Lyrics

Another Train- Poozies

The beginning is now
And will always be
You say you lost your way
That fate brought you defeat
But that means nothing
You look so sad
You've been listening to those who say you've missed your chance

Chorus
There's another train
There always is
Maybe the next one is yours
Get up and climb aboard another train

You say you're done
There's no such thing
Although you're standing on your own
Your own breath is king
The beginning is now
Don't turn around
Regrets of bad mistakes will only drain you

Chorus

You crawl in the dark sometimes
And think too much
Then you fill your head with crazy things
That only break your heart
And I know you see
What the earth can do
When it's dragging down another load
Of worrisome fools

Chorus

I know it's hard when you feel confused
You can drown yourself with fear
And you feel you cannot move
You're building worlds
That don't exist
Imagination plays the worst tricks

Chorus
Chorus

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön- Andrews Sisters

Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some,
Until I first met you I was lonesome,
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me.
You're really swell I have to admit, you
Deserve expressions that really fit you,
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, please let me explain,
Bei Mir Bist Du Schön means that you're grand.
Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, again I'll explain,
It means that you're the fairest in the land.
I could say 'Bella, bella,' even say 'Wunderbar.'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are.
I've tried to explain 'Bei Mir Bist Du Schön.'
So kiss me and say you understand.

Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
But let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you grand you are

Carry You Around- Ani DiFranco

how pleased can one
sun setting make you
if you humble yourself
to it?
how grateful can you
really say that you are
just to be here and live
through it?
and when beauty asks a question
how often do you reply?
how often do you wonder
about life on the other side?
on the other side of sorrow
on the other side of rage
on the other side of ok
ok at all
in any way
imagine what loneliness
will drive someone to do
now multiply that times me
and multiply that times you
now imagine what it would take to make
this all happen again
and just when you think you're gonna cry
multiply that times ten
you
are distracting me
from all other activities
and i know the fact of your presence
will dominate my memory
of this restaurant this table
this day and this town
cuz i carry you, baby
i carry you around

The District Sleeps Alone- Postal Service

Smeared black ink... your palms are sweaty
And i'm barely listening to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath where i am

I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with bigh block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends i am a visitory here...
I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is where i am

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with yor door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seing why i was the one worth leaving
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving

Don't Know Why- Norah Jones

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

How Deep is Your Love? - Jonatha Brooke

I Am So Ordinary - Paula Cole

I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
I watched you lean across the table
I watched you whisper in her ear

Chorus
And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And you can use me if you want to
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe

She looks like me but a bit prettier
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
I saw her on your motorcycle
In the seat I thought was meant for me

Chorus

And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
And then I saw you three together
I guess she makes the best impression
With her charming femininity...

Chorus

Oh but I am the one you will call when alone
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
And so I give
So I give

I tell myself that love is truly giving
Somehow I justify this
Hoping you will understand me
Hoping you will love me back

And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
And I'm just your morning after
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
And I am just Frere Jaque
And you can lose me if you want to

And I am so ordinary

If You Could Only See - Tonic

if you could only see the way she loves me
then maybe you would understand
why i feel this way about our love
and what i must do
if you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
when she says she loves me

well you got your reasons
and you got your lies
and you got your manipulations
they cut me down to size

sayin' you love but you don't
you give your love but you won't

if you could only see the way she loves me
then maybe you would understand
why i feel this way about our love
and what i must do
if you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
when she says she loves me

seems the road less traveled
show's happiness unraveled
and you gotta take a little dirt
to keep what you love
that's what you gotta do

sayin' you love but you don't
you give your love but you won't
you're stretching your arms to something just not there
sayin' you love where you stand
give your heart when you can

if you could only see the way she loves me
then maybe you would understand
why i feel this way about our love
and what i must do
if you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
when she says she loves me

sayin' you love but you don't
you give your love but you won't
sayin' you love where you stand
give your heart where you can

if you could only see the way she loves me
then maybe you would understand
why i feel this way about our love
and what i must do
if you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
when she says she loves me

I Know What Kind of Love This Is- The Nields

[top]

I Won't Give Up

I can read the look on your face
I can hear the lines before they leave your lips
Save them, save them
For another day, for another

I can ride the wildest of waves
I can feel the blood that courses through my veins
Tame them, tame them
For another day, for another

I won't give up
Don't try to wear my down
I won't be leaving you so soon
It's not enough 
To throw your weapon down
You've got to 
Keep fighting your way through

Share with me the secrets you ride
Take me to a place where we can close our eyes
Close them, close them
For another day, for another

This is not the time
To turn and walk away
How can I change your mind?
There's so much I could
Say you'll see this through

I won't give up
Don't try to wear my down
I won't be leaving you so soon
It's not enough 
To throw your weapon down
You've got to 
Keep fighting your way through
You've got to 
Keep fighting your way through

I can read the look on your face
I can hear the lines before they leave your lips
Save them, save them
For another day, for another
For another day, for another

Love You Madly- Cake

I’m gonna make a change,
For once in my life
It’s gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right . . .

As i, turn up the collar on my
Favourite winter coat
This wind is blowin’ my mind
I see the kids in the street,
With not enough to eat
Who am i, to be blind?
Pretending not to see
Their needs
A summer’s disregard,
A broken bottle top
And a one man’s soul
They follow each other on
The wind ya’ know
’cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know

I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(if you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change
(take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change)
(na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I’ve been a victim of a selfish
Kind of love
It’s time that I realize
That there are some with no
Home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
Pretending that they’re not alone?

A willow deeply scarred,
Somebody’s broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of
The wind, ya’ see
Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me
(starting with me!)

I’m starting with the man in the mirror
(ooh!)
I’m asking him to change his ways
(ooh!)
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(if you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)

I’m starting with the man in
The mirror
(ooh!)
I’m asking him to change his ways
(change his ways-ooh!)
And no message could’ve
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(if you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make that . . .
(take a look at yourself and
Then make that . . .)
Change!

I’m starting with the man in the mirror,
(man in the mirror-oh yeah!)
I’m asking him to change his ways
(better change!)
No message could have
Been any clearer
(if you wanna make the
World a better place)
(take a look at yourself and
Then make the change)
(you gotta get it right, while
You got the time)
(’cause when you close your heart)
You can’t close your . . .your mind!
(then you close your . . . mind!)
That man, that man, that
Man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I’m asking him to change his ways
(better change!)
You know . . .that man
No message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(if you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)
Hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na,
Na nah
(oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na,
Na nah
(ooooh . . .)
Oh no, no no . . .
I’m gonna make a change
It’s gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(change . . .)
Just lift yourself
You know
You’ve got to stop it.
Yourself!
(yeah!-make that change!)
I’ve got to make that change,
Today!
Hoo!
(man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself . . .
Brother . . .
Hoo!
(yeah!-make that change!)
You know-i’ve got to get
That man, that man . . .
(man in the mirror)
You’ve got to
You’ve got to move! come
On! come on!
You got to . . .
Stand up! stand up!
Stand up!
(yeah-make that change)
Stand up and lift
Yourself, now!
(man in the mirror)
Hoo! hoo! hoo!
Aaow!
(yeah-make that change)
Gonna make that change . . .
Come on!
(man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know . . .
(change . . .)
Make that change.

Out Of The Woods- Nickel Creek

I wish you out of the woods 
And into the picture with me. 
I wish you over the moon, 
Come out of the question and be. 

CHORUS 
If this going to 
Run round in my head 
I might as well be dreaming. 
Run round in my head 

I rollercoaster for you. 
Time out of mind 
Must be heavenly. 
It's all enchanted and wild, 
It's just like my heat said 
It was going to be. 

CHORUS

Saint Teresa - Joan Osborne

Sit down on the corner just a little climb
When I make my money got to get my dime
Sit down with her baby wind is full of trash
She bold as the street light dark and sweet as hash
Way down in the hollow leavin' so soon
Oh St. Teresa higher than the moon
Reach down for the sweet stuff when she looks at me
I know any man sees you like I see
Follow down the side street movin' single file
She say...
That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child
Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon
Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me
She say...
Every stone a story, like a rosary
Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime
When I make my money, got to get my dime
Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon
You called up in the sky
You called up in the clouds
Is there something you forgot to tell me...
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me
Every stone a story, like a rosary

Shiver- Coldplay

So I look in your direction
but you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'cos you say you see straight through me, don't you?
but on and on
from the moment I wake
to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
just to see if you care

oh, did you want me to change?
well I'd change for good
and I want you to know
that you'll always get your way
I wanted to say...

don't you shiver
you shiver
singing loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you

so you know how much I need you
but you never even see me, do you?
and is this my final chance of getting you?

but on and on
from the moment I wake
to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
just to see if you care, if you care
oh, did you want me to change?
well I'd change for good
and I want you to know
that you'll always get your way
and I wanted to say...

don't you shiver
don't you shiver
I sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you

yeah I'll always be waiting for you
yeah I'll always be waiting for you
yeah I'll always be waiting for you
for you, I will always be waiting

and it's you I see
but you don't see me
and it's you I hear
so loud and so clear
I sing it loud, and clear
and I'll always be waiting for you

so I look in your direction
but you pay me no attention
and you know how much I need you
but you never even see me

Story of Your Bones- Jennifer Nettles

It's been two long months since I took a good look in the mirror
And in that time I find these lines on my face have gotten clearer
It's time I reintroduced myself to the world
Show them what I'm all about
Even if it's just so they can chew me up, turn their heads, and spit me out.

These bones in my face are from my mother
These lips I use are from my father
And the nose that rests above them is from another man
Somewhere who didn't even bother

I wonder what would he say
If he knew I got up here and rambled on this way
Would he then be proud and make it known
That he was part of me and I was one of his own

It's been five long weeks since I've been able to kiss your face
And that always makes me question if this bullshit is worth it in the first place
'Cause I have to know the story of your bones
And I long to rove the map of your skin
And I'm tired of us both feeling loved yet alone
I want to feel where you've hurt, I want to taste where you've been

But what will they say
Will they still come and hear me when they know I love you this way
As I read you with my mouth and my finger tips
Like berries you color my hands, like wine you stain lips

It's been two long months since I took a good look in the mirror.

Video Killed the Radio Star- Radiohead

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.
Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a oh
You were the last one.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
repeat
Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)

When I'm Gone- Phil Ochs

There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singing this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
I won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't feel the golden of the sun when I'm gone
The evenings and mornings will be one when I'm gone
I can't sing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
The sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
I can't add my name to the fight when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
