CHICAGO lyrics - You're Not Alone
I see you there, a silhouette in the moonlight;
Looks like you've given up on love.
You used to be the face in the spotlight;
Now lonliness fits you like a glove.
You walk around in your cloak of darkness,
Too blind to see the light.
Your wings are broken, now your spirit can't take flight.
You're not alone, you're not alone,
While your heart's still young and free.
You're not alone, pick up the phone
And talk to me; baby, you will see
You're not alone.
Pools of sorrow and tears of joy;
There's a broken-up girl for every broken-down boy.
But you don't wanna hear it,
You like the rhythm of the blues;
Wanna be a sad story on the late-night news.
I don't mean to burst your bubble,
But the world's got troubles worse than you.
And everybody else out here gets lonely too.
You're not alone, you're not alone,
I've been waiting patiently.
No, you're not alone, pick up the phone
And talk to me, baby, you will see...
Although your heart is in pieces,
You can't find a reason to try.
You're not alone, while I'm still standing by.
You're not alone, you're not alone,
While your heart's still young and free.
You're not alone, pick up the phone
And talk to me; baby, you will see
You're not alone.
ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference
(Todd Rundgren)
Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought of lying
I'd rather think of dying instead
And the last time you called me
To say we were through
How it took a million tears
Just to prove they all were for you
But it wouldn't have made any difference,
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't have made any difference,
If you loved me
You just did not love me
'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
In the most unfaithful arms
That you always picture me
Though I can't always show proof I was true
No one else could change my mind
Or stop me coming home to you
But it wouldn't have made any difference,
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't have made any difference,
If you loved me
You just did not love me
Enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Enough not to look for
A reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you
It wouldn't have made any difference
Wouldn't have made any difference
SAXON lyrics - Searching For Atlantis
Here we stand underneath a blood red sky
To seek the answer we're all looking for
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand
[Chorus:]
We're still searching for Atlantis
We're all looking for our shangrila
Searching for Atlantis
Looking back you can't change a thing
In your mind there lies the key
There are many doors that you'll be passing through
Down the winding road to find your xanadu
[Chorus]
You walk the path towards your destiny
Through twists and turns to reach your journey's end
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand

THE CHURCH lyrics - Buffalo
Snow came up Friday, I gotta go
Spending winter up in Buffalo
Someone I met there is calling me so
You've got to escape the blues man, don't you know
Days of sinking summer packed up and gone
Nothing helps me, there's nothing wrong
It was so pleasant, incandescent, it's over now
We should get going
Lady I know there, name of Christina
The six lonely lifetimes since I've seen her
She takes you places your heart cannot go
During the winter up in Buffalo
Days by her fire, dazed in the glow
Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo
Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark
We drift together, we drift apart
She's got the wherewithal, she's got the knowledge
It's wonderful
I should be going
Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys
Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise
And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo
Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo
Down in Buffalo

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Mitzi Dupree
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
flying to salt
lake city
seats 3a and b
i was down and needed
a window
but in 3a sat mitzi dupree
she said hi i am mitzi
the queen of the ping pong
where you going boy
i said nowhere
she said i'm movng on
i thought what is this
i cannot resist
here she is
and i've always wanted a girl
with a name
a name like mitzi dupree
she said what do you do
i said i'm a singer in a band
she said ya i'm an entertainer
reached out and took my hand
she was going to a mining town
way up north to do her show
i said it must be cold up there
she said depends on who you know
oh that look in her eye
i can tell you no lies
i'm just a man
she made me feel like a king in my mind
i love you mitzi dupree
i said what is this queen of the ping pong business
she smiled what do you think
it has no connection with china
i said oow have another drink
well i knew right away
that i'd seen her act before
in a room behind a kitchen in bangkok
and three or four times more in singapore
she may not be the first
but i know she ain't the worst
she was mine but i ran out of time
i miss you i love you mitzi dupree
my darling mitzi dupree

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Wet
Wet is rain
Rain is clean and new
New is the morning
And morning dew
Wet is a kiss that touches you
Wet is sea
Sea is mysterious blue
Blue is for sadness
And sad is for crying
Tears are wet too
Would you share these things with me
Dance in the rain
Drift with the sea
And let the tears fall as they wade
Sometimes
I'm not afraid of melt in the rain
I'm not afraid to be lost at see
I'm not afraid to cry again
Because it's tears of joy
You bring to me
Would you share these things with me
Dance in the rain
Drift with the sea
And let the tears fall as they wade
Sometimes
Wet is love
Love that's flowing free
Free is the feeling I feel deep inside me
Come and see that wet is me...
THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - The Final Countdown
Leavin' Together, Still It's Farewell
Maybe We'll Come Back, To Earth, Who Can Tell
Guess There Is No One To Blame
Were Leavin' Ground, Leavin' Ground
Will Things Ever Be The Same Again?
It's The Final Countdown, The Final Countdown
Uh Oh
Were Headed For Venus, And Still We Stand Tall
Coz Maybe They've Seen Us, And Welcome Us All, Yeah
So Many Light Years To Go
Things To Be Found
So Bad We All Miss Her So
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Press
Darling, I Love You Very, Very, Very Much,
And I Really Am Relying On Your Touch.
But With All These People Listening In,
I Don't Know Where I Ought To Begin.
Maybe We Could Hit Upon A Word,
Something That The Others Haven't Heard,
When You Want Me To Love You,
Just Tell Me To Press.
Right There, That's It. Yes. When You Feel The Stress
Don't Just Stand There, Tell Me To Press.
You Can Give Me What I Want I Must Confess,
My Body Needs Attention My Mind Is In A Mess,
Oklahoma Was Never Like This.
Never Like This, It Was Never Like This,
Ever Like This, Say Was It Ever Like This?
Oklahoma Was Never Like This.
It Was Never Like This...
Darling, I Know It Really Wouldn't Be A Crime,
If I Say I Want To Lnve You All The Time.
But With All These People Listening In,
I Don't Know Where I Ought To Begin.
Maybe We Should Have A Secret Code,
Before We Both Get Ready To Explode.
When You Want Me To Love You,
Just Tell Me To Press. Press...
Right There, That's It. Yes.
When You Feel The Stress,
Don't Just Stand There.
Won't You Tell Me To Press?
SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - She's A Knockout
Everywhere she goes people turn their heads
She's a knockout
Everyone wishes she was sleeping in their beds
She's a knockout
When guys see her comin' they start spending their money
She's a knockout
But don't you know I'm the only one who can call her honey
She's a knockout
[Chorus:]
She's a knockout, She's a knockout
She's exotic but not foreign, built like an old Cadillac
She's a knockout
Once she's left your life she ain't never comin' back
She's a knockout
With her black silk stockings and her high-heeled shoes
She's a knockout
Once she's left your life you'll surely sing the blues
She's a knockout
[Chorus]
Some friends were tellin' me, just the other day
They walk right up to her, they don't know what to say
And when she calls me (hear a ring on the telephone)
I'll be there waiting for her, sitting at home all alone
All alone
In the nightclubs baby when the lights shine down
She's a knockout
When she walks down the aisle ya know her hips begin to sway
She's a knockout
Come on little baby I'll show yo the way
She's a knockout...
[Chorus]
LEO SAYER lyrics - Millionaire
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)
I got your postcard it made me lonely
I'm out of money and no-one really cares
The South of France has sunny weather
Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
Now you're not coming home
You like the style and you're staying here
Pretty boys everywhere you go
You lead 'em on and then you disappear
You say you're gonna find a millionaire
- Oh well I wish you luck
And we were never going anywhere
- And now you've had enough
You didn't wanna be
Going broke with a loser like me
And you're a girl who's just gotta be free
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire
All the streets are dead without you
Empty shops and old abandoned cars
In Saint Tropez your man is waiting
He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
You say you're not going home
You like the sun and you're staying here
He'll ask if you're on you own
You say "why not" then you both disappear
Now you say you've found your millionaire
- Oh well I don't care
Says he's gonna take you everywhere
- I just don't care
I bet he'll let you down
That kinda guy never hangs around
He's got a girl in every town
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Living
Living with a millionaire
[Solo]
Now you say you've found your millionaire
- Well I don't care
Says he gonna take you everywhere
- I just don't care
Then one day he's gonna let you down
He'll have you searching every club in town
That kind of guy will only drag you down
You can go and take your millionaire
- Oh I don't wanna know
Tell you that I really do not care
- Ah your life's your own
You see them everywhere you go
Chasing the sun in Alfa Romeos
You gotta catch 'em before they get too old
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Chasing
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - The River In The Pines
(traditional)
Oh, Mary was a maiden
When the birds began to sing.
She was sweeter than the blooming rose
So early in the spring.
Her thoughts were gay and happy
And the morning gay and fine,
For her lover was a river boy
From the river in the pines.
Now Charlie, he got married
To his Mary in the spring
When the trees were budding early
And the birds began to sing.
But early in the autumn
When the fruit is in the wine,
I'll return to you, my darling
From the river in the pines.
It was early in the morning
In Wisconsin's dreary clime
When he rode the fatal rapids
For that last and fatal time.
They found his body lying
On the rocky shore below
Where the silent water ripples
And the whispering cedars blow.
Now every raft of lumber
That comes down the Chippewa,
There's a lonely grave that's
Visited by drivers on their way
They plant wild flowers upon it
In the morning fair and fine.
'Tis the grave of two young lovers
From the river in the pines
MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
MADONNA lyrics - Easy Ride
I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me
I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face
That's what I want
[Chorus:]
I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
I want to let go of all disappointment that's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place
That's what I want
[chorus, repeat and fade]

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Raisin' Caine
She spent ev'ry night just Raisin' Caine
Johnny, Bill and Joe
They all meant the same
Tried to hide that deep inside her
Lay a woman, soft and tender
Needin' someone to defend her
She was just a great pretender
Raisin' Caine
Didn't take long to make up my mind
I just had to have that somethin' fine
So I got set to make her forget
All the boys that she knew before
Give her reason to love me for
Love her till she had no need for
Raisin' Caine.
I made her know my love will always be
And in a while she wanted only me
To give her lovin' yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been wed three years
To that girl I won
And I'm proud to say
We have ourselves a son
For a name called him Caine'
It didn't take long to discover
He had fire just like his mother
But that's O. K.
'Cause we've each other,
Raisin' Caine
BONEY M lyrics - Never Change Lovers In The Middle Of The Night
You and I were finished
I was through with you
Splitting up forever
Seemed the thing to do
I said I can't stand you
With your honey touch
This time you were cheating me
One time too much
Just then I remembered
That a friend I knew
Told me one thing
I should never do
Never never change your lovers in the middle of the night
Everything may look so different in the early morning light
Never never be too hasty when you're grooping in the dark
What you're getting into may be just a lark
Keep your cool and don't change lovers when you're feeling sorta high
Sorta big and high and mighty without really knowing why
Let the heat wear off a little, give your man another chance
And don't fall for someone else's song and dance
Sure there was this guy
Right next to me
Mine just for the asking
He said he would be
But to leave my man
Seemed to me all too strange
And I'd say that I'm glad
I didn't make the change
Now our life is almost
Like a Paradise
Let me pass on to you
This advice
Keep your cool and don't change lovers in the middle of the night
You may feel a strong temptation, the vibrations may be right
But who knows what's gonna happen, you may simply lose your cool
When you find it, you'll find out you were a fool
Never never change your lovers under any midnight spell
Take it easy, slow and easy, everything will turn out well
Let the sunshine of a new day, and don't move while you're uptight
Changing lovers in the middle of the night
Never never change your lovers in the middle of the night
Everything may look so different in the early morning light
Never never be too hasty when you're grooping in the dark
What you're getting into may be just a lark
Keep your cool and don't change lovers when you're feeling sorta high
Sorta big and high and mighty without really knowing why
Let the heat wear off a little, give your man another chance
And don't fall for someone else's song and dance
TOM WAITS lyrics - Lullaby
Sun is red; moon is cracked
Daddy's never coming back
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes, go to sleep
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever as it seems
Climb the ladder to you dreams
If I die before you wake
Don't you cry, don't you weep
Nothing's ever yours to keep
Close your eyes; go to sleep
CHER lyrics - Happy Was The Day We Met
It hurts inside to know of all the times
We've ever had a cry
To keep away the reasoning of why we lie
It only leads me down a lonely road
And strange of fates as a world to
A new and different time or place
To live away the time of day so we can race
Exactly what we choose just not to believe
[Chorus:]
And ooh
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay
We paid our price turn our heads
Close our eyes and sacrifice
Excuses of love
That once was warm has turned to ice
But only leave me cold and so alone
Now memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
[Chorus]
What about..oooh yeah
Oh oh oh yeah
Oh if you go away
Oh, you so happy baby
Now, memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
And ooh
Happy was the day we met
Never will I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
IGGY POP lyrics - Mr. Dynamite
They call me Mr. Dynamite
I blow things up in black and white
An end to your charade
A button I have made must be pushed
There is no reason for the sky
When I'm on fire with your lies
So if I can win this fight
Then call me Mr. Dynamite
So here we stand
Both you and I
We're face to face
But eye to eye?
Tomorrow you may change
And I would be betrayed, my friend...
Oh mommy mommy mommy
Do you remember Mr. Dynamite?
You know that guy from down the block
He blew things up in black and white
Yesterday he changed
Today he is betrayed
In the street
On the ground
The neighbors gather 'round
Poor Mr. Dynamite
THE COMMODORES lyrics - Flying High
Flyin' high on a feelin'
Flyin' high
Flyin' high on a good thing
Flyin' high on your love
I knew we could make it from the beginning
The first time I saw you passing by, whoa
To me it was much more than a notion
It was the fire in your eyes
Flyin' high on a good thing
Flyin' high on your love
Your face has a glow, girl, like a sunrise
You speak in a whisper like the wind, whoa
And when I touch you I see clearly
That we can be more than just friends
Ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo (Yeah, baby)
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo (Woo)
Flyin' higher
For your love (Hey)
Flyin' higher
For your love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Flyin' high on a feelin' (Baby, sing it loud)
Flyin' high
Flyin' high on a good thing
Flyin' high on your love
On your love (On your love)
On your love (On your love)
On your love (On your love)
Yeah
Flyin' (Whoa, oh)
Higher, higher (Woo), higher (High), higher, (Yeah)

BOBBY DARIN lyrics - Clementine
In a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And... his daughter
Chubby Clementine.
Now, every mornin'
Yeah... just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And... walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled... oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey... crack like thunder... hut, hut...
You know she went under... hut, hut...
Blowin' bubbles down the line
Hey! I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.
Ho... she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.
Hey... you sailor... hut, hut...
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an' your trusty line
If she shows now, yell......
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.
One more time!
Oh, my darlin'... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' ... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin'... sweet Clementine
You may be gone... but...
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well...
So long...
Clementine...
Bye!
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Slave
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't wanna be your slave
Twenty four hours a day
Hey, why don't you go down to the supermarket
Get something to eat, steal something of the shelves
Pass by the liquor store
Be back about quarter to twelve
Don't want to be your slave
Baby go, baby go, baby go
Do it yeah
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL lyrics - My Baby Left Me
(A. Crudup)
Yes, my baby left me, never said a word.
Was it something I done, something that she heard?
You know she left me, my baby left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.
But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me, I say, she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
Help me, boy!
And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone.
You know she left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.
Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan.
All I know is that the one I love is gone.
My baby left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - At Last
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh at last, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
STEELY DAN lyrics - Jack Of Speed
Teddy's rolling now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed - in a thousand little ways
He's changed - yes indeed
You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed
Sheena's party - there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
He's gone - he walks through the old routines
But he's gone - guaranteed
He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed
You maybe got lucky for a few good years
But there's no way back from there to here
He's a one way rider
On the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less
He can't hear you honey - that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop - he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead
You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - A Poem On The Underground Wall
(P. Simon)
The last train is nearly due,
The underground is closing soon,
And in the dark deserted station,
Restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.
His restless eyes leap and scratch,
At all that they can touch or catch,
And hidden deep within his pocket,
Safe within its silent socket,
He holds a colored crayon.
Now from the tunnel's stony womb,
The carriage rides to meet the groom,
And opens wide and welcome doors,
But he hesitates, then withdraws
Deeper in the shadows.
And the train is gone suddenly
On wheels clicking silently
Like a gently tapping litany,
And he holds his crayon rosary
Tighter in his hand.
Now from his pocket quick he flashes,
The crayon on the wall he slashes,
Deep upon the advertising,
A single worded poem comprised
Of four letters.
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Shadowed by the exit light
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.
CROSBY, PEVAR & RAYMOND lyrics - Breathless
(David Crosby, Jan Crosby, Jeff Pevar, James Raymond, Steve DiStanislao, Andrew Ford)
[Intro. (Drums + Piano and Pizzicato Violin)]
This dance that we do leaves me breathless
Reeling on the edge of falling down
A lodestone pull that leaves me breathless
Through many lifetimes handed down
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you know
You try to walk in step and stumble laughing
You hold each other up to stop the fall
You hold each others eyes like a magnet
And for a moment time just seems to stall
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you watch each other
A bell once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
The closer it is held
You lead me like a spirit through the forest
Where I alone would surely fear to go
Safely with my hand on your shoulder
Somehow it's a thing I just know
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you watch each other
A bell once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
The closer it is held
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
A bell once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
Aaah, aaah...
Aaah, aaah...
Aaah, aaah...
Aaah, aaah...
Aaah
YES lyrics - The Ancient: Giants Under The Sun
(Words by Anderson - Howe; Music by Yes)
Puranas: The Ancient probes still further into the past beyound the
point of remembering. Here Steve's guitar is pivotal in sharpening
reflection on the beauties and treasures of lots civilisations,
Indian, Chinese, Central American, Atlantean. These and other people
left an immense treasure of knowledge.
As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
Attuned to the majesty of music
They marched as one with earth
Sol, Dhoop
Sun
Ilios
Naytheet
Ah Kin
Saule
Tonatiuh
Qurax
Gunes, Grian
Surie
Ir
Samse
So the flowering creativity of life wove its web face to face with
the shallow
And their gods sought out and conquered
Ah Kin
Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn
Does the colour of the sun turn crimson white
Does a shadow come between us in the winter
Is the movement really light
And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
along without you
along without you
Where does reaon stop and killing just take over
Does a lamb cry out before we shoot it dead
Are there many more in comfort understanding
Is the movement in the head
And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
along without you
along without you

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - Are You Gonna Love Me
Anywhere you say to be
From the sky down to the ground
If I hear you calling me
I will never let you down
What if I were far away
Would the love fire still burn
I want to know if you would be
Still in love when I return
Are you gonna love me
I'm who I should be when you're loving me
Are you gonna love me
And give this love a chance...would we dance
I know the way you feel
I shouldn't worry 'bout the future now
It just gets in the way
Don't want to make you sad
Just want to know you're gonna love me
When it's not a sunny day
Are you gonna love me
When the skies are grey and I'm far away
Are you gonna love me
If I have to go...do you know
[Interlude:]
It's all about (You and me, you and me)
Will you wait for me
(It's all about love, love, love)
About your love
You were feeling kind of blue
When the job took me away
The reason that I'm calling you is
I'll be coming back today
Are you gonna love me
Girl, it's been so long
Is the feeling gone
Are you gonna love me
That's what I'm asking you
Whatcha gonna do
[Repeat Interlude]
Are you gonna love me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Will you wait for me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Are you gonna love me, love me
(Are you gonna love me, baby) (Love me)
(Love me now) (ah Love me) (Love me)
Love me baby, love me baby
Love me baby, love me baby

AEROSMITH lyrics - Fly Away From Here
Gotta find a way
yeah I cant wait another day
aint nothing gonna change
if we stay around here
gotta do what it takes
cause its all in our hands
we all make mistakes
yeah but its never too late to start again
take another breath and say another prayer
and Fly Away from here
anywhere yeah I dont care
we just fly away from here
our hopes & dreams are out there somewhere
wont let time pass us by
we'll just Fly yeah
If this life
it seems harder now
it aint no never mind you got me by your side
and anytime you want
yeah we can catch a train & find a better place
cause we wont let nothing or noone keep getting us down
maybe you & I could pack our bags & hit the sky
and Fly Away From Here
anywhere yeah I dont care
we just fly away from here
our hopes & dreams are out there somewhere
we wont let time pass us by

cause no one here can ever stop us
they can try but we wont let them

and Fly Away From Here
anywhere honey I dont care

our hopes & dreams are out there somewhere
Fly Away from Here

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Aladdin Sane
Watching him dash away,
swinging an old bouquet
- dead roses
Sake and strange divine Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh you'll make it
Passionate bright young things,
takes him away to war -
don't fake it
Saddening glissando strings
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh - you'll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Motor sensational, Paris or maybe hell - I'm waiting
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane - you'll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain,
just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane
Love Aladdin Sane
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain,
just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Suspicious Minds
(Mark James)
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Mercy
Well I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again
I have seen too much to pretend
And then you wanted to come in
I have survived all of the lies
They made me wise
The locks and walls and the peace it buys
Still when I look into your eyes
It's a surprise when you say
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
well I plead Mercy, mercy baby
I do not know what this all means
It's been awhile
Since I've been stylin' in
Just my jacket and my jeans
It hurts to walk
It hurts to talk
It hurts to think about it
Shout about it
Could I be sure without a doubt
That you could never live without
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
I want to fall in you
Crawl in you
Surrender
All in you now
Could I be sure in you
Pure in you
Finding the cure in you
Now I plead
Have mercy on me
Now I am kneeling at the altar
In the temple of your eyes
And I am asking for a miracle
I have been too long paralyzed when you say
Get up
Stand up
Climb the rope of hope
and open up again
All the peace you say is promised me
seems too much to comprehend
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy baby
what Can this girl believe
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Honey just hold on tight
And I'll make it all go away
Hold on
It's gonna be alright
Mercy darling
Mercy
Let it all go away
BAD RELIGION lyrics - God Song
and did those feet in ancient times trod on america's pastuers of
green? and did that anthropocentric god wane with their thoughts and
beliefs all unseen? i don't think so, he's up there with the others
laying low, vying with those who you've traded your life to to bless
your soul, and have they told you how to think, cleansed your mind of
sepsis and automony? or have you escaped scrutiny, and regaled
yourself with depravity? now we all see, "religion is just synthetic
frippery, unnecessary in our expanding global cultural efficiency" and
don't you fear this impasse we have built to our future? ever so near,
and oh so austere

R. E.M. lyrics - Lotus
Hey hey.
Hey hey.
I was hell.
Sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun. Hard worn. No
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands. Give a hand.
Honey dipt. Flim flam
Hey hey. Hey hey.
That cat can walk like a big bad man.
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
Storefront window, I reflect.
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale. I was hell
Picked me up, then I fell.
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
...and I feel fine.
Let it rain, rain, rain.
Bring my happy back again.
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
Let it rain, rain, rain
Save me from my self again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin
That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
So haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - As Long As I Have You
(Wise - Weisman)
Let the stars fade and fall
And I won't care at all
As long as I have you
Every kiss brings a thrill
And I know that it will
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
As long, as long as I have you
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Home
(Bobby Harden)
I've been travelin' down the country ever since I can remember
And the people that I meet just suit me fine
But anywhere you see me going chances are that I've done been there
So when I need a little peace of mind
I go home home where the mockingbirds are singin' a pretty melody
Home home where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me
[ fiddle ]
Picture the morning sun a white rail fence and watch the meadow glisten
There's a newborn baby calf down in the barn
Have you morning cup of coffee in the country air oh listen
It's a hundred million miles away from harm
I go home...
Where nothing short of heaven's waiting there for me
RINGO STARR lyrics - Eye To Eye
Remember when I said it don't come easy
That seems so long ago
Well nothing's changed
And if you don't believe me
Look out your window.
I wonder why, we gotta try
To see eye to eye to eye
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
When we see eye to eye to eye.
The wold is spinning and our lives go faster
It's getting out of control
So don't lose sight or what we're goinf after
It's in your heart and soul.
We'll never lose
Why don't we choose
To see eye to eye to eye
If you beggin
We all can win
When we see eye to eye to eye.
Let's fill the wold with joy and laughter
Do it now, there many be now after
Peace and love, and harmony
Now tell me how hard can it be
It's easy, it"s easy.
Remember when I said
It don't come easy
That seems so long ago.
I wonder why
It's hard to try
To see eye to eye to eye
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
If we see eye to eye to eye.
We never lose
Why don't we choose
We all can win
If you beggin.
Eye to eye to eye
Eye to eye to eye.

POWER STATION lyrics - She Can Rock It
She got goose-egg power-chords
And a nasty 2 & 4
She can rock it
She can tap in 32
She can show you her tatoo
She can rock it
What good's a rock without a roll
It's a sorry lookin donut if it doesn't have a hole
She gets so hot she's infra-red
She can show you a position that's prohibited
She's got kisses like cocaine
She's got access to a plane
She can rock it
Check out her anatomy
In her trashy lingerie
She can rock it
She's got an axe she's got a rig
You know she'll never miss a beat
And whe ain't never missed a gig
She'll pin you down she'll knock you out
She can wrestle with your ego
Til your pride goes out
She can rock it
She's a shake that comes with fries
Never listens to your lies
She can rock it
She can set your pants on fire
She can strip you to the wire
She can rock it
She can nail you to a frame
Say that you're the one to balme
She can rock it
She can tell you what to wear
She can strip your conscience bare
She can rock it
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - All The Pretty Little Horses
(traditional)
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleepy, little baby
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses
Way down yonder in the meadow
Lies a poor little lambie
Bees and butterflies, picking out its eyes
Poor little thing's crying, "Mami"
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleepy, little baby.
BACHMAN & TURNER lyrics - That's What It Is
Goina' down lifea's highway
Sometimes you get lost
Hurryina' to nowhere
You forget what you forgot
Lookina' for a miracle,
Following a dream
You get knocked down you get back up
But thata's no guarantee
You got it fixed
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
Thata's what it is
When you get into the game
Thata's what it is, n-not what it aina't
D-do what you can, n-not what you caina't
You gotta make the pieces fit
If thata's what it is
Thata's what it is
Where are we going?
Why are we here?
We ask of the same questions
But the answera's never clear
Life is just a gamble
You gotta roll the dice
You gotta dance with lady luck
And if you dona't get it right
You take the hit
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
Thata's what it is
When you get into the game
Thata's what it is, n-not what it aina't
D-do what you can, n-not what you caina't
Ita's all hit and miss
Th-thata's what it is
Thata's what it is, baby -
Take the hit!
[Guitar solo]
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
Thata's what it is
So just learn to play the game
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
Thata's what it is
When you get into the game
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
Thata's what it is
When you get into the game
Thata's what it is
Things aina't never gonna change
THE MARCELS lyrics - Heartaches
(Words by John Klenner, music by Al Hoffman)
Heartaches
Heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory
Heartaches
Heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks?
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you
STEVIE WONDER lyrics - On The Sunny Side Of The Street
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
[Instrumental break]
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - You Little Fool
Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
But she's never wanted at home
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
But with the bird in his hand
And two on a string
The words of love have an imitation ring
You little fool, you little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right
You little fool
They say no news is good news
The little girl wants information
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
And says go and use your imagination
Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand
And the other full of imitation jewels
She fingers a string of pearls
An imitation but he'll never know it
Imitation lashes flutter above
Looking for an imitation of love
You little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
So don't look at me that way you know it isn't right
You little fool
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - All Or Nothing At All
(A. Altman, J. Lawrence)
[Recorded May 16, 1966, Hollywood]
All or nothin' at all
Half a love never appealed to me
If your heart, it never could yield to me
Then I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all
I said all, nothin' at all
If it's love, there ain't no in-between
Why begin then cry for somethin' that might have been
No I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all
Hey, please don't bring your lips close to my cheek
Don't you smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart, it may grow very dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, be caught in the undertow
Well, you see, I've got to say "No, no, no"
All or nothin' at all
[instrumental]
And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call
Don't you know I would be caught in the undertow?
So, you see, I just got to say "No, no"
All or nothin' at all
All or nothin' at all
THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - The Sun
And the sun goes over me [6x]
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
It wouldn't have to last very long
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
I wouldn't have to ask anymore
SANTANA lyrics - Say It Again
(Val Garay, Steve Goldstein, & Anthony La Peau)
It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me ‘bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say
Chorus:
Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that you're still lovin' me
Still lovin' me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when
Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that you're still lovin' me
Still lovin' me, still in love with me
You know it sounds so sweet
It just knocks me right up off of
My feet
To hear you talk that way
I just love to hear you say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
I hear the echoes in my mind
They're calling to me all the time
I hear those voices start to sing
Again and again
Instrumental
Repeat 1st verse
Repeat Chorus

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Clones (We're All)
I'm a clone
I know it and I'm fine
I'm one and more are on the way
I'm two, doctor
Three's on the line
He'll take incubation another day
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
Six is having problems
Adjusting to his clone status
Have to put him on a shelf
"Please don't put me on a shelf"
All day long we hear him crying so loud
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
Be myself
Be myself
I'm all alone, so are we all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Hair Of The Dog
(Agnew/Charlton/McCafferty/Sweet)
[Originally by Nazareth]
Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true
[Bridge:]
Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues
[Chorus:]
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Talkin' jivey, poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain't so blind I can't see
[Bridge]
[Chorus 2x]
PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Mull Of Kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have i traveled and much have i seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days i knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - I Can't See My Feelings
(Burke Shelley, Tony Bourge, Steve Williams)
[Originally by Budgie]
I can't see my feelings
Open my eyes
I can't see my feelings
Open a pair of eyes
I can't see my feelings
Keep them behind
I just keep on reeling
Running back down the line
Oh, I can't stand that screaming
Don't even try
Music fans some feelings
It'll be tell me why
I can't stop that feeling
Showing me why
Man I love that feeling
Yeah, blowin' me right through the sky
Oh hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh, listen to what she says
If it's good, it's nice
KISS lyrics - Lonely Is The Hunter
My eggs in one basket, but she threw me a bone
She was dealt a full deck, but she likes to live alone
Ain't just talkin' to myself,
need a reason to stop (oh yeah)
With a flower in her teeth, she drained the last drop
I said girls love money like bees the honey
But lonely is the hunter,
you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Asked her for a refill, sweat flew off my face (oh yeah)
She's a legendary figure, kept me in a cage
She's a torture chamber,
when I seduced her in my bed (ooh yeah)
She gave a cold reading, success went to her head
In the heat of the battle the heart cannot rule,
I'm such a fool
But lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only,
and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only,
and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only,
and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only,
and lonely is the hunter

BADFINGER lyrics - Where Do We Go From Here?
Someone gives you their heart
But you still throw it all away
Knowing the past is a part
Part of what you are today
We all know you had your troubles
We all know you had your days
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Someone showed you the way
That you'll be ready to see
That the game had been played
Losers had lost and the winners were free
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your ways
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
[steel drum solo]
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your days
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Jackie O
So you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin'
You were talkin' to my second cousin
Were you talkin' about me
Were you talkin' about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do
So you went to a party at Jacqueline Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring
So you can see what tomorrow might be
ERIC BURDON lyrics - Red Cross Store
[Originally by Mississippi Fred McDowell]
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She come down Justine, tell me I wanna talk with you in just a little while
Ain't you goin' down and fight for your wife and child?
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She come down here and she shook my hand
She said, "Daddy I want you to go down there and fight for me like a man"
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She said the Red Cross people they treat you mighty fine
They mixing everything up with whiskey and wine
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She come down here talkin' to me about the war
I told her baby I ain't done nothing to go there for
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She come down here and she fell down on her knees
I said baby I have to look somewhere for your butter and cheese
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store
She said Daddy I just come down here to tell you so
You better go running down to that Red Cross store
I told her no!
Baby you know I don't wanna go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross store

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Rose
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette.
Holds her tired face up to the mirror.
She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget,
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her.
She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau.
Beneath the southern moon they found their places.
But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go,
And the memories keep showing up in faces.
So she finds her dressing table and she puts on all of her clothes,
And she cries when she's realized she's just an old Rose.
Rose walks to the kitchen then she fills her coffee cup.
And thinks of how the mornings used to greet her.
But now it's just another day and harder to get up,
And it breaks her heart to think that no one needs her.
And she wants to start all over but she ain't got far to go,
So she cries when she's realized she's just an old Rose.
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette.
Holds her tired face up to the mirror.
She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget,
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her.
INXS lyrics - This Time
I will believe you
If you say it's true
Girl you know I need you more than any
Word spoken
I've seen you before
Turn and walk away
You say you won't come back
It's a game anyway
We are hoping - yes we are praying
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
We are always wanting
Things we cannot find
You know that we are always wasting
Time
You know I can forget
We have fought before
I've seen inside your heart
And I know it's breaking

DANZIG lyrics - Night, BeSodom
She brings her sleepless sex
From babylon
She sends her hallowed name
On wings of flame
Don't ever think she's powerless in ways of love
She only craves the things of sin and lust
Night
Besodom
She lets her blackness fall
Bewitched mane
She steals into all dreams
And clouds all gaze
Don't ever think she's powerless while drawing blood
She only cares for things of sin and lust
Night
Besodom
We bring thee hollow things
Come bring me love
Come witch initiate
Sway back and forth (?)
Oh take no holiday
From drawing blood
We bring thee offering
Of open veins
THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Moment Of Glory
(Music: Klaus Meine; Lyrics: Klaus Meine)
A moment of glory called evolution
Could I see the world with the eyes of a child
A new beginning, a moment of freedom
Like angels are singing a song full of joy
This Side Of Heaven
Belongs To The Children
I will be there, when the future arrives
A moment of glory called evolution
Could I fly away like a bird in the Sky
No limitation, a new inspiration
A World that is free just as free as my mind
Communication
A new destination
The planet of visions is calling tonight
Another thousand years seem so long
I'm just a passenger
And the ride ride has just begun
Moment of glory
A moment of glory called evolution
Could I see the world with the eyes of a child
A new beginning, a moment of freedom
Like angels are singing a song full of joy
This Side Of Heaven
Belongs To The Children
I will be there, when the future arrives
Moment of glory
DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES lyrics - You've Been So Wonderful To Me
(Anna Gaye/Allen Story/George Gordy)
I believe in everything you do
My heart and soul goes out to you
This world was made for boys like you
You never made me cry
You never told me a lie
You've been wonderful to me
Ooh, so wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful, wonderful
You're wonderful and kind
You're forever gently on my mind
Even in my sleep I have wonderful dreams
You're always there speaking sofly it seems
Telling me how much I mean to you
Oh, darling you're my dream come true
You're wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you are
Some day I'll find the words to say
To let you know how much I appreciate
Your being true and loving me the way you do
There's a smile upon my heart
Knowing you'll never say you'll part
You've been so wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
Wonderful to me
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
You've been so wonderful
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have
BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - Before The Kiss, A Redcap
So grab your rose and ring side seat,
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo,
Reds and wine, cokes of course
Oh my suzy, my suzy,
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark
And underneath, the black light,
Underneath it all
Four and forty redheads meet,
Come to doom 'til the dawn
With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a swollen rose
Their tongues extend, and then retract
A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.
Doors like flint and window panes
An endless shadow bar
The owner's boys have gone to work
To stop big deals behind the bar
While outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Where thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills
One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping cat
Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
Still ripe and fully bloomed
A rose that's not from anywhere
That you would know or I would care
And the owners boys act most cheerfully
Back home at Conry's bar
When their patrons' thoughts at last
Grow too big for their skulls
And awful things are happening
We've let this drama fold
And now the time has come at last
To crush the motif of the rose.
So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course
Oh my suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

GENESIS lyrics - Snowbound
(Mike Rutherford)
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow,
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own,
In a casing that's grown
To a children's delight
That arrived overnight.
And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand.
Here in a world of your own,
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never never know.
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see.
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground,
See it rolling away
Wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know.
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies the Snowman
Hey he was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Letting Go
Ah, She Tastes Like Wine
Such A Human Being So Divine
Oh She Feels Like Sun
Mother Nature Look At What You're Done
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.
Ah, She Looks Like Snow
I Want To Put Her In A Broadway Show
Ah She'll Dance And Dine
Like A Lucifer She'll Always Shine
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.
Ah, She Sings It So
I Want To Put Her On The Radio
One Day And There You Are
Ladies And Gentleman -
A Brand New Star.
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go
Oh I Feel Like Letting Go.
ZUCCHERO lyrics - Levati Di Dosso
Tu credi che ho paura di te, si tu lo credi!
e invece sto ridendo di te e non mi vedi!
oh ma se tu vuoi averne un po'
sai che sono pronto, pero
Oh e levati di dosso e gioca il mio gioco
levati di torno e meglio per te!
e levati di mezzo che sono selvaggio
...e credo sia piu facile per te...se vai via di qua!
... Lo sai che e solo un gioco che mi va di giocare...
perche non scappi non lo so, perche vuoi rischiare?
Oh ma se tu vuoi averne un po'... sai che sono pronto pero...
Oh e levati di dosso... e gioca il mio gioco...
E levati di torno e meglio per te!
E levati di mezzo che sono selvaggio!
...E credo sia piu facile per te...
se vai via di qua!
Se vai via di qua!
Di qua!
Se vai, se vai se vai...
Se vai via di qua!

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - For Science
There has been a spacecraft sighted
Flying high above the sky
Sirens declare there's one among us from Venus
Volunteers, we need volunteers
Soldiers to meet them
Have no fear
Have no fear
You will be killed right away
I will date the girl from Venus
Flowers die and so will I
Yes, I will kiss the girl from Venus for science
I'm so brave
I'm so brave
I'll be her love slave
He's so brave
He's so brave
He'll be her love slave forever
Yes, I will date the girl from Venus
Flowers die and so will I
Yes, I will kiss the girl from Venus for science
Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!
JOY DIVISION lyrics - Failures
Don't speak of safe Messiahs,
A failure of the Modern Man,
To the centre of all life's desires,
As a whole not an also ran.
Love in a hollow field,
Break the image of your father's son,
Drawn to an inner feel,
He was thought of as the only one,
He was thought of as the only one.
He no longer denies,
All the failures of the Modern Man,
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
Wise words and sympathy,
Tell the story of our history.
New strength gives a real touch,
Sense and reason make it all too much.
With a strange fatality,
Broke the spirits of a lesser man,
Some other race can see,
In his way he was the only one,
In his way he was the only one.
He no longer denies,
All the failures of the Modern Man,
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
Now that it's right to decide,
In his time he was a total man,
Taken from Caesar's side,
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong.
He no longer denies,
All the failures of the Modern Man,
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
All the failures of the Modern Man.
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Travelin' Man
Up with the sun, gone with the wind
She always said I was lazy
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends
Runnin' when things get too crazy
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars
Women have come, women have gone
Everyone tryin' to cage me
Some were so sweet, I barely got free
Others, they only enraged me
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they've left on my soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Travelin' man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'
Travelin' man, catch if you can
But sooner than later I'm goin'
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
RAY CHARLES lyrics - Tell The Truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Well, you know what you done to me,
You made me fall for you
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Well you know you can make me do what you want me to
Loving you, feelings started
But, I'm goin' to stop it
If I could, I surely would
I would roll up around you
If I thought it would do any good
Why don't you tell the truth
Tell the truth
Well you know you can make me do what you want me to
Loving you, feelings started
But, I'm goin' to stop it
If I could, I surely would
I would roll up around you
If I thought it would do any good
Why don't you tell the truth
Tell the truth
Well you know you can make me do what you want me to
Whooah, come on, tell the truth, now
(tell the truth)
And I know, I know, baby
(tell the truth)
Every day, every night
(tell the truth)
Whooah, hold me tight
(tell the truth)
And I know, and I know
(tell the truth)
You 'oughta, you 'oughta
(tell the truth)
Stop Lying
(tell the truth)
Stop Lying, whooh
(tell the truth)
Whoooh
(tell the truth)
Whoooh
(tell the truth)
Oh baby
(tell the truth)
Now tell the truth
(tell the truth)
Every day of your life, tell the truth little girl
(tell the truth)
What about that man you were with last night
(tell the truth)
I want to know
(tell the truth)
Come on baby
(tell the truth)
Hey hey
(tell the truth)
Every day of your life, you 'oughta
(tell the truth)

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Your Painted Smile
Too fast to live
Too young to die
One stolen babe
A certain smile
We never close babe
We dance all night
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
The name of the place
The name of the place
You'll never know babe
The state I'm in
It's a plastic world babe
No tiger skin
Don't talk to me
Your perfume sighs
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
DIANA ROSS lyrics - Solitude
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

DURAN DURAN lyrics - A Matter Of Feeling
How does it feel
When everyone surrounds you
How do you feel
If crowds just make you feel lonely
What do you say
People going to try to pin you down
Waiting to smile
But there's no understanding
How after awhile
You keep falling off the same mountain
Try to explain it
Nothing really gets them that high.
Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness shot too fast
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last
Emotions again
Saved up for a rainy Monday
But you laugh just the same
Cuz it's been pouring on Sunday
Dial up your numbers
And never let the zeros bring you down
How does it feel
Is time to heavy to hold
Whatever you desire
For the moment is holy
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by
Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness shot too fast
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last
Repeat
PULP lyrics - Acrylic Afternoons
I fell asleep on your sofa,
And had a dream about a small child,
In dungarees,
Who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there,
You were there dressed in green,
Saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here in the first place,
Oh well that and the tea.
Can I stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.
Cushions and TV,
And the table set for tea.
One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee,
In that green jumper,
You can have anything you want.
And the clock is saying,
It's half past four but you know,
I want to stay a little more.
Can I stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.
On a pink quilted eiderdown,
I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade light filtering through the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).
Can I stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank,
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne, come home.
It's time for your tea.
MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Version 2)
The first time ever I saw your face
I saw the sun rise in your eyes
That the moon and stars were a gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love,
That was there at my command.
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine,
I thought our joy would never end
And would last till the end of time, my love,
And would last till the end of time.

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Blue For No Reason
When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?
Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason
THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Blow The Candle Out
(Tom Drake/Bob Shane)
When I sailed into Portland town, I called upon my dear. Her window held a candle. It's light shone bright and clear.
I walked up to her doorstep. I knew she was within. Her candle told the story, boys, and I was home again.
I like her good behaviour. I like her easy way. I cannot sleep contented. The night seems like the day.
To sail in muddy weather, it makes me want to shout and roll her in my arms, boys, and blow the candle out.
When I got home to Portland, 'twas as I said before. The candle at the window and my love at the door.
We let the candle go, boys. We had no care or strife. We went to see the parson and she became my wife.
And when we have a baby, boys, we'll name him after me. She'll keep him neat and kiss him and rock him on her knee,
And when this trip is over, I'll sail no more about. Yes, I'll remain in Portland, Maine, to blow the candle out.
LITA FORD lyrics - Loverman
When the river don't run
And the night won't fall
When I fear the touch
Of the highway's call
When I close my eyes
And the dreams won't come
When the world has set me free
Will you still be with me?
My Loverman
When the moon turns red
And the sun burns black
When the reaper's whip
Falls across my back
Will you lay me down
On a bed of stone
In that long and silent sleep
Will you be with me?
What if I just go flying away?
What would you say?
Would you wait a million years?
Would you cry a million tears for me?
Or would you take my hand?
Would you fly away with me?
Would you be with me?
Loverman
When the hour glass is broken
And the final word is spoken
When fate has lost it's power
This word will still be ours
Loverman
Oh, my Loverman
Yeah
What if I just go flying away?
What would you say?
Would you steal me from the cold?
Would you lead me to my soul again?
And when we reach the end, when we face eternity
Would you be with me, my Loverman?
Oh, Loverman
Yeah
When the river don't run
And the night won't fall
When I fear the touch
Of the highway's call
When I close my eyes
And the dreams won't come
And the world has set me free, yeah
When the moon turns red
And the sun burns black
When the reaper's whip
Across my back
Will you lay me down
Will you lay me down
On a bed of stone
In that long and silent sleep
Loverman
Loverman
Oh, Loverman...

RICK WAKEMAN lyrics - Narration 5
Having made a raft from wood taken from the giant mushroom forest,
with rigging consisting of a mast made of two staves lashed
together, a yard made of a third, and a sail borrowed from their
stock of rugs, they set sail from the harbour - Port Grauben,
named after Axel's fiancee. With a north-westerly wind propelling
them along at about three miles an hour, silvery beams of light,
reflected here and there by drops of spray, produced luminous
points in the eddy created by the raft. Soon all land was lost to
view. Five days out to sea, they witnessed a terrifying battle
between two sea monsters. One having the snout of a porpoise, the
head of a lizard, and teeth of a crocodile - an Ichthyosaurus. And
the other, the mortal enemy of the first, a serpent with a
turtle's shell, the Plesiosaurus.
BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - I Plead Insanity
(Rick Nowels/David Munday/Kushla Prasad)
I can't be responsible
For anything I do now or say now
I get too excitable
To control the way I behave now
I'm afraid of what I'll do
If I find myself alone with you
It's just a crime of passion baby
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent
I'm just out of my mind
I plead insanity
Whoa, I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can't sleep nights
I plead insanity
I know that there are rules for this
And I plan to break every one of them
And if I go too far tonight
Baby you can be my alibi
And if I act irrational
I'm not responsible
For anything that happens here
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent
I'm just out of my mind
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can's sleep nights
I plead insanity
I plead insanity
Whoa, I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can't sleep nights
I have a fantasy...
10,000 MANIACS lyrics - These Are Days
(Music : Rob Buck / Lyrics : Natalie Merchant)
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true, that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
These are days you'll remember
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see in every hour
You'll know it's true, that you are blessed and lucky
It's true, that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
These are the days
That you might fill with laughter
Until you break
These days you might feel a shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
You'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
You'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and
Know they're speaking to you
To you
