"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"
The Proclaimers

When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home (When I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)

And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Crying In The Rain ~ A-ha

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

"Where Are You Now" ~ Skrillex and Diplo feat. Justin Bieber

Where are you now
When I need you the most
Why don't you take my hand
I want to be close

Help me when I am down
Lift me up off the ground
Teach me right from wrong
Help me to stay strong

So take my hand and walk with me.
Show me what to be
I need you to set me free yeah

Where are you now

[Chorus:]
Where are you now
Now that I'm half-grown.
Why are we far apart?
I feel so alone

Where are you now,
When nothing's going right?
Where are you now?
I can't see the light.

So take my hand and walk with me.
Show me what to be.
I need you to set me free, yeah yeah

I need you
To need me
Can't you see me
How could you leave me
My heart is half empty
I'm not whole
When you're not with me

I want you
Here with me
To guide me
Hold me
And love me now

Where are you now?
Ohh
Where are you now?

So take my hand and walk with me.
Show me what to be, yeah
I need you to set me free, yeah.

Where are you now?
Yeah, yeah, oh-oh.
Yeah.

Growing up in North East Pennsylvania I came to appreciate Michael Stanley as a musician.
I still love his work and he is still making records.

Here is a site dedicated to his lyrics but I will also list some of his songs from time to time.

I Am You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reLqMTaKTgg

--words and music by Michael Stanley

I have seen the skyline burning
And I have watched the deals go down
Lost myself in seasons turning
And I have walked on sacred ground
Lived through nights that never ended
I have had belief suspended
Through and through
But after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

I have taken foolish chances
I have watched my leaders lie
Fallen hard for love's advances
And walked away when I should have tried
I have filled my heart with hate
Cast it out 'fore it's too late
What else can you do?
Times like these you must remember
No quarter, no surrender
I am you...

I'm gonna hold on and see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
I am you...

I have stopped instead of started
And I have watched my children grow
Stood by graves of friends departed
And found out just how much
I do not know
Followed when I should have led
I have left too much unsaid
Sad but true
And after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
'Cause I am you...

I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
I am you...

I am you...

I am you...

What nice lyrics Sir Tom, thank u for sharing

You're welcome - I like that song.

LOL, I would never use one of those microphone things without being totally drunk. My years have ruined my voice.

In my youth I did sing with a band at the 'Battle of The Bands' in Jamestown, PA. But you were not there so no use in pineing over lost arts.

Sniff 'N' The Tears is another one with lots of great songs

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkjxHR87oApKNDDOBfQEXVQ

Most of their stuff is great for romantic night at soft low volumes but there are a few that are great for karaoke.

5&Zero

Sniff 'N' The Tears - 5 & Zero Lyrics

The wheel was spinning away my earnings and
the bets had stopped
across the table she smiled to herself
with her eyes dropped - a little
she put her winnings on to five and zero
then she looked my way
this was the moment that I had to angle to
make my play

My heart was thumping as I bought my chips
and then I placed them next to hers
the room was hazy and the tension building
as I looked across at her
as the ball dropped into the slot at zero
she smiled a secret smile
my hand was trembling as I reached for my winnings

then gave her back a pile
and if it's alright
I think I'll run and hide
run and hide

As I followed her into the soft moonlight
I said you brought me luck
she said It's no fun when you're losing or
giving up
So I held her to me and I breathed the fragrance of her
breathtaking perfume
and the croupier said les jeux sont faits
as I saw she'd left the room
and if it's alright
I think I'll run and hide
run and hide

Chorus

Another good one that everyone knows from the radio is

And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife

Fast Car ~ Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

See my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

Something more instrumental that is easy

Nazareth - Sunshine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC3AlHYT2Ic

"Sunshine"

Sunshine, every single day
Helps to light my way
And darlin', right before my eyes
It don't come as no surprise
That it's easy
Easy lovin' you

And baby,'til you came along
There was always something wrong
Around me
There was emptiness of course
But it's alright
And it's easy
Easy lovin' you

And sunshine, having you around
You're the light I never found
And darlin',every minute you're away
But it's brighter
And it's easy
Easy lovin' you

GOD BE WITH YOU ~ The Cranberries

The truth will never hide
Even though I tried
They tried to take my pride
But they only took my father from me
They only took my father
Even though I cried
Even though I tried again

God be with you Ireland
God be with you Ireland

Sometimes I was afraid
Even though I prayed
I've lost my religion now
You took that too somehow
Blood upon thy hands
Blood upon thy hands again

(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland

(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland

God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
