Gordon Lightfoot sang a song
about a boat that sank
in the lake at the
break of the morn
and a cat named Stevens found
a faith he could believe
in and Joan Baez
never listened to too much jazz
but hippie songs could be
heard in our pad
Eddy rabbit sang about
how much he loved a rainy night
Devo Benatar were there
the day John Lennon died
Mr Springsteen said
he had a hungry heart
Grover Washington was happy
on the day he topped the chart
These are the songs
these are my heart songs
they never feel wrong
and when I wake for goodness sake
these are the songs
I keep singing
Quiet Riot got me started
with the banging of my head
Iron Maiden Judas Priest
and Slayer taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though
sometimes I would
listen to the radio
Debby Gibson
tell me that you think
we're all alone
Michael Jackson's in the mirror
Gotta have faith
if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up
this new love a wishing well
It takes two to make a
thing go right
if the fresh prince
starts a fight
Don't you worry for too long
'cause you know
These are the songs
these are my heart songs
they never feel wrong
and when I wake
for goodness sake
these are the songs
I keep singing
Back in 1991
I wasn't having any fun
'til my roommate said come on
and put a brand new record on
Had a baby on it
he was naked on it
then I heard the cold
that broke the chains
I had up on me
got together with my bros
at some rehearsal studios
then we played our
first rock show
and watched the fanbase
start to grow
signed the day
made a record all our own
a song comes on the radio
and now people go This is the song
These are my heart songs
these are my songs
they never feel wrong
never feel wrong
and when I wake for goodness sake
these are the songs
I keep singing
these are my heart songs
these are the songs
I keep singing
they never feel wrong
these are the songs
I keep singing
these are my heart songs
these are the songs
I keep singing
These are the songs
I keep singing
