LYRICS

WINTER MARCHES ON
Duran Duran

The trade's on
She drains emotion
To drink from
The breast of fortune
Dreams have frozen
Crystal in the morning
Birthtime rose
A thorn for coronation


All arise from your rest
We'll find enough there to feed you
Soon you'll belong to the blessed
Spare us your lives while we need you


Loud is the music the crowd is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...
Loud is the chorus your voice is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...


Loud is the music the crowd is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...
Loud is the chorus your voice is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...


And on... Winter marches on...


BLACK VELVET
Allannah Myles

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The son is setting like mollasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, leaving you longing for...


Black velvet in that little boy's smile
Black velvet in that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet, if you please


Up in Memphis, the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, it's bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love Me Tender" leaves them crying in the aisles
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for...


Black velvet in that little boy's smile
Black velvet in that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet, if you please


Every word of every song that he sang was for you...
In a flash, he was gone -
It happened so soon -
What could you do?


SOUND OF THUNDER
Duran Duran

I've been in this grass here
For the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?
Does it fly through the air?
Oh, I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking days away
And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Here I am
I'm a dotted line
Cut the corners
Stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
And I just lie here
It's what I was meant for
And now my eyes are closing
But I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
I might fly off...
Waiting for the sound of thunder...


DO YOU BELIEVE IN SHAME
Duran Duran

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all, then why do we only feel the pain?
I heard you speak my name
Heard you sing in a storm
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static on my telephone
So why your eyelids are closed
Inside a case of rust?
Did you have to change all your poet's fire into frozen dust?
I try to justify it
To learn from [my] mistakes
It was a stupid lie that had to make its point in such a pointless waste
Come out~!
Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same, would you love again, or abandon both?
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damned lonely when I think of you
And it may seem selfish now
But I'll hold onto the memory
Until all this fear has washed away
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
Because I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die!


DANCING IN THE RUINS
Blue Oyster Cult

Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday
Everything we see just fades away
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be
Time drops by a second to eternity
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
But turn and turn and turn we must
I guess I'll see you dancing in the ruins tonight
There's laughter where I used to shed a tear
It's all done with mirrors, have no fear
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time
The nights we spent together are no crime
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
But turn and turn and turn we must
I guess I'll see you dancing in the ruins tonight
Like marble statues all with gold inlaid
In castles built of silence, let us pray
Even though our souls ride in our flesh
We can build a bridge of tenderness
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
But turn and turn and turn we must
I guess I'll see you dancing in the ruins tonight


ORDINARY WORLD
Duran Duran

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the Avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Cover me
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
And now pride's gone out the window
Crost the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some would say
Where is my friend when I need you most
Cover me
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Any world is my world.


TEARS IN HEAVEN
Eric Clapton

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Because I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
Because I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.


I JUST WANT YOU
Ozzy Osbourne

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again
There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you
There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins
Or forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true
I don't ask much
I just want you
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lenin's daughter
There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens
Do you know what I mean?
There are no indisputable truths
And there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you.
