Where the Streets Have no Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel sunlight on my face I see the dust cloud disappear Without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do The city's aflood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do Our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh, and I see love See our love turn to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh, when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do |

Creep ~ Radiohead
When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here, Ohhhohh, Ohhhohh She's running out again, She's running out She's run run run ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special... But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here. |
We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye
~ England Dan & John Ford Coley Turn on the radio We'll play it way down low There's a tear in your eye That's reflecting the fire's glow and I wish the night would never end The sun ain't gonna be my friend Lying here waiting and wishing I knew when We'll never have to say goodbye again We'll never have to say goodbye again You must leave I know you will I won't let you go until you show me some secret for making this time stand still And somewhere, sometime from now Together again somehow All of the waiting will seem like a moment and then We'll never have to say goodbye again We'll never have to say goodbye again The whole night afraid to see the light And the whole day cryin Wishin I knew when We'll never have to say goodbye again We'll never have to say goodbye again And I wish the night would never end The sun ain't gonna be my friend We'll never have to say goodbye again We'll never have to say goodbye again |
Understanding ~ Bob Seger
It seems like only yesterday I didn't have a clue I stood alon not knowin where to turn Now suddenly I look around And everything looks new I don't know why, but I think I'm startin' to learn They call it understanding A willingness to grow I'm finally understanding There's so much I can know Until the day you came along I used to just get lost I only heard the things I wanted to hear It always seemed like no one cared But then you took the time And now I look and everything seems clear You've got me understanding You've really helped me see I'm finally understanding It's meant so much to me You've got me understanding You're really on my side You've got me understanding |

THE SEARCH IS OVER
Survivor How can I convince you what you see is real Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew I took for granted the friend I have in you I was living for a dream, loving for a moment Taking on the world, that was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever, the search is over You were with me all the while Can we last forever, will we fall apart At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart You followed me through changes and patiently you'd wait Till I came to my senses through some miracle of fate I was living for a dream, loving for a moment Taking on the world, that was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever, the search is over You were with me all the while Now the miles stretch out behind me Loves that I have lost Broken hearts lie victims of the game Then good luck it finally struck Like lightning from the blue Every highway leading me back to you Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done The search has come full circle Our destinies are one So if you ever loved me Show me that you give a damn You'll know for certain The man I really am I was living for a dream, loving for a moment Taking on the world, that was just my style Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper The search is over, love was right before my eyes |

Don't Know Why
Nora Jones I waited 'til I saw the sun I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever I would cross the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road alone My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come |

My Eyes Adored You
Frankie Valli ____ My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far Carried your books from school Playin' make-believe you're married to me You were fifth-grade, I was sixth When we came to be Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay 'Til we grew into the me and you Went our separate ways My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame I worked my fingers to the bone Made myself a name Funny, I seemed to find That no matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss And the love I left behind My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far |

To Make You Feel My Love
Garth Brooks ______ When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you haven't made your mind up yet And I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met There's not doubt in my mind where you belong I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling down the avenue There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love The storms are raging on a rolling sea And on the highway of regret The winds of change are blowing wild and free You ain't seen nothin' like me yet There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy make your dreams come true To make you feel my love |

a hard rain's a-gonna fall (words and music/bob dylan, sung by/quite a few)
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |
Cradle of Filth - Thirteen Autumns And A Widow Spawned wanton like blight on an auspicious night Her eyes betrayed spells of the moon's eerie light A disquieting gaze forever ghosting far seas Bled white and dead, Her true mother was fed To the ravenous wolves that the elements led From crag-jagged mountains that seemingly grew in unease Through the maw of the woods, a black carriage was drawn Flanked by barbed lightning that hissed of the storm (Gilded in crests of Carpathian breed) Bringing slaves to the sodomite for the new-born On that eve when the Countess' own came deformed A tragedy crept to the name Bathory Elizabeth christened, no paler a rose Grew so dark as this sylph None more cold in repose Yet Her beauty spun webs Round hearts a glance would betroth She feared the light So when She fell like a sinner to vice Under austere, puritanical rule She sacrificed... Mandragora like virgins to rats in the wall But after whipangels licked prisoners, thralled Never were Her dreams so maniacally cruel (And possessed of such delights) For ravens winged Her nightly flights Of erotica Half spurned from the pulpit Torments to occur Half learnt from the cabal of demons In Her Her walk went to voodoo To see Her own shadow adored At mass without flaw Though inwards She abhored Not Her coven of suitors But the stare of their Lord "I must avert mine eyes to hymns For His gaze brings dogmas to my skin He knows that I dreamt of carnal rites With Him undead for three long nights" Elizabeth listened No sermons intoned Dragged such guilt to Her door Tombed Her soul with such stone For She swore the Priest sighed When She knelt down to atone... She feared the light So when She fell Like a sinner to vice Under austere, puritanical rule She sacrificed Her decorum as chaste To this wolf of the cloth Pouncing to haunt Her confessional box Forgiveness would come When Her sins were washed off By rebaptism in white.... The looking glass cast Belladonna wreaths 'Pon the grave of Her innocence Her hidden face spat murder From a whisper to a scream All sleep seemed cursed In Faustian verse But there in orgiastic Hell No horrors were worse Than the mirrored revelation The She kissed the Devil's phallus By Her own decree... So with windows flung wide to the menstrual sky Solstice Eve She fled the castle in secret A daughter of the storm, astride Her favourite nightmare On winds without prayer Stigmata still wept between Her legs A cold bloodedness which impressed new hatreds She sought the Sorceress Through the snow and dank woods to the sodomite's lair Nine twisted fates threw hewn bone die For the throat of Elizabeth Damnation won and urged the moon In soliloquy to gleam Twixt the trees in shafts To ghost a path Past the howl of buggered nymphs In the sodomite's grasp To the forest's vulva Where the witch scholared Her In even darker themes "Amongst philtres and melissas Midst the grease of strangled men And eldritch truths, elder ill-omen Elizabeth came to life again" And under lacerations of dawn She returned Like a flame unto a deathshead With a promise to burn Secrets brooded as She rode Through mist and marsh to where they showed Her castle walls wherein the restless Counted carrion crows She awoke from a fable to mourning Church bells wringing Her madly from sleep Tolled by a priest, self castrated and hung Like a crimson bat 'neath the belfry The biblical prattled their mantras Hexes six-tripled their fees But Elizabeth laughed, thirteen Autumns had passed And She was a widow from god and His wrath, finally... |

A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too Then let it rise for a hundred years or two And that's the recipe for making love It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete And that's the recipe for making love And if you've made it right you'll know it It's not like anything you've made before And if you've made it wrong you'll know it 'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself And that's the recipe for making love |

Leave in Silence ~ Depeche Mode
I’ve told myself so many times before But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing’s gonna save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusion I hate being in these situations That call for diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer Or I thought we had a chance Or I could stop this I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer What can I say? (I don’t want to play) anymore What can I say? I’m heading for the door I can’t stand this emotional violence Leave in silence We’ve been running around in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This’ll be the last time (I think I said that last time) If I only had a potion, Some magical lotion That could stop this, I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion What can I say? (I don’t want to play) anymore What can I say? I’m heading for the door I can’t stand this emotional violence Leave in silence |
Master & Servant ~ Depeche Mode
There’s a new game We like to play you see A game with added reality You treat me like a dog Get me down on my knees We call it master and servant We call it master and servant It’s a lot like life This play between the sheets With you on top and me underneath Forget all about equality Let’s play master and servant Let’s play master and servant It’s a lot like life And that’s what’s appealing If you despise that throwaway feeling From disposable fun Then this is the one Domination’s the name of the game In bed or in life They’re both just the same Except in one you’re fulfilled At the end of the day Let’s play master and servant Let’s play master and servant Let’s play master and servant Come on, master and servant |

Sweetest Perfection ~ Yep You Guessed It!
The sweetest perfection To call my own The slightest correction Couldn’t finely hone The sweetest infection Of body and mind Sweetest injection Of any kind I stop and I stare too much Afraid that I care too much And I hardly dare to touch For fear that the spell may be broken When I need a drug in me And it brings out the thug in me Feel something tugging me Then I want the real thing not tokens The sweetest perfection To call my own The slightest correction Couldn’t finely hone The sweetest infection Of body and mind Sweetest injection Of any kind Things you’d expect to be Having effect on me Pass undetectedly But everyone knows what has got me Takes me completely Touches so sweetly Reaches so deeply I know that nothing can stop me Sweetest perfection An offer was made An assorted collection But I wouldn’t trade The sweetest perfection To call my own The slightest correction Couldn’t finely hone The sweetest infection Of body and mind Sweetest injection Of any kind Takes me completely Touches so sweetly Reaches so deeply Nothing can stop me. |
Everything Counts ~ Yep That's Who
The handshake Seals the contract From the contract There’s no turning back The turning point Of a career In korea, being insincere The holiday Was fun packed The contract Still intact The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It’s a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph On the wall Tells the story Of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit Gained a little more power Confidence Taken in By a sun tan And a grin The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It’s a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands Grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts |

There’s more besides joyrides Little house in the countryside Understand, learn to demand, Compromise, sometimes lie Get the balance right, get the balance right Be responsible, respectable, Stable but gullible Concerned and caring, help the helpless But always remain ultimately selfish Get the balance right, get the balance right You think you’ve got a hold of it all You haven’t got a hold at all When you reach the top, get ready to drop Prepare yourself for the fall, you’re gonna fall It’s almost predictable Don’t take this way, don’t take that way Straight down the middle until next thursday Push to the left, back to the right Twist and turn ’til you’ve got it right Get the balance right |
Dangerous ~ Here They Are Again
The things you do Aren't good for my health The moves you make You make for yourself The means you use Aren't meant to confuse Although they do They're the ones that I will choose And I wouldn't want it any other way You wouldn't let me any way Dangerous The way you leave me waiting more Dangerous That's what I want you for Dangerous When I am in your arms Dangerous Know I will come to harm The lies to tell Aren't mean to deceive They're not there for me to believe I've heard your vicious words You know but now It takes a lot to see me hurt And I wouldn't take it any other way But there's a price I have to pay |

I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes |

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today" - Bette Midler
Broken windows and empty hallways, a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles, the frozen smiles to chase love away. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. Lonely, lonely. Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street. That's the way to treat a friend. Bright before me the signs implore me: Help the needy and show them the way. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. Lonely, so lonely. Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street. That's the way to treat a friend. Bright before me the signs implore me: Help the needy and show them the way. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it's gonna rain today. |
Leader of the Band ~ Fogelberg
An only child alone and wild A cabinet maker’s son His hands were meant for different work And his heart was known to none He left his home and went his lone And solitary way And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay A quiet man of music Denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once But his music wouldn’t wait He earned his love through discipline A thundering, velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I’m just a living legacy To the leader of the band My brothers’ lives were different For they heard another call One went to Chicago And the other to St Paul And I’m in Colorado When I’m not in some hotel Living out this life I’ve chose And come to know so well I thank you for the music And your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom When it came my time to go I thank you for the kindness And the times when you got tough And, pap, I don’t think I said, "I love you" near enough The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I’m just a living legacy To the leader of the band I am the living legacy To the leader of the band. |
They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation In cathedrals of our own Now, I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes And I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience, Our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity Our reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfill each others fantasies And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives, With our respective similarities It's either sadness of euphoria |
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows |
Drive ~ Cars
Who's gonna tell you when It's too late Who's gonna tell you things Aren't so great You can't go on Thinking nothing's wrong Who's gonna drive you home tonight Who's gonna pick you up When you fall Who's gonna hang it up When you call Who's gonna pay attention To your dreams Who's gonna plug their ears When you scream You can't go on Thinking nothing's wrong Who's gonna drive you home tonight Who's gonna hold you down When you shake Who's gonna come around When you break You can't go on Thinking nothing's wrong Who's gonna drive you home tonight |
You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood It's alright, it's alright Sometimes that's what it takes You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes You better believe there will be times in your life When you’ll be feeling like a stumbling fool So take it from me you'll learn more from you accidents Than anything you could ever learn at school Don't forget your second wind Sooner or later you'll get your second wind It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again It's alright, it's alright Though you feel your heart break You're only human, your gonna have to deal with heartache Just like a boxer in a title fight You got to walk in that ring all alone You're not the only one who's made mistakes But they're the only things that you can truly call your own Don't forget your second wind Wait in your corner until that breeze blows in You've been keeping to yourself these days Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong Sometimes you just want to lay down and die That emotion can be so strong But hold on Till that old second wind comes along You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself It's alright, it's alright Sometimes that's all it takes We're only human We're supposed to make mistakes But I survived all those long lonely days When it seemed I did not have a friend Cause all I needed was a little faith So I could catch my breath and face the world again Don't forget your second wind Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in Don't forget your second wind Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in |
Buried In Blue ~ Harry Connick
The sun sets red with rage White clouds float by Like high cotton Blank as an empty page Blue is a color buried Not forgotten Sweet as mother's milk And clear as the wind Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk Blue is the color to be buried in When you left Leaving nothing behind There's no one to blame No criminal, no crime You can report a missing person But not a stolen heart And I'm missing a person To whom stealing was an art The painting's complete The brush strokes dry I hear a band playing A bent note or two I guess someone died And just wants to be Buried in blue |
I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be What you hoped that I would be I gave you what wanted God couldn't give you what you need You wanted more from me Than I could ever be You wanted heart and soul But you didn't know, baby Wild, wild is the wind That takes me away from you Cold is the night without your love To see me through Wild, wild is the wind That blows through my heart Wild is the wind, Wild is the wind You got to understand, baby Wild is the wind You need someone to hold you Somebody to be there night and day Someone to kiss your fears away I just went on pretending Too weak, too proud, too tough to say I couldn't be the one To make your dreams come true That's why I had to run Though I needed you, baby Wild, wild is the wind That takes me away from you Cold is the night without your love To see me through, baby Wild, wild is the wind That blows through my heart tonight That tears us apart Wild is the wind, Wild is the wind You got to understand, baby Wild is the wind Solo Maybe a better man Would live and die for you Baby, a better man would Never say goodbye to you Wild, wild is the wind That takes me away from you Cold is the night without your love To see me through, baby Wild, wild is the wind That blows through my heart tonight That tears us apart Wild is the wind, Wild is the wind You got to understand, baby Wild is the wind |
Walking In Memphis ~ Cohn
Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W. C. Handy - won't you look down over me Yeah I got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a boy can be Then I'm walking in Memphis Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis Bo do I really feel the way I feel Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him upto the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered 'round his tomb But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room (Chorus) They've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air And Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would - Do a little number And I sang with all my might And she said - Tell me are you a Christian child? And I said Ma'am I am tonight (Chorus) Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain |
