I'm so glad you're awake
That you're not like the others
Cause they're so straight laced
And no fun
Gosh that's nice
That lingerie
Makes me feel like
Oh I don't know
You're a very pretty thing
you remind me of someone
You must have heard
Some awful nasty things about me but
What I can do for you
There's no one else
On God's green earth can do
What I can do for you
There's no one else
On God's green earth can do
Just ask anybody
They'll tell you that it's true
There's no one else on earth
Can do the things that I can do for you
You're never gonna make it
All by yourself
You're gonna need a friend
You're gonna need my help
I have so much to offer
If you just be nice
If you do what I say
And don't make me say it twice
Do you mind if I just
Rub my hand up thus
Come on just my hand
Come on just my hand
You got to understand
I'm gonna be your man
I'm gonna be your man
You're gonna need me
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repairman
He said he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there, but the brochure looks nice
1-Jump in, let's go, lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes
2-Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Every day is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
He's got a daughter he calls "Easter"
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
(repeat 1, 2, 2)
I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening
(rpt 2...)
I think I met my match again
Standing round the candlelight
In the middle of this blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice o
It's only love
It's only love
If only love comes round again
It will have been
Worth the ride o
You were master of so many
Savior to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty on you
Now look what I've become
Sometimes lonely is not only a word
But faces I have known
And if you see me could you free me with a smile
Never kept a dollar past sunset, it always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy, never blew a second chance
I need a love to keep me happy, I need a love to keep happy
Baby baby keep me happy, baby baby keep me happy
Always took candy from strangers, didn't want to get me no trade
Never want to be like papa, working for the boss everynight and day
Never got a flash out of cocktails when I got some flesh off the bone
Never a lift out of lear jets when I can fly way back home
Don't you hate me when the motor starts running out
Your esoteric rants were made to twist and shout
I heard you moved now you're hangin' on the Moulin Rouge
Don't you know no matter where you go somebody's always watching
That's what they say
That's what they say
When the pages fade
The love you made
Will seem one hundred light years away
That's what they say
That's what they say
Well then
I guess that's it then
As you trip on my rug on your way out the door
To your new found freedom
You always get your way
Happy
We can't be happy
For I've learned
That reality is only opinion
We disagreed, dear
Some opinions can't persuade
Crazy
My thinkin' was hazy
Placin' you
In the kitchen with apron and skillet preparing me dinner
But to serve's not your fortay
Lonely
I bet I was only
Lookin' in your direction for some small affection
But you made me love you
Cuz you always get your way
Always always
Isn't it boring?
Day after day
After day
After day
After day
Your suspicion
And all my ambition
Creates nothing less than an incredible mess
So I guess good luck darlin'
Is all I have to say
Kill me
You said you'd kill me
Baby those are just words
That in anger
You say but I surely would hate it
If you ever got your way
And you always get your way
You always get your way
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak with the prophecies of love
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong
Don't you worry baby don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
Cos I'm a pitcher, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my loving on the run Your the cutest thing that I ever did see
Really like your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovy dovy, lovy dovy, lovy dovy all the time
O wee baby I wanna show you a good time
Cos I'm a pitcher, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my loving on the run
You know the sun is shining, it's raining in my heart
I don't know what to do since we've been apart
Why don't you tell me, babe, what is going on?
You know I love you darling, don't want to be alone
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
You know I can't go on, feeling this old way
You know my heart is burning, it's burning everyday
You know I love you, baby, no one else will do
Why don't you reconsider, do what I want you to?
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
Your friends are tearing us apart
Tearing us apart
You got lucky
Walking cross a crowded room
The cameras went from wide to zoom
And caught you in the act
Well now, you've got something
Something we could really use
If we could get you on the evening news
And spruce up the facts
We'd go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isn't it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again
Snuck out the back
With Nancy and the philistines
Quotes from Rolling Stone magazine
Dribble from her mouth
Oh now, please don't tell me
Let me have this one surprise
If I come back a million years from now
Can I keep my scalp
I go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isn't it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again
Ooh, we go straight through the moon
Turn on the tv and you're in the cartoons
Ooh, but isn't it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again Your co-conspirators
Open up the secret door
And now the truth is out
What are we gonna do about it
I'm not much on second hand information
Sycophantic recreations
Have been down with the smile
Now I rolled up my sleeves
And took off my good shoes
You can't get in and get loose
Without getting dirt in your eyes
Ooh, you go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
Ooh, isn't it strange
Once it goes up
It comes back down again
Ooh, it's too much too soon
Turn on the tv and I'm in the cartoons
Ooh, isn't it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again
Ooh, straight to the moon
Turn on the tv and there's a cartoon
If it makes you happy
Squeeze Box
originally by the Who
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playing all night
And the music's all tight
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all righ
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
There comes a son, a son of angels
Carrying an empty glass
Trying to fill it to the surface
Well tell your thirst love has passed
You carry on, carry the world
You must get worn with all the weight
I take it in but you won't no where
And no where's where we're headed fast
Oh, oh, Rodeo
Slow turning to and fro
Oh, oh, Rodeo
Where we land no one knows (no one knows..)
We're not blind to what it is
In other words, the ignorant kind
Well life is short, but oh it's wide
It's wide enough to blow my mind
Well I believe in ever-after
Just in case what's after that
Don't I love you like the angels
And could you ever love me back?
Chorus
Strangers now we are becoming
Stranger now we have become
If any fiction every returns
Returned by the coolest one
Chorus
It was the third of June
Another sleepy, dusty
I was out chopping cotton
And my brother was bailing hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered at the back door
'Y'all remember to wipe your feet'
Then she said
'I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billy Joe McAllister
Jumped off the Talahachee Bridge'
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
My love's bigger than a cadillac
I'll try to show it if you drive me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Lovin' real'll not fade away
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Love to last more than one day
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less then breath
Is your mouth full little weed
When you open it to speak
Are you smiling But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay
Each day is Valentine's day
The best things in life are free
You can give them to the birds and bees
I want money, that's what I want
Money don't buy everything, it's true
What it don't buy I can't use
I want money, that's what I want
Your love give such a thrill
But your love don't pay my bills
I want money, that's what I want
Little Wing
originally by Jimi Hendrix
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
She says, it's all right, take anything you want from me, anything
Fly on, little wing
Mama, take this badge off of me,
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see,
I feel like I'm knocking on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,
Mama, take these guns away from me,
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is followin' me,
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I was laughing
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing
I thought that love could wait
I was a young girl and sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing
I was standing
Looking in the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping
And praying, Lord, that he could understand me
But I didn't know his name He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong
He said, you're gonna be all right girl, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe
Someday baby, who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking
Together hand in hand, alone forever
Man just you and me
'Cause time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing and growing and it's all we gotta do
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing
Mamma's got a feeling, she's up all night
Do we give in?
Do we let go of the fight?
Well I don't know
Don't wanna be down, dragged through, messed around
Everybody's got their little fights to fight
I say no
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no
Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, I'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time
So cool to be suicidal
Maybe I will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no
Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, I'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time
So cool to be suicidal
Maybe I will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no
I live in an apartment on the ninety ninth foor of my block
And I sit at home lookin' out the window imaginin' the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy that's all dressed up like a Union Jack
He says I've won five pounds if I have this kind ogf detergent pack
I said, hey you get off my cloud, hey you get off my cloud
Hey you get off my cloud, don't hang around
'Cause two's a crowd on my cloud baby
The telephone is ringin', I say hi it's me, who's there on the line
A voice says hi hullo how are you, well I guess I'm doing fine
He says it's three a.m. and there's too much noise, don't you people ever want
To go bed, just 'cause you feel so good, so you have to drive me out of my head
I was sick and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the mornin' the parkin' tickets were just like flags stuck on my wind screen
Oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go
Ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay
Ooh those tears I cry ay ay
Baby please don't go
When I read the letter you wrote me
It made me mad mad mad
When I read the words that it told me
It made me sad sad sad
I still love you so
I can't let you go
I love you - ooh baby I love you
Oh oh oh oh oh
Every breath I take oh oh oh oh
Every move I make oh oh
Baby please don't go Ay ay ay ay ay
It hurts me to my soul oh oh
It hurts me to my soul oh oh
Baby please don't go
When I read the letter you sent me
You made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it told me
It made me sad sad sad
I still love you so
I can't let you go
I love you - ooh baby I love you
Oh you hurt me so
That's a big no no
You shouldn't hurt me
Oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh
You don't have to oh oh oh oh
Baby...
What's outside
We don't need in here
Trash the headlines, smash the TV
Get rid of everything except you and me
I've had it up to here
Too many workin'hours
Haulin' crates, takin' shit
Being just a brick in an ivory tower
But they can't take this, babe
This time is ours
Let's make love rough
Let's fight back
Let's get naked
Let's attack
Let's bite and scratch
Flesh on flesh
We can love each other both to death
Set each other both on fire
Let's burn this bed
Burn this bed Steel skies
Are crashing overhead
Leads up to temptation, arch your back
Strike a match along your beautiful leg
There are some things
They can't make me do
No man can, when I'm home
Stayin' up all night to work on you
But they can't take this babe
This time is ours
I'll rock an' roll ya
I'll kiss your eyes
Run my hands
Up and down your thighs
Hour for hour
Let's sweat or sex
We can love each other both to death
Let's burn this bed
Yeah burn this bed
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same thing if you're not here with me
And when the blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
No petrol in the car
No pennies in the jar
How did we get this far
Baby
No moon in the sky
No roof to keep us dry
Looks like rain tonight
I got a sinking feeling
Coming over me
I got a sinking feeling
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
[Chorus]
Green, your smiling eyes
Red, cause I made you cry
Grey, these rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
Stay love
Stay tonight
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
No caffeine in the coffee
No sugar in my tea
Just watching the TV
With the sound down No radio on
No tune to the song
And the words are wrong
Your fingers tapping
To the rhythm of the rain
Your fingers...
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
[Chorus]
I got a sinking feeling
Coming over me
I got a sinking feeling
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
[Chorus]
Oh child
Don't say goodbye
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
Stay love
Stay tonight
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
She never had a mother
She hardly knew her dad
She's been in town for 18 years
And I'm the only boy she's had
Baby, I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back someday
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
Said she can't stay
She's gonna be a lady someday Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go
When she gets to the city
Her tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
She's goin' away
And maybe she'll back someday
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don't go
Angel
originally by Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wrecklace
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some confort there So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wrecklace
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some confort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some confort there
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think to all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody is home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
I want to leave
All by myself I want to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
Love so distant and obscure
Remains occured
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
I want to leave
All by myself
Find someone in love
Hold them so close
It's not close enough
Moment to moment time's slipping away
While you're looking for something you're hoping to find
Are the things that you wanted within all the time
You say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all this running
Wanting to stay in one place
Oh I know I was wrong
Selfish am I to let you go on
Just couldn't see what your love meant to me
Till it was gone and all hope has faded away
I could beg I could pray
That you'd come back one day
But you say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all the running
Wanting to stay in one place
Next time I know
There's no time to waste
If there is a next time
I will stand up and say
I say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
I said stop
I'm only beginning to understand half the way
Time slips away
You say stop
Time slips away
Away
I saw your rantin' on TV today
I heard you tell me to reload
You got a lot of nerve to talk that way
Someone unplug the microphone
I'm tired of all the fighting
Cynicism and back-biting
Can't even hear myself think
You pour the Kool-Aid and then we drink
So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance and now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
Ignorance is patriotic
Reason is idiotic
Winds of change keep on blowin'
If this is America, you'd never know it
So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
All you little ones with open hearts
Don't let hatred tear your world apart
And if you wonder who is wrong or who is right
Better go ask God to shine some light
Earthquakes and jihad Jane
Talkin' heads and hate campaigns
If aliens should land today
Who would be more afraid, us or them?
Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)
Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)
Say, say what you want to
(You gotta say it, say)
Say, say what you want to
(Whatever's on your mind)
Say, say what you want to
(Give me a microphone, baby)
Say, say what you want to
(All the things I want to say)
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
(Are you lovers, are you haters?)
Say, say what you want to
(Can someone say, yeah?)
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
There is a rose
Grows in the moonlight
And just like desire
Creeps up in the night
You'll never know
How deep is the pain
Until I hear you say
That you feel the same
Only you and I
Know about the love we share
Only time and space
Could ever keep us, keep us apart
Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway
I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away
And deep in the night
You call my name
To want you so much
Is a mysterious game
Turn up the heat
Bodies on fire
Go on and teach me
The ways of desire
Only you and I
Know about the love we share
Only time and space
Could ever keep us, keep us apart
Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway
I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away
Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway
I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine
Makin' the best of a situation
Buildin' a house on a strong foundation
Everybody wants to feel alright
When you fly off in the wrong direction
Turn it around, see your own reflection
Everybody wants to feel alright
Let's dance to the music, baby
Let's dance 'til your troubles fade away
Let's dance in the summer breeze
I wanna dance 'til my spirit's free
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
Every day and every night
Lookin' around you miss your own damn life
Everybody wants to feel alright
Let's dance to the music, baby
Let's dance 'til your troubles fade away
Let's dance in the summer breeze
I wanna dance 'til my spirit's free
Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
I can see peace in the city
I can see peace in the nation
No matter who is leading
There will be peace and salvation
Makin' the best of a situation
Buildin' a house on a strong foundation
Everybody wants to feel alright
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh
Let me hear ya now
Uh, huh
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Someone picked you from that bunch
One glance was all it took
But now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms
(I want you back)
Yes, I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby
(I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, boy
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following you, boy
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Oh, won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms, arms
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I need
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I need
(All I need is just one more chance)
(To show you that I love you, baby)
Baby
(Baby)
Baby
(Baby)
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
Let me live again
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
'Cause now since I see you
In her arms
I want you back
(Spare me of this cause)
I want you back
(Give back what I lost)
Oh, baby, I need one more chance
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
(I want you back)
(Forget what happened then)
I want you back
(Let me live again)
Oh, baby
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na

Blood and wine may flow
Only love and war make history
We must share flesh and bone
But we don't share philosophy
Some people got a ways to go
Some lessons they don't ever learn
To keep your enemies close
The other cheek you soon will turn
If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
Together, together
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Don't lay your worries on me
I got my own to keep me company
Talk is like a worn out suit
Comes unraveled when it turns cheap
You can have all that I own
But my soul you'll never keep
I'll dig a hole and I'll call it home
'Cause I have learned how to dig deep
How to dig deep
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
We belong
If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
Get along
If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
Together, together
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all
Your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Here comes the sun, doot in doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doot in doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, doot in doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, doot in doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say it's all right, it's all right
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
When I got down to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
But then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.
And now he's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
I had me a man who couldn't be true.
He made me for my money then he made me blue.
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
And now he's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
And when I find me that river, Lord
I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice.
And now he's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
He told me on Sunday he was takin' me out;
Long about Monday he was nowhere about.
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
I got them long but not forgotten blues.
And now he's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
And now he's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
She walks the wire
Start to ending
But the wheeze is someone else inside her head
She swallowed fire
While pretending
That the flame has long been dead
And now love is just a stranger in her bed
She said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll turn that page
No more tomorrows
I'm full of empty yesterdays
Now cousin Sydney's such an outcast
Cause his parents ???????
An angry young man is on the warpath
There's so many things he'd change
If only he'd been better bet-all tell-all Hank
He said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home early
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll change my ways
No more tomorrows
And the things I'd wished I'd always changed
In a shiny perfect world
Dashing boy gets girl
Are you one of the lonely ones
Seems I can't remember when
Or just how long it's been
Since I've been waiting for that train that never comes
And we said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home early
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll turn that page
I left the opening rather early
Before they left the stage
This is the last time
I change my ways
No more tomorrows
I'm full of empty yesterdays
Remember not to say a word
If they ask about me
Say you haven't heard
Sweet communion
Of the forbidden kind
I live to love you
Only on borrowed time
Are you waiting
Waiting in the dark
For a message, for a sign
Precious these days
Living our ways
On borrowed time
Yeah
Fallen angel
Where do you hide your heart
Under some angry ???
Alone you fall apart
Oh, you're not forgotten
You're always on my mind
Whispering words I'm waiting, waiting
Only on borrowed time
Someone's praying
Praying for your life
For a miracle or sign
Precious these days
Living our ways
On borrowed time
I'll be waiting
Waiting in the night
For a message, for a sign
Precious there days
Living our ways
On borrowed time
The voices hanging in the air
The fingers running through my hair
You whisper in my ear, words I'm afraid to hear
You're sleeping on the wings of doves
Of melting in the heat of love
A voice that disappears, into the air
You said you found me, and never let me go, and until you do
No arms around me, to pull me away, away from you
Indian summer, I remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me too?
Like a moth to a flame, you're drawn to me with tender chains
You wrap me up so tight, and hold me all the night
Who's the stranger come and gone, statues crying in the lawn
The fountain's frozen tears, bring back those years
Did you think you loved me, and do you want me now like you did back then
No moon above me, could make me feel this way, feel this way again
Indian summer, I remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me too?
Where do the seasons go when you let them slip away
Now the winds have changed from hot to cold today
Indian summer, Indian summer, I remember you, where are you now
Ohhh, Indian summer, I remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me, do you think of me too
Cause I remember you, Indian summer
Today I saw the strangest thing on the evening news
A man who wasn't sad at all about what's going on
And even though I'm trying to smile
With everything I see it could take a while
I've been looking everywhere I go
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?
I've been looking all around to know
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?
Yesterday I heard you say you never close your eyes
Sometimes the world's a scary ride, it's hard to hang on
Along the way we got off track
And if we turn around can we ever get back?
You say it was there when we were young
Today I saw a flag roll by on a wooden box
And if it's true we lost our way
Then what have we got?
Try to erase
The smell of freedom
And every face
That happened to meet mine
What still remains
Something unrelenting
I'll say the names
Of those I left behind
In the still of the night
Do you laugh, do you cry?
Do you try not to remember?
If it's a question of fate
Do you love, do you hate?
Do you try not to remember?
I see your eyes
In my own reflection
These broken skies
Begin, begin to mend
We are the same
Fighting for something
What's left to gain?
There's no means to an end
In the still of the night
Do you laugh, do you cry?
Do you try not to remember?
If it's a question of fate
Do you love, do you hate?
Hey let's party
Let's get down
Let's turn the radio on
This is the meltdown
Get out the camera
Take a picture
The drag queens and the freaks
Are all out on the town
And cowboy Jane's in bed
Nursing a swollen head
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene any how
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood
The photo chick made to look sickly
Is standing in her panties in the shower
She plays the guitar in the bathroom
While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers
And Schoolboy John's in jail
Making a killing through the U.S. mail
This is the movie of the screenplay
Of the book about a girl who meets a junkie.
The messenger gets shot down
Just for carrying the message to a flunkie.
We can't be certain who the villans are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your
city
There goes the neighborhood
Let's all go downtown
I got friends doing nothing but hanging around...well
I feel like there's something I could be missing
You know you look alright
You got cheap shoes, a Malibu, and big public fights
Well, there's no one else I would rather be kissing
Baby when you start to bleed, you look so sweet
Everybody's watching you cause everybody wants to be
Little superstar, well baby that's what you are
Little superstar, oh honey that's what you are
I got a backstage line
I call you up, been watching you for quite some time
I beat around the streets like
Bandidi looking for Camilla
I'll be satin and speed
If you and I are still alive
We'll get off these streets
Well, there was a time I would have
Hung around just to be seen
Hey man, it's a shame when you start to fade
Diamond rings and sparkily things
Won't make your shine stay
My little superstar, oh baby that's what you are
My little superstar, oh honey you break my heart
My little superstar, oh honey you know you are
You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of all
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their hearts of gold
Peace on earth, good will to men
From heaven's all glorious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh hear, oh the angel voices
Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
I woke up and called this mornin'
The tone of your voice was a warnin'
That you don't care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's six a.m. and I'm alone
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
Well, your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I've got used to spendin'
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need for ever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holdin' on this way
Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walkin' by
Did it ever make you cry
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me every story told
Give me something of your soul
That I can hold onto
I want to wake up to the sound of waves
Crashing on a brand new day
Keep the memory of your face
But wipe the pain away o
When you're lonely (you're not alone)
When you're heart aches (on Diamond Road)
It's gonna take a little time
Yeah, it's gonna take a little time
When the night falls (you're not alone)
When you're stumbling (on Diamond Road)
It's gonna take a little time
To make it to the other side o
So don't miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today
Little bird, what's troubling you
You know what you have to do
What is yours you'll never lose
And what's ahead may shine
Beneath the promise of blue skies
With broken wings we'll learn to fly
Pull yourself out of the tide
And begin the dream again
So don't miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today
Won't you shine on
Morning light
Burn the darkness away
Walk with me the Diamond Road
Tell me everything is gold
Give me something of your soul
So you don't fade away
Don't miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today
Life is what happens while you're making plans
We made love all day
In our little hide away
But I blew up our love nest
By making one little request
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Should not mean a thing
You could say I do
Hide your negative reviews
You love me you say
But you can't even face the day
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Should not change
Some say love is blind
But I say love is only in the mind
Diamonds may be sweet
But to me they just bring on cold feet
Someday you'll be like me
With someone who just wants to be free
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Took your car
Drove to Texas
Sorry, honey
But I suspected we were through
And I can't cry anymore
Since I left
Been feelin' better, cause that's
What you get when you
Stay together too long
And I can't cry anymore
Wouldn't it be good if
we could hop a flight to anywhere
So long to this life
So much for pretending
Bad luck's never-ending
And now I know that
Money comes in
But the fact is
There's not enough to
Pay my taxes
And I can't cry anymore
Well, got a brother
He's got real problems
Heroin - no
There's just no stopping him tonight
And I won't cry anymore
It's never ending
It could be worse
I could've missed my calling
Sometimes it hurts
But when you read the writing on the wall
Can't cry anymore
And too much time I've been spending
With my heart in my hands
Waiting for time to come and mend it
Hit it!
This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!
"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos
Of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
before blowing and cursing them out
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on
the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty
cars
I think I was wrong
I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
Oh, Honey won't you stop
Treating me that way
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
Cause babe I've changed
Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear I can see you
Coming up the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive
I crossed the canyon a thousand times
But never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry
Oh ballbreaking moon and ridiculing stars
The older I get, the closer you are
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here making a fool of me
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
If you could only see
What love has made of me
But I'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see
No you won't see
The good in me
But babe I've changed
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do
I was riding on the e-train
I was whistling to the rhythm
I was thinking about my live-in
I was feeling pretty fine
I asked the time
Got a poke in the eye
When I read the latest news
How we can't believe he wore those shoes
Should we have the man impeached
Or should we shoot him in the foot
Well you waste my time
You waste my time
Looking for two hundred ways to hang a guy
Allegations
Interrogations
Investigations
Then more taxation
National past time is aggrivation
I think I'll move out to a desert isle
Just for a while
To avoid all that's distracting
Like newspapers and magazines
Insipid propagandizing
To tell me what a loser I've elected
But you've neglected to tell the truth
That your politics is tied around his foot
And we too are dangling
Do you think that we are crazy
Low I.Q., that we are lazy
That we sit here watching sitcoms
That we have no clue to what is going on
Well you got that wrong
Wait and see, the boom will fall
The morning eggs will hit the wall
And everyone I know will call
To say that change is hanging in the air
You'd best beware
You'll wake up and average Joe is in your chair
Just because he'd kinda like to do what's right
Watch out sister, watch out brother,
Watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Wal-mart discount stores
Welcome to the hallway, metal detectors just been installed
Hey isn't cops and robbers gettin' to be a big bore
Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now,
It's much too scary
And your might see something you wish you hadn't seen
Out of sight, out of time, out of patience,
And I'm out of my mind
Governor, tell me what does it mean
Dance children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy cause life is so sweet
Good morning hate
Dance children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock and roll up and down the street,
I've got a message
Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good,
Love is a good thing
Politicians on a mission,
Build them up, bring them down
For the good of the system
Well we don't like the way you live your life
I got one thing I must express
We try our criminals in the press
Justice is a fading light
Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now
It's much too scary
And you might see something you wish you hadn't seen
Out of sight, out of time, out of patience,
And I'm out of my mind
Governor, tell me what does it mean
Dance children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy cause life is so sweet
Good morning hate
Dance children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock and roll up and down the street
I've got a message
Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good,
I was lost inside a daydream
Swimming through the saline
I looked at you and you breathed in
Well, that's the way it's always been
It all comes down to creating time
You don't always have to make it right
We'll all drive by in our hybrid lives
Chances are we'll make it back
I was doing time in the LA jail
My Karma was living inside a failure
No matter how it don't matter now
Rest assured the rest is blurred
It all comes down to doing time
We don't always have to make it a crime
We'll all drive off in our hybrid lives
Chances are we'll make it back
We'll make it back... We'll make it back
Terence McKenna said
It is better to explore within
We were apes before we spoke of sin
The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin
It all comes down to creating time
You don't always have to make it alright
We'll all drive by with our hybrid lives
Chances are... Chances are... Chances are
We'll make it back... We'll make it back
Part I:
I am strong
I am able
I spill milk on your table
Then I crawl like a baby
Just to see if you save me
I am sweet
I am ugly
I am mean if you love me
I try hard just to please you
When I say I don't need you
I dress up with a conscience
When I think you'll be watching
I say all the right things
I don't know what I mean
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
I am ignorant and rude
I am fashionably crude
And sometimes when it's quiet
I'm an angel in white
When I pose in the mirror
I want everyone near me
I am scared that I'm weird
I'm afraid I am queer
I am lovely and weak
I am foul when I speak
I am strange when I'm kind
I am frying my mind
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
(I don't care, I don't care)
Jesus loves me I know
For my mom told me so
I'm a loser at love
I'm a flower in the mud
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Part II:
Don't you hate it
When the money starts to running out
Your esoteric rants
Were made to twist and shout
I heard you moved
Now you're hangin on the Moulin Rouge
Don't you know no matter where you go
Somebody's always watching you
That's what they say
That's what they say
When the pages fade the love you made
Will seem one hundred light years away
(Sheryl Crow)
I am strong I am able I spill milk on your table
Then I cry like a baby just to see if you save me
I am sweet I am ugly I am mean if you love me
I try hard just to please you when I say I don't need you
I dress up with a conscience when I think you'll be watching
I say all the right things I don't know what I mean
Am I am I getting through
Am I am I getting through
I am ignorant and rude, I am fashionably crude
And sometimes when it's quiet I'm an angel in white
When I pose in the mirror I want everyone near me
I am scared that I'm weird, I'm afraid I am queer
I am lovely, I'm weak, I am foul when I speak
I am strange when I'm kind, I am frying my mind
Am I, am I getting through
Am I, am I getting through
I don't care, I don't care
Jesus loves me I know, for my mom told me so
I'm a loser at love, I'm a flower in the mud
Am I, am I getting through
Am I, am I getting through
Am I, am I getting through
Quiet hour
You have always been my wildflower
Showing up wherever beauty's lost its way
Your heart must break
I was free
Until I heard the song you sang me to me
Pulling me away from everything I knew
To be with you
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly
Here we are
Burning faster than the cursed star
Falling back down to the Earth
I love you so it sometimes hurts
Closer still
You will find me standing on the hill
Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now, come inside
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly
And everything I know just fades away
And where the wildflower grows it picks its space
And that's the way it is when nature plays its lovely hand
We'll understand everything
I'm so glad you're awake
That you're not like the others
Cause they're so straight-laced
And no fun
Gosh that's nice
That lingerie
Makes me feel like
Oh, I don't know
You're a very pretty thing
You remind me of someone
You must have heard
Some awful nasty things about me, but
What I can do for you
There's no one else
On God's green earth can do
What I can do for you
There's no one else
On God's green earth can do
Just ask anybody
They'll tell you that it's true
There's no one else on earth
Can do the things that I can do for you
You're never gonna make it
All by yourself
You're gonna need a friend
You're gonna need my help
I have so much to offer
If you just be nice
If you do what I say
And don't make me say it twice
Do you mind if I just
Rub my hand up thus
Come on just my hand
Come on just my hand
You got to understand
I'm gonna be your man
Sunny morning
You can hear it
Siren's warning
There is weather on both sides
And I know it's coming
Just like before
There's a black dog
That scratches my door
He's been growling my name saying
You better get to running
Can you make it better for me
Can you make me see the light of day
Because I got no one
Who will bring me a
Big umbrella
So I'm watching the weather channel
And waiting for the storm
It's just sugar
Just a pill to make me happy
I know it may not fix the hinges
But at least the door has stopped it's creaking
I got friends
They're waiting for me to comb out my hair
Come outside and join the human race
But I don't feel so human
Can you make it better for me
Can you make me see the light of day
Because I got lab coats
Who will bring me a panacea
While I'm watching the weather channel
Waiting for the storm
You won't want me
Hanging around the birthday pony
Even though it's just a game
You know we are the same
Well I went to bed in Memphis
And I woke up in Hollywood
I got a quarter
in my pocket
And I'd call you if I could
But I don't know why
I gotta fly
I wanna rock and roll this party
I still wanna have some fun
I wanna leave you feeling breathless
Show you how the west was won
But I gotta fly
I gotta fly o
Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite o I ain't takin' shit off no one
Baby that was yesterday
I'm an all American rebel
Making my big getaway
Yeah you know it's time
I gotta fly
We got rockstars in the Whitehouse
All our popstars look like porn
All my heroes hit the highway
They don't hang out here no more
You can tell me on my cellphone
You can page me all night long
But you won't catch this freebird
I'll already be long gone
Like Steve McQueen
All we need's a fast machine
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
Pouring in and around the great wellspring
Of simple feeling
And I need bearings in the face of your
Cool cool fire
Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice
Makes my soul tired
And concrete is
As concrete doesn't
And voices can drown
Why should I
Solidify
Make me real
So you can see me
I guess you thought
I'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and
Make ice for you
You thought I'd seed my clouds
With the rain of your personal dreams
I guess you thought I'd throw confetti
At your parade of lofty thoughts
I guess you thought I'd shine good morning
In some good morning Jack
Surprise
Why should I
Solidify
Make me real
Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
Oooh....
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of tears
Without crying
Now i want to understand...
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding
You must help me, if you can...
Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise...
To leave them open for so long
Cause I have wondered through this world
And as each moment has infurred
I've been waiting
To awaken, from these dreams...
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until
I got the feeling-
That it's later, than it seems...
Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what they see
I hear their cries...
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries...
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor my eyes...
Cannot see the sky
Is this the price...
For having learned how not to cry..y.
Oooh...
Won't you help me understand
Oooh...
I wanna understand
Oooh...
I wanna understand
Oooh...
Oh, doctor, doctor help me, oh
Oooh...
I can hear the people crying
Oooh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oooh...
Help me understand
Oooh...
Help me understand
Mother, can you hold me together
It's so dark and I'm losing my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I did, it just faded away
Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart
Mother, your words are so healing
You speak of love and of light and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief
Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart
Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart
Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
You pick up the pieces
There's no looking back
There's no use in crying over what you never had
Please Mr. Pleaser
Don't leave us here so sad
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all
I got the news this morning
Something better came along
That's no kind of warning
When a good thing's gone wrong
But I got a feeling you'll be calling me back up
Cause what you had and what you want
Will never be enough
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all
Oh, what you gonna do when your heart begins to fall
One of these days you'll be down on your knees
Begging me please, yeah
Yeah
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah
Ohh, ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah, yeah
I got the news this morning
Something better came along
That's no kind of warning
When a good thing's gone wrong
But I got a feeling you'll be calling me back up
Cause what you had and what you want
Will never be enough
No what you had and what you want
Will never be enough
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all
Oh, what you gonna do when your heart begins to fall
One of these days you'll be down on your knees
Begging me please,
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah
Ohh, ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah, yeah
Cause you want a lover
And you want a friend
Cause You want it all baby
Straight to the end, yeah
Ohh yeah yeah yeah
Ah, in a white room with black curtains, near the stations
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Drawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
When I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll sleep in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation from the old wound now frogotten
Yellow tiggers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Wait here with you where the shadows run from themselves
I know I ask for nothing
And that's what I got from you tonight
I guess I thought you'd changed
Leaving becomes too easy
Easy by morning light
I still cannot explain
Is it enough to ask and not receive
Just one more kiss before you turn and leave
When love is over
Over it should be
But something still burns in me
A hundred solid reasons
The answers come in waves
But I'm all for calmer seas
You're only lost in the shuffle
But in your usual way
It's you who always comes to me
I've burned up pages
Hidden yesterdays
Here's one more glance before I turn away
When love is over
Over it should stay
But something won't go away
Hardly a moment passes
Hardly a single day goes by
I'm not remembering
Just to surrender slowly
Into a stranger's arms
But you stand watching in the wings
These must be days we've seen through tear-filled eyes
It all makes painful sense when I realize
When love is over
Something has to die
Cause you can say goodbye
Baby, why do they say the things they say
Would it be easier to live the way they say we should
Maybe, cannot but wonder back this way
Yours are the only arms that make me feel like something can be good
I believe it's just a fact of life
Unless they wear our shoes to them it's black and white
Ooohhhh
Just what does it matter anyway
What side of the road we're standing on
And just what does it matter anyway
If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone
If nothing changes after we are gone
Baby, don't let them rob you of your pride
There's not a thing I wouldn't do to make this easier for you
Maybe, every now and then I laugh and cry
It's getting harder now for me to separate the two
Where does innocence turn in to make believe
Cause make believe there's no one here but me and you
Ohhh
Just what does it matter anyway
What side of the road we're standing on
And just what does it matter anyway
If you throw my love away because the world don't think it's right
And they may never understand
And you can't change the minds of those who are blind
Unless you give them sight
And the world lies in your hand
Tell me, and just what does it matter anyway
If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone
If nothing changes after we are gone
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, Yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
but she don't care
She said that living with me is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
but she don't care
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think right
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think right
She ought to do right by me
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, Yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah, oh
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
but she don't care
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think right
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think right
She ought to do right by me
She said that living with me is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
but she don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
''Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?''
He just grinned and shook my hand, ''No'' was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said ''Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown''
She said ''I gotta go but my friend can stick around''
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
''Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?''
He said ''Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee
company?''
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said ''I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog''
I said ''Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man''
He said ''That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?''
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
God, I feel like hell tonight,
Tears of rage I cannot lie.
I'll be the last to love you understand,
Are you strong enough to be my man?
My man...
Nothing's true and nothing's right,
So let me be alone tonight.
Cause you can't change the way I am,
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me,
I promise, I'll believe.
Lie to me,
But please don't leave, don't leave.
I have a face I cannot show,
I make the rules up as I go,
Just try and love me if you can,
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Be my man...
Are you strong enough....to be my man (2x)
Are you strong enough....my man
When I've shown you that I just don't care,
When I'm throwing punches in the air.
When I've broken down and I can't stand,
Whould you be man enough to be my man?
Lie to me,
I promise, I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave.
Kid Rock:
Livin my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine
In three damn days
Been fuelin'up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
Sheryl Crow:
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin' just ain't right
I've been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
Together:
I saw you yesterday with an old friend (Sheryl Crow)
It was the same old same how've you been? (Kid Rock)
Since you've been gone my worlds been dark and grey (Together)
You reminded me of brighter days (Kid Rock)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay (Sheryl Crow)
I was headed to church (Sheryl Crow)
I was off to drink you away (Kid Rock)
Together:
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say I love you, come back home
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst
Slappin' leather was devised
During a wild streak in her life
She has a cheap apartment
Up on Royal Street
She brought home just enough
To keep her on her feet
She don't believe in anything
But it you ask her, she'll say
There's plenty of things to believe in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall
She was looking for a good time
So she made the call
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
Sneaky little priest trying to reach out to the swine
He said, "Hello my name is Father Tim
Seems to me your zeal for this life
Has been wearing a little thin"
Well, maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run and when to
I know you hate me, I see that now
If I was unhappy I'd be someone you could still care about
I think it's stupid and sad that everything turned out so bad
And enemies make the most interesting friends
I'm gonna write you a long letter
I'm gonna get you on the telephone
Three little words to make it all better
Maybe I'll leave this whole thing alone
Oh, it's a sad, sad world without you in it
And I'm a bad, bad girl for letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world without you around
We're too much alike for our own good
We both hate fighting, no matter how misunderstood
Well, I wanna tell you that you're stubborn
I wanna tell you, I never lied
And I wanna tell you
That your friends talk way too much
And I wanna know
What happened to that friend of mine
Oh, it's a sad, sad world without you in it
And I was a bad, bad girl for letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world without you around
Oh, it's a sad, sad world without you in it
And I'm a bad, bad girl for letting you down
I remember every fucked up minute
She was born in November 1963
The day Aldous Huxley died
And her mama believed
That every man could be free
So her mama got high, high, high
And her daddy marched on Birmingham
Singing mighty protest songs
And he pictured all the places
That he knew that she belonged
But he failed and taught her young
The only thing she's need to carry on
He taught her how to
Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
Past the arms of the familiar
And their talk of better days
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
so long
Baby loves to run
She counts out all her money
In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
Stares hopeful out the window
At the workers fighting
Through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she's pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on
So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
From the old familiar faces and
Their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
We take one step
One tiny step and we're on our way
To where we are from where we were
Just yesterday
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you
You'll be allright
I'm on your side
And we'll make it through
When you can't go on
I will be strong
Enough to carry you
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And nothing seems allright
The sun's gonna rise up with you
Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Skip a life completely
Stuff it in a cup
She said, 'Money is like us in time
It lies, but can't stand up
Down for you is up'
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves, you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Livin' my life in a slow hell different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sun shine in three damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey
I wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her

I called you last night in the hotel everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me somethin' just ain't right

It was the same old same how've you been?
Since you've been gone my world's been dark and gray
You reminded me of brighter days
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to church
I was off to drink you away
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say, I want you to come back home
Walking down the street of dreams, eating from the fruits of life
Tripping now on the smallest things
Trying to reach the light, trying to reach the light
Pick the key up off the floor, put the key into the lock
Turn the lock, open up the door
Look at all you've got, look at all you've got
All the sinners are saints, all you creatures of faith
Don't need to be afraid
If you know what I mean let me hear you say
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah
The world will turn even when we're gone
The earth will host many souls to come
Who will write the history?
Tales of wise men, villains, and innocent ones
All you shepherds and sheep, when you wake from your sleep
It will be a new day
If you know what I mean let me hear you say
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry
(Cry, cry, no more laughter)
I should be happy
(Oh, why did he go)
I only know that since he left
My life's so empty
Though I try to forget
It just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings
I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
Cause I still love him so
I spend each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out
(One less bell to answer)
I should be happy
(One less egg to fry)
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
(One less bell to answer)
(One less egg to fry)
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
He went away...
Here she comes, she's all dressed up in daises
Half the time, you'd swear that she is crazy
Flowered drinks and low-cut dress
That's the way I know her best
She says she's lonely, how could she be?
Every night she's got company
Oh Marie,
I sure hope you're happy
Oh Marie,
What about me, Marie
She likes the way she looks in her Camaro
She likes lingerie but he prefers the sombrero
She's so famous on the block
She stumbles home around four o'clock
She claims the guys are hard to please
She wears teen perfume behind her knees
All day long she fills me up with dogma
She's all magazines and benzedrine and vodka
There was one man she truly loved
He took everything but her bear-skin rug
And now and then it's clear to me
That need is love and love is need
Always an open door
It's obvious the trouble we're in
When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
He says he just happened to be in the neighborhood
But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
You say, "It's just a question of eliminating
obstacles"
As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
You say, "I know how you try"
But honey, let's eat out tonight
No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far
You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt
I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
But I think we're here to stay
I can't imagine it any other way
Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
When he looks at me and smiles
I've been watching you from the corner of my eye
I can't stand it, be too close, can't stand it
Be too far and I can't say why, yeah
And as the shadow fades
Where you walk away
My secret's written all across my face
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, ohh
Oh, I've been watching you from the corner of the sea
You are silent
Eyes of eyes
You are silent
Hands of hands
And I want them both on me
But in the quiet strain
The mention of your name
And I'm running from you
And running to you all the same
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight
Round and round we go
The shadows dance by so slow
But only for me to know
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight
Hey yeah
I only want you near me
Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar
(Repeat three times and Fade)
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
Merry, merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
I said merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Gave me diamond rings for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe
I said, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice, yes, you did
Yes, you did, yes, you did, yes, you did
I said merry, merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
I said, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm puttin' it through Al's mike
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my, on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I want to kiss you, baby
Underneath your mistletoe
I said merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Uncle Larry's hooked on ice again
He seems to be stuck in the 80's
He wears his members only jacket
Cause he thinks it turns on all the ladies
And all the white folks shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
I'll have mine in martini glasses
Cause I can't take it anymore
These are the days of empty kitchens
The rise and fall of Mary Ellen's hairdo
I think she's found a new religion
Studying the Kabalah in her J Crew
And all the rich kids shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
Well I'll have mine with Blackstrap molasses
Cause I can't taste it anymore
No I can't taste it anymore
My friend Greg says it's all good
As the eastern seaboard's blown away
Now everything is going half-price
So look at all the money we saved
And all the politicians shake their asses
Looking for the backdoor
I'll just be hanging out with the lasses
Cause they don't like the boys no more
We lay around just like gurus
In borrowed robes
And talk about nothing
Well maybe that's something
Maybe that's something
You stretch out across a long long table
Without hesitation
You say, "I'm willing and able"
Maybe that's something
Maybe that's one thing more than I've seen
Maybe that's something more than nothing
You say good, I say you should, will you be there?
Making miracles is hard work
Most people give up before they happen
More than nothing, more than nothing
Love and harmony, soul inspiration and prophecy
We make love and we make joy, one girl and one boy
Say, we are, everybody's eyes, take down your guise and recognize
There's only one way, if you leave me no choice, but to love you blind
Tell me people, who's leading who
And tell me people, who's following who
A world asleep, is a world in deep, oh yeah
We don't have to be this way
Everybody say, we are the world to come
A place of love and a world of one
One mind can generate, what we anticipate
Say, we make war when we couldn't make peace
Tell me who is the man in the driver seat
There's only one way, if you leave me no choice, but to love you blind
Tell me people, who's leading who
And tell me people, who's following who
A world asleep, is a world in deep, oh yeah, oh oh yeah
We don't have to be this way
Take clouds from the sky, everybody knows that we've got to try
Hold back the tears, and break that chain
Let love rule again
Signs will come of what we do now, you and me, and me and you
Love is all we need tonight, yeahhhhhh
Listen people, we don't have to be this way
Love and harmony, soul inspiration and prophecy
We make love and we make joy, one girl and one more boy
Say, we are, everybody's eyes, lay down your guns and recognize
There's only one way, if you leave me no choice,
We are the world to come, race of love, and a world of one
One mind can generate, what we anticipate
Say, we make war when we couldn't make peace
Tell me who is the man in the driver seat
Ooohhh there's only one way, yeahhh
Everybody knows that we've got to try
Hold back the tears, and break that chain
Let love rule again
Signs will come of what we do now, you and me, and me and you
Love you blind, love you blind
Well you stole my heart
And I'll get it back.
But look me in the eye, babe.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I've walked this world
Five times or more.
And after all this walking, babe
Still got me crawlin' on the floor.
Crawlin' on the floor.
And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning.
(Chorus)
How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay.
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Well I thought you listened,
But I'm shattered like broken glass.
Well I thought that we'd be different, babe.
Yeah I thought that we would last.
I thought that we would last.
And I know
This world keeps on spinnin'.
Every minute that you're in it.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Love me or leave me, baby
But don't lead me on.
With lovin' like yours,
Believe me baby, I'm better off
I'm better off alone.
Well I was your gypsy
Throwin' diamonds at your feet.
Driftin' round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need.
Everything you need.
And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning and yearning.
(Chorus)
How could you just break away?
Why can't you find the words to say?
Love is something you work at.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
How can you throw us away
Look at what you lost and
Now everything is shades of grey
And now you're pushin' me away
Say all the things you need to say
I thought we were goin' all the way
Play all the games you wanna play
Slowly that we just fade away.
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm gettin' old
Keeps me searchin for a heart of gold
And I'm gettin' old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searchin for a heart of gold
And I'm gettin' old
Keep me searchin for a heart of gold
You keep me searchin and I'm growin old
Keep me searchin for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold...
I've got nasty habits, I take tea at three
Yes and the meat I eat for dinner must be hung up for a week
My best friend he shoots water rats and feeds them to his geese
Dontcha think there's a place for you in between the sheets
Come on now honey, we can build a home for three
Come on now honey, don't you want to live with me
And there's a score of hare-brained children, they are a-locked in the nursery
They got earphone heads, they got dirty necks, they're so twentieth century
Well they queue up for the bathroom round about seven thirty-five
But dontcha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive
You'd look good pram pushing down the High Street
Come on now honey, don't you want to live with me
Oh the servants they're so helpful dear, the cook she is a whore
Yes the butler has a place for her behind the pantry door
The maid she's French, she's got no sense, she's from the Crazy Horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips, the footman's eyes get crossed
Dontcha think there's a place for us right across the street
Dontcha think there's a place for you in between the sheets
I woke up late
Put my sweater on
And I walked down to the shop
I stood in line
'Til the line was gone
And my turn to win was lost
What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clue?
Well I'm sending a letter to God
How will it be when I'm gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?
I took you in
Made a bed for you
And in turn you gave me some
Words to go on
Told me I was saved
But you never said what from
What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clues
To the questions you ask yourself at night?
Who will come through?
You'll be sending a letter to God
How will it be when you're gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?
A solid case
For the innocent
Could be made and laid to rest
They say, "it won't do
If you aren't like us
Then you've failed the final test"
What do you feel
When you look to the east and to the west
If this is real
Does it feel like some never ending test?
A finance deal
If this is my one last chance to invest
I've one request
I'll be sending a letter to God
To know where will I go when I'm gone
Well, I went searching
For something I could believe
So I turned on the TV
I was fed hypocrisy
Leading me towards a sea of confusion
I heard a voice
Ringing like music in the air
Breaking hearts most everywhere
All the people in despair
Cry out for justice to be fair to every people
Saying let's get free, let's get free
Don't just believe in what you hear
Don't just believe in what you see
Let's get free, let's get free
You've gotta open up your mind
'Cause truth is what you need
Oh, truth is what you need
All the love
Can prop you up and make you stand
Some are sinking in the sand
With all that silver in their hand
Take a message to that man
That wisdom is power
And tell me now
Do you have Allah on your side?
Or is it Jesus, or your pride?
Will it get you through the night?
Every man has to find something to believe in
Let's get free, let's get free
You gotta believe in what you feel
And feel what you believe
Let's get free, let's get free
You can open up your heart
'Cause love is all you need
Oh, love is all you need
Before the dawn
Comes the darkest hour of night
You either walk into the light
Or you turn and close your eyes
And fade into a dreamless sleep and hide
Well every human
Is gonna laugh and sometimes cry
But every tear that fills your eyes
Falls with the weight of sacrifice
Forgiveness is the pain of disappointment
Let's get free, let's get free
Don't just believe in what you hear
Don't just believe in what you see
Let's get free, let's get free
Everything's as it should be
So faith is all you need
Oh, peace is all you need
Oh, truth is all you need, yeah
What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love
Well we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well you can lean on me
She said, my breasts they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy
Yeah we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, well you can dream on me
I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drink my health in scented jasmin tea
You knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded faded junky nurse, oh what pleasant company
We all need someone we can feed on
And if you want it, well you can feed on me
Take my arm, take my leg
Oh baby don't you take my head
We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it baby, well you can bleed on me
We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, why don't you bleed on me
Get it on rider, get it on rider
Get it on rider, you can bleed all over me
Well lean on rider, dream on rider
Feed on rider, bleed on rider
Eres como una baraja caraja
por eso mi amor te deja pendeja
por eso mi amor te olvida
cabrona, jodida, malagradecida
Eres como una rueda en el aire
por eso vas a chingar a tu madre
por eso mi amor te olvida
cabrona, jodida, mujer ofrecida
ay viejas putas que dan el culo por un
elote siendo de ellas el maizal
Eres como el chileverde que muerde
por eso estas tan anciosa babosa
por eso mi amor te olvida
cabrona, jodida, malagradecida
Eres como el vino blanco tan blanco
que quiero tomar tequila jodida
solo es de pasada
y ya me despido vieja interesada
L' ci darem la mano,
L' mi dirai di s',
Vedi, non lontano,
Partiam, ben mio, da qui.
Vorrei, e non vorrei,
Mi trema un poco il cor
Felice, ver, sarei,
Ma pu' burlami ancor.
Vieni, mio bel diletto!
Mifa piet' Masetto. Io cangier' tua sorte
Presto non son pi' forte.
Andiam, andiam...
Andiam...
Andiam, andiam, mio bene,
A ristorar le pene
D'un innocente amor.
I woke up this mornin' with my makeup on
I've been fakin' it lately, but those days are gone
You look at me and wonder why
I got to cut these strings and learn to fly
But the girl is only in your mind
She's leavin' everything behind
She's not the girl that's gonna make it right
So you can kiss that girl goodbye
We're so glad you made it in this dead end town
Everybody's waiting for you to come down
You're gonna wake up from your dream
You're gonna find someone who looks like me
But the girl is only in your mind
She's leavin' everything behind
She's not the girl that's gonna make it right
So you can kiss that girl goodbye
You could look forever for someone like me
She's just a memory
So you can kiss the girl goodbye
Kiss that girl goodbye
So you can kiss the girl goodbye
So you can kiss this girl goodbye
Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams and he learned to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart
He said 'how could it come to this ?
I'm really worried about living
How could it come to this ?
Yeah, I really want to know about this'
Is it like today ? Oh, ooh
Then there came a day it moved out 'cross the Mediteranean
Came to Western isles of Greek young men
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
They could just sit and guess God's name
He said 'how could it come to this ?
We've been living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really wanna know about this' Is it like today ? Oh, ooh
Then there came a day man backpacked and flew off of the planet
He went to the moon (to the moon)
Now he's off in space, fixing all of the problems
He comes face to face with God
He said 'how could it come to this ?
I'm really worried about my creation
How could it come to this ?
You're really killing me you know'
Is it like today ? Oh, ooh
Is it like today? Oh, ooh
Many years ago man looked out through a glassless window
Didn't know much, not much, but he saw
You've left me now
And it's seasoned my soul
And with every step you take
I watch another part of you go
I continue to build a wall
You were so strong
I fell to my knees
And I don't think I can handle this at all
Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes and feel
To make you smile
I'd like to be there for you
Have you forgotten me?
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
My mind won't rest
And I don't sleep
Not even in my dreams
If you ever did believe
For my sake
If you ever did believe And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes and feel
To make you smile
I'd like to be there for you
Have you forgotten me?
Ooo....Ooo.....Ooo...
Ooo baby don't leave me
Ooo..Ooo...Ooo...Ooo
I'm down on my knees...
Ooo..Ooo...Ooo...Ooo
Begging you please...
Ooo...Ooo...Ooo...Ooo
Baby don't leave me...Did you ever believe?
yeaah yeaah yeaaah
if god had a name
what would it be?
and would you call it to his face?
if you were faced with him?
in all his glory what would you ask if you had just one question
yeah yeah
god is great
yeah yeah
god is good
yeah yeah
yeeah yeah yeah
What if god was one of us?
just a slob like one of us?
"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere, apropos
Of nothing. He says his name's William but I'm sure
He's Bill or Billy, Mac or Buddy, he's plain ugly to me.
And I wonder if he's ever had fun in his life.
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts and suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store,
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me.
Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud and shred them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
Before blowing and cursing them out - and he's watching
The Buds as they spin on the floor
A happy couple enters the bar dangerously close
The bartender looks up from his want ads.
Chorus
Otherwise the bar is ours, and the day and the night
And the car wash too, the matches and the Buds
And the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon.
Chorus
(Wyn Cooper, Sheryl Crow, Bill Bottrell, David Baerwald, Kevin Gilbert)

Cover your heart
Put on mask
Dance with my slowly
Is all that i ask
What is the hardest?
Falling in love
Knowing just where to begin or start
I will walk
I will walk with you
I will walk with you
Lay down beside me
Tell me your dreams
The view from inside
Is not what it seems
But no one will hurt you
Not like before
Your last thread of forgiveness
Won't reach the door no..
I will walk
I will walk with you
I will walk with you
I will walk
I will walk with you...yeah..
Pull up the curtains
Watch the night fall
Who has the answers
When no body calls?
Now the life fury
Blame the sunrise next
Because I was in love with you
But I can't change the past
I will walk
I will walk with you
I will walk with you..
You walk in
To my dreams
With a halo and a bottle of cheap wine
You wrote your name
On my jeans
And now i can't erase you from my mind
Not this time
Chorus:
I want you, I want you
And could it be your really want me too
I want you
You know it's true
And i'm so happy that you want me too
You say yes
To this world
But your green eyes are always best in show
So don't forget
I'm your girl
Whenever you see someone elsem you know
Well dont let it go, 'cause
Chorus
Don't want to sell you nothing
Tie you up and keep you running
I just want a friend to call my own
I've been chewed up and spit out
Passed over, forgot about
Until you picked me up and took me home
Chorus
Don't want to sell you nothing
Tie you up and keep you running
I just want a friend to call my own
I want you
You know it's true
And i'm so happy you want me too.
I stood in the warmth of night
Chilled to the bone
Hundreds of faces in sight
Still I'm alone
Door after door
Room after empty room
I've stood here before
But under a different moon
In the longest days, in the darkest night
Down the longest road, there's a presence of light
But I hear a voice that calls me
It's love's name I'll call in the end
I've walk in and out of the fire
Between truth and lies
Now how many children watch
While one child cries
Tear down these walls
And watch while our souls are freed
I've thrown away pride
To drown in this endless sea
Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me
Ten years living in a paperbag
Feedback baby, he's a flipped out cat
He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer
Mercedes rule, and a rented lear
Bottom feeder insincere
Prophet lo-fi pioneer
Sell the house and go to school
Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
God's little gift is on the rag
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde
Wear your fake fur on the inside
Queen of south beach, aging blues
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Chasing dragons with plastic swords
Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor
And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board
I've been thinking 'bout catching a train
Leave my phone machine by the radar range
Hello it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Hello, it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
(Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott/Brian MacLeod)
I met a ginsoaked barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind off a flight
The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I strolled on the boulevard bars of Paris
As naked as the day that I will die
The sellers they're so charming there in Paris
But they just don't seem to sail you off my mind
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Oh God said to Abraham, 'Kill me a son'
Abe says, 'Man, you must be puttin' me on'
God says, 'No.' Abe says, 'What?'
God says, 'You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run'
Well Abe says, 'Where do you want this killin' done?'
God says, 'Out on Highway 61.'
Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard where can I go
Howard said there's only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man I got to run
0l' Howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down on Highway 61
Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61 Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step into the light
He says hmm you're right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61
Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61
Never kept a dollar past sunset
Always got a hole in my pants
Never took candy from strangers
Always get a second chance
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I need a love to make me happy

yeah yeah yeah..baby wont you make me
baby wont you make me
happy baby..happy
pressinto os teus passos,na escuridão
pressinto o teu corpo no ar,aqui
e vou como se o mundo todo fosse sugado pra denro de ti
e não houvesse nada a fazer senão deixar-me ir
pressinto os teus gestos,quando não estás
procuro os teus sonhos perdidos
e hoje mais que qualquer outra noite
há qualquer coisa que me fere
e que me faz querer tanto ter te aqui
REFRAO:
Não importa se ás vezes tudo é breve como um sopro
Não importa se for uma gota só
De loucura que faça oscilar o teu mundo
E desfaça a fronteira entre a lua e o sol
se o gesto cair assim,despedaçado
se eu não souber recolher,a dor
se te esperar a céu aberto onde se esconde
o que tu és que eu também sou
é que hoje mais que qualquer outra noite
há qualquer coisa que me fere
e que me faz querer tanto ter te aqui
(REFRAO)x3

Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon and dig your grave, yeah
Well, it's a heartless challenge
You pick your path and then you pray
You wake up in the mornin'
You see your sunrise, loves to go down
Lousy lovers, they pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, no, they don't cry out
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now ? Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Rock on, ancient queen, follow those who pale in your shadow
They say 'Rulers, they make bad lovers'
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Well you better sell it, sell it
Did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now? Do you know how?
Pickup the pieces and go home
Did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love ?
Now tell me, is it over now? Do you know how?
Pickup the pieces and go home, go home, go home
Ooh, pale shadow of a woman
Ooh, black widow, yeah
Ooh, pale shadow, she's a dagger
Gold dust woman
Ooh, pale shadow of a woman
I sold my house, I sold my car.
I took a job, At Milly's bar.
I met a man who was running from the government.
Ah, he want's to be a free man, yeah.
Ah, he want's to be a free man, yeah.
He took me out, to his campsite.
I met his friends, they seemed alright.
Until I noticed everybody seemed real uptight.
They just wanna be free men now.
They just wanna be free men now.
They just wanna be free men now.
Pardon me man.
Oh, but who is your mother,
Oh, and didn't she say,
You should love one another.
He showed me how, to load a piece.
To shoot it straight, between the teeth.
And the next thing i know I think I've fallen in love.
And I'm living with a free man now.
Oh, now I'm cooking for the free man now.
He took me out, in his old truck.
He told me anyone who ain't white sucks.
That's when i realised i'd made a big mistake.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh, but pardon me man.
Oh, who's your mother.
And didn't she teach you,
She should love one another.
Late one night, I snuck away.
To use the phone, so i could say.
I'd appreciate a little bit of government.
Cause I'm married to a free man now.
Oh, I'm married to a free man now.
Yeah I'm married to a free man now.
Well I'm married to a free man now.
Yeah I'm married to a free man now.
Oh I'm married to a free man now.
I'm running from the free man
Running from the free man,
Running from the free man now.
Oh i'm running from the free man now,
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Strange imaginations, children hide your secrets well
Is it not temptation, makes you kiss and makes you tell?
There's a traveler on the airwaves, and he's pleading for my heart
Light up all the candles, I'm still in the dark
Hurry operator, get redemption on the line
Pull back the curtains, I think I recognize those eyes
If love is so criminal, then my penance due
'Cause I'm still holding onto letters written straight to you
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun
I swore I needed you in the back of my mind
Laid the beads upon the table, right beside the wine
It seems that we say forever, but forever's just a word
"And I will be coming back for you" is all I heard [Chorus]
Please don't forget me, father sun, father sun
I think I hear him whispering
"Put your hand in my hand and you won't feel a thing"
[Chorus]
Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
Oh won't you save me, save me, save me
save me, save me, father sun
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth
Bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
And I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea, yeah
How the faces of love have changed
Turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you
You remain ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
And I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea, yeah
To the sea, yeah
I turned around and the water was closing around me
I turned around and the water was closing around me
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man...
To be the sad man...
Behind blue eyes.
No one knows what it's like
To be hated...
To be fated...
To telling only lies.
But my dreams -
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely...
My love is vengeance
That's never free.
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do...
And I blame you.
No one bites back as hard
On their anger.
None of my pain and woe
Can show through.
But my dreams -
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely...
My love is vengeance
That's never free.
When my fist clenches crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool.
When I smile tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool.
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat.
If I shiver please give me a blanket.
Keep me warm...Let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man...
To be the sad man...
Behind blue eyes.
(cover of the original by The Who)
I am strong
I am able
I spill milk on your table
Then I crawl like a baby
Just to see if you save me
I am sweet
I am ugly
I am mean if you love me
I'll try hard just to please you
When I say I don't need you
I dress up with a conscience
When I think you'll be watching
I say all the right things
I don't know what I mean
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
Am I
Am I
Getting Through
I am ignorant and rude
I am fashionably crude
And sometimes when it's quiet
I'm an angel in white
When I pose in the mirror
I want everyone near me
I am scared that I'm weird
I'm afraid I am queer
I am lovely and weak
I am foul when I speak
I am strange when I'm kind
I am frying my mind
I don't care, I don't care
Jesus loves me I know
For my mom told me so
I'm a loser at love
I'm a flower in the mud
Don't you hate it
When the money starts to running out
Your esoteric rants
Were made to twist and shout
I heard you moved
Now you're hangin on the Moulin Rouge
Don't you know no matter where you go
Somebody's always watching you
That's what they say
That's what they say
When the pages fade the love you made
Will seem one hundred light years away
That's what they say
Sleep, my child
And peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels
God will send thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours
Are creeping
Hill and dale
In slumber sleeping
I my loving
Vigil keeping
All through the night
While the moon
Her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world
Is sleeping
All through the night
O'er thy spirit
Gently stealing
Visions of delight
Revealing
Breathes a pure
And holy feeling
All through the night
Though I roam
A minstrel lonely
All through the night
My true harp shall
Praise sing only
All through the night
Love's young dream
Alas, is over
Yet my strains of love
Shall hover
Near the presence
Of my lover
All through the night
Hark
A solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night
Thou, my love
Art heavenward winging
Home through the night
Earthly dust
From off thee shaken
Soul immortal
Shalt thou awaken
With thy last dim
Journey taken
There's a time for love, and a time for healing
You can't go back and undo what's been done
Word of mouth, time is revealing
Just how far we've let this kingdom come
Hand in hand, we're finding our way
And today is just tomorrow's yesterday
Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
Yeahhhh
A kiss of life, and the hand of faith
A boy grows up into his father's son
And he learns to love, he's been taught to hate
To carry on the way it has been done
All our lives it's debts to repay
And then someday we can put the past away
Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world
Yeahhhh
In a moment, things can change
One look behind and it's never the same
Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
(all kinds of people of people in this world)
Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world
Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world
Ten years living in a paperbag,
Feedback baby, He's a flipped out cat,
He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer,
Mercedes rule, and a rented lear.
Bottom feeder insincere,
High fed low fat pioneer,
Sell the house and go to school.
Pretty young girlfriend, daddy's jewel.

God's little gift is on the rag,
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag,
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde?
Wear your fake fur on the inside.
Queen of south beach, aging blues,
Dinners at six, wear your cement shoes,
I thought you were singing your heart out to me,
Your lips were singing and now I see.

Chasing dragons with plastic swords,
Jack off Jimmy everybody wants more,
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor,
And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board.
I've been thinking 'bout catching a train,
Leave my phone machine by the radar range,
"Hello it's me, I'm not at home,
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone"

I hate the world today
Your so good to me I know but I can't change.
I tried to tell you But you look at me like maybe i'm an angel
underneath Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried,Must of been relieved to see a softer side
I can understand how you would be so confused
I dont envie you
I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one
(Chorus)
I'm a bitch,I'm a lover
I'm a child ,I'm a mother
I'm a sinner,I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell,I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
you know you wouldnt want it any other way.
So take me as I am this may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest a sure that when I start to make you nervous
And i'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change and today wont mean a thing!
I'm a bitch,I'm a lover
I'm a child ,I'm a mother
I'm a sinner,I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell,I'm your dream
I'm nothin in between
you know you wouldnt want it any other way.
Just when you think you got me figured out
The seasons already changing
I think its cool you do what you do
And dont try to save me
I'm a bitch,I'm a lover
I'm a child ,I'm a mother
I'm a sinner,I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell,I'm your dream
I'm nothin in between
you know you wouldnt want it any other way.
I'm a bitch,I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel under cover
I've been numb
I'm revived
Can't say i'm not alive
And I wouldnt want it any other way!
(ooooooh oohhhhh)
Give us what you got
Girl you got a lot
Seems you got an itch that's scratching
Lay it like it plays
Play it like it lays
All your Easter eggs are hatching
In your Cadillac
Reaching for your jack
There's nothing we can tell you
Just a little queen
Dirty mouth and mean
There's nothing we can sell you o
You're an original, baby Like we've never seen before
You're an original, baby
Turn around and you're looking at a hundred more o Deadly in the sack
Grooving to The Clash
On some kind of wasted weekend
Pretty little girl
Expensive little world
Curiosity is peeking
Here today and gone by morning
Your ice cream cone is melting fast
Maybe Monday, maybe someday
Your lucky star won't fly on past
Turn around and you're looking at a hundred more
Turn around and you're looking at a hundred more
Turn around and you're looking at a hundred more
Caught you in a pose
That everybody knows
Downstairs they're playing Kenton
The house set to swing
I lay in my bed
And listen to everything
Cause Leo's in rare form tonight
His trombone sings so sweet
This is the room
Where they all come to meet
He said
I do what I can
I live for the moment
And that's who I am
Yeah that's who I am
And isn't it good
If we could freeze moments in time
We all would
But I do what I can
I do what I can
Downstairs he's playing Kenton
The Magnavox sighs
But oh how the music has changed
In all of our lives
He says "nobody listens
To modern jazz"
And I'll never have what those guys have
He says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And that's who I am
Yeah that's who I am
And it's good to be alive
But everything's different since Leo died
I do what I can
Is this the end of the modern world
What could it mean for a young girl
Who sees the pain on his face
He does what he can
The procession on the TV screen
What could it possibly mean for a man
Who's come this far just to turn around
Could there still be life in Kenton's swing
With the Kennedys gone and everything
Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
Riots down the street and discontented mothers
We do what we can
Downstairs it's quiet
Less alive somehow
Somehow he was everything that I am now
And he says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And that's who I am
And that's who I am
But it's good to be alive
And these are the choices
We make to survive
Darlin' I'm killed
I'm in puddle on the floor
Waiting for you
To return
Oh, what a trill
Vacillations good Lord
How to tease?
How you leave me to burn?
It's so deadly my dear
The power of wanting you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there will no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies
Darling you won
It's no fun
Martinis, girls and guns
It's murder on our love affair
You bet your life
Every night
While you chase every morning die
You're not the only spy out there
It's so deadly my dear
The power of wanting you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there will no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say, there will no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Until the day
Until the day
The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
But the town has no need to be nervous
The ghost of Belle Starr, she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun who violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce
Mama's in the fact'ry, she ain't got no shoes
Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for the fuse
I'm in the streets with the tombstone blues
The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
Screaming she moans, "I've just been made"
Then she sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
Says, "My advice is to not let the boys in"
Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
"Stop all this weeping and swallow your pride
You will not die, it's not poison"
Mama's in the fact'ry, she ain't got no shoes
Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for the fuse
I'm in the streets with the tombstone blues
Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up to his hero the Commander-in-Chief
"Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"
The Commander-in-Chief answers him, chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun is not yellow it's chicken"
Mama's in the fact'ry, she ain't got no shoes
Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for the fuse
There is a star that shines tonight for all the world to see
So far away my lover is, please bring him home to me
The world is weary and unrest to settle on us all
Tonight my Christmas wish will be for all to heath the call
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines tonight
Once the angel did appear to say be not afraid
But the angels watching over you is the prayer that I will pray
And as we gather around the tree and sing those Christmas songs
Will hear your voice above the fray until you're safely home
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines for you and me
And while we wait for freedoms bells to ring throughout the world
The Christmas wish remains the same of every boy and girl
That when that glorious sun does rise and melt away their fears
That you'll be home this time to stay and waiting by the tree
Peace on Earth and in our hearts
That love ring out, ring near and far
Oh, and lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
I read your book
And I find it strange
That I know that girl and I know her world
A little too well
And I didn't know
By giving my hand
That I would be written down, sliced around,
Passed down
Among strangers hands
Three days in Rome
Where do we go
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome
Never again
Would I see your face
You carry a pen and a paper
and no time and words you waste
You're a voyeur
The worst kind of thief
To take what happened
To write down everything that went on
Between you and me
Three days in Rome
And I stand alone
I'll always remember
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Ooh, sweet love of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
(Sweet child)
Ooh, where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go ?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we now?
Now now now now now now now
Every little thing that I felt that day
Never will forget, there was love in the air
I wasn't looking for love to come my way
Ooh baby baby but then I saw you there
That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you
I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine
Did you ever think you knew everything?
Did you ever think you had it all figured out?
Ooh baby baby
You know things can change
But someone (?)
That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you
Can you hear me, baby?
When I say I'm for you
I knew we could make it
The moment you came into my life
Don't you know that you keep me (?)
That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you
And I'm gonna let it shine
Yeah, I'm gonna let it shine
Yes, I'm gonna let it shine
I just want to let it shine
God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
My man
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Are you strong enough my man?
When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
Short circulated
Sleeping through the dopamine
When you've got nothing to fear
Too low to notice
Superman in disco jeans
Having a good time
Just wish I was here
Resuscitation
Bring me around
Resuscitation
Bring me down
So separated
Under watergun ballet
When you've got no map
You've got no place to go
Some sexy killjoy
Bring everybody down
Well, I eat confusion
And spit it out slow
Resuscitation
Bring you 'round
Resuscitation
Bring you down
The road is paved with hope and glory
But my shoes are hiding under the bed
I need a little evaluation
Rejuvenation
Of soul and head
So underneath
Hanging on the bathroom rug
Holding it together
With rubber bands and chewing gum
This mansion's crashing
I'm just the butler's maid
What do we care
We just need our own parade
Resuscitation
Bring me down
Resuscitation
My friend the Communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddle squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm Looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don't have no master suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
Fortunately you've got someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It's so much too late to turn away
We started out as friends
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Time i'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you olay
I'd rather be in hell with you baby
Then in cool heaven, it seems to be the way
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But ohthe light shines bright
In a peacefull day,stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain
All alone with you,makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love,and the earth rotates on our dictates
Slowly we make love...............
I walked the heat of seven hills
Endless talk of losing wills
Great highways in a constant melt
Men and women and children all have overbuilt
Buying bread and paying for none
Creatures of a waning sun
Teacher's hands are overrun
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Can lead to madman oil drillers
Won't be long before we all are killers
Little boy lost way up the mountains
Cities drowning under boiling fountains
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
I was trembling in a golden haze
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
Celebrate the golden cow
Praise the bloated bank account
If there's a god where is he now
The precipice is slipping further out
Sanskrit message from the mounts
Leave your possession, hope abounds
There's nothing here for you to cry about
We're all just followers from here on out
I take the stage, I walk the planks
I sing these songs with little thanks
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
I found my way to alexandria
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
All the junk that should have damned ya
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
If everything in life was free
You'd float in your own reverie
The things that you could never see
seal the gap between you and me
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Like a rocket ascending into space
Could you not be sad
Could you not break down
After all I won't let go o
Until you're safe and sound
Until you're safe and sound
There's beauty in release
There's no one left to please
But you and me o I don't blame you for quitting
I know you really try
If only you could hang on through the night
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be scared
All our friends are waiting there
Feel like I could've held on
Feel like I could've let go
Feel like I could've helped you
Feel like I could've changed you
Feel like I could've held you
Feel like I could've hurt you
Feel like I was a stranger
Feel like I was an angel
Feel like I was a hero
Feel like I was a zero
Feel like I could have changed you
Feel like I could have healed you
Feel like I could have saved you
Feel like I should've heard you
Feel like I could have moved you
Feel like I could have changed you
Feel like I could have healed you
Feel like I should've told you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I could've saved you
Feel like I could've saved you
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
With a flame and a book of signs
You'll never know how hard I've failed
Trying to make up for lost time
Once I believed in things unseen
I was blinded by the dark
Out of the multitude to me
He came and broke my heart
When the dust in the field has flown
And the youngest of hearts has grown
And you doubt you will ever be free
Don't bail on me
River is wide and oh so deep
And it winds and winds around
I dream we're happy in my sleep
Floating down and down and down
And the tide rushes by where we stand
And the earth underneath turns to sand
And we're waiting for someone to see
Honey, Don't bail on me.
Tell ma I loved the man
Even though I turned and ran
Lovely and fine I could have been
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Staying down in the palm of his hand
In the morning you wait for the sun
And secretly hope it won't come
But time washes everyone clean
Buddy now, don't bail on me
Don't bail on me
I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
I'm American made, Bud Light, Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right
I was born in the South, sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it
We been driving this road for a mighty long time
Payin' no mind to the signs
Well this neighborhood's changed, it's all been rearranged
We left that change somewhere behind
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby you were screamin', it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe you got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone
Real gone, real gone
There's a new cat in town, he's got high paid friends
Thinks he's gonna change history
You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy
Come on now
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby, you were screamin', it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way
To get real gone, real gone
Real gone, real gone, uh
Well, you can say what you want but you can't say it 'round here
'Cause they'll catch you and give you a whippin'
Well, I believe I was right when I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now did ya?
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby, you were screamin', it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you got your blinders on
Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone
Well, here I come and I'm so not scared
Got my pedal to the metal, got my hands in the air
Well, look out, you take your blinders off
Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone
Real gone, real gone, ooh!
Wake me up when you are over 'cause I don't want to hear you say
That you've got worries on your shoulder
Well, I'd love to say they'd up and go away
I know that you ain't cryin' but that don't mean that you don't feel
Deep inside you might be dying that may be the only thing that's ever real
It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
You lick your bitter wounds, turn and blame the government
Establishment, hide your head so no one sees you when you're down
Wake me up when you are over let me know how long it took
If you ever need my sympathy
Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look
I know when you get older you'll learn the art of how to please
But right now you're just getting colder
And my love is gonna bring you to knees
It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, turn and blame the government
Establishment, hide your head so no one sees you when you're down
If you need me, I am able and if you need me, I'll be here
But when you reach across the table
Burn like a cigarette
All inside my head
Reminding me not to forget
Words, words I'd never say
Things along the way
Their telling me that I'm the best
'Cause your face it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that you've hid
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and took me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
Help, help is on the way
That's what they all say
It's a thing that they don't know
'Cause I, I know everything
And maybe it's just a ring
But that won't make me let it go
Look at your face it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that your here
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
Look at your face doesn't look like it did
You hide your love
But your not willing now to give, willing now to give
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
I feel like cherry wine
Like Valentines
Like a Spring is coming
And everything is all right
I've got a love that's new
I hear you're happy too
That's the way it should be
But lately I feel like crying o
I wanna get over you
But you're everywhere
And I just can't get away
I gotta get over you
Cause it's just not fair
That I still see your face o
I heard your name today
I walked away
Cause everyone's still talking
I don't need that in my life
Got better things to do
Than worry about you
I'm gonna keep on walking
But sometimes I don't know why
Well we had a good time
But time goes on
You didn't really want me until I was gone
I wanna get over you
Before you get over me
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
If you feel you wanna fight me
There's a chain around your mind
When something is holding you tightly
What is real is so hard to find
Losing babies to genocide
Oh where's the meaning in that plight
Can't you see that we've really bought into
Every word they proclaimed and every lie, oh
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Someone's feeding on your anger
Someone's been whispering in your ear
You've seen his face before
You've been played before
These aren't the words you need to hear
Through the dawn of darkness blindly
You have blood upon your hands
All the world will treat you kindly
But only the heart can understand, oh understand
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart
Every man is his own prophet
Oh every prophet just a man
I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves
Teach your children best you can
Let every man bow to the best in himself
We're not killing any more
We're the wisest ones, everybody listen
'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Is this just a dream?
Dont wanna change a thing about you.
And all my lonely days seem so far away without you.
You say you're happy now.
You say the love you found is easy.
But every now and then, Can't help but wonder where ________ been.
Dont you know that I need ya.
I only want to please ya.
Dont know why you keep holding back.
Baby dont you know that...while your hesitating...baby our love is fading...still you keep me hanging on.
While you wait for the right time - every day turns to night time until one day love is gone.
I called you one the phone - seems like your never home but I know.
Its not that you dont care I think its that your scared to let go
Dont have to tell me twice I made the sacrifice to hold on
I could be ____ your playing with my head and thats wrong
Dont you know that I love you and there aint no one above you
Dont know why you keep holding back
Baby dont you know that while your hesitating, baby our love is fading but you keep me hanging on
While you wait for the right time, every day turns to night time until one day love is gone
While you're hesitating, baby our love is fading, but you keep me hanging on
I cant tell you why something deep inside has died
I could try and try but I cant bring it back to life
Someday when your older and you've searched the world over
You might wish you could hold someone
Baby when you look for me, I'll be a memory
When your hesitating, baby our love is fading, but you keep me hanging on
Oooh While you wait for the right time, every day turns into night time
You just keep me hanging on
While youre hesitating ,baby our love is fading, you just keep me you just keep me hanging on, hanging on
Oooh until one day love is gone
I left a man
Asleep in the nude
My name is my pocket
With lipstick and rouge
Everything I ever wanted,
What a lovely pie you baked,
Is anybody listening/
Don't the painted birds ever fly away
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away
The walls have been talking
About me again
I'm good for a joke, but when I awoke
The dream didn't end
Now everytime I turn around
I'm only sleeping, John, is anybody out there?
Don't the wounded birds still sing?
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
I stood close enough to hear you say
"Do as the beautiful ones do"
I tore up my picture from its frame
I just wanted to be one of you
I'm standing on the outside, lookin'
Funny how you see the truth
But the feeling does come back to you
She's crazy as anyone can be
That's what they say, they say of me
Wanting love can make one do
It isn't my fault, heredity
I'm standing on the outside, lookin' lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
I'm standing on the outside, lookin' lookin'
Cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling does come back again
This morning feels like yesterday
Yesterday follows me around
Where do you go when no one cares?
Six feet under, underground
I'm standing on the outside, lookin' lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
I'm standing on the outside, lookin' lookin'
Cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling will come back again
Well I can see heaven
See it over the plain
If I start running now
I think I can make it
And never look back again
Your face is all around me
Your keys are in my hand
And everywhere I go
I'll try to remember
Exactly who I am
'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
We made a bed of roses
But I got pricked by the thorns
And on a long cold night
I still think I'm bleeding
But I wake up untorn
Well I am a missing person
I've lost it all but my name
And, I'm afraid some long lonely road
Will lead me back to you again
Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nobody's watching me
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place that I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Little white girl
In a shiny black car
Hanging out with her friends
And doing black tar
Daddy pays for the wedding
With a fist full of dollars
Cost as much
As the state of Guatemala
Oh why
Even try?
Well I got a big car
And a flat screen TV
All my loser friends
And my boyfriend's family
Bring bags of food
And watch reality freakshows
Everybody's faking it
But nobody thinks so
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
Skinny young dude
In a hundred dollar tee shirt
In King James kicks
And a brand new manicure
Hotties doing pilates
With the snotties and the pleasers
Sneaking in the back door
At Coconut Teasers
Even try?
Well, I dropped out of school
When I was seventeen
'Cause I didn't have time
To study my magazines
'Cause there's a lot to learn
From the privileged few
Like how to build a brand
Wearing high heeled shoes
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
Yeah, it's all mine
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious planswhole world's waiting for me
Every step of the way
We walk the line
Your days are numbered
So are mine
Time is piling up
We struggle and we scrape
All boxed in
Nowhere to escape
The city's just a jungle
More games to play
I'm trapped in the heart of it
Trying to get away
I was raised in the country
Been working in the town
I been in trouble since I
Set my suitcase down
I ain't got nothing for you
I had nothing before
Don't even have anything
For myself anymore
Sky's full of fire
And the rain is pouring down
There's nothing you can sell me
So I'll see you around
All my powers of expression
And thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice
Reason or rhyme
There's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
The devil's in the alley
The mule kickin' in the stall
Say anything you wanna
I've heard it all
I was thinking about the things that she said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in you bed
Walking through the leaves
Falling from the trees
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
So many things we never will undo
I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind
Well I got here, following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
There's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well my ship's been split to splinters
I's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison
Got no future
Got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me
Everybody's moving if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Well stick with me baby anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet
Tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
The emptiness is endless
Cold as clay
You can always come back
But you can't come back all the way
Well there's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
The only thing that I did wrong
Feeling weak today
Run the risk of tears
Falling down your cheeks
From all the lonely years
Holding back your love
While she races up the hill
Chase what you dream of
But always standing still
All and all you see
Everything is history
Think of all that you've been missing
And every now and then
Shadows bring you back again
To think of all the things you're missing
Lay the pictures out
Pull the curtains down
Don't let us see you breathe
Your happiness you fake
Sending up a flare
If anybody really cares
To talk a little while
The past to reconcile
All in all you see
Everything is history
Think of all the things you're missing
Every now and then
I can almost picture him
Think of all the things
Of all the things
Of all the things
Well I do
I do
Hear the morning creeping in
And the spirit sings again
Well you will
You will
See the beauty in this moment
Every time you're standing still
Time you're standing still
These times are temporary
Someday the wind will carry you home
And you'll be free
And you'll be free
No one will pull you down
You'll wake up and look around
And never again
Think of all, all that you've been missing
Ohh ohh ohh
All that you've been missing
All and all you see
Everything is history
Six-lane highway running up to my back door
But it won't take me where I want to be
I took the I-95 down to Pensacola
All I found was a bunch of holyrollers
The don't know nothing about saving me
I swear they're out there,
I swear, I swear they're out there,
I swear, I swear they're out there,
I swear, maybe angels, maybe angels
Down here I feel like a citizen of nowhere
My bag's all packed in case they ever come for me
Got a hundred stories and tabloid lies
Got witnesses to what the government denies
So I'm headed down to Roswell to wait and see
Oh what a mystery
Oh, I believe, I believe, I could leave
My sister, she says she knows Elvis
She knows Jesus, John Lennon, and Cobain personally
Well, but I'm too wise to believe my eyes
Cause all I've seen just terrifies me
I stare into
Some great abyss
And calculate
The things I'd miss
If I could only
Make some sense of this
And Madam Butterfly
Resounds
Over the mothership
Her lights flashing around
I float above her and
I wonder how
To make it go away
Make it go away
I crawl into my circumstance
Lay on the table
Begging for another chance
But I was a good girl
I can't understand how to
Make it go away
Make it go away
Sometimes I wonder
Which hurts the worse
The thought of dying
Or reliving every hurt
Was love the illness
And disease the cure
The world could fall apart
But you're my heart, my dear
I will sing this song
'Til we are gone, my dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you'll go out and you'll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know
Cause you were mine
For a time
I could shape your mind
But why waste time, my dear
There's so much more to know
And I can show you dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you'll go out and you'll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know
Cause you were mine
For a time
I have held you close
And breathed your name, my dear
I was with you then
And will remain, my dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you will find love like I did some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know
Cause you were mine
I want to take you down to the river
I want to wash the blood from your hands
I want to make you see
You belong to me
You won't ever win
I want to walk out over the water
I want to tear my heart from my chest
I want to change my face
Wanna leave this place
Start all over again
Well don't you know
You're wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You walk in through the out door
Oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
I want to turn you into a Corvette
I want to drive you out of your mind
I want to watch your face
When you reach that place
That you could never find
I want to make you scream for mercy
I want to break the silence within
And take you to your knees
Just like you did me
And crawl around in your skin
Oh don't you know
Wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You walk out through the in door
Oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
Oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You went in through the out door
You tasted
What you never had before
You wasted everything
And now you're such a bore
Oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted
Oh, cause I know what you did
Wasted
Oh, you're a lucky kid
I got your number
One, two, three!
She got a shack
Floating down the Pontchartrain
With the water rolling in
You gotta swim
before the levees start to crack
Another day
Another dollar down the drain
You go to town
No one's around
Cause if you drown
there ain't no hope for coming back
It ain't no big thing if you lose your faith
They kinda like to keep you in your place
You never know what might be coming your way
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
You go to church
and pray to God for no more rain
A Cadillac
A paper sack
well hey there Jack
you want some bourbon for the pain
Hey tambourine
Ain't no rhythm on the street
With the voodoo
What do you do
when the radio just plays on anyway?
Those crazy fingers in your jelly jar
They'll jack your money
while you sleep in you car
They got the karma
they ain't getting too far
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
My money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Yeah everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold of me
oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Love is free
Everyone is talking about me
How my heart is broken
But they don't see
When you're lonely inside
The world looks so carefree
When you're lonely inside
You just can't see
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Is that Love Is All There Is
Every now and then
There comes a time
Someone comes along
To change your mind
You believe it's unwise
To give in to careless dreams
You believe it's a prize
You'll never win
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Is that Love Is All There Is
You believe it's unwise
To give in to careless dreams
If you don't see that is why
You will never know
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Teach me the golden rule
Make me a lovesick fool
In the light of day, let sorrow drift away
Crown of thorns has many jewels
Songs of glory sung in hate
Only destroy what love has made
And if the kingdom comes, don't wanna be the one
That is standing in the way
Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the rivers flow
We will meet again
On the long road home
They say they've seen His face
They say He's called their name
I have heard their lies, heard the people's cries
Time has come, it's getting late
All the stories I have heard
Enlightened ones who walked the earth
They bring me sweet relief, rid me of human grief
I am free from every hurt
Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the river flows
We will meet again
On the long road home
Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong
You hear Sylvester sing a simple song
What they've been saying for, oh, so long
'Cause love and happiness is what's going on
(Wind blows)
(Rivers flow)
We will meet again
On the long road home
Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the rivers flow
We will meet again
On the long road home
Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the river flows
We will meet again
You get high-jacked, waiting at the bus stop
By Jesus, who's working at the pawn shop
Escaped by, barely in the picture
But never far from the lens
You'd never risk it, inherently self-conscious
So twisted, resting on your haunches
So mystic, paintin' in a poncho
You better get ready
Everybody's out to have a good time
Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't you try to get it right this time
Get it right this time
You get worked up, jammed and overloaded
Your time's up, before you even know it
But you can't stop, working on the outcome
You're hawking your latest sins
Put on your backpack, take a trip to nowhere
You're sidetracked, on your way to somewhere
You wind up right back where you started
You better get ready
Everybody's out to have a good time
Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't we try to get it right this time
This time
No reason to worry, even if it isn't goin' our way
Forget about tomorrow, because all we really have is today
Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't we try to get it right
Why don't we try to get it right
Why don't we try to get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Light In Your Eyes Lyrics
Something is happening
Everything's different but everything is fine yeah
This is the good stuff
Yesterday's only what you leave behind
It's only in your mind
You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes
No use pretending
You never existed until you saw the light yeah
You're just beginning
You haven't missed it-it's all ahead of you
And you know what to do
You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes
Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious
She's got it all and you say "Give it to me"
Nobody's happy
That's not the world I know inside
Where everybody hides
You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes
You gotta talk to the One who loves you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes
Yeah, thank you thank you!
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you thank you
For the light in your eyes
For the light in your eyes
Yeah, thank you thank you!
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you thank you
For the light in your eyes
Take off your halo, take off your golden crownThe spotlight's off, the shades are downWhere are your friends now, they're ghosts in a windowpaneSometimes it's hard to stay the same
And we can live lifetimes in a single dayNo matter what you do, I love you anywayYou say if you're lost inside, I get lonely tooEven in the worst of times, I give my best to you
I dreamed I was swimming, fighting the undertowDrifting in circles, no place to goAnd when I woke up, I was wringing wetSo much stronger than before
And we can live lifetimes in a single dayNo matter what you do, I love you anywayYou say if you're lost inside, I get lonely tooEven in the worst of times, I give my best to you
The words escape the silence madeThe looks betray, I'm not afraid
We can live lifetimes in a single dayNo matter what you do, I love you anywayYou say if you're lost inside; well, I get lonely tooEven in the worst of times, I give my best to you
Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win
I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido Des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
All I want to know
Is when you go
Do you think of me
Cause I could let you go
But there'd be a hole
Where my heart used to be o
It's so easy holding you near
I could melt in your arms and disappear
Loving you baby is breaking my heart tonight
It's so easy but it isn't right o I saw you today
You walked away
And I couldn't breathe
Cause I know how it will feel
It's a love so real
When you're touching me
Every night I lay here alone
After you leave me and go home
She doesn't know that we can't let go
And it's hurting me so
It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again
It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again.
I scraped the paper off the wall
I put down carpet in the hall
I left no trace of you at all
And I can sing my song again
I don't dream 'cuz I don't sleep
The moon is hanging like your hat
The sun comes up
Well I don't see
Curtains tied up like a bat
The electric man looks good today
Maybe not, well I'm trying hard
Trying hard to feel that way
The electric man's a good place to start
Took your paintings off the wall
That one of me that you called doll
I added on 'cuz the house was feeling small
Now I can sing my song again
I don't think of you no more
Except for everyday or two
I don't think of you no more
Except for in between the sun and moon
Packed up and moved out after all
Bulldozed the house and watched it fall
That blessed sight I still recall
I can sing my song again
I can sing my song again
It don't hurt like it did
It hurts worse
Every night I dream you're next to me
Tenderly
You say my name
You stay close enough to keep me here
Then disappear
When we're face to face
And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am I
Cause I want to be with you tonight
You're not the only one in need
You know everybody's watching me
And what they see
Is me watching you
In the middle, time is creeping by
And I wonder why
You're so removed
And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am I
Cause I want to be with you tonight
You're not the only one in need
Come on baby
Life is just a net into which you dive
And I'm getting
Closer to you now
If I love you
Will you run away
And if I stay
Will I disappear
And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am I
Cause I want to be with you tonight
And blue is blue
And so are we
They say love keeps on growing
It's the one thing that I've felt I've always known
Cause it wouldn't matter where you're going
Cause where you are is where I wanna go
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away
Tell me why the road keeps turning
When everything you want is straight ahead
And every thing I thought worth learning
Is forgotten when I see your face instead
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away
All you say is so overrated
Holding on to yesterday
Along the way, it can get too complicated to say
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
You better think again
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Flowers in the wind
Blowin' round the wind
You let somebody in they might fade away
I heard the song, it was all around
Everyone's quitting, everyone's breaking down
I called your house on the telephone
Nobody answered, but I know you're home
All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it flows
I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
I pushed a button just to find my way
I got directions but I'm still lost today
I see her smiling, but her eyes were dead
Nobody's crying, that's what paper said
All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it goes
I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
All in all, it's nature's poetry
Can't understand the way it flows
So I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies
This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home
I found your standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And I'm dreaming of yesterday
I'd like to see the Riviera
And slowdance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms
I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions
You can tell me the world is round and I'll prove to you it's square
You can keep your feet on the ground,
but I'll be walking on air
You're pretty good at waiting
While I go running around
Well, that's just the way it is, you know
I got a hole in my pocket
You give me love and I drop it
I guess I threw it away
We stick together with every day that passes by
But I'm just like the weather, I keep on changing my mind
Well you can hardly believe it
Every time I turn and say, well
Good morning, I'm leaving
And I'll be back in a few days
But that's just the way it is, you know o
I got a hole in my pocket
You give me love and I drop it
I guess I'll throw it away
I got a four leaf clover
I'll throw it over my shoulder
I'm gonna need it someday o
When things don't go right you lead me
Torn up and tied---you free me
When life is strange you take me
Through every change, you never break me
You got a feeling there's a wall that you can never climb
I try to be there where you are, I try to be on time
Old James Dean Monroe
Hands out flowers at the shop 'n' go
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear
And the wind blows up his coat
And this he scribbles on a perfume note
"If I'm not here, then you're not here"
And he says
"Call me miscreation, I'm a walkin' celebration"
It's hard to make a stand
(Yeah)
And it's hard to make a stand
(Ohh)
Yea it's hard to make a stand
My friend, O Lawdy
Went to take care of her own body
She got shot down in the road
She looked up before she went
Said, "This isn't really what I meant"
And the daily news said, "Two with one stone"
And I'll say
"Hey there, miscreation, bring a flower, time is wastin'"
And it's hard to make a stand
And it's hard to make a stand
It was hard to make a stand
It was hard to make a stand
Yes it is
We got loud guitars and big suspicions
Great big guns and small ambitions
And we still argue over who is God?
And I'll say
"Hey there, miscreation, bring a flower, time is wastin'"
I'll say
"Hey there, miscreation, we all need a celebration"
And it's hard to make a stand
(Hae)
And it's hard to make a stand
Oh it's hard to make a stand
(Ohh oh)
Yea it's hard to make a stand
Oh I think it's hard to make a stand
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Good is good and bad is bad
You don’t know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they’re blowing ‘round
They won’t help you when you’re down
Love’s on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything’s unfair
Would you care if you’re the last one standing there
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
I don’t hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that’s not where you want to be
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
If all your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
And you don’t know why
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
Daddy's in the hallway
Hanging pictures on the wall
Mama's in the kitchen
Making casseroles for all
My brother came home yesterday
From somewhere far away
He doesn't look like I remember
He just stares off into space
He must've seen some ugly things
He just can't seem to say
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
Got a job in town
Selling insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa
And two con men from back home
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that
Something has gone missing
And it makes me kinda sad, oh
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
Heard about the day
that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around
The smoke covered the city
And the body count arise
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation
Into a war all based on lies, oh
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Jesus Christ is born
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say go
Tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds
kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in that lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
God sent to us salvation
Born that Christmas morn
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
I said go
Tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born
I say go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Hey go
Ttell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on the mountain
Way back in the year of 2017
The sun was growing hotter
And oil was way beyond its peak
When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery
And the black gold started flowing
Just like Boston tea
It was the summer of the riots
And London sat in sweltering heat
And the gangs of Mini Coopers
Took the battle to the streets
But when the creed was handed down
For no more trucks and no more cars
They threw cans of petrol through the windows at Scotland Yard
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
When the Mounties stormed the palace of the Saudi family
They held them up for ransom
Without disturbing their high tea
But their getaway was shaky
They stalled in the Riyadh streets
Cause you can't make it very far
When your tank is on empty
The final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck
And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aquaduct
You see, all the majesty of worship that once adorned these fatal halls
Was just a target to the angry
As they blew up the Taj Mahal
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
will be free, will be free
Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
Where all the farmers got together and talked about this great country
But when the government turned its back on farming
Man, what I hear
They dragged the pumps out of the ground
With a big vintage John Deere
I've got soldiers on my payroll
Standing guard on my front drive
Snipers on the roof poised at those
Who don't want me alive
Cause they audited my taxes
My family under threat
Cause I've got a message and a megaphone
And I'll scream it to the death
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
You got the farms in Argentina
Making fuel from sugar cane
You got the bastards in Washington
Afraid of popping the greed vain
Cause the money's in the pipeline
And pipeline's running dry
And we'll be the last to recognize
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes
Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes
I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
There's something I need to show you
My head in my hands
'Cause I don't understand
When I don't even know you,
How you melted my heart in two
I wake up in the morning,
Follow you and then hide
Just to watch you walk by
Comes on me with no warning
I think about you and I get high
To assure you I even exist
Do I tell you it's you that I've missed?
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you
I can't stand all this freedom
I've been there before
And it's such a good bore
You're all I ever needed
If you'd only walk through my door
To assure you I even exist
Do I tell you it's you that I've missed?
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you
I could wait my whole life for this moment to come
With a long list of beautiful chances I've blown
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you
I watched the sun come up on Portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to LA
I gave away all my loose ends
Somebody said you gotta get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standing there
Holding the hand of my best friend
And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
I'll see you when I reach New Mexico
If I'm in the mood to crash and burn
I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
I'll take my cell phone to bed
And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottle's dry
I'm on my way to crash and burn
Antigone laid across the road
And let a mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well love might be great but why lose your head
Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
Cause I've gotten use to the crash and burn
I say I've gotten use to the crash and burn
Crash and burn
Crash Crash
Carolina
Her tears are falling like the Spanish moss
Disappearing
Into beauty found in beauty lost
So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solace in remembering
The words we never said
Faded postcards
Of all the places she loves best
Take her far away
As she presses wrinkles from her cotton dress
So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solace in remembering
The words we never said
So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight crashing to the earth
And there can be no solace in remembering
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon c'mon
You lay down with angels
To feel yourself again
You've got everything you need
Under your thick skin
I know where you're going
I know where you've been
When it comes to playin' games
You will always win o
C'mon, c'mon c'mon
Break my heart again
For old times sake
C'mon, c'mon c'mon
Break my heart again
For old times sake o
You can't see your shadow
Reaching for the sky
Lay your head down on my bed
Please don't ask me why
Why am I leaving
Why don't I know
Something deep inside me
Is forcing me to go
You say you need me
But you can't tell me no
When I ask you to stop me baby
You just let me go
You took the best of me
And threw it away
Too bad the rest of me
Still wants you to stay
Want you to stay
You say you need me
But you can't tell me no
When I ask you to stop me baby
You just let me go
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory ever green
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse
The chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean
So don't let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
We could build a house
We could build a wall
We could move a mountain
And we could watch it fall
Wouldn't it be different
If everyone could see
That everything is sacred
And everyone is free
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream
And everyone is happy
Dancing in the streets
Laughing with each other
In total harmony
And no one's going hungry
When every cry is heard
We will know the meaning
Of heaven here on earth
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Just a little love
Just a little peace
Every boy and girl
And every family
See the future coming
Leave the past behind
Cus' what you give away
Comes back in its own sweet time
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
I light your cigarettes
I bring you apples from the vine
How quickly you forget
I run the bath and pour the wine
I bring you everything that floats into your mind
But you don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
When you come 'round
You are a raging sea
I pull myself out everyday
I plea insanity
Cause I can't leave but I can't stay
You say, won't you come find me and yes is what I say
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything is crashing to the ground
Maybe I'm not your perfect kind
Maybe I'm not what you had in mind
Maybe we're just killing time
You with your silky words
And your eyes of green and blue
You with your steel beliefs
That don't match anything you do
It was so much easier before you became you
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
Everything just crashes to the ground
When you come around
When you come around
No more playing seek and hide
No more long and wasted nights
Can't you make it easy on yourself
I know you wish you were strong
You wish you were never wrong
My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Well, everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leaving only traces of the man you thought you'd be
Leaving me with no place left to go from here
Leaving you so many questions all these years
Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
Well, they say that love is in the air but never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
But is this how it's really meant to be
No, is it how it's really meant to be
If they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
Can't you see I'm holding your flag
The one that you left on the ground
Well is the world too heavy for you
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
No one's gonna stand in your light
Impressions are easy to fight
But until you turn to me and say
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay o
Abilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
Isn't it good to be free o
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
The one with the heart on the sleeve
Everyone can see you've been hurt
But honey don't give up on me
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna get out of bed
Well everyday you're gonna find
Broken promises are no worse than words never said
Then you want someone to come along and save the day
Ten years living in a paper bag
Feedback baby, he's a flipped out cat
He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer
Mercedes rule, and a rented lear
Bottom feeder insincere
Prophet lo-fi pioneer
Sell the house and go to school
Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
God's little gift is on the rag
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde
Wear your fake fur on the inside
Queen of south beach, aging blues
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Chasing dragons with plastic swords
Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor
And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board
I've been thinking 'bout catching a train
Leave my phone machine by the radar range
Hello it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Hello, it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good
(Scent of an angel)
Keeps me driving all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)
I keep your picture on my dash just to get me through
(Scent of an angel)
Reminds me of those crazy nights down in Mexico
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, temptation got a way of turning the lights down low
You're cool in your faded blue jeans
Just a fool in a tequila soaked dream
But you ain't no saint
You know I ain't no beauty queen
I was stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from Memphis
A song playing in my head
Send me an angel
Move on up ahead
(Scent of an angel)
Sending a message
Cause I feel a little cold and blue
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, expensive habit sure took one hold of you
Crawling in on a Sunday
And leaving town on Monday
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting on the other side of the line
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
A vision of you by my side
So let's head on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from here
(Rolling, rolling)
(Somewhere back in town)
I'm stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Get around, shake this town
Drive a while, go in style
A hundred miles from here
Here comes the morning
And here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
