ROD STEWART lyrics - Thanks For The Memory

(Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger)



Thanks for the memory

Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine

The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line

How lovely it was!



Thanks for the memory

Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes

And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes

How lovely it was!



Many's the time that we feasted

And many's the time that we fasted

Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted

We did have fun and no harm done



And thanks for the memory

Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore

You might have been a headache but you never were a bore

So thank you so much.



Thanks for the memory

Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse

And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse"

How lovely it was



Thanks for the memory

Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case

And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace

How lovely it was!



We said goodbye with a highball

Then I got as "high" as a steeple

But we were intelligent people

No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us



So, thanks for the memory

And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?

And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?

Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo



And thank you so much

ISAAC HAYES lyrics - I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)

Today I passed you on the street

And my heart fell at your feet

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you



Somebody else stood by your side

And he looked so satisfied

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealin'

As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you

Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(still in love with you)



(Today I passed you on the street)

Today I passed you on the street

(And my heart fell at your feet)

And my heart fell at your feet

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(Somebody else stood by your side)

Somebody else stood by your side

(And he looked so satisfied)

And, ya know, he looked so satisfied

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you



Oh, it hurts to know another's lips will kiss you

And hold ya just the way I used to do

Oh-oh-oh-oh heaven only knows how much I,

How much that I miss ya

I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

(Still in love with you)

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - It's Gotta Be Love

(Terry Skinner/J. L. Wallace)



It's gotta be love

That keeps us together

It's gotta be a feeling from the heart

It's gotta be love

It must last forever

Or I won't let the fire start

It's gotta be love



I don't have time for a part time love affair

I can't pretend it's love when it's not really there

So don't you lead me on if you don't really care

It's gotta be real

And I got a feeling



It's gotta be love

That keeps us together

It's gotta be a feeling from the heart

It's gotta be love

It must last forever

Or I won't let the fire start

It's gotta be love



I can't just let you take my love and walk away

And you must know that love is not a game I play

So when you say you love me

You better mean just what you say



It's gotta be real

And I got a feeling



It's gotta be love

That keeps us together

It's gotta be a feeling from the heart

It's gotta be love

It must last forever

Or I won't let the fire start

It's gotta be love



It's gotta be love

That keeps us together

It's gotta be a feeling from the heart

It's gotta be love

It must last forever

Or I won't let the fire start

It's gotta be love

PULP lyrics - Disco 2000

Well we were born within one hour of each other.

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.

Your name is Deborah, Deborah.

It never suited ya.

Oh they thought that when we grew up,

We'd get married, and never split up.

We never did it, although often I thought of it.



Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small,

With wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

You didn't notice me at all.



I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own on

That damp and lonely Thursday years ago.



You were the first girl at school to get breasts.

Martyn said that yours were the best.

The boys all loved you but I was a mess.

I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.

We were friends but that was as far as it went.

I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,

Oh it meant nothing to you,

Cos you were so popular.



Deborah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

With woodchip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

You didn't notice me at all.



I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own

On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.



Oh yeah,

Oh yeah.



Ah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

With wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

You didn't notice me at all.



I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own,

On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maybe?

You can even bring your baby.

Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.

What are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maby?

You can even bring your baby.

Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.

DIO lyrics - Walk On Water

He's just an ordinary man

Never gonna live forever

So he takes it where he can



Too many nights without a day

For the sake of being clever

He almost lost his way

He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

You can't walk on water - don't try

You can't walk on water - my my my



They say there's ice inside his veins

He's the man of a thousand faces

Silver spoons and golden chains

He thought his heart was made of steel

But it never started pounding

Till they strapped him to the wheel



He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

No matter what you try

You can't walk on water - my my

Can't walk on water - don't let me try



Somebody said we'll make him strong

He can give us all the answers

Tell us right and show us wrong



If you believe it, it's no lie

And there is an end to summer

'Cause the winter makes it die



We never looked above his head

And so he missed the things that they said, yeah

He always thought that he could fly

Until they shot him from the sky



No matter how you try

You can't walk on water

Can't burn the sun

You can't walk on water

Not anyone



You can't, you can't, you can't

You can't, you can't, walk on water

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - The Only Joy In Town

I want to paint a picture

Botticelli style

Instead of Venus on a clam

I'd paint this flower child

"You are the air my flowers breathe"

He calls, and the ladies turn around

On the first day of Spring

I'm looking at the only joy around



He's the only joy around

The only joy I found

The only joy in town



The Spanish steps are crowded

Bunch of bodies brooding there

Dead pan side-walk vendors

Hustling vacant stares

Making all the more exceptional

This fool in a flower crown

On the first day of Spring

I'm looking at the only joy in town



He's the only joy around

The only joy I found

The only joy in town



The Botticelli black boy

With the fuchias in his hair

Is breathing in women like oxygen

On the Spanish stairs

In my youth I would have followed him

All through this terra-cotta town

On the first day of Spring

We'd dance and sing

And be the only joy around



We'd be the only joy around

The only joy in town

He's the only joy I've found

All day



At night these streets are empty

Where does everybody go

Where are the brash and tender rooms

In Roman candle glow

Where are Fellini's circus'

La Dolce Vita clowns

On the first day of Spring

I'm looking

At the only joy in town



He's the only joy around

The only joy I found

The only joy in town

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - Bad Boy / Having A Party

(Luther Vandross, Marcus Miller/Sam Cooke)



Roll back the rug everybody

Move all the tables and chairs

We're gonna have us a good time tonight

Everytime that we meet

We skip and we dip to the beat, Yeah Yeah

What in the world could be better

Than getting together



The last time we had a party

It ended when the sun came up

That's why your mama told you

That you couldn't go out

Stay in the house



[Chorus:]

Bad boy

He's gonna sneak out tonight

He's gonna tip by her window

'Cause he sure wants to get out and dance

Everyone's here, let 'em all in

The chandelier downstairs has fallen

I know it's hard toresist

This is the party no one wanted to miss

But if you don't get home on the double, boy

You're going to be in trouble

I hope your mama don't look in your room

'Cause if she does she'll be here soon



Boy, she's gonna be mad

You're a bad boy and you've got it bad boy

Boy, say goodbye to your friends

'Cause it's gonna be a while til you see them again



[Chorus]



Everybody's swingin'

Dancin' to the music

On the radio

Having a party

Everybody's swingin'

Dancin' to the music

On the radio

You can't go



[Chorus]

AL GREEN lyrics - Take Me To The River

[Al Green:]

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all these changes you put me through

You stole my money and my cigarettes

And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet



I wanna know

Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Hey hey



[Al Green, BB King:]

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground



[Lenny Kravitz :]

I don't know why she treated me so bad

Look at all those things that we could have had

Love is a notion that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I will never regret



I wanna know

Won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



[Al Green, BB King:]

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground



[Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, Al Green, BB King :]

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me

Till I can't, till I can't take no more

Take me to the river



[BB King, Lenny Kravitz:]

I don't know why I love you like I do

After all these changes you put me through

The sixteen candles burning on my wall

Turning me into the biggest fool of them all



I wanna know

Oh won't you tell me

Am I in love to stay?



[Al Green, BB King:]

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground



One more time!



[Al Green, BB King:]

Take me to the river

And wash me down

Won't you cleanse my soul

Put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river

MOODY BLUES lyrics - The Day Begins

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,

Removes the colours from our sight,

Red is gray and yellow white,

But we decide which is right.

And which is an illusion?

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,

Let insipid figures of light pass by,

The mighty light of ten thousand suns,

Challenges infinity and is soon gone.

Night time, to some a brief interlude,

To others the fear of solitude.

Brave Helios wake up your steads,

Bring the warmth the countryside needs.

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Jungle Fever

I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy

Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love

She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy

We're each other's baby, we're in love



I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy

Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love



She can't love me, I can't love her

Cause they say we're the wrong color

Staring, gloating, laughing, looking

Like we've done something wrong

Because we show love strong, get real, come on

Calling us names too bad to mention

But we pay them no attention

For color blind are inner feelings

If we feel happiness

And know our love's the best, forget their mess



I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy

Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love

She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy

We're each other's baby, we're in love



Everyone's created equal

Hell with all you ignorant people

Trying to stereo type us

You really ought to quit

Cause you don't know jack, you make us sick

Get off my jock, you're trying to ride me

Because I got my girl beside me

You'll only make yourself look stupid

I love you're trying to dis

Cause we've got happiness, I bet you're pissed



I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy

Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love

She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy

We're each other's baby, we're in love



I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy

Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love

She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever

We've got jungle fever, we're in love

I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy

We're each other's baby, we're in love

TAJ MAHAL lyrics - Corrina

(Jesse Ed Davis / Taj Mahal)



I got a bird what whistles, baby got a bird

Honey got a bird... it would sing, baby got a bird

Honey got a bird... it would sing

Without my Corrina, sure don't mean..., sure don't mean a natural thing



I learned to love you baby, honey for I call

Baby for I call your name, baby for I call

Honey for I call your name, I love you Corrina

It sure don't mean, it sure don't mean a natural thing



Have mercy, have mercy, baby on my hard luck

Honey on my hard luck soul, baby on my hard luck

Honey on my hard luck soul



I got a rainbow round my shoulder

Looks like silver, shines like Klondike gold



Well I love you honey, honey tell the world, baby tell the world I do

Honey tell the world I do, baby tell the world I do

Ain't no woman in fourteen counties, love me baby like the way I do



I got a bird what whistles, baby got a bird

Honey got a bird... it would sing, baby got a bird

Honey got a bird... it would sing

Without Corrina, sure don't mean, sure don't mean a natural thing



Corrina, Corrina, Corrina

BLIND GUARDIAN lyrics - The Curse Of Feanor

Taken the long way

Dark realms I went through

I arrived

My vision's so clear

In anger and pain

I left deep wounds behind

But I arrived

Truth might be changed by victory



Beyond the void but deep within me

A swamp of filth exists

A lake it was of crystal beauty

But Arda's spring went by

I've heard the warning

Well curse my name

I'll keep on laughing

No regret

No regret



[Chorus 1:]

Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord

Morgoth I cried

All hope is gone but I swear revenge

Hear my oath

I will take part in your damned fate



I will always remember their cries

Like a shadow which covers the light

I will always remember the time

But it's past

I cannot turn back the time

(I) don't look back

There's still smoke near the shore

But I arrived

Revenge be mine



[Chorus 2:]

I will take part in your damned fate

Morgoth I cried

It's my oath

So don't fear the eyes

Of the dark lord



Soon you will be free

Set your spirit free

"Suddenly I realized

The prophecies

I've never believed in

My deeds were wrong

I've stained the land

And slain my kin

(Burning Soul)

There's no release from my sins

It hurts

THE CURSE OF FEANOR RUNS LONG

Time and only time will tell us

Tell: was I right or wrong?

When anger breaks through

I'll leave mercy behind"



[Chorus 2]



I will always remember their cries

Like a shadow they'll cover my life

But I'll also remember mine

(And) after all I'm still alive

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Rogaciano

La huasteca is in mourning

Its huapanguero has died

You can no longer hear that falsetto

Which is the soul of the troubadour.



Rogaciano he was called

Rogaciano the huapanguero

And they were sones of the sierra

mountains

The songs of the troubadours.



Azucena and Cecilia

Are crying, crying inconsolably

Malaguena Salerosa*

Their bard has gone.



The cane is ready

Today begins the milling

The sugar mill is in mourning

And sighs with each turn.



In the green coffee plantations

Far beyond that pasture

There are those who say that in the

nighttime

The huapanguero appears.



Azucena and Cecilia

Are crying, crying inconsolably

Malaguena Salerosa*

Their bard has left.

SIMPLY RED lyrics - Mellow My Mind

Baby mellow my mind

Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time

Jugglin' nickels and dimes

Satisfied with the fish on the line



I've been down the road and I've come back

Lonesome whistle on the railroad track

Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had



Something so hard to find

A situation, that could casualise your mind



I've been down the road and I've come back

Lonesome whistle on the railroad track

Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had



I've been down the road and I've come back

Lonesome whistle on the railroad track

Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had.



Baby mellow my mind

Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time

Jugglin' nickels and dimes

Satisfied with a fish on the line.

FRANKIE LAINE lyrics - Cry Of The Wild Goose

(Terry Gilkyson)



[Chorus:]

My heart knows what the wild goose knows

And I must go where the wild goose goes

Wild goose, brother goose, which is best

A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest



Tonight I heard the wild goose cry

Hangin' north in the lonely sky

Tried to sleep, it warn't no use

'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose



Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows

And I must go where the wild goose goes

Wild goose, brother goose, which is best

A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest



Woman was kind and true to me

She thinks she loves me, more fool she

She's got a learn that ain't no use

To love a brother of the old wild goose



[Chorus]



The cabin is warm and the snow is deep

I got a woman who lies asleep

She'll wake up tomorrow's dawn

She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone



Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows

And I must go where the wild goose goes

Wild goose, brother goose, which is best

A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest

Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away



Spring is comin' and the ice will break

And I can't linger for a woman's sake

She'll see a shadow pass overhead

She'll find a feather 'side my bed



[Chorus]

JACK SCOTT lyrics - My True Love

I prayed to the Lord to send me a love

He sent me an angel from heaven above

The stars in the sky he placed in her eyes

She is my true love



The touch (my true love) of her hand (my true love)

Captured (my true love) my soul (my true love)

And the kiss (my true love) from her lips (my true love)

Set my heart (my true love) aglow (my true love)



And I know (my true love) from heaven (my true love)

From heaven (my true love) above (my true love)

Came my, my true love



[Spoken:]

Darling I love you

I'll always be true

My prayers, they were answered

When the Lord sent me you



[Singing:]

With, love and devotion

That I never knew

Until the Lord above sent me you

And I thank (my true love) the heavens (my true love)

The heavens above (my true love)

For sending my true love

(My true love)

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Is It My Body

What have I got that makes you want to love me.

Is it my body or someone I might be, or somethin' inside me

You better tell me. Tell me It's really up to you.

Have you got the time to find out. Who I really am.

What does it take to get inside of your mind.

Give me a break and take a chance for the very first time.



You better tell me. Tell me.

It's really up to you.

Have you got the time to find out.

Who I really am. What have I got.

That makes you want to love me.

Now is it my body or someone I might be or somethin' in side me.



You better tell me. Tell me.

It's really up to you.

Have you got the time to find out. Who I really am.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - If You Ever Go To Houston

If you ever go to Houston better walk right

Keep your hands in your pockets and your gun-belts tied

If you're asking for drama, if you're looking for a fight

If you ever go to Houston, boy you better walk right



If you're ever down there on Bagby and Lamar

You better watch out for the man with the shining star

Better know where you're going or stay where you are

If you're ever down there on Bagby and Lamar



Well I know these streets I've been here before

I nearly got killed here during the Mexican War

Something always keeps me coming back for more

I know these streets I've been here before



If you ever go to Dallas, say hello to Mary-Ann

Say I'm still looking along the trigger, hanging on the best I can

If you see her sister Lucy, say I'm sorry I'm not there

Tell her other sister Nancy to pray the sinner's prayer



I gotta rest this fever bury it in my brain

Better keep right forward, can't spoil the game

The same way I'll leave here will be the way that I came

Gotta rest this fever bury it in my brain



Mr. policeman, can you help me find my gal

Last time I saw her was at the Magnolia Motel

If you help me find her, you can be my pal

Mr. policeman, can you help me find my gal



If you ever go to Austin, Fort Worth or San Anton'

Find the barrooms I got lost in and send my memories home

Put my tears in a bottle screw the top on tight

If you ever go to Houston, buddy you'd better walk right

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Fields Of Regret

Forever I'll enjoy you undertaking

Come to see you every day now if I can

Is it not the time for everybody

I still wake on the fields of regret

There is something to this dream we're all involved in

Can I see it, can I say it

(May exist) or (Makes sense)

Why then don't the night show really matters

If we dwell in the fields of regret

What horror must invade the mind

When the approaching judge shall find

Sinful Deeds from all mankind

With death and nature in surprise

Behold the wretched sinners rise

To meet the judge's searching eyes

And when the doomed no more can flee

From the flames of misery

Assist me while I die

Wander through those ever thoughts though if imagined

But come down on it's so easy to resist (?)

Rest me, hide my years upon the planet [or..ears...]

Sound another, no part over, won't forget

When we laugh at the fields of regret.

PAUL PENA lyrics - Sunezin Yry (Soul's Song)

Olurtup aar salymymny, ergim chonum.



A sharp knife pierces my chest;

Blood pours through my clothes to the ground.

Oh, the cowards!

That such a coward could unfairly ambush me is so sad!



Karaktarym shozu dongdu

I want to look,

But my eyes close anyway.

My life is taken

So meaninglessly.

Woe is me!



Oglen|genden ur-daa bolbaan

Oorushkum boor kadayym kys

He doesn't even know

That my dear, newlywed wife

And my son will be left alone.

My people, my friends, how sad!



Ogde akym, ezhim-oooorum

Dear friends, brothers,

Don't avenge this wrongdoing;

Just look after my wife and son for me.

My in-laws, please look after them.



[Instrumental]



Ava Tyvam, oglu-kyzy

Adaannashpayn demin kadyp

Ep-chop-bile choraan bolza

Elekke chop olur dep men, ergim chonum!



My motherland, Tuva,

If the sons and daughters lived in peace

I wouldn't have been killed so young,

So meaninglessly, so sad!



Ayyyl chizhin kharap korgen

Kharzhygashtar shuglap turdu,

Kanchap bilir dirig boor deesh

Kharzhygashtar shuglap turdu, ergim chonum!

Ayy, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!



Only the moon was there to see this horror;

Even the snow was sad.

They hoped maybe I was still alive;

The snow covered me like clothes

To protect me from the cold.

I lay there alone, only thinking of the dear wife and son

I was leaving behind.

There, alone, with my song of sadness, I died.

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - If Wishes Were Horses

Come with me you can wish upon a star

You can do all the things that you've longed to

And you won't have to wonder who you are

You can be anybody you want to

In a land full of promises and kings

All your best laid dreams are for catchin'

You can have the world to tie up on a string

Just close your eyes and imagine



If wishes were horses

Beggars would ride

All dreams and desires would ride along side

Worries and troubles would fall off behind

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride



To a land far or near come along

There's an all new-round everyday glow

Like the young girl sang in the song

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

I don't know what you mean about nasty feelings, it's



Let me help you out of this, you were starting to feel a

certain way, violence, resentful.



How do you know that? I told you? I told you that?



That's right, remember yesterday?



I don't want to talk about that, I don't want to talk about it.

Let's talk about, uh, talk about something else. Ok?



What would you like to talk about?



Uh



Tell me about your son.



My son, yeah well, he took care of me. He's took care of me

for a long, he still takes care of me. And she takes good, and

she takes care of me. She takes, she takes good care of me.

He takes care of me,

Do you believe it

I have a daughter too.



You don't have a daughter.



Yeah, I have a dauther, yeah.



A son - you have a son, a son.



No I, no I, all I have, I have

I have a son, I have a son and a daughter, and a daughter.

No, I have a son, daughter, daughter too, and a boy, and a boy



Da Da

Da Da



I'm a little tired now



Well that's alright, I think that's enough for today.



I'm feeling rough and kinda hungry too.



Da Da



Who's my boy?

DIANA ROSS lyrics - So You Wanted To See The Wizard

So you wanted to meet the wizard

Let me tell you that you've come to the right place

Shall i make you a frog or a lizard

You should see the strange expression on your face



If the way i come on is frightening

That's the way i felt like coming on today

Have you ever been kissed by lightning?

Let me tell you that will make you go away!



I fly, and the magic of my power takes me higher

To a level where the clouds turn into fire

In the warmness of the fire

I feel fine



Just keep your eyes open and the magic you will see

It will whistle on the wind

As it emanates from me

It's a strong and true vibration,

You can feel it on your skin



Now come and take my hand

And we will dance

Upon the wind

So you wanted to meet the wizard!!

THE SEX PISTOLS lyrics - C'mon Everybody

(Capeheart, Cochran)



Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight

I got some money in my jeans

And I'm really gonna spend it right

Well I've been doing my homework all week long

Now to have some fifty and my folk are gone

Ooh c'mon everybody

Oh well my baby's number one

But I'm gonna dance with three or four

And the house will be shaking from bare feet

A-stamping on the floor

Well when you here the music you can't still

If your brother won't rock, your sister will

Oh c'mon everybody

Oh well we really haven't money

But we gotta put a guard outside

If the folks come home

I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide

There'd be no more movies for a week

No more running around with the usual crew

Who cares?

C'mon everybody

HAWKWIND lyrics - Brainbox Pollution

Well my body's burning up

And I'm feeling so bad

And I think it must be something

That I've just had

Screaming sounds are buzzing through my brain

Am I mad or am I sane?



I can't control my body anymore

It's reaching down into the very core

I've gotta find a way of solving the solution

Is this what they call Brainbox Pollution?



Take my hand, I'll lead you on

To learn so far, my dreams your own

Is this world that we all find

It's leaving us so far behind

ERIC BURDON lyrics - Driftin'

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.

Well I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.



If my baby would only take me back again.

If my baby would only take me back again.

I would feel much better, darling, and at least I'd have a friend.



I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.

I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.

You is a sweet little girl but I swear you won't be true.



I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.

Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Sowing The Seeds Of Love

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man

And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast

D. J.'s the man we love the most

Could you be, could you be squeaky clean

And smash any hope of democracry?

As the headline says you're free to choose

There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes

One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

And anything is possible when you're Sowing the Seeds of Love

Anything is possible - Sowing the Seeds of Love

I spy tears in thier eyes

They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention

Food goes to waste!

So nice to eat, so nice to taste

Politician Grannie with your high ideals

Have you no idea how the Majority feels?

So without love and a promise land

We're fools to the rules of a Goverment plan

Kick out the style! Bring back the jam!

Anything...

Sowing the Seeds

The birds and the bees

My girlfriend and me in love

Feel the pain

Talk about it

If you're a worried man - then shout about it

Open hearts - feel about it

Open minds - think about it

Everyone - read about it

Everyone - scream about it!

Everyone

Everyone - read about it, read about it

Read in the books in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read

Chorus!

(Mr. England Sowing the Seeds of Love)

Time to eat all your words

Swallow your pride

Open your eyes

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man

And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast

Every minute of every hour - " I Love a Sunflower "

And I believe in lovepower, Love power, LOVEPOWER!!!

Sowing the Seeds

An end to need

And the Politics of Greed

With love

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Little Darlin'

(M. Williams)



Little darlin', little darlin'

Oh where, are you, oo oo oo oo

Walla walla chipa mocka mogga

Oh my lover, oh just for you, only you



My darling, I need you

Darling I need you to call my own

To hold your life, your little foot, your hand

I knew someone would understand that

Hold my hand



My dear, I would run

To find without you

Oo oo oo oo oo

Oh, oo oo oo

That my love was just for you, 'n only you

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Tumbling Tumbleweeds

(Bob Nolan)



See them tumbling down

Pledging their love to the ground

Lonely but free I'll be found

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds



Cares of the past are behind

Nowhere to go but I'll find

Just where the trail will wind

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds



I know when night has gone

That new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along

Deep in my heart there's a song

Here on the range I belong

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds



I'll keep rolling along

Deep in my heart there's a song

Here on the range I belong

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Not While I'm Around

[From "Sweeny Todd"]



Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around

Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around

Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays

I'll send them howling

I don't care, I got ways

No one's gonna hurt you,

No one's gonna dare

Others can desert you,

Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,

But in time...

Nothing can harm you

Not while I'm around...

Being close and being clever

Ain't like being true

I don't need to,

I would never hide a thing from you,

Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare

Others can desert you,

Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while

But in time...

Nothing can harm you

Not while I'm around...

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Slowburn

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel

Bewildered, burned out hardly able

To sit astride the high wire cable

It's hard to balance, a little unstable.



Through broken eyes and contact lenses

(I) Watched you draw your future tenses

See kisses of flame blow out of your lips

You're back telling me your Apocalypse.



Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slowburn sunset come along

You've gotta stay the night

I gotta think that you might.



We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills

We've tried making movies from a volume of stills

(But) the words fell like hailstones,

bouncing at our feet,

Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.



A chance to move, I take a shot

I get cold - you get hot

We look outside, lyin' awake

See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.



But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon

Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slow burn sunset come along

You've got to stay the night

I've got to think that you might.



Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size

Darlin' we've got to trust in something

We're shooting down our skies

shooting down (shooting down) our skies

(shooting down our...)

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Favorite Waste Of Time

You're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.



Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again.

My favorite game.

And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above.

You're the one that I love and

you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.



I don't care if being with you

is meaningless and ridiculous;

If it's wrong or right.

I'm gonna give you my love tonight

and tomorrow night 'cause

you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite wast of time.



Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.

You're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.



And one last thing:

I'm gonna give you my love tonight,

and the bells gonna ring 'cause

you're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby. you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Duets For One

Look at you, could I have been so foolish and so green

A face that smiled at every passing scene

Look at you, you're lost behind the web of woven time

When each emotion pinball in your mind



Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile

I was the judge and jury at your trial

Look at me, you know the road ahead will twist and turn

Now I have the time to stand and learn



But you and I have come so far

With a shaken faith

From the pain of a broken heart

Toward feeling great

Feel like life has just begun

No more singing duets for one



I hold your picture here beside the bed

You had a party raging in your head

Look at me, I look at you with vacancy and hurt

And here today all I can do is learn



Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile

I was the judge and jury at your trial

Look at me, you know the road ahead will twist and turn

Now I have the time to stand and learn



I have this picture of me looking at you

Looking at me

And I would like to say

Goodbye sweet memory

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Motherless Children

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.

They don't have anywhere to go;

Wandering around from door to door.

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.



Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.

Father will do the best he can;

So many things a father can't understand.

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.



Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.

Sister will do the best she can;

So many things a sister can't understand.

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead.



When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead.

When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead.

BEE GEES lyrics - Throw A Penny

Little child, I have found

If I stood up and looked around

I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me

I believe, I am sure

That I'm taller then I was before

Building a brand new bridge into sincerity

But it's the times like this, we must learn to grow



Throw a penny for my children, they are going down

When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found

And can't believe what they're saying in the overground

Throw a penny for my children going down



Listen to the wise man as he breathes

He's really loving me (loving me)

He must be loving me (loving me)

At night I turn my face into the wind

And I whisper secretly, what means the most to me

And bring him close



Make it bad, make it good

Make it easy to be understood

I see a velvet day breaking across the sky

I believe, I am sure

I am taller then I was before

Building a brand new bridge

I know I'm gonna try

But it's the times like this, we must find out why



Throw a penny for my children they are going down

When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found

And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground

Throw a penny for my children going down



Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down

Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down (fade)

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - My Back Door

When I was a child

I dreamed like a child of wonder

With my back in the grass

My eyes to the sky to see

I believed in the stars

I knew they cast a spell that I was under

With my fingers in the dirt

I was part of the earth

Every living thing was part of me



But it's gone, it's gone

It's gone, it's gone, gone

I can't feel it

I can't feel it

Must've found a way out my back door

Must've run away out my back door

Because it's gone, gone, gone



Then I fell in love

Love gave me a shot of pure desire

There was nothing else like this

This unimagined bliss this ecstasy

Deep inside the night

I believed I saw the light ignite a fire

And it burned into the dark

It burned deep inside my heart

I thought it would burn eternally



But it's gone, it's gone

It's gone, it's gone, gone

I can't feel it

I can't feel it

Must've found a way out my back door

Must've run away out my back door

Because it's gone, gone, gone



So I run into the street

And I'm shouting into the phone

Asking everyone I meet

I say have you seen it on my doorstep

Did you see it in my car

Have you seen it in the alley

Was it on the back of some guitar

Is it sleeping in the hallway

Does it cry all night alone

Is it selling itself for money

Does it want, does it want to come home

FOREIGNER lyrics - A Love In Vain

Long night, too long and lonely

Laying there asking myself

Hey, what's going on with you and me

How could I be so unaware

So blind I could not see

Knowing you'd be there

And always would be



Is anyone to blame but me

I've been so concerned with myself

Now I need you desperately

If you've fallen for another

Let's be honest with each other

Is there still a chance

And maybe hope to save our romance



We can't be strangers

You mean too much to me

I won't let this be a love in vain

Don't want the loneliness

Of just a memory

I don't want a love in vain



Just one more night, I want to spend with you

We'll let our hearts do the talking

Like we used to do

We'll make our first kiss last forever

Put the pieces back together

'Cause there's still a chance

There may be hope to save our romance



We can't be strangers

You mean to much to me

I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain

I don't want the loneliness

Of just a memory

Don't want a love in vain



Oh, woman look what you've done to me

I'll show you how this love should be

Don't let it be a love in vain

Please don't, don't you know

You got my heart on a string

Don't let go

Don't let this love be a love in vain



We can't be strangers

It's not our destiny

I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain

Don't want the loneliness

Of just a memory

Don't let this be a love in vain

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN lyrics - Tick Tock

"One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream

That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength

And began helping one another

Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day

Peace and understanding and it happened this way"



The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces

The tired and the homeless had family all around

The streets and the cities were all beautiful places

And the walls came tumblin' down



People of the world all had it together

Had it together for the boys and the girls

And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away



I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea

All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again

Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me

The worst of enemies became the best of friends



People of the world all had it together

Had it together for the boys and the girls

Children of the world look forward to a future



Remember

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away



Remember that, remember that

Remember that, remember that



People of the world all had it together

Had it together for the boys and the girls

Children of the world look forward to a future



Remember

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Poet's Justice

(Box/Hensley/Kerslake)



Aaah! Aaah! Ah!



Cold winds and cloudy skies

Turned to sweetness in her eyes

Fantasies I realised

Came to life to my surprise



Rain came and took her away

Just when I thought she was here to stay

Sun gone I was left high and dry

Love came by and touched me

And kissed me so long



Shine hard October moon

Eagle take me to her soon

Run swiftly silver stream

Find my love or let me dream



Now half of me is all of her

I'd be much happier if I were whole

All my words and wisdom fall

The poet's justice leads me to my goal

Leads me to my goal



Cold winds and cloudy skies

Turned to sweetness in her eyes

Fantasies I realised

Came to life to my surprise

Aaah! Aaah!

GENESIS lyrics - Riding The Scree

He rushes to the cliff and scrambles down the rocks. It takes him a long time to get down to the water, trying to keep up with the current at the same time. As he nears the water's edge he sees John losing strength.



Struggling down the slope,

There's not much hope.

I begin to try to ride the scree

but the rocks are tumbling all around me.



If I want John alive,

I've got to ditch my fear - take a dive

While I've still got my drive to survive.



Evel Knievel you got nothing on me.

Here I go!

UB40 lyrics - Nothing Without You

When I'm with you I'm valuable

Original and fashionable

I'm totally formidable

When I'm with you



When you're with me invincible

I'm bullet-proof unsinkable

A one off individual

That's why you're with me



When I caught you unmissable

So loveable and kissable

Completely irresistable

That's why I caught you



Without you I am miserable

Unconfortable in principle

I think that we're inseperable

I'm nothing without you



Now you got me reliable

Flexible and pliable

You see its undeniable

That's where you got me



I'm nothing without you

A man without a goal

The last one waiting

A lost and lonely soul

NEW EDITION lyrics - Shop Around

I never move too fast girl

When it comes to letting my feelings show

I like to take my time out

I like to do it slow

'Cause a man's got to do

Every woman he can

'Cause it's in our nature

Said it's in my nature



[Chorus 2x:]

First come first served is the way

Some do it but not me

I, shop around, shop, shop around



I've got expectations what my

Settle down should be, she got to be stacked head to toe

She's gotta be down for me

And I won't settle for nothing less

But the cream of the crop

Girl I gotta have the best

Don't let, don't let, I won't let

You sell that game

'Cause I know what I want, and you know what you gotta bring

You don't have to tell me,

About the things that's going on

I know how to pick and choose, win or lose

I know a good thing when it's going on



[Chorus 2x:]

First come first served is the way

Some do it but not me

I, shop around, shop, shop around

So what'cha gonna do

Say ya wanna get down

So what'cha gonna do

Say ya wanna get down



[Chorus:]

First come first served is the way

Some do it but not me

Shop around, shop shop around



She gotta be stacked head to toe

She gotta go for what she know

Cause that's the kinda girl that I need

[2x]

CAROLE KING lyrics - Country Road

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.

Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,

But I could feel it on a country road.



Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys.

I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice.

But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels and they're coming to set me free.

I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when but I can tell that it's bound to be,

Because I could feel it, child, yeah, on a country road.



I guess my feet know where they want me to go walking on a country road.



Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.

Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,

But I could feel it on a country road.



Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down a country road.

Na na na na na na na na na na na, country road, yeah, walking on a country road...

ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - What The Hell Have I?

The face before me flies

Laughs at me inside

Masks are made to hide the glow

Shining eyes

Distance 'tween us grows

Feeding lies



It's hard to start things over

You can feel the fire around us

All the time

Yeah



Something I should say

It takes you every day

What you give is not alive

Today

Your soul served on a plate

Throw it away



It's hard to start things over

You can feel the fire around us

All the time

Yeah



It's hard to start things over

Oh yeah

You can feel the fire around us

All the time

Yeah



It's hard to start things over

Oh yeah

You can feel the fire around us

All the time

Yeah



All the time



What the hell have I?

Little pride

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - One Day

One day

I believe

One day

I can see

Baby

Out in the country, maybe down by the sea

Will I wake up one morning and find that I've been set free

One day

One day



Some day

I can't say how

Some day

But I don't know now

Maybe tomorrow when I'm old and gray

What I ever wanted will finally come my way

One day

One day



One day

This dream will come true

One day

Maybe you will too

Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground

I will hear your voice and I'll know I've been found

Hold me tight, baby make me stay

I can hear every word you've been trying to say

One day

One day

ROD STEWART lyrics - Superstar

Feels like I'm goin' insane

I'm loosin' my brain

I can't stand the pain I'm feelin'

Open my arms, they don't reach

I want you to teach me

What do I do now, baby

What do I do now, baby



Cry every day I exist

I wanna be missed

I wanna be needed, baby

Don't wanna put on a show

So where do I go

and what do I do now, baby

what do I do now, baby



Sometimes it seems to me

Like my whole worlds fallin' apart

I miss you so much, dear

Won't you come back to my arms

Oh yeah



Thoughts spinnin' round in my head

the things that you said

I wanna be sleepin', baby

Open my eyes, there's no one

The damage is done

Oh what do I do now, baby

what do I do now, baby

what do I do now, baby

(repeat and fade)

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Destiny

In this world there's so much confusion

And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me

Now I do dream of distant places

Where I don't know now, but it's Destiny



If it's the rich life, I don't want it

Happiness ain't always material things



I want Destiny

It's the place for me

Give me the simple life

I'm getting away from here

Let me be free, let me be me



I'm a man that's for all seasons

What the city offers me ain't naturally

I look to greet the stars

But there's no stars to see

Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny



If it's the rich life, I don't want it

Happiness ain't always material things



I want Destiny

It's the place for me

Give me the simple life

I'm getting away from here

Let me be free, let me be me



I'm a man that's for all seasons

What the city offers me ain't naturally

I look to greet the stars

But there's no stars to see

Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny



I wanna be far from here

Should I up and fly away so fancy free

Nobody can change my mind

I'm screamming out these words for me

While time

Destiny, ah destiny, it's calling me

Destiny, a place for me

Ah, destiny

I want destiny

It's the place for me...

PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)

(Brooker / Reid)



Though I know the night has fallen and the sun's sailed out to sea

I will wait here for the band to play the trumpet voluntary

And with one foot on the seashore and the other in the sand

I will stand here plaiting daisies whilst you play the piano-grand

Caprice, your bugle blew away the cobwebs from my ears

and for once I stood quite naked. Unashamed, I wept the tears

which I tried to hide inside myself from me, I mean from you

but the shame I found too painful and the pain it only grew

Magdalene, my Regal Zonophone

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Give Me More Time

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line

It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine

Give me more time

You gotta give me more time



That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years

We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears

Give me more time

I need more time



O what would he give for a little more time?



Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine

One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find

Give me more time

You gotta give me more time



She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind

Afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind

Give me more time

I gotta have more time



Some have barely any, some too much on their hands

Some would give anything to have it back again



The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors

You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four

Give me more time

You gotta give me more time



Give me more time

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - But A Moment

(Mary Travers /Noel Paul Stookey)



Memory moves us past each other

Time is a ribbon without end

Love is the lesson we keep learning

Death but a moment we must spend



Last week as I made our lunch

We talked of yesterdays

I remember more than you

That happens lots these days

But how we laughed, I almost cried

And the afternoon flew by

As we sat on the patio sipping our drinks

And the sunlight began to die



Memory moves us past each other

Time is a ribbon without an end

Love is the lesson we keep learning

Death but a moment we must spend



And we try to give each other comfort

We try to hold off that dark night

Each of us careful of the other

Keeping our own fear out of sight



Ah, you know I've always loved you

And I know you've loved me too

So it's hard to watch you crumble

And forget all that you knew



Yesterday while I was driving

Sunlight streaming through the trees

Suddenly my heartache parted

And suddenly I felt at ease

You will love me all your life

And I will love you all of mine

That's the gift we give each other

That's the gift divine



Memory moves us past each other

Though time is a ribbon without an end

Love's still the lesson we keep learning

And death but a moment we must spend

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - In The Midnight Hour

(Cropper, Pickett)



I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour

That's when my love comes tumbling down

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour

When there's no one else around

I'm gonna take you girl and hold you

And do all the things I told you

In the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out

And see that twinkle in your eye

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour

That's when my love begins to shine

I'm gonna take you girl and hold you

And do all things I told you

In the midnight hour

UFO lyrics - Wreckless

So this is it, have we come to the end

No more fun, oh my friend

But I'll take my chances now

Lettin' loose again



Wreckless weekends, weekends

Led by my heart, not my head

Tearing this whole world apart



I found something no one steals

It's love of life, it's so real

And I know it's hard for you

But here I go again



Wreckless weekends, weekends

Led by my heart, not my head

Tearing this whole world apart

Bringing me down when it starts



And if it's a lifetime term

Babe I guess I'll never learn

Got to make a stand right here tonight



Got the fever right to my feet

Kicking my heels and I'm coming on heat,

Tonight's the night we make it real

Oh baby, it's a steal

(1) It's no good tomorrow, it's too far away

I'm keeping my hand in, you gotta stay

There's no time for makeup, just put on your shoes

You know we've got nothing to lose



(2) Wreckless, born for a wild weekend

Wreckless, pushing it 'til the end



I'm tired of Houston, it sticks in my throat

I'm gonna swim, not gonna float

So break these chains and let me loose

'Cuz if I can't win, I'm gonna choose



(1) Repeat



(2) Repeat



(2) And I can't stand one more lonely night

Without a love that's got no fight

Oh baby, let me know

C'mon sugar, let it show

One more time, we will know

I gotta keep you, can't let you go



[INSTRUMENTAL]



(3) Repeat



(2) Repeat twice then let the instruments take it on home!

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - If You Were A Bluebird

(Butch Hancock)



If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one

I'd give you a true word

But you've already had one

If you were a bluebird,

you'd be crying

You'd be flying home

If you were a raindrop,

You'd shine like a rainbow

And if you were a train stop,

The conductor would sing low

If you were a raindrop,

You'd be falling

You'd be calling home



If you were a hotel

Honey, you'd be a grand one

But, if you hit a slow spell,

Do you think you could stand one

If you were a hotel,

Well I'd lean on your doorbell

I'd call you my home

If I was a highway,

I'd stretch alongside you

I'd help you pass by ways

That had dissatisfied you

If I was a highway,

Well I'd be stretchin'

I'd be fetchin' you home

DIO lyrics - Living The Lie

When a million miles from nowhere

Is still too close to home

You're with a hundred thousand people

And you still feel all alone

She was never in the circle, or the round would be a square

And the more she seemed to want it, oh the less they seemed to care



Sold out and no admission

Too late to buy

It's never who, it's only why

She's living the lie, living the lie



When you're on your way to somewhere

But the elevator falls

Do you look for the stairs to heaven

Or wander through the halls



He was only dedicated to the ones who make the law

But they burned with too much fire

And his heart was made of straw



No ticket, no admission, too late to buy

It's always he and he knows why

He's living the lie, living the lie

How bad do you want it, how far will you go?



If you're looking at tomorrow

To forget about today

Then the past will be your future

And it's there you'll always stay

What about the pictures that smile from magazines

The ultimate temptation, all our kings and our queens



Such heat and too much pressure, not worth the try

No more for them, now it's I

And no more living the lie, living the lie

Oh why, live the lie

SAXON lyrics - Cloud Nine

It's show time.......



People say we're crazy but where's their sense of fun

Take it to the limit fly into the sun

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine

Flying into battle target on the ground

Screaming out of nowhere

At twice the speed of sound

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



So gather round you sinners listen to my song

About the time we raised some hell down in Babylon

I'm a warrior from the skies and you're about to die

So put your head between your legs

And kiss your ass good-bye

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



Taste the danger out there supersonic run

Loving every minute let the hostiles come

I'm doing fine on

Up on cloud nine

Racing through the canyons show no signs of fear

Static on the airwaves forget the landing gear

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



So gather round you sinners listen to my song

About the time we raised some hell down in Babylon

I'm a warrior from the skies and you're about to die

So put your head between your legs

And kiss your ass good-bye

I'm doing fine



Sonic boom there ain't no room up here in the sky

Take your aim and I feel no pain I'm never gonna die

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



So gather round you sinners listen to my song

About the time we raised some hell down in Babylon

I'm a warrior from the skies and you're about to die

So put your head between your legs

And kiss your ass good-bye

I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



I'm doing fine

Up on cloud nine



I'm doing fine

I'm up on cloud nine



Why don't you come up and see me sometime

Up on cloud nine

CHER lyrics - The Man I Love

Someday he'll come along

The man I love

And he'll be big so big and strong

The man, the man that I love

And when he comes my way

I'll do my best to make him stay



He's gonna look at me and smile

I'll understand

And in a little while

He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand

And though I know it seems obscure

I know it won't say

We won't say a word



[Chorus:]

Maybe I shall meet him sunday

Maybe monday maybe not

Still I'm gonna meet him one day

Cause maybe tuesday will be

My good news day

He'll build a little home meant just for 2

From which I'll never, never run with you

And so all else above

I'm waiting for the man I love



He's gonna look at me and smile

I'll understand

And in a little while

He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand

And though I know it seems obscure

I know it won't say

We won't say a word



[Chorus]

RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Tougher Than Leather

Unconcievable, unbelievable

Grammar like a hammer information recieveable

Sent by the lord, here and abroad

With words that were thought they could retort

For force because that makes Run the boss

So get lost, becuase I just tossed the poss

Make way today, and if I may, I say

I make pay with Jay, so get away OK?

Gaining weight, I ate the whole plate to date

Never make the break, I don't state the stake

Just keep the keep, don't sleep for weeks

Get peeps to leap, and I'll bleep the jeep

Put down the clown, get 'round the town

I've bound the sound, and I've found the crown

Get paid and laid, not jade afraid

'Cause I stayed and made, not a man to fade

Gotta group the troop, gotta shoot to shoot

Shoot hoop to scoop, or a scoop to loop

Going off and on, not soft to con

Just black and back to go back and run

Go to school and cool, not drool or pool

Gotta soul and goal and cold and old jewel

Upset the best, I met, met a jest

Just lest the pest, and I am the best

Gotta punch the crunch, cold munch the munch

Not Grady or the lady from the Brady Bunch

Got Gs and Lees, like Ds and Ts

Charge Bs for freeze, or Ds with ease

No dope to cope, just good to go

There's hope the Pope, big nope for nope

Quite clever and ever, but together forever

Run-DMC, and we're tougher than leather



Strong and mighty, hard as can be

Perception of the life were as strong as D

Every Friday I'm writing, write for what's right

It's even deeper in the night, I'm keepin with my mic

I gotta go for broke, and I ain't no joke

I'm gonna yoke the choke, 'cause of the suckers I smoke

Rush and crush, leave 'em in the dust

Bust the bust, those scum who mess with us

Only strong survive, and the weak will die

As long as I'm alive, I'll keep my head up high

'Cause we're strong in body, and smart in mind

I was born to bind, as the gift to mankind

I pump with jump, never givin no slack

I be killin' the villain, and I chillin' (you're black)

I'm not a bum, I'm not dumb, it's me you work from

I'm the king to my beat 'til my kingdom come



'Cause I'm rough and tough, call huff and puff

Don't bluff the stuff, got enough to muff

Don't long it on, go long on song

Go on and on, just the best be done

Put preach and teach, with a speech to reach

All streets in each, with beats for treats

Got the king supreme, may seem the gleam

With a beam the ream, no screen was seen

Not a gang to bang, or to hang with slang

Talkin angers ang, about everything

Just brothers and others, like fathers and mothers

Who discovered the lovers that think they're up and above us

No crime or time, just rhyme and lines

For roaming on no phone in time

Just cut the stuff, do you get enough?

'Cause we're rougher than tougher and rougher-tougher than tough



With a voice like thunder, words of wonder

All alone standing tall, and suckers roll under

Possessed with power, cowards will cower

Dogs we devour, hour after hour after hour

Three men riot, you can't deny it

Will so ill, that you can't defy it

Gonna live, positive, forever and ever

Run-DMC, and we're tougher than leather

BOSTON lyrics - Tell Me

(Scholz)



I stand on my own

And wonder if you've ever been alone

with all the world around you

Say the word; I'd be there

And like a fool I'd go anywhere

just like the day I found you



Tell me what you see

Tell me you believe in my love

Tell me what you need

Tell me you believe in my love



I don't understand what to say

You take my breath and then you walk away

Your life goes on without me



And you can look right at me

But in your eyes it's a mystery

What do you feel about me?



Tell me if it's real

Tell me what you feel in my love



Tell me what you see

Tell me you believe in my love



Tell me what to give

Tell me I can live for your love



Tell me not to leave

Tell me to believe in your love



I don't really know what to say

I don't know how but I could learn to pray

If praying makes you hear me



I could stay on my own

and wonder if I'd have ever known

I just want you near me



Tell me if it's real

Tell me what you feel in my love

Tell me what you need

Tell me you believe in my love

Tell what to give

Tell me how to live for your love



Tell me what you see

Tell me to believe in your love

IGGY POP lyrics - I Wanna Live

I see my future shuffling

A shakey step at a time

I got no choice but careful

Thank God I've done my crime

The tools I see on tv

Can't stand it when they fake

A prick's a prick at any age

Why give one a break?



I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live live live live live



The soul is in the eyeball

For anyone to see

l'm better than a Pepsi

l'm cooler than MTV

I'm hotter than Calilornia

l'm cheaper than a gram

I'm deeper thar the shit I'm in

An' I don't really give a damn



I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live a little bit longer now

I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live live live live live



Step up it's fight time

Kick scratch and bhite time

Ain't talking about no nnore fun

but that don't bother my bad ass none



I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live a little bit longer now

I wanna live a little bit longer

I wanna live live live live live

Just a little bit longer

I wanna live live live live live

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Rags To Riches

(Richard Adler and Jerry Ross)



[Originally by Tony Bennett]



I know I'd go from rages to riches

If you would only say you care

And though my pocket may be empty

I'd be a millionaire



My clothes may still be torn and tattered

But in my heart I'd be a king

Your love is all that ever mattered

It's everything



So open your arms and you'll open the door

To every treasure I'm hoping for

Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine evermore



Must I forever be a begger

Whose golden dreams will not come true

Or will I go from rags to riches

My fate is up to you



[Musical Interlude]



Must I forever be a begger

Whose golden dreams will not come true

Or will I go from rags to riches

My fate is up to you

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Generic Blues

I woke up this morning

Then I went back to bed

Said I woke up this morning

Then I went right back to bed

Got a funny kind of feelin' like I got broken glass in my underwear

And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head

You know what I'm sayin'



Well I ain't got not money

I'm just walkin' down the road

Said I ain't got no money, honey

So I'm just walking down this lonely old road

Well, I wish I could get me some money

But I forgot my automated teller code



I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer

I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor

My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tiles

My brothers and sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child



I got the blues so bad, woo

Kinda wish I was dead

Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama

Or maybe I'll, yeah maybe I'll just go bowlin' instead



I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime



Nothing but a low-down beer bellied, bone headed, pigeon toed, turkey necked, weasle faced, worthless hunk of slime



Guess I pretty low self image

Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something -- I

I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time

Make it talk

Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk

OK, now make it shut up



Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down

I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around

I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain

I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain



I got the blues so bad

Kinda wish I was dead

Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama

Or maybe I'll go bowling

Or I just might go bowling

Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling

Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid looking

shirt and go bowling instead

Yeah

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - See The Leaves

Without hope

Without love

She sees herself

From below and above



Her untied hand

She smears the spit

Pleasure and suffering

Her beliefs conflict



It brings a smile

She cannot pretend

To believe that life

Really has no end



See the leaves

They're dying again

See the moth

It's flying again



See the leaves

They're dying again

See the moth

It's flying again

See the grass

It's dying again

See the sun

It's trying again

It's trying again

It's trying again

It's trying again

It's trying again...

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Yellow Raven

(Ulrich Roth)



The yellow raven sipped the air

Of thunder and of rain...

The yellow raven sipped the air

Gentle eyes kissing the rain...



Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Take me away to somewhere

Take me away from here!

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Answer to my yearning

Take me away from here!



The firebird began to cry

When the music died away...

The firebird began to cry

And smoke was slowly drifting by...



Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Take me away to somewhere

Take me away from here!

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Answer to my yearning

Take me away from here...

DONNY AND MARIE OSMOND lyrics - Morning Side Of The Mountain

[Marie:] There was a girl

[Donny:] There was a boy



[Donny:]

There was a girl, there was a boy

If they had met they might have found a world of joy

But he lived on the morning side of the mountain

And she lived on the twilight side of the hill



[Marie:]

They never met, they never kissed

They will never know what happiness they've missed

'Cause he lived on the morningside of the mountain

And she lived on the twilight side of the hill



Both:

For love's a rose that never grows

Without the kiss of the morning dew

And every Jack must have a Jill

To know the thrill of a dream that comes true



[Donny:]

And you and I are just like they

For all we know our love is just a kiss away



[Marie:]

But you are on the morning side of the mountain



[Donny:]

And you are on the twilight side of the hill



Both:

And you and I are just like they

For all we know our love is just a kiss away



[Marie:]

But you are on the morning side of the mountain



[Donny:]

And you are on the twilight side of the hill



[Marie:]

There was a girl...



[Donny:]

There was a boy...

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Cocaine Blues

Ev'ry time my baby an' me we go uptown

Police come an' they knock me down

Cocaine, all around my brain.

Hey, baby, won't you come here quick;

This old cocaine is 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Yonder come my baby, she's dressed in red,

She's got a shotgun, says she's gonna kill me dead

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Hey, baby, will you come here quick;

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, all around my brain.



You take Sally, an' I take Sue,

Ain't no difference between the two

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Hey, baby, ya better come here quick;

This ol' cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Cocaine's for horses, an' it's not for men,

Doctors say they kill you, but it doesn't say when

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Hey, baby, ya better come here quick;

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, all around my brain.



Hey, baby, you better come here quick;

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, all around my brain.

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Lo And Behold

Lonely by day, empty and cold, only to say lo and behold.

Deep in the night, down in my dreams, glorious sight this soul has seen.



There's a well on the hill, you just can't kill for Jesus, there's a well on the hill, let it be.

Don't build no heathen temples where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,

there's a well on the hill, let it be



Everyone's talking 'bout the gospel story, some shall sink and some shall rise.

Everyone's talking 'bout the train to glory. Long, long time till it gets here to you, baby.



There's a well on the hill, you just can't kill for Jesus, there's a well on the hill, let it be.

Don't build no heathen temples where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,

there's a well on the hill, let it be

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Schnappschuss (Ein Familienfoto)

Die Kameras sind schon lange hier

Reporter stehen Spalier

heute ist es anders

heute nicht wie sonst

heute mach ich es endlich

den Schnappschuss in das Licht

Schnappschuss in das Licht

- Ich ziele in das Licht



Vier Strassen noch braucht der Zug

den Fahrer blendet die Sonne

Gewehr hinterm Fensterkreuz

keiner sieht's in der Kolonne



Drei Strassen noch, die Kreuzung ist frei

jetzt faengt der Jubel an

du hoerst im Radio

was dieser Mann alles kann



Ich - zeig es euch jetzt

Ich - zeig es euch jetzt

Ihr glotzt nur auf die Scheibe

Nummer fuer die Datenbank

einen Schuss brenn ich euch in den Kopf

lerr, ausgetraeumt und krank

nur ich, ich l e b e



Sie kommen um die Ecke

Motorradschutz ganz vorn

ich wisch den Schweiss von der Stirn

- von unten Gebruell

- ich werde ganz still

im andern Wagen faehrt der Gouverneur

doch ihn hab ich nicht im Visier

du bist - Held des Tages

stolz im Cadillac



"Du bist nicht zum Hassen

- eigentlich ganz egal

wir brauchen uns beide

- perfekte Wahl

ich will Liebe von allen

wie bei dir soll es sein

was du nicht kriegst musst du holen

und ich hol dich jetzt ein."



Atem stoppt

Abzug springt

und die

Kugel durch den Lauf



Diese Stille - was kann ich dafuer?

einsamer Junge hinter der Tuer

die Freunde sind alle weg

da ist mein Spielzeuggewehr

wo seid ihr - Mama und Papa

ihr redet nicht mehr

ich werd trauriger Jahr fuer Jahr

schaut mich an -

- ich ziele in das Licht

BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - B-Boy Bouillabaisse: Dropping Names

(Beastie Boys/Dust Bros.)



Take P. C.P.



He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost

He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost

She's slippin through his fingers as she's movin' out to the coast

He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost



Well if your world was all black and if your world was all white

Well then you wouldn't get much color out of life now right

A nickname Shamrock well my name is not Shamus

Girlies on the tippy cause my homie is famous

My name is not O'Houigheighi nor is it Brian

If I said that I was weak man you know I'd be lyin' well

Suckers try to bite yea they try to pursue it

"Yea explain to a musician them knew it, but them can't do"

ROD STEWART lyrics - I Only Have Eyes For You

Are the stars out tonight?

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright

Cause I only have eyes for you dear

The moon may be high

But I can't see a thing in the sky

Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden

Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I

Maybe millions of people go by

But they all disappear from view

And I only have eyes for you



I don't know if we're in a garden

Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I

Maybe millions of people go by

But they all disappear from view

And I only have eyes

Yes I only have eyes for you

For you

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Lonely Road

(McCartney)



I tried to get over you

I tried to find something new

But all I could ever do

Was fill my time

With thoughts of you



I tried to go somewhere old

To search for my pot of gold

But all I could ever hold

Inside my mind

Were thoughts of you



I hear your music

And it's driving me wild

Familiar rhythms

In a different style

I hear your music

And it's driving me wild again



Don't want to let you take me down

Don't want to get hurt second time around

Don't want to walk that lonely road again



I hear your music

And it's driving me wild

Familiar rhythms

In a different style

I hear your music

And it's driving me wild again



Don't want to let you take me down

Don't want to get hurt second time around

Don't want to walk that lonely road again



Don't want to let you take me down

Don't want to get hurt second time around

Don't want to walk that lonely road again



Ad lib to end

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Stars On The Water

Down in Louisiana bayous by and by

Perogue pole or your natural soul

Keeps you tied to a tree high tide

Beer joint lights come on

And then the crowd starts rollin' in



(Pretty soon you got) stars on the water

(Just like) stars on the water

You got stars on the water, let it rain



Beaumont to Biloxi

Sea breeze at your door

Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes

White silver sandy shores

The "Blue Light" lounge is shinin'

Way out on the view



(It looks just like) stars on the water

(Just like) stars on the water

Looks like stars on the water, let it rain



When it's midnight down in Mobile

Shinin' moonbeams on the bay

They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down

And dig the good time sounds they all play

And all across the harbour

Night lights shinin' in



(It looks just like) stars on the water

(Just like) stars on the water

(Feels like) stars on the water, let it rain
