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
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
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'
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'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
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...
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
When it come to loving me he's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And 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
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause 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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
I saw you yesterday with an old friend
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
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...
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I need a love baby wont you make me happy
Baby wont you make me happy
Well I was never much of a school boy
Never wanna give me no chain
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day
I need a love to make me happy
I need a love, baby to make me happy
Baby wont you make me happy
Baby wont you make me happy
I need a love to make me happy
I need a love. baby wont you make me happy

I need a love to make me happy
i need a love baby wont you make me happy
yeah yeah yeah..baby wont you make me

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
