180.0. "LYRICS SERVER" by MPGS::TURNER (The Bear that Beers the Kirin's Name) Fri Aug 26 1988 21:37

   We've all  run  into  the  situation, I'm sure, where we've bought a used
   album  and  it's missing the lyrics... or we've bought a new album and it
   simply  doesn't  -have-  the  words... or we've borrowed a home-made tape
   from  a  friend  and  don't  have  the words... Well, there's a temporary
   solution to the problem!

   There is  an  automated  LYRICS  SERVER  based  out  of the University of
   Massachusetts'  CYBER  computer  system.  To  receive  the  help file and
   instructions, simply send a subject-less message to:

		decwrl::"lyrics%umass.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu"

   The only  text  in  the message should be the one word "help". The server
   should  respond  within the hour. There are currently at least 150 albums
   on  the  server for your perusal. There are also instruction available on
   how to enter lyrics to the server.

   Have fun!

180.2Snivel Whine Mewl Whinge Beg...SUBURB::BURKEGIt's Different For Girls...Tue Sep 06 1988 14:2917
    
    Hello, Had a look at the server, some great bits on it (you can
    tell the compilers taste, 5 Kate Bush albums and loadza Deep Purple)
    However I need some help.....
    
    I cannot find the words for the Jo Jackson tune "It's Different
    for Girls" ANYWHERE. Ive looked in all the music shops in reading
    and no one has them. They are also not listed in the Lyrics Server.
    I've Recently learned some Neat Chords to play along to It (a la
    Pete Lincoln of the Boozy Blues Bar) and I'm Desperate for the words.
    
    	****PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE GROVEL SNIVEL CRAWL****
    
    Can anyone put me out of my misery?
    
    May your souffles never sink in the middle
    Al Saalam al Sidiki.

	What the hell is wrong with you tonight
	I can't seem to say or do the right thing
	Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
	Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

	She said - I can't believe it
	You can't - possibly mean it
	Don't we - all want the same thing
	Don't we
	Well who said anything about love
	No not love she said
	Don't you know that it's different for girls
	You're all the same

	Mama always told me save yourself
	Take a little time and find the right girl
	Then again don't end up on the shelf
	Logical advice leaves you in a whirl

	I know - a lot of things that
	You don't - you wanna hear some
	She said - just give me something
	Anything
	Well give me all you got but not love
	No not love she said
	Don't you know that it's different for girls
	You're all the same

180.12BOOTIS::BAILEYMind Set Transfer In ProgressMon May 22 1989 00:4015
At last!! the lyrics to Joy Divison songs!!!

mind you... I allways thought the line in Twenty Four hours was


"X is the platform beyond all reach"
(which after a hard day with the X lib programmers reference made a lot
of sense) actualy turns out to be..


"Excessive flash points,
beyond all reach"


and its just not the same any more...
