The Way Things Are - Fiona Apple 2 weeks ago

I wouldn’t know what to do with another chance
If you gave it to me
I couldn’t take the embrace of a real romance
It’s race right through me
I’m much better off the way things are
Much much better if, better by far, by far
I wouldn’t know what to say to a gentle voice
It’d roll right past me
And if you chalk it up you’ll see I don’t really have a choice
So don’t even ask me
I’m much better off, the way things are
Much much better off, better by far
So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I’ll keep kicking the crap till it’s gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I’ll be
Able to move on
How can I fight, when we’re on the same side
How can I fight beside you
So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I’ll keep on kicking the crap will it’s gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I’ll be
Able to move on
So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I’ll keep kicking the crap till it’s gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I’ll be
Able to move on

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Just Like a Woman...Nina Simone's version 12 months ago

YouTube: Nina’s rendition of Bob Dylan

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks like a little girl.

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That baby’s got new clothes
Lately I see her ribbons and her bows
And the problems from her curls.

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
And she breaks like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
Everybody knows I was dying of thirst
So I came in here
A long-time’s curse
And what’s worse
Is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear?
Ain’t it clear?

I must admit
I believe it’s time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.

I take just like a woman, yes, I do
And I make love just like a woman
And I ache just like a woman
But I break just like a little girl.



Untitled 14 months ago

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I’m miserable now.

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I’m miserable now.

In my life why do I give valuable time to people who don’t care if I live or die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by, and heaven knows I’m miserable now.

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I’m miserable now.

In my life, Oh, why do I give valuable time, to people who don’t care if I live or die?

What she asked of me at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed.

“You’ve been in the house too long” she said And I (naturally) fled.

In my life, why do I smile at people who I’d much rather kick in the eye?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I’m miserable now.

“You’ve been in the house too long” she said and I (naturally) fled.

In my life, why do I give valuable time, to people who don’t care if I live or die ?

Leaving On A Jet Plane...John Denver (but really Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk's version) 15 months ago

lovely YouTube is candy for the ears
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I’ll tell you now, they don’t mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times that I won’t have to say …

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I’m leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane

Brown Eyed Girl...Van Morrison 18 months ago

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin’ a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin’ and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow’s wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I’m all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I’m overcome thinking ‘bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
...la te da

Here Comes The Sun...Beatles 19 months ago

Here comes the sun… da da da da
here comes the sun… and I say
it’s all right

Little darling
it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun… da da da da
here comes the sun… and I say
it’s all right

Little darling
the smiles’r returning to the faces
Little darling
it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun… da da da da
here comes the sun… and I say
it’s all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun… da da da da
here comes the sun… and I say
it’s all right
It’s all right

My Little Town...Paul Simon 19 months ago

In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps His eye on us all
And He used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall
My little town

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze

And after it rains
There’s a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It’s not that the colors aren’t there
It’s just imagination they lack
Everything’s the same
Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

In my little town
I never meant nothin’
I was just my father’s son
Saving my money
Dreaming of glory
Twitching like a finger
On the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

Terrapin Station-lady w. a fan...Grateful Dead 20 months ago

let my inspiration flow
in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm
that will not forsake you
till my tale is told and done.
while the firelights aglow
strange shadows from the flames will grow
till things we’ve never seen
will seem familiar.

shadows of a sailor, forming
winds both foul and fair all swarm
down in carlisle he loved a lady
many years ago.
here beside him stands a man
a soldier from the looks of him
who came through many fights
but lost at love.

while the story teller speaks
a door within the fire creaks;
suddenly flies open
and a girl is standing there.
eyes alight, with glowing hair
all that fancy paints as fair
she takes her fan and throws it
in the lion’s den.

which of you to gain me, tell
will risk uncertain pains of hell?
i will not forgive you
if you will not take the chance.
the sailor gave at least a try
the soldier being much too wise
strategy was his strength
and not disaster.

the sailor, coming out again
the lady fairly leapt at him
that’s how it stands today
you decide if he was wise.
the story teller makes no choice
soon you will not hear his voice
his job is to shed light
and not to master.

since the end is never told
we pay the teller off in gold
in hopes he will return
but he cannot be bought or sold.

terrapin station

inspiration, move me brightly
light the song with sense and color;
hold away despair
more than this i will not ask
faced with mysteries dark and vast
statements just seem vain at last.
some rise, some fall, some climb
to get to terrapin.

counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright;
the spiral light of venus
rising first and shining best
oh, from the northwest corner
of a brand new crescent moon
while crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune
terrapin station.

in the shadow of the moon
terrapin station.
and i know we’ll get there soon
terrapin station.
i can’t figure out, terrapin
if it’s the end or beginning, terrapin
but the trains put it’s brakes on, terrapin
and the whistle is screaming, terrapin.

terrapin station – at the siding

while you were gone
these faces filled with darkness.
the obvious was hidden.
with nothing to believe in.

sullen wings of fortune beat like rain.
you’re back in terrapin for good or ill again
for good or ill again.
