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
I want to talk to you
Just a little more
I see the tears in your eyes about to fall
You are wondering if I'm for real
Oh, but if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel
You need to, baby, I'm for real
So real, baby, baby, baby, baby, girl
And baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you don't have to go
Stay a little while longer, baby, hold me, baby, love me, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

But if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you, tell you no lie, this is how I feel
Oh, now, baby, now, baby, now, baby, yeah

I would never, never tell you a lie about my love
(Baby, I'm for real)
I'm so for real, I'm so for real, I'm, I'm real, I'm real
But if you wanna know the truth about it
Girl, I just can't live without it
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
Never, never, never gonna leave you, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, baby, I'm for real

And darling, hey, hey, baby
Take to the sky on a natural high
Lovin' you more till the die I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Lovin' you, kissin' you, tellin' you why
(Baby, I'm for real)
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
