Silvio - Lyrics - Down In The Groove - Bob Dylan

Title: Silvio
Album: Down In The Groove
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Robert C Hunter, Bob Dylan

Lyric:
Stake my future on a hell of a past
Looks like tomorrow is coming on fast
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got
Seen better times, but who has not?

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
When I come knocking don't throw me no bone
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
If you don't like it you can leave me alone

I can snap my fingers and require the rain
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
And charm the whistle off an evening train

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

I give what I got until I got no more
I take what I get until I even the score
You know I love you and furthermore
When it's time to go you got an open door

I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain
You give something up for everything you gain
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain
Pay for your ticket and don't complain

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go, go
Find out something only dead men know

One of these days and it won't be long
Going down in the valley and sing my song
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know

Come on
Come on

Silver And Cold - Lyrics - Sing the Sorrow - Afi

Title: Silver And Cold
Album: Sing the Sorrow
Artist: Afi
Composer(s): Adam A Carson, Jade Errol Puget, David Paden Marchand, Hunter Lawrence Burgan

Lyric:
I, I came here by day
But I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
But now, it is silver and silent
It is silver and cold
You in somber resplendence, I hold

Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes
I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
Your sins into me
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one

Light, like the flutter of wings
Feel your hollow voice rushing
Into me as you're longing to sing
So I, I will paint you in silver
I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink

Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes
I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
Your sins into me
Your sins into me

Cold in life's throes
I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throes
I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throes
I'll fall asleep for you

Cold in life's throes
I only ask you turn
As you seep into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now

Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes
I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
Your sins into me
Your sins into me

Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes
I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
Your sins into me
Your sins into

Your sins into me
Your sins in to me
Oh my beautiful one

Diamonds And Pearls - Lyrics - Vinyl Confessions - Kansas

Title: Diamonds And Pearls
Album: Vinyl Confessions
Artist: Kansas
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
The stage is set, the race is on
To drink the cup 'til every drop is gone
And when you make it to the top
The hunger doesn't stop

You climb the ladder to success
The way the world defines it more or less
You find the grass is greener still
On someone else's hill

Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold
Soon fade away, empty and cold
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain

They say that pride's before the fall
The stakes are high, you know who takes it all
To make it through the needle's eye
You just can't live a lie

Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold
Soon fade away, empty and cold
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain

Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold
Soon fade away, empty and cold
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain

I Do It For You Jane - Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Title: I Do It For You Jane
Artist: Harry Chapin
Composer(s): Harry F. Chapin

Lyric:
I first heard you sing in the Empire Room
Your husky hum engulfed the gloom
And whatever mission that brought me there
Disappeared in the mist of your amber hair

You laughed and surrendered your gifts by degrees
But I was convinced that you spoke only to me
And my life turned on its hinge in that smoky club
As I ground out my past with my cigarette stub

Oh, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so
My kingdom is new but it's going to grow
Our castle will shimmer with silver and gold
My lady is lovely, you'll never grow old
And I offer this promise, this one thing I know
I do it for you, Jane, for I love you so

I left that town and went out on my own
I made my own kind of music as I juggled the phones
And all the while I worked, I was reaching towards a time
When I'd return to find you and finally make you mine

It took most of two years to do what must be done
Collect the pieces of the puzzle, you're the final one
I was shaking as I asked you and you know by now I guess
You made me happy ever after when you said, ?Yes?

Yes, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so
My kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow
Our castle, it shimmers with silver and gold
My lady is lovely, you'll never grow old
And I shout from the heavens, ?Hello there, down below?
I do it for you, Jane, for I love you so

If life could only stay the same but I guess it never does
But God, I still remember how excited I was
Feelings of power I'd never known before
But winning whets the appetite, I had to have more

Homes in New York and London, on the beach at Malibu
I bought one for each facet of woman in you
By then you had retired from singing to bring our baby home
And I was winging around the country and you found you were alone

Still, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so
Our kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow
Our castles all shimmer with silver and gold
But my lady is lonely, your smile is growing cold
As I search through the mists on the roads I must go
Where are you now, Jane? For I love you so

When The Sun Shone On Vetiver - Lyrics - Devendra Banhart

Title: When The Sun Shone On Vetiver
Artist: Devendra Banhart
Composer(s): Devendra Obi Banhart

Lyric:
When the sun shone on vetiver
When the sun shone on vetiver
When the sun shone down

Well, they're silver and they're gold
Well, they're silver and they're gold
Well, they're silver and they're cold

And I'm longing for the land
And I'm longing for their land
For nature's forgiving hand

And we're drifting and we're sailing
Now the sun aligns your legs
And your lips and arms and breasts

And the moon pulls wet Earth
And your branches crawl around my claws
And my leaves brush up against your arms

And we're dancing
In Thailand, my baby waits for me
In Graceland, my baby waits for me
In Spain land, my baby waits for me
In Ireland, my baby waits for me
In no lands, my baby waits for me
Wimpishly

Cold Dog Soup - Lyrics - Guy Clark

Title: Cold Dog Soup
Artist: Guy Clark
Composer(s): Guy Clark, Mark Sanders

Lyric:
William Butler Yeats in jeans
Got up to play guitar and sing
In some join in Mission Beach last night

At the door sat Tom Waits
In a pork pie hat and silver skates
Jugglin' three collection plates Jesus Christ

Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar
Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star
Can't remember where he parked his car
Or to whom he lost the keys

Full of angst and hillbilly haiku
What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do
Go on rhyme somethin' for 'em, man
Show him how you really feel

Ain't no money in poetry
That's what sets the poet free
I've had all the freedom I can stand

Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
Is all it takes to get me by
Fool my belly till the day I die
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

Ginsberg and Kerouac
Shootin' dice and playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar
With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it

And they sat in the back and drank for free
And rhymed orange with Rosalie
Now there's a pride of lions to draw to

Ain't no money in poetry
That's what sets the poet free
I've had all the freedom I can stand

Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
Is all it takes to get me by
Fool my belly till the day I die
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts - Lyrics - Joan Baez

Title: Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts
Artist: Joan Baez
Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Lyric:
The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

He moved across the mirrored room, "Set ?em up for everyone", he said
Then everyone commenced to do what
They've been doin' before he moved their heads
He walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
"Would you kindly tell me, Mister, what time the show begins?"
He moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts

Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs
Lily had two queens and she was hopin' for a third to match her pair
Outside the streets were fillin' up and the window was open wide
The gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts

Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine
He made his usual entrance lookin' oh, so dandy and so fine
With his bodyguards and his silver cane and every hair in place
He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
But his bodyguards and his silver cane
They were no match for the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown
She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear
"I'm sorry, darlin', that I'm late", but he didn't seem to hear
He was staring into space over at the Jack of Hearts

Well, I know I've seen that face somewhere
Big Jim was thinkin' to himself
Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But then the crowd began to stamp their feet
And the house lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who just drew up the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child
She had that certain something
It was a kind of a flash every time she smiled
She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life who took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined
The drilling in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin? could ever come between Lily and the king
No, nothing ever could except maybe the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife
She'd done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts

Lily took her dress off, buried it away
"Has your luck run out", she laughed at him
"I guess you must've known it would someday
Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint
I'm glad to see you're still alive and you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair
"There's something funny goin' on, I know, I can just feel it in the air"
He went to get the hangin' judge but the hangin' judge was drunk
And the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
But there was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

Lily had her arms around the man that she dearly loved to touch
She forgot all about the man she hated, who hounded her so much
"I've missed you so", she said to him and he thought she was sincere
But in the hallway he felt jealousy and fear
Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts

Well, no one knew the circumstance
But they say it happened pretty quick
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked
And Big Jim was standin' there, you couldn't say surprised
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

Two doors down and the boys finally made it through the wall
Cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul
And in the darkness of the riverbed, they waited on the ground
For one more member who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts

Well, the next day was hangin' day
And the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't even blink
And the hangin' judge was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a drink
And the only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts

Well, the cabaret was quiet now and a sign said, 'Closed for repair'
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair
She was thinkin' 'bout her father whom she very rarely saw
Thinkin' about Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts

Can'T Resist - Lyrics - Texas

Title: Can'T Resist
Artist: Texas
Composer(s): Brian Higgins, John Mcelhone, Sharleen Eugene Spiteri

Lyric:
I know I can't resist

I believe that you told me
A promise laced with lies
Such a tease as you hold me
There's hunger in your eyes

That's the way that I remember you
When the sun was high and the nights were cool
It seems that lately, I just dream of days
In the silver skies that I can't erase

I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

That's the way I remember
The summer sun was high
To the cold of November
I'm still in silver skies

That's the way that I remember you
When the sun was high and the nights were cool
It seems that lately, I just dream of days
In the silver skies that I can't erase

I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

I'm falling for your sentimental charms again
I'm finding it so hard to break it
But everytime the pleasure turns into pain
I'm more inclined to stand and take it

This is the way I remember you
The sun was high and the night was oh so cool
It's how I remember you

I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away

I know I can't resist
I know I can't resist
I know I can't resist

A Quest For The Crown - Lyrics - Falconer

Title: A Quest For The Crown
Artist: Falconer
Composer(s): Stefan E Weinerhall

Lyric:
Many men are sent on a quest for the crown
Searching all corners of the great land
The minstrel tries to sing as before
But, the jester, he laughs no more

Many men are sent on a mission of hope
Asking fortune-tellers and the wise men
Where the royal crown is to be found
Promising rewards in silver and gold and pounds

When the king returns from the crusades
There is no big welcome on the shore
As he hear the news of the missing crown
He shouts at the sky, "Have I ever let you down?"

The elderly call it a sign
As famine strikes the land
Caught in the grip
Of the reapers cold hand

The mission must succeed
Or the kingdom will fall
With it falls the future of us all

Many men are sent on a quest for the crown
Searching all corners of the great land
The minstrel tries to sing as before
But, the jester, he laughs no more

The elderly call it a sign
As famine strikes the land
Caught in the grip
Of the reapers cold hand

The mission must succeed
Or the kingdom will fall
With it falls the future of us all

No crystal ball manage to find
Guidance in their holy quest
God is the last hope for a nation
Of earth, stone and damnation

Many men are sent on a quest for the crown
Searching all corners of the great land
The minstrel tries to sing as before
But, the jester, he laughs no more

Many men are sent on a mission of hope
Asking fortune-tellers and the wise men
Where the royal crown is to be found
Promising rewards in silver and gold and pounds

Many men are sent on a quest for the crown
Searching all corners of the great land
The minstrel tries to sing as before
But, the jester, he laughs no more

Many years had passed since the king died
When one day a young boy looked down into the moat
Something was gleaming deep down
What could it be if not the king's crown

The World Is Lit By Lightning - Lyrics - Deacon Blue

Title: The World Is Lit By Lightning
Artist: Deacon Blue
Composer(s): R Ross, J Prime

Lyric:
So maybe you're standing
In some foreign town
You've walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down

And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached and split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up

Maybe I'm sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages

Maybe I'm reminded
By a shop window displays or a decoration
Like some church candle
That might just burn, might just burn

'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you?

So you're ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do colored lights
Become paint and glass, and dust?

How I wonder
What light to trust
The light of the distance
Or the light might just burn, might just burn?

'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
We caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
I keep telling you, I keep telling you?

We're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
We're caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning?

Seraphim and cherubim
Skies full of gold dust
Moonshine and starlight
Pockets full of rainbows

Windows and mirrored balls
Porcelain and silver lake
Dance hall, neons flash and swing
Blow out your candles

It will call you
Angel, angel
Angel, angel, angel
When the world knows your name

We're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you?

We're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you?

I love you, I love you
When the world, when the world
When the world knows your name
When the world, when the world
When the world knows your name

When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name
When the world knows your name

We're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you

Why is it girl

Street Life - Lyrics - B.B. King

Title: Street Life
Artist: B.B. King
Composer(s): Joe Sample, Will Jennings

Lyric:
I still hang around
Neither lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound
Of music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me, yeah

I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only life I know
Street life and there's a thousand cards to play
Street life, until you play your life away

You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you sang
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress and walk and talk
You're who you think you are

Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
Beneath the silver moon

Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life

I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only life I know
Street life and there's a thousand cards to play
Street life, until you play your life away

You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you sang
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress and walk and talk
You're who you think you are

Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
Beneath the silver moon

Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life
Oh, street life
Yeah, street life
Street life
Oh, street life

What I Represent (Ugk) - Lyrics - Trill - Bun B

Title: What I Represent (Ugk)
Album: Trill
Artist: Bun B
Composer(s): Byron Thomas, Bernard Freeman

Lyric:
The, the underground, the, the underground
The, the underground, the, the, the underground
This is the, the underground, the, the underground
The, the, the underground, the, the underground

Now this one here for everybody out there off the top
This for the real slab swangas whipping dubs and drops
For the real block huggers that's embracing the grind
And the three time fellas that be facing some time

For them real deep boys that be baking and serving
And them real hood hustlas that be shaking and swerving
For them real cut throwers putting work in on the average
And trill ass niggaz living they life like a savage

A lot of niggaz hold it down for they set it
And when the work comes easy and when the game ain't ready
Niggaz they really rep they're neighborhood good or bad
Niggaz that really be on the block throwing signs and flags

Well, I'm here to represent for all the gangstas and the thugs
And the underdog niggaz that ain't getting no love
For a nigga trying' to make a weight for him and his crew
Just recognize, I'm representing for you, and nigga that's on the true

I'ma sell my dope, I'ma bust my guns
I'ma fuck my hoes, I'ma stack my ones
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the underground)

I'ma smoke my good, I'ma sip my drink
I'ma grip my grain, I'ma drip my paint
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the, the underground)

Now, everybody wanna act like they already got it made
With the houses and the cars and the bills all paid
Got a million in the bank and two million in jewels
But on the cool, life ain't like that for a lot of these fools

Lot of people in this world coming up pretty hard
Raised in project apartments, with no front yard
Had to share their clothes and shoes with cousins and brothers
Never had they own shit, they had to share it with others

I wasn't born with a silver spoon sticking out my grill
I was raised in the middle of the struggle on the real
Had some hard times in my life, trying to make ends meet
Not to mention, trying not to fall victim to the streets

Against the odds, a nigga made it out the game
But that don't mean that I'm gunna forget about from where I came
UGK ain't just a name, it's what a nigga is
I was there before I got in the biz and nigga that's on the rizz

I'ma sell my dope, I'ma bust my guns
I'ma fuck my hoes, I'ma stack my ones
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the underground)

I'ma smoke my good, I'ma sip my drink
I'ma grip my grain, I'ma drip my paint
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the, the underground)

Now people always be around when you shining and balling
But they real hard to find when tough times come calling
You got money, doing good, and they be all in your face
Then disappear like Sue Storm soon as you catch a case

It's like clockwork homeboy, the shit never fails
Soon as they think the party's over, everybody bails
Could a sworn they was your friends when your world was on shine
But soon as you get some time, outta sight, outta mind

It's a shame that some real ass niggaz took a fall
It's a shame how they treat you when you locked behind the wall
When your woman won't visit and your homie won't send you no flicks
Or come and see you, that's some cold ass shit

Well I miss my nigga, he was down for me
That's why I got the whole world screaming," Free Pimp C"
And I'll be right here waiting when you touch back down
UGK we still holding the crown, kings of the underground

I'ma sell my dope, I'ma bust my guns
I'ma fuck my hoes, I'ma stack my ones
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the underground)

I'ma smoke my good, I'ma sip my drink
I'ma grip my grain, I'ma drip my paint
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the, the underground)

I'ma sell my dope, I'ma bust my guns
I'ma fuck my hoes, I'ma stack my ones
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?
(The, the underground)

I'ma smoke my good, I'ma sip my drink
I'ma grip my grain, I'ma drip my paint
What I represent?
(The, the underground, the, the underground)
What I represent?

Juggler'S Song - Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Title: Juggler'S Song
Artist: Incredible String Band
Composer(s): Michael Jagger, Keith Richards

Lyric:
Gather round friends and I'll show you what I made
Something in my bag that'll surprise you all
It's a secret, don't push, I'm not ready
Something to dazzle your eyes, oh

Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today

The first little ball is red and green
Oh, it's pretty, yes, I know what you mean
I call it substance, do dio dio do
And what it will do I just don't know

But the trees may whisper and the hills may grow
While it's changing

The first and only juggler, I must be the best
I love to see the rings spin, never at rest
Up in the air and back to me
What it will do, I just can't see

Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today

The next little ball is silver and black
See, it chase the first one forward and back
I call it space, do dio dio do
What it will do, I just don't know

But it seems to make a difference just to have it so
While it's changing

The next little ball is too hot to hold
I have to keep tossing it and I hope it gets cold
I call it power, do dio dio dio
What it will do, I just don't know

But it seems to make the whole thingummywhojemyflippery
Rattle and go while it's changing

The first and only juggler, I must be the best
I love to see the rings spin, never at rest
Up in the air and back to me
What it will do, I just can't see

Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today

The next little ball is orange and blue
I can't juggle four so I'll toss it to you
And I call it time

Silver, Blue &Amp; Gold - Lyrics - Run With The Pack - Bad Company

Title: Silver, Blue &Amp; Gold
Album: Run With The Pack
Artist: Bad Company
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers

Lyric:
In the beginning
I believed every word that you said
Now that you're gone
My world is in shreds

Oh, you loved me and left me
You took all the things that I needed so bad
I'm standin' here wondering
Where is the love that I had

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky, I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

In the beginning
There was something of love that was mine
Now that it's gone
Whoa, I'm cryin'

Oh, the time that it takes for a love to grow cold
Is a wonder to me
I'm walkin' around with my head hangin' down
Tell me where is she

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky, I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

Oh, don't forsake me 'cause I love you
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky, I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky, I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky, I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

Oh, don't forsake me 'cause I love you
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you

Ornaments Of Gold - Lyrics - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Title: Ornaments Of Gold
Artist: Siouxsie And The Banshees
Composer(s): Steve Severin, Sue Ballion, Peter Clarke

Lyric:
Silver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels

Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
To warm my soul from the growing cold
Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Anointed by intoxicating oils

Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendor drips with jewels that are so beautiful
And ornaments of gold
Warm my soul from the growing cold

Adorable, rewardable you
From head to toe, I'd love to cover you
And smother you in ornaments of gold
In honeydew, I'd love to cover you

Oh lover do bring
Ornaments of gold
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
Ornaments of gold
Ornaments of gold

Quit Hatin' The South - Lyrics - Underground Kingz - Ugk

Title: Quit Hatin' The South
Album: Underground Kingz
Artist: Ugk
Composer(s): Willie Dennis, Bernard James Freeman, Benny Latimore, Chad L Butler

Lyric:
Uh, it's really goin' down in the South bitch
Yeah nigga, we know hip hop and rap
And all that shit started in the motherfuckin' East

Know I'm sayin'? Then it went to the West coast
And they did it a little bit better
Know I'm sayin'? But now it's our time
To shine down here nigga

Know I'm sayin'? So since y'all niggaz keep sayin'
We ain't real hip hop down here
We don't wanna be down with you bitch ass niggaz

So y'all stay up there with that bullshit
This country rap tunes down here nigga
Young Pimp, Young Bun, Underground Kingz

All the O.G.'s that's recognizin' the real
I got love for y'all but all you bitch ass niggaz
Talkin' down in ya records, you can eat a dick
Hold up

Pushin' cocaine, servin' pounds of weed
Steady stayin' on the grind
Pussy nigga can't say he ain't hatin' me
Because if you did, then you wouldn't be lyin'

But how in the hell am I supposed to respect the man?
That talk down on every song
You steady actin' like a bitch, you steady cryin' your eyes out
Say my name pussy nigga, we can get the shit on, on, ooh yeah

Quit hatin' the South, baby
We gettin' paper in the South, gettin' money
Quit hatin' the South, baby
Quit hatin' the South

Well, it's been a long time my nigga, I shouldn't have left you
When I some real trill shit to go left to
Gotta lot of respect fool, for the ones before me
But when my time came they act like they ain't know me

I've been down with rap music since Cold Crush and Melle
Before MTV put Run-D.M.C. on the tele
Back when Whodini tried to tell ya about ya friends
Nigga I was givin' rap all my time and my ends

Bought damn near every record the motherfucker dropped
West coast gangsta music, East coast hip hop
Now it's our time to shine and the tables is turned
Them motherfuckers aggravated 'cause we gettin' some burn

There's no room for everybody, just a few niggaz is swole
Probably 'cause they favorite rappers ain't in control
But just let go of the past 'cause it's hurtin' your hands
And pass it over to the next generation of fans

And quit hatin' the South, baby
We gettin' paper in the South, getting' money
Quit hatin' the South, baby
Quit hatin' the South

I'm blastin' off on you hoes like NASA
You double standards and hypocrisy remind me of Massa
We ain't good enough to eat at ya table but when ya dick get hard
You wanna run up with [Incomprehensible]

I from the get coke but I'm still clockin' figures
Bitch hoe cock suckin' nigga
And that goes for all you visitors too
If you don't like it down here, get the fuck on fool

They say you can't rap and they questionin' our intellect
Friendly ass niggaz jumpin' bad on the Internet
Ain't nobody typin' that much can't be a danger
Catch you in person, bitch I'll break yo' fingers

It's some trash in the South but I promise you
From the East to the West, some of y'all garbage too
As long as the beat knock and the lyrics hot, son
I can give a rat's ass where a rap is from

I remember N.W.A. and PE
Had me feelin' like a rapper was the thing to be
You can't fuck with Willie D, UGK either
Disrespectin' the code, does motherfuckers neither

Quit hatin' the South, baby
We gettin' paper in the South, gettin' money

To all the radio, TV and even the press
Been hatin' on the Sizz-outh like we ain't impress
Y'all think we came in the place, say man we came in the state
Y'all shoulda listened to Andre, bitch we got somethin' to say

And all you washed up rappers, you ain't what it's about
I see y'all tryin' rap like us and puttin' grills in ya mouth
Y'all buy the beat, buy the beat like y'all bouncin' and twerkin'
But hoe we know what's goin' on and bitch that bullshit ain't workin'

I'ma O.G. Rock Ball, write my name up on the wall
Fuck yo' bitch and hit the switch and put my dick up in her jaw
I'm Sweet Jones, fucked a clone, legend on the microphone
Player's choice, silver Royce, keep yo' bitch's pussy moist

I'm bumped the school, that's how I do, sippin' drank, each teen night
In Benz, big blue lens, knock this bitch and fuck with her friend
Candy cart, squeeze 'em out, bought the ranch man fuck the house
And y'all still gotta buy y'all dope from us
So what the fuck you bitch niggaz talkin' 'bout?

All you ole sensitive ass niggaz, know I'm talkin' 'bout?
Y'all niggaz on y'all period up there bitch
Know I'm talkin' 'bout? Y'all hide behind them e-mail addresses
Sendin' that bullshit through the air

Bitch, say my name bitch, I'ma come to ya house
Fuck how you feel, country rap tunes nigga
They put all y'all records on one side of the store
And put all the country rap music on the other side of the store
And see who sell out first

Bitch ass nigga, it's ya own fault ya shit ain't sellin'
You reap what you sew and fuck you in ya pussy
Keep talkin' that shit
Them young gladiators go come get you too partner

Already, UGK for life, fuck how you feel about it bitch

Lyric:
Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Open yourself to the first celebration
Open your eyes to the joy and pain
Life is the fruit of your own creation
Every new birth is a soul regained

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Drinkin' my life from a silver fountain
Sweet water running to the cold salt sea
Old man moon on a white top mountain
Sound of the wind singin' dreams for me

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Follow your heart like a flying stallion
Race with the sun to the edge of night
Form your truth like a gold medallion
Dance in the circle of the love and the light

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it

Come and play the game with me

You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Love is everywhere, I see it
You are all that you can be, go on and be it
Life is perfect, I believe it
Come and play the game with me

Love is everywhere, I see it
