With a hugely expressive voice and an arsenal of powerful songs, Martha is a beguiling entertainer and a refreshingly different, new force in music. Martha is the daughter of folk legends Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle and sister of acclaimed singer songwriter Rufus Wainwright. Born in New York City and raised in Montreal, she spent her childhood immersed in music and often performing with her parents. She took the first step in her own recording career in 1998 when she contributed her song “Year of the Dragon” to her mother and aunt's album The McGarrigle Hour. The same year she started singing back-up for her brother both live and on record. After leaving college, Martha moved to New York City and distinguished herself almost immediately. Martha released a self-titled EP as well as a four-song EP called Factory in 2002. In February 2005 Wainwright released an EP called Bloody Motherfu*king As*hole, followed by the eponymous Martha Wainwright in April to great critical and commercial acclaim. In the January 2005 issue of Mojo Norah Jones listed her as one of the “best things she heard all year.” London's Sunday Times included “Bloody Mother Fu*king As*hole” in their songs of the year and Rolling Stone called BMFA “a blistering prelude to her debut album.” Throughout her career, Martha has also contributed to albums by Dan Bern, Kate & Anna McGarrigle. Rufus Wainwright, Snow Patrol and Teddy Thompson among others. A dynamic performer, Martha was a part of the acclaimed Leonard Cohen tribute concert in May 2004 at Brighton's Dome Concert Hall. Martha also took a turn performing on film in Martin Scorsese's “The Aviator” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and contributed two songs to the soundtrack of American independent film P.S. starring Laura Linney and directed by Dylan Kidd. Martha joined her brother on his fall 2004 UK dates to rapt audiences and has also supported artists such as Cyndi Lauper and Van Morrison, Neko Case, Snow Patrol, Pete Townshend and Sean Lennon among others over the last few years. Undoubtedly her own person, with her own sense of style, Martha creates her own music with an extraordinary versatile and compelling voice. Martha is set to return with her third studio album, Come Home To Mama, via Cooperative Music in the U.S. on October 16th. The album is her first collection of original music in four years and was produced by Yuka C. Honda of Cibo Matto. Recorded earlier this year, mostly at Sean Lennon's home studio in New York City, Come Home To Mama displays the passionate angst of her 2005 eponymous debut coupled with the twisted pop of 2008's I Know Your Married But I've Got Feelings Too. Yuka and Martha have created an edgy, multi-instrumental soundscape that showcases Martha's raw, confessional poetry with undeniable style and grace. The captivating 10-song set features performances from Yuka Honda, Nels Cline (Wilco), Sean Lennon, Jim White (Dirty Three), Brad Albetta and Thomas Bartlett (Doveman). During the winter of 2009 and 2010, Martha gave birth to her first child and her mother passed away. Confronted with both joy and anger, the songs on Come Home To Mama are, at times, aggressive and forceful, but also the most reflective of Martha's songs to date. She stated, “This record is a culmination of my life experiences so far. Everything changed for me a couple of years ago and this record is a representation of that and a return to the reason I started writing songs.” Martha continued, “I've made this record as a motherless child and as a mother. Two things I had never been before. For me, it is a new beginning.” Regarding Yuka C. Honda's production, Martha stated, “Making this record was a totally different experience. Yuka's approach was very open. Sometimes I would just demo the song, singing in the closet, which served as the vocal booth, then she would build the track around that. In other instances we would jam with a few musicians and try and get a live take. I don't think I've ever sung this hard, played this hard, or tried this hard.” Come Home To Mama follows Martha Wainwright's live collection of Edith Piaf songs, Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, A Paris in 2009 and Martha has plans to tour and perform worldwide starting Nov 2012 in Europe and in North America in 2013.

Ground Floor
Don't forget Summer comes and rain falls away But the very next day it seems The snow comes to stay And you too will go just like the dog days do I'll put on my hat my gloves my scarf To keep the cold apart But there are no hats gloves scarves for the heart Just a cold wind which leaves its frosted mark Don't forget that i will always love you Just a reminder to help you pave your pathway Summer comes, fall it cools Winter it snow, spring it rains And you go But in my silly mind i've gotten married to you You're across town don't even have a clue Or these images that in ten years I'll run into you and fall right back inside of you Don't forget that i will always love you Just a reminder to help you pave your pathway Fall it cools, winter it snows Spring it rains, summer comes And you go So when will we meet next and where will it be On a platform track in an old movie Cause time moves in circles and can leave you anywhere
Hate you too
I heard that you hate me You know that I do The words that come out of my mouth And the sounds telling me I hate you too Next time you should be more careful who You're sitting next to I might know them And they can come & tell me All about you What did I do? Did I get to you? My arms, my tears, my love, my heart The ocean in my heart The drought of my heart Did it get to you? I didn't know about your fear for the ladies With the guitars & the occaisional high-heeled shoe The look in their eyes Like they need you to want them Even if you don't want to What did I do? Did I get to you? My arms, my tears, my love, my heart The ocean in my heart The drought of my heart Did it get to you? Well, I didn't realize about the scrutinizing eyes of your friends Their high standards & high commands I can tell you I hate you You can get up & go back to bed But I might run into you one of these days & knock you dead Knock you dead My arms, my tears, my love, my heart The ocean in my heart The drought of my heart Did it get to you? My arms, my tears, my love, my heart, my soul The ocean in my heart The drought of my heart Did it get to you?
The Car Song Turn the key & warm up the vehicle Window's foggy & I'm in my little bubble Some are red, some are yellow Black & blue & different colours Mine is green Let's go Let's go Let's go play footsie with the pedal Get on the road It glides underneath me Yeah, it rides so sweetly I love driving in my car In my car I can see outside I have wiped off the mirrors & they shine like glimmering glass Oh no Oh no Oh no, is that you I see? Take a left quickly Green light, go Red light, no No matter on the yellow It's so fun driving in my car In my car I can do anything Drive up & down the road Maybe listen to the radio I think I know this song Light up a cigarette Green light, go Red light, no No matter on the yellow It's so fun driving in my car Driving in my car
Door
There's a door Handle's cold Made of iron & brass And this door it used to lead Into what is now my past If you were to have opened this door It would have lead you on to a floor Where my mother had played almost 50 years before Nuts & bolts galore Croquet balls in drawers Badminton nets & racquets All Frank's undergarments Walls get built where once there weren't any there Locks get locked & door knobs fall off Wood-carved roads, chip-rock rues, so turn the screws But the weasel of my heart Late at night unlocks the lock Walks thru the wall Sits down with my mother & plays a game of ball Nuts & bolts galore Croquet balls in drawers Badminton nets & racquets All Frank's undergarments There's a door Handle's cold Used to lead me into what is now my past
Precious smiles
Some scratch their heads or squint their eyes All this time in precious smiles Dedicated to this same guy I don't know why myself He was wearing a ball cap & glasses I usually hate ball caps with glasses But I fell in love with him Some might find him shy or goofy as sin I don't why, but I do love him Let's take a plane or cast a sail Ride or ride by, walk or by rail Talk about the reasons or the turning seasons Baby It's our anniversary today One year this little May You didn't get my anything, but that's okay Neither did I you along the way Does your mother like me? My mom's angry with you She caught on that all of her money was going Straight from me back to you Did you get the job that we talked about? Do you like the food that I put in your mouth? Can I borrow your sweater while I go out? Baby Some tell me that I should try Pretty boys that'll make me cry Or the more violent type that will make my blood run with fright But I think that I'm stuck on you I think you're a star Baby, I love you Baby, I love you Baby, I love you
Laurel & hardy I wrote this song late last night About my brother and all his might And you would be so very kind To listen to these words i've written About the boy who seems quite smitten But like no other you will find Cause baby i know the reasons why we were unkind He's laurel he's hardy he's the life of the party And he's got great taste in furniture Wakes up at noon plays the piano til he swoons Goes out for food Cause baby i know the reasons why we were unkind But i gotta know why Three years before me you came out and cried Boy not a girl where'd you get all that pride You are so very thin and i've always wanted to fit into your pants Photogenic at first glance but got something missing for romance We share a mother we do and a daddy too Home on querbes avenue and a melancholy mood With a rhapsody in blue Cause baby i know the reasons why we were unkind First born son, son of a gun I love you even more than when the song was begun First born son, son of a gun I love you even more than when the song was begun
Gone-to-sea
It's all right Life's struggle's gone You're understood And you can stop the fight You will go to the sea Leave & take your flight I will stay at home Walk the streets And search the night For the inspiration The guiding sun caught my eyes I don't know what I will find I hope it's good, like your kind So, go ahead & take the night Make the move And steal the night In case they ask, I'm 5'8" It's not dyed & I'm real nice I'll take the step & lose the shirt Be in your videos with the drain on ice So play the keys & sing the songs About the boys that you could've But not quite Mommy's, Daddy's, Sister's, lovers got you in their minds all the time But I am trying to get you out Make what is within what is mine So go ahead & take that pen Your newfound life God knows it's got the price It's got the price And the price is right It's all right Life's struggle's not gone And you're kind of understood And you can't stop the fight You will go to the sea Leave and take your flight
Wandering eyes
Would you care not standing so close I've got a promise that I gotta keep And I can't host The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss It's too dangerous & would be a mess Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply But when things get so goddamn deep One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak And grasp for air & want to be free Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply Wandering eyes can bring so much fault Especially when they wander too far from their home And meeting other wandering eyes When all those are only just a fight So would you care standing away from me I don't want to be set free I have realized now that everything is a compromise And the grass is no greener on the other side Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply If there were an elixir I'd find the mixture And I'd make myself a pitcher And I with he So very deeply
Question of etiquette
Met you for the first time late last week Came to dinner, it could've been bleak But I held back Held myself on track Question of etiquette Or maybe just regret Noticed your blond hair Your blue eyes too I might have seemed quiet, a little shrewd I didn't wanna touch you You seemed so new But you looked just like me Eighteen years ago Now I don't know where your mommy met my daddy It doesn't matter, it might be shady But I like you, maybe you'll like me And we can pretend that we are a family I live up North with my Mom Somewhere that your new Daddy's not around But you can't blame the situation on your parent's intuition And you're not a fool You're only two There's another one, oh in fact two For altogether Daddy's really good We got a sister named Lucy And her momma's really pretty And we all love each other And one day, you too I got a brother you might want to meet He can be yours, it's really kinda neat I hope my mother doesn't pull a fit She always thinks this stuff is bullshit There'll be Christmas & holidays Weddings & funerals Met you for the first time late last week You came to dinner, it could've been bleak But I held back Held myself on track Question of etiquette Or maybe just regret Question of etiquette Oh Baby, there's no regret
Wanna wanna
Do you wanna wanna wanna grow up to be The kind you only wanna shut up And if time runs through your veins And causes you nothing but pain You're just like the rest of us You're just like the rest of us You're just like the rest of us You're just like the rest of us My mama told me to get to bed To get my beauty sleep But one day you get up And there's nothing left of your week Just like the rest of us Just like the rest of us Just like the rest of us Just like the rest of us Time goes by & then you realize Doesn't matter who you're crying for It's all just a big surprise And you're left outside the door And you're left outside the door Do you wanna wanna wanna know why I ain't ever gonna die Cause I'm too young to think about it And too old not to try Not like you Not like you Not like you Not like you Time goes by & then you realize Doesn't matter who you're crying for It's all just a big surprise And you're left outside the door And you're left outside the door

Tower Song We had visions in the night I was scared and you held me tight It was like we were in black and white As clear as day, as dark as night And the truth became a lie There was no longer peace of mind Just fear of the unknown and the unkind And then when he undressed me And took my body I was resolute to being fine Now the soldiers are all on fire And our hearts are dead from desire And when you say it has nothing to do Nothing to do with you, you're a liar Now the sky is filled with dust Of those we loved and those we lost Rebuild the tower Make it last longer Make it stronger Give up your power
Hearts Club Band There was that song you wrote About the king who went broke It was the story of you From the point of view of your death bed blues And you will never believe in me again Until that final day when you You sign, you sign out in that questionable way You always wrote a song a day And there were always words And it made me want to say "Shut up" I'm in the Hearts Club I'm in the Hearts Club Band And I'm not ever ever coming back I ride on the back of your life But I never take your advice You were cruel in a different way than I was used to And you have the funniest smile I've ever seen You look, you look better under water Where my eyes can't see The details in the face of who you pretend to be You always wrote a song a day And there was never room for yesterday's news I'm on the back end of you I'm in the Hearts Club I'm in the Hearts Club Band And I'm not ever ever coming back I'm in the Hearts Club I'm in the Hearts Club Band And I'm not ever No I'm not, no I'm not Ever ever coming back
So Many Friends And the children's eyes they turn As I walk away I am becoming their prey And the firelight it burns in your eyes There are times you despise me Oh you criticize me I have lost so many friends I have gained so many memories I can change the colors of the night The hum and the drum they sound the same When you're tapping the same vein And I have noticed lately that the time that you took To look at my face has gone without a trace Oh you despise me I have lost so many friends I have gained so many memories I have lost so many friends I have gained so many, so many enemies Over the years things disappear But once in a while you call my name In you you've got the loving touch I live and breath for the rush Oh when we touch, oh there's a rush When we touch I have lost so many friends I have gained so many memories I have lost so many friends I have gained so many, so many So many, so many enemies
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night Comes a knockin' at my door There's a limousine outside And I know who it's for And I've heard it being read And I heard it being said Oh that the comfort in your head And I wonder if it doesn't create A sense of shame In the middle of the night Comes a knockin' at my door There's a limousine outside And I know who it's for And you're leaning on your will in your heart As you walk to the top of the hill And you hope the will in your mind Does not jump from the edge to decline With a sense of shame It was a time before the last And we did not give up And I threw you on the ground And we did not get up And I don't know why And I don't know why But the tears in your eyes It made me want to cry With a sense of shame It was a time before the last We did not make up And I threw you on the ground And we did not get up But I don't know why And I don't know why There's something in your eyes It made me want to cry With a sense of shame You meet me heather deep I bury your heart on my knees All the time In the middle of the night Comes a knockin' at my door There's a limousine outside And I know who it's for
The George Song
You came over And we, we made out on my tiny couch We did not make love But decided to make trust You played the captain And I will, I will never understand Why you love the beef heart More than you could love the common man You never made it You never made it to the moon We've all been wait Been waiting for you Oh yes it's true Everybody loved you When they told me that you had Finally committed the crime I decided that you were Fundamentally unkind You never made it You never made it to the moon We've all been wait Been waiting for you Oh yes it's true Everybody loved you And you call and you call and you call Oh take me down And make, and you make, hold me down Oh it's true, everybody loved you You never made it You never made it to the moon We've all been wait Been waiting for you You never made it You never made it to the moon We've all been wait Been waiting for you Oh yes it's true, it's true, it's true...
Niger
What, what would I do If I can't have you If I can't have you What, what If I can't have you Here, here I am On this black river Dotted in time And the mangroves They grow Like our love Stronger than the time spent Down in the valley below Take, take my hand And push to the side And come inside And your hair it grows Around your ears Like a mysterious pose That's music To my fears, that will follow the years Down to the valley below Why did you come in the night You hardly like me You like people strong and free That's not like me I am caged in chains Of my own sad nature How do you changes so fast Like my face in the looking glass I hardly recognize it
Jimi Sometimes I feel like there is no one No one at all That life is a myth And I won't be missed When I'm gone But they say that you are no one Without the people Who love and know you around And sometimes I feel like my Dad For leaving her sad and alone In this big house These are the thoughts that I have When I'm alone at home in my bed And I get scared And it takes up so much time And it makes up for nothing And it takes up so much time And it makes up for nothing And some people ask why I can't Remember the past There is this dead woman in my lane She's eating my brain Her skin is soft and white and bright Against the night There is this man in my house When I'm not there He says he knows me from somewhere And it takes up so much time And it makes up for nothing And it takes up so much time And it makes up for nothing

I wish I were
I can hardly move And I sure can't groove And I can hardly see why I'm so afraid And the days are long I can't get rid of what's wrong It's plain to see But the problem is, is, is in me I wish I were A singer A dancer Dancing for your love Am I somewhere in the middle Do I count at being special Is there a sincerity in anything I say Do I know what anything means Can I see I listen to the radio Not music but the talk shows I watch a lot of PBS and BBC I don't want to meet the press I'm scared, I'm scared of what I see The only thing I recognize Is the pain in my side And the hunger that I feel Is the only thing that is real I wish I were A singer A dancer Dancing for your love
Love is a stranger ( Eurythmics Cover ) Love is a stranger in an open car To tempt you in and drive you far away I said love is a stranger in an open car To tempt you in and drive you far away Well love, love, love is a dangerous drug You have to receive it But you still can't get enough of the stuff And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession Love is a danger of a different kind To take you away and leave you far behind I said love is a danger of a different kind To take you away and leave you far behind It's savage and it's cruel And it shines like destruction Comes in like the flood It seems like religion It's noble and it's brutal It distorts and deranges And it wrenches you up And you're left like a zombie And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession It's guilt edged glamorous And sleek by design You know its jealous by nature False and unkind It's hard and restrained And it's totally cool It touches and it teases As you stumble in the debris And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession
Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, à Paris La Foule Je revois la ville en fête et en délire Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie Et j'entends dans la musique les cris et les rires Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras T'aimes bien le copier coller, moi non Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne, nous entraîne Écrasés l'un contre l'autre Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps Et le flot sans effort Nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre Et nous laisse tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance et qui danse Une folle farandole Nos deux mains restent soudées Et parfois soulevés Nos deux corps élancés s'envolent Et retombent tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire Me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires Quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Nous éloigne l'un de l'autre Je lutte et je me débats Mais le son de sa voix S'étouffe dans les rires des autres Et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage Et je pleure Entraînée par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Je suis emportée au loin Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole L'homme qu'elle m'avait donné Et que je n'ai jamais retrouvé Adieu Mon Cœur Adieu mon cœur. On te jette au malheur Tu n'auras pas mes yeux Pour mourir Adieu mon cœur Les échos du bonheur Font tes chants tristes Autant qu'un repentir Autrefois tu respirais le soleil d'or Tu marchais sur des trésors On était vagabonds On aimait les chansons Ça a fini dans les prisons T'aimes bien le copier coller, moi non Adieu mon cœur On te jette au malheur Tu n'auras pas mes yeux Pour mourir Adieu mon cœur Les échos du bonheur Font tes chants tristes Autant qu'un repentir Un repentir Une Enfant Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans Une enfant du printemps Couchée sur le chemin Elle vivait dans un de ces quartiers Où tout le monde est riche à crever Elle avait quitté ses parents Pour suivre un garçon, un bohème Qui savait si bien dire "je t'aime" Ça en devenait bouleversant T'aimes bien le copier coller, moi non Et leurs deux cœurs ensoleillés Partirent sans laisser d'adresse Emportant juste leur jeunesse Et la douceur de leur péché Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans Une enfant du printemps Couchée sur le chemin Leurs cœurs n'avaient pas de saisons Et ne voulaient pas de prison Tous deux vivaient au jour le jour Ne restant jamais à la même place Leurs cœurs avaient besoin d'espace Pour contenir un tel amour Son présent comme son futur C'était cet amour magnifique Qui la berçait comme d'un cantique Et perdait ses yeux dans l'azur Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans Une enfant du printemps Couchée sur le chemin Mais son amour était trop grand Trop grand pour l'âme d'une enfant Elle ne vivait que par son cœur Et son cœur se faisait un monde Mais Dieu n'accepte pas les mondes Dont il n'est pas le Créateur L'amour étant leur seul festin Il la quitta pour quelques miettes Alors, sa vie battit en retraite Et puis l'enfant connut la faim Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans Une enfant du printemps Couchée sur le chemin Morte L'accordéoniste La fille de joie est belle Au coin de la rue là-bas Elle a une clientèle Qui lui remplit son bas Quand son boulot s'achève Elle s'en va à son tour Chercher un peu de rêve Dans un bal du faubourg Son homme est un artiste C'est un drôle de petit gars Un accordéoniste Qui sait jouer la java Elle écoute la java Mais elle ne la danse pas Elle ne regarde même pas la piste Et ses yeux amoureux Suivent le jeu nerveux Et les doigts secs et longs de l'artiste Ça lui rentre dans la peau Par le bas, par le haut Elle a envie de chanter C'est physique Tout son être est tendu Son souffle est suspendu C'est une vraie tordue de la musique T'aimes bien le copier coller, moi non La fille de joie est triste Au coin de la rue là-bas Son accordéoniste Il est parti soldat Quand il reviendra de la guerre Ils prendront une maison Elle sera la caissière Et lui, sera le patron Que la vie sera belle Ils seront de vrais pachas Et tous les soirs pour elle Il jouera la java Elle écoute la java Qu'elle fredonne tout bas Elle revoit son accordéoniste Et ses yeux amoureux Suivent le jeu nerveux Et les doigts secs et longs de l'artiste Ça lui rentre dans la peau Par le bas, par le haut Elle a envie de gueuler C'est physique Tout son être est tendu Son souffle est suspendu C'est une vraie tordue de la musique La fille de joie est seule Au coin de la rue là-bas Les filles qui font la gueule Les hommes n'en veulent pas Et tant pis si elle crève Son homme ne reviendra plus Adieux tous ses beaux rêves Sa vie, elle est foutue Pourtant ses jambes tristes L'emmènent au boui-boui Où y a un autre artiste Qui joue toute la nuit Elle écoute la java Elle entend la java Elle a fermé les yeux Et les doigts secs et nerveux Ça lui rentre dans la peau Par le bas, par le haut Elle a envie de gueuler C'est physique Alors pour oublier Elle s'est mise à danser, à tourner Au son de la musique Arrêtez Arrêtez la musique Le Brun Et Le Blond Dans ma p'tite vie y a deux garçons Y en a un brun et puis un blond Qui m'aiment tous deux à leur manière Le brun a l'air triste et sérieux Et le blond rit de tous ses yeux J'crois bien qu'c'est l'brun que je préfère Il est plus jeune, il est plus beau Il a une belle couleur de peau Un coeur tout pur, plein d'choses toutes belles Oui mais le blond n'a qu'à s'amener Avec son air de rigoler C'est pour lui qu'j'ai envie d'être belle Le brun me parle très gravement De son amour, de ses tourments Avec une belle voix qui chante T'aimes bien le copier coller, moi non Il dit qu'il se tuerait sûrement Si je ne l'aimais pas tout le temps Ou si un jour j'étais méchante Ça m'impressionne, ça me fait tout drôle C'est vraiment lui qui a l'beau rôle Y a pas à dire, c'est lui qui m'aime Quand j'parle au blond d'se suicider Y m'dit "non, tu veux rigoler" Mais j'aime bien l'embrasser quand même Ça s'est passé en plein mois d'août On n'y a rien compris du tout Il était v'nu boire de la bière Quand il a eu vidé son bock On a entendu un p'tit "toc" Ah, la patronne était pas fière Il était là, tranquille comme tout Avec au front un tout p'tit trou Mon Dieu, que cette histoire est bête C'était mon blond qui était parti En m'laissant un p'tit mot écrit "J'ai assez ri.

Some People Some make the changes in the daylight Others make the changes in the night Some only read the rainbows Others only read the clouds in the sky I don't want to be the one to tell you that I don't love the way I used to Maybe I should leave tomorrow And set you free by the morning light I'll pack my bags of sorrow And leave 'em by the door tonight Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I don't mind the rain on my head If only I believed in God, I'd ask Him to help me find my way But I am faced with a world that does not have the words to say So I will be the one to tell you That I don't love the way I used to Glimmers of hope and time Will make it alright So let's try and make it last This one more night I don't mind the rain on my head Oh no I Wanna Make an Arrest I don't mind being left behind I no longer care where the sound is coming from I can't hear the tears in your eyes I am always, always in disguise I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And lie down in the road And you're still at home And you're still at home Pavement is changing under my feet I no longer walk with chin high or skip to the beat I need to lie down It's terminal, see I'm feelin' the pain I've got the disease Oh, I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And lie down in the road And you're still at home And you're still at home Take off your shoes And stay awhile I've been here waitin' to see your smile Summer's comin' and the night's are long I've been here listenin', cryin' to your song Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Oh, I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And lie down in the road And you're still at home And you're still at home Running against the clock Color blind all this time I went for a ride And I left your side Now I'm in the lost and found And you're not around And there's no one I can see who can help me I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And lie down in the road And you're still at home I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And pick up the phone And you're still at home And you're still at home... All Your Clothes Where've you been these days I thought I saw you underneath the vines I look for you there Makes more sense than looking to the sky I see they've cut your hair and grown between your eyes I hope your body doesn't mind the cold It always preferred the sunshine Can we pretend we're talking I'll answer for you if you don't mind The baby's doing fine My marriage is failing but I keep trying all the time Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin All your clothes I thought I could donate them to a theatre They'd make up the wardrobe To a great play a cast of characters, unknown Who never took for granted, a sight, a sound, the smell of a rose I hear you got lots of friends But I'm worried you can't hear music anymore It never occurred to me Until I heard Dr. John sing that song And you played through his fingers on the piano Honky Tonk a little stride You could even swing Maybe not, I can't remember I can't remember anything All your clothes All your clothes... Everything Wrong I do most everything wrong Even on the day you were born My husband's been lyin' and cheatin' I turned my cheek and reason I change my tune every day There is one thing I want you to be That is smarter than me If things, they don't seem right, Open your wings and take flight Don't stick around the watch the pieces fall I don't want you to feel alone But you probably will, when you are older I will try to stay alive To see as much through your eyes But one day you know I will go Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Don't listen too much to what I say Making sense has never been my way I can teach you 1,2,3 I can dance with you on repeat I can hold your hand forever Na, na, na... I can do so much, But you can do so much more I am only a stepping stone For you to get where you must go And there is nowhere I would rather be, So put your weight on me Na, na, na... I am your protector I am not your pretender I will try I will not lie I will not cry too much in front of you I have been really, really sad, Except for having you with your dad

Stars are starting, starting to shine When on the platform I didn't recognize And I'm wondering if I should've made this trip uptown We got a long way down Went to the ocean And I, I met a man I took his hand because I was falling In love as though it were quicksand We went a long way down And this memory is a fantasy Of what I was as a child But l it's getting late And I'm losing my faith I can only stay a while 'Cause you're a memory And you were never mine Went to the doctor Started to cry He gave me the drugs that would That would make me fly And I took off Like my wings were so on fire I went a long way down Help and participate instead of copy and paste I'm starting to die And I forgot to live I was too caught up in what you What you couldn't give I forgot to take What it was that's mine 'Cause you're a memory And you were never mine Will we ever make love Like we did when we were young Under the stars and sun We saw the dawn But now it's all for not And I soon forgot your name 'Cause you're a memory And you were never mine Stars are starting Starting to shine Starting to shine Starting to shine One Of Us Some of us are grief befallen Some are made to choose Some are hope incarnate Some only sing the blues This may be hard to swallow This may be hard to do This may be hard to swallow But one of us may lose Some of us will make it Some will bear the bruise Oh how this body is breaking To think I'm losing you Help and participate instead of copy and paste This may be hard to swallow This may be hard for us to do This may be hard to swallow But one of us will lose I'm gonna lay you down my gun And take the bullet 'Cause it's me that wants To run when the night comes around And my heart needs a flame to fill it I'm gonna learn to love again I'm gonna learn to love again And the sun will come up again And we'll see our bruises No one will ever win When push comes to shove On this battlefield of love This may be hard to swallow This may be hard for me and you This may be hard to swallow But one of us will lose Take The Reins How lost till a person can't be found Didn't know the cost would put me underground I see who brings this, I see who brings this Some messed up the life of the insane Cough up blood and bitter with pain But I see who brings this, it's me who brings this Oh, but if you take the reins I will never look back Oh, if you will take the reins I will never look back I give up But my body won't know how Curse my life but I'm trembling at that now I see who brings me down, down, down, down If you take the reins I will never look back Oh, if you take the reins I will never look back Help and participate instead of copy and paste I depend on you For all that I lack How lost till a person can't be found Learning how to swim with your halfway to drowned I see how low I go on my own If you will take the reins I will never look back If you will take the reins I will never look back If you will take the reins I will never look back If you will take the reins I will never look back But leave me on my own It is a one way track Francis How many hours within a day How many days within an hour I cannot tell the difference Francis When I'm with you exchanging glances How many blue skies in a year How many years of skies of blue It doesn't make a difference Francis When I'm with you the pouring rain on me enhances all Help and participate instead of copy and paste Look now you got me feeling sad Just like the chords in french songs do So let's switch back to english Francis When I'm with you the precious time so quickly passes All I notice are the seasons And that infinity lies within a second You never requested an opinion So please forgive me for my musings I'll be strong, I'll be strong I'll be strong in choosing, Francis I won't go a telling All I notice are the seasons And that infinity lies within a second Other than that I cannot tell the difference Francis When I'm with you exchanging glances
Somehow (Julia Stone / i-Tunes Bonus Track) I tell you that I want you That I've loved you for so long now I stand before you My eyes they fall to the ground I am a coward here In these feelings I've found Help and participate instead of copy and paste Somehow This day it's not mine to break And I must learn now There are some things I cannot take Somehow This time it's not mine to choose And I must learn now Sometimes it's okay to lose Desire It's burning my heart Desire It's tearing this old house apart I wouldn't change a thing I don't need to survive I wouldn't change a thing I'm gonna burn alive I make you a tea now You fall in your arms I'm feeling empty I'm feeling alone But I'm gonna stay right here I found something new Out in the darkness all alone With the light of loving you Somehow This day is not mine to break And I must learn now There are some things I cannot take Somehow This time is not mine to choose And I must learn now Sometimes it's okay to lose Desire It's burning my heart Desire It's tearing this old house apart I wouldn't change a thing I don't need to survive I wouldn't change a thing I'm gonna burn alive
LOVE WILL BE REBORN Middle Of The Lake I was never alone in the middle of the lake I was always outside of my mind And I never dreamed a dream I liked And in the common rooms I cried In rock'n'roll there's a mighty long fall Oh there's a mighty loud call I live my life in the middle of the night My breath goes up and down counting time By the light of day I fade away And in the common rooms I cry And rock'n'roll, you call my name I call me to the stage Where I sing my little songs of Love and pain, winds of change or simply singing I'm singing in the rain (Singing, singing, singing, singing, singing, singing) You make it worth living this terrible life I was burnt by the sun, frozen in ice I was dead on arrival, missing in action, living a fraction And in the common rooms the toil takes its toll And rock'n'roll, can you save my life Can you make me live forever Oh save my life Oh I sing my songs Of love and pain, winds of change or simply singing I'm singing in the rain Singing in the rain Singing Getting Older I'm getting older I need your shoulder I need your love And I need your blood I want your honey I'll take your money I'll pay you back I'll get the cash With you my life has begun I was on the run We've got the time it takes To burn out the sun And the heart's desperately undone I've been so afraid My body's burnt and laid out On a table at my wake And the radio's on It's playing my song It's the one that will take us to the end If we defend our love and our souls we mend Can you hear my words Can you feel my worth Can you read my mind And share the rest of time I was making my own bed I was picturing my death I was lost in a fire And you saved me with your desire Can you hear me now It's time to take a bow Out of this last life Born of sacrifice
Love Will Be Reborn I cried only one tear for us today And I will wipe it away before the day breaks And there is love in every part of me, I know But the key has fallen deep into the snow So when the spring comes I will find it And unlock my heart to unwind it And love will be reborn And love will be reborn I take the throne and throw away the crown And weave flowers in my hair from all around And the injustices I've heard, I will swallow And reform the words to birds to undo the sorrow And love will be reborn And love will be reborn Can you hear my heart, it's calling out your name Can you hear my heart, it's dying in your flame The city is gone, it's no longer there The walls have fallen down everywhere And love will be reborn And love will be reborn And from the ruins there will come A new moon, a new born son We'll drink the dew from the flower's hands And ride on winged back to the new land And love will be reborn And love will be born And love will be born And love will be born

Falaise De Malaise Tu n'avais aucun remord Seulement le besoin de mon corps Si jamais t'étais pour me dire Tu ne souffriras pas mon sourire On n'aurait jamais dû s'installer dans l'autre Mais ma chair est vite devenue la votre C'est ma ville Mais c'est ton style De m'arracher les droits Et de changer les lois Come on, come on, come on, tell me that you love me It was late at night when we fight Et que ma vie soit vide, se remplit de fourmis Qui me poursuivent dans la nuit It was crazy in the dark And there were lots and lots and lots of sparks Des caillots de malheur dans mes veines Du sang dans la haine, des scènes figées dans la peine Tire les canons, déchire les chaines L'orage de toi et moi Va être spactaculaire Comme les feux d'artifice dans les airs Mais ceux qui éclatent a l'intérieur Va bruler nos yeux et voler nos voeux Come on, come on, come on, tell me that you love me It was, it was late at night when we fight Et que ma vie soit remplie de fourmis Qui me pursuivent dans la nuit Je grimpe les falaises de malaise dans la nuit Remplie de pluie, remplie la nuit Tire les canons, déchire les chaines Rempli mes veines de haine

Dis, Quand Reviendras-Tu ( Barbara Cover - Bonus Track ) Voilà combien de jours, voilà combien de nuits Voilà combien de temps que tu es reparti Tu m'as dit cette fois, c'est le dernier voyage Pour nos cœurs déchirés, c'est le dernier naufrage Au printemps, tu verras, je serai de retour Le printemps, c'est joli pour se parler d'amour Nous irons voir ensemble les jardins refleuris Et déambulerons dans les rues de Paris Dis, quand reviendras-tu Dis, au moins le sais-tu Que tout le temps qui passe Ne se rattrape guère Que tout le temps perdu Ne se rattrape plus Le printemps s'est enfui depuis longtemps déjà Craquent les feuilles mortes, brûlent les feux de bois A voir Paris si beau dans cette fin d'automne Soudain je m'alanguis, je rêve, je frissonne Je tangue, je chavire, et comme la rengaine Je vais, je viens, je vire, je me tourne, je me traîne Ton image me hante, je te parle tout bas Et j'ai le mal d'amour, et j'ai le mal de toi Dis, quand reviendras-tu Dis, au moins le sais-tu Que tout le temps qui passe Ne se rattrape guère Que tout le temps perdu Ne se rattrape plus J'ai beau t'aimer encore, j'ai beau t'aimer toujours J'ai beau n'aimer que toi, j'ai beau t'aimer d'amour Si tu ne comprends pas qu'il te faut revenir Je ferai de nous deux mes plus beaux souvenirs Je reprendrai la route, le monde m'émerveille J'irai me réchauffer à un autre soleil Je ne suis pas de celles qui meurent de chagrin Mais je n'ai pas la vertu des femmes de marins Dis, quand reviendras-tu Dis, au moins le sais-tu Que tout le temps qui passe Ne se rattrape guère Que tout le temps perdu Ne se rattrape plus...

I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel The chestnut trees The wishing well I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light & gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
I Will Internalize
(Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole EP) I will internalize everything I will hold back the pain And I will count the raindrops That fall on my head From above & below And I am wet & weak I am wet & weak Cause I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes I can get used to anything As long as it's shit-stained And I will bleed on your knees And I am comfortable on my knees In the corner whispering, whispering, whispering Whispering "please" Cause I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes And the moon is lost every night When you turn on those eyes And the stars go dark too When you say those words "I love you" Cause I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes I have seen the light And it's in, it's in your eyes I have seen the light And it's in your eyes
It's Over
(Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole EP) It's over before it ever got started It's over before it ever got started It doesn't suit me to smile I might just sit here & cry a while Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder Oh babe you've got me comin' on way too strong It's over before it ever got started The girl next door can sing But she ain't in the pain I'm in I'm an artist I've even slit my wrists Oh oh breathin's getting harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting harder & harder Oh baby you've got me comin' on way too strong Oh baby I never wanted to need your love Your secret's not safe with me Oh I'll even lie to be free I'll divulge everything You can be blessed for your sins Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder Oh oh breathin's getting a little harder & harder
Lolita
(Martha Wainwright EP)
When you undress don't close the door I know you're in there Long brown legs curly brown hair The world ends here I got my eyes on you I got my eyes on you all of the time Momma's not home, we're alone Let's play house Come over here sit next to me I'll be as quiet as a mouse I got my eyes on you I got my eyes on you all of the time But don't worry Let your blood run free And pay no mind Cause me and Hummy We understand each other we got the same problem You and Lolita Hotels no kiss & tells It's been decided there'll be No more fun I got my eyes on you I got my eyes on you all of the time
New York, New York, New York
(Factory EP) Winter's coming on Only one place to be With my baby On those streets of New York in the fall No rooms to be had But I can get an add-on I haven't booked ahead Thought I had some sort of poll Certainly the money to spend But I've been walking up & down Must be some sort of trend Or just New York in the fall The Leaves are all turned to red But I can get an add-on I haven't booked ahead New York, New York, New York, New York, New York In the fall No rooms, no rooms, no rooms, no rooms Guess I'll come back in the spring Get drenched in the rain I'll see you then instead This time I'll book ahead Oh, New York in the fall Only place to be But don't blame me There just ain't no vacancy New York, New York, New York, New York, New York, New York In the fall New York, New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
One by One (Vanity of Vanities; A Tribute to Connie Converse) We go walking in the dark We go walking out at night And it’s not as lovers go Two by two, to and fro But it’s one by one One by one in the dark We go walking out at night As we wander through the grass We can hear each other pass But we’re far apart Far apart in the dark We go walking out at night With the grass so dark and tall We are lost past recall If the moon is down If the moon is down And the moon is down We are walking in the dark And if I had your hand in mine I could shine, I could shine Like the rising sun Like the sun
P.O.V. Waltz (Harry Nilsson cover / Martha Wainwright & Jim Campilongo / Songs From The Point! LP) Suddenly the strangest thing's happening I hope it's not the last time I had a drink or two, an hour or so ago It made me think of you And now I know it's not the last time Flying high up in the sky, I wonder why I think I'm gonna fall But there I go again, I'm up again, there I go again I hope this isn't all Hey, as long as we're up here We might as well stay in sweet harmony Flying high up in the sky, I wonder why I have to have another A point of view to see me through And now I think I'm gonna fall I hope this isn't all And on top of that I hope it's not the last time And on top of that I hope it's not the last time
Pretty good day
( 2003 Tour Version )
I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn I flipped a switch & the light went on I got out of bed, I put some clothes on It was a pretty good day so far I turned the tap, there was cold, there was hot I put on my coat to go to the shop I stepped outside & I didn't get shot It's a pretty good day so far I didn't hear sirens or explosions No murders coming in from those heavy guns No UN tanks, I didn't see one It's a pretty good day so far No snipers in windows, taking a peak No people panic, running scared through the streets I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet It's a pretty good day so far There was plasma & bandages & electricity Food, wood & water & the air was smoke-free No camera crews from my TV Pretty good day so far It was all such a strange sight to behold Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold The children seemed normal, they didn't look old Pretty good day so far I walked through a park & you would not believe it There in the park, there were a few trees left And on some branches, there were a few leaves It's a pretty good day so far I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn I flipped the switch & the light came on I wrote down my dream & I made it this song It's a pretty good day so far
Set the Fire to the Third Bar ( Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright - Eyes Open, 2006 ) I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The distance from here to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face My fingers in creases of distant dark places I hang my coat up in the first bar, There is no peace that I've found so far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms After I have travelled so far We'd set the fire to the third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms
Singin' the blues
Oh, Daddy, I've been weepin' Just like a willow tree Without a wink of sleepin' Where is your sympathy? All is glad round the (???) Since you said goodbye to me Oh, I'm just singin' the blues Til my Daddy comes home The meanest feeling pursues Since he left me all alone For every blue strain cuts new pain Right into my heart And I just sigh at that cryin' part It sure gets your nerves When you hear yourself moan If I got all I deserve I wouldn't be here all alone I wouldn't walk all night And sit by the window in the candlelight Singin' the blues Till my Daddy comes home I'm singin' the blues Till my Daddy comes home Don't know what else I can do Since he left me here all alone I watch & wait all night Just sittin' by the window in the candlelight Just singin' the blues Till my Daddy comes home Oh, Daddy
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my tears
Shaking like a leaf on a tree That's coming loose from the stem Shaking like a leaf on a tree Because I'm coming loose from my man I'm like a weeping willow Weeping on my pillow For years & years There ain't no sweet man That's worth the salt of my tears Down & down he dragged me Like a fiend he nagged me For years & years There ain't no sweet man That's worth the salt of my tears Although I may be blue Still I'm through I must tell him goodbye Rather than have that man Gonna lay me down & just die So, broken-hearted sisters Aggravating misters Lend me your ears There ain't no sweet man That's worth the salt of my tears Although I may be blue Still I'm through I must tell him goodbye Rather than have that man Gonna lay me down & just die So, broken-hearted sisters Aggravating misters Lend me your ears There ain't no sweet man That's worth the salt of my tears
The Rose Of Tacloban (David Byrne & Fatboy Slim feat. Martha Wainwright / Here Lies Love LP) I wrote inside my yearbook "To try is to succeed Fried chicken and the rumba The colors pink and cream" Ninoy was my first love But he said I was too tall A rich girl stole the sweetheart Of the Rose of Tacloban The heart grows slightly colder Necessary to survive And money makes it easy In many people's lives The sky above protects us Don't know what I will become Or what lies beyond tomorrow For the Rose of Tacloban Elegant women on a magazine page Elegant women like a paper parade I don't go out dancing, I just stay at home Cutting out their faces and replacing them with my own Cutting out their faces and replacing them with my own The sky above protects us Don't know what I will become Or what lies beyond tomorrow For the Rose of Tacloban What lies beyond tomorrow For the Rose of Tacloban
*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one *** The sex song
I don't even know your name Much less or shame (?) You've been comin' round my door Comin' round my door But you don't need to know much To want to feel the touch Of another human being Comin' round your door Comin' round your door Oh & maybe someday I'd like to have a baby Then you would have to Come inside my door Oh that's a metaphor Cause it's all we really need sometimes Love is tiresome at night To fornicate is much more safe It leaves you stoned, deaf, dumb, blind Always a little more high Come inside my door That's a metaphor for life Oh for life Come inside my door That's a metaphor for tonight Oh for tonight Last night I let you in That's okay, we'll cool But it's funny how the difference Rules the earth Rules the earth Oh that goes around & round That's a lot Only time we ever stop Is for that quick moment to refuel the (??) The cumshot Oh the cumshot Come inside my door That's a metaphor for life Oh for life Come inside my door That's my medicine for tonight Oh for tonight I don't even know your name
The Ship Song (Nick Cave cover / Songs For Australia compilation) Come sail your ships around me And burn your bridges down We make a little history, baby Every time you come around Come loose your dogs upon me And let your hair hang down You are a little mystery to me Every time you come around We talk about it all night long We define our moral ground But when I crawl into your arms Everything, it comes tumbling down Come sail your ships around me And burn your bridges down We make a little history, baby Every time you come around Your face has fallen sad now For you know the time is nigh When I must remove your wings And you, you must try to fly Come sail your ships around me And burn your bridges down We make a little history, baby Every time you come around Come loose your dogs upon me And let your hair hang down You are a little mystery to me Every time you come around Come sail your ships around me And burn your bridges down We make a little history, baby Every time you come around
The traitor
( Leonard Cohen Tribute ) Now the swan it floated on the english river The rose of high romance it opened wide A sun tanned woman yearned me through the summer And the judges watched us from the other side I told my mother "mother i must leave you Preserve my room but do not shed a tear Should rumour of a shabby ending reach you It was half my fault and half the atmosphere" But the rose i sickened with a scarlet fever And the swan i tempted with a sense of shame She said at last i was her finest lover And if she withered i would be to blame The judges said you missed it by a fraction Rise up and brace your troops for the attack Ah the dreamers ride against the men of action Oh see the men of action falling back But i lingered on her thighs a fatal moment And I kissed her lips as though i thirsted still And my falsity had stung me like a hornet The poison sank and it paralysed my will I could not move to warn all the younger soldiers That they had been deserted from above So on battlefields from here to Barcelona I'm listed with the enemies of love And long ago she said "i must be leaving, Ah but keep my body here to lie upon You can move it up and down and when i'm sleeping Run some wire through that rose and wind the swan" So daily i renew my idle duty I touch her here and there -- i know my place I kiss her open mouth and i praise her beauty And people call me traitor to my face And people call me traitor to my face
Tower of Song
( Leonard Cohen Cover / Tribute )
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day In the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet But I hear him coughing all night long A hundred floors above me right here In the Tower of Song And I was born like this, I had no choice I was born with the gift of a golden voice And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond They tied me to this table right here In the Tower of Song So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all I'm standing by the window where the light is strong Ah they don't let a woman kill you Not in the Tower of Song Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong You see, you hear these funny voices In the Tower of Song I see you standing on the other side I don't know how the river got so wide I loved you baby, way back when And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed But I feel so close to everything that we lost We'll never have to lose it again Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone I'll be speaking to you sweetly From a window in the Tower of Song My friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day In the Tower of Song I'm just paying my rent every day In the Tower of Song
Winter lady ( Leonard Cohen Tribute ) Traveling lady, stay awhile Until the night is over I'm just a station on your way I know I'm not your lover Well I lived with a child of snow When I was a soldier And I fought every man for her Until the nights grew colder She used to wear her hair like you Except when she was sleeping Then she'd weave it on a loom Of smoke and gold and breathing Why are you so quiet now Standing there in the doorway You chose your journey long before You came upon this highway Traveling lady stay awhile Until the night is over I'm just a station on your way I know I'm not your lover
Wolves (Feat. Rufus Wainwright) When love shares a secret with your heart It doesn't matter, it falls apart Like the flowers in the park They are not mine, they are ours They are not mine, they are ours One by one they die Like the light in your eyes Like the flowers in the dark Nothing can live without a spark (in the dark) Nothing can live without a spark (in the dark) Away, I'd rather run away (I'd rather run away) Then watch you in so much pain (I'd rather run away) But, for now, I'll stay It's the only way (so much pain) I cut my finger on a thorn (so much pain) I wake up dusty in the morn' (so much pain) And the wolves cease to weep Only when I sleep Fill the cup It's morning and it's rough I've got water my mind And weed out the strange vines Like the flowers in the rain (The flowers in the rain) They drink away their lustful shame And cool down their aching pain (In the rain, in the rain) Away, I'd rather run away (I'd rather run away) Then watch you in so much pain (I'd rather run away) But, for now, I'll stay It's the only way (so much pain) I cut my finger on a thorn (so much pain) I wake up dusty in the morn' (so much pain) And the wolves cease to weep Only when I sleep Away, I'd rather fly But I have no wings So I'll have to sing Gonna bathe the child Gotta pay the band
Year of The Dragon
( Martha's song on The McGarrigle Hour CD from 1998 )
Here comes the daddy He's gonna knock me off my feet Here comes the daddy He's gonna knock us off our feet Won't have to push too hard with me I'm at the time these days where I'm easy I will take the plunge & I will fall I'll get up when I hit the floor Falling down Watching the world rise above my head Sky opens & something somewhere Becomes dead Becomes dead Something's born Natural or environmental My freewheeling towards the emotional I will not hoard my chips I will put them all on the table I will win them back I know that I'm able I was born in the Year of The Dragon The one to prize Where everything & everybody Is on my side I've got you on my side Twenty one is a good age to be Forgiven your faults & praised For the newness of one of your ideas Some people hate me They say that I'm too free But one day soon I'll be just like them And hate people just like me So let me be Ah...
You've Got A Way
When you are gone I'll cry When you are gone I'll cry But until then I'll crack a smile I'll stay dry for as long as I can Oh baby you've got a way with me I will go home tonight And rest my head on the sight Of you for as long as I can Oh baby you've got a way with me With me And the birds fly high in the sky high And we watch them, wishing and hoping That we could be them Oh baby you've got a way with me Oh baby don't ever leave me
