Classic Rock Songs

That's The Way I Like It

Are You Ready?

Pacific Gas & Electric

Theres rumors of war. Men dying and women crying

If you breathe air, youll die. Perhaps you wonder the reason why

But wait! Dont you worry. A new day is dawning

Well catch the sun, and away well fly...

Are you ready to sit by His throne? Are you ready not to be alone?

Someones coming to take you home And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

People say that He wont come. And I dont know what say you

But if He should, would you be the one? Ive got a little question Id like to ask you


Someones coming to take you home

And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home

(Are you ready?) (2X)

Brothers and sisters, I have many. Stumbling along to do their thing

Love is a song, its better than any. Its better for music, its easy to sing


Someones coming to take you home

And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home

Repeat key(Yes, Im ready) Are you ready? (Yes, Im ready) (x2)

Ive got to know, yeah (Yes, Im ready)

You sound real good (Yes, Im ready)

Are you ready? (Yes, Im ready)

Gonna be sunshine again (Yes, Im ready)

And the flowers growing (Yes, Im ready)

Children playing (Yes, Im ready) Gonna be all right (Yes, Im ready)

Youve got to be ready (Yes, Im ready) I know youre ready (Yes, Im ready)

Say it loud one more time (Yes, yes, Im ready) Oh, yeah (Yes, yes, Im ready)

Epitaph

King Crimson

The wall on which the prophets wrote

Is cracking at the seams.

Upon the instruments of death

The sunlight brightly gleams.

When every man is torn apart

With nightmares and with dreams,

Will no one lay the laurel wreath

As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,

The seeds of time were sown,

And watered by the dees of those

Who know and who are known;

Knowledge is a deadly friend

When no one sets the rules.

The fate of all mankind I see

Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be may epitaph.

As I crawl a cracked and broken path

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.

But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying

But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying.

The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

The rusted chains of prison moons

Are shattered by the sun.

I walk a road, horizons change

The tournaments begun.

The purple piper plays his tune,

The choir softly sing;

Three lullbies in an ancient tongue,

For the court of the Crimson King.

The keeper of the city keys

Put shutters on the dreams.

I wait outside the pilgrims door

With insufficient schemes.

The black queen chants

The funeral march,

The cracked brass bells will ring;

To summon back the fire witch

To the court of the Crimson King.

The gardener plants an evergreen

Whilst trampling on a flower.

I chase the wind of a prism ship

To taste the sweet and sour.

The pattern juggler lifts his hand;

The orchestra begin.

As slowly turns the grinding wheel

In the cour of the Crimson King.

On soft grey morning widows cry,

The wise men share a joke;

I run to grasp divining signs

To satisfy the hoax.

The yellow jester does not play

But gently pulls the strings

And smiles as the puppets dance

In the court of the Crimson King.

Born to be wild

SteppenwolfGet your motor running

ead out on the highway

Lookin for adventure

In whatever comes our way

Here and god are gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once and

Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racing with the wind

And the feeling that that Im under




Explode into space

Like a true natures child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never want to die

Born to be wild




Explode into space

Like a true natures child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never want to die

Born to be wild

Superstition

Stevie Wonder

Very superstitious, writings on the wall

Very superstitious, ladders bout to fall

Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass

Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you dont understand

Then you suffer

Superstition aint the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands

Rid me of the problem, do all that you can

Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin strong

You dont wanna save me, sad is my song


Then you suffer

Superstition aint the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin more to say

Very superstitious, the devils on his way

Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass

Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past


Then you suffer

Superstition aint the way, no, no, no

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (The Hollies)

Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9, beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all

I saw her headin' to the table Well a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at Well suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A jumping out of doors and tables Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cos you're gonna be spared Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Had it all

Devil Woman

Cliff Richard

Ive had nothing but bad luck

Since the day I saw the cat at my door

So I came here to you, sweet lady

Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future, the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

And I knew it was a spell shed cast.

*Chorus

Shes just a devil woman

With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman

Shes gonna get you




Shes gonna get you from behind.

Give me the ring on your finger

Let me see the lines of your hand

I can see me a tall dark stranger

Giving you what you hadnt planned

I drank the potion she offered me

I found myself on the floor

Then I looked in those big green eyes

And I wondered what I came there for.

(Repeat chorus)

Stay awake

Look out

If youre out on a moonlit night

Be careful of the neighbourhood strays

Of a lady with long black hair

Tryin to win you with her feminine ways

Crystal ball on the table

Showing the future, the past

Same cat with them evil eyes

Youd better get out of there fast




Shes gonna get you.

Touch Of Grey

Grateful Dead

Must be getting early clocks are running lateFaint light of the

morning sky looks so phonyDawn is breaking everywhere light a candle

curse the glare

Draw the curtains I dont care cuz its alright

I will get by I will get by

I will get by I will survive

I see youve got your fist out say your piece and get out

Yes I get the gist of it but its alright

Sorry that you feel that way the only there is to say

Every silver linings got a touch of grey

I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive

Its a lesson to me the eagles and the beggars and the seas

The ABCs we all must face try to keep a little grace

Its a lesson to me the deltas and the east and the freeze

The ABCs we all think of and try to win a little love

I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in years

Its even worse than it appears but its alright

Cows giving kerosene kid cant read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene but its alright


The shoe is on the hand that fits theres really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit cuz its alright

Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway

And that was all I had to say and its alright


We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive

We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?

Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find,

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late

Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and youre gonna die Love gets you high

Time on my side I got it all Ive heard that pride Always comes before a fall Theres a rumour goin round the town That you dont want me around I cant shake off my city blues Every way I turn I lose

Time is no healer If youre not there Lonely fever Sad words in the air

Some things are better left unsaid Im gonna spend my days in bed Ill walk the streets at night To be hidden by the city lights, city lights

Dream LadyBread (James Griffin and Robb Royer)

I see her walking in the velvet moonlight But then she hides behind the clock of midnight And as I look to see her face She disappears without a trace...

Sometimes I find myself in endless wandering When I awaken in the misty morning And I must look to find my way As I await the end of day. Dream Lady... Dream Lady...

And I await the end of day

Till nighttime comes again to stay Dream lady... Dream Lady... Dream Lady...

Rock Lobster

B 52S

Rock Lobster - B52's We were at a party

His ear lobe fell in the deep

Someone reached in and grabbed it

It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach

Everybody had matching towels

Somebody went under a dock

And there they saw a rock

It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean, His air hose broke

Lots of trouble, Lots of bubble

He was in a jam, S'in a giant clam

Down, down

Underneath the waves, Mermaids wavin', Wavin' to mermen, Wavin' sea fans

Sea horses sailin', Dolphins wailin', Red snappers snappin', Clam shells clappin'

Muscles flexin' , Flippers flippin'

Down, down

Let's rock!

Boy's in bikinis, Girls in surfboards

Everybody's rockin', Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' 'round the fire, Havin' fun

Bakin' potatoes, Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard Put on the lifeguard

Pass the tanning butter Here comes a stingray

There goes a manta-ray In walked a jelly fish

There goes a dogfish Chased by a catfish

In flew a sea robin Watch out for that piranha

There goes a narwhale

HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

Bus stop The Hollies

Bus stop, wet day, shes there, I say

Please share my umbrella

Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it

Wind and rain and shine

That umbrella, we employed it

By August, she was mine

[Chorus :]

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop

Sometimes shed shopped and she would show me what she bought

Other people stared as if we were both quite insane

Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Thats the way the whole thing started

Silly but its true

Thinkin of a sweet romance

Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting

No more sheltering now

Nice to think that that umbrella

Led me to a vow

[Chorus]

Bus stop, wet day, shes there, I say

Please share my umbrella

Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it

Wind and rain and shine

That umbrella, we employed it

By August, she was mine

Summer In The City

The Lovin Spoonful

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isnt it a pity

Doesnt seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night its a different world. Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat itll be alright

And babe, dont you know its a pity

That the days cant be like the nights

In the summer, in the city. In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty. Gonna look in every corner of the city

Till Im wheezing like a bus stop

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night its a different world. Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night. Despite the heat itll be alright

And babe, dont you know its a pity. That the days cant be like the nights

In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city

------ instrumental break ------

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isnt it a pity

Doesnt seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night its a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat itll be alright

And babe, dont you know its a pity

That the days cant be like the nights

In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city

Love hurts

Nazaret

Love hurts love scars love wounds and marks

any heart not tough nor strong enough

to take a lot of pain take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.

Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts.

I know a thing or two I've learned from you

I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot

Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts.

Some fools rave of happiness blissfullness togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess, but they're not fooling me

I know it isn't true, no it isn't true

Love is just a lie, made to make you blue

Love hurts Uh - uh love hurts.

Goo Goo Barabajagal Love Is Hot

Donovan With The Jeff Beck Group

She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel.

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,


Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.

He very wise in the herbal lore s got young cure now.

She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower.





Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.

Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.

In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.

The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind

Sorrow more distant than a star.

Multi colour run down over your body,

Then the liquid passing all into all

Love is hot truth is molten.

True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked

Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.

He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze

She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.









Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name,

Was my name, was my name,

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now. (x5)

Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet

Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get

Go down gamblin, say it when youre runnin low

Go down gamblin -- you may never have to go

Down in a crap game, Ive been losin at roulette

Cards are bound to break me, but I aint busted yet

Cause Ive been called a natural lover by that lady over there

Honey, Im just a natural gambler but I try to do my share

And When I Die

Blood Sweat And Tears

I hear that its cold way down their. Yeah, crazy cold way down their.

Chorus:

And when I die, and when Im gone, Therell be one child born

In this world to carry on, to carry on.

Swear there aint no heaven and I pray there aint no hell,

But Ill never know by living, only my dying will tell.

Yes only my dying will tell.

Yeah, only my dying will tell.

Chorus

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.

All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.

All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,

And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.

Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go, Hey Hey!

Here comes the devil, Right Behind.

Look out children, Here he comes!

Here he comes! Hey...

Dont want to go by the devil. Dont want to go by demon.

Dont want to go by Satan, Dont want to die uneasy.

Just let me go naturally.

and when I die, When Im dead, dead and gone,

Therell be one child born in our world to carry on,

To carry on. Yeah, yeah...

Spinning Wheel

Blood, Sweat & Tears

(D. Clayton-Thomas)

What goes up must come down [cowbell enters]

Spinnin wheel got to go round [full drum kit enters]

Talkin bout your troubles its a cryin sin

Ride a painted pony let the spinnin wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home

Spinnin wheel all alone

Talkin bout your troubles and you never learn

Ride a painted pony let the spinnin wheel turn

Did you find the directing sign on the

Straight and narrow highway

Would you mind a reflecting sign

Just let it shine within your mind

And show you the colors that are real

Someone is waiting just for you

Spinnin wheel, spinnin true

Drop all your troubles by the riverside

[1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride]

[2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly]

Lisa, Listen To Me

Blood, Sweat & Tears

Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared.

Everyone she knew, runnin scared.

Then she found him or maybe he found her.

His were gentle words she had never heard before.

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,

Dont you know where you belong?

Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...

Youve been silent for too long."

Once another man took her on a younger day,

All a young girl can do is pray.



She had never heard before.











She had never heard before.

Lucretia Macevil

Blood, Sweat And Tears

Lucretia Mac Evil, little girl, whats your game?

Hard luck and trouble, bound to be your claim to fame

Tail shakin, home breakin truckin through town

Each and every country mothers son hangin round

Drive a young man insane Evil, thats your name

Lucretia Mac Evil, thats the thing youre doin fine

Back seat Delilah, thats your sixth big jug of wine

I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks

Nothin that your daddy wouldnt do for kicks

Never done a thing worthwhile, evil woman child

Devil got you, Lucy under lock and key

Aint about to set you free

Signed, sealed and witnessed on the day you were born

No use trying to fake him out, no use trying to make him out

Soon hell be taking out his doom

What you gonna do Lucretia Mac Evil

Honey, where you been all night?

You hairs all messed up baby

N the clothes your wearin just dont fit you right

Big Daddy Joes paying your monthly rent

Tells his wife he cant imagine where the moneys went

Dressing you up in style, evil woman child

Oh Lucy youre just so damn bad

Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers)

Whoa! My love, my darling,

I hunger for your touch,

Alone. Lonely time.

And time goes by, so slowly,

And time can do so much,

Are you still mine?

I need your love.

I need your love.

God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow

to the sea, to the sea,

To the open arms of the sea.

Lonely rivers sigh,

wait for me, wait for me,

I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Rep. Whoa! My love, my darling,

When A Man Loves A Woman

(Percy Sledge - Michel Bolton)

When a man loves a woman,

Can't keep his mind on nothing else

He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found

If she's bad he can't see it

She can do no wrong

Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down


Spend his very last dime

Tryin' to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain

If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman

I gave you everything I had

Tryin' to hold on to your precious love

Baby, please don't treat me bad


Down deep in his soul

She can bring him such misery

If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know

Lovin' eyes don't ever see

Well, this man loves a woman

I gave you everything I had

Tryin' to hold on to your precious love

Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels

'Cause baby baby baby you're my world

Lemon Tree

Peter Paul And Mary

Will Holt

When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,

"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."

"Dont put your faith in love, my boy," my father said to me,

"I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."

Chorus:

Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,

But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,

But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie,

A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky.

We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree,

The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me.

Chorus

One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.

And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.

She left me for another, its a common tale but true,

A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.

Chorus

From: "S.Y.Lee"
