Hotel California (Eagles)

Hotel California

 On a dark desert highway

 Cool wind in my hair

 Warm smell of colitas

 Rising up through the air

 Up ahead in the distance

 I saw a shimmering light

 My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim

 I had to stop for the night

 There she stood in the doorway

 I heard the mission bell

 And I was thinking to myself

 This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

 Then she lit up a candle

 And she showed me the way

 There were voices down the corridor

 I thought I heard them say

  Welcome to the Hotel California

 Such a lovely place

 Such a lovely place (background)

 Such a lovely face

 Plenty of room at the Hotel California

 Any time of year

 Any time of year (background)

 You can find it here

 You can find it here

  Her mind is Tiffany twisted

 She’s got the Mercedes bends

 She’s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

 That she calls friends

 How they dance in the courtyard

 Sweet summer sweat

 Some dance to remember

 Some dance to forget

 So I called up the Captain

 Please bring me my wine

 He said

 We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969

 And still those voices are calling from far away

 Wake you up in the middle of the night

 Just to hear them say

  Welcome to the Hotel California

 Such a lovely Place

 Such a lovely Place (background)

 Such a lovely face

 They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California

 What a nice surprise

 What a nice surprise (background)

 Bring your alibies

  Mirrors on the ceiling

 Pink champagne on ice

 And she said

 We are all just prisoners here

 Of our own device

 And in the master’s chambers

 They gathered for the feast

 They stab it with their steely knives

 But they just can’t kill the beast

 Last thing I remember

 I was running for the door

 I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

 Relax said the nightman

 We are programed to recieve

 You can check out any time you like

 But you can never leave

Heartache tonight (Eagles)

Heartache Tonight

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone

Before the night is through

Somebody’s gonna come undone

There’s nothin’ we can do

Everybody wants to touch somebody

If it takes all night

Everybody wants to take a little chance

And make it come out right

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

Lord, I know

Some people like to stay out late

Some folks can’t hold out that long

But nobody wants to go home now

There’s too much goin’ on

This night is gonna last forever

Last all, last all summer long

Sometimes before the sun comes up

The radio is gonna play that song

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

Lord, I know

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

The moon’s shinin’ bright

So turn out the light

And we’ll get it right

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone (somebody)

Before the night is through

Somebody’s gonna come undone

There’s nothin’ we can do (everybody)

Everybody wants to touch somebody

If it takes all night

Everybody wants to take a little chance

And make it come out right

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

Let’s go

We can beat around the bushes

We can get down to the bone

We can leave it in the parkin’ lot

But either way there’s gonna be a

Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight,

I know

Oh, I know

There’ll be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

After the thrill is gone (Eagles)

AFTER THE THRILL IS GONE

Same dances in the same old shoes,

some habits that you just can’t lose.

There’s no telling what a man might use

after the thrill is gone.

The flame rises but it soon descends,

empty pages and a frozen pen.

You’re not quite lovers and you’re not quite friends

after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone.

      What can you do when your dreams come true

      and it’s not quite like you planned?

      O-OH What have you done to be losing the one,

      you held it so tight in your hand, well.

Time passes and you must move on,

half the distance takes you twice as long.

So you keep on singing for the sake of the song

after the thrill is gone.

      You’re afraid you might fall out of fashion

      and you’re feellng cold and small.

      O-OH Any kind of love without passion,

      that ain’t no kind of loving at all, well.

Same dances in the same old shoes,

you get too careful with the steps you choose.

You don’t care about winning but you don’t want to lose

after the thrill is gone, after the thrill is gone,

after the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone.

Witchy woman (Eagles)

WITCHY WOMAN (B. Leadon, D. Henley)

Raven hair and ruby lips,

sparks fly from her finger tips.

Echoed voices in the night,

she’s a restless spirit on an endless flight.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

She held me spellbound in the night,

dancing shadows and firelight.

Crazy laughter in another room

and she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

   I know you want to love her but let me tell you, brother,

   she’s been sleepin’ in the devil’s bed.

   There’s some rumors goin’  round, someone’s underground,

   she can rock you in the night until your skin turns red.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.

     Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

The best of my love (Eagles)

THE BEST OF MY LOVE (D. Henley, G. Frey, J. D. Souther)

Every night I’m lyin’ in bed

holdin’ you close in my dreams,

thinkin’ about all the things that we said

and comin’ apart at the seams.

We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough.

I know you were tryin’ to give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,

look at the way that we live.

Wastin’ our time on cheap talk and wine

left us so little to give.

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above

but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ you get the best of my love

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ you get the best of my love

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE

   I’m goin’ back in time and it’s a sweet dream,

   it was a quiet night and I would be alright

   if I could go on sleeping.

But every mornin’ I wake up and worry

what’s gonna happen today.

You see it your way and I see it mine

but we both see it slippin’ away.

You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn’t enough.

Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ every night and day

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oh

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ you get the best of my love

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN’ you got it

      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (fade)
