Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool
You go ahead, as good as dead
Okay...I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it! I quit! I don't give a shit!
You go ahead, as good as dead
Coming to a head
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette. Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic. What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.
That's one more time around. The sun is going down. The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting. Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.
Counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny. Locked in a giant house that's alarming. The townsfolk they all laugh.
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent. Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get. And it's fitting. He's barely living a day he'll soon forget.
Once in awhile will you try
To give one little thought to me?
Though someone else
May be nearer to your heart
Will you dream of the moments
I shared with you?
Before we drifted apart
Once in a while
In love's smoldering embers
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
Oh, I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Oh, knowing you think of me
Once in a while
In love's smoldering embers
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
Oh, I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Don't let anyone say that it's just a game
For I've seen other teams and it's never the same
When you're born in Chicago you are blessed and you're healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heros wear pinstripes and heros in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heros too
Whether we'll win and if we should lose,
We know someday we'll go all the way,
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way!
We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we're in love
Hold our head high as the the underdogs
We are not fairweather but farweather fans
Like brothers in arms, in the streets and the stands
Theres magic in the ivy and the old score board
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed I could never want more
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the
Someday we'll go all the way
Heres to the men and the legends we've known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we'll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all
Yeah Ernie Banks said "Well lets play two"
Or did he mean two hundred years
In the same ball park, our dimond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
The place where our Grandfathers' fathers grew
The spiritual feeling if i ever knew
If you aint been, I am sorry for you
And when the day comes for that last winning run
And I'm crying covered in beer
I look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we'll go all the way
Yeah someday we'll go all the way
Some day we'll go all the way
Yeah, someday we'll go all the way
Oh pirates, yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my aim was made strong
By the hands of the almighty
We fought in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
Redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall we kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
It's all I ever had
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long must we kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
They've got to fulfill the book
I wanna say
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
All I ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
These songs of freedom
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
I have not been home
Since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Counting steps walking backwards on the road
Counting my way back to heaven
I can't be free
With what's locked inside of me
There's no wrong or right
But I'm sure there's good and bad
Questions linger overhead
No matter how cold the winter
There's a spring time ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you
I wish that I had
Thinking about heaven
I let go of the rope
Thinking that's what held me back
And in time I realize it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past
I turn my back
Now there's no turning back
All the rusted signs we ignore througout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
No matter how cold the winter
There's a spring time ahead
I smile but who am I kidding
I'm just walking the miles
Every once and a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Is there room enough for both of us?
Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation?
is that all we got?
(I)Get the words and then I get to thinking
I don't want to think I wanna feel
How do I feel?
How do I?
Chorus:
If you're the only one
Will I ever be enough?
Hail hail the lucky ones
I refer to those in love
Swore I'd love till the day I die
And beyond
Are we going to the same place?
If so, can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy
The past we carry
I could be new
You underestimate me
Chorus
I sometimes realize
I could only be as good
As you let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand
Chorus II:
If you're the only one
Will I ever be enough?
Hail hail the lucky ones
I refer to those in love
That you're the only one
So good you, only one
I want to be your one
Your one
I will come to you in the day time
I will graze into your bed
I will kiss you in four places
As I go swimming around in your hair
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
And you may never forget it as I make you call my name
As I shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So she'd your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
And you will throw your arms around me
I will come to you at night time
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 155 places
As I go swimming around in your hair
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue summer
And we may never meet again
So she'd your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
And you will throw your arms around me
Ohh...
Is this just another day? This god forgotten place.
First comes love and then comes pain. Let the games begin.
Questions rise and answers fall insurmountable.
Love boat captain take the reigns and steer us towards the clear. Here.
It's already been sung but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love.
Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves.
Trying to shake the cancer off. Stupid human beings.
Once you hold the hand of love it's all surmountable.
Hold me and make it the truth.
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing.
And there's just one word I still believe.
And it's love.
It's an art to live with pain. Mix the light into grey.
Lost nine friends we'll never know. Two years ago today.
And if our lives became too long would it add to our regret?
And the young they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today.
The wisdom that the old can't give away.
Hey, constant recoil. Sometimes life don't leave you alone.
Hold me and make it the truth.
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing.
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's love.
Love. love. love. love.
Love boat captain take the reigns. Steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung. Can't be said enough.
Love is all you need. All you need is love.
I will come to you in the day time
I will graze into your bed
I will kiss you in four places
as I go swimming around in your hair
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
and you may never forget it as I make you call my name
as I shout it to the blue summer sky
and we may never meet again
so shed your skin lets get started
and you will throw your arms around me
and you will throw your arms around me
I will come to you at night time
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 155 places
as I go swimming around in your hair
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh and make you cry
and we may never forget it
as I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue summer
and we may never meet again
so shed your skin lets get started
and you will throw your arms around me
and you will throw your arms around me
ohh...
Here's to the judges of John Roberts,
Who wear the robe of honor in a phony legal form,
And justices are stranger when the partisans report,
When the court elected a president it was the beginning of this war,
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
John Roberts find yourself another country to be part of
Here's to the government of Dick Cheney,
With criminals posing as advisers to the crown,
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds,
Cause the speeches of our president are the remains of a clown
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Dick Cheney find yourself another country to be part of
Here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell,
Oh the cross once made of silver now is turned to rust,
And the Sunday morning services preach in fear of men in love,
And God only knows in heaven they must trust
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Jerry Falwell find yourself another country to be part of
Here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez,
Congress will pass an act in the panic of the day,
And the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay,
And freedom of speech is dangerous I've even heard them say,
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Gonzalez find yourself another country to be part of
Here's to the businessmen of George W,
Who'll want to change the focus from Halliburton to Enron
And their profits like blood money spilled out on the white house lawn,
To keep their hold on power they're using terror as a con,
While the bombs they fall on children don't know which side... don't care which side that they're on
Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
George W find yourself another country to be part of
Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
All I wanna do is really make it
All I wanna do is to make it work with you
All I want to do is get right through to you
What would you say?
What would you do?
Will you please, let me into
All of my hopes
All of my dreams
Would you staunch my bloodstreams?
Goodbye my tainted little princess
Can't get away from you
Goodbye my dark and lonely evenings
Can't get enough of you
All I want to do is really do it
All I want to do is stop the time with you
All I want to do is do you one last time
What would you say?
What would you do?
Will you please, let me into
All that I use
All I abuse
Why can I never refuse?
And I knew it was wrong
To engage in your crime
But I cannot live without
You turn black into white
And make everything eel...
Come on come
Every year is the same
And i feel it again,
I'm a loser... no chance to win
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
I got a gibson
Without a case
But i can't get that even tanned look on my face
I'll fitting clothes
And i blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
I'm the one
She came from a happy home, a very happy home
A very happy home
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all worked out
But things aren't what they seem
Is this real or just a dream
And things will never ever be the same again
She came from a happy home, a very happy home
A home of happiness
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all in place
But things aren't what they seem...
The dangers
Its the dangers of love
The dangers
Its the dangers of love
She came from a happy home, a very happy home
A very happy scene
She caught him with another it turns out it was her mother
What a tragedy
Can things be what they seem
Is this just some crazy dream
Things may never ever be the same again
The dangers...
Keep telling li.ie.es, but you did
You know you did, its coming, its coming, its coming
The dangers...
What went wrong she couldn't tell
But we know it all too well
The dangers...
The dangers...
it's no shame that
love's a game that
i can only play with you
what i'm saying
is i've been saving
my love for you
i've seen the light, i'm
satisfied that
the brightest star is you
satellite, i'm
holding tight
beaming back to you
days turn into
nights turn into
days turn into today
don't think i'm out playing
cause i'm inside waiting
for you
i've felt the light, i'm
satisfied that
the highest star is you
satellite, i'm
holding tight
beaming back to you
don't you worry
i believe your story
you were put away
for something you didn't do
what i'm saying
is i'm saving
I'm falling harder than i've
ever fell before
I'm fallin faster, hoping
I'll land in your arms
cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong
to you
I dream of circles perfect
eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that
only you replace
and though the moon is rising
can't put your picture down
love, it's a frightning way to fall
And when the time is right, i
hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired
and the ocean becomes calm
I may be dreaming but i'm
longing to belong
I saw the light today
I saw the light today
I saw the light today
I saw the light today
silence loud and wind so long
the quiet building in the dark
surrender to the game
I saw the light today
the silent scream that we're apart
I dare to dream, for there you are
I bleed, but I won't break
I saw the light today
I saw the light today
I saw the light today
today
today
today
Come sail your ships around me And burn your bridges down We make a little history,baby Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me And let your hair hang down You are a little mystery to me Every time you come around
We talked about it all night long We define our moral ground But when I crawl into your arms Everything comes tumbling down
All the thoughts, you never see, you're always thinkin' Brain is wire, brain is deep, oh are you sinkin'?
Feel the path of every day, which road you takin'? Breathin' hard, & makin' hay, yea this is livin'
Look for love & evidence, that you're worth keepin' Swallowed whole in negatives, it's so sad & sickenin'
Feel the air up above, a pool of blue sky Fill the air up with love, black with starlight
Feel the sky blanket you, with gems & rhinestones See the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on... For you to walk on
Chorus 1: Nothing left, nothing left Nothing there, nothing left (x3)
Verse 2: See the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on see the waves on distant shores, awaiting your arrival
Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no ones rival Dream the dreams of others then, you will be no ones rival... You will be no ones rival
I used to be on an endless run.
Believe in miracles 'cause I'm one.
I've been blessed with the power to survive.
After all these years I'm still alive.
I'm out here cookin' with the band.
I'm no longer a solitary man.
Every day my time runs out.
Lived like a fool, that's what I was about, oh.
I believe in miracles.
I believe in a better world for me and you.
Oh, I believe im miracles.
I believe in a better world for me and you.
Tattoo your name on my arm.
I always said my girl's my good luck charm.
If she could find a reason to forgive,
Then I could find a reason to live.
I used to be on an endless run.
Believe in miracles 'cause I'm one.
I've have been blessed with the power to survive.
After all these years I'm still alive.
I believe im miracles.
I believe in a better world for me and you.
Oh, I believe im miracles.
I believe in a better world for me and you.
I close my eyes and think how it might be.
The future's here today.
It's not too late.
It's not too late, yeah!
I believe im miracles.
I believe in a better world for me and you.
Oh, I believe im miracles.
Blackbird singing in the dead of the night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of the night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of the night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Homeless (just Wanted You To Know)
Look me in the eye just this one time mister I won't be brushed away I have to hurt you don't you know My back is broken and my hands are blistered I've worked a bloody life time tell me what have I to show oh ho I just wanted you to know 2x
Don't go passin' by just this one time mister The tragedy is killin' me and you...you say you gotta go oh ho I just wanted you to know yeah 2x
Fuck off
Start to understand just this one time I mean it I won't be here tomorrow there's only one place left to go You think the homeless think they must be crazy Well listen to my last words as I say it ain't so oh ho oh ho I just wanted you to know 2x
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road, straight ahead A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up the rain was pourin' down There were people standing all around Something warm runnin' through my eyes But somehow I found my baby that night I lifted her head, she looked at me and said, Hold me darling, just a little while I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone & even though I hold her tight I lost my love, my life, that night.
Take a little dope And walk out in the air The stars are all connected to the brain. Find me a woman and lay down on the ground, Her pleasure comes falling down like rain, Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly, Oh now I'm really in control, It all looks fine to the naked eye, But it don't really happen that way at all, Don't happen that way at all.
You sign your own name and I sign mine, They're both the same but we still get separate rooms, You can cover up your guts but when you cover up your nuts, You're admitting that there must be something wrong, Press any button and milk and honey flows, The world begins behind your neighbor's wall, It all looks fine to the naked eye, But it don't really happen that way at all, Nah nah no, don't happen that way at all.
Well I won't back down Weel, I won't back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down No I wont back down
you can stand my ground, won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from pussing me down gonna stand my ground ... and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out (and I won't back down...) hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life in a world that keeps on pushin me around but I'll stand my ground ...and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down...
No more upset mornings No more tired evenings This American dream I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank Feels like money in the bank Gonna blow it all this time Take me one last ride
For the lights of this city They only look good when I'm speeding Gonna leave em all behind me Cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone This time I'm letting go of it all So long Cause this time I'm gone
In the far off distance As my tail-lights fade No one thinks to witness But they will someday
Feel like a question is forming and the answers far I will be what i could be Once I get out of this town
For the lights of this city They have lost all feeling Gonna leave em all behind me Cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone This time I'm letting go of it all So long Long gone, I'm letting go of it all Cause this time I'm gone
If nothing is everything If nothing is everything, I'll have it all If nothing is everything If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If you're traveling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there She once was the true love of mine.
If you go when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see if she's a coat so warm To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Please see if her hair hangs long If it rolls and flows all down her breast Please see from me if her hair hangs long That's the way I remember her best.
I'm a-wonderin' if she remember me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day.
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 right 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
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
Large fingers pushin' paint You're God and you got big hands The colors blend The challenges you give man
Seek my part Devote myself, my small self Like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Im sick and tired of hearing things From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth Ive had enough of reading things By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of hope Money for dope Money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of soap Money for dope Money for rope
Im sick to death of seeing things From tight-lipped, condescending, mamas little chauvinists All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth now
Ive had enough of watching scenes Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas All I want is the truth now Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocketful of soap Its money for dope Money for rope
Ah, Im sick and tired of hearing things From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites All I want is the truth now Just gimme some truth now
Ive had enough of reading things By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth now Just gimme some truth now
There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door, Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
Every photograph is peeling the colors turn to gray, this day there is always memories for days, these days an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd pass and there is no god with the plan, it's sad and his holiness is proof, it's said he could only know how you have sinned
the world swings through a passing fable a fate we made a way, we say holding on, live within our own ways he lit a match, he laid in bed hoping their dreams will bring her back, it's sad and his holiness is proof, they said he could only love you, it's said
oh in his last breath, believing he'll make his way if she's not forgotten he's haunted he's searching for escape
And the rivers shall open for the righteous... And the rivers shall open for the righteous... And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
I was walking with my brother,
And he wondered, oh how I am. Said what I believe in my soul Ain't what I see with my eyes, And there's no turning back this time.
I am a patriot, and I love my country, Because my country is all I know. Wanna be with my family, People who understand me. I got no place else to go.
I was walking with my girlfriend. She looked so fine, I said "Baby, what's on your mind?" Said I want to run like the lions Released from their cages... Released from the rages Burning in my soul tonight.
I am a patriot, and I love my country, Because my country is all I know.
And I ain't no communist, And I ain't no socialist, And I ain't no capitalist, And I ain't no imperialist, And I ain't no democrat, Sure ain't no republican either, I only know one party, And that is freedom. I am...I am...I am...
I am a patriot, and I love my country, Because my country is all I know.
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free. Heaven above and the sea below, And a little whale on the go.
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
Chorus:
You can do what you want
The opportunitys on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see ah ah ah
It's easy ah ah ah
You only need to know
Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are
Chorus
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's
Got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a
Better man...
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a
Better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to
Know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a
Better man...
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a
Better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a
Better man...
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a
Better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah... she don't want to leave this way
She needs him, yeah... that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better... man...
Ohh... ohh...
Uh huh...
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah
And they called and I said that I want what I said
Then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
I see them round the front way yeah
Make me cry
I see ooh I don't know why there's something else
I wanna go my own a-way
I said I don't I don't know whether I was the boxer or
The bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know and I know I don't wanna stay at all
I don't wanna stay yeah
I don't wanna stay-ee
I don't wanna stay
I don't, don't wanna oh
Yeah
Ooh oh oh oh oh
You are the hole in my head
I am the pain in your neck
You are the lump in my throat
I am the aching in your heart
We are tangled
We are stolen
We are living where things are hidden
You are something in my eye
And I am
The shiver down your spine
You are
On the lick of my lips
And I am
On the tip of your tongue
We are tangled
We are stolen
We are buried up to our necks in sand
We are luck
We are fate
We are the feeling you get in the golden state
We are love
We are hate
We are the feeling I get when you walk away?
Walk away
Well you are the dream in my nightmare
I am that falling sensation
You are
not needles and pills
I am
Your hangover morning
We are tangled
We are stolen
We are living where things are hidden
We are luck
We are fate
We are the feeling you get in the golden state
We are love
We are hate
We are the feeling I get when you walk away
Walk away
Walk away
You are
The hole in my head
You are
The pain in your neck
You are
The lump in my throat
I am
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes, seem to whisper 'I love you'
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
'Cause I'm alone, as blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on
Oh, craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this, oh
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning Get up early just to watch the sun rise Other people like it more when there's fire in the sky Worship the sun when it's high Some people go for those sultry evenings cocktails in the blue, red and grey But I like every minute of the day
I like every second, so long as you are on my mind Each Precious moment has its special charm It's all right when you're around, rain or shine Some people seems to only live after midnight Their faces always seem so pale And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight They say a suntan never fails I was a man who works the night shift I was lookin to get a job and some pay Now I like every minute of the day
I dig every second I can laugh in the snow and rain I get a buzz from being cold and wet The pleasure seems to balance out the pain
And so you see that I'm completely crazy I even shun the south of France The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy But when they sleep, I sing and dance Some people goes for the sultry evenings Cocktails in the blue, red and grey But I like every minute of the day
I seem to recognize your face Haunting, familiar yet, I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place But no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just want to scream...hello... My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin(g)'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the loser now
Will be later to win
Trouble Oh trouble set me free I have seen your face And it's too much for me today
Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You're eating my heart away And there's nothing much left of me
I've drunk your wine You have made your world mine So won't you be fair So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you So won't you be kind to me Just let me go where I'll have to go there
Trouble Oh trouble move away I have seen your face and it's too much for me today
Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You have made me a wreck Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise Hangin' on me Hangin' on me
I'm beat, I'm torn Shattered and tossed and worn Too shocking to see Too shocking to see
Trouble Oh trouble move from me I have paid my debt Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've looked under chairs I've looked under tables I've tried to find the key To fifty million fables
chorus: They call me The Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die
I asked Bobby Dylan I asked The Beatles I asked Timothy Leary But he couldn't help me either
chorus
People tend to hate me 'Cause I never smile As I ransack their homes They want to shake my hand
Focusing on nowhere Investigating miles I'm a seeker I'm a really desperate man
I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die
I learned how to raise my voice in anger Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile? I'm happy when life's good And when it's bad I cry I've got values but I don't know how or why
I'm looking for me You're looking for you We're looking in at each other And we don't know what to do
Don't mind me
Just let me be
My eyes so far away
I don't need no sympathy
The word, it's overplayed
I'm alright
It's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright
It's alright
It's just a broken heart
Don't have eyes for the world outside
They're closed and turned within
Trying to find the light inside
It's there, yet growing dim
I'm alright
It's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright
It's alright
People walking
People running
People waiting
On a second coming
Believe you me... I do believe 2x
People laughing
People starving
People divide
'Cause the people crowding
Believe you me... I do believe 2x
And I don't want to say no more today
Oh ho I don't want to hear no more today
Oh hey hey hey I don't want to say no more oh ho
Oh come on
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Come on
Whoa
Oh I do believe... I feel it
I do believe... I feel it
I feel it 30x
Yeah
Yeh ha
Come on boys
Oh ho oh 3x
It don't matter what yeah
It only matters when the time has come yeah yeah yeah
I feel part of the universe open up to meet me
My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
Once listening, the voices they came
Had to somehow greet myself, read myself
Heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells
Singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-la-ah-ah"
My love is safe for the universe
See me now, I'm bursting
On one planet, so many turns
Different worlds
Singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah"
Fill my heart with discipline
Put there for the teaching
In my head see clouds of stairs
Help me as I'm reaching
The future's paved with better days
Not running from something
I'm running towards the day
Wide awake
A whisper once quiet
Now rising to a scream
Right in me
I'm falling, free falling
Words calling me
Up off my knees
I'm soaring and, darling,
You'll be the one that I can need
I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything
[Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here
[Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night now they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commissions hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
Everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got in too deep and I could not pay So I drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay We're goin' out where the sands turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's cause the nights gettin' cold and maybe everything dies That's a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
I won't be the last
I won't be the first
Find a way to where the sky meets the earth
It's all right and all wrong
For me it begins at the end of the road
Through the sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow, through the days
I don't give in
I hide the tears
That wait within
But then, through sleepless nights
I cry again.
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you?
I keep hoping you
Come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please, let it be.
My love, please send this
Sleepless nights for me.
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you?
I keep hoping you
Come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please, let it be.
My love, please send this
Sleepless nights for me.
My love, please send this
I should have known there was someone else
Down below I always kept it to myself
Now I believe in nothing, not today
As I move myself out of your sight
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight
I could never go to no one else
The hurt don't show but who knows time will tell
I believe in nothing but the pain
And I can't see this turning out right
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight
Forever be sad and lonely
Forever never be the same
I close my eyes
Wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?
Oh, I believe in love and disaster
Sometimes the two are just the same
I'm beginning to see
What's left of me
Is gonna have to be free to survive
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself
Sun come up it was blue and gold Sun come up it was blue and gold Sun come up it was blue and gold Ever since I put your picture In a frame.
I come calling in my Sunday best I come calling in my Sunday best I come calling in my Sunday best Every since I put your picture In a frame
I'm gonna love you Till the wheels come off Oh yea
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
More than you know
More than you know
Lately I find
You're on my mind
More than you know
Whether I'm right
Whether I'm wrong
I need you so
More than you know
More than you know
Loving you
The way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
And the little bit of love
That I get may be all
That you can give
But I can't live without it
Oh how I cry
Oh how I cry
If you got tired
And said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever, ever know
More than you know
More than you'd ever, ever know
Every year is the same
And i feel it again,
I'm a loser... no chance to win
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
I got a gibson
Without a case
But i can't get that even tanned look on my face
I'll fitting clothes
And i blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud
But i'm one
I am one
And i can see
That this is me,
And i will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one
I'm the one
On bended knee is no way to be free
lifting up an empty cup I ask silently
that all my destinations will accept the one that's me
so I can breathe
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
so it goes...
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Everyone I come across in cages they bought
they think of me and my wandering
but I'm never what they thought
got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
underneath my being is a road that disappeared
late at night I hear the trees
they're singing with the dead
overhead...
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
consider me a satellite for ever orbiting
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
Such is the way of the world
Can't ever know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fall (fold)
Suddenly swallowed by signs
Lo and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Be it no concern, point of no return
Go forward in reverse
This I will recall
Everytime I fall
I'm free
Setting forth in the universe
Oh I'm free
Setting forth in the universe
Out here realigned
A planet out of sight
Nature drunk and high
Oh I'm free
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off
Than I was before
I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
(Chorus) Long nights allow me to feel I'm falling... I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel I'm falling, I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know
I've got this light and the will to show
I will always be
Better than before
Take leave in conscious mind
Found myself to be so inclined
Why sleep in discontent
For the price of companionship
(Chorus) My shadow runs with me
Underneath the big white sun
My shadow comes with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind
Ah, empty pockets will
Allow a greater sense of wealth
Why contain yourself like any other book on a shelf
(Chorus) My shadow lays with me
Underneath the big white sun
My shadow stays with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind...
Subtle voices in the wind,
And the truth they're telling
The world begins where the road ends
Watch me leave it all behind
Comes the morning when I can feel
That there's nothing left to be concealed
Moving on a scene surreal
No, my heart will never, will never be far from here
Sure as I'm breathing, sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
And there's a reason I'll be, a reason I'll be back
As I walk the hemisphere
I got my wish to up and disappear
I've been wounded, I've been healed
Now for landing I've been, landing I've been cleared
Sure as I'm breathing, sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
