New Lyrics


The daily routine takes your soul,
Lost without a trace
It hold you down and turns you 'round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar
Another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
In the endless race

Hold On...I think it is by Triumph?

this one should be easy...I got sooooooo sick of it since they played it to death when it came out (Not as bad as Celine Dion her 'Titanic' songs though)

Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

New Lyrics

Doctor, doctor
We have nothing in our pockets
We continue
But we have nothing left to offer
Faces pressed against the window
Hey...they are just my friends
Check this out, don't be so slick
Break our backs, it goes like this

 

[cheesy80s]

Huh?

Your first line has me singing Doctor! Doctor! by Thompson Twins...but that's not the song you wrote.


So, here's mine:

"Last night I had the strangest dream. I sailed away to China in a little rowboat to find ya, but you said you had to get your laundry clean. Didn't want no one to hold you, now what does that mean?"

Here are some more!

the temperature's about 88
hop in the water plug just for old times sake
break to ya crib change your clothes once more
cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
and as I think back makes me wonder how
the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia...


Easy, easy, easy.

[cheesy80s]

Okay...some of you guys like quoting the B-sides. I'm an A-side cheese myself, so here's one that I think is a little bit more challenging than a top 40 song....

"I thought I knew you well, but all this time I could never tell
I let you get away, haunts me every night and every day.
You were the only one, the only friend I could count on
How could I watch oyou walk away, i'd give anything to have you here today.
But now I stand alone with my pride, and dream that you're still by my side....."

Very good, man with the penis pic....

I keep telling myself, "size doesn't matter, size doesn't matter" when I see your pic. Asshole.

Just kidding.

Anyway....here's another

"look at what you're doin to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All my defenses down.....
Your camera looks through me
With its x-ray vision
All systems run aground......
All I can manage to push from my lips
is a string of absurdities
every word I intended to speak
Winds up locked in the circuitry...."

new Lyrics

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Could face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

New Lyrics

in the valley lies the treasure
and the lady guards it well
he who bears all the pressure
is the one to break the spell
there's a sign that I've followed
and it has led me to your seat
I have brought my fallen brother
and I've laid him, yes I've laid him
at your feet

Lady of the valley by White Lion


Try this...

Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two
Mama don't know what I got in store for you
But that's all right 'cause we're looking as cool as can be

Well, we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put the quarter right into that can
But all they played was disco, man
Come on, baby, baby, let's get outta here right away

And I guess Stray Cats : Rock This Town



I don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to get there,
All I know is, I'm just going
I ran away from home last night, gone forever
I was running for my life
And I've heard the words of what I should be
Live, Work, Die, I am the orphan of the night
