JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Otis And Marlena

Marlena under Foster Grants

She's undercover from the dawns advance

That girl is travel-drained

And the neon mercury vapor stained

Miami sky

It's red as meat

It's a cheap pink rose

Otis in the driver's seat

Watches the street lights fade away

On louvered blocks in green sea air

In fluorescent fossil yards

Slippers are shuffling into folding chairs

Freckled hands are shuffling cards



They've come for fun and sun

While Muslims stick up Washington...



Otis empties out the trunk

On the steps of that celebrated dump

Sleazing by the sea

Bow down to her royal travesty-

In her ballrooms heads of state-

In her bedrooms rented girls-

Always the grand parades of cellulite

Jiggling to her golden pools

Through flock and cupid colonnades

They jiggle into surgery

Hopefully beneath the blade

They dream of golden beauty...



They've come for fun and sun

While Muslims stick up Washington...



Marlena, white as stretcher sheet

Watches it all from her 10th floor balcony

Like it's her opera box

All those Pagliacci summer frocks

Otis is fiddling with the TV dial

All he gets are cartoons and reruns

She taps her glass with an emery file

Watching three rings in the sun

The golden dive, the fatted flake

And sizzle in the mink oil

It's all a dream

She has awake

Checked into Miami Royal

Where they've come for fun and sun

While Muslims hold up Washington...

Dream on

Dream on

Dream on

Dream on

Dream on

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Living On The Island

Day by day they drink and dream,

Old men staring out to sea,

From the island, living on the island;



And down in the harbour, it's a show,

Watching all the people as they come and go,

On the island, living on the island;



And up in the mountains, they're alright,

Tasting the first of the summer wine,

On the island, living on the island; I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,

And let it blow my worries away,

I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her, That little lady lover who's in love with me,

Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,

On the island, living on the island...



Ooh, and when I finally sail away,

I know for sure I'll be back someday,

On the island, living on the island,

On the island, living on the island,

I wanna feel that sunshine on my back,

On the island, living on the island,

On the island, we'll be living on the island,

I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair,

Living on the island...

ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Take These Chains From My Heart

Take these chains from my heart and set me free

You've grown cold and no longer care for me

All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on

Take these chains from my heart and set me free



Take these tears from my eyes and let me see

Just a spark of the love that used to be

If you love somebody new let me find a new love too

Take these chains from my heart and set me free



Give my heart just a word of sympathy

Be as fair to my heart as you can be

And then if you no longer care for the love that's being there

Take these chains from my heart and set me free



Take these chains from my heart and set me free

You've grown cold and no longer care for me

All my faith in you is gone but the heartache linger on

Take these chains from my heart and set me free

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Rose Of My Heart

(Hugh Moffat)



We're the best partners this world's ever seen,

Together as close as can be.

Sometimes it's hard to find time in between,

To tell you what you are to me.



You are the rose of my heart,

You are the love of my life.

A flower not fading nor falling apart,

If you're tired, rest your head on my arm.

Rose of my heart.



When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay,

It's rain drops that fall from your eyes.

Your smile's like the sun come to earth for a day,

You brighten my blackest of skies.



You are the rose of my heart,

You are the love of my life.

A flower not fading nor falling apart,

If you're cold, let my love make you warm.

Rose of my heart.



So hard times or easy times, what do I care,

There's nothing I'd change if I could.

The tears and the laughter are things that we share,

Your hand in mine makes all times good.



You are the rose of my heart,

You are the love of my life.

A flower not fading nor falling apart,

You're my harbor in life's restless storm. Rose of my heart.



Rose of my heart.

U2 lyrics - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

You're dangerous 'cause you're honest

You're dangerous, you don't know what you want

Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot

For any spirit to haunt



Hey hey sha la la

Hey hey



You're an accident waiting to happen

You're a piece of glass left there on the beach

Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to

Then you leave me just out of reach



Hey hey sha la la

Hey hey sha la la



Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea

Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee



Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash

And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge

Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to

Baby, can we still be friends



Hey hey sha la la

Hey hey sha la la



Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea

Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee



Oh, the deeper I spin

Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin

Took a drive in the dirty rain

To a place where the wind calls your name

Under the trees the river laughing at you and me

Hallelujah, heavens white rose

The doors you open

I just can't close



Don't turn around, don't turn around again

Don't turn around, your gypsy heart

Don't turn around, don't turn around again

Don't turn around, and don't look back

Come on now love, don't you look back



Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea

Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses

Who's gonna take the place of me



Who's gonna ride your wild horses

Who's gonna tame the heart of thee

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Round Midnight

(Cootie Williams, Bernard D. Hanighen, Theolonious S. Monk)



It begins to tell,

'round midnight, midnight.

I do pretty well, till after sundown,

Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;

But it really gets bad,

'round midnight.



Memories always start 'round midnight

Haven't got the heart to stand those memories,

When my heart is still with you,

And ol' midnight knows it, too.



When a quarrel we had needs mending,

Does it mean that our love is ending.

Darlin' I need you, lately I find

You're out of my heart,

And I'm out of my mind.



Let our hearts take wings'

'round midnight, midnight

Let the angels sing,

For your returning.



Till our love is safe and sound.

And old midnight comes around.

Feelin' sad,

Really gets bad

Round.....Round.......Round....Mid.....night....

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - My Heart Cries For You

My heart cries for you

Sighs for you, dies for you

And my arms long for you

Please come back to me



If you're in Arizona I'll follow you

If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too

You'll have a million chances to start anew

Because my love is endless for you



My heart cries for you

Sighs for you, dies for you

My arms long for you

Please come back to me



The bloom has left the roses since you left me

The birds have left my window since you left me

I'm lonely as a sailboat that's lost at sea

I'm lonely as a human can be



My heart cries for you, please come back to me

An unimportant quarrel is what we had

We have to learn to live with the good and the bad

Together we were happy, apart we're sad

This loneliness is driving me mad



My heart cries for you, dies for you

My arms long for you

Please come back to me

(Come back to me)

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - It's Too Late Now

Remember how lonely I told you it would be

Without you here with me

But you just turned and walked away

And now that I've found somebody new

You've changed your tune

You want me back but all I can say



[Chorus:]

It's too late now

Just tell me how long did you think

I'd be your fool

And I would sit right here an' wait

For you to make up

Your mind to show up

Well, just turn around

I'm sorry it's too late now



Well didn't I tell you that one of these days

It would be too late

To say you'd made a big mistake

And now you've come back like you've never been gone

Well baby you're wrong

Somebody else has taken your place



[Chorus]

HAWKWIND lyrics - Rocky Paths

(H. Lloyd-Langton / M. Lloyd-Langton)



Rocky paths winding round the inspiration is to be found

Following us now with sound coming from earthy ground

Keepin' up an open mind, in everyone you'll find.

A part to help you climb, the walls built up by time.

Never close yourself to more, learn we can, that's for sure,

and it isn't hard to endure a heart that has an open door.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Pretty Peggy-O

I've been around this whole country

But I never yet found Fenneario.



Well, as we marched down, as we marched down

Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'

Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O



Well, what will your mother say, what will your mother say

What will your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O

What will your mother say to know you're going away

You're never, never, never coming back-io?



Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs

Come a-running down your stairs, Pretty Peggy-O

Come a-running down your stairs

Combing back your yellow hair

You're the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io.



The lieutenant he has gone

The lieutenant he has gone

The lieutenant he has gone, Pretty Peggy-O

The lieutenant he has gone, long gone

He's a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo.



Well, our captain he is dead, our captain he is dead

Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O

Well, our captain he is dead, died for a maid

He's buried somewhere in Louisiana-O.

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Precious Memories

(Traditional)



As I travel down life's pathway

Know not what the years may hold

As I ponder, hope grows fonder

Precious memories flood my soul



Precious father, loving mother

Glide across the lonely years

And old home's scenes of my childhood

Infond memories appears



Precious memories, how they linger

How they ever flood my soul

In the stillness of the midnight

Precious sacred scenes unfold

CAT STEVENS lyrics - Portobello Road

Getting hung up all day on smiles

Walking down portobello road for miles

Greeting strangers in indian boots,

Yellow ties and old brown suits

Growing old is my only danger



Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks

Lampshades of old antique leather

Nothing looks weird, not even a beard

Or the boots made out of feathers



I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel

A broom beneath my feet

Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street



Nothing's the same if you see it again

It'll be broken down to litter

Oh, and the clothes everyone knows

That dress will never fit her



Getting hung up all day on smiles

Walking down portobello road for miles

Greeting strangers in indian boots,

Yellow ties and old brown suits

Growing old is my only danger



Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks

Lampshades of old antique leather

Nothing looks weird, not even a beard

Or the boots made out of feathers



I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel

A broom beneath my feet

Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street



Nothing's the same if you see it again

It'll be broken down to litter

Oh, and the clothes everyone knows

That dress will never fit her



Getting hung up all day on smiles

Walking down portobello road for miles

Greeting strangers in indian boots,

Yellow ties and old brown suits

Growing old is my only danger

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - A New Life

At night it hits me cold

There's so much more to life than I'll every know

I look around and I realise

it's time to make a move though you don't sympathise

Stars collect overhead

They look down over China and I might as well be dead

Cars pass on through the night

How do you get to heaven if you never try?



New life, new love

Where's the heart I was dreaming of?

I need a new hope, new dream

another part in a different scene



Make a firm decision it's time to go

That's for you to find out and for me to know

No more hard times or petty crimes

Forget that life I have left behind

The night goes by

leaving you behind me as I fly

then rise the daylight sky

How do you get to heaven if you never try?



New life, new love

Where's the heart I was dreaming of?

I need a new hope, new dream

another part in a different scene



A new life, it's so hard to find

A new love, it's so hard to find



The night goes by

leaving you behind me as I fly

then rise the daylight sky

How do you get to heaven if you never try?



New life, new love

Where's the heart I was dreaming of?

I need a new hope, new dream

another part in a different scene

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Mi Ranchito

(Felipe Valdez Leal)



Alla al pie de la montana

Donde temprano se oculta el sol

Quedo mi ranchito triste

Y abandonada ya mi labor



Ahi me pase los anos

Ahi encontre mi primer amor

Y fueron los desenganos

Los que mataron a mi ilusion



Ay... Corazon que te vas

Para nunca volver... No me digas adios

Vuelve a alegrar con tu amor

El ranchito que fue

De mi vida ilusion



Mal haya los ojos negros

Que me embrujaron con su mirar

Si nunca me hubieran visto

No fueran causa de mi penar





[My Little Ranch]



Far away

At the foot of the mountain

Where the sun hides early

My sad little ranch is still there

My work abandoned



There, I passed the years

There, I found my first love

There, were the betrayals

The ones that killed my illusions



Oh heart

You left me

Don't tell me goodbye

Come back

To cheer up the little ranch

That was once my whole life's dream



Wicked one

Your black eyes bewitched me with their look

If I'd never seen them

They wouldn't have caused me such pain

BAD RELIGION lyrics - You Don't Belong

Hey you

Is there something worth aspiring to

And can it be found in a record store

Well it's not there anymore

Just think of all the things we did

We were different

Just like all the other kids



Missy was a teen blue video star

Tom took his life in his mother's car

Milo went to college but you knew about that

Rodney played our record

GG started riots

Laurie was always quiet

She was battling depression



Hey you

Is there something worth belonging to

And can I pick it up for a song

Or a diploma or a worthy cause

Well let me tell you that there's nothing wrong

It's just that ones like us will never belong



Jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap

Billy went to county on a class one possession

Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack

Eugene kept a list

Mugger was security

Mary she kept her purity

We were all in it together



Yellowed postcards on the wall

Serve to cover up a blankness after all

So I will carry them along

Like a song when I'm gone yeah



Hey you

Is there something worth belonging to

You know we've been here all along

Like a confederacy of the wrong

And I confess it could be prejudice

But to you I dedicate this song

Yeah to you

BOB SEGER lyrics - Beautiful Loser

He wants to dream like a young man

With the wisdom of an old man

He wants his home and security

He wants to live like a sailor at sea



Beautiful loser

Where you gonna fall?

When you realize, you just can't have it all



He's your oldest and your best friend

If you need him, he'll be there again

He's always willing to be second-best

A perfect lodger, a perfect guest



Beautiful loser

Read it on the wall

And realize

You just can't have it all



You just can't have it all

You just can't have it all

Ohh, ohh, can't have it all



You can try, you can try, but you can't have it all

oh yeah



He'll never make any enemies, enemies, no

He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze

He'll always ask, he'll always say please



Beautiful loser

Never take it all

'Cause it's easier

And faster when you fall



You just don't need it all

You just don't need it all

You just don't need it all

Just don't need it all

FREE lyrics - All Right Now

(Fraser / Rodgers)



Whoa-oh-oh-oh-woha

There she stood in the street

Smilin' from her head to her feet;



I said, "Hey, what is this?

Now maybe, baby,

Maybe she's in need of a kiss."



I said, "Hey, what's your name?

Maybe we can see things the same.



"Now don't you wait, or hesitate.

Let's move before they raise the parking rate."



All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.

All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.



(Let me tell you now)

I took her home to my place,

Watchin' every move on her face;



She said, "Look, what's your game?

Are you tryin' to put me to shame?"



I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"



She said, "Love, Lord above,

Now you're tryin' to trick me in love."



All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.

All right now, baby, it's a-all right now

SANDRA lyrics - All You Zombies

[Originally by The Hooters]



Holy Moses met the Pharaoh

Yeah, he tried to set him straight

Looked him in the eye, "Let my people go."



Holy Moses on the mountain

High above the golden calf

Went to get the Ten Commandments

He's just gonna break them in half



All you zombies hide your faces

All you people in the street

All you sittin' in high places

The pieces gonna fall on you



No one ever spoke to Noah

They all laughed at him instead

Working on his ark, working all by himself



Only Noah saw it coming

Forty days and forty nights

Took his sons and daughters with him

Yeah, they were the Israelites



All you zombies hide your faces

All you people in the street

All you sittin' in high places

The rain's gonna fall on you



Holy Father, what's the matter

Where have all your children gone

Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves

You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies show your faces...

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - California Promises

Beneath the moonlit sky

Shadows walk beside the water

Sad goodbyes whispered on the shore

Hear those wind chimes play

They serenade the shadow lovers

Sing and fade away

Like California promises



I will never love another

Wait for me 'til I return

But she never will

He waits for her beside the water

Faithful still to California promises.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Why Does The Sun Really Shine?

The sun is a miasma

Of incandescent plasma

The sun's not simply made out of gas

No, no, no



The sun is a quagmire

It's not made of fire

Forget what you've been told in the past



(Plasma!)

Electrons are free

(Plasma!)

Fourth state of matter

Not gas, not liquid, not solid



The sun isn't a red dwarf

I hope it never morphs

Into a supernova'd collapsed orb

Orb, orb, orb



The sun is a miasma

Of incandescent plasma

I forget what I was told by myself

Elf, elf, elf



(Plasma!)

Electrons are free

(Plasma!)

Fourth state of matter

Not gas, not liquid, not solid



(Plasma!)

Forget that song

(Plasma!)

They got it wrong

That thesis has been rendered invalid

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - I Don't Care

(Bobby Hart and Wes Farrell)



I don't care where you've been before and I don't care what you've done

Just care that you're here with me and I'm the one

I don't care if you've known a hundred others in the past

I don't care if I'm not the first, I just want to be the last



Leave your pride right outside

Come on in

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care where you've been



I know some folks would rather talk than lend a helping hand

Throw stones at anything, they don't understand

They can't hurt you anymore if we don't let them in

Wear a smile and in a while that sun's right back again



Here's the sun we've just begun

Brand new day

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care what they say



I don't care if they say you've never been a lady

I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady

I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby



So let them put you down, I won't march in that parade

I don't want to hear about mistakes you might have made

I don't have the time to keep my mind on yesterday

I don't have the time to play the games those people play

Throw away yesterday

Come on in

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care where you've been



I don't care if they say you've never been a lady

I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady

I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby

RUSH lyrics - Need Some Love

I'm runnin' here, I'm runnin' there,

I'm lookin' for a girl.

'Cause there's nothin' I need, there's nothin' I want more

In the whole wide world.

Well, I need it quick and I need it now

Before I start to fade away

That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin'

Each and ev'ry day.

Chorus

Ooh, I need some love.

I said I need some love!

Oo yes, I need some love.

This feelin' I can't rise above.

Oo, yeah yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here, I been hustlin' there.

I been searchin' for about a week.

And I started feelin' this strange sensation.

My knees are startin' gettin' weak.

Well I need what keeps a young man alive;

I'm sayin' I need it now.

I'm gonna get the message across to you

Some way, somehow.

Chorus

ANTHRAX lyrics - N. F.B. (Dallabnikufesin)

(Anthrax)



We fell in love at first sight

I can't explain the feelings

When I first saw you

We were so happy

A life of love sweet holly child

You'll always be mine

But then I played the fool

I never meant to hurt you

Or sleep with your friends

We reconciled we found ourselves

Our love was meant to be

Oh, baby can't you see

You left me standing in the mind

Crying to myself

A heart so full of pain

But we full in love again

This time forever true love prevails over all

She got hit by a truck

ROGER HODGSON lyrics - For Every Man

For every man who has a dream

There's a light that's rarely seen

Within a world where all is greed, all is lies



For every child who lies awake

And hopes that dawn will never break

Tobe alone, to be afraid but never cry



Where is the love, where is the fire

We used to share, we used to live

Where is the hope, where is the flame

We used to feel, we used to give

Where is the man who says

He never wants to dream, wants to live



For every man who feels alone

Working fingers to the bone

I have a voice, I still yearn and I still cry



It's notthe singer, it's the song

Strikes the chord in everyone

And makes us dance, makes us sing,

Makes us fly



Where is the love, where is the fire

We used to share, we used to live

Where is the hope, where is the flame

We used to feel, we used to give

Were is the man who says

He never wants to dream, wants to live



Where is the love, ...



For every man



"There's nothing that we know,

just watch the magic flow

MEAT LOAF lyrics - Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)

When the wind is howling through your window pane,

it's not the only pain of the night

You're burning up in your bed, you've got a fever of love,

and there's not an antibody in sight



Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying?

There's a beauty of a moon in the sky

But I guess when you've been leadin such a sheltered life,

you never lift your head and look so high



You don't have a lot

But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems

Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,

and imagine every inch of your dream



No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now

It ain't right, it ain't fair

Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,

and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

Somebody told me so

Somebody told me, now I know

Every night in my prayer,

I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere



When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark,

and you're desperate now for somewhere to turn

Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge,

and every limb has been erotic'ly burned



Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking,

when a boy should do whatever he can

You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life,

and now you wonder what it's like to be damned



You don't have a lot

But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems

Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,

and imagine every inch of your dream



No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you've been wanting to feel now

It ain't right, it ain't fair

Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,

and the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere

Good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere

Somebody told me so

Somebody told me, now I know

Every night in my prayer,

I'll be praying that the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere



Every time I try and dream you,

I can't believe how hard it's been to conjure up your face and trace your body in the air

Oh the seconds go on for ever, but the thirds and the fourth ones are even better

Every time I do it just a little bit longer

Every time I dream it's just a little bit stronger, than real life



No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now

It ain't right, it ain't fair

Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,

and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere

Somebody told me so

Somebody told me, now I know

Every night in my prayer,

I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere



Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere



Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - So Long, So Wrong

(Patrick Brayer-Walden Dahl)



I know I'll be lonesome

That brings about a little fear

I know I'll be sad and I'll be blue

I have given the best of me

When I forgot to say to you

What you forgot to say to me

So long, so wrong



I have tried and cared, baby, it was never enough

In your mind I never had a clue

So I'll repave the same old road I'm on

Where I forgot to say to you

What you forgot to say to me

So long, so wrong



Did we take forever in vain

Into the past

Did we think forever was really gonna last



You have tired me with your wanting ways

You can't buy yourself to be complete

I have given up caring anymore

Once you were big in a world that's small

And now you're all alone



Have we taken forever in vain

Into the past

Did we think forever was really gonna last

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Rivers Of Ice

Don't need the money nothing can buy

All that I feel under the skies

Shadows were falling my heart beat inside

We walk through the fields to the rivers of ice

Days turn to colour and darkness to light

She said I want you I need you I want you in my life

Love in the shadows the blood rushed inside

Carry on little saviour to the end of the line



I get high for ever

Till the river runs dry for every

Ooh for ever



It's been so many years now I still can't forget

Love flew like an eagle in God's wilderness

Shadows were falling oh my heart beat inside

We kissed on the bridge above the river of ice



I get high for ever

The river runs dry for ever

I get high for ever

The river runs dry for ever



Ooh she tells me

Ooh she tells me



Tell the end of the line



Shadows were falling

On rivers of ice

ROD STEWART lyrics - The Wild Horse

(R. Stewart/A. Taylor)



Born and raised

In a motel in New Orleans

I ran away

with a hobo and his gypsy friends

We rode a freight train up to Cleveland

Across the Utah plains

Proud men, troubadours torn and frayed

Sleeping under the stars

While gently strumming guitars

Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie

And the open road

I knew right then I could never go home



Cause the wild horse runs free forever

Oh yeah, a wild horse runs free forever

And ever and ever



I met a girl

From a family of position and wealth

What a hand

this rambler had been finally dealt

A beauty six years and ten

I felt the walls closing in

Like a swollen river

Bout to overflow

Like a losing gambler I kept on rolling



And a wild horse runs free forever

Yeah yeah yeah

A wild horse runs free forever

The wild horse runs free forever

Yeah yeah yeah

A wild horse runs free forever



Play the guitar



So understand I must go

But I'll drink you one last toast

Oh here's to the heart

and the hands of a man

That come with the dust

and are gone with the wind



May the wild horse run free forever

yeah the wild horse runs free forever

The wild horse runs free forever

Yeah the wild horse run free forever



Wild guitar, baby, come on, wild

I know, I know, I know, I know

Play it for me, come on.

Yeah, hit it. Yeah yeah. Let me hear it, yeah.



The wild horse run free...

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Incomplete

mother, father, look at your little monster,

I'm a hero, I'm a zero,

I'm the butt of the worst joke in history,

I'm a lock without a key,

a city with no door, a prayer without faith,

a show without a score,

I'm a bad word, a wink, a nod, a shiver,

an untold story, sex without fury,

a creeping gray memory,

I am incomplete....incomplete....incomplete....incomplete



doctor, cure me; what is the cause of my condition,

this madness shoots me,

like bullets smashing glass in a silent movie,

I'm a trap without a spring,

a temple with no god,

a jack without an ace,

the tip of your tongue,

I'm a promise, an unmailed letter,

an unbuilt motor, deck without a joker,

a creeping gray memory

I am incomplete....incomplete....incomplete....incomplete



tell Saint Peter not to bet on me,

I got a naked obsession,

a good intention gone bad,

I am incomplete....incomplete....incomplete....incomplete

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Why Don't You Dance

Why can I still see

Out on the floor

You shimmy and shake it

And we head for the door

Then we take a ride naked

There was no need to fake it



Moving like a mountain

(Moving like a mountain)

You're my little wild one

(You're my little wild one)

Coming like a fountain

(Coming like a fountain)

What happened to that big fun

(What happened to that big fun)



Shake it

Oh there she goes drifting across the floor

Don't you shimmy, don't you shake

Don't you



Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?



What happened to the wide eyed girl

Who wanted a piece of my soul



Remember that Friday

I saw you with that sinner

He stood up and held out his hand

Just like a winner

I said if you take my hand to shake it

I'll take your face and break it



I think I saw you crying

(I think I saw you crying)

You walked out with that big gun

(You walked out with that big gun)

Nights when I'm not lying

(Nights when I'm not lying)

I miss my little wild one

(I miss my little wild one)



Oh baby I remember how you'd

Shiver to my touch

Don't you shake

Don't you shimmy, baby



Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?



Oh step back in time

And see that scene again

Let's dance again

Baby..oh baby...



Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?



Why

Don't you

Dance



Don't you dance

Why don't you dance?

Why

Don't you

Dance



Moving like a mountain

(Moving like a mountain)

You're my little wild one

(You're my little wild one)

Coming like a fountain

(Coming like a fountain)

What happened to that big fun

(What happened to that big fun)



Shake it

Oh there she goes drifting across the floor

Don't you shimmy, don't you shake

Don't you



Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?



Why don't you shake baby you

Why don't you baby



Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Why don't you dance?

Anymore....

THE EXCITERS lyrics - Tell Him

(Bert Russell)



I know something about love

You've gotta want it bad

If that guys got into your blood

Go out and get him

If you want him to be

The very thought of you

Make you want to breathe

Here's the thing to do



[Chorus]

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now



I know something about love, you gotta show it and

Make him see the moon up above

Go out and get him

If you want him to be always by your side

If you want him to only think of you



[Chorus]

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now



Ever since the world began, it's been that way for man

And women were created to make love their destiny

Then why should true love be so complicated, oh yeah?



I know something about love

You gotta take his hand

Show him what the world is made of

One kiss will prove it

If you want him to be always by your side

Take his hand tonight, swallow your foolish pride



[Chorus]

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now



Oh, you have to go now

(Tell him that you're never gonna leave him) oh, yeah

(Tell him that you're always gonna love him) yeah

(Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now)



Don't you let him go, now

(Tell him that you're never gonna leave him) oh, yeah

(Tell him that you're always gonna love him) yeah

(Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now)



[Fade]

Just take his hand in yours and tell him

TONY BANKS lyrics - Diamonds Aren't So Hard

(And diamonds aren't so hard to find)



Don't let it bring you down

Your woman's gone and left you

The taxman's here he's knocking on your door - oh



Don't let it bring you down

Your brand new house is burning

They're dumping toxic waste in your backyard - oh

Your next door neighbour's gone and won the pools

The life's so bad you wish that it was all over - over



You and I

Could leave this all behind

Dream a little

Leave ourselves behind



Come with me

Where dragons rule the air

And diamonds aren't so hard to find

And come what may

Heroes never fail

And time stands still

No matter if you're young or old



Don't let it bring you down

Nothing lasts for ever

Even female movie stars grow old - oh



We try to break the rules and never age

We try so hard but everything's in vain

Then one day you wake and find that it's all over - over



You and I

Could leave this all behind

Dream a little

Leave ourselves behind



Come with me

Where dragons rule the air

And diamonds aren't so hard to find

And come what may

Heroes never fail

And time stands still

No matter if you're young or old



So come with me

Where dragons rule the air

And diamonds aren't so hard to find...

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by the window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

To carry my mother away



Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky



Lord I told that undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For that body you're a haulin'

Lord I hate to see her go



Well I followed close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her in that grave.



I went back home Lord that home was lonesome

Since my mother, she was gone

All my brothers and sisters crying

What a home so sad and alone.



One by one the seats were emptied

One by one they went away

Now that family they are parted

Will they meet again some day.



I was singing with my sisters

I was singing with my friends

And we all can, sing together

'cause the circle never ends

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Buckets Of Rain

Buckets of rain

Buckets of tears

Got all them buckets coming out of my ears

Buckets of moonbeams in my hand

You got all the love honey baby

I can stand.



I been meek

And hard like and oak

I seen pretty people disappear like smoke

Friends will arrive friends will disappear

If you want me honey baby

I'll be there.



I like your smile

And your fingertips

I like the way that you move your lips

I like the cool way you look at me

Everything about you is bringing me

Misery.



Little red wagon

Little red bike

I ain't no monkey but I know what I like

I like the way you love me strong and slow

I'm taking you with me honey baby

When I go.



Life is sad

Life is a bust

All ya can do is do what you must

You do what you must do and ya do it well

I'll do it for you honey baby

Can't you tell?

GREG BROWN lyrics - Grand Junction

If ya go back a-ways to the railroad days,

When the 8-wheel drivers were steamin' down the line.

Had a little old song; you could sing along,

Hear them brakemen singin' it all the time.

Go like this



[Chorus:]

It's a grand junction, grand junction,

Grandest junction in the west.

I been out on the line for a long old time,

I'm goin' back to that junction I love the best.



You gonna hear that whistle blow 'bout a mile, you know,

And if the wind was right, you could hear it up to ten.

Folks all gathered 'round when they heard that sound,

And watched that little steamer parkin' there.

And



[Chorus]



Let's go on down there.



Now tell me who laid the rails; who brought the mail,

Who took the crops to market way back when.

Who drove that engine; who loaded that coal mine,

Bunch of brave and rowdy railroad men.

They sing it



[Chorus]



Well the years're rollin' down the line just like old Number 9,

And a lot of things get lost or kicked around.

But if you walk out at night when the moon is just right,

You can still hear that old engine whinin' down.



[Chorus]

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Sam Jones

(Richard Thompson)



Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation

Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration

Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation

Sam Jones deliver them bones



I've been among the shamrock and I've been among the thistle

I like it all picked over, clean as a whistle

No sign of meat on, no sign of gristle

Sam Jones deliver them bones



I've seen battlefields white with human ivory

Noble dukes and princes stripped of flesh and finery

When the crows have done their job, they say that's the time for me

Sam Jones deliver them bones



And I even dream of bones when I'm lying very ill

Roomsfull of skeletons a-dancing the quadrille

Rows and rows of skulls singing Blueberry Hill

Sam Jones deliver them bones



And if you're unburied, the likes of me will find you

You're no good to worms, but you might become the finest glue

We'll grind you up and spread you out as fertiliser, too

Sam Jones deliver them bones



And I've got a lorry, it's me own boneshaker

Where's there old knuckle joints I'll be the undertaker

I'll come calling 'round just like the butcher and the baker

Sam Jones deliver them bones



Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation

Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration

Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation

Sam Jones deliver them bones

Oh, Sam Jones deliver them bones

Sam Jones deliver them bones

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - 5:15

Oh, 5:15 is just a train.

5:24 it leaves the station again.

Tell me why.

Did she go?



5:15 is just a line.

Big black train took the girl of mine.

Tell me where does she go?

Tell me where does she go?



What big dreams we had,

Now I watch those dreams all fade and die.

What big plans we had,

Now I watch those trains go rolling by.

Rolling by, rolling by.

I'm watching the trains.

The trains.



5:15 is just a train.

5:24 it leaves the station again.

Tell me why did she go?

Tell me why did she go?

I'm watching the trains.

The trains.

The trains.

The trains.

The trains.

The trains the trains the trains.......

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Something Special

(Dolly Parton)



You may not know it

I don't always show it

But you're so important to me

So much that we've shared

You've always been there

I hope you always will be



'Cause you are something special, ooh-wee

Yes, you are something special to me



When I'm around you

The love that surrounds you

Brings comfort and warmth to my heart

A God-given treasure

You give me such pleasure

You are a true work of art



Yes, you are something special, yes indeed

Yes, you are something special to me



You're the wind 'neath my wings

Like the song that they sing

But there's so many things that you are

An angel in my life

You are the sunlight

And you hung the moon and the stars

Yes, you're special

Turnaround



Yes, you are something special, ooh-wee

Yes, you are something special, yes indeed

Yes, you are something special to me

MM-MM



You are something special

MM-MM, you're something special

You are something special

VINCE GILL lyrics - Time To Carry On

Painted as a victim

He said you caused it all

Lying to convince them

So you would take the fall



You walked out on nothin'

Hoping for some peace of mind



[Chorus:]

The pain is almost over

The hurt is nearly gone

No more looking over your shoulder

It's time to carry on



Scars won't last forever

The truth will take their place

Angry words will be forgotten

Contempt will fade away



The promise of tomorrow

It will always remain



[Chorus]



It's time to carry on

UFO lyrics - Hot 'N' Ready

You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson

Hot & Ready, ready to use

Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question

Hot & Ready, ready to use

I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe



Don't need I. D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...

Hot & Ready, ready to use

Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into

Hot & Ready, ready to use

I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)



---(instrumental)---



I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x)

--(instrumental to fade out)---

KANSAS lyrics - Freaks Of Nature

(David Ragsdale / Steve Walsh / Phil Ehart)



Freak of nature fact or fright

Puts up with pain puts up with spite



Scarred up shoes have lost their sheen

It looks like better days they've seen



Chameleon man naive tycoon

Will eat the poor with silver spoon



He'll jest and jeer through looking glass

But nest right near the upper class



Who'll be the first one pointing at the simple man

Now I know I'm only lucky every freak of nature should know

How to run the whole freakin' show



Freak of nature'd rather be no less a man than you or me

He'd rather look the other way choose to fight another day



I take things for granted turn the tables 'round

What if I was down



To much goin' on runnin' out of time

And I don't understand it

LOGGINS & MESSINA lyrics - Vahevala

I'm thinking about when I was a sailor

Spent my time on the open seas

When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica

I'd secretly steal ashore

The natives were waiting for

The boy with the lazy soul

To sing with the sailor



[Chorus:]

Vahevala, homeless sailor

Vahevala, homeward sail away

Vahevala, homeless sailor

Vahevala, homeward sail away

Every evening I'd be gone

Back on board by break of dawn



I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica

Pretty girls dancin' here and there

Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor

The captain he don't know

Where Billy he done go

But I'm singing with native girls

The songs of a sailor



[Chorus]



Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady

And drink with the men till the morning appear

Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face

As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear



[Chorus]

JIM CROCE lyrics - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

Well the Southside of Chicago

Is the baddest part of town

And if you go down there

You better just beware

Of a man named Leroy Brown



Now Leroy more than trouble

You see he stand 'bout six foot four

All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"

All the men just call him "Sir"



And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damned town

Badder than old King Kong

And meaner than a junkyard dog



Now Leroy he a gambler

And he like his fancy clothes

And he like to wave his diamond rings

In front of everybody's nose

He got a custom Continental

He got an Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun

He got a razor in his shoe



And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damned town

Badder than old King Kong

And meaner than a junkyard dog



Now Friday 'bout a week ago

Leroy shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar

Sat a girl named Doris

And oo that girl looked nice

Well he cast his eyes upon her

And the trouble soon began

'Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson

'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man



And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damned town

Badder than old King Kong

And meaner than a junkyard dog



Well the two men took to fighting

And when they pulled them off the floor

Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle

With a couple of pieces gone

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Jenny Rebecca

(J. Hull)



Jenny Rebecca, four days old

How do you like the world so far?

Jenny Rebecca, four days old

What a lucky, lucky, lucky

Lucky girl you are

For you have swings to be swung on

Trees to be climbed up

Days to be young on

Toys you can wind up

Grass to be lying on

Sun up above

Pillows for crying on

When you're in love

Ponies for riding

Wind in your hair

Slides to be sliding on

Leaves in the air

Dogs to be caring for

Love to be giving

Dreams to be daring for

Long as you're living

Yes, you have

Dreams to be daring for

Long as you're living

Jenny Rebecca, four days old

What a lucky, lucky, lucky

Lucky girl you are...

BEE GEES lyrics - Love You Inside Out

Baby, I can't figure it out

Your kisses taste like honey

Sweet lies don't gimme no rise

Oh, oh what you're trying to do?



Livin' on your cheatin'

and the pain grows inside me

It's enough to leave me crying in the rain

Love you forever but you're

driving me insane

and I'm hanging on

Oh, oh, I'll win, I'll never give in



Our love has got the power

Too many lovers in one lifetime

ain't good for you

You treat me like a vision in the night

Someone there to stand behind you

When your world ain't working right



I ain't no vision, I am the man

who loves you inside out

backwards and forwards with

my heart hanging out

I love no other way



What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?

Wrap myself up and take me home again

Too many heartaches in one

lifetime ain't good for me

I figure it's the love that keeps you warm



Let this moment be forever

we won't ever feel the storm

I ain't no vision, I am the man

who loves you inside out

backwards and forwards with

my heart hanging out



I love no other way

What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?

Don't try to tell me it's all over

I can't hear a word I can't hear a line

No man could love you more

And that's what I'm cryin' for

You can't change the way I feel inside



You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow

Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow

No man on earth can stand

between my love and I

And no matter how you hurt me

I will love you till I die



I ain't no vision, I am the man

who loves you inside out

backwards and forwards with

my heart hanging out

I love no other way

What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?

RICK WAKEMAN lyrics - Arthur

WHO SO PULLETH OUT THIS

SWORD FROM THIS STONE

AND ANVIL, IS THE TRUE-

BORN KING OF ALL BRITAIN



Upon a New Year's day

A host of knights did pray

That from the anvil one could draw the sword.

As each knight took his turn

They found the anvil, held it firm;

None worthy of a future King and Lord.

Sir Kay the bravest knight

Appeared to try his might

He dreamed of being King, as all the rest

To Arthur Sir Kay called to search

And bring for him a sword

In earnest Arthur set about his quest.

A churchyard in the wood

The sword and anvil stood

And Arthur drew the sword out of the stone

The anvil now defeated

His quest for the sword completed

A sword that was to place him on the throne

A sword that was to place him on the throne.

Sir Hector and Sir Kay saw the sword

And knelt to pray

Then gently took it from young Arthur's hand

They marvelled at his quest

Proclaiming to the rest

Arthur is the King of all this land

Arthur the King of all this land.

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Every Minute Every Day

(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)



Well it seems that I was lost

In intoxicated nights

Following the trace of ecstasy

With no future and no past

Just the present was alive

Like a prisoner chained on to a dream



I was drowning in a feeling

That obsession rules

'till the morning kills the creatures of the night

And I read your lipstick message

On the mirror of the truth

Now that you're gone I realize

Without you

Life's like a song without music

Without you

This world won't be the same



I need your love, every minute

I need your love, every day

I need your love, every minute

I need your love, come back and stay



Well I know that I was lost

In the nightmare of my life

Following the flash of fantasy

In a feeling that exploded

I'd left reality behind

Addicted to the power of a dream

Without you

Life's like that road that leads nowhere

Without you

The world won't feel the same



I need your love, every minute

I need your love, every day

I need your love, every minute

I need your love, come back and stay

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Didn't We?

(J. Webb)



[Recorded February 18, 1969, Hollywood]



This time we almost made the pieces fit, didn't we?

This time we almost some sense of it, didn't we?

This time I have the answer right here in my hand,

Then I touched it, and it has turned to sand.

This time we almost sang the song in tune, didn't we?

This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?

This time, we almost made (almost made) a poem rhyme

And this time we almost made that long hard climb.

Didn't we almost make it this time... this time.

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Who Was It?

Who was it that caught you falling

And put you back on your feet

Who was it that tripped you any way

(In order that the two of us would meet)

It was me and I'll tell you why

Oh! I did it because of my

Pure unabashed devotion to loving you

Who was it that tried to kiss you

Despite a very definite no

And who was it that managed to succeed

(In getting it with your fist down below)

It was me and I'll tell you why

Oh! I did it because of my

Pure unabashed devotion to loving

You and me both feel the same

We even look alike

And like it's a bloomin' shame

That because we do

People think we're you

Know what I mean

Who was it that came to see you

When there was no-one else in sight

And who was it that stayed over an hour

(And not as I'd expected over night)

It was me and I'll tell you why

Oh! I did it because of my

Pure unabashed devotion to loving

Pure unabashed devotion to loving

You, you, you, you

Who was it that caught you falling

KENNY ROGERS lyrics - All I Ever Need Is You

(Betty Jean Robinson)



Sometimes when I'm down and alone

I feel just like a child with out a home

The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey

All I ever need is you



Your my first love, your my last

Your my future, your my past

Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey

All I ever need is you



Winters come and then they go

And we watch the melting snow

Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do

Give me a reason to build my world around you



(World around you)



Some men follow rainbows I am told

Some men search for silver, some for gold

But I found my treasures in my soul

And all I ever need is you



Without love I'd never find the way

Through ups and downs of every single day

And I won't sleep at night until you say

Honey, all I ever need is you



La, La, La, La, La, La

The love you give me keeps me hangin' on

Honey, all I'll ever need is you



La, La, La, La, La, La

But I found my treasures in my soul

Honey, and all I ever need is you



La, La, La, La, La, La

BLIND GUARDIAN lyrics - Face The Truth

[Narrator:]

The moon, the sign of hope

It appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behind

We faced up to the curse and endured misery

Condemned we are

We brought hope, but also lies, and treachery

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Taking My Life In Your Hands

My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to

you too late

And it's really just a silly fragment of paper

But it means so much to those who wait

All the suffering days and nights till I dare dream again

There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned if you

didn't disappear with the dawn



[Chorus:]

Hours pass and darkness comes

Soon I will close my eyes

Will you return if you don't reply

You'll be taking my life in your hands

You'll be taking my life in your hands

Taking my life in your hands



I don't know why my dearest darling

I can't tell you how I feel when you are near

When I see you have returned my letters unopened

I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears

But you're kidding yourself if you think this

correspondence will end

I can always pretend words I don't have the courage to

send

Reach you



[Chorus]

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Country Fair

We stood and watched the river flow

We were too young to really know

In the country fair

Oh, in the country fair



We laid out in the long green grass

And never thought that it would pass

In the country fair

In the country fair



On an old, on an old open day

On an old rainshine open day

In the country fair

In the cool night air

In sweet summer time



We counted pebbles in the sand

Sand like time slippin' through our hand

In the country fair

In the country fair



On an old, on an old open day

On an old raintrack open day

In the country fair

In the cool night air

In sweet summer time



Hmmm mmmm

On an old open day

On an old

Pinecone open day

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Burn In Hell

(Tipton/Downing)



Speak to me

Of those days I won't forget

Your worst dreams

Has just returned - to pay you back

I'm still laughing

There's not much else I can do

But one's thing's certain

I'm coming back for you



Have you got a gun

Do you remember well

Who you used it on

It's time to burn in hell



Say my name

I can hear you whisper

Not to blame?

You are going to blister

Scream in the night

I've been counting the days

It's so amusing

To see you again



Have you got a gun

Do you remember well

Who d'ya use it on

You're going to burn in hell



Die

Why?

Time to pay the price



Kill

I will

Have my sacrifice



Plead

With fear

I am getting near



Friend

Liar

Time to eat some fire



Have you got a gun

Do you remember well

Who d'ya use it on

You're going to burn in hell



Burn in hell

Burn in hell



Have you got a gun

Do you remember well

Who d'ya use it on

You're going to burn in hell



Burn in hell

Burn in hell



Snarl like a dog

You'll scream like a banshee

Stuck like a hog

You're gonna love me



Burn in hell

I can hear you whisper

Burn in hell

You are going to blister

Burn in hell

Screaming like a banshee

Burn in hell

Burn

TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - Don't Fade

(Glen Phillips and Toad)



Lead me well, don't clear my way

Fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face

When you are light like a little boy

Flying kites and shouting to the world

You're shouting to the world your joy

Don't fade, you're staying here with me

Don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes

Look around, see for yourself

He led us down and at the water's edge we knelt

Petals in the lake and red upon my face

She's crying as we pray

And it all comes down to money, again

How could you forsake the love of god that way

Don't fade, you're staying here with me

Don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Farther Along

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder

Why it should be thus all day long

While there are others living about us

Never molested though in the wrong



When death has come and taken our loved ones

It leaves our home so lonely and drear

Then do we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year



Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all, by and by



Faithful 'til death, said our loving Master

A few more days to labor and wait

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing

As we sweep through the beautiful gates



Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all, by and by

JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - Women Is Losers

Women is losers

Women is losers

Women is losers, oh,

Say honey women is losers.

Well, I know you must have heard it all,

And everywhere

Men always seem to end up on top.



Oh, if they told you they want you

They'll come around by your door.

Whoa I say they'll hurt you, they'll desert you,

They'll leave you and never be here for more.

Oh yeah!



Women is losers

Women is losers

Women is losers, Lord, Lordy, Lord!!!

So now I know you must-a heard it, Lord, it's true,

Men always seem to end up on top.



They wear a nice shiny armor

Until there is a dragon for to slay.

Any day now,

Course with men beggin' to pay 'em

Then they'll turn and run away, oh!



Women is losers

Women is losers

Women is losers, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!!!

So I know you must have heard it, Lord,

Eveywhere

Men always seem to end up on top, oh!

ALBERT KING lyrics - I Don't Care What My Baby Do

(Lewis)



I don't care what my baby do

Long as I'm doin' what she's doin'

I don't care where my baby go

Long as I'm goin' where she's goin'



I don't care if my baby play

Long as it's me that she's playin'

I don't care where my baby stay

Long as I stay where she's stayin'



A man an' a dog, they tell me

Have a lot in common

The dog chases cars

And the man chases woman



(I don't care what my baby do)

Long as I'm doin' what she's doin'

(I don't care where my baby go)

Yes, long as I'm goin' where she's goin'



(I don't care if my baby plays)

(Whoa-ooh no, no, no, no, no, no)

Long as it's me she's playin' with

(I don't care where my baby stay)

Long as I stay where she's stayin'



Ya can't trust a bear

Alone with your honey

Ya can't trust a thief

Alone with your money



I don't trust my cat

Alone with my canary

To leave a man alone with my woman

Is unnecessary



(I don't care what my baby do)

No, long as I'm doin' what she's doin'

(I don't care where my baby go)

Long as I'm goin' where she's goin'



Ya can't trust a bear

Alone with your honey

Ya can't trust a thief

Alone with your money



I don't trust my cat

Alone with my canary

To leave a man alone with my woman

Is unnecessary



(I don't care what my baby do)

Long as I'm doin' what she's doin'

(I don't care where my baby go)

Long as I go where she's goin'



(I don't care if my baby play)

(oooooh, baby)

Long as it's me she's playin'

(I don't care where my baby stay)

Long as I stay where she's stayin'



(I don't care)



(I don't care)



(Woo-hoo-hoo)



(I don't care)

(Woo-woo-hoo-hoo)



(I don't care)



(I don't care, no I don't care)



(Whoa! I just don't care!)



(I don't care) No!

ROXETTE lyrics - Stars

You keep on walkin' on the other side

Other side, other side

You keep on walkin' on the other side

Other side, other side

Wherever you go, I'm going with you

Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow

Whatever you say, whatever you do

I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow



And the stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you



Why don't you let me, let me come along

Na na na, na na na

Why don't you open, make me come along

Na na na, na na na

Wherever you go, I'm going for you

Oh, I was truly born to follow

Like fire and wood and paper and glue

Only a few were born to follow



And the stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you

And the sun will glow

Melting all the snow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you



Stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you

And the sun will glow

Melting all the snow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you



And the stars will show

Every breeze will blow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you

CAROLE KING lyrics - Love Makes The World

There was trouble in my mind tonight

Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right

Then I saw your face in the moonlight

And I was right beside U



Don't need words that we useta use

It goes deeper than the words we choose

Can't lose - I wanna spread the news

U got love inside U



Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'

I've been down that road before



I can't stop believing

Love makes the world go 'round

As long as you're a part of me

Nothin's gonna take me down, oh

Yeah



Last winter when the snowfall hit

Cold city - it was hard to commit

You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit

And I was right beside U



Nothin' real comes overnight

U weren't sure if it felt right

But sometimes a love can move your life

If U let it guide U



Baby, U got to take love where you can find it

Just walk right through that door



I can't stop believing

Love makes the world go 'round

As long as I'm a part of U

Nothin's gonna take U down, oh

HEART lyrics - Call Of The Wild

After midnight

I call you

Even though I know better

I just got to

The moon is full

My heart is hot

And you know what I'm longing to do

With this aching I got



The call of the wild

Oh baby, can't you hear me calling

Oooh...

The call of the wild

The call of the wild



How can you ask me

Why I'm pushing pushing

When you know damn well

What you do

What you do to a woman

I get so inspired

Lying so close

It's the flash and the flame and the lever

I need the most



The call of the wild

Oh baby, can't you hear me calling

Oooh...

The call of the wild

The call of the wild



If I could chain you to me

I'd do it in a minute

My magic caravan

Baby you'd be in it

I'm hiding the prize and you're gonna win it

You're gonna win it now



The call of the wild

Oh baby, can't you hear me calling

Oooh

The call of the wild

Oooh

The call of the wild

Oooh

Oh Baby

Listen to me howling



The call of the wild

SMOKIE lyrics - Can't This Be Love

Love, love is a stranger drifting through the night

With no sense of danger

Never letting go, like the wind she flies so free

All of my lightening inside, it can't be denied

The truth is there to see

Can't this be love, cause it's more than a feeling to me

More than a feeling believe me, I never dreamed this could be

Can't this be love

Can't this be love

Can't this be love

Oh Can't this be love

Love, love is a darkness, waiting for the light to shine

for them in silence

Capturing the time that only we can see

But the lightening inside it can't be denied

The truth was meant to be

Can't this be love...

So Can't this be love...

cause it's more than a feeling to me

More than a feeling believe me, I never dreamed this could be

Can't this be love

Can't this be love

MICK JAGGER lyrics - I've Been Lonely For So Long

(Posie Knight/Jerry Weaver)



I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

Well I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along



These ain't rain clouds over my head

Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed

Just can't seem to get ahead in life

Nothing I do seems to turn out right

Somebody help me now



I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

Well I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along



I lay awake most every night

Trying to figure out how to make things right

There's got to be a better way I know

To shake this monkey off cos it's making me so

Won't somebody help me please



I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

Well I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along



I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

Well I've been lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - The American Girl

(Springfield)



You can see her walking down on a city street,

The American girl

She's got the passion in her eyes

She's got the blush on her cheeks,

The American girl



I love to watch her move, her body sways

She whispers then she laughs

Did you hear what she says

I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me

Doing things her daddy can't see



The American girl, out in the dark

She's looking for love, oh oh

The American girl, she breaks hearts

But that's not enough

She's such a mystery to me



Love is full of intrigue

And full of Bogart mystique, the American girl

She's got the promise in the night

The romance in the back seat, the American girl



I love to watch her move, her body sways

She whispers then she laughs

Did you hear what she says

I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me

Doing things her daddy can't see



The American girl, out in the dark

She's looking for love, oh oh

The American girl, she breaks hearts

But that's not enough

She's such a mystery to me



And she stares at herself

In the harsh white light

And she draws in her cheeks

Just like the model

So unsure of herself in the big wide world

The American girl



The American girl, out in the dark

She's looking for love, oh oh

The American girl, she breaks hearts

But that's not enough

She's such a mystery to me



The American girl, out in the dark

She's looking for love, oh oh

The American girl, she breaks hearts

But that's not enough



The American girl, out in the dark

She's looking for love, oh oh

The American girl, she breaks hearts

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Psycho

Can Mary fry some fish, mama

I'm as hungry as can be

Oh lord, how I wish, mama

You could stop the baby cryin'

'Cause my head is killing me

I saw my ex again last night mama

She was at the dance at Miller's store

She was with that Jackie White mama

I killed them both

And they're buried under Jacob's sycamore



You think I'm psycho don't you mama

I didn't mean to break your cup

You think I'm psycho don't you mama

You better let 'em lock me up



Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama

As I might squeeze him too tight

I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama

So let me tell you 'bout last night

I woke up in Johnny's room mama

Standing right there by his bed

With my hands around his throat mama

Wishing both of us were dead



You think I'm psycho don't you mama

I just killed Johnny's pup

You think I'm psycho don't you mama

You'd better let 'em lock me up



Oh you recall that little girl mama

I believe her name was Betty Clark

Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama

'Cause I just saw her in the park

We were sitting on a bench mama

Thinking of a game to play

Seems I was holding a wrench mama

Then my mind just walked away



You think I'm psycho don't you mama

I didn't mean to break your cup

You think I'm psycho don't you mama

Mama why don't you get up?

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Ain't Got Nobody

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

And I don't know why, but I'm startin' to cry.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

And I can't figure out how I'm gonna' get by.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

I don't know why, I been down all season,

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

'Cause there ain't no reason for the girl to be leavin' me.



CHORUS

I don't know how I'll ever get by without you.

Nobody, no... nobody.

I'm startin' to realize my fate.

Nobody, no... nobody.

I'm ready to make up and give another try to live with you.

Nobody, no... nobody.

I hope for our love and us, it's not too late... too late.

Nobody, nobody.



I ain't got nobody since she left me.

Oh, and I don't really think that she'll ever come back.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

If she don't come back, I'll have a love attack.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

And my tears are like rain, fallin' down on my face.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.

'Cause I know she's the girl that I'll never replace.



CHORUS



CHORUS

AMERICA lyrics - Seasons

First came the winter

And then came the morning

Bright coral branches that pass you again

Down from the meadow and onto the seashore

Came the vast checkerboard kingdom of men



Sun radiates gold infrarays

Time to prepare for the fall

Harvest the corn, watch for the storm

Soon we will hear winter call



Ice on the pond, won't stay too long

Too thin to walk it today

Ice on the pond, something went wrong

Frost must be lost on the way



Evening is falling

The tree is a silhouette

As seen by the teddy bear

Watching his den



Spring came so quickly

That I did not see her

Just turn around

And she's coming again



Wind chimes along, rising at dawn

Seasons in circles too match

Each comes along, singing his song

Burying thoughts of the past

J. J. CALE lyrics - Livin' Here Too

(J. J. Cale)



Don't ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies

I was born on a freight train passing by

My mother was poor, my father too

I'll take anything I can get from you

I did not make this world I'm just livin' here too

I've been shot three times running, been cut with a knife

I've got four children working and I ain't got no wife

If you don't watch my fingers, I'll put the touch on you

Turn around slowly, look behind

I'm calling from nowhere and not by design

I did not make this world I'm just livin' here too

Nothing to win, nothing to lose

I don't want a lot, just a shot will do

I did not make this world I'm just livin' here too

AMY GRANT lyrics - Ask Me

(Amy Grant & Tom Hemby)



I see her as a little girl hiding in her room

She takes another bath and she sprays her Momma's perfume

To try to wipe away the scent he left behind

But it haunts her mind



You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif

And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid

Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear



Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven

Where did He go in the middle of her shame?

Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens

I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names

Nobody's naming names



Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face

No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace

Still she leaves the light burning in the hall

It's hard to sleep at all



So she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse

Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house

But no one's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound

There's a peace she has found



Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven

Where did He go in the middle of her shame?

Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens

She said His mercy is bringing her life again



Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven

(How do you know?)

Where did He go in the middle of her shame

(Where did he go?)

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens

(How do you know?)

She said His mercy is bringing her life again

She's coming to life again

He's in the middle of her pain

In the middle of her shame

Mercy brings life

He's in the middle

Mercy in the middle



So ask me how I know

Ask me how I know, yeah

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens

(How do you know?)

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens

(How do you know?)

Yeah, ask me how I know

(How do you know?)

Ask me

Ask me

Ask me how I know

(How do you know?)

There's a God up in the heavens

Ask me how I know there's a God up int he heavens
