I heard a siren late last night, you must have felt me shiver. Shaken by a wave of fright, that you calm with a whisper. And fear gave way to better things.
I remember the face of an angel. A love that was faithful and true. I left that dear boy in the mountains. For a ramblin' life empty and blue. . Sweet roses bloom where they're planted.
I remember the way. Driving home late. Speeding all the way. Alone in the rain. . I was rehearsing a part. From down at the bar. My mouth smelled like a drink.
It's complicated. Technically I'm certified. A walking declaration. Of everything I couldn't get right. . Time is just an anchor. But 7 years I think I'm right.
I am a girl with a forgettable face. No matter my color, no matter my name. At work, there is a boy and he treats me well. My old friends from high school, I see them around.
Calling it quits. You think this is easy. I swear I hurt. You call in the jury. Call it a catch. Without any strings attached. . Well I'm looking for a soft place to land.
Apples dipped in candy. Sweet potato eye. One is for your belly. The other's for your mind. . Day off on Sunday. When the rent is not behind. Well, that's the way it goes.
all my city is dressed in skin. her lips are dark. her ankles thin. oh my dizzy ballerina, won't you give us a spin?. my country's cold in autumn's chains.
Another Shirley Temple,. Another Caine and Able,. There's nothing out the window,. And nothing on the table.. . This life is like a sad list. Strong across the Nation,.
I've been in and out and. I've been halfway down. And sometimes I can't find my way.. . I have walked the line and. I have lost sometimes but. I know that this much is true..
Philosophers and poets, and songwriters too,. Have told stories through the ages,. 'Bout what friends can do to you.. Their envy and betrayal, can drive a man to drink,.
Now I'll tell you in Chicago boys, I was broken man. Dirty movies, credit cards and bills past due again. And that son of mine spit in my face and then I tanned his eye.
What I need is medication. In the form of a vacation. What I need is skies of blue. . What I need is a perspective. One that's healthy but objective. What I need is a point of view.
You know I almost didn't answer. But I just had to see. If you were really still with her. 'Cause this won't work until you're free. . I won't step on a bridge that's burning.
You swear to me that I'm the one. But you need time to have your fun. That boat won't float. How can you say your love is real. When you still want to play the field.
I got a wake-up call today I think I should listen. Someone's trying to tell me. [Spoken]. "Get your act together girl". . Life takes twists and turns.
I been watchin' my boys gettin lit all night,. Liquored up, fallin' down, now they're lookin' for a fight,. But I ain't got to go there, honey I'm cool,.
by John Williamson. . Where ancient mountains are whittled down. Millions of years to a little mound. Where giant feet are fossil found. I see spinifex surfing on a dune,.
Australians all let us rejoice. For we are young and free. We've golden soil and wealth for toil. Our home is girt by sea. . Our land abounds in nature's gifts.
My God, what have I done?. You gave me your heart and I broke it up. Now here I am. . All alone and I'm hatin' me. 'Cause, baby, with you I had everything.
