Lindsey Buckingham (2021)



















 

Scream lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Days start walking, worlds start talking

Nobody getting any rest

Down in the valley, hearts dilly-dally

'Til the sun starts setting in the west


Nighttime's the time I love so much

Lost in the language of your touch

Just like you're waking from a dream

Oh, I love you when you scream

Oh, I love you when you scream


Down at ground zero, looking for a hero

Take anything that we can get

Over and over, red red rover

'Til the sun starts setting in the west


Nighttime's the time I love so much

Lost in the language of your touch

Just like you're waking from a dream

Oh, I love you when you scream

Oh, I love you when you scream


Nighttime's the time I love so much

Lost in the language of your touch

Just like you're waking from a dream

Oh, I love you when you scream

Oh, I love you when you scream


Nighttime's the time I love so much

Lost in the language of your touch

Just like you're waking from a dream

Oh, I love you when you scream

Oh, I love you when you scream

Oh, I love you when you scream

I Don't Mind lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Oh, my love, the sky is burning

So much left to do

You and I must still be learning

Always something new


I don't mind

Weeping willow

On my pillow

I don't mind

I don't mind

Broken arrow

Straight and narrow

I don't mind


Yesterday, today, tomorrow

End before they start

Where there's joy, there must be sorrow

Never far apart


I don't mind

Weeping willow

On my pillow

I don't mind

I don't mind

Broken arrow

Straight and narrow

I don't mind


On and on and on we go now

Rain will fall and winds will blow now


I don't mind

Weeping willow

On my pillow

I don't mind

I don't mind

Broken arrow

Straight and narrow

I don't mind


I don't mind

I don't mind

I don't mind

I don't mind

On The Wrong Side lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Every now and then I fall

Every now and then I rise

When my back's against the wall

Still sometimes I compromise

Living life in overload

That's the way it's always been

But this world is getting old

Living life just for the win


I'm out of pity, I'm out of time

Another city, another crime

I'm on the wrong side


Waiting for the night to come

Waiting for the moon to rise

Wondering just what have I done

That I never realized

Time is rolling down the road

Love goes riding in a hearse

We were young and now we're old

Who can tell me which is worse?


I'm out of pity, I'm out of time

Another city, another crime

I'm on the wrong side


I'm out of pity, I'm out of time

Another city, another crime

I'm on the wrong side

I'm on the wrong side

Swan Song lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 It's another night

Has the queen lost her sight?

She hesitates, she contemplates

She says it's late

And that the future's looking bright


But is it right to keep me waiting

Is it right to make me hold out so long

It isn't right to keep me waiting

In the shadow of our swan song


It's another fight

As the queen dims the light

It's far too late at any rate

It's up to fate

It always ends up black and white


But is it right to keep me waiting

Is it right to make me hold out so long

It isn't right to keep me waiting

In the shadow of our swan song


Is it right to keep me waiting

Is it right to make me hold out so long

It isn't right to keep me waiting

In the shadow of our swan song


It isn't right to keep me waiting

Is it right to make me hold out so long

It isn't right to keep me waiting

In the shadow of our swan song

Blind Love lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 You feel love

But you never give it to me

You steal love

When you're looking right through me

The last act

Keeps on knocking at the door

I wait and wait

But I can't hold out any more


Blind love, show me your soul

If you've been lying to me

I've got to know

Blind love, open your hand

If you've been playing a part

I've got to understand


I rock on

Just as if I really knew you

I talk on

Though it means so little to you

The last act

Is a shadow in the night

You close your eyes

When you don't want to see the light


Blind love, show me your soul

If you've been lying to me

I've got to know

Blind love, open your hand

If you've been playing a part

I've got to understand


Blind love, show me your soul

If you've been lying to me

I've got to know

Blind love, open your hand

If you've been playing a part

I've got to understand

If you've been playing a part

I've got to understand

Time lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Some people run

Some people crawl

Some people don't even

Move at all

Some roads lead home

Some roads lead back

Some roads are bathed in white

Some wrapped in fearful black


Time, oh time

Where did you go?

Time, oh good good time

Where did you go?


Some people never get

Some never give

Some people never die

And some never live

Some folks treat me mean

Some treat me kind

Most folks just go their way

Don't pay me any mind


Time, oh time

Where did you go?

Time, oh good good time

Where did you go?


Sometimes I'm satisfied

Sometimes I'm not

Sometime my soul is cold

Sometimes it's hot

Sunset I laugh

Sunrise I cry

At midnight I'm in between

And wondering why


Time, oh time

Where did you go?

Time, oh good good time

Where did you go?

Blue Light lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Still crying about joy, still laughing about pain

Bathed in the fire burned by the rain

Is it too much or not enough

If you win or lose it's all the same


Sometimes our hearts may break

And we might lose our sight

When the candlelight is burning with original sin

We can never never never never never give in

Sometimes our hearts may break

And we might lose our sight

But we'll never never never never never give in

To the house, to the house of blue light


Still dreaming about hope, still hoping about dreams

'Cause nothing is quite what it seems

A children's song so beautiful

But who can say just what that means


Sometimes our hearts may break

And we might lose our sight

When the candlelight is burning with original sin

We can never never never never never give in

Sometimes our hearts may break

And we might lose our sight

But we'll never never never never never give in

To the house, to the house of blue light


Sometimes our hearts may break

And we might lose our sight

But we'll never never never never never give in

To the house, to the house of blue light

Power Down lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Lies, lies are the only thing that keeps us alive

Time isn't the one that's on your side


Woke up one day and them tears were glistening

I called your name, but no one's listening

Power down, power down

Power down


Far, far in between these wounds I mend

You said your beginning was my end


Woke up one day and them tears were glistening

I called your name, but no one's listening

Power down, power down

Power down


It's now or never, isn't it

It's now or never, isn't it

Remember or we might forget


You wait in the dark to see the light

I stumble to see if you're alright


Woke up one day and them tears were glistening

I called your name, but no one's listening

Power down, power down

Power down


Power down, power down

Santa Rosa lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Out on that west side road

We build our home with heart and soul

Oh no I can't let go again

Now you want to leave it behind

Looking for something you won't find

Oh no this can't be so again


If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

Out where nobody knows you

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

That world is gonna close you


If you're going kiss me goodbye

Colors changing tear in my eye

Oh no I can't let go again

It doesn't matter what you say

I'm gonna love you any old way

Oh no this can't be so again


If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

Out where nobody knows you

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

That world is gonna close you


If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

Out where nobody knows you

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go to Santa Rosa

If you go, if you go

That world is gonna close you

Dancing lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 Poor little raven how she's lost her way

Buys all she can, but she can't seem to pray

All those who love her just wasting away


Dancing

Dancing


Love and surrender have all been and gone

Hope disappears but the memory lives on

All those who love her just wait for the dawn


Dancing

Dancing


Oh in this world that no one wants to know

How will we get along?

Oh see the girl with no place to go

This is her song


Promises, promises already banned

Emptiness goes where supply meets demand

Business and murder they go hand in hand


Dancing

Dancing

Dancing

Dancing

Lindsey Buckingham / Christine McVie (2017)













Sleeping Around The Corner lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 She called to me

Meet me at the border

Wake me up when my papers are in order


Lord I don't want to bring you down

No, I never meant to give you a frown

I'm just sleeping around the corner


Lord I don't want to bring you down

No, I never meant to give you a frown

I'm just sleeping around the corner


We made sweet love over and over

She said oh sweet darling

I'm your little red rover


Lord I don't want to bring you down

No, I never meant to give you a frown

I'm just sleeping around the corner


I'm just a kiss away

From where you don't know

If you want me to stay

You got let me

You got to let me go


She said to me, I don't mean to scorn you

But I've been lying

And I've been too scared to warn you


Lord I don't want to bring you down

No, I never meant to give you a frown

I'm just sleeping around the corner


Lord I don't want to bring you down

No, I never meant to give you a frown

I'm just sleeping around the corner

Feel About You lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 You're so far away,

I wonder if you hear what I say

This love for you I can't conceal


That's how I feel,

You are the sky at night,

Black and white

Green and blue

That's how I feel

You're so beautiful, beautiful

That's how I feel about you

That's how I feel about you


You're honey in my tea,

Your jam, it tastes the sweetest to me

This love for you I can't conceal


That's how I feel,

You are the sky at night,

Black and white

Green and blue

That's how I feel

You're so beautiful, beautiful

That's how I feel about you

That's how I feel about you


You're so far away,

I know that you'll be back any day

I am a magnet, you are steel


That's how I feel,

You are the sky at night,

Black and white

Green and blue

That's how I feel

You're so beautiful, beautiful

That's how I feel about you

That's how I feel about you

That's how I feel about you

That's how I feel about you

In My World lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Fare

Farewell heart of gold

Maybe we're lost without a cost

Of stories that we've told


In my world everybody stays

Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say

Bless my soul

Let the night unfurl

Dancin' spinnin' dreamin'

Singing in my world


Fare

Farewell liberty

Maybe we're lost without the cost

Of who we used to be


In my world everybody stays

Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say

Bless my soul

Let the night unfurl

Dancin' spinnin' dreamin'

Singing in my world


Lay

Lay down

For a bout

Take your time to cross the line

All without a doubt


In my world everybody stays

Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say

Bless my soul

Let the night unfurl

Dancin' spinnin' dreamin'

Singing in my world


In my world everybody stays

Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say

Bless my soul

Let the night unfurl

Dancin' spinnin' dreamin'

Singing in my world


In my world everybody stays

Nobody wishes for words they couldn't say

Bless my soul

Let the night unfurl

Dancin' spinnin' dreamin'

Singing in my world


Red Sun lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 I wonder where you are

As I fall upon my bed

And I think about the way we were

So much left unsaid

I wonder what you're doing

As I walk along the shore

You took your love away from me

When I only wanted more


Sometimes I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

And it's worse for me at night, you know

When the red sun kisses the sea


Slowly breaks the dawn today

Heralded by the sun

My favorite time of day

Or so I thought when we began

My mind is filled with journeys

Echoed with your smile

No, you won't take that away from me

Even if you tried


Sometimes I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

And it's worse for me at night, you know

When the red sun kisses the sea


Sometimes I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

And it's worse for me at night, you know

When the red sun kisses the sea


Sometimes I wonder

Do you ever think about me?

And it's worse for me at night, you know

When the red sun kisses the sea

Love Is Here To Stay lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Tender was your miracle

Tender was your whispered voice

As I lay this soul to rest

Even though I stayed too long

Even though I had no choice

I will do what I do best


Wind blows one way

Time goes

But love is here to stay


When the stars come out at night

When the moon is full enough

I will lay this soul to rest

Brook of flowers, hearts of stone

Even though I played too rough

I will do what I do best


Wind blows one way

Time goes

But love is here to stay


In the blue and gray

We ran out to play

Seems like yesterday


Tender was your miracle

Tender was your whispered voice

As I lay this soul to rest

Even though I stayed too long

Even though I had no choice

I will do what I do best


Wind blows one way

Time goes

But love is here to stay


Wind blows one way

Time goes

But love is here to stay

Too Far Gone lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Something's creepin' and crawlin' down my spine

Lips are tinglin' and I'm feelin' so fine

I see you look at me

The way you shouldn't do

I know it darling

'Cause I feel the same way too


Too far gone to turn around

Too far, goin' underground

Too far gone


I know what I'm feelin'

It's just a waste of time

'Cause I love you darlin'

Can't get you out of my mind

Maybe I'll move to the other side of town

Find some place where I can't see you look around


Too far gone to turn around

Too far, goin' underground

Too far gone


Too far gone to turn around

Too far, goin' underground

Too far gone

Too far


Too far gone to turn around

Too far, goin' underground

Too far gone


Too far gone

Yes I'm too far gone

Too far gone

Yes I'm too far gone

Lay Down For Free lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Strange music echoed in my head

I waited for words left unsaid

The rains came and washed away my fear

I heard you whisper in my ear


I won't lay down

Lay down for free

I won't lay down

Lay down for free

For free

For free


I touched you

But you were not alone

I reached for you

But you were not at home

I stood by beside our broken bed

Her voice said, calling in my head


I won't lay down

Lay down for free

I won't lay down

Lay down for free

For free

For free


I won't lay down

Lay down for free

I won't lay down

Lay down for free

For free

For free

Game Of Pretend lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Did I say too much, darling?

Did I give

Give the game away?

Was it that touch that set off the thunder?

More than words could ever say


'Cause you are the reason for my happiness

And I am so blessed

So blessed to find you

You take, take away the emptiness

And I will follow, follow behind you


Did I want too much, baby?

Did I cause you too much pain?

You burn so bright just like a fire

More than words could ever say


'Cause you are the reason for my happiness

And I am so blessed

So blessed to find you

You take, take away the emptiness

And I will follow, follow behind you


I guess I'll never know, dear

'Cause I can't see this end

My heart is where you go, dear

No more games

Game of pretend


'Cause you are the reason for my happiness

And I am so blessed

So blessed to find you

You take, take away the emptiness

And I will follow, follow behind you

On With The Show lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 Dead on the ground

I am making a sound

I am too proud to drown

Too proud to drown

As long as I stand

I will take your hand

I will stand with my band

Stand with my band


There's nowhere to go

But on down the road

Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


Waiting too long

But there's no right or wrong

Only where I belong

Where I belong

There'll come a day

When we all feel the same

And we live for the game

Live for the game


There's nowhere to go

But on down the road

Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


There's nowhere to go

But on down the road

Let's get on with the show

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on with the show


Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Let's get on let's get on

Carnival Begin lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie

 I open my eyes

The ship was out at sea

People I didn't know

Places I never did see

Too late to conceal it

Too late to hide it

Too late to reveal it

Too late to fight it


I want it all

All the colors and swings

A new merry go round

Carnival begin


You opened the door

And I stepped in

Not knowing where I'm going

But I know I'm gonna win

I can fly again

Got the freedom in my mouth

Travellin' girl is movin' north, west, east, and south


I want it all

All the sparkling things

A new merry go round

Carnival begin


I'll take it all

I may lose or win

A new merry go round

Carnival begin


I always wondered

If you ever miss me

I always thought I heard you call

I always wanted

Wanted to hear your voice

Summer turned into fall


I want it all

Those sparkles and swings

A new merry go round

Carnival begin


I'll take it all

I may lose or win

A new merry go round

Carnival begin

Ride This Road lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 If we ride this road

You know we ain't got far to go

But it's alright you know

If we ride this road


Let me know if you can take me

Let me sleep if you can wake me

Take it soft and slow

If we ride this road


If we run away

Ain't no place we can't stay

And there's no words we can't say

If we run away


Let me know if you can take me

Let me sleep if you can wake me

Take it soft and slow

If we ride this road


If we ride this road

If we ride this road


Time Bomb Town lyrics - Lindsey Buckingham

 (from "Back to the Future" soundtrack)


I got a bad complication

I keep it to myself

I got some strange information

I can't think of nothing else


There must be 'bout a million

Of single ways to go down

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger

In this time bomb town


I got some strange information

I keep it to myself

I got a bad reputation

I can't think of nothing else


There must be 'bout a million

Of single ways to go down

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger

In this time bomb town


There must be 'bout a million

Of single ways to go down

'Cause I'm a lonely trav'ler

In this time bomb town


Oh, there must be a million people

They're all trying to make it down

'Cause they're just lonely trav'lers

In this time bomb town


Time bomb town
