Bus Stop


Bus Stop
French Title: Arrêt D'autobus
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Originally performed by: The Hollies Covered by various other artists



Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Life Is A Celebration


Life Is A Celebration
Composer(s): Rick Springfield
Performer(s): Rick Springfield



I was lost on a winding road
I thought that life had nothing left to give
Then you came and showed me that just to live
Was the greatest gift of all

And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah

How could I have been so blind?
Just to think that we were living to die
Then you came along and I was no longer alone
And you lead me to the light
And you showed me

Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah

And you showed me life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate life

Bus Rider


Bus Rider
Composer(s): Kurt Winter
Performer(s): The Guess Who



Get up in the morning, get on the bus
Get up in the morning like the rest of us
Places to go, important people to meet
Better not get up or you might lose your seat

(Bus rider)

Leave the house at six o'clock to be on time
Leave the wife and kids at home to make a dime
Grab your lunch pail, check for mail in your slot
You won't get your cheque if you don't punch the clock

(Bus rider)

(Bus rider)

Grab the evening paper and sit down in your chair
Grab yourself a toupee 'cause you're losin' your hair
Doesn't matter what you do, you've nothin' to lose
I'm so awful goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes

(Bus rider)

(Bus rider) You know you'll ride it every single mornin' today
(Bus rider) Ride, ride, little man
(Bus rider) I don't wanna ride, no I don't wanna ride
(Bus rider) Get up in the morning, get on the bus
(Bus rider) Oh, little man ridin' upside down, yeah
(Bus rider) Mmm, no I don't wanna ride
(Bus rider)

Life In The Fast Lane


Life In The Fast Lane
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1976



He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common: they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster" "The lights are turning red"

Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane

Eager for action and hot for the game
The comming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people; They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties; They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evenin' until it was light
He was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight about it.

Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Blowin' and burnin' blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign; Took a turn for the worst
She said, "Listen, baby
You can hear the engine ring
"We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a god-damn thing"
He said, "Call the doctor
I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash"
They were rushing down that freeway; Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off

And it was life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee


Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Composer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie
Performer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie; Indigo Girls



Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
Now, he don't know much about the issue
so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
Senator out in Indian country
A darling of the energy companies who are
ripping off what’s left of the reservations
Huh

I learned a safety rule
I don’t know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank
They send in federal tanks
It isn’t nice but it’s reality

Chorus:
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Huh

They got these energy companies that want the land
and they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands
and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
Get rich... get rich quick

Chorus

We got the federal marshals
We got the covert spies
We got the liars by the fire
We got the FBIs
They lie in court and get nailed
and still Peltier goes off to jail

Chorus

My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure
Loo loo loo loo loo

Chorus

We had the Goldrush Wars
Aw, didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl
They tell ‘ya “Honey, you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the ‘Y’ on Saturday nights”

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Huh!

Life In The Bloodstream


Life In The Bloodstream
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): The Guess Who



You don't believe that this whole universe
Could be inside your little sister's purse
You don't believe you're just a living glob
Like Lucy, Freddy, Ricky, Frank and Bob

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

Ain't it hard when you discover
Your energy has to leave you for another
Don't it make you wanna lay down and cry
When they tell you it's time you have to die

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

Life In London


Life In London
Composer(s): Pat Travers
Performer(s): Pat Travers



Life in London is bittersweet
Spray can slogans along the street
Some kind of revolution in the town
Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown

What's goin' down
Is just the same old sound
You know that energy
Has always been my drug for me

And I came across a lot of water
Just to see if it could be
The place to go, the life for me
I changed my dollars into pounds
And now that drink is gonna cost me 50p.

But the District Line just doesn't seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today

And I've met a lot of great people
I guess that's one thing that will never change
People are people wherever you go
Now you wanna know why, it's cuz I'm telling you so

But I'd like to see, some peace and harmony
Well, everybody thinks differently
But that shouldn't mean a thing
Shouldn't mean a thing

Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go
Back to a land that I think I know
Bring some things with me
Leave something behind
Oh, Life in London's at the back of my mind

But the District Line just doesn't seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today

Bury Me Standing


Bury Me Standing
Composer(s): Gerrit Graham; Bob Weir
Performer(s): Bob Weir & RatDog



Once again the crossroads
Ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
Goddess lost my number, babe
Left me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I've been too long on my knees

Angel and the devil, babe
They be walking side by side
Hammer on each other, babe
Never one be satisfied
Bury me standing
Just the last place left to hide

Nothing you can figure, babe
Nothing you can fix
Ain't much of nothing, babe
Just a couple tricks

Ooh - now I know you know that song
Bury me standing
I've been crawling way too long

Got a fist full of trouble, babe
And one more will get you three
Whole lot of shakin' peaches, babe
Poison peaches, trouble tree
If I change my way of living
Well it would mean so much to me

Blue smoke in the bar room
Tattooed muscle, beer for beer
Brown bottles and whiskey, babe
Got a pay phone to my ear
Woman made me love her
Now some dude tells me she ain't here

Give me whisky for whisky
Give me blow for blow
Give me whole lot of nothing baby
But to go down slow

Give me fire for fire
Give me ice for ice
Give me something to live for baby
Now I'm asking nice

Ooh - Goddamn eternal tease
Bury me standing
I been too long on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be

Once again the crossroads
And there ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
Goddess tossed my number, babe
Left me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I been a lifetime on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be

Let me be
Lay me down and let me be
Let me be
Let me be
Lay me down and let me be
Let me be
Lay me down and let me be

Life Has Just Begun


Life Has Just Begun
Composer(s): Randy California
Performer(s): Spirit



Oh hey Kiowa, I know your name
Catch me a glancing with one of your eye
So much we are chancing if we said goodbye, Ohh
Softly say you'll be my bride and
our hopes all sun and feel
Say you'll always be here by my side
With the hopes all constantly ohh
We walked in the dream and we knew it was
Married in the dreams
Strange as it seemed that we knew because
Because life has just begun
Life has just begun, life has just begun
Because life has just begun

Hey Kiowa, I know your name
Hey Kiowa, I know your name
Walking in that sunny hour
I even know your names Atowa
No war on the rocky hour
I meet some people of desire
Walked in the dream and we knew it was
Strange as it seemed that we knew because
Because life has just begun
Life has just begun, life has just begun
life has just begun, life has just begun
Because life has just begun
Because life has just begun

Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?


Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Composer(s): Carson Robison
Performer(s): Carson Robison



The sun comes up and the sun goes down
The hands on the clock go round and roumd
I just wake up and it's time to lay down
Life gets tee-jus, don't it?

My shoe's untied, but shucks, I don't care
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere
I'd brush my teeth and comb my hair
Just too much wasted effort

The water in the well gets lower and lower
Ain't had a bath in a month or more
I've heard it said and I'm sure it's true
That too much bathin'll weaken you

Danged ol' mule, he must be sick
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick
He hunched his back, but he wouldn't kick
Something cock-eyed somewhere

Hound dog's howlin' so forlorn
Laziest dawg that ever was born
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn
Just too tired to move over

Well, the cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay
And my well dried up last Saturday
My troubles keep pilin' up day by day
And now I'm gettin' dandruff

Roof's a-leakin' and the chimney leans
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
Now I've eat the last of the pork an' beans
Just can't depend on nuthin'

Mouse is gnawin' at the pantry door
He's been at it now for a month or more
When he gets through he'll sure be sore
'Cause there ain't a dang thing in there

Well, it's debts and taxes and pains and woes
Aches and miseries and that's how it goes
And now I'm getting a cold in my nose
Life gets tasteless, don't it?

Life Can Be Beautiful


Life Can Be Beautiful
Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Vaugh Monroe & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



My life was never like a story
No happy ending was in view
But now a miracle has happened
The way I feel is all so new

Life can be beautiful, how do I know
Somebody beautiful just told me so
Life can be summertime when it's really fall
Love can come any time, any time at all
Nights can be heavenly, take nights like this
What makes them heavenly? Only your kiss
Through all these many years guess I always knew
That life could be beautiful with you

First release by: Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble -1991
Covered by multiple other artists



Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was ‘til the end
We played out in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again

You’re livin’ our dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin’, Lord it won’t stop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop

Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin’ bout good thangs, singin’ the blues
You went your way, I stayed behind
We both knew it was justa matter of time

You’re livin’ our dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin’, Lord it won’t stop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop

No wasted time, we’re alive today
Churnin’ up the past, there’s no easier way
Times been between us, a means to an end
God it’s good to be here walkin’ together my friend

We’re livin’ our dreams
My mind’s stopped achin’
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop
That’s how it happens livin’ life by the drop

Burning Memories


Burning Memories
Composer(s): Mel Tillis; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Ray Price



Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone, I won't want you

Burning mem'ries
Burning mem'ries
Memories of you that I can't lose

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live alone on memories
Into the fire those dreams you shattered
And when the smoke is gone, then I'll be free

Burning mem'ries
Burning mem'ries
Memories of you that I can't lose

Il était fou de se quitter
Alors tu dois lui pardonner

Burning Lights


Burning Lights
Performer(s): Joe Strummer



Some dreams are made for children
But most grow old with us
And when the air can hope to hold on
And to the ground from dust to rust

Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know

And I've been a long haul driver
Moving things but the cops don't know
Now I can see the writing
You are the last of the buffalo

Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know

Now I've been to California
And I've been to New South Wales
Sometimes I, I pull over
When I realise I've left no trace

Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know

Life Begins At The Hop


Life Begins At The Hop
Composer(s): Colin Moulding
Performer(s): XTC



I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop
Come with me to the church on the corner, the hop
There's nuts and crisps and ccc cola on tap
A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop
The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop
We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop
Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls
