Keren Ann 101 Lyrics
1.My Name Is Trouble

My name is trouble, my first name's a mess
No need to greet me, I'm here to confess.
That if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath.
And if you let me love you I will love to death

My chase is endless I tend to obsess.
No game is up to my need to possess.
But if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love you to death

I'm petrified of emptiness, let aside the loneliness
And lovers tend to break me in two
If you were to come back to me, in pieces or in melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble my first name's a mess
Born to deceive you, brought up to redress
And if you let me hold you, I won't hold my breath
But if you make me need you I will need you less.

I'm petrified of emptiness, let aside the loneliness
And lovers tend to break me in two
If you were to come back to me, in pieces or in melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble, my first names a mess
No need to greet me, I'm here to confess.
That if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love to death

But if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love you to death


2.Run With You

Let alone the breath of wind that you're bringing,
It's through the cords of your guitar that I'm singing
It hits me when I hear they say
That today it's just an ordinary day!
My dizzy heart has never warn me from showing
That when you're not around my world keeps on going
But here and now I can't deny it's been a while
And not a single day goes by.

I wanna run with you,
Wanna feel the sun with you!
I want it again with you!

It's not the life that I was hoping to borrow
Know that you and I, we got no tomorrow!
It breaks me when I hear them say
That today is just an ordinary day!

I wanna run with you,
Wanna feel the sun with you!
I want it again with you!


3.All The Beautiful Girls

All the beautiful girls
They wanna stay late
And finish the wine
In your luxury basement.
They swing in velvet and pearls
And like t debate
Pollock and Kline,
Ginsberg and Korsow.
With a slight foreign accent
You drip the paint from a can
And abundantly blush and invisible sun
But instead of a brush
You wish you had a gun!

If they leave you alone with your misery
Deep in the fire of your fame
You'll be begging them blind
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Of every kind!

All the beautiful girls
They wanna stay late
They never complain
As they lean on my back
They walk-in with fancy hellos
To great the unknown
And redecorate my second-hand wardrobe
With a fashionable smack,
I sip the rest of the wine
While I hear them repeat what upsets me the most
That instead of a man, I married a ghost!

If they leave you alone with your misery
Deep in the fire of your fame
You'll be begging them blind
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Of every kind!


4.Sugar Mama

YOU'RE HARDLY A SUPERSTAR
BUT YOU'RE A SERIOUS MAN
YOU NEED A SERIOUS CAR
AND SOME GIRL WITH A PLAN
SO TAKE ME FOR A RIDE, YOU CAN SUPPRISE ME
SOMEWHERE IN THE WILD, YOU CAN LAY DOWN BESIDE ME
YOU KNOW I NEED A SPECIAL FRIEND AND I GOT DOLLAR BILLS TO SPEND

SUGAR MAMA, SUGAR
I CAN GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED
YOU CAN'T REFUSE THE FANCY SHOES AND DRINKS WITH ALL THE WHO'S
AND WHO'S
SUGAR MAM, SUGAR
LOVE AND MONEY GUARANTEED
I WANNA USE YOU AND ABUSE YOU, YOU AIN'T GOT TOO MUCH TO LOSE

I ONCE HAD A SUPERSTAR
HE WAS A FRIVOLOUS MAN
HE DROVE A FRIVOLOUS CAR
AND WE BOTH HAD A PLAN
WE WERE HANGING IN BARS
I WAS LOOSING MY HEAD
THEN A YOUNG FRIEND OF OURS
TOOK MY PLACE IN MY BED
YOU KNOW I NEED A SPECIAL FRIEND AND I GOT DOLLAR
BILLS TO SPEND

SUGAR MAMA, SUGAR
I CAN GIVE WANT YOU NEED
YOU CAN'T REFUSE THE FANCY SHOES AND DRINKS WITH ALL THE WHO'S
AND WHO'S
SUGAR MAMA, SUGAR
LOVE AND MONEY GUARANTEED
I WANNA USE YOU AND ABUSE YOU, YOU AIN'T GOT TOO MUCH TOO LOSE

YOU'RE HARDLY A SUPERSTAR
BUT YOU'RE A SERIOUS MAN
YOU NEED A SERIOUS CAR
AND SOME GIRL WITH A PLAN


5.She Won't Trade It For Nothing


6.You Were On Fire


7.Blood On My Hands

I was the darling no one could defeat
Grand hotel suites were my home
Men at my feet, limousines in the street
First class to paris and rome
He walked unannounced through my dressing room door
And then from a case if you will
He pulled out a winchester pre-64
And said: 'are you ready to kill?'

Then there was blood on my shoes
There was blood on my makeup
There was blood on the ceiling
There was blood on the piano
There was blood on my microphone
There was blood on my fans
There was blood in my whiskey
Now there's blood on my hands

So i went on the run to win nobody's heart
Got into a terrible fix
He was tall unattractive and living apart
But he carried a 30-06

Then there was blood on my shoes
There was blood on my makeup
There was blood on the ceiling
There was blood on the piano
There was blood on the bartender
There was blood on the band
There was blood in my whiskey
Now there's blood on my hands

Now there is blood on my shoes
There is blood on my makeup
There is blood on the ceiling
There is blood on the piano
There is blood on my microphone
There is blood on my fans
There is blood in my whiskey
And there's blood on my hands


8.Song From A Tour Bus


9.Strange Weather

She'll take you back,
Don't make believe
You wanna think it through.
I've loved before,
I love again,
I know that yours was true!

Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter!
I see them shining through your drunken eyes,
Carving silver is strange weather.

I'll meet a man,
We'll make a home
And travel to the deep
Of further lines,
While hidden dreams
The broken hearted keeps.

Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter!
I see them shining through your drunken eyes,
Carving silver is strange weather.

She'll take you back,
Don't make believe
You wanna think it through!
I've loved before,
I'll love again,
I know that yours was true!

Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter!
I see them shining through your drunken eyes,
They only want me in strange weather!
In a small room, on a naked floor,
With the blinded heart of black matter
I could hear you through the front door
Carving silver is strange weather.
