THE KINKS lyrics - "Sunny Afternoon"

The tax man's taken all my dough,

And left me in my stately home,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

And I can't sail my yacht,

He's taken everything I've got,

All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.

I got a big fat mama trying to break me.

And I love to live so pleasantly,

Live this life of luxury,


In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,

And gone back to her ma and pa,

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.

Now I'm sitting here,

Sipping at my ice cold beer,


Help me, help me, help me sail away,

Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.

'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,



In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.

I got a big fat mama trying to break me.

And I love to live so pleasantly,



In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertimeGimme Gimme Good Lovin'

The Crazy Elephant

From Atlanta, Georgia to the Gulf Stream water

To California I'm gonna spend my life both night and day

Say gimme, gimme good lovin' every night

Hey you know it's alright child

Gimme, gimme good lovin' make it alright

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

To the girls in Frisco to the girls in New York

To the girls in Texican you gotta understand

That baby I'm your man

I say gimme, gimme good lovin' every night

Yeh you know it's alright now

Gimme, gimme good lovin' make it alright

Ha, ha, ha, ha, haZombies, The - Summertime

Its summertime

And the living is easy

The bees are jumping

And the cotton is high

Your daddys rich

And your mammas good looking

Would you hush pretty baby

Dont you cry

One of these mornings

Youre going to wake up singing

There youre going to spread wings

And take to the sky

But till that morning

Aint nothing, nothing going to harm you

With your mommy and daddy

There standing by

Its summertime

And the living is easy

The bees are jumping

And the cotton is high

Your daddys rich

And your mammas good looking

Would you hush pretty baby

Dont you cry Nights in white satin Moody Blues

Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end

Letters Ive written

Never meaning to send

Beauty Ive always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I cant say anymore

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

I love you

Gazing at people

Some hand in hand

Just what Im going through

They cant understand

Some try to tell me

Thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be

You will be in the end

And I love you

Yes I love you

I love you

I love you

Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end

Letters Ive written

Never meaning to send

Beauty Ive always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I cant say anymore

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

I love you

I love you

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

I love you

I love you

Breathe deep the gathering gloom

Watch lights fade from every room

Bedsitter people look back and lament

Another day's useless energy is spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one

Lonely man cries for love and has none

New mother picks up and suckles her son

Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colours from our sight

Red is grey and yellow white

But we decide which is right

And which is an illusionCalifornia Dreaming The Mamas and The PapasAll the leaves are brown and the sky is gray I've been for a walk on a winter's day I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A. California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray You know the preacher liked the cold He knows I'm gonna stay California dreamin' on such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray I've been for a walk on a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreamin' on such a winter's day California dreamin' on such a winter's day California dreamin' on such a winter's dayI'd Love To Change The World Ten Years After

Everywhere is freaks and hairies

Dykes and fairies

Tell me where is sanity

Tax the rich, feed the poor

'Til there are no rich no more

Id love to change the world

But I dont know what to do

So Ill leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding

Nation bleeding

Still more feeding economy

Life is funny, skies are sunny

Bees make honey

Who needs money, monopoly



So Ill leave it up to you

Oh, yeah

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

World pollution, theres no solution

Institution, electrocution

Just black or white, rich or poor

Them and us, stop the war



So Ill leave it up to youIm a Man Spencer Davis GroupWell my pad is very messy

And theres whiskers on my chin

And Im all hung up on music

And I always play to win

I aint got no time for lovin

Cause my time is all used up

Just to sit around creatin

All that groovy kind of stuff.

Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so

Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so.

Well if I had my choice of matter

I would rather be with cats

All engrossed in mental chatter

Moving where our minds are at

And relating to each other

Just how strong our wills can be

Im resisting all involvement

With each groovy chick we see

Well Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so

Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so.

I got to keep my image

While suspended from a throne

That looks out upon a kingdom

Full of people all unknown

Who imagine Im not human

And my heart is made of stone

I never had no problems

And my toilets trimmed with chrome

Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so.

Im a man

Yes I am

And I cant help

But love you so.

Born To Be Wild Steppenwolf

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under





Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

PINK FLOYD lyrics - "Wish You Were Here"

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.PINK FLOYD lyrics - "High Hopes"

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

In a world of magnets and miracles

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway

Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

With friends surrounded

The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

Dragged by force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist growing

The water flowing

The endless river

JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - "Summertime"

Summertime, time, time,

Child, the living's easy.

Fish are jumping out

And the cotton, Lord,

Cotton's high, Lord, so high.

Your daddy's rich

And your ma is so good-looking, baby.

She's looking good now,

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

No, no, no, no, don't you cry.

Don't you cry!

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise, rise up singing,

You're gonna spread your wings,

Child, and take, take to the sky,

Lord, the sky.

Until that morning

Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Don't you cry,

Cry.JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - "Kozmic Blues"

Time keeps movin' on,

Friends they turn away.

I keep movin' on

But I never found out why

I keep pushing so hard the dream,

I keep tryin' to make it right

Through another lonely day, whoaa.

Dawn has come at last,

Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.

Well, I'm twenty-five years older now

So I know we can't be right

And I'm no better, baby,

And I can't help you no more

Than I did when just a girl.

Aww, but it don't make no difference, baby, no, no,

And I know that I could always try.

It don't make no difference, baby, yeah,

I better hold it now,

I better need it, yeah,

I better use it till the day I die, whoa.

Don't expect any answers, dear,

For I know that they don't come with age, no, no.

Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe.

And I'm never gonna love you right,

So you'd better take it now, right now.

Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey,

And I know that I could always try.

There's a fire inside everyone of us,

You'd better need it now,

I got to hold it, yeah,

I better use it till the day I die.

Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no,

And it never ever will, hey,

I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah,

I got to hold it, baby,

I'm gonna need it now,

I'm gonna use it, say, aaaah,

Don't make no difference, babe, yeah,

Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one.

I said you're gonna live your life

And you're gonna love your life

Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry.

Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed,

Ah, baby, yes indeed.

I said you, you're always gonna hurt me,

I said you're always gonna let me down,

I said everywhere, every day, every day

And every way, every way.

Ah honey won't you hold on to what's gonna move.

I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back.

I said you know it ain't gonna be there

When you wanna reach out and grab on.

Whoa babe,

Whoa babe,

Whoa babe,

Oh but keep truckin' on.

Whoa yeah,

Whoa yeah,

Whoa yeah,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa ...THE DOORS lyrics - "Hello, I Love You"

Hello, I love you

Won't you tell me your name?

Hello, I love you

Let me jump in your game

Hello, I love you


Hello, I love you


She's walking down the street

Blind to every eye she meets

Do you think you'll be the guy

To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you


Hello, I love you


Hello, I love you


Hello, I love you


She holds her head so high

Like a statue in the sky

Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long

When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet

Like a dog that begs for something sweet

Do you hope to make her see, you fool?

Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

I want you

Hello

I need my baby

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

THE DOORS lyrics - "The Crystal Ship"

Before you slip into unconsciousness

I'd like to have another kiss

Another flashing chance at bliss

Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain

Enclose me in your gentle rain

The time you ran was too insane

We'll meet again, we'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies

The streets are fields that never die

Deliver me from reasons why

You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled

A thousand girls, a thousand thrills

A million ways to spend your time

When we get back, I'll drop a line

THE DOORS lyrics - "Blue Sunday"

I found my own true love was on a blue Sunday

She looked at me and told me

I was the only one in the world

Now I have found my girl

My girl awaits for me in tender time

My girl is mine, she is the world

She is my girl

La, la, la, la

My girl awaits for me in tender time

My girl is mine, she is the world

She is my girlTHE DOORS lyrics - "An American Prayer / Hour For Magic / Freedom Exists / A Feast Of Friends"Do you know the warm progress

Under the stars?

Do you know we exist?

Have you forgotten the keys

To the kingdom

Have you been borne yet

& are you alive?

Let's reinvent the gods, all teh myths

Of the ages

Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests

[Have you forgotten the lessons

Of the ancient war]

We need great golden copulations

The fathers are cackling in trees

Of the forest

Our mother is dead in the sea

Do you know we are being led to

Slaughters by placid admirals

& that fat slow generals are getting

Obscene on young blood

Do you know we are ruled by T.V.

The moon is dry blood beast

Guerrilla bands are rolling numbers

In the next block of green vine

Amassing for warfare on innocent

Herdsman who are just dying

O great creator of being

Grant us one more hour to

Perform our art

& perfect our lives

The moths & atheists are doubly divine

& dying

We live, we die

& death not ends it

Journey we more into the

Nightmare

Cling to life

Our passion'd flower

Cling to Cunts & cocks

Of despair

We got our final vision

By clap

Columbus groin got

Filled w/green death

(I touched her thigh

& death smiled)

We have assembled inside this ancient

& insane theatre

To propagate our lust for life

& flee the swarming wisdom

Of the streets

The barns are stormed

The windows kept

& only one of all the rest

To dance & save us

W/the divine mockery

Of words

Music inflames temperament

(When the true King's murderers

Are allowed to roam free

A 1000 Magicians arise in the land)

Where are the feasts

We are promised

Where is the wine

The New Wine

(dying on the vine)

Resident mockery

Give us an hour for magic

We of the purple glove

We of the starling flight

& velvet hour

We of arabic pleasures's breed

We of sundome & the night

Give us a creed

To believe

A nightr of lust

Give us trust in

The Night

Give of color

Hundred hues

A rich mandala

For me & for you

& for your silky

Pillowed house

A head, wisdom

& a bed

Troubled decree

Resident mockery

Has claimed thee

We used to believe

In the good old days

We still receive

In little ways

The things of Kindness

& unsporting brow

Forget & allow

Did you know freedom exists

In school books

Did you know madmen are

Running our prisons

W/in a jail, w/in a gaol

W/in a white free protestant

Maelstrom

We're perched headlong

On the edge of boredom

We're reaching for death

On the end of a candle

We're trying for something

That's already found us

Wow, I'm sick of doubt

Live in the light of certain

South

Cruel bindings

The sevants have the power

Dog-men & their mean women

Pulling poor blankets over

Our sailors

I'm sick of dour faces

Starong at me from the T.V.

Tower, I want roses in

My garden bower; dig?

Royal babies, rubies

Must now replace aborted

Strangers in the mud

These mutants, blood-meal

For the plant that's plowed

They are waiting to take us into

The severed garden

Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful

Comes death on a stranger hour

Unannounced, unplanned for

Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've

Brought to bed

Death makes angels of us all

& gives us wings

Where we had shoulders

Smooth as raven's

Claws

No more money, no more fancy dress

This other kingdom seems by far the best

Until its other jaw reveals incest

& loose obedience to a vegetable law

I will not go

Prefer a feast of friends

To the Giant familyTHE ANIMALS lyrics - "The House Of The Rising Sun"

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new bluejeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

[Organ Solo]

Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm oneGRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - "The Railroad"

Up each morning at five o'clock,

Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.

The work is hard in a railroad yard,

Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card.

Workin' on the railroad.

CHORUS

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,

Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.



Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back,


Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.


I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,


And with God we've been working, all hand in hand.


CHORUS






Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - "Into The Sun"

Rising, setting, been trying to get into the sun yeah

Wanting, getting, gonna' get more baby when I'm done

All my life I had been waiting, then you turn me on

Now there'll be no hesitating, I'm getting into the sun

Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah

Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away

Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid

I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paid

Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah

Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away

Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid

I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paidGRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - "Heartbreaker"

Once I had a little girl

Sometimes I think about her

But you know she's not really there

When memories do call

I just, I just can't live without her

But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear

Heartbreaker, can't take her

Heartbreaker is bringing me down


Heartbreaker, bringing me down

I don't cry no more

I live while I'm flying

But I'll think back

And you can hear me say:










Heartbreaker, bringing me doWn






Heartbreaker, bringing me downSHOCKING BLUE lyrics - "Never Marry A Railroad Man"

Have you been broken-hearted once or twice

If it's yes how did you feel at his first lies

If it's no you need this good advice

REFRAIN:

Never marry a Railroad man

He loves you every now and then

His heart is at his new train. No, no , no

Don't fall in love with a Railroad man

If you do forget him if you can

You're better off without him ah...

Have you ever been restless in your bed

And so lonely that your eyes became wet

Let me tell you then one thing mmm...

REFRAINCHICAGO lyrics - "Listen"

Listen,

If you think that we're here for the money

You couldn't be right, you know(owowow)

But the bread is not too good here

It could be so natural

I said all you got to do is listen

Listen,

If you don't hear what you can tell us

If it's good you can tell us all

Or you can smile, that's alright my friend

It could be so nice, you know

If only you would listen

Listen,

If you don't understand it, no no no no

You got to try to fly

And don't you put me down, please

For creating beyond your mind

I said all you got to do is listen

CHICAGO lyrics - "25 Or 6 To 4"

(R. Lamm)

Waiting for the break of day

Searching for something to say

Flashing lights against the sky

Giving up I close my eyes

Sitting cross-legged on the floor

25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space

Getting up to splash my face

Wanting just to stay awake

Wondering how much I can take

Should I try to do some more

25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep

Spinning room is sinking deep

Searching for something to say

Waiting for the break of day

25 or 6 to 4

25 or 6 to 4

You got a thing about you

I just can't live without you

I really want you, Elenore, near me

Your looks intoxicate me

Even though your folks hate me

There's no one like you, Elenore, really

[Chorus:]

Elenore, gee I think you're swell

And you really do me well

You're my pride and joy, et cetera

Elenore, can I take the time

To ask you to speak your mind

Tell me that you love me better

I really think you're groovy

What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?

They'll turn the lights way down low

Maybe we won't watch the show

I think I love you, Elenore, love me

[Chorus:]

And you really do me well

You're my pride and joy, et cetera

To ask you to speak your mind

Tell me that you love me better

Elenore, gee I think you're swell ah-hah

HahTHE BOX TOPS lyrics - "The Letter"

(Wayne Carson Thompson)

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane

Ain't got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home

My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend

Got to get back to baby again



Well, she wrote me a letter

Said she couldn't live without me no more

Listen mister, can't you see I got to get back

To my baby once-a more

Anyway, yeah!





Well, she wrote me a letter

Said she couldn't live without me no more

Listen mister, can't you see I got to get back

To my baby once-a more

Anyway, yeah!





My baby, just-a wrote me a letterSeasons In The SunTerry Jacks

Goodbye to you my trusted friend

We've known each other since we were nine or ten

Together we've climbed hills and trees

Learned of love and ABC's

Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die

When all the bird's are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Pretty girls are everywhere

Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun

We had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed

Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

You tried to teach me right from wrong

Too much wine and too much song

Wonder how I got along

Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky


Little children everywhere

When you see them I'll be there



But the wine and the song

Like the seasons have all gone





Goodbye Michelle, my little one

You gave me love and helped me find the sun

And every time when I was down

You would always come around

And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky


With the flowers everywhere

I wish that we could both be there



But the stars we could reach

Were just starfish on the beach



But the stars we could reach

Were just starfish on the beach





All our lives we had fun


But the hills that we climbed

Were just seasons out of time

THE CURE lyrics - "Lovesong"

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am home again


You make me feel like I am whole again


You make me feel like I am young again


You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away

I will always love you

However long I stay


Whatever words I say




You make me feel like I am free again


You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away


However long I stay


Whatever words I say



CREAM lyrics - "I'm So Glad"

(Skip James)

I'm so glad, I'm so glad

I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad



I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do

I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of moaning, I'm tired of crying for you





I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of moaning, I'm tired of groaning for you

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do





(Chorus repeated 5 times)CREAM lyrics - "White Room"

(Jack Bruce and Pete Brown)

In the white room with black curtains near the station.

Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.

Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.

Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.

I walked into such a sad time at the station.

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.

he's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - "Somebody To Love"

(Darby Slick)

When the truth is found to be lies

and all the joys within you dies

don't you want somebody to love

don't you need somebody to love

wouldn't you love somebody to love

you better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes

and your mind is full of red





your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his

but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is





tears are running ah running down your breast

and your friends baby they treat you like a guest




you better find somebody to loveJEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - "White Rabbit"

(G. Slick)

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small,

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all.

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall,

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call.

Call Alice

When she was just small.

When the men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low.

Go ask Alice

I think she'll know.

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead,

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Remember what the dormouse said:

"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"IRON BUTTERFLY lyrics - "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,

Don't you know that I love you?

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,

Don't you know that I'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me

And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me

And walk this land?

Please take my hand!

[Repeat]

[Solos]

[Repeat]DONOVAN lyrics - "Hurdy Gurdy Man"

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep

I open my eyes to take a peep

To find that I was by the sea

Gazing with tranquillity.

'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

Came singing songs of love,

Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

Came singing songs of love.

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.



Histories of ages past

Unenlightened shadows cast

Down through all eternity

The crying of humanity.

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

Comes singing songs of love,

Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

Comes singing songs of love.


Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy.



Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,

Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang,

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang

CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - "Wooden Ships"

(David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner)

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]

Stills: If you smile at me I will understand

'Cause that is something

Everybody everywhere does in the same language

Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side

There's just one thing I got to know

Can you tell me please who won?

Stills: Say can I have some of your purple berries?

Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them

For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once

Stills: Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy

Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be

Silver people on the shoreline let us be

Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Horror grips us as we watch you die

All we can do is echo your anguished cries

Stare as all human feelings die

We are leaving, you don't need us


Aaaah ...

Go take your sister then by the hand

Lead her away from this foreign land

Far away where we might laugh again

We are leaving, you don't need us


And it's a fair wind

Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder

Guess I'll set a course and go

[Ending (Electric Guitar and Organ)]

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - "Venus"

A Goddess on a mountain top

Was burning like a silver flame

The summit of Beauty in love

And Venus was her name

REFRAIN:

She's got it yeah, Baby, she's got it

Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

At your desire

Her weapon were her crystal eyes

Making every man mad

Black as the dark night she was

Got what no-one else had

Wa!

REFRAINCHICAGO lyrics - "Questions 67 And 68"

Can this feeling that we have together

Oooh, Suddenly exist between

Did this meeting of our minds together

Oooh, Happen just today, somewhere

I'd like to know,

Can you tell me -- please don't tell me

It really doesn't matter anyhow

It's just that the thought of us so happy

Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing

Was your image in my mind so deeply

Was your image in my mind so deeply

Oooh, other places fade away

blocking memories of unhappy hours

Oooh, Leavin' just a burnin' love

I'd like to know,

I'd like to know,





Yes it does now baby

Can this lovin' we have found within us

Oooh, Suddenly exist between

Did we somehow try to make it happen

Oooh, Was it just a natural thing

I'd like to know,





Yes it does now baby

Questions 67 and 68.

SCOTT MCKENZIE lyrics - "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)"

If you're going to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you're going to San Francisco

You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

In the streets of San Francisco

Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration

People in motion

There's a whole generation with a new explanation

People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you come to San Francisco


If you come to San Francisco


SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - "The Sound Of Silence"

Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of

a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one deared

Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you."

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.

And the signs said, The words of the prophets

are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls.

And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.STEPPENWOLF lyrics - "Born To Be Wild"

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way





I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under





Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS lyrics - "Crimson And Clover"

(Tommy James and Peter Lucia)

Ah

Well if she come walkin' over

Now I been waitin' to show her

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Yeah

My mind's such a sweet thing

I wanna do everything

What a beautiful feeling

Crimson and clover

Over and over


Crimson and clover, over and over

"Hanky Panky"

My baby does the hanky panky

I saw her walking on down the line,

you know I saw her for the very first time,

a pretty little girl standing all alone,

hey, pretty baby, can I take you home

I never saw her, never ever saw her.

My baby does the hanky panky

THE TROGGS lyrics - "Wild Thing"

THE TURTLES lyrics - "Happy Together"

Imagine me and you, I do

I think about you day and night, it's only right

To think about the girl you love and hold her tight

So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life




So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba ba, ba-ba ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba ba, ba-ba ba




So happy together

So happy together

And how is the weather

So happy together

We're happy together

So happy together

Happy together

So happy together

So happy together

(Nilsson)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Two can be as bad as one

It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know

Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know

'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since you went away

Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number

One is the loneliest number


One is the loneliest

One is the loneliest


It's just no good anymore since you went away

(number)

One is the loneliest (number)



(number)

One...! (one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do)

(number)


(number)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever doSTORIES lyrics - "Brother Louie"

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 Lou-I

Louie Louie Louie


[Instrumental Interlude]

BEACH BOYS lyrics - "Surfin' USA"

(Chuck Berry/Brian Wilson)

If everybody had an ocean

Across the U. S. A.

Then everybody'd be surfin'

Like Californi-a

You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies

Huarachi sandals too

A bushy bushy blonde hairdo

Surfin' U. S. A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar

Ventura County line

Santa Cruz and Trestle

Australia's Narrabeen

All over Manhattan

And down Doheny Way

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning that route

We're gonna take real soon

We're waxing down our surfboards

We can't wait for June

We'll all be gone for the summer

We're on surfari to stay

Tell the teacher we're surfin'

Surfin' U. S. A.

Haggerties and Swamies

Pacific Palisades

San Onofre and Sunset

Redondo Beach L. A.

All over La Jolla

At Wa'imea Bay.

AEROSMITH lyrics - "Dream On" every time that I look in the mirror

all these lines on my face getting clearer

the past is gone

it went by like dusk to dawn

isn't that the way

everybody's got their dues in life to pay

yeah, I know nobody knows

where it comes and where it goes

I know it's everybody's sin

you got to lose to know how to win

half my life's in books' written pages

live and learn from fools and from sages

you know it's true

all the things come back to you

sing with me, sing for the years

sing for the laughter and sing for the tears

sing with me, if it's just for today

maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

dream on, dream on, dream on,

dream yourself a dream come true

dream on, dream on, dream on,

and dream until your dream comes true

dream on [7x]Rare Earth

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - "Run Run Run"

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave

I sold my soul, must be saved

Gonna take a walk down to Union Square

You never know who you're gonna find there

You gotta run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Marguerita Passion had to get her fix

She wasn't well, she was getting sick

Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high

Didn't know, thinks she could buy it

And she would run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two


Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose

Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed

They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene

She had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two


Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Beardless Harry, what a waste

Couldn't even get a small-town taste

Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven

Figured he was good to get himself to heaven

'Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two


Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - "Heroin"

I don't know just where I'm going

But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can

'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man

When I put a spike into my vein

And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same

When I'm rushing on my run

And I feel just like Jesus' son

And I guess that I just don't know


I have made the big decision

I'm gonna try to nullify my life

'Cause when the blood begins to flow

When it shoots up the dropper's neck

When I'm closing in on death

And you can't help me now, you guys

And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

You can all go take a walk



I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas

On a great big clipper ship

Going from this land here to that

In a sailor's suit and cap

Away from the big city

Where a man can not be free

Of all of the evils of this town

And of himself, and those around

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me

Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life

Because a mainer to my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then I'm better off and dead

Because when the smack begins to flow

I really don't care anymore

About all the Jim-Jim's in this town

And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds

And everybody puttin' everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

'Cause when the smack begins to flow

Then I really don't care anymore

Ah, when the heroin is in my blood

And that blood is in my head

Then thank God that I'm as good as dead

Then thank your God that I'm not aware

And thank God that I just don't care

And I guess I just don't know

And I guess I just don't knowD.O.A. Bloodrock

I remember

We were flying along

And hit something in the air

Laying here looking at the ceiling

Someone lays a sheet across my chest

Something warm is flowing down my fingers

Pain is flowing all through my back

I try to move my arms and there's no feeling

And when I look I see there's nothing there

The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding

The girl I knew has such a distant stare

I remember



I remember



Then I looked straight at the attendant

His face is pale as it can be

He bends and whispers something softly

He says there's no chance for me

I remember



I remember



Life is flowing out my body

Pain is flowing out with my blood

The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying

God in Heaven, teach me how to die

I remember



I remember



I Love You People

I love you, I love you, I love you

Yes, I do but the words won't come

And I don't know what to say

I should tell you I love you, I do

The words should explain but the words won't come

I shouldn't hide my love deep inside


I should tell you just how I feel and I keep try-y-y-in

But something holds me back when I try to tell you


Yes, I do-o-o






If you could see what you mean to me


And oh, how hard I try to tell you I lo-o-ove you



Yes, I do-o-o



And I dont know what to say, yeah

------Instrumental Interlude ------

I should tell you I love you, I do




And oh, how hard I try to tell you I lo-o-ove you



Yes, I do-o-o




I love you

She's Not There[Written by Rod Argent]

Well no one told me about her, the way she lied

Well no one told me about her, how many people cried

But it's too late to say you're sorry

How would I know, why should I care

Please don't bother tryin' to find her

She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked

The way she'd act and the colour of her hair

Her voice was soft and cool

Her eyes were clear and bright

But she's not there

Well no one told me about her, what could I do

Well no one told me about her, though they all knew




She's not there





But she's not there

She's not there





But she's not thereBlue Cheer Summertime Blues [Written by E Cochran and J Capeheart]

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date

My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money"

If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday

Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick

"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"



I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa"

"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
