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

LES ROCKETS lyrics - Ideomatic



Suis l'hotesse

Cerveau informatic

Control test

Bionic automatic

Suis l'hotesse

Ma voie est magnetic

Anti-stress

Dans l'ideomatic



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

Bionic automatic

Suis l'hotesse

Ma voie est magnetic

Ideomatic for me looking for you



Ideomatic for me

Looking for you

Dans l'ideomatic



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

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



Good evening sweet darling

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

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
