Stand Up
03:35
|
|||
|
Open your eyes, but you don't know where you're going
Open your eyes and you don't know where you've been
Open your eyes and there's still no way of knowing
Just how well you fit inside your skin
Stand up and show your face, stand up and make your case
Stand up and take your place, you've got to stand up
Open your hands it's a brand new world you live in
Open your hands there's some work that must be done
Open your hands understand what you've been given
Just so many trips around the sun.
Open your heart it's time that you forgave you
Open your heart it's the least that you can do
Open your heart it's the only thing that saves you
Open your heart it's the only thing that's true

Don't Panic
04:01
|
|||
|
Rummaging around in the attic, rolling around on the floor
Listen for the voice in the static, listen for the knock on the door
Put another slab on the platter, put another lock on the door
It's your birthday so it just doesn't matter if you can't remember who the party is for
Don't panic, it's only memories
Take a little drink to feel better, take a little time to feel sad
Take a look at that old love letter, think about the love you could have had
Sing for the one who never sings, dance and throw caution to the wind
Laugh at the pain that life brings, cry when you touch a lover's skin
On judgement day we stand alone, he backed away from me and then he grinned
The first one who reaches for the stone will be the last one to tell you how he sinned

Come Away
04:54
|
|||
|
He was just a stranger in a long black coat, and I still can't understand
Just what I felt when I looked at him, that blue eyed handsome man
But I fell in love or something like, when he touched my trembling hand
Come away with me, there's a world to see, let me tell you all I've planned
Come away, come away, don't let me go alone
Come away, come away, roll them rattling bones
If you're willing and the creek don't rise we'll be gone before the dawn, Come away
Well we hit the city and it scared me some, but he took it all in stride
He slapped a gold piece on a roulette table and said “Bub, let it ride”
He kept on winning and he kept on grinning and he pulled me to his side
Winked and called me lady luck, and said I'd be his bride
He took his winnings and he took me too, took me to his bed
He loved me once and he loved me twice but never were we wed
Then one day I saw him with a red-haired girl his head next to her head
Whispering words I couldn't hear, but I knew just what he said
So I went back home and they took me in, where else could I go?
I took the shame and I took the blame as I watched my belly grow
A little blue eyed baby boy was born, lord knows I love him so
He smiles at me and I sing to him in a voice so sweet and low.

Talk To Me
02:51
|
|||
|
Talk to me, come on talk to me
No need to be alone, pick up the telephone and talk to me
Poetry's nice if you've got the time
But I don't really care if the words don't rhyme
You don't need to sing it though I like a song
Just say what you think and you won't go far wrong
Talk to me, come on talk to me
We've got all night and we can get it right so talk to me...
Talk to me, Mary please talk to me
You see I got no choice, I like the sound of your voice so talk to me
Sometimes we're close and sometimes we're not
And sometimes these words seem like all we've got
But every time we talk it's like we touch
So keep on talking I can't get too much

All On That Day
04:01
|
|||
|
Somebody said it was the sound of one man talking
Somebody said nobody's got nothing left to say
I thought I heard the sound of Jesus walking
That long hard road we'll all go down one day
And the people will be crying no, no, no all on that day
The people will be singing low, low, low all on that day
Somebody said the dead was only sleeping
Somebody said the living's got hell to pay
I thought I heard the sound of Jesus weeping
Bitter tears we're all gonna cry one day
Somebody said nobody sees the sparrow falling
Somebody said no water turns into wine, this time
I thought I heard the sound of Jesus calling
Calling out names, I hope one of them is mine
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
I hear your words in the wind, and in the rain on the roof
They both tell me I miss you, as if I needed proof
I can't stand the truth so I tell myself a few bright rum-soaked lies
I'm just another lonely boy in this paradise
The island's ferry's engines whine, it's headed for St. Thomas
Like you it runs when it wants to, another broken island promise
They said “give your heart completely,” well that was bad advice
I'm just another lonely boy in this paradise
Don't care if I stay, and I don't care if I go
Don't care about much anymore and I don't care if it shows
They say you'll never die from heartache, well that was just surmise
I'm just another lonely boy in this paradise

Turn Out Delight
03:31

|
Gianni was born on a summer day (poor Giovanni DeSilva)
In the best of all worlds, so his teacher say
He don't know, he don't know. Probably find out in the usual way
Turn out de light
Gianni watch the news, see the world in flames (poor Giovanni DeSilva)
Dead by number but not by name
Food for crow, food for crow. Best of all worlds or a world of shame?
Weeds will grow and hearts will harden (poor Giovanni De Silva)
Best advice is to tend your garden
Watch it grow, watch it grow. Hope for love and pray for pardon

I'm just sitting on this fence, wondering what I don't know
They say look before you leap, I know what they mean
I'm just sitting on this fence watching someone's grass grow
Either side of where I look, the grass is just as green
I just can't make up my, I just can't make up my mind; its fifty-fifty
I'm just sitting on this fence wondering where the time goes
Time is money, money talks, words turn to cliche
I'm just sitting on this fence, Romeo solo.
I'm just rocking back and forth as night turns into day

Lucky Tonight
04:55
|
|||
|
Here is my heart, break it. It's flesh and blood, not stone
Here is your chance, take it or leave me alone
Eyes shut hold tight, now dance (1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3), together we'll stay upright
Love is a game of chance, do you feel lucky tonight?
Do you feel it, do you feel lucky tonight?
Here is my hand, take it. It's cold but my heart is true.
Search for the dream, don't wake; it's a dream for two
Time is all life's made of, and time goes by so fast
But what are we afraid of, it's love that will last

DC People
03:03
|
|||
|
Never had much money in my whole life, and that's nobody's problem but mine
No use crying and whining “Poor me”, sometimes it rains and sometimes the sun shines
DC people went and bought this war, take my money and they throw it away
Coulda done a lot better with 50 million dollars a day
35 kids in a class with no books, take their lunch money away
Then give tax cuts to some corporate crooks, ain't life funny in the USA
DC people went and bought this war, they don't care what you pay
Still, shoulda done better with 50 million dollars a day
Right wing, left wing, neocon, you know it's not one of those
It's just somebody's husband, daughter or son, blinking out the sand, sleeping in their clothes
DC people send your kids to war, while theirs stay home and play
and that's “mission accomplished” in the good old USA

In Spite Of It All
02:58
|
|||
|
In spite of it all the birds will sing
In spite of it all I still wear your ring
When the shadows fall love is everything
Or it's nothing at all when the shadows fall
In spite of my tears the sun will shine
In spite of my tears she's no longer mine
When love disappears nothing's left behind
except for your tears when love disappears
It's part of the pain, a lesson learned,
It's part of the pain, these scars are earned
Let me make this plain, life is love returned
In the fire and rain; let me make this plain

Seasons

She asked me to stay, I said just for today, then I stayed for the month of September
Outside of Des Moines I said I couldn't join any club having me for a member
I stayed in that town while the love lights burned down and autumn turned into November
It didn't take much, just a smile and a touch, brought feelings I'll always remember
The days turned to weeks, now spring flowers peek through the last of the snows of December
I hold her so tight in the flickering light of the winter's last fire's dying ember

Rise Up
03:20
|
|||
|
We will rise up, wake before the sun. We will rise up, work 'til work is done
We will rise up, up before the day, we will rise up.
It's a human race but we're chained in place, chains of silver and of gold.
No one knows or cares how to be free
It may seem cold but what's bought and sold is you and me
Nino intando ukuphakama – we will rise up
We will rise up at the break of day, we will rise up sweep the past away
We will rise up, up before the dawn, we will rise up
Is corporate crime the new paradigm or is it just the same old thing?
The fatal flaw in our humanity?
And what's it worth to watch Mother Earth bleed into the sea?
Nino intando ukuphakama – we will rise up

Feya

Feya, Feya, Feya, eu te amo, Feya, Feya, Feya, amar-me demasiado
Belo como um salgueiro, abrigar-me do sol, equanto sussura o ventos
Cancoes do amor**
**Feya, Feya, Feya, I love you, Feya, Feya, Feya, love me too
Beautiful, like a willow, shelter me from the sun
While the wind whispers songs of love

Love Is
03:42
|
|||
|
Love is a rose and love is a valentine, four letters scribbled on a paper heart
Love is a drug and love is a poor design, love's just a place to start
Here's my suggestion, here's my best guess. Love is the question, the answer's yes
Love is a mixture of fate and pheromones, love is a carrot and a string and a stick
Love's an enigma wrapped in the great unknown, nature's favorite trick
Love is but beautiful, love is your youth; undeniable, indisputable, love is the truth

The Last Time
02:13
|
|||
|
This is the last time I listen to your stories, excuses and alibis
This is the last time I sit wonderin' and worried, waitin' on your next big lie
This is the last time you wrap me 'round your finger, makin' me love you more
This is the last time you say you're gonna linger, I turn my back you're out the door
This is the last time
This is the last time, I know you'll say you've seen it a couple dozen times or more
This is the last time, this time I really mean it like a couple dozen times before
This is the last time I keep the hurtin' hidden, pretending that I just don't see
This is the last time; who do I think I'm kiddin', the only one I fool is me

Please Don't Leave Me
03:51
|
|||
|
Woke up this morning it was too too quiet, too, too quiet for sure
Didn't hear you grumbling, mumbling and stumbling, shuffling round the kitchen floor
Couldn't smell the coffee, went to find my breakfast, all I found was a Post-It note
Two small words said it all; “Goodbye chump” is all she wrote
Please don't leave me, baby don't leave me, please don't leave me this way
Please don't leave me, baby don't leave me, please, please baby stay
If you leave me baby I'll climb up on that bridge, jump down to the asphalt and die
Run around the house carrying scissors, get a big sharp stick and poke it in my eye
We're like Samson and Delilah, Adam and Eve, way back when the world began
You've got everything a man could need, a pension, insurance, and a dental plan

God bless the working man, 'cause what I do becomes who I am
I do what I must, then I do what I can, so God bless the working man
Bless the working woman; the one whose work is never done
And for 78 cents on the dollar, you try that son. So God bless the working woman
I water your fields – Riego sus campos
with my sweat and tears – mi sudor y las lagrimas
when you say grace – cuando dices gracia
do you think of me? - alguna vez piens en mi

Another Poor Boy
04:20
|
|||
|
Up in the morning 'cause I see the sun, down in the evening 'cause the day is done
Let the time go. Do I care? No.
What does it matter if it's day or night, what good's the choice of turning left or right
Such a small thing. Minor mood swing.
So if you see me with my head hung down, it's not that I'm that interested in the ground
Look a little closer see the teardrops start, just another poor boy trying to hide from a broken heart
Bumping my head on a grey cloud ceiling, no words to say, just the way I'm feeling
It's a bad way, such a sad way
What does it matter if I seldom smile, pale skin and red eyes my personal style
And it's all mine. Who needs sunshine?
So if you see me looking kind of grim, no need to wonder what's wrong with him
It's a slow motion train wreck, falling apart; just another poor boy trying to hide from a broken heart
Waiting to see what comes after lonely, maybe it’s better, maybe it’s only the same shit, no? Different day though.
What does it matter what you pick and choose, when all that you get is the Deja blues, the Deja blues, once more the Deja blues
So if you see me and I turn away, it’s just that my world ended yesterday, and I’m too sad to fake it, I’m just not that smart,
I’m just another poor boy trying to hide a broken heart

Wide Open
03:32
|
|||
|
Life goes by in the blink of an eye, don't even try to keep your eyes wide open; life goes by
Third out of four come into this world, another mouth to feed and it's always wide open
Third out of four come into this world
Momma, momma don't forget about me. Open your arms and keep them wide open
Momma momma don't forget about me
Hold onto your heart, keep it wide open
A job is a job and nothing is hard when you're twenty one and the future's wide open
A job is a job when you're twenty one
Burnin' down the road with nowhere to go, step on the gas with the throttle wide open
Burnin' down the road, nowhere to go
Live forever when you're twenty one, watch your money fly with your pocket wide open
Live forever when you're twenty one
But life goes by in the blink of an eye, don't even try to keep your eyes wide open
Life goes by, life goes by.

Stereo Love
04:16
|
|||
|
Never breaking, ever bending, let me be your never ending love
Stereo love
Life is a song that you sang alone
On a single track with one microphone
And you sang it well every pitch and tone but you were waiting
And love is a song that you sang off key,
Hadn't found your emotional Everly
One Y-O-U to L-O-V-E but you were waiting
Love, stereo love
Inspiration steals in quietly
You hear a voice saying “look at me”
And you add your own in harmony, done waiting
The needle drops and the music starts
For the king and queen of broken hearts
Sweet counterpoint with your counterpart, done waiting
|

Sadder Than Sad
03:00
|
|||
|
Try to keep it inside you, try to keep it hidden
Still you're damned if you do, and damned if you didn't
'cause it's written there in the lines on your face
Written there and it can't be erased
It's too good to be true, too true to be bad, it's sadder than sad
Well you're thinking that maybe it doesn't show
You're thinking that maybe no one would know
So you took it outside just for a while
Took it outside and tried on a smile
It's too good to be true, too true to be bad, it's sadder than sad
They say everything passes, only love will endure
They say everything passes, only love is the cure
But now love's just a word for the things that I lack
Now that you're gone and you ain't coming back
It's too good to be true, too true to be bad, it's sadder than sad

Day Is Done
03:48
|
|||
|
It seems the day has just begun though I can see the setting sun
What have I learned, what have I won? All alone when the day is done
With the setting of the sun, again the day is done
What have I learned, what have I won? The day is done
At times our words become confused though to ourselves our thoughts are true
Love's demands go long overdue, something slips away we don't want to lose
What is left for us to say? It seems we said that yesterday
Have our dreams been led astray? Or did we just throw them away?
