Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the street again
Turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take me fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
(pre chorus)
No,no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
Cause I'm hot, young, running free
A little bit better than I use to be
(chorus)
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause I'm alive
Live wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm alive wire
I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my way at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take mt fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
(pre chorus)(chorus)
Come on baby
Gotta play with me
Well I'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
(chorus)
Come on be my baby
Come on tonight
Come on love me baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
You want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you
Come on tonight

Once divided, nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
Caught a bolt of lightnin'
Cursed the day he let it go
Nothingman
nothingman
Isn't it something?
Nothingman
She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened, took the other side
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
One just escapes, one's left inside the well
And he who forgets will be destined to remember
Nothingman
Nothingman
Isn't it something?
Nothingman
Oh, she don't want him
Oh, she won't feed him
After he's flown away
Oh, into the sun
Ah, into the sun
Burn
Burn
Ah, burn
Nothingman
Nothingman
Isn't it something?
Nothingman
Nothingman
Could've been something

oh...ohh...ohh.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
1. Well, it's all of fair and handsome girl,
She's all in her tender years.
She fell in love with a sailor boy,
It's true she loved him well.
For to go off to sea with him
Like she did not know how,
She longed to see that seaport town
Of Canadee-i-o.
2. So she bargained with the sailor boy,
All for a piece of gold.
Straightaway then he led her
Down into the hold,
Sayin', "I'll dress you up in sailor's clothes,
Your jacket shall be blue.
You'll see that seaport town
Of Canadee-i-o.
3. Now, when the other sailors heard the news,
Well, they fell into a rage,
And with all the ship's company
They were willing to engage.
Saying, "We'll tie her hands and feet, my boys,
Overboard we'll throw her.
She'll never see that seaport town
Called Canadee-i-o.
4. Now, when the captain he heard the news,
Well, he too fell in a rage,
And with the whole ship's company
He was willing to engage,
Sayin', "She'll stay in sailor's clothes,
Her color shall be blue,
She'll see that seaport town
Call Canadee-i-o.
5. Now, when they come down to Canada
Scarcely 'bout half a year,
She's married this bold captain
Who called her his dear.
She's dressed in silks and satins now,
She cuts a gallant show,
Finest of the ladies
Down Canadee-i-o.
6. Come, all you fair and tender girls,
Wheresoever you may be,
I'd have you to follow your own true love
Whene'er he goes to sea.
For if the sailors prove false to you,
Well, the captain, he might prove true.
You'll see the honor I have gained
By the wearing of the blue."All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."0 -
There's a cross on the side of the road
Where a mother lost a son
How could she know that the morning he left
Would be their last time she'd trade with him for a little more time
So she could say she loved him one more time
And hold him tight
But with life we never know
When we're coming up to the end of the road
So what do we do then
With tragedy around the bend?
Chorus:
We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
Today we remember to live and to love
We live we love
We forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
Today we remember to live and to love
There is a man who waits for the tests
To see if the cancer has spread yet
And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?"
If I could have the time back how I'd live
Life is such a gift
So how does the story end?
Well this is your story and it all depends
So don't let it become true
Get out and do what we are meant to do
Chorus
Waking up to another dark morning
People are mourning
The weather in life outside is storming
But what would it take for the clouds to break
For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway
So get our heads up out of the darkness
And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet
And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders
And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up
Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living
Chorus (to fade)0 -
Woke up this morning, the house was cold
checked the furnace she wasn't burning
went out and hopped in my old ford
hit the engine but she ain't turning
given each other some hard lessons lately
be we ain't learning
we're same sad story, that's a fact
one step up and two steps back
bird on a wire outside my motel room
but he ain't singing
girl in white outside a church in june
but the church bells, they ain't ringing
I'm sitting here in this bar tonight
but all I'm thinking is
the same old story, same old act
one step up and two steps back
it's the same thing, night on night
who's wrong, baby, who's right
another fight and I slam the door on
another battle in our dirty little war
when I look at myself I don't see
the man I wanted to be
somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught, movin one step up and two steps back
there's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sending
mmm, she ain't looking too married
me, well, honey, I'm pretending
last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
the music was never ending
we danced as evening sky faded to black
one step up and two steps back
one step up and two steps back"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."0 -
Head Over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
(chorus)
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is think and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
(repeat chorus)
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took you so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
(repeat chorus)0 -
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is
There's no one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
Lover Lay Down..
DMB
Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover’s hands
Kiss me won’t you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Don’t be us too shy
Knowing it’s no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you
Oh please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hands your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger
A million reasons life to deny
Let’s toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover’s side
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Oh please oh please
Please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep lover lay down
Cause it’s over lover lay down
Say love, say love, say love, say love, say love
Could I love you
Could you love me
Darling it’s all the same
’til we dance away
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Say......."This here's a REQUEST!"
EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns

This is the definition of my life
Lying in bed in the sunlight
Choking on the vitamin tablet
The doctor gave in the hope of saving me
In the hope of saving me
Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain now
Dusty brown boots in the corner
By the ironing board
Spray on dust is the greatest thing
Sure is the greatest thing
Since the last since the last
Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain now
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
The rain the rain the rain now

"Times Like These"
In times like these
In times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes
And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes
And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
Action,Reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for war
And god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like these
And times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes
But somehow I know it won't be the same
Somehow I know it will never be the same.0 -
I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
Oh what a contrast you were
To the brutes in the halls
My timid young fingers held a decent animal
Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days were long
Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed
We tied them into knots
And to finally fly apart
We had to cut them off
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkardly cast
That even I could be the star
I don't look back much as a rule
And all this way before murder was cool
But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay
Warm light on a winter day
Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days go slowly by
Two loose kites falling from the sky
Drawn to the ground and an end to flight.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
Then again, that might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
And now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around, oh no
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here, and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yeah, I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here, and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you will find
Well, I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
Oh, but I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here, and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same (every day)
Every day is exactly the same (there is no pain)
There is no love here, and there is no pain (every day)
Every day is exactly the same (every day is the same)The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides0 -

Was just gonna post this, searched the thread first. What an amazing song! Great for singing in the car!! My 3 yr old sings "You're Beautiful" with me :-) . Also love "No Bravery", guess I'll search for that one to post."Don't turn away from possible futures unless you're certain you have nothing to learn from them."0 -
Take "No Bravery", It was written in Kosovo in 1999, while James was a reconnaissance officer in the British army.On patrol around Pristina, he kept his guitar bolted to the outside of his tank. But in quieter moments, it came out, as he wrote about life as a 22-year-old peacekeeper in the aftermath of one of the decade's bloodiest civil wars.
(from: http://www.jamesblunt.com/reviews/biog.html )
"No Bravery"
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness."Don't turn away from possible futures unless you're certain you have nothing to learn from them."0 -
3 SPEED
got a 3 speed and banana seat
sitting back on the sissy bar
went to sev and got a drink
wish i was driving in daddy's car
and i looked up at the sky last night
and i thought i saw a bomb
and why won't you just tell me what's going on?
riding down on springhill road
meeting alfred out in the woods
dogs bark and mosquito's bite
scratching the itch that makes it feel good
and i looked into the mirror last night
all i saw was a pretty blonde
and why won't you just tell me what's going on?
life is funny
but not ha ha funny
peculiar i guess
you think i got it all going my way
then why am i such a fucking mess?
want a pony and a birthday cake
want a party with a scary clown
kneel down and bow to the princess
kneel down for the queen of the town
and i looked up at the sky last night
and i thought i saw a bomb
and why won't you just tell me what's going on?
tell me what's going on0 -
Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have
Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we shared and the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
and the bad time that we've had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
and the bad times we know will come
Yeah
I need some fine wine
and you, you need to be nicer
you need to be nicer
you need
For the good times
and the bad time that we had
Sit
Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog
Sit.'Go easy, step lightly, stay free!'

THE NERVE TATTOO
It’s just an itch beneath the skin
I can’t get it out or seal it in
I can’t dislodge the need to scratch it
screaming from it’s root
it’s an echo inside my head
a need to say what can’t be said
it’s the nerve tattoo,such a bad rash
spiteful and divine
but thats OK
it doesn’t matter anyway
it’s still those with the least to say
that will be heard...
ah,the elloquence of trash
the persuasiveness of cash
rings true like the whispered lies
of half-forgotten lullabyes;
designed to please ,
designed to soothe
designed to shift amillion units or two
designed to mean nothing at all
for anyone
but that’s OK.........etc
it’s no misunderstanding
it’s all emptiness and words
I’d cut my veins to paint it as
beautifully meaningless-
picturesque and absurd
....it’s a masterpiece I heard.

When your summer days come tumblin' down
And you find yourself alone
Then you can come back and be with me
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Listen to the sound
Of this old heart
Beating for you
Yes I miss you
But I never want to hold you down
You might say
I'm here for you
When the winter comes to your new home
And snowflakes are fallin' down
Then you can come back and be with me
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Listen to the sound
Of this old heart
Beating for you
Yes I miss you
But I never want to hold you down
You might say
I'm here for you
In the spring protective arms surround you
In the fall we let you go your way
Happiness, I know will always find you
And when it does, I hope that it will stay
Yes I miss you
But I never want to hold you down
You might say
I'm here for you
Yes I miss you
But I never want to hold you down
You might say
I'm here for you
I'll always be here for you"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."0 -
dilate
life used to be life-like
now it's more like show biz
i wake up in the night
and i don't know where the bathroom is
and i don't know what town i'm in
or what sky i am under
and i wake up in the darkness and i
don't have the will anymore to wonder
everyone has a skeleton
and a closet to keep it in
and you're mine
every song has a you
a you that the singer sings to
and you're it this time
baby, you're it this time
when i need to wipe my face
i use the back of my hand
and i like to take up space
just because i can
and i use my dress
to wipe up my drink
i care less and less
what people think
and you are so lame
you always disappoint me
it's kinda like our running joke
but it's really not funny
i just want you to live up to
the image of you i create
i see you and i'm so unsatisfied
i see you and i dilate
so i'll walk the plank and i'll jump with a smile
if i'm gonna go down
i'm gonna do it with style
and you won't see me surrender
you won't hear me confess
'cuz you've left me with nothing
but i've worked with less
and i learn every room long enough
to make it to the door
and then i hear it click shut behind me
and every key works differently
i forget every time
and the forgetting defines me
that's what defines me
when i say you sucked my brain out
the english translation
is i am in love with you
and it is no fun
but i don't use words like love
'cuz words like that don't matter
but don't look so offended
you know, you should be flattered
i wake up in the night
in some big hotel bed
my hands grope for the light
my hands grope for my head
the world is my oyster
the road is my home
and i know that i'm better
off aloneIf you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
