BRYAN FERRY lyrics - All Night Operator

Can't you hear me talkin' to you

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me a better line



Can't you hear me talkin'to you

Do telephones make you cry?

I try to write letters

Only my pen runs dry



Though my words sound so confused

The feeling is running strong

Stick tight operator

Help me to pass it on



A final connection

A bridge before the fall

Receiver unrestin'

I count on your call



Am I just a number to you

A handful of empty sighs

All night operator

Reader between the lies



With half the world dreamin'

I see through your eyes

A switchboard breathin'

A diary of crossed lines



Can't you hear me talkin' to you

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me better line



If you feel me driftin' away

Slippin' into my song

All night operator

All of a sudden - gone

VAN MORRISON lyrics - They Sold Me Out

(Van Morrison)



Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes

They sold me out

It's the oldest story that's ever been told

They sold me out

Didn't even give it no shred of doubt, no, no

They sold me out

Didn't even sit down and try to figure it out

They just sold me out



For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice

For a few shekels more, another minute in the spotlight



My own people did it to me just 'cos they could

They sold me out

So beware brother it could happen to you

They sold me out



For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice

Just for a few shekels more, another minute of two in the spotlight



My own people did it to me just 'cos they could

They sold me out

Got to beware brother it just might happen to you

They sold me out

Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes

They sold me out

It's the oldest story that's ever been told

They sold me out

Sold me out for a few shekels and divided out my robes

They sold me out

It's the oldest story that's ever been known

They sold me out

They sold me out

They sold me out

They sold me out

T. REX lyrics - Dreamy Lady

O dreamy lady

Won't you come

To my bed

Night is the right time

To get acquainted with my head

In my bed



Star light is shinning

Silver baby hold me tight

Moon beams are twining

In the portals of my sight

You're so right



Na, na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Will you still love me



Oh dreamy lady

THE EAGLES lyrics - Outlaw Man

I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son

The highway is my legacy

On the highway I will run

In one hand I've a Bible

In the other I've got a gun

Well, don' you know me

I'm the man who won

Woman don't try to love me

Don't try to understand

A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man



First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe

Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day

All of my friends are strangers,

They quickly come and go



And all my love's in danger,

'Cause I steal hearts and souls

Woman, don't try to love me

Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

oo....



Woman, don't try to love me

Don't try to understand

A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man



Some me call me Abel,

Some men call me Cain,

Some men call me sinner, Lord

Some men call me saint



Some say there's a Jesus

Some men say there ain't

When you got no life to lose

Then there's nothin' left to gain

Outlaw man

Outlaw man

MADNESS lyrics - Sweetest Girl

(Green Gartside)



The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me



When we walk in the dark

I never can tell

When when we walk in the dark

I never can tell

It's just loving it

Ooh loving it



The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me

The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me



What I want I shall take what you think that you know

Oh such an awful mistake to never let go



When the government falls I wish I could tell

When the city calls I never can tell



The weakest link in any chain

I always want to find it

The strongest words in each belief

Find out what's behind it

The politics is prior to

The vagaries of science

She left because she understood

The value of defiance



The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me



(She wants to go, but she don't know why)

(Loving it, ooh loving it)



The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely



The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

HAWKWIND lyrics - Horn Of Fate (Destiny)

(Brock)



Yet year on year the greedy tide

Swelled from the west unsatisfied

And ever with impatient fret

Gnawed at the human banquet

And many with madness in their eyes

Stared gibbering at the white hot skies

Where foul birds circled overhead

Shadowing the living and the dead

Southward to where the blood red sun

Sickens at noon in vapours dun

He stumbles with the fear-tamed herds

Of savage beasts

While homeless birds fly overhead

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Canzone Triste (Canzone D'Amore)

(Zucchero)



Ho una canzone triste, nel mio cuor

Allegra ma non troppo, appena spunta il sol

E prendo il mio giubbotto

E una canzone Soul

Si, la strofa e da cambiare, pero....



Potrebbe funzionare

Lasciandosi un po andare

Suonando con vigore

Piu avanti fino in fondo al cuore

Senza accelerare

Piano piano oh oh



Ho una canzone triste

Nel mio cuor

Avrei un gran da fare

Caro amico Joe

Hai fuso

Si, e devo riparare

Qualcosa che non va (il turbo che non va)



Il motore, e da rifare, pero.....

Potrebbe ripartire

Lasciandolo scaldare

Spingendo con vigore

Piu avanti fino in fondo al cuore

Senza accelerare

Piano piano oh



Ho una canzone triste

Nel mio cuor

La sera all'imbrunire

Che non va proprio giu

A chi, a te, a chi lo devo dire

Se ci sei solo tu

Il giorno sale, la notte amore va giu

.... e noi torniamo su!

SANDRA lyrics - We'll Be Together

(Kemmler/Lohr/Sandra - Hirschburger/Kemmler)



days in blue

an' nights in fever

fall in Chinatown

flames an' light

a silent fire

not a single sound



who used to cry for love

time an' time again

i used to cry for some love tonight



an' we'll be together

with a little luck a little luck

we'll be comin' out of the dark

say you will

say you'll come my way

an' this means forever

with a little luck a little luck

we'll be comin' out of the dark

say you will

say you'll come



night is cold

an' moon is flashin'

in a lonesome dance

i don't care

cause you're beside me

i can take my chance



it's like a wave

that touched my skin

an' i'll let you stay



we'll be together

PRINCE lyrics - Shy

After a month of just bein' alone he said, "I wonder what L. A.'s thinkin'"

Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin'

When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white

The search was over at least 4 2night

When she co-signed and then told him she was...



Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



Oh baby (Shy)



After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation

A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation

I shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the head

No regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's dead

Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me... "



Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



Shy



Shy - Lips say no but the body say might

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



The girl was rough, but he called her bluff

And he told her not 2 know was better

Fact or fiction he wondered

And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter

And at the top of the page he wrote...



Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



(Oh, say it now, yeah)

(Shy, shy!)

(Shy)



Ooh baby, don't U wanna be alone 2night?

Shy - Yeah (Oh yes)

Shy (Shy)

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Our Lady Of The Well

It is a dance we do in silence

Far below this morning sun

You in your life, me in mine

We have begun

Here we stand and without speaking

Draw the water from the well

And stare beyond the plains

To where the mountains lie so still



But it's a long way that I have come

Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun

Where the families work the land as they have always done

Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone



Across my home has grown the shadow

Of a cruel and senseless hand

Though in some strong hearts

The love and truth remain

And it has taken me this distance

And a woman's smile to learn

That my heart remains among them

And to them I must return



But it's a long way that I have come

Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun

Where your children will be born

You'll watch them as they run

Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone



If you look for me, Maria

You will find me in the shade

Wide awake or in a dream

It's hard to tell-

If you come to me, Maria

I will show you what I've made

It's a picture for our lady of the well

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Oklahoma Swing

(Vince Gill/Tim DuBois)



Ther's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair down

She tears my heart out when she starts to sing

She's from the right side of Red River and she's pretty as a picture

Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream



There's a boy from Okie City and I sure think he's pretty

But I know he's trying to steal my heart away

Oh my mama tried to warn me he's done time in California

But he'll be an Okie til his dyin' day



There's a dance we do in Oklahoma

A dnace like you've never seen

Sit back and we're gonna show ya

How to do that Oklahoma swing



Well when two Okies get together man there's nothin' they like better

Than to hold each other on a dawdust floor

Oh I love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twi fiddles playin'

Come on boy what are we waitin' for



There's a dance we do in Oklahoma

A dnace like you've never seen

Sit back and we're gonna show ya

How to do that Oklahoma swing



Yeah there's a dance we do in Oklahoma

A dnace like you've never seen

Sit back and we're gonna show ya

Yeah how to do that Oklahoma swing

How to do that Oklahoma swing

HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Holiday Inn

(Stephens)



Just two minutes from the sea

Every room equipped with ancient-cy

Life is fun, for everyone

Down at holiday inn.



Breakfast in the dining room,

And guess which ones are on their honey-moon

Blushing bride, trying to hide

Down at holiday inn



So come on people

We musn't be late

Theres a lot to do.

And they'll be people

Standin in the bathroom queue

Don't let it happen to you.



Life goes marrily along,

To the music of the dinner gong.

Potted plants, maiden aunts

Down at holiday inn.



Home made marmalade for two

Swimsuits hanging on the balcony.

If you can, get your tan.

Down at the holiday inn.



So come on people

You mustn't be late

Theres a lot to do

And they'll be people

Standin in the bathroom queue

Don't let it happen to you.



Home made marmalade for two

Swimsuits hanging on the balcony.

If you can, get your tan.

Down at the holiday inn.



Come next year, i'll be here.

Down at the holiday inn

Down at the holiday inn

Down at the holiday inn

LOU REED lyrics - Dreamin'

If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you

If I trying hard and concentrate I can still hear you speak

I picture myself in your room by the chair

you're smoking a cigarette

If I close my eyes I can see your face you're saying, "I missed you"

Dreamin' - I'm always dreamin'



If I close my eyes I can smell your perfume you look and say "Hi baby"

If I close my eyes pictures from China still hang from the wall

I hear the dog bark I turned and say, "what were you saying?"

I pictured you in the red chair inside the pale room



You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm - you were so skinny

You were still making jokes I don't know what drugs they had you on

You said, " I guess this is not the time for long term investments"

You were always laughing but you never laughing at me



They say in the end the pain was so bad that you were screaming

Now you were no saint but you deserved better than that

From the corner I watch them moving things from your apartment

But I can picture you red chair and pale room inside my head



If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you

If I try hard and concentrate I can gear your voice saying,

"Who better than you"

If I close my eyes I can't believe that I'm here without you

Inside your pale room your empty red chair and my head

Dreamin' , I'm always dreamin'

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - What Do I Do Now?

(Wener)



Quickly she came dressed up for fame

Riding her perfume downstairs

Make-up like glue, she danced round the room

To the sound of her corduroy flares



Let's go to town, taxis all round

We could stop for a couple of beers

He looks at it all stifles a yawn

She tries not to look like she cares



[Chorus:]

What do I do now? Are we going under?

What did I do wrong?

I thought we had it sorted out the other day

Maybe I'm just stupid

Can't we try again?

No one told me it was raining (raining, raining)



Can't face a club, they walk to a nearby pub

Watch a couple of bands

Draining the glass they walk home at last

Reaching for each others hands



Nothing is said he goes to bed

Dreaming of her on his own

She stays up all week, watching him sleep

Scared that she'll wake up alone



[Chorus]



Oh I'll miss you every day of your life

Oh you'll feel it too, you're not that strong

You know I'm on to you

Oh I'll miss you every day of your life

Maybe when you're dead

I'll get some rest from holding onto you (holding onto you)



What do I do now? Are we going under?

What did I do wrong?

Thought we had it sorted

Is there someone else? Am I too familiar?

Was it when I said I wanted to have children?



Tore up all your photos, didn't feel too clever

Spent the whole of Sunday sticking you together

Now I'd like to call but I feel too awkward

Some things need explaining

No one told me it was raining (raining, raining...)

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Winning

Once he could smile maybe happy

Fighting for his future and his destinations

There were his friends he'd rely on

Everyone had nothing but their aspirations

Soon dreaming found realization

Winning was his target with deliberation



Now he has everything, tell me why

No one knows him, the veils shut out cutting the tie



So now he's made his own island

Not familiar even to his understanding

Thoughts turning sour, did he want it?

Something reassuring in his time and planning

What did he miss, needing nothing?

Seeing that it was the fighting and not the winning



No returning, no looking back, on with his way

Rising winner but falling man, gaining the day



Once he could smile maybe happy

Fighting for his future and his destinations

There were his friends he'd rely on

Everyone had nothing but their aspirations

Soon dreaming found realization

Winning was his target with deliberation

ARETHA FRANKLIN lyrics - Nessun Dorma

(Giacomo Puccini)



Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!

Tu pure, o Principessa,

Nella tua fredda stanza

Guardi le stelle

Che tremano d'amore

E di speranza.



Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,

Il nome mio nessun sapra!

No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro

Quando la luce splendera!



Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio

Che ti fa mia!



Dilegua, o notte!

Tramontate, stelle!

Tramontate, stelle!

All'alba vincero!

Vincero, vincero!

Vincero!

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - The Mystery Of Love

When you're not by my side

The world's in two, and I'm a fool



When you're not in my sight

Then everything, just fades from view



The mystery of love belongs to you

The mystery of love belongs to you



Tell me, have you changed your mind?

Am I a fool, because of you?



Tell me, do we still have time?

To make this wrong somehow be right



The mystery of love belongs to you

The mystery of love belongs to you



Show me sweetness, show me summer skies

Show me how to make this wrong seem right

Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes

Tell me, tell me have you changed your mind?

JOHN LENNON lyrics - Hold On

Hold on John, John Hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna win the fight



Hold on Yoko, Yoko hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna make the flight



When you'r by yourself

And there's no-one else

You just tell yourself

To hold on



Hold on world, world hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna see the light



When you're one

really one

You get things done

like they've never been done

So hold on

CHER lyrics - Just Like Jesse James

You're struttin' into town

Like you're slingin' a gun

Just a small town dude

With a big city attitude

Honey are you lookin'

For some trouble tonight

Well alright



You think you're so bad

Drive the women folk wild

Shoot'em all down

With the flash of your pearly smile

Honey but you met your match tonight

Oh, that's right



You think you'll knock me off my feet

'Til I'm flat on the floor

'Til my heart is cryin' Indian

And I'm beggin' for more

So come on baby come on baby

Come on baby show me

What that loaded gun is for



[Chorus:]

If you can give it I can take it

'Cause if this heart is gonna break

It's gonna take a lot to break it

I know tonight

Somebody's gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough come on and prove it

Your heart is down for the count

And you know you're gonna lose it

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames

Just like Jesse James



You're an outlaw lover

And I'm after you hide

Well you ain't so strong

Won't be long 'til your hands are tied

Tonight I'm gonna take you in

Dead or alive

That's right



You break the laws of love

In the name of desire

Take ten steps back

'Cause I'm ready baby

Aim and fire

Baby there's nowhere

You gonna run tonight

Ooh that's right



Well you've had your way with love

But it's the end of the day

Now a team of wild horses

Couldn't drag your heart away



So come on baby come on baby

Come on baby you know

There ain't nothing left to say



[Chorus]



You think you'll knock me off my feet

'Til I'm flat on the floor

'Til my heart is cryin' Indian

And I'm beggin' for more

So come on baby come on baby

Come on baby come on



If you can give it I can take it

'Cause if this heart is gonna break

It's gonna take a lot to break it



I know tonight

Somebody's gonna win the fight

So if you're so tough come on and prove it

Your heart is down for the count

And you know you're gonna lose it

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames

Just like Jesse James

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames

Just like Jesse James

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames

Just like Jesse James



I'm gonna shoot ya down Jesse James

TERESA BREWER lyrics - A Sweet Old Fashioned Girl

(Bob Merrill)



Scoobley-doo-bee-doo

Be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo



Wouldn't anybody care to meet

A sweet old-fashioned girl

Scoobley-dah-doo-bee-dum

Doesn't anybody care about

A sweet old-fashioned pearl

Scoobley-doo-bee-dum



Who's a frantic little bopper

In some sloppy socks

Just a crazy rock'n'roller

Little Goldilocks

Wouldn't anybody care to meet

A sweet old-fashioned girl



Doesn't anybody care to hear

Some sweet old-fashioned talk

A-scoobley-doo-bee-dum

Wouldn't anybody like to take

A nice old-fashioned walk

Scoobley-doo-bee-dum



Take a walk around the corner

Where the cats all stop

Where you dig the juicy ribs

And then you'll dance that bop

Wouldn't anybody like to take

A nice old-fashioned walk



A-scooby-doo, a-scooby-doo

We can bop on a bicycle built for two

Scooby-die, a-scooby-die

You'll get all your kicks

If you'll give us a try



Wouldn't anybody care to meet

A sweet old-fashioned miss

Scoobley-doo-bee-dum

Wouldn't anybody like to kiss

A sweet old-fashioned kiss

Scoobley-doo-bee-dum



You'll just flip your little wig

Because we'll bet your socks

That you'll really dig the flavor

Of our bubble gum

Wouldn't anybody care to meet

A sweet old-fashioned girl



A-scooby-doo, a-scooby-doo

We went out to that house

Where the lights are blue

Scooby-die, a-scooby-die

Though we went waltzin' in

We went boppin' goodbye



Wouldn't anybody care to meet

Asweet old-fashioned girl

Scoobley-doo-bee-dum

Doesn't anybody care about

A sweet old-fashioned pearl

A-scoobley-doo-bee-dum



Who's a frantic little bopper

In some sloppy socks

Just a'-crazy rock'n'roller

Little Goldilocks

Wouldn't anybody care to meet

A sweet old-fashioned



Scoobledah-doo-bee-doo-be-doo-be-doo

AHHH

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - No Man's Land

Headin' in or headin' out

Standing on the shore

Pause a moment to reflect

Which trip costs you more

Between the ever restless crowds



And the silence of your room

Spend an hour in no man's land

You'll be leaving soon



Victims come and victims go

There's always lots to spare



One victim lives the tragedy

One victim stops to stare



And still another walks on by

Pretending not to see

They're all out there in no man's land

Cause it's the safest place to be



But sanctuary never comes

Without some kind of risk

Illusions without freedom



Never quite add up to bliss

The haunting and the haunted

Play a game no one can win

The spirits come at midnight



And by dawn they're gone again

And so it seems our destiny

To search and never rest

To ride that ever changing wave

That never seems to crest

To shiver in the darkest night

Afraid to make a stand

And then go back and do our time

Out there in no man's land

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - I Was There

Take my advice

It doesn't get easier watching the golden orbs floating out of the bars

And into space there's Frank Sinatra on the Juke box

Pause in the ketchup your face in the reflection in the mirror



He walked through the rocks, you know

He walked through the scorpion dust

He walks on the beach and now he walks

And he keeps walking 'til he's out of reach

Every generation watches the princes of their nation

File away until the Son of Man every, every Madonna means so little to the next one

We ran together down the Santa Monica Boulevard oh baby

You look so hard, so fine

And my second-hand capella all that night I said Oo hoo...I said Oo hoo oo hoo



There you are in your write dress shirt most of all I think I loved your hands

I loved them so much that it hurt and all the bartenders knew your name

And all the pimps knew your car and we lay by the Nazz

And we were blessed yes, we are

You tell them I was there hey I was there man I was there

When Jesus walked I was there when Jesus walked



Now I don't know what happened, what happened was Babylon and that little Sheba

With her siren song and the planets swirling

Where no one's ugly and everyone's square no one's ugly and everyone's square

There's no such place I heard such peach when he played those traps

I heard such peace when He looked out at the map

And it ran through me and echoed into another time and space and place

And it ran through me way on back in time way on up is fine

Way one back in time was on up is fine way on back in time

Take my advice and go throw it away it's gonna do you no good until you blow for good

Cause you are there man you are there don't you know

You are there where Jesus walked, every generation, yeah the princes of their nation

Well, I'm ugly, too. No, no you're not beautiful, no, you're ugly too

Cause you've been travelling in so many universes and you manifest here

It's difficult to see who you are

Brother I didn't realize that you were talking to me until you broke that bread and I saw that you were

Where have you been that you don't know what's been going on here in Jerusalem

Haven't you heard, haven't you heard about the Nazarene, you know

We thought we were gonna set Israel free

THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Follow The Night

(M. Schenker/R. McAuley)



Funny you understand so much

Where do you always find the time

The explanations I found

Are all based on solid ground

Can nobody get inside

I tried but I can't find

There must be a door somewhere

All I need is the key and I'm there

Better to leave it alone

Some things you do disturb me

Better to weather the storm

My thoughts so deep I cannot see



[Chorus:]

Follow the night, follow your dreams

Follow the signs

And all the things you've seen

Follow the night



Yeah' Find your fantasy

Follow the road that leads you straight to me

Confusion inside your head

You never know where to turn

Look for the space instead

Wonder how you can carry on

Patience is a lonely word

We never can have enough

The problems you can't ignore

Especially from the start

Better to leave it alone

Some things you do disturb me

Better to weather the storm

My thoughts so deep I cannot see



[Chorus]



Never, never a moment lost

While the work is done

Time flies quickly past

Even for the most eager ones

The pain we must endure

It's not an easy task

To end what you're looking for

You simply have to ask

GARY MOORE lyrics - My Baby (She's So Good To Me)

(Gary Moore)



Well, my baby, she's so good to me.

My baby, she's so good to me.

I couldn't picked a sweeter cherry

Off the cherry tree.



She makes my breakfast in the morning,

Love me all night long.

She makes my breakfast in the morning,

Love me all night long.

Well, I love her, I love her,

The little girl can do no wrong.

That's right!



'Cause my baby, she's so good to me.

Well, my baby, yeah, she's so good to me.

Yes, she is.

I couldn't picked a sweeter cherry

Off the cherry tree.

Yeah!



My baby, she's so good to me, ah.

Well, my baby, she's so good to me.

Yes, she is.

I couldn't picked a sweeter cherry

Off the cherry tree.



She's my baby.

She's my baby, aogh.

She's my baby,

My baby.

That's right.

I couldn't picked a sweeter cherry

Off the cherry tree.

Yeah.

UFO lyrics - Star Storm

Lost myself in a distant starry storm

trying to find my way down

Somebody shut child a door in my head

had to turn around



But I gotta little time to set by

Gotta let my feelings all shine

You know that it will be all right

I gotta get your love for just mine



Found a starry storm it held me close,



Tryin' to find my way home

Took a distant walk in a starry mile

Had to turn and smile



But I gotta little time to let my

Gotta let my feelings all fly

You know that it will be all right

Gotta get your love for just mine



Hold on fast gonna catch a shooting star

Gotta find me a way

Get from this starry storm today

Never leave this place



But I gotta little time to let fly

Gotta let my feelings oh shine

You know that it will be all right

Gotta get your loving just right



instrumental



Found a starry storm held me close

Take me back today

All I want to do is fly away

Really couldn't say



But I gotta little time to set by

Gotta let my feelings all shine

You know that it will be all right

Gotta get your loving just right



Lost myself by heaven's chance

Trying to find a way down

Took a distance walk in a starry mile

Had to turn and smile



But I gotta little time to let fly

Gotta let my feelings oh shine

You know that it will be oh right

Gotta get your loving just fine

CHARLIE HADEN lyrics - Shenandoah

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you

Look away, you rollin' river

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.



Now the Missouri is a mighty river

Look away, you rollin' river

Indians camp a long her border

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.



Well, a white man loved an Indian maiden

Look away, you rollin' river

With notions his canoe was laden

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.



Shenandoah, I love your daughter

Look away, you rollin' river

It was for her I'd cross the water

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.



For seven long years I courted Sally

Look away, you rollin' river

Seven more years I longed to have her

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.



Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,

I'm bound to leave you

Look away, you rollin' river

Shenandoah, I will not deceive you

Look away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.

HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Tell Me

(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)



Tell me, what in the world can be wrong

Tell me, what in the world can be wrong

Woke up this morning

Trouble knocking on my door



I wonder what the trouble

Big trouble at my door

I wonder what the trouble

Real troubles at my door

Thursday morning my baby's making

Don't want me anymore



I'll have to forget it, and let this trouble pass

I'll have to forget it, and let this trouble pass

Well, I wonder sometimes, how long my troubles gonna last



All night long, somebody knocking on my door

All night long, somebody knocking on my door

There ain't nothing but my troubles

Can't be worried here anymore



Ooh, good bye, good bye baby, got to go

Ooh, good bye, good bye baby, got to go

I can't lay around here, be worried with this trouble no more



Trouble is knocking

Trouble is knocking

Trouble is knocking

Trouble is knocking

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Round & Round

There's a brand new dance

That just hit this town

Makes you feel so good

This dance they call the round and round



[Chorus:]

Round and round, up and down

Round and round, up and down



You know the kids got a bloodhound

Out on the playing ground

And when they want to have some fun

They start to goin round and round



[Chorus]



I got an elevator man

In the heart of town

And when he's feeling right

He will carry you round and round



[Chorus]



Baby don't be jealous

When I come to town

I'm just a country girl

Everybody's tryin to push poor me around



[Chorus]

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Precious Pain

Everybody's got a hunger

No matter where they are

Everybody clings to their own fear

Everybody hides some scar



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain



Everybody's got a reason

To abandon their plan

How can I think of tomorrow

With my sorrow in hand



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain



Each road that I walk down

Reminds me of you

This whole town is haunted

There'll never be anything new



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - As Old As You're Young

Look at the mirror over there, what do you see? Tell yourself a lie

Are you as old as you seem? Feel something that you have to

Being open, an innocent, wise only when. Age can mellow the haste

New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young



Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes

slipping away where no-one knows

Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring

always understand one life it goes



Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find

Dreams not realized

Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you



Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end

Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young



Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes

slipping away where no-one knows

Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring

always understand one life it goes



So as you look around, look at the things you knew

Never seeking the past

Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young

Still open eyed and promises never quite complete

Working head in the air

The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

MISFITS lyrics - 1969

[From "We Will Fall: A Tribute To Iggy Pop" (1997)]



Well it's 1969, okay

All across the U. S.A.

It's another year for me and you

Another year with nothing to do

Well, it's another year for me and you

Another year with nothing to do



Last year I was 21

I didn't have a lot of fun

And now I'm gonna be 22

I say "oh my" and "boohoo"

Yeah now I'm gonna be 22

Oh my and boo hoo



It's 1969, okay, all across the U. S.A.

It's another year for me and you

Another year with nothing to do

Another year with nothing to do

Well it's 1969

1969, 1969, 1969, 1969, baby

And it's 1969, baby

Baby

Baby

Baby

MARILLION lyrics - No Such Thing

There's no such thing

As an answered prayer

There's no such thing

As the ozone layer

There's no such thing

As an action hero



There's no such thing

As an easy ride

There's no such thing

As a place to hide

There's no such thing

As a perfect day



There's no such thing

As the pearly gates

There's no such thing

As an ordered world

There's no such thing

As an easy girl



No such thing

No such thing



There's no such thing

As peace-of-mind

As a faithful wife

As the bottom line

There's no such thing

As owning something

It's all borrowed for a time

It's all borrowed for a time



There's no such thing

There's no such thing

No such thing

There's no such thing

No such thing

THE CROSS lyrics - Final Destination

(Roger Taylor)



Maybe it's just a feeling, every time we meet

But you hit me right out of the blue from all those people out on the streets

And if one time you told me that you loved me - heaven knows

I would feel that I could ski right off the bridge of your pretty nose

This could be my destination

This could be my destination



And if one time you told me that you cared for me

You would renovate my soul



This could be my destination

This could be my destination

Play some guitar now



You could be my

You might be my

You must be my

Final destination



This could be my destination

You must be my destination

Know what I mean

In the day time

In the night time

In the summertime

In the wintertime

About any time

For all time

Say you'll be mine

Say you'll be mine

Say you'll be mine

Till the end of time

R. E.M. lyrics - Harborcoat

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shoes on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"



They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

She gathered the corners and called it her gown



Please find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it



They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shoes on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT", R-E-A-C-T



They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

She gathered the corners and called it her gown



She said...

TINA TURNER lyrics - Easy As Life

(Elton John / Tim Rice)



[From Aida]



This is the moment when the gods expect me

To beg for help but I won't even try

I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me

But I won't lie down, roll over and die



All I have to do is to forget how much I love him

All I have to do is put my longing to one side

Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation

Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died



It's easy, it's easy



Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him

And how he would have been were I to be with him today

Tender in his manner and my self-consolation

All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away



It's easy, easy as life



All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him

On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart

Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding

Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start



It's easy, it's easy



Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him

And how he would have been were I to be with him today

Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming

All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away



It's easy, it's easy as life



And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people

A father and a nation who won't let a coward run

Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages

Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done



Are easy, so easy



And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me

And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love

This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption

Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above



It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life

JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Moody River

(Gary Daniel Price)



[Chorus:]

Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife

Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life



Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree

It stands beside the river where you were to meet me

On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me

It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free"

No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin.

I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"



[Chorus]



I looked into the muddy water and what could I see?

I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me

Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips

And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips



[Chorus]

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - In Our Angelhood

He's gonna chalk you out

In his angelhood

He's got the love, let - let us

Like he said he would, like he said he would

He's gonna chalk you out

In his angelhood

Please stand alone and let us

Like he said he would, like he said he would

Like he said he would

Like he said he would [x5]

Like he said, the angelfish



In our angelhood

Now our heart's on the edge

Like you said they would, like you said they would

We're truly angelfish

In our angelhood

Now our heart's on the edge



Like you said they would, like you said they would

Like you said they would

In our angelhood [x3]

Judging you, Angelhood, Judging you

In our angelhood [x3]

Judging you, Angelhood, Trust in him

In our angelhood [x3]

Judging you, Angelhood, Judging him

In our angelhood [x3]

IRON BUTTERFLY lyrics - Lonely Boy

[Dedicated to Duneya West]



I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.

Yes, I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.



The only time I hear your voice is on the line,

And then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."

But you know that I'm not!



The only time I hear your voice is on the line,

And then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."

But you know that I'm not!



And that's why.

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - Some Kind Of A Woman

(Jimmy Peppers - Tommy Cash)



He's tempted by the devil to give up the love he knows he's got at home

And temptation sometimes leads the best of men to want to stay out all night long

And the way the world is turnin' you can find anything you wanna see

But I know you turn it down turn around and then come on home to me

But I've got me some kind of woman and she loves me like nobody can

Yes I've got me some kind of a woman and that's why I go on home to be her man

[ guitar ]

He lets me know that I am the only girl in the world he wants to hold

And I can tell by the way he touches me that his love will not grow cold

So why should he go looking for another when I'm all he'll ever need

I'm satisfied to be with him and his love sure does take good care of me

But I've got me some kind of woman...

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Angels Cry

Well its hard to explain

But I'll try if you let me

Well, it's hard to sustain

I'll cry if you let me



This doesn't change the way

I feel about you or your place in my life

(Please don't cry)

Can't you see I'm dying here

A shot of broken heart that is chased with fear?



Angels cry when stars collide

I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way



Intentions that were pure have turned obscure

Seconds into hours, minutes into years

Don't ask me why

(Please don't cry)

I can't tell you lies



Angels cry when stars collide

I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way



Angels cry when stars collide

I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way



My heart burns through my chest to the floor

Tearing me silently, although abruptly words can't hide

As I'm taking you home and I tried to see

Tried to understand your words as I'm taking you home



Angels cry when stars collide

I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way



Angels cry when stars collide

I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Four Of Two

Underneath a big clock at the corner of 5th Avenue and 22nd Street

I stood and waited for a girl I knew at the spot where we agreed to meet

It was four minutes of two



At four of two, I stood waiting for the girl

I was four minutes early for the date we had planned

I was planning to say I was in love with her

Just as soon as she showed for a two o'clock date

And the clock said four of two



At four of two, I was staring into space

She was not yet late, according to the clock

I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up

At the clock sticking out of the side of the building

And it still said four of two



At four of two, I began to feel tired

And I rubbed my eyes, and again I checked the time

It seemed as if the sky was growing dark...

But I felt reassured when I looked at the clock

And it still said four of two



I lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case she were coming I would have a better view

But no one was there so I stretched out and closed my eyes for a second or two

It was four minutes of two



At once I awoke to a futuristic world

There were flying cars and gigantic metal bugs

I'd grown a beard; it was long and white

But I knew that the girl would be coming very soon

For though everything had changed, there was still that clock

And it still said four of two

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Love Shouldn't Hurt

Born in pure innocence

Born without the fear

She says "Mommy what did I do wrong,

To make you cry your angry tears?"

Feeling dirty and ashamed

Keeps making up excuses

She's learned how to hide the pain

But she can't hide the bruises anymore

There's no light behind her eyes

She's tryin to find love in a stranger's touch

14 years old and so alone

Desperate for what she needs so much

She cries herself to sleep at night

And prays she won't wake up...



[Chorus:]

Love shouldn't hurt

Love shouldn't scar

But sometimes we can be so blind

To the way things really are

Love can be so unkind

Truth is that hearts get broken everyday

But love should never ever hurt this way....



Children having children and growing up too fast

If you've never been shown lvoe

How can you give love back?

Her newborn baby's cryin'

It's more than she can stand

She doesn't see the tragedy

When she raises her own hand

There's no light behind her eyes

She doesn't realize what she has done

Didn't think she was being so rough

Little one won't you please wake up?.....



[Chorus 2x]



But love should never ever hurt this way

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Fool For Your Love

(Diana Ross/Ray Chew/Bill Wray)



What do you want, baby

One last piece of my heart

What do you need, baby

We could make a new start



I'm not scared

All the nights alone

Lying there crying with the television on

Watching those scoops about love and happiness

Wonder what I ever did to deserve a fate like



I don't wanna be around

For that famous final scene

I just can't help myself

I'm a fool for your love



Leave me alone, please

My heart can't take any more

You left me going crazy

It started like just like a phone



You're the number one

You're the only one I need

If you don't want my love

Then set me free



I don't wanna be around

For that famous final scene

I can't help myself

I'm a fool for your love



Don't come closer

You know I'm easy to phone

You don't love me

Any fool can see

I'm telling you goodbye

Bye, bye



Leave me alone, please

My heart can't take anymore

Leave me alone, please

Let me walk out that door

Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone



I don't wanna be around

For that famous final scene

I just can't help myself

I'm a fool for your love



I'm a fool for your love

I'm a fool for your love

Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone

A fool for your love

I'm a fool for your love

Leave me alone, please

My heart can't take it no more

Leave me alone, leave me alone

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - I Don't Get It

Breaking away to the other side

I wanna make sense of why we live and die

I don't get it, I don't get it



I ask my friends if they understand

They just laugh at me and watch another band

They don't worry, they don't worry



Lookin' for a way to lose my load

I wanna make it easy to walk this road

I can't find it, yeah I can't find it



Yeah, I'm looking for answers in so many places

I open my mind

I don't get it



Walkin' this earth and keepin' my peace

I do what I want but the price is steep

It don't seem right, it don't seem right



My mama she told me "One step at a time

And sooner or later you'll walk that line"

I don't want to, I don't want to



Takin' my time to live and die

I wanna find a way to do it right

And I ease on, and I ease on



They say "One thing always leads to another"

I open my mind

I don't get it



Breaking away to the other side

I wanna make sense of why we live and die

I don't get it, I don't get it

I don't get it, I don't get it

I don't get it

DAVID CROSBY lyrics - Thousand Roads

(David Crosby)



Well, I used to walk around with my eyes on fire



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Well I used to walk around with my eyes on fire

My nerves real close to my skin

Had a fist full of questions a brand on my cheek

And we would skate where the ice got thin



And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on a hilltop

Smoke blowin' down in the street

Some kind of sweet smellin' mystical backdrop

To the story unfolding at my feet



There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air

There's an edge to the twist of a knife

There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there

Just around the corner from life



And I have no answers

I got no patented path to set you free

Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go

And it's probably not the same place as me



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost in a minute if you try

And it's probably enough that I was laughing today

And lookin' this close in your eye



I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost if you try

It's probably enough that I was laughing today, yeah

Looking this close in your eye, in your eye

In your eye



[Instrumental Ending (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]

LOU REED lyrics - Senselessly Cruel

When I was p poor young boy at school

Girls like you always played me for a fool

But now a time has come to lay to waste

The theory people have of getting an acquired taste

You treated me oooh, so senselessly cruel

Oh, oh, baby, you were so senselessly cruel



From the beginnings I suspected the worst

And you didn't disappoint me

It was just that you were the first

Now, I wouldn't let you touch me if you were within a foot

And girl, I'm never ever gonna get hurt

'Causu you treated me oooh, so senselessly cruel

Oooh, so senselessly cruel, oooh, so senselessly cruel...

WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - Run To You

I know that when you look at me

There's so much that you just don't see

But if you would only take the time

I know in my heart you'd find

A girl who's scared sometimes

Who isn't always strong

Can't you see the hurt in me?

I feel so all alone



I wanna run to you (oooh)

I wanna run to you (oooh)

Won't you hold me in your arms

And keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you (oooh)

But if I come to you (oooh)

Tell me, will you stay or will you run away



Each day, each day I play the role

Of someone always in control

But at night I come home and turn the key

There's nobody there, no one cares for me

What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams

Without someone to share it with

Tell me what does it mean?



[chorus]



I need you here

I need you here to wipe away my tears

To kiss away my fears

If you only knew how much...



[chorus]

MORRISSEY lyrics - All You Need Is Me

You hiss and groan

And you constantly moan

But you don't ever go away

And that's because all you need is me.



You roll your eyes

Up to the skies

Mock horrified

But you're still here

All you need is me



There's so much destruction

All over the world

And all you can do is complain about me



You bang your head against the wall

And say you're sick of it all

Yet, you remain

'Cause all you need is me



And then you offer your one and only joke

And ask me "What will I be,

When I grow up to be a man"?



Me? NOTHING!



There's a soft voice

Singing in your head

Who can this be?

I do believe it's me



There's a naked man standing

Laughing in your dreams

You know who it is

But you don't like what it means



There's so much destruction

All over the world

And all you can do is complain about me



I was a small fat child in a welfare house

There was only one thing I ever dreamed about

Fate has just handed it to me



Whoopee!



You don't like me but you love me,

Either way you're wrong

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone



You don't like me but you love me,

Either way you're wrong

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

ART GARFUNKEL lyrics - Mary Was An Only Child

(Albert Hammond, Mike Hazlewood and Jorge Milchberg)



Mary was an only child,

Nobody held her, nobody smiled.

She was born in a trailer, wretched and poor,

And she shone like a gem in a five and dime store.



Mary had no friends at all,

Just famous faces pinned to the wall.

All of them watched her, none of them saw

That she shone like a gem in a five and dime store.



And if you watch the stars at night,

And find them shining equally bright,

You might have seen Jesus and not have known what you saw.

Who would notice a gem in a five and dime store?

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - No Control

Stay away from the future

Back away from the light

It's all deranged - no control

Sit tight in your corner

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



If I could control tomorrow's haze

The darkened shore wouldn't bother me

If I can't control

the web we weave

My life will be lost in the fallen leaves



Every single move's uncertain

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



I should live my life on bended knee

If I can't control my destiny

You've gotta have a scheme

You've gotta have a plan

In the world of today, for tomorrow's man



No control

Stay away from the future

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



Forbidden words, deafen me

In memory, no control

See how far a sinful man

Burns his tracks, his bloody robes



You've gotta have a scheme

You've gotta have a plan

In the world of today, for tomorrow's man

I should live my life on bended knee

If I can't control my destiny

No control I can't believe

I've no control

It's all deranged



I can't believe I've no control

It's all deranged

Deranged

Deranged

DREAM THEATER lyrics - Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding

(Elton John and Bernie Taupin)



The roses in the window box

Have tilted to one side

Everything about this house

Is gonna grow and die



Well it doesn't seem a year ago

To this very day

You said sorry honey

If I don't change the pace

I can't face another day



[Chorus:]

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

When my guitar couldn't hold you

So I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands



I wonder if those changes

Have left a scar on you

All the burning hoops of fire

That you and I passed through



You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

I hope you're happy now

While if the wind of change coming down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow



[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Love lies bleeding in my hands

TEENA MARIE lyrics - The Mackin' Game

What's my name

Say my name

(Lady to the T)

Ain't nothing but the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

(Lady to the T)

Ain't nothing but the macking game

All my macking women throw the left to the right, now

(Super fly)



Me and my girls

Throwing long hair and afros to the wind

We got a love jones, baby, kicking in

Just for you

True blue

Lights in the basement

Moaning, groaning, thuggish ruggish boning

So smooth silky and the youngblood's here

Come here, daddy

It's the pioneer group

Put the needle on the record

I've got things to do to you



So faded

All the pimps are down on me cause I want you



Don't let the feminine gestures

Make you believe I can't pimp this lecture

I'm what you call a mack professor

With volumes and macklapedias

To touch him and work her

My first word, serve

I want ice down your back, baby

To correct your posture

Cause you're much to fly, now

To walk around with your shoulders down

(What you mean?)

I want you to feel secure when I'm around

(Aw)

Now, that's macking

Oh, don't sleep

I gets down

Mack packing

This is how you tell

See how well I taught her

Ask about your four plays to dismiss being?

I'm not hating

Just enhancing your game

Incense, candles, rose pedals in the bath water, man

And one important thing

A lioness Ain't meant to be tamed

Now, baby, that's game



Jimmy's at the front door with his cousin, Greg

So I runs out the back door with my nickel bag

Up against the wall

Down the other side

Roller coaster:?

No boredom on this ride

When the hunter game gets captured by the game

Ain't it a shame

I'm going to put him on the streets

I'm going to make him say my name

(Everything you needs to know bout macking, you gots to get from me)



What's my name

Say my name

Say my name

Ain't nothing but the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

(Lady to the T)

Rewrite the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

Say my name

Ain't nothing but the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

(Lady to the T)

Ain't nothing but the macking game

All my macking women throw the left to the right, now

($45 was big money)

(With platform shoes)



Back in the day

But I got mine

Righteous time

It surely wasn't easily, easy



I got to rewrite the macking game

And it Ain't the same

Like it use to be

Back in the days

Following you in the rain

I've got a whole new strategy

Use you up

And drop you off where you have to be

And, no love

Don't take it as a tragedy

You're still the one I give the keys to my chastity

Hit you up and rub you down quite nastily

Have you calling my name

Coming right after me

You asked where did the love go

Hide and seek

We can find it on the down low

Watch me peak like an avalanche

Didn't you know

Erupt like a volcano

Watch my lava flow

I like it slow

Never in need to rush

As you pushing

I've got the Midas touch

The name is Lite

And I'm too wild to tame

Ripping down like an avalanche

With the macking game



Ripping down like an avalanche

Stings like a bee

Player, flossy floss

Baby, catch my papers

?

Just because he wants to make love to me

Doesn't mean he loves me

He thinks that I don't know that he thinks I'm fine

He thinks I don't know that he wants to blow my mind

When the hunter gets captured by the game

Ain't it a shame

(Yeah, I got a whole new strategy)

I'm going to put him on the streets

I'm going to make him say my name



What's my name

Say my name

(What's my name)

Ain't nothing but the macking game

(Say my name)

What's my name

Say my name

Ain't nothing but the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

(Say my name)

(Say my name)

Ain't nothing but the macking game

What's my name

Say my name

(I'm going to rewrite the macking game)



Somebody get De De

She's out of control

(Ooooooo)

You want me to what

Sing in your ear

That's funny

(giggle)

Fire and desire

(giggle)

Yo, busta

Why don't you go get me something to eat

Then run by the DJ booth and tell them to play that song that I like

Yeah, you know the one

By Alicia Keys

Yeah

You know my name

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Bump And Grind

Lookin' for love at the back of a taxi,

got lucky in a cheap hotel.

Hot pants, mm.. nasty.

Don't bother knockin' 'cause you know damn well.



This blind date is cash and carry,

dead ringer for the big first prize.

Chance meeting in the roaring eighties.

You ain't going home tonight.



So shake it slowly

and do that bump and grind.



Well, I can tell you a few reservations.

More value, pass the buck.

I may be wrong but I think she kinda likes ya.

Think quick or you're out of luck.



This blind date is cash and carry,

we have a winner for the big first prize.

Chance meeting in the roaring eighties.

You ain't going nowhere tonight.



Shake it slowly

and do that bump and grind.

Rotate slowly,

make it bump and grind.



Oo, I feel romantic.

Oo, I wanna let you know.

Have you ever really studied dancing

or do you make it up as you go?



Shake it slowly,

do that bump and grind.

Move it slowly

and make it bump and grind.

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Sneaky Feelings

Now everybody's breakin' up somebody else's home,

before somebody else starts breaking up their own.

I get you in my dreams.

You should hear the things you say.

I's not that it's so much fun,

but it's safer that way.

Sneaky feeling, sneaky feelings,

you can't let those kind of feeling show.

I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you,

but I've still got a long way to go.

Why don't we call it a day, and we can both confess.

You can force me to use a little tenderness.

White lies, alibis, anything but say that it's true.

Now we could sit like lovers, staring in each other's eyes,

but the magic of the moment might become too much for you.

Sneaky feeling, sneaky feelings,

you can't let those kind of feeling show.

I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you,

FREE lyrics - Goodbye

(Fraser / Kossoff / Rodgers)



Goodbye

I hope we meet again

Goodbye

Is this how it's got to end

But we've come to the end of our road together

Made a stand that's gonna last forever

Brother tell me what you're gonna do



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Will you take the fast train out of town

To get back home



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Oh brother

You're out on your own



Goodbye

Is this how it's got to be

Call by we can rap over tea

We've come to the end of our road together

Made a stand that's gonna last forever

Brother won't you tell me what you're gonna do



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Will you take the fast train out of town

To get back home



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Oh brother, now that you're out on your own



We learned a lot from each other

That's how we came to be brothers

Brother won't you tell me what your problem is

Oh and

Don't waste your time on hate

Can be used in better ways

Remember the time and better days



Goodbye

I hope we meet again

But the good times

Will always remain

But we've come to the end

Of our road together

We made a stand that's gonna last forever

Brother tell me what you're gonna do



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Will you take the fast train out of town

To get back home

Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Oh you're out on your own



Now will you take the high road

Or will you take the low road

The fast train out of town

To get back home



Will you take the high road

Will you take the low road

Oh brother you're out on your own

Out on your own

Out on your own

Out on your own

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - Takin' Chances

(Lestley R. Pierce & Frankie Blue)



I like walkin' in the

park late at night

tryin' to run my motor down

everybody says I live a dangerous life

I've got to get ahead somehow

out here on the street just tryin' to get my own

don't tell me what you think you know

ooh, most people spend their time at home alone

just waitin' for a check that won't show



[Chorus:]

takin' chances

no risk, no gain

takin' chances

I really don't mind the pain

takin' chances

if you only knew

takin' chances

it's all for the love of you



I don't like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)

cause once you start you'll never stop

one advantage to doing things my own way

I'll always end up on top



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

I've got to do it right, ooh I've got to

I've got to live my life the way I want to

I'm high up on a wire, don't wanna ever come down

and if I fall I've got to fly



[Chorus]

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Come See About Me

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



I've been crying

'Cause I'm lonely (for you)

Smiles have all turned to tears

But tears won't wash away the fears

That you're never ever gonna return

To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you

Keeps me sighin' baby for you

So won't you hurry?

Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)

See about you baby



I've given up my friends just for you

My friends are gone

And you have too

No peace shall I find

Until you come back

And be mine

No matter what you do or say

I'm gonna love you anyway



Keep on crying baby for you

I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you

So come on hurry Come on and see about me (Come see about me)

See about you baby



Sometime's up

Sometime's down

My life's so uncertain

With you not around

From my arms you maybe out of reach

But my heart says you're here to keep



Keeps me crying baby for you

Keep on, keep on crying baby for you

So won't you hurry

Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)

See about you baby (Come see about me)

You know I'm so lonely (Come see about me)

I love you only (Come see about me)

See about your baby (Come see about me)

Hurry, hurry

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - Working Class Hero

[Originally by John Lennon]



As soon as your born they make you feel small,

By giving you no time instead of it all,

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,

A working class hero is something to be,



They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,

They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,

A working class hero is something to be,



When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,

Then they expect you to pick a career,

When you can't really function you're so full of fear,

A working class hero is something to be,



Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,

And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,

But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,

A working class hero is something to be,

A working class hero is something to be.



There's room at the top they are telling you still,

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,

If you want to be like the fool on the hill,

A working class hero is something to be.

A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero, well just follow me

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Bandit

Turnin' the pages

In this old book

Seems familiar

Might be worth a second look



Wrappin' up dope in a paper bag

Talkin' to yourself

Takin' a drag

Who are you kidding

With what you say?

What does it matter?

They'll never hear it anyway



Got to get past

The negative thing

The lawyers and business

You get what you bring

No one's sorry

You did it yourself

It's time to relax now

And then give it hell



Someday you'll find

What you're lookin' for

Someday you'll find

What you're lookin' for



You didn't bet on the Dodgers

To beat the Giants

Then David came up

Now you gotta pay up

You didn't count on that



Geez half the money's gone

The month is still young

Where you gonna go now?

Things are closin' in



Got to trust someone

Trust someone

Someone you trust

Got to be careful

Be careful



You can't go to your brother

That money's all gone

Can't go to your friends



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're lookin' for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're lookin' for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're lookin' for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're lookin' for

Yeah



Made out like a bandit

For so many years

What are you workin' for?

One more big score?

What are you tryin' to prove?



Try to get closer

But not too close

Try to get through

But not be through



No one can touch you now

But i can touch you now

You're invisible

You got too many secrets

Bob Dylan said that

Somethin' like that



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're looking for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're looking for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're looking for



Someday

You'll find

Everything you're looking for

Yeah

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Cherry, Cherry

Baby loves me, yes, yes she does

Ah, the girl's outta sight, yeah

Says she loves me, yes, yes she does

Mmm, gonna show me tonight, yeah



Hey, she got the way to move me,

Cherry

(She got the way to groove me)

Cherry, baby

She got the way to move me

Tell your mama, girl, I can't stay long

We got things we gotta catch up on

Mmm, you know

You know what I'm sayin'

Can't stand still while the music is playin'

Ah, to be so exciting

Won't need bright lights, no, no we won't

Gonna make our own lightning



Hey, she got the way to move me

Cherry

(She got the way to groove me)

Cherry, baby

She got the way to move me

(She got the way to groove me)



No, we won't tell a soul where we gone to

Girl, we do whatever we want to

Ah, I love the way that you do me

Cherry, babe, you really get to me



Hey, she got the way to move me,

Cherry

(She got the way to groove me)

Cherry, baby

She got the way to move me

(She got the way to groove me)

Cherry....

B. B. KING lyrics - Little By Little

(Blakemore)



Baby, out all night

Until the break of day

Snap me up in everything I say

Little by little

Only you know that I can see

Bit by bit

Your love is slipping away from me



What you're doing, baby

You know it ain't right

I wonder what you're doing

That takes all night

Little by little

Only you know that I can see

Bit by bit

Your love is slipping away from me



Get so disgusted

When I try to kiss you

I just don't feel

Like I used to do

Little by little

Only you know that I can see

Bit by bit

Your love is slipping away from me



Tried to trail you last night

Baby, in my car

But I'm scared I might see

What I'm looking for

Little by little

Only you know that I can see

Bit by bit

Your love is slipping away from me

TERESA BREWER lyrics - Bo Weevil

On Saturday night

Where I was born

Down on the farm

Guitar plinkin'

And we started singin'

Till the break of dawn



About twelve o'clock

Everything gets hot

Up steps Bob Jones

We started clappin'

And he started singin'

Sweet little country songs



Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil

Where ya been all day

Your Mama's been lookin'

Hasn't stopped lookin'

Since you went away



Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil

Why did you go and stay

You'll get a lickin'

As sure as I'm sittin'

On this bale of hay



(Bo Weevil, Weevil)

(Do-do-do-do-do-do)

(Bo Weevil, Weevil)

Do-do-do-do-do)

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Harder Than Your Husband

We must say good-bye

There's no need for you to cry

It's better that I tell you this tonight

Our affair has been quite heated

You thought I was what you needed

But the time has come, my darlin'

To set things right, 'cause



I'll be harder than yer husband

To get along with

Harder than yer husband every night

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer husband

An' I don't want our love affair

To end with a fight



You been like a little angel

How you loved me

I appreciate the warmth of your embrace

Well, the world don't need to know

How I adored you

But there's somethin' I must tell you, darlin'

Face to face. . .



I'll be harder than yer husband

To get along with

Harder than yer husband every night

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer husband

An' I don't want our love affair

To end with a fight



So, it's adios, adios, my little darlin'

(Adios my little darlin'. . .)

Gotta go now. . .

Keep that hankie that I gave you for when you cry

There are things that trouble me

And I'm sure that you must see

That it breaks my heart the same as yours

When we say good-bye



Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer. . .much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer. . .much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer.. .much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer.. .

DON HENLEY lyrics - Building The Perfect Beast

(Don Henley and Danny Kortchmar)



The power of reason, the top of the heap

We're the ones who can kill the things we don't eat

Sharper than a serpent's tongue

Tighter than a bongo drum

Quicker than a one-night stand

Slicker than a mambo band



And now the day is come

Soon he will be released

Glory Hallelujah!

We're building the Perfect Beast

(Building, building, etc.)



It's Olympus this time-Olympus or bust

For we have met the enemy-and he is us



And now the day is come

Soon he will be released

Glory Hallelujah!

We're building the Perfect Beast

(Building, building, etc.)



Ever since we crawled out of the ocean and stood upright on land

There are some things that we just don't understand:

Relive all the pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark

Turn us all into Methuselah-

But where are we gonna park?

(Building, building, etc.)



The secrets of eternity-

We've found the lock and turned the key

We're shakin' up those building blocks

Going deeper into that box - (Pandora wouldn't like it)



And now the day is come

Soon he will be released

Glory Hallelujah!

We're building the Perfect Beast

(Building, building)
