JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Lowlands



(Traditional)



We sailed out of Dunmore Michelmas gone by

Cowhides and wool and live cargo

Twenty young Wild Geese ready fledged to fly

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



Sean Rouse the skipper from the church of Crook

Piery keeps log for his father

Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



Ready with priming we'd our galliot gun

Muskets and pikes in good order

We should be riddled captives would be none

Death or else the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Death or else the lowlands low



A pirate approached us many leagues from shore

We fought and we sunk him in good order

He'll go a-roving plundering no more

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



We smuggled out the Wild Geese weapons safe ashore

Then we unloaded our cargo

A fair wind is blowing we're headed for Dunmore

Sailing from the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing from the lowlands low

The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing from the lowlands low


BEE GEES lyrics - Heart Like Mine



Night grows cold

I've been lonely so much

Out of reach

Save it only for me

Nothing in life is the same

And the sooner we stop to start



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe you can hide your face forever

God knows it's true

That when you search for someone

There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine

To be heard



Souls on fire

Feel her voice in your ear

She goes on

Living only for me

Nothing you say could be wrong

'Cause you give me the lovers sign



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe we can share it all forever

But not 'til we do

I'm gonna search for someone

There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine

To be heard



And baby are we waking up together

'Cause God knows it's you

If there is love for someone



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe we can share it all forever

But not 'til we do

I'm gonna search for someone



There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine



To be heard



There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine


KRIS KRISTOFFERSON lyrics - Chase The Feeling



It takes one to know one, baby

I know how you feel

You got your hunger

And some problems that are real



And you're dealing with some demons

Who are driving you insane

And I've seen them drag you screaming

Down the hallways of your brain



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die



Let it right on in there, baby

Let it run your life

Let it run your children off

And let it run your wife



Let it take the joy you love

And turn it to despair

You knew you knew better, baby

You just didn't care



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die



Blame it on the moonlight, baby

Think of number one

Tangled up in two

When you were shining like the sun



With a pretty piece of hunger

Who was younger than her eyes

On the scale of cosmic thunder

It's a wonder you're alive



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die


OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Lullaby



(Duncan)



I give you stars and sunshine

A rainbow at your feet each time you rise

So dry your eyes

The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet

But I don't mind, I had my time



I am but yesterday

And you my child, tomorrow

There's nothing I can give you

For you have more than me

You are the truth within your youth



I watch you dance and playing

The little prince of all that you survey

Each night, each day

I am the good old days,

And you my child, tomorrow



If I have any future

It is within your eyes

Each time you smile

My child, my child

The hand of life will rock you

I brought you forth

And then my task was through

I give to you

This wondrous view



I am but yesterday

And you my child, tomorrow

And you my child, tomorrow

And you my child, tomorrow


GREG BROWN lyrics - Pound It On Down



Catfish ain't bitin', water ain't flowin',

River's so low you can walk clean across.

I'm all through travelin', home's where your hat is,

I ain't got no hat, and I ain't got no boss.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



I loved some women more than I should have,

I loved some others less than was right.

Some loved me madly, and some done me badly,

I'm drinkin' one drink for each one tonight.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



I got an old boat sets low in the water,

I built it myself out of riverbank junk.

When I am gone, throw my old bones in,

Cut the rope, kick the boat, buddy, I'm sunk.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Disease Of Conceit



There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people struggling tonight from the disease of conceit

Comes right down the highway straight down the line

Rips into your senses through your body and your mind

Nothing about it that's sweet

The disease of conceit.



There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit

Steps into your room eats into your soul

Over your senses you have no control

Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit.



There's a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit

Comes right out of nowhere and you're down for the count

From the outside world the pressure will mount

Turn you into a piece of meat

The disease of conceit.



Conceit is the disease that the doctors got no cure

They've done a lot of research on it but what it is they're still not sure



There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people seeing double tonight from the disease of conceit

Give you delusions of grandeur and evil eye

Give you the idea that you're too good to die

Then they bury you from your head to your feet

From the disease of conceit.

BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - We Can Change



(R. Nowels/C. Caffey)



In my head I hear a haunting melody

It reminds me of the way things used to be

There was a time when we had everything

We gotta stop living in that dream



No nothing remains the same

We can't hold on but baby, baby

We can change



Oh - we can change anything we want to yeah

Oh - we can change the world

And make it better

But first we gotta change together now

Oh baby baby we can change



There's a message in the falling rain outside

There's a message in the tears falling from your eyes

I swear we don't have to hurt anymore

Throw the old ways out and close the door



No, nothing remains the same

We can't hold on but baby, baby

We can change



Baby, when you're trapped something snaps

And you start to die

Living all those years with our fears and

You wonder why

But all that smirkin gon' get you cussed out

Fuck you bitch, put this dick in your mouth

The problem is that you're just a bitch

I couldn't trust you as far as you can sit and piss

Look bitch, I know you got bank

You're actin rude, and your attitude is stank bitch

But that shit won't work with me

So I laid right back and let her eat my dick off

Yeah bitch, I'm talkin to you

Stop actin high sadity bitch, chill be cool



[Chorus]



[Too $hort:]

You got money in your purse girl

Shake that ass, make it work girl

Grab that ass, let her feel on my dick

Sittin next to her, she holla get the fuck up

You ain't never too cute to get slapped

Shit gon' change when you get with a mack

You can't hold back when you fuck with me

Don't let me find out that you're just a tease

Don't let me find out you won't suck my balls

Bitches like that I don't fuck with y'all

I fuck with bad bitches, my girls do it all

I ain't gotta finance trips to the mall

Tell that fine-ass bitch I'm Todd Shaw

As I stick my dick in her jaw



[Chorus + Interlude]


TESLA lyrics - The Way It Is



(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch, Hannon)



Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the most, no

It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all



[Chorus:]

The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes

That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the strangest ways



Even though we could never seem to work things out

I still love you just the same, I do

I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes

You're so beautiful, never change!



[Chorus]



What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah

Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways

Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe?)

Do you believe, can you believe?



The way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways



[Solo]



Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who

It never did and it never will, no

It never was meant for it to be that way, why must it be that way at all?



The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yeah yeah

That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways

That's the way it is, that's the way it is

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yeah



Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it goes

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes

I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah

Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



[Solo]



Can you believe, do you believe? Do you believe, can you believe?

That's the way it is, that's the way it is, yeah yeah yeah

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yes it do



Alright!



"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Tommy Skeoch"


THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - Sing Joy Spring



(Music by Clifford Brown - Lyrics by Jon Hendricks)



We sing a spring

(Sing joy spring)

A rare and most mysterious spring

(This most occult thing)

Is buried deep in the soul

(It's story never has been told)



The joy spring, the fountain of pleasure

Is deep inside you whether you're diggin' it or not

Once you're aware of this spring

You'll know that it's the greatest

Treasure you've got

And furthermore

The joy spring, the bounteous treasure

Cannot be bartered away and never

Can be sold

Nothing can take it from you

It's yours and yours alone to have

And to hold

And something more:

It never is lost to fire or theft

It's always around

When trouble is gone the pleasure

Is left I've always found

It's burglar-proof same as the treasure

Man lays up in heaven worth a

Price no one can measure

that says a lot

So joy spring this fountain of pleasure

That's deep inside you let me inform

You in all truth *(to Coda second time)

Ponce de Leon sought this

When he was searchin' for the fountain of youth



Ol' Ponce de Leon laughed so much he

Never did find the magic fountain

But many people with a well-adjusted

Spirit they could hear it when y'told

'em it was there tellin' them was

Like tellin' it on the mountain



It's quite a life havin' the gift of

laughter I'm a man who knows in a

minute I can tell y'just exactly how the story goes

It involves a firm conviction in another

previous life givin' your mind a chance to fly

Fly aroun' the universe investigatin' other

galaxies n' certain other subtle

types o'life tryin' t'dig it gettin'

pretty well-acquainted with a lot of

other strife an' pretty much acquirin'

yourself plenty of education

pretty soon here comes earth birth

'n then y'ready t'put it all t'work

but soon as you're finished bein' born

you start forgettin' what you knew

'Cause you're another kinda you - a

reincarnation manifestation

of spirit in sensation



Y'really got that right

The average person isn't bright

not so bright that they recall the fatal fall

down here t' this earth

their minds disguise their death to spirit

life and call it birth

that's their reason for forgetting and they

find it very upsetting when reminded

tell 'em they've lived before

They'll show y' the nearest open door

Gotta have feelin' while dealin' with

walkers in their sleep

they can't imagine somethin' as deep



Here they come - here they come - there they are

Unimaginative and ignorant of falling from a star

Here they come - there they are - there they go

Life is over in a minute an' they never dug

it in it or enjoy a minute of it

'cause they put too much above it

that was gross

somethin' that was worth a couple bucks

at mos'



So there is the reason that the maker of man

included there in his plan

A certain fountain deep within'

where there was laughter, youth 'n gold

for human beings t'have 'n hold

'n share the memory of where we've all been



Brothers called Grimm knew chances were slim'

Anybody would dig that the human soul

was Snow White

and the Seven Dwarfs were seven tempers

in man

whose digging out the gold completes

the plan

An Bacon was hip that Shakespeare

couldn't read

and so he gave him all the rhymes

that have lasted through the years

and kept eternal truths alive through

several centuries

That's how we know them now

they lasted 'cause they're true



What was it from "MacBeth?"

"Life's but a walking shadow

a player poor

that struts and frets upon the stage

and's seen no more

A tale that truly has an idiotic ring

That's full of lotsa sound and fury

signifying nothing..."



That's right signifying nothing

I'll repeat it! Nothing

Don't forget it - Nothing

And that's the reason for that spring

of joy

That the Father put inside of every

single girl and boy



Show time! Everyone's on

let's hit the stage

It's show time everyone an' proceed

to act your age



Whatever you're frownin' at is funny

enough f'laughin'

so you're wastin' all your humor on a frown

While you're bringin' your spirit down



You gotta book yourself a comic in your act

without some laughter life's a maudlin

farce 'n that's a fact



Once you know about the spring you always can smile

It becomes your one expression

and you're always wearin' it like the

Buddhas do



Ponce de Leon sought this

When he was searchin'

for the fountain of youth

I say in truth he

sought a magical thing

For he was searchin'

for the joy spring


MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Love And Money



Is it a crisis?

Is it a crime?

Or is it a fantasy?

Does it take time?

Will it cost money?

Will it mean love?

Sure isn't easy

To get in the mood



Aha

Aha

Aha

Aha.



See you at the parties

You're never the same

Do you make money?

What is your name?

Where can I find you?

Out in the night

Who are your friends?

Are they dark or light?



Aha

Aha

Aha

Aha.



Tell me the dreams you never told anyone

Gimme a break.

Are you really a virgin who's never loved anyone else?

Or just a fake?

Me I don't know what to think anymore

Don't know where to start

To sit here with you and talk about nothing

Is breaking my heart.



Ask me a question?

Gimme a smoke

What are you drinking?

Is it a joke

Well ain't it worth it?

Or am I depraved?

You hold your head high

With one foot in the grave.



Aha

Aha.

Aha

Aha.

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Seventy Cities As Love Brings The Fall



He wants the world

Screams everything

Follows in love

Love brings the fall

She is a country

Feel for life

Follows in love

Love brings the fall



First tear forms in the right eye

This is the eye that's crying first

First tear forms in the right eye

This is the eye that's crying first



Going somewhere

Getting someplace

Going somewhere

Follows in love

Love brings the fall

Going somewhere

Getting someplace

Going somewhere

Follows in love

Love brings the fall

Going somewhere

Getting someplace

Going somewhere

Follows in love



Cities heavy

Moving breathing

Follows in love

Love brings the fall

The need to draw blood somehow

Follows in love

Love brings the fall

Breath is in

Breath is out

I'm not seeing anything

I see too much



When the otherside of midnight calls

Remind me I'm glad to be here

First tear forms in the right eye

This is the eye that's crying first



In seventy cities

In seventy cities

Oh no oh no oh no no no

Here it comes Here it comes

Here it comes

Oh no


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Tippecanoe And Tyler Too



Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion motion

All the country through?

It is the ball a-rolling on

For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van

Van is a used up man

And with him we'll beat Little Van



Sure, let 'em talk about hard cider (cider cider)

And log cabins too

't'will only help to speed the ball

For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van

Van is a used up man

And with him we'll beat Little Van



Like the rush of mighty waters (waters waters)

Onward it will go

And of course we'll bring you through

For Tippecanoe and Tyler too

And with him we'll beat Little Van, Van

Van is a used up man

And with him we'll beat Little Van


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Golden Dawn



(Barry Gibb, Ashley Gibb & Stephen Gibb)



One golden dawn

One summer night

With nothing left to say



We left the dream begin

It was carried on the wind

And it wandered away



One golden sky

One spark of light

Forever will remain



And the song of the storm

Brought us close

Kept us warm

All alone making love

In the rain



Gone is the world outside

Home on the turning tide

True love will find the sun

And know the reason why



You make me hunger for

You whispered mi amor

Over the ocean's roar

And the night will become

Our golden dawn



Two hearts as one

No tears to cry

With you I have it all



If love can never die

I'm not afraid to fly

But how far must I fall



One silver song

One lullaby

For all the love we make



It's the look in your eyes

It's the moon on the rise

It's the sound of the heart

That you break



Gone is the dark of night

Call on the early glow

Send down the birds of love

That circle us below



And still I will hunger for

You whispering mi amor

Over the ocean's roar

And your arms reach for me

And the shine on the sea

And the night will become

Our golden dawn...

PRINCE lyrics - New Power Generation



Lay down your funky weapon.

Yeah y'all, here we go

Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's.



Pardon me 4 living, but this is my world 2

I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to u

Pardon me 4 breathing, can we borrow some of your air?

The problem with u and your kind is that u don't know love is there



Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor

Making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.

We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.

The only thing that's in our way is u.

Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,

We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.



Pardon me 4 thinking, but there's something under my hair

I bet u thought the lights were on but noone's living there

U think that if u tell enough lies they will see the truth?

I hope they bury your old ideas the same time they bury u



Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor

Making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.

We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.

The only thing that's in our way is u.

Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,

We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.



We r the new, We r the new, We r the new,

Making love and music

New power, we stand



Pardon us for caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (shout it out)

If we only want to love one another

Then tell me now who's the fool (tell me, tell me)

No father, no mother, no sister, no brother, nobody can make me stop

Said if u didn't come 2 party child, I think u better get up offa my block.



Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor

Making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.

We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.

The only thing that's in our way is u.

Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,

We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.

Why don't u just be happy, baby.



[chorus repeated with this sung over it]

Go on and get up offa my block

Get up offa my block, because

Love is there if you'd just open up 2 it.

If you'd just believe your whole world would change



New power generation, you've got to rearrange. We've got

We r the new power generation, you've gotta give up all the fight

We gotta try 2 love one another, baby. we r the new power generation

We r the new power generation.

We r the new power generation.


JOHN HIATT lyrics - Tennessee Plates



I woke up in a hotel and I didn't know what to do

I turned the TV on and wrote a letter to you

The news was talkin' 'bout a dragnet up on the interstate

Said they were lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates



Since I left California baby, things have gotten worse

Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse

Tell that judge in Bakersfield that my trial will have to wait

Down here they're lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates



It was somewhere in Nevada, it was cold outside

She was shiverin' in the dark, so I offered her a ride

Three bank jobs later, four cars hot wired

We crossed the Mississippi like an oil slick fire



If they'd known what we was up to they wouldn't 'a let us in

When we landed in Memphis like original sin

Up Elvis Presley Boulevard to the Graceland gates

See we were lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates



Well, there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage

And there wasn't one Lincoln and there wasn't one Dodge

And there wasn't one Japanese model or make

Just pretty, pretty Cadillacs with Tennessee plates



She saw him singing once when she was seventeen

And ever since that day she's been living in between

I was never king of nothin' but this wild weekend

Anyway he wouldn't care, hell he gave them to his friends



Well this ain't no hotel I'm writin' you from

It's the Tennessee prison up at Brushy Mountain

Where yours sincerely's doin' five to eight

Stampin' out my time makin' Tennessee plates

ERASURE lyrics - Take Me Back



(Clarke / Bell)



The way to your heart

The way to your heart



There are voices like water

Inside your heart

Echo



Take me back to the place where I once belonged

This could be any place

A place where you and I could sing this song

Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing



Let me dive into the lake where winter hides the snow

Then comes the summertime

Fields of scarlet poppies grow

Take me back where I see butterflies to-ing, fro-ing



And the river flows

I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows

I am never gonna get it back again



We don't know anything

Trapped in a world full of strangers

Please don't tell me anything

I'd rather fall into you



Let me sleep a little while underneath the tree

And dream of dragonflies

Where the weary willow weeps for me

Take me back where I see dandelions blowing



And the river flows

I am never gonna take it back again



And the river flows

I am never gonna get it back again

And the river flows

I am never gonna take it back again



And the river flows

I am never gonna get it back again

And the river flows

I am never gonna take it back again



We don't know anything

Trapped in a world full of strangers

Please don't tell me anything

I'd rather fall into you


SKID ROW lyrics - New Generation



I sold my soul for you

You cut my life in two

Nightmares from what I've seen and where I've been

Made me run from you again



Controlling, big brother's eye

Containment? I'd rather die



We're all part of a new generation

Sold our souls to the next temptation

Lead us not to our own damnation



I've seen what hatred brings

I've seen the flesh of kings

Blinded my eyes my mouth you've sewn it shut

Protecting me from fucking up!



Controlling, big brother's eye

Containment? I'd rather die



We're all part of a new generation

Sold our souls to the next temptation

Lead us not to our own damnation



We're all part of a new generation

Sold our souls to the next temptation

Lead us not to our own damnation



We're all part of a new generation

Sold our souls to the next temptation

Lead us not to our own damnation



We're all part of a new generation

Sold our souls to the next temptation

Lead us not to our own damnation



New generation

New generation

New generation


CAROLE KING lyrics - Will You Love Me Tomorrow



Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow



Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure

Can I believe the magic of your sighs

Will you still love me tomorrow



Tonight with words unspoken

You say that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken

When the night meets the morning sun



I'd like to know that your love

Is love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

Will you still love me tomorrow

IGGY POP lyrics - I Wanna Be Your Dog



So messed up I want you here

In my room I want you dear

Now we're gonna be Face-to-face

And I'll lay right down In my favorite place



And now I wanna be your dog

Now I wanna be your dog

And now I'm ready to close my mind

And now I'm ready to feel your hand

And lose my heart on the burning sands



And now I wanna be your dog

And now I wenna be your dog

Now I wanna be your dog

Well c'mon


CARPENTERS lyrics - Can't Smile Without You



You know I can't smile without you

Can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew, what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you



You came along, just like a song

And brightened my day

Well who'd a' believed

That you were part of a dream

Now it all seems, light years away and



You know I can't smile without you

Can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew, what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you



Now some people say, that happiness takes

So very long to find

Well I'm finding it hard

Leaving your love behind me --and you see I



You know I can't smile without you

Can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew, what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you

You know I can't smile without you

Can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew, what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you...

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Almost Ideal Eyes



Here she comes with her almost ideal eyes

And her flawless skin and her petulant pout

The memory of such a long blonde alibi

Still makes me want to shout out loud and clear

When you clear your head my dear

You can't come round here in those stolen clothes

Telling me all about some mystery

I hope she isn't one, I hope she isn't one of those



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosy hue

So beautiful, trusting

You'll find liberal is an insult now and care is what you pay for

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal



Love is smiles, he will hypnotize you while

He tries to analyze your dream

Fill you up with all his big ideas while he really wants to make you

Scream out loud at the phony innocence

And the pained pretence and the dismal rage

The vacant lot that thankfully time forgot

Where you never have to act, you never have to act your age



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosy hue

So beautiful, trusting

You'll find stupid is a compliment and thrill is what you play for

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal



In despair all your friends get uglier

And you find you're wearing an evening gown

Weeping over some tiny broken bird

While the sky is decorated

Shocking pink and a dirty shade of brown

And you think you need to be tranquil

Lies the fear that befits your new career

Whatever you invent you'll never be content in



Almost ideal eyes

Viewed through a rosy hue

So beautiful, trusting

Rebellion is just currency, the moon is what you bay for

Be sure of what you wish upon, be careful what you pray for

When you look into those almost ideal

When you look into those almost ideal

When you look into those almost ideal



Here she comes, here she comes now

Here she comes, here she comes now


MEGADETH lyrics - Use The Man



(Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman)



I heard somebody fixed today

There was no last goodbyes to say

His will to live ran out

I heard somebody turned to dust



Looking back at what he left

A list of plans and photographs

Songs that never will be sung

These are the thinge he won't get done



I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands

The fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man



Just one shot to say goodbye

One last taste to mourn and cry

Scores and shoots, the lights go dim

Just one shot to do him in



He hangs his head and wonders why

Why the monkey only lies

But pay the pauper, he did choose

He hung his head inside the noose



I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man

I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand

Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end

I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand


GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - This I Love



All the love in the world couldn't save you

All the innocence inside

You know I tried so hard to make you

To make you change your mind



And it hurts too much to see you

And how you left yourself behind

You know I wouldn't want to be you

Now there's a hell I can't describe



So now I wander through my days

Trying to find my ways

To the feelings that I felt

I saved for you and no one else



And though as long as this road seems

I know its called the street of dreams

But that's not stardust on my feet

It leaves a taste that's bittersweet

That's called the blues



I don't know just what I should do

Everywhere I go I see you



Although its what you planned, this much is true, oh oh

What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you, anymore...



I don't know just what I should do

Everywhere I go I see you



You know it's what we planned, this much is true, oh oh

What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you, anymore...



What this means to me

Is more than I know you believe

What I thought was you now

Has cost more that it should for me



What I thought was true before

Were lies I couldn't see

What I thought was beautiful

Was only memories...

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - I've Seen Better Days



(Red Lane/Danny Morrison)



The sun is shining down

There's not one cloud around

Morning hits me

Where I lay



Everything was green

A perfect day it seems

Yeah he's got everything his way

Oh but I've seen better days

I've seen better days



When the rain was pouring down

And he had his loving arms wrapped around me

I've seen better days



The neighbors come and go

They smile and wave hello

And all the kids are out to play



Lollipops and good times

They look so much like mine

But he has taken mine away

Oh and I've seen better days

Lord I've seen better days



When the rain was pouring down

And he had his loving arms wrapped around me

I've seen better days



Oh Lord I miss 'em

I've seen better days

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Let The Slave (Incorporating: The Price Of Experience)



(Lyrics by William Blake)



Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field

Let him look up into the heavens and laugh in the bnght air

Let the inchained soul, shut up in darkness and in sighing

Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary Years

Rose and look out; his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open;

And let his wife and children return from the oppressor's scourge

They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream

Singing: The sun has left his blackness and has found a fresher morning

And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night

For empire is no more and now the Lion and Wolf shall cease



For everything that lives is holy

For everything that lives is holy

For everything that lives is holy

For everything that lixes is holy



What is the price of Experience? Do men buy it for a song?

Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price

Of all that a man hath, his house, his wife, his children

Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy

And in the wither'd field where the farmer plows for bread in vain

It is an easy thing to triumph in the summer's sun

And in the vintage and to sing on the waggon loaded with corn

It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted

To speak the laws of prudence to the homeless wanderer

To listen to the hungry raven's cry in wintry season

When the red blood is fill'd with wine and with the marrow of lambs



It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements

To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughter house moan;

To see a god on every wind and a blessing on every blast

To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm that destroys our enemies' house;

To rejoice in the blight that covers his field

And the sickness that cuts off his children



While our olive and vine sing and laugh round our door

And our children bring fruits and flowers



Then the groan and the dolor are quite forgotten

And the slave grinding at the mill

And the captive in chains and the poor in the prison



And the soldier in the field

When the shatter'd bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead

It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity:

Thus could I sing and thus rejoice: but it is not so with me


BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Orange Crate Art



Orange crate art was a place to start

Orange crate art was a world apart

Home for two with view of Sonoma

Where there's aroma and heart

Memories of her orange crate art



Orange crate table and a rockin' chair

Barnyard gate waiting some repair

Trust in fate and sweet inspiration

You could go bust to replace

Just what is here by the case



Hear the lonesome locomotion roar

Hobo hop on if you dare

And it rolls where grapes of wrath are stored

Stops on a bracero's prayer



On the dawn of a vintage cruise

Calms the wine of this rendezvous

Room for two in view of Sonoma

Back when Ramona had heart

Memories of her orange crate art



Room for two in view of Sonoma

Back when Ramona had heart

Memories of her orange crate art

B. B. KING lyrics - I'm King



(B. B. King / Jules Taub)



I've been around the world, seen everything

And if it's love you want baby just give me a ring

I can't lose with the stuff I use

I'm the king of the blues



I've loved in sunshine, I've loved in the rain

All of the women who know me call that loving man

I can't lose with the stuff I use

I'm the king of the blues



Some people go to school to try and learn their trade

Yes, but I'm a lover, a lover by nature

That's why I know, I know, I know I've got it made



Yes, you might think I'm jokin' or just havin' fun

But they tell me the reason I'm the king

I'm a lovin' son of a gun

I can't lose with the stuff I use

I'm the king of the blues

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Love Surrounds Me



(Dennis Wilson/G. Cushing-Murray)



On my own again, left alone

To remember when

Her love filled my life

Made my life alive her love

Love around me



How can I cope without the love

That I had

(all around me, love surrounds me)

Surround me

The love that I lost was more than

I could hope to find

(love surround me, all around me)

Around me

Did I have love or did love have me

Oo love around me

But there's no

There's no love of my own



Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmm

Mm



I gave up our love

But it won't disappear

Oo love around me

Desire

Seems as though

Everywhere I go

Oo love around me

Put your arms around me

Huggin' and a-kissin'

Making the love I've been missin'

All around me

But there's no

There's no love of my own



Love around me love surround me

No love of my own

Love around me love surround me

No love of my own

Love surround me love around me

No love of my own

Love surround me love around me

Put your love around me

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Fool Fool



(T. Seals/J. McBee/M. Barnes)



If love should come again from you

You could never count the ways of things I'd say an' do

And I would be more of a man than I've ever been

If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again



I have been a fool...

That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you

What can I do...

My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you



An' all I wanna say is you're all I need

Hands like the sunshine touch me at the right time you're the air I breathe

An' I would be more of a man than I've ever been

If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again



I've been a fool...

That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you

What can I do...

My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you



Well I've been a fool...

That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you

What can I do...

My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you



I've been a fool...

That's what I am... I don't wanna lose you

What can I do...

My life ain't worth livin' if my love ain't worth givin' to you...


GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - On The Lie



He burnt down the house one night

He had a loaded sixpack gun

He said that jesus christ was just like a cop

You know you never know when they'll come

She said every day above ground

Was another dream come true

He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night

But I'm not in love with you



And I never got serious

Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back



On the lie



He said man you want to be Elvis

I said I ain't dying face down

He said you've got to die facing up in the world

Cause there's too many holes around

He asked what was wrong with me

He said I looked like a hollywood girl

I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man

Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world



And I never got serious

Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back



On the lie

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - In This World



How have I found you?

How in the world?

Now that I've found you

You are my world

In these times that keep us guessing

You're my answer and my blessing

Pretty damn amazing, given

This peculiar world we live in



In this world

That's lost all its reason

At last there's a reason

For hope in my heart

In this world

Unsure of its future

So sure of you

I say, let the future start!

In this world

That's yearning for someone

To answer the call

From out of the blue

In this world

I prayed there would come one

Magnificent someone

Someone like you



In this world

That's lost all its reason

At last there's a reason

For hope in our hearts

In this world unsure of its future

Somehow with you

I'm sure where the future starts

In this world

That's yearning for someone

To answer the call

From out of the blue

In this world

I prayed there would come one

Magnificent someone

Someone like you


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Crazy Fingers



Your rain falls like crazy fingers

Peals of fragile thunder keeping time



Recall the days that still are to come

Some sing blue



Hang your heart on laughing willow

Stray down to the water

Deep Sea of Love



Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea

Swift undertow



Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know

See how it feels in the end

May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you

Soft, strong, sweet and true



Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow

Tapping at the window touch your hair



So swift and bright

Strange figures of light

Float in air



Who can stop what must arrive now?

Something new is waiting to be born



Dark as the night

You're still by my side

Shining side



Gone are the days we stopped to decide

Where we should go

We just ride



Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams

Gone - both dream and lie



Life may be sweeter for this I don't know

Feels like it might be alright

While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you

Love still rings true



Midnight on a carousel ride

Reaching for the gold ring down inside



Never could reach

It just slips away but I try


JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Ocean



I've got to keep on keeping on

I just wanna be beside you

Wanna do the best I can

Even though you've made it plain

You don't believe in love

I can't let you go

I can't walk away



Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet

Pure and sweet

How you haunt my memory



Believe me baby

In this brilliant world you're the best

You're like a porcelain charm

A perfumed smile

A teenage blush

You're like champagne roses



Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man



I've got to keep on keeping on

How can I live without you

I've got to make you understand

Each species has a mate

And fate says you'll be mine

I won't let you down



Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet

Pure and sweet

How you haunt my memory



I believe in angels

You leave me no alternative

You're like a butterfly

A gospel choir

A sun kissed sky

You're like sensual velvet



Believe me baby

In this brilliant world you're the best

You're like a porcelain charm

A perfumed smile

A teenage blush

You're like sunshine roses

Come on baby can't you see

All the need in me

Like the ocean speaks to the naked man


WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - There's More True Lovers Than One



Look out acrost that sea and see those breakers swell

How many a love it's washed away no human tongue can tell

Nobody can ever solve that dark sea's mysteries

How many a love has bloomed and blown the same as you and me



There's more true lovers than one

There's more true lovers than one

Cast out aside by every tide

There's more true lovers than one



I looked acrost that sea to see them whitecap breakers rise

True love comes in like an ocean tide and like the wind it flies

Upon these moonlit sands how many a vow was sworn

How many a heart has tossed and broke while love went rolling on



There's more true lovers than one

There's more true lovers than one

Cast out aside by every tide

There's more true lovers than one



The moon so high above sees many a kiss exchanged

Sees many a heart that has to part to never return again

We carv'd our names in the sand where love's great waters roll

But names untold have washed away while love goes rolling on



There's more true lovers than one

There's more true lovers than one

Cast out aside by every tide

There's more true lovers than one

ROGER WATERS lyrics - Sunset Strip



I like staying with my Uncle Dave

And I like playing with his great dane

But I don't fit

I feel alien and strange Kinda outa range



I like riding in my Uncle's car

Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade

And movie stars and paparazzi play

The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game



And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea

There's a blood red dragon on a field of green

Calling me back



Back to the Black Hills again

Ooh, ooh, Billy come home



Billy is searching for his native land

Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head

Picking up -------------- and

A male voice choir on the short wave band



Billy taps out Jim's number on the 'phone

Sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone

Come on my friend, speak to me please

The land of my fathers is calling to me

And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea

There's a blood red dragon on a field of green

Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again

Ooh, ooh, Billy come home



Come on home

He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea

Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green

He hears a male voice choir singing Billy come home

Billy, Billy, come home

Come on home



Californian Weirdo: I don't like fish.

Jim: You are listening to KAOS here in Los Angeles.

Californian Weirdo: I don't like fish.

Jim: Yes, we've established that. Ah! Do you have a request?

Californian Weirdo: Shell fish, guppy, salmon, shrimp and crab

and lobster, flounder. I hate fish, but I think most of

all I hate fresh fish, like trout. I hate fresh trout.

My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole. That way

you don't have to see the eyes. Sole has no eyes.

Jim: Oh no!

Californian Weirdo: I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog

Jim: Thankyou.

Californian Weirdo: I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog

I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog

I'd like to be home with my monkey...

Jim: They don't care. Shut up. Play the record.


THE PLASTIC ONO BAND lyrics - Cold Turkey



(John Lennon)



Temperature's rising

Fever is high

Can't see no future

Can't see no sky



My feet are so heavy

So is my head

I wish I was a baby

I wish I was dead



Cold turkey has got me on the run



My body is aching

Goose-pimple bone

Can't see no body

Leave me alone



My eyes are wide open

Can't get to sleep

One thing I'm sure of

I'm in at the deep freeze



Cold turkey has got me on the run



Cold turkey has got me on the run



Thirty-six hours

Rolling in pain

Praying to someone

Free me again



Oh I'll be a good boy

Please make me well

I promise you anything

Get me out of this hell



Cold turkey has got me on the run

Oh, oh, oh, oh

CHICAGO lyrics - The Greatest Love On Earth



It's a long distance love affair

Tender are the moments that they rarely share

They hope their time will come someday

When together with the fraulein they'll steal away

It's the greatest love on earth

He's come from so far away to see

Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy

He's dying inside dying of frustration reaching out in hope

And he wants so hard to hide inside of her soul

'Cause that's what he needs to cope

It's the greatest love on earth

Her lovin' eyes are all he wants to see

And he knows that in her heart there lies his destiny

When she holds him in her arms he can feel the warmth

Of her gentle ways

And when she kissed him it was just like making music

That no one else will ever play

It's the greatest love on earth

He's come from so far away to see

Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy

It's the greatest love on earth

He's come from so far away to see

Is this his lifelong dream or just another fantasy


STEVE EARLE lyrics - The Mountain



(Steve Earle)



I was born on this mountain a long time ago

Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal

When you rose in the mornin' before it was light

To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night



I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home

She holds me and keeps me from worry and woe

Well, they took everything that she gave, now they're gone

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home



I was young on this mountain but now I am old

And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole

'Til one night I lay down and woke up to find

That my childhood was over and I went down in the mine



There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep

And God only knows all the secrets it keeps

There's a chill in the air only miners can feel

There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Those Wonderful Things



(Lyrics: A. Montroucchio-A. Blankleder/music: Gold-Bloss)



Some days you run, run, run

You never stop and when you stop

You're too tired to think about anything.

But some day, when you finally stop,

You're able to think and wonder about your

Breathless running

And if i could have a christmas wish come true...

I would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things

And in your life, which is so precious to me,

May troubles, worries never linger;

May they only make you stronger...

And may you rise each day with sunlight

In your heart

And success on your path

And answers to your prayers

And that smile

That i love to see

Always there...

In your eyes...

And if i could have a christmas wish come true...

I would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things

And in your life, which is so precious to me,

May troubles, worries never linger;

May they only make you stronger...

...and able and wise

...and able and wise

...and able and wise

And if i could have a christmas wish come true...

I would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things

And in your life, which is so precious to me,

May troubles, worries never linger;

May they only make you stronger...

...those wonderful things

...stronger

...those wonderful things

...stronger

...those wonderful things

...stronger

...those wonderful things


STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Fat Jack



Rolly Poly Fat Man

Thunder down the hall

On your way to breakfast

You got to have it all

A plate of cold spaghetti

One day on the floor

Clean your chops and take time

To contemplate your stall



Every morning, pass by the mirror

Chuckle at your smiling face

"So good to see you-you're looking good"

Good to see you

Now you're on your way



Flag a cab to Getchell

"Hey boy, Guv'nah Way!

Hey now, where you headed?

The Albert's on your right"



Fat Jack where are you going?

I can see you walking down the road

Fat Jack where are you going?

I can't understand how you tote your own load



Rolly Poly Fat Man

Spin your swivel chair

Next time 'round you'll catch up

If business war is fair

5 o'clock is closing

Give yourself a raise

Didn't get no business

But you made my whole day



Every morning, pass by the mirror

Chuckle at your smiling face

Every morning, pass by the mirror

Strapped in a self embrace

"So good to see you-you're looking good"

Good to see you

Now you're on your way



Hey Jack, Fat Jack where you goin'?


SANDRA lyrics - Midnight Man



(Kemmler/Cretu - Kemmler/Hirschburger)



strangers

talkin' bout my life

changes

they're gonna take my side



revelation

in a station

is followin' a man

an' right in this moment

i'm in torment

hear your voice again



i say man

you're my midnight man

can't escape your voice on the radio

i try it but i can't

for i need you badly

man

you're my midnight man

hold me in your spider web

midnight man



rages

tearin' up my mind

pages

i'm skimmin' to kill time



far 'till morning

hear a warning

from the borderline

an' right in this moment

i'm in torment

hear your voice again



i say man

you're my midnight man

can't escape your voice on the radio

i try it but i can't

for i need you badly

man

you're my midnight man

hold me in your spider web

midnight man


JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Jailhouse Rock



The warden threw a party in the county jail.

The prison band was there and they began to wail.

The band was jumpin' down they began to swing.

You should've heard those jailbirds sing.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Well Spider Murphy played on the saxophone,

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,

The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Well number forty-seven said to number three:

"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.

I sure could enjoy some of your company,

Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Well sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone

When over in the corner weepin' all alone.

The warden said, "buddy, don't you be no square.

If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.



Well Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,

No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."

Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,

I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.


CARL WILSON lyrics - Youngblood



(Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Doc Pomus)



I saw her standin' on the corner

A yellow ribbon in her hair

I couldn't keep myself from shoutin'

Look-a there...



Youngblood, yeah youngblood

(Oh, youngblood)

I can't get you out of my mind



I took one look and I was fractured

I tried to walk but I was lame

I tried to talk but I just stuttered

What's your name...



Youngblood, yeah youngblood

(Oh, youngblood)

I can't get you out of my mind



Her crazy stuff-she looked so tough

I had to follow her all the way home

Then things went bad-I met her dad

He said you better leave my daughter alone

Well, I couldn't sleep a wink for tryin'

I saw the risin' of the sun

And all night long my heart was cryin'

Why you're the one...



Youngblood, yeah youngblood

(Oh, youngblood)

I can't get you out of my mind

Youngblood, yeah youngblood

(Oh, youngblood)

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - One Night



God, you still amaze me when

You speak to me that way

The sound of your voice

The look in your eyes

You stand there in your grace

You told me that the scars you bear

Are beautiful and real

So turn the lights back on again

I wanna see the things you feel



We've got one night

To let the whole world know

Just how perfect we can be

Close your eyes and then you'll see

We've got one night

To let the whole world know

Forget about the falling stars

Tonight we'll show them who we are



I feel it when you're near me

And I know when you're not there

When I'm on the edge

And so alone

And no one seems to care

You reach out and pull me back

And love me till I'm free

All the joy in my life I feel I've lost

You see inside of me



Your life's a song I'll sing

It doesn't matter anymore

If anyone is listening to me

'Cause you move like light

And descend on me

Gently moving through my life


PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Little Woman Love



I got a little woman I can really love,

My woman fit me like a little glove.

You know I'll always love

my little woman love.



I take her home most ev'ry night,

My woman love to hold me tight.

You know I feel alright

my little woman mine.



Oh yeah, oh yeah,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh yeah, oh yeah,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.



I take her home most ev'ry night,

My woman love to hold me tight.

You know I feel alright,

my little woman mine.


AEROSMITH lyrics - Voodoo Medicine Man



I was left as a child

dragged from the cradle, I was weaned in the wild

ran with the wolfpack, flesh torn to shreds

in the compensations, I was left there for dead



read it in the paper it ain't fair

you know who today don't seem to care

livin', lovin', gettin' loose

masturbatin' with a noose

now someone's kickin' out the chair



some kind of voodoo

come across this land

some kind of voodoo

voodoo medicine man



everybody's lookin' at the sky

don't believe the coverups and lies

they been tellin' us since birth

pissin' off old Mother Earth

my gones are bygones prophesied



get ready



wonder should I go or should I stay

'cause what we got ain't workin' anyway

I did my best, God knows I tried

I feel like I been crucified

why did you take it all away



voodoo, voodoo, medicine man [repeat]


AEROSMITH lyrics - Let The Music Do The Talking



Rock-a-bye baby

If you wanna dance

Grab yourself a body

And take a chance

Said one time around

Is all you get

I'm still dancin'

So you lost your bet



I got a hardcore mama

With a hot hoochie coo

Make my wheels start spinnin'

Like a formula two



Got one for the money

Two for the show

Three for my honey

And four to let you know that I...



Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking...'cause I can't wait

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking



Cheese cake

Maybe if I take another bite

I'm a real fat city

I'm an aero delight

Threw out my pipe

And my alkaline

Got a squeaky clean body

And a dirty mind

I'm a real fine dancer

I'll be cuttin' the rug

Got a brand new baby

She's my brand new drug



I got one for the money

Two for the show

Three for my honey

And four to let you know that I...



Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking...'cause I can't wait

Let The Music Do The Talking...I gotta get it

Let The Music Do The Talking...

Yeah yeah yeah yeah...

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...yeah



Yak yak yak

yak yak yak yak yak yak yaou



Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

Let The Music Do The Talking

MUDCRUTCH lyrics - Shady Grove



[Chorus:]

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away



Cheeks as red as blooming rose

And eyes are the prettiest brown

She's the darling of my heart

Sweetest lil' girl in town



[Chorus]



I wish I had a big fine horse

And corn to feed him on

And Shady Grove to stay at home

And feed him while I'm gone



[Chorus]



Went tpo see my Shady Grove

Standing in the door

Her shoes and stockin's in her hand

And her little bare feet on the door



[Chorus]



When I was a little boy

I wanted a Barlow knife

Now I want little Shady Grove

To say she'll be my wife



[Chorus]


STEVE PERRY lyrics - Anyway



(Perry, Miner)



Still I remember

I'd like to say I'm sorry

I'd like to make amends

I'd close my eyes and tell the truth

But where would I begin

My story's far from simple

I'm so afraid to show

I never want to run again

I wanna let you know



Anyway, what was I saying

Anyway, I seem to have lost my place again

Anyway, somehow I need just to forget

But I can't do it, oh I try, anyway



We believed in music

Brothers to the end

Nothing stood between us

A fire burned within

Oh how I remember

Wounded, but alive

Lost in my insanity

Escaping to survive



Anyway, what was I saying

Anyway, I seem to have lost my place again

Anyway, oh how I need just to forget

But can't do it

Oh, I try, still I can't do it

Oh, I try, oh I try, anyway



Still I remember

Still I remember

Haunting me, calling me, still I remember

No, no, no, no


TOWNES VAN ZANDT lyrics - Marie



(Townes Van Zandt)



I stood in line and left my name

Took about six hours or so

Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game

Said they'd let me know



I put in my time till the Pocono line

Shut down two years ago

I was staying at the mission till I met Marie

Now I can't stay there no more



Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man

To move some old cars around

Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out

Van and do a little settlin' down



But I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride

And the junkyard's a pretty good ways

That job's about a half week old besides

It'd be gone now anyway



Unemployment said I got no more checks

And they showed me to the hall

My brother died in Georgia some time ago

I got no one left to call



Summer wasn't bad below the bridge

A little short on food that's all

Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat

We're headed down into fall



I used to play the mouth harp pretty good

Hustled up a little dough

But I got drunk and I woke up rolled

A couple of months ago



They got my harp and they got my dollar

Them low life so and so's

Harps cost money and I ain't got it

It's my own fault, I suppose



The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'

Two freights everyday

If it was just me, I'd be headed south

But Marie can't catch no train



She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby

Says we gotta wait and see

In my heart I know it's a little boy

Hope he don't end up like me



Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file

I gotta stand in line again

I want to kill him but I just say no

I had enough of that line my friend



I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold

I'm feelin' too low down to lie

I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth

Hope she don't break down and cry



Marie she didn't wake up this morning

She didn't even try

She just rolled over and went to Heaven

My little boy safe inside



I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them

Caught a Chesapeak on the fly

Marie will know I'm headed south

So's to meet me by and by



Marie will know I'm headed south

So to meet me by and by


MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Every Time Christmas Comes Around



(McDonald/Harris)



Old man winter's coming on

The nights are long and the days are gray

The fading sound of the robin's song

Summer days seem a lifetime away



It's the time that we look to each other

To raise our spirits and chase the blues away

That time of year when we all get together

I see it comin' I can hardly wait



[Chorus:]

It's all right I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it

It's a good life no time to be sad

I feel so right every time christmas comes around



Children's laughter and the snow on the ground

Starts lifting my heart up baby

I feel the love and the joy all around

That's how I know that it's christmas darlin'



So glad that we've still got each other

And this love is a gift we'll exchange

A prayer for peace for my sisters and brothers

Let's ring the bell and bring on the holidays



[Chorus]

ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Joy To The World



Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n and nature sing

And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing



Joy to the world, the Saviour regains

Let men their songs employ

While friends and floods

Rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy



He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

The wonders of His Love

The wonders of His Love

The wonders, the wonders of His Love


B. B. KING lyrics - Everyday I Have The Blues (Version 3)



(Peter Chatman a. k.a. Memphis Slim)



Everyday, everyday I have the blues

Everyday, everyday I have the blues

When you see me worried baby, because it's you I hate to lose



Oh nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Yes nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Speaking of bad luck and trouble, well you know I had my share



I'm gonna pack my suitcase, move on down the line

Yes I'm gonna pack my suitcase, move on down the line

Where there ain't nobody worried, and there ain't nobody crying

SPARKS lyrics - Aeroflot



I don't know about you, but I'm sitting pretty

We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

Vodka on ice, and a hostess who's witty



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

Buckle up, buckle up, buckle up, daddy-o

Stow your bags overhead or it ain't a go

Buckle up, buckle up, buckle up, daddy-o

You never know, you never know, do you



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

We've got reservations



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

We've got reservations



I don't know about you, but I love adventure

We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot



On Aeroflot, every flight's an adventure

We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot



Stretch on out, daddy-o, we're talking space

Every pilot is an honored Mig ace

Leningrad, St. Petersburg, in either case

You never know, you never you, do you



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot"

We've got reservations



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

We've got reservations



Way back in coach they're singing 'Viva Vacation'

We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot



Up here in business is the United Nations

We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot



Blinis on your plate and Eisenstein on screen

Richard Branson must be turning red or green



Stewardesses look like high-school beauty queens

They never say nyet, service supreme, supreme



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

We've got reservations



We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot

We've got reservations



"Thank you for flying Aeroflot"

[Chorus:]

Something's got a hold on me

Yeah must be love

Whoah something's got a hold on me right now

Whoa it must be love


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Lost In Hollywood



I get up in the morning and I go to work

I try to keep busy but I feel the hurt

I see you around me ev'rywhere I turn

But you're gone - lost in Hollywood



You got up one morning,

Said you had to go

You would've gone

Even if I told you "no"

And all I could say was,

"Baby just take it slow,

You take care,

Don't get lost in Hollywood"



You had your dream, you had to find it

I begged you, "Girl, please don't go"

Now when I call to find if you're in

The answer always is "no"



You had to make it on your own

Just had to do it all alone for a while

Was not a lot that I could say

You had to have it your own way,

I suppose

Like some river that flows to the sea



And I should've known

That in time you would be leaving me

Leaving me



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood



I get home in the evening

But I just can't sleep

I lay on your pillow

And I feel your heat

And ev'rything here

Just keeps on reminding me

That you're gone - lost in Hollywood



I walk the streets, it sounds of laughter

But I hear only the pain

The morning comes,

The sunshine greets me

But I feel only the rain



But something gets me through the day

Something in my heart keeps saying to me

I just know you can't be far away

When you come home

Ev'rything's going to work out okay

Okay



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood



If you know where to find her

Then kindly remind her

While searching for finer

She's left love behind her

Yeah



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood



Hey, has anybody seen my girl

She's lost in Hollywood


BEACH BOYS lyrics - California Calling



If everybody in the U. S.A

Could come with us to Californ-i-a

We could take 'em to a place out west

Where the good sun shines everyday



Now there's a touch o' Californ-i-a

In everyone who's ever been this way

And when your telephone begins to ring

And the operator comes on the line



California callin'

I'll be there right away

There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave



Now I've joined the surfin' nation and so

I'll take a permanent vacation and go

To the golden shores of 'Frisco Bay

I'll ride 'em all the way to Malibu



And I'll take ya' boogie boardin' with me

'Cause when we're surfin' it's so great to be free

And when you're on a California beach

You might even find 'em windsurfin' too



California callin'

I'll be there right away

There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave



In the fifties it was "Hey Daddy O"

Then came the surfers and the Hodads ya' know

We had our woodies and our custom cars

And when we drove around we knew we were bad



My baby listens to my car radio

And when we're cruisin' lets the whole world know

And when our favorite surfin' song comes on

We always let 'em know it's "Totally Rad!"



California callin'

I'll be there right away

There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave



California callin'

She's still on the line

There's a beautiful woman

Gonna show me how

To ride 'em at the county line



California callin'

I'll be there right away

There's some beautiful women

Gonna find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave


BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - The Old Gods Return



(John Shirley, Eric Bloom and Donald Roeser)



Now is the time the moon is in alignment

With the unknown zodiac, the untold sign

Of the fiery maniac within each breast

Awaits a stirring irridescent whirring

Of a six eyed god whose wings beat

In a time so odd, so very odd

And we're all lost, all of us blessedly lost



Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever



Now is the time the old gods return

Now is the time the old gods return

Exactly when the world is not expecting it

Exactly when we're sure of ourselves

That's exactly when the old gods return

And sweep our cities back into hell



Now is the time that the old gods return

Now is the time that water begins to burn

Now is the time that the apes take wing

And we recognize them from that Oz thing

And we realize it was a prophecy

We realize it was a prophecy

Yeah the old gods laugh, it amuses them

The old gods laugh



Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever



Now is the time the old gods return

Now is the time the old gods return

Exactly when the world is not expecting it

Exactly when we're sure of ourselves

That's exactly when the old gods return

Amd sweep our cities...

And sweep our cities back into hell



Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever and ever

Forever forever and ever



Now is the time the old gods return

Now is the time the old gods return

Now is the time the old gods return

Now is the time the old gods return


JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Martha Say



Martha say she don't need no stinking man making no decisions for her.

She don't need his money, she don't need him between the sheets,

She ain't gonna sleep on the edge of the bed for no stinking man.

And that's the way she lives 'cause I saw her last night

Pouring water on a drowning man in the moonlight, saying:



Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,

Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister.

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha.



Martha say she don't need no revolver to shoot some idiot down.

She can do it with her eyes, she can do it with her smile,

She can do it with a conversation just walking down the hall.

Man, now ain't that the truth 'cause i saw her take a bite out of

Some macho dude laying some corn ball line on her last night, saying:



Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,

Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister.

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha.



Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother. (Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother.)

Hi-de-hi-de-ho, sister. (Hi-de-hi-de-hi, yeah.)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi. (Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah.)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, Martha.

Say what, look out, shake it up Martha.



Martha say say she ain't changin', no nothin' for nobody for

No damn good reason.

It's the way that she wants it, it's the way that she gets it.

Well, the girl loves playing hardball, it leaves me in a

No win situation saying:



Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,

Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister.

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha.



[Repeat]



Martha say she don't need no stinking man making no decisions for her.
