Artist: Stockard Channing Lyrics
Song: There are Worse Things I Could Do
There are worse things I could do,
than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks
I'm trashy and no good I suppose it could be true,
but there are worse things I could do I could flirt
with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes.
Press against them when we dance,
make them think they stand a chance
and then refuse to see it through,
that's the thing I'd never do. I can stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right, take cold showers everyday,
and throw my life away, on a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy,
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I cry
In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you,
that's the worse thing I could do.

Lyrics
The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
:(
:(
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of, does she look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Ooh babe ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love leaves, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need
When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
i have not been home since you left long ago
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.
Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
One Cup

She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her,
Or sings songs without her
She's just so mmm
She knows the world is just her stage
And so she'll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave her
Man, they practically made her
Into a mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her
Or sings songs about her
She's just so mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about it
So maybe we shouldn't talk about
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn’t get to sleep last night ’till the morning came around.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one’s named sweet anne marie, and she’s my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff’s on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I’ll spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee
The first one says she’s got my child, but it don’t look like me.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

"every show is a great show. bitches...." --twolegsyield
To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three - fold utopian dream
You do something to me
That I can't explain
So would I be out of line, If I said
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care
And I miss you

Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'Cause they know
Who is righteous, what is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'Cause deep down
We are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
my lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
It's been a month and a day since i've heard myself talk
all the advantage this life's got on me
picture an empty cup in the middle of the sea
and i fight back in my mind
never lets me be right
i got memories i got shit
so much it don't show
oh i walked in line when you held me in that night
Oh I walked in line when you held all that night
an empty shells seem so easy to crack
I got questions I don't know who the hell I'm every going to ask
so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
and i stare you back
oh blue eyes, i've seen it
if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me, yeah..
but i walked the line when you held me in that night
oh i walked the line when you held my hand that night
oh i walked the line when you held me close that night
i paid the price never held you in real life
my lips are shakin'
Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all (hang-ten outta santa fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go)
and he's always practicing his cowabunga call (cowabunga)
but he'll never scramble when the big waves start to roll
cause there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
the kids always know that gremmie's talk is cheap (ride the hula-han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl)
oh they just try to ignore this ugly creep (cowabunga)
his board is always full of dings
cause he's always doing stupid things
and there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Oh, please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go...fuck...
Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...Please...
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please...oh...
Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
Please, please, please...
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please...Don't you want me...don't go on me...
Please...don't go on me..
Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got
Five Years - Bowie *
lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
You might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words
I can't find one
To make you understand
It's not too late
Take up the cup
Put down your weapons and choose
But you say," life's so unfair"
All you say is "life's so unfair."
Oh you can ill afford to hold to these views
Oh you need someone to blame
But it's you, yes it's you
It's your truth
Someone made you
I don't know if you're sick
I comfort. You runaway
My sympathy. You twist it.
You're reflex. Gets in the way.
You Mother me. I son you.
You act up. I can't get through.
These footsteps so ancient.
In your eyes I'm your infant.
Your ancient. Full circle.
In my eyes You're my infant.
Dead ball in our court
We've got a deadfall in our court
You just say, "life's so unfair."
You just say, "life's so unfair."
You need something to blame
But it's you, yes it's you
It's your truth
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
thought it was easy to fall in love but you you you
you're different this much i know yea you you you
it might be your guile it could be your mind
it might be the way you take your time
oh you you you
you it's you it's you you you
oh you it's you it's you you you
i never know how much to say with you you you
i like to go deep but is it safe with you you you
it might be your needs it could be your eyes
it might be the way you sympathize
oh you you you
you it's you it's you you you
oh you it's you it's you you you
you break laws and pay no fines
you get yours and then get mine
i don't think it's easy to stay in love
but you you you you
but you yes you it's you you you
you it's you it's you you you
ah you
it's you
it's you
it's you
ah you you you yes you
with you you you you ah
it's not the same without you up here
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
you can't know how it feels to be in here
all the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
playin' ain't the same without you here
we've come to hate the golden rule
cannot seem to make the dots connect
the morning light don't show you near
you can't know what it's like to bleed from here
the blackened world goes white, it goes nowhere
oooh hoo..
death ain't the same without you, dear
i make the others run and hide
new york streets seem to make it worse
all this noise inside the quiet
i can't hold on, the weight you bear
my body's broken fast, please lift me up
you can't know what it's like to be inside
your fading melodies can't beat my need
i'm not the same without you here
how can i quit to be there
sit and stare
stare..
begging for a prayer
Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes...
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken... where, I don't know?
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
And there he goes...
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles...
And he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
And now he's home
And we're laughing like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter-to-ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
Before his first step
He's off again........
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
Hey, fellas, have you heard the news? oh yeah...

"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Journey (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain)
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
Come on now, don't you want to see
This thing that's happening to me
Like Moses has power over sea
So you've got power over me
Come on now, don't you want to know
You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
You're air that, air that I can breathe
You're my golden opportunity
And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
Come on now, don't you want to see
Just what a difference you've made in me
I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
Cause I've been waiting for days and days and days
And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
I wish
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If you're gonna break down, you can break on me
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If it's gonna rain down, it can rain on me
It can rain on me
Here's one just for you, Aye. Every time I watch it I laugh my ass off.
Meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me don't beat me
Just meet me at the waffle house
I'm a mouse from Ecuador
You're a duck and you're a duckie whore
You like to suck duck dick all day
I like to suck mouse dick all day too
That don't mean I am a jew
I am a rat bastard and I'm a rapper
That's a crapper
But ya know what?
My rhymes are fluent so I don't wanna lie
I just wanna give you a pizza pie
And say, "That's amore!"
That's a whore-A
Suck my dick all in it's glory
It's only 3 inches but that's okay
You could fit it in your throat....peace
And you don't have to worry about anything
It's a nice, tiny, little package
And ya know what?
It's all yours for the small price of $29.99
So let's go do some lines
Or we can not do drugs
And we can just chill out with my thugs
From Westchester, the best chester
We've got all the honkies in the world
We like to take little girls on the zone coaster
And then put 'em in the toaster until they're nice and brown
Until they hear the nice sound of me rhymin'
On timin'
And I said I want the diamonds
I want the duckets
I want the buckets
I wanna just say, "fuck it, mom"
I don't wanna go to bed
Let me stay up another hour
I'll take a shower in the mornin' before I go to school
Mama, why you such a fool?
Why you gotta play me?
I ain't gay, G.....my dad is
That's why he likes to fuck with other men
That's why he looks like a little hen
That's why he likes to fuckin' say he knows about Yen
Why he's never been to Japan
So take the frying pan and slap me with it
Man, that's what you wanna do
I know...I learned it from you dad
I learned it from you
That's why I do this
That's why I drink Cris
That's why I drink piss from old businessmen
When they piss in my mouth and treat me like you dad
Like you, you, you
I wanna be a jew like Sammy Davis, Jr.
Oh my god....I like Jr. Mints
Let's talk about that for a second
Before I fuckin' wreck it
I wanna eat butter pecans
And I wanna change my name to Stan the Man
And I want a golden hen for my birthday
Daddy, I want the golden goose
Daddy, I want a golden moose
Daddy, I want you to nail me in the caboose with your fuckin' console
I wanna Ronsole, oh Ronsole
I hate you Ronsole
I hate when I make up new words
But I don't hate when I make up new birds
That's a flying Pikamoonununu
That's a flying Plukalakalaka
Oh new birds I love thee
Oh I love money and I love Sunny D
Fuck the grape stuff or the purple stuff or the nurple stuff
I just want the orange stuff
I want the white stuff in my hair
I don't use Nair on my back
But I'm a monkey and I get funky
And I'm a junky but that's sooooo gravy
Like a train
Like the insane motherfucker from New York
Come with it while I spit it
While I get with it
I'll fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up for you
For you and your crew
And I'll just say it's so breezy easy
I like peezy.....it's a funny word
I like funny words
I like funny words
Amen.
Letter to Hermione - The Song
Words and music by David Bowie.
Lyrics
The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
we get high in back seats of cars
we break into mobile homes
we go to sleep to shake appeal
never wake up on our own
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
we go out in stormy weather
we rarely practice discern
we make love to some wierd sin
we seek out the taciturn
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
try it out its like nothin' you ever seen
you sweet talk like a cop and you know it
you bought a new bag of pot
so lets make a new start
cause thats the way to my heart
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
we get high in back seats of cars
we put faith in our concerns
fall in love aw down on the street
we believe in the soul of ourselves
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.
I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.
Eerie whispers
Trapped beneath my pillow
You won't let me see
Your memories
And I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
Where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
One of my favourites fury. Here's another one I love
In the arms of sleep
sleep will not come to this tired body now
peace will not come to this lonely heart
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
i need you tonite
i steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
cause i'll always miss her wherever she goes
and i'll always need her more than she could ever need me
i need someone to ease my mind
but sometimes a someone is so hard to find
and i'll do anything to keep her here tonite
and i'll say anything to make her feel alright
and i'll be anything to keep her here tonite
cause i want you to stay, with me
i need you tonite
she comes to me like an angel out of time
as i play the part of a saint on my knees
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
suffer my desire
suffer my desire
suffer my desire for you

Song: There are Worse Things I Could Do
There are worse things I could do,
than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks
I'm trashy and no good I suppose it could be true,
but there are worse things I could do I could flirt
with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes.
Press against them when we dance,
make them think they stand a chance
and then refuse to see it through,
that's the thing I'd never do. I can stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right, take cold showers everyday,
and throw my life away, on a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy,
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I cry
In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you,
that's the worse thing I could do.

Lyrics
The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
:(
:(
That is why I'm singing
" Love Bites "
If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of, does she look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Ooh babe ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love leaves, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need
When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
i have not been home since you left long ago
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.
Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
One Cup

She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her,
Or sings songs without her
She's just so mmm
She knows the world is just her stage
And so she'll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave her
Man, they practically made her
Into a mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her
Or sings songs about her
She's just so mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about it
So maybe we shouldn't talk about
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
Fortunate Fool ~ Jack Johnson
Didn’t get to sleep last night ’till the morning came around.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one’s named sweet anne marie, and she’s my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff’s on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I’ll spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee
The first one says she’s got my child, but it don’t look like me.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
~~Friend of the Devil-Grateful Dead
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three - fold utopian dream
You do something to me
That I can't explain
So would I be out of line, If I said
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care
And I miss you

...YOU invented it!" ~ E√

And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'Cause they know
Who is righteous, what is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'Cause deep down
We are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Cherub Rock ~ Smashing Pumpkins
my lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
It's been a month and a day since i've heard myself talk
all the advantage this life's got on me
picture an empty cup in the middle of the sea
and i fight back in my mind
never lets me be right
i got memories i got shit
so much it don't show
oh i walked in line when you held me in that night
Oh I walked in line when you held all that night
an empty shells seem so easy to crack
I got questions I don't know who the hell I'm every going to ask
so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
and i stare you back
oh blue eyes, i've seen it
if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me, yeah..
but i walked the line when you held me in that night
oh i walked the line when you held my hand that night
oh i walked the line when you held me close that night
i paid the price never held you in real life
my lips are shakin'
and he's always practicing his cowabunga call (cowabunga)
but he'll never scramble when the big waves start to roll
cause there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
the kids always know that gremmie's talk is cheap (ride the hula-han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl)
oh they just try to ignore this ugly creep (cowabunga)
his board is always full of dings
cause he's always doing stupid things
and there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
Oh, please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go...fuck...
Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...Please...
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please...oh...
Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
Please, please, please...
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Don't go on me
Please...Don't you want me...don't go on me...
Please...don't go on me..
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got
Five Years - Bowie *
~it is shining it is shining~
You might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words
I can't find one
To make you understand
It's not too late
Take up the cup
Put down your weapons and choose
But you say," life's so unfair"
All you say is "life's so unfair."
Oh you can ill afford to hold to these views
Oh you need someone to blame
But it's you, yes it's you
It's your truth
Someone made you
I don't know if you're sick
I comfort. You runaway
My sympathy. You twist it.
You're reflex. Gets in the way.
You Mother me. I son you.
You act up. I can't get through.
These footsteps so ancient.
In your eyes I'm your infant.
Your ancient. Full circle.
In my eyes You're my infant.
Dead ball in our court
We've got a deadfall in our court
You just say, "life's so unfair."
You just say, "life's so unfair."
You need something to blame
But it's you, yes it's you
It's your truth
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
thought it was easy to fall in love but you you you
you're different this much i know yea you you you
it might be your guile it could be your mind
it might be the way you take your time
oh you you you
you it's you it's you you you
oh you it's you it's you you you
i never know how much to say with you you you
i like to go deep but is it safe with you you you
it might be your needs it could be your eyes
it might be the way you sympathize
oh you you you
you it's you it's you you you
oh you it's you it's you you you
you break laws and pay no fines
you get yours and then get mine
i don't think it's easy to stay in love
but you you you you
but you yes you it's you you you
you it's you it's you you you
ah you
it's you
it's you
it's you
ah you you you yes you
with you you you you ah
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
you can't know how it feels to be in here
all the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
playin' ain't the same without you here
we've come to hate the golden rule
cannot seem to make the dots connect
the morning light don't show you near
you can't know what it's like to bleed from here
the blackened world goes white, it goes nowhere
oooh hoo..
death ain't the same without you, dear
i make the others run and hide
new york streets seem to make it worse
all this noise inside the quiet
i can't hold on, the weight you bear
my body's broken fast, please lift me up
you can't know what it's like to be inside
your fading melodies can't beat my need
i'm not the same without you here
how can i quit to be there
sit and stare
stare..
begging for a prayer
Jason
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes...
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken... where, I don't know?
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
And there he goes...
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles...
And he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
And now he's home
And we're laughing like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter-to-ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
Before his first step
He's off again........
No Doubt/ Talk Talk
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
Jason

Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully
Journey's Faithfully written by Jonathan Cain
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
This thing that's happening to me
Like Moses has power over sea
So you've got power over me
Come on now, don't you want to know
You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
You're air that, air that I can breathe
You're my golden opportunity
And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
Come on now, don't you want to see
Just what a difference you've made in me
I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
Cause I've been waiting for days and days and days
And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
I wish
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If you're gonna break down, you can break on me
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If it's gonna rain down, it can rain on me
It can rain on me
Moses ~ Coldplay
Meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me don't beat me
Just meet me at the waffle house
I'm a mouse from Ecuador
You're a duck and you're a duckie whore
You like to suck duck dick all day
I like to suck mouse dick all day too
That don't mean I am a jew
I am a rat bastard and I'm a rapper
That's a crapper
But ya know what?
My rhymes are fluent so I don't wanna lie
I just wanna give you a pizza pie
And say, "That's amore!"
That's a whore-A
Suck my dick all in it's glory
It's only 3 inches but that's okay
You could fit it in your throat....peace
And you don't have to worry about anything
It's a nice, tiny, little package
And ya know what?
It's all yours for the small price of $29.99
So let's go do some lines
Or we can not do drugs
And we can just chill out with my thugs
From Westchester, the best chester
We've got all the honkies in the world
We like to take little girls on the zone coaster
And then put 'em in the toaster until they're nice and brown
Until they hear the nice sound of me rhymin'
On timin'
And I said I want the diamonds
I want the duckets
I want the buckets
I wanna just say, "fuck it, mom"
I don't wanna go to bed
Let me stay up another hour
I'll take a shower in the mornin' before I go to school
Mama, why you such a fool?
Why you gotta play me?
I ain't gay, G.....my dad is
That's why he likes to fuck with other men
That's why he looks like a little hen
That's why he likes to fuckin' say he knows about Yen
Why he's never been to Japan
So take the frying pan and slap me with it
Man, that's what you wanna do
I know...I learned it from you dad
I learned it from you
That's why I do this
That's why I drink Cris
That's why I drink piss from old businessmen
When they piss in my mouth and treat me like you dad
Like you, you, you
I wanna be a jew like Sammy Davis, Jr.
Oh my god....I like Jr. Mints
Let's talk about that for a second
Before I fuckin' wreck it
I wanna eat butter pecans
And I wanna change my name to Stan the Man
And I want a golden hen for my birthday
Daddy, I want the golden goose
Daddy, I want a golden moose
Daddy, I want you to nail me in the caboose with your fuckin' console
I wanna Ronsole, oh Ronsole
I hate you Ronsole
I hate when I make up new words
But I don't hate when I make up new birds
That's a flying Pikamoonununu
That's a flying Plukalakalaka
Oh new birds I love thee
Oh I love money and I love Sunny D
Fuck the grape stuff or the purple stuff or the nurple stuff
I just want the orange stuff
I want the white stuff in my hair
I don't use Nair on my back
But I'm a monkey and I get funky
And I'm a junky but that's sooooo gravy
Like a train
Like the insane motherfucker from New York
Come with it while I spit it
While I get with it
I'll fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up for you
For you and your crew
And I'll just say it's so breezy easy
I like peezy.....it's a funny word
I like funny words
I like funny words
Amen.

Lyrics
The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
That is why I'm singing
Spoon
we get high in back seats of cars
we break into mobile homes
we go to sleep to shake appeal
never wake up on our own
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
we go out in stormy weather
we rarely practice discern
we make love to some wierd sin
we seek out the taciturn
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
try it out its like nothin' you ever seen
you sweet talk like a cop and you know it
you bought a new bag of pot
so lets make a new start
cause thats the way to my heart
and that the way we get by
the way we get by
we get high in back seats of cars
we put faith in our concerns
fall in love aw down on the street
we believe in the soul of ourselves
I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

Eerie whispers
Trapped beneath my pillow
You won't let me see
Your memories
And I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
Where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
That is why I'm singing
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

In the arms of sleep
sleep will not come to this tired body now
peace will not come to this lonely heart
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
i need you tonite
i steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
cause i'll always miss her wherever she goes
and i'll always need her more than she could ever need me
i need someone to ease my mind
but sometimes a someone is so hard to find
and i'll do anything to keep her here tonite
and i'll say anything to make her feel alright
and i'll be anything to keep her here tonite
cause i want you to stay, with me
i need you tonite
she comes to me like an angel out of time
as i play the part of a saint on my knees
there are some things i'll live without
but i want you to know that i need you right now
suffer my desire
suffer my desire
suffer my desire for you
MY God..the memories of a time passed.
