Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
There's always a place for the angry young man with his fist in the air and his head in the sand. He's never been able to learn from mistakes, he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand Another serenader and another long haired band Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts, But I know the game, you'll forget my name, And I won't be here in another year If I don't stay on the charts.
So I would choose to be with you, That's if the choice were mine to make, But you can make decisions too, And you can have this heart to break
In every heart there is a room, A sanctuary safe and strong, To heal the wounds from lovers past, Until a new one comes along
Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.
In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along.
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.
I see the winos talking to themselvesAnd I can understand.
They all want your white body, and they await your reply.But, between you and me, and this Staten Island ferry... so do I...
And the word spread of Billy the Kid.
Rolling Stone magazine would not say anything positive about me, and they were the tastemakers at the time. There were people from the old guard who insisted I wasn't a real rock and roller. Well, O.K., fine -- I'm not a real rock and roller. You got me.
