What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[Roadkill]

Her hair
Soft drifted snow
Death white
I'd like to know
Why she hates
All that she does
But she gives
It all that she's got

Until the sky turns green
The grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue

Until the sky turns green
And the grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue

It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy
With this love of mine
It'll take all these things and oh much more

I've paid
For fifteen or more
But my guts
Can't take many more
My hands are stuck
To my jeans
And she knows she knows
What this must mean

She wakes up with the sun
She asked me what is all the fuss
As she gave me more than she thought she should
She wakes up with the sun
I think what have i done
As i gave her more than i thought i would, ohhh

It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy
With this love of mine

Yeah yeah yeah

The candy floss girl
The sticky fingered boy
Oh that sister of mine
Yeah

 

[Belushi]

My love and i, we work well together
But often were apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Till love breaks down, love breaks down

Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet september rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown

When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you

When love breaks down
The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you

When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down,
Love breaks down

My love and i, we are boxing clever
Shell never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town

When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down

The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex

When love breaks down
When love breaks down

Sits in his office rappin' with the rats, lookin' for excuses for his fits and spats,
makin' things worse with a cocaine brain, trying to judge the distance between pleasure and pain.
Stinks like a madman cries all the time, confident of all the answers he'll find,
don't get confused or call him paranoid-o, he just doesn't know about his mondo freudo.

sittin'on the couch he tried to pour out his heart, while the doctor yawned a bit and tried to hold back a fart
and then he lit up a cigar and just started to smoke and just thinkin' to himself that it's just a joke.

"Well I got a good job and it pays real well, and when I get home I treat the kids like hell.
Beat my wife within an inch of her life and tried to slit my wrists with a dull butter knife.
The family's real worried 'bout my carousin' and boozin' "
and the doctor lit a smoke to try to keep him from snoozin',
it was getting real lame and doc was gettin' annoyed-o and didn't give a damn about a mondo freudo.

Doctor couldn't take it anymore, cuz he was bored and just sick and tired of listenin' to a mondo freudo.
Wife and the kids whose life just hit the skids were sick and tired of gettin' pushed around and livin' in a condo with a mondo freudo.

The secretary knew that names couldn't escape her, walked down to the corner to buy a newspaper.
Back to the office, past all the bums, readin' 'bout the baby junkies in the Chilean slums
and "Wife shoots husband, twice in the head" she knew the name of the man that was dead,
he was a pain in the ass, a fly in the ointment,
wife bought a gun and he missed his appointment

madness - our house

Father wears his sunday best
Mothers tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sisters sighing in her sleep
Brothers got a date to keep
He cant hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house it has a crowd
Theres always something happening
And its usually quite loud
Our mum shes so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Something tells you that youve got to get away from it

Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
Shes the one theyre going to miss
In lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how wed play simply waste the day away
Then wed say nothing would come between us two dreamers

Father wears his sunday best
Mothers tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sisters sighing in her sleep
Brothers got a date to keep
He cant hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

 

[N_igma]

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum nor battle drum did sound it's dread tatoo
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud El Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go that small nations might be free
But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves or the shore of the Great North Sea
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew

But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the springing of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

Ah, back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more
But to and fro in my dreams I go and I'd kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled, O glorious dead, When you fell in the foggy dew.

 

[Roadkill]

Some are born to plough the fields of home
Some are born to happiness and never start to roam
I bent the bow, I Let the arrow fly
Your children go - do you ever wonder why?

Cross my heart, there's nothing I'd regret
Just that single perfect path, I haven't found it yet
Let's work it out, it's not too late to try
I said Get real, I didn't say Goodbye

'Cos I was born to tell the truth and run
Remember me, remember me
It was all for love, the crazy things I've done
Remember me, I'm still your native son
Remember me, I'm still your native son

Oh, native son
Oh, native son

Some are born to watch the years go by
Some are born to happiness, it comes as no surprise
I bent the bow, I Let the arrow fly
I said Get real, I never said goodbye

'Cos I was born to tell the truth and run
Remember me, remember me
It was all for love, the crazy things I've done
Remember me, I'm still your native son
Remember me, I'm still your native son

Oh, native son
Oh, native son

Remember me, I'm still your native son

Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun.

 

[tufty79]

I was watching
with one eye on the other side
I had fifteen people telling me to move
I got moving on my mind
I found shelter
In some thoughts turning wheels around
I said 39 times that I love you
to the beauty I had found

Well its 1 2 3 4
take the elevator
at the hotel yorba
I'll be glad to see you later
all they got inside is vacancy

I been thinking
of a little place down by the lake
they got a dirty little road leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take till we're alone
sitting on the front porch of that home
stomping our feet on the wooden boards
never gonna worry about locking the door

Well its 1 2 3 4
take the elevator
at the hotel yorba
I'll be glad to see you later
all they got inside is vacancy

You'll prob'ly say I'm silly
think childish thoughts like these
but I'm so tired of acting tough
and i'm gonna do as i please
Let's get married
in a big cathedral by a priest
coz if i'm the man you love the most
you can say i do at least

And its 4 5 6 7
grab your umbrella
grab hold of me
cause I'm your favorite fella
all they got inside is vacancy


for a, m, m, and eva luna

 

[Strumpet]

So you wanna know me now
How I've been
You can't help someone recover
After what you did
So tell me am I looking better?
Have you forgot
Whatever it was that you couldn't stand
About me about me about me?

Because...
Yes I do feel better
Yes I do I feel alright
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you got
To offer

You wanna know me now
How I've been
You can't help someone recover
After what you did
So tell me am I looking better?
Have you forgot
Whatever it was that you couldn't stand
About me about me about me?

Because...
Yes I do feel better
Yes I do I feel alright
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you got to offer
Because...
Yes I do feel better
Yes I do I feel alright
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you got
To offer

On and on and on and on and on and on and has no-one said...
Stay away, stay away... I'm better

Ye-ea-ea-ea--YES!
Ye-ea-ea-ea--YES!
Ye-ea-ea-ea--YES!
Ye-ea-ea-ea--YES!

Ada don’t talk about reasons why you don’t want to talk about reasons
why you don’t wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air

Ada put the sounds of your house in a song
try to be speechless for a minute
if you think you gonna faint go out in the hallway
let them all have your neck
Ada don’t stay in the lake too long
it lives alone and it barely knows you
it’ll have a nervous breakdown and fall
into a thousand pieces around you

Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
waiting for Ada
Ada hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air

Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall

Ada don’t talk about reasons why you don’t want to talk about reasons
why you don’t wanna talk
now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air

Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada, I’ve been hoping you know your way around

 

[Strumpet]

I never wanted to hear you say goodbye
And I wondered why
I had to let you go and dry my eyes
My weeping eyes
Try to figure what was wrong with me
what was wrong with me?
But I'm glad you're back now baby
Now that we can complete what we started

Bring it back bring it all back ,Bring it back do it like that
Bring it we got nothing to lose , I wanna see ya
Bring it back bring it all back , Bring it back do it like that
Bring it we got nothing to lose , I wanna see ya soon

It's been oh such a long time
But a change's gonna come

It's been a long time but I'm glad it's over now
We said so many foolish things and how
It's over now
And the sun came out the moment you called I'm glad you called
I'm gonna be whatever you want me
So if you wanna we can try to ........................

a song i am singing to my new home

Could you tell the enchantment I said goodbye
I met a girl called disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines
This boy drawed wings on everything

Could you tell her to check the headlines
This boy burns angels in the river
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
Bird that flys out of order
Underneath the sky

I run up to the rainbow, girl
Just to pass it by
I'll never have a change of heart
I swore I'd never sing

I have no heart this one is gone
And now I wear the wings
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were a flying
I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying

Cryin' nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes
Cryin' nobody know, nobody knows my pain
When I see that it's risen; that full moon again

For the werewolf, for the werewolf have sympathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play
All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play

For the werewolf, for the werewolf, have sympathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me

At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed

At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"


Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)


A-list, playlist
"Please them , please them !"
"Please them !"
(sadly, THIS was your life)


But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have said no
If you'd wanted to


BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them ! Please them !"
(sadly this was your life)


But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...Couldn't you ?


I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."


But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know


Who could never really know
Oh ...


Best of ! Most of !
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived


Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour ! ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium !"
(THIS was your life...)


And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet, baby


I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm


So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again ...


At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last ! - a dead star !
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No, they can never touch you now


No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again

 

[tufty79]

my media player is on shuffle tonight


i saw the song i'm trying to google lyrics for being done live. inna church.
sat under an xmas tree.
cuddling my friend miss beatrice, both full of whisky, with my head on her shoulder, holding each others hands, seeing mr staples being hot, through a gingery mist of her hair...

except there aren't any lyrics i can find online.
it was 'the turns we took', by tindersticks.

instead, i'm putting on this:
for dr. b.
my mum always wanted me to marry a doctor. sort your life out, and get back to me...



There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out?
If I tremble in your arms
If I sigh through your hair
This last affair
There's no more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out?
If my hand's by my side
If I avoid your stare
This last affair

There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out?

If I tremble in your arms
If I sigh through your hair
This last affair
This place in my mind
Where I know what's going on
But it grows, shifts in time
Leaves me hanging on
And though we were only having fun
It seems such a crime now
Go and play, play in the road
You're gonna get run down, run down

There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out?

It's an impulsive thing
But we caught the other
Climbed into bed with all our previous lovers
It gets crowded in there
There's no more affairs

 

[tufty79]

the johnny cash version (w/ his daughter duetting)

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry
them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

 

[tufty79]

wow

I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?

And on that fateful day
Perhaps in the new sun of May
My baby walks back into my arms
I'll keep him beside me
Forever from harm

You see I was afraid
To let my baby stray
I kept him too tightly by my side
And then one sad day
He went away and he died

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?

 

[tufty79]

Let's not make it into a big thing

Let's not get lost in this

I know it is, I know we could

I guess we surely would

Let's pretend it's not

It doesn't mean a thing

Let's not blow it out of all sense

As though it meant so much

It's always thought about for weeks

Not every time your lips meet mine, I think of her

But when her hands reach out, I think of you

 

[tufty79]

In my house, there's a place I can hide,
When I feel a surge of self pity,
In my house there's a place where I sit,
And watch the violence on the telly,
In my house there's a kitchen,
Where we eat, drink and cook,
And in my house there's an attic at the top,
where my sister and her boyfriend go.
My house, get down the stairs,
My house, 'till your dad gets home,
My house, listen son there's a few rules you should know,
About living in My house, do as you're told,
My house, have you got that straight,
My house, if you wanna own it then you just better wait.

In My house, there's a bathroom,
It's a lovely shade of green,
In My house, there's a best room,
And mum keeps that real clean,
In My house, there's five bedrooms,
And there's only four of us,
In My house, there's an alley down the back,
And a hut that ain't up to much.

 

[Homeless Mal]

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, joe?
Some people say this town dont look good in snow
You dont care, I know

Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
Youre gonna go I know

cause the free wind is blowin through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit ...

Wishin on a falling star
Waitin for the early train
Sorry boy, but Ive been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same

Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
Youre gonna go I know

cause the free wind is blowin through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit ...

 

[Homeless Mal]

No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand take me home

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
Its alright its alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
I would cry

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
One man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
Its alright its alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
Standing in a line

So I walked on down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
Well he asked me for my love
That was all

 

[Roadkill]

Where are you walking, I’ve seen you walking
Have you been there before?
Walk down your doorsteps, you’ll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
There’s a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
There’s a chicken in my nest and she won’t
Lay until I’ve given her my best
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you don’t then you will burn

You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you’re put here for?
You think you’re happy and you are happy
That’s what you’re happy for
There’s a man who can’t decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns who’ll screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you’re nice she’ll bring me water
If you’re not then I will burn

This is the time and life that I am living
And I’ll face each day with a smile
For the time that I’ve been given’s such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
There are places that I am going

This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that’s all that lives is going to die
And there’ll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
There’ll be time for you to put yourself on

Everything I’ve seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks it’s strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you’re playing?

I see your picture
It’s in the same old frame
We meet again
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh…
And if you take it easy
I’m still teethin’
I wanna love you, but
Oh, oh, oh...

This is the time and life that I am living
And I’ll face each day with a smile
For the time that I’ve been given’s such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
There’ll be time for you to start all over

This is the time and this is the time and
It is time, time, time...

 

[purplex]

Has anyone here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me whe he's gone?
Oh, he freed a lot of people
but it seems the good die young, yeah.
I just looked around and he was gone.

Hmmm

Has anyone here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me whe he's gone?
You know, he freed a lot of people
but it seems the good die young, yeah.
I just looked around and he was gone.

Oh yeah

Has anyone here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me whe he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
but it seems the good die young, yeah.
I just looked around and he was gone.

[Insrumental]

Has anyone here seen my friend Bobby?
Can you tell me whe he's gone?
You know, he freed a lot of people
but the good, they die young, yeah.
I just looked around and he was gone.

 

[rollinder]

Yes I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow

You know I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there

And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name

And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on a floor
And I remember
Even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore

You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while

And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name

Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
But I never even caught her name

 

[rollinder]

"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go

"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while..."
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don't have the time..."
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...

So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June
Until later... doesn't always come

It's so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you... to hold you... "

But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long
Until later...

I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn't - now it's all too late
It's over... over
And you're gone..

I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you I miss you so much

But how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..."
But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..."
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "If only..."

But "If only...."
Is a wish too late...

Try Jamaica
(I) think they'll take you
Honolulu
How do you do?
I'll make a quick stop
My fair-lady pill pop
Before catching the bus to good lord knows where's what
(Catch me)
falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here

Salad nicoise
Good to meet you
Carcasonne hon'
Stands next to no one
The rake at the door has been taking a tour
Of this tar (and) feather land and good lord knows
that I am now
Falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here

Yankee go
Yankee go home
The gas prices are getting higher
As the rain falls upon dry land
Yankee go home

Senses burn man
when the deck-hand
Plays a flute which
Reminds me of you oh
That night have some patience
And girls who are singing of strangers and sailors
There are gunfights
There are neckties
A little history
A little sunlight
Alright

Yankee go home

Papa said
Papa said
Pa said get used to it
Pa said get used to it
Pa said it gets so goddamn hard but I get used to it
Pa said get used to it

Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home.

So long marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Well, you know that I love to live with you,
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angel
And then the angels forget to pray for us.



So long marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again


We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark.



So long marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again


Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.



So long marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again


For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave.



So long marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again


O you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain.

 

[tufty79]

You took the car
It was my favorite one
A little white Dart
And drove it to Idaho
You took the horse
It was a thoroughbred
Saddled it up
Out on the interstate
You kept the cat
Put it in antifreeze
Dumped in the trunk
with the rest of the cattlefeed
You took the house
You went and changed the locks
Now I am stuck Living out of a box

I think I've been taken
for everything I own
I've been hurt so badly
I'm alone, baby, I'm alone

You left me nothing
You left me nothing
Johnny Sunshine
You left me nothing
You left me nothing
Johnny Sunshine
You left me nothing
You left me nothing
Johnny Sunshine
You left me nothing
You left me nothing

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand,
I got all the love, honey baby,
You can stand.

I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
If you want me, honey baby,
I'll be here.

Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips.
I like the cool way you look at me,
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery.

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like.
I like the way you love me strong and slow,
I'm takin' you with me, honey baby,
When I go.

Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must.
You do what you must do and ya do it well,
I'll do it for you, honey baby,
Can't you tell?

At the top of the stairs - you shove
And going down with a smile - you shove
I'll teach you to turn away
I'll teach you to turn away

As you fall in the crowd - you shove
Some attention to steal - you will
I'll teach you to turn away
I'll teach you to turn away
These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show

Oh she's letting go
But you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go
Though you're harder tham I am

So here's a reason to pray - oh god
It's really something I'm proud of
St. Christopher would stay
I'll teach you to turn away
These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show

Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am

These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show

Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
