    Danny By Tiffany 23 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 23 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 23 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 23 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 23 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.

    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.

    Buffalo Stance By Neneh Cherry 23 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 1 year 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 1 year 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….
