Subject: SONG LYRICS NEEDED! Almost 700 needed.

Written By: ChuckyG on 09/20/02 at 05:51 p.m.

http://www.inthe80s.com/lyrics.htm

I've finished making my first pass through my Billboard Top 100 spreadsheet.. I listed the ones I still can't find song lyrics for on the above link. I found most of my lyrics via google, so I wouldn't bother trying to use google to find any of these.  It's possible that some of them might by on a strictly lyrics only site (like sing365), but there's way too many here to try and do a search like that on multiple sites (at least not by myself)..

if you find one in the list, just respond to this thread and post it.. at some point I'm going to start writing them out from the mp3s (once I've exhausted the Internet for them).. I do have mp3s for all but a dozen or so of these songs.. so once people give up on trying to search the net for them, I am more than happy to exchange mp3s for song lyrics..

Humble pie was around in the 80's?....didnt they break up like 73?  when did Freddie Cannon sing withthe belmonts?  Isnt he dead?  The wrost part is Ive never even heard of half of these songs...or artists!

I think Hall and Oates "the way you do that things you do," and "my girl" are the same as the temptations lyrics, since they were their ldols, and they did have that concert with them in like 84...

How were the animals singing in the 80's?   Eric Budon left them in 69...

Im looking for ssome for you...hold on

Jackie Deshannon-I dont need you anymore
written by Burt Bacharach and Paul Anka



Emaj9/G#   Amaj7/G#   Emaj9/G#   Amaj7/G#   Emaj7#5

G#m7   C#m7      F#m9
We, we traveled a long, long way.

Then suddenly it went astray.
                              F#m7/B  Amaj7
It¹s time to turn and walk a - way.
Emaj7            D#m7                                       G#7
It seems to me that you¹ve forgotten what we had

And all it used to be.
     C#m7   F#m7          G#m7
And I don¹t see you anymore
When blue skies don¹t make our day,
What can you do?  What can you say?
It¹s time to stop and walk away.
So I¹ll be smart, I¹ll leave the mem¹ries in the hall
Before they reach my heart.

And I won¹t need you anymore
(instrumental line)
An empty room we used to share,
I look for you but you¹re not there.
So I¹ll be strong, I¹ll probably linger at the door
But not for very long

And I don¹t need you anymore
C#m7            F#m9  F#m7         G#m7
Except I don¹t think that¹s really true.

Greg Allman-Im no Angel

From the album "Dreams"

by Gregg Allman

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the street
I`ve got my label, So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know baby, So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy, Come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle, well I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle and I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby, Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy, Come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me, I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you & I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

LEAD

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby, Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy, Come on and love me baby

What you're forgetting, is that songs can re-enter the charts.. I grabbed Stand By Me a while back for instance.. why? because it re-charted in the 80s (due to the movie)

well, as you can see by the highest chart postions they reached, with the exception of two songs on that list, none broke the top 40

it is, I was going to grab those seperately and try and stich them together and determine where they differ

I need to do that with Peter Tosh's version of Johnny B Goode.. he changes up some of the lyrics (at least in the copy of the song I have)..

Times Two- Cecilia

Makin' love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I've come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
To come home
Come on home

Celia, won't you let me make love to you?
Celia, don't want anyone taking my place
Celia, won't you let me make love to you?
Celia don't want anyone taking my place

Whoa Cecilia
You're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
to come home
Come on home

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Cecilia baby won't you let me make love to you?
Don't want no one taking my place
Cecilia baby won't you let me make love to you?
Don't want no one taking my place

Hey

Hey
Hey

{Here's the lyrics to Montego Bay, although its not Amazulu}

Montego Bay      2:58      Jeff Barry /Bobby Bloom

Vernon will meet me when the BOAC lands.
The keys to the M.G. will be in his hands.
Adjust to the driving and I'm on my way.
It's all on the right side at Montego Bay.

(chorus)
Sing out --- o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Come sing me loud --- loud, Monetgo Bay.

And Gillian will meet me like a brother would.
I think I remember but it's twice as good.
Like how cool the rum is from a silver tray.
I thirst to be thirsty In Montego Bay.

(chorus)

I lay on the lalo 'till I'm lobster red.
I still feel the motion here at home in bed.
I tell you it's hard for me to stay away.
You ain't been 'till you been high Montego Bay.

(chorus) - Dance in the streets.

{I think these are the same lyrics that Amazulu re-released, but I'm not sure.}

Here are the lyrics to "Just to Satisfy You" by Waylon Jennings:

JUST TO SATISFY YOU
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts must break,how many will it take
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you

Another love,another fool
To play your game
Another love,another fool
They're all the same

Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late,a heart that just won't break
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you

How many tears were cried,how many dreams have died
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you

it is possible.. but I couldn't find the lyrics to the New York Dolls version, and I don't seem to have it (actually, I don't have much New York Dolls in my collection at all, a little depressing really).. here are some of the lyrics from the Suzi Quatro song:

So why don't you give me a break
I've had as much as I can take
I'm tired of making up while you've been making out with someone elses .. makeup
I suppose it should be heartbreak time but I'm feeling fine
and then you give it to me one more time..

Mel and Kim - Showing Out (Get Fresh at the Weekend):

Show show show show, show show show show
Show show show show, show show show
Showin' out, showin' out
Showin' out, showin' out
Showin' out, showin' out

Get fresh at the weekend
Showin' out, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend
Showin' out, showin' out

You'd better live in love than luxury, it's alright
And don't be dining out on foolish dreams every night

O-o-only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out
Showin' out, showin' out

Can't afford to wear diamond and pearl, that's okay
Wouldn't want to be that kind of girl anyway

O-o-only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out
Showin' out, showin' out

I can supply you things
I can provide everything
If it's the man's hand that pays the price
Then you belong to me

Only only only o' (show show show show)
Only only only o' (show show show show)
Only only only o' (show show show show)
Only only only o' (show show show show)

Can't afford to buy finer things, that's alright
We won't just lose our heads for anything anytime

O-o-only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out, showin' out, showin' out
Get fresh at the weekend, showin' out

Showin' out, I'm showin' out
Showin' out, I'm showin' out

I believe Robert John's "Sherry" is the old 4 Seasons song, of which I will provide the lyrics:

Sher-er-rry, Sherry baby
Sher-er-rry, Sherry baby

She-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (Sherry baby)
She-er-rry, can you come out tonight (Come come, come out toni-i-ight)
She-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (Sherry baby)
She-er-rry, can you come out tonight

(Why don't you come out) (come out) to my twist party
(Come out) Where the bright moon shines
(Come out) We'll dance the night away
I'm gonna make-a you mi-yi-yi-ine

She-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (Sherry baby)
She-er-rry, can you come out tonight
(Come come, come out toni-i-ight)
(Come come, come out toni-i-ight)
You-oo-ooh better ask your ma-a-ma (Sherry baby)
Te-ell her everything is all right

(Why don't you come out) (come out) with your red dress on
(Come out) Mmm, you look so fine
(Come out) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you'll make me lose my mi-ind

She-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (Sherry baby)
She-er-rry, can you come out tonight
(Come come, come out toni-i-ight)
(Come come, come out toni-i-ight)

John Schneider's song "Dreamin'" is a remake of the Johnny Burnette song, of which I will provide the lyrics:

Isaac Hayes' "Don't Let Go" is a remake of the Roy Hamilton song, of which I will provide the lyrics:

Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Come on baby, it's time to rock
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'm so happy I got  you here
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
(Don't let go, don't let go)

CHORUS:  

Oooooh-weeee, this feelin's killin' me
Aaaaaah-shucks, well,
I wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
I love you so,
Just hold me tight and don't let go

Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Love is hummin' inside my brain
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin
(Don't let go, don't let go)
You been keepin' your lips from mine
(Don't let go, don't let go)

CHORUS

Hound dog barkin' upside the hill
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Love is draggin' him through the mill
(Don't let go, don't let go)
If it wasn't for havin' you
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'd be barkin' and hollerin' too
(Don't let go, don't let go)

CHORUS

One day baby, you'll cook me yet
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'll be hollerin', and soaken' wet
(Don't let go, don't let go)
One thing baby, I'll never stand
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Your lips kissin' some other man
(Don't let go, don't let go)

Just hold me tight
Just hold me tight
Just hold me tight

Here's the lyrics to:  BEAT OF A HEART by Scandal

The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away

So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can’t be undone
Was maybe never meant to be

But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man’s sin

But when the amber light
Of daylight’s gone
All I wanna feel
Is the beat of a heart

The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away

But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man’s sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man’s sin

But when the amber light
Of daylight’s gone
All I wanna feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away     (Musical Break)

Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man’s sin

But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I wanna feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight’s gone
All I wanna hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away

Cry Like A Baby

(D Penn/S Oldham)
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string
As I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Every road is a loney street
I cry like a baby
Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And like a fool
I began to cry
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby

Sorry about the last message.  I sent it by mistake.

I've got a stack of original song lyrics if that's what you're after.  Mostly ballds and sof rock.  

I can also collaborate - writing lyrics to your tunes.

I can use everyone's help.. if you see anything on my list you recognize, let me know..

when people run out of stuff they can find, I'm going to burn a few discs containing the remaining tunes, and mail them out to people who are willing to type up a couple dozen or so.. and maybe a few bonus discs of cool 80s stuff too..

I'm very committed to trying to locate all of these..

38 Special - Rock n' Roll Strategy

Men like me 'cause I speak my mind
And women like me 'cause I take my time
Try not to take life too serious
I might get burned
If you've got somethin' to show me
I'm willing to learn
Got enough trouble just making it day to day
And when the world starts spinnin'
'N I feel like I'm going insane

Chorus
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Get in my car
Head downtown
Turn up the radio roll the windows down
It ain't no science but it gets me around
It's just rock 'n roll strategy

Turn it up
If you walk down the middle people criticize you for
Sitting on a fence
And if you walk on the right
Or you walk on the left
They say you're much too radical to make any sense
Can't win for losin'
Might as well be yourself
And when it gets so confusin'
You fell like checkin' out

Chorus
Can't win for losin'
Might as well be yourself
And when it gets so confusin'
You feel like checkin' out
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Get in my car
Head downtown
Turn up the radio roll the windows down
It ain't no science but it gets me around
It's just rock 'n roll strategy

I got a system that's bonafide
Works for me everytime I try
It ain't no science but it gets me by

Title: Rock And Roll Strategy


Men like me 'cause I speak my mind
And women like me 'cause I take my time
Try not to take life too serious
I might get burned
If you've got somethin' to show me
I'm willing to learn
Got enough trouble just making it day to day
And when the world starts spinnin'
'N I feel like I'm going insane
Chorus
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Get in my car
Head downtown
Turn up the radio roll the windows down
It ain't no science but it gets me around
It's just rock 'n roll strategy
Turn it up
If you walk down the middle people criticize you for
Sitting on a fence
And if you walk on the right
Or you walk on the left

Bad Company Electricland

The neonlights go flashing by
Electricland is in my eayes
The underworld is on the move
And everybody's got something to prove

The taxidriver delivers the news
Somebody out there has blown a fuse
We're passing the scene a man is dead
A thirty eight blew away his head

A jolt of lightning set's me back a pace
Feel like a visitor from outer space
Please excuse me if i dont quite understand
I'm just a stranger in electricland

Willing to have a good time
You live for the moment the moment is fine
You're up in your room the lights are low
Before you know it's time for the show

A jolt of lightning set's me back a pace
Feel like a visitor from outer space
Please excuse me if i dont quite understand
I'm just a stranger in electricland

Long Way to Love (4:55)

I see the love deep in your eyes.
You let the love, grow in my mind.

In the morning sun, I see your face.
I can feel your love and your embrace.

You fell in love right from the start
It has to last from falling apart.

Long way, long way to love.
Long way, long way to love.

Your fires kept warm in my heart.
You fed the flame from going out.

And I know baby,  So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy,  Come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle, well I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle and I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold

I'm no angel

No I'm no angel,  No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle,  Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby,  Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy,  Come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me,  I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you & I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold

Tangier - On The Line

Verse 1

In the middle of the darkness
Creepin' round your door
In the shadows of a foggy night
Can you hear 'em call
Reachin' out for something
That's not really there
Just another lonely night
There's danger in the air

Verse 2

In the back of an alley
Don't step around
Someone is watching
Don't make a sound
With a hush and a whisper
Another teardrop falls
Gotta fight this feelin'
Can't you hear your momma call

Refrain

As you gaze in wonder
At the things you see
Never stop hopin'
What will never be

Chorus
That's right that's right
Never walk the streets at night
No not alone
You wait for a reason
You're puttin' your life on the line
Can't ya get back home

Verse 3

Backed in an alley
Up against the wall
Can't move but you're fallin'
Gotta try & grab a hold
Your heart keeps pounding
As you close your eyes
You feel it slippin' away
Gotta find some place to hide

Refrain
Lead
Chorus--END

Album - Beach Boys (1985)

It's gettin' late
I can't wait
Come-a-come-a little closer
You gotta tell me that you'll stay

I've been praying for this moment
Since the second I laid eyes on you
Minutes seem like hours
When you're gone
Girl I'm gettin' tired of waitin'
So stop your hesitatin'
I can't believe you keep me hangin' on

It's gettin late-ate-ate-ate
Ooo (it's gettin' late) time waits for no one
Love is a turn on

It's gettin' late
I can't wait
Come-a-come-a little closer
You gotta tell me that you'll stay

You got me in a situation
My love is risin' high
Don't let any more love pass us by

Girl, we can make it up to paradise
Just give it a try
So hurry now and girl make up your mind

It's gettin' late
Don't know how much more I can stand
It's gettin' late
Don't know how much more I can stand

Girl I need your lovin'
I'm so tired of waitin'
Come on there's no one else around

Ooo sweet girl it's gettin' late
So please don't hesitate
Been waitin' to get your defenses down

Here's the lyrics to - HANDS TIED by Scandal

Darlin‘, darlin‘, darlin‘, I’ll never understand
How sometimes just the way you look at me
Can tear up my heart, but then again

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, don’t look across the room
‘Cause you might just catch me looking at you
Should we know what to say or what to do

So hold on, don’t turn away
There must be a hundred things we forgot to say

How can we touch with our hands tied
When only you know how much you keep me satisfied
And how can we explain this ball of flame
Locked up inside with our hands tied

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, if you think this love is blind
Just remember each time you squeeze her hand
you crush my heart
Oh and you just could be driving me out of my mind

Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, I’ll never let it show
But as long as you go on leaving me
I’ll fall apart each time you go

So hold on, don’t take my heart away
She may be one good reason to leave
But I’m a hundred reasons to stay

And how can we touch with our hands tied
When only you know how much you keep me satisfied
And how can we explain (how can we explain)
This ball of flame (ball of flame)
Locked up inside (locked up inside)
With our hands tied

(Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’)

Can’t you tell me how can we explain (how can we explain)
This ball of flame (this ball of flame)
Locked up inside (locked up inside)
With our hands tied
Oh how can we explain (how can we explain)
This ball of flame (this ball of flame)
Locked up inside (locked up inside)
With our hands tied
Tell me, how can we explain this ball of flame
Locked up inside . . . (fade)

I have a feeling that is going to happen more often once I try writing some out myself.. and some of the lyrics I have in my collection already have ??? for some lines, since no one can figure them out.. so if you typed the rest, go ahead and submit it, and maybe I can post a clip of the line online and see if anyone can figure it out.. (I know I have that song in my collection somewhere)

it might even make a good guess game for amiright.. post a new soundclip every couple days and try and figure out what people are saying..

heck, I like it already.. fits right in with the theme of the site! see.. I can't even ask for help without turning it into some new feature for the sites!

LIVING IN THE BACKGROUND by BALTIMORA

I've come out of hiding, by and by (been all alone)
'cause I've been immobilized for so long (been on my own)
Slowly emerging from the dark (it's just day by night)
I feel like I've wasted so much time

I've been
Living in the background (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Living in the background (so true)
Living in the background (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Living in the background (so true)

Finally decided on a change (so take a chance)
No more cowards holding hands (tomorrow brings the unknown)
Well I'm gonna break up all the rules (take 'em all by storm)
Tear down the barriers, on the loose

'cause I've been
Living in the background (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Living in the background (so true)
Living in the background (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Living in the background (so true)

We're part of all the story, well can't you see, that love has control
Got no reason now to worry, just count on me, 'cause love has gotta take control
You can take hold

COOL PLACES by SPARKS and JANE WIEDLIN

Cool Cool Cool

I wanna go to cool places with you
I wanna take you cool places tonight
I wanna go where nobody's a fool
And no one says "uh, hey girl, need a light?"
I wanna move like this and that
A minimum of chit chat
I never wanna cool down, cool down, cool cool cool
Cool places tonight

I gotta tell you, you're lookin' real good
They let us in so I'm feeling alright
I like to go where sometimes they refuse
Yeah I remember last Saturday night
But I'm feeling cooler now
And they could tell we're cooler now
It's obvious we're cooler now, cooler now, cool cool cool
Cool places tonight

Cooler now, cooler now, cooler now, cooler now
I wanna go, I wanna go, etc.
Cool cool cool places

I wanna go to cool places tonight
I wanna go to cool places with you
And after that we'll slip out for a bite
A coffee shop and toast coffee and juice
And then we'll sleep till 5 pm
And start it up all over again
I never wanna cool down, cool down, cool cool cool

I wanna go, I wanna go, etc.
Cool places tonight
Where's the cool places?

Ooh...

(Verse one)
Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around

(bridge one)
I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time i gave my heart
I was betrayed

(chorus one)
What a fool that i should ever believe
In love truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

(verse two)
Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But i think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show

(bridge two)
There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed

(chorus one)

(chorus two)
What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

We've been broken down
the lowest turn
and been on the bottom line
sure ain't no fun
but if we should be evicted from our homes
we'll just move somewere else
and still carry on
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on

Chorus
The only way is up, baby
For you and me, baby
The only way is up
For you and me

Now we may not known
Where our next meal is coming from

But with you by my side
I'll face what is come
boy, I wanna thank you
for loving me this way
things may be a little hard now
but we'll find a brighter day
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on

Chorus

"Something In My House" - Dead or Alive

I am being haunted

I am here all by myself
I am here all by myself
And you're somewhere else
With someone else

It's four o'clock in the morning
And I'm sitting on my bed
and there's banging round the bedroom
Nobody knows there's no one there

I am here all by myself
and you're somewhere else
With someone else
I am being haunted
By a love that isn't there

(Chorus)
There is something in my house
It's just the ghost of a long
Long dead affair
There is something in my house
I just keep a-hearing you
Runnin' round my stairs
But you're not there

I really got to hand it to you
You showed me a good time
But for every minute that we've spent laughin'
There were hours that I cried
And I've
And I've never meant that wicked way
But my heart broke into pieces
At midnight
One Hallowe'en

(Chorus)

BulletBoys
For The Love Of Money
Woo!

For the love of money
You would lie to your money
For the love of money
You would steal from your own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the streets
They never know who in the world they're gonna meet
For that mean
Mean green

Oh mighty dollar yeah
Money, money, money, money

Some people got to have it, yeah
Some people really need it
Talkin' y'all do things, do things, do things, bad things with it

Oh! Whoa yeah!
Whoa whoa yeah!

Don't you know my name
The root of all evil
Do funny, funny things to ya
Give me a nickel
Brother, can you spare a dime
If you think you're children know it
Out of your mind

LIsten up

For the love of money
Don't let money fool ya
Don't you let, don't you let, don't you let the money fool ya

For the love of money
Ow!

All I got left to say, let freshen money no more

For the love of money
Ooh yeah yeah
Don't let money fool ya

For the love of money

Hello

I have all of those Shooting Star songs in my collection.   The original Best of Shooting Star did not include lyrics, but I could get them for you by listening and writing them down.   Just drop me a note (to my e-mail) and let me know if that is satisfactory.  Most of my collection is 60's and 70's, but a few of these groups that were around still in the 80's could be in my collection too.   I hope that helps.  Good luck.

Patty

PUT THIS LOVE TO THE TEST by JON ASTLEY

I wish I could learn how to read your mind
Even though we've known each other for some time
I've got something to say, I hope I never regret
Let's take off our clothes and put this love to the test

But there is a danger, there is no doubt
That making love is what life is about
Be my partner, be my guest
Let's take off our clothes and put this love to the test

You can be cruel, but can you be kind?
I don't suppose we could take off our clothes and have a good time?
Your place or mine?

If I'm jumping the gun, ignore my remark
I'm merely shooting arrows in the dark
For a heart to heart, right here in the flesh
Let's take off our clothes and put this love to the test

And as sure as the sun goes down in the west
We should take off our clothes and put this love to the test

Let's take off our clothes and put this love to the test

Subject: The Breakfast Club - Kiss And Tell

Written By: Bobo on 10/02/02 at 12:21 a.m.

Everytime somebody says to me,
it's a secret, well I have to laugh
'cause that is something I just can't keep
it's a secret,

Oh I've tried it once or twice
but it didn't work too well
so you'd better think it over
'cause I'm gonna tell

la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
and everybodys' gonna know
la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
gotta let my feelings show

'cause they tell me it's gotta be a secret thing
it's no secret
well, I've heard that before
and there is always someone waiting in the wings
it's no secret

So if there's somebody else on your mind
then it's not gonna work too well
you would only be wasting your time
'cause I'm gonna tell

la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
and everybodys' gonna know
la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
gotta let my feelings show

Well, I'm not gonna get down to it
until ya' make your mind up
so make your mind up,
mind up,
mi...nd up, call me up
'cause I want to kiss and tell

if there's somebody else on your mind
then it's not gonna work too well
you would only be wasting your time
'cause I'm gonna tell

la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
and everybodys' gonna know
la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
gotta let my feelings show

Well, I'm not gonna get down to it
until ya' make your mind up
so make your mind up,
mind up,
mi...nd up, call me up
'cause I want to kiss and tell

la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
and everybodys' gonna know
la-la-la-la-la-la-oh-oh
I'll kiss and tell
gotta let my feelings show

I have the Missing Persons album and the lyrics for "Give".  here goes:

When's the last time
You really touched someone
How did it feel
Did it surprise you when you
Found yourself unselfish
Did it seem unreal
The pressure's everywhere
Everywhere around you
Beckon you
To turn the other way
But I say
The results are superficial
There's only one way to play

Give
When you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
Give all you've got to give
After you've given all you can
Give again-give again

Put your head where
Your feet are going
'Cause the good
Outweighs the bad
It's you that should be-
You should be knowing
It's for what you give
Not what you have
When it seems you-
You can't give enough
Realize
It's the good you do it for
So when the going
Gets a little bit tough
You've got to give
A little bit more

When you're looking for an answer
And nothing seems to fit
Don't give up

You've got to let your heart become
The mirror of your mind
Give in

Don't wait for something
To cause you reason
Set your goal
Let your mind follow through
When you feel something
To believe in
You'll make all your dreams-
All your dreams come true.

I found this in 2 minutes!

Johnny B. Goode - Peter Tosh

Deep down in Jamaica close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods on top of a hill
There stood an old hut made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode

He never learned to read and a write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell

CHORUS

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sitting in a tree in the railroad track
Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made

People passing by would stop and say
Oh my oh my what the boy can play

CHORUS

Mama said son you gotta be a man
You gotta be the leader of a reggae band
People coming in from miles around
To hear you play until the sun goes down

Boy someday your name will be in the lights
Saying Johnny B Goode tonight

CHORUS

I could almost do this one from memory (too many viewings of that movie Breakdance...)



I ask just a bit
Our love will never fit
Too sad
Too bad

Our love won’t reach its peak
If there is the slightest leak
You’ll do
The best that I had

Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
Gotta have all, all of your love
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
A part of you just ain’t enough

(No babe)

Without that half percent
Our love is incomplete
That’s how
I move

But the last drop of your love
Should belong to only me
If your love
Is for real

Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
Gotta have all, all of your love
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
A part of you just ain’t enough (x2)

Do
Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Do do do. Do!

Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Won’t do, won’t do do do do do do
Do do do. Do!

Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
Gotta have all, all of your love
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
A part of you (I gotta have all of you) just ain’t enough

Ninety-nine and a half won’t do (gotta be me and you)
All of your love
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
A part of you (won’t do) just ain’t enough (no)

Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
All of your love (gotta have all of you)
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do
A part of you just ain’t enough

thanks to everyone who has contributed.. I just updated the list again..

I am happy to exchange mp3s for lyrics.. if anyone is interested in helping to find more of the missing lyrics (although at this point, it's more a case of typing in the missing lyrics, since I doubt many of them are available on the web).

Hey Chuck, two questions:  ??? ???

One: Where can we see an updated version of the list, and

Two: Have you secured the lyrics for Cameo: Back and Forth yet?

I'll be posting them in a separate post just in case. No, be warned, I'm doing this off of memory (I LOVE CAMEO!!!) so the lyrics might not be 100%, but truthfully...I don't think thy have to do with beeastiality.

Read the lyrics...you'll see what I mean

Cameo
Back and Forth

(Verse 1)
There's a special kind of person
Sometimes she's not all she seems
You only see what she wants you to see
And before you really know
It always seems to go...

CHORUS

(spoken)
Back (Back)
And forth (and forth)
Back (back)
And forth (and forth)
Back (back)
And Forth (and forth)
Back (back)
And Forth (and forth)
(Repeat)

(sung)
Our love goes...
Yeay yeah

(Verse 2)
Take your chances if you will
Those looks can kill
It'll make you go 'round and around
You gotta know it by now (yeah)
That the truth is, you just cant win
Love fighting...like that
It'll make you blow your cat (gunshot sound)
                      {that lyric MIGHT me misheard...I'm not sure}
Sacrifice
Everything and money
Love has no guarantees
It'll always truly be...

(Repeat Chorus 4 times)

(Gutiar Solo)

(Repeat Chorus)

Take Steps
Dip and Dap (?)
Forever try to find your way
It's a sailor's (?) lament
For all the love you spent
You must have thought it was a bottomless pit
You can't do it (can't do it)
Like that (no no)
Let me show you where it's at (gunshot sound)
What you put up
You'll surely get back
'Cause there's no other way
You can play your game...

(Repeat Chorus)

Yes!!  The Animals DID have a (minor) late hit in 1983 with a song called, "The Night".  It came from an album of theirs called, "Ark", and it DID have Eric Burdon on it!  It was issued on IRS Records.  Unfortunately, the song never charted (at least, not in the top 40).  I own it in my personal collection.  I remember HAVING TO HAVE IT when it came out, not only because I thought it was a cool song, but also because it was The Animals ( ?="they're still AROUND?  It's 1983!)

it didn't make the top 40, but it did make the top 100.. which is why I was looking for the lyrics for it..

I haven't been as diligant as I could be on working on knocking the list down to size, but I plan to get started on transcribing lyrics for the remaining songs soon.. it's a matter of discipline.. 3 a day and I could get half the list done in about three months..

wait,so it was a new song that charted in 83?  I still dont really know how they did that considering Eric Burdon was solo then and the Animals broke up in the late 60's......eh...it probably could have happened, it was the eighties... ;D
