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... Won't you help me?

Purify you and I

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

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

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, 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
