Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky I closed my eyes to look for something Saw myself as really nothing Then I realised my butterfly Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my butterfly Riding on a long blue paperplane Getting seasick, sorry once again Landing strip is getting nearer Hope the foglifts, make it clearer Then I realised my paperplane Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my paperplane Riding in a three grand Deutche car A to B is often very far Home is near, but such a long way Legs and heads all feel the wrong way Then I realised my Deutche car Is only there to get me somewhere Even so I really do care Would you like to ride my Deutche car Rossi / Young |

Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car I asked no questions, I got no lies A one off winner, I didn't want any ties And I knew it wasn't right Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower She stopped the motor by her own front door I knew she'd done it so many times before But I was off of the floor But everybody has to sometimes break the rules I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down 'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town Then I saw the face from the night before My purse was empty lying there on the floor But like I told you before That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool But everybody has to sometimes break the rules Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules |

Once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?- |

Mama died and my daddy got drunk Left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road I grew up in a dusty shack And all I had was a'hangin' on my back Only you know how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road But it's home The only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace from above Save some money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring dynamite and a crane Blow it up, start all over again Build a town, be proud to show Give the name Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I've ever known I despise you 'cause your filthy But I love ya, 'cause it's home ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By WINTER, EDGAR <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

I've been on tenterhooks
Ending in dirty looks, Listen to the muzak, Thinking 'bout this 'n' that. She said that's that. I don't want to chitter-chat. Turn it down a little bit Or turn it down flat. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Down in the pleasure center, Hell bent or heaven sent, Listen to the propaganda, Listen to the latest slander. There's nothing underhand That she wouldn't understand. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. She's been a bad girl. She's like a chemical. Though you try to stop it, She's like a narcotic. You want to torture her. You want to talk to her. All the things you bought for her, Putting up your temperature. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. Out in the fashion show, Down in the bargain bin, You put your passion out Under the pressure pin. Fall into submission, Hit-and-run transmission. No use wishing now for any other sin. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it. You don't really need it You don't really need it You don't really need it ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By ELVIS COSTELLO (A/K/A: DECLAN MAC MANUS) <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

It's so long since I sang songs for you
I forget all the words I once knew I could look back but I can't waste the time Did it matter they sometimes didn't rhyme? It's so long since I sang songs for you It's so long since you smiled just for me Now your smile's just an old used-to-be Does it matter that I can't take the time? Would you rather I write you one more line? Can my songs once again be for you? Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my own With Claudie is the place I long to be When I left, did you think of me crying? Did you care that I felt I was dying? I pretended that I don't give a damn All along I've known what I really am I'm a fool little Claudie just for you Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my own With Claudie is the place I long to be |

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall I tried to find a reason for living But I couldn't find a reason at all So I owned up to my maker And I started to say a prayer I waited for an answer But there wasn't anybody there I thought there should have been someone But I wasn't quite sure who It finished me to find there was no-one That I could take my troubles to So I knelt down by my bedside And I started to say a prayer It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there I'm looking still, but it's easy 'cos I know which way to go It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'cos there's someone there to help me who knows All the things that I am after All the loving that I want to share It's so hard but I don't mind 'cos there really is somebody there I felt in need of some loving So I sat down on a wall I tried to find a reason for living But I couldn't find a reason at all So I owned up to my maker And I started to say a prayer I waited for an answer But there wasn't anybody there |

Like a cold and broken stone I'm dreaming of touching you Silent now, an empty page Colder than the ???? age Above now is where we'll be Oh Joanne, you're not with me Through the turning of a wheel Turning more and more until You realise it's come too soon Surely there is still a way If we believe in yesterday Oh Joanne, if you would try Oh Joanne, don't pass me by Think of all the friends we had No-one heard when they were sad To lose us as I lost you If you ever change your mind I'll be here, don't look behind Oh Joanne, I love you still Oh Joanne, I love you still Think of all the friends we had No-one heard when they were sad To lose us as I lost you If you ever change your mind I'll be here, don't look behind Oh Joanne, I love you still Oh Joanne, I love you still Sitting here, and all alone Like a cold and broken stone I'm dreaming of touching you |

Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car I asked no questions, I got no lies A one off winner, I didn't want any ties And I knew it wasn't right Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower She stopped the motor by her own front door I knew she'd done it so many times before But I was off of the floor But everybody has to sometimes break the rules I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down 'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town Then I saw the face from the night before My purse was empty lying there on the floor But like I told you before That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool But everybody has to sometimes break the rules Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules |

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Sat by a river, wasting my time
I looked at the water and it gave me a sign I made connection, my reflection Was calling me back to rock and roll It was moving, moving along I looked a little closer and I thought of a song And my reaction was satisfaction Calling me back to rock and roll Calling, calling me back I saw it in the water and I'm hitting the track Nothing to pack, polish my act Lord I'm gonna play some rock and roll I was looking, looking ahead Staying up instead of falling back into bed Fuel injected, I've been elected He's calling me back to rock and roll It must be something, something He said That's changing my mind and adjusting my head A new direction, a resurrection Calling me back to rock and roll Calling, calling me back I saw it in the water and I'm hitting the track Nothing to pack, polish my act Lord I'm gonna play some rock and roll |

Making time and living for the day Burning bridges never made me cry I could walk away with no goodbye Easy take or easy leave them all 'Til you scratch the writing on the wall It's on and off and on again Going on and then Taking all I got again Bleeding me, leaving me dry You're hanging on for what you can Dragging out the pain Taking all I give again Faking it, making me cry One day some day I may slide away Turn around and call it all a day Even though I've fooled myself for years I can't escape this ringing in my ears It's on and off and on again Going on and then Taking all I got again Bleeding me, leaving me dry You're hanging on for what you can Dragging out the pain Taking all I give again Faking it, making me cry |

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I feel a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room Baby it's a dream come true Standin' right along side of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room |

Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car I asked no questions, I got no lies A one off winner, I didn't want any ties And I knew it wasn't right Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower She stopped the motor by her own front door I knew she'd done it so many times before But I was off of the floor But everybody has to sometimes break the rules I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down 'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town Then I saw the face from the night before My purse was empty lying there on the floor But like I told you before That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool But everybody has to sometimes break the rules Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules |

How can I see what I'm needing for
How can I give what I gave before How can you tell me that you want me to stay How can I stay when I'm trying to say That I can't live without the rain Yes I can't live without the rain How can I feel what I'm trying to feel How can I move when I'm heel to heel You're always shouting about the doubt in my eyes But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry Now I can't live without the rain Yes I can't live without the rain Now I can't live without the rain That's falling on my head Rain that's falling on my head Rain that's falling Rain that's falling Rain that's falling on my head I started thinking back to you know when I'd like to send a line but then again How can I write you when there ain't no light? I'm feeling tired tonight but that is all right Now I can't live without the rain Yes I can't live without the rain |

Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone Well there's something I've been waiting for to tell you So I wrote it in the words of a song Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life |

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?- |

When you say those words, those three little words
You're in at the deep end Give up the night times, give up the high times Give up the weekend Give up the chance to be your own man Let the feeling take over The only way out is to lie if you can But you don't have the knack And you'll go crawling back, saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it I felt tied down, my pride down That I put that lie down The prize now for you is me Well I was like you and all I could do was Give up and surrender The people can trace what they did in my face But they're just pretenders They told me mercenary action today Is a line as simple and pure But what if you found you made a mistake The medicine's worse than the cure And you'll be back for sure, saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it I felt tied down, my pride down That I put that lie down The prize now for you is me Give up the chance to be your own man Let the feeling take over The only way out is to lie if you can But you don't have the knack And you'll go crawling back, saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it I felt tied down, my pride down That I put that lie down The prize now for you is me |

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky I closed my eyes to look for something Saw myself as really nothing Then I realised my butterfly Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my butterfly Riding on a long blue paperplane Getting seasick, sorry once again Landing strip is getting nearer Hope the foglifts, make it clearer Then I realised my paperplane Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my paperplane Riding in a three grand Deutche car A to B is often very far Home is near, but such a long way Legs and heads all feel the wrong way Then I realised my Deutche car Is only there to get me somewhere Even so I really do care Would you like to ride my Deutche car Rossi / Young |

Sitting by the window where I used to sit with you
Playing all the old songs like we often used to do It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night Went by a friend, he said, this is not a lie You're back again, and I couldn't laugh or cry 'Cos I never thought I'd see or hear you again Took me down to Sally's where the band was playing loud Didn't take me too long to find you there with a crowd It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night I had a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time I tried to find something right for me to say Can't you decide when you left me on that day 'Cos I never thought I'd see or hear you again Oh no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again No, I never thought I'd see or hear you again Oh no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again No, no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again No, I never thought I'd see or hear you again No, no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again..... |
