Bob Mould - Hardly Getting Over It

 

 

Twenty years ago, saw a friend was walking by

And I stopped him on the street to ask him

How it went, and all he did was cry

I looked him in the face, but I couldn't see past his eyes

Asked him what the problem was, he says "Here is your disguise"

 

Now he's hardly getting over it

Hardly getting used to getting by

 

Old may lays down by the railroad tracks

Got no paper in his pocket, got no paper on his back

I asked him what the time was, he says "Hit the road now, Jack"

Went back to see him next week

He died of a heart attack and died away

 

Now he's hardly getting over it

Hardly getting used to getting by

 

Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die

And grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away

My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die

And what do I do when they die?

 

Now I'm hardly getting over it

Hardly getting used to getting by

Sarah Mclachlan - Out of the Shows

 

 

Crouching down inside a deep ravine

Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen

So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans

Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands

Close call there in the shadows

There's a fear in the dark

There's one out there

All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one

They must be just around the bend, they always come

At night as I lay sleeping they come to me in herds

Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's only fleeting words

No one calls there in the shadows

There's no end to the dark

But there's one out there, no one but me....

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me

No way's the right way. Is there a way out for me?

My life's slipping out...

Rising up, the night is done, and now the bright lights come

Held back in my pitied world where everything's undone

A cold wind blows right through me, I'm made a hollow shell

There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the soil, no soil, no soil...

Close call there in the shadows

There's an end to the dark

'Cause there's someone out there

Someone like me...

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me

No way's the right way, is there a way out for me

The hours pass so slowly

The life's slipping out of me

Is there a way out for me?

The hours pass so slowly

The life's slipping out of me

Is there a way out for me?

There must be a way out for me...

"Black Tears"

Imelda May

 

 

"Black Tears"

(feat. Jeff Beck)

 

Black tears

One will fall for every good year

Inside I'm dying

Outside I'm crying black tears

 

Your kiss killed me on that night

As your lips left a bitter taste

And inside I'm dying

Outside I'm crying black tears

 

How did it all go wrong

We seemed to have it all

But it's broken

And I'm running

And I'm scared

So I pray to God above

It's a sin when we don't love

It's so quiet

Can you hear me

Are you there

 

Black tears

Please be gone so I can see clear

Keep calm and carry on

But inside I'm dying

Outside I'm crying black tears

 

How did it all go wrong

We seemed to have it all

But now it's broken

And I'm running

And I'm scared, so scared

So I pray to God above

'Cause it's a sin when we don't love

It's so quiet

Can you hear me

Are you there

 

Black tears

One will fall for every good year

Rolling down my face

Inside I'm dying

Outside I'm crying, crying, crying black tears

"Deep End"

Birdy

 

 

"Deep End"

 

Someone told me that I want more

That I'll feel half empty, ripped and torn

They say there'll be plenty other hands to hold

Now I wish they'd told me long ago

 

Ooh, I don't want this to break you

Ooh, but I've got no one else to talk to

 

I don't know if you mean everything to me

And I wonder, can I give you what you need?

Don't want to find I've lost it all

Too scared to have no one to call

So can we just pretend

That we're not falling into the deep end?

 

You've gone quiet, you don't call

And nothing's funny any more

And I'll keep trying to help you heal

I'll stop your crying and dry your tears

 

Ooh, I don't want this to break you

Ooh, but I've got no one else to talk to

 

I don't know if you mean everything to me

And I wonder, can I give you what you need?

Don't want to find I've lost it all

Too scared to have no one to call

So can we just pretend?

 

Ooh, how do we mend?

Ooh, I didn't choose to depend on you

It's out of our hands

Maybe it will work out in the end

 

I don't know if you mean everything to me

And I wonder, can I give you what you need?

Don't want to find I've lost it all

Too scared to have no one to call

So can we just pretend?

 

Don't know if you mean everything to me

And I wonder, can I give you what you need?

Don't want to find I've lost it all

Too scared to have no one to call

So can we just pretend

That we're not falling into the deep end?

"I Will Be There"

Odessa

 

 

"I Will Be There"

 

If you ever need someone to cry to

If you ever need someone to hold you

 

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing by your side

 

If you ever need someone

To just love you

If you ever need someone

To simply adore you

 

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing by your side

 

From the mountains to the sea

And the city

From the valleys to the moon

In every country

 

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

 

 

I will be there

Mindy McCready - I'll See You Yesterday

 

 

If we're really telling the truth

things don't look the way that they use to

these conversations long overdue

cause I can't look in through

cause we're all I knew

 

I was your sunlight, but now, I'm just a shade

I was your blue sky, Now I'm just the rain

I was your favorite song, but Now I'm overplayed

If tomorrow's gonna be the same

I'll see you yesterday.

I'll see you yesterday.

 

Lets get lost in our memories

That's the safest place we can be

If this is the end of our story,

I don't wanna read it, I just wanna keep it well.

 

I was your sunlight, but Now I'm just a shade

I was your blue sky, Now I'm just the rain

I was your favorite song, but Now I'm overplayed

If tomorrow's gonna be the same

I'll see you yesterday

 

I'll see you in my dreams

and in every single moment you miss something to me

just like the photographs

I'd keep the very best

cause baby that's the way I will remember it

 

I was your sunlight, Now I'm just a shade

I was your blue sky, Now I'm just the rain

I was your favorite song, Now I'm overplayed

If tomorrow's gonna be the same

they said tomorrow's gonna be the same

I'll see you yesterday.

I'll see you yesterday.

"On The Run" - Natalie Imbruglia

 

I'm looking for a way

To calm these voices in my head

With all this mad confusion

I don't wanna leave this bed

 

I'm on the run

I'm on the run again

 

And I don't know which way is left

And there's no point in not being right

So I'll hold my breath till the morning

Till I see the light

 

I'm on the run

I'm on the run again

From me

 

I'm drowning in these feelings

And it's scaring me to death

Staring at the ceiling

So many things I could have said

 

I'm on the run

I'm on the run again

 

And I don't know which way is left

And there's no point in not being right

So I'll hold my breath till the morning

Till I see the light

 

So, so many times

So many signs

You're out there waiting

I should have known

You're out there waiting, oh

 

And I don't know which way is left

And there's no point in not being right

So I'll hold my breath till the morning

Till I see the light

 

I'm on the run

I'm on the run again

From me

"Still Breathing" - Mayday Parade

 

Give me any reason to believe

Cause I swear I'm done here

Cause I've seen a bigger picture

And I'm looking for some answers

 

Tell me that it's worth it

Cause I'm doing all I can to fight it

And I've never been this scared

And my moment's finally here

 

Time's racing

Please slow down

I gotta find my way out

I'm hopeless

But hoping

My lungs won't fail me now

Cause I'm still breathing

 

[CHORUS:]

It's hard to be a man

But I'm doing all I can

I'm ready to give this all I have

I'm ready to be amazed

Cause I'm standing here alone

Trying to make this life my own

And nothing will keep this heart from beating

I'm still breathing

 

Promise me some dignity

If I were to stand and die here

Cause my heart is somewhere else

It's a pain I've never felt

 

Time's racing

Please slow down

I gotta find my way out

I'm hopeless

But hoping

My lungs won't fail me now

Cause I'm still breathing

 

[CHORUS]

 

Where do we all find love

Where do we all find love

 

It's hard to be a man

But I'm doing all I can

I'm ready to give this all I have

I'm ready to be amazed

Cause I'm standing here alone

Trying to make this life my own

And nothing will keep this heart from beating

I'm still breathing

"Wounded Bird" - Graham Nash

https://youtu.be/QXeIdIcNk2U

 

I've watched you go through changes

That no man should face alone

Take to heel or tame the horse

The choice is still your own

 

But arm yourself against the pain

A wounded bird can give

And in the end remember

It's with you you have to live

And in the end remember

It's with you you have to live

 

Stand your ground

I think you've got the guts it takes to win

But you must learn to turn the key

Before she'll let you in

 

And understand the problems

Of the girl you want so near

Or you'll wear the coat of questions

Till the answer hat is here

You'll wear the coat of questions

Till the answer hat is here

 

Serenade your angel

With a love song from your eyes

Grow a little taller

Even though your age defies

Feel a little smaller

And in stature you will rise

A hobo or a poet

Must kill dragons for a bride

And humble pie is always hard to swallow

With your pride

"Find a Way"

Nico & Vinz feat. Emmanuel Jal

https://youtu.be/gGe9GnBBvcQ

 

Made my way to the borderline

Looking up towards the friendly skies

Everything that I thought I had

Taken right before my eyes, oh yeah

 

Give me faith, give me love

Cause I need it

Show me grace, make me strong

Let me feel it

Where to go

Can I walk to redemption

 

Don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

I said I'll find a way

Don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

 

Do you remember

Back when we used to play

Do you remember

When you put me in my place

Do you remember

When you told me I should go

And I left you fighting all alone

 

I see the writing's on the wall

I feel it coming, yes, I do

Us together like before

I don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

 

Oh, I'll find a way

I don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

 

No matter way, no matter way

I'm gonna see anyway

(x2)

To lord your boar to lord your terror I pray

(x2)

 

Cause I've waited to finally shout

To open up my mouth

And let the truth come out

Yes, I'll say it without a doubt

Don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

 

I will find a way, I will find a way

I will find a way, I will find a way

I will find a way, I will find a way

 

I said I will find a way, oh no

I said I'll find a way, oh no

I said I don't know how we'll be okay

But I'll find a way

"The Wind Of Heaven" - Justin Hayward

 

 

I woke up in the ruins of yesterday

I just can't break away

I'm losing faith in the dream

Trying to recreate the life I knew

Find the heart that once was true

 

Lost and cast away

Adrift, floating downstream

And still the battle rages

I don't know what to do

Then I hear you whisper

Baby, I love you

 

[CHORUS:]

Feel the wind of heaven blow

Over fields for all time unfrozen

Hearing words of ancient wisdom

Calling out to me

Let the tears of sorrow go

Riding free in the wild unbroken

Those eternal voices tell us

Love will set us free

 

I saw the stallion run along the riverbed

With the eagle overhead

And then I realize

That time is but the curse

That we all share

Bringing heartbreak and despair

 

But we can break the spell

Oh yes, and then I open my eyes

And the battle's raging

I don't know what to do

Then I hear you whisper

Baby, I love you

 

[CHORUS]

 

Where is love

Now my brothers all were gone

A man who walks alone

Living day by day

 

Breathe into me

Breathe your breath of life

Into my soul

And save me from my dreams

Before my time is gone

Breathe into me now

 

Feel the wind of heaven blow

Over fields for all time unfrozen

Hearing words of ancient wisdom

Calling out to me

Let the tears of sorrow go

Riding free in the wild unbroken

Those eternal voices tell us

Love will set us free

"(Somebody) Ease My Troublin' Mind"

Would come and tell me everything's alright

I sure wish my baby

Would come and tell me everything is still alright

Oh yes, I do

When you tell somebody your troubles

Trouble fly away from you

I'm looking, looking, looking for somebody

I can tell my troubles to

 

Why won't somebody

Come and ease my troublin' mind

I sure wish somebody

Would come and ease my troublin' mind

Oh yeah

"Better Change" - Dan Fogelberg

 

I can see you in the distance

And you're heading for a fall

Sinking deeper by the minute

You're about to lose it all

 

You better change

Before the sun goes down

You better leave

Before you are the last in town

You better raise

Your fortresses or tear them down

 

Tear them down

Tear them down

 

There's an angel on your shoulders

And a devil at your feet

And that door you see before you

Could be poison tasting sweet

 

You better change

Before the sun goes down

You better leave

Before you are the last in town

You better raise

Your fortresses or tear them down

 

Tear them down

Tear them down

 

I can see you in the distance

And you're heading for a fall

Sinking deeper by the minute

You're about to lose it all

 

You better change

Before the sun goes down

You better leave

Before you are the last in town

You better raise

Your fortresses or tear them down

 

Tear them down

You gotta tear them down

Tear them down

You better tear them down

Tear them down

Heaven help the child

Who never had a home

Heaven help the girl

Who walks the street alone

Heaven help the roses

If the bombs begin to fall

If he struggles one more day

Heaven help the white man

If he turns his back away

Heaven help the man

Who kicks the man who has to crawl

Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all, help us all

Heaven help us all, help us all

Heaven help us, oh, hear our call when we fall

Who gave that boy a gun

Heaven help the people

With their backs against the wall

Heaven help us all

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep

In a troubled world I prayed the Lord to keep

Keep hatred from the mighty

And the mighty from the small

Heaven help us all, help us all

Heaven help us all, help us all

Heaven help us, oh, hear our call when we fall

"Wings" - Birdy

 

 

Sunlight comes creeping in

Illuminates our skin

We watched the day go by

Stories of all we did

It made me think of you

It made me think of you

 

Under a trillion stars

We danced on top of cars

Took pictures of the stage

So far from where we are

They made me think of you

They made me think of you

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly

For the rest of our lives

 

I'm in a foreign state

My thoughts they slip away

My words are leaving me

They caught an aeroplane

Because I thought of you

Just from the thought of you

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

    If these wings could fly   

 

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly

 

Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

The furthest reaches of your nowhere town

They suck you in

The black hole kids won't let you free again

 

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

 

When it's gone

You sit and stare until the golden dawn

Can't you see?

His arms are hell and you won't ever leave

 

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Paul Westerberg - Here Comes a Regular

 

 

 

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst

after a hard day of nothin' much at all

Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass

There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

 

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood

to take my place in back with the loudmouths

You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food

I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

 

And everybody wants to be special here

They call your name out loud and clear

Here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one here today?

 

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town

Once the police made you go away

And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now

I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

 

Everybody wants to be someone's here

Someone's gonna show up, never fear

'cause here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

 

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes

He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut

All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy

The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

 

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow

Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call

First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow

Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

Read about your band in some local page

Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name

Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm

I headed up north, you headed north

 

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

 

Weary voice that's laughin', on the radio once

We sounded drunk, never made it on

Passin' through and it's late, the station started to fade

Picked another one up in the very next state

 

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

On and on and on and on and...

 

Pretty girl keep growin' up, playin' make-up, wearin' guitar

Growin' old in a bar, ya grow old in a bar

Headed out to San Francisco, definitely not L.A.

Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name

 

And if I don't see ya, in a long, long while

I'll try to find you

Left of the dial

The House of Love - In a Room

 

 

When I get there I'll be ready

With a map and a pen, duty is a creed

There are lessons for the lonely

When I'm drunk in a room

 

And then I think of you

Oh, my baby, she went awol

Drove to a shop, never to return

And it broke me like a flower

Baked in the sun, a hot, Spanish sun

 

But I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

I can't slow down

 

What a story, not a volume

Just a tacky little ode in the corner of my mind

Maybe Preston in the winter

Drinking in the night, the cold, English night

 

And there's a figure, he's so evil

With a black little eye and a pure white mind

And I'm sorry when I see this

 

There's a lesson in the blood, the cold, English blood

 

But I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

No, I can't

 

Find out who you are

Use a train, use a car

You've got arms and you've got money

Find a finger and find out who you are

 

But I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

 

No, I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

Slow down

Readymade - Hengshan Reeling

 

 

Took too much medicine in Shanghai

Slept through the capture of Saddam

Dice and eyes dice by drunk candlelight

Thriving on the other side of the dateline

This will only be the once,

 

This is where the moment gained the meaning

Doing the Paris thing with text messaging

Henghan Lu may be my last move

Time zones briefly heal all wounds

 

I always feel first for the ground

But these towers make another case

And now I can't separate from this

 

I always feel first for the ground

But these towers make another sound

And now I can't step away from this

 

So many walks back home

All the crashing reflection

Life: relive a few high nights

 

Goodbye from a few miles away

For the last time

"the last time of today"

 

Each year is more a murder

But I'm not here alone
