Paul McCartney - (I Want to) Come Home

Paul McCartney - (I Want to Come Home)

For so long, I was out in the cold
And I taught myself to believe every story I told
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
but it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

Came so close, to the edge of defeat
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat
It was fun shooting out at the stars, looking into the sun
But it's been to long,
Now i want to come home

Home, where there's nothing but, sweet surrender
To the memories from afar
Home, to the place where the truth lies waiting
We remember who we are

For too long, I was out on my own
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

For so long, I was out in the cold
But I taught myself to believe every story I've told
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But its been too long,
Now I want to come home

Yeah it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

Been too long . . .
Now I want to come home

(McCartney)

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me.

Roxy Music - Love Is the Drug

Roxy Music - Love Is the Drug
Architecture in Helsinki - Love Is the Drug [Live]

T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell

Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh get that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh

Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Love is, love is, love is the drug

John Lennon - Woman

John Lennon - Woman

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try to express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo...

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Well...

Woman please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again...

I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah yeah...

Paul McCartney - Mister Bellamy

Paul McCartney - Mister Bellamy

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here
Without you

All right Mr. Bellamy
We'll have you down soon

No one to tell me what to do
No one to hold my hand
Bellamy's got a lot to do
And I hope that you'll understand

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him
Here we go

I'm not coming down
No matter what you say
I like it up here
Anyway

Sit tight Mr. Bellamy
This shouldn't take long

In a delusionary state
No wonder he's been feeling strange of late

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him
Here we go
Here we go

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here
Without you

Come come, come come, come down to me
Come come, come

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

Rufus Wainwright - Between My Legs

Rufus Wainwright - Between My Legs

You can go out, dancing
And I'll write about you, dancing without you
And I'll shed a tear between my legs

When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs

Though we live in the same city,
You live in another state far away from me and all of my unfaded charms
But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening

Again, I'm afraid of one thing,
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing, wearing my heart between my legs?
But when I know you're naked, lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
All I can say is I can't fake it

When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening again
'Cause there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea,
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
On which from this city we can flee

Locomondo - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You

Locomondo - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You

Everywhere around the world, "I love you", it means the same
Every day and every night only you can touch my flame
So take my heart, take my soul, everything of me
Everywhere you go, my baby, even Italy

Non devi essere speciale, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale
Lo puoi dire come vuoi, sei da solo, con i tuoi (Guagliò)
E qui non esistono frontiere, l'amore non ha barriere
In città o in campagna, lo stesso in Spagna (Señorita)

Por todo el mundo, "te quiero" es lo mismo
Cada día y cada noche solo tú me das amor (¡Arriba!)
Aquí está mi sol, te lo doy, todo lo que soy
Si te vas, te buscaré en Rusia se (Locomondo)

Где-то там, кто-то там, тебя любит, не забудь
Скажи да любимая, люби, люби ты меня
Где бы ты не находилась, где б не побывала
Буду ждать, любимая, сегодня и всегда

Mademoiselle, partout au monde, un "je t'aime", c'est la même chose
Chaque jour, chaque nuit, toi, tu reste ma seule rose
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie (Vas-y)
Appelle-moi où que tu sois, même en Roumanie (Yo)

Undeva cineva te iubeste, nu uita
Spune da, iubita mea, stii cum e cu dragostea
Oriunde ai fi, oricat ai sta, te voi astepta
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta

Everywhere around the world, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale
Cada dia y cada noche, люби, люби ты меня
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta (Ho... hey, hey)

Everywhere around the world, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale (Hey)
Cada dia y cada noche, люби, люби ты меня (Hey)
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie (Hey)
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta (Hey)

¡Ole! ¡Arriba! (Hey)
Locomondo (Hey)
Everybody, viva l'amore (Hey)
Sing with me baby, ?? (Hey)

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive 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 whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Mika - Grace Kelly



( - I wanna talk to you.
- The last time we talked Mr Smiths, you reduced me to tears. I promise it won't happen again
.)*

Do I attract you
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile
Am I too dirty
Am I too flirty
Do I like what you like

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me without making me try

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you walk out the door

( - Getting angry doesn't solve anything.)

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself
Should I bend over
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

( - xxx, we're leaving.)**



* Are these right? I've typed as i hear.
** I don't get what she says. If you do, please let me know.
*** Mika, i guess i've fallen in love with you.

The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere



To lead a better life I need my love to be here..

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

Seal - Kiss from a Rose



There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
