More Mike!

Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

No wind, no rain

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough

My Sweetest Boy
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry.
I'm not the first to know there's just no getting over you.

I know I'm just a fool who's willing,
To sit around and wait for you.
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's nowhere to hide,
Since you pushed my love aside.
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you.

My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end, thats what I intend to do,
I'm hopelessly devoted to you .

But now there's nowhere to hide,
Since you pushed my love aside.
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you.
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you.

All my friends
Say I should leave you alone
You got a heart like a stone
And a wanderin’ eye

And I know that they’re right
I can make up my mind
Not to see you again
But you race through my dreams like the wind
It’s no good to pretend
It won’t happen again
Cause it will happen again

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you’re gonna get burned
It’s only love
When your lovin’ returns
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

And baby I tried
But I’m just not that strong
Guess I knew all along
But that’s not enough
I was falling in love

And you don’t know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody’s car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine
I drove off into the night

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you’re gonna get burned
It’s only love
When your lovin’ returns
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Somewhere in the city tonight
There’s a guy and he’s lonely like me
He’ll be easy to see
And that’s when
He’ll have that look in his eye
He’ll be feeling that way
I see it all plain as day
Oh I’ll never be
What he wants me to be
Oh but lucky for me

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you’re gonna get burned
It’s only love
When your lovin’ returns
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

The Who!

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers'
Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me.
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me.

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

Love Reign O'er me.

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.

Get offa your pedestal
It’s a freakin’ free world
Get offa your pedestal
It’s a freakin’!

She was a punk lolita
Anya and lydia
La petite damita
Could easily eat ya
Holes in her stocking
Nothing is shocking
Down at the heels
Keepin’ it real, ooooh

You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it funky
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it funky
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.

She was a punk lolita
C.b.g.b. era
Connie and roxie
And sweet roberta
Who manned the door
So if you were poor
You’d get in for free
C.b.g.b. la! ooooh

You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it funky
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.

Get offa your pedestal
It’s a freakin’ free world
Get offa your pedestal
It’s a freakin’!

You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it funky
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it funky
You don’t care that I’m just a punk girl doin’ it.

My Sweetest Boy
When you're young and so and love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love would know
What a Town Without Pity can do..

If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are...
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a Town Without Pity can do..

The young have problems Many problems
We need an understanding heart..
Why don't they help us, try to help us
Before this clay and granite planet falls apart...

Take these eager lips and hold me fast..
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two..
What a town Without Pity can do..

How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two..
What a town Without Pity can do

Ooo. you make me live
whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooo, you make me live now honey
Ooo, you make me live
You're the best friend
that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend.
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love
The things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live.
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
You, you're my best friend.

Tv dinners, they really can't be beat.
I like 'em frozen but you understand
I throw 'em in and wave 'em and I'm a brand new man, oh yeah.

Tv dinners, they're goin' to my head.
Tv dinners, my skin is turnin' red.
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin.
I can't wait until tomorrow and thaw one out again, oh yeah.

Tv dinners, I'm feelin' kinda rough.
Tv dinners, this one's kinda tough.
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too,
I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue.

More ZZ Top...

Well I was rollin’ down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and I’m jokin’ and we feelin’ alright.
Oh I’m bad, I’m nationwide.
Yes I’m bad, I’m nationwide.

Easin’ down the highway in a new cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin’ short dresses, wearin’ spike-heel shoes,
They smokin’ lucky strikes, and wearing nylons too.
’cause we bad, we nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we nationwide.

Well I was movin’ down the road in my v-8 ford,
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered.
With my new york brim and my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made.
I’m bad, I’m nationwide.
Well I’m bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I’m nationwide.

last ZZ Top...

and I'm taking my sick azz back to bed...



I got shot through a space not long ago,
I thought I knew the place so well.
It wasn’t the same, now it goes to show,
Sometime you never can tell.

I’m lookin’ high and low, don’t know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

You know I’m movin on in this fine machine,
Rollin’ on through the night.
Seein’ things like I’ve never seen
And it’s taking me outta sight.

Lookin’ high and low, don’t know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

It’s got me up and down,
I been lost and found,
Down in a deep dark hole.
Looks like my luck has changed,
I been rearranged
And I’m coming out on a roll.

Lookin’ high and low, don’t know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

somehow stuck in my head...

Poor old johnny ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used
To sing along, who’d blame them
You’re grown (a grown up), so grown (so grown up), now I must say more than ever
(come on eileen)
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

[chorus]:
Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At these moments, you mean everything
With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on eileen

Come on eileen !

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They’re so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen I’ll hum this tune forever (x2)

Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let’s take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh eileen tell him yes
Ah come on let’s, ah come on eileen
Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means)
At these moments you mean everything

Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye
Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye
Toora toora-too-loora

We are far too young and clever
And things wont ever change

Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything to me

You mean everything

[Spoken]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

[Sung]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Danc¨¦e!

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

[Refrain]
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance

Safe, dance!

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

Is it safe to dance, oh is it safe to dance [6x]
Is it safe to dance

Tragically Hip

Thugs

everyone's got their breaking point
with me it's spiders and with you it's me
thugs in perpetuity
when we're excited little birds around the feeder
the cat's indifferent or he's just furious
it seems that he's never neither
i do the rolling you do the detail
i do the rolling you do the detail

hairbird plucks a hair from a sleeping dog
to build her nest she said i've looked around
and i like your hair the best
i do the rolling you do the detail
i do the rolling you do the detail

Ruby, honey are you mad at your man?

For Catt...a little Chaka Khan...

People ask me everywhere
Is that really all your hair?
I just tell `em, if it ain’t
Then it sure don’t mean
That now I can’t

I just don’t believe it’s fair
To judge a girl by the length of her hair

Take two words like hip and square
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can almost see
What’s outside you and inside me

Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl’s laugh can be
A strong girl’s cry

Black or blond or nappy or fair -
You can’t judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I’d wear a wig up under my hair

Down or high, truth or lie
A weak girl’s laugh can be
A strong girl’s cry

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends
Till the evenin' ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

I know your Daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call
But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends
Till the evenin' ends
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces
And traces of romance in our heads

My Sweetest Boy
here’s a cat on the steps
and I sure could use a lesson from her
she got sly yellow eyes
she got three-coloured crazy-quilt fur
she slinks and creeps, she leaps and she teases
but whatever she does, she does just as she pleases
ooh she’s the calico cat

when she’s feeling lazy,
she just stretches out in the sun
oh but when she’s feeling crazy
she got all the local dogs on the run
she’s lean and mean, she’s a backyard queen
and she looks out for number one
and nobody can break her heart

on those hot summer nights
all the toms come ’round to woo her
but she turns up her nose
’cause they don’t mean a damn thing to her
well she’ll pick them over when she’s in the mood
but when she’s not, look out,
she ain’t afraid to be rude
ooh she’s the calico cat

when she’s feelin’ lazy
ooh she’s the calico cat
