Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

All I can ever be to you
Is a darkness that we know,
And this regret i got accustomed to.

Once it was so right
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.

I knew i hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why i got so attached.

It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away i have no capacity.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I don't understand,
Why do i stress a man,
When there's so many bigger things at hand,

We could've never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is an inevitable withdrawal.

Even if i stop wanting you
A perspective pushes true,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

I couldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above
A blaze.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I wish i could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In my blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry...

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me.

The Beatles - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground

'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

The Bees - Listening Man

The Bees - Listening Man

Tell me something away from trouble and away from doubting
Tell me straight from the spirit, from the top of the mountain
Let love be the reason between me and you
As real as the morning as fresh as the dew
If fates got a hold then it's up to you
It's a simple thing we've got to do

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Tell me something before I stumble and show my weakness
Tell me right on the limewire fighting for progress
I can hear there's a sound that's coming through
There's a post in the ground, so what we gonna do?
You can have all your dreams if you really believe in something that's... something true

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Getting carried through this land

Tell me something without any lies that cover my feelings
Give me time now I understand these lessons have meaning
Let love be the reason between me and you
As real as the morning as fresh as the dew
If fates got a hold then it's up to you
It's a simple things we've go to do

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Getting carried through this land

Just a listening man
Doing the best I can
Just a listening man

I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man

The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me

The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me

It's six in the morning
And there's no one else around
The mist has fallen
As i look out on the town

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

It's too close for tears
And it's too hard to forget
It's too close for tears
I think i thought i said

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

The face in the mirror
It's a face i've never met
Until i forgive her i'll remember to forget

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

And the hours, they build
From underneath the spell, once again

It's six in the evening
And i'm sweeping up the day
The people beneath them
But i am here to stay

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the Train

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the Train

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a holiday

You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I miss the crush and i'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Stepping through the sky and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day

You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

You and i should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and i when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know i feel the sorrow

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you need days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la

The Coral - Dreaming of You

The Coral - Dreaming of You

What's up with my heart when it skips a beat (skips a beat)
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I don't want you now

When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
Its gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye (say goodbye)

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I dont want you now

Oh yeah

Ohhh Ohhhhh

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I dont want you now

Supergrass - Moving

Supergrass - Moving

Moving, just keep moving,
Till I don't know what's sane,
I've been moving so long,
The days all feel the same,

Moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know why to stay,
No ties to bind me,
No reasons to remain,

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time,

There's a mow, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I keep you in mind,

So I'll keep moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know who I am,
No need to follow,
There's no way back again,

Moving, keep on moving,
Where I feel I'm home again,
And when it's over,
I'll see you again,

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time,

There's a mow, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I keep you in mind

Ride - In a Different Place

Ride - In a Different Place

Blowing bubbles, lying down,
Waiting for the rain to fall.
Laughing at the people,
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down.

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping,
And we're smiling, when we're waking.

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold,
I will feel fine.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed,
But you and I are in a different time.

Floating in and out of time,
In and out of space.
No-one can touch us,
We're in a different space.

Mika - Grace Kelly



( - I wanna talk to you.
- The last time we talked Mr Smiths, you reduced me to tears. I promise it won't happen again
.)*

Do I attract you
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile
Am I too dirty
Am I too flirty
Do I like what you like

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me without making me try

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you walk out the door

( - Getting angry doesn't solve anything.)

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself
Should I bend over
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

( - xxx, we're leaving.)**



* Are these right? I've typed as i hear.
** I don't get what she says. If you do, please let me know.
*** Mika, i guess i've fallen in love with you.

Blur - Clover Over Dover

Blur - Clover Over Dover.mp3

I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
Thinking it's over and over
But if I jump it's all over
A cautionary tale for you

I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of Dover
And then I let you push me over

If that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where its at
And it's over
Oh, if that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where it's at
And it's over
Yes it is

And now the bluebirds are over (I'm floating away)
Over the white cliffs of dover (spent twenty years upon the sea)
And when you push me over (and when I come back)
Don't bury me, I'm not worth anything (I found that you took care to me)

If that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where it's at
And it's over

Yes it is.

*Special thanks to Tolga? ! Yes, this is the best Blur song ever. Don't worry; I'm aware of that.

The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere



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

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

The Beatles - Across the Universe

The Beatles - Across the Universe.mp3
Rufus Wainwright - Across the Universe.mp3
Fiona Apple - Across the Universe.mp3

words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
possessing and caressing me.
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world.

images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
that call me on and on across the universe,
thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
tumble blindly as they make their way
across the universe
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.

sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
through my open ears inciting and inviting me
limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
across the universe
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va.

Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good



Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say "What did you do with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray,
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly,
By the time I'm out the door,
You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy,
he's in a place but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes,
This is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet you, chips and pitta,
You say "when we married,"
Cause you're not bitter,
"there'll be none of him no more"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain,
We're like how we were again,
I'm in the tub, you on the seat,
Lick your lips as a I soak my feet
Then you notice likkle carpet burns,
My stomach drops and my guts churn,
You shrug and it's the worst,
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm

Brianstorm.mp3

Brian, top marks for not trying,
Just like you, to bless us with your efortlessness,
We're grateful and so strangely comforted,

And I wonder,
Are you playing us under,
Because we can't take our eyes,
Of your t-shirt and ties combination
But see you later elevator

Someone to kiss, someone to kick you,
There's not a net you couldn't slip through,
Well altleast that's the impression I get,
Because your smooth and your wet,
Your not away yet, but she's yours

We're saying use me,
Show me the jacuzzi,
I imagine that it's there on a plate,
You're a wrong liberate,
Easy you'll never be frightened to make them wait a while,
I doubt it's your style

Not to get,
What you set out to acquire,
The eyes are on fire,
You aren't even forcasted storm

Come collected and commanding,
You leave the other story standing,
With your initions and jokes,
But there's hundreds of blokes,
Who are wet, 'cause you've stolen their,

Thunder,
Are you putting us under,
Because we can't take our eyes of your t-shirt and ties combination,
Well see you later elevator

P.S. i couldn't find the original album cover, that's why i put this photo.

The Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You



Don't let your white dress wear you out
Oh, honey it's the look in your eyes
Oh, cause honey I can see you

All my life
I'd hurt the ones I loved
But baby you could turn it round

So just say it, say it anyway
It's so hard

No, I only want to find a way
I only want to fi-nd

She don't love me like you
She don't love me like you
She don't love me like you
She don't love
No she don't

Seal - Kiss from a Rose



There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance



Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said no
Oh no!
Oh you won't get me to go!
Anywhere, said anywhere
I won't go
Oh no no!

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Not in the same way
Not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no
