Lyric Database?

[MMAustin]

Does anyone know of a program, freeware or shareware
that can be easily used as a database for some lyrics.

I only want a small program, i don;t want to get involved
in a load of programming on a large program like
Access or whatever.

Mark

PS - If anyone needs them, I have the lyrics to some
300 John Stewart songs. Just ask me!

Here you go.

Song Title: THE LAST HURRAH
Songwriter(s): John Stewart
Album Title: Fire In The Wind
Record Company: RSO
Record Number: RSO SUPER 2394 194
Release Date: 1977
Format: LP

Clear the tracks, the song's been taken
This may be the last hurrah
In Tennessee they were forsaken
L.A. was the coup de grace

Clean your guns, the battle's over
They belong now to the wind
The saddest words I've ever spoken
Were the words "What might have been"

And it's all right, it's only music
It is singing in the stars
Keep your dreams as clean as silver
This may be the last hurrah

Loyal friends and front row dancers
Hitch you wagon to a star
A chilly wind blew cold this morning
This may be the last hurrah

And it's all right, it's only music
It is singing in the stars
Keep your dreams as clean as silver
This may be the last hurrah
This may be the last hurrah

There's a small story behind this song. It was the last song
on the album, and apparently it was the last song written. The
album was the last under his current recording contract and there
was nothing else pending. It's easy to read an autobiographical
element into the words.

Erin asked for "Gold"

Song Title: GOLD
Songwriter(s): John Stewart
Album Title: Bombs Away Dream Babies
Record Company: RSO
Record Number: RSO SUPER RSS6
Release Date: 1979
Format: LP

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart's beating time with my breathing
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Oh, my buddy Tim Bass he's working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Oh California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singing right to me, I can hear the melody
The story is there for the taking
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart's beating time with my breathing
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold
People out there turning music into gold
People out there turning music into gold

The one bit that confuses people is "Kanan" which is
a road in LA.

[erin c/o altmusiclyrics]

I am stupefied... every reference for this song says
"drivin' over Kanan"

I thought it was something else (i don't know what i thought)

Some say it's a city in California, some say it's a street
in L.A.

I live about 125 miles from L.A. and have never heard of a
city or street in L.A. named Kanan... not that i'm an expert.

I hate to be so nit-picky about such a stoopid thing... but
it's buggin' me now and won't let go!

Any answers? (besides therapy?)

luv,
erin...

"Kanan" in the song is Kanan Dume Road which can be driven over the Santa Monica Mountains from Agoura Hills near the #101 freeway to Malibu. It is a scenic, short curving route that can by used to bypass the freeway traffic. John Stewart probably drove it many times to and from his then-Malibu home at the time he was writing the song.

YES. I am in need of as many John Stewart lyrics as I can find. Can anyone help me find them?

Well, did you try contacting Mark? It seems that when he wrote this
