Heartbreak Station-Cinderella

Waiting at the station

Tears filling up my eyes

Sometimes the pain you hide

Burns like a fire inside

Lookin’ out my window

Sometimes it’s hard to see

The things you want in life

Come and go so easily

She took the last train out of my heart

The last train

And now I think I’ll make a brand new start

The last train out of my heart

Watching the days go by

Thinking 'bout the plans we made

Days turn into years

Funny how they fade away

Sometimes I think of those days

Sometimes I just hide away

I’m waiting on that 9:20 train

I’m waiting on a memory

She took the last train out of my heart

The last train

And now I think I’ll make a brand new start

The last train out of my heart, yeah

My lady’s on the fly

And she’s never coming back

My love is like a steam train

Rolling down the tracks, yeah, yeah

The last train out of my heart

The last train

And now I think I’ll make a brand new start

Took the last train out of my heart, yeah

she took the last train, out of my heart

(The last train) she took the last train

And now I think I’ll make a new start

Last train out of my heart

[Stacy2]

My clothes don’t fit and I have no point of view
I got a bad reputation but I don’t believe it’s true
I had something going but I blew it down the can
Not exactly what I planned

I’m a ramshackle man
That’s what I am

I look like a joker but I feel like a one-eyed jack
Shuffling around never get to the top of the park
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn’t give a damn

I’m a ramshackle man
That’s what I am

I sit down thinking 'bout the things I have to do
I start out fine then I pick up something new
Stumbled through the door that’s how it all began
Now it’s buried in the sand

I’m a ramshackle man
That’s what I am

The stars shine bright when
the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than I’m
Feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now
I’m second hand
I do what I can

I’m a ramshackle man
That’s what I am

That’s what I am
I’m a ramshackle man
That’s what I am
Ramshackle man
What I am

Oh, ramshackle man
That’s what I am
I’m a ramshackle man
I’m a ramshackle man
Ramshackle man

Sometimes I walk mysterious places
Hear voices that talk without a word to say
Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter
In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies

A half-moon away, way too close to heaven
She had the look, but no morality
Sometimes it’s easy to forget only for a moment
But there are nights you regret eternally

Whatever frozen hearts can do
Will melt the ice away

How you know what it’s like
When good luck has changed the sides
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
Ever hear your prayers in the night
When your fears come up your spine
When your life turns
upside down it breaks your heart
When you get crushed in a house of cards
House of cards

It’s so hard to find a way when life is in pieces
And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet
Sometimes it’s easy to forget only for a moment
But the man who’ll rise up
from the ashes is no one else but me

I’m standing in a waterfall
To wash the lies away

How you know what it’s like
When good luck has changed the sides
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
Ever hear your prayers in the night
When your fears come up your spine
When your life turns
upside down it breaks your heart
House of cards

Whatever frozen hearts can do
Will melt the ice away

How you know what it’s like
When good luck has changed the sides
And no sun shines in the dark and no angels
Ever hear your prayers in the night
When your fears come up your spine
When your life turns
upside down and there is no one
You get crushed in a house of cards
House of cards

Valentino’s got a bookie shop
And what he takes he gives for what he’s got
And what he’s got he says he has not
Stole from anyone

It’s not that he don’t tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
It’s just that he holds the proof
But you know something’s wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi

Valentino’s in a cold sweat
Placed all his money on that last bet
Against all the odds, he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget he’s a nervous wreck

It’s not that he misses much
Or even that he’s lost his lucky touch
It’s just that he gambles so much
And you know that it’s wrong

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibi
Tried to say I told you, I told you

Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Talk In ‘79-Phil Lynott

The Clash were headed for a head on collision

Crash for complete control

The Pistols left behind a swindle and a scandal

That nobody wished to handle

Sham 69 were left in a shambles

Generation X was next

Elvis and Nick Lowe

They had a go

With the help of the Attractions

And Joe Jackson said it wasn’t his style

Dave Edmunds survived alive

On top of a Rockpile

Devo didn’t know if they were men

Because they couldn’t get no satisfaction

The Rats were caught in their own trap

Steve Strange began to change

Ultravox had a system

Kraftwerk nearly beat them

And the Yellow Magic Orchestra missed them

Eno rose for Lowe

The Slits became rasta

And the Buzzcocks played faster and faster with adrenalin

John Cooper Clarke he was smart

The Public Image became Limited

The Police were re-released and came out as a three-piece

The Rocky Horror Show became the history of tomorrow

Nina Hagen, she was a German maiden

And the music press revealed their anger

When threatened by the Stranglers

This broadcast was brought to you in 1979

I’m just talking to you over these waves

Not just about another time and another place

And before we knew it

The old wave was gone and controlled

Assassing-Marillion

I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence

I am the assassin, providing your nemesis

On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend

Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend

No incantations of remorse, my friend

Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend

Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot

Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare

Who gouged the notches from the family tree

Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance

Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing

Listen as the syllables of slaughter cut with calm precision

Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision

Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction

Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption

Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour

A friend in need is a friend that bleeds

Let bitter silence infect the wound

You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone

Parading a Hollywood conscience

You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish

Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success

A non com observer - I assassin the collector - defector

So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend

And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend

To eradicate the problem, my friend

Unsheathe the blade within the voice

I am the assassin

I am the assassin

And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway…MY FRIEND!

Overkill, enough is enough
There’s nothing left of me to devour
You’ve had your fill, I’m all I have left
What can stop your hunger for power?

'Cause you took advantage
Of things that I said
Now the feeling is dead
And that’s the ultimate sin
And that’s the ultimate sin

Anyway I look at it now
The doors are closed and cannot be opened
Bury your anger and bury your dead
Or you’ll be left with nothing and no one

There’s no point in screaming
'Cause you won’t be heard
Now the tables have turned
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin

I warned you then and I’m warning you now
If you mess with me you’re playing with fire
Winds of change that are fanning the flames
Will carry you to your funeral pyre

It’s pulling you down
It’s your final descent
It’s too late to repent
When it’s the ultimate sin
When it’s the ultimate sin
When it’s the ultimate sin
When it’s the ultimate sin

When it’s the ultimate sin

Hold Me Tight - Scorpions

She’s the one, that’s what I thought
When our love had just begun
But times have changed
And I’s better go
Because it’s gonna be too late
And all my love will turn to hate
You’ve always known
That music is my life
And I live just for Rock’ n 'Roll
No one can make me change my mind
'Cause I just want to live my life
Alright don’t want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I’m leaving tonight
Alright woman, I’ll get out of your sight

You’re still the one
But you’ve shown me
How independent you’ve become
Don’t tell me you need, you need me
To be your ever faithful strong lovin’ man
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
I gotta go my way
And you’ll see, where I belong
You live your life and I live mine
I bet, you will turn out fine
Alright don’t want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I’m leaving tonight
Alright woman, I’ll get out of your sight

Alright don’t want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I’m leaving tonight
Alright woman, I’ll get out of your sight

Alright don’t want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I’m leaving tonight
Alright woman, I’ll get out of your sight

Fool For Your Loving - Whitesnake

I was born under a bad sign
Left out in the cold
I’m a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control

But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame
Now I’m moving moving on
And I ain’t taking the blame

Don’t come running to me
I know I’ve done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man

So, I can say it to you, babe
I’ll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more

I’m so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
I’ll be a fool for your loving, no more

I’m tired of hiding my feelings
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh baby, you done me wrong

Don’t come running to me
I know I’ve done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man

So, I can say it to you, babe
I’ll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more

I’m so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
I’ll be a fool for your loving, no more
I’ll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more

So, I can say it to you, babe
I’ll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more

I’m so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more

I’m a wheel, I’m a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can’t stop me turning
'Cause I’m the sun, I’m the sun
I can move, I can run
But you’ll never stop me burning

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone’s screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain

I’m the day, I’m the day
I can show you the way
And look, I’m right beside you
I’m the night, I’m the night
I’m the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone’s screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift my spirit higher
Someone’s screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain

Well, I can help you, you know I can
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain
Just look at me and listen
I’m the man, the man, give you my hand
I’m the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire
And lift your spirit higher
I’m the man on the mountain
The man on the silver mountain
I’m the night, the light

Tonight’s the night
To come in out of the cold,
I’ve waited such a long, long time
I’m getting out of control

All or nothing
That’s what I want from you,
I’m gonna give you everything I got
Now what are you gonna do

Don’t try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
‘Cos it’s too late,
I’m gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I’ll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can’t run anymore
Cos’ it’s too late for you now

My heart is burning
An’ the fire is hot,
My temperature is rising, rising, rising
I’m ready to rock

All or nothing
I’m gonna make you see,
I’ve made up my mind, for sure, this time
You’re gonna spend the night with me

So don’t try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it’s too late,
I’m gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I’ll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can’t run anymore
'Cos it’s too late for you now

So don’t try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it’s too late,
I’m gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I’ll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can’t run anymore
'Cos it’s too late for you now

Too late,

Too late,
I’ll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can’t run anymore

Mom and Dad went to a show
Dropped me off at grandpa Joe’s
I kicked and screamed
Said, “Please, don’t go!”

Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn’t chew my meat too good

Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone

Said, “Why don’t you stop your cryin’
Go outside and ride your bike!”
That’s what I did
I killed my toe!

Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone

After dinner I had ice cream
Fell asleep and watched TV
Woke up in my mother’s arms

Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

Grandma take me home

Hiraeth-Nightwish

Hiraeth

Beneath a cathedral

Of trees cloud high

Step in to this view

Get that dance out of you

Never-ending

Longing for the “What if’s”

For a home that once was

For a ghost love lullaby

Ever-tending

Watering the dead fields

Living with the hurt will

Tear the blue from shining eyes

A beast still roams these hills

Long to belong

Bleeding birds singing songs

Nights filled with light we don’t see

Never-ending

Longing for the “What if’s”

For a home that once was

For a ghost love lullaby

Ever-tending

Watering the dead fields

Living with the hurt will

Tear the blue from shining eyes

Never-ending

Never-ending

Longing for the “What if’s”

Far Cry - Rush

Pariah dogs and wandering madmen
Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
Electrical changes are charging up the young

Ooh, it’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit
Ooh, it’s a far cry from the way we thought we’d share it
Ooh, you can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I’m on top of the world
And the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel
And the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet

Ooh, it’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit
Ooh, it’s a far cry from the way we thought we’d share it
Ooh, you can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I’m on top of the world
And the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel
And the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit
You can almost see the circle growing
You can almost feel the planet glowing

One day I feel I’m on top of the world
And the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel
And the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I fly through a crack in the sky
And the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on

Silent Lucidity-Queensryche

Hush now, don’t you cry

Wipe away the teardrop from your eye

You’re lying safe in bed

It was all a bad dream spinning in your head

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain

Of someone close to you leaving the game of life

So here it is, another chance

Wide awake you face the day, your dream is over

Or has it just begun?

There’s a place I like to hide

A doorway that I run through in the night

Relax child, you were there

But only didn’t realize and you were scared

It’s a place where you will learn

To face your fears, retrace the years

And ride the whims of your mind

Commanding in another world

Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension

will be watching over you

(I) am gonna help you see it through

(I) will protect you in the night

(I) am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity

I can’t do this

Visualize your dream, record it in the present tense

Put it into a permanent form

If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control

How’s that then, better?

Dream control, dream control

Help me

If you open your mind for me

You won’t rely on open eyes to see

The walls you built within

Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin

Living twice at once, you learn

You’re safe from the pain in the dream domain

A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head

Master of illusion, can you realize

Your dream’s alive, you can be the guide but

will be watching over you

(I) am gonna help you see it through

(I) will protect you in the night

(I) I’m smiling next to you

We were born under blood built skies
Black and blue in the wraith of the night
Fear gets forced in our tired eyes
Spoon fed war machine
As you walk in this alone
And you come into your own

Stars are fallin’ down on you
Stars are fallin’ down on you
And it takes you away

Life is tearing up the road
In the season of the torch
All you people come and look upon
The child behind the door
That always longs for more

Stars are fallin’ down on you
(Stars are fallin’ down on you)
Stars are fallin’ down on you
(Stars are fallin’ down on you)
Stars are fallin’ down on you
(Stars are fallin’ down on you)
And it takes you away

You’re facing head on into the wind
And soon you’ll find your way
On your knees to begin
There’s beauty found in the fall
We learn to crawl
Learn to crawl

Born into the gilded cage
Tied in ribbons and awards
Came upon us deep as frost
No one saw but we were warned
Never knowing, trapped and torn

You’re facing head on into the wind
And soon you’ll find your way
On your knees to begin
There’s beauty found in the fall
We learn to crawl
Learn to crawl
Learn to crawl

You with your broken heart
There’s a rise for your requiem
Come down
And crawl again
And be born
Come down
And crawl again
And be born

Stars are fallin’ down on you
The stars are fallin’ down on you
It takes you away
The higher way is down
There is a deeper life that’s yet to be found
More than what we have known

You’re facing head on into the wind
And soon you’ll find your way
On your knees to begin
There’s beauty found in the fall
When we learn to crawl
Learn to crawl
Learn to crawl

Learn to crawl
Learn to crawl
Learn to crawl

Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won’t come
Just as I begin to fade

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango…

I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango…

I watch it all change
Take the news of the day
And throw it away
Time will kill all the pain
Faith will cure the decay
Of all this blind ambition
The greed brings us together

Stay strong, stay true, be brave
It all comes down to you

Try to just let it go
Know that justice moves slow
But it comes in the end
Rise, the guilty will fall
Stay, they can’t take it all
They want the unimportant
It’s love they leave behind

Stand up, stay true, be hard
The future looks to you

Every second you throw away
Every minute of every day
Don’t get caught in a myriad
'Cause life won’t wait for you
No, life won’t wait for you, my friend

I’m watching the change
Through who will carry the flame
It all feels very strange
Dreams than mean can be good
Faith to live as we should
And know we’re all connected
We give ourselves the power

Stay strong, stay true, be brave
It all comes down to you

Every day that you wait you’re falling faster
No sleight of hand, no twist of fate, no ever after
When it’s gone it’s gone, a fight to the bitter end
Life won’t wait for you
No, life won’t wait for you, my friend

Life won’t wait for you, my friend
Life won’t wait for you, my friend
Life won’t wait for you, my friend
Life won’t wait for you, my friend

Wishing Well-Free

Take off your hat

Kick off your shoes,

I know you ain’t going anywhere.

Run 'round the town

Singing your blues

I know you ain’t going anywhere.

You have always been

A good friend of mine

But you’re always saying farewell

And the only time that you are satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Throw down your gun

You might shoot yourself,

Or is that what you are tryin’ to do,

Put up a fight

You believe to be right

And someday the sun will shine through.

You have always got

Something to hide

Something you just can’t tell

And the only time that you are satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Oh!

But I know what you’re wishing for

Love and a peaceful world

Yeah

Love and a peaceful world

Oh! Yeah

Love and a peaceful world

You have always been

A good friend of mine

But you’re always saying farewell

And the only time that you are satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing…well.

Yes

I wish you well

I wish you well

Everybody has a wish

Everybody has a dream

I wish you well.

Rush-Countdown

Lit up with anticipation

We arrive at the launching site

The sky is still dark, nearing dawn

On the Florida coastline

Circling choppers slash the night

With roving searchlight beams

This magic day when super-science

Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams

Floodlit in the hazy distance

The star of this unearthly show

Venting vapours, like the breath

Of a sleeping white dragon

Crackling speakers, voices tense

Resume the final count

All systems check, T minus nine

As the sun and the drama start to mount

The air is charged — a humid, motionless mass

The crowds and the cameras,

The cars full of spectators pass

Excitement so thick — you could cut it with a knife

Technology — high, on the leading edge of life

The earth beneath us starts to tremble

With the spreading of a low black cloud

A thunderous roar shakes the air

Like the whole world exploding

Scorching blast of golden fire

As it slowly leaves the ground

Tears away with a mighty force

The air is shattered by the awesome sound

Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers

High in the air

In fascination — with the eyes of the world

We stare…
