B i o g r a p h y (by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)
Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos) was one of several female singer/songwriters who combined the stark lyrical attack of alternative rock with a distinctly '70s musical approach. Her music falls between the orchestrated meditations of Kate Bush and the stripped-down poetics of Joni Mitchell. In addition to reviving the singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s, Amos revived the piano as a rock & roll instrument. With her 1992 album, Little Earthquakes, Amos built a dedicated following that continued to expand with her second album, Under the Pink. Born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland, Amos was the daughter of a Methodist preacher. By the age of four, she was singing and playing piano in the church choir; she began writing her own songs shortly afterward. Amos won a scholarship to Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory based on her instrumental prowess. While she was studying at Peabody, she became infatuated with rock & roll, particularly the music of Led Zeppelin. She began writing pop ballads and performing in local bars. Amos moved to Los Angeles in her late teens to become a pop singer. Atlantic Records signed her in 1987, recording an uninspired pop-metal album called Y Kant Tori Read the following year. The record was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press and selling very few copies; nevertheless, she didn't lose her record contract. By 1990, Amos had adopted a new approach, singing spare, haunting, semiconfessional piano ballads that were arranged like Kate Bush but had the melodies and lyrical approach of Joni Mitchell. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she played a series of concerts in support of an EP, Me and a Gun. The harrowing "Me and a Gun" was an autobiographical song, telling the tale of Amos' own experience with rape. It gained positive reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the concerts sold well. Little Earthquakes, Amos' first album as a singer/songwriter, was released in late 1991 and sold well in both the U.S. and the U.K. In 1992, she released the Crucify EP, which featured three covers, including Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Led Zeppelin's "Thank You." Delivered in early 1994, Under the Pink, the full-length follow-up to Little Earthquakes, was a bigger hit, selling over a million copies and launching the minor hit singles "God" and "Cornflake Girl." Two years later, Amos delivered her third album, Boys for Pele, her most ambitious and difficult record to date. The album debuted at number two and quickly went platinum. Amos spent much of 1997 dealing with personal matters, including a miscarriage and a marriage, and working on her fourth album, From the Choirgirl Hotel, which was released in the spring of 1998. The two-disc To Venus and Back followed in 1999 to coincide with a tour with Alanis Morissette. In 2001, Amos returned with the covers album Strange Little Girls, which also marked her last release for Atlantic. The next year, she found a new label home with Epic and followed with Scarlet's Walk in October. Her eighth studio album, an autobiographical record titled The Beekeeper, was released in 2005.

After all ( Strange Little Girl single )
Please trip them gently, they don't like to fall, oh by jingo There's no room for anger, we're all very small, oh by jingo We're painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise But they think that we're holding a secretive ball Won't someone invite them, they're just taller children That's all, after all Man is an obstacle, sad as the clown, oh by jingo So hold on to nothing, and he won't let you down, oh by jingo Some people are marching together and some on their own Quite alone Others are running, the smaller ones crawl But some sit in silence, they're just older children That's all, after all I sing with impertinence, shading impermanent chords, With my words I've borrowed your time and i'm sorry i called But the thought just occurred that we're nobody's children at all, after all Live your rebirth and do what you will, oh by jingo Forget all i've said, please bear me no ill, oh by jingo After all, after all Alamo ( Talula Part 2 single )
Alamo Heard all about your fandango Banged on my knees on your back door Only to wake you to blues on the way Blues on the way Blues on the way Embarcar Figures you'll see me as older Twenty-three hours till the border Don't think i'll be going as fast as i came Fast as i came Fast as i came Tears on my pillow Of course they're not mine Alter that altar Making a play Somebody invent the telephone line I'll take mine My chances Alamo Wish i could do what gold does Heard that the stars were in order Got yourself dealt a hand with Two queen of spades And blues on the way Blues on the way Tears on my pillow Of course they're not mine Alter that altar Making a play Somebody, just Somebody, invent the telephone line I'll take my chances Amazing grace ( Talula Part 1 single )

Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye Angie, i still love you, remember all those nights we cried All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke Let me whisper in your ear Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here Oh, angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet I hate that sadness in your eyes But angie, angie, ain't it time we said goodbye With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats You can't say we're satisfied But angie, i still love you, baby Ev'rywhere i look i see your eyes There ain't a woman that comes close to you Come on baby, dry your eyes But angie, angie, ain't it good to be alive Angie, angie, they can't say we never tried
Apollo's frock ( Welcome to Sunny Florida LP )
Put me back in the cold I'm going to Antartica - it feels like these days, Our old meeting place, In an LA cafe Or on the Serengeti, The hunt has now begun. 'Cause I am tired of you taking from me And I have let you eat from the fruits of my tree I am not the one to turn into a Laurel wreath For the last time you have crossed my line You could never see You could never see Apollo's frock Was always as beautiful Always as beautiful as The saddest rainstorm Apollo your frock Was always as beautiful Always as beautiful As your sister's That your light shined on How can you think you've won When there can be no winners The soul has been lost Of the bow and quiver Do you remember Well I remember Amid the clashing of swords I'm losing you in my rear view And I have the Shekhina in And the ninefold and a few other friends You and your predators were warned If the cubs were drawn in For the last time you would officially cross my line You could never see Never see Apollo's frock

What you can do What you can do to me What you can do... You... You... A case of you ( Joni Mitchell - Cornflake Girl (Part 2) single )
Just before our love got lost you said, "i am as constant as the northern star." And i said, "constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me i'll be in the bar." On the back of a cotton coaster In the blue t.v. Screen light I drew a map of canada Oh canada With your face sketched on it twice. In my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Well, i could drink a case of you, darling And i would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet. Oh i am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And i'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid. I remember that time you told me "love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. My blood My holy wine Tastes so bitter and so sweet Well i could drink a case of you, darling And i would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, "go to him, stay with him But be prepared to bleed" My blood My holy wine Tastes so bitter and so sweet Well i could drink a case of you, darling And i would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet
Daisy dead petals ( Cornflake Girl single )
Daisy dead petals That is her name She's in a phone booth phase, so Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray She can turn it out with a heel on She just rides into town Knowing what they'll say Knowing they're around the corner Got a crack in Got a crack in some strange places Daisy dead petals That is her name So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well These dead petals, honey, brought me here She said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here" Dancing on a dime, Hearing mother cry Maybe she's around the corner Got a crack in Got a crack in some strange places On my back with On my back with some dirty dishes Falling down, falling down All over the river Falling down, falling down Falling down... Wish what i'm feeling could Go on like this forever Falling down, falling down Falling down... And since we're down Might as well stay Might as well fry some eggs And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray She's a new friend not a skeleton To ride into town Knowing what they'll say Knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but "these dead petals, honey, brought me here" She said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here" Do it again ( Donald Fagan & Walter Becker - Spark Part 2 single )
In the mornin' you go gunnin' For the man who stole your water And you fire 'til he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street Let's go A-a-a-ha A-a-a-ha And you go... Well, you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're at the end Then you love a little wild one But she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smilin' You'll be on your knees tomorrow You....a-a-a-ha A-ha-ha-yah...

Wheel turnin' 'round Wheel turnin' 'round Beautifully Wheel turnin' 'round Mmm-hmmm

Ruby through the Looking-Glass ( Welcome to Sunny Florida LP )
Feel a little hand turning inside me Don't you think she feels us fighting Strike me at the root I won't let you Put her through What you put me through When I said - I wanted it all, Doesn't every woman want it all... Running through the house screaming Girl unstrung you could always play that one Baptized of fire and every beat in the bar Hymns for her Feel her kick me from the inside When I said - I wanted it all, Doesn't every woman want it all... As a man - do you find, Doesn't every boy smoke to cry... You could almost drown her waterfall You could almost drown my waterfall Through the Looking-glass, Ruby sees Things in you Things in me She won't wanna be Just a little light turning the key At the root, what I missed... She will carry When I said - I wanted it all, Doesn't every woman want it all... As a man - do you find, Doesn't every boy smoke to cry... Feel a little hand Turning Turning Ruby

Strange fruit ( Billie Holiday - Cornflake Girl Part 2 single )
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves Blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallow south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop Sugar

I'm home again in my old narrow bed Where i grew tall and my feet hung over the end And the low beam room with the window looking out On the soft summer garden Where the boys grew in the trees Here i grew guilty And no one was at fault Frightened by the power of every innocent thought And the silent understanding passing down From daughter to daughter Let the boys grow in the trees Do you go to them or do you let them come to you Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude Deny yourself and hope someone will see And live like a flower While the boys grow in the trees Last night i slept in sheets the color of fire Tonight i lie alone again and i curse my own desires Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze And watch by the window As the boys grew in the trees Do you go to them or do you let them come to you Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude Deny yourself and hope someone will see And live like a flower As the boys grow in the trees Last night i slept again in sheets the color of fire Tonight i lie alone again and i curse my own desires Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze.... Watch by the window Where the boys grow in the trees Boys grow in the trees
Candle in the wind ( Elton John )
Goodbye norma jean Though i never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And i would have liked to have known you But i was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that marilyn was found in the nude Goodbye norma jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe
Crazy in love ( Beyonce Cover) When I talk to my friends so quietly "Who he think he is?" look at what you've done to me Tennis shoes don't even need to buy a new dress You ain't here, ain't nobody else to impress It's the way that you know what I thought I knew It's just the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you But I still don't understand Just how your love can do what no one else can Got me looking so crazy right now Your love's got me looking so crazy right now Got me looking so crazy right now your kiss Got me looking so crazy right now Got me hoping you page me right now your love Got me hoping you save me right now Looking so crazy your love's got me looking Looking so crazy your love Got me looking so crazy right now Your love's got me looking so crazy right now Got me looking so crazy right now your kiss Got me looking so crazy right now Got me hoping you page me right now your love Got me hoping you save me right now Looking so crazy your love's got me looking Looking so crazy your love So crazy right now So crazy right now... Daniel ( Elton John )

( The Eagles )
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of heats is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the winter time The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're loosin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away Desperado, why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it's too late Evergreen ( Barbra Streisand )
Love soft as an easy chair Love fresh as the morning air One love that is shared by two I have found with you Like a rose under the april snow I was always certain love would grow Love ageless and evergreen Seldom seen by two You and i will Make each night the first Everyday a beginning Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed They warm and excite us 'Cause we have the brightest love Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun Time . . . We've learned to sail above Time . . . Won't change the meaning of one love Ageless and ever evergreen Famous blue raincoat ( Leonard Cohen )
It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New york is cold, but i like where i'm living There's music on clinton street all through the evening. I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert You're living for nothing now, i hope you're keeping some kind of record. Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear? Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without lili marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife. Well i see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well i see jane's awake -- She sends her regards. And what can i tell you my brother, my killer What can i possibly say? I guess that i miss you, I guess i forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way. If you ever come by here, for jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so i never tried. And jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear -- Sincerely, leonard cohen For emily, whenever i may find her ( Simon & Garfunkel )
What a dream i had Pressed in organdy Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy Softer than the rain I wandered empty streets down Past the shop displays I heard cathedral bells Tripping down the alley ways As i walked on And when you ran to me Your cheeks flushed with the night We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight I held your hand And when i awoke and felt you warm and near I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears Oh, i love you Oh, i love you Growin' up ( Bruce Springsteen )
Well i stood stone-like at midnight Suspended in my masquerade I combed my hair till it was just right And commanded the night brigade And i was open to pain and crossed by the rain And i walked on a crooked crutch I strolled all alone through a fallout zone And came out with my soul untouched I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd But when they said "sit down" i stood up Ooh-ooh growin' up The flag of piracy flew from my mast My sails were set wing to wing I had a jukebox graduate for first mate She couldn't sail but she sure could sing I pushed b-52 and bombed `em with the blues With my gear set stubborn on standing I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school Never once gave thought to landing I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd But when they said "come down" i threw up Ooh-ooh growin' up Well i stood stone-like at midnight Suspended in my masquerade I combed my hair till it was just right And commanded the night brigade And i was open to pain and crossed by the rain And i walked on a crooked crutch I strolled all alone through a fallout zone And came out with my soul untouched I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd But when they said "sit down" i stood up Ooh-ooh growin' up Ooh-ooh growin' up Happy birthday ( Traditional )
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy, yes, to you Happy you you you You you you you You you to you To you To you Here, there and everywhere ( The Beatles )
To lead a better life I need my love to be here Here, making each day of the year Changing my life with a wave of her hand Nobody can deny that there's something there There, running my hands through her hair Both of us thinking how good it can be Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there I want her everywhere And if she's beside me i know i need never care But to love her is to need her Everywhere, knowing that love is to share Each one believing that love never dies Watching her eyes and hoping i'm always there I want her everywhere And if she's beside me i know i need never care But to love her is to need her Everywhere, knowing that love is to share Each one believing that love never dies Watching her eyes and hoping i'm always there I will be there, and everywhere Here, there and everywhere House of the rising sun ( Traditional )
There is a house in new orleans They call the rising sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And god i know i'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in new orleans The only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk Oh mothers, tell your children Don't do what i have done And spend your life in sin and misery In the house of the rising sun There is a house in new orleans They call the rising sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And me, oh lord, i'm one And me, oh lord, i'm one If ( David Gates )
If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't i paint you The words would never show The you i've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am i to go There's no one home but you You're all that's left me to.. And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me If i could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today Beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and i would simply fly away I love paris ( Cole Porter )
Every time i look down on this timeless town Whether blue or gray be her skies Whether loud be her cheers or whether soft be her tears More and more do i realize that... I love paris in the spring time I love paris in the fall I love paris in the summer when it sizzles I Love paris in the winter when it drizzles I love paris every moment Every moment of the year I love Paris why oh why do i love paris Because my love is here Imagine ( John Lennon )
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Ah-haaa ahhhh Imagine there's no country It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for No religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You-ooo-ooo You may say i'm a dreamer But i'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one You may say i'm a dreamer But i'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Hey, hey Killing me softly ( Roberta Flack )
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so i came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Kept right on Kept right on And on and on and on and on and on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me.... Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if i wasn't there But he just came to singing Singing clear and strong You're killing me softly With his song Let it be ( The Beatles )

( Madonna )
I have a tale to tell Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to see the writing on the wall A man can tell a thousand lies hope i live to tell The secret i have learned, 'til then It will burn inside of me I know where beauty lives the light that you could never see It shines inside, you can't take that from me A man can tell a thousand lies hope i live to tell The secret i have learned, 'til then It will burn inside of me The truth is never far behind You kept it hidden well If i live to tell The secret i knew then Will i ever have the chance again If i ran away, i'd never have the strength To go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart Will it grow cold The secret that i hide, will i grow old How will they hear When will they learn How will they know A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope i live to tell The secret i have learned, 'til then It will burn inside of me The truth is never far behind You kept it hidden well If i live to tell The secret i knew then Will i ever have the chance again Love is a battlefield ( Pat Benatar )
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands, love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield You're beggin' me to go, then makin' me stay Why do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to know, do i stand in your way Or am i the best thing you've had? Believe me, believe me, i can't tell you why But i'm trapped by your love and i'm chained to your side We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands, love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield We're losing control, will you turn me away or touch me deep inside? And when all this gets old, will it still feel the same? There's no way this will die But if we get much closer i could lose control And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands, love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield Lover man ( Billie Holiday )
I don't know why but i'm feeling so sad I long to try something i never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what i've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be? The night is cold and i'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be? I've heard it said That the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what i've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be?

Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters i've written Never meaning to send Beauty i'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause i love you Yes i love you Oh how i love you Gazing at people Some hand in hand Just what i'm going thru They can understand Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be You will be in the end And i love you Yes i love you Oh how i love you Oh how i love you Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters i've written Never meaning to send Beauty i'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause i love you Yes i love you Oh how i love you Oh how i love you 'Cause i love you Yes i love you Oh how i love you Oh how i love you Oh danny boy ( Traditional )
Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and i must bide. But come you back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis i'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh danny boy, oh danny boy, i love you so. And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And i am dead, as dead i well may be You'll come and find the place where i am lying And kneel and say an "ave" there for me. And i shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I simply sleep in peace until you come to me Ohio ( Neil Young )

Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley-folk below On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath the stone And the valley-people swore They'd have it for their very own Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of heaven You can justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day On the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away On saturday afternoons in 1963 ( Rickie Lee Jones )
The most as you'll ever go Is back where you used to know If grown-ups could laugh this slow Where as you watch the hour snow Years may go by So hold on to your special friend Here, you'll need something to keep her in Won't you stay inside this foolish grin Cause any day your secrets end Then again Years may go by You saved your own special friend Cause here you need something to hide her in And you stay inside that foolish grin When everyday now secrets end Oh and then again Years may go by The most as you'll ever go Is back where you used to know If grown-ups could laugh this slow Where as you watch the hour snow Years may go by Years may go by So hold on to your special friend Here, you'll need something to keep her in Won't you stay inside the foolish grin Cause any day your secrets end Then again Years may go by Years may go by Philadelphia ( Neil Young )

It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then i'm going to quit this crazy scene Oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on I wish i had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish i had a river i could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, i wish i had a river i could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and i'm sad Now i've gone and lost the best baby That i ever had I wish i had a river i could skate away on Oh, i wish i had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish i had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish i had a river i could skate away on Running to stand still ( U2 )
And so she woke up From where she was lying still Said we got to do something about where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain Maybe run from the darkness in the night Singing ha la la la de day Singing ha la la la de day Sweet the sin But bitter the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But i only see one way out You got to cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison, from the poison stream, Then i floated out of here Singing ha la la la de day Singing ha la la la de day She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging and the storm blows up in her eyes She will suffer the needle chill She is running to stand still Sentimental journey ( Doris Day )
Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, i got my reservation Spent each dime i could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that 'all aboard' Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waiting up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearning Why did i decide to roam? Gotta take this sentimental journey Sentimental journey home She's leaving home ( The Beatles )
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hope would say more She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key Stepping outside she is free She (we gave her most of our lives) Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives) Home (we gave her everything money could buy) She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye Father snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy, our baby's gone Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly How could she do this to me She (we never thought of ourselves) Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves) Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Meeting a man from a motor trade She (what did we do that was wrong) Is having (we didn't know it was wrong) Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy) Something inside that was always denied for so many years She's leaving home Bye, bye Something ( George Harrison )
Something in the way she moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way she woos me I don't want to leave her now You know i believe and how Somewhere in her smile she knows That i don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know i believe and how You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, i don't know You stick around now, it may show I don't know, i don't know Something in the way she knows And all i have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know i believe and how You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, i don't know You stick around now, it may show I don't know, i don't know Something in the way she knows And all i have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now... You know i believe and how.... Songbird ( Christine McVie )
For you, there'll be no more crying For you, the sun will be shining And i feel that when i'm with you It's alright, i know it's right To you, i'll give the world To you, i'll never be cold 'Cause i feel that when i'm with you It's alright, i know it's right And the songbirds are singing Like they know the score And i love you, i love you, i love you Like never before And i wish you all the love in the world But most of all, i wish it from myself And the songbirds keep singing Like they know the score And i love you, i love you, i love you Like never before, like never before Song from half mountain ( Dan Fogelberg )
Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find Now the dream is rising In a moment it will be past This breath is my first It will all too soon be my last And on a windy coast I made several toasts To you and me and the sea And no one heard Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find Stay awake ( Mary Poppins / Julie Andrews )
I sing this to my little one It's time to go to sleep It's time to go to sleep now... Stay awake don't rest your head Don't lie down upon your bed While the moon drifts in the skies Stay awake, don't close your eyes Stay awake, don't close your eyes Summertime ( George Gershwin )
Summertime, time, time Child, the living's easy Fish are jumping out And the cotton, lord Cotton's high, lord, so high Your daddy's rich And your mama's good-looking She's looking good now Hush, little baby Don't you cry One of these mornings You're gonna rise, rise up singing You're gonna spread your wings Child, and take, take to the sky Lord, the sky But until that morning Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now No, no, no Don't you cry There is a balm in gilead ( Traditional )
There is a balm in gilead To make the wounded whole There is a balm in gilead To heal the sin sick soul Sometimes i feel discouraged And think my work's in vain But then the holy spirit Revives my soul again If you can not preach Like peter If you can not pray Like paul You can tell the love of jesus And say, "he died for all" Thunder road ( Bruce Springsteen )
The screen door slams, mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch. As the radio plays Roy orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and i want you only Don't turn me home again, i just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside, darling you know just what i'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me Oh-oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright, babe, that's alright with me Tiny dancer ( Elton John )
Blue jean baby, l.a. Lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in mine, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for god Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows the tune she hums But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When i say softly slowly Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today Blue jean baby, l.a. Lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand U.S. marine corps hymn ( Traditional )
From the halls of montezuma To the shores of tripoli We will fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean We are proud to claim the title Of united states marine Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun We have fought in ev'ry clime and place Where we could take a gun In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes You will find us always on the job-- The united states marines Here's health to you and to our corps Which we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve If the army and the navy Ever look on heaven's scenes They will find the streets are guarded By united states marines Vincent (starry starry night) ( Don McLean )
Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land Now i understand what you tried to say to me How you suffered for you sanity how you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in vincent's eyes of chine blue Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand For they could not love you, but still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night You took your life as lovers often do, But i could have told you, vincent, This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now i think i know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for you sanity how you tried to set them free They would not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will We've only just begun ( Paul Williams & Roger Nichols )
We've only just begun to live White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way And yes, we've just begun Before the rising sun we fly So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run And yes, we've just begun Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talking it over just the two of us Working together day to day Together And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow And yes, we've just begun The wheels on the bus ( Judy Gershon )
The wheels on the bus go round and round Round and round Round and round All day long The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish Swish swish swish Swish swish swish The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish All day long The people on the bus goes chatter chatter chatter Chatter chatter chatter Chatter chatter chatter The people on the bus goes yeah yeah yeah All day long The babies on the bus go "wah wah Wah wah wah Wah wah" The baby on the bus go... All day, all day long The mamas on the bus says "shhh shhh Shhh shhh Shhh shhh" The mamas on the bus says "shhh shhh" All day long When i was dreaming ( Tori Amos )
When i was dreaming Fight, i could fight with the best And i never was on the fence Laugh, i could laugh when i heard the guitar Of the circus man When i was dreaming It seemed my world went away As you were leaving i could see That i couldn't find what i used to in your eyes Isn't it time, yeah Maybe it's time, yeah When i was dreaming It seemed my world went away As you were leaving i could see That i couldn't find what i used to in your eyes When i was dreaming, it seemed my world went away As you were leaving, i could see That you couldn't find what you used to in my eyes When i was dreaming, ooh yeah When i was dreaming, ooh yeah... When sunny gets blue ( Jack Segal )
When sunny gets blue Skies get grey and cloudy And the rain begins to fall Pitter patter, pitter patter Love is gone So what can i do No sweet lover man comes to call Oh when sunny gets blue Oh when sunny gets blue She breathes a sigh of sadness Like the winds that sway the trees. Winds that set the leaves a-sway Like the violins that play Strange and haunting melodies Oh when sunny gets blue Sunny gets blue When sunny gets blue People used to love to see her laugh And see her smile That's how she got her name Since that sad affair She's lost her smile Changed her style Somehow she's not the same The memories come back And pretty dreams rise up Where the other dreams fell through Hurry new love, hurry here Kiss away each lonely tear Hold me near when Sunny gets blue Oh yes, when sunny gets blue Sunny gets blue When sunny gets blue Sunny gets blue Whole lotta love ( Led Zeppelin )
You need coolin' Baby, i'm not foolin' I'm gonna send you back to schoolin' Way down inside Honey, you need it I'm gonna give you my love I'm gonna give you my love Oh, wanna whole lotta love A whole lotta love You've been learnin' Baby, i been learnin' All them good times Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby I, i, i've been yearnin' Way down inside Honey, you need it I'm gonna give you my love I'm gonna give you my love Oh, wanna whole lotta love A whole lotta love Yes...

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one *** Windows of the world ( Burt Bacharach )
The windows of the world are covered with rain Where is the sunshine we once knew Everybody knows when little children play They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain When will those dark skies turn to blue Everybody knows when boys grow into men They start to wonder when their country will call Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain There must be something we can do Everybody knows when little children play It's really angel tears. They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall Let the sun shine through The windows of the world are covered with rain When will those dark skies turn to blue Blue.... With a little help from my friends ( The Beatles )
What would you think if i sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me Lend me your ears and i'll sing you a song And i'll try not to sing out of key Oh, i get by with a little help from my friends Mm, i get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends What do i do when my love is away Does it worry you to be alone How do i feel by the end of the day Are you sad because you're on your own No, i get by with a little help from my friends Mm, i get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends Do you need anybody I need somebody to love Could it be anybody I want somebody to love Would you believe in a love at first sight Yes, i'm certain that it happens all the time What do you see when you turn out the light I can't tell you but i know it's mine Oh, i get by with a little help from my friends Mm, i get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends Do you need anybody I just need someone to love Could it be anybody I want somebody to love Oh, i get by with a little help from my friends With a little help from my friends Wrapped around your finger ( Sting )
You may consider me the young apprentice Caught between the scylla and charibdes Hypnotized by you if i should linger Staring at the ring on your finger I have only come here seeking knowledge Things they wouldn't teach me in college I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger Mephistopheles is not your name But i know what you're up to just the same I will listen hard to your tuition And you will see it come to its fruition I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger Devil and the deep blue sea behind me Vanish in the air you'll never find me I will turn your face to alabaster Then you will find your servant is your master And you'll be wrapped around my finger...
You'll Be Taken Care Of (David Byrne & Fatboy Slim feat. Tori Amos / Here Lies Love LP) Precious little children - what can I do? Someday they'll remember - what I told you Did it together just you and me Without a man in this family I didn't raise them - it's you they love They will remember the things you've done Sometimes I felt that I've lost my mind Things didn't work out the way we planned And when they grow up and they make good They will repay what I owe to You'll be taken care of And they'll remember you Precious little children On that you can be sure You will never want for more When they grow up they'll be kind and smart And you will see that they'll all go far I haven't long but I know it's true These little ones owe a lot to You'll be taken care of And they'll remember you Precious little children On that you can be sure You will never want for more You'll be taken care of They'll remember you Someday they will give you Things I never could You'll be taken care of On that you can be sure If there's any justice in this world you'll never want for more Someday - I promise you Remember - What I say is true Someday - I promise you Remember - What I say is true

So many nights, i sit by my window Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dreams i kept deep inside me Alone in the dark, now you've come along And you light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song Rolling at sea, adrift on the water Could it finally be, i'm turning for home Finally a chance to say, hey, i love you Oh never again to be alone And you, light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song It can't be wrong when it feels so right Cause, you light up my life You make me feel brand new ( The Stylistics )
My love, i'll never find the words, my love To tell you how i feel, my love Mere words, could not, explain Precious love, you held my life within your hands Created everything i am Taught me how to live again Only you, cared when i needed a friend Believed in me through thick and thin This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love God bless you, you make me feel brand new For god blessed me with you You make me feel brand new I sing this song cause you Make me feel brand new Whenever i was insecure, sweet boy You filled me up and made me sure You gave, my pride, back to me Precious friend, with you i'll always have a friend You're someone who i can depend To walk a path that sometimes bend Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme Like notes to a song out of time How can i repay, you for having faith in me God bless you, you make me feel brand new For god blessed me with you You make me feel brand new I sing this song for you Make me feel brand new...mmmm... You needed me ( Anne Murray )
I cried a tear You wiped it dry I was confused You cleared my mind I sold my soul You bought it back for me And held the earth You gave me dignity Somehow you needed me You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high Upon a pedestal So high that i could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's you I needed you And you were there And i'll never leave, why should i leave? I needed you I finally found someone who really cares (you needed me) You held my hand It was cold And i was lost You took me home You gave me love That i was at the end I turned my life Back into truth again you even called me 'friend' You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high Upon a pedestal So high that i could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me You needed me You needed me Oh, yes, you needed me You needed me
