FATES WARNING lyrics - Outside Looking In

Staring, silent, naked and cold

Outside looking in

Peeling away this fragile shell

To face the fear within

And the man in the mirror looks on

As the cuts begin



Outside looking in

Getting over my fears and under my skin

Tearing myself apart

To feel whole again, outside looking in



Running, tired, tortured and torn

Outside looking in

Clawing away these open scars

To heal the wounds within

And the man in the mirror looks out

As he reaches in



Outside looking in

Getting over my fears and under my skin

Tearing myself apart

To feel whole again, outside looking in



Too many things left undone

Too late to turn back

I could change course before the end

But when all is said and done

All i really want

Is a chance to start again



Staring, silent, naked and cold

Outside looking in

Feeling my way through this wilderness

For a place to begin

And the man in the mirror reaches out

To the man within

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Loving You

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)



I will spend my whole life through

loving you, loving you.

Winter, summer, spring-time, too,

loving you, loving you.

Makes no difference where I go or what I do.

You know that I'll always be loving you.



If I'm seen with someone new,

don't be blue, don't be blue.

I'll be faithful I'll be true;

always true, true to you.

There is only one for me, and you know who.

You know that I'll always be loving you.

ROXY MUSIC lyrics - Eight Miles High

(Clark, Crosby, McGuinn)



Eight miles high

And when you touch down

You find you're

Stranger than known

Signs in the street

That say where you're going

Are somewhere

Just being their own

Nowhere is there

Warmth to be found

Just those afraid

Of losing their ground

Rain grey town

Known for its sound

In places

Small faces around

Round the squares

Huddled in storms

Some laughing

Some just shapeless forms

Sidewalk scenes

And black limousines

Some living

Some standing

Alone

THE HILLTOPPERS lyrics - A Fallen Star

A star fell from Heaven

Right into my arms

A brighter star I know I've never seen

Then I found out that it was

Only you with all your charms

Who came into my life to fill a dream



A fallen star, that's what you are

The twinkle in your eye came from the sky

You must have strayed from the Milky Way

A fallen star, that's what you are



A fallen star, that's what you are

The twinkle in your eye came from the sky

You must have strayed from the Milky Way

A fallen star, that's what you are

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Abductors

(Tipton/Downing)



Abductors - they come at night



They come at night and they infiltrate you

The paralyse and they mentally rape you

Expressionless they disintegrate you

The probe your soul and desecrate you



Abductors - will bleed your mind

Abductors - cutting inside

They come for you in the night



They strap you in-struments laid before you

And powerless begin to explore you

You scream in pain but they just ignore you

The bring machines and they drill and bore you



Abductors - cutting inside

Abductors - drinking your mind



No-one believes that you

Were chosen from few

Defiled and abused

By alien rituals



You wake in fright there in your room

You better hope your memory fails you

A lower form of life to them

Just one more blood experiment



Abductors - will bleed your mind

Abductors - cutting inside

They come for you in the night



They send you back and disorientate you

A lesser race they discriminate you

Whatever said will incriminate you

No-one believes



The sceptics laugh an annihilate you

They dig you out and they excavate you

Authority and even God forsakes you

No-one believes



Hey maybe I am just a liar

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - How High The Moon

(Morgan Lewis/Nancy Hamilton)



Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune

Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon

There is no moon above and love is far away too

'Till it comes true

That you love me and I love you



Somewhere there's music, how near how far

Somewhere there's heaven, that's where you are

The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon

Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon



Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune

Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon

The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon

Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon



The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon

Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon

BADFINGER lyrics - Knocking Down Our Home

Your heart is in your home they say

Your home's where you belong

But someone stole my heart today

So listen to my song...



I heard the news today

They're going to move us far away

Seems that our home must go

They're going to build a motorway



It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

Ruining all we own

They're knocking down our home

Please help us

Don't let them take our home



Ma's cooking at the stove

Where she's cooked for thirty years

Ten thousand meals she's cooked

But now her eyes are filled with tears



It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

Ruining all we own

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Ill Wind (You're Blowing Me No Good)

Blow ill wind, blow away

Let me rest today

You're blowin' me no good (no good)



Go ill wind, go away

Skies are oh so gray

around my neighborhood, and that's no good



You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'

Ain't that a shame

It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up

from out of nowhere, when love's to blame



So ill wind, blow away

Let me rest today

You're blowin' me no good (no good)



[Musical interlude]



You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'

Ain't that a shame

It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up

from out of nowhere, when love's to blame



So ill wind, blow away

Let me rest today

You're blowin' me no good (no good)



Blow, ill wind, blow.

UFO lyrics - Couldn't Get It Right

You wake up in the morning

Look for a clue, something new

Turn on the radio and it's as dead

As the visions dying in your head

And when you were young

You had big ideas no hidden fears

You had your heroes they were walkin' tall

Now your devotion seems comical



(1) So now you' got older

And the world's got colder than it used to be

Every day gets longer and turns into the darker night

Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history

I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right



You played the game as children

Didn't understand life's not so grand

Love hurts you and you can be the lonely, lonely one

Some people got it easy

They got it made, so unafraid

You'll be the fool and find the winner he's gonna take it all



(1) Repeat



[INSTRUMENTAL]



(1)Repeat

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - One Too Many Girlfriends

Talkin' 'bout a hot-wired kid who thought he knew it all

And what he didn't know, he didn't need to

Changin' women like tires when their use wore thin

Retread feelings, that's all we knew

He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears

He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat

Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears



[Chorus:]

One too many girlfriends, and too little feeling left

He better find the one, he's gonna take on the run, before it runs him down

He's got far too many choices, he better make a few of them

He wants to have it all, and wind up standin' tall

I hope his dream never ends, I guess it just depends

He's got one too many girlfriends



Well there's so damn much writin' written on his walls

I can't imagine that he doesn't read it

Such a loud clear message screaming through the halls

Keep your advice, he don't need it

He's heard of living up to the truth, thinks it means giving up his youth

He doesn't wanna get a haircut, looking for a shortcut

He needs a change, he needs more than a phone booth



[Chorus]



Whooo, there's anger and romance at every turn

Whooo, be careful boy that you don't crash and burn

You're in about as deep as you can get

It's a matter of time before you get wet

I wouldn't be in your shoes on a bet



[Solo]



He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears

He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat

Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears



[Chorus]



He's got one too many girlfriends... look out!

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Mama Told Me (Not To Come)

(R. Newman)



Want some whiskey in your water?

Sugar in your tea?

What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?

This is the craziest party that could ever be

Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see



Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"



Open up the window, let some air into this room

I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume

And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death

Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath



Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"



The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door

I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor

I seen so many things I ain't never seen before

Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more



Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"



"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"



"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Cheek To Cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain

And reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing

In a river or a creek

But I don't enjoy it half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

(Come on and) Dance with me

I want my arm(s) about you

That (Those) charm(s) about you

Will carry me through...

(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)

Out together dancing cheek to cheek

LES ROCKETS lyrics - Future Game

The times are changing fast

Now this is a new generation

Our children are the start

Of the new electronic nation

And you'd be such a fool compete with their superbrains

It's a new coming race

Teenagers' life became so easy

Hope they won't fail the test

For machine games can drive you crazy

And you'd be such a fool to believe it was all in vain



The future game

It's in the air, nothing to spare, play it if you dare

The future game

Never the same, try it again, again and again

The future game

You've gotta choose, nothing to lose, it will never end

The future game



Space attack, laser fight

Endlessly self-regenerating

Video games, alright!

New programs for the people waiting

Nobody doubt the space invaders' a great big success



Future game...

Future game Future game,

Future game - Superbrains

Future game In the air

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - And Remember To Be ... Cosmically Conscious

C'mon, Be Cosmically Conscious,

Cosmically Conscious With Me.

How To Be Cosmically Conscious,

Cosmically Conscious With Me.



Such A Joy, Joy.

Such A Joy, Joy.

So That Means

Such A Joy

THE CURE lyrics - Going Nowhere

I'm going nowhere

Don't look so scared

I'm going nowhere



So tell me that you love me again

Tell me that you care

So tell me that you love me again



Yeah I'm going nowhere

Don't look so scared

I'm going nowhere

Could be

Could be

Could be

I'm already there

KANSAS lyrics - Need To Know

How do I know what you say is real

How do I know if that's the way you feel

You're the only one who's seen me

In the dark hours in the kitchen chair

Are you still there do you still care

That's all I really need to know



Watching the rain come pouring down

Washing the stain off this old town

They say misery loves company

But ain't there something else we can share

Are you still there do you still care

That's all I really need to know



It scares a man

When glory days are gone

But here I stand

I know I'mn not alone

I got pictures in my mind

And the radio takes me back in time

Are you still there you're in my prayer

That's all I really need to know

TOM WAITS lyrics - Virginia Avenue

Well, I'm walking on down Virginia Avenue

Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to.

Harold's club is closing, and everybody's going on home:

What's a poor boy to do?



I'll just get on back into my short, make it back to the fort

Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain.

There's got to be some place that's better than this

This life I'm leading's driving me insane



And let me tell you I'm dreaming...



Let me tell you that I'm dreaming to the twilight, this town has got me down.

I've seen all the highlights, I've been walking all around

I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus, carry me away from here:

Tell me, what have I got to lose?



'Cause I'm walking on down Columbus Avenue

The bars are all closing, 'cause it's quarter to two

Every town I go to is like a lock without a key

Those I leave behind are catching up on me,

Let me tell you they're catching up on me, they're catching up on me

Catching up on me, catching up on me, catching up on me.

SLAYER lyrics - Read Between The Lies

(Lyrics: Araya, King; Music: Hanneman)



Evangelist you claim God speaks through you,

Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity.

You care not for the old that suffer,

When empty pockets cry from hunger.



Penniless from their generosity,

Sharing their money to quench your greed.

Searching for the answer to their prayers

They cry their last wish of need.

Save me.



His spirit lives and breathes in me.

The almighty transformed to your screen.

The meanings lost in its translation,

No holy words, describe his deception.



You say you'll help us find the lord,

Tell me preacher how do you know

A simple quest for a visible savior,

To lead us through our final prayer.

Save me.



Send your donations,

Contribute to the cause.

Luxuries,

Your righteous reward?



Praise the lord, praise god,

Is what you wish to sell.

There is no heaven without a hell.



[Lead: Hanneman]



In your mind's eye could you truly believe,

That by giving you can save your soul,

Could you be so naive!

You heal the sick,[you] raise the dead,

You blind the congregation

With the things you say.



Religious blackmail a deceit of trust,

That death will come and all will be lost.



Can you hear the serpents call,

Look deep in those deceiving eyes.

Ignore the writing on the wall,

You should read between the lies.



When doubt subsides his honesty,

An inquiry, is it blasphemy?

Impure the soul, that's made to suffer,

No sermons left to hide or cover,

An empty promise, lie unfulfilled,

To steal a dream or get it killed.

They claim your trip to heavens nearby,

You may believe it but satan wouldn't lie.

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long Long Time)

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Zero hour nine a. m.

And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much I miss my wife

It's lonely out in space

On such a timeless flight



And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Till touch down brings me round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone



Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact it's cold as hell

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man



And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

CHEAP TRICK lyrics - She's Leaving Home

(Lennon/McCartney)



Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

Silently closing her bedroom door

Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief

Quietly turning the backdoor key

Stepping outside she is free



She (We gave her most of our lives)

Is leaving (Sacraficed most of our lives)

Home (We gave her everything money could buy)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years (Bye bye)



Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

Picks up the letter that's lying there

Standing alone at the top of the stairs

She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone

Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

How could she do this to me?"



She (We never thought of ourselves)

Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)

Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years (Bye bye)



Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made

Meeting a man from the motor trade



She (What did we do that was wrong)

Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied

For so many years (Bye bye)



She's leaving home

Bye bye

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - When The Eagle Flies

(Winwood/Capaldi)



When the eagle flies you'd better watch your eyes

He's gonna sweep everything in his path

And when the heavens cry it's gonna drown the sky

And you'll get caught in the aftermath



When the mountains move it's no good trying

To prove that you've been doing everything you can

And don't you start to cry when you're about to die

You gotta stand up and take it like a man



Because you've been taking instead of giving

And all the while you've been living lies

Economics, all your atomics

Ain't gonna save you from that bird in the sky



And when the good times roll wrapped up in your mink coat

You will be stepping from your Cadillac

You will be stepping from your Cadillac

And in a micro flash you're gonna feel the lash

Of big eagle's wing across your back



And when the seas subside you'll see him glide right out of view

In clouds of snow the rains will come

And wash away the scum so that all the little flowers can grow



There'll be no more taking, only giving

And the sun pouring down

No economics and no atomics

Just the spread of Mother Nature's gown

Do you hear me, Mother Nature?...

AMERICA lyrics - Sometimes Lovers

Sometimes there are teardrops across your face

Sometimes there are rainbows in the same place

And I don't know which way to turn



Sometimes lovers don't act like they should

And sometimes lovers don't do all they could

Sometimes lovers hide in the cover

Of innocence and blame

I know sometimes we act just the same



Your heart's in the city, it wears me down

No love, no pity, in this town

And I don't know which way to turn



Sometimes lovers don't act like they should

And sometimes lovers don't do all they could

Sometimes lovers hide in the cover

Of innocence and blame

I know baby



Hold on tight to me mama

Tell me what went wrong

I'm alright I will lay beside you

Till the night is gone



Ah, oo...



Sometimes lovers don't act like they should

And sometimes lovers don't do all they could

Sometimes lovers hide in the cover

Of innocence and blame



Sometimes lovers don't act like they should

Sometimes lovers don't do all they could

Sometimes lovers hide in the cover

Of innocence and blame

L. A. GUNS lyrics - No Mercy '99

Come on Jane, I wanna hold ya tight, yeah

Give ya love, make you feel alright, yeah

I say the things that you wanna hear

I'm gonna whisper in your ear.



Show no mercy

Show no mercy

Show no mercy



But did you think you were the only one

Just a victim of a love and run

Lonely heart and a woman in black

I broke your heart and I ain't coming back



And I'm sorry if I broke your dream

Watch your life come apart at the seam

I know it ain't fair

I broke your heart, yeah yeah



Show no mercy

Show no mercy

Show no mercy



I'll be standing in the shadows of love



Hey yeah, so I'm indiscreet

Shattered dolls and a fait accompli

I wonder why, why I keep up the chase

I'm just a fool for a pretty face



Show no mercy

Show no mercy

Show no mercy

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Great Leap Forwards

I jumped up like Apollo

Crash landed on my feet

The sun shot like a laser through my brain

A little death had woken up

And put a curse on me

But I knew that that I'd be coming back again

Inspiration, across the nation

There's a poverty of expectation

All I got to do was move ahead

It's a blue sky

It's a while cloud

It's a flame

It's a blue sky

White cloud

Burning flame



I shot back to the mirror

There was nothing left to see

But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside

I could feel the dust of ages

They were blowing back at me

But I knew that I was born to get it right



Everybody take the great leap forward

Everybody knows the mysteries at hand

If you've been praying all those sweet days for this

Don't you know there is a whole different plan

Sometimes I hear the madman calling

He talks about some dark eternal place

I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment

And now I've got to find some other ways



One touch ignites this eagle

One kiss for heavens view

I need the flame so I can feel alive

You can tell my little brother

No requiem for me

I knew that I was born to make this flight



Inspiration across the nation

There's a poverty of expectation

All I got to do was move ahead

IGGY POP lyrics - Rock Show

Rockshow

You came to see a rockshow

A big gigantic cock show

You came to see it all



Rock show

You came to hear it

You came to sear it

You came to do it all



If you think you're gonna

Get it for credit

Forget it

Don't bet

Call the medic

He's pathetic

He's got to let it go



Let's go

Rock show

Come on

Rock show

You came to see a rock show

This isn't a fuckin' talk show

You came to see it all

You came to fear it

You came to sear it

You came to do it all



It's me you want for credit

Forget it

Don't panic

Call in the medic

He's pathethic

He's got to let it go



Cause if you gonna get it

For credit

Forget it

Don't bet it

Call in the medic

It's pathetic

He's gonna let it go



Let's go

Rock show

Come on

Rock show

Let's go

Rock show

Let's go

Rock show

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - It Overtakes Me / The Stars Are So Big, I Am So Small... Do I Stand A Chance?

It overtakes me, It overtakes me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I

It overtakes me, It Master-Slaves me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I



It overtakes me, It overtakes me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I

It overtakes me, It Wakes and Bakes me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I



You know that it isn't real

You'll disappear in a black hole

You know that it isn't real

Floating out of control.... Oh Wow



It overtakes me, it overtakes me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I

It overtakes me, It Master-Slaves me

It overtakes me... Oh oh oh I



And I'm there, looking up at the sky

And I'm scared, thinkin' 'bout the way that I

Don't understand anything at all...

And how it overtakes me... and I am just so small...

Do I stand a chance?

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Rain

(Rain rain don't go away)

(Rain rain don't go away)

Rain let's us cuddle while the rain

Pitter patters on the pane

And we're alone

A chance to while away the dreary afternoon

The lovely peaceful afternoon

So no one can see us



Rain (don't go away)

It's so cozy in the rain (don't go away)

There's no reason to complain

If she's with you

To hold her hand and then it's ten to one you'll kiss her

In the rain rain rain



Rain it's so cozy in the rain (pitter patter on the pane)

There's no reason to complain

If she's with you

To hold her hand and then it's ten to one you'll kiss her

In the rain (rain) rain (rain) rain (rain)

Rain rain rain

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Back In The Village

(Smith/Dickinson)



Turn the spotlights on the people

Sitch the dial and eat the worm

Take your chances, kill the engine

Drop your bombs and let it burn



White flags shot to ribbons,

The truce in black and burned.

Shellshock in the kitchen.

Tables overturned



[Chorus:]

Back in the village again

In the village,

I'm back in the village again.



Throwing dice now, rolling loaded

I see sixes all the way,

In a black hole and I'm spinning

As my wings get shot away.



No breaks on the inside,

Paper cats and burning barns,

There's fox among the chickens,

And a killer in the hounds.



Questions are a burden

And answers are a prison for oneself

Shellshock in the kitchen

Tables start to burn.



[Chorus]



But still we walk into the valley

And others try to kill the inner flame

We're burning brighter and before

I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!



Back in the village again

In the village

I'm back in the village again

Back in the village again

In the village



I'm back in the village

Back in the village

Back in the village again.

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - In Tune With You

When you see the golden trigger

Stand before your eyes

By the time you stop to figure

Lady Wingshot flies away.



You are so inviting

And I feel so in tune with you.

Your draw is fast as lightning

My eyes are captured by your moves.



You ride in three-ring splendor

I find I'm rising with the crowd

Too small for you to see me

Although I'm yelling right out loud.



When you see the golden trigger

Stand before your eyes

By the time you stop to figure

Lady Wingshot flies away.



You are so inviting

And I feel so in tune with you.

Your draw is fast as lightning

My eyes are captured by your moves.



My my, Lady Wingshot

Why can't you slow down in a crowd.

Bye bye, Lady Wingshot,

Each blow is ringing true and loud.

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.



Everybody knows a turkey

and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.



They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys

and goodies in his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer

really know how to fly.



And so I'm offering this simple song

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said

Many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you.



And so I'm offering this simple song

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said

Many times, many ways

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you.

CHIC lyrics - Le Freak

Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out

Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out



Have you heard about the new dance craze

Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed

Big fun to be had by everyone

It's up to you, it surely can be done

Young and old are doing it, I'm told

Just one try, and you too will be sold

It's called Le Freak, they're doing it night and day

Allow us, we'll show you the way



Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out



All that pressure got you down

Has your head spinning all around

Feel the rhythm, check the ride

Come on along and have a real good time

Like the days of stomping at the Savoy

Now we freak, oh what a joy

Just come on down, two fifty four

Find a spot out on the floor



Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out



Now freak



I said freak



Now freak



All that pressure got you down

Has your head spinning all around

Feel the rhythm, check the ride

Come on along and have a real good time

Like the days of stomping at the Savoy

Now we freak, oh what a joy

Just come on down, two fifty four

Find a spot out on the floor



Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out

Ah, freak out

Le freak, c'est chic

Freak out

CHRIS REA lyrics - Cenotaph / Letter From Amsterdam

Snow hard up against my doorway

And it's falling twice as fast

Funny I was just thinking of you my friend

How long you were gonna last

Driving those blizzards cross Europe

Snow chains on you back

64 feet of mobile thunder, leaving a ten wheel track



It's good to hear from you, go easy when you can

My day is better for your letter from Amsterdam



I stand alone by the Cenotaph

Where the unknown soldier lies

And it's somewhere out there that you are

This freedom angel died

To save us from depression

Today I look around, boys our age and younger

I fear we let them down



It's good to hear from you, go easy when you can

My day is better for your letter from Amsterdam



The town square's disappearing

It drifts up to my knees

Midnight silence deafening

And my feet begin to freeze

Is it because we don't remember?

We cannot understand?

But me and the unknown soldier

Got your letter from Amsterdam

THE CHURCH lyrics - Night Of Light

Dishwater cafe in a torn paper street

A rundown future let me down

Now everything's complete

Uncurling human tragedy

Apparently a parody

Send my love upstairs to me

She used to be a symphony



I let her go into the night

Night of light, satellite

Quite a sight to see



Dream importer's underling who answers to the boss

Can't afford a breakage

I'll pay for any loss

Uncurling human tragedy

There's definitely a remedy

Let her come and look for me

She used to be the enemy



Seaside town in winter

I'm trying to write my book

She's broken down, it's raining

I said I'd have a look

Uncurling human tragedy

Appropriately a mystery

She tells my story back to me

She said I'll live this chapter till eternity

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - You Want It, You Got It

I think I told you maybe once or twice before,

They'll only hold you down,

leave you wanting more.

But you refuse to listen, babe,

so this is where you'll stay,

If you weren't so bloody juvenile,

you'd be some where today.

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it now.



You think you want a break but I got news for you,

I think it's time you start believing your reviews.

Stood me up and shot me down so many times before,

But dropping names and playing games won't get you through my door.



If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it now.

DAVID COVERDALE lyrics - Wherever You May Go

You mean the world to me

More than I can say

And when I look at you

It takes my breath away

I look into your eyes

And see the love for me

Once again I realise

There's no where else

I'd rather be



And when my life is over

When my time is through

I'll still be loving you



You're all I want

Everything I need

When I look at you

It's easy to believe

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Wherever you may go

My heart will follow you



You stand beside me

When my backs against the wall

You cradle my uncertainty

And catch me when I fall

So put your arms around me

Like a circle around the sun

Touch me with your healing hand

And show my life has just begun



And when this time is over

When this life is through

I'll still be loving you



You're all I want

Everything I need

When I look at you

It's easy to believe

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Wherever you may go

My heart will follow you



And when my life is over

When my time is through

I'll still be loving you



You're all I want

Everything I need

When I look at you

It's easy to believe

No Matter what you say

No matter what you do

Wherever you may go

My heart will follow you

ELOY lyrics - Giant

Mighty men of power

great goliaths who've turned sour

never feeling, never caring

only, blindly you're

following one flight of power

crushing all who stand there before you

Taking, breaking, you

even make the strong man cower

grind to dust, those who can't pay your due

With careful plans, your lies

there's no risk and no mistake

ignore the small man as he cries

smash him, and then he'll co-operate

Giant, stop for a moment

and search deep within your heart

are you so sure you're right

you could make a new start

If you left this earth

who would care

what d'you think you're worth

just a share

You don't have much time

face the truth

you'll pay for your crime

you must choose

There's another way of living

see what you get by giving

take your chance, find your own way

take it, while you may

Forget that thing called pride

just awaken what's inside

stop decieving, start believing

your humility will be your last misleading guide

the seeking mind could then show you how

Freely, gladly now

fulfill yourself, be satisfied

give all the love that you can endow

With simple joys your life

will be rich and so much more

welcome the feeling, see it thrive

the peace that you've been searching for

BOB DYLAN lyrics - John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore.

His mama sure was proud of him!

He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all.

His mama's face broke out all in a grin.



"Oh son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine,

You make me proud to know you hold a gun.

Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get,

And we'll put them on the wall when you come home."



As that old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout,

Tellin' ev'ryone in the neighborhood:

"That's my son that's about to go, he's a soldier now, you know."

She made well sure her neighbors understood.



She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile

As she showed them to the people from next door.

And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun,

And these things you called a good old-fashioned war.



Oh! Good old-fashioned war!



Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come.

They ceased to come for about ten months or more.

Then a letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train.

Your son's a-coming home from the war."



She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around

But she could not see her soldier son in sight.

But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last,

When she did she could hardly believe her eyes.



Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off

And he wore a metal brace around his waist.

He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know,

While she couldn't even recognize his face!



Oh! Lord! Not even recognize his face.



"Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done.

How is it you come to be this way?"

He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move

And the mother had to turn her face away.



"Don't you remember, Ma, when I went off to war

You thought it was the best thing I could do?

I was on the battleground, you were home. . . acting proud.

You wasn't there standing in my shoes."



"Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?

I'm a-tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin'.

But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close

And I saw that his face looked just like mine."



Oh! Lord! Just like mine!



"And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink,

That I was just a puppet in a play.

And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke,

And a cannon ball blew my eyes away."



As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock

At seein' the metal brace that helped him stand.

But as he turned to go, he called his mother close

And he dropped his medals down into her hand.

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Lost For Words

I was spending my time in the doldrums

I was caught in the cauldron of hate

I felt persecuted and paralyzed

I thought that everything else would just wait

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades

Like shadows into the night



To martyr yourself to caution

Is not going to help at all

Because there'll be no safety in numbers

When the Right One walks out of the door



Can you see your eyes blighted by darkness?

Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?

Stuck in a world of isolation

While ivy grows over the door



So I open my door to my enemies

And I ask could we wipe the slate clean

But they tell me to please go fuck myself

You know you just can't win

BRIAN MAY lyrics - Ressurection

(Brian May, Cozy Powell, Jamie Page)



There's a pain in my brain

Confusion in my heart

My blood's fit for bursting my body apart

I'm gonna ride - ride the night into the morning sun

Yeah I'm gonna make my resurrection

No more of this crap

Got a whole new direction

Ain't no turning back

Resurrection is a-gonna come

My spirit is weeping

For freedom it cries

Been scraping my living

In the valley of lies

Gonna ride the night into the morning sun

Yeah I'm a victim of a victim

Of a conspiracy

From a corpum derelictum

Gonna fly and be free

Resurrection is a-gonna come - yeah

Clear the vision

Heal the system

Sins forgiven

Rise

Flee the prison

Break the system

Sins forgiven

Rise

Ride the night

Yes I know I'm still alive

Gotta ride the night - yeah

I'm gonna ride

Rise again in the morning light

There's no sense in my counting

The price of those years

There's too many heartaches

And too many tears

Ride the night into the morning sun

Yes I thought I was dreaming

But the east is ablaze

With the promise of the future

Those Heavenly days

Ride the night into the morning sun

Ride the night into the morning sun

Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come

WILL SMITH lyrics - Maybe

[Tra-Knox:]

Ooooooooo - gotta know ya

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

All right fellas - let's do it



[Verse 1]

Yo ma, we got this thing right? (Thing right)

It's like, makin' me think like (Think like)

It's like fillin' my heart up

Not makin' me hazy, just

Fillin' my mind up with all of these maybes

I'm trying to figure exactly the thing

It's like, got me wreckin' my brain

It's like, tryin' to put words to a smile (Smile, smile)

But like, trying to figure out, forget it - look

It's really kinda hard to explain

How ya smile been burnt in my brain (Oh ya)

And how ya purfume sing a sexy song to my nose

And how ya finger tips gentle like the petales of roses

Maybe it's the way you comb your hair (Comb your hair)

Or maybe it's them stylish cloths you wear (Style you wear)

Or maybe it's them little things you do

Or maybe it's just you (Maybe just you)



[Chorus:]

Maybe it's your attitude (Attitude)

Maybe it's your point of veiw (Point of veiw)

Mabye it's the time we spend together (Together)

Mabye we could do this thing forever

Mabye it's your soldier ways (Soldier ways)

Mabye it's golden gaze (Golden gaze)

Maybe it's the way we blend together (Together)

Maybe we should do this thing forever



Remember we met with shakin' T-shirt that first night?

That was the worst night, right?

Well, I mean, we had fun and all, ya, that's true

But you had somebody else and I did too

So it felt like karma and fate had formed a team

To keep me from the girl of my dreams

But in the end, I made friends with hope and destiny

And then, well, the rest is history

But yo, it wasn't easy though, trust

I mean, tryin' to turn you and me into us

You my hommie, my lover, my best friend

The White House to the ghetto

You blend right in and I dig that

I could never imagine this passion I feel

I mean, couldn't imagine it could last what I feel

But if somebody do something to you?

Shoooot, girl I might just.....



[Chorus]



[Tra-Knox:]

I must tell you how I love you

Mabye your my soul-mate

Maybe my best friend

You made me and molded me

A better man, yes I can believe in love

Ooo ya ya ya, mabye, mabye, mabye

No, no, no, no



[Chorus]

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - The Minute Waltz

(O'Kun)



I have got a minute, just a little minute,

I have only got a minute, just minute,

I have only got a minute that is all the time

I have to sing this tiny minute waltz

It isn't easy but I'll try it

Than I gotta say goodbye

But first I take a minute

And put in it every note that Chopin wrote

and I shall sing the little minute waltz

And hope that I can sing with no faults

and though it's difficult

I'll give it every gust of air I got within in my body

Hope that my performance will be very shiny

Singing every note will not do wonders for my throat

I probably will end up hoarse

Of course I will have done it

And a will for that I made

That what I want is not the money

but the satisfaction that I get

from winning money on this silly kind of bet

Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention

Chopin isn't here to make an intervention

So with your permission and no intermission

I will sing each note that that composer wrote

as you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling

but no one can say I wasn't very willing

to attempt a thing that's not been done

and just for fun to sing the minute waltz

As I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzes by

And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune

and I'm falling far behind

I have less than 30 seconds

less than 30 seconds

less than 30

less than half a minute

I have less than 30 seconds

I have less than half a minute

to complete this little minute waltz

And every note that's its score

While the sands of time I know are pouring

Let me win my bet and I'll run with the money

Down to some drug store whare I will buy a honey

Or a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world I've won

Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial

And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile

Unless someone knows how to stop the clock

you gonna see me cry before I said goodbye

Eight little measures to complete this song

But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if

Only I can last the scale

I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!

MARILLION lyrics - Drilling Holes

(Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



A man came to drill holes in the afternoon

And by the evening

Most of the afternoon had gone

I seem to have slept through the morning

But in the afternoon

A morning is yet to come



A girl came to help out in the kitchen

And by the evening

We found we were all washed up



We ate on the lawn

With the insects

We burned incense

Most of the band turned up



It was just one of those days

When the mind strays

One of those days

When everyone plays

One of those days

When everyone stays

And all of the dreaming goes on



A woman arrived in a panic

With a picnic

Better to give than receive



A man came to pick holes in the logic

He wore plastic

And shoes you would hardly believe



The evening arrived

Slightly early like a pygmy

Chewing the wrong kind of leaves



We ordered extra tea

Listened to XTC

Under a shady tree

Went back to bed at three

It was cool

As can be

(two sugars for me..)



It was just one of those days

When the mind strays

When everyone plays

One of those days

When everyone stays

And all of the dreaming goes on

One of THOSE days.

KISS lyrics - She

She walks by moonlight

No one really knows

Enchanted starlight

Never goin' home



I know she's goin' down, goin'

Everybody knows she's so good



Doin' well for others

She doesn't really know

The powers are within her

As she takes off her clothes



I know she's goin' down, goin'

Everybody knows she's so good



Doin' well for others

She doesn't really know

The powers are within her

As she takes off her clothes



I know she's goin' down, goin'

Everybody knows she's so good

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Hold On Dear Brother

(Ricky Fataar/Blondie Chaplin)



Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Oh Brother

Ooooo



Tried to close my eyes

To all around me

Oh no you just can't escape

If I lose one friend

Will I still have you



Won't you please

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Oh Brother

Ooooo



What can I love that isn't you

But you never understand inside of me

Till you realize a look

You never get more than you took



Won't you please

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Oh Brother

Brother



In your heart you know it love

A simple feeling that you shout

I want your love

You touch my hand

I need your love

To carry me home



In your heart you know it love

A simple feeling that you shout

I want your love

You touch my

I need your love

To carry me home



Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

Hold on dear Brother

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Love In Time

The world is filled with restless lovers

Ever waiting for another chance to try

To find what's passed them by



The night is broken with the crying

Of the lost who wonder why

They're never found

It's such a sorry sound.



[Chorus:]

But Love in Time will come to all

Take your breath and break your fall

All of those who hunger will be fed.

And just when things are looking dark

Love will come and take your heart

And wake in you a promise long unsaid



The winds of fortune rarely grace

Those who try to force the pace

And will not see

That love can't be had for free



Those who try to place a price on

The value of their sacrifice

Will suffer long

Theirs is the saddest sound

NICO lyrics - Das Lied Vom Einsamen Madchen

Sie herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug

Bevor sie es zerbrach

Und hatte eine Sehnsucht

Und wusste nicht wonach



Weil sie einsam war

Und so blond ihr Haar

Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein

Und wer von diesem Wein trank

Konnt' nie mehr glucklich sein



Doch einer sprach im Fruhling:

"Auch Du fuhlst Lust und Schmerz"

Und brach ihr tausend Rosen

Doch sie brach nur sein Herz



Weil sie einsam war

Und so blond ihr Haar

Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein

Ja, keine konnt' so kussen

Und doch so einsam sein



Was blieb von ihrem Leben

Ein Lied, das niemand sang

Sankt Peter liess sie warten

Zwei Ewigkeiten lang



Weil sie einsam war

Und so blond ihr Haar

Und ihr Herz so tot wie Stein

Dann rief er: "Armes Kind, komm,

Sollst nie mehr einsam sein"

L. L. COOL J lyrics - Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?

Warning, MC's stand back

You better take a chill and observe the skill

of the man who can, so understand god damn

I got a masterpiece a master plan and a brand new

way to attack the wack cut 'em down to size

to realize LL's back

Don't sleep I'm too sweet to repeat a beat

a lyric or rhyme I wouldn't waste your time

with weak words, that's for nerds, you never heard a rhyme

So you deserve a line rougher than rough enough is enough

I'm, gonna slaughter choke ya smoke ya like a sauna

You don't really wanna

But if you wanna battle on here's a lesson: stop 'fessin

I'm a lethal weapon, you better get to steppin

off the stage, and outta my face

You're too light?? save the bass



Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?



It seems like people-'ll never understand

On the microphone I'm not your average man

I cool out sometimes, I save my best rhymes

and then the toy boy thinks that he can come and get mine

Let your friends gas him up, talk trash and make bets

then gets played like those kids who tried to rob Goetz

You don't know what I'm sayin? Yo check it

Give me any microphone and god damnit I'll wreck it!

I'm coldblooded I'm about to mutilate

Last year before I left I told you to wait

But you couldn't stay loyal started goin astray

Thinkin Tom, Dick, and Harry can mess with Cool J

Is you crazy? I'm boomin, got the talent of two men

The stamina and skill in battle to kill a few men

The heart of a lion, the loyalty of a soldier

I wreck your whole mob then tell ya I told ya!



Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?



Cause I don't jab around you, I come inside

Bob and weave, deceive until you get tongue tied

Brawl for all give a lyrical display

and next time you know better than to get in my way

"Yo whassup wit LL?

Will he ever make another 'Rock the Bells'?"

Yo brothers is comin up, "I think he's fallin off

I don't think he's still 'hard as hell'"

See, this is the attitude, of ignorant ones

cause they don't know, all them MC'sll get done

One or two might say, "Yo L'll be back"

but the rest they be suckin on SUGAR SMACKS

Talkin that crap about who's better than me

You think so? Just let a MC

make me mad enough, to really wanna battle

I put a L on his ass like he was cattle!



Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?



Just cause I make a love song, or say a simple rhyme

"Boom, move over L, it's Miller Time"

I don't know whether to laugh, get ill or get wild

Cause brothers don't realize, I got so many styles

like triplin up the words, confusin all the nerds

Heard put my sights on mics and?? flippin above the word

to the mother, no other

MC brother, can mess with Ladies Lover

I'm original, I'm bright under color

And when I get on the mic, yo I burn rubber

Can't stand criticism, give 'em an exorcism

Been rockin for years, now I have wisdom

The way I'm kickin the lines you can hear my tongue twist

and it'll have your neck spinnin like you're spineless

I'm pickin 'em up, throwin 'em down

Hypin 'em up and slowin 'em down

All of these words with only one tongue

Shakin 'em up and then bakin 'em up

Smash boom bash scrapin 'em up

Now you thought that was hard, I just begun

Cause I'm a roll on the microphone

And take control just like Al Capone

I'm notorious, you're foolish if you sleep on me

Cause I'm too slick to let a rapper get sweet on me

Try to make a move for my heavyweight belt

You get played like the Wizard of Oz witch, you melt

Yo I'm crazy dope, with super hype lines

and a lot of hype lines make one dope rhyme



Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?



Cause that's what it is



Why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

Why do you think they call it dope?

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Twenty-Five Fingers

(McCartney-MacManus)



Twenty five fingers baby

I love your nails I love your touch

I love to touch you baby

It never fails to kill me



Some say gimme five

But I'll give you ten

You could make it twenty

But you're holding out again



Think it over think it over baby

Well think it over think it over baby



I will always love you

That can't be denied

Love you up until the day

That heaven knows I've tried



For the time being I will tell you this

I'd love to love you love to love you

But there's something missing

Baby listen unconditionally

Put your hand in my hand and surrender to me



Think it over think it over baby

Well think it over think it over baby



Twenty five fingers feel so divine

Twenty five fingers wish you were mine

Wish you were mine



Well so our hands met and twenty fingers entwined

I couldn't help I couldn't help but see

She didn't quite believe me

She said listen cause there's one little thing

Where did you get that lovely wedding ring



Think it over think it over baby

Well think it over think it over baby



Some things are forbidden

Never meant to be

Well that might be all right for you

But not for you and me



Twenty five fingers feel so divine

Twenty five fingers wish you were mine

Wish you were mine

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Mannequin

He's the mannequin of your dreams

You designed him

Nothing will stand in your way

A punch in the heart

won't tear him apart

Neither will the things they say

Cos he's a beggar lover believer

You are just an innocent reader

He's the mannequin of your dreams

Step inside him

Look at the world his way

Laughter is loud

from the fool in the crowd

You'll crack his smile one day

Every dream must follow where we go

Don't let them shatter your ego

Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin

Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin

I gave you every bit of my time

You lied and you committed a crime

To present my feelings

With shallow meanings

How could you tear me apart?

He's the mannequin of your dreams

You denied him

Laughter and political sway

People are sweet

But the primitive beat

Is always getting in my way

I can give you nothing but me though

It isn't what you want to see oh

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - Wayfaring Stranger

(Robert DeCormier/Peter Yarrow/Noel Paul Stookey/Mary Travers)



I am a poor wayfaring stranger

I'm traveling through

This world of woe

And there's no sickness, no toil or danger

In that bright land

To which I go



I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a'going over Jordan

I'm just a'going over home



Now one of these mornings

And it won't be long

We all shall rise

And stand side by side

And hand in hand

We're bound for glory

And death shall fall before freedom's tide



I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a'going over Jordan

I'm just a'going over home



I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a'going over Jordan

I'm just a'going over home

HAWKWIND lyrics - Kapal

(Brock / Davey / Chadwick)



To be, or not to be - that is the question;

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them

Married with my uncle,

My father's brother: but no more like my father

Than I to Hercules. Within a month...

... She married. O, most wicked speed, to post

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!

It is not, nor it cannot come to good.

But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue

To be or not to be

That is the question

METALLICA lyrics - Carpe Diem Baby

(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)



Hit dirt

Shake tree

Split sky

Part sea



Strip smile

Lose cool

Bleed the day

And break the rule



Live, win

Dare, fail

Eat the dirt

And bite the nail



Then make me miss you

Then make me miss you



So wash your face away with dirt

It don't feel good until it hurts

So take this world and shake it

Come squeeze and suck the day

Come carpe diem, baby



Draw lead

Piss wine

Sink teeth

All mine



Stoke fire

Break neck

Suffer through this

Cheat on death



Hug the curve

Lose the time

Tear the map

And shoot the sign



Then make me miss you

Then make me miss you



So wash your face away with dirt

It don't feel good until it hurts

So take this world and shake it

Come squeeze and suck the day

Come carpe diem, baby



Live, win

Dare, fail

Eat dirt

Bite the nail



Strip smile

Lose cool

Bleed the day

And break the rule



Hug the curve

Lose the time

Tear the map

And shoot the sign



Then make me miss you

Then make me miss you



So wash your face away with dirt

It don't feel good until it hurts

So take this world and shake it

Come squeeze and suck the day



Come make me miss you

Come carpe diem, baby

Come carpe diem, baby

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Don't Fence Me In

Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

But don't fence me in

Let me ride through that wide open country that i love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but i ask you please

Don't fence me in



Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till i see the mountains rise



I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences



Gaze at the moon till i lose my senses

I don't like hobbles and i can't stand fences

Don't fence me in



[Instrumental break]



Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till i see the mountains rise



I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

Gaze at that ole moon until i lose my senses

I can't stand them hobbles and i don't care for fences

Don't fence me in



Oh no...don't you fence me in

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Out Of The Blue

My my, hey hey

Rock and roll is here to stay

It's better to burn out

Than to fade away

My my, hey hey.



Out of the blue

and into the black

They give you this,

but you pay for that

And once you're gone,

you can never come back

When you're out of the blue

and into the black.



The king is gone

but he's not forgotten

This is the story

of a Johnny Rotten

It's better to burn out

than it is to rust

The king is gone

but he's not forgotten.



Hey hey, my my

Rock and roll can never die

There's more to the picture

Than meets the eye.

Hey hey, my my.

RAINBOW lyrics - Stone Cold

(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)



Every night I have the same old dream

'bout you and me and what's in between

So many changes, so many lies

Try to run, try to hide

From everything that I feel inside

But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes...

Searching in the darkness

Fading out of sight

Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...

Stone Cold...

and I thought I knew you so well

Stone Cold

Can't break away from your spell



Another dark and empty night

If I was wrong I wanna make it right

But you are so distant, so far away

Your words like ice fall on the ground

Breaking the silence without a sound

Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say

Searching in the darkness

Fading out of sight

Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...

Stone Cold...

and I thought I knew you so well...

Stone Cold

Can't break away from your spell...

You leave me Stone Cold



Searching in the darkness

Fading out of sight

Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...

Stone Cold...

and I thought I knew you so well

Stone Cold

Can't break away from your spell

You're Stone Cold...yeah

I can't break away from your spell

Stone Cold...baby

I thought I knew you so well

You're stone cold...ice cold

Can't break away from your spell

(you put me in the deep freeze)

(oh baby don't you leave me)

(stone...cold, your leavin' me cold)

Stone Cold...I thought I knew you so well

Stone Cold...Can't break away from your spell

THE ERIC BURDON BAND lyrics - Stop

(Sterling/Kesterson/Haney)



Stop what you're doin', baby come a little closer to me.

Tell me all your troubles, tell me ev'rything;

I'll give you sympathy.



You're not supposed to say no,

But when you do,

I can't control myself (control myself)

You're not supposed to refuse;

My love for you will make you satisfied sleep,

Lord, Oh (come on, baby) (satisfied)



Stop feelin' sorry, don't you know

I'll give you anything you say.

(What I say)

Look inside my lonely room and tell me

Do you really dig my lonely ways.



You're not supposed...



Dream on, dream on, dream on...

Stop it, baby!



You're not supposed to say no but when you do,

I get upset inside.

You're not supposed to say no when do

I can't control (myself, myself, myself)

Hey! You better stop it, baby!

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Listen To The Lion

And all my love come down

All my love come tumblin' down

Oh, listen listen

And we sailed, and we sailed,

And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia



And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

All around the World

And we sailed..., and we sailed..., and we sailed...

Looking for a brand new start



And we sailed...

All around the World

Looking for a brand new start

Looking for a brand new start

Looking for a brand new start



And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

And we sailed...

Away from the Golden Gate

Way up to the New York City

KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Finer Feelings

The finer feelings, the finer feelings



You can't give to me

Anything

I couldn't get for myself

I have needs as much as any man

And I understand the feelings well



I can still have a true heart

With a free mind

A good life

With a good time



[Chorus:]

But what is love

Without the finer feelings

It's just sex

Without the sexual healing

Passion dies

Without some tender meanings

It ain't love

Without the finer feelings



I get passionate

Just like you

But I have a little self-control

You just show your selfish attitude

Your emotion leaves me cold



I can still have a true heart

With a free mind

A good life

With a good time



[Chorus]



The finer, the finer

The finer feelings



(I can still have a true heart) it ain't love

(With a free mind) it ain't love

(A good life)

(With a good time) feelings



[Chorus]



[Repeat and fade]

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - New Potato Caboose

Last leaf fallen bare earth where green was born,

Black Madonna two eagles hang against a cloud,

Sun comes up blood red wind yells among the stone,

All graceful instruments are known.



When the windows all are broken and your love's become a toothless crone,

When the voices of the storm sound like a crowd,

Winter morning breaks, you're all alone.



The eyes are blind, blue visions, all a seer can own,

And touching makes the flesh to cry out loud

This ground on which the seed of love is sown,

All graceful instruments are known.

MORRISSEY lyrics - Roy's Keen

(GO ON)

He's romancing you

and chancing his arm

He'll be here

Smiling on time

He's romancing you

and chancing his arm

He'll be here

Smiling on time

Roy's keen, oh Roy's keen

Roy's keen, oh Roy's keen

We've never seen a keener

Window cleaner

Back up the ladder

Into each corner

Dunking the chamois

Just think of the goodwill

The ladders are planets

Roy is a star, and

I am a satellite

But that's alright

He can hold a smile

For as long as you require

(Even longer)

He can hold a smile

For as long as you require

(Even longer)

Roy's keen oh, Roy's keen

Roy's keen oh, Roy's keen

We've never seen a keener

Window cleaner

Back up the ladder

Into each corner

Dunking the chamois

Just think of the goodwill

The ladders are planets

Roy is a star, and

I am a satellite

I will be set alight

Don't say you'll hold it steady

Then you let it go

Don't say you'll hold it steady

Then you let it go

You're up the ladder

Into each corner

Fraught in a bucket

We trust you to wreck it

Even when it's under your nose

Well, you just can't see it, can you?

Well, it's here

And you just can't see it, can you?

Roy's keen, Roy's keen

Roy's keen, Roy's keen

We've never seen a keener

Window cleaner

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - I Still Miss Someone

(Johnny Cash/Roy Cash Jr.)



At my door the leaves are falling

The cold wild wind will come

Sweethearts walk by together

And I still miss someone



I go out to wild the parties

And look for a little fun

But I find the darkened corner

'Cause I still miss someone



Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone



Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - The Face Of The Nation

As I run through this life

Sometimes it breaks my heart

Seein' old people goin' downtown

Stumblin' their way through the dark

And the little babies cry

For their mothers' warmth

Sometimes I feel so helpless

I don't know where to start



[Chorus:]

And the face of the nation

Keeps changin' and changin'

The face of th enation

I don't recognize it no more

The face of the neation

The face of the nation



So many lonely people

Damn those broken dreams

Oh yes it could be better

You can say that about anything

Some got it worse than me

Some got it worse than you

You see the people starvin' underneath the tree

And you wonder what happened to the golden rule



[Chorus]



You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin'

To put things right

If only for me and you

Cause the devil sleeps tonight



[Chorus]

THE DOORS lyrics - Been Down So Long

Well, I've been down so Goddamn long

That it looks like up to me

Well, I've been down so very damn long

That it looks like up to me

Yeah, why don't one you people

C'mon and set me free



I said, warden, warden, warden

Won't you break your lock and key

I said, warden, warden, warden

Won't ya break your lock and key

Yeah, come along here, mister

C'mon and let the poor boy be



Baby, baby, baby

Won't you get down on your knees

Baby, baby, baby

Won't you get down on your knees

C'mon little darlin'

C'mon and give your love to me, oh yeah



Well, I've been down so Goddamn long

That it looks like up to me

Well, I've been down so very damn long

That it looks like up to me

Yeah, why don't one you people

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon and set me free

DORO PESCH lyrics - Desperately

I might walk along the shadows

Where I find my soul awake as I sleep

Oh my god there's rain when you're gone

What we need in ourselves

We can't find in our dreams



[Chorus:]

There's a fire storm deep inside of me

Could it be my heart desperately

If the tears I cry bring you to your knees

Could you ever feel desperately



Now the dream I had is over

Somehow I know it wasn't me

Oh my god there was ice when you ran

What I need to believe is the reason of time



[Chorus]



Can't you listen

I hear a heartbeat

Or maybe thunder

When you're alone it all sounds the same



Have you ever been desperate

Have you ever been desperate

How I've been desperate

Have you ever been desperatey

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - I'll Be Home

I'll be home

I'll be home

When your nights are troubled

And you're all alone

When you're feeling down

And need some sympathy

There's no one else around

To keep you company

Remember baby, you can always count on me



I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home



I'll be home

I'll be home

Wherever you may wander

Wherever you may roam

You come back and I'll be waiting here for you

No one else will ever love you the way I do

I'll be here to comfort you

And see you through



I'll be home

I'll be home

I'll be home

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - I Started A Joke

I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying

Oh but I didn't see

That the joke was on me...oh no..

And I started to cry

Which started the whole world laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me



And I looked at the skies

Running my hands

Over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Cursing my head

For things that I've said

Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me



And I looked at the skies

Running my hands

Over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Cursing my head

For things that I've said



Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

That the joke was on me.........me.........

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Dangerous Veils

Desert candle in a tented space

throwing softer shadows on a covered face.

Sister, silent to the likes of me --

Pay my respects to her propriety.



Is this some crazy woman here,

dancing behind her thin black veil?

Am I misreading those mysterious eyes?

Duet impossible to harmonize.



I'm not inviting any stiff reaction.

I'm not one for naming holy names.

And I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.

Though you might hate me just the same.



Name of the Father ringing in her head --

Thinking over what the prophet said.

Words and tradition bind her in their spell.

Don't drink the water from this holy well.



I'm not inviting any fierce reaction

and I'm not one for naming holy names.

I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.

Though you might hate me just the same.



Desert candle in a tented space

Softer shadows on a covered face.

Sister, silent to the likes of me --

I tip my hat to her propriety.



I'm not inviting any fierce reaction

and I'm not one for naming holy names.

I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.

Though you might hate me just the same.

THE 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY lyrics - Simon Says

I'd like to play a game,

That is so much fun,

And it's not so very hard to do,

The name of the game is Simple Simon says,

And I would like for you to play it to,



Put your hands in the air,

Simple Simon says,

Shake them all about,

Simple Simon says,

Do it when Simon says,

Simple Simon says,

And you will never be out.



Simple Simon says,

Put your hands on your head,

Let your back bone stretch,

Simon says,



Simple simon says,

Put your hands on your head,

Let your back bone stiff,

Simon says,



Put your hands on your head,

Simple Simon says,

Bring them down by your side,

Simple Simon says,

Shake them to your left,

Simple Simon Says,

Now shake them to your right,



Put your hands on your head,

Simple Simon says,

Bring them down by your side,

Simple Simon says,

Shake them to your left,

Simple Simon Says,

Now shake them to your right,



Now that you have learnt,

To play this game with me,

You can see its not so hard to do,

Lets try it once again,

This time more carefully,

And I hope the winner will be you.



Clap your hands in the air,

Simple Simon says,

Do it double time,

Simple Simon says,

Slow it down like before,

Simple Simon says,

Ah, your looking fine.

Simple Simon says,

Now clap them high in the air,

Simple Simon says,

Do it double time,

Simple Simon says,

Slow it down like before,

Simple Simon says,

Ah, your looking fine.

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Lay Down

(Safka)



We were so close there was no room

We bled inside each other's wounds

We all caught the same disease

We all sang our songs of peace



Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown



Oh raise the candles high

'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light

Oh raise them high again

'cos if you do we can stand dry against the rain



Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown



We were so close there was no room

We bled inside each other's wounds

We all caught the same disease

We all sang our songs of peace

Some came to sing some came to pray

Some came to keep the night away



Oh raise the candles high

'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light

Oh raise them high again

'cos if you do we can stand dry against the rain



Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down, let it all down

Let your bright face smile up at the ones who stand and frown
