PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Love Is An Illusion

(C. Fuller/M. Reilly/T. Goshorn)



Lately I don't know what's going on with me

I feel so different is it somethin' that I failed to see

Yesterday I had you near and it was oh so right

But now you're gone and I can't tell day from night

Close your eyes and see me standin' here

Love or lies everything just disappears



Love is an illusion... never what it seems

Love is just confusion... it's the stuff of broken dreams



I see you walkin' down the main line

You've got your red dress on and you're lookin' so fine

Like a fool I'd run to you with my heart in hand

But you're blind to the things I do and I'll never understand

And I close my eyes look at me and I see you standin' here

And it's not a surprise... everything just disappears



Love is an illusion... it slips right through your hand

Love is just confusion... an' I'll never.. never understand



Love is an illusion... it's a shadow of your smile

Love is just confusion... an' it's with me.. with me all the while



If I could have you here tonight... If I could only hold you tight

Maybe we could figure out why we ever let it go



Love is an illusion... it slips right through your hand

Love is just confusion... an' I'll never.. never understand



Love is an illusion... oh it's just a shadow in your smile

Love is just confusion... an' it's with me all the while



Love is an illusion

Love is just confusion

Love is an illusion

Love is just confusion

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Once I was a sentimental thing;

threw my heart away each spring.

Now a spring romance

hasn't got a chance.

Promised my first dance to winter.

All I've got to show's a splinter

for my little fling.



Spring this year has got me feeling

like a horse that never left the post.

I lie in my room

staring up at the ceiling.

Spring can really hang you up the most.



Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,

and to them I'd like to drink a toast.

But I walk in the park

just to kill the lonely hours.

Spring can really hang you up the most.



All afternoon the birds twitter-twitt.

I know the tune. This is love, this is it.

Heard it before

and don't I know the score.

And I've decided that spring is a bore.



Love seems sure around the new year.

Now it's April. Love is just a ghost.

Spring arrived on time,

only what became of you, dear?

Spring can really hang you up the most.

Spring can really hang you up the most.



Love came my way. I thought it would last.

We had our day, now it's all in the past.

Spring came along, a season of song,

full of sweet promise

but something went wrong.



Doctors once prescribed a tonic.

Sulfur and molasses was the dose.

Didn't help one bit.

My condition must be chronic.

Spring can really hang you up the most.



All alone, the party is over.

Old man winter was a gracious host.

But when you keep praying

for snow to hide the clover,

spring can really hang you up the most.

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Papa, Can You Hear Me?

(Filled with a love for learning, Yentl has

no choice after her father dies but to disguise

herself as a man, so that she can pursue all

her "sweet-imagined possibilities." Her

journey begins...)

[Prayer]

Oh God-our heavenly Father.

Oh, God-and my father

Who is also in heaven.

May the light of this

Flickering candle

Illuminate the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul.



Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa can you find me in the night?

Papa are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?

Looking at the skies I seem to see

A million eyes which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker;

The wind is so much colder;

The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone.

Papa, please forgive me.

Try to understand me;

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying,

Anything I'm saying

Even though the night is filled with voices?

I remember everything you taught me

Every book 1've ever read...

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller;

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright...

Papa, how I love you...

Papa, how I need you.

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me good night...

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Dancing With The Big Boys

Something's going on in society

(Dancing with the big boys)

You chew your fingers and stare at the floor

(Dancing with the big boys)

One wrong word and you're out of sync

Talking bout a hands on policy

(Big boys)

Death to the trees

(Dancing with the big boys)

They weren't bad, they weren't brave

Nothing is embarrassing

(Dancing with the big boys)

There are too many people, too much belief

(Dancing with the big boys)

Where there's trouble there's poetry

(Dancing with the big boys)

Your family is a football team

(Big boys)

This dot marks your location

(Dancing with the big boys)

Loneliness in a free society

(Dancing with the big boys)

(Big boys)

This can be embarrassing

(Big boys)

(Dancing with the big boys)

(Big boys)

(Big boys)

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Shine A Light

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine

With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.

Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.

Berber jew'lry jangling down the street,

Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet.

Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,

Make every song [you sing] your favorite tune.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,

Warm like the evening sun.

When you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn

And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.

Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.

Angels beating all their wings in time,

With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.

Whoa, thought I heard on sigh for you,

Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,

Make every song you sing your favorite tune.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,

Warm like the evening sun.(x2)

BILLY JOEL lyrics - To Make You Feel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love



When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love



I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong



I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love



The storms are raging on the rollin' sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet



I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

ERASURE lyrics - 2000 Miles

(Clarke / Bell)



There's something I need to say (hey yeah yeah)

I'm not sad you're going away now (hey yeah)

Won't be calling information (no sir-ee)

Or waiting at the railway station (whoo whoo)



You walked outta my front door

I wasn't then, but now I'm sure



I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you



Had to get me to the church on time

Say that silly I do, I do nursery rhyme (I do I do I do I do I)

You've been bitching at me for a while (yeah yeah yeah)

Say hey now baby don't you cramp my style (uh)



Don't go beating me like that

I'm glad you won't be coming back



I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you



Don't go beating me like that

I'm glad you won't be coming back



I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you



And the further away from me you are

The better, as far as I'm concerned

JOHN LENNON lyrics - Woman Is The Nigger Of The World

Woman is the nigger of

the world

Yes she is...think about it

Woman is the nigger of

the world

Think about it...do

something about it



We make her paint her

face and dance

If she won't be slave, we

say that she don't love us

If she's real, we say she's

trying to be a man

While putting her down we

pretend that she is above us

Woman is the nigger of

the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a

look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of

the slaves

Ah yeah...better screem

about it

We make her bear and raise

our children

And then we leave her flat for

being a fat old mother hen

We tell her home is the only

place she would be

Then we complain that she's

too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of

the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a

look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of

the slaves

Yeah (think about it)



We insult her everyday on TV

And wonder why she has no

guts or confidence

When she's young we kill her

will to be free

While telling her not to be so

smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of

the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a

look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of

the slaves

Yes she is...if you belive me,

you better screem about it.



Repeat:

We make her paint her

face and dance

We make her paint her

face and dance We make her paint her

face and dance

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Straight Talk

(Dolly Parton)



Gimme some straight talk, straight talk - and hold the sugar please

Straight talk, straight talk - sounds plenty sweet to me

Don't talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we're gonna be alright



'Cause I like to know just where I stand, I don't like guessing games

And I hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain

Don't use big educated words from your BS Degree

Straight talk, straight talk - don't try B. S.-ing me



Straight talk, straight talk - turn loose and let it go

You can tell me anything - just like on Oprah's show

Just tell me how you really feel, be on the up and up

With questions I can understand - for answers you can trust



Pick up the 'phone, you're not alone - we've all got something to say

So listen in and listen up - we'll find a better way

With honesty and common sense, it's really hard to miss

Straight talk, straight talk - just tellin' it like it is



Straight talk, straight talk - there's nothing like the truth

Just tell me all your troubles - pretend I'm Donahue

So don't be shy, 'cause we can talk - you know you've got a friend

Call me, call me - for simple straight talkin'



What's cookin', America?



Straight talk, Straight talk

Straight talk, Straight talk



So come on let's talk turkey, just straight and to the point

About passions, about problems, about noses out of joint

Now I want you all to know I care and I do understand

And hey, thanks for lending me an ear out there in radioland



Give me some straight talk, straight talk - don't sugar coat it please

Straight talk, straight talk - sounds sweet enough to me

But don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive

Straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright

Straight talk, straight talk - makes plenty sense to me

Don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright

SANDRA lyrics - Heartbeat (That's Emotion)

Heartbeat that's emotion

Heartbeat it's devotion

Ever more desire

Tell me is 'someone who's better



Heartbeat that's emotion

Heartbeat it's devotion

Ever more desire

Tell me is someone who's better

In my life



Oh, I don't know if your love is right

On, take you love away

I'm jealous by this begging you to stay

Even if I dream of you

I'm doing all the scenes

I never thought you do it once again



I get my time to be a lyer



Heartbeat that's emotion

Heartbeat it's devotion

Ever more desire

Tell me is 'someone who's better



Heartbeat that's emotion

Heartbeat it's devotion

Ever more desire

Tell me is 'someone who's better

In my life



I lock my soul for many times

Changing fellings in me

Calling circles of

Confusion leaving me



I get my time to be a lyer



Heartbeat, heartbeat

Heartbeat, heartbeat

Heartbeat, heartbeat

That's emotion



Heartbeat, heartbeat

Heartbeat, heartbeat

Heartbeat, heartbeat

More desire

Tell me is someone who's better



Heartbeat, heartbeat

That's emotion

Heartbeat, heartbeat

It's devotion

Ever more desire

Tell me is someone who's better...

TEENA MARIE lyrics - The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)

I wanna read your mind, know your deepest feelings

I wanna make it right for you

Baby, show me, let me share the mystery

Listen to your heart tonite

We can make it right



[Patti LaBelle:]

I know a melody that we could sing together

I've got the secret key to you baby

Let's make music, harmonizing ecstacy

Hey come on sing it to me

Here in the garden where temptation feels so right

Passion makes you fall for what you feel

In the garden we can make it come alive everynight, oh

Your secret garden



[Teena Marie:]

I need to be with you, Let me lay beside you

Do what you want me to all night

Gonna hold you, baby can I touch you there

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I can keep you satisfied

Baby, please stay oh darling

Here in the secret garden

Where temptation feels so right

Passion can make you fall for what you feel

In the garden we can make it come alive

Every night every single night

I'll be your woman in the garden

Come play with me here in my garden



If ya think I'm gonna take care of you

If ya think I got what you need

Sho you right

If you think I'm gonna be good to you

If ya think I like what you do

Sho you right

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - Someday We'll Be Together

(R. Beavers/J. Bristol/H. Fuqua)



Someday we'll be together

Say, say, say it again

Someday we'll be together

Oh, yeah, oh yeah



You're far away

From me my love

And just as sure my, my baby

As there are stars above

I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say



Someday we'll be together

Yes we will, yes we will

Say, someday (some sweet day) we'll be together

I know, I know, I know, I know



My love is yours, baby

Oh, right from the stars

You, you, you posess my soul now honey

And I know, I know you own my heart

And I wanna say:



Someday we'll be together

Some sweet day we'll be together

Yes we will, yes we will

Someday (tell everybody) we'll be together

Yes we will, yes we will



Long time ago

My, my sweet thing

I made a big mistake, honey

I said, I said goodbye

Oh, oh baby

Ever, ever, ever since that day

Now, now all I wanna do is cry, cry



Hey, hey, hey

I long for you every night

Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips

Hold you ever, ever so tight

And I wanna say:



Someday we'll be together

Yes we will, yes we will

EDDIE KENDRICKS lyrics - Shoeshine Boy

Shoeshine boy

How you do your work so well

Shoeshine boy

Tryin' to make a livin, you go somewhere

Shoeshine boy

Where are you gonna be ten years from now

(Just move, just keep workin')



Shoeshine boy, I wanna know

Are you gonna be the richest man around

You've been a-workin' so hard

So many things in life to learn

Shoeshine boy, what will you discover



Though it's a long way up, you'll reach the top

Now when you'll finally get back

(Don't forget) forget (where) you come

Shoeshine boy, workin' so hard in the noon day sun

(Just, just keep workin')



(Shoeshine boy) look at ya now, gettin' it together

Teasing the guys and havin' lots of fun

Shoeshine boy, yeah, don't you know that you're a star

(Yeah, you're a star)



(Shoeshine boy) just the way, just the way that you are

You've been a-workin' so hard

So many things in life to learn (So much to learn)

Shoeshine boy, what will you discover



Yeah, shoeshine boy

Shoeshine boy

You've been a-workin' so hard

Shoeshine boy



Don't you know that you're a star

Hmmmm, that's the way that you are

WILL SMITH lyrics - La Fiesta

Mic check, mic, mic, mic, mic, mic, mic

Uh gimme more heat

Uh gimme more heat

Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah



[Chorus:]

Everybody in the front now (whoot, whoot)

Everybody in the back now (whoot, whoot)

Everybody on the side now (whoot, whoot)

La fiesta (whoot, whoot)

All the ladies in da house now (whoot, whoot)

All the fellas in da house now (whoot, whoot)

Everybody in the house now (whoot, whoot)

La fiesta (whoot, whoot)



If I approach you correctly

And step up to you respectfully

Will you please ma'am bless me with the next dance?

I don't intend to offend you

I only intend to befriend you

But you're willing me, thrilling me, killing me

With those hot pants, not a chance

I'mma let you go without saying something

A little hotter in the bottom mama that's all that I'm wanting

No frontin' if it is illegal for you to be that fine

I be McGruff mama taking a bite out of crime

Literally, first it'll be dancing with me

Then it'll be dinner with me

Then it'll be back to my crib

Hold up, I'm about to get ahead of myself

And I'm playing myself

The type of brother that when I'm thinking of stuff

I'm saying the stuff

My bad, back it up let's start with a dance

On good behavior, maybe later

Maybe your apartment, your pad

Sike, joke, walking a tight rope

My foot in my mouth

Look, all I hope is that you'll dance with me

What's up?



[Chorus]



She was smiling I was kind wiling

Thinking I was dialin' in

She gave me the impression that she was getting my message

So I'm testing

I through it out there 'Let me buy you a drink'

Cause when I buy you I think it'd be fly if we link

What'cha think?

She responded with a grin and a glance

Then my eyes tried to seduce her to the forbidden dance

The body of a Latin goddess, sexy but modest

The hottest mami chula from Cuba, a cutie with promise

The other night I seen her dancing

Duty was over

She did a split into a spin

And put her leg on his shoulder

And he was over

If that was me and I was he

We'd probably still be dancing

Mami can you feel me?

Still she said nothing

Why she be fronting?

Never seen another mami move like you

Groove like you

I'm saying I wanna dance with you

What's up?



[Chorus]



To me when I'm dancing it's aphrodisiatic

It's automatic that I look in your eyes to help fantasize

Some people dance socially not emotionally

Closer to me, come on close as you can be

(Can you feel me?)

Come on mama cut me no slack

(Can you feel me?)

Come on mama forward and back

(Can you feel me?)

Come on mama as hard as you can

It's part of the plan

It happens when you start with the man

On your mark, ready set, baby let's go

Baby let's flow, baby let go

Baby no, no, gotta a lot more

Lettin' it rip, gimme some of that

[girl yells]

Yeah that's it

Sweatin' with me, getting it wetter with me

It's better with me

Gain it, other girls I dated ain't famous

So take it or leave it

Just the way that I eat it

I bring, I swing it

So you like that?

Tell me what's up



Repeat 1 till end

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - California Girls

Well East coast girls are hip

I really dig those styles they wear

And the Southern girls with the way they talk

They knock me out when I'm down there



The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright

And the Northern girls with the way they kiss

They keep their boyfriends warm at night



I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls



The West coast has the sunshine

And the girls all get so tanned

I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island

Dolls by a palm tree in the sand



I been all around this great big world

And I seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states

Back to the cutest girls in the world



I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls



I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Singing A Vagabond Song

I'm a wanderer on life's highway

I'm not one of that great legion with their traveling care

And though I haven't much religion

Here's my only prayer



Give me the road the wide winding highway

Just let me know the done beaten byways

And I'll travel along singing a vagabond song



Well give me the flowers the birds singing in the morning

Just let me see that sunrise and dawning

And I'll travel along singing a vagabond song



Happy you may be with your fashions, your passions, your smug little parts you play

You could never fool me with your fool me your jewelry all I can say

(Both) Give me the road the wide winding highway

(JL) --- something unintelligible ---

Traveling along singing a vagabond song

JAMES DARREN lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World

(Gloria Shayne)



(Goodbye cruel world)

(Goodbye cruel world)



Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus

Gonna be a broken-hearted clown

Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile

'cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down



(Goodbye cruel world)



Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus

Gotta find a way to hide my tears

Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle

And I'll forget that woman if it takes a hundred years



Oh oh oh, step right up and take a look at a fool

He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule

C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh

And no one could tell his heart is broken in half



Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus

Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me

Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care

Let the people point at me and stare

I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be

That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me



(Goodbye cruel world)



Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care

Let the people point at me and stare

I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be

That mean, fickle woman made a cryin' clown outta me



Goodbye cruel world



Goodbye cruel world



[Fade]



Goodbye cruel world



Goodbye cruel world

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Official Suburban Superman

(Quatro/Tuckey)



Give me the man who ain't like no other man

Gives lovin' freely

Official Suburbian Superman



No dirty laundry lyin' over the chair

No moody Judy

Vacuum cleaner salesman of the year



Acts like Mr. Snow White with all his seven dwarves

And the streets they're lined with lamplights

And there's one for every door

The gates ain't even pad locked

And the windows are open wide

And the drapes...they're pulled completely

For what the have to hide



Keeper of the castle don't know what's been goin' on

The lock on lady Love-Life

Don't appear to be so very strong

Well, ladies if you look you'd better leave that door ajar

Wham, bam and thank you

The Official Suburbian Superman

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Disciple

(Tom Johnston)



Night time, I jumped back in the alley

Saw a shadow closin' in

And blue smoke all around the figure

A knife blade is flashing grim

I made my move to get away

Seems like nowhere to run

All of a sudden I was blinded by a flash

Devil of a man with a gun

Lightnin', it crackled all around me

Storm clouds are movin' in

The blue smoke cleared so fast around me

The strange hunter's gone again

I looked up to see what had happened

There he stood in front of me

He had a silver cape and eyes of red

With a button down limousine

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

'cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less



I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you



So if you're mad, get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads

And don't know which path to choose

Let me come along

'cause even if you're wrong



I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you



And when...

When the night falls on you, baby

You're feeling all alone

You won't be on your own



I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you



I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

THE RAMONES lyrics - Take It As It Comes

Time to live, time to lie

Time to laugh, time to die



Take it easy baby

Take it as it comes

Don't move too fast

if you want your love to last

you've been moving much too fast



Time to walk, time to run

Time to aim your arrows at the sun



Go real slow

You'll like it more and more

Take it as it comes

Specialize in having fun



Moving much too fast

Moving much too fast

ACCEPT lyrics - X-T-C

I just don't believe

How I keep a runnin'

Women keep me lovin'

Give me all their funnin'



Rock of life seems like a hell of a load

Like a hell of a load



Crazy horse rockin' somehow I belong

Here in the dark of the nihgt

When pushin' comes to showin' you never know

How much a man like me can take



Rock of life seems like a hell of a load

(Rock) - rock of life



You give me just another - (just another)

Just another X-T-C

(Just another) - just another

(Just another) X-T-C



Rats in my cellar somehow I belong here

In the back of the street

Switch blade passion

Why don't you see it for the final scene



(Rock) - rock of life

You gotta feel your X-T-C - (X-T-C)

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Real Love

(Michael McDonald/Patrick Henderson)



Darlin', I know

I'm just another head on your pillow

If only just tonight, girl

Let me hear you lie just a little

Tell me I'm the only man

That you ever really loved

Honey take me back

Deep in my memory

A time when it was all very right

So very nice

Here, Darlin', stands another bandit wantin' you

In and out your life, they come and they go

Your days and nights like a wheel that turns

Grindin' down a secret part of you

Deep inside your heart

That nobody knows



When you say comfort me

To anyone who approaches

Chalkin' up the hurt

We live and we learn

Well we've both lived long enough to know

We'd trade it all right now

For just one minute of real love

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Bless The Children Of The World

[Henry Faust on Easter Eve in South Bend, playing an electric guitar]:



Faust: Sometimes you know that I think that I

Will surely go insane



Got suicide and murder

Runnin' in and out my brain



I dream of love, I dream of hate

I dream of death and pain



But no matter how I try

The dream remains the same

The same



Four little piggies

Up against the wall

Four little piggies 'gainst the wall

Backup Faustettes: 'Gainst the wall

F: One little piggie

Catch a bullet and he falls

Now there's three little piggie 'gainst the wall

BF: 'Gainst the wall

F: Second little piggie

Gets a bullet in the eye

BF: Bullet in the eye

F: Last little piggie

Falls to his knees and cries

'Cause he's blown away blown away

Blown away



[Henry moves to the front of the stage and plays an acoustic guitar]

Bless the children of the world

Give us all a chance to grow and live

Give us all you've got to give

Bless the children of the world



Bless the children of the world

We're the one's who'll have to carry on

Even though all hope is gone

Bless the children of the world



All we need is understanding

A sign to show us that you care

It isn't love that we're demanding

Just be there



Bless the children of the world

All we want is just to live our life

All we ask is to be free

Let it be

And bless the children of the world

Bless us bless us

Please bless us

Bless the children of the world

PHIL HARRIS lyrics - The Thing

(Charles R. Grean)



While I was walkin' down the beach

One bright and sunny day

I saw a great big wooden box

A-floatin' in the bay

I pulled it in and opened it up

And much to my surprise

Oh, I discovered a...

Right before my eyes

Oh, I discovered a...

Right before my eyes



I picked it up and ran to town

As happy as a king

I took it to a guy I knew

Who'd buy most anything

But this is what he hollered at me

As I walked in his shop

"Oh, get out of here with that...

Before I call a cop"

"Oh, get out of here with that...

Before I call a cop"



I turned around and got right out

A-runnin' for my life

And then I took it home with me

To give it to my wife

But this is what she hollered at me

As I walked in the door

"Oh, get out of here with that...

And don't come back no more"

"Oh, get out of here with that...

And don't come back no more"



[Instrumental Interlude]



I wandered all around the town

Until I chanced to meet

A hobo who was lookin' for

A handout on the street

He said he'd take most any old thing

He was a desperate man

But when I showed him the...

He turned around and ran

Oh, when I showed him the...

He turned around and ran



I wandered on for many years

A victim of my fate

Until one day I came upon

St Peter at the gate

And when I tried to take it inside

He told me where to go

Get out of here with that...

And take it down below

Oh, get out of here with that...

And take it down below



The moral of this story is

If you're out on the beach

And you should see a great big box

And it's within your reach

Don't ever stop and open it up

That's my advice to you

'Cause you'll never get rid of the...

No matter what you do

Oh, you'll never get rid of the...

No matter what you do

BON JOVI lyrics - (It's Hard) Letting You Go

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep

And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep

I wish the stars up in the sky

Would all just call in sick

And the clouds would take the moon out

On some one-way trip



I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend

But somehow they drove me back here once again

To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul

I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home

It would all have been so easy

If you'd only made me cry

And told me how you're leaving me

To some organ grinder's lullaby



It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart

It's hard letting you go



Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue

And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to

Well - me, these days

I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane

Unless you're coming back for me

That's one thing I know that won't change



It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart

It's hard letting you go



Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart

And we'll find you somebody else new

But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips

When I bet all that I had on you



It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard

It's hard letting you go

It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart

But it's hard letting you go

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Runaway Train

(Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Olle Romo)



[Lethal Weapon III Soundtrack]



There's a hungry road I can only hope's

Gonna eat me up inside.

There's a drifting spirit coming clean

In the eye of a lifelong fire.

Till Monday I'll be around next week;

I'm running ahead of my days.

In the shotgun chance that scattered us,

I've seen the error of my ways.



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.



Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns

Like sun gods spitting rain.

Found a way home written on this map

Like red dye in my veins.

In the hardest times that come around,

The fear of losing grows.

I've lost and seen the world shut down;

It's a darkness no one knows.



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.



And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain.

I'm standing in a station waiting in the rain.

I'm starting to feel a little muscle again,

But love is lost like a runaway train.



I'm out of control and out of my hands.

I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land.

I'm trying to get a grip on my life again.

Nothing hits harder than a runaway train.



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.



[Repeat First Chorus]



[Repeat Second Chorus]

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Win

Me, I hope that I'm crazy

I feel you driving and you're only the wheel

Slow down, let someone love you

Ohh, I've never touched you since I started to feel

If there's nothing to hide me

Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired

Somebody lied, I say it's hip

To be alive



[CHORUS]

Now your smile is wearing (spreading?) thin

Seems you're trying not to lose

Since I'm not supposed to win

All you've got to do is win

Me, I'm fresh on your pages

Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud

Life lies dumb on its heroes

Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud

Someone like you should not be allowed

To start any fires



[CHORUS]

Now your smile is wearing (spreading?) thin

Seems you're trying not to lose

Since I'm not supposed to win

All you've got to do is win

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Nothing Better To Do

Well it was raining that December

I was turning 23

On my way to Hollywood via Tennessee

I was looking for adventure

I was hooked on L. S.D.

I was dreamin' bout the girls

That were goin' down on me



I'll just stay and spend the night

With you 'cause I know you ain't

Got nothing better to do



Well I was feeling pretty thin

It was lookin' pretty grim

Got a herd of hurdy gurdies

At the Rainbow Bar & Grill

Well she ain't too fuckin' pretty

But she ain't my fuckin' wife

As long as I don't end up

On the back side of her knife



I'll just stay and spend the night

With you 'cause I know you ain't

Got nothing better to do



So I hooked up with a band

Second baddest in the land

Eating sushi in Oklahoma

Smokin' green bud in Japan

But the wheels they keep on turnin'

20 people in the crowd

But I love to hear 'em scream

When we're bringin' down the house



I'll just stay and spend the night

With you 'cause I know you ain't

Got nothing better to do

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Silver, Blue & Gold

In the beginning, I believed every word that you said,

Now that you're gone my world is in shreds.

Oh, you loved me and left me,

You took all the things that I needed so bad,

I'm standing here wondering where is the love that I had?

Oh, give me silver, blue and gold,

The colour of the sky I'm told,

My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.



In the beginning, yeah,

There was something of love that was mine,

Now that it's gone, whoa, I'm cryin'.



Oh, the time that it takes for a love

To grow cold is a wonder to me,

I'm walkin' around with my head

Hangin' down, tell me where is she?



Give me silver, blue and gold,

The colour of the sky I'm told,

My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.



Don't forsake me 'cause I love you.

Don't forsake me 'cause I love you.

Give me silver, blue and gold,

The colour of the sky I'm told.

My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

Give me silver, blue and gold,

The colour of the sky I'm told.

My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

Now, give me silver, blue and gold,

The colour of the sky I'm told.

My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue, yeah.



Oh, don't forsake me 'cause I love you.

Don't forsake me 'cause I love you, yeah.

THE KINKS lyrics - It's Alright (Don't Think About It)

They want your mind and your body

But they don't understand

And don't care much about it

Gotta work for your country

Society's built on concrete and money

If this room was to vanish

And the toys of man turned to civilized dust

There'd still be you and me, honey

With our history gone

But the spirit lives on



Build those highways, build those cars

On a planet full of scrap metal

There'd better be life on Mars



[Chorus:]

It's alright, it's alright

If you don't think about it

It's alright

If you don't look at it, it's alright



How time slips away

Live by the Good Book

That's what the wise men say

But where does it leave us

Were they right or were they wrong

Gotta have hope, gotta carry on



It's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright



They want your soul and your spirit

Make them understand

These things they never can have

Gotta work for your family

A community built on trust, not money

If this town was to vanish

And the office blocks were just turned into ashes

They'd be you and me, honey

With the will to survive

And the spirit lives on



Build those factories

Plants and cars

On a planet so desecrated

There'd better be life on Mars



[Chorus]



How time slips away

Live by the Good Book

That's what the wise men say

But where does it leave us

Were they right or were they wrong

Gotta have hope

Gotta carry on



It's alright, it's alright

GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Anything Goes

I been thinkin' 'bout

Thinkin' 'bout sex

Always hungry for somethin'

That I haven't had yet

Maybe baby you got somethin' to lose

Well I got somethin',

I got somethin' for you



My way-your way

Anything goes tonight

My way-your way

Anything goes



Panties 'round your knees

With your ass in debris

Doin' dat grind

with a push and squeeze

Tied up, tied down,

up against the wall

Be my rubbermade baby

An' we can do it all



My way-your way

Anything goes tonight

MADONNA lyrics - Love Song

Je suis prete. Est-ce que vous etes pret, aussi?



Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind

Oh no baby my love isn't blind

Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind

Don't go givin' me one of your lines



Say what you mean, mean what you say

Don't go and throw our love away

God strike me dead if I did you wrong

This is not a love song



Are you just being kind

Am I losing my mind



Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

And those who run seem to have all the fun

But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine

Are you just being kind



Nowhere to run nowhere to hide

That's how I feel, don't fog my mind



Mean what you say or baby I am gone

This is not a love song



Are you just being kind

Am I losing my mind



Love song, love song

Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you

I'm gone but I just want you to know

That this is not a love song that I want to sing

AC/DC lyrics - Let There Be Rock

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)



In the beginning

Back in nineteen fifty five

Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show

And all that jive

The white man had the schmaltz

The black man had the blues

No one knew what they was gonna do

But Tschaikovsky had the news

He said let there be sound

There was sound

Let there be light

There was light

Let there be drums

There was drums

Let there be guitar

There was guitar

Let there be rock



And it came to pass

That rock 'n' roll was born

All across the land every rockin' band

Was blowin' up a storm

And the guitar man got famous

The business man got rich

And in every bar there was a superstar

With a seven year itch

There was fifteen million fingers

Learnin' how to play

And you could hear the fingers pickin'

And this is what they had to say

Let there be light

Sound

Drums

Guitar

Let there be rock



One night in the club called the shakin' hand

There was a 42 decibel rockin' band

And the music was good and the music was loud

And the singer turned and he said to the crowd

Let there be rock

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Suicidal Man

(Box/Byron/Hensley/Kerslake/Thain)



Waiting by the window

Staring at my shadow

Not believing what I'd seen

Touching but not feeling

And wondering in what I was dealing

And not knowing where I'd been



So I began walking

And to myself I was talking

But didn't know which way to go

Then I found a direction

And now I needed some action

But I should have just said no

Should have said no



Why won't you help me or give me hand

'Cause I'm close to becoming a suicidal man

What I need is someone with a definite plan

For I've waited for just about as long as I can



Suicidal man, suicidal, suicidal

Suicidal man



So on my travels

Still with all my troubles

I found someone who cared

The answer was so easy

That all she did to please me

Was to say a problem's smaller when it's shared



He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man

He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man

Who was he, suicidal man, who was he, suicidal man

suicidal man, suicidal man

(ad lib vocals to end)

TOM JONES lyrics - Feels Like Music

Day trippin', so reapin'

Girl in a rock and roll band

Lights out, so loud

Better than you ever had



Feels like music

Pumpin' trough your veins

Feels like music

Coming back again



Shake down, take down

Knocking to a different beat

One touch, head rush

Drop it one more time for me



Feels like music

Like you ain't never heard

Feels like music

All around the world



Well, If you're wired by the sound

And you want to sing it out, sing it!

Yes, If you're wired by the sound

And you want to shake it down, shake it!



Feels like music

Like you ain't never heard

Feels like music

All around the world



Midnight, so fine

I love the way you twist and turn

Don't fight, hold tight

Baby, let it burn, let it burn



Feels like music

Pumpin' trough your veins

Feels like music

And coming back again



Day trippin', so reapin'

Girl in a rock and roll band

Lights out, so loud

Better than you ever had



Feels like music

Pumpin' trough your veins

Feels like music

Coming back again



Feels like music

Like you ain't never heard

Feels like music

All around the world



Shake down, take down

Knocking to a different beat

One touch and head rush

Drop it one more time for me



Feels like music

Pumpin' trough your veins

Feels like music

And coming back again



Feels like music

Like you ain't never heard

Feels like music

All around the world

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Latin Lightnin'

(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)



Latin lightning strikes again

Wilder than a hurricane

He's counting on the dollars of you wealthy mothers

Look at that gigolo go



He's a devil, no pity, no shame

I'm a gonna get his picture framed

When he takes the stage it's frightening

Latin lightnin'

Spinnin' a cyclone man alive and a kicking

High heel machine gun rap arriba, faster, faster

You'll be in a daze all night just watchin'

Latin lightnin'



When Latin lightnin' falls in love

Everybody knows what he's dreamin' of

Casino's, chateaus, Havana cigars

Private jets and flashy cars



He's ruthless, the ladies claim

I'm a gonna get his picture framed



When he takes the stage it's frightening

Latin lightnin'

Spinnin' a cyclone man alive and a kicking

High heel machine gun rap arriba, faster faster

You'll be in a daze all night just watchin'

Watchin' for a Latin lightnin'

FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS lyrics - Grease

I solve my problems and I see the light

We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right

There ain't no danger we can go to far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word



They think our love is just a growing pain

Why don't they understand, it's just a crying shame

Their lips are lying only real is real

We stop the fight right now, we got to be what feel

Grease is the word

(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning

Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion

Grease is the way we are feeling



We take the pressure and we throw away

Conventionalitly belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believing now

That we can be who we are

Grease is the word

(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning

Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion

Now, grease is the way we are feeling



This is the life of illusion

Wrapped up in trouble (trouble), laced with confusion

(What are we doing here)



We take the pressure and we throw away

Conventionality belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning

Grease is the time, is the place is the motion

Now grease is the way we are feeling



Grease is the word, is the word that you heard

It's got groove it's got a meaning

(Got a groove, got a meaning)

Grease is the time, is the place is the motion

Now grease is the way we are feeling



Grease is the word

Is the word

Is the word

Is the word

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Please Stay

(Warren Zevon)



Please stay

Please stay

Two words I've thought I'd never learn to say

Don't go away

Please stay



Don't leave me here

When so many things so hard to see are clear

I need you near to me



Will you stay with me to the end?

When there's nothing left

But you and me and the wind

We'll never know till we try

To find the other side of goodbye



Please stay

Please slay

Two words I've thought I'd never learn to say

Don't go away

Please stay

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Captain Kidd

My name was Captain Kidd, when I sailed, when I sailed

My name was Captian Kidd, when I sailed, when I sailed

and so wickedly I did

God's laws I did forbid



I roamed from sound to sound, and many ships I've found

I roamed from sound to sound, and many ships I've found

and that night I saw

(____?)



I murdered William Moore and I laid him in his gore

I murdered William Moore and I laid him in his gore

and this I did to him

A-many leagues from shore



Farewell to young and old, the jolly sea (___?)

Farewell to young and old, the jolly sea (___?)

and welcome to my (___?)

and the open (___?) door



Farewell to London town and the pretty girls around

Farewell to London town and the pretty girls around

My friends (____?)

in the garden can be found



Farewell, for I must die, I must die, I must die

Farewell, for I must die, I must die, I must die

and in my own misery I must lie, I must lie

I must lie, must lie, must lie, must lie

THE CURE lyrics - Like Cockatoos

She walked out of her house

And looked around

At all the gardens that looked

Back at her house

(Like all the faces

That quiz when you smile... )



And he was standing

At the corner

Where the road turned dark

A part of shiny wet

Like blood the rain fell

Black down on the street



And kissed his feet she fell

Her head an inch away from heaven

And her face pressed tight

And all around the night sang out

Like cockatoos



"There are a thousand things" he said

"I'll never say those things to you again"

And turning on his heel

He left a trace of bubbles

Bleeding in his stead



And in her head

A picture of a boy who left her

Lonely in the rain

(And all around the night sang out

Like cockatoos)

LOU REED lyrics - How Do You Speak To An Angel

A son who is cursed with a harridan mother

Or a weak simpering father at best

Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives

Of filial love and incest



How does he

Speak to a

How does he speak to the prettiest girl

How does he

Talk to her

What does he say for an opening line

What does he say if he's shy



What do you do with your pragmatic passions

With your classically neurotic style

How do you deal with your vague self-comprehensions

What do you do when you lie



How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to her

How do you dance on the head of a pin

When you're on the outside looking in



How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl



You just say - Hello, hello, hello Baby

JOHNNY PRESTON lyrics - Feel So Fine (Feel So Good)

K. D. LANG lyrics - I Dream Of Spring

She arrives like autumn in a rainstorm

The threat of thunder above

I'll return from the streets of Melbourne

I'll return my love



This is world is filled with frozen lovers

The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold

And I've slept there in the snow with others

Yet loved no others before



These cold dark places

Places I've been

In cold dark places

I dream of spring



This world is filled frozen lovers

The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold

And I've slept there in the snow with others

Yet loved no others before



These cold darks places

Places I've been

In cold dark places

I dream of spring



In cold dark places

I dream of spring

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Saddle In The Rain

I wish, I hope, I wonder

Where you're at sometimes

Is your back against the wall?

Or just across the line

Have you been standing in the rain

Reciting nursery rhymes?

Trying to recall

Some long lost kind of peace of mind

Peace of mind

Try spending the night sometime

All alone in a frozen room

Afterneath you've lain

Your Saddle in the rain



I dreamed they locked God up

Down in my basement

And he waited there for me

To have this accident

So he could drink my wine

And eat me like a sacrament

And I just stood there like I do

Then I came and went

I came and went

Like a bird in a foreign sky

Couldn't even say good bye

Or come and share the pain

My Saddle's in the rain



I saw a friend who doesn't know

If I'm his friend just yet

His eyes and mouth were widely open

And his jaw was set

Like he'd fell off a cliff

And hadn't hit the bottom yet

I wish he wouldn't pull those things on me

Without a net

Without a net

I had him up to the house one time

And we was having a real good time

Then he went and lain

His Saddle in the rain



In a laundromat not too far

From the Alamo

Sits a girl who stole my records

Very long ago

And she wishes, wants and washes

Out those dirty clothes

As she shuts her eyes and dreams

About her one eyed Joe

One eyed Joe

Car parked on a dirty road

Heaven knows the load she pulled

Couldn't take the strain

A Saddle in the rain

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Steal Away (The Night)

(Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads)



Now I feel the time is right

Love will flow like wine tonight

Give your love and it will come to you, yeah

If you feel that you and me

Could escape and hold the key

To a paradise that's true and free, yeah



Steal away

Steal away

Steal away the night



Now I've met your honesty

You are here and I am free

Broken chains have fallen all around, yeah

Point my finger at the fools

Broken chains and broken rules

Let it be rebellion rules tonight, yeah



Steal away

Steal away

Steal away the night



Could it be a dream come true

Now that I am here with you?

Tearful eyes of joy is something new, yeah

Run away with me tonight

Dream the dream and light the light

Happiness is what you give to me, yeah



Steal away

Steal away

Steal away the night



Steal away

Steal away

Steal away the night



Steal away

Steal away

Steal away the night

BOB DYLAN lyrics - 4th Time Around

When she said

"Don't waste your words, they're just lies"

I cried she was deaf

And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes

Then said, "What else you got left"

It was then that I got up to leave

But she said, "Don't forget

Everybody must give something back

For something they get".



I stood there and hummel

I tapped on her drum and asked her how come

And she buttoned her boot

And straightened her suit

Then she said, "Don't get cute"

So I forced my hands in my pockets

And felt with my thumbs

And gallantly handed her

My very last piece of gum.



She threw me outside

I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked

And after finding I'd

Forgotten my shirt

I went back and knocked

I waited in the hallway, she went to get it

And I tried to make sense

Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair

That leaned up against...



Her Jamaican rum

And when she did come, I asked her for some

She said, "No dear"

I said, "Your words aren't clear

You'd better spit out your gum"

She screamed till her face got so red

Then she fell on the floor

And I covered her up and then

Thought I'd go look through her drawer.

And when I was through

I filled up my shoe

And brought it to you

And you, you took me in

You loved me then

You didn't waste time

And I, I never took much

I never asked for your crutch

Now dont ask for mine.

BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - Song For The Man

"I don't like your attitude boy"



What makes you feel

And why you gotta' be

Like you got the right

To look her up and down

What makes this world

So sick and evil

I know you don't know



What makes you feel

Like you got whip appeal

Who made you the judge an jury

Ain't you never heard of privacy

What makes this world

So sick and evil

You figure it out

You figure it out



You figure it out

SPARKS lyrics - In My Family

That's how it's gonna be

In my family

From the biggest branch to the smallest leaf

Still you're gonna see similarity

In my family

That's how it's gonna be



That's how its gonna be

'Cause it's my family

Gonna live to see post-senility

Lots of time to spend with my family



In my family

That's how it's gonna be



There you got your Rockefeller

There you got your Edward Teller

J. Paul Getty is a splendid fellow, but

None of them would be in my family



In my family

That's how it's gonna be



Family

It's like any other family

Big and small

It's like any other family



Thats how it's gonna be

Before and after me

Manufacturing many, many me's

Gonna hang myself from my family tree



In my family

That's how it's gonna be

JOHN KAY lyrics - You've Had Your Fun

(John Kay, Michael Palmer, Steven Palmer)



You've had your fun, you've had your fun

You've had your fun, you've had your fun

Now I know that you've had your fun it's no surprise

Yeah I know that you've had your fun it's in your eyes



Layin' back smiling like a reptile, I can tell

Baby you've been living on your own



You're number one, you're number one

You're number one, you're number one

Now I know that you're number one you showed me why

Yeah I know that you're number one you satisfy



Layin' back thinkin' 'bout another way to love you

Makin' it feel like it should

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - The Almighty Dollar

It's in the lives that we lead

Setup for money and greed

A little isn't enough we have to use it all up

Success, excess, the truth is inconvenient



Oh hang your head

Pillaged and left us for dead

You kept us blind and mislead

How could you think nothing's wrong

You won't be smiling for long

When it's all gone, gone

We can never go back



Burn into the air and atmosphere

Watching the rain come down

Turn your head away ignore the fear

Watching the ice crash down



Our father's justice gets closer

How could you screw us all over

Rape, steal and murder

God bless the almighty dollar

The almighty dollar



Poison the air that we breathe

Chained to industrial need

Destroy the souls that you steal, the radiation is real

Debate, too late, you've built our funeral pyre



You kill my faith

Mother earth, desecrate

Deceive the whole human race

I know you think nothing's wrong

We won't be breathing for long

When it's all gone, gone

We can never go back



Burn into the air and atmosphere

Watching the rain come down

Turn your head away ignore the fear

Watching the ice crash down



Our father's justice gets closer

How could you fuck us all over

Rape, steal and murder

God bless the almighty dollar



Death, doom and disaster

The point of no return

No earthly life ever after

Is it too late to learn?



Burn into the air and atmosphere

Watching the rain come down

Turn your head away ignore the fear

Watching the ice crash down



Our father's justice gets closer

How could you fuck us all over

Rape, steal and murder

God bless the almighty dollar

The almighty dollar

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Love Art Blues

I've got the love art blues

Don't know which one to choose

There's really something to lose,

With these love art blues.



I went and played too hard,

And I lost my mind.,

Oh, these love art blues

Leave me a heavy one.



My songs are all so long

And my words are all so sad

Why must I choose

Between the best things I ever had.



I spilled my promise cup

I really don't know why

Now the distance lies

Between you and I.



My songs are all so long

And my words are all so sad

Why must I choose

Between the best things I ever had.



I've got the love art blues

Don't know which one to choose

There's really something to lose,

With these love art blues.



I went and played too hard.

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Floundering

(Carly Simon)



First she sees her hypnotist

When she rushes to her psychiatrist

She sees her acupuncturist

She's got to got to get fixed



Then she sees her scientologist

Gets fed by her nutritionist

She can not seem to resist

Seeking cosmic consciousness



[Chorus:]

Looks like she's floundering again

Seems to be floundering again

Looks like she's floundering again

Seems to be floundering again



She swears by Jack La Lanne

then she throws the I Ching again

She searches in the Himalayas

For someone to ease the pain



[Chorus]



She's looking for a cure

She does not know exactly what for



[Chorus]



She's into political activism

Reading up on Tibetan Buddism

Anna Freud's analysed her dreams

And she's hoarse from primal screams



[Chorus]

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Heart And Soul

Heart and soul

I fell in love with you heart and soul

Because you held me tight

And stole a kiss in the night



Heart and soul

I begged to be adored

I lost control and tumbled overboard gladly

That magic night we kissed

There in the moon mist

Oh but your lips were thrilling, much to thrilling

Never before were mine so faintly willing

But now I see what one embrace can do

That little kiss you stole

Held all my heart and stole



Now I see what one embrace can do

Look at me it's got me loving you madly

That little kiss you stole

Held all my heart and soul

YELLO lyrics - Smile On You

Thank you very very much ladies and gentlemen

You still are programmed

Of your local radio station

That's not just giving you another feature

We are presenting you the truth

The truth about human beings

The truth about human desire

The truth about human eyes

The truth about human faces

The truth about everybody

The truth about you

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - Time Of Our Life

Hey, I can see that smile on your face

Tonight

Memories will never erase

And I feel like our time has come

Our hearts are beating wild as one

True love I know is hard to find

But you tonight you're mine



Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight



Hey, I hope you feel the same way I feel

Cause tonight

The moon, the stars, this moment so real

To once

We have every thing

Our hearts have a song to sing

We now know that dream's come true

Cause now there's me and you



Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight



Didn't we dance the night away

What can I say to you

You make life a holiday

Let's go and play

Let's go and play



Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight



(Come on and sing the song

Come on and sing along)

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Down Down Down

Come to see her in the river?

She'll be there to wave to you.

In the hope that you'll forgive her,

She will join you there...



Find out that now was

the answer to answers,

that you gave later.

She did the things that

we both did before now,

but who forgave her.



Now you see how down you've fallen,

Now you hear your conscious call.

Thank yourself alone for stallin',

I'm not there to call...



Call me a fool cause

I need her, and see her,

but now you're down.

Something inside you

will tell you I'm wise to

what you're spreadin' round.



If I could stand to see her cryin',

I would tell her not to care.

When she learns of all your lyin',

Would she join you there...?



Find out that now was

the answer to answers,

that you gave later.

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Havin' A Party

(S. Cooke)



We are having a party

Dancing to the music

Played by the D. J.

On the radio



The cokes are in the ice box

Popcorn's on the table

Me and my baby

We're out here on the floor



So mister, mister D. J.

Keep those records playing

'Cause we're having such a good time

Dancing with my baby



Havin' a party

Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music

On the radio



We are havin' a party

Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music

On the radio



So mister, mister D. J.

Keep those records playing

'Cause we're having such a good time

Dancing with my baby



Sally's doing that twist

If you take requests

I've got a few for you

Play that song called "Shot gun"

Play that one called "My girl"

Don't forget them

No other song will do

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - The Impossible Dream

(Lyrics: Gold-Eric Sooter / Music: Bloss-Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)



Sometimes it seems so strange

The way i feel for you

It makes my life so quiet and free

And when you smile at me

It's just that special love

A kind of liberty i never felt before

And i don't need to be a poet

I don't need to be a hero

When all i need to do is keep on loving you

I just have to be me and i don't need to be

The stranger anymore i used to be

In my impossible dream

I keep my fingers crossed

I never want to lose

This new found love that's so alive

I'm so in love with you

My heart has circled in the past

The demons of deceit but now aside i've cast

And i don't need to be a poet

I don't need to be a hero

When all i need to do is keep on loving you

I just have to be me and i don't need to be

The stranger anymore i used to be

In my impossible dream

VINCE GILL lyrics - Worlds Apart

(Vince Gill, Bob DiPiero)



There's nothing quite as lonely

As a sky that turns to gray

Or a love that just starts dyin'

And slowly fades away



You were my best companion

Now we lie silent in the dark

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart



There's nothing quite as empty

As when children go away

And all that's left are memories

Of all those yesterdays



You can't understand the feeling

'Til it finds its way to your heart

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart



There's nothing quite as ugly

As two people full of hate

We'll all end up as equals

When we stand at heaven's gate



Love is still the answer

It's the only place to start

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - May This Be Love

Waterfall

Nothing can harm me at all

My worries seem so very small

With my waterfall



I can see

My rainbow

Calling me

Through the mysteries

Of my waterfall



Some people say

Daydreams are for all the

lazy minded fools

With nothing else to do

So let them laugh

Laugh at me

So just as long as I have you

To see me through

I have nothing to lose

Long as I have you



Waterfall

Don't ever change you ways

For with me

For a million years

You're my waterfall

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight



For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And Peace to men on earth



How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may his His coming,

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him still,

The dear Christ enters in.



O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born to us today

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us, abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - My Favorite Plum

My favorite plum

hangs so far from me

See how it sleeps

and hear how it calls to me

See how the flesh

presses the skin,

It must be bursting

with secrets within,

I've seen the rest, yes

and that is the one for me



See how it shines

it will be so sweet

I've been so dry

it would make my heart complete

See how it lays

languid and slow

Never noticing

me here below

I've seen the best, yes

and that is the one for me



Maybe a girl will take it

Maybe a boy will steal it

Maybe a shake of the bough

will wake it and make it fall



My favorite plum

lies in wait for me

I'll be right here

longing endlessly

You'll say that I'm

foolish to trust

But it will be mine

and I know that it must

cause I've had the rest, yes

and that is the one for me

I've seen the best, yes

and that is the one for me

AMBROSIA lyrics - Livin' On My Own

(Drummond - Puerta - Pack)



She got a heart of steel

She don't care how I feel

But nothin' warms the chill

When I'm livin' on my own



She keep my mind in worry

She left my vision blurry

Left me in a hurry

Now I'm livin' on my own



Baby, when you left me here,

I was so alone and full of fear

Thought that I would be all right,

But it's hard to last these lonely nights



Thought that I quit carin'

When we both stopped sharin'

The pain is hard to bear

When I'm livin' on my own



She came into my life

She kept all my dreams alive



Baby, when you left me here,

I was so alone and full of fear

Thought that I would be all right,

But it's hard to last these lonely nights



She got a heart of steel

She don't care how I feel

But nothin' warms the chill

When I'm livin' on my own



Livin' on my own

Livin' on my own

NEW ORDER lyrics - Dracula's Castle

What's the matter here?

Something ain't right

Tell me it's not true

Tell me it's all right



There was time i'd run around for you

Get down on my knees

I swear it's true

But you came in the night,

And you took my heart

To Dracula's Castle

In the Dark



Now I've gotta tell you

Now you've gotta know

I want you to stay

But you're gonna go

Don't leave me alone

You'll tear me apart

You're in control



So goodbye love

You were not real

You came to stay

But now you leave

I can't explain

The way you feel

We once stood high

But now we kneel



You can't keep on running

How far'd you think you'll get

You got the world if you want it

I ain't done with you yet

I work hard just to keep you by my side

Every day and almost every night

In the end you took away my heart

Left me alone



So goodbye love

You were not real

You came to stay

But now you leave

I can't explain

The way you feel

We once stood high

But now we kneel



So goodbye love

You were not real

You came to stay

But now you leave

I can't explain

The way you feel

We once stood high

But now we kneel

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Sitting On A Barbed-Wire Fence

I paid fifteen million dollars, twelve hundred and seventy-two cents

I paid one thousand two hundred twenty-seven dollars and fifty-five cents

See my hound dog bite a rabbit

And my football's sittin' on a barbed-wire fence



Well, my temperature rises and my feet don't walk so fast

Yes, my temperature rises and my feet don't walk so fast

Well, this Arabian doctor came in, gave me a shot

But wouldn't tell me if what I had would last



Well, this woman I've got, she's filling me with her drive

Yes, this woman I've got, she's thrillin' me with her hive

She's calling me Stan

Or else she calls me Mister Clive



Of course, you're gonna think this song is a riff

I know you're gonna think this song is a cliff

Unless you've been inside a tunnel

And fell down 69, 70 feet over a barbed-wire fence



All night!

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - In The Studio

[Quint Black:]

Sixteen hoes, sixteen cars

Sixteen stars, rappin over sixteen bars

You ain't never seen big rocks before

Sabotage the show make 'em change the flow

Cash don't make it, put it on hold

Stand back and watch the bitch go gold

(Candy paint, sittin on low)

Headlights shine, blowing for a hoe

You ain't never seen a freak hop to this

Rock to this, make your nuts fucking wanna pop to this

Too much to dream, tons of cream

Fucking in the limo, listenin my demo

Glisten by the pound

Some smoke weed, some don't fuck around

But check it out, make you freak it when they all alone

The type freak that'll stick you when her momma home

Nigga huh?



[Chorus:]

Where the bitches and the hoes at?

At the studio

Thats where we make our fuckin money at

At the studio

Thats where the benz and the lex at

At the studio

Plus the cash and the rolex

Its at the studio

Where the bitches and the hoes at?

At the studio

Thats where we make our fuckin money at

At the studio

Thats where the benz and the lex at

At the studio

Plus the cash and the rolex

Its at the studio



[Quint Black:]

Chillin, bangin, taking it slow

Short's at the door with some bad ass hoes

Bad Ass banks just around the way

Do it the Oakland way, with a G of Bombay

Whole mic room fuckin filled with smoke

Let Jeff have the gun so he watched the do'

Pushing D-88's, never no trippin

Move out the way and let Pit do the mixin

Keep it all smooth, no jackers and haters aloud

One freaky bitch turn the whole fuckin party out

Infatuated by the cheese

Had a group of hoes yellin out "Black please"

Gee, I'm in the mood for a good time

Every nickel and dime

Dike bitch in the corner tryin to take mine

Hustlin and scheming, puttin it down

Them hoes can't rap still hangin around



[Chorus]

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - The Look

The look

As she pass she flashed that come-hither look

The look

That was meant for me and for me alone



The look

Would be out of place in a children's book

The look

That could chip a piece off a heart of stone



Consider a bit this interesting little tableau

A look I could read but where would it lead me to

But mischievous elf I labeled myself diablo

And did just exactly what she was sure I'd do

Now at her beck and call

She ties me to the strings of her Spanish shawl

That isn't all

One foot out the door and she gives me the look



I say goodbye now she puts her foot down

I'm flying high now that's when I'm put down

I want to die now she puts her foot down

Freezes me with the look



Someday if she sashays by you and looks your way

I'd say you'll do well if you overlook the look

The look

The look

ZUCCHERO lyrics - All You Need Is Love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

There's nothing you can do that can't be done

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung

Nothing you can say but you can learn how the play the game

It's easy

There's nothing you can make that can't me made

No on you can save that can't be saved

Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see that isn't shown

No where you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

Love is all you need

That is all you need

That is all you need

That is all you need

That is all you need

THE KINKS lyrics - End Of The Season

Winter time is coming

All the sky is grey

Summer birds aren't singing

Since you went away



Since you've been gone, end of the season

Winter is here, close of play

I get no kicks walking down Saville Row

There's no more chicks left where the green grass grows and I know that

Winter is here, end of the season

My reason's gone, close of play

I just can't mix in all the clubs I know

Now Labour's in, I have no place to go



You're on a yacht near an island in Greece

Though you are hot, forget me not

I will keep waiting until your return

Now you are gone, end of the season

Winter will come any day

Back in the scrum on a wet afternoon

Down in the mud, dreaming of flowers in June

End of the season

End of the season

ELTON JOHN lyrics - One Horse Town

Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday

I'd always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay

'Cause progress here don't move with modern times

There's nothing to steal

So there's not a great deal of crime



It sure is hell living in a one horse town

There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground

Nothing much doing of an afternoon

Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune



And they ain't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes

But if you want to hear Susanna then they'll pick all night

They'll pick all night



'Cause it's no dice living in a one horse town

Laid back, as my old coon hound

And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town

There's nothing to steal `cause there's simply nothing much around



Sure is hell living in this one horse town

There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground

And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town

There's nothing to steal `cause there's nothing much around
