Sunset Grill - Don Henley

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill

We can watch the working girls go by

Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble

And stare out at the auburn sky

There's an old man there from the Old World

To him, it's all the same

Calls all his customers by name

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

You see a lot more meanness in the city

It's the kind that eats you up inside

Hard to come away with anything that feels

like dignity

Hard to get home with any pride

These days a man makes you somethin'

And you never see his face

But there is no hiding place

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Respectable little murders pay

They get more respectable every day

Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you

And someday soon we're gonna get in that

car and get outta here

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill

Watch the working girls go by

Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble

And gaze out at the auburn sky

Maybe we'll leave come springtime

Meanwhile, have another beer

What would we do without these jerks anyway?

Besides, all our friends are here

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Down at the Sunset Grill

Kinks - Superman

Woke up this morning, started to sneeze

I had a cigarette and a cup of tea

I looked in the mirror what did I see

A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees

I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes

I had another sneeze and I blew my nose

I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest

I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed

Surely there must be a way

For me to change the shape Im in

Dissatisfied is what I am

I want to be a better man

Superman superman wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman I want to be like superman

I want to be like superman

Superman superman wish I could fly like superman

Woke up this morning, what did I see

A big black cloud hanging over me

I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead

The news was so bad that I fell out of bed

There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike

Got to be a superman to survive

Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills

Im such a wreck but Im staying alive

[look in the paper, what do I see,

Robbery, violence, insanity.]

Hey girl weve got to get out of this place

Theres got to be something better than this

I need you, but I hate to see you this way

If I were superman then wed fly away

Id really like to change the world

And save it from the mess its in

Im too weak, Im so thin

Id like to fly but I cant even swim

Superman superman I want to fly like superman

Superman superman wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman I want to be like superman

Superman superman I want to fly like superman

Time for Me to Fly


REO Speedwagon


Ive been around for you

Ive been up and down for you

But I just cant get any relief

Ive swallowed my pride for you

Ive lived and lied for you

But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin your love away

cause you never give it

Peeling the years away

And we cant relive it

I make you laugh

And you make me cry

I believe its time for me to fly

You said wed work it out

You said that you had no doubt

That deep down we were really in love

Oh, but Im tired of holding on

To a feeling I know is gone

I do believe that Ive had enough

Ive had enough of the falseness

Of a worn out relation

Enough of the jealousy

And the intoleration

I make you laugh

And you make me cry

I believe its time for me to fly

{refrain} time for me to fly

Oh, Ive got to set myself free

Time for me to fly

And thats just how its got to be

I know it hurts to say goodbye

But its time for me to fly

Oh, dont you know its...

{refrain}

Its time for me to fly

{repeat to end}

Riding the Storm Out


REO Speedwagon


Riding the storm out

Waiting for the fallout

On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter

Wine bottle's low

Watching for the snow

I've been thinking about what I've been missing in the city

And I'm not missing a thing

Watching the full moon crossing the range

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Lady beside me

She's there to guide me

She says that alone we've finally found home

The wind outside is frightening

But it's kinder that the lightning life of the city

It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give

And I'm not missing a thing

Watching the full moon crossing the range

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

(guitar solo)

And I'm not missing a thing

Watching the full moon crossing the range

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding the storm out

Riding, Riding, Riding the storm out

Oil up over $5 today to $134 a barrel... Lovely.. Gonna go buy a 2 bedroom rambler for $250,000.... :rolleyes:

Gasoline


Audioslave


House is haunted

I just want to go for a ride

Out and on

Before I set this room alight

Left alone forever and for crimes unclear

With my patience gone

Someone take me far from here

Burning that gasoline

New day yawning another day of solitaire

House is honest

Clearly more than I bear

Drag me off

Before I set my world on fire

Out and gone the sun will never

Set tonight

Burning that gasoline

No what for's, only a can

Of red says danger on it

I have found another way

Burning that gasoline

Burning that gasoline

Nobody does it better


Carly Simon


Nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it half as good as you

Baby, you're the best

I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me

It tried to hide from your love light

But like heaven above me

The spy who loved me

Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better

Though sometimes I wish someone could

Nobody does it quite the way you do

Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me

Whenever you hold me

There's some kind of magic inside you

That keeps me from runnin'

But just keep it comin'

How'd you learn to do the things you do?

Oh, and nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it half as good as you

Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best

Baby you're the best

Darlin', you're the best

Baby you're the best

FADE

Oh, oh, oh

Michelle Featherstone-Stay

If I built a wall

A hundred feet tall

Would that keep you in?

If I shackled your feet

So you couldn't leave

Would you try and run?

If I promise not to fight

At least not tonight

Would you stay the night?

If I wore that little dress

You like the best

Would you pass my tears?

Would you stay?

Would you stay with me?

If I poured another drink

What would you think

About staying in?

If I was sincere

And whispered my fears

Would you still be here?

Would you stay?

Would you stay with me?

Would you stay?

Would you stay with me?

If I built a wall

A hundred feet tall

Would that keep you in?

Treetop Flyer - Stephen Stills

I could be a rambler from the seven dials

I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file

I don't do business that don't make me smile

I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style

I'm a treetop flyer

I'll fly any cargo, that you can pay to run the bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done

Got to fly down into the canyon, ya' don't ever see the sun

There's no such thing as an easy run

For a treetop flyer

I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand

Go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande

I'll blow the mesquite right up of off the sand

Seldom seen, especially when I land

I'm a treetop flyer

Born Survivor

People been asking me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"

It was over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA

The government taught me, and they taught me right,

Stay down, under the treeline, you might be alright

Treetop flyer

So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast

I promised my woman this is gonna be my last

I get the ship down, I tie her fast

then some old boy walks up, and he says "Hey son" wanna' make some fast cash?

I'm a treetop flyer

Well there's things I am, and there's things I'm not

I am a smuggler and I could get shot

I aint going to die, I ain't goin' to get caught,

See I'm a flyin' fool, in an aeroplane that's just too hot

I'm a treetop flyer

Born survivor

Signs




And the sign says "No long hair freaky people need not apply"


So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why



He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do



So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you"



CHORUS:



Signs Signs Everywhere there's signs



Blocking up the scenery Breaking up my mind



Do this Don't do that Can't you read the sign



And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sigh"



So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house



What gives you the right To put up a fence And keep me out



Or to keep Mother Nature in



If *** was here He'd tell it to your face Man You're some kind of sinner



CHORUS:



Oh Say now mister Can't you read



You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat



You can't watch No You can't eat You ain't supposed to be here



And the sign says "You gotto have a membership card just to get inside" Huh



And the sign says "Everybody welcome Come in Kneel down and pray"



But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all



And I didn't have a penny to pay



So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign



I said Thank you Lord for thinking about me I'm alive and doing fine



CHORUS:



CHORUS:

Blurry - Puddle of mudd

Everything's so blurry

And everyone's so fake

And everybody's empty

And everything is so messed up

Pre-occupied without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I Stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone

You could be my scene

You know that I'll protect you

From all of the obscene

I wonder what you're doing

Imagine where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

When you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well you shoved it in my face

Everyone is changing

There's no one left that's real

So make up your own ending

And let me know just how you feel

'Cause I am lost without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I Stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone

You could be my scene

Know that I will save you

From all of the unclean

I wonder what you're doing

I wonder where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

When you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well, you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Oh,

Nobody told me what you thought

Nobody told me what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Told you where to run away

Nobody told you where to hide

Nobody told you what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Showed you when to run away

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away?

Can you take it all away?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

NOOOOOO!

This pain you gave to me

Saw you in the front row

Moving to the beat

Just movin' and groovin'

Killed me when I saw

The wet patch on your seat

Was it Coca Cola?

Oh baby I hope you liked the show

When the band said goodnight

I had to say hello

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind, no

Little lover, I've been trying hard to find

Someone like you

Oh baby you sure looked sweet

Cruisin'

A leg either side

Of my motorcycle seat

Just oozin'

Could have been a nightmare

Could have been a dream

But on my way home, baby

I thought I heard you scream

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind

Little Lover, oh I tried so hard to find

Someone to give me the things that I need, ah

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind, no

Little Lover, oh I tried so hard to find

Someone like you

You had my picture on your bedroom wall

Next to Gary Glitter, yeah

I was standing on the stage playing rock 'n' roll

I was a guitar picker, yeah

Never had a record

Never had a hit

Ooh baby, you didn't mind a bit

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind

Little Lover, you know I tried so hard to find

Someone like you, you, you

Baby I know you're a

Georgia, I swear I never seen such a smile

Gorgeous enough to make an angel's heart run wild

Your lazy eyes and small-town lies

Have got me in your spell

Your drive-in boys and back-seat noise

And oh, you learned so well

Oh, oh, oh, so how was I to know

You got me, you got me right now

Georgia, your daddy was high the night he dreamed up you

Georgia, the stars were flyin' the night that you came through

Crystal sea of lights

Oh, what a nice surprise

Oh, oh, oh, and now I miss you so

But baby, I'm comin' back to you

Georgia, we will be together, dear

If they ever let me out of here

They will say that it's not true

But I did it all for you

Sure enough got your lovin' where I like it at

Moonlight through the pines

Oh, oh, oh, but how were we to know

That wasn't moonlight, they were searchlights, oh no

Georgia, we will be together, dear

If they ever let me out of here

They will say that it's not true

But I did it all for you

Rainy Days and Mondays


The Carpenters


Talkin' to myself and feelin' old

Sometimes I'd like to quit

Nothing ever seems to fit

Hangin' around

Nothing to do but frown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothin' is really wrong

Feelin' like I don't belong

Walkin' around

Some kind of lonely clown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you

Nice to know somebody loves me

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do

Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before

No need to talk it out

We know what it's all about

Hangin' around

Nothing to do but frown

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Die with your boots on


Iron Maiden


Another prophet of disaster

Who says the ship is lost

Another prophet of disaster

Leaving you to count the cost

Taunting us with visions

Afflicting us with fear

Predicting war for millions

In the hope that one appears

No point asking when it is

No point asking whos to go

No point asking whats the game

No point asking whos to blame

cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die

cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die

If youre gonna die, die with your boots on

If youre gonna try, just stick around

Gonna cry, just move along

If youre gonna die, youre gonna die

In 13 the beast is rising

The frenchman did surmise

Through earthquakes and starvation

The warlord will arise

Terror, death, destruction

Pour from the eastern sands

But the truth of all predictions

Is always in your hands

If youre gonna die, die with your boots on

If youre gonna try, just stick around

Gonna cry, just move along

If youre gonna die, youre gonna die

Creep

Forward yesterday

Makes me wanna stay

What they said was real

Makes me wanna steal

Livin under house

Guess Im livin, Im a mouse

Alls I gots is time

Got no meaning, just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand

cause it likes to heal

Take time with a wounded hand

cause I like to steal

Take time with a wounded hand

cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

Im half the man I used to me

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Well, Im half the man I used to be

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Well, Im half the man I used to me

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Well, Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Feelin uninspired

Think Ill start a fire

Everybody run

Bobbys got a gun

Think youre kinda neat

Then she tells me Im a creep

Friends dont mean a thing

Guess Ill leave it up to me

Take time with a wounded hand

cause it likes to heal

Take time with a wounded hand

Guess I like to steal

Take time with a wounded hand

cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

Im half the man I used to me

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Im half the man I used to be

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Im half the man I used to be

This I feel as the dawn

It fades to gray

Im half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Take time with a wounded hand

cause it likes to heal

Take time with a wounded hand

Guess I like to steal

Take time with a wounded hand

Im half the man I used to me

This I feel as the dawn

Drivin faster in my car

Falling farther from just what we are

Smoke a cigarette and lie some more

These conversations kill

Falling faster in my car

Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to take a ride

It leaves today no conversation

Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to wait too long

To wait too long

These conversations kill

To much walkin, shoes worn thin

Too much trippin and my souls worn thin

Time to catch a ride

It leaves today, her name is what it means

To much walkin, shoes worn thin

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?



And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?



Hot ashes for trees?



Hot air for a cool breeze?



Cold comfort for change?



And 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 you found? The same old fears.



Wish you were here.
