With or Without You

(U2)

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you

I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

"Time To Move On

(Tom Petty)

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector
Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to forgiveness
Which way do I go
Time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenaline
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind
It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on,
it's time to get going

Travelin' Prayer

(Billy Joel)

Hey Lord, take a look around tonight
And find where my baby's gonna be
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure she's gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me
Hey Lord, would you look out for her tonight
And make sure all her dreams are sweet
Hey Lord, would ya guide her along the roads
And make them softer for her feet
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home in here with me
Hey Lord, would you look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin' under the sky
Hey Lord, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on
Is always warm and dry
Hey don't you give her too much rain
But try to keep her away from pain
'Cause my baby hates to cry
Hey Lord, won't you look out for her tonight
'Cause it gets rough along the way
Said Lord, if this song sounds strange
It's just because I don't know how to pray
So won't you give her peace of mind
And if you ever find the time
Won't you tell her I miss her ev'ryday

Famous Last Words

(Billy Joel)

Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summer time has come and gone,
and everybody's home again
Closing down for the season,
I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake
and it's sweet after all these years
These are the last words I have to say
That's why this took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life
There's comfort in my coffee cup
and apples in the early fall
They're pulling all the moorings up
and gathering at the Legion Hall
They swept away all the streamers
after the Labor Day parade
Nothing left for a dreamer now,
only one final serenade
And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life
And it's so clear standing here where I am
Ain't that what justice is for?
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore
Stack the chairs on the table tops
Hang the sheets on the chandeliers
It slows down but it never stops
Ain't it sweet after all these years
And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye
But now it's time to put this book away
Ain't that the story of my life --

Southern Cross

(Crosby, Stills & Nash)

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch
I realized
Why twice you ran away.

Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.

Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.

Already Gone

(The Eagles)

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf.
But let me tell you I got some news for you
and youÕll soon find out it's true
and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself.
'Cause I'm already gone
and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.
The letter that you wrote me
made me stop and wonder why
but I guess you felt like you had to set things right.
Just remember this, my girl,
when you look up in the sky
you can see the stars
and still not see the light, that's right.
And I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So oftentimes it happens
that we live our lives in chains
and we never even know we have the key.
But me, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song
'cause I'm already gone.
Yes, I'm already gone and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song 'cause I'm already gone.
Yes, I'm already gone, already gone
ALRIGHT already gone already gone.

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

(Green Day)

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Ol' 55

(Tom Waits)

Well my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly
out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
that the feeling's getting stronger.
And it's six in the morning,
gave me no warning;
I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me,
and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
that the feeling's getting stronger.
And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
freeway cars and trucks,
freeway cars and trucks...

Who's to Bless and Who's to Blame

(Kris Kristofferson)

If a cheated man's a loser
And a cheater never wins
And if beggars can't be choosers
'Til they're weak and wealthy men
And the old keep gettin' older
And the young must do the same
And it's never gettin' better
Who's to bless, and who's to blame
All the cards are on the table
You done laid your money down
Don't complain about your chances, boy
It's the only game in town
And the meaning doesn't matter
Nor the way you play the game
To the winner or the loser
Who's to bless, and who's to blame
Keep your hands above the table
And your back against the wall
Toss your chips in with your chances, boy
Let 'em lay the way they fall
Cause the moral doesn't matter
Broken rules are all the same
To the broken or the breaker
Who's to bless, and who's to blame

In My Life

(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
And some have gone, and some remained
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends that I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
Still no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning.
When I think of love as something new
No I will never, ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I loved you more

I know I'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
I'll often stop to think about them
In my life, I loved you more
In my life, I loved you more

One Monkey Don't Stop No Show

(Honey Cone)

My baby jumped up this morning,
Sat on the side of the bed.
He said, "I'm leaving you, baby."
And this is just what I said.
I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go,
But it's high time, baby, that you should know,
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
So, if you still wanna go, go ahead,
And I mean every word I said."
My baby thought I was jivin'
And he went right out the door.
He left me about three in the morning.
I got me a man at four.
Some women cry when their men bleed them
Dry, long and slow,
But I found out somethin' a long time ago.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
So if he gets too big for his pants
You better spring that new one and give him a chance.
I used to be chicken hearted;
Cry when he'd walk out the door,
'Cause I was just young and stupid.
Ha! Ain't like that no more.
'Cause I had a hard way to go,
But I learned the score.
And I'm here to tell you,
And I should know,
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
And let him do anything he choose.
There's a million men who can fill his shoes.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
You can tell him I told you so.

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes

(Slim Wallet )

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long
Don't forget where you belong
when the stars come out
Remember you are mine

Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh please keep your heart
While we're apart
Dont't linger in the moonlight
While I'm gone
