Desperado

Written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley

Performed by The Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
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
Now 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 walking 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 feeling 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)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

Straight Up

Written by Elliot M Wolff

Performed by Paula Abdul

… Lost in a dream
I don't know which way to go (oh, let me say)
If you are all that you seem
Then baby, I'm movin' way too slow

… I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
How about some information, please

… Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

… Time's standin' still
Waitin' for some (waitin' for some) small clue (oh, let me tell you)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love (when I think your love) is true

… I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
How about some information, please?

… Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

… You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek with your true intentions
If you're only playin' games I'll just have to say
Bye-bye-bye-bye, bye-bye-bye-bye

… Do, do you love me?
Do, do you love me, baby?
C'mon now, do, do you love me?
Do, do you love me?
Tell me baby?

… I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me?
Or am I a page in your history book?
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information, please (please, please, please)

… Straight up now tell me, tell me
Straight up now tell me, tell me
Straight up now tell me, tell me
Straight up now tell me, tell me
Straight up now tell me, tell me

… Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

… Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

… Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh

Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

Written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe

Performed by Pet Shop Boys

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of...

I've had enough of scheming
And messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question
Do you want to be rich?

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
Choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them
You know there's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
(Make or break them)

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of...
Money

You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it?
Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner
Regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense

Let's (Got the brains)
Make (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
(Let's) You've got the brawn
(Make) I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
I've got the brains (Got the brains)
You've got the looks (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
Money

All the love that we had
And the love that we hide
Who will bury us
When we die?

Dreamland

Written by Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson and Keith Strickland

Performed by The B-52s

Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Where the things I want will come true.
For in dreamland they always do.
So meet me tonight in dreamland.

Meet me on the path of green
Where nightmares disappear in dreams,
Sleeping as one.
Flowered river carries us down
To dreamland.

In dreams,
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue.
In dreams,
As it carries the thoughts I have of you.
In dreams,
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue.
Dreamland, dreamland!

The wind is a perfume of blossoms that hide
From the people who'd trample a dream such as ours;
Blossoms that fall frome trees so tall.
That falling is floating in heaven for hours.
Trees that are towers, that rise above
The bower of dreams where I lie with my love.
Dreams that fly from our hearts to each other.
Shared thoughts of our love under the covers.

In dreams,
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue.
In dreams,
As it carries the thoughts I have of you.
In dreams,
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue.
Dreamland, dreamland!

With kisses, we are entwined
With the lillies and the vines,
All on the path.
Last night I dreamed I had burning hands,
Reaching for beautiful visions,
And everythng was shimmering.

The friends that have walked on before us
Are waiting to take us to laughter and dancing.
The friends that have walked on before us
Are waiting to take us to the sky.

I dreamed I was in a boat floating on air
And everything ws there,
And everything was shimmering.

There Ain't Nothing Wrong with the Radio

Written by Aaron Tippin and Buddy Brock

Performed by Aaron Tippin

Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't
More than once she's left me on the side of the road
The older she gets the slower we go
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires
She's ridin' me around on four bald tires
The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual antennas whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in
She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

I got stopped by a cop late last night
Out-of-date tags and no tail lights
He said I oughta run you in but I'm lettin' you go
Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio
I got the best lookin' gal in my hometown
I asked her last time that I took her out
Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so
She said there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio

I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual antennas whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in
She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I wanna be there in my city?

Oh, oo, oh
Ohh, oo, ohh
Oh, oo, oh

So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I wanna get back to my city by the bay

Ohh, ohh
Oh, oo, oh

It's sad, oh there's been mornings
Out on the road without you
Without your charms

Oh, oo, oh
My, my, my
My, my, my
Ohh, ohh
Oh, oo, oh

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I wanna be there in my city?

Ohh, oo, oh

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I wanna be there in my city?

And if I had the chance I'd never let you go

Can You Picture That

Written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher

Performed by Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mahem

Oh yeah, whoo

Everybody's lover, everybody's brother, I wanna be your lifetime friend

Crazy as a rocket, nothin' in my pocket, I keep it at the rainbow's end

I never think of money, I think of milk 'n honey, grinnin' like a Cheshire cat

I focus on the pleasure, somethin' I can treasure, can you picture that?

Can you picture that?

 

Hey Floyd, take a verse

 

Let me take your picture, add it to the mixture, there it is I got you now

Really nothin' to it, anyone can do it, it's easy and we all know how

Now begins the changin', mental rearrangin', nothing's really where it's at

 

Now the Eiffel Tower's holdin' up a flower

I gave it to a Texas cat

Fact is there's nothin' out there you can't do

Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you

 

Beat down the walls, begin, believe, behold, begat

Be a better drummer, be an up and comer

Can you picture that?

 

Can you picture that?

You might also like

 

Alright

All of us are winnin, pickin and a-grinnin, Lordy but I love to jam

Jelly-belly gigglin', dancin' and a-wigglin', honey that's the way I am

Lost my heart in Texas, Northern lights affect us

I keep it underneath my hat

Aurora Borealis, shining down on Dallas, can you picture that?

 

Can you picture that?

Can you picture?

You gotta see it in your mind

Can you picture?

What's quick and easy to find

Can you picture?

You don't have to buy a frame

Can you picture? Can you picture that?

Can you picture that?

Keep on Loving You

Written by Kevin Patrick Cronin, Jr.

Performed by REO Speedwagon

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missin'
You should have known by the tone of my voice maybe
But you didn't listen

You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you laid still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin'

And you know I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us baby, way before them
And we're still together

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Baby, I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Performed by Elton John

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
