Has anyone ever written anything for you In all your darkest hours Have you ever heard me sing Listen to me now You know I'd rather be alone Than be without you Don't you know
Has anyone ever given anything to you In your darkest hours Did you ever give it back Well, I have I have given that to you If it's all I ever do This is your song
And the rain comes down There's no pain and there's no doubt It was easy to say I believed in you everyday If not for me Then do it for the world
Has anyone ever written anything for you In your darkest sorrow Did you ever hear me sing Listen to me now You know I'd rather be alone Than be without you Don't you know
So, if not for me, then Do it for yourself If not for me then Do it for the world Poet...priest of nothing Poet...priest of nothing

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long, And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm, I know; It's been comin' for some time. When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day, I know; Shinin' down like water.
[CHORUS:] I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know; Been that way for all my time. 'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow, I know; It can't stop, I wonder.
Hallucinate in high fidelity The pieces of a plan Construction of the highest quality The blood from my own hand
A line of lyric looping in my head The body listening It doesn’t really matter anymore Yes it doesn’t mean a thing
I’ve gotta let go I’ve gotta get straight Why’d you have to make it so hard? Let me get away
An effigy so wondrous to behold Statements so profound A place to bury everything I did And burn it to the ground
A fire illuminates the final scene The past repeats itself I cannot tell the difference anymore I cannot trust myself
I’ve gotta let go I’ve gotta get straight Why’d you have to make it so hard? Let me get away
I’ve gotta let go I’ve gotta get straight Why’d you have to make it so hard? Let me get away
I think I could lose myself in here I think I could lose myself in here I think I could lose myself in here I think I could lose myself in here
I’ve gotta let go I’ve gotta get straight Why’d you have to make this so hard? Let me get away
Got to let him go Found another way Why’d you have to make this so hard? Let me get away

(It starts with one) One thing I don't know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time (All I know) Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away (It’s so unreal) Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on but didn’t even know I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when...
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter

Something in you brought out something in me that i've never been since that part of me that was only for you that kind of romance comes only once, that kind of love that kind of fever dance that you love because you've become someone else in an instant
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance at least give me time to change your mind that always seems to heal the wounds if i can get you to dance
Something in you put a hold on my heart it's hard to believe now here is a place that will never be dark i remember that place that kind of touch, electricity of love that certain kind of grace that you love because you become someone else in an instant
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance at least give me time to change your mind that always seems to heal the wounds if i can get you to dance

He's a man-sized Eldorado Hooved a doo And who could blame him Who could blame him Where we going? What's the ticket? Just the mention of Berlin makes me sexy it makes me sexy
And tired of thinking about drinking For thinking of drinking While thinking about drinking And thinking about drinking It's a man-sized inside
Look in here It's all hardwood What's that smell? Smells like coffee It smells like coffee If you regret it please say something I've got no genius for evil That makes me common It makes me common
And tired of loving, recovering Loving, recovering Loving, recovering Loving, recovering It's a man-sized inside

Lost and all alone I always thought that I could make it on my own Since you left I hardly make it through the day My tears get in the way And I need you back to stay...
I wander through the night And search the world to find the words to make it right All I want is just the way it used to be With you here close to me I've got to make you see....
That I'm lost without your love Life without you isn't worth the trouble of I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel A touch without a feel I can't believe it's real...
And someday soon I'll wake And find my heart won't have to break...
Yes I'm lost without your love Life without you isn't worth the trouble of All I want is just the way it used to be I need you here with me Oh darlin' can't you see... If we had love before We can have it back once more....
She used to work in a diner Never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to watch Her float across the floor She grew up in a small town Never put her roots down Daddy always kept movin', So she did too.
Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair Flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with The very air she breathes The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy You got to hold on She was an unknown legend In her time Now she's dressin' two kids Lookin' for a magic kiss She gets the far-away look In her eyes.

It's okay, we've all seen better days It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away It's okay It's okay, yeah we love you anyway
For in those reckless moments When doubt is creeping in your head Feeling like you've lost your youth And the dreams you had are cold and dead I can't reach you anymore That's gonna take a different man I can't protect you like before You've slipped beyond my hands But it's okay.......
I wish that I could light the path That leads to a life of no mistakes Hold you from the damned be done That living out of safety seems to take I remember still the child in you As if only yesterday It was easy to break through I only had to kiss the pain But it's okay.......
This is my chance, this is my life And my opening hour This is my choice, this is my voice There may be no tomorrow This is my plea, this is my need This is my time for standing free This is my step, this is my depth In a world demanding of me But is's okay.......
All I need is a friend Some one to give a helpin' hand When I'm afraid in the night Someone to squeeze me And tell me it's alright You know I worry such a lot And I would give all I've got Just to do have someone believe in me Just to do that and put me Back on evenly.
Baby, baby, be my friend Baby, baby, be my friend Baby, baby, be my friend I will love you till the end.
You make me feel A stronger love than anyone I've ever know Oh, I need someone like you You give me something so strong and true
Oh, Baby, baby, be my friend Baby, baby, be my friend Baby, baby, be my friend I will love you till the end.
Want you Baby, baby, baby be my friend I will love you I will love you till the very end
Baby, baby, baby, baby be my friend I will love you I will love you till the very end.
Baby baby be my friend I will love you till the very end

Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong It seldom turns out the way it does in the song Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right
Ramona Come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Shall pass as your senses will rise The flowers of the city Though breathlike Get deathlike at times And there’s no use in tryin’ T’ deal with the dyin’ Though I cannot explain that in lines
Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss As to be under the strength of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the minutes I’m in But it grieves my heart, love To see you tryin’ to be a part of A world that just don’t exist It’s all just a dream, babe A vacuum, a scheme, babe That sucks you into feelin’ like this
I can see that your head Has been twisted and fed By worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn Between stayin’ and returnin’ On back to the South You’ve been fooled into thinking That the finishin’ end is at hand Yet there’s no one to beat you No one t’ defeat you ’Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
I’ve heard you say many times That you’re better ’n no one And no one is better ’n you If you really believe that You know you got Nothing to win and nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem That hype you and type you Making you feel That you must be exactly like them
I’d forever talk to you But soon my words They would turn into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring Everything passes Everything changes Just do what you think you should do And someday maybe Who knows, baby I’ll come and be cryin’ to you

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored Livin' by the sword And we'd steal away every chance we could To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods I used her, she used me But neither one cared We were gettin' our share Workin' on our night moves Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues Workin' on our night moves And it was summertime
And oh the wonder We felt the lightning And we waited on the thunder Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closing in... Night Moves.....
I've seen you smiling in the summer sun I've seen your long hair flying when you run I've made my mind up that it's meant to be Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losin' game You start with fire but you lose the flame The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all I'll win your love or I'II take the fall I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down some where, it's got to be You're high above me flyin' wild and free Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me Somedaylady you'll accomp'ny me ...
Sled Dogs after dinner close their eyes on their howlin' ways Kurt cobain, reincarnated, sighs and licks his face Then they drift past strips of Seregeneti and the gates of sleepy hollow too You can pause and wonder they pause and wonder yeah I pause and wonder too Just don't wake Daddy
They can lay their heads on their futon beads so many miles from home You teach your children some fashion sense and they fashion some of their own For when policy wearing commune on the untamed land Through white sheers whispers in their ears your dammed And don't wake daddy
You can stuff you void with an asteroid that's hurtling towards the earth You can drop the bomb that restores the calm then promises rebirth Just don't wake daddy
It's a perfect time now for an electric choice They fall asleep but us now it time to hear you voice
Meet me down by the railway station I've been waiting And I'm through waiting for you The train sings the same kind of blues
Well I don't know why I always trusted Sometimes I think I must have I must have been crazy Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you I'm alright...
Please, I've been takin' my time You know, it's been on my mind I hope you find a love Your own designs of love That's alright... That's alright
I believe, I believe that I know you 'Cause we've been a long time, Now I've got to show you, that I Well, I never did beleive in time You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love like it should be That's alright, That's alright
Please, I've been takin' my time You know, it's been on my mind I hope you find a love Your own designs of love That's alright, yes That's alright....
We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk And broke in the Cap'n's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home (Hoist up the John B's sail) Hoist up the John B I feel so broke up I wanna go home Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home Why don't they let me go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told And you live in the past of a dream that you're in And your selfishness is your cardinal sin
And you want to be held with highest regard If he likes you so much If he's trying so hard And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way With a smile or a shrug Or some stolen cliche
But don't you understand And don't you look about I'm trying to take nothing from you So why should you act so put out, for me
'Cause emotionally, you're the same basic trip And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped So don't try to impress me You're just pins and paint And don't try to charm me With things that you ain't
And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress 'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less So measure for measure, reflect on my said And when I won't see 'ya then measure it dead
'Cause don't you understand And don't you look about I'm trying to take nothing from you So why should you act so put out And sit there and wonder in doubt, for me
I've been thinking lately about how I understand this idea of always having a place to go that's warm and accepting and safe for my heart. This song is a good one for that.
There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door, Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us
One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six I wanna see you I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you But it's not so bad Best night we've ever had My hangovers with you
Keeping up with me shot for shot Getting caught naked making love in the parking lot Beach cruisers to cruise the boulevard Waking up in the morning Another maxed out credit card Knowing I will never forget you Can't remember much, but who needs to? I got these memories in a tattoo And I don't regret none of it Have fun with it, pour another shot Let's see how drunk we get
One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya I'm feeling bad, best night we've ever had And the pleasure's worth all the pain Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away My hangovers with you
Well we were wasted blacked out Lying on the ground shitfaced And I can't remember last night at all But I can taste it me and you Laughing out louder than the bass is Two shots of whiskey with a chaser The morning's almost here I need a beer so I can face it Once the sun comes up and we off to the races Time spent with you, girl is never time wasted Life's a vacation, straight Chevy Chase-n
One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had, My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you But it's not so bad, best night we've ever had And the pleasure's worth all the pain Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away My hangovers with you
Headache, body ache, stomach turning I guess that's what they mean when they say You gotta earn it Bloody Mary, Sex on the Beach, no cherry Whiskey on the rocks Dirty heads on the jukebox
One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six margaritas One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six, hangovers with you
One little, two little, three margaritas Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had, My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you Cause it's not so bad, best night we've ever had And the pleasure's worth all the pain Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away (My hangovers) the pleasure's worth all the pain Cause the pain it's all the same, it's all the same My hangovers with you, you, you, you

We hate each other 'cause of race and religion We hate each other 'cause of class and position We want to know why is love so hard to come by Give me a reason why you love so hard to try
The walls between us all must fall The walls between us all must fall
We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us We hate each other for no reason at all
The wall between us all must fall The wall between us all must fall
We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry We want to know why is love so hard to come by? Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?

Once we were lovers But somehow things have changed Now we're just lonely people Tryin' to forget each other's names...
Now we're just lonely people Tryin' to forget each other's names....
What came between us? Maybe we were just too young to know
But now and then I feel the same,
And sometimes at night I think I hear you calling my name..... Mmm-hmm-mmm these dreams They keep me going these days
Once we were lovers But that was long ago We lived together then And now we do not even say hello... We lived together then And now we do not even say hello....
This is a beautiful song from Beck's new Morning Phase.
"Waking Light"
Waking light, it grew from the shadow Brace yourself to the morning low Night is gone, long way turning You've waited long enough to know
When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Lay me down in waking light
No one sees you here, roots are all covered There's such a life to go and how much can you show? Day is gone on a landslide of rhythm It's in your lamplight burning low
When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Rest your eyes in waking light
When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Open your eyes with waking light

In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song
And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world
Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.
[CHORUS:]
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.
[CHORUS]
Yeah!

The pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
The blood from my own hand
A line of lyric looping in my head
The body listening
It doesn’t really matter anymore
Yes it doesn’t mean a thing
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
An effigy so wondrous to behold
Statements so profound
A place to bury everything I did
And burn it to the ground
A fire illuminates the final scene
The past repeats itself
I cannot tell the difference anymore
I cannot trust myself
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away
Got to let him go
Found another way
Why’d you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away

One thing I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It’s so unreal)
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when...
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
to remind me
to find my own...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Something in you brought out something in me
that i've never been since
that part of me that was only for you
that kind of romance
comes only once, that kind of love
that kind of fever dance
that you love because you've become someone else
in an instant
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
Something in you put a hold on my heart
it's hard to believe now
here is a place that will never be dark
i remember that place
that kind of touch, electricity of love
that certain kind of grace
that you love because you become someone else
in an instant
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I heard you sigh.
I don't know the size of it.
Who can know?
Patriot,
Under the spell,
Maybe howlin' underground,
Ear at the dirt.
Running home with the notion in your head
Running home with the notion in your head
Shadows on the land
Whiter the whale
Nothin' is wrong
I cannot be here today
I will not be
Skull and Bones
Taking the fear
Something for a hungry mouth
Something for
Running home with the notion in your head
Running home with the notion in your head
Shadows on the land

Hooved a doo
And who could blame him
Who could blame him
Where we going?
What's the ticket?
Just the mention of Berlin makes me sexy
it makes me sexy
And tired of thinking about drinking
For thinking of drinking
While thinking about drinking
And thinking about drinking
It's a man-sized inside
Look in here
It's all hardwood
What's that smell?
Smells like coffee
It smells like coffee
If you regret it please say something
I've got no genius for evil
That makes me common
It makes me common
And tired of loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
It's a man-sized inside
He's a man-sized Eldorado
Whoopty-do
If you can't take it
If you can't take it
Where's he going?
What's that ticking?
Just the mention of Berlin
Makes me sexy
It makes me sexy
And tired of thinking about drinking
For thinking of drinking
While thinking about drinking
And thinking about drinking
Tired of loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
It's a man-sized inside
It's a man-sized inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside

I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay...
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see....
That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real...
And someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break...
Yes I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin' can't you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more....
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch
Her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin',
So she did too.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with
The very air she breathes
The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend
In her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look
In her eyes.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair

She's been runnin' half her life

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
It's okay
It's okay, yeah we love you anyway
For in those reckless moments
When doubt is creeping in your head
Feeling like you've lost your youth
And the dreams you had are cold and dead
I can't reach you anymore
That's gonna take a different man
I can't protect you like before
You've slipped beyond my hands
But it's okay.......
I wish that I could light the path
That leads to a life of no mistakes
Hold you from the damned be done
That living out of safety seems to take
I remember still the child in you
As if only yesterday
It was easy to break through
I only had to kiss the pain
But it's okay.......
This is my chance, this is my life
And my opening hour
This is my choice, this is my voice
There may be no tomorrow
This is my plea, this is my need
This is my time for standing free
This is my step, this is my depth
In a world demanding of me
But is's okay.......
i fell into...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Some one to give a helpin' hand
When I'm afraid in the night
Someone to squeeze me
And tell me it's alright
You know I worry such a lot
And I would give all I've got
Just to do have someone believe in me
Just to do that and put me
Back on evenly.
Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
I will love you till the end.
You make me feel
A stronger love than anyone
I've ever know
Oh, I need someone like you
You give me something so strong and true
Oh, Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
I will love you till the end.
Want you Baby, baby, baby be my friend
I will love you I will love you till the very end
Baby, baby, baby, baby be my friend
I will love you
I will love you till the very end.
Baby baby be my friend
I will love you till the very end

It seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
Grateful Dead -- "Scarlet Begonias"
Come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Shall pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike
Get deathlike at times
And there’s no use in tryin’
T’ deal with the dyin’
Though I cannot explain that in lines
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be under the strength of your skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I’m in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin’ to be a part of
A world that just don’t exist
It’s all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin’ like this
I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
By worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin’ and returnin’
On back to the South
You’ve been fooled into thinking
That the finishin’ end is at hand
Yet there’s no one to beat you
No one t’ defeat you
’Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
I’ve heard you say many times
That you’re better ’n no one
And no one is better ’n you
If you really believe that
You know you got
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you must be exactly like them
I’d forever talk to you
But soon my words
They would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe
Who knows, baby
I’ll come and be cryin’ to you
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in...
Night Moves.....
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've made my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll win your love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down some where, it's got to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Somedaylady you'll accomp'ny me ...
Kurt cobain, reincarnated, sighs and licks his face
Then they drift past strips of Seregeneti and the gates of sleepy hollow too
You can pause and wonder they pause and wonder yeah I pause and wonder too
Just don't wake Daddy
They can lay their heads on their futon beads so many miles from home
You teach your children some fashion sense and they fashion some of their own
For when policy wearing commune on the untamed land
Through white sheers whispers in their ears your dammed
And don't wake daddy
You can stuff you void with an asteroid that's hurtling towards the earth
You can drop the bomb that restores the calm then promises rebirth
Just don't wake daddy
It's a perfect time now for an electric choice
They fall asleep but us now it time to hear you voice
Sing to end all songs to end all songs
Meet me down by the railway station
I've been waiting
And I'm through waiting for you
The train sings the same kind of blues
Well I don't know why I always trusted
Sometimes I think I must have
I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
I'm alright...
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright...
That's alright
I believe, I believe that I know you
'Cause we've been a long time,
Now I've got to show you, that I
Well, I never did beleive in time
You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love like it should be
That's alright,
That's alright
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright, yes
That's alright....
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
And you live in the past of a dream that you're in
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin
And you want to be held with highest regard
If he likes you so much
If he's trying so hard
And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way
With a smile or a shrug
Or some stolen cliche
But don't you understand
And don't you look about
I'm trying to take nothing from you
So why should you act so put out, for me
'Cause emotionally, you're the same basic trip
And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped
So don't try to impress me
You're just pins and paint
And don't try to charm me
With things that you ain't
And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress
'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
So measure for measure, reflect on my said
And when I won't see 'ya then measure it dead
'Cause don't you understand
And don't you look about
I'm trying to take nothing from you
So why should you act so put out
And sit there and wonder in doubt, for me
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine
But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then
Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived
Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you
But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then ....
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
Four little, five little, six I wanna see you
I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had
My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
But it's not so bad
Best night we've ever had
My hangovers with you
Keeping up with me shot for shot
Getting caught naked making love in the parking lot
Beach cruisers to cruise the boulevard
Waking up in the morning
Another maxed out credit card
Knowing I will never forget you
Can't remember much, but who needs to?
I got these memories in a tattoo
And I don't regret none of it
Have fun with it, pour another shot
Let's see how drunk we get
One little, two little, three margaritas
Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
I'm feeling bad, best night we've ever had
And the pleasure's worth all the pain
Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
My hangovers with you
Well we were wasted blacked out
Lying on the ground shitfaced
And I can't remember last night at all
But I can taste it me and you
Laughing out louder than the bass is
Two shots of whiskey with a chaser
The morning's almost here
I need a beer so I can face it
Once the sun comes up and we off to the races
Time spent with you, girl is never time wasted
Life's a vacation, straight Chevy Chase-n
One little, two little, three margaritas
Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had,
My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
But it's not so bad, best night we've ever had
And the pleasure's worth all the pain
Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
My hangovers with you
Headache, body ache, stomach turning
I guess that's what they mean when they say
You gotta earn it
Bloody Mary, Sex on the Beach, no cherry
Whiskey on the rocks
Dirty heads on the jukebox
One little, two little, three margaritas
Four little, five little, six margaritas
One little, two little, three margaritas
Four little, five little, six, hangovers with you
One little, two little, three margaritas
Four little, five little, six I wanna see ya
I'm feeling bad, it's the worst I've had,
My hangovers with you, my hangovers with you
Cause it's not so bad, best night we've ever had
And the pleasure's worth all the pain
Cause the pain it goes away, it goes away
(My hangovers) the pleasure's worth all the pain
Cause the pain it's all the same, it's all the same
My hangovers with you, you, you, you
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
We hate each other 'cause of race and religion
We hate each other 'cause of class and position
We want to know why is love so hard to come by
Give me a reason why you love so hard to try
The walls between us all must fall
The walls between us all must fall
We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music
We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all
We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us
We hate each other for no reason at all
The wall between us all must fall
The wall between us all must fall
We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture
We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry
We want to know why is love so hard to come by?
Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?
Peace

But somehow things have changed
Now we're just lonely people
Tryin' to forget each other's names...
Now we're just lonely people
Tryin' to forget each other's names....
What came between us?
Maybe we were just too young to know
But now and then
I feel the same,
And sometimes at night I think
I hear you calling my name.....
Mmm-hmm-mmm these dreams
They keep me going these days
Once we were lovers
But that was long ago
We lived together then
And now we do not even say hello...
We lived together then
And now we do not even say hello....
"Waking Light"
Waking light, it grew from the shadow
Brace yourself to the morning low
Night is gone, long way turning
You've waited long enough to know
When the memory leaves you
Somewhere you can't make it home
When the morning comes to meet you
Lay me down in waking light
No one sees you here, roots are all covered
There's such a life to go and how much can you show?
Day is gone on a landslide of rhythm
It's in your lamplight burning low
When the memory leaves you
Somewhere you can't make it home
When the morning comes to meet you
Rest your eyes in waking light
When the memory leaves you
Somewhere you can't make it home
When the morning comes to meet you
Open your eyes with waking light
