B i o g r a p h y (by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)
After Juliana Hatfield disbanded the jangle pop trio the Blake Babies in 1990, she launched a solo career, performing similarly melodic indie guitar pop. Singing in an endearingly thin voice, Hatfield married her ringing hooks to sweet, lovelorn pop and startlingly honest confessional songs. Her 1992 solo debut, Hey Babe, became a college radio hit, and its follow-up, 1994's Become What You Are, was primed to become a crossover success in the wake of the commercialization of alternative rock. Although Hatfield had a handful of modern rock hits, including "Spin the Bottle," she never managed to gain the mainstream audience of peers like the Lemonheads did, and by the late '90s, she had settled into a cult following. Hatfield was raised in an upper-middle-class home in Massachusetts; her father was a doctor and her mother was a fashion editor for The Boston Globe. As a child, she learned how to play piano, and during high school, she played guitar in a covers group called the Squids before discovering alternative rock through the Velvet Underground. Following high school, she attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studied voice. While at Berklee, she met guitarist John Strohm and drummer Freda Boner, with whom she formed the Blake Babies in 1986. Over the next six years, the Blake Babies and their charming jangle pop became college radio favorites. Hatfield left the band in 1990, and Strohm and Boner formed Antenna. Immediately following her departure from the Blake Babies, Hatfield contributed several lyrics to Susanna Hoffs' debut album. The following year, she played bass on the Lemonheads' It's a Shame About Ray, which turned out to be the band's commercial breakthrough. The success of It's a Shame About Ray in 1992 stirred interest in Hatfield's solo debut, Hey Babe. Released on Mammoth Records, the album was very similar to the Blake Babies, yet the songs were more personal and confessional. Hey Babe was critically praised and became a college radio and MTV hit, leading to a major-label contract for Hatfield with Atlantic. In 1992, Hatfield formed the Juliana Hatfield Three with bassist Dean Fisher and drummer Todd Phillips, and the group recorded its debut for Atlantic with R.E.M.'s producer Scott Litt. As she worked on the record, Hatfield became a minor media sensation; her songs were accepted as friendly, more accessible distillations of the feminist alternative rock movement known as riot grrrl. Hatfield appeared in fashion layouts in Vogue and Sassy, and she became the subject of gossipy tidbits about her speculated romance with Lemonhead Evan Dando and her assertion that she was still a virgin at the age of 25. In light of such exposure, many observers expected her 1993 album Become What You Are to be her mainstream breakthrough. A heavier record than its predecessor, Become What You Are was a moderate hit, as "My Sister" and "Spin the Bottle" earned heavy airplay on MTV and modern rock radio. Nevertheless, the album failed to make her a star. Only Everything followed in the spring of 1995 as alternative rock was beginning to decline in popularity. The album was received with mixed reviews, and only "Universal Heartbeat" managed to make much headway on radio or MTV, causing the album to slip down the charts quickly. Hatfield returned in 1997 with the EP Please Do Not Disturb, followed a year later by the full-length Bed. Spring 2000 was a busy time for Hatfield; she released the quiet, reflective solo album Beautiful Creature and Total System Failure, a collection of louder, poppier material, on the same day. Total System Failure featured Hatfield, former Weezer bassist Mike Welsh, and drummer Zephan Courtney as a new band, Juliana's Pony, which was a trio along the lines of the Juliana Hatfield Three. Hatfield's next project was a return to one of her first: she reunited with Freda Love and John Strohm in 2000, launching a Blake Babies tour and recording an album entitled God Bless the Blake Babies. The reunion was short-lived, but Hatfield and Love continued to work together in a group called Some Girls, which also featured Heidi Gluck (the Pieces). Some Girls put out the Feel It LP in 2002 and also did a moderate amount of touring. After that, it was back to the solo game for Hatfield. 2004's In Exile Deo was a bit of a surprise, however, since after all her restlessness it was easily one of her strongest, most mature albums to date. That mature streak continued with 2005's Made in China, a raw and direct effort that she produced herself and put out through her own Ye Olde imprint, as well as the Sittin' in a Tree... EP, which was recorded alongside the Boston-based alt-country band Frank Smith. A collection of live tracks called The White Broken Line: Live Recordings followed, and 2008 saw the release of two Hatfield products: first, a solo album entitled How I Walk Away, and second, an autobiography detailing her highs and lows throughout multiple decades of music-making. In 2010 Hatfield released another solo album, the self-produced Peace & Love, through her Ye Olde imprint. For her next album, Hatfield reached out to her fans, crowd-sourcing the funding for the album through website Pledge Music and giving a portion of the money donated by fans to a pair of animal shelters. The album, There's Always Another Girl, arrived in 2011. Two other Pledge Music-funded albums followed in the next two years -- an eponymous covers album in 2012 and Wild Animals in 2013 -- before she joined with Matthew Caws of Nada Surf for a duo called Minor Alps. After this project, she reunited the Juliana Hatfield Three to record Whatever, My Love, the trio's first album in 22 years. Whatever, My Love came out in February 2015.

Hey Babe Everybody loves me but you
Well I wake up every morning and the first thing that I say Is that I hope that I can make it through another lonely day I'm afraid I might explode if I keep going on this way People always notice me wherever I go They think I'm lucky but they don't really know Beauty and brains are all that I've got I've got a cold cold bed and a broken heart, a broken heart Everybody loves me, everyone but you But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do They search my eyes but I don't know why 'Cos all I ever do is cry Everybody loves me but you Girls wanna be me so they can pick and choose They figure out of ten men there's no way that they can lose Men would walk the plank for me and set themselves on fire What do they see in me that isn't sad and tired, tired I could fill my life with people who wanna be with me Do like when they say there's other fish in the sea There's a world out there and a million things to do But what do I care if it doesn't include you, you Everybody loves me, everyone but you But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do They search my eyes but I don't know why 'Cos all they ever do is cry Everybody loves me A cold cold bed and a broken heart A cold cold bed and a broken heart An empty house and a broken car A cold cold bed and a broken heart Lost and saved
I know exactly where we stand You're on your feet and I'm in quicksand I can't help myself, I need a hand Just when I think I'm dead He turns up just in time for bed I thank my lucky stars again I sold my soul for rock and roll I never ever get a kiss But now I bought it back and gave it away For another night like this I found a way to use my head I go over and over every word you said Look how I can make something out of nothing Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh When he said he loved me he was Lying but he had his fingers crossed It's ok he's not to blame Let him have his toys I know how to play that game And I know that he's a beautiful boy I'll take him any day But I won't wait around and I won't pray Cos in my heart of hearts I have been saved Say a prayer for the dying and the lost, ooh When he said he loved me he was Lying but he had his fingers crossed I see you
What's that over there moving on the wall A second glance and it's not there at all What's that sitting there on the page of my book It hides behind the words when I try to take a closer look I can't reach out and grab it but that's ok with me What's that jumping up and down in the middle of the street It lingers then it melts into the wavy liquid heat What are all those dizzy circles in the corner of my eye They laugh and float away as I look into the sky Can't get my arms around it but that doesn't bother me 'Cos all I have to do is dream I see you every place I go I see you in people I don't even know I close my eyes and I see you I open 'em wide and I see you I see you Who am I to close my mind from what it wants to see And who are you to tell the truth and kill my fantasy Why are all those people always saying things about me I'm not a loser, I'm just lonely Yeah I wanna lay down next to you But I'm not one to complain Yeah I wanna touch you too Do me a favor and appease my aching eyes Won't you please materialize Play another of your tricks with my sight Be here in the flesh tonight What's that pretty little thing crawling up my wrist Call me crazy, call me a masochist But I'd rather have you in my mind than completely out of sight So I'll just go on dreaming for the rest of my life I see you every night and day I see you in a million different ways I close my eyes and I see you I open 'em wide and I see you Yeah, I see you
The lights
I follow the path of a falling star It takes me closer to where you are, are What can I do, I try to be with you But I can only go so far You're light years ahead of me So bright that I can't help but see And you, I know how good it could be I try to look outside myself I try to find some outside help I'll try to sleep 'till you come up tonight And I'll lie down right under the lights For a little while I can feel all right A better life is in plain sight I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights Half a moon is moon enough To get me all the way across the bay A roman candle shoots off from the beach And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach I'd say I have the perfect view If only it was always true But in dark is it most of the time When I get right down in front of the lights Sometimes I really start to feel all right A better life is in plain sight I'll be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light of the night Come up right down next to me I don't have to say anything It's better than any made up fantasy Looking out and looking up I can see with my eyes shut This might just be the best time of my life And when I get right down in front of the lights Sometimes I really start to feel all right A better life is in plain sight I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
Nirvana
I shut the windows and close the store I lay down on the bathroom floor Everyone I know is a bore I'm starting to think that everything stinks That I could really use a drink Then I got up and hit my head on the sink Father father father father Do you call Father father father Should I end it all Now, here comes the song I love so much Makes me wanna go fuck shit up Now, I got nirvana in my head I'm so glad I'm not dead I slam my hand in the car door I scream 'till I could scream no more Bloody and mean and rotten to the core Father father father father Do you call Satan Satan Satan Should I end it all You try to get off the ground But you always end up coming down When the sound comes around and goes in your ears You can do anything you have no fears When that sound comes around and goes in my ears I can do anything I have no fears Now, here comes the song I love so much Makes me wanna go fuck shit up I got nirvana in my head I'm so glad I'm not dead Here comes the song, I love it so much Makes me wanna go fuck shit up Now, I got nirvana in my head I'm so glad I'm not dead
Forever baby
He falls down drunk, I hold him up He drinks and I refill his cup Then I take him home and put him to bed He wakes me in the dead of night Lets me be his second sight To guide him when he's sleep-walking Listen when he's sweet-talking I see the end of the road in his eyes He's got a long way to go I hold him like a loaded gun I know he might go off with anyone But I know he's only tryin' to have some fun He sees a couple of things in me Like how I'm not very hard to please It's really pretty easy I see my long lost home in his eyes He sees a nice hotel in mine I'll stick it out forever babe If we keep coming back together maybe You'll start to see it like me I'll stick it out forever babe If we keep coming back together maybe You'll start to see it like me I'll stick it out forever baby X12
Ugly
I don't look at faces, I look at my feet I'm all alone when I walk down the street I'm in the kitchen 'cos I can't take the heat I wanna leave but I stay in my seat 'Cos I'm ugly with a capital U And I don't need a mirror to see that it's true Ask me a question then I will mess up, ooh I'll tell a lie and I'll never fess up I'm pretty lost but I don't wanna be found No no no no no My tiny screams don't make a sound, no 'Cos I'm ugly with a capital U And I don't need a mirror to see that it's true 'Cos I'm ugly with a capital U And I need nobody to tell me the truth
No outlet
Do, do do do, do do do I left when you were still asleep Glad we had the chance to meet I walked by your room and whispered your name I knew I wouldn't be back again It's seed that's gotta go unsown It's a missed connection, a cancelled show Do do do, do do do There's a light shining out through your eyes at me But getting in is just like trying to crawl up a tree I try to get past all that stuff But a little while is never enough Like a power line it's hanging low Seems like there's no outlet on this deadend road Do do do, do do do Hey, babe, there's something I can keep Break off a chunk of you and give me a piece I put it in my pocket to save it for the days When thoughts of you come back to me and won't go away 'Cos I cannot make my dreams come true no matter how I try And I cannot be satisfied just knowing you're alive Dealt a good hand and forced to fold Pushed by circumstances beyond our control
Quit
I made it to the top of the wall This could be mine, I could own it all I better jump before I fall I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead Before I say anything That I wish, that I wish I hadn't said This is it, my car has arrived To take us to the greener grass on the other side But look at all the people who died Crashed when they went out for a ride So I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead Before I say anything That I wish, that I wish I hadn't said Get off your knees You taste little bits that wouldn't digest And you shit 'em out of your system You grab hands, squeeze, then let it go Drop it and watch it fall away like snow Yearning for a drug that doesn't exist Using your mouth like a fist That smile can't even show on your face You gotta get out of this place Like the noose snared to your leg don't fit Though even if you found the key you can't Get off your knees and repeat after me The devil rocks my soul Accept the fact that he didn't die And you'll begin to go There's a lump in my throat that won't go away I'm gonna rip it out I'm gonna kill desire and knock it down You'll be under my foot down on the ground You're trying to get the picture When there's nothing really to get You're running around in the desert trying to get wet You're wanting to hold on tight When there's nothing really to hold Stop that train of thought that drives you into the cold Get off your knees and repeat after me The devil rocks my soul Accept the fact that he didn't die And you'll begin to go Get off your knees and repeat after me The devil rocks my soul Accept the fact that he didn't die And you'll begin to go No answer You're the only one thing that I believe The only one thing that I can see I'm not blind so tell me why Why don't you come up and see me some time It's the only thing that stays with me The one thing that won't run away from me The answer doesn't lie (do do do do do do) At least not in the back of my mind (do do do do do do) Can't find it in your eye (do do do do do do) Can't find it in time I'm sure of myself and I know the truth Now all I have to do is show it to you It looks so easy but it's hard to do You I jump in the car, turn the music on I'm gonna be gone, but I don't know how long I've got time, so tell me why Will it take a whole life To prove what you know is right Why, why, why Why, why The answer doesn't lie (do do do do do do) At least not in the back of my mind (do do do do do do) Can't find it in your eye (do do do do) Can't find it in time Do do do do do do do X4 Do do do do do do dooo X4 Do do do do do do dooooooo X4 Oooh

I got no idols I'm a goddess in your eyes, and I will never die. I was born of people's needs, and what they don't wanna believe. But I am a liar, that's the truth, go home and think it through. That's the harm in mystery, all you know is what you see. I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols. I got no idols. X4

A heart, a heart that hurts, is a heart, a heart that works. A heart, a heart that hurts, is a heart, a heart that works. Sweet. sweet pain comes with the sun.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb Dumb dumb dumb dumb Dumb dumb dumb dumb Dumb, dumb. How do I get a foot in your door ? How do you turn this on ? Had a heart by accident. Did you have it all along ? Slave to the single chief executive Officer of the song. Hate your job, love your stuff. If you think that's living you are Wrong wrong wrong wrong Wrong wrong wrong wrong. Live on tomorrow Put me in the shower, pull me out of bed. Am I only dreaming, or did I wake up dead? Throw me in the garbage, shackled up in chains. But I still got my boots on So I can walk away. A heartbeat says you haven't died. You gotta try to stay alive. Leave me to the vultures. Throw me to the wolves. I'll live on tomorrow And purity of soul. Dump me in the ocean, Tied to a piano. But you forgot to rip my heart out Before you let me go. A heartbeat says you haven't died. You gotta try to stay alive. Lock me in the basement, Without anything to eat. You can hurt my body, But you can't hurt me. Dying proof
You need more heat, This is a recurring theme. You die in flames in my dreams. "I need to get more sleep", This is what you always say. Lying in a junkie's way. Finding you turning blue, It's easy to discern the truth. I can see what not to do. One look at you the dying proof. Pick up your cigarette Forget what I said It's so hard to care what you do. You say "look at me Respectfully." I can't. Finding you turning blue, It's easy to discern the truth. I can see what not to do. One look at you the dying proof. If life is a performance And I am not an actor Am I supposed to lie down and die? Bottles and flowers Reach inside carefully. Feel my psyche. Make it last. Put this moment under glass. Nobody really can do that. What a low fantasy. She don't know how to live. So alone. Somebody take me home. Alone too long it drags on. It's so wrong. So alone. So alone. Catatonic insomniac lying in the grass. What is she thinking of, overlooked by everybody? A long embrace, though you won't see it on her face. She's so alone. Somebody take me home. Alone too long it drags on. It's so wrong, so alone, so alone. Feels like an end, so much unsaid. Feels like an end, so much unsaid. So alone, somebody take me home. Alone too long it drags on. It's so wrong, so alone, so alone. So alone, so alone, so alone. Outsider
Underneath the sky, driving through the snow, Something in my mind, pulls me off the road. Got to get it down, and out out before it goes. Got to tell myself, what I need to know. I see you from the thirteenth floor. This hotel has a thirteenth floor. I'm thinking out the window "Come up and watch a video." Did you ever see the birth Or first steps of a tune? Beautiful to me And alien to you. It has got a face, only I could love. And I know my place, outside the hub. He's someone that you kinda know. He's someone that you'd like to know. You kiss him on the cheek and go. You gotta go and be alone. I see you from the thirteenth floor. This hotel has a thirteenth floor. I'm dreaming out the window "Come up and watch a video." Ok ok Why you asking?, That's the last thing. Untrusted, not busted. What what what what what what what what What a cheap shot., I did not. Just believe it., Just leave it. Shut up, shut up, shut up, Shut up, shut up Ok ok, whatever you say. Ok ok, I did it but I didn't. Ok ok, don't make me get crazy. Ok ok ok ok, ok, ok Forget it, regret it. Imagining not the real thing. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you X5 Ok ok, whatever you say. Ok ok, I did it but I didn't. Ok ok, don't make me get crazy. Ok ok ok ok, ok, ok Ok ok ok ok, ok. Congratulations I have a sweet creamy warm little jelly roll. I have a mind to just let my whole body go. Thought I was hungry but now I don't really know. If you don't want it you simply just say no. I ain't an animal, lovable, huggable. You look so human but hey one can never tell. I got no secrets and I think that you should know Life ain't a party, it's not like a video. "I am" he said to me "equally wary." I don't know what I like only know what I don't. I don't like what I know only love what I don't. I know the fire but none of the afterglow. Killing the irony that's ruining rock+roll. "I am" he said to me "equally wary." Thinking of you as I lick the crumbs off the floor. Congratulations are due as you shut the door. Never began and so nor will it ever end. Only desire, desire not anything more. I am He. He is me. I am He. He is me. Doo doo doo... Hang down from heaven Love is everywhere I'm not allowed. I feel he's been to hell, but he's near to heaven now. I need to see it. I can't not have it, so inscrutable, so beautiful. I try. I try. I try. His head is I don't know. I'm stuck outside again. Can't get in. I can't move him. I think I like it because it hurts to not know, Pain is so. I tried. I tried. I tried. My darling You're hurting me my darling, my darling, my darling. It's killing me my darling, my darling, my darling. Tell me what can I do, help me help you. You never give me anything, anything, anything. But you needed everything., much, much more than I could bring. I heard the things that you said. Things really are messing with my head. Sweet on the outside, but bitter on the inside. I'm giving up now, but I swear to God I really tried. I was happy as a child. Simplicity is beautiful Blues soul rock country Red green blue yellow Morning laughing talking walking Bread rice water fruit It's a simple feeling Hold feel save me Baby brother sister parent You blues Hit the bottom and bounce back up. The lowest low is only a beginning. These are the words many people said to me. But in a crowd you lose humanity. Scared of the future that comes from the past. When I think back I see that this could never last. All I say is all I give back to you. All I think is all I go back to do. All I do is all I can't get to you. What is he? He's the inspiration. What am I? I'm a satellite. I revolve around a bigger body. And when I fall, I just disappear. Scared of the future. Aware of the past. When I think back I see that this could never last. All I say is all I give back to you. All I think is all I go back to do. All I do is all I can't get to you. Sixteen months and seventeen days was enought to alienate. After all, love is unbecoming. I turn it off and while away. Scared of the future that's made of the past. When I think back I see that this might never pass All I say is all I give back to you. All I think is all I go back to do. All I do is all I can't get to you.
Bed Down On Me
You won't meet me in the middle Push me off the dividing line You won't give a little What good graces? No explanation for your change of heart You left the inside out You get a little or a lot You're either cold or you're hot A ceiling of clouds The tall buildings are walls I'm walking around and I can't get out The general fatigue of a private person trying to talk to you You saw the movie, you don't need to read the book A masterpiece or a piece of shit. You're either stealing or you're taken. You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore. You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore. You buy the pound just to burn it down And watch the sleeping dogs die Walk away unscathed I'm going to take you off my thank-you list "Will you ever get your shit together?" Hookers and virgins, sluts and nuns What if I am neither one? You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore. You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore You're so down on me I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore. I want to want you
Dust off the instruments Do you still know how to play? With the pride of lions you rub me the wrong way Stick your hand in the cookie jar, pull out bad poetry. I want to want you I want to want you My face has changed I don't look the same A human mutation Alienation factory Too much information, maybe. What a bad judge of character you were I would fake it if I could It would probably be for my own good Honesty is a curse It only makes it worse. I want to want you I want to want you You're such a lucky man Over and over again Runs like a dream No demons in your machine I can't explain to you what I don't understand. I want to want you X6 Swan song
You were gonna let me go No guts to tell me yourself Go ahead and rub my nose in it You can't fire me because I quit You make me feel invisible Well, surely you see me now Strecthed out on the floor of your house Foaming at the mouth With a needle in my arm Next to a smoking gun And an empty razor case And a note that says : "Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane" "Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane" "Dear Jack I hate you" I said yeah yeah yeah waouh. The neighborhood is gonna watch me As I create the great finale A perfect swan dive out the window Crash the car off the road You're not gonna miss me But you're gonna remember my body Crumpled in a heap in the middle of your street. Clean up your mess X4 Finally you're carrying me Over the threshold try to revive me With a cold compress but it's too late I guess your best just isn't good enough When every warm embrace It was a selfish act And every smiling face It was a trap You shit You stabbed me in the back "Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane" "Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane" "Dear Jack I hate you" I said yeah yeah yeah waouh. Clean up my mess X4 Sneaking Around
Baby, you come whisper at my door What do I open it for? I'm always happy to see your face Even though you are discrace. I'm sick of sneaking around X4 Hide your smile It's broad daylight And don't start thinking about last night You can't say these things out loud But I'm not leaving and I'm not proud. I'm sick of sneaking around X4 Do me the honor of holding my hand on the plane Take me on public transit Express your feelings on the train We travel together over time zones and weather Never really touching the ground. The only evidence I have : Dirty pictures in my bag. Am I ever going to see where you live? Am I ever going to meet your kid? I'm sick of sneaking around X4 Backseat
The gauge is on "e" I'm gripping the wheel the map is so hard to read I can't see the road I can only see From my hand to my mouth From right here to the ground But I'm too far gone to go back Where will it end? My weary eyes On the space Right in front of me. My mind imagining Love and empathy Or just some company saying Don't let go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Don't you know I know? Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Oh don't let go. An angel takes the wheel I climb into the backseat And get under the blanket where sleep can bathe me in dreams With a warm humming engine and spacemen three Sleeping with Jesus I just need to rest. And I cry like a baby Who fell out of the cradle A feeling of release How hard can it be To speak clearly? Don't let go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Don't you know I know? Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Oh don't let go. Pull over and get out You're down, clinging to the earth You want the world to stop Discover unknown reserves Get up, brush off the dirt Get back in And don't let go. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Don't you know I know? Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Don't let go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Oh it's such a long road Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ... Oh don't let go.
Live It Up
The Guest of honor cries Tars of joy and pride But someone's waiting in the wings to steal your fire And I don't want to ruin the surprise That your house on the beach Will fall into the sea. Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down This reign can't last It'll all dry up so fast The planets are flying past you You think it's only natural That the world will stop And wait for you And wait for you if you fall off. Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down We fantasize of your demise We lie in wait, we salivate Visualizing your head on a plate.

Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down Live it up 'cause you're going down. You Are the Camera
Wake up naked Stretch like a panther Throw off the covers Run to the mirror, my lover Admire this face It could help to save the world This body must be seen to be believed My back and torso like a man ray photo This is a scene We are improvising me. You are the camera You try to seduce me You are the camera You love me I make love to you You are the camera. I practice different smiles I rehearse different lines Like the perfect comeback or an eloquent speech Let's take a walk on the street on the stage Don't say anything Just follow me Don't leave Save me for posterity What do I want to be seen buying? I write in my diary Only what I want you to read. You are the camera A reason for living You are the camera I need you to need me ( I need you to justify my life ) You are the camera. We sit down on the couch On the left or on the right? What is my good side? Come in for a close-up Fresh breath, perfect makeup Are we gonna kiss on the mouth like I read about? I look right at you and see myself and I'm in love. You are the camera A reason for living You are the camera In the presence of greatness You are the camera I disappear what you're not here You are the camera.
Running Out
Everyone alive is a survivor And everything's the matter You're too young to die In a double suicide With the wrong guy What of all the paths you tried to take? To want too much way your mistake. You're running out of reasons You're running out of faith And promises are nothing They're broken as they're made. You're running out of answers Can't give you any more You're running out of everything You're running out the door. It's not supposed to be like this Can this be all there is? You keep pushing your luck Too stupid to give up You dream bigger You fall harder. You think of things that should have never happened You think of all the things that never will. You're running out of reasons You're running out of faith And promises are nothing They're broken as they're made. You're running out of money And you don't know how to say "Can you help me? I'm drifting away." Bad Day
I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. I screwed it up again. I made another friend A desperado Named "trouble" He showed his gun to me He took my money I think I understand What makes a boy become A bad man. I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. To suffer greatly From the indignity Of working for a living Why would I want to breed? And the monotony Driving me crazy I shouldn't rock the boat I think my head's about to explode. I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. I lost my head. I made my bed all by myself Now I don't sleep in it so well. I'm taking off my dress But you won't touch me now This room is such a mess I really don't know how To be the perfect girl But in a perfect world I'd give you what you need And you'd be giving me Another chance. I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. I ask myself why did I run away? I guess maybe I was having a bad day. I lost my head. I made my bed all by myself Now I don't sleep in it so well. Let's Blow It All

Anemia
I want to wear you to bed I'm hanging on by a thread Your tattered shirt is all i have I make love to your monogram Needing you is killing me I desire apathy I need you to hold my head Soak up this blood with bread Feed me 'cause i'm underfed The heart i didn't mean to spill It suffers from a lack of will I can't get out of bed until This deathly pallor is erased By your sweet hand upon my face Anemia I fill my veins with nicotine To change the nature of the need I fill my head all up with shame To change the flavor of the pain These cigarettes are smoking me I had a dream that i could sleep Anemia
*** Thanx a lot to Leisha for this one ***

I can't get you out of my mind Lately you've been so low You were a friend of mine And baby you already know If you'd ask I would try to stop all the rain And lightning and heat waves Your world's not over yet Don't believe in bad dreams Don't let the dark side bring you down It's only a dream Don't be afraid to fall asleep Close your eyes Close your eyes I can see it on your face Somebody let you down You're all alone again You're stuck in this small town Scary monsters They may haunt you in your times of sadness If you could just let her go Don't believe in bad dreams Don't let the darkness make you cry It's only a dream Don't be afraid to fall asleep Close your eyes Close your eyes Don't believe in bad dreams Don't let the darkness make you cry It's only a dream Don't be afraid to fall asleep Close your eyes Close your eyes Close your eyes Choose Drugs
I withhold your medicine But you've still got a connection They remember everything In the sky, oblivion I never knew your innocence Your white skin glistens You pried my eyes open I've lost my ambition I say it's me or drugs You choose drugs I say it's me or drugs You choose drugs I say it's me or drugs You choose drugs I say it's me or drugs You choose drugs Drugs, drugs.

Don't Rush Me
You called me from your kitchen You talked at me but you wouldn't listen You once had me on that floor Oh yeah Sweet memory Sweet lay Your weight on me Don't want to pine my days away But I miss your body Don't rush me I'm leaving This cut is Still bleeding From the promise Of your lies I'll let go In good time My heart is in the wrong place I still want to kiss your mean face Maybe in a month I'll forgive you for the things you said Believe me I hear you It's so clear You hurt me You know where Standing with a package in the rain full of very heavy air, air Don't rush me I'm leaving This wound is Still bleeding From the promise Of more lies I'll let go In good time Don't write me when you need me Don't call me when you want me Compassion, it's not your problem I won't go out down that way I'm getting over it The sun just won't stop shining I can't remember why I'm crying It's in my eyes when I'm driving away Blinding me to you Don't rush me I'm leaving This wound is Still bleeding From the promise Of more lies I'll let go In good time Don't write me when you need me Don't call me when you want me Compassion, it's not your problem I won't go out down that way I'm getting over it Don't rush me I'm leaving This wound is Still bleeding From the promise Of more lies I'll let go In good time Don't rush me / I'm getting over it Don't rush me / I'm getting over it Don't rush me I'm getting over it I'm getting over it I'm getting over it ...
Slow Motion
I think in slow motion I move in slow motion Through the smoke I hear a sound Through the music From my brain To my mouth When I turn to look at you With an answer You have gone From the room Like this vodka and cranberry I drop it eventually It breaks in slow motion Might Be In Love
Stuck On a plane On a runway Cheap red eye It's a one-way Getting back to you It takes forever Will I ever hit the sky? I think I might Be in love with you I think I might Be in love with you Three Whole seats To myself I'll lie down And stretch out But I know that I won't sleep at all You're all I see when I close my eyes I think I might Be in love with you I think I might Be in love with you I never had any reason not to roam But tonight it feels like I'm going home I think I might Be in love with you I think I might Be in love with you I think I might Be in love with you
Somebody Is Waiting For Me
You never needed them You never needed anyone The life of the party must decline Your invitation to dine And I'm sorry that I must go so soon Please forgive me for finding something real And pure and true Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me I never needed this I never needed anyone I meant every word that I said It's true I wasn't talking to you And I'm sorry that I must go so soon Please forgive me for finding something real and pure and true Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me And I'm sorry that I must go so soon Please forgive me for finding something real and true Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me Somebody is waiting for me For me, for me, for me, for me, for me For me for me for me for me for me for me for me. Until Tomorrow
They've come to take you away They've come to put me in my place Angels are floating down the river Today It all happened too soon On a muggy afternoon I knew it would end but I'm not ready To lose you Heaven can Wait until tomorrow Give us this day Just let me borrow some time So we can say goodbye I know that you've gotta go There are so many things I want you to know But I don't have to say it I don't have to explain because you know And maybe you wouldn't even care But I feel the need to be there To thank you for understanding When I was scared Heaven can Wait until tomorrow Give us this day Just let me borrow some time So we can say goodbye I'm walking away And when I reach the next stage I'll be with him We'll be celebrating Heaven can Wait until tomorrow Give us this day Please let me borrow some time So we can say goodbye The Easy Way Out
You want your mother She is your heroin Your daddy didn't love you You're breaking things again You don't want to love You want to fight You don't want to do it You're too uptight Well I know it's got nothing to do with me I won't be your drama queen Bad goodbye You took the easy way out You want it so bad to be bad It's an easy way out Your badge of honour An image of disease You bought it on the corner Instant authenticity I count the days How long will it take? You're selling tickets to the self-destruction You want the world to see your pain I didn't come this far to go back again Bad goodbye You take the easy way out You wanted so bad to be bad It's an easy way out Your daily bath Can't keep your conscience clean You're unequal to the task And you've got the nerve to be weak Bad goodbye You took the easy way out, out, out You blame it on me But you're the disease It's an easy way out And he cries Like a girl And he lies To the world And the hate And the guilt And the pills It's an easy way out Hotels
I miss the sound of laughter The children down the street I may not find an answer It's only memories Hotels, hotels Welcome me when I need a home Hotels, hotels Days are getting shorter And the night wind in the trees And the soft skin on your shoulder And the way you wanted me Hotels, hotels Welcome me when I need a home Hotels, hotels Think of me when I'm leaving Will you give this to my mother? Once again it's time to leave There's no ever after There's only in between Hotels, hotels Welcome me when I need a home Hotels, hotels, hotels Welcome me when I need a home Hotels.
When You Loved Me
When you loved me I was good enough When you loved me Music woke me up But now the silence Is suffocating Did I deserve this? Did I do a bad thing? When you loved me Every single day Was a blessing Time would fly away But now every minute Feels like an hour Wishing the day would end Inside the prison in my head But then you turned me Into a fool Watching you walk away Into another world When you loved me I was happy When you loved me Never lonely But then you turned me Into a fool Watching you walk away Into another world When you loved me, when you loved me When you loved me, when you loved me Cry In The Dark
Do you cry in the dark because it's easier to be alone than to talk? When the words aren't working and you don't know how to explain these thoughts Every look and every (e)motion has a deeper meaning Everybody hurts nobody only when they're dreaming Do you cry in the dark? The light hurts when it hits your face You don't want anyone to see you this way You only want to be loved and taken away by someone So you cry in the dark And the picture of you holding hands by the fire is fading fast And your heart is closing and you don't know how to get off this track Every day you mime a prayer though your faith is shaken Your godmother has got nobody because everybody's taken Do you cry in the dark? The light hurts when it hits your face You don't want anyone to see you this way You only want to be loved and taken away by someone So you cry in the dark This emotion is an ocean The waves are getting high I'll find an island, call it mine I'm swimming for my life Do you cry in the dark? The light hurts when it hits your face You don't want anyone to see you this way You only want to be loved and taken away by someone So you cry in the dark

Get In Line Close my eyes again I watch you run away Put my heart on ice It hurts like hell to have had better days Up and over the sun Not forever but higher than heaven Now I go no one And I'm dying from lack of love And affection Get in line, get in line, get in line I'm giving myself away Come on baby, kiss me It doesn't really matter anyway One more time We're all gonna die someday It's the one sure thing With a question mark for an answer Everybody sing My feeling for you endures like cancer Get in line, get in line, get in line I'm giving myself away Like a jaded ingenue I tried so hard to get you out of my mind But the lies I tell myself They break down over time Throwing rocks at clouds To tear their silver linings Knocking rainbows down To keep myself from climbing Get in line, get in line, get in line I'm giving myself away Jamie's In Town Tonight we were going to go I know But Jamie's back in town I'm not gonna answer the phone I'm not home Because Jamie's back in town Jamie's back in town I can't run into him I don't want him to see me On a binge Na, na, na, na, na I hate it when Jamie's back in town I crawl into my cave With bloodshot eyes Little sugar pills to ease my mind I could turn into a butterfly Please let me know when he's gone I'll come out Until Jamie's back in town Jamie's back in town Tourist She answers your questions But everybody lies You're not the only one And it's not her first time She lets you stay and then leaves Like a midnight sun When does she sleep? You're just a tourist in her world You want to capture her But you can't find the words You can touch her skin But you're blind to the light within And in the morning she pulls off her mask Her brown eyes green It's a private show But everybody stares She turns into a ghost Of someone that you think you know But you don't You're just a tourist in her world Some Rainy Sunday A whippoorwill sings And the morning brings Sunshine and freedom A beautiful day I just couldn't stay Inside love's prison But some rainy Sunday I'll wake from a dream And wonder if you miss me Some rainy Sunday I'll see things your way And wish that you were with me Telephone calls Just hit the wall And you can't see my side Tied up with you In a manic mood I just scream good-bye Some rainy Sunday I'll wake form a dream And wonder if you miss me Some rainy Sunday I'll see my mistake And wish that you were with me
Tomorrow Never Comes
( Dot Allison Cover )
You're sailing away, to another shore My heartache today, I can't tell you anymore And I thought I saw your shadow in the street today But that was yesterday, oh that was yesterday With a little courage, in time You might forgive me With a little loving, in time You might forgive me Believe me I know it's been hard for you There's never an easy way to let it go And I thought I saw your jacket in my room today But that was yesterday, oh was that yesterday? With a little courage, in time You might forgive me With a little loving, in time You might forgive me And I dreamt that you were telling me you dreamt of me But now I'm waking up, oh I think I'm waking up With a little courage, in time You might forgive me With a little loving, in time You might forgive me With a little courage, in time You might forgive me With a little loving, in time You might forgive me
Forever Red light Red light Go to green Don't make me cry Don't make me scream And don't think I don't know It's already 10:43 I could pray Or toss and turn all night long But it hurts And I know no one that I know Will see me here Just one more then I'll quit forever You're a secret I try to hide But people see it in my eyes And in the way I can't concentrate When I need you I think I know how much I've thrown away If I had you now I think I'd be okay I'm just letting go So I can breathe Just one more then I'll quit forever Red light went to green And now I don't feel anything Don't think I don't know it's really bad for me I can't live my life You're dragging me down My heart pounding Is the only sound If I wake up tomorrow You'll be gone Just one more Then I'll quit forever Forever Forever And ever Amen Dirty Dog Baby I know you want to get high Well I won't cry If you get between my sheets Maybe bleed on me You can say you love me Over and over again I'll still be your friend But I'm not down with the dirty dog You can blow your smoke right in my face And come three hours late You can steal my concept And drink my wine And break my shades You can flip me over from behind That would be alright But I'm not down with the dirty dog I wanna see fears in your eyes When I draw the line I'm not down with the dirty dog Because We Love You Daddy dance with me Too far gone to even speak Neil Young on the radio Four dead in Ohio Daddy are you asleep? Your son's a mess And your daughter's a freak And when you hit the road This time it's a heavy load We tried everything to get you back Even sprung a junkie from rehab I'll have another drink If it makes you laugh We'll try anything Because we love you daddy Michael and me A long long time ago We were a family And I don't want to let you go This life is all we know We tried everything To get you to laugh Even put a monkey on my back Have another drink If it makes you sad We'll try anything Because we love you Because we love Singing In The Shower Morning has come Much too soon He puts on his tie And thinks of you Singing in the shower Dreaming of nights he's been missing All of his life Singing in the shower No one can hear He's been no one for forty years He wanted to live like a rolling stone With a beautiful wife And city and country homes Singing in the shower He's off tonight He's been no one all of his life Singing in the shower No one can hear He's been waiting for forty years Tears in his eyes Washing away Singing in the shower No one can hear He's been waiting for forty years Singing in the shower Got no stage fright He's been practicing all of his life It Should've Been You Turn it off I don't want to dance It sounds just like you And he's got your hands You're big in small circles Maybe big in France But my country just never game a damn It should've been you But a singer without a song Who never realized the night is long When you're sober and out of luck They'll steal your best lines and your haircut It should've been you Lying here with my younger man He's good-looking but he doesn't understand That who I am is not my clothes or my car He's got no soul But he's a rock star It should've been you And I know I'm a fair-weather fuck I only want you when you're on top I'm afraid when I feel your love I turned away But I'm not better off It should've been you Sunshine Everybody gets down sometimes You get happy with a sugar buzz White chocolate is your favorite drug I go underneath the covers There are things I do not understand When I reach out will you slap my hand? I've been sleeping through my life Now I'm waking up And I want to stand in the sunshine I have never been ecstatic Had a flower but it never bloomed In the darkness of my wasted youth It was hiding in the shadows Learning to become invisible Uncover me Weeping willow I've been sleeping I've been sleeping through my life Now I'm waking up And I want to stand in the sunshine Waking up Forgotten memories of Laughter and war That we lived through And all the people that I never knew I've been sleeping through My life Now I'm waking up And I want to stand in the sunshine I'm waking up I want to stand in the sunshine Don't Let Me Down Hitting the wall Do it all night I can't resist I put up a fight End of the page Turn it around I say okay Maybe I'm wrong And everything means nothing But I gotta believe in something I'll buy anything That you sell me I'll believe whatever you tell me Don't let me down I need you now When inspiration fades Don't leave me now Please show me how And send me on my way Looking for words at the end of the road Under a rock I want to grow Some angel wings You know what I mean And when we fly It isn't a dream And everything means something I don't want to believe in nothing I'll believe whatever you tell me Baby history can't help me Don't let me down I need you now When inspiration fades Don't leave me now Please show me how And send me on my way My Enemy
Put your ear next to my beating heart Still alive And if you pick me up in your arms I'll give you one more chance To try and knock me down again If you want to stand me up on frozen ground Go on take aim when I open my mouth I still love my enemy I still love my enemy You appointed me the stoic one Not allowed to cry these tears But silence belies the pain You pushed inside Impossible to love Is all that I know how to be But in my heart I keep repeating You didn't mean to hate me I still love my enemy I still love my enemy ...

*** Thanx a lot to Stacee for these lyrics and Juliana Herself to correct them !! *** New Waif
You better give this girl something Because she's dying for a lie Tell her love is all we need And we're not fighting for nothing You see everything it was how she knew You would find her perfect song between asleep and awake In simple truths like blood in the streets Sugar is sweet and the sky is blue What Do I Care
I feel funny is it over am i dead or asleep on the sofa Made in china for the masses I'm cheap and plastic there's millions of us yeah You can buy me you can break me you can laugh but you'll see it's so easy What the fuck it's a miracle I'm even here You're over me but I'm alive what do i care Do you miss it doing dishes I'm amazed you don't find me delicious Look at me there I'm a rock star in my muumuu you can't see my blah blah Can you take it when I break it give it back to the posers who fake it Suck the milk out of the lilacs we were so innocent you can't go back What the fuck it's a miracle I'm even here You're over me but I'm alive so what do i care Standing in the cement Standing in the cement Standing in the cement Buried in that moment Standing in the cement Standing in the cement Standing in the cement Buried in that moment What the fuck it's a miracle i'm even here You're over me I hate New York what do I care Stay Awake
I don't wanna go to school today I don't wanna go I just wanna play guitar all day You act like you're the only one who has problems You act like you're the only one who's ever gotten strung out on pills Pills I don't wanna have to do the things that people have to do I'm not a person I'm just an object to you like books and shoes You act like you're the only one with a chemical imbalance You're not the only one who's ever looked into a flash Stay awake Stay awake I don't wanna stay awake I don't wanna stay awake Stay awake Stay awake I'm gonna go to sleep Stay awake Stay awake I'm gonna go to sleep On Video
It's on video Baby there's no way you can lie your way out of this one It's on video You're looking so transparent you got no skill at seduction no All the money you bought and the money you won And the money you got and the money you love's not enough It's on video Now all the bleeding hearts have finally got their proof yeah It's on video Just cause you say you're a good man doesn't make it true No All the money you bought and the money you won And the money you got and the money you love's not enough It's on video It's on video All the favours you trade with the cops And all the people you paid off All the money you bought and the money you won All the money you got and the money you love All the money you bought and the money you won All the money you got and the money you love's not enough Hole in the Sky
There's a hole in the sky I stood and stared I feel it inside what isn't there The children are lost we can't find them anywhere Hole in the sky I'm crying still crying for you Hole in the sky I'm crying still crying for you There's smoke in our eyes it's all over town Your power and your money they won't help you now You've unleashed the sun till now and forever burn down Hole in the sky I'm crying still crying for you Hole in the sky I'm crying still crying for you Everybody look up with funeral eyes Wish you had one more chance to say goodbye or i'm sorry La la da da da la da da da Hole in the sky Ah Hole in the sky I'm coming I'm coming with you Oh
It's a basic need to lie and be believed Step out of line and you will have arrived Oh oh oh tell me something Oh oh oh don't say nothing I'm gonna wait till it rains then I'm gonna burn everything I'll sing to the clock because no one came Oh oh oh tell me something Oh oh oh don't say nothing You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like to be perfect To be perfect What it's like Shine a light on a sob story Shine it on the dust This is the age of boredom and deadly weapons Oh oh oh flip a coin Oh oh oh to live or die Why are you so surprised No one knows what it's like to be perfect No one knows what it's like Why are you so surprised Flip a coin to live or die My Pet Lion
There's a moment in every day right before it's too late Innocent child sees the truth but your mother never knew You snuck downstairs and doused the flames all in vain Can't hold on gotta let go Can't hold on gotta let go You know just what you want You want ice cream and bags of chips and chocolate And blood and guts and drugs and sex and cigarettes And I got tricks to keep me in line Like being good for a while I sit on my hands But my heart speeds up So i just say what the fuck I can't hold on i gotta let go Can't hold on gotta let go Make me wild Let me melt Inside a house on stormy seas the roof is leaking Under the waves there is no light and everyone's sleeping I'm so afraid I'm not in control it's out of control Rip me to shreds and spit it out all over the world Make me wild There's a moment in every day just before it's too late You can't hold on i gotta let go Can't hold on gotta let go I can't hold on i gotta let go I can't hold on i gotta let go Going Blonde
Nah nah nah nah nah nah Baby baby baby I don't want nothing Means I want something Millions of diamonds Sparkling shining Singing stupid songs I'm going blonde Bleach in my brain I dig the pain Firing squad pointed at the sweet spot I'm turning myself on I'm going blonde Never want to be forgotten I'm speaking American I need some attention tell you my problems What's going on I think I'm going blonde Nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah Baby baby baby Baby baby baby Nahanahanahah nah nah Rats in the Attic

Will you get me when i wash ashore Bring the nightgown i left on your floor If it's snowing and the truck gets stuck I get out and help you dig it out I want you it's 9 degrees without you i will freeze If you take me to a party that everybody knows the songs but me I'll sing La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la The snow is dirty in the city People faking going crazy Shiny girls with no opinions Bring the dogs to them so they can choose There's too much noise here I can't hear the music in my head Are you contemplating white lines I will save you from the spider bites La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la You're my island boy come and live with me You don't have to pay got my own money There's a time to work and a time to play It's a perfect place for the end of side one La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la Digital penetration Digital penetration A Doe and Two Fawns
I stand at the window looking out Waiting for something i don't know what They don't see me so they're not scared But they tread lightly everywhere Here comes the darkness it comes down fast Run to the ocean leave tracks in the sand Sunsets pink and orange and lavender and grey There's a bird on a branch at the top of the tree We wanted the world to give us a chance Now we're pushed out to the edges If we stand still blinded by the lights Is it murder or suicide Here comes the darkness it comes down fast Run to the ocean over the sand Here comes the darkness it comes down fast Run to the ocean leave tracks in the sand Send Money
When you talk to god tell him i said hi But he don't need to bless me because i am alright already Would you kill for Jesus When you've never met the man you've only read about I want proof because I'm full of doubt Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Don't i wish you could do my thinking for me But it doesn't work that way And this marriage is not officially ordained We just love each other And i am an unwed mother I love the world I love my beautiful girls Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you want to pray for me tell god to send me some money Save yourself Save yourself If you have to pray for me tell god to send me some money
How To Walk Away
*** Thanx a lot to Andrew for these lyrics ***
The fact remains I stayed until the star-spangled banner played And I couldn't keep my eyes open I stayed till the buds dried up and fell off on the table And there was no hope of my saving them Till the last levee broke And the floods came and washed away our home Then it was over And I will never be the same I finally wised up But the fact remains I stayed too long I stayed till the last of the bottles was empty And whizzing by my head I stayed till there was no more air in the room And my tears no longer moved you Till you lied and you lied And you lied and you lied and you lied again Then it was over And I will never be the same I finally wised up But the fact remains I stayed too long I stayed too long Next time maybe I will know how to walk away With pride and grace and faith in myself Knowing how the world works and the way that things change Till you lied and you lied And you lied and you lied and you lied again Till you lied and you lied And you lied and you lied and you lied again Then it was over and I will never be the same I finally wised up But the fact remains I stayed too long Then it was over And I will never be the same I finally wised up But the fact remains I stayed too long I stayed too long Shining on Tonight I'm gonna take it easy I don't wanna be down anymore It's all still a mystery to me I've forgotten what we were fighting for Every light in my mind goes shining on Every fire that died goes shining on Every setting sun goes shining on On and on and on On and on and on Do you need a resolution To understand where the pain is coming from Were you accused of things you didn't do Or were you standing in the middle of a dream coming true Every light in my mind goes shining on Every fire that died goes shining on Every star at dawn goes shining on and on On and on and on Condemnations tears and lies released from memory We will always be beautiful beautiful Condemnations tears and lies released from memory We will always be beautiful on the night we kissed in the stairwell Before we really knew each other yet It may not be easy but we need to forget All the mistakes disasters and words that should never have been spoken Every light in my mind goes shining on Every star at dawn goes shining on Every setting sun goes shining on On and on and on On and on and on On and on and on Shining on and on This lonely love I broke down on 14th street I could have been blind And you could have been anywhere in the world But I saw you in my mind In flashing colors In the middle of the night Don't they say that in the darkness everything is black and white This lonely love is all around It's up in the air and under ground But without the touch of flesh and blood This is a lonely love It's a lonely love I found myself in Brooklyn It was as real as a dream Then I went back up to Boston with absolutely nothing but a feeling This lonely love is all around It's up in the air and under ground But without the touch of flesh and blood This is a lonely love It's a lonely love How I wish I could escape the human things Don't take me for a woman I am only the song you sing I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone This lonely love is all around It's up in the air and under ground But without the touch of flesh and blood This is a lonely love This lonely love is all around It's up in the air and under ground But without the touch of flesh and blood This is a lonely love Lonely love Lonely love Lonely love Lonely love My baby... There's an open window where we are It's a beautiful night full of stars And isn't it a heavenly breeze Whispering sweetly through the screen All the little things are in place I still like to dream I still got the same face But oh my baby doesn't love me any more Hmm hmm Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Hmm hmm I just know, I just know, I just know He used to look in my eyes and talk to me But now we just have sex and watch TV And when he touches my body There's something off with the chemistry I feel him going through the motions The same ones that still breed hope in me Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Hmm hmm Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Hmm hmm I just know I just know I just know I just know Did he know me, did he know, did he ever Where does love go, when it goes It's like a white bird in the snow He used to want to make me breakfast But more and more he's sleeping in And though he doesn't want to hurt me I know he'll soon be leaving Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore I just know I just know I just know I just know My baby doesn't love me anymore Hmm hmm Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Hmm hmm Oh my baby doesn't love me anymore Just lust Is that you banging on my door at three A.M. And are you wasted again Normally I'd stay in bed So if I get up and open the door Don't let it go to your head It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you Your jealousy and insecurity can be so over the top I get so fatigued by these long emotional relationship talks I'd really much prefer my own company most of the time I never said I can't live without you baby I just said you look good tonight Normally I'd be making tracks there's only one reason I came back It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't necessarily mean that I even like you very much It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you It's just lust It doesn't mean I love you Normally I'd kick you to the curb Now I'm gone Your memoirs are so full of tension Well don't I merit a mention Tell them how you're surrounded by idiots How i was always much too stupid It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone You're holed up in your country estate surrounded by your sheep They only love you because yours is the hand that feeds But there's no stylistic variety One of us is still hungry It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone Not coming back I'm not coming back Not coming back I get no apology or a thank you or a please When I suffer your neglect it's my responsibility You lounge around your castle fingering your queen With your chairs that no one sits on And your starched and ironed sheets You have no faith in the future You don't believe But i still got the holy spirit in me It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone It was you or me so I left now I'm gone I'm not coming back Not coming back Nah nah nah nah Remember November We spoke two different languages But a touch said everything we couldn't say Translating every mystery of time and place Remember November Remember November Away in the dark you made me feel something And gave me a reason to keep trying Your hands were filled with electricity Like the moon and stars lit from within Illuminating something asleep in me Remember November Remember November Away in the dark you made me feel something And gave me a reason to keep trying A great escape from a lonely life A great escape from a lonely life Remember November Remember November Away in the dark you made me feel something And gave me a reason to keep trying Away in the dark you made me feel something And gave me a reason to keep trying Trying So alone It's late at night and you need somebody to talk to But who of all those people that you once knew And if you called just what would you say Would you break down straight away You're so alone you're so alone you want to die and nobody knows You're so alone you're so alone you want to die and nobody knows You keep leaving messages that don't say anything Like hi how's it going pretending you're ok You disguise your fear so you don't scare them away You don't wanna go to sleep because the nightmares keep you awake Your heart is beating strangely Nausea and pains throughout your body You're so alone so alone you want to die and nobody knows You're so alone so alone you want to die and nobody knows You're so alone so alone in the night when people go home You're so alone so alone you're gonna die and nobody knows You've told everyone who ever meant anything to you to please just go away So now you've got nobody what are you supposed to do It's getting late and the night is getting darker and you're fading away you're fading away And you're talking to yourself Is this really happening And I'm talking to myself Is anybody listening You're so alone so alone you want to die and nobody knows You're so alone so alone you're gonna die and nobody knows Such a beautiful girl She writes songs at night after everyone has turned out the lights Though she's still young she's had a hard life But she's not giving up believing in fate And it makes a person strong being alone for so long The family home it's like living in a war zone Holes are punched in walls but no one seems to care at all She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world They wanna knock that smile off her face So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams it's her favorite escape And she knows it can only get better so with patience she waits No one ever had her back they only laugh when she cries but in god's eyes She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world And she's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world They wanna knock that smile off her face So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams it's her favorite escape And she knows it can only get better and with patience she waits She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world Beautiful beautiful beautiful They wanna knock that smile off her face So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams it's her favorite escape Law of nature It comes around at night It's transparent in the light You could crush it with a finger And you'll do it just to watch it die Flies are feeding on someone's blood Isn't it kind of just like love Do they ever get enough Reason has no place in this vicious world And I'm heading your way Into your burning flame It's the law of nature It's the law of nature I take what i need Spit out the bones and seeds Curl up with your skin to keep me warm Reason has no chance in this selfish world I don't listen to the preachers I don't listen to the doctors I don't listen to the leaders Reason has no chance in this selfish world And I'm heading your way Into your burning flame It's the law of nature It's the law of nature I live and breath Always hungry for the heat Reason has no chance in this selfish world Reason has no chance in this vicious world And I'm heading your way Into your burning flame It's the law of nature It's the law of nature Reason has no chance in this selfish world Reason has no place in this selfish world It's the law of nature It's the law of nature It's the law of nature It's the law of nature
Peace and Love
*** Thanx a lot to John for these lyrics ***
Peace and Love You sang me into my dreams So I forgave you everything You held my hand ‘til I was asleep You checked my heart periodically With an ear to my ribcage you made sure I was still breathing Then you left when I awoke Never to be seen again I won't give up on peace and love I won't give up on peace and love I don't want to be angry It takes too much energy It's such a waste of time Falling off of this thin line I just gotta get back up Stop waiting on apologies Everything will happen if it's meant to be I won't give up on peace and love I won't give up on peace and love Don't give up on peace and love Don't give up on peace and love Don't give up on peace and love I want the ice to melt I want the sun to shine On me and my enemies I want us all to be happy I want the pain to go away I want to sleep a while I want to think of you and smile The End Of The War I'm on my way When winter comes I'll be okay again So quiet here And no more tears Just bloody memories I survived the famous fall Our injuries explain it all Empty shells on the beach like poems Cowards lie down in the tall grass Waiting for the battles to pass They'll do anything to save themselves You sent someone to fight for you But no one fought for me I advanced into the fray To kill the sorrow and the pain I was tired and so hungry At the end of the story Now I'm building strength I paid such a price to be free Why Can't We Love Each Other I feel like I'm broken I know you feel the same We're pretty damaged, fragile and afraid Why can't we love each other Why can't we love each other We both need somebody Our houses are not homes Why don't I ever see you When you live just down the road It is a choice We can make our lives a song Will it be a blues or a hymn A dirge or a psalm Why can't we love each other Why can't we love each other Life is so short what are we waiting for Why can't we love each other Why can't we love each other Why can't we love each other It could be so simple Just tell me what you want Don't keep it to yourself Don't stay shut in for too long Aren't you tired of being lonely Aren't you sick of crying your eyes out Don't you want to stick with something Are you ready for forever now Why can't we love each other Butterflies I'm trying to get through this night Without any help from anyone I close my eyes and try to breathe After a while I drift off to sleep And then I see butterflies everywhere Landing on my palms and in my hair So fragile and beautiful Like all the souls of people So easily broken Wings can be torn apart by a hard rain A red red rain A red red rain Butterflies Everywhere Landing on my palms And in my hair What Is Wrong What is wrong Why can't you sleep What is your trouble Don't you miss your dreams Can't you find a reason to keep believing What is wrong You need to eat Didn't you hear me I swore I'd never leave Can't you find a reason to keep believing What tears you up and breaks you down When I wake will you be gone You're disappearing Slipping away Why can't this be as easy as it is to breathe Can't you find a reason to keep believing I don't need a reason to keep believing What is wrong Why can't you sleep Why are you still doubting I swore I'd never leave Evan Evan, I've never been the same since the day I hit my forehead On the doorframe when I jumped over you and out of the bed To answer the phone in my mother's room. There was blood but I was all smiles ‘cause I was in love. The mourning doves were waking up. Now people tell me you're a casualty But that's just a story they've heard. ‘Shafts of light dart down between the trees' Can't speak to you in spoken words. Oh if we could only be but we could never be. Evan, we're burned by the same sun wherever you are, wherever I run. I've never been completely anywhere. I never could count on anyone. I've tried to write you off but I can't so I'll give it up. Evan, I just love you, I guess. Let's Go Home The leaves are turning to yellow orange and red The Street is like a painting You should see it Baby I'm sorry Come back with me Let's go home I made the bed for you I stocked the fridge with food I swept under the couch I haven't seen the mouse The dog is dreaming The radiator's clanging Same old everything But something is missing Baby I'm sorry Come back with me Let's go home I love you so much But a love I can't touch I'm trying to let go And breathe real deep and slow The train is so lonely when you've got nobody At the other end Hold my hand again Don't let go They're just little bumps in the road I Picked You Up There's nothing worse than a sad man alone Who came from nothing and said he is done A hotel is just a temporary home Go out into the light now I picked you up ‘Cause maybe I'm what you need You didn't know it But you were saving me, too Let's make some music and talk everything through I picked you up ‘cause I needed you You fell in with a guy and a girl Over coffee your story made her cry You stopped looking you stopped hoping you stopped sleeping Very well But don't say you didn't try I picked you up ‘Cause baby I'm what you need Maybe you didn't know it but you were saving me, too Let's make some music and talk everything through I picked you up ‘cause I needed you You walked out the door and down the street And you fell On your phone I was suddenly there Out of the blue and into the red I saw your face and I knew it I picked you up I know who you are ‘Cause I know who I am And my friend, I'm taking you home with me Where you can finally sleep I picked you up Faith In Our Friends Love comes and goes out the window Lovers ask too much You're always not something enough Or you're just ‘too' - too honest, too mad, or too blue But your friends think you're just right the way you are They don't hold it against you if you got a stormy heart And if you find that you've lost all hope in men You can still have faith in your friends That last one really let you down He stuck you in that place alone He was weak when he needed to be strong He never visited and he never even called And he knew how hard it was for you You promised yourself that you wouldn't fall for the wrong guy And now you need someone to pull the needle from your eye Every time I say I can't go through this again I go back to my faith in my friends There for you in the middle of the night With blurry eyes You're grief-stricken But you can curse and cry with no consequences or conditions Your friends think you are right just the way you are They don't hold it against you if you got a stormy heart And if you find that you've lost all hope in men You can still have faith in your friends You promised yourself that you wouldn't fall for the wrong guy And now you need someone to pull the needle from your eye Every time I say I can't go through this again I thank god for my faith in my friends I'm Disappearing My bluest veins are hidden by what I'm wearing My palest skin is almost transparent It feels like a bird of prey could take me away I'm disappearing I'm disappearing I'm afraid this heart beats too slow I have failed to make myself known Still I fight with all my strength down to the bones I'm disappearing I'm disappearing I'm losing again I just nod my head And refuse everything From here in my bed A heavy heart must shed its weight For the life that's bound to escape I'm losing again I just nod my head And refuse everything It's my punishment I'm disappearing I'm disappearing Dear Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Why do you taunt me The war you're in is all in your head Oh my god it must be terrible To be too scared to sign your name And too ashamed to show your face Oh what did they do to you to make you this way Dear Anonymous Do you think the sun shines on everyone but you But can't you see I'm nobody too I'm just singing into the void, just trying to say my piece/peace I thank god I got no real enemies I killed them all with kindness so we could live in peace Dear Anonymous, Too scared to sign your name, your name
There's Always Another Girl Change The World If I believed in luck I would go up to the roof Gamble on the moon being full Like I had something to lose I was gonna change the world But I'm not gonna change the world I was gonna change my ways But I have not changed If I had faith in me and you Like I used to I'd call on Jesus To carry us back to the tour bus And take us to the hard edge of the earth We were gonna change the world But we're not gonna change the world And I was gonna change my ways But I have not changed I'm still the same I put my hands in my gloves And I grip my cup Good things came my way And I didn't have to pray Taxicab In a swerve on a curve See an opossum through the glass I'm dizzy in the back Can you please tell me where I'm at Taxicab Going so fast Take me back Taxicab Let up on the gas Bring me back How did I get here I smell burning leaves I don't recognize the scenery I don't think I'm ready I can't find my money This is not where I thought I would be Taxicab You're going so fast Bring me back Taxicab Let up on the gas I think I wanna go back Pink hearts and green rivers Orange cones and red deserts Black birds and white snow And graveyards and stone walls And hard sounds and something That's sparkling on the ground Rain drops and lightning And a girl on a bike She is sneaking out tonight A wet plastic bag Hanging from a tree branch And a dog with no collar Taxicab You're going so fast Taxicab You're going so fast Taxicab It's going too fast Gone like that Don't Wanna Dance I feel like lying down I don't feel like jumping around I'm so tired and it's so late And fights are gonna break out I don't wanna get up I don't think I'm drunk enough Oh why can't you see that it's not easy for me to be me No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance Gotta gotta gotta gotta go home now No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance It's too bad and the music's too loud I can't shake my problems away Do they really think it's gonna be okay The driving beat is like a hammer to my brain Perfume, cologne and sweat and pheromones Getting all over their telephones Oh flashing lights might bring on an epileptic seizure No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance Gotta gotta gotta gotta go home now No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance It's too dark and the music's too loud No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance Gotta gotta gotta gotta go home now No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance Back away back away and sit down No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance I gotta gotta wanna wanna go now No no no no no no no I don't wanna dance It's too bright and the music's too loud There's Always Another Girl People love it when a beautiful woman self-destructs Like a tiger in a cage or a bug under glass People point but don't touch But beautiful boys get away with so much They get away with murder They can be wasted and dirty and cruel ‘Cause they know there's always another girl And you want her You want her, you want her You really want her Oh she's a mirage In the desert She's like water Boys geniuses can be ugly and fat But they don't cut their girls any slack Girls are advised to not think about the future or the past It matters not where they came from Or whether or not they endure What matters is if they can make all heads turn ‘Cause there's always another girl You want her You want her, you want her You really want her You're hot and you're thirsty And you're in the desert And she's like water She smiles until her face is petrified and begins to crack She wraps her hands in plastic bags at night She wants to preserve what she has And you want her You want her, you want her You really want her You're hot and you're bothered and you're thirsty And you're in the desert And she's like water They pluck their hairs one by one And stand on their heads It's no fun They cut their skin And it hurts to know There's always another girl Don't you love it when a beautiful woman self-destructs Candy Wrappers In the arms of another You always have trouble sleeping It never feels like heaven It never seems like a sweet thing And the night is long You want to jump into the heart of a song Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor This passion is poison It only brings you shame Dropped and broken Never see this place again Run like hell Will everybody just stop trying to tell me not to Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor You know the reasons But knowing doesn't change anything You still can't let anybody ever touch you where they hurt you You just want to feel better Again and again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the floor Someone Else's Problem She left her stuff and took off While you were on the road She finally decided You are someone else's problem The old guitar on the wall Precariously hung And when it falls it will become somebody else's problem Everybody closed their doors and turned away They don't need you They shut their eyes and try to sleep But in their dreams they will see you Bills don't stop coming in So you just stop paying them The cost has now become somebody else's problem Your itchy skin and dirty feet You scratch at them until they bleed The heart that doesn't beat is someone else's problem Everybody closed their doors and turned away They don't need you They shut their eyes and try to sleep But in their dreams they still see you You blew it all very well by yourself And everybody knows that every hell is someone else's problem Make your bed, jump in it Let the candle burn until The nightmare has become somebody else's problem Everybody close your doors and turn away Everybody close your eyes and turn away Everybody close your doors and turn away Everybody close your eyes and turn away Sex And Drugs She was a virgin until you She was something to do She was a canvas ready to be Painted full of misery and disease Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs Younger girls love to please She brings you chocolate chips to eat You have got such sweet teeth You lost a couple recently Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs You have done everything You are not touched by anything Not by longing, regret, or shame Or love or sun or rain Or sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Or sex and drugs, sex and drugs Or sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs Sex and drugs, sex and drugs… Stray Kids Where we come from They leave their young On their own By the side of the road In the milkweed We split them open And release the seeds Never saved Never healed Never tell how you feel Keep it all to yourself All the things you can't help House is empty And locked from inside We got no key And we're hungry We climb up roofs We break windows To get in We're shivering Never saved Never healed Never tell how you feel Keep it all to yourself All the things you can't help Over the rain There is blue sky Every new day Brings some new fight After the rain There is clear sky Every new day Turns back to night Never saved Never healed Never tell how you feel Keep it all to yourself All the things you can't help Failure Standing in the yard Counting the leaves Waiting for a lightning bolt To bring me to my knees Will I be let down By the sunshine and the earth and the clouds Lying on the couch With a tabloid magazine How to keep the dream the alive Gotta do it for the money If I say it a hundred times Can I learn to believe the lie Don't believe in promises It won't happen unless it does Don't believe in miracles Some problems cannot be solved Shooting blades of grass Shadows move so fast All the things I thought I knew Now where do I go and what do I do Failure, failure, failure, failure, failure Failure, failure, failure, failure Vagabond She seems so free Sleeping under the stars Getting clean in the ocean Hitch a ride in somebody's car Vagabond, vagabond, vagabond Where'd you come from And oh when it's cold Where will you go Find an empty house But the fire won't start Your jacket is feeling thin And your boots are splitting open Vagabond, vagabond, vagabond Where'd you come from They'll pick you up And they'll pass you around They'll find you wine-stained And frozen on the ground Where will you go When you're all alone Vagabond, vagabond, vagabond Where'd you come from And where will you go And Again In the arms of another You always have trouble sleeping It never feels like heaven It never seems like a sweet thing And the night is long You want to jump into the heart of a song Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor This passion is poison It only brings you shame Dropped and broken Never see this place again Run like hell Will everybody just stop trying to tell me not to Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor You know the reasons But knowing doesn't change a thing If you still can't let anybody ever touch you where they hurt you You just want to feel good Again and again and again and again And again and again and again Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the hotel room floor Candy wrappers All over the kitchen floor Candy wrappers All over the bedroom floor Batteries You lay down to start a song With headphones on the drug goes straight to your heart But very soon the music stops Shot you down right at the most important part The batteries are dead Totally dead The batteries are dead Completely dead You left your phone in my car I watched it move across the seat and then nothing Was somebody wanting you We'll never know 'cause I threw that phone out the window The batteries are dead Totally dead The batteries are dead Completely dead This is a test The war is coming This is where we rest Before reloading Again and again Like blazing sunshine Heads hit the wall Explode and rewind Totally dead The batteries are dead Completely dead The batteries are dead Totally completely dead The batteries are dead Completely fucking dead The batteries are dead Completely dead Wasting Time Don't need to know your name Come on let's slip away We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time Your place or mine We're wasting time Beautiful sister With the golden hair You're like the flowers Sweetening the air We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time Your place or mine We're wasting time Losing precious time Minutes rushing by Think that you can love me Before you know Don't make me explain the emptiness inside I'll draw you a picture while you drive We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time Your place or mine We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time We're wasting time Your place or mine We're wasting time Thousands Of Guitars Now your standards change with poverty Certain things become luxuries So drive yourself down to the pawn shop There's nothing to cry about There are thousands of guitars All over the world So shake off that sorrow, shame and self-pity Your '69 SG was never a necessity The Beatles and Stones and Raspberries Will always be there to remind you of what will always be Thousands of guitars all over the world Millions, even All over the world Stop holding on The rest have all been sold Give her a kiss goodbye Then just let her go Don't you know that they never really die There's no graveyard or heaven in the sky There'll be one for you when you can They're everywhere They just change hands Thousands of guitars Hold on to your soul Never give it away And you'll always be all right

Left some food warped up In a plastic bag On the kitchen table Way too long I sat down to eat Next to the bag I was too tired To throw it out I saw a swarm of fruit flies I took the bag downstairs When I came back They were still there Flying jerky patterns Like snowflakes in the air I'm sorry You've got nowhere to go I'm sorry You've got nowhere to go Left straight right straight I can't find a reason I know I'll keep going but I can't find a reason Nothing looks right Nothing smells right And I can't land Geometric patterns Smearing out of control Only have enough gas left For the beercan to the bowl What can you do but go on What can you do but go on What can you do but go on Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot bring them back to you Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot measure up to you Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot bring them back to you Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot measure up to you Closet by

Sweet Is The Night
( Electric Light Orchestra )
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run And the people of the city have all lost and won In your city dress, you stand and stare And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair And the light that shines Paints a trace of sadness on the street And I wait But I can't seem to get to you Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier 'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait So you move along where it's going on And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness in your eyes that cry Wishing and hoping, oh Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Dark, dark were the days They disappear Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Well, you did your thing and you lost your wings And you hurt so bad, you lost everything And the tears that fall on the city wall Will fade away Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin With the rays of morning light that shines Paints a smile across your pretty face I know everything is alright Alright Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Dark, dark were the days They disappear Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Dark, dark were the days They disappear Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Now you are near
Do I Wait
( Ryan Adams )
Do I want to say the things I say When I know that they are wrong Do I wait here forever for you Would you ask me to I've been waiting here, all night If you're not going to show We're not gonna fight I could stay, forever if I tried Surrounded by things Like a shadow in the light Do I try and stay still for you And the clowns who park here Fill the emptiness of the room Do you watch me from the corner of your eye Do we say goodbye Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I waited in the ways For you to appear But you're never coming back You're never gonna feel Like we did, I waited all night I tried to let you go Like a shadow in the light Do I wait Do I wait Do I wait For you Do I wait here forever for you Did you ask me to
Friend Of Mine
( Liz Phair )
Not a lot of patience, you're not a patient man Don't have the heart to stay with You get it while you can Just because you can Get out of it And I wasted your time denying That that's the reason we fight all the time It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Gonna take a vacation Stop chasing what I lack Am I gonna get blown off As soon as I get back On another track Without you 'Cause I don't have the heart to try One more false start in life It's been so hard to get it right, it seems like The moment I catch up, the farther you fly And I wasted your time denying That that's the reason we fight all the time It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine And I wasted your time, didn't I And that's the reason we fight all the time It's been so long since you've been a friend to me It seems like I dreamed and now I'm waking up to daylight What happened, when did you let go of me I miss you so badly It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine

Wild Animals
Sleep It's hard to get to sleep with all the pictures in my head You're so far away but in my dreams I'm in your bed Rolling over Going under I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake All the deserts, all the oceans, it all feels the same It's too much or it's not enough, I circle 'round again Soften my senses Dull every edge Light's going down now Patience June 6th I was sitting in my car Looking at the house I was in the audience I was standing in the back of the club They're selling the house Something's gone I can't find What I left in the basement How long has it been gone I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I like dreaming Where everything is new And nothing has been decided upon Like how you feel or what to do Something's lost The life you wanted to live Let me leave Don't listen to me Don't go away again Don't go away again Don't send me away again I won't send you away again Spit in the Wind Feet in the sand Head in the sky Made another plan Changing your mind I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Throw it to me Come inside Prove you don't need me to decide Secrets to keep Until I die Spit in the wind Don't apologize Show it to me Come inside Prove you believe Or I will decide When you reach out And no one's there I might be gone But you will survive Parking Lots They cut you open to get at your heart Sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not Like a bad memory lodged in your mind With your eyes taped shut, metaphor for blind When you were coming out roads were closing up Fugitive kindness and love like raindrops It was so much more than the physical Na na na na na na na na na na na na na Don't break down 'til you get to the parking lot Keep it together until you're in your car Betrayed by the promise of a child That took away half your smile I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake This is not where you thought youd ever be When you finally made the move to leave So many questions still remain So many metaphors for pain They cut you open to get at your heart Sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not Like a bad memory lodged in your mind With your eyes taped shut, metaphor for blind When you were coming out roads were closing up Fugitive kindness and love just like raindrops It was so much more than the physical Na na na na na na na na na na na na na Don't break down 'til you get to the parking lot Keep it together 'til youre safe in your car Betrayed by the promise of a child That took away half your smile This is not where you thought you'd ever be When you finally made the move to leave So many questions still remain So many metaphors for pain I can't cry when I'm singing Open my eyes Made something to find Dog On a Chain You can't take it anymore So put me out the back door And slam it hard shut I watched you clean up after me I cut myself and let it bleed All over your favourite rug The one you love It's Persian Don't ever let me out of here Just bring me back some souvenirs From the world Something I can tear apart Paper, plastic, flesh or heart I will destroy everything if I'm set free So don't untie me I had to set these boundaries Or I'll run into the street And get run over by an s.u.v. I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I bark and growl and drool and snap Take both hands and pull me back By my neck I must stay in the fenced-in yard Scratching myself ‘til I'm raw I'm always hungry for something For broken skin I never get any satisfaction I had to draw these boundaries 'Cause I'll run into the street And get run over by an s.u.v Hurt Me Hurt me Hate me Make me want to leave Bait me Hook me Maybe let me breathe All night long What went wrong Hurt me Kick me When I'm on my knees Break me Hit me Hard so I can't leave I'm sweating all night And there is no breeze And I'm burning on fire Why won't you set me free I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Hurt me, hate me, make me want to leave Turning and tossing and praying for a breeze Sing me nightmare lullabies In my bed My head spins I'll never be just what you want I'll never dance I'll never move the way you want me to Hurt me Hate me Make me want to leave I'm sweating all night And there is no breeze And I'm burning on fire Why can't you set me free Hurt me Hate me Let me breathe Tracks Every time I leave my house Everything falls apart Things that I thought Move like raindrops Wash my mouth out with soap Or maybe I just won't talk The line that I draw It won't be crossed Oh I know that I will always be okay Everybody leaves Everybody leaves Everybody leaves tracks I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Not gonna leave I'm not gonna leave I'm not gonna leave tracks Weighed down by history Pacts that we made Well I've not made any promises today In puddles at my feet People I believed I'm skipping down the street Away Oh I know that I will always be okay Oh I know that I will always be okay Everybody leaves Everybody leaves tracks Everybody leaves tracks Everybody leave my house Everybody leave my house... Push Pin The records on the player and the cat is on the phone You take your longest finger and you stick it deep inside the hole I hear your voice and I'm a born-again whore You blow smoke up my nose and you never close the door Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Exploding hearts Bite my tongue Sugar blood Take a four-minute vacation That's all I need to get me off I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake A four-year headache Made me crazy Now you're back You're my crack I don't wanna Please don't make me go back Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Why do you have to know what's always going on in my head It's angry dogs and broken lines Are you still a tornado Real time is just too slow Slow No, no, no Let's go Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Take the push pin out of my cranium Or So They Say There is a hotel Over in mission hill And it's decent place to stay Or so they say I always stayed away I heard it was dangerous But they've cleaned up mission hill Or so they say But I don't know 'Cause all I know It never changes In this room And every day is exactly the same Love is alive its real People are breaking through Having emotional moments That don't destroy you Sounds coming from upstairs Music and dancing feet I'm welcome to join the party Or so they say I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake But they don't know that all I know is how to be by myself I don't know what they know I try to see so I can follow But I'm walking on eggshells on eggshells On eggshells around everyone Friends and strangers and family So I'll at ease Love Is Like the Wind Play me a song Is all I want To feel how it felt when you sang of me But it was never really mine The timing was off And it was all unfinished Love is like the wind And I can't hold on But is never really gone Like a scent in the haze Honeysuckle and lilac Memories come back My long hair is whipping across my face Then the sail goes slack And we stop moving Love is like the wind And I can't hold on And is never really gone Places you went in your head Somebody else came and saved you I wanted it to be me But I had no claim I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Love is like the wind And I can't hold on And is never ever bound Is never really gone Never really gone Never Beg I told you where I needed to go I told you where I needed to be My life has just begun I will have everything I want But you wouldn't take me Take me seriously I found the secret to love I found the secret to life I found the secret to happiness It's in my hands The truth is your secret That no one can tell you You have to live through it You'll never get it out of me The feelings that go deepest Are not for sharing My greatest intentions Are never ending I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I got through every night Without any help from anyone You have to learn how to say no You have to learn how to say no You have to learn how to say no You have to learn how to say no You have to learn how to say no You have to learn how to say no Or he won't love you tomorrow
