Behind Blue Eyes

The Who

No one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies

But my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

No one knows what it's like
to feel these feelings
like I do
and I blame you

No one bites back as hard
on their anger
none of my pain and woe
can show through

But my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
before I use it and lose my cool
when I smile, tell me some bad news
before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil
put your finger down my throat
and if I shiver, please give me a blanket
keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes

White Rabbit

Jefferson Airplane

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
And 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

Fast Car

Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

See I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

See I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

See I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

For Your Eyes Only

Sheena Easton

For your eyes only, can see me through the night.
For your eyes only, I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.

For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you, for your eyes only.

Riders on the Storm

The Doors

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road

Girl you gotta love your man
Girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Got It Made

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Know you are a friend of mine, babe you been gone
An awful long time. You might remember me, I tried
To set your soul free.

Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done

Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.

I'm gonna be missing you, even though I understand that you're not through.
Go on take it day by day, seems like I lost you anyway.

Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.

When you came to save the world I caused your
Dreams to fade,
I couldn't do what you did and rained on your parade.

Glad that you got it made.
Glad that you got it made.

Hard set of changes, for anyone that I know,
You're gonna make it, make it, make it better for you
And me and anyone else you know.

Just don't forget me, I'll be there when you're done
And in the meantime, meantime, you'll get to know
Yourself
So don't judge anyone else, anyone.

It doesn't matter I don't mind, I'm sure that you'll
Remember sometime, even if you never do,
All you need to worry `bout now is you.

Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your
Last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.

Glad that you got it made.

Psychobabble

The Alan Parsons Project

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It ain't Kodachrome and it isn't black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
Well, I'm never on my own but there's nobody in sight
I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me

I can't turn to the left or the right
I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight
But I don't care, it's all psychobabble rap to me

Psychobabble

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It's in Dolby Stereo but I never hear it right
Take me for a fool, well, that's all right
Well, I see the way to go but there isn't any light
I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me

Help me to find what I don't wanna know
You're taking me there but I don't wanna go
I don't care, it's all psychobabble rap to me

Psychobabble, all psychobabble
Psychobabble, all psychobabble

I don't care, it's all psychobabble rap to me
You're readin' my mind, you won't look in my eyes
You say I do things that I don't realize
But I don't care, it's all psychobabble rap to me

Psychobabble, all psychobabble
Psychobabble, all psychobabble

You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
I threw it away 'cause I don't want it back
But I don't care, it's all psychobabble rap

3 Doors Down

Your stuck on a chain
And your toeing a lie
Seems like everytime that you catch up
You only fall behind

And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
but that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me

There is always someone to blame
for the things you do yourself
you think that everything that's going wrong
is because of someone else

And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me 
and it's bigger than me

cause i'm lonely outside and i'll look on in

And that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me

Mama Told Me Not to Come

Three Dog Night

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the craziest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking from
The smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window sucka
Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

The radio is blasting,
Someone's beating on the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
But I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun,

Mama told me, Mama told me, Mama told me
Told me, told me,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Hummingbird

Seals & Crofts

Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you
to come flying along.
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong.
We've harmed you.
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings.
Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha.
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness,
​oh source of our being, oh hummingbird.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
In you I've found a fragrance. I'll love you 'til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why. Now,
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.

Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices whisper in us all.
Haven't you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
...
Alas, here comes the "Gardener"; he's come to till the flowers
...
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
