MarcM Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Here is one that, quite literally, answers your question. Live It Up - Blondie "Blondie Live It Up lyrics" Your old lover's lying in the gutter He used to be such an all night strutter "Oh, my heart," I heard him mutter "Oh, my dear, it seems to flutter" Ah, ah It's so hard to say "No" When the deck is stacked to only go slow It's easy sweet to live it up An easy street when you've had enough Ah, ah Darkened night, splashing light Soft and white and so polite Let him in, beneath the rim Beneath the skin, your next of kin Cleansing fire, funeral pyre Broken wire grown inside her Secret hush, swollen rush It's soft and plush, it's so plush You know it's so passe To sleep without you every day So easy to do your stuff So easy to live it up Ah, ah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otokichi Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 While not quite Rock, it's not exactly Country, and it's all about...Life! Artist/Band: Carpenter Mary Chapin Lyrics for Song: I Take My Chances Lyrics for Album: Come On, Come On I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks I stood on the rails till I saw that train Just to see how my heart would react Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate And for them I would not disagree But I never learned nothing from playing it safe I say fate should not tempt me I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette I take my chances, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side I take my chances, I pay my dollar and I place my bet I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get I take my chances, I don't cling to remorse or regret I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get I take my chances I take my chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Is That All There Is? - Peggy Lee SPOKEN: I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire. I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement. I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire" SUNG: Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is SPOKEN: And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth. There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears. And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle. I had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was over, I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus? SUNG: Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is SPOKEN: Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world. We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. We were so very much in love. Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't, and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?" SUNG: Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all SPOKEN: I know what you must be saying to yourselves, if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment, for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself SUNG: Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Ken, I was thinking of that song straight away, but not being a huge KISS fan, I could not recall the name. I knew, though, that a certified member of the KISS Army would know. Carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
