George Ivan Morrison - It Hurts Me Too
It Hurts Me Too lyrics
Van Morrison
Been turned over
Can't see my child
Is it any wonder that
I've got a troubled mind?
When things go wrong
It just ain't right
And it hurts me too (hurts me too)
I pray to God above that
My baby's gonna be alright
I pray mornin', noon
Mornin', noon and night
When things go wrong
Just ain't right
And it hurts me too (hurts me too)
I've been to the Court of Appeal
I've been back to the High
My bank account keeps on gettin' drained dry
And things go wrong
Gotta keep up the fight
But it hurts me too
Yeah, it hurts me too, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
There's too many pigs feedin'
Feedin' out of the same trough
Will it ever get to the stage
When enough is enough?
When things go wrong
Gotta call their bluff
Even if it hurts me too
Even if it hurts me too
I've been to the Court of Appeal
I've been right back to the High
My bank account is always bein' sucked dry
When things go wrong
Gotta fight, gotta fight
Even if it hurts me too
Even if it hurts me too, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hurts me too)
When things go wrong, I know it ain't right
Then it hurts me too
It hurts me too, yeah
Elvis Costello - Jump Up
Jump Up
Everybody's talking like they can't sit down
And looking like they can't stand up
It must be the latest style
And they've seen a lot of things that you never see
Back on the mile up to the hanging tree
Some people can't keep their fingers clean
Just clicking their heels to the beat of the scene
Trying to keep careen until the first edition of last night's obituaries
Jump up--hold on tight
Can't trust the promise or a guarantee
'Cause the man 'round the curve says that he's never heard
Of you or me
No tombstone would ever surprise me
When I'm locked in a room about half the size of a matchbox
Got holes in my socks
They match the ones that I got in my feet
I put my feet in the holes in the street and somebody paved me over
I was a statue standing on the corner
Tell me, how else can a boy get to see those pretty pleats?
Candidate talkin' on the radio from the "Cheaters Jamboree"
It must be their latest fool
'Cause it's a two-horse race and he changed his bets
Like it was just another brand of cigarettes
Some people judge and they just guess the rest
They can't understand that don't mean that you're blessed
They ought to catch the Express Next Stop No Where
That way you can forget
Jump up--hold on tight
Can't trust the promise or a guarantee
'Cause the man 'round the curve says that he's never heard
Of you or me
The Phantom Of The Opera - The Point Of No Return
Jeff Lynne - The Point Of No Return
Point of No Return (Unreleased)
By the time I'd slipped the ball and chain
I was flying down the road again
I was heading for somewhere I shouldn't be
And I heard you shouting me to wait
Better turn back now or it's too late
'Cause it's getting to the point of no return
No return
No return
It was getting to the point of no return
We could only run, we could never walk
We could only shout, we could never talk
We were living way too close to the borderline
While the city boys were hangin' out
Tryna clean their shares in a laundromat
It was getting to the point of no return
No return
No return
It was getting to the point of no return
I just had to leave, couldn't stay no more
Down the elevator to the door
It was getting to the point of no return
No return
No return
It was getting to the point of no return
No return
No return
It was getting to the point of no return
It was getting to the point of no return
It was getting to the point of no return
Elvis Costello, Louis Jordan - Point Of No Return
Point Of No Return lyrics
Well, I said that once upon a time
I didn't need you so
But it would have been so easy then
For me to turn and go
But now there's no leavin' you
I know that for a fact
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turning back
I told myself you'd always be
A habit I could break
But now a day without your kiss
Would be so hard to take
You just can't get off a train
That's movin' down the track
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turning back
Once I could have said "goodbye"
But that was at the start
Now I think I'd rather die
Than be the one to say "We'll part"
Maybe you will break my heart
Maybe you'll be true
No matter how the future brings
I've got to see it through
Maybe your love for me is nothin' but an act
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turnin' back
Maybe you will break my heart
Or maybe you'll be true
No matter what the future brings
I've got to see it through
Maybe your love for me is nothin' but an act
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turnin' back
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turnin' back
I'm at the point of no return
And for me there'll be no turnin' back
Elvis Costello, Erich Sellheim, Juanes - Pump It Up
"Pump It Up" lyrics
I've been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list'ning to the Muzak,
thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
She said that's that.
I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit
or turn it down flat.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand
that she wouldn't understand.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
She's been a bad girl.
She's like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,
she's like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her,
putting up your temp'rature.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission,
hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
George Ivan Morrison - Everyone
Everyone lyrics
Van Morrison
We shall walk again
All along the lane
Down the avenue
Just like we used to do
With our heads so high
Smile at the passers-by
And we'll softly sigh
Ay, ay, ay
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
By the winding stream
We shall lie and dream
We'll make dreams come true
If we want them to
Yes, all will come
Play the pipes and drum
Sing a happy song
And we'll sing along
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
We shall walk again
All along down the lane
Down the avenue
Just like we used to do
With our heads so high
Smile at passers by
And we'll softly sigh
Ay, ay, ay
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Elvis Costello - From Head To Toe
We also have the original Head To Toe by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.
"From Head To Toe" Lyrics
Oh, well, now you're the girl I'm simply mad about.
Oh yes, I'm really glad it's been me. Oh yeah.
I hope that you've been getting ready,
'Cause I'm gonna ask you to go steady with me.
I got two eyes that happened by ya,
And when they saw you, they said they knew you were fine.
I got two lips that long to kiss you,
And when they speak, they say they wish you were mine.
Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe.
Oh, I got a little heart inside me beating
And when it speaks it keeps repeating your name all the time.
You better watch out 'cause of what I say
Cause baby, don't you know that I ain't playing a game?
Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe.
All the way down from the top to the ground, sweet baby.
I got two legs and I got two feet that always take me to your street
Everyday, all the time.
No matter which way I try to go, my legs and my feet
They seem to know the way.
Hey, sweet baby, oh don't you know that I am yours from head to toe.
All the way down from the top to the ground. Hey, sweet baby.
I am yours from head to toe. Sweet baby.
The Band - The Unfaithful Servant
"The Unfaithful Servant" lyrics
Unfaithful servant, I hear you're leavin' soon in the mornin'
What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?
Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry,
If you done it just for the spite, or did you do it just for the glory?
Like a stranger you turned your back,
Left your keep and gone to pack
But bear in mind who's to blame for all the shame
She really cared
The time she spared
And the home you shared
Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin',
Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be a-goin'
Need us not bow our heads, for we won't be complainin'
Life has been good to us all, even when that sky is rainin'
To take it like a grain of salt,
Is all I can do and it's no one's fault
It makes no diff'rence if we fade away
It's just as it was
And it's much to cold for me to stay
Goodbye to that country home, so long, lady I have known,
Farewell to my other side, I'd best just take it in stride
Unfaithful servant, you'll learn to find your place
I can see it in your smile, and, yes, I can see it in your face
The mem'ries will linger on,
But the good old days, they're all gone
Oh, lonesome servant, can't you see,
We're still one and the same
Just you and me
