NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Vampire Blues

I'm a vampire, babe,

suckin' blood

from the earth

I'm a vampire, baby,

suckin' blood

from the earth.

Well, I'm a vampire, babe,

sell you

twenty barrels worth.



I'm a black bat, babe,

bangin' on

your window pane

I'm a black bat, baby,

bangin' on

your window pane.

Well, I'm a black bat, babe,

I need my high octane.



Good times are comin',

I hear it everywhere I go

Good times are comin',

I hear it everywhere I go.

Good times are comin',

but they sure comin' slow.



I'm a vampire, babe,

suckin' blood

from the earth

I'm a vampire, baby,

suckin' blood

from the earth.

Well, I'm a vampire, babe,

sell you

twenty barrels worth.



Good times are comin'.

LYLE LOVETT lyrics - She's No Lady

(Lyle Lovett)



She hates my mama

She hates my daddy too

She loves to tell me

She hates the things I do

She loves to lie beside me

Almost every night

She's no lady she's my wife



The preacher asked her

And she said I do

The preacher asked me

And she said yes he does too

And the preacher said

I pronounce you 99 to life

Son she's no lady she's your wife



And I can't remember

How I met her

Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm

And I can't remember

How I ever

Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm



And even though

She loves the smell of French perfume

And even though

She walks around in high-heel shoes

All I know

Is I'm the one who pays her price

Man she's no lady she's my wife



And I can't remember

How I met her

Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm

And I can't remember

How I ever

Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm



Yea she hates my mama

She hates my daddy too

She loves to tell me

She hates the things I do

She loves to lie beside me

Almost every night

She's no lady she's my wife

SLASH'S SNAKEPIT lyrics - The Truth

She gets up with her head swung down low down

Steps into the room

Please listen while I sing my song to you

"Cuz it all slips away, it ends too soon



How in the hell did I get here

Let me tell you all why I sing the blues

Been in a daze for ten years

But I still can sing the truth



Heaven knows where we all go

All we have is what we get

When it's gone, when will I know

Because I haven't got it yet



She's swayin' to the swing of the music

Her arms wave in the air

She turns her head, our eyes make contact

It lets me know



How in the hell did I get here

Let me tell you all why I sing the blues

Been in a daze for ten years

But I can still sing the truth



Heaven knows where we all go

All we have is what we get

When it's gone, when will I know

Because I haven't got it yet



Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly?

While I sit here, kickin' and bitchin'

Sayin' gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

Gimme what's mine



I thought I had it all, I wanted more

No need for you, I slammed the door

I cut you lose

What are the chances that I'd walk in here

And find the truth...

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - I Want Your Girl

[Chorus: Too $hort]

I want yo' girl, she's so damn fine

She's sexier and looks way better than mine

I want yo' girl, she wants me too

And if you don't, let her go, I'll take her from you



[Too $hort:]

Watchin that ass made me lose my breath

She can leave with me, go cruise in my whip

Take her clothes off and do her like hell

If I don't take your girl, who would I get?

Nutted in her mouth and it looked like crack

I said here, brush your teeth with this

And now she's soakin wet, what's next?

Me and yo' girl havin sex

I told her she could get it

She told me she was wit it

She know I want to hit it

Come back braggin, tell the homies I did it

I wish I could

Bang in the pussy like it's my hood

I'm strapped for the driveby

Turn her out with this "Up All Nite" life



[Chorus]



[E-40:]

The grind is a terrible thang to waste

Try not to catch me a case, quarters dimes nickels and eighths

Parked in my lark at 3 A. M. in the dark

Gettin my dick sucked, but here come the NARC

Ooooh, tellin me to depart

Went to school with the nigga, the nigga used to be a mark

See me on the {?} skippin and skatin

Burnin Pirelli meat, gassin and brakin

Strikin through the trap with my beanie cap

With a throwaway 9 and some D in the back

E'ryday livin livin life as a savage

Fistfights and gun battles cause it come with the package

Well above average, mack game impeccable

Don't blame me if ya broad wanna get sexual

She got her legs on a player shoulder

Back bent like she doin yoga



[Chorus: minus half of first line]



[Dolla Will]

Dolla - she ain't never seen a hustler like this

15 karats on the right wrist

And ain't no tellin what's on the other hand

I'm like T. I., I keep a "Rubberband"

I'm eatin, them niggaz is fastin

I fuck off a rack on a pair of Fendi glasses

It ain't nuttin cause I'm Dolla Will

I keep a bitch lookin like she from Brazil

Some niggaz try but it's in me

If that's the kush she slip then I'ma knock {?}

I'm in the club, found one that's friendly

She say she with her man but tryin to come with me



[Chorus]



[Mr. F. A.B.:]

[BEEP BEEP!] IT'S MEEE

The yellow bus rider, Mr. F. A.B.

I'm the, dumbest of dummies that do it but with P's

Let me borrow your broad, let me borrow your bitch

Give it here, pimpin I'll give her back

Leave her used, bruised, confused front to the back

"Beat It" like Mike Jack, I bet you won't like that

She lead them right back, man where yo' wife at?

Uhh, I like the way that she lookin

I don't care if she stolen wifed or tooken

I ain't trippin, I'ma take her down

Got the game from my dad and Gangsta Brown

I mean, I thought, I'm still thinkin

Hop in my scraper, what you smoke what you drinkin?

Do me cause I'ma sho' do you

What it dookie, yadda daa boo boo



[Outro: Too $hort]

I want yo' girl, she's so damn fine

She's sexier and looks way better than mine

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Our Bizarre Relationship

FZ: Bizarre!

Suzy: Bizarre. . . ha ha!

No-one could ever understand our bizarre relationship because I was your intellectual frigid housekeeper.

Especially when you'd be going to bed with one chick at night and I wake up in the morning and find another one there, screaming at me. . . ha ha. . . Asked me what the fuck that chick was doing in your bed and I'd walk in and you weren't with the same one you were in the night before.

Oh, I'll never forget that, as long as I live.

That house, well it had your shit all over. . . and we had a cat and we had fleas and we had lots of crabs that we proceeded to give to everyone in Laurel Canyon except for Elmer and Phil, because they were too sick to ball. . . ha ha. . . Elmer has a mentality of approximately One Peanut. Possibly.

As a matter of fact, I can remember Elmer telling me that you really had a lot of talent, but he didn't see how anyone could ever make it that insisted on saying FUCK on stage.

And he used to drive by in his gold Cadillac and peer in the window. . . ha ha. . . 'Cause he never could get over the amount of groupie status that, that you had and he didn't. Possibly because he's 50 years old and wretched. . .

FZ: HA HA HA!

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Morning Beat

Maw, maw miama glory, Hallelujah

Maw, maw miama glory, Hallelujah



The sun burns a hole through the 6 AM haze

Turns up the volume and shows off its rays

Another Dodger-blue sky is crowning L. A.

The City of Angels is rushed every day

That lucky old sun smiles on me

Wanna slide down the mountain to the dancin' sea



I'm rockin' to the morning beat

It's risin' from star studded concrete

This city has my favorite soundtrack

It makes you wanna move even though it's laid back

Take it in stride it'll kick start your feet

When you're tuned in to the morning beat



Driving through the maze of the Hollywood Hills

Headed to the ocean for a view that would kill

Watching from the Wheel in Santa Monica Pier

A million diamonds floating on heavenly tiers

The gentle wind won't make a sound

Even though it's forcing the waves to crown



Maw, maw, miama glory, Hallelujah

Maw, maw, miama glory, Hallelujah



Hear those guitars gently strummin'

Hear the voices softly hummin'

It's hard to feel down living in this town

But you're so far away

It's a long long way from January

All the way to December



Even when the sun and I cannot sleep

There's an unspoken promise that we keep

We'll party all night into another day

And keep the golden glow of L. A.

Even when we are deep in sleep

I'm listenin' for the rhythm of the morning beat

I listen for the mornin' beat

I listen for the mornin' beat



Maw, maw, miama glory, Hallelujah

Maw, maw, miama glory, Hallelujah

HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - Make Me Happy

(Karger / Weisman)



I wanna go, where You go

In the sun in the snow

Make me happy



Let me share, what You share

Every smile, every care

Make me happy



[Chorus:]

Give me the right

To feel each day and night

With love, that's forever

Love, that will never fade out of sight



Don't make me beg, make me plead

To be everything You need

Make me happy

Make me happy

Make me happy



Make me happy

Make me happy



[Chorus]



Don't make me beg, make me plead

To be everything You need

Make me happy

Make me happy

Make me happy

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA II lyrics - Easy Street

I've had enough of forever being told what to say and do

I've had enough

I've had enough being always pushed around by the likes of you

I'm making some plans of my own now

And you know what you can do



I'm so tired

Tired of the man giving me such a hard, hard time

I'm so tired

You make a man work so hard every day,

Don't you know it's a crime

Always got to hit the deadline

When will I ever get some peace of mind

I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty

I'll get myself the key to the big city

Find a way to make some money

Move into the land of milk and honey

Everything's sweet and life's a treat

Feel the heat on easy street



I'm movin' on

Movin' on to a place that I see all the time in my dreams

I'm movin' on

Gone, gone, gone from the misery



I've taken all that I can now

Gonna take my time on easy street



I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty

Get myself the key to the big city

Find a way to make some money

Move into the land of milk and honey

Everything's sweet and life's a treat

Feel the heat on easy street



I've found a girl that's rich and pretty

Got myself the key to the big city

Found a way to make some money

Moved into the land of milk and honey

Everything's sweet and life's a treat

Feel the heat on easy street

(Repeat)

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - I'm A Rainbow

Is there a remedy for the passions of the soul

Brother if there is one I don't really know

Have I let my imagination run out of control

I'm a rainbow

Just a rainbow



Am I living here in this nameless state

It's light on darkness sound of silence

I just can't get it straight

See I don't wanna be no one that I ain't

I'm a rainbow

Just a rainbow



And all the colors that you see

Are all part of me

In this crazy world of mine



Like the wind that blows

The trees are sailing for the breeze

Ever changing all the time



I'm a rainbow just a rainbow

Ever changing all the time

I'm a rainbow colorful rainbow

Sometimes I shine



And all the colors that you see

Are all part of me

In this crazy world of mine



Like the wind that blows

The trees are sailing for the breeze

Ever changing all the time



Da, da, da, da, da...



Like the wind that blows

The trees are sailing for the breeze

Ever changing all the time



I'm a rainbow just a rainbow

And sometimes I can shine

I'm a rainbow just a rainbow...

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - The Other Me

I Know I Was A Crazy Fool

For Treating You The Way I Did

But Something Took Hold Of Me

And I Acted Like A Dustbin Lid



I Didn't Give Second Though

To What The Consequence Might Be

I Really Wouldn't Be Surprised

If You Were Trying To Find Another Me



The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule



I Know It Doesn't Take A Lot

To Have A Little Self-Control

But Every Time That I Forgot

Well I Landed In Another Hole



But Everytime You Pull Me Out

I Find It Harder Not To See

That We Can Build A Better Life

If I Can Try To Find The Other Me



The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule



But If I Ever Hurt You

Well You Know That It's Not Real

It's No Easy Living By Yourself

So Imagine How I Feel



I Wish That I Could Take It Back

I'd Like To Make A Different Mood

And If You Let Me Try Again

I'll Have A Better Attitude



Well I Know That One And One Make Two

And That's What I Want Us To Be

I Really Would Appreciate It

If You'd Help Me Find The Other Me



The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

JOHN PRINE lyrics - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Christmas toys all over the place

Little Johnny wears a funny smile on his face

Johnny has a secret, and a secret he must share

He wants to tell somebody, so he tells his Teddy Bear



I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

Well, she didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peek

She though that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

What a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had walked in

And saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night



I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

Well, she didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peek

She though that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

But I know I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

What a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had walked in

And saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

And saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night (One more time!)

And saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

On the Lips!

W. A.S. P. lyrics - Savage

(Lawless, Piper, Holmes)



I'm a night rider burning the highways, no brakes I ride

Tasmanian Devil, a mean streak as wide as the sky

As wild as the night

Cause I'm a wild screaming eagle

I thunder and roll down the line

No one can see that I got to be free

All that I need's just to ride in the breeze

I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay

Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be

S-s-s-s-s-savage

I'm a fur stroking monster, I'll eat you alive

My heart is my smoking sportster, cross me and you'll not survive

My wheels are my life

No one can see that I got to be free

All that I need's just to ride in the breeze

I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay

Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be

S-s-s-s-s-savage

Don't dare touch me

Five hundred c-c-c-c-c-c-s

No one can see that I got to be free

All that I need's just to ride in the breeze

I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay

Don't tread on me cause I'm destined to be

Savage

To be free, ride in the breeze

No don't you touch me

I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay

Sa-sa-sa-savage

PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man

Daddy was an old time preacher man

He preacher the word of God throughout the land

He preached so plain a child could understand

Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man

He told the people of he need to pray

He talked about God's wrath and judgement day

He preached about the great eternity

He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat



Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man

Aunt Leanona would get up to testify

And we'd sing "In The Sweet By And By"

The we'd sing "I'm On My Way To Canaan Land"

Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man



Revivals and camp meetings went for weeks

Folks came from all around to hear him preach

Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all

But the aisles were always filled at altar calls

Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man



Daddy worked for God but asked for no pay

For he believed that God provides a way

We never had a lot but we got by

Guess it's 'cause the Lord was on Daddy's side

Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man

JOHN DENVER lyrics - High Wind Blowin'

(Armand/Chater)



There's such a high wind blowing and it's snowing in my bed.

Oh, baby, you started flowers growing where nothing grew instead.

I need something to hide the failure of my garden and the way it grew.

Oh, baby, I didn't know I could depend on you.

It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep tonight.

I think that warm wind feel's all right.

It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep at all.

I feel like I'm gonna fall into your fine, high wind.



You look like twilight falling on the ocean in the setting sun.

Oh, baby, do you know what you have done?

I feel like you have changed my mind about living the way I do.

Oh, baby, I didn't know I could depend on you.

It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep tonight.

I think that warm wind feel's all right.

It's such a high wind blowing, I won't get to sleep at all.

I feel like I'm gonna fall into your fine, high wind.

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - What Cha' Gonna Do For Me

(Hamish Stuart and Ned Doheny)



All night and day

Just chippin' away

It's all in a day's work

Tryin' hard to defend

The time that I spend alone



The crown that you lose

Exploiting the blues

Won't get the job done

As hard as it bites

I'm keepin' my sights on you



[Chorus:]

What cha' gonna do for me

What cha' gonna do for me

What cha' gonna do for me

When the chips are down



In the cool of the night

When nothing seems right

The feeling can take you

Strange as it seems

You make your own dreams come true



If you try to conceal

The way that you feel

You're asking for trouble

Just as sure as I cry

I'm keeping my eye on you



[Chorus 2x]



You don't have to tell me

I'm to blame for this

'Cause what you hold against me

Is what I miss

METALLICA lyrics - So What

(Exall / Culmer)



[Original: Anti Nowhere League]



So fucking what!



Well, I've been to Hastings and I've been to Brighton,

I've been to Eastbourne too.

So what, so what.

And I've been here, I've been there,

I've been every fucking where.

So what, so what.

So what, so what, you boring little cunt.



Well, who cares, who cares what you do.

Yeah, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you.



Well, I fucked a queen, I fucked fuck,

I've even sucked an old man's cock.

So what, so what.

And I fucked a sheep, I fucked a goat,

I rammed my cock right down its throat.

So what, so what.

So what, so what, you boring little fuck.



Well, who cares, who cares what you do.

And, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you.



And I've drunk that, I've drunk this,

I've spewed up on a pint of piss.

So what, so what.

I've had scank, I've had speed,

I've jacked up until I bleed.

So what, so what.

So what, so what, you boring little cunt.



Well, who cares, who cares what you do.

Yeah, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you, you.



I've had crabs, I've had lice,

I've had the clap and that ain't nice.

So what, so what.

I fucked this, I fucked that,

I've even fucked a school girl's twat.

So what, so what.

So what, so what, you boring little fuck.



Well, who cares, who cares what you do.

And, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you, you.



So fucking what! Yeah!

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Lonely Stranger

(Eric Clapton)



I must be invisible;

No one knows me.

I have crawled down dead-end streets

On my hands and knees.



I was born with a ragin' thirst,

A hunger to be free,

But I've learned through the years.

Don't encourage me.



[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,

Well beyond my day.

And I don't know what's goin' on,

So I'll be on my way.



When I walk, stay behind;

Don't get close to me,

'Cause it's sure to end in tears,

So just let me be.



Some will say that I'm no good;

Maybe I agree.

Take a look then walk away.

That's all right with me.



[Chorus]

MIKE RUTHERFORD lyrics - A Day To Remember

There's a light in every window

And it's shining on your door

It's put there to remind you

Of what you must answer for

Have you never had this feeling

There's nothin' you must hide

No day to remember

No day to recall



Every day is just another day

Every way is just another way

So try to remember

Please try to recall

Why don't you believe me, oh

Why don't you believe me, oh



And in a moment's hesitation

Your defences are down

And your secret is out, it is out



Nightmares keep coming

Your dreams get confused

As you try to remember

The way that you were used

But you'll have forgotten

You can't recall

The way that it happened

And the things that you saw



Every face is just another face

Every place is just another place

That haunts you forever,

The day you can't hide

Why don't you believe me, oh

Why don't you believe me, oh



And in a moment's hesitation

Your defences are down

And your secret is out, is out



Someone points a finger

Someone knows the truth

'Bout the day you've been hiding

The day you were used

But the nightmares keep coming

Your dreams get confused

As you try to remember

As you try to recall

But you know in your heart

Someone will find



That day you remember

That day you can't hide



That day you remember

That day you can't hide

BOB DYLAN lyrics - John Wesley Harding

John Wesley Harding

Was a friend to the poor

He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand

All along this countryside

He opened a many a door

But he was never known

To hurt a honest man.



It was down in Chaynee County

A time they talk about

With his lady by his side

He took a stand

And soon the situation there

Was all but straightened out

For he was always known

To lend a helping hand.



All across the telegraph

His name it did resound

But no charge held against him

Could they prove

And there was no man around

Who could track or chain him down

He was never known

To make a foolish move.

THE BLACKBYRDS lyrics - Walking In Rhythm

Walking in rhythm

Movin' in sound

Hummin' to the music

Trying to move on

I'm walking in rhythm

Singin' my song

Thinkin' about my baby

Tryin' to get home



Walking in rhythm

Movin' in sound

Hummin' to the music

Tryin' to move on



It's been so long since I seen her

I'm tired and so all alone

I've travelled so very far

I've got to get back home

Got to get back home



[Musical Interlude]



It's been so long since I seen her

I'm tired and so all alone

I've travelled so very far

I've got to get back home

Got to get back home



Walking in rhythm

Movin' in sound

Hummin' to the music

Tryin' to move on

I'm walking in rhythm

Singin' my song

Thinkin' about my baby

Tryin' to get home

QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - London

(Chris DeGarmo, Michael Wilton, Geoff Tate)



It was November 4th

I last held your hand

It seemed our time would last forever

You said don't ever leave

I thought you'd never go

I wish I could just remember your name...



You're just a memory now

Like all the ones before

But with your pain I've had to suffer

Your eyes alight with flame

As the picture burns

I hear the screams from long ago



They cry remember, blood-red streaks on

velvet throats at night

The streetlights fanned our trail of fame

through



London London

The memories will never leave me

London London

All I see is you

London London

The cries in the night

Keep bringing me to

London London

Calling out to me



Oh there's some things in life I could never face

The worst is being alone

Sometimes I wish I could have taken your

place my love

You know I don't want to live forever



Oh let me see you standing in the

shadows once again

We'll walk the streets like long ago in



London London

The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to

London London

All I need is you

The cries in the night keep ringing on in

London London

Calling out to you

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Ain't It The Truth

Ain't it the truth

Ain't it the truth, now, baby

Ain't it the truth, now

What I say?



Eat watermelon

Eat peaches and cream

Eat ripe tomatoes

You know what I mean.



Ain't it the truth

Ain't it the truth, now, baby

Ain't it the truth, now

What I say?



Your majesty

Your curvaceousness

Your highness

Your soulfulness.



Make love to me, babe

Make love to me

Make me feel all right, now

Make me feel so good.

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Rollin' On

Been kickin' sawdust

In these clothes

For a blue moon

And a red nose

The boys will put 'em up

And tear 'em down

We'll wash away

The dirt

Just a glass a day

Ain't gonna hurt

Pretty soon we'll move on

Out of town



We pass them by

Across the plains

We don't even try

To catch the names

It's supper-time and their kids

Are home from school

They draw the shades

On their shops

While we go a'checking

Through the props

And putting on the paint

To play the fool



Then we're rollin' on

Rollin' on

Feeling, better

Than we did last night

Rollin' on rollin' on

It's hard some times

Pretty much it's alright



I'll go soft shoe

When it rains

I'll go shuffle through

The aches and pains

Mr. young at heart

That's what I try to be

They all laugh

And cry

They get to feeling better

And that is why

If it was good for you

Truly it was good for me



Then we're rollin' on

Rollin' on

Feeling better

Than we did last night

Rollin' on rollin' on

It's hard sometimes

Pretty much it's alright

UB40 lyrics - Blood And Fire

Blood, blood, blood; blood and fire

Blood, blood, blood; blood and fire



There is no more water to out the fire

There is no more water to out the fire

Let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn, burn burn

Blood, blood, blood; blood and fire

Blood, blood, blood; blood and fire



Judgement has come and mercy has gone (mercy come and gone)

Ooh, weak hearts shall lick up and spit up (weakheart must get lick up)

Judgement has come and mercy has gone (judgement time is here)

Ooh, weak hearts shall lick up and spit up (weakheart must get sick up)



Let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn, burn burn (mercy gone)





Blood, blood, blood; blood and fire

Rasta Hail!



Blessed is the weed, the healing of all nations in every corner of the earth

Blessed are the fields of sensimillia that enlighten and erich our soul

Blood and fire mek it burn bredren



All weak hearts shall lick up and spit up

And all righteous shall stand

Hail, Rasta hail and wail (rastafari)

Hail Rasta don't quail (we not quail)



Let it burn, burn burn

Let it burn, burn burn

IGGY POP lyrics - Pleasure

Sooner or later baby

I'm gonna squeeze you just like a tomato

Sonner or later baby

I'll probably peel you like some old potato

Just give me some pleasure

It's my life



Sooner or later baby

I'm gonna bleed you

Sooner or later baby

You're gonna feel something for me

Just give me some pleasure

It's my life



I gotta do that

I gotta do that

Just give me some pleasure

It's my life

Just give me pleasure

I got no wife

Just give me pleasure

I got no wife

It's my pleasure

I got no wife

It's my pleasure

That's what I'm living for



I gotta do that

I gotta do that

Pleasure

Pleasure

Give me some pleasure please

Pleasure

Give me some pleasure please

I'm gonna squeeze you like tomato

I'm gonna peel you like a what?

LIke a potato

It's my life

It's just my life

It's just my life

RAY CHARLES lyrics - I Blush

All court conversation

To my observation

Is naughty

And woefully pert;

With joy unabating

The ladies-in-waiting

Are waiting

To dish thee the dirt;

Such talk never charms me,

In sooth, it alarms me

When told by a hoyden or a valet.

Mere greetings and glances

Rouse talk of romances;

Each kiss is a study in scarlet.



Oh dear, when there's scandal about the court,

I blush!

Oh dear, at the naughtiness they report,

I blush!

Things they say sound very queer to me,

What they mean is never clear to me,

But it can't be very nice

The way they hush;

I blush!

Such sights are not fit for a maiden's view.

I blush!

Oh, dear, I know just what I ought to do,

I blush!

But you see,

I can't condemn a tale

If its end I do not know.

Oh dear, I blush!

But I love it so!



Oh dear, but the Queen carries on a bit;

I blush!

Oh, dear, though I breathe not a word of it,

I blush!

Launcelot loveth her beauty well;

As a knight, he doth his duty well;

On the throne, they get so very warm,

They burn the plush.

I blush!

Arthur is a rather unwary King;

I blush!

The Queen made Launcelot honorary King;

I blush!

To be sure,

It's none of my concern

If he kissed her once or twice.

Oh dear, I blush!

But it's rather nice!



Tristan told his heart to Isolde in song;

I blush!

Oh dear, but the song was six hours long;

I blush!

What they did was wrong beyond a doubt

If it took so long to sing about;

And the thought can make my lily

Cheek to flush.

I blush!

Oh dear, how they yodeled of love and death;

I blush!

They died not from love but from lack of breath;

I blush!

That it was

A proper way to die

It is, silly to pretend.

I blush, but oh dear,

What a lovely end!

VINCE GILL lyrics - I Still Believe In You

(Vince Gill, John Barlow Jarvis)



Everybody wants a little piece of my time

But still I put you at the end of the line

How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain

To see the tears you cry fallin' like rain



Give me the chance to prove

And I'll make it up to you



I still believe in you

With a love that will always be

Standing so strong and true

Baby I still believe in you and me



Somewhere along the way, I guess I just lost track

Only thinkin' of myself never lookin' back

For all the times I've hurt you, I apologize

I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize



Give me the chance to prove

That nothing's worth losing you



I still believe in you

With a love that will always be

Standing so strong and true

Baby I still believe in you and me

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Florida Time

It's Florida time



Well we're passin' through Georgia and we're right on time

We're going to florida to have a good time

If we get there ahead of the rest

We'll tan right up so we all look the best

It's Florida time an it's really all right

Find a good girl and just treat her right



The Florida border just round the bend

There's Cindy and Terry and the rest of our friends

The GTO has ten people inside

And the road is lined with guys hitchin' rides

It's Florida time an it's really all right

Grab a good girl and just hold her tight



Florida time



In Florida and some will turn off

Some will hit Daytona and the rest will head south

The Lauderdale beach is just up ahead

I'd like to hit Nassau but my wallet is dead

It's Florida time an it's really all right

Find a good girl and just treat her right



Florida Time

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Thunder And Lightning

There's people who believe

That what we're to receive

Is meant to happen anyway

Then there're those who'll admit

That they're literally scared stiff of it

No matter what you say

Then there are those who'll astound

By simply being around to play

Thunder and lightning ain't worth fighting

So lock yourself away or else face it all tonight



I was supposed to meet her at eight

Now I find it's gone eight

And I haven't done a thing

There's people all around me

People who have found me

Not very funny when I sing

A little song about the bad things

The weather can do

Thunder and lightning ain't worth fighting

So lock yourself away or else face it all tonight



People running everywhere

There's not a soul who'll stay out there

And I don't think there will be tonight

But we've got to accept what's right



[Break]



Thunder and lightning etc.

I'm trying hard to remember

Was it last November

When I got caught under a tree

I stood there like a fool

Without so much as a stool

That I could sit upon to comfort me

I shudder at the thought

Howerer I got out safely

Thunder and lightning [etc...]

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Homeward Bound

(Christine McVie)



I want to sit at home in my rockin' chair

I don't want to travel the world

As far as I'm concerned I've had my share

But times more precious than gold

I don't wanna see another airplane seat

Or another hotel room

The home life to me seems really neat

I just wanna unpack for good

Buy me a ticket homeward bound (homeward bound)

Buy me a ticket homeward bound (oh homeward bound

Well it all seems the same when you've done it before

There's no difference in the style

There's no end insight or my own front door

I'll be a stay at home for awhile

So I'll have another drink and a cigarette

Just to console myself some how

It's not too bad if you can forget

I've just got to find a way somehow

Buy me a ticket homeward bound (homeward bound)

Buy me a ticket homeward bound (oh homeward bound

Buy me a ticket homeward bound (homeward bound)

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - This Here Giraffe

I saw this bird fly off his head

Without him ever lookin up

This here giraffe was never caught complainin

He wouldn't take skin off yer back.



And ya hear yerself

Thinkin

And ya hear yerself

Thinking

This here giraffe, laughed



I saw this man stick out his neck

With his binoculars intact

He couldn't tell the right side of his brain

Had just lost all interest in his left...

And ya feel yourself shrinkin

And ya feel yourself shrinkin

This here giraffe, laughed

This here giraffe, laughed

And ya hear yourself

And ya hear yourself

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - He's A Rag Picker

[1st verse:]

Down in Alabama where the cotton grows

Lives a funny fellow by the name of Mose

He hasn't anybody he can pick upon

So he picks on a grand piano

Morning, noon and night you'll find him picking rags

I don't mean the kind of rags they put in bags

He doesn't own a junk shop

Just the same



[Refrain:]

He's a rag picker, a rag picker

All the livelong day

He bangs upon the piano keys

In search of raggy melodies

All day he's at the ivories

And while he dozes, he composes

Mister Moses makes an ordinary ditty sound so pretty

Like nobody can

Most any time of the day

You'll find him picking away

He's a rag picker, a rag picker

A ragtime picking man



[2nd verse:]

Moses' father told me that upon the morn

When his little piano playing boy was born

They didn't have a cradle they could put him in

So he slept on the grand piano

In a week they found him there upon his knees

Chewing on the highly polished piano keys

That very day his father

Loudly cried

ENIGMA lyrics - Boum-Boum

My heart goes boum boum boum

Every time I think of you

Heart's going boum boum boum

Lost control what shall I do?



Cos I wanna be your lover

Till the end of our lives

I could never miss again

These loving eyes



My heart goes boum boum boum

Every time I think of you

I feel that boum boum boum

No control of what I'll do



Simplicity, complexity, oh what a tragedy

Reality, insanity, strange normality

Incredible, untouchable, but just visual

And I want you, just you but natural



My heart goes boum boum boum

When any mind is touching you

Inside that boum boum

Only light inside my gloom

YANNI lyrics - In The Morning Light

I wake up to see you

Standing in the morning light.

I reach out to touch you,

But all that I get

Is a memory, and yet, I feel you are near

But my vision's not clear.



Yet I have your image always in view,

I'm forever thinking of you.

I feel you watching me

Quietly in the morning light.

I try to find some peace of mind

In knowing you're where

You don't have a care.

I take comfort that You no longer have



To keep living in a world full of pain,

But I ache to see you again.

On rainy days I sit and think of our lost years,

The times we spent apart just fill my eyes with tears,

But fields of wild flowers and yellow butterflies

Remind me of you and make me smile.



I walk in to your room

And stand there in the morning light.

I cherish the memories:

Your robe on a hook,

The pictures you took.

I can smell your perfume

On the clothes in your room.



Everything I see makes your loss hard to bear,

I see you everywhere.

I live now in a still world

Listening in the morning light.

I strain to hear a familiar voice

But all that I hear

Is the sound of my tears.

Then from a far place

Comes the slightest trace

Of your voice saying,

"I'm all right, you see, and I always will be."

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - I'll Write A Song For You

(Al McKay, Philip Bailey & Steve Beckmeier)



I thirst but never

quench

I know the consequence, feeling as I do

We're in a spinning top

where, tell me, will it stop

and what am I to say

Open our music book, that only few can look

and I'll write a song for you



Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody

'Cause I write a song for you

Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate

in another place

There in your silent night

joy of a song's delight

I write a song for you

You write a song for me

We write a song for love



My magical mystique, finding it all complete

in a lovely face, feeling we try to chase

memories that won't erase, stay forever new

We have a magic box in which is never locked

TOTO lyrics - Hold The Line

It's not in the way that you hold me

It's not in the way you say you care

It's not in the way you've been treating my friends

It's not in the way that you'll stay till the end

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do



Hold the line

Love isn't always on time



It's not in the words that you told me

It's not in the way you say you're mine

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do



Hold the line

Love isn't always on time



It's not in the words that you told me

It's not in the way you say you're mine

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do



Hold the line

Love isn't always on time



It's not in the way that you hold me

It's not in the way that you make me feel

You see

It's all about the way you do the things you do

The way you do it

You've got to hold it

Hold it



Hold the line

Love isn't always on time

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Without Her

I spend a night in the chair

Thinking she'll be there but she never comes

And I wake up and wipe the smile from my eyes

And I rise

To face another day without her



It's just no good anymore

When you walk through the door of an empty room

And then you go inside and set a table for one

It's no fun

To spend another day without her



We burst a pretty baloon, took us to the moon

Such a beautiful thing, but it's ended now

And it sounds like a lie if I say I'd rather die

Then live wihout her



Love is a beautiful thing when it knows

How to swing and groove like a clock

But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part

And it's breakin' my heart

To spend another day without her



Can't go on without her

It's all wrong without her

Can't go on without her

It's all wrong without her

Can't go on without her

It's all wrong without her

ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Weight Of The World

I'm weary and I'm staying up late

And the rain hits my roof so hard

You know I'm no longer thirty

These days I'm happy to play

One or two hands of cards

I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing

Disturbing the peace I've found

Fortune and fame is so fleeting

These days I'm happy to say

I'm amazed that I'm still around



And the weight of the world is off my back

When we fell, we got up

And crawled out the cracks

Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

Happy today, happy to play

With the weight of the world off of my back



Humidity hangs like a curtain

Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes

You know I've still got my eyesight

These days I'm happy to see

A sunset instead of a line



And the weight of the world is off my back

When we fell, we got up

And crawled out the cracks

Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

Happy today, happy to play

With the weight of the world off of my back



There's a long list of names

That I don't recall

Even though my memory's good

The rain washed away

The lemons and weeds

When the weight of the world weighed more than it should



I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing

Disturbing the peace I've found

Fortune and fame is so fleeting

These days I'm happy to say

I'm amazed that I'm still around

And the weight of the world is off my back

When we fell, we got up

And crawled out the cracks

Excuse me if I take some comfort in that

Happy today, happy to play

With the weight of the world off of my back



Happy today, happy to play

With the weight of the world off of my back

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Silent Night

Astro del ciel! Pargol divin!

Mite agnello redentor!

Tu che i vati dai lungi sognar,

tu che angeliche voci

annunziar,

luce dona alle menti,

pace infondi nei cuor.

FATES WARNING lyrics - A World Apart

We find ourselves in ruin

and it's come too far, how?

It's no use,

too much allowed and abused.



Worlds apart,

they're excused.

When we've warned

they're amused.



We slip right by, and ignore

this sable scene.

We've lives to live,

it's all for one you see.

Why should we think to care,

won't we soon disappear?



Worlds apart,

they're excused.

Balance waived as we speak.



Praised are those with fashions grand,

self concern leads their plans.

A moment's craze and natural crime

subserves a world to malignant minds.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Truck Drivin' Song

I'm drivin' a truck

Drivin' a big ol' truck

Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck

Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn

Drivin' a truck with my high heels on



My diesel rig is northward bound

It's time to put that hammer down

Just watchin' as the miles go flyin' by

I'm ridin' twenty tons of steel

But it's sure hard to hold the wheel

While I'm waiting for my nails to dry



Oh, I always gotta check my lipstick in that rear view mirror

And my pink angora sweater fits so tight

I'm jammin' gears and haulin' freight

Well, I sure hope my seams are straight

Lord, don't let my mascara run tonight



Because I'm drivin' a truck

Drivin' a big ol' truck

Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck

Got these eighteen wheels-a-rollin' until the break of dawn

Drivin' a truck with my high heels on



Oh, I don't mind when my crotchless panties creep right up on me

And my nipple rings don't bother me too much

But when I hit those big speed bumps

My darling little rhinestone pumps

Keep slippin' off the mother-lovin' clutch



But still I'm drivin' a truck

Drivin' a big ol' truck

Headin' down the interstate, just tryin' to make a buck

Wearin' feather boas with sequins and chiffon

While I'm drivin' a truck with my high heels on



I'm drivin' a truck

Drivin' a truck

Got a load to carry and some eyebrows left to pluck

And I'm late for my appointment down at my hair salon

So I'll be drivin' a truck with my high heels on

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Oklahoma Superstar

(John Durrill)



Every night he jumped up, on his mama's four poster bed

With his daddy's guitar, and a cowboy hat on his head

Little Sis ran the spotlight, with a flashlight on his face

While he rode his broomstick horse all over the place

His childhood dreams kept him goin'

While the years kept draggin' past

Playin' in a thousand talent shows almost always last



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



Don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar



He still sings a little off key, and his hands get in his way

But there's not a song on the jukebox, he can't play

He says, "I'll bring the house down in Nashville

With only standing room some night

A big marquee will show my name in lights"

But the only climb he makes, is the stairs up to our room

Where he still looks in the mirror, and still sings out of tune



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



Oh don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



I said don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar

THE WHO lyrics - We're Not Gonna Take It

[Tommy:]

Welcome to the Camp,

I guess you all know why we're here.

My name is Tommy

And I became aware this year



If you want to follow me,

You've got to play pinball.

And put in your earplugs

Put on your eyeshades

You know where to put the cork



Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!

I've got you sussed.

Hey you smoking Mother Nature!

This is a bust!

Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,

Don't try to gain my trust!

'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways

Although you think you must



[Guests:]

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it



We're not gonna take it

Never did and never will

We're not gonna take it

Gonna break it, gonna shake it,

Let's forget it better still



[Tommy:]

Now you can't hear me,

Your ears are truly sealed.

You can't speak either,

Your mouth is filled.

You can't see nothing,

And pinball completes the scene.

Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to

Your very own machine.



[Guests:]

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it



We're not gonna take it

Never did and never will

Don't want no religion

And as far as we can tell

We ain't gonna take you

Never did and never will

We're not gonna take you

We forsake you

Gonna rape you

Let's forget you better still.



[Tommy:]

See me.

Feel me.

Touch me.

Heal me.



Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

I get excitement at your feet.



Right behind you,

I see the millions.

On you,

I see the glory.

From you,

I get opinions.

From you,

I get the story.



Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

I get excitement at your feet.



Right behind you,

I see the millions.

On you,

I see the glory.

From you,

I get opinions.

From you,

I get the story.



Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

I get excitement at your feet.



[Fade:]

Right behind you,

I see the millions.

On you,

I see the glory.

From you,

I get opinions.

From you,

I get the story.

THE BANGLES lyrics - Hero Takes A Fall

The hero is exposed when

His crimes are brought to the light of day

Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry

On the judgement day.



It wasn't me who said

There'll be a price to pay

And I won't feel bad at all

When the hero takes a fall

When the hero takes a fall

(Hero takes a fall) oh no.



Your mother told you stories

You substitute with girls who tell you more

Suddenly you sight a fancy chance

Since love is at your door.



We're seeing through you now

I saw it all before

And I won't feel bad at all

When the hero takes a fall

When the hero takes a fall

(Hero takes a fall) oh no.



Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.



Emotion is a virtue

For you, it is the one fatal flaw

Sitting on your throne and drinking,

Thinking she'll return your call.



Every story's got an ending

Look out! Here it comes, here it comes

And I won't feel bad at all

When the hero takes a fall

When the hero takes a fall

(Hero takes a fall) oh woe, woe hoe.



Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

FRANK WEIR lyrics - The Happy Wanderer

(Words by Antonia Ridge and Music by Friedrich W. Moller)



I love to go a-wandering

Along the mountain track

And as I go, I love to sing

My knapsack on my back



Val-deri, val-dera

Val-deri, val-dera

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Ha

Val-dera

My knapsack on my back



I love to wander by the stream

That dances in the sun

So joyously it calls to me

Come join my happy song



Val-eri, val-dera

Val-deri, val-dera

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Ha

Val-era

Come join my happy song



I wave my hat to all I meet

And They wave back to me

And blackbirds call so loud and sweet

From ev'ry green wood tree



Val-eri, val-dera

Val-deri, val-dera

Val-deri, val-dera



Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die

Oh, may I always laugh and sing

Beneath God's clear blue sky



Val-eri, val-dera

Val-eri, val-dera

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Ha

Val-dera

Beneath the clear blue sky



Beneath the clear blue sky

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - You Won't See Me Cry

(Lee Morris & Paul Hopkins)



So many times before

You just walked out my door

I'm telling you I can't take it

Can't take it any more

Every time you make it happen

Feels so sad and cold inside

Don't you miss my tender love

Temptation is knocking but you can't fight it



...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby



I'm begging you not to go now

Please don't go away

I just can't take all this heartache

Baby, please stay

Every time you make it happen

Feels so sad and cold inside

Don't you miss my tender love

Temptation is knocking but you can't fight it



...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come home

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come home

...You won't see me cry

I'm missing you like crazy...

Come home



...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come home

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby

...You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come home

...You won't see me cry

I'm begging you baby come home

...You won't see me cry

You're driving me crazy...

Come home

You won't see me cry

You're not gonna leave me...No, no, no

You won't see me cry

Please, baby baby come home

You won't see me cry

Baby come home

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Too Soon To Say Goodbye

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear

Too soon to let you go

Too soon to say, "Auf Wiederschen"

"Au revoir," no, no



Too soon to say goodbye, my dear

Too soon to rest my case

Too soon to start another journey

When we've just won the race



Not while the lanterns and chandeliers

Sway in the pale moonlight

Not while the shimmer of far and near

Holds us both so tight



Too soon to say goodbye, my dear

Too soon the tide will rise

But not 'til it reaches another shore

Will I ever say "goodbye"



Not while the music and fireworks

Sing down the hill to the sound

Not while the girls in their summer gowns

Are dancing round and round



Too soon to see the world beyond

I'm willing to be late

Let's stay right here beneath the stars

Let the voyage wait



Cause it's too soon,

Too soon, to soon to say goodbye

Too soon

PETER WOLF lyrics - Come As You Are

They hung a sign out, sign out after seven

Down at "The Hive", where you're such a busy bee

So sign in honey, sign up for heaven

Until tonight, it's you and me



Come as you are, now come on, woo woo

Come as you are, and we'll have a ball

Ain't gonna be no masquerade, woo woo

Come as you are, or don't come at all



There'll be a high time, high time at the lake side

Barry and the boys are going in for free

We'll jump the moon, take it for a joyride

I stuck it up there for you and me



Come as you are, now come on, woo woo

Come as you are, and we'll have a ball

Ain't gonna be no masquerade, woo woo

Come as you are, or don't come at all



[Instrumental]



I'm just a bluebird, bluebird at your window

And it's for sure, you're a pretty sight to see

But life's so short, I know what you're into

Come on it's you and me



Come as you are, now come on, woo woo

Come as you are, and we'll have a ball

Ain't gonna be no masquerade, woo woo

Come as you are, or don't come at all



Come as you are, now come on, woo woo

Come as you are, and we'll have a ball

Aint gonna be no masquerade, woo woo

Come as you are, or don't come at all



Come as you are!

ANDY WILLIAMS lyrics - Lonely Street

(Carl Bele, Kenny Sowder, and W. S. Stevenson)



Where's this place called

Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet



I'm looking for that lonely street

I've got a sad, sad tale to tell

I need a place to go and weep

Where's this place called

Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet



A place where there's just loneliness

Where dim lights bring forgetfulness

Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet

Where's this place called

Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet



Perhaps upon that lonely street

There's someone such as I

Who came to bury broken dreams

And watch an old love di-ie



If I could find that lonely street

Where dim lights bring forgetfulness

Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet

Where's this place called

Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet



Where's this place called

Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet

ERIC BURDON lyrics - Tobacco Road

(John D. Loudermilk)



I was born in a bunk

Mother died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road



Grew up in a dusty shack

And all I had was a'hangin' on my back

Only you know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road



But it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road



I'm gonna leave and get a job

With the help and the grace from above

Save some money, get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road



Bring Dynamite and a crane

Blow you up, start all over again

Build a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road



Cause it's home

The only life I've ever known

Oh I despise and disapprove you

But I love ya, 'cause it's home

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - I Concentrate On You

(C. Porter)



[Recorded Januare 30, 1967, Hollywood]



Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew

Whenever the winter winds become too strong

I concentrate on you



When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me

And people declare "You're through"

Whenever the blues become my only songs

I concentrate on you



On your smile, so sweet, so tender

When at first my kiss you do decline

On the light in your eyes when you surrender

And once again our arms intertwine



And so when wise men say to me

That love's young dream never comes true

To prove that even the wise men can be wrong

I concentrate on you



[instrumental to end]

ISAAC HAYES lyrics - This Time I'll Be Sweeter

(G. Guthrie/P. Grant)



Darlin', can't you see

What losin' you has done to me?

I'm not the same girl I used to be



Have a change of heart,

Don't leave me standin' in the dark

Don't let confusion keep us apart



Come back to me,

And I'll guarantee

All the tenderness and love you'll ever need



This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me



Since you've been away,

I haven't seen the light of day;

I'm lost without you,

Can't find my way



So won't you please be fair,

And let me show how much I care,

Say you'll be mine

And answer my pray'r



Come back to me,

And I promise I'll be

Ev'rything that's bright and new,

Your whole life through



This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me

ALICE COOPER lyrics - From The Inside

(Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner / David Foster)



I got lost on the road somewhere

Was it Texas or was it Canada

Drinking whiskey in the morning light

I work the stage all night long

At first we laughed about it

My long haired drunken friends

Proposed a toast to Jimmy's ghost

I never dreamed that I would wind up on the losing end



I'm stuck here on the inside looking out

I'm just another case

Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside



All got your kicks from what you saw up there

Eight bucks even buys a folding chair

I was downing seagrams on another flight

And I worked that stage all night long

You were screaming for the villain up there

And I was much obliged

The old road sure screwed me good this time

It's hard to see where the vicious circle ends



I'm stuck here on the inside looking out

That's no big disgrace

Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside

UFO lyrics - Perfect View

My sweet darling night

How the city swings

A little kiss of angels

A little tune of things

And she mesmerizes,

Captivates

A message for

A heart that aches



Now you are 16

And your stuck in jail

18 plus

There's no sign of bail

And she mesmerizes,

Captivates

A message for

A heart that aches



My thousand dollars

Ain't going nowhere

And the revelations

Kiss, tell, and dare

I've got a perfect view

Of what I want to do

I've got a perfect view

Am I getting through to you?



21 is easy,

But I don't know why

There's no difference

This bird will fly



My thousand dollars

Ain't going nowhere

And the revelations

Kiss, tell, and dare

I've got a perfect view

Of what I want to do

I've got a perfect view

Am I getting through to you?



[Solo]



And she mesmerizes,

Captivates

A message for a

Heart that aches



My sweet darling night

How the city swings

A little kiss of angels

A little tune of things

My thousand dollars

Ain't going nowhere

And the revelations

Kiss, tell, and dare

I've got a perfect view

Of what I want to do

I've got a perfect view

Am I getting through to you?



I've got a perfect view

Of what I really want to do

I've got a perfect view

Am I getting through to you?



Perfect view



I've got a perfect view

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Bangla Desh

My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes

He told me that he wanted help

Before his country dies



Although I couldn't feel the pain, I knew I had to try

Now I'm asking all of you

To help us save some lives



Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh

Where so many people are dying fast

And it sure looks like a mess

I've never seen such distress

Now won't you lend your hand and understand

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh



Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh

Such a great disaster - I don't understand

But it sure looks like a mess

I've never known such distress

Now please don't turn away, I want to hear you say

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Relieve Bangla Desh



Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh

Now it may seem so far from where we all are

It's something we can't neglect

It's something I can't neglect

Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed

We've got to relieve Bangla Desh

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

We've got to relieve Bangla Desh

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

LUCINDA WILLIAMS lyrics - Knowing

I didn't know what love meant before

I didn't know what you had waiting for me in store

I didn't know that I'd be finding out so much more

About the knowing and the knowing is all there is



About yes and yes, this is it

I didn't know



I didn't know what precious time would make

I didn't know how fragile a kiss could seem

I didn't know that finally all of dawn is trained

About the knowing and the knowing is all there is



About yes and yes, this is it

I didn't know



I didn't know I'd never look at life the same

I didn't know until I walked with you in the rain

I didn't know until I found out you felt the same

About the knowing and the knowing is all there is



About yes and yes, this is it

I didn't know



I didn't know until together we lay

I didn't know until you touched my soul that day

I didn't know that you would teach me in your own way

About the knowing and the knowing is all there is



About yes and yes, this is it

I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Destiny

Look at the world outside

Beware its evil tide

Too many endless days

Cold streets and alleyways

The poor come crawling out

They speak but never shout

I think you'd rather be alone



You're hiding in a shell

So easy I can tell

Can you sell me some thoughts

Though drugs just can't be bought

Tell me is it some crime

To wait a long time

I think you'd rather be alone



Can you hear me

Can you see

I don't want this destiny

To be destined

Destiny



Something's been happening here

Don't touch

Don't come so near

Don't ask me to reply

Can't think of no more lies

The hand thate reaches out

Can crush without a doubt

I think you'd rather be alone



Oh much is left unexplained

It's getting to my brain

Yet still you wear that smile

Then walk your crooked mile

Some day you're bound to learn

Too late

There's no return

I think you'd rather be alone



Can you hear me

Can you see

I don't want this destiny

To be destined

Destiny

TESLA lyrics - What You Give

Who's the one that makes you happy?

Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?

And who is the reason you're livin' for?

Who's the reason for your smile?



I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one

To ever feel this way.

I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane.

I'm goin' crazy, outta my head.

Goin' crazy, outta my head.

Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love,

And what you give.



Now, ev'ry one needs somebody.

And you know, ev'rybody needs someone.

Well, and a-yes it's true!

Ev'rybody needs a special kind of love,

And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of.

You mean the world to me.

You are my only!



I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one

To carry on this way.

I love ya so much I lose track-a time,

Lose track of the days.

I'm goin' outta my head,

Goin' crazy, outta my head.

Can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love,

And what you give.



It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.

It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.

It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,

It's not whatcha got, a-but the life you live.

It's the life you live.

[Spoken:] Play it pretty for the world.



You're the one that makes me happy. Oh yeah baby.

And you're the one always on my mind. And a-yes it's true.

You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for

Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more. (To Chorus)



It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.

It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.

No, no, no, no, no!

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.

And it ain't what it's not, but a-what it is!



Only what you give, only what you give. It's only what you give.

It's not whatcha got, a-but a-what you give.

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. A-what you give woman.

It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.

It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,

It's not whatcha got, but a-what you give.

It's only what you give. Only what you give. Yeah, yeah, yeah.



Only what you give. Only what you give.

Only what you give, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is that good enough for the girls we run around with?

I do believe so. Ooh, ooh, uh-huh.

Only what you give, what you give. Only what you give.

Only what you give.

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - All Night's All Right

(Weldon Dean Parks)



Ooh ooh

You're all alone

Well, so am I

We could dance all night

Are you willing to try

All night's all right

If you're in no hurry - well

Neither am I

Do you like to boogie

Well just stop on by

All night's all right

All night's all right



Ooh ooh

Mama's away

Daddy too

Me and you all alone

With nothing to do

All night's all right

We're taking it slow

We're taking it fast

Do you like tomorrow

Make it last

All night's all right

All night's all right



All night's all right

All night's all right

All night's all right

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Coming Down The Road

(John Mellencamp)



Well I heard the bells of freedom once

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

And I followed that echo wherever it would go

As I was coming down the road

But there always seemed to be trouble in my path

I found my hands tied behind my back

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road



Well I heard the truth call my name

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road

And I followed that voice to the valley below

As I was coming down the road

And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time

I found some truth but it could never be mine

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road



And I saw myself for a second as I really am

As I was coming down the road

And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose

As I was coming down the road

I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me

And I wasn't the fella that I thought I'd be

As I was coming down the road

Coming down the road



I saw you out my window

As you was walking alone

Coming down the road

And I raised my hand as if to say hello

As I was coming down the road

But you didn't wave back

You just walked on by

Alone by yourself

Till the day you die

And I guess the truth and freedom before us all are lies

Somewhere down the road

Somewhere down the road

GARY MOORE lyrics - Rockin' Every Night

Alright!

Let me tell you 'bout a place I know.

The kind of place where the kids all go.

Come along baby you can shake off your blues.

Don't be shy, you've got nothin' to lose.



We'll be rockin' every night

Rollin' till the break of day.

Rockin' every night

Rollin' till the break of day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.



Let me tell you about a girl I met.

She made it hard for me to forget.

She said

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies."

So I gave it to her straight between the eyes.



We were rockin' every night

Rollin' till the break of day.

Rockin' every night

Rollin' till the break of day.

That's right, we were rockin'.

Alright!

You know what I mean.



I don't care if they call the cops.

I'm gonna keep on rockin' till the party stops.

You can leave if there's to much noise.

You know what they say

Boys will always be boys.

That's right.

You know what I mean.



Rockin' every night

Rollin' till the break of day.

We were rockin' every night,

Rollin' till the break of day.

That's right, yeah!



I don't care if the neighbours shout.

I don't care if they kick me out.

I'll come right back and knock down the door.

'Cause when I start to rock

You know I always want more.

Always want more, just like my name says.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.



Keep on rockin'.

Keep on rollin'.

Keep on rockin'.

Keep on rollin'

Every night.

10CC lyrics - I'm Mandy Fly Me

Just like a rollin' stone

I'm outside lookin' in

But if your chance came would you take it

Where on earth do I begin

I'm Mandy fly me

I've often heard her jingle

It's never struck a chord

With a smile as bright as sunshine

She called me through the poster

And welcomed me aboard

She led me she fed me

She read me like a book

But I'm hiding in the small print

Won't you take another look

And take me away

Try me Mandy fly me away

The world was spinning like a ball

And then it wasn't there at all

And as my heart began to fall

I saw her walking on the water

As the sharks were comin' for me

I felt Mandy pull me up give me the kiss of life

Just like the girl in Dr. No No No No

Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage

And her body couldn't be found

Was it in my mind it seems

I had a crazy dream

I told them so but they said no no no no

I found me on a street

And starin' at a wall

If it hadn't have been for Mandy

Her promise up above me

Well I wouldn't be here at all

So if you're travellin' in the sky

Don't be surprised if someone said Hi

I'm Mandy fly me)

BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Love Says It's Waiting

You were told to wait there for love.

Love says it's waiting for you.



And all I want to say

is I know it's never easy

getting all dressed up with no place to go.



Help, for, that's what we're here for.

All one together.

Is no one alone?



Come see your sister.

Call her your own.

Will no one hold you?

We'll hold you.

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - You Are My Lover

(Lee)



You are my lover and my best friend

I think I've found the perfect blend

I don't want this to ever end

'Cause I don't know what I'd do then



I was drifting along from man to man

They slipped through my fingers like they're made of sand

I wouldn't put up with their demands

Everytime they did, I turned and ran



I was going through hell when I met you

You said you were going through the same thing too

I was so lonely everything looked blue

You've been just like a dream come true



You are my lover and my best friend

I think I've found the perfect blend

I don't want this to ever end

'Cause I don't know what I'd do then



We're like two lovers in the movies

Stranded on an island out of reach

That's always been my secret fantasy

Making love, right on the beach



I was going through hell when I met you

You said you were going through the same thing too

I was so lonely everything looked blue

You've been just like a dream come true



You are my lover and my best friend

I think I've found the perfect blend

I don't want this to ever end

'Cause I don't know what I'd do then

IGGY POP lyrics - Dum Dum Boys

Things have been tough

Without the dum dum boys

I can't seem to speak

The language

I remember how they

Used to stare at the ground

They looked as if they

Put the whole world

Looked as if they put

The whole world down



The first time I saw

The dum dum boys

I was fascinated

They just stood in front

Of the old drug store

I was most impressed

No one else was impressed

Not at all

And we'd sing

Da-da-da-da-da-da

Dum dum day

Where are you now my

Dum dum boys are you

Alive or dead

Have you left me the last

Of the dum dum daze

Then the sun goes down

And the boys broke down



People said we were negative

They said we'd take but

We would never give

But we'd sing da-da-da

Da-da-da dum dum day

Da-da-da-da-da dum

And hope it would pay

Da-da-da-da it's been

A dumdumdum day

A dum dum day



Now I'm looking for

The dum dum boys

Where are you now

When I need your noise



Now I'm looking for

The dum dum boys

The walls close in and

I need some noise

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Purgatory

(Steve Harris)



Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,

Fantasies lived times before.

I split my brain, melt through the floor.



Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.

My body tries to leave my soul.

Or is it me, I just don't know.

Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast.

Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.



Oh another time, another place.

Oh another smile on another face.

When you see me floating up beside you,

You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.



Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.



Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,

Fantasies lived times before.

I split my brain, melt through the floor.



Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.

My body tries to leave my soul.

Or is it me, I just don't know.

Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast.

Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.



Oh another time, another place.

Oh another smile on another face.

When you see me walking up beside you,

You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.



Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

VAN MORRISON lyrics - One Irish Rover

Tell me the story now

Now that it's over

Wrap it in glory

For one Irish Rover



Tell me you're wiser now

Tell me you're older

Wrap it in glory

For one Irish Rover



Bridge:

I can tell by the light in your eye

That you're so far away

Like a ship out on the sea

Without a sail, you've gone astray



Tell me the facts real straight

Don't make me over

Wrap it in glory

For one Irish Rover

Tell me you see the light

Tell me you know me

Make it come out alright

And wrap it in glory

For one Irish Rover

For one Irish Rover

One Irish Rover

One Irish Rover

ROBERT PLANT lyrics - Tie Dye On The Highway

Tie dye on the highway - see the garlands in your hair

If you're going my way, come along

What a beautiful sky - we just had to stop and stare

See the beautiful colours fill the air



(Oh, just the messengers of peace)

Oh, do you remember - across the burning years

Sweet smell of the mystery I recall

Hang me on Miguel - a smile through all my fears

O high Olympus, touch our soul



With the messengers of peace and the company of love

All the passion and release, and love from up above

Say you will come back with me - say you will come back



Tie dye on the highway - the wheels still turn around

Dance to the mariachi - take my hand

Hope springs eternal when laughter's feeling sound

Move in the mystic wasted land



With the messenger of peace and the company of love

All the passion and release, and love from up above

(You know that it is true)

From the desert in my art, where the innocent may love

All the passions they release, and the love from up above

Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Silver Bells

(Ray Evans - Jay Livingston)



Silver bells, silver bells

Its christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be christmas day



City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air theres a feeling of christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner youll hear



Silver bells, silver bells

Its christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be christmas day



Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch

This is santas big scene

And above all this bustle youll hear



Silver bells, silver bells

Its christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be christmas day

THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - Do You Know The Way To San Jose?

Do you know the way to San Jose?

I've been away so long

I may go wrong and lose my way



Do you know the way to San Jose?

I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose



L. A. is a great big freeway

Put a hundred down and buy a car

In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star

Weeks turn into years

How quick they pass

And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas



Do you know the way to San Jose?

I've got lots of friends in San Jose

Do you know the way to San Jose?

I've got lots of friends in San Jose
