Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
(CHORUS) I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all now to me, girl, while you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask
And don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
Well, take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
That ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leech
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth that I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got
There's only one girl I'll ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night

Mott the Hoople....
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide,
how he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five,
speed jive, don't want to stay alive
when you're twenty-five.
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
and Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face,
funky little boat race.
The television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks,
oh man, I need TV when I got T Rex
oh brother you guessed
I'm a dude dad.
All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),
carry the news (Where are ya?),
boogaloo dudes (Stand up, come on!),
carry the news.
All the young dudes (I want to hear you.),
carry the news (I want to see you.),
boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you - all of you.),
carry the news.
Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
but he can kick like a mule - it's a real mean team
but we can love, oh yes - we can love.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
we never got it off on that revolution stuff,
what a drag - too many snags.
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine,
I've got to race some cat to bed,
is that concrete all around,
or is it in my head, yeah,
I'm a dude dad.
All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),

All the young dudes (C'mon dudes!),

boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you),
carry the news.
All the young dudes (Hey you there - you with the glasses!),
carry the news (I want you.),
boogaloo dudes (I want you in the front!),
carry the news (Are you all his friends?).
All the young dudes (Will you bring him down, 'cause I want him!),
carry the news
boogaloo dudes (I want him right here, bring him come on - bring him!),
carry the news (There you go!).
All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years!),

When you look over your shoulder
And you see the life that you’ve left behind
When you think it over do you ever wonder?
What it is that holds your life so close to mine
You love the thunder and you love the rain
What you see revealed within the anger is worth the pain
And before the lightning fades and you surrender
You’ve got a second to look at the dark side of the man
You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
And I know you wonder how you ever came
To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame
Draw the shade and light the fire
For the night that holds you and calls your name
And just like your lover, knows your desire
And the crazy longing that time will never tame
You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
I got your number if it’s still the same
You can dream
But you can never go back the way you came
When you look over your shoulder
And you see the life that you’ve left behind
When you think it over do you ever wonder?
What it is that holds your life so close to mine
You love the thunder and you love the rain
What you see revealed within the anger is worth the pain
And before the lightning fades and you surrender
You’ve got a second to look at the dark side of the man
You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
And I know you wonder how you ever came
To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame
Draw the shade and light the fire
For the night that holds you and calls your name
And just like your lover, knows your desire
And the crazy longing that time will never tame
You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
I got your number if it’s still the same
You can dream
But you can never go back the way you came

There’ll be a storm one night
Then I’ll fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms
Too breathless too helpless
Too restless to explain needing you
There’ll be a storm one night
But you will find my place of hiding
We’ll watch the lights like children
Leave the fortress hand in hand
I’ll be thunder
You’ll be lightning
And we’ll collide on dry land
There’ll be a storm one night
And I will find no other rescue
Lost and far from home
Crying for some guiding light
Too reckless too helpless
Too hungry to refrain from needing you
There’ll be a storm one night
The wind will drive me to your castle
And you’ll ignite the fire
Just as if everything were planned
I’ll be thunder
You’ll be lightning
And we’ll collide on dry land
No betrayal
No denial no need to explain
We’ll collide
There’ll be a storm one night
Then I’ll fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms
Too breathless too helpless
Too restless to explain needing you
There’ll be a storm one night
But you will find my place of hiding
We’ll watch the lights like children
Leave the fortress hand in hand
I’ll be thunder
You’ll be lightning
And we’ll collide on dry land
There’ll be a storm one night
And I will find no other rescue
Lost and far from home
Crying for some guiding light
Too reckless too helpless
Too hungry to refrain from needing you
There’ll be a storm one night
The wind will drive me to your castle
And you’ll ignite the fire
Just as if everything were planned
I’ll be thunder
You’ll be lightning
And we’ll collide on dry land
No betrayal
No denial no need to explain
We’ll collide
ozzy...
Won’t you listen ’cos I’m at it again
Lightning striking and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder sit and watch the event
You know I take no prisoners
My back’s to the wall
You know I must be going
When destiny calls
Until I feel that thunder shattering my brain
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Tell your mama that you’re gonna be late
But not to worry we’ll just be rockin’ all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We’re becoming the children of the night
I’m not apologizing
I am what I am
There is no compromising
I don’t give a damn
Until I feel the thunder boiling in my veins
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Oh no I’ve lost control
Here we got it’s only rock ’n’ roll
The silver light is flashing
As all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming
And I’m being told
If you will only listen you will hear them too
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Won’t you listen ’cos I’m at it again
Lightning striking and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder sit and watch the event
You know I take no prisoners
My back’s to the wall
You know I must be going
When destiny calls
Until I feel that thunder shattering my brain
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Tell your mama that you’re gonna be late
But not to worry we’ll just be rockin’ all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We’re becoming the children of the night
I’m not apologizing
I am what I am
There is no compromising
I don’t give a damn
Until I feel the thunder boiling in my veins
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Oh no I’ve lost control
Here we got it’s only rock ’n’ roll
The silver light is flashing
As all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming
And I’m being told
If you will only listen you will hear them too
I won’t stop
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin’ all night rockin’ all night

blue oyster cult...
You scorned the love that I gave you
You lied now nothing can save you
Blue skies are turning to grey
I know the games that you play
Winds of rage they start to build
Too much madness will lay you under
The cards you draw don’t help at all
Hear the sound of approaching thunder
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you’ve been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
You’ll hear my echoes of anger
You’ll fear the roar of my thunder
Nightmares, confusion will come true
Aces and eights are the fate that you drew
Lightning bolts become my swords
When I pull them from the sky
Run my gauntlet of slashing rain
You won’t survive to testify
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you’ve been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
You scorned the love that I gave you
You lied now nothing can save you
Blue skies are turning to grey
I know the games that you play
Winds of rage they start to build
Too much madness will lay you under
The cards you draw don’t help at all
Hear the sound of approaching thunder
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you’ve been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
You’ll hear my echoes of anger
You’ll fear the roar of my thunder
Nightmares, confusion will come true
Aces and eights are the fate that you drew
Lightning bolts become my swords
When I pull them from the sky
Run my gauntlet of slashing rain
You won’t survive to testify
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you’ve been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
not again...
Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she’s three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)
My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
Of things to do and things I’ve done
Another sleepless night’s begun
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)

Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)
There’s so much joy in life,
So many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
Is one I’ve never found
With all life has to offer,
There’s so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
Are ones I can’t avoid
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
Hala hala hala...
Who needs sleep?

Imaginary lovers
Never turn you down
When all the others turn you away
They're around
It's my private pleasure
Midnight fantasy
Someone to share my
Wildest dreams with me
Imaginary lover
You're mine anytime
Imaginary lover, oh yeah
When ordinary lovers
Don't feel what you feel
And real-life situations lose their thrill
Imagination's unreal
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine anytime
[Instrumental Interlude]
Imaginary lovers never disagree
They always care
They're always there when you need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine all the time
My imaginary lover
You're mine anytime
now playing...
Nibblin’ on sponge cake
Watchin’ the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to boil
Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s nobody’s fault
I don’t know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin’ to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
A mexican cutie
How it got here I haven’t a clue
Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I know it’s my own damn fault
Nibblin’ on sponge cake
Watchin’ the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to boil
Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s nobody’s fault
I don’t know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin’ to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty

Some Bruce for kwillia...4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK...
Sandy the fireworks are hailin’ over little eden tonight
Forcin’ a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded
On this fourth of july
Down in town the circuit’s full with switchblade lovers so fast
So shiny so sharp
And the wizards play down on pinball way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like latin
Lovers along the shore
Chasin’ all them silly new york girls
Sandy the aurora is risin’ behind us, the pier lights our carnival
Life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to
Sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin’ in them dusty arcades bangin’ them
Pleasure machines
Chasin’ the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise
To unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that joey kept me spinnin’ I didn’t think I’d ever get off
Oh sandy the aurora is risin’ behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Runnin’ down the beach at night with my boss’s daughter
Well he ain’t my boss no more sandy
Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us
I spoke to `em just last night and they said they won’t set
Themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from
Heaven on their harleys they come and they go
And you can see `em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore
Bars parked making love with their babies out on the kokomo
Well the cops finally busted madame marie for tellin’ fortunes better
Than they do
This boardwalk life for me is through
You know you ought to quit this scene too
Sandy the aurora’s rising behind us, the pier lights our
Carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I’ll love you forever
Sandy the fireworks are hailin’ over little eden tonight
Forcin’ a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded
On this fourth of july
Down in town the circuit’s full with switchblade lovers so fast
So shiny so sharp
And the wizards play down on pinball way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like latin
Lovers along the shore
Chasin’ all them silly new york girls
Sandy the aurora is risin’ behind us, the pier lights our carnival
Life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to
Sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin’ in them dusty arcades bangin’ them

Tonight is "clean the house night"... I think I may just have to break out "The River" CD set...
I got a 007 watch and it’s a one and only
It’s got a i-spy beeper that tells me when you’re lonely
I got a batmobile so I can reach ya’ in a fast shake
When your world’s in crisis of an impendin’ heartbreak
Now don’t you call james bond or secret agent man
Cause they can’t do it, like I can
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker - every day
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker
If you’re hanging from a cliff or you’re tied to the tracks, girl
Columbo split and you can’t find kojak
True love is broken and your tears are fallin’ faster
You’re sufferin’ from a pain in your heart
Or some other natural disaster
Now I don’t care what kind of shape you’re in
If they put up a roadblock, I’ll parachute in
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker - I’m in love
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker - every day
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker - with you
So you fell for some jerk who was tall, dark and handsome
Then he kidnapped your heart and now he’s holdin’ it for ransom
Well, like a mission impossible I’m gonna go and get it back
You know I would’a taken better care of it, baby, than that
Sometimes I get so hot girl, well, I can’t talk
But when I’m with you I cool off , and I walk
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker, and I talk
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker, every day
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker, every day
I got a 007 watch and it’s a one and only
It’s got a i-spy beeper that tells me when you’re lonely
I got a batmobile so I can reach ya’ in a fast shake
When your world’s in crisis of an impendin’ heartbreak
Now don’t you call james bond or secret agent man

I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker - every day
I’m a rocker, baby, I’m a rocker

You’re sufferin’ from a pain in your heart

I went out walking the other day
Seen a little girl crying along the way
She’d been hurt so bad said she’d never love again
Someday your crying girl will end
And you’ll find once again
Two hearts are better than one
Two hearts girl get the job done
Two hearts are better than one
Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes
But I was living in a world of childish dreams
Someday these childish dreams must end
To become a man and grow up to dream again
Now I believe in the end
Two hearts are better than one...
Sometimes it might seem like it was planned
For you to roam empty hearted through this land
Though the world turns you hard and cold
There’s one thing mister that I know
That’s if you think your heart is stone
And that you’re rough enough to whip this world alone
Alone buddy there ain’t no peace of mind
That’s why I’ll keep searching till I find my special one
Two hearts are better than one...

"Clean the house, wash clothes, water all the plants, clean the car and pack my suitcase" night for me. I'm going to have to find some strong motivational music to get me through all that.kwillia said:Tonight is "clean the house night"... I think I may just have to break out "The River" CD set...
I did hear this one yesterday...kwillia said:I think I may just have to break out "The River" CD set...
Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I’m gonna pack my pa and I’m gonna pack my aunt
I’m gonna take them down to the cadillac ranch
Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my cadillac
Cadillac, cadillac
Long and dark shiny and black
Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
James dean in that mercury `49
Junior johnson runnin’ through the woods of caroline
Even burt reynolds in that black trans am
All gonna meet down at the cadillac ranch
Cadillac, cadillac...
Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin’ alone through the wisconsin night
You’re my last love you’re my last chance
Don’t let `em take me to the cadillac ranch
Cadillac, cadillac...
