4 non blondes – What’s up                                                              1

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

            And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed

            just to get it all out what’s in my head
            And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

            And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
            And I take a deep breath and I get real high
            And I scream from the top of my lungs: What’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

Oh, oh oh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution.

            And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying bed
            Just to get it all out what’s in my head
            And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

            And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
            And I take a deep breath and I get real high
            And I scream from the top of my lungs: What’s going on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

Acda en de Munnik – Niet of nooit geweest                                   2

Ik zie twee mensen op het strand
Vlak bij het water, hand in hand
De zon zakt, ze zwijgen van geluk
Ik ken haar net, want dat ben jij
Ze lacht naar hem, hij lijkt op mij
Maar dat kan niet, want ik maak alles stuk


Ik kan die jongen toch nooit zijn
Die rust, die liefde, niets voor mij
Maar waarom lijkt het dan toch zo vertrouwd?
Ik heb je lief, zoals je ziet
Maar ergens klopt er hier iets niet
Ik draag een ring maar ‘k heb jou nooit getrouwd

            Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest
            Ik ben de gangmaker op het verkeerde feest
            Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest  2 x

Ik zie twee mensen, ze gaan staan
Ze draait zich om, we moeten gaan
Kijk in me ogen en zie dezelfde pijn
Twee mensen eerder al verbonden
Al die verliefdheid, wat een zonde
We zijn het allebei maar willen het niet zijn

            Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest
            Ik ben de schoenmaker bij de verkeerde leest
            Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest  2 x

Oh, laat het de zon zijn (laat het de zon zijn)
Oh, laat het het strand zijn
Laat het de zee zijn
Laat mij iets doen nu waardoor je mij nooit meer wilt zien
O, laat het het zout zijn (laat het het zout zijn)
Laat het mijn allerdomste fout zijn
Maar laat me dit nooit meer vergeten, nooit meer vergeten
laat me dit nooit meer vergeten, bovendien

Ik ben mezelf niet of al die jaren nooit geweest 2 x
Ik ben mezelf niet of nooit geweest 4 x

All that she wants  –  ace of base                                      3

she leads a lonely life
she leads a lonely life

when she woke up late in the morning light
and the day had just begun
she opened up her eyes and thought
oh what a morning

it`s not a day for work
it`s a day for catching tan
just laying on the beach and having fun
she`s going to get you

all that she wants is another baby
she`s gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby, yeah
all that she wants is another baby
she`s gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby, yeah

so if you are in sight and the day is right
she`s the hunter you`re the fox
the gentle voice that talks to you won`t talk forever

it is a night for passion
but the morning means goodbye
beware of what is flashing in her eyes
she`s going to get you

all that she  wants    2 x

Bryan Adams – Baby when you’re gone                               4

i’ve been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
i’m trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you


well the phone don’t ring cuz my friends ain’t home
i’m tired of being all alone
got the tv on cuz the radio’s playing

songs that remind me of you

chorus:
baby when you’re gone

i realize i’m in love
the days go on and on

and the nights just seem so long
even food don’t taste that good

drink ain’t doing what it should
things just feel so wrong

baby when you’re gone

i’ve been driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
ya i’m lookin’ for a familiar face

but there’s no one i know


this is torture – this is pain

it feels like i’m gonna go insane
i hope you’re coming back real soon

cuz i don’t know what to do    

chorus

Oleta Adams – Get Here                                                       4a

you can reach me by rail way
you can reach me by a trail away
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan

cross the desert like an arab man
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat

climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope

into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt

cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can

            chorus:
            There are hills and mountains between us
            Always something to get over
            If I had my way, surely you would be closer
            I need you closer

(solo)
            chorus


You can windsurf into my life

take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon

but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan

cross the desert like an Arab man
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can

I don’t care I don’t care i need you right here right now
I need you right here right now, right by my side,yeah

yeah,ooh hooh
I don’t care how you get here, get here if you can

Oleta Adams – Window of hope                                                      4b

In the darkness of your private room
You’ve been picking at the scabs of some old wounds
You’re cuddling up the sorrow like it’s your best friend
Thinking it’s an inescapable end
See the light shining on the wall
It’s gonna shine through the nightfall
Can’t you see

chorus
A window of hope
Shining the light on every problem
A window of hope
There’s always a chance that you can solve them
When you think it’s all over and you wanna let go
The faintest glow is there to help you, I know
Keep looking for the light

of the window of hope

You’re shadow boxing almost everyday
Don’t you think it’s time to put your gloves away
This kind of punishment should be a sin
Face it, that ain’t no way to begin
Oh, see the light shining on the wall
It’s gonna shine through the nightfall
Can’t you see

chorus

Hope is the sea of life that was meant to flow, like a never ending stream
And I can sleep at night, now that I know, hope is a waking dream
   *omhoog*   Can’t you see a, can’t you see

chorus

Brian Adams – Everything I do                                            5

Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart – search your soul
And when you find me there you`ll search no more

Don`t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for
You can`t tell me it`s not worth dyin` for
You know it`s true
Everything I do – I do it for you

Look into my heart – you will find
There`s nothin` there to hide
Take me as I am – take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice

Don`t tell me it`s not worth fightin` for
I can`t help it there`s nothin` I want more
Ya know it`s true
Everything I do – I do it for you

chorus:
There`s no love – like your love
And no other – could give more love
There`s nowhere – unless you`re there
All the time – all the way

Oh- you can’t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for
I can`t help it there`s nothin` I want more
I would fight for you – I`d lie for you
Walk the wire for you – Ya I`d die for you
Ya know it`s true
Everything I do – I do it for you

Christina Aguilera – Genie in a bottle                                                             6

I feel like I’ve been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You’re licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don’t mean I’m gonna give it away, baby baby baby

Ooooh (my body is saying let’s go)
Ooooh (but my heart is saying no)

CHORUS:If you wanna be with me baby there’s a price to pay
              I’m a genie in a bottle you gotta rub me the right way
              If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true
              You gotta make a big impression I gotta like what you do

I’m a genie in a bottle baby You gotta rub me the right way honey
I’m a genie in a bottle baby Come, come, come on and let me out

The music’s fading the lights down low
Just one more dance and then were good to go
Waiting for someone who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don’t mean it’s gotta be tonight, baby, baby, baby

Ooooh (my body is saying let’s go)         Ooooh (but my heart is saying no)

CHORUS


I’m a genie in a bottle baby
You gotta rub me the right way honey
I’m a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out     2x

Ooooh (my body is saying let’s go)         Ooooh (but my heart is saying no)

CHORUS

If you wanna be with me baby there’s a price to pay
I’m a genie in a bottle you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby and I’ll be with you

I’m a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come, on and let me out

Tori Amos – Caught A Lite Sneeze                                       7

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
Caught a lightweight lightingseed
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you’re not here

I need a big loan from the girl zone

Building
tumbling down
Didn’t know our love was so small
Coun’t stand at all
Mr. St. John just bring your son

The spire is hot and my cells can’t feed
And you still got that Belle dragging your foots
I’m hiding it well Sister Ernestine
But I still got that Belle dragging my foots

chorus

Right on time you get closer and closer
Called my name but there’s no way in
Use that fame
Rent you wife and kids today
Maybe she will, maybe she will

Caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you’re not here
Boys in their dresses
And you’re not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone

chorus

Tori Amos – Crucify                                                                             8

Every finger in the room was pointing at me, I wanna spit
In their faces then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach, I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

I’ve been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands drive another nail in
Just what God needs one more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves?
Everyday I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself

Everyday I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being
I said, “My heart is sick of being in
Chains, chains”

Got a kick for a dog begging for love
I gotta I have my suffering so that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter, he says, “Will you ever learn
You’re just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird”

I’ve been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

chorus

Please save me, I cry

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Where’re those Angels when you need them?

chorus

Tori Amos – Silent all these years                                                                     9

Excuse, but can I be you for a while
My dog won’t bite if you sit real still
I got the Anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin’ at me again
Yeah, I can hear that


Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say, you know, but nothing comes
Yes, I know what you think of me, you never shut up, yeah, I can hear that

But what if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don’t care ‘cause sometimes

I said sometimes I hear my voice.
And it’s been here silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What’s so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How’s that thought for you


My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there’s a heaven where some screams have gone
I got twenty-five bucks an’ a cracker
Do you think it’s enough to get us there

Cause what if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don’t care ‘cause sometimes

I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it’s been here silent all these

Years go by

will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand
Years go by

if I’m stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by

will I choke on my tears ’til, finally there is nothing left
One more casualty, you know we’re too easy, easy, easy

Well, I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let’s hear what you think of me now but, baby, don’t look up- the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
Hmm, it’s your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin’ at you, here taken hold of my hand yeah, I can hear them

But what if I’m a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on it 

Tori Amos – Winter                                                                             10

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father’s glove


I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice: “You must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can’t alyways be around”

He says:
“When you gonna make up your mind?”
“When you gonna love you as much as I do?”
“When you gonna make up your mind,
“‘Cause things are gonna change so fast.”
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I’ll alwayswant you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I’m here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
“Mirror, mirror, where’s the crystal palace?”
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know that the ice is getting thin…

chorus

Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say, “I wanted you to be proud of me.”
I always wanted that myself

chorus              All the white horses have gone ahead

Never change.
All the white horses

Leah Andreone – It’s alright it’s okay                                                           11

Broken doll baby and she says that life’s a waste
It doesn’t have to be that way
Dad threw away her mom, her mom gave up his name
Crucified by their words nailed by shame

She stares into the sun, self inflicted pain
She sees that they’re blind
Why does she take all the blame
The rhyme has changed, compulsion rules
Mary’s little lambs are now raised by wolves
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things
They have a lovely lure

chorus:
It’s alright it’s ok, welcome to this life
Killing time, just watching the grass grow
It’s alright it’s ok, welcome to this life
Don’t worry sweet baby cos it’s over before you know

Persecuted, she’s not normal, I envy her strange ways
Seven deadly sins seize the hour, seize the day
Her ideas need expression, her wounds never bleed
Her beauty lives in my eyes, too bad she can’t see

She doesn’t try, I watch her spirits die
But giving up the ghost would feel so good
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things
They have a lovely lure

chorus

bridge

Crumbling Camelot, idle teardrops
Cloudy diamonds, freebase funhouse
Expecting to fly but she’s just standing still
Every time she gets it up
She just can’t close the deal

So she gives herself another way out
Walks her dog for the fiftieth time
And files her nails till they bleed
and she cries now
She doesn’t have to try                            chorus

Anouk – In the sand                                                                      12

So many times I’ve cried

When dark clouds block the sunlight

and it’s raining in my heart

I’ll keep my head up high

So little time to try

To find out, about the feeling

that’s deep inside of you

And keeps the dream alive

So remember, when you’re down and out

When you’re stuck in the middle

when you can’t solve the riddle

Lay it down in the sand

When you can’t help but shiver

get you finger off the trigger

Lay it down in the sand

Get it out your head, out of your hands, lay it down       

in the sand 2x

So many minds are torn

By overloading senses

you’re breathing in and out

No second left to sigh

Can you tell me why

Nobody will tell me

what they’re feeling deep inside

We’re all just telling lies

Every time you wonder

Why the feeling lingers

and it’s stuck inside your soul

You’re crying when you smile

chorus 2 x

Anouk – Michel                                                                                  13

Hey Michel how’s life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It’s been nine years since that kiss
I can’t help but reminiss
Hey Michel do you remember

We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping they all could see
That we belonged together
You and me against the world
But we found out the hard way
That it wasn’t meant to be
Now it’s you and her I see

You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But that ain’t that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stole my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That does not mean I don’t think of you
I’m just hoping that she’ll treat you right
Do you remember how we

chorus


It’s just a silly dream

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Na na na na na na na

Hey Michel
Do you remember

Anouk – Nobody’s Wife                                                 14

I’m sorry for the times that I made you scream
For the times that I killed your dreams
For the times that I made your whole world rumble
For the times that I made you cry
For the times that I told you lies
For the times that I watched and let you stumble

chorus:
It’s too bad, but that’s me
What goes around comes around, you’ll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
‘Cause it ain’t the first time that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I suck out all the love I, I’ll never be nobody’s wife


I’m sorry for the times that I didn’t come home
Left you lyin’ in that bed alone
Flyin’ high in the sky when you needed my shoulder
You’re like a stone hangin’ round my neck, see
Cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I’ve gotta say what I feel before I grow older


I’m sorry but I ain’t gonna change my ways
You know I’ve tried but I’m still the same
I’ve got to do it my own way

chorus 2x


Anouk – R.U. Kiddin’ Me                                                               15

Sure got my piece of Heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild


But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That’s why I really don’t understand – why he’s with her
It’s killing me

chorus:             What has she got that I don’t have?
                                    Is it the way she looks at you
                                    Laughs with you? Can she
                                    Does she make you beg for more?
                                    This is hurting
                                    What has she got that I don’t have?


I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he’s never there


So I went to his place and waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:


There is nothing left to say
I had my fill; I went away
Your crying eyes won’t change a thing
It was just a fling, well


How could an angel break my heart?
He said: We could still be friends
Are you kidding me?

Chorus


But twice every year when he’s in tears
When he loses his mind and can’t help but cry, he’ll call me, and then
I am better then
I am

Anouk – Sacrifice                                                                          16

Who’s the one that makes you happy
Who’s the one that always makes you laugh
Who’s the reason you’re smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough

I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I’m the reason that you’re crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you want to be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn’t want to know I had the key

chorus


You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you want to
You can be who you want to be

Fiona Apple – Never is a promise                                                     17

You’ll never see the courage I know

Its colors’ richness won’t appear within your view

I’ll never glow – the way that you glow

Your presence dominates the judgements made on you

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention – to you

 You’ll say you understand, but You don’t understand
 You’ll say you’d never give up seeing eye to eye
 But never is a promise, and you can’t afford to lie

You’ll never touch – these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You’ll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I’ve ever shown – to you

 You’ll say, Don’t fear your dreams, it’s easier than it seems
 You’ll say you’d never let me fall from hopes so high
 But never is a promise and you can’t afford to lie

You’ll never live the life that I live
I’ll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You’ll never hear the message I give
You’ll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention – to you

 You’ll say you understand, you’ll never understand
 I’ll say I’ll never wake up knowing how or why
 I don’t know what to believe in, you don’t know who I am
 You’ll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
 But never is a promise and I’ll never need a lie

Fiona Apple – Sleep to dream                                        18

I tell you how I feel but you don’t care
I say tell me the truth but you don’t dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say give me mine back and go there
For all I care

chorus:
I got my feet on the ground

and I don’t go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds

and you’re not at all what you seem
This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled

by your deviant ways
So don’t forget what I told you, don’t come around

I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide
I can’t abide

chorus

Don’t make it a big deal don’t be so sensitive
We’re not playing a game anymore you don’t have to be defensive

Don’t you plead me your case don’t bother to explain
Don’t even show me your face ‘cause it’s a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrows you gave and all the stakes you claim
And don’t forget to blame

chorus 2 x

Fiona Apple – Sullen girl                                                  19

Days like this I don’t know what to do with myself
All day and all night
I wander the Fhalls along the walls and
Under my breath I say to myself
I need fuel to take flight

chorus:
And there’s too much going on
But it’s calm under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Is that why they call me a sullen girl, sullen girl

They don’t know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea
But he washed me shore
And he took my pearl
And left an empty shell of me

chorus


Under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
It’s calm under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion

Tasmin Archer – Sleeping satellite                                   20

chorus:

I blame you for the moonlit sky

and the dream that died with the eagles’ flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights

when I wonder why are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance

in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try

to justify the waste for a taste

of man’s greatest adventure

chorus

have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green

then why does it scream under a blue moon

we wonder why
If the earth’s sacrificed for the price

of it’s greatest of treasures

chorus

and when we shoot for the stars what a giant step

have we got what it takes to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark miss the mark

with a sense of adventure

chorus

Tina Arena – Chains                                                          20a

Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they’re made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin’ key
A little click and the lock’s on me


Can’t move my arms, can’t lift my hands
I won’t admit to where I am
But I know baby

I’m in chains 2 x


I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls


I’ve crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby

I’m in chains 4 x                 omhoog


Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape


I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I’d be
But baby, baby

baby, look at me
Baby, baby, look at me

I’m in chains  2 x
I never thought this is where I’d be
Never thought this could happen to me

baby baby, I’m in chains  -look at me, I´m in chains

Björk – Human Behaviour                                                                21

If you ever get close to a human

And human behavior

Be ready, be ready to get confused

And me and my hereafter

There’s definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

To human behavior

But yet so, yet so irresistible

And me and my fear can

And there’s no map – uncertain

They’re terribly, terribly, terribly moody

of human behavior

Then all of a sudden, turn happy

and they and my hereafter

But, oh, to get involved in the exchange

of human emotions

Is ever so ever so satisfying

and they and my here, oh

And there’s no map – uncertain

            Human behavior, human behavior

And there’s no map

And a compass wouldn’t help at all

Yeah

uncertain

Human behavior, human behavior

There’s definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

human, human, to human

Bjork – It’s oh so quiet                                                                            22

BLOF – Hier aan de kust                                                                 23

De zoute zee slaakt een diepe zilte zucht
Boven het vlakke land trilt stil de warme lucht
He! iemand slaat soms onverwacht maar zeker op de vlucht
Alarmfase Twee is hier nauwelijks nog berucht

Maar men weet het niet, en zwijgt van wat men hoort en ziet


Hier aan de kust, de Zeeuwse kust
Waar de mensen onbewust zin in mosselfeesten krijgen
En van eten slechts nog zwijgen aBls ze zat zijn en voldaan
Dan weer rustig slapen gaan


Hier aan de kust, de Zeeuwse kust
Waar eenieder onbewust in het Duits wordt aangesproken

waar de ketting is gebroken en alle schepen zijn verbrand

Maar er is niets aan de hand


Vlissingen ademt zwaar en moedeloos vannacht
De haven is verlaten, want er is nog maar een vracht
En die moet in het donker buitengaats worden gebracht
Gedenkt de goede tijden van zuiverheid en kracht

Maar men weet het niet, en zwijgt van wat men hoort en ziet

Hier aan de kust, de Zeeuwse kust
Waar de zomer onbewust met een rotgang wordt genoten
En waar wild en onverdroten iedereen zijn gang kan gaan
Tot men zat is en voldaan



Hier aan de kust, de Zeeuwse kust
Waar de liefde van de lust steeds maar weer zal gaan verliezen
Omdat ze nooit kan kiezen tussen goed en niet zo kwaad
Maar dat is zoals het gaat



Hier aan de kust

Blof – Niets dan dit                                                       24

Doe je jas uit. maak je haren los
Kom heel stil naast me liggen
Richt je op, raak me even aan
Bijna alles is teveel nu
Is teveel nu

Ik ben niets dan dit 3 x
Wat jij voor je ziet

Neem de klok mee, zet hem ongelijk
Laat de wijzers draaien
Pak je schoenen, zet ze uit de pas
Ik zal de doos bewaren

tot-ie vol is

Ik ben niets dan dit 3 x
Wat jij voor je ziet

brug:
Wees nog even stil
Wees nog even zoals nu
Wees nog even hier
En doe dan maar de deur dicht

Ik ben niets dan dit 3 x
Wat jij voor je zie

Blof – zaterdag                                                            25

De allermooiste straathoek ruikt naar koffie en naar bier
Ik rook een sigaret en dan nog een stuk of vier
Haar raam staat altijd open, ze kan me zo zien staan
Ze roept: Wacht op mij vanavond, het is tijd om weg te gaan

Ik kan nooit iets beters dan zo’n mooi ongeduld
Tot ik de zon heb neergekeken, wat me niet met spijt vervult
En als ik haar dan ophaal, zit ze naast me en ze zwijgt
Ik rij harder weg dan anders, duw het asfalt voor ons uit

refrein:
zaterdag
Deed ik niets dat ook wel later mag
zaterdag
Zag ik de week die in het water lag
Maar zaterdag, zaterdag
Ben ik vrijer dan de rest

De stad ligt achter ons, we kijken naar elkaar
Het wordt nooit meer hetzelfde, wij hier, de wereld daar
En ik weet wel wat ze denkt nu; ´We kunnen niet meer terug´
Rij alsjeblieft voor altijd door, want alles, alles gaat te vlug

Ik leefde langzaam aan in de kantlijn van zo’n dag
Dat alles net nog kan maar niet meer hoeft
En ik verdeed mijn tijd maar ik ben klaar voor zaterdag

refrein

Tracy Bonham – Mother Mother                                        26

Mother mother how’s the family?
I’m just calling to say hello.
How’s the weather? How’s my father?
Am I lonely? Heavens no.
Mother mother are ya listening?
Just a phone call to ease your mind.
Life is perfect, never better,
Distance making the heart grow fond.

When you sent me off to see the world,
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
Would I try a little tobacco,
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?

I’m hungry, I’m dirty, I’m losing my mind…Everything’s fine!

I’m freezing, I’m Starving, I’m bleeding to death…Everything’s fine!

Yeah, I’m working, making money,
I’m just starting to build a name.
I can feel it, around the corner,
I could make it any day.
Mother mother can you hear me,
Sure I’m sober, sure I’m sane.
Life is perfect, never better,
Still your daughter, still the same.

If I tell you what you want to hear,
Will it help you to sleep well at night?
Are you sure that I’m your perfect dear,
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight.

I’m hungry, I’m dirty, I’m losing my mind…Everything’s fine!

I’m freezing, I’m Starving, I’m bleeding to death…Everything’s fine!

I miss you, I love you

Tracy Bonham – One Hit Wonder                                              27

They call you the one hit wonder
If I could just hit you right

yeah, right between, yeah, right between your eyes

If ever a girlie wonder
Could ever be more than just one thing, yeah more
Than one thing at a time
Huh, time
More than one at a time

I give you my four leaf clover
‘Cause God only knows that is the only one
The only one of mine

And you’ll hear it over and over
Until it is built right in
Yeah, right into your filthy little mind
Your mind
Yeah, right into your

I own the world
I bought the whole damn world
From the man who sold the world
A million dollar caddy world

So could you just bend right over?
To see how it feels to be
To see just how it feels to be alive

And you’ll get it over and over
‘Cause God only knows that is the only one
The only one of mine
Of mine
The only one of

I own the world
I bought the whole damn world
From the man who sold the world
A million dollar cranky world

Bon Jovi – Bed of Roses                                                                   28

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don’t know
‘Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she is still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won’t make of me when I’m dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While we’re talking

about all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you’re all that I need

chorus:     I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
                For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
                I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
                And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I’m so far away that each step that I take is on my way home
A king’s ransom in dimes I’d given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it’s hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I’ll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

chorus

The hotel bar hangover whiskey’s gone dry
The barkeeper’s wig’s crooked
And she’s giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes, know I’ll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won’t be alone, but you know that don’t mean I’m not lonely

I’ve got nothing to prove for it’s you that I’d die to defend
chorus

Marco Borsato – Dromen zijn bedrog                                       29

Steeds als ik je zie lopen
dan gaat de hemel een klein beetje open.
Sterren, je laat ze verbleken
met je ogen die altijd stralen.

Jij kan de zon laten schijnen
want je loopt langs en de wolken verdwijnen
en als je lacht, lacht heel de wereld mee.

Refrein:
De meeste dromen zijn bedrog
maar als ik wakker wordt naast jou dan droom ik nog.
Ik voel je adem en zie je gezicht
je bent een droom die naast me ligt.
Je kijkt me aan en rekt je uit
een keer in de zoveel tijd komen dromen uit!

Jij moet me een ding beloven
laat me nog lang in mijn dromen geloven.
Zelfs als je even niet hier bent
blijf in mijn slaap dan bij me.

En als de zon weer gaat schijnen
laat dan dat beeld wat ik heb niet verdwijnen.
Als je zou gaan neem je mijn dromen mee.

refrein

Ooh jij kan de zon laten schijnen
want je loopt langs en de wolken verdwijnen.
En als je lacht, lacht heel de wereld mee.

refrein

Je kijkt me aan en rekt je uit
een keer in de zoveel tijd komen dromen uit! Refrein

Marco Borsato – Je hoeft niet naar huis vannacht                      30

Het is al laat, veel te laat
Omdat het ons om hetzelfde gaat
hoeven wij niets meer te zeggen
Je zoent me zacht, ik voel de kracht
Geluk is mooi als het naar je lacht
Niemand hoeft dat uit te leggen

Op mijn lippen ligt wat jij me wilt zeggen

Nee, je hoeft niet naar huis vannacht
We hebben al zo lang gewacht
Want de nacht is het hart van een liefde die lacht
Nee, je hoeft niet naar huis vannacht
Het leven gaat al veel te snel voorbij
Dus blijf bij mij

Je gaat me voor, het trapgat door
Je fluistert zachtjes in mijn linkeroor
Maar je hoeft me niets te zeggen
Want ieder woord dat verstoort
Mijn lichaam heeft jouw vraag al lang gehoord
Niemand hoeft dat uit te leggen

Dus ik denk wat jij denkt zonder dat we het zeggen

refrein       –          Nee, je hoeft niet naar huis

brug
Je bent nog mooier, zoveel mooier dan ik ooit had gedacht
We laten ons vallen, dieper dieper vallen
dit is het moment
waarop ik heb gewacht

solo

Nee, je hoeft niet naar huis vannacht
Het leven gaat al veel te snel voorbij
Dus blijf bij mij, nee, je hoeft niet naar huis

Marco Borsato/Do – Voorbij                                           31

Ik voel je om me heen, ik denk alleen aan jou
Ik hoor je stem
Ik zie je overal, ik neem je altijd mee
Waar ik ook ben

Zo tastbaar
En zo dichtbij
Hou jij je vast aan mij

Waar ik ben, daar ben jij
Je bent eigenlijk nooit weggeweest
Als een schaduw volg je mij
Door mijn huis, door mijn hoofd
Ik zou vrij zijn maar dat ben ik niet
Het is wel over
Maar nog niet voorbij

Ik weet niet wat het is
Maar ik mis je zo
Wat ik ook doe, ohhh

Onzichtbaar maar zo dichtbij
Hou jij je vast aan mij

refrein

       Zijn jouw dagen zonder mij
       Beter dan ons leven samen

ik mis je dag en nacht
zo onverwacht

Marco Borsato/Trijntje Oosterhuis – Wereld zonder jou                      32                

Hij:   Ik heb een masker opgezet
        En als mijn vrienden erom vragen
        Zeg ik dat het heerlijk is, alleen

        Je foto’s zijn al van de wand
        Alsof ik zo vergeten kan
        Dat ik je mis, hoe koud het is
        Hoe leeg zo zonder jou hier om me heen

refrein:
Ik kan je niet laten gaan
Al zeg ik dat het beter is
Alleen en zonder jou
Ik kan het gewoon niet aan
Ik mis je armen om me heen
Nee ik leef niet in een wereld zonder jou

Zij:    Ik heb bijna alles geprobeerd
        Alles om je te vergeten
        Ik lieg als ze me vragen hoe het gaat

        Ik lees wat boeken kijk TV
        Maar daar verandert ook niets mee
        Ik voel nog steeds, verlang nog steeds
        Ik denk nog steeds ja steeds alleen aan jou

Samen: refrein

De tijd staat stil
De tijd die alle wonden heelt, ze loopt niet zonder jou

refrein 2:

Ik kan je niet laten gaan
Al schreeuw ik dat het beter is
Alleen en zonder jou
Ik kan het gewoon niet aan
Ik mis je armen om me heen
En alles aan je waar ik zo van hou -waar ik zo van hou
Nee ik leef niet in een wereld

zonder jou
zonder jou

Brandy and Monica – The boy is mine                                                                   33

[chorus]
You need to give it up, had about enough
It’s not hard to see the boy is mine
I’m sorry that you seem to be confused
He belongs to me, the boy is mine

[Brandy] I think it’s time we got this straight, let’s sit and talk, face to face
There is no way you could mistake him, for your man, are you insane

[Monica] See I know that you may be just a bit jealous of me
Cause you’re blind if you can’t see that his love is all in me

[Brandy] See I tried to hesitate, I didn’t want to say, what he told me
He said, without me he couldn’t make it through the day, ain’t that a shame

[Monica] And maybe you misunderstood, cause I can’t see how he could
Wanna change something that’s so good, all of my love was all it took

chorus

[Monica] Must you do the things you do, keep on acting like a fool
You need to know, it’s me not you and if you didn’t know it, girl it’s true

[Brandy] I think that you should realize and try to understand, why
He is a part of my life, I know it’s killing you inside

[Monica] You can say what you wanna say, what we have, you can’t take
From the truth, you can’t escape, I can tell the real, from the fake

[Brandy] When will you get the picture, you’re the past, I’m the future
Get away, it’s my time to shine, if you didn’t know, the boy is mine

chorus

[Monica] You can’t destroy this love I’ve found, your silly games, I won’t allow
The boy is mine, without a doubt, you might as well throw in the towel

[Brandy] What makes you think that he wants you

When I’m the one that brought him to
This special place that’s in my heart cause he was my love, right from the start

[chorus 2x]

[Brandy] He belongs to me [sang in chorus]
[Monica] The boy is mine, not yours
[Monica] Not yours [Brandy] But mine herhalen

I’m sorry that you seem to be confused – He belongs to me, the boy is mine

Jonatha Brooke –  Because I told you so                                    34

if i gave you the sky
if i laid down my life
would you believe me then?

if i promised to change
if i carried the blame
would you believe me then?

could you see it like me
and believe what i see
could you listen, and remember that i love you
only, because i told you, because i told you so.

if you told me you lied
but i stayed true and tried
would you believe me then?

and if your beauty was gone
but my love lingered on
would you believe me then?

could you see it like me
and believe what i see
could you listen and remember that i love you
only,
because i told you, because i told you so.

you take the wheel for now
i’m too tired to drive this one home anyhow,
for now

and when you mention my name
let this one thing remain,
my love,
believe me now.

 Is this all?   Jonatha Brooke                                             35

All things being equal, her beauty was not her fault,

And it was not her only advantage

Midst the feast and the novelty–the manliness of his charms…

So was it really such a shock, so much history in a kiss,

Besides they both knew it was over.

And what do they have to worry about, just privacy and pain

And the damage they’ve done

Is this all, can I go now, is this all

Is this all, can I go now, is this all?

So when you sleep do not dream, the dreams they weigh you down

When you carry them along with you

They will wrack your lovely body, report back to your soul

With all the sickening sweets of the afternoon

As we lose the last of innocence–like some romantic notion

Buried in the fashion of disdain.

You can make the world your apple–but take a bite before it sours–

Or you can make the world your charm or your chain

Is this all, can I go now, is this all

Is this all, can I go now, is this all?

 Jonatha Brooke – West Point                                                      36

I’m retravelling this lifeline that’s so close to home
We are on our way to West Point
Where your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up
In the air, and we will watch it fall


And I’m still the girl that loved you
When your eyes were open wide
And I’m still the girl that wandered on, still the girl that lied
‘Cause when I’d tell the truth, you would run and hide

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons
And I start to drink
I get lonely, get depressed

don’t sleep well nights, can’t get dressed
I can’t help myself

You’ll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel
And you’ll want to tell me something just like every other time
And our hopes will rise, and we will watch them fall

You’re still written in my days, all the pages coming back to me
I will carry you along, singing discreetly
Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife
Don’t want to die here and nobody know
Don’t want to die here and nobody know

chorus

Jeff Buckley – Halleluja                                                             37

I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?

It goes like this…the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled King composing Halleluja

                   Halleluja
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.

She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Halleluja

                   Halleluja
Baby I have been here before
I’ve seen this room, I’ve walked this floor, you know..
I used to live alone before I knew you.

I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Halleluja

         Halleluja
There was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?

Remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Halleluja

         Halleluja
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.

And it’s not a crime that you hear at night
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
it’s a cold and it’s a broken Halleluja              Halleluja

Cardigans – Rise & Shine                                               38

I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down

see the waves go down
see the moon alone
see the world unshown
I raise my head and whisper

rise and shine
rise and shine my sister

I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
so I’ve come to say goodbye…

Mariah Carey – Hero                                                                       39

There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away

chorus:
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It’s a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

chorus

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you’ll find the way

chorus


That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

Mariah Carey – Vision of Love                                                            40

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong, so I believed
And now I know I’ve succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you’ve given me

I’ve realized a dream
And I visualized the love that came to be
Feel so alive I’m so thankful that I’ve received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind, sweet destiny
And I’ll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights, so faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love, and it was all that you’ve given to me

I had a vision of love, and it was all that you

turned out to be

Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven                                           41

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?


I must be strong
And carry on
‘Cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I’ll find my way
Through night and day,
‘Cause I know I just can’t stay here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There’s peace I’m sure,
And I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
‘Cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven

‘Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Clouseau – Laat me nu toch niet alleen                              42

Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Radeloos en verloren
Sloop die muren om me heen
Help me zo bij jou te komen

Laat me eens je gezel zijn
Wees de gids die me zal leiden
Want ik ben reeds lang op reis
En zo moe, kom en bevrijd me

Neem me mee naar je land
Vol muziek en vol dromen
Leid me naar je land
Laat me in jouw wolken wonen

Laat me nu nu toch niet alleen
Neem mijn hand en toon me
De weg die leidt naar jou alleen
Help me zo bij jou te komen

Neem me mee naar je land
Vol muziek en vol dromen
Leid me naar je land
Laat me in jouw wolken wonen

Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Radeloos en verloren
Sloop die muren om je heen
Help me zo bij jou te komen

Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Radeloos, en verloren
Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Radeloos, en verloren

Phil Collins – You’ll Be in My Heart                                              43

Come stop your crying, it will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say

We’re not that different at all

chorus 1


Don’t listen to them, ‘cause what do they know
We need each other to have, to hold

Counting Crows – Long December                                   45

A long December and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can’t remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin’
Now the days go by so fast

And it’s one more day up in the canyons
And it’s one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it’s all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it’s one more day up in the canyons
And it’s one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

And it’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it’s one more day up in the canyon
And it’s one more night in Hollywood
It’s been so long since I’ve seen the ocean I guess I should

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Beverly Craven – Promise Me                                              45a

You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine
It’s four o’clock in the morning and it’s starting to get light
Now I’m right where I wanna be, losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night

You look like you’re in another world but I

can read your mind
How can you be so far away lying by my side

chorus:

When I go away I’ll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day, just

Promise me you’ll wait for me
‘Cause I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

solootje

chorus

And I’ll be home, I’ll be home

Promise me you’ll wait for me
‘Cause I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon

Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

Cranberries – Linger                                                               46

If you, if you could return

don’t let it burn, don’t let it fade.

I’m sure I’m not being rude

but it’s just your attitude,
It’s tearing me apart

It’s ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true

and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand?

Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?

Was it just a game to you?

Chorus:

But I’m in so deep

You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger?

Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you.

I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.


If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn’t be so confused

and I wouldn’t feel so used,
But you always really knew

I just wanna be with you.

Chorus herhalen

The Cranberries – Ode to My Family                                                47

Understand the things I say
Don’t turn away from me
‘Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn’t disagree
D’you see me, d’you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D’you notice, d’you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care

Unhappiness, where’s when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
‘Cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I’ve become
It wasn’t my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
‘Cause I liked it, I liked it
When I was out there
D’you know this, d’you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care

Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
‘Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care

Does anyone care

The Cranberries – Zombie                                                     48

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And if violence causes the silence
Who are we mistaking
But you see it’s not me
It’s not my family
In your head in your head
They are fighting

With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying

[Chorus]
In your head, in your head
Zombie
What’s in your head, in your head
Zombie


Another mother’s breaking heart is taking over

when the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It’s the same old thing since 1916
In your head in your head
Their still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are dying

[Chorus]

Sheryl Crow – All I Wanna Do                                                                           48a

Hit it!        This ain’t no disco, and it ain’t no country club either. This is LA.

All I want to do is have a little fun before I die
Says the man next to me, out of nowhere
It’s apropos of nothing he says his name is William
But I’m sure he’s Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy

And he’s plain ugly to me

and I wonder if he’s ever had a day of fun in his whole life

We are drinking beer at noon on a Tuesday
In the bar that faces the giant car wash
And the good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch breaks
Hosing and scrubbing as best they can, in skirts and suits

And they drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record stores, too
Well, they’re nothing like Billy and me, ´cause

chorusAll I wanna do is have some fun – I got a feeling I’m not the only one
         All I wanna do is have some fun – I got a feeling I’m not the only one
         All I wanna do is have some fun
         Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I like a good beer buzz, early in the morning
and Billy likes to peal the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an over-sized pack letting each 1 burn down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out He’s watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor

And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want-ads

But            chorus                 solo

Otherwise the bar is ours, the day and the night
And the car wash, too, the matches and the
Buds, and the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon


But All I wanna do is have some fun – I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun – I got a feeling the party has just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun – I won’t tell you that you’re the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard  2 x

Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy                                           48b

I belong, a long way from here
I put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And drank ’till I was thirsty again
We went searching, through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo’s rifle, Marilyn’s shampoo
And Benny Goodman’s cursive pen
Well, okay, I made this up
I promise you I’d never give up

chorus:
If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

Get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn’t been there before?

I come ‘round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed
Scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Okay, I still get stoned
I’m not the kind of girl you’d take home

chorus 2 x

We’ve been far

far away from here
I put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now, everything’s wrong?

chorus 2 x

Sheryl Crow – Strong Enough                                            48c

God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man
My man

Nothing’s true, and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
‘Cause you can’t change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man

             Lie to me, I promise I’ll believe
             Lie to me, but please don’t leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough
My man

When I’ve shown you
That I just don’t care
When I’m throwing punches in the air
When I’m broken down and I can’t stand

Would you be man enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me, but please don’t leave

Crowded House – Four Seasons in One Day                      49

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you’re feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can’t explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

It doesn’t pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

Crowded House – It’s Only Natural                                               50

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It’s bigger than us
You don’t have to worry about it
Ready or not here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
It’s gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

[Chorus]
It’s only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It’s only natural that you should
Feel the same way too

It’s easy when you don’t try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
You’ve seen me at my worst
And it won’t be the last time I’m down there


I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book that’s fallen down between your knees
Please let me have my way with you

chorus

It’s circumstantial, it’s nothing written in the sky
And we don’t even have to try


We’ll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink into the bay they’ll be under the rocks again
You don’t have to say I know you’re afraid

chorus

It’s circumstantial, it’s something I was born to
It’s only natural, can’t help it if I want to

Crowded house – Weather with you                                51

Walking ‘round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it’s the same room, but everything’s different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream

Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer the blue sky

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you

Well, there’s a small boat made of china
It’s going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you

Damn Yankees – High enough                                                          52

I don’t want to hear about it anymore,
It’s a shame I’ve got to live without you anymore.
There’s a fire in my heart,
A pounding in my brain, it’s driving me crazy.

We don’t need to talk about it anymore.
Yesterday’s just a memory; can we close the door?
I just made one mistake,
I didn’t know what to say when you called me baby.

Don’t say goodnight, say you’re gonna stay forever,
Oh, whoa, all the way.

chorus:

Can you take me high enough
to fly me over yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It’s never over and yesterday’s just a memory
Yesterday’s just a memory.

And I don’t want to live without you anymore.
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I’d know just what to do when you call me baby.

Don’t say goodbye, say you’re gonna stay forever
Oh, whoa, all the way

chorus       away


I was running for the door
The next thing I remember
I was running back for more
Ooh, yeah             solo

Don’t say goodbye, say you’re gonna stay forever

Oh, whoa, all the way, all the way

Deep Blue Something  –  Breakfast At Tiffany’s              52a

You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart
 

You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know that you just don’t care

chorus:
And I said what about breakfast at tiffany’s
She said: I think I, remember the film
and as I recall, I think we, both kinda liked it
And I said , “well, that’s the one thing we’ve got

I see you

the only one who knew me
and now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now

It’s plain to see we’re over
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone

You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know that you just don’t care

I’ll be loose I’ll be carefree

Gotta make my plans so in case
I’ll be prepared when I see you you smiling

‘Cause I feel so when I’m reaching out for your sky
I’ve boundless energy. I fell I could run a million miles
I’m riding on the wheel of fortune

I feel so high when I approach your sky

When I touch your sky, I want my joy to be discreet
Can’t seem to to hide the feeling that you knock me from my seat
When I’m talking with my friends, you’re the subject every time
I know I bore them but they do it to me sometimes

            I’ve seen you exposed your thoughts are nude
            Come on take off your pride baby
            You should wash your attitude

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,

I’m afraid of the dark,
‘specially when I’m in a park
And there’s no-one else around,
Ooh, I get the shivers


I don’t want to see a ghost,
It’s a sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Chorus


I’m a superstitious girl,
I’m the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit’s tail

I’ll take you up on a dare,
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I’ll be there,
Bungee jumping, I don’t care!

Chorus

life, doo, doot dooo doo, doot dooo

So after all is said and done
I know I’m not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to

Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain’t as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon

Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On                                      55

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go ’till we’re gone
Love was, when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we’ll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you’re here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on

You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Celine Dion – Think Twice                                             55a

Don’t think I can’t feel that there’s something wrong
You’ve been the sweetest part of my life so long
I look in your eyes, there’s a distant light
And you and I know there’ll be a storm tonight
This is getting serious
Are you thinking ‘bout you or us

chorus:
Don’t say what you’re about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby think twice

Baby think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Baby I know it ain’t easy when your soul cries out for higher ground
‘Coz when you’re halfway up, you’re always halfway down
But baby this is serious
Are you thinking ‘bout you or us

Melissa Etheridge – Come to my window                         55c

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I’ll be home soon

I would dial the numbers just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell and hold the hand of death
You don’t know how far I’d go to ease this precious ache
You don’t know how much I’d give or how much I can take


Just to reach you, just to reach you

oh to reach you


chorus:
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I’ll be home soon

Keeping my eyes open I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises I know that I can’t keep
Nothing fills the blackness tat has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood, I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you, just to reach you
Oh to reach you, oh

chorus
             I don’t care what they think
             I don’t care what they say
             What do they know about this love, anyway

       Come, come to my window
       I’ll be home, I’ll be home, I’ll be home
       I am coming home

You tell me I can go this far, but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love’s the kind that soon disappears



So don’t brag how you have changed
And everything’s been rearranged
I thought all that was over and done
But I still get the same from Each and Everyone


Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb
and I can cry because that’s something we’ve always done
you tell me I’m free of the past now and all those lies
then offer me the same thing in a different guise

You tell me I can go this far, but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love’s the kind that soon disappears

Extreme – Hole Hearted                                                     57

Oh yeah wooh, hey hey hey hey hey yeah

Life’s ambition occupy my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I’ve yet to find

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I’m not blind why can’t I see
That a circle can’t fit where a square should be

There’s a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can’t be filled with the things I do

Hole hearted [Repeat: x2]

This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kep warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I’m not blind why can’t I see
That a circle can’t fit where a square should be

chorus

There’s a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should have known from the start
I’d fall short with the things I do    Hole hearted [Repeat: x6]

Extreme – More than words                                                                 58

Sayin’ I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say it, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words


Now that I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you


More than words
Ooooohhhhhhh ooooohhhhhhh

More than… Words

Fugees – Ready or not                                             59

Ready or not, here I come, you can’t hide

Gonna find you and take it slowly

Ready or not, here I come, you can’t hide

Gonna find you and make you want me

You can’t run away

From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby

Cause I got a lot, oh yeah

And anywhere you go

My whole crew’s gonna know

You can’t hide from the block, oh no.

Gathering – great ocean road                                           60

It is all there
The earth and the ocean
They contain the power of our lives

This beautiful city
that surrenders to the nightfall
Carving the grounds we walk upon

And the air we all dare to ride it somehow

Blue and black is the sky
While tumbling down
Trapped into the freedom of an aeroplane

Deprived of sleep
we jump into the deep
With no knowledge whatsoever

There is no place
on the face
of this earth
Only silence
is the sound
of an angel

Gathering – Marooned                                                61

I know from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
is way too wide

And you don’t see me
‘cause I don’t have much to say

My emotional outlet
is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words
a tortured cry is making me see

That you don’t see me
‘cause I don’t have much to say

hours and hours of jealousy
are passing me by
Although hollow silence
is the only wave
going through your brain

And you don’t see me
‘cause I don’t have much to say

Gathering my electricity                         62

I send your name
up into the sky
And the wind blows it back into my face

You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea

With every wave the sea makes
My body gets weaker
and weaker…. and weaker..

You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea

And provides you
with my love

Goo Goo Dolls – Iris                                                         62a

And I’d give up forever to touch you
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

chorus

*stukje*   solo


chorus 2 x


I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Golden Earring – Going to the run                                             62b

I could bet on new-years eve
He’d call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright


            Ed’s got the looks of a movie star
            Ed’s got the smile of a prince
            He ride a bike instead of a car, I want to be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He’s just a friend of mine


            Ed’s got the rings and the colors
            Ed’s got the wind in his hair
            He goes a riding with the brothers, he’s got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel 2 x
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky


            Ed’s got the looks of a movie star
            Ed’s got the smile of a prince
            He’d ride a bike instead of a car, I’ll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel 2 x
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel                     repeat 1st chorus

Green Day – Basket Case                                                  63

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life’s a bore
So quit my whining cause it’s bringing her down

chorus
A ya-ya-ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

chorus
Or am I just stoned?

Nathalie Imbruglia – Torn                                                    64

thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry


Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care

what your heart is for
I don’t know him anymore


There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s whats going on, nothing’s fine, I’m torn

chorus:
I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now


I don’t care, I have no luck, I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things that I can’t touch, I’m torn

chorus

oooh   There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what’s going on, nothings right, I’m torn     

chorus

Janet Jackson – Together again                                              64a

There are times when I look above and beyond

Jewel – Foolish games                                                              65

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You’re always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You’re always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather.

Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and…

These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You’re breaking my heart.

You’re always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you’d speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.

You’d teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean.
I hid my soiled hands behind my back.
Somewhere along the line, I must have gone
Off track with you.

Excuse me, think I’ve mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.

Chorus
You took your coat off,Stood in the rain,You’re always crazy like that.

K’s Choice – 20.000 seconds                               66

20,000 seconds since you’ve left and I’m still counting
And 20,000 reasons to get up,
get something done, but I’m still waiting
Is someone kind enough to pick me up and give me food,
assure me that the world is good
But you should be here, you should be here

How colors can change and even the texture of the rain
And what’s that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor
I’d rather not deal with that right now
I’d rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worry about the ozone layer

And it’s almost like a corny movie scene
But I’m out of frame and the lighting’s bad
And the music has no theme
And we’re all so strong when nothing’s wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is far away
And all you need is you

K’s Choice – If you’re not scared                                   67

Outside it’s raining, still you shine
How I’ve missed your trembling hands inside of mine
I’ve been away for ages, still you care
Do you count the Sundays when I’m there

Teach me how to watch this game
The way you see it through your magical frame
Time is ticking, try to see
That I am you and you are me

Don’t deny that you’re afraid to go
Don’t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
If you’re not scared, then why am I

Tell me stories, tell me more
Make me feel guilty for being bored
Tell me how to pick up things I’ve dropped
Please keep talking, never stop

Don’t deny that you’re afraid to go
Don’t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don’t understand but how I try
If you’re not scared, then why am I

I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don’t understand but how I try
If you’re not scared, then why am I…

K’s choice – Not An Addict                                                            68

Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it’s almost out
We’re so creative, fast forward
We’re high above but on the floor
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there’s no more pain
I’m in heaven, I’m a god
I’m everywhere, I feel so high

It’s not an habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)

It’s over now, I’m cold, alone
I’m just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(Nothing means a thing to me)

It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I’m going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I’m falling and I’m falling.

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive

It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive
If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
I’m not an addict (maybe that’s a lie)
I’m not an addict
I’m not an addict
I’m not an addict

K’s Choice – Believe                                                                     69

bravely I look further than I see
knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I’m so aware of where I am, but I don’t know where that is
and there’s something right in front of me and I

Touch the fingers of my hand, and I wonder if it’s me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me – I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I’ll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it’s a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it’s me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh – I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless, vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me                    

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me                    

Wait for me, I’m nothing on my own
I’m willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you’re in front of me then I’ll

I watch the fingers of our hands and I’m grateful that it’s me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

I’m willing to go on but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything

K’s Choice – Quiet little place                                  70

In this quiet little place,
I can’t remember having known a different pace
In this quiet little place,
I can surrender to the beauty of its face

And now everything I see
Whether it’s an airplane or a tree
It makes me wonder
About the things I must have missed
And the chains around my wrists
They are no longer

In this quiet little place
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be back home
Where they care about what time it is
And spend their days answering the phone

And now everything I feel
Whether it’s fiction or it’s real
It’s so much clearer
Like the color of this light
It seems more dangerous and bright
But I don’t fear her

And slowly it fades, I’m back in the race
I have to fight it, I know
I don’t want to go away

In this quiet little place
You run your fingers through my hair and whisper “Hey”
And no matter how I try, I can’t seem to think of anything better to say
 

K’s Choice – Wait                                                                             71

I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I’m afraid
That you’ll be bored

It’s very real and true and sad
And hopeful just like me
It’s one of those things I’ll never tell
I’ll carve it in a tree

I follow you, I watch you
I thank god you’re in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
And we’re holding each others’ hand

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I’ll make you marry me, I’ll wait…

I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I’m not around
But deep down you must need me

I draw you, every single
Feature in my head
I try to do my homework
But I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I’ll make you marry me, I’ll wait…
I’ll make you marry me
I’ll make you marry me
I’ll make you marry, marry me…
I’ll wait

Annie Lennox – Cold                                                           71a

Come to me, run to me, do and be done with me
(Cold cold cold)
Don’t I exist for you, don’t I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)

            Everything I possess, given with tenderness
            Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
            Time it may take us but God only knows how I’ve

            paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy, it’s living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath

            Cold is the color of crystal the snow light
            That falls from the heavenly skies
            Catch me and let me dive under
            For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby
Slip me inside of your heart
Don’t I belong to you baby
Don’t you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that I loved you right from the start,
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain’t that just the way things are


Winter has frozen us, let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering, blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)

Cold is the color of crystal, the snow light

that falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under

for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

Annie Lennox – Little Bird                                                               71b

I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
And cry, cry, cry, yeah

I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here, yeah

chorus:
But mamma, I feel so low
Mamma, where do I go?
Mamma, what do I know?
Mamma, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best
But this little bird’s fallen out of that nest now
I’ve got a feeling that it might have been blessed
So I’ve just got to put these wings to test

For I am just a troubled soul who’s weighted
Weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to

carry on till I can lay my burden down


Give me the strength to lay this burden down, down, down, yeah
Give me the strength to lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down

chorus


I feel so low
Mamma, where do I go?
Mamma, what do I know?
Mamma, we reap what we sow

Annie Lennox – The Gift                                                   71c

Darling don’t you understand
I feel so ill at ease
The room is full of silence and it’s getting hard to breathe
Take this guilted cage of pain and set me free
Take this overcoat of shame
It never did belong to me
It never did belong to me

I need to go outside
I need to leave the smoke
‘Cause I can’t go on living in this same sick joke
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
You have given me the gift

For we have fallen from our shelves
To face the truth about ourselves
And we have tumbled from our trees
Tumbled from our trees

And I can almost
I can almost hear the rain falling
Don’t you know it feels so good
So let’s go out into the rain again
Just like we said we always would

Tudududu

Annie Lennox – Why                                                                        71d

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
But when I start to try to tell you
That’s when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble’s only just begun

I tell myself too many times
Why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth, falling from your mouth, tell me

Why 2x

I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you’re thinking
And I’ve heard it said too many times
That you’d be better off, besides
Why can’t you see this boat is sinking


Let’s go down to the water’s edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turn me inside out, turn me inside out, tell me

Why, tell me, why


This is the book I never read, these are the words I never said
This is the path I’ll never tread, these are the dreams I’ll dream instead
This is the joy that’s seldom spread, these are the tears,the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread, these are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
this is how I feel. Do you know how I feel?
‘Cause I don’t think you know how I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
You don’t know what I feel

Live – I Alone                                                                                  72a

It’s easier not to be wise
And measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I’ll read to you here, save your eyes
You’ll need them, your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you’ve been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won’t hesitate

To leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

chorus:             I alone love you
                                    I alone tempt you
                                    I alone love you
                                    Fear is not the end of this
                                    I alone love you
                                    I alone tempt you
                                    I alone love you

It’s easier not to be great
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself chained to fate

chorus

I alone love you, I alone tempt you, I alone love you

Oh, now, we took it back too far
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
All come runnin’ back to you
All these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah

Madonna – Frozen                                                    73

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You’re frozen when your heart’s not open

You’re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You’re broken when your heart’s not open

[Chorus:]

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key


Now there’s no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you my heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You’re frozen when your heart’s not open

chorus


Amanda Marshall – Beautiful Goodbye                                      73a

Fed up with my destiny and this place of no return
Think I’ll take another day and slowly watch it burn
It doesn’t really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

We staggered through these empty streets, laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me. your confessions kept me warm
And I don’t really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye


When I see you now
I wonder how
I could of watched you walk away
If I let you down, please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

In these days of no regrets I’ll keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can’t help but wonder why
We let it pass us by


When I see you now
I wonder how
I could of watched you walk away
If I let you down, please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

baby what can I do oh to get through to you

sometimes I cry, it’s a fool’s lullaby

sometimes I cry, it’s just a fool’s lullaby

Ow, I’m dying inside

Amanda Marshall – Dark horse                                        73b

Indian summer, Abilene
You were new in town, I was nineteen
And sparks flew
They called us crazy behind our backs
“Romantic fools” we just let them laugh
Because we knew

            It may be a long shot
            We may get lonely down the line
            But love knows no reason
            And I won’t let ‘em make up my mind

chorus:
My money’s riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it’s the lucky one
And it’s true color’s gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run

The stars are brighter in the desert sky
No need to wonder or justify
Where this will lead
I wear your locket, our picture’s inside
Inscription says ’the joy’s in the ride’
And I believe


            That something so sacred
            Is something worth this kind of fight
            Cause love knows no patience
            You can’t please everyone all the time

chorus    *solo*             

So rare, so sweet
Together baby, I know

we can disappear, be free

chorus 2 x


Indian summer, Abilene, you were new in town, I was nineteen

Amanda Marshall – Let It Rain                                             73c

I have given, I have given and got none
Still I’m driven by something I can’t explain
It’s not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame

chorus:
Let it rain, let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn’t worth the tears you cry
To have a perfect alibi
Now I’m beaten at the hands of my own game

chorus

It isn’t easy to be kind
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I’ll be free
            *solo*
I do my best not to complain
My face is dirty from the strain
I only hope one day I’ll come clean

Rain, let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain, let it rain on me

Come take my hand, we can walk to the light
And without fear we can see through the darkest night 

chorus

Massive attack – Teardrop                                                  74


Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

Sarah McLachlan – Adia                                                   74a

Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I let you down
don’t you know I tried so hard to love you in my way
it’s easy, let it go…

Adia I’m empty since you left me
trying to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone to see where we went wrong

‘cause there’s no one left to finger
there’s no one here to blame
there’s no one left to talk to honey
and there ain’t no one to buy our innocence

´cause   chorus:

we are born innocent
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it’s easy, we all falter. Does it matter?

Adia I thought that we could make it
(but) I know I can’t change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery, a friend who won’t betray


I pull you from your tower, I take away your pain
and show you all the beauty you possess
if you’d only let yourself believe

that  chorus
 solo

believe me Adia, we are still innocent

Sarah McLachlan – Angel                                                   74b

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always some reason to feel not good enough
And it’s hard, at the end of the day

I need some distraction, oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And maybe empty, oh, and weightless, and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

chorus:
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don’t make no difference, escape one last time
It’s easier to believe

in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

chorus

You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Sarah McLachlan – Do what you have to do                      74c

What ravages of spirit conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster, broken by the rules of love
And fate has led you through it

you do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it

you do what you have to do

chorus:
And I have the sense to recognize that
I don’t know how to let you go

Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul
I’m ever swiftly moving, trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do

chorus
I don’t know how to let you go

A glowing ember, burning hot and burning slow
Deep within I’m shaken by the violence of existing for only you
I know I can’t be with you

I do what I have to do
I know I can’t be with you

I do what I have to do

chorus
I don’t know how to let you go
(I don’t know how to let you go)

Maria Mckee – Show Me Heaven                                         74d

There you go, flashing fever from your eyes.
Hey babe, come over here and shut down tight


I’m not denying we’re flying above it all
Hold my hand, don’t let me fall
You’ve such amazing grace
I’ve never felt this way

chorus:
Show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

Here I go. I’m shaking just like breeze
Hey babe, I need your hands to steady me


I’m not denying I’m frightened as much as you
Though I’m barely touching you
I’ve shivers down my spine
and it feels divine

chorus

If you know what it’s like to dream a dream,
baby hold me tight and let this be your…heaven

Cover me.
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

Gary Moore – Still got the blues                                         74e

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way there’s a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known, time after time

So long, it was so long ago,
But I’ve still got the blues for you.

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way It’s a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You’re playin’ to win, but you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

       So many years since I’ve seen your face
       Here in my heart, there’s an empty space
       Where you used to be

solo

So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go,
There is one thing I know,
I’ve still

got the blues

for you

Alanis Morissette – Hand in my pocket                                         75

I’m broke but I’m happy, I’m poor but I’m kind
I’m short but I’m healthy, yeah
I’m high but I’m grounded, I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful baby


What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five


I feel drunk but I’m sober, I’m young and I’m underpaid
I’m tired but I’m working, yeah
I care but I’m restless, I’m here but I’m really gone
I’m wrong and I’m sorry baby


What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be quite alright
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette


And what it all comes down to

Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign


I’m free but I’m focused, I’m green but I’m wise
I’m hard but I’m friendly baby
I’m sad but I’m laughing, I’m brave but I’m chicken shit
I’m sick but I’m pretty baby


And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano


And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything’s just fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab…

Alanis Morissette – HEAD OVER FEET                               76


I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

chorus:

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it, it’s all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

chorus

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend, best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now, I am aware now

chorus

Alanis Morissette – IRONIC                                                         77


An old man turned ninety-eight

he won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay

It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late


And isn’t it ironic…dontcha think

chorus:             It’s like rain on your wedding day
                                    It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
                                    It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
                                    Who would’ve thought…it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well isn’t this nice…


And isn’t it ironic…dontcha think

chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way

of helping you out when you think everything’s gone wrong

and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic…dontcha think
A little too ironic…and yeah I really do think…

chorus

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out, helping you out

Alanis Morissette – Mary Jane                                                     78

What’s the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don’t disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It’s a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you’re on it

I hear you’re counting sheep again, Mary Jane
What’s the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you’re losing weight again, Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you’re losing it for

Well it’s full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There’s a few more bruises
If that’s the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane. are you happy
Please don’t censor your tears

You’re the sweet crusader
And you’re on your way
You’re the last great innocent
And that’s why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
‘Cause all that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
So keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me – tell me
What’s the matter Mary Jane
Tell me – tell me
Please be honest Mary Jane
Tell me

Alanis Morissette – Not the doctor                                                 79

don’t want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don’t want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer

I don’t want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air


I don’t want to be adored for what I merely represent to you

I don’t want to be your babysitter, you’re a very big boy now
I don’t want to be your mother
I didn’t carry you in my womb for nine months

Show me the back door

chorus:

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you’d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it’s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

I don’t want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don’t want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don’t want to be your food or the light

from the fridge on your face at midnight, hey

What are you hungry for


I don’t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don’t want to be your idol, see this pedestal is high and I’m afraid of heights
I don’t want to be lived through a vicarious occasion
Please open the window

chorus

I don’t want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don’t want to be responsible for your fractured heart
and it’s wounded beat
I don’t want to be a substitute for the smoke you’ve been inhaling
What do you thank me-
What do you thank me for

chorus

Alanis Morissette – One                                             80

I am the biggest hypocrite
I’ve been undeniably jealous
I have been loud and pretentious
I have been utterly threatened


I’ve gotten candy for my self-interest
the sexy treadmill capitalist
heaven forbid I be criticized
heaven forbid I be ignored

chorus:
I have abused my power forgive me
you mean we actually are all

one

I’ve been out of reach and separatist
heaven forbid average (whatever average means)
I have compensated for my days
of powerlessness

chorus

did you just call her amazing?
surely we both can’t be amazing!
and give up my hard earned status
as fabulous freak of nature?

chorus
always looked good on paper
sounded good in theory

Alanis Morissette – Right through you                            81

Wait a minute man
You mispronounced my name
You didn’t wait for all the information
Before you turned me away


Wait a minute sir
You kind of hurt my feelings
You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet
And you’ve got meal ticket taste

chorus:

I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you

You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while


Your shake just like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine dine, sixty nine me
But didn’t hear a damn word I said

chorus

Hello Mr. Man
You didn’t think I’d come back
You didn’t think I’d show up with my army
And this ammunition on my back


Now that I’m Miss Thing
Now that I’m a zillionaire
You scan the credits for your name
And wonder why it’s not there          chorus

Alanis Morissette – Thank you                                    82

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I’m full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india  terror disillusionment
thank you frailty  consequence  silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india  terror  disillusionment
thank you frailty  consequence  silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india  providence  disillusionment
thank you nothingness  clarity  silence

Alanis Morissette – That I Would Be Good                           83

That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you

Alanis Morissette – Uninvited                                              84

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave

But you, you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepard meet shepard

But you you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don’t think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate.

Alanis Morissette – UR                                                        85

burn the books

they’ve got too many names and psychosis

all this incriminating evidence

would surely haunt me if someone broke into my house

suits in the living room

do you realize guys I was born in 1974

we’ve got someone here to explain your publishing

we know how much you love to be in front of audiences

hopeful you are

schoolbound you are

naive you are

driven you are

take a trip to new york with your guardian

and your fake identification

when they said “is there something anything

you’d like to know young lady?” you said

“yes I’d like to know what kind of people i’ll be dealing with”

precocious you are

headstrong you are

terrified you are

ahead of your time you are

don’t mind our staring but

we’re surprised you’re not in a far-gone asylum

we’re surprised you didn’t crack up, lord knows that we would’ve

we would’ve liked to have been there but you keep pushing us away

resilient you are

big time you are

ruthless you are

precious you are

Alanis Morissette – Wake Up                                                            86

You like snow but only if it’s warm
You like rain but only if it’s dry
There’s no sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
There’s no fundamental excuse for the granted I’m taken for

‘Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you

You like pain but only if it doesn’t hurt too much
And you sit, and you wait, to receive
There’s an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
Well there’s an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence
Could make you try tonight

chorus

There’s no love, no money, no thrill anymore

There’s an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
And there’s an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand

But

chorus

Get up, get up, get up off of it 2 x
Get out, get outta here, enough already

Get up, get up, get up off of it
Wake up

Alanis Morissette – You learn                                                      87

oh, oh

I, recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah
I, recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeah

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

chorus:

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

I, recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I, recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

chorus

I, I, oh, oh

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you’re gonna have to eventually, anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

You grieve you learn, you choke you learn
You laugh you learn, you choose you learn
You pray you learn, you ask you learn
You live you learn

Alanis Morissette – You oughta know                                                              88

I want you to know that I’m happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both.

An older version of me, is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?
I’m sure she’d make a really excellent mother.

‘Cause the love that you gave, that we made
Wasn’t able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died? ’til you die, but you’re still alive.

Chorus:
And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know.


You seem very well, things look peaceful
I’m not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

‘Cause the love that you gave, that we made
Wasn’t able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died? ’til you die, but you’re still alive.

Chorus


‘Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I’m not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
(And you know it)
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back
I hope you feel it, well, can you feel it?

chorus

Mr Big – To be with you                                                                 89

Hold on, little girl
Show me what he’s done to you
Stand up, little girl
A broken heart can’t be that bad
When it’s through, it’s through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

chorus:
I’m the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you’ll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up. Who cares about little boys
That talk too much?
I’ve seen it all go down
The game of love was all rained out
Let me be the one to hold you

chorus

Why be alone when we can be together, baby?
You can make my life worth while
I can make you start to smile
When it’s through, it’s through
And fate will twist the both of you
Let me be the one to show you

chorus


I’m the one who wants to be with you
Let me be the one to show you

Now that I’ve lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it’s breaking my heart you’re leaving
Baby I’m greaving

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of things turn bad out there

chorus:

Oh baby baby it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child girl

You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it’s breaking my heart in two
‘Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don’t be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware

chorus

Baby I love you, but if you want to leave take good care

But I don’t care
I’m so horny but that’s okay, my will is good

Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

Nirvana – The man who sold the world                   92a

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago


Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world


I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago


Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world

No doubt – don’t speak                                                                                                93

You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always

I really feel
That I’m losing my best friend
I can’t believe this could be the end

It looks as though you’re letting go
And if it’s real, well I don’t want to know

chorus:
Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me ‘cause it hurts
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don`t tell me ‘cause it hurts

Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are alltogether mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

chorus

It’s all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are…

You and me
I can see us dying … are we?

Chorus

Heather Nova – Maybe an angel                                             94

I put my hands where your wings should be,
I put my feet where the earth should be
And I can’t see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on.

chorus:
Something I feel,
You are an angel, or maybe you could’ve been
Something out here
You are an angel or maybe you could’ve been.

I’ve got this light hangs over me
I’ve got this fear cuts into me
And I can’t see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on.

chorus

See how they run
And nobody said you would go
See how they fall
And I can’t see very far
And when you said you were dead I hung on.

chorus


See how they run
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel.

Heather Nova – Not only human                                                     95

Morning is almost here – let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don’t think I could breathe now with you gone
But it’s not weakness it’s just something I’ve begun

Maybe there’s a light that’s always on
Maybe we’re not only human
Maybe there’s a light that’s always on
And we’re not only human

When you’re sleeping your ceramic
You’re surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Change the street change the decade
Still the longing’s left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?

chorus

            brug:

            When all is said and done
            When all the weight is gone
            We’re not only human

Life is something set to music
I can hear it when I’m sad
There’s a chord in every muscle
Every kiss you ever had
There’s a power when you’re near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but I’m guessing
When we die we’re not alone

Chorus

Heather Nova – Walk This World                                                                       96                                               

I have slept beside the winter
And the green is growing slow
I have watched you find the places
Hidden by the snow
I have tripped into a valley
That is blue till you can see
I want you to come walk this world with me

chorus:
With the light in our eyes it’s hard to see

Holding on and on to what we believe
With the light in our eyes it’s hard to see
I’m not touched but I’m aching to be
I want you to come walk this world with me

And I’m sucked in by the wonder
And I’m fucked up by the lies
And I dig a hole to lie in
And I build some wings to fly
And I think that I could love you ‘cause
You know how to be free
I want you to come walk this world with me

chorus

And it’s burning in our fingers
And it’s burning on the road
And I like the way you’re broken
And I’ll like you when you’re old
And I see you in the garden
And I feel you plant the seed
I want you to come walk this world with me

chorus

Oasis – Wonderwall                                                                         97

Today is gonna be the day

that they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow

realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody

feels the way I do, about you now

Back beat, the word was on the street

that the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before

but you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody

feels the way I do about you now

chorus:
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don’t know how

Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day

but they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow

realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody

feels the way I do, about you now

chorus

I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall

I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me

Sinéad O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U                                   98

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said girl you better try to have fun
No matter what you do, but he’s a fool
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Joan Osborne – One of Us                                                  98a

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

chorus:
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin’ to make his way home?

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?

chorus

Just tryin’ to make his way home
Like back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin’ on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

chorus
Just tryin’ to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryin’ to make his way home

Nobody callin’ on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Son she said , have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin’ but a fool

While you were sittin’ home alone at age thirteen
Your real father was dyin’

sorry you didn’t see him but I’m glad we talked

Oh I, oh, I’m still alive


Oh she walks slowly across a young man’s room
She said I’m ready, for you

I can’t remember anything to this very day
‘Cept the look, yeah the look, oh

Now I can’t see, I just stare


I, I, I’m still alive

And is that the question? Oh
And if so, if so, who answers?
Who answers?

Pearl Jam – Black                                                           100

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

were laid spread out before me as her body once did


All five horizons revolved around her soul-as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn


Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds

of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed every day

I take a walk outside, I’m surrounded by some kids at play
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?


Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head.
I’m spinning. Oh, I’m spinning.
How quick the sun can drop away.

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black.
Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I’ll be. Yeah.

Uh huh… Uh huh… Ooh.


I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life.
I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky

but why, why, why can’t it be, oh, can’t it be mine?
Oh… Ohh yeah oh.

Do do do do do do do (x20 total) Yeah… Yeah…

Pearl Jam – Jeremy                                                                        101

At home, drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top, lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn’t give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn’t care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today  2x

Clearly I remember pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Mmmm but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recessed lady’s breast
How could I forget


He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard


Daddy didn’t give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn’t wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world


Jeremy spoke in class today   3x

oooh oooh oooh oooh
Try to forget this (Try to forget this)
Try to erase this (Try to erase this)
From the blackboard


Jeremy spoke in class today  etc

De Poema’s – Mijn houten hart                                     101a

Mijn hart is niet van steen
Een geval van zuiver hout
Het was het beste dat ik vinden kon
Toen iemand wegging met het goud
Mijn hart is van het hardste hout
Maar het buigt nog als het moet
Maar niet te ver en rustig aan
Ik weet nog niet echt wat het doet

refrein:
Dit is mijn hart, mijn houten hart
De dames voor u hebben het alvast verzwaard
Dus wees maar lief, dat kan geen kwaad
En stelen lijkt me niet de moeite waard

Ik heb er goed op laten lopen
Dan doet het niet zo’n pijn
Als toen ik het origineel nog had
Het gouden, goud maar klein
Dit hart, ik heb het pas gekocht
(Bewust een tweedehands) Bewust een tweedehands
Je blijft geen gouden kopen (Je blijft geen gouden kopen)
Ook al had je wel de kans

refrein 2 x
En stelen lijkt me niet de moeite waard


Het voordeel van een houten hart, je bent voorzichtiger met vuur
De splinters zijn voor anderen
Er hoeft geen slot op en is dus helemaal niet duur
 *  Mijn houten hart, mijn houten hart   *

refrein 2 x
Dit is mijn hart (mijn houten hart) 4x Oooh oooh

Portishead – Glory Box                                                     101b

I’m so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long
Just

chorus:
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be, a woman
I just want to be a woman

From this time, unchained
We’re all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room

Radiohead – Creep                                                           102

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fuckin’ special


chorus:         But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,
                    What the hell am I doin’ here?
                    I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts,
I wanna have control,
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice,
When I’m not around,
You’re so fuckin’ special,
I wish I was special

Whatever you want,

Bonnie Raitt en Jackson Browne – My opening farewell                             103

Baby stands before an open window
Looking so far away
He can almost feel the southern wind blow
Gently touching his restless day

He turns from his window to me
Sad smile his apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door

Daylight loses to another evening
And still he spares me the word goodbye
And sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry

Suddenly its so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So I’m offering these to him as if to be kind:

chorus:

       There’s a train everyday leaving either way
There’s a world, you know
There’s a way to go
I’ll soon believe it’s just as well
This is my opening farewell

A child’s drawings left there on the table
And a woman’s silk is lying on the floor
I would keep them here if I were able
To lock you safe behind this open door

Suddenly it’s so clear to me
That I’d asked you to see what you may never see

And now my kind words find their way back to me

chorus

REM – Losing my religion                                                              103a

Oh life is bigger
It’s bigger than you, and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to, the distance in your eyes
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I set it up

chorus:
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper of every waking hour I’m choosing my confessions

trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I set it up

Consider this, consider this
The hint of the century, consider this
The slip that brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

LeAnn Rimes – How do I live                                           104

How do I, get through one night without you
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be…
Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
Your my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave..
Baby you would take away everything good in my life

And tell me now, how do I live without you
I want to know, how do I breathe without you
If you ever go, how do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, Oh how do I live

Without you, there’d be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life,
There’d be no world left for me
And I, baby I don’t know what I would do
I’d be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life

chorus

Please tell me baby
How do I go on

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything, need you with me
Baby don’t you know that your everything good in my life

And tell me now, how do I live without you

Seal – Kiss from a rose                                                   105   

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill.

But did you know that when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
The more I get of you the stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom

a light hits the gloom on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

chorus

I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I’ve been kissed by a rose ( on the grey)
…And if I should fall, at all
I’ve been kissed by a rose (on the grey)


There is so much a man can tell you, etc

But did you know etc

chorus
Now that your rose is in bloom.

Skunk Anansie – Brazen (Weep)                                       106

I called you brazen
Called you whore right to your face
And watched you silently
And publicly disgraced
I didn’t notice
When you strengthened like a vice
That you were trembling
And burned beneath the ice

chorus:
Why don’t you weep when I hurt you?
Why don’t you weep when I cut you?
You don’t bleed, and the anger builds up inside

2x

You said a prayer
And I betrayed you with a kiss
I never realized that all
Had come to this
So keep your dignity
Don’t throw it all to waste
Stronger feelings
Than you’ve ever learned to face

chorus

Skunk Anansie – Hedonism                                                 107

I hope you’re feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all, it seems
I wonder what you’re doin’ now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now?
Or are those special moods for someone else?
I hope you’re feeling happy now

chorus:
Just because you feel good
Doesn’t make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Does laughter still discover you?
I see through all the smiles that look so right
Do you still have the same friends now
To smoke away your problems and your life?
Oh how do you remember me?
The one that made you laugh until you cried
I hope you’re feeling happy now

chorus 3 x

I wonder what you’re doing now
I hope you’re feeling happy now
I wonder what you’re doing now
I hope you’re feeling happy now

Lost in time I can’t count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind

And now I sit here I’m all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
‘cos I wanted you

chorus

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I’m no ones fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now I’m love last home
I’m all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my heart, there’d be no space for air
‘cos I wanted you

In this tainted soul, in this weak young heart
Am I too much for you

Will Smith – Fresh Prince Of Bel Air                                108a

Now this is the story all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside down
and I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia born and raised
on the playground where I spent most of my days
chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys said “were up to no good”
started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said “youre moving with your aunte and uncle in Bel-Air”

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
licensplate said “Fresh” and had a dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabby “Yo, home smell you later”
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

Say you’ll be there
I’m, giving you everything
All that joy can bring, this I swear

Last time, that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends, hey
But now, we’re going ‘round in circles
Tell me will this deja vu never end, oh


Now you tell me that you’ve fallen in love
Well I never ever thought that would be, eh
This time, you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me

            But any fool can see they’re falling
            I gotta make you understand
I’m, giving you everything, all that joy can bring, this I swear
I give you everything
And, all that I want from you is the promise you, will be there
Say you will be there, yeah


Oow, say you will be there
Won’t you sing it with me?

If you, put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for, oh
If you, can’t work this equation
Then I guess I’ll have to show you the door


            There is no need to say you love me
            It would be better left unsaid
chorus


            Any fool can see they’re falling
            I gotta make you understand

Lisa Stansfield & George Michael – These are the days of our lives          111

Sometimes I get to feelin’ I was back in the old days – long ago
When we were kids when we were young

Thing seemed so perfect – you know

The days were endless we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin’ – we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately – I just don’t know
The rest of my life’s been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you

You can’t turn back the clock, you can’t turn back the tide
Ain’t that a shame
I’d like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game


No use in sitting and thinkin’ on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately – I just don’t know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives
They’ve flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change


Those were the days of our lives – yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now
but one thing’s still true
When I look and I find  I still love you


I still love you

Sting – Fields Of Gold                                                        111a

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold


So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
We’ll forget the sun in a jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold


See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

brug       I never made promises lightly
             And there have been some that I’ve broken
             But I swear in the days still left
             We’ll walk in fields of gold
             We will walk in fields of gold
solo

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold 3x

So where ya going to tomorrow?

So would you even care?

Will she smell alone?

Sundays – Here’s Where The Story Ends                                                     113

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
I can see how, people look down
They’re on the inside

Here’s where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how, people look down
I’m on the outside

Here’s, where the story ends    Ooh here’s, where the story ends

It’s that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It’s that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it’s the memories of the shed, that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I’m on the outside

Here’s, where the story ends    Ooh here’s, where the story ends

It’s that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would’ve thought, the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It’s that little souvenir, of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise

Here’s, where the story ends  Ooh here’s, where the story ends

Sundays – My Finest Hour Lyrics                                      114

when the world, it shows me up

my clothes, they show me up

I never knew this before

my finest hour that I’ve ever known

was finding a pound on the Underground

when my words came stumbling out

and then I went tumbling out

[I never believed/I’ve never been here] before

and the finest hour that I’ve ever known

was finding a pound on the Underground

and I keep hoping you are the same as me

and I’ll send you letters and come to your house for tea

we are who we are, what do the others know

but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go

home

when the words came stumbling out of my mouth

and I went tumbling out [here, no no, no no]

but I keep hoping you are the same as me

and I’ll send you letters and come to your house for tea

we are who we are, what do the others know

but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go

oh, I’m going home

but I’ll keep hoping you are the only one

yes, and I’ll send you letters, oh, wouldn’t it be such fun

oh, we are who we are, whatever the others say

but poetry is not for me, and much as I’d like to stay

oh, I just want to go home

you’re, you’re, you’re too young

[should’ve been], you, you’re, you’re too young

[it should’ve been], you too, you’re too, you’re too young

[it should’ve been], you, you, you’re too young

[you should’ve been, safer, saner]

[bribed the judge and then] sat down

ooh, you’re, you’re, you’re too young

Sundays – You’re not the only one I know                                   115

Where’s the harm in voicing a doubt,

you’ll find me in the lavatory.
And where’s the harm in talking out loud

when I’m on my own?


What’s so wrong with reading my stars

when I’ll be in the lavatory?
And what is so wrong with counting the cars

when I’m all alone?


chorus

You’re not the only one that I know

and I’m too proud to talk to you anyway.
You’re not the only one that I know

and I’m far too proud to talk to you any day.

So I say I’m in love with the world,

and what is so wrong with voicing a doubt

when I’m on my own?


It’s perfectly fine to sleep in a chair

from Monday ’til Saturday.
And what is so wrong with talking out loud

when I’m all alone?


chorus

So they rode out west to the seaside

and they gladly decided to stay.
After two hours wandering outside,

ooh, the sea air drove them away, yeah.
You’re not the only one that I know

and I’m too proud to talk to you anyway.
You’re not the only one that I know

and I’m far too proud to talk to you any day.
You’re not the only one but I’m far too proud you’re,
son, you’re young, but I know, I know, I know, I know I’m far too proud to talk to you any day
but if you do, don’t you know, that I don’t mind, no, no, no

Ten Sharp – You                                                                          115a

It’s – alright with me

as long as you are by my side
talk, or just say nothing

I don’t mind, your looks never lie


            I was always on the run, finding out

            what I was looking for and I

            was always insecure, aw, just until I found

Words – often don’t come easy

I never loved

to show you the inside of me oh no my baby, but you

were always patience

dragging out what I tried to hide

            I was always on the run, finding out

            what I was looking for and I

            was always insecure, until I found

chorus:
You

you were always on my mind

you

you’re the one I’m living for
You

you’re my everlasting fire

oooh you’re my always shining star

solo


The night’s – always a good friend

a glass of wine and the lights down low
And you – lying beside me, me full of lovin’ and filled with hope

Thunder – Low Life In High Places                                              116

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the desperate people go
And mama, don’t let them stray
They won’t find, peace of mind, in such a lonely place
           

            Wannabes and losers, all trying to get a break
            They don’t give a damn, they’ll do whatever it takes
            If they climb the ladder, they get to play for higher stakes
            That’s why there’s low life in high places

Mama, things have changed since you were young
When you scream, in the dead of night
Now no one ever comes
And a poor man, he’s cast as the villan and a thief
See him down on the street, begging for enough to eat

            Waiting on the corner, I saw her waiting for the man
            When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands
            I should’ve tried to warn her, and make her understand
            There is low life in high places

There is low life, like you never even knew
There is low life, and it lives in me and you
But we don’t all let it through

Don’t let ‘em go, you’ve got to have some pity
Don’t you let ‘em go
You’ve got to keep ‘em away, from the big bad city

(SOLO)

            Waiting on the corner, I saw her waiting for the man
            When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands
            I should’ve tried to warn her, and make her understand

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the desperate people go
And mama, don’t you let them stray
They won’t find, peace of mind in such a lonely place

TLC – No Scrubs                                                                               117

A scrub is a guy that think he’s fine and is
Also known as a buster (buster, buster)
Always talkin’ about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So
 

brug:     No, I don’t want your number (no)
                        I don’t want to give you mine and (no)
                        I don’t want to meet you nowhere (no)
                        Don’t want none of your time and

chorus: No, I don’t want no scrub
                        A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
                        Hanging out the passenger side
                        Of his best friend’s ride
                        Trying to holler at me  

                        2x

But a scrub is checkin’ me but his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
‘Cause I’m lookin’ like class and he’s lookin’ like trash
Can’t get wit’ no deadbeat ass
So (yeah, yeah)

brug

chorus

                        If you don’t have a car and you’re walking

                        Oh yea son I’m talking to you
                        If you live at home wit’ your momma

                        Oh yes son I’m talking to you
                        If you have a shorty but you don’t show love

                Oh yes son I’m talking to you
                Wanna get with me with no money
                oh no I don’t want no (oh)

TLC – Waterfalls                                                               117a

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can’t touch
If at any time he’s in a jam, she’ll be by his side
But he doesn’t realize he hurts her so much


But all the praying just ain’t helping at all

‘cause he can’t seem to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money

the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me

chorus:
Don’t go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you’re moving too fast

Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation

but he just can’t see
She gives him loving that his body can’t handle
But all he can say is baby it’s good to me


One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn’t recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn’t know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y’all don’t hear me

chorus  2x


Rap

I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin’ a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin’ hope
Is for the folk who can’t cope
Wit such an endurin’ pain
That it keeps ‘em in the pourin’ rain
Who’s to blame
For tootin’ caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else’s brain
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin’ prey to crime
I say the system got you victim
to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin’ true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

chorus 2 x

Train – Drops of Jupiter                    in C                                                                   117b

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere

with drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey hey

She acts like summer and walks like rain

reminds me that there’s time to change, hey hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon

she listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey…Hey, hey

But tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar, and did you miss me

while you were looking for yourself out there?

Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey, yeah

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol’ Jane, told a story about a man

who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance

Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me

But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
            And tell me did you sail across the sun
            Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
            And that heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself

Na-na, na-na, na-na
And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?

And did you fall from a shooting star, fall from a shooting star?
And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

Tuck n Patti – heaven down here                                                    118

Isn’t it love in this life that you need

You can offer your soul to an altar of sacrifice
But give your heart to me

Let’s bring Heaven on down
I don’t want to wait for the angels

Kiss the moonlight on your face
I need you now
I need you now

Let’s bring Heaven down here

Tuck n Patti – Learning how to fly                                                    119

When your heart is low feel the breezes blow
It’s all right you just take your time
There’s no hurry now that you’re on your way
When you’re learning how to fly

No more wandering ‘round, step up off the ground
You will find you can glide on by
There’s a magic place that is just for you
When you’re learning how to fly

Chorus:
You’ve always known that this was not your home
You’ve been longing for that place
Where you would not feel so all alone
Well now that time has come for you to fly away
Just breathe on in then breathe on out
And you’ll be on your way

Watch the ocean rise, say your sad good-byes
Don’t be shy, go ahead and cry
There’s a light to guide and you’re really on your way
Now you’re learning how to fly

Now you are flying, rising, floating
Sailing on this blissful ocean
Everything you’ve always wanted now
Learning how to fly

Freedom comes while you are soaring
Far away from cares and longing
Take this moment, open up your eyes
You’re learning how to fly

chorus

You are higher now, feeling lighter now
So much joy, you just have to go
Feel the greatest love that you’ve ever ever known
When you’re learning how to fly

Shania Twain – You’re still the one                                    119a

Looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday

They said, I bet they’ll never make it
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together still going strong

chorus:

(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss good night

Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
They said, I bet they’ll never make it
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together still going strong

chorus   2 x

Im so glad we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby

U2 – One                                                                                                      120

Is it getting better or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say…

One love, one life
When it’s one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without, well it’s…

Too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other, one…


Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing now it’s all I got
We’re one but we’re not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again, you say


Love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got when all you got is hurt

One love, one blood
One life you got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other            One…life               One

Ugly kid Joe – Cat’s in the cradle                                                  120a

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away

         And he was talking ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew
         He’d say, “I’m gonna be like you, dad
         You know I’m gonna be like you.”

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
“When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when
But we’ll get together then
You know we’ll have a good time then.”

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, “Thanks for the ball, dad; come on, let’s play
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today,

I got a lot to do.” He said, “That’s okay.”

         And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
         And said, “I’m gonna be like him, yeah
         You know I’m gonna be like him.”

chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man, I just had to say
“Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
He shook his head, and he said with a smile


“What I’d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later; can I have them please?”

chorus

I’ve long since retired, and my son’s moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
He said, “I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time
         You see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kid’s got the flu
         But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad
         It’s been sure nice talking to you.”
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He’d grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

chorus

You know the one that takes you to the places

But the airways are clean and there’s nobody singing to me now

Paul Weller – You Do Something To Me                         121a

You do something to me

something deep inside
I’m hanging on the wire
for a love I’ll never find


You do something wonderful

then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions

that throws me back again


       Hanging on the wire

       I’m waiting for the change
       I’m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame
       And feel real again

    solo

       Hanging on the wire

       where I’m waiting for my change
       I’m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame
       And feel real again


You do something to me

somewhere deep inside
I’m hoping to get close to
a peace I cannot find

       Dancing through the fire
       just to catch a flame
       Just to get close to – just close enough
       To tell you that…..

You do something to me

something deep inside.

Wilson Phillips – Hold On                                                                     122


I know there is pain

Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don’t ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind, mmm
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

chorus:
Ooh some day somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you gonna let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know? Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way, hold on for one more day

You could sustain
Mmm or are you comfortable with the pain?
You’ve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin’ your worries pass you by
Baby don’t you think it’s worth your time
To change your mind?

chorus

Breakdown – I know that there is pain but you

hold on for one more day and you break free from the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain but you

hold for one more day and you break free right from the chains
