Don't Haffi Dread

(Morgan Heritage)

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah - ragga so ragga

 

You don't ha fi dread to be rasta (don't ha fi dread)

This is not a dreadlocks thing

Divine conception of the heart, well

 

 

Oh, it's a life of a livity

Lived by the fathers of our history

Uphold the anciency and prophecy

Trust in the power of the Trinity, yeah

Got to believe in His Majesty

Oh yes, his lineage an divinity

The first step is serenity

Knowing one self's true royalty, yeah

 

You don't ha fi dread to be rasta, yeah

(don't ha fi dread)

This is not a dreadlocks thing

Divine conception of the heart, well

 

 

 

Don't be afraid of Jah ever burning fire

Trust in Jah fire and you never get burn

The fire that reigns over heat, air and water

No water can put out Jah fire

Jah fire gonna lift Rasta higher

 

You don't ha fi dread to be rasta, yeah

(don't ha fi dread)

This is not a dreadlocks thing

Divine conception of the heart, well

"Ultraviolet (Light My Way)"

 

Sometimes I feel like I don't know

Sometimes I feel like checkin' out

I want to get it wrong

Can't always be strong

And love it won't be long...

 

Oh sugar, don't you cry

Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes

You know I need you to be strong

And the day is as dark as the night is long

Feel like trash, you make me feel clean

I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

 

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

(alright now)

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

 

You bury your treasure

Where it can't be found

But your love is like a secret

That's been passed around

There is a silence that comes to a house

Where no one can sleep

I guess it's the price of love

I know it's not cheap

 

(oh, come on)

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

(oh, come on)

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

 

Oh...ultraviolet...

Ultraviolet...

Ultraviolet...

Ultraviolet...

 

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

 

I remember

When we could sleep on stones

Now we lie together

In whispers and moans

When I was all messed up

And I had opera in my head

Your love was a light bulb

Hanging over my bed

 

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

(oh, come on)

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

 

Ultraviolet...

[Repeat 4 times]

 

Baby, baby, baby...

Baby, baby, baby...

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

[Repeat 3 times]

 

Baby, baby, baby...light my way

STING

"Seven Days"

 

"Seven Days" was all she wrote

A kind of ultimatum note

She gave to me, she gave to me

When I thought the field had cleared

It seems another suit appeared

To challenge me, woe is me

Though I hate to make a choice

My options are decreasing mostly rapidly

Well we'll see

I don't think she'd bluff this time

I really have to make her mine

It's plain to see

It's him or me

 

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday

If I make up my mind

Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind

Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait

But Sunday'd be too late

 

The fact that he's six feet ten

Might instill fear in other men

But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?)

Ask if I am mouse or man

The mirror squeaked, away I ran

He'll murder me in time for his tea

Does it bother me at all

My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think

Perhaps I need a drink

IQ is no problem here

We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear

I need that beer

 

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday

If I make up my mind

Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind

Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait

But Sunday'd be too late

 

Seven days will quickly go

The fact remains, I love her so

Seven days, so many ways

But I can't run away

 

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday

If I make up my mind

Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind

Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait

But Sunday'd be too late

Do I have to tell a story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Foolish Little Girl

 

Written by Helen Miller & Howard Greenfield

Recorded by The Shirelles

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(spoken)

"You broke his heart and made him cry,

And he's been blue since then".

"Now he's found somebody new

And you want him back again".

 

(sung)

Foolish little girl, fickle little girl

You didn't want him when he wanted you

He's found another love, it's her he's dreaming of

And there's not a single thing that you can do.

 

"But I love him."

"No you don't it's just your pride that's hurt"

"I still love him."

"If you got him back again,you'd go right out and do him dirt"

 

Foolish little girl, fickle little girl

You didn't want him when he wanted you

He's found another love, it's her he's dreaming of

And there's not a single thing that you can do.

 

"But I love him."

"It's too late to have a change of heart."

"I still love him."

"Tomorrow is his wedding day and you'll keep quiet if you're smart!"

 

[instrumental Interlude]

 

Foolish little girl, fickle little girl

You didn't want him when he wanted you

He's found another love, it's her he's dreaming of

And there's not a single thing that you can do.

 

"Forget him cause he don't belong to you."

"It's too late he's found somebody new."

"There's not a single thing that you can do."

The Only Love I had

written and recorded by Venice

 

Once upon a time

A long time ago

I thought that I should leave you

I thought that you should go

I never really said goodbye

I never even heard you cry

And after all this time, it's hard to say

The only love I had, I sent away

 

Ah, but you were young

Younger than I knew

I hope you can forgive me

I was younger too

I really thought that I could see

What was best for you and me

Though after all this time, it's hard to say

'Cause the only love I had, I sent away

 

Sometimes as I lay here in the dark

I wonder where you're sleeping

If you think of me at all

Are you warm?

Are you happy where you are?

Do you sometimes feel like weeping

When the summers turn to fall?

Do you think of me at all?

 

And so I send this out

Wherever you may be

To tell you I still love you

You're still a part of me

And if you could ever find a way

I'll be hoping for the day

When you can smile at me and tell me it's okay

That the only love I had, I sent away

this cut does a lot of replaying with me lately. i wonder....

 

 

FALLEN -SARAH MCLACHLAN

 

Heaven bent to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight

 

Truth be told I've tried my best

But somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear

 

Though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

Better I should know

So don't come 'round here

And tell me I told you so...

 

We all begin with good intent

Love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

The past could be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden

Time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything

That I have held so dear...

 

I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

Better I should know

So don't come 'round here

And tell me I told you so...

 

Heaven bent to take my hand

Nowhere left to turn

I'm lost to those I thought were friends

To everyone I know

Oh they turned their heads embarassed

Pretend that they don't see

But it's one missed step

And you'll slip before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed...

 

Though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

Better I should know

So don't come 'round here

And tell me I told you so...

LIKE A SONG -U2

 

Like a song I have to sing

I sing it for you

Like the words I have to bring

I bring them for you

 

And in leather, lace and chains

We stake our claim

Revolution once again

No, I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve

I can see through this expression

And you know I don't believe

I'm too old to be told

Exactly who are you?

Tonight - tomorrow's too late

 

And we love to wear a badge, a uniform

And we love to fly a flag

But I won't let others live in hell

As we divide against each other

And we fight amongst ourselves

 

Too set in our ways to try to rearrange

Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song

Let the bells ring out

Let the bells ring out

Is there nothing left?

Is there nothing left?

Is honesty what you want?

 

A generation without name, ripped and torn

Nothing to lose - nothing to gain

Nothing at all

And if you can't help yourself

Well, take a look around you

When others need your time

You say it's time to go - it's your time

Angry words won't stop the fight

Two wrongs won't make it right

A new heart is what I need

Oh God, make it bleed

Is there nothing left?

BEAUTIFUL DAY - U2

 

The heart is a bloom - shoots up through the stony ground

There's no room - no space to rent in this town

You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care

The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

 

It's a beautiful day - the sky falls

You feel like it's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

 

You're on the road, but you've got no destination

You're in the mud - in the maze of her imagination

You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true

You've been all over, and it's been all over you

 

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

It's a beautiful day

 

Touch me - take me to that other place

Teach me - I know I'm not a hopeless case

 

See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the Bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

See the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colours came out

 

It was a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

Beautiful day

 

Touch me - take me to that other place

Reach me - I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now

What you don't know you can feel somehow

What you don't have you don't need it now

Don't need it now

It was a beautiful day

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU - U2

 

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or without you

With or without you

 

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

 

My hands are tied - my body bruised

She's got me with nothing to win

And nothing left to lose

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

 

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you .......

 

 

 

grrrrrrrrr----oh well.

THE ONLY ONE

Lionel Richie

(Lionel Richie/David Foster)

 

version of Brownman Revival

 

Let me tell you now

All that's on my mind

For a love like yours

Is oh, so very hard to find

I've looked inside myself

Now I'm very sure

There can only be you for me

I need you more and more ...

 

CHORUS:

You turned me inside out and you showed me

What life was about

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

I wanna do all I can, just to show you

Make you understand

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

 

When you're in my arms

When I'm close to you

There's a magic in your touch

That just comes shining through

Want you everyday

Want you every night

There can only be you for me

You make it seem so right

Oh, girl, 'cause ...

 

CHORUS:

You turned me inside out and you showed me

What life was about

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

 

(Instrumental)

Ohhh

Oooohhhh....

 

In my mind, there's no other love

You're the only girl my heart and soul is thinking of

Only you, only me

There can never ever be another

That understands the way that I feel inside, 'cause ...

 

CHORUS:

You turned me inside out and you showed me

What life was about

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

Yeah, you turned me inside out and you showed me

What life was about

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

 

(You stole my heart away)

You stole it, (you stole my heart away)

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

Yeah you, (you stole my heart away)

Oh you stole it, (you stole my heart away)

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away

(You stole my heart away)

(Begin Fade)

Stole it, (you stole my heart away)

Only you Baby, the only one that stole my heart away ...

THROUGH THE FIRE

Chaka Khan

(D. Foster/T. Keane/C. Weil)

 

version of Paolo Santos

 

I'd look in your eyes and I can see

We've looked so dangerously

You're not trustin' your heart to anyone

 

You tell me you're gonna play it smart

We're through before we start

But I believe that we've only just begun

 

When it's this good there's no saying no

I want you so, I'm ready to go

 

Through the fire

To the limit, to the wall

For a chance to be with you

I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire

Through whatever come what may

For a chance of loving you

I'd take it all the way

Right down to the wire

Even through the fire

 

I know you're afraid of what you feel

You still need time to heal

And I can help if you'll only let me try

 

You touched me and somethin' in my knew

What I could have with you

Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye

 

When it's this sweet there's no saying no

I need you so, I'm ready to go

 

Through the fire

To the limit, to the wall

For a chance to be with you

I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire

Through whatever come what may

For a chance of loving you

I'd take it all the way

Right down to the wire

Even through the fire

 

Through the test of time

 

Through the fire

To the limit, to the wall

For a chance to be with you

I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire

Through whatever come what may

For a chance of loving you

I'd take it all the way

Right down to the wire

Even through the fire

 

To the wire

To the limit

Through the fire

To whatever

Through the fire

To the limit

Through the fire

To whatever

 

To the wire

To the limit

Through the fire

To whatever

Through the fire

To the limit

Through the fire

To whatever

Officially Missing You

Tamia

 

[Verse One]

 

officially missin you....

 

hmmmm...mmmmm.......

 

All I hear is raindrops

Falling on the rooftop

Oh baby tell me why’d you have to go

Cause this pain I feel

It wont go away

And today I’m officially missing you

I thought that from this heartache

I could escape

But I fronted long enough to know

There ain’t no way

And today

I’m officially missing you

 

[Chorus]

(Ohhhh) can’t nobody do it like you

Said every little thing you do

Hey baby say

stays on my mind

And I, and I, I’m officially

[Verse Two]

All I do is lay around

Two ears full tears

From looking at your face on the wall ( face on the wall)

Just a week ago you were my baby

Now I don’t even know you at all

don’t know you at all

Well I wish that you would call me right now

So that I could get through to you somehow

But I guess it’s safe to say baby safe to say

That I’m, That I'm officially missing you

 

[Chorus]

(Ohhhh) can’t nobody do it like you

Said every little thing you do

Hey baby say

stays on my mind

And I, and I, I’m officially

 

[Verse Two]

 

[bridge]

Well I thought I could just get over you baby

But I see that’s something I just can’t do

From the way you would hold me

To the sweet things you told me

I just can’t find a way

To let go of you

 

[Chorus]

 

It official

You know that I’m missing you

oohhh Yeah yes

All I hear is raindrops

ooohhh yeah

And I’m officially missing you

 

 

ooooooooooooooooo.........mmmmmm

really been a looooooooooong time hehehe.....

nice to see ya back......

 

well I can't really contribute any lyrics - I'm into my Jazz phase now - where all I listen to are guitar instrumentals of Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Al DiMeola.......oh, if only their compositions had lyrics - I wonder what the words will be to San Lorenzo, Mediterranean Sundance, Racing With the Devil on Spanish Highway, Or Else, Are you Going With Me?..........

 

know what? A Metheny fan said that on his burial he would like Are You Going With Me? to be played..........His wife vehemently objected, hehehe
