Van Halen – Without You

Hey you, wake up, get yourself together
yeah you, so you think you made it better
’cause you know it’s coming at you
While your back is turned
Look too long and I can’t help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind

First you say that you will
Then you say you won’t
Well I’m just trying to figure
Try and figure you out

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there’s a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can’t do it all
Without you, without you

Hey fool, wise up, better late than never
Yeah you, you know that nothing lasts forever
Nobody ever told you that your
Time is running out
Too bad and I can’t help you

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there’s a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can’t do it all
Without you, without you

The point i’m trying to make
You got to give more than you take
You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

Van Halen – The Trouble With Never

You often wonder,
you wanna know.
How deep does
the rabbit hole go?

I know you never thought about it
but ask yourself later:
When you turn on your stereo
does it return the favor?

I gotta know!

That’s the trouble with never,
(It) sure seems like a mighty long time.
That’s the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

Hello!

Every Einstein’s assigned
a Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.
Any old fool could see,
never even wonder.

Yeah we could come together.
I will call for you.
Hey, never’s good for me.
How’s never sound to you?

1-800-Tell-Me-Baby!

That’s the trouble with never,
(It) sure may be a mighty long time.
That’s the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

Yeah!
Level with me baby!
Talk to me!

[Solo]

This could
damage your reputation:
my wicked wicked ways,

but maybe I just will
since you put it that way.

Delusions of eloquence?
You never can say.

You wanna play
the game?
You can’t quit when you get played.

“Mistakes make people.”
Isn’t that what people say?

Let’s un-plan the moment,
dance the night away.

Selective amnesia
is only a heartbeat away.

A simple question
concerning time:
“Suppose you wait forever
and then you change your mind?”

Oh, No!

That’s the trouble with never,
sure could be a mighty long time.
That’s the trouble with never.
When was the last time
you did something for the first time?

When was it?
When was it?
Ah, text me baby!

When baby?
Tell me!
When was the last time baby?
Show me!

Van Halen – Once

Once embraced, can’t ever be let go
Once revealed, can’t ever be not shown
Once believed, can’t ever lose faith
Once shared, can’t ever be separate
Once sown, once can’t ever be not reaped

Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. Can you feel it?

Once born, can’t ever be not conceived
Once present, can’t ever be past
Once first, once can’t ever be not everlast

Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. Can you believe it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?

Once seen, can’t ever lose sight
Once dawn, can’t ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can’t ever be untouched

The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it’s greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?

(Oh!)

Oh! Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh-oh really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
I don’t know. Did you tell me?
Have you ever really touched
Once. Whoa-oh really, really touched?

Could it ever be too much?
Oh-ooh somebody tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once?

Ah, have you ever really touched
Love once?
Have you ever really touched love
Touched love?
Woooo-ooooo
Woooo-ooooo
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo
Oh, love once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Van Halen – From Afar

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it’s like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there’s a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I’ll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I’ll just, I’ll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time
I can’t seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

I don’t know what it’s like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

Van Halen – Dirty Water Dog

No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don’t belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I’d trace
I’m just a sucker for a pretty face

Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position’s always been a little left of cynical
I’m fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don’t wanna find religion
Or another man’s opinion
I Can’t choose what’s not my decision
When there’s only one under the sun
There’s no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what’s your sign?

Can’t comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I’d rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I’m just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin’ a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s he gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin’ a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s he gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, like a hound dog, chasin’ a bird

And I think I like
A dirty water dog
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

Van Halen – Big River

Wind at my back,
face in the sun.
All my big ideas done.

Big river
rollin’.

Listen to a sea shell
you can hear the sea.
Listen to a beer glass
that river belongs to me.

Big river
rollin’.

There’s a river runs here.
When it rains we flood.
Co-op City first 3 floors
of Charles River mud.

Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!

Land’s edge,
where the East begins,
the debris meets the sea
when the tide comes in.

Oh, look out!

Look both ways now.

[solo 1]

Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!

Big river.
Big river.
Oh, yeah!

Van Halen – Beats Workin’

Here today, gone later today.
I’ve been reading what the bloggers say.
How about a great big slice for me?
Otherwise or professionally.

Beats workin’.
Startin’ up in my feet.
Goes to workin’
on the rest of me.

Live this life of luxury
sho-nuff beats workin’ for me.
Kid’ll land on his feet
if he don’t land on his seat.

This beats workin’ baby
‘cause I’m red hot
baby like it or not.

Don’t you know that
this beats workin’ baby
‘cause I’m red hot
baby like it or not.

One empty floor
stands between the stage
and the welfare door.

Heads or tails
of the same bread.
Coin of the realm
just like the man said

Beats workin’.
Starting up all in my feet.
Goes to workin’
on the rest of me.

Got a feelin’ all in my head.
Try to do it
like the good book said.
Kid’ll land on his feet
if he don’t land on his head.

This beats workin’ baby
‘cause I’m red hot
baby like it or not.

Don’t you know that
this beats workin’ baby
‘cause I’m red hot
baby like it or not.

Van Halen – Blood and Fire

Always tell the weirdos …
I’mma lose the vision ..
I’m gonna live …
Come back like …
If I can feel the thunder
One hundred a time!

Chorus:
Oh yeah, we came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
Oh yeah, we came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

Now look at other people
Yeah, tonight!
It’s a world of foes
I just…expecting
None of them know it,
Or even suspected..
Put so many of them high
