The curtain girl
I have been down a rough road
I have been through the freezing cold
I have been an outsider with no where to go
oh I dont know?
I just get up and on with the show
I have been up a high hill
I have been through the crazy mill
I have been an insider with no one to know
oh I dont know?
I just get up and on with the show
I have been here for too long
I have been a lovin you all wrong
I have been nodody coz your love isnt strong
oh I should know?
when I get up the curtains they close.

Show Dont Tell
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
How many times do you hear it?
It goes on all day long
Everyone knows everything
And no ones ever wrong
Until later
Who can you believe?
Its hard to play it safe
But apart from a few good friends
We dont take anything on faith
Until later
Show dont tell
Show me dont tell me
Youve figured out the score
Show me dont tell me
Ive heard it all before
Show me dont tell me
I dont care what you say
Show me dont tell me
You can twist perceptions
Reality wont budge
You can raise objections
I will be the judge
And the jury
Ill give it due reflection
Watching from the fence
Give the jury direction
Based on the evidence
I, the jury
Show me dont tell me
Hey --- order in the court
Show me dont tell me
Lets try to keep it short
Show me dont tell me
Enough of your demands
Show me dont tell me
Witness take the stand

Thank You
I was young (bop)
And didnt have no where to run
I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)
Whats in front of me (na-na-op)
There had to be, a better way
To show Im grateful (hum)
So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin me so long
You dont know how much you mean to me
Chorus:
Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
All through my life
I knew that youd be my world
Knowing every where I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
Youve seen me through
I sure enough couldnt have survived without you
And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin me so long
You dont know how much you mean to me

Got To Move On
Every time you walk away
Theres so many things that I like to say
It isnt me so it is you I dont know what Ive gotta do
When youre here Im feeling down feeling down
What I feel here inside
I know it isnt right, no
Cause i........ dont need you by my side
Cause I have other things in my mind
I dont want you here with me
Cause I know you dont love me
So Ive got to be strong, got to move on
The only thing Id like to say
Is that I cant give you my love every day
I dont know what is wrong (and) in a minute youll be gone
And for how long has this been going on?
What I feel here inside
I know it isnt right, no
Cause i........ dont need you by my side
Cause I have other things on my mind
I dont want you here with me
Cause I know you dont love me
So Ive got to be strong got to move on
I dont want you here with me
So Ive got to move on
I dont want you here with me
So Ive got to be strong
I dont want you here with me
Cause I know you dont love me

Love Dont Love You
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
Verse 1:
You said youd always be there
You said youd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I cant control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that somethings wrong, yeah
The more that I fight with you
The more I realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (its got to be you, baby)
Love dont love you, love dont care (not love, baby)
Verse 2:
I thought I never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead I was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will I ever learn
Cant blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (love dont love you)
Love dont love you, love dont care (got to be you)
Love dont love you (love dont care about you, no way, no way, no way)
Love dont care no way
Bridge:
You see it takes a fool to learn
That love dont love nobody (got to be you)
But Ive learned
That love dont love me
And it sure cant love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Dont just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me
You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
Im gonna be there for you
Love dont love no one
And it sure dont care
Love dont love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care

Angry All The Time
(with back up by faith hill)
(bruce robison)
Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife with four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
And Im not old but Im getting a whole lot older every day
Its too late to keep from goin crazy
Ive got to get away
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
An I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
And you aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now the spittin image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And I remember every time I said Id never leave
But what I cant live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
And you aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
An sometimes I dont know why this old world cant leave well enough alone
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
You aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time

Lovin You Against My Will
(jamie ohara)
I dont wanna hurt nobody
Dont wanna make nobody cry
I dont wanna do wrong, I dont wanna do wrong
I dont wanna tell no lies
Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Lovin you, lovin you against my will
I dont wanna hear the phone ring
Dont wanna hear your voice on the line
I dont wanna come to you, I dont wanna come to you
I dont wanna give in this time
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Your love is like a deep dark river
Pullin me out to sea
The harder I try to resist you
The weaker I seem to be
I dont wanna turn down your side street
I dont wanna pull in your drive
Dont wanna see you standin there, dont wanna see you standin there
Dont wanna see that look in your eyes
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Your love is like a deep dark river
Pullin me out to sea
The harder I try to resist you
The weaker I seem to be
I dont wanna feel your heartbeat
I dont wanna taste your kiss
I dont wanna call your name, I dont wanna call your name
I dont wanna want you like this
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Lovin you, lovin you against my will

I Just Dont Like This Kind Of Livin
Written and recorded by: hank williams, sr.
[d] I just dont like this kind of livin
Im tired of doin all the [a7] givin
I [d] give my all and [d7] sit and yearn
And [g] get no lovin [g7] in return
And I [d] just dont [a7] like this kind of [d] livin.
Why [g7] do we stay together
We al-[d] ways fuss and fight
[g7] you aint never known to be wrong
And [d] I aint never been [a7] right;
[d] tell me where you think were goin
cause I aint got no way of [a7] knowin
When [d] things go wrong, you [d7] go your way
You [g] leave me here, to [g7] pay and pay
And [d] I just dont [a7] like this kind of [d] livin.
I just dont like the things youre doin
Your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start runnin smooth and free
You haul right off and you pick on me
And I just dont like this way of livin.
They say the road of love is long
Its rocky and its rough
But if this road dont start to get smooth
Ive traveled it long enough;
Why dont you act a little older
And get that chip off of your shoulder
Ive told you once, now Ill tell you twice
You better start to treat me nice
cause I just dont like this way of livin.

I Cant Hide
I got a secret
Its here in my heart
And I cant even tell my friends.
How much I adore you
Im fallin apart
I got to kept it deep within.
The way that I love you
I cant even say I promise not to
Tell a soul
It wont last too long, a feeling so strong
And I cant hide the way.

I cant hide the way Im feeling inside
The pain is killing me
Cause I want to let the world know
Its you Im lovin
I cant hide the way Im feeling inside
The pain is killin me
Cause I want to let the world know its you Im lovin.
Its something so special, this thing that we share
So why cant we just let it go
Its easy to see
Can they know that we should be as one.
Its out in the open
Our cover is blown and I dont care who really knows
I need to be with you
Cant take it no more, cause baby I need you.
(bridge)
Lovin you feels so right,(lovin you feels so right)
I dont want to have to live a lie ( I dont want to lie)
The way you touch, the way you kiss drives me out of my mind
(Ill never love)
Boy Ive never loved this way before baby
So Ive given you the keys to my door
With every touch I want you more
Dont want to let my feelings show
I cant hide.
Chorus
Im not afraid to let my feelings show
I cant hide them no more (no more)
Cause no matter what they say
Its never gone to change the way that I feel for you
Cause boy I love (I love you )

For you cuz you were wit me
Something let me thinking that whatever happens

Cuz Im gonna be about lovin you
I wont talk about comin home
Cuz Im gonna be about comin home
I wont talk about both of us
Cuz Im gonna be about both of us
I wont talk about makin sweet love
Cuz Im gonna be about makin sweet love
Now I remember when we used the crib in studio 12a
Clothes and pallets on the floor makin sweet love night till day
Used to say I wanna have a baby boy and call him man
But now its all gone up in smoke and baby I dont understand
All I know that is I was wrong

How could I have stooped so low
(how could I have stooped so low)
I wrote a song about it

Now all the money in the world couldnt add up to what you did
Cuz when I was down and out you took the burden off of me
I never thoguht that when I took her out somehow itd cause me pain
I was rooming at the drake, how the hell you found my name
Damn I was wrong (I was wrong)
How could I have stooped so low
(how could I have stooped so low)
I wrote a song, yeah
All about it, here it go, from now on

Cold As Ice
I dont think you understand
Oh the rhythm of my heart
Theres a strong line to mind and soul
I feel it tearing apart
Ive been searching for new words
Gonna make you understand in a different way
When I told you Id hang on forever
I threw my choice away
And its cold as ice
I cant let go
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
And I wish I could have been the first one
Oh to walk out the door
The more I find myself to blame
The less there is to come back for
You wish you could have been the last one
To tell me how you really feel
Cause when you closed the door oh deep inside
My heart it still seemed so sincere
And its cold as ice
I cant let go oh
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
Its cold as ice
I cant let go
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
If theres a message to this madness
Well it still seems quite unclear
If I really need to save myself
Why cant I just walk out of here
Theres a message in your eyes
And you make it perfectly plain
Either I leave your heart behind
Or crack beneath this freezing
Freezing freezing freezing rain
Cold as ice
(cold as ice)
I cant let go
(but I cant let go)
Cold as ice
Baby but i
But I need your love
All right
I said Im cold
Cold Im cold
(cold as ice)
Cold Im cold
(baby)
Cold Im cold
(cold as ice darling)
Cold as ice
(cold as ice)
Oh no but I cant let go
(I said Im freezing, freezing)
Oh no no I cant let go

No no Im cold as ice

I Dont Believe In Miracles
Written by russ ballard, 1980
Found on alibi.
I walk along the road and past your door
Then I remember things you said
I know in time we couldve been so much more
But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead
But I dont believe in miracles
I dont believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are
I believe I was your game, your ball (your ball)
If you tossed me up then I would fall
And so youve won again, ah, you win them all
But I believe Id run to you, if you should call
But I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
I believe that somewhere theres someone
Whos gonna light the way when things go wrong
The bullet that shot me down came from your gun
The words that turned me round were from your song
But I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are)
But I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
I dont believe in miracles (dont believe in miracles)
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are

Love Alone
When she calls my name
Nobody says it quite the same
Gives me a feeling I never knew
Makes me so happy loving her.
Love and love alone
Id wait a life just to have it here.
Love is all I know and that cant be wrong.
Its sometimes hard to see
Love isnt bought well its got to be
There for a reason you want to share
To show somebody you care.
Love and love alone
Conquers the world that can be so cold.
Love is how we show just what we feel.
Its enough for me cant say I need anything else.
Love is here to be had by us all
Dont cheat yourself.
I can say it now
Someday well all be there somehow
Everyone singing, love leads the way
til then Im counting every day.
Love and love alone
Id wait a life just to have it here.
Love is all I know and that cant be wrong.

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin
You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And theres no tenderness like before
In your fingers tips
Youre tryin hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.
Youve lost that lovin feeling
Oh, oh that lovin feeling
Youve lost that lovin feeling
Now its gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
Now theres no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now youre startin to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin, baby
'Cause baby, something beautifuls dyin.
Youve lost that lovin feeling
Oh, oh that lovin feeling
Youve lost that lovin feeling
Now its gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby Id get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love

So dont, dont, dont let it slip away.

Dont Let It Show
Lead vocal: dave townsend
If its getting harder to face every day
Dont let it show, dont let it show
Though its getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you dont know me
And if it helps when they say Im to blame
Say you dont own me
Even if its taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Dont give in
Dont tell them anything
Dont let it
Dont let it show
Even though you know its the wrong thing to say
Say you dont care, say you dont care
Even if you want to believe theres a way
I wont be there, I wont be there
But if you smile when they mention my name
Theyll never know you
And if you laugh when they say Im to blame
Theyll never own you
Even if you feel youve got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Dont give in
Dont tell them anything
Dont let it
Dont let it show

Flying so high
Feeling so low
Fill my empty heart
Dont say no
Can I get through this night, with some lovin to show
Wont you show me the way to go--i dont know
Wont you open your eyes
I know you really care
You see these games you play
Theyre just not fair
After all the good times and secrets weve shared
Wont you show me the way to go--i dont know
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place with the loved ones
Well I still cant see how things were meant to be
Love me even for one day Ill treat you like a lady
In my heart youll stay forever you know
Wont you show me the way to go--i dont know

Another Piece Of Meat
Music :rudolf schenker, herman rarebell
Lyrics:herman rarebell
Met her down at that tokyo place
Loved her pretty face
I said: hey, youre alright, so alright!
I was sitting in her car
She told me: youre a star and I know you.
She said: take me home.
I need love so strong
Come on and knock me out, oh!
Ive been too long alone
I want hot love, you know, and I need it now!
She said: hey, lets go, dont put on a show
Youre just another piece, another piece of meat
She said: hey, lets go, dont put on a show
Youre just another piece --
Another piece of meat.
Next day she took me out
To a rough kick boxing show
Violence really turned her on, oh no
She was screaming for more blood
Loved it more than any drug I couldnt stand it
I said: hey, lets go, dont put on a show
Youre just another piece, another piece of meat
Said: hey, lets go, dont put on a show
Youre just another piece --
Another piece of meat.
