I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY

The Eagles 1979

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

Look at us baby, up all night, tearing our love apart

Weren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark? Oh, oh

Every time I try to walk away,

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

 

When we get crazy, it just ain't right

(Got to keep your head, little girl)

Girl, I get lonely too

You don't have to worry, just hold on tight

(Don't get caught in your little world)

'Cause I love you

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see

We make it harder than it has to be

And I can't tell you why

No, baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

 

Every time I try to walk away,

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

No baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

Shine On Through

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Gary Osborne 1978

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

Oh my love

I have cursed the stars above

That lead my heart to you

But as hard as I try

Still my love will not die

And the stars still shine on through

And the stars still shine on through

  

Oh my dear

Now this ship's too hard to steer

The tide has turned, turned on you

I have been through the lies

That I've seen in your eyes

But the truth still shines on through

But the truth it still shines, shines on through

  

So shine, shine on through the days we have to fill

Though we took our love so daringly

And gave it up uncaringly

There are feelings left not even we can kill

  

Oh my friend

So at last we reach the end

The lights go down on cue

I have wasted my time

But it tasted oh so fine

That my love still shines, shines on through

And my love still shines, shines on you

On the side of a hot rod advertising a body shop.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

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

Brain Damage

Music & lyrics by Pink Floyd, Roger Waters 1973

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

The lunatic is on the grass.

The lunatic is on the grass.

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.

Got to keep the loonies on the path.

 

The lunatic is in the hall.

The lunatics are in my hall.

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more.

 

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

And if there is no room upon the hill

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

The lunatic is in my head.

The lunatic is in my head

You raise the blade, you make the change

You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.

You lock the door

And throw away the key

There's someone in my head but it's not me.

 

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear.

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Someone's Final Song

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976

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

He died when the house was empty

When the maid had gone

He put a pen to paper for one final song

He wrote -

Oh babe, it's the only way

I know it's wrong but I can't stand

To go on living, to go on living, living life this way

 

And I don't know what the time is

Or what the next line is

Or how you're going to take the news

But if I had my life again

I wouldn't change a thing

I'd let nobody, I'd let nobody

Stand inside my shoes

 

Something's gotten hold of me

This home is not the home it used to be

I've gathered dust like the dying flowers

And I've drunk myself sober

After hours and hours

 

After hours and hours

Amazes Me

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1989

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

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

This Masquerade

Music & lyrics by Leon Russell 1976

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

Are we really happy

With this lonely game we play?

Looking for words to say

 

Searching but not finding

Understanding anywhere

We're lost in this masquerade

 

Both afraid to say

We're just to far away

From being close together

From the start

 

We tried to talk it over

But the words got in the way

We're lost inside

This lonely game we play

 

Thoughts of weeping

Disappear every time

I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try

 

To understand the reasons

That we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade

 

We could just start over

But it's oh so, hard to do

When you're lost in a masquerade

RED LIPSTICK

Music & lyrics by Arno Hintjens

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

There's something wrong

like my brain is gone

Not from drinking, but from living

My last girlfriend was a drinker

she lost her dog

his name was Thinker

 

The sunlight in her eyes

Shows her age

I wish I'd never seen her face

I still got her red lipstick on my face

 

She gives a stare that could

nail a sign on a tree

The eyeballs of a snake

Nothing is fake

she could make a fish sing

she could make a cow dance

she acts like a rock star

but couldn't play the guitar

 

The sunlight in her eyes

shows her age

I wish I'd never seen her face

I still got her red lipstick on my face

 

She walks so nice

as if she was afraid

of taking up too much place

she was beautiful like fire

she smells like fire

She smells like, like flowers

 

The sunlight in her eyes

shows her age

I wish I never see her face

I still got her red lipstick on my face

 

I still got her red lipstick on my face

"Lady of the dawn

You are the dealer,

In this strange, uncertain game,

Take my cards and deal again,

I can feel my life is changing.

Woman,

Now you taught me how to learn,

Teach me to earn

The love you give to me,

The love you give to me..."

Crystal

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1983

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

We're caught up in a web, you and I

Since Crystal came between us

The knots of friendship seem to be untied

And it hurts me most to cheat and that's no lie

She can swing us both forever

In the long run she's the one who must decide

  

And if she leaves me handle her with care

Don't hurt little Crystal

And if she calls you long distance just be there

Oh Crystal

The world is your oyster, you're a pearl

But he's a jewel and my friend

I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl

Oh Crystal

  

You're stronger than me but I'm sure

That the fight would fall to no one

The cold hard truth is stronger than us all

And it breaks my heart to see us go this far

We're just captives in our separate cells

And without her there's no peace behind these bars

WV1883/2024

 

"They came flying from far away

Now I'm under their spell

I love hearing the stories that they tell

 

They've seen places beyond my land

And they've found new horizons

They speak strangely but I understand

 

And I dream I'm an eagle

And I dream I can spread my wings..."

Between Seventeen And Twenty

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976

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

I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight

Whose head rests upon the bed

Could it be a close friend I knew so well

Who seems to be so close to you instead

Close to you instead

  

I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad

I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad

I guess I cannot have everything

So much has flown between the years

When I was twenty and you were seventeen

  

So out of choice I chose rock and roll

But it pushed me to the limit everyday

It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home

From there on, there seemed no use for you

For you to stay

  

And if I shower around 3 a.m.

It's just to wash away

The trace of a love unwanted

Oh in the times I went astray

The times I went astray

  

So much has flown between the years

When I was twenty and you were seventeen

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Music & lyrics by Queen/Freddie Mercury

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

I've paid my dues

Time after time

I've done my sentence

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I've made a few

and I've had my share of sand

Kicked in my face

But I've come through

And I need to go on and on and on and on

 

We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fightin' till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions of the world

 

I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls

You've brought me fame and fortune

And everything that goes with it

I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise

and I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I'd never lose

And I need to go on and on and on and on

 

We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fightin' till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions of the world

"You've got me under your spell, again

Sayin' those things, again

Makin' me believe that you're just mine

You've got me dreamin' those dreams, again

Makin' those things, again

I've gotta take you back just one more time

 

I swore the last time that you let me down

That I wouldn't see you if you came around

But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong

And I've been so lonely since you've been gone..."

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

The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Music & lyrics by Kate Bush 1978

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

("He's here! He's here!

He's here! He's here!")

 

I hear him, before I go to sleep

And focus on the day that's been.

I realise he's there,

When I turn the light off and turn over.

 

Nobody knows about my man.

They think he's lost on some horizon.

And suddenly I find myself

Listening to a man I've never known before,

 

Telling me about the sea,

All his love, 'til eternity.

 

Ooh, he's here again,

The man with the child in his eyes.

Ooh, he's here again,

The man with the child in his eyes.

 

He's very understanding,

And he's so aware of all my situations.

And when I stay up late,

He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.

 

Oh, I'm so worried about my love.

They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."

And here I am again, my girl,

Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.

Maybe he doesn't love me.

I just took a trip on my love for him.

 

Ooh, he's here again,

The man with the child in his eyes.

Ooh, he's here again,

The man with the child in his eyes.

"Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl

What can I do without you in my life?

I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way

The hardest one to lose of all the games we played

 

But the time is past for living in a dream world

Lying to myself can't make that scene

Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

 

And watch the sun go down (and watch the sun go down)

Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)

But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)

And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)

Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)

Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

 

For all the sunny skies, it's raining in my heart

I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you

But it had to end this way with all the games we played

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

 

And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)

And hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)

But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)

And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)

Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)

Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

 

And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)

Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)

But I'll be thinking of you (yes and I'll be thinking of you)

And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)

Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)

Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

 

Watch the ships come in (sit and watch the sun go down)

Wonder where they've been (listen to the sea roll in)

But I'll be thinking of you, darling (yes and I'll be thinking of you)..."

(Covered by Tori Amos)

one day you see a strange little girl look at you

one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue

she'd run to the town one day

leaving home and the country fair

just beware

when you're there

strange little girl

she didn't know how to live in a town that was rough

it didn't take long before she knew she had enough

walking home in her wrapped up world

she survived but she's feeling old

and she found all things cold

strange little girl

where are you going?

strange little girl

where are you going?

do you know where you could be going?

walking home in her wrapped up world

she survived but she's feeling old

cuz she found all things cold

strange little girl

where are you going?

do you know where you could be going?
