HAWKWIND lyrics - Beam Me Up

(Tree)



Supernatural. Biological. Transluscent glaze.

Night Spirit. The Folding Eye. Free my soul

Supernatural. Extra Terrestrial. Supernatural. Extra Terrestrial

Beam Me Up.

I'm being beamed up. Now.

"The fusion bomb was invented in 1934 but we didn't see it until 1945"

Hiroshima. Nagasaki. The fusion bomb, the future bomb. Is always wrong.

The neutron bomb.

Monitored by the alien control satellites.

We have holographic images showing the destruction of the World.

I thought it was a dream but then I wasn't in bed

A fractured dream

Through the broken screen

Projected. Injected

Into my head

Under the skin

Inside my mind

Through the golden stream of time

Into my mind

Through the golden stream of time

I'm being beamed. Up. Now.

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Violets For Your Furs

It was winter in manhattan

Falling snowflakes filled the air

The streets were covered with a film of ice

But a little simple magic that I'd heard about somewhere

Changed the weather all around, just withn a trice



You bought me violets for my furs

And it was spring for a while, remember?

You bought me violets for my furs

And there was april in that december

The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay

The snow looked leke dew on the blossoms

As on a summer day



You bought me violets for my furs

Aand there was blue in the wintry sky

You pinned the violets to my furs

And gave a lift to the crowds passing by

You smiled at me so sweetly

Since then one thought occurs

That we fell in love completely

The day you bought me violets for my furs

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Sad About Girls

(Brain/Hart)



To all the girls that awake to escape in the morning

You want to leave him without even a warning, a trace, or a calling card

Sad about girls who know perfectly well why he's so sad about this girl

He's so mad about this girl tonight



So understanding--oh, she's so undemanding

So in control, so on the whole--she's so good to you until it gets to you

Sad about girls in your polythene world

Where you unwrap and rewrap and know when she leaves

That the next girl to suffer, putting you [posed?]

Unwrap and love you before she can know you

She's just got to show you the way that you're gonna be sad



Sad about girls that awake to escape in the morning

Get up and leave without even a warning

But no where is sad as the girls in the night

So ready to please you, so ready to bite

Sad about girls who know perfectly well he's so sad about this girl

You're so sad about your girl tonight



Sad about girls tonight

So sad about girls tonight

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Poison Lovers

(Steve Earle)



I was almost out of here

Nearly left this time

I saw you in my rearview mirror

And I pulled up on a dime

But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost

You can't say we didn't try

That is unless you weigh the cost

Of every tear we cried



[Chorus:]

Why do we do this to each other

I guess we were always poison lovers



If you could look me in the eye

And tell me what you see

Maybe you can tell me why

I let you torture me

I know that your lips are soft

And they sing the sweetest songs

But I've been listenin' long enough

My heart has turned to stone



[Chorus]



Another time, another place

Another wind to blame

Cover every track and trace

I'll find you just the same

And even if we made our peace

And went our separate ways

You'd go west and I'd go east

And we'd meet here in this place



[Chorus 2x]

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - I'd Cry Like A Baby

I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye

I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July

If you ever said you were leaving for good

I'd weep like a weeping willow, honest I would

I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon

I'd let out a wail that would be heard to the moon

Our love was so splendid don't end it so soon

Don't leave me here sighing, sobbing and a-sighing

Crying like a baby for you



I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye

I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July

If you ever said you were leaving for good

I'd weep like a weeping willow, honest I would

I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon

I'd let out a wail that would be heard to the moon

Our love was so splendid don't end it so soon

Don't leave me here sighing, sobbing and a-sighing

Crying like a baby for you

DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Goodbye

I've been waiting, goin' crazy

I can't sleep when I know you're not around

I've been saving what you're cravin'

Look at my face I'm about to replace

Every hurt, every tear that you cry



Cause when you feel this strong and you can't go on

There's nothing wrong, just try to realize



You won't ever have to say goodbye

You won't ever have to say "I've wasted all my time"

If the dream you dream ain't what it seems

Just look into my eyes

You won't ever have to say goodbye



I'm just praying, you hear me saying

I'd be there if the sun refused to shine

As the night gets colder I will be your shoulder

I give you my heart until death us do part

Every day, every moment, forever



Cause when the love is strong the feeling's never gone

There's nothing wrong in trying to realize



You won't ever have to say goodbye

You won't ever have to say "I've wasted all my time"

If the dream you dream ain't what it seems

Just look into my eyes

You won't ever have to say goodbye



Cause when your feeling's strong and you can't go on

There's nothing wrong, just try to realize



You won't ever have to say goodbye

You won't ever have to say "I've wasted all my time"

If the dream you dream ain't what it seems

Just look into my eyes

You won't ever have to say goodbye

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Mrs. God

(Andi Deris)



Mrs. God, am I right?

That's your real address?

This time it's you

Ready to confess?

Free the masculine world

Cancel their humility



Mrs. God, can it be?

Can you be alike

One dressed to kill?

Walk on, high-heeled bride

This would state and explain

Why men are sometimes stumbling



Mrs. God are you there

Laughing at us is not fair

Mrs. God can't you see

All that shit you've done to me (and us)



Mrs. God, may I say

As wild card of my kind

We were so deceived (yeah)

You'd better left us blind



Mrs. God we are cool

We take it with a smile

But don't be cruel

Let's add it to the file

And in some 100 years

God has always had beard



Mrs. God are you there

Laughing at us is not fair

Mrs. God can't you see

All that shit you've done to me (and us)

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - When You Come Home

My heart is beating, the clock is ticking out your name, and I am keeping the light on for you,

Another sunrise, but your room is just an empty place,

I close my eyes, I see your face.



And, in the silence, I can hear sweet echoes of your voice so clear,

And, in my dreams, I hold you near when you come home.



Whoa, when you come home I'm gonna run to you,

Hold you to my heart the way I've wanted to,

Sing and dance all night just like we used to do, when you come home.



My heart is beating a million thoughts of love for you, and I am keeping a place for you,

The rain reminds me of your tears I've saved in a bottle all these years,

They'll all be diamonds for you here, when you come home.



Whoa, when you come home I'll keep you here to stay,

Follow my tears if you can't find the way,

I'll look out where the highway meets the sky each day 'til you come home.



You are the treasure of my heart, you are the longing of my soul,

I'll be waiting here for you until the angels bring...bring you home,

Bring you home, whoa.



When you come home I'm gonna run to you,

Hold you to my heart the way I've wanted to,

Sing and dance all night just like we used to do, when you come home,

When you come home I'll keep you here to stay,

Follow my tears if you can't find the way,

I'll look out where the highway meets the sky each day 'til you come home,

'Til you come home.



Follow my tears,

My tears.

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - The Nomad

(Murray, Harris)



Like a mirage riding on the desert sand

Like a vision floating with the desert winds

Know the secret of the ancient desert lands

Your are the keeper of the mystery in your hands



Nomad, rider of the ancient east

Nomad, rider that men know the least

Nomad, where you come from no one knows

Nomad, where you go to no one tells



Undercover of the veil of your disguise

The men that fear you are the ones that you despise

No one's certain what you future will behold

You're a legend you own story will be told



Nomad, rider of the ancient east

Nomad, rider that men know the least

Nomad, where you come from no one knows

Nomad, where you go to no one tells



No one dares to even look or glance your way

Your reputation goes before you they all say

Like a spirit that can disappear at will

Many claim of things but no one's seen you kill



Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious

Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us

Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands

No man's ever understood your genius



Those who see you in horizon desert sun

Those who fear your reputation hide or run

You send before you a mystique that's all your own

Your silhouette is like a statue carved in stone



Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious

Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us

Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands

No man ever understood your genius



Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue

But no one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale

Some may say that you have killed a hundred men

Others say that you have died and live again



Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious

Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us

Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands

No man ever understood your genius

FOREIGNER lyrics - Two Different Worlds

I know this girl, she's always on my mind

She lives in her world and I live in mine

I should forget about her and I've tried

Lord knows I've tried

But I want to know her, and here's the other side



I've got someone waiting for me every night

She's the only one I've ever loved

And it's been that way for the longest time

She's the one that makes my world go right

And it tears me in two because I know where I'll be tonight



I think she knows it

I think she knows



Two different worlds, two different worlds

One that belongs to me, one could be wrong for me

Two different worlds, two different worlds

Oh, two different worlds



Is she that different or is it the thrill of someone new

Strung out on her, I need her love

I need it bad, and I know, I know it's true

I'm the one that lies awake alone

I know, she's the one that makes me stray from home



And I know it

Yeah, I know it



Two different worlds, two different worlds

One that I may regret, one that I can't forget

Two different worlds, two different worlds

Oh, always two different worlds



No, I can't explain this emptiness

No, I know I can't go on like this

Two different worlds, two different worlds



Two different worlds

I live in two different worlds

One that I may regret, one that I won't forget

Two different worlds

But I can't live in both, I know

One world I must let go

PRINCE lyrics - My Name Is Prince

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)

My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince the one and only

I did not come 2 funk around

'Tll I get your daughter I won't leave this town

In the beginning God made the sea

But on the 7th day he made me

He was tryin' to rest y'all when He heard the sound

Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down

I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string

My God was worried 'til he heard me sing



My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me



(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)



My name is Prince and I am funky

When it come to funk I am a junky

I know from righteous I know from sin

I got 2 sides and they both friends

Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much too fast

If u try to stop 'em they kick that ass

Without a pistol, without a gun

When u hear my music you'll be havin' fun

That's when I gottcha that's when u mine

To tell the truth, tell me what's my line?



My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me (You can't stop Prince)



(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Prince)



My name is Prince, I don't wanna be king

Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream

Big cars and women and fancy clothes

Will save your face but it won't save your soul

I'm here to tell you that there's a better way

Would our Lord be happy if He came 2 day?

I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than u

But if u want 2 play with me, u better learn the rules



My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)

I did not come 2 funk around (You can't stop Prince)

'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town

I won't leave this - leave this - leave this



My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)

My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)

Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

(Do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (Do that, do that, some....)



The funkier I be

The funkier I get, oh shit

Lickety split on the lyric

A new jack in the pulpit

Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'

What is this u're seekin'?

The syncopated rhymes are at their peak

When you jumped on my D. I.C. K.

That's the one thing that I don't play

The jock strap was 2 big 4 u anyway

U're just a simpleton

I'll bust u like a pimple, son

My star is 2 bright

Boy, I'll sink u like the ship Poseidon Adventure

U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure

There must be more coming from

Your mouth than manure.

So with a flow and a spray, I say hey

U must become a prince before u're king anyway



(Do that, do that somebody)

(Do that, do that somebody)



It's time I get ig-nig-nig-nig-nig-nig-n-ignorant

Def be the beat that I'm rockin'

Yo so, come get a hit

And put your thinking cap on

U've been forewarned

I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewin'

In my cauldron. That means my nugget...

Sometimes I'm rugged

The style I posses be havin'

The other brothers buggin' and this is 4 those who oppose

And propose 2 overexpose disclose

Pose a threat 2 my brother

Like any other man makin' a stand

I'll be damned if I let u play this hand

I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked

What do u expect 2 win when u're used to playing craps?



(Do that, do that somebody)

Hell yeah, let's get this under the hmm...

(Do that, do that somebody)



"Damn." It's gettin' tricky

I mean it's a sticky situation

2 resurrect a groove with feeling

And give it this much affection

Passion flows and who knows

What lurks in the gallows of my mind

I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow

12 inches of non-stop sole

I'm on a roll with P, and it's time for the show

So do that, do that somebody

Wave your hands in the air

This is a motherfucking party

While u're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack

Give yourself a bone

This is my house and I'm prone

2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers dome

And I'm out...



My name is Prince and I am funky

My name is Prince the one and only



My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince

My name is Prince



My name is Prince

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - If I Get Home On Christmas Day

If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day



Writing letters everyday

Never really seem to say

The way I feel deep in this heart of mine

Thought I'm half a world away

If we're patient and we pray

Know I'll get my chance with you this time



If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - The Man You Need

I never did believe

That I would end up losing you this way

As far as I could see

The life we had was always gonna stay

And I tried to be

The man you need



I'll never understand

What I expected out of loving you

The way we had it planned

There always could be

Room enough for two

To live and grow

How could I know

I wouldn't be the man you need



And I wanna know why

Yeah, I wanna know how

Say I wanna know where

Everything went wrong

And I'm sorry, 'cause I love you



You told me more than once

I never understood my way around

The way that things worked out

I'm still not really sure

Of where I'm bound

You knew me well

I should have seen

I couldn't be the man you need



And I reach for the sky

I reach for the stars

And all of the time

I was reaching for you

And I'm sorry, 'cause I love you



Say it now again

I'm holdin' on

I've only just begun

To learn the meaning of not having you

I thought for sure

That I would be the man

You need forever more



That I would be the man

You need forever more

I want to be the man

You need forever more

QUIET RIOT lyrics - You Drive Me Crazy

Tiger eyes

Just as wild as you make me feel

Tantalize

Make my designs hard to conceal

Trying hard to hold on to you

Waterfall in my hand you're slippin' through

Tried so hard it makes me scream



Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy

I don't know what to do

All you do is you're drivin' me crazy

It makes me feel so good, so good, so good



Will you stay and give me time to work it out

Day by day

Lose my mind without a doubt

Don't want to hang you up this way

Just wanna lay you down and play

I'm gonna go out of my mind



Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy

I don't know what to do

All you do is you're drivin' me crazy

It makes me feel so good, so good, so good



Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)

I don't know what to do

All you do is you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)

It makes me feel so good



Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)

I don't know what to do

All you do is you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)

It makes me feel so good



Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)

I don't know what to do

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Get The Balance Right

There's more besides

Joyrides

The little house in the countryside

Understand

Learn to demand

Compromise

And sometimes lie



Get the balance right

Get the balance right



Be responsible

Respectable

Stable but gullible

Concerned and caring

Help the helpless

But always remain

Ultimately selfish



When you think you've got a hold of it all

You haven't got a hold at all

When you reach the top

Get ready to drop

Prepare yourself for the fall

You're gonna fall

It's almost predictable



Almost



Don't turn this way

Don't turn that way

Straight down the middle until next Thursday

First to the left

Then back to the right

Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Almost Home

(Mary Chapin Carpenter/Beth Nielson Chapman/Annie Roboff)



I saw my life this morning

Lying at the bottom of a drawer

All this stuff I'm saving

God knows what this junk is for

And whatever I believed in

This is all I have to show

What the hell were all reasons

For holding on for such dear life

Here's where I let go



I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home



I saw you this morning

You were looking straight at me

From an ancient photograph

Stuck between letters and some keys

I was lost just for a moment

In the ache of old goodbyes

Sometimes all that we can know is

There's no such thing as no regrets

Baby it's all right



I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home

There's no such thing as no regrets

But baby it's alright

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home

ACCEPT lyrics - Primitive

What you're gonna do

When you turn on the news

And a dictator smiles at you



What you're gonna do

When you try to escape

But big brother is watching you



What you're gonna do

When your own flesh and blood

Comes around and beats you up



What you're gonna do

When it's too much to swallow

And they still stick it down your throat



Primitive, I wanna be primitive

Primitive, let me be primitive



What you're gonna do

When it's sin after sin

and you know it's not gonna stop



What you're gonna do

When you feel all the shame

and the guilt creeping up on you



What vou're gonna do

When it's time to take a stand

and it's time for some real change



All I wanna do

Is to shed my skin

And leave it all behind



Primitive, I wanna be primitive

Primitive, let me be primitive

MEAT LOAF lyrics - Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through

You can't run away for ever

But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start

You want to shut out the night, you wnat to shut down the sun

You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart



Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be list'ning to the radio so loud and so strong

Ev'ry golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs



I treasure your love

I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it



I treasure your love

I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it



Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true

You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,

and let the drummer tell your heart what to do



Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby



There's always something magic

There's always something new

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through

The beat is yours for ever

The beat is always true

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through,

for you



[Instrumental bridge]



Once upon a time was a backbeat

Once upon a time all the chords came to life

And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night



I treasure your love

I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it



I treasure your love

I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it



Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true

You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,

and let the drummer tell your heart what to do



Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby



There's always something magic

There's always something new

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through

The beat is yours for ever

The beat is always true

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through,

For you!



(The beat is yours for ever. That's when rock and roll dreams come through)

AEROSMITH lyrics - The Other Side

Mm mm mm, mm mm mm, mm mm mm,

mm mm mm mm mm, Yeah

Come on.



[Chorus:]

Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)

Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)

Forget about your foolish pride (take me to the other side)

Oh take me to the other side (take me to the other side)



My mamma told me there'd be days like this

And man she wasn't foolin'

'Cause I just can't believe the way you kiss

Uh uh huh

You opened up your mouth with baited breath

You said you'd never leave me.

You love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss

You're cryin' me a river but I got to get across



[Chorus]



I'm lookin' for another kind of love

Oh Lordy, how I need it.

The kind that likes to leap without a shove

Oh, honey, best believe it.

To save a lot of time and foolish pride I'll say what's on my mind, girl

You loved me, you hate me, you cut me down to size.

You blinded me with love and yeah it opened up my eyes



Lovin' you has got to be (take me to the other side)

like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)

My conscience got to be my guide (take me to the other side)

Oh honey take me, take, take, take, take, take



Take me to the other side

I'm lookin' for another kind of love

Oh Lordy, how I need it.

The kind that likes to leap without a shove

Honey, best you believe it.

Now I ain't one for sayin' long goodbyes.

I hope all is forgiven

You loved me, you hate me, I used to be your lover

You know you had it comin' girl so take me to the other side

Take me to the other side, take me to the other side



Lovin' you has got to be (take me to the other side)

like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)

My conscience got to be my guide (take me to the other side)

Oh honey take me to the other side



[Chorus]

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - I Wouldn't Wanna Be You

(Randy Sharp/Jeff Silbar)



You don't have a clue

You're so far gone

He's got you dancin' to

A siren's song

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be, I wouldn't wanna be



You're not the first he's drawn

To his flame

He means to do you wrong

He has no shame

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be, I wouldn't wanna be you



It's easy to understand

How you could fall so hard

You're not the only one

He's taken in and torn apart



Won't say I told you so

But I'm afraid it's true

You're about to go

What I went through

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be

I wouldn't wanna be you right now

I wouldn't wanna be, I wouldn't wanna be you

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Beach Boy Blues

(Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett)



I'm a poor Hawaiian beach boy

A long way from the beach

'Cause someone shoved his face against my hand

Now I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can



I was minding my own business

But drinking daddy's juice

I swear I'll never touch that stuff again

Just like a pig before he gave his all that aluhau

I'm in the pen



Got those beach boy blues

Don't the time go slow

Lonely beach boy blues

Only 30 day's and 90 years to go



I want a taste of honey

From my wahini's lips

I want to be her ever loving man

But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can



But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple

I'm in the can

ICE CUBE lyrics - Doing Dumb Shit

Get your ass in here, boy

You hear me calling you?

O'Shea!>



When I was young I used to hang with the seventh graders

Little bad motherfucker playing Space Invaders

Fucking with the girls in the fourth grade

Either feeling on they butts or pulling on they braids

Walking with the schoolhouse bully

By doing that, I had a lot of pull, G

Cheating on tests, making a mess

Cussing like a sailor at recess

It must a been a half moon

Cause you'll catch me running out the little girls' bathroom

Chewing on Good and Plenties

Got my gamble on at lunch pitching pennies

Yo I was living like the class clown

Pulling all the hokes, making all the jokes man

When you young it's hard to see

That it's wrong throwing rocks at the RTD

Popping out your window with a BB gun

Better yet knocking on your door and run

Playing hide-and-go-get-it for a little stank

Even though I was still shooting blanks

As soon as the dark hit

I was stealing candy out the corner market

Until I got my ass whipped

Cause I was ten years old, doing dumb shit



Thirteen, that's how old I was

When my jimmy started getting a little peach fuzz

And I was looking at any butt and ass

Me and my homies started cutting class

Going up to the high school

Looking for any bitch I could lie to

Tell em I was older than I really was

Smoked my first joint and got really buzzed

That's what a mack's made of

But when I got my first piece of pussy I fell in love

Hard as a rock the long way

And then I put the rubber on the wrong way

But I still gotta have it

Overexcited and fucking like a jackrabbit

Goddamn I was hot

A virgin but I still knew how to lay pipe

Even though the hoe worked me

I still knocked the boots from here to Albuquerque

Then the shit got strange money

I started shaking and jimmy felt funny

Then the nut came gushing

I jumped up got dressed and start pushing

Cause I thought the bitch broke my dick

Cause I was still young doing dumb shit



At 17 got my first Volkswagon

And mastered the life-long art of dragging

To the women in college

Hung out with the OG's and got some street knowledge

Breaking in cars and all that

Hitting punk fools with a baseball bat

Fucking at a real fast rate

Til they said that I might not graduate

Then I said fuck the dumb shit

Cause Pops'll fuck me up quick

If things continued

So I start rapping about shit I been through

And I got real good

Now I look at all the kids in the neighborhood

Trying to be baby macks

Doing shit that I did seven years back

Going through a stage

But before they can grow up they on the front page

And they mommas is having a fit

Cause they died young doing dumb shi

[LL Cool J]

They said I wasn't rough, too much dough, he got an old flow

Everytime you open your mouth you feel your elbow

I'll catch a felony on top of a melody

brought a family, and dough woulda been so happily

I'll beat the Laker off of a clown and chop him down to size

Sick of all these wanna-be bad guys

Made loot, many g's, bought a crib where I live

told my kids - "yo, damn, that I'm a fugitive"

Runnin' from the streets and our beats - the sad sheets, uh

A sunny beach, video hoes within reach

Farmers Boulevard - liberty and forty is gone

And E ain't put nobody on

When I came back to smack and give 'em a welt

like belts makin' them strip and all of that

Punks better run for they guns

I'm not the one and can't nobody rule until L's done

It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

I worked the Murphy on the mix

What's wrong with these stupid lunatics playin' "Joint" for a drag-bit?

I'm harder than-?find in a jar?

People wasn't rippin' these records, all of y'all would get robbed

I'm comin' straight out the barrel with your name on my arm

blowin' the hoody of your head like a home-made bomb (BOOM!!)

I'm big and so you figured I would relax (nah!)

Don't ever sleep I'll wake ya up with an axe

The Boulevard ain't safe for my beats - drop the herb

Twenty times harder without a curse

Makin' rats flee, hardcore - and that's me!!

The baddest soloist in hip-hop history

L-L-C-to-the-O-to-the-O-L-J, so what'cha wanna know?

Throw ya in the MVP on your knees G

A crowbar in your mouth - now ask me...

My territory's hard, I'm rollin' with one railguard

The microphone is my credit card

Blowin' your boots off, freeload - you're too soft

Usin' a butcher's knife to make your whole root call

I heard somebody said the skills wasn't good

I'm lettin' eighty tigers loose in this neighborhood (RAH!!)

I pop the willies on my bike, lickin' shots

and laughin' everytime you sneak a weak paragraph in

You blowin' your mind, blunted and cocoa and time

ain't nuttin' changed, you wrote another wack rhyme

I'll leave your bullet-bittled body on the curb

lookin' slerve with a t-shirt - DON'T DISTURB THE HERB!!!

You're the next contestant tonight

Come on down to my shake clown - the slice is right

Rip your jaw out the socket, been rockin' for years

tell the troop, you're still look with E and drop it!

AS I DEAF-TIFY YOUR EYE, COMPETITION TRIES TO MASS MY SIZE!!

Buryin' the acts and your back will be rhymes and tracks

JOURNEY lyrics - Sweet And Simple

(Perry)



Try and keep it simple,

Not too far away,

Movin' slow, so simple,

Never felt this way.



Movin' sweet, so simple,

Takin' time to say,

The way to being, to being simple

Never felt this way.



Don't be lonely,

Oh, my friends, forget the past.

Sweet as sugar,

When you're movin'

When you're movin' slow at last

It's what I like to do.



How could it be so simple?

To forget the way,

A way to being, to being simple

Never felt this way.



Don't be lonely,

No, no, no, forget the past.

Sweet as sugar,

When you're movin' slow

Your movin' slow at last

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely

It's what I like to do.

Sweet as sugar, sugar, sugar

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

Movin' slow, movin' slow at last

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely

It's what I like to do.

It's what I like to do.

Sweet as sugar

JOHN LENNON lyrics - I Found Out

I told you before, stay away from my door

Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother

The freaks on the phone, won't leave me alone

So don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother No!

I, I found out!

I, I found out!



Now that I showed you what I been through

Don't take nobody's word what you can do

There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky

Now that I found out I know I can cry



I, I found out!

I, I found out!



Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand

Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man

I heard something 'bout my Ma and my Pa

They didn't want me so they made me a star



I, I found out!

I, I found out!



Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you

Just keep you crazy with nothing to do

Keep you occupied with pie in the sky

There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes



I, I found out!

I, I found out!



I seen through junkies, I been through it all

I seen religion from Jesus to Paul

Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine

No one can harm you, feel your own pain



I, I found out!

I, I found this out!

I, I found out!

JOHN HIATT lyrics - The Love That Harms

Shes seen the whites of crazy eyes

Been in the camps of foreign spies

Taken lovers by surprise

The captives smile

But all the while she is wearing a disguise



Better men have been betrayed

Better men have been afraid

Shes the best trick in the trade

Just another kiss

On a long hit list and shes got you made



I'd hoped I wouldnt haven't to tell you

But now it begins

The fool has rushed in

Into the waiting arms

Of the love that harms



I never knew such a hurting thing

Until she wore my wedding ring

And all the pain her love can bring

Well, I'm telling you

So you wont go through what I'm still remembering



But I can see that its just too late

The next in line is gonna have to wait

Thought we all meet the same fate

In a tomb thats sealed

With a kiss of steal from a blinding date



Ready or not she got you willing

Now it begins

The fool has rushed in

Into the waiting arms of the love that harms.

STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Jet Set (Sigh)

If you dogrow

Then you must know

When you get so jive

You only half alive

Show me right now

That you know how

You can stand up

Look in a mirror and sigh



Get your feet wet

Run with the jetset

Be a good girl

Go around the world

But the longer it goes on

The harder you hang on

Til you stand up

Look in a mirror and sigh



Tryin' to be cool

You just be the fool

Let it be known

You ain't full growed

And its all right

Don't put up such a fight

You can stand up

Look in a mirror and sigh

PERRY COMO lyrics - Juke Box Baby

(Joe Sherman and Noel Sherman)



When my jukebox baby takes the floor

'Round the old jukebox in the candy store

The joint starts jumpin'

Till the roof comes tumblin' down

(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)

Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town



(Jukebox baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline

(Jukebox baby) drop another one for Seventeen

Jukebox baby) whisper to your daddy-o

Three little love words

(Kokomo)



How ya gonna get your homework done

When you keep that jukebox on the run

You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound

(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)

Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town



(Jukebox baby) I hear you knockin'

(Jukebox baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'

(Jukebox baby) Tell me sincerely

That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie



(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, aww—hah)



Oh, jukebox baby, my jukebox baby, jukebox baby



(Jukebox baby, jukebox baby, jukebox baby)



All your lunchtime money goes down the slot

You could live on air if the music's hot

You just ain't quittin'

Till ya rock that clock around

(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)

Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town



(See ya later)

(Alligator)

Oh hey, ring-a-dinga

What a dungaree doll I've found

Run them there now

Jukebox baby, jukebox baby

You're the wingin'est

Dingin'est, swingin'est doll in town

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - I'm Goin' Away

(Vince Gill)



Six o'clock in the mornin', sun is in my eyes

I gotta leave ya darlin' by the mornin' light

Goin' away... today... Goin' away... to stay



I gotta leave the city, it just ain't my style

I think I'll head for the country and stay out for a while

Goin' away... today... Goin' away... to stay



Nobody stop me, it'll do no good

You should've loved me when you could... when you could



Nobody stop me, it'll do no good

You should've loved me when you could... when you could



Six o'clock in the mornin', the sun is in my eyes

Now I've left ya darlin', I'm seein' clearer skies

Goin' away... today... Goin' away... to stay

Goin' away... today... Goin' away... to

Stay

MISFITS lyrics - From Hell They Came

In the night

I hear voices calling

They seem to speak my name



Glowing bright

I see the eyes of demons

Reaching up beyond the grave



And I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came

I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came



Dark the night

Their cries so lonely

Feel their need inside



I can't fight

This eternal longing

Feast on flesh, these ghouls tonight



And I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came

I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came



Oh

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh

Oh



In the night

I hear voices calling

They seem to speak my name



Glowing bright

I see the eyes of demons

Reaching up beyond the grave



And I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came

I think from Hell they came

Oh, I think from Hell they came

ELOY lyrics - Invasion Of A Megaforce

This used to be paradise

at the birth of time

Giving way to free enterprise

now we're ruled by crime



Frayed, overrun

in the name of prosperity

We tear down, rape the land

in the name of proficiency



Rising so far, shining so bright

Nearing the might of glory and light



Savaged by the science machine

there's no place to hide

Disregarding all nature's laws

have we got no pride?



Why can't you see, can't you feel

take a look around

Some say yes, some say no

but their vote doesn't make a sound

Rising so far, shining so bright

Nearing the might of glory and light



Just take a look at yourself and you'll find

there's still a chance to break free

Out of oblivion there's hope for new life

to live in sane purity

Take heart and heed to the call of the wild

You'll find a fresh energy



Here at my feet what remains of society

slain by the dark megaforce of technology



Out in the fields you can feel

warriors gathering

Fighting back without fear

for they see life is withering



Rising so far, shining so bright

Nearing the might of glory and light



We should have left what we don't understand

We've ruined the garden of love

Why did we let it get so out of hand

instead of gaining control

Why should we put our future at stake

and bear a race without soul

And though I'm part of this hellish mistake

I'm still your child mother earth

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - I Got A Rich Man's Woman

(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)



Oh yeah, the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay,

I bought my babe a mink coat,

With fur just to match her hair

When I asked her out for dinner,

She said, "Oh this is just common wear"

I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,

But she's livin' on a poor man's pay



I bought my babe a Cadillac,

She said, "That's just a common gift"

When she passes me walkin' on the streets,

She refuse to give me a lift

I told you I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I got a, I got a rich man's woman,

But she's living on a poor man's pay



There ain't no use for you to argue,

Just go ahead and let the girl have her way

Even if she's a rich man's woman,

And I know she's livin' on a poor man's pay

I told you I work hard on two jobs,

And I make overtime every day

Oh, you know I know I got myself a rich mans woman,

But the woman she's livin' on a poor man's pay

PETER FRAMPTON lyrics - I'm Due A You

[Incomprehensible] the dawn has left

A present by the door

Didn't know 'til I walked

Them steps are caused to fall



Life calls you on the carpet

What else can you do?

And such a string of bad luck



I'm due a you

(I'm due a you)

All through the day, I'll be true

(I'm due a you)



Just do me the way that you do

(I'm due a you)

And pull me out of the blue

Out of the blue

I'm due a you



Emotionally overdrawn

The check's not in the mail

Something creeping 'cross the lawn

My stalker's out of jail



Life calls you out at midnight

And says, it's 'you-know-who'

And such a string of bad luck



I'm due a you

(I'm due a you)

All through the day, I'll be true

(I'm due a you)



Just do me the way that you do

(I'm due a you)

And pull me out of the blue

Right out of the blue

I'm due a you



I wanted to finish my song

But the hard drive crashed again

So the best I had to offer

Wound up in the bin



This calls for celebration

An invitation for two

Hey, now what are you doing?

Hey, now what are you doing?



I'm due a you

(I'm due a you)

All through the day, I'll be true

(I'm due a you)



Just do me the way that you do

(I'm due a you)

And pull me out of the blue

Pull me, pull me out of the blue

(Out of the blue)

Out of the blue

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Tear Stained Letter

I'm gonna write a tear stained letter,

I'm gonna mail it straight to you.

I'm gonna bring back to your mind,

What you said about always bein' true.

Bout our secret hidin' places;

Bein' daily satisfied.

I can see you sittin' and readin' it,

While you hang you head and cry.

I just hope you're not so sad,

You're gonna go down suicide.



I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

Put it special delivery.

'Cause it's gonna be full of stuff,

That's only known to you and me.

'Bout how every time I get turned on,

You turn me off and bring me down.

It'll be about the darkest news,

That ever did arrive in your hometown.

It'll be about the saddest thing,

Your mailman ever did bring around.



I'm gonna write a tear stained letter,

I'm gonna tell you one more time.

That you still could reconsider,

And come back to bein' mine.

An' if you think about what I'm sayin',

It'd be hard to refuse.

Just be sure you think a long time,

On the answer that you choose.

It will be a most important piece,

Of personal, private news.



[Instrumental break]



I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

Mark it "Personal Private News."

An' I hope you'll keep it to yourself,

An' don't go 'round cryin' the blues.

Givin' off a bad impression,

As to what went really wrong.

When what it was was that suddenly,

The music was all gone.

And this man and this woman got cut off,

In the middle of our song.



I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

I'm gonna put it to a tune.

So I'll be sendin' with it,

A sweet melody for you.

And not some red-hot, upbeat zinger,

That'll set your body on fire.

But a hunk of love included,

Meant to take you a little higher.

And to settle on your sweet, sweet mind,

At night when you retire.



I'm gonna write a tear stained letter.

THE CHURCH lyrics - Radiant 1934 Remix

[Radiance]



[Foreign radio transmissions throughout - Spanish/Russian sounding]



When a cloudy morning rain touched our little town

Three small sisters and a friend walking in the fields

A strange light in the sky blotting out the sun

Whatever happens next changes all our lives



And the children ran home sobbing and half blind

Said our lady has a message for mankind

Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense

Dazzled by the virgin's radiance



And the icons in the church crying tears of blood

The water in the wells curing all who drank

Pilgrim lunatics arrive in a ragged stream



In the fields around the village sprang up tents

People from the outside world want more evidence

Four tired children questioned day and night

All they can remember is her blinding light



So the circus drifts away and the noise dies down

Life goes on as before all the people came

And the children never say what her message was



And the children ran home sobbing and half blind

Said our lady has a message for mankind

Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense

Dazzled by the virgin in her radiance



Radiance

Radiance

We need you with us

Come and join us now



Look inside your mind

See the darkness is creeping out

I can see in the softness there

Where the sunshine is gliding in

Fill your mind with love

Find the world of future glory



You can meet yourself

Where the sour turns to sweet

Leave your ugly selfish shell

To melt in the glowing flames

Can you sense the change?

See your eyes, now listen



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We want you with us

Come and join us now



Paint your face all white

To show the peace inside

Drift away while the saffron burns

To the land where the rainbow ends

Can you sense the change?

See your eyes in focus



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now



We want you with us

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now

OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - 21st Century Schizoid Man

[Originally by King Crimson]



Cat's foot iron claw

Neuro-surgeons scream for more

At paranoia's poison door.

Twenty first century schizoid man.



Blood rack barbed wire

Polititians' funeral pyre

Innocents raped with napalm fire

Twenty first century schizoid man



Twenty first century

Twenty first century

Twenty first century

Twenty first century schizoid man



Death seed blind man's greed

Poets' starving children bleed

Nothing he's got he really needs

Twenty first century schizoid man.



Twenty first century

Twenty first century schizoid man

Twenty first century schizoid man



Welcome to the twenty first century

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR lyrics - Childlike Faith In Childhood's End

Existence is a stage on which we pass

a sleepwalk trick for mind and heart:

it's hopeless, I know,

but onward I must go

and try to make a start

at seeing something more than day to day

survival, chased by final death

if I believed this the sum

of the life to which we've come,

I wouldn't waste my breath

Somehow, there must be more. There was a time

when more was felt than known

but now, entrenched inside my sett,

in light more mundane,

thought rattles round my brain:

we live, we die...and yet?



In the beginning there was order and destiny

but now that path has reached the border,

and on our knees

is no way to face the future, whatever it be.

Though the forces which hold us in place

last through eons in unruffled grace

we, too, wear the face of creation.



As anti-matter sucks and pulses periodically

the bud unfolds, the bloom is dead,

all space is living history.

It seems as though time must betray us,

yet we're alive

and though I see no God to save us,

still we survive

through the centuries of progress

which don't get us very far.

All illusion! All is bogus -

we don't yet know what we are...

Laughing, hoping, praying, joking, Son of Man!

with lowered eyes but lifting hearts,

we're grains of sand

and though, in time, the sea

may claim us for its own

we are the rocks which root the future -

on us it grows!



We might not be there to share it

if eternity's a jest

but I think that I can bear it

if the next life is the best.

Even if there is a heaven when we die,

endless bliss would be as meaningless as the lie

that always comes as answer to the question,

"Why do we see through the eyes of creation?"



Adrift without a course,

it's very lonely here,

our only conjecture

what lies behind the dark.

Still, I find I can cling to a lifeline,

think of a lifetime which means more

than my own one -

dreams of a grander thing than we are.

Time and Space hang heavy on my shoulders:

when all life is over who can say

no mutated force shall remain?

Though the towers of the city are denied

to we men of clay

still we know we shall scale

the heights some day.

Frightened in the silence -

frightened, but thinking very hard,

let us make computations of the stars.



Older, wiser, sadder, blinder, watch us run:

faster, longer, harder, stronger, now it comes:

colour blisters, image splinters gravitate

towards the centre, in final splendour disintegrate,

The universe now beckons

and Man, too, must take His place...

just a few last fleeting seconds

to wander in the waste,

and the children who were ourselves move on,

reincarnation stills its now perfected song,

and at last we are free of the bonds of creation.



All the jokers and gaolers, all the junkies

and slavers too,

all the throng who have danced a merry tune -

human we can all be,

but Humanity we must rise above,

in the name of all faith and hope and love.

There's a time for all pilgrims,

and a time for the fakers too,

there's a time when we all will stand alone

and nude,

naked to the galaxies -

naked, but clothed in the overview...

as we reach Childhood's End we must start anew.



And though dark is the highway,

and the peak's distance breaks my heart,

for I never shall see it, still I play my part,

believing that what waits for us

is the cosmos compared to the dust of the past...

In the death of mere humans life shall start!

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Lonely Sea

(Gary Usher/Brian Wilson)



The lonely sea

The lonely sea

It never stops

For you or me

It moves along

From day to day



That's why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)

That's why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)

You'll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo)

You'll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo)



(Ooooooo)

This pain in my heart (ooooooooo)

These tears in my eyes (ooooooooo)

Please tell the truth (ooooooooo)

You're like the lonely sea (sea)

Sea (sea)

The lonely sea (sea)



(Lonely sea lonely sea)

(Lonely sea lonely sea)

Lonely sea



(Lonely sea lonely sea)

(Lonely sea lonely sea)

Lonely sea



(Lonely sea lonely sea)

(Lonely sea lonely sea)

Lonely sea

U2 lyrics - The Ground Beneath Her Feet

All my life, I worshipped her.

Her golden voice, her beauty's beat.

How she made us feel, how she made me real.

And the ground beneath her feet.

And the ground beneath her feet.



And now I can't be sure of anything.

Black is white and cold is heat.

For what I worshipped stole my love away.

It was the ground beneath her feet.

It was the ground beneath her feet



Go lightly down your darkened way.

Go lightly underground. I'll be down there in another day.

I won't rest until you're found.

Let me love you, let me rescue you.

Let me bring you where two roads meet. Oh come back above.

Where there is only love. Only love...

Let me love you true, let me rescue you.

Let me bring you to where two roads meet



Let me love you true, let me rescue you.

Let me bring you to where two roads meet

TINA TURNER lyrics - Land Of 1000 Dances

(C. Kenner & A. Dominoe)



One two three!

One two three!



Gotta know how to pony

Like Bony Maronie

Mashed Potato

Do The Alligator

Put your hands on your hip now

Let your backbone slip oh

Do The Watusi

Like my little Lucy



Na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na



Come on, alley

Like long tall Sally

Twistin' with Lucy

Doin' The Watusi

Gotta hold of your back

I said I like it like that

Do The Jerk, now

Watch me work, now



Na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na



Come on, alley

Like long tall Sally

Twistin' with Lucy

Doin' The Watusi

Lord, help me!

Oh, help me!

Oh, help me!

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Can't Think Straight

Hello...Ooh, is Mary there?

No, but

Well, if you see Mary

Will you tell her I called?

Tell her that I love her

And I'm sorry that's all

You see we had our very first quarrel today

I got really angry and I slapped her face

Now I'm sorry but what can I say

I love her so much

I can't think straight



My name is Pegge and I know how you feel

Same thing that happened to you did to me

I was so upser I couldn't sleep for a week

Finally she called boy was I relieved

Now I'm sorry but what can I say

I love her much I can't think straight

Love her much you can't think



What about people other than me?

What about those with nothing to eat?

How can I claim that life isn't fair?

What a pathetic sight I swear

If I could kick I'd kick

Myself of course and if



Listen to me look I know hat I'm saying

I'm sure Mary is as much to blame

Well in that case

Why won't she answer the phone?

Don't try and tell me

She's not at home

I'm sorry but what can say



I'm sorry but what can say



We're sorry but what can I say

I love her so much I can't think



What are we doing? What have we done?

What in the world is going on?

Isn't it crazy looking so fine

Knowing that in as much time

As it takes to make a drink

We could all become as the dinosaur has

Nothing but extinct

And to top it all I hear

That my rent is to be raised



So if you see Mary

Will you tell her I called

Tell her that I love her

And I'm sorry that's all

And by the way thank you for being so kind

If I've taken up too much of your time

I'm sorry but what I can say

Lo siento pero no se que decir

We're sorry but what can I say

I love her so much

I can't think

Love her so much

I can't think straight

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Steam

Stand Back!

Stand Back!



What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet

They're on to something, picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat



{Chorus 1:}

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream



You know your culture from your trash

You know your plastic from your cash

When I lose sight of the track

You know the way back

But I know you



You know your stripper from your paint

You know your sinner from your saint

Whenever heaven's doors are shut

You kick them open but

I know you



{Chorus 2:}

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream



Stand back!

Stand back!

Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet

You're moving in so close 'til I'm picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat



[Chorus 1]



You know your green from your red

You know the quick from the dead

So much better than the rest

You think you've been blessed

But I know you



You know your ladder from your snake

You know the throttle from the brake

You know your straight line from a curve

You've got a lot of nerve

But I know you



[Chorus 2]



Everybody nosedive

Hold your breath, count to five

Backslap, boobytrap,

Cover it up in bubblewrap

Room shake, earthquake

Find a way to stay awake

It's going to blow, it's going to break

This is more than I can take



Oh yeah, I need steam

Feel the steam all around me

Ah you're turning up the heat

When I start to dream aloud

See you move your hands and feet

Won't you step into this cloud of steam

This steam



[Chorus 1]



Help me yeah

Ready to steam out the log jam

Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil

Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling

bubbling [x4]

like it's coming to a boil

Give me steam, lady

Give me steam around me now

Aah coming alive [x2]

Said give me some steam

MODERN TALKING lyrics - The Night Is Yours - The Night Is Mine

The night is yours, the night is mine

I beg you baby, take your time

It's like paradise

See your magic eyes

Feel the need in me

The night is yours, the night is mine

I beg your baby, take your time

Heaven in your eyes

Takes me to the sky

I'm in love with you



Love takes time, it's hard to find

That's true

Not a game you play - a night or two

Take my heart

Let's make it real tonight

We'll be dancin' to the pale moonlight

Your dreams are real today

And now you gonna stay



I will try to make your dreams come true

Trust me baby, nothing else will do

There's no need for you to be so cool

Love takes time just like the golden rule

Your dreams are real today

And now there gonna stay



Girl, when I see you smile

Imaginations running wild

Love makes me feel allright

Help me through the night

Sometimes you're weak

Sometimes you're wild

You're a woman

You're a child

Love makes me feel allright, tonight

SCOTT MCKENZIE lyrics - San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)

If you're going to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you're going to San Francisco

You're gonna meet some gentle people there



For those who come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

In the streets of San Francisco

Gentle people with flowers in their hair



All across the nation such a strange vibration

People in motion

There's a whole generation with a new explanation

People in motion people in motion



For those who come to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there



If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)

(Steve Earle)



The warden said he'd mail my letter

The chaplain's waitin' by the door

Tonight we'll cross the yard together

Then they can't hurt me anymore



I am going over yonder

Where no ghost can follow me

There's another place beyond here

Where I'll be free I believe



Give my radio to Johnson

Thibodeaux can have my fan

Send my Bible home to Mama

Call her every now and then



I suppose I got it comin'

I can't ever pay enough

All my rippin' and a runnin'

I hurt everyone I loved



The world'll turn around without me

The sun'll come up in the east

Shinin' down on all of them that hate me

I hope my goin' brings 'em peace

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Things You Gave Me

You gave me so many things to remember you by

Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eyes

When my heartaches all have gone

It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone



I've got everything I'll need to remember you

I've got all the things you gave me

And you gave me quite a few

Got a heart full of emptiness, got tears in my eyes

I got wall to wall sadness, I can walk on while I cry



You gave me so many things to remember you by

Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eyes

When my heartaches all have gone

It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone



But I wish you hadn't give me this solitude

It's a gift that keeps on givin' after you've gone

Gone, gone, gone, when my heartaches all have gone

It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone

YVONNE ELLIMAN lyrics - If I Can't Have You

Don't know why

I'm survivin' ev'ry lonely day

When there's got to be no chance for me

My life would end

And it doesn't matter how I cry

My tears, so far, are a waste of time

If I turn away

Am I strong enough to see it through

Go crazy is what I will do



If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-ho



Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try

I gave it all

So easily

To you my love

To dreams that never will come true

Am I strong enough to see it through

Go crazy is what I will do



If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-ho



If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody baby

If I can't have you, uh-ho

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - The Road's My Middle Name

I told you once the day we met

I wouldn't be your queen.

Your little darlin', sweet coquette

Just what my routine

You've been around enough to know

There's really no one else

When I hear that siren call, baby

I just can't help myself



I gotta go

I hope you'll understand

I love you so

Want you to be my man



I hear it callin'

Sound so sweet and plain

I gotta go, baby,

'cause the road's my middle name



Well, it's hard enough to love someone

When they're right close to home

Don't you think I know it's hard, honey

To squeeze the sugar from the phone



Guess the road is in my blood

'cause I'm my daddy's kid

Just have to learn how to let me go

Just like my momma did



I gotta go,

I hope you'll understand

Oh, I love you so

Want you to be my man



I hear it callin', baby

Sound so sweet and plain

I gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name



Here it come

And it sounds so sweet and plain

I gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name

I gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name

Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'

'cause the road's my middle name

VAN MORRISON lyrics - No Trouble Livin'

(Mose Allison)



Don't talk to me 'bout life problems or

How you wish that things could be

'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'

It's jus' dyin that bothers me



Don't offer me no sad stories or

Tell me that you're all at sea

'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'

It's jus' dyin that bothers me



You doin' great

You gettin' straight

You get your call

That's all



So don't tell me your misgivings

Or not to be or not to be

'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'

It's jus' dyin that bothers me



You doin' fine

You sippin' wine

You feel a pain

Last train



So don't tell me your misgivings

Or blame it on the referree

'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'

It's jus' dyin that bothers me

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Something Fine

The papers lie there helplessly

In a pile outside the door

I've tried and tried, but I just can't remember what they're for

The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve

Oh, that's much too old a story to believe



And you know that it's taken its share of me

Even though you take such good care of me

Now you say "Morocco" and that makes me smile

I haven't seen Morocco in a long, long while

The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind

And I've just had a taste of something fine



The future hides and the past just slides

England lies between

Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean

California's shaking like an angry child will

Who has asked for love and is unanswered still



And you know that I'm looking back carefully

”Cause I know that there's still something there for me

But you said "Morocco" and you made me smile

And it hasn't been that easy for a long, long while

And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine

Giving me a taste of something fine

Something fine



Now if you see Morocco I know you'll go in style

I may not see Morocco for a little while

But while you're there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind

To save me just a taste of something fine

ART GARFUNKEL lyrics - Up In The World

(Clifford T. Ward)



You've come Up In The World,

And it's all to your credit.

You made something of your life

Like you always said you would.

But what ever happened to the girl

I used to know and all those halcyon days of love?

You've come Up In The World,

And it's such a shame.

You made success of a dream,

But it seems so empty now

With your weak excuses and your

Condescending ways and

Your all-too-frequent nights alone.

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Spring Fever

Last night he took me in his arms,

And held me tenderly.

He said: "I don't know what's got into you,

"But I'm lovin' what I see."

I hid my shame and tried to say,

The words I longed dreamed of.

But instead of saying: "Set me free,"

I whispered: "I'm in love."



I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.

"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too.

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.

"That makes the warm of glowing love,"

But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new.



I tried to make you understand,

The reasons I can't go.

You love is fresh and new, but his love's true,

It's had time to grow.

And even though he may no longer,

Keep me satisfied.

Don't you know he's still got Spring and Fall,

And Summer on his side.



I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.

"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too.

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.

"That makes the warm of glowing love,"

But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new.

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - I'll Be Creeping

(A. Frazer/P. Rodgers)



If you try to screw me, baby, take my advice.

Opportunity, baby, never knocks twice.

If you try to fool me, don't play around,

'Cause when I get to you, baby, I won't make no sound,

'Cause I'll be creeping.



I'll be creeping baby,

I'll hold you in my arms.

No one will ever know.

And now that we're apart,

I won't take no less.



Take all your things and move far away. Hah!

You can take your things, baby.

Don't you try to sneak away.

You can change you address,

You won't get far

Don't make no difference wherever you are.

I'll be creeping, baby, creeping around,

'Cause I'll be creeping.



Change you address, you won't get far

Don't make no difference wherever you are.

I'll be creeping, creeping around.

'Cause I'll be creeping.



I'll hold you in my arms.

No body ever knows.

Now then that we're apart,

I won't take no less.

Creeping, you know I'm always creeping.

Creeping, you know I'm always creeping.

Creeping, you know I'm always creeping.

B. B. KING lyrics - Change In Your Loving

(Joe Amato / Trade Martin)



There's a change in your loving

Strange kind of loving

A change in your loving

You are cold to the touch

Change in your loving

Strange kind of loving, baby

A change in your loving

Once you loved me so much



You started a fire

Inside of me

My burning hot body

Was a hundred and three

But lately I'm feeling

A drop in temperature

You're cooling down, baby

And I'm begging for more



There's a change in your loving

Strange kind of loving

A change in your loving

You are cold to the touch

Change in your loving

Strange kind of loving, baby

A change in your loving

Once you loved me so much



With you I was feeling

So secure

When I was down and had the blues

You had the cure

Now things are so different

But I believe I understand

I may be sharing your lips

With another man



Change in your loving

Strange kind of loving



A change in your loving

You are cold to the touch

There's a change in your loving

Strange kind of loving, baby

A change in your loving

Once you loved me so much



A change in your loving

A change in your loving

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Lead Me On

["Top Gun" soundtrack]



Turn around to see you

In a crowded place

I watch for the emotions

On a guarded face

Saying lead me on



Victim of a dream

And a memory

But when I try to break free

You say to me

C'mon lead me on



A matter out of time

In the reaches of space

Caught up in the patterns

In the light of a life

Walk across the bridge

To the shadows of the night



Saying lead me on

Lead me on

Lead me on

On and on



Voices in the night

Chase the demons away

Looking in the mirror

It's easy to say

C'mon lead me on



The choices of a lifetime

In the dreams of a day

When the coast is gettin' clearer

I hear you say

Lead me on



A matter out of time

In the look on your face

Caught up in the patterns

In the light of a life

Walk across the bridge

To the shadows of the night



Talk to me of lightning - I'll hear what you say, my love

Reaching for the meaning all of the way

I can keep believing in you and me, my love

Finding the answers that we need - sometimes it's meant to be



Turn around to see you

In a crowded place

I watch for the emotions

As they cross your face

Saying lead me on



I see you in a dream

And a memory

A captive of the light

You say to me

Lead me on

ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Paralyzed

I picked up the phone, you were both on the line

Your words to each other froze me in time

A lifetime between us just burnt on the wires

Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed in your fires

Your footsteps beside me, the phone in my hand

I can't move

I can't stand



Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor

The pretense between us for a moment destroyed

I don't want to go on with these words in my heart

But the ghost of your anger will tear us apart

How my little world just went up in smoke

I'm too young

I'm too old



One day soon I'll know

One day soon I'll just let it go



I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed

I carve out my future part prophet, part blind

It's nobody's business, no one is to blame

We'll meet in the distance, new numbers new names

I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire

I'll move on

I'll go higher
