No Fortune
Written by gerry beckley, 1979
Found on silent letter.
We were dancin in the middle
We could hardly hold our heads up
I think we had too much to drink
I remember wondering what theyd think
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
We were thinkin bout the future
We were trying not to laugh
Then you made me cry instead
I remember wishing I was dead
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No fortune pays for wounds like these
Its been too long a time now please
Just say you will, we can call it a day
Its not as though we aint sinned
Its just a game we all play
There was nothing to win
Well Im coming home lady
Im your homecoming man
Trying hard to stand the rain
Gettin back on my feet again
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No fortune pays for wounds like these
Its been too long a time now please
Just say you will, we can call it a day
Its not as though we aint sinned
Its just a game we all play
There was nothing to win
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No fortune pays for wounds like these
Its been too long a time now please
Just say you will, we can call it a day
Its not as though we aint sinned
Its just a game we all play
There was nothing to win
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Dont Play Me
Dont play me
Im over 30 & I dont smoke weed
I put my ass away & music Ive played

Dont play me

Im in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda u prop in my way

Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Dont play me
U couldnt play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Dont play me I already do in my car
Dont play me
Dont be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how u call us niggers aint the same
Its all good when u know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy u get to say his name
Dont play me
Dont play me
Ive seen to the mountain top & it aint what u say
Dont play me
Already got laid

That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It
Kindergarten
King of excuses
Sister Mary Mojo so hard to trick
What can I say
Dog ate my homework
I could play the game
They love me anyway
Alibis, angles and tales from the tropics
Come to my mind so easy and quick
Spacemen from Mars stole all of my money
But I could play the game
They love me just the same
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got
Call me a liar, call me a writer
Believe me or not
Believe me or not
Women always know before you tell them
The younger girls so easy to trick
What's that word? I think I'm eccentric
But I can play the game
They love me anyway
Revelations
Love when they happen
Wizards and lizards I choose and I pick
In a hundred years this all won't matter
How you play the game
They love you just the same
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got
Call me a liar, call me a writer
Believe me or not
Believe me or not
I will play the game
I will stay the same
I will play the game
Believe me or not
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got
Call me a liar, call me a writer
Believe me or not
Believe me or not
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got
Call me a liar, call me a writer
Believe me or not
Believe me or not
I will play the game (I will play the game)
I will stay the same (I will stay the same)
I will play the game (I will play the game)
Again and again (again) and again
I will play the game (I will play the game)
I will stay the same (I will stay the same)
I will play the game (I will play the game)
Again and again (and again

You Cant Hurry Love
You cant hurry love
I need love, love to ease my
Mind
I need to find, find someone to
Call mine
But mama said you cant hurry
Love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love, no, youll
Just have to wait
Just trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
How many heartaches must i
Stand
Before I find the love to let
Me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps
Me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah its
Almost gone
I remember mama said
You cant hurry love
No youll just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
How long must I wait, how much more
Must I take
Before lonliness, will cause my
Heart, heart to break?
No, I cant bear to lve my
Life alone
I grow impatient for a love to
Call my own
But when I feel that i, i
Cant go on
These precious words keep me
Hangin on
I remember mama sayin you cant
Hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said trust, give it
Time
No matter how long it takes,
Gotta wait!
No love, love dont come
Easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft
Voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me
Tight
I keep waiting, I keep on
Waiting
But it aint easy (it aint
Easy)
No, you know it aint easy
When mama said
You cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said, trust give it time, no
Matter how long it takes
She said love dont come easy its a
Game of give and take

March On Down The Line
Lover out my way
Ill stand up to anything
Move on out this heartbeat
The sun is over
A new day, a new way
Im coming out this time
A new name, lets play the game
And march on down the line
Ive got lots to share
About the way I feel inside
Round and round this place
Like a shotgun fire
A new day, a new way
Im coming out this time
A new name, lets play the game
And march on down the line
(a-ha lets play the game)
A new day, a new way
Im coming out this time
A new name, lets play the game
And march on down the line
Now the fight is won
Stand attendant and tall again
God is on our side
Dance on up to heaven
A new day, a new way
Im coming out this time
A new name, lets play the game
And march on down the line
(a-ha lets play the game)
A new day, a new way
Im coming out this time

And march on down the line

It Aint Over
(j. spinks)
You ask me if times have changed
And I refuse to be a liar
Just like a fool Im still in love with you
Its been a long long time - but it aint over
You couldnt make up your mind but it aint over
If you need me call my name
Though my love is not for hire
Stop the pain start to live again
Its been a long long time - but it aint over
You couldn? t make up your mind but it aint over
I get hurt - each time you tell those little white lies
Cant sleep whats wrong I still think about you all night long
I you leave me nothing? s left
You could steal my heart? s desire
Dont be cruel i? m still in love in with you
Its been a long long time - but it aint over
You couldnt make up your mind but it aint over
I you need me call my name
If you leave me nothings left

Game Show
Last night we were watching this game show
They were talking bout marriage
And that stuff you know
I found myself laughing
Cause those couples werent clear
And then here he comes with this bright idea
So I said to him
I know you mean well
Youre genuine I can tell
Besides you and me
I know that we would soar
But are you ready?
You gotta be sure, you gotta be sure
Oh no, I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, youre price aint right, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Hey this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby youre price aint right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey this is my life, hold on
So were arguing
Talking about it back and forth
And forth and back as if there is no source
And now Im wondering
Is this what he had in mind?
Cause if I thought wed get through that door
Tell me whats gonna be my price
So I said to him
Game show, game show, game show

Wheels Of Fortune
Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter / john hartman
Caught up in wheels of fortune while youve been asleep
Come on, give it up, you got whats comin to you
No use for you to struggle, now youre in too deep
Its gonna be a long, long time before its through
Changin wheels of fortune
Drivin us on and on
Winnin, sometimes losin
As soon as its here its gone
Im so tired of losin
But I still play the game
And I know theres no reason
Still I go on searchin just the same
Well, Ive kicked around your city
Seen your vanity
Mister society, can you hear me
You get your satisfaction and you cover all the action
But your loaded dice wont help you in the end
Changin wheels of fortune
Drivin us on and on
Winnin, sometimes losin
As soon as its here its gone
Im so tired of losin
But I still play the game
And I know theres no reason
Still I go on searchin just the same

Heart to break?

Its Not That Serious
Music: rodney jerkins lyrics: cory rooney, jennifer lopez, rodney jerkins, lauren dawson
How could you tell me that you love me
When I know you were just trying to play me
But youre the fool
cause I know how to switch the game up on you
And in the end I know who will lose
I played this game before
And I cant play no more
What do you take me for
Its not what you thought
So dont play games with me
cause I play to teach
And if you want to cheat
It wont be on me
Chorus (2x) :
Its not that serious
I never put that much thought into us
It wasnt that I loved you
I was curious
Who did you think that you were involved with
Now baby you should know that it aint that serious
It should concern you that Im always one step ahead of you
So that should let you know that what you do
I have done before, its nothing new
So run those games on someone who cant be fooled
I can almost see lies coming through your teeth
In every word you speak you make it clear to me
That youre playing wrong and your game aint strong
Ive been in this too long, so just be moving on
Chorus (2x)

This Old Road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams
Smiling aint so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothings simple as it seems
But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That youre dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know
Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road
Thinking of the faces in the window
That you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Say you tried to chase the sundown
And you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you ?

They sing a little song for the people
And they sing a little song for me

Keep on smiling - every girl and boy
Remember when u were children u had toys
Wherever u r, think of your dreams
Remember that dreams become the life u lead
Whatever u play, its okay 2 lose
Ooh sometimes (sometimes...)
As long as u learn from every game u choose
If one thing is sure, ull always endure
If u try your best at everything u do
Say what u mean and mean what u say
The price 4 a broken heart - its 2 much 2 pay
And nothing is worth it, if u dont have 2 try
The higher the stakes - the higher the sky
Wherever u go, whatever u do
Please remember
Remember that Ill always be there 4 u

Craving
I wandered through the streets
Hoping to be found
Do you wanna meet
Do you wanna feed
There is this empty place
Its the hunger I feel inside
There is this killing game
And my head will rol
There is this waiting game
Today there is this wall
My soul is not my own
Today I want to forget
At night I hear this call
Play this killing game
I listened to a name
Listened to the craving
Do you remember
There was a time
A very moment
The anger I feel inside
Do you remember
When all colours died
Do you remember
Bland and blind
All the craving was mine
I want to forget
Shadows
I want to forget
Shadows
There is this killing game
And my head will roll
There is this waiting game
Today there is this wall
My soul is not my own
Today I want to forget
At night I hear this call
Play this killing game

Do You Know
All you seem to do want to do
Is break my heart
Seems to me
Were a lot better off apart
Time was when you took
A pride in puttin me down
Well Ive some news for you
Thats gonna turn ya around
I got no time for no crazy lady
And the games you wanna play
cause a love like mines
Gonna take some time
You cant save it for a rainy day
Well, l do you know
Do you know
Do you know what
Im trying to say
Loves not a game
Its never the same
You gotta live your love
From day to day
Lonely days are long and
Sad nights are so black
Then I get right down thinkin
Maybe I could take you back
Till at mornin light
A new face appears at my door
As a kinda reminder that
I aint seein you no more

Hold Back The Rain
Were miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesnt have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane
People tell me, I havent changed at all
But I dont feel the same
And I bet youve had that feeling too
You just cant laugh all the time
And if the fires burn out theres only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause were on the roam again.
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please.. hold back the rain
-
So what if the words aint rhyming
Did you think that its just a game
I probably didnt even say that right
And I really dont give a damn
Okay go off and wander
Im guilty just the same
Sometimes youre needed badly
So please come back again
(chorus)
-
And if the stars burn out, theirs only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause were on the roam again.
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please.. hold back the rain

Ill Be Here A While
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But Ill see it through in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could
Blind my vision and sight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everythings going to be alright
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Said i, said i, said i, I will survive
