Bright Lights, Big City
(jimmy reed)
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my babys head
Ah bright lights, big city
Theyve gone to my babys head
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you dont listen to what I said
Alright, pretty baby
Youll knock yourself out some day
Oh alright, pretty baby
Youll knock yourself out some day
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you dont listen to what I say

City Life
Orbison/dees
Coffer cafes dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But thats alright baby, its alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterdays news, a pedlar man selling what you cant use
Thats alright baby, its alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life
I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when youre around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town aint much unless youre here with me
Its like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, I cant get free from city life
Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
Thats alright baby, its alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I dont want to be alone, stay with me now, dont go home
Its a date, well stay out late and party, city lifes okay when youre with me
Its like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife cant get away from city life
City life baby, city life, its alright baby, its alright city life, city life....

Bright Lights
She got out of town on the railway, new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just cant change
Some things you cant see until it gets too late
[chorus]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they dont make sense
Some things you dont leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say
[chorus]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down, yeah
For God sakes turn around
[chorus]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
Yeah well, maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
Well, turn yourself around and come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home

Starstruck
Baby, you dont know what youre saying,
Because youre a victim of bright city lights,
And your mind is not right.
You think the worlds at your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, youre running around like youre crazy.
You go to a party and dance through the night,
And youll drink till youre tight,
And then youre out on your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, watch out or else youll be ruined,
cause once youre addicted to wine and champagne,
Its gonna drive you insane,
Because the worlds not so tame.
And youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Youre taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Dont you know that you are,
Starstruck on me.
And you always will be,
Starstruck on me.
Starstruck on me.

Downtown
When youre alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Thingsll be great when youre downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everythings waiting for you
Dont hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows, downtown
Or maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of the music that theyre playin
Making conversation while youre on the dance floor swayin
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
Youre gonna be alright now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along
So maybe Ill see you there
You can forget all your troubles
Just forget all your cares
And go downtown
Thingsll be great when youre downtown
Dont wait a minute more, downtown
Everythings waiting for you
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, youre going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown
Fade:
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, youre going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown

City Lights
Oh oh I feel the city rhythm
Oh oh I love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the partys over
I dont care Im coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
Home from work got your money in your pocket
Pull on your boots brand new suit
If you had the chance youd hock it
For a night on the tiles
And a shot of midnight fever
Get off your back get on the track
Tune in your receiver oh oh
Oh oh I feel the city rhythm
Oh oh I love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the partys over
I dont care Im coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
Truck down the street feeling kinda funky
Get on the beat shuffle your feet
Never know you might get lucky
You got love on the brain
Flashing like a neon
Feed 'em a line
Give 'em a sign
Theyre looking for a come on oh oh
Oh oh I feel the city rhythm
Oh oh I love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the partys over
I dont care Im coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
No way to stop when the musics in your body
Into the night feel all right
No time for feeling sorry
You go down to the club
With the old familiar faces
Buy 'em a drink kick up a stink
Everybodys going crazy oh oh
Oh oh I feel the city rhythm
Oh oh I love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the partys over
I dont care Im coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
Oh I love those city lights

Where its all kicking off
Baby its alright baby its alright
You dont need to call it off
Baby its alright baby its alright

We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From stoke-on-trent to beverley hills

Dont Stop
I can feel the night time coming
I can feel my resistance falling so low
Dont you know baby you got it
This hold on me
But I love just what youre doing
Oh youre all I need
When Im dancing with you girl
With the lights down low
The power you possess
You know I cant let go
Oh listen to me
Dont stop moving, baby
Tonights the night
Dont stop moving baby
Itll be alright
Cant you feel the fire burning?
It feels so right
Oh cant you feel my body yearning?
Hold me tight
Dont hold back, keep rising
Girl cant you see
All I need is your sweet loving
Oh to satisfy me
When you move your arms close
The magics in your eyes
You know you turn me on
Youve got me hypnotised
Oh let me tell you
Dont stop moving baby
Tonights the night
Oh dont stop moving baby

Listen to me, dont stop moving baby
Tonights the night

Stop, Look & Listen
(words & music by joy byers)
When I was a little bitty boy
Sittin on my papas knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet
A pretty woman walking down the street
Youd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or youll get in trouble
When you see her go struttin by
Giving you that evil eye
And shes got a kind of dreamy look
Just enough to get you shook
Now boy dont you lose your head
You pay attention what your papa said
Youd better
Stop real still, look both ways
Listen or youll get in trouble
All right !
Shell drive you crazy with the way she walks
Shell drive you crazy with the way she talks
And youll think youre gonna lose your mind
cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing youll know
Youll be tellin her you love her so
Youd better stop real still

Alright - Darius Rucker
Alright, alright
Yeah, it's alright, alright
I don't need no five star reservations,
I got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine.
I don't need no concert in the city,
I got a stereo and the 'Best Of Patsy Cline'.
Ain't got no caviar, no Dom Perignon,
But as far as I can see I got everything I want.
'Cause I got a roof over my head,
The woman I love layin' in my bed,
And it's alright, alright.
I got shoes under my feet,
Forever in the aisle staring back at me,
And it's alright, alright.
Yeah, I got all I need,
And it's alright by me.
Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river,
Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon.
It may not be no French Riviera,
But it's all the same to me as long as I'm with you.
May be a simple life but that's okay, yeah,
If you ask me baby I think I got it made.
'Cause I got a roof over my head,
The woman I love layin' in my bed,
And it's alright, alright.
I got shoes under my feet,
Forever in the aisle staring back at me,
And it's alright, alright.
Yeah, I got all I need,
And it's alright by me,
It's alright by me, yeah, yeah.
When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above,
For giving me everything I ever could dream of.
'Cause I got a roof over my head,
The woman I love layin' in my bed,
And it's alright, alright, alright, alright.
I got shoes under my feet,
Forever in the aisle staring back at me,
And it's alright, alright, alright.
Yeah, I got all I need, yeah, I got all I need,
And it's alright by me, oh yeah,
It's alright by me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
