Danny By Tiffany 11 months ago

(1987)

Here in the dark
Silence is much too hard to bear
Dont’t know where to start
I’m hurtin’ everywhere
If we don’t stop now
We’re gonna lose
We should try somehow
‘caue it’s too easy to bruise

When you take your mark
Danny with your aim
Danny for my heart
It’s only pain
What does it prove
Again and again
Danny nobody wins

If it’s your pride
Promise you won’t let it keep us apart
Deep down inside
We can make a new start
If we don’t look back
On the price we pay
Well that’s all i ask
‘cause we’ll never make it this way

When you take your mark
Danny with your aim
Danny for my heart
It’s only pain
What does it prove
Again and again
Danny nobody wins

Big Time By Peter Gabriel 11 months ago

(1987)

I’m on my way I’m making it, huh!
I’ve got to make it show yeah, hey!
So much larger than life
I’m gonna watch it growing
Hey hey hey heyyyyyyy

The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small, they use small words
But not me, I’m smarter than that,
I worked it out
I’ll be stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out
I’ve had enough, I’m getting out
to the city, the big big city
I’ll be a big noise with all the big boys, so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god, as I kneel in the big church

Big time, I’m on my way I’m making it, big time, oh yes
Big time, I’ve got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I’m gonna watch it growing, big time
Ho ohh ohh, oh oh, ho ohh ohh, oh ohhh

My parties have all the big names and I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they’re amazed when I show them ‘round my house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain rage with a snow white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven, and I will walk through the front door

Big Time, I’m on my way I’m making it, big time, Huh!
Big time, I’ve got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I’m gonna watch it growing, big time
Big time, my car is getting bigger Big time, my house is getting bigger
Big time, my eyes are getting bigger
and my mouth
Big time, my belly’s getting bigger
Big time, and my bank account
Big time, look at my circumstance
Big time, and the bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big, hi there

Pop goes the world By Men Without Hats 11 months ago

(1987)

Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass.
Name of the band is the human race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.

Jenny played keyboard, johnny played drums,
Called little baby and a big bonhomme
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.

It goes something like this: (p p p pop)

Johnny and jenny had a crazy dream,
See their pictures in a magazine.
Every little boy needs a girl.
Pop goes the world.

Jenny and johnny getting smart (it seems)
Made more money on a movie screen.
Every little nest needs a bird.
Pop goes the world.

One two three and four is five,
Everybody here is a friend of mine.
Whatever happened to the duke of earl?
Pop goes the world.

Six seven eight and nine is ten,
Send al gunn to see the doctor (ben)
Say what planet are we on? the third!
Pop goes the world.

And every time I wonder where the world went wrong,
End up lying on my face going ringy dingy ding dong

And every time I wonder if the world is right,
End up in some disco dancin all night & day.

Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass,
Name of the band is the human race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.

Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass,
Aint nobody couldnt take their place.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world…..

Keeping the Faith By Billy Joel 11 months ago

(1983)

If it seems like I’ve been lost in let’s remember
If you think I’m feeling older and missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known me much better
Cause my past is something that never got in my way
Oh no

Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
And I’m not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
Oh, ‘Cause I never felt the desire ‘til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That’s why I’m keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh, I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades, oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man’s Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
Oh, I combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore a permanent wave, yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You can get just so much from a good thing
You can linger too long in your dreams
Say goodbye to the "Oldies But Goodies"
Cause the good ole days weren’t always good
And tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems

Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh, I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway, oh yes I did
I found out a man ain’t just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
Drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
Oh yeah, we were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You know the good ole days weren’t always good
And tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems

Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I’m going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
Oh, I’m going to listen to my 45’s
Ain’t it wonderful to be alive
When the rock ‘n’ roll plays, yeah
When the memory stays, yeah
I’m keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith
I’m keeping the faith, yes I am
You know I’m keeping the faith, oh yes I am
You know I’m keeping the faith, oh you are
(FADE: You know I’m keeping the faith, oh yeah…)

Nothing Gonna Stop Us By Starship 11 months ago

(1984)

Looking in your eyes, I see a paradise.
This world that I found is too good to be true.
Standing here beside you, I want so much to give you this love in my heart that im feeling for you
Let them say we’re crazy.
I don’t care about that.
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don’t ever look back.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Maybe we can make it if we’re heart to heart.
And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing’s gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers we’ll still have eachother.
Nothing’s gonna stop us, nothing’s gonna stop us now.
I’m so glad I found you, I’m not gonna lose you, whatever it takes to stay here with you.
Take it too the good times, see it through the bad times.
Whatever it takes is what I’m gonna do.
Let them say we’re crazy.
What do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby, don’t ever let go.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Baby, we can make it if we’re heart to heart.
Oh, all that I need is you.
All that I ever need.
All that I want to do is hold you forever, forever and ever.

And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing’s gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers we’ll still have eachother.
Nothing’s gonna stop us, nothing’s gonna stop us now.

And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing’s gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers we’ll still have eachother.
Nothing’s gonna stop us, nothing’s gonna stop us now.

Keep me hanging on By Kim Wilde 11 months ago

(1987)

Keep me hangin’ on –
Set me free
why don’t you
baby?
Get ofF my life
why don’t you
baby?
‘Cause you don’t really love me
you just keep me hangin’ on.
Set me free
why don’t you
baby?
Get off my life
why don’t you
baby?
‘Cause you don’r really need me
but you keep me hangin’ on.

Why do you keep a
comin’ around playing
with my heart?
Why don’t you get out of my life
and let me make a
brand-new start?
Let me get over you
the way you’ve gotten over me.
Set me free
why don’t you
baby?
Get off my life
why don’t you
baby?
‘Cause you don’t really love me
you just keep me hangin’ on.
Now you don’t really need me
you just keep me hangin’ on.

You say although we broke up
You still iust wanna be friends
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/bhb ]

But how can we still be friend;
When seeing you only
breaks my heart again?
- And there ain’t
nothing I can do about
it -

Get out
get out of my life and let
me sleep at night

‘Cause you don’t really love me
you just keep me hangin’ on.
You say you still care for me

But your heart and soul
needs to be free.
And now that you’ve
got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me.
You don’t want me for yourself

So let me find somebody else.

Set me free
why don’t you
baby?
Get off my life
why don’t you
baby?
‘Cause you don’t really love me
you just keep me hangin on.
Why don’t you be a
man about it and set
me freez
Now you don’t care a
thing about me

you’re just using me
using me.
Get out
get out of my life and let
me sleep at night

‘Cause you don’t really love me
you just keep
me hangin’ on.

Mickey By Toni Basil 11 months ago

(1982)

Hey Mickey
You’ve been around all night and that’s a little long
You think you’ve got the right but I think you’ve got it wrong
Why can’t we say goodnight? So you can take me home Mickey

‘Cause when you say you will, it always means you won’t
You’re givin’ me the chills, baby, please baby
Don’t every night you still leave me alone Mickey

(CHORUS)
Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don’t understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you’re so pretty, can’t you understand
It’s guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don’t break my heart, Mickey

Hey Mickey
Now when you take me by the who’s ever gonna know
And every time you move you let a little more show
There’s something you can lose, so don’t say no Mickey

So come on and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it, I’ll take it like a man
But please baby, please don’t leave me in this jam Mickey

(CHORUS)

Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey

REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE

Buffalo Stance By Neneh Cherry 11 months ago

(1988)

Who’s that gigolo on the street
With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home. They all came running
They were making noise, manhandling toys
That’s the girls on the block with the nasty curls
Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?

Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sukka?

Chorus 1:

Who’s looking good today?
Who’s looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don’t mess with me

Chorus 2:

No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love baby not romance
I’ll make a move nothing left to chance
So don’t you get fresh with me

Get funky. Yeah Timmy.
Tell it like it is. Check out this DJ.

So you say you wanted money but you know it’s never funny
When your shoes worn through and there’s a rumble in your tummy
But you had to have style get a gold tooth smile
Put a girl on the corner so you can make a pile
Committed a crime and went inside
It was coming your way but you had to survive
When you lost your babe, you lost the race
Now you’re looking at me to take her place.

Chorus 1

Smokin.’ Not cokin.’ Get funky sax.
Looking good, hanging with the wild bunch.
Looking good in a Buffalo Stance.
Looking good when it comes to the crunch
Looking good’s a state of mind
State of mind don’t look behind you
State of mind or you’ll be dead
State of mind may I remind you
Bomb the Bass…rock this place!
What is he like? What’s he like anway?
Yo’ man what do you expect the guy’s a gigolo man
You know I mean?

Chorus 2 (twice)

Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep…deeper into your soul.

Chorus 2 …

I Feel Free by Belinda Carlisle 11 months ago

(1987)

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
I feel free
I feel free

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You – you’re all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

I can walk down the street but there’s no one there
Though the pavement’s one huge crowd
I can drive down the road but my eyes don’t see
Thought my mind wants to cry out loud
Yea my mind wants to cry out loud

Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

As far as I can see
Ceiling is the sky
You’re the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
I feel free
I feel free

Dangerous By Roxette 11 months ago

(1988)

You pack your bag. you take control. youre moving into my heart and into my soul.

Get out of my way! get out of my sight! I wont be walking on thin ice to get through the night.

Hey, wheres your work? whats your game? I know your business but I dont know your name…

Hold on tight, you know shes a little bit dangerous. shes got what it takes to make ends meet the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. you know shes a little bit dangerous.

You turn around, so hot and dry. youre hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive.

Get out of my way! get out of my sight! Im not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, whats your word? whats your game? I know your business but I dont know your name…

Hold on tight…

Shes armed and shes extremely dangerous….
