No Reply - The Beatles

This happened once before,
when I came to your door, no reply.
They said it wasn't you,
but I saw you peep through your window,

I saw the light, I saw the light,
I know that you saw me,
'cos I looked up to your face.

I tried to telephone,
they said you were not home,
that's a lie,
'cos I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cos you walked hand in hand
with another man in my place.

If I were you'd realise that I
love you more than any other guy,
and I'll forgive the lies that I
heard before when you gave me no reply.

I've tried to telephone,
they said you were not home,
that's a lie,
'cos I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cos you walked hand in hand
with another man in my place.
No reply, no reply.

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
inside my head

Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close,
don't patronize

Don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't
You can't make your heart feel
something it won't
Here in the dark
in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
but you won't
No, you won't
Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't

I'll close my eyes
then I won't see
the love you don't feel
when you're holding me

Morning will come
and I'll do what's right
just give me till then
to give up this fight
and I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't
You can't make your heart feel
something it won't
Here in the dark
in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
but you won't
No, you won't
Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't

Some Birds Blue (Thursday's Child) by Sananda Maitreya:

Thursday's child has far to go
But there are things he needs to know
Thursday's child is wondering why
His apple has fallen from your eye

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?

Thursday's child has love to give
From a heart that's positive
Thursday's child was born to sing
Into your ear the sweetest things

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?

Dreamers begin by opening their mind
And throwing out the doubt they find
Happiness is the freedom to be
Within your sensuality

Thursday's child has far to go
And he still loves you so
Thursday's child has only you
And questionmarks to answer to

Why are some birds blue?
What is the taste of rain?
Why are some birds blue?
And why am I not with you?
With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A....

Nobody of her generation does unrequited love as well as Ms. Ndegeocello.



Outside Your Door

Here I am waiting
Just waiting
Anticipating a chance to run into you
I sit here for hours
One day I even sat through a rain shower
For just a glance
A chance to talk to you
You're probably wondering how I even know you
For now you're just my dream
And when I wake up I hope you talk to me

Here I sit outside your door
Talk to me
I'd be content to just sit here and talk to you
In my dreams you love me and me only
The way you kiss and hold me
Love is what I search and search to find
But until then I'll just dream for the meantime

~Meshell Ndegeocello



Wasted Time

You rarely notice but I hang on your every word
Everything you say
You are much too busy to notice me
You turn and walk away
Into another's arms hopeless ashamed
I wish I could hold you that way
Brokenhearted I dream for you to notice me

Wasted time on loving you wasted time
Wasted time on someone
Who won't love you as much as I
As much as I as much as I as much as I

In my fantasy you are asleep beside me
I feel you breathe
If only I could be there for you
The one that you make love to

Wasted time on loving you wasted time
Wasted time on someone
Who won't love you as much as I
As much as I as much as I as much as I

You rarely notice but I hang on your every word
Everything you say
You are much too busy to notice me
You turn and walk away
Into another's arms hopeless ashamed
I wish I could hold you that way
Brokenhearted I dream for you to notice me

~Meshell Ndegeocello

You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Hall & Oates | Righteous Brothers
_____

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your finger tips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Woh oh, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woh, oh, oh

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
When I reach for you
And girl, you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Woh oh, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woh, oh, oh

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't
Don't let it slip away
Baby, baby, I beg you please
Please, I need your love, I need your love
So bring it on back, so bring it on back

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Woh, oh, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, woh oh, oh

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Woh, oh, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, woh oh, oh

Seems I've played the game for much too long
I let people buy my love and I
Never got to sing my songs for you.

I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love you pay your dues.

Say that happiness cannot be measured,
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
What a joke.

Chorus:

I was not your woman, I was not your friend,
But you gave me something to remember.
No other man said love yourself
Nobody else can.
We weren't meant to be,
At least not in this lifetime,
But you gave me something to remember.
I hear you still say, "Love yourself".

I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love I've paid my dues.

Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
What a shame, who's to blame?


Something To Remember
Madonna
You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
authentic power is service- Pope Francis

Untouchable Face
Ani DiFranco

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you

i could make you happy, you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

2:30 in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
safe haven of the sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down the top 20 country songs

out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
you know i really don't look forward
to seeing you again soon.

you look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
i won't know what to do
i won't know what to say

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

Find a Way To My Heart
Phil Collins
_____

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you

This journey's not easy for you, I know
If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I'll go
'Cos you know, questions are never that easy
And never the same
Well you have the answer believe me
If you have the faith

So find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, well I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you

Time may come, and time may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I'll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around
Without a word being spoken
Without a sound

There's a reason I hide my heart
It's out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to..

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you

This Bouquet
Ani DiFranco

got a garden of songs where i grow all my thoughts
wish i could harvest one or two for some small talk
i'm always starving for words when you're around
nothing on my tongue so much in the ground
nothing on my tongue so much in the ground

half the time i got my gaze trained on your motel door
fourth door from the end
rest of the time my gaze lays like a stain on the carpeted floor
if it weren't for my brain i'd go over and make friends
too bad about my brain 'cause i'd like to make friends.

see the little song bird unable to make a sound
you'd never know she follows her words from town to town
we both have gardens of songs and maybe its ok
that i am speechless because i picked you this bouquet
yup. sure am speechless, but i picked you this bouquet

How could we forget about our hero?



STILL WAITING

All my friends tell me
About the loves they've had
Can't they see what they're doing to me?
It makes me feel so bad
'Cause I'm so alone
And brokenhearted
It ain't like my life is ended
But more like it never started
The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating
I try so hard but don't you know, my patience is fading away

Still waiting
I'm waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Waiting for the love to come around
Oh, love.
Waiting for the love to come around

People say that I'm too young
Too young to fall in love
But they don't know, they really don't know
That's all that I've been dreaming of
'Cause I spend my nights just a-crying
And I spend my days just a-trying
To find that love to call my own
'Cause I'm sick and tired of being alone

Still waiting
Waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
I'm waiting for the love to come around.
(Waiting for the love) Don't you know that I'm waiting
(Waiting for the love) Say..
(Waiting for the love) To come around now

I need somebody to hold on to baby
Waiting and waiting, don't you know that I'm

Still waiting
I'm waiting for the love, sugar
Still waiting
If you're out there girl, please come to me
Still waiting
Don't make me cry no more
Still waiting
If you're out there, baby, please come to me
Still waiting
Wishing and wishing for days, baby
Still waiting
If you're out there, girl, please come to me
Still waiting

Mary Magdalene, by Meshell Ndegeocello

I often watch you the way you whore yourself
You're so beautiful
You flirt and tease enviously I wish you'd flirt with me
Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom foolish I know that's not the life you live
You live alone in a crowded bed never remembering faces
Conversations just a body for the lonely
Spend one night with me satisfy me for free and I'll love you endlessly
I overheard you say you'd give them what they wanted
So give me what I want

Tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one

In a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child with the faith of
Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
Come and I'll set you free into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
And whatever displeases your palate my kisses will wash away
Stay. If you must dance, dance for me
Blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see god so close your eyes and dream
For the world will blind you and I'll judge not so that I may not be judged
Please give me what I want

Tell me I'm the only one
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

I Can't Stop Loving You
Ray Charles
(Words and Music by Don Gibson)

(I can´t stop loving you)
I´ve made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can´t stop wanting you)
It´s useless to say
So I´ll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho´ long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we´ve been apart

(I can´t stop loving you)
I´ve made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can´t stop wanting you)
It´s useless to say
So I´ll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho´ long ago)
Tho´ long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we´ve been apart)
Since we´ve been apart

(I can´t stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(Sing a song, children)
(I can´t stop wanting you)
It´s useless to say
So I´ll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

Unrequited once removed?
