Described by Joan Wasser as "punk rock R&B" and "American soul music," Joan as Police Woman combine two of the biggest influences on her music: classic soul such as Al Green and Nina Simone and the rougher experimental sounds of Sonic Youth and Bad Brains. The mix never sounds contrived, thanks to the intuitive interplay of Wasser's vocals, violins, and guitar, Rainy Orteca's bass, and Ben Perowsky's percussion in the first version of the group. Later, Wasser employed a varied cast of collaborators. Wasser, who has played with everyone from the Scissor Sisters to Lou Reed, began playing violin at age eight while attending grade school in Norwalk, Connecticut. At Boston University, she studied violin with Yuri Mazurkevich and also played with the Boston University Symphony Orchestra, and expanded her horizons to rock with local acts including Hot Trix (which featured Autoclave member and Helium founder Mary Timony) and the Dambuilders, which went on to national success. Wasser also played with Timony and Shudder to Think's Nathan Larson in Mind Science of the Mind, which released their self-titled album in 1996. The following year, the Dambuilders disbanded and Wasser's boyfriend, Jeff Buckley, accidentally drowned in Memphis, Tennessee. Wasser kept on making music, collaborating with the Grifters' Dave Shouse and Buckley's former guitarist Michael Tighe in Those Bastard Souls in the late '90s, and then with Tighe in Black Beetle, which folded in the early 2000s. Joan as Police Woman Along with working as a violinist for hire with artists as diverse as Sheryl Crow, Hal Willner, Rufus Wainwright, and Antony and the Johnsons, Wasser developed her own songwriting, and formed Joan as Police Woman in 2002. The band released its first single, My Gurl, early in 2003, and self-released the Joan as Police Woman EP in 2004. Joan as Police Woman signed to the British label Reveal, which issued their full-length debut, Real Life, in summer 2006, along with the Eternal Flame, Christobel, and The Ride singles. Real Life was released in the U.S. in summer 2007. To Survive, which featured a cameo by Rufus Wainwright, followed in 2008. For 2011's The Deep Field, Wasser reteamed with Bryce Goggin, co-producer of Real Life, and took a happier, more upbeat approach. This uplifting feeling continued on 2014's The Classic, which channeled the feel of vintage soul albums in its often-joyous songs.

Real Life
Real life I freeze my hands as I close the door To wait in line so I can wait some more And it's true what they say about love Yes it's true what they say about life And I'm taking it for all it's worth I watch the numbers register on the postal scale I think of your hands and calculate How a man, desired, feels the weight of a letter It's true what they say about me That I'm out of my mind but I think that you like it So take the chance Be reckless with me 'Cause I'm real life And you're real life And we're real life We're real life Is it pleasing Six hundred thousand miles and all this solitude I know what is pleasing What I'll find beneath your new pair of glasses I've never included a name in a song But I'm changing my ways for you Jonathan I need you to know I need you to know That I'm real life Eternal flame Yes I wanna have it Yes yes I wanna have you now But I can't be the lighter I can't be the lighter I wanna go there Yes yes I wanna show you how But I can't be the lighter I can't be the lighter Just in case you never knew I can't be the lighter Of your eternal flame Oh!

Christobel When the moment arrives You know I will be waiting Kicking into survival The seas of life divide It might seem to appear That I am dead already I left it all on the ground At your feet Yes Christobel (gone away) Christobel (gone away) Why won''t you just fall in love With me? Christobel (gone away) Let the temperature rise The birds of prey are mating And with you by my side The instinct is alive It might seem to appear That I am dead already I left all at your feet On the ground Before I died Yes Christobel (gone away) Christobel (gone away) Why won''t you just fall in love With me? Christobel (gone away) Yes Christobel (gone away) Christobel (gone away) Why won''t you just fall in love With me Christobel (gone away) Save me I don't want to live for tomorrow Save me I don't want to live for tomorrow Save me I don't want to live for tomorrow I don't want to live for the dying chance If you're already good as gone If you're already good as gone I don't want to live for another Take me I don't want to live for another Take me I don't want to live for another I don't want to live for the dying chance If you're already good as gone If you're already good as gone 'Cause we live under the common tree But I'll learn to leave us there With all the fruit Still searching (still searching) Still looking in your eyes For a sign I need to know I don't want to wait any longer Race me I don't want to wait any longer Erase me I don't want to wait any longer I don't want to wish and hope and pray If you're already good as gone If you're already good as gone Anyone I won't cry Anyone would rather Shift their eyes Than open up their leather But you, you seem to be the one So try me please I'm a better dancer Than it seems The lightest floating feather Is how I feel when I'm with you So now that I know you I'm ready to show you How good I feel 'Cause anyone can see through me But you're not anyone Blaring car horns howl Through feedback from this city But I don't hear it now, The chaos that surrounds me No, you, you hold my mind's desire You give me shelter From all that's done un-pretty My sold-out, felt-up Retreated little secrets Are tucked inside the warmth of you So now that I know you I'm ready to show you How good I feel 'Cause anyone can see through me But you're not anyone It's been a long time a long time I've walked alone, I've warmed to it But now I slip right in I'm ready to start to be ready So hold me now You who came in pieces 'Cause I like whole pies Underdone a little But I feel how you burn inside So now that I know you I'm so ready to show you How good I feel 'Cause anyone can see through me But you're not anyone Anyone can see through me But you're not anyone Anyone can see through me But you're not anyone We don't own it You will know by the way That he cuts his eyes Looks away from the door That walked in you You will know it will go Down in history How sweet he was to you And all the others So hand it over Cause we don't own it It's in the mystery Our silent fantasy Cause i Nor you Could ever Know what it's like To have the night fall And be felled by the night No, we don't own it All you know is the way That he made you feel He made you feel safe enough To feel at all It's all there in the moment You understood That he's not going on And you're still going on So hand it over Cause we don't own it It's in the mystery Our silent fantasy Cause I Nor you Could ever Know what it's like To have the night fall And be felled by the night No, we don't own it It's his story Our subtle jealousy Cause i Nor you Could ever Know what it's like To have the night fall And be felled by the night No, we don't own it
To Survive
*** Thanx a lot to Robert for these lyrics ***
Honor wishes Would you hold me tonight Would you stay with me anyway Would you love me and not my need to be loved Would you honor my wishes Would you trust me Do you really want to In the garden of delight Will it be my bloom that still excites you And would you honor my wishes Will we ever meet again In the house where we started Will I feel the suede of your skin As you move to turn off the light Would you honor my wishes Holiday Little did I know You're my holiday The place where I escape To forget about how I don't see you enough To displace the rage Defuse the urge To throw it all away And become your slave I'll take you holiday Let's go holiday This is not a dark thought Not from one who needs constant reassurance You give me the sword and the power To slay who I like And to be who I like And I will be the one for you, holiday Yes I will be the one for you, holiday Where do the arrows point To my holiday Where do I feel the sun In my holiday Where does my heart start to beat At the bridge to your eyes At the path to your scars At the sway of your diamond black ocean I feel this serene When I let myself go And give up all control And my worn-out desire To be free
To be loved
I'm so happy to be loved Throw me down and light me there 'Cause I'm an awful mess I haven't a care We're eternity Oh I feel the sigh on Every breath that's met us here This night dreams fantastic And it's ours my dear And you love me too How on earth could you have found me Huddled under grapes of wrath I will never know but forever ask How I got so lucky All this time proceeding Silent in processional The words they escape me through my singing cage Of how I love you too It's safe to be alone And be lonely But I found a gun With no safety And I am going to shoot down My ghost town completely 'Cause I know there's a place for us I made it, I made it I am through with sharing all my love I have outgrown crowding up my house When you found me, I could not be loved But then I found me and I'm happy to be loved
To be lonely
This is the one I will try This is the one I will try This is the one I will try To be lonely with This is the one I just know it This is the one I want to show it This is the one I will die for To be lonely To be lonely with Anything for you Anything I'd do Shameless I'll brave the night alone The darkened sky Uncertain skies I'll make it through It's a wondrous night Protect me, night I'll make it through This is the one I will try This is the one I will try This is the one I will try To be lonely with This is the one I just know it This is the one I want to show it This is the one I will die for To be lonely To be lonely with
Magpies
I feel us burning infinite alright 'Cause I have been waiting all my life To hear the words you say Tonight I'm born again I feel an ease inside my heart alright How do you feel How does it feel to be inspired Water from a stone Indeed I'm born again I am new again And I feel alive For the first time I must make you my wife 'Cause I've lived too long Already gone In this life I have you It's in the turning of your weathervane You trust the wind to guide you to the place Where you belong, it's where I belong In your face I see my life unfolding But we have so many fears Let's gather them today And let them fly away With the magpies Yes I love you With the fire of my namesake Didn't live too long Seventeen and gone But what I learned from St. Joan Is heed to the voice in your heart In this life, in this life I'll cross time I'll break the hourglass If the pink smoke cloud will bring me To the back of your car 'Cause we make the fire work Just listen to the sound I never knew this could be true But now I've got you here Along with me now to say In this life, I have you Yes I see your eyes They're gazing in me, could it be The real life, you have me
The start of my heart
You changed me You chained me down And taught me The damage I've done (damage I've done) Can show me The way to my heart Sing, sing out my love 'Cause I've been here before And silence Don't get you a thing (no it don't get you a thing) I learned this On the way to my heart It was with you Rivington deep september We took the long way And your hand Led me home Like Orion You woke my heart With your northern lights With your song Yes you, you slay me Origami dog I wonder if you'll do it again (please do it again) I'll thank you from the deep of my heart I'll thank you for the start of my heart
Hard white wall
I'm watching you become a man Well how does it feel to be living This wild enchanting dragon-whipping You stepped into my better life Without a seam out of place and I wondered When you'd struggle from your neatly pleated covers 'Cause I saw you in my life in the end For better or best You would be my man I wanna throw you up against the hard white wall And make you mine, and make you mine But there is time I must be gentle with This rare chance-taking wonder-child Make it through the jungle And I'll meet you on the other side 'Cause there was magic in our dancing tonight For better or best You would be my man Man don't you want to dance To the swing of the bach courante To the sway of the leaving trains To the swish of your lash, I cry To the soar of the shadows To the hustle of chance To the mystery in our hands 'Cause you've been moving Through my wintery night for a long time And snow has fallen at our feet We watched the tracks of blood disappear And you, you, you You stood by me So are we go on leaving nothing behind Leaving nothing behind You would be my man The hard white wall Up against the hard white wall You're my hard white wall Furious Why don't you save your soul Let loose your dogs of war Abandon your done capital Burn all your flags and hold onto Hold onto nothing And the stones in your stomach Become a part of the sea And the mark that your footprint leaves In the sand starts to lighten And finally whispers Whispers "I am gone" Don't wait for the last page Don't wait for your final breath Don't wait for the pendulum to drop It swings so low today Don't wait, don't wait for nothing And you'll wrap up the tears Of forty thousand gone Who wish they'd acted out When they had time And they had voice To tempt the furies The furies are not gone Are you not furious Are you not furious Are you not furious Are you not furious Furious Wait for, wait for, for what Wait for, wait for, for what Are you not furious Are you not furious, enough Are you not furious Are you not furious To survive
Sleep now, little one I'll sing to you, little one There's no one here Who means you any harm Little one I know what it means to be sad It never goes So learn to hold it close As a friend 'Cause we never know How much we can take Before we break The spell in our haunted house I've never felt alone Like I do now, this moment I don't belong here at all Must find the spark to go on Little one 'Cause I owe it to us To tend the fire And fend off fear The fear in me So near to me It never goes So learn to let it in Like the rain 'Cause we never know How much we can take Before the storm breaks The storm of our wild design I've never felt this way Or maybe I do everyday What is this gift to be alive Must find the spark The spark to survive
To America
Is it right my love, is it right Are you happy inside your eyes Can't you see your lover Fall apart in her silk threads In time the hunter will find the trail of blood I see you alone tonight When will you tear down Love will save you Try not to starve yourself of love Feed your hunger Is it right, my love, is it right It's a question with no reply I am sure of longing to be on the open sea To feel the comfort of the mist upon my cheek No I'm not crying Lose me in your memory Turn your head Let me become a part of it Let me become a part of it To America, America Alone, alone, alarm alive To America, America Alone, alone, alarm alive I am the hunter And I am the hunted Alone, alone, alarm alive Two marigolds We're marigolds Alone, alone, alarm alive

Getting dizzy, sitting around Sacred trickster in another tight sound Getting dizzy, sitting around Sacred trickster in another tight sound Getting dizzy, sitting around Sacred trickster in another tight sound Getting dizzy, sitting around Sacred trickster in another tight sound Sweet Thing (David Bowie cover) It's safe in the city to love in a doorway To wrangle some screens from the door And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger Like a portrait in flesh who trails on a leash Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely So I'll break up my room and yawn and I Run to the centre of things Where the knowing one says Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing I'm glad that you're older than me Makes me feel important and free Does that make you smile, isn't that me I'm in your way and I'll steal every moment If this trade is a curse, then I'll bless you And turn to the crossroads of Hamburg, as in Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain Do you think that your face looks the same Then let it be, it's all I ever wanted It's a street with a deal and a taste It's got claws, it's got me, it's got you Keeper Of The Flame (Nina Simone cover) I'm the keeper of the flame My torch of love lights his name Ask no pity about my shame I'm the keeper of the flame Played with fire and I was burned Gave a heart but I was spurned All this time how I have yearned Just to have my love returned Years have passed by And the spark still remains True love can't die It smolders in flames When the fire is burning out And the angels call my name Dying love will leave no doubt That I'm the keeper of the flame Years have passed by And the spark still remains True love, true love can't die It smolders in flames When the fire is burning out And the angels call my name Dying love will leave no doubt That I'm the keeper of the flame Dying love will leave no doubt That I'm the keeper of the flame I'm the keeper of the flame

*** Thanx a lot to Jeremy for these lyrics ***
Nervous
I want you to fall in love with me Can't tell you what's come undone in me I just want your love I want it now I want your face inside of my mind I need you to know I need to be worshipped Like any other queen around What's different about you Fits like a glove But please ready yourself ‘Cause I don't come with a manual No, I lost it long ago Truly, you do just make me nervous And I'm not used to it It's like they say in all those books I never read So I'm not used to it But I'm not the first to feel that bliss I quite enjoy it It's like I fell into your well Might you really write me letters Yes, I accept long letters ‘Cause I need attention more than you know More than I'll ever admit But you, you seem to understand Right, right from the beginning Oh you, you seem to comprehend That I'm ??? Truly, you do just make me nervous And I'm not used to it It's like they say in all those books I never read So I'm not used to it But I'm not opposed to feeling bliss I quite enjoy it It's like I fell into your well With all the diamonds I certainly won't mind it Might even be true Oh but I'm not used to it
The Magic I don't want to tell you what you already know This is me that you're talking to And anything I say, I have said before When will it be enough And something in my mind shifts, and I, I slip on my ears And I find when I'm face to face with none other than me I have got the mirror up against the marquee And all it reads is I am fine, I am divine But there's a wild ride going on behind the sign I'm looking for the magic I'm feeling for the right way out of mind Looking on the alchemy to release me from that maze I'm making myself I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic Now I don't wanna come off like I am I'm loosing my head But the shadow inside of me Is begging for direction to illicit city Oh illicit city Now I wanna do better than to fight this life ‘Cause it is a dream I wonder if the wild animals living in me Oh will they ever find freedom And all I fear is what I fear Am I a leviathan I feel the rising of the cove My ocean opens I'm looking for the magic I'm feeling for the right way out of mind Looking on the alchemy to release me from that maze I am making myself I'm looking for the magic I'm feeling for the right way out of mind Looking on the alchemy to release me from that maze I am making myself I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic I wanna be bad I wanna be bad I wanna be bad I wanna be bad My shadow must find a window In the wall I'm looking for the magic I'm feeling for the right way out of mind Looking on the alchemy to release me from that maze I am making myself I'm looking for the magic I'm feeling for the right way out of mind Looking on the alchemy to release me from that maze I am making myself I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic I'm looking for the magic
The Action Man This is the time for you to stop And ask me to dance It started raining My bells ringing, let's dance And we talked enough already And don't you wanna be the action man Let's dance Who would've thought you'd call me out Take my cards and take my hand My washed up feelings Made a getaway and ran I felt my heart race as we hit the floor From then on, I can't tell you much about time And space I'm wondering why I never call action Action into play What comes so easy I never want to obey I'm lucky, I know it And I am feeling it again today I say All I want to be To dare myself to be Is this dance Is this action man All I want to be To dare myself to be Is this dance Is this action man… Flash Oh my lover, won't you tell me now All the things that you fear ‘Cause I am a lover for the first time I am ready to hear I am ready to hear Show me lover all the things you see All the apples you find Show me the colours of the things that move you In and out of your mind In and out of your mind I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash Sing to me lover all the things you hear All your moments in time Let me in the rhythms of your heart And how your eyes rhyme And how your eyes rhyme Part me lover like the red sea Please don't hold back Help me remember that I can't forget And paint me jet black Paint me jet black I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash Don't you wonder when the earth will go Watch the oceans wash away the snow Oh my lover let me tell you now All the things that I feel I already cried a river so deep Now I'm ready to heal Now I'm ready to kneel I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash I heard a flash
Run For Love I run for love And I am quick Like the wind Like Athena I fly, I fly Moment to moment Am I what you have in mind I don't wanna talk on my future with you 'Cause it's all been written divine revelations Why don't we make love, make love Over and over That is what I have in mind Go on and read my mind Although you're just my kind Oh won't you see Oh won't you be mine Go on and read my mind Although you're just my kind Oh won't you see Oh won't you be mine... You can call me criminal But I see nothing so evil With giving it all to me And I just have to believe you won't say no So don't say no 'Cause yes comes so easily Just tell me now 'Cause I can hardly breathe I lose all control in your presence What can I do to show you what it's like Darling please take love, tender love I am telling you now and forever I am what you have in mind Have in mind Have in mind, oh Go on and read my mind Although you're just my kind Oh won't you see Oh won't you be mine Go on and read my mind Although you're just my kind Oh won't you see Oh won't you be mine...

Forever and a Year I found my dream tonight But it's not you You're my fantasy I've always known I would die alone So here I go I like to stay right here Forever and a year Don't you be scared ‘Cause I'm in it, I mean it, admit it I'm into love I've never dreamed a dream That feels like you, romancing me I long to hear you whisper in my ear Come on let's go Give in to the night The legs of afterglow The last leap open I'll breathe your atmosphere Forever and a year Don't you be scared ‘Cause I'm in it, I mean it, admit it I'm into love I've been in love before And it's been true Both the love and me And memory sends Forward history That I could go As soon as now So I am telling you I love you forever And this is always sealed Within the deep, deep field I like to stay right here Forever and a year
I Was Everyone I ran into the night 'Cause it's all I had My feet swept past the midnight Where the reeds grow wild I looked into the sky Felt the ages collide And the wind I heard it call my name Said, girl you are the chosen one You'll make history So, go, go rally the men And make them listen And you will feel the tides turn for you You will read the eyes of your enemies With that, that voice was gone And I stood alone Had I received a message From beyond the stone And why would it be me I have nothing of worth Were the voices just my vanity Said, girl you are the chosen one You'll make history So, go, go rally the men And make them listen And you will feel the tides turn for you You will read the eyes of your enemies And what if I woke up tomorrow not afraid I could decide to trust the voices and take courage What if I woke up tomorrow being brave I could decide to trust the universe, take courage I could decide and what if I tried For a moment I could feel it I could feel it, I could feel it For a moment I was everyone Who had never been quiet How would I spend my whole life Knowing the message If I knew they made it through to me I could not run and hide And I know everyone wants to be remembered And I know everyone wants to be a star But who will believe that they're worth it Who will believe they've got the right To stand up and be heard We are the champions We are the champions We are the champions... Stand up and be heard

On The Beach (Neil Young) The world is turning I hope it don't turn away The world is turning I hope it don't turn away All my pictures are falling From the wall where I placed them yesterday The world is turning I hope it don't turn away I need a crowd of people But I can't face 'em day to day I need a crowd of people But I can't face 'em day to day Though my problems are meaningless That don't make 'em go away I need a crowd of people But I can't face 'em day to day I went to the radio interview And I ended up alone at the microphone I went to the radio interview And I ended up alone at the microphone And now I'm living out here on the beach But those seagulls are still out of reach I went to the radio interview And I ended up alone at the microphone Get out of town Think I'll get out of town Get out of town Think I'll get out of town Head for the sticks with my bus and friends I follow the road, but I don't know where it ends Get out of town I think I'll get out of town 'Cause the world is turning I don't want to see it turn away I don't want to see it turn away I don't want to see it turn away I don't want to see it There Are Worse Things I Could Do (Warren Casey & Jim Jacobs) There are worse things I could do Than go with a boy or two Even though the neighborhood Thinks I'm trashy and no good I suppose they could be true But there are worse things I could do I could flirt with all the guys Smile at them and bat my eyes Press against them when we dance Make them think they stand a chance Then refuse to see it through That's a thing I'd never do I could stay home every night Wait around for Mr. Right Take cold showers every day And throw my life away On a dream that won't come true I could hurt someone like me Out of spite or jealousy I don't steal and I don't lie But I can feel and I can cry A fact I'll bet you never knew But to cry in front of you That's the worst thing I could do
Running (Gil Scott-Heron) Because I always feel like running Not away because there is no such place Because if there was, I would have found it by now Because it's easier to run Easier than staying and finding out You're the only one who didn't run Because running will be the way Your life and mine will be described As in the long run Or as in having given someone a run for his money Or as in running out of time Because running makes me look like everyone else Though I hope there will never be cause for that Because I will be running in the other direction Not running for cover Because if I knew where cover was I would stay there and never have to run for it Not running for my life Because I have to be running for something Of more value to be running and not in fear Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped Eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from Not without showing the fear as I see it now Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer Because of you and because of that nice That you quietly, quickly be causing And because you're going to see me run soon And because you're going to know why I'm running then You'll know then Because I'm not going to tell you now No, I'm not going to tell you now Because I'm not going to tell you now No, I'm not going to tell you now Because I'm not going to tell you now No, I'm not going to tell you now Because I'm not going to tell you now No, I'm not going to tell you now Because I'm not going to tell you now
The Solution Is Restless The Barbarian I still have access To the barbarian I still have access But I can never be sure When I'll find him ’Cause he's got a lot of nerve He'll throw you off his scent at any moment So that the wound never gets the message Never understands the war is over And we’re safe, safe in the clouds And I don't even think of the dead 'Til the morning What were you thinking, Barbarian What werе you thinking That I'll never survive without armor That I'm tеnder like the night Need you to carry me through Every moment But man your Mace started swinging backwards Swinging right into my heart Without you knowing And so I ran, ran for my life But will I abandon you? No I won't You are my brother Why don't you listen, Barbarian Why don't you listen Are you afraid to hear A gospel so unholy I know you hate the change Sound of the slipping chain Makes us crazy But when You cast the sun ungolden You stepped over the line Forever Now I see nothing at all Maybe we can Help each other Be free From each other I still have access To the barbarian I still have access But I can never be sure When I’ll find him ’Cause he's got a lot of nerve He’ll throw you off his scent at any moment So that the wound never gets the message Never understands the war is over And we're safe, safe in the clouds And you don't even think of the dead 'Til the morning Get My Bearings What will you do With the rest of your day With the rest of your life You don't know the sun will rise tomorrow And isn't it feral That we don't know how And we don't know when The end's the only thing that we can count on Maybe it's luck that rescues us Or it may be sending my love to the mountains Handing my heart to The Revelator Will I ever get my bearings Will I ever see Got bandaids on my arms Flip-flops on my feet Head full of something Lost my mind Who is this creature In the mirrored sea? Looks a lot like me But I don't recognizе her eyes of thundеr Isn't it heaven We can start again Anytime anywhere Oh, I just want to lose this standing water Maybe it's luck that rescues us Or it may be sending my love to the mountains Handing my heart to the Revelator Will I ever get my bearings Will I ever see Will I ever see Do I even care Does it matter Take Me To Your Leader Take me to your leader 'Cause I'm ready to play Can't hold my breath any longer Word on the street is she's a healer I know I'm down to obey And don't we need a break in the chaos? Yeah I'd be lying if I said I don't mind Well won't you please take me on I'm dreaming you make it right Take me to your leader 'Cause I'm ready to play Can't hold my breath any longer Word on the street is she's a healer I know I'm down to obey And don't we need a break in the chaos I know denying is a way to get by But hear me now, off the rails We are so far from alright Can you make it right? Take me to your leader 'Cause I'm ready to play Can't hold my breath any longer Word on the street is she's a healer I know I'm down to obey And don't we need a break in the chaos Why don't you take me to your leader 'Cause our fabric has frayed to the point of nothing to it And we need help to reassemble, to start again, to press reset To make amends, please take us to your leader and we'll listen Masquerader And so I put my hands over my eyes Call me what you want, I don't care ’Cause I know better than you That I'm a masquerader Not gonna do what I always do 'Cause I want to live by this song Just need time to learn the melody And I will take it with me When I go I’ll know how to walk away When I go I know it'll be easy 'Til then I'm in the hollows again Not long before I know when to run Without you I am all I could ever be Is it sad enough for you now? 'Cause you know better than me That I escaped disaster Not gonna do what I always do 'Cause I wanna live by this song Just need time to learn the poetry And I will take it with me When I go I'll know how to walk away When I go I know it'll be easy ’Til then I’m in the hollows again Not long before I know when to run Know how to gain on my shadow Know how to outrun the world I won't be returning today Won’t be returning tomorrow I'll just be turning away I'm ready to feel the sun on my shoulders Watch the water fill my footprints in the sand Just watch me, just watch me go Not gonna do what I always do 'Cause I wanna to live by this song Took my time to learn the balladry And I will take it with me Dinner Date We got the Sly singing high "Just Like A Baby" Oh, what else do we really need Fireflies are magic but only if we stay alive Stay alive for the dinner date

Perfect Shade of Blue You wanna stay or slip away We could take off so discreetly There's not a single soul at this party Who don't know that we've got business to get down to What will we do? What will we do about it Why don't we take the scenic route Along the ocean, maybe we dip in that ocean I gotta say I love your look What's it like to live in such a perfect shade of blue Your whole life through? Well what will we do about Go out and get, get what you want That's how people tend to do it But I don't want nothing from you I just want to to get closer If you want me If you want me To get closеr And I wonder What will we do about it No I don't really wanna gеt too high But it's your eyes, they mystify me And I just wanna be covered in your perfect shade of blue That perfect shade of blue, that perfect shape of you What will we do about it Do we have some sway over how we feel tonight Or have the fates taken over If they have, I do believe they will make it right Taking on your perfect shade of blue They've taken on your perfect shade of blue Reaction I spy on myself and watch my reactions Sometimes I approve, sometimes I don't I trace every reaction back to my unique interaction with life Anyone who's ever been alive has their own interaction with life We can grow up in the same country Live on the same block, be from the same family And still come from such different sets of circumstance Right coyote? Don't wanna stop, stop my reactions I just want to keep in mind all the lives I haven't lived I imagine how I could havе done it differently if I'd been ablе to stop To stop and wait, even for a second, a moment I don't know what I was thinking, I wasn't thinking to stop and wait I want the full effect of you I want the full effect of me Reaction It's what makes me feel alive It's what makes me wanna go on It's what makes me spy on myself Tell me about your life and the people Who made it good for you And even those who didn't Tell me about the lives I haven't lived

Lemons, Limes And Orchids Sometimes it was quiet Enough to scare you senseless The streets were filthy Peels of lemons, limes and orchids Security tags entangled in a great weave Of humanity I believe if you were simply Existing on the west side You looked guilty And you were guilty But only guilty Of looking for the door I wonder if our species Will evolve to birth our babies Much more able to survive Like a baby giraffe unfolding Herself like origami Right from her mother's womb Instantly running From the waiting cheetahs Does she remember this first taste Of terror in her new throat I know I do I am not angry It just explains why I ended up on the west side So long ago I witnessed a young woman Find herself in the road when she shouldn't be In a dangerous intersection There were cars honking at her She had no memory of how she got there She was not high Had not taken no drugs or whisky 'Cause all it takes is pain And overwhelming pain And pain knows what to do Go to the west side And oh What is more beautiful Than what really happened What truly happened There on the west side One day I feel like butter And the next I'm more aligned with the knife You hear me talking about avoidance How it breeds the worst anxiety Well, I can still see the stain And remember the smoke wall When no one could find me I have tried to find my way home Found that trying to find most anything Leads to loneliness Still I have tried to find the deep hole To fall into for the last time I have tried and tried To find a resemblance Resemblance of a past Resemblance of a past But there's nothing left Left of the west side And oh What is more beautiful Than what really happened What truly happened There on the west side And oh What is more beautiful Than what really happened What truly happened There on the west side Tribute To Holding On Here's a tribute to holding on What's the point of letting go Stop your thinking and let me love you More than you allow More than you could ever know Even when I, I talk too loud Spinning stories, making lies Won't you me wake me in the middle of the night Remember me Leave me breathless on the floor The sun, the moon reflects her light We just do the watching But what would happen if she left him in the dark If the power went out on the night Alright, be done Shred it all Feed me to the dogs We'll survive out on our own Or feed this bloom we call forever It's the honeycomb The sweet of holding on Safe To Say It's safe to say it's all about running around Let the cards fall free Drive me past the place where I figured it out Let me out and, magic, I walk away on my own Or start again and try to forgive and forget Reset the memories Pretend we're meeting up for the very first time Pantomime the actions you'd take to rescue our love Show me how to long to breathe your air again Tell me what to do when I fail In some unseemly fashion Deliver me the keys to your heart and then Remind me of the reasons why I chose you over others Not just that you lie May I suggest you start with befriending my body She'd like to meet the new you Extend your hand and know that the time may be wrong For your song To touch me the way I need to be touched This cage of ribs did nothing to safeguard my heart Just held me there captive, watching This offer holds if you would just shake me awake And be here Show me how to long, to breathe your air again Tell me what to do when I fail In some unseemly fashion Deliver me the keys to your heart and then Remind me of the reasons why I chose you over others Not just that you lie Not just that you lie Not just that you lie Not just that you lie Help Is On Its Way Help is on its way Just joking The water's getting higher Dirtier Full of stuff that kills us And you want me to wait Wait longer Well, what if I say Something quite controversial Would you leave the table Or would you consider it 'Cause you know I'm clever Or maybe just stop thinking And let your heart breathe easy now Well, here goes nothing I am your lover I'll say it again You are my lover Help is on its way Just joking

Ballad Of A Deadman
(Duet with David Sylvian) Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby bake me something sweet Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby give me bread to eat There are places in the damp Northwest where The bodies lie down head to feet There were losses in the California sunshine Tell you stories that you can't repeat In the winter when the valley's flooded Those were times where the rooms were cheap The summer dirt lines the corner's of your pockets I'm still buried there ten feet deep Papa don't place this curse on me Heaven knows I can't use it Papa don't place this stone on me Mama there's no future in it We travel on the back roads lightly Through Castle City and through the hills beyond Me and Joan on the Sacramento Me and Joan this is where we're from Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby bake me something sweet Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby give me bread to eat Papa don't place this curse on me Heaven knows I can't use it Papa don't place this curse on me Mama there's no future in it Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby bake me something sweet Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman Oh baby give me bread to eat Oh honey where's the colours of the springtime The pale green of an organdy dress Her shadow grows in the California sunshine But nothing else in the south south-west
Billie Jean (Michael Jackson cover / Thriller Recovered Compilation LP) She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean and she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful of what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mother always told me be careful of who you love Be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Hey Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid's not my son She says I am the one, but the kid's not my son For forty days and for forty nights The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice Just remember to always think twice She told my baby we'd danced 'till three Then she looked at me Then showed a photo, my baby cried His eyes looked like mine Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Then the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Hey Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid's not my son She says I am the one, but the kid's not my son She says I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one She says I am the one I am the one

Joan As Police Woman) No sé si la naturaleza Por muchos años más Me diera la energía para ver Desde mi ventana Cuando llegue el sol Anunciando un nuevo día Quisiera que la naturaleza Me permitiera ver en la lejanía Como se ocultan las estrellas Con la claridad del día I can't forget What I am thinking I am going to write down All these fantasies Tomorrow might be a bolero Or dreaming of you A poem of pure beauty I have hoped For so many years That all of nature's greatest beauty Would draw me to my window To summon the dawn The light of a new day Quisiera que la naturaleza Me permitiera ver en la lejanía Como se ocultan las estrellas Con la claridad del día Voy a escribir Todo que estoy pensando Voy a anotar Todas estas fantasías Mañana tal vez un bolero O pensando en ti Una hermosa poesía
Game of life
(Joan as Police Woman EP) Could this be my fate tonight That I could be meeting my match Or does this card I play really have nothing to do With the game of life Cause I've thieved And I feel hated for All of the tricks that I've played In the game of life Will I walk the line tonight Even thought there's something missing I'm afraid my heart is gone Left me nothing more than a love for a man So I'll seethe and I'll slither Towards your hot lights Red lights giant exploding Exploding in the name of life Will I fall into the arms that cannot hold me Or will I hit the target And fall into the arms of you Of you Something's got to give tonight Baby baby I need it to You are me and I am you So what's the fuss I'll seethe and I'll slither Towards you hot lights Red light giant exploding in the name of life Will I fall into the arms that cannot hold me Or will I hit the target And fall into the arms of you Of you
Hearts A Mess (Gotye cover / Songs For Australia compilation) Pick apart The pieces of your heart And let me peer inside Let me in Where only your thoughts have been Let me occupy your mind As you do mine You have lost too much love You just threw away the key You don't get burned It makes it easier on you But that much more difficult for me To make you see Love ain't fair So there you are My love Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you can't live like this Love ain't safe You won't get hurt if you stay chaste So you can wait But I don't wanna waste my love

Let It Be (The Beatles cover) Trouble, darkness Trouble, darkness When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be Let it be Let it be And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Whisper words of wisdom Let it be And when the broken-hearted people Living in the world agree There will be an answer Let it be Let it be Let it be For though they may be parted There is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Let it be Whisper words of wisdom Let it be
Lover's Spit (Broken Social Scene cover) All these people drinking lover's spit They sit around and clean their face with it And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit Tied to a night they never met You know it's time That we grow old and do some shit I like it all that way I like it all that way All these people drinking lover's spit Swallowing words while giving head They listen to teeth to learn how to quit Better take some hand and get used to it You know it's time That we grow old and do some shit I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way You know it's time That we grow old and do some shit I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way I like it all that way
My gurl
(Joan as Police Woman EP) The ceiling below The length of your shoulders Is slipping And reeling In stopped motion In stopped motion In stopped motion On the path, the fine line Moving to my gurl My twin, undetectable My criminal We're keeping the sea sated Straight ahead with focus Moving to my gurl Amidst the rage, the firing range And fashion The clicking of heels surrounds me Oh-oh I call to the sky "we will rise up, against the invisible" I'll brush the hair from my eyes Cause it's in my way And I wanna see you see me shine I know the way in And you all the way in I live in the shake-me And you so suddenly Feeling you before me Moving to my gurl Black pearls of blood rotation We're living in true wonder I call to the sky "we will rise up, against the invisible" I'll brush the hair from my eyes Cause it's in my way And I wanna see you see me shine I call to the sky "we will rise up, against the invisible" I'll brush the hair from my eyes Cause it's in my way And I wanna see you see me shine Hot flashes the way inside you I will bend in the ocean And spread the sky I know the way in And you all the way in I will bend in the ocean And spread the sky
Myrrhman (Talk Talk cover / Spirit Of Talk Talk LP) Place my chair at the backroom door Help me up, I can't wait anymore Blessed love, the love I've seen Stair by idle stair Faith one path and the second in fear I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope And tread dependence beneath my feet Step right up, something's happening here I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope A half-wit am I read I start in hope

Protect Me From What I Want (Placebo feat. Joan As Police Woman / MTV Unplugged) It's the disease of the age It's the disease that we crave Alone at the end of the rave We catch the last bus home Corporate America wakes Coffee republic and cakes We open the latch on the gate Of the hole that we call our home Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Maybe we're victims of fate Remember when we'd celebrate We'd drink and get high until late And now we're all alone Wedding bells ain't gonna chime With both of us guilty of crime And both of us sentenced to time And now we're all alone Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me

Stagger into the light
(Joan as Police Woman EP) I do Want every night To feel like the eagle in flight I do And if you feel like you might Want to share this with me Well, I beckon you To me This is an attempt to recover The stone in the gold And the ice, ever-crystalline And the oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh That acts like it's lost it's place In this warring world Listen to me Stagger into the light Stagger into the light The earth is child Treat her tonight as if she were infant And you're her first springtime Remember the human piece Rips like tissue when trying to get the gift This gift This is an attempt to recover The song in the reed How it bends to become you And the oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh That acts like it's lost it's place In this warring world Listen to me Stagger into the light Stagger into the light Oh- Stagger into the light Cause I do Feel like tonight could be every night For forever And I know you feel the same way I do, I do Send you eyes my way We'll recover the warmth of the dirt And the shine in the salty air And the oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh That acts like it's lost it's place In this warring world Stagger into the light Stagger into the light Oh Stagger into the light

The Long Run (Rodrigo Leão feat. Joan As Police Woman / Songs (2004-2012) LP) It's plain to see You won't be there for me In the long run In the long run It's plain to see You won't play fair with me In the long run Not in the long run You're not the man you used to be The man who fell in love with me The thought of it makes me crazy I'm caught in the trap that brings me back I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake You're not the man you used to be The man who fell in love with me The thought of it makes me crazy I'm caught in the trap that swings me back to you Oh baby, remember falling in love Oh baby, didn't we fall in love But now it's clear That you'll be nowhere near To the long run To the long run It's crystal clear That you'll disappear In the long run Yes, in the long run You're not the man you used to be The man who fell in love with me The thought of it makes me crazy I'm caught in the trap that brings me back You're not the man you used to be The man who fell in love with me The thought of it makes me crazy I'm caught in the trap that swings me back to you
Your Song (iTunes bonus track / The Classic LP) Sing to me And begin an anthology I can feel the melody in your mouth Sing to me And begin and begin again I can feel the gravity of your sight (?) of the dust of dawn In your song Who would know if life was really worth living And who would care to live it anyway But what I know is true When I hear you, I just want to make it through Sing to me And sense the change in the atmosphere You can feel the softening of my heart Bring to me Bring the noise supernatural Through your voice The conquering of the wild You mesmerize this child And chant all the while I hear music and the laughter in it I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Sing to me The life is really worth living 'Cause I want to care to live it anyway And what I know is true When I hear you singing, well, I want to sing too Who would know if life were really worth living And who would care to live it anyway But what I know is true When I hear you, when I hear you When I hear you, lover, I just want to thank you
