Philadelphia lyrics

Philadelphia lyrics
Raindrops falling softly
As I walk on down the road
Neon lights flicker
Reflecting on my leather coat
A black guy passes me by
He's looking kind'a high
When I'm reaching for a smile
I see that strange look in his eye
Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain.
You're out there in Compton, baby
Do you still remember my name?
I couldn't hear what he said
But I suddenly realised
Thousands thoughts go through my head
While his steps they follow mine
A woman must be crazy
To be out this time at night
Unless she's looking for some business
Unless she's feeling real uptight
Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain. (x 2)
You're out there in Compton, baby
Do you still remember my name?
Here I'm standing at the station
Waiting for my train to come
When that dude gave me a look
Made me wonder what I'd done
A woman must be crazy
To be out this time at night
Unless she's looking for some trouble
Unless she's out of her mind
Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain. (x 2)
You're out there in Compton, baby
Do you still remember my name?
Do you baby?
Do you remember?
Do you baby?
Do you remember?
Remember my name?

Vaya Con Dios - Johnny
Album: Vaya Con Dios (1998)


Johnny, tu n´es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que ca me dérange
Jour et nuit je pense à toi
Toi tu te souviens de moi
Au moment où ca t´arrange
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t´endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n´es pas un ange

Johnny, Johnny
Si tu étais plus galant
Johnny, Johnny
Je t´aimerais tout autant

Johnny, tu n´es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que ca me dérange
Quand tu me réveilles la nuit
C´est pour dire que tu t´ennuies
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t´endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n´es pas un ange

Johnny, Johnny
Si tu étais plus galant
Johnny, Johnny
Je t´aimerais tout autant

Johnny, tu n´es pas un ange
Après tout qu´est-ce que ca change
L´Homme saura toujours trouver
Toutes les femmes du monde entier
Pour lui chanter ses louanges
Dés qu´il en sera lassé
Elles seront vite oubliées
Vraiment vous n´etes pas des anges

Johnny, Johnny
Depuis que le monde est né
Johnny, Johnny
Il faut tous vous pardonner

Heading For A Fall

A turn of the key
And the door is pushed open, now
He walks into the roon
But doesn't take off his coat
Kisses me softly
Without saying a word, now
There's that look in his eys
That makes me feek the cold

When I try to find out
'Bout what's troubling his mind
He turns away and sights
And says: 'give me some time"
Maybe things will get better
If I learn to be patient
What I wanted was love not an imitation

And I know it
We're heading for a fall
(for a fall
We're heading for a fall)

We lie between sheets
And he stares at the ceiling now
Me, I'm trying to sleep
But I'm trembling inside
If she is haunting his dreams
Then why don't he say it now?
Why stay if it's her that he wants in the end?

If he tried to explain I'd try to understand
Maybe I'd feel the same
I'm not sure of myself
We surrendered so soon
In the arms of temptation, now
What I wanted was love not an imitation

And I know it
We're heading for a fall
(for a fall
We're heading for a fall)

Farewell song

Don't go looking for him lady
Don't go lookinng for him now
He'll be sailing 'cross the ocean
By the time you turn around
All he carries is his pride,
he has nothing to his name
What he's leaving you behind,
is the burdon ofthe blame
Don't go looking for him lady
He's far gone now
Don't go looking for him lady
Don't go looking for him now
He's somewhere across the border
In some lonely, little town
A tatoo on his arm
is all that will remain
Of a lady with no heart
playing stupid little games
Don't go looking for him lady
He's far gone now
And now you're gazing at the moon
Humming melancholic lines
Burning candles in your room
As if to see the light
Don't go looking for him lady
Don't go looking for him now
He'll be over the horizon
By the time you come around
You can stare out at the sky,
building castles in the air
He won't be coming back this time,
there'll be no answer to your prayers
Don't go looking for him lady
He's far gone now
And now you're gazing at the moon
Humming melancholic lines
Burning candles in your room
As if to see the light
Don't go looking for him lady
Don't go looking for him now
There's no need to be sorry for yourself,
it don't matter anyhow
Don't go looking for him lady
He's far gone now
Don't go looking for him kady
He's far gone now

Something's Got A Hold On Me

I sold my soul to the devil
The first time you kissed me
I mistook hell for heaven
The first time I let you touch me
Now I'm just a litte toy in your hands
Like many before me
Feels like I'm walking on a rope of sand
Somebody save me
I even cancel all my secret rendez-vous
To sit alone by the phone
Waiting to hear from you
My friends don't call me no more
Say I'm no fun
Ignore me when I'm round
Talk about me when I'me gone
I don't know what's gonna happen
To my poor soul, Lord help me
Mama, your little girl is crying
Night and day, do something for me
If you can

Time Flies

No dimes in your pocket
No bills in your wallet
No cash in the bank
Ain't no good at all
Honey you're not wise
You don't realise
People talk you know
Guess what I've been told
When you come home late
That beat look on your face
Don't tell me it's because
You're working night and day
I'm not blind
I got eyes you see
You're a mean moonshiner
You've been seen down at Joe's
Spending all of my dough
Splashing bourbon and rye
Playing randy and dandy, the game stakes are high
Honey you're a lie
Just a no good guy
Phoney Romeo
In a late late show
When I took you home
To mama she said
This guy looks like
He's got a hole in his head
Lord protect us from evil she cried
He's a mean moonshiner
Honey don't you grieve
When I take my leave
I ain't gonna cry
For my last goodbye
I'm gonna take that door
Don't care what you say
You never did say much anyway
I care no longer
For the company
Of a mean moonshiner

Muddy Waters

She thinks she knows you
She thinks she owns you
She wants everything to be
The way she told you
Of course she loves you
Worries about you
She'll smother you 'till you're chokin'
Tell me, don't you
Say Mama, tell me why
Has pleasure got to rhyme with sacrifice?
You had your ways
I have mine
Your little girls a woman
Don't you realize?
Of course she loves you
She adores you
She'll smother you 'till you're chokin'
Tell me, don't you?
She'll try to cage you
She'll enrage you
Walking 'round your life
Deciding for you
Sometimes she'll praise you
Sometimes she'll scorn you
Her dreams from yesterday
Could have destroyed you
Now Mama, tell me why?
Has pleasure got to rhyme with sacrifice?
You had your days
I have mine
Your little girl's a woman now ...
For quite some time

The Moonshiner

What are you gonna do,
when the sunny days are over?
Who will you be turning to,
when the sunny days are over?
(Will you find somebosy new?)
Will your friends still buy the rounds
When the winds of fame have let you down?
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
What are you gonna do,
when the sunny days are over?
Who will you be talking to,
when the sunny days are over?
(Who will want to talk to you?)
When the news is hitting town
Will the pretty girls still come around?
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it take you long to remember me?
Will it take me leaving to make you see
That it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it break you heart eternally?
I'll ne hurting for no one you see
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it take you long, too long for me
I'll be hurting for no one you see
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
What are you gonna do,
when the sunny days are over
You might have to face the truth,
when the sunny days are over
(You might have to face the truth)
When your feet have touched the ground
Will you find you journey's homeward bound?
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it take you long to remember me?
Will it take me leaving to make you see
That it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it break your heart eternally?
'Cos I'll be hurting for no one you see
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)
Will it take you long, too long for me
'Cos I'll be longing for no one you see
When it's over
(Sunny days are over)

Lord Help Me Please

I'd hoped you were sorry
For things that you've said
But now disillusion's
All I feel instead
Your head is a mess
And you scream and you shout
'Cos you were born jealous
Forever in doubt
Chorus:
Listen,
Listen to what I've got to say
Why don't you listen
Try to see things my way
Now, listen
why believe I'd deceive you with someone elase
Why don't you listen?
listen
listen
listen
Now, I justify and explain
My deeds all day long
But all you can hear are those voices say
I done you wrong
You want to keep me in chains
But I was born free
And I ain't gonna change
Chorus

Sally

Hush now little Sally
Baby, close your eyes
Sweet dreams honey
Don't you worry tonight
He's yearning for the city
Be gone for a while
He won't be back until the morning
It's gonna be one of those nights
Sleep tight little Sally
There's a sky full of stars
Shining for you, honey
One day you'll go that far
Get to thinking, maybe
The wounds and the scars
Will wear off one day
I's just a matter of time
On and on you wonder, if there's someone above
Why doesn't he hear me,
don't I pray hard enough?
On and on you wonder, if this madness will stop
Some ain't got it easy, some got it tough
Hush now little Sally
Close yyour angel eyes
A special lady
Will make the most of her life
Your skirts may be shabby
But girl with one of them smiles
You'll lead an honest man astray
And make him wanna cry
Watch out little Sally
The old man's messin' tonight
They're yelling down the alley
Better turn on that porchlight
Lost all of the money
Down by the quayside
He's gambled all your dreams away
All you've got left is you pride
On and on you wonder, if there's someone above
Why doesn't he hear me,
don't I pray hard enough?
On and on you wonder, if this madness will stop
Some ain't got it easy, some got it tough
