lyrics Lionel Richie

Well my friends the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on ...
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Parti', Karamu', Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We're going to Parti', Karamu', Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), Ooh yeah (all night)

Endless Love


My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

And I...I want to share
All my love...with you
No one else will do
And your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
They tell me how much you care
Oh yes, you will always be, my endless love

Two hearts...two hearts that beat as one
Our lifes have just begun
Forever I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms, and love (oh love)
I'd be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
(Oh you know I don't mind)

Cause you...you mean the world to me
Oh I know (I know ) I found (I found)
in you my endless love

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh oh...and love (oh love)
I'd be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
(Oh you know I don't mind and care)
You'll be the only one
Oh no I can't deny this love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love...my endless love


hello
lionel richie


I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you


Say You, Say Me
OST White Knights
Lionel Richie


Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

I had a dream
I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing games in the dark

And what they played
Was a masquerade
From behind of walls of doubt
A voice was crying out, ooh

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

As we go down
Life’s lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two

That helping hand
Some one who understands
When you feel you’ve lost your way
You’ve got someone there to say,
"I’ll show you," ooh, ooh

Say you, say me
Say it for always, ah
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

So you think you know the answers, oh, no
Well, the whole world’s got ya dancin’, that’s right I’m telling you
It’s time to start believin’, oh, yes
Believe in who you are, you are a shining star

Say you, say me
Say it for always, oh
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

Say it together
Naturally



Lionel Richie
Stuck On You


Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I'm stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I'm going
I've packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away
'Cause this time little darling
I'm coming home to stay

I'm stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
I'm mighty glad you stayed


truly
lionel richie


Girl, tell me only this
That I have your heart for always
And you want me by your side
Whispering the words, "I’ll always love you"

And forever
I will be your lover
And I know if you really care
I will always be there

Now I need to tell you this
There’s no other love like your love
And I, as long as I live
I’ll give you all the joy my heart and soul can give

Let me love you
I need to have you near me
And I feel with you in my arms
This love will last forever

Because I’m truly
Truly in love with you, girl
I’m truly
Head over heels with you, love

I need you
And with your love I’m free
And truly
You know you’re alright with me

lyrics Melanie C

How come i didn't see you
Were making fun of me
How dare you change the rules
You made me look a fool
When are you gonna see the
last laugh's not on me
What am i gonna so to get my
revenge on you

You're goin' down
Goin' down

Was it just another line
Or did i misread the sign
What else could i do
I was so into you
With all this bad luck i've had
My karma must be bad
You've played your little game
Oh what a shame

Mel C - Goin' Down

How come i didn't see you
Were making fun of me
How dare you change the rules
You made me look a fool
When are you gonna see the
last laugh's not on me
What am i gonna so to get my
revenge on you

You're goin' down
Goin' down

Was it just another line
Or did i misread the sign
What else could i do
I was so into you
With all this bad luck i've had
My karma must be bad
You've played your little game
Oh what a shame

You're goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down

I'm singing it out loud and i don't
care
I'm singing it proud everywhere

Now i feel no remorse
My life is back on course
From this little hit
i have become a superbitch
But don't be afraid by that
confession i've made
I am not a whore
I have gone hardcore

You're goin' down
goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down

I'm singing it loud and i don't
care
I'm singing it proud everywhere
I'm singing it loud and i don't
care
I'm singing it proud everywhere

Ha ha ha ha
You're goin' down
Goin' down
You're goin' down
Goin' down

Yeah


Melanie C - I Turn To You

In the world it's darker than I can understand
When nothing turns out the way I plan
When the sky turns grey and there's no end in site
When I can't sleep through the lonely night

I turn to you, like a flower leaning toward the sund
I turn to you, cuz you're the only one
Who can turn me around, when I'm upside down
I turn to you

When my insides are wrecked with anxiety
You have the touch that required me
You lift my spirits you melt the ice
When I need inspiration when I need advice

I turn to you, like a flower leaning toward the sund
I turn to you, cuz you're the only one
Who can turn me around, when I'm upside down
I turn to you

Where would I be, what would I do
If you never helped me through
I hope someday, if you've lost your way
You can turn to me, like I turn to you

I turn to you, like a flower leaning toward the sund
I turn to you, cuz you're the only one
Who can turn me around, when I'm upside down
I turn to you

I turn to you, when fear tells me to turn around
I turn to you, cuz you're the only one
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down
I turn to you
I turn to you
I turn to you



Melanie C
Never Be The Same Again


Come on
Ooh yeah
Never be the same again

I call you up whenever things go wrong
You're always there
You are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long
To take the forbidden step
Is this something that I might regret

(Come on come on)
Nothing ventured nothing gained
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can't be tamed
(Come on come on)
I'm hoping that you feel the same
This is something that I can't forget

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
Never be the same again

Now I know that we were close before
I'm glad I realized I need you so much more
And I don't care what every one will say
It's about you and me
And we'll never be the same again

I though that we would just be friends
(Oh yeah)
Things will never be the same again
Never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end
(We've only just begun)
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
(Opened up the door)
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never never be the same again
Never be the same again

Left Eye (rap):
Check it
Night and day
Black beach sand to red clay
The US to UK
NYC to LA
From sidewalks to highways
See it'll never be the same
What I'm sayin' my mind frame never changed till you
came and rearranged
But sometimes it seems completely forbidden
To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden
When there's no competition
And you render my condition
Though improbable it's not impossible
For a love that could be unstoppable
But wait
A fine line's between fate and destiny
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly and
As our energies mix and begin to multiply
Everyday situations
They start to simplify
So things will never be the same between you and I
We intertwined our life forces and now we're unified

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never never be the same again

(Come on come on)
Things will never be the same again
(You are the one)
Never be the same again....

It's not a secret anymore
Never be the same again

Never be the same again


Melanie C
Northern Star


She tired to catch the feeling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
SHe sis but kept in hidden well
Untill she cracked then she fell
If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide
They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean You'll never drown
Who's next ? Who's gonna steal your crown? And you'll see
I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes
Northern star
Fulfil the longing in your heart
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true
They buy your dreams so they can sell you soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come Feelings go
I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your live without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see She's not far
Northern star...
Repeat Chorus

lyrics Michael Bolton

I have often dream of a far off place
Where a hero's welcomed would be waiting for me
Where the crown's would cheer when they see my face
And the voice keep saying this is where I meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every man would be worth my life
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I'm in now

I may go undone road to embrace my faith
Though that road may wonder, it will lead me to you
And the thousand years would be worth the wait


Michael Bolton
Go The Distance


I have often dream of a far off place
Where a hero's welcomed would be waiting for me
Where the crown's would cheer when they see my face
And the voice keep saying this is where I meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every man would be worth my life
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I'm in now

I may go undone road to embrace my faith
Though that road may wonder, it will lead me to you
And the thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I stay untacked, no, I won't accept defeat
Is it all too slow?
But I won't loose hope 'till I go the distance
And my journey is fullfilled, oh yeah

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
My hero strand in magic, kinda sparks, oh...

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its haunts
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Till I find my hero's welcomed waiting in your arms

I will search a world, I will face its haunts
'Till I find my hero's welcomed waiting in your arms



Michael Bolton
SAID I LOVE YOU... BUT I LIED


You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Til the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus:

Said I loved you but I lied
Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...But I lied



Michael Bolton
WHEN I'M BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN


Gonna break from these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again

When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down that street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that
I'm strong

Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again

Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again

And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll be back on my feet again

lyrics Rolling Stone

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

ANGIE

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

HONKY TONK WOMAN

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.


The Rolling Stones
It's Only Rock N' Roll


If I could stick my pen in my heart
I would spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been lonely?


If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?


And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town


I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...

PAINT IT BLACK

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

RUBY TUESDAY

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

SHE'S A RAINBOW

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is lik a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots her colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

START ME UP

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man cum
You, you make a dead man cum


THE LAST TIME

Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no

Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no

Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'Cuz I'll be gone a long, long time

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no
Well, this could be the last time


TIME IS ON MY SIDE

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me

Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
'Cause I know
You're gonna come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I always said you would)
You'll come running back, to me
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side

REM - Daysleeper

receiving dept., 3 a.m.
staff cuts have socked up the overage
directives are posted.
no callbacks, complaints.
everywhere is calm.

Hong Kong is present
Taipei awakes
all talk of circadian rhythm

REM - Daysleeper

receiving dept., 3 a.m.
staff cuts have socked up the overage
directives are posted.
no callbacks, complaints.
everywhere is calm.

Hong Kong is present
Taipei awakes
all talk of circadian rhythm

I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
daysleeper

the bull and the bear are marking
their territories
they're leading the blind with
their international glories

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night.

I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
don't wake me with so much.
daysleeper.

I cried the other night
I can't even say why
fluorescent flat caffeine lights

its furious balancing

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night
I see today...
don't wake me with so much. the
ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
my bed is pulling me,
gravity
daysleeper. daysleeper.
daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper

Drive

Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby

(chorus 1)
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby

What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

(chorus 2)
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

(chorus 3)
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby

(chorus 4)
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

(repeat chorus 3)

Ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie in come free, baby

(repeat chorus 2)

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your back, baby

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 4)

(repeat chorus 2)

Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby

EVERBODY HURTS - R.E.M.

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 it's 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, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

REM - Imitation Of Life

Charades pop skill
Water hyacinth named by a poet
Imitation of life

Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry

That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try

You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all
You've got it sussed

Like a Friday fashion show
Teenager cruising in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try

That sugar cane that tasted good
That cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try

No one can see you cry

That sugar cane that tasted good
That freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

This sugar cane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry

Losing My Religion

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

R.E.M. - Strange Currencies

I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on
Turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on

1-These words,"You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine, all the time"

Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name,
Secret love, make it rhyme
Take you in and make you mine?
(rpt 1)

I tripped and fell. Did I fall?
What I want to feel, I want to feel it now

Now with love comes strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance,
A fourth chance, a word, a signal,
A nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real, real
(rpt 1)

These words, "You will be mine"
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh


REM
The Great Beyond

Lyrics I´ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can´t believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don´t want to stay around
Why can´t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond


I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great

(repeat following two verses 3 x each)
I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great

What's The Frequency, Kenneth?


"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh
