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

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

When this dumb pretty bitch turned my radio off

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

When they walk past me, I do 'em like this
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
Now I wanna be your dog
Well c'mon
Now I'm ready to close my eyes
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"

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Something's Got A Hold On Me
(Woods / Kirkland)
One two three four
[Chorus:]
Something's got a hold on me
Yeah must be love
Whoah something's got a hold on me right now
Yeah must be love
Well I got a feeling and I feel so strange
And everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step I gotta find me a walk
I even sound different when I talk
I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh) wow
Something's got a hold on me
And it must be love

Well I never felt this way before
Something's got a hold on me and won't let go
Believe I'd fly just a whole day for you
It sounds so strange but it feels so good
I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh) wow
Something's got a hold on me
And it must be love
Well now my heart feels heavy and my feet feel light
I shake all over but I feel all right
I never thought this could happen to me
Well I'm in heaven when I'm in misery
Well I never thought this could be this way
Well I know baby that this is the day
Well I never thought it could be this way
But now you're gone It's been a-hurtin' on me

It sounds so strange but it feels so good
I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh)
Somehting's got a hold on me
And it must be love
Yeah it must be love
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.
