Steve Miller Band - The Joker

LYRICS

Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause' I speak of the pompetous of love

People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
But don't you worry baby don't worry
Cause' I'm right here at home

Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin' my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Ooh wee baby, I sure show you a good time

Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin'my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
(solo)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

People keep talkin' about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause' I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Come on baby now, I'll show you a good time

Supertramp - Breakfast in America

LYRICS

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Hey don’t bother

Life is a mother fucker

Who’s gonna try to take

Inequality

Don’t freak out

What brings you down

Wisdom lies

Beneath the shroud

Pink Turns Blue - Walking On Both Sides

LYRICS

I don't know a thing outside

suffering endless through my life

I've seen too much I'm all alone 

Who likes to sit around and wait

but to act that means to fail

All I ever thought was wrong 

Damn the madness of my pride

the price I paid was much too high

My dreams became reality 

Cause I'm walking on both sides 

Much more real than my life

I am caged by thick ice

Makes me gloomy and morose 

Why I dared to go so far

lost my strength and lost my heart

I've to stay somewhere between 

Cause I'm walking on both sides 

Can't escape reality

always travelling in my dreams

Nothing I could take for true

How should I know whether I love you

whether I love you 

I'm walking on both sides

Red Zebra - can't live in a living room

LYRICS

Tranquilizers make me nervous
I can't relax no more
Should I go out or stay in
I never had this feeling before

And then I see your smiling faces
You are all laughing at me
Oh, doctor doctor can't you see
There must be something wrong with me

I can't piss in the toilet
Can't sleep in my bedroom
There's no food in the kitchen
I can't live in a living room

And then I hear your silent voices
They are all talking about me
Oh doctor doctor can't you see
I'm not the man I used to be

I (I) can't (can't) live (live)
In a (in a) living (living) room (room)
I can't live in a living room

Tranquilizers make me nervous
I can't relax no more
Should I go out or stay in
I never had this feeling before

And the I see your smiling faces
You are all laughing at me
Oh, doctor doctor can't you see
The things that happened to me

I just can't live any
I just can't live anymore

Semisonic - Secret Smile

LYRICS

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now

When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying alonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only

Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms

 LYRICS

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must have been something you saidI just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't getBroken hearts lie all around meAnd I don't see an easy way to get out of this

Her diary, it sits on the bedside tableThe curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradleWho would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been something you saidI just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been some kind of kissI should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?On the surface I'm a name on a listI try to be discreet, but then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistakeShe's loving by proxy, no give and all take'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been something you saidI just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been some kind of kissI should've walked away

It was a long hot nightShe made it easy, she made it feel rightBut now it's over, the moment has goneI followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been something you saidI just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must've been some kind of kissI should've walked away

Dakota - Runaway

LYRICS

Well, I can see that you're running faster

Running from some kind of disaster in your heart

They say you're too young to know the feeling

But still your head is reeling from the pain

Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?

Yeah, your momma and daddy don't know you,

While everybody's trying to show you

Why you're wrong

So you're packing your bags and leaving

Thinking some day you'll get even with them all

Then you're out on your own for the first time,

Looking back for the last time, how do you feel?

Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?

What'll you do just to keep you alive?

Where you going to my runaway?

Where you gonna run to, where you gonna run and hide

Will you find the answers, runaway?

In the dark of the night

Where there's no one to hold your hand

Out in the streets, all alone and feeling

Just like you're never going home

Then it makes you start remembering,

Who you are and where you've been my friend

Then you watch your sweet-talking Johnny dance

He'll give you the world just to get in your pants

You think he's in love

Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?

What'll you do just to keep you alive?

Where you going to my runaway?

Where you gonna run to, where you gonna run and hide

Will you find the answers, runaway?

In the dark of the night

Where there's no one to hold your hand

Where you going to my runaway?

Where you gonna run to, where you run and hide

Will you find the answers, runaway?

In the dark of the night

Where there's no one to hold your hand

In the dark of the night

In the dark of the night

Calexico - Stray

LYRICS

It rained the whole day he spent at his lover's grave
Said his goodbyes to her family and friends
Packed his things in a rusted car
And rode off in the rain
Came upon a church in ruin
With an old man dwelling within
Who said, "watch where you stray my friend"
Old man spoke of meanings lost and without name
Never shifting from their worn and weathered place
What was found in the endless search
For truth behind the tale
Beneath the ash and ember lies only one story to tell
Watch where you stray my friend
There's a flower that grows in a cave
So lovely to see but need to be saved
Its' beautiful blossom will wither and die
If ever this flower leave the darkness for daylight
