Stuck In The Middle With You
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, and I'm all over the place.

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well, you started off with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please.

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore.

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

And you started off with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please.

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.

Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you.
Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

stealers wheel, stuck in the middle with you..

 

My friends feel it's their appointed duty They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up My brother sit me right down and he talked to me He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes You just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do It ain't too bad the way you're using me Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do Ah ha to do the things you do

And if it's there
Don't let it get you down,
You can take it.
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry,
You can make it.

Hold your head up, oh

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes
On you moving.
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing
That you're doing.

Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head high.

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes
On you moving.
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing
That you're doing.

Argent

hold your head up, 1972

Grew up in a small town,
And when the rain would fall down,
I'd just stare out my window.
Dreaming of what could be,
And if I'd end up happy,
I would pray.

Try not to reach out,
But when I tried to speak out,
Felt like no-one could hear me.
Wanted to belong here,
But something felt so wrong here.
So I'd pray,
I could break away.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.

Wanna feel the warm breeze,
Sleep under a palm tree,
Feel the rush of the ocean,
Get onboard a fast train,
Travel on a jetplane,
Faraway, and break away.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I've gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.

Buildings with a 100 floors,
Swinging aroundrevolving doors,
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me.
But I gotta keep moving on moving on,
Fly away, break away.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
Tho its not easy to tell you goodbye.
Gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget the place I come from.
I've gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.

Break away, break away

 

really GCMan. I need more of a challenge than this,, after all I do have a teenager living in my house.. lol 

Kelly clarkson, break away

 

 

I don't care if you never come home.
I don't mind if you just
Keep on rowin'away on a distant sea
cuz I don't love you and
you don't love me.

You cause a commotion
when you come to town

You give 'em a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends
is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and
you don't like mine.

La la la ...

I don't care what you do at night oh
I don't care how you get your delights
We'll leave it alone
We'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me.

I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman
Callin' love hate.
We made a vow
we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end.

La la la ...

I tried to love you for years upon years
But you refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
That I'd still love you if
you'd just love me.

I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman
Callin' love hate.
We made a vow
we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end.

La la la ...

 

Damn but now I have a visual of the Stones singing Hank Williams, thanx jewdarkis.

OK that was too easy what about this one?

We had a lot of luck on venus
We always had a ball on mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the milky way so far
We danced around with borealice
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go space truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And pony trekker led the way
We'd move to the canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on let's go space truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the milky way
They dance around the borealice
They're space truckin' everyday
Come on

Space Truckin' ~ Deep Purple

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone 

somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting so long

somebody holds the key

Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home



Come down on your own and leave your body alone

somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years

somebody holds the key

Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Blind Faith, 1969

we bury our fears in the drinks in these tears

for  the days we believed we could fly
