The Eagles

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 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)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys 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 nineteen sixty nine'
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)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The 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 night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

You don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes
I know what you wanna say
It's so hard to say goodbye

I can hold back my tears
And try to be strong
While our love is fallin' apart
I know what I'll say
If you walk away
But what do I do
What do I do with my heart?

I'm not gonna say a word
I know I can't change your mind
You know where you need to go
I know I'll be left behind

I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If you need to make a new start
But I still wanna know
When my arms let you go
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

Oh, girl, don't you remember?


It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do

Tell me you're not leavin' now
Tell me you're not leavin'
Tell me that you're gonna stay
Please say you'll stay with me, baby
Tell me that you love me still
Say you love me still
For this and this alone I pray
Fall down on my knees and pray

I'll do anything
Yes, I would
To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'll love you 'til death do us part
But what do I do
What do I do
When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

There′s a hole in the world tonight
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world tonight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There′s a hole in the world tonight
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world toniight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh, they tell me there′s a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the Promised Land

There′s a hole in the world tonight,
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
There′s a hole in the world tonight
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

(There′s a hole in the world tonight)
They say that anger is just love disappointed
(There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow)
They say that love is just a state of mind
(There′s a hole in the world tonight)
But all this fighting over who will be anointed
(Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow)
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There′s a hole in the world tonight
(Hole in the world)
There′s a cloud of fear and sorrow
(Fear and sorrow)
There′s a hole in the world tonight
(Ooooh)
Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
(Repeat 4x)

Please Come Home For Christmas
Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby′s gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candle light
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas
Yeah, it′s Christmas my dear
It′s the time of year to be with the one you love
So won′t you tell me
You′ll never more roam
Christmas and New Year
Will find you home
There be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I′ll be happy, happy, once again
Ooo, there be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I′ll be happy, Christmas, once again
