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

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

Do you need me too much, too much, too much



What is my charisma, what is my, what is my

What is my charisma

Is it my fortune or my fame

What is my, is it my money or my name, charisma, yeah

What is my, yeah, yeah, yeah, charisma

What is it about me that gets you so hot, hot, yeah



Am I the master of your soul

Do you lose all control, ha

Is it my fire or my flame

Do I drive you insane, charisma



What is my charisma, yeah

What is my, is it my fire or my flame, charisma

What is my charisma

What is my charisma

Is it my body or my brain

What is my, is it my money or my name, charisma

And do I drive you insane

What is my, what is my, what is my, charisma

What is my, is it my fortune or my fame, charisma

And do I drive you insane

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!

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.

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 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
