Sea Out: Guillemots

No, Marbella's on the run in her eastern overcoat
Used to wear a lightbulb dressing gown
Turn it on, then tear it down
Before we went to sleep
So Marbella upped and left, a tuba in a treble clef
Couldn't walk, she wouldn't cry
Dreaming was their only time
Dreams are half asleep
When they go sing out, sea out, sea out, sing out, sing out now
Sea out now, sing out now
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sea out now, sing out now
So a washed up carnival has just reduced me to my bones
I never did the washing up
I loved the stains on every cup
They were the only hint I had
Now Marbella's gone astray somewhere in this blackening Milky Way
I used to colour in the holes
Now I leave them blank
Now it's only spaces I have cause to thank
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sea out now
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sing out
Well, Marbella is my guest, I treat her just like all the rest
Whisper fairytales of Neverland
Throw the pennies in her hand
Stroke her hair and tell her I've been cheating
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sing out now
Sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out now
Sing out now, sing out now

Wink and a Smile

harry connick. i could go straight for him...
I remember the days
Of just keeping time
Of hanging around
In sleepy towns forever.
Back roads empty for miles.

Well, you can't have a dream
And cut it to fit
But when I saw you, I knew
We'd go together
Like a wink and a smile.

Leave your old Jalopy
By the railroad track
We'll get a hip double dip
Tip-toppy two-seat Pontiac

So you can rev her up
Don't go slow
It's only green lights and alrights

Let's go together
With a wink and a smile
Give me a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile

Now my heart is music
Such a simple song
Sing it again, the notes never end
This is where I belong

Just the sound in your voice
The light in your eyes
We're so far away from yesterday
Together with a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile

Time Has Told Me ~ Nick Drake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5HsQsmJsRY

Time has told me
Youre a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore.

So i`ll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really dont want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really dont want to love.

Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn.

Your tears they tell me
Theres really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say.

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
til theres no more to hide.

So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really dont want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really dont want to love.

Time has told me
Youre a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore.

In My Life~ The Beatles (as performed by Dave Matthews)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-YIizsMrSE&feature=related

There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more

Excellent rendition!
I am in the mood to celebrate! Leaving for Jamaica in 2 days!

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right

TRAILER CHOIR - Rockin' The Beer Gut

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_YmBp2acdc

There's a million different types of girls all around the world and they're all so beautiful
No one knows any better than me 'cuz I stare so constantly
But I think I met my match last night at the club, she was sippin' on a Bud, hangin' with her friends on a Friday night

Chorus
5 foot something, cherry bomb she had everything going on
The first thing that caught my eye
She was rockin' the beer gut and I love the way she's not ashamed
Rockin' the beer gut well it's just some extra love around her waist
Rockin' the beer gut she's more than hot, she's everything and with the blue jeans a little tight around her butt
Rockin' the beer gut

Well Toby Keith never looked so good hanging out right there on the front of her black t-shirt
As I walked up to the bar and said, "Can I buy you a drink girl?"
She spun me around and grabbed my hand and said, "First things first we're gonna dance, if you can cut a rug boy
After that, well you can."

Chorus
5 foot something, cherry bomb she had everything going on
The first thing that caught my eye
She was rockin' the beer gut and I love the way she's not ashamed
Rockin' the beer gut well it's just some extra love around her waist
Rockin' the beer gut she's more than hot, she's everything and with the blue jeans a little tight around her butt
Pretty little girl's, rockin' the beer gut

Chorus
5 foot something, cherry bomb she had everything going on
The first thing that caught my eye
She was rockin' the beer gut and I love the way she's not ashamed
Rockin' the beer gut well it's just some extra love around her waist
Rockin' the beer gut she's more than hot, she's everything and with the blue jeans a little tight around her butt
Pretty little girl's rockin' the beer gut

Rockin' the beer gut
Rockin' the beer gut

Loving a Hurricane, John Hiatt

You answer questions like a natural disaster
Voices in the wind- you let em call her out
The whole foundation just went flying past her
She puts her heart into it - and you just yank it out

You pulled her love out through the window pane
That's what she gets for loving a hurricane

She could have rode off with some Texas tornado
Some mister twister she could kick up her boot heels with
Could have rode him on down to Laredo
But you flew in from the gulf like a hot wet kiss

You blew her mind fast as a bullet train
That's what she gets for loving a hurricane

Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- it's a shame
Waah waah- loving a hurricane
Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- it's a shame
Waah waah- loving a hurricane

She might have known you'd get her sooner or later
Living in that trailer park down by the sandy beach
Where tides roll in like the big dream generators
Forces of nature, blow everything out of reach

Water in her living room, fire up in her brain
That's what she gets for loving a hurricane

Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- it's a shame
Waah waah- loving a hurricane
Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- it's a shame
Waah waah- loving a hurricane

Waah waah- waah waah
Waah waah- loving a hurricane

Phoenix
Run Run Run

Business calls me
Trouble down the waterfront
You know, i tried to
Now i'm running outta lies
It's a clear view
When all you is gettin' paid
No more favors
I know what we can do about it
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
Contradictions
Get me everything i want
I'll let you know
But i think it's gonna take a while
It's a clear view
Noone's waiting at the door
A million letters
They couldn't make me change my mind
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
How you want i to be
Sittin' by the waterfront
I should be drifting
Far enough to reach the shore
It's a clear view
Don't you underestimate me
No more flavors
I know i can live whitout it
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
If you got to play the game
You got got to do it well
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
& leave those things for someone else
But i like it
I don't even care
If you got to play the game
You got to do it well

Come Here Boy~ Imogene Heap

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TYYjik3Y_k

Its dark in here
Visions are flashing into my head
As I reminisce
My reoccuring dreams and you said

Im falling, falling for you babe,
And my feelings are gettin stronger,
So why dont you stay with me for a
For a little longer

Come here boy,
Oh come here boy,
Come here boy
Oh come here boy

I know that my face
Is only too familiar to your sleep
I can see it in your eyes
I can tell by your body heat

Why are you taking so long
You need to come and find me, honey
To set your mind at rest
And let your dreams run free.

You know, Im no stranger in your dreams

Im craving Im howling Im begging and pleading
Be mine tonight

Oh and Im waiting Im dying, Im wanting and needing
To show you a night

Where Ill be touching and holding caressing and giving you
Your every fantasy
Ill get you dreaming and lusting burning and praying
For more of this ecstasy.

Volcano~ Damien Rice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZduDvIBu3EU&feature=channel

Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for what I give to you
Is just what i'm going through
This is nothing new
No no just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
And like a new disease she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt me down
She's still too young
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me

Blue Umbrella - John Prine

Feelings are strange
especially when they come true
and I had a feeling
you'd be leaving soon
so I tried to rearrange
all my emotions
but it seems the same
no matter what I do.
Chorus:
Blue umbrella
rest upon my shoulder
hide the pain
while the rain
makes up my mind
well, my feet are wet
from thinking this thing over
and it's been so long
since I felt the warm sunshine
just give me one good reason
and I promise I won't ask you any more
just give me one extra season
so I can figure out the other four.
Day time
makes me wonder why you left me
night time
makes me wonder what I said
next time
are the words I'd like to plan on
but, last time
was the only thing you said.
Chorus:

 

[McKenna]

Baby Mine - Alison Krauss

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, Dry your eyes
REst your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the
right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Whyfore and Why
Gordon Lightfoot

When I woke this mornin’, something inside of me told me this would be my day
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I’m on my way
Come on sunshine, what can you show me?
Where can you take me to make me understand?
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain?

And then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky like a candycane delight
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinkin’ what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
So many times now, oh lord I can’t remember if it’s september or july

Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
It’s in the sun above, it’s in the one you love, you’ll never know the reason why

Come on sunshine, what can you show me?
Where can you take me to make me understand?
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain?
So much to lose, so much to gain

Slow Burning Fire~ Skydiggers

My shoulder still burns
Where you touched me last night
You hugged me and walked out the door
We've been pretending
That we're only friends
But tonight we can feel something more.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

You look in my eyes
Just a little too long
Before I can look away
But lately I've caught you
Staring at me
With a new kind of look on your face.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

Just being around you
Is making me warm
One touch and I know that I'll
Melt in your arms
There's no way to stop
This burning desire
'Cause there's nothing as hot as a
Slow burning fire.

Why Do I feel So Sad~ Alecia Keys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJS7ANftfao

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

Oh LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME
I'm in pieces around your feet

And no, don't take back what you said

Just learn to leave it where we left it there



That is why you look so
That is why you look so

That is why you look so mine tonight



She, She's on an aeroplane

While i, i just learned how to stay

You can see it in her eyes

You can see it in her eyes she just came

And yeah it's all very well

It's all very well but is it love



That is why you look so
That is why you look so
That is why you look so mine tonight



Oh LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME

It Doesn't Hurt~ Katie Thompson

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


I know you're good, I know you're right.

I know you mean the best every time you stop by.

Don't know what to say, don't know how to act,

'cause I'm still moved by you

'cause you just have to ask



CHORUS

No. It doesn't hurt, unless I walk.

I don't feel any pain, unless I try to talk.

I don't even cry, unless I open my eyes.

I don't need to kick, or scream, or curse.

No. It doesn't hurt.



You don't have to call to make sure I'm up.

'cause I'm still wide awake

'cause I'm still lost, and shocked

I know you're concerned, I know you're just sick

and I know you'd feel better

if I were over it




CHORUS



I am wind

I am the sand

I am skin

I am a woman and I'm fine

and I deserve the time

to feel hurt




I know you're good, I know you're freaked.

And I know it's safer if you would just let me be

'cause what will you say that you haven't said

the question you ask me

just makes me feel better you left



So it doesn't hurt, unless I move

I don't feel anything, unless I think of you

I don't even cry, unless I open my eyes

I don't need to kick, or scream

Chorus

God Help the Outcast
from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame

Esmerelda
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsie's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see Your face and wonder...
Were You once an outcast too?

God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
God help my people
We look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will

Parishioners
I ask for wealth
I ask for fame
I ask for glory to shine on my name
I ask for love I can posess
I ask for God and His angels to bless me

Esmeralda
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God

Choking on Concrete~Greg Holden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Vtr8i87Do&feature=related

Sorry Im not out,
my pockets feel like holes
I've got nothing I can offer you as I sit here in the cold
It's a story I've been telling for longer than I know
Where did all my riches go?
An inquest I am scared of cos I don't wanna know
I've been walking off my worries
Hoping they won't follow me around and around
But they always find me
Why won't you leave me alone?
I'm terrified of answers so I chose just not to ask
Surely everything is easier when you leave it in the past
But I know that I've been waking Almost every single night
Dripping wet with deep regret
lost in this endless fight
I am falling faster to the ground
Punched at every corner with my arms securely bound
I am waiting for existence to hold me by the hand
Explain that all's not lost for me and make me understand that I am free
My panic gets the upper hand as it tackles with me breath
I can see this is no playground fight It's a battle to the death
I am choking on the concrete with my faced pressed to the floor
The bastards won't defeat me can't you hear me scream for more.

Empty - Ray Lamontagne

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIUSikXex5w


She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

Walk on down the hill
Through the grass grown tall and brown
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
Of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged

Of these cutthroat busted sunsets
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me

Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they're applauding us
The quiet love we make

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged

Well I looked my demons in the eye
Laid bare my chest said do your best destroy me
See I've been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kinda bore me

There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes and some already dead who walk beside you
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well it's the hurt you hide that fuels the fires inside you

The Siddeleys
My Favourite Wet Wednesday Afternoon

The sight of the façade of the Palace Hotel, Southend
With every sense I think of you - it sends me round the bend
"Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars…"
This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours

Please whirl me around
There's no earthly reason
No earthly reason
There is no earthly reason
For darkness after dawn…

It's not that I want to be rich, I just want to be heroically poor
Money may buy happiness, but you can give me more
I want back my favourite wet Wednesday afternoon
I'll take my dreams to the grave with me
If you don't say something soon…

Please whirl me around
There's no earthly reason
No earthly reason
There is no earthly reason
For a boy to burn

The Peak Frean's factory pumping smoke reminds me of the past
Of waking up quite terrified, of always coming last
Are you, like me, looking up at the sky?
Or do you look down as you read?
"The red apples are the sweetest," he said, but green is the colour for me…

Please whirl me around
There's no earthly reason
No earthly reason
There is no earthly reason
For rotting fruit to fall…

The smell of chips on a summer evening in Southend -
With every sense I think of you, it sends me round the bend
"Love that moves the sun in heaven, and all the stars…"
This is just a fraction of what is rightfully ours

Please whirl me around
There's no earthly reason
No earthly reason
There is no earthly reason
For a boy to burn…
