B i o g r a p h y Erlewine Alanis Morissette (b. June 1, 1974, Ottawa, Canada) was one of the most unlikely stars of the mid-'90s. A former child actress turned dance-pop diva, Morissette transformed herself into a confessional alternative singer/songwriter, in the vein of Liz Phair and Tori Amos. However, she added enough pop sensibility, slight hip-hop flourishes, and marketing savvy to that formula to become a superstar with her third album, Jagged Little Pill. Morissette was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. In her childhood, she began playing piano and writing songs. At the age of ten, she joined the cast of You Can't Do That on Television, a children's television program. Using money that she earned on the show, Morissette recorded an independent single, "Fate Stay With Me," which was released when she was ten. After leaving the show, she concentrated on a musical career, signing a music publishing contract when she was 14. The publishing contract led to a record deal with MCA Canada. In 1991, she moved to Toronto and released her debut album, Alanis. Alanis was a collection of pop-oriented dance numbers and ballads that was successful in Canada, selling over 100,000 copies, and leading to a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Artist. However, no other country paid any attention to the record. In 1992, she released Now Is the Time, an album that closely resembled her debut. Like its predecessor, it was a success in Canada, even if it sold half of what Alanis did. Following the release of Now Is the Time, Morissette relocated to Los Angeles, where she met Glen Ballard in early 1994. Ballard had previously written Michael Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror," produced Wilson Phillips' hit debut album, and worked with David Hasselhoff. Despite the duo's mainstream pop pedigree, they decided to pursue an edgier, alternative rock-oriented direction. The result was Jagged Little Pill, which was released on Maverick Records, Madonna's label. On the strength of the single "You Oughta Know," Jagged Little Pill gained attention upon its release in the summer of 1995. Soon, the single received heavy airplay from both alternative radio and MTV, sending the album into the Top Ten and multi-platinum status. The second and third singles from Jagged Little Pill, "Hand in My Pocket" and "All I Really Want," kept the album in the Top Ten. In early 1996, she was nominated for six Grammys. Shortly after the nominations, Morissette released her fourth single, "Ironic," which proved to be her biggest crossover success. Morissette won several Grammy awards in 1996, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Her much-anticipated follow-up, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, was released in the autumn of 1998. An Unplugged set appeared a year later, and in 2002 Morissette released Under Rug Swept. So-Called Chaos followed in 2004, and one year later she took Jagged Little Pill on the road as an acoustic tour, also released on CD. |

( Live with Ryan Adams )
Ryan :
I was born in 1974
on a calm meticulous street
someplace in the sun
oh the air was sweet
and enough lights sprang sparks
through the window of the room
not as raw to a ridiculous tune
slightly out of key in the mother hour
Ryan & Alanis :
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones
Alanis :
I was born in 1974
in a breached feet-first way
my twin opened the door
my very first dose of chivalry
I was dawned princess potential potent
with gold star and matching impression
big between two doors
small and loved and proud and unthreatened
Ryan & Alanis :
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones
Ryan :
I bet you were strong
when you should have been weak
like a dam that wanted to break
I wish I were the stones
your river learned to roam
in whispering gaze
Alanis :
You were told in a kind North Carolinian way
to slow down, back up, or be hated
thank god you did not
and thank god you did
an angel either way
Ryan & Alanis :
So leave us alone
So leave us alone
So leave us alone
We're busy being grown
Alanis :

20/20
( Flavors Of Entanglement Japanese Bonus Track )
I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such fear lenses
I would never have held on so tightly
I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no’s, my unwavering yes’s
Risked abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect
This fountain of regret, this looking back with 20/20
Torturous hindsight if I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if I knew then what I know now
I would have gone slower, pushed infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would have shown restraint as my feet got wet
I would have baby-stepped into intimate
Oh this fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty/twenty
This torturous hindsight if I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if I knew then what I know now
I would’ve known much more
Known that time was all we had for future depth to unfold
I would’ve had more faith at every step
I would’ve kept intact through the whole process
Oh this fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty/twenty
Torturous hindsight if I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
A Year Like This One
(Performed at the end of the Jagged Little Pill era)
After a year like this one
I'm surprised I do not hate your guts
And, After a year like this one
I'm suprised I still love music just as much
After a year like this one
I'm suprised I did not eat my arm
And, After a year like this one
I'm sorry if I'm not cordial to everyone
La la la la la ....
After a year like this one
I'm suprised I do not hate your guts
And, After a year like this one
I'm suprised I still love music just as much
After a year like this one
I'm suprised I did not eat my arm
And, After a year like this one
I'm sorry if I'm not cordial to everyone
La, la, la, la, la.....
After a year like this one
I'm supised I am convinced at all
And, After a year like this one
I do not roll my eyes at the cynical
And,After a year like this one
I can't help wonder how they've been
After a year like this one
I think I'll leave it all to my next-of-kin
La, la, la, la, la.....
After a year like this one
I'm suprised we're all not raving drunks and
After a year like this one
I want you to choose the restaurant
After a year like this one
I"ll need a good whole 16 months alone and
After a year like this one
I think I'll make the west coast beaches my new home
La, la, la, la, la.....
( Hands clean B-side )
We
watch movies of murder and we censor the breast
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus
We kill our own and we vote for the men
The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim
I
wonder how we change if we can in this land
I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together
Us priveleged Americans
We pass our revisions onto the next generation
We kneel to the Gods of corporation
We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest
With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best"
I
wonder what we change in this land, cause we can
Even with western centricity this rampant
Us ugly Americans
Tired are not my hands
But see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real.
For me this awakening Canadian
We teach our offspring for themselves, every man
We shrug shoulders and create yet another -ism
We dissuade our young from using their imagination
We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation
I wonder what will change in this
land, cause we can
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together
Us awakening Americans
Basket Case
(Green Day cover / Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
And I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I stoned
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause
It's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I stoned
Am I just paranoid
Or am I stoned

Highway One
Crystalline-haunted sun
With the pacific masculine crash
My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and mist
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Deers and ?? and frogs
?? in cabins of logs
Amongst (?) the springs we are barefoot and warmed
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
I am climbing on the bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic creek breakfast (?)
This wandering (?) heartbeat by the forest
Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Me and Mickey and a path high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the ??? all link through Big Ventana
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Break
( B-Side to In Praise of the Vulnerable Man EP )
Indeed I
Have sucked it up to heights
Unknown to those outside
My body has contained and suppressed
And swallowed and abetted
Oh I
Am a stranger to myself
Beneath altruism dwells
A force uncontended
A voice that is tempered
To boiled and unhindered
Who am I kidding
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't say something soon
I will break from the weight
Of the high road I take
No
Indeed I
Need my chance to fail
Some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
Unbridled, unbrazened
So I
Need imaginings of maiming
Fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
Uncontained, unforgiving
Who am I kidding
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No
I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
The sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out
Who am I kidding
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No

In a church, by the face,
He talks about the people going under.
Only child know...
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we dream
But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little...
Crazy yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh get it, oh get it, oh get it, oh get it no no no !
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little... crazy
No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit...
In a sky full of people
Only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people
Only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, crazy
In a heaven of people
There's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe, oh darling
In a world full of people
There's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless, we are a little crazy
No no, never survive unless we get a little bit...
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it someday
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday, someway...
Death of Cinderella
( Live )
I'm wise and ambitious,
And angry and free,
And smart and available,
And sexy...
I'm soft and appealing,
And wearing pajamas,
And twisted and willing,
And crazy...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor.
And thought-provoking,
And opinionated
Cultured and funny,
And experienced...
Fearless and tender,
And sweetly innocent,
Uninhibited,
Likes a good debate.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to tie her to the bed.
I could fall in love a million times before I die,
You could draw me a bubble bath,
We could walk into the sunset...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
I'm gonna grow to be a maid and I'll never find a fella
Who can use me
And that's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.
Don't Drink the
Water
( With Dave Matthews Band )
(Dave)
Come out, come out, no use in hiding
Come now, come now, can you not see?
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away, away you have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's that you say?
You feel the right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say?
Your father's spirit still lives in this place,
Well I will silence you
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving,
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you, my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
[chanting]
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
But I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these pour souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now.
(Alanis)
And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
Oh I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feeding
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
(Dave)
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Blood in the water
You'll all be dead

Fake
Plastic Trees
( Live - Radiohead Cover )
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man,
A cracked polystyreneman
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears...
She looks like the real thing.
She tastes like the real thing,
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time.
*** Thanx to Joe who corrected some mistakes ***
Fate Stay with
me
(Alanis' First single when she was 10 years old)
What did you think I'd be doing now
While you left meI was thinking aloud
Would there be no end to my sorrow
Will I make it through tomorrow
Fate Stay With Me Oh,
Please Fate Stay with me, and guide me along my way
There has been so many problems
So please stay, please, stay
Fate stay with me, will you help me on my way
Will you end my troubles
Will you please stay, please...
I wanted money and hope and
A dream to carry me forever
This is all the hope I got left
Help me to get it together, now
I can sing or act or dance but I still won't get far
Unless you help me please to be a big star
Oh,
Please Fate Stay with me, and guide me along my way
There has been so many problems
So please stay, please, stay
Fate stay with me, will you help me on my way
I don't want to be a queen, no,
Or a princess with all my jewels, oh
If you could guide me
And you could help me
But don't go too far, I just want to be a star
Oh,
Please Fate Stay with me, and guide me along my way
There has been so many problems
So please stay, please, stay
Fate stay with me, will you help me on my way
Yes guide me
Forver guide me
Will you stay with me and guide me along the way
If I succeed because of you, fate my friend
I'll be so happy
Find The
Right Man
You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
He feels the same way, I think you know it
You can't be afraid to show it
When will this hidden emotion
Give you the notion
To make the first move, make the first move
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
Darling you just can't let him go
Deep down in your heart you can't feel it all
I'll be calling all there is
For his love, for his love
You know you can take his heart away
Just look straight in his eyes
And then you say
Hey can't you just see
We'll be great you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love (repeat 2X until end)
Gorgeous
( Live )
Testostarone in large amounts
Your Little sister just kick out of
God you can't shave your head
Come to the Show
the boys rock harder
Your mother lent you her slip
She lent you her bright red lipstick
And your shoes are hurting your back
But boy don't you look gorgeaus
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
This is but an observation
You put a bullet in your foot
You make it hard for us bitches inconsequential in your back bends
And your taste in men leaves something to de desired
You love them to be aloof and self obsessed
They love you in your mini dress
You are looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
When your voice is raised above a certain level
I'm afraid you must go to the ladies room
I left your competence in curlers
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
( Havoc and Bright Lights Bonus Track )
I started young
I was enthralled
By your agape
As a student
I kept going
Colour me captured
Disillusioned enough
Needed your guidance
And so I turned
Over to you
To lead me home
And then I said
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
And so I fell
Under your spell
I was enraptured
Your every word
I held onto
'Til it was gospel
You weren't deterred
From your asserts
We're identical
I will admit
I saw your face
Inside my face
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
I give praise to the beautiful and glorious
It's never too late, what I've learned is amorphous
Thanks for the tip, your advice is important
Never get lost in my North Star ??
In ?? if things feel wrong
GU is for the darkness and RU is for the light
Eye to eye now, we bow, we face each other
Respect ?? with balance for one another
Continue religion(?) on a day to day basis
Fundamental growth started with the basics
It seems smarter than I thought I'd ever be
Until you empowered me now I follow my epiphany
Act low (?) watching smoke rise from chimney
Thanks for giving me a vision what I couldn't see
Not every sigh(?) that I breathe will be the same as you
On this pathway to trans..???.. true
You've had enough
Of subservience
And so you stopped me
You saw my light
Seen as your light
Gave it back to me
I eventually saw
That your jewel
Was in my pocket
It had had been there
The whole time
Throughout my search
And I finally saw
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Taken by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Thanks for pointing back to my inherent wisdom
Happiness
is a Warm gun
( Live - Beatles Cover )
She's not a girl who misses much
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors
On his hob-nailed boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands
Working over time
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation's Trust
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Down to the *itch that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know that nobody can do me no harm
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
Happiness is a warm gun
I don't know
( The weekend song )
Monday morning is not Monday morning 'till Taylor has his coffee
Friday night is not Friday night 'till Jessie leaves the room sweaty
Tuesday morning is not Tuesday morning 'till Nick has his talk with his son
Thursday night is not Thursday night 'till Chris has sex with his bass
Come on to the Weekend
'Cause the Weekend I'll get by
Hold off 'till the Weekend
'Cause there's too much time bein' merrily nice guys
Tuesday morning is Wednesday afternoon when you cry all night
Wednesday early we fall into what I'll Phil-a-del-ph-i-a
Thursday morning is not Thursday morning 'till one of us says
How's your life
How's your life?
Yeah how's your life
How's your life?
Come on to the weekend
'Cause the weekend I'll get by
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause there's too much time to think and not much time to cry
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause the weekend we'll be high
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause we may look tired, but we'll get by
What if there were no more mama's boys
What if no one shared their humble appearance
What there were no consequences
What if there were no more arguments
Well that'd be a shame
And that'd be impossible
And you would be bored
'Cause you wouldn't want it any other way
Hold on 'till the weekend
'Cause the weekend I'll get by
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause we may look scared, but we're really nice guys
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause the weekend I'll get high
Hold off 'till the weekend
'Cause we may look strange but we surely will get by
What if there were no more mama's boys
What if we all had no thinking together
Would that be a shame...
And that'd be impossible
'Cause you would be bored
'Cause you wouldn't want it any other way
I
Remain
( Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time OST )
How crass you stand before me with
No blood to fuel your fame
How dare you wield such flippancy
Without requisite shame
Your very existence
Becomes my sacred mission's bane
You bow to kiss my hand
And I ignore ignited flame
How I’m moved to meet you
Untouched I do remain
To some it seems foreign why I
Would steely forge ahead
This land entrusted to me knows
Not of hallowed secrets
I’ll keep it to myself
While your brave eye swim in my head
Your charm cannot distract me from
The path I’m born to tread
How I’m thrilled to know you
Unaffected I remained
How I’ve learned to like you
Undeterred I do remain
Less daunting as team
And you, unlikely king by my side
And me, so much better for trusting you
My hand over your heart while you
Keep hindrances at bay
Colour me surprised by how our union saves the day
How I’ve grown to need you
As my soldier need fades
How I love to love you
And how loyal I remain
I remain
I remain
I remain…
It's a
Bitch to Grow Up
( Flavors Of Entanglement I-Tunes Exclusive )
It's been ten years of investment
It's been one foot in and one out
It's been four days of fodder shed (?)
And I feel snuffed out
It's been thirty three years of restraining
Of trying to control this tumult
How I did invest in such fantasy
But my nervous system has worn out
I feel done, I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up
I've repeated this dance at Nauseum
There's still something to learn that I've not
I'm told to see this as divine perfection
But my bones don't feel this perfection
I feel done, I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up
I've spent life hovering above bottom
Thinking I can't survive what's below
But I've known through the kicking and screaming
That there was no other direction to go
I feel done, I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up
Keep the radio
on
Can you relate to what it says
The lyrics are straight from the heart
The soul is expressed in the lyrics
The virtues and vices are released
Chorus:
Keep The Radio On,
This song means so much to me
Keep the Radio On,
The words live right through me
The lyrics are comforting
Like I expressed them my self
Keep The Radio on, the song speaks for itself.
Why Can't You Relate
To my way of thinking
Why don't you understand
All the things I am feeling
I am not a stranger to opinions
In fact i have my own
I am no stranger to delusions
Although you live through mine
Repeat Chorus
Keep The Radio On
Keep The Radio On
The words have their meaning
Keep The Radio On
Can't you feel what they are saying
Keep The Radio On
Repeat Chorus
King of
intimidation
( Live )
Spoken : The women of this
family seem to feel that they owe it to the men
of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
For you they live in a quiet monastery
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
For you we wax, nostalgic and our legs
For you we chew our nails if we had any left buy fake ones to do it
We counted to 10 temporarily
And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
The room of compromise is full, and apparently you don't want some,
There's only so much we can do to make you rest assured
I am single
I am weary
You're just jealous
You're just confused
You're just hungry
You're in sin now
You're not happy
You are petty
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
He knows not of what he has wrongly done
Forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You are busted
We were silent
You were tested
You knew better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
La,la,la

Let's do it
( The collection LP )
Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The dutch in old amsterdam do it
Not to mention the finns
Folks in siam do it
Think of siamese twins
Some argentines, without means, do it
People say, in boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters, down in oyster bay, do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold cape cod clams, against their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels, i might add, do it
Though it shocks 'em, i know.
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter, bring me shad roe.
In shallow shoals, english soles do it
Goldfish, in the privacy of bowls, do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

My house, my role
My friends, my man
My devotion to god
All amorphous, indefinite
Nothing's been clear
Nothing's been in
Nothing's felt true
And I’ve never had both feet in
Nothing's been long
Nothing's been yes
Nowhere's been home
And I'm ready to be limbo no more
My taste, my peers
My identity, my affiliation
All amorphous, indefinite
Nothing's been clear
Nothing's been in
Nothing's felt true
And I’ve never had both feet in
Nothing's been long
Nothing's been yes
Nowhere's been home
And I'm ready to be limbo no more
I sit with filled frames
And my books and my dogs at my feet
My friends by my side
My past in a heap
Thrown out most of my things
Only kept what I need to carve
Something consistent and notably me
Tattoo on my skin
My teachers in heart
My house is a home
Something at last I can feel a part of
Sense of myself
My purpose is clear
My roots in the ground
Something at last I can feel a part of
Something aligned
To finally commit
Somewhere I belong
‘Cause I'm ready to be limbo no more
My wisdom applied
A firm foundation
A vow to myself
‘Cause I'm ready to be limbo no more
London
( Live )
Boganvilia fall into the pool
The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm
My right index fingernail chewed to the quick
My cervix is a long scalene
My sprinklers go off at 6pm each day
And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors
My pimples are gooses all over my legs
My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
The birds make guttural sounds and protect me
My friends come to visit and love me a lot
I don't have the energy to fill this
i am lagged from the jet and the 12 hour flight
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
I am intriguied by the boys with the androdonus songs
Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not
The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower
The hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still
To be loved and swallowed are single and depraved
I love speaking french to the taxi drivers
We slept and were cold on the train out of france
And how I do love London
And how I do love London

I've been most unwilling
To see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this
Has me paralyzed
With this prolonged exposure
To nearer and averted eyes
I feigned that I've been waiting
Such mileage for empathizing
Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room (?)
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers
It's been all too easy
To cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms
Leaves me terrified
Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room (?)
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers
I'd have to give up knowing
And give up being right
You inadvertent hero
You angel in disguise
Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room (?)
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers
Movement I - Mercy
( Jonathan Elias's The Prayer Cycle )
We have slaughtered
In the garden of beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter justice
Begging eternity for love
We're nothing
We're everything
I am nothing
Yet I am everybody
We're nothing
And yet we are
Wisdom lights up life's road
I know you
Movement III - Hope
( Jonathan Elias's The Prayer Cycle )
Before my body dies
I pray
That the river I was born to
May again wash over me
By God's touch I pray
That I may move from this consecrated
Earth
Into the next season
A dark season
Beyond the dying religions that
Seduced us
My soul will surrender
And give in to grace
Movement VI - Innocence
( Jonathan Elias's The Prayer Cycle )
By moon we gather
For the ascension
Great sky shelter us
With your endless compassion
Last survivor
It is you who must pass
Into the light of the new world
Under a sky of innocence
We are now all dying
In a slow black rain
Was it a failure
Of man and angels
Was it a failure of love
From this human river
Too cruel for winter
Welcome to the gates
A rehearsal for the silence
Pray we do not enter
Under a sky of innocence
We bathe in the seduction
Beautiful
The light is unravelling now
We open our arms to it
It is close to ground zero
I am no one
Yet I am everyone
We are nothing, but we are all
When I am still, I am inspired
We are not yet born
Half sadness
But half choice
When I am still I can hear
You speak most clearly
Father can you help me
For the ocean is big
And my boat is small
Find the courage
Movement IX - Faith
( Jonathan Elias's The Prayer Cycle )
My unborn forgive me
I only wish I had the strength
To bring you into this world
More faithful
My Humps
( Black Eyes Peas parody )
I drive these scrubber crazy
I do it on the daily
They treat me really nicely
They buy me all these ice-ys
Dolce & Gabbana
Fendi and then Donna
Caring, they be sharin'
All their money got me wearin' fly

The boys they wanna sex me
They always standin' next to me
Always dancing next to me
Tryin' a feel my hump, hump
Lookin' at my lump, lump
You can look but you can't touch it
If you touch it I'ma start some drama
You don't want no drama,
No, no drama, no, no, no drama
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump
My hump, my hump, my hump
My lovely lady lumps

All that junk inside that trunk
I'ma get, get, get, get you drunk
Get you love drunk off this hump
What you gonna do wit all that breast
All that breast inside that shirt
I'ma make, make, make, make you work
Make you work, work, make you work

No
( Havoc And Bright Lights bonus track )
My mind is invaded
My gates are ignored
My thoughts are negated
And you're on a roll
And I am offended by your acts of shamelessness
Your lack of conscience and your flagrant steamroll
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
My sorrow is laughed off
My rage is discounted
My fears are founded (??)
This dam is no more (??)
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
Don't touch me
My body is frozen thanks to you
And I’ve sat with these secrets
I'm no longer willing to
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
What part of no do you not understand
Do you not understand
Norwegian
Wood
( The Beatles Cover )
I once had a girl, or should i say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, is not it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So i looked around and i noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "it's time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her i didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when i awoke i was alone, this bird had flown.
So i lit a fire, is not it good, norwegian wood.

Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
My friends and I meet hours before
We make some home made pizza
We do some funny bits back and forth
My knees buckle I laugh so hard
We might end three sheets to wind
And who knows where we'll wind up
All I know is there’s a car waiting
And we’ll figure that out after
I have to keep my eye on my old friend from high school
We’ve known each other for the longest time
She has trouble with her limits, so to speak
She can hoist a really good kick in the butt when she's excited
She doesn’t do it so much anymore
‘Cause we’re all on to her
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there’s my other pretty friend from high school
The predator in me is put to shame by the predator in her
And now I’ve reeled it in
It’ll be interesting to see how much she’s done as well
Then there’s my friend from Chigago
God do I love all people from Chicago
All ready to light up the barbeque
And be harping on debauchery
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there’s my Canadian friend
What a fabulous mom she’s become
She’s been tortured in this sense
for the last many of months for obvious reasons
She was like
"Hey where was this part of you when I wasn’t pregnant"
I laughed and did a shot in her honour
As I conversed with her belly
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Then there’s my Cupid friend
She sure knows how to dress that one
She’s a wise and worldly girl
But you gotta watch that medication
My favourite beverage is taken to a whole other level on it
I’m not worried about it or I’ll coast around the room
While I trust she’ll temper
My brother came to visit me
And now he’s used to hanging with me and cracking up
But he had no idea about my built up tolerance
No idea about how manipulative I’ve become
I would surreptitiously put it in front of him without him asking
In a pretty little shot glass
His smirk and cackle would only egg me on
Bring on the Tequila, oh
On fire on Tequila, oh
Hostess most on Tequila, oh
Bestest friends on Tequila, oh
Orchid
( Flavors Of Entanglement Deluxe Edition )
Me, and my helmet
Such an unconventional kid
All intense and kinetic
At best tolerated from afar
Not yet arrested
And by that I mean betrothed
Though at start I am duly courted
I've just not been trusted with alters
I'm a sweet piece of work
Well intentioned yet disturbed
Wrongly labeled and underfed
Treated like a rose as an orchid
My friends as they weigh in
Get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out
I'm a sweet piece of work
Well intentioned and unloved
unlabeled and misunderstood
Treated like a rose as an orchid
You've brought water to me
Making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows
So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are
For this sweet piece of work
High maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving
Treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work
Overwhelmed unobserved
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
( Havoc and Bright Lights Bonus Track )
I've been a nice girl
Offering much, grumbling low
And I gave all, all that was asked of me
When order was slow and vision was unrelenting
I never stopped long enough
To swim against the tides of old
And I was single-minded too much
To look toward this new true north
So now
Permission to be
Permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow
To where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
And sure, I've had my fun
Played with my roles
With time for a break hard-won
But then after a while
So much done by rote
No longer by inspiration
I never stopped long enough
To see whose was this blind ambition
And I was not sanctioned to stop
And realise whose was this old mission
So now
Permission to be
Permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow
To where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
With this space by the dropping of reins
This license to abate
With this timely leeway
So now
Permission to be
Permission to slow
And do the only things that matter to me
The freedom to flow
To where genuine flows
And do the only things that matter to me
The simple things that matter to me
The simple things that matter to me
Permission to be, permission to slow
Pollyanna flower
(through you I see us)
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gun powder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between the murder and the normalacy
Between aggression and oblivion
Between the brutal and realistically well behaved
Between the screaming and the pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambling
What am i to do with all this fire?
(I'd like to hate you but I could never hate you)
Why are you still with me in this red space?
(I'd like to slap you but I could never slap you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever down playing
Between the bruises and the nobly differing
Between bursting and boiling
What am I to do with all this burning?
(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place?
(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
What am i to do with all this fire?
Can you understand me in this place?

Pray For Peace
I pray for peace.
They require me to kick into high gear.
We may as well have our Ph.D.'s.
Might we compose
Was never taken into account.
I pray they let out or talk it out.
She would give me a wink across the room.
I would've made a really good lawyer.
I had a really good strategy
For putting things back on the wall of the world.
Thank God it was the goddamned wall.
I would have to hide all my valuables.
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I were the official peacemakers.
It was a full-time job.
I would send my mother directly to bed, yeah
Don't collect 200.
We'd talk about it till 5 A.M.
When I'd come visiting her 5 years later.
We would pray for peace.
It was most comfortable and familiar.
Question

Alanis Morissette:
I must be two lips
I must be your sleep
I must be blinded
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
I must be spoiled
I must be behind
I must be asleep
I must be fearful
Keep it a question
Love ain't a secret
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
I must be two lips
I must be your sleep
I must plan to forget
I must be suffering
Keep it a question
Letting nothing on
Let's keep it a question

Love ain't a secret
Keep it a question
Let it stop within

( from Dave Matthews Band's album:"Before these crowded streets")
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came
Up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung
Out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
Alanis :
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play
Laughing out
loud
Come now and play

Superstar
Wonderful Weirdos
(Demo - Made for Jagged Little Pill but not on the LP)
Sarah's only 10 and she's attracted to older men
And they seem to like her back
'Cause she's intelligent
Billy's a football star
And he drives around in his muscle car
But he really really wants to be a ballerina
And he wonders who am I?
Who am I?
And he wants to be a man
But he doesn't understand
It's alright to be what he wants
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
Well, Jonny studies rockets
With his plastic protected pockets so his pens don’t leak out upon the floor
Where Jenny's rolling
And she's scared of growing
'Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door
And she wonders who am I?
What the hell am I?
And she's got a lot to offer
But she doesn’t look like Cindy Crawford
And it makes her cry
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
It's a total rejection of the system
It's the honest opinion for the very first time
It's a different position, of living
And its time that you made up your minds
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
You're not alone tonight
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call tonight?

missile sent today
Killed only 3
The rest were saved
They're far enough away to not really feel the direct effect on me
They caught him today
Based ridiculously
On his race
They weren't sure
He even did it
But they needed a random face
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He won today
Smug self-satisfaction
On his face
He blew the others
Out of the water
He said and was glad
They were disgraced
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He stole what he could
He only had minutes before he'd be caught
He justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
Separate we are separate

Delivering us into new heights

We've been on a roll since
Your breath first grazed my skin

And it keeps me warm within
We keep progressing as you offer full spectrum
And we'll keep depending until our days are done
You're my hot one woman man
Your flame in your control inside your dominion
And here I watch you wield
Your passion with command
And channel animal

The
Guy Who Leaves
( Flavors Of Entanglement Deluxe Edition )
Get up
Don't get up
I beg you to sit tight
Sweet girl
I'll be a ghost girl
Forget it, I am fine
If anything
A witnessing
Is all I needed that night
Until I get what I'm to get
He'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out his false story
He'll keep playing the guy who leaves
Brother, oh brother
Solo you did bust out
All I knew was
You didn't invite me
So begin seeds of self-doubt
There is nothing
As harrowing
As how I translate facts (?)
Until I get what I'm to get
He'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out his false story
He'll keep playing the guy who leaves
Baby, oh partner
How well you've played this part
Similar, oh, how familiar
Reluctant truth you impart
And how you served necessity
Repeat until she sees light
Until I get what I'm to get
He'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out his false story
He'll keep playing the guy who leaves
There are worse things I could do
( Grease / Live at Tinley Park)
There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through, that's a thing I'd never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite and jealously
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do

Dear matthew I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship with someone
right now and
I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future
And you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time
with you
And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song
Dear eric I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to
me
And think solely about themselves and you were plenty self-destructive for my
taste at the time
I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the
early 90's your face
Comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday
Dear terry I love you muchly you've been nothing but open hearted and
emotionally available
And supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in
And pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your
couch
And cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which
to jump
Beyond myself what was wrong with me
Dear marc you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women
And you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get
away
With kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for
around
You though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it's kinda
too bad
Because we could've had much more fun
Dear terrance you were an adventure besides being a few decades older than I was
You used to write the most poetic loveletters and I still have them you were in
And out of several marriages and you liked them young and naive so you could
have
The power and the dramas to feel fear I wonder what your wife thought of all of
this
Dear christian we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some
time
And I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we
did
As well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives
I will always
Have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts
Dear taylor I missed you a lot there was a period of time when I was too mad to
even bring up
Your name and it killed me to hear you discount the time we spent together I
knew all along
That we had different tastes in moderations and we couldn't hang out forever and
while it lasted
It was hilarious
( There are different versions of
this song.
The words in brackets [ ] are the words as she sings them in the other version )
Intensate [entertain] me for the tenth hour in the row again
Anesthetize me with your gossip and many random anecdotes
Fill every hour with act timid to your ear candy
Drop me off at intersections in any city metropolitan
And keep me in this state
And keep me purgatorying
And sing [rock] me back to sleep
This is far more than I have bargained for
Start every week with a break-neck urgent design
And end every speedday with my briefcase representing free time
Spending my fruits, my purchases become my lifeline
Please give my love to my family i'll doubtfully be home at christmas time
Please leave me in this state
Please keep me purgatorying
I'll be damned if I'm to wake
This is far more than I'm equipped for
I've held you up like a dear
As if [like] you're the sole owner of wings
This unrequited tunnel of vision
And I wonder why i've not been writing
Please keep me in this state
Please keep me purgatorying
I'll be damned if I'm to wake
This love is far more than I have bargained for
I'll be damned if I'm to wake
This is far more than I'm equipped for
*** Thanx a lot to Sylvy for this one

Wunderkind
( From The film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The
Wardrobe )
Oh perilous place
Walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave
No apprehended bloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to serve
Destined to roam
Oh ominous place
Spellbound and un-childproofed
My least favorite chill to bear alone
Compatriots in place
They’d cringe if I told you
Our best back pocket secret: our bond full blown
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a pioneer naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to seek
Destined to know
Most beautiful place
Reborn and blown off roof
My view: about face weather, great will be done
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a groundbreaker naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a joan of arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign….destined to roam…
*** Thanx a lot to Corqsan for this one ***
