If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
WHEELS on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate my lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh, so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
Wheels on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call out
Then to give you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

No problem, I am pleased that you are alright.

Helen Wheels - Wings

Said farewell to my last hotel, it never was much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down when I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty, and the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, I wanna make this journey last
Helen (Helen)
Hell on WHEELS
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
M6 south down Liverpool, where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam, he came from Birmingham, but he never will be found
Doin' fine when a London sign greets me like a long lost friend
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's gotta take me back again
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
Got no time for a rum and lime, I wanna get my right foot down (get my right foot down)
Shake some dust off of this old bus, I gotta get her out of town (get her out of town)
Spend the day upon the motorway, where the carburetors blast (carburetors blast)
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, I wanna make this journey last
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
Say bye-bye!
(Bye-bye!)
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

Another occasion where I knew of the song but not well. Actually I knew a different version but went for the original.

If you find your sweetheart in the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches BEGIN
When dreams of a lifetime must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin
Love is a thing you never can share
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend, brother
That's, that's when your heartaches begin
And you know, when all of your dreams
When all your dreams of a lifetime must
Must all come to an end
Yeah that's, that's when your heartaches begin
Oh, you see love is a thing that
That you never can share
And you know, when you bring a friend, ah
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
Well, that's when your heartaches begin

Ready for it - Taylor Swift

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom, some
Some boys are tryin' too hard, he don't try at all though
Younger than my exes, but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta

I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know

In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?

Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin' sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist, and
We'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every love I've known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now

I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know (No one has to know)

In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Oh, are you ready for it?

Baby, let the games BEGIN
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin

I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know

In the middle of the night (Night), in my dreams (My dreams)
You should see the things we do (We do), baby (Baby), hmm (Eh)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (My dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you (I know I'm gonna be with you)
So I take my time
In the middle of the night

Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?

Stuck in the middle with you - Stealers Wheel

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
SLAP you on the back and say
"Please, please"
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see, it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
"Please, please"
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

[Verse 1]
Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
Will it soon pass me by?
In the middle of nowhere
Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you

[Verse 2]
Mmm, where did my heart land? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams I planned? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
Listen to me, baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me

[Bridge]
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?
Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

[Verse 3]
Where does our love lie? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
Are you gonna leave me?
Leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

[Bridge]
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

[Verse 3]
Where does our love lie? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die? (Hey, hey, hey)
In the middle of nowhere
Are you gonna leave me?
And leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

[Outro]
Hey, where does out love lie?
Come on now, where does our love lie? (Where does our love lie?)
Right SLAP in the middle of nowhere (Where does our love lie?)
Right slap in the middle of nowhere (Where does our love lie?)
Right slap in the middle of nowhere (Where does our love lie?)
Hey, where does our love lie? (Where does our love lie?)
Hey, I said, where does our love lie? (Where does our love lie?)

A little time - The Beautiful South


only registered users can see external links


I need a little time to think it over
I need a little space just on my own
I need a little time to find my freedom
I need a little
Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn't it?
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust
I need a little room to find myself
I need a little space to work it out
I need a little room all alone
I need a little
You need a little room for your big head, don't you, don't you?
You need a little space for a thousand beds, won't you, won't you?
Lips that promise, fear the worst
Tongue so SHARP, the bubble burst
Just into unjust
I've had a little time to find the truth
Now I've had a little room to check what's wrong
I've had a little time, and I still love you
I've had a little
You had a little time and you had a little fun, didn't ya, didn't you?
While you had yours, do you think I had none, do you, do ya?
The freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good, I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad
I had a little time to think it over
Had a little room to work it out
I found a little courage to call it off
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

Word of the day for Sunday 4th January - HELL

A hazy shade of winter - The Bangles


only registered users can see external links


Time, time time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Don't look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside's, there's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around
Leaves are brown, now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around
Leaves are brown, now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of SNOW on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Merry Christmas everyone - Shakin’ Stevens

SNOW is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Time for parties and celebration
People dancing all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight
Room is swaying, records playing
All the songs, we love to hear
All I wish that everyday was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Ooh, Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone

The power of love - Jennifer Rush

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the POWER of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Ooh The power of love
The power of love

Fantasy - Mariah Carey

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kind of hectic inside
Mmm, baby, I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind

But it's just a sweet, sweet FANTASY , baby
When I close my eyes, you come and take me
On and on and on, it's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby (Fantasy)
(And I want you so bad)

Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again

But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes, you come and take me
On and on and on, it's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby (Fantasy)
Oh, oh, it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes you come and take me
On and on and on, it's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby (Fantasy)

I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping

Oh, it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes, you come and take me
On and on and on, it's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
When I close my eyes, you come and take me
On and on and on, it's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby
Sweet, sweet

Love me for what I am - Carpenters


only registered users can see external links


We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together we've been happy
I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes
Have been slowly taking place
You're always finding something
Is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life
Because it pleases you
You've got to love me for what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me for what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me
To feed your FANTASY
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be free
If what you want
Isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you
What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection
Is only in your mind
For all your expectations
Love can never be designed
We either take each other
For everything we are
Or leave the life we've made behind
And make another start
You've got to love me for what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me if what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be free
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be free
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be free

Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls, with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid WEST farmers' daughters
Really make you feel all right
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand (ooh)
I've been all around this great big world
And I've seen all kind of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California (girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the)

Take me home country roads - Olivia Newton John

Almost Heaven, WEST Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

Go east young man - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


I'm gonna go where the desert sun is
Go where I know the fun is
Go where the harem girls dance
Go where there's love and romance

Out on the burning sands, in some caravan
I'll find adventure, while I can
To say the least, go on, go EAST young man

Go east young man, go east young man
You'll feel like a sheik, so rich and grand
With dancing girls at your command
Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

I'm gonna go where the night's enchanted
Go where those dreams are granted
When paradise starts calling, into some tent I'm crawling

I hear those desert drums, and when nighttime comes
Then I'll make love the way I planned
To say the least, go on, go east young man

Go east young man, go east young man
You'll feel like a sheik, so rich and grand
With dancing girls at your command
Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

Everybody’s talking’ - The Beautiful South

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the north EAST winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

Now, I have found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday
Living tomorrow
Where in the world will I be tomorrow?
How far am I able to see?
Or am I needed here?
Now, I have found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains EVERYDAY
If I remember
All of the things I have done
I'd remember
All of the times I've gone wrong
Why do they keep me here?
Now, I have found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday
And now, I've found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday
And now, I've found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday
And now, I've found
That the world is round
And of course
It rains everyday

Dreams of the everyday housewife - Glen Campbell


only registered users can see external links


She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles
That weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way?
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
As something comes into her mind
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the EVERYDAY housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
The photograph album she takes from the closet
And slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered with age
She closes her eyes and
Touches the house dress that suddenly disappears
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind

Building your dream has to start now
There's no other road to take

Through every turn, I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive for you

Get on your feet - Gloria Estefan

You say I know it's a waste of time
There's no use trying
So scared that life's gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Not long ago
I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear is now overcast
With mixed emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
STAND up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder

I think it's true
That we've all been through some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There's so much in life that's meant for you

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder

Get up and make it happen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action

You gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder

Get on your feet
Get up, get up, get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up, stand up and take some action
Get on your feet

You're always in my heart
From early in the morning 'til it's dark
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every day
When I wake up in the morning and I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I got to see your sweet, sweet SMILE every day
I got to know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
And I got to feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
If my time's bringing me down
You're the only one that I want around
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every day
And if I'm all strung out
You're the only one who can straighten me out
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I got to know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
And I got to feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
I got to know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
And I got to feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And you'll always be there
I got to know that you care
You're always in my heart
From early in the morning 'til it's dark
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I got to see your sweet, sweet smile every

How would you like to be a little circus clown?

And you can sing me songs like I never heard
Come on and buzz a little, buzz a little
Sing a little, sing a little
Buzz a little, sing a little bit with me

Da-da-da-da-da
(X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S)
Ah, it's CHRISTMAS time, can't skip the beat
Somethin's comin', comin', comin' over me
How we get through it? It's a mystery
Gettin' all the presents underneath the tree
So I can't stop now, I got to go
No huggin' and-a kissin' out in the snow
Put it on the menu for later though
Anythin' can happen, baby, I don't know
But I think we're gonna have a magical time
Ringin' all the bells on the edge of the night (da-da-da-da-da)
No one knows the words but we're singin' along
To our song
Everybody goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
Oh, yeah, we're goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
Let me hear you goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
All night, we're goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
By the fireplace, or out in the street
Oh, I don't care as long as you are next to me
Even in the cold, we're feelin' the heat
You and me together underneath the tree
But I think we're gonna have a magical time
Ringin' all the bells on the edge of the night (da-da-da-da-da)
No one knows the words, but we're singin' along
To our song
Everybody goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
Oh, yeah, we're goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
Let me hear you goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
All night, we're goin' X-M-A-S, X-M-A-S
X, the kisses that I got for you
M, and a very merry Christmas too
A, all the love that's in the room
S, yes, yes, yes

Little louder now

Will you still love me tomorrow - Francoise Hardy


only registered users can see external links


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?
Tonight beneath the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You said 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?

Hard knocks - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


Some kids born with a silver spoon
I guess that I was born a little too soon

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my SHARE

Some kids born as rich as a king
But I was born without a doggone thing

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share

I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I've heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share

I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I've heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but

Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share of hard knocks

Elusive Butterfly - Bob Lind


only registered users can see external links


You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might HAVE heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Have I told you lately that I love you - Elvis

HAVE I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now (telling you now)
Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me?
Well darling I'm telling you now (telling you now)
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
Dear, have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, darling (darling)
I'm telling you now (telling you now)
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, darling (darling)
I'm telling you now (telling you now)
Well darling I'm telling you now

The day before you came - ABBA


only registered users can see external links


Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at HALF past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

Paradise is half as nice - Amen Corner


only registered users can see external links


If paradise is HALF as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth
For me where you are
A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around my heart always pounds
Just like a brass band
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
Oh yes I'd rather have you
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
Oh yes I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth
To me where you are
A look from your eyes a touch of your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land

Chances are - Johnny Mathis

CHANCES are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, hold me close, dear
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
The chances are your chances are awfully good

It’s a heartache - Bonnie Tyler

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the COLD rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he lets you down

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he lets you down

It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he lets you down

It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain

On the back of my neck

Green green grass of home - Tom Jones


only registered users can see external links


The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak TREE
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home

Lemon tree - Sandie Shaw


only registered users can see external links


When I was just a child of ten, my mama, she said to me
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
Don't put your trust in love, my child" my mama, she said to me
I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon TREE”
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Beneath that lemon tree one day, my love and I we did lie
A boy so sweet that when he smiled all the stars rose in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree
The music of his laughter hid my mamas's words from me
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
One day he left without a word, he took away all the sun
And in the dark that he left behind, I knew what he done done
He left me for another, it's a common tale but true
A sadder girl, but wiser now, I sing this song to you
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree (lemon tree), lemon tree (lemon tree)
Lemon tree (lemon tree), lemon tree (lemon tree)
