Dirt To Mud
Paul Westerberg

As long as my veins are flowin' with blood
Sure as the rain turns the dirt into mud
Turns the dirt into mud

As long as there's blood in my veins I will search
For as sure as the sun turns the mud into dirt
I'm gonna hurt

And they say a man in pain be well prepared to die
They say a man who hurts won't even try

How long does it take for pain to change to hurt
As long as the sun turns the mud back to dirt

How long will it take for the dirt to change with rain
How long will this hurt choose to stay
As long as my veins are flowing with blood
And sure as the rain turns the dirt into mud

As long...

fool of me

i remember
when you filled my heart
with joy
was i blind to the truth?
just there to fill the space
'cause now
you have no interest in
anything
that i have to say
and i have allowed you to make me feel
i feel so dumb
what kind of fool am i?
you so easily
set me
aside
you
made
a fool of me
tell me why

you
say
that you don't care
but we made Love
tell me why

you
made
a fool of me

you
made a fool of me

i want to Kiss you
does she want you with the pain that
i do
smell you in my dreams
but now
when we're face to face
you won't look me in the eyes
no time
no friendship
no Love

you say don't touch you
i can't touch you no more
can't touch you
anymore
anymore

you
made
a fool of me
tell me
tell me why
you
say
you just don't care
we made Love
tell me why
you
made
made a fool of me
you tell me
tell me why
i feel like such a fool
you
made
a fool of me

tell me why.

Only Lie Worth Telling
Paul Westerberg


Call me when your arms are empty
That's the only way it can be
Call me when you're full of pretty lies
Call me when your eyes are empty and open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through
Only lie worth telling is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling is I'm in love with you

Call me when you think you're leavin'
Hope you know you're not deceiving me again just like you think you should
Call me when your arms are empty and open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through
Only lie worth telling is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you

If you need someone to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
I'm the one who can attempt to be your friend
If you need someone to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
I'm the one who can still pretend

Call me when your eyes are empty and open all night

You lied enough
open wide enough
To drive a truck straight like a knife
Only lie worth telling is I'm in love with you
I'm the only lie worth telling
I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
I'm the only lie worth telling

Sad song...

At This Moment
Billy Vera & the Beaters



What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more

What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you?
Or say things to hurt you?
Cause you just don't love me no more

Did you think I could hate you?
Or raise my hands to you?
Now come on, you know me too well
How I could hurt you
When darling, I love you
And you know... I'd never hurt you

What do you think, I would give at this moment?
If you'd stay I'd subtract twenty-years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again

I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on, baby
If I could just hold you...again

Whether its a sad song or not it makes me feel gut wrentchingly sad

Bjork:Batchelorette

Bachelorette

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break

Much love Pochacco

Cat's In The Cradle
Harry Chapin

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
The Bee Gees

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.


I also really like the Al Green version.

"Love Ridden" - Fiona Apple


Love ridden, I’ve looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over
So I can’t tonight, baby
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
My hand won’t hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I’m giving up on you
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave

Here Today
By Paul McCartney (for Lennon0

And If I Say I Really Knew You Well
What Would Your Answer Be.
If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

Well Knowing You,
You'd Probably Laugh And Say That We Were Worlds Apart.
If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

But As For Me,
I Still Remember How It Was Before.
And I Am Holding Back The Tears No More.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- I Love You, Ooh-

What About The Time We Met,
Well I Suppose That You Could Say That We Were Playing Hard To Get.
Didn't Understand A Thing.
But We Could Always Sing.

What About The Night We Cried,
Because There Wasn't Any Reason Left To Keep It All Inside.
Never Understood A Word.
But You Were Always There With A Smile.

And If I Say I Really Loved You
And Was Glad You Came Along.

If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- For You Were In My Song.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

No Place For You
Paul Westerberg

Nobody claims to see it coming
Nobody blames you... can't help thinking
A marriage license, a job was waiting
By your mid-30's you feel unholy

No place for you to be a girl
No place for you they closed your world
No place for you to live and grow
No place for you that I know

Approaching mirrors, waiting tables, fix your lipstick
Don't disappoint those who have nothing to do this evening
No day is safe from thoughts of you leaving

No place for you to be a girl
No place for you they closed your world
No place for you to live and grow
No place for you that I know

Just add water someone's done for
I'm getting nervous and there's one more
Just add water someone's done for
I'm getting nervous there goes one more

No day is safe from thoughts of you leaving
Marriage license... can't help thinking
It's all for nothing she's so unholy
Up in the stars now she's getting lonely

No place for you to be a girl
No place for you they closed your world
No place for you to live and grow
No place for you that I know

sincerity

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend
he caresses her hair
(thinks to himself)
such a lovely face
gives his entire self
(shares his secrets)
but it's all in vain
his Love for her drowns him
in a sea of denial
the fear of being alone
will it keep her there?

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

when the morning comes
(he reaches out)
to feel her warmth
she pulls away
(closes his eyes)
he's so ashamed
he's pourin' all the truth
but what a fool he is
to wish for wine in her empty Kiss

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness
and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves
with sweetness and sincerity
while she
may only
pretend

he Loves

he Loves

he Loves

he Loves

bitter

you push me away
bitterly
my apologies fall
on your deaf ears

you curse my name
bitterly

and now your eyes
they look at me
bitterly

i stand ashamed
amidst my foolish pride
'cause for us
there will be no more
for us
there'll be no more

and now
my eyes
they look at you
bitterly

bitterly

bitterly.

I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
There's a lesson to be learned from this
and I learned it very well

Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
For you I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride.

Always running, never caring,
That's the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all.
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

Teddy Bear
Red Sovine


I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Tryin' to reach my destination before the sun went down
The old CB was blarin' away on channel 1-9!
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line

And he said: "Breaker 1-9! Is anyone there?
Come on back, truckers and talk to Teddy Bear!"
Well, I keyed the mike and said: "You got it, Teddy Bear!"
And a little boy's voice came back on the air

"'Preciate the break, Who we got on that end?"
I told him my handle, and, then he began:
"Now, I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there
Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air

But you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk
'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled, and, I can't walk!"
I came back and told him to fire up that mike
And I'd talk to him, as long as he liked

"This was my dad's radio", the little boy said
"But I guess it's mine and mom's now, 'cause my daddy's dead!"
"Dad had a wreck about a month ago
He was trying to get home in a blindin' snow

Mom has to work now, to make ends meet
And I'm not much help, with my two crippled feet!"
"She says not to worry that we'll make it alright
But, I hear her crying, sometimes late at night

You know there's just one thing I want more than anything else to see
Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me!"
"But, you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home
But, I guess that's all over now, since my daddy's gone

Not one breaker came on the old CB
As that little crippled boy talked with me
I tried hard to swallow a lump that just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy back in Greenville Town

"Dad was going to take mom and me with him later on this year, Why,
l remember 'im saying: 'Someday this old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear!'
But, I know I'll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again
But, this old base will keep me in touch with all my trucker friends!"

"Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone
'Cause it's about time for mom to come home
But, you give me a shout when you're passin' through
And I'll sure be happy to come back to you!"

Well, I came back and I said: uh! "Before you go 10-10
What's your home 20, little CB friend?"
Well, he gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate
'Cause this hot load of freight was just gonna have to wait

I turned that truck around on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229
And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one heck of a shock
l8 wheelers were lined up for three city blocks!

Why, I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call
And that little crippled boy was having a ball
For as fast as one driver would carry him in
Another would carry him to his truck and take off again

Well, you better believe I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in and put him down in his chair
And buddy if I never live to see happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day, in the face of that little man

We took up a collection for him before his mama got home
And each driver said goodbye and then they all were gone
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
And said: "So long, trucker I'll catch ya again!"

Well, I hit the Interstate with tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio and I got another surprise
"Breaker 1-9!" Came a voice on the air
"Just one word of thanks from Mama Teddy Bear!"

"We wish each and every one, a special prayer for you
'Cause, You just made my little boy's dream come true
I'll sign off now, before, I start to cry
May God ride with you, 10-4, and goodbye."

crash test who else


What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?

There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy

I've had my lungs checked out with X rays

I've smelled the hospital hallways



Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline

Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime



Times when the day is like a play by Sartre

When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order -

I gave the doctor my description

I tried to stick to my prescriptions



Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline

Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime



Afternoons will be measured out

Measured out, measured with

Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot



Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback

I could change the test results that I will get back

I've watched the summer evenings pass by

I've heard the rattle in my bronchi ...



Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline

Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime



Afternoons will be measured out

Measured out, measured with

Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

Norah Jones, 'Shoot the Moon'

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to be lonely
Was it just the season?

Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over

When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

This one used 2 kill me:

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too you to look like his
My momma went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's gotta take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enought so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone...

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

(c) 1987

"Cry" by Godley & Creme

You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain

You don't know what the sound is darlin'
It's the sound of my tears fallin'
Or is it the rain?

You don't know
You don't know how to play the game
You cheat
You lie
You make me wanna cry
You make me wanna cry
Cry...

You make me wanna cry
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know

You don't know how to ease my pain
Don't you hear any voices cryin'?
That's the sound of my love dyin'
Here comes the rain

You don't know how to play the game
You cheat
You lie
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't know

You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me wanna cry
Cry...

"You Take My Breath Away" by Freddie Mercury
---

Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move
You destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears
With a single sigh
Every breath that you take -
Any sound that you make
Is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you
Anywhere you go, I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you to tell you
That you just take my breath
away

I will find you...etc
I'll get no sleep til I find you to
tell you when I've found you -
I love you

Did I mention how much I LOVE Sade??? Ahhh!

Bullet Proof Soul
by: Sade

i was so in love with you
you rarely see a love that true
wasn't that enough for you
wasn't that enough for you

i would climb a mountain
i wouldn't want to see you fall
rock climb for you
and give you a reason for it all

you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun

hit me like a slow bullet
like a slow bullet
it took me some time to realise it

you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun

i know the end before
the story's been told
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul

you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun

i know the end before
the story's been told
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul

you were trigger happy baby
you never warned me let me free
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
think you got it but you got all the trouble you need
i came in like a lamb
but i intend to leave like a lion

it hit me like a slow bullet
it hit me like a slow bullet

Why


How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel

Swans, 'God damn the sun'

When, when we were young,
we had no history.
So nothing to lose,
meant we could choose,
choose what we wanted then,
without any fear
or thought of revenge.
But then you grew old,
and I lost my ambition.
So I gained an addiction
to drink and depression.
They are mine,
my only true friends,
and I'll keep them with me,
until the very end.
I'd choose not to remember,
but I miss your arrogance.
And I need your intelligence,
and your hate for authority.
But now you're gone.
I read it today.
They found you in Spain,
face down in the street,
with a bottle in your hand
and a wild smile on your face,
and a knife in your back -
you died in a foreign land.
And they found my letter
rolled up in your pocket,
where I said I'd kill myself
if she left me again.
So now she's gone,
and you're both in my mind,
I've got one thing to say,
before I am drunk again:
God damn the sun,
God damn the sun,
God damn anyone,
that says a kind word.
God damn the sun,
God damn the sun,
God damn the light it shines,
And this world it shows.
God damn the sun.
