  • 1 Lonely People|America 2:23 Lyrics

    Lonely People|America - Lyrics

    (by America)

    This is for all the lonely people
    Thinking that life has passed them by
    Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
    And ride that highway in the sky

    This is for all the single people
    Thinking that love has left them dry
    Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
    You never know until you try

    Well, Im on my way
    Yes, Im back to stay
    Well, Im on my way back home (hit it)

    This is for all the lonely people
    Thinking that life has passed them by
    Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
    And never take you down or never give you up
    You never know until you try

  • 2 Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)|Marvin Gaye 3:17 Lyrics

    Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)|Marvin Gaye - Lyrics

    (by Marvin Gaye)

    Oh, mercy mercy me
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be
    No, no

    Where did all the blue sky go?
    Poison is the wind that blows
    From the north, east, south, and sea
    Oh, mercy mercy me
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be
    No, no

    Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
    Fish full of mercury
    Oh, mercy mercy me
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be
    No, no

    Radiation in the ground and in the sky
    Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

    Oh, mercy mercy me
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be
    What about this overcrowded land?
    How much more abuse from man can you stand?

    My sweet Lord
    My sweet Lord
    My sweet Lord

  • 3 The Wind|Cat Stevens / Bach 2:19 Lyrics

    The Wind|Cat Stevens / Bach - Lyrics

    (by Cat Stevens)

    I listen to the wind
    to the wind of my soul
    Where I'll end up well I think,
    only God really knows
    I've sat upon the setting sun
    But never, never never never
    I never wanted water once
    No, never, never, never

    I listen to my words but
    they fall far below
    I let my music take me where
    my heart wants to go
    I swam upon the devil's lake
    But never, never never never
    I'll never make the same mistake
    No, never, never, never

  • 4 Waiting In Vain|Bob Marley / Satie 4:38 Lyrics

    Waiting In Vain|Bob Marley / Satie - Lyrics

    (by Bob Marley)

    From the very first time I rest my eyes on you,boy
    My heart said follow through but I know now
    That Im way down on your line
    But the waiting feelings fine

    So dont treat me like a puppet on a string
    Because I know how to do my thing
    Dont talk to me as if you think Im dumb
    I wanna know when youre gotta come,you see

    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love
    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love
    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love
    cause sommer is here
    And Im still waiting there
    Winter is here
    Im still waiting there

    Like I said
    Its been three years since Im knocking on your door
    And still I can knock some more
    Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,i wanna know now
    For I to knock some more,you see

    In life I know
    That there is lots of grief
    But your love is my relief
    Tears in my eyes burn
    Tears in my eyes burn
    While Im waitin
    While Im waitin for my turn,you see

    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love
    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love
    I dont wanna wait in a vain for your love

    Like I said-
    I dont wanna,i dont wanna
    I dont wanna,i dont wanna
    I dont wanna wait in vain
    I dont wanna,i dont wanna
    I dont wanna,i dont wanna
    I dont wanna wait in vain

    Its been three years since Im knocking on your door
    And still I can knock some more
    Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,i wanna know now
    Like I said,the tears in my eyes burn
    Tears in my eyes burn
    While Im waiting

  • 5 A Hazy Shade of Winter|Simon & Garfunkel / Vivaldi 4:48 Lyrics

    A Hazy Shade of Winter|Simon & Garfunkel / Vivaldi - Lyrics

    (by Simon & Garfunkel)

    Time, time, time, see whats become of me
    While I looked around
    For my possibilities
    I was so hard to please
    But look around, leaves are brown
    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Hear the salvation army band
    Down by the riverside, its bound to be a better ride
    Than what youve got planned
    Carry your cup in your hand
    And look around, leaves are brown now
    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Hang on to your hopes, my friend
    Thats an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
    Simply pretend
    That you can build them again
    Look around, the grass is high
    The fields are ripe, its the springtime of my life

    Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
    Weaving time in a tapestry
    Wont you stop and remember me
    At any convenient time
    Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
    Of unpublished rhyme
    Drinking my vodka and lime

    But look around, leaves are brown now
    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Look around, leaves are brown
    Theres a patch of snow on the ground...

  • 6 Turn Turn Turn|Pete Seeger / The Byrds 3:39 Lyrics

    Turn Turn Turn|Pete Seeger / The Byrds - Lyrics

    (by The Byrds)

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to be born, a time to die
    A time to plant, a time to reap
    A time to kill, a time to heal
    A time to laugh, a time to weep

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to build up,a time to break down
    A time to dance, a time to mourn
    A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time of love, a time of hate
    A time of war, a time of peace
    A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to gain, a time to lose
    A time to rend, a time to sew
    A time to love, a time to hate
    A time for peace, I swear its not too late

  • 7 All In Love Is Fair|Stevie Wonder / Chopin 3:44 Lyrics

    All In Love Is Fair|Stevie Wonder / Chopin - Lyrics

    (by Stevie Wonder)

    All is fair in love
    Loves a crazy game
    Two people vow to stay
    In love as one they say
    But all is changed with time
    The future none can see
    The road you leave behind
    Ahead lies mystery
    But all is fair in love
    I had to go away
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    All of fates a chance
    Its either good or bad
    I tossed my coin to say
    In love with me youd stay
    But all in war is so cold
    You either win or lose
    When all is put away
    The losing side Ill play
    But all is fair in love
    I should have never left your side
    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    A writer takes his pen
    To write the words again
    That all in love is fair

    Maybe I'm Amazed|Paul McCartney - Lyrics

    (by Paul McCartney)

    Baby Im amazed at the way you love me all the time
    Maybe Im afraid of the way I love you
    Baby Im amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
    Hung me on a line
    Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

    Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
    Whos in the middle of something
    That he dosent really understand
    Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
    Who could ever help me
    Baby wont you help to me understand

    Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
    Whos in the middle of something
    That he dosent really understand
    Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
    Who could ever help me
    Baby wont you help me understand

    Baby Im amazed at the way youre with me all the time
    Maybe Im afraid of the way I leave you
    Baby Im amazed at the way you help me sing my song
    You right me when Im wrong
    Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

  • 9 Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood|The Animals / Rodrigo 4:25 Lyrics

    Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood|The Animals / Rodrigo - Lyrics

    (by The Animals)

    Baby, do you understand me now
    Sometimes I feel a little mad
    But don't you know that no one alive
    Can always be an angel
    When things go wrong I seem to be bad

    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
    With a joy that's hard to hide
    And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
    Then you're bound to see my other side

    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    If I seem edgy I want you to know
    That I never mean to take it out on you
    Life has it's problems and I get my share
    And that's one thing I never meant to do
    Because I love you
    Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
    Have thoughts like any other one
    Sometimes I find myself long regretting
    Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done

    But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

    Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

  • 10 I Just Wasn't Made for These Times|The Beach Boys 3:12 Lyrics

    I Just Wasn't Made for These Times|The Beach Boys - Lyrics

    (by The Beach Boys)

    I keep looking for a place to fit
    Where I can speak my mind
    Ive been trying hard to find the people
    That I wont leave behind

    They say I got brains
    But they aint doing me no good
    I wish they could

    Each time things start to happen again
    I think I got something good goin for myself
    But what goes wrong

    Sometimes I feel very sad
    Sometimes I feel very sad
    (cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)
    Sometimes I feel very sad
    (cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)

    I guess I just wasnt made for these times

    Every time I get the inspiration
    To go change things around
    No one wants to help me look for places
    Where new things might be found

    Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
    Whats it all about

    Each time things start to happen again
    I think I got something good goin for myself
    But what goes wrong

    Sometimes I feel very sad
    Sometimes I feel very sad
    (cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)
    Sometimes I feel very sad
    (cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)
