I used to be a rolling stone You know if the cause was right I'd leave to find the answer on the road I used to be a heart beating for someone But the times have changed The less I say the more my work gets done 'cause I live and breathe this philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had Oh philadelphia freedom shine on me I love you Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light shine a light Shine a light won't you shine a light Philadelphia freedom I love you yes I do If you choose to you can live your life alone Some people choose the city Some others choose the good old family home I like living easy without family ties Till the whippoor will of freedom zapped me Right between the eyes 'cause I live and breathe this philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man gave me peace of mind my daddy never had Oh philadelphia freedom shine on me I love you Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light shine a light Shine a light won't you shine a light Philadelphia freedom I love you yes I do Oh philadelphia freedom shine on me I love you Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light shine a light Shine a light won't you shine a light Philadelphia freedom I love you you know I love you you know I love you yes I do philadelphia freedom I love you yes I do philadelphia freedom know that I love you yes I do philadelphia freedom don't you know that I love you yes I do philadelphia freedom don't you know that I love you yes I do |

Don't wish it away Don't look at it like its forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long before you and me run To the place in our hearts where we hide And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second without hesitation And never forget I'm your man Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess thats why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing like children living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Laughing like children living like lovers And I guess thats why they call it the blues Laughing like children living like lovers And I guess thats why they call it the blues And I guess thats why they call it the blues |

I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me I can't find Oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don't discard me Just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have oh they need love to help them heal don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free but losing everything is like the sun going down on me |

Goodbye norma jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend never did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that marilyn was found in the nude And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend never did Goodbye norma jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled Goodbye norma jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our marilyn monroe And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend never did Your candle burned out long before Your legend never did |

I remember when rock was young Me and suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock While the other kids were rocking round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock Well crocodile rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh lawdy mama those friday nights When suzie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight But the years went by and the rock just died Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy Long nights crying by the record machine Dreaming of my chevy and my old blue jeans But they'll never kill the thrills weve got Burning up to the crocodile rock Learning fast as the weeks went past We really thought the crocodile rock would last Well crocodile rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh lawdy mama those friday nights When suzie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight I remember when rock was young Me and suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock While the other kids were rocking round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock Well crocodile rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh lawdy mama those friday nights When suzie wore her dresses tight And the crocodile rocking was out of sight |

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show I know its not much but its the best I can do My gift is my song and this ones for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that its done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the suns been quite kind while I wrote this song Its for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that its done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world |

It's a human sign
When things go wrong When the scent of her lingers And temptation's strong Into the boundary Of each married man Sweet deceit comes calling And negativity lands * Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all Mutual misunderstanding After the fact Sensitivity builds a prison In the final act We lose direction No stone unturned No tears to damn you When jealousy burns Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all It's no sacrifice at all..... |

Elton John - Goodbye yellow brick road
When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened my oid man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels whe ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road |

Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end at half past six What he didn't say was exactly when Was he listening to the radio Was he listening to the government Well he got us spooked anyway We'd been running hot up until today But a wind of change blew across our sales We were coasting on a winning streak We were kings until the power failed We've been living in a tinderbox And two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox tinderbox Two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox Godzilla came in disguise Tore the building down right before our eyes Kept the needle out of the red balloon Was he worried we might go too far Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June The sun descends down in Mexico While a fancy car back on Savile Row Shows the price of fame leads to overkill Things are gonna have to change Some holes along the road get filled We've been living in a tinderbox And two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox tinderbox Two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it Guns going off if we don't uncock it We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket Or we're gonna burn out on this beautiful rocket Tinderbox two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox tinderbox Two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox |

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I′ll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you′ll never know Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you′re free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend |

Holy Moses I have been removed
I have seen the specter he has been here too Distant cousin from down the line Brand of people who ain't my kind Holy Moses I have been removed Holy Moses I have been deceived Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea Holy Moses I have been deceived I'm going back to the border Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused I can't take any more bad water I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes Holy Moses I have been deceived Holy Moses let us live in peace Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease There's a man over there what's his color I don't care He's my brother let us live in peace He's my brother let us live in peace He's my brother let us live in peace |

Sad Songs (Say So Much)
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio `Cause from the lips of some old singer We can share the troubles we already know Turn them on, turn them on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on They reach into your room Just feel their gentle touch When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much If someone else is suffering enough to write it down When every single word makes sense Then it's easier to have those songs around The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you and it feels so good to hurt so bad And suffer just enough to sing the blues Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say so much |

I found a black beret
on the street today It was lying in the gutter all torn There's a white flag flying on a tall building But the kids just watch the storm Their dirty faces pressed on the windows Shattered glass before their eyes There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway Where the sniper sleeps at night No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven There are many graves by a cold lake As the beds were when your babies are born And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin But the kids just watch the storm I saw a black cat tease a white mouse Until he killed it with his claws Seems a lot of countries do the same thing Before they go to war No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven Oh No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Oh Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven let them cry to heaven let them cry to heaven let them cry to heaven |

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun There's more to be seen than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done Some say eat or be eaten Some say live and let live But all are agreed as they join the stampede You should never take more than you give (Chorus) In the Circle of Life It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle, the Circle of Life Some of us fall by the wayside And some of us soar to the stars And some of us sail through our troubles And some have to live with the scars There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high Through the sapphire sky Keeps the great and small on the endless round (Chorus repeats) On the path unwinding In the Circle, the Circle of Life |

and the Brussels Museum Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers Our code of living meant little to others The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium just like Belgium Just like a hustler when they look attractive oh It's nothing much more than a slap on the back The price tag of being just a little bit different The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium just like Belgium But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium just like Belgium oh just like Belgium oh just like Belgium make it just like Belgium oh just like Belgium |

Turn me loose from your hands Let me fly to distant lands Over green fields, trees and mountains Flowers and forest fountains Home along the lanes of the skyway For this dark and lonely room Projects a shadow cast in gloom And my eyes are mirrors Of the world outside Thinking of the way That the wind can turn the tide And these shadows turn From purple into grey For just a Skyline Pigeon Dreaming of the open Waiting for the day He can spread his wings And fly away again Fly away skyline pigeon fly Towards the dreams You've left so very far behind Just let me wake up in the morning To the smell of new mown hay To laugh and cry, to live and die In the brightness of my day I want to hear the pealing bells Of distant churches sing But most of all please free me From this aching metal ring And open out this cage towards the sun |

There was a time I was everything
and nothing all in one When you found me I was feeling like a cloud across the sun I need to tell you How you light up every second of the day But in the moonlight You just shine like a beacon on the bay And I can't explain But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside And I can't describe But it's something about the way you look tonight Takes my breath away The way you look tonight With a smile You pull the deepest secrets from my heart In all honesty I'm speechless and I don't know where to start |
