Brisa Roché Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by official site)

Through glass doors and past a trophy tiger she strides in on long legs, a Golden Delicious loosely in hand. Her futurist backpack falls between homemade boots and from it she pulls pocketknife, notebook and telephone, arranged quickly now on the chrome bar before her. She smiles and I take in at once the battle of brown hair, pink serious doll-mouth, theatrical eyebrows over squint-eyes flashing light everywhere, tight black dress, tighter silver disco belt and beat-up ringless fingers. Then she begins her story:

Birth under the shadow of a sailboat bigger than the house, in the far North of California, a little faux-Eskimo "Baby Girl", who has to wait before being given her real name: "La Brisa Day Roché". A young artist mother who jogs the sand dunes carrying a tiny pistol and improvises songs like a constant domestic soundtrack. Writer-father, mysterious and very hero, at ease with the dangers of sea, city, road and mountain... He takes child-Brisa on "business" trips-- hiding from helicopters and sleeping on tropical beaches, visiting tipis and gold-mine camps, the 'Stones on ghetto blasters and van-radios, the Blues on record players of countless urban apartments. Her ear absorbs these sounds, and those of her mother's folk albums and improvisation, developing to the harmonies of the local children's choir as well, with which she tours Russia and Romania as a young teen.

At 16, Brisa leaves her mother's mountain cabin for her father, in Seattle. It's the peak of Grunge, but his death prevents her from participating. Instead she writes intense, lyrical songs in relative isolation, and plays acoustic guitar. She finishes highschool as a live-in nanny, practising with her band, "The Amazing Dimestore" in after-hours movie theatres, and playing weekends on her own at the public market.
18, in Paris, Brisa forms a "roots" trio and loves CAN, Joni Mitchell and PJ Harvey. A year passes and now at Reed College in the States, the longing for a band haunts her. She puts up notices, switches to electric guitar, and does vocals for an EMO group called "Bing Ra", which leaves her as unfulfilled as do her studies. In her native town again, frustrated by fruitless collaboration, Brisa swears off music. Then, to her surprise, finds herself singing standards each night on bike rides home through the fields. Curious and drawn to challenge, she decides to give jazz a shot.

Love, in the form of a punk rock bassist from New Mexico. With him, in the desert, she discovers monsoon season and continues pursuing her private vision of jazz. Here, Brisa interrupts herself, laughing like falling water, "Isn't that love, anyway? The desert, the monsoon, the Wild West?!" Her blue-green eyes and pale skin, her particular story-telling... I can picture her singing and am transported. Romance's brutal end pushes her back to Paris ("As far away as possible!"), where she dives into jazz as a way of life. Her voice, gestures, and ninja-queen stage presence quickly attract the eye of the media, and in 2005 she signs an artist's contract with Blue Note.
Brisa picks up her pen and makes a list of words describing her record-project, due out this fall. She writes:
CINEMATIC/INTIMATE/GENEROUS/SIXTIES'/FEMININE/GRANDIOSE/ROCK N ROLL and tells me how she plays her own compositions live again, how her "Destroyer" guitar still feels fresh under her touch. At the New Morning, a week later, I see her with a bare-bones band. I am overwhelmed. The grain of her voice moves between purity, emotion and velvet. Her arms fly, she makes faces under a crown of star-aimed revolvers, sings from the side of her mouth like Elvis. Brisa is relaxed and glowing, intense... magnificent, and we in the audience believe she loves us. Her guitar growls, her voice soars... We love her too.

Glad to be unhappy

( Rodgers/Hart )

Fools rush in and here I am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win but here I am
More, more, more than glad to be unhappy

Unrequited loves a bore
And I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
With no mummy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy, happy, happy
But I'm oh, so glad

Unrequited love's a bore
And I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
With no mummy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy, happy, happy, happy
But I'm oh, so
I'm oh, so glad

Melancholy lullaby

( Edward Heyman/Benny Carter )

Melancholy lullaby
Flying from a trouble sky
Ringing through the clinging vine
Right into this heart of mine

Melancholy lullaby
Listen, listen, listen to the nightwind sigh
How can I expect to sleep
When I lay me down to weep

Your love has cooled
From flame, flame to ice
And I've been fooled
Into a fool's paradise, hear, hear, hear

Hear the rhythm of the rain
Beating on my window pane
Wish that I could say goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby

Your love has cooled
From flame, flame to ice
And I've been fooled, fooled
Into a fool's paradise, hear, hear, hear

Hear the rhythm of the rain
Beating on my window pane
Wish that I could say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby
Melancholy lullaby

I hear music

( Burton Lane / Frank Loesser - St Germain des pres café Vol. 5 )

I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair

Sure, sure, sure, sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by

There's, there's my favorite melody
You, my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime I think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song

I hear music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by
Sure, sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair

There's, there's my favorite melody
You my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime I think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song

Soothe me

( Frank Loesser )

Soothe me, baby, soothe me
Make me feel so good
Way down inside

Soothe me, baby, soothe me
Mellow me, daddy, daddy, daddy...
Way down inside

Make your kisses like the honey
From the bee
Love me till I'm numb with esctasy

Soothe me, baby, soothe me
Make me feel good
Way down inside

Make your kisses like the honey
From the bee
Love me till I'm numb with esctasy

Soothe me, baby, soothe me
Make me feel good
Way down inside
Way down inside

Black Coffee

( Webster/Burke )

I'm feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a week
I walk the floor and watch that door
And in between I drink
Black, black, black, black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday, sunday, sunday dreams to dry

I'm talking to the shadows
From one o'clock til four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour
Black, black coffee
Love's a hand me down brew
I've never know a Sunday
In this weekday, weekday, weekday, weekday room

Now a man is born to go a lovin', lovin'...
A woman's born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes

I'm moaning all the morning
And mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Just waiting for my baby
To someday maybe, someday maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces
My hair is turning gray
All I do is drink black coffee
Since my man's gone away

Now a man is born to go a lovin', lovin'...
A woman's born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes

I'm moaning all the morning
And mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Just waiting for my baby
To someday maybe, someday maybe, baby come around
Come around, baby come around
Come around, baby come around
Come around, come around

Azure interlude

( Duke Ellington )

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Stardust, stardust gleaming
Through my solitude
Here in my seclusion
You're a blue illusion
While I'm drifting in an azure mood
I'm not wanted
I'm so all alone
Always haunted
By the dreams I own
But, though I'm tormented
I must be contented

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood
Stardust gleaming
Through my solitude
Here in my seclusion
You're a blue illusion
While I'm dreaming an azure mood

Drifting, dreaming
In an azure mood

( Rezső Seress )

Gloomy is sunday
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday
In shadows, shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you, caressing you, caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much, how much, how much I wanted you
Gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy Sunday

Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams

( Ted Koehler, Billy Moll & Harry Barris )

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Your castles may tumble, that's Fate after all
Life's really funny that way, ah!
No use to grumble, just smile as they fall
Weren't you King for a day? Say!

Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain, ah!
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Your castles may tumble, that's Fate after all
Life's really funny that way, ah ah!
No use to grumble, just smile as they fall
Weren't you King for a day? Say!

Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
Wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Oh, You Crazy Moon

( Burke/Van Heusen )

When they met
The way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do

When they kissed
They tried to say that
It was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done

Once you promised me, you know
That it would never, never, never, never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny, funny, funny face my friend

There, there, there, they are
They fell in love
I guess you think you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
You broke my heart

I Get Along Without You Very Well

( Hoagy carmichael )

I get along without you very well
Of course, of course, of course, of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, of course, of course I do
But I get along without you very well

I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course, of course, of course, of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should

What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart
Could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I fall once more
No, it's best that I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
Of course, of course, of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
Break my heart in two

It's Like Reaching For The Moon

( Sherman / lewis / marqusee )

It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the stars
It's like reaching, reaching, reaching for the sun
Reaching for you

You're so far, far, far, far above me
How can I expect an angel to love me
Who is so divine as you are

It's like flying without wings
Playing fiddle with no strings
And a million other things
No one can do
Though my hopes are slender
In my secret heart I pray you'll surrender soon
Though, it's like reaching for the moon

It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the stars
It's like reaching, reaching, reaching for the sun
Reaching for you

You're so far above me
How can I expect an angel to love me
Who is so divine as you are

It's like flying without wings
Playing fiddle with no strings
And a million other things
No one can do
Though my hopes are slender
In my secret heart I pray that you'll surrender soon
Though, it's like reaching, reaching for the moon

So Tired

( Russ Morgan )

I'm so tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of longing for you
Tired of waiting
Saving my love, my love, my love for you

I'm so tired of only daydreams
I'm so tired, so tired of only play schemes
Why don't you call me
Call me tonight my dear

Come on, come on, come on and tell me
That your thoughts are all of me sweetheart, sweetheart
For all day long I wonder why
We're far, far, far, far apart

I'm so tired of longing for you
I'm so tired, so tired of waiting for you
But though I'm tired
I'll wait forever dear

Come on and tell me
That your thoughts are all of me sweetheart
For all day long I wonder why
We're far, far apart

I'm so tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of longing, longing for you
But though I'm tired
I'll wait forever
I'll wait forever dear

Jim

( N. Shawn / C. Petrillo / E. Ross / M. Samuels )

Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty, pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
I don't know why I'm so crazy, crazy, crazy for Jim

Jim never, bever, never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I never seem to set his love on fire
Gone, gone are the years I have wasted on him

Sometimes when I get feelin' low
I say, I say let's call it quits, quits, quits, quits
Then I hang on and let him go
Breakin', breakin', breakin' my heart in bits

Someday, someday, someday, someday I know
That Jim will up and leave me
But even when he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying, carrying the torch for my Jim

Sometimes when I get feelin' low
I say, I say let's call it quits, quits, quits, quits
Then I hang on and let him go
Breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin' my heart in bits

Someday, someday, someday I know
I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even when he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying, carrying, carrying the torch for my Jim
My Jim, my Jim, my Jim

Airplane

Airplane pushes up through clouds
Through violet sinking sun
Pushing up through rose my love
Held on me like a gun

They put me in the sky
It's for my guy, it's for my guy
This penitence of flight
This contraband and sigh

Now I run from silver plane
Runnin' from my lover's aim
They'll try now to lock me down
In this sunset gown

They put me in the sky
It's for my guy, it's for my guy
This penitence of flight
This contraband and sigh

Here I lie
Here I lie
Here I lie

Mystery Man

I know I mesmerize you baby
Like the robbers do the cop
But hush I'm not the girl for you
A robber like me you should drop

Hush hush I can't help it
If on every second night
I'm out to hunt some mystery
Although your arms feel right

Mystery, man, mystery man oh man
Drop me now pretty baby if you can
Mystery, man, mystery man oh man
Drop me now pretty baby if you can
If you can

You know I like to kiss your whiskey lips
Go straight to the vein
But I'll be out for mystery
Just the same

Hush hush violet evening
With the town laid out like jewels
Leave me now as I cha-cha-cha
Go now or be my fool

Mystery, man, mystery man oh man
Drop me now pretty baby if you can
Mystery, man, mystery man oh man
Drop me now pretty baby if you can
If you can, if you can

Dans Le Vert De Ses Yeux

Dans le vert de ses yeux
Il y avait d'autres terres
Dans l'immense clairière
Des châteaux fabuleux
Et rien n'était chimère
Dans le vert de ses yeux

Dans le vert de ses yeux
Il y avait l'espérance
Un jour je m'en souviens
Elle m'invita sans méfiance
Au pays qui est le sien
Au pays de ses yeux

Elle marchait devant moi
Elle sautait légère
Sur le sentier étroit
Qui bordait la bruyère
Mais chacun de mes pas
Faisait crouler la terre

Un abîme s'est creusé
Dans le vert de ses yeux
Et sans même un adieu
Je la vis s'éloigner
Et plus je l'appelais
Et plus je la perdais

J'ai perdu mon amour
Dans un pays d'amour
Et j'ai cherché en vain
Pour retrouver le chemin
Qui mène sous d'autres cieux
Au pays de ses yeux

Billionaire

You're a billionaire

With our open kiss
On the lightest air

If we only dare

Knock me out, knock me out, clean out
Blow my mind
Make me make me shout
Shout, shout, shout, shout, shout, shout

You're a billionaire
I'm a billionaire
We could float away
If we only dare

Warned

When I'm travelling far
In a boat or in a car
I just cannot forget
How I'm not with you yet

When I'm mixing with stars
I'm aware of where you are
I can talk a pretty storm
But just your smile is oh so warm

When I'm making up rhymes
I pick words I can climb
Just like stairs to your eyes
But all my words sound like sighs

When I'm dreaming at night
I can fly and I can fight
But in my dreams it's you I seek you
And the flower of your cheek

I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop

When I'm starting a brawl
I jump fast and I might crawl
In the brawls I'd have with you
I'd do something sweeter too

When I'm singing alone
Off the cliffs or on the phone
I sing songs just made for you
And I plan wars just for two

I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop
I'm warned, but I can't stop

When I'm teetering high
Feel your touch upon my thigh
Pull the blankets down please
For baby I am on my knees

Other girls imagine this
To be healed with just a kiss
But I want to heal you too
So let me heal you through and through

Little Robot

All wrong
For you I'm all wrong
Far gone
On you I am far gone

My song
For you is my song
Hold on
For you I'll hold on

A little robot in my pocket
A little robot up my sleeve
But you're so fucking foxy
I can't leave, I can't leave

All wrong
For you I'm all wrong
Don Juan
To you I'm Don Juan

It's been so long
For you so long
I'm so strong
For you I'm so strong

A little robot in my pocket
A little robot up my sleeve
But you're so fucking foxy
I can't leave, I can't leave
I can't leave, I can't leave

Come on
To you I'll come on
Far gone
On you I'm far gone

So drawn
To you I'm so drawn
King Kong
To you I'm King Kong

You made my mind up for me
You made me like a bed
You were so fucking foxy
I can't remember what you said
I can't remember what you said
I can't remember what you said

Torchlight

Torchlight
Put this T-bone in tins
Fill this satchels full of mineral
I'm on my way

Torchlight
I must find sea
Of fail today in love
So I'm on my way

I depart like I came
The view's gone maroon
The sun's on the waves magenta
Laid out to me like torchlight for my flight

Torchlight
Leave me for gone
I seek the salty wave
So I'm on my way

Torchlight
Put this T-bone in tins
Fill this satchels full of mineral
I'm on my way

Torchlight
I must find sea
Of fail today in love
So I'm on my way

I depart like I came
The view's gone maroon
The sun's on the waves magenta
Laid out to me

Torchlight for my flight
Torchlight leave me for gone
I seek the salty wave
I'm on my way

Torchlight
Torchlight
Torchlight

A Luxury

I was trying to be a soldier
But his rocket arms were much too good
I flew across the sea, and over boulder
To see a fire blazing without wood

I was trying to be a lady
I was trying to be very very nice
He was trying to make me crazy
Made me miss my igloo made of ice

It was the fire of Eskimo eyes on him
It was a luxury, it was too much
Nothing really ever was surprising him
His brush and bass were what he loved to touch

I was trying to be a soldier
But his rocket arms were far too good
I flew across the sea, and over boulders
To see a fire blazing without wood

I was trying to be a lady
I was trying to be very very nice
He was trying to make me crazy
Made me miss my igloo made of ice

It was the fire of Eskimo eyes on him
It was a luxury, it was too much
Nothing really ever was surprising him
His brush and bass were what he loved to touch

Lasers never sent to strike it down
Have given up your heart without a sound

Baby Shut Your Eyes

Baby shut your eyes and go to sleep
Let me make things softer than they seem
Out to the horizon take your dreams
Open up your arms and make me king
Padadada, Padadada

Baby shut your eyes and go to sleep
Listen to the sirens through the trees
Pull the blankets from your skin of cream
Feel me as I slowly take the lead
Padadada, just close your eyes

Evening winds sing dark a love song
Mountains glow, although the sun is gone
Black-ash seas move silver waves along
Waves along, waves along, baby, baby

Shut your eyes and go to sleep
Stars up in the sky burn warm and deep
Everything is quiet in the street
So baby shut your eyes and go to sleep
Padadada, Padadada

Baby shut your eyes and go to sleep

Coco

Je t'enlève d'ici
Dans un sac en toile
Que j'ai découpé
D'un bateau à voile

J'ai pris mon couteau
Ils ont eu très peur
J'ai couru sur l'eau
Te trouver mon coeur

J'ai pris mon couteau
J'ai mis du Coco
Ils ont eu très très peur
Quand je t'ai pris mon amour

Les ficelles se mêlent
Dans mes mains j'les tiens
J'ai mis du Chanel
Pour que tu sentes bien

J'ai pris mon couteau
J'ai mis du Coco
Ils ont eu très peur
Quand je t'ai pris mon amour

J'ai pris mon couteau
J'ai mis du Coco
Ils ont eu très très peur
Quand je t'ai pris mon amour

Flying Too High

I'm driving fast
And walking too slow
I'm catching my breath
I'm wrecking the show

Riding through storm
I'm riding through sun
I'd be padding fast with the wind on my chest
If your heart I had won

I'm on my way to you now
But I can't get there quickly enough
No matter how I try
No matter how I try

I'm flying too high
I'm making a scene,
On my way to your arms
My impatience is mean

I'm flying too high
I'm making a scene
On my way to your arms
I'm blazing

Running through grass
I'm pacing the shore
Awake before dawn
To your heart I implore

I'm skimming waves
I'm facing the wheel
I'm making a fist
And your heart I will steal

I'm on my way to you now
But I can't get there
Quickly enough
No matter how I try
No matter how I try

I'm flying too high
I'm making a scene
On my way to your arms
My impatience is mean

I'm flying too high
I'm making a scene
On my way to your arms
I'm blazing

Diving through mud
And tearing my pants
I'm lingering long
In search of your glance

I'm waiting for down to light up my tracks
I've wagered my heart so I've nothing to pack
I'm racing with my pulse, and I'm gliding at night
I'm wishing hard I could fall into your arms from my flight

Sugarfight

You wake up, I'm there
Stay, stay, stay, sugar
Stay, stay, sweet stay
Your eyes like feathers

Black lashes babe
In your arms, take me
This baby-house of baby-leaves
Go on, wind, blow wind

It's my delight
This sugar-fight
It's my delight
This sugar-fight

But stay, stay, sugar
Stay sweet, black lash babe
Let me kiss you down
I'll ease you now

It's my delight
This sugar-fight
It's my delight
This sugar-fight
This sugar-fight

At The Shore

At the shore, from the car
A boy and a girl not gone far
See the waves pound the beach
See the girl just out of reach

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

Under skies rolling black
By the wood, off the track
Ocean's blast but no word said
The stars turn above their heads

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

I want to miss you
I want to guess your wish
I want to miss you
I'll help you get your wish

I want to miss you

Now that it's long over, I swear to you I'll never cry again.
Now that it's long over, I know I'll never cry for Ray, or West, or Ben.
I gave you my heart and you threw it away.
Tonight at the bar, « you deserved it » I'll say.
Baby, when we danced I could feel your heart riding mine,
But now I don't have any tears to use as a sign of love.
I crossed the world just to flee from your eyes.
Now I'll never cry for any other guys.
Now that it's long over, I swear to you I'll never cry, anymore,
Now that it's long over, I'm sure now on,
My goodbyes will be a bore.
Driving my car with the windows down.
At the bar I'll be wearing my drinks like a crown.
Now I don't care if they stay or if they go.
I might leave myself when the firs roosters crow.
I crossed the world just to flee from your eyes,
Now I'll never cry for any other guys.
You look so good in those Rock ‘n' roll pants.
It's understood, I can't cry so I'll dance.
I crossed the world

Ride 600

Jungle leaves on balconies
City horns beside
Your brown eyes a great escape
A candy horse to ride

For girls to ride
Your big brown eyes
My sweet surprise
Your eyes to ride

A girl will grab your candy-mane
She'll take you where you've never been
Your eyes like leaves, your eyes will cry
She'll take you riding everywhere, in the air

She'll take you riding in the air
And you won't care where
And downtown the lights are gold and clear
And downtown you are her only dear

For girls to ride
Your big brown eyes
My sweet surprise
Your eyes to ride

A girl will grab your candy-mane
She'll take you where you've never been
Your eyes like leaves, your eyes will cry

Breathe in, speak out

One, two
One two three

Your stars aligned for taking down
You wear a nest like it's a crown
The runway that's the streets in flames
Your shoes your private fleet of planes

The vapor's work is working in your chest
A perfume that's a substitute for rest
Oh you're gonna break the winner's ribbon
Pay back every coin you've been given

Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt
Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt

You are not a stallion
But you want her like the motor's rev
You want her like a diamond
That's been lost beneath the bed

One, two, three, four
One, two, three

The trigger in your hand awake
You're taking all that you can take
The heavy dream is where you're bound
Heavy gives your song its sound

Under ash or crystal cloud
Standing where it's not allowed
Now your twitching hips ignite
A dance for making things alright

Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt
Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt

Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt
Breathe in, speak out
Kick down, every doubt

You are not a stallion
But you want her like the motor's rev
You want her like a diamond
That's been lost beneath the bed

Three, four
One, two, three

Heavy dreaming

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Borrowed morning
Cloudy shorebreak
Falcon soaring
Daylights blind date
Never cocktails
Always coffee
Stupid coat-tails
Opium poppy

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Sharp italian's
Falling castle
Racing stallions
Silver tassel
Revving motor
Clever vision
Hidden harbor
Take this ribbon

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Oh so black your hair
Put your head down here
Oh so black your hair
Put your head down here

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now

Baby run now
Baby run now
Baby run now
Run, run baby
Run, run baby
Run, run baby
Run, run baby

The drum

You gotta choose your rock'n roll
You're sure to make him go
But when, when will you find
Someone so warm
Someone so kind

You're the chieftan of your show
You're led just by the road
You're tired and you know best
The way he tried to help you rest

Oh what a body, tanned by sun
Tall and lean
A body built by angels
Built to know just what I mean

He's got to dance his moves alone
And make the floor his own
While I, I take my time
To beat the drum
And chase the dime

I told him yes then told him no
Left alone to ride the flow
But songs, at fall of night
Though I'm away, make it alright

Oh what a body, tanned by sun
Tall and lean
A body built by angels
Built to know just what I mean

You got to choose your rock'n roll
You're sure to make him go
But when, when will you find
Someone so warm
Someone so kind

Oh what a body, tanned by sun
Tall and lean
A body built by angels
Built to know just what I mean

You got to choose your rock'n roll
Oh, oh, oh...

Trampoline

Trampoline
You're not the one
But i'll make us breakfast
And go for a drive

Trampoline
My heart's not won
But the pacific is gorgeous
Let's go for a dive

Two shoe-store
Sales' boys
And that's not all
Oh all these little joys
But my heart won't fall
My heart won't fall

Trampoline
Technical sneakers
Morning-time, wake up
I'll wash out your hair

Trampoline
Joni on the speakers
Champa in the soap-dish
Smokes in the air

Two shoe-store
Sales' boys
And that's not all
Oh all these little joys
But my heart won't fall
My heart won't fall

Trampoline
I'll warm the car
Let's fo to Trinidad
Searching for some stones
Trampoline
You're not my star
But don't be so serious
My love's for loan

Two shoe-store
Sales' boys
And that's not all
Oh all these little joys
But my heart won't fall
My heart won't fall
No

Hand on steel

Baby hear
When you turn to me
I wanna take you over
Put you right beside me
And drive the car away
Heavy-lidded baby
The road will make it better

I'll make a song up for you
Here's what it will say

Put your head on my lap
Cool the coastline this hour
Radar's bloom is a trap
Closed now, tight as a flower

Black your hair by the wheel
Deep my jungle of dreams
Loose, my hand on the steel
My heart's just what it seems
My heart's just what it seems

Baby hear
When you turn to me
I wanna make you love me
Drug the heart that flitters
And steal into your veins
Never seen you crying
I want to see you hungry

Let me light you up now
Asleep as I explain
Two, three, four

Put your head on my lap
Cool the coastline this hour
Radar's bloom is a trap
Closed now, tight as a flower

Black your hair by the wheel
Deep my jungle of dreams
Loose, my hand on the steel
My heart's just what it seems
My heart's just what it seems

Oh I'll take you there
I'll take you there
I'll take you 'till it won't be fair

Whistle

Eighteen coming like thunder
Platinum bangs and you under
Driving high on the Cliffside
Black rocks bared by the low-tide

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

Palm on kerosene lantern
You, curled soft as a kitten
Hitch-hike over the passes
You, queen of cutting classes

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

Crossing north to the island
Your ringed fingers in my hand
Puppet-strings over Coltrane
At the twins in the grey rain

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

The building

I made you a building so grand
The stars and the sun just couldn't stand
It towering there, blocking their rays
From everyone walking the streets underneath like a maze

With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown

I made you a building so high
I knew you were wrong
But I didn't know why, why
Not out of wires, not with a spoon
I know you don't care but it angers the big giant moon

With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown

With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown

Now my thought have flown
Now my thought have flown
Flown, flown, flown...

Without a pain

Everybody told me not to follow where you led
But I had to go and see at least
You were not an angel but you're wrong to think
Your glamour and your violence mean you're a beast

Black your leather
And your messy head
White your eyes and shirt
And your fancy bed

I know that you said stupid things against me
And that I led you on without a plan
I never called our story a solution
I just adored how you said "I'm your man"

Black your leather
And your messy head
White your eyes and shirt
And your fancy bed

Black and white the cop cars closing in
On you tonight before my heart you win

But your low warm voice
Leaves me with no choice
Even when you're mean
Your voice makes me dream

Black and white the cop cars closing in
On you tonight, on you tonight,
On you tonight before my heart you win

I led you on and on
I led you on and on and on
I led you on and on
I led you on, I led you on
I led you on

High

Your skin in the smoke of the wood, dinner hour
Makes me high under the violet sky-tower
Look all around us, the cut plants regrow
Leaning like me to get close to your glow

Even in the city there's a rhythm
And it's by this beat that we are driven
One, two, three, four, I still want more

When my planet turns on, I will triple in size
As a gesture explaining my love for your eyes
Little star-beats that wander and hide in the air
Tumble drunk just like me in the scent of your hair

Even in the city there's a rhythm
And it's by this beat that we are driven
One, two, three, four, I still want more

The feathers that I found might have been yours or mine
Invisibly silver on dry grass and vine
And the sweater and Tee-shirt I found at the shore
Are still soaked with the salt from our dancing before

Even in the city there's a rhythm
And it's by this beat that we are driven
One, two, three, four, I still want more
Seven, eight, nine, give me more time

Egyptian

I'm rolling in a borrowed car
A hot-rod called egyptian
With Jules in the back
And a terrible decision
Green and white
And blue and black
We'll use for making portraits
The colors flashing by outside
We'll bring into the fortress

With Jules on
With you on
With me on

Once out in the country
Brand-new midnight words
We'll christen
The towers that you wrote of
Will be too far off to listen
Soft you make my visions
And I fear my hand you'll take
Morning-cakes like animals
For tired eyes i'll bake

With Jules on
With you on
With me on

Mother, father, brothers
Might be sitting at the table
But here beneath my touch
I'll keep you as sweetly as I'm able
A beautiful boy
Beside his dark egyptian model
Almost high i'll drive you both
To where the papers cannot follow

With Jules on
With you on
With me on, on, on...

Halfway on

Walked out of bed with a sweater halfway on
Haven't read your books yet but I know your pale mouthed smile
Windy branches on silver sky looked so good
Went out with my suitcase rolling, for maybe a mile

Even birds moving on the white sky
Didn't know if I should stay with some more or should I go
They looked like my hair with your hair in a mess on the sheets
But branches didn't know how long I should stay with you or go

Your aqua eyes ask
But no signs come now

Black birds turning round don't say a word
Tender sometimes you gather me like the market brings the town
Your bright eyes use the word "forever"
But even Samsonite won't say how long i'll love you now

Your aqua eyes are the only things talking
Still I'm asking "should I stay here some more, or go"
I'm asking the morning and branches and birds
That are moving and rolling in the wind sweater halfway on
Thinking "no, no, no, no..."

Your aqua eyes ask
But no signs come now
No signs come, they don't come, they don't come
No signs, no signs come
They don't come, they don't come...

The choice

If, on my bike, I led you to the castle
If in your van, the whole fucking tattooed band teased
Trouble is sometimes deserved and sometimes asked for
So sweetheart, if I'm your fool I must be released

Darling, here is the choice I am making
Morning is upon us, without a noise
Out by myself, towards the sun
The road I'm taking

I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys
I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys

You know I Could have got that thing off the ground
I told you dear, the weather it was rising
Dawn like a red-breasted Robin but noon with a frown
Baby if you're on your own now, it's not surprising

Darling, here is the choice I am making
Morning is upon us, without even a noise
Out by myself, towards the sun
This road I'm taking

I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys
I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys

I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys
I'll keep my eyes
Shining bright for other boys

Call me

Call me when you're dreaming
Call when you're waking
Call me with your blue eyes
Call me with your brown eyes

Call me in the wet hills
Call me from the fast car
Call from the slow car

The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read everyone of your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And his hound have been giving us looks

Call me with your green eyes
Call with your hazel eyes
Call me with your pale mouth
Call me with your red mouth

Call me in the soft sky
Call in the rough sky
Call me from the tall wave
Call me from the low wave

The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read everyone of your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And hound are giving us looks

The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read all your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And his hound are giving us looks
Call me, call me...

Right black spotlight

The wind is coming cross the bay
Lights are on the shiny night
Glitter, glitter, never say
You lost this moment like a fight

Pitch black spotlight like a kiss
First-class deals are cold here
Condors rise and pythons hiss
The motor kicks up in your ear

Barefoot baby's lamp's on
Moving like the cam's on
Do "the tiger", do "the cat"
But privacy is where it's at

Barefoot baby's lamp's on
Moving like the cam's on
Do "the tiger", do "the cat"
But privacy is where it's at

Every time you flashed your eyes
Darling heard the starting shot
Flash them like a golden prize
But darling's danger can't be bought

Window-pane out with a fist
Pantry door is open wide
Dance, but do remember this
It looks the best when you don't try

Barefoot baby's lamp's on
Moving like the cam's on
Do "the tiger", do "the cat"
But privacy is where it's at

Barefoot baby's lamp's on
Moving like the cam's on
Do "the tiger", do "the cat"
But privacy is where it's at

My, my, my, pretty baby

The mummy

Wrapped up like a mummy
I go spinning-down the winter street
With a stupid heart saying your name at every beat
A silly halo of breathing
Hand in my big coat lost
You know when you try to have everything
There is a cost

Car horns blow from the side
Icy are the little tears I cried
And above, the devil-wind is hollering
A song, cold and dry

"I don't even miss you
Rock'n roll baby
I'm better here stumbling
Better alone
I don't want to kiss you
Rock'n roll baby
I hold up my hand
And pretend it's a phone
With my hand to my ear
I'm stumbling dear
Pretending your voice is my own"

Stone Trade

You're the only man
Who can satisfy me
Let me speak to your body
When you sleep

You're gonna be
My new Goliath
I'll use this love
As a gun against death

You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Skies of green in your eyes
Turn my night to sunrise
Give me your word
Give me all your words
I'll take your fear
And feed it to the birds

You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart
You got my stone to beat like a heart...

Penetrate

Silver hair and aqua eyes
A diamond flag suspended
Over shoulders it describes
The perfect country you defend

Kisses in prize-fighting style
Are causing me to wonder
If we'll ever reconcile
Our ways of being prey or being hunter

I'm gonna penetrate your forest baby, forest baby
What I break will grow again they say, again they say
I'm gonna penetrate your forest baby, forest baby
Certain vows you have to make each day, make each day
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Radical the way a child
Is when he's alone, ambitious
Though you come off mild
You're so beautiful it's vicious

Get a girl who likes your key
And lock her in your castle
Now I know I'll never be
The mortar to your pestle

I'm gonna penetrate your forest baby, forest baby
What I break will grow again they say, again they say
I'm gonna penetrate your forest baby, forest baby
Certain vows you have to make each day, make each day

Sweat King

Honey take me dancing like I'm leaping rock to rock
Honey take me leaping rock to rock at discotech
Honey now's the time although I know it's Monday night
Honey put your summer perfume on with pants real tight

Sweat's what makes the night a foreign country
King don't turn away or I'll be gone
Sweat's one of the things you know you promised me
Just make sure tonight I never yawn
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Out of caves I'm coming, I'm a bell about to ring
Arms are raised, I'm running to do disco-everything
White as moon from hiding, now my hair's like branches
With the air colliding in my fists are matches

Sweat's what makes the night a foreign country
King don't turn away or I'll be gone
Sweat's one of the things you know you promised me
Just make sure tonight I never yawn

Sweat's what makes the night a foreign country
King don't turn away or I'll be gone
Sweat's one of the things you know you promised me
Just make sure tonight I never yawn...

Bloom

In the bottom of the theatre, where the line is drawn
In between the water heaters I bent down and took the straw
In a room full of powders, on your skin were black ink fields
We held hands as I talked louder, my body strange in its difficult heels

The branded arms that walked my bike home
Rested right above me in a flower's name
That's where I talked and talked and shut up 'til he loved me
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Underneath where pipes go, I saw crosses on your skin
Make-up mirror lights glowed, I forgot to wish that I was thin
The part of me that lets me dream, or if I'm lucky, sleep
Is walking where we walked last time, and swimming where it's deep

The branded arms that walked my bike home
Rested right above me in a flower's name
That's where I talked and talked and shut up 'til he loved me
I talked and talked and shut up 'til he loved me

Hard As Love

Right off the shelf, you read my life
You made me dream I was a wife
Eyes like a palace, tongue full of gold
You shouted "action" then the film rolled

I'm blown
I'm blown
I'm blown
Hard as love to your door

You take a breath, you say you want more
Hand on the glass, like I've seen before
White cotton pillow, hair dirty black
You want to take me and not give me back
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm blown
I'm blown
I'm blown
Hard as love to your door

Dangerous baby, it could be true
You got a halo, it's just black and blue
I saw it shining at the hotel
How do you hit me just like a bell

I'm blown
I'm blown
I'm blown

Open Your Lock

Cold black window
Boy way up high
Me down below
Turn on your light
You still don't know
What to wear tonight

Knife at my chest
Street like the sea
You've had your rest
You've had your dream
I'll do my best
If you'll come down to me
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Boy, if you cannot decide tonight
Which tight pants, which jacket is right
Just make a cape with the sheet in your fist
Open your lock and lean into my kiss

Your room looks soft
I'm on my knees
Wind on and off
Comes through the trees
We don't need to talk
Just throw down your keys

You'll never try
We'll never meet
My flashing eyes
Cars in the street
But it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

Boy, if you cannot decide tonight
Which tight pants, which jacket is right
Just make a cape with the sheet in your fist
Open your lock and lean into my kiss

Do What You Can Do

I can't sleep without you
I wreck the bed and wait for day
Lights and sirens are nothing next to you
My care for sleep's gone away

Un, deux, trois, quatre!

Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you
Doesn't seem to wear me out
Come and do what you can do
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you
It doesn't seem to wear me out
Come and do what you can do

The wind rubs itself against the door
You must think that I can wait
I dream of you but I need more
While you swallow every bait

Un, deux, trois, quatre!

Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you
Doesn't seem to wear me out
Come and do what you can do

Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you
It doesn't seem to wear me out
Come and do what you can do

In my bed I kick the sheets
My desire like horses runs
You're too far to hear me plead
For the moment you will come

Un, deux, trois, quatre!

Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you
Doesn't seem to wear me out
Come and do what you can do

Driving fast along the fields
Driving like I did with you

It's Alright

One, two, three, four

Your prehistoric eyes
And the perfume on your neck
Were such the right surprise, yeah
You touched me there and back

Your captivating mind
And the pants so black and tight
I guess I must admit
I was looking for trouble alright, alright

I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright
I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright

Your band-tee-shirt's torn and your vinyl collection's stunning
You're mad at me because it's clear that I'm not running
You seem to think that I have always been too lucky
Well, I can't be mad at you, for I am far far too lucky
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright
I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright

Hang on, rock stars
It's alright, it's alright
Rock stars lose their haloes every night
Every night

I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright
I'm losing you like a halo, but it's alright
You're losing me like a halo, but it's alright

Past Contemplative

You hit the table with your fist
As if to say "no room here for what's fragile"
So now you've got your crowd awake
Back and forth from praise to shame you're agile

And it's experience when your work turns bad
And it's experience when your eyes wake up sad

Your hair has grown across your eyes
And this looks quite good as if you planned it
Still they back away when they learn
That they're only moons around your planet

And it's experience when your work turns bad
And it's experience when your eyes wake up sad

I want to be sweet to you, let me try
I want to climb with you, until you're high
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You radiate a state of cool
But don't believe I'm fooled that it is native, no
Yet your hand at building fires
Turns me on way past contemplative

And it's experience when your work turns bad
And it's experience when your eyes wake up sad

Green Light

When I'm driving in your eyes
I feel like a thousand miles per hour
New desire feels like hope
Touch me and I'll turn and turn to smoke

Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light

Lost the time of year when I saw you
Lost the time of day I just want to be your girl
We could be like kids you know
But that's not the way I want to show
How I want you, how I want to
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light

What if what we've lost won't go away
What if nothing's worth what out hearts pay

Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light
Oh, oh, oh, oh, turn on my green light...

Like A Cure

You're back today and down at the sailor-bar
The old Jambalaya with black and white tiles is aflame
You grab my hand and both of us dressed up in roses
We'll break down the night until there's no-one to blame

That's how I'm dancing like a cure for you
I'm dancing like an answer
I'm doing tricky robot-moves
I'm your dirvish-disco-fencer

Bees sting when you lie in the garden
Loving the feel of the green on your feet and your hands
Gorgeous, you can laugh at my passes
But tonight you'll be falling right into the palm of my plans

So I'm dancing like a cure for you
Dancing like an answer
I'm doing tricky robot-moves
I'm your dirvish-disco-fencer
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Trees fall when the day is silent
Not in the wind of the storm of the evening before
I know I am a tyrant
But once in your arms I'll be trying to be something more

See now I'm dancing like a cure for you
Dancing like an answer
I'm doing tricky robot-moves
I'm your dirvish-disco-fencer

Dancing like a cure for you
I'm dancing like a cure

Dancing like a cure for you
Dancing like an answer
I'm doing tricky robot-moves
I'm your dirvish-disco-fencer

I'm dancing like a cure
I'm dancing like a cure
I'm dancing like a cure
I'm dancing like a cure
Like a cure, like a cure
Like a cure, like a cure
Like a cure

Mile Stride

In this town the trees look like ladies
In this town the totem-pole towers
In this town the houses are lacy
In this town it rains on the flowers

My ray-gun awake in my palm, I see hundreds of peaks up ahead
I want to go further and further and further and further 'til I'm dead

I'm never sad when out on the narrow
I am a dog with a thousand bones
Stars overhead look just like an arrow
Pointing the way to take to get to my throne

My ray-gun awake in my palm, I see hundreds of peaks up ahead
I want to go further and further and further and further 'til I'm dead
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
In this town so gloomy is winter
In this town there's chalk on your hands
My nights with you were spent as only a renter
We met each other sometimes under the bands

My ray-gun awake in my palm, I see hundreds of peaks up ahead
I want to go further and further and further and further 'til I'm dead
My ray-gun awake in my palm, I see hundreds of peaks up ahead
I want to go further and further and further and further 'til I'm dead

My stride is a mile long
I'm riding the wave of the feeling of being gone
My stride is a mile long
I'm caught on the weight of the feeling of being gone
My stride is a mile long, is a mile long, is a mile long

*** Thanx a lot to Peterican for this one ***

Get Down

Baby when you look at me
Oh lord baby when you look at me
I get high, and I want to get down with you

Baby when you look at me
Oh lord baby when you look at me
I get high, and I want to get down with you

The state is aching for the next new criminal
Baby it's you
A wave is crashing strong like crashing cymbals
In song for you

Someone's fingers comb my thoughts from afar
Yeah, it is you
Woodsmoke from the fire smells so good
But not as good as you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I can hear you laughing as you joke I've given up
My love of you
All the running dogs they make me mad because
I'd like to run to you

When we were dancing
And I saw your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
A hundred thousand miles away from me you are
You are tonight, you are tonight
You are tonight, tonight, tonight

Baby when you look at me
Oh lord baby when you look at me

You're Wrong

If you thought that when I fought you
I knew it would begin, you're wrong
When you say that being rivals
Quickly made us criminals, you're wrong

You want to be so good to me
You say you're fine if I am free, you're wrong
And leaving on trains, though the sight of you
Still stains my eyes, you're wrong

You wonder why I write of other boys
Well, it's because your garden has such subtle joys
Joys, such subtle joys
Joys, such subtle joys, joys, joys

I am drawn to those who're wrong
The ones with flaming swords and moving song
Yeah, I a drawn to those who're wrong
The ones with flaming swords and moving song

You wonder why I write of other boys
Well, it's because your garden has such subtle joys
Joys, such subtle joys
Joys, such subtle joys, joys, joys, joys
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I thought my heart was sweet
You thought my heart was sweet
We thought my heart was sweet
But we were wrong

Joys, joys, joys
Joys, joys, joys...

Bette Davis Eyes

(Jackie DeShannon)

Rosemary Standley :

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She's got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think that she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think that she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you

Cherry Bomb

(The Runaways)

Ndidi O. :

Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say "You poor little fool"
Down the streets, I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for

Hello, daddy, hello, mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

Stone age love and strange sounds too

Bad nights causing teenage blues
Get down ladies, you've got nothin' to lose

Hello, daddy, hello, mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

Have you and grab you until you're sore

Hello, daddy, hello, mom
I'm your cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Your cherry bomb
Cherry bomb

Here comes the cherry bomb

The Safety Dance

(Men Without Hats)

Brisa Roché :

S.A.F.E.T.Y
Safety Dance

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance, dance
Dance, dance

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Chance, chance

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Chance, chance

Well, it's the safety

The Light Pours Out Of Me

(Magazine)

Brisa Roché :

Time flies
Time crawls
Like an insect
Up and down the walls

The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me

The conspiracy
Of silence ought
To revolutionize
My thought

The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me

The cold light of day
Pours out of me
Leaving me black
And so healthy

The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me

It jerks out of me
Like blood
In this still life
Heart beats up love

The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me

I Want Your Sex

(George Michael)

Ndidi O. :

There's things that you guess
And things that you know
There's boys you can trust
And girls that you don't

There's little things you hide
And little things you show
Sometimes you think you're gonna get it
But you don't and that's just the way it goes

I swear I won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
Just look in my eyes

I've waited so long baby
Now that we're friends
Every man's got his patience
And here's where mine ends

I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want you

It's playing on my mind
It's dancing on my soul
It's taken so much time
So why don't you just let me go

I'd really like to try
Oh I'd really love to know
When you tell me you're gonna regret it
Then I tell you that I love you but you still say no

I swear I won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
Just look in my eyes

I've waited so long baby
Out in the cold
I can't take much more girl
I'm losing control

I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want you

It's natural
(let's do it)
It's chemical
(can we do it?)
It's logical
(can we do it?)
Habitual
(shall we do it?)
It's sensual
(let's do it)
But most of all
Sex is something that we should do
Sex is something for me and you

Sex is natural, sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should
Sex is natural, sex is fun
Sex is best when it's one on one

I'm not your father
I'm not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover

What's your definition of dirty baby
What do you consider pornography
Don't you know I love you till it hurts me baby
Don't you think it's time you had sex with me
Have sex with me

Come on

Thirteen

(Big Star)

Brisa Roché :

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you

Won't you tell your dad get off my back
Tell him what we said about Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you

I'm Not Like Everybody Else

(The Kinks)

Rosemary Standley :

I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I won't take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started I go to town

'Cause I'm not like everybody else
No, I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
No, I'm not like everybody else

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
I don't want to live my life like everybody else
I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Come on Dale

Darling, you know that I love you true
Do anything that you want me to
Confess all my sins like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you

Well, I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Oh, I'm not like everybody else

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
I don't want to live my life like everybody else
I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else

Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else

If you all want me to settle down
Slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you

Well, I'm not like everybody else
No, I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
No, I'm not like everybody else

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else
I don't want to live my life like everybody else
I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else

Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else

I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else

Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else

You're No Good

(Dee Dee Warwick)

Brisa Roché :

Feeling better, now that we're through
Feeling better, 'cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

I broke a heart, that's gentle and true
I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
Well, I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

I'm telling you now baby, that I'm going my way
Forget about me baby, 'cause I'm leaving this day

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

Love & Communication

(Cat Power)

Ndidi O. :

Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me

Learning more and more about less and less and less
On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
Can you memorize the scenes
They'll be different next week

Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always is

Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have
Come along for the ride you just know you should
You just know you should

Can you tell can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always, there always is

Hated to see you sad when I left
There's just no good in that but the good part was
That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out
Into the lives of the new

I want you to come along for the ride
How long will you stay for your whole life
You just know you should
You just know you should

Well, can you tell me can you tell can you tell
If there's something better
'Cause you know there always is
There always, there always is

Love and communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
You called me
And you were not hunting me
You were not hunting me

Lit Accent

You know you are so serious
And now even as a man
You still try to be good

You shut me off
While I'm still feeling curious
You wait before you talk
Making sure you mean it like you should
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Even though the moment's gone I still can feel you
When you smile it makes me want to try to heal you
Know that i could do it if you let me near you right now

If I hear your literary accent once more
You can bet we both will see my heart hit the floor
But I'd rather that than see this magic vanish somehow

My hands lost in your hair
I could feel your youth
A sweater just like mine
Another thing that made you home for me

I didn't know what to say
But what I said by kissing you was the truth
And like two crescent moons
I've found you own the perfect bones for me

Even though the moment's gone I still can feel you
When you smile it makes me wanna try to heal you
Know that I could do it if you let me near you right now

If I hear your literary accent once more
You can bet we both will see my heart hit the floor
But I'd rather that than see this magic vanish somehow

Even though the moment's gone I still can feel you
When you smile it makes me wanna try to heal you
Know that I could do it if you let me near you right now

If I hear your literary accent once more
You can bet we both will see my heart hit the floor
But I'd rather that than see this magic vanish somehow

Echo Of What I Want

When I'm in the dark
I can see your eyes
Like waves at sunrise, crystal blue
Yeah I see you

Everywhere I walk
I can hear your steps so strong
The echo of what I want
It's you beside me, you

When I'm in the dark
I can see your eyes
Like waves at sunrise, crystal blue
Yeah I see you

Everywhere I walk
I can hear your steps so strong
The echo of what I want
It's you beside me, you

When I'm in the dark
I can see your eyes
Like waves at sunrise, crystal blue
Yeah I see you

Everywhere I walk
I can hear your steps so strong
The echo of what I want
It's you beside me, you

A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waitin' right here
Until you show me that you're mine
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waitin' right here
Until you show me that you're mine

A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waiting' right here
Until you show me that you're mine
Show me that you're mine, mine

A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waiting' right here
Until you show me that you're mine

A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waiting' right here
Until you show me that you're mine

A river flows low
A fire flies high
I'm waiting' right here
Until you show me that you're mine
Show me, mine
Show me that you're mine

Night Bus

I couldn't sleep alone up north anymore
So I took the Greyhound night bus down the coast
I spent my money and on my job I shut the door
I sold the books and tapes I loved the most

I hocked the leather pants that I'd been given by a painter
In the desert from his European youth
I put on all my decisions off for later
And from Canada to Frisco I kept aching
Like a jagged broken tooth
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You got a tattoo of a sailboat with the words
"Homeward Bound" written on your arm
You said it was to me that this refers
But my hoping only led to further harm

Baby Come Over

I've got my sweat pants on and the house is a mess
I'm calling up my boy and I know it will be yes
Because baby it's true, a show can be good
But when you're natural the action is like fire on wood
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Now I'm pickin' up my phone
I'm gonna wait to take my shower
If you're free then I'll be dirtier
In just an half an hour, yeah
Oh, oh, oh yeah, uh uh, oh yeah

Baby come over, baby come over
Baby come over, baby come over

Sometimes girls wear perfume and they paint their nails
Dressed up in stilettos they can shake their tails
Now, baby I can fix up pretty and I'm not afraid to do it
But how I am when I awake should make you wanna sock it to it (to to it)

Oh yeah
Baby come over, baby come over
Baby come over, baby come over

Baby come over, baby come over
Baby come over, baby come over

Baby, baby, baby, come over

Baby come over, baby come over
Baby come over, baby come over...

Groupie

Get up off you knees
And get up on the bed
I'm not sayin' please
Do you hear what I just said
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Get up off the floor
I don't mean to tease
Show me you're worth more
Reveal your locks and keys

Don't ask me why
You're in love with a dream
I'll take all you've got
Just for one perfect free night

Get up off you knees
And get up on the bed
I'm not sayin' please
Do you hear what I just said

Stop your actin' shy
Make your body tall
You don't have to try
Just answer to the call

Don't ask me why
You're in love with a dream
I'll take all you've got
Just for one perfect free night

Every bit, every bit, every bit
Take everything you give
I'll give everything you take
Take everything you give

Don't ask me why
You're in love with a dream
I'll take all you've got
Just for one perfect free night

Don't ask me why
You're in love with a dream
I'll take all you've got
Just for one perfect free night

A Minute

Say, if there's anything you want from me today
Stay, I guess I should have let you stay
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You stared at my eyes a minute too long
I asked you if I could be your plus one

You don't want to see me again
I guess I know you've already got someone

And where we were, it isn't really where we are today
But baby, I felt you in the very sweetest way

You stared at my eyes a minute too long
I asked you if I could be your plus one

You don't want to see me again
I guess I know you've already got someone

And where we were, it isn't really where we are today
But baby, I felt you in the very sweetest way

You stared at my eyes a minute too long
I asked you if I could be your plus one

Disco

Morning Sunday
We are still hard at play
In the sheets
If only we could stay all week

I found you dancing out last night
The ass of your pants so tight
Your fingers combed through my hair
We floated through the air
We kissed inside the car
Then drove fast under the stars

Morning Sunday
We are still hard at play
In the sheets
If only we could stay all week

Oh, when I go downtown
Oh, I won't any longer wear a frown

We knew what we were there for
When my dress hit the floor
And now the early breezes blow
I hear the birds begin their show
You're even better in the light
These urges I won't fight
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Morning Sunday
We are still hard at play
In the sheets
If only we could stay all week

Oh, when I go downtown
Oh, I won't any longer wear a frown

Oh, when I go downtown
Oh, I won't any longer wear a frown

I won't any longer wear a frown
I won't any longer wear a frown
Since I met you, since I met you

You Like a Fire

Oh I need you more than I knew
More than I know what to do with, baby
So, you move me all the way through
I'm through knowing what is true, baby
Where I used the word "true" I say "maybe, maybe"
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You like a fire sweep through me
You light me up, you knock me down
Down, down

Oh I need you more than I knew
More than I know what to do with, baby
So, you move me, you move me all the way through
I'm through with knowing what's true now, baby

You like a fire sweep through me
You light me up, you knock me down
Down, down

You
Down, down, down

Oh I need you more than I knew
More than I know what to do with, baby

Each One Of Us

In your car, the windows turn to milk with our breathing
In your car, ignition's off, no one will be leaving
In your car, the music's high and we're both dreaming
In your car, my hand on your thigh, my tears are streaming

Everybody knows what's on wheels can still be home
You said you'd stay, but I know you're bound to roam
Baby, each one of us is moving
I move you, you move me
We move far and close so we'll stay free
Far and close so we'll stay free
Far and close so we'll stay free
Far and close so we'll stay free
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
In your car at night, we don't see moons or shooting stars
In your car at noon, we're afraid to be seen for who we are
In your car at dawn, you're getting home and we're apart
In your car at night, your lips on mine, parked outside of any bar
In your car, we're a silver bullet on the blackest tar

Everybody knows what's on wheels can still be home
You said you'd stay, but I know you're bound to roam
Baby, each one of us is moving
I move you, you move me
We move far and close so we'll stay free
Far and close so we'll stay free
You, you move me
We move far and close so we'll stay free
So we'll stay free
So we'll stay free
???
Each one of us is moving

Diamond Snake

Are you crawling closer baby
Don't you think I see you now
If you want me close than maybe
You should let me show you how

I can't tell if you're a golden snake
With scales of diamond light
Or if you're a coward
'Cause you refuse to stand up right
Stand up right
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Get up off your knees and please me
Get up off your knees and please me

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What you want
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What you want

Are you crawling closer baby
Don't you think I see you now
If you want me close than maybe
You should let me show you how

I can't tell if you're a golden snake
With scales of diamond light
Or if you're a coward
'Cause you refuse to stand up right
Stand up right

Get up off your knees and please me
Get up off your knees and please me

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What you want
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What you want

Walk With Me

Walk with me
I want your long legs riding black clouds
Of night time air
Let's go there
Again, again, again, again
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Talk to me
I want your soft mouth
Saying tough things as if you didn't care
But you do care, yes you do care
I know you do care

Now and then
Now and then
Now and then
Now and then

Lift me up
With your strong gaze like a shining hook
But I won't tear, I will not tear
I'll just bend, and bend, and bend...

Vinylize

You know I want you
I'll radio you
I'll video you
Until you're free
I have to have you
I'll stereo you
I'll vinylize you
Until you see

I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna wear your crown
I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna wear your crown

I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna wear your crown
I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna wear your crown

Somehow you cast a spell
Eye to eye, you rang my bell
Baby, don't you disappear
I know how to wait day or a year

But you will see your crown on me

Everybody at the party in the South
Saw me staring at your mouth
I told you then I'd make you mine
'Cause you didn't know that I don't lie

So you will see your crown on me
Yeah you'll see your crown on me

Hear me calling down the street
I'm dancing nearer on my feet
Baby, I've got the number on your door
I don't feel like waiting anymore
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Phones and bells they're not for me
Songs and tales are how I speak
I've been working just for you
But now the time for work is through

So you will see your crown on me
Yeah you'll see your crown on me

You know I want you
I'll radio you
I'll video you
Until you're free
I have to have you
I'll stereo you
I'll vinylize you
Until you see

Find Me

I'm gonna go out if I can alone tonight
Maybe if you're back in town you'll find me
You never answer me, I guess it's all right
I felt the way your eyes unbind me
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
There are rules to this I want to ignore
But my mind is all in tangles
In order for my mind to picture you
I've got to see you more
I've got to see you from all angles

You never answer me, I guess it's all right
I felt the way your eyes unbind me

Not my man

Dressing for the man that's not my man
Dancing for the man that's not my man
Dreaming for the man that's not my man
Tell me what is left to give my man

Looking for the man that's not my man
Moving for the man that's not my man
Falling for the man that's not my man
Tell me what is left to give my man

Black tie
I am so high
For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man

Black tie
I am so high
For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man

Black pants
I am a mess
For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man

Dressing for the man that's not my man
Dancing for the man that's not my man
Dreaming for the man that's not my man
Tell me what is left to give my man

Oh, black tie
I am so high
For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man

For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man
For the man, for the man, for the man, for the man
That's not my man

See how I'm burning
See how I burn
See how I'm burning
See how I burn

See how I'm burning
See how I burn
See how I'm burning
See how I burn

Don't fall

Broad black wing
Long pale hand
Meet me by screens
Before the band

Don't fall
Daddy don't fall
Don't fall
Daddy don't fall

Fly to my arms
Fly to my arms

At the long dark bar
Dance tonight
Under stars
Make my eyes bright
Again

Don't fall
Daddy don't fall
Don't fall
Daddy don't fall

Fly to my arms
Fly to my arms

Bone dry heart
'Til you come
Take me apart
Make me a new one

Don't fall
Daddy don't fall
Don't fall
Daddy don't fall

Don't fall
Daddy don't fall
Don't fall
Daddy don't fall

Fly to my heart
Fly to my heart
Fly to my heart
Fly to my heart
Again

Sugar

Sugar leaving me
Such a sad sad song

You shook me up
When I was so so strong
You shook me up and now
And now your leaving's wrong

Oh sugar's shaking me
And I'm no longer strong
So if you want to go
I want to shout "it's wrong!"

You shook me
You shook me

You pushed your leaves at me
And now my flower's torn
You pushed your leaves at me
Like a midnight storm

You tied me to your tree
And now the rains have come
My sugar's treating me
Like a smoking gun

Oh sugar's shaking me
And I'm no longer strong
So if you want to go
I want to shout "it's wrong!"

You shook me up
When I, when I was so so strong
You shook me up and now
And now your leaving's wrong
Wrong

Help me go

I don't want you kicking
Breathing, touching, walking
I don't want you pushing
Crying, doing, saying
I don't want you going
Making, thinking, breaking
I don't want you holding
leaving, working, trying
I don't want you kissing
Burning, singing, yearning
I don't want you feeling
Hoping, stealing, wanting
I don't want you "go go go go go!"
I don't want you "go go go go go!"

No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go

I don't want you looking
Breathing touching walking
I don't want you pushing
Crying, doing, going
I don't want you saying
Making, thinking, breaking
I don't want you holding
Leaving, wanting, trying
I don't want you kissing
Burning, singing

No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go
No one's gonna help me go

"Go go go go go!"
"Go go go go go!"
"Go go go go go!"
"Go go go go go!"
"Go go go!"

Give me something

I can't get ideas right
Days are soiled and nights are so bright
Pouring into thoughts the beasts
Of chaos run towards their release

I can't get my deals to fly
Rays of light they blind my eyes
In my hands a deck of cards
With numbers in confusing shards

Give me something I could like
Let me hold your candle
Give me something I could like
Oh please, please give me

Give me something I could like
Light me up another candle
Give me something I could like
Oh give me, give me

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, anything
Give me something, give me something
Anything I don't care

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, anything
Give me something, give me something
Anything I don't care

If my will's lost now
Please let me try, try again
And I'll find where my desire glows
A long black stem or a tiny gem

Don't let the frost come
Aand cover up my plot again
Let me try i'm squinting harder now
To sort through all my seeds and sand and plans, plans
Seeds and sand and plans, plans, plans
Seeds and sand and plans, plans, plans

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, anything
Give me something, give me something
Anything I don't care

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, anything
Give me something, give me something
Anything I don't care

If my will's lost now
Please let me try try again
And I'll find where my desire glows
A long black stem or a tiny gem

Don't let the frost come
And cover up my plot again
Let me try I'm squinting harder now
To sort through all my seeds and sand and plans, plans
Seeds and sand and plans, plans
Plans, seeds and sand and plans
Plans

I do wrong

I do wrong
I do wrong
I do wrong
I do wrong

How can you do right
How can you do right

I do wrong
I do wrong
I do wrong
I do wrong

How can you do so right
How can you do so right
So right
So right

I do wrong
I do wrong
I do wrong
Oh I do wrong but you do right

Hey you, you who lives with me
Hey you, you I try to see

You make me fight myself and cry
I only know a lightbulb lullabye
And you who lives with me
My silver dust is in your eyes
I beat my wings against the light

I have lost sight of the moon
I'll feel my planet moving soon
And now I hope for painful change
Moth to wolf and girl from slave

And you who lives with me
I seem to see right through
Every morning when I look for you

This late night my dear under the influence
My call can reach outside of our vigilance
I make myself stumble and fall
I say I'm dancing but no one believes me at all
No one believes me at all

Never back

When I get my hands into your thick black hair
When I get my hands into your thick black hair
When i get my hands into your thick black hair
When I get my hands into your thick black hair

Thick black hair
Thick black hair
Thick black hair
Thick black hair

Hold me down, never let me go
Hold me down, never let me go
Hold me down, never let me go
Hold me down, never let me go

When we ride our bikes into the cold night air
When we ride our bikes into the cold night air
When we ride our bikes into the cold night air
Cold night air
When we ride our bikes into the cold night air
Cold night air

Let's go fast, never back
Let's go fast, never back
Never back, never back
Never back, never back

Seven days

Keep me home and on my own
Keep me waiting for the phone
Love's a sickness in my bones
Love just makes me moan "whoa!"

Prick my vein and turn me on
Prick me 'til, 'til I'm strong
My heart says stay home
Without you fun's gone "oh!"

Seven days spent in my room
Sixteen ways you've put me down
If you've only led me on
I need now to be reborn
You're right

My life was a fire in your eyes
My thoughts were a fly in your hair alive
It might hurt but I will get better
I swear again I'll see those colors brighter

That's right I'm right
I know you don't care tonight
But I'm right that's right
I know you don't care tonight

I know, I know you don't care
I know you don't care, that's right
I know you don't care
I know you don't care, that's right
I know

Keep me home and on my own
Keep me waiting for the phone
Love's a sickness in my bones
Love just makes me moan "Oh ah!"

Prick my vein, turn me on
Prick me 'til I'm strong
My heart says stay home
Without you fun's gone "oh!"

Get you later

I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later

Right now, I need to own you
Right now, I need to move you
Right now, I need to own you
Right now, wait while I show you

I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later

Right now, I need to own you
Right now, I need to move you you
Right now, I need to own you
Right now, tell me what to do

I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later

I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later

I don't want to try to have you, I don't wanna get you later
I don't want to try to have you

So wrong you're right

Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
The car will come
Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
To take you home

This party's gone to hell
I need to ring your everything
I need to ring your bell
This party's gone to everything

Black, black, black, black night
Fast, fast, fast carlights
I'll take you out of sight
You're wrong, so wrong, so right, you're right, you're right

Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
The car will come
Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
To take you home

Black, black, black, black night
Fast, fast, fast carlights
I'll take you out of sight
You're wrong, so wrong, so right, you're right, you're right

I need to ring your everything
I need to ring your bell

Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
The car will come
Hold on, hold on, hold on for me
To take you home

This party's gone to hell
This party's gone to hell
This party's gone to hell

48

I got to you when I had turned sixteen
Your blood was running dirty
I guess you could've thought I was a dream
Never had to think of ways to prove my love
All the dangerous tests that came fit me like a glove

Forty eight, oh forty eight
Forty eight, oh forty eight
I only saw a swinging gate
My hungry heart, an empty plate

In our basement rooms we made me a bed
Trash novels under plywood, a flowered case for my head
I can see you standing naked in the kitchen by the stove
Swaying gently on your long legs, a tree far from the grove
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Forty eight, oh forty eight
Forty eight, oh forty eight
I only saw a swinging gate
My hungry heart, an empty plate

Three times my sixteen was your forty eight
I tried my best but I was too late
Three times my sixteen was your forty eight
My strongest love isn't strong enough compared to fate

Over by Greenlake, from another basement room
I shot out on my two feet, I was a rocket to the moon
Thought I could outrun your absence if I ran 'til dawn
I could run straight to Portland but I'd still feel you gone

Forty eight, oh forty eight
Forty eight, oh forty eight
Forty eight, oh forty eight
Forty eight, oh forty eight

I only saw a swinging gate
My hungry heart, an empty plate

Fuck My love

The love I have, it won't behave
Spans the sea, spans the grave
My lips of love, they sing, they rave
And at the start they make boys brave

But now, you are the one for me
So fuck my love and all its ways
And toss right down the key
Toss right down the key

The love I have is white as clowns
Is black as caves, is upside down
My eyes of love will make you think
You're drinking, while in waves you sink

But now, you are the one for me
So fuck my love and all its ways
And toss right down the key
Toss right down the key
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
My love's too big for me and you
It swallows towns, licks roads in two
My sweet caress could kill us, too
It stains the boys with its tattoo

But now, you are the one for me
So fuck my love and all its ways
And toss right down the key
Toss right down the key

Toss right down the key

Patience

Have Patience, be Prudent, oh you know
I can, I can, you know I can I can I can
Have Patience, be Prudent, oh you know
I can, I can, you know I can I can I can

Patience had an ashtray, Patience had a pen
She gave them to her drunken man
Patience had a blanket, made by hand
She lay her blanket on her sleeping man

Patience was a baker, with burns on her arms and hands
She held her hands out for her speaking man
Patience had a rainbow woven in an old afghan
She placed her rainbow on her dying man
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Beautiful Patience, all your grand plans
Vanished with the ashes of your man

Patience held a towel, Patience held a pan
She held herself together for her man
Patience slept through dark and light and her tears ran
Down her waking face, tears for her man

Beautiful Patience, all your grand plans
Vanished with the ashes of your man
Beautiful Patience, all your grand plans
Vanished with the ashes of your man

Have Patience, be Prudent, oh you know
I can, I can, you know I can I can I can
Have Patience, be Prudent, oh you know
I can, I can, you know I can I can I can

Cypress

Roll me in your arms
And let me feel you in the grass
Roll me in your arms
Under the black cypress
And laugh
Won't you let me hear your laughing voice again

Hold me in your arms
Under the big summer moon
Hold me in your arms
I hope that summer's coming soon
And laugh
Oh baby I want to hear your laughing voice again

You'll call to me
With your laughing laughing laughing voice again
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Let me feel your hair hanging over me
Let me see those stars
And feel infinity
And baby, laugh
Oh baby, let me hear your laughing laughing voice again
Oh baby, let me hear your laughing laughing laughing
Beautiful laughing voice again
We were strangers, here

Feel me in the field
With the wind blowing to sea
Feel me in the field
You'll never feel as free
As when you laugh
Oh baby, baby, baby, laugh for me

We were strangers
Now I don't know how to let you go
We were strangers
Now I want to feel you so

Roll me in your arms
And let me feel you in the grass
Roll me in your arms
Under the black cypress
And laugh
Oh baby, let me hear your laughing voice again

Engine Off

He turned the engine off and coasted in
I waited on a windowsill, my bare feet on the tin
Everyone was wide awake, but lights were dim
My gymnast arms passed plants into the darkness from within

This was not the only glamorous night
We danced to Talking Heads, three heavy birds trying to fly
Sometimes when they free-based I'd write down what they'd recite
And on yellow legal paper schemes soared high as flags and kites

Daytimes matching breathing with a sea-lion of a man
Shaking on a bed as wet as waves across the sand
And no music came from any band
And if there was a song, it is a song I wish I didn't understand
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
There are other houses I could mention
All of them had basements and a perilous intention
Stomping dirt away from roots in fever-rooms of pension
My own dreams beat steadily, the outside world held in suspension

Daytimes matching breathing with a sea-lion of a man
Shaking on a bed as wet as waves across the sand.
And no music came from any band,
And if there was a song, it is a song I wish I didn't understand

Can't Control

His hand fit all the way across my ribs
Hotter than the heat a woodfire gives
In an empty room couch cushions on the floor
lined up as a bed beside a board

I went outside and cut three grassblades down
Wide as my arm, tall as my crown
I found a peanut can and here's what I did
I splayed the blades out on my sheet
And where they met I placed the yellow lid

Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
On the radio at Sunset we aced a quiz
We ran the beach together with our answer
And my feet couldn't outrun his
From a phonebooth where a heavy perfume rained
We'd ring the station to be winners
At least that was the game

In the jungle underneath the towering jungle-king
We built our own decor, we didn't try to make sense out of anything
Weaving newsprint placements, still-lifes out of junk
Nets and tree-trunk barriers
There was Patience but I was the only one not drunk

Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control

And the native chauffeur did skip town
And the rabbi says he intervened before the mafia took us down
But then again, the rabbi is a certain kind of clown
And if I put that summer in a box
The box would be called "Lost and Found"

The next time I would see a mass of cloud-high waves
I had Patience and the comfort that she gave
But it couldn't really make things any better
Written out, then torn up, we were an essential undelivered love-letter
Love-letter, love-letter, love-letter

Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control
Trying to control what I can't control

Black Mane

Horses in lace on the window
Gallop in winds of the evening
My heart runs as well to try to keep you
You and your powerful arms that are leaving

I've put the lights behind me one by one
And the moon is burning low
The fog is cut in half by this black mane
Blown back on my way to your glow

Lanterns splash the walls with their smoke
I've made for you a trap here in the dark
I aim to fasten your body my lover
Like an eye that gets fixed upon a spark

I've put the lights behind me one by one
And the moon is burning low
The fog is cut in half by this black mane
Blown back on my way to your glow
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
I hear it now the wind, as it blows
I hear it now the wind, as it blows
I hear it now the wind, as it blows, and blows

I can't tell the pastures from the stables
Nor through which metropolis I've come
Still in this confusion I will try for you tonight
And so far, when I have fought I've always won

I've put the lights behind me one by one
And the moon is burning low
The fog is cut in half by this black mane
Blown back on my way to your glow
Back on my way to your glow

I hear it now the wind, as it blows
I hear it now the wind, as it blows
I hear it now the wind, as it blows and blows

Before I'm Gone

Hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms awhile
Before I'm gone, before I'm gone

Don't say that I belong
Don't say that I belong
Don't say that I belong to you
You know you're wrong, you know you're wrong

Instead of screaming, here's a song
Instead of screaming, here's a song
Instead of screaming, here's a song for you
I can be strong for you, I can be strong

If you're able, sing along
If you're able, sing along
If you're able, sing along with me
Sing it slowly, put your sweet voice on
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
If you're tired just keep on
If you're tired just keep on
If you're tired just keep on for me
'Cause after night, comes the dawn

Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms awhile
Before I'm gone, before I'm gone

Holy Badness

A bad man turned my father onto cocaine at the law school
That is how I knew that he was bad
Late one night I found my long hair resting on his lap
I was faking sleep with all I had

Holy holy holy badness
When you try to separate it out it leads to madness

Jim was in the liquor store, paying for supplies
Enough to last to Roseburg or Eugene
I lay in the back seat waiting silent with the villain
Each heart-beat saying he was mean
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Holy holy holy badness
When you try to separate it out it leads to madness

Then the Dutchman bent so slowly gently down
And placed a petal-kiss upon my brow
I knew then that when it comes to men
Good and evil threads are tightly bound

Holy holy holy badness
When you try to separate it out it leads to madness
Holy holy holy badness
When you try to separate it out it leads to madness
Madness

Blue Night

Oh blue sky, oh soft night
If you cry, it's alright
Now when all the world is so open
Now when all our words have been blown away

In my arms, you're reborn
No alarms, nothing torn
Now when all the world is so open,
Now when all our words have been blown away, away, away
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Breath so hard, breath so calm
Take my cards from my palm
Now when all the world is so open
Now when all our words have been blown away

Hiding here as we are
We disappear, turn into stars
Now when all the world is so open
Now when all our words have been blown away

I won't go until dawn
Kiss me slow, just hold on
Now when all the world is so open
Now when all our words have been blown away

Carnation

My man sent me down to search for sticks beside the river
forked to hold a third one over amber colored fire
My man was lying in a house of nylon as blue as water
I saw his face turn grey I saw him searching for his power

Not Wilto or Renato, Mister Berg or Mavis
No one from the drug ring came to save us
Maybe we found berries walking on a roadside shoulder
Carrying a plastic bag of groceries
One of us wouldn't get much older
Help and participate instead of copy and paste
Now I can't remember going back to Carnation
I can see my man there in a flowerless plantation
I don't need to try to use any imagination
He is swaying in a staircase covered with some kind of plastic black creation

I knew that things had gotten bad
I wasn't sure we could go back
Patience left, she had some things to pack
My man looked for the poems in his mind that he had always had

Mister TV Man he asked me how it felt to be a kid
Was I nervous about the things that the adults did
"Mister TV man, I learned that love means going" I said
"Love means going where you think you'll wind up dead
Where you think you'll wind up dead"

Trout Fishing Again

Cruising up Highway 395 from Los angeles
I've been working all week down there
Where it's so bright
Working, working, working
Seems like forever
Now there's nothing but the road to show my way
Helped by the stars and the moon and my own headlights
I don't know how far I've come, it's so hard to tell
But I'm heading for mile 395, right here on Highway 395

White mountains on the right, I can't see them
Sierras on the left, looming out there somewhere
Saw two headlights about an hour ago
Stopped at a bar where nobody stops
Driving, driving, driving.
Way on up the virgin white valley
Betwaeen the Sierras and the Whites
Saw a deer, saw a bear, thought I saw a mountain lion
Darkness of the night and my eyes are getting blurry
Darkness in seventeen waves of color
Dark shadows in my peripheral vision
Dawn is coming soon
Must be at mile 343, got to keep on going
It's so damn dark and hot in the car
My "hemi 383" is just loafing along
I'm going 95 and I know it's too fast
I want this trip to last and last
The shapes on the side of the road keep moving closer
There's no one else in sight
And I just blend with the darkness
But the sun is coming I know
John Muir is watching me go
I can't see the country, I only feel my coffee cup
The dark is changing, but I have forgotten why
A golden orb tips its beak over the White Mountains
Illuminating the Sierras, cutting my car in half
Just in time, wherever I am
Gravel under the tires, sagebrush on the road
So cold gray white I know everything is going to freeze
The big Brown trout is rising and I'll be there to greet him
If I can dodge all these shapes crossing the road
Between the dark and the light, the day and the night
I am arrived between the thighs of the mountain ridges
The water of snows and geysers trickle down the cleft
Hot and cold mixing to create
Tadpoles, frogs, mosquitos, rabbits, coyotes and trout
The Owens River flows abundantly to stagnate in Lake Crowly
Then flows down through the sliding high desert plain to L.A.
Back where I started from
Water then there nearly lifeless to quench the thirst of millions
But I amm higher up, between the thighs where life begins
The trout are rising, swimming up the Hot Creek
To convict lake, to Mammoth, to the Devil's Postpile
And beyond

Made of stars

You came from the mountains
I couldn't hardly see your eyes
You're easy in the mountains
Or under Argentina skies

I asked you what you wanted
You said "whisky or wine"
You told me your story was complicated
I said "for that take a look at mine"

You call me up girl
You call me up, like a shield
You call me up girl

You call me up like a shield
You call me up to your hill
You call me up, up, up, up

Beat Beat Beat

Broken bones beauty gets
Broken bones beg for rest
Broken laws pay the debt
Broken laws ace the test

We live, we live under the weather
We dance, we dance into the shelter
In the swollen river

I'm leaving...

Leave me alone and I'll get there fast
Dark bells toll to the East and West
Hear clean tones in my voice and my breath
I'm all his and his name is death

Beat me hollow but I'll beat beat beat
We belong to the storm and the stone
It's a game we can't cheat cheat cheat
My heart's alive even though it's alone

I'm leaving...

Beat me hollow but I'll beat beat beat
My heart's alive even though it's alone
It's a game we can't cheat cheat cheat
We belong to the storm and the stone

Beat me hollow but I'll beat beat beat
My heart's alive even though it's alone
It's a game we can't cheat cheat cheat
We belong to the storm and the stone

Broken bones beg for rest
Broken laws pay the debt
Broken laws ace the test

We live, we live under the weather
We dance, we dance into the shelter
In the swollen river

I'm leaving...

Leave me alone and I'll get there fast
Dark bells toll to the East and West
Hear clean tones in my voice and breath
I'm all his and his name is death

Beat me hollow but I'll beat beat beat
We belong to the storm and the stone
My heart's alive even though it's alone
It's a game we can't cheat cheat cheat cheat

I'm gone

This Is Not A Love Song

(Public Image Limited)

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

I'm crossing over
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
Oh, this is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into enter-prize
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

That tunnel vision-not television
Behind the curtain-out of the cupboard
You take the first train-into the big world
That tunnel vision-not television
Behind the curtain-out of the cupboard

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song...

I'll leave our life

I'll leave our life it'll make you strong
I'll leave our life and you'll get along
I'll leave our life and it won't take long
I'll leave our life like an ending song

I'll leave our life with a final gong
I'll leave our life we'll see how it goes
I'll leave our life and we all will know

I'll leave our life from its head to its toe
I'll leave our life like a fallen rose

On and on we've gone but now
I wanna see you laughing

I'll leave our life and we'll both feel tall
I'll leave our life we won't mind at all
I'll leave our life like a rolling ball
I'll leave our life I will pay the toll

I'll leave our life like a shifting dune
I'll leave our life I'm a sinking moon

I'll leave our life it'll make you strong
I'll leave our life and you'll get along
I'll leave our life and it won't take long
I'll leave your life like an ending song

I'll leave your life with a final gong
Oh we'll see how it goes
I'll leave our life and we all will know

On and on we've gone but now
I wanna see you laughing

I'll leave our life and we'll both feel tall
I'll leave our life we won't mind at all
I'll leave our life like a rolling ball
I'll leave our life I will pay the toll
I will pay the toll

Eat my air

Eat my air in a air-o-plane
See me stare and hit me
With your share of care and pain
A stranger's love just bit me

Just bit me
Just bit me

Touch my hair in a narrow lane
See me scared and teach me
Teach me how to kiss and change
And dance 'til love can reach me

Can reach me
Can reach me

Go ahead and seriously dance
Dance until you reach me
Sing, move, love
Love, love, love, love

Go ahead and seriously dance
Go ahead, go ahead and seriously dance
Dance, dance until you reach me
Love, love, love
Dance, love

Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance until you reach me
Dance, love

It's my head and vision now
It's my harem preaching
It's my life and in my hands
And in my hands don't leave me

Ghostly Arms

Somebody hit me and I don't know who it was
Somehow I'll be wrong
Somebody kissed me, now I can't stay long alone

Somebody hit me and I didn't know who it was
I'm standing right here right in front of you
And I kick and I kick and I'm gone

None of these ghosts
None of these ghosts
None of these ghosts will want me

None of these ghosts
None of these ghosts
None of these ghosts will want me

Lead me home and keep me safe from harm in your arms
Lead me home and safe from harm inside your ghostly arms
Lead me home in ghostly arms now

Nobody's gonna help me, no, nobody's gonna hear me up here
Nobody's gonna help me, no, nobody's gonna hear me up here
Nobody's gonna, nobody's gonna, nobody's gonna help me
Nobody's gonna,nobody's gonna, nobody's gonna hear me

I just wait ‘til you show me your vision and so I stay in fear right here
I just stand here and I just wait for you to be in a concrete place with me You'll come from the front or maybe you'll come from the sky or maybe, Maybe you'll wait as well, watching me wait so long I'm getting ghostly too And that's your dream I mean I'll wait so long I'll be a ghost like you
But even so I wait I wait so long, so long and I just stand here waiting
And I wait until the waiting's gone

Except For Love

Once there was a time
My body younger than my mind
Out of a tin window I climbed
And from the roof, the world was mine

My long hair hung down loose
On naked skin as white as moon
But not as thin
A virgin teen in wind outside
Above the valley open wide

I'd walk to the prow
The cabin clearly my ship now
The branches on the elder tree
Lashed back and forth like waves at sea

A moody wind came like a song
The mountain's throat ten miles long
Beneath my feet on tar and sand
The cabin roof so far from land

My writing fingers stained with ink
My eyes made more to cry than blink
A kid a fool for poetry
A kid who closed her eyes to see

The moody wind met moody me
A king and queen midnight to three
That's how I lost the limit of my human form
Except for love

Except for love
Except for love
Except for love
Except for love
Love

Except for love
Except for love

Summerelo

I know that when you wrote me
You meant what you said
But now the summer's over
My phone's as good as dead

I would rather dream of the sunshine
And lying side by side in the shade
I would rather dream your lips on mine
Than hear songs we played

I'm trying to forget
You, my friend saw you last night
She said, "I don't want to upset you
But he's on another girl's fight"

I would rather dream of the sunshine
And lying side by side in the shade
I would rather dream your lips on mine
Than hear songs we played

California Man

You sent to me a photo
Of the bed you brought from Mexico
Of sculptured wood
You know I'd be there if I could

The blanket thrown across
Was striped in red and black of course
And with the rain outside
You dream of stripes I wish I'd tried

(Some say)
Some say you're a willful driven king
(Some say)
Some say you're the American Dream
(I say)
I say you're the grown-up boy
With eyes of joy
That ough to wear my ring

My stone streets and fountains
Against your windmill, your mountains
And your carnivorous plants
Don't have a chance

You gave me honeysuckle blooms
Salmon from your basement rooms
And I left tipsy
On your brother's whisky

(Some say)
Some say you're a willful driven king
(Some say)
Some say you're the American Dream
(I say)
I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy
That ought to wear my ring (Wear my ring)

And if your devils took from me
The glasses bought in gay Paris
I only hope they wear them at their jamboree

Driving with the windows down
You pulled your cap off like a clown
On that dirt road, your cheeks became a rose

(Some say)
Some say you're a willful driven king
(Some say)
Some say you're the American Dream
(I say)
I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy
That ought to wear my ring (Wear my ring)

Howling like the wind
Beneath the moon that's fat or thin
Someday I'll walk with you
And I would tell you where I've been

And in my sleep now
In this busy town
I write songs for you
Without a sound

(Some say)
Some say you're a wilful driven king
(Some say)
Some say you're the American Dream
(I say)
I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy
That undo to wear my ring

My mind lately bears a heavy load
Up here in record-making mode
Still I don't forget you

Still I don't forget you
(California man)
California man
(California man)
California man
(California man)
California man
I will not forget you
I won't forget you

Hey Little Boy

Hey, little boy
Where are you from
Hey, little boy
Can you bring me some of your love
Your fine love

Hey, little boy
What have you done
Hey, little boy
Have you gotten in to my blood
My red blood

Hey, little boy
Out in the night
Hey, little boy
Did you take a bite of my heart
My whole heart

Hey, little boy
When will you come
Hey, little boy
Do you still want some of my love
My love

Can You Run

Once I waited for the mail to come
With letters one by one
Now I wait before the screen
And I don't know how much words mean

In my bed I know a man
With skin as smooth as ocean sand
But I'm half gone across the sea
And dreaming is my luxury
Tell me, am I still allowed to dream

You're still here
As brown and long of limb
As a deep forest deer
But can you run as fast as me

Sundays spent beneath the sun
Have vanished like the books and fun
We used to have before the little one
In our house, a love affair
From there to here and here to there
But finding us all three at once inside is rare
Finding us all three at once inside is rare

You're still here
As brown and long of limb
As a deep forest deer
But can you run as fast as me

Everybody has advice
For waking up the part of me
That's nice
Or used to be when I had time
When I had the time

You're still here
As brown and long of limb
As a deep forest deer
But can you run as fast as me

There's so many plans that I'm supposed to make
I swear I'd never take a break
But everyday that has still remained

And I guess I know it is a crime
To not imagine future time
So I wear the stripes I can't disguise
I wear the stripes I can't disguise

You're still here
As brown and long of limb
As a deep forest deer
Can you run as fast as me

And you'd think from this
That I'm a hundred
But it's just that bliss
Has gotten scarcer
Even than a lover's kiss
Has gotten scarcer
Even than a lover's kiss

Though you've heard my dumb complaint
You know that I still love to paint
And sing for you, and sing for you
And sing for you, and sing for you

You're still here
As brown and long of limb
As a deep forest deer
Can you run as fast as me

Rings

With rings on their fingers, you can see them on the train
All the boys and girls with rings on their fingers
But you, you're my secret candy-boy, baby
With lashes that blind me and bind me beside you
Bind me beside you

With the heat of your hot summer eyes
You're holding me still, thoughts have all flown
Darling, I wouldn't have tried if I'd known

Right in my sight are your sugar legs and your sugar arms
Ringless fingers hold my hand
Let's take a train with all the boys and girls, baby
Let's run out of this town

With the heat of your hot summer eyes
You're holding me still and my thoughts have all flown
Darling, I wouldn't have tried if I'd known

Secret Song

I got a secret, my friend
I got a secret again
I got a thing to make me sing by myself
When I'm lost I get found
And defeat can't get me down
I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it

It is not a burning star or a futuristic car
It's not a pill, but you know still I want to take it
It is not a little boy, but it makes me feel such joy
Like a dance that fits your pants and makes you shake it

I got a secret, my friend
I got a secret again
I got a thing to make me sing by myself
When I'm lost I get found
And defeat can't get me down
I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it

I cannot help growing old with a few stories untold
I guess I can't stop myself growing old at all
But a secret water flows and like the greenest plant that grows
I'll drink it up, I'll drink it down, I'll drink it all

I got a secret, my friend
I got a secret again
I got a thing to make me sing by myself
When I'm lost I get found
And defeat can't get me down
I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it

My secret said to me
How I wish you could get free
I told my secret I was doing all I can
I said I have too much love
I've lost my guidance from above
And, secret, don't you sure look quite like a living man

I got a secret, my friend
I got a secret again
I got a thing to make me sing by myself
When I'm lost I get found
And defeat can't get me down
I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it
I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it

I got a secret, I got a secret, I got a secret
I got a secret, I got a secret, I got a secret
And I think I'm gonna keep it

Can't Stand

Well, you can't stand standing where you are
And you can't stand up in a moving car
You fought so hard to go
You smashed your own window
And you can't stand the sun
When your rain feels like it has to flow and flow

Well, you can't stand standing where you are
And you can't stand up in a moving car
You fought so hard to go
You smashed your own window
And you can't stand the sun
When your rain feels like it has to flow and flow
Flow

Well, you lie about lying down
And the lies you tell mix your heart around
You'd like to scream the poem
About love having a home
That lasts more than a moment out of, out of bounds

I lift my cup to you tonight

Well, you lie about lying down
And the lies you tell mix your heart around
You'd like to scream the poem
About love having a home
That lasts more than a moment out of, out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds

I lift my cup to you tonight

Daughter Of A Teacher

Said the son of a teacher to the daughter of a teacher
It was like a dream to meet you
It was like a dream to meet you
Said the daughter of a teacher to the son of a teacher
I will find the words to reach you
I will find the words to reach you

In the language of the kings and queens
With grey above and toast and tea
They fell in love
They fell in love

Said the son of as teacher to the daughter of a teacher
In my car I'm gonna seat you
In my car I'm gonna seat you
Said the daughter of a teacher to the son of a teacher
You can take me to the preacher
You can take me to the preacher

In the language of the kings and queens
With grey above and toast and tea
They fell in love
They fell in love

Said the son of a teacher to the daughter of a teacher
It was like a dream to meet you
It was like a dream to meet you
Said the daughter of a teacher to the son of a teacher
I will find the words to reach you

In the language of the kings and queens
With grey above and toast and tea
They fell in love they fell in love

Said the son of a teacher to the daughter of a teacher
In my car I'm gonna seat you
In my car I'm gonna seat you
Said the daughter of a teacher to the son of a teacher
You can take me to the preacher
You can take me to the preacher

In the language of the kings and queens
With grey above and toast and tea
They fell in love
They fell in love
They fell in love

Terribly Hard

This time it's terribly hard to fly
I climb under a heavy sky
My song used to make you feel high
Too strong, now it spells sacrifice

Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud
Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun

Your eyes still make me try, it's true
Out here in the wild west
Your sighs wrap me up tight in blue
Sometimes I wish I could forget my quest

Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud
Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun

Waking up before the dawn
We just can't seem to move on
Baby, why does my life's calling rub you wrong

Mountain road after too much wine
Your hand combs back your hair
It's plain we must make up our minds
To land apart or as one somewhere

Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud
Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun
Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud
Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun

It's hard, hard this time
But my song's no crime

Tiger Song

I'm in love with a girl who's stronger than me
Yeah I'm in love with her, I've become her prey, you see
She's a full-moon blooded tiger, once I was running free
I'm in love with a girl and she's stronger than me

I'm in love with a girl who's smarter than me
Yeah I'm in love with her, now I'm doomed to jeopardy
And I would be a liar if I said the bright one's me
I'm in love with a girl and she's smarter than me

I'm in love with a girl who's faster than me
Yeah I'm in love with her, so I eat her dust and weep
She's a rapid climbing spider, just about too swift to see
I'm in love with a girl and she's faster than me

I'm in love with a girl who's stronger than me
Yeah I'm in love with her, I've become her prey, you see
She's a full-moon colored tiger, and I used to be free
I'm in love with a girl and she's stronger than me

Babe

Babe, I see you're holding yourself tight
You press your ribs down on the right
You're driving drunk again tonight
You have a cigarette and you're patting down your pockets for a light

Babe, you got a ragged pair of pants
Your face is trembling like a dance
In your belly something's climbing higher like a nest of ants
On their way to the light

It's time to rest
Babe, it's time to rest

You push yourself until you crack
I don't see how you can get back
From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing
From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything
Inside you and around you

Babe, I see why you need your wine
You are racing against time
Your spiritual ambition makes the sweat flow from your mind

Babe, can you make it with just a taste
Are you okay with all this space
You don't know it but you're full of grace
Though concentration is angry on your face

It's time to rest
Babe, it's time to rest

You push yourself until you crack
I don't see how you can get back
From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing
From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything
Inside you and around you

It's time to rest
Babe, it's time to rest
It's time to rest, babe
It's time to rest

Last Song

I'm not gonna say I need you here
Across miles miles and miles of years and tears
I won't cry your name out in a song again
I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten

Honey, you played the bass and I was writing
We were kids who'd both grown up fighting
And everything about the future was exciting
Everything, everything, everything

In the street I heard a man saying he missed his wife
I would have liked to've heard you say that once or twice
Our separate roads have shown us flame and shown us ice
And it's easy now to doubt the myth of veils and falling rice

I'm not gonna say I need you here
Across miles and miles and miles and years of tears
I won't cry your name in song again
I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten

Honey, you played the bass and I was writing
We were kids who'd both grown up fighting
Honey, you played the bass and I was writing
We were kids who'd both grown up

I'm not gonna say I need you here
Across miles and miles and miles of years and tears
I won't cry your name out in a song again
I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten

Tempted Tune (prologue)

When the feathers fly up
And the feathers float down
When we slide into sheets
Without even a sound
When the blankets fall off
And we're laughing like clown
I'm tempted to just let you stay

When the bottle of wine
Lies empty at last
And you kiss my mouth
Not too slow not too fast
When the candle has become
A thing of the past
Then I'm tempted to just let you stay

But I'm a girl on her own
I'm not the kind one can own
So I tuck myself in
And you let yourself out
And away with the wind dreams are blown

So don't ask me again, or I'll show you the door
Even though my arms say "je t'adore, je t'adore"
It's the same if you're rich
It's the same if you're poor
I am tempted to just let you stay

When the feathers fly up
And the feathers float down
When we slide into sheets
Without even a sound
When the blankets fall off
And we're laughing like clown
I'm tempted to just let you stay

Stay, stay, stay

Don't want a man

I saw you in a picture
And you sent me several words
You looked so fucking good
You looked so good it was absurd
I messaged you, you answered
"Let's write an epic poem"
And then before I knew it
You were here inside my home

Go slowly now my stranger
With your Tom Waits black eyed look
Your laptod's on the table
And your coart is on the hook

But I don't want a man
No, I don't want a man
I don't want a man
I don't want a man

You called and you were walking
But I had my headphones on
I don't feel like talking
I swear you can go on and on
Outside in the sunshine
You told me you're in love
But I'm recording songs
That you refuse to see the meaning of

I don't want a man
I don't want a man

I don't want your handsomeness
I don't want your perfume of manly love
You seem to think is sent from up above
No, I don't want to rearrange my home
Don't want to compromise
I'm happier alone, I'm happier alone

'Cause I don't want a man
No, no, no, I don't want a man
I don't want a man
I don't want a man
I don't want a man
No, no, no, no, I don't want a man

Freeze Where U R

Woman With A Star

I woke up after a night of drinking with my neighbors and friends
I remember what I said to them, I said I'd tell all the boys and men "no, no, no" again

'cause it's not the moment for veils
It's not the time for tuxedo tails
I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown
And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone

I cleaned the house and brought the bottles to the bottle bin
Feeling mean to my body, feeling both too fat and too thin
But still not afraid to tell it straight
And I'll take good care of myself, until again I'm feeling great

'Cause it's not the moment for veils
It's not the time for tuxedo tails
I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown
And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone

It's not the moment for veils
It's not the time for tuxedo tails
I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown
And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone
Always Shone

I Yove You

Lay down your head
Lay down your head
And take my time

Lay down your head
Lay down your head
Our love's no crime

Over and under the covers
Over and under the covers
Your arms take me

Blue Light

Although we're young, we're still unhappy
Waiting for a word on the screen
Our hair's undone and we don't dress snappy
And the blue light from our phones makes us mean

Facebook is fun, but it's not funny
To sacrifice a decade or two
Instead of sunshine, kisses and honey
You "like" me and I "like" you
I give thumbs up, whoopty doo

Whatsapp, Instagram, Youtube channel
You're such a hard judge from your hidden panel
Facetime, erase time, parsley sage and thyme
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Although we're young, we're still unhappy
Waiting for a word on the screen
Our hair's undone and we don't dress snappy
The blue light from our phones makes us mean
The blue light from our phones makes us mean
The blue light from our phones makes us mean

You Were Mine

Are all the roses that you gave me holy
When I hold them you are here again
Are the sheets we slept on blessed
I take my rest on them

Are the sheets we slept in blessed
I take my rest on them
To dream of when you were mine

When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime
When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime

You were mine, water was wine
You were mine, disco was a church bell chime
When you were mine, water was wine
You were mine and disco was a church bell chime

Are all the roses that you gave me holy
When I hold them you are here again
Are the sheets we slept on blessed
I take my rest on them
To dream of when you were mine

When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime
When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime

When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime
When you were mine, when water was wine
When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime

Hold, hold the memory of these sheets
Hold with me the thorny stem that never cheats

I Do Not Need Repair

So many times I am surprised
You have left again
So many times I ask
Myself if I should change

Should I change
Should I change

How many friends will say I'm broken
I should be like them
How long will I know
I do not need repair

I am happy in the rain by myself
I'm not like you
I'm breathing
Then suddenly
I'm breaking down
After a dream where I'd been found

I do not need repair
I do not need repair
I do not need repair

I'm a machine who needs her grease
But not to be policed
Or buy into consensual ideals

I am happy in the rain by myself
I'm not like you
I'm breathing
Then suddenly
I'm breaking down
After a dream where I'd been found

The Pattern

When you're near me
Raven's wings hit my heart
Make it dark
Lift it high
Lift me lightly

When you're near me
I don't know it can't be
White arms black
Beat slow
And I can't go

When you're near me
I often fall
Into the call
Of your wild hair

When you're near me
(I'm right there)
I often walk
Into the dark
(I'm right there)

You find me

Window Gun

I'm waiting for a man
I'm waiting for a man
He'll get here when he can

I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
'Cause I don't know if he has got what's mine

Maybe we'll go dancing on the moon
If dancing's what we'll do then let's go soon
Do you want to be a star
We can dance exactly where we are

I'm waiting 'til my time
I'm waiting 'til my time
I can feel it comin' 123456789

I'm waiting 'til you come
I'm waiting 'til you come
With a window cracked wide enough for my gun

Maybe we'll go dancing on the moon
If dancing's what we'll do then let's go soon
Do you want to be a star
We can dance exactly where we are

We can dance exactly where we are

Quite Clean

You said the sun's coming out
And just the shape of your sweet mouth
Got me out shooting stars that night
Got me forgetting all my fright
Forgetting all my fright
Forgetting all my fright

And if the leaves on the trees
Move so suddenly
It's in the wind of words you speak
That make me let go all I seek
Let go all I seek
Let go all I seek
Let go all I seek

There's a wave in the sky
A flook of birds they're rolling by
Pulling me to your side
They take away my tired sigh
Away my tired sigh
Away my tired sigh

A lady mountain in green
In her lap we will dream
In the shadows a stream
For washing both of us quite clean
All of us quite clean
Both of us quite clean
All of us quite clean

The Time

Baby baby I know you can see
There's something happening between you and me
l'm riding down through afternoon streets
Fast between cars where ihear the club's beat

"Man, you can talk if you try"
Make that sweet mouth or those fingers say hi
The way you walk isn't something to buy
But give me more boy my heart's going dry

Heaven in the dark, heaven in the city
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty
Make me a promise, I can take home
Make me a promise, I feel in my bones

Heaven in the dark, heaven in the city
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty
Make me a promise, I can take home
Make me a promise, I feel in my bones

Let's go back to the time when we had the time
Let's go back to the time when we had the time
How I long for the time when we took the time
Let's go back to the time when we had the time

Luxury luxury hot in your eyes
Luxury's not just a thing to despise
Tender in the ribs, tender in the breast
l'm not a person who lets things rest

You're there with your friends already high
I dance up front but my dancing's a lie
I won't let go, it's not a crime
I make my own choices don't ask me why

Heaven in the dark, heaven in the city
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty
Make me a promise, I can take home
Make me a promise, I feel in my bones

Let's go back to the time when we had the time
Let's go back to the time when we had the time
How I long for the time when we took the time
Let's go back to the time when we had the time

How I long for the time when we took the time
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty

How I long for the time when we took the time
Make me a promise, I can take home
Make me a promise, I feel in my bones

Heaven in the dark, heaven in the city
Baby in darkness that's when you're pretty
Make me a promise, I can take home
Make me a promise, I feel in my bones

Let's go back to the time when we had the time
Let's go back to the time when we had the time

Good Riddance

You told me babe your songs will never make it
Doll it's like a cake you've got to bake it
You used to be my friend

Good riddance
Good riddance
To poison that you send

And at the coffee house his vicious smile
Said my record's in the wrong style
You used to be my friend

Good riddance
Good riddance
To poison that you send

One day maybe you will hear me
Good riddance
Tell you something so sincerely
Good riddance

His eyes were smug and they did a dance
He said l'm sorry but you've missed your chance
You used to be my friend

Good riddance
Good riddance
Good riddance
Good riddance
To poison that you send

One day maybe you will hear me
Good riddance
Tell you something so sincerely
Good riddance

Waking up with Another Man

Everybody says when you cheat you'll pay
Everybody says you'll get a
Treat treat treat treat treat if you stay

Everybody says I mess it up someday
Everybody says I mess it
Up up up up up up up up up up up up up up when I play

One day I find
You're waking up with another man
One day I find
You're waking up with another man

One day I find

Everybody says

Everybody says

Up up up up up up up up up up up up up up when I play

The Night and Your Eyes

Saturday, Saturday night
Walking you home
Under bright lights
Thinking of poems I do not dare recite

Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday night

Talking 'bout, talking 'bout stars
Shining far piercing our hearts
Comets and astroids will not tear us apart

Talking 'bout, talking 'bout
Talking 'bout, talking 'bout stars

The night and your eyes have taken bites of me
The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three
But two's enough for me

Morning might, morning might come
I don't care
Just give me some
Of to what I am the opposite of numb

Morning might, morning might
Morning might, morning might come

The night and your eyes have taken bites of me
The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three
But two's enough for me
Two's enough for me

The night and your eyes have taken bites of me
The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three
But two's enough for me
Two's enough for me

Days and Days

Three days on
Then one half hour she looks away
I ask her what's wrong

She knows I
I need her full time gaze
Double shifts
For days and days and days
And days, and days, and days, and days...

In she walks
She spins around with a dancer's moves
She spins me true

Two green eyes
Above the floor I painted blue
I lay her down and lie down too
For days, and days, and days, and days...

Every day they come and go
Mostly fast but sometimes slow
And every time is a surprise
No matter how well we get to know each other
It's always different
Often challenging and never simple
Often challenging and never simple
It's never simple

I lost track of the amount of times I thought
I caught the rhythm clapping on the two and four
Or speeding up and slowing down like an orchestra
But just as often I get distracted and I'm shocked
By a piano pizzicato note on the violin
That hits as if it were a tympani or something

Dome

In the scariest room in the house
That's where I took my rest
I lined up arms around me
And to sleep Itried my best

Upon the bed I built a dome
Of snow packed dense and white
Inside I hung up tapestries
Of a castle a king and a knight

A strong brown bear stood guard at the door
And I kept as quiet as clouds
In the bear's paw an invisible sword
But my heart still beat too loud

Outside my dome the scariest room
Had a window sunk deep in the sand
At the pane the eyes of a ravenous wolf
Saw me from the face of a man

I knew if I dared a breath or a blink
Before dreams took me away
My life's pure light would become black as ink
And I wouldn't be singing today

Ego Boii

Drove outta town in fast wind and four wheels
We found the place and kicked the door with our heels
Unopened bottles and bottles of champagne
Waiting there with my name and let me tell you how it feels

When we saw peacocks under tall weepin' trees
We worried that they were a kind of police
Surveillance 2.0 you bet I'l let you know
Your feathers mean you gotta say please

Ego boy
It's your ego boy
Out to destroy
My ego boy

Come a little closer
It's a roller coaster

You draped a leg in dirty white over a chair
A man appear ed at the bottom of the stairs
And there was not a bed in sight but we weren't staying there
All night and next to you, we were light as air

Ego boy
It's your ego boy
Out to destroy
My ego boy

Ego boy
It's your ego boy
Out to destroy
My ego boy

Come a little closer
It's a roller coaster

Ego boy
It's your ego boy
Out to destroy
My ego boy

Ego boy
It's your ego boy
Out to destroy
My ego boy

Feel My Love

You can ask for a million things or more
Burn my candle, knock down my front door

Yes we can talk about it
But while we talk about it
You got to keep in mind a single golden rule

You got to feel my love

You can shake me
Yeah you can take me
You can get crazy
I'm not a baby

And we don't have to talk
If you don't want to talk
But just remember there's a single golden rule

I got to feel your love

I shine a light on you
You shine a light on me
You make me feel confused
You make me feel free

And we can fight about it
But if we fight about it
You know there'll always be a single golden rule

You got to feel my love

Sometimes I run away
Sometimes you make me stay
You get me on your train
I'm not afraid to break

But if I got to break
And if I'm gonna break
You better not forget our single golden rule

I got to fee your love

Feel my love

I Want My

If you say I want my
If you say I want my
You can get a no

It was a gun it wasn't a knife
It was a gun it wasn't a knife, no

I'm trying hard to figure out how to get a yes
I've been told it should be easy if I do my best

Baby there's a red mouth
And there's a sweet sweet hand
These will get me through
And help me understand

Building up a ladder I'm
Hammering at night
So I'll make it high

Working on a ladder yeah
Hammering a stair
So I'll make it there

I'm trying hard to figure out how to get a yes
I've been told it should be easy if I do my best

Baby there's a red mouth
And there's a sweet sweet hand
These will get me through
And help me understand

I'm trying hard to figure out how to get a yes
I've been told it should be easy if I do my best

Baby there's a red mouth
And there's a sweet sweet hand
These will get me through
And help me understand

Wine in The morning

Wine in the morning, coffee at night
A little odd for you
But to me it feels right
To me it feels right

Swimming in silk and cotton
I read inside the pools
Swimming inside my baby
I read her eyes like jewels
Her eyes like jewels

Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down
Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down

Crying when I'm happy
Dancing when I'm sad
This girl makes me smarter
She's the best I've had
The best I've had

Honey's tasting sour
Salt is tasting sweet
We make each other salty
Going towards our treat
Going towards our treat

Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down
Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down

Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down
Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down

Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down
Come on, come on let's turn it all around
Backwards forwards I'm all upside down

From Your Dream

Wake up
Put on your shirt
Wake up
Come with me outside

Come on out
Come on out
Come on out
Come on out

Lazy-head
Go get some pants
Sun's on water see them dance

Come on out
Come on out
Come on out
Come on out

Morning time
The river's cold
it calls our names through breaking light

Come on out
Come on out
Come on out
Come on out

From your dream into the light
From your dream into the light
From your dream into the light

Fluent in Silence

I'm fluent in silence

Oh, swing me down
Before I go
Oh, tear off this crown
And move me slow

I'm fluent in silence
I'm fluent in silence
I'm fluent in silence

Oh just steer me clear
Steer me close
Oh, with you near
My heart beats most

I'm fluent in silence

Oh, it's not for show, and I'll never tell

I'm fluent in silence
I'm fluent in silence
I'm fluent in silence
I'm fluent in silence

Oh, dance me low, make me yell
Oh, it's not for show, and I'll never tell

And let those eyes of emerald mirrors
Shine and shine and shine

Feed you my sweet honey

Say it, say it, say it

Say it

Shelves

Long before you moved on
I saw you in your worksuit
And your heavy heavy chains

And long before you moved on
I saw you in your worksuit
And your heavy heavy chains

In your tiny eyes I felt the night wide open
In your arms I knew that I could keep on hoping
Everybody listened to your big dark diction
You and me together made a life like fiction

In your tiny eyes I felt the night wide open
In your arms I knew that I could keep on hoping
Everybody listened to your big dark diction
You and me together made a life like fiction

It breaks my heart to feel you gone
No bright flash, no blue dawn
It breaks my heart to feel you gone
No bright flash, no blue dawn

It breaks my heart
You postured high, you postured low
in black and white, you were fast fast fast and slow
Breaks my heart to feel you gone
No bright flash, no blue dawn

You postured high, you postured low
in black and white, you were fast and slow
You can bet , I will not forget

Everyday
Still I wait
Still I wait

Just Let Go

Darling over fields and fire
I love how you take me higher

I've searched high
I've searched low
It's no crime
Just let go, just let go
Just let go, just let go
Just let go, just let go

Hello hello hey hey hello
Just let go, just let go
Hello hello hey hey hello
Just let go, just let go

It's no crime, just let go, just let go
Just let go, just let go

Hello hello hey hey hello
Just let go, just let go
Hello hello hey hey hello
Just let go, just let go
Just let go, just let go

Surface

(Feat. Second Date)

Ornella in a dream
Holds me closer
Let's me watch her
And alI ever did was try

Ornella in a dream
Puts me to sleep
Lets me surface
With kisses so deep

I breathe for
Breathing in your shadow
Far from shore
Climbing on your ladder

Take my tidy world
Turn it on its head
Shake me from my framing
Pull me into bed

Take my tidy world
Turn it on its head
Shake me from my framing
Pull me into bed

She's helping me effortlessly
She just is, she just is
She just is, she just is

You've found my bright eyes on you
You've found my ??? on you
Bring me red, bring me blue, bring me gold
Just find me bold and true

Broken Bough

I haven't seen your face
In so very many days
I haven't touched your skin
I can't begin to want it now
Or I'll fall down
A broken bough

I haven't seen your face
In so very many days
I haven't touched your skin
I can't begin to want you now
I'm falling down
A broken bough

Make Me Rise

Face down on the mat
Sunshine on my hat
This will make me rise
With the light on my black eyes

Face down in the ring
You're not what you bring
Everyone was once where you want them to be
Where you want to be
Where you want to be

Face down on the mat
The sunshine on my hat
This will make me rise
With light on my black eyes

Face down in the ring
Baby, you are not what you bring
And everyone is where you want them to be
(I haven't seen your face in so many days)
This is clear to see
You know the wind
It is the thing that'll make me rise

Stealing

Walking under an icy night
With the cutting of the stars into my heart

Oh don't you dare go again
I'll freeze into pieces, pieces, pieces
Freeze into pieces of this sky above my head

It's cold and empty,
Tonight I don't have a memory
Nothing, nothing of you to get me through the night
Tonight

Colors and shapes forming skylights
Where are you
Where are you

Colors and shapes forming skylights
Where are you
Where are you

Blickling

And when I'm older will I look back at what was
The time she took me from my youth, almost

It's morning
I dreamed of you again
It's morning
I roll over and pick my pen

We were back in the little yellow house
You know sometimes I still can dream of other men
I was running us a bath
There was fog on windows
Do you remember when

When, when I worked on you

Blickling once
All I had was feeling
But now I'm lost
Haunted by my dreaming

We were no difficult machine
When we said
Words they meant what they're supposed to mean
I knew your scientific name
You taught me how to touch your flame

It's morning
I dreamed of you again
It's morning
I'd mend it if there was something left to mend

You with the make up on your eyes
When you woke
Every time I saw you
My off-switch broke

Haunted by my dreaming

And when I'm older will I look back at what was
The time she took me from my youth almost

I worked on you
You worked me
I worked on you
You worked me

I worked on you
You worked me
I worked on you
You worked me

I worked on you
You worked me

Bside U

All night long, I have been touching you
And if it's only in my mind, it still feels good
I got a photo on my phone, still I am alone
Til tomorrow, or so you said

I lay here longer than I should
Inside I'm the wind through woods
I'm the wind through the woods, you know I am

Smoke upon the water dances
Like the dreams of you
Inside my head
And in my bed

Your hands could crush me to you
I'd be soft and in your suit
You would feel hard

Am I purring in my sleep
I got a vision of the seat
Inside your car

And if it's only in my mind
It still feels good
I got a photo on my phone
Still I am alone
Til tomorrow or so you said to me

If I lay here longer than I should
Inside I'm a stormy wind through woods
In the wintertime for you

'Cause all night long
I have been touching you, you understand

And if it's only in my mind
It still feels good, good, yeah

Smoke upon the water does a dance for you
Dreams of you inside my head, in my bed

Your hands could crush me to you
I'd be soft and in your suit you would feel hard
I've got time for you, I've got time for you
I know you'd agree, if you could see me here in my bed

I can't see you making up with me again (searching)
Days and years have passed, I have been counting them (searching)
The sky is grey and white and white and grey today (searching)
But even when it's blue, I don't have much to say, so

Alone
Sing along

Sing along
Sing, sing
Alone, along
Alone, along

Cottage

When he walked into the bar
I sat down my glass
A moment's never come like that before
To break me off
And free me from my past

When you walked into the bar
I sat down my glass
A moment's never come like that before
To break, break me off
And free me from my past

Flooding Back

Off the airplane, and onto solid ground
I can't help but feel nervousness
The first time, since weeks of waiting
And t feels like you never left
It all comes flooding back
It all comes flooding back
Memories I'd love to have
It all comes flooding back
Drifting off the map
It all comes flooding back

Beau Oui Comme Bowie

(Written by Serge Gainsbourg / Lit Accent EP)

Mâle au féminin
Légèrement fêlé
Un peu trop félin
Tu sais que tu es

Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie

Un peu d'Oscar Wilde
Un peu Dorian Gray
Quelques lueurs froides
Et un air glacé

Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie

Entre le physique
Et le figuré
C'est comme la musique
Suffit de balancer

Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie

Tout ce que tu as
C'est tout ce que je hais
Bien trop sûr de toi
Tu sais que tu es

Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie
Beau oui comme Bowie

Breakaway

(Irma Thomas cover / The Lightnin 3 / Live at Café de la Danse, 31-10-2012)

I've made my reservation
I'm leaving town tomorrow
I'll find somebody new
And there'll be no more sorrow
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

No, I'll never, never breakaway from you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I make a vow to myself
You and I are through
Nothing can change my mind
I'm sorry, I just won't do
Nothing can change my mind
But I can't follow through

I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

No I'll never, never breakaway from you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Even though you treat me bad
And many cruel words are spoken
You have got a spell on me
That just can't be broken

I take your picture down
And throw it away
There'll be no baby now
For you to call each day
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

I can't breakaway
Though you make me cry
I can't breakaway
I can't say goodbye

No, I'll never, never breakaway from you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?

(Rod Stewart cover / The Lighnin 3 / Live at Café de la Danse, 31-10-2012)

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, his heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can call my mother

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone

They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers, but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

Days Of Joy

(John Ulysses Mitchell feat. Brisa Roché and Yann Destal / Meta-Mor-Phases LP)

The storm is on its way
Just breathe and close your eyes
There's nowhere you can run
This one is coming from inside

The snake will shed its skin
And its colors multiply
As we give into release
We butterfly
We butterfly

We're brought into the storm
None other than our own
Illusions will get blown
In the raging of the storm
Of the storm

The singing of the sirens
Is ringing in my ears
I'm writing all their words down
I'm working their philosophy

Inviting us along
Deep inside of healing songs
They we may finally see
We are but swans
We are but swans

We glide out on the lake
All together wide awake
The days are long and warm
In our days of joy
Days of joy

There in the liveliness of cheers
Your mystic moons are shining clear
Right through the pearls of joyful tears
As you hold now what you hold dear
And like a lover you will linger
There at the doors before you enter
Without a veil upon your nature
Inside the sacred architecture

We glide out on the lake
All together wide awake
The days are long and warm
In our days of joy
Days of joy
Days of joy
Days of joy

Don't Give Up

(Peter Gabriel cover / Private Pepper feat. Brisa Roché)

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please, don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no one needs

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

Don't Think Twice It's All Right

(Bob Dylan cover)

Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Even if you don't know by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do some how

When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right

Ain't no use turning on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
Ain't no use turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was something you could do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right

Ain't no use calling out my name, babe
Like you never done before
Ain't no use calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more

Still I'm thinking and I'm wondering as I'm wallking way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right

So long, honey baby
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I just say fare thee well

Now I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right
Don't think twice, it's all right

Du bout des yeux

( The Chase bonus track )

Ces petits pas
Qui te suivaient
Où que tu ailles
Je les revois
Aller vers toi
Vaille que vaille

Des petits pas
Toujours feutrés
Comme à Versailles
L'espoir qu'un ??
Le coeur ???
Maille après maille

Ils trébuchaient
Se relevaient
Tracaient leurs masses
Se retrouvaient
En équilibre
Au fil des traces

Et savouraient
Le pur bonheur
Du face à face
Avec tes traces
De petits pas
Que rien n'efface

Tes yeux riaient
Je me souviens
Quand tu pleurais
Ils m'enchantaient
Me fascinaient
Me délivraient
Me révélaient
À un silence
Que rien n'efface

L'éternité
Genoux à terre
Je te l'offrais
Quand je rêvais
Que ton royaume
À moi s'ouvrait
Je veux surprendre
À chaque instant
À t'effleurer
À t'effleurer
À t'effleurer
À t'effleurer

Enjoy The Silence

(Depeche Mode cover / Brokenstra feat. Brisa Roché)

Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world
Painful to me, pierce right through me
Can't you understand, oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Here in my arms
In my arms

Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does the pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Here in my arms
In my arms

Ghost Cup

And you'll be drinking beer
Say which day

That's when I'm gonna do it
That's when I'm gonna do it

Heroes

(David Bowie / Live)

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day

I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
Just for one day

I, I can remember
(I remember)
Standing by the wall
(By the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads
(Over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
(Nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes...

How Long Has This Been Going On

(Chet Baker cover / Live on Julien Francomano's Jazz Bargain)

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on

Oh I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Little wow wow wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on

I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus must have felt
Finding another world

Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's call it four
What a break, For Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going
How long has this been going on

I'm On Fire

(Bruce Sprinsteen cover / Live on La Session Sur Le Toit)

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I can do oh no
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire
Oh oh oh I'm on fire

( With Bost & Bim )

Ooooh, Ooooh

You'll be my Jamaican boy

He said, hey sister
It's really really nice to meet ya
I just met this 5' 7" guy who's just my type
I like the way he's speakin'
His confidence is peakin'
Don't like his tight jeans but I might like what's underneath them

Jamaican boy

Take me on a trip; I'd like to go some day!
Take me down to Kingston; I'd love to see Mo-Bay!
I really want to come kick it with you

Looking for sunshine

(Yannick Berger Feat. Brisa Roché)

Oh could you kiss me darling, kiss me slowly
Kiss me honey, kiss me on my little sunshine
Let it go ...

Oh you can start by my ear, Oh yes it's here
Come on baby come, kiss me on my little sunshine
Don't wait for snow ...

Breathless I'm, feeling your skin
Therefore I'am
Because I also wish I could touch your venus
Baby, Baby I want to touch your venus
Would you be pleased
Bingo

Oh could you kiss me darling, kiss me gently
Kiss me "Oh oui" kiss me on my little sunshine
Make it slow...

Oh you can start by my chin, you now what I mean
Come on baby come, kiss me on my little sunshine
Don't miss the show...

Guess how I'm, feeling your hips
Breathless I'm, all I want is you mooving just like Elvis
Baby, baby, you moving just like Elvis
Would you be pleased
Disco

Oh could you kiss each other, kiss him slowly, kiss her gently ...
Kiss you on your little sunshine here we go

Oh you can start by his knee, oh no his ear...
Come on lovers Kiss you on your little sunshine here we go
Breathless you are, feeling your skin

Breathless you are, cause you 're finaly moving just like Elvis
Baby baby, you are reaching the venus ...
So are you pleased
Go Go

Make A Sound

(Lou Doillon cover / Sylvain feat. Brisa Roché / Houngan LP)

Oh I am weary
Oh I am torn
And I try to smile
And I swallow the thorns
How I am acid
And broken down
And I try to pretend
I'm fine on my own, on my ow, on my own

How many times
Can you stumble to the ground
And get back up
No, don't you bother, I'm fine
Oh the lights you adore
They're burning me down
And as hard as I try
I can't hold your hand, hold your hand

'Cause the chips on my shoulders
They're dragging me down
Like leaded wings
They keep me shackled to the ground
And as hard as I try
They don't lift me that high
So I'll hide at the bottom
And I'll rest for a while, for a while, for a while

Oh I am tired and blue
And I can't pretend
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
It's because of you
And the arrows they blow
They're striking me down
And as hard as I try
I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound

No, I can't make a sound
No, I can't make a sound
No, I can't make a sound
And as hard as I try
I can't make a sound
And as hard as I try
I can't make a sound, make a sound

Random Rules

(Silver Jews cover / Approaching Perfection: A Tribute To DC Berman LP)

In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection
Slowly screwing my way across Europe
They had to make a correction
Broken and smoking where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake
I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands
When they make your hands shake

I know you like to line dance
Everything so democratic and cool
But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules

I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls
Maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls
Nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed
That's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said

Yeah you look like someone
Yeah you look like someone who up and left me low
Boy, you look like someone I used to know

I know you'd like to line dance
Everything so democratic and cool
But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules

I asked the painter why the roads are colored black
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
And no highway will bring them back"
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger
But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger

No one should have two lives
Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight

No one should have two lives
Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight
To give tonight
To give tonight
To give tonight

( Saint-Germain-Des-Prés Revisité LP )

When the sun goes to rest
And birds start to nest
When shadows of evening creep
Rock me to sleep

When the daylight is gone
And darkness comes on
When people start counting sheep
Rock me to sleep

So cuddle close
And hold me tight
Rock me to and fro
Like gentle breezes in the night
Just rock me till I go to sleep in your arms
To dream of your charms
while lost in a slumber deep
Rock me to sleep

So cuddle close
And hold me tight
Rock me to and fro
Like gentle breezes in the night
Just rock me till I fall asleep in your arms
To dream of your charms
While lost in a slumber, deep
Rock me, rock me, rock me, rock me
Rock me, rock to sleep

Runaway

( Eruption cover / Live )

As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

As I walk along, I think of
The times we had together
While our hearts were young

I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
Wa wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why he ran away
And I wonder
Where he will stay
My little runaway
Run run run run runaway

I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
Wa wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why he ran away
And I wonder where he will stay
My little runaway
Run run run run runaway
Run run run run runaway
Run run run run runaway

Shake
From the sheets all the sand on your feet
In the shell that's your ear
I'll be whispering, dear; that "I want you"
Take down your hair with its sea-saltened air
With my hands on your eyes
It's a summer surprise
That I love you
There's a bottle of water
But what does it matter
There's a bottle of water
But what does it matter
I love you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Kick - from the stairs
Old books lying there
There'll be some better time
For enriching our minds
Now I want you

Tie down the shades
With the sun on your face
For I'm not looking out
There's a movie about
How I love you
There's a bottle of water
But what does it matter
There's a bottle of water
But what does it matter

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

The Tide Is High

(Blondie cover / Live at Elleadore TV)

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh no
It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait for you 'til it's my turn
'Cause I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Number one, number one
