the mindbenders - groovy kind of love

old gold classic

http://youtu.be/9B8k3wzHUvE



when i'm feeling blue, all i have to do
is take a look at you, then i'm not so blue
when you're close to me, i can feel your heart beat
i can hear you breathing in my ear
wouldn't you agree
baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
(groovy kind of love)
we got a groovy kind of love
(groovy kind of love)

anytime you want to, you can turn me onto
anything you want to, anytime at all
when i taste your lips, oh i start to shiver
can't control the quivering inside
wouldn't you agree
baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
(groovy kind of love)
we got a groovy kind of love

when i'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
if the world would shatter, i don't care
wouldn't you agree
baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
(groovy kind of love)
we got a groovy kind of love
(groovy kind of love)
we got a groovy kind of love

Seether - Tonight

our worlds are meant to collide
i want to yell it from the rooftops down

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCzdecygpmg&ob=av2e



i'm not gonna waste this
this opportunity's mine
i'm sick of complaining
about a beautiful life

how did we get here?
did we forget all the things inside?
and how do we stay here?
do we embrace all the things denied?

i feel so alive tonight
you got me feeling sublime
i want to yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over, and we're older

for my entertainment
you tell a whimsical lie
to keep me complacent
you knock me down with a smile

how did we get here?
how do we pretend everything's alright?
and how do we stay here?
do we erase all the fear inside?

i feel so alive tonight
you got me feeling sublime
i want to yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over, and we're older

like sugar and cyanide
these worlds are gonna collide
i want to yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over, and we're older

so take me, but go slow
let me hide somewhere i know
and let this seed grow
until we finally call this home
so take me, but go slow
let me hide somewhere i know
and let this seed grow
until we finally call this home

if i was to die tonight
would it tear you apart?
would you yell it from the rooftops down?
until it's over, and you're older

i feel so alive tonight
you've got me feeling sublime
i want to yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over, and we're older
like sugar and cyanide
our worlds are meant to collide
i'm gonna yell it from the rooftops down
until it's over, and we're older

Allman Brothers - Midnight Rider

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyOD-ctLXv0



well, i've got to run to keep from hiding
and i'm bound to keep on riding
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let them catch me, no
not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

and i don't own the clothes i'm wearing
and the road goes on forever
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let them catch me, no
not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

and i've gone by the point of caring
some old bed i'll soon be sharing
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

well i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

well i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwoiy-Fwm0E



i told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
don't you know that i'm a gangster of love
let me tell you people that i found a new way
and i'm tired of all this talk about love
and the same old story with a new set of words
about the good and the bad and the poor
and the times keep on changin'
so i'm keepin' on top
of every fat cat who walks through my door

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
and i don't let my friends get hurt
all you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story
with a new set of words
and you got some heavy dues to pay


i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


(additional lyrics not covered in this version:
i was born on this rock
and i've been travelin' through space
since the moment i first realized
what all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
you know, i'm ready for the final surprise
there ain't no way around it
ain't nothing to say
that's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
all the prayers and surveyors
keep the whole place uptight
while it keeps on gettin' darker outside

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies

better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story

eagles and linda ronstadt - desperado

http://youtu.be/-7DSyms49og



desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
you been out ridin' fences for so long now
oh, you're a hard one but i know that you got your reasons
these things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

well it seems to me, some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones that you can't get

desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger
your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

and freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell the night time from the day
you're losin' all your highs and lows
ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate
it may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
you better let somebody love you
(let somebody love you)
let somebody love you before it's too late

Kid Rock - Cowboy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glb2U6y-GdU&ob=av2n



(cowboy)
(cowboy)

well i'm packing up my game and i'm-a head out west
where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
find a nest in the hills - chill like flint
buy an old drop-top - find a spot to pimp
then i'm-a kid rock it up and down your block
with a bottle of scotch and botch lots of crotch
buy a yacht with a flag sayin', "chillin' the most"
then rock that bitch up and down the coast
give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
get thrown in the mix and tossed out of bars
sip the tijuana - i wanna roam
find mo town and tell them fools to come back home
start an escort service for all the right reasons
and set up shop at the top of four seasons
kid rockin' - i'm the real mccoy
and i'm headed out west sucker, 'cause i wanna be a . . .

cowboy, baby
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy, baby
west coast chillin' with the boone's wine
i wanna be a cowboy, baby
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy, baby
i can smell a pig from a mile away

i bet you'll hear my whistle blowin' when my train rolls in
it goes (whistle) like dust in the wind
stoned pimp; stoned freak; stoned out of my mind
i once was lost, but now i'm just blind
palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
get a map to the stars - find heidi fleiss
and if the price is right then i'm gonna make my bid, boy
and let cal-i-forn-i-a know why the call me a . . .

cowboy, baby
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy, baby
west coast chillin' with the boone's wine
i'm gonna be a cowboy, baby
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy, baby
i can smell a pig from a mile away

yeah, kid rock - you can call me tex
rollin' sunset woman with a bottle of becks
seen a slimmy in a 'vette, rolled down my glass
and said, "yeah this dick fits right in your ass"
no kiddin'; gun slingin'; spurs hittin' the floor
call me hoss, i'm the boss, with the sauce in the horse
no remorse for the sheriff, in his eye i ain't right
i'm gonna paint his town red, then paint his wife white
cause chaos, rock like amadeus
find west coast pussy for my detroit players
mack like mayors, ball like lakers
they told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
why they wanna pick on me?
lock me pu and snort away my key?
i ain't no G, i'm just a regular failure
right straight outta compton - i'm straight out the trailer
cuss like a sailor; drink like a mick
my only words of wisdom are to suck my dick!
i'm flickin' my bic up and down that coast and
keep on truckin' until it falls into motion

cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy
spend all my time at hollywood and vine
cowboy
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy
i can smell a pig from a mile away
cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'

cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy
spend all my time at hollywood and vine

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_WZkCgeXWk



Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
. . .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqWnJgkwppI




Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door . . .

queen - bohemian rhapsody

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ&ob=av2e



is this the real life?
is this just fantasy?
caught in a landslide
no escape from reality
open your eyes
look up to the skies and see
i'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy
because i'm easy come, easy go
a little high, little low
anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

mama, just killed a man
put a gun against his head
pulled my trigger, now he's dead
mama, life had just begun
but now i've gone and thrown it all away
mama, ooohhhhh
didn't mean to make you cry
if i'm not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body's aching all the time
goodbye everybody - i've got to go
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
mama, ooohhhhh - (anyway the wind blows)
i don't want to die
i sometimes wish i'd never been born at all

i see a little silhouetto of a man
scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
gallileo, gallileo,
gallileo, gallileo,
gallileo figaro - magnifico

but i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
he's just a poor boy from a poor family
spare him his life from this monstrosity
easy come easy go - will you let me go
bismillah! no - we will not let you go - let him go
bismillah! we will not let you go - let him go
bismillah! we will not let you go - let me go
will not let you go - let me go (never)
never let you go - let me go
never let me go - ooohhhhh
no, no, no, no, no, no, no -
oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
so you think you can love me and leave me to die
ooohhhhh baby - can't do this to me baby
just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

ooh yeah, ooh yeah

nothing really matters
anyone can see
nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

anyway the wind blows . . .

eric clapton - i shot the sheriff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iugs4pSpgY




all around in my home town
they're trying to track me down.
they say they want to bring me in guilty
for the killing of a deputy,
for the life of a deputy.
but i say:

i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy.
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy.


sheriff john brown always hated me;
for what i don't know.
every time that i plant a seed
he said, kill it before it grows.
he said, kill it before it grows.
i say:

i shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
i shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.


freedom came my way one day
and i started out of town.
all of a sudden i see sheriff john brown
aiming to shoot me down.
so i had to shoot him down . . .

i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.

reflexes got the better of me
and what will be will be.
every day the bucket goes to the well,
but one day the bottom will drop out,
yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
but i say:

i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy.
i shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot no deputy . . .

and toe to toe

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRvCvsRp5ho&ob=av2e



it's all the same, only the names will change
everyday it seems we're wasting away
another place where the faces are so cold
i'd drive all night just to get back home

i'm a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride
i'm wanted dead or alive
wanted dead or alive

sometimes i sleep, sometimes it's not for days
and the people i meet always go their separate ways
sometimes you tell the day
by the bottle that you drink
and times when you're alone all you do is think

i'm a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride
i'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
wanted (wanted) dead or alive


oh! and i ride!

i'm a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride
i'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive

i walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
i play for keeps, 'cause i might not make it back
i been everywhere, and i'm standing tall
i've seen a million faces and i'm rockin' on

i'm a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride
i'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive

yeah . . .

and i set up and tore down this stage with my own two hands

Foreigner - Juke Box Hero

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_qhnWByA4



standing in the rain, with his head hung low
he couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
he heard one guitar, just blew him away
he saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day

he bought a beat up six string, in a secondhand store
he didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
that one guitar, felt good in his hands, didn't take long, to understand
just one guitar, slung way down low
was a one way ticket, only one way to go
so he started rockin', he ain't never gonna stop
he gotta keep on rockin', someday gonna make it to the top

and be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes), he's a juke box hero
he took one guitar (juke box hero), put stars in his eyes
juke box hero, (stars in his eyes) he'll come alive tonight

in a town without a name, there was a heavy downpour
thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
and that one guitar, made his whole life change
now he needs to keep on rockin', he ain't never gonna stop
gotta keep on rockin', that boy has got to stay on top

and be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
he's a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
yeah, juke box hero (stars in his eyes)
with that one guitar (stars in his eyes)
he'll come alive, come alive tonight . . .

yeah, he's gotta keep on rockin', he just can't stop
gotta keep on rockin', that boy has got to stay on top

and be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
he's a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
with his one guitar (juke box hero), put stars in his eyes
he's just a juke box hero (aah aah aaah)
juke box hero, juke box hero
he's got stars in his eyes, stars in his eyes

Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3wA4ZxGd3U



stuck inside these four walls
sent inside forever
never seeing no one
nice again like you
mama you, mama you

if i ever get out of here
thought of giving it all away
to a registered charity
all i need is a pint a day
if i ever get out of here
if we ever get out of here

well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
as we fell into the sun
and the first one said to the second one there
i hope you're having fun
band on the run
band on the run
and the jailer man
and sailor sam
were searching every one

for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
seeing no one else had come
and a bell was ringing in the village square
for the rabbits on the run
band on the run
band on the run
and the jailer man
and sailor sam
were searching every one

for the band on the run, band on the run . . .
for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

well the night was falling as the desert world
began to settle down
in the town they're searching for us every where
but we never gonna be found
band on the run
band on the run

and the county judge
who held a grudge
will search for evermore
for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run . . .

David Bowie - Fame

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpOlaLTXP4E



fame (
fame) makes a man take things over
fame (fame) lets him loose, hard to swallow
fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
fame (fame)

fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
that burns your change to keep you insane (sane)
fame (fame) . . .

fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow
fame (fame)

fame, nien! it's mine! is just his line
to bind your time, it drives you to crime
fame (fame) . . .

could it be the best, could it be?
really be, really babe?
could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
could it, babe? could it, babe?

is it any wonder i reject you first?
fame, fame, fame, fame
is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
fame (fame)

fame, bully for you, chilly for me
got to get a rain check on pain (pain)
(fame) . . .

fame . . .

Metallica - Turn The Page

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOibtqWo6z4



on a long and lonesome highway
east of Omaha
you can listen to the engine
moanin' out his one note song
you can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
but your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
when you're ridin' sixteen hours
and there's nothin' much to do
and you don't feel much like ridin',
you just wish the trip was through

here
i am
on the road again
there
i am
up on the stage
here
i go
playin' the star again
there
i go
turn the page

well you walk into a restaurant,
strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shakin' off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode
most times you can't hear 'em talk,
other times you can
all the same old cliches,
"is that a woman or a man?"
and you always seem outnumbered,
you don't dare make a stand

here
i am
on the road again
there
i am
up on the stage
here
i go
playin' the star again
there
i go
turn the page

out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
every ounce of energy
you try to give away
as the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play

later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
with the echoes from the amplifiers
ringin' in your head
you smoke the day's last cigarette,
rememberin' what she said

here
i am
on the road again
there
i am
up on the stage
here
i go
playin' the star again
there i go
turn the page
there i go
turn that page
there i go
there i go

Bad Company - Shooting Star

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YEmC6cTXKY



johnny was a school boy when he heard his first beatles song
love me do, i think it was and from there it didn't take him long
got himself a guitar, used to play it every night
now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right

don't you know?

johnny told his momma, hey momma i'm goin' away
i'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
johnny said, don't cry momma smile & wave goodbye

don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
and all the world will love you just as long
as long as you are

johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
johnny looked around him and said, hey, i made the big time at last

don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
and all the world will love you just as long
as long as you are


don't you know that you are a shooting star
shinin' on, way up there beyond the clouds
don't you know that you are a shooting star
and all the world will love you just as long
as long as you are . . .

johnny died one night, died in his bed
bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets by his head
johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
if you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play . . .

don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know, don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know . . .
don't you know that you are a shooting star
shinin' on down forever . . .
don't you know that you are a shooting star
and all the world will love you just as long
as long as you are . . .

well, we were just another band out of boston
on the road to try to make ends meet
playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars

but when we got up on stage and got ready to play
people came alive.

rock and roll band
everybody's waitin'
gettin' crazy
anticipating love and music
play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

dancin' in the streets of hyannis
we were getting pretty good at the game
people stood in line and didn't seem to mind
you know everybody knew our name
livin' on rock-n-roll music
never worried 'bout the things we were missing
when we got up on stage and got ready to play
everybody'd listen.

rock and roll band
everybody's waitin'
gettin' crazy
anticipating love and music
play, play, play, yeah, yeah

playin' for a week in rhode island
a man came to the stage one night
he smoked a big cigar
and drove a cadillac car
and said, "boys, i think this band's outta-sight

you know i've got great expectations
when i hear you on the car radio
you're gonna be a sensation!"

Bob Seger n The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock n Roll

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsSVcRYh8dE



just take those old records off the shelf
i sit and listen to 'em by myself
today's music ain't got the same soul
i like that old time rock and roll

don't try to take me to a disco
you'll never even get me out on the floor
in 10 minutes i'll be late for the door
i like that old time rock and roll

still like that old time rock and roll
that kinda music just soothes the soul
i reminisce about the days of old
with that old time rock and roll

won't go to hear 'em play a tango
i'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
there's only one sure way to get me to go
start playin' old time rock and roll

call me a relic call me what'cha will
say i'm old fashioned say i'm over the hill
today's music ain't got the same soul
i like that old time rock and roll

still like that old time rock and roll . . .

Elton John - Crocodile Rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lilZb_9MMHQ



i remember when rock was young
me and suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
had an old gold chevy and a place of my own
but the biggest kick i ever got
was doing a thing called the crocodile rock
while the other kids were rocking round the clock
we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock

well crocodile rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
i never knew me a better time and i guess i never will
oh lawdy mama those friday nights
when suzie wore her dresses tight
and crocodile rocking was out of sight

but the years went by and the rock just died
suzie went and left me for some foreign guy
long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my chevy and my old blue jeans
but they'll never kill the thrills we got
burning up to the crocodile rock
learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the crocodile rock would last . . .

Steppenwolf - Rock Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa6xquyj5X0



she asked me maybe i could share her sorrow
for all the men that tried to treat her wrong
though just a baby, awaiting her tomorrow
it's rock me baby, rock me baby, all night long

she needs an answer to her confusion
someone to guide her with tenderness
but when she's askin' for a solution
all that she gets, you know, is something like this

i don't know where we come from
don't know where we're goin' to
but if all this should have a reason
we would be the last to know
so let's just hope there is a promised land
hang on 'til then
as best as you can

ev'rybody's ills, you know it fills her with compassion
that's why she tries to save the world alone
she helps the needy in her own fashion
and tries to give them all her own

she needs an answer to her confusion
someone to guide her with tenderness
but when she's askin' for a solution
all that she gets, you know, is something like this


i don't know where we come from
don't know where we're goin' to
but if all this should have a reason
we would be the last to know
so let's just hope there is a promised land
hang on 'til then
as best as you can

rock me baby, rock me baby, all night long . . .

John Mellencamp - R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.

a salute to 60's rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgtmStUrXMQ&ob=av2em



they come from the cities
and they come from the smaller towns
in beat up cars with guitars and drummers
goin' crack boom bam

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., yeah, yeah!
rockin' in the U.S.A.

well they said goodbye to their families
said goodbye to their friends
with the pipe dreams in their heads
and very little money in their hands
some are black and some are white
ain't too proud to sleep on the floor tonight
with the blind faith of jesus you know that they just might be
rockin' in the U.S.A.
hey!

voices from nowhere
and voices from the larger towns
filled our head full of dreams
and turned our world upside down

there was frankie lyman, bobby fuller, mitch ryder
(they were rockin')
jackie wilson, shangra-las, young rascals
(they were rockin')
spotlight on martha reeves
let's don't forget james brown
rockin' in the U.S.A.
hey!

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. . . .

Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XcKBmdfpWs



yeah, i'm sittin' on this bar stool talking like a damn fool
got the twelve o'clock news blues
and i've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
and a bottle of cold brew
is it any wonder i'm not crazy?
is it any wonder i'm sane at all?

i'm so tired of losin', i've got nothing to do
and all day to do it
well, i go out cruisin', but i've no place to go
and all night to get there
is it any wonder i'm not a criminal?
is it any wonder i'm not in jail?

is it any wonder i've got too much time on my hands?
ticking away with my sanity
i've got too much time on my hands
it's hard to believe such a calamity
i've got too much time on my hands
and it's ticking away, ticking away from me

too much time on my hands
(t-t-t-t-t-ticking away)
too much time on my hands
(and i don't know what to do with myself)
too much time on my hands

too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands

now, i'm a jet-fuel genius
i can solve the world's problems without even trying
i got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends
that is, as long as i'm buying
is it any wonder i'm not the president?
is it any wonder i'm null and void?

is it any wonder i've got too much time on my hands?
ticking away with my sanity
i've got too much time on my hands
it's hard to believe such a calamity
i've got too much time on my hands
and it's ticking away, ticking away from me

too much time on my hands
(t-t-t-t-t-ticking away)
too much time on my hands
(and i don't know what to do with myself)
too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands
(t-t-t-t-t-ticking away)
too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands

(too much time on my hands)
(too much time on my . . . )
