Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat
To a better place than the one we're at
And I ain't got no kinda plan
But I've had all of this town I can stand
And I got friends out on the coast
We can jump in the water and see what floats
We've been saving for a rainy day
Let's beat the storm and be on our way

Chris Stapleton

[Kidd72]

Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own, reflected in my window
Well, she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadows

She said: Son, what are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave
I said: Mama, I come to the valley of the rich, myself to sell
She said: Son, this is the road to hell

On your journey 'cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

Well, I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
Then I'm underneath the streetlights, but the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows

Chris Rea

[Hazlinny]

 

Smoke is clearing out, all the circling lights blind me
I've been running out, now it's all just a fight to breathe
I gave it all, yeah, I gave everything
I will never break the silence
When I look inside, I don't have to hide
If you're looking, you won't find it
Who's the enemy?
Don't know what to believe

Living in the shadows
Living in the shadows

Matthew P. Jones

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing that I'd rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell

Bruce Springstein

[Hazlinny]

There's a place out on the highway, where i go to spend my time
Where the bartenders all know me, and the players are friends of mine
Then we light up on the breaks and talk of things that we all know
But i've heard it all before...
And i'll hear it all again...
And i've heard it said; the highway never ends

Willie Nelson

[Arksided]

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
And shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Kenny Logins - Top Gun and Maverick.

[Hazlinny]

Red light spells danger
Can't hold out much longer
'Cause red light means warning
Can't hold out I'm burning

I had my fun, I played around
Without a love to tie me down
I always used to kiss and run
I never wanted love to catch me
I thought I had a heart of stone
But now I'm in the danger zone
I can feel the heat is on
Soon the flames are gonna catch me

Billy Ocean  .......  Watching Pet Shop Boys at I of W Festival.

I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep, beep, beep, beep,
His horn went beep, beep, beep

[Hazlinny]

I hear the sirens of redemption
Screamin' out like never before
And there's a roadblock in every direction
But I ain't stoppin' 'cause I'm in control

And there's a monkey on my back
So I gotta set a trap
'Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals

I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin' in the past no more

So feast your eyes on the big, blue sky
And wave bye-bye from a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price, gotta roll those dice
And wave bye-bye from a long, black Cadillac

There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks"
It's a rat trap Billy, but you're already caught
And you can make it if you wanna or you need it bad enough
You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough

Boomtown Rats. Hope your enjoying that Hazi and cooling down after the mini heatwave... really hot next week.

[Hazlinny]

She doesn't like the tough guys
They think that they can do anything they please
But they're gonna get a surprise
When she brings them to their knees

'Cause she doesn't like the rough guys
They think they can have any girl they choose
They've got tricks but my baby got wise
So in case you haven't heard the news

She doesn't like the tough guys
She doesn't like the rough guys
So find some one you own size
'Cause she's not afraid of you

REO Speedwagon            Yes, good.   Don't like when the weather gets too hot.

[Arksided]

God wants peace, God wants war
God wants famine, God wants chain stories
What God wants, God gets

God wants sedition, God wants sex
God wants freedom, God wants semtex
What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

"Don't look so afraid, I'm only joking"
The alien comic lied
The *** and hyena took the feather from it's hook
The monkey in the corner wrote the joke down in his book

What God wants, God gets
What God wants, God gets

Roger Waters. Me either Hazi I stayed inside all day flopped about did a few odd jobs around the place I'd been meaning to get around to.

Blimey! *** = Jack- - a55

[Hazlinny]

Don't look so sad, i know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need o watch the bridges that we're burning

Elvis     That was a bit odd  - must  be a connotation somewhere?

[1ozzy]

Oh, baby, this is nowhere
Wish I was somewhere, over you
Your sweet lips tell me there's no chance
No more romance, over you

Roxy Music

[Hazlinny]

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together, all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Jim Reeves

[mushroom25]

Goin' to a party,
Meet me out after school.
Well we're goin' to a place
Where the jive is really cool.
And if the band stops playin'
There's a jukebox in the hall.

With your blue dress on,
And your folks all gone.
You'll sure give the guys a ball.

Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a California man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man.

Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman she's making me mad.
So I don't care if your legs start aching,
I'm a California man.
I'm a California man.

Oh my legs start to shiver
When I hear you call my name.
Well, my knees keep a knocking,
And I'm feeling tired bugs me down.

An' when we take off fine,
An' my jeans are way down low.
When I waggle my hips
It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll...

The Move

[Arksided]

Oh, my child, you'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child, you got so much
You gonna take away my energy

With all your jive-talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin' still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It's just your jive-talkin' that gets in the way (Oh my)

EeBee Gee Bees

[maggiebee]

I know a cat named Way-out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy Hand Jive, too

Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe
Doing the Hand Jive with Sister Flo
Grandma gave baby sister a dime
Do that Hand Jive one more time

Hand Jive, Hand Jive, Hand Jive
Do that crazy Hand Jive

Eric Clapton

[Arksided]

What do you do
To get to feel alive?
You go downtown
And get some of that prime jive

I said Mama
I ain't crazy
I am alright, alright

Hey, c'mon baby said it's alright
To rock and roll on a Saturday night
I said shoot and get your suit
And come along with me
I said c'mon baby down
Come and rock with me
I said yeah
We're gonna rock it
