TONY BANKS lyrics - By You

As I step inside the street sound,

A growl of thunder turns my head round,

I see one face in the crowd,

Like a beacon in the rain,

I see your sunshine calling to me.



As the people rush on by you,

I will move myself aside you,

Link arms like policemen in a chain,

Keep ourselves inside the line,

I need you now like it needed to rain.



As the puddles form around us,

And the thunder noise surrounds us,

Now I can laugh amid the storm,

Like a child in the warm,

I feel your sunlight shining on me,

All around me, inside me.



Then high in the sky, a star appears to be winking,

A branch caught by the wind, its leaves beckon to me.

Stone still at my feet, its grey matches my thinking,

Well water so deep, its song calling me down, down, down...



Now in the street I stand deserted,

With the cold and wet returning,

I turn, rejoining the crowd,

Like a leave caught in the stream,

I need you now like it needed to rain.



I will meet you where the winds blow,

The thunder rolls to and the streams flow,

I will see your face in the crowd,

Like a beacon in the rain,

And see your sunshine calling to me.



I will meet you where the winds blow...

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Keep On Dancing

Baby, baby listen to me

There is something you have to see

We'll show you

What you got to do

You just follow our next move



(Keep on dancing)

Let me music take your mind

(Keep on dancing)

Have a real real good time

(Keep on dancing)

Why don't you

Get up on the floor

(Keep on dancing)

Till you can't dance no more



(Keep on dancing)

Keep on dancing

(Dancing)

Dancing, yeah

Get up on the floor



Dancing, girl, will make you happy

And happy is what you want to be

Dancing fast

Just spinning around

Dancing slow

When you get down



(Keep on dancing)

Let me music take your mind

(Keep on dancing)

And have a real real good time

(Keep on dancing)

Why don't you

Get up on the floor

(Keep on dancing)

Till you can't dance no more



(Keep on dancing)

Keep on dancing

(Dancing)

Dancing, yeah, yeah



(Music is a feeling)

(That you just can't resist)

(When you're dancing to the music)

Dancing to the music

(Time just don't exist)



Get on up

Get on up

(Keep on dancing)

Take the worries off your mind

(Keep on dancing)

Have a good, good, good time

(Keep on dancing)

'Cause there's nothing else to do

(Keep on dancing)

It makes you feel good too



(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)

(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Lonely Sky

The cold north wind they call "La Bise"

Is swirling round about my knees,

Trees are crying leaves into the river;



I'm huddled in this french cafe

I never thought I'd see the day,

But winter's here and summer's really over, Even the birds have packed up and gone,

They're flying south with their song,

And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly, Take care, it's such a lonely sky,

They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,

They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...



The old cathedral lights are low

She and I we'd often go there

To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;



Lords and ladies lie in stone,

Hand in hand from long ago,

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever, Even the choir rehearses those songs

For Christmas is not long,

And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly, Out there it's such a lonely sky,

They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,

They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,

Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,

Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

I'll come in with the dawn,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,

On the wings of the morn,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,

Above the world we'll be flying,

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...



And though their hands are cold they'll love forever.

SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Trust Me

Trust me, all you got to do is trust me

All you gotta know is everywhere I go

Everything I do, I do it just for you

So trust me, trust me

Cause I need you more

Then I ever needed you before



Hey my friend

I don't know where you are

But I'll be there

I'll help you find your star

There's not a face

Can take your place by far

So hey my friend

I'm always where you are

Hey my friend

You know I like your style

So I think I'll hang around for awhile

And I don't mean just a year or two

So I'll just spend my life, friend, loving you



There are a million things I'd like to be

Like sailing a ship across a stormy sea

A captain so brave

He's feared by all his crew

That's what I'll be

How about you



I like to ride upon a merry-go-round

And be all dressed up

Just like a circus clown

I'd hold up a hula-hoop

And you'd jump through

That's what I'll be

How about you



There are a million things I'd like to be

Like sailing a ship across a stormy sea

A captain so brave

He's feared by all his crew

That's what I'll be

How about you

ACCEPT lyrics - T. V. War

T. V. war is part of life

Entertaining and far, far away

What a story and how they fight

Let's gamble and guess who will win



Danger is nowhere

We still got the chance to switch off

Remote control and the guarantee

It's somewhere else



T. V. war - T. V. war

Bloodless but deadly and cruel

T. V. war - T. V. war



We are eating, while we're watching

People die on the screen

Toasted and roasted and scrambled and fried

We are greedy and pay



Information - in between

Missiles are in the air

You can hear them and see

They're already here



T. V. war - T. V. war

Bloodless but deadly and cruel

T. V. war - T. V. war



Oh, yeah!



According to informed sources

Of the defence ministry:

There is now confirmation

That enemy missiles have penetrated our airspace

Impact is estimated in a matter of minutes

Good evening!



T. V. war - T. V. war

Bloodless but deadly and cruel

T. V. war - T. V. war

Bloodless but deadly and cruel

T. V. war - T. V. war

NAZARETH lyrics - Love Hurts

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds

And mars, any heart

Not tough or stong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud

Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts



I'm young, I know, but even so

I know a thing or two

And I learned from you

I really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Love is like a flame

It burns you when it's hot

Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts



Some fools think of happiness

Blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess

They're not foolin' me



(1) I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie

Made to make you blue

Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts

ooh, ooh love hurts



[lead:]



[repeat (1)]

TEENA MARIE lyrics - High Yellow Girl

Everybody says that you're so beautiful

From the inside to the out

My precious jewel

I hope that I can give you all the love you need

I'd lay down my life for ya baby, yes indeed



High Yellow girl

Golden lady fair, with hair, like lamb's wool

High yellow child

So familiar to me, like the river Nile



I lie awake at night sometimes my eyes get full

How did I deserve such love from an angel

Oh, the lovely simple thangs, your soul rushing

The sun rises and sets on ya baby, blessed be



High yellow girl

Skin like clover honey, eyes like mother's soul

High yellow child

One half dark like daddy, one half mama bright



So familiar to me (you look like me)

Your smile, it reminds me of every aromatic saffron

High yellow child, Yellow child high



Patiently, I waited, for so long, I prayed

And my sweet Jesus sent me you on Christmas day

Last night I picked up my guitar, chile I'm feelin you

What can I give to my daughter, hey y'all, tell the truth



High yellow girl

Golden lady fair, with hair like lamb's wool

High yellow child

So familiar through me, like the river Nile



So familiar to me, your smile

It reminds me of aromatic saffron

High yellow child, Yellow child high

They call here Mello Yellow

Cuz her skin is caramel

They call her Mellow Yellow

Cuz her skin is caramel

High Yellow child



[Alia:] I got a little sister named brown sugar

[Teena:] ?

My babies don't have to cry, I lay down my life

[Alia:] I love you Mommy

[Teena:] Love you too baby

[Alia:] High yellow cinnamon, red boned, chocolate

Ebony, brown sugar

High yellow cinnamon, red boned, chocolate, Ebony, brown sugar, sugar, sugar....

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Merry Christmas Baby

Merry christmas baby

Babe you sure did treat me nice

Yeah! merry merry merry christmas baby

Babe you sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for christmas

And now I'm living in paradise



Oh! I'm feeling mighty fine this morning

I've got good music on my radio

Hey baby, I'm feeling mighty fine

I would love to hug and kiss you baby

While you're standing beneath the mistletoe



Santa came down the chimney

He got all of these presents that you'll use

See, I'll help you put on these



Merry merry merry christmas baby

Oh! you sure been good to me

But I'm all lit up like a christmas tree



Hey! merry merry merry christmas baby

I would love to hug and kiss you baby

While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - What Makes A Man Hold On

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)



What makes a man

Believe in a brighter day

When his whole world is fallin' apart

All promise is fading away

What does it take,

To turn his heart to stone

When he's got more than his share of riches

More than one life can hold



Sometimes it takes

More than we've got it seems

Something so close, so near

Even a blind man sees



If it takes a hand strong and mighty

To spin this world around

It takes the power of a woman's sweet love

To make a man hold on



What makes a man

Hang his hope on someone

To bring the light out of darkness

Makes him believe a change is gonna come



Something inside that just won't let go

Something so simple, so sweet,

Even a fool would know



If it takes a hand strong and mighty

To spin this world around

It takes the power of a woman's sweet love



To bring joy out of pain

To let sunshine through rain

To bring hope back to the heart

To bring together what's fallin' apart



She's got the kind of kisses

To make a weak man strong

She's got the kind of love

To make a good man go wrong

She's got what it takes

She's got the power to make a man hold on

K. D. LANG lyrics - Lock, Stock And Teardrops

(Roger Miller)



Someday I won't come runnin'

When you call

The way you hurt me

It's a wonder I'm still here at all



Someday you'll wake up

And you'll find yourself alone

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone



I can't go on

The way you make me feel

You make me cry

And every time expect me to forgive



Someday you'll wake up

To a cold and lonely dawn

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone



Oh someday I'll wake up

And find the strength to carry on

And lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone



Lock, stock and teardrops

Lock, stock and teardrops

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Wheels

(Chris Hillman/Gram Parsons)



We've all got wheels to take ourselves away

We've got telephones to say what we can't say

We all got higher and higher every day



Come on wheels take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride

We're not afraid to die come on wheels take me home today

So come on wheels take this boy away



Now when I feel my time is almost up

And destiny is in my right hand

I'll turn to him who made my faith so strong

Come on wheels make this boy a man

STING lyrics - Don't Stand So Close To Me

Young teacher, the subject

Of schoolgirl fantasy

She wants him so badly

Knows what she wants to be

Inside her there's longing

This girl's an open page

Book marking - she's so close now

This girl is half his age



Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me



Her friends are so jealous

You know how bad girls get

Sometimes it's not so easy

To be the teacher's pet

Temptation, frustration

So bad it makes him cry

Wet bus stop, she's waiting

His car is warm and dry



Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me



Loose talk in the classroom

To hurt they try and try

Strong words in the staffroom

The accusations fly

It's no use, he sees her

He starts to shake and cough

Just like the old man in

That book by Nabakov



Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me



Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

THE MONKEES lyrics - Looking For The Good Times

Looking for the good times, baby

Gonna have my fun

Looking for the good times, baby

Girl you can come along with me

Wow, you're gonna see

Just how fine this big old world can be



Looking for the good times, baby

Gonna have a ball

Lookiong for the good times, baby

You can share it all



There's more to life than you've been living, girl

You can share it all

There's things to do that you ain't thought of yet

You can share it all

So let me be the one to do the giving, girl

You can share it all

You'll find the things you thought you couldn't get



Looking for the good times, baby

Gonna have my fun

Looking for the good times, baby

Girl you can come along with me - with me



Looking for the good times, baby

Gonna have a ball

Looking for the good times, baby,

Girl you can share it all...

CHRIS REA lyrics - Good Morning

Good morning. Good morning



I feel so good, I feel so good today

Do you know, I feel so good,

So good today

I won't let nothing get in my way



Good morning. Good morning

PANTERA lyrics - Suicide Note Pt. II

Out of my mind,

Gun up to the mouth

No pretension, execution, live and learn, rape and turn

Fret not family,

Nor pre-judged army

This is for me,

And me only, cowards only

Try it



[Chorus:]

Don't you try to die, like me

It's livid and it's lies and makes graves

Graves descending down



It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a rotting life

I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off, fuck you all

Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me

For weakness is a magnet - watch me do it



[Chorus]



Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it,

Doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice

When a mind's made up to go ahead and die?

What's done is done and gone, so why cry?



[Chorus]

DAVID FOSTER lyrics - I Have Nothing

(David Foster - Linda Thompson)



Share my life, take me for what I am

Cause I'll never change all my colours for you

Take my love, I'll never ask for too much

Just all that you are and everything that you do



I don't really need to look very much further

I don't want to have to go where you don't follow

I won't hold it back again, this passion inside

Can't run from myself

There's nowhere to hide

(Your love I'll remember forever)



[Chorus:]

Don't make me close one more door

I don't wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me...

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I don't have you, you, you, you.



You see through, right to the heart of me

You break down my walls with the strength of you love

I never knew love like I've known it with you

Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to



[Chorus]

SAXON lyrics - Piss Off

How come every time you feel real good

Somebody drops you a piss off bomb

How come every time you roll the dice

Somebody offers you the wrong advise

Oh no not again, just when I'm feeling happy

Oh no not again, just when you're feeling fine



Take it slow, don't go fast

Looking good never lasts

Different day same old song

Then somebody drops you a piss off bomb



In and out, round about, try to sort your feelings out

Can you see the full moon rising

Break the spell, ring the bell, trapped inside your private hell

Can't you see the far horizon

Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling happy

Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine



Take it slow, don't go fast

Looking good never lasts

Different day same old song

Then somebody drops you a piss off bomb



How come every time you feel real good

Somebody drops you a piss off bomb

How come every time you roll the dice

Somebody offers you the wrong advise

Round, round, turn you round, just when you're feeling happy

Down, down, drag you down, just when you're feeling fine



Take it slow, don't go fast

Looking good never lasts

Different day same old song

Then somebody drops you a piss off bomb

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - It Won't Take Long

And it won't take long to forget you

Time it passes fast

Maybe all be over in a minute

You'll be in the past

You can lose a love of a life time

In a cinereous



You can gaine a fortune

Hand it

Instead

Or you can lose your soul



And it won't take long to forget you

You know

I'll never owner

And then all be over in a minute

And it won't take long



And it won't take long

To forgive you

But it's hard to forget

'cause it seems like as yesterday

The day that we first met



When you've gimme your smoulder ok

Put at your cigarette

When I saw you come salter

And oh wow

You wore a pale good dress



And it won't take long to forget you

You know

I'll never owner

And then all be over in a minute

And it won't take long



Life is short

One look and is over

'cause is quite shock

All I've got is some memories

Stack in a juke box



And it won't take long to forget you

You know

I'll never owner

And then all be over

Rock we's must

No it won't take long



And it won't take long

And it won't take long...

QUEEN lyrics - Drowse (Ending)

(Taylor)



Think I'll have my eggs poached for breakfast again I'd like to be Clint Eastwood

Jimi Hendrix, he was greatlet's try William The Conqueror Now who else do I like?



What most of the QMS agrees on for the spoken end of the song "Drowse" on the _A Day At The Races_

album:



Have my eggs eggs poached for breakfast I guess



Nothing wrong with [I think I'll be] Clint Eastwood.. Jimi Hendrix, he was good.

[don't know]

Now who else do I like?

[something very very very faint].

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Flying

I was playing a club by the Eiffel Tower.

Taking a break for half an hour.

A girl from the bar came out to talk.

"Come on" she said "Let's take a walk".



Monday was the day we met.

Tuesday I was flying.

Wednesday she was far away.

Friday caught me crying.



If I ever see that girl again

I'm gonna tell her that I love her.

If I ever see that girl again

there'll never be another.

I know..

Monday was the day we met.

Tuesday I was flying.

Flying....flying......



We talked and we talked and we layed on the bed.

and I can remember every word she said.

Never met a girl like that before.

Everyday I miss her more.



Monday was the day we met.

Tuesday I was flying.



And If I ever see that girl again

I'm gonna tell her that I love her.

If I ever see that girl again

there'll never be another.

I know..

Monday was the day we met.

Friday caught me crying.



When I find that girl again.

I know we'll be flying..

Flying....flying......



I think about you all the time.

Oh I wanna make you mine.

Just can't seem to let you go.

'cause every day I want you more.

Flying...

I think about you all the time.

Oh you got me flyin

JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - Look Over Yonder

Look over yonder here come the blues

The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools

I can see 'em comin'

Wearing a blue armoured coat

You're sittin' here with your violins

Hittin' wrong notes

Look over yonder, he's comin' my way

When he's around, I never have a happy day

(you even bust my guitar strings)



Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc.



Look over yonder

Well, he's talkin' to my baby

They found my peace pipe on her

Now they're draggin' her away

Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around

Well, he's knockin' on my door

How my house is tumblin' down



Now don't you come no closer

The path is keepin' me bolder

Wait by my door baby

Unless you want to start another war

Look over yonder, hey

Look over yonder

Look over yonder

Look over yonder

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - I Feel Loved

It's the dark night of my soul

And temptation's taking hold

But through the pain and the suffering

Through the heartache and trembling



I feel loved

I feel loved



As the darkness closes in

In my head I hear whispering

Questioning and beckoning

But I'm not taken in



I feel loved

I feel loved



From the depths of my emptiness

Comes a feeling of inner bliss

I feel wanted, I feel desired

I can feel my soul on fire



I feel loved

I feel loved

NAZARETH lyrics - Jet Lag

I'm goin' back to New York city

Times square sure will be shinin' bright

I know it sure looks pretty

But I don't go down every night.



I'm gonna take in Memphis

You know the one down in Tennessee

And if you wanna boogie

Now that's the place to be.



Sittin' in a bar in Macon

Drinkin' something called Rebel Yells

When I thought I heard someone ringing

I guess she's a southern bell.



We just cut out of El Paso

It just fries there in that desert sun

And if you've ever been down there man

Then you know why we run.



I got jet lag

And livin' out an overnight bag

Time changes every day

They do things a different way

Back in the U. S.A.



Tryin' hard to make a phone call

"Long distance over seas"

"Yes ma'am I did say Scotland"

"Could you spell that again for me please"



You know that it just blew my mind

I'd love to go back there next trip

I sure hope we get some time.



Driving down a Detroit freeway

Just lookin' at those concrete walls

Hey but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in

"What do you mean the police closed the god damned hall?"



Flyin' home tomorrow

To be there's gonna be just great

And after some time with my lady

I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the States.

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - I'm A Man

I'm a man

And I just want to live like one

Why must I fight for what I've won

I'm weary

And it's more than I can stand

I'm a man



I wanna hold my head up high

I'm flesh and blood and I got pride

Can't they see it?

Will they ever understand

I'm a man



How do I hide the tears in my eyes

when I go to tell my son

The things he's heard

Are no more than lies

He's as good as anyone

I'm a man



And soon the day is gonna come

When I'll be free to live like one

Then I'll stand tall

And be seen for what I am

I'm a man

I'm a man

I'm a man

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - My Eyes Adored You

(Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan)



[Originally by The Four Seasons]



[Chorus:]

My eyes adored ya

Though I never laid a hand on you

My eyes adored ya

Like a million miles away from me

You couldn't see how I adored ya

So close, so close and yet so far



Carried your books from school

Playin' "make-believe you're married to me"

You were fifth-grade, I was sixth

When we came to be

Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay

Till we grew into the me and you

Went our separate ways



[Chorus]



Headed for city lights

Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame

I worked my fingers to the bone

Made myself a name

Funny I seemed to find

That no matter how the years unwind

Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss

And the love I left behind



[Chorus]



(My eyes adored ya)

All my life I will remember

(Though I never laid a hand on you)

How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby

(Like a million miles away from me

You couldn't see how I adored ya)

Oh, the feeling, sad regrets

(So close, so close and yet so far)

I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend



(My eyes adored ya)

(Though I never laid a hand on you)

(My eyes adored ya)

(Like a million miles away from me

You couldn't see how I adored ya)



[Fade]

So close, so close and yet so far

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie

So when you tell lies

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Desert Drive

Hop in, honey, sit right by my side

I'm gonna take you on a little ride

A desert drive... out where the cactus grow

A desert drive... hey don't you wanna go?

Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive



Throw on your sneakers, T-shirt and jeans

Better take your shades in case the rays get mean

A desert drive... we're gonna have some fun

A desert drive... out where the coyotes run

Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive



Gotta get crankin' now, gotta get movin' now

Fasten your belt I'm takin' good care of you



(C'mon) Let's get outta town

(C'mon) Before the sun goes down

We'll take the 5 to the 109

We're gonna leave all our troubles behind



Stopped in at Needles for a Mexican bite

Twentynine Palms is where we're stayin' tonight

A desert drive... we're gonna get some thrills

A desert drive... out in the purple hills

Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive



Gotta get crankin' now, gotta get movin' now

Fasten your belt I'm takin' good care of you



(C'mon) Let's get outta town

(C'mon) Before the sun goes down

We'll take the 5 to the 109

We're gonna leave all our troubles behind



Destination Caesar's gonna catch Wayne's show

Next stop the Nugget and we'll blow some dough

A desert drive... the hottest spot in the world

A desert drive... won't see no surfer girls



Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive

Gotta get groovin' now, goin' on a desert drive

Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Loving Cup

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.

I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.

Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start.

Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar.

Give me little drink from your loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.

I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.

Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight

You if you want to push and pull with me all night.

Give me little drink from you loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

I feel so humble with you tonight,

Just sitting in front of the fire.

See your face dancing in the flame,

Feel your mouth kissing me again,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,

But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.

Give me little drink from you loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

CROSBY & NASH lyrics - Out Of The Darkness

(Craig Doerge, Graham Nash and David Crosby)



Here in the dark the dusty light is fading

The lonely night of waiting

Is passing the point and missing the mark

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Here in the shade the leaves of change are falling down

Slowly trying to reach the ground

To touch the earth and turn around

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Out of the darkness

Suddenly my body can take a breath

I'm coming out of the darkness

Finally my soul can take a rest

Here in th elight a lazy mist is lifting

And the sands of time are slowly shifting

Into the glass with the hours that pass

Be the light or love will fade away

Be the light or love will fade away

Out of the darkness

Suddenly my body can take a breath

I'm coming out of the darkness

Finally my soul can take a rest

THE CURE lyrics - Play For Today

It's not a case of doing what's right

It's just the way I feel that matters

Tell me I'm wrong

I don't really care



It's not a case of share and share alike

I take what I require

I don't understand...

You say it's not fair



You expect me to act

Like a lover

Consider my moves

And deserve the reward

To hold you in my arms

And wait...

For something to happen



It's not a case of telling the truth

Some lines just fit the situation

You call me a liar

You would anyway



It's not a case of aiming to please

You know you're always crying

It's just your part

In the play for today

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Delayed Reaction

(Music: Hall; Lyrics: Hall/Oates/S. Allen)



You strike a low blow

You fight a dirty fight

Right to the heart you're putting me away

Time was movin' slow

But I was in control

There were so many things I should've said

But couldn't think of one word

(Delayed reaction) oh yeah

At first I was ashamed

Then I was inflamed

I wanted to hurt you

Say that (delayed reaction) oh no

At first I was alright

And then I had to fight

I wanted to hurt you

I wanted to hurt you so



It was a backlash

No I couldn't let it pass

I was so mad I couldn't keep it down

I made it real tough

Ooh I had to blow you off

I couldn't stand it having you around

I couldn't stand the sound, no

(Delayed reaction) oh yeah

At first I was ashamed

And then I was inflamed

I wanted to hurt you

Say that (delayed reaction) oh no

At first I was alright

And then I had to fight with you

I wanted to hurt you

I wanted to hurt you so

But if the rage is right

Then you better be wrong

'Cause if I force a fight well then I'm twice a fool

Ooh, I could've listened more

Was that what you were waiting for?

I can't imagine why

I can't imagine why

I can't imagine why you'd wanna let it go

I didn't wanna blow but

(Delayed reaction) oh yeah

At first I was ashamed

And then I was inflamed

I wanted to hurt you

Say that delayed reaction oh no

At first I was alright

And then I had to fight with you

I wanted to hurt you so

(Delayed reaction) oh yeah

Ooh I had to fight, fight, fight you

(Delayed reaction oh no)

Just had to let the love blow to fight a dirty fight

9Delayed reaction oh yeah)

What good is saying I lost my head I didn't mean it girl

(Delayed reaction) oh no

Ooh baby, ooh baby

I can't imagine why you want to let it go

(Delayed reaction)

Ooh, yeah the boys are fine and I'm twice the fool

(Delayed reaction) oh no

I can't imagine why, I can't imagine why

CELINE DION lyrics - L'amour Existe Encore

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps

Alors je n'ai plus de doute

L'amour existe encore



When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

Toutes mes annees de deroute

Toutes, je les donnerais toutes

Pour m'ancrer a ton port



All my years of confusion

All, I would give them all

To anchor myself to your port

La solitude que je redoute

Qui me guette au bout de ma route

Je la mettrai dehors



The solitude I fear

Which is watching me at the end of my route

I will kick it out

Pour t'aimer une fois pour toutes

Pour t'aimer coute que coute

Malgre ce mal qui court

Et met l'amour a mort



To love you once for all

To love you at any price

Despite that sickness that runs

And kills the love

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps

Alors je n'ai plus de doute

L'amour existe encore



When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

L'amour existe encore, , ,



Love still exists

On n'etait pas du meme bord

Mais au bout du compte on s'en fout

D'avoir raison ou d'avoir tort



We were not on the same side

But after all we don't care

If we're right or wrong

Les monde est mene par des fous

Mon amour il n'en tient qu'a nous

De nous aimer plus fort



The world is leaded by insanes

My love it depends only on us

To love ourselves harder

Au-dela de la violence

Au-dela de la demence

Malgre les bombes qui tombent

Aux quatre coins du monde



Beyond violence

Beyond madness

Despite the bombs falling

Everywhere around the world

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps

Alors je n'ai plus de doute

L'amour existe encore

L'amour existe encore

L'amour existe encore, , ,



When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

Love still exists

Love still exists, , ,

Pour t'aimer une fois pour toutes

Pour t'aimer coute que coute

Malgre ce mal qui court

Et met l'amour a mort



To love you once for all

To love you at any price

Despite that sickness that runs

And kills the love

Quand je m'endors contre ton corps

Alors je n'ai plus de doute

L'amour existe encore



When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

VINCE NEIL lyrics - The Bitch Is Back

(Elton John, Bernie Taupin)



[Originally by Elton John (1974)]



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

SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - Go Tell It On The Mountain

(Traditional)



Hallelujah!

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

Jesus Christ is born



Down the lonely manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent salvation

That blessed Christmas morn



(repeat chorus)



While shepherds kept their watch

O'er silent flocks by night

Behold throughout the heavens

There shown a holy light



(repeat chorus and 1st verse)



(repeat chorus)

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Sugar Marie

Well I'm all gassed up

The Car is waitin' outside

I got three more hours on this loser's job

And then I'll be ready to ride

I got this cowboy comin' with me

This guy's name is Jeffrey Jack

He can shoot the eyes out of a pool ball

He can get the young girls into the sack

We'll go down to the dance hall

Locals will be kickin' up their heels

They'll be drinkin' tequila sunrises

Until the morning light fills up the window sills



[Chorus:]

And then I'll be with Sugar Marie

She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me

Come on and dance with me Sugar Marie

She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave

She works down at the truck stop

Where she polishes the spoons

She gets colas and burgers for the boys

On those hot summer afternoons

She's got this girlfriend named Linda

Linda's got a tattoo that says Christ

Well she ain't half bad to talk to

And I reckon she looks pretty nice

We'll drive down to the dance hall

Sittin' there waitin' on me

Jesus, you know it feels pretty good

And sometimes I need some good ole company



[Chorus]



She don't ask any questions

And she don't flirt with the other boys

She belongs to me Sugar Marie



I never thought I needed no one

I can make a big enough mess myself

Oh, but when I finally found someone

She made me respect myself

Dance for me Sugar Marie



[Chorus]



Hey girl I wish we could tear the heart

Out of this old town tonight

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Beastie

From early days of infancy, through trembling years

of youth, long murky middle-age and final hours

long in the tooth, he is the hundred names of terror ---

creature you love the least. Picture his name before

you and exorcise the beast.



He roved up and down through history --- spectre

with tales to tell. In the darkness when the

campfire's dead --- to each his private hell. If you look

behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast, you

can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast.



Beastie



If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at

bay. You can pop those pills and visit some

psychiatrist who'll say --- There's nothing I can do

for you, everywhere's a danger zone. I'd love to help

get rid of it, but I've got one of my own.



There's a beast upon my shoulder and a fiend upon

my back. Feel his burning breath a heaving, smoke

oozing from his stack. And he moves beneath the

covers or he lies below the bed. He's the beast upon

your shoulder. He's the price upon your head. He's

the lonely fear of dying, and for some, of living too.

He's your private nightmare pricking. He'd just love

to turn the screw. So stand as one defiant --- yes, and

let your voices swell. Stare that beastie in the face

and really give him hell.

JOHN HIATT lyrics - Sometime Other Than Now

Maybe your mama didn't treat you right,

Maybe her intentions weren't even very good

Maybe my daddy lay awake at night

Imagining himself in some other neighborhood



Left to our own devices

Like maybe they were too

Out on the open road

And wonderin' what to do



[Chorus:]

You ask how we got here baby don't ask how

That was sometime other than now



It takes what it takes, that's what they told us girl

We've done a lot of dumb things, we'll probably do some more

On two different paths, runnin' 'round in different worlds

We finally found each other, who we were lookin' for

Now I see my own reflection

When I give my love to you

And it's shot back like an arrow

So straight and true



[Chorus]



I'm not leavin' baby

The future's comin' right here and now

And maybe tomorrow we can't take it

I'm not grievin' baby anymore

The past is gone

And we can't fake it, so baby let's make it

With this love of ours somehow



A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way

It's followed us around since we were little kids

With just a little faith, well maybe baby someday

We will find the strength, the strength to forgive



It don't come all of a sudden

But when it comes at last

You could blink your eyes and miss it

It happens so fast



[Chorus]

CAROLE KING lyrics - Blossom

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.

Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.



Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,

I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.



Blossom, there's any empty road behind, sit you down beside me.

Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind, there's a song inside me, take these chains away.



Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,

I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.



Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.

Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.

La la la la la la la...

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Them Changes

(Sam Myers)



I would rather see you

Sleeping in the ground,

I would rather see you

Sleeping in the ground

Than to stay around here

If you're gonna put me down.



Well, I give you all my money,

Everything I own.

Well, I give you all my money,

Everything I own.

Well, some day I'm gonna get lucky,

And down the road you know I'm goin'.



Well, I would rather see you

Sleeping in the ground,

Well, I would rather see you

Sleeping in the ground

Than to stay around here

If you're gonna put me down.



You know I give you all my money,

Yeah little girl, everything I own.

Well, I give you all my money,

Everything I own.

Well, today I'm gonna get lucky,

And down the road you know I'm goin'.

THE GO-GO'S lyrics - Beautiful

(Schock/Caffey)



My life is ever so perfect

My life has been a bed of roses

And you might think I'm crazy

So what if I am

My head is full of good things

Enough for everyone



Beautiful

Is all I see when I look at me

Beautiful

Every mother's dream

Day by day

Things just keep getting prettier (so pretty)

Beautiful

What a wonderful life



My life is really quite simple

My life is just what I make it

I think you think I'm seeing

Only things I want to see

The truth is that I'm being

Who I wanna be



Beautiful

Is all I see when I look at me

Beautiful

Every mother's dream

Day by day

Things just keep getting prettier (so pretty)

Beautiful

What a wonderful

A wonderful

A wonderful life



Let me have my own world

Come in live in my world

Let me have my own world

Come in live in my world

Beautiful

Is all I see when I look at me

Beautiful

Every monther's dream

Day by day

Things just keep getting prettier (so pretty)

Beautiful

What a wonderful life

Beautiful

Things keep getting prettier

Beautiful

Things keep getting prettier (so pretty)

Beautiful



Beautiful

TOMMY BOLIN lyrics - Sweet Burgundy

Winter time comes just a little too fast,

Summer just flies by on it's patient wings.

I'm just a fool for yesterdays,

I've seen too many things in so many ways.

At night I just sit in my room by the fire,

Lookin' out my misty window on the street below.

Too many people lookin' lost and forlorn,

Vagabonds without homes and no where else to go.



Pour me another glass of that sweet burgundy.

Maybe that will help to ease the pain

Burgundy I guess you're my only friend.

Sweet Burgundy.



Outside my window I see the deaf and the blind

Who are pondered for a moment and then left behind.

Times that I think I was all alone,

I just sit back and think I havn't sold my soul.

BLONDIE lyrics - Here's Looking At You

As I sit staring into this liquid amber, ripples move out to the edge of the glass.

Is that really your reflection in there?

I just want to jump into the warm depths and be there with you, one more time!

Oh, alright

Hit it boys



My initials sprayed across a pavement

Cut into your private interview

Talk to me now, step into my room

We'll have a word or two

If I ever had a million dollars

And if I didn't give it all to you

Would you lose interest?

Show me indifference?

Foot in another shoe?



Not very high heels

Not wearing sneakers too

A magazine ad, a printed canvas

A basic new shade blue suede shoe

Thought I'd like to have a little party

Thought I'd like to have a little do

Sure I stopped drinking but for the moment

Honey, here's looking at you



I'll stop my drinking, give you my promise true

Clean out the closet, be existential

And cast a vote for the president too

But for the action of the moment

Nothing does what it ought to do

Instant depression, I learned my lesson

Nothing that I'd rather do

Come on over my place

Can't see him sideways

Honey, here's looking at you

Oh

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Shine

Oh let your little light shine

Let your little light shine

Shine on Wall Street and Vegas

Place your bets

Shine on the fishermen

With nothing in their nets

Shine on rising oceans and evaporating seas

Shine on our Frankenstein technologies

Shine on science

With its tunnel vision

Shine on fertile farmland

Buried under subdivisions



Let your little light shine

Let your little light shine

Shine on the dazzling darkness

That restores us in deep sleep

Shine on what we throw away

And what we keep



Shine on Reverend Pearson

Who threw away

The vain old God

kept Dickens and Rembrandt and Beethoven

And fresh plowed sod

Shine on good earth, good air, good water

And a safe place

For kids to play

Shine on bombs exploding

Half a mile away



Let your little light shine

Let your little light shine

Shine on world-wide traffic jams

Honking day and night

Shine on another asshole

Passing on the right!

Shine on the red light runners

Busy talking on their cell phones

Shine on the Catholic Church

And the prisons that it owns

Shine on all the Churches

They all love less and less

Shine on a hopeful girl

In a dreamy dress



Let your little light shine

Let your little light shine

Shine on good humor

Shine on good will

Shine on lousy leadership

Licensed to kill

Shine on dying soldiers

In patriotic pain

Shine on mass destruction

In some God's name!

Shine on the pioneers

Those seekers of mental health

Craving simplicity

They traveled inward

Past themselves...

May all their little lights shine

BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - R. U. Ready 2 Rock

(S. Pearlman - A. Bouchard)



Come on come on thru the stations of night

Come on come on everybody's waiting

Come on come on with the signal in sight

Come on come on there's a new tune playing



Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

But who will rock with you

Oh woman with you



Come on come on thru the cities of night

Come on come on everybody's praying

Come on come on for the wonder of light

Come on come on there's a new dance breaking



Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

But who will rock with you

Oh woman with you



I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues

I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues

I only love to be born again

I only love to be born again

I only love to be born again



Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?

Yes I am

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Easy Now

(Eric Clapton)



Holding you, you holding me,

Everyone could see we were in ecstasy.

Making love against the wall,

Feeling very small when we didn't need to be.



[Chorus:]

Easy now; don't let my love flow out of you.

Please remember that I want you to come too.



Oh my darling, help me please.

When I'm without you I fall down and graze my knees.

I look so funny and I feel sad,

Your love is all I've ever had, so please don't tease.



[Chorus]



Yesterday, you know tomorrow,

Could it be I'll have to borrow someone new?

I know that I'm the one to blame,

But all the same, there must be something you can do.



[Chorus 3x]

MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND lyrics - Lose The Touch

Been running down the pavement

From my sworn enemy

He's right there behind

He's been shadowing me

No way to know where he's coming from

Don't know where to turn when I need someone

I took your open hand

just to pull myself free of the strain

And I didn't think I could breathe so easily again

Didn't think I could breathe so easily again

And I don't want to lose the touch

Cause I feel so much with you there

Been running down the pavement

From my sworn enemy

I don't know who he is realistically

Don't even know whose side I've been fighting on

Didn't even know there was a war to be won

Stay in my open arms

And I'll keep you in from the rain

And I didn't think I could breathe so easily again

Didn't think I could breathe so easily again

And I don't want to lose the touch

Cause I feel so much with you there

I don't want to lose the touch

Cause I feel so much with you there

Been running down the pavement

From my sworn enemy

He's right there behind

He's been shadowing me

No way to know where he's coming from

Don't know where to turn when I need someone

THE BANGLES lyrics - The Rain Song

I don't think about us much anymore

Frankly, the topic has become a bore

And you don't come up much in my conversation

I don't think about you on vacation

But when it rains

When it rains

When it rains

That's when I remember

That's when I remember

I remember you

I remember you

I don't think about you when I'm sleeping

It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind

I don't think I see your face through the curtains

Hell, I don't even miss you half the time

But when it rains

When it rains

When it rains

That's when I remember

That's when I remember

I remember you

I remember you

I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up

Inside a cloud of grey

Rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain

But when it rains

When it rains

When it rains



But when it rains

When it rains

When it rains

That's when I remember

That's when I remember

I remember you

I remember you

Well that's when I remember

The only time I remember

When I remember you

JOHN KAY lyrics - Sing With The Children

I got something hard on my mind

I got something hard against my mind

I got a gold mine down in my pocket

And you can have all that you can find

I've got some crazy business on my mind

I need something a little more just to raise my stake

I need something more to raise my stake 'cause she's more than

Any man can ever hope to take

Something more to keep it straight

Goin' down to the corner and find myself a bar

I'm goin' down to the corner I'm gonna lean up against a bar

Gonna sing with the children 'bout the way things really are

Goin' down to the river down to the water wide

Goin' down to the river I'm gonna lay down with my guitar

Gonna sing with the children 'bout the way things really are

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - City Of Quartz

Charming, someone to fear

Handsome, very much here

Evil, dancing through fire

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear



...Something to charm

Danger, someone to harm

Falling into the mire

Climbing - higher and higher



...Someone to fear

Handsome, very much here

Evil, dancing through fire

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear



...Ivory tower

Longing, for something now

Waiting, hour after hour

Give me some of your power



Citadel, a prison of sorts

Only the rich make the laws

Using repression and force

Whore of Babylon, city of Quartz



...Someone to fear

Hidden, and very much here

Hatred summoned so near

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Chinatown

(Phillippe Saisse, Rhoda Roberts and Chaka Khan)



Yin yang

A feeling's evolving through me

Sweet and sour

Is the taste you bring



When I said goodbye, you loved me

When I turned to you, you turned away

When I was so gung-ho

He said 'let me go'



He begged me to stay, stay, stay

If I try to find out what's on your mind

I'll find out in Chinatown



[Chorus:]

Chinatown

I don't know how to read you

Upside down

The signs will all mislead you

Like this town

You're such a mystery to me

Chinatown

I don't know how to read you

Upside down

The signs will all mislead you



I'll track you down

And you'll go crazy for me

So much smoke I can't get through to you

Eyes that I can't see



They stare me down

Here I'm chasin' you

Some crazy Fu Manchu

And it feels so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong



When I try to find out what's on your mind

I'll find out in Chinatown



[Chorus]

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Deep Water

(John Capek/Mare Jordon)



There are angels singing low inside my head

Cool tango blue and samba red

I want to scratch your name upon my wall

Cause I'm drowning here beneath love's waterfall



Deep water

Deep water



Baby you're love's got a hold on me

You row my boat right out to the sea

See the woman inside the girl

Dancing on the roof of the invisible world



We are walking like the waves beside the sea

There are oceans in my eyes that you can't see

And my arms reach out for you into the dark

I feel your skin where my nails left their mark



Deep water

Deep water



Baby you're love's got a hold on me

You row my boat right out to the sea

See the woman inside the girl

Dancing on the roof of the invisible world



Souls alike

Hands alike



Baby you're love's got a hold on me

You row my boat right out to the sea

See the woman inside the girl

Dancing on the roof of the invisible world



Baby you're love's got a hold on me

You row my boat right out to the sea

See the woman inside the girl

Dancing on the roof of the invisible world



Souls alike

Hands alike

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - About You

(McCartney)



You give me power to get out of bed

When in the morning I'm feeling dead

Living and loving there's a lot to be said it's true



Gonna say it about you

Gonna say it about you



Out of the darkness and into the light

Straight to the centre of everything right

Darling don't worry the sky will be bright and blue



When I say it about you

Gonna say it about you

I'll say it about you



When did you teach me to fly thru the air

Sooner or later we all will be there

I read the headlines and now I can swear it's true



And they said it about you

Gonna say it about you

Gonna say it about you

Gonna say it about you

Gonna say it about you

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - Coyote

Coyote goes to the top of the hill

doin' the things that coyote's will

Staring at the sky, at the moon

you know he starts to howl



Coyote goes to the mountain top

looks over down at the river, says "What a drop"

No tame dog is gonna take my bone



Coyote at the top of the hill

doin' the things coyote's will

You gotta cast the first stone

cast the first stone



Jackal goes to the top of the hill

doin' the things that jackal's will

Staring at the moon

you know he starts to howl



Wild dog up on the mountain top

blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops

No tame dog is ever

ever gonna take my bone



Jackal up on the top of the hill

doin' the things that jackal's will

Cast the first stone

cast the first stone



Coyote on top of the hill

ooohhh, doin' the things that coyote's will

Staring at the sky, looks at the moon

he starts to howl



Coyote up on the mountain top

blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops

Says no tame dog is ever

ever gonna take this bone



Coyote up on the mountain top

says "What a drop"

You gotta cast the first stone

cast the first stone

Cast the first stone

you gotta cast the first stone

CHER lyrics - All I Really Want To Do

Now I ain't lookin'

To compete with you

Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you

Simplify you, classify you

Deny, defy, mystify you



[Chorus:]

All I really want to do

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you



Now I ain't lookin'

To fight with you

Frighten you or uptight you

Drag you down or drain you down

Chain you down or bring you down



[Chorus]



I ain't lookin' to block you up

Dock or rock or lock you up

Analyze you, categorize you

Finalize or advertise you



[Chorus]



I don't want to straight - face you up

Race or chase or track or trace you

Or disgrace you or displace you

Or define you or confine you



[Chorus]



Now I don't want to meet your kin

Make you spin or do you in

Or select you or dissect you

Or inspect you or reject you



[Chorus]

U2 lyrics - Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Green light, Seven Eleven

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke, don't even want to

Hey now, check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

Your wheels are turning but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Hey babe, is that what it is



Red lights, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depend's on who's around

You used to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip synch to the talk shows



And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing



If I could stay...

Then the night would give you up

Stay...and the day would keep its trust

Stay...and the night would be enough



Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satelite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast and Berlin



And if you listen I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I'll only hear you



If I could stay...

Then the night would give you up

Stay...then the day would keep its trust

Stay...with the demons you drowned

Stay...with the spirit I found

Stay...and the night would be enough



Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground



Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Hits the ground

VINCE GILL lyrics - We Had It All

(Vince Gill)



We closed down the Border Cantina

And drank margaritas till dawn

You were my sweet senorita

And I was your handsome Don Jaun

We danced like there was no tomorrow

We laughed and we lived and we loved

That moment in time that we borrowed

Never did last long enough



[Chorus:]

Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while

We had it all right in the palm of our hands

We had it all going our way for a little while

Oh, how I wish we could go back there again



We thought we were too young to marry

Slowly we drifted apart

Well baby, I miss you like crazy

Those memories still burn in my heart

Oh, let's find a way to rekindle

That flame that burned long ago

These days just can't hold a candle

To those sweet nights in old Mexico



[Chorus 2x]



Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while

Oh, how I wish we could go back there again

Oh, how I wish we could go back there again

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - In The Shape Of A Heart

It was a ruby that she wore

On a chain around her neck

In the shape of a heart

In the shape of a heart

It was a time I won't forget

For the sorrow and regret

And the shape of a heart

And the shape of a heart

I guess I never knew

What she was talking about

I guess I never knew

What she was living without



People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of

Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove

Speak in terms of belief and belonging

Try to fit some name to their longing

People speak of love



There was a hole left in the wall

From some ancient fight

About the size of a fist

Or something thrown that had missed

And there were other holes as well

In the house where our nights fell

Far too many to repair

In the time that we were there



People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of

Reach out to each other though the push and shove

Speak in terms of a life and the learning

Try to think of a word for the burning



You keep it up

You try so hard

To keep a life from coming apart

And never know

What breaches and faults are concealed

In the shape of a heart



It was the ruby that she wore

On a stand beside the bed

In the hour before dawn

When I knew she was gone

And I held it in my hand

For a little while

And dropped it into the wall

Let it go, heard it fall



I guess I never knew

What she was talking about

I guess I never knew

What she was living without

People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of

Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove

Speak in terms of a life and the living

Try to find the word for forgiving



You keep it up

You try so hard

To keep a life from coming apart

And never know

The shallows and the unseen reefs

That are there from the start

In the shape of a heart

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Feel A Whole Lot Better

(Gene Clark)



The reason why, oh I can't say

I have to let you go babe, and right away

After what you did I can't stay on

And I'll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone



Baby for a long time you had me believe

That your love was all mine

And that's the way it would be

But I didn't know that you were puttin' me on

And I'll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone



Now I gotta say that it's not like before

And I'm not gonna play your games anymore

After what you did I can't stay on

And I'll probably feel a whole let better

When you're gone

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Cicely

He must smoke spum dames by our lay

Charge are we nicks he'll needs our first very edge

Now beautiful I'll tell my mind

Cloud mannered a lot



Tell the king to park his soul



For being an old beat

So in spirit

So maximum

That only water's more deep

To find him



Deals trust him by them all

He must smoke spum dames by our lay

Charge are we nix ill needs our first very edge

Now beautiful I'll tell my mind

How many tell the king to park his soul

MEAT LOAF lyrics - Midnight At The Lost And Found

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty, how about one for you

We could sell it out together, seems tomorrow's overdue

Captain Video, done went home, one pilot laid to rest

And dragon ladies now talk that talk, about who loves who, who loves best

Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round

Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found



[Chorus:]

Midnight at the lost and found, lost souls in the hunting ground

A remedy for all your ills, at the lost and found

Midnight at the lost and found, midnight



Have a double, it's gettin' late, you'll get home, just rely on fate

Place just finally came alive, good old boys just arrived

Stools keep changin' faces, and the night just slips away

And like a long distance love affair, soon you've got to pay

Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round

Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found



[Chorus]



Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away

Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today

Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away

Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today

Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round

Everybody get back in line, last call for the lost and found



[Chorus 2x]

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Bad News From Home

High on a cliff in Mexico

Staring down at the rocks and the sea below

I can hear the church bells ring

I can hear the choir



I remember the night she left

I drove to the station in the pouring rain

Sat all night behind my big iron desk

The oil on the water made a rainbow



At the end of this bone-white gravel road

They both lie sleeping on a feather bed

And her hair is black as the sky at night

But her eyes are gray like the moon

You can run but you can't hide

You can run but you can't hide

You said you love me but I know you lied

You said you love me but I know you lied

GENESIS lyrics - Stagnation

(Banks/Gabriel/Phillips/Rutherford/Mayhew)



To Thomas S. Eiselberg, a very rich man, who was wise enough

to spend all his fortunes in burying himself many miles beneath

the ground. As the only surviving member of the human race, he inherited the whole world.





Here today the red sky tells his tale,

but the only listening eyes are mine

There is peace amongst the hills,

and the night will cover all my pride.

Blest are they who smile from bodies free,

seems to me like any other crowd

who are waiting to be saved.



Wait, there still is time for washing in the pool,

wash away the past.

Moon, my long-lost friend is smiling from above,

smiling at my tears.

Come we'll walk the path to take us to my home,

keep outside the night.

The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead,

somehow.



And each will find a home,

And there will still be time,

for loving my friend

- You are there -



And I will wait for ever, beside the silent mirror

And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds and slimy water.



I, I...said I want to sit down

I, I...said I want to sit down.

I want a drink - I want a drink,

To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat,

I want a drink - I want a drink,

To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts,

I want a drink.



THEN LET US DRINK - THEN LET US SMILE

- THEN LET US GO.

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Fake Tin Star

(Krall/Costello)



Things these days are better by far,

A horse can out run a motor car,

If the wheels are rubber and the rails are steel

That beast can outrun any automobile



Here's the story of progress and all the bullets they spent

On a sheet hung up in a circus tent

There's a lantern shining - it's pointing the way

This kind man has probably had his day

But they keep him around with his last vain hope

For selling tickets while spinning a rope.



They brought him down off the vanishing trail

But nobody these days wants to hear his tale

So he spends his nights leaning up at the bar

The real gone cowboy with the fake tin star.



Up on the screen there's a boy half his age

They pay him 20 times his weekly wage

For dodging phony bullets and catching blunt blades

For blowing up horses and kissing young maids.



Children cheer

Women throw flowers

Men just glower

Up at the screen

But they don't know

Just what it means

Vengeance and dreams.



Girls just swoon at the mention of him

With his face all powdered and his immaculate brim

And his hair pommaded and his fingernails clean

While old men whisper "Just look at him preen"

And outside muttering through a cheap cigar

There's a real gone cowboy with a fake tin star.

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Catch Me If You Can

(Eric Clapton and Gary Brooker)



Catch me if you can; I won't be easy to find.

I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind.

Catch me if you can; it won't be easy to do.

And I'm warning you brother I won't be leaving no clues.



[Chorus:]

Catch me if you can; I won't be leaving no scent.

I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went.

Believe me, I'm a man; I ain't easy to tend.

And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can.



There's no use bothering with the lost and found.

You'd better find a shovel, 'cause I've gone to ground.

Little girl never did pay me no mind.

I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind. So...



[Repeat First Verse]



[Chorus]



[Repeat First Verse]

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Before Time Began

The daylight fades and the stars come out

But there's never much to talk about

Another day goes rushing by and here we are just wondering why

We have to belong with a sense of purpose

That's all we need, without them we're worthless

Ah, we've come so far, hmm, but then again

All we see is more of the same

It's getting crowded here we agree no doubt

Oh dear brother what's it all about?



Hey you over there why don't you throw down your spear?

We all need some help right now

Where are we going from here?

The way things are working out

It won't be too long before we have to move

Better start thinking about it while there's still time to choose



Every day of my life I discover

Someone murdering my sisters and brothers

In the name of some god or another

What do you know?



For the first precious few it's time to go

What might have been we'll never know

All those bad ideas became the law

Oh yes, we've forgotten what we're looking for

All of you angels it's time to gather your wings

Leave it all behind you won't need any of those things

We're going on through the darkness hand in hand

To step into the future

Before time began



And for those who remain with your chosen gods

May your prayers be answered.

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - I Came To Believe

(Johnny Cash)



I couldn't manage the problems I laid on myself

And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else

So I finally surrendered it all brought down in dispair

I cried out for help and I felt a warm comforter there



[Chorus:]

And I came to believe in a power much higher than I

I came to believe that I needed help to get by

In childlike faith I gave in and gave him a try

And I came to believe in a power much higher than I



Nothing worked out when I handled it all on my own

And each time I failed it made me feel twice as alone

Then I cried, "Lord there must be a sure and easier way

For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day."



[Chorus]



Yes, I came to believe in a power much higher than I

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - The Flirting Kind

She used to be the flirting kind

But the boy loved her anyway

He made up his mind

She said, What's a girl to do to be content?

Use your imagination

Time to experiment

Make love like a punishment

So they call her the flirting kind

The flirting kind

You better stop

Stop your running round

I got everything I wanted

I could make up for lost ground



With the flirting kind

The flirting kind

Your love is best

But I'll leave like the rest

The flirting kind

The flirting kind



They say that her fate is sealed

But she's much too beautiful to ever yield

She says, What's a girl to do to be content?

Use your imagination

Time to experiment

Make love like a punishment

So they call her the flirting kind

The flirting kind



She's crying in her sleep

For a man tone deaf

So is a man all over

He's all over, all over town



With the flirting kind

The flirting kind

Your love is best

But I'll leave like the rest

The flirting kind

The flirting kind

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - No More Tears

(Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Randy Castillo, Michael Inez, John Purdell)



The light in the window is a crack in the sky

A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye

A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back

The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers

Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life's in danger here ya

No more tears

Another day passes as the night closes in

The red light goes on to say it's time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting does to see me?

I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here

No more tears

So now that it's over can't we just say good-bye?

I'd like to move an and make the most of the night

Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way

Your lips are so cold Idon't know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling

Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here

No more tears

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - It Had To Be You (Big Band And Vocals)

It had to be you

It had to be you

I wandered around and finally found

The somebody who could make me be true

Could make me be blue or even be glad

Just to be sad just thinking of you



Some others I've seen might never be mean

Might never be cross or try to be boss

But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill

With all your faults I love you still

It had to be you, wonderful you

It had to be you

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Watching The Clothes

Oh, saturday night

Mmm, everyone's having fun

I'm down at the laundromat

Trying to get my washing done

Like I done before

Time and time again

Watching the clothes go 'round

Another week sees it's end



Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round



Oh, I've been working hard

Mmm, trying to make some money

Would you like sour cream

On your potato, honey?

I been kissing ass

Trying to keep it clean

Serving the middle class

Yeah, it's a clean routine



Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round



There go the whites

Mmm, getting whiter

There go the colors

Getting brighter

There go the delicates

Through the final rinse

There goes my saturday night

I go without a fight



Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

Watching the clothes go 'round

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Ol' Man River

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi

Here we all work while the white folk play

Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset

Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

Don't look up and don't look down

Ya don't dast make the white boss frown

Bend your knees and bow your head

And pull that rope until you're dead

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi

Let me go 'way from the white man boss

Show me that stream called the River Jordan

That's the old stream that I long to cross



Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River

He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton

And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain

Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bale

Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail

I gets weary and so sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'

And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

DIANA ROSS lyrics - What A Diff'rence A Day Makes

(Music Maria Grever and Lyrics by Stanley Adams)



What a diff'rence a day made

Twenty-four little hours

Brought the sun and the flowers

Where there used to be rain



My yesterday was blue, dear

Today I'm part of you, dear

My lonely nights are through, dear

(Since you said you were mine)



What a diff'rence a day makes

There's a rainbow before me

Skies above can't be stormy

Since that moment of bliss

That thrilling kiss



(It's heaven when you find romance on your menu)

What a diff'rence a day made

And the difference is you



(What a diff'rence a day makes)

(There's a rainbow before me)

(Skies above can't be stormy)

Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss



(It's heaven when you find romance on your menu)

What a diff'rence a day made

And the difference is you

DIO lyrics - One More For The Road

Never been here before

But I'm coming back tomorrow

For the real pain

A cold rain again



Nice day for a crucifixion

Heard a new prediction

That we can all be saved

So I'll have

One more for the road

Oh, play it again

One more for the road



Never heard this before

That a child can tell who's evil

But it's a good thing

If we sing along



Cold day

We can make a fire

Burn another liar

Can witches ever die?

Hey let's burn

One more for the road

Oh gimme the same again

One more for the road



Well I've never been here before

And the room is really empty

But there's a big line waiting for the show



Nice day for an execution

Another wrong conclusion

But someone's got to pay

So let's burn

One more for the road

Oh play it again

One more for the road



There's a child who just sees evil

And a man who just loves pain

But I've heard that we can't save them

So gimme the same again



There's a cross that you can't carry

Cause it's heavier than hell

And if you should meet your maker

Just pray that he won't yell

One more for the road

One more for the road

Play it again

One more for the road

STYX lyrics - After You Leave Me

You come to me girl

Tears are in your eyes

Your head's bowed in sorrow

You whisper your good-byes



There's nothing I can tell you

To make you want to stay

So let me ask one question

Before you slip away



After you leave me

Where can I go?

After you leave me

What will I do?



I've seen this moment coming

For such a long, long time

I've laid awake for hours

Rehearsing every line



But now that it's here girl

Can't think of anything to say

So let me ask one question

Before you slip away



After you leave me

Where can I go?

After you leave me

What will I do?



Every time that

I get next to her

I'm hung up in this ring of fire



If I love her

Should I let her go

Or should I beg on a bended knee?



How much longer

Lord, I just don't know

I just can't take it girl

I'm breaking up o'er you



After you leave me

Where can I go?

After you leave me

What will I do?



After you

After you leave
