I Would Die For You

He buried her heart still
He buried her on her own
By the cool ferns
In the rained on river bed

He took her in his arms
He carried her ghost
Through grey stone fields
He could feel her float

She said, “I would die for you"
“I would die for you”
And it all came true
It all came true

A love so dark
Against that moon
With a silken cord
She spoke too soon

She said, “I would die for you"
"I would die for you”

When he first laid eyes on her
It was like a curse
He felt his heart rise
And gravity in reverse

Her eyes full of hope
Her voice full of mourning
And her lips as red
As a shepherds warning

She said, “I would die for you"
“I would die for you”
And it all came true
It all came true

He lay her down
In the gentle earth
And kissed her eyes closed
Like it didn’t hurt

She said, “I would die for you"
“I would die for you”

I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
And it all came true
It all came true

The Way It Ends

Run
Is this to be our fate
Hide
Freedom is ours as long as we escape
We walk in the shadows
We do
Find out what we all know
Our time is near

This is the way it ends
Don't tell me it's meaningless
There'll be no compromise
We fall in we too shall rise
You held me and taught me how
I think I am ready now
If this is the way it ends
This is the way it's meant to be

We will be spilled in blood
And this is the way that they'll remember us
Emerge from the shadows
We will
Emerge from the shadows

This is the way it ends
Don't tell me it's meaningless
There'll be no compromise
We fall in we too shall rise
You held me and taught me how
I think I am ready now
If this is the way it ends
This is the way it's meant to be

Under my skin they fade away
Here's to life with no regrets
See you again all one day
Give me love or give me death
Can anyone ever really say

This is the way it ends
This is my life begins
If this the way it ends
Nothing is meaningless
There'll be no compromise
We fall in we too shall rise again
This is the way it ends
Then this is the way it's meant to be
This is the way it's meant to be

[McKenna]

Well, I'm going to see you soon in Amsterdam
I can't believe I can get there, but I can, man.
I hope when I see you, that you'll still like who I am, I am.
But if you don't, baby, I'll still tell you that I understand.
I'll tell you I, I, I understand.
I'll tell you I...

I'm going to see you in a foreign land
I've packed my bags, oh lord, I'm a traveling man, man.
I hope when I see you, you'll still like who I am, I am.
But if you don't baby, I'll still tell you I understand.
I'll tell you I, I, I understand.
I'll tell you I, I, I understand.
I'll tell you I....

If you don't baby, I'll still tell you I understand.
I'll tell you I, I, I understand.
I'll tell you I, I, I understand.
I'll tell you I...

Dads Gonna Kill Me

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead
Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head
Another day that could have been me there instead
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Dad's Gonna Kill Me

You hit the booby trap and you're in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases
Old Ali Baba, he's a different species
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Dad's Gonna Kill Me

I'm dead meat in my HumV Frankenstein
I hit the road block, God knows I never hit the mine
The dice rolled and I got lucky this time

Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Dad's Gonna Kill Me

I've got a wife, a kid, another on the way
I might get home if I can live through today
Before I came out here I never used to pray
Nobody loves me here
Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dad's in a bad mood, Dad's got the blues
It's someone else's mess that I didn't choose
At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News
Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Dawn Patrol went out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll be shovelling bits of you into a sack

Dad's Gonna Kill Me.

And who's that stranger walking in my dreams
And whose that stranger cast a shadow 'cross my heart
And who's that stranger, I dare speak his name
Must be old Death a-walking
Must be old Death a-walking

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

7 muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing waiting for The Sandbox to blow
Sitting targets in the wild west show

Nobody loves me here

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Another angel got his wings this week
Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly,
With his song telling my whole life
With his words,
Killing me softly,
With his song
[LAURYN]
One time, One time, (one time) hey yo L you know you got the lyrics
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(one time,one time)
Singing my life with his words,
(two times. two times)
Killing me softly with this song,
Killing me softly,
With his song, telling my whole life,
With his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters then read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on-
Strumming my pain with his fingers, (One Time, one time!)
Singing my life with his words, (Two Times, two times!)
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly
With his song,
Tellin' my whole life
With his words,
Killing me softly, with his song
[CLEF]
Yo L-Boogie, boy L boy L, take it to the bridge
[LAURYN]
(busted)
Wooahhh......woooooahh.....la la la la la la ....wooooah.. laaaaahhh... woooah..laaaaahhh Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Yes he was Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
[Lauryn fading out]
Strummin' my pain
YEAAA yea yeaaaaa

[honeybeez]

I'm living with your memory
In the attic in my mind
And you've been getting by without me
But I've been spending all my time
With a girl that I remember
Who'll never leave or need to grow
Cos when you left you left your memory
Now it's the only thing I know

When the past gives me no comfort
And though the future is the cost
The way I'm choosing to remember
I'll forever be the man I never was

And you, you fade
But the memory remains the same
And I, I can't change
And I think that living with your memory
Is slowly driving me insane

You are perfect but you're empty
And it gets so lonely in my mind
Cos your image in my memories
The only shred of you that's left behind
You were real but then you left me
And that's the part I can't accept
So I'll keep on living with your memory
Because it's all that I've got left

[Harry Leg]

Little Pieces

There's a piece of me you can't have
And I know it's driving you mad
There's a part inside you can't reach
I'm afraid that's the way its gonna be
There's a part of you that wants to fight
But I never really had the appetite
I fear my feelings wont speak
Words are already taken upon the breeze
Wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Now it felt so complete
Pieces falling from me

Though you try your best you never find
There are pieces that are left behind
Last piece of the jigsaw
While the others are scattered across the floor
So you try to get them all up
There are pieces falling in the dust

There's a pile of ash we don't need
Leave it to be taken upon the breeze
Wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Now it felt so complete
Pieces falling from me

All this background noise
Its crowded
Never tell
Its half the reason why they're there
Its hard to make another plan

Theres a fine line what you want and what you need
Standing right there in between
Never been there
Never

La la la la la
La la la la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
Laaa

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Never felt so complete
Never be what you need
Something missing from me
That i'll never complete
There the last ones complete
Pieces falling from me

[Harry Leg]

Salt In The Wound

I want to disappear
Far from the folks I know
I want to get an answer
To why I was even born
No one here can tell me
What's been haunting me all my life
Well this rat race has left me limping
Cause I balanced on the edge of the edge of the knife

Why am I here?
Oh what should I do?
Well is this the point I'm trying to prove?

If there's a god in my head
Then there's a devil too
How can I tell the difference
When they both claim to be true
Maybe God is God
Maybe the Devil is me
Well I just throw my chains on
And tell myself that I'm free

Chains - are they really there?
Is this just in my head?
Well I'll just stay in bed

Life sure has its meaning
Over years I have postured the sun
Thieves and preachers robbed me
For many hat that I've hung
Now with my heart wide open
I listen to the wind just for a word
Sure, I know it's futile
But that's all I have in this world

To look down from the hill
And howl at the moon
All the tears I cried never salted any wounds
Well the earth is so tender and cruel
Well if you're not there it's still so beautiful

[Harry Leg]

All Love


When I push the sheets away from your face
And watch you sleep all day here
And when I push you away
And say you simply cannot stay here

Well it's all love, all love
It's all love, my stupid love

When I say you take away
The most important parts of me with you
And when I've had the grayest day you add more gray
It's just your way, it's true

But it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, my stupid love

You can't be the one to kill the pain anymore
You let me in but then you slam my fingers in the door
I've had enough but I keep asking you to give me more
When I say that there's no way

But it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, all love
Oh, it's all love, my stupid love

It's all love, all love
(It's all love, it's all love)
Oh, it's all love, all love
(It's all love, it's all love)
Oh, it's all love, all love
(It's all love)
Oh, it's all love, my stupid love

[kimbalee]

Fallin'


I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With you

Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Oh, oh, I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure?
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/alicia...n_-lyrics.html ]

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Oh baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fall

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

I'm fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

I'm fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
What?

Calling Me

When the rest of the world is asleep

Do you remember that night when you and me
Pulled down the steeple of ash
The rain was coming down, I was filthy and black
Sometimes I feel that my time
On earth is sorta defined
And my life is calling me
And my life is calling me

And I wonder what else it could be

There are times when I see and don't see
Sometimes I feel that I'm changed
By those women on the hill in the rain
In this vision of earthly decay

I see that time will bear us all away
But I'm sad I won't be here to see it fade
And my life is calling me
And my life is calling me
And my life is calling me

And I wonder what else it could be

[honeybeez]

Wonderful - Annie Lennox

I wanna have you
'Cause you're all I've got
Don't wanna lose you
'Cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn't give me anything
When you're not here ...

Idiot me
Stupid fool
How could you be
So uncool?
To fall in love with someone who
Doesn't really care for you
It's so obscure...

But I feel...
Wonderful
Yes I feel...
Wonderful

God, it makes me be so blue
Everytime I think about you
All of the heat of my desire
Smokin' like some crazy fire
Come on here
Look at me
Where I stand
Can't you see my heart burnin'
In my hands?
Do you want me?
Do you not?
Does it feel cold baby?
Does it feel hot?

I wanna hold you
And be so held back
Don't wanna need you
But it's where I'm at
Thinkin' bout you every day
How come I was made that way?
It's so surreal...

But I feel... wonderful
Yes I feel ... wonderful

[Harry Leg]

Into the Mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't want to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic

[honeybeez]

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say...
It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me

Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

[Harry Leg]

Got It Lost It

Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you
Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you

Why this hurt inside my head?
Nothing can keep you throw it back instead
Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you
Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you

Why this pain inside my heart?
Nowhere to run lets take it back to the start
It's in my heart, it's in my head
It's in the shape of a false feeling
It's in my heart, it's in my head

Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you
Think you caught it, think you got it
Think you lost what you had, will never get back to you

Why this stain upon my thoughts?
I feel it hunting me in my dreams
It's in my heart, it's in my head
It's in the shape of a false feeling
It's in my heart, it's in my head

[Harry Leg]

For You

Put my thoughts together as I wrote you this letter in my room,
On a crumpled piece of paper there were 3 words addressed to you,
It's alright, it's alright now don't panic too soon,
'Cause my love, well all my love is there for you,
For you, It's all for you.
It's all for you.

Now the blood-red sky is reflecting like last nights rain.
And i'm starting to think that there's not enough ink on the page.
I hope, hope that you, know the truth.
My time, my effort my soul it's all for you, for you
It's all for you.
It's all for you.

And I know sometimes I seem sad,
blue and grey.
But I don't think this time for you has been a waste.
'Cause it was all for you.

It was all for you.
It was all for you.

It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you

[kimbalee]

Get Here
Oleta Adams

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer

(interlude, then repeat bridge)

You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can.

[Harry Leg]

Drifting Further Away

Don't go too deep into the flood
Don't wade too long, you'll poison my love
Don't shut me out,don't hold it all in
Don't let my venom get under your skin

'Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour you're drifting futher away

Come make your peace, come find your way
Come lay your wreath at the alter of change
Don't lose your step, don't break the bones
Don't shoulder the burden out there on your own

'Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour you're drifting futher away

Don't banish me then bid me home
Then tell me where I came undone
Don't harbour love like it's all your own
Then linger over what you've done
Don't sink underneath the weight of
when you're trying to carry way too much

And you never should have let go
You could have joined in the whole show
I never should have let go
I never should have let go

'Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour you're drifting further away....

[Harry Leg]

With The Notes In My Ears

Oh the ones I often dreamt of with the notes in my ears.
And the ones I often mimicked,
With the notes on my fingers.
Ooh. Ooh.

And my bed is on the floor, yes my bed is on the floor.
Of one of the ones I often dreamt of with the notes in my ears.
And thats why I know that I can say Im lucky today.
And thats how I know that its time to be brave.
Ooh. Ooh.

[honeybeez]

Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again...

[honeybeez]

How did you get here
nobody's spose to be here
i've tried that love thing for the last time
my heart says no no
nobody's spose to be here
but you came along and changed my mind

i've spent all my life
on a search to find
a love who'll stay for eternity
that heaven sent to fulfill my needs
but when i turn around
agian love had not been found
my heart got broke and oh it hurt so bad
i'm sad to say love wins again

so i place my heart under lock and key
to take some time and take care of me
then i turn around and you're standing here

this time i swear i'm through
but if only you knew
how many times i've said those words
then fall again when will i ever learn
so many tears i've cried
this lovely black butterfly
must take the chance and spread my wings
love can make you do some crazy things

how did you
how did you get here
nobody's spose to be here
i've tried that love thing for the last time
my heart says no no
nobody's spose to be here
but you came along and changed my mind

[Harry Leg]

Graveyard

The graveyard, the graveyard all full of light
The only age, the beating heart is empty of life
Dirt and grass, a shadow heart; the moon sails past
Blood as ice is an empty crisis, lonely it lies

Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life

Roots and lies, roots and lies, our family tree is old
From there we climb the golden hill, calmly will eternity
I held your heart, a giant wand; all tell of sorrow
And history begins to be blue and brown eyes

Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah, bring 'em all back to life

[Harry Leg]

All I Want

All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure

When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side

But If you loved me
Why did you leave me
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
All I need is
To find somebody
To find somebody

'Cause you brought out the best of me
A part of me I'd never seen
You took my soul wiped it clean
Our love was made for movie screens

But If you loved me
Why did you leave me
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
All I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody

If you loved me
Why did you leave me
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
All I need is
To find somebody
To find somebody

Like you

[Harry Leg]

Sweet Dream

If I could write out my own dream
For the next time that I sleep
You'd be the first one that I see
And I the last one that you keep

And the dream would go on and on
While we sway against all things thrown our way
And the morning would be so cruel
When it came with sunshine and warmth to blame
For announcing the end of my sweet dream
For announcing the end of my sweet dream

[Harry Leg]

Trapped In The New Scene

She was thrown from her throne
And landed alone
In garbage bag trees
Feeling so used
She opened some books
Her foundations shook
All that it took
To feelings so used

Fathers conspire
To hang us from wires
Keep swingin' higher
From garbage bag trees
You're groundin' me now
Sweat in my brow
Eye your own prize
Quit feelin' so vague

I've been so lonesome
With you my darling
I've been so lonesome, she said
Trapped in the new scene
I've been so lonesome
With you my darling
I've been so lonesome, she said
I've been so lonesome, she said
Trapped in the new scene
