L. L. COOL J lyrics - Going Back To Cali

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali.. hmm, I don't think so

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so



Going back to Cali, stylin, profilin

Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun

The top is down, on the black Corvette

And it's fly, cause it's sittin on Dayton's

Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top

and three girls waiting

VRRRROOM engine's blowin, the chrome, is shining

Passing all the cars on the way

Movement of the wind, back wheels spin

Pop in a cassette and push play



I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali - yea y'all, I don't think so

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali..



I'm going back to Cali, shakin 'em, bakin 'em

Takin 'em to spots they never before hung

?? the place, on Sunset it's a trip

Where the A. C.'s cold, and the girls still strip

The record skip, but this girl kept dancin

Prancin, grindin, grinnin, romancin

I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay

I wanna do this, Brutus, but I don't wanna pay



I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali - no man I don't think so

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali..

..



I'm going back to Cali, rising, surprising

Advising realizing, she's sizing me up

Her bikini - small; heels - tall

She said, she liked, the ocean

She showed me a beach, gave me a peach

and pulled out the suntan lotion

Now I thought that was fast, but this girl was faster

She's lookin for a real good time

I said, "Close your eyes, I got a surprise,"

and I ran away with the bottle of wine



I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali

I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - No Surrender

We busted out of class had to get away from those fools

We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school

Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound

I can feel my heart begin to pound you say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down



We made a promise we swore we'd always remember no retreat no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend, no retreat no surrender



Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold, we swore blood brothers against the wind. I'm ready to grow young again and hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards well maybe we could cut someplace of our own with these drums and these guitars



We made a promise we swore we'd always remember

no retreat, no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend no retreat no surrender



Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim the walls of my room are closing in

There's a war outside still raging

You say it ain't ours anymore to win

I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed with a wide open country in my eyes and these romantic dreams in my head

VINCE GILL lyrics - The Lonesome River

(Ralph Stanley, Carter Stanley)



I sit here alone on the banks of the river

The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high

I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness

I sit here alone too lonesome to cry



Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no one to love or kiss me goodnight



We met there one night by the banks of the river

Sat there holding hands and making our vows

Swore we'd never part and be happy together

But a new love she's found she's gone from me now

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Summer (The First Time)

It was a hot afternoon

the last day of June,

and the sun was a demon.

The clouds were afraid.

One ten in the shade,

and the pavement was steamin'.



I told Billy Ray

in his red chevrolet

I needed time for some thinkin'.

He was just passing by

when I caught that boy's eye,

and I swore it was winkin'.



I was thirty-one,

he was seventeen.

He knew nothing about love.

I knew everything.

But he sat right down

on the front porch swing,

and I wondered what the

coming night would bring.



Sun closed my eyes,

climbed to the skies.

It was starting to swelter.

The sweat trickled down

the front of my gown.

I thought it would melt me.



I threw back my hair

like he wasn't there

and I sipped, oooh, something coolin'.

My shoulders bare,

he tried not to stare,

whoa, but I knew I wasn't foolin'.



I looked deep into those eyes of blue,

I said, "Boy, I know you're young,

don't know what to say or do.

But stay with me 'til the sun goes away

and I will chase the boy in you away!"



Guess you know why

that kid caught my eyes,

oooh, and why the memory still lingers.

Go back in my mind

to the very first time,

ooh-ooh-ooh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers.

I go back in my mind

to the very first time

oh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers.

And go, I go back in my mind

to the very first time I felt. . .



I go back in my mind

to the very first time

I felt the touch

of somebody's fingers.

The first time.

The first time.

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - To You

(Music by Thad Jones - Lyrics by Jon Hendricks)



To you my very heart and soul

Everyday my very heart

Very heart and soul

I give to you

You never know of giving

Until you give yourself

I do - To you

To you the very life I live I give to you

Very life I live

My deep devotion

My every thought and feeling, too

I give, I do

All my love, all my life to you



I've never known a day of strife

Since you entered my life

My care and my sorrow had me everyway

Before we met, I was tryin'

But my livin' felt like dyin'

To you I give all of my heart and my very soul

The life I'm living

Yes, I'm giving everything to you

It's true, really true

You know that it's true

All my love, all my life I live

I want to give to you

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - For America

As if I really didn't understand

That I was just another part of their plan

I went off looking for the promise

Believing in the Motherland

And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed

And the safety of my own head

I went on speaking of the future

While other people fought and bled

The kid I was when I first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for America

I was made for America

It's in my blood and in my bones

By the dawn's early light

By all I know is right

We're going to reap what we have sown



As if freedom was a question of might

As if loyalty was black and white

You hear people say it all the time-

"My country wrong or right"

I want to know what that's got to do

With what it takes to find out what's true

With everyone from the President on down

Trying to keep it from you



The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms

Who send their sons to the Vietnams

Will they really think their way of life

Has been protected as the next war comes?

I have prayed for America

I was made for America

Her shining dream plays in my mind

By the rockets red glare

A generation's blank stare

We better wake her up this time



The kid I was when I first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for America

I was made for America

I can't let go till she comes around

Until the land of the free

Is awake and can see

And until her conscience has been found

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

Loneliness

Well it's the coat you wear

It's a deep shade of blue

And it's always there



The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies

The tears are always clouding your eyes

When you're without love



Emptiness

It's the place you're in

With no more to lose but no more to win



The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies

The tears are always clouding your eyes

When you're without love



Lonely,

Without you, baby

Oh, I need you

I can't go on



The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies

The tears are always clouding your eyes

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore



The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies

The tears are always clouding your eyes

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Goodnight Sweetheart

Goodnight sweetheart

Til we meet tomorrow

Goodnight sweetheart

Sleep will vanish sorrow

Tears and parting may make us forlorn

But with the dawn a new day is born

Goodnight sweetheart

Though I'm not beside you

Goodnight sweetheart

Still my love will guide you

Dreams will enfold you

In each one I'll hold you

Goodnight sweetheart

Dreams will enfold you

In each one I'll hold you

Goodnight sweetheart goodnight

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Love, You're So Beautiful Tonight

As night falls around us love's tender embrace replaces the sun's golden light

Then love show us beauty that only love can describe love you're so beautiful tonight

As you fill our hearts with tenderness and emotions inside

Lost in each other with the world closed outside

Oh this must be like heaven it's heaven to you and I love you're so beautiful tonight



Your nearness in the silence your rapid heartbeat

Your face touching mine then you whisper on my cheek

I'll love you till the stars in the heavens lose their lights

Oh love you're so beautiful tonight

As you fill our hearts...

I'll love you till the stars...

BAD COMPANY lyrics - With You In A Heartbeat

I had your picture, I had it there on the wall

It's been a long time, I didn't notice it fall

Just goes to show you, things get strange, there's nothin', nothin' I can do

You got your own life, I got mine, I still got feelings for you



And I wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right

Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight

If you call me tonight



Chorus:

I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name

And I'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame

And I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name



I got no answers, sometimes I just wanna shout

Which way to turn now, can't seem to figure this out

I haven't seen you in oh so long, nothin', nothin' seems to fade

Tried to forget you, but you won't go, ooh the memories we made



And I tried so hard to fight it, but it keeps comin' through

Ooh you were all I ever wanted, I'm waiting for you, if you wanted me too



chorus



(Solo)



And I wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right

Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight

If you call me tonight



chorus repeats out...

PHISH lyrics - My Sweet One

My sweet one, I'll call you my sweet one

You're my only true sweet one

With my all, I'll call you my sweet one

From far away, I'll say your name



Oh with you, I'd travel thick

And with you, I'd also travel thin

And all the spaces in between

I'd travel with you

You're my sweet one



But for now I must sit jail here and ponder the yonder

Herbivores ate well cause their food didn't never run



Oh, if You're ever unsatisfied with the way life's treating You

You know You can count on me to take good care of You

I love you honey oh yes I do You know that's true of course

And if your dog or cat ever dies, I'll buy You a Ewe

STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Go Back Home

Think I'll go back home

Think I'll go back home

Think I'll go back home



Back where I belong

Think I'll go back home



Nothin' for me here

Nothin' for me here, child, no there ain't

Nothin' for me here



People trapped by fear

And you can't get near



Lived with you I felt

Lived with you I felt, child

Lived with you I felt



I was by myself

I was someone else



Babe, come home with me

Babe, come home with me now

Babe, come home with me



And I'll make you see

Yes, I'm gonna set you free



When I woke up this morning

I found that I was alone, yeah

Till I called your number

They told me there's no one home again



Well, baby, what does it mean?

Is it like it seems?

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Let It Rain

(Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton)



The rain is falling through the mist

Of sorrow that surrounded me.

The sun could never thaw away

The the bliss that lays around me.



[Chorus:]

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let your love rain down on me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let it rain, rain, rain.



Her life was like a desert flower

Burning in the sun.

Until I found the way to love,

It's harder said than done.



[Chorus]



Now I know the secret;

There is nothing that I lack.

If I give my love to you,

You'll surely give it back.



[Chorus]

EUROPE lyrics - Spirit Of The Underdog

Seen you round I know your face

Watched you try to grow up with grace

Seen that heart out on your sleeve

Like it's so much life you're dying to feel dying to feel



Cause if you got to steal you've got to steal the show

It's the spirit of the underdog

And if you got to break you've got to break the mould

It's the spirit of the underdog



I've seen you reach that main event

And make it look like an accident

Your need for love can't be replaced

Just put away at least for today at least for today



Cause if you got to steal you've got to steal the show

It's the spirit of the underdog

And if you got to break you've got to break the mould

It's the spirit of the underdog

HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - But It's Alright

You don't know how I feel

You'll never know how I feel

When I needed you to come around

You always try to put me down

Well I know, girl, believe me when I say that

You are surely, surely gonna pay, girl



But it's all right, all right girl

You can hurt me but it's all right

Hey now, one day ah, you will see

You'll never find a guy like me

Who'll love you right both day and night

You'll never have to worry 'cause it's alright



Oh, but I'm tellin' you girl and I know it's true

That I was made to love only you



But it's all right, all right girl

You can hurt me, but it's all right

Go on, yeah



Oh, oh, yeah

My my my baby, wow, yeah!



I said it's all right, all right girl

Hey, now it's all right, all right girl

Now there's one thing I wanna say, hey, yeah

You'll meet a guy who'll make you pay

He'll treat you bad and make you sad

And you will ruin the love you had

Oh, but I hate to say I told you so, but

Baby, you gotta gotta reap what you sow, girl



But it's all right all right girl

You are payin' now, but it's all right



Goodbye, love

Goodbye, girl

You're payin' now, say bye-bye

You hurt me once, you hurt me twice

Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice

THE CHURCH lyrics - Distant X Unseen

[Invisible]



Sitting in the shadows and the evening oscillating

Feeling light and feeling like it's a-gonna change

Hoping for a moment for some gentle consolation

Waiting at the station where the treats are out of range



She's sitting in a carriage being jostled by the motion

Overhearing conversation, the grinding of the steel

Scenes fly past the curtains that the darkness paints uncertain

And memories are meaningless, her motives are concealed



Through countrysides and mountains and the village by the ocean

Where the stranger's waiting for her in the plushness of his car

Winding and rewinding, pushing all directions

Till the limit of implosions, which is never very far



All I ever wanted to see

Was just invisible to me



Out there in the distance the horizon meets resistance

The summer falls down drunken on the longest of the days

Rushing past the ruins of the churches and the Porsches

Reflected in the mirrors and the echoes in the haze



He drums impatient fingers on the chrome and on the leather

Running through the reasons in the corners of his mind

Sifting tiny diamonds on his shaky mental islands

Where he often claims asylum from the structures left behind



All I ever wanted to see

Was just invisible to me



The wind blows through the headstones and the maelstrom's making music

The melody reminds us the girl's still far away

Asleep in her compartment, dreaming of the darkness

As the train speeds on the darkness to the approaching day



All I ever wanted to see

Was just invisible to me

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Breathe

I heard a rumour

They travel far

You know what it's like

The way people are

They talk and they talk

Though they don't understand

They'll whisper and whisper

And lie on demand

Please tell me now

I want to know

I have to hear it from your lips

Say it's not so



I heard it on Monday

And I laughed a while

I heard it on Tuesday

I managed to smile

I heard it on Wednesday

My patience was tried

I heard it on Thursday

And I hurt inside

I want to know

The depths of your mind

Tell me this whole thing is madness

And we're doing fine

Put your little hand in mine

And believe in love

Put your head on my chest

And breathe love

Breathe love

Breathe love

Breathe love



I heard it from Peter

Who heard it from Paul

Who heard it from someone

I don't know at all

I heard it from Mary

Who heard it from Ruth

Who swore on the bible

She's telling the truth

I heard it from Simon

Who heard it from James

Confirming with Sarah

That I was to blame

I heard it from Joseph

Who heard it from John

Who said with conviction

That all hope was gone

So I need to know

Your alibis

I need to hear that you love me

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye

ZZ TOP lyrics - Thunderbird

Get high, everybody, get high.

Get high, everybody, get high.

Get High, Everybody, Get High.

Really makes you loose loose, loose,

Really goes down so smooth,

Really puts you in the groove.

Have you heard? What's the word?

It's thunderbird.



Get hi-hi-high,

Way up in the sky.

Gonna get, yes sirree,

If ya come and rock with me.

Have you heard? What's the word?

It's thunderbird.

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Beat The Retreat

(Richard Thompson)



I'm beating my retreat

Back home to you

I'm beating my retreat

Back home to you

I'm burning all my bridges

I'm burning all my bridges

I'm burning all my bridges

I'm running back home to you



I'm trailing my colours

Back home to you

I'm trailing my colours

Back home to you

This world is filled with sadness

This world is filled with sadness

This world is filled with sadness

I'm running back home to you



I'll follow the drum

Back home to you

I'll follow the drum

Back home to you

There was no joy in my leaving

There was no joy in my leaving

There was no joy in my leaving

I'm running back home to you

THE CHURCH lyrics - Grind (Acoustic Version)

The whine in your hand is worth two at the bar

And everybody knows what you've been drinking

Disgraceful night flecked in a nightmare of stars

And everybody knows how you've been syncing



Long distance century buzzes and fades

I wonder why you've not resigned

Previews, processions and parades

We've got to grind, grind it out

We've got to grind, grind it out



Line up the arrows, push off the top

This can cause sustain forever

And once it's started up, it cannot be stopped

At least it's holding us together



Long distance century buzzes and fades

An automatic charge on your mind

The glittering minutes, jangled decades

We've got to grind, grind it out

I've got to grind, grind it out



A vortex appears, unleashed by the crash

A moment marred by hesitation

Bedazzled surgeon chases the gash

And we don't need that operation



Long distance century buzzes and fades

Elysian Fields not far behind

Now find me a witness amongst these shades

They've got to grind, grind it out

They've got to grind, grind it out



Long distance century buzzes and fades

I hope the deaf can lead the blind

Lift me up into those whirling blades

I've got to grind, grind it out

I've got to grind, grind it out

We've got to grind, grind it out

We've got to grind, grind it out

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Wicked Annabella

In a dark and misty house,

Where no Christian man has been,

Wicked Annabella mixes a brew

That no one's ever seen.



Relatives have passed her by,

Too scared to even say hello.

She's in perpetual midnight,

She shuts out the day,

And goes about her sinful ways.



I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face,

Look towards mine.

I, I've felt her eyes burning my sole,

Twisting my mind.



Little children who are good

Should always go to sleep at night,

'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky

Hopin' they will open their eyes.



Don't go into woods tonight,

'Cause underneath the sticks and stones

Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella

Waiting just to carry you home

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - The Non-Conformist Marching Song

Hold the line, staunch non-conformist

We've a sacred rendezvous

To you breast clutch tightly your list

Things we're non-conforming to



Banners high we'll make demands for

Changing every thing we see

Down with all society stands for

Speak your mind, it's a free country



Better to exist in our private abyss

Then dwell with the socially rotten

Our abuse never stops

We must pay off the cops

Or we won't have abyss to pot in



Glossy eyed we stand forever

In agreement through and through

Non-conforming all together

For the grand red, white and green



[Spoken: (Hum In Background)]

I can see it now, ah yes

Waiting for us just over the horizon

A land where men, women and others

Can walk together hand in hand

Toward a better tomorrow

A land where we can all grow beards

(Hooray!)

And wear open-toed shoes

(Hooray!)

And we'll let our hair grow long

(Hooray!)

And use "Hip" words

(Hip, Hooray!)

And if there's one guiding creed

One word that will sum up

All we would gladly die for

I know that word must surely be

"Individuality"

(Rah! Rah! Rah!)



[Sung:]

Hold the line staunch non-conformists

Pay no heed to words of jeer

To you breast clutch tightly your list

Things we're non-conforming to

This year

THE WHO lyrics - Sunrise

You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Once more you'll disappear

My morning put to shame



You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Once more you'll disappear

My morning put to shame



Sometimes I fear that this will go on my life through

Each day I spend in an echoed vision of you

And then again I'll turn down love

Remembering your smile

My every day is spent

Thinking of you all the while



The times I've let myself down

My head's spinning 'round

My eyes see only you

The chances I've lost

Opportunities tossed

Away and into the blue



You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Then again you'll disappear

My morning put to shame

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Frogger

(Nice going, spazz)

I'm tired of this city, all this toil and strife.

Trying to cross the boulevard, playing Frogger with my life.

Frogger with my life [x2]

I'm tired of this city, all this toil and strife.

Trying to cross the boulevard, playing Frogger with my life.

Frogger with my life (with my life), [x3]

Frogger with my life.

EURYTHMICS lyrics - For The Love Of Big Brother

Like a train passing in the distance

Black bird in flight

I hear you call

And even though there's no one

Dark shadows move across the wall



I still hear the echo

Of your footsteps on the stairs

Still recall the images that

Seem to live out there



First you see my fingerprints

Like skeletons of leaves on the wall

People changing places

I stand for a moment

And it's gone



I still hear the echo

Of your footsteps on the stairs

Still recall the images that

Seem to live out there



Like a train passing in the distance

Black bird in flight

I hear you call

And even though there's no one

Dark shadows move across the wall



I still hear the sound of

Conversations from the hall

Look to see who's coming

But it's nothing

And there's no one there at all

(No one there at all)

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'

Monday mornin' - it's time to get up

Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus

Looks in the window and fixes her hair

Nobody notices and nobody cares



She admits it ain't no kinda life

Workin' 9 to 5 you know...



She's only happy when she's dancin'

There ain't no place she'd rather be

When she's dancin'

Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies



When Friday evenin' finally rolls around

She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown

Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain"

Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane



Well it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet

But that's the way the story goes

She's only happy when she's dancin'

There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free

When she's dancin'

The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see



[Solo]



She ain't got much but she got independence

Ya - she's doin' alright

His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin'

But she ain't goin' for no mystery

Because nobody rides for free



She's only happy when she's dancin'

Dancin' - there ain't no place she'd rather be

When she's dancin'

Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies - dancin'

B. B. KING lyrics - We're Gonna Make It

(G. Barge / B. Davis / R. Miner / C. Smith)



We may not have a cent

To pay the rent

But we're gonna make it

We may have to eat beans everyday

But we're gonna make it

And if a job is hard to find

And we have to stand

In the welfare line

I've got your love

And I know you got mine

And we're gonna make it



We may not have a home

To call our own

But we're gonna make it

I know we will

We may have to fight hardships alone

We're gonna make it, I know we will

'Cause togetherness

Brings peace of mind

We can't stay down all of the time

I've got your love

And you know you've got mine

And we're gonna make it

I know we will



The car may be old

Our two rooms cold

But we're gonna make it

And though we can't spare

A roach a crumb

But we're gonna make it

I know we will

And if I have to carry around a sign

That says, "Help the deaf

The dumb and the blind"

I've got your love

You know you've got mine

We're gonna make it

I know we will



We may not have a home

Just to call our own

But we're gonna make it

I know we will

We may have to fight hardships alone

But we're gonna make it

I know we will

'Cause togetherness

Brings peace of mind

We can't stay down all of the time

I've got your love

You know you got mine

We're gonna make it

I know we will



We're gonna make it



We're gonna make it, baby

I know we're gonna make it, baby

THE CLASH lyrics - The Magnificent Seven

(The Clash)



Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A. M.!

Move y'self to go again

Cold water in the face

Brings you back to this awful place

Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too

Must get up an' learn those rules

Weather man and the crazy chief

One says sun and one says sleet

A. M., the F. M. the P. M. too

Churning out that boogaloo

Gets you up and gets you out

But how long can you keep it up?

Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony

So cheap and real phony

Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents

English pounds and Eskimo pence



You lot! What?

Don't stop! Give it all you got!

You lot! What?

Don't stop! Yeah!



Working for a rise, better my station

Take my baby to sophistication

She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice

Better work hard - I seen the price

Never mind that it's time for the bus

We got to work - an' you're one of us

Clocks go slow in a place of work

Minutes drag and the hours jerk



"When can I tell 'em wot I do?

In a second, maaan...oright Chuck!"



Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss

It's our profit, it's his loss

But anyway lunch bells ring

Take one hour and do your thanng!

Cheeesboiger!



What do we have for entertainment?

Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement

Now the news - snap to attention!

The lunar landing of the dentist convention

Italian mobster shoots a lobster

Seafood restaurant gets out of hand

A car in the fridge

Or a fridge in the car?

Like cowboys do - in T. V. land



You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?



So get back to work an' sweat some more

The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door

It's no good for man to work in cages

Hits the town, he drinks his wages

You're frettin', you're sweatin'

But did you notice you ain't gettin'?

Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

To take your car outta that gear

Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

To get your car outta that gear

Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels

Came to the checkout at the 7-11

Marx was skint - but he had sense

Engels lent him the necessary pence



What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!!



Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi

Went to the park to check on the game

But they was murdered by the other team

Who went on to win 50-nil

You can be true, you can be false

You be given the same reward

Socrates and Milhous Nixon

Both went the same way - through the kitchen

Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin

Who's more famous to the billion millions?

News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie

Oooohh...bub-bye



Magnificence!!



Fucking Long, Innit?

VINCE GILL lyrics - One

(Vince Gill)



Every litle whisper every little sound

Brings me comfort whenever you're around

A heart full of wonder and sweet reverie

Gives me a reason a reason to believe



[Chorus:]

Forever's just begun

We'll never turn and run

Slowly we've become

One, one

Slowly we've become one



I love the way we're different

And the way we're the same

Making love to each other

Is like shelter from the rain



Isn't it amazing

What I see in your eyes

I'll be your partner

And never leave your side



[Chorus]

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Nonagon

Everybody at the party is a many-sided polygon

When a guest arrives, they will count how many sides it has on

Standing by the window over there

There is a shape with four sides so it's a square

And the one who has nine is looking fine

And its name is Nonagon



Everybody turns just in time to see the pentagon arrive

Counting up the sides, it is clear the pentagon has five

Chatting in the kitchen we see

There is a triangle whose sides number three

And is talking to the shape that has nine

Who is known as Nonagon



Nonagon



Nonagon lets in a guest who has shown up late

Its name is Octagon and its sides add up to eight

Turning the music on

Is a six-sided hexagon

And they all get in a line and do

A dance called "The Nonagon"



The Nonagon

The Nonagon

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - The Promise

Johnny works in a factory, Billy works downtown

Terry works in a rock and roll band lookin' for that million-dollar sound

I got a job down in Darlington but some nights I don't go

Some nights I go to the drive-in and some nights I stay home

I followed that dream just like those guys do up on the screen

I drove my Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad scenes

And the promise was broken, I cashed in a few of my own dreams



Well now I built that Challenger by myself, but I needed money and so I sold it

I lived a secret I should'a kept to myself, but I got drunk one night and I told it

All my life I fought that fight, a fight that you can never win

Every day it just gets harder to live a dream you're believing in

Thunder Road, oh baby you were so right

Thunder Road, there's something dyin' down on the highway tonight



Well I won big once and I hit the coast, hey but I paid the big cost

Inside I felt like I was carryin' broken spirits of all the other ones who lost

When the promise is broken you go on living, but it steals something from down in your soul

Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference, something in your heart runs cold

I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks, that dead ends in two-bit bars

When the promise was broken I was far away from home sleepin' in the backseat of a borrowed car

Thunder Road, here's for the lost lovers and all the fixed games

Thunder Road, here's for the tires rushing by in the rain

Thunder Road, remember Billy what we'd always say

Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all then throw it all away

RARE EARTH lyrics - Get Ready

Never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do

You're alright

Whenever I'm asked what makes a my dreams real

I tell 'em you do

You're outta' sight



Well twiddley dee, twiddley dum

Look out baby 'cause here I come



I'm bringing you a love that's true

Get ready, get ready

Start makin' love to you

Get ready, get ready

Get ready, 'cause here I come

Get ready, 'cause here I come



You wanna' play hide and seek with love, let me remind you

You're alright

Lovin' you're gonna' miss, and the time it takes to find you

You're outta' sight

Well fee fi, fo fo fum

Look out baby, 'cause here I come



I'm bringing you a love that's true

Get ready, get ready

Start makin' love to you

Get ready, get ready

Get ready, 'cause here I come

Get ready, 'cause here I come



Baby all my freedoms should you want me to I think i'll understand

You're alright

Hope I get to you before they do, 'cause that's how I planned it

You're outta' sight



Well twiddley dee, twiddley dum

Look out baby 'cause here I come



I'm bringing you a love that's true

Get ready, get ready

Start makin' love to you

Get ready, get ready

Get ready, 'cause here I come

THE CURE lyrics - Just One Kiss

Remember the time that you rained all night

The queen of Siam in my arms

Remember the time that the islands sank

But nobody opened their eyes



Remember that time that the trees fell down

The wood crashing through the wall

Remember the sound that could wake the dead

But nobody woke up at all



Somebody died for this

Somebody died for just one kiss



Remember the time that the sky went black

We waited alone on the sands

Remember the taste of the raging sea

But nobody held out their hands



Somebody died for this

Somebody died

For just one kiss



Just one kiss

Just one kiss

BRENDA LEE lyrics - My Whole World Is Falling Down

(J. Crutchfield, B. Anderson)



My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down

My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby



Told me that your love for me was true

Said you'd love me your whole life through

But now you're asking me to set you free

You've found some body you love more than me



My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down

My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby



I miss your loving that was so fine

I need it, I need it all of the time

For I still love you in the same old way

Yet I'm losing you a little every day



My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down

My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby



My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down

My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Birds

"Oh, that's so heavy.

We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song.

Neil is so heavy.

Neil is so mellow and laid back.

I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back.

You know, I have even gone organic.

Last week I ate an Earth Shoe.

Oh, did I sing the ballad yet?

Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it?

I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."



Lover, there will be another one

to hover over you beneath the sun.

Tomorrow, see the things that never come

today.



And you see me fly away without you.

My shadow on the things you know.

My feathers fall all around you,

they show you the way to go.

It's over, baby. I say, it's over, baby.



Nestle in your wings my little one.

The special morning brings another sun.

Tomorrow, see the things that do not come

today.



And you see me fly away without you.

My shadow falling on the things you know.

My feathers, they fall all around you,

they show you the way to go.

Hey, baby. It's over, baby. It's over, baby.



I got to fly away. I got to fly away.

Gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.

You believe it now, fly away. I'm goin' to the sun, to fly away.

I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.

Oh, one more time. Fly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fly away.

Close my eyes and I will fly away.



It's over, baby. It's over, baby.

My lover, there will be another one

to hover over you beneath the sun.

Tomorrow, see the things that do not come

today.

She will show you the way to go.



It's over. Thank god, it's over.

I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.



"Fly away. I got to fly away. Oh, the hard core fans."

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - A Couple More Years

(Shel Silverstein & Dennis Locorriere)



I've got a couple more years on you, babe, that's all.

I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall.

And it ain't that I'm wiser - it's only that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall.

And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all.



I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby, that's all.

And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl.

And you're headin somewhere, but I've been to somewhere

And found it was nowhere at all.

And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby, that's all.



Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all.

But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' those young eagles call.

And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall.

And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby - that's all.



I've got a couple more years on you baby, that's all.

You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall.

It ain't that I'm wiser it's only that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall.

And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby, that's all.

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Now That I Have You

Am I dreaming, are you real

Can this be heaven that I feel

Raindrops falling down

Make the sweetest sound... sweetest sound

Now that I have you



Greet the morning with a smile

Feelings within me running wild

Gray clouds in the sky

My love cannot hide

Now I have you in my life



I'm feeling things I never felt before

Now that I have you

And nothing seems to matter anymore

Now that I have you



Gentle lover, angel child

Come let me hold you for a while

Love shines from your eyes

Such a sweet surprise

Now I have you in my life



I'm feelings that I never felt before

Now that I have you

And nothing seems to matter anymore

Now that I have you

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Sun Is Shining

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah

Make you wanna move your dancing feet now

To the rescue, here I am

Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?



When the mornin' gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah

Want you to know, I'm a rainbow too now

To the rescue, here I am

Want you to know, y'all, can you, can you, can you understand?



Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now

Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah

But to the rescue, here I am

Want you to know just if you can, here I stand, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no



Can you understand me now, baby?

Do you believe me?

BBM lyrics - Danger Zone

(Gary Moore/Jack Bruce/Ginger Baker)



Yeah.



I was talkin' to somebody,

Just the other day,

About how everybody

Seems to look the other way.



It's a shame.

Don't know which way we'll go, no.

Well, everywhere I look,

It's so plain to see,

We're living in a danger zone.



I was lookin' at the news,

Just the other night.

So much pain and misery,

You know it ain't right.



It's a shame.

Don't know which way we'll go.

Well, everywhere I look,

It's so plain to see,

We're living in a danger zone.



Outside you can feel it everywhere,

We're living in a danger zone.

Outside you can feel it in the air,

We're living in a danger zone.

Yes, we are.



Outside you can see it everywhere,

We're living in a danger zone.

Outside you can feel it in the air,

We're living in a danger zone.



Outside you can see it everywhere,

We're living in a danger zone.

Outside you can feel it in the air,

We're living in a danger zone.



Yeah.

Living in a danger zone.

Yes, we are.

Living in a danger zone.

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - River Of Salt

(Brown / Zackery)



River of salt

Falling from my eyes

It seems a though

I can't realise

My love has gone

She has left this town

River of salt

Keeps flowing down

Day turns to night

Still tears fall

Since we're apart

They won't stop at all

River of salt

Your tears won't end

Will I see

My love again?

Will I see

My love again?

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - At The End Of The Rainbow

Again,

At the end of the rainbow

Again,

No gold to be found

Just this cold unmade bed

The last 3 words you said

And this buzzing on the telephone line



Paris, well, there is fog on the Seine

Amsterdam still courses through my veins

All these dark crazy sights,

Wouldn't be so bad

If I could just taste your breath once again



Honey I saw your daddy

Lying by the roadside

His feet sticking out of a sack

Honey they'll be calling

To tell you that your daddy

Never will be coming back



Again

At the end of the rainbow

Again,

No words to be found

Just this voice sad and alone

Me wishing I was home

And the silence on the telephone line

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Last Hobo

(Allen)



He was born in International Falls a long, long time ago.

Moved to Tucumcari when the ironwork got slow.

He was cornbread and hard scrabble and scratching for every dime,

'til he threw it in and he hit the road to walk that endless line.



Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.

Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.



He tried his hands at lots of jobs and he did them all with pride.

From shoeing mules to driving trucks, he mastered what he tried.

It must have been Ramona, she was all he cared about.

When she ran away and left him, you could see the fire go out.



Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.

Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.



We hardly ever see him, once or twice and he would stay a day or two.

He'd ask about Ramona, then he'd say that he was only passing through.



Now he knows every railroad bull along the right of way,

and every hobo jungle from New York to Santa Fe.

He's looked for his Ramona on the far side of the hill,

now his sun is sinking lower and he's looking for her still.



Still he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.

Now he's the last hobo riding the last boxcar on the last freight train leaving here.

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Dirty Water

(Julie and Buddy Miller)



Well I don't need you hangin round my door

Trying to drag me back down to the shore

And I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more



Well I got wet from my head down to my legs

And I drank dirty water down to the dregs

But I won't do it again I don't care who begs



Dirty water now what's that for

Dirty water I ain't drinkin no more



You've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen

And you wanna put the truth on a guillotine

But you might as well put out a fire with gasoline



Well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup

You can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut

Cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut



Well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick

So you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick

Well that dirty water is about to make me sick



Dirty water now what's that for

Dirty water I ain't drinkin no more



You can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine

But I can still read you like a magazine

And I ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean



Dirty water now what's that for

Dirty water I ain't drinkin no more



Baby you got the kind of love that I can't afford

And I don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured

And I ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more

SLASH lyrics - Mother Maria

For everyone I loved and every road I've known

For all the trash I won

I celebrate... alone

Sit up straight, stupid, bite your tongue

The best that I am is said and done



Screams and whispers

Tell her I no longer hear her!



Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her my apologies"

"And tell her not to cry"

Mother Maria



I holler like a king trying to keep his throne

But chewing on a stone is the only thing I own

Drugs and lovers

Nothing left under the covers



Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her my apologies"

"And tell her not to cry"

Mother Maria



Anything you want

Anything you need

I give it all I got

Your attention please!

You never want it me

You never wanted me!



Sleep with me

Just for the bitter part

About me



[Solo]



Living's hardly

Living's hardly

Tell her I no longer want it



Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her all apologies"

It's Mother Mary, she don't talk to me!



I still don't hear her voice

I still can't hear her voice

I don't deserve her

So tell her not to cry

Tell her not to cry

Tell her not to cry!

Mother Maria

PETE SEEGER lyrics - Adam The Inventor

Early in the morning,

Just as the sun was rising

Adam started inventing things,

And the results were surprising.



Later in the morning

The sun was getting higher.

Adam made a discovery,

He learned to handle fire.



Invented spears, invented guns,

Invented arrow and bow;

And what is it now he's going to invent?

I'm not sure I want to know.



Invented language, invented words,

Invented alphabets.

But when it comes to communicating,

Sometimes he was deaf.



Conquered desert, conquered ice,

Conquered ocean and shore,

Conquered every animal beside himself,

Then Adam invented war.



Adam, brilliant Adam,

So brilliant, you're made blind,

Inventing some new kind of world,

With no place for mankind.



Stomp your foot, we've got one earth,

One big red apple to share,

All around us one ocean of water,

And just one ocean of air.



Can we break the grip of this Dance of Death?

Can this world be released?

Will Adam's children, the young inventors,

Will they now invent peace?



Now some will scoff and some will scorn,

But what makes them so certain?

Adam's children might surprise us all,

And build anew the Garden.

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Heading West

(Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)



I drop my hat

To a restless wind

This time I'm not gonna chase it again

In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words

I woke up crying and no one heard

You're looking through me like I never was real

You say you love me but you won't let me feel

So I'm gonna take a chance this time

I'm gonna find myself some place where I can heal



And I'm heading west

Without a sad goodbye

And I'm heading west

I'm like a letter with no address

Just like a book I read

I'm heading west



I said my name

Under my breath

He turned down a twisted road

I won't forget

I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string

Hold on to hope, let go everything

I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said

The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head

And if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up

I'm gonna get back up again



And I'm heading west

Without a sad goodbye

And I'm heading west

I'm like a letter with no address

Just like a book I read

I'm heading west



And I'm heading west...

Just like a book I read...

JOHN HIATT lyrics - The Rest Of The Dream

You were a tiny spark

Caught in your parents' eyes

When they made love in the dark

You were the big surprise

And the old man came through

Gave his very best for you

And your mother's arms

They kept you warm

Like no other arms could do



[Chorus:]

When you couldn't find the light

At the top of the stairs

When you cried in the night

Well, you knew they were there

Will the light of the day

Was as bright as it seemed

And you knew in your heart

You were livin' the rest of the dream



Well, I had a dream of you

But I never realized

Baby, the dream was true

That's when you opened my eyes



And I will come through

Do my very best for you

And your lovin' arms

Gonna keep me warm

Like no other arms will do



When you can't find the light

At the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night

Well, you know I'll be there

Till the light of the day

Is as bright as it seems

And you know in your heart

You're livin' the rest of the dream



Now I see a tiny spark

Caught in your lovin' eyes

As we make love in the dark

And wait for the big surprise



And the old man will come through

Son or daughter, just for you

And your mama's arms

Gonna keep you warm

Like no other arms can do



When you can't find the light

At the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night

Well you know we'll be there

Till the light of the day

Is as bright as it seems

And you know in your heart

You're livin' the rest of the dream



[Chorus]

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Tightrope

They say some days you're gonna win,

They say some days you're gonna lose.

I tell you I got news for you

Your losin' all the time you never win

If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down

Get off your tightrope up there come down on

The ground you gotta save me now,

You better turn around.

When I looked around, I was heading down.

Won't somebody throw me down a line.



They say some days you gotta give--

They say some days you gotta take--

If that's the way it's gotta be,

Roll it over and you will see.

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.

The change from night to day is really only hours,

It's just along the line can't you see the sign

When I looked around, I was heading down,

Won't somebody throw me down a line.



I want to look you straight in the eye,

I want to tell you how I really feel,

I can feel the wheels turnin' round,

Won't somebody throw me down a line

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,

The change from night to day is really only hours

It's just along the line, can't you see the sign

When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised

Somebody had thrown me down the line--stopped me drownin'

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Fragile

(Nanci Griffith)



I look out on these shields of heather

Across this countryside

I wonder how they've grown together

While people live such separate lives

I think I'll stay inside for the winter

Cuz' the weather's in my bones

And the wind could shatter bone to splinter

Then howl me back home



[Chorus:]

I'm fragile as the lady of the harbor

Fragile as her torch that glows

Fragile as these gulf stream waters

To the Texas coast... To the Texas coast



I stared up at the faces in the mountain

Just a year ago

Laughin' in the spirit of America

And singin' in the snow

Now I wish I felt as strong as that mountain

Just carved in stone

I wish I was the gulf stream water

And I could sail you home



[Chorus]



I would give you all that's in me

Though part of me is gone

If I could have that day upon the mountain

For the snow and the song

But here's to love and all that it changes

When you're alone out in that storm

Cuz' if I'd had a shield of heather

I'd have never loved at all



[Chorus]



I would sail you home

To the Texas coast

I would sail you home

To the Texas coast

RICKY NELSON lyrics - I Paid For Loving You

You crossed an ocean's worth of teardrops

A million dollars worth of gloom

Since you've gone, it has cost me a lot

I paid for loving you

I paid for loving you



Give me all the tea in China

All the gold from old Peru

It couldn't pay for the sleep that I've lost

All from lovin' you, mmm

I paid for loving you



I try to smile and forget the past

But all I do is cry

Nothin's broker than a broken heart

So broken I could die

So broken I could die



If I were king and had a palace

I'd tell you just what you could do

I'd trade it all for just one more chance

A chance at lovin' you once again

I paid for lovin' you, mmm

I paid for loving you, uh-huh

I paid for loving you, uh-huh

I paid for loving you, yes I did

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Summertime Blues

(Eddie Cochran)



Well I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler

I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Well the time will come when baby, I try to get a date

My boss says ["No dice, girl, you gotta work late."]



Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues



Well my mom and brother told me girl you gotta make some money

If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday

Well I didn't go to work - I told the boss I was sick

[You can't use the car cause you didn't work late.]



Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues



I'm gonna take two weeks - gonna have a fine vacation

Gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called the congressman and he said quote

["I'd like to help you honey but you're too young to vote."]



Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Ain't no cure

No no

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Almost Fed Up With The Blues

I wake up with my head and hand

I wish i was another man

'Cause i almost fed up with the blues



I think about the kitchen sink

Then i just shudder to think

'Cause I'm almost fed up with the Blues



[Chorus 1:]

If it don't let up, gonna get up

And get my life set up

'Cause I'm almost fed up with the Blues

Have some coffee, 'fore i call it quits

Might even put jam on my biscuit

'Cause i'm almost fed up with the Blues



There's a woman, a can, and an bank note due

But I'm gonna leave that up to you

'Cause i'm almost fed up with the Blues



If i get up they'll knock me down again

But what are you gonna do, my friend

When i'm almost fed up with the Blues



[Chorus 2:]

If it don't kill me, it thrills me

But somebody always bills me

And i'm almost fed up with the Blues

It's a gut check, a train wreck

With all of the usual suspects

And i'm almost fed up with the Blues



If these blues don't stop hurtin' me

Its curtains for my misery

'Cause i'm almost fed up with the Blues

Might get a job, or join a club

'Cause buddy i've whittled it down to the nub

And 'Cause i'm almost fed up with the Blues



[Chorus 2:]

If it don't kill me, it thrills me

But somebody always bills me

And i'm almost fed up with the Blues

It's a gut check, a train wreck

With all of the usual suspects

And i'm almost fed up with the Blues

ANDY WILLIAMS lyrics - I Like Your Kind Of Love

(Melvin Endsle)



Oh honey babe, oh honey babe

Oh honey babe, I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)



Honey babe, I like the way that you walk by

I like the way you swing your eye

I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)



Every night I like the way you beg for more

And linger there outside the door

I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)



Well, well, well-ll-ll ain't it swell

Can't reveal-l-l how I feel

And no one else could ever thrill me like you do

You make my every dream come true

I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)



Oh honey babe, oooo honey babe

MMMMM honey babe

I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)



Honey baby I like the way you wear your clothes

My love for you just grows and grows

I like your kind of love

Honey you know I do



When you're near you don't know what you do to me

And that's the way it oughta be

I like your kind of love

Honey you know I do



Don't you know-o-o that I love you so

Can't you see-e-e that you're for me

Honey babe I like the way you hold my hand

To make me know you understand

I like your kind of love

Honey you know I do

Oh honey babe, oooo honey babe

MMMMM honey babe

I like your kind of love

(That's good, baby that's good)

Honey babe I like your kind of love

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Seven

I forgot what my father said

I forgot what he said

I forgot what my mother said

as we layed upon your bed



A city full of flowers

a city full of rain

I got seven days to live my life

or seven ways to die



I forgot what my brother said

I forgot what he said

I don't regret anything at all

I remember how he wept



On a bridge of violent people

I was small enough to cry

I got seven days to live my life

or seven ways to die



Hold my face before you

still my trembling heart

Seven days to live my life

or seven ways to die



The Gods forgot they've made me

so I forgot them to

I listen to the shadows

I play among their graves



My heart is never broken

my patience never tried

I got seven days to live my life

or seven ways to die

Seven days to live my life

or seven ways to die

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Come Monday

Headin' up to San Francisco

for the Labor Day weekend show,

I've got my hush-puppies on,

I guess I never was meant for

glitter rock and roll.

And honey I didn't know

that I'd be missin' you so.



[Chorus:]

Come Monday It'll be all right,

Come Monday I'll be holding you tight.

I spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze

and I just want you back by my side.



Yes it's been quite a summer,

rent-a-cars and west bound trains.

And now you're off on vacation,

somethin' you tried to explain.

And darlin' I love you so that's

the reason I just let you go.



[Chorus]



I can't help it honey,

you're that much a part of me now.

Remember the night in Montana when

we said there'd be no room for doubt.



I hope you're enjoyin' the scenery,

I know that it's pretty up there.

We can go hikin on Tuesday,

with you I'd walk anywhere.

California has worn me quite thin,

I just can't wait to see you again.



[Chorus]

SLADE lyrics - 7 Years Bitch

(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)



You're going round the circle

Through another phase

Your temperature rising

You're wining and dining

A girl who's half your age

She gives you all the business

She gives to older men

And it's oh so understandable

This ladykiller move

There must be something bottled up

You think you you gotta prove

Cos now that you're a member

Of something on the side

It's number...



CHORUS:

One, two and three, four and five, six, seven year

Can you controll the bitch

One, two and three, four and five, six, seven

Can you controll the itch



To tell the truth you're old' enough

To be her dad

She ain't gonna let up

She want's you toset up

A cosy little pad

Where she can entertain you

And everything is free

I can tell you always were a sucker

For a pretty face

The nights you're a member

Of something on the side

It's number...



CHORUS:



One, two and three, four and five, six, seven year

Can you controll the bitch

One, two and three, four and five, six, seven

Can you controll the itch



You tell the wife another

Business trip abroad

It's getting to much

You better not touch

What you cannot affort

Iknow it's monkey business

And I've seen it all before

And I know that you were overcome

When she told you you're the best

You better believe she's saying the same

To me and all the rest

Cos now that you're a member

Of a little bit on the side

It's number...



CHORUS:



One, two and three, four and five, six, seven year

Can you controll the bitch

One, two and three, four and five, six, seven

Can you controll the itch.

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Under The Gun

(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)



Infidel can you hear

Would be strange delight

I need you to give your sympathy tonight

When you hear what I say

Deeds I've done

Realise I've never lost and never won



I've got a feeling that it's never right

There was a reason but it's out of sight

It's going down somewhere tonight

Under the gun



Put death in my hand

Learn to fight

Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right

We got no choice

Under command

We're ordered to die or take this land



Stupid bastards and religious freaks

So safe in their castle keeps

They turn away as a mother weeps

Under the gun



When brave men fall

Under crimson skies

There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's

eyes

Tears will dry

For those I kill

Remember no more their names but

someone will



The only way to be victorious

Screw the fools who think it's glorious

Who gives a toss about the likes of us

Under the gun

BABYFACE lyrics - You Were There

Time passes, the world changes

But I'm still the same ole' kid

And your jokes still bring me laughter

As if you still were here

And it hurts

When I smile

'Cause my heart still remembers

When you were around



'Cause you were there

When no one was

Just when I thought nobody cared

You showed me love

'Cause you were my friend

You always told me

And I am still here

Because you were there



So precious, small treasures

A time when truth was innocent

True friendship, was all we were after

A place where kids could still be kids

And it hurts

But I'm glad

'Cause at least I was blessed

To have you as my friend



[HOOK]



You're my best friend

There are no accidents

God has a plan for everyone

And he brought you in my life

To show me what a good friendship was



[HOOK]

BILLY IDOL lyrics - Yellin' At The Xmas Tree

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)



When I was a small boy

Here in London town

Seasons snow was falling on the ground

All the friends and family

Here on Christmas Eve

Gather round to dress

The Christmas tree

But daddy's down at the pub

Full of Christmas cheer

Probably won't come home

Until next year



[Chorus:]

Oh the Christmas bells are ringing

And the carolers are singing

But Daddy, he don't hear 'em

He's yellin' at the Christmas tree

Santa's balls are jingling

Mommy's hips a-wiggling

But Daddy, he don't hear 'em

He's yellin, he's yellin'

At the Christmas tree



All right now yeah...



Uncle is a sports fan

Granny likes a joke

But no one laughs when

Daddy's stumbles home

But he don't fall asleep

Wah! The night was getting black



You see, oh God,

Dad had too much Jack

Oh Lord!



Every year is the same old thing

Like Rudolph's red nose

Telling this story will never get old



[Chorus]



Well alright now yeah...

Well alright now...

Yellin' at the Christmas tree



Santa came down the chimney

But then he ran upstairs

Jumped in bed with Mommy

She didn't care

Across the room went the fruitcakes

Ah, the wreath came off the door

If these are holidays I can take no more

Every year it's the same old thing

Like Rudolph's red nose

Hearing this story will never get old



[Chorus]



Santa's balls are jingling

Mommy's hips a-wiggling

But Daddy, he don't hear 'em

He's yellin'

He's yellin' at the Christmas tree



Well alright now yeah...



He's yellin' at the Christmas tree

He's yellin' at the Christmas tree

He's yellin' at the Christmas tree

He's sleeping it the Christmas tree

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Misfit

(Carly Simon)



There are plenty of late nights

If you want to stay up for them

You'll just want to find yourself a friend

And tie a couple on in a night spot

Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot

For tears in your beer

It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual

In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit



Comeon home with me

We'll turn on the TV

About 10 o'clock we'll turn off the light

Not every man was born to stay up late at night



Tere are plenty of boats to catch

If you notice all the sails in the wind

But you better look hard my friend

In case you catch a ride on the wrong one

In the distance is the one you belong on

Oh the water is wide

It's hipe to be miserable when you're young and intellectual

In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit



Come on home with me

We'll sit under a tree

And if you get the itch

I'll supply the scratch

Not every man was born with a boat to catch



It's hip to be miserable when you are young and intellectual

In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit

A misfit

MILES DAVIS lyrics - Blue In Green

Oh, how sweet the pain like silver

Your blood is blue and then turns green at night,

Your eyes seek fear, your sighs are tears

Of long lost loving passion

Your veins are hot with anguished blood

You killed, you tore away from God



I remember when He made you

Lie down in green pastures

He leadeth you to the still waters

He restoreth your soul



Now that you gaze in the valley

Of the shadow of death

You shall fear no evil

For He is not with you

You are all alone

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)

(M. Huffman, W. Guthrie)



The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting

The oranges are packed in the creosote dumps

They're flying you back to the Mexico border

To pay all your money to wade back again



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees



My father's own father, he waded that river

They took all the money he made in his life

My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees

They rode the big trucks till they lay down and die



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees



The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon

A fireball of lightning, and it shook all the hills

Who are these comrades that died like the dry leaves

The radio tells me they're just deportees



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees



We died in your hills and we died in your deserts

We died in your valleys we died on your plains

We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes

Both sides of the river we died just the same



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees



Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted

Our work contract's out and we have to move on

But it's six hundred miles to that Mexican border

They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees



Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards

Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit

To fall like dry leaves and rot on the top soil

And be called by no name except "deportee"



Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane

All they will call you will be deportees

CAROLE KING lyrics - Sweet Life

So you think you got the weight

Of the world on your shoulders

And it's getting too hard to bear

You feel like you're getting older and older

And nobody seems to care

It isn't what you do, it's who you know

Ain't that the way it is any more

Makes you keep on wondering

Don't it make you wonder now

What are you living for



Well, it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye

We got a sweet life, baby, why don't you take a good look around

It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down



Y'say you feel snowed under by circumstances

You can make of it what you will

You can look at the downside or take your chances

And try to make it uphill

Now you can't keep living inside your head

In a prison cell all your own

Just let yourself go, get your body out of bed

You don't have to do it all alone



Well it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye

Y'know this is real life, baby,

Why don't you take another look around

It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down



It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe



You can stop and taste the honey

It's a sweet life, baby, it's all about the sugar

It ain't about money



It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's a sweet life, baby, and I'm not ready to say goodbye

It's a sweet life, baby

It's a sweet life, baby

It's a sweet life, baby

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Cherry, Cherry Coupe

(Brian WIlson/Roger Christian)



Go cherry, cherry coupe now



The wildest short around is my cherry, cherry coupe

It's the sharpest thing in town and the envy of my group

It's one of its kind and it really looks good

Chopped nose and deck with louvers on the hood



Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(My cherry coupe beats 'em up coming off the line)

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(And she really gets sparks when she starts to whine)



Chrome reversed rims with whitewall slicks

And it turns a quarter mile in one oh six

Door handles are off but you know I'll never miss 'em

They open when I want with the solenoid system



Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(My cherry coupe beats 'em up coming off the line)

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(And she really gets sparks when she starts to whine)



My coupe's tuck and roll underneath the hood

And the rugs, seats, and panels now are looking good

When I go looking for something to do

She's got enough room now to barely seat two



Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(My cherry coupe beats 'em up coming off the line)

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(And she really gets sparks when she starts to whine)



Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(My cherry coupe beats 'em up coming off the line)

Go cherry, cherry coupe now

(And she really gets sparks when she starts to whine)

BRENDA LEE lyrics - What Kind Of Fool Am I

(L. Bricusse, Tony Newley)



What kind of fool am I

Who never fell in love

It seems that I'm the only one

That I have been thinking of

What kind of girl is this

An empty shell, a lonely cell

In which an empty heart must dwell



What kind of lips are these

That lied with every kiss

That whispered empty words of love

That left me alone like this



Why can't I fall in love

Like any other girl

And maybe then I'll know

What kind of fool am I



Why can't I fall in love

Like any other girl

And maybe then I'll know

What kind of fool am I

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Last Dance

Wake up! It's a Monday morning

No time left to say goodbye

Can't breathe

and the lights are changing.

You can live your own life

Making it happen

Working on your own time

Laid back and laughin'

Oh no, oh no.



Headlights,

make it home by sundown

Feeling that the day is through

Return back

to where you come from

You can live your own life

Making it happen

Working on your own time

Laid back and laughin'

Oh no, oh no.



You wake up in the mornin'

And the sun's comin' up.

Its been up for hours

and hours and hours

And hours and hours and hours

It's been up for hours

and hours and hours

And you light up the stove

And the coffee cup, its hot.

And the orange juice

is cold, cold, cold

Monday morning,

Wake up, wake up,

wake up, wake up

Its time to go,

Time to go to work.



You can live your own life

Making it happen

Working on your own time

Laid back and laughin'

Oh no, oh no.

No, no, no.

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Any Lie

The words he whispers seem so sweet: pretty to look at, poison to eat,

He'll feed you until you choke on deceit,

So you better beware, 'cause, baby, he don't care.



He'll tell you any lie,

He will tell you any lie,

You'll believe any lie,

Any lie, any lie you'll believe.



Different colours and different hues; he'll find the one that will suit your views,

It's you constitutional right to choose,

Any lie will do if you don't have a clue.



He'll tell you any lie,

He will tell you any lie,

You'll believe any lie, ooh,

Any lie, any lie you'll believe.



He's gonna bring you down until you drown,

You can't make it on your own,

It's gonna take the power of Heaven, the light of the Son, to get you home.



He loves religion as much as crime,

Right or left, either way will be fine as long as you miss walking on that narrow line,

All that matters is: in the end you're his.



He'll tell you any lie,

He will tell you any lie,

You'll believe any lie, ooh,

Any lie, any lie you'll believe.



Ooh,

Any lie, any lie you'll believe.

MILES DAVIS lyrics - All Blues

The sea

The sky

And you and I

Sea and sky and you and I

With all blues

All shades

All hues



Some blues

Are sad

But some blues are glad

Dark and sad or bright and glad

We're all blues

All shades

All hues

We're all blues

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - In Memory Of My Heart

(Julie and Buddy Miller)



Light a candle in the rain

Sing a sad song in the dark

Throw a flower in the river

In memory of my heart



You were such life to me or so sweet to me

For my heart you were breath and blood

Now I'm in misery

Cause I can't live without your love



Light a candle in the rain

Sing a sad song in the dark

Throw a flower in the river

In memory of my heart



I'll go on like before

And look the same as

I've always been

But my heart's gone for sure

Since forever's come to an end

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Frankie Carroll

Frankie Carroll

He got drunk last night

I tried my best to help him

But he wound up in a fight



And his missy got him

She said

"Frankie, it's alright"

"Frankie won't do you wrong"



Frankie Carroll

He beat his kids last night

"I don't like you kids shouting"

"Shut up now, don't care who's wrong or right"



And his missy got him

She said

"Frankie, I'll keep the kids quiet"

Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?



Frankie Carroll

He fell to bed last night

And his head hung off the pillow

And his eyes were closed shut tight



And his missy

She got up and turned out the light

Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?

Frankie Carroll was with a woman last night
