More song lyrics 6

I can't stop running to you,
Feel love coming through you
Girl, with you beside me,
Hold on heaven guide me
Red light spells danger,
Can't hold out much longer
'Cause red light means warning,
Can't hold out I'm burning

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Red light, green light,
Speeding through the dark night,
Driving through the pounding rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield wiper splishing, splashing,
Calling out her name
Just gotta see Jane

Lady Honoria, I had to look up the source of that lyric you just posted. It was so good!

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train, and
You came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards

Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Eat an apple every day,
Get to bed by three,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name, but I knew just who they meant

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head
All night long
You didn't come just to see the show
I guess you know what you wanna see
The way you smile let's me know I can't go wrong

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now (come to me now)
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room (such a cozy room)
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum, she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by, don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there's you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine;
this is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine:
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine.

Mother, mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father, father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'Cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on

'Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swellin'
Sweet William on his death bed lay
For love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwellin'
Saying, "You must come to my master, dear
If your name be Barbara Allen"
So slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she drew nigh him
And the only words to him did say
"Young man, I think you're dying"
He turned his face unto the wall
And death was in him wellin'
"Goodbye, goodbye to my friends all
Be good to Barbara Allen"
When he was dead and laid in grave
She heard the death bells knellin'
And every stroke to her did say
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen"
"Oh, mother, oh, mother, go dig my grave
Make it both long and narrow
Sweet William died of love for me
And I will die of sorrow"
"And father, oh, father, go dig my grave
Make it both long and narrow
Sweet William died on yesterday
And I will die tomorrow"
Barbara Allen was buried in the old churchyard
Sweet William was buried beside her
Out of sweet William's heart there grew a rose
Out of Barbara Allen's, a briar
They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Till they could grow no higher
At the end they formed a true lover's knot
And the rose grew 'round the briar

Went to a dance, lookin' for romance
Saw Barbara Ann, so I thought I'd take a chance
With Barbara Ann
Ba ba, ba Barbara Ann
Take my hand
You got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Rockin' and a-reelin'
Barbara Ann
Ba ba, ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba, ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba, ba Barbara Ann

I can't stand still 'cause you've got me goin'
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Your slacks are low, and your hips are showin'
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
I thank you girl as you're standing there
Your low-cut slacks and your long black hair
I want you going, I want no one else
'Cause when I'm with you, I can't control myself

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself, I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My hopes, my dreams come true
My life, I'd give for you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything
My heart I can't control
You rule my very soul
My only prayer will be
Some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said pretend you've got no money
She just laughed and said
Oh you're so funny
I said; yeah
I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?

Tell me is it really true
This feelin' that I feel for you
Your own kind of lovin' that makes me think
Nothing could ever take the place of you
And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along, singin' a song
Side by side
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load
Side by side

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore
