I hear your questions
I see your face
Your life before you
Is full of grace
What can I tell you
To let you know
Your angel’s eyes
Will watch you grow
Come listen close
And I’ll try to let you know
It’s all I know
There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
But I have come this far
With a truth of the heart
Deep down inside
I think we’re all the same
Try not to judge someone
And never shame
I do believe that people are good
They just want hope and respect
And to be understood
Sometimes it hard sometimes it’s strange
But the truth of the heart is people can change
Yes there is danger and there are shadows
And there is fear inside the dark
It has powered countries and borne religion
Fear can never rule the heart
My father’s burden
My mother’s rain
My own desire
My sister’s pain
All souls have traveled along this road
Each one has carried their own heavy load
I hear your questions
I see your face
Your life before you
Is full of grace
What can I tell you
To let you know
Your angel’s eyes
Will watch you grow
Come listen close
And I’ll try to let you know
It’s all I know
There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
But I have come this far
With a truth of the heart
Deep down inside
I think we’re all the same

And to be understood

But the truth of the heart is people can change
Yes there is danger and there are shadows
And there is fear inside the dark
It has powered countries and borne religion
Fear can never rule the heart
My father’s burden
My mother’s rain
My own desire
My sister’s pain
All souls have traveled along this road
Each one has carried their own heavy load

Nice lady!
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home
To meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man, he had a terrible fright
Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream
Ain't no diff'rence if you're black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry

melissa again...
You’ve never been to the moon
But don’t you want to go
Under the sea in the volcano
You’ve never looked into my eyes
But don’t you want to know
What the dark and the wild
And the different know
Come dance with me now
We’ll dance without a care
I’m as free as a fire
And change is in the air
There are some things in my life
I’ll never understand
But they become the force
That makes me who I am
Don’t you worry about the kids
The kids are all right
Mama’s rollin’ in the back yard
Filled with love and light
’cause you live and you learn
And you learn to hold on
And time will make it heal
And time will make it gone
Come with me now
Come with me now
It’s time to try
It’s time to fly
You’ve never been to the moon
But don’t you want to go
Under the sea in the volcano
You’ve never looked into my eyes
But don’t you want to know
What the dark and the wild
And the different know
Come dance with me now
We’ll dance without a care
I’m as free as a fire
And change is in the air
There are some things in my life
I’ll never understand
But they become the force
That makes me who I am
Don’t you worry about the kids
The kids are all right
Mama’s rollin’ in the back yard
Filled with love and light
’cause you live and you learn
And you learn to hold on
And time will make it heal
And time will make it gone
Come with me now
Come with me now

Don't Know Much
Linda Ronstadt / Aaron Neville
Look at this face
I know the years are showing
Look at this life
I still don't know where it's going
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
Look at these eyes
They never seen what matters
Look at these dreams
So beaten and so battered
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
So many questions
Still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me
Sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know
Is me and you
Look at this man
So blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul
Still searching for salvation
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin’ fun,
But back home he’ll always run
To sweet melissa... mmm...
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the gypsy’s name
No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet melissa... mmm...
Again the morning’s come,
Again he’s on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
Will you hide the dead man’s ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
Or will his spirit roll away?
But I know that he won’t stay without melissa.
Yes I know that he won’t stay without melissa.
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.

Midnight Oil lyrics
[Written by Peter Garrett, Rob Hirst and Jim Moginie]
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair`s fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact`s a fact
It belongs to them
Let`s give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair`s fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert
Lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
I said, the time has come
To say fair`s fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact`s a fact
It belongs to them
Let`s give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair`s fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact`s a fact
It belongs to them
We`re gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

another melissa song...
I want to find me a car
With only one headlight
A straight six ford
On a good luck night
I want to roll down the windows
And teach you to fly
I want to give you a thrill
The kind you can’t buy
I want to lose all your demons and go
I want to tear off your chains ’cause I know
All the way to heaven is heaven
Caught between the spirit and the dust
All the way to heaven is heaven
Deep inside of us
I want to find me a bar
With a blue light on
Dollar shot specials
A bartender named dawn
Painting the town
Selling the farm
You can pierce your nose
And I’ll tattoo my arm
I want to lose all your demons and go
I want to tear off your chains ’cause I know
All the way to heaven is heaven
Caught between the spirit and the dust
All the way to heaven is heaven
Deep inside of us
I want to find me a carnival
Outside of town
A tilt-a-whirl set up
With a merry-go-round
Cotton candy fingers
And a snow cone mouth
I want to roll you in sawdust
Till they run us both out
All the way to heaven
All the way
I want to find me a car
With only one headlight
A straight six ford
On a good luck night
I want to roll down the windows
And teach you to fly
I want to give you a thrill
The kind you can’t buy
I want to lose all your demons and go
I want to tear off your chains ’cause I know
All the way to heaven is heaven
Caught between the spirit and the dust
All the way to heaven is heaven
Deep inside of us
I want to find me a bar
With a blue light on

And I’ll tattoo my arm
I want to lose all your demons and go

All the way to heaven is heaven

And a snow cone mouth
I want to roll you in sawdust
Till they run us both out
All the way to heaven
All the way

Ain’t it crazy
For a moment there
This felt just like dying
But now I see that something inside
Is coming alive
Ain’t it crazy
No use running from a revolution
I just surrender to this evolution
Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
Amazing grace
Has touched my face
And the sweet sound doesn’t lie
Ain’t it crazy
For a moment there
I just gave up trying
But now I see
You can let the light in
You can begin again
Ain’t it crazy
I lay me down in this sweet perfection
I am a witness to my resurrection
Heal me lift me
Take me to the waterside
Drop me in let me swim
Let everyone know
I’ll be coming home again
Make no mistake
I’m wide-awake
Ain’t it crazy
Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
I’ll take what I’ve earned
These lessons I’ve learned
I’m ready for the ride
Heal me lift me
Take me and my soul will fly
My battered heart will make a new start
Let everyone know
I’ll be coming home again
Heal me lift me
Take me to the waterside
Drop me in
Come on and watch me swim
Let everyone know
I’ll be coming home again
Ain’t it crazy
For a moment there
This felt just like dying
But now I see that something inside
Is coming alive
Ain’t it crazy
No use running from a revolution
I just surrender to this evolution
Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
Amazing grace

And the sweet sound doesn’t lie

Drop me in let me swim

I’ll be coming home again
Make no mistake

Ain’t it crazy
Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
I’ll take what I’ve earned
These lessons I’ve learned
I’m ready for the ride
Heal me lift me
Take me and my soul will fly
My battered heart will make a new start

Heal me lift me

This is a great thread. I'll have to add a few of my own later........
rocking in the office to the b-52's...
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says 15 miles to the Love Shack! Love shack yah yah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, (a Love Shack bay-bee).
Love shack, baby love shack,
love shack, baby love shack, love shack.
(love baby, that's where it's at) love shack
(love baby, that's where it's at)
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a hill,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the highway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together, love shack baby...
(Love Shack baby!) Love Shack, that's where it's at! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies
YEA! the whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money.
Oh the Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together

We got some thin’ we both know it,
We don’t talk too much about it
Ain’t no real big secret, all the same,
Somehow we get around it
Listen, it don’t really matter to me
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon
Honey, it don’t make no difference to me
Baby, everybody’s had to fight to be fre e
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee
No baby, you don’t have to live like a refugee
Baby, we ain’t the first
I’m sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this ain’t real to you
It’s one of those things you got to feel to be true
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied-up, taken away, and held for ransom
Honey, it don’t really matter to me
Baby, everybody’s ha d to fight to be free
You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee
No, you don’t have to live like a refugee
Baby, you don’t have to live like a refugee

Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me thru
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars comin' thru to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain

Vernon'll meet me when the Boeing lands
Keys in the MG will be in his hands
Just do the driving 'n' I'm on my way
It's all on the right side in Montego Bay, Sing out!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Come sing me La
Come sing me Montego Bay
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I thirst to be thirsty in Montego Bay, Sing out!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Come sing me La
Come sing me Montego Bay
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Late in the night we turn to lobster red
I still feel the motion here at home in bed
I tell you it's hard for me to stay away
Do anyt'ing till you been high in Montego Bay, Sing out!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Come sing me La

Say, where you gonna go
Girl, where you gonna hide
You go on leavin' out your heart
And all it's sayin' down deep inside
From here I can feel your heartbeat
Oh, you got me all wrong
You ain't got no worry
You just been lonely too long
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'

But what you're keepin' to yourself
Oh, you know it just ain't fair

For the rest of your life
Why you in such a hurry
To be lonely one more night

From a long time ago

Nice lady!
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talkin' to you
It's so sad that you're leavin'
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one...ohhh

I really don't think you're strong enough, no

What am I supposed to do,
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turnin' back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cos I've had time to think it through
,N' maybe I'm too good for you, ohhh

I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is so dark I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
