Little Spoon
Won’t you be my little spoon / Let me keep you safe and warm
Polish you make you shine / Let me hug you / from behind
Let me love you / and ease your mind / Let me love you and ease your mind
Won’t you be my Big spoon too / Be my everything, Be all and true
Polish me Make me shine, shine, shine / Won’t you hug me / from behind
Won’t you love me And ease my mind / Won’t you love me And ease my mind
My mind / my mind / my mind / my mind / love me and easy my mind
Qui Veut Dire Oui
I might talk, such, a good game / Swear you are all, you’re all the same
I’ll loudly refuse to be claimed / Won’t be played, can’t be tamed
I’ll fight so hard not to let on / How fa-ar gone, I really am gone
Pretend I’m so strong, so strong / I just don’t need anyone
You’re bound to think, you’ll surely need / Some kind of rocket, just to reach
That li-i-ttle part, inside of me / qui veut, dire oui, qui veut, dire oui
When I just have to say hello / And you just have to tell me so
So I-I can finally let you know / Je veut, dire oui, Je veut, dire oui
The Easy Kind
I don’t have any where to be / except where the sun can shine on me
Somewhere the breeze can feel my skin / and I can soak it all in
I ain’t gonna waste no more time / unless it’s the easy kind
Nothing like a la-zy day / to chase all your tension away
Get some perspective in your mind, in your mind / leave all that noise behind
I ain’t gonna waste no more time / unless it’s the easy kind
You don’t have any where to be / ‘cept for right here, next to me
Sit back and let the sun, warm your skin, warm your skin / I’ll sit back and soak it all in
I ain’t gonna waste no more time / Unless it’s the easy kind
I ain’t gonna waste no more time / Unless it’s the easy kind
Maybe You’re Amazed
You wanna know what it’s gonna take to win me back / You want me to tell you what to do
It’s time {it’s time} for you {for you} to {to} decide / What it is I, I mean to you
You already know this ain’t no contest / You already know that you can’t lose.
The only one you are fighting against is yourself / And one of you, better choose
It’s time for you to figure out what you want / You need to be who I know you can be.
You’re gonna have to learn to put me first / And then, and then, maybe
Maybe you’re afraid at the way I love you all the time / Maybe you’re amazed at the way you love me
Maybe you’re amazed / Maybe you’re amazed / Maybe you’re amazed
At the way you love me / You love me
How Soon Can You Leave?
You keep on telling me How you’re too good, good for me / And how you are probably My best, last chance
You keep on saying how If I don’t turn my act around / One of these days you just might Up and dance away
I used to want to know What I had done to you / And what I had to do To make it right
Well all I want to know now Deep in my soul now / Is how soon Can you leave
I used to search for the key to make you finally love me / To make you happy Night after night after night
But now I’ve come to realize, there’s nothing I can do that’s right / That would ever satisfy you cause you’re broken inside
I used to want to know What I had done to you / And what I had to do To make it right
Well all I want to know now Deep in my soul now / Is how soon Can you leave
Did You Ever Do?
Keep your hands where I can see them I got my eyes, on, the door
Stop with how you love me now, I don’t want to hear that anymore
I think I knew it all along I think, I thought, we fought
For something real, n’now I’m sure You were just swinging for sport
If I can see it, so can you, you just can’t stand to lose
You don’t love me anymore And did you ever do?
Here you go-oh-oh again, Here I go, there we go
If I asked you what we’re fighting for would you, would you even know?
Cause in the end it’s still the end, and so it is, just like you said
You’ll bring out the worst in me, but I am way past that again
If I can see it, so can you, you just can’t stand to lose
You don’t love me anymore And did you ever do?
Please stop trying to convince me, convince me that we can work, this thing out
You never worked a day with me at least not where it counts, this counts
If I can see it, so can you, you just can’t stand to lose
You don’t love me anymore And did you ever do?
And did you ever do?
Another Lonely Sunday Night
Street sounds start to quiet down Darkness wraps its arms round the city
Another restless Sunday gives up On what might have been
Weekend plans all fizzled out Or fell apart in my hands
Can’t seem to get myself out the door I’m wasting days, and nights again
(Another lonely Sunday night)
Friends they try to talk me out Try to get me, ready to go
To where the bright lights shine shine shine But I already know
You won’t be there any more Than you’ll be here with me
And I’m bad company even for myself So I guess it’s bound to be
Another lonely Sunday night
They seem to come on faster now Though I know it’s still once a week
Somehow drag out longer too even with 24 hours to keep
Friends they try to lift my spirits While I stay home and lift these
I wish this weekend turned out different but again, it’s, bound, to be
Another lonely Sunday night
Another lonely Sunday night
Yes it’s just another lonely Sunday night
Better Days
Sometimes I feel like I’ve been / Walking for miles but my
Eden is getting no nearer no matter / how many hills I climb
Sometimes I feel like I can’t / Get out of my way
My words all desert me / When I finally have something to say
Sometimes / it’s so hard / to believe in / better days
Sometimes I feel like I am / Losing my life to what
Others think about me / To what they believe is right
Do you ever feel like / Just giving up
laying down your arms and / Drinking from the cup
Do you ever feel like / Just giving in
and bathing yourself / In your favorite sin
Sometimes / it’s so hard / to believe in / better days
Let’s runaway / Let’s just run away / We can go today / Let’s just run away
Sometimes / it’s so hard / to believe in / better days
All In (The Game)
Should you decide, should you decide, You’re ready to play the game
Make sure you know the game-they’re playing-be-fore-you-go / All in
All this talk about fixing things, All this promise of reform
Before you take the lid off you should learn / What it was really truly for
People try to make it anyway they can / I won’t apologize for them
But did you ever ask yourself / Why some start so far ahead
Some citizens just don’t understand / What is wrong in this land
Keep on praising our FREEDOM / With so many poor people in prison
Some say the lucky ones get out young / Didn’t end up on the wrong side of a gun
(I say) I say the lucky ones / Earn their place by being born
Should you decide, should you decide, should you decide, you’re ready to play the game
Make sure you know the game they’re playing before you go / All in
Make sure you know, make sure you know
Make sure you know, make sure you know
Make sure you know, the game they’re playing, before you go
All in
Mother of Exiles
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me*
Outside it’s cold and gray / People don’t get in my way
The margins are wide enough, to hide all of us
Who don’t belong in the light of day / Who look like they started from far away
Who were born and raised without a break, and bruised ever since
Sometimes I think I’ll get to go there
Sometimes I think I’ll find someone to care
Inside shines like a dream / Of freedom and time to breathe, of safety
Ways, and means, and justice indivisible
Sometimes I think I’ll get to go there
Sometimes I think I’ll find someone to care
But I’m not like them so they shun me / And hearts get hard so easily
When you’re afraid you’re losing your great dream
Round and round for a hundred years / Politicians trade on fears
While the Mother of Exiles slowly disappears
And with her all those streets of gold / And all the dreams our heart could hold
And all the promise of this promised land
Oh how I wish I could go there
How I wish I had someone to care
*The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus, 1883
Elegy
My love is a fair, strong, honest man / Who stands for what is good and right
A gentle soul, a gentleman / Not one to pick, or back down from a fight
My love was a fair, strong, honest man / Who stood for what is good and right
Till a soldier in blue pulled a gun on him / And shot him in the back last night
He didn’t have the choice to walk away. / Or the power to calm all the fright
Somewhere else they would have both breathed another day / Fear conquered without taking a life
Now I sit and rage at the ways of the world / And I stand and march in the streets
With my head held high and my hands held higher / Lest they make a martyr of me
Listen to all our stories now / Against 400 hundred years of lies
Count the villains in all your tales / And tell me the fear isn’t by design
They blamed him for the sins of his past / Blamed fear, and darkness of night
I pity the one who shot my man down / Can you blame the pen for the words it writes?
He didn’t have the choice to walk away / Or the power to calm all the fright
Somewhere else they would have both lived another day / Fear conquered without taking a life
Rise (Oh My City)
Walking down these dark city streets / Too early for early and too late for late
The corners are empty under starless skies / And that old moon won’t even show her face
The busses beep, the taxis elbow and curse / They’re all jostling to get to that red light first
Me I just want back to bed and back to black / And that makes it, and that makes it all, all the worse
Oh my city, it’s time for you to rise / Rub your eyes and stretch out in the light
The city takes its toll in nickels and dimes / Those who can’t pay the fare, you know you pay the fines
The less you have the less you shall receive / don’t you know it shouldn’t be that way, but
Still you see it, still you see it all, all the time
Oh my city, it’s time for you to rise / Rub your eyes and stretch out in the light
The sky fades from black to dirty gray / Another downtown dinosaur has lost his way
He lumbers along the Ave looking for scraps / Then belches and rumbles on his way
Oh my city, it’s time for you to rise / Rub your eyes and stretch out in the light
Oh why do you tell me these lies / Selling right for wrong and wrong for right
Private Battles
Be kind to the, people you meet
Cause they all got their own, private battles
All kinds of things that rattle around and keep them awake / At night
Lend a hand whenever you can
For someone you don’t know
Cause when nobody knows you, that’s when you need it / The most
Work to keep an, open mind
Even when you know you’re right
If it’s not hurting you, let them believe / What they want
Try not to try to control
What other people they do and they don’t
Live and let live, and let live and live / And live
Keep the ones you, love in your heart
And make sure to let them know their part
Take every chance, every chance to tell them how grateful / you are
Be sweet to the people you meet
Cause we all got our own, private battles
All kinds of things that rattle around and keep us awake / At night
Good night
Hush
Hush little baby, don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Sometimes you fall, and sometimes you fly
And if you fly too close, too close to the sun
Well at least you made yourself some fun
Hush little baby don’t say a word
Shout it out loud and make sure you’re heard
When you see something you know is just not right, in this world
Stand up and say so with all your might girl
And if you lose your voice shouting from that line
Mama’s gonna teach you how to make a great, big, sign
And if you’re afraid to stand up because of your size
Mamas going to show you how to organize
And if you’re afraid, you’re afraid, afraid / because of your size
Mamas going to show you how to organize
