Lyrically Speaking....

[Phalon]

Rose Garden. I thought Helen Reddy, but Lynn Anderson's name kept coming up in the two minute lyrics drill.

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of glover
So you better think it over
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.....

Have A Heart ~ Bonnie Raitt

Hey!
Shut up.
Dont lie to me.
Hey!
Mister, how do you do.
Oh pardon me I thought I knew you.
Would you stand back baby cause I want to get a better look.
The big man who couldnt handle the little bit of love you took.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you dont love me, why dont you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh dont you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.

Hard to Handle - Otis Reading

Hey there, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get to thrown it on you
You got to come back for more
TOYS and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertisin' love for free
So, you can place your ad with me
Once it come along a dime by the dozen

Toys in the Attic ~ Aerosmith


In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen

She'll take the PAINTING in the hallway,
The one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the ATTIC
She'll need some light to study by.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, but she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in her way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

from "Letting Go" by Suzy Bogguss

That song debuted right at the time I moved out of state, leaving my hometown for the first time. My mom says that for the longest time, she couldn't listen to that song without crying. But Suzy remains one of her favorite singers.

Be yourself and live a little,
Don’t bother painting your face;
Tomorrow it may rain and colors run,
Better it quench the flowers thirst.

By Her ~ Beth Hart

She got a poet's spirit
She burns among the clouds
She never stops believing
She only dreams out loud
There's a jackpot in the dresser
She's fallen in the bath
And if you need to kiss her
Don't forget your stash
'Cause she gives it away
And you're facinated by her
And she does it again with simple & brilliant desire
And she gives it away
And you're facinated by..by her
She wears a million colors
There's rainbows on her soles
She got a sign above her
That says "I'm never growin' old"
You're askin' her to dance
Now she spins a solid, white light
She gonna' make love to you today
Today & every night
And she gives it away
And you're facinated by her

Blinded By Rainbows.................The Stones

Did you ever feel the pain
That he felt upon the cross
Did you ever feel the knife
Tearing flesh that's oh so soft

Did you ever touch the night
Did you ever count the cost
Do you hide away the fear
Put down paradise as lost

Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
Watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it

Did you ever feel the blast
As the semtex bomb goes off
Do you ever hear the screams
As the limbs are all torn off
Did you ever kiss the child
Who just saw his father shot
Do you ever shed a tear
As the war drags on and on

Do you ever touch the night
Or is it just another job
Do you feel the final hours
Put down paradise as lost

Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
And faces in windows
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it

Do you ever fear the night
Could it be the war is lost
Do you fear the final hour
Do you kneel before the cross

You're blinded by rainbows
And watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you scream at night
Do you smell of fear
Is your conscience clear
Are you caked in sweat

Are your clothes all wet
Do you see the light
Is the end in sight
See the face of Christ
Enter paradise
I doubt it

They hung him on the cross

They hung him on the cross for me

They whooped him up the hill

HARD TIMES - RUN DMC

Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock

Hard times [repeat 2x]

Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak

Hard times

Hard times can take you on a natural trip
So keep your balance, and don't you slip
Hard times is nothing new on me
I'm gonna use my strong mentality
Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream
B-b-beating hard times, that is my theme
Hard times in life, hard times in death
I'm gonna keep on fighting to my very last breath

Answer ~ Sarah Mclachlan

I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you can't look down

If it takes my whole life I wont break I wont bend
Itll all be worth it worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
youll still be burning so bright

Stiff Little Fingers Lyrics: Guitar and Drum

GUITAR & DRUM
(Jake Burns)

Well you get your entertainment
Through a corporate plan
Via 5 young athletes in a dancing band
Who are trained to act moronically
And smile on demand
COs it makes more money for the company man
Well it might make all the young girls hearts beat faster
But it don't amuse this cynical old bastard

Chorus:
I believe.
I believe in the power of guitar & drum
I believe in the hope held in a song
I believe that the music makes you strong
I believe in the power of guitar and drum

Well theirs are songs about heartache
Theirs are songs about love
Theirs are songs about sex sung by an eight year old
And there's no-one making statements
COs rebellion don't pay
And they'd rather that you bought this
Cos it's safer that way
Well. I can't believe that everyone is happy
With the newest teen sensation carbon copy

(Repeat chorus)

You gotta eat McFood
Play with Barbie
Drink Coca Cola
Don't do anything that marks you as solo
Only use your brain for playing Nintendo
Consume everything with corporate logos

Go on ahead make all the fat cats fatter
And for God's sake don't say anything that matters

(Repeat chorus)



STRUMMERVILLE
(Jake Burns)

You lit a flame in my heart
And it is burning still
And everytime I hear you shout
It still gives me a thrill
I can see you up there
With your right leg pumping

Chorus:
Goodbye inspiration
Voice of a generation
Goodbye Inspiration
I won't be playing Strummerville again

You wore your heart on your sleeve
With honesty and pride
You gave me hope, made me believe
That what I did was right
You brought out a passion
That had long been missing
Yeah, you brought out a passion
That you never stopped giving

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

And if music seems mundane
It's cos the companies got their way
And all the young bands seem to say
'Please turn our rebellion into money'

So thanks for giving me my creed
I'll try to stay on side
For helping me to dare to dream
After all this time
Cos I still see you up there
On a stage and playing
Yeah, I still see you up there
I still agree with what you're saying

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Not going to play Strummerville again.
(Clash Clash Clash City Rockers)


next word rebellion

[moonglum]

Tinsel Town Rebellion ~ Frank Zappa

From madam wong's to starwood
To the whiskey on the strip
You can hear the crashing, blasting strum
Of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract
From a talent scout some day
They'll sell their ass, their cocks and balls
They'll take the check 'n' walk away
If they're lucky they'll get famous
For a week or two perhaps
They'll buy some ugly clothes to wear
And hope the business don't collapse
Before some stupid magazine
Decides they're really good
They're a tinsel town rebellion band
From downtown hollywood

Tinsel town rebellion, tinsel town rebellion band
It's a little bitty tinsel town rebellion
A tinsel town rebellion band

They used to play all kinds of stuff
And some of it was nice
Some of it was musical
But then they took some guy's advice
To get a record deal, he said,
They would have to be more punk
Forget their chops and play real dumb
Or else they would be sunk
So off they go to s.i.r. to learn some stupid riffs
And practice all their poses
In between their powder sniffs

Chop a line now, snort it up now
And when they think they've got it
They launch a new career
Who gives a frell if what they play
Is somewhat insincere

Tinsel town rebellion, tinsel town rebellion band
A tinsel town rebellion,
A tinsel town rebellion band
Did you know that in tinsel town the people down there
Think that substance is a bore
And if your new wave group looks good
They'll hurry on back for more
Of leather groups and plastic groups
And groups that look real queer
The tinsel town aficionados
Come to see and not to hear
But then again this system works
As perfect as a dream
It works for all of those record company pricks
Who come to skim the cream
From the cesspools of excitement
Where jim morrison once stood
It's the tinsel town rebellion
From downtown hollywood

Is everybody happy?
Oh never mind!
No problem!

[moonglum]

The Last Resort ~ The Eagles

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine,
She's the only one that'll sound that way.

See the ol' smoke risin' round the bend,

Folks around these parts get the time o' day
From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

Here she comes!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Hey, Jim! yuh better git the rig!

All the way to Cal-i-forn-i-ay

Oh, the roads back east are mighty swell,
The Chesapeake, Ohio and the ASL,
But I make my run and I make my pay
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.

Goin' back and forth along these aisles,
My land, you must've walked about a million miles.
It's a treat to be on your feet all day
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.

Here we come!

But if you get a hankerin', you wanna roam

They're passin' round the bottle
And they're gettin' good and juiced
B.g.'s winin' dinin' checkin' talent at the club
Skippers hauntin' second lookin' forward to his rub
The busters from the country
And the hitters from the shop
Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop

Someone bring the records
Someone get the brew
Someone get a house
Buddy we'll know what to do
Someone tell the ladies
Someone make a deal
If we can't find a house
Then someone better find a field

Grass is good as carpet
Anyplace is fine
Its time to get to rockin'
Babe it's time to make it shine
Tell 'em we'll be dancin'
Dancin' till we drop
It's time to get down and do the horizontal bop

Theyre fillin' up the corners
Theyre fillin' up the streets
You can feel the tension
You can almost feel the heat
The music's gettin' louder
The beat's gittin' fast
Summers finally made it
Yeah its finally here at last

The pony cars are cruisin' on Woodward Avenue
Go and try to pass'em
They'll smoke you if you do
The whole town's shakin' from the bottom to the top

Papa Was a Rolling Stone Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Temptations



It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, some bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills.
Hey Mama, folks say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

All this time
I been making deals
Shades of black and white
On a hollywood reel
All this time
I been missing
Something so real, so real
All this time
I been a face in the crowd
Now I'm living in color
And laughing out loud
All these names
For just fooling aound
It's a new breakthrough
It's an old breakdown

We smoked a lot of hope
We did our cryin' too
We're finally waking up
To what real love can do
Oh, down a lost highway
Under the twilight moon

Hollywood Seven ~ Dennis Waterman

She came in one night from Omaha, worn out
She never could sleep on trains, took the bus to Hollywood
Lookin' for a room in the pourin' rain
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown
She thought she'd take this town and turn it upside down

And me, I was livin' in a hotel just off Sunset
She moved in across the hall
And she said she'd be a movie star
And waited every mornin' for a call
So I asked her in just to have a little drink
but she hardly had the time
A call might come tomorrow, she got to learn her lines

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights
Woh-oh, Hollywood Seven, dream your dream -
seven bucks a night

And then the months went by without a job
The money that she saved was nearly spent
So she started bringin' strangers home
Just tryin' to find a way to pay the rent
And she'd sit down and drink my coffee,
got nothin' much to say
Just busy rehearsin' in her mind the scene she'd never play

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights
Woh-oh, Hollywood Seven,
dream your dreams for seven bucks a night

I found her there one mornin'
She didn't come for coffee when I called
She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time
There were crazy lipstick marks all over the wall
Now she's goin' back to Omaha
but not the way she'd planned
There'll be no crowd to cheer her on,
no welcome home, no band

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dream your dream
for seven bucks a night

She came in one night from Syracuse,
tired from sleepin' o-on the plane
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreamin' of the lights,
that would spell her name
So I watched her take the lease
on the empty room across the hall
Wakin' up every mornin', waitin' for that call

On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name go-oes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dreamin' your dream -
seven bucks a night
On Hollywood Seven, dreams to rent,
till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, pay your dues -
seven bucks a night

Next word.......................Lights

GEORGE BENSON - ON BROADWAY

THEY SAY THE NEON LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT ON BROADWAY
THEY SAY THERE'S ALWAYS MAGIC IN THE AIR
BUT WHEN YOU'RE WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET
AND YOU AIN'T HAD ENOUGH TO EAT
THE GLITTER RUBS RIGHT OFF AND YOU'RE NOWHERE

THEY SAY THE WOMEN TREAT YOU FINE ON BROADWAY
BUT LOOKIN' AT THEM JUST GIVES ME THE BLUES
'CAUSE HOW YA GONNA MAKE SOME TIME
WHEN ALL YOU GOT IS ONE THIN DIME
AND ONE THIN DIME WON'T EVEN SHINE YOUR SHOES


THEY SAY THAT I WON'T LAST TOO LONG ON BROADWAY
I'LL CATCH A GREY HOUND BUS FOR HOME THEY ALL SAY
BUT THEY'RE DEAD WRONG I KNOW THEY ARE
'CAUSE I CAN PLAY THIS HERE GUITAR
AND I WON'T QUIT TILL I'M A STAR ON BROADWAY

NEXT WORD GLITTER

[Siren]

Saw your picture on a poster in a CAFE out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home

She still asks about you all the time
But I guess we never even cross your mind

But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins with the sunlight in your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me, I've come to know
Everything that GLITTERs is not gold

from "Everything That Glitters" by Dan Seals

Waste The Day ~ Heather Nova

The streets are all busy
And we're still in bed
We should be up working
But we're lying here instead
I look outside, the weather's fine
For playing music, and drinking wine

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day, with you

Let's walk to the cafe
And sit in the sun
And read all the papers
And watch everyone
Cause life is short, and life is sweet
And sometimes you've just got to set yourself free

next word: PAPERS

Yesterdays Papers ~ The Rolling Stones

Who wants yesterdays papers
Who wants yesterdays
girl
Who wants yesterdays papers
Nobody in the world

After this
time I finally learned
After the pain and hurt
After all this what have I
achieved
I've realized it's time to leave

Cause
Cho wants
yesterdays papers
Who wants yesterdays girl
Who wants yesterdays
papers
Nobody in the world

Living a life of constant change
Every
day means the turn of a page
Yesterdays papers are such bad news
Same
thing applies to me and you

Who wants yesterdays papers
Who wants
yesterdays girl
Who wants yesterdays papers
Nobody in the
world

Seems very hard to have just one girl
When there's a million in
the world
All of these people just can't wait
To fall right into their
big mistake

Who wants yesterdays papers
Who wants yesterdays
girl
Who wants yesterdays papers
Nobody in the world

Next word..............Mistake

[Siren]

A couple inches taller
Another size smaller
A little curl in my hair
Used to wish I was older
Now I wish I was younger
Back when I didn't have a care
Most of the time I am happy with what God gave me
Once in a while I wish that some MIRACLE would change me

I'm ok with the way God made me
I have my days, but doesn't everybody
It's not always easy for me to believe in myself
But I gotta remember
I'm always gonna be a better me than anyone else
And God doesn't make MISTAKEs

from "God Doesn't Make Mistakes" by Carolyn Dawn Johnson
