Standing On The Inside - Neil Sedaka

Standin' on the OUTSIDE, lookin' in
You know it's been a long time, I don't know where to begin
So much I want to say-ay, so much I want to do-oo
Friends are tellin' me, it's time that you broke through
I've been through the hard times, of searchin' soul
You know it's been a hard climb, from rock'n'roll
Now I feel a need in me, so har-ard to explai-ai-ai-ain
Now I've seen the joy of light and I want to remai-ai-ain
Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le, don't you know that it feels so fi-i-ine
Every waking moment I just want to sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside, kicked away them blues
All the phoney fa-aces, stand in line
All the backsla-appers know my name this time
Now that I've turned the lo-ock
Now that I've opened the door-oor
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore-ore-ore-ore
Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le, don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just want to sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside, kicked away them blues
Now that I've turned the lock
Now that I've opened the door-oor-oor-oor
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore
Sing it out
Standing on the insi-ide, I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle-le, don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just want to sing the new-ews
That I'm standin' on the inside, kicked away them blues
Standin' on the inside (standing on the inside)
Standin' on the i-insi-ide (standing on the inside)
I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside)
Sta-andin' on the inside (standin

To The Moon And Back - Savage Garden

only registered users can see external links

She's taking her time, making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt INSIDE
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one

They're saying
"Mama never loved her much
And Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away
From human affection."
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)
She's saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red, then she was color blind
All her friends, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She's saying
"Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith
Is, is like a journey
I just don't have a map for."

So, baby's gonna take a dive
And push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars (What a pleasant dream)
She's saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Hold on
Hold on (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

"Mama never loved her much
And Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection."
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting
For the right kind of pilot to come (And she'll say to him)
Just saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Real Real Gone - Van Morrison

REAL real gone
I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
And I'm real real gone

Real real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help
And I'm real real gone

Some people say
You can make it on your own
Oh you can make it if you try
I know better now
You can't stand up alone
Oh baby that is why

I'm real real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone

And Sam Cooke is on the radio
And the night is filled with space
And your fingertips touch my face
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone

I'm real gone
Oh lord I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone
And I'm real real gone
I'm real gone

Everyone’s Gone To The Moon - Jonathan King

Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago
Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun

Cars full of motors, painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only LIFT a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon

Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon

Quick Joey Small - Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus

… Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a BALL an' a chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Send the dogs right out to find him.
… In a striped prision suit with no room to move
He headed for the highway
With his chain still dragin'
He thumbed down a wagon said Well you're goin my way.
And they say now
… Refrain
Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey, Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.
… Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true.
… He's also got a blackjack, he's mad
He'd bust your head with one wack,
Here I go now.
… Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail.
… Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew all the while 'cause
She sent him a file
Baked inside a fudge cake.
… Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains
But he knew one thing for sure
He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs
And headed straight for Mary Jane's door

She’s Always A Woman - Billy Joel

only registered users can see external links

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the TRUTH but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Thank you

It’s Only Rock N Roll (But I Like It) - The Rolling Stones

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is STRANGE? Ain't he strange?

If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?

I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane

I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it

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

When you hear that cold wind calling

Fields Of Gold - Sting

only registered users can see external links

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made PROMISES lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Life On Mars? - David Bowie

only registered users can see external links

It's a God-awful SMALL affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

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

Ever and ever, forever and ever 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

Ever and ever, forever and ever 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

SUMMER breeze, oh, na-na
Oh-oh, yeah
Summer breeze, oh, na-na-na
No, no, no, no, it's all in my mind
No, no, no, no, it's all in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Oh, summer (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
All in my mind
See the curtain's hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light shining through the window
Let me know every, everything's alright
Oh, summer (summer breeze), you make me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Oh, summer breeze (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking on the plates for two
Feel the arms reaching out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Oh, summer (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Oh, summer (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Tell Me Why - The Beatles

TELL me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Well, I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to leave me, oh, so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
If it's something I'd have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Well I, begging on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

My Way - Frank Sinatra

only registered users can see external links

And now, the end is NEAR
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead, but you never bled
Instead, you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissing
And though I know all about those men
Still, I don't remember
'Cause it was us, baby, way before them
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna KEEP on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
Baby, I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep (don't wanna sleep)
I just wanna keep on loving you, ooh-ooh-ooh

Up On The Roof - The Drifters

only registered users can see external links

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is FRESH and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
Everything is all right (up on the roof)

THANK you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend

I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need, any time of the day or night
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

… It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
… My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
… Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
… Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooh
… Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out she's with me
… A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a GLASS, oh
… Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
… Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight

Thank You For The Music - ABBA

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live WITHOUT it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home) - Paul Young

only registered users can see external links

By the look in your eye
I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run
Wherever I lay my HAT that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home

You had romance
Did you break it by chance
Over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
That's my home

Oh, you keep telling me
You keep telling me I'm your man
What do I have to do to make you understand?

For I'm the type of guy
Who gives girl the eye
Everybody knows
But I love them and I leave them
Break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go

Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

That's my home
And I like it that way

Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your BEST shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
You come on with it, come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place
Hit me with your best shot
C'mon, hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

I’m A Believer - The Monkees

only registered users can see external links

I THOUGHT love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else, but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (mm, oh)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a given thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Oh, then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (mm, oh)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Oh, the magic
Ah, love was out to get me
No, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Ah, then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (mm, oh)
Ah, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Yes, I saw her face, now I'm a believer
And not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah, yeah (I'm a believer)

This Kiss - Faith Hill

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry, no
I don't wanna learn the hard way
Baby, hello
Oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss
Unstoppable
THIS kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
"How does love get so off course?
Oh, all I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart
Soft touch, fast horse"
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss
Unsinkable
This kiss, this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside, oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating
You got me flying

It's the way you love me (The way)
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion (Ah, ah)
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's criminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me, baby (The way you love me, baby)
It's the way you love me, darling, yeah

It's the way you love me (The way)
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion (Ah, ah)
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's criminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me, baby (The way you love me, baby)
It's the way you love me darling, yeah

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion

Call out the instigators

Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right

Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo

Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver

only registered users can see external links

All my bags are packed
Ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's EARLY morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
And I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

We’ve Only Just Begun - The Carpenters

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for LUCK and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow

Catch The Wind - Donovan

only registered users can see external links

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand, along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and CATCH the wind
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while, behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing
That would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be, and I long to be
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind

Under Pressure - David Bowie & Queen

only registered users can see external links

Mm-noom-ba-deh
Doom-boom-ba-beh
Doo-boo-boom-ba-beh-beh
Pressure pushin' down on me
Pressin' down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh
Dee-day-da, ee-day-da
That's okay
That's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watchin' some good friends screamin', "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Da-da-da, mm-mm
Da-da-da-ba-bum
Okay
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee-doh-ba-buh, ee-da-ba-ba-bop
Mm-bo-bop, beh-lup
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-day
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on the FENCE but it don't work
Keep comin' up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Why Worry - Dire Straits

only registered users can see external links

Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
Why WORRY
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And though it isn't hard to say
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believe you'd come along?
Hands
Touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touching me, touchin' you
SWEET Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
Warm
Touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would, oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline

99 Red Baloons - Nena

only registered users can see external links

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone
Back at base bugs in the software
Flash the message: "something's out there!"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine RED balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Super Hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night) - The Four Seasons

Oh, what a night
Late December, back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night
You know, I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I
I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And my
As I recall, it ended much too soon
Oh, what a night
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
And I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around and takin' my body under
Oh, what a night
Oh, I
Got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And my
As I recall, it ended much too soon
Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so WRONG, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around and takin' my body under
Oh, what a night (do do do do do, do do do do)
Oh, what a night (do do do do do, do do do do)
Oh, what a night (do do do do do, do do do do)
Oh, what a night (do do do do do, do do do do)

Love Me - Yvonne Elliman

Love me
JUST a little bit longer
Love me
I remember times, my love
When we really had it all
You were always there to make me smile
Help me when I fall
Ooh, I can't believe you're leavin' me
When there's so much more to say
I can't let you go
Ooh, every time I look at you
I still can feel your glow
Let it be, let it grow
Ooh, love me, please
Oh, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please
Oh, just a little bit harder
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Oh, all I ever wanted was to have you to myself
Then I see you standin' there in the arms of someone else
Ooh, you know a girl can stand so much
And it's more than I can bear
I can't let you go
Ooh, every time I look at you
I still can feel your glow
Let it be, let it grow
Ooh, love me, please
Just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please
Just a little bit harder
Never even try to see things my way
It's hard on a woman when love ain't no love at all
And when you walk away, you probably will
You're gonna be sorry
I'm beggin' you, please
Love me, please
Oh, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please
Oh, just a little bit harder
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please

Eve Of Destruction - Barry McGuire

only registered users can see external links

The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
Handful of senators don't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole CRAZY world is just too frustratin'
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
And think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
Ah, you may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
And you tell me
Over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
No no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Crazy For You - Madonna

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that

I'm CRAZY for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I'm crazy, crazy for you, I’m crazy for you

… There's a new world somewhere
They call the Promised Land
And I'll be there someday
If you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
… There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
… It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You'll be my GUIDE, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My virtue would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
… But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
