Mega City Four - Ticket Collector

 

 

You don't get much time

So you don't have much patience with me

It's a mutual affliction

Stick around and see

I've all the time in the world for you

But I'm using it up on me

 

I'll give you a break

I'll give you a clue

I was never the one for you

I waited for longer

Than I can remember

 

My ticket is well overdue

 

It's a mutual indifference

And you aren't here to see

I've all the time in the world for you

But I'm spending it all on me

 

It's not out of spite

I know what that implies

I know what that implies

You should take it as a compliment

I'm following your lead

I guess it's a kind of flattery

But it's not being used to deceive

 

I'll give you a break

I'll give you a clue

I was never the one for you

I waited for longer

Than I can remember

My ticket is well overdue

 

You're typically not there at all

Now you're missing my very last call

 

It's with mutual disdain

The War On Drugs - In Reverse

 

https://youtu.be/KI3H8myhJBI

 

You've been out on the street

Talkin' bout the war with me

And the background is at night

Don't want to hesitate

Will they tell me where you're hiding?

But through the haze there's no one there.

Wondering if you care.

Callin' out your name in the darkness

 

When I'm done with my time here

I'm going to keep staying strong

Through the railways

But I never mind going

And I realize now that the road is bare

And I hear it all through the grand parade

 

And I don't mind you disappearing

'Cause I know you can be found

We be liven' on the dark side of the street, damn.

When we livin' in the moment

And losing our grasp

Making it last with the grand parade in our past

 

Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow

As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in

But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys

It evaporates and fades like a grand parade

 

And I don't mind you disappearing

When I know you can be found

When you livin' on the dark side of the street, damn?

We just livin' in the moment, making our past, losin' our grasp through the grand parade

 

I'll be here or I'll fade away

Never cared about moving, never cared about now

Not the notes I'm playing

Is there room in the dark, in between the changes?

Like a light that's drifting, in reverse I'm moving.

Lush - For Love

 

 

Pretty little girl, she shines

Knowing she is young, she smiles

Happy just to be a prize

Happy just to see his smile

 

Silly little girl, she tries

Thinking she is good, and wise

Doesn't recognise the lies

Pouring from her lips, she sighs:

 

This is so real,

It's what I feel,

I look in your eyes and lose myself

 

Silly little girl denies

Every understanding why

Her face is full of sad surprise

Every time she hears him cry:

 

What do you feel

When you're with me?

I look in your eyes and see myself

 

But there's no connection,

Just his own reflection

Isn't this the way you wanted me?

(what do you mean?)

In love with you

(what do I feel?)

Do anything

(what do you mean?)

For you

 

She looked in his eyes to lose herself

 

And when it falls apart, she cries

Doesn't think to look inside

She just covers up her eyes

Doesn't see her own disguise

 

And though she feels this sorrow,

It will fade tomorrow

She'll pretend that this was really love

(what do you mean?)

She'll make their fall

(what did I feel?)

Seem beautiful

(what do you mean?)

She won't remember this at all

(what do you mean?)

She won't recall

(what did I feel?)

The truth at all

(what do you mean?)

She wants to fall

(what did I feel?)

Again

(what do you mean?)

Reach Out and Touch by Diana Ross

 

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand

Make this world a better place

If you can

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand

Make this world a better place

If you can

Take a little time out of your busy day

To give encouragement

To someone who's lost the way

(Just try)

Or would I be talking to a stone

If I asked you

To share a problem that's not your own

We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand

Make this world a better place

If you can

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand

Make this world a better place

If you can

If you see an old friend on the street

And he's down

Remember his shoes could fit your feet

(Just try)

Try a little kindness you'll see

It's something…

"Sadness Don't Own Me" - The Staves

 

Oh, my God

It's been so long

I'm a passenger, a satellite

Still hanging on

 

Man, am I terrified

At least I can say that I tried

Man, am I burning alive

What have I become

Sadness don't own me for long

 

All that time, over too soon

And there's panic rising up

Spilling out, eclipsing the moon

Deep, deep, down

Getting back up

Check your jacket

Check your jeans

But it's not enough

 

Man am I terrified

Take it all away

At least I can say that I tried

When I'm still the same

Man, am I burning alive

What have I become

Oh sadness don't own me for long

Own me for long

 

What have I become

Oh sadness don't own me for long

Own me for long

"King Hummingbird" - JJ Grey & Mofro

 

A crown of red

King Hummingbird

There upon your perch

Say the word

 

And I'll fall down

On my knees and beg

For the life I took from you, my king

Oh, this empty thing I've done

 

Everywhere I go

I feel you there

Everywhere I go

I feel you there

Do you even know me

Do you even care

 

The deepest green

And rainbow blue

As delicate and light

As morning dew

 

Beating wings they whisper

A baby's breath

Filling me with wonder

For all that is

 

But I took careful aim

And I made no sound

For no reason I can think of now

Oh, this empty thing I've done

 

Everywhere I go

I feel you there

Everywhere I go

I feel you there

I feel you

 

I feel you

I feel you there

I feel you

Oh, I feel you

Oh, I feel you

I feel you there

"Hold On" - Mary Beth Maziarz

 

Time after time feels like I'm fading away

Stopped on a dime, staring into space

And clarity comes and clarity goes

But for all these epiphanies I'm still lost

Holding roses, holding roses

 

At the start of your life, are you given a golden key

To personalize so carefully

And slowly you groove it, you make it your own

When you find where it fits, well, you swing it wide

And follow him home, examine his soul

 

[CHORUS:]

And if the moment hums

With something deep and low

Hold on, hold on

And if your timing comes

Like you're a single soul

Hold on, hold on, hold on

 

I know it's hard, yeah, you've got a complicated scene

They tell you listen to your heart

Whatever the hell that means

And whisper they may, but they will anyway

And it's you who'll be living each second in between

 

[CHORUS]

 

Confessions and awakenings

Street corner serenades and midnight trains

Truthful fiction at the heart of things

Believing in the game

 

Time after time, feels like I'm fading away

Stopped on a dime, staring into space

And clarity comes and clarity goes

But for all these epiphanies I'm still lost

Holding roses, holding roses

Holding roses

"Let's Run Away" - Dido

 

http://newshour.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/2012/09/27/Hsing_Hsing_l_and_Ling_Ling_r_-_Jessie_Cohen_Smithsonians_Nat_Zoo_slideshow.JPG

 

And before I start the day

I have a glimpse of how I used to feel

When we drove all night and laughed all day

Thinking nothing can go wrong

 

And now our hands are full and walking in the dark

I don't know what's below or what's above

But it doesn't matter now

Don't look back, don't look back

 

Let's run away

Then tomorrow won't be the same

Let's go away

Then today won't feel the same

 

And don't look up and don't look left or right

And trust me now and we'll be fine

I'll take your fear and send it out to sea

And you'll forget every little thing you've seen

 

And it doesn't matter now

Don't look back

 

Oh, let's run away

Then tomorrow won't be the same

Let's go away

Then today won't feel the same

(x2)

 

Let's run away

Then tomorrow won't feel the same

Won't feel the same

"Bird of Sorrow" - Glen Hansard

 

Even if a day feels too long

You feel like you can't wait another one

And you're slowly giving up on everything

Love is gonna find you again

Love is gonna find you

You better be ready then

 

You've been kneeling in the dark

For far too long

You've been waiting for that spark

But it hasn't come

 

Well I'm calling to you please

Get off the floor

A good heart will find you again

A good heart will find you

Just be ready then

 

[CHORUS:]

Tethered to a bird of sorrow

A voice that's buried in the hollow

You've given over to self-deceiving

You're prostrate bowed but not believing

You've squandered more than you could borrow

You've bet your joy on all tomorrows

For the hope of some returning

While everything around you's burning

 

Come on, we gotta get out

Get out of this mess we made

And still for all our talk

We're both so afraid

 

Will we leave this up to chance

Like we do everything

Love is gonna find us again

Love is gonna find us

We've gotta be ready then

 

[CHORUS]

 

But I'm not leaving you here

I'm not leaving you here

I'm not leaving

I'm not leaving you here

I'm not leaving you

I'm not leaving you here

 

I'm hanging on, hanging on

I'm hanging on, hanging on

Hanging on, hanging on

With the faithful

With the faithful

I'm hanging on

It's gonna come

It's gonna come

 

Hanging on

Hanging on

With the faithful

The faithful

I can tell you're also very into your music, Estee.  I think by doing what we're already doing, we can all be very proud of ourselves for making it through each and every day.

"Not Alone" - Sara Bareilles

 

It comes calling in the evening

When the temperature is dropping down

They say it don't get cold here

But I beg to differ now

 

There is something in the shadows

More than sister silhouette

Something sinister and strange

That I haven't seen yet

 

[CHORUS:]

And I don't wanna be alone

Sky, don't let the sun go

I'm not ready for the darkness

Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't wanna cry when you go

Stay a little longer, you know

You're making me feel I'm not alone

 

You don't have to fight the bad guys

Throwing punches out into the black

If you have to tell me lies I don't care

Just give me some good back

 

[CHORUS]

 

Cause I only worry about it

Worry about it, worry about it

I just keep breaking down

Breaking down, breaking down

 

Oh, I could do without

Do without, do without

A night of the bad dreams, sad things

Tell me what they mean

 

I don't wanna be alone

Sky, don't let the sun go

I'm not ready for the darkness

Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't wanna cry when you go

Stay a little longer, you know

You're making me feel

The monsters aren't real

You're making me feel

I'm not alone

I'm not alone, no

I'm not alone, no

Not alone

"Edge of Seventeen" - Stevie Nicks

 

[CHORUS:]

Just like the white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(x2)

 

And the days go by like a strand in the wind

In the web that is my own

I begin again

Said to my friend

Baby, nothing else mattered

 

He was no more than a baby then

Well, he seemed broken-hearted

Something within him

But the moment that I first laid eyes on him

All alone on the edge of seventeen

 

[CHORUS]

 

Well, I went today

Maybe I will go again tomorrow, yeah, yeah

Well, the music there

Well it was hauntingly familiar

When I see you doing what I try to do for me

With the words of a poet and the voice from a choir

And a melody, nothing else mattered

 

[CHORUS]

 

The clouds never expect it when it rains

But the sea changes colors

But the sea does not change

So with the slow graceful flow of age

I went forth with an age old desire to please

On the edge of seventeen

 

[CHORUS]

 

Well then suddenly

There was no one left standing in the hall

Yeah, yeah, in a flood of tears

That no one really ever heard fall at all

Well, I went searching for an answer

Up the stairs and down the hall

Not to find an answer, just to hear the call

Of a nightbird singing

Come away, come away, come away

 

[CHORUS]

 

Well, I hear you in the morning

And I hear you at nightfall

Sometime to be near you

Is to be unable to hear you, my love

I'm a few years older than you

 

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh-ooh-ooh

"Freedom Deep" - INXS

 

Show me the way

Give away the truth I'm looking for

I need a new way out of here

The door is opening

 

Freedom take me deeper

Freedom take me deeper

 

All of the days gone astray

The clouds are giving in

 

Freedom take me deeper

Freedom take me deeper

 

I need a new way out of here

The door is opening

I'm losing my fear

Suddenly the way has come to me

 

Freedom take me deeper

Freedom take me deeper

Freedom take me deeper

Freedom take me deeper

 

Freedom, freedom

Freedom

"Better Days" - Melissa Manchester

 

Well, another day has come

After all is said and done

You are here as you were before

 

Cause it feels as if we've been

Through it all and back again

Now I know there'll be something more

 

[CHORUS:]

No more tears left to hide

We have made it through

A long and lonely night

Better days on our side

Oh, it looks as though

We're doing something right

 

And in perfect time we'll flow

Sometimes up and down we'll go

Like a ring in a carousel

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh, it looks as though

We're doing something right

 

No more tears left to hide

We have made it through

A long and lonely night

Better days on our side

Oh, it looks as though

We're doing something right

"Becoming Who We Are" - Midnight Hour

 

http://nowiknow.com/wp-content/uploads/6569308443_06729a9730_z.jpg

 

Here we are

Out on our own now

Not living in the future

Not running from the past

 

We've counted up the days

We counted down the minutes

We're counting on each other

Yeah, we're gonna make it last

 

I don't know where we'll go

But even if we stumble and fall

We're becoming who we are

 

This is just the start

And it's gonna get harder 

But I don't want no other

There's no one quite like you are

 

With pennies in the jar

And holes in our pockets

Yeah I might not have much

But I promise you the stars

 

Our hearts toss and turn

And we're so unsure

There's so much we can't see

There's so much we need to learn

 

I don't know where we'll go

But even if we stumble and fall

We're becoming who we are

 

I don't know where we'll go

But even if we stumble and fall

We're becoming who we are

The Jesus And Mary Chain - The Harderst Walk

 

 

I never thought that this day would ever come

When your words and your touch just struck me numb

Oh, and it's plain to see that it's dead

The thing swims in blood and it's cold, stony dead

 

It's so hard not to feel ashamed

Of the loving, living games we play each day

 

And I'm stuck in a shack down the back of the sea

Oh, and I'm alive and I'm alone inside a sick, sick dream

Oh, is it me, is it me that feels so weak?

I cannot deceive but I find it hard to speak

 

The hardest walk you could ever take

Is the walk you take from A to B to C

 

I walk, oh honey, I talk

 

Don't want you to want me

Don't want you to need me

Don't want you to need me

Don't want you to need me

 

And I walk
