I've updated my superhard list of hard to find song lyrics, any help finding these is super-appreciated. I am trying to collect every song to reach the top 100 during the 80s. Anyone who contributes to the project will be given a copy of the set when it's complete (or as close as I can get it)

http://inthe80s.com/excell/Book2.htm

if anyone wants to type in song lyrics for one of these songs (transcribe), I do have the mp3 for all of them, and I'm happy to mail it to you, provided you mail the lyrics back when you're done. I know some of these are not online, but some of them might be, so before you offer to type one up, wait a couple of days to see what people turn up..

I'm now half-way through my search of the master list. Out of 2000 songs I've looked for, these are the ones I couldn't find.

If anyone is interested in helping me speed up my search, I could always give you a list of 500 or so that I haven't yet tried finding.. if three people offered to check 500 or so, I could know by the end of next week the stuff that's not available on the Internet. I try and find 100 or so every day.. and I spend a little over a 90 minutes in the process..

Song Title - Count Your Blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

You can't say I love you
Too many times, oh...
Simple things mean so much
Like when was the last touch, when was the last kiss
When did you hold 'em like this

I almost lost the one I love
Searchin' 'round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Oh, let me pass this on to you

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count my blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

Though they don't complain
Doesn?t mean that there's no pain
To forget is the worst
So always put them first, thinkin' of their needs
Make them the one you please

I almost lost the one I love
Searching 'round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Let me pass this on to you

If you don't see eye to eye
Come close to sayin' goodbye
Think how far you've come
The victories you've won

What's kept you through the years
Was to dry each other's tears
Memories you recall
Let's you know you have it all {Woo}

I almost lost the one I love
Searchin' 'round for something new
Before you make the same mistake
Ooh, let me pass this on to you

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget, ooh...

I had to learn, learn a lesson {Yes, I did}
Never forget to count your blessings {Woo}
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings
I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

I had to learn, learn a lesson
Never forget to count your blessings

Shame
The Motels

A very simple statement
A very simple crime
A lot of grief reflecting in how we spend our time
I want to change things
I want to make a change
I'm tired of spending time agonizing yesterdays

Shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on every little thing that we do
Shame on me
Shame on you
Now's there's only one thing that we can do.


Another empty day
Another day comes true
A lot of selfish dreams are waiting here for you
I've got to have you
I've got no one to blame
It's just the two of us
With nothing left to say
But..

Shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on every little thing that we do
Shame on me
Shame on you
Now there's only one thing we can do

Shame on me
Shame on you
Shame on me
Shame on you
I've got to change things
I've got to make a change
I'm tired of spending time agonizing yesterdays

Shame on me
Shame on you

Wang Chung
Don't Let Go


(Jack Hues / Nick Feldman)

I got your letter
I felt so scared to
Pick up the paper knife and read within
I read the contents
I got what you meant
I know its hard for you but don't give in
Maybe, maybe slow things go fast
Maybe, maybe its all in the past

Chorus:
Oh oh if you need me don't let go - oh
(You know I'll never give up on you)
Oh oh if you need me don't let go - oh
(You know I won't give up on you)
oo oo - oo oo oo - oo
You know I'll never give up on you

I phoned the station
For information
To try and get the times of trains to York
And on the platform
I saw your hatform
A kind of halo in the crowd - crush talk

But baby baby don't run away
Maybe, maybe it's just today

Repeat Chorus

I saw your sad face
You dropped your suitcase
And I appreciate the state you're in
You mustn't hurry
You mustn't worry
I know it's hard on you but don't give in

Maybe, maybe slow things go fast
Maybe, maybe its all in the past

Repeat Chorus

Cinderella- The Last Mile

Cinderella- The Last Mile

OOh

OOh yeah!

Me and Billy boy and old lady Jane
We hitched a ride took a fast movin train
got to the top with our heads spinnin round
You never know just what you got until it's comin' back

Down on the farm in the Mississippi shade
The folks down there they told me
Take it day by day

CHORUS
And walk the last mile (before I sleep)
It'll be awhile (before I get my peace)
Last Mile (I walk slowly)
The last mile (I can rest my feet)

I got a long way to go before I reach the light of day
Monkey's on my back I gotta find a better way
Same ole stroy never get just what you want
The more you get the more you want
so tell me to and get picked up
I guess I've always been a traveling man
Cause when I'm movin I can make a stand yeah, yeah

CHORUS

Don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
Look around me everybody's trying to win
