On Through The Night
Def Leppard

The wait is done, the battle's won
So count the cost before you run
'Cos on and on your time was power
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours
Come on down, you're flyin' high
You'll never win if you never try
Stop the hate and carry the load
Come on, get this show on the road

On through the night
You can't stop me now
On through the night
You won't stop me anyhow

The stakes are high and gettin' higher
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar
I'm watching you, you're watching me
You're watching every move that I can see
My reputation's still at stake
I play it safe for safety's sake
Your ego and your promises
Are gonna fade again and again

[Repeat Chorus]

Not anyhow
All you want to hear
Is the audience applause
You can't get on stage
For a country clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
If you want to know my feelings
I say that's tough, that's tough
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take
And you can't see it's your mistake

They're waitin' for you
They're waitin' for me
And what seems like eternity
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net

[Repeat Chorus]

On through the night
Goin' on and on, on and on
On through the night
You can't stop me anyhow
Oh no no anyhow

Alone
-EOS


Feel like your life is gone
feel like you're all alone and
no one gives a **** about you
Pain's what you feel right now
wait for what's gonna happen when you
call and no one's there for you
Can't tell you how to work it out
just know you're not the only one
Hang on

You look around and see
a lot of people but you
don't feel like they're there for you
Feel like you're all in chains
like you're locked up and someone
swallowed the key
Can't help you find the hidden light
can only tell you try and fight
Hang on

Hold on and believe in all those crazy friends
that you had when you were a kid
And believe when they tell you that
you're as special as someone can be

Don't spend
to much time wishing for
what you do not have
you should enjoy what
you already have
Life is not gonna
give you all that you want
Stick with it it's just
all you have

Afraid to die alone
afraid to think and feel that
no one will remember you
You try to live the day
you try to live the night
but you don't know what for
Can only feed you hope and peace
you try to find some love and ease
Hang on

Hold on and believe in all those crazy friends
that you had when you were a kid
And believe when they tell you that
you're as special as someone can be

Don't spend
to much time wishing for
what you do not have
you should enjoy what
you already have
Life is not gonna
give you all that you want
Stick with it it's just
all you have

[Clear Skies]

Tracy Chapman - Broken

You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside of your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

You can never think
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
And you've already said
You would give everything
And something for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

You want to be the one
Made over be your own
Before and after
And a supermarket
Beauty in a bottle queen
Who'll one day grace a check-out counter
Magazine front cover
Though the fine print reads

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

Lets it be broken
Broken
Broken

When your life is never what you wanted
Not even halfway normal
Just tarnished and soiled
When in your reach
A framed and frozen moment
So far from perfection
Not truth or transcendence
Will set you free
Still you don't believe

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

[SlowwHand]

Peter Pan soundtrack lyrics
- Never Smile at a Crocodile



Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots ot etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

STEREOPHONICS
"Local Boy In The Photograph"

There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time

A pebble beach, we're underneath, a pier that's just been painted red
Where I heard the news for the first time

And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph
Today

He'll always be 23, yet the train runs on and on
Past the place they found his clothing

There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
And the train runs late for the first time
Today

And all the friends lay down the flowers
Sit on the banks and drink for hours
Talk of the way they saw him last
Local boy in the photograph
Today

He's gone away

[SlowwHand]

Nothing On Me
Shawn Colvin


Well, I don't tell jokes
And I don't sing songs.
And you'll be sayin' there ain't much hope
You've got nothin' on me.

I got friends uptown,
And they don't talk down.
Baby keeping me safe and sound.
We got something, I think.

I'm not gonna cry.
And I'm wavin' goodbye.
And I know this time
You've got nothin' on me.

Tapestry
- Carole King

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the everchanging view
A wonderous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

Once amind the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side

He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand come down empty

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, tough I didn't know him well

As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unravelling; he's come to take me back
He's came to take me back

[SlowwHand]

Hey Big Brother
Rare Earth


(Chorus)
Hey big brother,
as soon as you arrive,
you better get in touch with the people, big brother,
and get them on your side, big brother,
and keep them satisfied.

Welcome to the beat of the city street,
walk on now and don't be shy.
Take a closer look at the people you meet,
and notice the fear in their eyes,
watching the time passing by.

(Chorus)

Focus your eye on the filthy sky,
just as far as you can see.
Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'
cos' nobody wants to cry,
and nobody wants to die.

(Chorus)

Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?
Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?

[Clear Skies]

Always the Winner - Runrig

When you close your eyes there's a frightened pride that lives for you
That your mother’s life and your father’s eyes can't hide
You had no choice didn't ask the dice too fall for you
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies

Always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you will not grow old

So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
Well hidden from life’s learned and life’s wise
Mans useless ways and worthless conversation
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

(Chorus)

Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls
The miracle of innocence on a head of curls
We'll search every reason wherever we roam to find a place
For these broken hearts and bones

We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summers gone
And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home

[SlowwHand]

Two For Tuesday; Blue Cheer

BELIEVER

You're a young man now and
You toss the hair from your shoulders
Feeling strong and
All the young girls are coming on bolder
Back at home you know the old folks just get older
Why wait around when the world needs a leader.


Either you could be a believer
Either you might have a leader.


There's a light to your life and
Your eyes are glowing much brighter
There's a voice in the dark and
She whispers, "You gotta hold tighter"
Storm is lifted and your spirits are soaring much higher
It's a race to the end but the way seems to be clearing.


Either you could be a believer
Either you might have a leader
Oh Yeah.


There's a band in the streets
Gonna play "Homecoming Soldier"
Well back in D.C., man
The White House is shakin' us some
Cause the Senators fear that the young vote is gonna take over
(Watch it)
You're a young man now
He's got to toss the hair from his shoulder.


Either you could be a believer
Either you might have a leader
You're a young man now and you haven't got a lot to lose.

BIG TROUBLE IN PARADISE


The big trouble in Paradise
It's hot as Hell and I'm cold as ice
I hear it in your voice and I can feel it in the crowd
It's coming on strong and it's coming on loud
I see it in your face and I can see it in your eyes
You ain't living in no paradise
No paradise, Hey!


The big trouble in Paradise
It's hot as Hell and I'm cold as ice
I hear it in your voice and I can see it in your eyes
You ain't living in no paradise
The big trouble in Paradise
I'm not willing to pay the price
I hope you're happy and you're satisfied
You ain't lyin' in Paradise.


You ain't enough and you broke on through
I never made it with a school with a fool
You came around now it don't matter when I'm home
I never think of it when it goes
The big trouble in Paradise
I'm not willing to pay the price
I hope you're happy and you're satisfied
You ain't lyin' in Paradise.


The big trouble in Paradise
I'm not willing to pay the price
I hope you're happy and you're satisfied
You ain't lyin' in Paradise.


The big trouble in Paradise
It's hot as Hell and I'm cold as ice
I hear it in your voice and I can see it in your eyes
You ain't living in no paradise
The big trouble in Paradise
I'm not willing to pay the price
I hope you're happy and you're satisfied
You ain't lyin' in Paradise!
Not at all, baby, You don't know!

I feel better

20th Century Boy


Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy

[SlowwHand]

Excellent that you're feeling better !

[Bereta_Eder]

Thanks Sloww
Had to take a couple of days off work though. Can't risk to relapse to it. It feels SO good being able to eat and drink again - without feeling my throat being literally shred apart. (and not be half dead of course )

TRISHA YEARWOOD


The Song Remembers When
(Hugh Prestwood)

I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once....I love you..
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten

The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

Rod Stewart
Foot Loose And Fancy Free (1977)
You're In My Heart

I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best dream I've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
