HOOK (a)
Blues Traveler
Album: Four
Source: CC from SNL (Sept. 30) and Kit...@aol.com
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
1-Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss, I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
(rpt 1...Was the)
Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got
Too much pride inside to hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities
To the ground I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on lunch because...

We just added this song to our collection, and we'd
like to share it with you.

NAME
Goo Goo Dolls
Album: A Boy Named Goo
Source: jessi...@aol.com
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Are lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one, that's a shame
You could hide beside me, maybe for awhile
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell your name
The scar's a souvenir you never lose
The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
The reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
If it's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell your name

'TIL YOU DO ME RIGHT
After 7
Album: Reflections
I was in love with you, and gave my heart to you
I did my best to keep you satisfied
You took the love from me, and used it selfishly
You did not give back your love to me at all
I gave the sun to you, you said it was too bright
I gave you diamond rings, you said they didn't shine
I gave my world to you, you said it's not enough
What in the world could I have done
To make you be so rough
1-'Til you do me right
I don't even want to talk to you
I don't even want to hear you speak my name
'Til you do me right
Only wrong is gonna come to you
Nothing good is gonna come to you
'Til you change your ways
Until you change your evil ways
Girl I was there for you, someone you could talk to
How could you just keep breaking my heart
What did I do to you, to make you be so cruel
I don't understand why you been so wronged
I tried to be your strength, you said I was too strong
I tried to compromise, so we could get along
I gave my love to you, despite your evil ways
I guess it's clear to me
There's only one thing left to say
(rpt 1)
There's a time when you know
What you feel inside your heart
It's telling you that something is strange
You don't have to deny it
All you gotta do is just try it
You'll find a love grows stronger
When your willing to change

GET READY FOR THIS
2 Unlimited
Album: Get Ready
Source: UTFC <del...@acy.digex.net>
Ya'll ready for this?
Get down with the style, house on the ground
Please when I squeeze, pump to your knees
Who wants to play? I'm in here to stay,
Ready to take you around the way
So get ready for this. Mind your own biz
'Cause I invented the microphone biz
No need to sit, cause we're 2 Unlimited
Ready, ready, ready for this!
Feel the base, you just get closer
Be impressed by the words I chose of
Once again kickin' it live
Doin' everything yo just to survive
A wall to wall, I think I stand
Being on stage with a mic in my hand
Bustin' it live to the crowd
The age is 20, I'm from the south
1-Be a part, break my heart
Get ready for this, mind your own biz
People in the front, show me what you want
And I won't give it in...
Get ready for this!
We're 2 Unlimited, so people won't you sit?
Movin' up and down, dancin' on the ground
Feelin' kinda free; security
House is style that moves you from the ground
House on the ground, bass in your face
Racin' the place, no time to waste
Feelin' hypnotised, I can see it in your eyes
Feelin' kinda better, put on your sweater
Feelin' like a white, I think it doesn't matter
Super, dope, def, and even outrageous
If I was an animal, they've kept me in cages
So get ready for this! Ya'll ready for this?
