Make A Bet
/f/foo+fighters/make+a+bet_20054738.html
I'm hangin around, I not puttin down the state I'm in I've never been proud, And now I'm allowed to she'd my skin I'm driving away, I know if I stay I'll sit and spin. Imagine the day, I'm drowing that they can reel me in Pick up where I left off Lets make a bet We'll make a bargain and call this truce Let's make a bet I'm in loss and win or lose with you I see it all now, I'm taking my bow in every sense I'm scratchin around, it's getting too loud the space I'm in So now I can leave, Too decent of me so evident The one that relieves, The other's disease like medicine Pick up where I left off Lets make a bet We'll make a bargain and call this truce Let's make a bet I'm in loss and win or lose with you Speakin in tounges I can't get through Think of runnin but I'm tired of runnin into you Speakin in tounges the way I do Found that you understand quite well Cause that's your language too I'm hangin around, I'm not puttin down the state I'm in In love with the sound, it's gettin too loud Lets make a bet We'll make a bargain and call this truce Let's make a bet I'm in loss and win or lose with you Lets make a bet I never wanted to call this truce Lets make a bet Always lost and win or lose with you

Miracle
/f/foo+fighters/miracle_10118739.html
Crazy but I believe this time Begging for sweet relief A blessing in disguise Dying behind these tired eyes I've been losing sleep Please come to me tonight Hands on a miracle I've got my hands on a miracle Believe it or not, hands on a miracle And there ain't no way That you'd it away Everything that we survived It's gonna be alright Just lucky we're alive Got no vision I've been blind Searching every where You're right here in my sight

Mountain Of You
/f/foo+fighters/mountain+of+you_20501588.html
I can't wait til it's light out, There's some things I should get them done, Tried inhaling some white out, Ended up with some bleeding gums. Anything I left in the closet, Shouldn't have a hard time getting out, If I had the time I could make it, Seems to be the chances are chasing, All the substance I've done without, And all the luck that I've hated, Aside from all of the petty doubt, Can't believe I have made it. I'm afraid of the dark now, It's the sign of a patsy, Round the time of the door brow, We should let it come in, Never put your face in the water, It hurts your eyes when they open up, Not that any different could matter, It's just a different conspirit. If there's one thing I could laugh about, Solve this mess I've created, I've tried a part of the sacred cow, Mountain of you Mountain of you Mountain of you Mountain of you If there's one thing I could laugh about, Solve this mess I've created, I've tried a part of the sacred cow, Mountain of you Mountain of you Mountain of you Mountain of you

The likes of you may never be attracted to the likes of me, But accidents will happen and I'll be around, And maybe there'll be no one else but me around. Forevermore may never start, you may ignore my hopeful heart, And chances are not the one to make you fall, But accidents will happen after all. A smile may show it, your eyes may glow Before you know it, I'm sure I'll know. So if you fall in just that way, oh wouldn't I be thrilled to hear you say I had a lovely accident today. Your eyes may glow, I'm sure I'll know.

I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful And I think it's what I want to be And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain Or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful And I think it's what I want to be

Best Is Yet To Come
/f/frank+sinatra/best+is+yet+to+come+the_10122424.html
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came along and everything's startin' to hum Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till our lips have met And wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine? Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain the cup dry Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near Wait till you see that sunshine place Ain't nothin' like it here The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine? The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine And you're gonna be mine

Bewitched
/f/frank+sinatra/bewitched_20056234.html
She's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have her charms I'm in love and don't I show it Like a babe in arms Love's the same old situation Lately I've not slept a wink Since this crazy situation Has me on the blink I'm wild again, beguiled again A whimpering, simpering child again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I I lost my heart, but what of it She is cold I agree She might laugh, but I love it Although the laugh's on me I'll sing to her, bring spring to her And long, for the day when I'll cling to her Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

Brazil
/f/frank+sinatra/brazil_20055318.html
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured "Someday soon" We kissed and clung together Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing that I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil That old Brazil Man, it's old in Brazil Brazil, Brazil

Brooklyn Bridge

Like the folks you meet on Like to plant my feet on the Brooklyn Bridge What a lovely view from Heaven looks at you from the Brooklyn Bridge I love to listen to the wind through her strings The song that she sings for the town I love to look up at the clouds in her hair She's learned to wear like a crown If you've been a rover Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge Don't let no one tell you I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge All the folks in Manhattan are sad 'Cause they look at her and wish they had The good old Brooklyn Bridge If you've been a rover Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge Don't let no one tell you I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge You'll miss her most when you roam 'Cause you'll think of her and think of home The good old Brooklyn Bridge

But Beautiful
/f/frank+sinatra/but+beautiful_20055469.html
Love is funny or it's sad, Or it's quiet or it's mad, It's a good thing or it's bad, But beautiful! Beautiful to take a chance And if you fall, you fall, And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all. Love is tearful or it's gay. It's a problem or it's play, It's a heartache either way, But beautiful! And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go, And that would be but beautiful I know.

But None Like You
/f/frank+sinatra/but+none+like+you_20162521.html
The world is full of people, but none like you, They're ordinary people, but none like you. How far away is yesterday before you came along. It seemed to be just a dream to me, until you proved here on. The lanes are full of lovers, but none like you, Just ordinary lovers, not dreams like you, I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true, That I'm the lucky one who found you. I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true, That I'm the lucky one who found you.

But Not For Me
/f/frank+sinatra/but+not+for+me_20056243.html
They're writing songs of love but not for me A lucky star's above but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play can guarantee I was a fool to fall and get this way Ah ho alas and awe so lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not she's not for me Old man sunshine listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and all start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me she will care I'm certain it's the final curtain I never want to here from any cheerful Polly-Anna's Who tell you fate supplies a mate it's all bananas It all began so well but what an end This is the time a fellow needs a friend When every happy plot Ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot, no (k)not for me

Can't You Just See Yourself?
/f/frank+sinatra/cant+you+just+see+yourself_20174290.html
Can't you just see yourself in a gingham gown, Little pink ribbons tied in your hair, Sitting there by my side when we ride through town, Folks'll turn around, oh how they'll tell. Can't you just see yourself on a porch with me, Watching a show that stars give for free. One little word can do it, so say the word And we'll have dozens of chicks, a house in the sticks, Where people are glad to be known as hicks, Can't you just see yourself in love with me? Can't you just see yourself on a porch with me, Watching a show that stars give for free. One little word can do it, so say the word And we'll have dozens of chicks, a house in the sticks, Where people are glad to be known as hicks, Can't you just see yourself in love with me?

Change Partners
/f/frank+sinatra/change+partners_20055903.html
Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man? You have danced with him since the music began. Won't you change partners and dance with me? Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face? Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place? Won't you change partners and dance with me? Ask him to sit this one out. while you're alone, I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone. You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when. Won't you change partners and then, You may never want to change partners again.

Ciribiribin
/f/frank+sinatra/ciribiribin_20174781.html
When the moon hangs low in Napoli, there's a handsome gondolier, Every night he sings so happily, so his lady love can hear. In a manner oh gravissimo, he repeats his serenade, And his heart beats so fortissimo, when she raises her Venetian shade. Ciribiribin, chiribiribin, ciribiribin. Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony. Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won't agree. Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above, Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love. (musical interlude) Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love.

Dancing On The Ceiling

The world is lyrical Because a miracle Has brought my lover to me Though she's some other place, her face I see At night I creep in bed And never sleep in bed But look above in the air And to my greatest joy, my love is there She dances overhead On the ceiling near my bed In my sight All through the night I try to hide in vain Underneath my counterpane But there's my love Up there above I whisper, "Go away, my lover It's not fair" But I'm so grateful to discover That she's still there I love my ceiling more Since it is a dancing floor Just for my love

Since I looked in your direction, Your tenderness is all I seem to crave. But when I look for your affection, You smile, my dear, and tell me to behave. Don't make me beg for your kisses, Beg for your tender embrace, I want your love, not your sympathy, Please don't make a beggar of me. While I sigh and keep confessing, The love I have for you will never die, Somehow you always keep me guessing, And wondering just how long I'll have to cry. Don't make me beg for your kisses, Beg for your tender embrace. I want your love, not your sympathy, Please don't make a beggar of me.

Empty Is

[Speaks:] Empty is the sky before the sun wakes up. Empty is the eyes of animals in cages. Empty, faces of women mourning When everything's been taken from them. Me, don't ask me about empty. [Sings:] Empty is a string of dirty days Held together by some rain. And the cold winds drumming at the trees again. Empty is the color of the fear Long about September when the days Go marching in a line toward November. Empty is the hour before sleep chills you every night And pushes you to take me away from every kind of light. Empty is me. Empty is me.

She had that Camarillo brillo Flamin' out along her head, I mean her Mendocino bean-o By where some bugs had made it red She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest And every newt in Idaho And every cricket who had chorused By the bush in Buffalo She said she was A Magic Mama And she could throw a mean Tarot And carried on without a comma That she was someone I should know She had a snake for a pet And an amulet And she was breeding a dwarf But she wasn't done yet She had gray-green skin A doll with a pin I told her she was awright But I couldn't come in (I couldn't come in right then . . . ) And so she wandered Trough the door-way Just like a shadow from the tomb She said her stereo was four-way An' I'd just love it in her room Well, I was born To have adventure So I just followed up the steps Right past her fuming incense stencher To where she hung her castanets She stripped away Her rancid poncho An' laid out naked by the door We did it till we were un-concho An' it was useless any more She had a snake for a pet And an amulet And she was breeding a dwarf But she wasn't done yet She had gray-green skin A doll with a pin I told her she was awright But I couldn't come in (actually, I was very busy then) And so she wandered Through the door-way Just like a shadow from the tomb She said her stereo was four-way An' I'd just love it in her room Well, I was born To have adventure So I just followed up the steps Right past her fuming incense stencher To where she hung her castanets She said she was A Magic Mama And she could throw a mean Tarot And carried on without a comma That she was someone I should know (Is that a real poncho . . . I mean Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Hmmm . . . no foolin' . . . )

Cradle Rock
/f/frank+zappa/cradle+rock_20175249.html
Rock a bye, Baby, On the tree-top. When the wind blows, The cradle will rock. When the bow breaks, The cradle will fall. So down, down, down, down... Down will come Baby, Cradle and all. I gave you my kisses Right from the start. I gave you my true love, For I wasn't smart. But you took advantage And broke my heart. An' down, down, down, down... Down went my soul An' you threw away my heart. Don't make me cry for you. Don't make me die for you. I never thought it'd be like this. But in the end you see, You took the best of me. So down with all... Down came my heart. You learned to love me Much too late. Offered me kisses I wouldn't take. When the wind blew, You saw me fall. So down, down, down, down Down will come Baby, Cradle and all.
