through all the ups and downs
and wears and tears
giving me love, showing so much care, yeah
mother I thank you for your lvoe all these years
you've been a source of inspiration
one look in you eyes and my fears were gone
though my papa had died and you were alone
like the rock of Gibraltar Mama you stood strong

I say keep on doing what you're doing mama
I love you
keep on doing what you're doing Sophie
I love you
keep on doing what you're doing mama
Check it out
When the going got rought mum you got though
whoever thought that you will give up
though luck
you've proven your faith in the almighty
sometimes mum, God knows you never knew
where to find a dime to buy a pair of shoes
and I know it wasn't easy
when the tide was high
sometimes you break down and cry
you never, never, never give up, no way
mama I love you
[Chorus]
Listen mama when those hands of yours get fever
and you are unable to go further
just remember I'll be there for you
No matter what mama I'll promise I'll always be there
[Chorus]
Never stop doing what you're doing mama
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground

Traveling through life's long and lonely roads
In different places I lay my weary head
Knowing I got to do the right
And in wrong conditions I seek my daily bread
(oh) oh my gosh
(oh) oh what advice
(even denies) even denying my basic rights
(yeah yeah) oh jah is waiting on the higher side
With his tender arms (open wide) opened wide
This feeling
Touch my soul
This feeling
Touch my soul (believe me)
The more you live
The more you learn
And the things you learn
Will help you live and earn
And even though adversaries come around
Thats when you show your faith
Be firm and stand your ground

(even denies) even denying my basic rights
(yea yeah) oh jah is waiting on the higher side
With his tender arms (open wide) opened wide
This feeling

This feeling I've got.
What a feeling
This feeling I've got
Traveling through life's long and lonely lonely lonely roads
In different places

Knowing I've got to do the right
And in wrong conditions I seek my daily bread

(yeah yeah) oh jah is waiting on the higher side
With his tender arms (open wide) opened wide
This feeling
Touch my soul
This feeling
Touch my soul
This feeling
She's like south of the border
To the warm illustrated man
Roman candles and sparklers
Smoky backyards in summer
Around around
Around around
So she's got an idea
They take drugs and they go to the park
If you think you're in love, man
Well just wait until dark
Around around
Around around
Nearly drunk with desire
Well go home and sleep it off
More than two hours later
She waits in the bed for him
Keys in the door, aggravation
She's a cool drink for a tired man
Put your troubles behind you
Put your love in my hands
Around around
Around around
She doesn't want to know him
But I can still remember
Want to climb all over you, on your back, favorite uncle
Tugging at your buckle, pull your hair and grab your glasses
Blind jane, full of things to say, hard to make it sound like sorrow
Giggle, smashing bottles, one more step I've got you
Because you know I love you
Heard your accent when you're sleeping, are you from another country
And is that your girlfriend, I have to go
Pause before you answer, when you're stomping, when you're pounding
When your face erupts into a little child
Want to walk all over you, on your back, favorite uncle
Tugging at your buckle, pull your hair and grab your glasses
Blind jane, full of things to say, hard to make it sound like sorrow
There's something different about you this year
Do you remember the time that we met
Back in the kitchen you talked about love
Took me through the house, showed me around
One thing, only one thing could make me happy
One thing, only one thing could make me happy this year
There's times if I could have hit you I would
What would have happened if we were alone
Your mouth moves just down to frown
To make my fingers ache
One thing, only one thing could make me happy
One thing, only one thing could make me happy this year
There's something different about you this year
Do you remember the time that we fell
Back in the kitchen you talked about him
Take me through the house, show me around
One thing, only one thing could make me happy
Everybody tried to smile a mile wide
You're the one I take for granted, kissed and said goodnight
Yellow, she can wait
Sorrow, she'll catch up, she will be here, she will be here
When I see it, different
Sometimes wants me all alone
Sometimes kisses, we're there
Sometimes lets me go to her
Get a little heart (when I see you)
Super cut the power
They're only college kids
Gave them money's worth
Yellow, she can wait
Sorrow, she'll catch up, she will be here, she will be here
When I see it, different
Sometimes wants me all alone
Sometimes kisses, we're there
Sometimes lets me go to her
When I see it
Sometimes wants me
Sometimes kisses
Sometimes lets me
Got your message while I walked around
Yeah, frustration has it by the feet
And it's not as if he has a choice
Dinosaurs still walk the earth
Now it's mine to keep
It's what I brought with me
Filling up my chest
Coming home to nest I was wrong to give you any time
Yeah, I knew it now,
I know it then I hear electric music, solid walls of sound
Drowning down the staircase after you
Now it's mine to keep
It's what I brought with me
Filling up my chest
On the back you'll find a sweet long scar
He can hear you laughing right through the door
I will draw the curtains, I'm funny that way
Stop the car, I'll beat it out of you
Cliche on a reference, it feels so good
No, I won't be sold till I see her face
We got so involved, we couldn't hear a thing
And if you're sitting next to us, you'll want to move away
Cause when it goes, it goes
But while you're here you don't know how I love it
I'm at the bottom I won't admit it
I've lost my senses
All my possessions
I've lost the good stuff
I will be sorry
I've lost the good stuff
I will be sorry
You get behind me
You get above me
Without your whispers
Without your kisses
I am a cipher
I am a cipher
You light the pilot
You make the metaphor come true
Who did I talk to in circumstance
The words I offered, obligations
And I go back to sleep
She sent a pack of pictures in the mail
And in them I looked thinner
I'm not sure, can't be certain
She came shortly after I was born
Now I can't go in the rooms I used to own
My world is full of strangers and I spend the day in chains
I just want to go outside and run around
Help me, I'm burning, I'm burning
Help me break a window
For the lonely days, white fur hat, little red coat
Sleep in the big bed like a king
Sunlight through the window on my shiny brown head
And love behind my ears and on my back
On my back
Lay my head down and try to forget her
I was just somewhere else but now I find myself here
Help me, I'm burning, I'm burning
Help me break a window
Help me crack the door open
Help me, I'm burning inside
Think about leaving, think about running away
Beyond the backyard, beyond the highway
Someone who'll kiss my face, let me sleep inside
Do you think I'll get there, do you think I'll make it
Do you think I'll make it
Help me, I'm burning, I'm burning
Help me break a window
Help me crack the door open
Cat soup
If I asked you nicely
See through
You know I'm all over you
Vamoose
I should say it louder
Sugar bear's been pushing me around for days
Come in my room and I smell it again
Well it brings me back to Demi on the bus
She sees me acting mean
That's the first time that I felt the buzz
I feel good all over
Perfume
You know I could still get you
Just move
Take a year to find it
Sugar bear's been fucking with my head today
Come in my room and I smell it again
Well it brings me back to Demi in my parents' bedroom
She sees me acting mean
That's the first time that I felt the buzz
And I lay back and enjoy the full figure of the bed
Running faucet in my head
Dream about my own personal hell
And make it sell
Shoulder glimpse, I hold your head bone
Fingers find my dorsal fin
You'll never see these people again
So I taste the joy new jar
Tell me why, tell me why
When I see you, do you think I want to thump you
Rum and charms are clinging to you
Lift my hat to pour it down to you
And the menace, mighty then
Find it easy to close my eyes
Tell me why, tell me why
Bloody disgrace no true meaning whatsoever
And flags on dem graves from a falsified endeavour
Damn! Who phuct up dat day, March 20, 2003?!!
We about to free dem Iraqis so all Gods children count & play!
Damn! Who phuct up that day, March 20, 2003?!!
We about to free dem Iraqis and fortify da USA!
Hey! Ready! Aim! Fire! Pow!
