thanks sp. i'm sure my kids need to be late today so I can do my project here...
1. Devendra Banhart- Feel Just Like a Child (plays in my head when H is around)
Well I feel just like a child Yeah I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child From my womb to my tomb I guess I'll always be a child Well some people try and treat me like a man Yeah some people try and treat me like a man Weel I guess they just don't understand Well some people try and treat me like a man They think I know [censored] But that's just it I'm a child Weel I need you to tell me what to wear Yeah I need you to help me comb my hair Yeah I need you to come and tie my shoes Yeah I need you to come and keep me amused From my cave to my grave I guess I'll always be a child Well I need you to help me reach the door And I need you to walk me to the store And I need you to please explain the war And I need you to heal me when I'm sore You can tell by my smile That I'm a child And I need you to sit me on your lap And I need you to make me take my nap Could you first pull out a book and Read me some of that Cause I need you to make me take my nap And I need you to recognize my friends Cause they're there even though You don't see them They got their own chair, plate, and a seat You know I won't touch my food Unless they eat From the roof to the floor I crawl around some more I'm a child And I need you to help me blow my nose And I need you to help me count my toes And I need you to help me put on my clothes And I need you to hide it when it shows From be my daddy's sperm To being packed in an urn I'm a child And when I steal you gotta Slap me til I cry Don't you stop til the tears run dry See I was born thinking under the sky I didn't belong to a couple of old wise guys From sucking on my mama's breast To when they lay my soul to rest I'm a child Well I guess I'm always be
2. Radiohead- Creep (how I've felt; I've indulged in listening to this in my less mojolific moments)
When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so f*cking special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so f*cking special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell I'm doing here? I don't belong here
She's running out the door She's running out She runs runs runs
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so [censored] special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here
3. The Guess Who-American Woman (that intro makes me feel mojolific and accepting of H leaving)
American Woman, stay away from me American Woman, mama let me be Don't come a hangin' around my door I don't wanna see your face no more I got more important things to do Than spend my time growin' old with you Now Woman, I said stay away American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
American Woman, get away from me American Woman, mama let me be Don't come a knockin' around my door Don't wanna see your shadow no more Coloured lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes Now Woman, I said get away American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay
American Woman, said get away American Woman, listen what I say Don't come a hangin' around my door Don't wanna see your face no more I don't need your war machines I don't need your ghetto scenes Coloured lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes Now Woman, get away from me American Woman, mama let me be
Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go I'm gonna leave you woman Gonna leave you woman Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye You're no good for me I'm no good for you Gonna look you right in the eye Tell you what I'm gonna do You know I'm gonna leave You know I'm gonna go You know I'm gonna leave You know I'm gonna go-o, woman I'm gonna leave you woman Goodbye American Woman Goodbye American chick
4. U2- One (cheesy but spot on)
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say...
One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's...
Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...
Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt
One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other
One...life
One
5. Stop That Train- Peter Tosh (sometimes it is about H and once in a while I'm hearing it from my POV)
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
All my good life I've been a lonely man Teaching the people who don't overstan' And even though I've tried my bes' I still don't find no happiness
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Some goin' east Some goin' west Some step aside to try their best Some livin' big But the most livin' small They just can't even find No food at all
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Stop that train I'm leaving...
6. Beck- Loser (fun to blast it and think of H)
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and Im out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin with a loser and the cruise control Babys in reno with the vitamin d Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat Someone came in sayin Im insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Dont believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park
Yo. cut it.
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber cuz ones got a weasel and the others got a flag Ones on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin from a pigeon wing You cant write if you cant relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite Thats chokin on the splinters
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (drive-by body-pierce) (yo bring it on down) Soooooooyy....
(Im a driver, Im a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (I cant believe you) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (schprechen sie deutches, baby) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (know what Im sayin? )
7. Bonnie Rait (yep, that's right)- I Can't Make you Love Me (this is the mother-load of pain...just cry it out)
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close, dont patronize - dont patronize me
Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont You cant make your heart feel something it wont Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power But you wont, no you wont cause I cant make you love me, if you dont
Ill close my eyes, then I wont see The love you dont feel when youre holding me [Ouch, that hurts] Morning will come and Ill do whats right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont You cant make your heart feel something it wont Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power But you wont, no you wont cause I cant make you love me, if you dont
8. Carole King- It's Too Late (when you want to imbibe and take a few extra sleeping pills; I'm not pointing at anyone)
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time There's something wrong here There can be no denying One of us is changing Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breezy And I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide it And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you But we just can't stay together Don't you feel it too Still I'm glad for what we had And how I once loved you
But it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I... I just can't fake it Oh it's too late my baby Too late my baby You know It's too late my baby
And, piece de resistance , when the mojo gets flowing-
9. Gloria Gaynor - I will Survive (oh ya, sing it with me!)
First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry Now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
