STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Anything You Want Me To Do



I Love You

But I've been away from you so long

God take me back to where I belong baby

I'll do what you want me to

I'll do what you want me to do,

I'll do anything



I want you

I never needed you so bad

Why do you feel like making me so sad

Girl I'll do whatever you want me to

I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to



Love's the thing thats made us happy,

Love's the thing thats made us sad,

If we dont get back together,

We might lose our romance

Might not get a second chance...



I Love You

And I wanna be your man

If you tell me that I can baby

You know I'll do whatever you want me to

I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do



Love's the thing thats made us happy,

Love's the thing thats made us sad,

If we dont get back together,

We might lose our romance

Might not get a second chance...



I Love You

And I wanna be your man

If you tell me that I can baby

I'll do whatever you mant me to

I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do



I'll do what you want me to



I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do



Everything you want me to



I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do



Every every every every every every every every every



I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do



Everything

Everything you want me to do



I'll do what you want me to do

I'll do anything that you want me to do


BOY GEORGE lyrics - Sold



Last night my mother said to me

I'm sick of making history

There's got to be another way

But we've got all these bills to pay

And they ain't just gonna go away

Like a factory

about to be shut down

Sold - did you hear it - I'm Sold

Sold - did you hear it - I'm Sold

You're gonna like this one - I do

See if Mr Botha was a man

He'd tip the hat

he'd pass the can

But he dont talk for you and me

I saw him on the BBC

His eyes looked like a factory

With the lights out

About to be shut down

Sold - did you hear it - I'm Sold

Sold - did you hear it - I'm Sold

Last night my mother said to me

I'm sick of making history

There's got to be another way

for you to be

Last night my mother said to me

When you grow up

what will you be

If not the white minority

At least protect me

I'm not a factory about to be shut down

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - For Herself



(Shawna Harrington-Burkhart/Liz Hengber/Reba McEntire)



Uncle Slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse

He was the one that was only meant for men

She walked around till way after dark

Rode that horse with all her heart

And in the night how she rode



Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside

And even if she fell she'd survive

In spite of all the tears she may cry

This is how she has to live her life

As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself



Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good

They'd seen how he treated the other girls

She waited around till the sun went down

Slipped out of the house not makin' a sound

And in the night oh how they drove



Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside

And even if she fell she'd survive

In spite of all the tears she may cry

This is how she has to live her life

As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself



It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes

In the coldest words of anger

He said without me you won't survive



There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago

She don't leave a note that's not her style

So she waited around till way after dark

Left that man who broke her heart

Now she's gone, oh she's gone



Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside

And even if she fell she'd survive

In spite of all the tears she may cry

This is how she has to live her life

As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Falling In Love



(Hensley)



Falling keep on falling I keep on falling in love



Now I don't mind all this running around

Seems I've been doing it most of my life

My music's been kind but some days I find

It brings me two kinds of trouble and three kinds of strife



So don't try to compare it 'cause I just want to

Share it with some people I like to call friends

There ain't nothing bad and no need to feel sad

And there's certainly no need to make amends



It won't do you no harm and there's no cause for alarm

I won't be prayin' for help from above

If the only thing wrong with rock and roll

Is that I keep on falling in love


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - When Someone Wants To Leave



(Dolly Parton)



When you love somebody with all your heart and soul

And you want to keep them with you, but you know they want to go

What do you do, what do you say

When you know they want to leave

As bad as you want them to stay

And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love

When one doesn't care at all and the other cares too much

It's a sad situation, I must say

When you know they want to leave

As bad as you want them to stay



You know how much I love you

But I know you don't love me

And I know it's just a matter of time before you leave

But I do, I stand aside and just let you walk away

But I know you want to leave

As bad as I want you to stay



And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love

When one doesn't love at all and the other loves too much

It's a sad situation I must say

When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay

Oh, it's a sad situation I must say

When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay


SANTANA lyrics - Brotherhood



(Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, & David Sancious)



Brotherhood...

All around - sweet brotherhood

No more us and them -

Brotherhood

No more war, violence, or pain

Compassion

In brotherhood, we'll find

Joy............Dynamism

Sweetness......Softness

Soulfulness....Dignity

Tranquility....Serenity

Harmony........Perfection

Harmony........Perfection



One mind!

One truth!

One life!


VAN MORRISON lyrics - See Me Through



When I feel like l'can't get over

The solid white cliffs of Dover

When I don't know what to do

Baby see me through (yeah)



Well I've been too long in this storm

I feel so sad and forlorn

And perhaps I'm counting on you

See me through (yeah)



When I think of that dear rugged cross

Where the dear saviour gave his all

When I feel like I'm on my last go round

See me through



See me through the days of wine and roses

See me through one day at a time

See me through when things get heavy

On my mind



When I'm already gone (my cup is full)

You can get me through

Bright lights, big city won't do

You can see me through



When I wake up in the morning I'm gone

And I need a friend to lean upon

Why don't you see what you can do?

See me through



See me through the days of wine and roses

See me through one day, one day at a time

When I'm already mixed up and gone

And you know it's just not on

You know exactly what to do

Baby, see me through



Hey get down, baby please don't go

I love you so, you know what to do

Listen, when we were young

When I was a school boy, you used to love my tie

It ain't nothing like I love you now

Set my soul on fire yeah, I believe you



See me through, see me through

See me through before, before, before,

TV, before rock 'n' roll, previous, previous,

Previous, in the days...


THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Look What You've Done



(M. Morganfield)



Now look what you've done

Now look what you've done

Look what you've done baby

Now look what you've done

You left me here

The lonely one

And all I can say

Is look what you've done

A broken heart

A worried mind

Because of you baby

Dying all the time

I once had a dream

But now I've none

Your taking your love

And see what it done

I saw you last night

Out moving round

With your new turf

You paint the town

That is OK

You're having your fun

Because some day

They call you done

And now your bird cries

The shadow falls

Gloomy memories

And I recall

Your love is my life

As warm as the sun

But now it is gone

And see what it done


BILLY JOEL lyrics - Worse Comes To Worst



Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son

Tomorrow mornin' I could be a bum

It doesn't matter which direction though

I know a woman in New Mexico

Oh worse comes to worse I'll get along



I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

And if I don't have a car I'll hitch

I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch

I'll do my writing on my road guitar

And make a living at a piano bar

Oh worse comes to worse I'll get along

I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong



Oo lighting and thunder

Flashed across the roads we drove up on

Oh but it's clear skies we're under

When we are together, when I sing my song



Fun ain't easy if it free

Too many people got a hold on me

But I know a woman in New Mexico

Oh worse comes to worse I'll get along

I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - New Coat Of Paint



Let's put a New Coat of Paint

On this lonesome old town

Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down

You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie

We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon

In that burgundy sky



All our scribbled love dreams

Lost or thrown away

Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day

When love needs a transfusion

Shoot it full of wine

Fishin' for a good time

Starts with throwin' in your line



Let's put a New Coat of Paint

On this lonesome old town

Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down

You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie

We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon

In that burgundy sky


THE CHURCH lyrics - Operetta



A song about you

You're in a song

Are you good or evil

Or just right or wrong



Where's the boys all dressed in green

In the gap that lies between

Where's the girls all dressed in white

In the deep heart of the night



Where's the men all dressed in black

None are ever coming back

Where's the men all dressed in black

Where's the ladies dressed in red

All are dancing with the dead



Song about you

Just a song

Are you stranger still

Or do you belong



Life is short (phosphorescent rim of the sun)

So don't be long (turn to face it as the comets come)

Use your free will (a cloudy blanket, a moving storm)

Or get trapped in a song (as love thaws)



In summertime

Umbrella trees down by the sea

Limbs like men to bend low

You turn and you see me



Music plays

Space between the notes full of haze

Piano, drums and trumpets

Just like the old days



A song about you

You're in a song

Are you good or evil

Or just right or wrong



In summertime

Picking up an insistent distant beat

Beachcomber come home now

Come in from the heat



Interweaving leaves (where's the men all dressed in black)

Once she was a skeptic, twice she believes (none are ever coming back)

The wind that thinned and skinned us (where's the ladies dressed in red)

Underneath (all are dancing with the dead)



(Where's the boys all dressed in green

In the gap that lies between

Where's the girls all dressed in white

In the deep heart of the night

Where's the men all dressed in black

None are ever coming back

Where's the ladies dressed in red

All are dancing with the dead)


BRENDA LEE lyrics - Your Favorite Wornout Nightmare's Coming Home



(Sandy Pinkard - Stephen H Dorff)



I've learned more than I have lifted

My heart has cheated, my love has drifted

I've let you down a thousand different ways

And there's been times when I have stumbled

Hurt you pride, you cussed aloud and grumbled

But Lord knows I'm paying now for what I've done



(But) Sure as there is red dirt in Alabama

And hurricanes in Louisiana

Your screen door's gonna be slamming

'Cause your fav'rite worn out nightmare's coming home



I know you don't feel any sorrow

But I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow

I'd do anything to make you take me back again

Now I couldn't count the times you saved me

With all the good love that you gave me

My dreaming brought you sad nights in return, and



(But) Sure as there is red dirt in Alabama

And hurricanes in Louisiana

Your screen door's gonna be slamming

'Cause your fav'rite worn out nightmare's coming home



Looking back I still remember

That rainy old December

When the one good thing I had I threw away

Now I need to kiss you, I need to hold you

In the shade of a cool magnolia

Till the moon comes up and your shadow covers mine, and



(But) Sure as there is red dirt in Alabama

And hurricanes in Louisiana

Your screen door's gonna be slamming

'Cause your fav'rite worn out nightmare's comin home

(But) Sure as there is red dirt in Alabama

And hurricanes in Louisiana

Your screen door's gonna be slamming, yes it is

'Cause your fav'rite worn out nightmare's coming home

(But) Sure as there is red dirt in Alabama

And hurricanes in Louisiana

I said your screen door's gonna be slamming

Look out, by, oh

'Cause your fav'rite worn out nightmare's comin home...


NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Throw This Away



I want you to take me

I want you to take me

I want you to break me

And I want you throw me away



I want you to take me

I want you to take me

I want you to break me

And I want you throw me away



I want you to take me

I want you to take me

I want you to break me

And I want you throw me away



I want you to take me

I want you to take me

I want you to break me

And I want you throw me away


NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Time Of Inconvenience



(Nanci Griffith)



We're living in a time of inconvenience

Compassion fails me with this meanness in the air

Our city streets are filled with violence

So we close our doors to the city

And pretend that it's not there

Here I go again

Back out on these mean streets

The evil seems to cling to the soles of my feet

Cuz' I'm living in a time of inconvenience

At an inconvenient time



We're living in the age of communication

Where the only voices heard have money in their hands

Where greed has become a sophistication

And if you ain't got money

You ain't got nothin' in this land

An' here I am one lonely woman

On these mean streets

Where the right to life man has become my enemy

Cuz' I'm living in his time of inconvenience

At an inconvenient time



[Bridge:]

I've turned my cheek

As my history fades

While the clock ticks away

Any progress we've made

I never thought

I'd be ashamed to be human

Afraid to say

My time has seen it's day

Cuz' I'm living in a time of inconvenience

Living in a time of inconvenience

Living in a time of inconvenience

It's an inconvenient time



This is the time of greed and power

Where everyone needs to have someone to shove around

Our children come to us for answers

Listening for freedom but they don't know the sound

And there they are, our children

Dumped out in these mean streets

The evil sweeps them up

And brings them to their knees

Cuz' they're living in our time of inconvenience

They're living in the age of communication

This is the time of greed and power

This is the time that I wish was not mine

Cuz' it's an inconvenient time



(time, oh time)

(it's an inconvenient time)

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors)



(K. Santander)



Como despues de la noche

Brilla una nueva manana (Bis)



Asi tambien en tu llanto

Hay una luz de esperanza (Bis)



Como despues de la lluvia

Llega de nuevo la calma (Bis)



El ano nuevo te espera

Con alegrias en el alma.(Bis)



Y vamos abriendo puertas

Y vamos cerrando heridas

Porque en el ano que llega

Vamos a vivir la vida



Y vamos abriendo puertas

Y vamos cerrando heridas

Pasito a paso en la senda

Vamos a hallar la salida



Como despues de la siembra

Nace la fruta madura (Bis)



Asi depues de las penas

Llega la buena fortuna (Bis)



Despues de cada tropiezo

El corazon se levanta (Bis)



Despues de cada lamento

Hay una voz que te canta (Bis)



Y vamos abriendo puertas

Y vamos cerrando heridas

Porque en el ano que llega

Vamos a vivir la vida...



Como al salir de la tierra

Vuelve a cantar la cigarra (Bis)



Asi es el canto que llevan

Las notas de mi guitarra (Bis)



Como a traves de la selva

Se van abriendo caminos (Bis)



Asi tambien en la vida

Se va labrando el destino (Bis)



Y vamos abriendo puertas

Y vamos cerrando heridas

Porque en el ano que llega

Vamos a vivir la vida

Abriendo puertas

Cerrando heridas



Que en la vida hay tanto por hacer

Deja tu llanto y echa pa'lante con fe



Yo te lo digo de corazon

Que el ano nuevo sera mucho mejor



No existen barreras para ti

Si te propones seras feliz, muy feliz



Que el fracaso es puro invento

Ya no me vengas con ese cuento, NO, NO


IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Powerslave



(Dickinson)



Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus

Into the eyes of the night - watching me go

Green is the cat's eye that glows -

in the Temple

Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.



[Chorus:]

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave

I don't wanna die, I'm a God,

why can't I live on?

When the Live Giver dies,

all around is laid waste,

And in my last hour,

I'm a Slave to the Power of Death.



When I was living this lie - Fear was my Game

People would worship and fall -

drop to their knees.

So bring me the blood and

red wine for the one to succeed me,

For he is a man and a God -

and He will die too.



[Chorus]



Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,

Silent the terror that reigned -

marbled in stone

Shell of man God preserved -

a thousand ages,

But open the gates of my hell -

I will strike from the grave



[Chorus]



Slave to the Power of Death...

Slave to the Power of Death...


TONY MARTIN lyrics - I Get Ideas



When we are dancing

And your dangerously near me

I get ideas, I get ideas

I want to hold you

So much closer than I dare to

I want to scold you

'Cause I care more than I care to



And when you touch me

And there's fire in every finger

I get ideas, I get ideas

And after we have kissed goodnight

And still you linger

I kinda think you get ideas too



Your eyes are always saying

The things you're never saying

I only hope they're saying

That you could love me too

For that's the whole idea, it's true

The lovely idea that

I'm falling in love with you



[Instrumental Interlude]



When we are dancing

And your dangerously near me

I get ideas, I get ideas

And I want to hold you

So much closer than I dare to

I want to scold you

'Cause I care more than I care to

And when you touch me

And there's fire in every finger

I get ideas, I get ideas

And after we have kissed goodnight

And still you linger

I kinda think you get ideas too



Your eyes are always saying

The things you're never saying

I only hope they're saying

That you could love me too

For that's the whole idea, it's true

The lovely idea that

I'm falling in love with you

JOHN HIATT lyrics - My Old Friend



I thought we were gonna make that bridge, what did I know

Me and my expectations was always high

"Like a Rolling Stone" is playing on the radio

It made you cry

But we got by



[Chorus:]

My old friend

You make me feel young again

My old friend

You're just as pretty as you were back then



A Corvair with no floorboards, a Gibson Hummingbird

Driving south to the mouth of the riversong



Patchouli oil and motor oil

And you knew all the words

Now you're looking fine

In a hook-up line



[Chorus]



You've got kids, I've got kids

And they all want to know

Just what is what like when we were young



I tell them I'm no different now

Just late for the show

So grab your "Aqualung"

The loading has begun



[Chorus]



My old friend

My old friend

My old friend


ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Change Partners



In the middle of my life

When my fate was sealed and tied

The heavens rain down fire

The earth and moon conspire



To open up my eyes

Make me face my lies

I crawl through an abyss

I struggle and resist



Somehow I break free

Someone becomes me

And when I stand upright

I'm filled with a new light



I'm given one more chance

So I change partners

In this new dance



The moon stays on a course

No mortal will force

The courage to go deep

Is gathered while we sleep

I'm purified by fire

Renewed by my desire



Nothings left to chance

So I change partners

In this new dance



I change partners

In this new dance

I'll change partners


STATUS QUO lyrics - Everything



(Rossi/Parfitt)



My eyes can see, my hands can feel

My ears can hear, my eyes can see

They can see everything, everything



A bird that flies, a bird that dies

And who knows why? But with my eyes

I can see everything, everything



And now the dawn is breaking

I see the dawn is breaking

And life seems very good to me

I see your face is smiling

Your bed looks warm, inviting

I feel your hand walk over me



I climb in bed beside you

The past is not behind you

You feel a little pain inside

And now our heads are whirring

It's done, there's no returning

You feel the little pain - it dies



My eyes can see, my hands can feel

My ears can hear, my eyes can see

They can see everything, everything



A bird that flies, a bird that dies

And who knows why? But with my eyes

I can see everything, everything

And who knows what it all means?


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Nothing To Lose



(Kim Fox)



Well, I'm sitting on the bus

Rolling down through Georgia

Don't know where I'm going

And I don't care what's new

I've got nothing to lose



Well, I've had no sleep

Going on three days

Smoked my last cigarette

Somewhere near Atlanta

It's true, I've got nothing to lose



Nothing to lose since I've lost you

Feeling all alone

Used to have it all and now my heart is gone

It's true, I've got nothing to lose



Well, we're coming up on Macon

Gonna rest here a spell

Making idle conversation

With a stranger without you

I've got nothing to lose



Nothing to lose since I've lost you

Feeling all alone

Used to have it all and now my heart is gone

It's true, I've got nothing to lose



Ooh, nothing to lose

Ooh, since I lost you



You left me with no worry

You left with no cares

And you took my whole life with you

And you left me standing there

It's true, I've got nothing to lose



Nothing to lose since I've lost you

Feeling all alone

Used to have it all and now my heart is gone

It's true, I've got nothing to lose



Yes, it's true

I've got nothing to lose



I've got nothing, nothing left to lose

I've got nothing, nothing left to lose

I've got nothing, nothing left to lose

I've got nothing, nothing left to lose



Nothing left to lose

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - First Day Out



Here I am at last, I've just jumped off the train

I'm about to start my life as a wanderer in the rain

I know so many people would give anything to be in my shoes

Well, that's all right for them to say, but my shoes are soaked right through.



I don't know what made me want to come all the way out here

I guess when I was dreaming, my skies were always clear

Now I'm here in a meadow with the rain streaming through my hair

I guess this is what you call traveling freely, living without care.



Here I am, all by myself, and I'll admit I'm scared

All I've got is my guitar and a couple of dollars to spare

And I know even that's not gonna last me long.



I suppose I could pick myself up and carry myself back home

But after what I put my folks through, I think I better stay alone.

Anyhow, five years of aching are packed behind this plan

Since I was ten, I've wanted to get out of the city and live out on the land.



My parents thought I was crazy and I think now maybe they're right

But I can still feel the freedom in following the eagle's flight.

I just had to come and see what all the songs were about

My hope is returning quickly and I don't think there's any doubt



That I'd better start moving if I want to get somewhere

I'll go on to the next town and see what I find there

And stay a while until I go traveling on.


LOS LOBOS lyrics - Alone In A Crowd



(John Genzale)



[From "I Only Wrote This Song For You: A Tribute To Johnny Thunders"]



You're talkin'

You're talkin' to me

I ain't listenin'

Don't bother me

I'm alone, even with you

I'm alone, so what do I do?



You're tellin'

You're tellin' me

You want diamonds

Don't bother me

I'm alone, even with you

I'm alone, so what do I do?



Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a



You're talkin'

You're talkin' to me

I ain't listenin'

Don't bother me

I'm alone, even with you

I'm alone, so what do I do?



Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a crowd, alone in a crowd

Alone in a crowd, whoa oh oh


THE POGUES lyrics - Modern World



(Darryl Hunt)



Mary's selling flowers

On a stall in EC1

Tonight she'll be out looking for some fun

Her mate Gerry's in the basement

He hasn't got a home

But prides himself that he's got most things done



Meanwhile I'm up on the roof

Waiting for the sun to shine

I haven't got an excuse

So I'll just keep my head down



David's in the city

He's just made a deal

And the boys they want to take his trousers down

So they buy some little pills

Which will make poor David ill

And the find themselves in some club downtown



Meanwhile I got off the roof

'Cos the rain keeps pouring down

And I haven't got a clue

Why there's faith in all these clowns



This is the modern world...



Jim and Jane hit the grapevine

'Cos they're looking for a party

A secret number knows where it can be found

So they pick up Pete and Sheila

And they head down the M40

But someone said they closed the country down



Meanwhile I've locked myself in the kitchen

Waiting for the storm to pass

And if there's too much damage

I think I'll get the fuck out fast



This is the modern world...


ACCEPT lyrics - Monsterman



Screaming just for mercy

I am no monster man

Knowing makes you guilty

Not free of any faults



I see a hot, hot fighting

On controversial sides

They call me mercy killer

'cause I did it right



For love I gave your fading life

For love I had to give you up



I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Dead or alive, dead or alive

I am no monster man - mercy or crime



Facing all the trouble

I still remember our nights

And we're swearing both to free us

When life is only pain



For love I had to give you up



I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Dead or alive, dead or alive

I am no monster man - mercy or crime



Monster man



I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Dead or alive, dead or alive

I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Dead or alive, dead or alive



I am no monster man....

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Under A Blanket Of Blue



Under A Blanket of Blue

Just you and I beneath the stars.

Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance

The night is ours.



Under A Blanket of Blue

Let me be thrilled by all your charms

Darling, I know my heart will dance

Within your arms.



A summer night's magic, enthralling me so.

The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to shareit my dear,

Covered with heaven above.



Let's dream a dream of love for two,

Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance,

Under A Blanket of Blue.


ENIGMA lyrics - The Cross Of Changes



If you understand or if you don't

If you believe or if you doubt

There's universal justice

And the eyes of truth

Are always watching you.


UFO lyrics - Out In The Street



(1) Lady loves to hang on

Lady liked a real intellectual

Sweet sister your still shaking

And your tragedy is never ending

Silver shoes you're wearing

Every window that you've ever stared in

Over my head, over my head



Sidewalks of the city

And every theater there you've ever played

Your comic book impersonations

Your wish for cinders embers to keep

Over my head, so it' all



(2) Out in the street for just one more matinee

Yes, your vaudeville carries on

So put a smile in front your man can see

Yes, your vaudeville carries on



(2) Repeat

(1) Repeat


PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED lyrics - (This Is Not A) Love Song



(Lydon, Levene & Atkins)



This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song



This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song



Happy to have, not to have not

Big business is very wise

I'm crossing over into

E-enter-prize



Love song

Love song

Love song

Love song



I'm going over to the other side

I'm happy to have not to have not

Big business is very wise

I'm inside free enterprise



I'm adaptable

I'm adaptable



I'm adaptable and I like my new role

I'm getting better and better

And I have a new goal

I'm changing my ways where money applies



This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song

This is not a love song



Now are you ready to grab the candle

That tunnel vision - not television

Behind the curtain - out of the cupboard

You take the first train - into the big world

Now will I find you - now will you be there



Not a love song (echo)

Not a love song

Not a love song...


THE KINKS lyrics - Juke Box Music



There's a lady plays her fav'rite records

On the jukebox ev'ry day.

All day long she plays the same old songs,

And she believes the things that they say.



Other ladies like to prance around

And flirt and dance the whole night through,

But she just sits and listens to her juke box records,

'Cause that's all that she wants to do.



She sings along with all the saddest songs,

And she believes the stories are real.

She let's the music dictate the way that she feels.



It's only juke box music,

Only juke box music.

It's only music,

Only juke box music,

Only juke box music.



Seems to me she's in a fantasy.

She's livin' in a world of her own.

And we all agree that she's a mystery,

Because she'd rather be all alone.



Ev'ry guy will do his best to try

To put that music out of her head.

Forget all the songs,

And just dance to the music instead.



It's only juke box music,

Only juke box music.

It's only music,

Only juke box music,

Only juke box music.



It's all because of that music

That we're slowly driftin' apart.

But it's only there to dance to,

So you shouldn't take it to heart.



Music, only juke box music.

Only music, only juke box music.

[Repeat]


INXS lyrics - Perfect Strangers



(Garry Beers, Tony Bruno, The Matrix, Shelly Peiken)



Don't tell me your name

Just use that pretty mouth

To kiss me if you want this

But I want you inside out



Start here at the end

And later when we're waking

Our bodies still weak

We finally meet

Turn my head and say



We could be perfect strangers

Let's spend tonight

We could be perfect strangers

Head up won't you look in my eyes

Don't let this bad world change you

You've got places to go

So much further than I can see



We could be perfect strangers

Thank you for spending one night with me

Let's just keep this simple

In the am it's goodbye

The syrup's so much sweeter

When you let the butterfly

So spread your wings and go

It's better not to know

What I'm gonna miss

I'll remember your kiss

When I turn my head and say

We could be perfect strangers

Let's spend tonight



We can be perfect strangers

Head up won't you look in my eyes

Don't let this bad world change you

You've got places to go

So much further than I can see



We could be perfect strangers

Thank you for spending one night with me

We are passing trains

We are whiplash lovers

We are burning wax

Melting all over each other



We can be perfect strangers

Let's spend tonight

We can be perfect strangers

Head up won't you look in my eyes

We can be perfect strangers

Let's spend tonight

We can be perfect strangers

Thank you for spending one night

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Home To Houston



(Steve Earle)



When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck

Just like they always did before

With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck

And a Bradley on my back door

And I wound her up and shifted her down

And I offered this prayer to my lord

I said "God get me back home to Houston alive

And I won't drive a truck anymore"



Early in the mornin' and I'm rollin' fast

Haulin' nine thousand gallons of high test gas

Sergeant on the radio hollerin' at me

Look out up ahead here come a R. P.G.

If I ever get home to Houston alive

Then I won't drive a truck anymore



I've driven the big rigs for all of my life

And my radio handle's "Train"

Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights

I had ice water in my veins

And I come over here 'cause I just didn't care

Now I'm older and wiser by far

If I ever get home to Houston alive

Then I won't drive a truck anymore



Great God A'mighty what was wrong with me

I know the money's good but buddy can't you see

You can't take it with you and that ain't no lie

I don't wanna let 'em get me I'm too young to die

If I ever get home to Houston alive

Then I won't drive a truck anymore

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Good Morning



Good morning, good morning, good morning

And a very happy birthday to you

Susie sing happy birthday to Daddy

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you

Susie sing happy birthday to Daddy

Happy birthday to you

Now Daddy may not spend much time with us (Fuck off)

But I'm sure that he loves you a lot

Susie sing happy birthday to Daddy

He's the only daddy you've got (Fuck off)

Fuck off, but I'm the song that the trees sing when the wind blows

Fuck off, but, honey, I'm the starlight and I'm a rainbow

Susie sing happy birthday to Daddy

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you

Susie sing happy birthday to Daddy

Happy birthday to you


BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Re-Make / Re-Model



I tried but I could not find a way

Looking back all I did was look away

Next time is the best we all know

But if there is no next time where did I go?



She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)

See here she comes see what I mean (CPL593H)

I could talk talk talk talk myself to death

But I believe I would only waste my breath


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - As Time Goes By



(Herman Hupfeld)



You must remember this

A kiss is still a kiss

A sigh is still a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by

And when two lovers woo

They still say "I love you"

On that you can rely

No matter what the future brings

Time goes by



Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date

Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate

Woman needs man, and man must have his mate

That no one can deny

It's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by



Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date

Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate

Woman needs man, and man must have his mate

Oh, no one can deny

It's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

'Cause time goes by...

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Honky Tonk Women



(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



[Originally By The Rolling Stones]



I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,

She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.

She had to heave me right across her shoulder

'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.



It's the honky tonk women

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.



I laid a divorcee in New York City,

I had to put up some kind of a fight.

The lady then she covered me with roses,

She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.



It's the honky tonk women

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.



It's the honky tonk women.

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.



It's the honky tonk women.

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.


THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)



(D. Lambert/B. Potter)



Just because in a moment of madness

I took advantage of your sweet love

Don't just hand me a lifetime of sadness

When there's so little I'm guilty of

One chain don't make no prison

Two wrongs don't make no right

One rain don't make no river

One punch don't make no fight



Can you spare me a little affection

Would that be askin' too much of you

Don't point love in another direction

I swear I'll make it up to you



One chain don't make no prison

Two wrongs don't make no right

One rain don't make no river

One punch don't make no fight



There's a bed I'm keepin' empty for you

There's a lot I know I've got to prove



Don't let a simple misunderstanding

Be a mountain that we can't move


JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Standing In The Shadows Of Love



(Brian Holland / Lamont Dozier / Edward Holland Jr)



Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready or the heart aches to come.



Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.

(can't you see me) standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.



I wanna run but there's no place to go

For heartaches will find me I know.

Without your love, a love I need

It's the beginning of the end of me.



Cuz you've taken away all my reasons for living

When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving.

Now wait a minute!

Didn't I always treat you right

Now baby didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

Didn't I do the best I could

Now didn't I, didn't I?



(don't you see me) standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heart aches to come.

(can't you see me) standing in the shadows of love

Doing my best to get ready for the heart aches to come.



All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company.



It may come today, or it may come tomorrow

But it's for sure I've got nothing but sorrow.

I thought your conscience would kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?



Hold on a minute!

I gave you all the love I had

Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

When you needed me I was always there

Now wasn't I, wasn't I?



(don't you leave me) standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.

I'm trying not to cry outloud

Cuz all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't gonna help me none!



Now what did I do, girl, to cause all this grief?

Now what did I say to make you want to leave?

Now wait a minute!

I gave my heart and soul to you

Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

And didn't I always treat you good

Now didn't I, didn't I?



(Don't you see me) standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready or the heart aches to come.

L. L. COOL J lyrics - It's Time For War



[Intro]

Welcome to Exit 13

I am your host

LL Cool J



[Verse 1]

You said I was finished

And Father Time was the blame

You disrespected my legacy

And threw dirt on my name

Told DJs he's over

He ain't spittin' the same

What he says is irrelevant

Hip-Hop culture has changed

When I walk in the room

Young boys look at me strange

As if I am a relic

From some long forgotten game

It makes my blood boil

Turns my eyes to flames

I built an empire

They tried to kick me out in the rain

So I called on an inner power

It's hard to explain

It's like a holy spirit

Utilizing Hip-Hop slang

I'm beyond the gold grills

And logos on chains

You see I changed rap forever

I elevated the game

Launched the greatest label

In the history of rap

And for 24 years

I carried it on my back

I've always shined brighter

When I'm under attack

I might be down for a moment

But I always come back



[Chorus]

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war (Uh, yeah)

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war (Check it)

It's time for war



[Verse 2]

This is a resurrection

I'm back from the dead

They told me quit a long time ago

But I conquered instead

I had dreams and visions

Swirling around in my head

I had this hunger deep inside of me

That has to be fed

Hip-Hop will respect

All the blood that I shed

I have a covenant with God

I have swallowed the bread

Hip-Hop my co-defendant

With this mic I thee wed

I made an entire generation

Obey what we said

I'm talkin' France to Germany

From Italy to Japan

From London to Belgium

To Afghanistan

From Farmers Boulevard

Smokin' a blunt with my man

To writin' rhymes on a ironing board

To build Def Jam

You see, I'm the undisputed

King of all Hip-Hop

Everything after is my legacy

Like it or not

And I will keep making history

I can't stop

LL Cool J

Eternally hot



[Chorus]

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war (Uh)

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war



[Verse 3]

Look at how easily I flipped it

And switched the style around

Competition losin' their footing

I see them falling down

They will plot against me

It kills them because I'm ballin' now

Some of y'all didn't pick up the phone

But I got you callin' now

This is a job that must get done

Even if I become public enemy number one

If I had to pick up an Uzi

That weighs over a ton

I will attack Hip-Hop

Until competition is none

Nobody on God's earth wants it with L

You end up tortured

And trapped in psychological hell

And this is the beginning

Of a new era in rap

LL Cool J, feel the impact

It's okay if you call it a comeback

And let them know

I'm ready for combat

Tell those dumb motherfuckers to fall back

The crown looks wrong on your head

I want that



[Chorus]

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war



It's time for war



It's time for war

J. J. CALE lyrics - Woman I Love



(J. J. Cale)



Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone

Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone

If she ain't round the house - out of the door, daddy no more

Woman I love ain't much more than skin and bone

Treat me right, oh no no, can't complain

Treat me right, oh no, can't complain

She got to be nice, she got me hypnotised

Treat me right, oh no, can't complain


IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Killers



(Paul Di'Anno, Steve Harris)



You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back,

A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.

Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,

Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs.



My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise,

The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night.

I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed,

A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me.



I can see what a life's meant to be,

And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see.



My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties,

With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike.



Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night,

Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light!

I have found you, and now there is no place to run,

Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?!

Oooh yeah, I've done it!

Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh!



You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back,

A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.

Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,

Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs.

Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!

Ahahahaha!


PAULA ABDUL lyrics - Forever Your Girl



Hey baby

You gotta remember

I'm forever your girl

Baby forever...and ever and ever

(You know I am)



Baby pick your head up

Come on and look me in the face

Cuz I can tell that somethin'

Is bringin' you down

(Why are you down?)



Is it the rumor

That another boy

Wants to take your place

(I hear he's after your heart)



Have you been hearin' the stories

They're goin' around

(All of my friends are talkin')

Baby just remember I gave you my heart

Ain't no one gonna tear us apart



He could promise the moon

And the stars above

Even if he promised me the world

Just remember I'm forever your girl



He could promise the world

You gotta remember

I'm forever your girl



Honey listen to me

Your love is all I need

You should know that I don't need nothin'

That money can buy

(It's no lie)



So if a boy were to come along

And try to make me leave you

(Girl I'd go out of my mind)



There'd be no need to worry

I'm tellin' you why

(I need to hear that you really love me)



Baby don't you know that I love you

And I'd never put nobody above you

He could promise the moon and the stars above

Even if he promised me the world



Just remember I'm forever your girl

He could promise the world

You gotta remember

I'm forever your girl



I'm forever your baby

Just remember I'm forever your girl

He could promise the world

You gotta remember

I'm forever your girl



When the mountains crumble into the sea

That's the day someone'll come

Between you and me

Baby just remember I gave you my heart



(Tell me) ain't no one gonna tear us apart

Baby he could promise me diamonds

Even if he promised me pearls

Honey you know I ain't lyin'



Listen as I tell it to the world

You gotta remember baby remember

You gotta remember

I'm forever your girl



Baby forever and ever and ever

We'll be together

I'm forever your girl

Baby forever and ever and ever

You gotta remember

I'm forever...

Hey baby he could promise the world



Girl you know I love you

And I always will

If we live 'til forever

I'll be lovin' you

I'll be lovin' you still



I'm forever your girl


PINK FLOYD lyrics - Empty Spaces



What shall we use to fill the empty

Spaces where we used to talk

How shall I fill the final places

How shall I complete the wall


WET WET WET lyrics - Love Is All Around



I feel it in my fingers

I feel it in my toes

Love is all around me

And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind

It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is

So if you really love me

Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will

My mind's made up by the

Way that I feel

There's no beginning,

There'll be no end

'cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me

As I lay on my bed

I kinda get to thinking

Of all the things you said, oh yes I did

You gave your promise to me and i

Gave mine to you

I need someone beside me

In everything I do, oh yes I do

You know I love you, I always will,

My mind's made up by the

Way that I feel

There's no beginning,

There'll be no end

'cause on my love you can depend

Got to keep it moving

Oh it's written in the wind

Oh everywhere I go, yeah, oh well

So if you really love me, love me, love me

Come on and let it show

Come on and let it show

Come on and let it

Come on and let it (come and let it show, baby)

Come on, come on, come on let it show baby

Come on and let it show

Come on and let it show, baby

Come on and let it show



By bit (bit by bit, bit by bit)....

LOBO lyrics - Love To You Taiwan



(Lobo)



I come to your land a stranger

You made me feel at home

You open up your arms and gave me warmth

I never felt alone



You won my heart forever

With your gentle friendly ways

So with love I send to you my friends

This song from far away



With love to you Taiwan from one

Who always will be thankful to you

Music's what I live and it's all that I can give

With love to you Taiwan



The beauty of your island is more than you can see

You stood up for what was right you had to be free

Good friends are forever that's how it's always been

Words reach out with quiet doubts but music makes us friends

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - I've Been All Around This World



Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Lulu, my Lulu come and open the door.

Lulu, my Lulu come and open the door.

Before I have to walk in with my old 'forty-four'.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Mama and Papa, little sister makes three.

Mama and Papa, little sister makes three.

They're comin' in the mornin' ; that's the last you'll see of me.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone.

Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone.

I wouldn't mind your hangin', boys but you wait in jail so long.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.


THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Fall Free



What's the use of worrying

If we'll be here tomarrow

All we need to be is here today

Don't care if you're rich

Or if you have to beg and borrow

You can always find a way

Dive and breakaway



Fall free

Freedom's in the air

It's calling you

Your heart is there

Fall free

Blaze accross the sky

The perfect fall

The perfect high



Mother earth looks peaceful

As we climb towards the ceiling

We must be ten thousand feet or more

Hear the windrush screaming

While we fight to curb our feelings

As we stand beside the door

Let our spirits soar



Fall free

Freedom's in the air

It's calling you

Your heart is there

Fall free

Blaze accross the sky

The perfect fall

The perfect high


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Be Not Too Hard



(D. Leitch, C. Logue)



Be not too hard for life is short

And nothing is given to man.

Be not too hard when he is sold or bought,

For he must manage as best he can.

Be not too hard when he blindly dies

Fighting for things he does not own.

Be not too hard when he tells lies

Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone.

Be not too hard for soon he'll die,

Often no wiser than he began.

Be not too hard for life is short

And nothing is given to man.

And nothing is given to man.

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Come My Way (Version 2)



The wild mountain thyme that grows around my door

Has grown there for two score years or more

But I've grown weary waiting for love to say,

"come my way, come my way."



The brook that sings and twinkles in the sun

Has danced this mercy bounce since time begun



But o how weary and how long the day

Will he say, "come my way."



Lovers all around, I wish you joy,

Happiness to every girl and boy.

But sometimes spare a thought of me and say

"love come her way," come my way.


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Just Another Day



I woke up one day in Vacaville

Round the corner from the pen

Fat house on the hill

All the homies in the pen straigt locked down

But I gotta get dressed and hit the oaktown

I called Randy??Olson?? on the telephone

Early in the mornin but he still ain't home

So I called Ant Banks to see what's up

He said meet me at the studio at two o'clock

I got dressed, smokin on some serious dank

Grabbed my keys off the table and a bid ol bank

I hit interstate 80 and I'm rollin

Joint's still burnin and I'm smokin'

I was on my way to San Jose

To the stero shop that make my music play

Cause one amp shut down and the bass ain't playin

Didn't take long, for Joel and Janks to have me slumpin'

So I called up??Boo??, what's up nigga what you bout to do

He said, just kickin' back waitin on the fellas

Bout to go eat at Della's

I said it sure sounds good to me

I can't go tho, gotta hit Myrtle Street

Passed the acorns on my way, bitch. it's just anotha day



Big Banks came through and started mixin

Sittin in the studio kick back listenin

To some funky ass shit from the dangerous crew

Debbie D came through, with FM Blue

Shorty B rolled up smokin' fat ones

Pee-Wee had a crew in the back room

Goldie had the tramps givin head breakin off

Rap and rhyme that diddley-dog

Twin one and two is tellin stories

Bout beatin down niggas for the glory

Had to catch a plane that night and roll out of town

Everybody gettin high tryin hard to clown

I had to go shop fo its time to leave

I dipped to the mall, flipped me some jeans

Rolled on out like a playa

Hot ass day, bitches everywhere

I'm leanin' hard to the left like a big shot

Checkin out the hoes seein who'll get knocked

Cause when you fuck with $hort you get fucked quick

I rub some cum on ya ass and make ya suck dick

Ride through the??old?? scene??beamin it?? slow

Talkin that shit five niggas on the four

Drive crazy, tryin to tear up shit

It's just anotha day in Oakland bitch



It was me, Jaque, ??Beamin?? and??Tilo??

??Boo-kicke?? slow-motion and??PO??

Spud, Ju-Ju, Frog and Big-E

Gettin high on our street

Bug, Joe-A, Ce-Ce and Mark,

Rollin four deep from SobranI Park

Howard came through from the B-Town

Motherfuckas gettin high it's goin down

It's the same everyday everyday it's the same

But that night we hit the hoop game

Who was playin: Seattle versus Golden State

Hollered at the home boy Gary Payton

After the game, we went to his house

NBA Jams, turned us out

Niggas talkin bout slammin bones

Any kinda way to get your gamble on

Bet, all you kept hearin was bet

Dice game on the pool table fuck that shit

I ain't goin outa town broke

I gotta have a bank get some dank to smoke

Think I'm gamblin, you must be insane

It started gettin late I had to catch that plane

So I cut to the airport

Just anotha day for Too Short



I was high as fuck on the airplane

Thinkin to myself about a street gang

How a black man'll do you in a minute

Walk around the corner see some shit and get in it

How the police always tryin to catch us

Fell asleep and woke up in Houston, Texas

Gangtas ass niggas from the fifth and the third

Take yo ass there nigga fuck what ya heard

Next night we did a show, in New Orleans

Same gangstas same old scene

Yellin at seventh at ninth ward

I see my homies from the third and the fourth

It was me Big Dog and the??eight guard?? posse

Havin fun and you just can't stop me

I did a show in Birmingham, Alabama

Then caught a plane in Atlanta

I heard about the motherfuckin freaknick

Popped that pussy hole fuck that weak shit

You shoulda seen all the bitches on the street

Niggas from Detroit was deep

All my patnas from the 'O' flew up

And they was slangin that danky stuff

Gettin high with some brothers from MiamI and Cleveland

Kickin back talkin bout we ain't leavin


DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Work It Out



Day and night black and white

You take it all for granted

I'm the one who turns you on



When you don't know where you belong

And nothin' seems to matter

I'm the one who's holding on



It's alright to be wrong

All we need's a little time

But nothing here can last that long



We show the world a brand new face

It's taken us all this time

All this time

All of this doubt

We get to work it out

All of this doubt

We get to work it out



Yesterday lost your way

Still looking for an answer

I'm the one who holds the key



When you don't know where you belong

And nothing seems to matter

I'll unlock this mystery



[Repeat Chorus]



[Guitar Solo]



[Repeat Chorus]



All of this doubt

Day and night - Black and White

Take it all for granted

We get to work it out

I'm the one who turns you on

Turns you on - Turns you on

All of this doubt



When you don't know where you belong

And nothin' seems to matter

We get to work it out

I'm the one who's holdin' on

Holdin' on - Holdin' on

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Factory Girl



(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair

Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere

We get buses everywhere

Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat

Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats

Her zipper's broken down the back

Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights

Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night

She's a sight for sore eyes

Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress

Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet

She ain't come out yet

Waiting for a factory girl


SONNY AND CHER lyrics - So Fine



So fine, so fine, so fine, yeah

My baby's so dog gone fine

He loves me come rain come shine

Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, so fine



He thrill me, thrill me, thrill me, yeah

My baby thrill me all the time

He sends those chills

Up and down my spine

Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, so fine



Well I know he loves me so

You know I know

Cause my baby tells me so



[Chorus:]

So fine, so fine, so fine, yeah

My baby's so dog gone fine

He sends those chills

Up and down my spine

Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, so fine



Well I know he loves me so

Well I know

Cause my baby tells me so



[Chorus]



So fine, so fine, so fine

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Life Is Too Short



Life is too short, don't throw it away

Hear what I say, if you're lonely

Stand up, if you fall down

Please look around, you're not the only



Life is too short, don't lose your time

The sun will shine, for your tomorrows

You'll win, if you don't lose

Try it again, forget your sorrows



There is a chance, make the best, out of your life

But it's so taugh, only the strong, they will survive

There are always some good reasons to live for

Between the shadow, there's a light, you can't ignore

Don't cry a little, little, cry a little, little tonight



Life is too short, don't throw it away

Hear what I say, if you're lonely

Stand up, if you fall down

Please look around, you're not the only, baby, baby



Life is just too short, you can't run away

Baby let me be your soul survivor

Life is just to short, baby everyday

Baby I will lift you, high and higher



No where to go you're always in my heart I swear

Baby I know, if you need me, I'll be there

I will never ever leave you alone, oh no

And we have so many reasons to go, oh no

Don't cry a little, little, cry a little, little tonight


FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - I'm A Band Leader



[Don Van Vliet vocals]



I'm a band leader. Not only can I drink a whole lot, but I play 23 different instruments too and I don't even know how to read music. Self-taught, you know. Couldn't tell it, though, to hear me play. When I play and sway in rhythm to the catchy little tunes that I know all the girls for five miles around get hot pants for me, hotcha!



Last night was pretty good for a Wednesday. We got ten requests for, we got "Bill Bailey," and we played them all and we got seven people came up for the twist contest. I gave away a box with two small bottles of champagne imported from Europe, heh, and kissed the girl who won and shook hands with the guy she was with. He didn't mind when I kissed her because I'm important.



We have a new routine. Been working on it for three weeks or more. I pretend I'm a queer and the sax player pretends he's a queer, too, and later on in the show - this'll kill ya-, we kiss each other so that it looks to the audience like we kiss each other on the mouth, heh. When we go. . . into a fast number, GOD, the people love it! Wait till we get to Las Vegas!



(Ha-heh-heh)


THE MONKEES lyrics - It's My Life



(Micky Dolenz)



It's my life and I'm takin' over now

It's my life and it's time that I learned how

No excuses. For the truth is

It's my life now



I stumble and I fall

And I think about it all

Then I make amends

But it never ends

And I've just begun to wonder why

And I listen to the songs,

And I read all the words,

And I seem to remember something that I heard

Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall



It's my life and I'm takin' over now

It's my life and it's time that I learned how

No excuses. For the truth is

It's my life now



I wanna believe in the miracles

But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup

And I've just begun to look the other way

And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams

On the fantasies or the deities

Don't I think it's time to lean on me?



It's my life and I'm takin' over now

It's my life and it's time that I learned how

No excuses. For the truth is

It's my life now



No excuses. For the truth is

It's my life now


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - We Can Work It Out



(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)



Life is very short

And there's no time

For fussing and fighting

So I'll ask you once again



Try to see it my way

Do I have to keep on talking

Until I can't go on

Boy you see it your way

You run the risk of knowing

That our love will soon be gone



We can work it out

We can work it out



Hear what you're saying

You can get it wrong

And still you think that it's alright

Hear what I'm saying

We can work it out

And when it's straight, we'll say good night



We can work it out

We can work it out



Life is very short

And there's no time

For fussing and fighting

I've have ways thought

That it's a crime

So I will ask you once again



Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right

Or if I am wrong

Boy you see it your way

There's a chance that we might fall apart

Before too long



We can work it out

We can work it out



Life is very short

And there's no time, no time

For fussing and fighting

I've have ways thought

That it's a crime (dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty)

So I will ask you once again

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Comes And Goes



The woman's like the night

She comes and goes

She breaks my heart each day

And never knows

And the time I spend in sorrow

Will match the time I live

And the time that's left is

All I have to give



The woman's like an ivy on a pole

She wraps her twisted love around my soul

There will come a sudden winter

When she'll seek the warmth of day

And there'll come a time when she will come to stay



The woman's like the tide

She comes and goes

She knows the things that I can just suppose

And the time I spend in sorrow

Will match the time that she laughs

And the songs I sing cannot explain but half


BRIAN ENO lyrics - No One Receiving



It will shine and it will shudder as I guide it with my rudder

On its metalled ways

It will cut the night before it as it leaves the day that saw it

On its metalled ways

Nobody passes us in the deep quiet of the dark sky

Nobody sees us alone out here among the stars

In these metal ways

In these metal days



Through a fault of our designing we are lost among the windings

Of these metal ways

Back to silence back to minus with the purple sky behind us

In these metal ways

Nobody hears us when we're alone in the blue future

No one receiving the radio's splintered waves

In these metal ways

In these metal days


VINCE GILL lyrics - The Heart Won't Lie



(Kim Carnes, Donna Terry Weiss)



Looking back over the years

Of all the things I've always meant to say

But the words didn't come easily

So many times through empty fears

Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone

So scared of who might be answering



You try to live your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away



[Chorus:]

Cause the heart won't lie

Sometimes life gets in the way

But there's one thing that won't change

I know I've tried

The heart won't lie

You can live your alibi

Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise

The heart won't lie



Long after tonight

Will you still hear my voice through the radio

Old desires make us act carelessly

Long after tonight, after the fire

After the scattered ashes fly

Through the four winds blown and gone

Will you come back to me



You try to love your life from day to day

But seeing you across the room tonight

Just gives me away



[Chorus]

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Dance Little Sister



(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



On Thursday night she looked a fright

Her pricki hair all curled, oh Lord, what a sight

Dance, dance, little sister, dance

On Friday night she's all decked out

Her high heel shoes, her dress so tight

Dance, dance little sister, dance

On Saturday night she bass-a-dee

She stepping high on Frederick's Street

Dance, dance, little sister, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

It make me hot, I wet with sweat

It burn like hell, I've four hours left

Dance, dance, little sister, dance

Get next to me, drive me close

Don't mammaguay, I lose control

Dance, dance with fire, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Jump out of Africa with a step that looks so bold

Ah, when you kickin' high it make my blood run cold

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

Dance, little sister, dance

On Saturday night we don't go home

We bacchanal, there ain't no dawn

Dance, little sister, dance

I said dance, dance, little sister

Dance little sister

Dance little sister, dance...

L. A. GUNS lyrics - My Koo Ka Choo



When I saw you on the corner

You looked like the cover of a magazine

And I thought to myself

She's about the finest thing I've ever seen



Baby my blood was burning up

I saw your face, wanted your love

Looked in your eyes, it felt so right



My Koo Ka Choo

I am crazy for you

Girl you put a spell on me



My Koo Ka Choo

Everything you do

Going down in history



She was out here for the summer

All alone and I could tell you needed a man

She said her nights were so lonely

And I just told her that I understand



I look at you, You look at me

We can't deny, It's destiny

Always remember the summer with me



My Koo Ka Choo

I am crazy for you

Girl you put a spell on me



My Koo Ka Choo

Everything you do

Going down in history



My Koo Ka Choo

I'll tell what I'll do

Take you just a little bit higher



My Koo Ka Choo

I'm standing next to you

Baby can you feel my fire



She's a mystery

That girl's a fantasy



My Koo Ka Choo

I am crazy for you

Girl you put a spell on me



My Koo Ka Choo

Everything you do

Going down in history



My Koo Ka Choo

I'll tell what I'll do

Take you just a little bit higher



My Koo Ka Choo

I'm standing next to you

Baby can you feel my fire

RAY CHARLES lyrics - I'm Movin' On



That big eight-wheeler runnin' down the track

Means your true lovin' daddy ain't acomin' back

'Cause he's movin on, he's rollin on

You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky

So I'm movin' on

But some day baby when you've had you play

Your gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say

Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on

You were flyin to high for my little ol' sky

So I'm movin' on. Move on baby.

Mr. Farmer won't you please listen to me

'Cause I gotta pretty momma in Tennessee

Keep rollin on, keep movin' on,

Please listen to me let this rattler free

And keep movin' on

Move on ol' son, move on

Well I told you baby from time to time

But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind

And now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on

I'm through with you, too bad you're blue

But I'm movin' on

Move on baby, move on

I said move on, I said move on,

I said move on, I said move on,

Well I'm through with you, too bad you're blue

I said move on, I said move on

I said move on, I said move on


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Sail The Rivers



(Bolder)



Would you give me one more chance

If I agree to your demands

Or will you turn the knife

Keep me in pain till I can't take no more

Would you take the breath of my life

Or are you lookin' for something

I never do right

I should be the one to let go

I could free your body and soul



So here we stand like actors in a play

On an empty stage not knowin' what to say

I tried so hard to get through to you

‘Cos don't you know I still need you

Oh, I need you



If I ask for one more night

Would you let me bathe in your light

Would you let me cover you up

And wrap myself around you

So you feel my love

Is this just the heat of the day

Or am I really feelin' this way

I see your silent tears before the storm

I feel the breeze from a love that's gone



You've always walked on the open sand

You'd risk it all so I'd reach out my hand

I tried so hard to hold on to you

‘Cos don't you know I still need you



Sail The Rivers and drift away

Find yourself on another day

Don't reach out, you have to hold me in bay

‘Cos I will always follow you

Take a knife and cut me down

Spill my blood, watch it fall to the ground

There's no way to turn me around

‘Cos I will always follow you, be a part of you



If I was to offer my life

I'd give it up just to bathe in your light

And you could have it, you could have it all

My heart, my body, my soul

Is this just the heat of the day

Or am I really feelin' this way

I wipe away the tears before the storm

I feel the breeze from a love that's gone



So here we stand, nothing left to say

I give it all but you turn me away

I tried so hard to get through to you



Sail The Rivers and drift away

Find yourself on another day

Sail The Rivers and drift away

‘Cos I will always follow you

I will always be a part of you



Sail The Rivers and drift away

Sail The Rivers and drift away

Sail The Rivers...


ACCEPT lyrics - Run If You Can



Run on up, run on down

Be a step ahead in time

Don't you stop to look in his eyes

He wants your soul, he wants your mind



He'll tear you apart

He'll rip you asunder

Stretch your mind, so look out



Hearts must break, hearts must bleed

When you heed the demon's call

Death is near, light is the speed

Flashing out "just kill them all"



Eat out your heart

Dark master of thunder

Lord of darkness and doubt



Run if you can, shake off the devil

Man, don't you pay with your life

Run if you can, deadly and evil

He's hell on earth and he's alive



Ooh, when it is all over

You've surrendered to the night

Out of the day, knowning no way

Deadly is the demon's night



All you know

Is a real world, real men

Love - what they need, it's gone



Run if you can, shake off the devil

Man, don't you pay with your life

Run if you can, deadly and evil

He's hell on earth and he's alive



Hearts must break, hearts must bleed

When you heed the demon's call

Death is near, light is the speed

Flashing out "just kill them all"



Eat out your heart

Dark master of thunder

Lord of darkness and doubt



Run if you can, shake off the devil

Man, don't you pay with your life

Run if you can, deadly and evil

He's hell on earth and he's alive



And he's alive



Run...


JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - I've Been Out Walking (These Days)



[This song appears on the album "For Everyman" as "These Days" with slightly different lyrics]



I've been out walking

I don't do too much talking these days

These days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had the chance to



I stopped my ramblin'

I don't do too much gamblin' these days

These days

These days I seem to think about

How all the changes came about my way

And I wonder if I'll see another highway



And I had a lover

I don't think I'll risk another these days

These days

And if I seem to be afraid

To live the life that I have made in song

Well it's just 'cause I've been losing so long



Well I'll stop my dreamin'

I don't do too much schemin' these days

These days

These days I'll sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quartertones to ten

Please don't confront me with my failures

I had not forgotten them


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Lonely Nights



(Adams/Vallance)



Will you risk your reputation

I don't know

You just don't know what you're saying

Anymore

You know beggars can't be choosers

And it's bad

We may win, we may be loosers

I don't care, no no no



Oh baby, I just can't stand

Another lonely night

So come on over and save me

Save me from another lonely night



I hear every word you're saying

They're all lies

But with every breath you're taking

You're thinking of a ways to say goodnight



Baby, I just can't stand

Another lonely night

So come on over and save me

Save me from another lonely night

Come on over

Come and save me


NIRVANA lyrics - Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam



[Originally by The Vaselines]



Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me)



Don't expect me to cry,

For all the reasons you had to die

Don't ever ask your love of me



Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for me



Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me)



Don't expect me to cry,

For all the reasons you had to die

Don't ever ask your love of me



[x2]

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for me



Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are never made like me (Alt: Sunbeams are laughing at me)



Don't expect me to cry,

For all the reasons you had to die

Don't ever ask your love of me



Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for me

AC/DC lyrics - Stormy May Day



(Angus Young/Malcolm Young)



The storm is ragin',

The winds are howlin;

The water's calling -

Rescue You.



A flash of lightning,

And all look frightenin;

Horror is comin'

And the sun don't shine.



[Chorus:]

Baby. baby

Make it, Stormy May Day

Make it, Stormy May Day

Stormy May Day



Ahhw!



The sky is darkening,

The dogs are barkin',

I go for help

You hope will get you through



I come for fightin',

I stand besire her,

The people runnin',

And the moon don't rise



[Chorus]



Way Day, May Day

Way Day, Story May Day

Way Day, Story May Day


AMY GRANT lyrics - Fairytale



(Brown Bannister & Amy Grant)



Fairytale, my life was just a fairytale

I was letting an illusion come into this heart of mine

Fairytale, searching for a fairytale

Hiding in a world where life was simple all the time



I was just like Peter Pan in Never Never land,

Afraid of what the future might be

Afraid to face the things I couldn't understand,

Afraid of things that I couldn't see



But fantasy,

I know there's more to life than a fantasy

There's so much more that my life was meant to be

So much more than make believe



Fairytale, it seems just like a fairytale,

But there's something in my heart that says this time the story's real

Fairytale, extra-ordinary tale,

Of a King who offers love so far beyond what I can feel



There's a world out there that human eyes can never see,

But it's just within the reach of the heart

Two Princes wage the battle for eternity,

But the Victor has been known from the start



Now I can see

The truth can seem so much like fantasy

But make believe was never as real to me

I know this time the story's true



I was just like Sleeping Beauty in a Netherland

I was dying under a spell

But then a Prince who comes from a foreverland

Awakened me from my fairytale
