When you love somebody that means a lot And so you give the best of what you've got It's a reason for living to have someone Without a love in your life you can't go on You need love I need love When you're tired and worn out she'll run to you And calm your restlessness and comfort you You need love I need love No wonder that I always say I can't live another day without you I tell my friends I'm feeling fine then they know that I'm not lying about you All your life you'll know that your trust was right when you're holding her close to you at night You need love I need love |

I look to the east and I look to the west trying to find a place where there's rest You know where I go, you know it's the same show people turning their backs, not wanting to know Look there son, you'll find hungry mouths saying please feed me well I'm only a child All around you'll find fallow ground but you can't plow a field with a hundred missiles You know the score You know it's war Death and destruction We gotta change it now Lord only knows how to turn it into more Where have all the rainbows gone Where where where My, oh God, says he's seen better days Where, where, where Speak to me, Lord Speak to me, Lord Come on down with Your fiery sword Rid this place of all its hate Show Your face before it's too late You know the score You know it's war Death and destruction Death and destruction Death and destruction We gotta change it now Lord only knows how |

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love That's up to her, yes and the Lord above You better move on Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings I believe she'd be happy with me without those things Still you beg me to set her free But my friend that will never be You better move on I can't blame you for loving her But can't you understand man, she's my girl And I, I, I, I'm never gonna let her go 'Cause I, I, I, I love her so Well let me tell you how I think you better go now, I'm getting mighty mad You ask me to give up the only love that I've ever had Maybe I would, oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on You better move on You better move on |

I press my nose against the pane of the little toffee shop Day after day I save my pennies to spend at the toffee shop Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock I stand on the cold stone street A penny every day that I have saved to buy myself some sweets The nice little lady old and grey with glasses and shawl Gives love away to good little boys who do as they are told She's always telling stories of her childhood days She couldn't buy the things that I can for families in those days Imagine the sweets that I can buy with six pennies of my own I always take my time to choose the sweets that I'll be taking home Gobstoppers in my pockets brown sugar in my hand lollies you suck that last all day and sugar that looks like sand |

What to do now that she doesn't want me? That's what haunts me What to do? What to do to keep from feeling lonely? Want her only. What to do? The record hops and all the happy times we had. The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad. Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing, still not knowing what to do. (repeat) What to do? What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8 |

Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name Or where she's been, or where she came from The last time I found love it only brought me pain The problems almost took me over I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa And fetching water And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all To do with love Next time I meet a girl I won't tell her my name Or where I've been Or where I came from I'll take a hold of her And love her just the same No need to mention past acquaintances I just want someone to love me And someone to like the presents That I bought her 'Cause that's got something to do Yes, that's got something to do To do with love Each girl I meet comes up wronger And I can't take it all much longer No, I can't no verse 3 verse 4 verse 5 |

My sadness it is growing I'm sure it's started showing This feeling's getting stronger I can't hold back out much longer It's swelling deep inside emotions I can't hide Then the heartaches begin I'm telling you The heartaches begin I need someone to guide me someone to reconcile me to take away this pain before it starts again But no one listens to me Can't control what's set in deeply chorus Four stone walls surround me An empty shell's all you see My former self's departed A man who's broken hearted Loneliness is what I fear holding on to all that's dear chorus I'm telling you child |

Words that were spoken in the anger
of youth only half truth. Touched by the chilbride while deep inside her lie real truth. He was the passion of the spring he was the baby. And half forgotten in the passing of time. The real crime brother and brother with backs to each other the war sign. and in the passion of the spring came the baby. Come back mama mama sing him a song. Tell him all that was wrong tell him all that you had that was bad. Tell him all that was good mama. You know that you should mama remember the good mama. And with the light that you show let him grow let him go let him go let him go let him let him let him go. Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half truth. Touched by the chilbride while deep inside her lie the real truth. He was the passion of spring he was the baby. He was the passion of the spring he was the baby.

To miss the last train back to your life Head into the sun all that the night has done Will fade if you hang on really tight There's always reasons for runnin' down the road Every time it snows You know it's so easy to take the time to grow You know this flight is Heading into the sun riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun Head into the sun you ain't the only one To blow the first few bars of the tune Head into the sun all that the night has done Will fade if you move on really soon There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels Every time it's real You know it's easy to get into the feel You know this flight is Heading into the sun Riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels Every time it's real You know it's so easy to get into the feel You know this flight is Heading into the sun Riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun |

Leaves come falling on a winter's day
Robins weep and watch them sail away Floating on the water is autumns last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change Rivers once were frozen now they're free Showing winter's going rapidly Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change The changing faces of the seasons Are those that cannot be compared Except in love it sometimes happens Love grows but all too soon it dies Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change Signs that will never change |

Why, why ignore me And keep me out all of the time Do you think I don't love you It's only in your mind You don't give me your reason You don't explain all your ways It must be the change of the season That's all I can say Was it something that I said That made you stop loving me I only want for the best Not to see you in my life Makes me so unimportant I can't live with myself Gone, gone is tomorrow I'm only living for today I never thought you'd ever leave me Now you have gone away. |

Standing by a riverside
A river so deep and so wide Current's too strong for only one man I know because I tried I got eight oars - four on either side Is there anybody with me Eight hands four willing hearts Won't someone answer my plea Well I got in the boat I stayed afloat Some way across I was tiring Well I need someone to help me to get to the other side Along came son of Alabama south He said "I heard you calling If you don't mind the colour of my skin I'll help you not to fall in" Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo "If my eyes don't make you nervous I used to handle a junk back home" Said 'Can I be of service' Well we got in the boat we stayed afloat Halfway across we were tiring We got to row this boat together to get to the other side Two more oars only one seat left One more person to lean on A brotherhood boat to a land called home with our share of freedom Got in the boat stayed afloat There's no need to be tiring We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side |

When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window It was raining hard the trees looked bare the night I met her She was wet her hands were cold the wind blew through her hair Though I'd known her quite a long time we were just good friends So it didn't seem so strange inviting her back home We sat by the fire The flames brought out something in her Melting all the cold projecting warmth I never knew As the rain beat on my window did she understand that in the glow of dying embers everything was planned When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter We made love later on that night while the rain beat on my window I can't forget the things that happened while the rain beat down on my window Next time I saw her I knew she didn't want to know me If I disappointed her I think she should have told me Can't she understand I only tried to be a man She made me feel so ashamed of everything I am When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her |

Sitting here alone Drinking from an empty can of beer Wishing you were here Think I hear the bell Must be my imagination Hoping you'll appear Are you feeling well Would you write a letter just to say Had a lovely day I never realized How lonely I would be without you I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine Had a busy day Brought in the milk And saw the folks next door Who could ask for more Tomorrow leaves today I look at a photograph of you and me How's the family I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine |

Where where is the promised land Where where is the promised land It can't be found in Viet Nam It can't be where the eagle has landed If we want peace for every man We've gotta make the world demand it Now I see the flag is flying We've got to help them stop the dying We must bring back the soldier boys We mustn't let them die for nothing War's a better game when played with toys Let's change the game and let's start loving Soldiers never fight alone There's just as much fighting going on at home Protests, violence, marches It's all going on at home Bring them all back home (repeat) |

Perfect lady housewife Her totally detached sepulchre is painted white its gentique suite unscratched A veritable show case It shines like a new pin Everything is in its place And there's a place for everything A, B, C, D. That's the way it's gotta be 1, 2, 3, 4. Count them up and know the score Foot upon the parquet Makes her awfully vexed Onset of vile anarchy Oh Lord, whatever next Messiness is no excuse It's showing no respect Random factor introduced Just goes and spoils the whole effect chorus Efficient official His patience overtaxed Don't these people know that rules Can never be relaxed He could be humanised You would never imagine Everyone is categorised And there's a place for everything chorus |

Johnny was a pusher on the east side Pushing anything to be pushed Laid something on a guy who didn't get high Didn't know the guy was a hood Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened Thought the best place was out of town Packed up his bags and threw them in the back Packed up his bags and threw them in the back Of his chevy put his foot flat down Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back You better beware there johnny 'cause the monkey's packin' a gat Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway Johnny johnny get away You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Johnny thought he'd do something clever Turning south on the old coast road Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door Trying to shake off his heavy load Crossed the state line feeling safer Drinking in the corner of a bar In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye Said hey is johnny in here Chorus You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Be good You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Look out johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway Johnny johnny get away You better beware there johnny There's a monkey on your back Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back (repeat) |

from Amores Perros (아모레스 페로스) by Gustavo Santaolalla [ost] (2000)
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Woo! I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down and across the table When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well, I told her "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared" Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all |

(Sylvester / Clarke)
Heading out on my way to nowhere just a traveling man Hitching rides along the highway from whoever I can Gotta stop someplace somewhere and put some leather on my shoes They're the only pair that get me there any horizon that I choose I know when the cold wind blows my coat will keep me warm I've got no woman's love to call my own I saw you lying there a cast-off from another man So I picked you up took you home and home is on my back Lonely hobo lullaby is my song Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along My shoes my coat my jeans and anything else I own We're a family without a tree no roots to hold us down verse 1 verse 2 |

(Hicks)
She looks from side to side The tear drops fill her eyes As once again she hears the sound of shouting turns to the window pane Funny there's rain again Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting They are fighting again All she feels is cold and pain She don't know whose side to take Mother's or Father's She can't know that soon they'll part That they broke each other's heart They are breaking up, but she don't understand it She leaves the room in fright Each time they start to fight She runs up to her bed But there's no sleeping Clings to her teddy bear But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping Little girl dry your eyes Your Ma and Pa one day will put you wise Little girl don't you cry You'll understand what happened by and by verse 2 |

Bright light city's high
Maybe we're gonna fly Get on the scene King and Queen Layin' To the music if you know what I mean Downtown get around Searchin' for a mean sound Itchy feet wanna dance to the beat Layin' To the music if you know what I mean Comin' on strong won't be long Reachin' out to where I belong I'm in my stride Good music to ride by Horse riders in the sky (repeat) Drinkin' wine from a slipper shoe Baby can we boogaloo Move to the right Slip in tight Layin' to the music all night Layin' to the music it's all right Layin' to the music all night |
