More song lyrics 8

You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams
Doing nothing
Standing, like to seem casual
With a resemblance to people held by fear
Lit by fire and disrepair
The blue millionaire
Don't listen and keep asking
Only stories reach this far
No one's left and no one's coming
And I will disappear far away from you
The American wind and the blue millionaire

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin away

I knew a man
Became from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said "Delores, I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
I'm afraid I will disappear "

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away
Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with

Early in the morning, rising to the street
Light me up a cigarette and I strap shoes to my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason all my money's gone
I've go a dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother f** riot
Well life is too short, so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with a bullet proof vest
Take a small example, take a hint from me
Take all your money and give it yo charity
Love is that I got
Love is what I got

Blue is the colour of my true loves eyes
in the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time
Oh that's the time
I love her best...

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precious and she knows just
What it will take to make you blush
She's got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis Eyes

… In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
… You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
… In your eyes , I can see the reasons why our love's alive
You and I , we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

You've long been on the open road
You've been sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
You're clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words, the mud of cells
Will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself
And you'll be off again
Oh take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hard and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Looking for the evening
And the morning in your eyes

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants yo stay for awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have named you
You are so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

She's Venus in blue jeans
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel, too
A fairy tale come true

Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboyboots
And I'm going to tell you where I come from tell you something about my roots
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? (Ah)

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

Now nothing seems as strange as
When the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song again, I'll start to sing along
And think how I'd love to see that girl again

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sippin whiskey out the bottle, not thinking of tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Those were the days my friend
I thought they’d never end

Sorry, forgot the rest

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

I'm a walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me
To end this misery
And I wonder, wo wo wo wo wonder,
Why, why, why, why, why, why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay ay ?
My little runaway, run, run, run, run, runaway.

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself "you're such a lucky guy "
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

I'm in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It's a glamorous world

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...

Yea though we ventured through the valley of the stars
You in all your jewelry and my bleeding heart
Who couldn't be together and who could not be apart
We should've jumped out of that airplane after all
Flying sky ways overhead it wasn't hard to fall
And I had so many crashes that I couldn't feel at all

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again

Time might break you, god forsake you
Leave you burnt and bruised
Innocence will teach you what it feels like to be used
Thought that you'd done everything, you didn't have a clue

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again

Looking from the outside in
Some things never change

Hey hey I'm a million miles away
Funny how it seems like yesterday

All those fake celebrities and all those vicious queens
All the stupid papers and the stupid magazines
Sweet dreams are made of anything
That gets you in the scene

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Yes it feels like I'm seventeen again
Seventeen, seventeen again yeah yeah yeah

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
I travelled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something, yeah
