REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Someone Else

(Pat Bunch/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pam Rose)



I know that you've seen love walk out the door once or twice.

I know that you've seen it all, waiting by the telephone, you didn't get the call.

Well baby let me tell ya, you're looking at me with suspicious eyes, but they'll never be confirmed.



If there was someone else I wouldn't be here now.

Cause you're the only one I want my arms around.

And I'm telling you the truth and now I'll tell ya why.

If there was someone else I'd be with him tonight.



No time for doubts, I'm gonna turn your heart around.

Think about you everyday.

Gonna make you understand my love is here to stay.

We've got something going that's so hard to find.

You are the one, the only one that's on my mind.



If there was someone else I wouldn't be here now.

Cause you're the only one I want my arms around.

And I'm telling you the truth, and now I'll tell ya why.



If there was someone else I'd be with him tonight.

Oh, if there was someone else I wouldn't be here now.

Cause you're the only one I want my arms around.

And I'm telling you the truth and now I'll tell ya why.

If there was someone else I'd be with him tonight.

BABYFACE lyrics - A Bit Old-Fashioned

I believe that a woman

Is the most precious thing on earth

And I'll do anything

And I do mean anything

To stop my baby

From ever being hurt



Well it might seem kinda crazy to ya

Somewhat outta style



I'm just a bit old-fashioned

And I can't help

Livin' that way

I'm just a bit old-fashioned

And I can't help

Livin' that way



I'll go and work

My fingers to the bone

And I'll work overtime

So she can have a home

And I'll do anything

And I do mean anything

Don't want my baby

To hurt for a thing



Well that might sound kinda crazy to ya

Somewhat outta style



[HOOK]



Oh baby

That's the only way that I'll ever be

Forever dedicated to thee

One girl is all I ever will need

Loving you forever indeed

My whole damn life is you

And I would die for you

I might sound crazy

But the only thing important is you

I love you



[HOOK]

RUSH lyrics - Losing It

The dancer slows her frantic pace

In pain and desperation,

Her aching limbs and downcast face

Aglow with perspiration

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,

With just the briefest pause

The flooding through her memory,

The echoes of old applause.

She limps across the floor

And closes her bedroom door...

The writer stare with glassy eyes

Defies the empty page

His beard is white, his face is lined

And streaked with tears of rage.

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow

With passion and precision,

But now his mind is dark and dulled

By sickness and indecision

And he stares out the kitchen door

Where the sun will rise no more...

Some are born to move the world

To live their fantasies

But most of us just dream about

The things we'd like to be

Sadder still to watch it die

Than never to have known it

For you, the blind who once could see

The bell tolls for thee...

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Wonderful Remark

How can you stand the silence

That pervades when we all cry

How can you watch the violence

That erupts before your eyes



You can't even grab a hold on

When we're hanging oh so loose

You don't even listen to us

When we talk it ain't no use



Leave your thoughtlessness behind you

Then you may begin to understand

Clear the emptiness around you

With the waving of your hand



That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies to myself, to myself

Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh



Now, how can we listen to you

When we know that your talk is cheap

How can we never question

Why we give more and you keep



How can your empty laughter

Fill a room like ours with joy

When you're only playing with us

Like a child does with a toy



How can we ever feel the freedom

Or the flame lit by the spark

How can we ever come out even

When reality is stark



That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies to myself, to myself

Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh



Listen, how can you tell us something

Just to keep us hanging on, yeah

Something that just don't mean nothin'

When we see you, you are gone



Clinging to some other rainbow

While we're standing waiting outside in the cold

Telling us the same sad story

Knowing time is growing old



Touch your world up with some colour

Dream you're swinging on a star

Taste it first then add some flavour

Now you know just who you are



That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs, oh yeah

I told a million lies to myself, oh yeah, to myself

Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh

Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh



Wonderful remark

And that...



That was a wonderful remark, yes it was, right on

I had my eyes closed in the dark, right on

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies to myself, alright, to myself

Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh



Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Right on, right on

Oh, oh, oh, oh, cut loose

Cut loose, cut loose

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

etc. (fade to end)

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Pictures Of Innocence

(Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice/Morse)



I hear they're trying to make us all the same

It's mind control by any other name

Who's gonna pay the price

For this foolish paradise

Oh:Momma don't take that train



I hear it said we're headed too far south

Chinese whispers go by word of mouth

Rules for every size and shape

The nag has gone, shut the gate

Once you're in you're never getting out



I'm so misunderstood

There goes my manlihood

She's in my face again

With that picture of innocence



No drinks, No smokes

No dicking around

No dirty jokes

Straight lace, straight face

The old straight jacket

We got no hope



I hear they're gonna try out something new

I can feel it sticking to my shoe

So this is what tomorrow holds

Hopes and dreams are bought and sold

But still the world is misty green and blue



I', so misunderstood

There goes my mannish boyhood

She's in my face again

With that picture of innocence



No deals, No strokes

No forbidden fruit

No holy smoke

What next, no sex

That's the end of the road

That's the end of the road

We got no hope



No drinks, No smokes

No dicking around

No dirty jokes

Straight lace, straight face

The old straight jacket

We got no hope



No deals, No strokes

No forbidden fruit

No holy smoke

What next, no sex

That's the end of the road

We got no hope

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Angels Dance

Come down to the river with me,

Come, lay down your heart at the shore,

We'll jump into the waters of life; they will wash us clean evermore.



When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance.



Little ones that wander astray, to your father you are so dear,

Love and mercy beckon to you,

How God longs to hold you so near.



When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance.



Parties that are given by men: caviar, confetti and lace, can't compare with God's great plan,

Love spills over, full of grace.



When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance.

WHITESNAKE lyrics - Love To Keep You Warm

(David Coverdale)



If you want love,

You gotta be cool

And if you deny it,

Then baby you're a fool

I'm telling you now,

Don't you hide it away

Because you need to keep you warm both night and day



I could come home

Late at night

And after some loving,

Baby, it would be alright

I've given up trying

Lying my way

Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,

You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day



I said baby, if you need my love

You better come home with me

Maybe if you want my love,

You know you got it easily

But, when the sun goes down

And the night is cold,

You know I won't be far away

Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,

You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day



You gotta have love



If you want schooling baby

I'll be around,

I'm ready for fooling

But, don't hang around

And every morning I know I will say

Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,

You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day



I said baby, if you need my love

You better come home with me

Maybe if you want my love,

You know you got it easily

But, when the sun goes down

And the night is cold,

You know I won't be far away

Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,

You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,

You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,

I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Chattanooga Choo Choo

(Hi there Tex, what you say?)

Step aside partner, it's my day

bend an ear, and listen to my version

of a really solid Tennessee excursion

pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?

(Yes, Yes, Track 29)

Hey would you give me a shine?

(Can you afford to board Chattanooga Choo-Choo?)

I got my fare

and just the travel to spare

you leave the Pennsylvania Station by a quarter to four

you read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore

dinner in a diner

nothing could be finer

and then to have a hammer in the Carolina

when you hear the whistle blowing into the bar

then you now the Tennessee is not very far

shove a all the coal in

gotta keep a rollin'

woo-woo Chattanooga there you are

there's gonna be

a certain party at the station

Satin and Lace (ooh)

I use to call funny face

(doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

she's gonna cry

until I promise to never ever roll,

so Chattanooga choo-choo

won't you choo choo me home

(Chattanooga Chattanooga)

get aboard

(Chattanooga Chattanooga)

Chattanooga choo choo

won't you choo-choo me home

Chattanooga choo choo

let's dance

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Luxembourg

Dressed up like a dog's dinner

Butter wouldn't melt on your paws

If this is a dog's life

Then you're the cat's clothes

They hire out your sons

And hire out your daughters

The man from abroad says he's already bought her

And now you look like a lover but you're only a tourist



[Chorus:]

You're either talking or yawning

You didn't listen to a thing you heard

Don't start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg



You get over

You're worried by her body

She's worryin' about her bodily odour

You pull off

The pull over

You say that you love her when you really loathe her

Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her



[Chorus]



They're smiling sweetly while they're looking daggers

Kick you where it really matters

Send all your friends to Coventry

And look for your name in last night's obituaries



If you've got the Deutschmarks

If you've got the Yen, then

You get the shirt off her back and the clock off Big Ben

Somebody's soft touch

Struck all these bargains

In the drinking clubs with the council men

Making plans to put lead back in their pencils again



[Chorus]

BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - Sinful Love

You're over my shoulder, I think I'm possessed

Your constant undertone, is making me toothless

Times come to trim you out of my life

Gonna cut you out, baby, out of my life



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon



The power that I give you, I'm so sick of your voice

In my body, You don't give me no choice

But to boot you, honey, to give you the shove

So take back your despot, I'll keep you love



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon



I'm searching by symbols, looking for a pistol

To laser you out, it looks like a keyhole

I'll just stick my key back, seamless and whole

No more idols, got my own self control



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Ocean

I am the west wind.

I am the sea gull.

I dance on the waves,

As they break on the shore line.



The moon is my sorrow.

The moon is my lantern.

I search for you so long,

These dark lonely beaches.



Oh where can you be?

This restless sea,

These empty nights,

Have swallowed me.



Look for something

Softer illusions

Soothe these vicious schemes.

There is the old one,

The wise one, the gold one.



I am the hunger,

The ache of the fiction,

And nestles in bones,

That he left for the vultures.



Death is my secret,

A child my illusion,

And life is the suffering,

That brings men to (something?).



Oh, where can you be?

This raging age,

This rotting life,

Is misery.



Lost in your body,

Cave of you screeming,

Longing to be free.

Then you have broken,

The spine of your madness,

Come over here to me.

GREEN DAY lyrics - Haushinka

Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name.

I met her on the eve of my birthday.

Did she know, did she know, before she went away, does she know? But it's too damn late



This girl has gone far away.

Now she's gone.



All I have now is a memory to date.

A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name.

I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away.

I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late.



Will she ever find her way?

I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?

Yet again I'm kicking myself, and I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you.

Waiting for you now.

RAY CHARLES lyrics - After My Laughter Came Tears

I laughed the day I saw you leave, I laughed and

Said Id never grieve

But now after my laughter came tears

(after my laughter came tears)



I told my friends, I didnt care, I laughed about

A whole affair

But say now after my laughter came tears



My cryin helped me from showin them that I was blue

(listen)

By myself you'll never know what I've been through

(Just what I'm goin through )



My lips conceal a hurtin pain, I make believe but

All in vain

I said now after my



[Solo Piano]



My cryin helped me from showin them that I was blue

By myself you'll never know what I've been through

My lips conceal a hurtin pain, I make believe but

All in vain

THE MONKEES lyrics - Sweet Young Thing

(Gerry Goffin, Carole King and Michael Nesmith)



Know that something very strange

Is happening to my brain.

I'm either feeling very good

Or else I am insane.

The seeds of doubt you planted

Have started to grow wild

But feel that I must yield before

The wisdom of a child



And it's love you bring,

No that I can't deny,

With your wings,

I can learn to fly,

Sweet young thing.



People try to talk to me

Their words are ugly sounds

But I resist all their attempts

To try and bring me down..

Turned on to the sunset,

Like I've never done before.

And I listen for your footsteps

And your know upon the door.



And it's love you bring,

With dreams of bluer skies

All these things,

When I seem them in your eyes

Sweet young thing.

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.



Everybody knows a turkey

And some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.



They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys

And goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer

Really know how to fly.



And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said

Many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you.

JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Had A Dad (Outtake)

Had a dad

Big and strong

Turned around

Found my daddy gone

He was the one

Made me what I am today

Its up to me now

My daddy has gone away



Well I spoke to the mountain

I listened to the sea

Both told me that fountain

Was the best that you can be

My daddy's hand it growed

Slow to the lickin'

Sonny boy

Grow to whip him



If you see my dad

Tell him my brothers

All gone mad

They're beating on each other

I walked around

Even tried to call

Got that funny feeling



He's not there

At all...

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Start Me Up

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



If you start me up

If you start me up I'll never stop

If you start me up

If you start me up I'll never stop

I've been running hot

You got me ticking gonna blow my top

If you start me up

If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline

I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

Start it up

If you start it up

Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got

I can't compete with the riders in the other heats

If you rough it up

If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate, my lips go green

My hands are greasy

She's a mean, mean machine

Start it up

If start me up

Give it all you got

You got to never, never, never stop

Never, never

Slide it up

You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind at double speed

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

Start it up

Love the day when we will never stop, never stop

Never stop, never stop

Tough me up

Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry

You, you make a dead man cum

You, you make a dead man cum

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Lullaby

I was the boy who said all of my prayers

Laid my clean face on the pillow

Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure

Through the night

I heard a noise, it was probably nothing

It pulled me right out of a dream

If I knew it was you

I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream



I am the one who growls in your closet

I am the one who lives under your bed



[Chorus:]

Get down - back where you started

Get down - back into hell

Your black soul, you know you're

black hearted

I smell your sulfurous smell



All of my things that I play with in daylight

You turn into monsters at night

My toys were my friends

Until you taught them all how to bite



You showed me things little boys

shouldn't see

You scared me with visions of fire

You danced on my bed

With the flames on your head dancing higher



I am the one who growls in your closet

I am the one who lives under your bed



[Chorus]



I tell ya right now

I don't want your reptile embrace

I don't want to follow you down

to your place

I don't want to be a child of disgrace

You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming

at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup

spewing, sweating blood demon breath out

of my face



[Chorus]



I was the boy who said all of my prayers

Laid my clean face on the pillow

Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure

Through the night

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Hoarfrost

I put my feet deep in the tracks that you made

Walked behind you off into the wood

'We'll know where when we get there' you said

And we both knew we would

High above like a spider

The colors turning brown

Freeways passing by us

I took yr hand and we knelt down

Wheels paddle wheels paddle movement as we go

Trees passing trees passing signs along the road

A view thru the trees to a couple in the snow

A view thru the trees to a couple standing in

The snow

Suddenly the trees were flashing by us

Clouds reflecting fast across your eyes

We turned into a frozen medow

The wind the only sound

'We'll know where when we get there' you said

'We'll know where when we get there' you said

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Who's The Blonde Stranger?

Nothing like this way out in west Texas

Galveston Bay is a whole other world

My wife's in her room getting over her sunburn

How would Louis Lamore get me next to that girl?



She tells me her tan is the same way all over

She asks me to dance and says, "Keep your boots on"

She never met a number one cowboy

We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn



Who's the blonde stranger"

Who entered my life"

Making me over on the moonlight

This side of Texas is all new to me

Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?



I stayed up all night and for me that's the first time

Sneak in the room just as cool as I can

Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty

Except for a note left by some guy named Dan



My head got all light and the room started spinning

I stepped outside just to get some fresh air

Out on a wave was my own darling Lola

And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair



Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife?

What were they doing in the moonlight?

This side of Texas is all new to me

Who are these strangers who live by the sea?



Back on the ranch and everything's normal

Beach blanket bingo comes on the TV

We talk in our sleep and then the next morning

I ask her who's Dan and she asks who's Marie?



Who's the blonde stranger, etc

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Stay Down Here Where You Belong

[1st verse:]

Down below

Down Below

Sat the devil talking to his son

Who wanted to go

Up above

Up above

He cried, "It's getting too warm for me down here and so

I'm going up on Earth where I can have a little fun

The Devil simply shook his head and answered his son



[Refrain:]

Stay down here where you belong

The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong



To please their kings they've all gone out to war

And not a one of them knows what he's fighting for



'Way up above they say that I'm a Devil and I'm bad

Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad



They're breaking the hearts of mothers

Making butchers out of brothers

You'll find more hell up there than there is down below



[2nd verse:]

"Kings up there

They don't care

For the mothers who must stay at home

Their sorrows to bear

Stay at home

Don't you roam

Although it's warm down below, you'll find it's warmer up there

If e'er you went up there, my son, I know you'd be surprised

You'd find a lot of people are not civilized"

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Secret Language Of Trees

Now the birds speak in secret rhythms

And the trees bark in secret sounds

And the people rush in secret thought

And they push the thoughts into the shape of words

And sometimes someone among us

Sticks her head into the

Shiny phosphorus blue vat

Of language

And listens, like a skeleton

To the pulsing of life within,

And she tells us

Of secret rattling angles

To watch for and to reach into

With strange oceans

And deafening skies

That can be mapped and measured

Only by sounds

And never by meanings

And once we can tell where we are

Using the nearest star

As it relates to the ragged water (a map of voices)

Then we can plant our feet into the good ground

And go to the rodeo

And answer the plum colored hawk

And sing to the river

In good faith

God presses his mouth around our head

He breaths out

He breathes in

And we are resuscitated in the goofy atmosphere of god

Where there are highways and bowling

And tattooed by the sun

A circus

Made by the prayer of breathing and living hope

And barbed eyes

Where coyotes hang





[Page 2]



And cowboys hammer

Posts and branches

To keep us inside

As much as keep someone out



And the prayer that is

And it is answered with a breathe

Gods lips against our own

We breath in

We breath out

He breaths out

And sigh

Alive again



The unexpected

Discovery

Of a b-side

Of life



(A map of voices)



A warning to others who would come this way

An animal who has seen things

A horn twisted into shapes

Understood by strangers

Recognized by demons

An invitation in the secret language of trees

Sung in wild shapes

By a child

NEW EDITION lyrics - Whispers In Bed

I've been livin' on the whispers in bed

And if you had a picture

Of what I've got in my head

Whispers in bed

Your voice is like an angel

And this boy wants to be left

Just an ordinary guy, uh-huh



And you're the vision that this boy wants to carry

You're perfect, you're the one I'll marry

You and I, we just keep getting closer

Soon it will be alright (It's gonna be alright)



I've been livin' on your whispers in bed

So full of emotion

Over all the things you said

Whispers in bed

I wish that I could see you

But I'll hold this phone instead

I'm a victim of your eyes, uh-huh



And endless pleasures we will have 'cause it's magic

And everything I have, girl, we will share

Oh...oh...oh...I can hardly disguise it

Girl, why should I deny it (We have so much to share)



Girl, every night when I'm home

And I'm sittin' around on my bed

And I pick up the phone and I dial your number

I always have these images of you

Running around inside my head

And I just wanna let you know

That I, Ralph T., will always love you



I've been livin' on the whispers in bed

And if you had a picture

Of what I've got in my head

Whispers in bed

Your voice is like an angel

And this boy wants to be left



Whispers in bed

So full of emotion

Over all the things you said

Whispers in bed

And if you had a picture

Of what I've got in my head

BABYFACE lyrics - If

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I paint you

The words will never show

The you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships

Then where am I to go

There's no one home but you

You're all that's led me to



And when my love for life is running dry

You come and pour yourself for me



If a man could be two places at one time

I'd be with you

Tomorrow and today

Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving

Spinning slowly down tonight

I'd spend the end with you

And when the world was due



Then one by one the stars would all go out

Then you and I would simply fly away

B. B. KING lyrics - Gambler's Blues

(B. B. King / Johnny Pate)



I don't know what love is, but I think I must have it bad

Yeah, you I don't know what love is, people, whoah, but I think I must have it bad

Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble, but whatever it is, it's enough to drive old me mad



They say love is just a proposition, people. it's strictly a game of give and take

Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition, people, they say it's strictly a game of give and take

Whoah, but my woman took all I gave her and I'm here to tell to you that love proposition stuff 's a fake



Oh, I don't claim to be no gambler people, oh, I don't know much about the dice

Yes, I don't claim to be no gambler people, I tell you I don't know much about the dice

Oh, but I wait and my baby knows, she knows I'm not the kind who's gonna crap out twice



Yes, she left me early this mornin', I don't know the reason why

She just got up early this mornin', didn't even say good-bye

But I love you, I love you, you know I love you baby, although you made me cry

Yes, there are a lot of women who love me, oh, but how you satisfy

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Nobody But You

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

You are the one I'm always thinking of

What can I do

You treat me cruel

Why don't you come and try to

When I looked at you

The night we met

I could have known

You were so sad

But now I see

Oh yeah I see

He is the one who keeps my love away

That's all

I'm telling you

Girl if you wait

You'll be as lonely as can be

But if you go

My love is strong

You forget him

And be glad

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

You are the one I'm always thinking of

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

Nobody but you

Well alright, well alright.



Well I guess I move once too often, babe,

An' I woke up and found myself alone.

Whoa, I guess I moved just one too many times,

Woke up an' found myself alone,

Hey, I don't like it!

Cold sheets made me realize

Catch me, daddy, 'cause I'm movin' on.

Gonna take, take, take your ride and roll,

Whoaaa, if you see me my baby, comin', oh, come on, comin' home,

Alright!

RAY DAVIES lyrics - After The Fall

(Ray Davies)



I just had a really bad fall

And this time it was harder to get up than before

I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared

I cried out "Can you help?", it replied "Not at all"



After the fall is over

You'll be on your own

After the fall is over



There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone

There'll be much to clean and time to atone

But while it's dark you can shelter here

In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear

Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again



A life's gotta have direction

After the deals are done

You gotta ask the question



Ask yourself why you go through it all

When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall

I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest

Seeking refuge from the storm, and I'm a grateful guest

And a profit cries out in high platitudes

I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"

And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"

Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue



Seems like I'm falling upwards

Into the great white blue

And all my imperfections



You can learn your lines and fabricate a show

But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go

We cheat and lie to conquer our fears

We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears

Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again



After the fall (after the fall is over)

There'll be a better day

After the fall is over



So I fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the pain

But the feeling will pass and so will the shame

The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall

When your reputation counts for nothing at all

Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again



I will greet you when the sun shines again

After the fall (after the fall is over)

There'll be a better day

After the fall is over

RAY CHARLES lyrics - It Should've Been Me

As I passed by

A real fine hotel

A chick walked out

She sure looked swell

I gave her the eye

And started to carry on

When a Cadillac cruised up

And 'swish' she was gone

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, Cadillac

A little later on

A theater I passed

I spotted another chick

And did she have class

I was all set

To write her name in my book

When her husband came up and gave me a

Real dirty look

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

To have been her chaperone

When I got to the corner

I saw a sharp cat

With a 300 dollar suit on

And a 100 dollar hat

He was standing on the sidewalk

By a DynaFlow

When a voice within said,

"C'mon daddy, let's go."

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, DynaFlow

I ate a bowl of chili

And I felt OK

At least until I passed

This fine Cafe

I saw a guy eatin'

A great big steak

While a waitress stood by feedin' him

Ice cream and cake

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

You know, it should've been me

Eatin' ice, cream and cake

It should've been me

Gettin' my natural kicks

It should've been me

Gettin' my natural kicks

Hey hey hey, hey, lovin' those, crazy chicks

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Caught Up The Reeperbahn

I was feeling blue, she made me feel guilty

When I took that trip to Deutscheland, Germany

She said I am a man, keep out of the Reeperbahn, mind you



Nick off is what I said, I'll please myself instead

& you can drop down dead, to Hamburg I am headed

I don't want no debates, now I'm off with me mates.

Toodle oo

I said stuff you!



[Chorus:]

Reeperbahn, the Reeperbahn, caught red handed...

Reeperbahn, the Reeperbahn, she said "Don't go there man"

Reeperbahn, the Reeperbahn, oh caught up the Reeperbahn



I told her to trust me, I agree in honesty

Believe me she did not, she knew I was a sex pot

I did not feel at ease when I left the strip-tease,

I screamed as she seized me!



Reeperbahn...[guitar bit]



It was just a laugh, I said don't be so strict

I did not tell her what went on up the red light district

You're all the same you men, you better say auf wiedersehen

Coz you won't be comin" here again!



Reeperbahn...



Caught up the Ree...

Perbahn.

SPARKS lyrics - How To Get Your Ass Kicked

Look askance

Just a glance

Just enough

To incite the wrath

Of her confidante

Strong though gaunt



And that's how to get your ass kicked

How to get your ass kicked



Never learn

To discern

Areas

Where you don't belong

So you venture out

Head in clouds



And that's how to get your ass kicked

How to get your ass kicked



I know, I know, I know, I know

Driving home,

Bikes in chrome

Cut you off

And you flip them off

And they take their turns

Many turns



And that's how to get your ass kicked

How to get your kicked



I know, I know, I know, I know

In the end

Then is when

You will pray

But you won't be answered

And then you'll go

End of show



And that's how to get your ass kicked

How to get your ass kicked



Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

CAROLE KING lyrics - Been To Canaan

Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime

Are running through my mind

Of a place I left behind



Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again



Though I'm content with myself

Sometimes I long to be somewhere else

I try to do what I can

But with our day-to-day demands

We all need a promised land



And it's been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again



Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime

With a fireplace burning to warm me

And you to hold me when it's stormy



Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

THE NEWBEATS lyrics - Bread And Butter

(Larry Parks & Jay Turnbow)



I like bread and butter,

I like toast and jam,

That's what my baby feeds me,

I'm her loving man.



He likes bread and butter,

He likes toast and jam,

That's what his baby feeds him,

He's her loving man.



She don't cook mashed potatoes,

She don't cook T-bone steaks,

Don't feed me peanut butter,

She knows that I can't take.



He likes bread and butter,

He likes toast and jam,

That's what his baby feeds him,

He's her loving man.



Got home early one morning,

Much to my surprise,

She was eating chicken and dumplings

With some other guy.



No more bread and butter,

No more toast and jam,

I found my baby eating

With some other man.

MEGADETH lyrics - Diadems

Sacriledge and blasphemy

Sets the stage today

The more insatiable the sex

The more swelled our tongues became

As pre-historic as it seems

This is now, today

As pre-historic as it seems

This is now



Talkin' 'bout no vision

Talkin' 'bout no dream

The Harlot puddles for her lies

From where she speaks



I look above and see

Entrails in the sky

This song ain't over 'til the

Fat lady dies



One man rules the earth

And rides the seven-headed beast

Ten diadems, to rule them all, to crown them all

The world, religion at his feet



Dreams are told of dreams of old

This day will surely come

So, run my child and hide your face

Once you've been marked it's finished, done



You'll become one

You're mine

You're one



I saw a new earth today

I saw a former pass away

I saw a new earth today

I saw a former pass away



Vengence is mine

Vengence is mine

The Netherworld and Sheol

Are never satisfied

So the eyes of Man are

Never sat-is-fied



I saw a new Earth today

I saw a former pass away

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Cold Black Night

It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down

Cold black night and the rain was fallin' down

I went out lookin' for my girl, I knew she wasn't nowhere around



She left me early that morning, with a suitcase in her hand

She left me early that morning, yes, with a suitcase in her hand

And she took off on a train this mornin' and she was meetin' some other man, yes



She used to treat me real good and I wonder why I didn't treat her right

Yes, ah, you know I wonder why I didn't treat her right

And now all I can do, is walk those streets both day and night

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Love Will Keep Us Alive

When I look at you

I can see the sadness in your eyes

In these desperate times

We get pushed and shoved from every side



I can't love you if you won't let me

Can't touch me if you don't try

I can feel you

I know that you're ready to take it to the other side



Love will keep us alive

Let's make the moment right

It's now or never

Love will keep us alive

Even the darkest night

Will shine forever

Love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive

Love, love will keep us alive



When you walk away

There's an empty feeling in my mind

As the days go by

We get caught up in our separate lives



If you need me

You know I'll come running

Right to you

Just give me a sign

I won't leave you

We'll make it together

And take it to the end of time



Love will keep us alive

Let's make the moment right

It's now or never

Love will keep us alive

Even the darkest night

Will shine forever

Love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive

Love, love will keep us alive



Oh, I've got a lot of loving to show you

You know I'd never want to control you

I only want to be by your side



I can't love you if you won't let me

Can't touch me if you don't try

I can feel you

I know that you're ready to take it to the other side



Love will keep us alive

Let's make the moment right

It's now or never

Love will keep us alive

Even the darkest night

Will shine forever

Love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive

Love, love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive

Alive

Love will keep us alive

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Come Tomorrow

(Barry Gibb, Ashley Gibb & Stephen Gibb)



[Barbra:]

Are you ready for the day

That we've prayed for

Already holding what is real

You know the soul finds its own evolution

And this is the only love I feel

Can I tell ya

I'm keeping up the strength

I've gotta try

'Cause you ain't getting past this heart of mine

I'm out here waiting for you

With all I've got to give

And I accept this life we live



[Both:]

I'll be your lover

And I'll be your friend

I'm gonna follow you

Right to the end



[Barbra:]

I wasn't made to tell you lies

I only came to make you realize



[Both:]

I'll be your hero

And I'll be your plan

You pick me up

And let me down



[Barbra:]

Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait

'Cause come tomorrow will be to late



[Both:]

Come tomorrow

Come tomorrow



[Barry:]

I got to turn away my face

'Cause you blind me with your light

Can you catch up to me

You know I love you in the black of night

This sacred bridge you walk

This journey has begun

We try, we try to carry on



Are you listening

You get to find the things in life

That get you through



[Barbra:]

One more day...



[Barry:]

And deep inside the things you want love never knew



[Barbra:]

One less chance...



[Barry:]

Let me make it happen

This world we have foreseen



[Barbra:]

Hmmm...



[Barry:]

And I will tell you how I feel



[Both:]

Love will be better for wearing your ring

I'm gonna give you everything



[Barry:]

I wasn't made to tell you lies

I only came to make you realize



[Both:]

I'll be your hero

And I'll be your plan

You pick me up

You let me down



[Barry:]

Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait



[Both:]

'Cause come tomorrow will be to late



Come tomorrow...

Come tomorrow...

Come tomorrow...

Oh! Come tomorrow...

Come tomorrow...

Come tomorrow...

Come tomorrow...

STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Slot Machine

Would the lady care to dance?

Oh, yes! I'd love to!



(Ooooo

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)



Gotta reach Atlantic City

I'm a winner every day

Blackjack holds no attraction

Just one game I play...



Get a grip on the handle of steel

Pull slowly, watch the wheels



When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine



It's too tough don't bank the anger

A black fever takes a hold on me

I play rough don't feel the danger

Won't give, baby nothing for free



I know the number I'm dreamin' of

Its just a symbol, a matter of luck



When you play with a slot machine

(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)

When you play with a slot machine

(Youre gonna tear it apart)



Stay cool hold yourself together

Keep praying that your lucks gonna turn

Don't be a fool, don't stay for ever

You know you're gonna get burned..



When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine

(Dontcha know you play with my heart?)

When you play with a slot machine

(Oh! No! No!)

When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine



Drat! I've torn my dress!

No! Really! Look...

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Wet Sand

My shadow side so amplified

Keeps coming back dissatisfied

Elementary son but it's so…



My love affair with everywhere

Was innocent why do you care

Someone start the car

Time to go…you’re the best I know



My sunny side has up and died

I'm betting that when we collide

The universe will shift into a low



The travesties that we have seen

Are treating me like Benzedrine

Automatic laughter from a pro



My what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to get to know you a little better baby

God knows that I'll really tried



My what a good day for a take out bride

I'd like to say we did it for the better of



I saw you there so unaware

Those hummingbirds all in your hair

Elementary son but it's so



The disrepair of Norma Jean

Could not compare to your routine

Balarama beauty going toe to toe



My what a good day just to let it slide

I'd like to say we did it for the better of



I thought about it and I brought it out

I'm motivated by the lack of doubt

I'm consecrated but I'm not devout

The mother, the father, the daughter



Right on the verge just one more dose

I'm traveling from coast to coast

My theory isn't perfect but it's close

I'm almost there why should I care

My heart is hurting when I share

Someone open up and let it show



My what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to think we did it for the better of



You don't form in the wet sand

You don't form at all

You don't form in the wet sand

I do Yeah



You don't form in the wet sand

You don't form at all

You don't form in the wet sand

I do

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - Tender Heart

Every night and every day my heart feels the pain

I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name

No one ever made me feel the way you do

Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you

But now I've got to let go



We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, my tender heart

Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again

With my tender heart.

We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad

Knowing that I'm not the one you want

I can't hold on to my tender heart



I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool

But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel

It's clear to me the writing is on the wall

It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all

And I can't go on this way



We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, my tender heart

Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again

With my tender heart.

We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad

Knowing that I'm not the one you want

I can't hold on to my tender heart



I'm standing at the door

Don't need this hurt no more

I'm crying out in vain

Cause you don't feel my pain.



Maybe it was always going to be this way

Maybe I'll look back and understand some day

But now I've got to say

We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, my tender heart

Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again

With my tender heart.

We don't stand a chance

In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad

Knowing that I'm not the one you want

I can't hold on to my tender heart

My tender heart

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Jammin' Me

(Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Mike Campbell)



You got me in a corner

You got me against the wall

I got nowhere to go

I got nowhere to fall



Take back your insurance

Baby nothin's guaranteed

Take back your acid rain

Let your T. V. bleed



(Chorus)

You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me,

Quit jammin' me

Baby you can keep me painted in a corner

You can walk away, but it's not over



Take back your angry slander

Take back your pension plan

Take bakc your ups and downs of your life

In raisin-land



Take back Vanessa Redgrave

Take back Joe Piscopo

Take back Eddie Murphy

Give 'em all some place to go



(Chorus)



Take back your iranian torture

And the apple in young Steve's eye

Yeah take back your losing streak

Check your front wheel drive



Take back Pasadena

Take back El Salvador

Take back that country club

They're tryin' to build outside my door

MINOR THREAT lyrics - Sob Story

Life's not been good to you

It's just not fair

You did nothing to deserve it

You did nothing at all

Sit back and watch

It turns from bad to worse

No matter how loud you cry

It always hurts



Boy I'm glad I'm not in your shoes



How could things

Get any worse for you?

You're so fucking alone

How could things

Get any worse for you?

I don't blame you when you piss and moan



Everybody gets

What you should've got

Everybody takes

Your opportunities

Everybody gets

The breaks that belonged to you

Everbody takes

Your just desserts



Life's not been good to you

It's just not fair

I've got some news for you

Nothing is fair

I wish their was a way

To make it all better

I pray for a way

To make you happy

'Cause I'm sick and I'm tired

Of your whining, complaining, pissing and moaning

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Earth Song

What about sunrise

What about rain

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain...

What about killing fields

Is there a time

What about all the things

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the blood we've shed before

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores?



Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah



What have we done to the world

Look what we've done

What about all the peace

That you pledge your only son...

What about flowering fields

Is there a time

What about all the dreams

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the children dead from war

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores



Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah



I used to dream

I used to glance beyond the stars

Now I don't know where we are

Although I know we've drifted far



Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah



Hey, what about yesterday

(What about us)

What about the seas

(What about us)

The heavens are falling down

(What about us)

I can't even breathe

(What about us)

What about the bleeding Earth

(What about us)

Can't we feel its wounds

(What about us)

What about nature's worth

(ooo, ooo)

It's our planet's womb

(What about us)

What about animals

(What about it)

We've turned kingdoms to dust

(What about us)

What about elephants

(What about us)

Have we lost their trust

(What about us)

What about crying whales

(What about us)

We're ravaging the seas

(What about us)

What about forest trails

(ooo, ooo)

Burnt despite our pleas

(What about us)

What about the holy land

(What about it)

Torn apart by creed

(What about us)

What about the common man

(What about us)

Can't we set him free

(What about us)

What about children dying

(What about us)

Can't you hear them cry

(What about us)

Where did we go wrong

(ooo, ooo)

Someone tell me why

(What about us)

What about babies

(What about it)

What about the days

(What about us)

What about all their joy

(What about us)

What about the man

(What about us)

What about the crying man

(What about us)

What about Abraham

(What was us)

What about death again

(ooo, ooo)

Do we give a damn



Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER lyrics - The Endless Enigma Part Two

(Emerson, Lake)



Each part was played

Though the play was not shown

Everyone came

But they all sat alone



The dawn opened the play

Waking the day

Causing a silent hooray

The dawn will break another day



Now that it's done

Are we going to see the reason why I'm here

B. B. KING lyrics - Drowning In The Sea Of Love

(Kenneth Gamble / Leon Huff)



I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love



I've been out here so very long

I done lost all my direction

Baby, when you came my way

Thought I had found my protection

But a strong wind came into my life

It surely took me by surprise

I can't seem to control these tears

That's falling from my eyes



I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love



Sea of love



Baby, I depended on you

For the love navigation

But now you've gone and deserted me

Can't you see that I'm in desperation

I'm in the middle of a bad love storm

And it's bad as it can be

I look around, all I can see

Is water coming down over me



I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love



Sea of love, sea of love



I've been down one time

And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love



Sea of love

But right now I'm just drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

A sea of love, sea of love

BONEY M lyrics - Lovin' Or Leavin'

It's nice to spend the time with you

I know you've got a lot to go for

I like the things you say and do

And yet what do I have to show for

Nice to pass away

Then another break of day



Lovin',

Lovin', lovin' or leavin'

I'm for lovin', lovin' or leavin'

Lovin', lovin' or leavin'

I said lovin', lovin' or leavin' yeah...

It's fun alright, but just the same

There's more to it then all that showed

All the things come to

I know it will, and so do you



Lovin',

Lovin', lovin' or leavin'

I said lovin', lovin' or leavin'

Lovin', lovin' or leavin'

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Spanish Johnny

(Paul Siebel)



Those other years, the dusty years

We drove the big hers through

I tried to forget the miles we rode

And Spanish Johnny too

He'd sit beside a water ditch when all this herd was in

And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin



The old talk, the old ways, and the dealin' of our game

But Spanish Johnny never spoke, but sing a song of Spain

And his talk with men was vicious talk

When he was drunk on gin

Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin



We had to stand, we tried to judge, we had to stop him then

For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men

He died a hard death long ago before the road come in

And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin



Well, we carried him out in the mornin' sun

A man that done no good

And we lowered him down in the cold clay

Stuck in a cross of wood

And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk

To tell them where he'd been

And we shipped it out to Mexico, along with his mandolin

STATUS QUO lyrics - Dirty Water

(Rossi/Young)



O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep

And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water

O-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh



Many's the time I've asked you to say

Why do you feel so bad day to day?

Could it be you're wrong to push yourself alone

I'd say it's not a guess, you make yourself a mess

And get yourself in deeper water



Why do you think it's all wrong for you?

Maybe it's in some things that you do

Baby, it's alright to stay out every night

If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line

To do the things you really oughtta



O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep

And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep

And I can't swim, because it's dirty, dirty water

Oh-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh



Why do you think it's all wrong for you?

Maybe it's in some things that you do

Baby, it's alright to stay out every night

If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line

To do the things you really oughtta

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep

And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in

O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep

And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep.....

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Just Your Fool

(Little Walter Jacobs)



I'm just your fool can't help myself

I love you baby and no one else

I ain't crazy you are my baby

I'm just your fool



I'm just your fool I must confess

To still love you baby and take your mess

I ain't lying no use in jivin'

I'm just your fool



You must be tryin' to drive me crazy

Treat me the way you do

I asked you please have mercy baby

Let me be happy too



If you're gonna leave me for someone new

Gonna buy me a shotgun and shoot it at you

I ain't lyin'... no use in jivin'

I'm just your fool



I'm just your fool can't help myself

I love you baby and no one else

I ain't crazy you are my baby

I'm just your fool

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Stiff Upper Lip

What made good queen Bess

Such a great success?

What made Wellington

Do what he did at Waterloo?



What makes every Englishman

A fighter through and through?

It isn't roast beef, or ale, or home, or mother

It's just a little thing they sing to one another



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

Carry on, old fluff

Chin up, keep muddling through



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

When the going's rough

Pip pip to old man trouble

And a toodly-oo too



Carry on through thick and thin

If you feel you're in the right

Does the fighting spirit win?

Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

When you're in the stew

Sober or blotto, this is your motto

Keep muddling through



[Instrumental bridge]



When a bounder starts to hiss

You must give him blow for blow

Make the blighter say, "What's this?

`ullo, `ullo, `ullo, `ullo, `ullo"



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

When you're in the stew

Sober or blotto, this is your motto

Keep muddling through



Keep muddling through

Keep muddling through

Keep muddling through

STATUS QUO lyrics - Dreamin'

(Rossi/Frost)



I heard you cry tonight while you were sleeping tight

What were you dreamin'?

Was it another guy and did he make you cry

While you were dreamin'?

I don't find it easy to say

But I think it's right that you have to know



Why won't you understand you're being underhand

About your dreamin'?

I love you more and more, of that you can be sure,

Even your dreamin'.

I don't mind if you just say

You dream of us both but I have to know

You've got to understand you're being underhand about your dreamin'



Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never long enough

Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never good enough

I wonder do, do, do you ever get to sleep at night?

Who, who, who is it gonna be tonight?



You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

I do believe it

You know you can be sure I want you more and more

Can you believe it?

I don't find it easy to say

But I think it's right that you have to know

You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

I do believe it

You are a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

Can you believe it?

You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

About your dreamin'

About your dreamin'

About your dreamin' ....

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Petals

I've often wondered if there's

Ever been a perfect family

I've always longed for undividedness

And sought stability



A flower taught me how to pray

But as I grew, that flower changed

She started flailing in the wind

Like golden petals scattering



And I miss you dandelion

And even love you

And I wish there was a way

For me to trust you

But it hurts me every time

I try to touch you



But I miss you dandelion

And even love you



I gravitated towards a patriarch

So young predictably

I was resigned to spend my life

With a maze of misery



A boy and a girl befriended me

We're bonded through despondency

I stayed so long but finally

I fled to save my sanity



And I miss you little sis and

Little brother

And I hope you realize

L'll always love you

And although you're struggling

You will recover

And I miss you little sis and

Little brother



So many I considered

Closest to me

Turned on a dime and sold me

Out dutifully

Although that knife was chipping

Away at me

They turned their eyes away and

Went home to sleep...



And I missed a lot of life

But l'II recover

Though I know you really like

To see me suffer

Still I wish that you and I'd

Forgive each other

'Cause I miss you, Valentine

And really loved you



I really loved you -

I tried so hard

But you drove me away

To preserve my sanity -



And I lound the strength to break away

Fly...

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - The Warning

Some say it was a warning

Some say it was a sign

I was standing right there

When it came down from the sky

They were expecting us

We felt it from inside

Said it was up to us

Up to us to decide



You've become a virus

That's eaten up its host

We've been watching you with all our eyes

And what you seem to value most

'I don't want your attention,' or so you used to say

Your greed, self-importance and your elegance

You piss it all way



May be a crime

We've come to intervene

You either change the way you've been doing things

Or we will wipe this place clean



Your time is tick-tick-ticking away

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - I Am A Wanderer

(Steve Earle)



I am a wanderer, feet on the ground,

Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds.

I own the star above some distant shore,

Wandering ever more.



I am a refugee torn from my land,

Cast off to travel this world to its end.

Never to see my proud mountains again

But I still remember them.



[Instrumental]



I am a labourer, sign round my neck:

"Will work for dignity, trust and respect".

Stand on this corner so you don't forget

I haven't had mine yet.



I am a prisoner pacing my cell,

Three steps and back, my corner of hell.

Lock me away and you swallow the key,

But some day I shall be free.



And I'll be a wanderer, feet on the ground,

Heart on my sleeve and my head in the clouds.

I own the star above some distant shore,

Wandering ever more.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright.

I can't believe your song is gone so soon.

I barely learned the tune

So soon

So soon.



I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright.

All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.

I never laughed so long

So long.

So long.



Architects may come and

Architects may go and

Never change your point of view.

When I run dry

I stop awhile and think of you.



Architects may come and

Architects may go and

Never change your point of view.



So long, Frank Lloyd Wright,

All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.

I never laughed so long

So long

So long.

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Woman At Home

Your Folk song singers all go around a singing

How bad are the men, how sinful are the women:

I got a woman at home with her door left open for me;

I got a woman at home with her gate wide open for mr.



These singers going round do the same old thing

Run all my women down on your slick-slidin' string

I got a woman at home with her screen left open for me

I got a woman at home with her blinds wide open for me.



You grizzly bear boys all of you fall high flyers

You're sixteen kids behind me in the passion fires

I got a woman at home with her door left open for me

I got a woman at home with her gate wide open for me.



I'm a high ballad man, I'm a folk singer too;

I sing about the good things men and women do;

I got a woman at home with her sheets left open for me;

I got a woman at home with her blanket wide open for me.



I was first born a-singin' in this big world,

Raised by the laborin' movements of a hundred pretty girls;

I got a woman at home with her arms left open for me.

I got a woman at home with her hands wide open for me.

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Just Can't Believe It

I know that it's supposed to be all over

And I know that I can take it if that's the way it has to be

But ya' see it's been so long we've been together

That I just can't believe it anyway



It's so hard to say goodbye to one who loves you

When you know that you might never meet again

And I know we both will cry and miss each other

That I just can't believe it anyway

No I just can't believe it anyway



Here we stand hand in hand not knowin' what to say



Now I open the door and as we go away

These tears in our eyes threaten to give us both away

And for once now our hearts are really showin'

Still I just can't believe it anyway

Now I just can't believe it anyway

ROGER HODGSON lyrics - Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)

Had a dream I was born

To be naked in the eye of the storm

And now it's standing right in front of me

What's it going to do to me, who knows,

Had a dream it was time

To be taken to the front of the line

Well that is not a place you wanna be

Sleeping with the enemy, you know



I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone.

But it's time - gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know now I have to make it alone



Had a dream it was war

And they couldn't tell me what it was for

But it was something they could lie about

Something we could die about, you know

Anytime, anyplace

When you look that man in the face

Well it is not a face you wanna see

Sleeping with the enemy, you know



Mary, can you hear me

Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean

Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen

I wish I could hold you

I wish I could hold you



Had a dream it was time

To be a witness at the scene of the crime

Well, That is something you can analyse

Something you can criticise, who knows

So we wait, hesitate

And we're making such a mistake

Oh whatever can the matter be

Sleeping with the enemy, you know



I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone

But it's time, gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know now I have to make it alone

AMY GRANT lyrics - Lucky One

(Amy Grant, Keith Thomas)



You're the kind

When you love you love with all your might and

You're the kind

I would dream about at night

Now I'm the lucky one

Baby I'm the lucky one



You're the kind

That I want to be with in the dark and

You're the kind who is capturing my heart

And I'm the lucky one

Baby I'm the lucky one



And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon

But I could never face another night or day without you

Baby I'm the lucky one



You're the kind

With poetry and valentines and

You're the kind

Who will never ever leave

And I'm the lucky one

The luckiest girl

Baby I'm the lucky one



And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon

But I could never face another night or day without you

I'm the lucky one

Baby I'm the lucky one..

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Sleep Come Free Me

Well, I've been lying in this dungeon since I was eighteen.

Ten lonely years of my life taken, I've been living in the pages of a magazine.

It breaks my heart to awaken.

Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.



Now the state of Alabama says I killed a man, the jury reached the same conclusion.

I remember I was there with a tire iron in my hand, the rest is all confusion.

Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.



More like an animal and less like a man, what they leave you ain't worth keeping.

Brother let me tell you, I got a clock with no hands, the only way out is through sleeping.

Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.



You get to where you used to be, whoever you claim, it's open to interpretation.

Just remember your number and abandon your name,

and hold on to your name and hold on to your imagination, oh no no.

Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.

CAT STEVENS lyrics - I'm So Sleepy

I'm so sleepy, yeah

I'm so sleepy, yeah

I could lay my head on a piece of lead

and imagine it was a springy bed

'cause I'm sleepy, sleepy



soon I'm gonna slip away

in the night I feel it creeping, creeping, creeping



I'm so sleepy yeah

I'm so sleepy yeah

I could lay my head on a piece of lead

and imagine it was a springy bed

'cause i'm sleepy, sleepy



I can't keep my mind away from my dreams,

I hear them calling, calling, calling

Soon I'm gonna slip away

Soon I'm gonna slip away

Soon I'm gonna slip away

in the night I'm gonna slip away

I wont fight it, I'll just ride it



I'm so sleepy yeah

I'm so sleepy yeah

I could lay my head on a piece of lead

and imagine it was a springy bed

'cause I'm sleepy, sleepy

yeah

LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Little Thing Called You

Woman lose my number

You can't get to me

My pockets ain't deep enough

Your eyes were seeing green

I caught you lyin', you're a cheat

Oh Lord shame on me

I loved you once

Tried you twice

But you've become bad company



Somebody call the rescue

'Cause I think I'm on the edge

Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer

You keep poundin' in my head

While you were on the phone lyin' to me

You were lyin' next to who

It ain't nothing to do about the heartache

It's just a little thing called you



All my friends did tell me

But I could not believe

Well you were doin' me wrong

When I was gone

How wicked can you be?



Yeah a black cat crosses many roads

Chills you to the bone

I might be hurt, but I won't cry

'Cause I'm a man that's not alone



Somebody call the rescue

'Cause I think I'm on the edge

Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer

You keep poundin' in my head

While you were on the phone lyin' to me

You were lyin' next to who

It ain't nothing to do about the heartache

It's just a little thing called you



Somebody call the rescue

'Cause I think I'm on the edge

Yeah you're just like a sledgehammer

Girl you're poundin' in my head

While you were on the phone lyin' to me

You were lyin' next to who

It ain't nothing to do about the heartache

Yeah it ain't nothing to do about the heartache

It's just a little thing called you

A LITTLE THING CALLED YOU!

A LITTLE THING CALLED YOU!

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Teach Me How To Love

[1st verse:]

[Girl:]

I had a diff'rent teacher ev'ry year

They taught me ev'rything and yet I fear

I don't know that much about Geography

Grammar, Arithmetic or History

But I know ev'rything about love from A to Z



[Refrain:]

[Girl:] Teach me how to love, I'd like to know, sir

[Boy:] If you want to love, come over closer

[Girl:] Do you know the game, dear?

[Boy:] That's my middle name, dear

[Girl:] Call me turtle dove, I'd like to hear it

[Boy:] It will fit you like a glove

AC/DC lyrics - Sink The Pink

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Johnson)



Put your gear into fire

Lay your bullets on the ground

Turn your head to desire

There's a woman going down

She said she'll rack you up, all the way

Then she gonna spit you out, count your days

She says choice is yours, casually

So why don't you do what comes naturally



Sink the pink, it's all the fashion

Drink the drink, it's old fashioned

Gimme water, gimme wine

Gonna show you, a good time

Sink the pink, sink the pink



Got a fever running high

Give you wings to make you fly

She school you like a fool

She make you break the rules

She wanna give you a shot, hit the spot

And I'm gonna rack em up, get it hot

She said, make it good, satisfy

You know that woman got Dallas eyes



Sink the pink, it's all the fashion

Drink the drink, it's old fashioned

Gimme water, gimme wine

Gonna show you, a good time

Sink the pink, sink the pink



Sink the pink, it's all the fashion

Drink the drink, it's old fashioned

Gimme water, gimme wine

Gonna show you, a good time

Sink the pink, sink the pink, sink the pink

Sink the pink

Sink the pink

THE POGUES lyrics - Hell's Ditch

(Shane MacGowan and Jem Finer)



Life's a bitch, then you die

Black Hell

Hell's ditch - naked howling freedom

The killer's hands are bound with chains

At six o'clock it starts to rain

He'll never see the dawn again

Our lady of the flowers



Genet's feeling Ramon's dick

The guy in the bunk above gets sick

In the cell next door the lunatic

Starts screaming for his mother



Black dildo, black hell,

As the Spanish cops ridiculed my gel

A mugshot I remember well

Little man how you have suffered



I could hear the screams from up above

If it ain't a fist it isn't love

As for our lady she kneels down

Her neck is bent, the blade comes down

Doing! There goes the breakfast bell

Back from heaven, back to hell

Naked howling freedom - Hell's Ditch

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Place In Line

I'm living in this line

I know my place, could think of no way



Of edging along in a loser's race

The line was moving slowly

Day by night

Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line



Nine long years I've been in line

Getting nowhere there is no reason

For this line I don't care.

Everybody's standing in the burning sun

Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line



Don't you think we're gonna make it

We've got a place in line

We're gonna make it some time

Somehow

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - The Light

(Kieran Kane/Emmylou Harris)



I see the light

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I see the light and it's burnin' bright

I see the light it's the light at the end that I run to

And the light, darlin' is you



In the lonely heart of darkness

I have stumbled and I have strayed

Always searchin' but never finding

A ray of sunlight to guide my way



I see the light

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I see the light and it's burnin' bright

I see the light it's the light at the end that I run to

And the light, darlin' is you



I have travelled down this highway

Of hope abandoned and broken dreams

An unbeliever my faith was shaken

By all the sorrow I had seen



I see the light

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I see the light and it's burnin' bright

I see the light it's the light at the end that I run to

And the light, darlin' is you

And the light, darlin' is you

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Going Through The Motions

(Ian Hunter & Eric Bloom)



[Chorus:]

In and out and out and in

And up and down and all around

We're going through it

Nothing to it

All you've got to do is do it

Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4

I go you go you go me go

Everywhere that we go we'll be

Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4

1,2



Going through the motions [2x]



I don't really care

Cause you're going nowhere

You've got nothing but fear in your eyes

You're leading me on

But you can be anyone

Cause I know you'll be gone when I rise



And we're going through the motions

Going through the motions [3x]



Staying with you

Gave us something to do

I always thought it was true for a while

Your loving your lies

You're so thinly disguised

You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried



And we're going through the motions

Going through the motions [3x]



To thee I'll dedicate this photograph

I'll even sign it love to you, again

And when it's faded and forgotten in some book

You'll sometimes look [3x]



It's a game it's a game

No let's call it a shame

Cause there's no one to blame

It's a pain

You were a friend for a day

So don't cry if I say

That you got what you want, it's Okay



Going through the motions [2x]



[Chorus]

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Who Killed Tangerine?

Whatcha gonna choose the poison or the lines

Lived with crazy pain in all your life

Something in your mind just tells you no

Hope in conversation starts to flow



Stuck inside a wheel, inside a wheel

Wondering everyday is it all for real

Blinking every time a cold wind blow

Our love don't fill a mile in rose



Danger remains



Watcha gonna do when the old man reads you dry

Step down from the plane and pluck the eye

Slide in deeper closer to the bone

Don't you just wish your heart was made of stone?



Waxing like an old crack 45

Counting out the ways you could stay alive

Placing all the banks and feel the stones

My love won't leave her ways of foam



And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over

And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over

And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over



Who killed tangerine?

The prettiest girl I've ever seen

Who killed tangerine?



Who killed tangerine?

The prettiest girl I've ever seen

Who killed tangerine?



And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over

And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over

And when you think it's all over

It's not over, it's not over
