Raining On Sunday

It ticks just like a Timex
It never lets up on you
Who said life was easy
The job is never through
It'll run us 'til we're ragged
It'll harden our hearts
And love could use a day of rest
Before we both start falling apart

Pray that it's raining on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday
Can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we could do
When it's raining on Sunday

Your love is like religion
A cross in Mexico
And your kiss is like the innocence
Of a prayer meant to adore
Oh surrender in much sweeter
When we both let it go
Let the water wash our bodies clean
And love wash our souls

Pray that it's raining on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday
Can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we could do
When it's raining on Sunday

Pray that it's raining on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday
Can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we could do
When it's raining on Sunday

When it's raining on Sunday
When it's raining on Sunday
Let it rain

Nothing in my way: Keane

A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why d'you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?

And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

A tell tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line

And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

The Feeling- I Love it When You Call

I found a switch
You turned it on
I hit the ditch
You carried on
I was so near
Now you're so far
Are you quite sure
Just who you are

Oh I- I- I- hi
Oh you could choose a friend but you don't seem to have the time
Oh and I- I- I- hi
I wonder if you ever get to say what's on your mind
Oh take a little time, come on, take a little time

I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what's the complication
It's our only conversation
And I love it when you call
But you never call at all

(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)

Remember me
I used to be
Your best time buddy
That you couldn't wait to see
We're getting old,
It takes a toll
And hearts getting broken
Lead to people growing cold

Oh I- I- I- hi
I'm flipping with a coin that's got a tail on either side
Oh and I- I- I- hi
I'm gonna be the one who makes you stop and realise
You could have it all
We should have it all

I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what's the complication
It's only conversation
And I love it when you call
But you never call at all

(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)

Yea I wonder where you been
Yea I wonder who you seen
And I hope you find your train
When you do a living and hope it's all it seems

I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what's the complication
It's only conversation
And I love it when you call
But you never call at all

Edie Brickell - Tomorrow Comes


Sleepy eyes
It's time to rise
It must be well past afternoon

I know you
Got a wonderful view
I am familiar with the ceiling

But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
for sure

Don't feel bad
The love that you had
Just goes to prove that you are able

I know you
Got a terrible view
I am familiar with the feeling

But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
for sure
for sure
for sure

Not too far
From where you are
Red leaves are floating from Sebastian

Every day
They fall away
Bright green is coming back in fashion

And when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door

Tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door
And when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door

(I can't remeber the last time I listened to this CD - It's so fucking smooth)


Edie Brickell - Stay Awhile



Stay a while
Stay as long as you can

Alright
I don't mind if I do

Pull up a lawn chair
Take your dreams outside

Alright
I don't mind if I do

Lay low and motor
Motor along

Rest a while
Rest as long
As you need

Alright

Loosen your laces
Let your soles be free

Alright
I don't mind if I do
Oooh

(One more from the same CD- The title track)

Edie Brickell - Picture Perfect Morning

I haven't learned to say goodbye
Hello itself is hard enough
It kills to let a good thing die
And I don't want to see it go bad

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

I won't let myself look at you
And see you like I really do
It's hard to believe
That you're really here
So I just pretend that you're not there

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

And when my plane flew through the rain
It shook the wings and people screamed
But I was so sure that I'd see you again
I was not afraid of anything

just because I'm silly tonight, and I still love this song...

Staind - Epiphany

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i can't take anymore
of this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole
inside your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
yet I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

(A little music for the road)

Doobie Brothers - Rocking Down the Highway

Got those highway blues, cant you hear my motor runnin
Flyin down the road with my foot on the floor
All the way in town they can hear me comin
Fords about to drop, she wont do no more
And I smell my motor burnin
Underneath the hood is smoke
Cant stop, and I cant stop
Got to keep on movin or Ill lose my mind

Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway

The highway patrol got his eyes on me
I know what hes thinkin and it aint good
Im movin so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man, I know I should
I gotta kick in my pedal
Make my ford move a little bit faster
Cant stop, and I cant stop
Got to keep on movin or Ill lose my mind

Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway

Dust in the Wind -- Kansas

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
All my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Oh_____________


Don´t hang on
Nothing lasts forever
but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money
won`t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind)

*Do ya'll remember before Chaka Khan went solo, she was with this band called Rufus? I got this CD and it's fucking great, I don't think that I've listened to it in 10 years.......I was so young when this came out....*


Rufus (with Chaka Khan) ---- Tell Me Something Good (written by Stevie Wonder)


You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that will sure 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
I got something that will knock all your pride aside

Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me
Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah

Got no time is what you're known to say
I'll make you wish there were 48 hours to each day
Problem is you ain't been loved like you should
What I got to give will sure 'nuff do you good

Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me
Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah

Martina Topley-Bird ~ Ilya

Tell you baby
I've been waiting
For so long
I want it over
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating
Placenta fed
Get out of my head
Life's a laugh
When you complain about
The way that I give
All I have to give
You say you want more:
You can't sustain without
You wanna live
But you don't know how

Overthinking,
Smoking and drinking
You're in my head
It's time for bed
One word my lover
I can be hollow
When you say
Goin' away

Cut you in half
See how you feel without
I want you to live
But you don't know how
Am I gone?
I want to be reborn
Thought I was in love
Tell me was I wrong

You know we were wrong together

Ain't it funny, they say it's sunny
And come the cloud:
My inside out
Water bed
In my head
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating

They say it's fine
And then come the storm
No memory of ever feeling warm
I don't mind
The rain and such
But I miss the warm
The warm of your ....

You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
Together
Together
Together
Together
Together

Elvis Presley -- Burning Love


Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
Its burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I dont know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, Im flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

Its coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please wont you help me
I feel like Im slipping away
Its hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving

Lord almighty,
Im burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
Im just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Phil Collins - You'll be In My Heart

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

Let The River Run: Carly Simon

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem

Silver cities rise
The morning lights
The streets that lead them
And sirens call them on with a song

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

We the great and small stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the darkling dawn

It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover

Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem

Like A River
Carly Simon

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale
We divided your railway watches
Between the four of us
I fought over the pearls
With the other girls
But it was all a metaphor
For what was wrong with us
As the room is emptying out
Your face so young comes into view
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
And a pool of light you can walk into

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...

Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
Do you know any more about God?
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin
On the face of the moon?
Have you reconciled with Dad?
Does the rain still make you sad?
Last night I swear I could feel you
Moving through my room
And I thought you touched my feet
I so wanted it to be true
In my theater there is a stage
And a footlight you can step into...

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...

In the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like the spray
In the moment of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubt
'Cause you're already home
Making it nice for when I come home
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night out.
Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true

Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me
And two or three stars we can gaze into...

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you forever
Like a river...

I'll never leave, always just a dream away
A star that's always watching
Never turn away
We'll never leave, always just a thought away
A candle always burning
Never turn away
The moon will hide, the tree will bend
I'm right beside you
I'll never turn away

*this is for my girl and the way she says "baby" with 3 syllables in that twangy southern accent of hers that drives me wild*


Fleetwood Mac - You Make Loving Fun


Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever i go.

I never did believe in miracles,
But i've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But i'm beginning to wonder why.

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And i don't have to tell you you're the only one.

You make loving fun.
You make loving fun.

Rocks in the Ocean-Al Stewart

On a night just like this, in a place far away
He met with a giri in the spring
And something about him just turned her around
As though she were caught on a string
And being so young they held on to each other
To see what the moment might bring
He loved her then in a secretive way
Not showing his care or his need
She stayed beside him and looked to the day
He would somehow begin to be free
In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
This is how they always should be

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

And so he come to depend on her more
Though the lesson was still to be learned,
Taking for granted the gift that she gave
As though it were something he'd earned
And she for her part growing slowly away
From a love that was never returned
Then came the day that he never foresaw
When he woke to find she was gone
He followed her then to the ends of the world
To tell her how much he'd been wrong
But the more he called her, the more she was lost
Leaving only the words of her song

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

He still listens out for her foot on the stair
As he looks for her down through the years
And the friends that he had have all left one by one
For their words weren't reaching his ears
He chooses instead now to wander alone
To a song that only he hears

Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
Keep it in mind,
If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
Don't forget me

My sister could so have written this song about me a few years back...

Lily Allen - Alfie


Oh deary me,
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly half past three
He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see him cos his room is so smokey,
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.

Chorus
Oh I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear, Mon frere.

Oh Alfie get up it's a brand new day,
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid.
Get off your lazy arse, Alfie please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray,
I'm feeling guiltier yeah for leading you astray.
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?

Chorus

Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I'm trying to help you out, so can you stop being a twat.
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat,
And look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap.

Chorus

Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere

Anna Nalick: Paper bag

She don't run from the sun no more
She boxed her shadow and she won
Said I can see you laugh
Through these bottle caps
And this wire around my neck aint
There for fun

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I cant see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her
She smiles like shes so tough
She says
'hey can you talk a little louder,
I don't think my heart is broken enough'

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can't see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Some days I wait in the indigo
Singing that song on the radio
I blame these puddles on the rain
You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today
Gotta keep my cheating strategy
And baby I'm gonna have it made
