COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Fifty-Fifty Clown
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Oh, and you're a lone shadow
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
[x2]
Smile and face your wife angry
His life don't despise what's in eyes
He skips so as the seasons
To come as a breeze has
Again, ahead
We'll rust, our nose dust
A fine gard with pleased and, oh its true
Hill can't comfort the brain
He must come as he was
Again, ahead
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
Good morning myth to somebody I call in light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are

But can't you see now woman
The kindness of a man
I'd like to see that something, in all men
I'd like to see you watch him
As if he were from Mars
I like your whole expression
Of fear and awe
Suis l'hotesse

Now can't you see he's lonely
He's looking forsome warmth
He's really not much different
From all men
He's not looking for trouble
'Cause that is not his plan
He just dreams of becoming
A real man
Ideomatic for me
Looking for you
Ide-o-matic
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - No More Lonely Nights
I can wait another day until I call you
You've only got my heart on a string
And everything a'flutter
But another lonely night might take forever
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love
'Cause I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (never be another)
No more lonely nights
You my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
Yes, I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (never be another)
No more lonely nights
You my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
No more lonely nights
LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - Letter
(Conway Twitty - Charles Haney)
Today I saw her for the first time since she left me
And she said I've got a favor to ask of ye and I said all right what is it
And she said you know you always told me
If I ever needed any help just to ask you and you'd help me
And I said yeah I remember and she said
Well there's this fellow that I've been going with
And I just found out that he's been slipping around me
And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter
And tell me that you miss me and that you still love me
That he may find it and it might greed it
And it might make him jealous and I might not lose it
And I said OK I'll write you the letter
Dear sweetheart just a line to let you know
That I still think about ye and I still love you so
I remember your kisses and every time you held me tight
But most of all I remember the good times that we had each night
Dear sweetheart if you're lonely just let me know
For you're still my one and only and I still love you so
I'm gonna close for now sweetheart and try to go on without you
But don't forget I'll always love you no matter what you do
So now I've written the letter the way you've asked me to
And I hope it makes him jealous the way you want it to
For I've told you I still love you and I wanna be with you
But you know sweetheart the saddest part I'm not pretending for I still do

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - It Wasn't A Pretty Picture
Last nite a whore - found murdered in the streets...
The skid row bums are just waking up
A politician, caught holding drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.
No-one said life would be easy,
Doesn't mean that much to me-
A crash-a bash-up on Highway 109
His wife has left him for another man
A kid, a child experiments with drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.
No-one said life would be easy,
No-one said life would be easy,
Doesn't mean that much to me-
A crash-a bash-up on Highway 109
His wife has left him for another man
A kid, a child experiments with drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.
THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Standin' On The Road
Southbound on the "I"
A lady of the West Wind she was calling to me"
I put it all out on the line"
But we didn't know what we were after - no
Hangin on the edge"
Isn't what I had in mind when I was lonely"
Woah, no"
But it crept up from behind"
And before I knew it I was on my way down - yeah
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
When I saw that I was blind"
Well she looked into my eyes"
I knew the reason"
But I wouldn't leave well enough alone"
I had to play the fool and keep on.. "
A-keep on pushin - yeah
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
Oooo.. I really thought she was the one"
Something so strong"
Like I've never, never known"
Carried me so far.. so far gone
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
She left me standin' on the road"
She left me standin' on the road"
standin'"
standin'"
She left me standin'"
standin' on the road"
Yeah"
She left me standin' on that road"
standin' on the road
GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I'm All Behind You Know
Leavin' me behind is all behind you now
It's plain to see that you're for good over me
You've gotta whole new life ahead of you
You did waht you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now
And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know
You're comin' back
My way will come my way again
I'll never be what I was with you and me
And I don't know who or where your goin' to
But you did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now
And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know
Yeah it tears me up to know deep down
I'm all behind you know

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - I'll Be Home For Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
THE NIPS lyrics - Ghostown
I've decided, this is no place to hang around
Can't get excited, I don't like living in this town
Don't wanna stay here, with all the dead
Everybody's so boring, its late and they're in bed
And everybody I know has been dead in the head for years
They can't laugh or swear, can't even cry no tears
Don't wanna stay here with all the dead
Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads
And all the old men go down the pub
And all the young men smoke dope and listen to dub
And it's a London office job or a Richmond factory
You know they're gonna get you boy, but they'll never ever ever get me
'Cause I can't stand it and I ain't gonna hang around
If I had a chance I'd burn this shithole to the ground
Don't wanna stay here with all the dead
Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads
And we're living and dying and I don't know why
It's just that they're senseless, underneath the English sky
I'm gonna go to the smoke and leave it all behind
I'm gonna get away from here before I lose my mind
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown
We're living in a ghostown

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - I Just Want To Dance With You
I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late
I don't care what they say other lovers do,
I just want to dance with you.
I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine.
If we have a chance to make one heart of two,
I just want to dance with you.
[Chorus:]
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That's what they invented dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.
I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you,
Yes I did, ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do,
I just want to dance with you.
Oh the boys are playin' softly and the girls are too,
So am I and so are you.
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue,
I just want to dance with you.
[Chorus]
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you.

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Another Christmas Song
Hope everybody's ringing on their own bell, this fine morning.
Hope everyone's connected to that long distance phone.
Old man, he's a mountain.
Old man, he's an island.
Old man, he's a-walking says
``I'm going to call, call all my children home.''
Hope everybody's dancing to their own drum this fine morning ---
the beat of distant Africa or a Polish factory town.
Old man, he's calling for his supper.
Calling for his whisky.
Calling for his sons and daughters, yeah ---
calling all his children round.
Sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming.
Mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory.
Everyone is from somewhere ---
even if you've never been there.
So take a minute to remember the part of you
that might be the old man calling me.
How many wars you're fighting out there, this winter's morning?
Maybe it's always time for another Christmas song.
Old man he's asleep now.
Got appointments to keep now.
Dreaming of his sons and daughters, and proving ---
proving that the blood is strong.
HEART lyrics - Love Alive
The Sky was dark this morning
When I raised my head
I stood at the window -
Darkness was my bane
Suddenly a sunbeam arch
Thrilled me to my weary heart
It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen
I knew I had to keep my Love
Keep my Love alive
Keep my Love - Keep my Love live
Baby I want you to roll me
Hold me in your love
No more habits, promises and jive
Ever since I was a baby girl
Wanted one thing most in this world
It was to Keep My Love -
Keep My Love alive
I want to keep my Love -
Keep my Love alive
Keep my Love - keep my love alive
You're up there under the spotlight
Your silver trophy shines
With all you got, my lord!
You must get high
You need a whole lot more than money
You need more than to survive
You need to keep your Love
Keep your Love alive
THE CURE lyrics - It Used To Be Me
All he needs is everyone I've been
And all she needs is everywhere I've seen
All they need
Anything I've touched
And all you need is everything I've loved
Everything I've heard everything I've learned
Everything I've tried everything I've held
Everything I've felt everything I've lost
Everything I've cried
Until my whole head shrieks with grinding my teeth
Struggling to find a single word I can keep
Any kind of truth
Any kind of hope
Oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me choke
But I keep saying I will and I won't
I keep saying I do and I don't
I keep saying I feel
But there is nothing to feel
Just a strange kind of nothing where it used to be me...
It used to be me
All he needs from me is everyone I've ever missed
And all she needs from me
Everyone I've ever kissed
All they need from me
Anything I've ever sung
Yeah and all you need from me is everything I've ever said
Everything I've ever done everything I've ever made
Everything I've ever prayed everything I've ever believed
Everything I've ever touched everything I've ever loved
Everything I've ever thought everything I've ever dreamed
Until my whole head screams with grinding my teeth
Desperate to find a single word I can keep
Any kind of faith
Any kind of fix
Oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me sick
And I keep saying I will but I won't
I keep saying I do but I don't
And I keep saying I feel
But there is nothing to feel
Just this strange kind of nothing where it used to be me...
Anything and everything
All that you need
Get it for free
Anything and everything
All that you need
Get it from me
Get it from me
Get it from me
Get it from me
DIO lyrics - Golden Rules
Hush now children - lullaby
Steal what you can't borrow
Oh how brave you are
And your world has
Come so far
Are you saved
Have you been told
Right is the enemy
Too bad, too late
Write this down
(I) don't believe in sanity???
Or reading the instructions
Throw 'em all away, hey
Golden rules, Sunday school
Crazy
Wheels go round
Angry machines, designing your destiny
Digital dreams, with no heart, no soul
Golden rules, Sunday school
You're all crazy now
Here's the situation
The rest are gettin' pretty
You're melting in the city
Father says to mother
Yeah, if you really wanna trash it
Go ahead and smash it
Are you saved
Now when you go to sleep tonight
One way or another
If you don't die before you wake
Do it unto others
Golden rules, made more fools
Sunday school, you're all crazy
Hush now children
Don't you cry
We've just killed tomorrow
How sad you are
That your world has gone too far
DIANNE REEVES lyrics - Skylark
Skylark
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Oh skylark
Have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music
Faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there
Oh skylark
Won't you lead me there?
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music
Faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON I lyrics - Down South
(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))
Now an' I'm goin' back down South
Man, where the weather suits my clothes
Now I done fooled around in Chicago
Yeah, an' I got done almost froze
Now that I done fooled around in Chicago
Lord, I done almost froze
Lord, my baby, my baby
She don't treat me good no mo'
Now I know the reason she don't love me
She's wild about Mister So an' So
Now I know the reason she don't love me
She's wild about Mister So an' So
Now an' I know my baby
Mm I know, Miss Lacey, wanna see me now
Because my baby she didn't want me
To come way back up here, no how
Lord, my baby she didn't want me
To come way back up here, no how
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Where Am I Going?
(D. Fields & C. Coleman)
Where am I going?
And what will I find?
What's in this grab bag
That I cal I my mind?
What am I doing
Alone on the shelf?
Ain't it a shame,
But no one's to blame but myself.
Which way is clear
When you've lost your way
Year after year?
Do I keep falling in love for just a kick of it?
Staggering through the thin and thick of it,
Hating each old, tired trick of it,
Know what I am,
I'm good and sick of it!
Where em I going?
Why do I care?
Run where it's foul,
Run where it's fair,
No matter where I run I meet myself there.
Looking inside me, what do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt,
What em I all about?
And where am I going?
Tell me why do I care?
No matter where I run I meet myself there
Looking inside me, what do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt
What am I al I about?
And where am I going?
Where am I going?

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Rudiger
Rudiger stands in the rain and the snow
Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone knows
Rudiger lives in a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning of being alone
Rudiger works as a clerk in the town
Music or politics
Rudiger gets his kicks
He gets information then he comes around
Rudiger waits at the hall in Berlin
He waits there all night
Security's tight
They know who he is but they don't let him in
Rudiger waits in the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your name's in the paper so Rudiger's there
GENE CHANDLER lyrics - Groovy Situation
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Good evening sweet darling
May I ask your name
You seem to be lonely
Well don't worry I'm feeling the same
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
It's been a long time sweet darling
Since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say
Oh, it's a groovy situation
And splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
Oh, it's a groovy situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh, it's a groovy situation
And splendid combination
You're something that

Baby, baby
It's a groovy situation
And splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
Oh, it's a groovy situation
And splendid combination
You're something that
I just can't miss
RICKY NELSON lyrics - Travelin' Man
I'm a travelin' man
Made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo
Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sand of Waikiki
And I held you, oh, so tight
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sand of Waikiki
And I held you, oh, so tight
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Whoa, I'm a travelin' man

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Lovedrive
(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)
A girl to drive a car to love
The music rocks me down the motorway
My whore's got wings we're taking off
And I can't stop this flight of speed today
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe
The city lights of London town
Are far away my hand is on her wing (on her wing)
I stop the car and she gets down
I'd like to show why Scorpions got a sting
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe
It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy baby
It's a lovedrive
FRANKIE LAINE lyrics - Jezebel
(Wayne Shanklin)
Jezebel, Jezebel
If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you
Jezebel, it was you
If ever an angel fell
Jezebel, it was you
Jezebel, it was you
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leavin' me blue
Jezebel, it was you
If ever the devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you
Jezebel, it was you
Could be better that I never know
A lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all
For the siren call of your arms
Like a demon, love possessed me
You obsessed me constantly
What evil star is mine
That my fate's design
Should be, Jezebel
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leavin' me blue
Jezebel, it was you
If ever the devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you
Night and day, every way
Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Potential New Boyfriend
(Steve Kipner/John Lewis Parker)
Got my eye on a boy
He's eyeing me back
It's looking real good
This could be it
And I know that all of you girls
Would love to steal him away
He bought me a drink
I thanked him real sweet
It's always so nice when you first meet
And I know that all of you women would love to steal him away
So I'm warning you
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Building up an appetite
You can look but you can't buy
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Pretty as a picture
Comin' on so strong
He's twisting my ignition key
Turn my motor on
But anyone can see, all his attention's on me
Give us some privacy
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Better keep your hands off my
It's a welcome turn to try
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Leave us alone tonight
Then if it don't work out right
He's all your's
Until then
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
They keep crowdin' in on me
He smiles rather unsuspiciously
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Building up an appetite
You can look but you can't buy
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
THE CHURCH lyrics - Unified Field
Your money is so pretty
It's too beautiful to spend
Evening is so magical
Too elaborate to end
The air here is so sweet
It's much too pure to breathe
It's already over
I don't want to leave
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your scenery is unusual
It's too elusive for me to view
Your food is just delicious
But I can't eat it like you do
Darkness all around us
It's the only thing I see
The music is so sacred
It can never get me free
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore
Your energy exhausts me
It drives you like a lash
Your enthusiasm's contagious
Covers me like a rash
Your gravity supports me
It guides me through the crash
Unified field
No one here is gonna yield
No one here you've seen before
Magnetic strip
Pull me further in its grip
No one here you can't adore

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - Goodnight
(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)
Now its time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me -
Dream sweet dreams for you -
Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Man In The Looking Glass
(B. Howard)
[Recorded April 22, 1965, Hollywood]
[Intro:]
I've seen that face before, that face that I see in the mirror
I know that face, I've seen that face before
I knew that dopey guy when he didn't know how to tie his tie
He stood right there and he had hair galore
The man in the looking glass, who can he be?
The man in the looking glass, can he possibly be me?
Where's our young Romeo, the lad who used to sigh?
Who's the middle-aged lothario with a twinkle in his eye?
He seem so much wiser now, less lonely but then
Could be he's only pretending again
Man in the looking glass, smiling away, how's your sacroiliac today?
Where's your first love affair, that tragedy d'amour?
The true love you thought would be the end of you for sure
Man in the looking glass, have no regrets
The man who's wise never forgets
That life is worth living if once in a while
You can look in that looking glass and smile
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Steppin' Out With My Baby
[Prelude:]
Here he comes lookin' for his baby
It's for sure, sure and not for maybe
Don't ask when will the lucky day be
Here he comes and let him tell you himself:
[Verse:]
If I seem to scintillate
It's because I've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why I feel sublime
I'm
[Refrain:]
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight
Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood
There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
With a bright shine on my shoes and on my nails
[Alternate line: In my top hat and my white tie and my tails]
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Broken Wings
[Originally by Mr. Mister]
Baby don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time might be the last
I fear unless I make it all too clear
I need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
To make it right
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
Let us in
Let us in
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
PRINCE lyrics - Round And Round
Oh yeah
Round and round and round
Round, round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
Can u tell me where we're going 2?
Can u tell me what it is we really want 2 find?
Is the truth really there? Or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know it's been there all the time.
I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round and round. We go round and round and round.
And what we're looking 4 still isn't found
Can u tell me when we gonna get 2 it.
I'm tired of fooling around I said I wanna do it. (go 4 it, get 2 it)
I learned my lesson young, I said if want to have fun (go 4 it)
And when u win say, "I knew it" (go 4 it, get 2 it)
Nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round, round, round, round, round, round
Round and round (get get get get 2 it, go 4 it, get 2 it)
We go round and round and round.
And what we're looking 4 still isn't found
1 day I'll make it in the big city
And I'll be looking 4 a girl who's pretty
1 day I'll make a play and she will say ok
'cause I plan 2 be a cool kitty
Round and Round.
I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round and round. We go round and round and round.
And what we're looking 4 still isn't found
Round and round we go. Round and round we go.
Round and round and round and round and round and round we go.
Round and round, round and round,
Round and round we go, round and round we go
Round and round.
BOB SEGER SYSTEM lyrics - Innervenus Eyes
Innervenus eye, the fool performs the sky
Innervenus eye, cause every little heartache whines
Lord, she looked, she looked, she looked so good
She looked, she looked, she looked so good
Innervenus blue, the fools are not so few
Innervenus blue, corporations ran first too
She looked, she looked at me,
She looked at me so good
Looked so good, looked so good to me yeah
Cause you see, I'm free
Well I'm swimmin' in a sea, Ohhh
She makes her story short for double standard listeners
Deep inside of me, she knows
The mirror of her heart is sort of like her sister
And aviating rhyme and role
Innervenus chain
Pills won't ease the pain
Innervenus brain
Cause the universe is sane
Oh but she looked so good, looked so good to me
She's all alone, she's on her own
The wind has blown the heart has grown
GREG BROWN lyrics - I Don't Want Your Millions, Mister
I don't want your millions, Mister,
I don't want your diamond ring.
All I want is the right to live, Mister,
Give me back my job again.
Now, I don't want your Rolls-Royce, Mister,
I don't want your pleasure yacht.
All I want's just food for my babies,
Give to me my old job back.
We worked to build this country, Mister,
While you enjoyed a life of ease.
You've stolen all that we built, Mister,
Now our children starve and freeze.
So, I don't want your millions, Mister,
I don't want your diamond ring.
All I want is the right to live, Mister,
Give me back my job again.
Think me dumb if you wish, Mister,
Call me green, or blue, or red.
This one thing I sure know, Mister,
My hungry babies must be fed.
Take the two old parties, Mister,
No difference in them I can see.
But with a Farmer-Labor Party
We could set the people free.
So, I don't want your millions, Mister,
I don't want your diamond ring.
All I want is the right to live, Mister,
Give me back my job again.

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - O Evangeline
(Emmylou Harris)
O Evangeline you been gone so long
And for a time it seemed
Every road you took turned wrong
But a second chance would come
With each new bridge you burned
I know you squandered some
But then from some you learned
And the point of rescue well
You passed that long ago
O but to hear you teil it was
Just another part of the show
O Evangeline your faith shone blind and true
We raise our glass and sing
Of you Evangeline
O Evangeline you with no kith or kin
The nights so hard and mean
You shed them like a skin
For you were always strong
When the bad slid down to worse
You still had that song
It was your blessing and your curse
But in your tongue
There is no word for home
There'll be no one
To roll away the stone
O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here
Bread and roses we shall bring
To you Evangeline
O Evangeline what are you fighting for
You stayed out in that ring
When nobody's even keepin' score
But round by round you earned
Your stumble into grace
Still with every turn the world
Becomes a sadder place
It swallows up the ones
You have loved the most
So you sleep with none
You wake with ghosts
O Evangeline
You have salted with your tears
Every lonely mile you've seen
Thru the years Evangeline
It's a fatal shore
You now wash upon
So weary of the war
And no longer young
O Evangeline your voice
Risin' sweet and clear
We close our eyes and dream
Of you Evangeline
REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - If You See Him / If You See Her
(Tommy Lee James/Jennifer Kimball/Terry McBride)
If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go
If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her
MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Our Love
(Michael McDonald & David Pack)
Lost and lonely lives
Drifting like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by
In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
[Chorus:]
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on its way
Shattered, hopeless dreams
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by
And with the strength that we spend in this life
In hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that
[Chorus]
In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell
[Chorus]

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - When You Kisses Me
I'm trying to set
Your heart on fire
I wanna be
Your one desire
'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside
Make me feel so good
I wanna tell the world
I'm glad I found you
I'm a lucky girl
With you to hold me
'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside
Make me feel so good
Like my baby
There's no other
You can tempt me but
You won't hold me
Oh my darlin'
Don't you worry
No false promise
Ain't no lie
I may look over my shoulder
But I'll never leave your side
Both day and night
You fill my dreams
Who should I thank
For all you bring me
'Cos when you kisses me
Make me feel so nice inside

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Biloxi
Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are dancin' in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
The boy will fill his pail with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans
Sun shines on Biloxi
Air is filled with vapors from the sea
Boy will dig a pool beside the ocean
He sees creatures from his dream underwater
And the sun will set from off towards New Orleans
Stars can see Biloxi
Stars can find their faces in the sea
We are walking down beside the ocean
We are splashing naked in the water
And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans
And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans
Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are swimming in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
The boy will fill his pail with salty water
And the storms will blow from off toward New Orleans
IGGY POP lyrics - Sister Midnight
Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me reaching for the moon
Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me playing the fool
Calling Sister Midnight
Calling Sister Midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all
Calling Sister Midnight
I'm an Idiot for you
Calling Sister Midnight
I'm a breakage inside
Calling Sister Midnight
Calling Sister Midnight
You know I had a dream last night
Mother was in my bed
And I made love to her
Father he gunned for me
Hunted me with his six gun
Calling Sister Midnight
What can I do about my dreams
Listen to me Sister Midnight
You put a beggar in my heart
Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me walking in rags
Hey where are you Sister Midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all
BRENDA LEE lyrics - In The Garden
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'd stay in the garden with Him
'Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

LES ROCKETS lyrics - After The Fire
I'm just a walkin' back into yesterday
Here I go again
Turn around without a sound
Such a mystery
You never speak but you say so much
Make me incomplete
You pick me buy but's it's my tough luck
You're in the drivin seat
Now, after the fire (*)
I'm still burnin' after the fire
But you make me come alive
The message in your eyes is clear
And the fire in you eyes
Is burning in me costantly
And now, the fire burns away
You freeze again
But you don't fade away
We gotta meet in the cobbled street
Maybe, let's pretend
Rendezvous for me and you
Guess this is the end
One more time and I'm on my way
I'm feeling kind of small
The Eiffel tower's over me
But you can make me tall
(*) repeat
(you got me hot)
WARLOCK lyrics - After The Bomb
The biggest war has ended
The smoke gets away
The sun is coming up
To salute the horrible day
An endless battlefield
Overcrowded with death
Ah there's no-one there
Who could have been blessed
No singing of a bird
Rustle of a tree
And all is carried off
All is carried off
For a few merciless creatures
The war is a game
And all the time
They want to play it for gain
Ooh the war has ended
No singing of a bird
Rustle of a tree
And all is carried off
All is carried off
It is all over
Life was in vain
All that had seemed important
Didn't reveal its aim
War has ended
No singing of a bird
Rustle of a tree
And all is carried off
All is carried off
PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Conquistador
(Brooker / Reid)
Conquistador your stallion stands
in need of company
and like some angel's haloed brow
you reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast
has long since lost its sheen
and in your death mask face
there are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits
upon your silver shield
and in your rusty scabbard now
the sand has taken seed
and though your jewel-encrusted blade
has not been plundered still
the sea has washed across your face
and taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador there is no time
I must pay my respect
and though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
and as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
and though you came with sword held high
you did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Bad Dreams
The cats are in the flower bed
A red hawk rides the sky
I guess I should be happy
Just to be alive...
But we have poisoned everything
And oblivious to it all
The cell phone zombies babble
Through the shopping malls
While condors fall from Indian skies
Whales beach and die in sand...
Bad dreams are good
In the great plan.
You cannot be trusted
Do you even know you're lying
It's dangerous to kid yourself
You go deaf and dumb and blind.
You take with such entitlement.
You give bad attitude.
You have no grace
No empathy
No gratitude
You have no sense of consequence
Oh my head is in my hands...
Bad dreams are good
In the great plan.
Before that altering apple
We were one with everything
No sense of self and other
No self-consciousness.
But now we have to grapple
With our man-made world backfiring
Keeping one eye on our brother's deadly selfishness.
And everyone's a victim!
Nobody's hands are clean.
There's so very little left of wild Eden Earth
So near the jaws of our machines.
We live in these electric scabs.
These lesions once were lakes.
No one knows how to shoulder the blame
Or learn from past mistakes...
So who will come to save the day?
Mighty Mouse?
Superman?
Bad dreams are good in the great plan.
BAD RELIGION lyrics - Spirit Shrine
shed a tear for the criminal, give him something to believe
light a fire for the miserable, give the darkness some meaning
closed wounds harbor pestilence, when you lick them from within
charity has a redolence chastity cannot rescind
spirit shine, it's a sign
of a troubled mind (tortured mind)
spirit shine all the time
can render you blind
you can take it all to heart or throw it all away
you can give until you're dry and sucked of all your gleam
you can fake another cry and compromise your dream
cling tight to the parable - let it dominate your life
create a God who's infallible - give your leader some respite
clouds wounds harbor pestilence - when you lick them from within
rosy smiles lose their radience - when you take it on the chin
GREG BROWN lyrics - Whatever It Was
She's got a slant 6 mind and a supercharged heart,
The little princess is singing about her parts,
She says, "Come hither", but when I get hither she is yon.
I was looking for what I loved. Whatever it was, it's gone.
TV spreads and tension mounts,
Like a guy in a bra it's the idea that counts,
It's a picture of a picture of a whore holding a picture of a john.
I was looking for what I loved...
In the chemical fields by ammonia light,
I would offer my prayer to the Corn Goddess tonight,
But they chopped off her head and stuck her body out on the lawn.
I was looking for what I loved...
My generation takes what it can get,
Are you surprised that the kids are all upset?
They're looking at Nothing and Nothing turns away and yawns.
I was looking for what I loved...
Can't go to the country - the country isn't there,
It got chopped up and mortgaged and vanished in thin air,
It's a paint-by-number and it costs a million bucks down at the pawn.
I was looking for what I loved...
An electronic head and feet of clay,
Gonna be a lotta roadkill on the Information Highway,
Someone stole the video of the everfresh and lovely dawn.
I was looking for what I loved...
You might be streetwise. You might be real bad,
I guess you forgot that you also are a dad,
Your kids won't forget it when they're trying to find someone to lean on
I was looking for what I loved...
The little towns are lying on their faces,
All that's left are fading parking spaces,
It's been quite a week, there was a drive-by shooting in Lake Wobegon.
I was looking for what I loved...
A Native American told me this whole deal's a mistake,
And this implosion is just icing on the cake,
If the Great Spirit is gambling, I'd say the con is a bigger con.
I was looking for what I loved...

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Girls
(D. Ross/R. Chew)
Girls you are passion
With your every more
You set the fashion
Mirrors make you invisible
Magic in a vision
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle
You want to be that girl
The best in all the woorld
Next month's cover girl
You are passion
With your every move
You set the fashion
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - For The Young Sophisticate
Baby baby why you cryin'
Feeling sorry what she said
Put down that rag, I told her then
Don't wanna hear you cry again
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
You know she went to see the doctor
And then she read a magazine
Forget that book, 1 told her then
Don't wanna hear about the book again
Dear heart. dear heart
Work out, Vinnie
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
I thought you were in love, Vinnie
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
There was a picture on the story
That showed a young sophisticator
Who falls in love three pages later
With some aggressive agitator
And by and by he comes to hate her
'Cause she don't shave her underarms
And he can't go for that
'Cause he's a young sophisticator
Baby baby why you cryin'
It made me wonder what she said
Forget that book I told her then
Don't want to hear 'bout the book again
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
How you doin, Vinnie?
Tell me, tell me what's the reason
Would you still love me if my hair grew
All down the side of my kimono
Well of course I would, it might be hip
If it did not cause you to trip
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radiate a bad aroma
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radiate a cheap aroma
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radia-iaate, or radia-ia-ia-iate
Butzis aroma
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
THE BYRDS lyrics - I See You
(McGuinn / Crosby)
I see you, under there behind your hair everywhere
I see you
I see you, turned on eyes can't tell lies, empathise
I see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields, kind of space living there
I see you
I know you, met before seventh floor, first world war
I know you
Who lives there, tell old fair I'm aware that she cares
Who lives there
Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why
Who lives there
We thought talked
For a while they just smile just a silent thought talk
I see you, sun is there behind your hair everywhere
I see you, I see you

KISS lyrics - While The City Sleeps
What goes on behind closed doors,
private wounds, open sores
You're your own worst enemy
and cheap thrills bring you to your knees
It's thumbs down for someone you know,
and it's easy come and easy go
Chorus:
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge, so give 'em hell
While the city sleeps -
it's all there in black and white
While the city sleeps -
through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps -
while the city sleeps
It's a hit or miss, an eye for an eye,
live for today, and don't ask why
For better or worse, you bought and sold
They love you while you're hot
and leave you when you're cold
chorus
While the city sleeps -
yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps -
yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, there's no relief
While the city sleeps -
there's no relief, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah
chorus
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
yeah, there's no relief
DIANA ROSS lyrics - Pledging My Love
(D. Robey/F. Washington)
Forever my darling our love will be true
Always and forever I'll love just you
Just promise me darling your love in return
Make this fire in my soul forever burn
Forever my darling our love will be true
Always and forever I'll love just you
Just promise me darling your love in return
Make this fire in my soul, dear, forever burn
My heart's at your command, dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire
Keeping you is my goal
And I'll forever love you
For the rest of my days
I'll never part from you
And your loving ways
No I'll never part from you
And your loving ways
And I'll never part from you
And your loving ways
Yes, forever my darling
I won't love nobody but you
Give me love in return
BLONDIE lyrics - Sunday Girl (The Best Of Blondie Mix)
I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet
Dry your eyes, Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide, Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams, Sunday girl
"Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight"
Stay at home, Sunday girl
Oooh oooh oooh
He, j'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille
Il semblait dans un autre monde
Cours te cacher Sunday girl
Quand je t'ai revu l'e te j'ai de cide
Si ton amour e tait pareil au mien
Je pourrais e tre Sunday girl
De pe che-toi, de pe che-toi et attends
Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attends
J'ai le cafard, je t'en prie viens voir
Ce que ton amour repre sente pour moi
He, j'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille
Il semblait dans un autre monde
Cours te cacher Sunday girl
I got the blues

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - I'd Rather Be Gone
(Merle Haggard)
I feel like a stranger in this home I share with you
I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watchin' you grow colder every day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather be gone than in your way I'd rather have someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way
[ piano ]
I'd rather be gone...

THE BYRDS lyrics - The Day Walk (Never Before)
(Clark)
In your blue room sit with a candle lit
On a charcoal bed of dreams you carry on
Though the streets are hot you can still a lot
But you can walk out and forget there isn't time to take a loan
But you're now into something that you were immune to before
And there wasn't a sign you just fell into line at the door
And the question sands in the palms of hands
Of the wretches picking pieces of their minds up off the floor
On the mantel place there is still a trace
Of the plastic face you hung your moments on
And the sudden scare of a landing there on the sea
That you don't care to even see when you're alone
But the day is too short and you can't find support in the sun
You had thought you'd decide to just stick out the ride as it comes
But the emptiness of a thing that's less than what it was thought to be
Has left you wondering just how much more
HEART lyrics - (Beat By) Jealously
Who was with you - where you been?
Baby it can't be this again
I can't cool it 'cos I can't win it with you
Words like punches - things we said
Under the belt and in the head
Down for the count in a cold cold bed
Beat by jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy
You won't hear what I imply
What you say - I won't buy
You deny but you lie
Jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy
Down suspicious - torn in doubt
Dirty vicious - knock me out
Danger, danger - stakes are high
Hook the blow between the eyes
Every round - we lose more ground
Jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy

TYRONE DAVIS lyrics - Can I Change My Mind
(DeSpenza / Wolfolk)
Aww, she didn't bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve
But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time
She acted like I was the last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn't wanna go
But she didn't give me no sign
Nothing that would make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
I just wanna change my mind
Oh, I played my games
Many times before
But peoples, let me tell y'all
Oh, I never reached the door
But ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin' back but my baby's nowhere in sight
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
Baby, let me change my mind [Fade]
MODERN TALKING lyrics - Stranded In The Middle Of Nowhere
Albatross
Show me a dream of love
Albatross
Without her love I'm lost
Good love never dies
Angels never fly so high
I'm dreaming, dreaming
Coming back to me
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere, take care
I'm stranded in a struggle of my dreams, it seemes
Baby, oh I need you more
Like roses need the rain
Baby, oh I need you more
Come and take my hand
Albatross
Harder I try, bluer I get
Albatross
Don't leave me alone - I'm sad
Oh, I find my home
Right back where I started from
I'm dreaming, dreaming
Coming back to me
I'm stranded
Nobody cries, time's on my side
I'm stranded
I don't know where but you're not theree
I'm stranded
Playing the fool, breaking the rules
I'm stranded
Take up your hand, make me a friend

THE ANIMALS lyrics - I Believe To My Soul
(Charles)
One of these days and it won't be long
Youre gonna search for me and down the road I'm gone
'Cause I believe
Oh yes, I believe
I believe to my soul
You're tryin' to mess around with me babe
You keep complainin, my progression is slow
You shouldn't complain baby
You aught to know
'Cause I believe
Oh yes sir I believe
I believe to my soul
You're tryin to make a fool of me
Once you told me you loved me I found out it was a lie
You should be ashamed baby hang your head and cry
'Cause I believe
Oh yes, I believe
I believe to my soul
You're tryin' to make a fool of me
I believe it
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - When Lonely Hits Your Heart
(Loretta Lynn)
Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby said we're through
It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
[ guitar - piano ]
I spent my nights a crying while he was running round
My heart was the first place lonely found
I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl...
K. D. LANG lyrics - What Better Said
(Laboriel jr./Lang)
Tell me
Of the things you feel
Of the visions inside your head
Surely
Your symphony
Could be playing with me instead
Can't you see me standing here
Hoping for the depths of blindness
For the world to see
Why this
Synthesis
Whenever you are near
Truth is
Delirious
In love's great atmosphere
Can't you see us standing here
Just hoping for the depths of blindness
For the world to see
What better said
What better heard
Melt my heart with just one word
What better said
What better heard
Say this love is so observed
T. REX lyrics - Root Of Star
A root of star
I gave to thee
From the canyons of the sea
A jewel of frost that was lost
In days of dreams when we were free
A shield of bronze a thousand gongs
That calls the queen of dreams to me
A mask of jade I shyly laid
To thy form of finery
A root of star baby.
B. B. KING lyrics - You've Always Got The Blues
(Mickey Newbury)
I wake up and think of her
No matter what I do
She's always on my mind
A time a day or two
Seems to me the things you've loved the most
You always lose
But once you've got them
You've always got the blues
In time, well you may find someone else
That can comfort you
But not someone to light the fire
No, not the way she used to do
You lose the things that made it
What it was when it was new
And once you've got them
You've always got the blues
That new love only can replace
Just so much of you
That leaves a lot that gets lost between
Number one and number two
In time, well you may find someone else
That can comfort you
But not someone to light the fire
No, not the way she used to do
You lose the things that made it
What it was when it was new
And once you've got them
You've always got the blues
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Be In My Video
Be in my video,
Darling, every night
I will rent a cage for you
And mi j-i-nits dressed in white (teeny-little-tiny-little...)
Twirl around in a lap dissolve
Pretend to sing the words
I'll rent a gleaming limousine
Release a Hock of
Ber-herna-herna-herna
Herna-her-nerds
Wear a leather collar
And a dagger in your ear
I will make you smell the glove
And try to look sincere, then we'll
Dance the blues
Let's dance the blues
Let's dance the blues
Under the megawatt moonlight
Pretend to be Chinese,
(One-hung-low)
I'll make you wear red shoes
There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion
All the big groups use
Atomic light will shine
Through an old Venetian blind
Making patterns on your face,
Then it cuts to outer space
With its billions & billions &
Billions & billions and
Be in my video,
Darling, every night
Everyone in cable-land
Will say you're 'outa-site'
You can show your legs
While you're getting in the car, then
I will look repulsive
While I mangle my guitar
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh
Tee-nu-nee - - - - moo-ahhhh
Tee-nu-nee - - - - moo-wah-wah-wah-ooo
After all the close-up shots
Of you in bondage leather
They'll spray an alley with a hose
And we'll escape together, while we
Dance de blude agin
Led dance de blude agin
Led dance de blude agin
In de middle o' de alley
Let's dance your face
Let's dance your lips
Let's dance your nose
And then we'll dance your sinus
MOO-AHHHH!
TINA TURNER lyrics - Go Ahead
(James House & Anthony Little)
You see me smile but you paint an ugly face
Everything you do is all about the chase
Don't let them see you cry
Don't let them know
You won't lay down and die for their show
[Chorus:]
Why don't you go ahead tear my heart out
Why don't you go ahead hang me out to dry
Go ahead play your game, go ahead
Spread my name all over your blood red sky
They color your stars till the light begins to fade
But never give up 'cause every dog has its day
Don't let them see you cry
Don't let them know
You won't lay down and die for their show
[Chorus]

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - I Feel So Bad
(Chuck Willis)
Feel so bad
Like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad
Like a ball game on a rainy day
Yes' I got my rain check
Shake my head and walk away
Oooo-people that's the way I feel
Oooo-people that's the way I feel
Sometimes I think I want
Then again I think I don't
Sometimes I want to stay here
Then again I want to leave here
Then again I want to stay
Yes, I got my train fare
Pack my grip and ride away
Oooo-people that's the way I feel
Oooo-people that's the way I feel
Sometimes I think I want
Then again I think I don't
LOBO lyrics - Reaching Out For Someone
(Dick Holler)
Going to San Francisco
To live my life away
Had to search for 15 years
To crash for just a day
I needed my revival
But I guess it never came
You know the summer brought the winter
And they both forgot my name
Reaching out for someone
Tell me what more can I say
Are you going my way
Wasted in Sausalito
A revelation came
I guess I could make it
But I won't play the game
Great God Almighty's gone
And he never even cried
And if you don't believe me
Then I want you by my side
Traveling on this mountain
I'll tell you what I see
I thought I saw Methuselah
Coming on down to me
Well I looked right up the rail road line
And I hear the rumblin' roar
I reached down in my pocket
And feel nothing anymore

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - All The Angels
Is it suicide or illusion
Guess I kiss and tell, kiss and tell
If you do decide at your leisure
They can weave their spell, weave their spell
All of the angels - calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own
And I will be sad as I'm leaving
And I say take my hand, take my hand
We won't criticize others leaving
We will understand, understand - yeah
All of the angels - calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own - yeah, yeah, yeah
All of the angels
Calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own, everything we own, everything we own
Say goodbye to the world and it's false conclusions
? is a war
And one more illusion
Come alive with the songs
????
Leave the keys in the car
We won't go very far
If you realize they are with you
And they're here today, here today
With the secret prize they will give you
It will be ok, be ok - yeah
(continue with chorus)

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Slave To The Beauty
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Don't want to need the way I need you
Don't want to feel like this
Holding back all the words but not the kiss
For the moment my heart begins to murmur
The moment of truth arrives
And I know you'll shake your head and say goodbye
I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
Don't want to fear the way I fear you'll
Hurt me because you can
I never believed I'd crave that kind of man
I've seen the trail of hearts you've broken
I've seen the traps you lay
And if I had the strengh I'd run without delay
I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
It's dark and getting colder and I'm the beholder
And you're all I long to see
Don't want to love the way I love you...
I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
R. E.M. lyrics - Gardening At Night
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes somewhere.
It must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night
Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was 2 and 51.
They said it couldn't be arranged.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night
LES ROCKETS lyrics - Atomic Control
New York City,
It's a city just let eye left live
Atomic control.
London Town
without sound
last to light crown to night
Atomic Control.
Berlin Stadt
On the crash
Just let eye left live

UB40 lyrics - Johnny Too Bad
Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johhny you're too bad
[Chorus:]
You're just robbin' and stabbin'
And lootin' and shooting
You're too bad repeat
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
Where you gonna run to?
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come,
where you gonna run to?
[Chorus]
You're gonna run to the rock
For rescue, there'll be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock
For rescue, there'll be no rock
JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Ocean Size (Demo Version)
Wish I was ocean size
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone
I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done
It ain't easy living
I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean
Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...
No talking
All action...

[Doug E. Fresh:]
The summer's in action, to party's my passion
The women, the fashion, but this year's attraction
is smashin, hardcore comin at you raw
Cause this you never saw, on any dancefloor
I had plenty viewers with some band in Aruba
15 thousand, it looked so astoundin
The bass was pounded, my voice surroundin
Not a video, actual live show
I seen hands in the air, on HBO
Cause it's Naughty By Nature, female emancipator
Nuff backshots, what's a movie without a plot
Starring, DMC and his man Doug E.
Yo how they lookin D? (They're lookin real sexy)
Now the stage is set, and it's hot like a sweathouse
Inside I wanna get out, got somethin to let out
Ladies in the front and the back, they wanna shoutout
[Chorus w/ new Doug E. ad libs:]
C'mon, say what?
Uhh, keep it sexy y'all
Uh-huh, uh-huh

[D. M.C.:]
Lovey dovey, the ladies are lovely
I hope this one here keeps 'em thinkin of me
I won't play the role like all the fake thugs be
When I "Walk This Way" they always wanna hug me
Walkin down the street, watchin ladies
They amaze me, even the ones with the babies
All the fools in the club, are gonna go crazy
Uh-huh, they love lookin at all the lovely ladies
La-di-da-di, we like to party
We love all the lovely ladies shakin their bodies
Her friend is a 10, but she's a hottie
She got a good attitude, and she never act snotty
Ladies Love Cool J, and we love the ladies
It's only right, to fit in my Mercedes
Lovey dovey, the ladies are lovely
Play this one here where the ladies in the club be
(BUK BUK BUK BUK!)
[Chorus w/ more new Doug E. ad libs:]
Uhh, put your drinks up

[Chorus w/ Doug E. beatboxing]

BONFIRE lyrics - Break Down The Walls
Who owns the starlight
Who owns the trees
Who owns the rivers
and who's the owner of the seas
We own the words, the love and hope
and the feel for respect
We own the tears, the smiles and joy
too many times we forget
CHORUS
Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again
Who owns a woman
Who owns a child
Who owns a coloured man
and who's the owner of our lives
We own the wars, the rapes and crimes
and the feel for regret
We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries (lies)
too many times we forget
CHORUS
RICHARD MARX lyrics - Hands In Your Pocket
We're all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
We're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game.
I'm getting tired of feeling this way,
What can a single man do? what can he say?
Every day you walk the edge of a knife,
You're left with nothing at the end of your life.
They've got their hands in your pocket,
They'll take the clothes off your back...
...they'll stop you like a heart attack.
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone,
They take such good care of the rest of the world,
But, what about the folks?
At home, oh yeah! point the finger at the man you chose,
He'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes.
He sits in judgement like a king on a throne,
'till that november when he'll beg for a bone...
...brother, don't ignore the facts...!
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Laughing In The Wind
Laughing in the wind
Cryin' in the rain
I've felt this way before
I'll feel this way again
And in a small cafe just passing time away
I'm giving you the eye
No need to wonder why
And it's hazy lazy waitin' for springtime
Roll along, roll along
And all you gotta do is
Listen to the song
To the melody
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
And it's hazy lazy waitin' for springtime
Come along, roll along
And all you gotta do is
Listen to the song
To the melody
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
