Hold On Tight - ELO

only registered users can see external links

Mmm, hold on TIGHT to your dream, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream, yeah
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream
Hmm, it's a long time to be gone
Oh, time just rolls on and on (hold on)
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just-a hold on tight to your dream
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much, but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you go
Accroche-toi à ton rêve
Accroche-toi à ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroche-toi à ton rêve
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much, but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you go
Yeah, hold on tight to your dream, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream, yeah
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream
Ooh, yeah, hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, yeah, hold on tight
To your dream

Red Neckin' Love Makin' Night ~ Conway Twitty

only registered users can see external links

Hello baby, Conway here
Let me lay this in your ear
Get ready to go, but we gonna roll about sundown
I got some boogie woogie music on the old 8-track
Yeah, I got the top laid back
And we'll go cruisin' and we'll go foolin' around

Well here I am baby, are you ready to play?
Slide it on in, we'll slip away
We gotta get it, we ain't got a minute to waste
I got a 6-pack of longnecks, the trunk on ice
Ooh but you sure look nice
Makes me want to hug you and kiss you all over your face

Well it's a red neckin', love makin' night
You ain't had much 'til you been touched in the moonlight
You feel it the most when you get real close and you hold on tight
It's a red neckin', love makin' night
It's a red neckin', love makin' night

Stars in your eyes, the wind in your hair
Oh, what a down home love affair
When we go out walkin', we know what we're talkin' about
Listen to the whippoorwills how they sing
Just like us, they're doin' their thing
We know what we got when the nights gets hot down south

Yeah, it's a red neckin', love makin' night
You ain't had much 'til you been touched in the moonlight
You feel it the most when you get real close and you hold on tight
It's a red neckin', love makin' night
It's a red neckin', love makin' night

It's a red neckin', love makin' night
You ain't had much 'til you been touched in the moonlight
You feel it the most when you get real close and you hold on tight
Well, it's a red neckin', love makin' night
It's a red neckin', love makin' night

Hey
Eat your heart out killer
You know I love you

Red neckin', love makin' night
Now don't wreck-in my phone son
Let him in dear
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, hold on tight
Ahh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A red neckin', love makin' night
You ain't had much 'til you been touched in the moonlight
You feel it the most when you get real close and you hold on tight
It's a red neckin', love makin' night
It's a red neckin', love makin' night

Hold TIGHT, count to three
Gotta stay close by me
You can hold tight, sing and shout
Just ride my round-about
And hold tight, shut your eyes
Girl you suit me for size
Forget the other guys
You'll never fall each time you call
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight make me feel
What you say is for real
And hold tight, Carousel
Girl you'll soon ring my bell
And hold tight, then we'll fly
Swinging low, swinging high
We're gonna make the sky
You'll never fall each time you call
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, count to three
Gotta stay close by me
And hold tight, sing and shout
Just ride my round-about
And hold tight, shut your eyes
Girl you suit me for size
Forget the other guys
You'll never fall each time you call
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

Well, just as TIGHT as you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough
Just as tight as you can shake it, girl
Get it on and do your stuff
Tight as you can get it
Tight as got it made
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well, just as tight as an Indian rope trick
Long and tough ain't hard enough
Just as tight as a dope fiend's fix, my friend
Get it up and do your stuff
Tight as you can boogie
Tight as got it laid
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well
Alright
Alright
Ooh-ooh
Well, tight as you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough

Get it on and do your stuff
Tight as you can get it
Tight as got it made
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well, tight as an Indian rope trick
Hard and long ain't hard enough
Just as tight as a dope fiend's fix, my friend
Get it up and do your stuff
Tight as you can boogie
Tight as got it laid
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well
Well, tight as got me cornered
Tight as got me laid
Tight as strut your stuff so tough
Just a sittin' in the midnight shade
Tight as she can boogie
Tight as she got laid
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Well, whoa!
Woo!
Ah, yes
Woo-hoo, ooh-ooh

Hold me close now, hold me TIGHT
Don't let go of me tonight
You're all I want, you're all I need
Hold me close now, hold me TIGHT
And don't let go of me tonight
Sweet paradise, yeah
How I love all of those crazy little things you've said and done for me
You're the one for me
Darlin', dry your eyes, I can't stand to see you cry
Now just turn and walk away,
Don't look back when I say goodbye paradise
Days go by and life goes on,
I feel I've been away too long
What I would give to be with you,
Days go by and life drags on
Feel I've been away too long,
For much too long, yeah
And all the while that I'm away,
Don't let our love fade away, don't you fade away
Now as sure as the sun is gonna shine, the day will come
Now I'm waitin' for the day
There'll be no more sayin' goodbye paradise
My sweet paradise, you are the reason why it tears me up inside
And I break down and cry, didn't wanna say goodbye paradise
I'm comin' home to you tonight, comin' home to you tonight
So hold on TIGHT, tonight I'm on my way back home to paradise
I'm so lost without you, I can't live without you
I've been away too long, now, tonight I'm on my way back home to you
My my paradise, my my paradise
To hold you in my arms, you're all that I adore
To see your smilin' face as I walk through the door
I'll never say goodbye again, no

The Beach Boys - Wouldn’t It Be Nice

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
After having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

But happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never-ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true (Run, run, we-ooh)
Oh, baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
Oh, we could be married (Oh, we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (And then we'd be happy)
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
But wouldn't it be nice?

Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

Gloria Jones - Tainted Love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain
You drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give and that's not nearly all

Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want
Any love from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you TIGHT
And who thinks love is to play
Well, I'm sorry, I don't play that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give and that's not nearly all

Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me, please (Please)
I cannot stand the way you (Tease)
I know you a-hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go (Oh)

Tainted love (Oh)
Oh, tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love, oh
Tainted love (Oh)
Touch me, baby
Tainted love (Oh)
Touch me, baby
Tainted love (Oh)...

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy

A long, long, long, long time ago
Before the wind, before the snow
Lived a man, lived a man I know
Lived a freak of nature named Sir Psycho
“Sir Psycho Sexy, that is me!
Sometimes I find I need to scream”

He's a freak of nature, but we love him so
He's a freak of nature, but we let him go

Deep inside the garden of Eden
Standing there with my hard on bleedin'
There's a devil in my dick and some demons in my semen
Good God no, that would be treason
Believe me, Eve, she gave good reason
Booty looking too good not to be squeezin'
Creamy beaver hotter than a fever
I'm a givin' cause she's the receiver
I won't and I don't hang up until I please her
Makin' her feel like an over achiever
I take it away for a minute just to tease her
Then I give it back a little bit deeper

Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (He's the man that I met one time)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (He's the man that left me blind)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (He's the man, he's the man, he's the man)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (Yeah)

He's a freak of nature, but we love him so
He's a freak of nature, but we let him go

I got stopped by a lady cop in my automobile
She said get out and spread your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "What's up? Now suck my dick"
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch, so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped, "Ooh, that's TIGHT"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (I'm the man that you met one time)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (I'm the man that'll leave you blind)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah

Hello young woman that I love
Pretty punk rock mamma that I'm thinking of
Hold me naked if you will
In your arms, in your legs, in your pussy, I'd kill
To be with you, to kiss with you, I do miss you
I love you

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Descending waves of graceful pleasure
For your love, there is no measure
Her curves they bend with subtle splendor

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the funk will make me freak
If I should die before I waked
Allow me Lord to rock out naked
Bored by the ordinary time to take a trip
Calling up a little girl with a bull whip
Lickety split go snap "snap"
Girl gettin' off all in my lap
The tallest tree the sweetest sap
Blowin' my ass right off the map
Ooh and it's nice out here
I think I'll stay for a while

Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up) ~ Garth Brooks

only registered users can see external links

Six o'clock on Friday evening
Momma doesn' t know she's leaving
'Til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin' gears a jamming

Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo
Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning
Girl you better get your red head

Back in bed before the morning
Nine o'clock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows he's anticipating

But she's gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then they're heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing

Just ain't what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where it's George Strait 'til real late
And dancing cheek to cheek

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up

Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One o'clock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping

Break to check the clock at three
They're right on where they want to be
Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up

Six o'clock on Saturday
Her folks don't know he's on his way
The stalls are clean, the horses fed
They say she's grounded 'til she's dead

Well here he comes around the bend
Slowing down, she's jumping in
Hey mom, you're daughter's gone
And there they go again

Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up

No Reflection ~ Marilyn Manson

only registered users can see external links

Crushing, cheating, changing
Am I deaf or dead?
Is this constricting construction
Or just streets with rusty signs
Of something violent coming?

This'll hurt you worse than me
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak
Don't run from me I won't
Bother counting one, two, three

I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection

Show myself how to make a noose
A gun's cliche, and a razor too
I'm not a death share vacation, vacant station
Made of scars and filled with my old wounds

This'll hurt you worse than me
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak
Don't run from me I won't
Bother counting one, two, three

I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection

You, you don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you

I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection
I don't know which me that I love
Got no reflection

No Reflection
No Reflection

I've got no reflection

I Can't Stop Loving You - Leo Sayer

only registered users can see external links

So you? re leaving in the morning
On the early train
I could say everything? s alright
I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket, got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that? s the way it goes
I could pretend and you won? t know that I was lying? Cause I can? t stop loving you
I can? t stop loving you
No, I can? t stop loving you
Though I try
We took a taxi to the STATION
Not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
Maybe the last time, I don? t know
Feeling humble, I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you don? t know that I was lying? Cause I can? t stop loving you
No, I can? t stop loving you
I can? t stop loving you
Though I try? Cause I can? t stop loving you
I can? t stop loving you
No, I can? t stop loving you
Though I try

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication

It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication

Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off STATION to STATION?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean on vacation

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

The Jam - Down in the tube station at midnight
​
The distant echo of far away voices boarding far away trains
To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps, repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked, except for toffee wrappers
And this morning's papers, Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage, and I'm down in the tube station at midnight

I fumble for change, and pull out the Queen, smiling, beguiling
I put in the money and pull out a plum, behind me
Whispers in the shadows, gruff blazing voices, hating, waiting
Hey boy, they shout, have you got any money?
But I say, I've a little money and a take away curry
I'm on the way home to my wife, she'll be lining up the cutlery
And now she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

I first felt a fist, and then a kick, I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings, my life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather, it blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses, couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said, "I was down in the tube station at midnight" Hey

The last thing that I saw as I lay there on the floor
Was 'Jesus Saves' painted by an atheist nutter
And a British Rail poster read
'Have an away day, a cheap holiday, do it today'
I glanced back on my life and thought about my wife
'Cause they took the keys, and she'll think it's me
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight

Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight

Forever and Ever, Amen ~ Randy Travis

only registered users can see external links

You may think that I'm talkin' foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
But you're not just time that I'm killin'
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live, this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh, baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn gray
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, it's easy to see, it's happenin' to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you
Oh, darlin', I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Well, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

Ever and ever, FOREVER and ever you'll be the one
That shines on me like the morning sun
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring
My rainbow's end and the song I sing
Take me far beyond imagination
You're my dream come true, my consolation
you'll be my dream
My symphony, my own lover's theme
(Ever and ever, forever and ever) my destiny
Will follow you eternally
Take me far beyond imagination
You're my dream come true, my consolation
you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun
(Ever and ever, forever and ever) my destiny
Will follow you eternally

It's My Life - Bon Jovi

only registered users can see external links

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live FOREVER
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
Yeah, this is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

The Charlatans - Forever

Forever you're my foundation
I know I can keep
Told I was good for nothing
Branded a cheat
Now I know why you listen
I can help you anytime
Love is all there is
I wonder what people do with our lives
Hey

Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Once more this will be forever

I can't withhold secrets
I know I'm going where the sun always shines
I know, my son, we've made it
It can't escape my mind
I know my star, I know my star
Is a brighter star, brighter star
Forever be in my arms
Forever be in my arms

This could be a myth in the making
Under a spell
Down to ambition
I guess you could even call it a miracle
I see my true love coming
My little bundle of joy
I can help you realise
It's us and us only

I know I'm as good as my neighbour
A starter for ten
I can't promise you I'll always need you
I promise I'll always be there

Oh! I wonder what you people do with our lives
Oh! I wonder what you people do with our lives
Hey, oh, I wonder what these people do with their lives

When you find it you'll feel it
I'll give you all my love
Hold it, don't leave it, misuse it
As long as you believe enough
My mind is multiplying
I have so much to give
I wouldn't underestimate you for the way you want to live

Forever (14x)

I'm Just An Old Chunck Of Coal ~ Billy Joe Shaver

only registered users can see external links

Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now, Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shaking everybody's hand
Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Unless I should become vain along the way
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal now, Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Angel Of Harlem - U2

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel
New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles, and she's got to be an angel
Lady Day got DIAMOND eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem
She says it's heart, heart and soul
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (right now)
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem

Shine On You Crazy Diamond ~ Pink Floyd

only registered users can see external links

Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun
Shine on, you crazy DIAMOND
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy DIAMOND
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on, you crazy DIAMOND(you crazy DIAMOND)
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on, you crazy DIAMOND
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, shine

Beastie Boys - Remote Control

Boom, yeah, the world mash up

Well, things get hectic quick
From the satellite dish to your joy stick
It's the night of the living cable box
Wires coming up from around the block
Remote control to change the station
But that won't change your situation
Have you seen what I mean
I'm the little gnome that's in your dreams
So I say this rhyme built by design
To take you beyond space and time
Said who is the man making DIAMONDS out of coal
The man pushing buttons on remote control

Re-mote, control
Remote control

Until your back's up against the wall
You never know yourself that much at all
So you've got to share your love with a friend
That's all that you've got left in the end
Living in this city of pure confusion
People misled by their own illusion
All this action, no satisfaction
We're all linked together like a chain reaction
Play or fold, love is bold
What is the future that will unfold?
Some like it hot, others like it cold
But we all want to hold the remote control

Re-mote, control
Re-mote, control
Re-mote, control
Re-mote, control

Things get hectic quick
All of a sudden I'm in the thick
Too much drama all around
Distractions booming in sensurround
Like a rainy day's Earth it won't sit still
Sliding on down a hill
Sometimes life, it seems to stall
But never be ungrateful y'all
So I got a little something for your pay per view
Like Don King, I've got the crazy hair do
We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol
Controlled on Earth by remote control

ELO, EVIL WOMAN

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey, woman, you got the blues
'Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do?
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train (train)
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman (you're an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman (you're an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman
EVIL woman, how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song
Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up
You made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman (you're an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman
EVIL woman
EVIL woman (you're an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman (such an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman (you're an EVIL woman)
EVIL woman (such an EVIL woman)

Blood, Sweat & Tears, LUCRETIA MAC EVIL

Little girl what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame
Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
Drive a young man insane
EVIL that's your name
Lucretia MacEvil
That's the thing you're doin' fine
Back seat Delilah
Got your six bit jug o'wine, woman
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You're just an EVIL woman-child
Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad
Devil got you lucy
Under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Sign sealed and witnessed
Since the day you were born
No use tryin' to fake him out
No use tryin' to make him out
Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
What-cha gonna do?
Lucy MacEvil
Honey ya been all night?
Your hair's all messed up, babe
An' the clothes you're wearin'
Just don't fit ya right
Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
Dressin' you up in style, EVIL woman-child
Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad

Boy Named Sue ~ Johnny Cash

Well, my daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave very much to my mom and me
Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that my daddy ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke
And I got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
But I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keener
Roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honky tonks and bars
And kill that man that gave me that awful name
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn out picture that my mother had
Knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is Sue, how do you do?
Now you gonna die", that's what I told him
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
Then I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the walls and into the street
Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
Well, I tell you, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
Well, I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
And he reached for his gun but I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along
So I give you that name, and I said goodbye
And I knew you'd have to get tough or die
It's that name that helped to make you strong"
He said, "Now you just fought one heck of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right to kill me now
And I wouldn't blame you if you do
But you ought to thank me, before I die
For the gravel in ya gut and the spit in ya eye
'Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue"
What could I do?
Well, I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
I called him my pa, and he called me his son
Come away with a different point of view
And I think about him, now and then
Every time I try and every time I win, and if I ever have a-
Well, if I ever have a boy, I'll name him
Frank or George or Bill or Tom, anything but Sue
I don't want him go around, man call him Sue all his life
That's a horrible thing to do to a boy trying to get a hold in the world
Named a boy a Sue

Devil Woman - Cliff Richard

I've had nothing, but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them EVIL eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd came there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Stay away, look out
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

You've got to change your EVIL ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you
You've got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true
You've got me runnin' and hidin' all over town
You've got me sneakin' and a peepin' and runnin' you down
This can't go on
Lord knows, you've got to change, baby
Baby, when I come home, baby
My house is dark, and my thoughts are cold
You hang around, baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm gettin' tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody that won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on
Lord knows, you've got to change
When I come home, baby
My house is dark, and my thoughts are cold
You hang around baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who?
I'm gettin' tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody that won't me feel like a clown
This can't go on
Yeah, yeah, yeah

If you're a long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
Somethin' just ain't right

And can't sleep at all

Knock on the front door
Run 'round to the back
You'll catch him just before he go

That's evil
Evil is goin' on
I am warnin' you, brother
You better watch your happy home
