Title: After The Thrill Is Gone
-----------------

Same dancers in the same ol' shoes,
Some habits that you just can't lose,
There's just no tellin' what a man might do,
After the thrill is gone...

Flame rises, but it soons descends,
Empty pages and a frozen pen.
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends,

Artist : Eagles, The
Title : Dirty Laundry
-----------------
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up

I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a Bible
In the other I've got a gun
Well, don' you know me
I'm the man who won
Woman don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams,
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams.

We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
Look at the way that we live,
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give.
