Sheryl Crow Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.All By Myself

When i was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends i've known
When i dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes i feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When i was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone


2.All Kinds Of People

There's a time for love, and a time for healing
You can't go back and undo what's been done
Word of mouth, time is revealing
Just how far we've let this kingdom come

Hand in hand, we're finding our way
And today is just tomorrow's yesterday

Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world

Yeahhhh

A kiss of life, and the hand of faith
A boy grows up into his father's son
And he learns to love, he's been taught to hate
To carry on the way it has been done

All our lives it's debts to repay
And then someday we can put the past away

Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world

Yeahhhh

In a moment, things can change
One look behind and it's never the same

Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
(all kinds of people of people in this world)
Some will die for you, some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world
Some will die for you; some would lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way,
There's all kinds of people in this world


3.Blue Christmas

i'll have a blue christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinkin' about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won't be the same dear if you're not here with me

And when the blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when the blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' alright with your christmas of white
And i'll have a blue, blue christmas

You'll be doin' alright with your christmas of white
And i'll have a blue, blue christmas
And i'll have a blue, blue christmas
And i'll have a blue, blue christmas


4.Carolina

Carolina
Her tears are falling like the spanish moss
Disappearing
Into beauty found in beauty lost

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solice in remembering
The words we never said

Faded postcards
Of all the places she loves best
Take her far away
As she presses wrinkles from her cotton dress

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight falling on a bed
And there can be no solice in remembering
The words we never said

So it goes
The summer blooms and fades away
Like moonlight crashing to the earth
And there can be no solice in remembering
The way things never were


5.Crystal

Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth
Bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
And i knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea, yeah

How the faces of love have changed
Turning the pages
And i have changed oh, but you
You remain ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
And i knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea, yeah
To the sea, yeah

I turned around and the water was closing around me
I turned around and the water was closing around me

7.Father Sun

Strange imaginations, children hide your secrets well
Is it not temptation, makes you kiss and makes you tell?
There's a traveler on the airwaves, and he's pleading for my
heart
Light up all the candles, i'm still in the dark

Hurry operator, get redemption on the line
Pull back the curtains, i think i recognize those eyes
If love is so criminal, then my penance due
'cause i'm still holding onto letters written straight to you

Oh, won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun

I swore i needed you in the back of my mind
Laid the beads upon the table, right beside the wine
It seems that we say forever, but forever's just a word
'and i will be coming back for you' is all i heard

Oh, won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun
Please don't forget me, father sun, father sun

I think i hear him whispering
'put your hand in my hand and you won't feel a thing'

Oh, won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun

Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that you're the only one
Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun
Oh won't you save me, father sun, father sun

Oh won't you save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, father
sun


8.Free Man

I sold my house, i sold my car
I took a job at milly's bar
I met a man who was running from the government
Ah he wants to be a free man yeah
Ah he wants to be a free man yeah

He took me out to his campsite
I met his friends
They seemed alright
Until i noticed everybody seemed real upright
They just wanna be a free man now
They just wanna be a free man now
They just wanna be a free man now

Pardon me man
Oh but who's your mother
Oh and didn't she say
You should love one another

He showed me how to load a piece
To shoot it straight between the teeth
And the next thing i know i think i've fallen in love
And i'm living with a free man now
Now i'm cooking for the free man now

He took me out in his old truck
He told me anyone who ain't white sucks
That's when i realized i'd made a big mistake
Oh i'm running from the free man now
Oh i'm running from the free man now
Oh i'm running from the free man now

Oh but pardon me man
Oh who's your mother
And didn't she teach you
She should love one another

Late one night i snuck away
To use the phone so i could say
I'd appreciate a little bit of government
Cause i'm married to a free man now
Oh i'm married to a free man now
Yeah i'm married to a free man now

Well i'm married to a free man now
Yeah i'm married to a free man now
Oh i'm married to a free man now
I think i'm running from a free man,
Running from a free man,
Running from a free man now
Oh i'm running from a free man now
Oh i'm running from a free man now


9.Hundreds Of Tears

I stood in the warmth of the light
Chilled to the bone
Hundreds of faces in sight
Still i was alone

Door after door
And room after empty room
I've stood here before
But under a different moon

In the longest days and the darkest nights
Down the longest road there's a presence of light
I hear a voice that calls me
It's love's name i call
In the end

I've walked in and out of the fire
Between truth and lies
Now how many children watch
While one child crys

I'll tear down these walls
And watch while their souls are freed
I'll throw away pride
To drown in this endless sea

In the longest days and the darkest nights
Down the longest road there's a presence of light
I hear a voice that calls me
It's love's name i call
In the end

Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me

In the longest days and the darkest nights
Down the longest road there's a presence of light
In the longest days and the darkest nights
Down the longest road there's a presence of light
I hear a voice that calls me
It's love's name i call
In the end

Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me
Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me
Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me
Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me


10.I Feel Happy

Mamma's got a feeling, she's up all night
Do we give in?
Do we let go of the fight?
Well i don't know

Don't wanna be down, dragged through, messed around
Everybody's got their little fights to fight
I say no

I feel happy
I feel happy
I feel happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no

Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, i'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time

So cool to be suicidal
Maybe i will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life

I feel happy
I feel happy
I feel happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no

Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, i'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time

So cool to be suicidal
Maybe i will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life

I feel happy
I feel happy
I feel happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no


11.I Will Walk With You

Cover your heart, put on your mask
Dance with me slowly, is all that i ask
What is the hardest, falling or not
Knowing just where to begin or start

I will walk, i will walk, with you
I will walk with you

Lay down beside me, tell me your dreams
The view from inside is not what it seems
But no one will hurt you, not like before
Your last thread of forgiveness won't reach the door, noooo

I will walk, i will walk, with you
I will walk with you
I will walk, i will walk, with you
I will walk with you

I will walk, i walk with you

Pull up the curtains
Watch the night fall
Who has the answers when nobody calls
Now rely on fury, blame the sun rise last
Cause i was in love with you, but i can't change the past

I will walk, i will walk with you
I will walk with you (with you)
I will walk, i will walk with you
I will walk with you


12.If You Ever Did Believe

You've left me now
And it's seasoned my soul
And with every step you take,
I watch another part of you go

I continue to build a wall
You were so strong,
I fell to my knees
And i don't think i can handle this at all

Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes and feel
To make you smile,
I'd like to be there for you--
Have you forgotten me?

And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will i have to spend?

My mind won't rest
And i don't sleep
Not even in my dreams

If you ever did believe
For my sake
If you ever did believe

And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will i have to spend?

And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will i have to spend?

Well one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes and feel
To make you smile,
I'd like to be there for you--
Have you forgotten me?

Ooo....ooo.....ooo...
Ooo baby don't leave me
Ooo..ooo...ooo...ooo
I'm down on my knees...
Ooo..ooo...ooo...ooo
Begging you please...
Ooo...ooo...ooo...ooo
Baby don't leave me....
Did you ever believe?


13.I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday

I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you
Everything's gonna go my way
I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you

You can cry
While you were high high high
If you were wondering why i don't look at you
When i go rolling by
I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you

I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you
Everything's gonna go my way
I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you

You can cry
While you were high high high
If you were wondering why i don't look at you
When i go rolling by
I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then i won't want you
No i won't want you
Bet i won't want you


14.In Need

Every night i dream you're next to me
Tenderly
You say my name
You stay close enough to keep me here
Then disappear
When we're face to face

And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am i
'cause i want to be with you tonight
And you're not the only one in need

You know everybody's watching me
And what they see
Is me watching you
In the middle, time is creeping by
And i wonder why
You're so removed

And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am i
'cause i want to be with you tonight
And you're not the only one in need

Come on baby
Life is just a net into which you dive
And i'm getting
Closer to you now

If i love you
Will you run away
And if i stay
Will i disappear

And if you carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
I'd be the bed you lay upon
And blue is blue
And so am i
'cause i want to be with you tonight
And you're not the only one in need


15.Indian Summer

The voices hanging in the air
The fingers running through my hair
You whisper in my ear, words i'm afraid to hear

You're sleeping on the wings of doves
Of melting in the heat of love
A voice that disappears, into the air

You said you found me, and never let me go, and until you do
No arms around me, to pull me away, away from you

Indian summer, i remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me too?

Like a moth to a flame, you're drawn to me with tender chains
You wrap me up so tight, and hold me all the night

Who's the stranger come and gone, statues crying in the lawn
The fountain's frozen tears, bring back those years

Did you think you loved me, and do you want me now like you did
back then
No moon above me, could make me feel this way, feel this way
again

Indian summer, i remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me too?

Where do the seasons go when you let them slip away
Now the winds have changed from hot to cold today
Indian summer, indian summer, i remember you, where are you now

Ohhh, indian summer, i remember you
Indian summer, do you think of me, do you think of me too
Cause i remember you, indian summer


16.Keep On Growing

I was laughing, playing in the streets,
I was unknowing; i didn't know about things.
Then he came along, but never really showed me,
I thought that love could wait.

I was a young girl. i was sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would find a way, find a way, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was standing, looking in the face
Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed.
Hoping, i pray the lord, that he could understand me,
And i didn't know his name.

He took my hand in his and told me i was wrong.
He said, you're gonna be all right girl,
Oh just as long, just as long...
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, lord,
Just you wait and see. let me hold you,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
'cause i want just you and me.

This time is gonna change it all, i know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing
And growing's all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah.

Oh, got to keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me.
Gotta keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah,
I was a young girl,
You said love will find a way,
Love will find a way.
Gotta keep on growing...


17.Love You Blind

Love and harmony, soul inspiration and prophecy
We make love and we make joy, one girl and one more boy
Say, we are, everybody's eyes, lay down your guns and recognize
There's only one way, if you leave me no choice, but to love you
blind

Tell me people, who's leading who
And tell me people, who's following who
A world asleep, is a world in deep, oh yeah
We don't have to be this way

Everybody say, we are the world to come
A place of love and a world of one
One mind can generate, what we anticipate
Say, we make war when we couldn't make peace
Tell me who is the man in the driver seat

blind

Tell me people, who's leading who
And tell me people, who's following who
A world asleep, is a world in deep, oh yeah, oh oh yeah

Hold back the tears, and break that chain

Signs will come of what we do now, you and me, and me and you
Love is all we need tonight, yeahhhhhh

Listen people, we don't have to be this way

Love and harmony, soul inspiration and prophecy
We make love and we make joy, one girl and one more boy
Say, we are, everybody's eyes, lay down your guns and recognize

Signs will come of what we do now, you and me, and me and you
Love you blind, love you blind


18.Maybe Angels

Six-lane highway running up to my back door
But it won't take me where i want to be
I took the i-95 down to pensacola
All i found was a bunch of holyrollers
The don't know nothing 'bout saving me

I swear they're out there,
I swear, i swear they're out there,
I swear, i swear they're out there,
I swear, maybe angels, maybe angels

Down here i feel like a citizen of nowhere
My bag's all packed in case they ever come for me
Got a hundred stories and tabloid lies
Got witnesses to what the goverment denies
So i'm headed down to roswell to wait and see


Oh what a mystery
Oh, i believe, i believe, i could leave

My sister, she says she knows elvis
She knows jesus, john lennon, and cobain personally
Well, but i'm too wise to believe my eyes
Cause all i've seen just terrifies me
But i believe they're coming back for me


19.Near Me

I've been watching you from the corner of my eye
I can't stand it, be too close, can't stand it
Be too far and i can't say why, yeah
And as the shadow fades
Where you walk away
My secret's written all across my face

I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, ohh

Oh, i've been watching you from the corner of the sea
You are silent
Eyes of eyes
You are silent
Hands of hands
And i want them both on me
But in the quiet strain
The mention of your name
And i'm running from you
And running to you all the same

I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight
Round and round we go
The shadows dance by so slow
But only for me to know

I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight, oh tonight
I only want you near me
I only want you near me
Tonight
Hey yeah

I only want you near me


20.On Borrowed Time

Remember not to say a word
If they ask about me
Say you haven't heard

Sweet communion
Of the forbidden kind
I live to love you
Only on borrowed time

Are you waiting
Waiting in the dark
For a message, for a sign
Precious these days
Living our ways
On borrowed time
Yeah

Fallen angel
Where do you hide your heart
Under some angry ???
Alone you fall apart

Oh, you're not forgotten
You're always on my mind
Whispering words i'm waiting, waiting
Only on borrowed time

Someone's praying
Praying for your life
For a miracle or sign
Precious these days
Living our ways
On borrowed time

I'll be waiting
Waiting in the night
For a message, for a sign
Precious there days
Living our ways
On borrowed time


21.On The Outside

I stood close enough to hear you say
'do as the beautiful once did'
Tore out my picture from its frame
I just wanted to be one of you

Standing on the outside
Lookin'
Lookin'
Funny how you see the truth
But the feeling does come back
To you

She's crazy as anyone can be
That's what they say
They say of me
Wanting love can make one do
Isn't my fault
Heredity

Standing on the outside
Lookin'
Lookin'
State of grace
State of sin
Standing on the outside
Lookin'
Lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling does come back
Again

This morning feels like yesterday
Yesterday follows me around
Where do you go where no one cares
Six feet under
Underground

Standing on the outside
Lookin'
Lookin'
State of grace
State of sin
Standing on the outside
Lookin'
Lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling will come back
Again - again


22.One Less Bell To Answer

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all i do is cry
(cry, cry, no more laughter)
I should be happy
(oh, why did he go)
I only know that since he left
My life's so empty
Though i try to forget
It just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings
I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
Cause i still love him so
I spend each day the way i start out
Crying my heart out
(one less bell to answer)
I should be happy
(one less egg to fry)
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
(one less bell to answer)
(one less egg to fry)
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
He went away...


23.Reach Around Jerk

Wake me up when you are over
Cause i don't want to hear you say
That you've got worries on your shoulder
Well, i'd love to say they'd up and go away

I know that you ain't cryin'
But that don't mean that you don't feel
Deep inside you might be dying
That may be the only thing that's ever real

It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, turn and blame the government,
Establishment, hide your head so no one sees you when you're
down

Wake me up when you are over
Let me know how long it took
If you ever need my sympathy
Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look

I know when you get older
You'll learn the art of how to please
But right now you're just getting colder
And my love is gonna bring you to your knees

It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, turn and blame the government,
Establishment, hide your head so no one sees you when you're
down

If you need me, i am able
And if you need me, i'll be here
But when you reach across the table
Honey, you won't find me shedding any tears


24.Resuscitation

Short circulated
Sleeping through the dopamine
When you've got nothing to fear
Too low to notice
Superman in disco jeans
Having a good time
Just wish i was here

Resuscitation
Bring me around
Resuscitation
Bring me down

So separated
Under watergun ballet
When you've got no map
You've got no place to go
Some sexy killjoy
Bring everybody down
Well, i eat confusion
And spit it out slow

Resuscitation
Bring you 'round
Resuscitation
Bring you down
The road is paved with hope and glory
But my shoes are hiding under the bed
I need a little evaluation
Rejuvenation
Of soul and head

So underneath
Hanging on the bathroom rug
Holding it together
With rubber bands and chewing gum
This mansion's crashing
I'm just the butler's maid
What do we care
We just need our own parade

Resuscitation
Bring me down
Resuscitation
Bring me 'round


25.Rodeo

There comes a son,
A son of angels
Carrying an empty glass
Trying to fill it to the surface
Well tell your thirst love has passed

You carry on, carry the world
You must get worn with all the weight
I take it in but you won't no where
And no where's where we're headed fast
(past?)

Oh, oh, rodeo
Slow turning to and fro
Oh, oh, rodeo
Where we land (laugh??) no one knows
(no one knows..)

We're not blind to what it is
In other words, the ignorant kind
Well life is short, but oh it's wide
It's wide enough to read your mind

Well i believe in ever-after
Just in case what's after that
Don't i love you like the angels
And could you ever love me back?


Strangers now we are becoming
Stranger now we have become
If any (fiction???) every returns
Returned by the coolest one


26.Sad Sad World

I know you hate me,
I see that now
If i was unhappy,
I'd be someone you could still care about
I think it's stupid and sad
That everything turned out so bad
And enemies make the most interesting friends

I'm gonna write you a long letter
I'm gonna get you on the telephone
Three little words to make it all better
Maybe i'll leave this whole thing alone

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And i'm a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
And i remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around

We're too much alike
For our own good
We both hate fighting
No matter how misunderstood

Well, i want to tell you
That you're stubborn
And i want to tell you
I never lied
And i want to tell you
That your friends talk way too much
And i want to know
What happened to that friend of mine

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And i was a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
And i remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And i'm a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
I remember every fucked up minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around


27.Safe And Sound

maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Maybe this is a rocket into space
I don't want to be sad
I don't want to break down
After all i won't let go
Till you're safe and sound
Till you're safe and sound
There's beauty in release
After all the scenes for you and me

I don't blame you for quitting
I know you really tried
Maybe we could have hold on through the night
Cuz i don't want to be lonely
I want to be scared
And all are friends are waiting there
Till you're safe and sound
Till you're safe and sound
There's beauty in release
There's no one left to please but you and me

Till you're safe and sound...

Feel like i could've held on
Feel like i could've let go
Feel like i could've helped you
Feel like i could've changed you
Feel like i could've held on
Feel like i could've let you
Feel like i was a stranger
Feel like i was an angel
Feel like i was a hero
Feel like i was a zero
Feel like i could've touched you
Feel like i could've saved you
Feel like i could've moved you
Feel like i could've held you
Feel like i could've heald you
Feel like i could've told you
Feel like i could've loved you
Feel like i could've loved you
Feel like i could've loved you
Feel like i could've loved you...


28.Solitaire

There was a man,
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes,
Goes without saying
There was a man,
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitiare


29.Straight To The Moon

You got lucky
Walking cross a crowded room
The cameras went from wide to zoom
And caught you in the act
Well now, you've got something
Something we could really use
If we could get you on the evening news
And spruce up the facts

We'd go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isn't it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again

Snuck out the back
With nancy and the philistines
Quotes from rolling stone magazine
Dribble from her mouth
Oh now, please don't tell me
Let me have this one surprise
If i come back a million years from now
Can i keep my scalp

I go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isn't it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again
Ooh, we go straight through the moon
Turn on the tv and you're in the cartoons
Ooh, but isn't it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again

Your co-conspirators
Open up the secret door
And now the truth is out
What are we gonna do about it

I'm not much on second hand information
Sycophantic recreations
Have been down with the smile
Now i rolled up my sleeves
And took off my good shoes
You can't get in and get loose
Without getting dirt in your eyes

Ooh, you go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
Ooh, isn't it strange
Once it goes up
It comes back down again
Ooh, it's too much too soon
Turn on the tv and i'm in the cartoons
Ooh, isn't it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again

Ooh
Ooh, straight to the moon
Turn on the tv and there's a cartoon
If it makes you happy


30.Subway

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

I was riding on the e-train
I was whistling to the rhythm
I was thinking about my live-in
I was feeling pretty fine
I asked the time
Got a poke in the eye

When i read the latest news
How we can't believe he wore those shoes
Should we have the man impeached
Or should we shoot him in the foot
Well you waste my time
You waste my time
Looking for two hundred ways to hang a guy

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

Allegations
Interrogations
Investigations
Then more taxation
National past time is aggrivation
I think i'll move out to a desert isle
Just for a while

To avoid all that's distracting
Like newspapers and magazines
Insipid propagandizing
To tell me what a loser i've elected
But you've neglected to tell the truth
That your politics is tied around his foot
And we too are dangling

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

Do you think that we are crazy
Low i.q., that we are lazy
That we sit here watching sitcoms
That we have no clue to what is going on
Well you got that wrong

Wait and see, the boom will fall
The morning eggs will hit the wall
And everyone i know will call
To say that change is hanging in the air
You'd best beware
You'll wake up and average joe is in your chair
Just because he'd kinda like to do what's right
But more cause all you politicians do is fight

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

31.Sweet Child O' Mine

He's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when i see his face
He takes me away to that special place
And if i stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

He's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

His hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child i'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine


32.The Last Time

She walks the wire
Start to ending
But the wheeze is someone else inside her head
She swallowed fire
While pretending
That the flame has long been dead
And now love is just a stranger in her bed

She said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll turn that page
No more tomorrows
I'm full of empty yesterdays

Now cousin sydney's such an outcast
Cause his parents ???????
An angry young man is on the warpath
There's so many things he'd change
If only he'd been better bet-all tell-all hank

He said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home early
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll change my ways
No more tomorrows
And the things i'd wished i'd always changed

In a shiny perfect world
Dashing boy gets girl
Are you one of the lonely ones
Seems i can't remember when
Or just how long it's been
Since i've been waiting for that train that never comes

And we said this is the last time
I won't be back
I'll take a cab home early
Before the second act
This is the last time
I'll turn that page
I left the opening rather early
Before they left the stage
This is the last time
I change my ways
No more tomorrows
I'm full of empty yesterdays

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooohh


33.Tomorrow Never Dies

Darling i'm killed
I'm in a puddle on the floor
Waiting for you to return
Oh what a thrill
Fascination gallore
How you tease, how you leave me to burn

It's so deadly my dear
The power of having you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies

Darling you've won, it's no fun
Martinis, girls, and of guns
It's murder on our love affair
But you bet your life every night
While you chase the morning light
You're not the only spy out there

It's so deadly my dear
The power of wanting you near
Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes
Tomorrow never dies

Until the day
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
I see it in your eyes

Until the day
Until the day
Until the day


34.What Does It Matter

Baby, why do they say the things they say
Would it be easier to live the way they say we should
Maybe, cannot but wonder back this way
Yours are the only arms that make me feel like something can be
good

I believe it's just a fact of life
Unless they wear our shoes to them it's black and white

Ooohhhh

Just what does it matter anyway
What side of the road we're standing on
And just what does it matter anyway
If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone
If nothing changes after we are gone

Baby, don't let them rob you of your pride
There's not a thing i wouldn't do to make this easier for you
Maybe, every now and then i laugh and cry
It's getting harder now for me to separate the two

Where does innocence turn in to make believe
Cause make believe there's no one here but me and you

Ohhh

Just what does it matter anyway
What side of the road we're standing on
And just what does it matter anyway
If you throw my love away because the world don't think it's
right
And they may never understand
And you can't change the minds of those who are blind
Unless you give them sight
And the world lies in your hand

Tell me, and just what does it matter anyway
If in the long run nothing changes after we are gone
If nothing changes after we are gone


35.What I Can Do For You

I'm so glad you're awake
That you're not like the others
Cause they're so straight-laced
And no fun
Gosh that's nice
That lingerie
Makes me feel like
Oh, i don't know

You're a very pretty thing
You remind me of someone
You must have heard
Some awful nasty things about me, but

What i can do for you
There's no one else
On god's green earth can do
What i can do for you
There's no one else
On god's green earth can do

Just ask anybody
They'll tell you that it's true
There's no one else on earth
Can do the things that i can do for you

You're never gonna make it
All by yourself
You're gonna need a friend
You're gonna need my help
I have so much to offer
If you just be nice
If you do what i say
And don't make me say it twice

Do you mind if i just
Rub my hand up thus
Come on just my hand
Come on just my hand
You got to understand
I'm gonna be your man
I'm gonna be your man
You're gonna need me

(david baerwald/sheryl crow)


36.When Love Is Over

I know i ask for nothing
And that's what i got from you tonight
I guess i thought you'd changed
Leaving becomes too easy
Easy by morning light
I still cannot explain

Is it enough to ask and not receive
Just one more kiss before you turn and leave
When love is over
Over it should be
But something still burns in me

A hundred solid reasons
The answers come in waves
But i'm all for calmer seas
You're only lost in the shuffle
But in your usual way
It's you who always comes to me

I've burned up pages
Hidden yesterdays
Here's one more glance before i turn away
When love is over
Over it should stay
But something won't go away

Hardly a moment passes
Hardly a single day goes by
I'm not remembering
Just to surrender slowly
Into a stranger's arms
But you stand watching in the wings

These must be days we've seen through tear-filled eyes
It all makes painful sense when i realize
When love is over
Something has to die
Cause you can say goodbye


37.You Always Get Your Way

Well then
I guess that's it then
As you trip on my rug on your way out the door
To your new found freedom
You always get your way

Happy
We can't be happy
For i've learned
That reality is only opinion
We disagreed, dear
Some opinions can't persuade

Crazy
My thinkin' was hazy
Placin' you
In the kitchen with apron and skillet preparing me dinner
But to serve's not your fortay

Lonely
I bet i was only
Lookin' in your direction for some small affection
But you made me love you
Cuz you always get your way

Always always
Isn't it boring?
Day after day
After day
After day
After day

Your suspicion
And all my ambition
Creates nothing less than an incredible mess
So i guess good luck darlin'
Is all i have to say

Kill me
You said you'd kill me
Baby those are just words
That in anger
You say but i surely would hate it
If you ever got your way
And you always get your way
You always get your way


38.You Want It All

You pick up the pieces
There's no looking back
There's no use in crying over what you never had
Please mr. pleaser
Don't leave us here so sad
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all

I got the news this morning
Something better came along
That's no kind of warning
When a good thing's gone wrong
But i got a feeling you'll be calling me back up
Cause what you had and what you want
Will never be enough
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all
Oh, what you gonna do when your heart begins to fall
One of these days you'll be down on your knees
Begging me please, yeah
Yeah

Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah
Ohh, ohh
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Yeah, yeah

I got the news this morning
Something better came along

No what you had and what you want
Will never be enough
Cause you want it all
Cause you want it all
Oh, what you gonna do when your heart begins to fall
One of these days you'll be down on your knees
