Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

 

 

 

Haunting!!!

[[Lo...]]

Chameleons - Is It Any Wonder

 

 

On the surface he seems sensible

But underneath the logic is crazy

Like a cat that walks with cruelty

Or a dog that always bites for no reason

I could feel the madness there

But I couldn't see the streets for the houses

And all the lies and fantasies

Were suddenly malicious and dangerous

 

With every passing day you put me through

What have I done to you?

Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?

 

Sisters of normality

Collapse into convulsions of laughter

Knuckle walking animals

Are swaggering and spilling their anger

And they're almost walking upright

As they try to ape the madmen around them

But the slightest, kindest hint of love

Leaves them naked snorting like horses

 

If that's what's waiting for me on the ground,

I hope I never come down

Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?

 

Here in this lullaby

We'll leave them all behind

Thoughtlessly wasting time

We'll be gone in the blink of an eye

 

Is this really where the story ends

For all those so called friends

Is it any wonder that they think I've lost my mind

 

If that's what they think then fine

We'll leave them all behind

 

Is it any wonder?

 

We'll leave them all behind

Hearing these words of mine

 

Alternative Lyrics from Marks songbook (Dearest dead days):

 

 

On the surface he seems sensible

but underneath the logic is crazy

Like a cat that walks with cruelty

Or a dog that always bites for no reason

I could feel the madness there

but I couldn't see the streets for the houses

And all the lies and fantasies

Were suddenly malicious and dangerous

With every passing day you put me through

What have I done to you?

Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?

 

Sisters of normality

collapse into convulsions of laughter

Knuckle walking animals

are swaggering and spilling their anger

And they're almost walking upright

As they try to ape the madmen around them

But the slightest kindest hint of love

Leaves them naked snorting like horses

 

If that's what's waiting for me on the ground

I hope I never come down

Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?

 

Here in this lullaby

We'll leave them all behind

Thoughtlessly wasting time

We'll be gone in the blink of an eye

 

Is this really where the story ends

For all those so called friends

Is it any wonder that they think I've lost my mind

If that's what they think then fine

We'll leave them all behind

 

Is it any wonder?

 

We'll leave them all behind

Hearing these words of mine

The War on Drugs - In Reverse

 

 

You've been out on the street

Talkin' bout the war with me

And the background is at night

Don't want to hesitate

Will they tell me where you're hiding?

But through the haze there's no one there.

Wondering if you care.

Callin' out your name in the darkness

 

When I'm done with my time here

I'm going to keep staying strong

Through the railways

But I never mind going

And I realize now that the road is bare

And I hear it all through the grand parade

 

And I don't mind you disappearing

'Cause I know you can be found

We be liven' on the dark side of the street, damn.

When we livin' in the moment

And losing our grasp

Making it last with the grand parade in our past

 

Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow

As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in

But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys

It evaporates and fades like a grand parade

 

And I don't mind you disappearing

When I know you can be found

When you livin' on the dark side of the street, damn?

We just livin' in the moment, making our past, losin' our grasp through the grand parade

 

I'll be here or I'll fade away

Never cared about moving, never cared about now

Not the notes I'm playing

Is there room in the dark, in between the changes?

Like a light that's drifting, in reverse I'm moving.

" Lonesome Tears"

Beck

 

 

"Lonesome Tears"

 

Lonesome tears

I can't cry them anymore

I can't think of what they're for

Oh they ruin me every time

But I'll try

To leave behind some days

These tears just can't erase

I don't need them anymore

 

How could this love

Ever turning

Never turn its eye on me

How could this love

Ever changing

Never change the way I feel

 

Lazy sun

Your eyes catch the light

With promises that might

Come true for awhile

Oh I'll ride

Farther than I should

Harder than I could

Just to meet you there

 

How could this love

Ever turning

Never turn its eye on me

How could this love

Ever changing

Never change the way I feel

"Meet Me On The Battlefield"

Svrcina

 

 

"Battlefield"

 

No time for rest

No pillow for my head

Nowhere to run from this

No way to forget

 

Around the shadows creep

Like friends, they cover me

Just wanna lay me down and finally

Try to get some sleep

 

We carry on through the storm

Tired soldiers in this war

Remember what we're fighting for

 

Meet me on the battlefield

Even on the darkest night

I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage

And you will be mine

 

Echos and the shots ring out

We may be the first to fall

Everything can stay the same or we could change it all

 

Meet me on the battlefield

 

We're standing face-to-face

With our own human race

We commit the sins again and our sons and daughters pay

Our tainted history, is playing on repeat

But we could change it if we stand up strong and take the lead

 

When I was younger, I was named

A generation unafraid

For heirs to come, be brave

 

And meet me on the battlefield

Even on the darkest night

I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage

And you will be mine

 

Echos and the shots ring out

We may be the first to fall

Everything can stay the same or we could change it all

 

Meet me on the battlefield

 

We carry on through the storm

Tired soldiers in this war

Remember what we're fighting for

 

Meet me on the battlefield

Even on the darkest night

I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage

And you will be mine

 

Echos and the shots ring out

We may be the first to fall

Everything could stay the same or we could change it all

(We can change it all)

 

Meet me on the battlefield

 

Meet me on the battlefield

(We could change it all)

 

❤️

" Answer"

 

Sarah McLachlan

 

 

"Answer"

 

I will be the answer

At the end of the line

I will be there for you

While you take the time

In the burning of uncertainty

I will be your solid ground

I will hold the balance

If you can't look down

 

If it takes my whole life

I won't break, I won't bend

It will all be worth it

Worth it in the end

Cause I can only tell you what I know

That I need you in my life

When the stars have all gone out

You'll still be burning so bright

 

Cast me gently

Into morning

For the night has been unkind

Take me to a

Place so holy

That I can wash this from my mind

The memory of choosing not to fight

 

If it takes my whole life

I won't break, I won't bend

It will all be worth it

Worth it in the end

'Cause I can only tell you what I know

That I need you in my life

When the stars have all burned out

You'll still be burning so bright

 

Cast me gently

Into morning

For the night has been unkind

"The Faith" - Leonard Cohen and Anjani

https://youtu.be/CI_V7BVoHGk

 

The sea so deep and blind

The sun, the wild regret

The club, the wheel, the mind

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

The club, the wheel, the mind

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

 

The blood, the soil, the faith

These words you can't forget

Your vow, your holy place

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

The blood, the soil, the faith

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

 

A cross on every hill

A star, a minaret

So many graves to fill

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

So many graves to fill

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

 

The sea so deep and blind

Where still the sun must set

And time itself unwind

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

And time itself unwind

Oh love, aren't you tired yet

"End Of The World" - Ingrid Michaelson

 

When the sun runs out

And there's no one to save you

Will you go to our favorite place

And try to say goodbye

 

At the end of

At the end of the world

Will you find me, will you find me

At the end of

At the end of the world

Will you find me

So that we can go together

Together, together

 

When the moon breaks up

And the tide goes out of control

Will you find me in the water

And swim me to the stars

 

At the end of

At the end of the world

Will you find me, will you find me

At the end of

At the end of the world

Will you find me

So that we can go together

Together, together, together, together

 

When the sun breaks up

And there's no one to save you

 

At the end of

At the end of the world

Will you find me, will you find me

At the end of

At the end of the world

 

Will you find me

Will you find me

Will you find me

Will you find me

"Crossroads" - Tracy Chapman

 

All you folks think you own my life

But you never made any sacrifice

Demons they're on my trail

I'm standing at the crossroads of Hell 

I look to the left I look to the right

Hands grab me on every side

 

All you folks think you got my price

At which I'll sell all that is mine

You think money rules when all else fails

Go sell your soul and keep your shell

I'm trying to protect what I keep inside

All the reasons why I live my life

 

Some say the devil be a mystical thing

I say the devil he a walking man

He a fool, he a liar, conjurer and a thief

He try to tell you what you want

Try to tell you what you need

 

Standing at the point

The road it cross you down

What is at your back

Which way do you turn

Who will come to find you first

Your devils or your gods

 

All you folks think you run my life

Say I should be willing to compromise

I say all you demons go back to Hell

I'll save my soul, save myself

 

Save my soul, save myself

Save my soul, save myself

Save my soul

Save myself

"I Will Be"- Christina Aguilera

The world seems so cold

When I face so much all alone

A little scared to move on

And knowing how fast I have grown

And I wonder just where I fit in

Hold a vision of a life in my head

 

[CHORUS]

I will be strong on my own

I will see through the rain

I will find my way

I will keep on traveling the road

Till I finally reach my dream

Till I'm living and I'm breathing

My destiny

 

I can't let go now even when darkness surrounds

But if I hold on I will show the world

All the things that you never expected to see

From little old me, this Pittsburgh girl

And I wonder just where my place is

Close my eyes and I remind myself this

 

[CHORUS]

 

It comforts me

It keeps me alive each day of my life

Always guiding me, providing me

With the hope I desperately need

 

Well I gotta believe

There's something out there meant for me

Oh I get on my knees praying I will receive

The courage to grow and the faith to know

 

And I will be strong on my own

I will see through the rain

I will find my way

I will keep on traveling the road

Till I finally reach my dream

Till I'm living and I'm breathing

My destiny

"Skybird" - Neil Diamond

 

Skybird

Make your sail

And every heart

Will know of the tale

And head for the farthest shore

 

Songbird

Make your tune

For none may sing it just as you do

And make your song be heard

 

Look at the way I glide

Caught on the wind's lazy tide

Sweetly how it sings

Rally each heart

At the sight of your silver wings

 

Skybird, skybird

Night bird

Find your way

For none may know it just as you may

 

Seek out your harbor of light

Let your song be heard

Rally each heart

To the sight of your silver wings

Skybird

[[Lo...]]

Ride - Cool Yer Boots

 

 

Across fifty states of mind

I didn't feel inclined

You waited yesterday

I didn't come your way

Now time is moving on

I know it won't be long

Till I'm shuffling away

With nothing more to say

When I'm printed on your wall

My face won't change at all

The smile beneath my hair

Hangs lifeless in the air

Like a net in water

I'm running through it all

And I'm shuffling away

With nothing more to say

It's been preying on my mind

And now I'm just resigned

You smile for yesterday

I think I'm in the way

You seem concerned

And say I should slow down

But how can I see the stars

If my feet are on the ground?

"It's In The Rain" - Enya

 

Every time the rain comes down

I close my eyes and listen

I can hear the lonesome sound

Of the sky as it cries

 

Listen to the rain

Here it comes again

Hear it in the rain

 

Feel the touch of tears that fall

They won't fall forever

In the way the day will flow

All things come, all things go

 

Listen to the rain, the rain

Here it comes again, again

Hear it in the rain, the rain

 

Late at night I drift away

I can hear you calling

And my name is in the rain

Leaves on trees whispering

Deep blue seas, mysteries

 

Even when this moment ends

Can't let go this feeling

Everything will come again

In the sound falling down

Of the sky as it cries

Hear my name in the rain

"It's A Long Road" - Dan Hill

It's a long road

When you're on your own

And it hurts

When they tear your dreams apart

 

And every new town

Just seems to bring you down

Trying to find peace of mind

Can break your heart

 

It's a real war

Right outside your front door

I tell ya, out where they'll kill ya

You could use a friend

 

Where the road is

That's the place for me

Where I'm me in my own space

Where I'm free

That's the place I want to be

 

Cause the road is long yea

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks, just heartaches

Oh man, is anybody winning

 

It's a long road

And it's hard as Hell

Tell me what do you do to survive

When they draw first blood

That's just the start of it

Day and night

You gotta fight

To keep alive

 

It's a real war

Right outside your front door

I tell ya, out where they'll kill ya

You could use a friend

 

The road is long yea

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks, just heartaches

Oh man, is anybody winning

 

It's a long road

It's a long road

"Albatross"

 

Judy Collins

 

Rufus Wainwright

 

The lady comes to the gate dressed in lavender and leather

Looking North to the sea she finds the weather fine

She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard

All the way from town

She watches seagulls fly

Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves

The edges of the sky

 

Many people wander up the hills

From all around you

Making up your memories and thinking they have found you

They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride

Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried

And tell you why

And ask you why

Either way you answer

 

Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies

Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family

The embroidery of your life holds you in

And keeps you out but you survive

Imprisoned in your bones

Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes

 

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain

Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain

Come away alone

 

Even now by the gate with your long hair blowing

And the colors of the day that lie along your arms

You must barter your life to make sure you are living

And the crowd that has come

You give them the colors

And the bells and the wind and the dream

 

Will there never be a prince who rides along the sea and the mountains

Scattering the sand and the foam into amethyst fountains

Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass

Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass

 

Day and night and day again and people come and go away forever

While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror

While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign

The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your design

 

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain

Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain

Come away alone

Come away alone

With me

"Dream On"

 

Kelly Sweet

 

Aerosmith

 

Every time I look in the mirror

All these lines on my face getting clearer

The past is gone

It went by like dusk to dawn

Isn't that the way

Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

 

I know it's everybody sin

You got to lose to know

How to have a win

 

Sing with me

Sing for the years

Sing for the laughter

Sing for the tears

Sing with me if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

 

Dream on

Dream on

Dream until your dreams come true

Dream on

Dream on

Dream on

 

Every time I look in the mirror

The past is gone

"Impossible Dream"

 

Luther Vandross

 

Shirley Bassey

https://youtu.be/ZLSOR-pcfXg

Tom Jones

https://youtu.be/RuireczvTSk

 

To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

And to run where the brave dare not go

 

To right the un-rightable wrong

And to love pure and chaste from afar

To try when your arms are too weary

To reach the unreachable star

 

This is my quest

To follow that star

No matter how hopeless

No matter how far

To fight for the right

Without question or pause

To be willing to march into hell

For a heavenly cause

 

And I know

If I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my heart

Will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest

 

And the world will be better for this

That one man scorned and covered with scars

Still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable, the unreachable

The unreachable star

 

And I'll always dream

The impossible dream

Yes, and I'll reach

The unreachable star

"Everything Changes" - Matthew Sweet

 

It's a matter of choices

And a matter of time

For you it's a matter of drive

 

You will let nothing

Get in your way

You set to conquer

Each single day

 

Everything changes, change itself

You can take out

What you think you know

Put it back on the shelf

 

And would you believe me

If I'd spoken my mind

Cause nobody gets there

They just try, try, try

 

Everything changes, change itself

Like a bird you'd sooner fly away

But you're stuck in yourself

 

As everything changes

We stay the same

You keep turning

Before long you're going to find out

What's in a name

 

So you look for the answer

Then pull it apart

Tear it up till there's nothing there

Cause it hurts your heart

 

Everything Changes

And for what you lack

You keep turning

 

Before long you're going to find out

Everything Changes

It's not hard to tell

Like a bird you'd sooner fly away

[[Lo...]]

Matthew Sweet - Winona

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFJFPD8UtK0

 

I tried to call you

But the line was busy

Were you talking to a friend?

When I tried again much later

I didn't want to let it ring again

 

So you can see I've got a problem

Back by popular demand

Sometimes I want to

Keep it from you

Sometimes I think

You'll understand

 

Could you be my

Little movie star?

Could you be my long lost girl?

It's true that

I don't really know you

But I'm alone in the world

 

When I think maybe I need you

I don't care if if it's not true

'Cause it isn't so much

What I need now

As what I want from you

 

Could you be my

Little movie star?

Could you be my long lost girl?

It's true that

I don't really know you

But I'm alone in the world

 

Could you be my

Little movie star?

Could you be my long lost girl?

It's true that

I don't really know you

 

I feel alone

I feel alone...

Chris Bell - You and your sister

 

They say my love for you ain't real

But you don't know how real it feels

All I want to do

Is to spend some time with you

So I can hold you, hold you

Your sister says that I'm no good

I'd reassure her if I could

All I want to do

Is to spend some time with you

So I can hold you, hold you

Plans fail every day

I want to hear you say

Your love won't be leaving (Run Run, Run Run)

Your eyes ain't deceiving (Run Run, Run Run)

Fears will soon fade away

Smile now, don't be afraid

All I want to do

Is to spend some time with you

So I can hold you, hold you

And let me whisper in your ear

Don't you worry, they can't hear

All I want to do

Is to spend some time with you

So I can hold you
