Love of the Common People - PAUL YOUNG

Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
What can you do, hmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn′t have a dress without a patch for the party to go
But you know she'll get by

′Cause she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama′s gonna love you just as much as she can (It′s so cold)
And she can

It's a good thing you don′t have a bus fare (it's a good thing, ah-chh)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you′d lose it in the snow on the ground (a-ah-e-ah)
You got to walk into town to find a job (what's enough?)
Tryin′ to keep your hands warm (it's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through and chill you to the bone (brr-cha)
Somehow you'd better go home where it′s warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy′s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it′s so cold)
And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit (closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (a-ah-e-ah)
′Cause we take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is in your foundation (ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na)
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don′t forget to pray (forget to pray)
It's makin' it strong, where you belong

And we′re living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy′s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it′s so cold)
And she can

No milk today - Herman’s Hermits

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a COMMOM sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played, the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for love, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a COMMON sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town

From a Distance - Bette Midler

only registered users can see external links

From a distance, the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance, we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Marching in a COMMON band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance, I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting's for
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man (every man)
It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every man
And God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
Oh, God is watching us
God is watching
God is watching us
From a distance

Oye Mi Canto (Hear my voice) - Gloria Estefan

Take me only for what I am
You've got a right to speak your mind
You've gotta take a stand
No one has the right to say
This is right or that is wrong
It isn't just one way

Find COMMON ground
Go in between
Things aren't always what they seem

Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight

People, let's give each other room
If we're gonna work it out
We better make it soon
Love is, love is such a common word
When it's pride we mistake for love
Isn't that absurd

Why always take the upper hand
It's better to understand

Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight

Oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)

I believe in love but with no conditions
(Oye mi canto)
And giving in sometimes doesn't make it submission
(Oye mi canto)
Hate is so common it's almost tradition
(Oye mi canto)
Come on let's leave it behind and make that transition
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)

Oye, oye, oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)
Óyelo, óyelo
(Oye mi canto)
Que me tiene que oír, oye este canto
(Oye mi canto)
Óyelo, oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
Oye mi canción es del corazón
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
Oye, oye mi canto
Oye mi canto
Oye mi canto

Bella! I hope you are feeling better

Eagles ~ Life in the Fast Lane

only registered users can see external links

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in COMMON
They were good in bed, she'd say
"Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"
surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
(Life in the fast lane) everything, all the time
(Life in the fast lane) a-ha
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring"
"We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddam thing"
He said, "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash"
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost
They didn't care, they were just dyin' to get off, and it was
surely makes you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time
(Life in the fast lane) a-ha

De La Soul - The Magic Number

(Got to have soul)
Three, that's the magic number
(Three) Yes, it is, it's the magic number (Three)
Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
Was born three: Mase, Dove, and me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)

Difficult preachin' is Posdnuos' pleasure
Pleasure in preachin' starts in the heart
Something that stimulates the music in a measure
Measure in the music, breaks in three parts
Casually see but don't do like the soul
'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
Doin' hip-hop hustle, no rock and roll
Unless your name's Brewster, 'cause Brewster's a Punky (Three)

Parents let go, 'cause there's magic in the air
Criticizing rap shows you're out of order
Stop, look and listen to the phrasin' Fred Astaires
And don't get offended while Mase do-si-do's your daughter
A tri-cameral system is now set
Fly rhymes are stored under Da.I.S.Y Productions
It stands for "Da Inner Sound, Y'all" and y'all can bet
That the action's not a trick, but sure 'nough a function
(What does it all mean?)

Everybody wants to be a DJ
Everybody wants to be an emcee
But being speakers are the best
And you don't have to guess
De La Soul posse consist of three
And that's the magic number
(Three)

This here piece of the pie
Is not dessert, but the course that we dine
And three out of every darn time
The effect is "Mmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
Showing true position, this here piece is
Kissin' the part of the pie that's missin'
When that negative number fills up the casualty
Maybe you can subtract it
You can call it your lucky partner
Maybe you can call it your adjective
But odd as it may be
Without my one and two where would there be
My three? Mase, Posand me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)

Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
COMMON are speakers who honor the scroll
Scrolls written daily creates a new sound
Listeners listen 'cause this here is wisdom
Wisdom of a Speaker, a Dove and a Plug
Set aside a legal substance to feed 'em
For now get 'em high off this dialect drug (Three)
Time is a factor so it's time to count
Count not the negative actions of one
Speakers of soul say it's time to shout
Three forms the soul to a positive sum
Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
Space can be filled if you ride like my lumber
Advance to the tune but don't do the hustle
Shake, rattle, roll to my magic number
(Three)

Now you may try to subtract it
But it just won't go away
Three times one?
(What is it?)
(One, two, three)
And that's a magic number

Yo, what's up?

One, two, three

(I say, children, what does it all mean?)

(Woah-woah-woah, one, two, three)

[?]
(I wouldn't lie to you)

(No more no less, that's a magic number (Three))
(No more no less)

(What it is)
(No more no less)

Is this the future?
(No more no less)

Do the shang-a-lang
(No more no less)

Lord, tomboy tryna talk to me
(No more no less)

Anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?
(No more no less)

How high's the water, mama?
(No more no less)
How high's the water, mama?
(No more no less)
(Three feet high and rising)
(No more no less)

Three, that's a magic number

Led Zeppelin - The Battle of Evermore

The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all
Oh-oh

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red
Oh, war is the COMMON cry
Pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad
Mortals never know, oh

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on
Sing as you raise your bow (Ride on)
Shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back
Bring it back

At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes!
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhh

Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Ooh now, oh now, oh now, oh
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it

Primus - My Name Is Mud

My name is Mud
My name is Mud

Not to be confused with Billy, Jack, Pete or Dennis
My name is Mud, it's always been
'Cause I'm the most boring sonsabitch you've ever seen
I dress in blue, yes, navy blue
From head to toe I'm rather drab except my patent shoes
I make 'em shine, well most the time
'Cept today my feet were trodden on by this friend of mine
Six foot two and rude as hell
I got to get him in the ground before he starts to smell

My name is Mud
My name is Mud

My name is Mud
But call me Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie
That's long for Mud, so I've been told
Told that by this sonsabitch that lies before me
Bloated, blue and cold
I've got my pride, I drink my wine
I'd drink only the finest
'Cept I haven't earned a dime in several months
Or were it years?
The breath on that fat bastard could bring any man to tears
We had our words, a COMMON spat
So I kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat
My name is Mud
My name is Mud
M-M-M-M-M-Mud
My name is Mud

Where you goin', city boy?

Get well soon, Bella!

Dancing in the Dark - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

only registered users can see external links

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm SICK of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby

I hope you get well soon and are back on your feet.

From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics

Oh, baby now let's get down tonight (ba-ba-ba, bum)
Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven (heal me my darling, heal me my darling)
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer (heal me my darling, heal me my darling)
It's getting stronger and stronger
When I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue teardrops are fallin'
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up, baby
And honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing
Oh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing
Let's make love tonight
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
'Cause you do it right
Baby, I got SICK this mornin' (heal me my darling, heal me my darling)
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'(heal me my darling, heal me my darling)
The waves are risin' and risin'
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healing, baby, it's good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Well, it's good for me and it's so good to me my baby, oh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making it, honey
I'll be feeling fine
You're my medicine, open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate
(Heal me my darling)
(Heal me my darling)
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling (heal me my darling)
I need sexual healing
Oh, when I get this feeling (heal me my darling)
I need sexual healing
I gotta have sexual healing, darling (heal me my darling)
'Cause I'm all alone
I need Sexual healing, darling (heal me my darling)
'Til you come back home (heal me my darling)
Please don't procrastinate
It's not good to masturbate

Please, I just got to talk to you
Please, well keep your head out of the loo
Please, we're a long, long way from home
Please, you'd turn a young man's face to stone
SICK as a dog, what's your story
SICK as a dog, a cat got your tongue

Save the night

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fight Like a Brave

Rrah!

All you slingers and fiends hide behind your rocks
Put down your guard, I'm not here to box
This is no showdown so throw down your guns
You see it doesn't matter where you come from
You could be from Park Ave or from a park bench
You could be a politician or a bitchy princess
But if you're lookin' for a fist and you're lookin' to unite
Put your knuckleheads together, make a fist and fight
Not to your death and not to your grave
I'm talkin' 'bout that freedom, fight like a brave

Fight like a brave, don't be a slave
No one can tell you, you've got to be afraid

If you're sick-a-sick 'n' tired of being sick and tired
If you're sick of all the bullshit and you're sick of all the lies
It's better late than never to set-a-set it straight
You know the lie is dead so give yourself a break
Or get it through your head and get it off your chest
Or get it out your arm because it's time to start fresh
You want to stop dying, the life you could be livin'
I'm here to tell a story but I'm also here to listen
No I'm not your preacher and I'm not your physician
I'm just a-trying to reach you, I'm a rebel with a mission

Fight like a brave, don't be a slave
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid
Fight like a brave, don't be a slave
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid

I am here today to talk about the Uplift Mofo Party Plan
A plan based on a band, a band based on a plan
There shall be no slaves in the land of lands
It's a Hollywood jam

You say you're running and you're running and you're running afraid
You say you ran across the planet but you couldn't get away
The fire in your brain was driving you insane
You were looking for a day in a life that never came
So don't tell me that, I've got to take a number
'Cause I've been to that doctor and believe me, that's a bummer
He's one of a kind, convention of the mind
And don't forget to mention that it doesn't cost a dime
Come as you like and leave at any time
And one more thing, you know it doesn't have to rhyme

Fight like a brave (fight like a brave) don't be a slave (another slave)
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid
Fight like a brave (fight like a brave) don't be a slave (another slave)
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid
Fight like a brave (fight like a brave) don't be a slave (another slave)
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid
Fight like a brave (fight like a brave) don't be a slave (another slave)
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid
Fight like a brave (fight like a brave) don't be a slave (another slave)
No one can tell you you've got to be afraid

Therapy? - Speedball

You want to know what grows inside my head
You make incisions with a rusty can
You judge me by the standards that you set
A perfect world built by a hypocrite

You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick
You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick

Everything you never see in me
Pre-decided by your blinded eyes
Blinkered visions from a narrow mind
Fuels your anger and the wrath inside

You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick
You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick

You make me sick

You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick
You make me sick, you make me sick
You make me sick

Sick, sick, sick, sick

Van Halen ~ And The Cradle Will Rock

only registered users can see external links

Well, they say it's kinda frightenin'
How this younger generation swings
You know it's more than just some new sensation
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
And he don't come home for half the WEEK
You know it's more than just an aggravation
And the cradle will rock
Yes the cradle, cradle will rock
And I say rock on, ooh
Rock on
And when some local kid gets down
They try an' drum him outta town
They say "Ya coulda least faked it,
Boy", fake it, boy (Ooh, stranger, boy)
At an early age he hits the street
And winds up tired with who he meets
An' he's unemployed
(Unemployed) Oww
And the cradle will rock, ow!
And the cradle, the cradle will rock
An' I say rock on
Oh! Say, rock on
Have you seen Junior's grades
Ooh
Ow
And when some local kid gets down
They try an' drum him outta town
They say "Ya could've least faked it, boy, faked it, boy"
And so an early age he hits the street
'N winds up tired with who he meets
An' he's unemployed
His folks are overjoyed
And the cradle will rock
Yes the cradle, the cradle will rock
I say rock on
Hey! Rock on

​The Jam - The Eton Rifles

Sup up your beer and collect your fags
There's a row going on down near Slough
Get out your mat and pray to the West
I'll get out mine and pray for myself

Thought you were smart when you took them on
But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?

Hello-hurray, what a nice day
For the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-hurray, I hope rain stops play
For the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles

Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse
Tore down the House of Commons in your brand new shoes
Composed a revolutionary symphony
Then went to bed with a charming young thing

Hello-hurray, cheers then, mate
It's the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-hurray, an extremist scrape
With the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing like a naughty schoolboy

We came out of it naturally the worst
Beaten and bloody, and I was sick down my shirt
We were no match for their untamed wit
Though some of the lads said they'd be back next WEEK

Hello-hurray, it's the price to pay
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-hurray, I'd prefer the plague
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles

Hello-hurray, it's the price to pay
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-hurray, I'd prefer the plague
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles

Fairytale of New York - THE POGUES

only registered users can see external links

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank
An old man said to me, "Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song, 'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
I turned my face away and dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen-to-one
I've got a feeling this year's for me and you
So, Happy Christmas, I love you, baby
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome, you were pretty, queen of New York City
When the band FINISHED playing, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day

You're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

"I could have been someone" Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack

only registered users can see external links

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would FINISH
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me (softly)

He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song

Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright - Bob Dylan

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window, and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think TWICE, it's all right

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more

I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey, baby
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Great White ~ Once Bitten TWICE Shy

only registered users can see external links

Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on the grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh, so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Halfway home in the parkin' lot
By the look in her eye she was givin' what she got
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy baby
Ah, woman, you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE, shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy baby
Alright!
I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now, it's dark as it's done
Oh my, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten TWICE, shy
So shy
Oh so shy
So shy, baby
So shy
So shy, so shy
So, so shy, so shy

Another Day in Paradise - PHIL COLLINS

only registered users can see external links

She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?'

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, 'cause it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, think about it

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, think about it

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, 'cause another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, just think about it, think about it

It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise, paradise
Just think about it, paradise, just think about it
Paradise, paradise, paradise

Happy Mondays - Dennis And Lois

We all learn to box at the Midget Club
Where we punch with love and did someone some good
It's good to see ya, to see ya nice
If you do me once, well we'll do it twice
We're twice as likely we're twice as bright
You say it's wrong but we know it's right

Right
Right on, right on
Right
Right on, right on

We all learn to wash at the scrubbers club
Where we ring out the dirt with rub a dub dub
Tell me how you think if you think it's good
Say it loud and clear so it's understood
You take it how you make it like I knew you would
Let it bleed let it heal let me sleep it's no good, so...

Let's ride
Right on right on
Let's ride
Right on right on

Honey how's your breathing
If it stops for good we'll be leaving
And honey how's your daughter
Did you teach 'er what 'e's taught yer
And if you didn't well you ought to do it now

So let's ride
Ride on ride on
Let's Ride
Ride on ride...

Honey how's your breathing
If it stops for good we'll be leaving
And honey how's your daughter
Did you teach 'er what 'e's taught yer
And if you didn't well you ought to do it now

Waking Up - ELASTICA

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show
In my heart, you know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life, you know

Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh woah ah, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh woah ah, I think you should know
Oh woah ah, I think you should go
Make a CUP of tea, put a record on

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar and a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star, I won't get out of bed

Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh woah ah, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh woah ah, I think you should know
Oh woah ah, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on

Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh woah ah, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy

Oh woah ah, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on

My favourite line is:
"If I can't be a star, I won't get out of bed"

A Day in the Life - The Beatles

only registered users can see external links

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a CUP
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on

Gethsemane - from ‘Jesus Christ Sperstar’ - Michael Ball

Jesus
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this CUP away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me
I have changed
I'm not as sure, as when we started
Then, I was inspired
Now, I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God
Want to see, I'd want to see, my God
Want to see, I'd want to see, my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Why should I die? Oh why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why
Alright, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now, I'm sad and tired
After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started, I didn't start it
God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me
Take me, now!
Before I change my mind

Stranger in the crowd - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


I'd been standing on the corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
Had it quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people
Passing by me, going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all that I could see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
Love had found us on the corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were too good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in Heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup of love is overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
Deep inside, my CUP of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more

Jethro Tull ~ Aqualung

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot's running down his nose
Greasy fingers, smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Oh, Aqualung
Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a CUP of tea
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
Was screaming agony?
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring
Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a CUP of tea
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me
Me, oh-oh-oh
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me, yeah
Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snot's running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Hey, Aqualung
Woah, Aqualung

Bob Marley - One Cup Of Coffee

One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do
But it won't replace the heartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go

Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know

So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Brothers Cup

Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact

It was our shoulder space that made the perfect place
For the magic of the cup to style out with grace
With a tight turn twist and a slight swerve swank
The brothers cup kissed with a kickass clank

We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up

Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact

So love all your brothers and love all your sisters
Love all the misses and love all the misters
Don't be shy when you're sharin' your kisses
The brothers cup kiss and we ain't sissies

We are the brothers cup
We are the brothers cup
Get it?
Good
Good
Alright
Keep it, keep it

It is our notion that the perfect peace potion
Can be found in the wake of the green sea's motion
The long rocking swell of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace it's the perfect peace potion

Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife

With the power of the cup we are about to astound
All your preconceptions, they will come unbound
We're the brothers cup coming to your town
Bringing tubs of love we're going to spread it around

We are the brothers cup
We are the brothers cup

We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up

Gomez - Fill My Cup

We're nowhere in particular
We're nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

I sleep alone
On my very own
Sitting sick at home

Baby, up, make me happen
Wake me up, make it right
Weigh me up, give me the reason
The reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

Picking up girls who have diseases
That burn me up, burn me up

Been sleeping all my life
Fill my cup, make me happen
Fill my cup, make me smile
