Ever The Same - Rob Thomas

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Suddenly I See.... KT Tunstall

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire

Suddenly I see

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see

KT Tunstall Lyrics

KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
To me.

Idaho - Nerina Pallot

In the back of a car on a road in the dark
In the stillicide, silently falling snow
I have packed everything that I own in a bag
And I’m driving, I’m driving to Idaho.
A poem for leaving, a reason to go
So I’m driving, I’m driving to Idaho

Cause I can’t be anyone but me, anyone but me.
And I can’t keep dreaming that I’m free, dreaming that I’m free
I don’t want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet
My hands are on the wheel so I’m driving to Idaho.
Cause I hear it’s mighty pretty...

And oh, I’ve been dumb, I’ve been perfectly beautiful
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth.
But I’m sick of you all, and I’m sick of opinions
And I’m sick of this war I wage on myself...
I don’t know why I’m so gripped to go there –
A universe riddle that only I know?
Mr Robert he says, ‘It’s all in the head!’
Tell me, Phaedrus, what’s good, is it Idaho?

Cause I can’t be anyone but me, anyone but me.
And I can’t keep dreaming that I’m free, dreaming that I’m free
I don’t want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet
My hands are on the wheel so I’m driving to Idaho.
Cause I hear it’s mighty pretty...
In Idaho.

Prisoner in Disguise... Linda Ronstadt

You think the love you never had might save you
But true love takes a little time
You can touch it with your fingers
And try to believe your eyes
Is it love or lies

So you're keeping your distance
A little bit of room around you
But if he doesn't return your call on time
Oh my my
You just act like a fool on a holiday
There's nothing that you wouldn't try
You must be a prisoner in disguise

Well this night life is my life
But there's no one else in it
And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow
But it's no show so you might as well go
If you think you could win it
Without losing and letting it show

The city is no place to hide in
Everybody knows your number
And you know that you could never be alone if you tried
You just run like a man with no reason to run
And no place to ever arrive

You must be a prisoner
Look just like a prisoner
Well you must be a prisoner in disguise

NIKKA COSTA: I Gotta Know

I gotta know
If I give my heart to you
That everything you say is true
And everything you say you'll do you'll do

I gotta know
If I bare my soul right here
You'll never run or disappear
You'll hold me till the hours turn to years

And I gotta say
My heart has never been so sure
You've mended every piece that tore
And now my love's too strong to tear away

So I gotta know
If you feel the same my dear
Let's justify why we are here
Say the words that I long to hear...

'Cause I've been so strong for so long
I never needed anyone
But my strenght is wearing out my heart
So I'm letting my guard down
'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody
But I gotta know

I gotta know
You'll still kiss away my tears
Even if they make no sense
Even if they put you on defense

I gotta know
Throught the times when it gets rough
That our love will be enough
And we'll never let it go

I know only time will tell
But I need to hear it anyway
'Cause now my love's too strong to tear away

In all the right places
Lisa Stansfield



If you take me straight to heaven
I could never fall
’cos loving you is what I’m made for
I’d gladly give my all and all
It doesn’t matter where I am
As long as I’m with you
You can take me high above
Whatever I’ve been dreaming of

Chorus:
In all the right places, it’s feeling so good
In all the right places. just like it should
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you

If we’re dancing all alone
Or in a crowded room
When you wrap your arms around me
You can always send me to the moon
When we kiss our sugar kisses
And the music starts to play
We’ve got love, we’ve got each other
And we’re going all the way

Chorus

Find time’s never wasted, when it’s ours to kill
I know in all the right places, you’re touching me still
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you

And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
I love you

Electric Six-Dance Epidemic

Every minute you dont give it to me
I'm dyin' for your sins on the dance floor
Can't you see?

[chorus]
You know it's still on my mind

Robin Beck: The first time

First time, first love, oh what feeling is this
Electricity flows with the very first kiss
Like a break in the clouds and the first ray of sun
I can feel it inside something new has begun
And it's taken control of my body and mind
It began when I heard I love you
For the very first time
For the very first time

This life, this love, oh this sweetness I feel
So mysterious yet so incredibly real
It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door
But ya got to reach out and ya gotta explore
Even though you're not sure
Till the moment arrives
There she is and you know
You're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time

And baby when I met you
Every feeling I had was new
I don't think there are words
To describe the sensations

It's an unchartered sea, it's an unopened door
But ya got to reach and ya gotta explore
And when something's happens
That words can't define
Only then do you know you're in love
For the very first time

Valentine moon: Jools Holland & Sam Brown

Cette fois que tu m'embrasse, au bout de notre rue
Les lampes de gaz nous allumiere, toi et moi jeunes amants

Je t'aime beaucoup mon amour

"Anything But Ordinary" Avril Lavigne

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rahter be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Did We Not Choose Each Other....Sophie B Hawkins

I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
You've launched a secret heart with your face
You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me
Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea

Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save

I drew a hard line but I just can't see it
Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit
I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself
I want your love and I need your help

Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save

Can we not judge each other
I'd rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart til the end
But I just can't choose the way

Just because we live like dolphins together
So many reasons to break the wave
We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whatever
We can be kissing in the rain

Can we not judge each other
I'd rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart til the end
But I just can't choose the way

Listen baby listen baby
Don't you do me wrong
I can my my bed
You can sing your song
Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine
If it's truth you seek
Then darling
Love you'll find
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Take your pain away
It isn't yours to give
It isn't mine to save
Here's my heart
Here's my hand
Here's my soul
Take it in
Take it apart
Take it easy
Let it go

I'll Be Home - The Skydiggers

Well I'll be home before the morning, baby
I know you'll be staying up all night
And I'll be home before the sun comes rising
I'll walk down your road until I see your light

Well I know that you maybe kind of missed me baby
I know that I can't live without you
Well I know that we maybe had some tough times
But I'm coming home just to be with you

So try and get a good rest
'Cause we're not gonna sleep
No we're not gonna want to sleep today

Well I went out west to get away from the city
I found out this city is my home
And I'd be lying if I said I didn't ever think of you
'Cause you've been on my mind and you're the reason that I'm home

So try and get a good rest
'Cause we're not gonna sleep
No we're not gonna want to sleep today

"I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today" (Guster)

I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or its gone forever, far away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on
Then you start to fall
But then you rise
and shine forever
Don't go away
I hope tomorrow is like today

The Cure - From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea Lyrics

Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
I know this can't be wrong i say
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
As long as i know that you know
That today i belong
Right here with you
Right here with you...
And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So i try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye...

I've never been so
Colourfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all i want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay
Not just for today

Never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did i say?
But it's just rain i smile
Brushing my tears away...

I wish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years i've cried over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?

Why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as i'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...

I wish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years i've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again...

Come Away With Me~Norah Jones

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee kigh
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

(thinking of you )

Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary by Henry Purcell

The Queen's Funeral March (Procession) (instrumental)

Man that is born of a woman
hath but a short time to live,
and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down,
like a flow'r;
he fleeth as it were a shadow,
and ne'er continueth, in one stay.

Canzona (instrumental)

In the midst of life we are in death,
of whom may we seek for succour
but of thee, O Lord,
who for our sins art justly displeased?

Yet, O Lord, O Lord most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains
of eternal death.

Canzona (instrumental)

Thou knowest, Lord,
the secrets of our hearts,
shut not Thy merciful ears unto our pray'rs;
but spare us, Lord most holy,
O God most mighty.

O holy and most merciful Saviour,
Thou most worthy Judge eternal,
suffer us not, at our last hour,
for any pains of death,
to fall away from Thee.

Spare Thy people
whom Thou hast redeem'd
with Thy most precious blood,
and be not angry with us for ever.
Spare us, good Lord.

The Queen's Funeral March (Recession) (instrumental)

Cold Water: Damien Ryce


Cold, cold water surrounds me now
all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now,
Or am I lost?

No one's daughter allow me that
And I can't let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
or am I lost?

I love you
Don’t you know I love you
And I always am
Hallelujah
Will you come with me?

Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me?

Am I lost with you?

Piano Man - Billy Joel

It's nine o' clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin.
He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes,
But it's sad and it's sweetAnd I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Da da da da de de daDa da de de da da

Sing us a song you're the piano man,
Sing us a song tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody.
And you've got us feelin' alright.

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke
Or to light up your smokeBut there's someplace that he'd rather be.
He says "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"
As a smile ran away from his face.
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place."
Da da ...

Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
Who never had time for a wife.
And he's talking with Davy
Who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life.
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone.

Sing us a song, you're the piano man,
Sing us a song tonight.
Well we're all in the mood for a melody.
And you've got us feelin' alright.

It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday,
And the manager gives me a smile.
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see.
To forget about life for a while.
And the piano sounds like a carneval
Ande the microphone smells like a beer.
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doin' here ?"
Da da ..
Sing us a song ...

"The Wind Cries Mary" - Jimi Hendrix

After all the jacks are in their boxes
and the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
and the wind whispers mary

A broom is drearily sweeping up
the broken pieces of yesterday’s life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind it cries mary

The traffic lights they turn of blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sails downstream
cause the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams mary

Will the wind ever remember
the names it has blown in the past
And with this crutch it’s old age and it’s wisdom
It whispers no this will be the last
And the wind cries mary

"Little Earthquakes" Tori Amos

Yello bird flying
Get shot in the wing
good year for hunter
And Christmas parties
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and I hate
Elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

We danced in graveyards
With vampire till dawn
We laughed in the faces of kings Never afraid to burn
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and i hate
Disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses that safely changed their color

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Give me life Give me pain
Give me myself again

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

Madonna: Skin

Do I know you from somewhere?
Why do you leave me wanting more?
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I've said before?

Put your hand on my skin

Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Touch me, I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing

Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes
I close your eyes

Kiss me, I'm dying
Touch me, I'm trying, ohhh
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time

Put your hand on my skin

I'm not like this all the time

Madonna: Nothing fails

I'm in love with you, you silly thing
Anyone can see
What is it with you, you silly thing
Just take it from me
It was not a chance meeting
Feel my heart beating
You're the one

You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
Cause I've climbed the tree of life
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall

When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one

Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Nothing fails

I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
Makes me want to pray,
Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray

When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one

I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious
Makes me wanna pray
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious
Makes me want to pray

Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails

Undeniably our song

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
