Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Love And Emotion

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Love And Emotion

There's nowhere to run from the heat of the sun
There's nowhere to hide from your face
Black is the night, won't you show me the light
The road only leads to one place

For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive

There's nowhere to run from the things that we've done
There's nowhere to hide from the truth
Something is wrong when my woman is gone
My world ain't no good without you

For your love and affection
I give you my soul for all time
Faith as high as a mountain
Keeps me believin' you're mine

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh (for your love and emotion), oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Cherizar

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Cherizar

I'm gonna wait till the sun comes out and
I'm gonna wait till you come and shout it
Cherizar
Cherizar no matter where you are
Cherizar you'll always be my star
Cherizar no matter what you are
Cherizar I'll always be your darlin'
I'm gonna wait till the sun comes out
I'm gonna wait till you come and shout it
We're gonna kiss till the moon is drunk and
We're gonna love till noon has sunk it
Cherizar your heart is lonely
Though your first love not for me
Cherizar
Cherizar
Cherizar no matter where you are
Cherizar ....

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Valleys Of Valhalla

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Valleys Of Valhalla

Take me to heaven
On this cold norwegian night
My skin is unleaven
Untouched and so unsanctified
Feel the flame that burns my pegan soul

This sacred ingression
Is a sooth-said rhapsody
This carnel connection
Ignites my flesh with fantasy

A holocaust of love is rising now
Feel the fire
You inspire
Mesmerizer
Take me to the valleys of valhalla

A holocaust of love is rising now
Feel the fire
You inspire
Mesmerizer
Take me to the valleys of valhalla

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Stay With Me

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Stay With Me

Hey woman walking on a wire
I know your back is to the wall
What lies in water lies in fire
It's all in how you take the fall
Why don't you stay with me
Oh, lay with me
Don't turn the lights on me
Tonight on me
(stay with me)
The streets are cold in new york city
Why don't we break the ice
Now just like a fool I'll be feeling guilty
So just this once I won't think twice
Why don't you stay with me
Oh, lay with me
The only crime I see
Is killing time with me
(stay with me)
And oh, what a feeling
When I'm with you
You play with fire
What am I supposed to do
Hey woman life's too short to straddle
You're either right or wrong
So come on gamble
Just don't keep me hanging on
Why don't you stay with me
Oh lay with me
The only crime I see
Is killing time with me

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - A Song And Dance

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - A Song And Dance

Well bring on the band
And the melody man
Let the mockingbirds sing along
It's a wonderful life
And the night is young

Well ladies and gents
The gala presents
A symphony in disguise
It's a wonderful thing
The clouds in your eyes

I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer

Well life is a song
That goes on and on
From pittsburgh to peru
It's a wonderful world
Here with you

I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer

This is my song and dance for you this night
I've walked a mile to see you cheer

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - A Woman Crossed In Love

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - A Woman Crossed In Love

Can't stand this silence any more I'm dying
The words no sooner leave my lips
I'm out of your life in the beat of a heart
It was selfish it was cruel undeniably uncool
Have your way with me
Slap me twice across the face once for a stolen embrace
Once more for honesty

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

Call me shameless I don't care I love you
Desperate measures for desperate times
So much for the sway of a kiss
Darling here I am your ever-loving man
In his darkest hour
Had I known it meant goodbye I would have sooner lived a lie
Than live without you girl

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

So it's over like that pack you bags your coat and hat
End of story
Before I fade away hear me when I say
Baby I'm sorry

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The River Must Flow

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The River Must Flow

(The river must flow)
I love you, you're the one that I adore
And no man could love you more
It's like a river that flows to the sea
I need you like the jasmine needs the rain
Let your water cool my pain
Just like a river that flows to the sea
through love I will find the meaning of you
All my natural dreams will come true
It's like a river that flows to the sea
through love I will find a meaning in life
But the rain must fall down tonight
And like a river that flows to the sea
Oh yeah, the river must flow from me
(The river must flow)
From me
(The river must flow)
You're a falling star burning in my heart
Ah,ah
through love I will find the meaning of you
All my nat'ral dreams will come true
It's like a river that flows to the sea
through love I will find a meaning in life
But the rain must fall down tonight
And like a river that flows to the sea
Oh yeah, the river must flow from me
(The river must flow)
From me
(The river must flow)
(The river must flow)
(The river must flow)
From me (The river must flow)
From me (The river must flow)

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Surest Things Can Change

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Surest Things Can Change

I love you now
And I never want to change my mind
But love is strange
And the surest things can change
We carry love
More than we can stand to lose
But who can say
The things we feel this day
Are the things we feel in time

Oh how can I be sure
The sun will rise in days to come
And now that I am yours
The world is still for you and i

We carry dreams
Like children in the spring of life
But love is pain
And the purest things can change
Who can say
The things we feel this day
Are the things we feel in time

Oh how can I be sure
The sun will rise in days to come
And now that I am yours
The world is still in cloudless sky
But sad as rain
The surest things can change

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Black And Blue

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Black And Blue

Feelin' light and low
Like nothin I've felt before
My woman is black, but now she's blue
And I'm wonderin just what to do
(the day is new)

A motor-city love affair
In the heat of the night
A woman dark and debonair
Too hard to resist
The moment you've kissed

Feelin' good, feelin' down
Repercussions of a heavy heart
(torn apart)

The summer night is hot
But soon turns cold
Like a winter's song
(when something's wrong)

Oh lady black! please don't be blue
Wash the midnight with the morning dew
(the day is new)

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Where Am I Going

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Where Am I Going

Where am I going
Have I gone to far
Have I lost my mind
Where are my eyes
Oh have I seen to much
Have I lost my touch
Losing directions from growing infections
Poisoned desires of reaping life so young

What will I be like
When my head is bear
And my legs are weak
Will I be strong or barely keep alive
When I'm thirty-five
Reaching dimentions that shatter conventions
Leads me to fear that I'm growing old too soon

With every step and every breath
It's farther from youth and closer to death
And that things I've realized
Now beckon me to shut my eyes
And I will grow to the age of maybe eighty years
In such little time
With this venturous mind

What am I saying
Don't I know myself from experience
I'll never change
Nor cease to sail the sky
Till the day I die
I'll come to conclusion with fear or illusion
I'll live how I feel
Cause no matter how fast or how slow
Youth will go

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - People I Belong To

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - People I Belong To

Oh my father, he was a brother
He worked his body hard to make ends meet
Oh my mother remained his lover
The things they did, the things they said
Go 'round and 'round inside my head for good
Oh my brother, when he was a schoolboy
He gave up all his dreams to take on mine
Oh my brother, now I have me one other
The things we've said, the things we've done
Stay in my heart since I was young
And oh this world won't change for me
The special things in life are free
I've always known and understood
There are people I belong to for good
Oh my lady, she want my baby
She get me through my days and through my nights
Oh my lover, now I have me no other
The things we do, the things we say
I get more and more love each day
And oh this world won't change for me
The special things in life are free
I've always known and understood
There are people I belong to for good
Oh my mother and my father
And my brother and my lover
Oh my mother, oh and my father
And my brother and my lover

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Time Of Day

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Time Of Day

All the ghosts in the schoolyard
Young rebels with no dreams
Dying of old age
At seventeen
Some blame their mothers
For this unforgiving world
Others point the finger
At the flag the wind unfurls
But I say
You are the lock you are the key
You are the master of your destiny
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't give the devil the time of day
There's a face in the mirror
You don't recognize
So you shatter the lights
'cause they sting your bloodshot eyes
You walk on with a stranger
Who rolls your soul up in his wad
You place your trust in him
Like you once placed it in god
Well I say
You are the lock you are the key
You are the master of your destiny
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't give the devil the time of day
Caught between the cyclone fence and a red brick wall
Yeah, you melt like chocolate in the sun
Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on
And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun
(the time of day)
Don't you give him
(the time of day)
Don't you give him
(the time of day)
You are the lock you are the key
You are the master of your destiny
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't give the devil the time of day
All the ghosts in the schoolyard
Young rebels with no dreams
Dying of old age
At seventeen
Well I say
You are the lock you are the key
You are the master of your destiny
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play
Don't give the devil the time of day
Don't give the devil the time of day

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Shame

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Shame

The citys burning with desire
High-heeled chicks turnin tricks in a trance
Pin-stripe zombies on fire
Sayin hey baby, heres a dime for a dance
(out on the street)
I see innocent faces in the rain
(out on the street)
I see make-up runnin down from tears of pain
Down the drain

Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
For what papa did
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cause nobody wants to know

The neon moon turns red around midnight
Junior junkies and runaway girls
Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights
Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world
(out on the street)
Aint no room for no cheap talkin prayer
(out on the street)
You don't know what it's like till you're there
And you're runnin scared

Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go

So young
Yet so old
So hard to find a friend
She lives from lover to lover
Till there's nothing left of her
Yeah sweet daddy scores again

Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go

The world shouldve let you know
Cmon man let her go
Shame on the school
Shame on the teacher
Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature
Shame on the parish
Shame on the preacher
From where he stands that man don't have half a chance to reach her
Shame shame shame
On me and you
Shame shame shame
Now what are we goin to do

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Work Verse

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - The Work Verse

I've been slavin' my mind just to try to find a way out
And it's been on my brain just to put the blame on you
I've gotta find a way just to make my day a useful one
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show
I've got one free pass just to let me know
Hey babe it's a stagnant time
But it takes more than that to hang my coat and hat and sleep
I've gotta sweat once more till my bones feel sore
I tell you why
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show
I've gotta crash this prison and not let go
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress
'Cause I want work
I'll keep slavin' my mind just to try to find some kind of light
I'm gonna burn this damn ticket and think of tomorrow
And I won't live this long life in stagnation no more
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress
Cause I'm a man
And man's gotta work

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Moon Over Madness

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Moon Over Madness

There she lies, a vision in the dark
Invader of my heart
Look at me, behaving like a fool possessed
Damned if I'll be doomed
By this woman 'neath the moon over madness
Shall I kiss the mouth, stroke the hair
Undress her - do I dare
Or bite into the vein above her heaving breast
Ah, the sun best come up soon
There's no telling with the moon over madness
And when I see her face
The tuft of hair beneath the lace
I feel the fire of mortal men
As she draws a languorous breath
So full of life, so close to death
I'm filled with wild revenge
Shall I tear into her skin
Let the beast inside me win
I'm so uncertain
Or shall I fight my heart no more
Ease my lover to the floor
And loose my burden
What I'd give to know just what I am
A monster or a man
An angel born of Hell, or simply human flesh
One of which is in this room
Wondering 'neath the mood over madness
Shall I tear into her skin
Let the beast inside me win
I'm so uncertain
Or shall I end this lonely war
Ease my lover to the floor
And loose my burden
Woman won't you hold me in your arms
Before you come to harm
And take this tender love and drive it through my chest
Stike hard, do it soon
There's no telling with the moon over madness
My madness
Over you

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - People Gotta Move

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - People Gotta Move

People come on and do it right
Shake your behinds like dynamite
Chuck all your worries and toss your thighs
To be tame is a pain when you realize

You gotta move
People gotta move

Shake all your brains and pump your heart
Show all the world what you are
You come on for right, you come on for wrong, you come on for zeal
'Cause the tones of your bones makes you feel

You gotta groove
People gotta move

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Jehovah And All That Jazz

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Jehovah And All That Jazz

Hail to the shaman and his cardboard drum and the riffraff
Dancing in the sun
I sing for thee
Praise to the ugly and the dispossessed and the genius born of
The viper's nest
You have set me free
Hey, you cranks and you clowns with your heads hanging down
I bring good tidings to you
For all the talent that he has Jehovah don't play jazz like the devil do
See the rose sprung from the heap of dung
The shafthorse hot and heavy hung shamelessly
Check the star dust oozing in the mud on it pilgrimage to flesh and blood
Now ain't that you and me
Hey, you Shakespeares in rags little heretics and hags
To thine own self be true
Well, he may be beautiful and king but Jehovah he don't swing like the devil
Birdman, Birdman, what's the word, man
Into the night we go
Billie, Billie, knock me silly
Sing to me soft and low
Save me from losing my soul to a heaven as cold as ice
I'd sooner be a free man in hell than a prisoner in paradise
So I toot my toot for the man with roots
Hey, fifer on the E-flat flute play on, play on
All you sinners and you infidels you you artful madmen bound for hell
Come sing along
Come on, you potty-trained saints spouting' isms and ain'ts
Dig the poetry my man
Well all deference to his throne
Gabriel he don't play no saxophone like Coltrane can
Now, save me from losing my soul to a heaven as cold as ice
I'd sooner be a free man in hell than a prisoner in paradise
I'd sooner catch fire than kill my desire
Hail to the shaman and his cardboard drum and the riffraff
Dancing in the sun
I sing for you
For all the talent he has Jehovah don't play jazz like the devil do
Yeah, the devil do
Must admit he do
Ah, da devil do
Birdman, Birdman, what's the word, man
Into the night we go
Billie, Billie, knock me silly
Sing to me soft and low
Foll all the talent that he has Jehovah don't play no jazz ....

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Wild Horses

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - Wild Horses

As the sun goes down on the arizona plain
and the wind whistles by like a runaway train
hey hey hey it's a beautiful thing
well it's me and you and a flatbed truck
my heart kicking over like a whitetail buck
hey hey hey in the middle of spring

You can cut me deep
you can cut me down
you can cut me loose
don't you know it's okay
you can kick and scream
you can slap my face
you can set my wheels on a high speed chase
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

As the sky falls down from the midnight blue
spittin' like bullets on a hot tin roof
hey hey hey it's a beautiful sound
well it's me and you in a flatbed truck
in a foot of mud just my luck
hey hey hey a hundred miles out of town

You can call me a fool
you can call me blind
you can call it quits
can't hear a word you say
cause if I had you once
I'm gonna have you twice
I'm gonna follow my heart instead of good advice
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - How Much

Lyrics Gino Vannelli - How Much

How many tears must I cry
Before your heart is satisfied
How many flames must I walk through
Before I make it up to you

I wanna ask now how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh much does it have to hurt to make it right

I've been a fool I confess
But I know in your heart you love me no less
Just tell me how bad must my body ache
Before I live down my one mistake

I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
How much does it have to hurt to get back in your life

Just how much does it thrill you
To see me down on my knees
Don't you know I love you baby .... mercy please

I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh how much does it have to hurt to make it right
I wanna make it right

I keep wonderin' how much
I keep wonderin' how much
How many tears must I cry

Mama coco hey you're lookin heavy
Mama coco ho you're lookin' good

Mama mama so glad to have you here
