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

Que buenos son los amores

Cuando se llevan por dentro



Ay, si, corazon

Ya se van los nubarrones

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

La dulzura del carino

Ya la vida abre sus puertas

Y en el alma no hace frio



Ay, si, corazon

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

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]

Well the sun done gone



The captain can't hold her [3x]

The way I do now



Ada got a gold mine [3x]

Way above her knees



The shiv (?) is golden [3x]

Above her knees



Look-a look-a yonder [3x]

Well the sun done gone



Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam [2x]

Wohoh, Black Betty, bam-e-lam [2x]

That Monday, I was arrested

Tuesday, I locked up in jail

Wednesday baby, my trial's tested

On Thursday, nobody could blow my bail



Yes, I'm almost done [3x]

And I ain't gonna yell against no bells



On Monday, baby I went a-walking

Tuesday, I.... asked to go

On Wednesday I sat down a-talking

On Thursday she hock all a my clothes



Yes, I'm almost done [3x]

And I ain't gonna.... no more

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

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?!?

What you talkin bout?!?



[Ice Cube:]

Why talkin loud?!?

What you talkin bout?!?

[Mack 10 talking over Ice Cube:]

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


SAXON lyrics - See The Light Shining

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

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]
