"Inside Out" - Traveling Wilburys

https://youtu.be/YPAwrtm-JK8

 

Look out your window

That grass ain't green

It's kinda yellow

See what I mean

 

Look up your chimney

The sky ain't blue

It's kinda yellow

You know it's true

 

It's so hard to figure what it's all about

 

[CHORUS:]

When your outside's in

Inside out

And your downside's up

Upside down

Yeah, your upside's right

Right-side up

Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout

When you're inside out

 

Look down your drain pipe

What color do you see

It's got to be yellow

Don't try to fool me

 

And don't it make you wanna twist and shout

 

[CHORUS:]

 

Be careful where you're walking

You might step in something rough

Be careful when you're talking

And saying all that stuff

 

Take care when you are breathing

Something's funny in the air

There's some things they're not saying

About what's happening out there

It's inside out

 

Look into the future

With your mystic crystal ball

See if it ain't yellow

See if it's there at all

 

Ain't no shadow of a doubt

Don't it make you wanna twist and shout

It's so hard to figure what it's all about

 

When your outside's in

Inside out

And your downside's up

Upside down

Yeah, your upside's right

Right-side up

Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout

When you're inside out

"Crystal Ball" - Styx

 

I used to like to walk

The straight and narrow line

I used to think that everything was fine

Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze

For days through sleepless dreams

All alone and trapped in time

All alone and trapped in time

 

I wonder what tomorrow

Has in mind for me

Or am I even in its mind at all

Perhaps I'll get a chance

To look ahead and see

Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

 

But tell me, tell me where I'm going

I don't know where I've been

Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me

And then tell me again

My heart is breaking

My body's aching

And I don't know where to go

Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me

I've just got to know

 

Crystal ball

There's so many things I need to know

Crystal ball

There's so many things I've got to know

Crystal ball

Won't you tell me please before I go

Crystal ball

"Blowin' in the Wind"

 

Peter, Paul & Mary

https://youtu.be/EBwqV0QU0i8

 

Bob Dylan

https://youtu.be/3l4nVByCL44

 

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand

How many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned

 

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

How many years must a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free

How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend he just doesn't see

 

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

 

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

How many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died

 

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

[[...]]

"The Window" - Leonard Cohen

 

Now why do you stand by the window

Abandoned to beauty and pride

The thorn of the night in your bosom

The spear of the age in your side

Lost in the rages of fragrance

Lost in the rags of remorse

Lost in the waves of a sickness

That loosens the high silver nerves

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh chosen love

Oh frozen love

Oh tangle of matter and ghost

Oh darling of angels

Demons and saints

And the whole brokenhearted host

Gentle this soul

 

And come forth from your cloud of unknowing

And kiss the cheek of the moon

The New Jerusalem glowing

Why tarry all night in this ruin

And leave no word of discomfort

Oh leave no observer to mourn

But climb on your tears and be silent

Like the rose on its ladder of thorns

 

[CHORUS]

 

Then lay your rose on the fire

The fire give up to the sun

The sun give over to splendor

In the arms of the high holy one

For the holy one dreams of a letter

Dreams of a letter's death

Bless thee continuous stutter

Of the word being made into flesh

 

Oh chosen love

Oh frozen love

Oh tangle of matter and ghost

Oh darling of angels

Demons and saints

And the whole brokenhearted host

Gentle this soul

Gentle this soul

"Window to the World" - Shawn Colvin

 

Neon flickers with a pale glow

And all the shadows that come and go

Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry

In my lonely room with a view

I can't sleep and so I think of you

And watch the world as it passes by

 

I can't close my eyes

I can't close my eyes

 

This is my window to the world

All of the lonely boys and girls

Are a reflection in my eyes

Of me and you

This is my window to it all

I see the heroes rise and fall

This is my window to the world

And I can see

 

As the night turns into day

Old ladies shuffle by and wave

And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise

Young lovers walk across my street

Oblivious to the refugees

And the lonely lost

Baby, that's me and you

 

I can't close my eyes

I can't close my eyes

 

This is my window to the world

All of the lonely boys and girls

Are a reflection in my eyes

Of me and you

This is my window to it all

I see the heroes rise and fall

This is my window to the world

And I can see

 

I can't close my eyes

I can't close my eyes

"Break Free" - Like A Storm

 

Help me

I've fallen further in myself

I'm stuck here again

And I can't see

That I'm not digging my way out

I'm digging my grave

 

I've become my own demise

Paralyzed inside my mind

Arms are weak from holding up this front

No escape and no surprises

Complicated compromises hold me down

When what all I really want

 

[CHORUS]

Break free, break free, break free

From everything

Break free

Before it breaks me

There's got to be another way

To start again

 

Tell me

How you can be the brightest star

And light up the sky

When I can't seem

To even light up my own way

And I'm burned out from trying

 

I've become what I despise

Paralyzed inside a lie

Arms are weak from holding back the flood

Sinking as the waters rise

Drink myself to sleep each night

I'm going under

And all I really want

Is just to

 

[CHORUS]

 

I'm going under

And all I really want

Is just to break free

Break free

Before it breaks me

There's got to be another way

To start again

Start again

Start again

 

There's got be another way

 

Start again, start again

Start again

Start again

"We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

 

The Animals

 

Denmark + Winter

 

In this dirty old part of the city

When the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in trying

 

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

 

Watch my daddy in bed and dying

Watch his hair been turning grey

He's been working and slaving his life away

Oh yes I know it

 

He's been working so hard

I've been working too, Baby

Every night and day

 

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

 

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

 

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Somewhere, Baby

Somehow I know it

 

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Believe me, Baby

I know it, Baby

You know it too

"The Cure For Pain" - Jon Foreman

 

I'm not sure why it always goes downhill

Why broken cisterns never could stay filled

I've spent ten years sending gravity away

But the water keeps on falling from the sky

 

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out

With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt

I've spent ten years trying to send these doubts away

But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

 

And heaven knows, heaven knows

I tried to find a cure for the pain

Oh my Lord

To suffer like you do

It would be a lie to run away

 

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins

We're either riders or fools behind the reins

I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away

But the water keeps on falling from my tries

 

And heaven knows, heaven knows

I tried to find a cure for the pain

Oh my Lord

To suffer like you do

It would be a lie to run away

A lie to run

It would be a lie

It would be a lie to run away

 

It keeps on falling, it keeps on falling

It keeps on falling, it keeps on falling

The water keeps on falling from my eyes

 

And heaven knows, heaven knows

I tried to find a cure for the pain

Oh my Lord

To suffer like you do

It would be a lie to run away

 

It would be a lie to run away

It would be a lie to run away

"When The Swallows Fly" - Bee Gees

https://youtu.be/mCI2esSDQtw

 

I wander lonely as a cloud

I keep my head above the crowd

Ain't nobody else as big as me

But I must remember, friends

What has to start just has to end

Everybody's got a destiny

 

And I know

When the swallow flies

Yes I know

And the earth just dies

Then I'll be told what I am

The swallow and me

 

I'll look after number one

I'll forget the beggar's son

Everybody's got to stay alive

I'll keep on walking amongst the clouds

I'll keep my head above the crowds

I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die

 

And I know

When the swallow flies

Yes I know

And the earth just dies

Then I'll be told what I am

The swallow and me

"The Bridge" - Kelly Sweet

 

 

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/07/02/article-2353805-1AA0364B000005DC-150_634x426.jpg

 

 

Between our hearts

We built a bridge

Of wood and nail

The wood is worn

But solid still

And it'll hold us well

 

I come across

When waters rise

And I'm afraid I'll drown

And you are warm

On the other side

You never let me down

 

So I won't let go

If you stay here with me

I won't let you wash away

Stay here with me

 

On the bridge

We watch the waves

As the world decides

Who will go

And who will stay

This is the great divide

 

But I won't let go

If you stay here with me

I won't let you wash away

Stay here with me

 

You caught my tears

Inside a glass

And you left it on the bridge

Just in case I ever ask

How would you know

What I'm feeling

 

For every tear

Inside the glass

Sitting quiet on the bridge

You had cried one more to match

Like the sky reflects the ocean

The sky reflects the ocean

 

So I won't let go

If you stay here with me

I won't let you wash away

Stay here with me

 

I won't let go

If you stay here with me

I won't let you wash away

Stay here with me

 

Here with me, here with me, here with me

Stay here with me

"Breakdown" - The Alan Parsons Project

 

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread

No one can understand a word that I say

When I breakdown just a little and lose my head

Nothing I try to do can work the same way

 

Any time it happened, I'd get over it

With a little help from all my friends

Anybody else could see what's wrong with me

But they walk away and just pretend

 

When I breakdown

 

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread

No one can understand a word that I say

When I breakdown just a little and lose my head

Nothing I try to do can work the same way

 

Where are all the friends who used to talk to me

All they ever told me was good news

People that I've never seen are kind to me

Is it any wonder I'm confused

 

When I breakdown

When I breakdown

 

Freedom, freedom

We will not obey

Freedom, freedom

Take the wall away

Where are all my friends

I'm so confused

Take the wall away

Excellent choice. Fitting, isn't it? 

[[...]]

Excellent choice. Fitting, isn't it? 

 

I know, some lyrics are just spot on, from beginning to end, they nail the experience!

"Leave the Day" - Blutengel

 

This is the night

Where all your dreams come true

I'll catch your life

I'll paralyze your soul

 

Show me your fear

It's time to break the chains

Turn off the light

Salvation comes to you this night

 

[CHORUS:]

And you're hiding in the darkness

Spread your arms and try to fly

But the pain you feel is stronger

You're too weak to touch the sky

 

And the tears that you are crying

Is the price you have to pay

We will guide you through the shadows

Take our hands, we'll leave the day

 

Regret your sins

With every breath you take

You try to run

But I will hold you back

 

You lost your way

With every step you make

And all your fears

Growing every second you will stay

 

Feel the pain inside your heart

Your crystal teardrops fade to black

 

[CHORUS]

 

Try to fly

Try to fly

 

And you're hiding in the darkness

Spread your arms and try to fly

But the pain you feel is stronger

You're too weak to touch the sky

 

And the tears that you are crying

Is the price you have to pay

We will guide you through the shadows

Take our hands, we'll leave the day

 

Try to fly

Try to fly

"Drifting Further Away" - Powderfinger

 

Don't go too deep

Into the flood

Don't stare too long

You'll poison my love

Don't shut me out

Don't hold it all in

Don't let my venom

Get under your skin

 

[CHORUS:]

Cause every word

And every turn

And every sign

Points to your hurt

With every hour

You're drifting further away

 

Come make your peace

Come find your way

Come lay your wreath

At the altar of change

Don't lose your step

Don't break the bones

Don't shoulder your burden

Out there on your own

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't banish me then bid me home

Don't tell me where I came undone

Don't harbor love like it's all your own

Don't linger over what you've done

Don't sink underneath the weight

When you're trying to carry way too much

 

You never should have let go

You could have joined the whole show

You never should have let go

You never should have let go

 

Cause every word

And every turn

And every sign

Points to your hurt

With every hour

You're drifting further away

 

Now you're drifting further away

You're drifting further away

You're drifting further away

"Physical Pain" - Joan Armatrading

It's a physical pain

My head just aches

I'm feeling raw, crucified

I don't feel great  :'(

 

I'm gonna lick my wounds

Hide my crying eyes

It's my own fault

I told you lies

 

No touch sensation

No palpitations

Don't lick my lips

In anticipation

 

I'm traumatized

And I feel confined

I seem so unsettled

I don't feel alive

 

I'm gonna lick my wounds

Hide my crying eyes

It's my own fault

I told you lies

 

No excitations

No good vibrations

Just a physical pain

Just a physical pain  :'(

 

Will I ever get to see you darling

This broken friendship

Means my broken heart

Are we ever gonna get together

Will I ever see your smiling face again

I can't wait

 

There's too much space

These empty rooms

Time on my hands

 

I'm gonna lick my wounds

Hide my crying eyes

It's my own fault

I told you lies

 

No excitations

No good vibrations

It's solitaire

 

I feel lost

I feel alone

With no desire

I feel numb

"Stones" - Neil Diamond

 

Stones would play

Inside her head

And where she slept

They made her bed

 

And she would ache for love

And get but stones

 

Lordy, child

A good day's coming

And I'll be there

To let the sun in

 

And being lost

Is worth the coming home

On stones

 

You and me

A time for planting

You and me

A harvest granting

The every prayer ever prayed

 

For just two wild flowers

That grow

On stones

"Crawl (Carry Me Through)"

Superchick

 

 

 

 

How long will this take

How much can I go through

My heart, my soul, aches

I don't know what to do

I bend but don't break

And somehow I'll get through

Cause I have you

 

[CHORUS:]

And if I had to crawl

Well, you'd crawl too

I stumble and I fall

Carry me through

The wonder of it all is

You see me through

 

Oh Lord, where are you

Do not forget me here

I cry in silence

Can you not see my tears

 

When all have left me

And hope has disappeared

You find me here

 

[CHORUS]

 

When everything I was is lost

I have forgot but you have not

When I am lost

You have not lost me

 

You have not lost me

 

And if I had to crawl

Well, you'd crawl too

I stumble and I fall

Carry me through

The wonder of it all is

You see me through

"Acoustic #3"

 

The Goo Goo Dolls

 

 

 

 

"Acoustic #3"

 

They painted up your secrets

With the lies they told to you

And the least they ever gave you

Was the most you ever knew

 

And I wonder where these dreams go

When the world gets in your way

What's the point in all this screaming?

No one's listening anyway

 

Your voice is small and fading

And you're hiding here alone

And your mother loves your father

Cuz she's got nowhere to go

 

And she wonders where these dreams go

Cuz the world got in her way

What's the point in ever trying?

Nothing's changing anyway

 

They press their lips against you

And you love the lies they say

And I tried so hard to reach you

But you're falling anyway

 

And you know I see right through you

Cuz the world gets in your way

What's the point in all this screaming?

You're not listening anyway

" Ride Like The Wind"

 

Christopher Cross

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x1FRz6mcJyI&autoplay=1

 

 

"Ride Like The Wind"

 

It is the night

My body's weak

I'm on the run

No time to sleep

I've got to ride

Ride like the wind

To be free again

 

And I've got such a long way to go

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

 

I was born the son of a lawless man

Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand

Lived nine lives

Gunned down ten

Gonna ride like the wind

 

And I've got such a long way to go

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

 

Accused and tried and told to hang

I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang

Never was the kind to do as I was told

Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

 

It is the night

My body's weak

I'm on the run

No time to sleep

I've got to ride

Ride like the wind

To be free again

 

And I've got such a long way to go

To make it to the border of Mexico

So I'll ride like the wind

Ride like the wind

"Lately"

 

Lera Lynn

 

 

 

 

"Lately"

 

Lately I'm not feeling like myself

When I look into the glass, I see someone else

I hardly recognize this face I wear

When I stare into her eyes, I see no one there

Lately I'm not feeling like myself

 

Lately I've been losing all my time

All that mattered to me slipped my mind

Everytime I hit another town, strangers appear to lock me down

Lately I've been losing all my time

 

The mystery that no one knows

Where does love go when it goes?

 

Lately words are missing from now on

Vanished in the haze of love gone wrong

There's no future, there's no past

In the present, nothing lasts

Lately someone's missing from now on

 

The mystery that no one knows

Where does love go when it goes?

The mystery that no one knows

Where does love go when it goes?

"Naked" - Goo Goo Dolls

https://youtu.be/Ya1O1AUCFcs

 

Yeah I'm fading

And I call out

No one hears me

Never been, never felt

Never thought I'd say a word

 

Weighed down

Safe now

 

[CHORUS:]

You're naked inside your fear

You can't take back all those years

And shots in the dark from empty guns

Are never heard by anyone

Never heard by anyone

 

Yeah I'm hiding

In the fallout

Now I'm wasted

They don't need me

Don't want me

Don't hear a word I say

 

Weighed down

Safe now

 

[CHORUS]

 

Inside your head

No one's there

And I don't think

I'll ever be

And I don't care

 

You're naked inside your fear

You can't take back all those years

And shots in the dark from empty guns

Are never heard by anyone

Never heard by anyone

By anyone

By anyone

"It Pulls Me Under" -Butterfly Boucher

 

How does it happen

The ship is a wreck

The skies have opened

And delivered a mess

 

[CHORUS:]

What do we do when we're out of control

My hands are worn, my heart is torn

Here comes another

It pulls me under

Here comes another

Don't pull me under

 

My heart is waiting

To figure it out

Throw me something

Help me turn it around

 

[CHORUS]

 

I won't stay here

Suspended forever

I must be on my way

I won't stay here

Helpless forever

I must be on my way

 

Here comes another

It pulls me under

Here comes another

Here comes another

Here comes another

 

We stand, we stand

We cant stand to fall down

"Cure for Pain" - Morphine

 

Where is the ritual

And tell me where, where is the taste

Where is the sacrifice

And tell me where, where is the faith

 

Someday there'll be a cure for pain

That's the day I throw my drugs away

When they find a cure for pain

 

Where is the cave

Where the wise woman went

And tell me where

Where's all that money that I spent

 

I propose a toast

To my self control

You see it crawling helpless on the floor

 

Someday there'll be a cure for pain

That's the day I throw my drugs away

When they find a cure for pain

Find a cure for

Find a cure for pain

"Learning To Fly"

 

Tom Petty

 

Bonnie Tyler

 

Well it started out

Down a dirty road

Started out

All alone

 

And the sun went down

As I crossed the hill

And the town lit up

The world got still

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

 

Well the good old days

May not return

And the rocks might melt

And the sea may burn

 

[CHORUS]

 

Well some say life

Will beat you down

And break your heart

Steal your crown

 

So it started out

For God-knows-where

I guess I'll know

When I get there

 

I'm learning to fly

Around the clouds

What goes up

Must come down

 

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

 

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to fly
