SIMPLY RED lyrics - Oh! What A Girl!

Here she comes again

Walking right by next to me

Oh, she's smelling so sweet, so fine

Make me loose my mind

Oh, making this man crazy now, crazy, crazy



Oh what a girl

Oh what a girl, what a lady



There came a time in my life

A time to move along

Left alone once more again

Yes I loved her



Images abound in my mind

They paint you like I love you

If I felt I had you

I'd open up my soul again



[Chorus:]

Now I just can't stand being turned on my head

And I don't need to be lonely in my bed

I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls

When she walks in the room the moonlight beams

From her face and all those dreams

Come along where lost love stole a parking space

And oh what a girl

Oh what a girl, what a lady



These images abound in my mind

Painting me like I love you

Now I know I've found you

I've opened up my soul for sure



[Chorus]



She's walking right next to me

Here she comes now walking down the street

Looking so fine

Make me loose my mind

Oh, making this man crazy now, crazy, crazy

TOM WAITS lyrics - Underground

Rattle Big Black Bones

in the Danger zone

there's a rumblin' groan

down below

there's a big dark town

it's a place I've found

there's a world going on

UNDERGROUND

they're alive, they're awake

while the rest of the world is asleep

below the mine shaft roads

it will all unfold

there's a world going on

UNDERGROUND

all the roots hang down

swing from town to town

they are marching around

down under your boots

all the trucks unload

beyond the gopher holes

there's a world going on

UNDERGROUND

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Wabash Cannon Ball

It's good to be back home again at the Sevier Tennessee

I'm awful glad to see you hope you're glad to see me

Now I'd like to say I love you I welcome to you all

Now I know I stole this steam from the Wabash Cannonball



From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

Up the hills and down the mountains and the valleys to the shore

She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all

She's a mighty famous thing called the Wabash Cannonball (Pete Drake)



Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day

As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say

That's that train from Tennessee boys she's long and she's tall

She's a famous choo-choo train called the Wabash Cannonball (yodel)

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Rare And Precious Chain

Rare and precious chain --

Do I have to tell you, tell you once again?

Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you.

Rare and precious chain --

Binds me to your soul round gently pulsing veins.

Shackled tight, feel love's bite coming back to you.



No gold of fools.

No hostage taking.

No engagement rules.

To leave you forsaken.



Tiny beads of sweat --

thin diamond glistening, glistening around your neck,

forgotten rooms, dark catacombs

they all come back to you.



No crock of glittering prizes.

No sharply worded telegram.

No excuses for the word-weary.

No excuses for who I am.



It's a rare and precious chain.

Around your neck I place it, place it once again.

Drawn finger tight, feel love's bite coming back to you.

Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you.

Rare and precious chain.

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Don't Give Up On Us

Love has taken me for a fool

Gotten out in time to save himself

Should have known better but I'll let things slide

I took you for granted

That you would always be the one for me

Maybe I'll start trying



Oh baby, don't give up on us

I know your heart is full of doubt

You don't need to be without these lovin' arms

That will hold you through your darkest hour

I'll be using all my power so I can reach you

Don't give up on us



I've been living alone here or have I turned to dust?

It hurts, it hurts to wait for just a little love

You must give me a sign now

Can't you see me standing here alive and well

With all the hope you'd be the one for me

Maybe I'll keep trying



Oh baby, don't give up on us

I know your heart is full of doubt

You don't need to be without these lovin' arms

That will hold you through your darkest hour

I'll be using all my power so I can reach you

Don't give up on us



Maybe the way I can see

In where it all begins

We can't go on living on a cloud

We'll never find our way home



Oh let me reach you, oh my love, come on let me

Oh let me hold you, oh my love, don't give up on us

GEORGE MICHAEL lyrics - Heal The Pain '06

Let me tell you a secret

Put it in your heart and keep it

Something that i want you to know

Do something for me

Listen to my simple story

And maybe we'll have something to show



You tell me you're old on the inside

How can the outside world

Be a place that your heart can embrace

Be good to yourself

Because nobody else

Has the power to make you happy



How can i help you

Please let me try to

I can heal the pain

That you're reeling inside

Whenever you want me

You know that i will be

Waiting for the day

That you say you'll be mine



He must have really hurt you

To make you say the things that you do

He must have really hurt you

To make those pretty eyes look so blue



He must have known

That he could

That you'd never leave him

Now you can't see my love is good

And that i'm not him



How can i help you

Please let me try to

I can heal the pain

Won't you let me inside

Whenever you want me

You know that i will be

Waiting for the day

That you say you'll be mine



Who needs a lover

That can't be a freind

Something tells me i'm the one you've been looking for

If you ever should see him again

Won"t you tell him you've found someone who gives you more



Someone who will protect you

Love and respect you

All those things

That he never could bring to you

Like i do

Or rather i would

Won't you show me your heart

Like you should



Won't you let me in

Let this love begin

Won't you show me your heart now

I'll be good to you

I can make this true

And get to your heart somehow

TOM WAITS lyrics - Jesus Gonna Be Here

Well, Jesus will be here

Be here soon

he's gonna cover us up with leaves

With a blanket from the moon

With a promise and a vow

And a lullaby for my brow

Jesus gonna be here

Be here soon



Well I'm just gonna wait here

I don't have to shout

I have no reason and

I have no doubt

I'm gonna get myself

Unfurled from this mortal coiled up world

Because Jesus gonna be here

Be here soon



I got to keep my eyes open

So I can see my Lord

I'm gonna watch the horizon

For a brand new Ford



I can hear him rolling on down the lane

I said Hollywood be thy name

Jesus gonna be

Gonna be here soon



Well I've been faithful

And I've been so good

Except for drinking

But he new that I would

I'm gonna leave this place better

Than the way I found it was

And Jesus gonna be here

Be here soon

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry



He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I made my baby say goodbye



It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

AMY GRANT lyrics - Politics Of Kissing

(Cliff Magness, Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick)



Oh, oh, oh

(That's the politics of kissing)

(Politics of kissing)



She's looking back to see if he's looking at her

They talk without any words

And with a smile he's moving heaven and earth

She dreams of holding him tight

When will the moment be right

Gotta be diplomatic... a step at a time

Don't wanna blow it, baby



[Chorus:]

That's the politics of kissing

To know when to show when to show your hand

First thoughts then second guessing

A subtle supply and demand

Balance of power, baby

To hold or not to hold

That's the politics of kissing

Finding your way as you go, go, go...

How do you know



Head over heals under the moon looking at you

But do you feel it too?

And if I move in closer, what will you do

Cause I'm thinking please hold me tight

And am I the light in your eyes

I wish you had the power for reading my mind

Cause I'll never say it to you



[Chorus]



Oh, oh, oh...



Hear what I'm saying to you



[Chorus]

RAINBOW lyrics - Street Of Dreams

(Blackmore/Turner)



I heard the sound of voices in the night

Spellbound there was someone calling

I looked around no one was in sight

Pulled down I just kept on falling

I've seen this place before

You were standing by my side

I've seen your face before tonight

Maybe I just see what I want it to be

I know it's a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams

Running through my memory

On the street of dreams



There you stood a distant memory

So good like we never parted

Said to myself I knew you'd set me free

And here we are right back where we started

Soemthing's come over me

And I don't know what to feel

Maybe this fantasy is real

Now I know I see what I want it to be

But it's still a mystery



Do you remember me on the street of dreams

Running through my memory

On the street of dreams

You are on every face I see

On the street of dreams



SOLO



Tell me have you always been

On the street of dreams

Will we ever meet again my friend

Do you know just what it meand to be

On the street of dreams

Never know just who you'll see do ya

On the street of dreams

You can be who you want to be oh yeah

I can hear you calling me

I can feel you haunting me

Haunting me

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Railroad Boy

(Traditional)



She went upstairs to make her bed

And not one word to her mother said.

Her mother she went upstairs too

Saying, "Daughter, oh daughter, what's troublin' you?":

"Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell

That railroad boy that I love so well.

He courted me my life away

And now at home will no longer stay."

"There is a place in yonder town

Where my love goes and he sits him down.

And he takes that strange girl on his knee

And he tells to her what he won't tell me."

Her father he came home from work

Sayin', "Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt"

He went upstairs to give her hope

An' he found her hangin' by a rope.

He took his knife and he cut her down

And on her bosom these words he found:

"Go dig my grave both wide and deep,

Put a marble stone at my head and feet,

And on my breast, put a snow white dove

To warn the world that I died of love.

THE CHURCH lyrics - Dream Of Edward

Whoa...

I've-I fell asleep for a while. I couldn't help it.

I've been pushing myself to the end even faster, taking fewer breaks.

I dreamt while I slept. Edward was in my dream.

Neither of us had really ever left the insane asylum.

We just sat there in matching straitjackets in uncomfortable chairs, facing each other.

We were surrounded by huge orange-red-and-black mushrooms.

The sight of their amber gills above us, slowly breathing in and out in a sussurating mimicry of conscious life, was strangely calming to me.

"Where have you gone?" I asked him.

"Underground," he said.

"What did you find there?" I asked.

"Acceptance, everlasting life, and mushrooms," he said, and smiled.

It was a lovely smile. It radiated outwards to suffuse his entire face in a golden light.

"Is that all?" I said. "Was it worth it? Did you have to give up anything?"

"My fear. My consciousness. My former life."

"What was that like?"

"Do you remember those trust exercises they made us do? Where one of us would fall into the arms of the others, and you just had to fall and keep falling and believe they would catch you?"

"It was like that?"

"It was like that. Except imagine falling for a hundred years before you're caught, looking at a black sky full of dead stars in front of you, and the abyss at your back."

"You're dead," I said. It wasn't an accusation.

"Probably," he replied.

THE BYRDS lyrics - Wild Mountain Thyme

(Traditional, arranged by McGuinn / Hillman / Clarke / Crosby)



Oh the summer time is coming and the leaves are sweetly turning

And the wild mountain thyme blooms across the purple heather

Will you go lassie go



If you will not go with me I will surely find another

To pull wild mountain thyme all across the purple heather

Will you go lassie go



And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme

All across the purple heather

Will you go lassie go



And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme

All across the purple heather

Will you go lassie go



And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme

All across the purple heather

Will you go lassie go

ABBA lyrics - When All Is Said And Done

Here's to us

one more toast

and then we'll pay the bill

deep inside

both of us

can feel the autumn chill

birds of passage

you and me

we fly instinctively

when the summer's over

and the dark clouds hide the sun

neither you nor I'm to blame

when all is said and done



In our lives

we have walked

some strange and lonely treks

slightly worn

but dignified

and not too old for sex

we're still striving for the sky

no taste for humble pie

thanks for all your generous love

and thanks for all the fun

neither you nor I'm to blame

when all is said and done



It's so strange

when you're down

and lying on the floor

how you rise

shake your head

get up and ask for more

clear-headed and open-eyed

with nothing left untried

standing calmly at the crossroads

no desire to run

there's no hurry any more

when all is said and done

RICKY NELSON lyrics - No Vacancy

All along the road of life I roam

Looking for a place to call my own

Not a fancy mansion

Or a bungalow for me

Everywhere I go I seem to find

Hangin' on the door that same old sign

My heart beats slower when I read on the door

No vacancy



No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line, same old sign

Waitin' for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door

No vacancy



Not so very long ago it seemed

Many a happy dream I dreamed

Of a little nest where I could rest

And the world was free

Now the mighty war is over and won

Trouble and trials just begun

I face that terrible enemy

No vacancy



No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line, same old sign

Waitin' for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door

No vacancy



Brother if you live a life of ease

You'd better take a moment on your knees

And thank the Lord above

For all he's done for you

Livin' in a world of grief and hate

Hopin' every day that the hand of fate

Will remove that sign on the door

No vacancy



No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line, same old sign

Waitin' for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door

No vacancy

PRINCE lyrics - I No

Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet

Clap your hands, and stomp your feet

Everybody, everybody knows

When love calls, U gotta go



(I Know) [repeated in the background]



([Listen, the soul of this song belongs to God])



Welcome 2 the New Power Generation

The reason my voice is so clear

Is there's no smack in my brain

Hundalasiliah



Ha na na-sha na na na na na na



I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell

Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell

I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me

That's when I called his name don't U know he found me



No! Is what Spooky Electric say, it's not OK

But I know love is the only way till my dying day

No - til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done

Hundalasiliah



I know there is a devil because he talks so loud

He makes U do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd

But my Lord he is so quiet when He calls your name

When U hear it your heart will thunder

U will want 2 hear it every day



No! (people) Is what Spooky Electric say (everbody say)

But don't U know that I know

Love is the only way, til my dying day

No - Til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done

Hundalasiliah



Alright y'all, everybody in the house (serve it up, Frankie)

Swing it 2 the right, savoir faire

Up on the 2, swing on the 4

Everybody on the dancefloor



Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Tell ya what...

Man, are we on the guest list?

Guest list? Guest list?

A peanut-butter sandwich (her and her girlfriend)

(the one that was standin')

[D] (right next to my woman...)

(right next to my woman)

Let us praise God [E]

With the fruit of the vine ((My name's Andre Crabtree III))

Our [innocent] symbol of glory ((I've got more holes than a golf course))

And thank him 4 lessons

Of the past, for life, prince... (I said who popped the question?)

LES ROCKETS lyrics - Light Speed Junky

Just a man, his life's a competition

Light speed junky (2)

Never slow down or going steady

Light speed junky (2)

Need no starter to get him ready

Light speed junky (2)

In the air, into the sea

Nothing can stop his motion

Light speed junky



When it comes down to speed no one's faster

Light speed junky (2)

'Cause when he flies his machine is a monster

Light speed junky (2)

Need no breaks, he's never satisfied

In the air, into the sea

Nothing can stop his motion

He's like the devil in a subhuman race

Nobody's ever seen such crazy madness

He's on the way up somewhere close to the sun

A second later right there back to the ground

Keep off the way, don't say you've never been told

Beware, and better keep your eyes on the road

People say his mother was no human

Light speed junky (2)

And his father was a traffic warden

Light speed junky (2)

As a child he was known as speedy

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - I Made It Through The Rain

We dreamers have our ways

Of facing rainy days

And somehow we survive

We keep the feelings warm

Protect them from the storm

Until our time arrives

Then one day the sun appears

And we come shining through those lonely years



I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept my point of view

I made it through the rain



And found myself respected

By the others who

Got rained on too

And made it through

When friends are hard to find

And life seems so unkind

Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds

And rise above the crowds

And start your own parade

'Cause when I chased my fears away

That's when I knew that I could finally say



I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept my point of view

I made it through the rain



And found myself respected

By the others who

Got rained on too

And made it through



I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept my point of view

I made it through the rain



And found myself respected

By the others who

Got rained on too

And made it through

And made it through

I made it through

J. J. CALE lyrics - Unemployment

(J. J. Cale)



Beating down the pavement, looking for a job

I'll do anything except steal and rob

Unemployment is something I can't use

If you can't use me, can you tell me some good news

I'll be pretty simple, hear just what I say

I'll do anything to send these blues away

Unemployment is something I can't use

If you can't help me, can you tell us some good news

You won't have to pay me overtime, overtime and all that

You just tell me what time and where at

Unemployment is something I can't use

If you can't help me, can you tell me some good news

I'll do anything at all, anything at all to be a friend

You know I'm real prompt, I'm right on time

Unemployment is something I can't use

If you can't help me, can you tell me some good news

THE CHURCH lyrics - Maya

When, how did you notice

Why, what can't you see

Yeah, if that's all the difference it makes

Yeah, it makes it all different for me



Now you're lost in this moment

Now outside of time

Now, now you remember it all

How, now that reminds me



Well, what can you do now

When everything's done now

And we really need something out there

All this is just Maya to me

THE MIRACLES lyrics - Love Machine

Oh, yeah

I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

Yeah, baby, I'm just a love machine

A hugging kissing fiend



I think it's high time you knew

Whenever I think of you

My mind blows a fuse

When I look in your eyes

My meter starts to rise

And I become confused

My motor cranked electric goes

When I'm sitting next to you

Electricity starts to flow

And my indicator starts to glow



I, I, I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

I'm just a love machine, yeah, baby

A hugging kissing fiend

La-La la la la-La la la la-La la

La la la la la-La la la-La laaaaaaaaa

I, I, I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

I'm just a love machine, yeah, baby

A hugging kissing fiend



I'm gentle as a lamb

I'm not that hard to program

There's no way that you can lose

Chassis fits like a glove

I've got a button for love

That you've got to use (push it, push it baby)

If you look into my power

I am sure you can find out how

To turn me on just set my dial

And let me love you for a little while, ooooooh



I, I, I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

I'm just a love machine, yeah, baby

A hugging kissing fiend

La-La la la la-La la la la-La la

La la la la la-La la la-La laaaaaaaaa

Push it push it baby, aaaaaah



I, I, I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

I'm just a love machine, (yeah, baby)

A hugging kissing fiend, (ah, ah)



I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you

I'm just a love machine, (he, baby)

A hugging kissing fiend

ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - Surrender

(Roger Taylor)



Same cycle happen every day

Same characters same play

My game plan's become clear

Gotta find a way out of here

There ain't no place to run

No welcome mat in my home

No love here, no life

He want a punchbag, not a wife

You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now, I'm gone from you



You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now

You can't reach me where I've gone to



I surrender

I surrender



No hope left, just pain

Whisky on his breath, violence in his brain

Scared kids, with marred minds

Surrender reason, love is blind

Surrender life, surrender love

Surrender belief in God above

Surrender hope, bow down to fear

Surrender life, there ain't much here



You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now, I'm gone from you



You can't hurt me now

You can't hurt me now

You can't reach me where I'm going to



I surrender

I surrender

I surrender

I surrender



You can't reach me, you can't reach me

You can't reach me, you can't reach me



I surrender

You can't hurt me, you can't hurt me

I surrender

I surrender

I surrender

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - By Heart

(Michael McDonald/Chuck Sabatino & David Pack)



Girl, they ain't no way out

When something is meant to be

Darling, there ain't no doubt

I'm right where I want to be



So everything you see as the end of our road

I see as only a start

This ain't no time to stop before we begin

And though there's no promises



[Chorus:]

Everytime I think how good it could be

I start to be believe it's up to the stars

I should use my head

But that only tends to lose me and confuse me

Everytime I think how good it could be

I surely believe we'll make it that far

I should use my head

But I only know you by heart, by heart



Girl, I know I'm in

Over my head

But now I need to find out

Just what you want from me



And if I'm reaching too high, you know we live and learn

That's all it takes in this life

I can't be overly cautious where love's concerned

I know there's no promises



[Chorus]

RINGO STARR lyrics - Trippin' On My Own Tears

We were once upon a time

Then your love disappeared

You can't help crying

When you love something so dear

There's a mile of heartache that I had to cross

Face down, longing for the love I lost

I can't help wonderin'

How I ended up here.



So I cried so hard

I was trippin' on my own tears.



What was so confusing

Is now becoming so clear

She tried to tell me

What I never wanted to hear

It don't matter if the sun does shine

It's always clouded know that you're not mine

For one foolish moment

Won't you forgive me dear.



So I cried so hard

I was trippin' on my own tears.



Why you can't that I'm dying?

I'm not a saint, but god I'm trying, trying.



It don't matter

If you're wrong or wright

When you're walking the floor

And you're up all the night

I'll wait for you

If it takes a millions years.



Well I cried so hard

I was trippin' on my own tears

DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Pour Some Sugar On Me

Step inside, walk this way

You and me babe, Hey, hey!



Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on

Livin' like a lover with a radar phone

Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp

Demolition woman, can I be your man?

Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light

Television lover, baby, go all night

Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet

Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah



Hey!

C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up

Break the bubble, break it up



Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C'mon fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

Oh, I can't get enough



I'm hot, sticky sweet

From my head to my feet yeah



Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!

Crazy little woman in a one man show

Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love

Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up



You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little

Tease a little more

Easy operator come a knockin' on my door

Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet

Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah



Take a bottle, shake it up

Break the bubble, break it up



Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C'mon fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

Oh, I can't get enough



I'm hot, sticky sweet

From my head to my feet yeah

You got the peaches, I got the cream

Sweet to taste, saccharine

'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet

From my head, my head, to my feet



Do you take sugar? one lump or two?



Take a bottle, shake it up

Break the bubble, break it up



Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C'mon fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

Oh, I can't get enough

Oh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

Get it, come get it

Pour your sugar on me

Ooh

Yeah! Sugar me!

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Sweeter As The Days Go By

Oh you've got a smile like a sweet lovin' angel, oh baby

And you've got a heart that's made of pure gold, oh baby

You've given me so much that I'm grateful of such a faithful love

And it gets sweeter as the days go by, sweeter as the days go by



Oh I'd be lost without you baby, now don't ever leave me

'Cause your sweet kiss turns on my sunshine, oh yeah baby

At night the stars, they wink at you, I-hi-hi have seen them, baby

Ah but I guess every single star knows how sweet you are

You get sweeter as the days go by, sweeter, honey, as the days go by



[Backing vocals, over sax solo:]

Just a little sweeter, baby [x4]



Now there are so many reasons for me to love you, oh baby

And I'm so lucky to have you and that's no lie, no baby

Yes, you're a candymaker's dream come true, and darlin', sugar has nothin' on you

And you get sweeter as the days go by, sweeter as the days go by

Honey, you're sweeter than honey, you're sweeter than sugar

[...and fade]

STYX lyrics - Fanfare For The Common Man

Another new day takes up on you

A fanfare wakes the land

The naked lives just a shining down

At the dawn of the common man



Outside in the madding crowd

He laughs along the way

Traffic city, what a pity

It doesn't have a word to say



Troubled people, billions of people

They can't seem to understand

The ringing ears are unable to hear

The sounds of the natural plan



Yeah yeah yeah

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Finders Keepers

(Brian Wilson)



I kicked out of the surf

And stuck my board in the sand

And then up in my Woody

To a hamburger stand

And when I got back

My nine five board was gone



She said yeah she said

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

(Losers weepers)

Losers weepers

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

Finders keepers

Losers weepers



I saw a Hodaddy

Paddlin' out by the pier

Well he musta got my board

'Cause mine isn't here

But I know how to fix him

I'll just raise that meatball flag



He said yeah he said

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

(Losers weepers)

Losers weepers

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

Finders keepers

Losers weepers



He took off on a swell

When he saw the flag

He's just a crazy Hodaddy

Pullin' some kind of gag

He went over the falls

And now my board's

Coming back to me



I said yes I said

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

(Losers weepers)

Losers weepers

(Finders keepers)

Finders keepers

Finders keepers

Losers weepers



That'll teach him to mess with my board

Next pass next time. . .

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Somedays

Somedays I look,

I look at you with eyes that shine.

Somedays I don't,

I don't believe that you are mine.



It's no good asking me what time of day it is,

Who won the match or scored the goal.

Somedays I look,

Somedays I look into your soul.



Sometimes I laugh,

I laugh to think how young we were.

Sometimes it's hard,

It's hard to know which way to turn.



Don't ask me where I found that picture on the wall,

How much it cost or what it's worth.

Sometimes I laugh,

I laugh to think how young we were.



We don't need anybody else

To tell us what is real.

Inside each one of us is love,

And we know how it feels.



Somedays I cry,

I cry for those who live in fear.

Somedays I don't,

I don't remember why I'm here.



No use reminding me, it's just the way it is,

Who ran the race and came in first.

Somedays I cry,

I cry for those who fear the worst.



We don't need anybody else

To tell us what is real.

Inside each one of us is love,

And we know how it feels.



Somedays I look,

I look at you with eyes that shine.

Somedays I don't,

I don't believe that you are mine.



It's no good asking me what time of day it is,

Who won the match or scored the goal.

Somedays I look,

Somedays I look into your soul.

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Dark Colors

(G. Powell)



What ya gonna find when you go downtown and you wanna rock and roll

Find they all gone home... it's all right

I don't wanna be the one to come on like you're a high woman with no right

To go on... so hold on

Dark colours... I'll be so glad to be your man





You bet you're gonna find a good time say you're never gonna settle down

And find your own home... it's all right

I don't wanna be the one to start no fight you're a straight shooter with curved sights

Find they all gone home... it's all right

I don't wanna be the one to start no fight you're a straight shooter with curved sights

Faded jeans... day green gold frays off her trim

Dark colours... I'll be so glad to be your man

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Quiet Evening

(Carly Simon & David Saw)



Quiet

Such a quiet

It's a quiet



Won't somebody tell me

Won't you let me know

Quiet evening

I'm sleepy and I'm holding on

I've got nowhere to go

Quiet evening

You know you still have friends

And they'll be waiting for you



Quiet evening

You've been longing for

Quiet evening

You've been longing

Take this night, for the sake of your soul



Moonlight calls and it covers you

There's nothing left but this hidden view

Quiet evening

Cars roll by on that motorway

Others may have a lot to say

Quiet eveining

You know you still have friends

And they'll be waiting for you



Quiet evening

You've been longing for

Quiet evening

You've been longing

Some people might stay up til it's light

But take this night, for the sake of your soul



Quiet

It's a quiet

Quiet

It's a quiet

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Reflections

Through the mirror of my mind

Time after time

I see reflections of you and me



Reflections of the way life used to be

Reflections of the love you took from me



I'm all alone now

No love to shield me

Trapped in a world that's

a distorted reality.



Happiness you took from me

and left me alone

with only memories.



Through the mirror of my mind

Through these tears that I'm crying

Reflects the hurt I can't control

Cause although you're gone

I keep holding on

to the happy times

ooh when you were mine



AS I peer out through the window

of lost time

Looking over my yesteryear

And all this love I gave all in vain



(all the love) All the love I've wasted

(all those tears) All the tears that I've tasted

(ooh, ooh) All in vain

(all in vain, till nothing remains)



Through the hollow of my tears

I see a dream that's lost

From the hurt

That you have caused



Everywhere I turn

seems like everything I see

Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put all my faith and trust

and right before my eyes my world has turned to dust



After all those nights I sat alone and wept

Just a hand full of promises and all that's left of loving you



Reflections of

the way life used to be

Reflections of

the love you took from me

in you I put all my faith and trust

right before my eyes my world was turned to dust

Reflections of...

Something about your swagger

And the way you talk to me

Ain't too many people that can get it out me

Something about your swagger

And the way you talk to me

Ain't nobody has been able to

Get it out me

Get it out me

What it is I do not know but you make me want to let go

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Candy Man

(Quatro/Andrews)



Standing on the edge of nowhere

Wishing I could chase these blues away

Got to find a reason somewhere

Try to live my life another way



Who can make me alright

The candy man can

Who can please me all night

The candy man can



Drifting, lost, and in confusion

Like I'm rolling down a mountainside

Got to find a new solution

Try get off this roller coaster ride



Who can make me alright

The candy man can

Who can please me all night

The candy man can



Standing on the edge of nowhere

Wishing I could chase these blues away

Got to find a reason somewhere

Try to live my life another way



Who can make me alright

The candy man can

Who can please me all night

The candy man can



The candy man can

The candy man can

The candy man can

The candy man can

The candy man can

The candy man can

Wish that I could chase these blues away

Wish that I could chase these blues away

Wish that I could chase these blues away

Wish that I could chase these blues away

FATES WARNING lyrics - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray. Part II

Are you listening

Am i here screaming?

Drowning in a silent sea

Or only dreaming?



Drifting in and out

His mind never rests

Lying in shadows

Replaying a thousand regrets



Can you hear me

Am i getting through?

A million miles away

Or here beside you?



Drifting in and out

His heart never forgets

Lying in shadows

Replaying a thousand regrets



And the minutes just pass

As the hours change

And the shifting sands

Slowly rearrange



Drifting in and out

His mind never rests

Lying in shadows

Replaying a thousand regrets

ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION lyrics - Let Me Touch You For Awhile

It's been a long time coming,

As we shed a lonesome tear.

And now you're in a wonderama,

I wonder what you're doin' here.



The flame no longer flickers,

You're feeling just like a fool.

You're starin' into your liquor,

Wonderin' what to do.



I don't really know you,

But I'd be willin' to show you,

A way to make you smile!

Let me touch you for awhile.



I'm gonna ruin my black mascara.

You're drinkin whiskey when it should be wine.

You keep a-lookin' into that mirror.

But to me you're lookin' really fine.



I don't really know you,

But I'd be willin' to show you,

I know a way to make you,

Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walkin' out your door.

I know a way to make you smile.



Just let me whisper things,

You've never heard before.

Just let me touch you, baby.

Just let me touch you for awhile.



I don't really know you,

But I'd be willin' to show you,

I know a way to make you smile.



It's been a long time,

Let me touch you for awhile.

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Shock Wave

There's no reason for you to run

You can't escape the fate of the chosen one

Black moon rising, in a blood red sky

This time you realise that you're gonna die



Drinking your blood brew is your answer

That's what you plan to do

No dreaming, time you cheat this master

You're on your own going through



Wind of mist has taken over your mind

And you think you're on your own

Don't believe you are the only one here

Look around, you're not alone



Feel the forces from another world

Ghostly shadows fill your mind

Evil power hanging over you

As you freeze, you're like a child

Look behind you!



Somebody's calling

Someone is near

Feel yourself falling

Falling with fear

You tell yourself you're dreaming

You realise you're screaming

You know that this shouldn't happen to you

You tell yourself that it's scary too

But there is nothing you can do, oh!



Ghostly shadows from the other world

Evil forces in your mind

Trapped between the worlds of life and death

Frozen in the realms of time

Look behind you!



You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line

Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind

Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains

Ice cold fingers, running through your veins

CHER lyrics - Classified 1A

I know now how much I love you

I knew it surely when I saw my blood

I cried with my wet eyes, I said "I love you"

I said "I love you" dying in the mud



It's funny, you know I'm not the one that feels bad

Some guy is gonna knock at our front door

Honey, he's gonna try and tell you in a nice way

That Missus you're not a Missus anymore



Just one more time I wish that I could see you

Just one more time I wish that you were near

Just one more time I wish that you could hear me

But bitterness won't make me re-appear



I love you, my God how I love you

I see you all around me

It's time now, it's time to say goodnight

But this time my love, I won't have to get up and fight

I love you

PHISH lyrics - It's Ice

I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice

'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice

The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice

While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice



Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask

I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask

None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in

I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin



He's fallen on the ice, it cracks

Will he plunge in and join me here?

He meets my eyes, to my surprise

He laughs in full light of my frown

My double wants to pull me down



Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone

The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own

I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul

He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control



And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time

He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine

Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights

Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.

ALANNAH MYLES lyrics - Who Loves You

I send a message to you

I close my eyes and hope it gets through

It's in the language of love

It's in your touch, bearing 'em all

I wonder if you hear me tonight

Sometimes you're so far away

I wanna have you near me tonight

Do you belong to me

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now

So tired I can't fall asleep

I close my eyes and breathe in the heat

I've got this passion for you

Like desparation out of the blue

I wonder if you hear me tonight

Sometimes you're so far away

I wanna have you near me tonight

Do you belong to me

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you're gonn' hold on to

Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now

What's you gonna do about it now

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - The Rose Tattoo

[Bomba/Mozambique]



And they were imagining Roses

As if life itself were a dream

Is a gift not a reason for living?

Not enough, not enough, so it seems



Lost in the Stars

Venus and Mars

And I'm in heaven again

I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man



If all the dead are now living

And all of the living will die

Buying their tickets and changing their trains

Into the city and back home again



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man



Brinde a la Rosa

Y al hombre que no vive

Perdido en un sueno

En un atmosfer imposible



Una Rosa sueno imposible

Una Rosa sueno imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia irresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa, pero el hombre es invisible



Una Rosa sueno imposible

Una Rosa, no queda nada



Now I haven't seen you for ages

Come in, come out of the rain

Open the doorway and climb up the stairs

This is the bedroom where we said our prayers



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisble man

The singer's playin' "Fly Me to the Moon"

And I'm in heaven again



Brinde a la rosa

Y al hombre que no vive

Perdid en un sueno

En un atmosfer imposible



Una Rosa sueno imposible

Una Rosa sueno imposible

No queda nada

Solo la lluvia irresistible

Tatuaje de la Rosa,

Pero el hombre es invisible



Una Rosa sueno imposible

Una Rosa, no queda nada



I'll drink to you

The Rose Tattoo

I'm the invisible man

Long live the King

Nothing remains

Only a Rose Tattoo

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Please Read The Letter

(Robert Plant-Michael Lee-Jimmy Page-Charlie Jones)



Caught out running

With just a little too much to hide

Maybe baby

Everything's gonna work out fine

Please read the letter

I pinned it to your door

It's crazy how it all turned out

We needed so much more



Too late, too late

A fool could read the signs

Maybe baby

You'd better check between the lines

Please read the letter, I

Wrote it in my sleep

With help and consultation from

The angels of the deep



Once I stood beside a well of many words

My house was full of rings and

Charms and pretty birds

Please understand me, my

Walls come falling down

There's nothing here that's left for you

But check with lost and found



Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote



One more song just before we go

Remember baby

All the things

We used to know

Please read my letter

And promise you'll keep

The secrets and the memories and

Cherish in the deep



Ah...



Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote



Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

THE KINKS lyrics - Black Messiah

Everybody got the right to speak their mind

So don't shoot me for saying mine

Everybody talking about racial equality

'Cos everybody's equal in the good Lord's eyes

But if I told you that God was black

What would you think of that

I bet you wouldn't believe it



There's a self made prophet living right next to me

He said the Black Messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free

He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied

And he really believed it



He said a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire

And he no liar, 'cos he has truly heard the word

Everybody talk about racial equality

But I'm the only honky living on an all black street

They knock me down 'cos they brown and I white

Like you wouldn't believe it



They say a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire

A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world

Everybody talk about racial equality

Everybody talk about equal rights

But white's white, black's black and that's that

Everybody got the right to speak their mind

So don't shoot me for saying mine



Everybody talking about racial equality

You hear everybody talking about equal rights

But white's white, black's black and that's that

And that's the way you should leave it



Don't want no Black Messiah to come and set the world on fire

A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world

Everybody got to show a little give and take

Everybody got to live with a little less hate

Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out

Everybody got the right to speak their mind

So don't shoot me for saying mine

THE DOORS lyrics - Orange County Suite

Well I used to know someone fair

She had orange ribbons in her hair

She was such a trip

She was hardly there

But I loved her

Just the same.



There was rain in our window,

The FM set was ragged

But she could talk, yeah,

We learned to speak



And one year

Has gone by



Such a long long road to seek it

All we did was break and freak it

We had all

That lovers ever had

We just blew it

And I'm not sad



Well I'm mad



And I'm bad



And two years

Have gone by



Now her world was bright orange

And the fire glowed

And her friend had a baby

And she lived with us

Yeah, we broke through the window

Yeah, we knocked on the door

Her phone would not answer,

Yeah, but she's still home



Now her father has passed over

And her sister is a star

And her mother smokes diamonds

And she sleeps out in the car



Yeah, but she remembers Chicago

The musicians & guitars

And grass by the lake

And people who laugh'd

And made her poor heart ache



Now we live down in the valley

We work out on the farm

We climb up to the mountains

And everything's fine



And I'm still here

And you're still there

And we're still around

TOM WAITS lyrics - Fannin Street

(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)



There's a crooked street in Houston town,

It's a well born path I've traveled down

Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,

I wished I'd listened to the words you said.



Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down to Fannin Street



Once I held you in my arms, I was sure

But I took that silent stare through the guilded door

The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar,

I know this is where the sidewalk ends.



Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down to Fannin Street



When I was young I thought only of getting out

I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house

Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard,

And I rue the day that I stepped off this train.



Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

Don't go down to Fannin Street

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down to Fannin Street.

GARY MOORE lyrics - Fanatical Fascists

There's a new sensation

Playin' across the nation.

Just don't care, they just don't care.

They'll eat your heart out

Before you start out.

Just don't care, they just don't care.



Every dog will have its own way.

Throw out the old, bring in the new, they say.

Every dog will have its new day.

Just don't care, just don't care.



Fanatical fascists with Italian mustaches

Just don't care, they just don't care.

They'll beat your brains in

So stop your complaining.

Just don't care, they just don't care.



Your heart is leaning to the left,

But your hand in your pocket

It leads you to the right.

Your heart is leaning to the left,

But the fight is tonight.

The fight's tonight.



Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.



They just don't care, just don't care.

Just don't, just don't care.

Just don't, just don't care.

Just don't, just don't care.

Just don't, just don't care.



Just don't.

Just don't.



Just don't.

Just don't.

Just don't.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Tic, Tic, Tic

(Rafael De Leon)



[Chorus:]

Tic, tic, tic! Ev'rybody lookin'. Tic, tic, tic! See them all a-searchin'.

Tic, tic, tic! That's all they're hearin' but they couldn't find out where the watch was hiding.



What a confusion. A fellow lost his watch in a railway station. [Repeat]

An attractive girl named Melda was accused of being a burglar.

She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes, so where she hid the watch only goodness knows. And you hearing



[Chorus]



Under suspicion, they took her down to the police station

And they called on the matron who examined all the clothes she had on

The matron examined with care. She even made her take down her long hair.

She searched till she couldn't search no more but the watch now tickin' louder than before. And you hearing



[Chorus]



Confusion now in the station. The matron searching by inspiration.

Watch tickin' louder and louder and the matron moving up closer.

The matron convinced there's no doubt. She put her hand inside Melda's mouth.

Do you know her idea cam true? When she found the watch, it was ten to two. Still tickin'



[Chorus]

SPARKS lyrics - Reinforcements

(Ron & Russel Mael)



I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle

You wont tell me why the shrubbery moves

Or why there always has to be subterfusion

You wont even say "at ease"

After waging a costly siege

When a potentate ain't so potent in his state he

summons help fast

Unilaterally I withdraw

What was peace is now a grand coup detant

The Purple Heart for valour please

And no heart for you Denise

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

First the left flank, then the right

I'd sooner work the PX tonight



You intercept my S. O.S in order that no

news of my distress will ever reach the

homefront and about my camoflage,

well, it didnt work on you... in fact most

things they tell recruits never seem to do



Raise my rank if I should last

another night so tortuous

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I dont want a te-ta-tete

Reinforcements, reinforcements

Lets reach accord, and ink a pact

Then, pleace dismiss your regiment



Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

Reinforcements, reinforcements...

SADE lyrics - King Of Sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears

And there inside our private war

I died the night before

And all of these remnants of joy and disaster

What am I suppose to do



I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul

But nothing would change, nothing would change at all

It's just a day that brings it all about

Just another day and nothing's any good



The DJ's playing the same song

I have so much to do

I have to carry on

I wonder if this grief will ever let me go

I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah

The king of sorrow



I suppose I could just walk away

Will I disappoint my future if I stay

It's just a day that brings it all about

Just another day and nothing's any good



The DJ's playing the same song

I have so much to do

I have to carry on

I wonder will this grief ever be gone

Will it ever go

I'm the king of sorrow, yeah

The king of sorrow



I'm crying everyone's tears

I have already paid for all my future sins

There's nothing anyone

Can say to take this away

It's just another day and nothing's any good



I'm the king of sorrow, yeah

King of sorrow

I'm the king of sorrow, yeah

King of sorrow

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - My Oklahoma Home

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,

I wanted a place to call my own

And so I made the race, and staked me out a place,

And settled down along the Cimarron



It blowed away, it blowed away,

My Oklahoma home, it blowed away

It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,

But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away



I planted wheat and oats, got some chickens and some shoats,

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face

Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow

And got a fancy mortgage on the place



It blowed away, it blowed away,

All the crops I planted blowed away

You can't grow any grain if there isn't any rain;

All except the mortgage blowed away



It blowed away my rooster and it blowed away my hens;

The pigs and cattle went astray

All the crops that I sowed went a-foggin' down the road

My Oklahoma farm, it blowed away



It blowed away, it blowed away,

Everything I owned blowed away

I hollered and I cussed when my land went up in dust,

When my Oklahoma farm, it blowed away



It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,

I figured I was all set for life

I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest

And went to town and picked me out a wife



She blowed away, she blowed away

My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Just as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister;

My Oklahoma woman blowed away



Then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moan

Of the wind around the corners of my shack;

So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed,

A-travelin' with the wind at my back



I blowed away, I blowed away

Chasin' a dust cloud up ahead

Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;

My Oklahoma farm is overhead



Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam,

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere

Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'

I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air



It blowed away, it blowed away,

My Oklahoma home blowed away

But my home is always near; it's in the atmosphere,

My Oklahoma home that blowed away



I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home

And I'll never get homesick 'til I die

No matter where I'm found, my home is all around;

My Oklahoma home is in the sky



It blowed away, it blowed away,

My farm down upon the Cimarron

But all around the world, wherever dust is whirled,

Some is from my Oklahoma home



[Spare Tire Chorus:]

It blowed away, it blowed away,

My Oklahoma home blowed away

Oh it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by,

My Oklahoma home is in the sky

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Big Blue Ball Of War

In 1914 this ball was at war

It went from Belgium on through Ireland

The Congo, then back home



This big blue ball of war spun on its own

Spinning history in lines of blood

When many souls fell off



[Chorus:]

We all ride on (we all ride)

This big blue ball of war

Souls with tickets through the veil

We all ride on

We all ride on (we all ride)

This big blue ball of war

We choose to spin around and ride

This big blue ball of war



Almost a century, the blood has flowed

We've killed our men of peace around this ball

And refused to hear their ghosts



We spend our destinies in deeds of hate

Humanity upon this ball

Is just a bloody fall from grace



[Chorus]



A reformation might just save us all

A voice of harmony and open heart

Where the women teach the song



These men of evil deed can be proven wrong

If we join hand to hand with Abraham

So not a soul falls off



[Chorus]

STEVE PERRY lyrics - Foolish Heart

(Perry, Goodrum)



I need a love that grows

I don't want it unless I know

With each passing hour

Someone somehow

Will be there, ready to share



I need a love that's strong

I'm so tired of being alone

But will my lonely heart play the part

Of the fool again

Before I begin



Foolish heart, hear me calling

Stop before you start falling

Foolish heart, heed my warning

You've been wrong before

Don't be wrong any more



I'm feeling that feeling again

I'm playing a game I can't win

Love's knocking on the door

Of my heart once more

Think I'll let her in

Before I begin



Foolish heart, hear me calling

Stop before you start falling

Foolish heart, heed my warning

You've been wrong before

Don't be wrong any more



Foolish heart

Foolish, foolish heart

You've been wrong before



Foolish heart, hear me calling

Stop before you start falling

Foolish heart, heed my warning

You've been wrong before

Don't be wrong any more



Foolish heart

Oh, foolish, foolish heart

You've been wrong before

Foolish, foolish heart

MOODY BLUES lyrics - Driftwood

Just like the driftwood of a dream

Left of the seashore of sleep

Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme

Lost in the desert of time

Time waits for no one at all

No, not even you

You thought you'd seen it all before

You really thought you knew



I don't remember what was said

In the confusion that night

I only know what's on my mind

What's in the future we will decide

Time waits for no one at all

No, not even you

You thought you'd seen it all before

You really thought you knew



I've shattered the illusion

Of fortune and of fame

But darling now I know you

Life could never be the same

Oh no... don't leave me driftwood

On the shore



Time waits for no one my love

No, not even you

You thought you'd seen it all before

You really thought you knew



I've shattered the illusion

Of forture and of fame

I'm waking up

I'm reaching up

I'm getting up from this game

Oh no... don't leave me driftwood

On the shore

Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood

On the shore...

LOU REED lyrics - Old Poe

[Old Poe:]



As I look back on my life

If I could have the glorious moment

The wondrous opportunity to comprehend

The chance to see my younger self

One time

To converse

To hear his thoughts

HEART lyrics - Lighter Touch

Look at me, the answer is so clear

Lying close by the fire place

I wish that you could see yourself this way

My love, with the firelight upon your face.



Ain't it strange how love put things together?

One like you, someone like me.

But no one ever moved me like the way you do

And held against you, love I am weak, oh yeah



Before us now, the dream of love is playin'

A butterfly risin' from the flame

You and me don't need no chain

Since this feeling came to us

A touch of love, a lighter touch



This touch of love, this lighter touch,

Than hands of love through time

Reaching up to have and to hold you

But you know I'll always stay If I

Am free to go. You know I'll take

Your love into my soul. Be lighter

Touch of love this lighter, lighter

Lighter touch

JACK SCOTT lyrics - Burning Bridges

(Walter Scott)



Found some letters you wrote me this morning

They told of the love we once knew

Now they're gone I burned them to ashes

Don't want nothing to remind me of you



Burning bridges behind me

It's too late to turn back now

Burning bridges behind me

All I want is to forget you somehow



Sold the house we once planned together

Said goodbye to the folks we once knew

Then I moved to a far away city

Tried so hard to forget about you



Burning bridges behind me

It's too late to turn back now

Burning bridges behind me

All I want is to forget you somehow

SANTANA lyrics - Peace On Earth... Mother Earth... Third Stone From The Sun

Hey everybody

Let's lend a hand

‘Cause there's no tomorrow

Unless we take a stand



I see the future

Sliiping away

So I feel the need

To make a better way



You know my mother

She's your mother too

‘Cause this here planet

Gave birth to me and you



I got the feeling

That you'll understand

When we say let's do it

Save the mother earth

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Burnin' Up

Don't put me off cuz I'm on fire

And I can't quench my desire

Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love

You ain't convinced that that is enough

I put myself in this position

And I deserve the imposition

But you don't even know I'm alive

And there's something in my heart that won't die

I'm burnin' up



I'm burnin' up

I'm burnin' up

I'm burnin' up

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - SLY

(Music: Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker / Lyrics: Klaus Meine)



She was born with a song in the air

In the summer of 85

The clouds just went and the day became so bright

A child of love angel like

With the most beautiful smile

Growing up to be the sunshine of my life



Come talk to me

Don't run away

Don't let the distance grow

The door's wide open

Don't ever think

There is no way home



Sly come home tonight

The world is so bad you're drive 'em all mad

With your smile

Sly my joy and pride

When the runaway train took you away

A part of me died



The years went by like the summer of love

So much changed in our lives

They're too may scars deep under my skin

Love turned to hate and hate to love

Let's start all over again

And now I wonder what life will bring



Just let us laugh

The tears away

No more hard feelings no

Cause after all

You're my flesh and blood

I don't want you to fall



Sly come home tonight

The world is so bad you're drive 'em all mad

With your smile

Sly my joy and pride

When the runaway train took you away

A part of me died

AMERICA lyrics - Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

You steal and you think that it's right

Like a thief in the night

Ah, oh yeah

I'll tell you it's true

You come around with your stories to tell

I don't hold no int'rest

But I let you go

I know you've fallen under his spell

Don't let him kill you

He'll only fill you with lies

You're a fool and you know it

Done your best not to show it

But it's all over

You're through

Jet Boy Blue

He'll only take you for a ride

Only cost you your pride

Jet Boy Blue



Stop, stop while you're still ahead

You've got a lot to learn

You're still so young

Listen to what your mama said



Try to tell you go to hell

You're just a kid

Don't take no advice, you never think twice

Close the door

Jump in, don't mention what you did



Stop, stop while you're still ahead

You've got a lot to learn

You're still so young

Listen to what your mama said



You're a fool and you know it

Done your best not to show it

But it's all over

You're through

Jet Boy Blue

He'll only take you for a ride

Only cost you your pride

Jet Boy Blue



Stop, stop while you're still ahead

You've got a lot to learn

You're still so young

Listen to what your mama said



Jet Boy Blue

You steal and you think that it's right

Like a thief in the night



Wo, Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue

Jet Boy Blue...

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - Rocketship

Fly to the moon

We'll take my rocketship

It's outta sight

Oh so outta sight

Leave your head

Check into this time

Check your mind

Let your sparkle shine



Pass the sun

Say goodbye to everyone

We'll fall in love

As we pass the sun

Hang from a star

Forget just who we are

It's outta sight

Oh so outta sight

From the moon

To the stars

To the sun

Baby i'm in love

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Silent Night

Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, All is bright

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child

Holy Infant so Tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.



Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight!

Glories stream from heaven afar;

Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!

Christ the Saviour is born!

Christ the Saviour is born!



Silent night, holy night!

Wondrous star, lend thy light!

With the angels let us sing

Alleluia to our King!

Christ the Saviour is here,

Jesus the Saviour is here!



Silent night, Holy night!

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord at thy birth;

Jesus Lord at thy birth.

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - I'm Carrying

By dawn's first light i'll come back to your room again

With my carnation hidden by the packages

I'm carrying, something

I'm carrying something for you

Ah, long time no see baby sure has been a while

And if my reappearance lacks a sense of style

I'm carrying, something

I'm carrying something for you



I'm carrying.

I'm carrying, can't help it.



I'm carrying.

I'm carrying something for you.

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - This Life

Oh Father, it's me your friend

I feel so good inside, I'm on the mend

I broke this fever, it's a cryin' shame

We live and die, and then we live again!



This life is beautiful

This life is magical

This life is built on trust

And I just want to get on the bus



Why do I have to work so hard?



I've been livin' for this life

Livin' for this life



Oh Mother, thank you for my life

You've always been right there by my side

Just like the footprints in the sand

You make me see, you make me understand



Thank you for the morning sun

The crystal lake, another dawn

The mountain high, the valley low

The river wide, the falling snow

The happiness you gave to me

The love you give so endlessly

And you will live inside of me

Now I'm the proudest son you see!

TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - I Will Not Take These Things For Granted

One part of me just wants to tell you everything

One part just needs the quiet

And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here

And on the telephone

You offer reassurance



I will not take these things for granted



How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry

It needs a strength I haven't found

But if it's frightening, I'll bear the cold

And on the telephone

You offer warm asylum



I'm listening

Flowers in the garden

Laughter in the hall

Children in the park

I will not take these things for granted

Anymore



To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me

To feel this accepting

That it is lonely here, but not alone

And on the telephone

You offer visions dancing



I'm listening

Music in the bedroom

Laughter in the hall

Dive into the ocean

Singing by the fire

Running through the forest

And standing in the wind

In rolling canyons



I will not take these things for granted

NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics - The Janitor's Boy

(Nathalia Crane (1913 - 1998))



Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy,

And the janitor's boy loves me;

He's going to hunt for a desert isle

In our geography.



A desert isle with spicy trees

Somewhere near Sheepshead Bay;

A right nice place, just fit for two

Where we can live alway.



Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy,

He's busy as he can be;

And down in the cellar he's making a raft

Out of an old settee.



He'll carry me off, I know that he will,

For his hair is exceedingly red;

And the only thing that occurs to me

Is to dutifully shiver in bed.



The day that we sail, I shall leave this brief note,

For my parents I hate to annoy:

"I have flown away to an isle in the bay

With the janitor's red-haired boy."

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Gonna Keep On Trying Till I Win Your Love

(Duh-da-da-da, Duh-da-da-da, Duh-da-da-da-da-da-da)



Like the birds in the trees, my heart sings a rhapsody of love for you.

Girl, you won my heart the very first time I layed eyes on you.

I know your love belongs to someone else.

But girl, I got to have you for myself.



So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo.

Gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo.



A fallen star that's what you are, from the heavens above.

There's no treasure on earth, that can match your worth.

You're a picture of love.

I know to you I'm just a love sick guy.

But you're wrong.

I love ya and I need you, by my side.



So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo.

I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo.



Aw, yeah.

Baby.

Keep on.



I can't help but thinkin' 'bout that guy. (?)

He jus' got you by his side.

He's got everything.

There's is no inch of his happiness to be in his place.

I'll be glad to give you anything.

I know your love belongs to him.

But girl, I can't be satisfied jus' being your friend.



So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo.

Gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love.

Everyday, baby.

Gonna keep on trying, got to just keep on trying till I win your love.

No matter what it takes.

I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love.

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Seven Years

Haven't seen the sun for seven days

November's got her nails dug in deep

Haven't seen my son for seven years

And the chances are we'll never again meet



If truth be told I don't even know his name

If truth be told he doesn't even know my name



I spend my spare time with my rosary beads

Although I never learnt to pray

But you don't need the light

And it's best to pretend

That you've seen the errors of your ways



The darkness in here

Is as heavy as a judgement

This darkness, heavy as a judgement



My dreams are now filled with Gilead trees

And other sights that I've never seen

They used to be filled

With the fears of tomorrow

And the horror that it might bring



His eyes felt to me

As cold as a stone mason's chisel

His eyes fell on me, cold

Like a stone mason's chisel



Strange how a mind can always recall

What the senses eagerly leave behind

I can remember his face, rage,

Disgust and distaste

But to my fear I have grown blind



Memories are just dead men making trouble

This memory is just a dead man making trouble

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Keep Me In Your Heart

(Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderon)



Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath

Keep me in your heart for awhile



If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less

Keep me in your heart for awhile



When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun

Keep me in your heart for awhile



There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sometimes when you're doing simple things

around the house

Maybe you'll think of me and smile



You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on

your blouse

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams

Touch me as I fall into view

When the winter comes keep the fires lit

And I will be right next to you



Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream

Keep me in your heart for awhile



These wheels keep turning but they're running out

of steam

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Keep me in your heart for awhile

CHICAGO lyrics - Here With Me (A Candle For The Dark)

We rode the train,

From paris to the cold atlantic shore.

The winter rain

Kept us in each others arms until the dawn,

Do you remember?

Faster than the sun,

Flying higher than everyone.

Like a dream too good to last,

I won't regret the past.



Here with me,

Deep down in my soul now and forever.

A candle for the dark, I need you

Here with me,

A story with an unexpected end.



The morning plane,

Through empty doors a mountain in the sky.

Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast

Another light.

Do you remember?

We have no common ground,

Treasure lost will not be found.

We can blame our wild at heart,

From now until the start.



Here with me,

Deep down in my soul now and forever,

A candle for the dark I need you,

Here with me,

A story with an unexpected end.



Remember feelings I have known,

And chasing dreams I've never done,

We're losing let us walk away,

Hold me in your arms before you go.



Here with me,

Deep down in my soul now and forever.

A candle for the dark, I need you

Here with me,

A story with an unexpected end.



Everywhere I go you're here with me.
