Leonard Cohen - Dance Me to the End of Love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dead Milkmen - Born to Love Volcanos

Born to love volcanos
Seen em on PBS
Born to love volcanos
My apartment is a mess
Somewhere under that pile of clothes
Lies a whole $10 bill
Telephones are ringing
In a land called PBS
Fat lady is singing
In a land called PBS
Maybe she loves volcanos too
I'll just have to take a guess
She looks like a little volcano
With her red hair and brown dress

Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Volcanos, volcanos, volcanos, volcanos

Born to love volcanos
Seen em on PBS
Born to love volcanos
This city is a mess
Somewhere on a steam vent
Sits a man without a home
Tribute to Carl Sagan
Tonight on PBS
Alistair Cooke is beggin'
Tonight on PBS
Maybe he needs my money more
Than a man without a home
He wants to make a documentary
On the footwear of ancient Rome

Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Volcanos, volcanos, volcanos, volcanos

Born to love volcanos
Seen em on PBS
Born to love volcanos
This country is a mess
Every 2 minutes a girl gets pregnant
Cause no one gives them the facts
Intellectuals are phoning
To a land called PBS
Some old man is droning
In a land called PBS
Maybe he needs my money
More than a bunch of pregnant teens
A toll-free number to call in my money
Appears upon my screen

Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Born to love volcanos
Volcanos, volcanos, volcanos, volcanos
Born to love volcanosD

Weird Al - Good Enough for Now

Oh, I couldn't live a single day without you
Actually, on second thought, well, I suppose I could
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, honey, you're the greatest
Well, at any rate, I guess you're...pretty good

Now, it seems to me I'm relatively lucky
I know I probably couldn't ask for too much more
I honestly can say you're an above-average lady
You're almost just what I've been looking for

You're sort of everything I've ever wanted
You're not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You're the woman that I've always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you're good enough for now

You're pretty close to what I've always hoped for
That's why my love for you is fairly strong
And I swear I'm never gonna leave you, darlin'
At least 'til something better comes along

'Cause you're sort of everything I've ever wanted
You're not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You're the woman that I've always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you're good enough for now
No, not really...but you're good enough for now

Weird Al - Just One of Those Days

Got to work late 'cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out and everybody's disgusted
'Cause it's one of those days, it's just one of those days

I lost one of my socks in the drier
I can't find my wallet and my hair is on fire
Just one of those days, it's just one of those days

I just wrapped my Cadillac around a tree
A big swarm of locusts is following me
There's not even anything good on TV
It's just one of those day, it's just one of those days

Left all my Beatles records out in the sun
Got a Coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue
It's just one of those days, gonna be one of those days

The nazis tied me up and covered me with ants
And I spilled toxic waste on my brand new pants
Just one of those days, ever have one of those days

The bank called me up and told me I'm overdrawn
Some freaks are burnin' crosses out on my front lawn
And I can't believe it, all the Cheetos are gone
It's just, just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days

The F.B.I. has got a tap on my phone
Those darn Russian spies won't leave me alone
Shouldn't have got up this morning, should've known
It's just one of those days, it's just one of those days

A 747 crashed into my den
And there's nothin' but tater-tots for dinner again
It's just one of those days
Never mind, it's just one of those days

Big steamroller just ran over my mom
And I cut myself shaving and they're dropping the bomb
It's just one of those days
That's all, it's just one of those days

Then late at night, just before I go to bed
The world blows up and now everybody's dead
You just can't deny it, it's just like I said
Just, just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days

It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)

John Lennen - Oh Yoko

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on

In the middle of the bath
In the middle of the bath I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
Mmy love will turn you on

In the middle of a shave
In the middle of a shave I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on

In the middle of a dream
In the middle of a dream I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
My love will turn you on

In the middle of a cloud
In the middle of a cloud i call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
My love will turn you on
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
My love will turn you on

Everclear - Santa Monica

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don’t want to be your downtime
I don’t want to be your stupid game

With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I’ll find myself a new place
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try and shake away this disease

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away

I don’t want to be your good time
I don’t want to be your fall-back crutch anymore

I’ll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don’t want to be the bad guy

I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

The Knights of the New Crusade - There Aint no Monkeys in My Family Tree

Well, there's monkeys in the jungle
Theres monkeys zoo
They even got monkeys in some of our school

they tell us that God didnt make the world in seven days
they want us to belive that we evolved from the apes

Well I don't know about them
But I know about me
And there aint no monkeys in my family tree.

There'll be monkeys in the vines
And you'll see 'em up in trees
You'll even see 'em right there, in the TV

They claim that Jonah never lived in the belly of a whale
That our anscestors walked around dragging their tails.

Well I don't know about them
But I know about me
And there aint no monkeys in my family tree.

Well you see some monkeys
They look kinda cute
But not when they're wearing a tie and a suit

Big book of lies and a fancy degree
Trying to make a monkey out of me
No No No!

Well some monkeys are honest
And some monkeys are crooks
Someof those monkeys even write, dishonest monkey books

They'll say that Jesus' miracles never did occur
And that our anscestors were covered in fur.

Well I don't know about them
But I know about me
And there aint no monkeys in my family tree.

The Four Eyes - Hat Nerd

Hat nerd, he's wearing a hat
hat nerd, he knows where its at
hat nerd, he knows where his hat is at
knows where his hat is at, knows where his hat is at

He knows where his hat is, its on his head
thats where his hat is, its on his head
he knows where his hat is at, its on his head
thats where his hat is at, its on his head

Hat nerd, he's wearing a hat
hat nerd, he knows where its at
hat nerd, he knows where his hat is at
knows where his hat is at, knows where his hat is at

And if you see a guy with a hat on,
dont call him a hat nerd
if you meet a guy with a hat on,
dont call him a hat nerd
if you greet a guy with a hat on,
dont call him a hat nerd
if you're sweet on a guy with a hat on,
dont fall in love with a hat nerd

Hat nerd, he's wearing a hat
hat nerd, he knows where its at
hat nerd, he knows where his hat is at
knows where his hat is at, knows where his hat is at.

The Devil is Electric - The Devil and My Family

The devil told my grampa
The day that he would die
And my grampa told my grandma
And she thought it was a lie
Then the day came and my
Grampa he lay dead
Just like the devil said
A train cut off his arms and legs
And it’s a story that my mother told to me
Some people say that its too hard to believe, but
You gotta believe that my mother never lies
She’s never in her life and my grampa he did die, yeah

My father he's hard-workin’ man
the devil’s never had a hand
in anything he did
He’s the hardest workin’ man I’ve ever seen
But I guess his hardest work,
it never worked on me, ‘cause
He thinks I’m lazy and he
thinks that I’m a shame because
I haven’t got a job any
money or a name and…
He’s worried about me and what I’m gonna do
How I’m gonna live I hope the devil’s worried too, yeah

My mother she’s what keeps me alive
She’s the only thing I like in this
World that I despise
She sings and her voice is soft and sweet
She whistles in the shower and
Somehow she loves me
My grandson asked me once, he said
“Grampa are you crazy?” and I said
“Just a touch” and I
Got out my guitar,
I showed him how to play and I
Taught him how to sing the song a little out of key, yeah

And the devil sang with me, and the devil sang with me
On my shoulder like a friend that never leaves
And the devil sang with me, and the devil sang with me
On my shoulder like a friend that never leaves

Frank Sinatra - My Way

And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived, a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.
I did, what I had to do, and saw it through, without exemption.
I planned, each charted course, each careful step, along the byway,
and more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spit it out.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
and did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think, I did all that, and may I say --- not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things, he truly feels,
And not the words, of one who kneels.
The record shows, I took the blows ---
And did it my way!

I did it my way.

This song is just six words long (six words long)

Oh I make a lotta money
They pay me a ton of money
They're payin' me plenty of money

Public Enemy - Bring in the Noise

Bass! how low can you go?
Death row. what a brother knows.
Once again, back is the incredible
The thyme animal
The incredible d, public enemy number one
Five-o said, freeze! and I got numb
Can I tell ’em that I really never had a gun?
But it’s the wax that the terminator x spun
Now they got me in a cell ’cause my records, they sell
’cause a brother like me said, well...
...frarrakhan’s a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do.
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
Make a miracle, d, pump the lyrical
Black is back, all in, we’re gonna win
Check it out, yeah y’all, here we go again

Chorus: turn it up! bring the noise!

Never badder than bad ’cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that’s corrupt as a senator
Soul on roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
’cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I’m saying inside music that the critics are blasting
Me for
They’ll never care for the brothers and sisters
Now across the country has us up for the war

We got to demonstrate, come on now, they’re gonna have to wait
Till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we’ll see if they’ll play this

Chorus: turn it up! bring the noise!

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he’s x, I call him norm, ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock’n’roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin’, you call a band, man
Makin’ a music, abuse it, but you can’t do it, ya know
You call ’em demos, but we ride limos, too
Whatcha gonna do? rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for sonny bono, beat is for yoko ono
Run-dmc first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on it’s feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for eric b. and ll, as well, hell
Wax is for anthrax, still it can rock bells
Ever forever, universal, it will sell
Time for me to exit, terminator x-it

Chorus...

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stand, my man? the beat’s the same with a boost toast
Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. why you ask?
Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
We got to plead the fifth, we can investigate
Don’t need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse’s in effect, got the flavor terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I’m telling you...

Unit Four + Two - Concrete and Clay

You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
That something rare

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

All around
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
So tenderly

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

And that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be

That's the way
(that's the way it's meant to be)
Whoa, that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be [fade]

The Faces - Ooh La La

Poor old granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women’s ways

They’ll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you’re far too kind
Don’t ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

The can can’s such a pretty show
They’ll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey

They come on strong and it ain’t too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You’re just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she’s fast asleep
Then she’s twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, there’s nothing I can say
You’ll have to learn, just like me
And that’s the hardest way
Ooh la la

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

Cat Stevens - Here Comes My Baby

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
