Little Did We Know [Dennis DeYoung]

Little Did We Know  Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung So many were the days when life seemed unbearable Breathing in the haze that poisoned the air Lost and alone it was so inhumane In a twilight zone with the world gone insane So little did we know, denying our ignorance So little did we care in a cloak of indifference See we were the ones who refused to believe And now we'll see they'll be thеy'll be no reprievе Oh so little did we know Like zombies with flesh on our minds Oh no no now where can we go So little do we know Seems the only way we learn is when it's the hard way At the point of no return we still look away Unable to face the truth or the facts We start our vicious attacks, come what may What's wrong with us? Oh, the price that we'll pay We don't listen only speak 'cause, man, we know everything Don't you mess with my beliefs when you don't know anything Unwilling to change or even to bend We lose our family a...

Another [Glen Burtnik]

Image
Another  Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Just like a jaguar sun You pull me down Like panther wind You twist me around You own me hard and fast I can't keep time The guns in your eyes They level at mine In another life Would we dance again? Would we be here now and still be friends? This electric fire Would you recognize? Would I see your eyes in someone? When you look into the sky Did you buy an apparition in the night Before they fade I catch the light In another lifetime I'm drifting off the shore You pull me in The locus blooms but it's wearing thin Whoa In another life Would I speak your name? Would there be a prayer we'd meet again? In a world of glass we could hide behind Would I find you there in someone? I wanna fly into the sky I wanna fall 'til my body starts to cry Somewhere beyond the words could find In another lifetime Would you cry? Would you try? If I died in the middle of the night Would you be on the other side? Would you be...

Heart in 3 [Glen Burtnik]

Heart in 3 Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Like a game of cat and mouse One pursues the other tries to hide There's a paw pushed in the knothole Grabbing at the occupants inside But it's all right I don't mind I can take my time Cause I could break your heart in three And I could shake you from your tree One could be the artist Just about the paint a masterpiece One could be the subject Slashing at the canvass in her sleep But we'll get through No matter what you do I can wait for you Cuz I could break your heart in three And I could wake you from your dream Is it hard to find? Is it just you're mine? Maybe you think that there is an apple you're bringing to the party Then can you believe I'm a 24/7/365 slave waiting on ya You're putting the whip upon the back of of the king You kiss the ring and then you pull down the shade and you unsheathe the blade You seize the moment thinking how you're cutting me But don't act too qu...

Do Things My Way

Do Things My Way Written by Styx Lead vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube Look at you you’re talking to yourself Could it maybe be a cry for help Can’t see the forest from your tree there Sometimes I think you’re doing well Other times you put yourself through hell It’s enough to bring you to your knees dear I’m gonna open up to you It’s all I’m really trying to do Say what’s on my mind Yeah what’s on my mind, singin’ If you wanna have it your way Yeah you gotta do things my way If you really wanna have it your way All you gotta do is do things my way You’ve had me by the little hairs Running here and there and everywhere Now I know exactly how your mind is wired I always knew this day would come To face the monster you’ve been hiding from So either douse the flame of love Or stoke the fire Or we can play this guessing game I call your bluff you do the same We’re just wasting time Wasting all my time, listen If you wanna have it your way Yeah you gotta do things my way If you really...

While There's Still Time

While There's Still Time Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube How can I sleep tonight? When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away, And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye, Baby you'll cry Where do I find the words? To convince you that there's a secret part of me, That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door, When I'm wanting you more So while there's still time, Know that I love you, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I could stop the dawn, Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more, And never again have to say how much I'm missing you, But what can I do? So while there's still time, Say that you love me, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I should go, if I should go, There's a chance I could lose, The love of my life, the love of my life, Baby please don't make me choose Believe me Trust me Let me inside And while t...

Stop Knockin' [Tommy Shaw]

Stop Knockin' Written by Tommy Shaw, Gerry Goffin, Barry Golfberg Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Busted and broke And I'm too old to toke I'd pay somebody money If they told me a joke Don't let my dreams Go up in smoke Don't want to stare At the man who wears a cloak 'Cause I'm on the inside Watching as the world goes by And I'm trying to make it If you'd only let me try Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl Every time you push me You make me stall You know you've got to stop Knocking my heart against the wall I always gotta stare Right in your eyes Lookin' for the truth But you keep on telling me lies It's too late to get crazy Too late for alibis You look me through the reasons Until I got wise I never leave you Just keep comin' back for more Why must you keep me With my feet dragging on the floor Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl ...

My Crowning Achievement [Glen Burtnik]

Image
My Crowning Achievement Written by Glen Burtnik and Bob Burger Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik A little more here, a little less there. Slowly creating a world out of air And surely frustrating the hell out of her; My crowning achievement She dug in heels & put up her fists Cursing the punchlines I had bound to her wrists But there was that feeling she couldn't resist: My crowning achievement So go on, go ahead, bang the walls, shake the bed, Tell me what you're afraid for Yeah, go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, wake the dead Isn't that what you came for? I felt the applause just knowing that I Had conquered the mountain, watched the sunrise And self satisfied I lay claim to my prize: My crowning achievement So go on, go ahead, bang the walls, shake the bed, Tell me what you're afraid for Yeah, go on, go ahead, smash the mirror, wake the dead isn't that what you came for? And when I awoke she stood over me. The look on her face I could hardly believe Placing a halo...

Savage Blue Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon Lead Vocals by John Waite When I hold you in my gaze When there's nothing else to say I can still find you when you look away You can say to me we're through You can say that you are free But you fool yourself You belong to me The more you wanna run You can't make it to the door Took a chance on love Now we both want more And tonight goes on forever I can feel it in my life I can see it in your eyes Going through this world together Finding paradise with you Into the savage blue The savage blue with you When the storm has passed us by And the crowd has come and gone I will be with you Cause our love goes on And we share a quiet place That no one else can touch Spirits live as one And our souls are free I will wait for you Now my heart's an open door Tell me that you'll stay Don't wanna lose you anymore And tonight goes on forever I can feel it in my life I can see it in your eyes Going through this wo...

Back To Chicago

Back To Chicago Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung I was waiting all alone last night When they cancelled all remaining flights And I was suddenly aware, I was being so unfair To turn and run from you again So I called you on the telephone And I said hey girl I'm coming home Cause I know my words were cruel And that I acted like a fool But I'm gonna make it all up to you And I don't care what people say Cause I'm gonna love you night & day Oh baby if you still want me Still need me, all you gotta do is let me Walk right up to your door I'm makin' my way back to Chicago I'm makin' my way come rain or shine I'm gonna find true love waiting for me I'm gonna make it all work out for good this time Let's go walking by the beach tonight And watch the sun come up on Lake Shore Drive Then I'll take you in my arms And I'll keep you from all harm Cause I know everything is gonna be alright And I don't care what peop...

Somewhere In The Night [Tommy Shaw]

Somewhere In The Night Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Driving through the midnight rain Blinded by the light Thinking 'bout those things you told me Late last night Words keep running round in my mind All the anger in your eyes The way you told me we were over The way you cried Oh I drove through the night The rain just kept beating down The first sign of morning I stopped in this strange little town Somewhere in the night The answer's escaping me now Somewhere in the night It's hiding in the shadows Somewhere in the night The answer is waiting for me And I won't see Until the morning light Found a place to drink some coffee Sat staring at the phone Kept thinking of the way I left you So all alone Remembered all the things we've been through So I got the phone and dialed I'd give up every thing I had If I could see you smile Oh it rang and it rang So nervous I started to shake You picked up and answered So lonely I felt my heart...
