Live - Selling The Drama

 

 

And to love: a god

And to fear: a flame

And to burn a crowd that has a name

And to right or wrong

And to meek or strong

It is known; just scream it from the wall

 

I've willed, I've walked, I've read

I've talked, I know, I know,

I've been here before, yeah

 

Now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that

Hey, now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that…

 

It's the sun that burns

It's the wheel that turns

It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream

And to Christ: a cross

And to me: a chair

I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

 

I've willed, I've walked, I've read

I've talked, I know, I know,

I've been here before, yeah

 

Now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that

Hey, now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that…

Scarred like that…

 

And to love: a god

And to fear: a flame

And to burn: a love that has a name

 

I've willed, I've walked, I've read

I've talked, I know, I know,

I've been here before, yeah

 

Now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that

Hey, now we won't be raped

Hey, now we won't be scarred like that…

Hey, hey, now, now, now…

We won’t be scarred like that…

We won’t be scarred like that…

Suzanne Vega - Penitent

 

 

Once I stood alone so proud

held myself above the crowd

now i am low on the ground.

 

From here i look around to see

what avenues belong to me

I can't tell what ive found.

 

Now what would You have me do

i ask you please?

I wait to hear.

 

The mother, and the matador,

the mystic, all were here before,

like me, to stare You down.

 

You appear without a face,

disappear, but leave your trace,

i feel your unseen frown.

 

Now what would you have me do

I ask you please?

i wait to hear

your voice,

the word,

you say.

i wait to see your sign

would i

obey?

 

I look for you in heathered moor,

the desert, and the ocean floor

how low does one heart go.

 

looking for your fingerprints

i find them in coincidence,

and make my faith to grow.

 

Forgive me all my blindnesses

my weakness and unkindnesses

as yet unbending still.

 

struggling so hard to see

my fist against eternity

and will you break my will?

 

Now what would you have me do

i ask you please?

i wait to hear

your voice,

the word

you say

i wait

to see your sign

could i

obey?

The Chameleons - Nathan's Phase

 

 

Of all the faces that we wear

Sometimes joy, sometimes despair

The mask has gone, no mystery

Replaced by vague theology

 

Oh, it's just a phase I'm going through

It's true

It's just a phase I'm going through

You know

 

The streets of London are paved with lead

Just as my lungs are paved with lead

Wrap the voices in my head

Feels like I'm welded to this bed

 

Oh, it's just a phase I'm going through

It's true

It's just a phase I'm going through

You know

 

The streets of London are paved with lead

Just as my lungs are paved with lead

Brush the cobwebs from my head

Feels like I'm welded to this bed

 

I'm not dead

it's just a phase I'm going through

And you

You're just a stranger passing through

Out of tune

Yeah, with this phase I'm going through

You know

 

It's just a phase I'm going through

You know

Kitchens of Distinction - Railwayed

 

Softly something comes

The train into the station

She has often waited

And wondered if he'll come

Why has he kept her waiting

Hell from coming home now

Was it trouble (something)

Or a brand new family

Will he step down

Onto the platform

Will he stay now

Or go again

Softly something comes

A feeling that she loves him

Remembering his birthday

And sentimental times

Was she really that bad

To force him to silence

Were her tears forgotten

Or was it just like?

Daddy will you

Stay this time

Daddy will you

Walk away

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

That love (not lost?)

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There'll be no more goodbyes

No goodbyes

Softly something feeling

As if she is just dreaming

Daddy she has been good

You must be here to stay

Slowly steam is rising

She's shouting as she sees you

She's running up to hold you

Will your arms be there?

Daddy will you

Stay this time?

Daddy will you

Go again?

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

?

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There'll be no more goodbyes

No surprise

No more surprise

Shower her

With your own tears

Give to her

 

Open now

Those cold blue eyes

Promise her

There'll be no more goodbyes

No surprise

No more surprise

No surprise

"Melancholy Mood" - Bob Dylan

 

Melancholy mood forever haunts me

Steals upon me in the night

Forever taunts me

Oh, what a lonely soul am I

Stranded high and dry

By a melancholy mood

 

Gone is every joy and inspiration

Tears are all I have to show

No consolation

All I see is grief and gloom

Till the crack of doom

Oh, melancholy mood

 

Deep in the night I search for a trace

Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace

But love is a whimsy and flimsy as lace

And my arms embrace an empty space

 

Melancholy mood

Why must you blind me

Pity me and break the chains

The chains that bind me

Won't you release me, set me free

Bring her back to me

Oh, melancholy mood

"Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)"

Neil Young with Crazy Horse

https://youtu.be/xHeg4K9r024

 

[CHORUS:]

Round and round and round we spin

To weave a wall to hem us in

It won't be long, it won't be long

How slow and slow and slow it goes

To mend the tear that always shows

It won't be long, it won't be long

 

It's hard enough losing

The paper illusion you've hidden inside

Without the confusion of finding you're using

The crutch of the lie

To shelter your pride when you cry

 

[CHORUS]

 

Now you're moving too slow

And wherever you go there's another besides

It's so hard to say no to yourself

And it shows that you're losing inside

When you step on your pride and you cry

 

[CHORUS]

 

How the hours will bend

Through the time that you spend

Till you turn to your eyes

And you see your best friend

Looking over the end and you turn to see why

And he looks in your eyes and he cries

 

Round and round and round we spin

To weave a wall to hem us in

It won't be long, it won't be long

How slow and slow and slow it goes

To mend the tear that always shows

It won't be long, it won't be long

"Wing" - Patti Smith

 

I was a wing in heaven blue

Soared over the ocean, soared over Spain

And I was free, needed nobody

It was beautiful

It was beautiful

 

I was a pawn, didn't have a move

Didn't have nowhere that I could go

But I was free, I needed nobody

It was beautiful

It was beautiful

 

And if there's one thing

Could do for you

You'd be a wing

In heaven blue

 

I was a vision in another eye

And they saw nothing, no future at all

Yet I was free, I needed nobody

It was beautiful

It was beautiful

 

And if there's one thing

Could do for you

You'd be a wing

In heaven blue

"Everybody Hurts" - Helping Haiti

 

When your day is long

And the night, the night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough

Of this life

Well hang on

 

Don't let yourself go

Cause everybody cries

And everybody hurts sometimes

 

Sometimes everything is wrong

Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone

Hold on, hold on

If you feel like letting go

Hold on

If you think you've had too much

Of this life

Well, hang on

 

Cause everybody hurts

Take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts

 

Don't throw your hand

Oh, no, don't throw your hand

If you feel like you're alone

No, no, no, you're not alone

 

If you're on your own in this life

The days and nights are long

When you think you've had too much

Of this life to hang on

 

Everybody hurts sometimes

Everybody cries

And everybody hurts sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes

So, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

You are not alone

"Remember Me (My Friend)" - The Moody Blues

 

 

You don't need to ask me

If I'll be your friend

I am, I am

You don't need to ask me

If I'm sure, my friend

I am

 

I am your friend

You must remember me

I'm the one who saw

Through the world's disguise

Took away its cloak and I made it hide

From me

Remember me

 

Walking on this earth

Finding you, you, you

Walking on this earth

Finding you, you, you

What can I say

You don't need to find the words

To say what's on your mind

 

If you need a reason

To begin again

I am, I am

You will find an answer

At your journey's end

 

I am waiting there, my friend

You must remember me

I'm the one who knew you when

I'm the one you call your friend

Feel free

Remember me

 

Walking on this earth

Finding you, you, you

Walking on this earth

Finding you, you, you

What can I say

You don't need to find the words

To say what's on your mind

(x3)

 

Walking on this earth

Finding you, you, you

You, you

You, you

You, you

Live - Lightning Crashes

 

 

"Lightning Crashes"

 

lightning crashes, a new mother cries

her placenta falls to the floor

the angel opens her eyes

the confusion sets in

before the doctor can even close the door

 

lightning crashes, an old mother dies

her intentions fall to the floor

the angel closes her eyes

the confusion that was hers

belongs now to the baby down the hall

 

oh now feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it.

 

lightning crashes, a new mother cries

this moment she's been waiting for

the angel opens her eyes

pale blue colored iris,

presents the circle

and puts the glory out to hide, hide

 

oh now feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it. I can feel it.

 

Oh why [3x]

 

I can feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it.

 

I can feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it.

 

I can feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

 

I can feel it [3x]

Bound to this lonely road

You gave me hope

Gave me hope

Woke my drifting soul

And led me home

Led me home

 

Won't you just stay here

Chase away my fears

Solve my mysteries

 

Won't you just stay here

Chase away my fears

Set my spirit free

 

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days

Keep them softly spoken

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

Oo,

Lifted away from my demons

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

Oo,

Lifted away from my secrets

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

They weigh me down

Weigh me down

Held by a single thread

When you are gone

When you're gone

 

Won't you just stay here

Chase away my fears

Solve my mysteries

 

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days

Keep them softly spoken

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

Oo,

Lifted away from my demons

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

Oo,

Lifted away from my secrets

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

 

And if you start to fade

I will keep you safe

Like you do

 

And if you feel feel afraid

I wil keep your faith

Like you do

 

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days

Keep them softly spoken

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

" Patience"

Low Roar

 

https://youtu.be/nn1IcXOaOak

 

"Patience"

 

Sick of losing my patience

Out of time, lacking rhythm

Barely conscious, oversensitized

Feeling weaker as I stumble around

 

Get out of my mind

Get out of my mind

 

In the morning rests the paper

Heavy snowfall wakes the neighbours

The alarm calls

I clean out my eyes

Feeling nauseous

As the world spins around

 

Get out of my mind

Get out of my mind

" Life On The Moon"

David Cook

 

 

 

"Life On The Moon"

 

Here in this crowd I'm feeling all alone

Turn me around and point me back to home

I'm getting lost more everyday

And I can't tear myself away

From the stars in my eyes with no light

Here are my terms, have some faith in me

And I'll let you be who you need to be

 

[Chorus:]

Life on the moon couldn't be any stranger

Life on the moon wouldn't feel this far away?

The life that I knew is trough

And I'm gonna need you more than ever

I'm alone in this crowded room

Its like life on the moon

 

Flown off the ground my head's up in the air

Self counscious to a fault with all the pople everywhere

Is getting harder everynight to take the punches left and right

Just to know that you're here by my side

Here are my terms have some faith in me

And I'll let you be who you need to be

 

[Chorus]

Life on the moon couldn't be any stranger

Life on the moon wouldn't feel this far away

The life that I knew is through

And im gonna need you more than ever

Im alone in this crowded room

Its like life on the moon

 

Getting lost in my own atmosphere

Stars in the sky are the stars in my eyes

Is the cost of getting out of here alive

 

[Chorus]

Life on the moon couldn't be any stranger

Life on the moon wouldn't feel this far way

The life that I knew is through

And im gonna need you more than ever

Im alone in this crowded room

Life on the moon

Life on the moon

The life that I know is through

And im gonna need you more than ever

Im alone in this crowded room

Its like life on the moon

Life on the moon

" From A Closet In Norway"

You + Me

 

 

"From A Closet In Norway"

 

I would rather be any place but here

Spin the bottle or roll the dice, my dear

'Cause I can't care, I can't seem to break my fall

It seems I would rather be any place at all

 

So if the world is round now, why can't we have everything?

'Cause the highs are so high, these lows are killing me, killing me, killing me

 

I remember when wind would make me cry

I remember when wasn't afraid to die

I wish I'd never, never fallen in love

So take this soul I sold, I'm going back in time

 

So if the world is round now, why can't we have everything?

'Cause the highs are so high, these lows are killing me, killing me, oh, they're killing me

 

Seems the dying are the only ones that really know how to live

It seems the dying are the only ones that really know how to live

Seems the dying are the only ones that really know how to live

It seems the dying are the only ones that really know how to live

"You Are The Moon"

The Hush Sound

 

 

"You Are The Moon"

 

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark

Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms

Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?

The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

 

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear

It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier

All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas

The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

 

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact

So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass

I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky

You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Cryin'" - Boston

 

Different eyes with the same old screen

We laugh, we love

We cry for what we've seen

It's crazy

It's how we feel

We're staring at the walls

And living out of magazines

 

Ooh, ooh

Cryin' outside the line

There's people with disease

 

[CHORUS:]

If you took a chance

Would you like to dance

Cause my heart is cryin'

What it would mean to me

It's like make believe

And my heart is cryin', cryin'

Can't you see my heart is cryin'

 

Different minds with the same old dreams

We live a life of imaginary means

It's crazy

 

A pilot always tries to fly

Without a winning pace

A runner can never decide

To end a given race

Staring outside

A child's made a big mistake

 

[CHORUS]

 

My heart is cryin'

My heart is cryin'

Can't you see my heart is cryin'

Can't you see my heart is cryin'

 

Different minds with the same old dreams

We live a life of imaginary means

Ooh, ooh

Crying outside the line

There's people with disease

 

If you took a chance

Would you like to dance

Cause my heart is cryin'

What it would mean to me

It's like make-believe

And my heart is cryin'

My heart is cryin'

My heart is cryin'

Maggie Reilly - Tears in the rain

 

 

Away from home

Alone again

This time my train is going

Many miles away from you

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else, I've got to be

 

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

What can we do now

Baby we're through now

 

We'll never meet again

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

Nothing to do now

 

Baby we're through now

I won't see you again

Things go their way

It's hard to say

 

Ooh so much time was wasted

Just trying to make you see

So many people change their lives

Trying to understand

 

There's something deep inside me

There's someone else, I've got to be

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

 

What can we do now

Baby we're through now

We'll never meet again

Tears in the rain

 

We'll never be the same

Nothing to do now

Baby we're through now

I won't see you again

 

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else, I've got to be

 

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

What can we do now

Baby we're through now

 

We'll never meet again

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

Nothing to do now

 

Baby we're through now

I won't see you again

Tears in the rain

We'll never be the same

 

What can we do now

Baby we're through now

We'll never meet again

Tears in the rain

"A Song For All The Seasons of Your Mind"

Janis Ian

 

Waterfalls cascading down

A summer wind of golden brown

Leaves are flying in the air

And in the sky your tangled hair

Then never worry, you're loving life

They're all the same on sunbeam lights

Watch the sky as it turns blue

Nights are slow to rush on you

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

Avalanches burying

And all the doctors hurrying

A mental institution

And the rain of retribution

All the muddy ponds and dirty sewers

Feed your mind upon a skewer

Put you up and pull you down

Rusty nails turn fingers brown

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

Laughter flows among the trees

A golden green hilarity

Your eyes are aching from the sun

And oh the evening's just begun

You don't know why you're laughing so

There is no cause for it to show

But just the same, fall to the floor

Of all the good times you recall

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

Running through a blackened dream

Awakened with a nightmare scream

See your clothing come alive

Earthquakes cause your mind to slide

You try to find where peace has gone

Like turning live a rubber swan

Floating down an endless stream

Forgetting mental poverty

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

Happiness at loving one

You gain the grace of sad-eyed swans

And quietly beneath the tree

Loving all his mystery

The grass is still, it comes alive

Beneath your naked foot it writhes

Feel the love within you grow

Like beauty on a newborn rose

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

Emptiness at losing him

The memory of all your sins

The grass is sharp to walk upon

The river black, the trees are gone

Like frightened ducks before the war

You dream you search for just one more

As one becomes another one

You wonder where the day has gone

A song for all the seasons of your mind

 

And in the silent evening breeze

Knowledge comes so quietly

The clear blue water from above

An avalanche can hold you up

The leaves that swirl about your eyes

May wear an unforeseen disguise

But when your clothing comes alive

You can be sure it's you inside

A song for all the seasons of your mind

"Listen to the Lion" - Van Morrison

 

And all my love come down

All my love come tumbling down

All my love come tumbling down

All my love come tumbling down

 

Oh, listen to the lion

Oh, listen, listen to the lion

Inside of me

 

And I shall search my soul

I shall search my very soul

And I shall search my very soul

I shall search my very soul

 

For the lion, for the lion

For the lion, for the lion

Inside of me

Oh yeah

 

And all my tears have flown

All my tears like water flowing

And all my tears like water flowing

All my tears like water flowing

 

For the lion, for the lion

For the lion, for the lion

Inside of me

 

Listen to the lion

Listen to the lion

Listen to the lion

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia

 

And we sailed, and we sailed

All around the world

And we sailed, and we sailed

And we sailed

Looking for a brand new start

 

And we sailed

And we sailed, and we sailed

All around the world

"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson

 

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

 

Trying hard to reach out

But when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I pray

I could breakaway

 

[CHORUS:]

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly 

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

 

Want to feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get on board a fast train

Travel on a jet plane

Far away

And break away

 

[CHORUS]

 

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me

But gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away

Breakaway

 

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly 

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Breakaway

Kate Bush - A Coral Room

 

https://youtu.be/mp6V5B9WJng

 

There's a city, draped in net

Fisherman net

And in the half light, in the half light

It looks like every tower

Is covered in webs

Moving and glistening and rocking

It's babies in rhythm

As the spider of time is climbing

Over the ruins

 

There were hundreds of people living here

Sails at the windows

And the planes came crashing down

And many a pilot drowned

And the speed boats flying above

Put your hand over the side of the boat

What do you feel?

 

My mother and her little brown jug

It held her milk

And now it holds our memories

I can hear her singing

"Little brown jug don't I love thee"

"Little brown jug don't I love thee"

Ho ho ho, hee hee hee

 

I hear her laughing

She is standing in the kitchen

As we come in the back door

See it fall

See it fall

Oh little spider climbing out of a broken jug

And the pieces will lay there a while

In a house draped in net

In a room filled with coral

Sails at the window

Forests of masts

Put your hand over the side of the boat

Put your hand over the side of the boat

What do you feel?
