Locomotive Breath

Ian Anderson

In the shuffling madness, of locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the pistons scraping, steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle, and the train won't stop going
No way to slow down

He sees his children jumping off stations one by one
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor, on his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle, and the train won't stop going
No way to slow down

He hears the silence howling, catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon's bible, open at page one
I think god, he stole the handle, and the train won't stop going
No way to slow down, no way to slow down, no way to slow down

I Second That Emotion

Smokey Robinson / Al Clevland

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Chorus

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Chorus

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Chorus

Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion...

Comfortably Numb

Hello
Is there anybody in there ?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home ?

Come on now
I hear your feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two ballons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb.

I have become comfortably numb.


O.K.
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick


Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become comfortably numb.

Young Lust

I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Oooo, I need a dirty woman
Oooo, I need a dirty girl...

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock n roll refugee
Oo, baby, set me free

Oooo, I need a dirty woman
Oooo, I need a dirty girl

I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby
That I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! Ooh! Please

I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be


I don't need no beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

Gonna be some kind of day

Love...the slowest form of suicide.

Anyone want a ride??

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.


I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.


I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy


(woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes


I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy


Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,


(Indian voice)
White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.


I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy


My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo.

It popped into my head.........


Looks Like Rain


I woke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you'd been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's all right cause I love you,
and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs,
written in the letters of your name.
And brave the storm to come, for it
surely looks like rain

Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
And guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh-oh, hate's just the last thing they're thinking of
They're only tryin' to make it through the night.

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fence you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs,
written in the letter of your name.
And brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain.

Self Explainitory...........Wouldn't you say?



Peaceful Easy Feeling

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a million stars all around

'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing on the ground

I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
But she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go

Chorus

I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again

Chorus

Sometimes I sit and stare at the rain,
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again,
Will it be there tomorrow?

Time passes slowly, and I'm a year older,
But still I live in days gone by...
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder,
Finding tomorrow, the Ashes, the Rain, and I...

hehehe

You been bad
Don't do what I say.
You don't listen.
And you never obey.
Try to teach you.
But you just won't be good.
You won't behave the way
A big girl should.
It's time to give the whip a crack.
I'm gonna have to send you back to
Bitch School.
Bitch School.

You're a beauty.
You're the best of your breed.
You're a handful.
And I know what you need.
You need training.
Gonna bring you to heel.
I'm gonna break you with my will of steel.
Discipline's my middle name.
And no one comes back the same from
Bitch School.
Bitch School.

No more sniffling strangers, or running free at night.
You think my bark's bad, honey - wait till you feel my bite.

You got problems.
You whine and you beg.
When I'm busy,
You wanna dance with my leg.
I'm gonna chain you.
Make you sleep out of doors.
You're so fetching when you're down on all fours.
And when you hear your master,
You will come a little faster, thanks to
Bitch School.

Spinal Tap - Bitch School

Lilith babe if you change a few words could this be your song ? LOL

For my baby
~~~~~~~~

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Lady Love
I heard a voice & it soothed me
Lady Love
A gentle truth & it moved me
Move me & soothe me
Leading me on
Waiting for you now
Lady Love

Lady Love
A man's a fool to believe
Dreams of love
Dancing by like the seasons
Maybe I'll wake up
Oh, tell me I will
And find you there waiting
Lady Love

Lady Love
I need some warm & tender
Nights of love
Sweet & fine to remember
Maybe tomorrow
Your fever will find me
And find you there waiting
Lady Love

And find you there waiting
Lady Love

Waiting waiting
Lady Love

I just can't keep away ! But I do like a lot of songs


Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you thru

Oh love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Perhaps Love
John Denver

I think of the guy from the Dr. Pepper commercial.....LOL! My brain works in mysterious ways.........OMG! There's another song (from U2, "Mysterious Ways")



Werewolves of London

Warren Zevon

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mien

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated last night
Werewolves of London again

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Cheney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Cheney Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London

I saw a werewolf drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Listen,

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
