Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you
think my
collection's
complete?
Wouldn't you
think I'm the girl
The girl who
has ev'rything
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders
can one cavern hold?
Looking around
here you'd think
sure She's got
ev'rything
I've got gadgets
and gizmos aplenty
I've got who-zits
and what-zits galore
You want
the thing amabobs
I've got
twenty
But who cares? No
big deal I want more
I wanna be where
the people are
I wanna see wanna
see'em dancin'
Walkin'
around on those
What-d-ya call
'em oh feet
Flippin' your fins
you don't get too far
Legs are required for
jumpin' dancin'
Strollin' along
down the
What's that
word again street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay
all day in the sun
Wanderin' free wish
I could be
part of
that world
What would
I give if I could
live outta
these waters
What would
I pay to
spend a day
warm on the sand
Betcha on land
they understand
Bet they
don't reprimand
their
daughters
Bright
young women
sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know
what the people know
Ask'em my questions
and get some answers
What's a
fire and why
does it what's
the word burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
love to explore
that shore up above
Out at the
sea wish
I could be
part of that world

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break
the spell
That you've created
you're something
Beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be
the death of me
Yeah you will be
the death of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
Now that you know
I'm trapped
Since ovulation
you'd never dream of
Breaking
this fixation
You will squeeze
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
But our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

Yeah you will suck
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

Uhm uhm

Some people live

To prove you love him

On a silver platter

with me baby-

Well take me
back down
Where cool water
flows yeah
Let me remember
things I love
Stoppin' at the log
where catfish bite
Walkin' along
the river road
At night
barefoot girls
Dancin' in
the moonlight
I can hear
the bullfrog
Callin' me
wonder if my rope's
Still hangin'
to the tree
Love to kick
my feet way down
The shallow water
shoefly dragonfly
Get back your mother
pick up a flat rock
Skip it across
Green River well-

Up at cody's camp
I spent my days
With flat car
riders and
Cross-tie walkers
old cody junior
Took me over
said you're gonna
Find the world
is smouldrin
And if you get lost
come on home
To Green River
well-

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too

No I can't feel
so strong

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look

But I just can't
go on with lie

I may be wrong
But I'd better go now

Now I just can't go on
I've been away too

No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

Love of my life
you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
and now you leave me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back

Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me
Love of my life
don't leave me
You've taken my love
you now desert me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me-

You will remember when
this is blown over
And everything's
all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there
At your side
to remind you
How I still love you
I still love you-

Back hurry back
please bring it back
Home to me because
you don't know
What it means to me
love of my life
Love of my life
ooh-

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains

Life is old there

younger than
the mountains
growing like a breeze
Country
Roads take me
home to the place
I belong
West Virginia
mountain momma
TAKE ME
HOME COUNTRY ROADS
All my mem'ries
gather 'round her
Miner's lady
stranger

Dark and justy

misty taste

teardrop in my eye

TAKE ME
HOME COUNTRY ROADS
I hear her voice
in the morning hours
she calls me
the radio reminds me
of my home
far away
and drivin' down
the road
I get a feeling that
I should have
been home
yesterday
yesterday
Country Roads

I fell in love with you
watching Casablanca
Back row at
the drive in show in
the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes
beneath the stars
became champagne
and caviar
Making love on a long
hot summer's night
I thought you fell in
love with me
watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath
the paddle fans
in Rick's candle
lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows
from the spies
Moroccan moonlight
in your eyes
Making magic
at the movies
in my old chevrolet
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not
a kiss without
your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I guess there are many
broken hearts
in Casablanca
You know I've never
really been there so
I don't know
I guess our love story
will never be seen
on the big wide
silver screen
But it hurt just as bad
when I had to watch
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
Ooh a kiss is still a
kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

One touch
and you got me stoned
Higher
than I've ever known
You call the shots
and I'll follow
Sunrise but the
night's still young
No words but we're
speaking tongues
If you let me
I might say too much
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
Can't sleep 'cause
I'm way too buzzed
Too late now
you're in my blood
I don't hate the way
you keep me up
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo

'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
By you
woo woo woo

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----

You touched my life

My wish was
your command
until you ran
out of love
Tell myself I'm free
Got the chance
of living
Just for me
No need to hurry home
Now that
you're gone Knife
cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply
wounded Knife cuts
like a Knife
You cut away the heart
of my life
when I pretend
where's my to fool
my dearest friend
I wonder if they know
it's just a show
I'm on a stage
Day and night
I go through
my charade
But how can
I disguise
What's in my eyes Knife
cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply
wounded Knife
cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart
of my life
Now all woh---

I try to try
Lock it up
The pain of you inside
The pain of watching
you Watching you
Knife cuts
like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife
cuts like a Knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
You cut away
The heart of
my life.

Life is a moment
in space
When the dream
is gone
It's a lonelier
place
I kiss the morning
goodbye
But down
inside
You know
we never know why
The road is narrow
and long
When eyes meet
eyes
And the feeling
is strong
I turn away
from the wall
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
What do
I do?
With you
eternally mine in love
There is no
measure of time
We planned it all
at the start
That you and I live in
each other's heart
We may be oceans away
you feel my love
I hear
what you say
The truth is
ever a lie
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all

And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
What do
I do?
I am a woman
in love
And I'm talking to you
I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again

Every breath you take
every move you make
Every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
every single day
Every word you say
every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
since you've gone
I've been lost
without a trace
I dream at night
I can only
See your face
I look around
But it's you
I can't replace
I feel
so cold
And I long for
your embrace
I keep crying baby
baby please-

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you-
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Ooh-
I'll be watching you
I'll be
watching you-
