1.In A Broken Dream
Lyrics:David Bentley
Music:David Bentley
Every day I spend my time drinking wine, feeling fine…
Waiting here to find the sign that I can understand, yes, I am
In the days between the hours, ivory towers
Bloody flowers push their hands into the air…
I don't care if I ever know, there I go
Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are…
In a broken dream!
Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed before nine o'clock
On the pad before my eyes, paper cries, telling lies
The promises you gave from the grave of a broken heart…
Hmmm…
Every day I spend my time drinking wine, feeling fine…
Waiting here to find the sign that I can understand, yes, I am
Oooooh!
I sit here in my lonely room…
Don't push your love too far
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
Right now is where you are…
In a broken dream!
And don't forget what I said?
Hoooooo!
Ivory towers…
Bloody flowers
2.Birds
Lyrics:Neil Young
Music:Neil Young
Lover
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over
Nestled
In your wings my little one
This special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over
3.Thirteen
Lyrics:Big Star
Music:Big Star
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, 'get off my back'
Tell him what we said about 'paint it, black'
Rock 'n roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's 'no' well, I can go
I won't make you
4.Hallelujah
Lyrics:Leonard Cohen
Music:Leonard Cohen
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That david played, and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor chord and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you
To her kitchen chair
Broke your throne, and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love's not some kind of victory march
It's a cold and a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
But I remember when I moved in you
Holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
5.The Ballad Of Easy Rider
Lyrics:The Byrds
Music:The Byrds
The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
All he wanted was to be free
And that's the way it turned out to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
Flow river flow, past the shady trees
Go river go, go to the sea
Flow to the sea
The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever it goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
6.A Guy What Takes His Time
A guy what takes his time
I'll go for any time
I'm a fast movin' gal I'd like some slow
Got no needs for fancy drivin' when I see a guy arrivin' in love
I'd be satisfied, electrified I know a guy what takes his time
A hurry up affair, I always give the air
Wouldn't give any rushin' gent a smile
I could go for any swinger who would contemplate to linger
awhile
A lullaby would be supplied to have a guy what takes his time
A guy what takes his time
I'd go for any time
A hasty job really spoils a master's touch
I don't like a big commotion, I'm a demon for slow motion or
such
Why should I deny that I would die to know a guy who takes his
time
There isn't any fun
In getting something done
If your rushed when you have to make the grade
I can spot an amateur, appreciate a connesseur at his trade
Who would qualify, no alibi to be the guy who takes his time
7.Candy Says
Lyrics:Lou Reed
Music:Lou Reed
Candy says I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
What others so discretely talk about
Candy says I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
8.How Can We Hang On To A Dream
What can I say, he's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
What can I do, he's saying we're through
With how it was
What will I try, I still don't see why
He says what he does
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream
What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream
How can we hang on to a dream
How can it will it be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream
9.I Started A Joke
Lyrics:Bee Gees
Music:Bee Gees
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me
10.Easy & Me
Lyrics:Lee Hazelwood
Music:Lee Hazelwood
We rode on train
With anger and pain
But we didn't cry
Easy and me
And some other guy
We hooked some ??
Stood side by side
And watch cars go by
Easy and me
And some other guy
Days and nights
We care for each other
The wrongs and the rights
We shed with each other
Then one day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whisper goodbye
Then easy walk down
With some other guy
One day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whisper goodbye
Then easy walk down
With some other guy
11.Spit On A Stranger
Lyrics:Pavement
Music:Pavement
However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits
Whatever you need, however so slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right
I'll be thinking long and hard
About the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
Now I see the long and short
And never ever what's in between
I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight
Wherever it leads, whenever it's right
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
And now I see the long and short of it
And I could make it last
I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger
Well, I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger
I see the sunshine in your eyes
I'll try the things you'll never try
I'll be the one that leaves you high
12.All Apologies
Lyrics:Nirvana
Music:Nirvana
All apologies
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feed as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqur scafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are
13.Beautiful Cosmos
Lyrics:Ivor Cutler
Music:Ivor Cutler
You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind
This is our universe, cups of tea
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me
We have a beautiful cosmos
What do we talk of whenever we meet? nothing at all!
You sit with a sandwich I look at a roll
Sometimes I open my mouth, and shut it
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me
We have a beautiful cosmos
You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine
We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me
We have a beautiful cosmos
14.These Days
Lyrics:Jackson Browne
Music:Jackson Browne
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to
I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway
I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long
La la la la la, la la
I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
