The Last Resort (Eagles)

THE LAST RESORT

She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island

where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air.

She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee,

just as her father came across the sea.

She heard about a place people were smilin’,

they spoke about the red man’s way, how they loved the land.

And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide

seeking a place to stand or a place to hide.

Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,

can’t wait to tell you all what it’s like up there.

And they called it paradise, I don’t know why.

Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high.

Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert,

through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu

where the pretty people play hungry for power

to light their neon way and give them things to do.

Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught ‘em,

put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought ‘em.

And they called it paradise, the place to be,

they watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea.

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

just like the missionaries did so many years ago.

They even brought a neon sign ‘Jesus is Coming’,

brought the white man’s burden down, brought the white man’s reign.

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?

‘Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.

We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds

in the name of destiny and in the name of God.

And you can see them there on Sunday morning

stand up and sing about what it’s like up there.

They called it paradise, I don’t know why.

You call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye.

New York minute (Don Henley)

New York Minute

Harry got up dressed all in black

Went down to the station and he never came back

They found his clothing scattered somewhere down the track

And he won’t be down on Wall Street in the morning

He had a home, the love of a girl

But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl

One day he crossed some line

And he was too much in this world

But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

Things can get pretty strange

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

Lying here in the darkness I hear the sirens wail

Somebody going to emergency

Somebody’s going to jail

If you find somebody to love in this world

You better hang on tooth and nail

The wolf is always at the door

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

Things can get a little strange

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

And in these days when darkness falls early

And people rush home to the ones they love

You better take a fool’s advice

And take care of your own

One day they’re here, next day they’re gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders

And took a walk down through the park

The leaves were falling around me

The groaning city in the gathering dark

On some solitary rock

A desperate lover left his mark,

"Baby, I’ve changed. Please come back."

What the head makes cloudy

The heart makes very clear

The days were so much brighter

In the time when she was here

But I know there’s somebody somewhere

Make these dark clouds disappear

Until that day, I have to believe

I believe, I believe

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

You can get out of the rain

In a New York minute

Everything can change

In a New York minute

Love will keep us alive (Eagles)

Love Will Keep Us Alive

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you given me the will to survive

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

Don’t you worry

Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride

The world is changing

Right before your eyes

Now I’ve found you

There’s no more emptiness inside

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

Now I’ve found you

There’s no more emptiness inside

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you given me the will to survive

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

When we’re hungry... love will keep us alive

Get it over (Eagles)

Get Over It

I turn on the tube and what do I see

A whole lotta people cryin’ "Don’t blame me"

They point their crooked little fingers at everbody else

spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves

Victim of this, victim of that

Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat

Get over it

Get over it

All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit

Get over it, get over it

You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash

But you might feel better if they gave you some cash

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right

Let’s kill all the lawyers - kill ‘em tonight

You don’t want to work; you want to live like a king

But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing

Get over it

Get over it

If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split

Get over it, get over it

It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak

You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak

Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down

Complain about the present and blame it on the past

I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it

Get over it

All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Victim of love (Eagles)

VICTIM OF LOVE

What kind of love have you got?

You should be home but you’re not.

A room full of noise and dangerous boys

still make you thirsty and hot.

I heard about you and that man.

There’s just one thing I don’t understand.

You say he’s a liar and he put out your fire,

how come you still got his gun in your hand?

      Victim of love, I see a broken heart.

      You got your stories to tell.

      Victim of love, it’s such an easy part

      and you know how to play it so well.

Some people never come clean,

I think you know what I mean, oh.

You’re walkin’ the wire, pain and desire,

lookin’ for love in between.

Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine.

This ain’t no time to be cool.

And tell all your girlfriends, your "been around the world" friends

that talk is for losers and fools.

      Victim of love, I see a broken heart.

      I could be wrong but I’m not, no, I’m not.

      Victim of love, we’re not so far apart.

      Show me what kind of love have you got.

      Victim of love, I see a broken heart.

      I could be wrong but I’m not.

      Victim of love, we’re not so far apart.

      What kind of love have you got?

      Victim of love, you’re just a victim of love.

      I could be wrong but I’m not, no, I’m not.

      Victim of love, now you’re a victim of love.

      What kind of love have you got?

      What kind of love have you got?

      What kind of love have you got?
