Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

All the ache and pain and the April showers.
But it ain't long before I long for you
like a ray of hope coming through the blue.

When it all gets darken then

Cause we'll get through it anyway

We'll get up and start again
Cause we could belifted, lifted, lifted
We could be lifted from the shadows
Lifted

Oh we could be
Lifted up today, lifted all the way
You and I forever baby
Lifted, lifted, lifted

It's undisturbable the peace we've found
In a bright blue space up above the clouds
Where everything is understandable
You don't have to say anything too loud

When our luck runs out again
Brought back down to solid ground
I wouldn't say I'm mad about the rain
But we'll get through it anyway

We'll get back to the stars again
Cause we could be lifted

Preacher's son,

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
Cousin Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

It's Not Unusual lyrics

It's Not Unusual lyrics
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tom-jones-lyrics/it_s-not-unusual-lyrics.html ]
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

IHERCULES SONG

If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

Muses:
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of

Meg:
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no

Muses:
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-oh

Meg:
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh

Muses:
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

Meg:
No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no

Muses:
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love

Meg:
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love

Muses:
You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love

Meg:
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it

Muses:
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love

Meg:
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love

DON'T GET ME WRONG

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I'M LOOKING KIND OF DAZZLED
I SEE NEON LIGHTS
WHENEVER YOU WALK BY

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF YOU SAY "HELLO" AND I TAKE A RIDE
UPON A SEA WHERE THE MYSTIC MOON
IS PLAYING HAVOC WITH THE TIDE
DON'T GET ME WRONG

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I'M ACTING SO DISTRACTED
I'M THINKING ABOUT THE FIREWORKS
THAT GO OFF WHEN YOU SMILE

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I SPLIT LIKE LIGHT REFRACTED
I'M ONLY OFF TO WANDER
ACROSS A MOONLIT MILE

ONCE IN AWHILE
TWO PEOPLE MEET
SEEMINGLY FOR NO REASON
THEY JUST PASS ON THE STREET
SUDDENLY THUNDER, SHOWERS EVERYWHERE
WHO CAN EXPLAIN THE THUNDER AND RAIN
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I COME AND GO LIKE FASHION
I MIGHT BE GREAT TOMORROW
BUT HOPELESS YESTERDAY

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I FALL IN THE 'MODE OF PASSION'
IT MIGHT BE UNBELIEVABLE
BUT LET'S NOT SAY "SO LONG"
IT MIGHT JUST BE FANTASTIC
DON'T GET ME WRONG
