Bruce Springsteen-Atlantic City

 

 

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

Now they blew up his house too

Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight

Gonna see what them racket boys can do

 

Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state

And the D.A. can't get no relief

Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade

And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

 

[Chorus]

Well now everything dies baby that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

 

[Verse 2]

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away

But I got debts that no honest man can pay

So I drew what I had from the Central Trust

And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

 

[Chorus]

 

[bridge]

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but

With you forever I'll stay

We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold

 

So put on your stockings baby

Cause the night's getting cold

And everything dies baby that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

 

[Verse 3]

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find

Down here it's just winners and losers

And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line

Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end

So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him

 

[Chorus]

Well now everything dies baby that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise

 

 

I hold you in my arms

As the band plays

What are those words whispered baby

Just as you turn away

I saw you last night

Out on the edge of town

I wanna read your mind

To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found

So tell me what I see

When I look in your eyes

Is that you baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

 

I heard somebody call your name

From underneath our willow

I saw something tucked in shame

Underneath your pillow

Well I've tried so hard baby

But I just can't see

What a woman like you

Is doing with me

So tell me who I see

When I look in your eyes

Is that you baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

 

Now look at me baby

Struggling to do everything right

And then it all falls apart

When out go the lights

I'm just a lonely pilgrim

I walk this world in wealth

I want to know if it's you I don't trust

'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself

 

Now you play the loving woman

I'll play the faithful man

But just don't look too close

Into the palm of my hand

We stood at the alter

The gypsy swore our future was right

But come the wee wee hours

Well maybe baby the gypsy lied

So when you look at me

You better look hard and look twice

Is that me baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

 

Tonight our bed is cold

I'm lost in the darkness of our love

God have mercy on the man

Who doubts what he's sure of

” Have You Got It In You?”

Imogene Heap

 

 

 

"Have You Got It In You?"

 

It takes a lot...to be always on form...

It takes a lot.

I maybe not...all the time, all I've got...

Maybe not.

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?

One nerve remaining, waiting on one look....have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

 

All at once, not a whisper, nor word.

Then all at once...

Let me have it all, let me have a battle on,

Easy target,

Look can we just...just get it over with.

It's getting worse, against all the odds...

It's getting worse.

(Guard down, floor's yours, last man standing can we, just get it over with.)

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...don't push me...what's the hurry?

Cause there's One nerve remaining, waiting on one look,

One look now...have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

 

Blue blue day make me blue...

Head down, quick! Take cover, big girl in a mood.

Blue you, make me anymore blue?

Long spin shout power clean right out of your suit.

 

One more, one more, one more, one more

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?

One nerve remaining, waiting on one look...have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

” I Found Myself”

Anna Clendening

 

 

"I Found Myself"

 

I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces

I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

 

My heart was beating, barely breathing but still alive

Lost along the way I'd given up my fight

Scattered to pieces all along the floor, within the brokenness

I found something more

 

I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces

I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

 

I was broken, torn apart

Scars line my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart

They remind me of what is real

No longer needing pain to feel

 

I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces

I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

 

I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces

I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

 

I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces

I found myself,on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me

” Journey”

Natasha Blume

 

 

“ Journey”

 

When you commit to a path

I guess you were on your own

Follow your dreams to a place

A space, the grace, that takes you home

You don't have to tell me once or twice

Wonder why we're here

We just gotta stop the flood

Before we lose it all and drown from fear

 

 

But let me tell you

I'm ready to fly

I've survived through rainstorms, sandstorms

I fought the war

Now it's time to go home

 

Let me tell you

I'm ready to fly

I've survived through rainstorms, sandstorms

I fought the war

Now it's time to go home

It's time to go home

It's time to go home

” Helium”

Sia

 

https://youtu.be/nLnpvbBSjUY

 

"Helium"

 

 

I'm trying but I keep falling down

I cry out but nothing comes now

I'm giving my all

And I know peace will come

I never wanted to need someone

 

Yeah, I wanted to play tough

Thought I could do all this on my own

But even Superwoman

Sometimes needed Superman's soul

 

Help me out of this hell

Your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down

When I've hit the ground

You're all I need

 

And if you let go

I'll float towards the sun

I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up

But when the fear comes

And I drift towards the ground

I am lucky that you're around

 

Yeah, I wanted to play tough

Thought I could do all this on my own

But even Superwoman

Sometimes needed Superman's soul

 

Help me out of this hell

Your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down

When I've hit the ground

You're all I need

'Cause your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up like helium

 

You lift me up and I am found

You lift me up before I hit the ground

You lift me up when I'm down down down

You lift me up before I hit the ground

You lift me up and I am found

You lift me up before I hit the ground

You lift me up when I'm down down down

You lift me up before I hit the ground

 

Your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down

When I've hit the ground

You're all I need

'Cause your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up like helium

Your love lifts me up like helium

Slowdive - Sugar for the pill (Live on KEXP)

 

 

[Verse 1]

There's a buzzard of gulls

They're drumming in the wind

Only lovers alive

Running in the dark

 

[Chorus]

Anna rolled away

Said we never wanted much

Just a rollercoast'

Our love was never number one

Sugar for the pill

You know it's just the way things are

Can't abide the sun

This jealousy will break the whole

 

[Verse 2]

Cut across the sky

And move a little closer now

Lying in a bed of greed

You know I had the strangest dream

 

[Chorus]

Anna rolled away

Said we never wanted much

Just a rollercoast'

Our love was never number one

Sugar for the pill

You know it's just the way things are

Can't abide the sun

This jealousy will break the whole

Catherine Wheel - Waydown

 

 

I breed deep in my a beautiful thing

And I need energy for my beautiful thing

But pain for days has stayed with me

Expect to see some change in me

From happy to frown

 

I'm on my way down

I'm on my way down

I'm on my way down

I'm on my way down

 

I know noisy noisy please this fool

So hear my plan and understand why I feel so cruel

Take this huge expanse of sound

And wrap it in these rags I found

And in true style

 

I'm on my way down

 

Oh this is worth the cost she said

This is worth every penny she said

And I think I can see through everything

This is how I feel

This is how I feel

This is how I feel

 

I'm on my way down

I'm on my way down

Adorable - Crash Sight

 

 

Here I stand all alone

My shaking hands are all I own

And your star-struck lips

They just reminded me of what I've missed

What I've kissed

 

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you shine to view

Shiver when you come crashing through

 

Shiver at, shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come shining

This is the only way out, this is the only way to go

This is the only way out, this is the only way I know

I know

 

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you shine to view

Shiver when you come crashing through

 

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come shining through

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come...

 

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come crashing through

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come shining through

Shiver at the sight of you

Shiver when you come crashing through

Adorable - Everything is Fine

 

 

You took him down to the coast

Just to get away

There they sat within the dunes

Not knowing what to say

You told him, well maybe lied

Mother's gone away for a while too

And she told me to say

That she still loves you

And everything's fine

Everything's fine

Everything's fine

 

He turned to hide his eyes

From the eyes of memory

Remembered kiss of see-salt lips

Tied up in history

And when you held him just as he had held her

He whispered "I need you"

And looking skywards he lied

"Everything's fine"

Everything's fine

Everything's fine

Everything's fine

 

Everything's fine

Fine

Fine

Fine

"Wishing On The Moon" - Dan Fogelberg

 

How many eyes will you search in sorrow

Seeking to borrow some sight of your own

How many lies will you have to suffer

Until you discover there's nobody home

 

How many roads will you have to wander

How many dead-end streets

How many dreams will you finally squander

Dodging your own defeats

 

You're wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Just wishing on the moon tonight

 

How many doors will you have to open

Desperately hoping each one's the last

How many more will you close behind you

Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast

 

How many fools will you have to follow

How many wayward winds

How many sins will you have to swallow

Until the truth sinks in

 

That you've been

Wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Wishing on the moon tonight

You're wishing on the moon

 

How many eyes will you search in sorrow

Seeking to borrow some sight of your own

How many lies will you have to suffer

Until you discover there's nobody home

 

How many roads will you have to wander

How many dead end-streets

How many dreams will you finally squander

Dodging your own defeats

 

You're wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Just wishing on the moon tonight

 

You're wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Just wishing on the moon tonight

 

Wishing on the moon

You're just, just, just wishing

"Lonely Bird" - Jeff Carl

 

Let’s just sit here, you and me

Nothing can go wrong

Though strangers we may be

We sing the same song

 

The wind is beautiful

It beckons a flight

But time is critical

It beckons the fight

 

[CHORUS:]

Hello lonely bird, finding your way

Loss of vision, hard decisions along the way

Hello lonely bird, what do you say

Make a nest, sit alone, or fly away

Make a nest

Sit alone

 

Stormy clouds give way to rain

The right path seems to fade

They fear just what we’d gain

If we chose to forbade

 

The chains that hold us down

The world to explore

Is simply what we’ve found

Needed to restore our sound

 

[CHORUS]

 

Nothing can go wrong

Nothing can go wrong

They keep saying

Nothing can go wrong

I know nothing can go wrong

 

But this could be so much better

So much better

So much better

So much better

 

Hello lonely bird, finding your way

Make a nest, sit alone, or fly away

Make a nest

Sit alone

Or fly away

"Obstacles" - Syd Matters

 

Let's send sunshine on for everyone

But as far as I can remember

We've been migratory animals

Living under changing weather

 

Someday we will foresee obstacles

Through the blizzard

Through the blizzard

 

Today we will sell our uniform

Live together

Live together

 

We played hide and seek in waterfalls

We were younger

We were younger

(x4)

 

Someday we will foresee obstacles

Through the blizzard

Through the blizzard

"I Am Here" - P!nk

 

I open up my heart

You can love me or not

There's no such thing as sin

Let it all come right in

 

I wanna make some mistakes

I wanna sleep in the mud

I wanna swim in the flood

I wanna ** till I'm done

 

I like whiskey on ice

I like sun in my eyes

I wanna burn it all down

So let's start a fire

 

I wanna be lost

So lost that I'm found

Naked and laughting

With my blood on the ground

 

[PRE-CHORUS:]

I am here, I am here

I've already seen the bottom

So there's nothing to fear

I know that I'll be ready

When the devil is near

Cause I am here, I am here

All of this wrong

But I'm still right here

I don't have the answers

But the question is clear

 

[CHORUS:]

Let me ask you

Where does everybody go when they go

Where does everybody go when they go

Where does everybody go when they go

(x2)

 

May the light be upon me

May I feel in my bones

That I am enough

I can make anywhere home

 

My fingers are clenched

My stomach's in knots

My heart it is racing but afraid I am not

Afraid I am not

 

[PRE-CHORUS]

 

[CHORUS]

 

I can think of one thousand places

Much worse than this :-\

 

I've already seen the bottom

So there's nothing to fear

I know that I'll be ready

When the devil is near

Cause I am here, I am here

All of this wrong

But I'm still right here

I don't have the answers

But the question is clear

 

Let me ask you

Where does everybody go when they go

Where does everybody go when they go

Where does everybody go when they go

Let me ask you

(x2)

"My Kindred Spirit"

Hanne Boel

 

http://feeblingee.f.e.pic.centerblog.net/7721889b.gif

 

My friend, lift up your eyes

The light is strong

Darkness is broken

By the power of this bond

 

Bird of peace

Fly down out of the sun

And settle in our hearts

For we are one

 

You are my kindred spirit

The light in your soul is always with me

And we'll hold each other under angel wings

Shelter one another under angel wings

 

This perfect union

Cannot grow old

Where our hands have touched

A lovely flower grows

 

One simple act of faith

One promise made forever

To never walk alone

But walk together

You are my kindred spirit

The light in your soul will always shine on me

You are my kindred spirit

And we'll hold each other under angel wings

Shelter one another under angel wings

 

So take this hand I offer

And call yourself my brother

We'll write down our names in red rock

And raise the spirit up

 

When the rain falls I'll answer your call

You can put your trust in me

When you cry to the moon I'll be beside you

And give you all the strength you need

 

I'll give you hope and carry you home

It never ends

This is for life

The love of a friend will never die

 

You are my kindred spirit

Let the light of my soul come in

The light in your soul will always shine on me

You are my kindred spirit

 

Oh, it never ends

This is for life

The love of a friend will never die

 

You are my kindred spirit

When the rain falls I'll answer your call

The light in your soul will always shine on me

You are my kindred spirit

 

It never ends

This is for life

The love of a friend will never die

"Out of Sand" - Eddie Vedder

 

Can't climb to heaven on the cross

One liar's, one liar's promise

Drained the blood from my heart

Came a message in the dark

Offered the hand of a disembodied man

While I still had the chance

 

[CHORUS:]

Now it's gone, gone

And I am who I am

Who I was I will never be again

Running out of sand

 

I stare at my reflection to the bone

Blurred eyes look back at me

Full of blame and sympathy

So, so close

With right roads not taken

The future's forsaken

And dropped like a fossil or stone

 

[CHORUS]

 

A drunk octopus wants to fight

Fearful of dreams

There'll be no sleep tonight

Fine at dinner, dead by dessert

Victim or witness, we're gonna get hurt

 

A fragile existence with echoes of wrath

I can't stop the bleeding

Or the tears from thine eye

There's another us around somewhere

With much better lives

Yes, God is our witness but he won’t testify

 

Oh now it's gone, gone

And I am who I am

Who I could have been

I'll never have the chance

Running out of sand

Running out of sand

Running out of sand

"Home" - Hollow Coves

 

It’s a wide ocean

And a tight emotion

And our homes are chosen

Yet still we’re all broken

 

It’s been a while now

Since that old town

Down by the water

Picking stones from the ground

 

Take me home

To the friends I’ve always known

Take me home

Back to the place where I belong

 

A distant coastline

White peaks inside

Washed away

With that ocean’s tide

 

Need to slow down

And look around

We're not that far

From that place we came

 

Take me home

To the friends I’ve always known

Take me home

Back to the place where I belong

"God Bless The Child" - Shania Twain

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah

God bless the child who suffers

Hallelujah, hallelujah

God bless the young without mothers

 

This child is homeless

That child's on crack

One plays with a gun

While the other takes the bullet in his back

 

This boy's a beggar

That girl sells her soul

They both work the same street

The same hell hole

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah

God bless the child who suffers

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Let every man help his brother

 

Some are born addicted

And some are just thrown away

And some have daddies

Who make them play games they don't want to play

 

But there's hope and faith

And we must understand

That all God's children need is love

And us to hold their little hands

 

This boy is hungry

He ain't got enough to eat

That girl's cold

And she ain't got no shoes on her feet

 

When a child's spirit is broken

And feels all hope is gone

God help them find

The strength to carry on

 

Cause with a little hope and faith

Yeah, we can understand

that All God's children need is love

And us to hold their little hands

 

With a little hope, just a little hope

Just a little faith, with a little love

Just a little love and understanding

I need love and understanding

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Let us all love one another

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Make all our hearts blind to color

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah

God bless the child who suffers

"Fly" - Elley Duhé

 

Our mood's been so indigo

Life hits hard

Tired of singing all these blues

Time to break out

 

Storms in our heart these days

We wanna break through the clouds

Feel the sun on our face

Let me take you away right now where we can

 

[CHORUS:]

Free ourselves of the pain

Got wings to carry us away

No more running

Oh, Baby, no more hurting

Free ourselves of the pain

Got wings to carry us away

No more running

Oh, Baby, no more hurting

 

You and I were meant to fly

You and I fly

You and I fly

You and I fly

You and I were meant to fly

 

Eyes to the skies

With our heads held high

Time to sing a different song

Cause we’re turning the tides

 

And the storms are in our heart these days

We gotta break gotta break through the clouds

And feel that sun on our face again

Let me take you right now we can

 

[CHORUS]

 

You and I were meant to fly

You and I fly

You and I fly

You and I fly

You and I were meant to

 

Free ourselves of the pain

Got wings to carry us away

No more running

Oh, Baby, no more hurting

Free ourselves of the pain

Got wings to carry us away

No more running

Oh, Baby, no more hurting

 

You and I were meant to fly
