Cat Power Lyrics Part 2, Photos, Pictures, Paroles, Letras, Text for every songs

B i o g r a p h y
(by Jason Ankeny)

Cat Power’s Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall exists on a plane somewhat different than yours or mine, as anybody who has heard her sing knows. Her voice is unlike anyone you’ve heard before, combining raw intimacy with a gruff, chalky confidence, and while any attempt to interpret her lyrics comes up short, their plain-spoken lines belie an otherwordly perspective on primal human emotions. She's abstract, but always honest and true. That awareness has caused a tidal wave of adulation for Chan from her giant fan base, one that has tripled with each new record released. They’ll go anywhere with her, trusting that it always leads to a familiar place that will never seem the same. Recorded by Adam Kasper (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam), You Are Free is Chan’s first record of original material since 1998’s Moon Pix, and she's at the apex of her talents. She's fascinated with American music, as heard through her covers of songs by Dylan, Lou Reed, Moby Grape, and traditional folk on her last release, The Covers Record, and has absorbed its history into her own. Broken down to their essentials, songs like "Good Woman," "Fool" and "Speak For Me" could have been written sixty years ago on a rural Mississippi back porch, but Chan ably personalizes the traditional so it sounds handmade for the modern day. You Are Free represents a breathing history of music as seen through the eyes of a skilled musician on her way to becoming a national heirloom.

(Written by Norman Meade)

Time is on my side
Time is on my side
You say you love me
And you want to be true
You’ll come running back
You’ll come running back
To me
Time is on my side

("Night Time" lyrics writen by Alex Chilton / "Back of Your Head" music written by Chan Marshall)

Night time let's go out and see the people
Everythin' is cool and goin' my way
People to see
Oh the people to me

When I set my eyes on you
Look like a kiddie
When you move
Oh you're so pretty
Caught a glance of your eye
You fell through the sky

Night time let's go out and see the people
Everythin' is cool and goin' my way
People to me
Oh the people to see

(Written by Chan Marshall)

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

But I don't want no heavy diamonds
No pearls to crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me

Captain has a treasure
Says I hold the key
But the old mangroves
And sweet winds blow
Songs of you and me

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

( Written by Chan Marshall )

Moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay

When I lay me down
Will you still be 'round
When they put me six feet underground
Will big bad beautiful you be 'round

'Cause everyone says they know you
Better than you know who
Everyone says they own you
And what you do

When I lay me down
Will you still be 'round
When they put you six feet underground
Will the big bad beautiful moon be 'round

Moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay

Mama take this badge off of me
'Cause I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark
Too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
'Cause I can't shoot them anymore
Black cloud is comin' down

( Peel Acres 2001 )

Good friends come on in
The party's about to begin
We can wrestle down to the floor
Throw empty bottles out the door

They'll smash and we will laugh
What a gas we have had
The light from the window
Casts our dancing shadows

Music from the back room
Is an old song we all know
Through shining eyes and smiling faces
We all sing along

(It's) been so long since I've seen you
My good friends
This memory daydream
Is good enough for me

If you were here today
We'd be getting into frisky business
Maybe some of the daydream memory

( Written by Chan Marshall )

Everything you want
I give it to you
Everything you need
I love you

Funny things
In your dreams
Can you whisper and
Talk to me
Everybody remembers the same thing

As long as he can catch
He will throw it right back
You danced all night
And left only the stars to sing

Together with you he will take everything
In your own words and walking back home
Tell everybody what's really been going on
He can sail in your dreams
When you come to you will have everything
You wear the crown
You wear the crown

Everything you want
I give it you
Everything you need
I love you

Funny things
In your dreams
Can you whisper and
Talk to me
'Cause everybody remembers the same things

Love & Communication

( Written by Chan Marshall )

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
Was looking for some special to give me some space
And I'm still playin'
Can't you hear what I'm saying

( Written by Chan Marshall )

From fur city to the the lives that we lost
And the loves that we lost
Rebel Rebel
Rebel you are
Only one

Boy with the buffalo tattoo on his arm
And with no show to play
Just a space and dirty hands
Of Jean Genet

You were spinnin' faster faster
Faster than when I came
It was a god given day

Freedom brother
Free to own brother
Let him go

From fur city to the southeastern bus station
Seems so sad
Since I can't spell sad
Don't feel bad

From fur city to the loves we lost and the lives that we lost
Rebel rebel
Rebel you are
Only one

Freedom brother
Free to own brother
Let him go

I want for you to know
I want for you to know
I want
I want
I want for you to know
I want for you to know
I want for you to know
I want
I want

(All I Have to Do Is) Dream lyrics written by Boudleaux Bryant
Blue Moon lyrics written by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart
Try A Little Tenderness lyrics written by James Campbell, Regineld Connelly and Harry M. Woods
Dream/Blue Moon/Try A Little Tenderness music written by Chan Marshall

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
And When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

O she may be weary
'Cause you know young girls
We do get weary
Things we know we never gonna get

But she's there waiting without them
Please try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
Heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

(M. Ward cover / Also on 'Transfiguration of Vincent' LP)

Went to the doctor
I said doctor please
What do you do when your true love leaves
Said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

I went to the whipper whale
I said whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said I only have one trick I got up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my father
I said daddy, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

So I went to the whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said I only have bout one trick I got up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my mother
I said mama, please
What did you do when your true love leaves
She said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

You make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

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

Better call the ships
They've been caught sailing
Better call the captain
He’s been caught stealing
Better call the porter man
He’s been caught leaving
Better call all the guys on the deck
They’ve been caught with no feeling
Better call the fisherman
'Cause they’re coming on land
Better call the head nurse
Wrap us up, to throw us in the dark
Better call with some resistance
Better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence
That way you feel nothing at all
Better call on evolution
Better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick

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

("Night Time" lyrics writen by Alex Chilton / "Back of Your Head" music written by Chan Marshall)

Night time let's go out and see the people
Everythin' is cool and goin' my way
People to see
Oh the people to me

When I set my eyes on you
When I set my eyes on you
Look like a kiddie
When you move
Oh you're so pretty
Caught a glance of your eye

Smoking, drinking, never thinking
With some men in a restaurant
Is it all you really want? no

Sophisticated lady
You miss the love you lost

Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were red
You were swinging your guitar around
'Cause they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn’t want to play

I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you

Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
And that for all that shit on stage

But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine if when they turned their backs

They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in

Just because they knew your name
Doesn’t mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don’t blame you

They never owned it
And you never ever owed it to them anyway

I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you

Smoking, drinking, never thinking
With some men in a restaurant
Is it all you really want? no

Sophisticated

Dancing, dining, diamonds shining
With some men in a restaurant
Is it all you really want? no

Sophisticated lady
I know you miss the love you lost
Long time ago
Sophisticated lady

Lord Help the Poor & Needy

( Written by Jesse Mae Hemphill )

Lord help
Send a man
In this land

Lord help
Send a man
In this land

Lord help
The workin' weary
In this land

Lord help
The workin' weary
In this land

When we all die together
And face the mornin' sun

Lord help
The workin' weary
In this land

( Lyrics written by Chan Marshall / Music written by M. Ward )
Bonus track included on Speaking for Trees bonus CD

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They knew that they loved one another
He said fuck this cabby life
She said fuck this old trailer
He said I want you for my wife

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They saw the same things at once
They shared the kind of stuff everybody dreams of
Finding out about, it's all about love

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They got a few more years to go
Gonna have some good old times
No more sad, sad bad times
It's all that they've been waiting for
Someone to knock at that door
I tell you there are some people living alone
There are some people with nowhere to go
There are some people who don't believe in love
But Willie and Rebecca prove 'em all wrong

First time I saw him he smiled at me
And the first time I saw her she was beautiful
Sixty-two plus forty-six equals one hundred and eight
Possible years they'll live long to
That's almost half of the rest of his life
That's over half for her

Willie was shot once in his mind
His cry out saved his life
The second time was through the heart
The doctor pulled the bullet from inside
He had a job to do, he thought
That's his way of life
To take that car and pick her up
To be a man for her
Broken down and cut in two
She had been married for most her life
Now she's finally free for awhile

Long enough to see this man and what he means
When he tells her that God in on his side
No matter what, and will you marry me

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They want to live a life
I wish I had a million dollars
So we could throw it all away
I wish I had a million dollars
So we could light it aflame
I wish I had one million dollars
So we could spend it every day

I'm on the same side as you
I'm just a little bit behind
And please don't bring me down
Please don't let me go
I'm looking for a new kind of thing
A place that makes my heart sing
Another question answered from above

Please don't let it worry you now
Please don't let it worry you now
I've seen inside your heart and soul
It's beautifully jacketed
An open hand and a mind to lend
There's nothing more romantic
Than a distant place behind your smile
Tells my eyes that I am coming home
Please don't bring me down
Please don't let me go

My heart is a worried thing
Memories have planted
Seeds of a field I now want to reap and sow
Maybe when i'm sixty-two, maybe when i'm forty-six
Maybe when i'm thirty maybe the next time I see you
We will have our universe for the first time, again
Rings around our sweet friendship
Will tear up in into a run
Galloping forever more until tomorrow is gone

I deeply say to you now
I deeply say to you now
I deeply say to you now
There's another question answered from above
You're the kind of friend of mine I never had
You're the kind of love I had that I never thought there was
Saint saint saint saint Augustine
Far far far away Georgie Koontz (?)
We gotta stake this thing out
We gotta laugh the whole day through
We gotta live the way that we want to

As long as God is willing, I am too
And as long as you are here, I am too
As long as he and she can forgive and love again and still love us too
You take my heart and you give it to me
You show me love i've never seen
You take my heart and give it to me

When Dylan sang Ramona in the taxi that night
I knew it right away would either be hard or be right
'Cause I'm not Ramona, and you didn't write that song
'Cause you're not Dylan, and I know we really do get along
Get along and get on with what it is you got to do
Go on get along with whome'er you choose
This is your life
But if God is willing, then I'm willing too, oh
I'll be in the front, back and side of you
Just many happily waiting for you
Saint saint saint saint saint Augustine
Far away far way Georgie Koontz (?)
You know what it is
You know what it is you got to do

A young little girl named Jennifer gave me a turquoise ring
A native sentiment of joy love and peace, I thank you for this ring
It's beautiful to me
A lady future journalist gave to me a lucky sweater to wear
Stains she had since eighteen, amazing that she did that
It would have been hard to do for me

A man named John wrote a song for me to sing
Also the most unbelievable flowers I have ever seen
He is a very good man
And he has been an even very good man to me
I hope that one day that song I will sing
Another love named Jennifer gives her care to me
A radiant heart with holy power, she believed in me
And with that gift I cry right now
But a memory of her laughing kills the beast

Another love I still love, a familiar face to me
A standing arch above my heart I've never been to reach
He's laid my head on the bed
And told me Sweet, I'm not crazy like the others say
No he's not crazy like me

This is a four hour song
And it will go on and on
A moment in time traveling on even if it is too long
I don't care
I love to share
I love to sing along
I know you do too
Feel the same way so come along
Sing your song
It's all that you have to do

I'm looking for that kind of mind
I never thought i'd find
I'm looking for that kind of love
I never thought was real
I'm looking for your heart
My dear are you
Looking for me
Please don't bring me down
Please don't let me go

With your love I have foothold
I can carry on
But please don't let me worry you now
Please don't let me worry you now
There's nothign i am saying
That could ever be made wrong
I love you, love you so
I love you so strong
Please remember your heart in me
Please remember it's not anatomically correct
Please know there's no boundary
And if God is willing to protect
Our love, a world of love
I think you'd be willing too

Where are you from
And where are you going to
We have so much to do
Where you are going is
Where you do come from
And where i will be is with you
We have so much to do
We have so much to do
We have so much to do
Hurry, hurry, hurry let's go
Hurray, hurray, things are gonna be okay
Hurry, hurry let's go
All them children are waiting
It's time and they are ready
We got so much to do
And if God is willing
We have got so much
We have got so much

( Faithless ft. Cat Power | To All New Arrivals LP )

Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes

To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace , it's a kind of peace

With the years doors have been locked and windows closed
And the things I'm sure I knew are no longer due
But I see comfort in my home, in my heart
To make a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace

And above me, if there is nothing and no one knew I really care
It's just a now, a now I prefer, not the future (and) not the past
So put the chairs to one side and let us dance
It's a strange kind of peace

It's a kind of peace, it's a strange kind of peace
It's a kind of peace

Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes

To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreaming my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreaming my life away

I love you so that I could die
I need you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream

Amazing Grace

( Dark Was The Night LP )

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry (angry?)
Amazing grace set me free
Set me free

Oh good people've been here over ten thousand years
Everyone bright as shining sun
We've got no less days to sing God's praise
From the time that we begun
It would be Grace, who will bring me safe and ???

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved every wretch just like me
Well I was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry (angry?)
Amazing grace
You know the rest

Well through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
Love continues (?) to set me free
Hmm you taught me dignity

( Sun Bonus Track )

Remember back in the days
I used to abstain
Jump across before daybreak
Back to '92 again
Drinking brew again
Never going back to school again
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Dressed in white
Running in the rain
And I never complained
Now I'm in all black
'Cause I'm stacked
With mad guilt on my back

I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name

Beat down like a freak down town
When nobody came on the bad days
How much medicine you wanna do you in
Pharmaceuticals
Coochie coochie (??)
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day
It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name

Oh Mrs., let us discuss a suitor
Get up, shut up and get out the frame
With the win-win even with material bends (?)
Let ??? call me
Confident through the whole damn game
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
I've given my name
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
I've given my name
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Breathless

( Nick Cave / Jukebox Bonus EP )

It's up in the morning
And on the downs
Little white clouds
Like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream
At the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you

Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew

Still your mind
Still your soul
For still the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you

The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
Little rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he, he's defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
And the blood in my veins
And the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you

Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew

Still your mind
Still your soul
For still the fire of your love is true
And I am breathless without you
And I am breathless without you
And I am breathless without you

Boy, you are a bully
Through the grass and the river you chase
You were cruel, you were so mean
Laughing right in my face

All the while you had my back, my best friend
I could still feel that smile on my face

Twenty-seven was a good year, the best
At the back of the bar, watching me dance in a dress
Remember that night in Paris, all those candles you lit
I could never forget

You and all the alcohol
Sleeping on the street, sleeping on a train
Looking like a crook with a cane
You'd come back home with a twist of your tongue
And a devilish smile on your face
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
When you got sick
You were through with fun and games
And now that the times have all changed
I can't find you, I can't see your face
I can't pretend I have a wish
That would put you back into place

Nothing could be done
With this young, wild son
Standing in the street with the hospital sheet
On the run from the police
That dumb girl on your arm
And that look on your face
And all those crazy things you said to me

Looking glass mirror
Looking past our fear
I used to find you running away
With a smile on your face
I used to find you running away
With a smile on my face

Everything we have to go through
With a smile on our face
Everything we now know
With a smile on our face

There must just be something that keeps it away
Must be something special that keeps you away

Stick into
Frozen meal
Touching you
Magnetic field

Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away

Clear the room
Watch them reeling
Sex is soon
But first the feeling

Out of tune
It's so ideal
Clear the room
And watch them real

Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away

The woman I love
Took from my best friend,
Some joker got lucky,
Stole her back again.

Oh she's gone
I know she won't come back
I take the last nickel I won't ever sack

When a woman gets in trouble
Everybody throws her down
Looking for her good friend
No one can't be found

You better come on
In my kitchen
Where there's got to be raining outdoors.

Wintertime's coming
It's gonna be slow
You can't make the winter babe
That's dry long soon

You better come on
In my kitchen
'Cause there's got to be raining outdoors.

Crazy

( Gnarls Barkley cover / live )

I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo and so much space

And when you're out there without care
Yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm crazy

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
All I remember is thinking I want to be like them.
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little
It looked like fun
So it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe I'm crazy

Who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you
Think you are, ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

I think you're crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Just like me...

Crying, Waiting, Hoping

( Live Rolling Stones - Buddy Holly )

Crying, waiting, hoping
That you'll come back
To the one you love
I think about it all the time

I was crying
And I was waiting
And I stoped hoping
That you'd come back to me

And if you don't come back
We will be crying
We will be waiting
And then maybe we gonna stop hoping
That you will come back
To the one you love

And you will be crying
And you will be waiting
And maybe you will stop hoping
That we come back to thee

No more crying
No more waiting
And no more hoping
That you come back to me

Dark End Of The Street

( James Carr Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

At the dark end of the street
That is where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness, to hide our wrong

You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me

I know a time has gonna take it's toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps going on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street

They gonna find us, they gonna find us
Someday they will come along
And find us along, someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me

When the daylight all goes around
And if by chance we're both
Take it in and take it down the town
But if we should we'll be for ???
And just walk on by
Oh, sweet baby please, don't you cry
Cause tonight we'll share the same dream
At the dark end of the street
You and me, you and me, you and me
At the dark end of the street

Darling said sir i love you

Sir said darling i don't love you
Now beg to me

Sir said darling
Sir said darling
Sir said oh oh no

( Live / White Stripes cover )

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
When I know you're not around
Shiny tops and soda pops
When I hear your lips make a sound
When I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
Will tell you that I'm coming home
So I think I'm gonna stick around
For a while so you're not alone
For a while so you're not alone

If you can hear a piano fall
You can hear me coming down the hall
If I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
I don't think I need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I want to give you what you give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs
Is a tiny little gift to me
It's a tiny little gift to me

I wasn't feelin' so bad till the sun went down
I had no one to to wrap my arms around
But I can tell you that

Any woman with a microphone
Can tell you what she loves the most
And if we happen to be thinkin' of love at all
Let's think of the holy ghost
Please think of the holy ghost

The problem is
For many years
I lived my life
Publicly
It's hard to find a man I trust
I really trust

And everytime I find someone I like
I gotta worry about
If it's me
That they see
'Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who were good to me
Don't judge me
Don't think me bitter
For the evil god's allowed me to see
I'm just mary, just mary, just mary
All day, all night, I'm mary
Mary, mary, m.j.b. yeah
Can't be clothes or the car i drive
They don't make the woman
M.j.b. yeah...

Dreams

(Bayerischer Rundfunk 2 FM Radio, München, Germany, Nov. 1998 | originally by Fleetwood Mac)

Well here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who are you to keep yourself down
(You're) showing me the way you have played
The way you really feel it
Listen carefully to the same old sound

Well here we go again
We see a crystal vision
We keep our visions to ourselves
(You're) showing me the way that we are wrapped up in our silly dreams
And if you listen to the same sound (then) you can sell

Cause thunder only happens when it's raining
And players only love you when you play with them
And women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know...

( Sun Bonus Track )

You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you
Somebody like you (higher)
Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Somebody like you
Somebody like you (higher)
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Higher

Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like
Somebody like you

Fortunate Son

( Creedence Clearwater Revival Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Oh they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senators son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, they really help themselves
When the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, well

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaires son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, yeah
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Oh they send you down to war, lord
And when you ask them, how much should I give
Oh they only answer more

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son
It ain't me, it aint me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

If I leave here tomorrow
Will you still remember me ?
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll never change

Last boat
Stand in a river
Muddy river
How I love her
Hawk flying
Is fooling his folly
Gas hurricanes spray
Over Heaven

Weeping willow
Is bawling the light
On fire
Humans running for cover
Wishing for life
Gripping the light
House lift up
Trees lift up
Cars intersect in the middle of the sky

Old time before
No pull
No gravity on the ground
Giving up, it's over
The world's weight is over the limit
Our bodies are exploding
As the sky spills through our mouths
All the blue blood is flowing
The cities, its contents have been ripped out
The world is gone
Did you know it would last this long
You made it to the dark, now you're gone
You are gone

Great waves
Frozen in a secret space
A great big place
Dark-spilling universe

Last boat
Stand in the river

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hang...

Old New York City is a friendly old town,
From Washington Heights to Harlem on down.
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around,
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down.

It's a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate
To Rockefeller center n' the Empire State.
Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird,
Old Mister Rockefeller never says a word.

From the country,
Livin' down in New York town

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

(Music by Hugh Martin / Lyrics by Ralph Blane)

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in golden days
Happy olden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fate allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a Merry little Christmas now

He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine

How Can I Tell You

( Cat Stevens Cover / A diamond is forever TV Commercial )

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
But I can't think of right words to say

I Can't Give You Anything But Love

( Ella Fitzgerald / Live acapella )

I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream a while. Scheme a while
We're sure to find
Happiness, and I guess
All those things you've always pined for

Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love

I feel

( Hot Boys / Jukebox Bonus EP )

I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song
I feel you don't even know how I feel
I feel if you hate me you got to get real
I feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like I could be the president
I feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
I feel you don't even know how I feel
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel

Do you feel like you could lose your life for this
Do you feel like you could fight for this
Do you feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
Do you feel the policeman I'm making you sick
Do you feel like you could be the president
feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel
I feel that they hate us, we got to get real
Got to get real, real

Nothin'
Nothin'
In the beginning
Nothing
Was really wrong
You got to know me
Just a little bit better
And then you were gone

You said you loved me
And you won't forgive me
And then you were gone

And I was so happy
I'm no longer willing to have you home
And I was so grateful
We can pick up the pieces and carry on

In the beginning
Nothin' really was ever wrong
Guess you got to know me a little bit better
'Cause then you were gone

Never doubting
Always faithful
He returns
Said he love me that he won't forgive me
And then he was gone

I'm so happy I'm no longer willing
Have him home
I'm so grateful that I can pick up the pieces
We can move along

'Cause in the beginning
Nothing really could ever be wrong
Then you get to know her just a little bit better
And then we were all gone

I'm so happy I'm no longer willing
To have him home
I'm so grateful we can pick up the pieces and move along

I Love You (Me Either)

( Duet with Karen Elson / Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited )

I love you, I love you
Yes I love you
Me either

Oh my love
Skin to skin
Like the search of a way

I go, I go and I come (I come)
Between you (you)
I go and I come
Between you
And I retain myself (myself)

I love you, I love you
Oh yes I love you

You're the wave
Me the naked island

Between me
You go and you come
Between me
Still I retain myself (myself)

I love you, I love you
Oh yes I love you
Me either

Oh my love
Skin to skin

You go, you go and you come
Between me
You go and you come

Me either

Oh my love
There is no tomorrow
Like the search of a way

I go, I go and you come
Between you
I go and I come
In between you
No don't stop, no

It Ain't Fair

( Aretha Franklin Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

People all around me
But I don't even have a friend
Lord knows I keep trying
And He knows I just can't win
Everything I try to do
Seems to turn out wrong
Sometimes I wish
I never been born
It's a long, long time ???
??? all the time ???

Some people get lucky
They live the life of love and play
Lord knows I got to struggle me ???
All these ???
I believe I can get it
Cause my friend won't let me stop
Talking about Jesus, Jesus
Talking about Jesus, Jesus
Until ???

It's Alright To Fail

( The Hottest State - Soundtrack )

Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail

Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice from your throat
Oh, baby, it's alright to fail

Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me

Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you've got something to say
Oh, baby, please don't let me down

Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me

The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail
Oh, baby, it's alright to fail

Be my boy, be my boy
Be my boy, be my boy

Be my boy, be my boy
Be my boy, be my boy

I've been thinking about those things you said
I've been thinking about those things we did
I've been thinking about those things you do
I've been thinking about those things you made me do too

Be my boy, be my boy
Be my boy, be my boy

I was hypnotized
By your fairy eyes
Like a tiger in the dark
You were hungry from the start

Be my boy, be my boy
Be my boy, be my boy

Diamonds, candy pills

Losing you

I've Been Loving You Too Long

( Otis Redding Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now, no

There were time
and your love is growing cold
Can't stop now
As our affair grows old

I've been loving you too long
I just can't stop, oh

With you my life
Life has been so wonderful
I just don't wanna stop now, oh, oh, oh
I can't, I can't, I can't
And I'm down on my knees for you
I just can't

I've been loving you
A little too long
I just don't want to stop, oh

I've been loving you
I've been loving you too long
I can't seem to stop myself
I can't seem to hold myself up on my ??
I love, I love
I love you

You've crushed the resistence before it's begun
Silenced the voices who've dared to confront
Laying your hands upon all that you rule
Becoming the man who you overtrew
Now you better watch out
'Cause johnny's got a gun

You've got all the armies
You've got all the arms
You've got all the armories
The harbor's blockaded, the streets barricaded
Every thought is under lock and key
There's an idea rising that you can't detect
From the same poor souls you say you protect
There's a violent burning hatred in every mothers son
You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun

You've anchored your warships
Cleared all the airstrips
Readied the seeds to decay
Stolen the youth to fill ranks in your troops
Keeping rebellion at bay
The fathers before you who now line the graves
Are being remembered before it's too late
And their sons you call rebels are coming one
You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun

The hour's upon you, the past will soon haunt you
Yesterday becomes today
The helpless, the hopeless, the lost ones, the homeless
The weak can afford to be brave
There's only much a poor man can take
Before he no longer fears making mistakes
If dying's the answer, then dying be done
You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun

They've come from the country
They've come from the country
They've come from the country
They've come from the country
The city and shore
They've come from the wind and the rain
The come from the fires who's ashes are cold
They come from the desert and snow
They fear they'll be dying but more than that fear
The cries of oppression that no ears can hear
Until every last rebel surrenders or runs
'Cause johnny's got a gun

( Sun Version - Bonus Track)

If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
I want to read again and again and again
Would I be in your novel
Would I begin and end in it

If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe, believe me
I, I dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore, anymore

Oh what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life

I need your love more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone

Like I kiss and touch your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh what a fuss when the king trades

Oh love, my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
Need your love more than you'll ever know

You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
Till your well is gone
When your well is gone

Apple the sailor girl
She lived in a cabbage world
Along came Annie she pinched her fanny
Apple the sailor girl

Billy was an alley cat
Alone and so afraid
Along came tweety and there he stayed
Eating fish bones from the old fish tray

Billy lived happily ever after
Every single day
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy billy billy so silly
Billy and tweety

Making believe

( Jimmie Work - Live 2006 )

Making believe
I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you
And making believe

Making believe
My plans for the future
Will never come true
What else can I do

Can't hold you close
When you're not with me
You're somebody's love
You'll never be mine, mine

Making believe
I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you
And making believe

My plans for the future
They will never come true
Making believe
What else can I do

Can't hold you close
When you're not with me
You're somebody's love
You'll never be mine

Well a woman like me
I want a man like you
Well a woman like me
I want a man like you...

Mr. Soul

( Neil Young Cover / [live at Prospect Park 26-06-2004 )

Oh, hello Mr. Soul
I dropped by
To pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head
Is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face
Could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change
But a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown
When the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan
who said I upset her
Any girl in the world
could have easily known me better
She said, you're strange
But don't change and I let her

In a while will the smile on my face
In a while will the smile on my face
Turn to plaster
Stick around while the clown who is sick
Does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face
Is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change
I don't know why don't you ask her

Naked, If I Want To

( Moby Grape / Jukebox Bonus EP )

Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I flop fireworks on the fourth
Of every single July

Can I buy an amplifier
On time, my time
My sweet time

Well I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die
And I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die

And would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
And can I flop fireworks on the fourth
Of every single July
Can I buy an aeroplane like the rolling stones
We're high in all the blue sky

Well I ain't got no mercy
I say what I want this time
And I ain't got no mercy
I will pay you after I die
Die, die, die

I know you have a fucked up life
Growing up in a stupid town
Your mother was a mixed up jerk
And your father he just fucked around
A little too much for his own good
I'd kill the bastard if I could
I'd kill all the boys with their fucked up noise
And all the bullshit they seem to enjoy

The kids at school
Called you slut
Nothing but
And what the fuck are they into
The stupid fools
Losers assholes suck all the luck
Out of the world the world for you
If I can get it back to you I will
And kick their asses all over town
All over town I'll turn it over

What's it like
Going out
And no one knows what you're about
Abused and used and cut in two
By hollow man with nothing to do

They fucked your head up
That's for sure
Your heart is ripped now wrapped in fur
But you know that sex is pretty insane
And magic seems to kill the pain
And the things that go on inside your brain
Makes you seem to think that you're to blame
Don't think about it
Throw it out
Love 'em all and say it loud
Fight the scumbags that slap you around
Scream your crazy lost and found
We don't have to tell you what is right
We have all the faith that it was not right

Sadness is and sadness was
And sadness will always be because
Comfort comes around from the strangest of men

I got no time for sad songs baby
Don't need you to say I'm crazy
Stick your tongue and you look at me
And I will bite it off you see
Push you down onto your knees
Do you laugh away the flees

You're not the only one in town
But you're the only one that's got me down
A psychic hearts go out to you
A psychic heart go round to you

My prayer to you
Is that you do all the things you set out to do
And live your life the way you love
But will you remember one thing for me
I will always love you
I will always love you

Remember me

( Otis Redding - Emusic session EP )

Remember me
Don't ever forget me, child
We are all only here
Just for a little while

You remember that guy
That guy you were dating
He broke your heart
And then just walked away

Yes, you did now

You remember when you were sick
You were crippled and you were lame
I stood by your bedside
'Til you were on your feet again

Yes, I did now

You were tired
And you wanted to be free
I need someone
To stand just right by me

All day and all night
Again and again and again
I can't stop now
hmm

With you my life, my life
Has been so wonderful
I need your love
I need you to hold
All day and all night

Remember me
Don't ever forget me child
We are all only here
Just for a little while
Please, please, remember me

(M. Ward cover / 'Transfiguration of Vincent' LP)

Went to the doctor
I said doctor please
What do you do when your true love leaves
Said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

So I went to the whipper whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said I only have one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my papa
I said papa, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

So I went to the whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said I only have bout one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til she comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my mama
I said mama, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

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

Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down

Weighted Down (The Prison Song) lyrics written by Skip Spence
Schizophrenia lyrics written by Thurston Moore
Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down music written by Chan Marshall

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says "Jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin"
She was half crazy and out of her mind

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come

Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
"I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home"

Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.

I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
It was red

I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return

The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples

For us

She's Got You

( Patsy Cline / Jukebox Bonus EP )

I got your picture
You give to me
And it still looks the same
From when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
Is I've got your picture
She's got you

I've got your memory
Or has it got me
I really don't know
But I know you won't let me be

I've got the records
We used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records
She's got you

I've got his memories
Or has they got me
I really don't know
Well I know it won't let me be

I've got your class ring
You gave to me
And it still shines the way
Whe you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
But she's got you

I've got his memories
Or has they got me
I really don't know
Well I know it won't let me be
She's got you

Walking through woods in the streets every nights
I walked into people who walk too close
Into each other they're hanging so bright
I am told as a mother you may remember her

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around

Ah ah ah!

In the name of the father but never the ghost
Me I need the money for those just as hard
Who hung he said for the laidies I'll pretend That he did

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around

If there ever was a religious figure
In my age it don't count to have butter cup house

Silent machine is here to make sure
To put on your light and then turn around
You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie

Ah ah ah!

Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again

( Bob Dylan Cover / I'm not there OST )

Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk

And the ladies treat him kindly
And furnish him with tape,
But deep inside his heart
I know I can't escape

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some French girl
Who says she knows him well

And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine

And he said, "Oh, I didn't know that,
But then again, there's only one I've met
And he just smoked my eyelids
And punched my cigarette."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked

But me, I expected it to happen
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the senator came down here
Showing everyone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son

And me, I nearly got busted
And wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest

But he cursed me when I proved it to him
Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide
You see, you're just like me
I hope you're satisfied."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the rainman gave me two cures
Then he said, "Jump right in."
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin

And like a fool I mixed them
And it strangled up my mind
And now people just get uglier
And I have no sense of time

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon
And he says, "Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
And she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you really want."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb
They all fall there so perfectly
It all seems so well timed

And here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Here comes the ocean
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Oh there's a hollow hair
Part of a figure head
All over your head
It nearly drive me crazy
Here comes the ocean
I am a lazy son
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
It nearly drive me crazy

When the leopard
And the lamb
Sleeping hand in hand

Hey come outside
Let's make a memory
Hey step outside
Let's make a memory

When the leopard
And the lamb
Sleeping hand in hand

With the cold wind
Blowing
There's no way of knowing
Just where we're going

When the leopard
And the lamb
Sleeping hand in hand

( Michael Hurley / Live)

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a steppin' along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

You can hear his long holler from away 'cross the moor
That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feelin' poor

He goes out in the evenin' when the bats 're on the wing
An' he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing

For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
'Cause the werewolf he is someone
Just like you an' me

Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin'
All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin'

Cryin' nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths
Cryin' nobody, nobody, knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again

When I see that moon movin' through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feelin' an' I wonder why

Oh the werewolf, Oh the werewolf
Comes travelin' along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an' not hate
'Cause the werewolf might be someone that you've known of late

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes travelin' along
He don't even crush the leaves
Where he's been gone

Tonight You Belong to Me

( Words & Music by Billy Rose & Lee David, 1926 / Eddie Vedder 'ukele songs')

I know you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me

Although we're apart
You're part of my heart
But tonight you belong to me

Way down
By the stream
How sweet
It will seem
Once more
Just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
But tonight you belong to me

Tracks of My Tears

( Smokey Robinson & the Miracles cover - Live 2006 )

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

Since you left me if you see me with another boy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he may be cute
He's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

( Peel Acres 2001 )

Want to rule the outlands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

I don't want no heavy dogmas
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me

The captain has a treasure
(he) says I hold the key
Only roses swim and blossom to you and me

Want to rule the outlands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

Every time you're up and gone
I'll be up and gone
Just as long as I can

Every time he be up and gone
He be up and gone
Just as long as you tell me

Want to rule the outlands
And I want to rule the sea
But if he's not coming back
I will sleep eternally

Chan Marshall : Just like witches at black masses
Wayne Coyne : Evil minds that plot destruction
Chan Marshall : Sorcerers of death's construction

Wayne Coyne : In the fields the bodies burnin'
Chan Marshall : As the war machines keep turnin'
Wayne Coyne : Death and hatred to mankind
Chan Marshall : Poisoning their brainwashed minds

Wayne Coyne :
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Yeah!

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wayne Coyne & Chan Marshall : Wait till their judgement day comes
Chan Marshall : Yeah!

Wayne Coyne : Now the darkened world starts turnin'
Chan Marshall : As shit and the bodies burn

Wayne Coyne : Begging mercies for their sins
Chan Marshall : Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!

There are no castrations here
In a chair you will be with me

We dance, we dance
No-one will dance
With us

Jump, jump, jump, sing ...

They got some brazilian nuts
For your engagements
Check that expiration date, man
It's later than you think

You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself

Maybe we could dance together
Maybe we could dance together
But you know no-one will dance with us
You know no-one dares to dance with us

This time i see you
There will be
Fine times for ever
And you'll never get lost

Who Knows Where the Time Goes

( Fairport Convention Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

Sad, deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
But I am not alone
While my love is here

Who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes

Sad, deserted streets
Your fickle friends are leaving
But I still count the time
When my love was here

Who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes

Across the morning sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go

Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no, I have no thought of time
No, of time

( Bonnie Prince Billy cover / Live )

Loves a soul
That I have never been
A dog among dogs
A woman among men
And every night
When I come home to him
He holds a phantom
He kisses and he hugs her
And I am not
Averse to how he loves her
Why can't I be
Loved as what I am

A wolf among wolves and not as a woman
Among men

He craves a home
That he can go in
A darkened cave
I have never seen
Not in my life
And not even in my dreams

Why can't I be loved
As what I am

A wolf among wolves and not as a woman
Among men

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realised what you gotta do
And I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realised what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're a wonderwall

Ye Auld Triangle

( The Pogues Cover / Dark end of the street EP )

A hungry feeling, came over me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh to start the morning with the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

The screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal

In the women's prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
