Faith, Love and Hope [James Young Group featuring JY]

Image
Faith, Love And Hope Written by Donnie Vie, Chip Z'Nuff Lead Vocals by James Young I'm wide awake, wait for the break Wait for the break of the morning light I hear the sound, it's all around The sound is blastin' all through the night Cold sweat and no reverse Ain't we supposed to get the message first It's Faith, and Love, and Hope We're gonna turn you on to Faith, and Love, and Hope We're gonna turn you on I hold my head, my mind is dead I never wanted to feel the pain With no disgrace, all on my face Financially driving me insane Bad checks and bills to pay Aren't we supposed to make it day to day With Faith, and Love, and Hope We're gonna turn you on to Faith, and Love, and Hope We're gonna turn you on Hide in my black room Life begins at noon Hide in my black room Why can't you see that it's Faith, and Love, and Hope

Don't Get Mad [James Young Group featuring JY]

Don't Get Mad Written by Michael Baran, Peter Spero Lead Vocals by James Young and ?? Is it haze or just illusion What'd I say that's so amusin'? What was love is now confusion Listen to me Heart breaks heart it's never even Lie meets lie now what's the reason Pain inside I gotta leave it Time for action 'Cause I don't get mad I get even No I don't get mad I get even Way down in from the surface Mad man lives deep within us When did life become a circus? Can you hear me Fire burns it's gettin' stronger Can't hold back, now how much longer Eyes closed tight but I can see you Stand and face me 'Cause I don't get mad I get even And it's my desire, what I believe in No I don't get mad, I get even Break down dawn on the horizon Flame on flame temperature risin' Steel meets flesh it's compromisin' Just you watch me Nights are long when you're the reason Sweat no sleep just heavy breathin' No sweet dreams just...

Into The Fire [James Young Group featuring JY]

Image
Into The Fire Written by James Young, Michael Baran, Ken Harck Lead Vocals by James Young Drivin' in the rain down the highway of life Pedal stuck to the metal on a white knuckle flight Don't know where I'm goin', can't seem to slow down It's a drag race to nowhere in a make believe town Lonely town Travelin' in a place where the sun never shines In the gaping black hole of the subconscious mind What am I doin' here, why did I come? I really wanna stay but I know I should run Run away Into the fire, she leads me blindly Into the fire, baby treat me kindly Your body's warm, but I've been told Your heart is cold Far from the mountains in the valley so low Take me on down where the river runs slow Roll me in the water so my eyes can't see The place that might be the end of me End of me Into the fire, she leads me blindly Into the fire, baby treat me kindly Your body's warm, but I've been told Your heart is cold Into the fire, she leads m...

Heart's Not the Same [James Young Group featuring JY]

Image
Heart's Not The Same Written by Kit Hain, Tina Shafer Lead Vocals by Lou DePasqua Looking back through the hourglass You and me had the future in our hands I always saw the two of us strong together But we can't hold the shifting sands Now it breaks me down to lose you But I don't know any other way 'Cause your heart's not the same Something inside has turned around the bend And you're hearing that lonely voice call Through all of your changes And everything we tried to get it back again I know that I have to let you go It's crystal clear in the looking glass I see myself through different eyes Haunted by the memory of lovin' you And listening to the echo of goodbye Well there's a time and place for every dream And darlin' ours just slipped away 'Cause your heart's not the same Something inside has turned around the bend And you're hearing that lonely voice call Through all of your changes And everything we tried to get it back again ...

Amazing Grace [James Young Group featuring JY]

Amazing Grace Written by Donnie Vie, Chip Z'Nuff Lead Vocals by James Young Laying in my room I feel her body closer to me Sendin' me vibrations, drivin' me outta my mind No one could believe just what this girl could do if she tried She could squeeze, she could please, get me down on my knees Make me laugh, make me cry, I don't even wonder why Amazing Grace, is there anything that I can do? Amazing Grace, I wanna spend the night with you Summer comes around she's so crazy when she's dancin' with me Never leaves me wanting more I get as much as can be All I wanna do is make it 'til we can't even see She can squeeze, she can please, get me down on my knees Make me laugh, make me cry, I don't even wonder why Amazing Grace, is there anything that I can do? Amazing Grace, I wanna spend the night with you

Love (And Love Alone) [James Young Group featuring JY]

Love (And Love Alone) Written by Glen Burtnik, Bob Burger Lead Vocals by  Lou DePasqua Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know And when you close your eyes You still can see And when you're trapped and afraid You still are free And don't you know that you have everything you need If you're looking for hope You're looking for peace Love, and love alone Mountain high and river low Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know And when you fall asleep You're still awake And though you're laughing you know Your heart could break And you could say that you're looking for trust You're looking for faith Love, and love alone Anywhere the four winds blow Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know And at the end of the day, you're still alive And when your strength is gone, you'll still survive And all the words in the world, can't tell you why If you're looking for truth, you're looking for peace

Let's Do It Everywhere Written by Michael Baran Lead Vocals by James Young Lovin' you girl is like fatal attraction I can't find the switch to turn off the action Everywhere we go you just want to make love Your imagination's a cut above, baby Every day of the week, every hour of the day One thing's on your mind, and you say Daytime, night time, any time's the right time Let's do it everywhere Inside, outside, no reason to hide Let's do it everywhere Everywhere I go I feel your hands on me You got my engine racin', and you love to tease It's the only thing that's ever on your mind Except maybe tryin' for just one more time Every day of the week, every minute, every second One thing's on your mind, and you say Daytime, night time, any time's the right time Let's do it everywhere Inside, outside, no reason to hide Let's do it everywhere Hard to handle, hard to please her I'm workin' day and night, she says I just tea...

Heaven In Your Heart Written by Glen Burtnik, Mary Lee Kortes Lead Vocals by Lou DePasqua There's a heaven in your heart I see it when you smile If you don't believe in love Let me show you Heaven in your heart Take a look inside at the Heaven in your heart I'll be there for you I see you counting your troubles on your fingers You don't see the key that's in your hand How many nights will you cry into your pillow Until the day you discover that there's a Heaven in your heart I see it when you smile If you don't believe in love Let me show you Heaven in your heart Take a look inside at the Heaven in your heart I'll be there for you You've taken pictures of all your hopes and wishes Hung them up in castles made of sand You can spend your waking hours dreamin' of tomorrow Until the day you discover that there's a Heaven in your heart Take a look inside at the Heaven in your heart I'll be there for you And we're looking down that endless ...

City of Holy Faith [James Young Group featuring JY]

Image
City Of Holy Faith Written by James Young, Ken Harck, Hank Horton, Lou DePasqua Lead Vocals by James Young Put some blood on the drums We're gonna take a stance We're callin' back the spirits To do that tribal dance In the name of Jesus They claimed this property Cause the one true religion Don't need no quit claim deed You're the City of Holy Faith in the desert sands Lady Macbeth you are Red blood is on your hands You're the City of Holy Faith Better hide the children And get on your knees and pray Cause in the room next to the altar Holy men have gone astray In the City of Holy Faith An evil secret hides Fallen angels there Well sheltered from the light In the City of Holy Faith "In the middle of the second millennium, they came to the high desert; and, in the name of God, they did things that pleased Satan" Take a young mind And twist it all around But on the day of your atonement You hide on hallowed ground In the City of Holy Faith...

My Hallucination [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

My Hallucination Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Manson lived, Lennon died You don't know the reason why I'm crying Thirty years enough time for me Tell me who shot Kennedy I'm dying Long tall Sally She comes and goes Got diamond rings All through her nose Is that all we were fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance We paid the price in Vietnam While crosses burned in Birmingham I'm sighing In Memphis now the church bells ring While L.A. crowns a different king Can't we all get along Hi-ho silver Don't you know I just got faxed from Tokyo Is that what we're still fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance Fat chance Going insane with the fun you've had Who's to blame when it all goes ba...

I'll Always Be With You Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Morning brings another day The sun is shining across the bay And I've come to be with you I'll always be with you I'll always be with you Holding hands and singing songs And you were there To show me right from wrong And I've come to be with you I'll always be with you I'll always be with you Every time I try To tell you why Somehow the words Just slip my mind And I fall deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper There's no pretending and no regrets With wings upon you You look your best And I've come to be with you I'll always be with you I'll always be with you

Come To Be My Friend Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades I don't know what happened I only know what she wants me to see I don't know how I got here I only know just what she burns inside of me There's no use in pretending As she rises from the ashes and then Writes a new happy ending Riding off into the sunset again How can I lay me down to sleep When a part of me is incomplete Whoa oh Guide me safely through the night Everything gonna be all right Oh yeah Now here we are Have you come to be my friend What pretty pictures You have dancing in my head Take what's been given Forget what has been said Now here we are Have you come to be Come to be my friend It all happened so easy She just loved to let me Lick all the spoons I even thought I was crazy She just laughed and kept on Kissing my wounds Now all the king's horses Little green men Can't figure out how to Put me together again Whoa oh Cracks in the window Holes in my soul How ...

Don't Talk To Me Anymore [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Image
Don't Talk To Me Anymore Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw When I look at what's been going on I have to laugh to keep from crying When I think of how it used to be And how so much has changed I never thought to look down that road To see the distance in your eyes And now to think of all that might have been I don't know who to blame At last to sleep, to dream Escape the world that might have been Enough to face the sun again To feel the love shine through the rain Don't talk to me anymore Don't talk to me oh no no no If I ever get over you If my memory starts to fade away Don't be sorry and don't feel sad That's just the way it should be A lesson learned is a penny earned Thank the banker for keeping count of Keep these treasures buried deep in the ground Saved for the bridges we burned A chance to live again To breathe the air, let freedom in To face the world a different man Be who I might have never been Don't talk...

I Stumble In Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades There you were with your umbrella Standing in the pouring rain Lining up for a night of expectation He held you close And you danced together Late into the night it seemed As good as you could have ever imagined But it's all the same You wake up empty again Well you know where there's A shoulder you can lean on I stumble in And I can't help myself from falling I stumble in and I can't help myself no more I can't begin to tell you Everything I'm thinkin' Sometimes I'd rather Just not think at all Yes I know What you've been missing Yes I know I understand That you need every breath I will be your destination I'm your ticket home, my friend Feel that train arrivin' At your station When it's all the same You come up empty again Well you know where there's A shoulder you can dream on I stumble in And I can't help myself from falling I stumble in and I can...

Blue Continental Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Everybody needs a place to ramble Everybody needs a place to hide In my blue Continental I got mine Headed down the coast from Newport Thought it was time for a change In my blue Continental In the rain If you see me in the morning Don't ask me why That road goes on forever By and by No, she's never temperamental She's so smooth and she's so gentle In my blue Continental I can fly

Down That Highway [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Down That Highway Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Little baby crying for attention let me tell you I could use some too A little late for an ounce of prevention Better think of something else to do What happened to the days of summer They came and they went too fast Should have known it wouldn't last forever Now it's all just part of the past Memories, down that highway Whoa yesterday Sittin' in with the boys and a six-string Singin' every Beatles song we knew Gettin' lucky with a girl at the drive-in Keep me happy for a month or two School year dragged by so slowly Seemed like it wouldn't ever end Summer flew by out of control and Left me here again with the memories Down that highway Whoa yesterday Now Jimmy got lost somewhere in L.A. Paco's in trouble with the D.E.A. J.J. ook the easy way out Little Debbie never knew just what it was all about She still don't know today So much for the easy answers So much for the si...

How You Gonna Get Used To This Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw She was a Catholic girl from a northern town She'd tell you no just to see you crawl Plastic Jesus on the dash of her car Got the feeling that I wouldn't get far with Hank Junior blastin' on the radio Now it's too late, cross the wire We were gonna set the world on fire Now it looks as though you're on your own again How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn to make the change  Sittin' alone on the carpet of your living room The kids are asleep, and he's drunk again Now and then, in the back of your mind Get the feeling you've been left behind when it's Me you're hearing blastin' on the radio How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn To make the change How you gonna go through with this How you ever gonna Make it back again How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn To make the change How you gonna go throu...

The Night Goes On Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Did you ever hear the whisper of the night as it rolls in Distant as the moon and yet it gets beneath your skin Gets around the promises of no never again Suddenly it takes the shape of an old familiar friend And ooh the night goes on You reach for your last cigarette, and yeah you ought to quit You ought to do a lot of things, but sometimes you forget And still the fog is lifting, so you take a drive around And over that horizon is an old familiar town And oh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on Ooh ooh the night goes on When old voices dance through your head Where you could run from the things that they said And how could you say "let 'em go, walk away" Oh no, not today You never run away when you can stay and fight today Ooh Ooh Ooh And ooh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on Ooh the night goes on

I Can't Live Without You Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Six o'clock Time to wake up Time to play that game again Put a smile on my face Tell all the lines in my face There was a time When growing up Seemed so far away It's eight a.m. Trapped in a car Nothing but miles of cars ahead Look for a star to chase Dream of a faraway place There was a time When you and I didn't care If we came home at night It was enough to be Layin' under the sky It was important to me To feel you by my side Can't the world go away Lock the door Come back another day I don't know what to do So I'm holding on to you I can live without most everything But I can't live without you Now here we stand It's you and me again Two strangers each on a mission Is it too late Was it worth it all Remember the night I laid you down And we knew it meant forever We swore forever Can't the world go away Lock the door Come back another day So many wa...

How Does It Feel? [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

How Does It Feel Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Lying in an open grave I didn't do it Sign says you'd better get set I wonder who they are talking to Down to the hole in your pocket Way down in the valley Go nothing but time to spend I guess you gonna waste that, too Easy money Is that what you need? Pretty little people surround you as you bleed Bonnie with a whip and chains Bonnie won a cracker So pretty but she got no brains Don't you want her number, too How does It feel to be used? Easy to win when there is nothing to lose How can you feel when it's over and time to go home? Throwing money down a deep black hole like it doesn't matter You tell me it belongs to you Who you think you're talking to? Slow dancing in a whiskey haze Ah, year, you're the victim Keep it up Keep it up all night Till you wake up and you're someone new Hey, hey So close the window Black out the day I see your peace of mind It's going the...
