We need a lyrics post...

[wez]

Seems I'm feeling a bit Pink lately.. here's some from Dark side of the Moon

Us and Them/Eclipse


Pink Floyd

Us, and them

And after all were only ordinary men.

Me, and you.

*** only knows its noz what we would choose to do.

Forward he cried from the rear

And the front rank died.

And the general sat and the lines on the map

Moved from side to side.

Black and blue

And who knows which is which and who is who.

Up and down.

But in the end its only round and round.

Havent you heard its a battle of words

The poster bearer cried.

Listen son, said the man with the gun

Theres room for you inside.

I mean, theyre not gunna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short,

Sharp, shock, they wont do it again. dig it? I mean he get off

Lightly, cos I wouldve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!

It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners

Dont cost nothing do they, eh?

Down and out

It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about.

With, without.

And wholl deny its what the fightings all about?

Out of the way, its a busy day

Ive got things on my mind.

For the want of the price of tea and a slice

The old man died.

Eclipse

All that you touch

All that you see

All that you taste

All you feel.

All that you love

All that you hate

All you distrust

All you save.

All that you give

All that you deal

All that you buy,

Beg, borrow or steal.

All you create

All you destroy

All that you do

All that you say.

All that you eat

And everyone you meet

All that you slight

And everyone you fight.

All that is now

All that is gone

All thats to come

And everything under the sun is in tune

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

There is no dark side of the moon really. matter of fact its all dark.

The Great Gig in the Sky


Pink Floyd

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I

don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?

There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

(Instrumental)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXkVpifmxUg&feature=related]YouTube - Pink Floyd- Great Gig In The Sky- Screen Film[/ame]

Lets try this version.. that other had crappy sound. Gotta be the best vocal solo ever!

Money


Pink Floyd

Money, get away.

Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.

Money, it's a gas.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.

I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.

Money, it's a hit.

Don't give me that do goody good bull .

I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set

And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today.

But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're

giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"

"Yes, absolutely in the right!"

"I certainly was in the right!"

"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a

bruising!"

"Yeah!"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking

why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and

screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.

It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

Can't forget about Wish You Were Here... Great album..

Shine on you Crazy Diamond


Pink Floyd

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught on 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!

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,

sail on the steel breeze.

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

Wish you were Here


Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from ****,

Blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange

A walk on part in the war,

For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Welcome to the Machine


Pink Floyd

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

Where have you been? its alright we know where youve been.

Youve been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and

scouting for boys.

You bought a guitar to punish your ma,

And you didnt like school, and you know youre nobodys fool,

So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

What did you dream? its alright we told you what to dream.

You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,

He always ate in the steak bar. he loved to drive in his jaguar.

So welcome to the machine.

Have a Cigar


Pink Floyd

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. youre gonna go far, fly high,

Youre never gonna die, youre gonna make it if you try;theyre gonna love you.

Well Ive always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.

The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. oh by the way,

Which ones pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the

Gravy train.

Were just knocked out. we heard about the sell out. you gotta get an

Album out,

You owe it to the people. were so happy we can hardly count.

Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?

Its a helluva start, it could be made into a monster if we all pull together

As a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the

Gravy train.

How Long


Ace

Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion

Don't admit that it's part of a scheme

But I can't help but have my suspicions

'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

And you said you was never intendin'

To break up our singing this way

But there ain't any use in pretendin'

It could happen to us any day

How long has this been goin' on

How long has this been goin' on

[Musical Interlude]

Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion

Don't admit that it's part of a scheme

But I can't help but have my suspicion

'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

Oh, you said you was never intending

To break up our singing this way

But there ain't any use in pretendin'

It could happen to us any day

And how long has this been going on

How long has this been going on

How long

How long has this been going on

How long has this been going on

How long has this been going on

How long

How long has this been going on

Sister Golden Hair


America

Well I tried to make it Sunday

but I got so damned depressed

That I set my sights on Monday

and I got myself undressed

I ain't ready for the altar

but I do agree there's times

when a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you

Sister golden hair surprise

And I just can't live without you

Can't you see it in my eyes?

I've been one poor correspondent

I've been too too hard to find

but it doesn't mean

you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle

Will you meet me in the air

will you love me just a little

just enough to show you care

Well I tried to fake it

I don't mind sayin'

I just can't make it

Lines on my face


Peter Frampton

Lines on my head from that one thing she said

She spoke of strangers that don't sleep two a bed

Kept on trying, buying time,not waiting on fate

I somehow got the feeling that I opened my eyes too late

I saw where you came from

Called out your name

But there's no answer

We lived on your doorstep

I made you my wife but I don't need that

Lines on my face,while I laugh lest I cry

Speed city dirt and gritty waving me goodbye

So many people,my family of friends

Trying so hard to make me smile untill this heartache mends

I saw where you came from

called out your name

but there's no answer

We lived on your doorstep

I made you my wife but I don't need that

Ice in her eyes,frozen tears would never be a surprise

You can't erase a dream you can only wake me up

My mind is turning slower,never to accept defeat

It don't matter where I live I still got a house to heat

I saw where you came from

called out your name

but there's no answer

We lived on your doorstep

I made you my wife but I don't need that

Dog and Butterfly


Heart

There I was with the old man

Stranded again so off Id ran

A young world crashing around me

No possibilities of getting what I need

He looked at me and smiled

Said no, no, no, no, no child.

See the dog and butterfly. up in the

Air he like to fly. dog and butterfly

Below she had to try. she roll back down

To the warm soft ground laughing

She dont know why, she dont know why

Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place

Safe in the trees you had tears on your face

Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers

Stealing your fires. the message hit my mind

Only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm soft ground

Laughing to the sky, up to the sky

Dog and butterfly

Were getting older the worlds getting colder

For the life of me I dont know the reason why

Maybe its livin making us give in

Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide

Were balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town

Moonlight holding me light as down

Voice of confusion inside of me

No begging to go back where Im free

Feels like Im through

Then the old mans words are true

See the dog and butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm soft

Ground with a little tear in her eye

She had to try, she had to try

Dog and butterfly

Soul of the Sea


Heart

Today you looked around to my heart's call

This tiny life ain't been strangled after all

Time, time, time, time

Never ask what's become of us

Just dedicate your sorrow

Here and now

To the soul of the sea

And me

Rushin' to me

You turned around to my song's call

You dreamer in the sand

Just lie there laughing til the fall

Kindest lover

I can't stay alone tonight

Bring me all your love

Here and now

Come rushin' to me

Wake up late

Without a smile

Telephone rings

You run like a child

On the street

Into the day

The people I meet

Have nothing to say

No smile

No sorrow

No laughter

No tomorrow

They talk hen to hen

They talk about their men

And practice all the tricks for them

Too soon nightime's coming on

Deep in the darkness feeling alone

No rain

No seed

No dreams

No silence

Far away today

Mama ocean hold me to you

Rock me on your waves

And tell me...

Is it all true?

Time, time, time, time

Never ask what's become of us

Dedicate your sorrow

Here and now

To the soul the sea and me

Crazy on you


Heart

If we still have time, we might still get by

Every time I think about it, I wanna cry

With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin'

No way to breathe easy, no time to be young

But I tell myself that I was doin' all right

There's nothin' left to do at night

But to go crazy on you

Crazy on you

Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin

The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind

The whisper that calls after you in the night

And kisses your ear in the early moonlight

And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine

My love, the pleasure's mine

Let me go crazy on ya

Crazy on you

Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain

What you gonna do when everybody's insane

So afraid of one who's so afraid of you

What you gonna do...ohhh...

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Ooooo...Crazy on ya

Crazy on you

Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream

I bent down over a clear running stream

Sang you the song that I heard up above

And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy

Yeah, crazy on ya

Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

Crazy on ya

Crazy on you

Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Crazy on ya

Crazy on you

Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh...

Barracuda


Heart

So this aint the end -

I saw you again today

I had to turn my heart away

Smiled like the sun -

Kisses for real

And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds

I bet you gonna ambush me

Youd have me down down down down on my knees

Now wouldnt you, barracuda?

Back over time we were all

Trying for free

You met the porpoise and me

No right no wrong, selling a song-

A name, whisper game.

If the real thing dont do the trick

You better make up something quick

You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick

Ooooooh, barracuda?

Sell me sell you the porpoise said

Dive down deep down to save my head

You...i think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next

Swam without looking back

Made for the western pools - silly fools!

If the real thing dont do the trick

No, you better make up something quick

You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick

Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Heading out this morning into the sun

Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one

Warm wind caress her

Her lover it seems

Oh, annie

Dreamboat annie my little ship of dreams

Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd

No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds

Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles

Heading out to somewhere won't be back for a while

Heart - Magic Man

Cold, late night so long ago

When I was not so strong you know

A pretty man came to me

I never seen eyes so blue

You know, I could not run away it seemed

We'd seen each other in a dream

Seemed like he knew me....he looked right through me....yeah

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile

"you don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile

But try to understand...try to understand

Try, try, try to understand.....He's a magic man"

Winter nights we sang in tune

Played inside the months of moon

"Never think of never..let this spell last forever"

Well, summer lover passed to fall

Tried to realize it all

Mama says she's worried..growing up in a hurry

"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone

"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"

But try to understand....try to understand

Try, try, try to understand..he's a magic man, Mama...ah...he's a magic man

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile

"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"

But try to understand...try to understand..

Oh...oh....try, try, try to understand....

He's a magic man....oh....he's got the magic hands

(solos) OoooOooo's over top

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile

"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"

But try to understand....try to understand

Try, try, try to understand...he's a magic man.....yeah...oh......

Janis Joplin - Cry baby Cry

Cry BabyCry baby, cry baby, cry baby,

Honey, welcome back home.

I know she told you,

Honey I know she told you that she loved you

Much more than I did,

But all I know is that she left you,

And you swear that you just don't know why,

But you know, honey I'll always,

I'll always be around if you ever want me

Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,

Oh honey, welcome back home.

Don't you know, honey,

Ain't nobody ever gonna love you

The way I try to do ?

Who'll take all your pain,

Honey, your heartache, too ?

And if you need me, you know

That I'll always be around if you ever want me

Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,

Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.

And when you walk around the world, babe,

You said you'd try to look for the end of the road,

You might find out later that the road'll end in Detroit,

Honey, the road'll even end in Kathmandu.

You can go all around the world

Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,

When you only gotta do one thing well,

You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.

You got a woman waiting for you there,

All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman

And that'll be the end of the road, babe,

I know you got more tears to share, babe,

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,

And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,

I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,

And if you ever want a little love of a woman

Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now

Cry baby yeah.

Album: Cheap Thrills

Year: 1968

Title: Piece of My Heart Print

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!

Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?

Honey, you know I did!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough,

But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,

Take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, oh, have a!

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it if it makes you feel good,

Oh, yes indeed.

You’re out on the streets looking good,

And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right,

Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,

Babe, I cry all the time!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain,

But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again.

I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!

Take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,

Oh, oh, have a!

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,

Take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c’mon now.

oh, oh, have a

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.

You know you got it —whoahhhhh!!

Take it!

Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Oh, oh, have a

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

JANIS JOPLIN - Me and Bobby Mcgee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train

And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,

It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,

I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.

Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,

We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,

Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.

And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,

You know feeling good was good enough for me,

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,

Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.

Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,

Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,

He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,

But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday

To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,

Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,

But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,

Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la

La la la la la Bobby McGee.

I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord

Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Kick it Out


Heart

Out of the street - get on home

Tail shaking filly running on her own

They say she got loose on the night

She was born

Cranking it up in a school zone

Kick it out - kick it out, she said

Kick out your motor and drive

While youre still alive - kick it out!

Sitting in a bar in a seaside town

Sweet little love getting high getting down

Sailors see her running along the beach

Laugh and jump out of reach

Wild music blowing in her mane

She needs a bareback rider wont give her

No pain

A hard racy game of give and take

Leaves them dazed - half crazed- in her wake

Kick it out - kick it out, she said

Kick out your motor and drive

While youre still alive - kick it out!

Heartless


Heart

The doctor said come back again next week, I think that you need me.

All she did was cry

She wanted to die

Doctor when can you see me?

Theres a guy out there! seems like hes everywhere!

It just aint fair!

Heartless-heartless! never out of control

Heartless-heartless! sin in the name of rock and roll

Heartless-heartless! he thinks its so cool to be cold

Never realize the way love dies when you crucify its soul

Late night in the penthouse room, the fire is burning

Shadows are warm, laying in his arms she answers his yearning

Her eyes are filled with sand

Heartless-heartless! never out of control

Heartless-heartless! sin in the name of rock and roll

Heartless-heartless! he thinks its so cool to be cold

Never realize the way love dies when you crucify its soul

Tina Turner - Proud Mary

Y' know, every now and then

I think you might like to hear something from us

Nice and easy

But there's just one thing

You see we never ever do nothing

Nice and easy

We always do it nice and rough

So we're gonna take the beginning of this song

And do it easy

Then we're gonna do the finish rough

This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

Listen to the story

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud mary keep on burning

And we?re rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning

Proud mary keep on burning

And we?re rolling, rolling

Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river

I bet you gonna find some people who live

You don?t have to worry if you got no money

People on the river are happy to give

Jesus Christ Pose


Soundgarden

And you stare at me

In your jesus christ pose

Arms held out

Like youve been carrying a load

And you swear to me

You dont want to be my slave

But youre staring at me

Like I need to be saved

In your jesus christ pose

Arms held out

In your jesus christ pose

Thorns and shroud

Like its the coming of the lord

And I swear to you

That I would never feed you pain

But youre staring at me

Like Im driving the nails

In your jesus christ pose

And you stare at me

In your jesus christ pose

Arms held out like its

The coming of the lord

And would it pay you more to walk on water

Than to wear a crown of thorns

It wouldnt pain me more to bury you rich

Than to bury you poor

In your jesus christ pose

Black Hole Sun


Soundgarden

In my eyes

Indisposed

In disguise

As no one knows

Hides the face

Lies the snake

The sun

In my disgrace

Boiling heat

Summer stench

neath the black

The sky looks dead

Call my name

Through the cream

And Ill hear you

Scream again

Black hole sun

Wont you come

And wash away the rain

Black hole sun

Wont you come

Wont you come

Stuttering

Cold and damp

Steal the warm wind

Tired friend

Times are gone

For honest men

And sometimes

Far too long

For snakes

In my shoes

A walking sleep

And my youth

I pray to keep

Heaven send

**** away

No one sings

Like you

Anymore

Hang my head

Drown my fear

Till you all just

Disappear

Fell on Black Days


Soundgarden

Whatsoever I've feared has come to life

Whatsoever I've fought off became my life

Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile

Sunspots have faded

And now I'm doing time

Cause I fell on black days

Whomsoever I've cured Ive sickened now

Whomsoever I've cradled Ive put you down

Im a search light soul they say

But I cant see it in the night

Im only faking when I get it right

Cause I fell on black days

How would I know

That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind

And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine

So dont you lock up something that you wanted to see fly

Hands are for shaking

No, not tying

No, not tying

I sure dont mind a change

But I fell on black days

How would I know

That this could be my fate

Pretty Noose


Soundgarden

I caught the moon today

Pick it up

And throw it away all right

I got the perfect steal

A cleaner love

With a dirty feel all right

Fallout and take the bait

Eat the fruit

And kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse dirty face

Pretty noose is pretty hate

And I dont like

What you got me hanging from

Let your motor race

Pick it up

And get this mother gone

Out from and far away

The wooden stake

This thing has got me on

Diamond rope silver chain

Pretty noose is pretty pain

And I dont like

What you got me hanging from

I dont care what you got

I dont care what you need

I dont want anything

And I dont like what

You got me hanging from

Rusty Cage


Soundgarden

You wired me awake

And hit me with a hand of broken nails

You tied my lead and pulled my chain

To watch my blood begin to boil

But Im gonna break

Im gonna break my

Im gonna break my rusty cage and run

Too cold to start a fire

Im burning diesel burning dinosaur bones

Ill take the river down to still water

And ride a pack of dogs

Im gonna break

Im gonna break my

Im gonna break my rusty cage and run

Hits like a phillips head

Into my brain

Its gonna be too dark

To sleep again

Cutting my teeth on bars

And rusty chains, Im gonna break my

Rusty cage and run

When the forest burns

Along the road

Like gods eyes

In my headlights

When the dogs are looking

For their bones

And its raining icepicks

On your steel shore

Im gonna break

Im gonna break my

Im gonna break my rusty cage and run

The Day I Tried to Live


Soundgarden

Special Offer

Download Soundgarden Ringtones Now!I woke the same as any other day

Except a voice was in my head

It said seize the day, pull the trigger

Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live

I stole a thousand beggars change

And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win

I dangled from the power lines

And let the martyrs stretch

Singing

One more time around might do it

One more time around might make it

One more time around might do it

One more time around

The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem

To live up to the ones inside your head

The lives we make never seem

To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know

I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar

Just like you

Nothing to Say

Asking Hands Having Nothing But The Wanting

Someone says my words are out of balance

Nothing to say, you've got nothing to say

Dying words I bury everyday

Nothing to say, you've got nothing to say

You?ve got nothing, nothing to say

Big bad words spell it with four letters

Nothing to say,you've got nothing to say

Oh my ***, your words are out of balance

Nothing but one thing

You?ve got nothing

Lotta love


Neil Young (Performed byNicolette Larson)

To change the way things are.

So if you look in my direction

And we dont see eye to eye,

My heart needs protection

And so do I.

To make things work out right.

So if you are out there waitin

Fire and Rain


James Taylor

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone

Susanne the plans they made put an end to you

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song

I just cant remember who to send it to

Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you again

Wont you look down upon me, jesus

Youve got to help me make a stand

Youve just got to see me through another day

My bodys aching and my time is at hand

And I wont make it any other way

Oh, Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun

Lord knows when the cold wind blows itll turn your head around

Well, theres hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things

To come

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought Id see you one more time again

Theres just a few things coming my way this time around, now

Thought Id see you, thought Id see you fire and rain, now

Shower the People


James Taylor

You can play the game and you can act out the part

Though you know it wasnt written for you

But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart

Ashamed of playing the fool

One thing can lead to another; it doesnt take any sacrifice

Oh, father and mother, sister and brother

If it feels nice, dont think twice

Just shower the people you love with love

Show them the way that you feel

Things are gonna work out fine if you only will

Shower the people you love with love

Show them the way you feel

Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide

This is widely known

And what you plan to do with your foolish pride

When youre all by yourself alone

Once you tell somebody the way that you feel

You can feel it beginning to ease

I think its true what they say about the squeaky wheel

Always getting the grease.

Better to shower the people you love with love

Show them the way that you feel

Things are gonna be just fine if you only will

Shower the people you love with love

Show them the way that you feel

Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Shower the people you love with love

Show them the way that you feel

Youll feel better right away

Dont take much to do

Sell you pride

They say in every life

They say the rain must fall

Just like pouring rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Love, love, love is sunshine.

Oh yes

Make it rain

Love, love, love is sunshine

Yeah, all right

Everybody, everybody

Shower the people you love with love

Something in the way she moves


James Taylor

Something in the way she moves

Theres something in the way she moves,

Or looks my way, or calls my name,

That seems to leave this troubled world behind.

If Im feeling down and blue,

Or troubled by some foolish game,

She always seems to make me change my mind.

Chorus:

n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,

Shes around me now

Almost all the time.

n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,

n(and) shes been with me now

Quite a long, long time

And I feel fine.___________

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,

And I find myself careening

Into places where I should not let me go.

-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,

Yes, and to silently remind me

Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.

Well I said I just got to know that:

It isnt what shes got to say

Or how she thinks or where shes been.

To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.

I like to hear them best that way -

It doesnt much matter what they mean,

Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.

Chorus:

n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,

A-shes around me now

Almost all the time.

If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,

And shes been with me now

Quite a long,

Long

Time -

Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Sweet baby James


James Taylor

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range

His horse and his cattle are his only companions

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons

Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire

Thinking about women and glasses of beer

And closing his eyes as the doggies retire

He sings out a song which is soft but its clear

As if maybe someone could hear

(chorus)

Goodnight you moonlight ladies

Rockabye sweet baby james

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose

Wont you let me go down in my dreams

And rockabye sweet baby james

Now the first of december was covered with snow

And so was the turnpike from stockbridge to boston

Lord, the berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

Theres a song that they sing when they take to the highway

A song that they sing when they take to the sea

A song that they sing of their home in the sky

Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep

But singing works just fine for me

Tightrope


Stevie Ray Vaughan

Caught up in a whirlwind cant catch my breath

Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat

Cant catch a turtle in this rat race

Feels like Im losin time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace

Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face

There was love all around me but I was lookin for revenge

Thank *** it never found me would have been the end

(I was) walkin the tightrope steppin on my friends

Walkin the tightrope (it) was a shame and a sin

Walkin the tightrope between wrong and right

Walkin the tightrope both day and night

Lookin back in front of me in the mirrors a grin

Through eyes of love I see Im really lookin at a friend

Weve all had our problems thats the way life is

My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

Weve been walkin the tightrope tryin to make it right

Walkin the tightrope every day and every night

Walkin the tightrope bring it all around

Walkin the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin the tightrope stretched around the world

Walkin the tightrope save the boys and girls

Walkin the tightrope lets make it right

Walkin the tightrope do it do it tonight

Walkin the tightrope

Julie Brown - Home comming queen's got a Gun

"It was Homecoming Night at my high school

Everyone was there, it was totally cool

I was real excited, I almost wet my jeans

'Cause my best friend Debbie was Homecoming Queen

She looked so pretty in pink chiffon. (Chiffon)

Riding the float with her tiara on. (Tiara on)

Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand. (Bouquet)

She looked straight out of Disneyland!

You know that Cinderella ride

I mean definitely an E-ticket. (E-ticket)

The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked

I mean it was like the whole school was totally coked or something.

The band was playing 'Evergreen'

Then all of a sudden, somebody screamed:

Look out! The Homecoming Queen's got a GUN!!!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen's got a gun!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun!

Debbie's smiling, and waving her gun

Picking off cheerleaders one by one

Oh! Buffy's pom poms just blew to bits

Oh no, Misty?s head just did the splits!

My best friend is on a shooting spree

Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me!

How could you do what you just did

Are you having a really bad period?

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen's got a gun!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun!

Stop it, Debbie, you're making a mess

Powder burns all over your dress

An hour later, ,the cops had arrived

By then the entire glee club had died - no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns... even a chopper!

Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of that float!

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said,

She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead!

Oh, it's really sad, but kinda of a relief,

I mean we had this big test coming up next week...

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen's got a gun!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun!

Debbie's really having a blast!

She's wasting half of the class!

The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off that float.

I tried to scream Duck! but it stuck in my throat.

She hit the ground and did a flip; it was real acrobatic.

But I was crying so hard, I couldn't work my Instamatic.

I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out.

What made her do it, why'd she freak out?

I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear.

I knew then... the end was near.

So I ran down and said in her good ear.

Debbie, why?d you do it?

She raised her head and smiled and said.

I did it for Johnny.

Johnny, well like who's Johnny? Answer me Debbie who's Johnny.

Does anybody here know a Johnny?

Are you Johnny? There was one guy named Johnny.

But he was a total geek. He always had food in his braces.

Answer me Debbie who's Johnny.

Oh *** this is like that movie Citizen Kane

You know where you later find out Rosebud was a sled

But we?ll never know who Johnny is because like she?s dead

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen?s got a gun!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a

Everybody run

Everybody run the Homecoming Queen?s got a"

​

 

[ImWithStupid]

I always loved this part...

I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out.What made her do it, why'd she freak out?

I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear.

I knew then... the end was near.

So I ran down and said in her good ear.

New York State of Mind


Billy Joel

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to miami beach or hollywood.

Im taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-

Im in a new york state of mind.

I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines,

Been high in the rockies under the evergreens,

But I know what Im needing and I dont want to waste more time-

Im in a new york state of mind.

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues,

But now I need a little give and take,

The new york times, the daily news...

It comes down to reality-and its fine with me cause Ive let it slide,

Dont care if its chinatown or riverside,

I dont have any reasons, Ive left them all behind-

Im in a new york state of mind.

Repeat 3rd verse

Im just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-

cause Im in a new york state of mind.

New York Minute


Eagles

Harry got up

Dressed all in black

Went down to the station

And he never came back

They found his clothing

Scattered somewhere down the track

And he won’t be down on wall street

In the morning

He had a home

The love of a girl

But men get lost sometimes

As years unfold

One day he crossed some line

And he was too much in this world

But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute

Things can get pretty strange

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute

Lying here in the darkness

I hear the sirens wail

Somebody going to emergency

Somebody’s going to jail

If you find somebody to love in this world

You better hand on tooth and nail

The wolf is always at the door

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute

Things can get a little strange

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute

And in these days

When darkness falls early

And people rush home

To the ones they love

You better take a fool’s advice

And tak care of your own

One day they’re here;

Next day they’re gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders

And took a walk down through the park

The leaves were falling around me

The groaning city in the gathering dark

On some solitary rock

A desperate lover left his mark,

’baby, I’ve changed. please come back.’

What the head makes cloudy

The heart makes very clear

The days were so much brighter

In the time when she was here

But I know there’s somebody somewhere

Make these dark clouds disappear

Until that day, I have to believe

I believe, I believe

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute

You can get out of the rain

In a new york minute

Everything can change

In a new york minute
