PHIL COLLINS lyrics - On My Way

Tell everybody I'm on my way

New friends and new places to see

With blue skies ahead yes

I'm on my way

And there's nowhere else

that I'd rather be



Tell everybody I'm on my way

And I'm loving every step I take

With the sun beating down yes

I'm on my way

And I can't keep this smile off my face



'Cause there's nothing like seeing

each other again

No matter what the distance between

And the stories that we tell

will make you smile

Oh it really lifts my heart



So tell 'em all I'm on my way

New friends and new places to see

And to sleep under the stars

Who could ask for more

With the moon keeping watch over me



Not the snow, not the rain

Can change my mind

The sun will come out, wait and see

And the feeling of the wind in your face

Can lift your heart

Oh there's nowhere I would rather be



'Cause I'm on my way now-

well and truly

I'm on my way now



(I'm on my way now)

[Repeat]



Tell everybody I'm on my way

And I just can't wait to be there

With blue skies ahead yes

I'm on my way

And nothing but good times to share



So tell everybody I'm on my way

And I just can't wait to be home

With the sun beating down yes

I'm on my way

And nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way



Yes, I'm on my way

JOHN DENVER lyrics - River Of Love

(Sommers)



All of my life I've been so happy while I have had you by my side.

Now you say you're gonna leave me for to become someone else's bride.

Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy and the flowers, they are dying on the shore.

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness and the nightingale will sing no more.



What can I do to hide my sorrow, what can I do to ease the pain?

How can I keep these tears from falling? Oh, darling, won't you come back home again?

Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy and the flowers, they are dying on the shore.

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness and the nightingale will sing no more.



Tomorrow I will take you to the station, I will see that you're safely on that train.

When the Two-Nineteen has parted, I'll never ever see your smile again.

Oh, the river of love it has gone muddy and the flowers, they are dying on the shore.

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness and the nightingale will sing no more.

And the blue skies have all turned to darkness and the nightingale will sing no more.

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Pink Guitar

(Ed Hill, Jamie O'Neal, Shaye Smith)



She saw it in the window, just a callin' out her name.

She mowed the grass, took out the trash and saved, saved, saved.

She bought it on a Monday, had a gig on Friday night.

In the garage, in front of her mom, she came alive!



[Chorus:]

She likes to play, she loves to rock.

Yeah, she's closer to the bottom but she's headed for the top.

She's got a dream to be a star dressed in black like Johnny Cash, with a pink guitar.



No, she didn't go to college, she just up and hit the road.

Where ever they were jamming she would go go go.

And every single hole in the wall from here to Shreveport, she'd have them in the palm of her hands, screamin' for more!



[Chorus]



Some day you're gonna see her up there on the Opry stage.

And soon you'll see her hanging there, next to Dolly's face, in the country music hall of fame.



She likes to play, she loves to rock!

She's got a dream to be a star.



[Chorus]



I said a pink guitar.

Oh she's playin' a pink guitar.

THE BYRDS lyrics - Psychodrama City

(David Crosby)



At a dance, I'm standing there

Suddenly approached by a lady fair

Said to me 't'ain't no lie'

If I can't have you I'd surely die

Psychodrama City, don't need none today



My good friends say to me

The world will end soon, wait you'll see

Said I don't care, won't be here

Going to Florida for a half a year

Psychodrama City, don't need none today



Me and my friends got on a plane

One of my friends got off again

To this day don't know why

He got on at all, if he did't really want to fly

Psychodrama City, don't need none today



Me and my friend went over my friends house to see

Me and my friends on his T. V.

Before the night is over I saw six murders, two riots and a war

Not going to watch my friends TV no more

Psychodrama City, don't need none today

QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Ladies First (Radio Edit)

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first



(Funky)

(Funky)



[Queen Latifah]

The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked

Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted

A woman can bear you, break you, take you

Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to

A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream



[Monie Love]

Ayo, let me take it from here, Queen...

Excuse me but I think I'm about do

To get into precisely what I am about to do

I'm conversating to the folks who have no whatsoever clue

So listen very carefully as I break it down for you

Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed

Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed

Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes

Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes)



(Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here)



Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first



[Monie Love]

Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see

I know that all the fellas out there will agree with me

Not the being one but the being with one

Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some

Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on

Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting

We are the ones that give birth

To the new generation of prophets because it's Ladies First



[Queen Latifah]

I break into a lyrical freestyle

Grab the mic, look at the crowd and see smiles

Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two

Sloppy slouching is something I won't do

Some think that we can't flow (can't flow)

Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)

I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse

(With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"



Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first



(Yeah, there's going to be some changes made here)



[Queen Latifah]

Who said that the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind

If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme

Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse

I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe

A female rapper with the message to send the

Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen



[Monie Love]

My sister, can I get some?



[Queen Latifah]

Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb



[Monie Lovie]

Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am

Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American

You dig exactly where I'm coming from

You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some

To enable you to aid yourself and get paid

And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay

Pay me every bit of your attention

Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention

I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm

Of which is now systematically given

Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister

Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another

Plus one more; all four

Have a job to do, we doing it

Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it

And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E

And I'm first cause I'm a L-A-D-I-E



[Queen Latifah]

Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder

Cooling on the scene with my European partner

Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax

When I get there, that's when I tax

The next man, or the next woman

It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming

And I'll recite the chapter in verse

The title of this recital is "Ladies First"



Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first



[Queen Latifah]

Step out into the night

Queens of civilization are on the mic

The scene is right, the crowd is hype

I expel the wack and those who bite

Why, cause I'm that type

Swaying with beats 45 King style

He wants me to sing but I swing, so meanwhile

A footnote for the opposite sex

Monie ripped the mic, I rocked it next

Plex, you never catch me at my worst

You get the drift? It's Ladies First

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Backwards Traveller

Hey, did you know that i'm

Always going back in time

Rhyming slang, auld lang syne my dears

Through the years

I am the backwards traveller

Ancient wool unraveller

Sailng songs, wailing on the moon



And we were sailing songs, wailing on the moon

Wailing on the moon.

HEART lyrics - Blue Guitar

Young girl feeling pretty wild

Young girl in the band

Rolling into another town

Living the best they can



Across the street, a music store

She gotta find a brand new axe

And there he was, that blue guitar

He was staring her right back

Staring her right back



She held him close and he felt just fine

He warmed her up - she know he was just right

Together they cut right through the night



She made herself a local scene

And man that axe

Could sing and scream

Crying for that big breakthrough

Only small time local news



Just about to pack it in

Mr. Money Biz rolled in

Paid the way - broke the band

A living one night stand

A living one night stand



She held him close and he felt just fine

He warmed her up - she know he was just right

Together they cut right through the night

Like touching fire

Like holding desire

Like touching fire

Like holding desire



Take this platinum, take this gold

Burn too hot, it turns you cold

Nothin' left to hold on to

But that guitar was always true

That man was always true



She held him close and he felt just fine

He warmed her up - she know he was just right

Together they cut right through the night

Like touching fire

Like holding desire

Like touching fire

Like holding desire

B. B. KING lyrics - Please Love Me

I've been in love with you, baby

Honey, before I learned to call your name

Yes, was in love with you, baby

Honey, before I learned to call your name

Yeah, the way you treatin' me, baby

Yeah, you know I love you

Honey, that I wouldn't do for you



Well, if you love me, baby

Honey, do everything I say

Yeah, if you love me, baby

Baby, I'm gonna be your boy

Yes, be my girlfriend, baby

Honey and I'm gonna be your boy

Yeah, I'm gonna buy me a Cadillac car

Just to drive me where ever you are...

LOBO lyrics - I'll Come Back To You

(Lobo)



[Adapted from the popular Philippines song "Dahil Sayo"]



A leaf falls in a stream

And the timeless trip begins

When it gets to the sea

Then it's home again



When life gets to me

And I need some room to breathe

Like that gently floating leaf

Is how I need to be



If I close my eyes

I can drift away

And be back on that stream

So very far away



No matter where I go

On these dreams I'm going through

Like a leaf that finds the sea

I'll come back to you

BEE GEES lyrics - Emotion

It's over and done but the heartache lives on inside

And who's the one you're clinging to instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?

Tears on my pillow wherever you go

I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You never see me fall apart



In the words of a broken heart

It's just emotion that's taken me over

Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling

You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight

Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight



I'm there at your side, I'm part of all the things you are

But you've got a part of someone else

You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?

Tears on my pillow wherever you go

I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You never see me fall apart



In the words of a broken heart

It's just emotion that's taken me over

Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling

You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight

Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight

Goodnight



And where are you now, now that I need you?

Tears on my pillow wherever you go

I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You never see me fall apart



In the words of a broken heart

It's just emotion that's taken me over

Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling

You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight

Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight

Goodnight



In the words of a broken heart

It's just emotion that's taken me over

Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling

You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight

Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight

Goodnight

(Goodnight)

THE WHO lyrics - Christmas

[Father:]



Did you ever see the faces of children

They get so excited.

Waking up on christmas morning

Hours before the winter 1's ignited.

They believe in dreams and all they mean

Including heavens generosity.

Peeping round the door

to see what parcels are for free

In curiosity.



And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.

Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.

How can he be saved?

From the eternal grave.



Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently,

And unaware of everything.

Playing poxy pin ball

picks his nose and smiles and

Pokes his tongue at everything.

I believe in love

but how can men who've never seen

Light be enlightened.

Only if he's cured

will his spirits future level ever heighten.



And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.

Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.

How can he be saved?

>From the eternal grave.

Tommy can you hear me?

Tommy can you hear me?

Tommy can you hear me?

How can he be saved?



[Tommy:]



See me, feel me

Touch me, heal me.

See me, feel me

Touch me, heal me!



Tommy can you hear me?

Tommy can you hear me?

Tommy can you hear me?

How can he be saved?

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Drinking Water (Aqua De Beber)

(A. C. Joblim, V. De Moraes, N. Gimbel)



[Recorded Febrary 12, 1969, Hollywod]



Your love is rain, my heart the flower, I need your love or I will die

My very life is your power, will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky

Aqua de Beber, Give the flower water to drink

Aqua de Beber, Give the flower water to drink

The rain can fall on distant deserts, the rain can fall upon the sea

The rain can fall upon the flower, since the rain has to fall let it fall on me

Aqua de Beber, Give the flower water to drink

Aqua de Beber, Give the flower water to drink

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Country Blues

NAZARETH lyrics - Called Her Name

Called her name but the wind blew strong,

I called in vain though I tried so long,

Called the sea to bring her home,

But the sea don't hear and I'm still alone

I feel an emptiness inside

Something within me I can't hide



Standing here looking at the sky,

But the light I see can't tell me why,

I feel an emptiness inside,

Something within me I can't hide.



Everytime I stop to think

That's the time I get lonely

That's the time it hurts the most

Everytime I get lonely.



What went wrong, who am I to blame,

Did I take too long, to call her name,



I feel an emptiness inside

Something within me I can't hide.

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Non Ti Sopporto Piu

(Zucchero)



Non ti sopporto piu, davvero.

ma come faccio

a dirtelo

devo buttarmi

dal quinto piano

Vedi, non dormo piu

ho il cuore in tasca e intanto tu.

sbatti sbatti

la bandiera al sole

e tutta asciutta

come le mie parole

Vedi, non ne posso piu

l'Italia e in festa

e io sono giu.



Non ti sopporto piu davvero

perche mi hai rotto il blues a me

Non ti sopporto piu sicuro

perche mi hai preso il blu del ciel.



Se tu mi amassi

un po' di piu

e camminassi

coi piedi al suolo

credi mi sentirei

un altro uomo e un po' meno solo!



(datti una mossa)... ma come faccio

(datti una mossa)... a dirtelo

(datti una mossa)... devo buttarmi

(datti una mossa)... dal quinto piano

(comodo no)... vedi, non ne posso piu

(comodo no)... l'Italia e in festa

e io sono giu.



Ma un'anima ce l'hai

hey un'anima ce l'hai.



E ci credevo

accidenti a me

Non hai capito

e allora sai che c'e!

Non ti sopporto

Non ti sopporto piu davvero!



Ma un'anima ce l'hai

hey un'anima ce l'hai.



e ci credevo

accidenti a me

Non hai capito

e allora sai che c'e!

Non ti sopporto piu davvero

perche mi hai rotto il blues a me...

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - Evidence

If you want to open the hole

Just put your head down and go

Step beside the piece of circumstance

Got to wash away the taste of evidence



Wash it away

(Evidence...got a taste of evidence)



I didn't feel a thing

It didn't mean a thing

Look in the eye and testify;

I didn't feel a thing



Anything you say, we know you're guilty

Hands above your head and you won't even feel me



You won't feel me

MADNESS lyrics - Nutty Theme

(McPherson/Thompson)



Hello Good Evening And Welcome



I've been down the high road towards the crossroads

To hear the sound thats buggin me

Catchy little rhythms in music and rhyme, its that nutty sound you see



Rhythm....



As I got nearer I heard it clearer it started to affect my brain

Its that nutty rhythm that gets you thinking your almost going insane.

I felt the ground shake,

I had a feeling I was sitting on an old steam train



Shaking in me knee bones and me elbows, its driving me around the bend

Uncontrollable feelings sends me reeling

There's no need top pretend



Melody...



It had me spell bound, span me head round

I could feel myself going mad



Now I am an addict

I have to hear it

Everything else sounds bad.....

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL lyrics - Long As I Can See The Light

(J. Fogerty)



Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.

Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,

'Long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let's get movin', 'cause I'm bound to drift a while.

When I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry long,

'Long as I can see the light.



Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone, 'cause this feelin' won't leave me alone.

But I won't, won't be losin' my way, no, no

'Long as I can see the light.



Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!



Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.

Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Heavy Church

(A. O'Day)



Light my way with incensed candles ooh.

Rug so soft beneath my sandals, ooh.

I've never been in here before

Like to feel the glory.



Mercy, mercy on the love defenders

Have pity on the pretenders

A little help from all lifes losers

A little truth from the mind abusers

Ooh I need them playing in the Heavy Church



If you judge the way they're living ooh,

Try to see the truth their giving you

They only want to touch your hand with understanding.



Mercy, mercy on the love defenders

Have pity on the pretenders

A little help from all Lots losers

A little truth from the mind abusers

Ooh I need them playing in the Heavy Church



Mercy, mercy on the love defenders

Have pity on the pretenders

A little help from all lifes losers

A little truth from the mind abusers



Mercy, mercy on the love defenders

Have pity on the pretenders

A little help from all lifes losers

A little truth from the mind abusers

Hear them, hear them, hear them, hear them

Run and see the truth they're giving you

Hear them, hear them

Run and see the truth they're giving you

Hear them, hear them

Run

Hear them, hear them

Run and see the truth they're giving you

Hear them, hear them

Run

STONE FURY lyrics - Life Is Too Lonely

Well I saw the way you looked at me

And knew what you would say

When you said goodbye

I promised that I'd try

To love you, til the day that I die

Only time will tell

Whether I mean well

But babe, I do the best that I can

And the time seems long

My fear is strong

You wanna run and let me go



[Chorus:]

Life is too lonely without you

Love is the only way out for you



Oh, don't forget, that when we met

Time was on our side

Well, nothing's changed, the love remains

You better stick to what you know

You're so far away, far away

You gotta know that I love you

You're so far away, far away

You gotta know that I love you



Now I see your eyes, I'm by your side

Your love burns bright for me tonight

I cannot forget, it's not over yet

Even though you wanna let go

THEOLA KILGORE lyrics - The Love Of My Man

The love of my man

Keeps me safe and warm

The love of my man protects me from all harm

'Cause I know-ow that he loves me

And I know that I, I,I, I,I, I love him



And I, I, I love-a, love-a, love-a my man

Makes my whole li-ife worth living

All the love, the love of my man

Makes me feel just like giving

It all, when his lips

When his lips are on mine

Give me a feeling that's so divine, oh yeah



When he goes away

I'm never, no, no, no

I'm never lonely

Oh, 'cause I know that he thinks of me only

And no matter, no matter

What my friends may say

I'll keep on lovin him any way

Ohhh, yes I will



(The love of my man)

Oh, the love of my man

Oh, early in the morning and late at night

I love to talk about the love of my man

Yeah-ah, the love of my man

His precious love

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Tight

From new york city to east L. A.

Touchdown miami

Philadelphia, P. A.

Look out your window

Hang up the phone

Honey, run tell everyone

That band is on the radio



So if you gonna wear my t-shirt

Gotta make the choice

Jump on daddy's speakers

You will feel my voice

Jump back with your heart attack

I'm what my daddy said i'd never be

So tell the folks at home



I'm making history

`cause this band is tight

And we can rock all night

Yeah so damn tight



Tight

They're on the T. V., the stereo

They're on the internet

Man, that band can really go.



Right from the apple

To east L. A.

Touchdown Miami

Philadelphia, P. A.



No, it doesn't get much better

I was a face in the mob

So if you're lookin' for adventure

You should try my job-

And all those rock `n' rollers

I used to wanna meet?

Now they're pushing strollers

And wanna be me...

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Capital G (Epworth Phones)

I pushed a button and elected you to office

And he pushed a button and it dropped the bomb

You pushed a button and could watch it all on the television

Those motherfuckers didn't last too long

I'm sick of hearing about the haves and the have-nots

Have some personal accountability

The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is

The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me



Well, I used to stand for something

Now I'm on my hands and knees

Traded in my god for this one

And he signs his name with a capital G



Don't give a shit about the temprature in Guatemela

Don't really see what all the fuss is about

Ain't gonna worry about no future generations

I'm sure somebody gonna figure it out

Don't try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person

You haven't had enough to know it's like

You're only angry cause you wish you were in my position

Now nod your head because you know that I'm right



Well, I used to stand for something

But forgot what that could be

There's a lot of me inside you

Maybe you're afraid to see



I used to stand for something

Now on my hands and kness

Traded in my god for this one

And he signs his name with a capital G

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Long Dark Road

(Hicks / Lynch)



It's over, well over

In my mind and in my heart

It's over, well over

But then again it didn't have a good start



You'd tell me, try to sell me

It could have been all I asked

It's over, well over

It's there and flows away

A distant past



[Chorus:]

Now it's a long dark road

Yes, a long dark road

And you know I loved you

Yes, you know I loved you



[Chorus]



It's over, well over

And we can't revive what's past

It's gone now, moved on now

But then again it didn't have a chance to last

No, no, no, a chance to last



[Chorus]

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - My Lovely Man

I used to shout

Across the room to you

And you'd come dancin'

There is no other

Memory so sad and sweet

I'll see you soon

Save me a seat



[Chorus]

Well I'm cryin'

Now my lovely man

Now and no one can

Ever fill the

The hole you left my man

I'll see you later

My lovely man if I can



In my room

Waiting for you

To get home



Listen to Roberta Flack

[Chorus]



Just in case

You never knew

I miss you sum



I love you too

See my heart

It's black and blue

When I die

I will find you

I gotta keep rocking, just to make a dime

My woman keeps me pumping, and that's alright

but I wake up screaming in the middle of the night.



GOING CRAZY - It's driving me mad

CRAZY - All the things I never had

CRAZY - Did someone call my name

I woke up screaming, she was doing it again



Got no credit and my daddy's in jail

My mommy got pregnant by another man

It's to late, to later to change it

I have 3 brothers and I know they didn't planned it



I wish Superman was inside my body

Batman and all the gang, my favorite funnies

Bang Bang, shoot them all down

Life's a bloody circus and I'm the star clown Cause



No one never takes me serious

They say you're on drugs and delirious

A sex crazed maniac, always on the run

Cause his momma and his pappa, they don't seem to give a damn



GOING CRAZY - It's driving me mad

CRAZY - All the things I never had

CRAZY - Did someone call my name

I woke up screaming, she was doing it again



Solo - Oh do it

D-D-D Do it



YEAH UH



21 and a no one

I live my life with a loaded gun

Bang Bang, there it goes again

I don't really give a damn what jail I am in



My daddy's there and thats alright

He won't be sleeping much once he knows I'm inside

Gonna pay him a little visit, When they call lights out

He'll be kicking and screaming when he sees how I turned out



GOING CRAZY - It's driving me mad

CRAZY - All the things I never had

CRAZY - Did someone call my name

I woke up screaming, she was doing it again



CRAZY - It's driving me mad

CRAZY - All the things I never had

CRAZY - Did someone call my name

She was right there with me when we do it again



CRAZY - It's driving me mad

CRAZY - All the things I never had

CRAZY - Did someone call my name

She was right there with me when we do it again



CRAZY



CRAZY



I'm going CRAZY

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance)

She slid down to the city limits

Monkey time in fifteen minutes

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Don't let me down

Please stick around

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance



Strobe light on the funky feet

Soul children in the disco heat

Top dog, top cat

Move that muscle and shake that fat

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance



Chicago, L. A.

Every place, every way

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance



Strobe light on the funky feet

The soul children in the disco heat

Top dog, top cat

Move that muscle and shake that fat

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance



Illinois, Santa Fe

Do what I say

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance



Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

AFTER THE FIRE lyrics - Der Kommissar

Zwei, drei, vier

One, two, three

Its easy to see

But its not that I don't care so

'Cause I hear it all the time

But they never let you know

On the TV and the radio

She was young her heart was pure

But every night is bright she got

She said sugar is sweet

She come rappin' to the beat

Then I knew that she was hot



She was singin'

Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

You're in his eye

And you'll know why

The more you live

The faster you will die



Alles klar, Herr Kommissar



[Instrumental Interlude]



She said, babe, you know

I miss Jill and Joe

And all my funky friends

But my street understanding

Was just enough to know what she really meant

And I got to thinking while she was talking

That I know she told the story

Of those special places that she goes

When she rides with the others in the subway singin'



Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

And if he talks to you

And you don't know why

You say your life

Is gonna make you die



Alles klar, Herr Kommissar



Well, we meet Jill and Joe

And brother Herr

And the whole cool gang and, oh

They're rappin' here they're rappin' there

But she's climbin' on the wall

It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar

'Cause all the children know

They're all slidin' down into the valley

They're all slipping on the same snow



Hear the children

Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

He's got the power

And you're so weak

And you're frustration

Will not let you speak

La, la, la, la, la, la



Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

And if he talks to you

Then you'll know why

The more you live

The faster you will die



Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

Don't turn around, uh oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh oh

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Don't Take Me For Granted

I'm your worn in leather jacket

I'm the volume in your fucked up teenage band

A pack of smokes and a six pack

I'm the dreams you had walking down the railroad tracks

You and Me.



I'm your first taste of romance

I'm your first broken heart on a Saturday night

Guys like us ain't got no chance

But I'm the thing that keeps you and me alive

But not forever



[Chorus:]

So take me down the road

Take me to the show

Its something to believe in

That no one else knows

But don't take me granted



I'm the blood on your guitar

I'm that wave you caught back in 1975

I'm as strong as a thousand armies

I'm as soft as pedal on a long stem rose

I am love



[Chorus]



I'm with you when you're born

You can take me when you die

With all the reasons why

But don't take me for granted

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Drums Are Too Noisy

Larry: Drums are too noisy, 'n you've got no corners to hide in!



John: So when she's beating him over the nose with a tire iron. and then we both jump away and disappear, and the pig will turn around and there'll be this pony

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Now And Forever

(Graham Russell)



When love is new

And the world is out reaching for you

We try hard to hold it all

In our hands

But it slips through

Like soft drifting sands

But drying the tears

Can build it all like new



[Chorus:]

Now and forever

Remember the words

From my heart will always be true

Now and forever

Together and all that I feel

Here's my love for you



Learning each day

That the right time was so far away

To tell you the things I knew

Now it's clear

That the moment

We searched for is here

And counting the years

Is all I want to do



[Chorus]



Hold me as close

As love will allow

Until all your fears are gone

What has all passed

Is over now

I'm here with you

I'm here with you

I'm holding on

I'm holding on

Is my love for you



[Chorus]

THE KINKS lyrics - Oh! What A Day It's Gonna Be

I can see

Oh what a day it's gonna be

There'll never be another like it

As far as I can see



'Cause the world's gonna know

When they see our good times grow

Oh yes, today, girl

Oh what a day it's gonna be



'Cause I can hear

The birds are singing

It seems a better life beginning

And all the mist will clear



'Cause the sun is gonna shine

And keep shining all the time

Oh yes, today, girl

Oh what a day it's gonna be



I can see

Oh what a day it's gonna be

It seems the very air I'm breathing

Is bringing you to me



And then when our days are few

We'll remember things we're doing

Yes, today, girl

Oh what a day it's gonna be

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Call Me (I Got Yo Number)

Why do you play this sly game

Why do you freak-I know you're weak for me

I only got an hour baby

I hate to go-But this is life on the road

You knew it when you met me

You said it was no problem

You said that you could deal now you feel

Just like a part-time lover

And though I have no other

Hey girl-I got your number



Call me, If you need some love and affection

Call me, Just look in my direction

Call me, For a little understanding child

Call me, Hey girl-I got your number



Why do you play this shy game

Why do you square-I know you care for me

100 miles per hour baby

I hate to go-But this is life on the road

You knew it when you met me

You said it was no problem

You said that you could deal now you feel

Just like a part-time lover

And though I have no other

Hey girl-I got your number-ugh



Call me, If you need some satisfaction

Call me, Just look in my direction

Call me, If you need some understanding child

I know your every move baby

I know you inside out

I know what makes you tick child

I know you like the back of my hand

I know the things you like to do

I know you need a love that's true

I'll give you everything and more

That's what I'm living for

Baby girl you know the score

Call me-(Repeat Chorus)

Yeah, I got your number

I know you like the back of my hand

Hey girl-I got your number

I know what makes you tick child

Yes I know you

Call me-(ad lib)



If you want to ugh

Hey girl-I got your number

Call me, If you want to dance all night

If you want a love that's right

Hey girl-I got your number



I know you like the back-back of my hand

I know you like the favorite book on my nightstand

I know you like the way that you talk to the chicks

When I turn my head and they call you slick

I know you like the song that stays in my heart

I know you like drama and in time you'll see

That I rock real hard 'cause I am L. T.

Call me-Call me R. J.-I got your number

I know you like the way that I turn you round

When I hold you tight and I love you down

I know you like the most important ecstacy

That I ever heard and that could ever be

I know you like the streets that I grew up on

I know you like my rap and I know it's strong

I know you like I know you and I got to say

That I rock real hard 'cause I am the R. J.

PETER FRAMPTON lyrics - Vaudeville Nanna And The Banjolele

Vaudeville Nanna and The Banjolele

Waiting for me and a rainy day

Trying to cross road, they all look like candy

Guitars behind glass that I wanted to play



I beg for one, oh, but dad's just a teacher

Could barely afford to buy me such things

I woke him up at 3 in the morning

Asked him to tune the extra two strings



They're the best days of my life

I can never get back

What will never be again

But I can close my eyes

And I can see them, ooh



My dear old mom, frustrated actress

Reluctant victory, writing with me

My first attempt at filling the pages

She was the angel, the angel you see



They're the best days of my life

I can never get back

What will never be again

But I can close my eyes

And I can see them, see them



I have this dream, we're all at the table

Sharing verses, stories and song

Vaudeville Nanna and The Banjolele

She hands it to me and I play along



The best days of my life

Are somewhere up the road

With my family and friends

I can close my eyes

And I can see them, see them

BABYFACE lyrics - End Of The Road

[spoken]

Girl you know we belong together

I have no time for you to be playing

With my heart like this

You'll be mine forever baby, you just see



[verse]

We belong together

And you that I'm right

Why do you play with my heart,

hy do you play with my mind?



Said we'd be forever

Said it'd never die

How could you love me and leave me

And never say good-bye?



When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight

Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry

Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead

Spinnin' around and around



[Chorus:]

Although we've come to the End Of The Road

Still I can't let you go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Come to the End of the Road

Still I can't let you go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you



Girl, I know you really love me,

You just don't realize

You've never been there before

It's only your first time



Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm

Maybe you'll try

We should be happy together

Forever, you and I



Can you love me again like you loved me before

This time I want you to love me much more

This time instead just come to my bed

And baby just don't let me, don't let me down



[Chorus]



[spoken]

Girl I'm here for you

All those times of night when you just hurt me

And just run out with that other fella

Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care

You just don't understand how much I love you do you?

I'm here for you



I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night

Just like you did baby but that's all right

Hey, I love you anyway

And I'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day baby

Right now, I'm just in so much pain baby

Coz you just won't come back to me

Will you? Just come back to me



(Lonely)

Yes baby my heart is lonely

(Lonely)

My heart hurts baby

(Lonely)

Yes I feel pain too

Baby please



This time instead just come to my bed

And baby just don't let me go



[Chorus]



[Chorus (a cappella)]

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Death Is Not The End

When you're sad and when you're lonely

And you haven't got a friend

Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred

Falls down and dows not bend

Just remember that death is not the end.



Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end.



When you're standing on the cross-roads

That you cannot comprehend

Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished

And you don't know what's up the bend

Just remember that death is not the end.



Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end.



When the storm clouds gather round you

And heavy rains descend

Just remember that death is not the end

And there's nowhere there to comfort you

With helping hand to lend

Just remember that death is not the end.



Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end.



Oh the tree of life is growing

Where the spirit never dies

And the bright light of salvation

Shines in dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire

When the burning flesh of men

Just remember that death is not the end

And you search in vain to find

Just one law abiding citizen

Just remember that death is not the end.



Not the end, not the end

Just remember that death is not the end.

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Junko Pardner

(Robert Shad)



Down the road, down the road come

My junko pardner

He was loaded as he could be

He was knocked down, knock down loaded

And he sang this song to me



Well I'd pawn my silver pen

I would pawn my watch and chain

I would pawn my pretty Isabella

But the poor gal can't sign her name



Down the road, down the road come

My junko pardner

He was loaded as he could be

He was knocked down, knocked down loaded

And he sang this song to me



Down the road, down the road come

My junko pardner

He was loaded as he could be

He was knocked down, knocked down loaded

And he sang this song to me



Well six months ain't no sentence

And a year just ain't no time

We got boys down in Angola

Serving one to ninety-nine



Down the road, down the road come

My junko pardner

He was loaded as he could be

He was knocked down, knocked down loaded

And he wobbled all over the street



Down the road, down the road come

My junko pardner

He was loaded as he could be

He was knocked down, knocked down loaded

And he sang this song to me

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Back Street Slide

(Richard Thompson)



Those backstreet women, watch what you say

You turn your back and they slide away

They run next door, they give it all away

Doing the slide



The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide



Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence

She's got no teeth, she's got no sense

You don't need much intelligence

Doing the slide



The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide



Slide over here, slide over there

Spreading that scandal everywhere

Stab you in the back and they just don't care

Doing the slide



Now slander is a loving tongue

They speak your name to everyone

Never is a curse left unsung

Doing the slide



The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide



The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Fields Of Summer

(Nanci Griffith)



I am fragile in the morning

I grow stronger in the day

I can sprint like a new spring doe

By the fall of the night

Love has chased me down

Through the cities and the towns

Until I stood beside the road

And let it pass me by

Like a fool I've missed the rain

Cuz I was crying



[Chorus:]

Then you are calling

Call my heart awake from years of slumber

And then I'm falling

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer

Can you hold me?

Though I am inclined to

Leave my home and wander

Can you keep me...

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer?

Fields of summer

Fields of summer

I am falling

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer



Now that you have caught me

Are you sure you really want me?

Though I'm fragile as December

On your shoulder in the dawn

And when the day has made me stronger...

Can you satisfy my hunger?

When the night has come and I would race the moon

Across the sky...

Would you chase me through

Those open fields of summer



[Chorus]



Can you hold me?

Hold me?

Hold me?

Because I'm falling,

Like a child head over heel

In fields of summer

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - If I Wrote You

(D. Williams)



I never thought you were the letter writing type

So now I see the words you chose the way you write

So I started to write back about the trees in the snow

And I saw a bird, couldn't see what it was but I thought you'd know

You always surprised me



And if I wrote you

If I wrote you

You wouldknow me

And you would not write me again



And when the spring came and flooded all the streams

It's like how you got the night you told me all you dreams

And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout

It's like how you got when you knew the truth was the only way out

But not the only way



And if I wrote you

If I wrote you

You wouldknow me

And you would not write me again



We drew our arms around the bastard sons

We never would drink to the chosen ones

Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned

But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand

So I'm steady now



And I'm so happy

I had to tell you

And I love you

And you will not write me again

You will not write me again

You will not write me again

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Chicas

(Zucchero - Salerno / Paez)



Chicas

En busca de problemas

Chicas al telefono que nunca suena

Chicas Esperando el dia

Chicas perdidas sin ninguna compania



Te dice algo con tus ojos

Y se llenan de aventuras

Y si algo no salio tan bien

Se llenan solo de amargura



Las veo caminando siempre

Siempre juntas bajo el sol

Amanecer, atardeceres

Sin problemas, sin dolor



Chicas

Planetas dispersos

Para tantos, tantos hombres tan diversos

Chicas Amigas de siempre

Chicas de moda, chicas contra la corriente...



Sus ojos tienen aeroplanos

Para ver desde lo alto

Donde se respira un aire

Que oxigena como un canto



Las veo caminando siempre

Siempre juntas bajo el sol

Amanecer, atardeceres

Sin problemas, sin dolor



Chicas

En busca de problemas

Chicas al telefono que nunca suena

Chicas

Que esperan el dia

Chicas perdidas sin ninguna compania

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Prove It All Night

I've been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean,

Tonight we'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline,

To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue,

Baby just one kiss will get these things for you,

A kiss to seal our fate tonight,

A kiss to prove it all night.



Prove it all night,

Girl there's nothing else that we can do,

So prove it all night, prove it all night,

And girl I'll prove it all night for you.



Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist,

There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this,

But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice,

But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight,

Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.



Prove it all night,

Girl there's nothing else that we can do,

So prove it all night, prove it all night,

And girl I'll prove it all night for you.

Prove it all night, prove it all night girl and call the bluff,

Prove it all night, prove it all night and girl,

I prove it all night for your love.



Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow,

Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo,

You hear the voices telling you not to go,

They made their choices and they'll never know,

What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie,

What it's like to live and die.



Prove it all night,

Girl there's nothing else that we can do,

So prove it all night, prove it all night,

And girl I'll prove it all night for you.

To prove it all night...

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Slave Driver

Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh.

Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)

Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) Wo, now!



Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,

My blood runs cold.

I remember on the slave ship,

How they brutalize the very souls.

Today they say that we are free,

Only to be chained in poverty.

Good God, I think it's illiteracy;

It's only a machine that makes money.

Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.



Slave driver, uh! The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire)

Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)



Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,

My blood runs cold.

I remember on the slave ship,

How they brutalize the very soul.



O God, have mercy on our souls!

Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire)

Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)

Catch a fire... [fadeout]

SMOKIE lyrics - Too Many Pennies In Hell

(C. Norman / P. Spencer)



Too many pennies in hell

born in my eyes

I'm going down

Down to the bar

to swimm in the sea

Looking at you

Looking at me

Counting the cost

Nothing is free

See

My life

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Love Story

I like your mother

I like your brother

I like you

And you like me too

We'll get a preacher

I'll buy a ring

We'll hire a band

With an accordion

A violin

And a tenor who can sing



You and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby



We'll have a kid

Or maybe we'll rent one

He's got to be straight

We don't want a bent one

He'll drink his baby brew

From a big brass cup

Someday he may be president

If things loosen up



You and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby

You and me you and me you and me, baby



I'll take the train into the city ev'ry mornin'

You may be plain - I think you're pretty in the mornin'

And some nights we'll go out dancin'

If I am not too tired

Some nights we'll sit romancin'

Watching the Late Show by the fire



When our kids are grown

With kids of their own

They'll send us away

To a little home in Florida

We'll play checkers all day

Until we pass away

RENAISSANCE lyrics - Kalynda (A Magical Isle)

Each day brings me closer home to you

The place I long to see

Horizons lost regained

Always stay the same

In my mind never change for me - Kalynda



I need to feel the warmth of open skies

To lay beneath the sun

And watch the love birds fly

Clouds can fill my eyes

But still I see you reach for me - Kalynda



[Chorus:]

I have held you close to all the times

You've stayed inside my soul

When I am half I think of you

And life becomes a whole

Lazy shores are more to me

Than shifting sand and sea

You're my all, my refuge, where I must be

To rest in peace awhile - I hold Kalynda



Gentle wind that plays upon my face

Caress the evening dream

And watch the twilight fade

Into waking scenes

This I'll always share with you - Kalynda



[Chorus]

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face,

I thought the sun rose in your eyes,

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies, my love,

To the night and the empty skies.



The first time ever I kissed your mouth,

I felt the earth turn 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 fill the earth

And would last till the end of time, my love,

And would last till the end of time.



The first time ever I saw your face,

I thought the sun rose in your eyes,

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies, my love,

To the night and the empty skies.

ROD STEWART lyrics - Handbags And Gladrags

(Michael D'Abo)



Ever seen a blind man cross the road

trying to make the other side

Ever seen a young girl growing old

trying to make herself a bride



So what becomes of you my love

When they have finally stripped you of

The handbags and the gladrags

That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy

Baby



Once I was a young man

and all I thought I had to do was smile

You are still a young girl

and you bought everything in style

Listen

But once you think you're in you're out

'cause you don't mean a single thing without

the handbags and the gladrags

that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy



Sing a song of six-pence for your sake

And take a bottle full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake

And bake them all in a pie



They told me you missed school today

So what I suggest you just throw them all away

the handbags and the gladrags

that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy



They told me you missed school today

So I suggest you just throw them all away

the handbags and the gladrags

that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - A Little On The Lonely Side

You ask me how I'm doin' since you left

I can't lie, sometimes I'm beside myself

And the way I feel is to hard to hide

A little on the lonely side



Do you really want to know

What I've been through

Let me just say I'm still wrapped up in you

And the broken heart keeps me alive

A little on the lonely side



I'm a little on the lonely side

Where only the strong survive

And I'm barely gettin' by

A little on the lonely side



Some days I spend all my nights on memories

Goin' through what's left of what used to be

And the nights get longer all the time

A little on the lonely side



I'm a little on the lonely side

Where only the strong survive

And I'm barely gettin' by

A little on the lonely side



I'm a little on the lonely side

Where only the strong survive

And I'm barely gettin' by

A little on the lonely side

JOHN AND MARY lyrics - Can't Ignore The Train

(John Lombardo/Natalie Merchant)



Steep is the water tower

Painted off blue to match the sky



Can't ignore the train



Night walks in the valley silent

You could swear the earth just moved



Can't ignore the train



Dust to be kicked up

In the crack faced

Idle sinister town

Screen door to the rail station

Devil in her shoe



She ran along side the wasted tracks

Hem pins darted in her calves



Can't ignore the train



One spoiled girl with the tidiest apology

Some how wedged inside her throat



Can't ignore the train



Patience their virtue

But I never could abide by that

Dungeon life with electric light

A clean towel and a basin

Mantle figures state their places

Laughs where they belong



Through adventure we are not adventuresome



Rage to share with a wardrobe mirror

In a room so beige and cold



Can't ignore the train



Window days saw the children pick their

Street games on thirty, thirty afternoons



Molly the boys are

Starting in that rhyme again

Teasing more and more...



The second daughter

How she fell

Young locked in Some Folk's prison

Made to dwell

Till they're braiding

Her grey hair



Sitting in the wishing chair

Sitting in the wishing chair

Sitting in the wishing chair

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Lone Palm

My garden is filled with papayas and mangos

My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos

Taste for the good life, I can live it no other way



While out on the beach there are two empty chairs

That say more than the people who ever sit there

From under my lone palm I can look out on the day



Where no bird flies by my window

No ship is tied to my tree

Love is a wave building to a crescendo

Ride if you will, ride it with me



I knew this girl made of memories and phrases

Who lived her whole life in both chapters and stages

Danced til the dawn, wished all her worries away



Well she wasn't crazy no she wasn't mad

She just wanted the father that she never had

From under my lone palm I think about her today



Where no bird flies by my window

No ship is tied to my tree

Love is a wave building to a crescendo

Ride if you will, ride it with me



We sailed from the port of indecision

Young and wild with oh so much to learn

Days turn into years as we tried to fool our fears

But to the port of indecision I returned



My gardens are filled with papayas and mangos

My life is a mixture of jingles and jangles

Come Christmas winds and blow all my worries away



Where no bird flies by my window

No ship is tied to my tree

Love is a wave building to a crescendo

Ride if you will, ride it with me



Sing if you will and we'll sing to the sea

RUSH lyrics - The Analog Kid

A hot and windy August afternoon

Has the trees in constant motion

With a flash of silver leaves

As they're rocking in the breeze

The boy lies in the grass with one blade

Stuck between his teeth

A vague sensation quickens

In his young and restless heart

And a bright and nameless vision

Has him longing to depart

Chorus

You move me

You move me

With your buildings and your eyes

Autumn woods and winter skies

You move me

You move me

Open sea and city lights

Busy streets and dizzy heights

You call me

You call me

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs

Dances on the edge of his dream

And her voice rings in his ears

Like the music of the spheres

The boy lies in the grass, unmoving

Staring at the sky

His mother starts to call him

As a hawk goes soaring by

The boy pulls down his baseball cap

And covers up his eyes

Chorus

Too many hands on my time

Too many feelings

Too many things on my mind

When I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

When I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind...

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Ballad Of Spider John

Spider John is my name friend

I'm in between freights and I sure would be obliged

If you'd share your company

I know this may sound strange to you

But if you wait 'til the song is sung and the stories told

You might come to understand

Why I'm old and bent and devil's been runnin' out of time

When I long ago held a royal flush in my hand.



Oh, I was a super market fool, I was a roll-the-bank, a

stool pigeon,

Robbing my hometown

I thought I'd lost the blues, yes, I thought I'd paid my dues

I thought I'd found the life to suit my style



But here I sit ol' Spider John

The robber man

Long, tall and handsome

Yes, ol' Spider John with the loaded hand

Taking ransom



Then one day I met Diamond Lil

She was the sweetest thing, I declare,

That the summer breeze ever blown my way

But, lady, she had no idea my illustrious occupation

She thought I was a saint, not a sinner gone astray

But you see that word got around and Lily left town

Never saw her again

Tossin' and turnin', causin' my heart to grieve



Oh, I was a super market fool, I was roll-the-bank, stool pigeon

Robbing my hometown.

I thought I'd lost my blues, thought I'd paid my dues

I thought I'd found the life to suit my style.

But here I sit ol' Spider John,

The robber man

Long, tall and handsome

Yes, ol' Spider John with the loaded hand

Taking ransom



That is all my story

Been these thirty years since I took to the road

Find my precious jewel one

If you see my Lily, won't you give her my regards

Tell her ol' Spider got tangled

In the black web that he spun



You can tell her that ol' Spider got tangled

In the black web that he spun

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Green, Green Grass Of Home

(Claude Putman, Jr.)



The old home town looks the same,

As I step down from the train,

And there to meet me is my mama and papa

Down the road I look and there runs Mary

Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home



Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,

All creatures smiling sweetly

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home



The old house is still standing,

Though the paint is cracked and dry

And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on

Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary

Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home



Then I awake and look around me

Cold gray walls surround me

And I realize that I was only dreamin'

There's a guard and there's a sad old padre

Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak

Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home



Yes, they'll all be there to meet me

In the shadow of that old oak tree

As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

ROBERTA FLACK lyrics - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the end of the skies



And 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



And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last, till the end of time, my love



The first time ever I saw your face

Your face

Your face

Your face

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - On The Line

No sense pretending its over

Hard times just don't go away

You gotta take that chip off your shoulder

It's time you open up

Have some faith



Nothing good ever comes easy

All good things come in due time

Yes it does

You gotta have something to believe in

I'm telling you to open mind



Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

You've got to reach out and try

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

Gotta put it all on the line



You see yourself in the mirror

And you don't like what you see

And things aren't getting much clearer

Don't you think it's time you go for a change



Don't waste your time on the past, no, no

It's time you look to the future

It's all right there if you ask

This time if you try much harder

You'll be the best that could can be



Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

You've got to reach out and try

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right



If you wanna do it now

You gotta learn to try

You can make it right somehow

Let love come free

And that's just so easy now

You gotta go for what you want

You gotta do what you got to do



Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

You've got to reach out and try

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right



[Repeat and fade out]

BLONDIE lyrics - 11:59

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax

Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette

It's ten to ten and time is running out

Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we can run

Today can last another million years

Today could be the end of me

It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive



Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night

Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean

Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand

Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run



Today can last another million years

Today could be the end of me

It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive



Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire

Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control

Don't leave me here, time is running out

Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run



Today can last another million years

Today could be the end of me

It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

BOY GEORGE lyrics - The Deal

Black woman on the street with attitude

Spits through her teeth and stares at you

White boy with the living blues

Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube

Some days I feel removed

But all I can do is think of you

I feel like I am being used yeh yeh



Well you bruise me and you batter me

and you make me feel the twist

I try to convince myself

that im strong because of this

My friends say Im beautiful

But it's time to get real

I try to find some hatred

But I can't change the way I feel



And this murder happens all around my heals

But it aint real you are the deal

And theres poison flowing all around my head

And here I am all alone in bed



OId queen on the ship of fools

you're worried that it might sail for you

White lies from the broken youth

Who hasn't got the nerve to counsell you

Some days I feel amused

But all I can do is think of you

I feel like I've been such a fool yeh yeh



Well you bruise me and you batter me

and you make me feel like dirt

And just for one minute

I've forgotten what I'm worth

My friends say you're beautiful

But it's time I got real

Im staring at your picture

But I can't change the way I feel



And this murder happens all around my heals

But it aint real you are the deal

And this poisons flowing all around my head

And here I am filled with regret



Is it not enough

to just feel the love

and give it

why cant you give it

Is it not enough

to just feel the love

and live it

why cant you live it

why cant you give it

oh why cant you give it

why cant you give it

oh why cant you give it

You are the deal

You are the deal

You are the deal

You are the deal

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Margaritaville

Nibblin' on sponge cake,

watchin' the sun bake;

All of those tourists covered with oil.

Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.

Smell those shrimp

They're beginnin' to boil.



Wasted away again in Margaritaville,

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

But I know it's nobody's fault.



Don't know the reason,

Stayed here all season

With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.

But it's a real beauty,

A Mexican cutie, how it got here

I haven't a clue.



Wasted away again in Margaritaville,

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.



I blew out my flip flop,

Stepped on a pop top,

Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.

But there's booze in the blender,

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.



Wasted away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

But I know, it's my own damn fault.

Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame

And I know it's my own damn fault.

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - I Am Not Hiding

I was runnin' from Paradise

Busy dancin' across thin ice

Then lookin' up

I thought somebody called my name

But I kept on walkin' on down

On my own way



I was livin' but not enough

Turnin' my face

From the face of love

Then lookin' up

I'm certain I saw your eyes

And I don't know how

And I don't know why

But I know I'm home



[Chorus:]

I Am Not Hiding

This time I'm deciding

Now I'm showin' up

To give it all my love

I Am Not Hiding

Now I'm standing here

Shoutin' out to heaven

Runnin' no more



Freedom was overdue

I was starvin' for a dream

And the dream was you

Then lookin' up

Big love was pourin' down

'N I don't know how

'N I don't know why

But I know I'm home



[Chorus]



The dream of love was more

Than I could have

I'd almost given it up

But darlin' now it's back



I am here

You are real

This time I'm learnin' to feel

I have found

Paradise

Showin' up in your eyes



This is all I know

No more sad goodbyes

Kiss it all hello

I'm showin' up for my life



Oh, Love is what it's all about

You gotta go in

To get out



For once in my life

I've found my home

Home in your arms, darlin'

All I know is that I'm finally home

Strong enough to see the truth

You gotta go in

To get out

GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Nice Boys

She hit town like a rose in bloom

Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume

The color faded and the petals died

Down in the city, no one cried

In the streets, the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies

The roaches so big

You know that they got bones

They moved in and made a tenement home



I said nice boys

Don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

I'm not a nice boy!



Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean

Wanted so bad to be part of the scene

She met the man and she did the smack

Paid the price layin' flat on her back

Wanted so bad just to please the boys

They ended up just being a toy

Played so hard burned her life away

Lies were told no promises made



You know nice boys

Don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

I'm not a nice boy and I never was!



Young and fresh when she hit town

Hot for kicks just to get around

But now she lays in a filthy room

She kills the pain with

A flick and a spoon

And in the streets the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies

You know the roaches so big

You know that they got bones

Moved in and made a tenement home



Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

I bet you mama said

'Nice boys don't play rock and roll'

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys!

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Dance With Me

(M. Bolton/B. Mann/ G. Haase)



I walked in and she was standing there

By the bar in a red dress, I couldn't catch my breath

Her eyes, like fire, they reached into my heart

But my soul was her target, I didn't know it yet

I couldn't fight it, I felt my knees go weak

She barely had to speak



I don't really wanna dance with the devil

I admit it, she's a little too hot for me

I don't really wanna walk through the fire

The flame's getting higher

She's killing me when she says



Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby



She took my hand and led me down the stairs

To the floor where the music was worshipped by strangers

Her body moved in ways I've never seen

How's the face of an angel so filled with danger

I couldn't fight it, I couldn't take the heat

She barely haad to speak



I don't really wanna dance with the devil

I admit it, she's a little too hot for me

I don't really wanna walk through the fire

The flame's getting higher

She's killing me when she says



Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby



I don't really wanna fall tonight

But it feels so right when I know it's so wrong

I don't really wanna walk away

'Cause she's beggin' me to stay

And she's much too strong



I don't really wanna dance with the devil

I admit it, she's a little too hot for me

I don't really wanna walk through the fire

The flame's getting higher

She's killing me when she says



Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby





Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby

JOHN DENVER lyrics - If Ever

(Wonder/Andrews)



I'd sing you a song without a word, still you would hear my tune.

I'd give you a day without a time so it won't end too soon.

Oh, anything, I would do, and that really is my point of view,

if ever, my darling, in my life, I ever had a chance to love you.



I'd build you a world made of the dream that dances in your head.

Take a rainbow with colors bright to hang over your bed.

Anything, I would do, and that really is my point of view,

if ever, my darling, in my life, I ever had a chance to love you.



Fate's been waiting for the right time to put us in each other's arms,

but why should we sit and waste time? To start right now would do no harm.



Oh, give me a sign and I will show you the magic of which I speak.

Open your heart, let me come in. My love is yours to keep.

Oh, anything, I would do, and that really is my point of view,

if ever, my darling, in my life, I ever had a chance to love you.

If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you.

If I ever had a chance to love you. If I ever had a chance to love you:.

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - No Jestering

My Momma says that I must leave him alone.

But how can I do that

when I want him in my home?

He watched me change from boys to boys

and now I am his size.

So how can I forget him now

when I long to share his life?



Mommy, Mommy, he loves your daughter.

No jestering!

No one can make me leave him.

No jestering!



So you can tell me anything you want.

I'll never let him out of my sight.

Tell me how much he's not my type,

but someday I'm gonna be his wife.



Mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.

No, no jestering!

No one can make me leave him.

It's no. . .



La la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

You mustn't let the horse run away

before you're gonna close the door.

And all my life I watched him grow.

Each day I love him more and more.



Oh, mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.

No, no jestering!

No one can make me leave him.

It's no. . .



La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la.



So tell me anything you want.

I'll never let him out of my sight.

Tell me how much I'm not his type.

One day I'm gonna be his wife.



Oh, mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.

No, no jestering!

No one can make me leave him.

It's no. . .



Mommy he loves me.

mommy release me.

He don't want to hurt me.

He just wants to please me.

Mommy forgive me.

Don't you worry.

My heart is on fire and I'm in a hurry.



La la la la la la la la la la la,

la la la la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la la la la la la,

la la la la la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la la la la la la,

la la la la la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la la la la la la,

la la la la la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la,

la la la la la la la la la la.

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Say It Again

(Ed Welch)



One day I was walking home, I was thinking of her

Sure felt lost but she told me some things of which I wasn't aware

She told me she'd be kind of shy until I opened up her life

Now that she feels the way that I want her too - Whoa oh oh



[Chorus:]

Say it again,

Say you love me again

Baby say it again

I've heard it before but I'll hear it some more

So I'm waiting for when you'll say

Say it again

Say you love me again

Baby say it again

So if I'm away, don't forget what I say

Baby say it again and again and again



The first dates weren't how I imagined how loving should be

I told her just to wait to see if her love brought her closer to me

And when I got to look around I realized what I found

Now that she says the things that I want her to - Whoa oh oh



[Chorus]
