BEE GEES lyrics - I Could Not Love You More
Now that we're alone no more hide and seek
You are the highest dream to me and as you softly sleep
Then I can tell you what it means
Locked in my arms like lovers lie
I will not let you slip away
Is this the summer of them all, is this my night of nights
That you came to stay
Here you are, owner of my heart
Just the way that love should be
And there is something I must say to you
If you promise to believe that it's you I'm living for
And I could not love you more
Seasons may come and season go
But these are the truest words I know
Face to face, eye to eye
This is the summer of our lives
One love that cannot die
Here you are, owner of my soul
Never let you say goodbye
And there is something I must say to you
We leave the world outside
And you have come to me at last, we start
Open up your heart, let my deepest love inside
I'm only doing what I have to do
If you promise to believe that it's you I'm living for
And I could not love you more
ROGER HODGSON lyrics - Love Is A Thousand Times
Love, love is a thousand times
Stronger than me, stronger than you
Well if you want to be a soldier
o marching off to war
You think you're going to be a hero
But we've heard it all before, boy
Love, love is a thousand times
Dearer than me, dearer than you
Well if you want to be a leader,
Then go and lead the way
You're never going to give us freedom
-no matter what you say, boy
-I said it'd better come soon...
La-La-La
'Cause love-love is the way
If only we all could hear,
It just seems so clear
I just can't believe
-watching the world what am I seeing?
But I know there's a way
-oh there must be a way
Oh there must come day
come a time when I can be free...
'Cause I want to hear her voice
Softer than me, softer than you
Whatever will it take me
To bring her smile my way
'Cause everytime I try to please her,
She loves to go in hiding
-I said she'd better come soon...
TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - All Mixed Up
(Tom Petty and Mike Campbell)
I'm all mixed up, I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah, it's having the effekt on me, pullin' and directin' me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
And no I can't find no I can't find no reason
To explain the way that I feel
I remember things being clearer
At one time things were more real
Honey, I'm all mixed up, I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah it's having the effekt on me, pullin' and directin' me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(Bridge)
I'm not lookin' for sympathy
I'm just frightened by this aparthy
Like footsteps way in back of me
On a narrow street of stone
I'm all mixed up, I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
And if time will answer all questions
Then perhaps a film will be shown
Everyone could mail-order tickets
Yeah, you could sell a lot of shirts
For the last picture show
Baby, I'm all mixed up, I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
It's like something is testing me, pullin' and directin' me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Dreamers
Dreamers have mountains they will climb
There are dreamers who don't believe in time
Only dreamers have worlds where they can fly far away.
Certain dreamers have kingdoms they will build,
Filled with treasures and dragons to be killed
Only dreamers have wings with which to fly far away.
Some people dream of being rich,
While others dream of being tall
And there are people who don't dream at all.
Dreamers have shooting stars they chase,
There are others with nightmares they must face.
Sometimes dreamers are forced to leave their dreams far away.
And there are people who don't dream at all.
Sometimes you need to take the time
To find treasures and mountains we can climb.
And maybe we dream to change the way that we feel,
'Cause to dreamers the real world can be unreal.
JIMMY REED lyrics - You Don't Have To Go
(Jimmy Reed)
Whoa, baby
You don't have ta go
Whoa, baby
You don't have ta go
I'm gonna pack up darlin'
Down the road I go
Well now, I give you all my money
Then ya go downtown,
An' you get back in the evenin'
Told me, walked down town
Whoa baby, you don't have ta go
I'm gonna pack up darlin'
Down the road I go
Whoa baby, honey what's wrong wich' you?
Whoa baby, honey what's wrong wich' you?
Well you don't treat me darlin', like you used to do
DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion)
I gotta know right now
It's got to be this time
I wanna show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes
I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby c'mon
Stand up for love
I'm gonna play your game
I wanna play with fire
I want to breathe your air
Baby, gonna take you there
If you lay your cards on the table
I'll lay my love on the line
Till you're mine
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
You couldn't get it much better
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when you're ready to
You're gonna get what you should
Little by little
Like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Step by step
Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
What a way to go
[Repeat Chorus]
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms
And show me what you found
Stand up, kick love into motion
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Stand up, yeah, kick love into motion
I said step by step
Go easy, go slow
Stand up, yeah,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Yeah, on a stairway to heaven
What a way to go, stand up
THE BANGLES lyrics - Bell Jar
She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar.
She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar.
She seems so at home
She's never alone
But she's oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free.
Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world (this world)
It's complicated
Living in a bell jar
And she suffocated
Living in a bell jar.
Bell jar
Bell jar.

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Take Up A Course In Happiness
When life reaches out and takes you
On an unpleasent ride
And your bridge of dreams comes
Tumblin' down
Don't let your bed of sorrow
Ever conquer your pride
Remember there's always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile
And when your optimism
Has a set back or two
And you feel all your tryin's in vain
(Your heart's in the rain)
Don't give up the hope that's due you
Just to study your doubt
Remember there's always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile
[Repeat three times]
GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
You tell me that you're leaving
I can't believe it's true
Boy, that's just no living without you
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
'Cause if you go then I'll be blue
Breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you
Don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love
Just one more try
Come on baby
Let's start anew
Breakin' up is hard to do
Breakin' up is oh so hard to do

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Feel Alright
(Steve Earle)
I was born my papa's son
A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun
Now some of you would live through me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
Hope that I'll just go away
I feel alright - I feel alright tonight
I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines and
Conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
I got every thing you wont or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Be careful what you wish for friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Millworker
(James Taylor)
Now my grandfather was a sailor,
He blew in off the water
My father was a farmer
I, his only daughter,
Took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
Who dies from too much whiskey
And leaves me these three faces to feed
Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard
Millwork, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
I'm waiting for a day dream
To take me through the morning
And put me in my coffee break
Where I can have a sandwich and remember
Then it's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander
To the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me,
Swingin' on his arm
I can hear my grand-dad's stories
Of the storms out on Lake Erie
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
And sailor's lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted,
And I have been the fool
To let this manufacture use my body for a tool.
I can ride home in the evening,
Staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
Ought to stand a better chance
So may I work the mills
Just as long as I am able
And never meet the man whose
Name is on the label
It be me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life
STATUS QUO lyrics - Not Fade Away
(Petty/Hardin)
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Love is love, and not fade away
Love is love, and not fade away
My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it but you drive me back
Your love for me has gotta be real
For you to know just how I feel
And not fade away, not fade away
Not fade away
My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it but you drive me back
Love to last more than one day
Love is love and not fade away
Said, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
Love is love, and not fade away
Love is love, and not fade away
Not fade away, it won't fade away
CHICAGO lyrics - You're The Inspiration
(P. Cetera/D. Foster)
You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
CHORUS:
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring felling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more that I need you
And i know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And i know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul
CHORUS
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Anyone But Me
(Simon/Baker/Kimball)
Straight from the hall of fame
One of the worlds great lovers
Darling you're not to blame
I'm just sorry that you've been discovered
When I look in you eyes
I know hundreds of girls have been there
I tried to be civilized
And pretend I don't care
Take me away, burn out the past
And hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
That you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
Breathless and overcome
Knowin' my desire is showing
Passion can make you dumb
But does so much to keep you going
Turn off the songs of the past romance and
Hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
that you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
With too many options
You spin like a top
you spin like a top - until you drop
But now that you've dropped I'm gonna pick you up
And love you until we just can't stop
And love you until we just can't stop

RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Down With The King
[Chorus:]
Down with the king for years, about ten of 'em
Recruiting suckers, Mac and Mike, and makin' men of 'em
Tears and fears for my peers, they rippin'
You think that it is, it is, if not it isn't
Race for the border my daughter, 'cause beats you're bangin' out
Jeeps rockin' beats in the streets when there's time for hangin' out
Gather, or rather form a circle around a loud
'cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd
Is it because he's runnin' off with the mouth
Or was he really clearly tryin' to play a nigga out
Nope, shut him down, the king with a crown
'cause all you wanna be is dicky down
[Chorus]
[CL Smooth]
Two years ago, a friend of mine
Asked me to say some MC rhymes
So I said this rhyme I'm about to say
The rhyme was meeca, and it went this way
Wrecka lecka mecca mic check on the windmill skills
Mac distracts, wearing Godfather hats
It's okay to parlay to fortee better
Tell 'em my nigga made a sweater tougher than leather
Swing another Rodney King thing in our right
But just like the white one I get no respect
Money stay awake, 'cause them other niggas are fake
From Hollis to the Becon, now your dumb ass is leakin'
C. L. and Run DMC so rush it
Big time way before Hammer got to touch it
Remember the faces in all types of places
Look Ma, no shoelaces
And I'm....
[Chorus]
I'm takin' the tours, I'm wreckin' the land
I keep it hardcore because it's dope man
These are the roughest toughest words I ever wrote down
Not mean for a hoe like a slow jam, check it
Sucka emcees could never swing with D
Because of all the things that I bring with me
Only G-O-D could be a king to me
And if the G-O-D be in me, then the king I be
The microphone is granted when it's handed to me
I was planted on this planet and I plan to emcee
The emcee fiends only seem to agree
That I rock all the world and the society
I rages on the stages with a tune of verse
I get praises from these pages to the universe
My voice is raw, my lyrics is law
I keep it hardcore like you never saw
[Chorus]
[Pete Rock]
I'm the man you see, in the place to be
I went to John Jay University
And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge
And after twelve grade I went straight to college
Down with the kings on the mic, a full swinger
The P to the R, not an R&B singer
The R to the U-N-D-MC'n
The fly human beings, tonight I hold the key and
Flowin' with the funk track, here to soul brother black
Pick up the bass, better yet leave a space
So let me put my big black??? on in to the early mornin'
Had skins doanin'
Mecca? (yo) you want the mecca? (yo)
I'll make a funky beat so we can blow, check it out
Pete Rock's the beat knock, put you in a headlock
And now all the outty out flock is down with the king

THE BYRDS lyrics - I Knew I'd Want You
(Clark)
I'd like to love you, with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new, just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I meet so many people, I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you, when you said hello
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Into The Sands Of Time
Gone
So far gone - but you won't admit it
I've tried so long - but you always break us down
I been holdin out - a way to redeem it
But I don't know how - it eludes me
You always bring it on
I'm so tired of all this misery you're inflicting
Ready to walk away
Into the sands of time
We sail across that line
On the edge
So far down - aah you're pushin me over
Reachin out - but you won't let it go
I tell myself - it can't last forever
Gotta work it out - you're killin me
You always bring it on
I'm so tired of all this misery you're inflicting
Ready to walk away
Into the sands of time
We sail across that line
Into the sands of time
We sail across that line
Cold
So damn cold - I can't believe it
We're growin old - just-a hammerin days away
It's all goin south - but it don't matter
Cuz I'm leavin now - I'm 108!
You always bring it on
I'm so tired of all this misery you're inflicting
Ready to walk away
Into the sands of time
We sail across that line
Into the sands of time
We sail across that line
THE HOLLIES lyrics - I Shall Be Released
(Dylan)
They say every thing must be replaced
They say every distance is not near
Yet I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
[Chorus:]
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Standin next to me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shoutin so loud
Cryin' out that he was framed
[Chorus]
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
MOTORHEAD lyrics - Bad Religion
Thou who wouldst make us devils
Thou shalt not poison me
The world hath been persuaded to believe thy heresy
I spit in the eye of Satan
And I will spit in thine
The devils that surround thee
Liveth only in thine eye
Bad Religion, Bad Religion
I need no gods or devils, I need no pagan rights
Bad religion, Bad religion
I need no burning crosses to illuminate my nights
HEY, HEY, You hear me now
You hear me now
HEY, HEY, For thou art Judas
The mark of Cain be on thy brow
Evangelistic Nazis, you cannot frighten me
The name you take in vain shall judge you for eternity
I spit in the eye of Satan
Spit right in your eye too
You are the spooks you're chasing
You know not what you do
Bad religion, Bad religion
I know you lie, I know you lie
Bad religion, Bad religion
Thieves and liars
Cross my heart I hope you die
If there be such a being
Then thou art Anti-christ
Turn men against their children
Turn beauty into vice
I say thy God shall smite thee
He will perceive thy lust
His wrath shall fall upon thee
Thou that betray his thrust
Bad religion, Bad religion
I say that thou art liars, Thy souls shall not be saved
Bad religion, Bad religion
Here are the days of thunder, The days that thou hast made
HEY, HEY
Base seducers, I see thy greed
HEY, HEY
I am more fit for glory, Than any ten of thee

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - Lord Of The Street
(Winwood/Walden/Capaldi)
When the night comes rollin' and the day is through
Then I come strollin' down that avenue
Baby, I got what no one can give you - all my lovin'
All the guys wanna get down with you
But there ain't no one that's got my rhythm
'Cause I'm the lord of the street, no one can compete with my love for you
Said I'm the lord of the street, you got the kinda heat brings me close to you
Oh, I can't get enough of it, let me dance for you
When I start movin' you'll be dancing too
You and I gonna rock together, our hearts are burning
We'll take on all kinds of weather
Girl, this night's gonna last forever
The power to love someone up above is good to me
He's got the kinda love the helps me to see
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Dead Or Alive
(Woody Guthrie)
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter
Yes the new sheriff sent me a letter
He said, "Come up and see me dead or alive,
Come up and see me dead or alive".
Well it's a hard road dead or alive
It's a hard road dead or alive
Well it's a hard road dead or alive
It's a hard road dead or alive
Well I really don't like your hard rock hotel (yeah) sheriff
Well I really don't like your hard rock hotel, sheriff
Dead or alive, no sheriff
Dead or alive, no sheriff
Well it's a hard road dead or alive
And it's a hard road dead or alive
And it's a hard road dead or alive
And it's a hard road dead or alive
Well he even sent me my picture
(Oh yeah, and hello)
He even sent me my picture
(Yeah yeah)
Hey, how do I look boy (wonderful)
Dead or alive?
How do I look boy (sweet) dead or alive?
It's a hard road dead or alive
It's a hard road dead or alive
Well, it's a hard road dead or alive
And it's a hard road dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

ASIA lyrics - Showdown
(Lynne)
She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's rainin all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown
Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's rainin all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight the longest night
FRANKIE VALLI lyrics - My Eyes Adored You
[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
THE BANGLES lyrics - Tearing Off Your Own Head
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
(Only you do)
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline
(Only you do)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
(It looks so real)
But one won't do it so collect the set
Dress him up in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
(How does this feel?)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Old Time Rock And Roll
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music aln 't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today' music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
KENNY ROGERS lyrics - Calling Me
There's a back road leadin' off the hard-top
Half-a-mile past the slingshot tree
Wanders round through a million mem'ries
It's callin' me, callin' me.
There's a white house with fading shutters
The old front door that never needed a key
An' I hear my Momma in the hush of the evenin'
Callin' me, yeah, she's callin' me.
An' no matter where I'm goin'
It reminds me of where I'm from
Just as long as I can hear it
I know I'm not too far gone.
There's a first kiss under the willow
Love so honest, it was hard to believe
An' even when my heart is breakin'
It's callin' me, callin' me.
Yes, it's callin' me
(Ooh, yeah, yeah.)
Callin' me, callin' me.
An' no matter where I'm goin'
It reminds me of where I'm from
Just as long as I can hear it
I know I'm not too far gone.
There's a tiny country chapel
Filled with voices singin' harmony
An' when my soul is lost in the silence
Oh, it's callin'; yes, it's callin' me.
Yes it's callin' me.
(Callin' me.)
Callin'
Oh, it's callin'
Yes, it's callin' me...

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Going Down To Cuba
Sometimes I get to feeling low
Wish I could just pick up and go somewhere new
Change my point of view
Maybe somewhere I don't know
Toss the idea to and fro
Not sure what makes it come and go
There it is again: sweet music on the wind
Over the Gulf of Mexico
I'm going to down to Cuba someday soon
Following that Caribbean moon
It's been too long since I've been there
I'm going down to Cuba with my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where women wear gardenias in their hair
People will tell you it's not easy
You're not supposed to go, they say
They say that Cuba is the enemy
I'm going down there anyway
I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
No problem is too difficult to solve
Yeah times are tough down there it's true
But you know they're going to make it through
They make such continuous use of the verb to resolve
They've got to deal with that embargo
Enough to drive any country insane
They might not know the things you and I know
They do know what to do in a hurricane
Maybe I'll go through Mexico
Old Jesse Helms don't have to know
Anyway all the allies of the USA
Travel to Cuba everyday
I'm going down to Cuba to see my friends
Down where the rhythm never ends
Where by comparison my trouble will just unravel
I'm North American, you know
Don't like to hear where I can't go
Free people will insist on the freedom to travel
I'm going to drink the rum mojito
And walk out on the Malecon
In one hand a Monte Cristo
And in the other an ice cream cone
I'm going down to Cuba with my band
We're going to formulate a plan
Whereby we obtain that cultural permission
If I told you once I told you thrice
It'll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a Soviet transmission
I bet the country cast a spell
And there are things I think of still
Like the beauty of that woman that spoke to me
In the Hotel Nacional
I'm gonna book my flight today
I'm definitely on my way
Just hold my place and I'll get back in the race
And I'm back in the USA
JOE COCKER lyrics - Letting Go
You can look away
But you can't disguise
The light that shines so brightly
Is gone from your eyes
It wasn't my mistake
It's nothing you did wrong
Sometimes learning to surrender
Is the same as being strong
Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Oh but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
Yeah
As we walk away
Leaving it all behind
I hope we will be satisfied
With what we'll find
And if it's not all you want
I hope it's good enough
To make it worth
The precious things
We're giving up
Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Hey but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
Sometimes late at night
I can't believe the things I hear
An angel comes to me
And whispers in my ears
Saying there's a time to read
And a time of the soul
A time for holding on
And a time
Just for
Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Girl but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
I'd like to wish you well
Oh but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
Oh
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Dark Hand Over My Heart
(Richard Thompson)
Becky loved me and I let her
Wish I could have loved her better
On the day we pulled apart
She primed a time-bomb in my heart
Now there's a shadow hiding
Now there's a horseman riding
Lover of all broken things
Standing waiting in the wings
Sometimes I wonder why I love and let it die
Can't give, can't live just to hold back, hold back
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
You call me fraud and faker
You call me user, taker
You say I throw you scraps
Prove my strength by holding back
But I shine my honour brightly
Swear my allegiance nightly
But through my hands it slips
The same old demons paint their lips
Sometimes I wonder why I love and let it die
I can't give, I can't live just to hold back, hold back
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
Oh there's a dark hand, there's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
DIO lyrics - Double Monday
When you're alone and the sun's gone down
One more time
Must you prentend that some light still shines
Sounds like double Monday
Yeah
Each time you think that you've just begun
It's the end
Oh, someone you love wants to just be friends
Sounds like double Monday
Yeah
Feels like snakes and spiders
Crawling up your body
Every someday double Monday
Like a fly against the wall
Just when you think you've seen it all you
You lose your special place to hide
So get ready for the ride, ride, ride
Yeah
Every someday double Monday
ROY ORBISON lyrics - End Of The Line
(Roy Orbison/Bob Dylan/George Harrison/Jeff Lynne/Tom Petty)
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long s you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgment day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple Haze
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied
Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

DAVID CROSBY lyrics - What Are Their Names
(David Crosby, Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh and Michael Shrieve)
[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]
I wonder who they are
The men who really run this land
And I wonder why they run it
With such a thoughtless hand
What are their names
And on what streets do they live
I'd like to ride right over
This afternoon and give
Them a piece of my mind
About peace for mankind
Peace is not an awful lot to ask
[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitars)]

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Valentine's Day
(Steve Earle)
I come to you with empty hands
I guess I just forgot again
I only got my love to send
On Valentine's Day
I ain't got a card to sign
Roses have been hard to find
I only hope that you'll be mine
On Valentine's Day
I know that I swore that I wouldn't forget
I wrote it all down: I lost it I guess
There's so much I want to say
But all the words just slip away
The way you love me every day
Is Valentine's Day
If I could I would deliver to you
Diamonds and gold; it's the least I can do
So if you'll take my IOU
I could make it up to you
Until then I hope my heart will do
For Valentine's Day
SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Early In The Morning
(Robbie van Leeuwen)
Early in the morning I went home to you.
Early in the morning I went home to you.
I've been on the road for a long, long time,
But now I'm coming on to make you mine.
I'll love you so
Till the end of time.
Early in the morning I went home to you.
Early in the morning I went home to you.
Can I beg a change away from me?
When you give an eye I feel so weak.
You make me move
From hair to knee.
Early in the morning I went home to you.
Early in the morning I went home to you.
Early in the morning
Went, ah, went, ah, went home to you.

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - What You Won't Do For Love
(Bobby Caldwell)
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do

THE DEAD KENNEDYS lyrics - We've Got A Bigger Problem Now
Last call for alcohol.
Last call for your freedom of speech.
Drink up. Happy hour is now enforced by law.
Don't forget our house special, it's called a Trickie Dickie Screwdriver.
It's got one part Jack Daniels, two parts purple Kool-Aid,
and a jigger of formaldehyde
from the jar with Hitler's brain in it we got in the back storeroom.
Happy trails to you. Happy trails to you.
I am Emperor Ronald Reagan
Born again with fascist cravings
Still, you made me president
Human rights will soon go 'way
I am now your Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you're going to pray in school
I'll make sure they're Christian too
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Ku Klux Klan will control you
Still you think it's natural
Nigger knockin' for the master race
Still you wear the happy face
You closed your eyes, can't happen here
Alexander Haig is near
Vietnam won't come back you say
Join the army or you will pay
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Yeah, that's it. Just relax.
Have another drink, few more pretzels, little more MSG.
Turn on those Dallas Cowboys on your TV.
Lock your doors. Close your mind.
It's time for the two-minute warning.
Welcome to 1984
Are you ready for the third world war?!?
You too will meet the secret police
They'll draft you and they'll jail your niece
You'll go quitely to boot camp
They'll shoot you dead, make you a man
Don't you worry, it's for a cause
Feeding global corporations' claws
Die on our brand new poison gas
El Salvador or Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan
And all the friends of President Reagan
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
THE CROSS lyrics - Feel The Force
(Roger Taylor)
You can touch but you don't feel
Now you ain't deaf but you don't hear
You can hurt but you can't heal
Though you ain't blind you still can't see
Oh learn to feel
You can raise your hand but you can't reach
You can pray and you can preach
Lift up your voice no words come out
No matter how you jump and shout
Oh let it out
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
And if you think there's no escape - now listen
Just when you think you're trapped
You must be strong
Cos who's to tell you just what's right or wrong
Your mortal mind will show you
Just which road to travel on
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
Feel the force
Feel the force
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
I want you to feel
I want you to feel
Feel the force
GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Murder On Music Row
Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.
The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang (oh, you tell them Alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.
[Chorus:]
For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock 'n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.
They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I'll still buy 'em)
Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder's been committed down on music row.
[Chorus:]
Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play
With drums and rock 'n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There's been an awful murder down on music row.
ISAAC HAYES lyrics - Going In Circles
(Jerry Peters, Anita Poree)
I'm an ever rollin' wheel
Without a destination real
I'm an ever spinning top
Whirling around till I drop
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
I'm spun out over you
(Over you, over you, over you)
Over you, over you
I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
Lord, when I feel that way
Of my soul, my soul at stake
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
I'm spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Oh, baby (Baby)
I'm spun out (I need you, baby)
I said I'm spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Baby, baby
(I need you, baby) I'm spun out
(I need you, baby)

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Death In America
Who shot the President
Who pulled the plug
Our truth and justice
Swept under the rug
Just like a time bomb
Gonna explode
A new reality
Watch it corrode
Just another
Death in America
Another incident
Media lies
Our killers walk the streets
Where time alibis
So much you're taught
Who says
Crime doesn't pay
Who runs the syndicate
Who's in the shade
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Death in America
I shot the President
I pulled the plug
Our truth and justice
Under the rug
I'm like a time bomb
Gonna explode
A new reality
Watch it corrode
Just another
Just another
Just another
Just another
Death in America
STRAY CATS lyrics - Mystery Train
Train arrived sixteen coaches long
Train arrived sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
It's got my baby and gone
Train train comin' around the bend
Train train comin' around the bend
Train train comin' around the bend
Train train comin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Train train comin' around the bend
Train train comin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning,
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh, Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be
Oh, Monday, Monday
How could you leave and not take me
Every other day
Every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Every other day
Every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Turns out that way
Monday, Monday
MODERN TALKING lyrics - You're My Heart, You're My Soul (New Version)
97.8 on your FM dial, you're listening to the funkiest station
in the nation and today we're just Modern Talking!
Here's the number one track for the love of my life
Everything I sacrifice just to make her my wife
You kick me hot like fire, never cold like ice
I'll pay any price 'cause she's just that nice
Every line of my rhyme is dedicated to you
And I'll always be true, never will you be blue
You're the best for me, I'll love you till I grow old
Worth more than gold 'cause you're my heart and soul
You're my heart, you're my soul
I keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever
Stay with you together
You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, a feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I reall know
My heart and soul!
I can imagine I was stranded on an island with her
And not a soul in the world knew where we were
I visualize and hypnotize, lost in your fur
And I love you more than anything on this earth
Give up the fortune and fame, commence to living alone
Home alone, don't ever answer the phone
But every breath I take make the truth unfold
Let the whole world behold you're my heart, you're my soul!
You're my heart, you're my soul
I keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever
Stay with you together
You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, a feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I reall know

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Jeff Quits
Jeff: This is what I joined for. This I don't think is pretty good.
FZ: In other words, you don't wanna be in the movie
Jeff: Yeah
FZ: You're sure?
Jeff: Mm-mh
FZ: Is there anybody else that doesn't want to be in the movie? . . . Is there anything specific that you don't like about the script?
Jeff: No. . . in fact my part is the best part of the movie, I think. . .
FZ: You have the biggest part
Jeff: I didn't know how far this could go
FZ: And why do you think it went so far?
Jeff: It was probably boiled in ammonia
Mark: I'm curious to know why - like I asked you this morning-, why puts you out so much to do it, man? Unless you're just a little afraid that what you gotta say is too much what you'd say, anyway?
Jeff: It is what I'd say, it's exactly, it's there!
Mark: So you. . . why you're afraid to say to the people out there what you've been saying to us for months?
Jeff: I'm not afraid to say it to the people out there, I'm just afraid to be in this band anymore
Mark: Why?
FZ: The lines that are in this film are based on things I heard people say for years, all the way back to the very beginning, you know? I don't think anybody should have any objection to say any of those things, because you're playing yourself
Jeff: Should I trim the scene?
FZ: Sure

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Building The Bridge
Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start
We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there
And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge
KINGDOM COME lyrics - Do You Dare
Make no sound - start to feel
In and out - nothing's real
Love is rising - want to share
Come on out - I'll be there
[Chorus:]
You'd rather hide - behind uniform
Sitting inside - the eye of the storm
Do you care - do you dare
I'm calling you - meet me half way through
The human mind - 's hard to read
Disbelief - killed the seed
Fear is rising - sure you know
The only way - 's to let it go
[Chorus:]
Double-[Chorus:]
Love's cool breeze
Make the call - you can't fall
Warm and true - 's what I'll be to you
TOM WAITS lyrics - The Ocean Doesn't Want Me
The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
And the stranglers will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out
All of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
I'll go in up to here
It can't possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Colored Romeo
[1st verse:]
Last winter Liza Snow
Picked up a book called Romeo
She read a page or so
Then hunted for a man
Soon she was dreaming of
A beau who cooed just like a dove
A man who sho' could love
Like a Romeo can
She wandered out one night
Beneath the pale moonlight
And sang with all her might
This ancient cry
[Refrain:]
Where art thou, Romeo
My colored Romeo
The balcony wants to see he and she, you and me
Come out and pet your colored Juliet
Don't linger, do it now
Come kiss my fevered brow
Shakespear's love come and show me, colored Romeo
[2nd verse:]
Miss Liza's father Joe
Did not approve of Romeo
But Liza loved him so
They ran off in a car
They made a mile or three
In almost nothing, don't you see
The auto struck a tree
Then they didn't go far
Miss Liza from the ground
Kept gazing all around
Her beau could not be found
So Liza cried

Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Playa
[Chorus:]
He got money, he got G's
And the finest H-O-E's
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
(He's a playa!...)
He's a pimp, he's a mack
Tilted brim in a Cadillac
(He's a playa!...)
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
[Too $hort:]
I know those who ain't got it, feel like they want it
And those who got it ain't really gotta flaunt it
It's somethin' that we all go through and it's funny
What a nigga do when ya throw him some money
The first thing I bought was a Cadillac
I put the top down, bitch I ain't havin' that
I got a gang of Rolex's, too many cars
Too many broads, I've been doin' hard
Too $hort baby don't play that shit
I love this game and everyday I get
Money and hoes, they can't ease past me
If you don't believe me, ask Jazze
[Chorus:]
He got money, he got G's
And the finest H-O-E's
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
(He's a playa!...)
He's a pimp, he's a mack
Tilted brim in a Cadillac
(He's a playa!...)
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
[Too $hort:]
I'm a ghetto celeb well known in the streets
Ain't spent a night all alone in weeks
Anything you players do is never amazin'
Cause $hort got a bitch, for every occasion
And they ain't just black, they spanish and asian
When I come through they say "Man he's amazin"
I just take two hits, and pass it back
Where you find a white girl with ass like that?
Say it to my face, I can't pimp
Ain't a corner on this earth that I ain't been
Tap my pockets, I'm fat on spinach
I could spend a million dollars in a matter of minutes
[Chorus:]
He got money, he got G's
And the finest H-O-E's
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
(He's a playa!...)
He's a pimp, he's a mack
Tilted brim in a Cadillac
(He's a playa!...)
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
[Too $hort:]
It's all on a bitch, everything I get
From the rims on my whip to the rings I flip
Got a '5 and a '6, you ain't seen my shit?
So clean when I lean with a mean ass grip
I ain't mad at ya player if you're car is loud
Show these motherfuckers what you all about
You got style, like to drive fast and wild?
Pick the girlss with the big ol' ass and smiles
She act foul, you can't hold me down
I burn rubber on a bitch then I'm rollin' out
I do a donut, little kids yellin' wild
They wanna do it, Jazze tell 'em how
[Chorus:]
He got money, he got G's
And the finest H-O-E's
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar
(He's a playa!...)
He's a pimp, he's a mack
Tilted brim in a Cadillac
(He's a playa!...)
Lavish homes and luxury cars
He's a ghetto superstar

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Stupid
Night lift up the shades
Let in the brilliant light of morning
But steady me now
For I am weak
And starving for mercy
Sleep has left me alone
To carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong
It's all I can do to hang on,
To keep me from falling into old familiar shoes
[Chorus:]
How stupid could I be
A simpleton could see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
Love has made me a fool
Set me on fire and watched as I floundered
Unable to speak
Except to cry out and wait for your answer
But you come around in your time
Speaking of fabulous places
Create an oasis
That dries up as soon as you're gone
You leave me here burning in this desert without you
[Chorus]
Everything changes everything falls apart
I can't stand to feel myself losing control
But deep in my senses I know
[Chorus 2x]
IDA COX lyrics - Coffin Blues
Daddy, oh daddy won't you answer me please?
Daddy, oh daddy won't you answer me please?
All day I stood by your coffin tryin' to give my poor heart ease
I run my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
I run1 my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
And I wonder if you know that your mama is near
You told me that you love me and I believe what you said
You told me that you love me and I believe what you said
And I wish that I could fall here across your coffin dead
When I left the undertaker, I couldn't help but cry
When I left the undertaker, I couldn't help but cry
And it hurt me so bad, to tell the man I love goodbye

GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Don't Cry
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

CHICAGO lyrics - All The Years
You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
With you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Chatterbox

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Masterpiece
Where I was born ev`rything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called the inner city
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono
Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It`s a challenge just staying alive
`Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Money I ain`t got none, job can`t find one
The streets raised me from a baby, ooh
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It`s a challenge just staying alive
`Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don`t even know what life`s all about
Stealin` cars, robbin` bars
Mugging drugs, rat infested
And no one`s interested
Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother`s frustration
Breakings, folks comin` home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing - well well - in the ghetto
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing in the ghetto
ISAAC HAYES lyrics - Chocolate Salty Balls
[Chef Aid: The South Park Album]
Two tablespoon's of cinnamon,
And two or three egg whites.
A half a stick of butter?. Melted?
Stick it all in a bowl baby.
Stir it with a wooden spoon.
Mix in a cup of flour,
You'll be in heaven soon.
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth.
Oooo suck on my chocolate salted balls
Stick em in your mouth, and suck em!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
They're packed full of vitamins, and good for you.
So suck on my balls.
Quarter cup of unsweeten chocolate,
And a half a cup of brandy.
You throw in a bag or two of sugar
And just a pinch of vanilla.
Grease up the cookie sheet.
Cause I hate when my balls stick.
Then preheat the oven to three fifty
And give that spoon a lick?
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth.
Suck on my chocolate salted balls.
Put em in your mouth, and suck em!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
There packed full of goodness, high on fiber.
Suck on my balls.
[Sniff, sniff, sniff]
Hey, wait a minute.
What's that smell.
Smell like something burning.
Well that don't confront me none.
Long as I get my rent paid on Friday.
Baby you better get back in the kitchen.
Cause I got a sneak'n suspicion.
Oh man baby, baby!
You just burned my balls!
Help me, my balls on fire
????? baby
My balls are burning
Give me some water!
Pour some water on me!
My balls are burning
Oh my goodness,
I'm blow'n
I'm blow'n
Do somethin
Oooo Suck on my chocolate salted balls.
Put em in your mouth, and suck em!
They'r on fire baby!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
Put em out baby, blow
Ohh
Suck on my balls baby
Suck on my balls baby
Suck on my, red hot, salted, chocolate balls
Come on baby
Woo, woo
Suck on my balls.
[Blow blow]
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Guilty Train
Whoooo-oo
Whoooo-oo
Guilty train,
don't whistle my way again
Guilty train,
don't whistle my way again
Guilty train,
don't whistle my way a-gain
GLADYS KNIGHT lyrics - The Man I Love
(George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin)
[Originally by Billie Holiday]
Someday he'll come along, The man I love
And he'll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Then in a little while, He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home, That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Where There's A Will, There's A Way
(Bonnie Bramlett and Bobby Whitlock)
Honey, when we're together,
It seems like we've both got a whole lot of nothing to say.
But I know if we try, we can work it out someday, good lord.
I know if we try, we can work it out someday.
[Chorus:]
Because I believe if there's a will,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way.
If there's a will, yeah yeah,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way, oh lord.
There ain't no need to worry,
'Cause nothing's wrong, it just ain't the time or place, no no.
And you can believe nearly every word I say, oh yeah.
You can believe nearly every word I say.
[Chorus]
Got to get a thing together;
Little less talking, we have lots more to say.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
[Chorus 3x]
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, " Son a woman'll sweet talk"
And
give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll
leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin,
"Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The
evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in
the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong,
and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a
worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in
LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)
(B. Wilson, A. Asher)
I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
And don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen
Listen
Listen
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Pink Flamingos
Dan and I like Las Vegas, never seen the sea
Where the river, where the river bed runs dry
She closes his eyes, puts her ear to his shirt
And listens to the whole wide earth
Lila's ready, she look in the mirror
He has stopped, he can't hear her
She stops in a bar, apparently she is unhurt
And with a little bit of change, oh feels good
She washes her wings in the dirt
And the bar is filled with angels cuz the world is turned upside down
All of you've been walking on your heads
Since the day your feet touched the ground
Any day, any day we'll go home
Any day, any day we'll go home, home
Well he knocks on the door, someone show him how
And I seen them before, I know him somehow
Why does he stick to my fingers?
Why does this look like his soul?
They could just make him a heaven or hell
What don't they?
I don't know
What do they want with these angels?
Why don't they take them to Reno?
Nobody ever comes for them
They're all inside of the casinos
Look at them poking like flightless birds falling from paper plates
Oh home, heavenly earthbound
But the spirit cannot wait to fly like the pink flamingos
To fly like the pink flamingos, fly, fly?
TONY BANKS lyrics - That Night
I was always insecure
I never was too sure
That what we did that night was right
Or very wrong
It was never in dispute
It was always understood
But I can't leave it there
Now what am I supposed to do about it
Rest your weary head with mine
I'll take you through the night
And bring you to the dawn in hope
But don't turn your head around
No matter what you see
You cannot return
You're caught by the magnet
Drawn to the light
Like a prisoner you are captured
You are left without a choice
Now it's all because of you
That I don't know what to do
My memory's confused when
I recall that night
Now the coin is in the air
And I don't know if I care too much
Which way it lands
Oh and what am I supposed to do about it
Rest your weary head with mine
I'll take you through the night
And bring you to the dawn in hope
But don't turn your head around
No matter what you see
You cannot return
You're caught by the magnet
Drawn to the light
Like a prisoner you are captured
You are left without a choice - oh
That night Rest your weary head with mine
Take me through the night I'll take you through the night
Take me through the night to the dawn And bring you to the dawn in
Hope
It's all because of you But don't turn your head around
I don't know what to do No matter what you see
My memory's confused that night You cannot return
Oh I can't undo that night...

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Dog Eat Dog
DOG EAT DOG
It's dog eat dog-I'm just waking up
The dove is in the dungeon
And the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it love
Dog Eat Dog
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers
DOG EAT DOG
On prime time crime the victim begs
Money is the road to justice
And power walks it on crooked legs
Prime-Time-Crime
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers
Where the wealth's displayed
Thieves and sycophants parade
And where it's made-
the slaves will be taken
Some are treated well
In these games of buy and sell
And some like poor beast
Are burdened down to breaking
DOG EAT DOG
It's dog eat dog, ain't it Flim Flam man
Dog eat dog, you can lie, cheat, skim, scam
Beat'em any way you can
Dog eat Dog
You'll do well in this land of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
You could get to be
A big wig financier
Land of snap decisions
Land of short attention spans
Nothing is savored
Long enough to really understand
In every culture in decline
The watchful ones among the slaves
Know all that is genuine will be
Scorned and conned and cast away
Dog eat dog
People looking, seeing nothing
Dog eat dog
People listening, hearing nothing
Dog eat dog
People lusting, loving nothing
Dog eat dog
People stroking, touching nothing
Dog eat dog
Knowing nothing
Dog eat dog
THE BEATLES lyrics - Dig It
(Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)
Like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone
Ah like a rolling stone
Like the FBI and the CIA
And the BBC, BB King
And Doris Day
Matt Busby
Dig it, dig it, dig it
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it
[That was "Can You Dig It" by Georgie Wood.
And now we'd like to do "Hark The Angels Come".]
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - You And I
Here we are
On Earth together
It's you and I
God has mad us fall in love
It's true I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
And will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
And in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
I only pray that I have shown you
A brighter day
Because that's all that I am living for
You see
Don't worry what happens to me
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...
JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - How Long Blues
(Leroy Carr, arranged by John Lee Hooker)
Standin' at the station when the train come by
Deep down in my heart, baby, feel an achin' pain
How long, oh, baby how long?
Baby how long, baby how long,
Has that evenin' train been gone,
How long, oh, baby how long?
If I could holler like a mountain jack,
I'd go up on the mountain, call my baby back
How long, oh, baby how long?
I could see the green grass,
Growin' up on the hill
But you can't see a green-black drawin' on a,
On a dollar bill
Baby, how long?
Baby how long?
How long, baby how long,
Has that evenin' train been gone?
Baby how long, oh baby how long?
Baby how long, oh baby how long?
