Winter In the Blood - the Waterboys

There was a man who swore blind
that he could save me from dying
that he could cure all my pain
Just my luck he was lying
When he raised up his arms
said watch me summon the flood
Only one thing he brought to me
Winter in the blood

Now you're reaping my harvest
Now you've treaded my field
Now you'll turn the flesh of my mother
into your pressures and your heels

You have treated my women
with hands that were rough
seeded my children with
Winter in the blood

So what can you show me
what will you do
to make me believe
I'm the same kind of animal as you?

Did you think that if you laugh with me
that that would be enough?
Only one thing you gave me
Hey winter in the blood

So where will you go now
what deeds will you do
what tunnels and doorways
will you find your way through?

I wrote this song for you
Still it ain't enough
The one thing I owe you for
Winter in the blood

i was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

...

Then I go to my brother

And I say, "Brother, help me please"

But he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees

Oh there been times that I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
--

i dedicate this song to my Palestinian friends, outbound, inbound, or under soil.

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired-unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit
My final bellyache

With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden

J. Wolf / Herron / Frank Sinatra

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

"I'm The Only One"

Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make
it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

I’ll always treasure the naïvety
Of the past we've shared.
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds,
But together we got good at stopping time.

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself,
And I made you watch;
Oh, the pain I must have caused,
But by staying around you saved my life (saved my life)

We were never meant to be lovers (ahh)
Just fellow late bloomers,
Who blossomed apart (ahh)
(Who blossomed apart.)

Watching my parents
Made me look for something destructive,
And there you were.
With all the characteristics of my mom;
Familiarity of home.

The geographic gap led to forced adulthood,
And your rage exposed.
I’m glad we left things when we did;
I doubt I’d survive another bloody nose (bloody nose)

We were never meant to be lovers (ahh)
We just mirrored each other’s self destructiveness (ahh)
(Self destructiveness.)

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together.
And we played our parts,
And I wore an imaginary TV screen,
So you never got to touch my heart
(touch my heart)

We were never meant to be lovers (ahh)
Our egos fed off each other,
And died overweight (ahh)
(And died overweight.)

I thought I’d seen it all when you first walked in,
But you shut me up,
And challenged every wrong perception I’ve had of myself,
And you haven’t ever stopped.

THE WEDDING SONG (There is Love)
by Peter, Paul, & Mary

she made me admit I'm broken, i'm broken
shouldn't it after all that i preached I still can not accept
that i'm not a fit and once that of course the snowball,
snowballing down my spine
draws a perfectly imperfect line

is it just the weight cause the weight is what weighs me down again
or is it the scape goat the overly clumsy friend
there to take all the blame for what's really happening
this circle must come to an end

and i've always liked that about me that i know what i am fighting for
and for this i'd go to war weapon in mind is my main skin
swaddled on the only body part
that should matter my heart

the only way is to let go get rid of all the fears
of not being perfect my goal seems perfectly clear
and terrified if i let go i also lose myself
and i don't wanna be somebody else

and i've always liked that about me that i know what i am fighting for
and for this i'd go to war weapon in mind is my main skin
swaddled on the only body part
that should matter my heart

and what if i've always been good enough in my skin,
good enough in my skin?
and what if i've always been good enough in my skin,
good enough in my skin?

and i've always liked that about me that i know what i am fighting for
and for this i'd go to war weapon in mind is my main skin
swaddled on the only body part
that should matter my heart

You And I Ringtone
"You And I"

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I’d give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you

He said, sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me

Somethin', somethin' about this place
Somethin', somethin' 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about, baby, you and I

It's been two years since I let you go
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock 'n' roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday you sang me "A Heart Of Gold"
With a guitar hummin' and overload
This time I'm not leaving without you
Ooh-oh ooh-oh

Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me

Somethin', somethin' about this place
Somethin', somethin' 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about, baby, you and I

You and I, you, you and I
You, you and I, you, you and I

You and I, you, you and I
Oh, yeah, I'd rather die
Without you and I

C'mon!
Put your drinks up!

We got a whole lot of money but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven
There's only three men that I'mma serve my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ

Somethin', somethin' about the chase (six whole years)
I'm a New York woman born to run you down
Still want my lipstick all over your face
Somethin', somethin' about just knowing when it's right
So put your drinks up for Nebraska,
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love ya

You and I, you, you and I
Baby I rather die
Without you and I

You and I, you, you and I
Nebraska, I'd rather die,
Without you and I

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without you

BILLY PRESTON
"With You I'm Born Again"
feat. Syreeta
(David Shire and Carol Connor)

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Barbra Streisand
PEOPLE lyrics

Songwriters: STEIN, MARK / BOGERT, TIM / MARTELL, VINCENT / APPICE, CARMINE JR.

People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Were children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are

On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star

You'll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...

LYRICS... "There's Got To Be A Morning After"

There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light

Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time

There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know, we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

This one, again.
