
I made you blush
But doubt if you
Remember
Were my tears genuine
Or those of a skilled
Pretender
Nothing precious
Plain to see
Don't make a fuss over me
Not loud
Not soft
But somewhere in between
Say sorry
Let it be
The word you mean
I was a little pest who
Never took a hint
Could never
Take a hint
You pinched my fingers
In a door
Tossed my coloring book in a
Rusty barrel
Pulled spiders from my hair
Fingers in the door
My favorite blue blouse
Stained on the back
Running from a berry war
Can you hear me scream
In Cotton Alley
Scream in Cotton Alley
In Cotton Alley
BOB DYLAN lyrics - He Was A Friend Of Mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
JOHN DENVER lyrics - Waiting For A Train
(Rodgers)
All around the water tower, waiting for a train.
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain.
I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk,
He said if you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk.
Well, I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show.
Get off, get off, you railroad bum, and he slammed that boxcar door.
Well, he put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love.
The wide open spaces all round me, the moon and stars up above.
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand.
I'm on my way from 'Frisco, going back to Dixieland.
My pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain.
I'm a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train.
AEROSMITH lyrics - Chip Away The Stone
Well your actin' like a prima donna
Playin' so hard to get
Actin' so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' on a cigarette
You keep a wall all around ya
I'll get through some day
I want your love babe, but push don't shove
Gonna chip that stone away
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you
Well you stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer I must, I'm gonna get through your crust
Gonna chip that stone away
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you
Oooh...yes I do...
Chip away
Chip away
At the stone
Chip away
Chip away
At the stone
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
Won't stop
Chip it, I'm gonna nip it, all night long
DURAN DURAN lyrics - Missing
(LeBon, Rhodes)
And as I wander down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet the roses
In your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now i don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really there?
Stumbling out i made my way towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun broad streaming
Laughter down into your empty gaze
Where can i find out
How i want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you... calling calling calling calling
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me?
How do you really dare
THE SCORPIONS lyrics - No Limit
(Music: Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Eric Bazilian / Lyrics: Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Eric Bazilian)
What's the noise who's to blame
The Maserati comes unchained
Smell the power and energy
Come away, come away, come away
You're the rider of the wildest storm
Live your dreams before they're gone
Feel the spirit that sets you free
Come away, come away, come away
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it there's no limit
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
We gonna leave for tomorrowland
We've got the future on our hands
A piece of heaven for you and me
Come away, come away, come away
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it there's no limit
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
You gotta let it go there's no limit
We gotta take it there's no limit
You leave me hot and cold there's no limit
Reach for the sky
Higher higher
Take me higher always higher
Reach for the sky

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Marcelle Vahine
Marcelle Vahine ai'a Tahiti a wa'a
Ta mata hata Tahiti
No fatigi, fatigi mata ho
O he no a'utu nu'a hu nu
Ai'a a hulu a o'u
He a hu na'a hu nu'a ei'a na
Ha a'a mai a an tat mahu
[Repeat all]
SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Drawn To The Rhythm
When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air
And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care
[Chorus:]
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea
We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go
And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so
[Chorus]
In the still and silent dawn another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn
When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find
That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind
[Chorus]

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - Flying Dreams
Dream by night
Wish by day
Love begins this way.
Loving starts
When open hearts
Touch, and stay.
Sleep for now
Dreaming's how
Lover's lives are planned.
Future songs
And flying dreams,
Hand, in hand.
Love it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts, could soar.
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove, once more.
That love is the key....
Love is the key.
You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove.
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love.
And love it seems
Made flying dreams,
To bring you home to me....
[Instrumental section]
Love it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts, could soar.
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove, once more.
That love is the key....
Love is the key.
You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove.
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love.
Ever strong
Our future song,
To sing it must be free.
Ev'ry part
Is from the heart,
And love is still the key.
And love it seems
Made flying dreams
To bring you home
To me..
THE WHO lyrics - The Dirty Jobs
I am a man who looks after the pigs
Usually I get along okay.
I am man who reveals all he digs,
Should be more careful what I say.
I'm getting put down,
I'm getting pushed round,
I'm being beaten every day.
My life's fading,
But things are changing,
I'm not gonna sit and weep again.
I am man who drives a local bus
I take miners to work, but the pits all closed today.
It's easy to see that you are one of us.
Ain't it funny how we all seem to look the same?
We're getting put down [etc.]
My karma tells me
You've been screwed again.
If you let them do it to you
You've got yourself to blame.
It's you who feels the pain
It's you that feels ashamed.
I am a young man
I ain't done very much,
You men should remember how you used to fight.
Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams,
I'm all mixed up but I know what's right.
I'm getting put down [etc.]
HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Decoration Day
(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)
Lord, I've got a woman, she's nice lovin' in ev'ryway
Lord, I've got a woman, she's nice lovin' in ev'ryway
You know she done died an left me, I had a blues on every decoration day
So sorry to see you to leave me, I hate to see my baby get away
So sorry to see you leave me, I hate to see my baby get away
I want ya to bring me some flowers, about ev'ry decoration day
Lord, I was walkin' 'round her bedside, these was the last the words my baby had to say
Lord, walkin' 'round the bedside, these was the last words my baby had to say
She said, "Bring me some flowers, be sure, honey on ev'ry decoration day"
RICHARD LLOYD lyrics - Cortege
(Lloyd)
I followed him, in a long black car,
In a long line of cars, we headed into the stars
We never played the game, we only headed on down the line
And though he always left with her, still i knew that he was mine
But i know that i will never see him again
We never looked back, but we never looked ahead
So it hit me like a heart attack, when i found out he was...
And it was a summer day, but the leaves fell on the ground
And the children remained at play, but they did so without a sound
And i know that he will never be there again
I know the sun turns around the earth
They say otherwise, but the truth hurts
And it was a long time ago, when he ran into his mother's arms
And she held him oh so close,
And she promised he would never come to harm
But i know that she will never hold him again
I've come just to say good-bye my friend
Good-bye my friend.
BOSTON lyrics - Surrender To Me
(Sikes-Scholz-Laquidara)
I know it never came easy
Girl, you drive me out of my mind
Your fine and still kind of sleazy
Now I want to make you mine
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you now
You know you're so good at teasing
Maybe that's what I like
Sometimes you're hot when you're freezing
Don't want to let you out of my sight
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you
I don't believe you
And I really need you
(Hey) You never believe what I say
You're gonna surrender someday
Surrender to me
Surrender to me
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me all the way (yeah, yeah)
Surrender to me
You've got an attitude
A hardheaded woman that I can't refuse
Your love is kind of rude
You love me like you got nothing to lose
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you
I don't believe you
And I really need you
(Hey) You never believe what I say
You're gonna surrender someday
Surrender to me
Surrender to me
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me all the way (yeah, yeah)
Surrender to me
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me
Surrender

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Slow Down Georgie (She's Poison)
Hey there Georgie got a couple of things to say
One you're my friend, and two it's hurting me
Seeing you act this way
But my hands are tied and I can only try to talk you out of a fall
`Cause the reputation of the woman you're dating's
About as nasty as the Berlin wall
Slow down Georgie she's poison
Man you've got to watch yourself
She's gonna get in your head, she's gonna crawl in your bed
You're just a stepping stone for someone else
Slow down Georgie she's poison
She's just another divorcee
An undercover lover of a hundred
Other little fish in the sea
You better cut her loose before she gets her hooks in you
If you give her the world, and it was covered in pearls
She'd only ask for the moon
She's got you hypnotised, with her big brown eyes
And a body that could stop a clock
But if you think your face ain't gonna be replaced
Georgie boy you're in for a shock
Well it ain't my job to rain on your parade
But if the chips were down, you'd do the same for me
It's always been that way
She's got you paralysed with a pack of lies
About honour and the single girl
And if you buy that line you must be out of your mind
You must be living in another world
GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Beyond The Sea
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
[Instrumental]
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt, yeah!
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
Sailing... yeah!
WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - I Go To The Rock
Where do I go?
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to?
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on? Oh
When there is no foundation stable
I go to the rock
I know he is able, I go to the rock
[Chorus:]
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain
And the mountain he stands by me
When the Earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter I go to the rock
Where do I go, where do I go
When the storms of life are threatening
Who do I turn to when those winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation
Go to the rock, I know he is able
I go to the rock
[Repeat Chorus (2X)]
I go the rock when I need a friend
I can go to the rock
I go to the rock when I need a shelter
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
I can go
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go, I can go to the rock
I can go when I need some shelter
When I need a friend
I can go
And when the Earth around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand I can stand
When I need a friend
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock
Hey hey hey oh yeah
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Watch Closely Now
[Performed by Kris Kristofferson]
Warch closely now
Are you watching me now7
Your eyes are like fingers
They're tourhinq my body
And arousing my soul
Riding the passion arising inside me
How high, can I go?
You're comin' witfh me girl, I'm gonna show you how
When it's scary, don't look down
Watch closely now
Are you warching me now?
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder ond fasrer ond farther
Than I've ever gone
You're coming closer lady;
Don'tcha leave me now
We're gonna make it,
Don't look down
Maybe I'm takin' me too many chances
With no net at all
Maybe I'll teach you at least that you've
Got to be free when you fall
Warch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who's setting you free
From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back
Bring your last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I'm gonna need you later,
When you're not around
But I can take it, d
Don't look down
Watch closely now...
Are you watching me now?
DEF LEPPARD lyrics - No No No
Oh yeah
She was a foxy rocker, a roxy roller
An unchained sex machine
Yeah
Slippin' slidin', electric glidin'
And boy she was mean, I said mean
High class dealer, sippin' her tequila
Comin' on pretty strong
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer
She said go but I said no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
Waiting at the back door
Couldn't take it anymore
Didn't know where she'd been
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat
And only seventeen, seventeen
Windin' her up, bringin' her down
She wanted it just the same
Said stick around, that's when I found
I only had myself to blame
I kept saying no, no no no no no
I kept saying no, no no no no no
High class dealer, sippin' on tequila
Comin' on really strong
Rhythm stealer, rattle off squealer
She said go but I said no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no
I say no no no
I say no no no
I say no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Walking In My Shoes
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
BOB MARLEY lyrics - So Much Things To Say
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ooh yeah, yeah!
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
Eh! But I'll never forget no way: they crucified Je-sus Christ;
I'll never forget no way: they stole Marcus Garvey for rights.
Oo-ooh!
I'll never forget no way: they turned their back on Paul Bogle.
Hey-ey!
So don't you forget (no way) your youth,
who you are and where you stand in the struggle.
They go so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very,
so very, so very, so very, so very, so very -
everything they say - so much to say.
They got so much things to say, so much things to say.
I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places.
So while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, true they have found me guilty,
But through - through Jah proved my innocency.
Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now,
It don't fall on one man's housetop. Remember that:
When the rain fall,
It don't fall on one man's housetop.
They singin': so very much, so very much, oh so very much,
so very, very -
They got so much things to say right now;
yeah, they got so much things to say.
Hey, but I'n'I - I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places.
So while, so while, so while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, hey through Jah to prove my innocency,
I told you wicked think they found me guilty.
They got la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
- they "la" very much all the time.
So much things to say, rumour about,
they got so much without humour,
they don't know what they're doin', yeah.
PRINCE lyrics - The Sun, The Moon And Stars
Ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-oh-ooh [2x]
It's late and I'm running out of clever things 2 say
The kind that will bring a girl like U 2 tears
There's only one more glass of this rose
Let's throw it on the fire with our past
And dance the night away until...
The sun, the moon and stars
Don't seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always
It's late and I think it's about time 4 U and me 2 get closer...
2 get closer than we ever did before (ooh)
Whenever there's a tide U can let it ride inside your interior
Lay back, relax upon my shore (Ooh)
Ooh-ooh baby, I wanna make love 2 U right here
One inside the other one - no fear, we're here until...
The sun, the moon and stars
Don't seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always
Blow out this candle sunlight
And come lay down next 2 me
And paint another rainbow - ooh-wee (ooh-wee)
Eclipse this light with extasy
[...]
Come on, come on
Let's lay down
I'm walking out of what to say
That kind of lucky rhyme
Make a chippy wanna say:
"Whisper in the belly
2 me rocking rose"
Do U like I do
Come on and dance the night away
Let's lay before they get to close the door
U and me, we got 2 get down on the floor
Come on, let the tide ride in and off the shore
I wanna love U once again - and then some more
Lay your head back I got my hand behind your head
Like U do the limbo supple on the bouncy bed
Let's bouncing on the summer spring
And when U start 2 fall
U come like a cold winter due in Montreal
(Come on baby)
(The sun, the moon and stars) - hey-hey, hey-hey
(The tide ride) - hey-hey, hoo-hoo
(The tide ride - hou)
The sun, the moon and stars
Don't seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always
The sun, the moon and stars
Don't seem as far as they did yesterday
The sun, the moon and stars
In love we R - 4ever, always
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - All In Your Mind
(Del Bromham)
[Originally by Stray]
Look inside your head and find, tell me now and it's all in your mind
Look inside your head and find a way deep inside and it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
Revolution, air pollution, Chairman Mao Tse Tung is in your mind
"But he's dead pal... He's not very well anyway..."
A new day breaking-people hating
Love's a dream and it's all in your mind
[Solo]
Segregation, preservation, politicians all are in your mind
Pewter suta, Karma Sutra, even Blanckenheimer's in your mind
Yes...
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind

GARY WRIGHT lyrics - Dream Weaver
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Dream weaver
Dream weaver
STYX lyrics - Witch Wolf
(James Young, Ray Brandle)
Reoccurring symptoms
Answer the baleful howl
Bringing me dreams of darkness
The doer of all that's foul
Raping the minds of infants
Sower of unplanted seeds
Full moon warrior
Doer of sordid deeds
Witch Wolf
Night Rider
Why do you call for me?
Thirteenth hour madman
Bringing my soul to fire
Visions of my sweet Beulah
To torment soon retire
Witch Wolf
Night Rider
Why do you call for me?
Got my one-way ticket
on this hell bound train
I can't seem to stop falling
I bear the wrath of Cain
Witch Wolf
Night Rider
Why do you call for me?
HELLOWEEN lyrics - Eagle Fly Free
People are in big confusion
They don't like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And they're still prepared for war
Some can say what's ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre
[Bridge:]
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
[Chorus:]
Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better quite neutronic
But the poor don't see a dime
Nowadays the air's polluted
Ancient people persecuted
That's what mankind contributed
To create a better time
[Bridge:]
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
[Chorus:]
Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
[Solos]
RUFUS AND CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Half Moon
(J. Hall)
Half Moon, Nighttime sky
Silver stone, Heaven's eye
Silver stone from the seven seas
Won't you be sure you bring sweet love home to me
You thrill me like a mountain
You thrill me like a sea
Nighttime's past but still at last your love
Half moon, Nighttime stone
You be sure that you call my name
Telling everybody going around
Won't you tell the world about sweet, sweet love I found you
Thrill me like a mountain
Thrill me like sea a sea, lord!
Nighttime's past, still at last love!
Half moon, Nighttime sky
Silver stone from the seven seas
Won't you be sure you bring your sweet love home to me now!

YES lyrics - And You And I IV: Apocalypse
(Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire)
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.
MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - I'm Looking For Blue Eyes
What's happened to blue eyes,
Has anyone seen him?
Don't anyone tell me
That he gave up on me.
I'm looking for blue eyes
I gotta find him,
I gotta know if,
If he's been looking for me.
There was a time blue eyes said he'd love no other,
His one and only love, he swore at me.
There was a time when his blue eyes were clearer than mine did
It isn't right, he isn't to blame, he didn't mean it this way.
What's happened to blue eyes,
Has anyone seen him?
Don't anyone tell me
That he gave up on me?
I'm looking for blue eyes
I've got to find him
I don't know if,
If he's been looking for me.
What's happened to blue eyes?

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Can't Deny
You pretend you're so cool
It's not you who's the fool
Says the voice on your shoulder
You pretend you're so calm
And you've never been harmed
But you're crying inside
[Chorus:]
Can't deny
What you find under the cover
What you need's more than a lover
You would like to believe
You could never deceive
Not yourself or another
When the going gets rough
You pretend you're so tough
But you're hurting inside
What you need is a friend
You can trust 'till the end
And you don't need no other
After all you've been through
L can see why you choose
Living life in disguise
TOM WAITS lyrics - November
No shadow
No stars
No moon
No care
November
It only believes
In a pile of dead leaves
And a moon
That's the color of bone
No prayers for November
To linger longer
Stick your spoon in the wall
We'll slaughter them all
November has tied me
To an old dead tree
Get word to April
To rescue me
November's cold chain
Made of wet boots and rain
And shiny black ravens
On chimney smoke lanes
November seems odd
You're my firing squad
November
With my hair slicked back
With carrion shellac
With the blood from a pheasant
And the bone from a hare
Tied to the branches
Of a roebuck stag
Left to wave in the timber
Like a buck shot flag
Go away you rainsnout
Go away, blow your brains out
November

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Except The New Girl
Drive your mustang down, to where you hang out.
Alone without a friend.
Girls walk by you, some in fact have tried you.
But once they tried they never tried again.
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
Alone and lonesome, trusting no one they say,
You never had a friend.
People talk about you, they say they doubt you really,
Ever let anybody in.
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
I guess there's never been anyone.
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
Last time I saw him, he was laughing.
She was standing by his side.
I've got a feeling, that they're still together.
From the look that was in his eyes. There's no one,
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
See him smile, he don't care.
Says he loves her, and he'll always love her.
See him smile, it seems fair.
That he finally found her, finally hold her. There's no one,
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
Except the new girl.
CHRIS REA lyrics - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat
In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
With all it's lights so bright
To the trucker on the highway
Pressing through the night
I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
I'm in a European disco
And it's thumping up the beat
There's a jukebox in a cafe
Where the younger ones can meet
We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I'm moving on that back beat
Girl, but it's you that sings the song
'Cos I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
The sound of you is so sweet
And I'm sailing on your wind song
Oh, I can feel the summer breeze
You've got me walking on my tiptoes
You've got me standing on my knees
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
To the clubs of gay Paris
No matter where I roam, girl,
You can always get to me
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
And I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
CELINE DION lyrics - Oxygene
Comme tous les matins
Le soleil se leve
Entre les buildings
As every morning
The sun rises up
Between the buildings
Vers sept heure et demie
J'ouvre ma fenetre
Toujours le meme homme qui fait son jogging!
Around seven and a half o'clock
I open my window
Always the same man jogging!
Je m'habille
Je me maquille
J'avale un grand cafe noir
I dress
I make up
I swallow a large black coffee
Mes lunettes
Ma malette
Accessoires obligatoires
My glasses
My briefcase
Compulsory accessories
Les miroirs
Du couloir
Multiplient ma silhouette
The mirrors
Of the corridor
Reproduce my silhouette
L'ascenceur
Me fait peur
A chaque etage, mon coeur s'arrete, , ,
The elevator
Frightens me
At every floor, my heart stops, , ,
Donnez-moi
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene, , ,
Give me
Give me some oxygen
Give me some oxygen
Dans une cour d'ecole
Un enfant qui joue
Avec un ballon vert
Porte tout a coup
La main a son cou
En tombant par terre, etouffe par l'air
In a schoolyard
A kid playing
With a green ball
Suddenly put
His hand at his neck
While falling on the ground, smothered by the air
A midi
Et demi
Encore un grand cafe noir
At noon
And a half
Another large black coffee
Je ne mange
Qu'une orange
Pour tenir le coup jusqu'au soir
I only eat
An orange
To be able to hold on till the evening
4 Je m'etends
Un instant
Les jambes a la verticale
I lay down
A moment
Legs up in the air
Je respire
Et j'expire
Dans un mouvement machinal, , ,
I inhale
And exhale
In a mechanical way, , ,
Donnez-moi
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene, , ,
Give me
Give me some oxygen
Give me some oxygen, , ,
Dans une ambulance
Traversant la ville
A deux cents a l'heure
On mene a l'urgence
Um homme immobile
Avec une pile a la place du coeur
In an ambulance
Crossing the city
At two hundreds per hour
We bring to the emergency
A motionless man
With a battery instead of a heart
Toute la s'maine
J'me demene
De neuf heures jusqu'a cinq heures
All the week
I struggle
From nine o'clock till five o'clock
Le trafic
Me panique
Quand je roule a la noirceur
The traffic
Panics me
When I drive at night
Le parking
Du building
A toujours la meme odeur
The parking
Of the building
Always has the same smell
En rentrant
Dans l'apartement
J'allume mon climatiseur, , ,
Entering
In the appartment
I turn on my air conditioner
Donnez-moi
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene
Donnez-moi de l'oxygene, , ,
Give me
Give me some oxygen
Give me some oxygen, , ,
