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 . . .
