Odessa

Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she know it, all I ask before she goes home
She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life

Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
Saving up to, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say

Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose
Taking the kids, driving away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away

And I’ve been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I’ve got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on

She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say

She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away

Beat The Devil's Tattoo

You have forsaken all the love you’ve taken
Sleepin’ on a razor there’s nowhere left to fall
Your body’s aching, every bone is breakin’
Nothin’ seems to shake it, it just keeps holdin’ on

Your soul is able, death is all you cradle
Sleepin’ on the nails, there’s nowhere left to fall
You have admired, what every man desires
Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn

There is no peace here, war is never cheap dear
Love will never meet here, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids, let your demons run

I thread the needle through, you beat the devil tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo

I bled the needle through, you beat the devil tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I bled the needle through, you beat the devil tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo

(Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)

Hold Still

Here we go again
We'll carry on
My only friends
I'll take our chance
Without compromise
There isn't anything left to try

Here we go again
Oh, carry on
But then again
We couldn't take this long
The story goes on file
As if we never were there at all

(Grizzly Bear)

Head First

i'm waiting longing for you
one more night and then i'm gone
it seems so crazy how
that we just only met but i know
i am your visitor
i'm on the other side of your world

my whole world in light
my whole world in light
my whole world in light
head first in love

thunder, lightning and rain
imagine you're lying here again
trying to get me out of here
trying to get me back to you
you were always on the land
i was always in the air

my whole world in light
my whole world in light
my whole world in light
head first in love

it seems so crazy how
that we just only met but i know
i am your visitor
i'm on the other side of your world

my whole world in light
my whole world in light
my whole world in light
head first in love

(Goldfrapp)

Scattered and Small

I was so alive I can only look back
Longer than a legend, larger than a fact
O I was so alive I can only look back
And I was so afraid I have traveled so far
Blaming the horizon, and shouting at the stars
O I was so afraid that I’d come so far
O I was so afraid that I’d come so far
And when it’s all over you wont know
Just when you’re comin’ from when you go
And maybe somebody’s gonna let you down
But you take your chances, if you only learn how

And I was so alone and I’m scattered and small
But you keep 'em on a level
You let the devil on call
O I was so alone now I’m scattered and small
O I was so alone now I’m scattered and small
And when it’s all over you won’t know
Just when you’re comin’ from when you go
And maybe somebody’s gonna let you down
But you take your chances if you only learn how
O I was so alone now I’m scattered and small
O I was so alone now I’m scattered and small

(Amelia Curran)

Sound

Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break its cold
And you hear the gathering sounds

Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds

Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
Leave your suffering heart

Vagabundo

(Bernardo Sassetti Trio)

We Walk

You never alter, you're always you
Everything's breaking, but I don't care
Smash the rest up, burn it down
Put us in the corner 'cause we're into ideas

Take these edges, they're inside out
No one will notice, they're looking elsewhere
We can be honest, we call it off
We've got the choice if it all goes wrong

We walk

You see the changes in things that come
It's how you deal with it when switching off
Make a decision, a precondition
We've got the choice if it all goes wrong

We walk

Where nothing makes you feel good....

We've got the choice if it all goes wrong

We walk
We walk (if it all goes wrong)

We walk
We walk (it makes you feel good, it makes you feel good)
We walk
we walk (when it all goes wrong)

Chelsea Girls

Here's Room 506
It's enough to make you sick
Bridget's all wrapped up in foil
You wonder if she can uncoil.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here's Room 115
Filled with S & M queens
Magic marker row
You wonder just how high they go.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here's Pope dear Ondine
Rona's treated him so mean
She wants another scene
She wants to be a human being.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Pepper she's having fun
She thinks she's some man's son
Her perfect love's don't last
Her future died in someone's past.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dear Ingrid's found her lick
She's turned another trick
Her treats and times revolve
She's got problems to be solved

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Poor Mary, she's uptight
She can't turn out her light
She rolled Susan in a ball
And now she can't see her at all

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dropout, she's in a fix,
Amphetamine has made her sick
White powder in the air
She's got no bones and can't be scared

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here comes Johnny Bore,
He collapsed on the floor
They shot him up with milk
And when he died sold him for silk

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Warm Beer And Cold Women

It's warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight, that's just how its been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
And recycled stories, in the naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you, I light another cigarette
And the band's playing something by Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

All my conversations now, I'll just be talking about you, baby
I'm boring some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen now I say that's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you, until I showed him my tattoo
And now the moon's rising, ain't no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking, tell the band to play the blues
And the drinks are on me I'll buy another round
At the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumble into tonight, that's just how it's been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
Receding hairlines, in the naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you, baby, I light a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing something by Johnnie Barnette
At the last ditch attempt saloon

(Tom Waits)

Women Of The World

Women of the world take over
'Cause if you don't the world will come to an end
And it won't take long

Out There On The Ice

yes, no, maybe is all i need to hear from you
if things go crazy, she's lost herself and lost to you
now that nothings spoken, she's out there on the ice again
she's breaking down slowly, colliding as she holds your hand

you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you
you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you

yes, no, maybe is all i need to hear from you
if things go crazy, she's lost herself and lost to you
now that nothings spoken, she's out there on the ice again
she's take me down slowly, she's holding on to what she can

you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you
you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you
you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you
you don't know what to do
there's a guy you know, who'll be there for you

if that's what it takes, then don't let it tear us apart
even if it breaks your heart
if that's what it takes, then don't let it tear us apart
even if it breaks your heart

even if it breaks your heart
even if it breaks your heart

Boom

I’m getting myself in something I don’t wanna
I’m getting caught up in him but I don’t wanna
I’m getting off track and I can’t control a thing
A thing…
I’m telling myself it’s not a good idea
But the more I hesitate the more I fall for him
I’m tryin’ to erase his face from my memory
And then a-
Boom
Shalaka
He’s walkin’ upa to me
Boom
Shalaka
He start’s ta talka to me
Boom
Shalaka
My heart skips a-
Boom
Shalaka laka
Boom…boom
The more I hang there the more I get wrapped up in him
Imagine myself in the chair I was sittin’ in
And every little thing he said comin’ back to me
To me…
The more I get scared of loosin’ I’m afraid to say
Where can I go at the same time it excites me
Gotta get him outta my head
Get on with me…
(Shaka laka)
And then a-
Boom

Doesn’t matter what he says

Zion Gate

I don't want to
No, I don't want to be outside
When Zion Gate close

I just want to
Yes, I want to be inside
When Zion Gate close

'Cause the world is enslaved
Millions are lost
Some seeking world power, some vanity
They don't remember Jah

Sadder iniquity, prostitution
Too much wrong-doings
In the sight of Jah

So I don't want to
No, I don't want to be outside
When Zion Gate close

I just want to
Yes, I want to be inside
When Zion Gate close

Yeah, I don't want to be outside

Black woman
Can't you see what they are doing to you, oh?
Giving you evil bill to destroy your nation
You're onto me
Though one can teach the children the wrong-doings
And tell them that it's right

So, I don't want to
No, I don't want to be outside
When Zion Gate close

I just want to
Yes, I want to be inside
When Zion Gate close

Yes, I want to be, be inside...
