Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[touch]

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind...
And
You were on my mind

I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind

So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pains
Just to ease my pains

I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I came home again

 

The band We Five

Songwriter: Sylvia Fricker

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you, oh, oh, oh

 

Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime, yeah
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed, oh-oh

 

 

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you, oho-oh
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't wanna
I wouldn't want to be like you
I wouldn't want to be like you
Yeah, uh, yeah, oh

World Party - Ship Of Fools

 

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good

[TiScape]

[touch]

Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me, girl
You know I've done all I can
You see, I begged, stole, and I borrowed, yeah, ooh

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

 

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, oh babe
Ooh

 

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

 

The Commodores

Songwriter: Lionel Richie

[touch]

We got a lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'd do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
Who's teaching us a better way

We've got all the friends, that money can buy
So we never have to be alone (no)
And we keep gettin' richer, but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
On the cover of the Rollin'-

Heartbreaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true

Red-hot mama, velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

 

Now you're messin' with a
(A son of a b****) Now you're messin' with a son of a b****
Now you're messin' with a

 

Talking, jiving, poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, bone faker
I ain't so blind I can't see

Red-hot mama, down light charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

 

Now you're messin' with a
(A son of a b****) Now you're messin' with a son of a b****
Now you're messin' with a
(A son of a b****) Now you're messin' with a son of a b****
