"HIC"

Drifter Lyrics
by Whitesnake

I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name

Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter

Rollin' on
Ain't wastin' my time no more

Soul kitchen


Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night

Some great lyrics there, Supersaiyan. =D

Rainbow- 'L.A. Connection' (Richie Blackmore/Ronnie James Dio)

Oh, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans I guess I've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings and left out in the cold

Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection, yeah

Operator place a call keep secret but it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift find a haven in the storm
I got no time I need a lift to where it's sweet and close and warm

I say
Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection

Hey, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans well I've just failed the test
Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim needs blessing from the day, oh

You're Gonna Break My Heart Again

Now I know
I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realised
All the memories
Walked right out the door...

Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly
What's coming to me

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

Now you say
I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know
We've been this way
One thousand times before

You told me once,
You told me twice
It's down to me, girl
To pay the price
But, this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it
Yes you are

You talk of how our love
Was meant to be
And all the time
You sacrificed for me...

So how could I forget it,
Why should I regret it
'Cos when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes,
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...break my heart...

Now you say
There is no one in the world
Can get the better of you
An' you should know
'Cos you never made it easy
With the pain you put me thru

I told you once
I told you twice
It's down to you, girl
To pay the price
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

I just can't take anymore,
No more, no more, no more...

"Ready To Run"



When the train rolls by
I'm gonna be ready this time
When the boy gets that look in his eyes
I'm gonna be ready this time
When my momma says I look good in white
I'm gonna be ready this time

Oh yea
Ready ready ready ready ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love

I feel the wind blow through my hair
I'm gonna be ready this time
I'll buy a ticket to anywhere
I'm gonna be ready this time
You see it feels like I'm starting to care
And I'm gonna be ready this time

Ready ready ready ready ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love
Ready to run ready to run
Ready ready ready ready ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love
Ready to run ready to run
Ready to run ready to run
I'm ready I'm ready

One night in heaven

Written by - Mike Pickering and Paul Heard




One...

One night in heaven. One night in heaven. [x2]
One night
One night in heaven. One night in heaven. [x2]

Yeah-hee-heee-yeah
Yeah-hee-heee-yeah

One...

Sometimes I get to thinking, while you are far away,
just how much I miss you and how time it ticks away.
So sad when we are fighting, too much tension too much hate.
Sometimes I need reminding, before it gets too late.
Just one moment in my day. Yeah
Take me up to a place, so far in your heavenly space.

[chorus]
One night (one night), mmm, one night in heaven. When you touch me,
you take me up high with the clouds in the sky.
One night (one night), woo-hoo, one night in heaven. When you kiss me,
you light up my life, make me feel so alive.

While people create problems, lie and cheat in vain,
come lay with me in my bed and wash away the pain.
Take me on a journey let the pleasure start.
Take me on a journey that leads straight to your heart.
Just one look I can see in your face, yeah
you're my love satellite, in orbit with you
such a beautiful place.

[chorus]

Just give me one night. Just give me one night. [x2]
Ooh I'm in heaven baby. (Oh I'm in heaven baby). [x2]

One...
One...



[chorus]

One night, Just one night
One...
One night. One Night, One Night, One Night Yeah-hee-heee-yeah.
One night. One Night, One Night, One Night Yeah-hee-heee-yeah.
One night, Woo-hoo, One Night in Heaven,
When You Kiss me,
You light up my life, make me feel so alive

"I'm Your Angel"



(Celine)
No mountain to high for you to climb
All you have to do, is have some kind in faith
No river is too wide to make it across
All you have to do, is believe when you pray

(R Kelly)
And then you will see the morning will come,
in everyday will be bright as the sun
Hold on to your fears, cast them on me
I just want you to see

(C&R)
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your Angel,
And all hope gone I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no different who you are
I am your Angel, I am your Angel

(R Kelly)
I saw your tear drops and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find
You have everything and your still lonely
It don't have to be this way
Let me show you a better day

(Celine)
Then you will see, the morning will come
And all of your day will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears just cast them on me
How can I make you see

(R)
And when it's time to faced the storm
(C)
I'll be right by your side
(R)
Grace will keep us safe and warm
I know we'll survive
(C)
And when it seems as if your end this growing year
Don't you dear give up the fight
Just put trust on the sky

Judas Priest- Metal Gods (K.K. Downing/Rob Halford/Glenn Tipton)

We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own

Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart

From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease

Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot's scythes

Metal Gods
Metal Gods

Metal Gods
Metal Gods

Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand

Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath

ONE VOICE

1999 and the stakes is high.
Our options have come down
to either we do or we die.
We need You now more than ever.
Pull out all of the strife in the church,
get us together.
Is time running out?
I can't say I do know.
We have one day less
than we did yesterday.
So it's up to us to unite,
You wanna fight the power?
You need the power to fight.

And can we sing with one voice,
if we all love the same God?
Can we agree to disagree?
And so we cry with one voice
to the only God in all the universe-
who holds us in His hands.

No more time
for us to bicker and complain,
If we're called by the same name,
there's nowhere for us to lay the blame,
except for ourselves.
And if we died to our old selves
we've come alive as God's flesh,
that makes us family.
Deeper than death,
but we don't act so tight
when there's a back to bite.
Are we less like a family, and
more like a fistfight?
Are we there, but not quite
are hypocrites children of light?

HALLELUJAH

As I was b-o-u-n-d bound,
by the name of J-e-s-u-s,
to v-i-c-t-o-r-y, I am f-r-double e,
you are mine, I call upon you,
because you look so very strong,
through C-h-r-i-s-t, through
Christ we are bound to win.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Yeah hallelujah, I am saved.
Through Christ we are bound to win.


IN BETWEEN

Please allow me to introduce me.
Half of me slave, the other half free.
Righteous and sinful,
both at the same time.
Iniquity and purity
fill up the same mind.
And out of the same mouth,
the holy and profane.
I curse all my brothers,
then I bless Christ's name.
I hang in the balance,
but still I'm secure.
I'm leaning towards evil,
but striving to be pure.

I stand between the saint and
sinner, chasing after holiness, close
enough to grasp, but still it's just
beyond my reach.

Who I am is in between,
what I wanna be and what I am.
Pulling from both sides,
humility and pride.
One seeks to give,
the other to be gratified.
In any case, however,
I know I'm in need.
Two appetites in me,
which one do I feed?
Running fast as I can
after elusive perfection.
No I'm not there yet,
but sure I'm in the right direction.
Cuz I see me at the end
and I look glorified.
Justified safe inside,
so I seek to be sanctified.


AWAY FROM YOU

Say, you got a minute friend?
Because I'd like to tell you something.
You may think nothing of it,
but wait...you're gonna love it.
What if I told you I held
the one true philosophy?
Would you hear me out
or just turn your back
and laugh at me?
Lord, I just don't understand
this strange creature You call man.
Who thinks he lives by his own
hand, but I know.

There's no life away from You.

So I will remain still and silent,
for fear of the words I might say.
And am I still in my defiance,
when I'm trying so hard to obey?


DEDICATION

Side by side,
driving the same highway.
Leaving behind everything
and everyone you love.
The cost to pay,
to tell the world of Jesus.
Hoping that these bridges burned
will not be just in vain.

It helps to think that somewhere
you're feeling just the same.
And don't take even
a moment for granted.
Don't lose heart
when the world crashes down.

How many miles ahead?
I can't count the ones behind.
To all the friends that we've collected,
all the people we respect.
For the hope and joy.
We made this up and wrote it down
and dedicate this song to you.

No turning back,
and can't say that I regret it.
When every day,
God's promises testify themselves.
Sometimes it's hard,
and the road keeps stretching longer.
Tonight my wife's a longing voice
on a Holiday Inn phone.

How many miles ahead?
I can't count the ones behind.
I wish you God's speed, friend.
You're always on my mind.
Will you remember me, say,
seven years from now?
And where will we be then?
Well, I'm here for you now.

Whitesnake- Here I Go Again (David Coverdale/Bernie Marsden)

I Don’t know where I’m going
But, I sure know where I’ve been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho’ I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I’m looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
’cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An’ here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An’ I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time

I’m just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love’s sweet charity
An’ I’m gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
’cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An’ here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An’ I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time

An’ here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
’cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An’ here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An’ I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...

* in the 1987 version this word is changed to drifter.
David Coverdale's management thought that 'hobo' could be confused with 'homo'!

Not surprising if you've ever seen any pictures of Whitesnake.
