Whitesnake – Is This Love

Admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:09:47 +0000

Video & Lyrics

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
Its times like these
I cant make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I cant wait to see you again

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My backs against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me its alright,
cos I dont think I can take anymore

Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
cos its really got a hold on me,
A hold on me…

I cant stop the feeling
Ive been this way before
But, with you Ive found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An I cant wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
cos its really got a hold on me,
A hold on me…

Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for…
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for…

ZZ Top – Legs

Admin — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 11:49:06 +0000

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes holdin leg wonderin how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
Shes my baby, shes my baby,
Yeah, its alright.

Shes got hair down to her fanny.
Shes kinda jet set, try undo her panties.
Everytime shes dancin she knows what to do.
Everybody wants to see if she can use it.
Shes so fine, shes all mine,
Girl, you got it right.

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes got a dime all of the time,
Stays out at night movin through time.
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her,
The girl is alright, shes alright.

Tears For Fears – Head Over Heels

Admin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:07:34 +0000

Lyrics & Video

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Wont escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
Im lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, youre wasting my time
Youre just wasting time

Something happens and Im head over heels
I never find out till Im head over heels
Something happens and Im head over heels
Ah dont take my heart
Dont break my heart
Dont throw it away

I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming Im a doctor
Its hard to be a man when theres a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so…

Something happens and Im head over heels

And this my four leaf clover
Im on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover…..

Tears For Fears – Shout

Admin — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 04:09:31 +0000

Another Tears For Fears classic and also one of the most recognisable 80s song.

Lyrics & Video

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I’m talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn’t have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn’t have to jump for joy
Shout
They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
And when you’ve taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I’d really love to break your heart
Shout

(Orzabal/Stanley)

THE WORKING HOUR..

These things
That I’ve
Been told
Can rearrange
My world
My doubt
In time
But inside out
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistake
This day
And age
For all
And not for one
All lies
And secrets
Put on
Put on and on
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistake
And fear is such a vicious thing
It wraps me up in chains
Find out
Find out
What this fear is about
Find out
Find out
What this fear is about

Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Admin — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 10:59:07 +0000

This song is one of the all time classic in the 80s. This song puts Tears For Fears to stardom and easily one of the most recognizable song during that time.

Lyrics & Video

Welcome to your life
Theres no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

Its my own design
Its my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Theres a room where the light wont find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do Ill be right behind you

So glad weve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I cant stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that youll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Run DMC (Featuring Aerosmith) – Walk This Way

Admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 16:47:20 +0000

The father of Rap, Run DMC with this classic rap song of all time, Walk This Way, featuring Aerosmith. Very upbeat and very unique when I listened to it in the 80s.

Lyrics & Video

Backstroke lover always hidin’ ‘neath the covers
“Gonna talk to you” my daddy say
said “you ain’t seen nothin’ till youre down on a muffin
and you’re sure to be achangein’ your ways”
I met a cheerleader
was a real young bleeder all the times I could reminisce
’cause the best things in lovin’ with a sister and a cousin
only started with a little kiss alike this!

Seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin{ up in the air
I sing “Hey diddle diddle”
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn’t care
took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
was a me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
and I know’d love was here to stay
when she told me to

CHORUS walk this way, walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss!

School girl skinny with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt’s climbin’ way up her knee,
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin’ at me.
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin’ I missed,
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss alike this!

CHORUS

seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin’ up in the air,
I sing “Hey diddle diddle”
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn’t care.
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play,
was a me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
when she told me how to walk this way.
She told me to

CHORUS

Paul Hardcastle – Nineteen

Admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 16:41:04 +0000

One of the earliest rap cum disco song in the 80s, about USA’s involvement in the Vietnam war.

Lyrics & Video

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war,
but it wasn’t.
It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting.
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26…
In Vietnam he was 19.
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19.

(TV announcer’s voice)
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn’t sure what was going on (Vet’s Voice)

Nininini Nineteen, 19, Ni-nineteen 19
19,19,19,19

In Vietnam the combat soldier typicaly served a twelve month tour of duty but
was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ninininininininininin 19 nininininninin 19

Hundreds of Thousands of men who saw heavy combat in Vietnam were arrested
since discharge
Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same age.
There are no accurate figures of how many of these men have been incarcerated.
But, a Veterans Administration study concludes that the greater of Vets
exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances of being arrested or
convicted.

This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

(Singing Girls)
All those who remember the war
They won’t forget what they’ve seen..
Destruction of men in their prime
whose average was 19
Dedededededede-Destruction
Dedededededede-Destruction
War, War
Dededede-Destruction, wa-wa-War, wa-War, War
Dedededededede-Destruction
War, War

After World War II the Men came home together on troop ships, but the Vietnam
Vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat
Perhaps the most dramatic difference between World War II and VietNam was
coming home.. .none of them received a hero’s welcome
None of them received

Sabrina Salerno – Boys

Admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 05:05:24 +0000

I remember the first time I hear this song and the artist, my first thought was she is a direct competitor to Samatha Fox. True enough, she stole alot of attention. One of the classic retro song though.

Baltimora – Tarzan Boy

Admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 04:55:00 +0000

One hit wonder Baltimora with the song Tarzan Boy. Very very retro indeed. Just like The Great Commandments, it still sound nice if you listen to it once or twice. If too many times you will feel that the song is pretty cheap.

Lyrics & Video

Jungle life
I’m far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan Boy
Hide and seek
I play along while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon
Jungle life
I’m living in the open
Native beat that carries on
Burning bright
A fire the blows the signal to the sky
I sit and wonder does the message get to you

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
chance tonight
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other world

Jungle life
You’re far away from nothing
It’s all right
You won’t miss home
Take a chance
Leave everything behind you
Come and join me
Won’t be sorry
It’s easy to survive

Jungle life
We’re living in the open
All alone like Tarzan Boy
Hide and seek
We play along while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh Yeah
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Night to night
You won’t play
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other
Chance tonight
Oh Yeah
Night to night
Night to night
Gimme the other, gimme the other

Camouflage – The Great Commandment

Admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 04:47:28 +0000

This is the extended version of the song. Very retro indeed.

Lyrics & Video

Some people suppress you
they partch you
and reap a disaster
Reeducation for the infants
who demanded for an innocent instance

The great commandment
shows the contempt
between the world and their embarrassing pavement
Believe the scholars
read the readings
realize the man who says anything

The great commandment

The needies believe you
they treat you
like survivors of a disaster
Reeducation for the infants
who demanded for an innocent instance

The great commandment
