---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any Road

Music & lyrics by George Harrison 2001

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  

(Give me that plenty of that guitar.)

 

But I've been traveling on a boat and a plane

In a car on a bike with a bus and a train

Traveling there, traveling here

Everywhere in every gear

 

But oh Lord we pay the price

With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice

Ah yeah you pay your fare

And if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

 

And I've been traveling through the dirt and the grime

From the past to the future through the space and the time

Traveling deep beneath the waves

In watery grottoes and mountainous caves

 

But oh Lord we've got to fight

With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light

No use to stop and stare

And if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

 

You may not know where you came from

May not know who you are

May not have even wondered

How you got this far

 

I've been traveling on a wing and a prayer

By the skin of my teeth, by the breadth of a hair

Traveling where the four winds blow

With the sun on my face, in the ice and the snow

 

But oooeeee it's a game

Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're lame

Ah yeah it's somewhere

And if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

 

But oh Lord we pay the price

With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice

Ah yeah you pay your fare

And if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

 

I keep traveling around the bend

There was no beginning, there is no end

It wasn't born and never dies

There are no edges, there is no sides

 

Oh yeah you just don't win

It's so far out, the way out is in

Bow to God and call him Sir

But if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

And if you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

If you don't know where you're going

Any road will take you there

 

(Yeah hey! Ah ee ah! Ah he ah!)

Island Girl

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1975

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet

Down where Lexington cross 47th Street

She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three

Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city

 

Island girl

What you wanting with the white man's world

Island girl

Black boy want you in his island world

He want to take you from the racket boss

He want to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl

Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world

 

She's black as coal but she burn like a fire

And she wrap herself around you like a well worn tire

You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake

He one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake

Wasted Time

Music & lyrics by The Eagles, Don Henley-Glen Frey 1976

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well baby, there you stand

With your little head, down in your hand

Oh, my God, you can't believe

It's happening again

your baby's gone, and you're all alone

and it looks like the end.

 

And you're back out on the street.

And you're tryin' to remember.

How will you start it over?

You don't know if you can.

You don't care much for a stranger's touch,

but you can't hold your man.

 

You never thought you'd be alone

this far down the line

And I know what's been on your mind

You're afraid it's all been wasted time

 

The autumn leaves have got you thinking

about the first time that you fell

You didn't love the boy too much, no, no

you just loved the boy too well, farewell

So you live from day to day, and you dream

about tomorrow, oh.

 

And the hours go by like minutes

and the shadows come to stay

So you take a little something

to make them go away

And I could have done so many things, baby

If I could only stop my mind from wonderin' what

I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time

 

Ooh, another love has come and gone

Ooh, and the years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me

before you went out on your own:

"Sometimes to keep it together,

you got to leave it alone."

 

So you can get on with your search, baby,

and I can get on with mine

And maybe someday we will find,

that it wasn't really wasted time

Mm,hm

Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,

With your cotton dress a swishin', you gettin' some attention

From all the boys in Thibodaux.

Oh my, you really fillin' up their eyes.

But I'm the only one who loves you so!

 

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know.

Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found

I have said goodbye to my fooling around

Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound

Well I never knew it could feel so good

Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood

Rain on my roof what a sweet sound

Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound

With you underneath it's like candy by the pound

 

You can tell everybody that this girl of mine

Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine

Love like wine honey drinking till I drown

Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound

 

Oh no what's come over me

If I am dreaming then let me sleep

Oh wow I'm heaven bound

Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound.... "

Amazes Me

You're a cool little one

My dark southern breeze

Sweeps through my fingers

And it amazes me

 

Dixie shadowland

Your envy shelters me

Lay down your burden

Mystery of ebony

 

And it amazes me

Oh it amazes me

Maybe the heat babe could be this tune

It amazes me

It amazes me

What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon

 

Look up that pale light

Well she's waking the trees

I'm drifting in your hoodoo

And it amazes me

 

That magnolia state

Got a hold on me

I got no blues to preach

Just Mississippi company

 

Ain't no magic potion

No gri-gri on her side

She's bound to my salvation

Sweet little mama

Take me down by the river tonight

And it amazes me

Just Like Belgium

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1981

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember Belgium and the Brussels Museum

Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers

Our code of living meant little to others

The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs

  

But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium

See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom

Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change

And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium

  

Just like a hustler when they look attractive

It's nothing more than a slap on the back

The price tag of being just a little bit different

The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance

Sait

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1983

You don't pass your time in limbo

Or hang out with the crowd

Sitting on the stoop like a little girl

Who took the wrong road into town

But you got that short cut way about you

And no one's gonna stare you down

You cook much better on a lower flame

You burn much better when the sun goes down

  

And heaven can wait

But you ought to be a saint

I got your very best intentions

Helping me along

And if I ever fail to mention

You were an overnight sensation

Well take it from me

My baby's a saint

My baby's a saint

  

I believe you were a new arrival

On the fast train passing through

And you traded in your luck for survival

To sweeten up the witch's brew

You had a better way of working magic

A little mystery in your eyes

Instead of rolling over you remained the same

You took the whole world by surprise

Medley (Yell Help, Wednesday Night, Ugly)

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1975

Yell help, too many cooks and a bird in the bush, yell help

Yell help, if your mirror busts and your cat gets cussed, yell help

`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking

Down the road you find another sweet lady cooking

So I gotta yell help

  

Yell help, some shelter from the storm like the travel agent warned

Yell help, if you can help your superstitions they gonna keep you warm

`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking

Down the road you seen another sweet lady cooking

So I gotta yell help

  

I wish tonight wasn't Wednesday night

I wish it wasn't the thirteenth of July, yell help

And you're looking at the guy whose eyes can't deny

That he wishes he were somewhere else tonight

  

Well I met this woman down in New Orleans

Lord she built just like a dream

Even wore stockings that had seams

And she was ugly

  

Now hell I don't mind women of her kind

I'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly

  

She built like a steamroller

Just the kind to mow you over anytime

Hey the moment might arrive

  

On Bourbon Street

Well the ugliest woman you'll ever meet

But she's mine all mine and she's ugly

So I better yell help

Expresso Love

Music & lyrics by Mark Knopfler & Dire Straits 1980

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She gets the sun in the daytime

Perfume in the dusk

And she comes out in the night time

With the honeysuckle musk

Because she smells just like a rose

And she tastes just like a peach

She got me walking the wildlife goes

I'd do anything to reach her

 

And she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

You know I'm crazy for the girl

 

She call me just to talk

She's my lover she's a friend of mine

She says hey mister you wanna take a walk

In the wild west end sometime

And I get trouble with my breathing

She says boys don't know anything

But I know what I want

I want everything

 

Well I feel so good cos I feel so good

And I feel so good cos it feels so right

I was made to go with my girl

Like a saxophone was made to go with the night

 

And she can raise one eyebrow

Put her hand on my hip

And I close one eye now

Sweat on her lip

And I surrender to the fever

I surrender to the will of the night

She love me so tender I got to believe her

Love ? Expresso love's alright

 

I don't want no sugar in it

Thank you very much

All wired up on it all fired up on it

Expresso touch

Hey maestro expresso

It's just another one just like the other one

Hey maestro expresso

Is this another one just like the other one

"Bangkok, Oriental setting

And the city don't know what the city is getting

The crème de la crème of the chess world

In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies—doesn't seem a minute

Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it

All change—don't you know that when you

Play at this level there's no ordinary venue?

It's Iceland—or the Philippines—or Hastings—or—

Or this place!

 

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

And if you're lucky then the god's a she

I can feel an angel slidin' up to me

 

One town's very like another

When your head's down over your pieces, brother

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

What do you mean?

You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town—

Tea girls, warm and sweet (Warm, sweet)

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist

Whose every move's among the purest

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

 

Siam's gonna be the witness

To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

This grips me more than would a

Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game—controlling it—

I don't see you guys rating

The kind of mate I'm contemplating

I'd let you watch, I would invite you

But the queens we use would not excite you

So you'd better go back to your bars, your temples

Your massage parlours—

 

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

A little flesh, a little history

I can feel an angel slidin' up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the devil walkin' next to me...."

Lies

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1995

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some lie about who they love

Some lie about the truth

Some lie to save their lives

Some lie about their youth

  

Some lie about age and beauty

The conquest of sex

Most lie about the night before

A woman lies for a party dress

  

I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you

  

And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire

Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth

I could be great like Tennessee Williams

If I could only hear something that sounds like the truth

  

Some lie in the face of death

Some lie about their fame

Some kneel and lie to God

Some lie about their name

  

Some lie in words and speeches

With every living breath

The young lie with their guitars

The old lie for a little respect

  

I've lied to lie with danger

I've lied for a drug or two

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you

  

I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you.

Sacrifice

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1989

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a human sign

When things go wrong

When the scent of her lingers

And temptation's strong

  

Into the boundary

Of each married man

Sweet deceit comes calling

And negativity lands

  

Cold cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things look better baby

Just passing through

  

And it's no sacrifice

Just a simple word

It's two hearts living

In two separate worlds

But it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice

It's no sacrifice at all

  

Mutual misunderstanding

After the fact

Sensitivity builds a prison

In the final act

  

We lose direction

No stone unturned

No tears to damn you

When jealousy burns

Understanding Women

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1992

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rolling over trying to sleep

And understanding women

Thinking of you out there somewhere

Looking for a new beginning

  

Just let me be the final word

In the book we haven't written

I won't be another page

In understanding women

  

I could drive to Mexico

On understanding women

Throw myself against the waves

And answer up to heaven

  

How come her heart's so stubborn

And what's so wrong with giving

Ask the big sky talking

About understanding women

  

And I'm not just anyone who ever stood outside your door

And I'm not any man you've ever known before

Don't judge this picture by the frame

Every man is not the same

Some men reach beyond the pain

Of understanding women

TIGER

Music & lyrics by Abba, Andersson & Ulvaeus 1976

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The city is a jungle, you better take care

Never walk alone after midnight

If you don't believe it you better beware

Of me

 

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

 

The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream

Some of us will dream it forever

Look around the corner and try not to scream

It's me

 

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

 

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights

Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

 

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

 

The city is a prison, you never escape

You're forever trapped in the alleys

Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape

Of me

 

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

 

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights

Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

 

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

And if I meet you, what if I eat you, I am the tiger

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

Tiger, tiger, tiger!

Mother

Music & lyrics by John Lennon 1970

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother, you had me I never had you

I wanted you but you didn't want me

So I got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Father, you left me but I never left you

I needed you but you didn't need me

So I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Children, don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk so I tried to run

So I got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Touch me now and let me see again

Rock me now in your gentle healing hands..."

PICTURE THIS

Music and lyrics by Blondie 1978

----------------------------------------------------------

"All I want is a room with a view.

A sight worth seeing, a vision of you.

All I want is a room with a view, oh...

I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you shower.

I will give you my finest hour, oh, yeah.

All I want is a photo in my wallet.

A small remembrance of something more solid.

All I want is a picture of you.

Picture this - a day in December.

Picture this - freezing cold weather.

You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.

If you could only,

Picture this - a sky full of thunder.

Picture this - my telephone number.

One and one is what I'm telling you, oh, yeah.

All I want is 20/20 vision...

 

A total portrait with no omissions.

All I want is a vision of you, oh...

If you can,

Picture this - a day in December.

Picture this - freezing cold weather.

You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.

If you could only,

Picture this - a sky full of thunder.

Picture this - my telephone number.

One and one is what I'm telling you.

Get a pocket computer, try to do what ya used to do, yeah.

"One day she saw him starring and it chilled her to the bone

She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

'Cause ladies love outlaws

Like babies love stray dogs..."

Martha My Dear

Music & lyrics by The Beatles, Lennon-McCartney 1968

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martha my dear though I spend my days in conversation

Please

Remember me Martha my love

Don't forget me Martha my dear

 

Hold your head up you silly girl look what you've done

When you find yourself in the thick of it

Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

Silly girl.

 

Take a good look around you

Take a good look you're bound to see

That you and me were meant to be for each other

Silly girl.

 

Hold your hand out you silly girl see what you've done

When you find yourself in the thick of it

Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

Silly girl.

 

Martha my dear you have always been my inspiration

Please

Be good to me Martha my love

Don't forget me Martha my dear.
