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)

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
ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS lyrics - Hey Gyp

Whoa, love, oh love

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
