EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - Wait

(Maurice White, David Foster & Allee Willis)



I've been waiting so long,

Just watching the phone, for you.

To wait, it takes,

Love that's for real

And all, that I feel, inside to do.



I come prepared, to look in your eyes

And walk side by side,

With you-baby, baby.



Listen for tender words, I'd like to say

Like I love you today, and I'll wait

For you.



[Chorus]

It's crazy, if you think, we're just friends.

Loving when, infatuation ends.

The wait for you, baby it now begins.



You sigh, when I come close to your heart.

You cry, from the start,

Please wait for me.

Your mind, shows, places you go,

And things you don't know.

Someday you'll grow.



Climbing a moutain high,

Your love I desire.

Inside my heart cries for you.



[Chorus]



Baby, we're more, than friends-

I know, the wait will end

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Acres Wild

I'll make love to you

in all good places

under black mountains

in open spaces.

By deep brown rivers

that slither darkly

through far marches

where the blue hare races.



Come with me to the Winged Isle ---

northern father's western child.

Where the dance of ages is playing still

through far marches of acres wild.



I'll make love to you

in narrow side streets

with shuttered windows,

crumbling chimneys.



Come with me to the weary town ---

discos silent under tiles

that slide from roof-tops, scatter softly

on concrete marches of acres wild.



By red bricks pointed

with cement fingers

Flaking damply from sagging shoulders.



Come with me to the Winged Isle ---

northern father's western child.

Where the dance of ages is playing still

through far marches of acres wild.

ROXETTE lyrics - Crash! Boom! Bang!

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble

"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!".



I've learned that nothing really lasts forever

I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal

They won't heal.



Cos every time I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.



I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere

I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.



My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow

But I always did, and Lord, I still do

I'm still breaking the rules

I kick it up

I kick it down.



Cos every time I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's my real middle-name

It has always been the same

That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.



I still feel the heat

Slowly fallin' from the sky

And the taste of the kissing

Shattered by rain

Comin' tumblin' from behind

And the wild holy war.



I kick it up

I kick it down



And every time I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the roses dying on the floor

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same

That's my real middle-name

It has always been the same.



Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh

Been the same, been the same

It has always been the same.

R. E.M. lyrics - Summer Turns To High

Mercury is rising still

Turn the fan on high



I won't step on my own shadow

No-one wants to cry



Someone put a pox on me

I spit in their eyes

Summer turns to high



Lift my bed sheet keep in sandles

Circle search and there are candles

Summer's here but night is raising hopes and dragonflies



If those hopes are overshadowed by cotton-candy, caramel-wafer



Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer high



After wine and nectarines the fireflies in turn

Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet reign



I won't fight for can't happen

I'm preoccupied



Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer high

KING CRIMSON lyrics - People

(music by King Crimson, words by Adrian Belew)



people fly people flee

people clam and say "it wasn't me"

people fish people beef

people arm to teeth

yes, you've got people on the tube

walking on the moon

people at the bottom of the sea

people in tombs

people in igloos

even a tribe of pygmies



people are the main spring

turning the world around

people, they're the main spring

spinning this world upside down



people sun people toast

people tire shile other people smoke

people bowl people rock

people pay to see two people box



watch me face me

dress me baby me

phone me wire me

house me bug me fire me



people are the main spring

spinning the world around

people, they're the main spring

turning this world inside out

STRAY CATS lyrics - I Wanna Cry

I'm hearing big things

Inside of my head

Dreaming crazy demons

Better stay dead

Thinking downtown

But down on my bones

Walking crazy corners

No-one ever phones



I wanna cry

Please tell me now

I wanna cry

Please tell me how

I wanna cry

Please tell me now



Dreaming of stairs

Got to find soul

Talking made you come back

Thought I never

Feel a big things

Inside of myself

Riding wild horses

Got to find some help



I wanna cry

Please tell me now

I wanna cry

Please tell me how

I wanna cry

Please tell me now



I wanna cry

Please tell me now

I wanna cry

Please tell me how

I wanna cry

Please tell me now



I'm hearing big things

Inside of my head

Dreaming crazy demons

Better stay dead

Thinking downtown

But down on my bones

Walking crazy corners

No-one ever phones



I wanna cry

Please tell me now

I wanna cry

Please tell me how

I wanna cry

Please tell me now

Let me bust my milk on your back, watch you start illing

You know she's willing, cos' honey's a Star Trekker

Clothes coming off like jewels in front of Mecca

Handcraft the cake till it's baked just right

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

(Joni Mitchell/Charles Mingus)



When Charlie speaks of Lester

You know someone great has gone

The sweetest swinging music man

Had a Porkie Pig hat on

A bright star

In a dark age

When the bandstands had a thousand ways

Of refusing a black man admission

Black musician

In those days they put him in an

Underdog position

Cellars and chittlins'



When Lester took him a wife

Arm and arm went black and white

And some saw red

And drove them from their hotel bed

Love is never easy

It's short of the hope we have for happiness

Bright and sweet

Love is never easy street!

Now we are black and white

Embracing out in the lunatic New York night

It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town

Or be hung in a tree

That's unlikely!



Tonight these crowds

Are happy and loud

Children are up dancing in the streets

In the sticky middle of the night

Summer serenade

Of taxi horns and fun arcades

Where right or wrong

Under neon

Every feeling goes on!

For you and me

The sidewalk is a history book

And a circus

Dangerous clowns

Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions

They have been handed

Day by day

Generations on down



We came up from the subway

On the music midnight makes

To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone

In taxi horns and brakes

Now Charlie's down in Mexico

With the healers

So the sidewalk leads us with music

To two little dancers

Dancing outside a black bar

There's a sign up on the awning

It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"

And there's black babies dancing...

Tonight!

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Call Me, Tell Me

Call me, tell me we should meet tomorrow

I can't see things quite your way

But I think that I could show you

Things that lye below your thoughts and words

And your gardens and your stained glass day



Times you come to me and said you don't know why.

I think that there might be something wrong

You could change your thoughts before I go

But then you'd know that you were right where I wanted you

And you didn't know



You were meant to worship and accuse (chose)

Anything you want but now it looks like you will lose

All the things you needed when you were the one

Can't be found you know they've just begun

To crumble all around you

And you see them tumble down without a thought or care for you

Oh what you do

J. J. CALE lyrics - Heads In Georgia

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet are California bound

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound

Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns



Well we ride them old freight trains rent them automobiles

For we ride them old freight trains and rent them automobiles

Cause that good looking woman is tired of these old Georgia hills



And that lonesome old highway seems to be our way no doubt

And that lonesome old highway seems to be the way no doubt

Cause that good looking woman and me, we just hanging out



Trains and airplanes is all we do, I'm running half the time just like she wants me to

Makes me no difference to me when all is said and done, headed west toward the setting sun



Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound

Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns



Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound

Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound

Cause that good looking I got wants to leave these Georgia towns



Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

Good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Too Far Gone

We never have a kind word for each other angry words are all we speak

The home where we once lived and loved now echoes with the angry words we speak

Too selfish and too proud to admit it when we know that we are wrong

Now it's too late to rebuild the home we're tearing down it's too far gone



Two people just existing always talking never listening

Too busy pointin' out each other's fault to see our own

Because we didn't try our love just slowly died

Too late to be revived it's too far gone

(Too far gone too far gone too far gone)



We're too busy thinking of ourselves to think about each other's needs

We seldom have a moment for each other we share little that we need

We can't get along even long enough to try to change what's wrong

Now it's too late for you and me zhere's nothing we can do we're too far gone



Two people just existing...

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Tonight And Forever

(Simon/Schwatrz)



I've waited years

For you tonight

My faith in love has been my guiding light

I heard you voice

I read your heart

I fell in love with you though we were miles apart



tonight and forever

Tonight and forever I am yours



O sister make

My wedding bed

Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches

At the head

And scatter roses on the floor

Three bright stars shining at our door



Tonight and forever

Tonight and forever

Tonight and forever, I am yours



And a song on the wind

Rising from the sea



A fire so cold

A flame so new

No, I could never ask for more than you

The moon is high

The tide is in

Now the night is ours

Let the dance begin



Tonight and forever

Tonight and forever, I am yours

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Hearts For Sale

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



My spirit is winging

My soul is free

I'm doing my drinking

In good company

The music's screaming

My feet are flying

Everybody's laughing

And nobody's crying

Sneak suspicion

It drags me down

A nagging feeling

Going round

Hearts for sale

Going cheap

Hearts for sale

Lovers' leap

My belly's full

My glass is brimming

The women look so beautiful

And I feel like singing

The voice of conscience

The voice of reason

Is yacking in my plans

I call that treason

Hearts for sale

Going cheap

Hearts for sale

Blood runs deep

I'm losing my willpower

My blood's running cold

My body's on pause

My mind's stuck on hold

There ain't nothing I can do about it

Sneak suspicion

It drags me down

Nagging feeling

Going round

Hearts for sale

Going cheap

Hearts for sale

Blood runs deep

Hearts for sale

I don't need a doctor

I need a deputation

You don't want my loving

You can just take my resignation

I'm under the hammer

I'm a full time worker

I'm a real body slammer

U2 lyrics - Hallelujah (Here She Comes)

I see you're dressed to kill

I know I can't wait until

Hallelujah...here she comes



I see you're dressed in black

I guess I'm not coming back

Hallelujah...here she comes



Born and raised

On the wrong side of town

You get so high

That you can't come down

(Yeah)



I see the road is rough

You know I'm not giving up

Hallelujah...here she comes



I know where the lady goes

I know she got a ring on her toes

Hallelujah...here she comes



Born and raised

On the wrong side of town

You get so high

That you can't come down



I'm going higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher

I'm gonna be there

When that light's gonna shine

I'm gonna be there

When her heart kindles next to mine

I'm gonna be...

Here she comes

Yeah here she comes



I see you're dressed to kill

I know I can't wait until

Hallelujah...here she comes



I see you're dressed in black

I guess I'm not coming back

Hallelujah...here she comes



Born and raised

In the wrong side of town

You get so high

You can't come down



I'm gonna be there

Higher, higher, higher

Gonna get higher, higher, higher

Gonna get higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher...



I'm gonna be there

When that light's gonna shine

I'm gonna be there

When that light's gonna shine...



Hallelujah...here she comes

Here she comes...

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - It May Be The Water

I look at all the things I put you through

I've often wondered how it bothered you

I know how close I came to losing you

But we managed to stay alive

I guess only the strong survive

I just gotta tell you baby



Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong



I took for granted that you'd always be there

I know it seemed at times I didn't care

I didn't know what you had given me

But with love it takes some time

But through the joy and pain, you're mine

I just gotta tell you baby



Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong



It may be the water

That keeps us strong

You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby

That it all turned out this way, 'cause you know that

It almost slipped away, oh baby

But we managed to stay alive

I guess only the strong survive

I just gotta tell you baby



Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong



You know that I'm so glad to say, oh baby

That it all turned out this way, cause you know that

It almost slipped away, oh baby

But we managed to stay alive

I guess we found that only the strong survive

So I just had to tell you baby



Sometimes love can be so cruel

Sometimes we learn 'bout being a fool

I don't know why, girl, we've lasted so long

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

It may be the water

That keeps us strong

DEPECHE MODE lyrics - My Secret Garden

My secret garden's not so secret anymore

Run from the house holding my head in my hands

Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel

It all seems so absurd

That this should have occurred

My very only secret

And I had to go and leak it!

My secret garden's not so secret anymore!



No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore!

Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water

Can't stay long, here comes the reason why -

She'll catch me if she can,

Take me by the hand

I'll have to keep on running

And I just can't see the fun in

My secret garden not being secret anymore!



It used to be so easy

On days such as these she'd

Search and search for hours

In among the flowers

I loved it! - I loved her!

Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it!

Read her book, take a look - I loved her!



It all seems so absurd

That this should have occurred

My very only secret

And I had to go and leak it!

My secret garden's not so secret anymore!

ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - I Cry For You (Love Hope And Confusion)

(Roger Tailor)



I cry

I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you

Love me

Tender

Love me

True

Love can always

See you through

I hope you're fine

I hope all's well

Given time

Hope springs eternal

Who finds conclusions

With love hope and confusion



I cry

I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you



Life

Has no fun anymore

Time

Is on the run for sure

No place to run anymore

Love hope and confusion

I hope you're fine

I hope all's well

Give 'em hell

Hope springs eternal

Who finds conclusions

With love hope and confusion



I cry

I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you



I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you



I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you



I cry for you

I cry for you

I cry for you

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - Sweet Inspiration

(Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham)



I need your sweet inspiration

I need you here on my mind

Every hour of the day

Without your sweet inspiration

The lonely hours of the night

Just don't go my way



A woman in love

Needs sweet inspiration

Yeah, and honey that's all I ask,

That's all I ask from you

I've gotta have your sweet inspiration

You know there just ain't no tellin'

What a satisfied woman might do



The way you call me baby, baby

Is such a sweet inspiration

The way you call me darlin', darlin'

Sets my heart to skating

And if I'm out in the rain, baby

And in a bad situation

You know I just reach back in my mind

And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration



Sweet inspiration

Oh what a power

And I've got the power

Every hour of the day

I need your sweet inspiration

To go on, to go on living

To keep on giving this way



I need your sweet inspiration

Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration

Sweet, sweet inspiration

Sweet, sweet inspiration

I need, sweet inspiration

METALLICA lyrics - Escape

(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)



Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy

I know I'm my best friend

No one cares, but I'm so much stronger

I'll fight until the end

To escape from the true false world

Undamaged destiny

Can't get caught in the endless circle

Ring of stupidity



Out of my own, out to be free

One with my mind, they just can't see

No need to hear things that they say

Life is for my own to live my own way



Rape my mind and destroy my feelings

Don't tell my what to do

I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side

And I can see through you

Feed my brain with your so called standards

Who says that I ain't right

Break away from your common fashion

See through your blurry sight



Out of my own, out to be free

One with my mind, they just can't see

No need to hear things that they say

Life is for my own to live my own way



See they try to bring the hammer down

No damn chains can hold me to the ground

Life is for my own to live my own way

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Don't Drive Drunk

He and his wife have had problems

That he's played off like nothing's wrong

'Til he comes home from work early

Just to find the girl is gone

Oh but he gets into the cupboard

Picks out that bottle of gin

Drinks like there's no tomorrow

And decides to take a spin



No don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk, no

Don't drive drunk

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad



Teenager at a live party

Says, "give me one for the road"

But he's already so inebriated

If you lit a smoke he'd explode

But bartender says, "I don't think so"

Young one says, "I can deal"

Staggering out he says, "check you all later"

But I really don't think he will



No don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk, no

Don't drive drunk

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers are mad

[Repeat]



[Background]

Don't drive drunk

d-d-d don't drive drunk

Don't drive drunk

Hicup

[repeat]



Boy out with girl on their first date

Gets pulled over by the law

Officer says, "hey can't you drive straight

Or have you been drinking alcohol?"

Boy says, "man are you crazy?"

Cop says, "hey then walk this line"

But results from the breathalizer

Proves he's charged with D. U.I.



No don't drive drunk

UFO lyrics - You And Me

Baby you know that there's no choice

I'm tired of hearing my own voice

We can't live on love alone

To find some work I'll have to leave our home

And I know that things look desperate now

But stand by me we'll get through somehow



(1) Ooh when you touch me it all fades away

Ooh when you hold me I'll make it through another day



Winter's here and it's looking bleak

The snow is falling as we speak

And can we cut back a little more

Something will turn up I'm really sure

So please darlin' keep your faith in me

I'll make it good you wait and see



(1) Repeat



It's so special, oh so special

'Cos there's always you and me

And we stand alone with our love

So strong, bold and free

It's so special, oh so special

You can't take that away

There's a bond that holds us together

It'll always stay



[INSTRUMENTAL]



Though I'm getting stronger every day

Situations change, I hope and pray

I'm not a man who's afraid to fight

With you beside me I'll see the light

We'll be together, I'm sure it's meant to be

A friend and lover my only loyalty



If nothing else, it's you and me.

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - When Love Kills Love

(Music: Rudolf Schenker; Lyrics: Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker)



When love kills love



Suddenly I think I always knew

I had my share of mistakes

Made quite a few

Finally I know and that's for sure

I don't look back in anger anymore



Suddenly the sun comes up again

There's a new beginning

When we pass the end

Finally I know and that's for sure

I don't look back in anger anymore



When love kills love

Will someone rescue me

When love kills love

It's cutting through so deep



Suddenly I wake up from the dream

Someone tells me

I've been talking in the sleep

Finally I know and that's for sure

I don't believe in daydreams anymore



When love kills love

Will someone rescue me

When love kills love

It's cutting through so deep

Well life goes 'round

And upside down

It's pretty mad



When love kills love

Will someone set me free

When love kills love

It's cutting through so deep

How can we choose

When all we lose

Is all we have



We run away

From all the pain

We run away

From all the pain



When love kills love

Will someone rescue me

When love kills love

It's cutting through so deep



When love kills love

When love kills love

When love kills love

When love kills love

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Miss Lonely Hearts

Miss Lonely Hearts, please lend a hand

My one and only love is with another man

Can you tell me why my baby said goodbye?

She didn't even try

Miss Lonely Hearts



Miss Lonely Hearts, What can I do?

Oh how it hurts to know

The one you love's untrue

Will you hear my plea? Oh what can it be?

Why can't we both agree

Miss Lonely Hearts



You've helped so many find their way

Just give the word and I'll obey



Miss Lonely Hearts, what can I do?

Oh how it hurts to know

The one you love's untrue

Will you hear my plea? Oh what can it be?

Why can't we both agree

Miss Lonely Hearts

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Up A Lazy River

(H. Carmichael, S. Arodin)



Up a lazy river by the old mill run

Lazy river in the noon day sun

Linger awhile in the shade of a tree

Throw away your troubles,

Dream with me.

Up a lazy river where the robin's song

Wakes the mornin'

We'll roll along

May be blue skies 'bove

Everyone's in love

Up a lazy river

How happy we'll be

Up a lazy river with me

Up a lazy river by the old mill run

That lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun

You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree

Throw away your troubles, baby

Dream a dream of me.

Up a lazy river where the robin's song

Wakes a brand new mornin'

Where we can roll along

There may be blue skies up above

But as long as we're in love

Yeah, we'll be up a lazy river

How happy we could be

Up a lazy river with me.

Oh, that half way mark, yeah.

Up a lazy river where that robin's song

Awakes a brand new mornin'

We can roll along

There are blue skies up above

And as long as we're in love

We'll be up a lazy river

Up a crazy, lazy, river

Up a lazy river

I ain't goin' your way, get out of my way

Up a lazy river with me.

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Twist / Run / Repulsion

Switch the light on

We can think it's dawn

Oh push along

Push along

Play a long song

I'm laughing at marine

Marine laughs back

Don't like those boys

Toy soldier boys

I'm lying in bed

You can play me fear

You can play me fear

Only rhythm I hear

You cut me up

With joys of life

I'm going somewhere

I'm going someplace

If caution is life

Then caution is sin

Contort contort contort

I'll win

These walls that close

Close in on me

Seductress shout

Seductress scream

Switch the light on

We can think it's dawn

Oh push along

Push along

Pray along

Play a long song

ANNIE LENNOX lyrics - The Thin Line Between Love And Hate

It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate



It's five o'clock in the morning

And you're just gettin' in

A knock upon the door

A voice sweet and low says (who is it?)

She opens up the door

And she lets you in

And never once does she say "where have you been?"



She says "Hold it,

Are you hungry, did you eat yet,

Let me hang up your coat now"

And all the time she's smiling

Never raises her voice

It's five o'clock in the morning

And you don't give it a second thought



It's a thin line between love and hate

It's a thin line between love and hate



The sweetest woman in the world

Could be the meanest woman in the world

If you make her be that way

She might be holding something in

That's really gonna hurt you

One of these fine days



There you are in the hospital

Bandaged from foot to head

In a state of shock

That much from bein' dead

You didn't think your woman

Could do something like that to you

You didn't think she'd got the nerve

Accidents speak louder than words

Louder than words

Louder than words

Louder than words



Come on

Come on, baby, baby

If you won't give a damn about me

Come on baby, baby

You don't really care about me



Hear what I say

Hear what I say

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Winterwood

(McLean)



No one can take your place with me

And time has proven that I'm right

There's no place I'd rather be

Than at your place for the night

No time can pass your sight unseen

No moment steals away unfound

Lifetime lived in such a dream

Floats like a feather to the ground



And for the first time I've been seeing

The things I've never noticed without you

And for the first time I'm discovering

The things I used to treasure about you



Birds like leaves on winterwood

Sing hopeful songs on dismal days

They've learned to live life as they should

They are at peace with nature's ways

You are as natural as the night

And all that springs from you is good

And the children born beneath your light

Are like the birds on winterwood



And for the first time I've been seeing

The things I've never noticed without you

And for the first time I'm discovering

The things I used to treasure about you

BOB SEGER SYSTEM lyrics - The Last Song (Love Needs To Be Loved)

Don't you know it doesn't matter

Who you are or what you'd really like to be

Cause it's all without your mind

And you weren't born blind



And you don't have to see

Just keep it in your heart

And if it takes you far

It's a start man

It's a start

Women were sent from heaven above

And love needs to be loved

Needs to be loved



Love needs to be loved

Love needs to be loved

Love needs to be loved

Love needs to be loved

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - If You Believe

Time, of rise and fly, over me, to the sea,

Love is a pride, wait for me, wait for me,



If you believe in me,

I will believe in what will be,

We want the world you've only dreamed of,

Promise of the seasons,

Give us the future please,

That's all we need of you.



Running in circles,

Desperate we hold to yours and mine,

Using my body,

Closing our hearts and eyes.



Oh no, open the door and let the wind blow,

Take my hand, together we stand in the eye of the hurricane.



If you believe in me

I will believe in what will be,

We want the world you've only dreamed of,

Promise of the seasons,

Give us the future please,

That's all we need of you.



Every nation, every woman, child and man

Comes on a moment, where they must take a stand,



Oh no, forget what you know, just let the wind blow,

Blown apart, you open your heart, and that's where anything can be.



If you believe in me

I will believe in what will be,

We want the world you've only dreamed of,

Promise of our seasons,

Give us the future please,

That's all we need of you.



Out of control, out of my mind, at last,

Into my dreams, we sailed away.



If you believe in me

I will believe in what will be,

We want the world you've only dreamed of,

Promise of our seasons,

Give us the future please,

That's all we need of you.



Oh sing it children

(If you believe in me)

Got to believe

(I will believe in what will be,)

Tell `em what you want

(We want the world you've only dreamed of,)

World you've only dreamed of

(Promise of our seasons,)

(Give us the future please, )

(That's all we need of you.)



If you believe in me

I will believe in what will be,

We want the world you've only dreamed of,

Promise of our seasons,

Give us the future please,

That's all we need of you.

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Golden Moment

(K. Johnson, R. Roberts)



[Recorded August 23, 1965, Hollywood]



You're young for a golden moment, you sigh and it flies away

And then in the silent September, you dream of the music of May.

You're young for a shining hour, but soon it's remember-when,

Take hold of that golden moment,

For once it's gone, it never comes back again.

(music interlude)

Take hold of that golden moment,

For once it is gone, it never comes back.

You cry, still it won't come back,

It's gone and never comes back again.

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Life Shrinks

Shall I wear a buttonhole to jog your memory?

So you'll recall the promise

That I swore you made to me when we were younger

You look sorry for yourself but what about?

I'm some idea you're not without a doubt

So you can put away that tongue

I don't know who I'm trying to kid

I'll find another name for you

I'll try to put the blame on you

For everything we did

Life shrinks and before you know it

You have forgotten all the cuts and bruises

Just be thankful we were only fighting for buttons

And you know by now who loses



You're only half awake because you never go to bed

And when he hears about it

You know then the both of you's is dead and that's a promise

You'll be sorry because I won't tell you again

You'll stick like that one day

And if you don't believe me go and ask St. Thomas

I don't know where it's going to stop

Spend your whole time trying to stay

From breaking down or running away

Or trying to keep up

ROXETTE lyrics - Little Girl

Once upon a time there was a little girl

Once she was mine

In my heart the only one

I wonder where you are

I know you're somewhere in me

I can see your smile when I close my eyes



Oh, little girl

Where did you go, little girl

I miss you so

I remember when she was mine



Once upon a time there was a little voice

Singing loud and clear

In my heart the only one

Once upon a times there was so many dreams

Once they were mine

Where did you go, little girl

I miss you so

I remember when she was mine

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Mama's Boy

(Quatro/Tuckey)



By the way he looks across his shoulder

And the way he sees things through his eyes

It's impossible to disguise

He's a mama's boy



So confusing to my sense of humour

Is the way he hurts so easily

Anyone can see he's a mama's boy



Firstly he holds me too softly

Then he touches me barely

Mama's boy

Then he loves me too quickly

Always everything but manly

Mama's boyMama's boy



It's a funny kind of situation

Can't relate to what is happpening

I'm tired of making time with a mama's boy

It's an insult to my sense of living

When it seems I'm doin' all the giving

I can't waste one more night

He's a mama's boy



Firstly he holds me too softly

Then he touches me barely

Mama's boy

Then he loves me too quickly

Always everything but manly

Mama's boy

Mama's boy



Firstly he holds me too softly

Then he touches me barely

Mama's boy

Then he loves me too quickly

Always everything but manly

Mama's boy

Mama's boy



Well she tied him to her apron strings

Now he needs her advice on everything

Oh anyone can see he's a mama's boy

Don't know why he gets involved with women

He's a closet case with all the trimmings

He's such a pretty thing

He's a mama's boy



Na Na Na Na Na Na Mama's BoyNa Na Na Na Na Na Mama's Boy

Mama's Boy

Na Na Na Na Na Na Mama's BoyNa Na Na Na Na Na Mama's Boy

Mama's Boy

TESLA lyrics - Cry

(Keith, Hannon, Wheat)



Any day at all, any time, any way it take me to make you mine

I would give it all, give it all and more

Give you more than you could ever want from me

If anything they say is true, you gotta have 'em, if you wanna sing the blues

'Cos some nights, there ain't nothing I can do, but



Cry, cry an ocean

No use tryin' to hide what's slowly dying in me, what's slowly dying in me



Now I will confess, was no second guess

With all your love you left to me, it was a mess

Once there was a time, was no compromising

You [left so life can't do possess]



If anything they say is true, what goes around will be coming to you, I know

Some night, there'll be nothing you can do, but



Cry, cry an ocean

No use trying to hide what's slowly dying in me

Cry, do you feel that it's over

What you may fear is still alive, it's slowly dying in me



I cried, guess you're crying now

(I'm blind to the end, I cried...)

Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be

Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be

Tried, tried to be everywhere I could, for you, cried out my eyes for you



For you



[Solo]



Take no bad talk, I ain't a toy, I won't be somebody's boy

My heart ain't [chasin'] no game and if I do play, I'm takin' my time

Take no bad talk (I take no), take no bad talk (ah, hell no)

I won't be your boy, ain't gonna be a toy



If anything they say is true, anytime it should be coming for you



Cry, cry an ocean

No use trying to hide what's deep inside of me

You can cry, do you feel that it's over

Don't you come crying, no don't come crying, don't come crying to me!

THE CHURCH lyrics - It Could Be Anyone

Within this city will come to your children

Identical sisters in mirrors of haze

Magnetic disturbance distorting the meters

Unendurable silence sucked into the phase



The first of these daughters appears in the vacuum

The void that's created in an absence of light

Perpetually chanting the great Maha mantra

She heralds the current that holds back the night



Anyone, could be anyone



The second descends through electric attraction

Distributing wings, that've never been used

When certain conditions fulfilled by the future

Momentarily lucid, permanently fused



In the hills and mountains the hawks and the eagles

Hang on the breezes and glide on the clouds

They pull down a torrent that shorts out the circuits

Negating the fires and drowning the crowds



Anyone, could be anyone



Without a trace of suspicion the message transmitted

It's certainly altered, it's no longer true

Bursting in temples, it brings on the jungles

Breeds good doctors nobody knew



When north meets the south, when right meets the left

When parallel lines begin to converge

We're transcending factors, fake the arrangements

Charge-positive sky, the monster submerged



And when this is over, and when it is finished

The mission accomplished, the purpose complete

Back at the beginning Eden prevails

Back at the start, back on the street



Anyone, could be anyone

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - Other Shore

There'll be times at sunrise when my heart speaks your name

For you left with no warning but there's no one left to blame

All those days full of golden sun when you walked by my side

And everything that you gave to me can never be denied



And sometimes the other shore is so far away

And that darker river's edge is too far away

And across the waterline is far away



On a new tomorrow cooling breeze shows a star

There can be so much sorrow, when you've traveled from afar

But there's nothing that can harm you when the night's closing in

In the bright lit heavens above us, you know we'll meet there again



And sometimes the other shore is so far away

And that darker river's edge is too far away

And across the waterline is far away



In the rush of our breathing there is always passing time

There is always somebody leaving, someone's always left behind

But something endures in the morning's blue light, I have you and you have me

And it'll be alright when the skies all clear, 'cause we're all born to be free



The other shore is so far way

And that darker river's edge is too far away

And across the waterline it's so far away



And sometimes the other shore is so far away

And across the river's edge is so far away.

So far away, far away, so far away

So far away, so far away, far away

So far away, far away, so far away

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Love For Sale

When the only sound in the empty street,

Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet

That belong to a lonesome cop

I open shop.

When the moon so long has been gazing down

On the wayward ways of this wayward town.

That her smile becomes a smirk,

I go to work.



Love for sale,

Appetising young love for sale.

Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,

Love that's only slightly soiled,

Love for sale.

Who will buy?

Who would like to sample my supply?

Who's prepared to pay the price,

For a trip to paradise?

Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love

in their childish way,

I know every type of love

Better far than they.

If you want the thrill of love,

I've been through the mill of love;

Old love, new love

Every love but true love

Love for sale.



Appetising young love for sale.

If you want to buy my wares.

Follow me and climb the stairs

Love for sale.

Love for sale.

LOU REED lyrics - Tripitena's Speech

[Spoken Track]



[Tripitena:]



My love

The king by any other name a pissoir

You, my love tower over them all

they are but vermin beneath your heels

They are monkeys

Suit them, frame them to your own vision

but do not let one false word

of mockery seep through to your vast heart

I have seen you from close and afar and your worth

far exceeds your height, your width

the depth of your sorrow

Oh willful outcast doth thou not see the light of our love

our linked fortunes

our hearts melded together

into one fine golden braided finery

They listen to the music of idiots and amuse themselves

with the sordid Miseries of their businesses

They are not the things of angels

nor of any higher outpost that humanity might aspire to

Your loathsome vomitous

businessman king is of the lowest order

his advisors

crumbling mockeries of education driven by avarice

My love

dress them in the suits of mockery

and in their advanced state of stupidity

and senility

burn and destroy them so their ashes might join the compost

which they so much deserve

If justice on this earth be fleeting

let us for once hear the weeping

and the braying of the businessman king

Let them be the the orangutans they are

and set them blazing from the chandelier for all to see

hanging from the ceiling by their ridiculous chains

and petticoats which you will have them wear

under the guise of costumic buffoonery

He who underestimates

in time is bound to find the truth sublime

and hollow lie upon the grates of systemic disorder

Businessmen

you're not worth shitting on

YES lyrics - Take The Water To The Mountain

(Jon Anderson)



Take the water to the mountain;

Take the river to the sea.

Let the forest be salvation

Long before it needs to be.



Take the water to the mountain;

Let your body flow upstream.

Let it cascade off your shoulders;

Be the body of your dreams.



Take the water to the mountain;

Let the sun shine on your ground.

You decide your every movement;

Let the water to the land.



Take the water to the mountain;

Cross the Great Divide of Love.

Put to Nature all you can give;

Let the Mother know your heart.



Take the water to the mountain;

Let's become alive again.

Holy water, holy mountain,

Holy river, holy tree.



(Undecipherable; any takers?)

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - My Dark Life

She says nobody wants to believe

You're the same as everyone.

What makes me unique? My Dark Life.

There was a kink in the world

Sent that statue tumbling

An invitation east

So we can watch it all crumbling



She came off like light and so softly she spoke:

"You don't know, no you don't know about my dark life"

And you think you're a guest, you're a tourist at best

Peering into the corners of your dark life

Now that you tear your dreams from consumptive ballerinas

She'd stand on tiptoes for you in a grey and tattered tutu

She stays where she is because of voyeurs like these

With an accusative look that says My Dark Life.



Robber men await you then in each beguiling alley

To shake you and to pierce you and remind you of

My Dark Life.



Enter the pious elite, in their preening finery

And bang the tambourine

They're dining on rice paper scenery

See how the villain attracts envious glances from everyone

She's waitressing by day

It doesn't bring in much money now



And his strong concealed arms set off bells and alarms

In the strangest locations of My Dark Life

But the fantasy slipped as he tipped her in cigarettes

She tries to smile very graciously when she wants to kill him

Now the victory is sweet, you'll get down on your knees

It's the perfect position for kissing western leather



So they came from Ugly Texas and from Nameless Tennessee

From Peculiar Missouri and from places closer to me.

All the cream of heartless England, cheered the carnival is over

There are remnants of red army bandsmen

Played "America The Beautiful"

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - But Why

(Jason Sellers, Neil Thrasher)



I can open doors all by myself

And I'm strong enough to face this world

Without anybody's help

But why, why would I want to

Why, when you love me like you do



[Chorus:]

I could go on livin'

Without tasting your kiss

Get by without this moment

You touching me like this, but why



I could keep this feeling locked in my heart

I could bury these emotions, and put up my guard

But why, why start resisting

Why, look at all I'd be missing



[Chorus]



But why would i do that

I'd have to be crazy

To give all you give me

What you do to me baby



I could go on livin'

Without tasting your kiss

Get by without this moment

You touching me like this

And holding me and loving me like this,

But why, why would I want to baby

Oh, why

PULP lyrics - 59 Lyndhurst Grove

There's a picture by his first wife on the wall

Stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall

A stain from last week's party on the stairs

No-one knows who made it

Or how it ever got there

They were dancing with children round their necks

Talking business, books and records, art and sex

All things being considered

You'd call it a success

You wore your black dress



He's an architect and such a lovely guy

And he'll stay with you until the day you die

And he'll give you everything you could desire

Oh well almost everything

Everything that he can buy

So you sometimes go out in the afternoon

Spend an hour with your lover in his bedroom

Hear old women rolling trolleys down the road

Back to Lyndhurst Grove

Lyndhurst Grove, Oh

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - "Skee-ball And Saltwater Taffy"

[From the Venue Songs DVD:]

Home is on They Might Be Giants' minds, and now in their sights. But as they head north, they cannot pass up a stop in Asbury Park, New Jersey, where they play skee-ball, and eat saltwater taffy that was made in 1996. And of course, they check in with their old friends at the legendary Stone Pony. It was here at this landmark musicial dungeon by the sea where public radio's Garrison Keillor first somberly rocked America with songs like, "Factory's A'Closin' In The Quaint Fictional Lutheran Town", and traded white hot rock guitar licks with Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora. It is this legacy that inspires yet another venue song. One that shall be played.



[Alternate version:]

Home is on They Might Be Giants' minds and in their sights. As they head north, they are forced to stop in Asbury Park, NJ at the legendary [http://www. stoneponyonline. com/ Stone Pony]. Though time has slowly healed southern Jersey of the dark reign of the dark overlord Bon Jovi, and elves once again frolic on the Dance Dance Revolution Machines of the boardwalk arcades, the Giants still cannot hear their muse until a lingering malcontent attacks the band backstage. Now, They Might Be Giants has all the inspiration they need.

ERASURE lyrics - Hallowed Ground

(Clarke / Bell)



Everybody's intent on killing someone

The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run

The bullets scream out from gun to gun

Everybody's intent on being someone



The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn

Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep themselves warm

A child in the arms of a teenage mom

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?



Old friends meet on the edge of town

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better

While the children meet, got the world at their feet

Not knowing what's around the corner

Are we living for an uncertain future?



Down by the corner sits a broken man

Lives by the bottle, swears never again

Lost his money on the dogs and gin

He looks for his supper in garbage can



The kids hang around by the old schoolground

Right by the river where the body was found

Throwing stones on hallowed ground

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?



Old friends meet on the edge of town

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better

While the children meet, got the world at their feet

Not knowing what's around the corner

Are we living for an uncertain future?

Can you hear them calling?



In the cold and darkness of the criminal dawn

Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep ourselves warm

A child in the arms of a teenage mom

Who will be there, who will be the last victim of the criminal dawn?



Old friends meet on the edge of town

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better

While the children meet, got the world at their feet

Not knowing what's around the corner

Are we living for an uncertain future?



Old friends meet on the edge of town

Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better

While the children meet, got the world at their feet

Not knowing what's around the corner

Are we living for an uncertain future?

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Memories Of Old Days

Now the wings fell to ground as the miles they were crossed

All the years seemed like days as the time it was lost

For without his solutions and reasons for why

He should come up for air to the town once his by



So soon on his way

Shadows from the pathways

Memories of old days



That the journey was long many thoughts filled his mind

As he neared the stop always a dream he would find

But the road that he knew could no longer be seen

And the city lights flickered where lake waters gleamed



With sadness today

Hopes of joy yesterday

Memories of old days



Sky and the trees of his youthful time spent

Only smoke, only paper. No colour or scent



With sadness today

Hopes of joy yesterday

Memories of old days

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - Can't Slow Down

I know what's on your mind.

You feel you're wasting time.

Wanna talk about it?

You feel there's something wrong.

Don't feel like holding on.

You better think about it.

You say you jest can't see.

Don't lay that hurt on me.

What I'm trying baby.

Got something on my mind.

Something I've got to find.

I'm on the move baby.



[Chorus:]

You see I (can't slow down)

Got to keep movin' baby (can't slow down)

No I (can't slow down)

Oh (can't slow down)

Got to keep movin' on, oh baby.



I'm out here on the run.

Trying to get things done.

Can you hear me baby?

You think my love's nowhere.

You think I just don't care.

Are you kidding baby?

Don't make me play no games.

Too hard to just stay sane.

You know that time won't wait

Why should I hesitate.

Got to do it baby.



[Chorus]



I'm working hard tryin' to pull it together.

You know I've got to right now.

'cause girl I can't quit once I get started,

I've got to make it somhow...

Ah, (I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')

Oh,(I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')

That's right (I got to keep movin', I can't stop movin')

That's right (I got to keep movin', I can't stop)

Ooh, (can't slow down)

Got to keep movin' (can't slow down)

Ooh yeah girl (can't slow down)

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Country Christmas

(Loretta Lynn)



Mommie pop the popcorn and we string it on the tree

Apples nuts and candy oh what a Christmas feel

Daddy play the organ and we'll all sing Silent Night

We'll have a good old country Christmas alright

A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be

With all the family gathered round our pretty Christmas tree

We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight

We'll have a good old country Christmas alright

[ guitar ]

Aunt Annie Belle will be here uncle Bill and darn our kids

We'll make ballets on the floor just like we always did

Gradnama bake the pies and cakes oh what a pretty sight

We'll have a good old country Christmas alright

A good old country Christmas...

A good old country Christmas...

IDA COX lyrics - Wild Women Don't Have The Blues

(Ida Cox)



I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men

About their trifling husbands and their no good friends

These poor women sit around all day and moan

Wondering why their wandering papa's don't come home

But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues



Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square

'Cause if you do he'll have a woman everywhere

I never was known to treat no one man right

I keep 'em working hard both day and night

'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues



I've got a disposition and a way of my own

When my man starts kicking I let him find another home

I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night

Go home and put my man out if he don't act right

Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues



You never get nothing by being an angel child

You better change your ways and get real wild

I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie

Wild women are the only kind that really get by

'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

DAVID GILMOUR lyrics - Coming Back To Life

(Gilmour)



Where were you when I was burned and broken

While the days slipped by from my window watching

Where were you when I was hurt and helpless

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words

Dying to believe in what you heard

I was staring straight into the shining sun



Lost in thought and lost in time

While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the moment had arrived

For killing the past and coming back to life



I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the waiting had begun

And headed straight..into the shining sun

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Just A Word Away

Plenty of time to turn out the light,

I want to keep this feeling inside, for a little more,

It must be a Daddy's pride and joy, a little baby boy,

Is lying in my arms here tonight;



Tears in my eyes when I saw you being born,

So much emotion, words cannot form, so I'll let it be,

Only to say it's you and me, for eternity,

I wish you a wonderful life,



And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,

Just a word away;



I will be near whenever you call,

Pick you up whenever you fall,

'Till the day will come, you'll think you're out there,

On your own, but you're not alone,

Remember that I will be here,



And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,

Just a word away;



Your sister Rosanna's fast asleep, so it's time for me,

To whisper I love you, goodnight,



And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,

Just a word away, just a word away...

STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - To A Flame

Drawn to a flame

She is far away, out of reach

Will she burn her wings? I can only watch

Out of touch, out of my mind



Wish I could tell if she's alright, feeling fine

Lucky for me I'm not a jealous man

Out of hand, out of my mind



When this love is over, start again

Find a new friend, fall in love again



Get yourself high someone

And then wave goodbye, don't you cry

Go ahead break your heart

But don't fall apart

It's like saying goodbye

To Paris for the first time

B. B. KING lyrics - Sweet Thing

When I first met you baby, honey you were almost out of school

When I first met you baby, honey you were almost out of school

You were real wild then woman, honey, but you were nobody's fool



I was so in love with you baby and I tried to get you to love me too

I was so in love with you baby and I tried to get you to love me too

I thought you had no time for me then woman, wouldn't do anything you asked me to



Oh, sweet thing, you are all I want to see

Oh, sweet thing, you are all I want to see

I having so much trouble baby, I wonder what's gonna happen to me

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Road, River And Rail

He'll be flied away

From those choices that they took

Naked and caught on the Isle de la Cite

Roll of home may be

There's over eleven since she's been

For machine and a feeling I still care

Faulting to mention forms in flight

Fabulous in dream of eve

Flaying on the ground and your infant lives

From out of the bayous

Seen the way is corporeal

The little pants into nowheres

Through Paris breaks soul

From out of the bayous

From must have beige

So we didn't while we seized

Until the fog made me run through that hectic glare

Love won't be forged

And was a fog, was them that cherished



Road, river and rail

"So embarrased, I'm not sure at all", lies mother's daughter

Truth is she found love

[x3]



Road, river and rail

THE SUPREMES lyrics - Nothing Can Change This Love

(S. Cooke)



If I go a million miles away

I write a letter each and every day

'Cause honey, nothin',

Nothin' can ever change this love

I have for you



Ooh, make me weep,

You can make me cry

See me comin'

And you can pass me by

I know that nothin',

nothin' can ever change this love

I have for you



Oh, you're the apple of my eye

You're cherrie pie

Oh you're cake and ice cream

You're sugar and spice

And everything nice

You're the boy of my, my, my dreams



If you wanted to leave me

And roam

When you get back

I'd just say

Welcome home,

I know that nothin',

Nothin' can ever change the love

I have for you



I know that nothin',

Nothin' can ever change the love

I have for you

BABYFACE lyrics - Wish U Was My Girl

I don't wanna hear how wonderful he is

I don 't care if he is special

I don't want to know that shit

I don't care how much he loves you

Or how much he understands

I don't care if he's an angel

Don't give a damn about your man

I don't wanna be just friends

I don't want nobody else

I just want to have all to myself



[Chorus:]

Wish you was my girl

Wish you was my love

Wish you'd the one that I could ocunt on

When things get rough

Wish you'd be my sunshine on a cloudy day

Why can't we be the lovers that were supposed to be

Wish you was my girl

Wish you was my love

Wish you'd be the one that I cloudy count on

When thing get rough

Wish you'd be my sunshine on a cloudy day

Why can't we be together like we're meant to be



I don't wanna hear about your arguments

Less you telling me its over

And you know you through with him

Don't wanna hear if thing were different

You would give your heart to me

Girl the only tjing that matters

Is the day that you gone leave

I don't wanna be just friends

I don't want nobody else

I just want to have you all to myself



[Chorus]



I just can't take this I'm gonna break if off with you

I feel so helpless cause I'm so in love with you

Life is never simple, love ain't no walk in the park

But how am I gonna end thing if I never get to start



[Chorus]

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - I Need Love

(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)



Do you ever feel unhappy, don't know what you wanna do

Do you do you get slap happy, give and take a few

Oh I've never been this lonely, somethin' passed me by

I know what I'm missing, and it makes me cry

Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand

And my secretary says she understands in short hand

Take a note, take a note

Did I really float, in my dreamboat

Is it time to try, before it passes me by



I need love, I need love, I need love

Give it to me

Don't deny me love, I need love, I need love

Lots of it

I wanna o. d. on it



I beg your pardon baby, maybe you can help me out

Could you move a little closer

We don't have to shout you see, I'm a desperate guy

You must've heard it all before

Oh you gotta go,- bye bye - Messin' me up some more

Hunting for bounty with a treasure map in my hand

And my secretary says she understands in short hand

Take a note, take a note

Did I really float in my dreamboat

Is it time to try before it passes me by



I need love, I need love, I need love

Give it to me

Don't deny me love

I need love, I need love

Lots of it

I wanna o. d. on love

I need love, I need love

Let me have it

Let me lay my hands on love

I need love, I need love

Come on, don't deny me love

You see, everybody's talking about love



(I need love, I need love)



To boil my eggs, to stretch my legs

To scratch my back, before I hit the sack

I need love and with a little bit of luck

Love and not just a quick

You know what: I need love

VAN MORRISON lyrics - My Lonely Sad Eyes

(Van Morrison)



Fill me my cup

and I'll drink your sparkling wine

pretending everything is fine

till I see your sad eyes



Throw me a kiss

across a crowded room

some sunny windswept afternoon

there's none too soon for me to miss

my sad eyes

woh oh ou, not bad eyes

a glad eyes, but you my sad eyes



Fortunate and free

and there go you and I

between the other sky

but who are you and I

to wonder why we do so

my sad eyes - lonely



Oh what a story

come on in all it's glory

this song that I sing in everything

for you my sad eyes



You'd better fill me my cup

and I'll drink your sparkling wine

pretending everything is fine

till I see your sad eyes

woh oh ou, not bad eyes

a glad eyes, but you my sad eyes

lonely sad eyes



Fill me my cup

and I'll drink your sparkling wine

pretending everything is fine

till I see your sad eyes



Throw me a kiss

across a crowded room

some sunny windswept afternoon

there's none too soon for me to miss

my sad eyes

but glad eyes, you my sad eyes



Fortunate and free

and there go you and I

between the other sky

but who are you and I

to wonder why we do so

THE CHURCH lyrics - One Day

Tell me, is everything unplanned?

Is all so unexpected that I just can't understand

We run so hard and always end up in the same place

"Glad that went so smoothly" - well that never is the case



One day - doubtless, cloudless, bright

We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night

It's just the storm before the calm

Like the life held in your palm - it's clay, one day



And you stand there, with ashes blowing past

Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last

And the gold you spend and the hastening end

That you throw into the sea

Coming back a hundredfold, there's no guarantee



We'll walk and be like giants, we'll all be honest men

I go back to my blindness so that I may see again

A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea

Dreaming of a new age waiting there for me

I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun

And men and gods begin their dance, for their time has begun

And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain

Are washed away, forgotten in the perfect rain

Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content

Messengers come everywhere, envoys have been sent

Na na na na, na na na na na

A palm tree nodded at me last night he said

"Hey you look so pale"

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK lyrics - Hold On

Hold on, girl, ooh, girl, hold on.

Girl, let's rock around the clock, we can dance and never stop.

Come on, girl, just hold on tight, I know you wanna rock tonight.

Through the night into the day we could chase our blues away,

so grab a hold, don't lose control, I really know you got the soul.

Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on.



Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on.

Girl, the feeling's in the air, don't you know, it's everywhere.

Everywhere around the block people dance until they just can't stop.

Through the night....



Hold on, girl, hold on, ooh, girl, hold on [repeat & fade]

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Gone Again

Hey now man's own kin

we commend into the wind

grateful arms grateful limbs

grateful soul he's gone again



I have a winter's tale

how vagrant hearts relent prevail

sow their seed into the wind

seize the sky and they're gone again



fame is fleeting God is nigh

we raise our arms to him on night

we shoot our flint into the sun

we bless our spoils and we're gone we're gone



Hey now man's own kin

we commend into the wind

grateful arms grateful limbs

grateful heart he's gone again



Here a man man's own kin

he turned his back and his own people shot him

and he fell on his knees

before the burning plane

and he beheld fields of gold his land his sun

and he arose his blood aflame

the clouds pressed with hand prints stained



one last breath

the sky is high

the hungry earth

the empty vein

the ashes rain

death's own bed

man's own kin

into the wind

one last breath

hole in life

love knot tied

braid undone

child born

the hollow horn

warrior cried

a warrior died

one last breath

lick of flame

spirit moaned

spirit shed

the heavens fed

man's own kin

grips the sky

and he's gone again



Hey now man's own kin

we lay down into the wind

grateful arms grateful limbs

grateful heart he's gone again



Hey now man's own kin

he ascends into the wind

grateful heart grateful limbs

grateful man he's gone again

SANDRA lyrics - Invisible Shelter

(Gad - Cretu/Hirschburger)



(My invisible shelter)

(My invisible shelter)



Feel me

I'm by your side

Can you feel me

Tonight



Can you hear me

I am cryin for you one more time

Can you feel me

Inside



I couldn't make it right

And now you're out of sight

But there is something you should know



Your love is like a knife

It's driven deep inside

I'd rather die than let it go



I never thought

This world was runnin out of love

I always thought

For me there's more than just enough



Can you feel me

Like a shadow I'm by your side

Can you feel me

Tonight

(My invisible shelter)



Can you hear me

I am cryin for you one more time

Can you feel me

Inside

(My invisible shelter)



A world in black and white

I learn to live my life

I gotta find a way without you



I never thought

That I could ever hate myself

I never thought

That all I'd do was cry for help



Can you feel me

Like a shadow I'm by your side

Can you feel me

Tonight

(My invisible shelter)



Can you hear me

Hear me

Feel me

Hear me

Can you feel me

Tonight

(My invisible shelter)

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Have A Little Faith In Me

When the road gets dark

And you can no longer see

Just let my love throw a spark baby

And have a little faith in me



And when the tears you cry

Are all you can believe

Just give these loving arms a try baby

And have a little faith in me



Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me



When your secret heart

Cannot speak so easily

Come here darlin'

From a whispered start

To have a little faith in me



And when you're back's against the wall

Just turn around and you will see

I will catch you, I will catch your fall baby

Just have a little faith in me



Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me



Well, I've been loving you for such a long time girl

Expecting nothing in return

Just for you to have a little faith in me

You see, time, time, is our friend

'Cause for us there is no end

And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

I said I will hold you up, I will hold you up

Your love gives me strength enough

So have a little faith in me.



All you got to do baby

All you got to do

Is just have a little faith in me.

A-HA lyrics - Summer Moved On

Summer moved on

And the way it goes

You can't tag along



Honey moved out

And the way it went

Leaves no doubt



Moments will pass

In the morning light

I found out



Seasons can't last

And there's one thing

Left to ask



Stay, don't just walk away

And leave me another day

A day just like today

With nobody else around



Friendships move on

Until the day

You can't get along



Handshakes unfold

And the way it goes

No one knows



Moments will pass

In the morning light

I found out



Seasons can't last

So there's just one thing

Left to ask



Stay, don't just walk away

And leave me another day

A day just like today

Stay, don't just walk away

With nobody else around



Seasons can't last

And there's just one thing

Left to ask



Stay, don't just walk away

And leave me another day

A day just like today

Stay, don't just walk away

With nobody else around



Summer moved on

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON I lyrics - Decoration Blues

(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))



Lord, I had a woman, she was nice lovin' in ev'ry way

Lord, I had a woman, she was nice lovin' in ev'ry way

Lord, but she died and left me, I have the blues on ev'ry decoration day



Lord, I hated to see her leave, because these were the last words my baby had to say

Lord, I hate to see her leave me, because these are the last words my baby had to say

She told me to bring her some flowers, on ev'ry decoration day



People you havin' a good time now, just like the flowers that comes in May

People you havin' a good time now, just like the flowers that comes in May

Now, but Sonny Boy, thinks about his baby, on ev'ry decoration day



Fare you well, baby, I ain't got no mo' to say

Fare you well, baby, I ain't got no mo' to say

Lord, but I always rememeber, I won't never forget decoration day



Play along boy!

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme

I've acted out my love in stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be

I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see

(baby can't you see now)



There's no one more important to me (baby)

Baby can't you please see through me 'cause we're alone now and

I'm singin' this song for you



You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'

You came out in front and I was hiding

But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody (listen to the melody)

cause my love's in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time

I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine)

And when my life is over, remember when we were together

We were alone and



I was singin' this song for you

We were alone and

I was singin' this song for you

We were alone and

I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - To Be Around You

Something that you do

Hypnotizes me

Sets my soul at ease

Every time you're near me

I'm in heaven baby

I don't know how you do it

Never felt like this before

I don't want to lose it

Give me all your love

(More and more and more)

Something that you do

Mesmerizes me

Sets my body free

Every time you touch me

I'm in heaven baby

I don't know how you do it

Never felt so sweet before

I don't want to lose it

Give me all your love

(More and more and more)



[Chorus:]

I just wanna be around you

Tell me are you feeling the same

I just wanna be around you

Every minute of the day



Oh I'm never gonna let you go

Every time you smile

It captivates my mind

And it lifts me to the sky

Anytime you touch me

I'm in heaven baby

I don't know how you do it

Never felt so sweet before

I don't wanna lose it

Give me all your love



[Chorus]



I just want

To be the only one you live for

I just want

To give you all my love

(More and more and more)



[Chorus]

PULP lyrics - Street Lites

Doorways corners and the street lights dance in your eyes

Behind the cinema in the rain

In the subway

Where the walls crumble and cover you in fine dust

'cos we haven't got a home to go to touch me

On the back seat, on the top deck

Talk dirty on the back row

Can you feel me against you?



Oh no

We shouldn't

We shouldn't

We shouldn't

I want to

...mmmm...



What you gonna do

If you go home and he's not there?

It wouldn't be the same if we didn't know it was wrong

Oh touch me

And then go wherever he takes you

Oh yeah leave me

And I'll walk it off in the rain somehow

Someone wants to watch by the side of Alena Stores

In the doorway, in the rain

Did he see us?

Do you care?



Pull the night-time tight around us

And we can keep each other warm

While the cars drive by

En-route to dried-up dinners

And strip-lit kitchens and the smell of gas and potato peelings

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?

It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong

Oh touch me

And then go wherever he takes you

Oh yeah leave me

And I'll walk it off in the rain somehow yeah

We've got to go on meeting like this

I don't want to live with you or anywhere near you

I want to catch you unawares

Undressing in front of a window maybe

Impressed with those things I drive by

Did you see me?

Could you tell that I was watching?

Did it make it feel better?

Yeah, it was good for me too

Did you think about me?

Oh did you close your eyes?

Think that maybe it was my hand that was touching you

My breath against your face?

And when you opened your eyes

Did the world tip off its axis for a few seconds?

And you thought you'd caught a tiny glimpse of someone?

Something here with it's shoulders moving towards you?



Yeah I did too

And it felt good

And it felt good

And it felt good



In a strange kind of way

In a way that things that aren't supposed to feel good

Sometimes do

Oh take it away

Yeah

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?

It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong

Oh touch me

And then go wherever he takes you

Oh yeah leave me

And I'll walk it off in the rain somehow

What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?

It wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong

Oh touch me

And then go wherever he takes you

Oh yeah leave me

And I'll walk it off in the rain somehow.

B. B. KING lyrics - Whole Lot Of Loving

I got a whole lot of lovin'

Baby just waiting for you

I got a whole lot of lovin'

Baby just waiting for you

And the way I could love you woman

Honey I know you could love me too



Oh you're so good lookin' baby

And you build up from the ground

Well you're so good lookin' baby

And you build up from the ground

Every time I see you baby

My love starts tumbling down



Yeah, you're just my type baby

Just my height and size

Said you're just my type baby

You're just my height and size

And the reason I love you

Because you've got those little dreamy eyes
