THE CARS lyrics - Maybe Baby
i heard stories about you
i'd like to think that they were true
i did not know you'd be like that
with those surprises under hat
be my maybe baby
when you dance between the stars
in the night late sweet and dark
turn them over one by one
you don't need to jump the gun
when the night is feeling flush
when the night is all a hush
electric look electic blue
keep one dream that won't come true
STEVE EARLE lyrics - The Week Of Living Dangerously
(Steve Earle)
I got out of work and I headed for the neighborhood beer joint
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always do
Well I didn't have nothin' to say anyway there ain't no point
There's just something 'bout a Monday that always makes me blue
Well it was well after dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin'
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right
Well I filled her up with gas, checked the oil at the Texaco station
I threw the car seat in the dumpster and headed off into the night
Woo-ohh-ooh-ooh-ooh
There's somethin' 'bout a Monday that always makes me blue
Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl
I hadn't never had her up past 55 before
Well somethin' 'bout that little red line always looked so final
Buddy you'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go
* Now, down in Mexico they've got a little place called Boystown
Where a man's still a man if you know what I'm talkin' about
Well, I walked into the Cadillac bar and I laid my cash down
I said "there's plenty more where that came from" and the lights went out
* (this verse is not included on the official lyrics sheet, but is included on the recording)
Well I woke up in a county jail 'cross the line in Laredo
With a headache and a deputy staring at me through the door
Well he said "Now how you got across that river alive, I don't know
But your wife just made your bail so now you're really dead for sure"
Now my wife, she called my boss and cried so I got my job back
And the boys down at the plant, they whisper and stare at me
Yea well my wife can find a lot of little jobs to keep me on the right track
Well, but that's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
Yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Wildwood Flower
[Originally by Carter Family]
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue
Oh I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay
All portion of love had all flown away
Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wond'ring no mis'ry can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell
Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower
ABBA lyrics - The King Has Lost His Crown
I believe
your new girl turned you down
and they say
she's pushin' you around
how does it feel
I guess it hurts your pride
tell me my friend
how many nights you've cried
Disaster and disgrace
the king has lost his crown
suddenly
he's clumsy like a clown
the world is upside down
the king has lost his crown
Was it hard
to step down from your throne
and to know
tonight you're all alone
oh what a shame
you really want that girl
she doesn't care
still you just dream of her
Disaster and disgrace
the king has lost his crown
suddenly
he's clumsy like a clown
the world is upside down
the king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
the word is all around
suddenly
he's clumsy like a clown
the world is upside down
the king has lost his crown
FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - I Wonder Why
It's hard
When a love goes wrong
Picking up the pieces to go on
Our dreams
Are scattered in the wind
I won't let it take me under
Even though you tried...and...
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
Why people lie, and break a heart in two
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
It's strange
Strange the way I feel
Time is all I need to make me heal
You're gone
And now I'm all alone (now you're all alone)
I'll reclaim the thunder
Dry the tears i'be cried...still...
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
Why people lie, and break a heart in two
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
Now I'm turning my back on confusion
I won't live in a world of illusion
Well the river stopped running through me
You did'nt see what you did to me
I've got to try to find, some kind of peace of mind
You're just a mystery to me
I'll reclaim the thunder
Dry the tears I've cried...still...
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
Why people lie, and break a heart in two
I wonder why
Things go the way they do
CHIC lyrics - I Want Your Love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
Do you feel like you ever want
To try my love and see how well it fits
Baby can't you see, when you look at me
I can't kick this feelin' when it hits
All alone in my bed at night
I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight
I think of you
And I dream of you all the time
What am I gonna do
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
Sometime, don't you feel like you
Never really had a love that's real
Well, here I am, and who's to say
A better love you won't find today
Just one chance and I will show you love
Like no other, two steps above
On your ladder
I'll be a peg
I want your loving
Please don't make me beg
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I need your love
I'll share my dreams
And make you see
How really bad your love I need
I want your love, I need your love
Just like the birds in the sky above
I'll share my dreams
And make you see
How really bad your love I need
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
I want your love, I want your love
UB40 lyrics - Food For Thought
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.
Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

D. J. JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE lyrics - You Saw My Blinker (Bitch)
This is a story I'll never forget
About the day my new car got hit
It caught me off guard cause it happened so quick
When I heard the crash I got mad as hell
Cruising down the highway fast not slow
Ninety miles an hour in my 5.0
People waving at me cause they know who I am
Alpine stero blasting a jam
Put the top down said my girlfriend
Then my damn hat blew off in the wind
I got kinda mad cause it's the hat I just bought
I shoulda put her out it was all her fault
Day was friday date was ten
My girl was looking good on a strem
She smacked my hand when I put it on her rear
Said hit me again and I'll break your wrist
That day I dressed all in white
Takin' my girl to Palm Springs for the night
I was hoping I could find a short cut
I was tired plus I had a rash on my butt
There was this lady in a pinto coup
'bout 90 years old I could tell by the droop
Driving off fast borderline insane
Glass so thick couldn't stay in her lane
I swerved left then I swerved right
She was still tailgating me too damn tight
To the left lane I tried to switch
Then you saw my blinker bitch
We both pulled off on the side of the road
I was hot ready to explode
The only thing stopping me from breaking her nose
Is I was 21 and she was 90 years old
Then the police came turn the lights off
The lady started cryin' and the cop got soft
The cop said ah it'll be ok
Wrinkled old bag lookin' like a charpe
I said wait what's going on cap'
Her car's fine my car is wrecked
Then I saw what happened in the crash
Her dentures came out her mouth and got stuck in the dash
You hit me I didn't hit you
Stop holding your neck lady you can't sue
It's your fault you caused all this
You saw my blinker bitch
Wednesday October the fourth
That's when we got our day in court
That lady destroyed my case
She came in a wheelchair and a neck brace
I jumped up I said you must be jokin'
Come on judge her neck ain't broken
Well I'll be damned
Wrinkled old bag started cryin' on the stand
The balif grabbed me slammed me on the ground
Judge said boy you'd better calm down
Aren't you one of them damn rap singers
Yeah then I gave him the finger
Judge held me in contempt of court
For givin' him the finger and things of that sort
Anything to say before you're dismissed
Just one you saw my blinker bitch

ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Wasteland
Some days I think it's all a dream
The things I've done, the places that I've been
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind
Could it be I'm not for real?
I've slapped my face to check out how I feel
There's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved
Come on Robert Johnson
Though we're worlds apart
You and I know what it's like
With the devil in our heart
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Kept a little of mine on hand
I'm wading out this muddy water
Been stranded in the Wasteland
Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dying and I'm far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on
BERLIN lyrics - Shiny
(Gisborne/ M. Sigman/ T. Nunn)
Beneath the silver sun
It's dark and life's begun
Thousands strong
Feel as one
Lights and sensurround
Move me, throw me down
Ten feet tall, beyond all walls
You're a dream and my world is spinning
Round and round out of control tonight
And I feel so alive
And I see all the people moving
Dancing through the corridors of light
And I feel so alive
I feel so alive
Alice in Wonderland
Reaches out her hand
Lasers beam
For you and me
Through my great divide
Our two worlds collide
We fall in love again
You're a dream and my world is spinning
Round and round out of control tonight
And I feel so alive
And I see all the people moving
Dancing through the corridors of light
And I feel so alive
I feel so alive
You're a dream and my world is spinning
Round and round out of control tonight
And I feel so alive
And I see all the people moving
Dancing through the corridors of light
And I feel so alive
I feel so alive

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - These Days In An Open Book
(Nanci Griffith)
Shut it down and call this road a day
And put this silence in my heart in a better place
I have traveled with your ghost now so many years
That I see you in the shadows
In hotel rooms and headlights
You're coming up beside me
Whether it's day or night
[Chorus:]
These days my life is an open book
Missing pages I cannot seem to find
These days your face
In my memory
Is in a folded hand of grace against these times
No one's ever come between your memory and me
I have driven this weary vessel here alone
Will you still find me if I leave you here beside this road
Cuz' I need someone who can touch me
Who'll put no one above me
Someone who needs me
Like the air he breathes
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I can't remember where this toll road goes
Maybe it's Fort Worth, maybe it's a heart of gold
The price of love is such a heavy toll
That I've lived my life in the backroads
With your love in my pocket
If I spend the love you gave me
Tell me where will it go?
[Chorus]
These days your face
In my memory
Is in a folded hand of grace
Folded hand of grace
Folded hand of grace
Against these times

STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Monster
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey
JAN AND DEAN lyrics - Surf City
Two girls for every boy
I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
You see they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, with two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy
J. J. CALE lyrics - Everything Will Be Alright
(J. J. Cale)
Same old hassle every night
All we do is fuss and fight
Ain't no use in talking, might as well start walking
Walking out into the night
You get your gun, I'll get mine
We can do it just one time
If we live no longer, it won't get no stronger
Then we'll know who's really right
All we do is weep and moan
Trying to build ourself a home
Ain't no shame in trying, ain't no use denying
Everything will be alright
THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - What Does It Mean?
You and me, we've lit our fuse
I don't care if we're born to lose
Going to infinity
Out all night, sun's too bright
Though i'm blind, it'll be all right
Going to infinity
What does it mean?
Infinity
You and me, we've lit our fuse
I don't care if we're born to lose
Going to infinity
Out all night, the sun's too bright
Though I'm blind, it'll be all right
Going to infinity
What does it mean?
Infinity
You and me know it ends too soon
But I know we've got a death wish too
Going to infinity
Out all night, we're burning away
I'm left tired and I sleep for days
Going to infinity
What does it mean?
Infinity
You and me know it ends too soon
But I know we've got a death wish too
Going to infinity
Out all night, we're burning away
I'm left tired and I sleep for days
We're going to infinity
What does it mean?
Infinity

U. D.O. lyrics - Tears Of A Clown
All his life he did his best for all
And the crown of laughter
Hanging low
The spotlight in the ring,
The choruses that sing
The paint and masquerade
Was just a show
The clown - the clown
Happiness around
Just a soul lonely in the crowd
The clown - the clown
His heart is all alone
No one wants the tears of a clown
The living of the glory and applause
The circus tent,
The only home he knows
The cover-up is bold,
The mask becoming cold
It's easier to let the eyelids close
The clown, ...
The final curtain falls for all to see
The final score, the circus melody
His star that shone so bright,
Gave comfort in the night
The light that always held him
Set him free
The clown, ...
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - Cold Rain
(Graham Nash)
[Intro. (Piano)]
Cold rain down on my face
Buses hurry on
Work's out here comes the race
People heading home
Wait a second, don't I know you?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You seem to be like someone I knew
Yes, he lived here but he left
When he thought that there was more
Than cold rain and nowhere to go
Many people share
Sad dreams and hopes that are stained
By the sulphur in the air
Don't I know you?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You seem to be like someone I knew
He lived here but he left
When he thought that there was more
Than cold rain out on the streets
I am all alone
With cold rain down on my face
I am heading home
JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - Mary Jane
Now when I go to work, I work all day,
Always turns out the same.
When I bring home my hard-earned pay
I spend my money all on Mary Jane.
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane.
Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature,
They all turn out the same.
'Cause they can't do nothing to make a man feel good
Like my old Mary Jane.
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane.
Now I walk in the street now lookin' for a friend
One that can lend me some change.
And he never questions my reason why,
'Cause he too loves Mary Jane.
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane.
Well, I have known women that wanted no man,
Some that wanted to stay.
But I never knew what happened in this world
Till I met up with Mary Jane,
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane.
Oh, when I'm feelin' lonesome and I'm feelin' blue,
There's only one way to change.
Now I walk down the street now lookin' for a man,
One that knows my Mary Jane,
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane.

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - In Our Lives
Well I'm a middle-aged teenager
I'm a man of angst and leisure
Doin' the best that I can do
My problems are incorrect
I've always got it around my neck
Hey I'm just like you
Yeah I've done some good and I've done some bad
But the most fun that I ever had
Was singing my songs for you
And if I should go astray
I'd get down on my knees and pray
Say God forgive me for what I do
Oh in our lives
There's no right way for us to live it
You know in our lives
There's a time to cry and a time to forget it
Well I'm a broke down humble man
Baby that's just who I am
And that's from me to you
Well I feel good here
Got about a million more years
To do what it is I gotta do
And if some day you happen to be passin' my way
Say hi, hello, how are you
Well, I'll return the gesture in kind
And hope that things are fine
And you all just do what you gotta do
Oh in our lives
There's no right way for us to live it
Oh in our lives
There's a time to cry and a time to get with it
You know in our lives there's no right way for us to live it.
Well I'm a broke down humble man
That's just who I am
And that's from me to you
Yeah I'm a broke down humble man
Yeah that's just who I am
And that's from me to you
Oh in our lives
You know in our lives
Yeah in our lives there's no right way for us to live it
IRON MAIDEN lyrics - When The Wild Wind Blows
Have you heard what they said on the news today?
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
Have you heard, have you heard?
He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
Does it matter they survive somehow?
They said there's nothing can be done about the situation
They said there's nothing you can do at all
To sit and wait around for something to occur
Did you know, did you know?
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows
Wonders if they'll ever grow again
The desperation of the situation getting graver
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
Have you seen what they said on the news today?
Have you heard what they said about us all?
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
Have you heard, have you heard?
There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen
There will be something that will light the sky
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
Did you know, did you know?
He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss
Getting ready when the moment comes
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Good to have because you never know
They tell us nothing that we don't already know about
They tell us nothing that is real at all
They only fill us with the stuff that they want
Did you know, did you know?
He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day
He's getting tired -- that'll do for now
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down
Upside down
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,
Saying grace
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind
Left behind
Of a lifetime spent together long ago
Will be gone
They've been preparing for some weeks now
For when the crucial moment comes
To take their refuge in the shelter
Let them prepare for what will come
They make a tea and sit there waiting
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Not long to wait for absolution
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait
Can't believe all the lying,
All the screams are denying
That the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the t. v.?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun
Say a prayer when it's all over
Survivors unite, all as one
Got to try and help each other
Got the will to overcome
I can't believe all the lying,
All the screens are denying
That the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the TV?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun
When they found them, [they] had their arms wrapped around each other
Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes
The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,
Just another when the wild wind blows...
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Miss Missy
There's a band playing down the street we could see, yeah
Movie showing down at the Von Lee
A church supper with Grandma and Grandad
Let's go out and have ourselves the best time we've ever had
Say goodnight, my Miss Missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, I might call you later
Oh Missy, girl, it's late, it's time to go home
Weight of the world's now on your head
I take back all those mean things I said
Little baby kicking down in your gut
I hope it doesn't grow up to be as crazy as us
Goodnight, oh my Miss Missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, I might, I just might, call you later
Oh Missy it's time to go home
So let's dance slow just one more time
Let me hold your face close to mine, yeah
Let's pretend that Jesus has come
To take us out just one more night for fun
Goodnight, oh my Miss Missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, I might call you later
Oh Missy, girl, it's time to go home
Goodnight, oh my Miss Missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, I might, I just might, call you later
Oh Missy it's time to go home

THE MONKEES lyrics - Early Morning Blues And Greens
(Diane Hilderbrand and Jack Keller)
A distant night bird mocks the sun.
I wake as I have always done,
To freshly scented sycamore
And cold bare feet on hardwood floor.
My steaming coffee warms ny face
I'm diappointed in the taste.
But there's a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things.
[Instrumental]
I feel the moments hurry on
It was today, it's died away,
And now it is forever gone.
And I will drink my coffee slow
And I will watch my shadow grow
And disappear in firelight
And sleep alone again tonight.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG lyrics - Hello, Dolly
Hello, Dolly, this is Louis, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You lookin' swell Dolly, I can tell Dolly
You still glowin', you still growin', you still goin' strong
I feel the room swayin', while the band's playin'
One of their old favourite songs from way back when
So, take a wrap fellas, find her an empty lap fellas
Dolly …. never go away again
I feel the room swayin', but the band's playin'
One of our old favourite songs from back when
So, golly gee fellas, have a little faith in me fellas
Dolly, never go away
Promise, you'll never go away
Dolly, never go away again

ROBERTA FLACK lyrics - Where Is The Love
Where is the love
(Where is the love)
Where is the love
(Where is the love)
Where is the love
(Where is the love)
Where is the love
Where is the love
You said you'd give to me
Soon as you were free
Will it ever be
Where is the love
You told me that you didn't love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie
Where is the love
You said was mine all mine
Till the end of time
Was it just a lie
Where is the love
If you had had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hangin on the promises
You've got to let me know
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait
(That's all I can do)
Yeah, hey, yeah
Where is the love
10CC lyrics - Waterfall
Gonna meet you on the corner
Gonna take you out of town
Out to where the grass is greener
And no one can be found
Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be
Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Crazy
(Willie Nelson)
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you
ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - Love, Hate, Love
I tried to love you I thought I could
I tried to own you I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste
You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell
Cheating myself still you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world
Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hand before I kill
I still love you, but, I still burn
Yeah, Love, hate, love [3x]
Oooh, Love, hate, love
Yeah, Love, hate, love
JEFF BECK lyrics - Get Workin'
Get get get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Got up early cannot be late
When the cock crowed I was wide awake
My mother stopped by just to say
All the children they are grown now I'm all alone
Mother I'd love to sit I'd like to talk with you
Till hell freezes over but my boss is on us
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
The foreman tells what to do
He really hates me says I've ruined his mood
I put a thumb tack in his shoe
Watched him hop around for a week
Like a bullfrog on a beach
I didn't antisapate he'd investagate
All the evidence points to me
Now that's the end of our being mates
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Get workin'
Work
Get workin'
Get workin' workin' workin'
Work work work
Get workin' workin' workin'

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - The Other Side Of This Life
(Neil)
Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
That's the other side of this life.
Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life
Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
But that's another side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side of this life
Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse
The ten cent life I've been leading here gonna be the death of me
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life
Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life.
SWEET lyrics - AC/DC
(Chinn/Chapman)
She got girls
Girls all over the world
She got men
Every now and then
But she can't make up her mind
On just how to fill her time
But the only way she can wind
Chorus
A. C. D. C.
She's got some other lover as well as me
A. C. D. C.
She's got some other women as well as me
She's got some other women as well as me
She's got phone
But they call her bump
She got sick
You wanna see her dingaling
Well let's be in it together
I'll guess she'll be in it forever
You've got to take it now and ever
Chorus
She got girls
Girls all over the world
She got men
Every now and then
But she can't make up her mind
On just how to fill her time
The only way she can unwind
Chorus
A. C. D. C.
She's got some other woman as well as me...
VINCE GILL lyrics - Love And Wealth
(Ira Louvin, Charlie Louvin)
Darling I am all alone in our little mountain home
It's lonely cold and loveless now inside
For your childish vows of love lasted only one short year
Then you went away to be another's bride
You will never know the pain
That I felt the day you left
Should you ever wed again
Let me wish you love and wealth
For that same old whippoorwill breaks the silence on the hill
As I stand and gaze upon it's faded wall
Where your picture used to hang in a little golden frame
And the vision of your smile I still recall
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Clown Service
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
[Chorus:]
Is that the clown service I'm callin'
I've made a fool of myself again
There's a hole in my pocket
A patch on my pants
My shoes let in water
I'm feeling you're here
Look up the smile service operator
I've got some frown lines that need to be read
I look in the mirror
I sigh all the time
The face that I see
I know it ain't mine
Ooh we lady
If I had my baby
I wouldn't be wastin' your time
Ooh we lady,
If I had my baby
I wouldn't be blockin', blockin' your line
Is that the love service
I'm callin' come on over mend my broken heart
Was it so silly, was Cupid so stupid
Or maybe it wasn't to be that way at all
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
I look in the mirror
I sigh all the time
The face that I see I know it ain't mine
Was it so silly, was Cupid so stupid
Or maybe it wasn't to be that way at all
TRAFFIC lyrics - Shanghai Noodle Factory
(Winwood/Capaldi/Wood)
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes

FOREIGNER lyrics - Rev On The Red Line
Two in a row, everybody knows
At the green light you rev it on the red line
Been waitin' all week to get my wheels on the street
Get my hands on the wheel, slide down in the seat
She's wearin' new colors and runnin' pretty good
I got four hundred horses tucked under the hood
But there's no need to panic, it's under control
We're aerodynamic and ready to roll
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Runnin' all night on Lake Avenue
It's a piece of cake
If you know what to do
You've got to lose a few
'Til the stakes get high
When the odds are right
You just blow by
And make no mistake, there's women who just wait
For the man and machine with the best time
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Feels like a lifetime
But soon you'll know
Wasn't long ago I could've lost my wheels
Had to outrun the law, it was no big deal
I guess they had a grudge, they were hot on my tracks
I had to pay off the judge to get my license back
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin' while I'm tearin' up the street
Rev on the red line
You're on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Rev on, rev on
Rev on, rev on
Don't think I'll ever learn to slow down
Rev on, you'll still be here and I'll be gone
Rev on, rev on
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Hey You
Hey you, you say you wanna change the world
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'til every song is set
You realize now
You should have tried now, ooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha la la la
Hey you, sha la la la
Woo! Sha la la
Woo! Sha la la
Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
It's my game, the music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't retrace
You realize now
You should have tried now, ooh ooh
The music's gone now, you'll find out
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha la la la
Hey you, sha la la la
Woo! Sha la la
Woo! Sha la la
You realize now, ooh
You could have tried now
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, hey you, sha la la la
Hey you, sha la la la
Woo! Sha la la
Woo! Sha la la
Sha la la la, hey you, hey you, hey you (Woo!)
Sha la la la, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby, it's true (Woo!)
Sha la la la, no time, no time left, no time (Woo!)
Sha la la la, don't let me down, don't let me down (Woo!)
Sha la la la, you gotta learn to take it easy, baby (Woo!)
Sha la la la, music's over, it's over (Woo!)
Sha la la la, too late, too late, too late (Woo!)
Sha la la la, I should have realised it a lot sooner than this (Woo!)
Sha la la la, hey you

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Ashes By Now
(Rodney Crowell)
This morning is Monday where are you now
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low
When I don't want to
Well love is elusive this I know now
It's making me crazy leaving me out
In the open when I don't want to
The moments of pleasures Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long gone and in a hurry
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
The second street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am They're just like I am
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
Just like a wild fire You're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I should be ashes by now

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Today I Started Loving You Again
(Merle Haggard/Bonnie Owens)
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - This Old Town
Living free is gaining on me
Can't keep ahead of my dreams
My relief turned out a thief
Smooth as rocks in the stream
This old time is a sad affair
You be glad you're not there
It ties your hands
It spikes your drink
I'd say more, but I can't think
Lazy Jim took a bottle with him
Tried to flag down a train
Left a note
Couldn't read what he wrote
A light came on in my brain
This old time is a sad affair
You be glad you're not there
It ties your hands
It spikes your drink
I'd say more, but I can't think
The hills are gold
Mornings are cold
Don't know a soul on the street
I keep to myself like everyone else
Nobody says much to me
Go to bed, fight thoughts in my head
In the two in between wake and sleep
Rats to kill, contracts to fill
It's on ice, but it won't keep
This old time is a sad affair
You be glad you're not there
It ties your hands
It spikes your drink
I'd say more, but I can't think
This old time is a sad affair
You be glad you're not there
It ties your hands
It spikes your drink
I'd say more, but I can't think

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Cadillac Ranch
Well, there she sits buddy justa gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch
Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
James Dean in that Mercury '49
Junior Johnson runnin' thru the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans-Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway just a big old dinosaur
Hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' alone through the Wisconsin night
You're my last love baby you're my last chance
Don't let 'em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Pulled up to my house today
Came and took my little girl away

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
You better not pout,
Better not cry,
Better be good,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He knows when you've been sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been good or bad,
So be good for goodness sake!
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
Better be good
He's checking you out
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He knows when you've been sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been good or bad,
So be good for goodness sake, oh!
You better not pout,
Better not cry,
Better be sweet,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
The big fat man is coming
The big fat man is coming
The big fat man is coming to town
JETHRO TULL lyrics - Queen And Country
The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late,
so we're sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait.
To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains ---
But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same.
For Queen and Country in the long dying day,
And it's been this way for five long years,
since we signed our souls away.
We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls ---
make presents to the government
so they can have their social whirl
With Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
They build schools and they build factories
With the spoils of battles won.
And we remain their pretty sailor boys ---
hold our heads up to the gun
Of Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
To Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
STING lyrics - The Snow It Melts The Soonest
(Trad; arranged by Sting)
Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in,
And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget,
Before we part I want to croon, she's fain to follow yet.
Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing,
And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is Spring,
But when Spring goes and Winter grows, my loss and you'll be fain,
For all your pride you'll follow my across the stormy main.
Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing,
The bee that flew when Summer shone, in Winter cannot sting,
I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
And it's surely not a harder thing to tame a woman's scorn.
Oh never say me farewell here, no farewell I'll receive,
For you shall take me to the stile, I'll kiss and take your leave,
But I'll stay here 'til the woodcock comes and the matler takes his wing
Since the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing.
T. REX lyrics - Knight
Night comes down just like a giant umbrella
Slows me down, got to get it together
Saxophone sage plays upon her doorstep
Evening's lies are dying all around him
Head of plumes and crimson ostrich feathers
8th Hussars' manners gush out of my bloodstream, my queen
Clad in drag of oriental beggar
Ju-ju beads holding me all together
KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Right Here, Right Now
My desire's getting stronger
I can't hold back any longer
Next to me you belong
Now I'm living for the moment
When you're gonna come on over to me
[Chorus:]
'Cos I want you to be
Right here right now
I believe
You were meant to be
Right here right now
Right here right now
I can't fight the situation
I'm giving in to
Your temptation
Every time I see your face
I need you more and more
When are you gonna come on over to me
[Chorus 2x]
'Cos I want you to be
Right here right now
'Cos I want you to be
Now I'm living for the moment
When you're gonna come over to me
[Chorus]
[Repeat and fade]
BEE GEES lyrics - Too Much Heaven
CHORUS:
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life..I can see beyond forever
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world.. a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Chorus..
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life..
I can see a new tomorrow
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our presious love
Chorus..
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Chorus..
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as wide as a river and harder to cross
Chorus..(repeat and fade)

JOHNNY PRESTON lyrics - Cradle Of Love
(Jack Fautheree and Wayne Gray)
Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, mmm
Well, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jumped over the candlestick
He jumped so high up above
He landed in the cradle of love
Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, mmm
Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
And on the way down she met a turtle dove
Said "Let's go rockin' in the cradle of love"
Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, mmm
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To get a pail of water
Jack fell for Jill, gave her a shove
They fell into the cradle of love
Well, rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
So rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, mmm
THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - What Happens To Me
Everyday I think about you
All the time crazy for you
Tell myself, again and again
'll be patient but then
I feel you deep in my heart
Sell my soul for just one part
Could it be ooh! That easy
After all you've said to me
You broke my confidence
Took it all. why wn'l you see
Makes no difference, to you it seems
What happens to me
Everyday I Wake without you
One more way to face - what is true
Life goes on, what else can I do
You're not here 'cause you don't need me
Never had to worry
Didn't need to care
Said you really loved me
But you're not there
Everyday when I think about you
Like a prayer to a child is new
In my thoughts you'll always be
The only one who could make me happy
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Which Describes How You're Feeling
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
Which describes how you're feeling all the
Feeling all the time
There's this guy in the sky and he makes you want to
Want to make you sigh, like the time
When you felt like you're feeling all the time
And you sighed at the cracks in the ceiling all the time
You said "I'm feeling fine" but it didn't really rhyme
It didn't rhyme, overseas
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
It describes how you're feeling
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
When you lie that your life's unappealing all the time
But your lie doesn't rhyme with the word overseas
Overseas there's this guy
Who describes how you're feeling all the time
In his mind he can find how you're feeling all the time
From behind distant lines
Even straighter than his spine
Which is fine
Which is fine
And describes how you're feeling all the time

DORO PESCH lyrics - Alive
All alone, and night is falling
All along, I hear you calling
Telling lies, and sad goodbyes
The secrets will be safe inside of me
As long as I'm alive
You'll always be a part of me
As long as I'm alive
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first me satisfy
I will keep this love alive
Oh let our hearts be the only guide we follow
Everybody knows, you can't build a wall around us
I believe, time will tell
Our hearts will stay forever locked together
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
Ahohoh I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first we satisfy
I will keep this love alive - ohohoh
Let our hearts be the only guide we follow
As long as I'm alive
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
Ohoh I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first we satisfy!
I will keep this love alive - ahahohohoh
Let our hearts be the only guide we follow
As long as I'm alive - yeah! (ahah)
Oh!
ROD STEWART lyrics - Taking A Chance On Love
(Vernon Duke, J. Latouche and T. Fetter)
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
[Instrumental break]
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love
STYX lyrics - Young Man
(James Young, Rick Young)
People say with age there comes experience
But answers seem more distant every day
The good news and the bad news come together
What politician played this trick you say?
Who can we get to win the fight?
A young man
Who can we get to make love all night?
A young man
Who do we send away to die?
A young man
I heard a lonely woman cry for
A young man
Ideologies mean very little
When in practicality they're quite the same
If God is love how can Her words be twisted
Into holy wars where men will kill and maim
Who can we get to win the fight?
A young man
Who can we get to make love all night?
A young man
Who do we send away to die?
A young man
I heard a lonely woman cry for
A young man
Come home my son, we'll give you a rest
Welcome my son, we'll give you the best
Time's stowaway, the young man
So short are the days, of the young man

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Freeways
Drivin' in a beat up car
The highway is long but we've come so far
Two thousand miles from home
We got to find someplace that we can belong
But, we know, the freeways in life are all pointing us home
Don't you know, nothing in this life could mean anymore
Freeways, freeways
Headin' out into the sun
We've been to the stars, and we've only begun
Nothin's gonna change our mind
There's songs to be sung, but we've left them behind

Cute couple [x2]
Simply cought up [x2]
Happy and then [x2]

DAVID GILMOUR lyrics - Blue Light
(Gilmour)
She's a blue light, yes it cannot be denied
She will give you back your pride
She squeezes, she freezes, she does what she pleases
But she says she thinks of others, all the time
You must rise to her defense when she's in danger
Turn around and you're looking at a stranger
And leads you into places even angels fear to tread
She's a blue light
She's not amused, when you're trying to upstage her
So you choose to do nothing to enrage her
'Cause under her mantle you feel safe from the cold
And you're safe from the danger of ever growing old
She's a blue light
I'm not very good with this funky sort of thing, But, uh,
Sometimes, when the inspiration strikes, I can get down
With the best of them.
LYLE LOVETT lyrics - Up In Indiana
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hair blond as hay and long as rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care but Heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Mama say a prayer for your only son
God, forgive him, all the wrong he's done
All he ever wanted is to have some fun
And now he's up in Indiana till his time is done
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hair blond as hay and long as rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
She looked over 22
A man could drown in eyes so blue
And now I've got some time to kill
In a little town called Henryville
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hair blond as hay and long as rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care but Heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Working on the line ain't the life I know
Wish I was floatin' on the river out at night [Incomprehensible]
Laying on the bank with a fishing bow
Instead of cutting this corn and losing my soul
I do a little thinkin bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care but Heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Miles and miles as they march back
They lift their ears up to the sky
Standing tall and satisfied
Like to try to run but I just might die
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
TESLA lyrics - Need Your Lovin'
(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch)
I'll be lovin' you come morning, day to day, dust to dawn
Feelin' you're the reason I won't be leavin' so
Love you in the evening, supper time and afternoon
Your days of happiness beside the month of June
Ooh, don't want my yesterday, to wake me up, slap me in the face
Ooh, don't let my yesterday, wrap you up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing
January, and in March, February, June
Any day beside of that couldn't be too soon
My life without you babe is a heart that's torn
Season of love for you, storm without a warn
Ooh, didn't want my yesterday, woke me right up, and slapped me in the face
Ooh, you let my yesterday, wrap you right up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing
Took all my yesterdays of sorrow, and threw them all away
Took all that I could take, or could borrow
'Cos today's yesterday, today is yesterday's tomorrow - whoa!
[Solo]
Ooh, go away my yesterday, can't take that much, I'll look it in the face
Ooh, wish all my yesterdays, would've packed it up and carried it away
Ooh I need your lovin', 'cos without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing - whoa!
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, it's your love or nothing
Ooh, all I've got to say it must be your love or nothing

YELLO lyrics - Friday Smile
Tip top, de vi de dee
It only works with you and me
Tip top, de vi de doo
It only works with me and you
I like to see you smiling
It's all, it's all I need on Friday night
I know you're gonna drive me
At the exact right speed into the light
Show me the way to drive
I'm on the highway of love to dive
Into the world above
We're gonna hit the star of love
I know you're gonna drive me
At the exact right speed into the light
Might be the way you're smiling
Your smile your smile so bright on Friday night
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Whenever We Wanted
We weren't afraid of nothing
Wasn't nothing we couldn't do
She held her breath once for seven minutes
And never turned blue
She could burn a woman down
If she felt she'd been unkind
or if she thought she was coming on to me
It drove her out of her mind
[Chorus:]
Oh yeah, it's true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We just did what we wanted
Whenever we wanted to
She was my very best friend
My biggest enemy
On judgment day we would go either way
It was all the same you see
She was not afraid of Satan
In fact she thought he was a joke
Said she'd tear off his tail
And run her fist down his throat
[Chorus]
She was the apple of temptation
The apple of my eye
Used to rest on a bed of burning coals
Every single night
And I know she's out there somewhere
She's wrestling in the bones
With confetti in her hair
You can bet she's not alone
[Chorus]
CAMEL lyrics - No Easy Answer
(Latimer)
No easy answers
come to me
that i can see
No easy answers
were close at hand
when i began
to ask the questions one by one
so all the loose ends stay undone
An easy answer
could help me out
relieve my doubt
Is there an answer
or will i be
never to see
the light that shines at jorney's end
or will i just go around again
You know it's always easy to say
you've gotta take it day by day
but sometimes it can be hard...
You know the answer's undefined
It's only ever in your mind.
THE EAGLES lyrics - Most Of Us Are Sad
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
Tell me scarlet sun
what will time allow?
We have brought our children
here Who can save them now?
Oh, Weeping woman try to smile
Like the coming dawn
Most of us are sad it's true
Still we must go on
Love was here today
Oh the sun was bright
I will sing you faraway
Love is here tonight
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Mountain Greenery
On the first of May, it is moving day,
Spring is here, so blow your job,
Throw your job away!
Now's the time to trust,
To your wanderlust,
In the city's dust you wait, must you wait
Just you wait.......!
In a mountain greenery,
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together.
While you love your lover,
Let blue skies, be your cover-let,
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather.
And if you're good,
I'll search for wood,
So you can cook... while I stand look-in'
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home!
Mosquitoes here,
Won't bite you dear,
I'll let them sting, me on the finger!
We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery
Then our mountain greenery home.

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Going Under
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing again
Let's go under where the sun beams
Let's go under my friend
Are we sleeping
Are we dreaming
Are we dancing again
Is it heaven
Crack it open
and we'll slide down
its stream
We can hold on (I'm sure)
To the sea's foaming mane
It will serve us
We'll surface
and we'll plunge back again
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
There's no burning where the sun beams
Oh it's such a lovely game
Does the sea dream (I'm sure)
We are here, we attend
We are bells on the shore
where the tolling suspends
Who will decide the shape of things
The shift of being
Who will perceive
When life is new
Shall we divide and become another
Who is due for gift upon gift
Who will decide
Shall we swim over and over
The curve of a wing
Its destination ever changing
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
Let's go waltzing on the water
Let's go under again
Let's go under
Going under
ENIGMA lyrics - Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!
X RAY Delta 1, this is Mission Control
Roger you are one nine - three zero
Things are changing
But nothing changes
And still there are changes
Le roi est mort, vive le roi!
BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Neon Knights
Oh no, here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again and again
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloodied angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever-bright
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights! all right!
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Again and again, again and again and again
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
All right!

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Going Up The Country
Gotta get goin', cause I can't stay here long, now.
Cause I'm tired of the way, I've been dogged around.
Well, I've got to roam, maybe find me a brand-new home.
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before.
I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Well, I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
You can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time.
[Solo]
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.
All this fussin' and fightin', man you know I sure can't stay.
Now baby, packin' up the truck you know I got to leave today.
Just exacly where I'm goin' I can not say, but we might even leave the USA.
It's a brand-new game and I don't wanna play.
[Solo]
No use of you running or screaming and crying
But you got a home man, long as I got mine.
Gotta get goin', gotta get goin', gotta get goin', gotta get goin'.
Gotta get goin', well I'm goin', well I'm goin'...
Gotta get goin', I can't stay here long now.
Cause I'm tired of the way I've been dogged around.
Well, I've got to roam, maybe find me a brand new home...
BRIAN WILSON lyrics - On A Holiday
A pirate with a tune on a holiday
A lazy Mr. Moon on a getaway
And isn't that a mood for a milky way
A ukelele lady around a lei
Rock, rock, roll
Rock, rock, roll Plymouth Rock, roll over
For a holiday
Abash and forth a starboard course
With north abeam, sherry of course
The men will share some sport and now me hearty
Not the rum of Carib' scum
It's port tonight - drink up and come
Un-weigh the anchor Yank and we will party!
A shanty town, a shanty in Waikiki
And juxtapose a man with a mystery
A blue Hawaiian captures his melody
Pauahi O Kalani is what he sings to me
Rock, rock, roll
Rock, rock, roll Plymouth Rock, roll over
For a holiday
Long, long ago, long ago
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
Whisperin' wind sent my wind chimes a-tinklin'
THE BEATLES lyrics - And Your Bird Can Sing
(Lennon/McCartney)
You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me
You say you've seen Seven Wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me
When your prized possessions start to wear you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round
When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round
You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swim
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - What About Today?
The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now
I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away
What about yes What about today?
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine some day
And when it does the weather will be fine someday
And while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay the same shade of gray
What about yes what about today?
'Till Nirvana comes What about today?
'Till Messiah comes what about today?
'Till the mountains move and oceans part
And angels sing and life can start
What about yes what about today?
I can't help wondering if tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for if it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today...what about today?
'Till nirvana comes What about today
'Till messiah comes what about today
'Till the mountains move and oceans part
And Angels sing and life can start
What about yes what about today?
I can't help wondering if tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for if it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about yes what about........
Today?

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Soft-Hearted Hana
I ate it and at once my eyes could see you
No sooner had I ooped it down
I felt so far off from the ground I stood on.
My legs they seemed to me like high-rise buildings
My head was high up in the sky
My skin the sun began to fry like bacon.
And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far. . .
And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala. . .
I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard
There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III
And I'm still smiling
Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools. . .
Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules. . .
You'd better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row. . .
If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now. . .
And I'm still smiling.
I fell in love with my Soft-Hearted Hana
She entered right in through my heart
And now although we're miles apart
I still feel her.
She lives beneath the crater in the meadow
She moves among the fruit and grain
You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen.

TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - She Cried
Solitaire, such a fateful game
She turns her cards and writes her name on the napkin
Mow she turns another card
She dreams about the house and romance
He promised but won't deliver
She waits alone
With dried out hopes
And dormant phone
She waits for years
And fantasies melt
New ones appear
But they won't help
And again she catches him
Eye pulls away with light too dim
She calls his name and runs around
But he was faster
All alone in a bad part of town
She waits again
With dried out hopes
And things made for him
A little ride, a little fun was all
He held her tight, got tired and then let go
The strain on her heart
She believed a lying blackheart
Painted with promises
Then he left her on the floor
With only the mirror to curse
"Should've known better"
But how she cried...
SPINAL TAP lyrics - The Majesty Of Rock
There's a pulse in the new-born sun
A beat in the heat of noon
There's a song as the day grows long
And a tempo in the tides of the moon
It's all around us and it's everywhere
And it's deeper than royal blue
And it feels so real you can feel the feeling
And that's the majesty of rock
The fantasy of roll
The ticking of the clock
The wailing of the soul
The prisoner in the dock
The digger in the hole
We're in this together and ever
In the shade of a jungle glade
Or the rush of the crushing street
On the plain, on the foamy main
You can never escape from the beat
It's in the mud and it's in your blood
And it's conquest is complete
And all that you can do is just surrender
To the majesty of rock
The pageantry of roll
The crowing of the cock
The running of the foal
The shepherd with his flock
The miner with his coal
We're in this together and ever
When we die, do we hunt the sky?
Do we lurk in the murk of the seas?
What then? Are we born again?
Just to sit asking questions like these?
I know, for I told me so
And I'm sure each of you quite agrees
The more it stays the same, the less it changes
And that's the majesty of rock
The mystery of roll
The darning of the sock
The scoring of the goal
The farmer takes a wife
The barber takes a pole
We're in this together and ever

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Street Boogie
Street guys, walking, dancing
Sidewalk, music, hot thing
They got their boxes tuned into their favorite show
As they truck on down the road
Is that the radio
Yes that's the radio
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Street boogie got a hold on me
Street boogie gonna set me free
Street boogie keep a hold on me
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright with me
Street boogie, it's the city beat
Street boogie, on the boogie street
Street boogie, yeah and that's for me
Street boogie, street boogie, street boogie, street boogie
Traffic, skater, rolling
Sharing, music, sure thing
He got his shoulder holster turned a way up loud
As he wheels his way around
Is that the radio
Yes that's the radio
Catch the sound, catch the sound, catch the sound
Boogie, street boogie
Boogie, street boogie
QUEEN lyrics - Don't Try So Hard
(Queen)
If you're searching out for something -
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing -
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave them for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble -
It won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble -
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Don't try so hard
Oooh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard
One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try
To stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
Is this the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - Full Circle
(Loreena McKennitt)
Stars were falling deep in the darkness
As prayers rose softly, petals at dawn
And as I listened, your voice seemed so clear
So calmly you were calling your god
Somewhere the sun rose, o'er dunes in the desert
Such was the stillness, I ne'er felt before
Was this the question, pulling, pulling, pulling you
In your heart, in your soul, did you find rest there?
Elsewhere a snowfall, the first in the winter
Covered the ground as the bells filled the air
You in your robes sang, calling, calling, calling him
In your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Southwind
(Pedersen)
The wheels go down, I'm back in town, three months full of summer and nothing to do.
It's been a strain at the reins but the picture remains,
southwind's blowing my love to you, southwind's blowing my love.
For sixty-one days I got caught in the maze, twenty thousand watching the songs go by.
The lights come down in an East Texas town,
southwind's blowing my love to you, southwind's blowing my love.
I couldn't wait until, till I got back home to you.
Or to get my fill of these California summer nights.
It's good to be home, my, how the children have grown.
Screen door's barking out that old familiar tune.
Games at the park, but honey, wait until dark,
southwind's blowing my love to you, southwind's blowing my love.
I couldn't wait until, till I got back home to you.
Or to get my fill of these California summer nights.
The wheels go down, I'm back in town, three months full of summer and nothing to do.
It's been a strain at the reins but the picture remains,
southwind's blowing my love to you, southwind's blowing my love.
southwind's blowing my love to you, southwind's blowing my love.
All my love, yeah, all of my love to you. All my love to you, yeah.
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Oh! What It Seemed To Be
(B. Benjamin, G. D. Weiss, F. Carle)
[Recorded April 30, 1963, Los Angeles]
It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to me
MOODY BLUES lyrics - Tortoise And The Hare
You know he's moving fast,
Be he's still going slow,
He's ahead in the race,
And there is not far to go,
And your load is so heavy
And your legs want to rest.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
You think he's way up in front
But he's so far behind.
He's asleep in the grass,
And he's run out of time.
While your load was so heavy
You never wanted to stop.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while
And while you were sleeping
He went on keeping the final line in his mind.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while
And while you were sleeping
He went on keeping the final line in his mind.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Delivering The Goods
(Tipton/Downing/Halford)
Feeling like we're, ready to kick tonight
No hesitating, my bodies aching
Looking for some action, satisfaction all right
Charging, vein faced, as active as one-hundred solid proof
Mega town, Leviathan, we're ready to hit the roof
You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Uhhh, Delivering the goods
Uhhh, Delivering the goods
Shake down, rock 'em boys, crack that whip strap mean
Pulse rave, air waves, battle lies in every place we've been
Stealing your hearts all across the land
Hot blood doing good, we're going to load you with our brand
You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Uhhh, Delivering the goods
Yeah, Delivering the goods
Have your way
Stealing your hearts
Well we don't pull no punches, we aim where the crunch is
The bound to do most damage to your brain
If you're looking for it mellow
you're nothing more than yellow
Gonna do it again and again
We'll beat you to submission
So you might as well surrender
You do gotta learn your lesson
'Cause there ain't nobody here to defend your heart
Faster, higher
'Til it seems that we're gonna break
Ohh shootin' further, giving more than you're ever gonna take
Weaving with your heads
Crushed out on the floor
Begging for mercy
Be careful or we'll do it some more
You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Uhhh, Delivering the goods
Uhhh, Delivering the goods

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Human Touch
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin'
But I got a deal for you right here
I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity
I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight
Tell me in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much?
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes with a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin' the love that remains
We're all riders on this train
So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a litte paint...
You might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers they don't amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch...
