At Seventeen Lyrics
Janis Ian
"At Seventeen"
I leaned the truth at seventeen that love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles who married young and then
retired.
The valentines I never knew, the Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful.
Boy I Really Tied One On Lyrics
Boy I really tied one on
Spent the night away from home
I know you're not to blame
if I can't recall your name
and I'm sorry if it causes you pain
Boy I really lost my head
I woke up in a double bed
Allow me the pleasure
of taking your measure
though I'm sure you ain't
nobody's
Dance With Me Lyrics
And when the war was over
I went dancing in the streets
with the corpse of my dead brother
to the sacrificial beat
the Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires
come home from overseas
singing Glory Hallelujah!
to the swank Gestapo beat
Hallelujah
I've never been
In the whole of my life
From Me To You Lyrics
I'm leaving by night
I'm leaving alone
I'm leaving it lie
When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me
As I would not beg for you
Though I'd like to be the one
To see you through
Every step you have taken
Disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken
With changing your
In The Winter Lyrics
The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices
Other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid
The operator
She tells the time
It's good for a laugh
There's always radio
And for a dime I can talk to God
Dial-a-prayer
Are you there?
Do you ca
Lover's Lullabye Lyrics
Lay down and slumber
Mama's boy is torn asunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown
Let me tell you a story
Lay own, I know you're weary
While the star's in the sky
While the moon's on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake till morning
Close your eyes and h
Roses Lyrics
She never had too much of money
Friendly strangers were all she knew
Nobody ever came to call but you
I would not say she isn't happy
though the eyes of a fool
will make her blue
Nobody's ever seen the tears
It's true
I guess nobody wanted to
We'll have a celebration
Ice cream a
Silly Habits Lyrics
I'm still in love
though I don't care
to let you know
there's something there
it doesn't show
but when you're near
silly habits mean a lot
I've been alone now
for quite some time, it's true
but every night when I come home
I'm coming home to you
I listen for your footsteps

Some People Lyrics
Faithful is a lie
Freedom's just a game
somebody tacked onto
your ball and chain
Love is a drug
You've been canonized
Want to be a high priestess?
then you got to sacrifice
Somebody wants you
to put out your eyes
and drag you lower
on the ladder than he is
Reel you in slowly

Stars Lyrics
I was never one for singing
what I really feel
Except tonight, I'm bringing
everything I know that's real
Stars, they come and go
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light
of the sun, all in a blaze
and all you see is glory
But it gets lonely there
when there's no one h
Sweet Sympathy Lyrics
I want to lie by your side
and watch the tide run over
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I want to lie by the bed
and send my head out reeling
Honey, lay this feeling down
I'm ready to ride
(chorus)
Sweet sympathy, won't you
pity me tonight?
Yes I got to hurry
to the surry

This Must Be Wrong Lyrics
I gave a party
I said you could come
You showed up at your door
with all your leathers on
I said This must be wrong
It can't be right
How can you make love to me
dressed up for a fight?
Pick me up off the floor
No more -- 'cause you surely
can't be mine
Religion came
almost over
When The Party's Over Lyrics
Would you like to learn to sing?
Would you like to sing my song?
Would you like to learn to love me best of all?
Anyone can learn the words
And the melody's so plain
This is my song to bring you back again
I'll teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And whe
