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 . . .

Boston - Rock And Roll Band

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGIAc3DHa6I



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
and we practiced right on out in the street
no, we didn't have much money
we barely made enough to survive
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
sign a record company contract
you know i've got great expectations
when i hear you on the car radio
you're gonna be a sensation!"

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

Moody Blues - I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_J-hmyAS6c



i'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
meeting so many people
who are trying to be free
and while i'm traveling i hear so many words
language barriers broken
now we've found the key

and if you want the wind of change
to blow about you
and you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
i'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

a thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
only who is the artist
we got to agree
a thousand miles can lead so many ways
just to know who is driving
what a help it would be

so if you want this world of yours
to turn about you
and you can see exactly what to do
please tell me
i'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

how can we understand
riots by the people for the people
who are only destroying themselves
and when you see a frightened
person who is frightened by the
people who are scorching this earth, scorching this earth

i'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
meeting so many people
who are trying to be free
and while i'm traveling i hear so many words
language barriers broken
now we've found the key

and if you want the wind of change
to blow about you
and you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
i'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

i'm just a singer in a rock and roll band

how can we understand
riots by the people for the people
who are only destroying themselves
and when you see a frightened
person who is frightened by the
people who are scorching this earth, scorching this earth

music is the traveler crossing our world
meeting so many people bridging the seas
i'm just a singer in a rock and roll band . . .
we're just the singers in a rock and roll band . . .

Bad Company - Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3P7xlVhqJM



here come the jesters, 1 2 3
it's all part of my fantasy
i love the music
and i love to see the crowd
dancing in the aisles,
and singin' out loud . . . yea
here come the dancers, one by one
your momma's callin' but you're having fun
you find your dancin' on the number 9 cloud
put your hands together now, and sing it out loud

it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy
it's all part of my rock and roll dream
it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy
it's all part of my rock and roll dream

put out the spotlights, one and all,
and let the feelin'get down to your soul
the music's so loud, you can hear the sound
reaching for the sky, churnin' up the ground
it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy
it's all part of my rock and roll dream
it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy
it's all part of my rock and roll dream . . .
