Creep~ Brandie Carlisle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiVtTAdWiyc&feature=related

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell
Am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're
So fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell
Am I doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run.

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell
Am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
 
Rome Wasn't Built in a Day........Morcheeba

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

In this day and age it's so easy to stress
'Cause people are strange and you can never second guess
In order to love child we got to be strong
I'm caught in the crossfire why can't we get along

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

I'm having a daydream, we're getting somewhere
I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair
I'm as nervous as you 'bout making it right
Though we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight
Oh no

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll run away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me (you and me) we're meant to be (meant to be)
Walking free (walking free) in harmony (in harmony)
One fine day (one fine day) we' ll ran away (we gonna ran away, we gonna ran away)
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me (you and me) we're meant to be (meant to be)
Walking free (walking free) in harmony (in harmony)
One fine day (one fine day) we' ll fly away (we gonna ran away, we gonna ran away)
Don't you know that Rome wasn' t built in a day
 
My Man's Gone Now....Porgy & Bess/Performed by Nina Simone http://popup.lala.com/popup/504684702259285728

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

He come around
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Work n' me is travelers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land

But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tell' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man

Since I lose my man
 
Booty/Erykah Badu

Your booty might be bigga
But I still can pull your nigga
But I don't want him
Ya got sugar on your pita
But ya nigga thinks I'm sweeter
But I don't want him
Ya know the whole encyclopedia
But ya nigga thinks I'm deeper
But I don't want him
Got a whole lot a junk off in ya trunk
But ya nigga think I'm live and I keep him crunk
I don't want him

Hey, hey, hey
I don't want him cause of what he doin to you
And you don't need him
Cause he ain't ready
See I don't want him
If he ain't made no arrangement with you
I hope you would've done the same thing for me too

Your kisses might be wetter
But your nigga likes mine better
But I don't want him
Ya got the beans and rice and the hot ho cakes
But ya nigga still over here in my plate
I don't want him
Ya got a PHD, Magna Cum Laude
But ya nigga love me with a GED
I don't want him
You the one with all the money
And he knows my money's funny
But I don't want him

Hey, hey, hey

Cause of what he doin to you
And you don't need him
Cause the boy ain't ready

Got ya pad all decked out fa sho
But ya niggas at my door, thought

Well you can do the butterfly and the tootsie roll
But ya nigga straight sprung off the way I stroll
I don't want him
Ya know the whole 120 + degree
But you can't keep ya guy up off his knees
I don't want him
Got a 9-5 and a 6-10
But ya nigga told me not to work again
I don't want him

Hey, hey, hey
I don't want him
Cause of what he doin to you
And you don't need him
Cause he ain't ready
 
The Ice Maiden - Prefab Sprout

Standing on the boulevard
You wish to know my name
I'm the Ice Maiden
I think perhaps you like being unhappy
I'm the Ice Maiden - The limit of your dreams

Arctic winds blow and still you believe
Loves makes you one of the chosen
Die in the snow - I'll never grieve
So what if tomorrow you're frozen
Death is a small price for heaven

Welcome to the glow of high octane affairs
Esperanto style and blonde disheveled hair
Subterranean streams, duckling you're a swan
Infinites of dreams imploding into one
All those nights I dreamt of you
I wonder where they've gone

You're the Ice Maiden
Standing on the boulevard
I've always known your name
You're the Ice Maiden
Let you and I grow frosty together
You're the Ice Maiden - Today you meet your match

Girl when I burn - Hell nothing's the same
I'll singe your pretty blonde lashes
We're talking fire - We're talking flame
We're talking ice into ashes
But death is a small price for heaven

All those nights I dreamt of you
I wonder where they've gone

Girl when I burn - Hell nothing's the same
I'll singe your pretty blonde lashes
We're talking fire - We're talking flame
We're talking ice into ashes
But death is a small price for heaven
 
"Mama Said Knock You Out"/L.L. Cool J

C'mon man

[News Report]

And with the local DBT news, LL Cool J with a triumphant comeback
[mumbling]
but tonite...


Don't call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon
Listen to the bass go BOOM
Explosion, overpowerin
Over the competition, I'm towerin
Wreckin shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare, you betta move
Don't ever compare
Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's payin the price

I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)

Don't u call this a regular jam
I'm gonna rock this land
I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
And I'm just gettin warm
Just like Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius
Watch me bash this beat like a skull
Cuz u know I had beef wit
Why do u riff with me, the maniac psycho
And when I pull out my jammy get ready cuz it might go
BLAAAAW, how ya like me now?
The river will not allow
U to get with, Mr. Smith, dont riff
Listen to my gear shift
I'm blastin, outlastin
Kinda like Shaft, so u could say I'm shaftin
Old English filled my mind
And I came up with a funky rhyme

Breakdown!!!

Shadow boxin when I heard you on the radio (HUUUH!!!)
I just don't know
What made you forget that I was raw?
But now I got a new tour
I'm goin insane, startin the hurricane, releasin pain
Lettin you know that you can't gain, I maintain
Unless ya say my name
Rippin, killin
Diggin and drillin a hole
Pass the Ol' Gold

Shotgun blasts are heard
When I rip and kill, at WILL
The man of the hour, tower of power, I'll devour
I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand
that I'm not your average man
when I got a jammy in my hand
DAAAAAM!!!!! Oooooohh!!
Listen to the way I slaaaaay, your crew
Damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage
Destruction, terror, and mayhem
Pass me a sissy so suckas I'll slay him
Farmers (What!!!) Farmers (What!!!)
I'm ready (we're ready!!!)
I think I'm gonna bomb a town (get down!!)
Don't u neva, eva, pull my lever
Cuz I explode
And my nine is easy to load
I gotta thank God
Cuz he gave me the strength to rock
HARD!! knock you out, mama said knock you out

Hesitate~Steve Moakler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxgfcqPyHTE&feature=PlayList&p=4B4A42E59611DE7C&index=0

The human heart is a scary part in fact
'Cause I could break you and you could break me back
Though my head says just forget it
You'll get hurt and you'll regret it
Ask me now and I won't hesitate

So many cards that never leave the deck
There comes a time when you have to place your bets
And I've never been a gambling man
But if you want to see my hand
Ask me now and I won't hesitate

'Cause I'm fearful of heights and you take me higher
What came with you was a view to admire
I've always been the kind to contemplate
But you like the kind that don't hesitate

Excuse me while I fall for you
Excuse me while I fall for you

I thought about it long and hard today
I realized I'm standing in our way
Usually my judgement's better
But with your blue eyes, hey whatever
Ask me now and I won't hesitate
Ask me now and I won't hesitate

Excuse me while I fall for you
Excuse me while I fall for you
 
My Torture~ Esthero

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC8lcEAOuA8

Set myself on fire, anything to turn your head
I won't deny this, I'm burning from the things you said
Now you got me running around and all that I have found is I can't afford him
All I got is spare change cause he was my fortune
My torture
Had myself a lover, I liked him cause of all of the books that he read
And he was like no other boy that I had ever met before
And I loved all the things that he said
I wanted to heal him, I did not plan on staying as long
I didn't think I would need him so how did he become
My torture
My, my, my
My torture, it's always the sweetest thing
Where do I go? What do I do with this heart?
My torture, my torture
I want you to comfort me
I want you to stop disturbing my sleep
I really thought you were my king
I thought you were my king
I want it to stop hurting so bad
So bad, so so bad...
 
Run ~ Snow Patrol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP5j_Q9CZ3w
:rose:
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower Slower
We don't have time for that
All i want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
 
Diggin Up Bones - Randy Travis

Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn
Yeah I've been sittin alone diggin up bones

Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Yeah tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

I'm diggin up bones, I'm diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear
Then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on
Yeah tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

I'm diggin up bones I'm diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones
I'm diggin up bones I'm diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
 
This Year's Love~ David Gray

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo-tp0JZvUA

This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last

You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

It's human nature [it's human nature]
And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me [it's human nature]


You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breaking all the rules I didn't make
(Express yourself, don't repress yourself)
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

Bridge:

Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I must have been crazy]
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you

Express yourself, don't repress yourself
Express yourself, don't repress yourself
Express yourself, don't repress yourself

Chorus2

And I'm not sorry [I'm not apologizing]
It's human nature [Would it sound better if I were a man?]
And I'm not sorry [You're the one with the problem]
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me [Why don't you just deal with it]

Chorus 3

And I'm not sorry [Would you like me better if I was?]
It's human nature [We all feel the same way]
And I'm not sorry [I have no regrets]
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me [Just look in the mirror]

Chorus 4

And I'm not sorry [I don't have to justify anything]
It's human nature [I'm just like you]

Black Black Heart~ David Usher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFJorMzya2M


Something ugly this way comes
Through my fingers sliding inside
All these blessings all these burns
Godless underneath your cover
Search for pleasure search for pain
In this world now i am undying
I unfurl my flag my nation helpless

Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire im rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds

As i begin to lose my grip
On these realities your sending
Taste your mind and taste your sex
I'm naked underneath your cover
Covers lie and we will bend and borrow
With the coming sign
The tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape

Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire i'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds

Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire i'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds

All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
 
AC/DC - Down Payment Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT5FhRWQT8I

I know that it's evil
I know that it's gotta be
I know I ain't doing much
doing nothing means a lot to me
living on a shoestring
a fifty cent millionaire
open to charity
rock 'n' roll welfare
sitting in my Cadillac
listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
tell me where she wanna go
I'm living in a nightmare
she's looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
but I can't afford the gasoline
I got holes in my shoes
and I'm way overdue
down payment blues

get myself a steady job
some responsibility
can't even feed my cat
on social security
hiding from the rent man
oh it make me wanna cry
sheriff knocking on my door
ain't it funny how the time flies
sitting on my sailing boat
sipping on my champagne
Suzy baby all at sea
say she wanna come again
feeling like a paper cup
floating down a storm drain
got myself a sailing boat
but I can't afford a drop of rain
I got holes in my shoes
and I'm way overdue
down payment blues

down payment blues
down payment blues
down payment blues

I got holes in my shoes
and I'm way overdue
I go the
down payment blues
 
East 17 - Feel What U Can't C

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_s9XXHZxB8&


......
Love ain't just a name or game
But a reason
Reason for creation
Reason for season
Like the cloud ride upon the shoulders of the sea
There's a ticket in my pocket
Take it and ride with me
I'll be your pillow
On me sleep at night, right
Oh, if you're scared babe
I'll hold you real tight
I'll never let you go
That's why I'm telling you so
Give love chance to grow
To come inside and flow
......
 
Walking Wounded~ The Tea Party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCwrQSe9m4c

Is it safe to look within
And erase all that's been
And all that's been between
Is it gone, tell me what went wrong
'cause baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone
All Alone

Are you comfortable and numb
Do they all succumb
to all those lies
Does it satisfy the greed
Is it all you need
Is it all you want
well baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone
and baby i'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded
All Alone
All Alone

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
baby, now
How does it feel?
How does it feel?

If your memories do stray
Then they'll betray all that's past
And all that's been between
Is it gone, tell me what went wrong
'cause baby I'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone
and baby i'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded
All Alone
All Alone

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
baby, now
How does it feel?
How does it feel?

How does it feel?
How does it feel?

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
baby, now
 
Rammstein - Benzin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5JixDsKdjk

(I've translated this...)

I need time, no heroin
no alcohol, no nicotine
no help, no caffeine
only dynamite and turpentine
I nedd oil for gasoline
explosive like kerosene
with much Octane and free of lead
a fuel like gasoline!

Gasoline!
Gasoline!
Gasoline!

Don't need a friend, no cocaine
don't need a doctor and medicine
no woman, only vaseline
a little nitroglycerin
i need money for gasoline
explosive like kerosene
with much Octane and free of lead
a fuel like gasoline!


Gasoline!
Gasoline!
Gasoline!

It runs through my veins
It sleeps in my tears
It runs out of my ears
heart and kidneys are motors


YEs!

Gasoline!

If you wanna break with something
you must burn it.
you don't want to see it again
let it swim in gasoline


Gasoline!
Gasoline!
Gasoline!

I need gasoline
give me gasoline
I drink gasoline
 
Trust Yourself - Blue Rodeo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKsQ8u1Ov8Q

Someday soon
And I don't know when
Your little world
Will come crashing in
Don't think twice
I'll be around
Turn your back
Someone's gonna let you down
You know that it's true
Nobody led you on
They left that to you
Now you'll be alone
When the sun comes up
With your tattered little dreams
And a broken cup
Then you'll have to
Trust yourself
And don't believe in anymore lies

You waste your time
Think too much
Really make a mess
Of the things you touch
Poor little bird
With a broken wing
Better look around now
You know you're losing everything
It's just a game
Thought you had it all lined up
But somehow that's changed
Now you'll have to run
And not get caught
And you'll have to hide
If you like it or not
Then you'll have to
Trust yourself
And don't believe in anymore lies

Someday soon
And it won't be long
You'll ring the bell
But they'll all be gone
They took your jewels
And your statues too
Left you with a pile of things
You never learned how to use
Well here it comes again
You showed us where it all began
Well here's where it ends

And you'll be alone
When the sun comes up
Tattered little dreams
And a broken cup
Then you'll have to trust yourself
And don't believe in anymore
Trust yourself
And don't believe in anymore
Trust yourself
And don't believe in anymore lies
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
 
Sweetest Decline~Beth Orton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1XQockmMas

She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share
She's deep as a well
She's deep as a well
Another day wastes away
And my heart sinks with the sun
A new day's dawning
And a new day has not yet begun
So, anyway
There I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in your sweetest decline
Your sweetest decline
What's the use in regrets
They're just thing we haven't done yet
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
Another day draws away
And my heart sinks with the sun
It's like catching snow on my tongue
It's like catching snow on my tongue
So, anyway
There I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drink in your sweetest decline
The sweetest decline
What are regrets?
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
It's like catching snow on your tongue
You can't pin this butterfly down
Can't pin this butterfly down
 
Precious Maybe~ Beth Orton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i4GPpr048k


Sometimes I get to thinkin', baby, when I'm all alone
I could maybe make it on my own
The more, oh, you set me free
The more attractive you seem to be

And my baby
My precious baby
You're my maybe
My only maybe

Sometimes I get to thinkin' when we're on the
telephone
Are you really on your own
So more that you set me free
The more deceptive it gets to be

And my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe

Sometimes I get a feelin' in every part of me
Nothin' is what it seems to be
The more, oh, you set me free
The more addicted I get to be

You're my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe
Ooh, my baby
Ooh, my baby
My precious baby...
 
American Pie ~ Don McLean

A great summer song...it is 73 degrees in Southern Ontario on April 2nd...un-fucking real!!! Car windows rolled down, music blaring...smiles all around!


Verse 1
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

{Refrain}

So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die


Verse 2
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n' roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm & blues
I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

{Refrain}

Verse 3
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

{Refrain}


Verse 4
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singing


{Refrain}

Verse 5
Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack, be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devils only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing


{Refrain}

Verse 6
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin'


{Refrain}

Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

They were singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
 
A sorta fairytale: Tori Amos

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and I'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it with a
bet about us
you said that
you'd take it as
long as i could
i could not erase it

and I'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side you then
and i rode along side
til you lost it there in the open road
and i road along side
until the honey spread itself so thin for me
to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

way up north i took my day
all in all it was a pretty nice day and i
put the hood right back where
you could taste heaven perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back and i
i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like this

and I'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back

a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

i could pick back up whenever i feel
 
Criminal~ Fiona Apple

I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come

Oh help me but don't tell me
To deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love
