Some song lyrics that are just very "Me": Disappearing Man by Dave Carter and Tracey Grammar --So the night comes and goes, and there's no one there to nurture But yourself and you know that you've nothing left to lose Will you stand in the road waiting for another searcher Will you weep soft and low in the voice that your mother used to use Springtime the swain came green and hero like A friendly gypsy storm on tender lilies, hale and blaze Late fall, the boatman rowed you grimly Down a canyon dark and empty in a stale and dreary haze At the end of the year when the cliffs rise up behind you And the stream runs in circles from the chasm to the core And the sun comes in tears 'cause the gardener did not find you Will you bloom bright and fierce, will you know you don't need him anymore-- I'm Afraid of Americans by David Bowie --Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah Johnny's in America Low techs at the wheel Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah Nobody needs anyone They don't even just pretend Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah Johnny's in America I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it I'm afraid I can't I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it I'm afraid I can't I'm afraid of Americans Fallen by Sarah McLachlan --We all begin with good intent Love was raw and young We believed that we could change ourselves The past could be undone But we carry on our backs the burden Time always reveals The lonely light of morning The wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything That I have held so dear. I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so... Try by Nelly Furtado --All I know Is everything is not as it's sold but the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people are really not real at all The more I learn the more I cry As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me... Black Velvet by Alannah Myles --Every word of every song he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon What could you do? Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation --Too low to find my way Too high to wonder why I've touched this place before Somewhere in another time Now I can hear the sun The clouds drifting through the blinds A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn --Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would -- Do a little number And I sang with all my might And she said -- "Tell me are you a Christian child?" And I said "Ma'am I am tonight" Einstein on the Beach by Counting Crows --einstein's down on the beach starin' into the sand 'cause everything he believes in is shattered what you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway and we all get burned as one more sun comes sliding down the sky one more shadow leans against the wall and the world begins to disappear the worst things come from inside here and all the kings men reappear for an eggman fallen off the wall he'll never be together again-- Wild World by Cat Stevens --You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder --I'm so darn glad he let me try it again Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on tryin' Till I reach the highest ground Fast Car Tracey Chapman --You got a fast car But is it fast enough 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 and, of course... Anna Begins by Counting Crows --This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says And I'm not ready for this sort of thing |
