King Of Love

King Of Love Written by Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich,  Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by James Young and Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube   Wandering deserts all alone Only in my dreams I've known There's a place I can call home Beyond my reach so far If I were King of this ol' world I'd fix the endless bickering And stop the ways of the unkind Help the sick, and try and cure the blind Speaking of the king of love Well, the noise and confusion are such a mess The money and greed just gives us less But I'm just the man to change that song To write new words, to right all wrongs! Speaking of the king of love The king of love Ain't no need to bow or kiss the ring You don't need to worry about anything Just take this love that I'm offering To you. Yes. You Ain't no need to bow or kiss the ring You don't need to worry about anything Just take this love that I'm offering To you. Yes. You If I were King of this ol' world I'd fix the endless suffering...

The Things That You Said

The Things That You Said Written by Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube  So, are you sorry for the things that you said? What was the one that made you start to see red? That turned you right into the maniac that can't slow down Now they tell me that you're doubling down And causing trouble now all over the town And can anything ever satisfy you now? Did they give you everything that you need? All the saviors that you never could heed And will anything ever satisfy you now? So what is it that you're trying to be? If not a menace to society When there is nothing to protect you From yourself right now (Did they give you what you need?) Did they give you everything that you need? (Did you find a little peace?) Will they help you find a little peace? And can anything ever satisfy you now? Sightings are everywhere (Nobody seemed to know) On the ground and in the air (Where did you go?) Still no-one seemed to care or even notice (We never know)...

Long Live The King

Long Live The King Written by Lawrence Gowan, Ricky Philips, Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by  Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube   Locked in the tower of the castle wall, there's a stranger Waiting for his day And things that he'd say To bring down the old one High above the ranks of greed and confusion Almost half asleep, in the belly of the beast Awaits a Monster The King is dead And the world is set on fire And we all scream, "long live the king!" Long live the king Long live the king There's an army of a million men at the gate Looking for a war to wage Like an actor with no stage Or someone to feed them Thеre is no beginning and therе is no end All just take the seat Stuck there on repeat And they'll do it again and again and again and again I said "yeah!" The king is dead And the world is set on fire And we all scream, long live the king Long live the king Long live the king

To Those

To Those Written by Lawrence Gowan, Ricky Philips, Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Listen on YouTube   To those who do survive Find beauty in your lives Don't be afraid of love Stand up and rise above If young men could send the old ones to war There'd soon be peace forevermore Take their mansions and seize their gold What kind of criminal would be so bold? Can't deny To those who do survive Find beauty in your lives Don't be afraid of love Stand up and rise above Come in here with a message that's clear And cuts through all of the clattеr We have faith in the human racе Not a shadow who's mad as a hatter And he's not fooling anyone anymore To those who do survive Find beauty in your lives Don't be afraid of love Stand up and rise above...

One Hundred Years from Now [Dennis DeYoung]

  One Hundred Years from Now Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale When centuries of fear and hate have left a bloody trail Will there come a time we'll live to see When the sins of our fathers and mothers will cease to be [The original release, in Canada, had a different version, a duet with Eric Lapointe that features French lyrics] And can we find a way to live and let live When we know the hardest part is learning to forgive And who will be the first, and who will be last To admit that the future can never be lived in the past So pray tonight, pray we must But prayers alone cannot build the trust For all those people whose vengeance is their vow Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now And how do we repair the damage done To all of those who've known the loss of daughters and of sons And can we really feel ano...

It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace) (Willie Dixon cover)

Image
It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace) Written by Willie Dixon Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube You have made great planes to span the skies You gave sight to the blind with other men's eyes You even made submarines stay submerged for weeks But it don't make sense you can't make peace You take one man's heart and make another man live You even go to the moon and come back thrilled Why you can crush any country in a matter of weeks But it don't make sense you can't make peace You can make a transfusion that can save a life Why you can change the darkness into broad daylight You make the deaf man hear and the dumb man speak But it don't make sense you can't make peace

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

Image
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

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...
