I have walked a thousand miles
I have worked as fast as I can
And I have raised my precious child
To be a woman

I have walked up and down
I have wandered from place to place
And I have raised my weary hand
To my face

But I would never
Turn my back
On your love

Is there anybody there who knows me?
Is there any body there who knows me now?
That I will be home soon

But I would never
Turn my back
On your love

When the sun is going down
There are colors against the sky
And I have seen my home town
In your eyes

But I would never
Turn my back
Yeah, I'm learning
To face the facts

And I'd never
Turn my back
On your love

Your love, your love
Your love, your love

No, I'd never
Turn my back
On your love, your love
Your love, your love

This song by Lila Downs has been making me weep uncontrollably

And now i'd like 2 turn your heart 2 a tale of sheer delight
A song of adulation, love and fear
No one loved him better, no one better sacrificed
She gave her angels that summer night

Fate as she designed it took her from her man
Destiny and love don't always go hand in hand (hand in hand)
As the world lay waiting like an embryo in a womb
She gave her angels that night in june (she gave her angels)

She gave her angels 2 a man because her man had none
2 watch over him till she returned - her man, her lover, her son
Her father 4 all these things he meant 2 her, she felt it right
She gave her angels that summer night {x2}

So low, the curb looks like a skyscraper
So high, the stars are under me
So quiet, i can hear the blood rushing through my veins
So low, i feel like i'm going insane
The angels, they watch in wonder
When u made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder
U cried in ecstacy

And u were so kind
I felt sorry 4 all creation
Because at the time, no 1 was lucky
No 1 was lucky, no 1 was lucky as me

And now u're gone and i just wanna be still
So silent, i'll just let my senses sleep

It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If i ever learn once more 2 speak

I'm so lost, no 1 can find me
And i've been looking 4 so long
But now i'm done
I'm so low, solo, my name is no 1

There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since

He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah

I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please? "

He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh

There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on

I tell you that it's been a long
And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come

Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong

Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has
It's been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe

This evenin' my change is come
Yeah, I tell you that my change is come

With eyes that fall somewhere between rubies and stars

This entire CD suits my mood

Well sometimes i go out by myself
and i look across the water
and i think of all the things..... what you’re doing
and in my head i paint a picture.

-’cause since i’ve come home, well my body’s been a mess
And i miss your ginger hair and the way you like to dress.-

ooh won’t you come on over, stop making a fool of me, why don’t you come on over

Did you have to go to jail, put your house out up for sale, did you get a good lawyer.
hope you didn’t catch a tan,hope you find a right man who’ll fix it for you.

Are you shopping anywhere,

Change the colour of your hair and are you busy?

did you have to pay that fine, that you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy.
well since I come home, well my body’s been a mess, and I miss your tender hair, and the way you like to dress.

ooh won’t you come on over, stop making a fool of me, why don’t you come on over

Great CD!!!!! Love it!

Girl, where's your head full of lead?
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Wipe that disgrace off your face
Look and see what you've done to me

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
So what's the deal?
Don't you feel what i'm dealing with?
But it's alright

Girl, come on, I'll show you how to deal with this.
But not tonight.

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Never a dull situation, we could just stay on vacation

Never start an argument with you
Something I won't do

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Now that I have your attention

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen,
'Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?
So if you're asking me, I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

[Verse 2]
Don't be afraid of taking my beating,
I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface,
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

[Bridge]
Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags goes up,
Churning and burning, they yern for the cup.

They deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the turns,
Their prowless is podent and secretly stern.

As they speed thru the finish the flags go down.
The fans get up, and get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup,
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.

Yeah!

No trophy, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine.
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster truck force.
In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping time that her memories will fade,
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse!

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance...

I love me some CAKE! I saw them live in Colorado. It was great!
This is one of my faves from them. (NSFW)

She work it girl, she work the pole
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin' makin'
Look at the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch it, make you want to taste it
Have you lustin' for her, go crazy face it
She's so much more than you're used to
She know's just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in you're lap till you're ready to pop

She always ready, when you want it she want it
Like a nympho, the info
I show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin'
If you want a good time, she gone give you what you want

Baby this a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me

In her fantasy, there's plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin',
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I'm ready to roll
I'll be in this bitch till the club close
What should I do, one thing on all fours
Now that that shit should be against the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I do to you
Let's get it poppin' shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen

Baby this a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
She wants it, she wants it
She wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, she wants it
She wants it, I got to give it to her

Baby this a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying

Angela Davis: "And now of course, that the welfare system has been disestablished - and there are no jobs, so to speak - for, for women who are told, that if they don't work... they can only get welfare for a certain period of time and then they have to find a job. Now they haven't had the opportunity to go to an institution like this. They may not have the skills. Where are they going to find a job? And if they have children, how are they going to pay for childcare, in order to guarantee the conditions which will allow them to work?" ~ ("The Prison Industrial Complex")

Baby, baby, baby,
from the day I saw you,

There's something special 'bout you.
I must really like you,
'cause not a lot of guys are worth my time.
Oh. Baby, baby, baby,
It's gettin' kinna crazy,
'cause you are takin' over my mind.

And it feels like ooh...
You don't know my name

You don't know my name.
('Round and 'round and 'round we go, will you ever know?)

Baby, baby, baby
I see us on our first date
You doin' everything that makes me smile
And when we had our first kiss
it happened on a Thursday
and, ooh, it set my soul on fire
Ooh, baby, baby, baby
I can't wait for the first time
My imagination's runnin' wild

And you'll never know how good it feels to have all of my affection
And you'll never get a chance to experience my lovin'
'Cause my lovin feels like ooh...

Simple Kind Of Life

For a long time I was in love
Not only in love I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I'm hunting you down

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very for time
Would it start all over again?
Would i try to make you mine?

I always though I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all those simple things are simply too
complicated for my life
How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple thing
A simple kind of life

that song had just came out when i broke-up with an ex-boyfriend, i listened to it over and over. i was so depressed!

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
Ill show them to you and youll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And youre the best thing that hes ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When hes standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one-
