WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Red Wine
Oh, pour me a drink of Italian red wine,
Let me taste it and call back to mind
Once more in my thoughts, once more to my soul
This story as great, if not greater, than all.
The AP news on June 24 th
Told about a Patrolman named Earl J. Vaugh,
He stepped on a Main Street Trolley Car
To arrest Sacco and Vanzetti there.
The article tell how Earl J. Vaugh
Is now retiring as officer of law;
This cop goes down in my history
For arresting Sacco and Vanzetti that day.
"Twas nineteen and twenty, the fifth of May,
The cop and some buddies took these two men away
Off of the car and out and down,
Down to the jail Brockton town.
There's been a killing and robbery
At Slater Morrill's shoe factory;
You two gents are carrying guns,
And you dodged the draft when the war did come.
Yes, oh yes, 'tis so, 'tis so,
We made for the borders of Mexico;
The rich man's war we could not fight,
So we crossed the border to keep out of sight.
You men are known as radical sons,
You must be killers, you both carry guns.
I am a night watchman, my friend peddles fish,
He carries his gun when he's go lots of cash.
Oh, pour me a glass of Germany's beer,
Russia's hot vodka, strong and clear,
Oh, pour me a glass of Palestine's Hock,
Or just a moonshiner's bucket of Chock.
Now, let me think, and let me see,
How these two men were found guilty,
How a hundred and sixty witnesses did pass by,
And the ones that spoke for them was a hundred and five.
Out of the rest, about fifty just guessed,
And out of the five that were put to the test,
Only the story of one held true,
After a hundred and fifty-nine got through.
And one this one, uncertain and afraid,
She saw the carload of robbers, she said,
And one year later, she remembered his face,
After seeing this car for a second and a half.
She told of his hand, his gun, his ears,
She told of his shirt, and the cut of his hair,
She remembered his eyes, his lips, his cheeks,
And Eva Splaine's tale sent these men to the chair.
I was right here in Boston the night they died.
I never seen such a sight in my life;
I thought those crowds would pull down the town,
I was hoping they'd do it and change things around.
I hoped they'd pull Judge Thayer on down
From off of his bench and chase him around;
I hoped they'd run him around the stump
And stick him with devils tails 'bout every jump.
FOREIGNER lyrics - Woman Oh Woman
Search through the years
And you wipe away the tears
To find a woman, not a girl
Just that feeling, like the beginning of the world
Beginning of the world
And your love flows down like a river
'Til it reaches down to the sea
And it's then you start to thinking
Will the water, will the water cover me?
Woman oh woman
Don't bury me alive
Just make me feel I've the right to survive
Woman oh woman
I hope that you can see
This is nothing like our love was meant to be
Love was meant to be
You search through the years
And you wipe away the tears
To find a woman, not a girl
But a feeling, like the beginning of the world
Woman oh woman
Don't bury me alive
Just make me feel I've the right to survive
Woman oh woman
I hope that you can see
This is nothing like our love was meant to be
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Oh woman
HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Baby, How Long
(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)
When you left me this mornin',
You taken my heart away,
When you left me this mornin',
You taken my heart away,
That's allright baby,
You will come back home someday
How long, baby, how long, how long
How long, baby, how long, how long
You know I love you
You started doin' me wrong
Well when you leave home,
You can call me on your phone
Well when you leave home,
You can call me on your phone
I'll sent you you're money
Darlin' you come back home
Oh come back
How long, have you gone do me wrong
How long, have you gone do me wrong
Ain't nobody never lived that,
Gettin' do somebody wrong

STATUS QUO lyrics - Tommy
(Rossi / Frost)
[Tommy / Tommy's In Love]
Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Listen to me, his mother would say
You're young and in love, it won't last that way
You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Tommy's in love, he's always that way
Whatever he does, if only he'd say
He's feeling so fine, she's looking so sweet
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
PHISH lyrics - Wading In The Velvet Sea
(Anastasio/Marshall)
I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
Mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless
The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a bin
Time leaks out my life leaks in
You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Jack-A-Roe
There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell
He had a Beautiful daughter, the truth to you we'll tell
Oh the truth to you we'll tell
She had sweethearts a plenty, and men of high degree
But none but Jack the sailor, her true love ever be
Oh her true love ever be
Jackie's gone a sailing, with trouble on his mind
He's left his native country and his darling girl behind
Oh his darling girl behind
She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array
She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away
Oh convey herself away
Before you get on board sir, your name we'd like to know
She smiled on her countenance, they called me Jack-A-Roe
Oh they called me Jack-A-Roe
I see your waist is slender, your fingers they are small
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball
Oh to face the cannonball
I know my waist's to slender, my fingers they are small
but it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall
Oh to see ten thousand fall
The war soon being over she went and looked around
among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found
Oh her darling boy she found
She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town
she sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds
Oh to quickly heal his wounds
This couple they got married so well they did agree
This couple they got married so why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
Oh why not you and me?
MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - The Ballad Of Sexual Dependency
Now there's a man, the living tool of satan
He charges forth while others are debating
Conniving, cocky knave with all the trimmings
I know one thing will trim him down? women.
In women he meets deep authority,
In them he feels his old dependency.
He sniggers at the good book, mocks the priss and prim,
Does anything for pay if it will pay
And since he knows what ladies do to him
He thrusts them well out of his way.
All through the day he swears
He's self denying, then dusk descends
And once again he's lying.
They're all the same in meeting love's confusion
Poor noble souls get blotted in illusion
The one who swore he could escape the clinches
Who is it that entangles him, wenches
It fain resists their lush authority
Before him stands his old dependency.
He harked the ten commandments
Trod the tried and true, would godly be and golden rule obey.
For lunch ate frugally, a grape a two,
Survived on one pure thought a day.
He screamed, "I've mastered it without half trying"
Appears the moon and once again he's lying.
Idiots? all of them.
MADNESS lyrics - Tears You Can't Hide
(Smyth)
Now I see tears you can't hide
Carry the world on your back
Heavy weights tear you apart
Now I see tears you can't hide
Feel in a rage
Can't speak up for yourself
All that you tried do is no good anyway
Now I see tears you can't hide
No use saying it's a crime
Voices surround me but they're lying
Hold out your hand
Together make your stand
You may be alone
You may feel scared inside
Now I see tears you can't hide
No use saying it's a crime
Voices surround me but they're lying
Just hit me with your saxophone Lee
Now I see tears you can't hide
Now I see tears you can't hide
Now I see tears you can't
Tears you can't tears you can't
Tears you can't hide
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - This Year's Kisses
This year's crop of kisses
Don't seem as sweet to me
This year's crop just misses
What kisses used to be
This year's new romance
Doesn't seem to have a chance
Even helped by Mr. Moon above
This year's crop of kisses is not for me
For I'm still wearin' last year's love

MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - Good Biscuits
(Memphis Minnie)
Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Don't let no outside woman make no biscuits for your man
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
Why I'm a single woman today by letting other women feed my man
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
Ain't gonna have him going around eating biscuits, whoo, whoo, made up with your nasty hands
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I don't get no one buddy, I have too many a-doggone friends
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
But if I catch you feeding my man, whoo, whoo, Lord, I'm going to the pen
BRENDA LEE lyrics - Never My Love
You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mind
Will lose it's desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you
You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require of you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me
You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require of you
Never my love
Never my love
SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - It Must Be Tough... To Be That Cool
Stuck inside this room, digging in my heels
The paint is stuck on the walls, but it's starting to peel
But maybe it's your vanity, maybe it's your skin
Well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, your cover's wearing thin
Cause everybody wants a piece of you, you don't give much, but when you
Do, you're nobody's friend, you're nobody's fool, tell me It must be tough to be
That cool...
Another notch on your belt another new pair of shoes
Another sidewalk show, where did you get that suit?
Did you think I was waiting or were you just testing me?
You're gonna come up empty, come out angry
Come out alone, now you can't see it
Well I should be more forgiving there's a soul down there
I can hear it crying but I can't find it anywhere
'Cause everybody wants a piece of you, you don't give much
But when you do, you're nobody's friend, you're nobody's fool
Tell me,
It must be tough to be that cool
It must be tough to be that cool
It must be tough to be that cool
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Some Girls
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Some girls give me money
Some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry
That I never thought I'd own
Some girls give me diamonds
Some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to
I don't ever want it back
Some girls give me jewelry
Others buy me clothes
Some girls give me children
I never asked them for
So give me all your money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own
Some girls take my money
Some girls take my clothes
Some girls get the shirt off my back
And leave me with a lethal dose
French girls they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world
You can possibly imagine
English girls they're so prissy
I can't stand them on the telephone
Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook
I don't want them to ever call at all
White girls they're pretty funny
Sometimes they drive me mad
Black girls just wanna get fucked all night
I just don't have that much jam
Chinese girls are so gentle
They're really such a tease
You never know quite what they're cookin'
Inside those silky sleeves
Give me all you money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own
Some girls they're so pure
Some girls so corrupt
Some girls give me children
I only made love to her once
Give me half your money
Give me half your car
Give me half of everything
I'll make you world's biggest star by half
So gimme all your money
Give me all your gold
Let's go back to Zuma beach
I'll give you half of everything I own

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Forever My Surfer Girl
Summer
Sixty-one
A goddess became my song
I fell in her ocean eyes
As endless as the sky
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one.
First love
Is the moment
You can't repeat
But you'll always own it
The gift she gave to me
Her timeless melody
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one.
So sweet
(now there's all kinds of music)
So sweet
(and don't you know, the truth is)
So sweet
(you were my special lover)
So sweet
(you were my baby grand)
So sweet
(such a sweet ballad and)
Oh, so sweet
(sweet voices right from heaven, radio seven)
So long, so long ago
(ohhhh)
To waves gently say hello
(ohhhh)
We'll never say goodbye
(ohhhh)
Were the horizon gone
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one.
CAROLE KING lyrics - An Uncommon Love
Why do we isolate each other
All the walls we build between us
Make it so hard to be together
How can we tear at one another
When the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
Walls can fall, tears can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
Here on two sides of the truth
We've a middle ground in common
We have an uncommon love
Time can heal, hearts can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
When will we ever learn
That the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
We have an uncommon love
An uncommon love
LOBO lyrics - Different Drum
(Michael Nesmith)
You and I
Travel to the beat of a different drum
Can't you tell
By the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
You cry and moan
And say it'll work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest
For the trees
Now don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl
Who wants to love
Only me
And I'm not saying that you ain't pretty
All's I saying's that I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins
In on me
So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
ERASURE lyrics - All Through The Years
(Clarke / Bell)
Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years
If I could see the world through someone else's eyes
If I could see through you, would I cast you to one side?
And if you gave it all, would I throw it all away?
Like the leaves in autumn winds
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
And if you held me here, would the moment fade away?
Into obscurity like the night becomes the day
For all the broken promises, tell me where do I begin?
To throw my caution to the wind
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years

PULP lyrics - Mis-Shapes
Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits.
Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh
We don't look the same as you,
We don't do the things you do,
But we live around here too, Oh really.
Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits,
We'd like to go to town but we can't risk it, oh
Cos they just want to keep us out.
You could end up with a smack in the mouth
Just for standing out, Oh really.
Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
The future's owned by you and me.
There won't be fighting in the street.
They think they've got us beat, but revenge is going to be so sweet.
We're making a move,
We're making it now,
We're coming out of the side-lines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid yeah.
We want your homes,
We want your lives,
We want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns,
We won't use bombs,
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
Check your lucky numbers,
That much money could drag you under, oh.
What's the point of being rich,
If you can't think what to do with it?
Cos you're so bleeding thick.
Oh we weren't supposed to be,
We learnt too much at school now we
Can't help but see,
That the future that you've got mapped out is
Nothing much to shout about.
We're making a move,
We're making it now,
We're coming out of the side-lines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid yeah.
We want your homes,
We want your lives,
We want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns,
We won't use bombs,
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds
Brothers, sisters, can't you see?
The future's owned by you and me.
There won't be fighting in the street.
They think they've got us beat, but revenge is going to be so sweet.
We're making a move.
We're making it now.
We're coming out of the sidelines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
We want your homes,
We want your lives,
We want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns,
We won't use bombs,
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
And that's our minds. Yeah.
QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - Someone Else? (With Full Band)
When I fell from grace I never realized
How deep the flood was around me
A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil
And the water left these scars on me
The chains I wore were mine, dragging me towards my fate
Planned for me long ago
I played by all their rules, went to their right schools
Who was I to question?
They used to say I was nowhere man
Heading down was my destiny
But yesterday I swear that was
Someone Else not me
Here I stand at the crossroad's edge
Afraid to reach out for eternity
One step when I look down
I see someone else, not me
I know now who I am, if only for awhile
I recognize the changes
I feel like I did, before the magic wore thin
And the baptism of stains began
Sacrifice, the always say... is a sign of nobility
But where does one draw the line in the face of injury?
I'm just trying to understand
Standing here at the crossroad's edge
Looking down at what I used to be
A drowning man, trying to stay afloat
Heavy with the past, but somehow keeping hope
That there's something more that is seen
But it's somewhere out of reach
So I keep looking back
Looking back and I see someone else
All my life they said I was going down
But I'm still standing stronger proud
And today I know, there's so much more I can be
I think I finally understand
From where I stand at the crossroad's edge
There's a path leading out to sea
And from somewhere deep in my mind
Sirens sing out loud, songs of doubt, as only they know how
But one glance back reminds and I see
Someone Else, not me.
I keep looking back at Someone Else... me?
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Where Could I Go But To The Lord
(J. B. Coats)
Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so
Now won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
Life here is grand with friends I love so dear
Comfort I get from God's own word
Yet when I face that chilling hand of death
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - My Cherie Amour
(Henry Cosby, Stevie Wonder & Sylvia Moy)
My Cherie Amour
Lovely as a summer day
My Cherie Amour
Distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you
But you never noticed me
My Cherie Amour
Won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind the little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
My Cherie Amour
My Cherie Amour
Maybe someday you see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday you share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Who Are The Mystery Girls?
Who's the one that wants to take her home and make 'em say they wanna stay a year
Who's the one that wants to take 'em home and make 'em crawl right thru the years
Oh baby
Who's the one that wants to slam it in the door and try to keep it
Like a mystery girl
Who's the one that wants to kick it on the floor and try to beat it like a scattered rug
I'm talkin' 'bout love
(who are the mystery girls)
Cuz I wanna know
(who are the mystery girls)
So why don't cha tell me
(who are the mystery girls)
Who's the mystery girls
(who are the mystery girls)
So Who's the one that wants to smoke obsessively and tell 'em where she can roam
Who's the one that's wants to mill out in the street and leave 'em shouting "yankee go home"
Cmon tell me
Who's the one that wants to slam it in the door and try to hide it
She's a mystery girl
Who's the one that wants to kick it on the floor and try to treat it like a scattered rug
I'm talkin' 'bout love
(who are the mystery girls)
Cuz I wanna know
(who are the mystery girls)
What do ya know about love
(who are the mystery girls)
Who's the mystery girls
(who are the mystery girls)
So who's the one that wants to tell 'em what's wrong and tell 'em what don't belong
I don't know what's goin' on but i know that i've been longin' for some
Who's the one that wants to slam it in the door and try to hide it
Like a mystery girl
Who's the one that wants to kick it on the floor and try to beat it like a scattered rug
I'm talkin' 'bout love
(who are the mystery girls)
Cuz I wanna know
(who are the mystery girls)
So why don't cha tell me
(who are the mystery girls)
Who's the mystery girls
(who are the mystery girls)

STATUS QUO lyrics - One Man Band
(Parfitt / Williams)
When I'm talkin' nothing's getting through
When I'm screamin' it's never clear to you
Can you hear me? Am I wasting my time?
Am I working in a one man band?
When I'm looking straight in your eyes
Is there anyone home? You're telling me lies
Listen to me, are you wasting my time?
It's lonely in a one man band
It's lonely in a one man band
Words out of line don't ever hurt you
Forever cryin', trying to turn you around
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
Anticipating what you're gonna do
Still I'm waiting for a sign from you
Come together, am I wasting my time?
And I'll always be a one man band
I'll always be a one man band
It's lonely in a one man band
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - A Night In Summer Long Ago
My lady may I have this dance
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
My lady may I have this dance
And lady may I have your name
You danced upon a soldier's arm
And I felt the blade of love so keen
And when you smiled you did me harm
And I was drawn to you, my Queen
Now these boots may take me where they will
Though they may never shine like his
There is no knight I would not kill
To have my lady's hand to kiss
Yes and they did take me through the hall
To leave me not one breath from you
And they fell silent one and all
And you could see my heart was true
Then I did lead you from the hall
And we did ride upon the hill
Away beyond the city wall
And sure you are my lady still
A night in summer long ago
The stars were falling from the sky
And still, my heart, I have to know
Why do you love me, lady, why?
GREEN DAY lyrics - Maria
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation
Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution
She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive
Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the president
And no one knows where Maria went?
Maria, Maria, Maria,
where did you go?...
Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing the line in the dirt
Because the last decision
...is no.
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation
Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution
Maria, Maria, Maria,
where did you go?...
Maria, Maria, Maria,
where did you go?...
STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - 4+20
[Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young]
Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor and he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more.
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so.
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know - why am I so alone?
Where is my woman can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.
WILLIE DIXON lyrics - Everything's Got A Time
(Willie Dixon)
Everything's got a time
From start to end
Somebody tell me
Where time begins
Please tell me the time
Tell me the time of day
Tell me must I go
Tell me must I stay
There's a time to eat
There's a time to drink
A time to act
There's a time to think
A time to save
And a time to spend
A time to start
And a time to end
There's a time to reap
There's a time to sow
A time to come
There's a time to go
A time to laugh
And a time to cry
A time to live
And a time to die
STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Big Dallas Sky
In all those deserted farms I searched for you
In the driving rain most nights feeling like a ghost
Moving unseen and through every street of dreams
Then I saw you one day laughing under that big Dallas sky
After you went away I thought I'd never see your face again
Ships that pass in the night
Thought I'd make my way up north, go get a steady job
Work with my hands if the occasion called
But the West Texas wind
Kept calling me back
Through China-town and up the East River
To that big Dallas sky
I knew I'd find you in a bar some place
Pretending you never knew the stranger at the door
But the other customers were wise to that game
I knew you'd come running sooner or later
But not because of my sweet longing arms
And not because of the way I held you that night
KRAFTWERK lyrics - The Model
She's a model and she's looking good
I'd like to take her home that's understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind
She's going out tonight but drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She's playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay
She's posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she's a big success, I want to meet her again

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Easy Way Out
(Valentini/Saulino)
Darlin' all you do is decieve.
Always a heartache up your sleeve
What good does it do to be hidin' the truth
(Hidin' Hidin')
The only one you really fool is you.
[Chorus:]
Baby i'm teaking the easy way out
And i know that you know what i'm talking about
All these games that you play i can live without
I'm takin' the easy way out
Your misbehavin' is tto much to bear
You got me thinking that you just don't care
All of your lyin's so hard to believe
(Lyin' Lyin')
Why do you do these things to me.
[Chorus]
Startin' Tonight it's gonna be much better
It's gonna feel good to get you off my mind
[Chorus]
UB40 lyrics - Don't Let It Pass You By
There's no-one coming with that freedom train.
There's nowhere you can go where you feel no pain.
Take the blinkers off you eye's,
The power is in your hand.
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land.
There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell.
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on,
Waiting on a higher high.
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in pass you by.

PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED lyrics - Think Tank
Could have been a major problem
But I did not - I didn't look back
And all you dirty druggies
Chicken shit - sad sacks
Rewriting history
Tampering in my story
Standing in my shadow
But still so pale, so shallow
Think tank, winner takes all, loser takes blank
Think tank: burning off steam, I'll let you dream
Dream on
Mother nature's kind regards
Balancing the house of cards
Assuming and consuming
Of the peg commodities
The politics of common sense
Violence as self defense
Smiles and metaphors
The languages of lesser whores
I might no know much - but I know all this
Did you think - I would not notice
Love loves money - and delights in praise
Easy money as a virtue, watch it quickly fade
And it could have been a problem
But I did not - I don't look back
CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - New Moon
A new moon is laughing up there in the sky, but
My love is crying and I'll tell you why...
Crisis and confusion when she came along,
Followed by delusion when I found out that I was wrong,
She said "Baby, we're cruising along on the crest of a wave,"
And I said "Maybe, but baby I'm losing, and the only wave is goodbye"...
'Cos just when I'm starting to burn with desire,
My blood's getting hot and the flames rising higher,
She says "Goodnight"...
And leaves me on fire, and I'm so sorry my love,
I gotta say goodbye, ooh, ohh.
A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright, shine your light on me for the rest of the night...
Scenes of soft seduction, spinning through my head,
Watching her deduction as I lay grinning on my bed,
Sie said "Honey, it's so moving, I can almost see our wedding day,"
And I said "Funny, you'd better start grooving honey or the only move is away"...
And then she turned with that look in her eye,
And I know that bad weather'll be here by and by,
And sure enough, she started to cry, and I'm so sorry my love,
I really gotta fly, ooh, ohh...
A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright... ooh shine your light on me for the rest of the night...
New moon, new moon... oh, oh, new moon,
Bye, bye, bye, new moon, bye, bye, new moon.
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Here Comes Sunshine
Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine,
Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin'
Get out of the way, get out of the way,
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Line up a long shot maybe try it two times, maybe more,
Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor,
Why hold out for more?
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Askin' you nice, now, keep the mother rollin'
One more time, been down before,
You just don't have to go no more, no more.
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Bitch Is Back
I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Houston (Meridian)
I wanna go play where the geckos play,
Where I can't understand a word that people say,
Where the noonday sun burns you alive,
By the ramp for Interstate 45!
Meridian! Meridian! Meridian! Yeah!
I wanna go play where the geckos play,
Where I can't understand a word that people say,
Where the noonday sun burns you alive,
By the ramp for Interstate 45!
Meridian! Meridian! Meridian! Yeah!
I'm sleeping in the Astrodome!
I'm sleeping in the Astrodome!
I'm sleeping in the Astrodome!
I'm sleeping in the Dome!
Meridian! Meridian! Meridian! Yeah!
Meridian! Meridian! Meridian! Yeah!

PABLO CRUISE lyrics - Whatcha Gonna Do
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
So you're having trouble with your romance
Well you better check it out before it goes
'Cause you may not be seein'
Things just the way you should
And you don't recognize what everybody knows
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands
[Instrumental Interlude]
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
WET WET WET lyrics - Sweet Surrender
Hey little fella, get your show together
I was listening in before
Now I don't care no more
Look around now (look around now)
It's always that it's gonna get me down
It's only begun
One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender
Sweet surrender
My determination
Came creeping across the nation
Sure mistake for anyone
So you can't take home everyone
Cause it's only just begun
One look is all it took
To remember that sweet surrender
I recall, do you
That sweet surrender
I don't know, I don't care
Cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
Yeah it only took, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
Do you believe my sweet surrender
My sweet surrender
Hey little fella, now your show's together
I never wanted you to listen before
So why should I walk out the door
Stick around now (stick around now)
And so the story goes on through the night
It's only begun
One look is all it took
I remember that sweet surrender
Do you recall, cause I do
My sweet surrender
I don't know, I don't care
Cause I'm living without you baby
Even when I know what's going on
Yeah all it takes, one look, one glance
To set my heart for romance
One look is all it took
My sweet surrender
That sweet surrender
One look is all it took to remember
(I don't know and I don't care)
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Spiraling Shape
Down, down, down you go
No way to stop
As you fall, hear me call
No, no, no
Listen to this warning and
Consider these
Simple words of advice
Stop, stop, stop
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And nobody knows what it's really like
But everyone says it's great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
This could lead to excellence
Or serious injury
Only one way to know
Go, go, go
Go ahead, wreck your life
That might be good
Who can say what's wrong or right?
Nobody can
Put out your hands and you fall through the window
And clawing at nothing you drop through the void
Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned
In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And now that you've tried it, you're back to report
That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake
You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it
There won't be a refund, you'll never go back
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And nobody knows what it's really like
But everyone says it's great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
(Spiral in their eyes)
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Take Me Down
Someday I'm gonna pack up
And then I'm goin' back up
To that place where sentimental feelings arouse
Where the grass is so green
And the air is so clean
That when the wind is right you can even smell the cows
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back
To that city today
If you're new in town
Then you'll wanna look around
But you don't know where to begin
Well, there's Bubble Gum Alley
And the local car rally
Not to mention the toilets at Madonna Inn
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back
To that city today
It's not much of a hassle
To drive up to Hearst's Castle
And it's not too far from Pismo Beach or Morro Rock
You can visit downtown at your leisure
Because for your shopping pleasure
The stores never close down until five o'clock
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back
To that city today
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away
Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back
To that city today
PETULA CLARK lyrics - My Love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky.
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
Something happended to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And everyday it seems that I want you more
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky.
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you everyday
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Drivin' Sister
(Ian Hunter / Mick Ralphs)
Eight-track machine playing 'half moon bay'
Drivin' in my volks down on hamstead way
Her mother got bust on a 88
And her brother got stuck on my number plate
Hey mister bartender won't you gimme some wine
I gotta get outta town, meet my baby on time
He put five gallons in my petrol tank
You know we just about made it but her breath sure stank yeah
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She's got feel on the wheel
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She don't make with no brakes
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She's an automobeat on the street
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She's much too much on the clutch
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She got her feet on the wheel
Drivin' sister rock'n'roll
She don't make with no brakes
I said drive, drive, drive, drive
And drive little sister drive
I said drive, drive, drive, drive
And drive little sister, drive on.
DEEP PURPLE lyrics - I Need Love
(Bolin/Coverdale)
I keep singing the same old song
Like I did before
When you left me
You left me in darkness
I'd never known before
I was restless
A fool for your time
Waiting 'round for you to call
But now I've found me
An angel of mercy
I don't feel bad at all
Your body was honey
I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe
I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
An' keep me satisfied
I need love
I've got nothing to do
Ain't got nothing to say
Just live your life
The way you know
When you moved on
You took all the sweetness
Was I a fool to let you go
With the woman I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before
Tho I'm still singing
The same old love song
I don't want you knocking on my door

ROBERT PLANT lyrics - Great Spirit
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Who has chased away the moonbeams?
Who has pulled a blanket across the sky?
Who will sing in celebration
Throughout this land that's bound to die?
Oh - that's bound to die
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Who will put an end to all this sadness?
Who hears the Earth that cries beneath the burning rain?
All truth reduced to piles of greed and madness
The accident remains the same
It remains the same
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Robbery and evil and the stealing
From the body and the mind for the healing
Of the spirit and the pride and the will of the land
(Grace and courage, honesty and love)
There's evil, there's evil, there's evil going on
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
I love my brother - I must share the seed
That falls through fortune at my feet
The fate of nations and of all their needs
Lies trapped inside these hearts of greed
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Great Spirit come - come on, come on
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
(Grace and courage, honesty and love)
Great Spirit come - come on, come on
It's the will of the land
(Great Spirit - Great Spirit)
The will of the land
We'll sing in celebration --
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Way Beyond The Blue
(Steven Curtis Chapman)
[Ephesians 1:18-21, 2:4-7, 3:16-21]
Way beyond the blue, the Father is calling;
Let Him take you to a life beyond compare.
The passion fades and your sense of adventure
Sits collecting dust on a shelf;
The new gets old and hearts get cold.
Where's the flame that burned with excitement?
Where's the hope you once knew so well?
It's lost at sea with all your dreams.
There you stand caught between an endless sky above and earth below;
Look above and beyond what you can see to find a view of all that this life can
Be.
[Chorus:]
Way beyond the blue where the Father is calling,
Let Him take you to a life beyond compare;
His love is wider than the sky above you,
And He has plans for you that go way beyond the blue.
Like the wind carries an eagle,
Let His hand carry you now,
And show you scenes of His mighty strength.
As you rise high above all the riches that this world could give,
You will find the depth of His love,
And His grace that is lifting you up to live.
[Chorus]
God has raised us up with Christ
And seated us with Him in heavenly places,
So that He can show the riches of His grace
To the coming ages.
[Chorus]
THE HOLLIES lyrics - If I Needed Someone
If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone
If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
[Break]
If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
If I needed someone
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Don't Send Me Back To Petrograd
[Verse:]
Poor little immigrant feeling Oh, so sad
I came from Petrograd with ev'rything I had
Now that I'm over here they won't let me stay
That's why I'm so unhappy today
Please don't send me away
[1st refrain:]
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to Petrograd
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to my hometown
There's millions of people on the shore
Why can't you make room for just one more
There's a boy that I love waiting out on the pier
How can I go when my heart is over here
Give me the chance that you gave all my friends from Petrograd
I want to be in the land of the free and settle down
That Liberty statue down the bay
Is looking right at you and seems to say
Oh! don't send her back
It's terrible in my hometown
[2nd refrain:]
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to Petrograd
Don't send me back, I don't want to go back to my hometown
The very best people that you know
Were foreigners not so long ago
When they came over here they were all immigrants
So were their cousins and their uncles and their aunts
Give me the chance that you gave all my friends from Petrograd
I want to be in the land of the free and settle down
I'll promise to work the best I can
I'll even wash sheets for the Ku Klux Klan
Oh! don't send me back
It's terrible in my hometown
MANOWAR lyrics - Heart Of Steel
(Joey DeMaio)
Build a fire a thousand miles away to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone...
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone
Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel
Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold
Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Heartbreak Express
(Dolly Parton)
Packin' my suitcase writin' a tear stained good-bye note
Sayin' so long to a love gone wrong and that's all she wrote
Leavin' behind what once was mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and I'm leavin' town on the Heartbreak Express
Walkin in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
The only things that's gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
Lost and lonely waitin in line at the ticket desk
Hey mister won't you give me a one-way ticket on the Heartbreak Express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off my mind
It hurts to know it ain't enough when you give your best
Got a ticket to ride and I'm leavin tonight on the Heartbreak Express
Oh I couldn't hold a candle to a flaming beauty that caught his eye
It's killin' me now but I won't stay around and let him watch me die
Oh it just goes to show you never do know 'cause I never would'a guessed
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the Heartbreak Express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off mt mind
Maybe someday somewhere someway I will forget
But there's no goin' back so roll down the track you ole Heartbreak Express
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans
On the Heartbreak Express
PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - A Man Could Get Arrested
(Do it. Do it. Do it now. Do it.)
Late on Tuesday evening such a commotion in the street
Someone broke a window and someone's head got beat
A wave of breaking bottles crashed across the city street
and someone got arrested for a breach of the peace
If you wanna walk, don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn, learn how to do it
And if you wanna ride, don't hide, do it
If you wanna stay, don't say, prove it
How much longer you gonna sit and talk to me?
You've got so many problems and a split personality
You want to see a doctor before our love is tested
How much longer? A man could get arrested
If you wanna walk, don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn, learn how to do it
And if you wanna ride, don't hide, do it
And if you wanna stay, don't say, prove it
You got your health, you got everything, that's what my doctor said
You may not have much cash but you've got a roof over your head
Of course I said I loved you not just 'cause you insisted
How much longer? A man could get arrested
If you wanna walk, don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn, learn how to do it
If you wanna ride, don't hide, do it
If you wanna stay, don't say, do it, do it
Oh babe, why don't we do it now?
Do it now
Oh babe, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Oh babe, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
KISS lyrics - Charisma
Is it my fortune or my fame
Is it my money or my name
Is it my personality
Or just my sexuality, yeah, yeah
What is my charisma
What is my charisma, yeah
Is it my body or my brain
Do I drive you insane, ha
Is it the power of my touch

MORRISSEY lyrics - Found Found Found
found found found
found found found
someone who's worth it
in this murkiness
someone who's never
seeming scheming
found found found
found found found
someone who's worth it
in this murkiness
someone who's never
seeming scheming
Oh, but if I'd never found
oh, but if I'd never found
oh, but if I'd never found
I do believe that
the more you give your love
and I do believe that
the more you offer trust
the more you chase
the more you cry
the more you're bound to lose
the more you're bound to lose
Oh, but if I'd never found
oh, but if I'd never found
somebody
who wants to be
who wants to be
with me
all the time

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Learning "Penis Dimension"
Mark: "Hi, friends. Now just be honest about it, friends and neighbours. Did you ever consider the possibility that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that size of the tities themselves might possibly provide elements of sub-conscious tension. . . "
Howard: See, the trouble here, Frank, lies in the fact that on that sheet it says "that size," it doesn't say "that the size" therefore. . .
FZ: Get a pencil and write in "that the size"
Mark: Could I have a. . .
Howard: Well, I'm sorry
Mark: " . . . weird, twisted anxieties which could force a person to become a politician, a policeman, a narc, a casket maker. . . "
FZ: An usher!
Jeff: A musician
Mark: "Or in the case of the ladies, the ones that can't afford a silicon beef-up, become writers of hot books!"
Howard: "I placed my burning phallus between her quivering quim!"
Mark: "A carmelite nun!"
Howard: "She placed my burning phallus between her quivering quim!"
Mark: "Or jockeys! There is no reason why you or your loved one should suffer. Things are bad enough already without the size of your organ adding even more misery to the troubles of the world! If you are a lady with munchkin tits, you can't console yourself with this age old line. . . "
FZ: No, "you can console yourself"
Mark: "You can console yourself with this age old line from. . . "
Howard: Simmons!
POOO-HHH! POOO-AHH-AHH!
Mark: "And if you're a guy. . . "
Howard: "Anything over a mouthful. . . "
Mark & Howard: " . . . is wasted!"
Mark: "And if you're a guy and you're ashamed of your dick and somebody hits on you one night in a casual conversation and turns to you and says, uh. . . "
Howard: "Eight inches or less!"
Mark: "You just swivel right back around and look this sonofabitch straight in the eyes, and say. . . "
MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - The Long Way Home
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
You could be this man, he's got it all worked out
To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts
He'll retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green
Now he's got a picture in his head of the perfect wife,
Their perfect children, their perfect life
Bothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams
Funny now how it all went by so fast
One day he's looking over his shoulder at the past
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere
How did he forget about what got him there
Now you could be this woman, she's the CEO
She's got her powersuits and her IPO's
She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasn't pulled back since
Now there's a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals,
A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills
A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch
Funny now how it all went by so fast
One day she's looking over her shoulder at the past
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere
Somehow she forgot about what got her there
Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination
Or you could be the one who takes the long way home
Roll down your window, turn off your phone
See your life as a gift from the great unknown
And your task is to receive it
Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight
Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night
Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and
Laugh when they believe it
Funny now how it all goes by so fast
One day I'm looking over my shoulder at the past
Now everybody's got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere
Baby don't forget about
You really shouldn't forget about
Baby don't forget what got you there
I think it's what got you there
Yeah it's really what got you there
You know what got you there
SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Deliver Me
Deliver me, out of my sadness
Deliver me, from all of the madness
Deliver me, courage to guide me
Deliver me, strength from inside me
All of my life I've been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here, now that I've found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through
Deliver me, loving and caring
Deliver me, giving and sharing
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing
All of my life I was in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here, now that I've found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through
Deliver me
Deliver me
Oh deliver me
All of my life I was in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here, now that I've found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through
Deliver me
Oh deliver me
Won't you deliver me

THE MONKEES lyrics - I'll Spend My Life With You
(Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart)
People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.
And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.
I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some mem'ries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.
And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.
[Instrumental]
And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

RAY DAVIES lyrics - Expectations
Now all the lies are beginning to show,
And you're not the country that I used to know.
I loved you once from my head to my toe,
But now my belief is shaken.
And all your ways are so untrue,
No one breaks promises the way that you do.
You guided me, I trusted you,
But now my illusion's shaken.
Thought this empire would be here
At least a thousand years.
But all the expectations and aspirations,
Slowly disappear.
Now all the lies have gone on too long,
And a million apologies can't right the wrong.
Soldiers die but the lies go on,
But soon we will awaken.
In our expectations for the future,
We were not to know.
We had expectations, now we've reached
As far as we can go.
And all your manners are too, too polite,
Just to prove that your conscious is white and bright.
You had your day so get ready for the night,
For another dawn is breaking.
We had expectations, now we've reached
As far as we can go.
DEEP PURPLE lyrics - A Castle Full Of Rascals
Nothing here for me today
Garbaggio from the men in grey
Don't do this
You can't do that
What's the point
What's the matter, anyway
Fat cat's licking cream
Dirty business
hard and mean
Narrow eyes and hungry days
There's got to be
a better way
Something here about my face
Somehing make you think
I got time to waste
What you doing
standing here
Why don't you call
someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers just a game
Another day nothing changes
There's got to be a better way
A glistening of questioners
Prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows
manoeuvre for position
A fundament of righteous men
A barrow ideals
The carriage of misjustice
Crushes all beneath it's wheels
Conspiracies of silence
Within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises
Tha no one can recall
A castle full of rascals
A fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues
That latter to deceive
Oh my darling Carolina
If you get the chance
to walk behind here
She's so clean
you see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cat's got to go
I'm Rockin' and rollin'
from my headache to my toes
She's trying to set the world on fire
Up there in her Ivory tower
BOB MARLEY lyrics - No More Trouble
(We don't need) No, we don't need (no more trouble) no more trouble!
(We don't need no more trouble)
Wo! Oh-oh-oh!
(We don't need) We don't need no (no more) trouble!
We don't need no trouble!
(We don't need no more trouble)
Make love and not war! 'Cause we don't need no trouble.
What we need is love (love)
To guide and protect us on. (on)
If you hope good down from above, (love)
Help the weak if you are strong now. (love)
We don't need no trouble;
What we need is love. Oh, no!
We don't need - we don't need - no more trouble!
Lord knows, we don't need no trouble!
(We don't need) We don't need trouble (no more trouble) -

Seek happiness! (...) Oh, ...!
Come on, you all and speak of love. (...) Oh, yeah!
We don't need no trouble;
What we need is love, now. (What we need is love!)
(We don't need) Oh, we don't need no more trouble!
We don't need, no - we don't need no trouble!
We don't (need) - no, brothers and sisters... (no more trouble!)
We don't need no trouble; we don't need no trouble!
We don't need no trouble!
What we need is love!
We don't need - we don't need no more - we don't need -
no more trouble - we don't need no more trouble!
Trouble we don't need (we don't need),
(We don't need) Lord, knows! -
we don't need no more war (no more trouble).
No more trouble - we don't need no more - more trouble! [fadeout]
HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - I'm Leavin' You
(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)
Well maybe in the mornin', I don't know
Baby don't know, just how soon
But I'm leavin' you
Woman I've got to put you down
Well if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hangin' around
Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out that wasn't so
I'm leavin' you
Woman I got to put you down
Girl if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hangin' around
Well early in the mornin' before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You's a mean little thing, meanest woman I ever seen
No matter how I try to treat you right
Still you's a mean little thing
Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out, baby, bye bye
I'm leavin'
Woman I got to put you down
Well if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hangin' around
Well early in the morning before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You's a mean little thing
Mean little thing as you can be
Well if you can't treat me right
Still you's a mean little thing
I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
WHAM! lyrics - Young Guns (Go For It!)
Hey sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)
Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile,
When I saw that girl upon your arm,
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.
I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!
Hey sucker,
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker!
(Now there's nothing you can do.)
A married man? you're out of your head
Sleepless nights, on an H. P. bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If your happy with a nappy then you're in for fun.
But you're here
And you're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhere
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this young gun says CAUTION PAYS!
[Chorus:]
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!
I remember when he such fun and everthing was fine,
I remember when we use to have a good time,
Partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away,
Tell me that you're happy now,
Turning my back
Nothing to say!
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, we got things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,
Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"
OoooooH!
GET BACK
HANDS OFF
GO FOR IT!
[Chorus]

RUFUS AND CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Stay
(Richard Calhoun and Chaka Khan)
Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That I'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What I'm doing's gotta pay
Some way, somehow
My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
It fits, but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life alright
The good Lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay (won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (don't you go, no no)
Stay, stay (oh no no)
Stay, stay (stay baby baby please stay)
Stay, stay (right here, right here, right here)
Stay, stay (I want you to stay right here)
Stay, stay (we can stay here, together, together yeah)
Stay, stay (don't listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)
HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Bluebird Blues
(John Lee Williamson)
Bluebird bluebird, I want you to take a message down south for me
Bluebird bluebird, I want you to take a message down south for me
I want ya to find Miss Liza Belle and tell her, I'm just as poor as a man can be
Bluebird, if she's not at home, you needn't worry yourself by knockin' on the door
Bluebird, if she's not at home, you needn't worry yourself by knockin' on the door
She may be right across the street, seein' the next door neighbor, you know
Bluebird, when ya come back to Chicago, I want you to fly 'tween the sun and cloud
When ya come back to Chicago, I want you to fly 'tween the sun and the cloud
If ya get a message from Liza Belle, don't let it hit the ground

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - No Expectations
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
You heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Its here, and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
STATUS QUO lyrics - Rockin' All Over The World
(Fogerty)
Ah here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we're hitting the road
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
Ah giddy-up and giddy-up and get away
We're going crazy and we're going today
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-like
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
I'm gonna tell your mama what you're gonna do
Come on out with your dancing shoes
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-like
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-like
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-like
Here we go, rockin' all over the world

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Ready For The End Of The World
(Clint Daniels and Tony Martin)
I know the end is near...
I've seen the warning signs.
Been preparin' myself,
Layin' in supplies.
I bought a case of Jack,
A boxed-set of Merle...
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come...
That final hour it all comes undone.
An' she drops the bomb...
An' says he ain't my girl.
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.
[Instrumental break]
My neon shelter waits,
Where I can go to hide.
While the memories burn,
I'll be safe inside.
With the honky-tonk few,
Bracin' for the worst...
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come...
That final hour it all comes undone.
An' she drops the bomb...
An' says he ain't my girl.
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.
Yeah, I'll be ready...
Ready for the end of the world.

THE CURE lyrics - The Figurehead
Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while...
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight...
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
