16 Tons lyrics

[1vsl]
Some people say a man is made out of mud well a poor man's made outta
muscle and blood..Muscle and blood and skin and bone..and a mind
that's weak..but a back thats strong.
[2vs]
And he was born one morning when the sun didn't shine..
He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines
He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal..Til-
the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul!
[CHR]
You load 16 tons and whaddaya get??
another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don'tcha call me 'Cause-
I can't go...I owe my soul to the Company
Store
[3vs]
He was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
fightin'and trouble are his middle name
He was raised in a cave,bred by an old mama lion
ain't no high tone woman makes him walk the line
[4vs]
So if you see him coming..you better step aside,-
Alot of men didn't and alot of men died.
He's got one fist of iron, and the other of
steel..And if the right one doesn't get you..
Then the left one will...
[CHR]

24 Hours lyrics

Verse 1

Salty skin on my body
Sweated pores like rain
I can feel the attack
But I'm known to pain
The cold is creeping in
and it chills my veins
I've got one more minute, twenty four hours to go

Verse 2

No redemption in my heart
No illusions owned for start
What I did I cant take back
There's no use in wishing that
The bell is ringing now
and the clock counts down
I got one more minute, twenty four hours to go

Chorus

Angels wont help me now
This fate is all mine
Darkness is fading out
and so is my time

Verse 3

Hear the footsteps at my door
I don't struggle anymore
As i take my final breath
I don't feel what lies ahead
Im leaving to a place
Where ill see your face
I had one more minute, twenty four hours ago

One more minute, twenty four hours ago

After The Tears lyrics
Do you want a shoulder
I only want to hold you
In your hour of need
I hate to say I told you so
But you should've let him go
It just wasn't meant to be

Let me make your pain a little lighter
I can help you make your world a little brighter

I'll be there when the shouting's over
I'll be here after the tears
You just may need me to hold you
I'll be here after the tears

Just a matter of time now
Till I make you mine now
It could happen any day
Waited patiently
Now it looks like you're gonna be free
The tide is turning my way

I'll see you through all the confussion
I'll be your only true solution

I'll be here when the party's over
I'll be here after the tears
You just may need another lover
I'll be here after the tears

Hold on
Love is not so far away
Can you hear it calling
Be strong
I'll be waiting in the wings

(I'll be here when the shouting's over)
i can make it better
(I'll be here after the tears)
I can make it better
(You just may need me to hold you)
I can make it better
(I'll be here after the tears)
(I can make it better)

I'll be here when the party's over
(I can make it better)
I'll be here after the tears
(I can make it better)
You just may need another lover
(I can make it better)
I'll be here after the tears
(I can make it better)

Ballad Of Tom Jones lyrics

What did I do wrong?
Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
Am I really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lechter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
Why are we still together?
Oh I can't leave until you're dead
You mean 'til death do us part?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes the savage beast
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
The two of us would surely have ended up dead

[Chorus]

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales

So haven't solved our problems
You mean we hate each others guts
I still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
I phoned the marriage guidance
I tied the phone line round your neck
I'm sick of all this hatred
Well that will be the arsenic making you sick
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits

[Repeat Chorus]

And now the war is over
I've lost the urge to break your neck
I owe my life to What's New Pussycat
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
Oh I used to call you satan
And you were Cruella De'Ville
And now you call me your Delilah
And I am not your lucifer
And I am just your pussycat
But just a word of warning now
Just in case we ever get tured of his voice
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
And I know an atom that's bomb going for a song

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Burning Down The House lyrics

Watch out you might get what youre after
cool babies strange but not a stranger
i'm an ordinary guy
burning down the house

hold tight wait till the party's over
hold tight we're in for nasty weather
there has got to be a way
burning down the house

here's your ticket pack your back: time for jumpin' overboard
the transportations here
close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
fightin' fire with fire

all wet hey you might need a raincoat
shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
burning down the house
it was once upon a place sometimes i listen to myself
gonne come in first place
people on their way to work baby what did you expect
gonna burst into flame

my house s'out of the ordinary
that's might don't want to hurt nobody
something sure can sweep me off my feet
burning down the house

no visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
everythings stuck together
i don't know what you expect starring into the tv set
fighting fire with fire
