Box of Rain

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

Goodnight Moon, Shivaree

There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone

There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong
coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon

Lady, Leonard Cohen

She's faced the hardest times
you could imagine
and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and a sorrow no one hears
still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

and if by chance I should hold her
let me hold her for a time
but if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden,
to be mine

Be careful how you touch her,
for she'll awaken
and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
and when you look into her eyes,
you won't beleive
the way she's always paying
for a debt she never owes
and a silent wind still blows
that only she can hear and so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

Country Feedback, REM

This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop.
These clothes,These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame It's all the same It's all the same
You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out
We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central I had control I lost my head
I need this I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged.
A hotline, a wanted ad
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this I need this

Dazed and confused, Led Zeppelin

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. Yeah!
You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

Died In Your Arms, Cutting Crew

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms...

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

Always Something There To Remind Me, Naked Eyes

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
and every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me.
always something there to remind me.

As shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it how it felt to kiss and hold you tight

Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I'll never be free
You'll always be a part of me

If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be there

Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I'll never be free
You'll always be a part of me
'cause there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me

Nights In White Satin, Moody Blues

Nights in white satin
never reaching the end.
Letters I've written
never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you,
yes I love you,
oh, how I love you.

Gazing at people
some hand in hand
just what I'm going though
they can't understand.
Some try to tell me
thoughts they cannot defend
just what you want to be
you'll be in the end.
And I love you,
yes I love you,
oh, how I love you.

Nights in white satin
never reaching the end.
Letters I've written
never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

Suzanne, Leonard Cohen.

Suzanne takes you down to
her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body
with her mind.

Pink Floyd, What Do You Want From Me

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think I know something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want
You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need
You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light
What do you want from me

Santana, Put Your Lights On

Hey now, all you sinners
Put your lights on, put your lights on
Hey now all you lovers
Put you lights on, put your lights on
Hey now, all you killers
Put you lights on, put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on, leave you lights on
Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel with a hand on my head
She says I've got nothing to fear
And there's a darkness deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your lights shine, into my home
God dont let me lose my nerve

Hye now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Wo-oh hey now, hey now
hey now, hey now
Hey now all you sinners
Put you lights on, put you lights on
Hey now, all you children
Leave your lights on you better leave your lights on
Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel with a hand on my head
She says I've got nothing to fear
She says, whoa-ahh hey la la,
you shine like stars
Whoa-ohh hey la la,
you shine like stars And never fade away

What is and what should never be, Led Zeppelin

And if I say to you tomorrow,
Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you,
Where what's to be, they say will be.

Catch the wind, see us spin,
Sail away, leave today,
Way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time. Ooh!

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be,
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby,
But What Is And What Should Never Be.

Catch the wind, see us spin,
Sail away, leave today,
Way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow,
You really shouldn't go,
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time. Ooh!

So if you wake up with the sunrise,
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad,
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah.
Hey, oh
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go
and it only goes to show
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin
we're gonna sail, little girl
Everybody I know seems to know me well
but they're never gonna know cause I move like hell.

Femme Fatal

Here she comes you better watch your step
She's going to play you for a fool it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up to just put you down
What a clown

Cause everybody knows the things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
You're number thirty-seven have a look
She's going to play you for a fool it's true
Little boy on the street
Before you start you're already beat
She's going to smile to make you frown
What a clown

Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale
the things she does to please (She's a femme fatale
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks hear the way she talks

I'm A Liar, Bryan Adams

Maybe I told you right from the start
You can have me but you can't have my heart
It's easy enough to say but I couldn't care less
Ya I mighta told you you were on my mind
Guess I talked a pretty good line
But hey I can talk all day but I just can't confess

That I'm a liar - I'm a victim of desire
I'm a moth into the fire
I'm over my head - forget what I said
Tell ya I'm a liar - I'm just walking on the wire
I couldn't get much higher
Ya I'm over my head - forget what I said
Baby I'm a liar

When I told you I was hard to pin down
Ya know I was just messin' around
Guess you know by now that that's just my way
And if you want stories - well I got a few
But hey - this is the truth I swear to you
How many more times do you want me to say

That I'm a liar - I'm a victim of desire
I'm a moth into the fire
I'm over my head - forget what I said
Tell ya I'm a liar - I'm just walking on the wire
I couldn't get much higher
Ya I'm over my head - forget what I said
If I told ya to go away
Baby you can't believe a thing I say
Listen...

I'm a liar - I'm a victim of desire
I'm a moth into the fire
I'm over my head - forget what I said
Tell ya I'm a liar - I'm just walking on the wire
I couldn't get much higher
Ya I'm over my head - forget what I said
I can't help myself
You can't believe a single thing I say

The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You

Oh, Why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
But don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So, If your mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
But hey, what you've got to hide?
I get angry too
But I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if your wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, When the night falls on you baby
Your feeling all alone
Walking on your own
I'll stand by you
Everybody Hurts, REM

When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life,
well hang on.
Don't let yourself go,everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now its time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life,
well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand.
Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on hold on,

Black Velvet, Alannah Myles

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,
what could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
If you please, if you please, if you please

Right Here Waiting, Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive this romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

This Kiss, Faith Hill

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to 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 pertpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's ahhh Impossible
This Kiss, This Kiss (Unstoppable)
This Kiss, This Kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course?
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 pertpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's ahhh Impossible
This Kiss, This Kiss (Unstoppable)
This Kiss, This Kiss

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

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's pertpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's ahhh Impossible
This Kiss, This Kiss (Unstoppable)
This Kiss, This Kiss, It's Criminal

Your Love Is Bad For Me, Gloria Estefan

Your love is bad for me
And yet no other lover make me so insane
Feel so much pain
You don't belong to me
Yet every time I hear your voice
or speak your name
I feel the same
Just like the first time we made love after so long
What can I do can't shake this feeling it's so strong
Your love is bad for me
I know that much is true
But being so bad is what makes it feel so good
Your love is bad for me
I lie awake most every night thinking of you
And what I'd do
If you were here with me
I'd love you till you could not take it any more
Then you'd walk out the door
But don't you know you always hurt the one you love
And though it's torture baby, I can't get enough
Give me your kiss,
Give me your heart,
Give me your mind,
I'll take whatever you can give me anytime

How I love you baby
Sweet baby you're bad for me
But I don't care
Can't you see
You're all I want baby...all I need
And I gotta have you
Your love is bad for me, I know That much is true
But being so bad is what makes it feel so good

Tender Hands, Chris de Burgh

Oh how, at the journey's end,
I lie in the heat of the night,
Feeling the heartache, wondering why,
I want a friend,
I want a friend to lay down beside me,
I want a friend,
I want her now,
Someone who knows what I mean
When I say, that I need
Tender hands to hold me,
I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes,
And I need tender hands to take me,
All the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over,
I need tender hands
To hold me through the night;

Touch me with your velvet mouth,
I will give all the love that I have,
Under the moonlight, reaching your heart,
Where are you now, where are you now,
Come out of the shadows,
Where are you now, I want you now,
You know that I cannot always be strong,
And I need
Tender hands to hold me,
I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes,
And I need tender hands to take me,
All the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over,
I need tender hands
To hold me through the night;

I am only a voice in a city of noise,
Can you hear me this time,
I see the storm grow,
There's a light in the desert tonight;

And I need tender hands,
Give me tender hands,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Oh give me tender hands to take me
All the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over,
I have tender hands
To hold you through the night, darling,
My tender hands will hold you
Through the night;
I want your tender hands,
You have tender hands,
I want those tender hands,
Jessie, Joshua Kadison

From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 am
To tell me how she's tired of all of them
She says,
"Baby I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea
We could go to Mexico, you, the cat, and me
We'll drink Taquila and look for sea shells,
Now doesn't that sound sweet?"
Oh Jessie you always do this
every time I get back on my feet

Jessie paint your pictures about how its gonna be
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
Oh Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

She asks me the cats been,
I say, "Moses he's just fine"
But he used to think about you all the time
We finally took your pictures down off the wall
Jessie how do you always seem to know just when to call
She says,
"Get you stuff together, bring Mose' and drive real fast"
and I listen to her promise
I swear to God this time is gonna last

Jessie paint your pictures about how its gonna be
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
Oh Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me

I'll love you in the sunshine,
Lay you down in the warm white sand
And who knows maybe this time,
Things will turn out just the way you planned

Jessie paint your pictures about how its gonna be
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
Oh Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me

Smooth, Santana

Man it’s a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper & the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool<,br> My mu-equita, my Spanish harlem mona lisa
Your my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you say this life ain’t good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you’re so smooth

And just like the ocean under the moon
Well that’s the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

I’ll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name
calling me out
Out from the barrio,
you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

Desparado, Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' any younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom
well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, boy
before it's too late

Living On A Prayer, Jon Bon Jovi

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union´s been on strike
He´s down on his luck...it´s tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says:
We´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
´Cause it doesn´t makes a difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love - we´ll give it a shot
We´re half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he´s holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it´s tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
Baby it´s okay, someday
We´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
´Cause it doesn´t makes a difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love - we´ll give it a shot

We´re half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer

We´ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it´s all that you´ve got

Black Eyed Boy, Texas

No I don't lack ambition
Can't you see what I hate
That it's you who is sicking
Locked behind iron gates
You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

You call me superstitious
Tie me up with your deceit
I could never be malicious
Though I seem so bittersweet
You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

Yeh, you should know
You're falling into fiction
Like i said
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet?

Come up on different streets they booth were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet?

I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade

Walk This Way, Aerosmith>

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
"Gonna talk to you" my daddy say
said "you ain't seen nothin' till youre down on a muffin
and you're sure to be achangein' your ways"
I met a cheerleader as a real young bleeder
all the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things in lovin'
with a sister and a cousin
only started with a little kiss alike this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet a flyin'up in the air
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle
of the swing like you didn't care
took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
was a me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I know'd love was here to stay
when she told me to
Walk this way, walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss!

School girl skinny with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up her knee,
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me.
I was a high school loser, never mae it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed,
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss alike this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet a flyin'up in the air
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle
of the swing like you didn't care
took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
was a me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I know'd love was here to stay
when she told me to
Walk this way, walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss!

Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure.
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings sometimes.
All of our thoughts are misgiven.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the West.
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees.
And the voices of those who stand looking.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune.
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long.
And the forests will echo with laughter.
And it makes me wonder.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now.
It's just a spring clean for the May-queen.
Yes there are two paths you can go by.
But in the long run.
There's still time to change the road you're on.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know.
The pipers calling you to join him.
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow.
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road.
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know.
Who shines white light and wants to show.
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all.
To be a rock and not to roll.
Wolf At Your Door, Meatloaf

Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin' past the kids, comin' back from the party
Smiles on their faces, you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that Buick that you got runnin'
Your baby by your side, told the whole world you're comin'
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin',
but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much,
workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door,
he wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more
There's a wolf at your door,
he says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

They'll take it away, when you're not lookin'
Look you in the eyes, tell you how good they're doin'
Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin'
You're not guilty, you are the victim,
but you still pay for the crime
Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin',
but so many fights
Trusted too many, relieved too much,
workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door,
he says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

It won't be broken, I'll fight 'til I drop,
blood burnin' hot in my veins
But they won't be satisfied until they take everything
Power Of Love, Huey Lewis

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love.
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream.
Make a bad one good, oh, make a wrong one right.
Power of love that keep you home at night.

You don't need money, don't take fame.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes.
But it might just save your life.
That's the power of love.
First time you fell it, it might make you sad.
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad.
But you'll be glad , baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round.

And it don't take money, don't take fame.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
It's strong and it's sudden. It can be cruel sometimes.
But it might just save your life.

They say that all in love is fair, yeah, but you don't care.
But you'll know what to do when it gets hold of you.
And with a little help from above, you feel the power of love.
You feel the power of love.
Can you feel it?
Stay, Lisa Loeb

You say I only hear what I want to
And you say I talk so all the time
So?
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
cause I miss you Yeah, I miss you

And you say I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere and I,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no, bad.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song:
The lover's in love, and the other's run away,
The lover is crying cause the other won't stay
And some of us hover when we weep for the other
who was dying since the day the were born
Well, this is not that I think that I am throwing,
but I'm thrown

And I thought I'd live forever,
but now I'm not so sure you try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow,
or anywhere with you
And you said that I was naive,
And i thought that I was strong
And I thought "hey,I can leave, I can leave" But now I know that I did something wrong
cause I miss you, oh yeah, I miss you

You said "you caught me cause you want me
and one day I'll let you go"
You try to give away a keeper,
or keep me cause you know
you're just too scared to lose

And you say "stay"

Wonderful Tonight, Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening
She's wond'ring what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she ask me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say "yes you look wonderful tonight"

We go to a party
And every one turns to see
This beautiful lady
Who's walking around with me
And then she ask me
"Do you feel all right?"
And I say "yes I feel wonderful tonight"

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
Then the wonder of it all is
That you just don't realize
How much I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say "My darling, you were wonderful tonight"
Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Lady In Red, Chris DeBurg

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance,
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
(My lady in red)
My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms, Bon Jovi

Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds
I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down
Staring out the window, it's such a long way down
I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
I sing this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

I'm tired of watching TV, it makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning, man it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying from the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes, that I can't feel the pain

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
I sing this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Staring at the paper, I don't know what to write
I'll have my last cigarette-well, turn out the lights
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a different way
But here is my delusion, I don't know what to say

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings, that are burning in my veins
I send this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, There's no one left to save
And I can't fight the feelings, buried in my brains
I send this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Can't Help Falling In Love, UB40

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Sometimes ar meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Building A Mystery, Sarah McLachlan

You come out at night, that's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light, and the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that die before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful with an edge and charm
but so careful when I'm in your arms
Cause you're working building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum And a know it all grin
Just when we need one When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your razor wire shrine

What becomes of the Broken Hearted?

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion.

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby

I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.

Now what's become of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I will find a way somehow

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby

Where have all the Cowboys gone, Paula Cole

Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandelion sun scorched,
Would you like a glass of cold lemonade?
I will do the laundry if you pay all the bills.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?

Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat?
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet?
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't even notice me.
Say our goodbyes, Say our goodbyes, Say our goodbyes

We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?
Where is my Marlboro Man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

The End Of The World, Vonda Shepard

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything is the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Too Much Love Will Kill You, Queen

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Yeah, too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
because too much love will kill you
In the end

Sometimes When We Touch, Newton

You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my Eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Romance and all its strategy
leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer,
still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prize fighter
still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my Eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

At times I'd like to hold you
and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
and I know how hard you've tried
I've watch while love commands you
and I've watched love pass you by,
At times I think we're drifters,
still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister,
but then the passion flares again.
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my Eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel, How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel, How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the downs
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel, How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel, How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Another Cup of Coffee - Mike and the Mechanics

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As she contemplates the stain across the wall
and it's in between the cleaning and the washing
That's when looking back's The hardest part of all

And she always did her best to try and please him
While he always did his best to make her cry
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye

Where are your friends, Where are your children?
Is this your house, Is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone?

And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
As he packs away the pieces of his life
They all love him but they always try to change him
That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
and it's in between the leaving and the loving
That's when looking back's The hardest part of all

Where are your friends, Where are your children?
Is this your house, Is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone?

Don't look back, Don't give up
Pour yourself another cup

Runaway - Bon Jovi

On the streets where you live girls talk about their social lives
There made of lipstick, plastic and paint
And you don't see it in their eyes
All your life, all you ask "When's your daddy gonna talk to you?"
But you were living in another world
Tryin' to get a message through
No-one heard a single word you said
We should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learnt fast
All the things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway

Dim the light every night, guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets calling for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she lights the lights at night on neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hopes to find

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learnt fast
All the things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
No-one heard a single word you said
We should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Let Me Show You - Michael Hutchence

This shattered town gets me down
My ticket's booked then you were found
I tore them up like you tore my heart
I'm black and blue from love and art

Give it up, Gimme - Who could take it?
Give it up, Gimme - I guess I'll shake it, but
No-one touches all you are
Strip to show me all you are

Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)
Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)

Well through the twilight how I've tried
To get my thoughts deep in your mind
In my sleep I've tasted you
Intoxicated by your every move

Give it up, Gimme - Who could take it?
Give it up, Gimme - I guess I'll shake it, but
No-one touches all you are
Strip to show me all you are

Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)
Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)

Intoxicated by your every move

Rock and a Hard Place - Rolling Stones

The fields of Eden
Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
We'll never get it back
People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger
as the country comes begging to town

We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

This talk of freedom
And human rights
Means bullying and private wars
and chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire
with nothing to lose but their shirts

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place

We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Guiding dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

Give me truth now
Don't want no sham
I'd be hung drawn and quartered
for a sheep just as well as a lamb

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me
