Catherine Wheel - Heal

 

 

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

 

I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cos

Only when I try am I happier to see

My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

 

But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad

There's a streak of melancholy running down my back

And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man

I call it strange from a boy who never left his head

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

 

And everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone to live by

 

But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg

For something more for something better than you've had

And I wish I knew

I wish I knew how to change

'Cos everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone to live by

Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone

It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

"The Wish" - Eurielle

 

In a world of hope and promises

I had a dream of love and blissful happiness

I imagined myself with the perfect life

Where all that matters to me could be mine

 

But somehow it passed me by

And left me stranded here

I'm running out of time

Too late for me I fear

 

[CHORUS:]

If wishing alone could turn out the light

I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night

If I could escape just by closing my eyes

I'd already be safe under different skies

 

Thought I'd found my fairy tale

A bed of roses, how could we fail

With everything we needed to be free

No storm ahead that we could foresee

 

Still somehow it slipped away

A cruel mirage it seems

To lure me through my days

Yet still appeals to me

 

[CHORUS]

 

You've got me on my knees

Do you want me to say please

I can't go on

 

If wishing alone could turn out the light

I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night

If I could escape just by closing my eyes

I'd already be safe under different skies

"Wishing" - Joan Armatrading

 

I saw a star falling

Like an old Hollywood actress

A neon sign with just one letter showing

A burned out light at my feet

I took a wish

I wished on that jewel from the sky

 

I wished on the moon haunting the trees

A target too big for the sky

 

I wanted it so bad

I was wishing on a prayer

But it kept right on dodging

A riderless horse

To the left, to the right

Straight to the eye

Yet changing direction

There within reach

And then out of sight

 

I'd waited too long

Watched for that pot to boil

Waited too long for the whistle

 

I wanted it so bad

I was wishing on a prayer

But it kept right on dodging

A riderless horse

To the left, to the right

Straight to the eye

Yet changing direction

There within reach

And then out of sight

 

I saw a star falling

Like an old Hollywood actress

A neon sign with just one letter showing

A burned out light at my feet

I took a wish

I wished on that jewel from the sky

 

I saw a star falling

"Wish I Could Fly" - Roxette

 

Halfway through the night

I wake up in a dream

Echoes in my head

Make every whisper turn into a scream

 

I dreamed I could fly

Out in the blue

Over this town following you

Over the trees, subways, and cars

I'd try to find out who you really are

 

In the middle of the night

Cool sweating in my bed

Got the windows open wide

Thinking about all the things you said

 

I wish I could fly

Out in the blue

Over this town following you

I'd fly over rooftops and great boulevards

To try to find out who you really are

Who you really are

 

I wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly now

 

I wish I could fly

Around and around

Over this town

The dirt on the ground

I'll follow your course of doors left ajar

To try to find out who you really are

Who you really are

 

Fly, fly, fly

I wish I could fly

 

I wake up in a dream

In the middle of the night

I wish I could fly

I wish I could fly

"Wish For You" - Faith Hill

 

A setting sun that paints a tie-dyed sky

A feather bed, an ancient lullaby

A kiss good night from one whose love is true

That's the kind of day I wish for you

 

A field of flowers dancing in the spring

A little creek, a tree, an old rope swing

Cotton candy clouds against the blue

That's the kind of day I wish for you

 

First love with all its storm

Raging like fire within

Tossing your heart to chance

You swear the dance will never end

 

But then it does and someone says goodbye

And after all those empty nights you cried

The morning that you wake up good as new

That's the kind of day I wish for you

 

The faith of knowing deep inside your heart

That heaven holds more than just some stars

Someone's up there watching over you

That's the kind of day I wish for you

"Wish You Were Here"

Fleetwood Mac

 

 

There's distance between us

And you're on my mind

As I lay here in the darkness

I can find no peace inside

 

[CHORUS:]

I wish you were here

Holding me tight

If I had you near

It would make it alright

I wish you were here

Cause I feel like a child tonight

 

Rain on my window

I can count the drops

But I can't help feeling lonely

There's no way I can stop

 

[CHORUS]

 

Each moment is a memory

Time is so unkind

Every hour filled with an emptiness

I can't hide

 

There's distance between us

And you're on my mind

As I lay here in the darkness

I can find no peace inside

 

I wish you were here

Holding me tight

If I had you near

It would make it alright

I wish you were here

Cause I feel like a child tonight

REM - The Wake-Up bomb

 

 

I look good in a glass pack, I look good and mean

I look good in metallic sick wraparound and blackout tease

I scud along the horizon, I drink some sweet tree tea

I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean, I like being seen

I look good with my drink-eat-no-sleep, take-a-leap longevity

I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973

Oh, I'm in deep

 

[Pre-Chorus]

My head's on fire and high esteem

Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

 

[Chorus]

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

My head's on fire and high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene

Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

 

[Verse 2]

I had to knock a few buildings over, I make an ugly mess

I had to blow a gasket, drop transmission, I had to decompress

I had to write the great American novel, I had a neutron bomb

I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21

I wake up (Wake up), I wake up (Wake up)

I threw up when I saw what I'd done

 

[Chorus]

Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb

My head's on fire and high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene

Oh, I'd rather be anywhere than doing anything

 

[bridge]

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up

I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up

I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

Yeah, atomic, supersonic, what a joke, oh, I'm dumb

See you, d-don't want to be you, you lunch meat, pond scum

 

[Outro]

My head's on fire in high esteem

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

REM - Life and How to Live It

 

 

[Verse 1]

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

Two doors to go between the wall was raised today

Two doors, two names to call your others and your own

Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

 

[Chorus]

My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street

My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street

To tell what I have hidden there

 

[Verse 2]

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

Two doors to go between the wall was raised today

Raise the walls to chide its flaws, the carpenter should rest

So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best

 

[Chorus]

My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street

My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street

To tell what I have hidden there

 

[bridge]

The hills ringing hear the words in time

Listen to the holler

Listen to my walls within my tongue

Can't you see you made my ears go tin?

The air quicken tension building inference and suddenly

Life and how to live it

 

[Verse 3]

Raise the walls to chide its flaws, the carpenter should rest

So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best

Read about the wisdom lost, the knock-knock-knock

A secret knock, one hammer's locked, the other wisdom lost

 

[Chorus]

My carpenter's out and running about and talking to the street

My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street

To tell what I have hidden there

My carpenter's out and running about and barking in the...

Listen to the holler

My pockets are out and running about and barking in the street

To tell what I have hidden there

 

[Outro]

Listen, listen to the holler

I'm gonna write a book, it will be called Life and How to Live It

Eminem - Deja Vu

 

https://youtu.be/AOxOVRkyC1U

 

[intro]

DMC, we have a mid-thirties male found down, unresponsive

Possible overdose, substance unknown

Pulse is 60 and thready, respiration's eight

He's intubated and we're bagging him now

Uh, BP 90 over palp, patient is cool, pale, and diaphoretic

Has aspirated, uh, GSC is 3

Will update en route, ETA ten minutes

 

[Verse 1]

As I fall deeper into a manic state

I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait

Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate

I seem to gravitate to the bottle of NyQuil then I salivate

Start off with the NyQuil, like, I think I'll just have a taste

Couple of sips of that then I gradually graduate

To a harder prescription drug called Valium, like, yeah that's great

I go to just take one and I end up like having eight

Now I need something in my stomach 'cause I haven't ate

Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak

And you'd think that with all I have at stake

Look at my daughter's face

"Mommy, something is wrong with Dad I think

He's acting weird again, he's really beginning to scare me

Won't shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn't hear me

And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos

And he just fell asleep in his car eating 3 Musketeers in the rear seat"

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

 

[Verse 2]

"Maybe just a nice cold brew, what's a beer?"

That's the devil in my ear, I've been sober a fuckin' year

And that fucker still talks to me, he's all I can fucking hear

"Marshall, come on, we'll watch the game

It's the Cowboys and Buccaneers"

And maybe if I just drink half, I'll be half-buzzed

For half of the time; Who's the mastermind behind that little line?

With that kind of rationale, man, I got half a mind

To have another half a glass of wine, sounds asinine

Yeah, I know, but I never had no problem with alcohol

Ouch, look out for the wall, aim for the couch, I'm 'bout to fall

I miss the couch and down I go, lookin' like a bouncy ball

Shit must've knocked me out 'cause I ain't feel the ground at all

Wow, what the fuck happened last night? Where am I?

Man, fuck, am I hungover, and goddamn, I

Got a headache, shit, half a Vicodin, why can't I?

All systems ready for take off, please stand by

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

 

[Verse 3]

So I take a Vicodin, splash, it hits my stomach, then "Ahhh"

Couple of weeks go by, it ain't even like I'm gettin' high

Now I need it just not to feel sick, yeah, I'm gettin' by

Wouldn't even be taking this shit if DeShaun didn't die

Oh yeah, there's an excuse; you lose Proof so you use

There's new rules, it's cool if it's helpin' you to get through

It's twelve noon, ain't no harm in self-inducin' a snooze

What else is new? Fuck it, what would Elvis do in your shoes?

Now here I am three months later, full-blown relapse

"Just get high until the kids get home from school, homes, relax"

And since I'm convinced that I'm an insomniac

I need these pills to be able to sleep, so I take three naps

Just to be able to function throughout the day, let's see

That's an Ambien each nap, how many Valium? Three

And that will average out to about one good hour's sleep

Okay, so now ya see the reason how come he

Has taken four years to just put out an album, B

See, me and you, we almost had the same outcome, Heath

'Cause that Christmas, you know the whole pneumonia thing?

It was bologna, was it the methadone, ya think?

Or the hydrocodone you hide inside your pornos?

Your VCR tape cases, with your Ambien CR

Great places to hide 'em, ain't it? So you can lie to Hailie

I'm going beddy-bye, Whitney, baby; good night, Alaina!

Go in the room and shut the bedroom door

And wake up in an ambulance

They said they found me on the bathroom floor, damn

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

"River Wider" - Tall Heights

 

The dog days of August

And a feeling of being away

Oh my God, my whole damn world

Is hotel walls and mind decay

 

How come I never got used to

The feeling of sleeping in a cage

Too long driving, too damn hungry

A tied-up hound but nothing stays

 

Never swam a river wider, wider

Couldn't climb a mountain taller

Never seen a morning rising brighter

Never tasted sweeter cellar cider

Couldn't hold a hammer stronger

Never had a need for shining china

 

I sit right where I used to

My desk chair in a corner in a haze

Oh my God, my whole damn world

Is a smoked out pine in a sonic blaze

 

I still have direction

But I'm digging in my thoughts all day

I see the devil like I used to

I hear my rhythm out of phase

 

Never swam a river wider, wider

Couldn't climb a mountain taller

Never seen a morning rising brighter

Never tasted sweeter cellar cider

Couldn't hold a hammer stronger

Never had a need for shining china

(x2)

"Journey From Eden"

Steve Miller Band

 

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you

For me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity

 

I am dreaming of a garden

And I see the midnight flight

Of a blackbird through my vision

To the light

To the light

 

She is standing in the doorway

With the love light in her eye

And she beckons me to journey

Through the night

Through the night

 

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you

For me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity

 

To the people, who are naked

As they breathe in amber haze

Wandering endlessly narcotic

Through the maze

Through the maze

 

To the leaders who are timeless

As they flaunt their warlike ways

Flying endlessly over the wasteland

Seeking praise

Seeking praise

 

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you

For me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity

"Wonderful Life"

 

 

    Katie Melua                                                Black                                                      Lara Fabian

https://youtu.be/abGe6uM9Ias                    https://youtu.be/Kmv4GI9w_MY             

 

 

Here I go out to sea again

The sunshine fills my hair

And dreams hang in the air

 

Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes

You know it feels unfair

There's magic everywhere

 

[CHORUS:]

Look at me standing

Here on my own again

Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to laugh and cry

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

 

The sun's in your eyes

The heat is in your hair

They seem to hate you

Because you're there

 

And I need a friend

Oh, I need a friend

To make me happy

Not stand here on my own

 

[CHORUS]

 

I need a friend

Oh, I need a friend

To make me happy

Not so alone

 

Look at me here

Here on my own again

Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to laugh and cry

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

 

No need to run and hide

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to laugh and cry

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Wonderful life

"Clear White Light" - Lindisfarne

 

Do you believe

The clear white light

Is going to guide us on

 

Running along the ground

Singing a song in the morning light

Following flowery fields

As far as out of sight

 

Turning your head to the clouds

And the sky and the trees

Cause you never know

What you might see

 

[CHORUS:]

Do you believe

The clear white light

Is going to guide us on the way

 

Seeing the sun

As it wants to be seen by everyone

Melting the sky through a hole in your eye

Where the magic comes

 

Turning your head to the skies

With the clouds in your eyes

Cause you never know

What you might find

 

[CHORUS]

 

Now is the time to be loving and kind

To your fellow men

Seeing the sympathy

Starting out all over again

 

Now is the time

To give love just one more go

Cause you never know

What you might know

 

And I believe

The clear white light

Is going to guide us on

Yes I believe

The clear white light

Is going to guide us on

"Thank You" - Leona Lewis

 

 

If I've ever put you through Hell 

Only called when I needed help

If I've only thought of myself

Couldn't find the words to say what I felt

 

If I've ever lied to your face

Shut you out to keep you away

You'd always give and I'd always take

Yes, it took some time for me to say

 

[CHORUS:]

Thank you

Thank you

For seeing the best and the worst of me

The angel underneath

Thank you

 

When I had trouble finding my way

You showed me I am not my mistakes

And that dreams are meant to be lived

Not to be chased

And our hearts get stronger after they break

 

[CHORUS]

 

Cause I wouldn't be here without you

How could I ever doubt you

Slamming doors didn't stop you

Oh, you made me face up to

 

I wouldn't be here without you

How could I ever doubt you

I was running wild, a reckless child

I'm sorry if I let you down

 

If I ever put you through Hell

Only called when I needed help

Yes, it took some time for me to say

 

Thank you

Thank you

For seeing the best and the worst of me

The angel underneath

Thank you

 

Thank you

Thank, thank you

Thank you

Thank you
