Joe Jackson
I'm the Man - AM / AMS 7635-Holland









LYRICS: 


Pretty soon now
You know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash
I'll speak
To the masses through the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
'Cause I've got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Did ya lookit lookit lookit all the blood
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Right now
I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
Why don't you give me all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

SINGLE:





LYRICS:


I've had enough
of this parade
I'm thinking of
the words to say
We open up
unfinished parts
Broken up
it's only love

And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now

Keep waking up (waking up)
without you here (without you here)
another day (another day)
another year (another year)
I seek the truth (seek the truth)
We set apart (we set apart)
Second dance
Second chance (a second chance)

And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now

And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now

Closer, closer
Closer, closer

Elvis Costello - Veronica (1989)




Elvis Costello
"Veronica"
Album: Spike (1989 Warner)


SINGLE:





LYRICS:


Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well I used to know a girl and I would have
sworn that her name was Veronica
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her
own and a delicate look in her eye
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure if her
name is Veronica

[Chorus:]
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those who shout
her name and steal her clothes
Veronica
Veronica

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane?
Did he roam down the town all the time?
Will you wake from your dream, with a wolf at
the door, reaching out for Veronica
Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
With a picture of Veronica

On the "Empress of India"
And as she closed her eyes upon the world and
picked upon the bones of last week's news
She spoke his name outloud again

[Chorus]

Veronica sits in her favourite chair and she sits
very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get
right and if they don't then nobody else will
But she used to have a carefree mind of her
own, with devilish look in her eye
Saying "You can call me anything you like, but
my name is Veronica"

[Chorus]

LYRICS:

"Jimmy Hendrix plays all night long in the house of a thousand guitars.
Through a purple haze you can hear the song in the house of a thousand guitars.
When the clock strikes 12 Robert Johnson sings in the house of a thousand guitars.
Neath a delta moon and a worn brass ring in the house of a thousand guitars.
There's not a dry eye when old Hank sings in the house of a thousand guitars.
With the pain and the hurt love sometime brings in the house of a thousand guitars.
Well you can hear Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones in the house of a thousand guitars.
There will be no vultures picking on their bones in the house of a thousand guitars.
House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house meet the moon and stars.
House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house of a thousand guitars.
You can spread your finger across the universe in the house of a thousand guitars.
John Lennon, Muddy Waters, man you can do worse in the house of a thousand guitars.
Well you can walk bare foot on broken glass in the house of a thousand guitars.
Cause Mr. John Lee Hooker's gonna kick your ass in the house of a thousand guitars.
House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house meet the moon and stars.
House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house of a thousand guitars.
You can hear electric fingers playin', dripping down life's crooked alleways.
They say there are no broken strings in the house of a thousand guitars.
Just some busted hearts and bee that stings.
There are stained glass windows on the bedroom walls.
You can hear the cry when salvation calls.
Well you can move your body, you can shake your heads in the house of a thousand guitars.
You can play with blood on your fingtips in the house of a thousand guitars.
House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house meet the moon and stars. House of a thousand, house of a thousand, house of a thousand guitars."

Elvis Costello - I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down (1980)

"I Can`t Stand Up For Falling Down"
Album: Get Happy!! (1980 F-BEAT)


SINGLE:





LYRICS:


I'm the living result
I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much
and I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down

simple though love is
still it confused me
why I'm not loved the way I should be
now I've lived with heartaches
and I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
and I've wrestled with tears

I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down

the vow that we made
you broke it in two
but that don't stop me from loving you

I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down

SINGLE:





LYRICS:


Ooh...ooh...ooh..
Ooh...ooh...ooh..

Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the motherland

One by one we're gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied
(Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
We'll join together, with hearts of gold

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

We'll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow from your heart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/i/isley-brothers-lyrics/caravan-of-love-lyrics.html ]
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)

Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)

Every woman, every man

Peter Frampton - Show Me The Way (1975) Live Midnight Special




Peter Frampton
"Show me the Way"
Album: Frampton (1975 A&M)


SINGLE:





LYRICS:


I wonder how you're feeling.
There's ringing in my ears.
And no one to relate to, 'cept the sea.

Who can I believe in,
I'm kneeling on the floor.
There has to be a force; who do I phone.
The stars are out and shining, but all I really want to know.
Oh won't you... show me the way.
I want you ...show me the way.

Well, I can see no reason,
You're living on your nerves.
When someone drops a cup and I submerge.
I'm swimming in a circle.
I feel I'm going down.
There has to be a fool to play my part.
Well someone thought of healing, but all I really want to know,

Oh won't you show me the way (every day).
I want you... show me the way.
I want you... day after day.

I wonder if I'm dreaming,
I feel so unashamed.
I can't believe this is happening... to me.
I watch you when you're sleeping, 
and then I want to take your love.
Oh won't you... show me the way (every day).
I want you... show me the way (one more time).
I want you... day after day.

Oh won't you... show me the way (every day).
I want you... show me the way (night and day).
I want you... day after day.

SINGLE:





LYRICS:


When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me

When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby
And have a little faith, faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
And have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby
From a whisper, start
To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch your, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith, faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, have faith in me

Well, I've been loving you
For such a long, long time
Exspecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me

You see time, time is our friend
Cause for us there is no end
All you gotta do is
Have a little faith in me

I will hold you up
I will hold you up
And your love gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Oh, hey... ohh darling
Have a little faith in me

Ooo... ooo...

JOHN HIATT Cry Love (1995 UK 4-track CD single including The Other Side, Twenty-One & Your Love Is My Rest, picture sleeve CDCL759).


LYRICS: 


A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you
Or did you kick him out
I know you're not afraid
To go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

CHORUS:
Cry love, Cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry Love, Cry Love

The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy, not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do
With the booze and the blush
Whatcha gonna do
When there's no rush
Cop a little misery
At the corner store
Well' one day that train of pain won't stop no more

CHORUS

Throwning up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love
Well what's it for?
The heart won't remember
The burning fire
The next time you feel the flame
Of desire

CHORUS
CHORUS

Cry love, cry love, cry love
