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
I'll take you where the average man can only dream of
cause in a world so sour I got the sweetest love

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)
Sweet mama
Come love me
Sweet mama
Come hug me
Sweet mama
I want your love

Come hold me
Sweet mama
Don't scold me

I need your love
Sweet mama
I love mama
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 need to belong to someone (m hm hm hm hm hm hm)
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

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
