MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - Call The Fire Wagon

(Memphis Minnie)



I was talking to the people that lives in town

Y'ever had the shack and your clothes burn down?

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town



Saved my baby and my wardrobe trunk

I lost everything else I had in front

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town



Standing on the streets in my sleeping gown

Watching that shack and my clothes burn down

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town



Fast asleep laying in my bed

Lord, this smoke is 'bout to kill me dead

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town



(spoken: Play it till the fire wagon comes

Yeah)



This big city's all right but I'm so far from town

A shack catches fire, you know it's got to burn down

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town



Well, the jinx overtaken us, now, and carrying us down

Me and my baby got to leave this town

So call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Call the fire wagon

Ain't no fire wagon in town

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - By Way Of Sorrow

(Julie Miller)



You've been taken by the wind,

You have known the kiss of sorrow,

Doors that would not take you in,

Outcast and a stranger.



You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,

But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,

Meant to find you all these years.



You have drunk a bitter wine with none to be your comfort,

You who once were left behind will be welcome at love's table.



You have come by way of sorrow, you have take a long way home,

But the love that wits for, you will someday come to know,

You will one day come to know.



All the nights that joy has slept will awake to days of laughter,

Gone the tears that you have wept,

You'll dance in freedom ever after.



You have come by way of sorrow, you've come over a stony ground,

But when love calls out your name, you will lay you burden down,

You will lay you burden down.



You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,

But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,

Meant to find you all these years.

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - The Best Gift

The best gift

That I ever got

Didn't really weigh a lot

It didn't have a ribbon 'round

And it sometimes made the terrible sound

The best of all it seems to me

It wasn't neath the Christmas tree

And yet, I guess I'd have to say

That it made all the other presents twice as gay

The best gift that I've ever known

I'd always wanted most to own

Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice

I never thought it could be so nice

The best gift that I ever get

Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet

Was usually pink but oftentimes red

As it lay so innocently in its bed

The best gift of the year to me

The one I hold most dear to me

A gift that simply drove me wild

Was a tiny new born child...

THE CHURCH lyrics - Shadow Cabinet

Now chased by the shapes of your vowels

Look at the things she allows

Junction fever must have closed down the rail

The gluttonous wind keeps on nibbling the sail

Queuing in the ruins in the wake of the gale

It's harmony I say



Here the difference between close and near

The way oaths and oafs interfere

Bliss comes first as a jangling flood

Pillow from the old country arrives with a thud

That night she drinks ceremony and mud

It's happening I say



Must be thirsty, drink, drink, sink, forget

Must be empty inside the shadow cabinet



She offered her chaos to me

Proffered herself languidly

The eldritch bitch must have muddled her spells

Tinges of Persia, I hope that it sells

Chemical nuptials and ringing the bells

It's heavenly I say



Then one winter morning you walk through the trees

But they cut them all down for the factories

Made this pretty cabinet and gave you the keys

It's hardly used I think

CELINE DION lyrics - Misled

I tought I knew you

Tought that I knew you well

We had a rhythm

But I guess you never can tell



Oh I learned early

Never to ignore the signs

You'll be forgiven

It ain't worth that much to my mind



Lovin' you (was) so easy

It's hard to say goodbye

But if it's the way it goes it goes



[Chorus]

Just a page in my history

Just another one of those mysteries

One more lover that used to be

If you think you're in my head

You been seriously misled



Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5

It takes conviction it takes a will to survive

I'm not somebody who commits the crime

And leaves the scene

But when I've been dissed

I don't spend much time on what might've been

I'm not about self-pity

Your love did me wrong

So I'm movin', movein' on



[Chorus]

Just a page in my history

Just another one of those mysteries

One more lover that used to be

If you think you're in my head

You been seriously misled

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Afternoons In Utopia

(Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)



Acrobats and comets floating by so fast

Children's faces smile like suns at last

Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear

All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia

We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia



Mighty Mao Moondog drifts across the grass

Healing lullabies for easter time on Mars

Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars

Singing in metropolitan operas

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia

We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Hellraiser

(Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Lemmy Kilmister)



I'm living on an endless road

Around the world for rock and roll

Sometimes it feels so tough

But I still ain't had enough

I keep saying that it's getting too much

But Iknow I'm a liar

Feeling all right in the noise and the light

But that's what lights my fire

Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat

Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat

Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true

Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you

Walking out on another stage

Another town, another place

Sometimes I don't feel right

Nerves wound up too damn tight

People keep telling me it's bad for my health

But kicking back don't make it

Out of control, I play the ultimate role

But that's what lights my fire



I'm living on an endless road

Around the world for rock and roll

Sometimes it feels so tough

But I still ain't had enough

Feeling all right in the noise and the light

But that's what lights my fire

FREDDIE SCOTT lyrics - Hey, Girl

(Gerry Goffin and Carole King)



Hey, girl, I want you to know

I'm gonna miss you so much if you go (bye bye baby)

And hey, girl, I tell you no lie

Something deep inside of me's going to die (bye bye baby)

If you say "So long" (bye bye baby)

If this is "Goodbye" (bye bye baby)

Oh, oh, oh, oh



Hey, girl, this can't be true

How am I supposed to exist without you? (bye bye baby)

Hey, girl, now don't put me on

What's gonna happen to me when you're gone? (bye bye baby)

How will I live (bye bye baby)

How can I go on? (bye bye baby)



How can I go on? (bye bye baby)

Oh, oh, oh, oh



[Instrumental Interlude]

"bye bye baby"



Hey, girl, now sit yourself down

I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground (bye bye baby)

And beg (bye bye baby), beg you to stay (bye bye baby)



Don't go away (bye bye baby)

Hey, girl (bye bye baby)

No, I beg ya, please don't go away (bye bye baby)



[Fade]

Hey, girl (bye bye baby)

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

Don't, don't go away

PRINCE lyrics - Gotta Broken Heart Again

I've gotta broken heart again

Cuz we're only supposed to be friends

You see he stole my old lady away from me

And now I'm just as blue as I can be

I've gotta broken heart again

Cuz I ain't got no money to spend

You see I spend it all on long distance phone calls

Beggin her to please come home, yeah, yeah

Ah, yeah

It doesn't matter what I do

I can't stop, ah, thinking about uou

The little things you said

The things you do to me in bed

Oh baby, I can't get you outta my head

Oh, oh, gotta broken heart again, yeah

This time it's serious

It feels just like the end

Cuz once your love has gone away

There ain't nothing, nothing left to say

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - Rock And Roll

Jenny said when she was just five years old

You know there's nothing happening at all

Every time she puts on the radio

There was nothing goin' down at all

Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station

She couldn't believe what she heard at all

She started dancin' to that fine fine music

You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll



Despite all the amputations

You could just dance to a rock 'n' roll station



Jenny said when she was just five years old

My parents are gonna be the death of us all

Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars--

Ain't gonna help us at all



Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station

She don't believe what she heard at all

She started dancin' to that fine fine music

You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll



Despite all the computations

You could just dance to a rock 'n ' roll station

And it was alright.

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Tell Me Something

(Mose Allison)



You say the world is mad

You say that you've been had

You don't like your part in the floor show

You say it's all a bust

There's no one you can trust

Well, tell me something that I don't know



You say the world's a mess

It's anybody's guess

As to who will deliver that low blow

You suffer from the strain

You don't dig pain

Well, tell me something that I don't know



You say there's some mistake

You didn't get your break

You don't see the magic in the moonglow

You're on a one way street

Your life is incomplete

Well, tell me something that I don't know



You're uptight

It ain't right

Well, tell me something that I don't know

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Song Is Ended

(Irving Berlin, Beda Loehner)



[Recorded January 15, 1962, Los Angeles]



My thoughts go back to a heavenly dance

A moment of bliss we spent

Our hearts were filled with a song of romance

As into the night we went

And sang to our hearts' content



The song is ended

But the melody lingers on

You and the song are gone

But the melody lingers on



The night was splendid

And the melody seemed to say

"Summer will pass away

Take your happiness while you may"



There 'neath the light of the moon

We sang a love song that ended too soon



The moon descended

And I found with the break of dawn

You and the song had gone

But the melody lingers on

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Demonizer

Born of the sun

Crashed to the earth

Tormented reviled

Engorged hate from birth



Hellions the steed

Bloods on the wing

Claws set to slice

Vengeance he'll bring



Cremating the land

In seek and destroy

Apocalypse slays

Napalm he'll deploy



The beast of a god

Regalled of his race

Prepared to onslaught

And bare face to face



Across the divide

The thresholds in flames

The painkiller rises again



The scream of the demon

There's evil about

They've come to possess us

Out demons out!



Blade of the wheel

Cuts deep in the bone

It's gideons quest

To take satan's throne



The critical mass

And power that they wield

Exterminate all when vermin rebel



A maelstrom begins

To disintergrate

And pulverise all in its' wake



The scream of the demon

There's evil about

They've come to possess us

Out demons out

SWEET lyrics - Silverbird

(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)



I was a young boy

Yeah she was young too

So in love but they don't understand

Games that we played

Blue shadows in a doorway

Stealing time forbidden kisses

I wanted to stay but I had to go away



Chorus

Silverbird come take me home to you

Silverbird come take me home to you



Well it's been five years

Unjustified years

Other girls that just don't make it

Face to face with you

Red sunset through my window

I won't sleep tonight I'm coming home

Please let it be that you're waiting there for me



Chorus

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - Face Down In The Dirt

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it



All I ever heard as a kid was "you're born to lose"

All I ever wanted was a shot at breakin' the rules



I wanna make a lotta money

But I don't wanna go to school

I don't wanna get a real job

I don't wanna be you



I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be face down in the dirt

With a bullet it my head



I ran away and pawned my soul for a switchblade knife

Met a man from mars and a couple other freaks that night



I wanna take on the world

I wanna bang a million girls

I don't wanna wear a three piece suit

I don't wanna be you



I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be face down in the dirt

With a bullet it my head



It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - X-Girlfriend

[Chorus:]

Ex-girlfriend you can't have him

It's about time

That you found you a new man

He's moved on

Don't you know, don't you know

You gotta let him go,

Let him go, let him go

Ex-girifriend you don't listen

Stop trying

He's not gonna give in

He's not yours anymore

Don't you know

You gotta let him go

Let him go, let him go



Hey ex-girlfriend

It's too bad when you had him

Y'all thing didn't work

But he's all mine now

So stop pursuing him

Before you get your feelings hurt

See our love is hot

And no, it won't stop

'Cause I got him on lock

And although he rejects you

It don't seem to affect you

'Cause you just keep trying

To get wit him



So don't, don't keep, keep calling

Hanging up the phone

When I answer I know it

Tears you up inside and

Why do you sit in silence

On the other end

'Till I hang up and you

Predictably call right back again



[Chorus]



Hey ex-girlfriend

Whatever your name is



I'm really not amused

'Cause the things you do

Are very offensive

And sometimes straight up rude

All those late night calis and notes

On his car

Won't get you anywhere

You can call his mom

As much as you want

And he won't really care



So don't, don't keep, keep calling

Hanging up the phone

When I answer I know it

Tears you up inside and

Why do you sit in silence

On the other end

'Till I hang up and you

Predictably call right back aqain



[Chorus]



I understand why

You want him back

But don't you know

Our love's too strong

For you to penetrate

It's too late

He's not your baby no more

CARPENTERS lyrics - Johnny Angel

Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel,

You're an Angel to me.



Johnny Angel, how I love him.

He's got something I can't resist,

But he doesn't even know that I exist.



Johnny Angel, how I want him.

How I tingle when he passes by.

Every time he says "Hello" my heart begins to fly.



I remember how I get carried away.

I dream of him and me, and how it's gonna be.



Other fellas call me up for a date,

but I just sit and wait, I'd rather concentrate...





... on Johnny Angel.

'Cause I love him.

And I pray that someday he'll love me.

And together we will see how lovely heaven will be.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - No More

(Tom Petty)



No more

No more

I ain't gonna do it no more

It used to be a big deal

But, I ain't gonna do it

If it ain't real



Big money

Big plans

You stand with a ticket in your hand

You don't play you can't win

But, I ain't gonna do it

'Til I feel it again



When I see that sun go down

My mind begins to clear

Sure was a hard time

It sure was a hard time my dear



No more

No more

I ain't gonna do it no more

It used to be a big deal

But, I ain't gonna do it

If it ain't real

No, I ain't gonna do it

If it ain't real

PINK FLOYD lyrics - On Of The Few

when you're one of the few to land on your feet

what do you do to make ends meet?

teach

make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two

make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to

make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die

PETE SEEGER lyrics - Letter To Eve

Oh, Eve, where is Adam, now you're kicked out of the garden?

Oh, Eve, where is Adam, now you're kicked out of the garden?

Been wandering from shore to shore,

Now you find there's no more

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Don't you wish love, love alone, could save this world from disaster?

Don't you wish love, love alone, could save this world from disaster?

If only love could end the confusion -

Or is it just one more illusion?

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Well if... you want to have great love, you got to have great anger

Well if... you want to have great love, you got to have great anger

When I see innocent folk shot down,

Should I just shake my head and frown?

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Well if... you want to hit the target square, you better have blind anger

Well if... you want to hit the target square, you better have blind anger

Or else it'll be just one more time

The correction creates another crime.

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Oh Eve, you tell Adam, next time he asks you

Oh Eve, you tell Adam, next time he asks you

He'll say, "Baby it's cold outside;

What's the password to come inside?"

You say, Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Oh, Eve, go tell Adam, we got build a new garden

Oh, Eve, go tell Adam, we got build a new garden

We got to get workin' on the building

Of a decent for all o' God's children.

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



If music... could only bring peace, I'd only be a musician

If music... could only bring peace, I'd only be a musician

If songs could more than dull the pain,

If melodies could break these chains

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa.



Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa!

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa!

Four thousand languages in this world,

Means the same thing to evrry boy and girl

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa!

Oh, Pacem in Terris, Mir, Shanti, Salaam, Hey Wa!

THE RASCALS lyrics - How Can I Be Sure

(Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigatti)



How can I be sure

In a world that's constantly changin'?

How can I be sure

Where I stand with you?



Whenever I

Whenever I am away from you

I wanna die

'cause you know I wanna stay with you



How do I know?

Maybe you're trying to use me

Flying too high can confuse me

Touch me but don't take me down



Whenever I

Whenever I am away from you

My alibi is tellin' people I don't care for you

Maybe I'm just hanging around

With my head up, upside down

It's a pity

I can't seem to find someone

Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you



How can I be sure

I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow

I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow



(Oh oh oh...)



How's the weather?

Weather or not, we're together

Together we'll see it much better

I love you, I love you forever

You know where I can be found



How can I be sure

In a world that's constantly changing?

How can I be sure?

I'll be sure with you.

K. D. LANG lyrics - Three Days

(Willie Nelson/Faron Young)



Three days that I hate to see arrive

Three days that I hate to be alive

Three days filled with tears and sorrow

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow



There are three days I know I will be blue

Three days I'll dream of you

And it does no good to wish these days to end

'Cause the same three days start over again



Three days that I dread to see arrive

Three days that I hate to be alive

Three days filled with tears and sorrow

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

ROD STEWART lyrics - Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda)

(Tom Waits)



Wasted and wounded

And it ain't what the moon did

I got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow

Hey Frank can I borrow

A couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me



I'm an innocent victim

of a blinded alley

And I'm tired of all these soldiers here

No-one speaks English

And everything's broken

And my strength is soaking away

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me



Now the dogs they are barking

and the taxi cab's parking

A lot they can do for me

I begged you to stab me

You tore my shirt open

And I'm down on my knees tonight



Old bushmills I staggered

You buried the dagger

Your silhouette window light

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me



Now I've lost my St. Christopher

Now that I kissed her

And the one-arm bandit knows

And the maverick Chinaman

with the cold-blooded sigh

And the girls down by the striptease shows go

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me



No I don't want your sympathy

Fugitives say

that the streets aren't for dreaming now

Manslaughter dragnet

and the ghost that sells memories

Want a piece of the action anyhow

Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me



And you can ask any sailor

And the keys from the jailor

And the old men in wheelchairs know

That Matilda's the defendant

She killed about a hundred

And she follows wherever you may go

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me



And it's a battered old suitcase

in a hotel someplace

And a wound that would never heal

No prima donnas the perfume is on

and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street-sweepers,

The night watchmen flame-keepers

And goodnight Matilda too

Goodnight Matilda too.

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Elevate Me Mama

Elevate me mama, mama five or six floors all down

Elevate me mama, mama five or six floors all down

Ah you know everybody tell me, you must be the elevatin' woman in town



Well you know when you start to elevate me

You almost scared me to death

You elevate me so fast

I've to stop and catch my breath

Elevate me mama, mama five or six floors all down

Ah you know everybody tells me, you 'bout the elevatin' woman in town



Well you know I went to your apartment last night

You had your elevator runnin' slow

You know I gave you a buzz

I went to take you up on the fourteenth floor

Elevate me mama, mama five or six floors on down

Well you know everybody tells me, you must be the elevatin' woman in town

CARPENTERS lyrics - Da Doo Ron Ron

(Ellie Greenwich & Jeff Barry)



I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron

Somebody told me that his name was Bill

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



Yeah, my heart stood still

Yes, his name was Bill

And when he walked me home

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



I knew what he was doing when he caught my eye

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron

He looked so quiet but my oh my

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



Yeah, he caught my eye

Yes, oh my, oh my

And when he walked me home

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



(Sax solo)



He picked me up at seven and he looked so fine

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron

Someday soon I'm gonna make him mine

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



Yeah, he looked so fine,

Yes, I'll make him mine

And when he walked me home

Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron



(Fade on: Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah...

with: Da-do-ron-ron from background singers)

RINGO STARR lyrics - Let The Rest Of The World Go By

(J. Keirn Brennan and Ernest R. Ball)



With someone like you,

A pal so good and true,

I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find

Some place that's known to god alone,

Just a spot to call our own.



We'll find perfect peace

Where joys never cease

Out there beneath the kindly sky.

We'll build a sweet little nest,

Somewhere in the west

And let the rest of the world go by.



(with someone like you,

VAN HALEN lyrics - Panama

Uh!

Oh yeah!

Ah-huh!

Jump back, what's that sound?

Here she comes, full blast and top down

Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue

Model citizen, zero discipline



Don't ya know she's coming home with me

You'll lose her in that turn

I'll get her!



Panama, Panama

Panama, Panama



Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine

Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean

Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue

Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom



Don't you know she's coming home with me

You'll lose her in that turn

I'll get her

Uh-oh!



Panama, Panama. Wow!

Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh

Woo!



(Guitar Solo)



Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight

I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off

You know what I'm sayin'

Ahh, you reach down put it between my legs n' ease the seat back



She's runnin', I'm flyin'

Right behind in the rearview mirror now

Got the fearin', power steerin'

Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now



Panama, Panama

Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh

Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh

Panama

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

(Gilbert/Hays/Hellerman/Newman/Seeger)



When I was a young man and never been kissed

I got to thinking it over what I had missed.

I got me a girl, I kissed her and then

Oh Lord, I kissed her again.



[Chorus:]

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine



I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,

And we would be so happy the rest of our lives.

I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,

And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand.



[Chorus]



I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,

Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.

With corn in the field and wheat in the bins,

I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins.



[Chorus]



Our children they numbered just about four,

They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.

They all got married and they didn't hesitate;

I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight.



[Chorus]



Now that we're old, and ready to go,

We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.

We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain,

But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again.



(Chorus)

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - With Hope

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[1Thess. 4:13-14 / Heb. 6:9, 10:23]



This is not at all how

We thought it was supposed to be

We had so many plans for you

We had so many dreams

And now you've gone away

And left us with the memories of your smile

And nothing we can say

And nothing we can do

Can take away the pain

The pain of losing you, but...



We can cry with hope

We can say goodbye with hope

'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no

And we can grieve with hope

'Cause we believe with hope

(There's a place by God's grace)

There's a place where we'll see your face again

We'll see your face again



And never have I known

Anything so hard to understand

And never have I questioned more

The wisdom of God's plan

But through the cloud of tears

I see the Father's smile and say well done

And I imagine you

Where you wanted most to be

Seeing all your dreams come true

'Cause now you're home

And now you're free, and...



We have this hope as an anchor

'Cause we believe that everything

God promised us is true, so...



We wait with hope

And we ache with hope

We hold on with hope

We let go with hope

PATRICK HERNANDEZ lyrics - Born To Be Alive

We were born to be alive

We were born to be alive



Born, born to be alive

(Won't you be alive)

You see you were born

Born, born

(Born to be alive)



People ask me why

I never find a place to stop

And settle down, down, down

But I never wanted all those things

People need to justify

Their lives, lives, lives



You see you were

Born, born, born to be alive

(Born to be alive)

You see you were

Born, born, born

(Born to be alive)

It's good to be alive

To be alive

To be alive



It's good to be alive

To be alive

To be alive



It's good to be alive



Time was on my side

When I was running down the street

It was so fine, fine, fine

A suitcase and an old guitar

And something new to occupy

My mind, mind, mind



You see you were born, born

Born to be alive

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born, born

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born

Born to be alive

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born, born

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born

Born to be alive

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born, born

(To be alive)

Born, born to be alive

(Born to be alive)

You see you were born, born, born

(Born to be alive)

Born, born to be alive

RICKY NELSON lyrics - My Blue Heaven

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh

I hurry to my, my blue heaven

A turn to the right, you see a little white light

Will lead you to my, my blue heaven



You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room

A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom

Just baby and me, oh how happy we'll be

Together in my, my blue heaven



You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room

A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom

Just baby and me, oh how happy we'll be

Together in my, my blue heaven

We're happy in my, my blue heaven

We're happy in my, happy in my blue heaven

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - I Don't Want You Around Me Anymore

(Dolly Parton)



You think you're so smart you think that you'd throw my heart

Don't at your feet every time that you walk by

But I, I got news for you cause I don't care for you and

I don't care honey if you love me or not

If you were half as smart as you think you are

The world would be a-standing at your door

But I, I won't be there cause I no longer care and

I don't want you around me anymore



Because you can't have your way you tell me every day

I should grow up stop acting like a child

But I, I think its you that's got some growing to do

And honey I think its gonna take you quite a while



If you were half as smart as you think you are

The world would be a-standing at your door

But I, I won't be there cause I no longer care and

I don't want you around me anymore

VAN MORRISON lyrics - All Work And No Play

(Van Morrison)



All work and no play

Makes Jack a dull chap

When it comes to the crunch

It s too much I've got to stop

No pain and no gain it s driving me insane



I d like to be somewhere else

Like to be all by myself

Like to be down at the beach

Relaxing at the sugar shack

Hot dogs coffee black

Coca cola kicking back



I'm just a wild and crazy guy

But I m tearing at the seams

Before you can say Jack Robinson

I'll be seeing you in my dreams

She's on a blanket with a book

In the shade, white suit



Happy hour at the bar

And I m jamming with some friends

We're up to the same tricks

Drinking cocktails getting our kicks

Later on by the pool

Looking good ah, be cool



There's no craic double back

Moving on down the track

Moving on down the line

Got to chill out in style

Got to ease my troubled mind

Thinking just might be a crime



All work and no play

Makes Jack a dull chap

When it comes to the crunch

It's too much I've got to stop

No pain no gain it's all going

Down the drain

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - You And Me (We Wanted It All)

(C. B.Sager, P. Allen)



[Recorded August 20, 1979, New York]



[intro-strings]



You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all

Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days

We wanted it always



You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high

Never giving in, certain we could win that prize

I should have seen it in your eyes



Look how all our dreams came true

See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you

Through it all, just one thing died

A little thing called love, something deep inside



You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best

Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart

And learn to break each other's heart?



Look how all our dreams came true

See how I've got me, baby, you've got you

Through it all, just one thing died

A little thing called love, something deep inside



You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best

But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame

That we almost made it?



But we wanted it all

Baby, you and me

We wanted it all



Mm., mm, mm

THE TRAMMPS lyrics - Disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn)

(Burn baby burn)

(Burn baby burn)

(Burn baby burn)



To my surprise one hundred storeys high

People getting loose y'all

Getting down on the roof

Folks are screaming out of control

It was so entertaining

When the boogie started to explode

I heard somebody say



(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down



Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

(Burnin)

I couldn't get enough

So I had to self-destruct

The heat was on, rising to the top

Everybody is going strong

And that is when my spark got hot

I heard somebody say



(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down



Up above my head

I hear music in the air

That makes me know

There's a party somewhere



Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

I couldn't get enough

So I had to self-destruct

The heat was on, rising to the top

Everybody is going strong

And that is when my spark got hot

I heard somebody say



(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(Burn baby burn) disco Inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Since Day One

Contrary to popular opinion I'm extremely shy

I'm not the kind of girl who goes for any kind of guy

I seem together yea you always say I'm cool

But baby ooh you know that there is always an exception to the rule



Cause I loved you since day one baby

I thought about it I'd swim the deepest sea

To love you my only lover



You are the answer and you are the deal

You are the driver the smoke and the spoke in the wheel

And I never, no I wouldn't lie

I'm gonna love you until I die



Since day one in my neighborhood

In my little black book, baby in my bed

Since day one in my daddy's car in my love my life

And I'll love you forever



Baby ooh I can't control my passion

I need to be free

I'm not too proud I want you baby

My desire it burns so righteously



I say forever that's a mighty long long time

I go down fast like second nature

Ooh wee baby that's the bottom line

Cause I loved you since day one baby



My knees were weak I loved you forever

I loved you since day one



You are the answer and you are the deal

You are the driver the smoke and the spoke in the wheel

And I never no I wouldn't lie

I'm gonna love you until I die



Since day one in my neighborhood

In my little black book, baby in my bed

Since day one in my daddy's car

In my heart and my soul

And I'll love you forever



Don't you get the feeling that

We've known each other somewhere before

Tenderly through time, Love's a mystery

Then it must be magic, effervescent, laced with passion Filled with ecstasy

Love is calling you, Love's calling me



Since day one...

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Betty & DuPree

(Adapt. & Arranged by Yarrow/Stookey/Travers/Okun)



[Chorus:]

Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings

Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings

May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings,

but if you lose your man it won't bring you anything.



Well Betty told DuPree, "Buy me a diamond ring", yeah

Betty told DuPree, "Buy me a diamond ring"

And DuPree told Betty, "Buy you most anything"



[Chorus]



So DuPree took a pistol and he robbed that jewelry store, yeah

I said DuPree took a 38, he robbed that jewelry store

You know he killed two policemen he left them a-lying on the floor.



Well DuPree in a taxi "Take me to Baltimore"

DuPree in a taxi "Take me to Baltimore"

And when he got to Betty's the sheriff was a-waitin at the door.



You could hear him singin'...



[Chorus]



Now DuPree's in the death house callin' out Betty's name

Oh, DuPree's in the death house callin' out Betty's name

The guard said "DuPree this note from your baby just came."



"I came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"

"came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"

"I love you DuPree, ain't no one gonna take your place!"



[Chorus]

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Beaten To The Punch

You say that you can and then you run to get your mummy

And you're almost beaten to the punch

Looking for the man who sold you the dummy

And you're almost beaten to the punch

Laughing at the older guys who say it's just as well

Saved by the wedding bell

Almost beaten to the punch

You're looking for somebody new that you can knock around

You are almost beaten to the punch

If you've got a head for figures then you'd better count me out

You were almost beaten to the punch

You pulled the piece but you soon called it love

You go hand in glove

Almost beaten to the punch



Your body speaks much louder than your voice

You let it do the talking so I don't have any choice



Now you find the younger guys are putting up resistance

And you're almost beaten to the punch

You better get out now because you'll never go the distance

And you're almost beaten to the punch

You'll find a girl and you'll promise her anything

Even a wedding ring

Almost beaten to the punch

DON HENLEY lyrics - Workin' It

(Don Henley/Frank Simes/Stan Lynch)



Ah, it's open season here my friend

It always is; it always has been

Welcome, welcome to the U. S.A.

We're partying fools in the autumn of our heyday

And though we're running out of everything

We can't afford to quit

Before this binge is over

We've got to squeeze off one more hit

We're workin' it

Workin' it



Soon you will be dancing face-to-face

With the limits of ambition and the scars of the marketplace

Welcome to the land of flame and fizz

Where you will learn that packaging is all that heaven is



We got the little black car, the little black dress

Got the guru, the trainer, the full court press

We got the software, hard drive, CD-ROM

We got the exploitation. com

We got the pager, cell phone, bootleg methaqualone

The media, the message: you are what you own

We got the agent, lawyer, lapdog, voyeur

Talk show, book deal, round mouth, square meal



We're so busy covering our asses, we just can't commit

"Oh, back off, don't bother me, baby

Can't you see I'm workin' it"

Workin' it



It's plain to see Miss Liberty has not yet come of age

But, she loves to feed the animals as long as they're locked up in the cage

And everybody knows the girl's got balls of brass

Aw, kiss my ass



[Solo]



We've got a whole new class of opiates

To blunt the stench of discontent

In these corporation nation-states

Where the loudest live to trample on the least

They say it's just the predatory nature of the beast



But, the barons in the balcony are laughing

And pointing to the pit

They say, "Aw look, they've grown accustomed to the smell

Now, people love that shit

And we're workin' it."

Workin' it



We got the short-term gain, the long-term mess

We got the suffocating, quarterly consciousness

Yes man, run like a thief



New York to Hollywood, hype and glory

Special effects, no story

Yes man, run like a thief



Workin' it

Workin' it



Well, you don't know who the enemy is

You don't know

You don't know who the enemy is



Company man

"Eight for me, one for you"

(Workin' it)

"Very fair"

Business as usual, business as usual

URIAH HEEP lyrics - No Return

(Bolder/Box/Hensley)



I'm at the point of no return

I'm watching the candle burn - both ends

There's a lesson we both can learn - this time

So if you wanna make my day

There's something you've gotta say

Now please don't laugh and turn away - this time

I don't wanna make a fuss

But this is the time for us

And I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time



No return -

So there'll be no turning back once I know that you'll be by my side

No return -

Maybe you'll give me all the love that you always felt you had to hide

No return -

I've come a thousand miles across the ocean

But that ain't half as far as my emotion

And now I reached the point of no return



While on my way down the avenue

I had to stop for a drink or two - or three

Now not that I was stalling you - for time

It's just I wanted to feel my best

And I almost passed the test

I need your lovin' to do the rest - this time



No return -

So please don't ever do what you've done so many times before

No return -

Because I've made up my mind that this time I'll make it thru your door

No return -

I rode above the clouds so far below me

But didn't get as high as when you hold me

And now I've reached the point of no return



I'm at the point of no return

I'm watching the candle burn - both ends

There's a lesson we both can learn - this time

I don't wanna make a fuss

But this is the time for us

I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time

THE ANIMALS lyrics - The House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one



My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new bluejeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans



Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk



[Organ Solo]



Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun



Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain



Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - To Live

Sometimes fly a little high,

Then you know better dig yourself.

Sometimes get a little lost,

Then you know you got to find yourself.

Happens to everyone and Lord, I don't know why.



I want, I want,

I need, I need.

I want, I want to live,

To see it all,

Laugh, touch it all.



Sometimes we say silly things,

And act like two little kids.

Like the tail wagging the dog,

We both get hurt by what was said,

That's okay, that's allright with me,

I'd rather fight with you than lay down and die.



I want, I want,

I need, I need.

I want, I want to live,

To see it all,

Laugh, touch it all.



I want, I want,

I need, I need.

I want, I want to live,

To see it all,

Laugh, touch it all,

To live, to see it all.

MADONNA lyrics - Nothing Really Matters

When I was very young

Nothing really mattered to me

But making myself happy

I was the only one



Now that I am grown

Everything's changed

I'll never be the same

Because of you



[Chorus:]



Nothing really matters

Love is all we need

Everything I give you

All comes back to me



Looking at my life

It's very clear to me

I lived so selfishly

I was the only one



I realize

That nobody wins

Something is ending

And something begins



[chorus, repeat]



Nothing takes the past away

Like the future

Nothing makes the darkness go

Like the light



You're shelter from the storm

Give me comfort in your arms



[chorus, repeat and fade]

MARILLION lyrics - The Space

(Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas/ Dugmore/Harper/Woore)



On top of the world like a flag on a mountain

Feeling so high you can feel so alone

Unable to breathe at the height that you flew

Staring on clouds with no view of below

On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel

Falling towards something out of control

Unable to miss like the man in the tram

Crashing your car in Amsterdam



He did it without knowing, didn't feel a thing

He just wrecked it and kept going



The space around the stars

Is something that you know

A billion miles of darkness

Left your feeling low

The space around the stars

Is something that you know



Everything about you

So perfectly restrained

But everything inside you

Bites you



Everybody in the whole of the world

Feels the same inside

Everybody in the whole of the world



Everyone is only everyone else

Everybody's got to know

Everybody lives and loves and laughs and cries

And eats and sleeps and grows and dies

Everybody in the whole of the world

Is the same this time

Is the same inside

In the whole of the world

CROSBY & NASH lyrics - Michael

(Graham Nash)



[Intro. (Piano)]



I saw you there like a fire in the sky

Then all I knew of you was gone

Except your music that I know will never die

Going on and on, going on and on



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar and Piano)]



In my life you were such a shining star

Burning bright for all to hear

And in the distance is the sound of your guitar

Playing loud and clear, playing loud and clear



Michael, flame on

Michael, bright eye

Michael, shine through

Michael, goodbye



[Ending (Acoustic Guitar)]

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Lonely With A Broken Heart

It's hard to know the way I feel, not knowing if your love is real.

So I won't, upset myself.

Seen you run from man to man, I could hate you but I understand.

And I don't.

I blame myself.

It gets lonely.

Lonely.

Lonely with a broken heart.



It's hard to know what I would say, if you would ever walk away.

But I won't, concern myself.

It's hard to know what I would do, if you would find somebody new.

But I don't.

Upset myself.

It gets lonely.

Lonely.

Lonely with a broken heart.



When I'm thinking of you, baby I still love you.

If you ever need me, baby please believe me.

Lonely.

Lonely.

Lonely with a broken heart.

A broken heart.

A broken heart.

A broken heart.

Yeah!



It's hard to know the way I feel, not knowing if your love is real.

But I won't.

Upset myself.

Seen you run from man to man, I could hate you but I understand.

And I don't.

I blame myself.



When I'm thinking of you, baby I still love you.

If you ever need me, baby please believe me.

Lonely.

Lonely.

Lonely with a broken heart.

(Lonely)

Thinking of you.

(Lonely)

Still I love you.

(Lonely)

With a broken heart.

It gets lonely with a broken heart.

It gets lonely with a broken heart.

A broken heart.

A broken heart.

Yeah!

THE ANIMALS lyrics - Don't Bring Me Down

When you complain, and criticize

I feel I'm nothing in your eyes

It makes me feel like giving up

Because my best just ain't good enough



Girl I want to provide for you

And do all the things you want me to



Oh, oh no, don't bring me down

I'm begin' you darlin'

Oh, oh no, don't bring me down



Sacrifices how we make

I'm ready to give, as well as take

One thing I need is your respect

One thing I can't take is your neglect



Woman anything I need your love

And troubles are easy to rise above



Oh, oh no

Don't bring me down

Oh no, no, no

Oh, oh no

Don't bring me down



You complain, and criticize

I feel I'm nothing in your eyes

It makes me feel like giving up

Because my best just ain't good enough



Girl I want to provide for you

And do all the things you want me to



Oh, oh no, don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no

I'm Beggin'

Oh, oh no, don't bring me down

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Rave On, John Donne

Rave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy fool

Down through the weeks of ages

In the moss borne dark dank pools



Rave on, down through the industrial revolution

Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age

Rave on down through time and space down through the corridors

Rave on words on printed page



Rave on, you left us infinity

And well pressed pages torn to fade

Drive on with wild abandon

Uptempo, frenzied heels



Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass

Rave on fill the senses

On nature's bright green shady path



Rave on Omar Khayyam, Rave on Kahlil Gibran

Oh, what sweet wine we drinketh

The celebration will be held

We will partake the wine and break the Holy bread



Rave on let a man come out of Ireland

Rave on on Mr. Yeats,

Rave on down through the Holy Rosey Cross

Rave on down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn

Rave on through the writing of "A Vision"

Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on



Rave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy fool

Down through the weeks of ages

In the moss borne dark dank pools



Rave on, down though the industrial revolution

Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age

Rave on words on printed page

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Baggage Claim

Got some money in my pocket, got my ticket in my hand

Ain't got time to talk, ain't got time to explain

Ain't gonna ride a Greyhound or a midnight train

I'm goin' by jet propulsion to the promise land

Gonna run down through the terminal, jump over the chain

And make love to my baby in baggage claim



She called me up this mornin', said she needed to see me bad

She was Jonesin' real hard for the love she knew I had

Said she woke up sweatin'; from a dream she had last night

Filled with sexual tension and no relief in sight

She was breathin'; hard and heavin'; like a coal-burnin' train

She said, "Come to me baby before I go insane"



When I get to LAX, I betcha I'm ten-feet tall

Bullet proof and handsome, I'll be wall to wall

Arms around my baby give her all the love I had

We'll be steamin' up the windows in that yellow taxi cab

I got one more thing to do before I let that hammer fall

Hotel operator please hold all my calls

THE RAMONES lyrics - Cretin Hop

There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'

You gotta keep it beatin'

For all the hoppin' cretins



Cretin! Cretin!



I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl

My feet won't stop

Doin' the Cretin Hop

Cretin! Cretin!



1-2-3-4

Cretins wanna hop some more

4-5-6-7

All good cretins go to heaven

Rockaway Beach

Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum

The sun is out and I want some

It's not hard, not far to reach

We can hitch a ride

U. D.O. lyrics - Cry Soldier Cry

Cold wind in the morning

A telegram arrives

Arriving with no warning

Another mother cries



Husbands, sons and brothers

Hailed the call to war

Blinded by the others

The promise - one for all



What's it all in aid of

Obeying the command

Cold and tired and hungry

Dying for some land



Why don't you cry, soldier, cry

Another letter - you should know better

Cry, soldier, cry

There will be sorrow - until tomorrow

So cry, soldier, cry



The fear and all the sadness

Of what it has become

In this world of madness

Another soldier gone



Salute the highest honour

The folding of the flag

Finally the end is

Another bodybag



And all the time your comrades

Their backs against the wall

A band of brothers fighting

One by one they fall

BEE GEES lyrics - I Can't Let You Go

Do you love me women, truly do ya?

Can you feel this feeling going through ya?

Are you of the mind that we should live together through this night?

Or tell me you're my virgin queen and it may not be right.



But don't make me say, I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down

Just thinking of your face and it won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside, stealing my pride

I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down 'cause you won't be around



When all this world of ours is falling apart

I'll keep on hanging on and fixing my heart

'Cause ev'ryone is just like me they're praying in the sun

And I may be that lucky man surviving when they're gone



But don't make me say, I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down

Just thinking of your face and it won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside, stealing my pride

I can't let you go

And it's breaking me down 'cause you won't be around

Just look at me now

I feel a stranger inside, stealing my pride

I can't let you, can't let you go

And it's breaking my down 'cause you won't be around



Just look at me now, I can't let you go

Just look at me now, I can't let you go

Just look at me now, I can't let you go

Just look at me now, I can't let you go (fade out)

Make money off crackers; can you imagine how I keep shit crackin?

It's the big boss Dogg I'm back in action and smashin

I flash with the bling I sur-pass the supreme

You don't really wanna have a clash with my team

I mix hash with the green I'm the, last of the kings

If I got a bitch with me she got ass in them jeans

Rollin through yo' neighborhood, my Cadillac so clean

Servin all you suckers cause you all dopefiends

Just like that dopeman, nigga what's up?

You run up with that bullshit I'll fuck yo' ass up

Fuck these devils, and they laws (YEAH!)

Never question the size of Ice Cube's balls

DIO lyrics - Challis (Marry The Devil's Daughter)

I am a rock

And you are glass

Never broken - never last

And if you're in my way I'll knock you down



If it's a joke

I'll never laugh

Here's exactly how I see you in the light



You're like a tear in the ocean

Dust in the wind

Like a stone in the water

I'm gonna sleep with the devil's daughter



I am your shock

I am your shame

Another face without a name

And if you think I'm angry just come over



I need to tell

Just who you are

My description of the world I've seen so far



You're like a tear in the ocean

Dust in the wind

Like a stone in the water

I might marry the devil's daughter



I am a rock

And you are glass

If it's a joke

Nobody laugh

And even - When you know you're guilty still you're right



You're like a tear in the ocean

Dust in the wind

Like a stone in the water



Like a spark in the fire

Dust in the sand

Like a stone in the water

I'm gonna run with the devil's daughter

Run, run, run, run, run away!



Require, explanation. What is love?

Who is love? When is love? Where is love? Why is love?

YUSUF ISLAM lyrics - Roadsinger

Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat,

People stood and stared, then closed their doors

As he passed

He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans

Then the panting dogs began to bark

As the Roadsinger sang



Where do you go? Where do you go?

When hearts are closed

When a friend becomes a stranger,

Nobody wants to know.

Where do you go? Oh, where do you go?

When the world turns dark

And the light of truth is blown out

And the roads are blocked.



He stopped by a store, between the barrels and sacks,

A child's face peeped out and gave a smile

And ran back

Behind a misty glass, on a window pane,

A little finger drew a perfect heart

And her name



Where do you go? Where do you go?

In a world filled with fright;

Only a song to warm you,

Through the night

Where do you go? Oh, where do you go?

After lies are told,

And the light of truth is blown out,

And the night is cold.



Roadsinger rode on, to another land

Though the people spoke a different tongue,

They'd understand

They showed him how to share and took him by the hand

Showed him the path to heaven

Through the desert sand



Where do you go? Where do you go?

To find happiness,

In a world filled with hatred,

And tears.

Where do you go? Oh, where do you go?

If no one cares

And everybody's lost,

Looking for theirs.

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Music Speaks Louder Than Words

(Payne/Pease/Scarpiello)



[Chorus:]

Music speaks louder than words

It's the only thing that the whole world listens to.

Music speaks louder than words,

When you sing, people understand.



Sometimes the love that you feel inside

Gets lost between your heart and your mind

And the words don't really say the things you wanted them to.

But then you feel in someone's song

What you'd been trying to say all along

And somehow with the magic of music the message comes through.



[Chorus]



The longer I live the more I find that people seldom take the time

To really get to know a stranger and make him a friend.

But the power of a simple song can make everybody feel they belong.

Maybe singin' and playin' can bring us together again.

Singin' and playin' can bring us together again.



[Chorus]



That music speaks louder than words



[Chorus]

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - I'm Not Scared Anymore

When I'm lying in the arms of the woman I love,

I'm completely at peace with the world,

And the dark clouds around me that often surround me,

Just fall away into the night, I'm not scared anymore;



When I can't sleep at night and I just stare at the moon,

Listening to your beating heart,

To know that you're with me, and the love that you give me,

Keeps me from falling apart, I'm not scared anymore;



You are near, you are here;



When I think about the ways of the other world,

And all the ones who've gone before,

Well I believe they can see us, believe they are with us,

Hear every word that we speak, I'm not scared anymore,



Oooh - they hear every word that we say,

Oooh - when I have my lover with me,

I'm not scared anymore, I'm not scared anymore;



When I'm looking at my children and the world where we live,

And the violence coming every day,

Well I know I'll protect them with the power of my love,

To the very last drop of my blood, I'm not scared anymore;



Can you hear me, I am near,

Can you see me, I am here;



When I'm lying in the arms of the woman I love,

I'm completely at peace with the world,

I'm not scared anymore,

I'm not scared anymore,

I'm not scared anymore.

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Flaming Pie

Making love underneath the bed

Shooting stars from a purple sky

I don't care how I do it

I'm the man on the flaming pie



Stick my tongue out and lick my nose

Tuck my shirt in and zip my fly

Go ahead, have a vision

I'm the man on the flaming pie



Everything I do has a simple explanation

When I'm with you, you could do with a vacation

I took my brains out and stretched 'em on a rack

Now I'm not so sure I'm ever gonna get 'em back



Cut my toes off to spite my feet

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Never mind, check my rhythm

I'm the man on the flaming pie



I'm the man on the flaming pie

Everything I do has a simple explanation

When I'm with you, you could do with a vacation

I took my brains out and stretched on a rack

Now I'm not so sure I'm ever gonna get em back

CHICAGO lyrics - Must Have Been Crazy

(Written by: Donnie "Hot Licks" Dacus)



She's fine, so fine

And I think I'm going to lose my mind

So high, so high,

You know you make me want to

Scream and shout

Well, you know I'm like a fool

Who's just got to have a reason

You know that I've found mine

Must have been crazy

Must have been crazy, yeah

Must have been crazy

To have done this so long

This time, it's time

Every singer's got to sing his song

So fine, it's fine

You know you make me want to

Sing along

'Cause you know I'm not a fool

Got to find a piece of heaven

You know that I found mine

Must have been crazy

Must have been crazy, yeah

Must have been crazy

To have done this so long

'Cause you know I'm not a fool

Got to find a piece of heaven

You know that I found mine

Must have been crazy

Must have been crazy, yeah

Must have been crazy

To have done this so long

JOHN PRINE lyrics - We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds

(Melba Montgomery)



We said our goodbyes long ago

Never thinking we'd miss each other so

All the memories we can't leave behind

Oh, we must have been out of our minds



I thought I loved another, not you

How foolish I thought the same, too

They both turned out to be the wrong kind

Oh, we must have been out of our minds



Let's forgive and forget the past we've known

And reap together the wild seeds we've sown

Surely they can forgive us and find

That we must have been out of our minds



I thought I loved another, not you

How foolish I thought the same, too

They both turned out to be the wrong kind

Oh, we must have been out of our minds

Yes, we must have been out of our minds

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Bad Influence

(Robert Cray and Mike Vannice)



You use me to get you anything you wanted.

Oh, but I'm a changed man now, baby,

And your other friend can get you what you want now.

If I go through those same things again,

I'll be worse off than I started.



[Chorus:]

Girl, you're such a bad influence

And you've got ways to make me do what you want.

Girl, you're such a bad influence;

I've got to stay away.



I've been hurt in all of the worst kind of ways,

And it's you pretty baby,

I've just got to stay away from.

I won't go through those same things again;

I'm so glad that we parted.



[Chorus]



Somebody please, you've got to help me break away.

You know I don't like this lonely feeling.

It wasn't meant to be this way.

I won't go through those same things again;

I'm so glad we parted.



[Chorus]



You're such a bad influence;

And I have got to stay away.

You're such a bad influence;

I've got to stay away from you, baby.

I've got to stay away.

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Julie Through The Glass

(Carly Simon)



Julie through the glass

Lookin' up at me

You've just got to be

The sweetest thing I've ever seen.



Julie through the glass

Just born a day ago

And who knows where you've been

And where you're gonna go.



We want you to love the world

To know it well and play a part

And we'll help you to learn to love yourself

'Cause that's where loving really starts.



Julie through the glass

I'm looking forward to

Doing things with you

For many years to come.

ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Willow Song

Did you see him there by the willows bending?

The moon's white shots fell like rain from on high

The love from his eyes floated, rivers unending

Into the sands where the spring of our hearts had run dry



Did you see him there and hear his soft calling?

The love sweet song rising from bottomless pain

The lord of our woes, on his wide shoulders falling

He bears in his mercy to break hatred's reign



Did you see him there in the ages of song?

His truth too simple for man to endure

I long to die for him there and I could not

And the dawns treat the sky with rose and azure



Did you see him there?

Did you see him there?

Did you see him there?

Did you see him there? ... there

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Under The Bridge

Sometimes I feel

Like I don't have a partner

Sometimes I feel

Like my only friend

Is the city I live in

The city of angels

Lonely as I am

Together we cry



I drive on her streets

'Cause she's my companion

I walk through her hills

'Cause she knows who I am

She sees my good deeds

And she kisses me windy

I never worry

Now that is a lie



I don't ever want to feel

Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love

Take me all the way



It's hard to believe

That there's nobody out there

It's hard to believe

That I'm all alone

At least I have her love

The city she loves me

Lonely as I am

Together we cry



I don't ever want to feel

Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love

Take me all that way



Under the bridge downtown

Is where I drew some blood

Under the bridge downtown

I could not get enough

Under the bridge downtown

Forgot about my love

Under the bridge downtown

I gave my life away

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Big Boss Man

(Smith - Dixon)



Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Can't you hear me when I call?

Well you ain't so big, you know you're just tall that's all, All right

Well you got me workin' boss man

Workin' round the clock

I wanna little drink of water

But you won't let big Al stop

Big boss man now can't you hear me when I call? All right

I said you ain't so big, you know you're just tall that's all



Big boss man, why can't you hear me when I call? All right

You know you ain't so big, I said you're just tall that's all, All right

I'm gonna get me a boss man

One who's gonna treat me right

I work hard in the day time

Rest easy at night

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Can't you hear me when I call?

I said you ain't so big, you're just tall that's all

I'm gonna get me a boss man

One that's gonna treat me right

I work hard in the evenin'

Rest easy at night

Big boss man, big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

I said you ain't so big, you're just tall that's all

All right, big boss man

It's all right

CARLY SIMON lyrics - You Belong To Me

(Carly Simon/Michael McDonald)



Why'd you tell me this

Were you looking for my reaction

What do you need to know

Don't you know I'll always be your girl

You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers

I've got loving eyes of my own



[Chorus:]

You belong to me

Tell her you were fooling

You don't even know her

Tell her that I love you



You belong to me

Can it be, honey, that you're not sure

You belong to me

Thought we'd closed the book - locked the door

You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers

I've got loving eyes of my own

And I can tell - I can tell darling

Tell her - tell her that I love you



You belong - you belong - you belong to me

Tell her you were fooling

Tell her she don't even know you

Tell her you were fooling

I know you from a long time ago, baby

Don't leave me to go to her now

You belong to me.

BONEY M lyrics - Heart Of Gold

I want to live,

I want to give

I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

All these expressions I never give

That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.



I want to live,

I want to give

I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

All these expressions I never give

That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.



I've been to Hollywood

I've been to Redwood

I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line

That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.



Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

Been a miner for a heart of gold.

Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.



Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

Been a miner for a heart of gold.

Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

Been a miner for a heart of gold.

Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

Been a miner for a heart of gold.

Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold



Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Long Distance Call

(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)



You say you love me darlin',

Please, call me on the phone sometime

You say you love me darlin',

Please, call me on the phone sometime

When I hear your voice,

Ease my worried mind



One of these days,

I'm gonna show you how nice a man can be

One of these days,

I'm gonna show you just how nice a man can be

I'm gonna buy you a brand, new Cadillac,

If you only speak some good words about me



Hear my phone ringin',

Sound like a long distance call

Hear my phone keep ringin',

Sound like a long distance call

When I picked up my receiver,

The party said another mule kickin' in your stall

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Sunny

Sunny,

Yesterday my life was filled with rain.

Sunny,

You smiled at me and really eased the pain.

The dark days are gone,

And the bright days are here,

My Sunny one shines so sincere.

Sunny one so true,

I love you.



Sunny,

Thank you for the sunshine bouquet.

Sunny,

Thank you for the love you brought my way.

You gave to me your all and all.

Now I feel ten feet tall.

Sunny one so true,

I love you.



Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.

Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.

My life was torn like a windblown sand,

And the rock was formed when you held my hand.

Sunny one so true,

I love you.



Sunny



Sunny,

Thank you for the smile upon your face.

Sunny,

Thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.

You're my spark of nature's fire,

You're my sweet complete desire.

Sunny one so true,

I love you.

Yesterday my life was filled with rain.

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Lemon And Lime

(Gouldman)



Mr Brown: Lemon and lime

Turn of the time

Or five for a couple of bob.

Good for a cold

You'll never grow old

For wheezing there just the job.



Around the corner

In the market square

Thats the spot to make your pitch.

Around the corner

Put your barrel there

That the place where you'll get rich.



Carrots and spuds

Jeffers and bloods

They're lovely, ripe and sweet.

Let it out loud

Pull a big crowd

To value they can't be beat.



Around the corner

In the market square

Thats the spot to make your pitch.



Leck: Around the corner

Put your barrel there

That the place where you'll get rich.



Pippens with pips

These are the tips

On how to make punters punt



Keith: Give them a schpeal

Polish the peel

And put the good one's up front.

Around the corner

In the market square

Thats the spot to make your pitch.



Mr Brown & Keith: around the corner

Put your barrel there

That the place where you'll get rich.



Mr Brown: Peas in their pods

Never lay odds



Mr Brown & Barry: Aware of the golden thumb



Mr Brown: Press down the scale

You'll go to jail

The costomers are tom thumb



Everyone: Around the corner

In the market square

Thats the spot to make your pitch.

Around the corner

Put your barrel there

That the place where you'll get rich.



Mr Brown & Karl: Play it my way

Make the game pay

Tell them what they want to hear

Serve with a smile

Cut for the pile

After you've sold the idea.



Mr Brown & Herman: Lemon and lime

Turn of the time

Or five for a couple of bob.

Good for a cold

You'll never grow old

For wheezing there just the job.



Around the corner

In the market square

Thats the spot to make your pitch.

Around the corner

Put your barrel there

That the place where you'll get riiiiich.

CELINE DION lyrics - The Magic Of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

It's the season to be jolly

And be thankful for all that we have

All the lights and decorations

Put up in the anticipation

Of the joyful celebration

That's on its way

We're counting the days

'Til it's time for Christmas day



Oh and God bless us everyone

The good and the bad

The happy; the sad

Oh and God bless us everyone

Here's to family and friends

It's good to be here again



On the streets there's children laughing

People smile as they are passing

Christmas time is here, our waiting is done

Wishing it could last forever

Not just twelve days in December

Through the year let's try to remember

That special way

That everyone feels

It's the magic of Christmas day



Oh and God bless us everyone

The good and the bad

The happy; the sad

Oh and God bless us everyone

Here's to family and friends

It's good to be here again



So fill your heart with love and joy

And through the eyes of girls and boys

Share their wonder, live through their joy

It's easy to do, just open your heart

The spirit will come to you



Oh and God bless us everyone

The good and the bad

The happy; the sad

Oh and God bless us everyone

Here's to family and friends

It's good to be here again

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Blue Kentucky Girl

(Johnny Mullins)



You left me for the bright lights of the town

A country boy set out to see the world

Remember when those neon lights shine down

That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl



I swear I love you by the moon above you

How bright is it shining in your world

Some morning when you wake up all alone

Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl



Don't wait to bring great riches home to me

I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls

Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need

That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl



I swear I love you by the moon above you

How bright is it shining in your world

Some morning when you wake up all alone

Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl

Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl

10CC lyrics - Feel The Love (Oomachasaooma)

I saw you so pretty

Your face lit up the city

Two worlds came together

The memory stays for evermore

So different your fashion

You were the main attraction

Heads turning in wonder

I felt myself go under

(Oomachasaooma...)

`Ooh I'm a drowning man

Save me please

I need you so give me a helping hand

Nothing can stop you when you

Feel the love

No chains can hold you when you

Feel the love

Don't try to fight it when you

Feel the love

Nobody matters but the one you love

My intro I fumble

My facade starts to crumble

So strange your reaction

I made the right connection now

You got me no bother

I can't see any other

The world keeps on turning

I wouldn't care if it was burning

(Oomachasaooma...)

`Ooh I'm a drowning man

Save me please

I need you so give me a helping hand

Nothing can stop you when you

Feel the love

No chains can hold you when you

Feel the love

Don't try to fight it when you

Feel the love

Nobody matters but the one you love

It's a million to one

You should find the right door

But there's no guarantee

You'll find what you're looking for

Don't give up if you blow it the first time around

But you've got to beware

If you're walking on air

Keep your feet on the ground

(Keep your feet on the ground)

Don't stop me I'm not dreaming

I can't ignore this feeling

Your love is my lifeline

You're so right so fine so glad you're mine

(Oomachasaooma...)

`Ooh I'm a drowning man

Save me please

I need you so give me a helping hand

Nothing can stop you when you

Feel the love

No chains can hold you when you

Feel the love

Don't try to fight it when you

Feel the love

Nobody matters but the one you love

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Pack It Up

You guys are the pits of the world!



Oh, this is no place for me

Burnin' down the interbelt, from jacuzzi to jacuzzi

It's all right for you man

Gettin' smashed, gettin' suntanned

But i know my place

Where's my suitcase?



Pack it up or throw it away

What i can't carry, bury

Oh you remember me, i remember you

But that was a long, long time ago

When i was passin' through



All my family, all my friends, my lover

I got to find them

My enemies, my new family, my new friends

My future enemies, i got to flush them out



Pack it all up, nothing goes in storage

I'm burnin' every bridge

Burn, baby, burn

I see your dog got shot

Well, hell, never mind

That's show biz, big boy

You've got to be cruel to be kind



Oh, give over and admit it

I've been tearing down the interstate

Like some kind of bleeding cat

It's all right for the boss

His gain's my loss

That gets me down, it really gets me down



So pack it up and cut the crap

When the clock starts talkin', i start walkin'

When you pass in your porsche

Please don't offer me a ride

I may be a skunk

But you're a piece of junk, and furthermore

I don't like your trousers

Your appalling taste in women

And what about your mind

Your insipid record collection

That dumb home video center

The usual pronography

And all you scumbags around the world

You're the pits of the world!
