All I've got to do is to love you.
All I need to be is, be happy.
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it blow away, blow away, blow away.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
And re-arrange your liver to the solid mental grace
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
You can check out any time you like, but....
Made up my mind, make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
What seems to be is always better than nothing.
All we are is dust in the wind.
There'll be peace when you are done.
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds, keeping my eye on the keyhole.
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far.
Everybody was kung fu fighting.
If you think that you're too cool to boogie,
Boy oh boy, have I got news for you.
So come on ye childhood heroes
Won't you rise up from the pages
Of your comic books your super-crooks
And show us all the way?
Well make your will and testament
Won't you join your local government
We'll have Superman for president
And let Robin save the day!
Freedom at Point Zero
Rock and roll isn't over
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil and we're so easily called away
Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Now please don't think I'm weak,
I didn't turn the other cheek,
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.
Thunder only happens when it's rainin'.
Players only love you when they're playin'.
Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
Yes I'm turning to stone
'Cause you ain't coming home
Why ain't you comin' home
If I'm turning to stone?
You've been gone for so long
That I can't carry on
Yes I'm turning, I'm turning,
I'm turning to stone.
Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite.
Don't it make my brown eyes blue?
I was thinking about acid but it seems there's not a reason to believe.
Seasons don't fear the reaper
nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
Music is a world within itself,
With a language we all understand,
With an equal opportunity,
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands...
Well, I've afraid of changing
'cause I've built my life around you.
But time makes you bolder
even children get older
and now I'm getting older too.
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Everyone around you has their little schemes.
Hold on to your dreams.
Tonight I'm gonna break away, just you wait and see.
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone, Turned on some music to start my day,
I lost myself in a familiar song,
I closed my eyes and I slipped away .....
Mucho mistrust: love's gone behind.
If you got a job to do, you gotta do it well.
You gotta give the other fellow hell!
Planet Clair has pink air
all the trees are red.
No one ever dies there
no one has a head!
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft . . .
Please come in peace, we beseech you.
In these old, familiar rooms
children would play.
Now there's only emptiness
nothing to say.
Take this job and shove it. I ain't working here no more.
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie.
For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all: Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose
AWESOME Lil'Rhino, here's another:
We were at a party,
His earlobe fell in the deep,
Someone reached in and grabbed it,
It was a rock lobster!
Rock loooooo - obster
Rock loooooo - obster
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you!
I've looked around enough to know
You're the one I wanna' go through time with
If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel
With a little luck, we can make this whole damn thing work out.
You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes, I was chasing your direction,
I was telling you no lies, and I was lovin' you...
Running on empty
Running blind
Running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Young man says you are what you eat, eat well.
Old man says you are what you wear, wear well.
You know what you are and you don't give a damn
Burtsing your belt that is your homemade sham.
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie
She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
Was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those american thighs
Got your mother in a whirl
'cause she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone,
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity, Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind...
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, know when to run
You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
Oh it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along...
Thank you falletinme be mice elf agin.
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Somebody say, "Is there funk after death?"
I say, "Is Seven Up?"
Oh, I'm not braggin' on myself, Baby
But I know somehow, someday, someway
You're gonna' miss my lovin'
You're gonna' miss my lovin'
Late in the midnight hour, Baby
I know that you are gonna' miss my lovin'.
Now if I was the President
And the Congress called my name
I'd say, "Now, who do you think you're foolin'?"
"I've got the Presidential Seal
I'm up on the Presidential Podium
My Mama loves me, she loves me
She get on her knees and hug me
Oh, she loves me like rock
She rocks me like the Rock of Ages
She loves me loves me loves me..."
Just whip it .... whip it good!
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds, but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
I know I could share it, if you want me to
If you're goin' my way, I'll go with you
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead, so life won't pass me by...
Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man
They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
Moonlight
da da da da da da da da
Feels right
da da da da da da da da
[shoots self]
I believe in miracles
Where're you from, you sexy thing, you sexy thang you
I believe in miracles since you came along, you sexy thing
Where did you come from, baby
How did you know, I needed you
How did you know I needed you so badly
How did you know I'd give my heart gladly
Yesterday I was one of the lonely people
Now your lying close to me, making love to me
I believe in miracles
Where're you from, you sexy thing, sexy thing you
Every 1's a winner, baby.
You're a shining star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be
Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be...
Crystal ball on the table
Showin' the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You better get outta' there fast!
'Cause every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
It's you and me, Daddy.
It's you and me... Daddy---
It's you and me... Daddy---
E-yeah yeah yeah yeah yo-ohhhhhhhhhh
psst... fk, I think that's Eighties.
Ah...quite right. Thanks Cleome!
Actually Kate Bush songs came out a bit late here in Canada and it was a bit of a confusion remembering the order and dates.
Hey, at least you've got taste.
I don't trust my memory at all, so I look everything up on Wiki first.
How's this one:
Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man."
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love...
Love is thicker than water.
A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire, 'cause dancin' gets her higher than anything else she knows
I bruise you, you bruise me
We both bruise too easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you, and that's all I know...
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in
you got ta be cruel to be kind
in the right measure
cruel to be kind
it is a very good sign.
^ (I love that song! Here's another one by Nick Lowe)
She was a winner
Who became a doggie's dinner
She didn't mean much to me
Work! and Work!
Keep those rags and mah-chines hummin'!
Mother said I was a dancer before I could walk
Crack that whip,
Give the past the slip,
Step on a crack,
Break your momma's back.
There's a little place,
a place called space.
...Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away...
Nothing's higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamer's only dream
Heaven's angel
Devil's daughter
...Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
if you try to ask
Is it cool?
Is it cool?
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna' be with my baby
I am free
Flying in her arms
Over the sea...
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say that you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart, you're leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
If you want to leave, take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by, just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
Like a child, girl
The revolution will not be televised!
Will not be televised!
Will not be televised!
The revolution will be no rerun, Brother!
The revolution will be live!
Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
...What the people need is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do, if you know how
Gotta' get a message, get in on through
Oh, now Mama's goin' to, after a while...
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
