Angel of Harlem - U2



It was a cold and wet december day
when we touched the ground at jfk
snow was melting on the ground
on bls i heard the sound
of an angel
New york, like a christmas tree
tonight this city belongs to me
angel
Soul love...this love won't let me go
so long...angel of harlem
Birdland on fifty-three
the street sounds like a symphony
we got john coltrane and a love supreme
miles, and she's got to be an angel
Lady day got diamond eyes
she sees the truth behind the lies 
angel
Soul love...this love won't let me go
so long...angel of harlem
angel of harlem
She says it's heart...heart and soul...
yeah yeah...(yeah)
yeah yeah...(right now)
Blue light on the avenue
god knows they got to you
an empty glass, the lady sings
eyes swollen like a bee sting
blinded you lost your way
through the side streets and the alleyway
like a star exploding in the night
falling to the city in broad daylight
an angel in devil's shoes
salvation in the blues
you never looked like an angel
yeah yeah...angel of harlem
Angel...angel of harlem...

Siberian Khatru - Yes




Sing, bird of prey;
beauty begins at the foot of you. do you believe the manner?
gold stainless nail,
torn through the distance of man
as they regard the summit.
Even siberia goes through the motions.
hold out and hold up;
hold down the window. outbound, river,
hold out the morning that comes into view. bluetail, tailfly.
river running right on over my head.
How does she sing?
who holds the ring? and ring and you will find me coming.
cold reigning king,
hold all the secrets from you
as they produce the movement.
Even siberia goes through the motions.
hold out and hold up;
hold down the window. outbound, river,
hold out the morning that comes into view. bluetail, tailfly.
river running right over the outboard, river,
bluetail, tailfly,
luther, in time.
dood'ndoodit, dah, d't-d't-dah.
Hold down the window;
hold out the morning that comes into view.
warm side, the tower;
green leaves reveal the heart spoken khatru.
Gold stainless nail,
torn through the distance of man as they regard the summit.
cold reigning king,
shelter the women that sing
as they produce the movement.
river running right on over,
then over my head. outboard, river.
Bluetail, tailfly,
luther, in time,
suntower, asking,
cover, lover,
june cast, moon fast,
as one changes,
heart gold, leaver,
soul mark, mover,
christian, changer,
called out, saviour,
moon gate, climber,
turn round, glider.

Ain´t got no - Nina Simone


Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes 
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class 
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling 
Ain't got no work, ain't got no job 
Ain't got no money, no place to stay 
Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother 
Ain't got no children 
Ain't got no sisters or brothers 
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no faith 
Ain't got no church, ain't got no God 
Ain't got no love 
Ain't got no why, no cigarettes 
No clothes, no country 
No class, no schooling 
No friends, no nothing 
Ain't got no God 
Ain't got no earth, no water 
No food, no home 
I said I ain't got no clothes,no job 
No nothing 
Ain't got ... 
And I ain't got no love 
Oh, but what have I got? 
Oh, what have I got? 
Let me tell you what I got 
And nobody's gonna take away 
Unless I wanna 
I got my hair, on my head 
My brains, my ears 
My eyes, my nose 
And my mouth, I got my smile 

My tongue, my chin 
My neck, my boobs 
My heart, my soul 
And my back 
I got my sex 
I got my arms, my hands 
My fingers, my legs 
My feet, my toes 
And my liver 
Got my blood 
I got life, I've got lives 
I've got headaches, and toothaches, 
And bad times too like you 
I got my hair, my head 
My brains, my ears 
My eyes, my nose and my mouth 
I got my smile and it's my smile 
I got my tongue, my chin 
My neck and my boobs 
My heart, my soul 
And my back 
I got my sex 
I got my arms, my hands 
My fingers, my legs 
My feet, my toes 
Got my liver 
Got my blood 
I got life, I got my feet 
I've got life

Thank You - Led Zeppelin


If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
My, my, my inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration look, see

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness, I'm glad

Water of Love - Dire Straits




High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely every day
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me

There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Waiting for me to die
If I don't get some water soon
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon

Once I had a woman I could call my own
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Once there was a river now there's a stone
You know it's evil then you're living alone

Life on Mars - David Bowie


It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling no
And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
