Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow (2003)



Stereophonics
"Maybe Tomorrow"
Album: You Gotta Go There To Come Back (2003 V2)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


I've been down
And I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me

It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
oh me

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever (1967)



The Beatles
"Strawberry Fields Forever"
Album: Magical Mystery Tour (1967 Parlophone UK)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Prince - Rock and Roll Love Affair (2012)



Prince
"Rock and Roll Love Affair" (2012 NPG Records)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


She believed in fairy tales and princes
He believed the voices coming from his stereo.
He believed in rock ‘n roll.
She left the past and those lily white fences
And headed out to Hollywood in
Search of her soul,
But she had to pay the toll, yes she did.
They were bound to find each other
He needed proof, she needed a brother
That’s when stars collide
When there's space for what you want
And your heart is open wide.

He gave up women for the stripes of the road,
And learned the meaning of grace,
That’s when his cup overflowed.
And she said: Hello!
He said: my faith keeps me from willing
But you know that I’m able
And if there's some room I'd like to sit at your table.
She says: it’s tight, but I think I can fit you in.

This kind of love don’t come from a prayer
Ain’t talking rebound, born of despair.
Yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
Two people in love, with nothing but the road ahead.

Oh yeah, oh oh.
Alright!
Oh oh oh ooh ooh.
Let’s go!

She believed in fairy tales and princes,
He believed in jazz, rhythm and blues
And this thing called soul,
He believed in rock ‘n roll.
She wanted to see her name appear on the big screen,
He just wanted to hear her scream his name.
Can you scream my name?
Do you know what I mean!

This kind of love don’t come from a prayer
Ain’t talking rebound, born of despair.
Yellow sun rising on their bodies in bed
Two people in love, with nothing but the road ahead.

Rock rock love affair (x3)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:


Another bride, another groom
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killin' that he's so willin'
For makin' whoopee

Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture that same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring

He's washin' dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks that's what you get folks
For makin' whoopee

Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee

She sits alone, most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy but she says, ?Is he??
He's makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, ?You'll pay six to her?

He says, ?Judge, suppose I fail?
Judge say, ?Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her?, yeah, I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin', makin', makin'

Thinking every silver bottle top potentially a star still

All the world loves people in love

Don't forget it. - LOVE

We won't make the promises that every lover makes

Only to find that all we've made are similar mistakes

No you and I won't wish for things

Like other lovers do

But let's cross our hearts and hope to die

If none of them come true 'cause


All the world loves lovers.

All the world loves people in love

Don't forget it. - LOVE

Don't forget it. - LOVE

Love whatever the price

All the world loves lovers.

All the world loves people in love

Don't forget it. - LOVE

Don't forget it. - LOVE

Madonna - Express Yourself (1989)



Madonna
"Express Yourself"
Album: Like a Prayer (1989 Sire/Warner)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


[Spoken:]
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this

[Chorus:]

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
(You'll never come down)

[chorus]

Long stem roses are the way to your heart
But he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you're not in bed
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right then move on
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better baby on your own
(Baby on your own)

[chorus]

Express yourself
(You've got to make him)
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

[Intermediate:]

And when you're gone he might regret it
Think about the love he once had
Try to carry on, but he just won't get it
He'll be back on his knees

To express himself
(You've got to make him)
Express himself
Hey hey

What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
(You'll never come down)

[intermediate]

So please

[chorus]

Express yourself
(You've got to make him)
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
Express yourself
(You've got to make him)
So you can respect yourself
Hey, hey
So if you want it right now, then make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

David Bowie - Where Are We Now? (2013)



David Bowie
"Where Are We Now?" (2013 EMI)

New song in ten years . Advance of his next album.

PROMO CLIP IMAGES:



LYRICS:


Had to get the train
From Potzdamer platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Dschungel
On Nurnberger strasse
A man lost in time near KaDeWe
Just walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Gross Bose Brucke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

Genesis - Abacab (1981)



Genesis
"Abacab"
Album: Abacab (1981 Charisma UK)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:

Look up on the wall, there on the floor,
Under the pillow, behind the door.
There's a crack in the mirror.
Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane.
Do you think I'm to blame?
Tell me do you think I'm to blame?

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) He's in anywhere.
(Abacab)

If you're wrapping up the world
'Cos you've taken someone elses girl,
When they turn on the pillow,
Even when they answer the telephone,
Don't you think that by now,
Tell me, don't you think that by now.

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) He's in anywhere.
(Abacab) Doesn't really care.

you want it, you got it, you gotta go
you want it, you got it, now you know

It's an illusion, It's a game,
Or reflection of someone else's name.
When you wake in the morning,
Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.

Well, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Now there's a hole in there somewhere.

(When they do it) you're never there.
(When they show it) you stop and stare.
(Abacab) he's in anywhere.
(Abacab)

Album: Chic (1977 Atlantic)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


Chorus
Everybody dance, do do do
Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do do do
Clap your hands, clap your hands

Music never lets you down
Puts a smile on your face
Any time, anyplace

Dancing helps relieve the pain
Soothes your mind
Makes you happy again

Listen to those dancing feet
Close your eyes and let go

But it don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing
Bop shoo wah, bop shoo wah
Bop shoo wah

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]

Spinning all around the floor
Just like Rogers and Astaire
Who found love without a care

Stepping to our favorite tune
The good times
Always end too soon

Everybody's dancing
Lift your feet
Have some fun

Come on, everybody
Get on your feet
Clap your hands
Everybody's screaming

[Repeat CHORUS 4x to fade]

The Rolling Stones
"Waiting on a Friend"
Album: Tattoo You (1981 Rolling Stones)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend

Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

Album: Understanding (1972 United Artists Records)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


Fellas I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute
You know, sometimes we have a tendencies, or should I say we forget
What a woman needs every now and then
That is, if you wanna keep your thing together
Listen to me now

Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better every day
Then you got to stay on your P's and Q's
If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

Oh I, oh I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, a woman gotta have it, I believe
She's gotta know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, every time boy
She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky grounds
Oh, yeah

Well, think it over, think it over my brother
Don't take for granted the smile on her face
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Maybe the girl might never say another word
But you gotta make sure that her voice is heard

Oh I, had a love, a true love and I lost it
I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me
Oh now a woman gotta have it, you got to give it to her
She's got to know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
She wanna know that she's not walkin' on shaky grounds
Yeah, oh oh

So if you got a love, and you wanna keep her
You got to give her what she wants when she wants it
Where she wants it and how she wants it, oh yeah
Every doggone time she feels she needs it
What I'm tryin' to say, a woman gotta have it
Hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it
