Don't Blow Me Away

|
[Verse 1]
We're the oceans, rivers, lakes, and seas
Our devotion is your apogee
[Verse 2]
We were soldiers on our bended knees
Now we're older, wandering the streets
[Chorus]
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
[Verse3]
We are always fighting for something
That is ours -- pacing cages, pacing
[Chorus]
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't blow me away, hеy, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hеy, don't!

[Chorus]
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!

Madonna
03:25
|

|
[Verse 1]
When you are in need of someone
That you can stand beside
I will reserve my judgment;
I won't be of two minds
[Chorus]
Hey my lady
Why believe in heaven?
'Cos you and me
Can believe in what we see -- it's all we need
[Verse 2]
Don't let my darkest moments
Define everything I've done
Only the worst you've noticed;
It isn't what I've become
[Bridge]
The pain I have given can't be forgiven
You have to live in hurt
Let's not repeat this
Let's end before these bridges have all been burnt
[Chorus]
Hey my lady
Why believe in heaven?
'Cos you and me
Can believe in what we see -- it's all we need
{Outro]
Hey my lady
Hey my lady

Strangers

|
[Chorus 1]
We have our scars, we wear them well
We have our scars, we wear them well
We have no time to heal ourselves
We have no time to heal ourselves
[Verse 1]
You say you don't give your name out to strangers
You feel that it's safer that way
I say, "I'll just call you 'Lois' and hope that we meet again
Someday
When the pain has gone away."
[Chorus 2]
We have our scars, we wear them well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
Wе have our scars, we wear thеm well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
[Verse 2]
Love is sad
She said the ink I'd collected were signs I'd accepted the pain
She's had
It went over my head in the moment
But I knew I'd understand someday
[Bridge]
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
[Verse 3]
I lay next to a beautiful stranger
Ignoring the danger I'm bound to face
If I could just let go, release my will, accept my fate
The pain would go away
[Chorus 3]
We have our scars, we wear them well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
We have our scars, we wear them well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
(Why don't we throw them away?)
[Outro]
Oooo, ooo, ooooooooooo
Oooo, ooo, ooooooooooo
Oooo, ooo, ooooooooooo

A Gentle Art
05:08
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Who are we? A gentle art
Feathering a deck of cards
Who are you without me?
And who am I supposed to be?
Who are we but what we are?
Flickering like burning stars
Who are you without me
And who am I supposed to be
Whenever we're apart?
[Verse 2]
Here we stand, where we stay
In an unfamiliar place
Here with all that I never sought
Here are all the things I've...
[Chorus 1]
Lost
Such a gentle art
[Verse 3]
Who are you now that I am gone?
Have you learned to be someone
Never weak, seldom strong
Tell me that you'll carry...
[Chorus 2]
On
Such a gentle art
[Post-Chorus]
A gentle art
A gentle art
[Bridge]
Everything has fallen apart
Should have known it right from the start
Only had one hand on your heart
Everything you do it my...
[Chorus 3]
Fault
Such a gentle art
Such a gentle art
As I tear your heart apart

After

|
[Verse 1]
Have a hand on control
The other reaches the unknown
The space between, is where I float
Expectations, TV stations
I am blind -- you don't see
[Chorus]
After the smoke clears
You know I will still be here
Once all the dust settles
I may be forever
[Verse 2}
"Tell me what you've done to the man I loved."
"Well, I killed him, a year ago."
"Give me every lettеr that you never thought I'd read
Not еver."
"Sorry I made you love me."
[Chorus]
After the smoke clears
You know I will still be here
Once all the dust settles
I may be forever
[Bridge]
I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you need not."
I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you will not have to..."
[Chorus]
After the smoke clears
You know I will still be here
Once all the dust settles
I may be forever
After the smoke clears
You know I will still be here
Once all the dust settles
I may be forever
[Outro]
I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you will not have to...
You will not have to."

An Evening To Myself
02:29
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I needed to want her
I could not do better
I wanted to need her
But I had just met her
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Verse 2]
I wore my pink t-shirt
Thought I’d get in for sure
She schooled me like a teacher
Then said, "Hey, it's my pleasure!"
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Bridge]
Ankle-deep in tributary streams
Grace upon her throne
I can’t help this force of habit
I can't be on my own...
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Outro]
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot

Jenny and Maurice
04:17
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Sittin' on cement on Carroll Street
Is Maurice
Three papers heroin and speed
Waitin' for daddy
Jail was always more forgiving
Every sunrise makes it worth living
From the ground he looks up to heaven but
Highrises gleam
[Pre-Chorus 1]
"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?"
[Verse 2]
Jenny, in a condo, waterfront
Lounging on snakeskin
Martini, T3, Tramacet
Daddy's gone again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it
[Chorus 1]
If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it
Come on and take a hit!"
[Verse 3]
Jеnny crosses town on the rarest day
Runs into Mauricе
"Lady, could you spare some charity
Before you call the police?"
They carry on, neither turns around
Hope to never see the other again
Twenty steps away, they say
"You may be just like me."
[Pre-Chorus 3]
"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?
You can have my life if you can take it."
"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it
[Chorus 2]
If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it
[Outro]
You wanna take a hit?
You wanna take a hit?"

Can You Hear Me?
04:56
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Hello, I'm the one
Who has shed the blood
Who has bled the skies
When I killed your son
It hit everyone
Right between the eyes
[Chorus]
Take my life, take your hand
Bury anger in the sand
You and I've got a story that
A passerby won't comprehend
Take a moment, lend an ear
We will not appear on late night TV, or AM radio;
We are not what they are wanting to hear
[Verse 2]
Hello, my dear friend
By you I will stand
Spill another tear
Is it our last chance
To exchange amends
To erase the fear?
[Chorus]
Take my life, take your hand
Bury anger in the sand
You and I've got a story that
A passerby won't comprehend
Take a moment, lend an ear
We will not appear on late night TV, or AM radio;
We are not what they are wanting to hear
[Outro]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
