@ALBUM: Eagles Greatest Hits: Volume 2 @SONG: Hotel California On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be Heaven or this could be Hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place (background) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year Any time of year (background) You can find it here You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany twisted She's got the Mercedes bends She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the Captain Please bring me my wine He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely Place Such a lovely Place (background) Such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise What a nice surprise (background) Bring your alibies Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice And she said We are all just prisoners here Of our own device And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax said the nightman We are programed to recieve You can check out any time you like But you can never leave @SONG: Heartache Tonight Somebody's gonna hurt someone Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone There's nothin' we can do Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance And make it come out right There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Lord, I know Some people like to stay out late Some folks can't hold out that long But nobody wants to go home now There's too much goin' on This night is gonna last forever Last all, last all summer long Sometimes before the sun comes up The radio is gonna play that song There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Lord, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight The moon's shinin' bright So turn out the light And we'll get it right There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody) Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone There's nothin' we can do (everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night Everybody wants to take a little chance And make it come out right There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know Let's go We can beat around the bushes We can get down to the bone We can leave it in the parkin' lot But either way there's gonna be a Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight, I know Oh, I know There'll be a heartache tonight A heartache tonight, I know @SONG: Seven Bridges Road There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go. There is moonlight and moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road. Now I have loved you like a baby... Like some lonesome child, And I have loved you in a tame way, And I have loved you wild. Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn from here and go... Running like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road. There are stars in the southern sky. And if ever you decide you should go, There is a taste of time sweet and honey Down the Seven Bridges Road. @SONG: VICTIM OF LOVE What kind of love have you got? You should be home but you're not. A room full of noise and dangerous boys still make you thirsty and hot. I heard about you and that man. There's just one thing I don't understand. You say he's a liar and he put out your fire, how come you still got his gun in your hand? Victim of love, I see a broken heart. You got your stories to tell. Victim of love, it's such an easy part and you know how to play it so well. Some people never come clean, I think you know what I mean, oh. You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire, lookin' for love in between. Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine. This ain't no time to be cool. And tell all your girlfriends, your "been around the world" friends that talk is for losers and fools. Victim of love, I see a broken heart. I could be wrong but I'm not, no, I'm not. Victim of love, we're not so far apart. Show me what kind of love have you got. Victim of love, I see a broken heart. I could be wrong but I'm not. Victim of love, we're not so far apart. What kind of love have you got? Victim of love, you're just a victim of love. I could be wrong but I'm not, no, I'm not. Victim of love, now you're a victim of love. What kind of love have you got? What kind of love have you got? What kind of love have you got? @SONG: The Sad Cafe Out in the shiny night the rain was softly falling The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away Out of the silver light the past came softly calling And I remembered the times we spent Inside the Sad Cafe Oh, it seemed like a holy place Protected by amazing grace And we would sing right out loud The things we could not say We thought we could change this world With words like "love" and "freedom" We were part of the lonely crowd Inside the Sad Cafe Oh, expecting to fly We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by Some of their dreams came true Some just passed away And some of them stayed behind Inside the Sad Cafe The clouds rolled in and hid that shore Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more Now I look at the years gone by And wonder at the powers that be I don't know why fortune smiles on some And lets the rest go free Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all There's no use in asking why It just turned out that way So meet me at midnight, baby Inside the Sad Cafe Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby Inside the Sad Cafe @SONG: LIFE IN THE FAST LANE He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome And she was terminally pretty She held him up and he held for ransom In the heart of the cold, cold city He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude They said he was ruthless said he was crude They had one thing in common They were good in bed She said, "Faster, faster. "The lights are turning red." Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane Are you with me so far? Eager for action hot for the game The calling attraction the drop of the name They knew all the right people They took all the right pills They threw outrageous parties They paid heavenly bills There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race Out every evening until it was light He was too tired to make it she was too tired to fight about it Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Everything all the time Life in the fast lane Glowing and burning blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign Took a turn for the worse She said, "Listen baby. You can hear the engine rev. "We've up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing." He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash." "The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash." They were rushing down that freeway, Messed around and got lost They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Everything all the time Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane @SONG: I Can't Tell You Why Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark? Ooh-oh Every time I try to walk away Somethin' makes me turn around and stay And I can't tell you why When we get crazy, it just ain't right (Try to keep your head, little girl) Girl, I get lonely too You don't have to worry, just hold on tight (Don't get caught in your little world) 'Cause I love you Nothin's wrong as far as I can see We make it harder than it has to be And I can't tell you why -no,baby I can't tell you why I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Somethin' makes me turn around and stay And I can't tell you why, no, no, baby I can't tell you why I can't tell you why I can't tell you why @SONG: NEW KID IN TOWN There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar. Great expectations, everybody's watching you. People you meet they all seem to know you, even your old friends treat you like you're something new. Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town, everybody loves you, so don't let them down. You look in her eyes, the music begins to play. Hopeless romantics, here we go again. But after a while you're looking the other way. It's those restless hearts that never mend. Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town, will she still love you when you're not around? There's so many things you should have told her but night after night you're willing to hold her, just hold her tears on your shoulder. There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you that it doesn't really matter which side you're on. You're walking away and they're talking behind you. They will never forget you till somebody new comes along. Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town. Everybody loves him, don't they? Now he's holding her and you're still around, oh my my. There's a new kid in town, just another new kid in town. Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town. Oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town. THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN I don't want to hear it THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN everybody's talking THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN people started walking THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN (repeat & fade) @SONG: THE LONG RUN I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot, I used to stay out till the break of the day. Oh that didn't git it, it was high time, I quit it, I just couldn't carry on that way. Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true. Didn't know I was so lonely till I found you. You can go the distance. We'll find out in the long run. IN THE LONG RUN We can handle some resistance if our love is a strong one. IS A STRONG ONE People talkin' about us, they got nothin' else to do. When it all comes down we will still come through in the long run. Ooh I want to tell you it's a long run. You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better, do the crazy things that you do. 'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby, couldn't hold a candle to you. Did you do it for love, did you do it for money? Did you do it for spite, did you think you had to, honey? Who is gonna make it? We'll find out in the long run. IN THE LONG RUN I know we can take it if our love is a strong one. IS A STRONG ONE Well we're scared but we ain't shakin', kinda bent but we ain't breakin' in the long run. Ooh I want to tell you it's a long run. @SONG: AFTER THE THRILL IS GONE Same dances in the same old shoes, some habits that you just can't lose. There's no telling what a man might use after the thrill is gone. The flame rises but it soon descends, empty pages and a frozen pen. You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone. What can you do when your dreams come true and it's not quite like you planned? O-OH What have you done to be losing the one, you held it so tight in your hand, well. Time passes and you must move on, half the distance takes you twice as long. So you keep on singing for the sake of the song after the thrill is gone. You're afraid you might fall out of fashion and you're feellng cold and small. O-OH Any kind of love without passion, that ain't no kind of loving at all, well. Same dances in the same old shoes, you get too careful with the steps you choose. You don't care about winning but you don't want to lose after the thrill is gone, after the thrill is gone, after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone. ============================================================================== No matter what you say, it never gets any better No matter what you do, we never see any change -Phil Collins (Colours) ============================================================================== Nianque | | There is no such thing as a good day, | just one that isn't quite as bad as (kgruel@goober.mbhs.edu) | all the rest.
