Music Of My Heart

MUSIC OF MY HEART

When we are together, there is music in my heart,
but there is only silence, whenever we're apart,
I would rather hear the music playing soft and low,
than hearing only silence everywhere I go,
keep the music playing, keep the sunshine in my life,
so I can dance forever with you as my wife,
there are times when music, is a gentle soft refrain,
just like an angry sky that brings a softly falling rain,
you fill my expectations, you fill all my needs,
my love for you keeps growing, just like sprouting seeds,
when I gaze upon your beauty, a drum beats in my heart,
then I hear the violins, softly playing their sweet part,
soon there is an opera, playing so devine,
all because of my love for you, oh sweet love of mine,
so walk up to my jukebox and put some money in,
you will hear the music, when my heart starts to spin,
it will play a love song, written about a love so true,
it will play forever, and it plays only for you.

The Truth Is Lyin Next To You

Everybody said Id leave you
They gave us six months to a year
Said our love would just fall pray to
The jukebox, women and the beer
They wanna get those rumours flyin
Theyre watchin for a rendez-vous
But if they ever say Im cheatin
Theyll be lyin
The truth is lyin next to you
(chorus)
Thruth is
Im gonna be here for a long long time
Ill stay forever or til you say goodbye
Dont need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin next to you
Over phone lines and back fences
Were the talk of this whole town
They just shake their heads in wonder

Shot Down In Flames

(yow! one, two)
Out on the town, looking for a woman
Gonna give me good love
Anybody want to hang out with me?
And maybe burn me up?
She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like shes something to sell
I said, baby whats the going price?
She told me to go to hell
Chorus:
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Aint it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Singles bar, got my eye on a honey
Hanging out everywhere
She might be straight
She minds on her money [she might [want my | got no | run for] money](? )
I really dont care, no
Said, baby, youre driving me crazy

Wrong Night

(josh leo, rick bowles)
I set my mind to it.
Said I wasnt gonna do it.
No how. no sir. no way.
I wouldnt give my heart up.
Gonna keep my guard up.
And save it for another day.
Then you walked in with that crazy grin.
And everything I swore before got lost in your eyes.
And flew right out the door.
Chorus
Suddenly I heard love songs.
Playing real soft on the jukebox.
Somebody ordered up moonlight.
And painted stars all across the sky.
Is it gravity or destiny.
Either way theres nothing I can do.
Looks like I picked the wrong night.
Not to fall in love with you.
I briefly resisted but my heart insisted.

No Man In His Wrong Heart

(trey bruce/ronnie rogers)
On the inside flap of a matchbook cover
She made me the kind of offer
That no man in a weak state could outrun
I tried to think what a gentleman would say
Turnin that kind of opportunity away
I tried my best to tell her Im not the right one
Like no man in his wrong heart wouldve done
I said no maam
Like no man wouldve said if he wasnt in love
With you the way I am
It couldve been easy for me to be a gooner
But something a whole lot stronger made me run
Like no man in his wrong heart wouldve done.
Didnt want her to think that I wasnt flattered
Her interest in me, believe me it mattered
So I dropped several quarters in the old jukebox
I said I want you to dance all night on me
In a lucky mans arrms
Whoever he might be

Death Of The Kapowsin Tavern

I can't ridge it back again from char.
Not one board left. Only ash a cat explores
and shattered glass smoked black and strung
about from the explosion I believe
in the reports. The white school up for sale
for years, most homes abandoned to the rocks
of passing boys--the fire, helped by wind
that blew the neon out six years before,
simply ended lots of ending.

A damn shame. Now, when the night chill
of the lake gets in a troller's bones
where can the troller go for bad wine
washed down frantically with beer?
And when wise men are in style again
will one recount the two-mile glide of cranes
from dead pines or the nameless yellow
flowers thriving in the useless logs,
or dots of light all night about the far end
of the lake, the dawn arrival of the idiot

Losing My Touch

Reservations for one tonight
Ill be eating by myself again
At that quiet little corner spot
Where we used to hang with all our friends
And Ill ease down to the local pub
Climb up on the tallest stool
Holding court with my common sense
Outwitting all these common fools
Chorus:
Ive got good taste for blended whiskey
I can see my way around this bar
I can hear the sound of a vintage jukebox
And smell the smoke of a hand-rolled cigar
I cant read your mind
Baby I can sense this much
When it comes to your love
I feel like Im losing my touch
Youre not buying this anymore
My lies have come up short again
You havent said its over yet

Stars On The Water

(Rodney Crowell)
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
A peirot pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
When it rains
Beaumont to Biloxi sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores
Blue light lounge is shinin'
Why out on the pier
Makes it look just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains
When it's midnight down in Mobile

Devil's Haircut

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Crystals are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the brief case blues

Honky Tonk Side Of Town

Dont you cry __ dont you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure aint nothing new
Its in your walk, its in your talk
Theres only one way to shake it off,
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, dont let it stop
Theres only one thing Ive found
Thatll turn it all around
The blues cant do no business
On a honky tonk side of town
You gotta slip, you gotta slide
Therere gonna try to nail your hide
Yeah, theyll put a hurting on you, given half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
Cause everybody knows the blues dont like to dance
To chorus:
Well, you can walk that walk

Meanstreets

Theres a heartbeat in the city
Caught in the rush theres no pity
On the edge of day
Late night traffic, late to go home
Im slippin out into the twilight zone
Im on the edge of day
* in a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whisperin promises they cant keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away
** out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Its in every move I make
With all the heat now, and all the stories
Heroes wrestle for the chance of glory
On the edge of day
Midnight cowboys make the sweep
Theres nothing sacred on the street
Were on the edge again

Down the Gallowgate

I took a stroll one Saturday along to Argyle Street,
To Glasgow Cross, were the Gallowgate & the Trongate meet,
Under the railway bridge and McKinnon’s pub, I would often pass,
Heading up towards to the Barras, towards the Celtic bars.

My first stop of the journey was the famous Saracen Head
Were rebel songs by Glasgow bands, were loudly, proudly played.
I drank my pint plus two more and gladly sang along;
‘Crossmaglen’, ‘Irish Soldier Laddie’, ‘Sean South of Garryowen’.

I squeezed by some thirsty fans, in through the doorway of Bairds Bar
Were a pint of Tennents 80/, I was duly served,
By the jukebox on the wall, I always like to stand
Listening to a ballad, of the martyr, Bobby Sands.

By the time, I reached the entrance of Bar 67
Grey clouds had gathered and threatened to rain,
I stood amongst fans, who hailed from Belfast and from Derry,
Who had travelled to the game, on the overnight ferry.

Between An Old Memory And Me

(Keith Stegall/Charlie Craig)
I was sittin' at a table
In a little club downtown
Playin' songs on the jukebox
And pourin' whiskey down
When I heard a sweet voice sayin'
"Would you like some company?"
And I had to tell her
This is just between an old memory and me
All my friends tell me
That I'm a fool for holding on
I know their trying to help me
But I've been a fool too long
And I don't want to talk about it
So why can't they just let me be?
'Cause this is just between
An old memory and me
And I'm not hurtin' anybody
As far as I can see
I just need to be alone sometimes

song - The Cafe on the Corner

The jukebox in the corner played
To shadows sitting sipping tea
The light was low and you were there
Your collar open to the sea

We leaned across but never touched
Through some remembered wish or mist
some northerly that left us hushed
and wet where yesterday had kissed

We didn't ever have to try
when I was you and you were me
both amber lit beneath the sky
In salty spray thrown off the sea

Or slipping silently away
and maybe that's what scared us most
we'd meet somewhere as if ordained
without a plan along the coast

The Worst Band In The World

Its one thing to know it but another to admit
Were the worst band in the world
But we dont give a....
If garbo played guitar with valentino on the drums
Then wed be nothing more than a bunch of darma bums
So tune up, tune up
Well weve never done a days work in our life
And our records sell in zillions
It irrigates my heart with greed
To know that you adore me
Up yours, up mine
But up everybodys that takes time -
But were working on it
Working on it (ooh)
We never seen the van - leave it to the roadies -
Never met the roadies - leave them in the van
All because of circumstances way beyond control
We became the darlings of this thing called rock and roll, ooh
Here I am a record on a jukebox
A little piece of plastic with a hole, ooh

Me And Mrs. Jones

Me and mrs. jones, we got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe,
Six-thirty i know she'll be there,
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song.
Me and mrs., mrs. jones, mrs. jones, mrs. jones,
Mrs. jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
We gotta be extra careful that we don't build our hopes too high
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do i,
Me, me and mrs., mrs. jones, mrs. jones, mrs. jones,
Mrs. jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
Well, it's time for us to be leaving,
Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside,
Now she'll go her way and i'll go mine,

Taxi Dancer

Written by John Mellencamp
Oh yeah
Well she started out, just to be a dancer
Gonna make her livin' dancin'
In the Broadway shows
So she hitchhiked cross the country
From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple
Where your dreams are made
Your debts must be paid on time
Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city
So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
And all her auditions
They didn't turn out so pretty
So she took a job dancin'
At the bar down the street as well
*I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams
How they faded away
I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer

Zoe Reno Is Not A Car?

Hey Reno! Get the name right!
Hey Reno! Zoe is not a common noun!
Zoe is a first name! A Christian name!
In Greek Zoe means life, abundant life!

Zoe Reno is a young girl, your car stole her name!

Oh Zoe is not a name you do not believe me?
Your paid judge has ruled Zoe is not a first name!
Ever heard of St. Zoe, a Roman noble woman?
Several notable Christian women were named Zoe!

Two were empresses ruling in the Byzantine empire!

Their recorded rule kinda out rules your judge!
St. Zoe the Roman noble woman was martyred!
Why? For her Christian faith in Emperor Diocletian’s
famous severest last persecution of the Christian church!

What it is not a living word? Ok you do not buy it fine!

Bad Boy

A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood
He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good
He don't want to go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night
Well, he put some tacks on teachers chair
Puts some gum in little girl's hair
Hey, junior, behave yourself
Buys every rock and roll book on the magazine stand
Every dime that he get is lost to the jukebox man
Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop
From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop
Well this rock and roll has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself
Going tell your mama you better do what she said
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundramat
Well, mama's head has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
