THE RAMONES lyrics - Outsider

I am an outsider

Outside of everything

I am an outsider

Outside of everything

I am an outsider

Outside of everything

Everything you know

Everything you know

It disturbs me so



Everybody tried to push me

Push me around

Everybody tried to put me

Try to put me down



All messed up, hey everyone

I've already had all my fun

More troubles are gonna come

I've already had all my fun



Everybody tried to push me

Push me around

Everybody tried to put me

Try to put me down



I am an outsider

Outside of everything

I am an outsider

Outside of everything

I am an outsider

Outside of everything

Everything you know

Everything you know

It disturbs me so

CHRIS REA lyrics - Dancing With Charlie

Charlie was a loser till that sunny day

No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away

Treated like a sinner, no-one gave a damn

Till Charlie threw two sixes

Now he's got them in his hand



Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie



No-one seems to know how

No-one seems to care

Doesn't really matter just as long as you are there

Party in the moonlight, free drinks at the bar

You can bet what's in your pocket that Charlie won't be far

Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie



Charlie bought a jet plane, Charlie rides the sky

Friends appear from nowhere, Charlie gets them high

Big D was a gambler with everything to lose

Charlie didn't have anything

So he didn't have to choose



And they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

And they're standing in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

LEONARD COHEN lyrics - The Law

How many times did you call me

And I knew it was late

I left everybody

But I never went straight

I don't claim to be guilty

But I do understand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

Now my heart's like a blister

From doing what I do

If the moon has a sister

It's got to be you

I'm going to miss you forever

Tho' it's not what I planned

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand



Now the deal has been dirty

Since dirty began

I'm not asking for mercy

Not from the man

You just don't ask for mercy

While you're still on the stand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand



I don't claim to be guilty

Guilty's too grand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand



That's all I can say, baby

That's all I can say

It wasn't for nothing

That they put me away

I fell with my angel

Down the chain of command

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

ASIA lyrics - Can't Tell These Walls

You said time would heal all the scars inside,

But hurt seems to grow not die

No matter how I try

I regret the things that I've said

Can't forget the words you misread that night

I know I was unkind

Sitting here all alone

How I wish I could change the past

Feelings hidden, unshown

Behind the mask



Can't stop the rain from falling

Can't stop the world from turning

Can't take the cold, the hurting

Can't tell these walls I'm missing you



Fallen down, can I pick myself up from the ground?

Look at the face of this clown

I've tried to hide the tears

Sitting here all alone

How I wish I could change the past

Is there ever a chance?

Still the river flows



Can't stop the rain from falling

Can't stop the world from turning

Can't take the cold, the hurting

Can't tell these walls I'm missing you

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - The Secret Life Of Arabia

The secret life of Arabia

Secret secrets never seen

Secret secrets ever green



I was running at the speed of life

Through morning's thoughts and fantasies

Then I saw your eyes

at the cross fades

Secret secrets never seen

Secret secrets ever green



The secret life of Arabia

Never here never seen

Secret life ever green



The secret life of Arabia

You must see the movie

the sand in my eyes

I walk through a desert song

when the heroine dies



Arabia (secret secret)

Arabia (secret)

Arabia (secret secret)



The secret life of Arabia

Never here never seen

Secret life ever green

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Angels

There are no angels left in America anymore

They left after the Second World War heading west

Stopping briefly in Japan during the 60's

Then in Tianamen Square during the last decade

They kept heading west to who knows where

What are they after?

What are they looking for?

A messiah who never comes?

A virgin birth?

A perfect drug?

A sign, any kind of sign?

Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary

Flying over fields and factories

Momma's going off her head

Daddy's bringing home the bacon

Open up the pearly gates

Fruit of salty lubrication

Tangled up in arms and legs

I can barely touch the bottom

Now I'm working up a sweat!

I'm ready now

I'm ready now



I can barely touch my own self

How could I touch someone else?

I am just an advertisement

For a version of myself

Like molecules in constant motion

Like a million nervous tics

I am quivering in anticipation

Like the sunlight on their wings

I'm ready now (don't look back)

I'm ready now (I'm ready for this)

I'm ready now



The sensuous world - the smell of the sea

The sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees

The angel inside - who will meet me tonight

On wings of desire - I come back alive



I'm ready

I'm ready (I put the dogs outside)

I'm ready

I'm ready (to take that ride)

I'm ready now

I'm ready now (to take that wine)

I'm ready now but where are you?

SKID ROW lyrics - Down From Underground

Building shrines to gods you'll never know

Ppraying for rain, settling for snow

Spinning out of times to beats impaired

Do you know your name?

Do you even care?



Can you live your life

Staring at the lights

Naked on the ice?

If it comes too fast, will you get it back

When it all goes black?



Down

Goin' down

Goin' down from

Down from underground



Icons that you hail are all mechanical

Feeling the pull

Lost in the fold

Digging through a hole of discontent

What did you learn?

Or did you forget?



Can you live your life

Staring at the lights

Naked on the ice?

If it comes too fast, will you get it back

When it all goes black?



Down

Goin' down

Goin' down from

Down from underground



And just what should real life be

Why don't you show me, the fiction of reality

The so called life that I see

And just what real life should be

Can't be what you have shown me



If it comes too fast, will you get it back

When it all goes black?



Down

Goin' down

Goin' down from

Down from underground



Down

Goin' down

Goin' down from

Down from underground

TALKING HEADS lyrics - I Wish You Wouldn't Say That

I wish you wouldn't say that

I thought I'd have to come right over

I thought I made it clear enough

I guess I'll have to make it clearer



Say something to change your mind

Bring me back the way I used to be

If it takes forever that's all right

Say the words that I've been trying to hear



I wish you didn't tell her

I thought O'd have to come right over

I thought I'd have to make it clearer

Now Jimmy's coming over



There are places that I won't forget

And I guess I'm never going back

Guess it's information that I lack

I've told lies without a hint or regret



I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that...

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Just Another Rhumba

It happened to me

On a trip to the West Indies

Oh, I'm all at sea

Since that trip to the West Indies



I'm jittery

I'm twittery

I guess I'm done for

I guess I'm through

And it's something about which there's nothing anyone can do



It isn't love

It isn't money trouble

It's a very funny trouble:



It's just another rhumba

But it certainly has my numb-bah

So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah

Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?



Why did I have to plan a

Vacation in Havana?

Why did I take that trip

That made me lose my grip?

Oh! That piece of music laid me low

There it goes again:



Just another rhumba

Which I heard only last Septum-bah

I'm a wreck, why did I have to succumb-bah

Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?

Why did I have to succumb-bah

To that rhumba?



Ahah, I'm the cucaracha, who just went blah

And gave up swinging ha-cha, ahah

Ahah, at first it was devine-ah

But it turned out a Cuban Frankenstein-ah



Ahah, it's got me by the throat-ah!

Oh, what's the antidote-ah?

Ahah, it brought me woe and strife-ah

Oh, where's a gun or knife-ah?

It's the rhumba that blighted my life

There it goes again:



Just another rhumba

But it certainly has my numb-bah

So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah

Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?

Why did I have to succumb-bah

To that rhumba?



[Instrumental break]



There it goes again:



Just another rhumba

But it certainly has my numb-bah

So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah

Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?

Why did I have to succumb-bah

To that rhumba?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Midnight Star

I was waiting in the express lane with my twelve items or less

At the checkout counter at the local grocery store

I was only passin' by

But a paper caught my eye

And I learend a few things I mever knew before



It said your pet may be an extra terrestrial

It said the ghost of elvis is living in my den

You can learn to cope with stress

You can beat the IRS

And the incredible frog boy is on the loose again



Oh, Mignight Star

It's in the weekly Midnight Star

Aliens from outer space are sleeping in my car

Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know



Eat jelly donuts and lose twenty pounds a day

Hear the story of the man born without a head

And top psychics all agree

That the telephone company

Will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead



Oh, Midnight Star

You can believe it if you read it in the weekly Mignight Star

They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar

Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know



Tell me, tell me, tell me how to make my bust-line grow

Midnight Star, I wanna know



Oh, Midnight Star

Well, don't you know that I read it, I read it in the weekly Midnight Star

The UFOs have landed and we'll tell you where they are

Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know



Midnight Star

Well, you can read all about in in the weekly Midnight Star

You can use you ESP to learn to play guitar

Midnight Star I wanna know, I wanna know



(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(Ah, Midnight Star) Inquiring minds like mine wanna know



(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(You can read it [x5], Midnight Star [x2]) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

KISS lyrics - Strutter

I know a thing or two about her

I know she'll only make you cry

She'll let you walk the street beside her

But when she wants she'll pass you by



Everybody says she's lookin' good

And the lady knows it's understood

Strutter



She wears her satins like a lady

She gets her way just like a child

You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"

She takes you down and drives you wild



Everybody says she's lookin' good

And the lady knows it's understood

Strutter



I know a thing or two about her

I know she'll only make you cry

She'll let you walk the street beside her

But when she wants, she'll pass you by



Everybody says she's lookin' good

And the lady knows it's understood

Strutter

Strutter

Strutter

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - O Come, O Come Emmanuel / We Three Kings

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice, rejoice!

Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel



We three kings of orient are

Field and fountain,

Moor and mountain,

Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,

Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to that perfect Light.



We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain

Moor and mountain,

Following yonder star



O Rejoice, rejoice

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect Light

Star of wonder

Star so bright

RICHARD WRIGHT lyrics - Pink's Song

(Wright)



Quiet, smiling friend of mine

Thrown into our lives

You gave everything you could

Saw through our disguise



I had to stay I could not leave

Give me time so I can breathe

Give me time to be at ease



Patiently, you watched us play

Parts you'd seen before

Even then, we sometimes asked

What you keep us for



Caught between the tangled web

You helped set us free

Sadly, then, you lost yourself

So you had to leave



And I must go, be on my way

Let me go, I can not stay

Let me go, I must not stay



And I must go, be on my way

Let me go, I cannot stay

Let me go, I must not stay

KISS lyrics - Hooligan

My granny, she said I was a hooligan

Runnin' 'round like a fool again

I went down to the candy store

If I had a nickel I'd buy some more



And I'm oh so sad, yeah, oh so bad

So sad, but it's true

Baby, what can I do



My mama, she said I was a black sheep

My baby. she said I was a creep

And I'm oh so sad, oh so bad

So sad, but it's true

Baby, what can I do



I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame

Can't even spell my name

Dropped out of school when I was 22

What can I do to satisfy you



I'm a hooligan

Won't go to school again

I'm a hooligan

Won't go to school again, won't go, no



I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame

Can't even spell my name

Dropped out of school when I was 22

What can I do to satisfy you



I'm a hooligan, yeah

Won't go to school again

I mean you know how cool I am

I'm a hooligan, I am a hooligan

Won't go to school again, won't go, no



I'm a hooligan

I mean like I'm so bad

Won't go to school again, yeah, ha, ha

I'm a hooligan

And like every chick in town loves me

Won't go to school again, won't go, no

Nobody's gonna pull me down

BEE GEES lyrics - Immortality

So this is who I am

And this is all I know

And I must choose to live

For all that I can give

The spark that makes the power grow



But I will stand for one dream if I can

Symbol of my faith in who I am

But you are my only



And I must follow on the road that lies ahead

I won't let my heart control my head

But you are my only



And we don't say goodbye

We don't say goodbye

And I know what I've got to be...



Immortality

I make my journey through eternity

I keep the memory of you and me

Inside



Fulfill your destiny

It's there within the child

My storm will never end

My fate is on the wind

The king of hearts

The joker's wild



We don't say goodbye

We don't say goodbye

I'll make them all remember me



Cause I have found the dream that must come true

Every ounce of me must see it through

But you are my only



I'm sorry I don't have the role for love to play

Hand over my heart I'll find my way

I will make them give to me...



Immortality

There is a vision and a fire in me

I keep the memory of you and me

Inside



And we don't say goodbye

We don't say goodbye



In all my love for you

And what else we may do



We don't say goodbye...

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Tender Is The Night

(Russell Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar & Jackson Browne)



Between the darkness on the street

And the houses filling up with light

Between the stillness in my heart

And the roar of the approaching night

Somebody's calling after somebody

Somebody turns the corner out of sight

Looking for somebody

Somewhere in the night



Tender is the night

When you hold your baby tight

Tender are the motions, tender is the night



Between a life that we expected

And the way it's always been

I can't walk back in again

After the way we fight

When just outside there are people laughing

Living lives we used to lead

Chasing down the love they need

Somewhere in the night



Tender is the night

And the benediction of the neon light

Tender are the hunters, tender is the night



You're gonna want me tonight

When you're ready to surrender

Forget about who's right

When you're ready to remember

It's another world at night

When you're ready to be tender



Tender, tender tender...



And in the hard light of an angry sun

No one remembers what was said or done

Tender are the words they choose

You win, I win, we lose



Tender

Tender is the night

Tender

The benediction of the neon light

Tender

Tender are the hunters

Tender is the night

When they hold each other tight

Tender

Tender are the undercover

Tender

The stranger and the secret lover

Tender

Tender are the motions

Tender is the night

When you hold your baby tight



Tender, tender tender...

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - When You Kiss An Italian Girl

[1st verse:]

I no rave about Italy

I no talk about my country

Any place is the same to me

Just so long I got enough to eat

But I'd like-a to tell you dis

I'm-a kiss-a da plenty miss

But of all-a da sweet-a kiss

There's-a one got the world-a beat



[1st refrain:]

When you kiss an Italian gal, boss

Oh! you feel-a

Well, I don't know how to tell-a

But you get so excite

You go home that night

And put your left-a shoe upon the foot what is right

Let an Italian gal, boss

Kiss-a you upon the cheek

And you won't wash your face for a long-a time

'Cause it feel-a so swell

When you kiss an Italian gal



[2nd verse:]

My sweetheart-a look like a freak

Got a face-a just like next week

But the minute I kiss the cheek

Right away she look like Anna Hel'

Married men, if you got da strife

You can lead-a da happy life

Ev'ry time that you kiss your wife

Think of an Italian-a gal



[2nd refrain:]

When you kiss an Italian gal, boss

Oh! you feel-a

Well, I don't know how to tell-a

But before much-a long

You feel-a so strong

You go and choke da monk until he sing-a da song

Let an Italian gal, boss

Kiss-a you upon the cheek

And you won't wash your face for a long-a time

'Cause it feel-a so swell

When you kiss an Italian gal

JOURNEY lyrics - Knowing That You Love Me

(Cain)



I still see the look in your eyes

The night you walked into my life

And how we danced

And the way that we touched

Let me know you'd be mine

And how your love has set me free

An angel watching over me



You lift me up if I should fall

Showing me love

When I was blind to it all

I face the fire and I stand tall

Knowing that you love me



Shared my dreams, gave me wings to soar

My guiding light through the raging storm

I find my strength to carry on

Knowing that you love me



If I could, I'd go back in time

To be there the day you were born

To hold you close

Or to see your smile

And rock you away in my arms

To stand beside you through the tears

Letting go of all the fears



You lift me up if I should fall

Showing me love when I was blind to it all

I face the fire and I stand tall

Knowing that you love me



Ooh, someone to care

And someone to share

The little things that bring joy

To my life ooh, it scares me

We're so close but in my heart

It's got to know

I can't imagine me in a world without you

(You lift me up)



You lift me up if I should fall

Showing me love when I was blind to it all

I face the fire and I stand tall

Knowing that you love me



Shared my dreams, gave me wings to soar

My guiding light

Through the raging storm

Ooh, I find my strength to carry on

Knowing that you love me



That's all I'll ever need

Is knowing that you love me

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Break My Stride

[Matthew Wilder Cover]



Last night I had the strangest dream

I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya

And you said you had to get your laundry clean

Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean? And you said...



[Chorus:]

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no

I got to keep on moving



You're on the road and now you pray you'll last

The road behind was rocky

But now you're feeling cocky

You look at me and you see your past

Is that the reason why you're running so fast? And she said...



[Chorus]



Never let another girl like you whip me over

Never let another girl like you drag me under

If I meet another girl like you I will tell her

Never want another girl like you have to say - oh!



Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no

I got to keep on moving



[Chorus]

DEAD CAN DANCE lyrics - Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



What various paths are followed in distributing honours and possesions

She gives awards to some and penitent's cloaks to others



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd of his cottage and and goatpen

And to whomever she fancies the lamest goat has born two kids



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



Because in a village a poor lad has stolen one egg

He swings in the sun and another gets away with a thousand crimes



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles

BILLY IDOL lyrics - Endless Sleep

The night was black rain fallin' down

I looked my baby she's no where aroun'

Chased her footsteps down to the shore

Afraid she's gone for ever more



Well I looked at the sea, seemed to say

I took your baby from you away

I heard a voice cry in the deep

Come join me baby in my endless sleep



Why did we quarrel why did we fight

Why did I leave her alone last night

That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea

That's wy my baby has gone from me



Well I looked at the sea seemed to say

I took your baby from you away

Well I heard a voice cry in the deep

Come join me baby in my endless sleep

Endless sleep



Out in the water heart full of fear

There in the breaker I saw her near

Reached for my darlin' held her to me

Dragged her away from the angry sea



Well I looked at the sea seemed to say

I took your baby from you away

I heard a voice cryin' in the deep

I took your baby from the endless sleep

I grabbed my baby from the endless sleep

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Reach Out

When the world has gone crazy

And there's no one around

You can talk to

I'll be there in a hurry

Cos I know how you feel

Don't worry



Reach out

I'll be there

Reach out for someone who cares

I'll be there

I'll make you feel fine

I'll put your mind at ease

I can be of help

I know I can

I can help



When you're looking for a friend

You won't find no better

Right on to the bitter end

Here I am

Here I am



When you feel a little bit lonely

There's no need

Can't you hear me



Reach out

I'll be there

Reach out for someone who cares

I'll be there

I will be the one

I'll make you feel fine

I can be the one to put your mind at ease

I can be of help

I know I can

I can help



When you're looking for a friend

You won't find no better

Right on to the bitter end

Here I am

Here I am

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Inside Out

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out



Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be

And everybody tells me do what they say

Oh I'll help myself it's up to me and no-one else

But till I'm ready just keep out of my way



Inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out



Now everybody's got me running round, up and down

And here I am going out of my mind

But I won't lose sight of all the, the things I'm looking for

They're coming to me and I'm taking what's mine



Inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out



I'll play the game

We'll make the same mistakes

It's all the same

If we can give and take

Hold on, hold on, ooh

Hold on, hold on, ooh



Inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out



All of my life I've been searching and hanging on

Turning a corner, never know what I'd find

But now I'm back again like I never went away

Ooh let me in I'm through with wasting my time



Inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out

Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out

Oh inside out, oh inside out

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Take Me

Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.

Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.

Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.

Come make love with me...



Oh...

CHORUS

Come on, take me, take me, and make me feel your music.

Wanna get in deep when it tastes so sweet,

Wanna lose my head tonight.

Come on, take me, take me, make me feel your music.

Well we ain't gonna stop if we're feelin' hot,

Gotta' lose our heads tonight.



How many times I tried to make it happen?

But you always find a way to say good-night.

Tonight we're here alone, your mama's out, there's nobody home,

I'm a harmless kinda crazy so it's alright.



CHORUS



I've seen you give me looks that I've read about in books,

And I finally had to make you play your hand.

There's a reason that you're here, and I think it's perfectly clear.

But it don't take much to make me understand.



Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.

Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.

Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.

Come make love with me, come make love, make love with me.



Oh...

CHORUS

MISFITS lyrics - Shining

Oh



Control the urge to spit up vile worms... soul

Monsters seduced by her attention

Try draining the infection

Whoa-go

Go, oh



Locked in a world of vomit-soaked skin, heaven

Monsters seduced by her attention

She's draining the infection



"Carol Anne," the beast is calling

"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing

"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you

Here it comes, here it comes

Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV

Whoa-go

Go, oh



Control the urge to spit up vile worms... soul

Monsters seduced by her attention

Try draining the infection

Whoa-oh



"Carol Anne," the beast is calling

"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing

"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you

Here it comes, here it comes

Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV



"Carol Anne," the beast is calling

"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing

"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you

Here it comes, here it comes

Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV

[Words in parentheses are by the entire group.

Others are lead singer Eddie Kendricks.]



(Please return your love to me, girl)

(Forgive me for the wrong I've done)



And, oh, baby

I cry myself to sleep at night

For fear of a-never holdin' you tight at all, baby (whoa, baby)

I miss ya more with each passin' day

Every night on my knees I pray

Oh, oh, baby (please)



[Chorus:]

(Return your love to me, girl)

(Forgive me for the wrong I've done

(Without your love, I'm just no good)

(For I am just a lonely boy)



I'm sorry for the wrong I've done

Now I know how it feels to lose that special someone (whoa, baby)

I need you more than words can say

Without your love I can't face another day

Oh, (please)



(Return your love to me, girl)

(Forgive me for the wrong I've done

(Without your love, I'm just no good)

(I am just a lonely one)



Oh, no, no-o-o-o, babe



If there's a heav'n above you'll be my one and only love (and, oh, baby)

I can't control the glow in me

Girl, come on and an' see about me



(Oh, ple-ea-ease)



(Return your love to me, girl)

(Forgive me for the wrong I've done

(Without your love, I'm just no good)

(I am just a lonely one)



I'm a lonely one

I'm a lonely one

I'm a lonely one

I'm just a lonelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy onnnnnnnnnnnnne (I am just a)



[Fade]

(Please, return your love to me, girl)

(Forgive me for the wrong I've done

(Without your love, I'm just no good)

(I am just a lonely one)

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Silent Night

Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace



(Silent night)

(Holy night)

(All is calm)

(All is bright)

Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

(Both) Sleep in heavenly peace

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I Threw A Kiss In The Ocean

[Verse:]

You'll say it's a dream, a lovely dream

I say it happened, strange as it may seem



[Refrain:]

I spoke last night to the ocean

I spoke last night to the sea

And from the ocean a voice came back

'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me



Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy

I can hear you, Sailor Boy



I threw a kiss in the ocean

It floated out on the sea

And from the ocean a kiss came back

'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me



[Coda:]

Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy, Sailor Boy, ship ahoy

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Sunny Skies

Sunny skies sleeps in the morning, he doesn't know when to rise.

He closes his weary eyes upon the day, look at him yawning, throwing his morning hours away.

He knows how to ease down slowly, everything is fine in the end.

And you will be pleased to know that sunny skies hasn't a friend.



Sunny skies weeps in the evening, it doesn't much matter why.

I guess he just has to cry from time to time, everyone's leaving, sunny skies has to stay behind.



Still he knows how to ease down slowly, everything is fine in the end.

And you will be pleased to know that sunny skies hasn't a friend.



Sunny skies sleeps in the morning, he doesn't know when to rise.

He closes his weary eyes upon the day and throws it all away.



Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my window,

looking at the things that pass me by.

Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through,

ending with a friend named sunny skies.

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - I'd Have You Anytime

Let me in here, I know I've been here

Let me into your heart

Let me know you, let me show you

Let me roll it to you



All I have is yours

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to hold you in my arms

I'd have you anytime



Let me say it, let me play it

Let me lay it on you

Let me know you, let me show you

Let me grow upon you



All I have is yours

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to hold you in my arms

I'd have you anytime



Let me in here, I know I've been here

Let me into your heart

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - What Child Is This Medley

[What Child Is This / Do You Hear What I Hear / Joy To The World]



What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe the son of Mary



(Do you) hear what I hear [6x]



Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy

"Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

A song a song high above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea



(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Do you) hear what I hear?



Said the shepherd boy to the mighty King

"So you know what I know?

In your palace warm mighty King

Do you know what I know?

The child the child sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light"



(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world...



Joy to the world the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare him room

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing



(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Do you) hear what I hear?

Joy to the world

(Somebody gotta tell ya)



Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe the son of Mary...

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Bob Robert's Society Band

Well, You've heard about the alligators sleepin' in the shade

You've heard heard about the sugar barons screwin' up the 'glades,

It's a melting pot existence

That is hard to contemplate

And a never ending battle in the Sunshine State.



But far, far away from the front page news,

Far, far away from the headline blues,

Down a secondary road that severely shows its age

The forties comes to life on a make-shift stage.



It's the Bob Robert's Society Band.

Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.

They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.

It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.



Well, the word goes out

From Melbourne to the Keys.

The faithful get the message

Like it's written on the breeze.

Young folks, old folks,

'Bout to cut a rug

Fox Trot, Bunny Hop,

Do the Jitterbug,



To the Bob Robert's Society Band.

Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.

They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.

It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.



I saw mini vans from Boca,

Buses from Perrine.

There were people speaking Hindu

In the Bar-B-Que line.

A couple on their honeymoon

Looked a bit confused.

But the boys in the band put 'em right in the mood.

They played.....



A lady dressed in purple started dancing all alone

Then she sauntered oh so gently to the vacant microphone.

She sounded like she's someone and never missed a beat.

By the time the number ended they were dancin' in the street.



They'd died and gone to heaven,

That lively little crowd,

Trombones and saxophones

Sent 'em through the clouds.

It could have gone all night

But the party had to stop.

When they blew the circuit breaker

In the souvenir shop.



It's the Bob Robert's Society Band

Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand

They don't play grunge and they don't play loud

It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.



It's the Bob Robert's Society Band

Playing every Sunday down at the Orange Grove Stand

They don't play grunge and they don't play loud

It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.

THE RAMONES lyrics - Rock N Roll High School

Well I don't care about history

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school

'Cause that's not where I wanna be

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school

I just wanna have some kicks

I just wanna get some chicks

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school



Well the girls out there knock me out, you know

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school

Cruisin' around in my GTO

Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school

I hate the teachers and the principal

Don't wanna be taught to be no fool

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school



Fun fun rock'n'roll high school

Fun fun rock'n'roll high school

Fun fun rock'n'roll high school

Fun fun, oh baby

BO DIDDLEY lyrics - Say Man

(Ellas McDaniel a. k.a. Bo Diddley)



Say man

What's that boy?

I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend

What about my girl?

Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message

I'm strong enough

I might hurt your feelings

My feelings are already hurt by being here with you

Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day

Ah-ha

And the wind was blowin' real hard

Is that right?

And the wind blew her hair into my face

Ah-ha

You know what else happened?

What happened?

The wind blew her hair into her face

Yeh?

And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it?

I might as well,

The wind blew her hair into the street!

Ok; since you told me about my girl, I'm gonna tell you about yours. I was walking down the street with your girl

Yes?

I took her home, for a drink, you know

Took her home?

Yeh, jus' for a drink

Oh

But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!

You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly; why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested!

That's alright; my momma didn't have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me!

Look-a here!

What's that?

Where are you from?

South America

What's that?

South America

You don't look like no South American to me

I'm still from South America

What part?

South Texas!

Where are your workin' boots at?

I've got 'em on

Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes!

Hey, look-a here!

What's that?

I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is

I already figured out what YOU is!

What's that?

You that thing I throw peanuts at!

Look-a here!

What's that?

You should be ashamed of yourself

Why?

Calling people ugly

I didn't call you ugly

What you say?

I said you was ruined, that's all!

You know somethin'?

What?

You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick!

Hey! I ain't got nothin' to do with it, but I beat the fellah right...!

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Steaming

You're always waiting on the tide

It's time you decide

I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all

You never wanted time to end

To let my life offend

It's time to realize what hides deep inside your holy eyes

Hold on tight, hold on fast

This ain't the kind that always lasts

If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you



Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you

Over the hills and right on through you

Lying awake in these restless dreams

Life's never what it seems

I've always tried to read your eyes

To get inside that scornful mind

Hold on tight, hold on fast

This ain't the kind that always lasts

If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you



Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you

Over the hills and right on through you

I was with you on that pallet steaming

Spinning 'round in circles dreaming

I was with you on that pallet steaming

Running 'round in circles screaming...

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through

All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...

Run away my love, over the hills and right on through

BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - Ting-A-Ling

(Ertegun)



Well now I'm just a poor young boy

And these girls 'bout to drive me wild

Yeah I'm just a poor young boy

And these girls 'bout to drive me wild

Yeah I-I'm just a poor young boy

And these girls 'bout to drive me wild

The way they rock and roll and call me angel-child



The way they laugh, the way they sing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

The way they laugh, the way they sing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

The way they laugh, and si-i-ing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling



Oh well, I'm young and I'm free

And it's a real fine way to be

Yeah I'm young and I'm free

And it's a real fine way to be

Yeah I-I'm young and I'm free-ee

And it's a real fine way to be

I want a fine young girl that is so nice and free



The way they laugh, the way they sing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

The way they laugh, the way they sing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

The way they laugh, and si-i-ing

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Go For Yourself

Hey, where you gonna go for yourself?

I think you should go for yourself.

I think you should go for yourself this time.

I think this time you should go for yourself.

I think you should go for yourself this time.

This time I think you should go down funky Broadway.

Oh, baby, baby.

Baby, I wanna get a job down funky Broadway.

Go for yourself.

Go for yourself.

Go for yourself.

Go for yourself baby.

Go for yourself.

I think you should go for yourself.

Go for yourself.

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - Sad Tomorrows

Flying High in the friendly sky,

Without leaving the ground,

Rest of the folks are tired and weary

And have laid their bodies down

I go to the place where danger waits -

And its bound to forsake me.



So stupid minded,

But I go crazy, when I cant find it,



In the morning I'll be alright my friends-

Soon the night - will bring the pains again



Flying hight in the friendly sky,

Without ever leaving the ground,

Aint seen nothing but trouble baby - paraphernalia is my name

Theres a place where the feeling awaits me,

Self destructions in my hands



So stupid minded,

But I go crazy, when I can find it



I know Im hooked my friends,

To the boy

Who makes slaves out of men...



Ahhh yeah



[The Originals:]

I did the best I could

Nobody understood



Ahhh yeah



I did the best I could

Nobody understood

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Child Of Mine

(Danny Kirwan)



Little child of mine

You'll be lovin' like your little Mother did

Heard it somewhere before

I won't leave you no not like my Father did

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

Little child of mine

You'll be lovin' like your little Mother did

Heard it somewhere before,

I won't leave you, no not like my Father did

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Gone Fishin'

Yeah, ooh, ooh, the only time I get up early

Is to met my mules at the fishin' hole

I wanna catch the one that got away

I wanna feel my pole bending in that way



Since I was a kid, I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin', yeah



St. John's River runs north not south

Smart enough to have a large mouth

If you can hook 'em, you can mount 'em

You can keep 'em around

But if they break your line, they're gonna go back down



Since I was a kid, I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin'



Oh, ain't nothing like sunrise on the lake

Or when the moon comes up at night

Oh, there's things out there that can take your life

You might just die of fright



But I'll be there come rain or shine

See it's what I like to do

Only thing better than settin' the hook

Is settin' my hook in you



Oh, I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin'

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, whoa, yeah



I've been everywhere, tried everything

But there ain't nothin' that feels the same

When you find the right one, it's a magical thing

Next thing you know, it's a diamond ring



Well, she hooked me and took my name

I fell hook line and sinker gone fishin', yeah

Gone, gone fishin', she hooked me

Gone, gone fishin', yeah, yeah

Gone, gone, gone fishin', yeah



She's my baby, gone, gone, gone fishin'

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, gone fishin'

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Living In Harmony

(Tarney/Spencer)



It's not funny when you're lonely

It's much better when you're living in harmony

With someone you're really digging

And you want to give it all that you've got



Don't wanna make you cry

Don't wanna tell you lies

Don't wanna bring you down

Or treat you unkind

Just wanna make you mine

And hear you laugh all the time

Don't wanna break this tie

I'm telling you why



It's not funny when you're lonely

It's much better when you're living in harmony

With someone you're really digging

And you want to give it all that you've got



Now things were bad before

So I walked out the door

I guess I soon found out

What life's all about

But now I'm here to stay

Can't see me wandering away

Don't wanna break this tie

I'm telling you why



You can take a little loving

But if you're not giving

It'll never be worthwhile

You can take a little loving

But if you're not giving

It'll never work out fine



Play it to me, John



But now I'm here to stay

Can't see me wandering away

Don't wanna break this tie

I'm telling you why

It's not funny when you're lonely

It's much better when you're living in harmony

JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - Manic Depression

Manic Depression's touching my soul,

I know what I want,

but I just don't know how to go about getting it.



Feeling, sweet feeling

drops from my finger, fingers

Manic Depression's captured my soul.



Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain,

you make love,

you break love,

it's-a all the same when it's...

when it's over.



Music sweet music,

I wish I could caress, caress, caress.

Manic Depression's a frustrating mess.

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' go on down.



Really ain't no use me hanging around.

Oh, I gotta see you.

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Bambino Io, Bambino Tu (Legenda)

(Paoli / Mammoliti - Zucchero / Jones / Poggiani / Wacha)



Lui stava li seduto nel giardino

ed era quasi nudo e piccolino

da dove era venuto non lo so

era normale che lui fosse li

aveva un occhio nero e un occhio blu

bambino mio, bambino oh.



Sembrava primavera ed era inverno

e c'erano dei fiori tutto intorno

doveva essere buio e c'era luce

e tutto quello che mi piace

aveva un occhio nero e un occhio blu

bambino mio, bambino oh.



Mi sono seduto in terra li vicino

ed era lui mio padre e lui mio figlio

ho parlato di cose che non so

di cose che non ho saputo mai

aveva un occhio nero e un occhio blu

bambino mio, bambino oh.



E ninna oh e ninna ah

E ninna oh e ninna ah



Poi mi e venuto sonno li in giardino

cantava e la sua voce era sottile

mi sono svegliato e lui non c'era piu

c'era un fiore di carta al posto suo

io avevo un occhio nero e un occhio blu

bambino mio, bambino oh.



Mi sono svegliato e lui non c'era piu

io avevo un occhio nero e un occhio blu

bambino mio, bambino tu.

bambino mio, bambino tu.



E ninna oh e ninna ah

E ninna oh e ninna ah



E ninna oh e ninna ah

E ninna oh e ninna ah

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Dear Friend

Dear friend, what's the time?

Is this really the borderline?

Does it really mean so much to you?

Are you afraid, or is it true?



Dear friend, throw the wine,

I'm in love with a friend of mine.

Really truly, young and newly wed.

Are you a fool, or is it true?



Are you afraid, or is it true?

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Don't Release Me

A one two a one two

Yeah, yeah

I'd like to introduce to you

Wyclef Jean and Gloria Estefan

When the Cubans meet the Haitians and Sicilians

Hold your corner, hold your corner

For all the thugs who've ever been in love



Hey, yo, this ones goes out

For the Cuban Kings and Queens

You ever fell in love with a pretty serpentine

I met her at the club

Yes down with my pager

Ask her what's her name

She said, Gloria

Where you from?

Cuba

What you do?

I'm a singer

I pulled out my stash

She said, are you a dealer from Havana

No, no

Yo, can I buy you a tequila

She said, Hell no, I'll take a pina colada

Now with one drink

I'll put her in a spell

I'm huntin' the kid

Like a ceetah hunts a gazelle

I know it's wrong

But I'm waiting for her mistake

So I can take over like the devil's advocate



Please don't release me

Don't release me

From this spell you got me under

I can't let go

I cant't let go

Got to hold on to you baby

Got to hold on to you now

Ooh you make me feel like I could lose control

I'm gonna lose it right now



I wanna show you what love can do

You know I feel like I am walking in the clouds

And I don't wanna come down

I can't let go, oh no



Please don't release me

Don't release me

From this spell you got me under

I can't let go

I cant't let go

Got to hold on to you baby

Got to hold on to you now



Show me how to find the way to paradise

You can take me there

I want to be the only lover in your life

Ooh baby, don't release me

I got this feelin' that I can't explain

Don't you know I feel like I could

Rise above the ground

Don't wanna come down



Please don't release me

Don't release me

From this spell you got me under

I can't let go

I cant't let go

Got to hold on to you baby

Got to hold on to you now

STING lyrics - Clear Or Cloudy

(John Dowland)



Cleare or cloudie sweet as April showring,

Smooth or frowning so is hir face to mee,

Pleasd or smiling like milde May all flowring,

When skies blew silke and medowes carpets bee,

Hir speeches notes of that night bird that singeth,

Who thought all sweet yet jarring notes outringeth.



Hir grace like June, when earth and trees bee trimde,

In best attire of compleat beauties height,

Hir love againe like sommers daies bee dimde,

With little cloudes of doubtfull constant faith,

Hir trust hir doubt, like raine and heat in Skies,

Gently thundring, she lightning to mine eies.



Sweet sommer spring that breatheth life and growing,

In weedes as into herbs and flowers,

And sees of service divers sorts in sowing,

Some haply seeming and some being yours,

Raine on your herbs and flowers that truly serve,

And let your weeds lack dew and duly starve.

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - The Real Thing

Amanda, I know what you're thinking,

You and I have much to say,

And you've been making you crazy,

Trying to understand

But it's impossible at your age.



I know I said I'll always try,

But you're going to bed alone again tonight,

And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.



I did it for you, and the boys,

Because love should teach you joy,

And not the imitation,

That your mama and daddy tried to show you.

I did it for you, and for me,

And because I still believe,

There's only one thing,

You can never give up,

Or ever compromise on,

And that's the Real Thing you need in love.



You're so afraid your life is over,

And nothing I can say can change your mind.

How can anybody be so selfish,

And treat you all so cruel,

Go on and scream at me and cry

I'll always hold you in my soul,

And I'm never going to leave you all alone

But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.



I did it for you, and the boys,

Because love should teach you joy,

And not the imitation,

That your mama and daddy tried to show you.

I did it for you, and for me,

And because I still believe,

There's only one thing,

That you can never give up,

Never compromise on,

And that's the real thing you need in love.



Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,

Not everybody's sailing out to sea,

And is there someone there for me?

I'm ready to believe.



I did it for you, and the boys,

Because love should teach you joy,

And not the imitation,

That your mama and daddy tried to show you.

I did it for you, and for me,

And because I still believe,

There's only one thing,

That you can never give up,

Never compromise on,

And that's the real thing you need in love.

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - A Waste Land

When love's gone

There's no one

A waste land

A ghetto

When love's gone

A tear on

A waste land

Your pillow

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - She Says

(B. Guadio, J. Holmes)



[Recorded August 25, 1969, New York]



She says she's sleeping well, she says she's lost some weight

She says she's seen some shows, she says the city's strange

(So she says) She says the weather's cold, she says there's been some rain

She says there's lots to see, she says she hopes we're fine (So she says)

(So she says) The price is high, high as the sky

And she says, she says, she's comin' home

DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES lyrics - Save Me A Star

(Gordy/Gordy/Bradford)



You're building a private heaven

You're reaching out so far

When you reach your goal

With joys untold

At least

Save me star



When you finish

Your private heaven

Think of me

Wherever you are

Remember how true

I was to you



And at least won't you

Save me star



Though I'd hate to see you go

A kiss for luck and fame

But if you should stumble

And your heaven tumble

I'll welcome you home again



When you finish your private heaven

Though it be near or far

Once again I'll call to say

At least won't you

Save me a star

Oh, save me a star

KATE BUSH lyrics - Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake

Emma's come down.

She's stopped the light

Shining out of her eyes.



Emma's been run out on.

She's breaking down

In so many places,

Stuck in low gear

Because of her fears



Of the skidding wheels,

(The skid of her wheels she feels.)

Skidding wheels,

(The skid of her wheels she feels.)

Spinning wheels.

(Wheel-skidding feeling.)



Her heart is there,

But they've greased the road.

Her heart is out there,

But she's no control.



Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.

You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.

Don't drive too slowly.

Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.

Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.



(She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...)



She's losing that inner flame.

It was burning bright,

But she's losing the light fast.



She's only herself to blame.

Well, take care of yourself,

And remember Georgie.

But she's so O. D.'d on weeping

She can harDLy see



That she's dropping beads.

(Red, red glass is bleeding.)

Dropping beads.

(Red, red glass is bleeding.)

Dropping beads.

(Red, red on the parquet.)



Her heart is there,

But they've greased the road.

Her heart is out there,

But she's no control.



Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.

You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.

Don't drive too slowly.

Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.

Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Broken Down

(Simon Climie & Dennis Morgan)



Everything was wonderful when you were in my life.

Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight.

Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before.

The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door.



[Chorus:]

The moon don't shine, it's broken down.

The clouds are crying, they're broken down.

The car won't start, it's broken down.

And this shattered heart, it's broken down.

My whole damn world, it's broken down.

Since you left me girl, I've broken down.



Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block.

I stopped by the church that I used to go inside but even that door was locked.

So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall.

My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call.



[Chorus]



Said my whole damn world, it's broken down.

Since you left me girl, I've broken down.



Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.

Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.



[Chorus]



I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down.

Since you left me girl, I've broken down.

My whole damn world, it's broken down.

Since you left me girl, it's broken down.

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - The Ladies' Auxiliary

Oh, the Ladies' Auxiliary

It's a good auxiliary.

'Bout the best auxiliary

That you ever did see.

If you need an auxiliary,

See the Ladies' Auxiliary.

It's the Ladies' Auxiliary.

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Does The Wind Still Blow In Oklahoma

[Reba:]

LA's a fast horse daddy

Everybody rides

I'm sorry I haven't called home lately

Out here time flies

I met a boy a few weeks back

He plays in a band

He's a whole lot like you daddy you're gonna like him

He's a good man

At times lonley sneaks up on me

But I'm getting by

Yeah I know what you've always told me

Cow girls don't cry



[Chorus:]

But does the wind still blow in oklahoma

Out here the hollywood stars sure shine bright

It's such a long way from home here in California

Missin you and that blue wide open sky



[Ronnie:]

Out here it's all freeway fast cars

Cold concrete

You won't believe all the crazy people

Bally girls sun sets free

I met a girl you're gonna like her mama

She has your hair

Red as the telecross sunset

Seems like an angel I swear

I can't say I don't get lonsome

But I'm alright

Cow boys kinda go with homesick

Like blue moons and whipperwill nights



[Chorus]

HEART lyrics - Wheels

Night inside the city

Empty sidewalks

Stretching under dizzy lights

Rain is hummin'

The streets are runnin'

Underneath the neon lights

We run together

We'll run forever

Outta here ridin' the wheels



Look at pretty windows

At shiny people

Statues under sparkling lights

Just take a picture

And a melted moment

Flashin' on the crazy ride

Just close your eyes now

And breathe a sigh now

We're gettin' outta here

Outta here

Ridin' the wheels

(Ridin' the wheels)

Ooo-uh

Ridin' the wheels

(Ridin' the wheels)

Ridin' the wheels



(Wheels)



Outta here, ridin' the wheels

(Ridin' the wheels)

Ridin' the wheels

Ridin' the wheels

(Ridin' the wheels)

Ridin', ridin' the wheels

(Ridin' the wheels)

Ridin', ridin', ridin' the wheels

Ridin' the wheels

Ooo-oh

Oh

Aye

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

A new born King to see

Pa rum pum pum pum



Our finest gifts we bring

Pa rum pum pum pum

To lay before the King

Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum



So to honor Him

Pa rum pum pum pum

When we come



Little baby

Pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too

Pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring

Pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give to our King

Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum



Shall I play for you

Pa rum pum pum pum

On my drum



Mary nodded

Pa rum pum pum pum

The ox and lamb kept time

Pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for Him

Pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for Him

Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum



Then He smiled at me

Pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

DEMON lyrics - New Ground

(Dave Hill-Mal Spooner)



Seeing things now

No one has seen

Am I so unique?

Will they know what I mean?

Standing on new ground

Standing on new ground

Changes were made

Outraced the light

Feeling no fear

Only wonder

In the eyes of it all

All nothing and this

We tore down the shadows

You didn't exist

Standing on new ground

Standing on new ground

Standing on new ground

Standing on new ground

So many memories

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Never Been Gone

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)



The wind is coming up strong and fast

And the moon is smiling on me

Miles from nowhere so small at last

In between the sky and the sea



I'm bound for the island

The tide is with me

I think I can make it before dawn

It's night on the ocean

I'm going home

And it feels like I've never

I've never been gone



Seagulls cry and the hills are green

And my friends are waiting for me

Freat ambition is all a dream

Let me drown my pride in the sea -



I'm bound for the ocean

The tide is with me

I think I can make it by dawn

It's night on the ocean

I'm going home

And it feels like I've never

I've never been gone

Oh it feels like I've never

i've never been gone

ELOY lyrics - A Broken Frame

face that shaped dreams

lost in a broken frame

colour is fading but for now

seems all the same

the smile i loved in the mornings

now miles away

once restrained and then winning

once so open and next discreet



hear the drizzle of the rain

window's creaking

are there foot-steps in the hall

no a tap must be leaking

I'm lonely



all these noisy little nothings, silly nothings

drive me insane, it's scary

can you imagine just how i feel

i'm slipping i'm drowning

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something



the bit of certainty i had

undermined and shaken

it's fading

the walls of sand are finally breaking

i'm slipping i'm drowning



can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something



nothing is collapsing it's all unchanged

but it is stuck in a broken frame

there's still a balance that will remain

and won't slip out of a broken frame



no further will i drift away

abandoning my course

i start it now

i'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away

i start it now



can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something......

DORO PESCH lyrics - Chained

(D. Pesch / G. Scruggs)



Do unto others

As you'd have them do to you

It would make our life so easy

Yeah there's gold in that rule

But money is a god

For so many in this world

Yeah, they wanna own the souls

Of every man, woman, boy and girl

It's sad but true to see

It is them against you and me

But we are



[Chorus:]

Chained,

Chained, chained for life

Chained

Chained 'till we die

And together we will fight

For what we know is right

Yeah we are

Chained

Chained, chained for life

We are chained, chained, chained, chained

We are chained, chained, chained, chained



Angels walk among us

But there are devils out there too

And they cast their evil on us

Hoping we'll do what they want us to do

Turning love into hatred

Making dreams become untrue

And the only thing that's sacred

Is the bond between me and you

It's sad but true to see

It is them against you and me

And we are



[Chorus]



There's evil all around us

But I don't fear it

It's time to raise our voices

And let them bastards hear it

Watch out



[Chorus]

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Tomorrow Is A Long Time

(Bob Dylan)



If today was not an endless highway. If tonight was not a crooked trail.

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all.



[Chorus:]

Yes' 'n' only if my own true love was waiting; if I could hear her heart softly pounding.

Only if she were lying by me, I'd lie in my bed once again.



I can't see my reflection in the water. Can't speak the sounds that show no pain.

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps. Can't remember the sound of my own name.



[Chorus]



There's beauty in the silver singing river. There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky.

But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty that I remember in my true love's eyes.



[Chorus]

R. E.M. lyrics - Stumble

We'll stumble through the yard

We'll stumble through the yard

We'll stumble through the A-P-T

We'll stumble through the yard

Force fields. Explorer racing home, the ancient star.

Yellow mixed with golden hue.

Scan the graveyard, dead there be.

Ball and chain. Ball and chain.

Ball and chain. Ball and chain.



[Repeat 1st verse 3 times]



It was round about midnight. Hipster town.

Imagine going for a walk.

Things get around to taking place. It's not a waste of time.

The rich got a little poorer.

Things get around to taking place. If they're gonna happen at all.

Don't need that jazz. Don't need that stuff.

It was round about midnight. Hipster town.

It was round about midnight. Hipster town.



[Repeat 1st verse]

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Riding To Vanity Fair

I bit my tongue

I never talked too much

I tried to be so strong

I did my best

I used the gentle touch

I've done it for so long



You put me down

But I can laugh it off

And act like nothing's wrong

But why pretend

I think I've heard enough

Of your familiar song



I tell you what I'm going to do

I'll try to take my mind off you

And now that you don't need my help

I'll use the time to think about myself



You're not aware

Of what you put me through

But now the feeling's gone

But I don't mind

Do what you have to do

You don't fool anyone



I'll tell you what I'm going to do

I'll take a different point of view

And now that you don't need my help

I'll use the time to think about myself



The definition of friendship

Apparently ought to be

Showing support for the one that you love

And I was open to friendship

But you didn't seem to have any to spare

While you were riding to Vanity Fair



There was a time

When every day was young

The sun would always shine

We sang along

When all the songs were sung

Believing every line



That's the trouble with friendship

For someone to feel it

It has to be real or it wouldn't be right

And I keep hoping for friendship

But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there

While you were riding to Vanity Fair

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Sorry Sue

(Scott Miller, Steve Earle)



I'm not who you think I am

I'm a boy, not a man

It ain't really me you want

I'm just the one you're counting on



Sorry Sue, I'm not in love with you

It ain't you, I was born this blue



Take a look around this place

The floors are swept, the pictures straight

But underneath all that decor

Are empty walls and nothing more



Sorry Sue, I'm not in love with you

It ain't you, I was born this blue



Run for cover and get some rest

Pleasant dreams, I'll do my best

If I'm not everything you need

Don't forget it's just a dream



Sorry Sue, I'm not in love with you

It ain't you, I was born this blue

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Naked In The Rain

Standin' on the corner of civilization

There's a time there's a place for me

In a world where I can't be found

Cold and mean people give me the creeps



Going to the jungle where the elephant roams

Got to get away gonna make it my home



Losing my taste for the human race

Social grace is a waste of time

It's absurd when I look around

So sublime that we blow my mind



Naked in the rain with a killer whale

I can taste the salt when I lick his tail



[Chorus]

Naked in the rain

Doctor Doolittle what's your secret

Give it to me doctor

Don't keep it



I never met an animal that I didn't like

You can come to me I won't bite

Don't you know dog is man's best friend

There is some love that you can't fight



Naked in the rain with black tattoos

Runnin' through the woods laughin' @ the blues



[Chorus]



Listen to the talking heart in my chest

With this gift good Lord I am blessed

There's a lump and it's in my throat

I'm in love with the wilderness



Naked in the river skinny dippin' my way

In the waterfall I just wanna play



[Chorus]

[Chorus]

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - In a Sentimental Mood

In a sentimental mood

I can see the stars come through my room

While your loving attitude

Is like a flame that lights the gloom

On the wings of every kiss

Drifts a melody so strange and sweet

In this sentimental bliss

You make my paradise complete

Rose petals seem to fall

It's all I could dream to call you mine

My heart's a lighter thing

Since you made this night a thing divine

In a sentimental mood

I'm within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt that you'd be loving sentimental me

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - It Mean I'm In Love With You

(Tony Romeo)



I can't sleep at night

I ain't been eating right

Just seeing you and me together

Together, together



We'll I've been skipping down the cobblestones

Talking to myself alone

Sleeping by the telephone

And I like it



Ever since we talked that night

Flying like a summer kite

My momma says I ain't been right

I believe it



[Chorus:]

'Cause it means I'm in love, I'm in love

'Cause it means I'm in love with you

'Cause it means I'm in love, I'm in love

'Cause it means I'm in love with you

'Cause it means



Got myself together if I say so myself

Love is going to get me by, by

Jack in the beanstalk

Climbing all the way to the beautiful sky

To the beautiful sky, to the beautiful sky



[Chorus]



Got myself together if I say so myself

Love is going to get me by, by

Jack in the beanstalk

Climbing all the way to the beautiful sky

To the beautiful sky, to the beautiful sky, together



I can't sleep at night

I ain't been eating right

Just seeing you and me together

Together, together



'Cause it means I'm in love, I'm in love

'Cause it means I'm in love with you

[Repeat 4x]

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - For All Time

Sun comes up on this new morning

Shifting shadows, a songbird sings

And if these words could keep you happy

I'd do anything



And if you feel alone, I'll be your shoulder

With a tender touch, you know me so well

Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters

Baby, who can really tell when two hearts belong so well



Maybe the walls will tumble

And sun may refuse to shine

And when I say, I love you

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)



Moon shines down on this good evening

One warm kiss in this cold night air

For this good love i'm receiving

I'll go anywhere, just as long as you are there



And maybe the walls will tumble

And sun refuse to shine

When I say, I love you

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)



The sun in me

All these words that young lovers say



And maybe the walls will crumble

And sun refuse to shine

And when I say, I need you

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)



Baby, you never know

(That's for all time)

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)



Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time)

Baby, you gotta know

(That's for all time, that's for all time, that's for all time)



See that you'll never go

(That's for all time)

Baby, you never know

(That's for all time)

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - The Secret Of Giving

(Rick Bowles/Sunny Russ)



In this life we all go through hard times

When we struggle and pray for a lifeline

Just needing someone

To show us the way



To you the glass might seem half empty

But it's half full to those without any

So hold on to hope

And try to have faith

Oh, you've got to have faith



If there's just one secret to living

Whoever you are

It's learning the meaning of giving

With an open heart/With an open heart



If you offer the best part of yourself

Even when you don't have anything else

Honest and true

It'll come back to you

Love comes back to you



If there's just one secret to living

Whoever you are

It's learning the meaning of giving

With an open heart/With an open heart



With your arms wide open

The world opens wide

And you'll believe it deep inside



That there's just one secret to living

Whoever you are

It's finding that true joy in giving

With an open heart/With an open heart

DOBIE GRAY lyrics - Drift Away

Day after day, I'm more confused

Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain

You know that's a game that I hate to loose

And I'm feelin' the strain

Ain't it a shame



Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away



Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time

I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

Now I'm countin' on you

To carry me through



Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away

Yea, give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away



And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitar's comin' through

To soothe me



Thanks for the joy that you've given me

I want you to know I believe in your song

And rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You help me along

Makin' me strong



Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away



Oh-ho, ah-no

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away



Hey, hey, hey, yeah

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

And drift away



Na, Na, now won't ya

Won't ya take me

Oh-ha, take me

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - I'm A Writer Not A Fighter

If you put me in a ring

For a few rounds of boxing

I'll fall down right there on the ground

Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter



If you take me to a place

Where old trouble shows its face

I'll bow out

No, I won't hang about

Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter

But if you came to burn my home

I'd be out there on my own

Fighting tooth and nail

To keep you all at bay

But don't ask me to defend

What I cannot comprehend

That is violence simply for violence sake

Now if you want me to prove myself

Without anybody's help

This I will do

In a gentle way too

Cause I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm a writer, not a fighter

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Big Boots

(Wayne - Edwards)



They call your daddy Big Boots

And Big Boots is his name

It takes a big man to wear big boots

That's your daddy's claim to fame

They know your daddy Big Boots

Wherever soldiers are

'Cause he can handle an armored tank

Just like a kiddy can

So sleep little soldier

Don't you cry

Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

General sandman's soon coming by

Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

I'm gonna tell you a little secret

You won't believe it's true

Did you know your

Daddy Big Boots

Once wore little boots like you

STATUS QUO lyrics - Gerdundula

(Manston/James)



Love it seems I just can't find

Love it seems I just can't find

Seems that I'm the one love

The one love left behind



I've searched it just won't come my way

I've searched it just won't come my way

It's love that I want now

So what more can I say



Women seem to pass me by

Women seem to pass me by

If I could find the reason

I'd know the answer why



Love it seems I just can't find

Love it seems I just can't find

Seems that I'm the one love

The one love left behind

NAZARETH lyrics - Cat's Eye, Apple Pie

Cat's eye, apple pie, what am I going to do,

The woman I loved walked out on me,

What am I going to do.

Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,

The woman I love has done me wrong,

What am I going to do.

Green beans, blackeyed peas,

What am I going to do,

The woman I love has let me down,

What am I going to do.



She's a delta queen know what I mean,

As mean as wildfire lightnin',

She can win and break the heart of any man,

She's the delta queen of New Orleans,

And she loved me somethin' frightnin',

But she left me for a dollar wavin' man.

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Wild Nights In Tulsa

Here I am in L. A. and L. A.'s been bringin' me down

I only have but one reason mama, for stayin' here in this old town

The air I'm breathin' is heavy, and you've been out sneakin' around

It may be rainin' in Tulsa child, but if you need me that's where I'll be found



I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Old nights out on the town

Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Tulsa won't let me down



I dreamed I left old L. A., left it for the highway sound

I can't wait to get back home, Tulsa used to be my town

I slid into Junior's place to fix myself a couple of brews

I settled back in a big soft chair and put my lovin' arms around you



I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Old nights out on the town

Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Tulsa won't let me down



I woke up from a deep sleep, thinkin' about how long I've been gone

It's sure nice to think about you, Tulsa is the place I was born

I remember the good times, and now I'm gonna make it last

Yes I'm finally gonna get back home, do some catchin' up with the past



I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Old nights out on the town

Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Tulsa won't let me down



I'm dreamin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Old nights out on the town

Dramin' of wild nights in Tulsa

Tulsa won't let me down
