Posted by hollyh So the story begins As he searched for paradise Thinking it was a place Instead of a state of mind He asked the way from the wise As they smiled and they turned away Faded into the mist on a perfect summer's day When someone big in your life is suddenly whisked away All those terrible tears Empty and lonely days Was it something you said? you wonder Then softly pray Set me free, let me go, let my spirit live again What's my life for? Can I make more of love than love has made of me? Oh, this life seems Made of strange dreams Adrift on imagination sea What's my life for? Can I make more of love than love has made of me? Oh, this life seems Made of strange dreams Adrift on imagination sea One more kiss on the cheek And you are a child again The unconditional love That cures you of every pain Finding someone to trust With feelings you've found again They're buried deep in your heart Let your spirit live again And what's my life for? Can I make more of love than love has made of me? Oh, this life seems Made of strange dreams Adrift on imagination sea. < -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In My Dreams Album: Based on a True Story.

Posted by hollyh In times like these, it's good to have a friend In times like these, on whom you can depend on For a helping hand, now isn't it grand? When folks next door help you raise a smile Makes you forget your troubles for a while Now that's what friends are for I've told you before And when the money doesn't go far We end up drinking out of jam jars When there's no meat on the table We live as well as we are able It's just not true that we are all alone It's just not true, 'cause someone must have done it to Somebody else, or else you wouldn't be here. Do I make myself clear? And when the money doesn't go far) We end up drinking out of jam jars When there's no meat on the table We live as well as we are able In times like these, it's good to have a friend In times like these, on whom you can depend on For a helping hand (a helping hand) For a helping hand (a helping hand) For a helping hand, isn't it grand? We all need a helping hand. < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Put a Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins Posted by hollyh I put a spell on you Because you're mine You better stop the things that you do I ain't lyin' No, I ain't lyin' I just can't stand it babe The way you're always running round I just can't stand it The way you always put me down I put a spell on you Because you're mine I put a spell on you Because you're mine You'd better stop the things that you do No, no I ain't lying I said I ain't lying I just can't stand it babe The way you're always tryin' to put me down I just can't stand it The way you're always running 'round I put a spell on you Because you're mine Because you're mine I said I love you, I love you, I love you Oh baby how And I don't care if you don't want me I said I'm yours, I'm yours right now I put a spell on you Because you're mine I put a spell on you I just can't stand it, the way you're always tryin' to put me down I put a spell on you I put a spell, I put a spell on you... < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is It Right? By Theodore Thunder/David Rose Album: Alan Price. Posted by hollyh Flowers are still in bloom The garden is out of tune Summer has been and gone But still all the flowers are lingering on Like the weather you come and go And where you come from nobody knows Alll my friends say what a hopeless mess I'm in And all I ever do is cry I can't remember some of the places I've been And I don't even know some of the faces I've seen Is it wrong, wrong, wrong, or is it right? I just can't tell you It takes a long, long time To get it right I just can't wait that long Come on, girl, you know I'm blue I've got my sense of direction following you Like the weather you come and go And where you're comin'g from nobody knows I can't remember some of the places I've been And I don't even know some of the faces I've seen Is it wrong, wrong, wrong or is it right? How can I make you be my light My sunshine every day Why do I feel so blue Is it because we're through I think it's down to you 'Cos somehow I'm hoping my dreams maybe are gonna come true < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Not Easy Album: Metropolitan Man. Posted by JJean It's not easy to explain Why it's hard for me to refrain For hurting you and searching for some feeling If I knew myslf so well It would be easier to tell Why hurting you would help me face the feeling Life is so short and time is too long To spend on mistakes when we know it's wrong We must never say goodbye We must look fate in the eye I'm hurting you and searching for some feeling Life is to know and find what is real Excuse me revealing those lines that I feel It's not easy on your own When all around you friends have known Your life was built on selfish preservation And behind the smile you wear Is a heart that tried to care And a soul too much involved with sweet sensation. < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Not Hard [size+x-small]Album: Based On A True Story. Posted by hollyh[/size] It's not hard to believe That the sun will always rise That the moon will take its place And that the stars will stand in line It's not hard to believe That the wind will move the trees That the wind will bring the rain And wealth will bring you to your knees We're unsuspecting victims of eternal circumstance We're only broken pieces in this crazy game of chance It's not hard to imagine That the sea will break to shore That whatever used to be Will be changed forevermore It's not hard to remember When the times they were so good We must always remember That after rain there is a flood We're unsuspecting victims of eternal circumstance We're only broken pieces in this crazy game of chance Underneath the surface you have peeled When your true existence is revealed From the outer skin down to the core The "you" you are will be the same forevermore. It's not hard to believe That the sun will always rise That the moon will take its place And that the stars will stand in line It's not hard to believe That the wind will move the trees That the wind will bring the rain And wealth will bring you to your knees. We're unsuspecting victims of eternal circumstance We're only broken pieces in this crazy game of chance. < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've Been Hurt Album: Alan Price. Posted by hollyh I've been hurt, been made to feel so bad I've been accused of sins I've never had I've been told how to organise my life I've seen blood but I never held the knife I've been hurt, been made to feel so bad I've been used, manipulated's what I've been I've been cursed by a mean old gypsy queen I've been told I've wrecked a dozen lives or more I was innocent, 'cos I didn't know the score I've been used, manipulated's what I've been. Now tell 'em what I mean.. [instrumental break] I've been fooled, but I won't be used again I'll be cool, no Pavlov's dog inside my brain I remember what she done to me I will taste the fruit long before I buy the tree I've been fooled, but I won't be fooled again. I've been hurt, I've been hurt, I've been hurt.... < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Wanna Dance Album: Alan Price. Posted by hollyh It might be because we're under southern stars Or under a moon that shines for hours and hours Maybe it's just because a girl like you Can make me do anything that I wanna do I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know Oh, let's leave the others and we'll dance alone Darlin', I want you for my very own Down on the beach by the rolling sea It's amazing what the music can free in me I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know I wanna dance I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know Oh, a little more food and a glass more wine I may be anybody's but at least you're mine It's a shame that a day like this will have to end But please remember me because I'll always need a friend I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know <
