ftp.uwp.edu is the official ftp site name (in case they move it), and it's
the most complete lyric archive. Some individual musical mailing lists
support an alternate archive, but in many cases these are either mirrored
to or mirrored by ftp.uwp.edu--what this means is they are the same on
ftp.uwp.edu as on their other site.

If you're looking for particular groups, try archie searches for the group
name, but be careful with your abbreviation or you may end up with several
thousand responses, none of which apply to your group (i.e. archie -s
earth to search for Earth, Wind, and Fire).

Good luck.

Mick Fleetwood's Zoo is not a new band - they have released at least one album
in the eighties (about the time that Mick was having financial problems).  I
think it has a picture of Africa on it or something.

title "I'm On the Lam (But I Ain't no Sheep)".  It was redone on 

"Tyranny and Mutation" as "The Red and the Black" and also appears live on
"On Your Feet or On Your Knees".

OK...let's see now...

Guns N' Roses released an independent EP, _Live Like A Suicide_ ,  on their own label, Uzi Suicide records.  Uzi Suicide went on to rerelease all of Hanoi Rocks  albums on CD...

After GNR was signed to Geffen they released _Apppetite For Destruction_ , so although it was really their second release it is generally considered to be their debut album.  Billboard even recognized it as the best selling debut album of all time.

_GNR lies_ is a rerelease of _Live Like A Suicide_ on Geffen combined with some acoustic songs.  So it is their second album.

Hope this clears things up...

I recently purchased the CD single to "Even Better than the Real Thing"
from the _Achtung Baby_ Album.  The following songs were on it:

1. "even better than the REAL THING"  produced by Steve LillyWhite,
with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.

2. "Salome" produced by Paul Barrett

3. "Where did it all go wrong" produced by Paul Barrett

4. "Lady with the spinning head" (extended dance mix) produced by
    Paul Barrett.

My question is: who is Paul Barrett and when was U2 working with him?
I know that their producer on the _Achtung Baby_ album was Eno, and
Daniel Lanois and Flood.  I really like the songs Barrett produced
for U2 (I think he also produced their version of "Paint it Black")
and I was wondering what his connection U2 is.

How about Billy Idol and "Dancing with Myself" (or "Mony, Mony"). There are 
few frat parties (or clubs, if they play that style music) that don't play
this at least once a night. I believe it has been around 8-10 years. I 
don't know for sure though.

Although I must agree with you that "You Shook Me All Night Long" is quite 
popular at parties, etc.
