LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - When You Wish Upon A Star
(Ned Washington and Leigh Harline)
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Like dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
ZUCCHERO lyrics - Baila (Sexy Thing)
Adesso credo nei miracoli
In questa notte di tequila boom boom
Sei cosa sexy cosa, sexy thing, ... ormai
Ti ho messo gli occhi addosso... e lo sai
Che devi avere un caos dentro di te
x far fiorire una stella che balla
Inferno e paradiso dentro di te
La luna e un sole guarda come brilla
Baby the night is on fire
Siamo fiamme nel cielo
Lampi in mezzo al buio... what you say
Baila, baila morena
Sotto questa luna piena
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
Vai chica vai cocca che mi sa cocca
Che questa sera qualche cosa ti tocca
Ho un cuore d'oro sai il cuore di un santo
x cosi poco me la merito tanto
Baby the night is on fire
Siamo fiamme nel cielo
Scandalo nel buio... what you say
Baila, baila morena
Sotto questa luna piena
Under the moonlight
Baila, under the moonlight
Sotto questa luna piena
Baila morena... yeah yeah yeah
You got me hurtin' so bad, so bad
I got to have it, so bad
What you say
Baila, baila morena
Sotto questa luna piena
Under the moonlight
E daila, under the moonlight
Sotto questa luna piena
Daila morena
Sotto questa luna piena
Sotto questa luna piena
Sotto questa luna piena
Under the moonlight
Thanks to "Nietzsche... che dice!"
FRANKIE VALLI lyrics - Grease
I solve my problems and I see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go to far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, it's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what feel
Grease is the word
(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionalitly belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now
That we can be who we are
Grease is the word
(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling
This is the life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble (trouble), laced with confusion
(What are we doing here)
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
(Greese is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Now grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got a meaning
(Got a groove, got a meaning)
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Now grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
DORO PESCH lyrics - White Wedding
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Take me back home, yeah
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there is nothin' sure in this world
And there is nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

PRINCE lyrics - The Work Pt. 1
Every time I watch the other people news
I c a false picture of myself, another one of u
They try 2 tell us what we want, what 2 believe
Didn't that happen in the Garden
When somebody spoke to Eve?
But I'm willing 2 do The Work
Willing 2 do what I gotta do
I'm willing 2 do The Work
Tell me now - what about u?
Look around and tell me ur Sun is Risen
When ur brothers and sisters r in the Fall
What is left give when r work is done?
What do we own besides the right 2 crawl?
C we're living in a system that the devil designed
And suffering from this devil's most heinous crime
He's tried 2 keep us from the reason we were born
That is 2 b the living truth in human 4m.
But I'm willing 2 do The Work
Willing 2 do what I gotta do
I'm willing 2 do The Work
Tell me now - what about u?
This work is not an easy task
But this is the work we must do 4 Revelation2 come 2 pass
This work is the kind that turns ur back on the Ruling Class
By putting them in their place just like the past
Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet?
Gotta lotta work 2 do
Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet?
Gotta lotta work 2 do
Nothing can stop us/Whatever's in r way
We got 2 go thru it 2 get 2 it
I head somebody say,
"I'm willing 2 do The Work
Do what I gotta do
I'm willing 2 do The Work
Tell me now - what about u?"
Thank u
From all over, the people came 2 do The Work. And with every phase of the
deconstruction the Everlasting Now became evermore reality. Everywhere the
people were witnessing a change, but the alchemy occurred most in the Muse.
SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Out Of Sight Out Of Mind
Love comes very easy and slips easy away
If you gotta go for a long, long time
Your baby promised you'll be on his mind
Don't be surprised if it turns out wrong
[Refrain:]
Out of sight, out of mind
That's what happened a million times
Out of sight, out of mind
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Refrain]
Love has many faces and shows them all
When you have to kiss your baby goodbye
There is a presentiment you can't deny
Will he come back, yes or no
[Refrain]
That's what happened a million times
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Refrain]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
MINOR THREAT lyrics - No Reason
So you hate me
That's the way it goes
What the fuck?
I guess I'll never know
If it makes you feel better,
Then I guess it's just as good
You know I'll never accept it,
'Cause I never thought you could
Sit in the same room
We look the other way
Fuck conversation
We've got nothing to say
I'm sure we both hate to be ignored
Haven't we met someplace before?
What's the problem?
Is it justified?
Or are we dealing
With our fucking pride?
Do you really want to leave it alone?
I don't know what it's worth to you,
It's all I fucking own
Haven't we met before?
GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - The Way Things Used To Be
I look at your face and I see it's red
You got a lot on your plate that is in your head
You think that money's ok but it ought to grow on trees
And when I say why don't you plant a coin
You say I'm being sarcastic and that you're goin'
See how a silly remark can cause a lot of tears
And people don't know what we're going through
They think if nothing is right it can't be true
They have an image of us that only they can see
The way things used to be
I look at your heart and I see it's gone
There's nothing beating Inside not even a drum
It doesn't matter I dare-say as long as you can breathe
And when I say is that beef wellington
You say I've told you goddamnit bourgignon
See how a silly mistake can cause a lot of grief
And like It or not it's a sad affair
We never talk anymore go out anywhere
It's like a different world to the one of you and me
The way things used to be
The way things used to be
Not so long ago
When we were young and free
The way things used to be
Not so long ago
You were loving me
Every night and every day strong in every way
Passion glowing like a fire burning with desire
Whatever happened
I look at your face and I see it's long
You've got one hell of a cheek saying nothing's wrong
You think I like it when friends are reluctant to appear
And when I say why don't you tell me straight
You say I'm losing my temper and that you hate
See how an over-reaction causes so much fear
And when I get home after being away
You know I've only one thought for the coming day
I wish that in between fighting we could stop and see
The way things used to be
CHARLIE DANIELS BAND lyrics - The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
Johnny rosin up your bow
And play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals the cards
And if you win
You get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
[Instrumental Interlude]
When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done
Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no
[Instrumental Interlude]
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
'Cause I told you once you son of a gun
I'm the best that's ever been
He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny will your dog bite
No child, no

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Two Cheers Instead Of Three
[Verse:]
It's smart to be thrifty when times are so bad
Let's be patriotic, but let's not go mad
We must cheer the colors we prize
So here's what I strongly advise
[Refrain:]
We'll just have two cheers instead of three
For the land of the brave and the free
Instead of three cheers, we'll just have two
For the red and the white and the blue
So when we cheer the stars and stripes here's what we'll do
We'll cheer the red and cheer the white but not the blue
And just have two cheers instead of three
For the land of the brave and the free
[Patter:]
Why give them three cheers when two will more than do?
If there must be cheers then let there just be two
And the speeches that you make to Uncle Sam
Cut 'em down to "Unaccustomed as I am..."
GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Tres Deseos (Three Wishes)
Que lindos los arreboles
Cuando el sol se va poniendo
Que buenos son los amores
Cuando se llevan por dentro
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se van los nubarrones
Ya llegan los buenos tiempos
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se alejan los dolores
Y se alegra el sentimiento
Que ya se prendio la fiesta
Que ya se apago el hastio
Que ya el corazon se alegra
Prque tengo el amor mio
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se van los nubarrones
Ya llegan los buenos tiempos
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se alejan los dolores
Y se alegra el sentimiento
Que y viene el ano nuevo
La fiesta ya esta caliente
Concedeme tres deseos
Estrellita del oriente
Concedeme tres deseos
Estrellita del oriente
Por dentro ya se despierta
La dulzura del carino
Ya la vida abre sus puertas
Y en el alma no hace frio
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se van los nubarrones
Ya llegan los buenos tiempos
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se alejan los dolores
Y se alegra el sentimiento
Que el campo esta floreciendo
Y el trigo ya esta maduro
Que la flor del ano nuevo
Ya esta abriendo su capullo
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se van los nubarrones
Ya llegan los buenos tiempos
Ay, si, corazon
Ya se alejan los dolores
Y se alegra el sentimiento
Que y viene el ano nuevo
La fiesta ya esta caliente
Concedeme tres deseos
Estrellita del oriente
Concedeme tres deseos
Estrellita del oriente
Que los suenos se vuelvan realidad
Un futuro de prosperidad
Que florezca un mundo mejor
Que haya paz en el corazon

ANNIE LENNOX lyrics - Lost
This is the sound of the planes in the night
Coming out of the darkness
And into the light
Shining alarmingly
Curiously bright
This is the sound of those murderous drums
The marching of footsteps
The twisting of thumbs
Over and over
Again here it comes
We're lost
(baby come again don't let me fall)
We're lost
(baby come again despite it all)
Were lost
(baby come)
(baby come)
Tell me the story
'bout when you were young
I want to hear it again
Leave in the part
Where the hero gets stung
I want to savour it
I want to play it again
This is the sound of a baby's first breath
The dying of footsteps
The touching of flesh
To hold in your memory
To keep by your chest
We're lost
So lost
Lost
GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - When We Was Fab
Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love
And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me
Fab
And You've Really Got A Hold Me
fab - long time ago when we was fab
DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Mimi's Song
[Spoken:]
You know tonight is a very important night
For me for a number of reasons
My little girl is here tonight
And I don't think you understand
What it's like being the daughter of
Someone who's always gone
It's kind of scary and it's kind of lonely
And I guess she thinks to herself sometimes
"Is mummy ever going ever gonna come home?"
And so my daughter looked up at me
Last week and she said "mummy
When are you just gonna stay home
One day and be with me"?
And so it kinda struck me funny
And I didn't realize that I hadn't spent
Anytime with her for a long time
So I sat down and wrote down this song
After she went to bed
And I told her tonight when it was bedtime
I would sing her son
I bet you ask yourself
Why I'm never there
It's not because I like being away
You see I've made a spectacle of myself
And it seems that the whole world needs me
I understand when you cry alone
And mama's not there to wipe your eyes
You see it's only because
I'm out being someone to make you cry
I got a little letter
And I read it on the plane
And in my heart I felt a funny kind of pain
I wish that I could be there
To touch your face again
Mimi you're beautiful
Mimi you're mine
And other things that I do in my life
Seem to take up all your precious time
There's so much I long to say
So much more I long to do
But I guess it's all just have to wait
Till I can get to see you
Mimi you're mine
Oh, Mimi you're mine
Oh, Mimi you fill my life
You fill my life with so much love
Cause you're beautiful
And you love me
And you'll understand
Mimi it's bedtime say Goodnight
"Goodnight"
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Black Betty
Look-a look-a yonder [3x]

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Trudy And Dave
Whatever you don't follow that shot, she rang those words out with all she got
With a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet, well he thought about following anyway
But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,
In his three day beard and his red man hat
Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans, while that baby just sat there lookin' mean
[Chorus:]
Trudy and Dave
They're out of their minds
Trudy and Dave
They're out of their minds
Well David put a match to a Lucky Strike
And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,
It made him feel a little mysterious
'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"
So he thought about them and those shots ringing out
And other things he shouldn't be thinking about
Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean
And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean
[Chorus]
Didn't mean to do it baby, but I did it for love
The same shot his Daddy heard before him
A shot that can really blow you away
And when it is fired his mama told him
" David, you'll follow it to your grave"
Well Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids
Had a baby of their own and you heard what they did
In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out
Shots heard all over the world no doubt
'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day
'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet
Who shot up an automatic teller machine
Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean
[Chorus]
B. B. KING lyrics - Make Love To Me
Take me in your arms
And never let me go
Whisper to me softly
While the moon is low
Hold me close and tell me
What I wanna know
Say it to me gently
Let the sweet talk flow
Come a little closer
Make love to me
Kiss me once again
Before we say goodnight
Take me in your loving arms
And squeeze me tight
Put me in a mood
So I can dream all night
Everybody's sleeping
So it's quite all right
Come a little closer
Make love to me
When you're near
So help me, dear
Chills run
Up and down my spine
Don't you know
I love you so
I won't be happy
Till you're mine
When I'm in your arms
You give my heart a treat
Everything about you
So doggone sweet
Every time we kiss
You make my life complete
Baby don't you know
You swept me off my feet
Now's it's time to tell you
Make love to me
When you're near
So help me, dear
Chills run
Up and down my spine
Don't you know
I love you so
I won't be happy
Till you're mine
When I'm in your arms
You give my heart a treat
Everything about you
So doggone sweet
Every time we kiss
You make my life complete
Baby don't you know
You swept me off my feet
Now's it's time to tell you
Make love to me
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Here Comes The Knight
On the road with my sword
And my shield in my hand
Pressing on to the new day
This love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
In the valley I see horsemen pass
Baby, baby, baby they don't want this love to last
There's a battle for the throne
And it's raging down in your soul
It says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
Bridge:
I've been accused of truth and alchemy
I've been accused of speaking out for freedom too
I gave a demonstration in front of a crowd
A man saw my hands move and he began to shout
Here come horsemen through the pass
They say cast a cold eye on life, on death
There's a battle for the throne
And it means to thine own self be true
And it says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear
Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Love Me Again
(Vince Gill)
Whoa she... was my first lover
Whoa and she... helped me to discover
All the little things I never knew existed
She gave her love so freely and never resisted
Promise you will... love me again
Promise you will... love me again
Whoa she... made love to me so right
Whoa and she... held on to me all night
I wonder if she knows how much I really need her
I hope it's not the last time that I'll ever see her
So promise you will... love me again
Promise you will... love me again
So promise you will... love me again
Promise you will... love me again
Promise you will... love me again
Promise you will... love me again

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Create Me
Days break, nights fall
And I wait alone
I sleep behind a wall
My silent call unknown
Create me
Create me
Take me in your hands and shape me
Wake me from this sleep to then begin again
To live again
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall
Each one the same
I wait behind a wall
To hear you call my name
Create me
Create me
Breathe your life into my soul
And know the greatest story told
Is you and I and how we tried
And how we won and what You've done
Creating me
How many seasons have we endured?
How many fields yet to plow?
Know that my destiny is tied to yours
Just need to trust me; our destiny is now
Create me
Lift me up and give a meaning
To a dream that I've been dreaming, endlessly
It comforts me to see you there
There you are; we've come so far
How many seasons have we endured?
How many fields yet to plow?
Know that my destiny is tied to yours
Just need to trust me; our destiny is now
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall
I dream alone
LEONARD COHEN lyrics - Leaving Green Sleeves
Alas, my love, you did me wrong,
to cast me out discourteously,
for I have loved you so long,
delighting in your very company.
Now if you intend to show me disdain,
don't you know it all the more enraptures me,
for even so I still remain your lover in captivity.
Green sleeves, you're all alone,
the leaves have fallen, the men have gone.
Green sleeves, there's no one home,
not even the Lady Green Sleeves
I sang my songs, I told my lies,
to lie between your matchless thighs.
And ain't it fine, ain't it wild
to finally end our exercise
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn,
oh, I hoped you would be someone new.
I reached for you but you were gone,
so lady I'm going too.
Green sleeves, you're all alone...
Green sleeves, you're all alone,
the leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home.
Green sleeves, it's so easily done,
leaving the Lady Green Sleeves.
TACO lyrics - Puttin' On The Ritz
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day coat pants with stripes
And cutaway coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk
With sticks or um-ber-ellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats, and arrow collars
White spats, and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day coat pants with stripes
And cutaway coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk
With sticks or um-ber-ellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
(Down-town, up-town, get your kicks at the Ritz)
(Dine 'n' wine, but not 'til nine)
The time is right for us to tonight)
(We can move, move to the rhythm, we can)
(Move, dance to the rhythm, nice and easy)
(I wantcha to move)
(Put it on, puttin' it on, puttin' it on)
(Puttin' it on the R - I - T - Z)
(How 'bout you and me, says)
(Gotta dance)
(Gotta dance)
(If you're blue and you don't know where to go to)
(Why don't you go where fashion sits)
(Puttin' on the Ritz...)
AMERICA lyrics - Muskrat Love
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da...
CHER lyrics - Fires Of Eden
It's not over til it's over
I heard someone say
Must be a whisper in the wind
'Cause you're too far away
But in my restless sleep
I could swear I saw you next to me
Saying, oh I'm coming home
Yuou'll never spend another night alone
[Chorus:]
Remember when love was innocent
There was never a better time
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
The morning's uncertain
It's a nervous day
And I look for a reason
Why I should feel this way
I hear a voice run before
Drifting through my open door
Saying it's alright
We're going to light those flames tonight
[Chorus]
and don't you wonder
How we drifted so far
When we belong to each other
We were miles apart
And there's a place
That was meant for the two of us
And when you touch the embers
You feel my love
As strong as it ever was
[Chorus]

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Brahms' Lullaby
(Johannes Brahms)
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes
Start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - He's Gone
Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb, you know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said, Steal your face right off your head.
Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!
Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.
Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back.

METALLICA lyrics - Enter Sandman
(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
BEACH BOYS lyrics - Kiss Me Baby
(Brian Wilson)
Please don't let me argue anymore
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late late last night we said it was over
But I remember when we thought it out
We both had a broken heart
Woah Baby
(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
As I drove away I felt a tear
It hit me I was losing someone dear
Told my folks I would be alright
Tossed and I turned, my head was so heavy
Then I wondered as it got light
Were you still awake like me?
Woah Baby
(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Tight
Woah Baby
(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Freedom For The Stallion
(Toussaint)
Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote.
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
They've made money "God"
It's a doggone sin,
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
Big ship's a-sailing, slaves all chained and bound,
Heading for a brand new land that some cat said he upped and found.
Lord, have mercy, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you?
They got men making laws that destroy other men,
They've made money "God"
It's a doggone sin.
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
Some sing a sad song
Some got to moan the blues
Trying to make the best of a home
That the man didn't even get to choose
Lord, have mercy, how you gonna be with people like John and me
They've got men building fences to keep other men out
Ignore him if he whispers and kill him if he shouts
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way
Oh, Lord, you got to help them find the way
Oh, Lord, you got to help us find the way.
JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - My Cat's Name Is Maceo (Edit)(Demo Version)
My cat's name is Maceo
He's a little man in a cats body
He yawns just like I do
He's convinced I won't eat him
I think he thinks that I'm his dad
Because I saved him from the pound
Well we went down
Down to the pound and that's where we saw Maceo
Cat catcher said to me
"pick one out"
Maceo said
"let me out"
He sleeps right where I do and we wrestle in the morning!
He come to you if you don't bother him
He just likes to do his own thing
My cat's name is Maceo
He's a little man in a cat's body

EDDIE FISHER lyrics - I Need You Now
(Jimmie Crane and Al Jacobs)
If I ever needed you, I need you now
I can't remember when I've ever been so blue
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do
No day or night goes by
When I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart but you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now
[Musical Interlude]
If I ever needed love, I need it now
I feel so all alone I don't know what to do
No day or night goes by
When I don't have my cry
I feel like I could die from wanting you
I can ease my achin' heart
Honey, you'd know how
If I ever needed you, I need you now
JOE COCKER lyrics - Love Don't Live Here Any More
(Miles Gregory)
You abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see
Love don't live here any more
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing in the world you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
Then you changed and went away
And you abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see that
Love don't live here any more
Any more
Love don't live here any more
Just emptiness and memories over what we had before
Why did you have to go away
Find another place to stay
You abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see
Love don't live here any more
Yeah
Through the windows in my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me
Don't you know I need you so
Why did you have to go
And abandon me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see that
Love don't live here any more
Yeah, don't live here any more
Love don't live here, don't live here any more
Any more
You went away and left me
Now love don't live here any more
Any more
Love don't live here any more
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)
(Uh...Ah...Uh...Please shake me baby!)
All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking
(He don't love 'er)
Sayin' right out of my life
Into another's arms
He'll soon be walkin'
(Soon be walkin')
Somebody shake me (Shake me)
Wake me (Wake me)
When it's over (When it's over)
Somebody tell me (Tell me)
Am I dreaming? (Dreaming)
When it's over (When it's over)
They say our love ain't
What it used to be
And everyone knows but me
I close my eyes not wanting to hear
But the words are loud and clear
(Ah ah ah ah!)
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said don't love 'er
(He don't love 'er)
They say my heart's in danger
Cause you're leaving me
For the love of a stranger
(Love of a stranger)
Somebody shake me (Shake me)
Wake me (Wake me)
When it's over (When it's over)
Somebody tell me (Tell me)
Am I dreaming? (Dreaming)
When it's over (When it's over)
You're just what my heart desires
My whole world you inspire
I can't bear I think I'm losing you
Cause I've loved you my whole life through
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They said he don't love 'er
(He don't love 'er)
Oh no!
They say my heart's in danger
Cause you're leaving me
For the love of a stranger
(Love of a stranger)
Somebody shake me (Wake me)
Oh Shake me(Wake me)
Shake me (Shake me) Shake me (Shake me)
Shake me (Shake me)
Oh somebody Wake me)
When it's over (When it's over)
Somebody tell me (Tell me)
Am I dreaming? (Dreaming)
When it's over (When it's over)
Somebody wake me(Shake me)
Wake me shake me(Shake me)
Wake me shake me(Wake me)
When it's over (When it's over)
(Wake me shake me)
Shake me somebody
Tell me that I'm dreaming...
MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Airwaves
Are you ready? Say you'll let me
Take you for a ride
The night is young, it's just begun
Why don't you step inside
Get ready, get ready
We'll leave this place behind
You'll feel the airwaves answer
Every question in your mind
With every moment passing by
Who's got the time to wonder why
It's taken eternity
[Chorus:]
Airwaves(come and ride the airwaves)
Airwaves(tell me how you feel)
Airwaves(come and ride the airwaves)
It's alright, it's alright
You'll remember
Oh, yeah
There is a place where time and space
Will open every door
Revealing things beyond the dreams
We've ever known before
With every moment passing by
Who's got the time to wonder why
It's taking eternity
[Chorus]
Oh it's alright
Airwaves
Airwaves

ICE CUBE lyrics - All The Critics In New York
[Mack 10 talking:]
Goddamn! New York City!
Skyscrapers and everything!
[Ice Cube:]
Back in the day, we used to respect y'all niggas
We used to be down with y'all niggas
All you have for the West Coast, is criticism and disrespect
So I say to you and your city
Y'all niggas will never get our respect again
Westside nigga (Keeping it real)
Yeah! (Keeping it real)
[All:]
WESTSIIIIIDE!
Is Brooklyn in the house?!? (Check it out)
What about Queens in the house?!? (INGLEWOOOOD!!!)
Manhattan in the house?!? (South Central)
Long Island in the house?!? (Check it out)
Is the Bronx in the house?!? (Waddup)
Staten Island in the house?!? (Woop woop)
The West Coast is in the house sayin
Why you talkin loud?!?
What you talkin bout?!?
[Ice Cube:]
Fuck all the critics in the N-Y-C
Who wants to rock the microphone after me?
Think of who you are and who you be
My energy holds it down like the NFC
I'm going thorough thru your borough
Wit my Raider jacket and my jheri curl, gangstas rule the world
On the west, nevertheless, W-S
We got the bomb and you niggas got the stress
[Mack 10:]
You couldn't have said it no better homeboy
With my automatic toy, I kill and destroy
These buster ass critics from the N-Y-C
Don't they know that I be from the I-N-G
My peeps play for keeps, deep crews pay dues
By murder ones and twos, rip riders and Damus
Choose to stay gangsta, you never ever ran us
We bustin clips like bananas, sportin colored bandanas
[WC:]
It's the Mister hoodsta, cap peeler
Dusty ass New York critic killer
Dumping and pumping the motherfuckin lead in their chest
Because ain't none of them niggas ever gave it up for the West
So now it's on and, the gauge in my pants got me limpin
Fuck U-N-I-T-Y, I'm coast trippin
Saggin as a Pelle, smashin tape recorders
This is 187 on a New York reporter
"New York, New York"
"New York, New York"
"New York, New York"
"New York, New York"
[Ice Cube:]
Fuck all the critics in the N-Y-C
Tryin to get an East hip-hop monopoly
But I've been writing gangsta shit since '83
When y'all was still scared to use profanity
Now everybody wanna run and go and get triggers
And blame it on these West Coast seven-figure niggas
Just because we made it real niggas got to deal
I hope blood ain't got to spill, I kill
[Mack 10:]
It's like the battle of the sexes
You wanna treat us like bitches cos we're platinum when we flex this
With mic in hand, fans in the stands
We make a mill-ion from California to Japan, bitch
Went overseas, seen D's how we done it
88's to 100's to let me know who really run it
This West Coast gangsta shit got it crackin, or we jackin
Packin nina's and sellin out arenas, niggas
[WC:]
You make me wanna holler, throw up both my Dubs
And roll these niggas up, I got to beat em
When I see me, T-Roller cut off his scrotum
Leave em bleedin in particles for them biases articles
I'm mashin and blastin so get the casket
I bet you after this I get a fuckin hip-hop classic
I'm banning you niggas from the scene
Kickin over newstands, pouring gasoline on your magazines
[Ice Cube:]
To the West my niggas, to the West
To the West my niggas, to the West
To the West my niggas, to the West
We the best my niggas don't stress
Fuck all the critics in the N-Y-C
And your articles tryin to rate my LP
Fuck your backpacks and your wack ass raps
Sayin we ain't real because we make snaps
Sellin 6-fo's to the dab, what you lookin at?
With your Brooklyn hat and your pen and pad, nigga
I got a pocket full of green busting at the seams
Fuck your baggy jeans, fuck your magazines
[Mack 10:]
Hey hey hey, what's happenin round tre?
It's still M-Y critic K on mines all motherfuckin day
It's a trip the script flipped from when you niggas was bossin
Got to flossin, fell off, and got the nail in the coffin
Who wanna regret, fuckin with my set
I be a 24-year street Westside Connect vet
You niggas better watch how you greet us when you meet us
We packin heaters and the only way you beat us is cheat us
[WC:]
AIIIIYO!!! Nigga fuck that shit
I gotta, kill it kill it, fuck a New York critic
He write about how I lived it, did it, plus I'm still with it
Puttin it down on all these DJs, hate, fakin and flakin
Never once played my record on their radio station
No love for a New York critic or disc jock
Matter of fact I'm blamin all y'all for fuckin up hip-hop
[All]
Is Brooklyn in the house?!? (Check it out)
What about Queens in the house?!? (WESTSIIIIIIIDE!!!)
Manhattan in the house?!? (And it don't stop)
Long Island in the house?!? (YEAH! YEAH! Check it out)
Is the Bronx in the house?!?
Staten Island in the house?!? (Say what say what??)
The West Coast is in the house sayin (Yeah)
Why you talkin loud?!?

[Ice Cube:]
Why talkin loud?!?

Y'all ain't acquantin and barkin on hip-hop
This Westside Connection
WESTSIIIIDE!!!
STING lyrics - Forget About The Future
I know we got some history
We got some issues that we need to solve
But is it really such a mystery?
It's just the way that the world evolves
Let me ask your forgiveness baby
My heart is ever full of sorrow
We got to move into the future maybe
And think about a new tomorrow
She said you know I used to love you baby
But you're thinking way too fast
So forget about the future
And let's get on with the past
So they called a 'nited nations summit
To negotiate for peace on earth
And it may be idealistic baby
But I know what peace of mind is worth
Everybody aired their grievances
And they threw away the suture
They opened up all the wounds of the past
As they failed to find their way to the future
They said we'd better check the weather chart
Before we tie our colors to this mast
It's just too hard thinking about the future baby
So let's just get on with the past
She said we'd better check the horoscope honey
Just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last
It's just too hard thinking about the future
So let's just get on with the past
How many times you ever hear me say
I'm as flawed as any other human being?
There simply has to be a different way
And a whole new way of seeing
Are we doomed by all our history?
Is our love really beyond repair?
It's getting close to midnight baby
And we ain't got time to spare
Just when I think I'm home and dry
And she's given up the fight
There's an unmistakable optimism
In romantic music and candlelight
There's this lingering perfume
The merest ghost of the past
She says wait a minute baby
You're moving way too fast
We'd better check the weather chart
Before we raise this mast
We'd best consult our horoscope
In case this feeling wasn't meant to last
Let's just forget about the future
And get on with the past
WHITESNAKE lyrics - Love Man
(David Coverdale)
I've spent close on sixteen years
Watching your pretty flower grow
Little girl, little girl, now tell me
Everything you know
About the oceans and the skies,
The mountains and the trees,
And then I'm tell you about
The birds and the honey bees
'Cos I'm a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can
I just love to tease,
I would do anything to please you, baby
Sweet little angel, give me your hand,
Feel for my heartbeat, baby,
Then you'll understand
About the bees and the honey,
The bluebirds in the trees,
And you'd know, just to get close to you
I would get down on my knees
I am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man That's what I am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can
I could love to squeeze,
I would do anything to please you, baby
Baby, I am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man That's what I am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man,
Doing all I can
I just love to tease,
I would get down on my knees
So come a little closer,
Let me whisper in your ear
How the good Lord in His Wisdom
Made you so, and put you here
He played a little game
Called The Apple and the Snake,
When the lady took her first sweet bite
The Snake made no mistake
He was a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I am a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can,
'Cos a love man needs his loving everyday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am a love man
L. A. GUNS lyrics - Little St. Nick
[Beach Boys Cover]
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo
Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Whoaa
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
He don't miss no one
And haulin' through the snow at a frightenin' speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
THE DOORS lyrics - Build Me A Woman
Give me a witness, darling.
I need a witness, babe.
I got the poontang blues. I got the poontang blues.
From the top of my head to the bottom of my cowboy shoes.
Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
You got to build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her worthless,
Don't make her small.
Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
You got to build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Don't make her worthless,
Don't make her small.
Build me someone I can ball
All night long.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Certain People I Could Name
The few surviving samurai survey the battlefield
Count the arms, the legs and heads and then divide by 5
Drenched in blood they move across the screen
Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean
The one in back, the way he acts
Is he reminding you of anyone we know
Isn't he so like certain people I could name
Halfway through the thirty minutes
Halfway round the world
Here's the story on the genocidal overlord
In the palace with her epilettes
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette
Look at her, you must see it too
Is she reminding you of anyone we know
Isn't she so like certain people I could name
Disembodied and detached a voice describes the scene
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV
Music underscores the tragedy
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey
Who is it like, doesn't it strike
You as the very image of someone we know
Isn't it so like certain people--how could anybody miss
The obvious and the uncanny and the clear resemblance
Isn't it just like certain people I could name
DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Sorrow
With your long blonde hair
and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
was sorrow
Sorrow
You acted funny trying
to spend my money
You're out there playing your high class games of sorrow
Sorrow
You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me
you're a Devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ahhhh, ah, ahhhh
I tried to find her
'Cause I can't resist her
(I tried to find her)
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow
Sorrow
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
Sorrow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
With your long blonde hair
I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair
JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Here Come The Tears
Once I dreamed that love would come and sweep me up away
Now it seems life's passed me by, I'm still alone today
Here come the tears
Looks like it'll always be the same
No one here to comfort me
Here come the tears
All alone, no one cares.
So much to give to you all out there.
Take me now, in your arms.
Let me rest, safe from harm.
Ohhh I want to be loved
I need to be loved
Won't somebody love me
Here they come, here come the tears
Here they come, here come the tears...
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Big Chimney
(Richard Thompson)
All of my life I feed the big chimney
Coke and ore, I pour it in
Food for the hungry mouth of the monster
Got to keep the production rolling
Black ore, brown ore and Santander
Pour that Blue Billy onto the bell
Eighteen hundredweight on the barrow
Lift that ore and push like hell
Pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Drive the steel bar into the taphole
Pour the metal down into the sows
Blasted one side, frozen the other side
Rain and snow and sleet and blow
Taller than the church's steeple
Forever the big chimney owns my soul
I'm midwife to a pig of iron
Born of flame and sweat and coal
Pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
All of my life I feed the big chimney
Coke and ore, I pour it in
Food for the hungry mouth of the monster
Got to keep the production rolling
Pig iron, pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron, pig iron
Making pig iron, pig iron, pig iron, pig iron

RAINBOW lyrics - Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll
in a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll
If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air
Long live Rock and Roll
Long live Rock 'n' Roll
Long live Rock and Roll
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Forever Young
(B. Dylan)
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Paper In Fire
She had a dream
And boy it was a good one
So she chased after her dream
With much desire
But when she got too close
To her expectations
Well the dream burned up
Like paper in fire
[Chorus:]
Paper in fire
Stinkin' up the ashtrays
Paper in fire
Smokin' up the alleyways
Who's to say the way
A man should spend his days
Do you let them smolder
Like paper in fire
He wanted love
With no invovlement
So he chased the wind
That's all his silly life required
And the days of vanity
Went on forever
And he saw his days burn up
Like paper in fire
[Chorus]
There is a good life
Right across the green field
And each generation
Stares at it from afar
But we keep no check
On our appetites
So the green fields turn to brown
Like paper in fire
[Chorus]

MARILLION lyrics - Hope For The Future
(Helmer/Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)
I've been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a Rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangman's hands
Surer than the hangman's rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Message of hope
I found a power on a dusty shelf
Hey! the languages I learned
Now I'm so powerful I hurt myself
I hurt myself
I feel kind of limbic brain
Like the library of an astronaut
Found hidden in a pyramid
Shadowing a body of thought
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Message of hope
Madam I'm Adam, I'm a palindrome
Never odd or even any time
Fishin' and smilin' like a garden gnome
Twisting tales and spinning lines
Why don't we twist like we did last year?
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Message of hope
IGGY POP lyrics - Afraid To Get Close
Watching the cat sleep on my pillows
Afraid to get close to anyone and afraid not to
The need of all creatures to be warmed and touched
The girls who want dads
I think the writing is eating up myself
Preventing any togetherness with anyone
Hurting and recycling people over and over again
How much longer?
How many more?
I held her in my arms and I didn't want to realize
She was putting her life in my hands
JEFF BECK lyrics - Baby Blue
Well, I've got a brand new lover
I love her, yes I do
She's my one and only
And her name is Baby Blue
Well now, baby, baby, baby
Baby, Baby Blue, Yeah
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, Baby Blue-ooh
Well now, when I met my baby
I say, How to do you do
She looked into my eyes and say
My name is Baby Blue.
Well now, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, Baby Blue O-Ohhh
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, Baby Blue
(Now, now, now, now)
(Solo, background repeats baby, baby....ahhhs)
Well, I know my baby loves me
I know that she'll be true
I'm sure of this each time I look
Into her eyes of blue
Well now, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, Baby Blue Yeah
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, Baby Blue
BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Looking From The Outside
There is something that I can see
Every time that you talk to me
And it feels like I'm gonna be
Looking from the outside
There is something I've got to say
And it's making me feel this way
Does it mean that I'm gonna stay
Looking from the outside
I might as well fall
I might as well drift away
I might as well fall
It seems there is no other way
Looking from the outside
Looking from the outside
Looking for the inside of you
If I say that I like your song
Will you say that you played it wrong
Or that maybe I stayed too long
Looking from the outside
If I say that you're out of line
Will you say that I'm wasting time
'Cos it's making me feel that I'm
Looking from the outside
I might as well fall
I might as well drift away
I might as well fall
It seems there is no other way
Looking from the outside
Looking from the outside
Looking for the inside of you

ISAAC HAYES 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 endless skies, my love
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
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - It's A Crime Of The Heart
When I think about love
Honey, you always
come across my mind
Is it the way that you hold me
Or the way that
you told me love is blind
Well, it's a crime of the heart
These things I'm
thinking to myself
But I can't forget you, babe
Just can't seem to
think of nothing else.
Got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
They think the Lord of me
Now I'm standing
at the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.
Well, I heard that song
Says girls just wanna have fun
Well, I guess I
bought my ticket, honey
'Cause it feels as if
the ride has just begun
Well, there's two kinds of love
One is wrong and one is right
But I can't forget you baby
Can't forget
the way you hold me tight.
I got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
They think the Lord of me
Well, I'm standing
at the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.
When I think about women
Honey, you always
come across my mind
Is it the way that you told me
The way you told me love is blind
Well, it's a crime of the heart
These things I'm
thinking to myself now
Can't forget you, babe
Can't forget
the way you make me feel.
I got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
At the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.
CHRIS REA lyrics - Sing A Song Of Love To Me
Sing a song of love to me
As the shadows start to grow
And I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore
'Cos if you sing a song of love to me
I will always find a smile
That will warm my cold cold heart
Just for a while
Songs of love
I know so well
I've seen some days
And had some times
Lucky boy I can hear you say
You think my sun does nothing but shine
Sing a song of love to me
One more time before I go
And I won't be sad and lonely
No I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore

P. J. PROBY lyrics - Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly the name will never be the same to me.
Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria.
And suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be.
Maria, say it loud and there's music playing.
Say it soft and it's almost like praying,
Maria, I never stop saying: "Maria!"
CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - AF607105
Melancholy
Aviation
Chocolate
Perfume
Cigarettes
Frequent flyer
Stow away
Dislocation
Sleeping
Jets
Wave goodbye
Feel homesick
Tranquilizers
Bill of fare
Cry easy
Dvt
Disapear into thin air
[Chorus:]
We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight
This is a journey to the center of the night
And the inflight entertainment's out of sight
Here on af 607105
Time difference
You're waking
Chase the sun into your eyes
Sleeping cities
Dust hotel rooms
Passengers look to the skies
Fly over
Your lifetime
And never touching down
My heart
Is breaking
Somewhere over saskatchewan
[Chorus]
We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight
This is a journey to the center of the night
And the inflight entertainment's out of sight
Here on af 607105
Your life in
The wrong hands
Savannah and frozen wastes
The flight path
The wingspan
Below the earth rotates
I love you
I miss you
I cannot see your face
Invent a
New persona
Drunk here on the edge of space
All the things i carry with me
And all the things i left behind
And all the things that wait to meet me
Hover in the air tonight
If i can only keep on moving
And never stop and think of me
And freefall through the years and decades
Terminal velocity
[Chorus]
We hope you had a very happy pleasant flight
This is our final destination so goodnight
Like a stone we are now falling from the sky
Farewell from af 607105
The cabin
Is burning
I smile and feel complete
Here amongst
Total strangers
27 000 feet
Suspended
Isolation
Kids throw toy planes in the street
One final
Blaze of glory
Viewed from a window seat
BOB SEGER SYSTEM lyrics - Black Eyed Girl
Once had a woman I used to watch her walk
Said I once had a woman I used to watch her talk
Yes I once had a woman in my heart in my mind
You know the kind
Once saw my woman with another man
Once saw my woman take a hold of his hand
Said I once saw my woman in my heart in my mind
Ooh Lord she was a mean kind
She was a good woman yeah
Nothing wrong with her
A little bit wild but all right
Now I'm older
I'm real good at tellin lies
But I'll never forget her no no
Even in my heart even in my mind
Black eyed girl of mine
She was a black eyed girl of mine
Shes so good
She's still free comin after you
yeah
JOHN DENVER lyrics - Anthem-Revelation
See the sun rise, open up your eyes, today is the very first day.
Watch the morning come, now the night is gone, yesterday is so very far away.
Trouble, you get out of my sight, you know I can't look at you when the sun is so bright,
You know everything's coming together now, can't you see?
And I live my life in celebration that I've got a life to live,
and I sing my song in revelation that I've got a song that I can give to you, and you know I do.
La la la la la la la:
I was blind but, now I can see, you know, I'm just learning how it feels to be free,
you know I never really knew just what it could be before.
And I live my life in celebration that I've got a life to live,
and I sing my song in revelation that I've got a song that I can give to you,
and you know I do and you know it's true.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
RICKY NELSON lyrics - Everybody But Me

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Long Live Love
(Valerie Avon/Harold Spiro)
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love
All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love
On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love
SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Self-Obsessed And Sexxee
I remember when you first arrived
Magic marker on yr belly button alright, alright
I read what you said you said drop dead oh no, oh no
I need you now cuz I know you got nowhere to go
Schizo-action baby create a scene
I'm the type-a-guy to boost yr self-esteem
We party all night cuz it's you, you, you everyday
Self-obsessed and sexxee all the way
I remember yr bloody trail to the top, the top
Took it all too far now you just can't stop, don't stop
I'll help collect yr soul from the lost and found, it's around
And I will build you up while they put you down
Schizo-action baby create a scene
I'm the type-a-guy to boost yr self-esteem
We party all night cuz it's you, you, you everyday
Self-obsessed and sexxee all the way, all the way
Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time
SHALAMAR lyrics - The Second Time Around
I know you come a long way, baby
But you don't need that heart of stone, no
You proved that you could do it, do it, baby
You could make it on your own
But you can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down, no, no, no
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
Love can still be found
(The second time around)
Ooh, the second time is so much better, baby
(The second time around)
And I'll make it better than the first time
You know I really love you
And I paid for my mistakes, yes, I did, girl
The more I try to hide my feelings, baby
This old heart gets in the way
And love won't let me wait
(The second time around)
Girl, with me it's better than the first time
(The second time around)
Let's do it one more time, say it again
Say it again
(The second time around)
All that I've been through
I'll do it again just as long as I'm with you
(The second time around)
Haaaaaa, the second time
Haaaa-uh
I'll make it so good to you, babe
I make it so good to you
Not like the first time
(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time
Not like the first time
(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
(Not like the first time)
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time
You can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
(The second time around)
I'm gonna keep you mine the second time, baby
(The second time around)
I'll know what to do
Just as long as I'm with you
(The second time around)
Do it one more time, say it again
The second time around

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Adieu To My Island
(Travis Edmonson)
[Chorus:]
I must bid adieu to my island. Leave the nights by the sea. My heart is heavy inside me. Bow down just like a palm tree.
The nights may be warm in Hawaii and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad and my heart tells me that's home.
[Chorus]
I've traveled around on the sailing ships from Barbados to Bombay,
But the laughter in the market in Trinidad tells me that's where I should stay.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [Repeat]
The sun's comin' out of the ocean now, and in an hour I'll be gone.
Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in for the one I'll be on.
[Chorus]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, a, la, la [Repeat]
RICKY NELSON lyrics - Excuse Me Baby
Excuse me baby, but you're looking mighty fine
Excuse me baby, if I'm talkin' out of line
Well the way you talk and the way you twist around
You've got me lookin' and I just can't make a sound
Excuse me baby, but you're lookin' good to me
Hey hey sweet thing, I don't your name
I love you pretty baby, I hope you feel the same
When the rightime comes and I want you around
Well come on baby, don't you dare let me down
Excuse me baby, turn those pretty eyes my way
Yeah if I could hold you honey, I'd mould you in my arms like clay
I'd never ever let you out of my sight
Come mornin', noon, evenin', daylight or night
Excuse me baby, that's how I'm feelin', wrong or right
CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Carry Me (Like A Fire In Your Heart)
There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;
So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;
There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory,
And begin to make the shadows disappear;
Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;
So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.
JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Home By Another Way
(Mayer/Taylor)
Those magic men the Magi, some people call them wise or Oriental, even kings.
Well anyway, those guys, they visited with Jesus, they sure enjoyed their stay.
Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme, they went home by another way.
Yes, they went home by another way, home by another way.
Maybe me and you can be wise guys too and go home by another way.
We can make it another way, safe home as they used to say.
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high and go home another way.
Steer clear of royal welcomes, avoid a big to-do.
A king who would slaughter the innocents will not cut a deal for you.
He really, really wants those presents, he'll comb your camel's fur
until his boys announce they've found trace amounts of your frankincense, gold and myrth.
Time to go home by another way, home by another way.
You have to figure the Gods, saying play the odds, and go home by another way.
We can make it another way, safe home as they used to say.
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high and go home another way.
Home is where they want you now,
you can more or less assume that you'll be welcome in the end.
Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so or fantasize his features when you're looking at a friend.
Well it pleasures me to be here and to sing this song tonight,
they tell me that life is a miracle and I figured that they're right.
But Herod's always out there, he's got our cards on file.
It's a lead pipe cinch, if we give an inch, old Herod likes to take a mile.
It's best to go home by another way, home by another way.
We got this far to a lucky star, but tomorrow is another day.
We can make it another way, safe home as they used to say.
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high and go home another way.
JOURNEY lyrics - Dead Or Alive
(Perry/Schon/Cain)
A double secret agent
And he was paid to kill
With cold steel magnum force is
how the man possessed the skill
He shot a man in Paris
He did a job in L. A.
And if the price was right, he'd surely
Take your life away
[Chorus:]
Wanted, dead or alive, blood for money, money
Assault, homicide, blood for
money, money, money, money
Wanted
He drove a Maserati, lived up in the hills
A cat with nine lives that's gone
Too far to feel the chill
He never though it'd happen
It was his last mistake
'Cause he was gunned down by a
heartless woman's 38.
[Chorus]
JOHNNY BURNETTE lyrics - The Ballad Of The One-Eyed Jacks
A one-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the heat of the blazing sun.
When Sheriff Longworth saw Kid Rio, he strapped on his fast gun.
The sheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the deadly smile he wore.
An' when that night he shamed Louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore.
[Chorus:]
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild.
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile.
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone.
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own.
Ten cracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep. The pain-filled Rio cursed.
"You'd better kill me while you can or I will get you first."
The angry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then smashed Rio's trigger hand.
"You're done for now, you one-eyed Jack, you will kill no other man."
[Chorus]
The creaky iron doors slammed shut tight. The one-eyed Jack was jailed.
With Louisa's help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed.
The horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin' six guns burst.
The sheriff aimed his gun at the one-eyed Jack, but the one-eyed Jack shot first.
[Chorus]
