You Can Tell Everybody, This Is Your Song - Lyrics

Lose Your Way
Sophie B. Hawkins

I have no confidence
And I can’t see why I should
But I could do most anything for you
And you know I would
I try too hard
And then I give up way too easily
I'm the runner up inside of you
And you’re the winner inside of me

Lose your way
And I will follow
Here today
And here tomorrow
Like my freedom I know
I’ll never let you go

I still wish on the evening star
And I s’pose I always will
Every child loses something
A whole life can’t fulfill
And when you cry I feel the sky
Burst open in my veins
If loving you makes a slave of me
Then I'll spend my whole life in chains

Lose your way
And I will follow
Here today
And here tomorrow
Like my freedom I know
I’ll never let you go.

Walk the line
I’ll walk inside you
Change your mind
Let your love decide you
It’s the reason I know
You’ll never let me go

For Louise

At My Most Beautiful
REM

I've found away to make you,
I've found a way,
A way to make you smile.

I read bad poetry, into your machine,
I save your messages, just to hear your voice,
You always listen carefully, to what went wrong,
You always say your name, like I wouldn’t know it’s you
At your most beautiful.

I've found a way to make you,
I've found a way,
A way to make you smile.

At my most beautiful,
I count your eyelashes, secretly,
With every one whisper I love you, I let you sleep,
I know you closed eye watching me, listening,
I thought I saw a smile.

(dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut durrurrurrurr)

I've found a way to,
I've found a way,
A way to make you smile.

45 Years Ago Today. The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens

The Day The Music Died
American Pie


Verse 1
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

{Refrain}

So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die


Verse 2
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n' roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm & blues
I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

{Refrain}

Verse 3
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

{Refrain}


Verse 4
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singing


{Refrain}

Verse 5
Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack, be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devils only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing


{Refrain}

Verse 6
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin'


{Refrain}

Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

They were singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

Chantilly Lace
Big Bopper

Hello baby, yeah, this is the Big Bopper speaking
Oh you sweet thing
Do I what
Will I what
Oh baby you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like

What's that baby
But, but, but, oh honey
But, oh baby you know what I like

Chorus

What's that honey
Pick you up at 8 and don't be late
But baby I ain't got no money honey
Oh alright baby you know what I like

Chorus

**************************************

Rave On
Buddy Holly

Well the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on it's a crazy feelin and
I know its got me reelin
When you say, I love you

Donna
Ritchie Valens

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
All the time and all my love for yo-ou-ou

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Clap For The Wolfman
Guess Who

Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman
You gonna dig him til the day you die

Do Ron Ron and the Duke of Earl
They were friend's of mine
The highway's on my moonlight drive
Snuggled in, said "baby, just one kiss"
She said "no, no, no"
Romance ain't keepin' me alive
I said "hey babe, do you want to coo, coo, coo"
She said "uh, uh, uh"
So I was left out in the cold
I said "you're what I've been dreamin' of"
She said "I don't want to know"
(Wolfman Jack: "Oh you know, she was diggin' the cat on the radio")

Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
(WJ: "Yes baby, I your doctor in love")
Clap for the Wolfman
You gonna dig him til the day you die
(WJ: "Everybody talkin' about the Wolfman's confidence of love")

Seventy five, eighty miles an hour
She hollers "slow, slow, slow"
"Baby I can stop right on a dime"
I said "hey baby, give me just one kiss"
She said "no, no, no"
But how was I to bide my time
I said "Hey baby, do you want to coo, coo, coo"
She said "uh, uh, uh"
Said I'm about to overload
I said "you're what I've been livin' for"
She said "I don't want to know"
(WJ: "Oh, you thought she was digging you but she was digging me")

Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
(WJ: "As long as you got the curves baby, I got the angles")
Clap for the Wolfman
You gonna dig him til the day you die
(WJ: "It's all accoridng to how your boogaloo situation stands, you
understand")

Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
(WJ: "You ain't gonna get 'em, cuz I got 'em")
Clap for the Wolfman
You gonna dig him til the day you die
(WJ: "You might wanna try, but I'm gonna keep 'em")
Clap for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman
(WJ: "And I got 'em all")
Clap for the Wolfman

Zounds

Demystification

I look out the window and I wonder at it all,
Staring at the symbols that decorate the wall,
And everybody's calling to come and join them all,
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall,
Now I can't go to the party the electrician didn't call,
And I hear they're counting numbers in a store down in Whitehall,
So much information what can they do with it all?

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

Some people talk of Shiva and some they talk of God,
Some talk of politicians and some they talk of love,
Demystify their heroes with the chances we could take,
I'm not looking for escapism I just want to escape.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I,
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want.

I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification,
I want some demystification about what's going on.

Looking for a girl with a washing machine

I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine
and a room that's cool and shady
I'm looking for a girl
with a shower and bath
come on, baby, don't look at me like that

I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine

I ain't saying I'm dirty

I hate my generation

[self biased]

heresey, nine inch nails.

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it Christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

Messiah don't come / Shalom Hanoh
( Translation from Hebrew : me )

Sitting for hours waiting for the Messiah to come
Messiah's a key man, and got connections like none
a thick cloud of smoke, Jeruham lets out a sigh
Judas looks at the clock, a blank stare in his eye

An office up north, Artzieli consulting and law
It's the mid-of the day, and Messiah won't show
Presses the buzzer, and says " hey,
will you bring us some coffee today".


Messiah won't come.
Messiah won't answer the phone.


A roaring silence, five people nervously wait
The door slowly opens, Yardena comes with a plate
The black one to Judas, The son asks for a coke
Yardena walks out, Ezra continues to smoke

Because hours just continue to pass along by
Old man Artzieli feels that he somehow knows why
wiping his sweat,
he yells at his son..

Messiah won't come,
Messia won't answer the phone.

The Door bell ring tears through the hum of the fan
Jeruham runs to the door, as fast as he can
Artzieli the son takes a look his dad
And in the entrance a policeman is standing, quite sad

And Judah says
Something happened I guess
Jeruham answers
They don't just send them, so probably, yes

The Policeman says
there was an accident, so

Messiah won't come,
Messiah won't answer the phone

An accident for whom, asks Artizeli the son
For the whole country,you see, answers the cop
The stock market crashed, people jump of the roof
Messiah jumped, he's dead now, and we have a proof.
We're all doomed, Ezra the contractor cries
We have no money, and Messiah's up in the skies.
And pretty Yardena grumbles quietly,
This cannot be!

Messiah won't come.
Messiah won't answer the phone.

"Black december" the fronts of the newspapers say
The minister of Finance gave an interview today
"The public is stupid, so the public will pay"
"As easy as it comes, as easy it will go away"
The man on the street will pay all of the cost
And to me Yardena is interesting the most

Go to the army,
and count the money that's gone

And Messiah won't come
Messiah won't answer the phone

Repeat Chorus

Triple Shot Thursday; Ray Stevens

Hugo The Human Cannonball

Well, they came to town
With their elephants and clowns
On a hit sticky August day

And every telephone pole
Had a poster that told
Of the thrills that were coming our way

There were trapeze fliers
And men that ate fire
And things we never dreamed existed

And the radio and TV
Told us we’d be
Fools if we dared to miss it.

Now all three rings
Held wondrous things
Marvels of every invention

But the big long shrouded
Shape in the corner
Increasingly drew our attention

There were bareback riders
Lions and tigers
And clowns in their itty bitty car

But every woman and man
And child in the stand
Had come to see the star

Then a hush fell on the crowd
As the men pulled the shroud
From the muzzle that was 30 feet long

And to screams and cheers
He finally appeared
And flamboyantly bowed to the throng

He wore red sequined tights
That sparkled in the lights
And boots that came to his knees

And a chromium
football helmet
And a cape that flapped in the breeze

And the dazzled crowd
Shouted out loud
You could hear them one and all

We want Hugo!
Hugo! Hugo!
The Human Cannonball

The aim was carefully calculated
The trajectory was precise

The charge was carefully measured
And poured into the loading device

The fuse was trimmed, the lights were dimmed
Hugo slid down the barrel and then

All was ready and Hugo’s daddy
Counted down from

Ten!
And the drums rolled

Nine
And our blood ran cold

Eight!
The ambulance stood by

Seven!
Several woman cried

Six!
The spotlight hit the net

Five!
No one would ever forget

Four!
Eternity passed

Three!
Every heart beat fast

Two!
And Hugo’s daddy said, “Are you ready Hugo?”

One!
And from the bowels of the gun, “I’m a-ready, Papa!”

Boom!

Well, fire and smoke belched
Out of the cannon
And the earth trembled for a while

And the big gun roared
And Hugo soared
Through the air like a projectile.

Two hundred and fifty
Feet he flew
Like an Air Force fighter jet

But at the apex
Of his trajectory
He knew he’s gonna miss the net

Oh! Arms flailing
He kept on sailing
A terrified screaming creature

And the crowd scattered
As Hugo splattered
All over the upper bleacher

In the aftermath
Of this tragic event
Disbelief filled every face

There was Hugo
And there was Hugo
There was Hugo all over the place!

Well, the dust has
Finally settled and
The smoke has finally cleared

Hugo’s name
And Hugo’s fame
Will always be revered

But no one
Ever too his place
No matter who they were

Because they never found
Another man
Of Hugo’s – caliber

The Circus’ main attraction
The greatest star of all

Was Hugo!

Hugo!

The Human Cannonball!

Osama Yo' Mama

Osama - yo' mama didn't raise you right
When you were young she must have wrapped yo' turban too tight
She should have kept you home on those arabian nights
It's plain to see - you need to stay out of those fights

Osama - yo' mama could have done a lot better
Though I bet every day you did somethin' to upset her
By the way, we got an answer to your anthrax letter
New York City's where it's from - its the news header

And I can hear yo' mama sayin' now, "You in a heap o' trouble son
Now just look what you've done!
Saw you on TV with yo' gun
Mercy sakes, I can't do a thing with you hon."

And I can just hear dubyah sayin', "You in a heap 'o trouble boy
And I don't think you will enjoy
Our game of search and destroy
We got your terror right here, son yu sure are the real mecoy.

Osama - yo' mama didn't teach you how to act
You've crossed the line too far this time, there ain't no turnin' back
You're startin' to remind us of another maniac
Yeah, you know what we shoud of stuffed you in an over sized sack!

Osama - yo' mama didn't teach you to behave
Now they say you're hangin' with the bats in a cave
Well, pullin' off that sneak attack was not too brave
Kinda makes us wonder if your digging your own grave?

And I can hear yo' mama sayin' again, "You in a heap o' trouble son
Now just look what you've done
Saw you on TV with yo' gun
Mercy sakes, you need to settle down hon!

And I can just hear dubyah sayin', "You in a heap 'o trouble boy
And I don't think you will enjoy
Our game of search and destroy
We have made a son that is a real mecoy!

Osama yo' karma's really got you in a jam
But that's just what you get - when you mess with Uncle Sam

Osama the Taliban is history
Nobody wants to see you startin' World War Three

Osama you know the al-Qaida won't last
Osama, just like you, it's future's in the past

Lets just pray your mama will be plastered!
because oshama you sure are a basturd!

The Preacher And The Bear


The preacher went out a huntin', it was on one Sunday morn'
It was against his religion, but he took a shotgun along
He got himself a mess a' mighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare
And on the way home he crossed the path of a Great big grizzly bear

Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge
The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large
They looked each other right smack in the eye
Didn't take that preacher long to say bye
The preacher he run till he spotted a tree
He said "up in that tree's where I auta be"
By the time that bear made a grab for him
The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb
Scared to death, he tuned about
He looked to the sky and began to shout,

Chorus;
Hey lord, you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
You delivered Joana, from the belly of the whale and then,
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good books do declare
Hey lord, if you can't help me, for goodness sake don't help that bear

Ya, look out preacher
Well, about that time the limb broke off and the preacher came tumblin' down
Had a straight razor out of his pocket by the time he lit on the ground
He landed on his feet right in front a that bear and lord what an awful fight
The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair flyin' from left to right

Well first they was up and then they was down, the preacher and the bear runnin' round n' round
The bear he roared and the the preacher he groaned, he was havin' a tough time holdin' his own
He said Lord if I get out a here alive, to the good book I'll abide
No more huntin' on the Sabbath day, come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray
Up to the heavens the preacher glanced, he said Lord won't you give me just one more chance
So the preacher got away, he looked around seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound
Jumped on a limb, turned about, looked to the sky and began to shout

[Bereta_Eder]

Minas got together with Aneta
Who was with Demos the crazy one
Christakis split with Teta
And got together again with Zozo
And Mari got together with Aris and Charis
Who was with Rena and then with Nana
And Michalis with Annie who was with Yanni
Tangled up and got together again
Marie suddendly got together with Leuteris
Who fancied Nena before he met Yoyo
Who was with Aris before he was with Mary
And that sometime I fancied her too
Thomas split with Barbara
And Nikos the tall with Phanie
Kostakis got together with Mara
And Demetris met Vivi
And Emi got together with Artemis
And got him away from Mania who was sticking to Toto
Who flerted with Vasso who was together with Tassos
Before she caught him in the act with Rania
Tassia got in between Nikita and Cia
Who fancied Stathis who loved Yoyo
Who was with Aris before he got together with Marie
And who at sometimes maybe I fancied her too
Loukas split with Marina
And went back again to Athina
Antonis went crazy with Dina
Who was with a friend of Minas
And Geli got suddenly together with Vagelis
Who was with Gina and before that with Ero
Who loved Elia who was with Lia
Little before Argyro made a move on him
And Rea finally got together with Andrea
Who Nina also wanted him before she met Thalis
Who was with Lola and flerted with Stela
Before he met with Lili
Maroula got Manolis from Roula
Who also liked Mina that Yoyo introduced to him
Who was with Aris before he got together with Mari
And who maybe I “jumped” her too

We Don´T Need Another Hero
Tina Turner

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can´t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And i wonder when we are ever going to change
Living under the fear ´till nothing else remains

We don´t need another hero
We don´t need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There´s got to be something better out there:
Love and compassion
That day is coming
All else are castles built in the air

And i wonder when we are ever going to change
Living under the fear ´till nothing else remains
All the children say:

We don´t need another hero...

So, what do we do withour lives?
...
Will our story shine like a light?
...

We don´t need another hero...

River Of Dreams
Billy Joel

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Though the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
