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)

And it's a hard road 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.


GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Buick Makane

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

And close the path to misery.

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?
