Queen - Play The Game
"Play The Game" Lyrics
Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy
When you know the rules
It's so easy,
All you have to do
Is fall in love
Play the game,
Everybody play the game of love (yeah)
When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game,
Everybody play the game of love
My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins (play the game)
Driving me insane
Come, come, come, come, come play the game, play the game, play the game, play the game
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love
This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free, free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Play the game of love
Your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free, free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Play the game of love, of love
Elvis Costello - Magnificent Hurt
"Magnificent Hurt" Lyrics
After talking in tongues I began to preach
What falls from the branch is an apple or peach
Hold on to me there's a red alert
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
I took a little walk, I took another stimulant
I shed a single tear for my predicament
Don't act surprised or insolent
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
When we first met, I knew you were beautiful
You fit like the seat of a blue mohair suit
And the pain that I felt let me know I'm alive
And I opened my heart
To the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
I speak low and intimate
Like a cardboard sophisticate
What if this is true love?
Not some town hall certificate
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
I stood at the door, and I almost went through with it
Tight as the angle of my amen
And I swore there and then as I feign and I flirt
I unbuttoned my shirt
To the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
To the way you make me feel, magnificent hurt
It's the way you make me feel
It's the way you make me feel, magnificent
Elvis Costello - Lip Service
"Lip Service" Lyrics
You left the motor running.
But I know you're so attractive.
Getting in some sharp practice.
You better not do anything reckless.
But everybody is going through the motions.
Everybody is going through the motions.
Are you really only going through the motions?
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
Don't make any sudden movements.
These are dangerous amusements.
When did you become so choosy?
Don't act like you're above me;
just look at your shoes.
[Repeat bridge and chorus]
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send a little letter to me
George Ivan Morrison - You Don't Understand
You Don’t Understand lyrics
You don't understand
How hard it could be for one man
You don't understand
How I was taken in
You don't wanna know that there's evil in the land
You don't understand
How bad people can be
What happened to me
You don't understand
The skulduggery about
You don't believe
You don't believe how bad it can be
'Cause you don't wanna see
What's happened to me
What they can do to you
You don't have a clue
I'm only one man
You don't understand
Can't trust human nature
Can't trust human nature, no matter what you do
Human nature can't be trusted
Human nature can't be true
Tryna to see through the Celtic mist
Does freedom of speech exist?
What free state is this?
You don't understand
How they work in the dark
You don't understand
What it's like to be a mark
You don't understand how bad it is
I was taken in
You don't understand how mad and dangerous some people can be
You can't trust human nature
No matter what anyone tells you to do
Human nature can't be true
'Cause it's only human through and through
Trying to see through the Celtic mist
Does freedom of speech exist?
What free state is this?
You don't understand
How they work in the dark
You don't understand
What it's like to be a mark
You don't understand
How I was taken in
How mad, bad and dangerous
How mad, bad and dangerous some people can be
Why can't you see?
Take my name in vain
Cause me to be wrecked and strained
People that are comfortably insane
Feels like a ball and chain
Pounding on my brain
You don't understand
You don't understand my life is in shreds
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't wanna believe how bad it is
You don't understand how bad it can get
You don't understand how sad it is
You don't understand how my life is in shreds
I just wanna put it to bed, put it away
You don't understand
You just can't comprehend
Driving me 'round the bend
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
All right
You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
You still don't understand
You just don't understand

You Are So Beautiful lyrics
Joe Cocker
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Everything I hope for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hope for
Everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
Procol Harum - Conquistador
Conquistador Lyrics
Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armour plated breast
Has long since lost it's sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen
Though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador, a vulture sits
Upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now
The sand has taken seed
I know your jewel encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
Sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no, maze to unwind
Conquistador, there is no time
I must pay my respects
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regrets
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
And though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die
Though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no, maze to unwind
And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no, maze to unwind
And though I hoped for, something to find
I could see no, maze to unwind
Harry Nilsson - Without You
I can't live if living is without you
Without You lyrics
Harry Nilsson
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Living is without you
Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55
I Can’t Drive 55 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again
[Chorus]
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55
Oh no, uh
[Verse 2]
So I signed my name on number 24, hey
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more, huh
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I say, "Yeah, oh yeah"
[Chorus]
Write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55, oh yeah
[Bridge]
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive) 55
Sammy Hagar & The Circle - Pump It Up
Pump It Up
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
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
