SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Fat Man & Dancing Girl



I stand in a wide flat land

No shadow or shade of a doubt

Whore the megaphone man

Met the girl with her hand that's

Covering most of her mouth



Fall in love with a bright idea

And the way a world is revealed to you

Fat man and dancing girl

And most of the show is concealed from view



Monkey in the middle

Keeps singing that tune

I don't want to hear it

Get rid of it soon



MC on the stage tonight

Is a man named Billy Purl

He's The International Fun Boy

And he knows the worth of beautiful girl



Stand on the tightrope

Never dreamed I would fall



Monkey in the middle

Keeps doing that trick

It's making me nervous

Get rid of it quick



I stand in a wide flat land

No shadow or shade of a doubt

Where the megaphone man

Met the girl with her hand

That's covering most of her mouth



Does she tell the truth?

Does she hide the lie?

Does she say it so no one can know?

Fat man and the dancing girl

And it's all part of the show



Stand on the tightrope

Never dreamed I could fall



Monkey in the middle

Keeps singing that tune

I don't want to hear it

Get rid of it soon



Monkey in the middle

Keeps doing that trick

It's making me nervous

Get rid of it quick


THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - I'll Try Something New



Eddie:

I will build you a castle with a tower so high, till it reach as the moon.

I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly, and compose you a tune.

Give you lovin' as warm as Mama's oven.

And if that don't do, then I'll try something new. (I'll try something new)



Diana:

Oh, I will take you away with me as far as I can.

To Venus or Mars.

There we will love with your hand in my hand.

You'll be king of the stars.

Every day we can play on the Milky Way.

If that don't do.

I'll have to try something new. (I'll try something new)



Melvin:

I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea...

(Yeah, to wear in your hair)



Diana:

Thank you.

I'll do anything and everything to make you happy, boy.

To show you that I care... I care.



Eddie:

I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas and if that don't do.

I'll try something new.



Ooo, something new. (I'll try something new)

I'll try something new. (I'll try something new)

Something new. (I'll try something new)

I'll try something new. (I'll try something new)

If that boy don't suceed, try again and then you'll see. (I'll try something new)

Something new. (I'll try something new)

Something new.


ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Last Song



Yesterday you came to lift me up

As light as straw and brittle as a bird

Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall

Just one more whisper of a voice unheard



Tomorrow leave the windows open

As fear grows please hold me in your arms

Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger

I need your gentle hands to keep me calm



`Cause I never thought I'd lose

I only thought I'd win

I never dreamed I'd feel

This fire beneath my skin

I can't believe you love me

I never thought you'd come

I guess I misjudged love

Between a father and his son



Things we never said come together

The hidden truth no longer haunting me

Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken

That kind of understanding sets me free

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Dues



I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.

Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.

I'm not stupid and I might be havin' too much pride.

Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.



Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.

Evil souls are upon us and we're surely runnin' out of time.



CHORUS

I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.

In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.

Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.

Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.



I might be workin' on a scene that I can never act.

Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.

I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.

Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.



Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.

My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.



CHORUS



Can we ever stop payin' dues.

Can we ever stop payin' dues.

Can we ever stop payin' dues.


IRON BUTTERFLY lyrics - Possession



When a man has a woman

and he doesn't really love her

why does he burn inside

when she starts to love another



It's possession,

It's possession.



It's possession,

It's possession.



It's possession,

It's possession.


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - London Sky



(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Lister)



There are men on the roofs against the grey-white sky

There are men on the roofs and I don't know why

They follow the clouds crossing other people's places

They walk with the wind and they don't leave traces

Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows

Men on the roofs going where no one goes



Ether's line, lag of time

World is gone, northern song

Chimneys write clouds in flight

It's no lie

London sky

Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows

Men on the roofs going where no one goes



Darkest name of the plane

High above war fears dove

Rain forethought, untried chord

Crows go West, home is best

Ether's line, lag of time

World is gone, northern song

Chimneys write clouds in flight

It's no lie

London sky


CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL lyrics - Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)



(J. Fogerty)



Who will take the coal from the mine?

Who will take the salt from the earth?

Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?

Don't look now, it ain't you or me

Who will work the field with his hands?

Who will put his back to the plough?

Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?

Don't look now, it ain't you or me



Chorus:

Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'

Don't look now, someone's done your prayin' too



Who will make the shoes for your feet?

Who will make the clothes that you wear?

Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?

Don't look now, it ain't you or me



Chorus

Who will take the coal from the mines?

Who will take the salt from the earth?

Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?

Don't look now, it ain't you or me


PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Delivery Delayed



(Stan Rogers)



How early is beginning?

From when is there a soul?

Do we discover living,

Or somehow are we told?

In sudden pain, in empty cold

In blinding light of day

We're given breath and it takes our breath away



How cruel to unformed fancy,

The way in which we come

Overwhelmed by feelings

And sudden loss of love

And what price dark confining

The heart is to forgive

When all at once we're called upon to live



Then by giant hands we're taken

From the shelter of the womb

That dreaded first horizon

The endless empty room

Where communion is lost forever

When a heart first beats alone

Still it remembers no matter how it's grown



We grow, but grow apart

We live, but more alone

The more to be, the more to see

To cry aloud that we are free

To hide the ancient fear of being alone



And now we live in darkness

Embracing spiteful holds

Refusing any answers

For no man can be told

That delivery is delayed

Until at last we're made aware

And first reach for love

To find t'was always there

Always there.

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - He Said Love



There once was a man

Who was born to be king

He changed all our lives

And he made my heart sing

He turned water into wine

And called his fishermen

He cured the sick

The lame could walk

The blind could see again

He told us of the shepherds

And the flowers in the field

The story of the farmer's seed

And the harvest it would yield

He told us of two houses

And the man who lost his son

Of two men in the temple

And the Good Samaritan



Love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home



He healed the soldier's servant

He calmed the raging sea

He shared five loaves and two small fish

And five thousand he did feed

He told the rich men share your wealth

He cured the ten sick men

He raised a friend called Lazarus

And made him whole again



He said love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home



He taught the children how to pray

The children he did bless

And Mary came with perfume

Before his feet she wept

He gave us bread - his body

He gave us wine - his blood

He asked us all to live in peace

And nothing do but good

Now one friend did betray him

Another did deny

With arms outstretched he died

So all of mankind could survive



There once was a man

Who was born to be king

He'll change all your lives

If you'll just let him in



He said love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home



Love and understanding carries you home



Love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Higher and higher

He said love

Only love's gonna carry you home

Love...


RAY CHARLES lyrics - I Believe To My Soul



One of these days, and it won't be long,

You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone

'Cause I believe (I believe, yes I believe)



I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)

Well I believe to my soul now,

You're tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it, I believe it)

Well you're goin' 'round here with your head so hard,

I think I'm gonna have to use my rod

'Cause I believe (I believe, yes I believe)



I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)

Well I believe to my soul now

You're tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it, I believe it)

Last night you were dreaming and I heard you say

"Oh, Johnny" when you know my name is Ray

That's why I believe right now(I believe, yes I believe)



I say I believe right now (I believe, yes I believe)

Well I believe to my soul now

You're tryin' to make a fool of me (I believe it)


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Grandma's Feather Bed



When I was a little bitty boy, just up off a floor,

we used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so.

We'd have chicken pie and country ham, homemade butter on the bread.

But the best darn thing about Grandma's house was her great big feather bed.

It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,

took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.

It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.



After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks would spit and chew.

Pa would talk about the farm and the war, and Granny'd sing a ballad or two.

I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head,

next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning

in the middle of the old feather bed.



It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,

took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.

It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.



Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa, I love Granny and Grandpa too.

I been fishing with my uncle, I ras'led with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, ew!

But if I ever had to make a choice, I guess it oughta be said

that I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road for Grandma's feather bed.

I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road...

I'll have to reconsider 'bout the gal down the road:



It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,

took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.

It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed.

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed.


STEVE PERRY lyrics - I Am



(Perry, Taylor, Brewster)



We were lost and alone

Somewhere so very new

Caught in the magic of love

And your forgiveness

Selfish and too blind to see

Love was our music and, oh



I am lost in a world of emptiness

I am learning to tell the truth



Somewhere, somebody new

We shared faith without truth

With only my words left I turn

To your forgiveness

Eyes in the darkness they cry

Tears are forever and, oh



I am lost in a world of emptiness

I am learning to tell the truth

So many roads to choose



I am lost in a world of emptiness

I am learning to tell the truth

I am lost in a world of emptiness

I am learning to tell the truth

So many roads to choose

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)



[Barbra:]

It's raining, it's pouring

My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years

[Donna:]

No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance

We don't stand a chance



[Barbra:]

I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover

But he turned out to be like every other man

Our love, our love



[Both:]

Raining (raining)

Pouring (pouring)

There's nothing left for us here

And we won't waist another tear



[Donna:]

If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it



[Barbra:]

If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it



[Donna:]

Tell him to just get out,



[Barbra:]

Nothing left to talk about



[Donna:]

Pack his raincoat show him out



[Both:]

Just look him in the eye and simply shout:

Enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on no more no

Enough is enough

I want him out, I want him out that door now



Enough is enough

Enough is enough

That's enough



[Donna:]

If you've reached the end, don't pretend that is right when it's over



[Barbra:]

(it's over)

If the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get it over



[Donna:]

(over, over)



[Both:]

Tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out:

Enough is enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on no more no

Enough is enough is enough

I want him out, I want him out that door now



Enough is enough

Enough is enough

That's enough



[Barbra:]

I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover,

But he turns out to be like every other man

Our love (I had no choice from the start)

Our love (I've gotta listen to my heart)

Our love (Tearing us apart)



Enough is enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on no more no

Enough is enough is enough

I want him out, I want him out that door now



Enough is enough

Enough is enough

That's enough



[Both:]

No more tears (No more tears)

No more tears (No more tears)

No more tears (No more tears)

No more tears (No more tears)

Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough

I've had it, you've had it he's had it, we've had is



[Donna:]

I always dreamed I find the perfect lover,



[Barbra:]

But he turned out to be like every other man



[Both:]

I had no choice from the start

I've gotta listen to my heart

Tearing us apart



Enough is enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on no more no

Enough is enough is enough

I want him out, I want him out that door now



Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister

Goodbye sugar



It's raining, it's pouring,

There's nothing left for us here

And we won't waist another tear



No more tears

Is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough

Is enough!


INXS lyrics - Please (You Got That...)



I've come to tell you 'bout the story I see

It made of honey but it sting like a bee

Got the message that it come from the floor

And that's the way to get yourself in trouble



You think it's easy 'cause you don't know the feeling

Make it up

Make it up like you do no wrong

Give me fever like a man blind from passion

If you got the time I'll show you how to turn it on



Please

You got that need



She got her ways to get me down on the floor

And take me places that I never seen before

Someone told me I got to take it easy

But I'm a junkie

A junkie when the heat is on


VAN MORRISON lyrics - Half As Much



(Curly Williams)



If you loved me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to let me down



If you miss me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never be this blue

If you only loved me half as much as I love you



If you loved me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to let me down



If you miss me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never be this blue

If you only loved me half as much as I love you

If you only loved me half as much as I love you

If you only loved me half as much as I love you


YELLO lyrics - Pan Blue



I know I never knew till now what love and life were all about

I never could at any time forget the day that you were mine

Another day, another night, Im lost again, blue morning light

I never could at any time forget the day that you were mine



I want the ocean

I want emotion

I want your eyes, and oh your lullabys



Hes out there [repeat]

Feel good [repeat - fade in and out 3x]



I want the ocean

I want emotion

I want your eyes, and oh your lullabys

I want the ocean

I want the ocean

BRENDA LEE lyrics - At The Moonlight



(D. Cook - R. VanHoy)



Ah, backseat, back road, drive-in movie shows

Ya got your daddy's car tonight

Eight straight hours of old monster movies at the Moonlight

Every kind of single feature has a different kind of

Creature and Brenda's begging ya to stay

Hell, we might as well,

Cause we havn't seen the other two anyway



Have ya ever kissed your baby in the moonlight

All around the shoulders, feeling alright

Hugging and a kissing on me almost all night long

Fogging up the window till ya cant see out

We're learning what loving's all about

The actions in the backseat out of sight

Have ya ever kissed your baby in the moonlight



Ya reach for a cold beer the car slips out of gear

We started rolling away

Tangled up to much to do much of anything anyway

Just hit a Cadilac, a man storming toward the back

Screaming "There'll Be Hell To Pay!"

There's no explaination for this kind of situation,

I preceeded to say------Anyway,



Have ya ever kissed your baby in the moonlight

All around the shoulders, feeling alright

Hugging and a kissing on me almost all night long

Fogging up the window till ya cant see out

We're learning what loving's all about

The actions in the backseat out of sight

Have ya ever kissed your baby in the moonlight

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - I Love Paris



Every time I look down on this timeless town

Whether blue or gray be the sky

Whether loud be her cheers or where soft be her tears

More and more do I realize



I love Paris in the springtime

I love Paris in the fall

I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

Ooh, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles



I love Paris every moment

Every moment of the year

I love Paris

Why oh why do I love Paris

Because my love is so near



Oh, I love Paris every moment

Every moment of the year

I love Paris

My oh my do I love Paris

Because my love is near

Love is near

Love is near

Ah, Paris


BOB DYLAN lyrics - Man Gave Names To All The Animals



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal that liked to growl

Big furry paws and he liked to howl

Great big furry back and furry hair

"Ah, think I'll call it a bear".



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal up on a hill

Chewing up so much grass until she was filled

He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how

"Ah, think I'll call it a cow".



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal that liked to snort

Horns on his head and they weren't too short

It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull

"Ah, I'll think I'll call it a bull".



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail

Real dirty face and a curly trail

He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big

"Ah, think I'll call it a pig".



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



Next animal that he did meet

Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet

Eating grass on a mountainside so steep

"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep".



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal as smooth as glass

Slithering his way through the grass

Saw him dissappear by a tree near a lake.....


QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Lush Life



[Written in 1949 by Billy Strayhorn, the noted Duke Ellington collaborator]



I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

To get the feel of life...

From jazz and cocktails.



The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

With distant gay traces

That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away

By too many through the day...

Twelve o'clock tales.



Then you came along with your siren of song

To tempt me to madness!

I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness

Of a great love for me.



Ah yes! I was wrong...

Again,

I was wrong.



Life is lonely again,

And only last year everything seemed so sure.

Now life is awful again,

A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.

A week in paris will ease the bite of it,

All I care is to smile in spite of it.



I'll forget you, I will

While yet you are still burning inside my brain.

Romance is mush,

Stifling those who strive.

I'll live a lush life in some small dive...

And there I'll be, while I rot

With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..


NEW EDITION lyrics - A Thousand Miles Away

J. J. CALE lyrics - Brown Dirt



(J. J. Cale)



Brown dirt, stickin' to my fingers

Brown dirt, clingin' to my feet

Brown dirt, Mississippi bottom land

Pickin' that cotton for the man down the street

Brown dirt, raisin' his vegetables

Brown dirt, growin' his grass

Brown dirt, walkin' down the pathway

Pickin' that cotton now I hope it is my last

Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay

Brown dirt, cover my body

I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day

Brown dirt wet, you're sinkin'

Brown dirt dry, you dust

Brown dirt, I've been thinkin'

We'll all come to you and we won't be the first

Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay

Cover my body

I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day

If a stick moves, it's a snake

If a water is still, it's a lake

If you harm yourself, you know it hurts

Final destination, brown dirt


BONNIE RAITT lyrics - (I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend



Fate is mighty cruel

Where true love is concerned

It seems you give out more

Than you ever have returned

Lately I have tried

To make it on my own

Another nite has passed

Looks like I'm bound to be alone

Bound to be alone



Now solitude is fine

When you really need it

When your soul is dry

Sometimes loneliness can feed it

When you need a lover

You know there's nothin' else will do

When you need love most

You know it turns it's back on you



Oh, I can make it thru without your company

I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me

I thot that I could count on you

To hear me cryin' out

I guess that's one comfort

I will learn to do without



Fallin love too easily

But never quite so fast

So you are not the first and, lord

You sure won't be the last

The thing about the situation

That makes me feel so sad

I could've been the best old friend

That you have ever had

I could've been the best old friend

That you have ever had


NEIL YOUNG lyrics - The Way



The way, we know the way. We've seen the way

We'll show the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



If you're lost and think you can't be found

We know the way, we've got the way

We'll lead the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



The way, we know the way. We've got the way

We'll share the way

To bring you back home

To the peace where you belong



So many lost highways

That used to lead home

But now they seem used up and gone

They sure had the magic

When they were first found



But not this road

This road has never been closed

It's still brand new



The way, we know the way. We've seen the way

We'll show the way

To bring you back home

To the peace where you belong



If you're lost and think you can't be found

We know the way. We've got the way

We'll lead the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



Where you belong, where you belong, where you belong

We know the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



When faceless and anonymous

Come to beat down your door

And say you're all washed up and done

You can just say they have nothing in store



To touch this soul

Because they just don't know

They just don't know

The way



The way, we know the way. We've seen the way

We'll show the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



The way, we got the way, we know the way

We'll lead the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



If you're lost and think you can't be found

We know the way. We've found the way

We'll share the way

To getcha back home

To the peace where you belong



The way, we know the way. We've seen the way

We'll show the way

To get you back home

To the peace where you belong

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - King Of The Wide World



(Batchelor - Roberts)



A poor man wants the oyster

A rich man wants the pearl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



The rich man wants the princess

The poor man just wants a girl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



A poor man wants to be a rich man

A rich man wants to be a king

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world



Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world


JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Rambunctious Boy



My oh my I'm a restless guy

Got a home everywhere I go



Well I ain't good lookin'

And I ain't so smart

But baby I'm a sensitive guy

I ain't done everything there is to do

But I'll damn sure give it a try



I'm a lookin'

I'm a lookin'

For a big time bookin' with you

So come on baby

Let's go howlin' at the honky-tonk moon



I'm a rambunctious boy

Rambunctious boy

Oh my I'm a restless guy

Got a home everywhere I go

I'm-a trouble on the run

Heartbreakin' son of a gun

Oh yeah I'm a rambunctious boy



I'll be workin' all week in the big boss yard

I 'bout had it up to here

I ain't got time for a caribean cruise

Just give me a song and a beer



I feel like rompin'

Stompin'

And bronkin' it up real loud

So come on baby

Tell your girlfriend

There's a crowd



I'm a rambunctious boy

Rambunctious boy

Oh my I'm a restless guy

Got a home everywhere I go

I'm-a trouble on the run

Heartbreakin' son of a gun

Oh yeah I'm a rambunctious boy



I'm a rambunctious boy

Rambunctious boy

Oh my I'm a restless guy

Got a home everywhere I go

I'm-a trouble on the run

Heartbreakin' son of a gun

Oh yeah I'm a rambunctious boy


SLASH lyrics - Saint Is A Sinner Too



Hold my hands down

So they don't



In case you don't know

A saint is a sinner too



Blind my eyes so they

So I can't see



What coming for you

Is coming for me



I hear the choir sing

Calling me on back to you



And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do

When a saint is a sinner too



I hear the choir sing

Calling me on back to you



And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do

When a saint is a sinner too

A saint is a sinner too



Hold hold my hands down

Hold my hands down



I don't reach

I don't reach

So I don't reach for you



Oh oh

A saint is a sinner too

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - It's Too Late



Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here, there can be no denying

One of us is changing

Or maybe we just stopped trying



And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died

And I can't hide and I just can't fake it



It used to be so easy living here with you

You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do

Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool



And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died

And I can't hide and I just can't fake it



There'll be good times again for me and you

But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too

Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you



But it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide

And I just can't fake it


PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Colours



Deep inside the border

Children are crying

Fighting for food

Holding their heads

Breaking their bread with a stone



All along the roadside

people are standing

watching the sun

shielding their eyes

Brushing the flies from their face



Tell me, what can you say

Tell me, who do you blame

Like a mirror you see yourself

These people each have a name



All around the township

Young men are dying

(of) hunger and thirst

The well has run dry

The tears from her eye feeds her son



Tell me...



You can say you're pulling back

We see the pictures everywhere

But what we don't see is what's

Going on behind the closed doors

And you don't seem to care



Do you expect me to believe you

How can you really think

You can take your horse down to the water

Hold a gun at his head

And make him drink



No matter what you say, it never gets any better

No matter what you do, we never see any change



People living without rights

Without their dignity

How loud does one man have to shout

To earn his right to be free



You can keep your toy soldiers

To segregate the black and white

But when the dust settles

And the blood stops running

How do you sleep at night?



No matter what you say...



What makes you so high and mighty

What makes you so qualified

You can sit there and say

How many have their freedom

But how many more have died



You decide to sit in judgement

Trying to play God yourself

Someday soon the buck is gonna stop

Stop with you and noone else



No matter...


JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - L. U.V



Guilty 'till proven innocent.

I'm thinking about the government

Wondering where the money went.

Into outer space, I guess.

Lying cs's everywhere.

Pretty boys in their underwear.

Statue of Liberty.

Who really cares

About freedom.



Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv



Throw up, throw down.

Get yourself a better town.

All these towns look the same

Self pity, number one recreation.

We're dying in the USA.

Preacher man, he keeps

Preachin'

While he covets your wife.

I ain't sayin' what's good

I ain't sayin' what's right.



Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv



Wait a minute, let me check my tan.

Am I the same color as Superman?

Helter skelter in a foreign land.

Monkeys versus dogs,

Lying under a big palm tree

With cream and bananas all over me.

That's the way it's supposed to be

Here in the Garden of Eden.



Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv


SWEET lyrics - Falling In Love



If ever there was a man

Who needed love then you'll understand

My heart couldn't be wrong

I lost my head when she came along

Guess I'm back in the game, baby

Here I go again

When it happened before I got hurt

And I can't stand the pain

(Can't stand the pain)

And I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh

Yes I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh



A kind of loving began

That turned me into a passionate man

She took my heart and my soul

I couldn't help it I was losing control

Another one of those nights, baby

Then I saw the light

There was no looking back

As I left all the others behind

(All left behind)



And I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh

Yes I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh



If ever there was a man

Who had the world in the palm of his hand

I got no time for the past

When there's a future that's build to last

Now I'm back in the game, baby

Here I go again

'Cause it's easy to sing

Just as long as the song stays the same

(Song stays the same)



And I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh

Yes I know that I'm falling in love again

Oh Oh

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Brokenhearted



You've been living in a world of fiction, and you can't see who's wrong, no

You've been living in the past, it's a contradiction, and this can't carry on



When I get lonely, you will too

You better face the fact that no one'll come 'n' want you, baby



Chorus:

Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you

Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you



You've been heading down the road to nowhere, and you don't know the way

There used to be a time I'd be there, but now I've got no need to stay



So take a look around you, remember who you are

You know you had your chance, but now you've pushed me way too far



chorus



I know you know what it feels like to have friends that tell you wrong

When you come running to me, you'll find that I can be so strong



(Solo)



You've been living in a dream, it's ending, so open up your eyes

And you've been living out a lie, pretending

Fooling yourself, and you don't know why



When you get lonely, when you get down

You better face the fact that I won't be around, baby



chorus repeats out...


RINGO STARR lyrics - Mindfield



(Richard Starkey, Mark Hudson, Dean Grakal and Steve Dudas)



What's right, who's wrong, ev'rybody takes sides,

My god, your god, god it's such a fine line.

E mail, jump bail, man becomes a female,

War wet, dragnet, take another percocet,

Somewhere in between

There's a world you've never seen.

Perhaps it's just a dream

But it's so real to me.



Livin' in a mindfield, we're walking on thin ice,

Livin' in a mindfield, there's no time to think twice.

Only we can make it better,

Let's all get well together.



Rock stars, pop stars, living in an ant farm,

Smooth talkin', cool walkin', drownin' in your own charm.

Mystic medicine, maharashi let us in

Way out, weigh in, where the hell have you been?

Somewhere in my dream

There's a twilight in between.

A place i've been but never seen

And it's so real to me.



Livin' in a mindfield, we're walking on thin ice,

Livin' in a mindfield, there's no time to think twice.

Only we can make it better,

Let's all get well together.



Ev'rything you do or say

Comes with a price that you must pay,

I didn't know that yesterday.



Good junk, bad funk, i can see through you,

Peace, love, ev'ryone be your own guru.



Ha! Ha! Ha!



Mindfield, i'm walking on thin ice,

Livin' in a mindfield, there's no time to think twice.

Mindfield, we're walking on thin ice,

Livin' in a mindfield, there's no time to think twice.

Mindfield,

Mindfield,

Mindfield,

Mindfield,

Mindfield.


EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Half As Much



(Curley Williams)



If you love me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to let me down



If you missed me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never feel so blue

If you only loved me half as much as I love you



If you love me half as much as I love you

You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do

You're nice to me when there's no one else around

You only build me up to let me down



If you missed me half as much as I miss you

You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do

I know that I would never feel so blue

If you only loved me half as much as I love you


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - I'm Gettin' Over You



(Steve Davis/Dennis Morgan)



I changed my number, bought some new clothes

Got some different records and a new stereo

I'm gettin' over you, I'm gettin' over you



I'm goin' out dancin', learnin' new jokes

I'm stayin' out later than I should I suppose

But, I'm gettin' over you, I'm gettin' over you



I took our name off the mailbox

Redecorated our room

I'm not sayin' the hurtin's all gone

But it'll be gone soon



I'm gettin' over you

So what if you're not here

I'm gettin' over you

And it'll happen one of these years



I ordered make-up from Vogue magazine

I'm takin' aerobics two nights a week

And I'm gettin' over you, oh, I'm gettin' over you



I'm gettin' over you, Mmm, I'm gettin' over you



My friends come over and they'll wonder why

You're picture's back on the wall

It's their proof that losin' you

Don't bother me at all



I'm gettin' over you

So what if you're not here

I'm gettin' over you

And it'll happen one of these years



Yeah, I'm gettin' over you

I'm gettin' over you

I'm gettin' over you

Ooh-ooh I'm gettin' over

I'm gettin' over you...

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Close To You



(Al Hoffman - J. Livingston - C. Lampi)



Close to you

I will always stay

Close to you

Though you're far away

You'll always be near

As though you were here

By my side, no matter where

In my dreams, I'll find you there



Close, close to me sharing your caress

Oh darling, can't you see, can't you see

You're my happiness, whenever you go

My heart will go, too

What else can I do, it only wants to be

Be close to you



I said that wherever you go

Mm my heart, my heart will go, too

Because I only want to be

Mm, close to you

I only want to be

I wanna be close to you


JOE HINTON lyrics - Funny (How Time Slips Away)



(Willie Nelson)



Well, hello there

My, it's been a long, long time

How'm I doin'?

Well, I guess I'm doin' fine

It's been so long now

An' it seems like it was only yesterday

Ain't it funny how time slips away?



How's your new love?

Gee, I hope he's doin' fine

I heard ya told him

That you'd love till the end of time

Well, that's the same thing that you told me

Seems like just the other day

Gee, ain't it funny how time just slips away?



I gotta go now

Guess I'll see you 'round

I don't know when, though

I never know when I'll be back in town

Now remember whatcha told me

That "in time you're gonna pay"

And it's surprisin' how time slips away

LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - Never-Ending Road (Amhran Duit)



(Loreena McKennitt)



The road now leads onward

As far as can be

Winding lanes

And hedgerows in threes

By purple mountains

And round every bend

All roads lead to you

There is no journey's end.



Here is my heart and I give it to you

Take me with you across this land

These are my dreams, so simple and few

Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands



Deep in the winter

Amidst falling snow

High in the air

Where the bells they all toll

And now all around me

I feel you still here

Such is the journey

No mystery to fear.



Here is my heart and I give it to you

Take me with you across this land

These are my dreams, so simple and few

Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands



The road now leads onward

And I know not where

I feel in my heart

That you will be there

Whenever a storm comes

Whatever our fears

The journey goes on

As your love ever nears



Here is my heart and I give it to you

Take me with you across this land

These are my dreams, so simple and few

Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands


JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Obvious



Hey, you don't know me!

You don't know me

But you just keep on looking at me down low.

Oh no!



Digging something up...

Digging something up...

Always digging something up...

Oh no!



Hey you! I don't know you.

I don't even want to,

But you just keep looking at me down low.

Oh no!



Digging something up...

Digging something up...

Always digging something up...

Oh no!



And you make it so...

Make it so obvious...

Hey you! Fools don't fit in

The boots that I tread in,

But you just keep on looking at me down low.

Oh no!



Digging something up...

Digging something up...

Always digging something up...

Oh no!



And you make it so...

But do you get it?

Make it so...

You never get it.

You got to owe me something

Before you know what is joke and what is up.

I worked my fingers to the bone

And I won't let you stop me going up.



Why do you have to make it

So-so-so-so-so obvious

Oh no... Oh no... Oh no... Oh no...


ENYA lyrics - The Spirit Of Christmas Past



When tears are in your eyes

It's time to look inside

Your heart can find another way



Believe in what I say

Don't throw this time away

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day



Christmas Day...



So let the shadows go

And drift away like snow

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day



Christmas Day...



So dream until the night,

Becomes the morning light

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day


PULP lyrics - Underwear



Why don't you shut the door,

And close the curtains,

Cos you're not going anywhere.

He's coming up the stairs,

And in a moment he'll want to see your underwear.



You couldn't stop it now.

There's no way to get out.

He's standing far too near.

How the hell did you get here.

Semi-naked in somebody else's room.

I'd give my whole life to see it.

Just you,

Stood there,

Only in your underwear.



If fashion is your trade,

Then when you're naked,

I guess you must be unemployed yeah.

Cos once it's underway,

There's no escaping,

The fact that you're a girl and he's a boy.



You couldn't stop it now.

There's no way to get out.

He's standing far too near.

How the hell did you get here.

Semi-naked in somebody else's room.

I'd give my whole life to see it.

Just you,

Stood there,

Only in your underwear.



If you close your eyes and just remember,

That this is what you wanted last night.

So why is it so hard for you to touch him.

For you to go and give yourself to him?



I couldn't stop it now.

There's no way to get out.

He's standing far too near.

How the hell did you get here,

Semi-naked in somebody else's room.

I'd give my whole life to see it.

Just you,

Stood there,

Only in your underwear.



Do, do do do do. Do, do. Do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do.

Oh yeh,

I want to see you.

Want to see you only in your underwear.


DANZIG lyrics - Bound By Blood



I'll never lead you to harm

I'll never leave you to fear

I'll always be with you



Bound By Blood



If you wander alone

You'll never be by yourself

Im always with you



Were Bound By Blood

Bound By Blood

Bound By Blood



I'll never lead you to burn

Or set you straight when you are down

Now forever were



Bound By Blood



And if you find yourself cold

Just check your warmth for my words

I'm always with you



Were bound by blood

Bound by blood

Bound by blood



I'll never lead you to harm

Never leave you to fear

Im always with you



Were Bound By Blood



And If you wander alone

Never be by yourself

Im always with you



Were Bound By Blood

Bound By Blood

Bound By Blood



Bound By Blood [16x]

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Baby, I'm For Real



Ooh...wee...ooh...



Baby, baby, you don't understand

How much I love you, baby

How much I want to be

Your only man, oh, baby, my baby, my baby



And baby, baby, baby, you don't have to go

Stay a little while longer, baby

And that's why I'm professin' my love to you, baby

So that I can live my whole life with you



And baby, baby, baby

Take to the sky on a natural high

Lovin' you, kissin' you, tellin' you why

Oh, you need to know, you need to know, oh

Baby, I'm for real



(Baby, I'm for real)

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Now you won't have to cry, no, no



Ooh...yeah


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - The Mesopotamians



We've been driving around

From one end of this town to the other and back

But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us)

Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band)

And no one's ever heard of our band



We're the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



Then they wouldn't understand a word we say,

So we'll scratch it all down into the clay

Half believing there will sometime come a day

Someone gives a damn

Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand



We're the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down

And making cracks in the ground

But there's nowhere else to stand

In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us)

The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)

The land where we invisibly rule



As the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



This is my last stick of gum

I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some

Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan



Hey, Ashurbanipal,

I'm a Mesopotamian

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



We're the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead

I thought you crashed your car"

"No, man, I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar

For the Mesopotamians"



We're the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh



We're the Mesopotamians

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh


JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Love At First Sight



(John Mellencamp)



Let's suppose you lived over here

Let's suppose I lived right over there

Let's suppose we shared a kiss

On a night like this

Let's suppose we went too far

In the back seat of your car

Let's suppose we fell in love

Like two turtle doves

And let's suppose we got engaged

Underneath that ol' Milky Way

And let's suppose we were complete

Wouldn't that be sweet

And let's suppose we found happiness

And built ourselves a nest

Let's supposed we had five kids

Like our grandparents did

And let's suppose our dreams came true

Just like they're supposed to do

And let's suppose we spent the rest of our lives together



But let's suppose sometimes we'd fight

When things weren't going right

Let's suppose you got tired of me

And our family

And let's suppose that we went broke

And we both just gave up hope

And let's suppose you left in a huff

Because you didn't love me enough

And let's supposed you found another man

And hit me in the head with a frying pan

And let's suppose I wound up dead

Underneath the bed

And what would happen to the kids

After all that we did

Let's suppose we both better just think it over



So I suppose it's just hello

And that it's time for us to go

We got a little ahead of ourselves

Like everybody else

Maybe some other time

I suppose that'd be just fine

So until we meet again

I suppose we're just friends

But remember what they say

'Cause it happens every day

I believe in love at first sight

So there, I said it

Good night

J. J. CALE lyrics - Chains Of Love



(J. J. Cale)



Chains of love, won't let me be

They keep haunting, haunting me

Free my mind, from their vice

Chains of love, cold as ice

That old key, I've yet to find

That unlocks, those ties of mine

Ain't no way (ain't no way)

I am told (I am told)

No you cannot (no you cannot)

Break the hold (break the hold)

Chains of love (chains of love)

Won't let me be (won't let me be)

They keep haunting (they keep haunting)

Haunting me (haunting me)

Once you get down, you will know

They won't ever ever, let you go

Chains of love, all wrapped in now

Break this bond, I don't know how

Chains of love, will follow you

Don't matter, what you do

Free my mind, from this vice

Chains of love, cold as ice

Chains of love, won't let me be

They keep haunting, haunting me

Free my mind, from their vice

Chains of love, cold as ice

That old key, I've yet to find

That unlocks, those ties of mine

Chains of love, won't let me be

They keep haunting, haunting me

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Into The Mystic



[Originally by Van Morrison]



We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic



And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home

And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it

I don't have to fear it



And I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And magnificently we will flow into the mystic



When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home

And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it

I don't have to fear it



And I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And together we will flow into the mystic

Come on girl...



Too late to stop now...


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Piece Of Dirt



Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain

Or to fly, I'd fly away



A woman's voice on the radio can convince you you're in love

A woman's voice on the telephone can convince you you're alone

But I set my sails so long ago they've revoked my sailor's badge

Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand



Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I find myself haunted by a spooky man named me

I wish that I could jump out of my skin


ALICE COOPER lyrics - Hello Hooray



Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin

I've been ready

Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim

I've been ready

Ready as theis audience that's coming here to dream

Loving every second, every moment, every scream

I've been waiting so long for this thing to come

Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

Roll out! Roll out your American dream and its rescuit

I've been ready

Roll out! Roll out your circus freaks and hula hoops

I've been ready

Ready as theis audience that's coming here to dream

Loving every second, every moment, every scream

I've been waiting so long for this thing to come

Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

I can stand here strong and thin

I can laugh when this thing begins

God, I feel so strong

I feel so strong

I'm so strong

I feel so strong

So strong

God, I feel so strong

I'm so strong


JONI MITCHELL lyrics - You Dream Flat Tires



It came to pass

Like lightening striking from above

Electric flash

Just like lightening striking from above

Struck by precious love

Precious, precious love

So hopeless and so inspired

Why do you dream flat tires

When you dream flat tires?

You dream flat tires



With a jack and a spare you're there

Trying to get to where love is

Coming in on a wing and a prayer

Trying to get to where love is

'Cause love is precious love

You said it was precious

When first you felt my fire

Before you dreamed flat tires

You dreamed flat tires

You dream flat tires



"Woman she bounce back easy

But a man could break both his legs"

Are you telling me that to tease me?

Or just to hear me beg

"Please don't go!"



Cause I know that you love me

But, when are you going to let love be

Just a vague flirtation

Or extra special company?

'Cause love is precious love

Everybody knows it's precious

When first they feel that fire

Before they dream flat tires

They dream flat tires

They dream flat tires



"Woman she bounce back easy

But a man could break both his legs"

Do you tell me that to tease me

Or just to hear me beg

"Please don't be cold"



I know that you love me

But, what are you going to let love do?

(Flat tires, love, love is precious, flat tires,

love, love is precious, flat tires, love,

love is precious)

TOM JONES lyrics - You've Got A Friend



You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am

I'll come running, running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, honey

All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yes I will.

You've got a friend.



When you're down and troubled and you need some love care

And nothing. No, nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights.



You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am

I'll come running, running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, baby

All you got to do is call and I'll be there

You've got a friend.


QUIET RIOT lyrics - Afterglow (Of Your Love)



Love

Love is all around me everywhere

Love has come to touch my soul

With someone who really cares



No one can denounce

People who once passed me by

Just turn their heads 'round



I'm happy just to be with you

And lovin' you the way I do

'Cause everything I need to know

Just resting in the afterglow of your love



You have always been

A feeling deep inside

A feeling that I could not see or touch or try to hide



My love is deep and drowns you

I bless the day that I found you

So listen baby



I'm happy just to be with you

And lovin' you the way I do

'Cause everything I need to know

Just resting in the afterglow of your love



Love is like a voice in my head

Keeps turning 'round the things that I'm saying



I'm happy just to be with you

And lovin' you the way I do

'Cause everything I need to know

Just resting in the afterglow of your love



I'm happy just to be with you

And lovin' you the way I do

'Cause everything I need to know

Just resting in the afterglow of your love



I'm happy just to be with you

And lovin' you the way I do

'Cause everything I need to know

Just resting in the afterglow of your love


THE BEATLES lyrics - Honey Pie



(Lennon/McCartney)



She was a working girl

North of England way

Now she's hit the big time

In the USA

And if she could only hear me

This is what I'd say



Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home



Oh honey pie my position is tragic

Come and show me the magic

Of your Hollywood song



You became a legend of the silver screen

And now the thought of meeting you

Makes me weak in the knee



Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic

Sail across the Atlantic

To be where you belong



Honey pie come back to me, oh



Yeah

I like it like that, oh ah

I like this kind of hot kind of music

Hot kind of music

Play it to me, play it to me, honey, the blues



Will the wind that blew her boat

Across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me



Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home

Come, come back to me, honey pie



Oooooooooooh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Honey pie, honey pie


LOBO lyrics - I Don't Know Why



(Roy Turk / Fred Albert)



I don't know why I love you like I do

I don't know why I just do

I don't know why you thrill me like you do

I don't know why you just do



You never seem to want my romancing

The only time you hold me

Is when we're dancing



I don't know why I love you like I do

I don't know why I just do

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Won't Have To Wait Too Long



(Bolder/Box/Hensley)



It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning

I open my eyes after the Friday night -

I don't worry about the rain upon my window

'Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine

So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro

I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind -

And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro

There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time

In this golden - place, there's a smiling face

I've got to find

And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine



My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows

Or searching for the gold beneath the sea -

But rainbows only shine when it's been raining

And gold can never keep you company -

So now I'm wondrin' what to say in conversation

To the lady of my dreams that I should meet -

If I speak to her in the language of all nations

Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet -

And I know she will, then I'll love her till

The end of time -

And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine



Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro

I've got a woman here that I can call my own -

But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there

'Cos she used to live next door to me back home -

But if you're thinking that I've settled down forever

I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake -

'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado

There's a woman there I've got to try and make -

She can fill the hole in my heart and soul

For a long, long time -

And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine


T. REX lyrics - Nameless Wildness



I wouldn't lie



You're like a sanctuary,

A poet's memory

I wouldn't lie



A universe of happiness

Beneath your be-bop dress

I wouldn't lie



And I love you, and I love you

'Cos you're my nameless wildness



You're like a precious book,

A stolen golden look

I wouldn't lie



So keep your consciousness

Volcanoes in my breast

I wouldn't lie



And I love you, and I love you

'cos you're my nameless wildness



I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't lie

'Cos I love you, and I love you

'Cos you're my nameless wildness



I wouldn't lie [Repeat to end]


CAROLE KING lyrics - It's Gonna Work Out Fine



We've been putting each other through a hard time

And it's a mighty good feeling to know we're gonna work it out

It's gonna work out

Yeah, it's gonna work out fine



Take a look at the way it's going now

Makes you want to give a sigh of relief

You know the last thing I ever wanted to do

Was to give you any grief

I guess it was a situation

That was bound to come up someday

But our feeling for each other won out

And I'm oh-so-glad to say



Even the best of relationships

Run the risk of going awry

There's a lot two people who care about each other

Can do to make each other cry

Ain't it funny how it took a reunion

To help us to really see

With each other is the only way we can ever be


GARY MOORE lyrics - End Of The World



There is only tomorrow

Nothing but sorrow waiting for you.

Don't look for any mystery

It's only history we're passing through.

The threat from the east

Growing stronger with each passing hour.

All systems are failing

And talks with the west have turned sour.



The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don't understand.

Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.



Each day brings a new danger

Love is a stranger we used to know.

Outside, the sun goes on rising.

But we're realizing there's not long to go.

The storm clouds are forming

Take held of the warning to come.

The Kremlin has told every nation

There's no place to run.



The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don't understand.

Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.



The end of the world.

The end of the world.

The end of the world.



The threat from the east

Growing stronger with each passing hour.

All systems are failing

And talks with the west have turned sour.



The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.

Playing with weapons they don't understand.

Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.



The end of the world.

The end of the world.



The end of the world.

The end of the world.



The end of the world.

The end of the world.


ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Star Dust



And now the purple dusk of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

High up in the sky the little moon starts to climb

Always reminding me that we're apart

You wandered down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by



Sometimes I wonder why I spend

a lonely night dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie,

and I am once again with you

When our love was new

and each kiss an inspiration

But that was long ago,

now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.



Beside a garden wall,

when stars are bright,

you are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain,

in my heart it will remain

My stardust melody,

The memory of love's refrain


SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Silver Rocket



Snake in it

Jack into the wall

TV amp on fire

Blowin' in the hall

Gun yr. sled

Close yr. peeping toms

Turbo organizer

Crankin' on the knob



You got it

Yeh ride the silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin hole in yr pocket



Hit the power

Psycho helmets on

You got to splice yr. halo

Take it to a moon

Nymphoid clamor

Fuelling up the hammer

You got to fake out the robot

And pulse up the zoom



You got it

Yeh ride the silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin hole in yr pocket



Can't forget the flashing

Can't forget the smashing

The sending and the bending

The ampisphere re-entry

You gotta have the time

Got a letter in your mind

Gotta heart injection

That you got yourself a line



You got it

Yeh ride the silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin hole in yr pocket

PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Sounds Of Night



Hear the evening breezes start to blowing

See the evening shadows start to come

Listen to the nightbirds start their singing

Now the sounds of night have just begun



A lonely hootowl cries out in the darkness

For its mate that's nowhere to be found

Then a lonesome whippoorwill strats calling

Their lonely voices fill the night with sound



Hear the church bell ringing in the distance

What a mournful sound so late at night

Wonder why the darkness makes it sound so lonesome

Listen to the lonely sounds of night



The darkness seems to whisper in the silence

Your love is gone but things will be all right

Still my lonely heart cries through the darkness

Listening to the lonely sounds of night



Hear the church bell ringing in the distance...


MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Girl Don't Take Your Love From Me



Oooh

Foolish of me, I couldn't see

The forest for the trees

You've been so true

I've been so cruel to you

Oh, girl please don't leave me



If you stay I'll find a way

To erase the past

Baby don't leave me

Girl don't take your love from me

Oh girl



What can I say to make you stay

Baby, don't leave me

You've been so kind

It blows my mind to know

Oh girl, I really hurt you



Tell me girl, it's not to late

And you give me a chance

To make it up to you

Don't take your love from me

Girl don't take your love

Don't take your love



[Bridge:]

Girl, if you take your love away from me

I'm gonna be in misery

Your love is the strength that I lean upon

How will I make it when it's gone

Of all the little things I wanted to say....

...I really wanted to do

Girl, this time...

Ooh, oh girl I really mean it



So tell me girl, it's not too late

And you'll give me a chance

To make it up to you

Don't take your love from me

Don't take your love, no no no no no

Don't take your love

Don't leave me girl



Don't take your love from me

Baby, don't take your love from me

Don't take your love from me

Oooh, don't take your love from me

Baby, don't take your love from me

MODERN TALKING lyrics - We Take The Chance



We'll take the chance, we will again

It's our dream, and you will see, we'll go hand in hand



I know we're here but I feel, we're not alone

Millions of people are waiting, in their home

Seeing the winners and losers, they're always in our hearts

Oh everybody's waiting, waiting for the start



We'll take the change, we'll win again

I know my dream, it will come true

We'll take the change, don't lose the game

It's a game for me and you

We'll take the change, we'll win again

I know we're going hand in hand

We'll take the change, and we are friends

For a game that never ends



I know we're high and we're low, and just between

We're feeling the fire of heart's, like a dream

We're living in deep emotion, we're fighting with our hearts

Oh everybody's waiting, waiting for the start



We'll take the chance, we will again

It's our dream, and you will see, we'll go hand in hand



We'll take the chance

BOSTON lyrics - Amanda



(Scholz)



Babe, tomorrow's so far away

There's something I just have to say

I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside

Another day, knowin' I love you

And I, I'm getting too close again

I don't want to see it end

If I tell you tonight will you turn out the light

And walk away knowin' I love you?



I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,

Amanda

I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day,

Amanda

I'm gonna say it like a man and make you understand

Amanda

I love you



And I feel like today's the day

I'm lookin' for the words to say

Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me

To feel this way

I don't wanna lose you

So, it may be too soon, I know

The feeling takes so long to grow

If I tell you today will you turn me away

And let me go?

I don't wanna lose you



I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,

Amanda

I'm gonna te ll you right away, I can't wait another day,

Amanda

I'm gonna say it lik e a man and make you understand

Amanda



You and I

I know that we can't wait

And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl

Tomorrow may be too late

You, you and I girl

We can share a life together

It's now or never

And tomorow may be too late



And, feelin' the way I do

I don't wanna wait my whole life through

To say I'm in love with you


RICKY NELSON lyrics - It's All Over Now



Well my baby used to stay out all night long

She made me cry, she done me wrong

She hurt me eyes open, that's no lie

Table's turnin' now it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now



She used to run around with every man in town

Spent all my money playin' a high class game

She put me out, it was a pity how I cried

Table's turnin' now it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now



I used to wake each morning, get my breakfast in bed

I got a worry, she'd ease my aching head

Now she's here and there with every man in town

Still trying to take me for that same old clown

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now


ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - What Is This Thing Called Love?



What is this thing called love?

This funny thing called love?

Just who can solve its mystery?

Why should it make a fool of me?



I saw you there one wonderful day

You took my heart and threw it away

That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above

What is this thing called love?



[Instrumental interlude]



I saw you there one wonderful day

You took my heart and threw it away

That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above

What is this thing called love?



Following is another version with additional verses:



I was a hum-drum person

Leading a life apart

When love flew in through my window wide

And quickened my hum-drum heart

Love flew in thorugh my window

I was so happy then

But after love had stayed a little while

Love flew out again



What is this thing called love?

This funny thing called love?

Just who can solve its mystery?

Why should it make a fool of me?

I saw you there one wonderful day

You took my heart and threw it away

That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above

What is this thing called love?



You gave me days of sunshine

You gave me nights of cheer

You made my life an enchanted dream

'Til somebody else came near

Somebody else came near you

I felt the winter's chill

And now I sit and wonder night and day

Why I love you still?

DORO PESCH lyrics - Bad Blood



[Chorus:]

Bad blood, rivers run dry

Thunder comes and the children cry, bad blood

Never can change, no one here to blame

Bad blood, older than time

Followed me down from my father's tribe

Bad blood, making me shake

Running through my veins, bad blood



Too many questions, so many unanswered times

Most times the finger points at me

In my confusion, might slip and cross the line

I'm not to blame for all you see

You can't help me, it's in my soul

Pray for mercy, nowhere else to go



[Chorus]



In my confession, I swear and cross my heart

I stand before you what I am

Gunpowder ready, just waiting for a spark

And those before me understand

Please protect me, keep me safe

Heaven help me, save me from this fate



[Chorus]



I'm swimming hard and fast

Against the time

Lost in a flood

Of ancient fire



[Chorus]

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Deep Dead Blue



(Lyrics: Elvis Costello, Music: Bill Frisell)



Deep dead blue

That I invite

Bringing on disguise of night

Turn the whole Kaleidoscope

Deep dead blue



Deep dead blue that nightly shades

Most unlikely escapades

As the lights that frighten fade

Till the dawn drags into view

I'm lost in deep dead blue



Deep dead blue

I'd rather stay

Far from the cruel coloured day

Leave me in my monochrome

Till I find a finer hue

Beyond the deep dead blue


PRINCE lyrics - Money Don't Matter 2 Night



One more card and it's 22

Unlucky 4 him again

He never had respect 4 money it's true

That's why he never wins

That's why he never ever has enough

2 treat his lady right

He just pushes her away in a huff

And says 'Money don't matter 2 night'



Money don't matter 2 night

It sure didn't matter yesterday

Just when u think u've got more than enough

That's when it all up and flies away

That's when u find out that u're better off

Makin' sure your soul's alright

Cuz money didn't matter yesterday,

And it sure don't matter 2 night



Look, here's a cool investment

They're tellin' him he just can't lose

So he goes off and tries to find a partner

But all he finds are users (users)

All he finds are snakes in ever color

Every nationality and size

Seems like the only thing he can do

Is just roll his eyes, and say that...



Money don't matter 2 night (don't matter)

It sure didn't matter yesterday

Just when u think u've got more than enough

That's when it all up and flies away

That's when u find out that u're better off

Makin' sure your soul's alright (soul's alright)

Cuz money didn't matter yesterday, (don't matter)

And it sure don't matter 2 night



(ooh-wee-ooh, don't matter)

(it don't matter 2 night, no)



Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason

2 send a child off 2 war

So what if we're controllin' all the oil,

Is it worth a child dying 4? (is it worth it?)

If long life is what we all live 4

Then long life will come 2 pass

Anything is better than the picture of the child

In a cloud of gas

And u think u got it bad



Money don't matter 2 night (no, don't matter)

It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday)

Just when u think u've got more than enough

That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)

That's when u find out that u're better off

Makin' sure your soul's alright (make certain that your soul's alright)

Cuz money didn't matter yesterday,

... it sure don't matter 2 night



Money don't matter 2 night

It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday, yesterday)

Just when u think u've got more than enough

That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)

That's when u find out that u're better off

Makin' sure your soul's alright

Money didn't matter yesterday,

And it sure don't matter 2 night
