YouYou want
You want me
You want me to give you a chance
Now mama let me see
See what
See what you
See what you could offer to me
Now mama let me see
(Good)
Look at you, you think that you're so good
(Weren't that good)
If there was anything to like I would
(Yes I would)
I won't pretend to understand it but I thought you
would
Tell me why you rattle my chain
Why do you rub me the wrong way?
Everything you say just drives me insane
You don't answer to nothing
You push all my buttons
You try to be nice
I take convince
I know it don't make any sense
But I don't need your advice
You say it's all in my head
I said don't try to explain,
You know you rattle my chain
You're gonna do it again
You want
You want me
You want me to give you a chance
Now mama let me see
See what
See what you
See what you could offer to me
Now mama let me see
(Good)
Everybody thinks that you're so good
(Weren't that good)
I don't get along with anything you do
(You're so good)
It's so hard for me to be polite to you
(Oooh)
And the only thing I wanna say is:
Why do you rattle my chain?
Why do you rub me the wrong way?
Everything you say just drives me insane
You don't answer to nothing
You push all my buttons
You try to be nice
I take convince
I know it don't make any sense
But I don't need your advice
You say it's all in my head
I said don't try to explain,
You know you rattle my chain
Three cool cats
Three cool cats
Coming up the street in a beat up car
They're splitting up the left, the candy bar
And talking all about how shot they are
Those three cool cats
Three cool chicks
Coming up the street they're swinging their hips
Splitting up a bag of potato chips
I think cool cats did three big flips for
Three cool chicks
Three cool chicks
Well up came that first cool cat
He said, "My look at that!
Man do you see what I see?"
"I want that middle chick"
"I want that little chick"
"Hey man, save one chick for me!"
Three cool chicks
Three cool chicks
Well they look like angels from up above
And three cool cats really fell in love
And three cool chicks, they made three fools of
Those three cool cats
Three cool cats
Well up came that first cool cat
He said, "My look at that!
Man do you see what I see?"
"I want that middle chick"
"I want that little chick"
"Hey man, save one chick for me, oh please!"
Three cool chicks
Three cool chicks
Well they look like angels from up above
And three cool cats really fell in love
And three cool chicks, they made three fools of
Those three cool cats
Three cool cats
Three cool cats
Three...
Cool...
'Love me' were the two words that she used
And I'm telling you I'm confused
Oh dear, I don't know what to say
'Love me', and we all know what come next
'Cause I know what she'll expect
Oh dear, I gotta say I love her too
"Need me"
I do baby
"Hold me"
I will baby
"Love me"
I wanna baby, but you know I'm scared
Of what lies ahead
"Oh love me"
I think it's much too soon
'Cause it feels so much to do
Oh dear, I need more time
There are so many words she could have used
(Could have used)
So why was it love that she had to choose?
'Love me' were the two words that she used
And I'm telling you I'm confused
Oh dear, I don't know what to say
'Love me', and we all know what come next
'Cause I know what she'll expect
Oh dear, I gotta say I love her too
"Need me"
I do baby
"Hold me"
I will baby
"Love me"
I wanna baby, but you know I'm scared
Of what lies ahead
"Oh love me"
I think it's much too soon
'Cause it feels so much to do
Oh dear, I need more time
(Alright!?)
I know we can't mend it
I know
That if we pretended, isn't there it's still sure
Well time's not alotted in equal amounts to me and you
So we (?) each other
There's something we can do
We can weep together
Feel our need together
But if we try to heal each other
We both know that it won't work
But if we weep together
We might feel better
Well people tell you, you should move on
But how can you live again until your pain is gone?
Too many times you've hurt
But time will heal the wounds
No one's prepared to say just how soon
While we're here together
Can shed some tears together
But if we cried beside each other
I don't mean that we won't hurt
But if we weep together
Run me round the latest record
By the newest thing
So convinced, you are so cocksure
It's the coolest thing
Now I can't get it outta my brain
And the same old lines
Come back time and time
Time again
Took me out to see a movie
It's the latest one
Didn't think that it could prove to me my favourite one
But I guess I must admit
That the things I like
Are the things you like
I've been bit
(Been bitten)
Bitten by the same bug
Bitten
(Been bitten)
Bitten by the same bug
Bitten

Bitten by the same bug

Never used to go out dancing
'Til you took me out
Now if you don't catch me dancing
It's a lucky night
'Cause I do it every day
And I can't hold off
When (?)
I've been bit
(Been bitten)
Bitten by the same bug

I think we're heading in the same direction
when you go bit insane.
I try to reason it’s too easy to give up on it,
but I don’t wanna play this blame game again.
We cover over all the things that bring us closer
and before you know it it's goodbye.
So now you’ve said your piece,
and I try to find a way to organize my mind,
stay on course, straight and true.
And you - you think we’re heading in the right direction
but I don’t know if I do too.
Cos I try to send a message
but you don’t wanna hear it,
you're so obsessed with all the things they said and how they see us.
I try to draw the anchor but you just cast another down...
Don’t wanna go down with this ship.
Don’t wanna go down (with this ship)
No I don’t wanna go down (with this ship)
I don’t wanna go down (with this ship)
No I don’t wanna go down (with this ship)
Cos I try to send a message but you don’t wanna hear it,
you're so obsessed with all the things they said and how they see us.
I try to draw the anchor but you just cast another
and I don’t wanna go down with this ship.
I fly this flag forever but you don’t wanna see it -
the way it was it’s how it is for you and you can’t leave it.
We're only treading water, but slowly sinking deeper,
and I don't wanna go down with this ship.
I don't wanna go down with this ship.
One night without booze and I wake up with a head cold
One night without you and I wake drenched in sweat
It's like someone took away this little boy's icecream
And I'm so much colder when I'm without it
I can't see the connection but I know there's one there
So I'm asking you honey: do you really care about me?
When you're around it's like life really matters
When once I was restless now I'm content
There's no meat on the bone but this dog isn't hungry
And what does it mean when I won't jump the fence
I know there's a reason for why I must be
So I'm asking you honey do you really care about me?
What do you see in me?
It all feels to easy, it all seems so strange
I've already forgotten how I used to
for someone like you I've been down on my knees
I'd like to think we could go on forever
yeah the thought of you leaving me hurts my head
but science had answered the laws of attraction
and science can't say what happens when we're dead
there's so much they don't know, so much they can't see
they're so full of questions ...
well there's only one question that matters to me
I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
Your eyes upon me everywhere
I'd tell my friends but they're all losing temper
They keep on telling me I should know better
Sometimes I wonder if my mother sent you
She said she'd always be right there
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Another morning and I'm sure I saw you
Behind the bushes with a photo camera
My doctors tell me that it's paranoia
But I can't shake this feeling that you're there
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Now I go to sleeping now with one eye open
One of these days I'm gonna catch you lurking
Behind the curtains with evil intentions
But I can't get away from my own mind
I'm being shadowed by a shady stranger
(Feels like)
Someone's always lookin' over my shoulder
(So scared)
I'm frightened just to walk around the corner
(Last night)
Your eyes upon me everywhere
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lookin' over my shoulder
Lover, you just hold on (Just hold on)
I'm coming, now just hold on (Just hold on)
Lover, you just hold on to me.
We're going nowhere fast -
but I'm just glad I'm going there with you.
Never going back,
but I'm already starting to miss you.
If it all falls by the way,
don't you call,
don't call this my mistake, no...
Lover, you just hold on (Just hold on)
I'm coming, now just hold on (Just hold on)
Lover, you just hold on to me.
I could tell you all the things I'm missing,
all the things that I'm holding onto.
But I can't get over you,
no I can't get over you tonight.
We're going nowhere fast -
but I'm just glad I'm going there with you.
Never going back,
but I'm already starting to miss you.
We can talk if you wait,
just don't say...
Lover, you just hold on (Just hold on)
I'm coming, now just hold on (Just hold on)
Lover, you just hold on (Just hold on)
I'm coming, now just hold on (Just hold on)
Lover, you just hold on (Just hold on)
Baby, I'm coming, now just hold on (Just hold on)

Woah baby will travel,
I said if you need loving then
Mm,hmm,i’ll travel.
Yeah,i’ll travel from main to mexico
Just to find a little girl that loves me so
No matter when, no matter where i’ll be
I’m looking for a woman that’ll satisfy me.
Wow,have love
Whoa baby will travel,
Uh huh, uh huh,have love
Woah baby will travel,

Oh baby will travel
Uh huh,have love
Oh pretty baby will travel.
I said if you need loving then
All the waiters in your grand café
Leave their tables when you blink, oh
Every dog must have his every day
Every drunk must have his drink
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why
All your life you've had to stand in line
Still you're standing on your feet, oh
All your choices make you change your mind
Now your calendar's complete
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why
Mmm, you can say the human heart is only make believe
I am only fighting fire with fire
You are still the victim of the accidents you leave
Sure as I'm a victim of desire
All the servants in your new hotel
Throw their roses at your feet, oh
Fool them all but baby I can tell
You're no stranger to the street
Don't ask for favors
Don't talk to strangers
Don't ask me why
Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away, oh
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you parlez-vous français
Don't look for answers
You took your chances
Don't ask me why
You and I
Were once in love
And not the kind you stumble on
The circumstance would have its way
Separation with the day
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Yeah, you said that you had changed
And that things could never be the same
The chance we had is too far gone
And now you're happy on your own
I must say that yes, I agree
That I could see things work out differently
(Memory lane, memory lane)
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Memory lane, memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
I can't say that it would work
With life they say that trying never hurts
'Cause life's too short to say you can't
And love deserves a second chance
I know that you probably don't agree
But please look at the possibilities
(Of memory lane, memory lane)
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Memory lane, memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
Baby, don't you dare take my little baby far away from me, no
Hey you, if you do, don't think you'll be getting very
far, you see, no no no
She's the only girl I ever had
And if you take her it'll make me feel sad
So...
Hey there, don't you dare take my little baby far away from me, no
Hey you, if you do, don't think you'll be getting very far, you see
That I don't wanna be alone
I want her to come home
Come on home to me
She's the only girl I ever had
And if you take her it'll make me feel sad
So...
Hey there, don't you dare take my little baby far away from me, no
Hey you, if you do, don't think you'll be getting very far, you see
That I don't wanna be alone
I want her to come home
Come on home to me
I don't know if I will ever hear from you again
I guess I feel you're not content, not willing to be friends
Oh yes now girl
Oh yes now girl
It makes me feel so stupid when I think of where things went
I guess all that potential must have gone straight to our heads
And when it gets in there with all the thinking that goes on
It really is no big surprise how things just go so wrong
Oh yes now girl
Oh yes now girl
Come on now girl
Should silence be the way this story ends?
I say "Love, love, won't you speak to me?"
Don't you let it fall apart this way
'Cause there is much much too much
Between us babe
How could there be nothing more to say
And I must admit while writing this Jeff Buckley had it right
Avoid the pain of trying to forget her every night
'Cause sometimes songs are therapy
And sometimes they're just pain
You wanna hide them deep in the bottom of your heart
And never hear from them again
Oh yes now girl
Oh yes now girl
Oooh
Come on now girl
There is a place in my headWhere I go and no one knows
What I do, when I'm there
And I think that they don't care
If I go, if I stay
Makes no difference anyway
'Cause when all's said and done
They just wanna have some fun
So I say sound off!
(One, two)
These boys are gonna come for you
Sound off!
(Three, four)
More, more, more
Yes I say sound off!
(Five, six)
Oh, they gonna get your kicks
Sound off!
(Seven, eight)
And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
There is a place in your head
Where you go and no one knows
What you do, when you're there
And you think that they don't care
If you go, if you stay
Makes no difference anyway
'Cause there's you, and then there's them
But you built up your defence
So I say sound off!
(One, two)
These boys are gonna come for you
Sound off!
(Three, four)
More, more, more
Yes I say sound off!
(Five, six)
Oh, they gonna get your kicks
Sound off!
(Seven, eight)
And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
There is a place so I'm told
Where you go and no one knows
What you do, when you're there
They pretend that they don't care
If you go, if you stay
Well it still matters when you're gone
'Cause when all's said and done
There is more to life than fun
So I say sound off!
(One, two)
These boys are gonna come for you
Sound off!
(Three, four)
More, more, more
Yes I say sound off!
(Five, six)
(?) get your kicks
Sound off!
(Seven, eight)
Why are you so posessive of me.You see things that no-
one else can,
or will ever see.
Her words were said so visciously.
I cannot explain how I feel,
With me now.
She told me I was useless.
(she told me, she told me)
She told me everything was wrong.
(she told me, she told me)
But I could change for you my love,
Strip me down to the bone,
I don't wanna do this,
I don't wanna do it alone.
Elephants stamp all over my ego.
I've just realised,
All my knowledge is nothing to know.
But I can't share any if I'm on my own.
You used to say I listened,
But now you wanna go.
She told me I was useless.
(she told me, she told me)
She told me everything was wrong.
(she told me, she told me)
But I could change for you my love,
Strip me down to the bone,
I don't wanna do this,
I don't wanna do it alone.
I'm gonna change my name and my face now.
(face now)
I wanna move away from the crowds.
Oh everybody knows,
They can see my heart right through these clothes.
I don't wanna do this,
I don't wanna do it alone.
(everybody knows, everybody shows.
everybody knows, everybody shows.
everybody knows, everybody shows.
everybody knows, everybody shows.)
She told me I was useless.
(everybody shows)
She told me everything was wrong.
(everybody shows)
Oh, but I could change for you my love,
Strip me down to the bone,
I don't wanna do this,
I don't wanna do it alone.
There's this girl whoWe all know, but
I can tell that you love her
Like no one before
I want to tell you
There will be problems
And chances are you'll meet the same fight
As the boys before
She's the kind of girl
That makes you think
You got a chance in hell
But you ain't got none
She'll make plans
And just as soon forget them
She'll plead drunkenness
It's always such a fine defence
And as for sorry
You can forget it
She won't understand
Why you felt like such a fool
She's the kind of girl
That makes you think
You got a chance in hell
But you ain't got none
And hell's the only place
That you'll be living
When she tells you
She don't want none
So you think too much
And you drink too much
And you start to think you need a woman's touch
So you get worked up
And you call her up
But the words don't come
Cat got your tongue!
I know you wouldn't mind
If she just said, 'You're not my kind'
But she will just lead you on
Because she's having too much fun
She's the kind of girl
That makes you think
You got a chance in hell
But you ain't got none
And hell's the only place
That you'll be living
When she tells you
She don't want none
That girl
Oooh
That girl
Oooh
That girl
Oooh
That girl
That girl
That girl
Pictures of places
Memories of faces
Lost on me
I see you running
and I wonder how long 'til you
Find your feet
I think you know
What I'm thinkin'
I know you feel it too
All the pressure
In the moment
When you have to choose
Oh, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure
Everyone changes
Workin' our way through these fallen leaves
While the branches are breaking
Can't help mistaking if I rest for the trees
I know there's no one
Bad decision
This just can't go on
Stumblin' blind
Oh, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure
So you keep treading the same ground
Forgetting that you found
The faith you need
You say your future's in limbo
With your head
In the clouds
Don't look down
I am holding you up
With my feet
On the ground
We can make sense of the pictures, places,
memories, faces that we lost on the way
Well, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Well, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure
You think it's so hard for you
You moan about the things you do
We'll it's gonna get a little bit harder
'Cause this train can't go no farther
Since the day you came on the scene
I've been treating you like my queen
Spending my money just to make you smile
I give an inch but you take a mile
Well baby I been thinking
And I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna get you what you want
I'm here to tell you that it's not ok
I'm not your meal ticket sucka just to pay your way
You never really cared for friends
Little more than a means to the end
You won't be happy 'till they call you famous
Your attitude is entirely shameless
Now I realise my mistake
You never give you just take take take
Whether money or imagination
We're all figures in your calculation
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna get you what you want
I'm here to tell you that you're on your own
I'm not your lapdog, woman and I'm telling you
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
Think you struggle like the rest of us
You really think that you do it tough
Well you should try a bit of nine to five
Where the measure of your life
Is a pay check
Just enough to pay the rent
We're all thinking in dollars and cents
But when you get it on a silver plate
I know you can't appreciate
That I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna take you to the top
I'm here to tell you that you're on your own
I'm not your cash cow, woman and I'm telling you
Don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna open every door
You better listen to me when I say
You're a gold digger honey and it stops today
Saviour anymore
Don't wanna be your saviour anymore
Ain't gonna be your saviour anymore
I don't wanna see you no more
Sister, I ain't your penny packin' daddy
Lover, can you hear me sayin'
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
Don't be a saviour anymore
Ain't gonna be your saviour anymore
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Once every christmas I take some time
time on my own where I can gather my thoughts and try
to think of people I once knew
this year I'll light a candle just for you.
I never thought life could hurt so bad
The moment you said goodbye oh how I wish I could've had
more time to share my world with you
Hope you are missing me, too
This year I'll light a candle just for you
The light - brings you back to me tonight
Memories of you and I
live within my mind
not so hard to find
all the love you left behind
There are some things I would like you to know
Things I have done and things I've learned that have made me grow
and dreams I hope someday'll come true
this year I'll light candle just for you
I'm lighting a light in my heart
thinking of you and the things that we used to do
'cause the light - brings you back to me tonight...
Once every christmas I say goodbye
I tug you in, and let the memories fly and I'll
see you again and when I do
then I will light a candle just for you
1. Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
2. Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born;
Christ the Savior is born.
3. Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;
