Hard Rock Bands

"Don't look back, ooh a new day is breakin', It's been too long since I felt this way. I don't mind ooh where I get taken, The road is callin', today is the day."

"You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be. If only I could find a way, I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am. And it's getting harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see, A man I'll never be."

"Well, we were just another band out of Boston, On the road to try to make ends meet. Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars And we practiced right on out in the street. No, we didn't have much money. We barely made enough to survive. But when we got up on stage and got ready to play, People came alive.Rock and roll band, everybody's waitin', Gettin' crazy, anticipating love and music. Play, play, play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Now I like taking off, Don't like burning out. Every time you turn it on Makes me want to shout. We keep getting hotter, Moving way too fast. If we don't slow this fire down, We're not going to last.Cool the engines, Red line's getting near. Cool the engines, Better take it out of gear."

"We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll, You gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control. We're gettin' down today, We'll pick you up and take you away, Get down tonight.Smokin', smokin', We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'. Smokin', smokin', I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah."

"I looked out this morning and the sun was gone, Turned on some music to start my day. I lost myself in a familiar song. I closed my eyes and I slipped away...It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling). When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling). I begin dreaming (more than a feeling), 'Till I see Marianne walk away. I see my Marianne walkin' away."

"Now if your feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been payin', Future's comin' much too slow. And you wanna run but somehow you keep on stayin', Can't decide on which way to go.I understand about indecision, But I don't care if I get behind. People living in competition, All I want is to have my peace of mind."

"Your words buzz around my head, You make me feel warm again. You are my lover, my song, my best friend, I don't want this to ever end.You hold my heart in your hands, Our home is like a promised land. I just want you, just want you to understand."

"I took all I need, I don't need no more. Then I'll take what I want, Until I want some more."

"Do you want to do it all with me? Do you want to scream and bleed for me? You can have all of me, all of me. Your teeth taste just like razor blades. Yeah you got my tongue ready. You fill me up with your politics And leave me so heavy."

"On a good day, it's not every day, We can part the sea. And on a bad day, it's not every day, Glory beyond our reach."

"We've been avoiding this for so long. Luxury is temporary, then it's gone. I thought that we would happen; I guess I'm wrong. We'll move along. I know this will be awkward, But not for long. 'Cause soon you'll have a new boy To sing you songs."

"I've been down, Cascading and blue without a sound. Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown. So feed me milk & honey. Lay me down, Lay me down, Look around. Show me holy places not yet found. Let's disappear and we'll hide underground. We'll get high and we'll feel safe and sound. It comes around."

"Goodbye daughters of the revolution. Open your eyes and see your solution. Hallelujah come join the jubilee."

"Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind; Other times sunshine high head fine. In between I get cold, old mean, Intertwined with country pride open and kind. This draws a line, Sorry to coin a phrase. On either side is wisdom and rage."

"Ain't as easy as it seems To find a mutual dream. Can you tell me wrong from right? Do you know when to freeze or take flight? Can you tell me more or less? I got to know - confess."

"Says she talks to angels, They call her out by her name. Oh yeah, she talks to angels, Says they call her out by her name. She don't know no lovers, None that I've ever seen. And to her that means nothing, But to me it means, means everything."

"Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century, By courtesy of your mother. The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery, Look at what money can buy. Sons & daughters better open your eyes, Tell me what you're seeing. This submission is a tired tradition; It's everyone's sacrifice."

"If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it. Put your good foot forward, No need for heroics, I just want you to show it. Now's the time to shine, Your independence is a half-ass deliverance. The train left the station. The recognition of the same old condition, Your symptoms showing through."

"Baby, baby why can't you sit still? Who killed that bird out on you window sill? Are you the reason that he broke his back? Did I see you laugh about that? If I come on like a dream, Would you let me show you what I mean? If you let me come on inside Will you let it glide?Can I have some remedy? Remedy for me please. 'Cause if I had some remedy, I'd take enough to please me."

"Feeling second fiddle to a dead man, Up to my neck with your disregard. Like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway, No one wants to hear you when you're down."

"Cheat the odds that made you Brave to try to gamble at times. Well I feel like dirty laundry, Sending sickness on down the line. Tell you why.'Cause I'm jealous, jealous again. Thought it time I let you in. Yeah, I'm jealous, jealous again. Got no time, baby."

"She never mentions the word addiction In certain company. Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan After you meet her family.She paints her eyes as black as night now, She pulls those shades down tight. She gives a smile when the pain comes; The pain gonna' make everything alright."

"Oh good heavens, baby where's my medicine? I must have left it outside with my etiquette. The undertaker's rule of thumb: It's hard to talk with a Novocaine tongue."

"A hundred years will never ease Hearing things I won't believe. I saw it with my own two eyes, All the pain that I can't hide. And this pain starts in my heart, And this love tears us apart. You won't find me bent down on my knees, Ain't bendin' over backwards baby, Not to please."

"Twice as hard As it was the first time I said goodbye.And no one ever wanna' know. Love ain't funny, A crime in the wink of an eye."

"I've been thinking 'bout the times you walked out on me. There were moments I'd believe, you were there. Do I miss you, or am I lying to myself again? I do these things (it's all because of you). I keep holding on, but I'll try (try not to think of you). Love don't leave me lonely."

"Highway run into the midnight sun Wheels go 'round and 'round, you're on my mind. Restless hearts sleep alone tonight, Sendin' all my love along the wire.They say that the road ain't no place to start a family. Right down the line it's been you and me. And lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be. Oh, girl you stand by me, I'm forever yours, faithfully."

"Be good to yourself when, nobody else will. Oh be good to yourself. You're walkin' a high wire, caught in a cross fire. Oh be good to yourself When you can't give no more. They want it all but you gotta say no."

"It's been so long, since I've seen her face. You say she's doin' fine. I still recall a sad cafe. How it hurt so bad to see her cry. I didn't wanna say goodbye.Send her my love, memories remain. Send her my love, roses never fade. Send her my love."

"Those summer nights are callin', Stone in love. Can't help myself I'm fallin' Stone in love."

"Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin'."

"It's been a mystery, But still they try to see Why something good Can hurt so bad.Caught on a one-way street, The taste of bittersweet Love will survive somehow, some way.One love feeds the fire, One heart burns desire. Wonder who's cryin' now."

"Should have told you then I knew, Should have told you right From the start. But the words Didn't come out right. So I'll tell you Straight from my heart."

"Any way you want it That's the way you need it. Any way you want it. She loves to laugh, She loves to sing, She does everything. She loves to move, She loves to groove, She loves the lovin' things. Ooh, all night, all night, Oh, every night."

"Only the young can say They're free to fly away, Sharing the same desires, Burnin' like wildfire.They're seein' through the promises And all the lies they dare to tell. Is it heaven or hell? They know very well."

"Lying beside you here in the dark, Feeling your heart beat with mine. Softly you whisper, you're so sincere, How could our love be so blind?We sailed on together, We drifted apart. And here you are by my side.So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say. So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me, open arms."

"Here we stand Worlds apart. Hearts broken in two, two, two. Sleepless nights, Losing ground. I'm reaching for you, you, you.Feelin' that it's gone. Can't change your mind. If we can't go on To survive the tide. Love divides."

"Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train Goin' anywhere. Just a city boy, Born and raised in South Detroit. He took the midnight train Goin' anywhere.A singer in a smokey room, A smell of wine and cheap perfume. For a smile they can share the night, It goes on and on and on and on."

"The girl can't help it, she needs more. He hasn't found what he's lookin' for. They're still standing in the rain. He can't help it, and she's just that way. And when he calls her, She tells him that she still cares. Under the moonlight, He wonders why she can't be there...why. Why do they go on alone When they're missin' each other?"

"Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'. I don't know where I'll be tomorrow. Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'."

"In my life I see where I've been, I said that I'd never fall again. Within myself I was wrong. My searchin' ain't over... over I know that.When you love a woman, You see your world inside her eyes. When you love a woman, You know she's standin' by your side. A joy that lasts forever. There's a band of gold that shines waiting Somewhere... oh oh yeah."

"Opened my eyes to a new kind of way, All the good times that you saved. Are you feeling, You feeling that way too? Or am I just, Am I just a fool?"

"Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other When I'm alone all by myself, You're out with someone else Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other."

"Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching In the night. Streetlights, people Livin' just to find emotion Hidin', somewhere in the night."

"Workin' hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill. Payin' anything to roll the dice Just one more time. Some will win, Some will lose, Some were born to sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends, It goes on and on and on and on."

"When the lights go down in the city And the sun shines on the bay, Do I wanna be there in my city?"
