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.

Well everybody's getting down, we're getting down to business
Cant say??? train, you dont want to miss this,

We'll be bringing and singing just like the rolling stones
We're gonna shake up your souls

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

I wanna know...love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal

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
say they're concerned
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

Make up your mind
Decide, decide

Confuse, confuse
Describe what I found

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
