Police - Demolition Man

Artist: Police
Music Album: Ghost In The Machine
(Music Song Lyrics):
Oh! Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man

Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man

I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition

You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need but I don't play that game
'Cause you could be my greatest fan
But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man

I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
Demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man

Police - Canary In A Coalmine

Artist: Police
Music Album: Zenyatta Mondatta
(Music Song Lyrics):
First to fall over when the atmosphere
is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine

Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine

First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine

Byrd Tracy - Right About Now

Artist: Byrd Tracy
Music Album: Unknown
(Music Song Lyrics):
Not so long ago
On his way home from work
He'd stop by the side of the road
Step out of that old beat up Ford
That he drove
And he'd walk around
Searchin' the ground
For a handful of wildflower blooms
Thinkin' of where he'd be soon
There with her
She called them redneck roses
'Cause that's what they were
A simple gift of love
From a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face
Every time
Now it's years down the line
She sits home alone
It's the usual end of the day
Once again, he's workin' late
And never calls
They've got a house on a hill
No problems with bills
And a baby that's on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays
And his love
She called them redneck roses
'Cause that's what they were
A simple gift of love
From a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face
Every time
They could still put a smile on her face
If he only had the time

Byrd Tracy - IF I STAY

Artist: Byrd Tracy
Music Album: Unknown
(Music Song Lyrics):
Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Chokin' the life from me
And leavin' my dreams gaspin' for breath
I've lost sight and so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the way
And I can't live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
There's a road that leaves this all behind

There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay

If you really love me if you care at all
You'll gladly step aside
I've given you the best of me and now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride
There's a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
To a man I haven't been in quite awhile

There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay

Artist: Byrd Tracy
Music Album: No Ordinary Man
(Music Song Lyrics):
written by Doug Crider, Verlon Thompson

The lights were hot and the beer was not
And the band was playin' loud
The house was full
But her eyes pulled me right cross the crowd
And I said how's a guy like me to get to know you
She said not so fast, let me show you

CHORUS:
She said the first step is the two-step
I'm here to dance and nothing more
Swing me round that hardwood floor
If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk
The first step is the two-step then we'll talk

We sang along with every song
And the room was spinnin' round
We danced in line, she felt so fine
And we hardly hit the ground
So I said maybe we could make a reservation
For some wine with candlelight and conversation

REPEAT CHORUS

First things first, let's two-step, then we'll talk

written by Byron Hill, Wayne Tester

Honey they're bringin' out a TV crew
They wanna do a story bout me and you
They'll be stringin' up bright lights in the backyard
There'll be cameras on their shoulders
We'll be readin' cue cards
Leave them long johns on the line
If the kids look dirty, they'll be just fine

CHORUS:

They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my Fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous

Tell em bout your mama and the bowling league
Tell em bout junior and his baseball team
I'll show em my nine point buck on the wall
I'll blow a few times on my new duck call
Let em see ol' blue how he sleeps all day
We'll bring out the Elvis TV trays

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah our idea of a class livin'
Is sittin' on the porch on a cool night
Our Champagne and Caviar
Is an RC cola and a moon pie

Fame Soundtrack - Think Of Meryl Streep

Artist: Fame Soundtrack
Music Album: Miscellaneous
(Music Song Lyrics):
Think of how to use it, use it on the stage
Think of Glenda Jackson, think of Gerry Page,
Think of all the feelings wasted on this creep
Think of how to use them...
Think of Meryl Streep!

why should I be crazy, spilling out my guts,
Make a big explosion, go completely nuts?
These are my emotions, mine alone to keep,
I know I could use them,
Think of Meryl Streep!

Inside me there's a world of colors and light,
Nothing has to be wrong, nothing has to be right,
Inside me are treasures that glow,
An actresses job is to know what she's willing to show,
And then hide all the rest, so no one's the wiser
Save up the best, like Midas the miser,
Keep every moment under control,
Always in charge playing a role...

Smile and shrug your shoulders, make believe it's fine,
Come up with an answer, or a witty line,
Though your heart is breaking, never start to weep,
Someday you can use it...
Someday you can use it...
Someday you can use it...
Think of Meryl Streep!

Oh I could just kill him!

Don't need no rich bitch, to tell me which
Fork to use, I paid my dues
In a rap-trap building called New York
Livin' off beans, greens, and pork
In a basement, tenement,

no one's got to tell me what it meant
To be black, jack
Ace of spades
All the car-wash washers and day-work maids
Can't wash it off, it never fades,
It's who you are until you're dead
Now ain't that a kick upside the head?!

Yeah, I know about Pryor and Portier,
Can't get higher than Sugar ray
Muhammed Ali and Doctor J
And 90% of the N.B.A
Reggie Jackson, Jesse Jackson
Michael and Mahaliah Jackson,
Now what's that got to do with me?
On the street the only thing I see is:
Crack dealers, pocketbook stealers,
Coke snorters, Times Square daughters,
Eight year olds who dance for quaters,
And tokes and two-line blows
New Adidas and stereos!
That's us! Thats it!
So don't be tellin' me all that shit!

Artist: Lara Fabian
Music Album: Unknown
(Music Song Lyrics):
Time stands still
As you turn away
All my thoughts run wild
For a word to say
Should I reach for you
Could it be too late
Can we give it one more try

Here we stand
On the border line
And I search my heart
For a reason why
Did I love too much
Did I hold too tight
Can we leave it all behind

Oooh baby, can we give it one more try
I still want you by my side
Oooh baby, you're the best thing in my life
Can we give it one more try
Before we say goodbye

All of your life
You never took a chance
So if you have to go
I will understand
But can you hold me now
Think of what we had
Let me love you one more time

Chorus

Oooh baby, you're the best thing in my life
Can we give it one more (one more try) try
Before we say
I don't wanna say
Before we say goodbye

Before we say goodbye

Turn the lights down
Way down low
Turn up the music
Hi as fi can go
All the gang's here
Everyone you know
It's a crazy scene
Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the picture'
No no no no .......(Yes)
Walk a tightrope
Your life-sign-line
Such a bright hope
Right place, right time
What's your number'
Never you mind
Take a powder
But hang on a minute what's coming round the corner'
Have you a future'
No no no no .......(Yes)
Well I've been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life's inner meaning
And my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory
It's a pantomime
If you're looking for love
In a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted
But was never mine
But now I've seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very Holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even Zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian Club love
A place in the Country
Everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't change you
For the whole world
You're highbrow, holy
With lots of s

Roxy Music - No Strange Delight

Artist: Roxy Music
Music Album: Flesh Blood
(Music Song Lyrics):
so there goes your life
disappeared from ever loving friends
and now a slave to obsession
your strange delight
you lie awake
how your senses ache
shaking off the night
is there more strange delight?

there goes your self
in the clear forever out of line
and there you'll stray through obsession
your strange delight
can't bear this heat
your poor heart skips a beat
tearing off the years
to when you really cared

so where's your soul?
in the field where every story ends
and then how plain your obsession
your strange delight
so this is hell
not so hard to tell
better men than I
have tried your strange delight
is there no strange delight

(Music Song Lyrics):
All the jobs I've ever held, positions I have known

The one I was a fool to leave was

Right hand to the throne

Ambition took me speed of light

To God's exclusion zone

Michael if you're listening,

Michael who stayed true

One of us got out of line when Paradise was new

One of us was exiled and the one who wasn't's you

Michael - help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it "Lucifer regrets..."

Can't forget his final words were

"Ain't no comeback gonna come your way"

What if I pray ?

Michael the archangel listen.

Michael don't you see ?

We've come to stand for principles that

Prove free will is free

If you are on the side of good

Now where does that leave me ?

Michael - help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it "Lucifer regrets..."

Can't forget his final words were

"Ain't no comeback gonna come your way"

He never could resist a sinner

Or ignore a distress call - but such a fall

You can keep the good times righteousness
The best parting line
Rather then pretend we are A1 ultrafine
Shall I be the first then to say what we have found
There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking

Never let your conscience be harmful to your health
Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself
Just say that you were happy, as happy would allow
And tell yourself that that will have to do for now

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking - Baby talking

Never say you're bitter Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking - Baby talking

Never say you're bitter Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking

Peter Hammill - Still Life

Artist: Peter Hammill
Music Album: Unknown
(Music Song Lyrics):
Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now dumb:
what have we become? What have we chosen to be?
Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of our name -
nothing can ever be the same now the Immortals are here.
At the time, it seemed a reasonable course
to harness all the force of life without the threat of death,
but soon we found
that boredom and inertia are not negative,
but all the law we know
and dead are Will and words like survival.

Arrival at immunity from all age, all fear and all end....
Why do I pretend? Our essence is distilled
and all familiar taste is now drained
and though purity is maintained it leaves us sterile,
living through the millions of years,
a laugh as close as any tear....
Living, if you claim that all that entails is
breathing, eating, defecating, screwing, drinking,
spewing, sleeping, sinking ever down and down
and ultimately passing away time
which no longer has any meaning.

Take away the threat of death
and all you're left with is a round of make-believe;
marshal every sullen breath
and though you're ultimately bored by endless ecstasy
that's still the ring by which you hope to be engaged
to marry the girl who will give you forever -
that's crazy, and plainly
it simply is not enough.

What is the dullest and bluntest of pains,
such that my eyes never close without feeling it there?
What abject despair demands an end to all things of infinity?
If we have gained, how do we now meet the cost?
What have we bargained, and what have we lost?
What have we relinquished, never even knowing it was there?

What chance now of holding fast the line,
defying death and time
when everything we had is gone?
Everything we laboured for

Music Album: Miscellaneous
(Music Song Lyrics):
SKY PILOT
THE ANIMALS

He blesses the boys as they stand in life
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's here to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them it's all right
He knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mother and fathers back home they will cry.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given they move down the line
But hell stay behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good with god you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage
In the words that he's said.
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.
You're soldiers of god you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May god give you strength do your job really well
If it all was worth in only time it will tell.
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so it looks at the sky bright
Remember the words thou shalt not kill.

Artist: Eric Carmen
Music Album: Boats Against The Current
(Music Song Lyrics):
It's been a long time comin'
But I think I've got it figure out
Sometimes the easiest things are still
The hardest ones to learn about
Well I was struggin' so hard for my freedom
And it was there all the time
But I just couldn't see it

(Chorus)
I think I found myself
I think I found what I'm looking for.

Well I got sidetracked somewhere
Tho I really can't recall just when
I lost my inspiration and I couldn't get it back again.
I trusted everyone else so completely
Well I was deaf, dumb and blind
But I'll be damned if I I'll let 'em defeat me.

I'm tired of tricks and politics
And future's burnin' bright
I'm on the line and out of time
For once in my life
I'm gonna do what I think is right.
