Indio - Hard Sun



when I walk beside her
i am the better man
when I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
and when I climbed down to be set free
she took me in again

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

when she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
when I see her pin her charm
she just throws it back again
once I sought an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her blues back again

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

when I go to cross that river
she is comfort by my side
when I try to understand
she just opens up her eyes

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bound down and flew away the hours
of her garden and her sun
so I tried to warn her
i'll turn to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it's still coming down on me

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

Elvis Presley - For The Good Times



Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Fallin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time

For the Good times
I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Just lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Fallin' soft against the window
Make believe you love me one more time

For the good times

Bill Medley And Jennifer Warnes - The Time Of My Life



Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Hey, baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

[SOLO]

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Couse I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you...

Neil Diamond - Solitary Man



Melinda was mine
'Til the time that I found her
Holding Jim
Loving him

Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died too

Chorus:
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein' where love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Having' one girl who'll love you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Bryan Adams - I'll Always Be Right There

Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea



I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids.

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

98 Degrees - If She Only Knew



If she only knew
What I knew but couldn't say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say I love you
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

And how, how did I let her get away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
If she could just see (see)
What I see when I close my eyes (close my eyes)
All that I dream (dream)
Surely she would realize
But like a fool I waited much too long
To let her know the truth
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

Tell me, tell me
How, how did I let her get away (tell me)
'Cause I guess that love
Love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
Say, say, say, say

If she only knew
What I knew but could not say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say I love you, I love you
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay

If she only knew, if she only knew
Maybe she'd stay but she ran away
Why she had to go away
'Cause of what I didn't say
Don't know what to do
Oh God how I wish that she knew

J Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers - Last Kiss




Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead ...
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
Never forget the sound that night ...
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass.
The painful scream that I heard last.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm running in my eyes,
But I found my baby somehow that night.
I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said,
"Hold me darling for a little while."
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I would miss.
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love ... my life, that night.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Everclear - Wonderful



hey, aint life wonderful? wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful... isnt it wonderful Now?

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope its over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when youre little
And the worlds so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that its all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends wont know
When the bell rings I just dont wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I dont believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when youre little
And the world is so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

No
No, I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

I dont wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I dont wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I dont wanna meet your friends
And I dont wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now...

I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

Johnny Mathis - Prelude To A Kiss



If you hear
A song in blue
Like a flower crying
For the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss

If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss

Though its just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A shubert tune with a gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

(bridge)

Though its just a simple melody
With nothing fancy
Nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A shubert tune with a gershwin touch

Oh how my love song so gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

Al Stewart - Time Passages



It was late in December,
the sky turned to snow
All round the day
was going down slow
Night like a river
beginning to flow
I felt the beat
of my mind go

Drifting into time passages
Years go falling
in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight

Well I'm not the kind
to live in the past
The years run too short
and the days too fast
The things you lean on are
the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then
my line gets cast into these

Time passages
There's something back there
that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel
yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
that there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play

Well the picture is changing,
now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
and the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
you once used to know
You reach out your hand,
but you're all alone, in these

Time passages
I know you're in there,
you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the
last train home tonight

Pink Floyd - Two Suns In The Sunset



In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and I think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and I suffer premonitions

confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come

the rust wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
could be the human race is run

like the moment when the brakes lock
and you slide towards the big truck
you stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore.

and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally I understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end

Black Sabbath - Solitude




My name it means nothing, my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I posessed now they are gone
they are gone
they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away
You went away
You went away

The world is a lonely place you're on your own
Guess I will go home sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
Of you
Of you

Bryan Adams - Star



What you wanna be - when you grow up
What you gonna do - when your time is up
What you gonna say - when things go wrong
What you wanna do - when you're on your own

There's a road
long and winding
The lights are blindin'
but it gets there
Don't give up
don't look back
There's a silver linin'
it's out there somewhere
Everybody wants an answer
everybody needs a friend
We all need a shinin' star
on which we can depend
N' so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before

(to find what you'relooking for)

There'll be times
in your life
Ya when you' be dancin' n' shit
but you ain't gettin it
But don't get disillusioned
no, don't expect too much
Cuz if what you have is all you can get
just keep on tryin'
it just ain't happened yet
Everybody wants to be winner
everybody has a dream
We all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before

(gotta get where you're headed for)

Everybody wants some kindness
everybody needs a break
We all need a shinin' star
when things get hard to take
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before

Blink 182 - Adam's Song




I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all.

I took my time I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone.

I never conquered rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside.

The world was wide too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone.

I never thought I'd die alone
another six months I'll be unknown
give all my things to all my friends
you'll never step foot in my room again.

You'll close it off board it up
remember the time that I spilled the cup
of apple juice in the hall
please tell mom this is not her fault.

I never conquered rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside.

The world was wide too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone.

I never conquered rarely came
tomorrow holds such better days
days when I could still feel alive
when I can't wait to get outside.

The world is wide the time goes by
the tour is over I survived
and I can't wait till I get home
to pass the time in my room alone.
