RAY CHARLES lyrics - Day In - Day Out
Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out
Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Lo And Beholden
(Smith/Kaye)
I was alone and content in my world
Dancing on air
You sent to me a message that said
I like your style
Will you come to the temple tonight
And dance for me there
I pledge to you all that you wish
The moon and the stars
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden Come on you know
it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh I'm beholden to you
In the palace there was wild reverie
And the look in your eyes
As I dropped veil after veil
Was drunken desire
The dove calls and God notes it all
The naked truth
Here is my veil the seventh and last
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden
Come on you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh I'm beholden to you
The royal word has passed
The prophet's head is all I ask
For beauty and the naked truth
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden
Come on you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh I'm beholden to you
ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Control
(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)
Pretty baby, don't you know, times they are a changin'
Every little moment we grow up we lose control
Life's a loaded gun with no directions
And it keeps you on the run, it has no mercy
Mum and daddy went to war
Never coming back no more
Did you ever think they'd make you whole again
Maybe someone dropped a bomb
Just right into the middle of your soul-they're in control
You got to get out of control again
No more control again
You're getting whole again
Ain't no control again
You got to get out of control
20th century honey bee
What you're doing is what you'll be
Life's no dress rehearsal when you bring the honey in
Everything seems wrong to thee
Hurtured from the poison of reality that has no mercy
All your friends went for the thrill
Now it's yours to grab the kill
Did you ever think you're getting whole again
Maybe someone send a priest
With some religion cooking in a bowl
They're in control
You got to get out of control again...
What's the fucking thing about control
Did you think you'd ever getting whole
Just as long as there is no control
They have no control of you at all

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Over The Edge
Yeah I got the music cranking, Japanese TV
My head is full of jasmine smoke
I can hardly breathe
Turquoise dragons slip and slide
Sliding down my back
I'm standing on this cold, thin ice
And I'm about to crack
I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge
Seven candles burn so bright
The full moon behind a veil
The ocean crashing in my head
Outside the sirens wail
Jet black is my dirty hair
Jet black my heart and car
My lips are red, my skin snow white
My face is battle scarred
I no longer feel the pain
No longer feel my love
Just the air conditioner
And some help from the Lord above
Coughing up pieces of my broken heart
My eyes work like radar
I'm lyin' in the afterglow
How'd I ever get this far
I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge
DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy!
To be loved is a thrilling sensation as thrilling as can be
Though it happens in every nation they greet if differently
Every mademoiselle with pasoolala, every Englishman talks to his pater
Every spittin' Venetian goes tra la la and the Irish say Mother McCree
But when I look at you and I thrill like I do there is only one thing I can say
Oh boy! oh boy! oh boy! oh boy! oh boy!
Oh boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy
To know that you love me by heaven above me
I never expected to pick you off the vine
(The others will try and try and try and try and try
To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye)
But when they approach you I'll keep them in line
By telling them oh boy oh boy oh boy you're mine
Certain characters hi-diddle-diddle when cupid comes along
Some mechanics shift gears in the middle and drummers kick the gong
Every cowboy I know hollers yipee-a-ay
Every clown in the circus goes oopla
Every sailor in port hollers anchors aweigh
And an Indian gives you a ugg!
But when you hold me tight like you're doing tonight
There's only one thing I can say
Oh boy! oh boy! oh boy! oh boy! oh boy!
Oh boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy
To know that you love me by heaven above me
I never expected to pick you off the vine
(The others will try and try and try and try and try
To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye)
But when they approach you I'll keep them in line
By telling them oh boy oh boy oh boy
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy you're mine

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Hold Back The Water
Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Headed west to Georgia
Looking for the road to L. A.
They say the weather's fine
But the sun don't shine
'Cause the smog's always in the way
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn
I've never played no smoker
You know I've never played no hotdog
The preacher say
I was born this way
With storm cloud in my heart
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn (Whooo)
Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water (Hey!)
I gotta find time to burn

MOODY BLUES lyrics - The Swallow
Time goes by
Seems like the blink of an eye
It's so crazy
What can we do
It's so strange
Life in the really slow lane
Take it easy
That's what we'll do
Just me and you
In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom
We're all right
Maybe get lucky tonight
Only lovers feel like we do
We take our time
Leave all our worries behind
No more mind games
Simple and true
That's what we'll do
In the wide outside
See the swallow as he glides
Like a spiral up to freedom
Time goes by
Seems like the blink of an eye
It's so crazy
What can we do
It's so strange
Life in the really slow lane
Take it easy
That's what we'll do
Just me and you
That's what we'll do
Just me and you
That's what we'll do

ROXETTE lyrics - El Dia Del Amor (Perfect Day)
Dia gris
sin ilusion.
Donde va
mi corazon.
Necesito descansar.
Este no es
un dia mas.
Sola, desolada,
esperando al sol.
Animate
qua lo malo pasa.
Asi es la ley,
esa es la verdad.
Porque no hay mal
que cien anos dure.
Espera con valor
el dia del amor.
Que m s da
como te va.
A veces bien,
a veces mal.
Nada que hacer,
solo esperar
y sabe Dios
lo qua vendr.
Sola, desolada,
esperando al sol.
Animate
qua lo malo pasa.
Asi es la ley,
esa es la verdad.
Porque no hay mal
qua cien anos dure.
Espera con valor
al dia del amor.
Oh, oh... Oh, oh...
Sola, desolada,
esperando al sol.
Animate
qua lo malo pesa.
Asi es la ley,
esa es la verdad.
Porque no hay mal
que cien anos dure.
Espera con valor
el dia del amor...
El dia del amor.
AMERICA lyrics - Tomorrow
Time goes on
People burning candles
Will I ever see you tomorrow
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free
Life goes on
People turning handles
Making sure I'll be here tomorrow
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free...
THE CURE lyrics - Out Of Mind
I've been up for days
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
I've been up for days
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind
OK
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
OK
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...
TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - One Wind Blows
Wouldn't know any more than home
And couldn't see much further
And light won't help
A wound untended grows
And never heals
Standing face to east
Waiting for an answer
But the only sound is desert wind
And when the wind was cold
Bundled up and packed away we shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
I couldn't sleep
Something kept me still and wide awake
And gnawing at my breast
Something I don't know
I couldn't shake it
Laying face to wall
Plaster tells me nothing
But I sense a movement somewhere else
And 'though it's far away
Bundled up in safety here I shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
He walked alone
Facing wind and snow
Moving slowly
He staggers, moves again
Somehow stronger now
The wind won't touch him
But the only sound is desert wind
And when the wind was cold
Bundled up and packed away we shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows

THE KINKS lyrics - Death Of A Clown
My makeup is dry and it clags on my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
So let's all drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
And frantically looking for runaway fleas
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
So won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
Tear drops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, that's all
'Cause I'm running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Well I was stranded in the jungle
Trying to take in all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quite real fast
I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And kid you better get the picture
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't go home
When the changes was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
With the Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out...
RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Have You Seen My Baby?
Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I seen her with the gypsies
Dancin' in the wood
She's always been unfaithful to me
She ain't never been no good
I say, "Please don't talk to strangers, baby"
But she always do
She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to
'Cause I'm a stranger, too"
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Love Out Loud
I like this room
It's got me
Dancin' down and dirty on my knees
Get lit up
Tell those lies
Wicked enough to melt your ice
I can see baby
Touch on me
I can see most any possibility
Got to do it. Got to use all my love
Too much is never enough
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
Sing Out Sing Out
[Chorus:]
Love out loud
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
You've got to love out loud
Don't look down
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
Got no time
Time to choose
Wait a second now you're gonna loose the mood
Got to do it
Got to use all your love
Too much is never enough
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
Sing Out Sing Out
[Chorus]
ROD STEWART lyrics - Say It Ain't True
(Rod Stewart / Chen, Savigar, Cregan, Grainger)
Look at all the problems
That we've been through
How can you tell me
That there's somebody new
I don't believe that I'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way I've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before I'm pushed aside
And tell me
Say it ain't true
That's all you gotta do, baby
Say it ain't true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
It's going to hurt when I set you free
I've been loving you too long
You're a part of me
So tell me
Say it ain't true, Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it ain't true
Say it ain't true
Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldn't do you no wrong
SKID ROW lyrics - I Remember You
(Bolan, Snake)
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Let Me Drive
Honey, you're from Detroit.
You know a lot about wheels.
A summertime hot rod's givin' me the brake job.
Don't you stop 'til I start to squeal.
'Cause, baby, I love your body
as much as your automobile.
But I need more than a tune up.
I'll take you with the moon up.
Just let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
I wanna feel the power comin' alive.
Darlin', let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel.
I wanna know how your hot rod feels.
Honey, I hear you're the expert.
You can keep me at the edge of my seat.
Take me through a tight turn, keep me at a slow burn.
feet to the floor and I feel the heat.
And, baby, they say you'll deliver
lovin' up and down the street.
But it's your turn to be driven.
C'mon and slide over.
Get in and let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
I wanna feel all that power comin' alive.
Darlin', let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel.
I wanna know how your hot rod feels.
Baby, don't ask directions.
Who needs a map when there's time to ride?
Baby, you're hands are shakin'.
Give me the keys, turn on the lights.
I'm gonna burn out this road tonight.
Ooooh, let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
I wanna feel your power comin' alive.
And darlin', let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel.
I wanna know how your hot rod feels.
Let me drive. Oooh, let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel.
I wanna know how your hot rod feels.
Let me drive. Let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel. . .
METALLICA lyrics - Purify
Tear it down
Strip the layers off
My turpentine
Old pain, old looks
Cover up the past
White heat, white light
Super white bones
Bones of you and I
Pure if I... Can't you help me?
Pure if I... Won't you help me?
Purify you and I
Purify you and I
Pure if I... Can't you help me?
Pure if I... Won't you help me?
You and I purify

Ghost white
Ultra clean
Wanna be skeleton
Clear eyes
Diamond eyes
Strip the past of mine

HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - You Gonna Wreck My Life
(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)
How many more years, are you gonna wreck my life
How many more years, are you gonna wreck my life
Well the way you done, you gonna wreck my life
How many times, you gonna treat me like you do
How many more times, you gonna treat me like you do
You took all of my money, and all of my love too
Now I'm old and gray, got no place to go
Now I'm old and gray, got no place to go
You got yourself a young stud, and you can't stand me no more
I'm going to the stairs, I'm gonna beg ya for my clothes
I'm going to the stairs, I'm gonna beg ya for my clothes
For where I go nobody knows
AMY GRANT lyrics - I Surrender All
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In his presence daily live
[Chorus:]
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender
At thy feet I humble bow
Worldly pleasures all forsaken
Take me, Jesus, Take me now
[Chorus]
All to Jesus I surrender
Lord, I give myself to thee
Fill me with thy love and power
Let thy blessing fall on me
[Chorus]
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Le Mur
(M. Vaucaire & C. Dumont)
Ils ont construit
Un grand mur gris
Couleur d'ennui
Couleur malheur
Un mur de gene
Un mur de peine
Un mur de haine
Un mur de peur
Et ils ont fait
Ce qui devait
A tout jamais
Nous separer
Ils ont perdu
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
Ils ont construit
Un grand mur gris
Couleur de pluie
Couleur d'hiver
Pour nous cacher
Nous baionnettes
Et nous empechait
Nous etouffer
Nous faire a Terre
Ils ont perdu
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De leur crier
Un monde entier
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
De leur crier
Un monde entier...
THE CURE lyrics - Just Like Heaven
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Dead Man, Dead Man
Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the line
Never being able to separate the good from the bad
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
It's making me feel so bad.
Dead man, dead man
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind
Dust upon your eyes.
Satan got you by the heel, there's bird's nest in your hair
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold you head, cursing God with every move
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
What are you trying to prove?
Dead man, dead man
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind
Dust upon your eyes.
The glamour and the bright lights, and the politics of sin
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you're living in
The race of the engine that overrules your heart
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
Pretending that you're so smart.
Dead man, dead man
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind
Dust upon your eyes.
What are you trying to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?
My back is already to the wall, where can I run?
The tuxedo that you're wearing, the flower in your lapel
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
You wanna take me down to hell.
Dead man, dead man
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind
Dust upon your eyes.

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Sure As I'm Sittin' Here
(J. Hiatt)
Git up, ya git down
Ya git lost and then ya get found
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Ya git a laugh, ya git a cry
Get 'em all before you die
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
You git the truth, ya git a lie
'nough to make a grown man cry
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
You git the light, you git the dark
Fall in love, it breaks your heart
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
All the ladies hypnotize you
And all your friends, well they just patronize you
Don't God look forgot? He's just sittin' here
And I think He's got a plan but it's not too clear
Mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm mm
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Mm-mm mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm mm
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Come on...

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - 'Til The End Of Forever
(Michael Bolton/Liz Sharpe)
Now there's something my daughter
That I need to tell you
And there's no easy way on your heart
The truth is your mother and I have decided
We're better off living apart
But nothin's gonna change between you and me
We'll only grow stronger in time
As sure as the river will run to the sea
You can always come runnin to this love of mine
Til the End of Forever
The last day of never
And through all of your life in this world
Promise me you'll always remember
My love will follow you anywhere
Til The end of forever I promise I'll always be there
We'll look back at the pieces
That we put together
And the puzzle will mean so much more
I'll be right where ya found me
Wrapped round your finger
Like I've been since the day you were born
And who'll walk beside you
When ya walk down the aisle
When true love is takin your hand
When you're lost in the eyes, of your own child
You'll remember this moment and you'll understand
Til the End of Forever
The last day of never
And through all of your life in this world
Promise me you'll always remember
My love will follow you anywhere
Til The end of forever I promise I'll always be there
Spread the wings of your dreams
That's my only prayer
To Love every moment from sunrise to sunset
In your heart is my heart... I will be there
Promise me you'll always remember
My love will follow you anywhere
Til The end of forever I promise
Til The end of forever I promise
As God is my witness I promise I'll always be there
So promise you'll always remember I'll always be there
DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Where Do You Come From
In your eyes I see a thousand lives,
Where do you come from,
Where do you belong.
Visions in my mind of people crying,
Where did we go wrong,
Where do we belong.
Ways that our fathers showed us are
A menaace,
And a hindrance in these troubled times.
Blinding us,
Stealing us of our reason.
Down crash the walls of cities,
They have kept us enslaved for so many years.
Want new seeing,
New meaning for us living.
Did I see you once as a friend,
Where do you come from,
Where do you belong.
When I feel you around me,
Seems that I've loved you oh so many times,
I know you,
Do you remember me.
See fields that stretch far before us,
Offer a new vision that began with time.
Children dancing,
Joyous laughter sacred wonder.
LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - 'Round Midnight
(Bernie Hanighen, Cootie Williams, Thelonious Monk)
It begins to tell 'round midnight
'Round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
'Round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too
When some quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darling I need you
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
Let our love take wing some midnight
'Round midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight comes around
YES lyrics - Almost Like Love
(Tony Kaye/Trevor Rabin/Jon Anderson/Chris Squire)
Who was it organizing the right
To follow my leader
Seems we look and stand around waiting
For a sign from God
Speaking for myself
The christian need
The muslim need
The buddhist need
To testify the need for brotherly love
I know there's so many hundred things
Things to talk about
Making us laugh
Just like a shakespeare revolution
Please organize our spiritual evolution
Do that you'll feel it
And we'll feel it
Appreciate it's almost like love
It's almost like love
It's almost like love
It's almost like love
Saint or sinner
Makes no difference in who you believe
In a world of superstition
Caught in a total nuclear greed
Pioneers of the twenty first century
Looking on and looking fast
To try and fix and try and help
This very need
I know there's so many ways
That we can work it out
Whether we live or die
Please organize the simple evolution
so there's got to be
so we can see
to be free
It's almost like love
It's almost like love
It's almost like love
So promised in a hundred letters
Should be getting to you any time now
So promised a surprise for you
For getting so far from now
It's almost like love
The way the first one out discovers
It's almost like
How many times can you recover
It's almost
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like
It's almost like love
LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Oh No Not My Baby
(Gerry Goffin, Carole King)
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had faith in you
I just kept on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
Now I'm glad that I kept on saying
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Rock Of Your Love
It ain't like I'm so tough
You shook me to the heart
You shook me sure enough
Turned my whole world upside down
I tried to run away but I just ran aground
On the rock of your love
On the stone hard truth
On the rock of your love
I found my living proof
You pierced through armor plated steel
You tore into my soul
And forced me to be real
I feel the strength of 20 men
When I am in your arms
I smash those fears again
On the rock of your love
On the stone hard truth
On the rock of your love
I found my living proof
I'm crashing like a wave tonight
Upon your distant shore
I have found the solid ground
That I've been looking for
On the rock of your love
On the stone hard truth
On the rock of your love
I found my living proof
On the rock of your love
I found my living proof
THE EAGLES lyrics - No More Walks In The Wood
No more walks in the wood
The trees have all been cut down
And where once they stood
Not even a wagon rut
Appears along the path
Low brush is taking over
No more walks in the wood
This is the aftermath
Of afternoons in the clover fields
Where we once made love
Then wandered home together
Where the trees arched above
Where we made our own weather
When branches were the sky
Now they are gone for good
And you, for ill, and I
Am only a passer-by
We and the trees and the way
Back from the fields of play
Lasted as long as we could
No more walks in the wood
DORO PESCH lyrics - True As Steel
Go ahead all around the world
Step by step, our flag unfurled
Let your spirit rise
Got to fight for glory
On the wings of an eagle
We're flyin'
Breakin' free
And you're gone
Yes we're movin' on
Stay hard!
True as steel
Stay hard!
We're goin' down in history
Stay hard!
True as steel
Stay hard! Stay hard!
Hear the bugle call in golden starlight
We're on highway to heaven
Don't hide like a thief in the night
You've got a heart of gold
Courage and pride
Breakin' free
And you're gone
Yes, we're marching on
We will rock your feelings
You can hear our song In the air!

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Prisoners
Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dime, anything at all to help her pass the time.
Her mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles on about the good times playing in his mind.
It's a hard life living when you're lonely, it's a long night sleeping alone.
It's a hard time waiting for tomorrow, it's a long, long way home.
Josie spends the evening with the people in the pages of the paperback she picked up at the store.
Or sometimes it's the TV, or she'll try to write a letter, oh, they don't come too often anymore.
It's a hard life living when you're lonely, it's a long night sleeping alone.
It's a hard time waiting for tomorrow, it's a long, long way home.
I stare at the gray walls before me, I see her face in the stone.
I try to imagine our baby, I wish they would let me go home. I wish they would let me go home.
(I wish they would let me go home) It's a hard life living when you're lonely,
(I wish they would let me go home) It's a long night sleeping alone.
(I wish they would let me go home) It's a hard time waiting for tomorrow,
(I wish they would let me go home) It's a long, long way home.
(I wish they would let me go home) It's a long, long way home.
(I wish they would let me go home) Bringing me and the other boys home,
(I wish they would let me go home) Bringing me and the other boys home.
LOS LOBOS lyrics - New Zandu
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)
Zandu cracked the tile
With a pointed file
Could be heard for miles
Diamond cut the glass
Like a blade of grass
Nothing made to last
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Savin' It For You
(D. Fekaris/D. Loeb)
I've been waiting for so long
For someone who's as wonderful as you
Someone who's kind and always cares
And baby you're the answer to my prayers
You appear and I'm brand new
I love it, hey, I love it 'cause it's you
And for all the sweet things that you do
You got a little present comin' you
You pick me up
You keep me high up in the sky
Honey, yes you, you fill my cup
You keep a shiny and twinkling light in my eye
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you Mister Right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you Mister Right
All those worries back in town
Forget them 'cause they're nowhere to be found
All you find right here is love
And baby you are what I' ve been dreamin' of
Close the door and feel the fire
I'll love you, hey, I'll love you to the wire
And for the wonders you inspire
You got a little present comin' you
You pick me up
You keep me high up in the sky
Honey, yes you, you fill my cup
You keep a shiny and twinkling light in my eye
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you Mister Right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you Mister Right
Let's say hello a special way
Lovers who love and love to play
You have been all that I can think about
There's never a doubt it's you
And you alone that turns me on
Anticipation now is gone
And we're alone
So just get comfy and, oh yeah, unplug the phone
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you, for you Mister Right
I've been savin' it for you
All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you
For you, for you Mister Right
Savin' it for you
I've been savin' it, savin' it, savin' it for you
Savin' it for you
Been savin' it for you Mister Right

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Roll Over Beethoven
Well, I'm-a write a little letter,
I'm gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, It's a jumpin little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blowin a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tschaikowsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
Well, if you feel it 'n like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up just
A trifle further then reel and rock with
One another.
Roll Over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner,
You oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music won't never stop
Roll Over Beethoven,
Roll Over Beethoven,
Roll Over Beethoven,
Roll Over Beethoven,
Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Linden Arden Stole The Highlights
Linden Arden stole the highlights -
With one hand tied behind his back -
Loved the morning sun, and whiskey
Ran like water in his veins
Loved to go to church on Sunday
Even though he was a drinking man
When the boys came to San Francisco
They were looking for his life
But he found out where they were drinking
Met them face to face outside
Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet
Lord, he was a drinkin' man
And when someone tried to get above him
He just took the law into his own hands
Linden Arden stole the highlights
And they put his fingers through the glass
He had heard all those stories many, many times before
And he did not care no more to ask
And he loved the little children like they were his very own
He Said, "Someday it may get lonely."
Now he's livin', livin' with a gun
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Mull Of Kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have i traveled and much have i seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days i knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
GARY BROOKER lyrics - Missing Person
(Brooker / Sutherland)
I've been waiting
For you to come home
It's such a long time
So all alone
And when the night comes
It hits me so hard
Thinking about you
And where you've gone
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
You've got me wondering
What would I do now
If you don't come back
How can I get through now
The way I see it
Sooner or later
You're gonna miss me
Then you'll come running back
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Every time I hear the telephone
I run and pick it up
Hoping it you to say you're coming back
Every time I see the setting sun
I can't help counting the days you've been gone
The way I see it
Sooner or later
You're gonna miss me
Then you'll come running back
When the night comes
It hits me so hard
I gets me hurtin'
It hits me so hard
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
CAT STEVENS lyrics - The Boy With The Moon And Star On His Head
A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
'Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...
As if was a year before...
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all...he said.

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - For The Weekend
Get up early in the mornin'
Beat the clock, get out on the line
I'm part of the assembly
I'm just puttin' in time
There's only one thing in life
That helps me through
Just dreamin' of the weekends baby
And being with you
Just dreamin' of the weekends baby
And being with you
I'm gonna make it alright
From Monday mornin' to Friday night
I'm doulble shiftin' my time
Saving my money and waitin' in line
I'm gonna make it alright
From Monday mornin' to Friday night
I'm doulble shiftin' my time
Saving my money and waitin' in line
For The Weekend, I just can't wait
For The Weekend, I just can't wait
Woo
Get home late in the evenin'
I'm much too tired to move
Sick & tired of the late night people
I'm just not in the mood
There's only one thing in life
That helps me through
Dreamin' of the weekends baby
And being with you
Just dreamin' of the weekends baby
And being with you
I'm gonna make it alright
From Monday mornin' to Friday night
I'm doulble shiftin' my time
Saving my money and waitin' in line
I'm gonna make it alright
From Monday mornin' to Friday night
I'm doulble shiftin' my time
Saving my money and waitin' in line
For The Weekend, I just can't wait
For The Weekend, I just can't wait
KATE BUSH lyrics - Oh To Be In Love
As the light hits you,
As you shift along the floor,
I find it hard to place my face.
How did I come to be here, anyway?
It's terribly vague, what's gone before.*
I could have been anyone.
You could have been anyone's dream.
Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
All the colours look brighter now.
Everything they say seems to sound new.
Slipping into tomorrow too quick,
Yesterday always too good to forget.
Stop the swing of the pendulum! Let us through!**
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.

TRAFFIC lyrics - The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys
(Winwood/Capaldi)
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys
If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much
It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys
If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Rainbow Road
(D. Fritts, D. Penn)
I was born a poor poor man
All my life I had hard workin' hands
But I sang a song as I carried my load
Cuz I had a dream about rainbow, rainbow road
Then one day my chance came along
A man heard me singin' and playing these old songs
He bought me fine clothes, paid the money I owed
Started me on my way down rainbow, rainbow road
Then one night a man wiht a knife
Pushed me till I had to take his life
Fast as fallin' all my friends were gone
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song
Just livin' with that ball 'n chain
Had to wear a number 'for they'd ever call my name
Like a dream I'm growing old
But we still sing about rainbow, rainbow read
ELOY lyrics - Company Of Angels
Darkness prevails
mercyless war
devastating the land
with a vicious embrace
The footsteps of death
leave hunger and pain
empty hearts in dispair
tears fall like rain
Far in the distance
a glowing celestial sign
out of the silence
a murmur begins to rise
Choir:
We fear no one
we trust in Jeanne
our weapons strike like fire
We roll like thunder
skies torn asunder
a mighty roar from heaven
warriors of the Lord
Fears dissipate
minds reunite
for a holy crusade
in growing belief
the virgin of light
escorted by knights
leading banners of war
by celestial advice
Heavenly angels ride on the battlefields
wearing the colours of justice upon their shields
Choir:
Invincible - infallible
a holy blaze of fire
The choice of heaven
a deadly weapon
we fight to end the torture
the iron hand of God
female voice/choir:
Hear the message of the glory
God is with you
trust the company of angels
holy army
Dark shadows
of evil
engulf the light of glory
the powers
of darkness
demand the blood of sacrifice
Imprisoned
awaiting
the claws of inquisition
the jury
of traitors
holding the scales of justice
Her grieving
companions
shed burning tears of sadness
no mercy
damnation
the pyre claims the child of light
All that remains
tears and love
as she rose to eternal light
weapons of war
silent now
still her spirit rides on the wind
Over the ages
a mystical sound rebounds
voices of warriors
forever are chanting on
Choir:
We fear no one / ?
we trust in Jeanne / the child of light
her silver armour shining / her silver armour shining
The joice of heaven / heaven
a deadly weapon / ?
a holy blaze of fire / holy blaze of fire
Her guiding star / far in the distance
shines from afar / she rose to eternity
lightning remains forever / her spirit rides the wind
till the end of time
BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - My Heart Goes Out To You
(Rick Nowels/Allen Rich/Anders Baggee)
I see the tears you cry
They're tears I cannot dry
Know what you're going through
My heart goes out to you
There's nothing I can say
To take your pain away
I'm not sure what to do
My heart goes out to you
You know I feel so bad
To see you hurt so bad
But angels spread their wings
over everything
There's one thing no one knows
Why things go the way they go
We'll never have a clue
My heart goes out to you
When you're overcome
When you need someone
I'll be the friend you need
Like you have been to me
I see the tears you cry
One day they'll all be dry
But until they do
My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you
TOMMY BOLIN lyrics - Shake The Devil
You were born with a bad disposition,
And a heart as cold as ice.
Your tounge is sharp as a razor,
It's cut me more than twice.
Shake the Devil. Shake the Devil.
I believe you could shake the devil,
You could shake him all night.
Standing face to face with the devil,
Send him runnin' off in the night.

JOURNEY lyrics - After The Fall
(Perry/Cain)
So now love is gone
I can't t go on, love is gone
I want to say
Now it's just too late
Waited far too long
[Chorus:]
Should have told you then I knew
Should have told you right
From the start
But the words
Didn't come out right
So I'll tell you
Straight from my heart
You meant more to me
Than I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness
And your sweet caress
I miss you now
But a headstrong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time
He's a workin' man
Can't stop fallin'
Heartaches callin'
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left after you fall
No not much no
Oh I say love is gone
I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say
But It's just too late
Waited far too long
[Chorus 2x]
No, no not much
After the fall
After you fall
After you fall
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Cherry Bomb
Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin' doin'
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile
[Chorus:]
That's when a sport was a sport
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends
Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
Outside the club"Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts were really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin' around this little country town
We were goin' nuts, girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say do you remember when
[Chorus]
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I'm surprised that we're still livin'
If we've done any wrong
I hope that we're forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don't know what to do
I hope that they're not laughing too loud
When they hear me talkin'
Like this to you
[Chorus]
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Lullaby Lullaby My Lovely One
(Traditional German Lullaby)
Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Close your eyes and sweetly dream
Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Sleep in moonlight's silvery dreams
Up above so slowly sailing by
The moon roams across the sky
Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Close your eyes and sweetly dream
GREG BROWN lyrics - Last Fair Deal Goin' Down
(Robert Johnson)
It's the last fair deal goin' down,
Last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
On that Gulfport Island Road
Please, Ida Belle, don't cry this time
Ida Belle, don't cry this time
If you cry about a nickel, you'll die 'bout a dime
She wouldn't cry, but the money won't mine
I love the way you do,
I love the way you do
I love the way you do, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island Road
My captain's so mean on me,
My captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island Road
Take camp tain he and see, camp ain't he and see
At scal ain't be at seen, good Lord,
On that Gulfport Island Road
Ah, this last fair deal goin' down,
It's the last fair deal goin' down
This' the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island Road
I'm workin' my way back home,
I'm working my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord,
On this Gulfport Island Road
And that thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon
That thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon
And that thing don't keep-a ringin' so soon,
Good Lord, on that Gulfed-and-Port Island Road
OTIS REDDING lyrics - Something Is Worrying Me
Something is worrying me, yeah
And that something is driving me in misery, oh
I can tell the way things change
That you've been loving some other man
That's why something keeps on worrying me, yes it is
That's why something is worrying me, oh
I can tell by the look in your eye
I can tell by the way you smile
I know things haven't been this way
I stopped to love you each and every day
And that something keeps on worrying me, yeah
That's why something is driving me in misery, yeah
I can tell by the look in your eye
That you've been loving some other guy
That's why something keeps on worrying me, oh yes it is
That's why something keeps on worrying me, darling
That something baby
Is deep down in my heart
Is worrying me baby
I know you love somebody
I know you have somebody else
It's worrying me baby
I need you right here by my side

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Somewhere Out There
(Steve Earle)
Somewhere out there in the world tonight
Just out of my reach
I hear your heart beat
Comin' in loud and clear tonight
Poundin' in my brain
Callin' out your name
In the darkness something binds you to me
So that I can find you
When you want me
I will be there
Waiting on you
Somewhere out there
In there in your heart tonight
Where I have never gone
You are not alone
It is tearing me all apart alright
But girl what can I do
When I'm so far from you
And when I lay me down to sleep
My one and only prayer is you'll keep
Safe from harm until I get
Wherever you are
Somewhere out there
If you're sad or if you're lonely
If you're scared, if you're only
Tired of fightin'
Seekin' shelter
Just hold on I'm
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there in the world tonight
Just out of your reach
You'll hear my heart beat
FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Rollin' Man
Oh baby,
Don't you want a man like me
Oh baby,
Don't you want a man like me
I could give you so much lovin'
More than one woman ever seen
Oh baby,
Make some love tonight
Oh baby,
We're gonna make some love tonight
Well be rollin' out the blankets
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I'm your rollin' man
I've got all the love you need
Rollin' man
Got all the love you need
I've got so much lovin'
More than you've ever seen
L. A. GUNS lyrics - Long Time Dead
When I came down to your riverside
And saw you standing there
Pocketful of Moonbeams
You had henna in your hair
And I never felt so lonely
Got the feeling I can't shed
It might seem like a premonition
But you're a long time dead
Gonna be a long time dead
Misery the devil's in my head
The seasons had already turned
The wind began to howl
A change of fortune is what I need
And there was little doubt
That they had never heard my testimony
Not a single word I said
Well the judge he whispered in my ear
Gonna be a long time dead
Gonna be a long time dead
Misery the devil's in my head
When I came down to your riverside
And saw you standing there
Pocketful of Moonbeams
You had henna in your hair
And I never felt so lonely
Got the feeling I can't shed
It might seem like a premonition
But you're a long time dead
Gonna be a long time dead
Misery the devil's in my head
VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - The End Of The World
(Arthur Kent & Sylvia Dee)
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.
THE BYRDS lyrics - Renaissance Fair
(Crosby / McGuinn)
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
I smell cinnamon and spices
I hear music everywhere
All around kaleidoscope of color
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
Maids pass gracefully in laughter
Wine coloured flowers in their hair
Last call from lands I've never been to
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
Some flash on a soda of prism
Bright jewels on the ladies flashing
Eyes catch on a shiny prism
Hear ye the crying of the vendors
Fruit for sale wax candles for to burn
Fires flare soon it will be night fall
I think that maybe I'm dreaming
THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - This Guy's In Love With You
You see this guy
This guy's in love with you
Really?
Yeah, I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
Talk to me baby
I'm glad I got to know you now
I've heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
Do you really think I'm fine
Yeah, I'm in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I want your love
I need your love
Say you're in love
In love with this guy
If not I'll just die
Please tell me now, is it so?
Right now
Don't let me be the last to know
Oh, my hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I need your love
I want your love
I need your love

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Waltz Of The Magic Man
(Emmylou Harris)
The very first time I ever saw my Tommy love
He came dancing into my room
And I felt the sunlight sparkle warm
Out from his magic shoes
And he danced so proud
And he laughed so wild
And he charmed me like a piper
When he smiled
So dance with me, dance with me, sing with me can't you see
I'm following the rainbow kissed strands of your magic carol
Follow your joyful song anywhere, anywhere my raggedy magical music man
For I am only your tag along raggedy-anne and I want you to hold me
As long as your raggedy magical music carol can
He asked me if I'd like to have my own parade
I answer yes and he blew his golden horn
Then the violins and the trumpets rang out he led them all
In a coat of many colors patched and torn
And he swung me to a loving sound
While the fiddlers played and pranced around
He spun so fast 'til we left the ground
Then the music filled the heavens with a joyful noise
The stars would dance to greet us as we'd come
Then he'd wave his hand and send them back to the morning light
And we'd keep climbing through the midnight sun
On a rocking horse with wings we'd fly
To a place where dreams can never die
Lovers little children in the sky
So dance with me, dance with me, sing with me can't you see
I'm following the rainbow kissed strands of your magic carol
Follow your joyful song anywhere, anywhere my raggedy magical music man
For I am only your tag along raggedy-anne and I want you to hold me
As long as your raggedy magical music carol can
And when it came time for my Tommy love to leave
I begged him please to stay and save my soul
And with a fading voice I heard him say as he danced away
You know I can't even save my own
And now when I look up I see
The stars are dancing the same as he
I think of him wherever he may be
And he danced so proud
And he laughed so wild
And he charmed me like a piper
When he smiled
And he danced so proud
And he laughed so wild
Charmed me like a piper
When he smiled
And he danced
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Without Her
I spend the night in the chair
Thinking she'll be there but she never comes
I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise, to face another day without her, without her
It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door of an empty room
Then you go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun you spend a day without her, without her
We burst the pretty balloon, It took us to the moon
It's such a beautiful thing,
But it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die, than live without her, without her
Love is a beautiful thing
When it knows how to swing and it moves like a clock
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
It's breaking my heart, to be without her, without her
We burst the pretty balloon
It took us to the moon, it's such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die than live without her, without her
Love is a beautiful thing
When it knows how to swing and it moves like a clock
The hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
It's breaking my heart to be without her, without her
Can't go on without her, without her
There's no song without her, without her
It's all wrong without her, without her
Can't go on without her, without her

STYX lyrics - Heavy Water
(James Young)
Sittin' here on terra firma
It's the kind of place we were meant to be
Out here kinda lost in space now
Pondering life's mysteries
All of minkind worship at the altar
Of old mythology
But the genie's out of the bottle
Collision course with eternity
Young children playing in the chat room
With the freaks and the satellites
Upload the nearset planet
Burnin' out at the speed of light
Better living for the masses
With the new technology
But some fool went and pushed the button
He didn't get an apology
Feeling good is a new sensation
Panacea for the Prozac nation
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Sacred cow sizzling in the fire
As we all go up in flames
With millions of true believers
And their unfamiliar names
On the road to good intentions
Blown to hell by our own inventions
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the...
Custom made for the self reliant
Lemonade for the thirsty giant
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the (slaughter)

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Sparks Will Fly
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
You'd better grease up
I'm coming back
You're going to catch fire
Pyromaniac
You'd better shape up
You'd better get set
I'm gonna burn up
In the smoke of a jet
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you baby
You're going to find out
Going to scream and shout
We're going to pierce through this drought
Sparks will fly, sparks will fly
You'd better stand back
The flames are high
Better get help
Can't stop the fire
Bell's going to ring
Hear the alarms
Better tell the fire chief
To quit playing cards
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
I'm gonna step on the gas
I want to get there really fast
I want to fuck your sweet ass
Sparks will fly
Sharks will cry
Sparks will fly
I had a good sniff around
Along old hunting grounds
But I have never found
A woman so hot
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you, baby
My fingers are crossed
The time that we lost
I'm in total chaos
Sparks will fly
Sparks will fly
Sparks will fly

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Riders In The Sky
An old cow poke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yippee-i-ay yippee-i-o
The ghost herd in the sky
As the riders looped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on the range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
Yippee-i-a yippee-i-o
The ghost herd in the sky
The ghost herd in the sky
Yippee-i-o
The ghost riders in the sky
STEVE EARLE lyrics - West Nashville Boogie
(Steve Earle)
I was born in the city
I was born in the city
And I was raised up right around here
Daddy's down in the workhouse
Daddy's down in the workhouse
Daddy's down in the workhouse
Mama say ain't no way he's coming back here
Went to school with some rich kids
Went to school with some rich kids
Went to school with some rich kids
Bussed me half way across town
Call us white trash and no count
Call us white trash and no count
Call us white trash and no count
Say there wasn't no use in me staying round
I'm goin' down to the corner
I'm goin' down to the corner
I'm goin' down to the corner
Don't you wait for me to come in
Nothin' happens till midnight
Nothin' ever happens till midnight
Nothin' happens till midnight
The boys get restless bout then
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I got a razor in my pocket
I got a razor in my pocket
I got a razor in my pocket and
I got a pistol hid down by the school
Lord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Good-Bye To Carolina
(Lyle Lovett)
Pack the sofa
And pack the old arm chair
Tell the china
To ask the silverware
To pray we find that
They speak the language there
And say good-bye to Carolina
Leave the puppies
And leave the old porch swing
Tell the children
We're bringing everything
And tell the picture
Of Martin Luther King
To say good-bye to Carolina
Go west young man while you still can
Before you're old and gray
Go west and make a better life
Than you could if you stayed
So tell your family
And tell your friends good-bye
Say you'll write them
And keep them on your mind
And say you'll see them
Whenever someone dies
And says good-bye to Carolina
Leave the puppies
And leave the old porch swing
Tell the children
We're leaving everything
Except the picture
Of Martin Luther King
To say good-bye to Carolina
Go west young man while you still can
Before you're out of time
And you can always come back home
Tomorrow if you like
So wave to the tractor
And to the tractor shed
And to the milk cow
That kicked me in the head
I can't remember
But was it I who said
Good-bye to Carolina

ANNIE LENNOX lyrics - Syracuse
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse
L'ile de Paques et Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s'amusent
A glisser l'aile sous le vent...
Voir les jardins de Babylone
Et le palais du Grand Lama
Rever des amants de Verone
Au sommet du Fuji Yama...
Voir le pays du matin calme
Aller pecher le cormoran
Et m'enivrer de vin de palme
En ecoutant chanter le vent...
Avant que ma jeunesse s'use
Et que mes printemps soient partis
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse
Pour m'en souvenir a Paris.
ROXY MUSIC lyrics - Flesh And Blood
(Ferry)
My friend's flesh and blood
She lies overtime
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
I'm not that kind
My friend's flesh and blood
Night size - perfect ten
So rude - she's no good
But as she says
It pays to win
Play to win
She plays to win
My friend's flesh and blood
Street wise for her time
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - If I Could
If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could
