Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdB9lTUyshM




time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
into the future
time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
into the future

i want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
i want to fly like an eagle
till i'm free
oh, oh, through the revolution

feed the babies
who don't have enough to eat
shoe the children
with no shoes on their feet
house the people
livin' in the street
oh, oh, there's a solution

i want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
i want to fly like an eagle
till i'm free
fly through the revolution

time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
into the future . . .

Tom Petty - Learning To Fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BJXwNeKsQ




well i started out
down a dirty road
started out
all alone
and the sun went down
as i crossed the hill
and the town lit up
the world got still

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing

well the good ole days
may not return
and the rocks might melt
and the sea may burn

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing

well some say life
will beat you down
break your heart
steal your crown
so i've started out
for god knows where
i guess i'll know
when i get there

i'm learning to fly
around the clouds
but what goes up
must come down

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing . . .

pink floyd - learning to fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb-Nacm-pKc




Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

when i look into your eyes
i can see a love restrained
but darlin' when i hold you
don't you know i feel the same
'cause nothin' lasts forever
and we both know hearts can change
and it's hard to hold a candle
in the cold november rain
we've been through this
such a long long time
just tryin' to kill the pain
yeahhh . . .
but lovers always come
and lovers always go
and no one's really sure
who's lettin' go today
walking away
if we could take the time
to lay it on the line
i could rest my head
just knowin' that you were mine
all mine
so if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
or i'll just end up walkin'
in the cold november rain

do you need some time
on your own
do you need some time
all alone
everybody needs some time
on their own
don't you know you need some time
all alone

i know it's hard to keep an open heart
when even friends seem out to harm you
but if you could heal a broken heart
wouldn't time be out to charm you

sometimes i need some time
on my own
sometimes i need some time
all alone
everybody needs some time
on their own
don't you know you need some time
all alone

and when your fears subside
and shadows still remain
i know that you can love me
when there's no one left to blame
so never mind the darkness
we still can find a way
'cause nothin' lasts forever
even cold november rain

don't ya think that you
need somebody
don't ya think that you
need someone
everybody needs somebody
you're not the only one
you're not the only one

don't ya think that you
need somebody
don't ya think that you
need someone
everybody needs somebody
you're not the only one
you're not the only one

don't ya think that you
need somebody
don't ya think that you
need someone
everybody needs somebody
you're not the only one
you're not the only one

don't ya think that you
need somebody
don't ya think that you
need someone
everybody needs somebody

Well, i built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'

Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same

Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me

And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, everything
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long . . .

I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long . . .

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB17uWuBrL0




Once I Rose Above The Noise And Confusion
Just To Get A Glimpse Beyond This Illusion
I Was Soaring Ever Higher, But I Flew Too High
Though My Eyes Could See I Still Was A Blind Man
Though My Mind Could Think I Still Was A Mad Man
I Hear The Voices When I'm Dreaming
I Can Hear Them Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son,
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Masquerading As A Man With A Reason
My Charade Is The Event Of The Season
And If I Claim To Be A Wise Man
It Surely Means That I Don't Know
On A Stormy Sea Of Moving Emotion
Tossed About I'm Like A Ship On The Ocean
I Set A Course For Winds Of Fortune
But I Hear The Voices Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Carry On
You Will Always Remember
Carry On
Nothing Equals The Splendor
Now Your Life's No Longer Empty
Surely Heaven Waits For You

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

No More

eagles - hotel california

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1971g_eagles-hotel-california_music



on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
i had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway
i heard the mission bell
i was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor,
i thought i heard them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
'there's plenty of room at the hotel california'
'any time of year' (any time of year)
'you can find it here'

her mind is tiffany-twisted
she's got the mercedes benz
she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember, some dance to forget
so I called up the captain, 'please bring me my wine'
he said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since 1969'
and still those voices are calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
they living it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
bring your alibis

mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
and she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
last thing i remember, i was running for the door
i had to find the passage back to the place i was before
'relax' said the night man, 'we are programed to receive'
'you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'
