Beck
Title: Lord Only Knows
Album: Odelay


You've only got one finger left
and it's pointin' at the door
and you've taken for granted
what the Lord's laid on the floor.
So I'm picking up the pieces
and I'm puttin' them up for sale.
Throw your meal ticket out the window
and put your skeletons in jail.

'Cause Lord only knows it's gettin' late
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitate
To give yourself a call
Let your bottom dollars fall
Throwing your two-bit cares down the drain.

Invite me to the seven seas
like some seasick man
You'll do whatever you please
and I'll do whatever I can.
Titanic, fare thee well
My eyes are turning pink
don't call us whent the New Age
gets old enough to drink

'Cause Lord only knows it's gettin' late
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitate
To move on up the hill
There's nothing there left to kill
Throwing your two-bit cares down the drain

yeah

Odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay
odelay, odelay, just passin' through

[lower tone of voice]
Odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay

Going back to Houston
YEAH
to the hot dog dance.
Going back to Houston
WOAH
to get me some pants

Prefab Sprout
Elegance

There are those who own, the world around your own.
And say you want to swan - one to one - Hey kid they own the pond.
There are those who rest, and those who make the beds,
and should you seek redress - can't you guess? Hey child they own this mess.
So if these star-dust memories, fail to please,
if you confuse this dinner dance with elegance,
if you suffer lack of due respect,
take comfort from the guessing game aspect,
that she is least where you expect.
Please be ashamed that you're afraid, equating elegance and real estate.
When all the bullion in the world, cannot transform what's simply second rate.
But will yea no come assess me - Boastfully.
I'll not be bought by your silver plated come to me. So don't you do come try me.
Because these star-dust memories, fail to please.
They're not alike this dinner dance, this elegance, - and if you
want to swan - one to one - Kid you don't need the pond
There are those whose time, is due for steep decline.
If you can't find the spot, where their time stops,
just ask who built the clocks.


Prefab Sprout
Moving The River

You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only good as
The last great thing you did
And where've you been since then
Did the schedule get you down
I hear you've got a new girlfriend
How's the wife taking it ?

If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it by now

You must know me, Father it's your son
And I know that you are proud of everything I've done
But it's the wonders I perform,
Pulling rabbits out of hats
When sometimes I'd prefer
Simply to wear them

If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it and say
My back is broad enough sir to take the strain and it's

Hello mother, it's your son and aren't you proud, of all I've done
But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free, and I can't breakdance on your knee
But it's "stay right there son, baby do", while I is itchin' for something new
So watch me hawkeye and understand the force of will, the sleight of hand
Movin' the river, I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free and I can't breakdance on your knee
Movin' the river, bucket by spoon, and do you think that they'll like me when they learn what I do

Movin' the river, money for jam, and it takes such an effort to stay where I am...

ROCKS OFF
The Rolling Stones
Exile On Main Street

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I hear you talking when I'm on the street,
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.
What's the matter with the boy?
He don't come around no more,
Is he checking out for sure?
Is he gonna close the door on me?
I'm always hearing voices on the street,
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.
I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine.
I can't seem to stay in step,
'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.
Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.
Heading for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming, (only get them off)
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping. (only get them off)

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.
Its all mesmerized all that inside me.
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (only get them off, get them off),
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (only get them off, get them off).

Violent Femmes
Promise


Y'know that I want your loving
but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen
and then my defense'd say I did't want it anyway
but you know sometimes I'm a liar
could you ever want me to love you
could you ever want me to care
disregard my nervousness
please ignore my vacant stares
cause just what I've been thru
is nothing like where I'm going to
give me some sign to persue
a promise
and your unhappy
this is only a guess
do you know what it's like to hate
when it's way down deep inside
oh god I hate what's been done to my life
I could rule the pain
I could rule the night
or would I ruin my salvation
ruin my mind rules your pains
rulers of the night
ruin your salvation
ruin yor mind

Jennifer Lopez ~ "I'm Gonna Be Alright"



Oh, yes
Yes, I did, baby
Yes, I do

It’s funny ‘cause for a while
I walked around with a smile
But deep inside I could hear
Voices tellin’ me this ain’t right

Don’t you know it’s not for you
I always knew what I had to do
But it’s hard to get away
‘Cause I love you, I just tried to stay

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it (Yes, I did)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh, yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’mma be all right (I’mma be all right)

I said I couldn’t do it, but I did it (Yes, I did, baby)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh, yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be all right

Friends of mine say to me
They say you got control over me
You’re not alone, I played my part
I saw the way you were from the start

Could I expect so much from you
You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do
Now I realize I can’t change you

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it (Ooh...)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’mma be all right (Be all right)

I said I couldn’t do it, but I did it (Yes, I did)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh, yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be all right

Said I wouldn’t walk away, some days I want to stay
But leavin’ you is what I need to do to be okay
Never thought it would be true, me livin’ without you
But now it’s time for me to make a move

Ah
Ah
Oh

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it(But I did, baby)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Wasn’t with it)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it (To my eyes)
And I know inside I’mma be all right (Be all right)

I said I couldn’t do it, but I did it (But I did)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Wasn’t with it)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be all right

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it (Oh, no)
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’mma be all right (Be all right, yeah)

I said I couldn’t do it, but I did it
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh, no)
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be all right

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’mma be all right

I said I couldn’t do it, but I did it
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be all right

I used to say I couldn’t do it, but I did it
After tellin’ everybody that I wasn’t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’mma be all right

Golden Parachute

Hey Ay - Hey Ay/Golden Parachute

Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?/Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?/Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?

{repeats throughout song}

Here's 50 million dollars - go'n leave us alone
In appreciation for all the creations we now own
U brought us jazz, rhythm & blues, hip-hop -even soul, oooh
2 own every piece of intellectual property -This is our goal
Oh yes it is (Golden, Golden, Golden)

Here's 50 million dollars, 2 go along with this -boot!
Just keep your mouth shut, and never tell of the plan
The conquer and control of every soul and man

Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
oh oh oohoh
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?

This is a tribute 4 all your accomplishments
The design of a system that allows for tax breaks and benefits

Do ya wanna (sugar) - Golden Parachute?
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?

17 years old, misled by so-called parachute/Down this cold road
Into this web of deception, spiders and snakes and bears
Money made but never spent, never mentioned
Ah let's make a toast, 2 the host, 2 the man with the most

They worship you - all up under U - applauding -
One who in truth created nothing, nothing/In essence - a fraud!

Golden Parachute (repeats until fade)

(2 b honest I feel like the melody, not the words)

Sublime - Ball And Chain

People listen up don't stand to near,
I've got somthin' that you all should hear:
All the lies, all the lies all the lies told to me
form a little part of history.
I was always taught boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay.

I don't feel no pain,
I don't have no time
to listen to conflicting points of view.
Oh, It's a crazy world to live alone.
A ball and chain I call my home,
a ba na na na na whooo!

People listen up don't stand to close,
I've got somethin' that you all should know:
holy matrimony's not for me,
I'd rather die alone in misery.
Because I was always taught boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later sweet baby's on the way.
Isn't that what they used to say?
When a girl you knew,
and the bonds that we grew,
turned into a ball and chain, mmm.
I step into the great unknown,
a ball and chain I call my home,
a-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo!

Crazy world to live alone.

When a girl that you knew
and the bonds that we grew
turned into a ball and chain.
Oh, I step into the great unknown,
on a ball and chain I call my own.
Because marriage doesn't work in the world today.
It's an institution that is in decay
and if I have love I wish to portray,
I will surley find another way.
Because I was always taught that boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way,
kiss him on the cheek and life's okay.

I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time to listen to conflicting points of view
Whoa, I step into the great unknown,
on a ball and chain I call my own,
a-ba-na-na-na-na whooo!

blondie, "pretty baby" (1978)

Stars live in the evening
but the very young need the sun

Pretty baby you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
I was forming some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche
ya' ya' baby "La Dolce Vita" is a magic dance
No one was listening

Pretty baby petite ingenue
teenage starlet I fell in love with you
You you with the comb
You look ok in every way
Ah I should have known you'd look at me and look away oh

Pretty baby you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
Eyes that tell me "incense and peppermints"
Your looks are larger than life
Long live innocence
Petite ingenue I fell in love with you

Uncle Cracker - Follow Me


You don't know how you met me
You don't know why,
You can't turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when I'm with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

don't worry 'bout the ring you wear
just as long as no one knows
Then nobody can care
Your feelin guilty
And I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed
And baby I'm not scared
I'm singing

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
you're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray
We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why,
You can't turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when I'm with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

I'm singing

Follow me, and
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
