I love Lyrics!

I'll Wait - Van Halen

You've got me captured, I'm under your spell.
I guess I'll never learn.
I have your picture, yes I know it well.
Another page is turned.
Are you for real ? It's so hard to tell,
from just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
look what that does to me.
Chorus:
I'll wait till your love comes down.
I'm coming straight for your heart.
No way you can stop me now,
as fine as you are.
I wrote a letter and told her these words,
that meant a lot to me.
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard,
her eyes don't follow me.
And while she watches I can never be free,
such good photography !
chorus
(guitar solo)
You can't imagine what your image means.
The pages come alive.
Your magic greets everyone who reads.
Heart-break in overdrive
Are you for real, it's so hard to tell,
from just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
look what that does to me.
chorus

Dirty Laundry - Don Henley

Dirty Laundry

I make my living off the evening news,
Just give me something that I can use.
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry.

Well I could have been an actor,
But I wound up here.
I just have to look good,
I don't have to be clear.
Come and whisper in my ear,
We need dirty laundry.

Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em all around.

We got the bubble-headed beach blonde,
Comes on at five,
She can tell about the plane crash,
With a gleam in her eye.
It's int'resting when people die,
Give us dirty laundry.
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
Y'know the boys in the newsroom,
Got a running bet.
Get the widow on the set,
We need dirty laundry.

You don't really need to find out
What's going on,
You don't want to know just
How far it's gone,
Just leave well enough alone,
Keep your dirty laundry.

Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em where they sit,
Kick 'em all around.

Dirty little secrets,
Dirty little lies,
We got our fingers in ev'rybody's pies,
We love to cut you down to size,
We love dirty laundry.

We can do the innuendo,
We can dance and sing.
When it's all over we haven't
Told you a thing.
We all know that crap is king,
Give us dirty laundry.

Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em when they're down.
Kick 'em when they're up,
Kick 'em all around.

Hold me now

I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we’re laughing
We’re loving it all

But look at our life now
We're tattered and torn
We're fussing and fighting, delighting with tears
That we cry until dawn

CHORUS
(Oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find

So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that i'd rather be
Than with you here today

(Oh oh, oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Oh)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Oh hold me now
(whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Whoa oh oh

You ask if I love you
What can I say
You know that I do and that this is just one
Of those games that we play

So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I'd ask your forgiveness though I don't know just
what i'm asking it for

(Oh oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

J. Geils Band Angel In Blue


(Seth Justman) - 1981
We met in a bar
Out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse red la beige
A table top dancer
She would smile on cue
Those lips of an angel
Angel in blue
She's been dancing for ages
Though cities of bars
She was kickin' the habit
of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit
All caged in this zoo
A wildcat angel
Angel in blue
And as she stared out into nowhere
I thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cry
When I whispered I thought I could love her
She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try"
And I watched as she spoke
Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors
That were really just loans
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
The palest of angels
Angel in blue
And the bees they had stung her
The birds they had flown
There were guys she could number
But none she had known
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
My fade away angel
Angel in blue

Everything I'm Not


Oh no don’t go changing, that's what you told me from the start,
Thought you where something different, that's when it all just fell apart,
Like you’re so perfect, and I can’t measure up,
Well I'm not perfect, just all messed up.


I was losing myself to somebody else, but now I see...
I don’t wanna pretend so this is the end of you and me...
Cause the girl that you want,
She was tearing us apart,
Cause she’s everything, everything, I'm not.


It’s not like I need somebody, telling me where I should go at night,
Don’t worry you’ll find somebody, someone to tell how to live their life,
Cause your so perfect and no one measures up, yeah all by yourself your all messed up.


I was losing myself to somebody else, but now I see...
I don’t wanna pretend, so this is the end of you and me...
Cause the girl that you want,
She was tearing us apart,
Cause she’s everything, everything, I'm not.


Now wait a minute,
Because of you I never knew all the things I had,
Hey don’t you get it?
I'm not going anywhere with you tonight, cause this is my life.


I was losing myself to somebody else, but now I see...
I don’t wanna pretend, so this is the end of you 'n' me...
Cause the girl that you want,
She was tearing us apart,
Cause she’s everything, everything, I'm not.

But now I see
I don’t wanna pretend, so this is the end of you and me...
Cause the girl that you want,
She was tearing us apart,
Cause she’s everything, everything, I'm not.​

Down Under - Men at work

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Nasty Girl - Vanity

That's right, pleased 2 meet U
I still won't tell U my name
Don't U believe in mystery?
Don't U wanna play my game?
I'm lookin' 4 a man 2 love me

I'm lookin' 4 a man that'll do it anywhere
Even on a limousine floor cuz..

CHORUS:

My own little nasty world
2night, don't U wanna come with me?
Do U think I'm a nasty girl?
2night I'm livin' in a fantasy
My own little nasty world
2night, don't U wanna come with me?
Do U think I'm a nasty girl?

I guess I'm just use 2 sailors
I think they got water on the brain
I think they got more water upstairs
Than they got sugar on a candy cane
That's right, it's been a long time
Since I had a man that did it real good
If U ain't scared, take it out
I'll do it like a real live nasty girl should

CHORUS {x2}

Please, please {x2}
Nasty girl (Nasty girl)

Try and give me something I can croon 2
Catch my drift?
That'll work

That's right, I can't control it
I need 7 inches or more
2night, I can no longer hold it
Get it up, get it up, I can't wait anymore

Uh, it's time 2 jam
Dance nasty girls, dance
Everybody, uh, it's time 2 jam
Nasty girls, dance dance dance (Yeah)

Everybody, uh, it's time 2 jam

Yeah, I repped her for that one.

You like Midnight Oil?

Song is called, US Forces.

U.S. forces give the nod
It's a setback for your country
Bombs and trenches all in rows
Bombs and threats still ask for more

Divided world the CIA
Who controls the issue
You leave us with no time to talk
You can write your own assessment

Sing me songs of no denying
Seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing

Will you know it when you see it
High risk children dogs of war

Now market movements call the shots
Business deals in parking lots
Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

Everyone is too stoned to start emission
People too scared to go to prison
We're unable to make decisions
Political party line don't cross that floor

L. Ron Hubbard can't save your life
Superboy takes a plutonium wife
In the shadows of Ban the Bomb we live

Sing me songs of no denying
Seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing​

Godley & Creme - Cry

You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know what the sound is darlin'
It's the sound of my tears fallin'
Or is it the rain?
You don't know how to play the game
You cheat
You lie
You make me wanna cry
You make me wanna cry
Cry...
You make me wanna cry
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
Don't you hear any voices cryin'?
That's the sound of my love dyin'
Here comes the rain
You don't know how to play the game
You cheat
You lie
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't know
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
Cry...

girl can't help it - Journey

If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again
If she could show him
The letter her heart forgot to send...why
They're livin' dreams on their own
Ooh they'll never stop running


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


And when he calls her
She tells him that she still cares
Under the moonlight,
He wonders why she can't be there...why
Why do they go on alone
When they're missin' each other


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


There's a fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Don't you know she still cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
For you she cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Ooh nothing stands between love and you

I know there are many fantastic lead singers but the two incredible lead singers that stand out in my mind right now are..

Burt Cummings (The Guess Who)
and....

Steve Perry (Journey)!

Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin'
"Rama lama lama lama"
"Rama ding dong"
She said we'd never have to part
So

Van Morrison Brown eyed Girl


Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah.

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord,
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d...​

I criticise you a lot, snafu, concerning your taste in music. This one takes the cake, eats it, and shits it back out.

Brown Eyed Girl is one of THE most overplayed songs of all time. Van Morrison is a two-bit hack that makes Joe ****er look like Roger Waters.

I'm not a big fan of Van Morrison either but this is a great song.


Another thing. At least I'm not tunnel toned. I happen to like a wide range of music.
