LOBO lyrics - The End Is In Sight

(Kent LaVoie)



And if I need you

You were always there

You said you'd always care



But something's missing

That was there before

It's just not there anymore



You tell me not to worry

To remember what you said

But now those words

Have different meaning

Though I can still

Hear them in my head



You said you'd love me till the end of time

But if I'm reading all the signs right

The clock should start slowing down

Any day now

Cos the end of time is in sight



Any day now the sun will go out

And the stars will all turn gray

And life on Earth as I know it now

Will just fade away

QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - Circles

I walk around in circles, up all night.

I wish there was something in my life that turned out right.

I'm waiting here for reasons that used to be clear.

What I thought I needed so bad was always here...

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Madonna Road

Ohs, yeahs, and ai ya yas



Oh girl, yeah, yeah, yeah

He says you almost need a bodyguard

Just to go walking down the boulevard

Little girl with their club feet

You try to be so neat but they're messy when you eat

When they gobble up the street

Those picture-perfect images

Pop another flash bulb and give a kiss

But it's a clear absurdity, what's a person supposed to say

Sorry about yesterday, guess that things are just that way



[Chorus:]

Whoa, Madonna Road

Boys with broken bones out in the night

With secret messages to frightening to decode

Whoa, Madonna Road



Pump a little gas into the cylinder

All these movie lights they must be killin' her

She's been livin' on the take

Waitin for a bigger break

And I've seen you on the make

What d' you think about the earthquake?

Well I don't wanna shake it up

But move that camera quick before I break it up

You've been standin' in that pose

Now there's a wound that just been closed

From an apartment of the host

Anybody got a No-Doz



[Chorus 2x]



Pump a little gas into the cylinder

All these movie lights they must be killin' her

She's been livin' on the take

Waitin for a bigger break

And I've seen you on the make

What d' you think about the earthquake?

Well I don't wanna shake it up

But move that camera quick before I break it up

You've been standin' in that pose

Now there's a wound that just been closed

From an apartment of the host

Anybody got a No-Doz



[Chorus]



I said whoa, Madonna Road

I said whoa, Madonna Road

I said whoa, Madonna Road

Ai yi yi yis

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Falling In Love With Love

I weave with brightly colored strings

To keep my mind off other things

So, ladies, let your fingers

Dance

And keep your hands out of romance

Lovely witches

Let the stitches

Keep your fingers under

Control

Cut the thread, but leave

The whole heart whole

Merrry maids can sew and sleep

Wives can only

Sew and weep

Falling in love with love

Is falling for make-believe

Falling in love with love

Is

Playing the fool

Caring too much is juvenile fancy

Learning to trust is just

For children in school

I

Fell in love with love one night

When the moon was full

I was unwise with eyes

Unable to see

I fell

In love with love

With love everlasting

But love fell out with me

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)

(E. Danzig/J. O. Segal)



I peeked in to say goodnight and I heard my child in prayer. "Please bring me some scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for my hair."



Searched all night, my heart was achin', just before the dawn was breaking.

I peeked in and on her bed in gay profusion lying there, scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.



If I live to be a hundred, I will never know from where came those ribbons, lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.

CHER lyrics - Shape Of Things To Come

Magic, logic

The system works, but not for me

Look beyond the nearest moment

And you'll see

The shape of things to come



Somewhere deep in the city

I can feel you I know you're here

Baby, I'm just a pussy-cat

But not a one that you should fear



One, two, always love you

One, two, move up above you

Two, two, right in the face

Yes sir, no sir, three bags full so



The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

Let me get you outta here



Tragic, logic

The system hurts, but not for me

I look beyond the farest moment

And I say

The shape of things to come



The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come



Somewhere deep in the system

I can see you but you're not clear

A simple case of error correction

Come on baby, get your ass in gear



One, two, always love you

One, two, move up above you

Two, two, right in the face

Of sir, no sir, three bags full so



The shape of things to come

Let me get your outta here

The shape of things to come

Look into my eyes and I'll make your day

The shape of things to come

Good things, great things, all just same things

The shape of things to come

The shape of things to come

CHICAGO lyrics - Free

(Robert Lamm)



I just want to be free

I just want to be free

I want to be free of all the hurt

Free of all the pain

I want to just end these lonely hours

End these lonely days

I just want to be free

I just want to be free

I just want to be free

I just want to be free

OTIS REDDING lyrics - Scratch My Back

[Originally by Slim Harpo]



[Harmonica with words spoken through song]



Aww I'm itchy

And I don't know where to scratch

Come here baby

Scratch my back

I know you can do it

So baby get to it



Aww you're workin with it now

You got me feelin' so good

Just lookin' up to the sun now baby

This little girl sho' knows how'd scratch



Now you're doin' the chicken scratch



Aww its lookin' good baby



Just gettin' scratchy

FOREIGNER lyrics - Moment Of Truth

Don't expect me to treat you like a lady

I may not always show respect

It's too soon yet, I hardly even know you

That's just my way, don't get upset



You see, up 'till now I've been living like a loner

Gettin' by, just gettin' by

And this heart of mine has only had one owner

But you could change that if you tried



Now I don't want a love forever

And I don't need a master plan

I just want to come together

And I want you to understand



It's the moment of truth, and it's finally come this time

Now we must draw the line

The moment of truth, this time it's everything

Open up, let me in, let me right into your heart



I intend to treat you like a woman

'Cause I can see you're not a child

You've got that look, that certain way of knowin'

It's got my senses runnin' wild



Now I don't want a love forever

And I don't need a master plan

I just want to come together

And I want you to understand



It's the moment of truth, and it's finally come this time

Now we must draw the line

The moment of truth, this time it's everything, open up

let me in

The moment of truth, and it's finally come this time

Now we must draw the line, the moment of truth this time

[repeat bridge and chorus....]

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Them There Eyes

(Maceo Pinkard, William Tracy and Doris Tauber)



I fell in love with you

the first time I looked into...them there eyes



You've got a certain way,

a cute way of flirtin with...them there eyes



They make me feel so happy

they make me feel so blue



I'm fallin', no stallin'

Fallin' in a great big way for you



My heart is jumpin'

You started something with...them there eyes



You better look out

Little brown eyes, if you're wise



They sparkle, they bubble

Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble

OOooo baby... them there eyes...

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Down In It

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky and I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe sometimes I don't believe them myself and I decided I was never coming down

Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see

But I watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me down



I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it

I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it



Well shut up so what what does it matter now

I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground

And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me

Try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out ("I guess the jokes on me" she said)



I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it

I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it



I used to be so big and strong

I used to know my right from wrong

I used to never be afraid

I used to be somebody



I used to have something inside

Now just this hole that's open wide

I used to want it all

I used to be somebody



I'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye

And all the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why

And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory

I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye"



I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it

I was up above it

I was up above it

Now I'm down in it

THE PROCLAIMERS lyrics - The Light

You make it sound easy

You say just hold your hand out don't you

You just hold your hand out don't you

That hope never leaves you

'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer

Makes everything clear

(Well it might)

Well it might in your world

(but it doesn't)

But it doesn't in mine

(I've been stumbling)

I've been stumbling in the dark for years

And the light just made me blind



You say it lights every pathway

Shows me how to live life

For the rest of my days

For the rest of my days

(But I can't)

But I can't put my faith in

(Your words)

Your words and demands

(I believe)

I believe in God alright

It's folk like you I just can't stand



You don't have to try and scare me

To reinforce my faith sir

'Cos I know that one day

I'll stand before my maker



(And it I'm found)

And if I'm found wanting

(When my case)

When my case is heard

(It'll be)

It'll be by the author

Not some interpreter of his words



You make it sound easy

You say just hold your hand out don't you

You just hold your hand out don't you

That hope never leaves you

'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer

Makes everything clear

(Well it might)

Well it might in your world

(but it doesn't)

But it doesn't in mine

(I've been stumbling)

I've been stumbling in the dark for years

And the light just made me blind

Yeah the light just made me blind

ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS lyrics - Anything

(Burdon/Briggs/Weider/Jenkins/McCulloch)



For you, my friend, I'd do anything

Shine your shoes, anything

Lose your blues, make love to you

Take you under my wing, anything



For you, my hero, I'd do anything

Paint your picture, anything

Kiss your photograph even though I know you'd laugh

Stand beneath your wings, Oh, anything



And for you, my love, I would do anything

Kiss your feet and everything

Suffer your pain but I'd ride your train

Spread our tiny wings, baby, anything



And for you, my son, I'd do everything

Protect your mind from everything

I could read your lies, dry tears from your eyes

Spread your tiny wings, anything



'Cause everything is anything

And everything is anything

PRINCE lyrics - One Of Us

(We didn't write this song, but listen)



If God had a name, what would it be

And would we call it 2 His face

If we were faced with Him and all His glory?

What would U ask if U had just one question?



Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!



What if God was one of us?

Just a slave like one of us?

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin' 2 make His way home



If God had a face, what would it look like

And would U wanna see it

If seeing meant that U would have 2 believe in things like heaven

And Jesus and the saints and all the prophets?



Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!



What if God was one of us?

Just a slave like one of us?

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin' 2 make His way home



Yeah



Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!



What if God was one of us?

Just a slob (slave) like one of us?

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin' 2 make His way home



Like a holy rollin' stone

Back up 2 heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept 4 the Pope maybe in Rome

But He ain't home, He aint home, He ain't home!

No, no, no, He ain't home! [x2]

Oh yeah, oh!



(What if God was one us?) [x4]

THE WHO lyrics - It's A Boy

[Nurse:]

It's a boy Mrs. Walker it's a boy.

METALLICA lyrics - The Day That Never Comes

(James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo)



Born to push you around

Better just stay down

You put away,

He hits the flesh,

You hit the ground



Mouth so full of lies

Tend to block your eyes

Just keep them closed,

Keep praying, just keep waiting



Waiting for the one,

The day that never comes,

When you stand up and feel the warmth

But the sunshine never comes, no

No, the sunshine never comes



Pushed you across that line

Just stay down this time

Hide in yourself,

Crawl in yourself,

You'll have your time



God I'll make them pay

Take you back one day

I'll end this day

I'll splatter color on this grey



Waiting for the one,

The day that never comes

When you stand up and feel the warmth

But the sunshine never comes



Love is a four letter word,

And never spoken here

Love is a four letter word

Here in this prison



I suffer this no longer,

I'll put an end to,

This I swear, This I swear



The sun will shine

This I swear, This I swear,

This I swear

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Mystical One

They say I'm not what I used to be

All the same

I'm happier than a willow tree

Shine or rain sitting here by a stream

(Mmm) There's nothing I'd rather feel

In this world

You and your sweet serenity

Rocking me

Melting my heart away



I know something so dear to me

Beyond words

Beautiful feeling in my soul

Sounds I've heard

Like humming birds in a dream

(Mmm) That mystical one I knew

Is returned

Lulling me with those raincloud eyes

Taking me

Melting my heart away



I am yes I am

I know what I feel

You came in my life

Made me more real



I know whatever we may have been

In past times

Has sorted the truth out from the rest

Win or lose

I always knew you'd be there

(Mmm) You answer my deepest prayer

In a song

Shimmering slowhand flowing clear

Moving me

Melting my heart away



I am yes I am

I know what I feel

You came in my life

Made me more real



(Mmm) That mystical one I knew

Is returned

Lulling me with those raincloud eyes

Taking me

Melting my heart away

MANOWAR lyrics - Gloves Of Metal

Hear the pounding army of the night

The call of metal summons us tonight

And gather we on this site

To behold the power and the might

We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night



Off with the lights, hear the screams

See the banging heads awaken to their dreams.

The sound of metal so loud it cracks the beams

Played by warriors called the Metal Kings.



A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.

We are together, we are all.

With hands high fists fill the air

Against the world we stand.

Hands high forever we'll be there,

Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea



A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.

We are together, we are all.

With hands high fists fill the air

Against the world we stand.

Hands high forever we'll be there,

Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea



Leather, Metal, Spikes and Chains

Gloves of Metal raised to show the brave.

Into the darkness march the armies of the night.

Bound by metal we live the fight.

We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night

With hands high fists fill the air

Against the world we stand.

Hands high forever we'll be there,

Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Sock It To Me Santa

[Talking intro:]

You know what pop? What's that son?

Christmas just isn't gonna be the same this year.

Why is that?



Cause Santa's got a brand new bag!



Come on jump up, ohhhh

Sock it to me Santa, you know what I like

Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a bike

Christmas just won't be a drag, Santa's got a brand new bag



Don't you dare let those children bring you down

You gotta spread those toys all over town

My stocking's all hung so you can see

Don't hang me up Santa lay some toys on me

Sock it to me Santa you know where it's at

Sock it to me Santa I want a baseball bat

Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag

I say come on Dancer, come on Prancer

A brand new Santa's got to be the answer

Come on Comet, and come on Cupid

Don't just stand there lookin' stupid



[guitar solo]



He's got a bright red cape and a white moustache (sock it to me Santa)

He's got lots of toys but no time for trash (sock it to me Santa)

He's dressed real warm from his head to his toes (sock it to me Santa)

He lost a little weight but his jelly still rolls (sock it to me Santa)

Sock it to me Santa, you heard what I said

Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a sled

Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag



Sock it to me Santa

Sock it to me Santa

PATTI LABELLE lyrics - Love Don't Live Here Anymore

[Originally by Rose Royce]



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy

Love don't live here anymore



When you lived inside of me

There was nothing I could conceive

That you wouldn't do for me

Trouble seemed so far away

You changed that right away, baby



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy

Love don't live here anymore



Love don't live here anymore

Just emptiness and memories

Of what we had before

You went away

Found another place to stay, another home



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy

Love don't live here anymore



In the windmills of my eyes

Everyone can see the loneliness inside me

Why'd ya have to go away

Don't you know I miss you so and need your love



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy

Love don't live here anymore



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy

Love don't live here anymore



Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore



You abandoned me

Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer

Johnny Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight

He said "Before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you," Said "Listen boy

Learn to hoist a jack and learn to lay a track learn to pick and shovel too

And take that hammer, It'll do anything you tell it to."



John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies

John Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen times

The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money

He said, "I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrow

that's the pay for a steel driver on this line."



Then the section foreman said, "Hey! Hammer-swinger!

I see you your own hammer boy but, what all can them muscles do?" and he said,

"I can turn a jack I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too."

"Can you swing a hammer, boy?" "Yes sir, I'll do anything you hire me to."



Spoken:

"Now ain't you somethin'! So high and mighty with all that muscle! Just go

ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer, pick up the hammer!"



He said to get a rusted spike and swing it down three times

I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to

Go on and do what you say you can do



With a steel-nosed hammer on a four foot switch handle

John Henry raised it back til' it touched his heels then

The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two

Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel

"Sweat! Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!"

"I was born drivin' steel"



Well John Henry hammered in the mountain

He'd give a grunt he give a groan every swing

The women-folks from miles around heard him and come down

To watch make the coal-steel ring "Lord! What a swinger!

Watch him make the coal-steel ring"



But the bad boys came up laughin' at John Henry

They said," Your full of vinegar now but you bout' through!

We gonna get a steamdrill to do your share of drivin'

Then what's all them muscles gonna do? Huh? John Henry?

Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you."



John Henry said,"I feed for little brothers

and baby sisters' walkin' on her knees

Now did the Lord say that machines ought to take place of livin'?

And what's a substitute for bread and beans? I ain't seen it!

Do engines get rewarded for their steam?



John Henry hid in a coal mine for his dinner nap

Had thirty minutes to rest before the bell

The mine boys hollered," Get up whoever you are and get a pickax

Mine me enough to start another hell and keep it burnin'

Mine me enough to start another hell.



John Henry said to his captain said "A man ain't nothin' but a man

but if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and honest.

I'll die with that hammer in my hand but, I'll be laughin',

cause you can't replace a steel-drivin' man.



There was a big crowd of people at the mountain.

John Henry said to the steam-drill "How is you?

(spoken) Pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you didn't hear me. Huh?

Well, can you turn a jack? Can you lay a track? Can you pick and shovel too?

Listen, this hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.



(Faster...........)

Two-thousand people hollered, "Go John Henry!!!!!"

Then somebody hollered," The mountain's cavin' in!!!!!!"

John Henry told the captin,"Tell the kind-folks not to worry

It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, it keeps me breathin'

This steel-driver's muscle it ain't thin.



"Captain tell the people to move back farther

I'm at the finish line and there ain't no drill

It's so far behind that it don't got the brains to quit it

When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord, Lord

When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills"



(Slower...........)

(Spoken)

Well, John Henry had a little woman

I believe the lady's name was Paulie Ann yeah that was his good woman

John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on home

He laid down to rest his weary back and early next mornin' he said,

"Come here Paulie Ann, come here sugar.

You know I believe this is the first time there ever was the sun come

and I couldn't come up. Take my hammer, Paulie Ann and go to that railroad

Swing that hammer like you seen me do it

They'll all know your John Henry's woman but tell em' that ain't all you can

do

Tell em'.........



I can hoist a jack and I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too.

Ain't no machine can that's been proved to you!



There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house

The section hands laid him in the sand

Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid.

They slow down and take off the hats, the men do

when they come to the place where he's laying' retsina' his back.

They say,"Mornin' Steel-driver, you sure was a hammer-swinger."

Then they go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed.

Clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack



(Fade............)

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord

Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man

SMOKIE lyrics - A Day At The Mother-In-Law's

Mother dear, mother dear, mother dear

The sky is getting cloudy and it

looks a lot like it might

Start to rain so pick up your bag

and your plastic mac

While I phone your mother again

to tell her we'll still

come over (ring ring)

Mother dear, it's nice to hear from you again

Mother dear, don't speak now

we'll be over as soon as we can



Heading out the front door

say good morning to the neighbours

Passing by then it caught my eye

the bus we needed

the bus too that takes us right outside

Mother dear it's nice to see you smiling face

Again once more Mother dear the time ha flown

and I'm afraid we'll have to go



Waving from the window see that

lonly look glistening

In her eye as we head back home

she is left alone till

next week at the same time

until the goodbye



goodbye Mother dear, goodbye goodbye

MUDCRUTCH lyrics - This Is A Good Street

This is a good street.

We never walked it.

You never held my hand as we crossed it.

We never stopped along here to light a cigarette.

This is a good street.



This is a good house.

It wasn't our home.

It never scuffed you here on this threshold.

I never waited for you by the window.

This is a good house.



This is a good room.

You never slept here.

You can't betray the faith that is kept here and then no more tears will be wept here.

This is a good room.



This is a good bed.

We never laid here.

You can't erase the love that was made here.

And a love that's love will not fade here.

This is a good bed.



This is a good heart and you can't take it.

You can bend it, bruise it and shake it.

But no my dear you can't break it.

This is good heart.



This is a good bed.



Tis is a good room.



This a good house.



This is a good street.

This is a good street.

This is a good street.

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Slow Boat To China

Let's take a slow boat to China. Leave from South Carolina

Let's take our time and go the long way

On a junk boat to Thailand with your hand in mine hand

I sure hope we got something to say

Well, this old boat's go no sail so won't you please hold our mail-

For awhile

Thanks anyway pal but the Suez Canal -

Ain't our style



Let's take a slow boat to China and maybe we'll find a

New way to play those same old games

The stars just might show us and the captain will know us

Shake our hands and call us by our first names

We'll send a postcard to Grandpa of a vase or rickshaw-

He don't care

We'll buy Mom a kimono or maybe we'll just phone her -

When we're there



We'll drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights-

On the bay

We'll build house on the hill next to Shangri-Li Bill -

And we'll stay



Let's take that slow boat to China (Let's go)

Slow boat to China (Real Slow)

Slow boat to China (Let's go)

Slow boat to China (Real Slow)

Let's go Real Slow

FOREIGNER lyrics - I Don't Want To Live Without You

I find myself in a strange situation

And I don't know how

What seemed to be an infatuation

Is so different now

I can't get by if we're not together

Ooh can't you see

Girl, I want you now and forever

Close to me

I'm longing for the time

I'm longing for the day

Hoping that you will promise to be mine

And never go away



I don't want to live without you

I don't want to live without you

I could never live without you

Live without your love



I ask myself but there's no explanation

For the way I feel

I know I've reached the right destination

And I know it's real



I'm longing for the time

I'm longing for the day

When I'll be giving you this heart of mine

Believe me when I say



I don't want to live without you

I don't want to live without you

I could never live without you

Live without your love



No I don't want to live without you

I don't want to live without you

I could never live without you

Live without your love



Now I don't want to live without you

I don't want to live without you

I could never be without you

Be without your love



I don't want to live without you

Live without your love

Live without your love

You see I'm lost without your love



Ooh...oh

Without your love

GREEN DAY lyrics - Redundant

We're living in repetition.

Content in the same old shtick again.

Now the routine's turning to contention,

Like a production line going over and over and over, roller

coaster.



Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.

I'm speechless and redundant.

'Cause I love you's not enough.

I'm lost for words.



Choreographed and lack of passion.

Prototypes of what we were.

Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous.

Taken for granted now.

Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now i hate it.



Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.

I'm speechless and redundant, 'cause I love you's not enough.

I'm lost for words, now I cannot speak.

PANTERA lyrics - Arizona Rivers

When you're young

You wanna believe

Believe in love

Believe in everything



Time

Seems to be on your side

When you're young

And in love



Time to move along, baby

I've got this feelin'

Something's going on



I can't make my mind up

When I do

I tell you, baby

I'll be through with you



I feel a heart ache comin' on

I feel a heart ache comin' on

I feel a heartbreak

And it's coming on strong

STATUS QUO lyrics - Black Veils Of Melancholoy

If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree

The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see

A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.



The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me

To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me

I imagine nearly anything I want to see.



Black veils of melancholy falling on me

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

Black veils that make my mind seem small



Black veils of melancholy falling on me

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

Black veils that make my mind seem small



I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me

I open my eye up and you're not there

It's all in my mind



Black veils of melancholy falling on me

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

Black veils that make my mind seem small



Black veils of melancholy falling on me

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

Black veils that make my mind seem small

PHISH lyrics - Crowd Control

Listen now I'm talking

I've been here for weeks

Waiting in this growing crowd

Staring at my feet



The world around me's turning

I'm just standing still

The time has come for changes

Do something or I will



I"m a feather in a storm

I'm a raindrop in the sea

If I don't get enough of you

I'm a lighter shade of me



Sisters, brothers all aroudn you

There's a devil in the crowd

Meet his eye and it's the end of time

If you're bparying don't be loud



It's crowded in the lowland

But the fools stay on the hill

You control us now

You have the reins

Do something or we will



So show us why we came here

Before we lay on the ground

Give it to us loud and clear

Make the devil turn around

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Joy Of Labour

Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead

Give me time to get it through my head

They hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laugh

I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line



Do you want to look right in the devil's face?

You must have seen the ground where we upheld the Law

I was a young man then, I was a young man then

Spending time on the killing floor

Do as you would want to be

Joy of labour, sets you free



Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared

Give me time to show you, how I wound up there

They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there

I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line



Do you want see right through the devil's eyes?

You must have seen the ground where they all stood before

I was a young man then, I was a young man then

Spending time on the killing floor

Be more than you seem to be

Joy of labour, sets you free



Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead

I was the only one, that saw the road ahead

They beat me with their fists

I did the devil's work

And I was on their list, I was the first in line



Do you even know what the devil does

He drives a man 'til he can't take no more

I was a young man then, I was a young man then

Spending time on the killing floor

BILLY JOEL lyrics - Through The Long Night

The cold hands

The sad eyes

The dark Irish silence

It's so late

But I'll wait

Through the long night with you

With you



The warm tears

The bad dreams

The soft trembling shoulders

The old fears

But I'm here

Through the long night with you

With you



Oh, what has it cost you

I almost lost you

A long, long time ago

Oh, you should have told me

But you had to bleed to know



All your past sins

Are since past

You should be sleeping

It's all right

Sleep tight

Through the long night with me

With me



No, I didn't start it

You're broken hearted

From a long, long time ago

Oh, the way you hold me

Is all that I need to know



And it's so late

But I'll wait

Through the long night with you

With you

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Forever Young

(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Lloyd-Mertens)



Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders we're getting in tune

The music's played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever



Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth is like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams are swinging out of the blue

We let them come true

INXS lyrics - Men And Women

I can't see how I can

Turn around what has been done

I was just like a child

With my eyes wide open



History and any cause

And my eyes are still open

But my mouth my mouth is shut

I'm closing off the lies



Making my own mind up

When I can I will

How many dirty little secrets

Were kept behind my back?



Men and women

Men and women

Men and women

Giving each other the sham



I don't see

How I can turn around what has been done

I was just like a child

With my eyes wide open



Hungry at any cost

Now my eyes are still open

But my mouth my mouth is shut

I'm closing out the lies and promises



Men and women

Men and women

Men and women



Giving me the sham

Giving me the sham

Giving me the sham



Men and women

Men and women

Giving me the sham



Men and women

Men and women

Giving me the sham

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Big Noise

[Chorus:]

Just set your sight high, look

'em right in the eye and take it

And make a big big big noise.

Don`t ask why

Just take it wise and making it

Make that a big big big big noise.



You can feel it in the air

Feel it everywhere

There`s a spirit moving

At just look, it`s all around you

Just take a look around you people stars?? to loose it

Cos if you wanted you gotta go get it

Just to listen up

if there`s something that you need

You better believe



[Repeat chorus...]



Better make your play

Don`t let her thing like right or wrong, get it

Cos there`s nothing to it if you just if you reach out and do it, it`ll be ok

Just catch yourself a piece of the action

Just to listen up

if there`s something that you need

You better believe



[Repeat Chorus...]



Cos if you wanted you gotta go get it

Just to listen up

if there`s something that you need

You better believe

[Repeat chorus to fade...]

DORO PESCH lyrics - All I Want

You turned my world around a long time ago

I just can't take no more, got to let you know

Now I'm burning with fire

Passion burnt along with desire

And I'm standing here waiting for the night

You belong to me

I'm burning op for you, so deep inside my soul



[Chorus:]

All I want it your love

It's the stuff

Where dreams come from

All I want it your love

Take me there with your magic touch

All I want is your love

Can't get enough



I'm caught inside a web of mystery

Holding on to what I think I need

And I'm lost here without you

I know I'm a fool to allow you

And I wonder when it was

That I said you can't feel good

I'm burning up for you,

Now I might loose control



[Chorus]



I'm burning up for you, you're all that I need

The heat that I want

Is what I breathe



[Chorus]

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Black And White

(D. Arkin/E. Robinson)



The ink is black, the page is white

Together we learn to read and write

A child is black, a child is white

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight



And now a child can understand

That this is the law of all the land, all the land



The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light



And now at last we plainly see

We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!



The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight



The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light



The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight



The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light



C'mon, get it, get it

Ohh-ohhhh, yeah, yeah

Keep it up now, around the world

Little boys and little girls

Yeah, yeah-eah, oh-ohhh

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Sunny Afternoon

The tax man's taken all my dough

And left me in this stately home

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't even sail my yacht

He's taken everything I've got

All I got's this sunny afternoon



In the summertime

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze

I got a big fat momma trying to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime



My girlfriend's run off with my car

And gone back to her ma and pa

Telling tales of parrot heads and parties

And now I'm just sitting here

Sipping on this ice cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon



In the summertime

Help me, help me, help me sail away

Well give me two good reasons why I ought to stay

Cause I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime



Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze

I got a big fat momma trying to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon



In the summertime

Tax man's taken all my dough

Gonna find that passport and out of here I'll go

SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Don't Talk To Strangers

Don't talk to strangers, baby

Watch out for dangers, baby

I can't let anybody break your heart

Don't think I'm trying to guide you

Protect or trying to hide you

I just don't want my baby torn apart



I want the same things as you do

The whole world to hear you

And to see what I see

Someday your dreams

Will all come true

But watch me run too

Cause you gotta be free



Don't talk to strangers, baby

Watch out for dangers, baby

I can't let anybody break your heart

Break your heart

BABYFACE lyrics - You Are So Beautiful

You are so beautiful, yes

You are to me

You are so beautiful

You are to me

Can't you see? Can't you see?

You are everything I hoped for

And you are everything I need

And you are so beautiful to me



You are so wonderful

So wonderful to me

You are so wonderful, baby

Can't you see, can't you see, baby

You're everything I hoped for and

You're everything, yeah everything

God knows you're everything to me



You are so wonderful

You are so wonderful

So beautiful, so beautiful

You are so beautful

To me

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Faith Alone

heard a sermon from a creaky pul pit with no one in the nave, i paid a

visit to the synagogue and i left there feeling blame, no one could

tell me what to do, no one had the ability to answer me, what the

world needs now is some answers to our problems, we can't buy more

time because our tender isn't valid, if your soul needs love you can

consoled by pity, but it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us

anymore, watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding,

"pregress will resolve it all", saw the manufacturers of earth's

debris ignore another green peace call, no one could tell me what to

do, they had not the capacity to answer me, what the world needs now

is some accountability, we can't buy more time because time won't

accept our money, if your soul needs love you can always have my pity,

but it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more...

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Midnight Blue

(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1978)



Ain't no sorrow for that woman. Ain't no pity for this fool.

She wrote her name upon my window, signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."



There's a story goin' 'round here, 'bout a woman dressed in black.

Spendin' money and drinkin' whiskey, drivin' 'round in my big black Cadillac.

There's a shanty down by the river. They say she went there to meet a friend.

They found his body beneath the willows. She signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."



There's a jailhouse down in this county, with its windows oh so high.

They're gonna hang me come Monday morning, write my soul, Midnight Blue, across the sky.

Now if I ever get to heaven, I'll look St. Peter in the eye.

And say don't you ever let that woman ever appear.

She's Satan's daughter, in shades of midnight blue.

LEO SAYER lyrics - Oh Wot A Life

(Leo Sayer/David Courtney)



...2 - 3 - 4

I wanna get back home

But the bar won't close

Till ten and thirty tonight

Oh boy, good God, wot a life

Some cat down there

Split his head wide open

And the doctor died of fright

Oh, wot a life

Every woman I see she says to me

"Get back to your wife"

Everyone I know got their little problems

Boy, I wanna see some life

The Fender got busted in the second set

And the pick-up's up the pike

And the Leslie sound goes round and round

And round and round

Oh boy, good God, wot a life

Get back in my car like a movie star

It's an Austin Healey Sprite, huh

Oh boy, wot a life

I think I'll go dig some weeds down at Mrs G's

Cut the cross-bar off her bike

Oh, wot a life

Every woman I see they say to me

"Now you know what I like"

Every woman I see they fix me up

Saying, "Get back to your wife"

Next number's called paranoia

It's the story of my life

And the gigs we do take me down and down

And down and down and down

Good God, wot a life



[Solo]



Now the next number we do is called paranoia

It's the story of my life

Oh, grrrr, wot a life

(Alright, may as well get out of here now:.)

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter

She says what has her daddy done

That you want him to be punished

When she woke up one day to find

That he was starting to vanish

But _if you hope_ (?) to hear voices

You know you should not be listening

Push the vigilant lips

Make a slice of her face

Said the scandalous whispering



She's not on her own with the rest of her riches

As the kids tear down the refrigerator pictures

She picks up the bills and pays the babysitter

'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter



And once there was a time

Before you turned strange

She thought they'd be together

For more than a lifetime

Look at them now

My, how things have changed

He can tell his sweetheart

Out of any girl on just a whiff

And turn it from a candy to a caramel

And make her hate the silouette she used to feel

And say "I know nothing about you."



Now what's left of the birthday cake

Smeared and beautifully frosted

An absent father picks up the phone

To find the number's unlisted



While the kids are distracted

She'll notice _she's nervous at all_ (?)

But how long will it take

Not to make a mistake

When a gentleman comes to call



She's not on her own with the rest of her riches

As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures

They already know how a woman may advance

From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance

Where it is unkind, she might as well forget it

'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter

Burnt sugar is so bitter

Burnt sugar

Burnt sugar

Burnt sugar

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - La Mer

And when the day arrives

I'll become the sky

And I'll become the sea



And the sea will come to kiss me

For I am going

Home



Nothing can stop me now

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Get You Stoned

(Hughes/Kollman)



You live ten miles down a dusty road

You gotta pull back, gonna overload

I make you sing like a mocking bird

You better hurry better hear my word



You are a wide receiver

And you're magnificent

A disbeliever, won't you let me vent



I gotta notion you will stay for a while

I gotta potion gonna make you smile



I can get you stoned

You're in a roadside shack

And you listen to the grammophone

I can get you stoned

In your fantasy, you never have to be alone



You go to work on the graveyard shift

I got the right thing to give you a lift

I see that you're ready and able

You put your cards right out on the table



I come a knockin', won't you let me in

Soul sister I want to begin

I'm gonna take responsibility

Before they take me to the highest tree



And it hurts so bad, you made the right choice

And you're only a groove away

And when the morning comes

I will be long gone, I'm gonna make you feel

I'm glad you make you feel that way

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Fred Olivier

Don't want to be Sylvester Stallone don't push me

Never never gonna star in "Home Alone"

Hamlet, MacBeth, I'm crazy for King Lear

There's nothing more exciting than reciting Shakespeare



[Chorus:]

Fred Olivier, to be or not to be

Fred Olivier, I want my equity



Don't want to go to Hollywood

I sit alone and live the bard

I quote Othello and I me feel weak

I'm the only one who understands what I speak



[Chorus]



Take it away Shakey!!!



[Guitar bit]



I tread the boards till it made me scream

But it was only a Midsummer Nights Dream,

There's more to life than a Shakespearean clone

All I want is fame and fortune



[Chorus]

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - Two Lonely People

(L. E. White)



Darlin' where did all the time go it's two a. m. again

It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin

The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find

We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind

We're just two lonely people that need the love we found

I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down

Two lonely people the same need the same time

We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind

Two lonely people with too much love too late

Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate

So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time

We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind

[ steel ]

Two lonely people...

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - The Unfortunate Miss Bailey

(Lou Gottlieb)



In seventeen forty-two, it was customary in the township of Halifax, for a gentleman to partake occasionally of ratafia which was--a light-flavored liquer of amazing potency--which originated in Middlesex and which we suppose is the reason for this song.



[Chorus:]

Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey!



A captain bold in Halifax, who dwelt in country quarters, seduced a maid who hung herself one Monday in her garters.

His wicked conscience smitted him. He lost his stomach daily. He took to drinking ratafia and tho't upon Miss Bailey.



[Chorus]



One night betimes he went to bed for he had caught the fever. Said he, "I am a handsome man and I'm a gay deceiver."

His candle just a twelve o'clock began to burn quite palely. A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said, "Behold, Miss Bailey!"



[Chorus]



"Avast, Miss Bailey," then he cried, "you can't affright me, really." "Dear Captain Smith," the ghost replied, "you used me ungenteelly.

The coroner's quest goes hard with me because I've acted freely and Parson Biggs won't bury me tho' I'm a dead Miss Bailey."



[Chorus]



"Dear Ma'am," says he, "since you and I must once for all accounts close, I have a one pound note in my regimental small clothes.

'Twill bribe the sexton for your grave." The ghost then answered gaily, "Bless you, wicked Captain Smith, remember poor Miss Bailey!"



[Chorus]



"All's well that ends well, I suppose."

WALTER BECKER lyrics - Cringemaker

What ever happened to my college belle

When did she turn into the wife from hell



Cringemaker

What are we coming to

Cringemaker

What have they done to you



In the beginning we rode high on the hog

Down in the kitchen now it's dog eat dog



Our little Cringemaker up on the second floor

Sweet little Cringemaker

Hey listen cringemaker who locked the bedroom door

Sweet little Cringemaker

Sweet little Cringemaker



And every time I go to make my play

She rolls mighty boulders in my way



Say little cringemaker it's such a bumpy ride

Hey little cringemaker thought you were on my side



And every time I get to have my say

She just laughs and looks the other way



Oh little cringemaker this time you hurt my pride

Sweet little cringemaker

Say little cringemaker where am I gonna hide

Sweet little Cringemaker

Sweet little cringemaker



Nobody told us when we started out

Just what this life is really all about

Sometimes I wonder and you do too

If I could do it all over would I

Still do it all over you



She calls me Daddy and I just go numb

Down in the bottom where the love comes from

Sweet little cringemaker what happened on the way

Sweet little cringemaker to where we are today



I try to figure but I'm way too dumb

How we got here from where we started from

Cringe I guess we always knew

Swee' little who we would turn into

Sweet little Cringemaker

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Dame Mi Sol

(Zucchero - Paez)



Sabes que cosa es la gloria?

Tu lo sabes bien

Entonces porque haces la tonta

Tu lo sabes bien

Un corazon puro en llamas

Explota bajo mi piel

Mujeres, solo mujeres

Dificil entender.



Dame mi sol, yo se que lo tienes

Dame mi sol, la lluvia cae y duele



De la soledad en el fondo

Dime que sabes

Y de un alma grande como el mundo

Dime que sabes

Desesperado en la calle

Fumando solo cafe

Mujeres, solo mujeres

Dificil entender



Dame mi sol, yo se que lo tienes

Dame mi sol, la lluvia cae y duele



La rosa que rie

Dios mio, no!

O la rosa que finge

Por favor.

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - The Cask Of Amontillado

BY the last breath of the four winds that blow

I'll have revenge upon Fortunato

Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go

I've a cask of Amontillado"



Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow

Follow me now to the vault down below

Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time

Which is passing incredibly slow



(What are these chains that are binding my arm?)

Part of you dies each passing day

(Say it's a game and I'll come to no harm)

You'll feel your life slipping away



You who are rich and whose troubles are few

May come around to see my point of view

What price the Crown of a King on his throne

When you're chained in the dark all alone



(Spare me my life only name your reward)

Part of you dies each brick I lay

(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)

You'll feel your mind slipping away

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Jerusalem

(Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)



Standing on the empty bridge

Watching river's waves go by

Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette

Silver moon floats through the night

Eris, princess of the isles

Disperse your sparkling traces

Lead me on to the house of love

Where the gods may turn my eyes

To jerusalem we pray, it's time to meet you there

Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah

Let's take love

You might be the one I'm waiting for

I think we've met somewhere for sure

Chasing shadows leaves you feeling blue

This situation needs a cure

New assassins, new messiahs

Keepers of the balanced law

Strangest lovers of the fire

Which ignates the halo of our souls

To Jerusalem we pray, it's time to meet you there

Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah

Let's take love

Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home

On glory roads of pure delight

We head out for the stars...

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Sea Of Consciousness

(James Seals, 1969)



In the sea of consciousness I knew you, knew you, knew you.

In the sea of consciousness you loved me, loved me, loved me.

But this world is a dark world, with a black sun. Can I run to you?

And ah, just the thought of you makes me wander back

To the innocence you gave me, so long ago. Am I too late to go?



In the sea of consciousness you called me, called me, called me.

In the sea of consciousness I answered, answered, answered.

But this world is a dark world, with a black sun. Can I run to you?

And your perfection's perfectness have the mercy in

Which we all came to know you, so long ago. Am I too late to go?

Sea of Consciousness. Am I too late to go?

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Really Don't Know

Really don't know, really don't know

Just what's wrong

Feel like I don't belong

And I just can't get together

Today, anyway



Keep on rainin', more and more

Everyday

Yeah, in a wider sense

Yeah, in a wider sense

Keep on rainin'

Keep on rainin'

Everyday



Look to the sky, but the sky may fall

See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all



Keep on rainin'



Look to the sky, but the sky may fall

See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all



Keep on rainin', more and more

Everyday

Yeah, in a wider sense

Yeah, in a wider sense

Yeah, in the system

Every, every, every, every day

BAD RELIGION lyrics - The Lie

How do you know what you can be

if you can't see where you are going

What breaks the silence Misery

Can make you see where you belong

It's a dangerous stage but the show must go on



Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Would you betray your soul

Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Don't let your weakness show

You just might be the last to know



Freedom is such a loaded word

So full of hurt and such a plomb

Loneliness saunters in its breeze

Like a disease it drags along

The time of your life can't be had for a song



Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Would you betray your soul

Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Don't let your weakness show

You just might be the last to know



Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Would you betray your soul

Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Don't let your weakness show

Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Only the meek follow

Why do you lie

Why do you lie

Trample the fear below

You just might be the last to know

HEART lyrics - Ring Them Bells

Ring them bells yea heathen from the city that dreams

Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams

For they're deep and they're wide

And the world's on it's side

And time is running backwards and so is the bride

Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells!



Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow

Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know

That the rush hour is now on the wheel and the plow and the sun is going down upon the sacred cow

Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells



Ring them bells Saint Martha for the poor man's son

Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one

For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep

And the mountains are filled with little lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf

Ring them bells for all of us who are left

Ring them bells for the chosen few who would judge the many when the game is through

Ring them bells for the time that flies, for the child that cries when innocence dies

Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room

Ring them bells from the fortress from the lilies that bloom

For the lines they are long and the fighting is strong

And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong



Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells

Ring them bells!

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Cabaret

(J. Kander - F. Ebb)



What good is sitting alone in your room,

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret of charm,

Come to the cabaret

Put down the knitting, the book and the broom

It's time for a holiday

Life is a cabaret of charm, come to the cabaret



Come taste the wine, come hear the band

Come blow your horn, start celebrating.

Right this way your tables waiting

No use in permitting some prophet of doom

Wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret of charm, come to the cabaret



I MEAN DOWN TO PETE'S PLACE!



Come taste the wine and beat the band

Come blow your horn and start celebrating

Right this way I got the best table waiting

Stop your admitting from cradle to tomb

HA! it isn't the longest day

Life is a cabaret of charm, only a cabaret of charm

So come down to, so come on down to the cabaret

THE BEAU BRUMMELS lyrics - Just A Little

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I can't stay

Yes I know

You know I

Hate to go

But goodbye

Love was sweet

I was kind

Never mean

So I'll cry just a little cause I love you so

And I'll die just a little cause I have to go

Away...

Can't you see

How I feel

When I say

Love's unreal

So goodbye

It's been sweet

Even though

Incomplete

So I'll cry just a little cause I love you so

And I'll die just a little cause i have to go

Away...



[Instrumental Interlude]



Every night

I still hear

Oh your sigh's

Very near

Now it's gone

Gone away

As I once

Heard you say

Now I'll cry just a little cause I love you so

And I'll die just a little cause i have to go

Away...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

TONY BANKS lyrics - You

How strange I never noticed

Your eyes, or the colour of your hair.

It seems to me you grow more beautiful

In every way.

With every single passing day.

Love crept in unseen,

Found me wanting

I didn't even have the sense to know

What I was missing,

Or what I was soon to feel for

You the laughter,

You a reason to live.

You the object of all the love I can give,

And all that I possess.

You who meant nothing when I was younger

It seems a memory from another life.

Did you ever think we'd meet this way,

Feel this way.

Did you really even care?

Some changes I foresaw,

But not this one.

This feeling I would not have understood.

Strange to think

I might have lived my whole life without

You the laughter,

You a reason to live.

You the object of all the love I can give,

And all that I possess.

You who meant nothing when I was younger.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Highway 51 Blues

Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

If I don't get the girl I'm loving

Won't go down to Highway 51 no more.



Well, I know that highway like I know my hand

Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand

Running from up Wisconsin way down to no man's land.



Well, if I should die before my time should come

And if I should die before my time should come

Won't you bury my body out on the Highway 51.



Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

I said, Highway 51 runs right by my baby's door

If I don't get the girl I'm loving

Won't go down to Highway 51 no more.

ZZ TOP lyrics - Concrete And Steel

Hard and cold, like a street of gold,

It's easy to find but so hard to hold.

Smooth and strong but it won't last long,

When the rust sets in, she'll be good as gone!



Concrete, Concrete and steel.

It's like concrete.

Hey baby, what's the deal?



A heart of stone make you feel alone,

But what can you do when your hand is blown?

Hard as ice, it's like tumblin' dice,

Before you fall for her boy, you better think twice.



Concrete, Concrete and steel.

It's like concrete.

Hey baby, what's the deal?



Dark as night, diamond bright,

Never seen such a strange delight.

Slick as glass, and just as fast,

You'll feel the pain, but it won't last.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Ain't Talkin'

(Bob Dylan)



As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden

The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine

I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain

Someone hit me from behind



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Through this weary world of woe

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

No one on earth would ever know



They say prayer has the power to heal

So pray from the mother

In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell

I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others

But oh, mother, things ain't going well



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

I'll burn that bridge before you can cross

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost



Now I'm all worn down by weeping

My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry

If I catch my opponents ever sleeping

I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Through the world mysterious and vague

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Walkin' through the cities of the plague.



Well, the whole world is filled with speculation

The whole wide world which people say is round

They will tear your mind away from contemplation

They will jump on your misfortune when you're down



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Eatin' hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town.

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Some day you'll be glad to have me around.



They will crush you with wealth and power

Every waking moment you could crack

I'll make the most of one last extra hour

I'll revenge my father's death then I'll step back



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Hand me down my walkin' cane.

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Got to get you out of my miserable brain.



All my loyal and my much-loved companions

They approve of me and share my code

I practice a faith that's been long abandoned

Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

My mule is sick, my horse is blind.

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind.



Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'

Fame and honor never seem to fade

The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'

Who says I can't get heavenly aid?



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Carryin' a dead man's shield

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Walkin' with a toothache in my heel



The sufferin' is unending

Every nook and cranny has its tears

I'm not playing, I'm not pretending

I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Walkin' ever since the other night.

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight.



As I walked out in the mystic garden

On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn

Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon

There's no one here, the gardener is gone



Ain't talkin', just walkin'

Up the road, around the bend.

Heart burnin', still yearnin'

In the last outback at the world's end.

BERLIN lyrics - All I Ever Need

(T. Nunn/ M. Sigman)



You can't kiss a yacht

Or cuddle a Rolls

Have a fight with a mansion

Or hug your pole



You can't laugh with cocaine

Get wasted with diamonds

Sleep with your gold

It blows



Cause the clock goes ticking by

All your money

And the clock goes ticking by

All your games



All that I ever need

Is inside of me now

Waiting for you



And if I ever believe

Love just isn't enough anymore

Then shoot me now



You can't choke a Renoir

Or fuck a Merlot

Whine at your big TV

Or sell out your soul



I tried to blame the champagne

And cry with a Warhol

You die alone

It blows



Cause your life goes flying by

All your money

And your life goes flying by

All the games



All that I ever need

Is inside of me now

Waiting for you



And if I ever believe

Love just isn't enough anymore

Then shoot me now

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood

But I'm takin' a Greyhound

On the Hudson River line

I'm in a New York state of mind

Seen all those movie stars

And their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockies, under the evergreens

But I know what I'm needin'

And I don't wanna waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy livin' day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times and the Daily News

Comes down to reality

And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide

I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I don't have any reasons

Cause left them all behind

I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind...

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Ask Any Girl

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



Being hurt by the one you love

It's a feeling that's hard to hide

But you don't seem to understand why

When I'm alone I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who's often left alone

All by herself

Neglectfully pushed aside

Set aside like a doll on a shelf

Just ask any girl

Ooh, and you'll understand why

I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who knows the fear of losing

Someone dear

And she'll say the same thing

It hurts you deep

Makes it hard to sleep

Don't take my word

Ask any girl

Then you'll understand why

I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who receives no loving affection

And she'll feel as I feel

It's heartaches by the number

Many nights without slumber

Ask any girl

Ooh, and then you'll know why

I sit and cry

I sit and cry

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Jailhouse Rock

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)



The warden threw a party in the county jail.

The prison band was there and they began to wail.

The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.

You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,

the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Number forty-seven said to number three:

"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.

I sure would be delighted with your company,

come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone

way over in the corner weepin' all alone.

The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.

If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,

no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."

Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,

I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

STING lyrics - Lullaby For An Anxious Child

(Sting & Dominic Miller)



Hush child

Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise

Hush child

Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes

Hush child

I won't leave I'll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs

Hush child

I can help the look of accusation in your eyes

In your eyes



The world is broken and now

All in sorrow

Wise men hang their heads



Hush child

Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise

Hush child

All the strength I'll need to find, I'll find inside your eyes

In your eyes

STATUS QUO lyrics - Get Back

(Lennon/McCartney)



Jojo was a man who though he was a loner, but he knew it couldn't last

Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona for some Californian grass

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged



Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged



Sweet Loretta Modern though she was a woman, but she was another

man

All the girls around her said she had it coming, but she gets it while she

can

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged



Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged



Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once

belonged

Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once

belonged



Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged



Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once

belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Heaven

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised

Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised

Kissing and running, kissing and running away

Kissing and running, kissing and running away

Senses be praised

Senses be praised

Your my saving grace, saving grace

Nothing will harm you

Nothing will stand in your way

Nothing, Nothing

Nothing will stop you

And nothing will stand in your way

No one will harm you

No one will stand in your way

No one will bar you

Nothing will stand in your way

Nothing

There's nothing

CHRIS REA lyrics - The Blue Cafe

My world is miles of endless roads

That leaves a trail of broken dreams

Where have you been

I hear you say?

I will meet you at the Blue Cafe

Because, this is where the one who knows

Meets the one who does not care

The cards of fate

The older shows

To the younger one, who dares to take

The chance of no return



Where have you been?

Where are you going to?

I want to know what is new

I want to go with you

What have you seen?

What do you know that is new?

Where are you going to?

Because I want to go with you



So meet me down at the Blue Cafe



The cost is great, the price is high

Take all you know, and say goodbye

Your innocence, inexperience

Mean nothing now



Because, this is where the one who knows

Meets the one that does not care

Where have you been?

I hear you say

I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe



So meet me at the Blue Cafe

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Always Before Me

(Steven Curtis Chapman and Charlie Peacock)



Always before me

I set You O Lord

Always before me

To love and adore

Lord, may all else

Be consumed in the view

And may it be you

Alone that I see

As I set You

Always before me



[Repeat]



As I set You

Always before me

As I set You

Always before me

My heart is glad

And I sing Your praises

I know Your peace

And my rest is found in You



Always before me

I set You O Lord

Always before me

To love and adore

Lord, may all else

Be consumed in the view

And may it be you

Alone that I see

As I set You

Always before me

As I set You

Always before me

ROD STEWART lyrics - Our Love Is Here To Stay

It's very clear, our love is here to stay

Not for a year but ever and a day

The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know

May just be passing fancies and in time may go



But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay

Together we're going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble

They're only made of clay

But our love is here to stay



The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know

May just be passing fancies and in time may go

Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay

Together we're going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble

They're only made of clay

Oh, but our love is here

Our love is here

But our love is here to stay

To stay

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - The Blues

He's gonna tell you 'bout his dear old mother

Burned up in a factory in Springfield, Mass.

He's gonna tell you 'bout his baby brother

Hustlin' down the city streets

And selling his ass for a dollar bag

He's gonna tell you 'bout his uncle Neddy

Locked up in a prison out in Oregon

He's gonna tell you 'bout his best friend Eddie

Killed in a bar fight with a pair of Marines

And a sailor

Oh



He's got the blues, this boy

He's got the blues

You can hear it in his music

He's got the blues, this boy

He's got the blues

You can hear it, you can hear it



When I was nine years old

My daddy ran away

With a woman he met on a train, oh

His little boy

Ran to the room

Where his piano

Lay in wait for him

He played and he played

He played and he played



He's got the blues, this boy

Has got the blues

You can hear it, you can hear it

He's got the blues, this boy

Has got the blues



A year ago, I met a girl

I thought we'd hit a massive groove

But she dumped me

And all we'd hit were the blues



He's got the blues, this boy

Has got the blues

You can hear it in his music

He's got the blues, this boy

He's really got the blues

ROD STEWART lyrics - Satisfied

(Stewart, Taupin, Cregan, Savigar)



It's a common misconception

about a man's role in this world

A provider and survivor and

a winner who must never fail

But oh how he needs a woman

to reassure and give him strength

through the darkest nights

and the hardest fights

when there's no other corner left

When the world outside is threatening

and all his dreams have been destroyed

take him in your arms watch all his guards

melt like a little boy



Tell him you really need him

Tell him you really care

Tell him you'll never leave him

He'll be satisfied



And he may not find it easy

to say what's on his mind

When he's full of doubt

say "we'll work it out"

God knows how hard he's trying

And he may never buy you roses

and forget to notice your hair

but as long as he says "I love you my dear"

that's all you need to hear



Tell him you really need him

Tell him you'll aways care

Tell him you'll never leave him

He'll be satisfied



And they say the heart's a hunter

but it's truth you can't deny

He may never be everything you want

but for you he'd lay down and die

So Friday night when the phone rings

and he's stuck in a downtown bar

roll away the stone

cause the last mile home

is the longest mile of them all



Tell him you really need him

Tell him you'll always care

Tell him you'll never leave him

He'll be satisfied

Tell him you really want him

Tell him you understand

and tell him that you love him

He'll be satisfied

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - I've Been Good To You

Look what you've done.

You made a fool out of someone. (Out of someone)

You thought love was true and found out that you were just having fun. (Just having fun)



And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?

After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)

Oh, yes I have.



And I recall the time, hmmm, you needed somebody and I made you mine.

You needed a friend so I took you in and treated you so kind.



And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?

After... After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)

Oh, yes I have.



And you know I've always been around.

And I never, never, never let you down.

And now you telling me that you must go.

You know that you're hurting me so-o-o-o-o.



But there, there come a time

One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find

You come back to me on your bending knee and you're gonna be crying.



And oh, believe me, what I say it true, baby.

After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)



Everyday... and everyway. (I've been good to you)

Whoa, you know, you know, you know, baby, I've been so good. (I've been good to you)

PRINCE lyrics - Dead On It

Riding in my Thunderbird on the freeway

I turned on my radio 2 hear some music play

I got a silly rapper talking silly shit instead

And the only good rapper is one that's dead on it



Uh, Dead on it



Shall we go back? (Yeah!)

Let's go



Negros from Brooklyn play the bass pretty good

But the ones from Minneapolis play it like it oughta should

A magnum fro is better when u got a poof on it

And the 2 and fro is funky when the grease is dead on it



(Funky dead on it)

uh, dead (on it) on it



Shall we go back? Let's go



They dead on it, wow



See the rapper's problem usually stem from being tone deaf

Pack the house then try 2 sing,

there won't be no one left (ha ha) (on it)

Parking lot's on fire, brothers peelin' out of the town

They say in disgust, they singin' their guts

Rappin' done let us down (down down)

u got 2 be dead... on it



Dead on it



(dead)



All the sisters like it when u lick 'em on the knees

Don't believe me? (no)

Try it once then stop, they'll be begging

Please, please, please (please, please, please)

Shoo be doo wa, dead on it

What does that have 2 do with the funk?

Nothing, but who's paying the bills?

If u don't wanna lick my knees, I'm sho' your mama will



Uh, cuz we, cuz we, cuz we dead on it



De, de - de - de - de - de - de, dead on it, on it



La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la



My bed's a coffin, Dracula ain't got shit on me

My nickname's Hell's-a-Poppin', I'm badder than the Wicked Witch

I got a gold tooth, costs more than your house

I got a diamond ring on four fingers, each one the size of a mouse



They dead, they dead on it, on it



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



Wait now, hang up, dial tone on the 3

U know, U know, I'm busy, 2 scizzy

Can't nobody fuck with me



Cuz I'm dead (on it, on it, on it)

Shoo be doo wa wa, dead on it



Dead on it, on it, on it



Dang, dang, dang, dang, (dead on it) shoo be dang, dang, dang, dead on it

Dead, dead on it

GARY BROOKER lyrics - Trick Of The Night

(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)



There's a pile of papers I was going through

Old reminders I was saving

realized I had changed my view

All because of you

Found a picture of a friend of mine

Make me think of times together

Fond old memories of a friend of mine

In another time

It's a trick of the night

Everything is all right

Caught me while I was dreaming of you

It's a trick of the night

Everything is alright

Caught me while I was sleeping
