U2 lyrics - Two Hearts Beat As One



I don't know

I don't know which side I'm on

I don't know my right from left

Or my right from wrong

Say I'm a fool

You say I'm not for you

But if I'm a fool for you

Oh, that's something



Two hearts beat as one

Two hearts beat as one

Two hearts...



Can't stop the dance

Honey, this is my last chance

I said, can't stop the dance

Maybe this is my last chance



Two hearts beat as one

Two hearts beat as one

Two hearts...



They beat on black, beat on white

Beat on everything don't get it right

Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love



I don't know

How to say what's got to be said

I don't know if it's black or white

There's others see it red

I don't get the answers right

I'll leave that to you

Is this love out of fashion

Or is it the time of year

Are these words distraction

To the words you want to hear



Two hearts beat as one

Two hearts beat as one



I try to spit it out

I try to explain

The way I feel

Oh, yeah

Two hearts



I can't stop the dance

Maybe this is my last chance

I said I can't stop the dance

Maybe this is my last chance

I said don't stop the dance

Maybe this is my last chance

I said I can't stop the dance

Maybe this is our last chance

I said don't stop the dance

Maybe this is our last chance

SANTANA lyrics - Silver Dreams, Golden Smiles



You came to me

In a silver dream

With a glowing flow

Of a mountain stream



You lift my soul

Way beyond the sky

Just to wake me up

With your golden smiles



Chorus:

Silver dreams and golden smiles

Silver dreams and golden smiles

Silver dreams and golden smiles

Silver dreams and golden smiles



I knew one day

You would come my way

You would help me see

The reality



Heaven and earth

They are one, the same

In my heart I know

When you call my name



Chorus



Dreaming when I'm wide awake

See, when my eyes are closed

Flying, I don't need no wings

Being everywhere at once

Hold me, hold me in your arms

Fill me with your glowing grace



Chorus

EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL lyrics - Mirrorball



You never knew the teenage me and

You wouldn't believe the things you didn't see,

Some pretty, some ugly.

And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all

-every triumph, every fight, under disco light.



Come on girl, it's alright.

Come on girl, it's alright now.

Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now.



Well I guess some boys adored me

But the one I loved ignored me,

And caused me in the end to murder my best friend.



And though I got her letter, it never did get better,

And I got out of my head.

Then I joined a band instead.



Come on girl, it's alright.

Come on girl, it's alright now.

Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now.



Some good times I remember - my birthday that September,

We lay down on the lawn,

And counted until dawn,

The stars that we lay under.

And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of them all, mirror,

Mirrorball.



Come on girl, it's too late.

Come on girl, it's too late now.

Come on girl, let it all go.

Come on girl, it's too late now.



Come on girl, it's gonna be alright.

Come on girl, it's never gonna be alright.



It's too late now.



Let it all go...



Cause it's never gonna be alright.


ROD STEWART lyrics - When I Was Your Man



(R. Stewart/K. Savigar)



I remember just like it was yesterday

A summer's night, a small cafe

We laughed so much, we almost cried

Then I heard you say



I think I'm falling in love with you

I said Yeah, I'm the same way too

I let you in

You danced inside this old heart of mine



I've realized baby

You and I could never be

But I just wanna thank you

for the memories



When I was your man

When I was your man

When I was your man

Everything in my world

seemed good and right



I remember each and every day with you

And every way I made love to you

The way you made each day special

God I miss you so



You made me dance, you made me sing

You showed me what happiness

loving could bring

The way we spent last summer together

Seems so far away



Excuse me baby

If I sound a little blue

The best times ever had

I spent with you



When I was your man

When I was your man

When I was your man

Everything in my world

seemed good and right



I'm trying hard to carry on

But the thought of you still lingers on

The robe you wore

still hangs behind my bedroom door



Your dress rehearsals

And schoolgirl pranks

Your saxophone lessions, your cowboy hats

The way we planned our lives together

seems so far away



When I was your man

When I was your man

When I was your man

Everything in this world

seemed good and right



When I was your man

When I was your man

When I was your man

Everything in this world

seemed good and right


BON JOVI lyrics - We Got It Going On



Is there anybody out there looking for a party?

Shake your money maker, baby smoke it if you got it,

We just wanna have some fun, if you don't wanna kiss this,

Everybody raise your hands, come on I need a witness.



We got it goin on

We'll be bringing and singing just like the rolling stones

We're gonna shake up your souls

We've come to rattle your bones

Cause we got it goin' on

Hey yeah,



You gota ticket to kick it,

I wanna hear you scream now (you gota ticket to kick it I wanna hear you scream now),

Because tonight you got the right to let your hair down, (tonight you got the right to let your hair down)

Well everybody's getting down, we're getting down to business

Cant say??? train, you dont want to miss this,



We got it goin on

We'll be bringing and singing just like the rolling stones

We're gonna shake up your souls

We've come to rattle your bones

Cause we got it goin' on

Hey yeah,



And know for a public service announcement for my country cousin, Big Kenny talk to the people:

Brothers and sisters we're here to come together as one and love everybody

Can I getta a-men (a-men)



[Solo]



We got it goin on

We got it goin on

We'll be bringing and singing just like the rolling stones

We're gonna shake up your souls

We've come to rattle your bones

Cause we got it going on

Getting down with Big and Rich and Richie and Jon,

Just bringing and singing,

Why dont you all come along, (why dont you all come along)

We got it goin on,

We got it goin on,

We got it goin on,

We got it going on,

We got it

We got it going on


VAN MORRISON lyrics - Street Choir



Street Choir

Sing me the song for the new day

Don't make it long

And remember to sing it the old way



Let it all out

Let your voice ring in the street, now

My fun

Shall be this one to complete, now



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't see you, now

(See you now)

In a-my, in a-my, new world crystal ball

You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's a-not my job at all



Move it on up

Move it on up by the window, move it on

A magnificent flow

Lord, let it all grow in the moonglow



I'll take the wine

I'll take the wine with the gravy

I'll ask you the time

And just send the bill, to my baby



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't see you, now

(See you now)

In a-my, in a-my, in a-my

New world crystal ball



You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's a-not my job at all



[Instrumental & harmonica]



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

In a-my, in a-my, in a-my

New world crystal ball



You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's not my job at all



You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's not my job at all



[Fades]

You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now).


METALLICA lyrics - Wherever I May Roam



(Hetfield / Ulrich)



...And the road becomes my bride

I have stripped of all but pride

So in her I do confide

And she keeps me satisfied

Gives me all I need



...And with dust in throat I crave

Only knowledge will I save

To the game you stay a slave

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will



But I'll take my time anywhere

Free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll redefine anywhere



Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home



...And the earth becomes my throne

I adapt to the unknown

Under wandering stars I've grown

By myself but not alone

I ask no one



...And my ties are severed clean

The less I have, the more I gain

Off the beaten path I reign

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will



But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll never mind anywhere



Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home



But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind

And I'll take my find anywhere



Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home



Carved upon my stone

My body lie, but still I roam

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - On The 4th Of July



Shall I tell it again how we started as friends

who would run into one another now and again.

At the Yippee Cai O or the Mesa Dupree, or a dozen different everyday places to be.

I was living alone, we were ever so brave on the telephone.

Would you care to come down for fireworks time,

we could each just reach, we step out of line.



And the smell of the smoke and the lay of the land

and the feeling of finding one's heart in one's hand

and the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing "love must stand,"

love forever and ever must stand.



Unbelievable you, impossible me, the fool who fell out of the family tree,

the fellow that found the philosopher's stone, deep underground like a dinosaur bone.

Who fell into you at a quarter to two with a tear in your eye for the Fourth of July

for the patriots and the minutemen and the things you believe they believed in then



Such as freedom, and freedom's land and the kingdom of God and the rights of man

with the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing "love must stand,"

love forever and ever must stand and forever must stand.



Oh, the smell of the smoke as we lay on the land

and the feeling of finding my heart in my hand

with the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing "love must stand,"

love forever and ever must stand and forever must stand.



All on the Fourth of July, on the Fourth of July.


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - The Vowel Family



A I Y, O E U

We're the Vowel Family, and we've come to sing for you



Vowels are important letters, there's a vowel in every word

Vowels are important letters, there's a vowel in every word

Ask someone older to show you, there's a vowel in each word

Vowels are important letters, there's a vowel in every word



A I Y, O E U

We're the Vowel Family, and we're back to sing some more



A is an important letter

Well I is important too

Y is an important letter

Well O is important too

E is an important letter

O is an important letter



Vowels are important letters, there's a vowel in every word

Ask someone older to show you, there's a vowel in each word

Vowels are important letters, yes, vowels are in every word


PINK FLOYD lyrics - Learning To Fly



Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, A state of bliss

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Silly Me



(Ben Weisman/Robert Etol)



Funny how love comes and goes

With the tears that fill my life does it show

So listen to my heart beat once again

Because of you I hope this feeling never ends



Silly me

I fell in love again

We started out as friends

You'd think I would have learned from the hurt before

Foolish me

Should I have closed the door

Promised, even swore to never love this way

Oh foolish me



They say that love's a chance you take

You know I've had my share

But when the nights get oh so cold I need you there

They say that love's a chance you take

You know I've had my share

But when the nights get oh so cold I need you there



Silly me

I fell in love again

We started out as friends

You'd think I would have learned from the hurt before

Foolish me

A-HA lyrics - (Seemingly) Nonstop July



Walking by strangers

Stranger than me

We talk of the future

Between you and me



Sweet little darling

Where will we be

Sweet little darling

Where will we be



It's hard to conceive it

All comes to an end

A joke when it's funny, well...

I laugh and pretend



We're fools to believe it

We're fools to try

To slow down this seemingly

Nonstop July


GEORGE MICHAEL lyrics - These Are The Days Of Our Lives



Sometimes I Get The Feelin'

I was back in the old days - long ago

When we were kids, when we were young

Things seemed so perfect - you know?

The days were endless, we were crazy - we were

Young

The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

Sometimes it seems like lately - i just don't know

The rest of my life's been - just a show.



Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true-

When i look and i find, i still love you.



You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn

Back the tide

Ain't that a shame? (ain't that a shame?)

I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride

When life was just a game

No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did

When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids

Sometimes it seems like lately i just don't know

Better sit back and go - with the flow



'Cause these are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time

These days are all gone now but some things remain

When i look and i find - no change



Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true-

When i look and i find, i still love you



I still love you

I love you

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you

Still love you


ALICE COOPER lyrics - Today Mueller



Today Mueller

Let it happen

Happy slappin', tappin' paddy-oh

She'd like to give her life away

Like to stay another day

Try it out another way

Arh, today, today, today, today mueller

Give your notice of your leaving

Arh, today, today, today, today mueller

Don't tell them you can't go with me

This will always be

Red rover, red rover

Pass under, pass over, pass through

And over, and over the White Cliffs of Dover with you

Today mueller

Make it happen


SKID ROW lyrics - Midnight / Tornado



(Fallon, Snake)



The night approaches, after dark you have no chance

Ooh, when moonlight takes the sky, you'll feel my dark romance



I'm on your footsteps and I wait behind your back

I spread like fire upon the streets I'm ready to attack



I'm the only thing you need

Upon your love I feed



When the clock strikes midnite

I'm on the prowl of love

When the clock strikes midnite

The time is right to call you out



When I'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot

Electric is my touch baby you don't know what you've got



Only in the evening at night I come alive

So try to keep your passion deep I need it to survive



I'm the only thing you need

Upon your love I feed



When the clock strikes midnite

I'm on the prowl of love

When the clock strikes midnite

The time is right to call you out



When the clock strikes midnite

When the wicked moon starts to rise

When the clock strikes midnite

I'm alive



When the clock strikes midnite

I'm on the prowl of love

When the clock strikes midnite

The time is right to call you out



When the clock strikes midnite

When the wicked moon starts to rise

When the clock strikes midnite

I'm alive


GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Carrying Your Love With Me



Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag.

And everything I own don't fill up half.

But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack.

All I care about is getting back real soon.

A goodbye kiss is all I need from you.



[Chorus:]

I'm carrying your love with me.

West Virginia down to Tennessee.

I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed.

Carrying your love with me.

It's my strength for holdin' on,

Every minute that I have to be gone.

I'll have everything I ever need.

Carrying your love with me.



On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain.

Darlin' all I have to do is speak your name.

The clouds roll back and the waters part.

The sun starts shining in my heart for you.

You're right there in everything I do, 'cause...



[Chorus]

RAINBOW lyrics - Miss Mistreated



(Blackmore/Turner/Rosenthal)



I know you been runnin' around

I know what you been sayin'

I treat you wrong, keep lettin' you down

I'm not giving what I'm taking

So hurt...Deep inside

you say ther's nothin' to it

But my eyes are open wide

And I don't know why you do it

you say I cheated, you say that I lied

People tell ya I'm taking you for a ride

Oh but baby they lied...



Give you my love, I'll give you all of my time

Just to keep you satisfied

It's never enough until it's over the time

So you're livin' on the wild side

Undercover lovers late at night

Won't take the pain away...

Two wrongs don't make a right

But you wanna make me pay

I know, love can be real

You're not the only one whose got a bad deal

I know just how you, oh yeah

MISS Mistreated.. whose mistreatin' who...

You think it's me...I think it's you...yes I do

MISS Mistreated

MISS Mistreated

MISS Mistreated



I wanna know...love can be real

You're not the only one whose got a bad deal

I know how you feel...ooh

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Give Love On Christmas Day



People making lists, buying special gifts,

It's a time to be kind to one and all

It's that time of year when good friends are dear

And you wish you could give more

Than just presents from a store



Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)

Oh even the man who has everything

Would be so happy if you would bring

Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)

No greater gift is there than love



People you don't know smiling out hello

Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy

It's that once a year, when the world's sincere

And you'd like to find a way

To show the things that words can't say



Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)

The man on the street and the couple upstairs

All need to know that there's one cares

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)

No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love

Yes the world needs your love



Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day)

Oh every little child on Santa's knee

Has room for your love underneath his tree

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)

No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love

Yes the world needs your love

SLAYER lyrics - Cleanse The Soul



(Lyrics: Araya, King; Music: Hanneman)



Body that rests before me,

With every dying breath,

Spellbound and gagged,

I commence your flesh to dirt.



Body that lay before me,

In everlasting death.

Entombed in abscess,

To rot and lie stinking in the earth.



[Lead: King]



Empty altar awaits its victim

Stained glass windows black.

Candles burn the midnight oil,

Incense fills the night.



Observing trance awaking state

Lying still unknowing.

Reciting the passages of time

Prepare for the impaling.



[Lead: Hanneman]



Death's an art, flesh and earth never part,

A power of the mind.

Death shines on the air of silence,

A ritual of endless time.



Purged of your dead body,

Sacrificed of your life.

Unearthly ritual sealed in fire

Enter the kingdom of desire.



[Lead: King]

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Breakaway



For too long she was feeling

That her love had lost it meaning

She was looking for a reason

Not to breakaway

But I don't think she can take it

She'll be strong enough for two

Although it's hard for her to do

She'll breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ohh she'll breakaway



Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high

And breakaway

Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high



Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway



It's a secret she's been keeping

It's been eating at her heart

Wish I could find the words to tell you

But I don't know where to start

And when she looks into the future

She sees to many problems

There are so many reasons

She should pack up the past

And breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway



Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high

And breakaway

Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high



Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway

She'll breakaway



But I don't think she can take it

And just friendship can't replace it

She'll be strong enough for two

Although it's hard for her to do

She'll breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway



Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high

And breakaway

Forget about the bad times

Remember all the good times

Hold your head up high



Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway

She'll breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ooh she'll breakaway

She'll breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ooh, she'll breakaway

She'll breakaway

Ooh, ooh, ooh breakaway

She'll breakaway

Breakaway

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Tin Town



(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)



Have you been down to Tin Town, where dreams in cans once were drowned.

A snag somewhere in someone's life caught him there, pulled him to strife.

A bottle here, and there are left. Many broken, the air is deaf.

With non-understanding vows, remember tears upon their brows.

In Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town.



A tiny flag upon a mast, where camptown children played in past.

A river winding through the trees. Banks eroded, extreme degrees.

Once a place to be baptized, when pentecostal need arise.

A shank or two with rotted plank. A fish or two, their eyes are blank.

In Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town.



Well I been down to Tin Town, where once a boy I did fall down.

And cut my arm on piled up junk. I wrapped it up and I hailed a drunk.

He carried me three miles to home, where daddy said I was cut to the bone.

The doctor washed his hands and said, "Five more minutes, the boy'd been dead."

Down where people lose their heads.

In Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town. I know you well.



Well I live here in Tin Town. Not many people come around.

When when they do I smile at them. And say, "Hello, it's a mighty hot day.

Can you spare a man a dime? I got thirty cents and I can buy some wine.

I'm livin' in my childhood schemes. Please, mister, you can make my dreams (you can make my dreams!)."

In Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town.

It's my home. It's my home. It's my home. It's my home.


JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Machine Man



(Glenn Tipton)



Licensed to kill

On my 650 Bonneville

"Hellfire" we yell

Fuelled and indestructible



Get it down

to take the crown

Neon daze

Renegades



No fear just hate

Drives us to the ultimate

Cut loose extremes

On our maniac machines



Take me down

Or hit the ground

Neon nights

At the speed of light



So you motherfuckers want to race

You've all got loser tattooed on your face



Machine Man's running - you wanna try

Machine Man's coming - you're gonna die



Ignite the engines

You can hear it scream

You're gonna eat your words

That challenged this machine



The beast is revved up

The flag is down

The tyres screech

And lay a smoke screen all around



Through the limits

As they rocket past

It's a blood bath

There's no second place



Machine Man - Machine Man's coming

Machine Man - Machine Man's coming



Ice nerves of steel

As I notch another kill

You lose - I win

I get to ride again



Get it down

Hit the ground

Neon nights

Speed of light



Feel no mercy as I cross the line

Watch the suckers self destruct behind



Machine Man's running

You wanna try

Machine Man's coming

You're gonna die



Machine Man - Machine Man's coming

Machine Man - Machine Man's coming

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Noel Leon



Leon Dixon leaves his Christmas lights up all year 'round

It's somethin' different about our town

We've often wondered why he never takes 'em down

But Leon leaves his Christmas lights up all year 'round

There's a big bright noel flashin' off and on

In the yard where the children play the whole year long

We've all gotten used to it year by year

Now it's kinda gotten to be a part of things 'round here



[Chorus:]

Peace on earth, Good will to men

Christmas time is here again

Can it be all that wrong

To feel like Christmas all year long



Leon got sick, it's been back awhile

Short on luck and money, but he still wore that smile

And nobody could stand to see him do without

So we all drove over to see if we could help out

Yeah, the noel flashed on and the bills stayed paid

I felt so warm as we drove away

I had never seen Christmas spelled so clear

As when I saw "LEON" flashin' in my rear view mirror



[Chorus]



Noel Leon


GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I Can't See Texas From Here



I come and go as I please.

From down here, up North and inbetween,

But baby it's a shame 'cause I always feel the same

When I can't see Texas from here.



[Chorus:]

I can't see Texas from here.

No matter how I try, it makes me want to cry.

So if you see me lookin' down,

I'm tryin' not to show this frown

'Cause I can't see Texas from here.



I can't say I don't like Tennessee.

The people here have all been good to me.

So please don't take offense if I start to get intense

Just 'cause I can't see Texas from here.



[Chorus 2x]



'Cause I can't see Texas, I can't see Texas,

I can't see Texas from here.

KOZMIC BLUES BAND lyrics - Summertime



Summertime,

Child, you're living easy.

Fish are, fish are jumping out

And the cotton, Lord,

Cotton's high, Lord, so high.



Your daddy's rich,

When your ma, oh honey thinks she's mighty good-looking, babe.

I said she's looking pretty fine to me right now,

Don't you know she is.

Whoa, hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

No, no, no, no, no, don't you cry.

Oh honey you'd better not cry

'Cause they're gonna kick you up if when you want to do nothing,

Take it from me!

Cry.



Whoa, one of these mornings,

Child, you'll rise up singing, baby, oh.

I said you're gonna wanna go, honey, spread your wings,

Yeah, child, you take, take to the sky,

Lord, the sky.



Until that morning,

Honey, no-no-no-nothing's going to harm you, babe,

I said honey nothing's ever gonna let you down,

'Cause I just wouldn't let them do it, no, no, no, no, no,

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

No, no, no, no, no,

Don't you cry, oh no,

Cry.



Alright.


GREEN DAY lyrics - The Grouch



I was a young boy that had big plans.

Now I'm just another shitty old man.

I don't have fun and I hate everything.

The world owes me, so fuck you.



Glory days don't mean shit to me.

I drank a six pack of apathy.

Life's a bitch and so am I.

The world owes me, so fuck you.



Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.

I had a young and optimisitic point of view.

Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.

I had a young and optimisitic point of view.



I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat.

Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.

I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch.

The world owes me, so fuck you.



The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up.

I don't have sex `cause i can't get it up.

I'm always rude.

I've got a bad attitude.

The world owes, so fuck you.


TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - So Alive



Soft between these sheets I shiver

I move in time

My thoughts collide and body whispers

"Am I alive?"



This place will speak its language to me

I slip inside

A breath escapes and I fly with it

I'm so alive



Moving in waves

Laid in a hole sideways

Sleeping still

But so alive



I see you on a road I travel

I move in time

The earth forgives my trespass

And I'm alive



Breathing in waves

Laid in a hole sideways

Sleeping still

But so alive

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Schumann: Mondnacht



Es war, als hatt' der Himmel

Der erde still gekusst,

Dass sie im Blutenschimmer

Von ihm nur traumen musst.

Die Luft ging durch die Felder,

Die Ahren wogten sacht,

Es rauschten leis' die Walder,

So sternklar war die Nacht.



Und meine Seele spannte

Weit ihre Flugel aus,

Flog durch die stillen Lande,

Als floge sie nach Haus.


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Little Light



(Nick Reynolds/Bob Shane/John Stewart)



[Chorus:]

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. [Repeat 2x]

Ev'ry day, ev'ry day, ev'ry day, ev'ry day, gonna let my little light shine.



On Monday, give me the gift of love, On Tuesday, peace came from above,

On Wednesday, told me to watch and pray, on Thursday, told me just a-what to say,

On Friday, sent me down some faith, On Saturday, give me a little more grace,

On Sunday, give me the power divine, just to let my little light shine.



[Chorus]


LOS LOBOS lyrics - Malaque



(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)



Tell me please Dear Malaque

Why have our loved ones gone away

Left with nothing much to say

Only the warm place where they lay

On the way to the ruby king



Malaque what do we do

Now there's only me and you

Can we begin our lives anew

After all that we've been through

On this day of the ruby king



We have worked so hard to find

What is yours and what is mine

How does one become so blind

And forget what is divine

In the world of the ruby king



Malaque oh Malaque

Where have our friends all gone today

Gone without a word to say

Only the beds where they once laid

Left to rest with the ruby king

Gone away to the ruby king


MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Brain Drain



Well, I know that you're tired of living this way,

We've been trying to get high without having to pay.



The walls are all empty, it's not a permanent state,

Just let me tell you that it's not too late.



You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a drain brain, you go on and on like a blood stain.



Well, you know I ain't selfish, there's always a way.

If a thing ain't worth having, you're having to pay.



You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a train brain, you go on and on like a blood stain.



Got so much to offer, but I can't pay the rent,

I can't buy you roses 'cause the money's all spent.



Well, you sat in my car, you drank my champagne,



You stole all my silk but you gave me no change.



You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a train drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.



Got so much to offer, but I can't pay the rent,

I can't buy you roses 'cause the money's all spent.



Well, you sat in my car, you drank my champagne,

You stole all my silk, you left me no change.



You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a train drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.



You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.


PRINCE lyrics - Man'O'War (Remix)



Why you screamin'?

You know I'm not a man'o'war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor

Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

My friends tell me, "You should go get her"

But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

(Waste of time)

Ah, yes it is, it's a waste of time, ooh

Look at me



I need to get out of this city

I need to get you outta my head

I need to get away from the words that you said to me



Why you screamin'?

You know I'm not a man'o'war

What makes you think that I could put something inside of someone

That I put inside of you?

Even if I tried to, if I tried to (Tried to, tried to)

I couldn't cuz I still smell like the last time that we...

Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

(Is a waste of time)

Oh, yes it is

Is a waste of time, baby



Ooh

I need to feel wanted again (Wanted again)

I need to feel love is alive, yeah (Love is alive, is alive)

I need to hear you say that you ain't lookin' for another reason

To make me cry



Why you screamin'? (Ooh uh)(Why?)

You know I'm not a man'o'war

I've been tryin' to make you happy, baby

Ever since we were sophomores

But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

Oh, yes it is (Is a waste of time)

Ooh, it's a waste of time, waste of time, waste of time



(If there is no future)

If there is no future

(Then there is no past)

Then there is no past

(All we've got is right now)

All we've got is right now

Let's make it last



Why you screamin'?

(Can we make it last?)

You know I'm not a man'o'war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor (Oh, throw it down)

Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

My friends tell me, they tell me, "You should go get her"

(That's what they tell me)

But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

Oh, oh, oh, oh



I need to get out of this city

I need to get you outta my head

I need to

How did Lenny say: I got to get away, I got to get away

Away from the words you said to me

Tryin' to take away my dignity

Peace of mind is where I should be

Instead of this 7 page letter, see

If you wanna serve me a plate of blues

I won't buy you no more shoes

Donatella lace you in dresses, still

I gets no love, but I pay the bills

I will, I will pay the bills

100,000 dollars and some change...

I've been trying to make you happy, baby

But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you

Is a waste of time



Why you screamin'?

You know I'm not a man'o'war

Break the gold chain that I gave you

Throw it down on the floor, on the floor

Instead of this 7 page letter

I wish I had peace of mind

My friends tell me "You should go get her"

But lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you is a waste of time

Oh, ooh

THE KINKS lyrics - The Video Shop



The local factory's been pulled down

By an overseas corporation

Now all of my brothers are looking around

For alternative occupation



I was sitting by the telly with my brother, Kenny

When suddenly the penny dropped

While all of my brothers are sitting at home

I've got a bank loan and I've opened up my very own

Video shop

Video shop



At the video shop

I can fly, fly you away



Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf

And if you've got a fantasy

For a small rental fee

You can set yourself free

At my video shop

At my video shop

At the video shop



I can fly, fly you away

At the video shop

Let me fly, fly you away

From all of the depression in you head

Caused by all the living in the red



I've got a bootleg version of Citizen Kane

A second hand copy of Psycho

I've taped them off the telly so you shouldn't complain

And there's no guarantee you'll get your money back again

From my video shop

My video shop



If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape

To relieve your situation

If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show

'Cos everybody knows almost anything goes

At my video shop

At my video shop



One fifty a day and I'll fly, fly you away

It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away

I can help you through that lonely night

I've got Technicolour, black and white

I can guide you through those empty days

Make you smile and take your blues away



O let me fly you away

At my video shop

Fly, fly you away



Another factory's been knocked down

But nobody ever complains

And all of my brothers are customers now

We all play video games

I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives

If they're bored and they feel like a change

I do sales, rentals, even a swop

And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged

At my video shop

At my video shop

At my video shop



At my video shop

Let me fly, fly you away



And everyone who walks in through that door

Has got something that they're looking for

At my video shop

At my video shop

At the video shop

I can fly, fly you away



At the video shop

Let me fly, fly you away

Oh, at the video shop



Oh, at the video shop

Oh, at the video shop


EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL lyrics - Tears All Over Town



Don't be unkind, for once be untrue -

Can't pretend I care for her, only you

Just be on time, spare me your shame,

For once don't mention her name.

Now I cannot claim angel's wings,

But mention her name and I'll wreck everything



I saw things not meant for my eyes,

I was happy once and then twice.

I said things I shouldn't have said.

I told tales of days in your bed.

In love and war there's nothing sacred.



Just don't pretend, wherever you go,

There are things that only I know -

Because I'm sure, when she's there,

That you tell a few of the secrets of yours

That I had kept for you.



I saw things not meant for my eyes,

I was happy once and then twice.

I said things I shouldn't have said.

I told tales of days in your bed.

In love and war there's nothing sacred.

TALKING HEADS lyrics - Tentative Decisions



Now that I can

Release my tensions

Let me make clear

My best intentions

Girls ask and I

define decision

Boys ask and I

describe their function



Oh the boys

want to talk

Like to to talk about those problems

And the girls

say they're concerned

And they are

concerned with these decisions



And it's all

Hard Logic

To follow and the

Girls get lost

And the boys

say they're concerned

But they are

concerned with these decisions



I wanna talk

I wanna talk as much as I want

I'm gonna give

I'm gonna give the problem to you

I wanna talk

I wanna talk as much as I want

I'm gonna give

I'm gonna give the problem to you



Decide, decide

Make up your mind

Decide, decide

I told you what to say

Confuse, confuse

Describe what I found

Confuse, confuse

I told you what to say



Oh the girls

Still want to talk

Want to talk about those problems

And the boys

say they're concerned

But they are concerned with these decisions



And it's all

Hard Logic

I know

And the boys

And they are concerned with these decisions



I wanna talk

I wanna talk as much as I want

I'm gonna give

I'm gonna give the problem to you

I wanna talk

I wanna talk as much as I want

I'm gonna give

I'm gonna give the problem to you

Make up your mind

Decide, decide

JOEY DEE AND THE STARLITERS lyrics - Peppermint Twist



Well they've got a new dance and it goes like this

(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)

Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist

(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)

Well you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist



It goes round and round, up and down

Round and round, up and down

Round and round and a up and down

And a one two three kick, one two three jump



Well meet me baby down at 45th street

Where the Peppermint Twisters meet

And you'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist



It's alright, all night, it's alright

It's okay, all day, it's okay

You'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist

Yeah, yeah

10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Poor De Chirico



(music: John Lombardo / lyrics: Natalie Merchant)



Oh my dear friend

My dear friend giorgio

How has this time breton

Discouraged your liaison with the

Eye styled metaphysical

Incongruous scenarios

Dauntly jaunt about through nostalgic despair

Within childlike renderings

Of a nightmarish recall

"all my images

Fragments i've shored upon my ruins

Pictor classicus sum

I am pure"



Step solemn with the

Air of reluctant manes

As rod and hoop shadow children

Scatter through a henna arcade

Figures indentured to a windless landscape

Enduring silence and flame



Da

Da da

No loyalty to the nonsensical

Scorned their nihilist pageantry


OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Emotional Tangle



(J. Farrar/B. Thorpe)



The moment we met you knew me

I felt you melt into me

Wrap round my heart and shake me inside

One simple conversation

Such gentle communication

Love found a way in and to my surprise



From the emotional angle

We're in an emotional tangle

And if you feel like I'm feeling

It's love from this angle

This tangle can never be tight enough



Till now it was easy stalling

Feeling but never falling

I'd always stop before it could start

Love brought our lives together

With a magic that lasts forever

And nothing on earth can tear us apart



From the emotional angle

We're in an emotional tangle

And if you feel like I'm feeling

It's love from this angle

This tangle can never be tight enough



I just can't get enough

Want you day and night

No taking away my appetite

So spin me in circles

Pull me tighter and tighter to you



From the emotional angle

We're in an emotional tangle

And if you feel like I'm feeling

It's love from this angle

This tangle can never be tight enough


STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN lyrics - They Call Me Guitar Hurricane



Well they call me hurricane an' I've come to play in your town

Yeah they call hurricane an' I've come to play in your town

If you don't like my music I'm sure gonna drive to your town



Yeah I like my pocket full of money....my whiskey, gin and wine

Yes I like my pocket full of money....my whiskey, gin and wine

Y'all can come to dinner....Love my lovin' all the time



Yeah they call me hurricane an' I've come to play in your town

Yeah they call me hurricane an' I've come to play in your town

If I can't play this guitar I'm sure gonna drive to your town


GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - I'm Leaving



Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city

Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today

Shops, walls, pavements, streets

Is all that I could find

From head to foot and toe to eye

I looked till I was blind

No matter what turns up

I'm leaving here

This place ain't good enough

You might think that I'm being funny

Just 'coz I won't spend my money here

Well let me tell you I have no obection

Except that I can find correction

Everywhere I go

Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter

About walking down an empty street

With gutters full of litter

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today, hey, hey

I'm going away

You might think that I'm being funny

Just 'coz I won't spend my money here

Well let me tell you I have no objection

Except that I can find correction

Everywhere I go

Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter

About walking down an empty street

With gutters full of litter

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving here today, hey, hey

My mind is made up

I have had enough

I'm leaving right away, hey, hey

I'm going away

Getting out of this place

I know I've said it before

But this time I mean it

I'm leaving

Packing my bags and going away

Getting out of this place


BOBBY DARIN lyrics - If I Were A Carpenter



If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

And have my baby?



If a tinker were my trade

Would you still find me

Carryin' the pots I made

Followin' behind me?



Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrows

I've given you my onliness

Give me your tomorrows.



If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Answer me, babe, "Yes, I would.

I would put you above me."



If I were a miller... yeah...

At a mill wheel grindin'

Would you miss your colored blouse

Little girl, your soft shoe shinin'?



If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

And you have my baby?



Would you marry me anyway

And have my baby?


GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Looking For My Life



Oh Lord, won't you listen in to me now

Oh Love, I got to get me back to you somehow



I never knew that life was loaded

I'd only hung around birds and bees

I never knew that things exploded

I only found it out when I was down upon my knees

Looking for my life, looking for my life



Oh boy, you've not idea what I've been through

Oh Lord, I feel so stuck that I can't get to you



Had no idea that I was heading

Toward a state of emergency

I had no fear where I was treading

I only found it out when I was down upon my knees

Looking for my life

Caught up on me with intensity

Had no idea where I was heading

I only found it out when I was down upon my knees

Looking for my life, looking for my life



Oh boys, you've no idea what I've been through

Oh Lord, I got to get back somehow to you



I never knew that life was loaded

I only hung around birds and bees

I never knew that things exploded

I only found it out when I was down upon my knees

Looking for my life

I never got any GCE's

I never knew that things exploded

I only found it out when I was down upon my knees

Looking for my life, looking for my life

Looking for my life, looking for my life

Looking for my life


GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Gasoline



(Hughes/Marsh)



You're the black sheep of the family

And what you do is killing me

And I don't wanna hang with you

Now I want you to see



You know you're living with a one-track mind

I'm warning you I'm not that kind

You're just a memory

Now I'm leaving you behind



Tell me, tell another lie to me

Tell me I will set you free

Won't you let me be

Cuz you burn me with your gasoline



I've been trying to turn my back

You know you give me a heart attack

I don't need no microphone

So why don't you hear me?



You know you never were my friend

This is a letter I got to send

I don't want you to follow me

But here you come again

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Out On The Weekend



Think I'll pack it in

and buy a pick-up

Take it down to L. A.

Find a place to call my own

and try to fix up.

Start a brand new day.



The woman I'm thinking of,

she loved me all up

But I'm so down today

She's so fine, she's in my mind.

I hear her callin'.



See the lonely boy,

out on the weekend

Trying to make it pay.

Can't relate to joy,

he tries to speak and

Can't begin to say.



She got pictures on the wall,

they make me look up

From her big brass bed.

Now I'm running down the road

trying to stay up

Somewhere in her head.



The woman I'm thinking of,

she loved me all up

But I'm so down today

She's so fine she's in my mind.

I hear her callin'.



See the lonely boy,

out on the weekend

Trying to make it pay.

Can't relate to joy,

he tries to speak and

Can't begin to say.


BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Saturday Morning In The City



Saturday morning in the city

Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city

The parking lot of the market looks so crowded

And when we get all done our little shopping cart is loaded



Saturday morning in the city

Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city

I see some young people washin' down their cars

They're headin' down to the matinee to see their movie stars



Somewhere in town the bells are ringin'

Way up in the trees the birds are singin'

"Watchya wanna do today?"



Saturday morning in the city

Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city

No work for us until next Monday

It's time to rise and shine

We're gonna have a fun day



Saturday morning in the city

Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city

Next door they're havin' a garage sale



Rover is barkin' now "OK here's the mail!"

Paper is here, the coffee's brewin'

Phone rings "Good mornin'! How ya doin'?

Watchya wanna do today?"



Saturday morning in the city

Saturday morning in the city

If we just lie there

We'll miss the whole day

So c'mon honey, let's get away



Boys and girls are out and about (get out of bed)

Listen to them run and shout (you sleepy head)

They're so happy school is out

'Cept the kid with the paper route



Saturday morning in the city

Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city

The smell of barbecue blows all over town

Hey neighbor grab a chair

And sit yourself right down

So glad I got you out of bed now

Weekends are so good for your head now

Watchya wanna do-oh-do today?


BAD RELIGION lyrics - We're Only Gonna Die From Our Own Arrogance



Early man walked away as modern man took control.

Their minds weren't all the same, to conquer was his big goal,

So he built his great empire and slaughtered his own kind,

Then he died a confused man, killed himself with his own mind.

Go!

[x3]

We're only gonna die from our own arrogance. [x4]


CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - Fair Game



(Stephen Stills)



[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]



Take a look around you tell me if you see

A girl who thinks she's ordinary lookin' she has got the key

If you can get close enough to look into her eyes

There's something special right behind the bitterness she hides



And you're fair game

You'll never know what she'll decide

You're fair game

Just relax enjoy the ride



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]



Find a way to reach her make yourself a fool

But do it with a little class disregard the rules

'Cause this one knows the bottom line couldn't get a date

The ugly duckling striking back and she'll decide her fate



And you're fair game

You'll never know what she'll decide

You're fair game

Just relax enjoy the ride



[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]



The ones you never notice are the ones you have to watch

She's pleasant and she's friendly while she's looking at your crotch

And try your hand at conversation gossip is a lie

And sure enough she'll take you home and make you wanna die



And you're fair game

You'll never know what she'll decide

You're fair game

Just relax enjoy the ride



[Instrumental Ending (Acoustic Guitar)]


BUDDY GUY lyrics - First Time I Met The Blues (Version 2)



(Eurreal "Little Brother" Montgomery)



The first time I met the blues

People, you know I was walkin' down through the woods

Yes, the first time I met the blues

You know, you know I was walkin' down through the woods

You stopped by my house first mister blues

And blues, you didn't do me much good



You, should have heard me beggin'

Blues, don't murder me

Aw, you, you should have heard me begging

Mister blues, don't you murder me

You know, you be with me every morning mister blues

I just got to know what you want with me



Ah, good morning, good morning mister blues

I'd like to know what you're doing here so soon

Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning mister blues

I wonder, I wonder what you're doin' here so soon

You'll be with me every morning mister blues

You'll be here every night and every noon



Yeah

Mister Lenny Picket ladies and gentleman

Let's give Len a big hand

KISS lyrics - 2,000 Man



Well, my name it is a number

It's on a piece of plastic film

And I've been growin' funny flowers

Outside on my little window sill



And don't you know I'm a 2,000 man

And my kids, they just don't understand me at all



You know, my wife still respects me

Even though I really misuse her

I am having an affair

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Kick It In



Love gives me poetry

Stays up all night and puts a curse on me

Oh anything you want

Turn around and I'll take you there

I know it's going to be

Take your shackles off o' me

This city's gone, I'm gone over there

Kick it in, kick it in

Build it up and burn it down again

Kick it in, kick it in

Burn down to the ground

Kick it in, kick it in

Tell me about this place you've been

I don't want it there's a fever going around



Take a walk down town

See what's going on

If you want to find a hidden key

There's nothing here on me

Any city, anywhere

Any colour I don't care

You belong to me

And that's the way it's gonna be



Kick it in, kick it in



Yeah kick it in, kick it in

Raise it up and let it live again

Feel your body shake and take off

You can lie but keep it in

Keep me down here wondering

So what's it going to be

Come on in

I like the shape you're in

You keep me wondering, wondering, wondering



Eyes upon you black and brown

Spread your love all over town

Give me fire, body heat

Say hello to me

I want to go anywhere

Any colour I don't care

Don't believe in all you see

And don't get caught



Kick it in, kick it in

Tell me about this love you've been

Kick it in, kick it in

Turn this life around

Kick it in, kick it in

Shake the ghosts from deep within

Close the door down

Don't let the demons in



Kick it in, kick it in

I only want to be your friend

Put your hands in my hand

And take off with me



Listen baby, I'm going home

I'm going home

I'm going home

Come on walk with me



Cause I know what I see

Kick it in

Kick it in, kick it in

Tell me 'bout the place you're in

I've got a new gold dream

I'm moving on, I'm moving on

You're moving on, you're moving on

You're moving on, yeah

Kick it in, kick it in

I'm moving on


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Mother



Mother you had me

But I never had you

I wanted you

But you didn't want me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Father you I left me

But I never left you

I needed you

You didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you

I gotta tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Children don't do

What I have done

I couldn't walk

But I tried to run

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Mamma don't go

Daddy come home

Mamma don't go

Daddy come home

Mamma don't go

Daddy come home

Mamma don't go

Daddy come home

Mamma don't go

Daddy come home...


BEE GEES lyrics - The Lord



[Verse 1]

What do you get for trying? Minute you're born you're dying.

The body is six feet down. The Lord says the soul sticks around.



[Chorus]

You can believe what you wanna but I know what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna believe in the Lord.

You can believe what you wanna but I know what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna believe in the Lord.



[Verse 2]

You think you live on laughter. But you don't know what's after.

Singing Hallelujah. I can know the Master.



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

When my life is over. Lie in fields of clover.

Waiting for my own girl. Living in a new world. Yeah..



[Chorus]



[Verse 1]



[Chorus]



[end]

I'm gonna believe in the Lord.


CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Trick Pony



Train, train

Come and gone

My rum coco

My cold empty

Shake, shake

Sugaree

Shoo, shoo fly

Don't come back again



X X the eyes

C. C. Rider riding

On the morning tide

To the fall horizon

Sic, sic the wolves

And hope it don't get ugly

A trick pony

He don't know me

He don't know me at all



Knock, knock

Go away

Pull the trigger

And see your shadow laughing

Transatlantic

There's no one there

It's no cold comfort

With your conscience calling



X X the eyes

C. C. Rider riding

On the morning tide

To the fall horizon

Sic, sic the wolves

And hope it don't get ugly

A trick pony

He don't know me

He don't know me at all


MICHAEL DUNFORD'S RENAISSANCE lyrics - Star Of The Show



What did become of the girl I once knew

What of the glamour and pain

Those were the days, yes the star of the show

There up in lights shone my name

Shone my name



I fell in love with the man of my dreams

He was so handsome and kind

One day I found her alone in his arms

A pretty young girl from the line, chorus line

Chorus line



[Chorus:]

I lost faith in myself

Couldn't face publicity

What this man had done to me

And I was right, and he was wrong

Foolish pride got in my way

If I'd looked the other way

I would still be the star of the show



I vowed I'd never go back on my word

No-one would treat me this way

Only close friends knew how he broke my heart

A secret I kept to this day

To this day



[Chorus]



Time passes slowly and people forget

No-one remembers my name

Such a price, such is fame

DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES lyrics - You Ain't Livin' Till You're Lovin'



(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)



You think you're so wayout

And you get all the action

But still you can't find no satisfaction



You specialize in playing the field

But now that the game

Has lost its appeal



Baby, try me

I'll make you see

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all



You like to kiss and run

And think that's where it is

'Cause somebody told you

Love was heartache and tears

You won't take a chance

On nobody else

You think you can make it

All by yourself



Baby, try me

And I'll make you see

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all



To be in love

I know it's not your ambition

So before you go

Think about my proposition



You may conquer the world

And be king of your throne

But you still ain't nobody, babe

When you're sittin' all alone



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all

At all



You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe

You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby

You ain't livin'

Ooh, try me

You ain't livin'

Ooh, I'll make you see

You ain't livin'

Oh, yeah how sweet

You ain't livin'

MANOWAR lyrics - Violence And Bloodshed



Civilization crumblin' fast

End the world with a blast

People afraid walkin' the streets

Scums have their day

'Til they run into me



Are you ready?



Livin' in fear ain't livin to me

I'm armed with a gun defending the free

They blew it in 'Nam

Shot up my friends

I'm back in the street

The fight never ends

I was born with a gun in my hand

I'll die for my country

But I'll die like a man



Violence and Bloodshed

Violence and Bloodshed

Violence and Bloodshed



Now that we're back to animal law

The payback's a bitch

I'm paying all

All my life I been waitin' to see

Who's gonna win, crumbs or me



Are you ready?



My brother's still in Da-Nang

Puttin' an ad in the back of Kerrang

I'm lookin' for people who just wanna kill

We'll go back to 'Nam 'cause no one else win



Land of the free

Home of the brave

Now that's how it is

And that's how it stays



Violence and Bloodshed

Violence and Bloodshed

Violence and Bloodshed


DAVID CROSBY lyrics - Melody



(David Crosby and Craig Doerge)



[Intro. (Electric Piano)]



Melody

You are my reason for being

In my life's coldest season I

I keep on seeing you melody



I am such a patchwork of a man

Out here trying to catch

Every whisper that I can

Of you melody mmm...



Wander you know you wander

Through my life

All the time

Follow you know I'll follow

And when I do

Then my life starts to rhyme



[Instrumental (Synth)]



Sometimes I lose it

I abuse it and I fall

Into the worst damn places of all



Sometimes I even

Start to close my eyes

And then silence

Comes to claim me as its prize



[Instrumental (Electric Piano)]



Suddenly, suddenly nearby

A song rises up to fly

Melody oh, melody

Oh, music, music of my life I love you

I love you, I love you, yes I do

I love you, I love you

I love you, oh



[Ending (Electric Guitar)]


RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Wreck Shop



We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop

We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop



[D. M.C.]

I kick a wicked rhyme, what more can I tell ya

You're quick to pick and find a hardcore record seller

I paved the way for days, I'm a new wave yeller

For decades gettin paid, comin straight from the cellar

The paper was my trade so I stayed in the lab

Now the record's gettin played on the tape that you have

I'm like a heavyweight with a great left jab

Keep it truck diesel for the sake of the ave

Never bring no witness cause I freak this with uniqueness

For the rap fan, black man talks decent

Prop me, jock me, rock but don't stop me

If a man's got belief then a man's got beef

Sometimes I get sore from the war of a tour

To wreck it down??, to get the crowd to roar

The records get dropped and my lyrics get popped

Let me off next stop cause I'm flex to wreck shop now



We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop



[Run]

Bust it!

I wreck shop, now pull your leg I beg your pardon

And rock a wicked rhyme like eighty-seven at the Garden

The hardest of the hard and I be harder for the hardened

?? but the smartest broken artists by the carton

Livin while I'm givin?? ??

Not hear to bust your bubble send your trouble down the drain

Hurry on the double cool and subtle that's our game

My crew came out the huddle and I know you'll feel the pain

We wreck shop, and I can see they always give in

Life is like a mic and that's exactly how I'm livin

Ladies love the lover and the lover love the women

My name is DJ Run but you can call me Joseph Simmons and



We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop

We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop



[D. M.C.]

Cop, you can't stop or drop, you shop wrecker

The mic checker, I take my pilgramage to Mecca

Jay with the records still a dose of double-decker

Me and Run'll come and have some fun, and we'll wreck a



Shop on down, to the last stop, ha

We're givin rhythm to the Wisdoms on the block, ha

And ain't no business be a witness to the shot, ha

?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??



Stomp the competition, opposition seeks to

Confuse abuse and use all that I speak to

I bust a sucker, a nucca that I speak through

They keep pursuin never doin D. M.C. you

Get ready set up, I'm bout to go head up

You better shut up, you're gonna be a dead up

Bucked and stuck your butt broke and chopped

The East coast boast the most, we wreck shop now!



We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop

We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop



We wreck shop, you know we wreck shop [3x]

You know we know we know we wreck shop

FATES WARNING lyrics - Night On Brocken



April thirtieth, the souls of the risen

are leading the way. The first of May.

Black magic night, witches holiday,

their torches glow.

Eternal evil, it summons

the lords of hell, just once a year,

compel and beware the spell of the jackyl.

Can't break the spell,

won't break the spell,

the spell of the shadowless man.



The witches fornicate, the demons dance,

blackmass romance.

In hellish praise

round Brцcken they prance,

their numbers grow.

A harpie chants, fire fountains glow,

virgin of snow burnt by the torch

of the one with no shadow.

I saw his face, I've seen him before,

the face of the shadowless man.



As dawn breaks through the trees,

lonely town falls to their knees,

a solemn belfry begins to toll.

The mass begins sing familiar hymns,

man in black has his back to the crowd.

Spreads his wings and turns around,

as my heart begins to pound.



Because you, you're the one I

saw in flight, at Walpurgis Night.

You've betrayed and cursed the light,

at Walpurgis Night.

You're the one I saw in flight,

at Walpurgis Night.

At the setting of the sun.



Because you, you're the one I

saw in flight, at Walpurgis Night.

You've betrayed and cursed the light,

at Walpurgis Night.

You're the one I saw in flight,

at Walpurgis Night.

At the setting of the sun.


CAT STEVENS lyrics - Peace Train



Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come

And I believe it could be, something good has begun



Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one

And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come



Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again



Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come

And I believe it could be, something good has begun



Oh peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train

Come on now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller



Everyone jump upon the peace train

Come on now peace train



Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too

Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you



Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you

And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true



Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is

Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss



Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Dreamsome



(Shelby Lynne, Dorothy Overstreet and Jay Joyce)



In the dark I can hear you whisper

Shadows still, move across the distance



What did you say, it's okay

Did you miss me

Did you miss me



Make it mine, takin' time, forgotten

Speak for me, silent plea, surrender



What did you say, it's okay

Did you miss me

Did you miss me



You know at times I wondered

If you ever thought of me

And I wondered if you wanted to be free

Like me, and I needed to feel you and

I wondered did you miss me baby, oh yeah



Turn to gray, bluer shade, when the sun comes

Peaceful time, cease your mind, Dreamsome



What did you say, it's okay, oh baby

Did you miss me

Did you miss me

Did you miss me

Did you miss me

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - The Long Black Rifle



(L. Coleman/N. Gimbel)



Come closer, my love, and you'll hear my tale. It'll make you cold. It'll turn you pale.

It's a tale of a man's never ending love and the long black rifle.



[Chorus:]

He wed a woman sworn to another and, in a rage, the other man

Shot him down with a long, black rifle, shot him down and away he ran.



A prairie man loved a city maid. Was the love he took worth the price he paid,

When a man ends up at the smoky end of a long black rifle?



[Chorus]



His dyin' words I repeat to you. "You can never kill love when love is true.

It lives when only the rust is left of the long black rifle.



[Chorus]



Shot him down and away he ran.


ELOY lyrics - Paralysed Civilization



Salvation out of sight

a piercing gold inside

obscures the astral light

expanding alienation

a fatal transformation

Minds caught in space and time

await the final sign

deceptive visions shine

a fading age is left behind

Dawning - feel the heartbeat of creation

Dawning - signals of predestination

Warning - civilization in decay

the children of the future led astray

Expelled from paradise

a wasted sacrifice

tears turning into ice

perverted evolution

senseless revolution

scared by uncertainty

blind to reality

lost in infinity

eerie moonlight shadows in the night

Ancient trails in the sand

gone with the winds of eternity

no beginning, no end

all cycles end in infinity

let your intuition's fire burn

trust your guide inside

surpass the stairway of no return

towards the dawn of light

Lone age of vanity

mindless insanity

hail to technology

a spectral fascination

aimless navigation

no motion in the air

a silent scream somewhere

oscillations of dispair

Warning - stirring fears of termination

Warning - paralysed civilization

Dawning - step into a new millennium

the neverending challenge of mankind

It's the time - Beware the final sign, awake your senses

It's the time - Approach the turn of time, don't fear the changes

It's the time - Ride on the wings of light, escape the darkness

It's the time - Heed to your voice inside, defeat the madness


ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Ballad Of Danny Bailey



Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey

In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel

Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle

Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life

And there's not many knew him the way that we did

Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids



Now it's all over Danny Bailey

And the harvest is in

Dillinger's dead

I guess the cops won again

Now it's all over Danny Bailey

And the harvest is in



We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills

Without Danny Bailey we're gonna have to break up our stills

So mark his grave well `cause Kentucky loved him

Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him

And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by

A running gun youngster in a sad restless age

DON HENLEY lyrics - Man With A Mission



(Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar and J. D. Souther)



I see these women at the car wash; women at the mall

Little-bitty women, and women who are tall

One of them is perfect and I want her for myself

And I'm never gonna settle for anybody else

All my good buddies try to fix me up-

Buddy, I've had enough



I'm gonna run a few red lights; grind a few gears

Start a few fist fights; drink a few beers

Even though I'm tryin' every trick in the book

You give me drop dead (drop dead), drop dead looks

You are the finest women that I've ever seen

Why you wanna be so mean?





Well, everybody tries to tell me

There's nothin' I can do

But I'm a man with a mission

Baby, you know it's you



Well, I'm a man with a mission

Man with a mission

Man with a mission

Baby, you know it's you - it's you



Everybody runnin' round here

Sayin, "Where's the party? Where's the party?"

Sonny boy, don't ask me, 'cause I don't know

I got somethin' else on my mind today-

Somewhere else to go



Well-a, well-a, well-a everybody tries to tell me

There's nothin' I can do

But I'm a man on a mission

Babym you know it's you


STEVE EARLE lyrics - Close Your Eyes



(Steve Earle)



I dreamed you were standing

On the edge of the world

And I thought I heard you call out

With one foot on the rock

And one a cloud

Was it just the wind that I heard

Close your eyes

This world won't stop spinning you know

Close your eyes

Why don't you just let go

Thousands of people searchin' out there

Most of em lookin' for love

But nothing is something

That there's plenty of

In time we'll all get our share

When I was a child

And they put me to bed

They always took care that I prayed

But the part that goes, if I should

Die fore I wake

Echoed all night in my head


PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - The Unicorn Song



(Margie Adam)



When I was growing up my best friend was a unicorn

The others smiled at me and called me "crazy"

But I was not upset by knowing I did not conform

I always thought their seeing must be hazy.

The unicorn and I would while away the hours

Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers

And we'd sing



[Chorus:]

Seeing is believing in the things you see

Loving is believing in the ones you love.

Seeing is believing in the things you see

Loving is believing in the ones you love.



When I was seventeen my best friend was the Northern Star

The others asked why I was always dreaming

When I did not reply I found my thoughts were very far

Away from daily hurts and fears and scheming.

The Northern Star and I would share our dreams together

Laughing, sighing, sometimes crying, in all kinds of weather

and we'd sing



[Chorus]



And now that I am grown, my best friend lives inside of me

The others smile at me and call me "crazy"

But I am not upset, for long ago I found the key

I've always known their seeing must be hazy.

My friend inside and I would while away the hours

Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers

And we'd sing



[Chorus 2x]

MARILLION lyrics - Tumble Down The Years



(Hogarth/Helmer/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



She took my hand and said "Let's go together"

"You and me against the world"

And so we stuck it out through still and stormy weather

And so we tumbled down the years

I took her hand and said "Let's go together"

Just you and me against the world

Let's go together

Stay together

We'll tumble down the years

And we'll come to find the key behind it all



We never stopped to see if we were still in step

We never checked each other's eyes

To see who lived in there behind them

And down the years we disappeared



Let's go together

Say no together

We'll tumble down the years

Let's try together

Let's lie together

We'll tumble down the years



And though we never found the key behind it all

I think we came to know the meaning of the fall



Let's go together

We said "forever"

You and me against the world

Hold on together

And damn the river

We'll tumble down the years

We'll tumble down the years

We'll tumble down the years
