"Some People's Lives" - Janis Ian

 

Some people's lives run down like clocks

One day they stop and that's all they've got

Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes

No one can use

It's sad but it's true

 

Didn't anybody tell them

Didn't anybody see

Didn't anybody love them

Like you love me

 

Some people's lives fade like their dreams

Too tired to rise, too tired to sleep

And some people laugh

When they need to cry

And they never know why

 

Didn't anybody tell them

That's not how it has to be

Didn't anybody love them

Like you love me

 

Some people ask if the tears have to fall

Then why take your chances, why bother at all

And some people's lives

Are as cold as their lips

They just need to be kissed

 

Doesn't anybody tell them

Doesn't anybody see

Doesn't anybody love them

Like you love me

Cause that's all they need

"Everybody Needs A Friend" - Wishbone Ash

Trust in me

I'll try to do

Everything to help you that I can

Broken wings can heal and mend again

Don't be afraid to cry your tears out loud

Everybody needs to have a friend

 

It's only love

That I can give

I give to you the only love I have

When I see you're in misery

It makes me want to try and understand

Everybody needs a helping hand

 

It's only love

That I can give

I give to you the only love I have

When I see you're so unhappy

It makes me want to try and understand

Everybody needs a helping hand

 

If everything

Should turn around

And it's me who feels so down and out

You could be the kind of company

To share a load and know how bad it feels

Everybody needs to have a friend

"Thunderstorm" - Matthew Sweet

 

Sun is gone

And I'm on my own in a thunderstorm

But it's not about to turn me around

Hail is under my feet

And lightning is in my head

Deep inside I am tired of running

I don't mind if the rain is coming

 

Walking onto the water

Where I was meant to be

Deep inside I am tired of running

I don't mind that the rain is coming

Deep inside I am tired of running

I don't mind that the rain is coming down

 

Lost my way into you

And I don't know what else to do

But wait for a calm in the storm

Hoping it subsides

And nothing is wrong when it rains

Even from my eyes

 

Broke your vision of love

As I saw through the sky above

And heaven was windy with change

Blowing through my time

And nothing is wrong when it rains

Even from my eyes

 

I wait for a calm in the storm

Hoping it subsides

And nothing is wrong when it rains

Even from my eyes

 

Yes I do

Believe the rain

And yes I do

Deceive it when I can

If I was running and I fell

If it's subsiding I can't tell

Looking at nature through a hole in the clouds

 

As you take a final bow

The earth creates

A dark and stormy now

But you must answer if it calls

Under the sky and when it falls

Looking at nature through a hole in clouds

 

Yes, I can't explain

Anyone's pain

If it isn't mine to know

Yes, I feel it too

No, I'm not you

Is that the way you feel

 

When the first light closes the night

And you feel unusually right

As sun streams in all around

Filling you up with desire

But I love you only to find

I can't have your heart inside mine

On the outside you run away

Having your day in sun

 

And you won't realize

After it's done

You're back where your dreams began

Before I became who I am

And before you were ever like this

Even though you came to me

Everything but what I see

Having my day in the sun

 

And will I find myself

After it's done

Suddenly realize

I'm back where my dreams began

 

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

Sun is gone and I'm on my own

In a thunderstorm

 

Deep inside I am tired of running

I don't mind that the rain is coming

Deep inside I am tired of running

I don't mind that the rain is coming down

"Just The Way I'm Feeling" - Feeder

 

Love in, love out

Find the feeling

Scream in, scream out

Time for healing

You feel the moments gone too soon

You're watching clouds come over you

 

Torn in two

You close your eyes

For some place new

Torn in two

 

[CHORUS:]

And I feel it's going down

Ten feet below the ground

I'm waiting for your healing hand

One touch could bring me round

I feel we're going down

Ten feet below the ground

It's just the way I'm feeling

 

Glow in, burn out

Lost the feeling

Bruise in, you bruise out

Nurse the bleeding

Torn in two

Each time we bruise

 

[CHORUS]

 

Two different views

As words confuse and break

I can't get out

There's no way out of here

I can't get clear

 

Love in, love out

Find the feeling

 

[CHORUS]

 

Yeah, yeah

It's just the way I'm feeling

Yeah, yeah

It's just the way I'm feeling

Yeah, yeah

"Bridge Of Hope" - Lara Fabian

 

I want to believe

That my prayers are being heard

Lately it seems

They have all been wasted words

 

How many prayers will it take

How many tears must we cry

Till we can walk across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

 

I know we could change

The sadness into smiles

If we could all see the world

Through the eyes of a child

 

How many prayers will it take

How many tears must we cry

Till we can walk across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

 

If everybody has the same thoughts

And everybody shares the same dream

Can't we get together

And make this world a better place

 

I had a dream

All our hatred turned into love

And every river of tears

Dried up into dust

 

Every woman and man

Standing side by side

Then we walked across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

 

Can we walk across that bridge of hope

And find peace

Sweet peace

On the other side

 

Everybody has the same thoughts

And everybody shares the same dream

Can't we get together

And make this world a better place

 

I want to believe

That my prayers are being heard

Lately it seems

They have all been wasted words

 

How many prayers will it take

How many tears must we cry

Till we can walk across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

 

Can we walk across that bridge of hope

And find peace

Sweet peace

On the other side

"Birds" - Cold Play

 

Been standing in the corner

Studying the lights

Dreaming of escaping

Will keep you up at night

But someone put the flares up

Got me in the rays

So I guess I better stay

 

"Oh now come on" you say

 

It's a fool's gold thunder

It's a warning rain

Don't let the fears just start

What if I won't see you again

Around here you never want to

Sleep all night

 

So start falling in love

And start the riot

And come on rage with me

 

We don't need words

Cause we'll be birds

Got to make our own key

 

We only got this moment

You and me

Guilty of nothing

But geography

 

So come on and raise it

Come on raise this noise

For the million people

Who got not one voice

Come on, it's not over

If you mean it say loud

Come on, all for love

Out from the underground

 

Away with me

We don't need words

Close your eyes and see

How we'll be birds

Flying free

Holding on in the mystery

 

Fearless through this you said

Fearless together

When you fly

Won't you, won't you take me too

In this world so cruel

I think you're so cool

"Free Again" - Barbra Streisand

 

Free again

Back to being free again

Back to being me again

With all my precious freedom

My precious, precious freedom

 

On my own

Back to being on my own

Back to live the life I'd known

Before I ever knew him

Before I ever knew him

 

Free again

Independent me free again

Time to call up all the crowd

Raise the roof and shout out loud

Time to have a party, a party

 

Lucky me

Take a look at lucky, lucky me

Take a look and you can see

How much I love my freedom

My precious, precious freedom

 

Simple me

Complicated simple me

Back to where I used to be

Before I ever knew him

Before I ever knew him

 

Free again

Lucky, lucky me

Free again

Back in circulation now

Time for celebration now

Time to have a party, a party

 

Free again

Independent me free again

Time to call up all the crowd

Raise the roof and shout out loud

Time to have a party

 

Lucky me

Take a look at lucky, lucky me

Back to where I used to be

Back to where I used to be

Free again

Free again

Free

Just for you, haf. 

 

 

 

"Cool Change" - Little River Band

If there's one thing in my life that's missing

It's the time that I spend alone

Sailing on the cool and bright clear water

 

It's kind of a special feeling

When you're out on the sea alone

Staring at the full moon like a lover

 

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged

I know that it's time for a cool change

 

Well I was born in the sign of water

And it's there that I feel my best

The albatross and the whales they are my brothers

 

There's lots of those friendly people

And they're showing me ways to go

And I never want to lose their inspiration

 

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged

I know that it's time for a cool change

 

I've never been romantic

And sometimes I don't care

I know it may sound selfish

But let me breathe the air

Let me breathe the air

 

Well I was born in the sign of water

And it's there that I feel my best

The albatross and the whales they are my brothers

 

It's kind of a special feeling

When you're out on the sea alone

Staring at the full moon like a lover

 

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged

I know that it's time for a cool change

"I Start To Cry" - Odette Quesada

 

I'm so tired

Too tired to feel

I'm tired of feeling this way

The day is done

It's come and gone

It's been like this every day

 

Now there's no more laughter

There are only tears

In the morning after

Wish you were here

 

If I say I'm alright

That would be a lie

Cause when I think about you

I start to cry

I start to cry

I start to cry, cry, cry

 

I was so proud

Too proud to see

Too much love got in the way

I was so wrong

To even hang on

Cause nothing I did made you stay

 

Now there's no more laughter

There are only tears

In the morning after

Wish you were here

 

If I say I'm alright

That would be a lie

Cause when I think about you

I start to cry

I start to cry

I start to cry, cry, cry

 

I'm so tired

Too tired to feel

"Will You Be There (Falling Down)" - Skillet

 

As I fall to sleep

Will you comfort me

When my heart is weak

Will you rescue me

 

Will you be there as I grow cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

Will you be there

When I'm in retreat, can I run to you

Will my pain release at your mercy seat

 

Will you be there as I grow cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

Will you be there, my heart grows cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

 

Are you saying so

I gotta believe that

Are you saying yeah

 

When your love comes down I can rest my eyes

Feel your grace and power flood into my life

As my brokenness and your strength collide

When your love comes down

Falling Down

 

As I fall to sleep

As I fall to sleep

 

Will you be there as I grow cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

Will you be there, my heart grows cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

As I grow cold

 

Will you be there, my heart grows cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

Will you be there as I grow cold

Will you be there when I'm falling down

"Stuck In The Middle With You"

Stealers Wheel

https://youtu.be/DohRa9lsx0Q

 

Louise Redknapp

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

 

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

And I'm wondering what it is I should do

It's so hard to keep this smile from my face

Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

 

Well, you started off with nothing

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends they all come crawling

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

 

Trying to make some sense of it all

But I can see it makes no sense at all

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor

Well, I don't think I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

 

Well, you started out with nothing

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends they all come crawling

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

 

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

 

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

Stuck in the middle with you

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

"The Innocent Age" - Dan Fogelberg

Capture the moment

Carry the day

Stay with the chase

As long as you may

Follow the dreamer

The fool and the sage

Back to the days of the innocent age

 

Storybook endings

Never appear

They're just someone's way

Of leading us here

Waiting for wisdom

To open the cage

We forged in the fires of the innocent age

 

(CHORUS:)

Back at the start

It was easy to see

No one to own to

Nowhere to be

Deep in the heartlands

A sad memory calls to me

 

Fretful horizons

Worrisome skies

Tearful misgivings

Burning your eyes

Yearnings unanswered

Reckon the wage you pay

To recapture the innocent age

 

(CHORUS)

 

Fretful horizons

Worrisome skies

Tearful misgivings

Burning your eyes

Yearnings unanswered

Reckon the wage you pay

To recapture the innocent age

"The Singing Bird" - Sinead O'Connor

 

I've seen the lark soar high at noon

Heard his song up in the blue

I've heard the songbird pipe his note

The thrush and the linnet too

But there's none of them can sing so sweet

My singing bird as you

 

Oh, my singing bird, as you

 

If I could lure my singing bird

From his own cozy nest

If I could catch my singing bird

I would warm him on my breast

For there's none of them can sing so sweet

My singing bird, as you

 

Oh, my singing bird, as you

Oh, my singing bird, as you

"Down To The Darkness" - Carole King

 

Everything's lost in illusion

I keep moving

But I can't seem to get out of the shadows

Out into the light of day

Everyone's out in the afternoon

Turning their faces

Up to the sun like a spotlight

What's wrong with me

I don't want to play

 

You're my obsession

I just can't get you out of my mind

I look around and I see all the signs

They say danger

 

I know you're gonna take me

Down to the darkness

Down to the darkness

Oh, but I want you to

I know you're gonna take me

Down to the darkness

Down to the darkness

Oh, but you know I want you to

Oh, yes I want you to

 

I'm afraid of the dark

Oh, but I'm attracted to it

I'm afraid of the dark

I want to run away

But I can't do it

 

Through my hazy confusion

I close my eyes

But your image is indelibly burned there

Seared into my memory

Now as I stand

On the edge of the precipice

Looking down into the black abyss

I know I'll be lost with just one kiss

But I want to be

 

Even as the tongues of fire

Lick at me from below

No turning back

I just can't let go of the danger

 

I know you're gonna take me down

I know you're gonna take me

Down to the darkness

Oh, but I want you to

Oh, yes I want you to

I want you to take me

Down to the darkness

Down, down, down to the darkness

"Can't Find My Way Home"

 

Blind Faith

 

Joe Cocker

https://youtu.be/4ttbSdIlNDY

 

Come down off your throne

And leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason

I've been waiting so long.

Somebody holds the key

 

[Chorus:]

But I'm near the end

And I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted

And I can't find my way home

 

Come down on your own

And leave your body alone

Somebody must change

You are the reason

I've been waiting all these years

Somebody holds the key

 

But I'm near the end

And I just ain't got the time

And I'm wasted

And I can't find my way home

 

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home

Still I can't find my way home

 

And I ain't done nothing wrong

But I can't find my way home

"Big Bird In A Small Cage" - Patrick Watson

 

There was a house halfway round the world

And I was invited in for a small taste of gin

There was a hallway a thousand birds long

But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small

 

I asked the caretaker cause he was their maker

He looked at me and laughed took another sip from his glass

He said 'Open up your ears and hearts

You put a big bird in a small cage and he'll sing you a song'

 

That we all love to sing along

To the sound of the bird that mourns

 

Well we rolled into town into sweet New Orleans

To the Apple Barrel bar it was a hole in the wall

The ceilings weren't tall, the floors were grime

But the sounds you were making just warm your hearts

 

Well it was quarter to twelve and the boys walked in

They got their black suits on and the songs would begin

You open up your ears and hearts

You put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song

 

That we all love to sing along

To the sound of the bird that mourns

To the sound of the bird that mourns

To the sound of the bird that mourns

To the sound of the bird that mourns

You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song

You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song

You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song

You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song

"Soulshine" - The Allman Brothers

 

When you can't find the light

That guides you through a cloudy day

When the stars ain't shining bright

You feel like you've lost your way

When the candlelight of home

Burns so very far away

Well you got to let your soul shine

Just like my daddy used to say

 

[Chorus:]

He used to say soulshine

It's better than sunshine

It's better than moonshine

Damn sure better than the rain

Hey now people don't mind

We all feel this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

Shine till the break of day

 

I grew up thinking I had it made

I'd make it on my own

Life can take the strongest man

Make him feel so alone

Now sometimes I feel a cold wind

Blowing through my aching bones

I think back to what my daddy said

He said "Boy, in this darkness before the dawn:"

 

Let your soul shine

It's better than sunshine

It's better than moonshine

Damn sure better than the rain

Hey now people don't mind

We all feel this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

Shine till the break of day

 

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness

Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul

A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this

And when your world seems cold

You got to let your spirit take control

 

Let your soul shine

It's better than sunshine

It's better than moonshine

Damn sure better than the rain

Lord now people don't mind

We all feel this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

Shine till the break of day

"Holding On' - Alex Band

 

I am awake

No longer sleeping

I made my mistakes

It's what I was needing

 

And now I'm breaking away

From the crowd

I wanna just scream aloud

Hey, no one can stand in my way

 

[CHORUS]

I believe

I'm holding on to a dream

And staying strong

Can't you see

I'm holding on, holding on

Holding on to a dream

 

I've made up my mind

This fire is burning

I'll follow the signs

These pages are turning

 

And now I'm dancing alone

In the moonlight

Closing my eyes

It just feels right

Letting my heart lead the way

 

[CHORUS]

 

You know I can't do this alone

A house never could make a home

 

And now I'm breaking away

From the crowd

I wanna just scream aloud

Hey, no one can stand in my way

 

I believe

I'm holding on to a dream

And staying strong

Can't you see

I'm holding on, holding on

Holding on to a dream

 

Holding onto a dream

Holding onto a dream

Holding onto a dream

"I've Had Enough" - The Who

 

You were under the impression

That when you were walking forwards

You'd end up further onward

But things ain't quite that simple

 

You got altered information

You were told to not take chances

You missed out on new dances

Now you're losing all your dimples

 

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck

I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet

 

Love rain on me

Rain on me

Love rain on me

Love

 

I've had enough of living

I've had enough of dying

I've had enough of smiling

I've had enough of crying

I've taken all the high roads

I've squandered and I've saved

I've had enough of childhood

I've had enough of graves

(x2)

 

Get a job and fight to keep it

Strike out to reach a mountain

Be so nice on the outside

But inside keep ambition

 

Don't cry because you hunt them

Hurt them first they'll love you

There's a millionaire above you

And you're under his suspicion

 

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck

I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet

 

Love rain on me

Rain on me

Love rain on me

Love

 

I've had enough of dance halls

I've had enough of pills

I've had enough of street fights

I've seen my share of kills

I'm finished with the fashions

And acting like I'm tough

I'm bored with hate and passion

I've had enough of trying to love

"Calling You" - Jeff Buckley

 

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Some place better than where you've been

A coffee machine that needs some fixing

In a little cafe just around the bend

 

I am calling you

Can't you hear me

I am calling you

 

A hot dry wind blows right through me

Your baby's crying and I can't sleep

But we all know a change is coming

Coming closer sweet release

 

I am calling you

I know you hear me

I am calling you

 

Oh, oh, oh

I am calling

I am calling you

 

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Some place better than where you've been

A coffee machine that needs some fixing

In a little cafe just around the bend

 

A hot dry wind blows right through me

Your baby's crying and I can't sleep

But we all know a change is coming

Coming closer sweet release

Sweet release, sweet release, sweet

 

I am calling you

Do you hear me

Oh, I am calling you

"Torn" - Natalie Imbruglia

 

I thought I saw a man brought to life

He was warm

He came around

And he was dignified

He showed me what it was to cry

 

Well you couldn't be that man I adored

You don't seem to know

Don't seem to care

What your heart is for

Oh I don't know him anymore

 

There's nothing where

He used to lie

The conversation has run dry

That's what's going on

Nothing's fine

 

I'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I'm ashamed

Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake

And I can see the perfect sky is torn

You're a little late

I'm already torn

 

So I guess the fortune teller's right

I should have seen

Just what was there

And not some holy light

But you crawled beneath my veins

 

And now I don't care

I have no luck

I don't miss it all that much

There's just so many things

That I can't touch

 

I'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I'm ashamed

Lying naked on the floor
