Song Lyrics

[corvus]

With Callas singing, this is the most amazing aria/song ever:

 

Italian:

 

La mamma morta m'hanno

alla porta della stanza mia

Moriva e mi salvava!

poi a notte alta

io con Bersi errava,

quando ad un tratto

un livido bagliore guizza

e rischiara innanzi a' passi miei

la cupa via!

Guardo!

Bruciava il loco di mia culla!

Counting Crows - A Murder of One

 

 

Blue morning blue morning wrapped in strands of fist and bone

Curiosity, kitten,

Doesn't have to mean you're on your own

You can look outside your window

He doesn't have to know

We can talk awhile, baby

We can take it nice and slow

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame

All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Are you happy when you're sleeping?

Does he keep you safe and warm?

Does he tell you when you're sorry?

Does he tell you when you're wrong?

Ive been watching you for hours

Its been years since we were born

We were perfect when we started

Ive been wondering where we've gone

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow

Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there

Counting crows

One for sorrow two for joy

Three for girls and four for boys

Five for silver six for gold and

Seven for a secret never to be told

Theres a bird that nests inside you

Sleeping underneath your skin

When you open up your wings to speak

I wish you'd let me in

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream

Open up your eyes

You can see the flames of your wasted life

You should be ashamed

You don't want to waste your life

I walk along these hillsides in the summer neath the sunshine

I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

Change, change, change

[Hylas]

I just love this passage from Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

 

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

Though it was purportedly tailor made for the movie 'City of Angels', it still fits too damn well with being gay and closeted and coming out to the person you love. Just letting them know who you are, even if you can't ever tell the world.

[Thirdeye]

A case of you by Joni Mitchell

 

Just before our love got lost you said

I am as constant as a northern star

And I said, constant in the darkness

Wheres that at?

If you want me Ill be in the bar

 

On the back of a cartoon coaster

In the blue tv screen light

I drew a map of canada

Oh canada

And your face sketched on it twice

 

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine

Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you

I could drink a case of you darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh Id still be on my feet

 

Oh I am a lonely painter

I live in a box of paints

Im frightened by the devil

And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid

I remember that time that you told me, you said

Love is touching souls

Surely you touched mine

Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

 

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine

And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you

I could drink a case of you darling

Still Id be on my feet

And still be on my feet

 

I met a woman

She had a mouth like yours

She knew your life

She knew your devils and your deeds

And she said

Color go to him, stay with him if you can

Oh but be prepared to bleed

Oh but you are in my blood youre my holy wine

Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

Still Id be on my feet

Id still be on my feet

R.E.M. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

 

(from official lyric sheet)

 

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -

Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -

world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock,

speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,

down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for

hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies

breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered

crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,

common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its

own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the

reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright

light, feeling pretty psyched.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

 

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,

return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,

blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,

light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,

this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,

a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives

and I decline.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

 

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite.

Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.

Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,

slam, but neck, right? Right.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...

 

(It's time I had some time alone)

Little Big Town - "To Know Love"

 

Walk with me in the moonlight, babe,

Lose ourselves in the star parade,

And I will sing a midnight serenade for you.

Dance with me in a field of green,

Be so close I can hear you breathe,

Be the end and the in between.

 

'Cause to know you is to know love,

And to know love is to know enough.

To walk with you. through this life.

From now until the day I die,

'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you.

 

So put your sun in my silver sky,

Put your rain in my river dry,

Put your words in my lullaby,

And I'll dream.

 

'Cause to know you is to know love,

And to know love is to know enough.

To walk with you. through this life.

From now until the day I die,

'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you.

 

'Cause to know you is to know love,

And to know love is to know enough.

To walk with you. through this life.

From now until the day I die,

'Cause what better way is there to live than to live with you.

I thought I would share the lyrics to my favorite Celine Dion song "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." It's a cover of a song originially sang by Meatloaf and Marion Raven. It's a beautiful song about coming back to your true love. I prefer Celine's version.

 

There were nights when the wind was so cold

That my body froze in bed

If I just listened to it

Right outside the window

 

There were days when the sun was so cruel

That all the tears turned to dust

And I just knew my eyes were

Drying up forever

 

I finished crying in the instant that you left

And I can't remember where or when or how

And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

 

But when you touch me like this

And you hold me like that

I just have to admit

That it's all coming back to me

When I touch you like this

And I hold you like that

It's so hard to believe but

It's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

 

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things I'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than any laws allow

Baby Baby

 

If I kiss you like this

And if you whisper like that

It was lost long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you want me like this

And if you need me like that

It was dead long ago

But it's all coming back to me

It's so hard to resist

And it's all coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now

But it's all coming back

 

There were those empty threats and hollow lies

And whenever you tried to hurt me

I just hurt you even worse

And so much deeper

 

There were hours that just went on for days

When alone at last we'd count up all the chances

That were lost to us forever

 

But you were history with the slamming of the door

And I made myself so strong again somehow

And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

 

But if I touch you like this

And if you kiss me like that

It was so long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you touch me like this

And if I kiss you like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

 

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things we'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than all your laws allow

Baby, Baby, Baby

 

When you touch me like this

And when you hold me like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

Then we see what we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies

All coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now

 

If you forgive me all this

If I forgive you all that

We forgive and forget

And it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

We see just what we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies

All coming back to me

I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

 

(It's all coming back to me now)

And when you kiss me like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And when I touch you like that

(It's all coming back to me now)

If you do it like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And if we, , ,

God knows I could be posting so many great lyrics, I'll just add 2 extracts:

 

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you,

But in the process I forgot that I was special too.

 

I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you,

But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you.

 

-- X-static process, madonna

 

You have so many relationships in this life

Only one or two will last

You go through all the pain and strife

Then turn your back and they're gone so fast

...

So hold on then ones who really care

In the end they'll be the only ones there

And when you get old and start losing your hair

Tell me who will still care.

 

--Mmmbop, Hanson

[Tiger]

I'm not going to add the entire song, but here are some powerful lyrics in "Come to My Window" by Melissa Ethridge:

 

I don't care what they think

I don't care what they say

What do they know about this

Love anyway?

[rich_e]

It was so easy that night. Should have been strong, yeah, I lied

Nobody gets me like you

Couldn't keep hold of you then. How could I know what you meant?

There was nothing to compare to

 

I know everything changes, all the cities and faces

But i know how I feel about you

There's a mountain between us, but there's one thing I'm sure of

That I know how I feel about you

 

Can we bring yesterday back around?

Cause I know how I feel about you now

I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down

But I know how i feel about you now

 

All that it takes, one more chance

Don't let our last kiss be our last

Give me tonight and I'll show you

 

Not a day passed me by, not a day passed me by

When I don't think about you

And there's no moving on, cause I know you're the one

And I can't be without you

 

 

About You Now - Sugababes

[darkfoxprime]

I'm currently on a Carrie Underwood kick, but the lyrics to her song "You Won't Find This" really hit me. I don't know if I'm reading something into it, but it really sounds to me like it's about a boy who knows he's gay but grows up and marries and such anyway, and is unhappy.

 

 

You Won't Find This

written by Tom Shapiro and Cathy Dennis

sung by Carrie Underwood

 

 

Did you check the tires

Put gas in the car

Don't think you'll need too much 'cause you ain't gonna get that far

Did you pack the good times

Don't forget a map

Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back

 

(chorus)

You can hold any girl that you like

Fall in love when it's easy at night

But you'll wake up wonddering why

She ain't ever something better

When you're lost and you've run out of road

Find what I already know

In the end close is all there is

But you won't find this

No, you won't find this

 

Now there's once in a lifetime

And there's once in a while

And the difference between the two is about a million miles

Oh, you might get lucky

While the moon is looking on

But in the truth of the morning the stars will be long gone

 

(chorus)

Hi, umm.. just wanted to say that this song wasn't origianally sung by Meatloaf and Marion Raven. Their rendition is the 2nd cover version after Celine's. The original was by a female band called "Pandora's Box" for their 1989 album "Original Sin".

 

PS. I love this song as well though not my absolute fav.

PS. I love this song as well though not my absolute fav.

I just looked it up. Apparently, Pandora's Box was not a major success. According to what I read, Celine made the song famous after all.

 

Here's another one of my favorites. It is "Silent Lucidity" by Queensr

[Razor]

I just wish this one would get covered by someone who's a stronger vocalist. While this singer is great for soft, pretty, happy things, he doesn't have the voice I want for this song. I don't even know who would work better, but still... oh, and also it should be "boy" instead of "girl" just to gay it up a bit. It's a really beautiful song, even if it is extremely emo.

 

Someday You Will Be Loved, by Death Cab for Cutie

 

I once knew a girl in the years of my youth

With eyes like the summer, all beauty and truth.

In the morning I fled, left a note and it read:

"Someday, you will be loved".

 

I cannot pretend that I felt any regret

'Cause each broken heart will eventually mend,

And as the blood runs red down the needle and thread,

Someday, you will be loved.

 

You'll be loved,

You'll be loved,

Like you never have known.

Then the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams.

Just a series of blurs like I never occurred.

Someday, you will be loved.

 

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep,

And every time tears roll down your cheeks,

But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet.

Someday, you will be loved.

 

You'll be loved,

You'll be loved,

Like you never have known,

And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams.

Just a series of blurs like I never occurred.

Someday, you will be loved.

 

You'll be loved,

You'll be loved,

Like you never have known,

And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams.

Just a series of blurs like I never occurred.

Someday, you will be loved.

 

Someday, you will be loved.

[Thirdeye]

Is it real?

We're always the same

We're almost alone now

Well, I was caught in the rain

Wasting my time on the ground

 

Waiting to call

Well, what would you say?

And, can you come over?

Well, I was caught in the rain

Wasting my time on the ground

 

It was you

Who could get me high

With whatever you say

You're telling me something real

 

What we do

It doesn't matter now

Whatever it takes

For you to stay with me

 

Trading thoughts

Across from the room

I saw you surrounded

Well, I was caught in the rain

Wasting my time on the ground

 

Feeling small

Without an escape

I almost let you down

Well, I was caught in the rain

Wasting my time on the ground

 

It was you

Who could get me high

With whatever you say

You're telling me something real

 

What we do

It doesn't matter now

Whatever it takes

For you to stay with me

 

It was you

Who could get me high

With whatever you say

Telling me something real

 

What we do

It doesn't matter now

When I was caught in the rain

You made me feel

 

You made me feel

Made me feel

I was caught in the rain

Wasting my time on the ground

 

Wasting my time on the ground

I was caught in the rain

Caught in the rain

Okay, I have a couple of songs that mean a lot to me. Both of them are sung by Garth Brooks. The first one is 'Bellu Woods' and the other is 'The Thunder Rolls'.

 

Belleau Wood

by Garth Brooks

album: Sevens (1997)

 

Oh the snowflakes fell in silence

Over Belleau Wood that night,

For a Christmas truce had been declared

By both sides of the fight.

 

As we lay there in our trenches

The silence broke in two,

By a German soldier singing

A song that we all knew.

 

Though I did know the language,

The song was Silent Night.

Then I heard my buddy whisper,

All is calm, all is bright.

 

Then the fear and doubt surrounded me,

'Cause I'd die if i was wrong

But I stood up in my trench,

And I began to sing along.

 

Then across the frozen battlefield,

Anothers voice joined in,

Until one by one each man became

A singer of the hymn.

 

Then I thought that I was dreaming

For right there in my sight,

Stood the German soldier

Neath the fallen flakes of white.

 

Then he raised his hand and smiled at me

As if he seemed to say

Heres hoping we both live

To see us find a better way

 

Then the devils clock struck midnight

And the skys lit up again,

And the battlefield where heaven stood

Was blown to hell again

But for just one fleeting moment

The answer seemed so clear

 

Heavens not beyond the clouds

Its just beyond the fear

No heavens not beyond the clouds

Its for us to find here

 

The Thunder Rolls

by Garth Brooks

album: No Fences (1990),

Double Live (1998),

The Hits (1994)

 

Three thirty in the morning

Not a soul in sight

The city's lookin' like a ghost town

On a moonless summer night

Raindrops on the windshield

There's a storm moving in

He's headin' back from somewhere that he never should have been

 

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

 

Every light is burnin'

In a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone

In her faded flannel gown

Askin' for a miracle

Hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather

That's kept him out all night

 

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

 

(Chorus)

The thunder rolls

And the lightning strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

 

She's waitin' by the window

When he pulls into the drive

She rushes out to hold him

Thankful he's alive

But on the wind and rain

A strange new perfume blows

And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes

And he knows that she knows

 

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls *

 

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold, darlin'

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

Iron & Wine "Naked as we came"

 

She says "wake up, it's no use pretending" I'll keep stealing,

breathing her. Birds are leaving over autumn's ending One of us

will die inside these arms Eyes wide open, naked as we came

One will spread our ashes 'round the yard She says "If I leave before you,

darling Don't you waste me in the ground" I lay smiling like our sleeping

children One of us will die inside these arms Eyes wide open,

naked as we came One will spread our ashes round the yard

Goo Goo Dolls ~ Iris

 

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'

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to 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 made 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 moviesY

eah you bleed just to know you're alive

 

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

 

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

You have great taste!!! That is my all time favorite song.

[S.L. Lewis]

I have three songs to contribute this time.

 

It Only Hurts When I Breath

 

 

Hope life's been good to you

since you've been gone

I'm doin' fine now--

I've finally moved on

It's not so bad--

I'm not that sad

I'm not surprised just how well I survived

I'm over the worst, and I feel so aliveI can't complain--

I'm free again

 

Chorus:And it only hurts when I'm breathing

My heart only breaks when it's beating

My dreams only die when I'm dreaming

So, I hold my breath--to forget

 

Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night

There's no need to worry,

I'm really all right

I've never looked back--

as a matter of fact

 

Repeat Chorus

 

It only hurts when I breathe

Mmm, no, I've never looked back--

as a matter fact

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Hurts when I'm breathing

Breaks when it's beating

Die when I'm dreaming

It only hurts when I breath

 

Don't

Don't!

Don't you wish we'd tried?

Do you feel what I feel inside?

You know our love is stronger than pride

No!

 

Don't let your anger grow

Just tell me what you need me to know

Please talk to me --

don't close the door

 

Cause' I wanna hear you,

Wanna be near you

 

(Chorus:) Don't fight!

Don't argue you!

Give me the chance to say that I'm sorry

Just let me love you

 

Don't turn me away --

Don't tell me to go

Don't! Don't give up on trust

Don't give up on me -- on us

If we could just hold on long enough

We can do it! We'll get through it!

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

Don't pretend that it's okay

Things won't get better that way

Don't do something you might regret someday

Don't!

 

In Anothers Eyes

By Garth Brooks

Garth)In another's eyes

I'm someone who

Loves her enough

To walk away from youI'd never cheat

I'd never lie

In another's eyes

yeah, yeah

 

(Trisha)In another's eyes

I can do no wrong

And he believes in me

And his faith is strong

I'd never fall

Or even compromise

In another's eyes

 

(Together)In another's eyes

I'm afraid that I can't see

 

(Garth)This picture perfect portrait

That they paint of me

 

(Together)They don't realize

And I pray they never do'

Cause every time I look

I'm seeing you

In another's eyes

 

(Garth)In another's eyes

Starin' Back at me

I see a sinkin' soul

Tryin' desperately

 

(Trisha)To turn the tide

Before it dies

In another's eyes

 

(Together)And what they don't see

Is killing me

It's a blessing and a curse

That love is blind'

Cause in another's eyes

I'm afraid that I can't see

This picture perfect portrait

That they paint of me

And they don't realize

And I pray to God they

never do'

Cause every time I look

All three songs are very sentimental to me. I used to listen to them with a wonderful friend.

I'm currently on a Carrie Underwood kick, but the lyrics to her song "You Won't Find This" really hit me. I don't know if I'm reading something into it, but it really sounds to me like it's about a boy who knows he's gay but grows up and marries and such anyway, and is unhappy.

So you totally read my mind, right?

I thought the exact same thing when I heard that song.

 

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

 

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

 

I'm quiet you know

You make a frist impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to ryhme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

 

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Love that song.

 

 

Now on to - Little Big Town -- "Lonely Enough"

 

 

Its been a long time since I've prayed

Let the words fall where they may

Forgive me now for what I'm 'bout to say

Tired of bein' on my knees

Sick of beggin' you please

Since the day you took him away from me

 

 

God, how much more do I have to hurt

How far down do you wanna see me go tell me.

God, you don't know the sadness of this place

You got the angels and the saints

So give me back my love

Don't you think I'm lonely enough

 

You got the power in your hands

To change the master plan

Every star and every grain of sand

You keep bringing back the day

Just roll the stone away

Before there's nothing left of me to say

 

God, how much more do I have to hurt

How far down do you wanna see me go tell me.

God, you don't know the sadness of this place

You got the angels and the saints

So give me back my love

Don't you think I'm lonely enough

 

God, how much more do I have to hurt

How far down do you wanna see me go tell me

God, you don't know the sadness of this place...

 

Show me amazing grace

And give me back my love

Don't you think I'm lonely enough

Won't you give me back my love

Don't you think I'm lonely enough...

 

 

Don't you think I'm lonely enough.

[faust]

I think i listen to this song everyday

 

Maps- Yeah Yeah Yeahs

 

Pack up;

I

[darkfoxprime]

Well I heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I just really "discovered" this song yesterday - after having heard versions of it in movies and tv shows everywhere, I finally went and did a systematic search for covers.

 

My favorite version is KD Lang's, I think.

Jeff Buckley's version is incredible. It's one of the few songs that I think demands a male voice.

Jeff Buckley's version is incredible. It's one of the few songs that I think demands a male voice.

yeah, I think Buckley's is the best, but the original by Cohen is cool too!

I have a version performed by Imogen Heap... it's totally bad, just doesn't sound honest

 

here are some of the songs I like:

_______

"Spawn again" by Silverchair

 

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

As a death from old age becomes nearer

Why can't the livestock be free

When trading soldiers for steak

 

Learn to evolve with the new transition

To act upon a hypocritical vision

 

Discard the old in with the new

Discard the old in with the fashion

Who is the bad guy

For iron require mince, these are the facts

so eat what you murder,

this is animal liberation,

eight billion killed for human pleasure,

bring on the ape farm,

demolish the monkeys,

drink up drink up, look down on junkies

I'll hold it back, hold it back

Discard the old in with the new

Discard the old in with the fashion

 

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

"A forest" by The Cure

 

Come closer and see

See into the trees

Find the girl

While you can

Come closer and see

See into the dark

Just follow your eyes

Just follow your eyes

 

I hear her voice

Calling my name

The sound is deep

In the dark

I hear her voice

And start to run

Into the trees

Into the trees

 

Into the trees

 

Suddenly I stop

But I know it's too late

I'm lost in a forest

All alone

The girl was never there

It's always the same

I'm running towards nothing

Again and again and again

"Sally's Song" by Fiona Apple

 

I sense there's something in the wind

That seems like tragedy's at hand

And though I'd like to stand by him

Can't shake this feeling that I have

The worst is just around the bend

 

And does he notice my feelings for him?

And will he see how much he means to me?

I think it's not to be

 

What will become of my dear friend

Where will his actions lead us then?

Although I'd like to join the crowd

In their enthusiastic cloud

Try as I may, it doesn't last

 

And will we ever end up together?

No, I think not, it's never to become

For I am not the one

 

And will we ever end up together?

No, I think not, it's never to become

For I am not the one

"Make yourself" by Incubus

 

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.

If I hadn't assembled myself, I'dve fallen apart by now.

If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow.

Powers that be would have swallowed me up,

but that's more than I can allow.

If you let them make you, they'll make you paper-mache.

At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes

then you crumble and blow away.

If you let them f*ck you, there will be no foreplay.

But rest assured, they'll screw you complete til' your ass is blue and grey.

You should make amends with you.

If only for better health.

But if you really want to live,

why not try and Make Yourself?

If I hadn't made me, I'dve fallen apart by now.

I won't let em' make me, it's more than I can allow.

So when I make me, I won't be papier-mache.

And if I f*ck me...I'll f*ck me in my own way.

You should make amends with you.

If only for better health.

But if you really want to live,

why not try and Make Yourself?

Make Yourself.
