Unchain my heart, Baby set me free
Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me
Why must I live in misery
When it's plain to see that you don't care about me
So unchain my heart Baby, set me free.

I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance
And you know darn well, that I don't have a chance
So unchain my heart, Baby set me free.

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans

by Redbone

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

I'm gonna tell you a story strange as it now seems
Of zombie voodoo gris gris and the witch-queen of New Orleans
She lived in a world of magic possessed by the devil's queue
From a shack near the swamp lands made of mud by brick
Marie stirred her witches brew

Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy voodoo of any kind
She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Early one mornin' into mucky swamp dew
Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes
Tho' she'll never return all the Cajuns knew
A witch-queen never dies

Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau ....

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street


Bourbon Street, Sting

and GRRR for defiling this place with Hanson!!

I'm goin' to Louisiana, and get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' to Louisiana, and get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna fix my woman so she can't have no other man

Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too
Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too
I woke up this morning,
I'm wondering, "What in the world am I gonna do?"

I lay down thinking, "Buy me a mojo hand."
I lay down thinking, "Buy me a mojo hand."
I did wanna fix my woman so she can't have no other man

But don't let your woman, fix you like mine fixed me
Don't let your woman, boy, fix you like mine fixed me
She make a fool about her, about as a fool can be

Now, can't a woman act funny, heheheheh, when she got another man
Can't a woman act funny, when she got another man
You know she won't look straight at you, and she's always raisin' sand.

ssssssaaaand.

Well, I'm going tomorrow, but I won't be gone long
I'm going tomorrow, but I won't be gone very long
I'm gonna get me a mojo hand, I'm gonna bring it back home

(spoken) That's what I'm gonna do.

* MOJO HAND * --> the great --> LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS

Re: Hanson -> heh heh heh! I went looking for a song from Barney that might have included "Bop", but I had to settle for the boys. Would you have rather I continued my search for the big purple dinosaur?

Maybe this will restore me to your graces:

Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
And it's all been done before
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
No more

Everybody Loves You Now, Billy Joel

I will always love you (Whitney Houston)

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you...
Bitter sweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Fiberbabe, you couldn't find a song with "Bop" in it?


I wanna bop with you baby, all night long
I wanna bop the night away
I wanna made it tonight like it used to be
When our hearts were young and our souls were free
I wanna bop, with you baby, all night long
I wanna be-bop, with you baby, 'till the break of dawn
I wanna bop, with you baby, all night long

"Bop"
~~Dan Seals

Imagination

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too
