ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - The Element Within Her



It's the element within her

Something under her skin

That is shining out through the face of the girl

Two sapphires and couple of rows of pearls

It's just a part of it

Like your fine tresses

You know what my guess is

La la la la la la la la la la la

He was a PLAYBOY

Could charm the birds right out of the trees

Now he says 'What do I do with these?'

La la la la la la la la la la la



This love in my heart

Let no-one set asunder

Sometimes I wonder

La la la la la la la la la la la



But back in the bedroom

With her electric heater

I SAY 'ARE YOU COLD?'

SHE SAYS 'NO, BUT YOU ARE LA'

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - No Love For Free



You come to me trembling trembling

Shaking at the knees

You say you love me better than

Anyone else can

My head is spinning

I'm flattered

But I don't understand



Every passing hello

How are you

You want to know his name

Just because I was there when you

Needed a shoulder

You think I'll take your name

I love for money

I'm flattered

But I can't leave my trade



You will see me holding up some corner store

In my twenties print

And my thumb's turned out

Yes I'm looking for a ride

Jesus woke me up in some

Strangers bed

There are a lot like you

They want to save my soul



Let me tell you

This lady loves

And she goes where she pleases

No love for free


CHICAGO lyrics - If You Leave Me Now



(Words and music by Peter Cetera)



If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me

No baby please don't go

If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me

No baby please don't go

A love like ours is love that's hard to find

How could we let it slip away

We've come too far to leave it all behind

How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes we'll both regret

Things we said today

Cause I need you more than you'll ever know


LITA FORD lyrics - I Can't Stand It



I still remember everything you said

I'll love ya tonight but don't get uptight, no

Then I knew I'd never see you again

I want to make up with you but what can I do?



I can't stand it

Tonight you're here but tomorrow you're gone, oh, no

I can't stand it

The love that was real, got wasted away, oh, it's gone



I still remember the look in your eyes

Well, I wish I could fly, you make me cry

'Cause you were somethin' that I never had

And I never will but still I keep dreamin' of...



I can't stand it

Tonight you're here but tomorrow you're gone, oh, no

I can't stand it

The love that was real, got wasted away, oh, it's gone



I will wait forever, just to have you one more time

'Cause it's the only way, I can't ever keep you out of my mind



I can't stand it

I can't stand it

I can't stand it

You know there's no other way

I can't stand it

You know I can't take it no more...

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Talking In The Dark



I tried in vain to drive myself insane

I talk to myself but I don't listen

I found out what I was missing

I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I'm not conversational

Without the sense of the occasional

Without you, I miss talking in the dark

When the barking and the biting is through

We can talk like we're in love or talk like we're above it

We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it



I look for the news, somebody to abuse

I look at myself but it's so chancy

I see things that I don't fancy



I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I'm not conversational

Without the sense of the occasional

Without you, I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I miss talking in the dark


TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Secrets



It seems we caused a forest fire

With just a flicker of a flame

And now I set alight to everything

Now all I do is cause you pain



I won't keep secrets alive

I'll send them all out to space

Without the will to survive

They won't be going no place



Oh my angel

Woman child



I used to think the time would come

When man would rise above the beast

I gave up thinking that way long ago

In conversation with a priest



I won't keep secrets alive

I'll send them all out to space

Without the will to survive

They won't be going no place



Oh my angel

Woman child



We could heal this blindness

With some human kindness

I know secrets kill you

But my love could fill you



Time and time again

Time and time again

It would be so fine

If you could be mine



I won't keep secrets alive

I'll send them all out to space

Without the will to survive

They won't be going no place



Oh my angel

Woman child


OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Leaving



(Fiett/Fletcher)



Nothing is moving, all the world is still

No birds are singing and they never will

Cause you're leaving

No doors are open, the sun doesn't smile

There's no sign of laughter, it rains all the while

And I'm grieving

Cause you're leavin', leavin'



Food doesn't tempt me

No coffee or cakes, everything's empty

My heart's full of aches, nothing can please me

Why are you leaving?



Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds

I keep on walking, I'm lost in a crowd

Cause you're leaving

Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain

I'm all over numb and I can't explain

Now you're leaving

Cause you're leavin', leavin'



So you put me down, you go your way around

I'm glad you're doing fine, I'll make out in time

Don't you worry, now you're leaving


COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Angel Mine



He searched for those wings that he knew

That this angel should have at her back

And although he can't find them

He really don't mind

Because he knows they'll grow back

And he reached for that halo that he knows

That she had when she first caught his eye

Although his hand came back empty

He's really not worried

'cause he knows it still shines



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

Or keep this tarnished halo shined

But I'll never betray your trust

Angel mine



I search all the time on the ground

For our shadows cast side by side

Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy

That you exist and are mine

And I know that your skin is as warm and as real

As that smile in your eyes

But I have to keep touching and smelling

And tasting for fear it's all lies



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

Or keep this tarnished halo shined

But I'll never betray your trust

Angel mine



Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps

With your voice in my head

And I could tell by your breathing

That you were still sleeping

I repeated those words that you had said



I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

Or keep this tarnished halo shined

But I'll never betray your trust

Angel mine

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Come With Me



I'll try to make the sun shine brighter for you

I will even play the fool if it makes you smile

I'll try to make you laugh if there's a tear in your eye

After all is said

After all is done

I'd do anything for you



Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright



I'll try to make the stars shine brighter for you

And I'll take you on my shoulders, hold you way up high

I'll even chase the rainbow hanging in the sky

COs after all is said

After all is done

I'd do anything for you



Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright



Through the eyes of innocence

You will find, you will see

There'll come a time it all makes sense

And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside



Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright



I'll try to make the days last longer for you

From the daybreak, 'til the sunset, 'til the end of time

I'll keep you safe, away from the heartache

COs when all is said

And when all is done

I'd do anything for you



Come with me, close your eyes

Hold my hand, it'll be alright

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Lift your head it's gonna be alright

BADFINGER lyrics - Hey, Mr. Manager



Waiting for the phone to tell me you and I are through

And I'm not alone, I guess that everybody wants it, too



You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs

Your lies are stealing Lord, I think you should be gone



Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life

Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife



It's the same old story, we all know it to the end

But without your boring glory, we could live again



You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs

Your lies are stealing God, I think you should be gone



Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life

Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife



Laying down these lines This song's especially for you

It may be simple But in some ways, so are you!



Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life

Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of, that kind of, that kind of strife



Waiting for the phone to tell me

You and I are through.


BESSIE SMITH lyrics - Wild About That Thing



(Spencer Williams)



Honey baby, won't you cuddle near,

Just sweet mama whisper in your ear

I'm wild about that thing, it makes me laugh and sing,

Give it to me papa, I'm wild about that thing



Do it easy, honey, don't get rough,

From you, papa, I can't get enough

I'm wild about that thing, I'm wild about that thing,

Everybody knows it, I'm wild about that thing



Please don't hold it, baby, when I cry,

Give me every bit of it or else I'll die

I'm wild about that thing, ja da ging ging ging,

All the time I'm cryin', I'm wild about that thing



What's the matter, papa, please don't stop,

Don't you know I love it and I want it all?

I'm wild about that thing, just give my bell a ring,

You touched my button, I'm wild about that thing



If you want so satisfy my soul,

Come on and rock me with a steady roll

I'm wild about that thing, gee I like your ting-a-ling,

Kiss me like you mean it, I'm wild about that thing



Come on turn the lights down low,

Say you're ready, just say let's go

I'm wild about that thing, I'm wild about that thing,

Come on and make me feel it, I'm wild about that thing



I'm wild about it when you hold me tight,

Let me linger in your arms all night

I'm wild about that thing, my passions got the fling,

Come on, hear me cryin', I'm wild about that thing


NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Rock Of Gibraltar



Let me say this to you

I'll be steadfast and true

And my love will never falter



The sea would crash about us

The waves would lash about us

I'll be your Rock of Gibraltar



Sometimes it's hard

And we're both caught off guard

But there's nothing I would ever alter



The wind could howl round our ears

For the next thousand years

I'd still be your Rock of Gibraltar



The best thing I done

Was to make you the one

Who I'd walk with down to the altar



You'd stand by me

And together we'd be

That great, steady Rock of Gibraltar



Under the big yellow moon

On our honeymoon

I took you on a trip to Malta



And all through the night

You held me so tight

Your great, steady Rock of Gibraltar



Could the powers that be

Ever foresee

That things could so utterly alter?



All the plans that we laid

Could soon be betrayed

Betrayed like the Rock of Gibraltar


BRENDA LEE lyrics - I Know A Lot About Love



(B. Channel - H. Bynum)



I know everything there is to know about love,

Except how to make it work

I've been deep in love a dozen times,

And every time I've been hurt



Cause I loved too much I loved too little

Been left out, caught in the middle

Don't know much about togetherness,

Don't know much about happiness

But, I know a lot about love



In spite of all that I've been through,

I still believe in love, until you gave up on me

Like every other dream I'd ever dreamed,

It just wasn't meant to be



Cause I loved too much or I loved too little

Been left out, caught in the middle

Don't know much about togetherness,

Don't know much about happiness

But, I know a lot about love

Oh, I know a lot about love


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Sugar Magnolia



Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care,

Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air.



Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide

We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.



She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,

Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed



She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,

She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.



Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.

She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive.



Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing

I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.



She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,

A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes

indeed.



Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down,

Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander

'round.



Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes

Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,

Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine

Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine.

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Down The Line



(Orbison)



Well you can't be my lovin' baby

You ain't gotta style

I'm gonna get some real good love

Gonna drive those cool cats wild



I'm gonna move, move on down the line

Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine



Oh I'm gonna show you a-way so hot

I'm gonna get what you ain't got

She'll be cool, she'll be wrong

She'll be cool and twice as strong





Gonna roll roll on down the line

Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine



Why! come on now



[Break]



Yeh, Move on down the line

Wanna get some love that's truly fine

She'll be cool, she'll be long

She'll be cool and twice as strong



Gonna roll, roll on down the line

Gonna get some love, a love that's truly fine



Oh let's sing it again one time now



[Break]



Yeh, move on down the line

Wanna get some love that's truly fine

She'll be cool, she'll be long

She'll be cool and twice as strong



Gonna roll, roll on down the line

Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine



Yeh, move (Yeh gonna move)



I'm gonna move (Yeh gonna move)



I'm gonna move (Yeh gonna move)


CAMEL lyrics - Drafted



(Latimer/Hoover)



Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The

postman muttered something about wishing he could go too

and handed over a yellow envelope.

It was a command long overdue that called for healthy,

young men.



In reply to your request,

please find...

I hereby protest.

To the ways and means you use

you know...

I cannot refuse.



So I'll take this vow

of Loyalty.

Fight for the right,

You have said,

To be free.



When this time has run its course,

I must...

Live without remorse.

For the deeds I'm bound to do,

I know...

it's all the same to you.



But I won't forget

the memory...

Taking a life,

for a life...

to be free.


ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - It Won't Work This Time



(Aubrey Holt)



You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin'

Left a note sayin' momma won't be back

But you'll come back and I've got news for you dear

You won't have a home and that's a fact



Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness

Pack your bags and move on down the line

Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry

It's too late babe, and it won't work this time



I've always been around, Lord when you needed someone

I played the role 'til I knew each line by heart

But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate

Someone who'll be glad to play the part



Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness

Pack your bags and move on down the line

Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry

It's too late babe, and it won't work this time



Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness

Pack your bags and move on down the line

Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry

It's too late babe, and it won't work this time


LEO SAYER lyrics - Sea Of Heartbreak



(H. David / P. Hampton)



Oh the lights in the harbour

They don't shine for me

I'm like a lost ship

Adrift on the sea

Sea of heartbreak

Lost love and loneliness

Memories of your caress

So divine

How I wish

You were mine again my dear

I'm on the sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

Oh, how did I lose you

Oh where did I fail

Why did you leave me

Always to sail

Sea of heartbreak

Lost love and loneliness

Memories of your caress

So divine

How I wish

You were mine again my dear

I'm on the sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

Oh what I'd give to sail back to shore

Back to your arms once more



[Solo]



Come to my rescue, oh come here to me

Take me and keep me away from the

Sea of heartbreak

Lost love and loneliness

Memories of your caress

So divine

How I wish you were mine again my dear

I'm on a sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

PAULA ABDUL lyrics - High School Crush



Look out my window

Rain comin' down

Waitin' at the corner

Kids all wearin' their frowns

Just another Monday

Goin' to school

Till you come along

Kickin' your heels

Lookin' my way - makin' me feel real



You made me blush...

You were my high school crush...(ahhhhh)



Billy got married

Lizzy left town

Barrie went to New York City

She's dancin' around

You went off to college to conquer the word

I stayed home

Thinkin' 'bout you

Now you're back, what am I gonna do?



You made me blush...

You were my high school crush...(ahhhhh)



Now give me back my dream

Ooh, how the tables turned

I see your eyes

And I feel the burn



One thing I know for sure

They'll never find a cure

For what I got for you

My love is true



Now you're back

Kickin' your heels

Lookin' my way - makin' me feel real



You made me blush

But that was high school (yea)



I loved you so much

But time is changing all the rules



Enough is enough

This ain't no high school crush

This time now I'm ready to be with you

This ain' no high school crush


FATES WARNING lyrics - Silent Cries



Born to an air of apathy

Indifference shapes a fragile mind.

Questions formed at an early age

beg answers unasked



Silent cries



Behind curious eyes resides

a child who cannot speak.



Silent cries



Years find a mind alone whose

questions flow too deep for words.

Covered in a shroud of silence

watching the world go by



Silent cries



Behind outcast eyes, hides

a child who cannot speak.



Silent cries



Time blindly races on

toward the autumn years

Seasons unheeded pass

while we all drown in tears.



Questions unanswered remain

alone they mourn a fragile mind



Silent cries



Behind lifeless eyes, lies

a child who cannot speak.



Silent cries

Silent cries


JOHN DENVER lyrics - Goodbye Again



It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise.

There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes.

The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone.

And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come,

and it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you.

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?



It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm.

I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms.

I long to kiss your tears away and give you back your smile.

But other voices beckon me and for a little while it's goodbye again,

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?



I have to go and see some friends of mine and some that I don't know,

and some who aren't familiar with my name.

It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand, it's anyone who'll listen to me sing.



If your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?

Do you think if I were always here, our love would be the same?

As it is, the time we have is worth the time alone.

And lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known, and it's goodbye again,

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?


RATT lyrics - Take A Chance



Big deal, that's how you do it, hey!

Good luck and that's enough, yeah

First take, it's never too late

Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



Hard times, it's alright

And you know that I've been through it

Mistakes, we all have made them

'Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



Over and over

Over and over again



You might get lucky (Take a chance)

Forget the rough times (Take a chance)

We'll have to get it straight

'Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



Cheap thrills, that's how you use it, hey!

So hot like it or not, yeah

Too much, I'm on the rocks

'Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



Over and over

Over and over again



You might get lucky (Take a chance)

Forget the rough times (Take a chance)

We'll have to get it straight

'Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



You might get lucky (Take a chance)

Forget the rough times (Take a chance)

We'll have to get it straight

'Cause I've been through it

Why don't we take a chance?



Hey, hey, hey



Cheap thrills, that's how you use it

So hot like it or not



Hey, hey, hey



Over and over

Over and over



Hey, hey, hey



You feel that's how you do it

Good luck, that's enough



Over and over

Over and over

DENIECE WILLIAMS lyrics - It's Gonna Take A Miracle



Loving you so

I was to blind to see

You letting me go

But now that you've set me free

It's gonna take a miracle

Yes, it's gonna take a miracle

To make me love someone new

'Cause I'm crazy for you



Oh, didn't you know

It wouldn't be so easy

You letting me go

You can be sure that now

It's gonna take a miracle

Yes, it's gonna take a miracle

To make me love someone new

'Cause I'm crazy for you



Oh, though I know I can't forget about you

I'm gonna try to show how much

You're turning me around, destroying me

I'll never be the same anymore



You must realize

You took your love and left me

Quite by surprise

You can be sure that now

It's gonna take a miracle

Yes, it's gonna take a miracle

To make me love someone new

'Cause I'm crazy for you



Yes, it's gonna take a miracle

Yes, it's gonna take a miracle

To make me love someone new

'Cause I'm crazy about you..


PULP lyrics - Monday Morning



There's nothing to do so you just stay in bed,

Oh poor thing,

Why live in the world when you can live in your head?



Mmm when you can go out late from Monday,

Till Saturday turns into Sunday,

And now you're back here at Monday,

So we can do it all over again.

And you go aah ah ah

I want a refund,

I want a light,

I want a reason,

To make it through the night, alright.



And so you finally left school,

So now what are you going to do?

Now you're so grown up,

Yeah you're oh oh oh oh oh so mature oh.



Going out late from Monday,

Chuck up in the street on Sunday,

You don't want to live till Monday,

And have to do it all again.

And you go aah ah ah

I want a refund,

I want a light,

I want a reason for all this night after night after night after night.

Oh I know that it's stupid but,

I just can't seem to spend a night at home,

Cos my friends left town,

And I'm here all alone ow.



Oh yeah they say the past must die for the future to be born,

In that case die little mother, die - ooh.

Stomach in,

Chest out,

On your marks,

Get set, go.

Now, now that you're free,

What are you going to be?

And who are you going to see?

And where, where will you go?

And how will you know,

You didn't get it all wrong?

Is this the light of a new day dawning?

A future bright that you can walk in?

No it's just another Monday morning.

Do it all over again, oh baby.

La la la la la la

Do do do do do do


L. L. COOL J lyrics - Candy



[Verse 1: LL Cool J]



When you was seventeen and I was nineteen

we feel deep in love growing up in Queens

we didn't know a thing about love

we was innocent sneakin' on the doorstep to hug

held you tightly and promised you the world

you gave me hickys and said you was my girl

when I think about it now makes me smile

cause I ain't felt these butterflies in a while

funny how you grow up and innocence fades

we used to live for love but now we're afraid (of what?)

of the darkness and bitter memories

lovers who crushed us through infidelity

I promised you I'd love you to the end

always and forever since way back when

you're like candy the world's sweetest friend

you taste better now than you did back then



[Chorus: Bell/Tresvan]



you will always be my candy

one day we will start a family

you will always be my candy girl

(you'll be my candy girl forever)

you will always be my candy

want your love girl understand me

you will always be my candy girl



[Verse 2: LL Cool J]



while you sucked caramel apple lolly pops

rain sleet or snow I'm troopin' up the murdock

we used to walk down the block hold hands

I would get you after school cause I was your man

and any guys that wanna socalize

just know that I'm a flip on any cat that trys

my peeps used to say I was whipped

all your girls said since you got with him you flipped

but uh they couldn't feel the feelings we felt

mirrors on the ceiling we melt

I would look up at ya I remember

the afternoon you surrendered

we made love the tempature was high as could be

you said Todd promise you ain't liein' to me

and as we went our seperate ways you turned back

smiled I remember all that



[Chorus]



[Verse 3: Bell/Tresvant, LL Cool J]



(take it to the bridge)

candy girl

you are my world

look so sweet

you're a special treat

candy gir

all I want to say

I need your love

each and every day



when I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall

and in the back of my mind I hear my memories call

of days when love was true I slept and held you

taste the brown sugar let your climax melt yo

candy you're occupying all of my thoughts

turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught

I can feel you even when you're far away you're right here wit' me

sweet love strictly

and I'm a bend over backwards to keep you on my side

take you for a mental and emotional ride

make love to your soul your heart and your mind

in your hour of need girl I'll be there every time

and as long as you support my dreams

stayin' right beside me as a part of my team

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Dance 'Til We're High



Winters coming

It'll soon will be here

If we knew what it meant

We would take care



Snow is falling

Where the snow falls

If we knew what it meant

We would take care



We would dance

Light up the sky

With your message fly

With your message

Bells will ring out for our love



We can do it

Gonna do it tonight

Sing till we fly together

Dance till we're high together

Dance till we're high together



Write a letter to a new love

Drop a line to a true love

Winters coming

It'll soon be here

If we knew what it meant

We would take care



Shake our heads

We would be there



We would dance

Light up the sky

With your message fly

With your message

Bells will ring out for our love



We can do it

Gonna do it tonight

Sing till we fly together

Dance till we're high together

Gonna do it right now



Light up the sky

With your message fly

With your message

Bells will ring out for our love



We can do it

Gonna do it tonight

Sing till we fly together

Dance till we're high together

Dance till we're high together



Light up the sky

Sing till we fly together

Dance till we're high together

Gonna do it right now


THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Bachelor Boy / When Garry Married Melanie



When I was young my father said "Son I have something to say,"

And what he told me I'll never forget, until my dying day.

He said, "Son you are a bachelor boy

And that's the way to stay, son you are a bachelor boy..."

-huh - I wish I was a bloody bachelor boy



A happy ba-che-lor was he,

But he ain't no more, Gormless Garry

Us he ditched, when he got hitched to a witch and a bitch called... Melanie

Who's that then? Garry, who? - Garry

Slouched on the couch with that cow,

There ain't any doubt there's no escape

Now off his head, contented

Instead he wed, Melanie



[Chorus:]

He said, "I only wanted to stay young"

But the silly sucker, flung his life away

"I only wanted to be free"

And he took no notice o' me

And it's all over now - huh - for Garry



The bag nagged Gaz to have a kid

The most gormless thing Garry ever did

Stuck in a rut, he knows he's a nut, with a pain in the butt called Melanie



[Chorus]



[Guitar bit]



Off his head, off his tree

Garry was a sucker when he married Melanie



[Chorus]

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Please Let Me Wonder



(Brian Wilson/Mike Love)



Now here we are together

This would've been worth waiting forever

I always knew it'd feel this way



And please forgive my shaking

Can't you tell my heart is breaking?

Can't make myself say what I planned to say



Baby

Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



I built all my goals around you

That some day my love would surround you

You'll never know what we've been through



For so long I thought about it

And now I just can't live without it

This beautiful image I have of you



Baby

Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



Please let me wonder

If I've been the one you love

Please let me wonder

If I'm who you're dreaming of

Please let me wonder, love



I love you


SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - If Love Were All



Fate may often treat me meanly

But I keenly pursue

A little mirage in the blue,

Determination helps me through.



Though I never really grumble,

Life's a jumble indeed

And in my efforts to succeed

I've had to formulate a creed.



I believe in doing what I can

In crying when I must

In laughing when I choose

Hey ho, if love were all

I should be lonely.



I believe the more you love a man,

The more you give your trust,

The more you're bound to lose.

Although when shadows fall

I think if only

Somebody splendid really needed me

Someone affectionate and dear

Cares would be ended if I knew that he

Wanted to have me near.



But I believe that since my life began

The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.

Hey ho, if love were all.

Hey ho, if love were all.



Although when shadows fall

I think if only

Somebody splendid really needed me

Someone affectionate and dear

Cares would be ended if I knew that he

Wanted to have me near.



But I believe that since my life began

The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.

Hey ho, if love were all.

Hey ho, if love were all.



Hey ho, if love were all.


LOU REED lyrics - You Wear It So Well



All of those things, yeah, that you got to give

Yeah, you wear it so well

Yeah, you wear it so well



All of those stories, honey, that I know you could tell

Yeah, you wear it so well

And your face hides it, so we can't tell

That you knew, we would wear it so well

You war it so well



Yeah, darling, you wear it so well

Yeah, now, baby, now, you wear it so well



All of the things, that make poets sing

Yeah, you wear it so well, yeah

You hide it so well



And all of the pain, that you used to tell

You hide it so well

Can't tell from your face that you knew it so well

Hey, now, that you have such a story to tell

Yeah, you got style and grace

And you wear it so well, you wear it so well

And you got, you got such a story to tell

Yeah, yeah, you wear it so well

Grace and style equals you so well

Yeah, yeah, you wear it so well, yeah, so well

Yeah, you wear it, wear it, wear it, wear it, now, baby

Yeah, you wear it so well

And you got such a story to tell

Oooh, you wear it so well...

RUSH lyrics - Ghost Rider



Pack up all those phantoms

Shoulder that invisible load

Keep on riding North and West

Haunting that wilderness road

Like a ghost rider



Carry all those phantoms

Through bitter wind and stormy skies

From the desert to the mountain

From the lowest low to the highest high

Like a ghost rider



Keep on riding North and West

Then circle South and East

Show me beauty but there is no peace

For the ghost rider



Shadows on the road behind

Shadows on the road ahead

Nothing can stop you now



There's a shadow on the road behind

There's a shadow on the road ahead

Nothing can stop you now



Sunrise in the mirror

Lightens that invisible load

Riding on a nameless quest

Haunting that wilderness road

Like a ghost rider



Just an escape artist

Racing against the night

A wandering hermit

Racing toward the light



From the white sands

To the canyonlands

To the redwood stands

To the barren lands



Sunrise on the road behind

Sunset on the road ahead

There's nothing to stop you now

Nothing can stop you now


SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Sunrise



(Lyrics and music by Brian Whitcomb and Grant Gullickson, 1977)



Sunrise, warm in your eyes. Blue skies, far as you see.

One day, you'll know what the future means.

And carry your broken dreams through the valley. And rest in their peace.



One fine, beautiful day. You'll find, more than you need.

You'll see, the writing is on the wall. Plainly telling you

It's all waiting for you. It's all there for free.

It's all waiting for you. It's all there for free.



Sunrise, warm in your eyes. Blue skies, far as you see.

One day, you'll know what the future means.

And carry your broken dreams through the valley. And rest in their peace.



It's all waiting for you. It's all there for free.

It's all waiting for you. It's all there for free.

KISS lyrics - All The Way



One, two, three, four



You've got a lot to say

Every night and every sunny day

It's the same thing you've been sayin' to me

Every day



You say it's within your heart

You keep repeatin' that we'll never part

I'm so finally glad to hear you stop

For a day



You just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way



You're wearin' clothes that fit you well

Baby, baby, you're not hard to sell

I'll tell you what you want to hear

For a day



So if you think you need advice

Just come to me, don't compromise

Baby, baby you're hypnotized

Every day



And you just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way



Yes, you just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way



Yes, you just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way



You just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way



You just keep talkin' louder

Complain to your mother and father

One of these days you'll push me all the way


MARILLION lyrics - White Feather



(Dick/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



When I hit the streets back in '81

Found a heart in the gutter and a poet's crown

I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears

Where have I been for all these years?

I saw political intrigue, political lies

Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes



I will wear your white feather

I will carry your white flag

I will swear I have no nation

But I'm proud to own my heart

I will wear your white feather

I will carry your white flag

I will swear I have no nation

But I'm proud to own my heart

My heart, this is my heart



We don't need no uniforms, we have no disguise

Divided we stand, together we'll rise



We will wear your white feather

We will carry your white flag

We will swear we have no nations

But we're proud to own our hearts

We will wear your white feather

We will carry your white flag

We will swear we have no nations

But we're proud to own our hearts

These are our hearts

These are our hearts

You can't take away our hearts

You can't steal our hearts away

I can't walk away

No more

THE EAGLES lyrics - Is It True?



How come you love him when he

Takes you for a fool

He's only lookin' for a good time

How can he love you when he

Treats you mean and cruel

He's not the best thing that you could find

Is it true?

I can't believe it

Is it true?

I just can't see it

Is it true?

Is that you?



When we were young, we didn't really have a care

You were hung up, I had a good line

I never knew it then but, man, I was in love

How could I know it was the right time?

Is it true?

You've lost that feelin'?

Is is true?

You might be leavin'?

Is it true?

Don't wanna find out



Yes, I was so wrong

For leading you on

There wasn't much I could do



I was a wild one, but I can change some

If that's important to you

Is it true - you've lost that feelin'?

Is it true - you might be leavin'?

Is it true?

Is it true?

She's really leavin'

She's really leavin'

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - The Tower



A great lord came walking through the forest

one morning with a weapon in his hand;

Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing,

but killing was his plan;

When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky,

Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone;



Cursing his fortune,

he turned to the forest to kill once again,

And standing before him was a lovely young woman

with her hand hung in pain,

When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire,

He said "I must have her, she must be mine,

She will be mine..."



He offered her silver, he offered her gold,

but she threw it on the ground,

He fell to his knees and he begged her,

"Oh please come with me,

what you wish will be found;"

she said, "Sire, I'll go if you'll put up your bow,

and spare these creatures, leave them in peace,

You have no need..."



But her words were lost in the wind

His eyes were fixed on a queen

And all he saw was a woman

And all she was, was a dream...

Oh oh...And all he saw was a woman, and all she was,

Was a dream...



He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her

to his castle he did ride;

in the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower

and he threw her deep inside;

then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry,

brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down,

Tears on the ground...



All through the days on her face he would gaze,

for she was lovely as the spring;

no words would she speaketh but "Leave them in peace",

and some sad lament she would sing,

Oh one day by the door, through the window he saw

A single white feather lying on the floor.

She was there no more...



Now that great lord is dying,

his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl;

for many an hour he has wept on the Tower

for she meant more than the world;

and once in the sky, a white bird flew by,

he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain

"Come back again..."



But his words were lost in the wind,

His castle was built upon sand,

All he saw was her memory,

And all he yearns is her hand...

Ah ah..All he has, is the memory,

And all he yearns is her hand.


DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Tina



You simply can't forget her

The moment you have met her

Your heart will never ever be the same

Tina, Tina, nobody else but Tina

That's the little lady's name



And once you've gone and kissed her

Give up you can't resist her

Your thoughts will wear her picture like a frame

Tina, Tina, nobody quite like Tina

That's the little lady's name



She'll merely smile and in a twinkling

You'll swear that smile contains a star

Before that smile you had no inkling

How much in love you really are



Let others look for angels

I have no time for angels

I've found someone more than just divine

Tina, Tina, no sir you can't have Tina

Tina is mine all mine, Tina is mine all mine


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Blow Away



A man and a woman come together as strangers

When they part they're usually strangers still

It's like a practical joke played on us by our Maker

Empty bottles that can't be filled



[Chorus]

Baby who's to say it could have been different now that it's done

Baby who's to say that it should have been, anyway

Baby who's to say that it even matters in the long run

Give it just a minute

And it will blow away

It'll blow away



You fancy me to be the master of your feelings

You barely bruise me with your looks to kill

Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings

I never held you against your will



[chorus]



Your case against me is so very clearly stated

I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug

I've come to figure all importance overestimated

You must mean water when you beg for blood (note 1)



[chorus]



Like a feather in a whirlwind

Blow away

Just as sure as the world spins

Blow away

[etc]

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - He Went To Paris



He went to Paris looking for answers

To questions that bothered him so

He was impressive, young and aggressive

Saving the world on his own.

But the warm Summer breezes

The French wines and cheeses

Put his ambition at bay

And Summers and Winters

Scattered like splinters

And four or five years slipped away.



Then he went to England, played the piano

And married an actress named Kim

They had a good life, she was a good wife

Bore him a young son named Jim.

And all of the answers and all of the questions

He locked in his attic one day

'Cause he liked the quiet clean country living

And twenty more years slipped away.



Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady

And left him with only on eye

His body was battered, his world was shattered

And all he could do was just cry.

While the tears were falling, he was recalling

The answers he never found

So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean

And left England without a sound.



Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's

And drinks his green label each day

He's writing his memoirs and losing his hearing

But he don't care what most people say.

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion

If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say

Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic

But I had a good life all the way.



And he went to Paris looking for answers

To questions that bother him so.


ROY ORBISON lyrics - Sweet Mama



(Roy Orbison/Joe Melson/Ray Rush)

Come squeeze me

I know you wan-ta

Sweet mama

Sweet mama

Sweet mama

I need your love



Sweet mama

Come love me

Sweet mama

Come hug me

Sweet mama

I want your love

Sweet mama

You're fine

Sweet mama

You're mine

Sweet mama

I love your love



Sweet mama's like candy

My mama's a real Jim Dandy

Sweet mama

Sweet mama

Sweet mama

Ah, come on sweet mama


RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - March Of The Cosmetic Surgeons



(Richard Thompson)



Act 1, Scene 2, The Clinic of Dr. Krikstein. On a podium, Center,

MRS. RIPSTOCK-GEDDES is posing as Aphrodite, complete with water jug.

Enter Left DR. KRIKSTEIN, followed by his STUDENTS, marching Indian

File to the rhythm of the music



We nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck all day

We liposuck, and we liposuck

And we liposuck, and we liposuck,

And we liposuck all day



Goddess, you are a goddess,

You are a legend, you are a monument

Goddess, you are a goddess,

You are bewitching, you are embodiment

Gone, tired and worn

See woman new born

See how the knife can free her

Who wouldn't want to be her

See her, see her



Once I was old, ugly I was told

Till that blessed day when I met Dr. Krikstein

Now my thighs are firm and thin,

No rolls beneath my chin

And my nose is an ode composed

By the blade of Dr. Krikstein

Dr. Krikstein



"Oh Doctor, what're you going to do with that?"

"Don't worry, my liebe, thass is just the latest rhinoplastic technology.

Just relax, it might hurt a teeny-weeny bit, uh!"

"Ohhhhhhh, oooooooh, ooooh"



We nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck all day

We liposuck, and we liposuck

And we liposuck, and we liposuck,

And we liposuck all day



We stretch and snip, and we stretch and snip

And we stretch and snip, and we stretch and snip

And we stretch and snip all day

We hack and gouge, and we hack and gouge

And we hack and gouge, and we hack and gouge

And we hack and gouge all day



We nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck, and we nip and tuck

And we nip and tuck all day

We liposuck, and we liposuck

And we liposuck, and we liposuck,

And we liposuck all day

STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Different Man



I am a different man

Than you've ever seen me be

I got young though i'm older now

Fear and anger have no power over me



Dug a hole and i did fall in

There i stayed for a while

Who done told to be my saviour

In their pity they done lost all sense of me



Nothing really matters but the love that's in my heart

Long tall sally's standing by me

Many are the friends i have been loyal to a fault

Who have known all along

That there ain't too much good we've done

Feeling shameful for too long

And you ain't bad but you went wrong

We all are sinners

The lord forgives us every one

God forgive every one


NAZARETH lyrics - Greens



Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets

My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet

Wanted to stay but I had to go

Headed for the factory, made myself some dough



[Chorus:]

I said greens is what I mean

Well it don't keep ya warm as lovin'

But it sure pays for that fun in between



Got me some new wheels bright red fast and mean

Felt good drivin' around in that machine

Cruisin' 'round puttin' on a show

Couldn't make the payment the car just had to go



[Chorus]



[lead]



Gotta make some changes, gotta get myself in gear

Thing's are gettin' heavy, I'm cuttin' out of here

Take my woman, make some speed

Don't know where I'm going but I sure know what I need



[Chorus x2]


ROD STEWART lyrics - Jo's Lament



(Rod Stewart)



I stayed away so long Jo

don't think that I could come back

You're doin' so well without me girl

you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at



You knew me when it was all my world

Somehow it's all passed me by

But don't let on to my friends Jo dear

that things ain't turned out as planned



You bore my child then I left you aside

I don't expect you to forgive

But Jo I can say in a funny old way

I was sure that I had it made



I still possess a photograph

my memory to refresh

But fade it may Jo I can say

I was sure that I had it made



You bore my child then I left you aside

I don't expect you to forgive

But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid

to sleep alone for the rest of my days


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Blueberry Hill



(Al Lewis - Larry Stock - Vincent Rose)



I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill on Blueberry Hill when I found you

The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill yeah and linger until my dreams came true

Though wind in the willows plays love's sweet melody

But all of those vows you've made were never to be

Though we're apart you're a part of me still

For you are my thrill mhm on Blueberry Hill Blueberry Hill

Though wind in the willows...

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - The Big Light



Well I had a little feeling to have a big night

And I woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right

I had to face the who am I and where is she and what did I do

But worst of all I had to face the big light



[Chorus:]

The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids

And it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I did

I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications

And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration



When the hangover this morning had a personality

And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories

I didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never see

The Haggard face that would be staring back at me



[Chorus]



Well I had a little feeling to have a big time

And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime

I had to face the who am I and who is she and what did I do

But worst of all I had to face the big light



[Chorus]

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Skyscraper



I can hear the sound

Of the North Star calling

Put your high beams on

Stay on my wing

I'm falling

And spinning and turning

This is ultra-glide

The beginnings of great things

Cannot be seen

By your naked eye



Can you see me kow crack the skies like lightnin'

Mama's little sonic boom

Is simply frighteninig

I'm a skyscraper



Float like a buttuerfly

Acrobatic

Sting like a B-52

Dramatic

And the radar locks on you

No static



Can I reach it now

I'm not up here often

God only knows

And he ain! t talkin'

I'm a skyscraper.


HANK WILLIAMS, JR. lyrics - Family Tradition



Country music singers have been a real close family,

But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me.

I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction.

Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition.



They get on me and want to know Hank why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Over and over everybody makes my predictions.

So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition.



I am very proud of my daddy's name

All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same.

Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position.

If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition.



So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction.

I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition.



Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam

And they both tried to kill me in 1973.

When that doctor asked me, Son how did you get in this condition?

I said, hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition.



So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position.

If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition!


KINGDOM COME lyrics - High On Love



Can't believe how much I love you

I just hope that you love me to

I do, I do, I do



When you're gone it's so hard to breathe

Can't deny that it's you I need

It's true, I do, it's true



[Chorus:]

Gonna get high on love

Gonna get high on all your love

As long as you're mine, I know

No one can break me down, it shows



Love your smile and the way you talk

Love your eyes and the way you walk

I do, I do



I'll surrender, I'll give up

Need your kisses and soothing touch

I do, I do, yeah, I do


LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - None Of Us Are Free



(Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Brenda Russell)



You better listen my brother

'Cause if you do you can hear

There are voices still callin' from across the years

And they're cryin' across the ocean

And they're cryin' across the land

And they will until we all come to understand



That none of us are free

None of us are free

None of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free



Well there are people in the darkness

And they just can't see the light

And if we don't say it's wrong then that says it's right

We got to feel for each other

Let our brothers know we're here

Got to get the message and send it out loud and clear



That none of us are free

None of us are free

None of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free

Well it's the single truth

We all need to see

That none of are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free



Well I swear to you salvation isn't very hard to find

None of us can find it on our own

We got to join together. Spirit, heart and mind

All the are suffering, knows they're not alone



None of us are free

None of us are free



If you just look around you

You're see what I say

'Cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day

Now it's time to make some changes

Now it's time all realized

That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes



'Cause none of us are free

None of us are free

None of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free



Well it's the very heart of humanity

'Cause none of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free



None of us, none of us

None of us, none of us

None of us, none of us are free



None of us, none of us

None of us, none of us

None of us, none of us are free



None of us are free

None of us are free

None of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free

'Cause it's the very truth

We all need to see

That none of us are free if one of us is chained

None of us are free

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Forever Man



(Jerry Lynn Williams)



How many times must I tell you babe,

How many bridges I've got to cross?

How many times must I explain myself

Before I can talk to the boss,

'Fore I can talk to the boss?



How many times must I say I love you

Before you finally understand?

Won't you be my forever woman?

I'll try to be your forever man,

Try to be your forever man.



[Repeat Second Verse]



Forever man, forever man, forever man.

Forever man, forever man, forever man.

Try to be your forever man.



Forever man, forever man, forever man.

Forever man, forever man, forever man.

Try to be your forever man.


TOM WAITS lyrics - Jockey Full Of Bourbon



Edna Million in a drop dead suit

Dutch pink pink on a downtown train

Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot

I'm in the corner in the pouring rain

16 men on a deadman's chest

And I've been drinking from a broken cup

2 pairs of pants and a mother vest

I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up.



Chorus:

Hey little bird, fly away home

Your house is on fire; your children are alone

Hey little bird, fly away home

Your house is on fire; your children are alone

Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head

And I've been stepping on the devil's tail

Across the stripes of full moon's head

Through the bars of a Cuban jail

Bloody fingers on a purple knife

A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass

I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife

Come admire the view from up on top of the mast



Chorus



Yellow sheets in Hong Kong bed

Stazybo horn and a Singerland ride

To the carnival is what she said

A hundred dollars makes it dark inside.

Repeat First Verse and Chorus

CURTIS MAYFIELD lyrics - Need To Belong To Someone



(Curtis Mayfield)



Wo oh oh oh (need to belong) yeah, (to someone)

M hm hm hm (need to belong)hm hm hm hm hm (to someone)



I need to belong to someone

It hurts to be known as no one

Will ever some sweet girl

Bring love into my world, cause

I wanna be kissed and held tight

Want to be missed on a cold lonely night

Somebody hear my plea and call out to me, cause

I need to belong to someone



Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

No one cares for me, I've never known sympathy

I hide my needs from the world with a smile

But understand, I'm only a man and a man

(needs to belong) yes he does (to someone)

A man hates to be known as no one

Will ever some sweet girl, bring love into my world, because

I need to belong to someone



Oh, I hide my needs, from the world with a smile

But understand, I'm only a man, and a man needs (needs to belong)

To belong, (to someone) to someone

A man hates to be known, as no one

Oh send me a girl, to bring love into my world, cause

VIKKI CARR lyrics - It Must Be Him



I tell myself what's done is done

I tell myself don't be a fool

Play the field have a lot of fun

It's easy when you play it cool



I tell myself don't be a chump

Who cares, let him stay away

That's when the phone rings and I jump

And as I grab the phone I pray



Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him or I shall die

Or I shall die

Oh hello, hello my dear God

It must be him but it's not him

And then I die

That's when I die



After a while, I'm myself again

I take the pieces off the floor

Put my heart on the shelf again

You'll never hurt me anymore



I'm not a puppet on a string

I'll find somebody else someday

That's when the phone rings, and once again

I start to pray



Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him, it must be him

or I shall die, Or I shall die

Oh hello, hello my dear God

It must be him but it's not him

And then I die

That's when I die


THE PROCLAIMERS lyrics - Slowburner



Keep on a slow burner

From Monday till Friday

Keep on a slow burner

Ank I'll take its place



Stay lonely, for four midnights

Till I'm holding you tight

Keep on a slow burner

And I'll take its place



Keep on a slow burner

From Monday till Friday

Keep on a slow burner

I'll take its place



Work hard now

But not too much

Don't damage your soft touch

Keep on a slow burner

And I'll take its place



Keep on a slow burner

From Monday till Friday

Keep on a slow burner

Ank I'll take its place


N. W.A. lyrics - Fuck Tha Police



Right about now, NWA court is in full effect.

Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.

Prosecuting attourneys are MC Ren, Ice Cube, and Eazy muthafuckin E.

Order, order, order. Ice Cube, take the muthafuckin stand.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth

And nothin but the truth so help your black ass?

(You're goddamn right!)

Why don't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?



Fuck tha police

Comin straight from the underground

Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown

And not the other color so police think

They have the authority to kill a minority



Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one

For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun

To be beatin on, and throwin in jail

We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell



Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager

With a little bit of gold and a pager

Searchin my car, lookin for the product

Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics



You'd rather see me in the pen

Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo

Beat tha police outta shape

And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape

To tape off the scene of the slaughter

Still can't swallow bread and water



I don't know if they fags or what

Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts

And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none

But don't let it be a black and a white one

Cuz they slam ya down to the street top

Black police showin out for the white cop



Ice Cube will swarm

On any muthafucka in a blue uniform

Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me

A young nigga on a warpath

And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath

Of cops, dyin in LA

Yo Dre, I got somethin to say



Fuck the police [4x]



(Example of scene one:

(Pull your goddamn ass over right now.)

(Ah shit, what the fuck you pullin me over for?)

(Cuz I feel like it. Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the fuck up.)

(Man, fuck this shit.)

(Alright smartass, I'm takin' your black ass to jail.)

M. C. Ren, will you please give your testimony to the jury about this fucked up

Incident.)



Fuck tha police and Ren said it with authority

Because the niggaz on the street is a majority.

A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping

And the motherfuckin' weapon

Is kept in a stash box, for the so-called law

Wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw



Lights start flashin behind me

But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me

But that shit don't work, I just laugh

Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path



To the police I'm sayin fuck you punk

Readin my rights and shit, it's all junk

Pullin out a silly club, so you stand

With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand



But take off the gun so you can see what's up

And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fuck you up



Make ya think I'm a kick your ass

But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast

I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime

But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time



Smoke any muthafucka that sweats me

Or any assho that threatens me

I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope

Takin out a cop or two, they can't cope with me



The muthafuckin villian that's mad

With potential to get bad as fuck

So I'm a turn it around

Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound

Ya, somethin like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat



Takin out a police would make my day

But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say



Fuck the police [4x]



(Yo, man, what you need?

Police, open now. We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest.

Get down and put your hands up where I can see em.

Just shut the fuck up and get your muthafuckin ass on the floor.

[huh?])



(Yo Eazy-E, why don't you step up to the stand

And tell the jury how you feel abou this bullshit.)



I'm tired of the muthafuckin jackin

Sweatin my gang while I'm chillin in the shackin

Shining tha light in my face, and for what

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt



I kick ass, or maybe cuz I blast

On a stupid assed nigga when I'm playin with the trigga

Of any Uzi or an AK

Cuz the police always got somethin stupid to say



They put up my picture with silence

Cuz my identity by itself causes violence

The E with the criminal behavior

Yeah, I'm a gansta, but still I got flavor



Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?

A sucka in a uniform waitin to get shot,

By me, or another nigga.

And with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger

[MC Ren: Size don't mean shit, he's from the old school, fool]



And as you all know, E's here to rule

Whenever I'm rollin, keep lookin in the mirror

And there's no cue, yo, so I can hear a

Dumb muthafucka with a gun



And if I'm rollin off the 8, he'll be tha one

That I take out, and then get away

And while I'm drivin off laughin

This is what I'll say



Fuck the police [4x]



(The verdict.

The jury has found you guilty of bein a redneck,

Whitebread, chickenshit muthafucka.

Wait, that's a lie. That's a goddamn lie.

I want justice! I want justice!

Fuck you, you black muthafucka!)



Fuck the police [3x]


MANOWAR lyrics - Pleasure Slave



She Is Waiting To Kiss My Hand

But She Will Wait For My Command

My Chains And Collar Brought Her To Her Knees

She Now Is Free To Please



Woman Be My Slave

That's Your Reason To Live

Woman Be My Slave

The Greatest Gift I Can Give

Woman Be My Slave



Before Her Surrender She Had No Life

Now She's A Slave Not A Wife

Her Only Sorrow Is For Women Who Live With Lies

She's Taken Off Her Disguise



Woman Be My Slave

Chained Unto My Bed

Woman Be My Slave

Begging To Be Fed



Your Body Belongs To Me



Woman Come Here

Remove Your Garments

Kneel Before Me

Please Me



Woman Be My Slave

Chained Unto My Bed

Woman Be My Slave

Begging To Be Fed



I Want You Now



Woman Be My Slave


CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG lyrics - That Girl



(Stephen Stills, Joe Vitale & Bob Glaub)



I can't stop thinking 'bout her

`Cos she's mighty fine and I would be lying

If I didn't speak up now,

Say what's on my mind, almost any old time.



I'm ready to choose that girl

I couldn't refuse that girl

You'd better not lose that girl

I just might let myself fall in love

That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.



So many years you've been a true friend of mine,

But I draw the line and I ain't gonna run no number

But you gotta know if you let her go



I'm ready to choose that girl

I couldn't refuse that girl

You'd better not lose that girl

I just might let myself fall in love

That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.



Can't you see, we gotta get to know

How far this can go

You and me we gotta get it right

`Cos this ain't love at first sight



I want you to understand that I can't help myself.

And I'm gonna be right there with you

Only time will tell if it was only me that fell.



I'm ready to choose that girl

I couldn't refuse that girl

You'd better not lose that girl

I just might let myself fall in love

That girl is all the woman I'm dreaming of.



(Choose that girl, refuse that girl, lose that girl.)

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Smooth Dancer



Black suede, don't mean you're good for me

Black suede, just brings your mystery

I want to be inside of you

But you're black and I don't know what to do



You're a smooth dancer

But it's alright

Cos I'm a freelancer

And you can never break me though you try

To make me think you're magical



Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun

Because it don't shine nightly

Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free

You'd better hang on tightly

You wanna rule the world, but you're acting like a girl

Who's got a false pregnancy

You've swollen up inside with nothing but your pride

And yet you keep on dancing



Black suede, don't waste your time on me

Black suede, I sense your mockery

I tried to go along with you

But you're black and I know just what to do



You're a smooth dancer

But it's alright

Cos I'm a freelancer

And you can never break me though you try

To make me think you're magical



I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways

They don't bother me none

You'd better do it right because one day or night

I'm gonna walk to freedom

You know I loved you once and I wanna love again

But you don't give nothing

You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize

Baby, I ain't bluffing



Black suede, don't waste your time on me

Black suede, don't bring me misery

I tried to be inside of you

But you're black and now I know what to do



You're a smooth dancer

But it's alright

Cos I'm a freelancer

And I can tell you're faking though you try

To make me think you're magical



Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun

Bacause it don't shine nightly

Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free

You'd better hang on tightly

You know I loved you once and I wanna love again

But you don't give nothing

You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize

Baby, I ain't bluffing

Baby, you can rock'n'roll

But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer


SLADE lyrics - Angelina



(Innes)



I don't wanna do you no harm

But sometimes I feel the weight of the world

It's so heavy and it's bringing me down

And I need you, I need you, girl



Come little Angelina

I don't wanna do you no harm

Take me where the grass is greener

Take me where the sea is calm



All I want is you

Take me in your arms and give me love

(Hoo shoo shoo come) 4x

All I want is you

Take me in your arms and give me love



Angelina, Angelina, love me, love me

Angelina, Angelina, love me, wanna love you



Come little Angelina

Don't want that you hurt me

Take me where the air is cleaner

Take me where the wind blows free



All I want is you

Take me in your arms and give me love

Give me love Give me love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Give me love Give me love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Need your love

Want your love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Hey, All I want is you

Take me in your arms and give me love

I need your love Need your love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Every day and every now

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Want your love Want your love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)

Hey, All I want is you

Take me in your arms and give me love

(Hoo shoo shoo come)...


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - On The Beach



(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Bloss)



This is our place

In the free and open air

Under starry skies

By the endless sea

In an endless chain

We are locked together

I became a star

You were my creator

Never have we been closer than tonight

U & I when our shadows crossed the light

Never have we walked

Further wondrous ways

And this is where we stand

Here on the beach



And I'm tolling my bell

In the fog 2 let u know

I'm here by your side

In this madness called life

Though the knights have all gone

And we lowered our flags

I sing you this song as the tides wash the sands

On the beach

Take my hand like I once took yours

Look me in the eye like i once looked in yours

Here we go again, speaking in strange codes

Reading all the stars

Like an open book

On the beach


LOU REED lyrics - Gimmie Some Good Times



Hey, if that ain't the rock'n'roll animal himself, what you doing bro.

(Standing on the corner)

Well, I can see that, what you got in your hand

(Suitcase in my hand)

No, shit, what's this

(Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest)

Fucking faggot Johnson

(Jack, sweet Jane, I'm in a rock'n'roll band)

Well, I can see that



Some people say that you can't - (no no no)

No matter how good you are

And some people say, they can't move - (no no no)

No matter where they are



Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain

No matter how ugly you are

You know to me it all looks the same



Rain from the morning in the blue clouds

Now just shining up with dew

Riding through the city in their big cars

And me, I ain't got nothing to do



Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain

Don't you know things always look ugly

To me they always look the same



Oh, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times

Oh, Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain

Don't you know that most things look ugly

To me they always look the same



Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know

To me they always look the same

Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know

To me they always look the same

Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know

To me they always look the same

Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know

To me they always look the same


BEE GEES lyrics - Songbird



Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open

And the wind is waiting for you like an open door



Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well

You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are

When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly

I wonder if he ever will - and if he really did, how far



Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open

And the wind is waiting for you like an open door



Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well

You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are

When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly

I wonder if he ever will - and if he really did, how far



Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, through the open door



Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong my bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before



Like you did befo


SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Live To Love You



The situation's clear

It's fine as long as you are here

Of that I'm really sure

I will live to love you more



The say you drag me down

They try to tell me your around

Just to even up a score

But I will live to love you more



And the say I've been blind

That you deceive me every time

And soon our love will end

But i will live to love you again



So what if they can't see

You know I'll love endlessly

And this they can't ignore

I will live to love you more



I know they're only rumors

Altough they say the truth hurts

I don't need to hear lies

And fantasize you leaving me



But when I think it all over

And over and over

I still want you around me

You know you astound me

I couldn't live without you



If there's a price to pay

It's worth it just to hear you say

All their lies ere just a bore

I will live to love you more and more



You know where my heart is

With you alone

My every thought is

I will live to love you more

GARY MOORE lyrics - Like Angels



In every heart a story is told.

There's a way you can believe in forever.

In every life the story unfolds,

like a mystery for you to see

and tear away the mask.



Hold on to your dreams,

learn how to fly like angels.

Hold on to your dreams,

soaring above, wings of love.



In every tear a lesson to learn.

There's a way you can believe in forever.

Time never hears the reasons we give.

It just marches on until it's gone,

forever and a day.



Hold on to your dreams,

learn how to fly like angels.

Hold on to your dreams,

soaring above, wings of love.



Hold on to your dreams,

learn how to fly like angels.

Hold on to your dreams,

soaring above, wings of love.



Hold on to your dreams,

learn how to fly like angels.

Soaring high above,

wings made from love.


THE SUPREMES lyrics - You Didn't Care



(Clarence Paul)



You didn't care

Or you wouldn't have walked away

I realize now you must care less every day

Like a fool I gave you all my love

I didn't know

You didn't care



It's not too late

To reconsider or change your mind

If you want to

Only you can end this hurt in my heart



It's in your eyes

The way you look at me

They say our love now

Was never meant to be



I just cried

You looked at me and laughed

Then I knew, I knew

You didn't care



I just cried

You turned and walked away

Then I knew, I knew

You didn't care


RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Dad's Gonna Kill Me



(Richard Thompson)



Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead

Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head

Another day that could have been me there instead

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here



Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me



You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces

With every bullet your risk increases

Old Ali Baba, he's a different species

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here



Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me



I'm dead meat in my HumV Frankenstein

I hit the road block, God knows I never hit the mine

The dice rolled and I got lucky this time



Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me



I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way

I might get home if I can live through today

Before I came out here I never used to pray

Nobody loves me here

Nobody loves me here



Dad's Gonna Kill Me



Dad's in a bad mood, Dad's got the blues

It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose

At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News

Nobody loves me here



Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's Gonna Kill Me



Dawn Patrol went out and didn't come back

Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac

Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack



Dad's Gonna Kill Me.



And who's that stranger walking in my dreams

And whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart

And who's that stranger, I dare speak his name

Must be old Death a-walking

Must be old Death a-walking



Dad's Gonna Kill Me



7 muzzle monkeys standing in a row

Standing waiting for The Sandbox to blow

Sitting targets in the wild west show



Nobody loves me here



Dad's Gonna Kill Me



Another angel got his wings this week

Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete

Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak



Dad's Gonna Kill Me


CARLY SIMON lyrics - After The Storm



(Carly Simon)



Heat's up, tea's brewed

Clothes strewn around the room

Looks like a wind swept through

Made a wild man out of you

And doesn't anger turn you on

And expectation of a calm

After the storm

And your body feels so warm

After the storm



The wind's pulling the moon down

under the eiderdown

You're taking me to town

And you're tossing me around

You come on like a hurricane

I'm settling like youre weathervane

After the storm

And your body feels so warm

After the storm


FOREIGNER lyrics - When The Night Comes Down



Jimmy got lost, in a schoolboy phase

You see the lines got crossed, at a young and tender age

He dropped out of school, and the new crowd he'd meet

He left his broken home, for a new life, out on the street



See the young boys laugh, gettin' high on a midnight run

They've got it all figure out, they don't need no help

from anyone



Jimmy never knew real love in his heart

No feelings remain

Somehow he knew he'd never be a part

So alone with his pain



When the night comes down

Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories

When the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

They're runnin' in the night



See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone

And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own

And the church bells ring, and the lord is praised

But they ain't got time for Jimmy, on their holy, holy days



Jimmy never felt real love in his heart

No feelings remain

Somehow he knew he'd never be a part

So alone with his pain



When the night comes down

Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories

When the night comes down

They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory

When the night comes down

Its a cold hearted town, nothin' but a battleground

And they're runnin' out of hope, ooh, when the night

comes down

On this battleground

So many, so many sad, sad stories

You can see it every night

When the night comes down

See the young boy cry
