Meredith Brooks Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Back To Nowhere

If you could have told me
I wouldn't find my way back home
Never would have closed the door i
Never would have left the phone unplugged
All night
Waiting for the sunrise to take me out of here
Back to nowhere

Wish you could have told me
Who knows if i, could have heard
Love don't make the reasons why
Some people just don't find the words to convey
The truth
Of the passion that they're feeling
Why do i keep falling back?
Back to nowhere

Wishing you could hold me
Like you used to in the dark
Lay your body next to mine
But does it anywhere, does your star
Are you sure, you're fine
But in case it's me you're missing
You should know i'd gladly go
Back to somewhere
Back to anywhere
I go
With you


2.Careful What You Wish For


3.Cosmic Woo Woo

Spirituality is a henna tattoo
That you wash off when you find something new to get into
Standing in the field with your flashlight blinking
uz somebody told you the aliens were thinking they want you
In the end it doesn really matter what you say or what you wear
So you think big g gives a ?how you get there
Buddhism, communism, hinduism,
Health foodism, lennonism, sexism
What about your own ism
Just get real
Don be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Just get real like this

When i was fifteen i made my mother rant
uz i joined a cult gave me words to chant to reach heaven
So i used them for the lotto and won big money
They shouted you're in don worry honey
This ain 7-11 get in and out
Pop psychology words don mean anything
When you throw them around to be cool
What goes around comes around
That what they say
Catholicism, footballism, judaism, racism, manism, womanism
What about humanism

Just get real
Don be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Just get real don be a cosmic woo woo
Be who you really are let everybody deal
Speak with your own voice just get real
Cosmic woo woo
Just get real


4.Lay Down(Candles In The Rain)

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Chorus:
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown

What if i told you were stupid, destructive, soulless
Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore

Chorus

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each others' wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Some came to sing
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the night
So raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Chorus (repeat)


5.Shout

It's 2:00 a.m. and the neighbors are jumpin'
Mr. cray threatens to call the police
He jumps out of bed hits his head
Now you got something to really shout about
Everybody's got their eye on the t.v.
Did bill and monica do it the floor
The bombs go off and we're at war
Now we've got something to really get mad about

You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Get something to shout about
Yeah yeah yeah shout it shout about

The stewardess doesn't have vegetarian
There's no leg room, you've seen the movie twice
The plane goes down and smashes on the ground
Now you've got something to really freak you out

You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Get something to shout about
Yeah yeah yeah shout it shout about

So much wasted on unimportant things
Throw away the precious time
When there's so much that really needs changin'

You're driving home and the traffic isn't budging
Layin' on the horn adding to the mess
Then y2k shuts down la
Now you got something to really freak you out

You got something to shout about baby
Yeah something to shout about
'cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Shout it out

Get something to shout about baby
You need something to shout about
'cause if you're gonna shout
Do it good and loud
Shout it out, shout about


6.Sin City

In this town of pain
You could be the lucky one
Fate turns on a dime
The only thing that will change
Are the lights when they get brighter
They replace the sun

Out the door, you get burned
And there is no way back in
You've got nothing
Snake eyes, the house always wins

Chorus:
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave sin city
Where you are king

In this room of shame
You could sink this town
And breathe another day
The mirror faces you
You cannot look away
Blood is on your hand
The streets will be the same
Under your feet like quicksand
Touch the face where a kiss of hope can last

Chorus
Ooohhh where you are king ooohhh

A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave sin city

Just one kiss from the shadow
Will be the touch of an angel
Just one kiss is all that you need
If you never leave sin city
You never leave sin city
You never leave sin city
Where you are king

Just one kiss ohhhh-oh-oh-oh
Where you are king (repeat)
