Fairyhouse Racecourse is one of Ireland's premier horse racing venues. Situated in the parish of Ratoath in County Meath, on the R155 regional road, 3 km off the N3. It is the home of the Irish Grand National. The first race meet was held in 1848. In 1870, the first Irish Grand National steeplechase was held there.
The racetrack itself is a one mile and 6.5 furlong right-handed circuit, with a 2.5 furlong straight and a slight uphill finish. The main business of Fairyhouse racecourse is betting on the races known traditionally in parts of Ireland as turf accountancy. Admission to Fairyhouse race meetings is free to under-16s along with various other promotions such as concession rates for OAPs and seasonal festivals (i.e. Winter Festival, Easter Festival etc.) It also hosted the first three Witnness festivals from 2000 to 2002 inclusive.
Fairyhouse is the premier horse race meeting hosting both the Irish Grand National and Irish Gold Cup but has always been a fine quality racecourse attracting international racing stars such as Desert Orchid, Prince Regent, and Persian War among others. The course was the training ground for l'Escargot, a winner of the Irish Grand National against famous racer Red Rum to name but a few racing achievements. The Powers Gold Label Stand and Jameson stand were reopened following refurbishment in 1999 and Fairyhouse is boasted by Meath Tourism to be "firmly established as one of the most modern facilities in the country, providing an outstanding level of comfort and service." The Irish Grand National is run every Easter Monday and currently sponsored by Jameson Whiskey.
One man is black, one man is white
One works by the light of the day and the other one works at night
They both live so differently but they are so much alike
They both want the very same thing just to have a better way of life
You know you can't take sides 'cause no one's wrong or right
So don't make up you mind take another look before you decide
Chorus:
'Cause there are two sides to every story
Two different ways of looking at exactly the same thing
Two sides to every story
So don't make up your mind 'til ya hear the story from me
One nation's weak, one nation's strong
Two people side by side but they just can't get along
All war's too big ya know, no war's too small
One wants just a little piece and the other one wants it all
You know you can't take sides 'cause no one's wrong or right
So don't make up you mind take another look before you decide
Chorus
Don't make up you mind there are two sides you'll see
Oh so let me tell it to you straight you gotta open up your eyes
You'll see perspective's everything and you just might change your mind
Chorus
Well I really admire your political views
You personal philosophy reflects your high I.Q.
And I am impressed by the way you think everything through
Baby you're so smart I know that I could really learn a lot from you
Well you've got quite a brain but I've got half a mind
To show you what I want to do to you
With all respect your intellect takes a back seat this time
It's the physical attraction that turns me on
Chorus:
There's just somethin' 'bout you body
That makes me want you all the time
Oo I want your body but all I get from you is
A piece of your mind (there's just somethin' 'bout your body)
And your body talk don't take no genius to see
The intelligent approach is gonna be most likely to succeed
I'm thinkin' about you, do you think about me
I really feel I could fulfill your full mental capacity
Well you've got quite a brain but I've got half a mind
To show you what I want to do to you
With all respect your intellect takes a back seat this time
It's the physical attraction that turns me on
Chorus
Somethin' 'bout your body
Body talk
Well you've got quite a brain but I've got half a mind
To show you what I want to do to you
With all respect your intellect takes a back seat this time
It's the physical attraction that turns me on
Chorus
with the message comes pain
with the dreams come sadness
with the emptiness comes reality
staring me in the eye
with the contact comes questions
with the love comes pain
with confusion comes the hate
clear as a bell
with the ti
me comes the answer
with the knowledge comes the end
with the conclusion comes the sanity
(just a little bit too late)
Here I am
At 6 a clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It's still hard
At 6 a clock in the morning
To sleep without you
And I know that it might
Seem to late for love
All I know
[chorus]
I need you now
More than words can say
I need you now
I've got to find a way
I need you now
Before I lose my mind
I need you now
Here I am
Im looking out my window
Im dreaming about you
Cant let go
At 6 a clock in the morning
I feel you beside me
And i know that it might
Seem to late for love
For love

I need you now

Before I lose my mind
I need you now
More than words can say
I need you now
I got to here you say
I need you now
Before I lose my mind
I need you now
I need you now

(I've Got You) Under My Skin
I have got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin.
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair, it never will gone go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby, I know so well
That I've got you under my skin.
Chorus
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of holding you near,
In spite of a warning voice comes in the night
And repeats, And shaky’s in my ear
Don't you know you blue eyes, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin,
Because I've got you under my skin.

Chorus
Sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near,
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, And shaky’s in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
And each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin,
Cause I've got you under my skin.
And I Love you under my skin.
When I See You Smile- Bad English
Sometimes I wonder
how I'd ever make it through,
through this world without having you.
I just wouldn't have a clue.
'Cause sometimes it seems
like this world is closing in on me,
and there's no way of breaking free, and
then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I want to give up,
wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight,
and then I see you baby,
and everything's alright.
Everything's alright
(Chorus)
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
See a ray of light
Oh see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me.
Oh yeah
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
what the touch of your hand can do
it's like nothing
that I ever knew.
And when the rain is falling I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now I want to answer
baby It's all I'll ever need.
It's all I'll ever need
(Chorus)
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me.
Sometimes I want to give up,
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight,
then one look at you baby,
and everything's alright.
Hey Everything's alright so right
(Chorus)
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything yeah
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining right through the rain Yeah
When I see you smile
Yeah I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything now
When I see you smile, oh yeah baby
When I see you smile
Smile at me
I've lost my faith in everything
I couldn't believe in anything
Until I put my faith in you
Is it a sin is it a crime
To worship somebody all of the time
Anytime, I would do anything for you
I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you
Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion
I wasn't looking for a miracle
Didn't think that love was possible
But your love has made me whole
And I pray that this will never end
You are my lover, my best friend
You took me in and saved my soul
I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you
Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion
Forgive me for the things that I have done
In the name of the Father and the Son
Can you remember from way back when
It was the summer that we became best friends?
And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart
Now we used to hang out behind the old motel
We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell
We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught
But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet
We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes
And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
Though time slips by, the memories remain
I could never forget when the nights were young
Back then they said that we were way too young
But we were old enough to have some fun
And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears
Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store
We couldn't go inside for a couple years more
So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers
We didn't have a care or a worry back then
We could count on each other through thick and thin
Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
Though time slips by, the memories remain
I could never forget when the nights were young
The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together
But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember
Though time slips by, the memories remain
Up against the wall and spread baby
Ha, ha, ha
It's time to pull over and put 'em all down
Aaoo
Ooh, the lady in red, well she's drivin' me mad
Her very first offense was just lookin' at me
But that second glance was a felony
Ooh, the lady's so fine, but I think it's a crime
She's just too much for a man like me
They'd better lock her away and throw out the key
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
(Oughta be a law)
Against the things you do
(Oughta be a law)
For breakin' hearts in two
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
Against a girl like you, Baby
Ooh, the lady is cruel and she's breakin' the rules
If only looks could kill, she'd be killin' me
Guilty, murder one in the first degree
Ooh, the lady's unkind, she's got me doin' time
She's just too much for a man like me
They'd better lock her away and throw out the key
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
(Oughta be a law)
Against the things you do
(Oughta be a law)
For breakin' hearts in two
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
Against a girl like you, Baby
Uhh ahh
Ha, ha, ha
You know, I'm gonna take you downtown
Strip you down and throw you in the slammer, baby
I'm gonna throw the book at you, girl
Stick 'em up
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
(Oughta be a law)
Against the things you do
(Oughta be a law)
For breakin' hearts in two
(There oughta be a law against )
Yea, yea
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you
(Oughta be a law)
Against the things you do
(Oughta be a law)
For breakin' hearts in two
(There oughta be a law)
Oh yea
(There oughta be a law)
Against a girl like you

Against the things you do
(Oughta be a law)
Broke my heart in two
(There oughta be a law)
(There oughta be a law)
Oughta be a law
Oey, oey
Woh, alright
She drives me crazy, ha
She drives me wild
But when she tries to
Satisfy me when I'm drivin'
We need to stop somewhere for a while
Ow, I'm gettin' ready
I feel the need for speed
Can't slow down
Till she gives me what I need
I know just the place that we can go
(We can go)
Hop in the back, we can be all alone
(All alone)
Lock the doors and hold on tight
(Hold on tight)
We're gonna have a good time tonight
We're going down, down, down to lover's lane
That's where she drives, drives, drives me insane
I'll take her down to, down to lover's lane
We're going down, down, down to lover's lane
Oh yea
My motor's runnin'
Yea, it's gettin' hot
I get overloaded
Overheated, could explode
I can't believe it
We just gotta stop
I know just the place that we can go
(We can go)
Hop in the back, we can be all alone
(All alone)
Lock the doors and hold on tight
(Hold on tight)
We're gonna have a good time tonight
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
That's where she drives, drives, drives me insane
I'll take her down to, down to lovers lane
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
Oh, yea
Hu, hu
Lovers lane
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
That's where she drives, drives, drives me insane
I'll take her down to, down to lovers lane
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
C'mon boys, one more time
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
That's where she drives, drives, drives me insane
I'll take her down to, down to lovers lane
We're going down, down, down to lovers lane
Oh, yea
Seems I just can't do enough
I could never win your love
Why should I try when you never share your feelings?
How could I be so naive?
Is it so hard to believe
That you excel in emotional concealing?
No matter what I do, I never measure up for you
But you just keep that smile on your face
No matter how much I try, you're never really satisfied
Until you run away and hide
In your perfect world
Where there's no one to blame
No one can hurt your feelings
And you don't feel no pain
Everybody loves you and nobody gets burned
As long as you are living in your perfect world
It seems like everyone gets screened
On your answering machine
Can't take the call and let down your defenses
Can't let anybody see your real personality
Is it pride, or just your false pretenses?
Maybe a part of you has died because you keep it all inside
But still you wear that smile on your face
It seems no matter what I do,
I just can't get through to you
But I always know where to find you
In your perfect world
Where nothing can go wrong
You're always in control
And we all get along
Everything is beautiful
No need for concern
As long as you are living in your perfect world
Maybe a part of you has died
Because you keep it all inside
Is it hard to keep that smile on your face?
It seems no matter what I do,
I just can't get through to you
But I always know where to find you
In your perfect world
Where there's no one to blame
No one can hurt your feelings
And you don't feel no pain
Everybody loves you and nobody gets burned
As long as you are living
In your perfect world
Where nothing can go wrong
You're always in control
And we all get along
Everything is beautiful
No need for concern
So you think you've got it all figured out
Well you know you can't make it alone
Everybody needs somebody to help them out
And you know I could be that someone
And if you ever get lost on life's highway, don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
I am here for you, oh always here for you
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on, I am here for you
So you think that love is long overdue
Tired of looking for someone to care
Let me tell you now the choice is up to you
But you know I will always be there
I am here for you, oh always here for you
When you're needing someone to hold you
Remember I told you I am here for you
I am here for you, yeah
So now you've got it all figured out
And you know you've found someone that cares
And if you ever need somebody to help you out
Well you know I will always be there
And if you ever get lost on life's highway, don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
I am here for you, oh always here for you
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on, I am here for you
Oh always here for you
When you’re needing someone to hold you
Remember I told you I am here for you
I'm helpless
I don't understand
How I lost command of this entire situation
I do as I am told, when you take control
I'm giving in to the temptation
I've lost control, I don't know what to do
I'd sell my soul if I could stay with you
Can't get enough without your love
(I'm helpless)
I need so much without your touch
(I'm helpless)
I want you so, don't let me go
(I'm helpless)
Gotta have you, without you
(I'm helpless)
Don't turn your back on me, how can I make you see?
I'm something that you should not ignore
You are my inspiration, my final destination
I could give you so much more
I've lost control, I don't know what to do
Oh I'd sell my soul if I could stay with you, yea
Can't get enough without your love
(I'm helpless)
I need so much without your touch
(I'm helpless)
I want you so, don't let me go
(I'm helpless)
Gotta have you, without you
(I'm helpless)
Ooo, you're rippin' my heart in two
I've got to have you here with me
Oh, there's nothin' that I can do
I'm helpless without you, can't you see?
Can't get enough without your love
(I'm helpless)
Ohh, I need so much without your touch
(I'm helpless)
Ohh, I want you so, don't let me go
(I'm helpless)
Yea, I just can't get enough without your love
(I'm helpless)
I need so much without your touch
(I'm helpless)
Ooh, yea
(I'm helpless)
Helpless
There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here any more
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see and I realise it wasn't always right
I’ll take the good and leave the bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here any more
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
With all the tears I cried I should have drowned out all the pain
I’ll never go back, never cry, I’ve got too much to gain
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
You won't be here tomorrow
We're clueless, and we got all the answers
We're brilliant, we got no cure for cancer
Don't stay out in the sun too long
Don't you dare eat meat, don't do nothing wrong
Did you see the news, can we breath today?
They say the rain is on the way
Yeah, it's going through my brain it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
These tears are acid rain
We're useless, we'll live to be a hundred
We're genius, you know our days are numbered
I laid out in the sun all day, ate a chili dog
Got it all the way, I didn't watch the news
Don't care what they say
They say more rain is on the way
Yeah, it's going through my brain it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
These tears are acid rain
Save me the sky is scaring me
Save me I can hardly breathe
Yeah, it's going through my brain it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
These tears are acid rain
Yeah it's going through my brain, it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned
Hey, it's driving me insane, it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
Like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
It's driving me insane
from the hand of a government man

the future holds a mystery
we talk but don't know
we hope but can't tell
we share but not all
the mystery holds fast
the future: scary
it eludes us though we try to find meaning everywhere
we want to make plans
but to make another mista
so difficult we care enough to try
so crazy
so we sit and wonder...
a political contribution
like the weeds in a garden
eyesore for the future
can you take my pardon?
savage or a saint?
automation has trances
in my working state
think I got a chance
I've been on my knees
better get on your knees
your knees your knees your knees get down on your knees
you better get down on your knees
locked-in to a dream
step by step
crawling but static
unchanged
unchanged
locked into emotion
finely tuned
aching to escape
harmful, harmless
unfounded
unfounded
locked-in to this world
sinking in
deeper, colder
stiff with reality
unclouded
unclouded
locked-in to the end
hoping to find
a dream, emotion, world
tied together
unending
unending
in the final moment
in the final moment
in the final moment in the final moment
Brother please don't turn your back on me
I was once just like you but I've fallen through the cracks of society
Why can't anyone just lend a hand
Doesn't anybody care, doesn't someone understand
We should be ashamed because we lay the blame
Not on ourselves but on this day and age
Chorus:
What's wrong with everybody
Why can't anybody get along
Well I think we've got a problem
We've got to help each other out or we'll never figure out
What's wrong with everybody
Five o'clock another traffic jam
All lanes merge to one and it seems like no one gives a damn
Why can't we just let each other in
But we cut each other off and we just keep on driving
We should be ashamed because we lay the blame
Not on ourselves but on this day and age
Chorus
Why can't everyone just live in peace
Well we've got to pull together and put an end to this insanity
Why can't everyone just lend a hand
Doesn't anybody care, doesn't someone give a damn
Chorus
how to say it
when it don't come
I'm not tryin' to be vague
but silent anyway
confusion
with a smile and a sigh
I'm glad for a friend though they really know it matters
(it matters)
if it don't come
and the tears still do
if the smiles not there
they could turn away
if no love shows
there might be none received
always need help but never do enough for anyone
I can't do enough never strong enough for myself
it should work but
mistakes take over
bad o
utweighs good
hardly believin' it
never acceptin' it
so disappointed
and glad for a friend though they really know it matters
this is my key
and I have seen
this is my cup
an eye on the land
this is my house
by the river
and a lonesome pine
sighs resign
this is my land
and no one will stand
this is my hand
without reserve
this is display
t mighty high
a way to learn
and a way to feel
Turn up the jukebox
We're gonna tear this damn place down
Lookin' for action
Yeah, wherever it can be found
I ain't no Johnny-come-lately
I'm Johnny-on-the-spot
I don't need no lady
I need a woman that gets me hot
Too naughty to be nice, too bad to be good
I'm all shook up, b-b-b-baby I don't know what to do
Got that rhythm and it makes me lose control
When we...
Chorus:
Shake and tumble
Shake and tumble down with me baby
Shake and tumble down
I need a woman that can make me
Shake and tumble down (aw yeah)
Body slammin'
Gotcha on the floor
D-down and dirty
Is what I'm lookin' for
Got that rhythm and it makes me lose control
When we...
Chorus
Shake Me!
Whoa Yeah
Chorus:
Shake and Tumble (baby take me, baby shake me)
Shake and Tumble down with me baby
Come on Shake and Tumble Down
Shake and Tumble make me shake and tumble down
Final Chorus:
Come on and Shake and Tumble(ow ow ow)
Shake and Tumble (Down, down, down, down)
Shake and Tumble (Down)
I need a woman that can make me shake and tumble down (oh yeah..Huh)
the night
my compadre Raymond
we were jumping fences
jumping for freedom
Ray says, "Hey Watt
stop here a second."
I said, "Hear her
out in New Haven?"
and then at the gig
I sat and I watched them
a drum and a sax
both of th
em talking
how very important
two dudes talking
but everything ain't just
two dudes talking
my place in a time
is a big nada-history
but my place with you
is shown symbolically
enough today
too long silent
please send a feeling
think me a thought
gone too far again
to no surprise (no surprise of mine)
direct stellar contact
wait for dark (waiting for dark)
hear me! hear me!
I sometimes know
t felt so near
don't close sad eyes
choose any memory
gone too far again
to no surprise (no surprise of mine)
direct stellar contact
wait for dark (waiting for dark)
hear me! hear me! hear me! hear me!
I'm the paint on the road
the weight of your load
with the cracked glass ground
fuck it!
an itch in your brain
in the drain shootin' rain
I'm the flame from the train
I've been smeltin' rail
flood from the fire
a hot tub cool
mire
ticket to fly her? NO
then blaze chemical wire
blazin' chemical wire
burn the church from the spire
you fuckin' pay for desire
fire turns your wire
this torch is for hire
turn an ice man a cryer
make your bed a big briar
thorns of chemical wire
you'll be the tread on the tire
sulphur in a deep fryer
grinding on till you're tired
when you'll break down beside her
a forged silhouette
on concrete
and there lands the template
a man
his church
a mind
and its state
made just for battle

I'm like a loaded gun I got you in my sight
And you're the only one I want to shoot tonight
Ready an' able the trigger to fire
Locked on target for my desire
Got you covered and there's nothin' that you can do
But say
Hold your fire

I'm speedin' like a bullet never miss my mark
With infrared eyes that can see in the dark
Actions semi automatic satisfaction the instant I hit

Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Don't make me fire
Hold your fire
Only desire
Hold your fire
Your desire
When you’re lost and lonely
And you feel you can’t go on
In the blink of an eye you can throw it all away
Well you can turn your world around
Show the power you can do
Just believe and trust your heart to see you through
Your dreams are real
You can feel them comb your hand
So hang on til tomorrow
Never look back again
Hold the dream
Don’t ever let it go
Hold the dream
Don’t ever let it get you down
When they tear the back of you
Just do what feels right for you
You can find what you’re looking for
Don’t get lost along the way
Always be strong, your heart can’t be wrong
Don’t give up and your dreams will come true
Your dreams are real
You can feel them comb your hand
So hang on til tomorrow
Never look back again
Hold the dream
Don’t ever let it go

Hang on til tomorrow

Adam looked at eve she said that apple's lookin' sweet
The serpent slithered up and said c'mon let's eat
They knew that they were told to resist the tree with love
Afraid to tell the truth and now their garden's gone so
Just like anybody, the devil got me too
And now there's nothing I can do
Chorus:
Because temptation is comin' onto me, temptation
I'm just too blind to see your sweet temptation
Knockin' at my door, temptation I just got to get some more
The neighbor's wife is pretty and she wants a truth or dare
She justifies adultery as a meaningless affair
Later on that evening, lord she can't believe her eyes
Her old man's cheatin' lover's in a black book of disguise
Just like everybody I got a black book too
Now there's nothing I can do
Chorus
The sexy secretary has a twinkle in her eye
She sees a million dollars as the CEO walks by
Business mixed with pleasure and the lawyers will prevail
While the plaintiff and defendant are both going straight to hell
All because a little bit of
Chorus
Tell me why things ain't like
They used to be before
I don't know why you hurt me
But I still come back for more
Baby I don't know how much more
My heart can take
And I don't know how much longer
I can stay
They say you don't know what you've got
Sometimes until it's gone
(I said) baby don't wait that long
Oh don't take our love for granted
'Cause you might wind up with
Chorus
No one at all, no one at all
Baby you know how romance
Is you don't get no second chances
And you might wind up with no one at all
Baby you better look both ways
Before you cross my heart
I'm tellin' you it's your little games
That are tearin' us apart
Baby you never find the words
I need to hear you say
And I don't know how much longer
I can stay
So don't take our love for granted
'cause you might wind up with
Chorus
Oh Yeah...
They say you don't know what you've got
Sometimes until it's gone
(I said) baby don't wait that long
Oh don't take our love for granted
'Cause you might wind up with
Oh Yeah...
Chorus
You take your chances with modern romances
Remember everything that you've learned
If you give into desire you're playing with fire
And you could be so easily burned
If you want to be a lover you'd better take cover
It's too late to forgive if you forget
When you roll the dice you'd better think twice
'Cause what you see ain't always what you get
Chorus:
You take the risk right from the start
'Cause love is a dangerous thing
It's like a loaded gun pointed straight at your heart
Love is a dangerous thing
If your first reaction is for satisfaction
Don't forget that you've got plenty of time
Before you give into it you'd better think trough it
Remember it's your life on the line
If you're lookin' for a lover you'd better take cover
It's too late to forgive if you forget
When you roll the dice you'd better think twice
'Cause what you see ain't always what you get
Chorus
Gotta get love, god I need love, gotta have it
Lookin' for love, want it but I'd better not
Give into your love, 'cause it's a dangerous thing
Gotta get love, god I need love, gotta have it
Lookin' for love, want it but I'd better not
Give into your love, 'cause love is a dangerous thing
Chorus
Well I woke up this morning, pulled myself out of bed
I wish that I could sleep the day away
Just a day like any other, same old thing, over and over
I'm overworked and underpaid (and it's killing me)
Not even breakin' even, work my fingers to the bone
Barely gettin' by, keeps gettin' harder
I'm slaving on the grindstone and I get no breaks at all
Just trying to keep my head above the water
Can't make ends meet, can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life working overtime
Chorus:
Tryin' to make a livin', gotta pay the rent
(just) tryin' to make a livin', wonder where my money went
Never seem to get ahead, it's getting' easier to see
(just) tryin' to make a livin' and it's killing me
Times are getting tough seems I never make enough
Just doing what I can to stay alive
And I'd like to take a day off but I can't afford a layoff
Gotta keep this damn job to survive
Can't make ends meet I can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life working overtime
Chorus
Well I'm sick and tired and I am totally wired
Why don't they just leave me alone
Just 'cause the length of my hair and the clothes that I wear
And the things that I do don't conform
Everyone's got an opinion but I don't need no advice
Seems they're mindin' everybody's business but their own
Well I do things my own way and I ain't afraid to say
Chorus:
Get a life
I've got better things to do than to mess around with you
Go out and get your own life
Get a life
I'm always walking the line when I ain't done no crime
I get hassled for no reason at all
See I've got my own plan tryin' to be my own man
Still they don't understand what went wrong
Everyone's got an opinion but I don't need no advice
Seems they're mindin' everybody's business but their own
Well I do things my own way and I ain't afraid to say
Chorus
So here's a word to the wise, you've gotta realize
You're no better than anyone else
Before you criticize you'd better open you eyes
And take a good look at yourself
Chorus
Get a life
You've picked the wrong one to harass why don't
You stick it up your ass, go out and get your own life

I know the storm is coming
There are clouds up ahead
You can't keep running
You better face the clouds instead
When the storm winds blow
Don't you cover and hide
You've got to let go of the demons
You're keeping inside
There's no shelter from your pain
So get ready for the rain
Get ready for the rain
Now you can't change the weather
Though you've tried to for years
But the rain is coming
And there's no way to hold back the tears
Too late to say you're sorry
You'll have to take the blame
But the water is rising
And it won't wash your problems away
There's no shelter from your pain
So get ready for the rain
Get ready for the rain
So get ready for the rain
Looking for direction
Got nowhere to place my loyalties
I've stumbled and I've fallen
My life is breaking me down like some disease
I'm lost in the darkness
Can't find the light, I can't see anymore
I'm crying, I'm waiting
I'm asking is there something more?
Have mercy, have mercy
In the name of God have mercy
Please help me, please help me
In the name of God have mercy
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know, I don't know
Forgive me, I know not what I do
Looking for the answer
I've been asking the question I'm on my knees
Show me, help me
In the name of God I'm begging please
Have mercy, have mercy
In the name of God have mercy
Please help me, please help me
In the name of God have mercy
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know, I don't know
Forgive me, I know not what I do
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know, I don't know
It's been a long time since I saw you
Been so long since I touched your face
You know there's nothing I can do
That will help to get me through
'Cause I know you wont be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
You used to be there every morning
You had that smile upon your face
But now that smile is turned around
And my world is upside down
'Cause I know you won't be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
I know I'll miss you
But you will never hurt again
I know you're happy
But now I feel such emptiness inside
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here anymore
Chorus:
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I'll get by without you now so leave me alone
You won't be there tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see I realized I wasn't always right
I'll take the good and leave the bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here anymore
Bridge:
With all the tears I cried I should have drowned out all the pain
I'll never go back, never cry, I've got too much to gain
Solo
Chorus
You know you're everything to me and I could never seeThe two of us apartAnd you know I give myself to you and no matter what you doI promise you my heart
I've built my world around you and I want you to knowI need you like I've never needed anyone before
I live my life for youI wanna be by your side in everything that you doAnd if there's only one thing you can believe is trueI live my life for you
I dedicate my life to you, you know that I would die for youBut our love would last foreverAnd I will always be with you and there is nothing we can't doAs long as we're together
I just can't live without you and I want you to knowI need you like I've never needed anyone before
I live my life for youI wanna be by your side in everything that you doAnd if there's only one thing you can believe is trueI live my life for you
Oh, I've built my world around you and I want you to knowI need you like I've never needed anyone before
I bet I've seen that face
A hundred times or more
Then you shed a tear
What do you want from me
Is it something I can give
Just let me know
Then you walk in my arms and say
I need you more today
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
Sometimes I'm so afraid
There’s nothing I can do
You're always on my mind
You know my hands were tied
Don’t you know how hard I tried
To never let you go
Then you walked in my arms and said goodbye
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
Down on my knees I pray for you every day
I've been alone since you’ve been away
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of time sweet as honey
I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share
With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime
With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) we know that we will be together because our love is strong
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Here I am at 6 o’clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It's still hard at 6 o’clock in the morning
To sleep without you
And I know that it might seem too late for love
All I know
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now
Here I am, I’m looking out my window
I’m dreaming about you
Can’t let go at 6 o’clock in the morning
I feel you beside me
And I know that it might seem too late for love
For love, oh, oh
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I’ve gotta hear you say
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now
Oh, yeah
You're headed for the spotlight, I know you can go far
You can do anything, just follow your heart
Just set the wheels in motion, hold tight and stake your claim
Make sure that they will all remember your name
Can't you feel it comin' on?
Just let go
Can't you see that
You're about to steal the show?
Oh, you're the overnight sensation
You can be a star
Overnight sensation
No matter who you are
The stage is ready for you, can't wait another day
There is no limit, you can take it all the way
Just take your chance forever and make your dreams come true
You know it's now or never, it's up to you
Can't you feel it comin' on?
Just let go
Can't you see that
You're about to steal the show?
Oh, you're the overnight sensation
You can be a star
Overnight sensation
No matter who you are
Oh, the overnight sensation
You can be a star
Overnight sensation
No matter who you are
You're the overnight sensation
You can be a star
Overnight sensation
No matter who you are
You're the overnight sensation
You can be a star
Overnight sensation
No matter who you are
Firehouse - When I Look Into Your Eyes lyrics
I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise 'till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die
So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you
Chorus:
When I look into you eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you, we will never say goodbye You can't stop this feeling and there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything, when I look at you
Chorus
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
We will always be together, and our love will never die
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
silence to regain composure
or rather, music to soothe
maybe a little magic could help
things could turn around
freeze this mood for now
hold tight till it thaws
wetness pulled out of me
so I cry less easily
a hasty decision
rdly used
jokingly punished
icy fingers touch warmth
trickles to the floor
wetness pulled out of me
so I'll cry less easily
wetness pulled out of me
so I'll cry less easily
wetness pulled out of me
so I'll cry less easily
