J J Cale - Carry On - Lyrics

  




If life's little downs they keep coming around


Carry on, carry on


With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout


Carry on, carry on


Don't cry baby, look at where you've been


Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees


Everybody knows you just need a friend


Carry on, carry on


Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes


Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out


Carry on, carry on


Carry on, carry on


Let out all the slack, take it off your back


It don't matter what you say or do


It just seems to work out if you want it to


Carry on, carry on


Carry on, carry on


Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear


Carry on, carry on

ABBA - Eagle - Lyrics

ABBA - Eagle - Lyrics

 



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.


And I dream I can spread my wings...


They speak strangely but I understand.




And I dream I'm an eagle,


Over mountains and forests and seas,


Flying high, high,


I'm a bird in the sky.


I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze...




High, high,


what a feeling to fly.


I have questions and they know everything.


And to go anywhere that I please...




As all good friends we talk all night,


and we fly wing to wing.


Flying high, high,


There's no limit to what I feel,


we climb higher and higher.


Am I dreaming or is it all real?




Is it true I'm an eagle?


Is it true I can spread my wings?


I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze...


I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)






High, high,


what a feeling to fly (What a feeling)


Over mountains and forests and seas,


And to go anywhere that I please.

My Lady D'Arbanville - Cat Stevens

My Lady D'Arbanville - Cat Stevens 



My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still? 
I'll wake you tomorrow 
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill
My Lady d'Arbanville, why does it grieve me so? 
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low
My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still? 
I'll wake you tomorrow 
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill
My Lady d'Arbanville, you look so cold tonight 
Your lips feel like winter
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white
My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still? 
I'll wake you tomorrow 
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill
La la la la la 
La la la la la la
La la la la la 
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
My Lady d'Arbanville, why does it grieve me so? 
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low
I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you 
This rose will never die, this rose will never die
I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you 
This rose will never die, this rose will never die

The Hooters - 500 miles

The Hooters - 500 miles 




If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved is not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
A hundred tanks along the square
One man stands and stops them there
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home...
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home...
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Nouvelle Vague - Dance With Me

Nouvelle Vague - Dance With Me 


Dance With Me

Lets dance little stranger
Show me secret sins
Love can be like bondage
Seduce me once again
Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve
Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Like an aparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul
The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Oh come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the musics over
Lets give it one more chance
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Hooverphonic - Jackie Cane (Live at Koningin Elisabethzaal 2012)

Hooverphonic - Jackie Cane (Live at Koningin Elisabethzaal 2012) 


Jackie Cane

Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden
Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She'd melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for Jackie Cane

The Thing I Haven't Got - Maria Daines

The Thing I Haven't Got - Maria Daines 



The Thing I Haven't Got'

Pieces of you
Lyin' around in my heart
Treasure in the wreckage
Some lucky stone I lost
The face I won't forget
The picture in the paper
The cloud that's always blue
The thing I haven't got

And you smile and say
You have a life
You haven't lived
And I take the hurt
And wrap it up
As some small gift
We walk away
To burn a bridge

Like fallin' off a train
Drownin' in a river
The sun that fades to grey
The things I couldn't say
A lover and a stranger
The sweetness and the bitter
The one I cannot blame
A penny for the pain

Pieces of you
Lyin' around in my heart
Treasure in the wreckage
Some lucky stone I lost
The face I won't forget
The picture in the paper
The cloud that's always blue
The thing I haven't got
Some lucky stone I lost
Treasure in the wreckage
The thing I haven’t got

Some lucky stone I lost
Treasure in the wreckage
The Thing I haven't got...

Blue Tattoo - Maria Daines

Blue Tattoo ~ Maria Daines 


'Blue Tattoo' 

I'm here for you baby, hold on tight
I'm with you darling in the dark of night
If the devil comes keep me safe
Our faith and hope in Jesus saves

We won't fall if we stand together
We won't hurt if we hurt as one
I need your love now and forever
The past is gone, the past is done

Keep your arms around me like a wedding band
I'll say my vows and with you I stand
Faith and love is our guiding light
God shall keep us on the path of right

We are as one, we are the fortress
We are the ink, we are the tree
We are the shelter in the forest
I belong to you, you belong to me

Need you on my arm like a blue tattoo
Nobody made me feel like you
We hold the sky and we ride the stars
And I will dream with you in my heart

Joined in precious longing
There are no chains to hold us down
We are free at last belonging
The truest joy in love abounds

Need you on my arm like a blue tattoo
Nobody made me feel like you
We hold the sky and we ride the stars
And I will dream with you in my heart

We are joined in precious longing
There are no chains to hold us down
We are free at last belonging
The truest joy in love abounds

Get Tough! ~ Maria Daines

Get Tough! ~ Maria Daines 


Get Tough!

We’ve had the year from hell thanks to BSL
Broke our hearts n’ broke the wishing well, c’mon mama
Let’s kick this shit into touch!
Cos when life is blue you got nothing to lose
So kick up some dust in your big boys shoes
N’ get tough!

Well 2013 was as bad as it seemed
You bled our hearts and you wrecked our dreams
Stole good lives and you locked them away
We’re rockin’ you out and we’ll make you pay!
Life is short and the lies corrupt
So take it on the chin
N’ go get tough!

A poor man tries to save his four legged friend
The law brings him down to a pitiful end, c’mon baby
This is time to fight rough!
Cos when you’re all outa luck
You lost everything you got
Hold your head up
N’ go get tough!

Cos when you’re all outa luck
You lost everything you got
Hold your head up
N’ go get tough!

'This is not a dog problem, this is a people problem
All the bad things, all the murders, all the atrocities -
Every bad thing that's ever happened in this world
Has been caused - by - people'

Kaz Hawkins - Surviving

Kaz Hawkins - Surviving 


Surviving

So many say keep quiet
So many think they know
So many go unnoticed
So many never grow
To wake each day with something
To wake each day with you
Is waking up in fear of love
For all that you could do

But I'm surviving without you
I'm surviving my whole life through

Survivor of a pain
Survivor of a false love
A human of a hushed up world
Survivor overall
Surviving isn't for you for
It's me who fights the fight
So one day I hope you'll suffer
For my breath you held so tight

I'm surviving without you
I'm surviving my whole life through

I'm surviving oh without you
I'm surviving oh yes my whole life through
I'm surviving without you
I'm surviving my whole life through

But I'm cleansed of all your deeds now
I know you'll never know
So just don't warn the others
It's my time to tell and show

Jerusalim od zlata - Yerushalayim Shel Zahav - Nourith - Ofra Haza

Jerusalim od zlata - Yerushalayim Shel Zahav

 Nourith


Ofra Haza


Jerusalim od zlata

 Čist planinski vazduh kao vino i miris borova, 
nošen je vihorom sumraka 
dok se čuju zvona 
i dok spavaju drvo i kamen 
uhvaćeni u njegovom snu 
grad usamljen sedi sa tvrđavom u srcu.

Jerusalim od zlata, od bronze i od svetla,
kao prva violina ja sam svim tvojim pesmama.

Vratili smo se izvorima vode, trgovima i pijacama, 
dok se u starom gradu zvuk roga čuje 
kako zove ka zidu plača. 
A kroz pećine što su u stenama, 
hiljade sunaca svetle, 
jer se ka Mrtvom moru spuštamo na putu za Jerihon.

Jerusalim od zlata, od bronze i od svetla,
kao prva violina ja sam svim tvojim pesmama.

I evo došao je i taj dan da tebi pevam 
i da te krasim krunama svojim, stuhovima. 
A ja sam samo najmanji od najmlađih 
i najgori sam pesnik. 
I neka mi tvoje ime sprži usne kao poljubac vreli 
ako te ikada zaboravim Jerusalime od zlata celi.

Jerusalim od zlata, od bronze i od svetla,
kao prva violina ja sam svim tvojim pesmama.

Walk Alone - Cher (lyrics)





Walk Alone

There's a poet in me that remembers
And there's an honesty in every word
There's a dancer that feels her own beat
And there's a daughter who loves

There's a sinner in my bones
And there's a joker in my head
There are secrets in my soul
And there are sorries that I have never said

But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone

There's a tight rope that I've been walking
There's a daisy in my hair
There's a heartbreak that has taught me
Of what is raging
And there's only love and fear

There's a sadness in my confessions
There's a hyena howling at the moon
And there's a gypsy in me that keeps on roaming
And there's a an anger as I get closer to the truth

But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone
I've got to walk alone
But for now I gotta walk alone

Oh, I hear the thunder but I won't back down
A soldier marches through the wrong side of town
I'm gonna love you until I bleed
And that's the story of me
I gotta walk alone

If they say time is everything
There's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I've got to walk alone
I've got to walk alone
I gotta walk alone
For now I gotta walk alone
