"Do Not Resuscitate" - Tall Heights

 

The furnace needs fixing

The fire inside fades

And you know more than all

Without a crispy fall

Winter has its way with me

 

At dead dry leaves I'm shouting

And dead dry limbs I'm counting out

The furnace needs fixing

And I'm left all alone

 

[CHORUS:]

Fall away

These winds will suffocate me

Fall away

And frost will freeze my bones

Fall away

This winter's gonna break me

Do not resuscitate me

 

Well, all of these hollows

And all these things I've claimed

And all of these swallows

And the gables they vacate

 

They're dead daydreams I vomit

And dead dry names I often call myself

The furnace is sickness

It never had a face

Not me, not me, no

 

[CHORUS]

 

Although my friends have gone

Looking right through you

I woke up this morning

I pulled back the blinds

I drew the figure

I traced the smokey lines

 

How quickly they've faded

My signal has died

How quickly they faded

 

The only way

These winds will suffocate me

Only way

This frost will freeze

Frost will freeze my bones

Only way

This winter's gonna break me

If you don't resuscitate me

 

Will you resuscitate me from this cold

Save me from this cold

Save me from this cold

 

All of the shadows

All of the signs

All of the shadows

All of the signs

"She's Got Her Ticket" - Tracy Chapman

 

She's got her ticket

I think she gonna use it

I think she going to fly away

No one should try and stop her

Persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made up

(x2)

 

Why not leave

Why not go away

Too much hatred

Corruption and greed

Give your life

And invariably they leave you

With nothing

 

Young girl ain't got no chances

No roots to keep her strong

She's shed all pretenses

That someday she'll belong

 

Some folks call her a runaway

A failure in the race

But she knows where her ticket takes her

She will find her place in the sun

 

Why not leave

Why not go away

Too much hatred

Corruption and greed

Give your life

And invariably they leave you

With nothing

 

She's got her ticket

I think she gonna use it

I think she going to fly away

No one should try and stop her

Persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made up

 

And she'll fly

Fly, fly, fly

Fly, fly, fly

Fly, fly

 

She gonna fly away

Oh, she got her ticket

Oh, she gonna fly away

Oh, she gonna fly away

 

She gonna fly, fly, fly

Fly, fly

Fly

"We are Only Getting Better"

Joshua Radin

 

Say we'll run away

When things get better

Better than today

Blind leading blind

Never knowing what we'll find

Where are we going

Who are we now

Let's decide

 

[CHORUS:]

This time you've got to make up your mind

This life you're living

This time you've got to make up your mind

This life's worth living

Get up, we've got a way's to go

We are only getting better

Where we were then doesn't matter

 

Lately everything is hazy

But I know what's true

Lately everyone seems crazy

But I believe in you

 

Sun shines in the eyes

Of those who know how

To leave the past behind

 

[CHORUS]

 

But lately everything seems hazy

But I know what's true

Lately everyone seems crazy

But I believe in you

 

This time you've got to make up your mind

This life's worth living

Get up, we've got a way's to go

We are only getting better

Where we were then doesn't matter

 

Lately everything seems hazy

But I know what's true

Lately everyone seems crazy

But I believe in you

"Under Stars" - Amy Macdonald

 

PandasPlaying.jpg

 

In life you've got to find your feet

In life you've got to dare to dream

Don't worry I still love you

You'll still feel it even when we're miles apart

You're living under stars and stripes

 

In life you've got to spread your wings

Don't worry about the little things

Keep fighting, keep trying

Will be here waiting on the other side

Underneath the stars and stripes

 

This is your song go write it

Be who you are, don't hide it

You've come so far

Don't let it slip away

 

Under stars I'll be where you are

Just call, no matter how far

Under stars there's no end to this road

But on we go and still we roam

 

Hold my hand

We'll get there someday

Nothing's set in stone until the end

 

This place is going to set you free

My love's the only love you'll need

Do you feel it like I feel it

Cause I'll travel half the world tonight

I'll find you under stars and stripes

 

This is your song so write it

Be who you are, don't hide it

You've come so far

Don't let it slip away

 

Under stars I'll be where you are

Just call, no matter how far

Under stars there's no end to this road

But on we go and still we roam

(x2)

 

On we go

On we go

 

Hold my hand

We'll get there someday

Nothing's set in stone until the end

Nothing's set in stone until the end

Lone Justice - Ways to be Wicked

Trembling Blue Star - The Sea is So Quiet

 

 

The loneliness of a single light in the distance

Everything bathed in blue

The sea and the night, and a heart that just might break in two

The North Sea meets the Atlantic

Lucky seashells, mermaid's purses

The sea and the night, and a heart that just might, face a little crisis

 

Don't let this spell be broken. This is nothing less than perfection

Don't let this haunting stillness lift

It's enough to make you believe

Enough to make you believe

everything's alright with the world tonight,

it's a place of good deeds

A place of good deeds

 

There's no betrayal of any sign of violence, but a small boat could get swallowed

And the music that this seascape makes could be blown away

The music that this seascape makes could be blown away

 

Don't let this spell be broken. This is nothing less than perfection

Don't let this haunting stillness lift

It's enough to make you believe

Enough to make you believe

everything's alright with the world tonight,

it's a place of good deeds

A place of good deeds

” Keep”

Sharon Van Etten

 

 

"Keep"

 

Keep still so I can find you at your whim.

Breathe slowly so I can breathe with you.

Ooh... ooh...

 

Leave me alone,

We all want to feel at home.

Find me sleeping,

My inner dialogue's a drone.

Keep...

 

Don't cry for me,

I can't either.

I can't weep.

Remember these moments,

They're all we have

And all I can keep.

Caught in a lie I want

You to keep me to yourself.

 

Keep running deep under my skin I want to shed.

Don't keep it in keep it on the thinnest of all threads-

And I want to break you no no...

Ooh...

” Second Guess”

You + Me

 

 

"Second Guess"

 

Ain't got no reason but I've got rhymes

I've spent too much of what I've earned just trying to feel alive

I wish I could rewrite the stories of the past

But you can't go back and change what's done and start over where you began

 

I don't know where to go from here now

Something still lingers though, it's weighing me down

I know the sun will shine again

Back and forth it seems we'll remain until the end

 

One step too many, time after time

Fucking up 'round every turn, sick of how I'm feeling inside

 

I don't know where to go from here now

Something still lingers though, it's weighing me down

I know the sun will shine again

Back and forth it seems we'll remain until the end

 

Back and forth until the end

Why must everything be a second guess?

Back and forth until the end

Why must everything be a second guess?

 

I don't know where to go from here now

Something still lingers though, it's weighing me down

I know the sun will shine again

Back and forth it seems we'll remain until the end

” Coming Up For Air”

Frances

 

 

"Coming Up For Air"

 

How much time will go by

Until I'm seen floating by

Solded memories in dead pals

Lay behind me for miles

 

On and on

On and on

 

I'm coming up for air

Won't you come and safe me from the love you put me through

I'm coming up for air

If the light in my eyes has turned to red and back to blue

 

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

 

Fill the night with your cry

Until your hurt floating by

Throw your heart up to your headline

See your dry hand touch mine

 

I'm coming up for air

Won't you come and safe me from the love you put me through

I'm coming up for air

If the light in my eyes has turned to red and back to blue

 

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

 

I'm coming up for air

Won't you come and safe me from the love you put me through

” You”

Keaton Henson

 

 

"You"

 

If you must wait

Wait for them here in my arms as I shake

If you must weep

Do it right here in my bed as I sleep

If you must mourn, my love

Mourn with the moon and the stars up above

If you must mourn

Don't do it alone

 

If you must leave

Leave as though fire burns under your feet

If you must speak

Speak every word as though it were unique

If you must die, sweetheart

Die knowing your life was my life's best part

If you must die

Remember your life

 

You are

You are

Oh, you are

You are

Oh

 

If you must fight

Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night

If you must work

Work to leave some part of you on this earth

If you must live, darling one

 

Just live

Just live

Just live

 

❤️❤️❤️

This Is Your World - Bob Ross

 

 

I believe, I believe

Everyday's a good day when you paint

I believe, I believe

It'll bring a lot of good thoughts to your heart

 

Let's build a happy little cloud

Let's build some happy little trees

There are no limits here

You start off by believing here

 

You can almost paint with anything

All you have to do is practice

There are no limits here

You start off by believing here

 

This is your world, you're the creator

Paint freedom on this canvas

Believe that you can do it

'Cause you can do it

 

Give it a little touch

Give it a little push

Make love to the canvas

 

Give it a little touch

Give it a little push

Caress it, very gently

 

Grab it, lift it, fluff it

You can go on and on

Back and forth, layer after layer after layer

 

Relax, let it flow

Think like water

Relax, let it flow

You can go on and on and on

 

We don't make mistakes

We just have happy accidents

You can do anything that you want to do

Total power

 

Sing along, have a good time...

” Try A Little Tenderness”

Florence

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

 

 

Beautiful set, MBB.

Here, I added the lyrics for you.

Gorgeous.  :'(

 

:-* :-* :-*

 

"Try a Little Tenderness" - Florence + The Machine

 

Oh she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness

 

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

The thing that she'll never, never, possess

But while she's there waiting

Try a little tenderness

 

It's not sentimental, no, no, no

She has her griefs and cares

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle

Makes it easier to bear

 

You wont regret it

No, young girls they don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try

All you gotta do is squeeze her

Don't tease her

Never leave her

Try a little tenderness

 

Don't leave her, no, no

Try a little tenderness

"Drown"

 

Seafret

 

Bring Me the Horizon

https://youtu.be/UGOjkvRRNwI

 

What doesn't kill you

Makes you wish you were dead

Got a hole in my soul

Growing deeper and deeper

 

And I can't take

One more moment of this silence

The loneliness is killing me

And the weight of the world

Is getting harder to hold up, hold up, hold up

 

It comes in waves

I close my eyes, hold my breath

And let it bury me

I'm not okay and it's not alright

Won't you dredge the lake

And bring me home again, home again

 

Who will fix me now

Dive in when I drown

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

Who will make me fight

Drag me out alive

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

 

What doesn't destroy you

Leaves you broken instead

Got a hole in my soul

Growing deeper and deeper

 

And I can't take

One more moment of this silence

The loneliness is killing me

And the weight of the world

Is getting harder to hold up, hold up, hold up

 

It comes in waves

I close my eyes, hold my breath

And let it bury me

I'm not okay and it's not alright

Won't you dredge the lake

And bring me home again, home again

 

Who will fix me now

Dive in when I drown

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

Who will make me fight

Drag me out alive

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

 

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

 

Who will fix me now

Who will fix me now

 

Who will fix me now

Dive in when I drown

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

"Wings of an Angel" - Def Leppard

 

Faces on the ceiling

Writing's on the wall

No one to believe in

And nowhere left to fall

 

The road ahead gets longer

Like a land from outer space

I can't get much stronger

Lost without a trace

 

[CHORUS:]

Desolation is all I see

Liberation is what I need

Desperation is following me

If only I could feel like I'm gonna be

Touched by the wings of an angel

Touched by the wings of an angel

Gabriel, lay your hands on me

 

And now the voice of reason

Has nothing left to say

There's rebels in the kingdom

As heaven looks away

 

If only you could hear me

If you could see the darkness fall

But your spirit walks right through me

Like a shadow on my soul

 

[CHORUS]

 

Desolation is all I see

Liberation is what I need

Desperation is following me

Touch me, touch me, please

 

Oh, I wanna be

Touched by the wings of an angel

Touched by the wings of an angel

Gabriel, lay your hands on me

 

Touched by the wings of an angel

Touched by the wings of an angel

Gabriel, lay your hands on me

"Head Underwater" - Jenny Lewis

 

I been wearing all black since the day it started

When I stopped and looked back as my mind departed

I been losing sleep and I cannot sit still

I'm not the same woman that you were used to

 

I put my head underwater, baby

I threw my clothes away in the trash

I stood barefoot on the blazing concrete

I was waiting for the gut of the thunder to crash

 

I don't wanna bore you with how I feel

But when the walls came down, the sh*t got real

I never thought I would ever be here

Looking out on my life as if there was no there, there

 

I messed around with something I always hated

I took a blanket into the bath

Opened my eyes and hallucinated

I took a nap and woke up in the grass

 

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

 

My own mortality I contemplated

Down in the valley I got hypnotized

It left a mark that hasn't faded

That's when I realized

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of sand left in the hourglass

There's a little bit of magic

Everybody has it

There's a little bit of fight left in me yet

 

I put my head underwater, baby

I held my breath until it passed

Crossed my fingers and concentrated

I closed my eyes and I was free at last

"Flesh and Bone" - The Killers

 

I've gone through life white-knuckled

In the moments that left me behind

Refusing to heed the yield

I penetrate the force fields in the blind

 

They say I'll adjust

God knows I must but I'm not sure how

This natural selection picked me out to be

A dark horse running in a fantasy

 

Flesh and bone

And I'm running out of time

Flesh and bone

 

Somewhere outside that finish line

I square up and break through the chains

And I hit like a raging bull

Anointed by the blood, I take the reins

Cut from the cloth of a flag

That bears the name of "Battle Born"

 

And they'll call me the contender

They'll listen for the bell

With my face flashing crimson

From the fires of hell

 

What are you afraid of

And what are you made of

Flesh and bone

And I'm running out of time

Flesh and bone

And what are you made of

Flesh and bone

Man, I'm turning on a dime

Flesh and bone

 

This could decay like the valley below

Defenses are down, the stakes are high

(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)

The fairytale end

(To face off the journey that fathers no more)

The staggering blow

(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)

You lead with your chin

(Thinking with your corners, just a compass and the sun)

This could be real simple

 

And what are you made of

Flesh and bone

And I'm running out of time

Flesh and bone

What are you made of

 

He faces forward

Trading in his blindness for the glow of love

And time is raging, may it rage in vain

And you always had it but you never knew

So boots and saddles, get on your feet

There's no surrender cause there's no retreat

The bells are sobbing in this monster land

We are the descendants of giant men

Have I ever told you how much it meant

For all your kindness I am blessed

And I thought that you should know

How much you've helped me grow

 

And I wanna thank you

I wanna tell you this

That you've made me the happiest

Thank you

 

Have I ever shown you all my heart

For all I owe you where would I start

A lifetime to count the ways

Wouldn't be enough to say

I thought that you should know

How much you've helped me grow

 

And I wanna thank you

I wanna tell you this

For all of your selflessness

Thank you

 

I wanna say I love you

And if we never meet again

You should know you have changed my life

Just by being a friend

Could I ever repay you for all you've done

Out of all my blessings you're the greatest one

And I thought that you should know

How much you've helped me grow

That you've made me the happiest

Thank you

"Little Sparrow" - Leyla McCalla

 

Wake up, wake up, little sparrow

Don't make your home out in the snow

Don't make your home out in the snow

 

Little bird, oh, don't you know

Your friends flew south many months ago

Your friends flew south many months ago

 

You're just a baby, you cannot fly

Your wings won't spread against the sky

Your wings won't spread against the sky

 

Wake up, wake up, little sparrow

Don't make your home out in the snow

Don't make your home out in the snow

"Nowhere Fast" - Gary Moore

 

Frozen in time

Lost in space

Your life is moving

At a dead snail's pace

 

No momentum

Or trajectory for you

Still born treacle

That you're wading through

 

All the time wondering

If the future has passed

All the signs are saying

Nowhere fast

 

How did you get here

No one can say

Looking too hard

You can lose your way

 

Don't try to blame

Nobody else

There's only one person

Who can help yourself

 

All the time you know

That it just can't last

All the signs are saying

Nowhere fast

 

Dig a big hole

Sink in the rut

Stick in the mud

Till your senses shut

 

Concrete sand

Around your feet

Marching in circles

To the drudgy beat

 

All the time in the world

That's passed

And still you're going

Nowhere fast

 

Will you still remember

As you breathe your last

All the time you wasted going

Nowhere fast

 

Nowhere fast

 

:'(

"Keep Looking" - Sade

 

Some will tell you that you're wrong

You do it all the wrong way

Some will tell you that you're wrong

That you don't know the way

 

They enjoy cheapness

Don't show your weakness

Don't let them bother you, no

They enjoy the cheapness

Don't show your weakness, oh no

 

It's no use sitting down

Don't walk round with a frown

Oh no, keep looking

It's no use sitting around

With your head in your hands

Oh no, keep looking

 

Say, let my life alone

 

Some will tell you that you're wrong

You do it all the wrong way

Some will tell you that you're wrong

That you don't know the way

 

They enjoy cheapness

Don't show your weakness

Don't let them bother you, no

They enjoy the cheapness

Don't show your weakness, oh no

 

It's no use sitting down

Don't walk round with a frown

Oh no, keep looking

It's no use sitting around

With your head in your hands

Oh no, keep looking

 

Oh, keep looking

Oh, keep looking

 

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your worries

Thinking about your problems

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your worries

Keep looking

 

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your problems

Thinking about your troubles

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your problems

Keep looking

 

Keep looking

 

If you never let it show

They're never gonna know

Oh, keep looking

 

If you never let it show

They're never gonna know

Oh, keep looking

"Hope" - America

There's a clock timing the world as it turns

There's a man marking the candle as it burns

Keeping track of every minute that remains

 

Still we hope

Somehow it's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine

 

There's a light shining beyond the southern cross

Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost

More than faith more than a reason to go on

 

Rise on up

Knowing you're gonna win the fight

It's gonna turn out fine

 

You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope

It'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope

It'll be alright

Please

 

When the night turns to the deepest shade of black

At that point there is no reason to turn back

High above angels are falling from the sky

 

Lift your heart

Knowing it's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine

 

You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope

It'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope

It'll be alright

Please

 

You gotta hope

You're gonna win the fight

Come on and hope

With all your might

Yeah, hope

It's gonna be alright

Please

 

Millions of people alone in the dark

Awaiting a moment of hope

 

Please

 

You gotta hope

Whenever times get tough

It'll be alright

Come on and hope

And when the road is rough

It'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope

Just when you've had enough

It'll be alright

Please

 

You gotta hope

Whenever times get tough

You're gonna win the fight

Come on and hope

And when the road is rough

With all your might

Yeah, hope

Just when you've had enough

It's gonna be alright

Please

 

You gotta hope

Whenever times get tough

It'll be alright

Come on and hope

And when the road is rough

It'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope

Just when you've had enough

It'll be alright

Please

 

You gotta hope

You're gonna win the fight
