1.Simple Twist Of Fate (Bob Dylan Cover)

Lyricist:Bob Dylan

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Cause then he felt alone

Then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
Watch out for
The simple twist of fate

Walked along by the old canal
A little confused
I remember well
Stopped into a strange hotel

With neon burning bright
Felt the heat of the night
Like a freight train moving with
A simple twist of fate

Saxophones someplace far off play
She was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade

Where he was waking up
She drops the coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate, forgot about
A simple twist of fate

He woke up, room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care

Whisked the window open wide
Felt the emptiness inside
To which he could just not relate, brought on by
A simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in

Maybe she'll pick him out again
How long must he wait
One more time before
A simple twist fate

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring

She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on
A simple twist of fate


2.Tie the Rope

Lyricist:Debra Killings

I'm in envy of addicts
You're obsessed with stars
Don't, don't you sound
So excited you're showing me your vanity

Whisper it once, just a little bit
C'mon whisper it twice
I can't stand to see the spotlight shine one more night
It's killing me to see you

Just tie the rope
Oh and kick the chair
Just leave me hanging there
Gasping for air
Yeah, don't mind me three feet from the ceiling

You'd rather watch me drown
Then see your hands get wet
You took the plot from stage to screen and turned it to
Epic scene
So whisper it once, tell me again

C'mon whisper it twice
I can't stand to see my whole life flash before my eyes
When I'm with you
There's no point in breathing
No point in breathing

Just tie the rope
Oh and kick the chair
Just leave me hanging there
Gasping for air
Yeah, don't mind me three feet from the ceiling

And I think I know
(Whoa, oh, oh)
Why you never get to close?
Its 'cause you're too scared to
When I'm with you, there's no point in breathing

So, so you run away for no apparent reason
'Cause you and I are changing with the seasons
You give me an answer as to why you're leaving
The tables full but nobody's been dealing
So fold your hand, c'mon and fold your hand

Just tie the rope
Oh and kick the chair
Just leave me hanging there
Gasping for air
Yeah, don't mind me three feet from the ceiling

And I think, I know
(Whoa, oh, oh)
Why you never get to close
Its 'cause you're too scared to
When I'm with you, there's no point in breathing
(When I'm with you)

No point in breathing
(When I'm with you)
No point in breathing


3.Let's make this moment a crime

We just gotta take our time
Its like nothing really matters
so lets make this moment a crime
I know I know your left behind

I'll do my best to feel broke down
Its been a minute, a second I'll wait for you to make a sound
But I know, I know you're takin time

Maybe its just to late
(gotta get away)
Everything feels the same
(gotta get away)
Tell me its not too late

On and on and on your way
And all the days they fade away
And all the nights they never felt the same
If I was wrong then I was wrong and on and on and on and on
The things we do are never gunna change

Well you haven't got a lot to say
But you never wanna stop
You always wanna feel this way
I know I know your takin time

Maybe its just to late
(gotta get away)
Everything feels the same
(gotta get away)
Tell me its not too late

On and on and on your way
And all the days they fade away
And all the nights they never felt the same
The things we do are never gunna change

we wait forever if ever you do it the same
Never ill never get it oh I shouldn't sweat
Like it matters its over
Yea at least til' you come over
So much for shutters we're layin under covers

Maybe its just to late
Everything feels the same
Tell me its not too late

On and on and on your way
And all the days they fade away
And all the nights they never felt the same

If I was wrong then I was wrong
And on and on and on and on
The things we do are never gunna change
The things we do are never gunna change


4.Apeman

Lyricist:Raymond Douglas Davies

I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good Homo sapien
But all around me everybody's multiplying
Till they're walking round like flies, man

So I'm no better than the animals
Sitting in their cages in the zoo, man
'Cause compared to the flowers
And the birds and the trees I am an ape man

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians

I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm a King Kong, man
I'm ape, apeman, I'm an apeman

'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman

In man's evolution he has created the cities
And the motor traffic rumble but give me half a chance
And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

'Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh, what a life of luxury to be like an apeman

I'm an ape, I'm an ape, apeman, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, I'm an apeman

I look out my window but I can't see the sky
'Cause the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman

Come and love me, be my apeman girl
And we will be so happy in my apeman world

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong, man, I'm a voodoo man, I'm an apeman

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an apeman

I'm an ape, I'm an ape, apeman, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, I'm an apeman

I don't feel safe in this world, no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman


5.Glutton Of Sympathy

Lyricist:Roger Manning, Andy Sturmer

In the breathless hush of 4 a.m.
In the dark sits a sad cliche
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again

Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends

You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over again
That this is the end

'Cause I see it in your eyes
What you don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned

Such mournful words on this snow white vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?
She writes over and over again

Tossing, turning, roll away
Indecision, won't you ever make up your mind?
Lifetime, nighttime, wake the day
'Cause tomorrow we'll see if
You've had your fill of sympathy

Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?
Don't you know the stars are all fading?
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile


6.Do You Believe In Magic?

Lyricist:John Sebastian

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
If it makes you feel happy like an old time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen, it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic come along with me
We'll dance until morning, 'til there's just you and me
And maybe if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic?
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Oh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe in magic?


7.Swans

At the least come join me*
Within the belly of a big blue beast
Set asail, catch a breeze
And come on

Don't forget to fill your suitcase
Now watch it sink
'cause where we're going we don't need a thing
Not a map, or a seed,

'cause where we've been is who we used to be
We started wrapping our regrets in cloth
Are you defined by all the things you want
Or did you get caught up in the things that we are not?

You were born to believe you can't get lost
So when you run you always get to far
Now there's nothing you haven't seen,
But where we're headed we have never been

Past the pavement that we used to walk
Past the people that we used to know
Now come on, go
Past the people that have broke our hearts
We started laughing at them from afar,
But now we've climbed too high without a rope
Now come on, go

No, we are not swans
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are
We don't take to compliments, but please don't stop
Now come on, come on

We are not swans
We fit into each other we are Russian dolls
Where somewhere in the center sits a beating heart
But come on, come on
We are not swans

Now do you feel we've gone too far
Or do you feel we've reached the top
Or do you feel like letting go
Now come on, hold on

We are not swans
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are
We aren't falling fast but we are falling far
Now come on, come on
We are not swans
Our fathers gave us features that we didn't want
Our mothers claim those features made them fall in love
But come on, come on

We are swans
We are flying higher than our counterparts
We have got each other I'd say that's enough
Now come on,
Come on,
Come on.


8.1000 Umbrellas

Lyricist:Andy Partridge

1000 umbrellas, a tongue
Couldn't catch all the rain
That drained out of my head
When you said we were over, over

I cried 'til I floated downstream
To a town they call misery
Uh, huh, misery
Misery, uh, huh, misery

And one-mission teacups, I bet couldn't hold
All the wet that fell out of my eyes
When you fell out with me

Now I'm crawling the wallpaper
That's looking more like a road map
To misery, uh, huh, misery

How can you smile and forecast?
Weather's getting better
And you'll soon forget her if you let
The sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast?
Weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you

Just when I thought that
My vista was golden in hue
1000 umbrellas opened
To spoil the view

And one million salt seas
Recalled from school atlas
So eyes could be filled to the brim
Sunny Jim couldn't jump it

How can I be pleased
When I'm handed the keys?
To a town they call misery
Uh, huh, misery, misery, uh, huh, misery

So with the mop and the bucket
I'll just say forget her and carry on
Sweeping up where I'd been weeping

The jester's now creeping to strike down
The newly crowned monarch of
Misery, uh, huh, misery

How can you smile and forecast?
Weather's getting better
And you'll soon forget her if you let
The sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast?
Weather's getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you

And just when I thought
That my skies were a June-July blue
1000 umbrellas open
2000 umbrellas open
10000 umbrellas open to spoil the view


9.Dead End

Lyricist:Samuel Thomas Means, Linda Perry, Nathaniel Joseph Ruess

Hold on, there's a hole in my heart
Everyone can see right through me
It goes all the way to the waves
Where my love she tried to wash it away

See, she breaks for the summers
So she can find lovers, she treats them like a bottles of wine
They make you dinner and they sing you to sleep
But by the mornin' find the bottle is empty

'Cause she never gives it the time
Every bottle she finds they don't compare
To the ones she left behind, there is never a note
So she waits for me to come back home

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
You wish that smoke could change its color on
I love it when you talk so much
And act like nothin' went wrong

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
We sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to keep you by my side
Holdin' off tidal waves

Mint car is keepin' us warm
She lays crossed upon the bed
We are puzzles making shapes with our hands
I take my finger turn into a pen

Then I run my hand down your spine
You guess, I wrote somethin' profound
Something like
'Our love will last 'til we die'

I say, 'You're good at this game
But what I really wrote is
How I've yet to be saved'

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
You wish that smoke could change its color on
I love it when you talk so much
And act like nothin' went wrong

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
We sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to keep you by my side
Holdin' off tidal waves

I'm searchin' for a dead end song
You wish that smoke could change its color on
I want to get you up by my side

I'm searchin' for a dead end song
We sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to get you up by my side

A dead end song
You wish that smoke could change its color on
I love it when you talk so much
You act like nothin' went wrong

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
We sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to keep you right by my side
Holdin' off tidal waves

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
You wish that smoke could change its color on
I love it when you talk so much
You act like nothin' went wrong

I'm lookin' for a dead end song
We sit and find flaws in everyone
I want to keep you by my side
Holdin' off tidal waves


10.The Glutton Of Sympathy

Lyricist:Roger Manning, Andy Sturmer

In the breathless hush of 4 am
In the darks, it's a sad cliché
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness, talk to me
She'd say over and over again

Fumbling through a cut of glass vase
Passing lipstick in cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends

You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over
That this is the end

'Cause I see it in your eyes
You don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned

Such wonderful words
On this white, snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learned
She packs away

Well, you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again

That's when I see it in your eyes
What you don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned

Tossing, turning, roll away
Indecision, won't you ever make up your
Lifetime, nighttime, wake the day
'Cause tomorrow we'll see if
You've had your fill of sympathy

Well, you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
Oh, don't you know the stars are all fading
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile


11.The Lottery Song

Lyricist:Harry Nilsson

You could do the laundry, I'll come by on Monday
You give me the money, I will buy a ticket
On the local lottery, we could win the lottery
We could go to Vegas and be very happy

Ooh, ooh

I can be a plumber, we could wait to summer
We could save our money, have a fine vacation
We could buy a trailer, if we bought a trailer
We could go to Vegas and be very happy

Ooh, if life is just a gamble
Gamble if you want to win
Ooh, life can be so easy
Let the wheel of fortune spin

We could make a record, sell a lot of copies
We could play Las Vegas and be very happy

Ooh, if life is just a gamble
Gamble if you want to win
Ooh, life can be so easy
Let the wheel of fortune spin

Ooh
