Substitutional World

By FALCONER

You stared too long into the sun
forgot the rest of the sky
Don't let the gambler lead you astray
the truth is slipping further away
Take a good look up to the sky
and tell me what do you see
Isn't there a sun amongst the clouds?
Then where else could it be?

Substitutional world
has become their home for all time,
they will never taste the real
They live in a cage
restricted by their own hans
they will never feel free

Have you ever been dazzled

by the bright morninglight?
Have you ever heard the birds sing
have you ever tasted the gifts
of mother earth?
You've burnt all your precious wings
as you had to touch the sun
The ashes in your breath
is the bitter taste of what you've done

The higher your lucky star rises
the deeper you will fall
Who are you to impersonate gods
who are you to know it all?
As soon as you see tomorrow dawn
the future unfolds before your eyes
It's not a sweet dream you dreamed
it's a nightmare of the world's demise

[August Borms]

Eternal Glory (Rhapsody)

Echoes of terror in this old land
I see the result of their quest
Skulls of old heroes lie everywhere
in this mystical place
Dust in their eyes, dust on my pride
in this infinite journey to the ancient sword

I can hear their lament between these rocks
the whisper of an angry ghost
he speaks for them all trapped in this lost world
I am their very last hope
to ride from hell free once again
to break the chains from a bloody past for my victory

Eternal glory ride fast to me
pound in my heart for the Algalord kings
Eternal glory spread your wide wings
fly and forever lead my holy steel

I'll fight, I'll cry for your silence your name
You'll live through me I will end all your pain
for the swan in the lake the bird on the tree
the peace for my beloved lands
The black king is near and Algalord calls
so heroes of the lost valley raise all your voice

Eternal glory ride fast to me
pound in my heart for the Algalord kings
Eternal glory spread your wide wings
fly and forever lead my holy steel

The power of the Dragonflame (Rhapsody)

Rise mighty dragon...

Rise, rise, rise, rise...
Mighty dragon rise!

Ruins of ancient wisdom closing now my darkest lonely eye
god is dead in Thorald and in Elnor's rhyme
Mutilated bodies are now carved in ancient holy stone
tragic decoration of unholy wars

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The page of blood was written by them...
the dead now lying on the sand

Visions of disaster are now challenging the wild storms
cyclops of the midlands wash my bloody shore
Sirens from the open seas now heal my broken wounded brain
I call the holy typhoons... air, fire, earth!

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The poem of blood was written by them...
the dead lying now on the sand

FROM THE SILENT HILL WE SCREAM LOUD YOUR NAME
MIGHTY POWER OF THE DRAGONFLAME
FROM THE MOUNTAINS PROUD AND STRONG
WE CALL OUR DRAGONLORD

Mighty dragon rise... rise!

Energie di cosmi estinti gridano sangue
dalle terre dell'ignoto senza pieta'

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The poem of blood was written by them...
the dead lying now on the sand

FROM THE SILENT HILL WE SCREAM LOUD YOUR NAME
MIGHTY POWER OF THE DRAGONFLAME
FROM THE MOUNTAINS PROUD AND STRONG
WE CALL OUR DRAGONLORD

Demonheart

By LUCA TURILLI

CONFUTATIS MALEDICTIS TRAGEDY STORMS HIM WHEN DEMONS SPARE HER LIFE AND
ALL DISCOVER SHE HAS A DEMONHEART... DEMONHEART!
Feeling trapped in with the slimy creatures, now close to being killed
she soon revealed her forgotten, sad past first to herself they smelled
her flesh ready to be devoured but something happened they moved away
seeming to be frightened sparing her life Shocked again she opened the
gates of her tragic past and bloody images came back to her mind
She remembered the old mission the dark comet's goal beyond the suns
...the flight through that black hole...

CONFUTATIS MALEDICTIS TRAGEDY STORMS HIM WHEN DEMONS SPARE HER LIFE AND
ALL DISCOVER SHE HAS A DEMONHEART... DEMONHEART!
She lived again in some frames of sorrow that evil journey planned by
the Arias' exploring section to find new worlds But all that they found
beyond their system was the black portal depths of oblivion came back to
their world once opened it Arkan and the other warriors who observed the
scene could not feel the same way now about that girl
He moved to her taking her hand running away fast from his old friends
...all for her... he loved her...

CONFUTATIS MALEDICTIS TRAGEDY STORMS HIM WHEN DEMONS SPARE HER LIFE AND
ALL DISCOVER SHE HAS A DEMONHEART... DEMONHEART!

Only In America
Brooks and Dunn


Sun coming’ up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land

One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreamin' in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun goin' down on an LA freeway
Newly weds in the back of a limosine
A welder’s son and a banker’s daughter
All they want is every thing

She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band
They might just go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Dreamin’ in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah Only in America

Only in America

Where we dream in red white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

Only in America

Merciless Game

By RUNNING WILD

The fruits of the earth are dried up in the sun
The children can't cry anymore
Desperate parents with lean empty hands
Their bodies are too weak, too sore

Fat bottomed tycoons keep talking about hunger
And don't even know what it means
Under the cloak of pain charity
They feather their nest with your dreams

Cry for innocent children who die
An indignified death, it's a shame
Political power's more important than life
Let's stop this merciless game

Superfluous victuals piled up to the edge
The stocks are filled up to the sky
Millions of dollars for storage each year
And a nickel for people to die

We can't deny it's a shame for our race
It's about time to begin
With a fight against poverty, distress and pain
To hesitate now is a sin

Cry for innocent children who die
An indignified death, it's a shame
Political power's more important than life
Let's stop this merciless game

The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway

You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over,
I'm only sorry
That I didn't make the move before you

And when you go, I will remember
To send a thank you note to that girl
I see she's holding you so tender
Well, I just wanna say

I never really loved you anyway
No, I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad you're moving away

Valentino, I don't think so
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an MT bed
And come to think of it, I was misled
My flat, my food, my everything
And thoughts inside my head

Before you go, I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
Does she know you're not a spender
Well, I just have to say

I never really loved you anyway
No, I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad you're moving away

Angel Of Light

By VIRGIN STEELE

Hurling down with thunder from on high
An ancient evil steals across the sky
Flaming power, death is in his wake
The lord of hell returns to rend and rape

Watch the lights as they devour you
A blazing presence rips you through and through
Blinded by such beauty, caught so unaware
You're stripped and burning
In his fiery stare

Howling furies shrieking backwards lies
Phantom armies summoned by their cries
Nothing equals this astounding sight
of the Beast unveiled in this unholy light

Watch the lights as they devour you
A blazing presence rips you through and through
Blinded by such beauty, caught so unaware
You're stripped down and burning in his fiery stare

Angel of light descends on the Earth
To chanllenge the might of the Son
The Angel of light descends on the Earth
To take back the crown from the one

"No mercy doth the Dragon bring
Harken now his beating wings
Fire dances on the air
The seventh serpent leaves his lair
Invoking all the hounds of Hades
The shrouded angels meet his gaze
Spouting flames upon the wise
The legions steal into the skies"
....to fly, to fly...

Crushing, burning, locked in wars embrace
The desolate one meets with his fiery fate
His armies smitten by the sword of Him
Our Lord of Lords, the holy King of Kings

No more fear of phantoms of the night
Rejoice in the city of unending light
No more tears or dying, on his throne he's shining
Raise the chalice for eternity

Angel of light descends on the Earth
And dies by the roar of the One
The Angel of light descends on the Earth
And is crushed by the might of the One

Burning Of Rome (Cry For Pompeii)

By VIRGIN STEELE

Far from paradise
Where the winds of war
Are blowing freely
In my tired eyes
Run the bloody hosts
Of Ares' slaughter
Face to face- with fear and death and hate
Time to say goodbye- draw your last breath
For I conquer

When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on

Darling don't delay
For they're rushing
From a thousand thrones now
Cry another day
When the memory
Brings you back the vision
Tonight I die- but my life is in you
On my way- but I want to touch you, want to love you...

When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on

One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son
Remember to tell him the price we had to pay
And cry for Pompeii- cry for pompeii!

When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on

One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son
Remember to tell him the price we had to pay
And cry for Pompeii- cry for pompeii!

I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son
I'll return...Open the gates, I'm coming home tonight
Black tears will fall and the flames will crack the sky
Oh I see you cry...
I'm calling you...
I'm coming home...

[SlowwHand]

But I Was Cool
Albert Collins

I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you, honestly feel
I lived all my life this way, ha
For example, take yesterday:

I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said:

Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow
What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
Ooo wow uh
But I was cool!

So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me,
An' when I read, the sentence there, I said:

"Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know
What? what went wrong?
I don't underst... I oh a,
But I was cool!

So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay
And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog, dead!

Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say,
"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Relative Ways

It's hard to imagine, it's so hard to perceive
To find an expression for what it all means
All panic and struggle, all death and decay
Are coming together in relative ways
This electric guitar hanging to my knees
A couple of verses I can barely breathe
But it's all right, it's o.k.k.
It's coming together in relative ways

It's started to happen, it's started to change
With the movement up on us, hope we make it o.k.
If it takes a life or a couple of days
It's coming together in relative ways
This electric guitar hanging to my knees
A couple of verses I can barely breathe
But it's all right, it's o.k.k.
It's coming together in relative ways

Diamonds and Guns - The Transplants

bombs going off in Sierra Leone
taken more shots than Karl Malone
Battle looms, your doom, injustice entombed
Who got the diamonds? Who gonna find them?
Who gonna mine them, when the time comes?
Diamonds and Guns, Diamonds and Guns.

[chorus:]
It's a wicked world that we live in
It's cruel and unforgiving
It's a wicked world that we live in
It's cruel and unforgiving

Knock, knock, knock, who's that? It's Momma, son
Lookin' for the ***** who took the money and run
Now the daylight's gone and there's no more fun
And who's the ****in' ***** who stole all the heroin?
Heroin, heroin, it's all gone
Smoked it all up, and now you got none
And now you look around and that's not the plan
This is not what you had in mind

I shot in heaven, now I cry
No one lives forever, in fact we all die
From those who bust shots to those who stuff cops
To those who serve rocks on all the hard blocks

Every last soul must pay the last toll
In the dice game of life, who gets the last roll?
Is it the one with the suit? The one with the sack?
The one who hides behind his ****in' gun and his badge?
Negative outlook? Well that's how I'm livin'
And like he said, it's a wicked world we live in
It's a wicked world we live in

I'm wiggin out, flippin' out, heart is what I'm rippin' out
I'm slippin' out, I'm dippin' out, killin's what I'm livin' out
Pick 'em, let me pick 'em out, spin and let me whip it out
Gat to your face with the ****in' bullets stickin' out
Missin' out, diss and bout, blood's what you're pissin' out
84 I'm Crazy Horse, shootin' up, I'm illin' out
Rippin' out, I'm trippin' out, different now, I'm pimpin' out
any color at my belt and ouch while they're clippin out
Criminal I'm hittin' out, in L.A. no gettin' out
2 1 3, pack your P, fly wicked style
Listen now, I'm sinnin' out, a 6-pack I'm sippin' out

[Chorus]

Be your own best friend tonight
And play it cool

Don't get jealous
Don't get over-zealous
Keep your cool
Don't whine
Kiss of that flaky valentine
You're nobody's fool
Be cool fool

I think I found a new personal theme song.

[SlowwHand]

Mississippi Squirrel


Well when I was kid I'd take a trip
every summer,
down to Mississippi.
To visit my granny in her ante bellum world.I'd run barefooted all day long,
climbing trees free as a song.
One day I happened catch myself a squirrel.
I stuffed him down in an old shoebox,
punched a couple holes in the top and when Sunday came,
I snuck him into church.
I was sittin way back in the very last pew
showin him to my good buddy Hugh,
when that squirrel got loose
and went totally berserk!

Well what happened next is hard to tell.
Some thought it was heaven others thought it was hell.
But the fact that something was among us
was plain to see.
As the choir sang I Surrender All
the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls
harv leaped to his feet anmd said,
"Somethin's got a hold on me!"
YEOW

The day the squirrel went berserk.
In the First Self-Righteous Church
Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula.
It was a fight for survival,
that broke out in revival.
They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah!

Well Harv hit the isles dancin and screamin
some thought he had religion
others thought he had a demon
Harv thought he had a weed eater loose
in his fruit of the looms.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg,
and that squirrel ran out of his britches leg,
unobserved to the other side of the room.

All the way down to the Amen pew
where sat Sister Bertha better than you
Who had been watching all the commotion
with sadistic glee.
You should've seen the look in her eyes
when that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs.
she jumped to her feet and said,
"Lord have mercy on me!"
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress,
she began to cry and then to confess
to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame.

She told of gossip and church disention,
but the thing that got the most attention
is when she talked about her love life
then she started naming names!

The day the squirrel went berserk.
In the First Self-Righteous Church
Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula.
It was a fight for survival,
that broke out in revival.
They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah!

Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved
and 25,000 dollars got raised.
And 50 volunteered for missions in the Congo
on the spot.
and even without and invitaion
there were at least 500 rededications.
And we ALL got rebaptised whether we needed it or not.

Well you've heard the Bible stories I guess
of how he parted the waters for Moses to pass.
All th miracles God has brought to this l' world.
But the one I'll remember to my dyin day
is how he put that church back on the narrow way
with a half crazed Mississippi Squirrel

The day the squirrel went berserk.
In the First Self-Righteous Church
Of that sleepy little town of Pascagoula.
It was a fight for survival,
that broke out in revival.
They were jumpin pews and shouting Halelujah!

Indulge me - I've had a terrible day.

Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought
It figures?

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his su-u-u-itcase
And kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought
It figures?

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought
It figures?

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out


Surrendering

you were full and fully capable
you were self sufficient and needless
your house was fully decorated in that sense

you were taken with me to a point
a case of careful what you wish for
but what you knew was enough to begin

and so you called and courted fiercely
so you reached out, entirely fearless
and yet you knew of reservation and how it serves

and I salute you for your courage
and I applaud your perseverance
and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces
that I represent

so you were in but not entirely
you were up for this but not totally
you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt

and so you fell and you're intact
so you dove in and you're still breathing
so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked

and I support you in your trusting
and I commend you for your wisdom
and I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces
that I represent

you found creative ways to distance
you hid away from much through humor
your choice of armor was your intellect

and so you felt and you're still here
and so you died and you're still standing
and so you softened and you're still safely in command

self protection was in times of true danger
your best defense to mistrust and be wary
surrendering a feat of unequalled measure
and I'm thrilled to let you in
overjoyed to be let in in kind

[Clear Skies]

Green Day - Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes you're at your best
when you look the worst
Do you feel washed up
like piss going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
I'm so ****ing happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth and now the joke's on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy

Oh nice guys finish last,
when you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
you might break your spine

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust
taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You kill your memory

Itchycoo Park
Small Faces


Over bridge of sighs to rest my eyes
In shades of green
Under dreaming spires, to Itchycoo park
That's where I've been

What did you do there? I got high
What did you feel there? Well I cried
But why the tears there? Tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
it's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
While I search for fun in the sun

I tell you what I'll do (What will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school(Won't that be cool?)
Why go to learn the words of fools

What do we do there? Well get high
(What will we touch there?) We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind .......

It's all too beautiful

M People - Search for the Hero Inside Yourself

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves
It's a shame
Oh life like love that walks out of the door
Of being rich or being poor
Such a shame

But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make you feel at least alive
And that's why you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

In this life long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream
Aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find

Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feel supreme

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life

This thread needs some rock and roll, badly!

King In Crimson

By BRUCE DICKENSON

In the darkness, the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here

Daylight has come
The night has come

See his twisted sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise

As the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flame

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise awake

The King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now

As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson, crimson comes

To your window he comes

At your window I come

The Last In Line

By RONNIE JAMES DIO

We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way you go is down

It Might Be You

Time
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Many be all we need is time

And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life

May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life

On And On


Down in Jamaica
They go lots of pretty women
Steal your money
Then they break your heart
Lonesome sue, she's in love with ol'Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan

On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying
On and on, On and on, On and on

Poor ol'Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on sinatra and starts to cry

On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when he feels like crying
On and on, On and on, On and on

when the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
Don't let her say: Goodnight

Got the sun on my shoulders
And my toes in the sand
My woman's left me for the some other man
Aw, but I don't care
I'll just dream and stay tan
Toos up my heart to see where it lands

On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when I feel like dying
On and on (9x)

Save It For A Rainy Day
Backing vocals: Chaka Khan

Well she's kinda pretty
Drives a big car too
And when I hold her in my arms
I never know what to do
She's got everything she needs
What does she need me for
Just a crazy fool comin' back for more
And I know she's no good
Can't blame her but I know I should
Everybody says-a watch out boy
She'll break your heart like it was a toy

You better save it for a rainy day
You better save it for a rainy day

Well I'd leave in a minute if I only could
But when she touches me
It makes me feel so good
My heart's in her hand this is sure a mess
There's no way I say "no"
When she says "yes, yes, yes!"

Take me, shake me and tell me this ain't a dream
Everybody says-a watch out boy
She'll break your heart like it was a toy

You better save it for a rainy day
You better save it for a rainy day

(Instrumental)

Save it for a rainy day
You better save it for a rainy day
You better (save it) save it for a rainy day
You better (save it) save it for a rainy day
(Oh, I'm talking to you)
You better (save it) save it for a rainy day
(Ah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You better (save it) save it for a rainy day
(Ah-ah, yeah yeah I'm talking to you)

(Repeat and fade)

La tribu de Dana (Manau)

Le vent souffle sur les plaines de la Bretagne armoricaine,
je jette un dernier regard sur ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine.
Akim, le fils du forgeron est venu me chercher,
les druides ont décidé de mener le combat dans la vallée.
Là, où tous nos ancêtres, de géants guerriers celtes, après de
grandes batailles, se sont imposés en maîtres, c'est l'heure
maintenant de défendre notre terre contre une armée de
Simeriens prête à croiser le fer.
Toute la tribu s'est réunie autour de grands menhirs,
pour invoquer les dieux afin qu'ils puissent nous bénir.
Après cette prière avec mes frères sans faire état de zèle,
les chefs nous ont donné à tous des gorgées d'hydromel,
pour le courage,
pour pas qu'il y ait de faille,
pour rester grands et fiers quand nous serons dans la bataille car c'est la première fois pour moi que je pars au combat et j'espère être digne de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN:
Dans la vallée de Dana La lilala.
Dans la vallée j'ai pu entendre les échos.
Dans la vallée de Dana La lilala.
Dans la vallée des chants de guerre près des tombeaux.

Après quelques incantations de druides et de magie,
toute la tribu,
la glaive en main courait vers l'ennemi,
la lutte était terrible et je ne voyais que les ombres,
tranchant l'ennemi qui revenait toujours en surnombre.
Mes frères tombaient l'un après l'autre devant mon regard,
sous le poids des armes que possédaient tous ces barbares,
des lances, des haches et des épées dans le jardin d'Eden qui écoulait du sang sur l'herbe verte de la plaine.
Comme ces jours de peine où l'homme se traîne à la limite du règne du mal et de la haine,
fallait-il continuer ce combat déjà perdu,
mais telle était la fierté de toute la tribu,
la lutte a continué comme ça jusqu'au soleil couchant,
de férocité extrême en plus d'acharnement,
fallait défendre la terre de nos ancêtres enterrés là et pour toutes les lois de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN

Au bout de la vallée on entendait le son d'une corne,
d'un chef ennemi qui rappelait toute sa horde,
avait-il compris qu'on lutterait même en enfer et qu'à la tribu de Dana appartenaient ces terres.
Les guerriers repartaient, je ne comprenais pas tout le chemin qu'ils avaient fait pour en arriver là,
quand mon regard se posa tout autour de moi,
j'étais le seul debout de la tribu voilà pourquoi.

Mes doigts se sont écartés tout en
lâchant mes armes et le long de mes joues se sont mises à couler des larmes,
je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi les dieux m'ont épargné de ce jour noir de notre histoire que j'ai contée.
Le vent souffle toujours sur la Bretagne armoricaine et j'ai rejoins ma femme,
mon fils et mon domaine,
j'ai tout reconstruit de mes mains pour en arriver là,
je suis devenu roi de la tribu de Dana.

Ma Belle Ami



Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
Apres tous les beaux jours
Je te dis merci merci
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

CHORUS Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
Let's all give my substitute a big cheer
Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
For the man after him waits here
For the man after him waits here

Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
There was a time that you thought
That your only friend was me
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

CHORUS

[Clear Skies]

Go Your Own Way

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever
Change things that I feel?

If I could, maybe
I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why everything turned around
Packing up, shacking up
Is all you wanna do
If I could, baby, I'd give you my
World. Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way,
Go your own way....


Don't Stop

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Cos yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Don't you look back
Don't you look back


As Long As You Follow

I've been searching
For a pot of gold
Like the kind you find
At the end of the rainbow

I've been dreaming
Thought it was in vain
Ah, but now you're here
Can't believe that you're back again

Now I know I can't lose
As long as you follow
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna beg, steal, or borrow
As long as you follow

I've been wandering
Gone away too far
But the road was rough
To get back where you are

And the sun went down
It never seemed to rise
Ah, but now you're here
With the light shining in your eyes

Now I know I can't lose
As long as you follow
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes, I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow

I have The Dance video.

Valerie
Steve Winwood


So wild standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face
Here in her place

So cool she was like jazz
On a summer's day
Music high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

Valerie call on me
Call on me Valerie come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying
Her cries hang there in time somewhere

Someday some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night I may hear her
Like she used to be
No it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

Valerie call on me
Call on me Valerie come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

So cool she was like jazz
On a summer's day
Music high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

Valerie call on me
Call on me Valerie come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
