[horrie hastings]

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
between here and there.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
But you ain't got no one else to blame.


E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze,
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It's so good that you're feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman


Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song,
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
drink the cup,
I came runnin' every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes,
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain't got no place left to go.

One of my favs from one of the best all-rounders in the industry.

"Everything She Wants"

Somebody told me
That for everything she wants
Is everything she sees
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby
And now I'm six months older
And everything you are and everything you see
Is out of reach not good enough
I don't know what the hell you want from me

Somebody tell me
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money)

Some people work for a living
Some people work fun
Girl I just work for you
They told me marriage was a give and take
Well you show me you can take you've got some givin' to do
And now you tell me that your having my baby
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
But one step further and my back will break
If my best isn't good enough
And how can it be good enough for two

I can't work any harder than I do

Somebody tell me
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money)

Why do I do the things I do
Can you tell my why? Yea
My god, I don't even think that I love you

Somebody tell me
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money)

Somebody tell me
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money)

How could you settle
For a boy like me
When all I can see
Is the end of the week
All the things we sign
And the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
It's just a matter of time

My situation
Never changes
Walking in and out of that door
Like a stranger
For the wages
I give you all
You say you want more

And all I can see
Is the end of the week
All the things we sign
And the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl it's just a matter of time

[milanja]

Cant believe how long I sung along to this song and only recently someone actually pointed out the words!


Silently she opens the drawer*
Mother's little helper is coming out for more*
Strategically positioned before the midday show*
Her back is arched, those lips are parched*
Repeated blow by blow*
Later at the party all the MPs rave*
About the hummers she's been giving*
And the money that they save*
To her it is skin lotion*
For his promotion to*
That flat in Surfer's Paradise with the ocean view*
What a sing song dance*
What a performance*
What a cheap tent show*
Oh no no no no no

Steel Panther - Just Like Tiger Woods

If you don't golf that's okay
You can be a tiger anyway
Lie through your teeth when things get tough
Or your balls are gonna wind up in the rough, yeah yeah

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Fertilising ladies in the neighbourhood
Get real rich and you will find
All the hot chicks will want to grind

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Grip that shaft like you know you should
Get a platinum card, it will be all good
The girls will want you just like Tiger Woods

Remember this when you're having fun
Three holes are better than a hole in one, yeah
If the word gets out don't be afraid

When a 9 iron's heading for your escalade, yeah yeah
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Filling all the divots in the neighbourhood
Don't think about those three foot putts
And cover your tracks when you're banging them sluts

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Text messages are never good
Nail the girl at the driving range
Your life will change, just like Tiger Woods

Have your best friend book all your flights
Tell your wife that you're golfing nights
Get a call girl and maybe just chill
Be willing to part with a 100 mil

Bang a new pornstar every day
Tell your sponsors it will be okay
Surprise them all with an invitation
To a viewing of your first double penetration, yeah

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Poking all the holes in the neighbourhood
Tell your wife how it's gonna be
Your driver is community property

If you wanna be like Tiger Woods,
Brett Favre did it, so you know you could!

Become the king of your neighbourhood
Like Steel Panther and Tiger Woods

Just like Tiger Woods! oh yeah yeah

Lol Scooby...Richard Mercer eat your heart out

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache

Did the acoustic version on the video for this one.....should also be on the love/breakup songs thead and if you are a fan of Mike Patton's voice from Faith No More you should like this...beware there is some screaming in the middle but Patton was good at the scream too

"The End Of Heartache"

Seek me, call me
I'll be waiting

This distance, this dissolution
I cling to memories while falling
Sleep brings release, and the hope of a new day
Waking the misery of being without you

Surrender, I give in
Another moment is another eternity

(Seek me) For comfort, (Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion, (Call me) I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart

You know me, you know me all too well
My only desire - to bridge our division

In sorrow I speak your name
And my voice mirrors my torment

(Seek me) For comfort, (Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion, (Call me) I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart

Am I breathing?
My strength fails me
Your picture, a bitter memory

For comfort, for solace
(Seek me) For comfort, (Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion, (Call me) I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart

"The Day Before You Came"


Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came

Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

[horrie hastings]

This song has not been officially released by ABBA, Benny & Bjorn were not happy with it, a small snippet of it was released on one of the box set but theres lots of bootleg copies of the full song floating around, apparently a tape with the full song on it was stolen from Bjorn's car, not sure how true that is. Hopefully one day they will release the song in full.

Just Like That"


Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
I remember well,
How it did embarrass me;
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style

Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

And once again, the river's flowing slowly,
Following its safe and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried,
it's become a pleasant break,
I recall without remorse.
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit,
he had something that I miss.
I guess he was a rolling stone;
The only one I've known.

Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

there is also sax version called the na na na version which I think is better than this version but either way it is a great song which deserves an official release.

Lillian Axe - Ghost of Winter

Probably one of the best songs from an extremely under rated band of the late 80's.. A live version recorded a few years ago but the vocals are still unbelievable.

As I lie awake
All the memories of my life
Seem to come and fade
Wakes me in the dead of night
Am I slipping away?
Is my memory leaving me?
When it's cold and dark
Ghost of winter comes to me

Look at me
I'm eternal thought
It's a shame but we must part
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

Dreams that seem so real
Granny tells me it's okay
Won't you try to sleep
You'll wake up to a brand new day
Tears to wake the dead
Tell them it's not all in vain
Since the dawn of man
Think how many felt the rain

It's far from what you know
But now I have to go
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

In the world darkness follows me
Hiding out in places I can't see
I'll tell you one thing
I'll never change my ways
Fly high

I can't distinguish reality from dream
Ghost of winter won't you hear my silent scream?

Ghost of winter hear my silent scream?
Ghost of winter return me to my dream

Repeat

You've showed me one thing
I've never ever seen
So take me back there
I've got to have my dream

Oh, Ghost of Winter
Hear my silent scream
Fly high

Live

Listen to the lyrics in this song

Great song anyway!

Joe Satriani surfing with the Alien

[redwhiteblue]

You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful, that day
And love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical, these days

You analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love never leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
And the past, that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn't wait

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it try as you might
May you find that love never leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

Some kind of beautiful
Some kind of beautiful
Some kind of beautiful

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it try as you might
May you find that love never leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

You won't be lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

Hadn't heard that in years PD. Thanks for posting.

Got on a train from the golden west plenty of Riff fans on it but at my station Roosters fans boarding en masse...great atmosphere. What has this got to do with this thread????

Found some lyrics for Surfing with the Alien but to wail em get yourself an Axe n Wah pedal...plug em in to your Marshall n turn it up to Eleven.

'Wah wa wa wa-wa-wa-wa Waah! Wah wa wa wa-wa-wa-wa Waah!

Just before the outtro (the ending) of the song.

I grew up with the Daryl Braithwaite version of this song but now I find out my favourite girl Bonnie Raitt has a version so better go hit the intunes store:

I've had bad dreams too many times
To think that they don't mean much anymore
And fine times have gone and left my sad home
And the friends who once cared just walk out my door

But love has no pride when I call out your name
And love has no pride when there's no one to blame
But I'd give anything to see you again

I've been alone too many nights
To think that you could come back again
I've heard you talk
She's crazy to stay
But this love hurt's me so
I don't care what you say

But love has no pride when I call out your name
And love has no pride when there's no one to blame
But I'd give anything to see you again

If I could buy your love
Then I'd surely try my friend
And if I could pray
My prayers would never end
But if you want me to beg
I'll fall down on my knees
And ask you to come back
I'd be pleading for you to come back
I'd beg for you to come back to me

Love has no pride when I call out your name
And love has no pride when there's no one but myself to blame
But I'd give anything to see you again
Yes I'd give anything to see you again

[Parkway_Drive]

o, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

This song....is talking about going to hell but not in a literal religious sense more in a spritual sense. I can relate to this song (as a male ) as being raised a Catholic and having made some good choices and some disastrous choices along the way.

Plus the singer is a great sort

"Going To Hell"

(The end is the end)
(Don't bless me father for I have sinned)

Father did you miss me?
I've been locked up a while.
I got caught for what I did but took it all in style.
Laid to rest all my confessions I gave way back when.
Now I'm versed in so much worse,
So I am back again.
And he said

For the lines that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I make, I'm going to hell!

Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

Father did you miss me?
Don't ask me where I've been.
You know I know,
Yes, I've been told I redefine a sin.
I don't know what's driving me to put this in my head.
Maybe I wish I could die, maybe I am dead!
And he said

For the lives that I fake, I'm going to hell!
For the vows that I break, I'm going to hell!

For the ways that I hurt, while I'm hiking up my skirt.
I am sitting on a throne while they're buried in the dirt.

For the man that I hate, I'm going to hell!

Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

Please forgive me father,
I didn't mean to bother you.
The devil's in me father.
He's inside of everything I do.

For the life that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the laws that I break, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I hate, I'm going to hell!
For the lies that I make, I'm going to hell!

For the way I condescend and never lend a hand.
My arrogance is making this head buried in the sand.
For the souls I forsake, I'm going to hell!

Gettin' married to the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.
