Lyrics to the theme songs in my life

 

In chronological order:

 

San Francisco by Scott McKenzie

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

 

Going Up to the Country - Canned heat

I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before.

I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Well, I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
You can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time.

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.
All this fussin' and fightin', man you know I sure can't stay.

Now baby, packin' up the truck you know I got to leave today.
Just exacly where I'm goin' I can not say, but we might even leave the USA.
It's a brand-new game and I don't wanna play.

No use of you running or screaming and crying
But you got a home man, long as I got mine.

 

When will I be loved - Linda Ronstadt

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved

I've been pushed down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Tell me, when will I be loved

 

Love hurts - Heart

Love Hurts

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
Take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
And it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts

You're young, I know
Baby, what's so
I know a thing or two
Ooo honey, I learned from you
I really learned a lot
I really learned a lot
Love is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts

Some fools rave, of happiness
Of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools,
They fool themselves, I guess
They're not fooling me
And I know it isn't true
God, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, (ooooo) love hurts
(Ooooo), love hurts

And I know it isn't true
Oh, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Cause love hurts
Early in the morning you hurt,
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts

 

Look what they've done to my song - Melanie

Look what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

Look what they've done to my brain, Ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song

La la la la la la la...
Look what they've done to my song

But maybe it will be all right, Ma
Maybe it'll be OK
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich some day, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

Ils ont change ma chanson, Ma
Ils ont ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, Ma
Ils ont change ma chanson

Look what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song

Oh Mama
Look what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing I could do half right
And they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song.

 

I'll never Fall in Love Again - Dionne Warwick

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
Dontcha know that I'll never fall in love again?

Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love a- gain
No, no, I'll never fall in love again

Ahh, out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love a- gain
Dontcha know that I'll never fall in love a- gain
I'll never fall in love a- gain

 

Tender Lady by Margie Adams:

The Tender Lady has sadness in her eyes
She sees the fallen hopes, the loneliness and lies
Tell me, have you something to ease her pain
Why not give her happiness and peace again.

I know I've come before asking things for me
But the Tender Lady needs so much care, you see
Tell me, have you something to ease her pain
Why not give her happiness and peace again.

Music, oh sweet melody
Won't you draw her close to you
And comfort her for me.

I am just a friend of hers, I cannot move the stars
But the Tender Lady reads messages like ours
Tell me, have you something to ease her pain
Why not give her happiness and peace again.

Music, oh sweet melody
Won't you draw her close to you
And comfort her... yes, comfort her
Please comfort her for me.

 

No other name - Peter, Paul and Mary

Know me by the light of a fire shin'in bright,
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me, and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name.

Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine spanish lace
Some will say I love you
Some will have my face.

Some will bring you gold, babies to hold,
I'll bring you only pain.
You can know me, if you will, by the wind on the hill
Youll know me by no other name.

Some girls will die for money,
Some will die as they're born,
Some will swear they'd die for love,
Some die every morn.

I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came.
The stone at my head will say I am dead,
It knows me by no other name.
It knows me by no other name.

 

Eagles - Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
You've been out ridin fences for so long now,
Oh and you're a hard one,
but I know that you've got your reasons,
The things that are pleasin you can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
she'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones you can't get.

Desperado, you ain't gettin no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home,
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime,
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
And you're losin all your highs and lows,
Ain't it funny how the feelin goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
Come down from your fences- open the gates.
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU.
You'd better let somebody love you,
before it's too late.
