Tom McRae - Alphabet of hurricanes 11 months ago

Caught in a whirlwind of
Broken sticks and bones
An alphabet of hurricanes
Can’t blow this drifter home

And the train kicks up snow across
This cold New Mexico
And as I cross the Rio Grande
I finally let you go

To fall into the icy stream
Of different lives and different dreams

And we go lightly on our way
Yes you go lightly on the same

Woke up in Kansas from a
Dream of burning ships
And I still taste the ocean, girl
And you on my lips

But I can’t seem to change the way
This story wants to play
Life is in the living
Not the telling anyway

Press myself into the glass
Silver moon lights up my path

As I go lightly on my way
And you will go lightly on the same
Yes we go lightly on our way

Shaken by a broken rail in
Princeton, Illinois
With time to kill I drank my fill
And gave the jukebox all my coins

This one’s for the friends I’ve lost
The one I’ve left behind
No, this one’s not for you, I take it back
I’ve changed my mind

The music drifts into the night
Calls to me and says it’s time

To go lightly on my way
And I will lightly on the same
Yes you go lightly on your way

Sunset on the Hudson turns this city into gold
This stolen El Dorado it ain’t mine, it sure ain’t yours
I’ve been here for every season
Somehow you forget
You claim this city for yourself
Well take it, it’s my gift
There’s nothing left to divide
You take the days, I’ll take the nights

And I’ll go lightly on my way
And you will go lightly on the same
Yes we go lightly on our way

Caught in a whirlwind of
Broken sticks and bones
An alphabet of hurricanes

Can’t blow this drifter home
Can’t blow this drifter home
Can’t blow this drifter home
Can’t blow this drifter home



Lene Marlin - Playing my game 19 months ago

Won’t open my mouth,
You know what I’ll say
It hurts me that it’s gotta be this way
I can no longer hide
God knows I’ve tried
I held on as long as I could
If I could change it, I would
This is the way I am,
And this is what I do.

I cry my tears
But they’re not for you
Playing a game
I know you’ve done too
I shouldn’t have waited,
But still it is all the same
Cause you know,
I’m just playing my game.

Close your ears if you don’t like the sound of my voice
You’re acting like I
Like I had a choice
But to leave you behind well,
I’ve made up my mind.

I cry my tears
But they not for you
Playing a game
I know you’ve done too
I shouldn’t have waited,
But still it is all the same
Because you know,
I’m just playing my game.

Don’t hold me with your eyes
The light in them I cannot see,
No need to blind me
There’s this darkness where I walk
You thought you had your future
All figured out.

I cry my tears
But they’re not for you
Playing a game
I know you’ve done too
I shouldn’t have waited,
But still it is all the same
Cause you know,
I’m just playing my game,



Ani DiFranco - Superhero 21 months ago

sleepwalking through the all-nite drugstore
baptized in flourescent light
i found religion in the greeting card aisle
now i know hallmark was right
and every pop song on the radio
is suddenly speaking to me
yeah, art may imitate life
but life imitates t.v.
‘cuz you’ve been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and let’s just say that things look different now
different in so many ways

i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else

if i was dressed in my best defenses
would you agree to meet me for coffee
if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
would you still know which one was me
if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light and come down
screaming, there’s the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down

i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else

yeah you’ve been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and now i’m a different person
different in so many ways
tell me what did you like about me
don’t say my strength and daring
‘cuz now i think i’m at your mercy
and it’s my first time for this kind of thing

i used to be a superhero
i would swoop down and save me
from myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else
i am worse than everybody else



Isabella Leroy - My heart still moves 21 months ago

My heart goes overload
by the times you never touched me
My heart goes overload
By the times you’re never there
Still there’s questions in my mind
Did you really want me
Or did you just need someone who would care

My trip is gone somewhere
I don’t know it could be a dessert
And I am scared that I will never to return
Still there’s questions in my mind
Should I even bother
In my dessert it’s easy to get burned

But my heart still moves
By the way you never touched me
And my heart still moves
By the way you say my name
And my heart still moves
By the way you softly whisper
And my heart still moves
And you’re asleep

The way You’re lookin at me
I wish I was six feet under
The Way you’re lookin at me
what more did you expect
Cause I
I feel I should run away
And make silence of the thunder
is it too much to ask for a piece of your respect

Cause my heart still moves
By the way you never touched me
And my heart still moves
By the way you say my name
And my heart still moves
By the way you softly whisper
And my heart still moves
And you’re asleep

Could be just a fase we’re going through
Is this to hard for me and you
Well I
I don’t know what else I can do
But if nothing changes you and me are through.

Cause my heart still moves
By the way you never touched me
And my heart still moves
By the way you say my name
And my heart still moves
By the way you softly whisper
And my heart still moves
And you’re asleep
