Michael Buble (You sappy hot mess of a man...)

"Everything"

You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus]

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I
Would just stand and stare.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)

Leave my door open just a crack.
(Please take me away from here.)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac.
(Please take me away from here.)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here.)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies.
I'm weird, cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell.
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few,
And I keep them in a jar.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Drumming Song -Florence and the Machine.

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And harder than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

Great Expectations

Mary, this station is playing every sad song.
I remember like we were alive.
I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls.
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her.
Licking young boys blood from her claws.
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
My heart's like a wound.

I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life.
Better safe than making the party.
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about Estella.
Great expectations, we had the greatest expectations.

I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

It's funny how the night moves.
Humming a song from 1962.
We were always waiting... always waiting.
We were always waiting for something to happen.

I saw tail lights last night In a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

The '59 Sound

Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
When your spirit left your body.
And they told me on the front lawn.
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang.

Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night

Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls.

Golden Silvers - Another Universe

i was feeling so mortal
legends were lined by my side
the world was standing on his head
my senses have forsaken me
and i saw through a million eyes
and i saw them waiting for me
their lashes painted black
their eyes were like a crucifix
their lips were as pink as Cadillacs

i was feeling like an angel
my madman was waiting in the wings
just to hear his cue
then i felt just like the devil's son
wasted wounded on the run
then i felt just like me and you
and i saw them surrounding me
with mirrors and rose-tinted bones
wearing only a lion's mane
one hand on the golden horn
and one hand on the telephone

and it's a strange way down
from the cradle to
take me by the
coz you'll never be the last one
and you'll never be the first
maybe we will meet again
in another universe

oh and then i was a titan
a hero of the silverscreen
just waiting for my bell
and then i was a troubadour
wailing waved the ghosts a door
then i was the hounds of hell
and i heard them blowing kisses
from within their satin sheets
with their bodies laying
like arrows and bows
boys falling at their feet

and it's a strange way down
from the cradle to
take me by the
coz you'll never be the last one
and you'll never be the first
maybe we will meet again
in another universe

i'm son of the richest man
the sister of an outcast
oh today i'm in the future
tomorrow i'll be in the past
i'm daughter of a daydream
the brother of a madman
i'll change my lips so often
i'm beginning not to care

now i feel my powers fading
as the blueprints and diagrams
and history books hold me to their hip
and my limbs start trembling
as my vision starts fading
and my spirit starts to slip
and i see them wave goodbye
their left hands were casting a curse
while singing songs of a paradise
from another universe

Temporary Home-Carrie Underwood

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone
Another new mom and dad,another school
Another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

"This is my Temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."

Young mom on her own
She needs a little help got nowhere to go
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find a place here in this world

This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home."

Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"

"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home."

This is our temporary home

I didn't always understand.
I wanted freedom.
You got mad.
You were concerned.
I got upset.

I didn't recognize you yet.

And did you cry?
I know I did.
When I lied to you
I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did.

You never told me that you loved me.
I know you didn't know how.
I guess that shows we're much the same
'cause until now
I've never said those words out loud.

I hope you're proud...

to be my dad.

In Your Room

in your room
where time stands still
or moves at your will
will you let the morning come soon
or will you leave me lying here
in your favorite darkness
your favorite half-light
your favorite conciousness
your favorite slave

in your room
where souls dissapear
only you exist here
will you lead me to your armchair
or leave me lying here
your favorite innocence
your favorite prize
your favorite smile
your favorite slave

im hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
will i always be here

in your room
your burning eyes
cause flames to arise
will you let the fire die down soon
or will i always be here
your favorite passion
your favorite game
your favorite mirrror
your favorite slave

im hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
will i always be here

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies, my love
Your face
Your face
Your face ...

Country Death Song - Violent Femmes


I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', 'til there's nothin' I ain't thunk.
Breathing in the stink, 'til finally I stunk.
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
Come little daughter, I said to the youngest one,
Put your coat on, we'll have some fun.
We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore.
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.
Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
A led her to a hole, a deep black well.
I said make a wish, make sure and not tell and
close you're eyes dear, and count to seven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.
I threw my child into a bottomless pit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
Gather round boys to this tale that I tell.
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell.
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.
Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.
You wanna know what can really tear you apart?
I'm going out to the barn, with a never stoppin' pain!
I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

(yeah)

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

(oh dear)

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

Incubus

Stellar

Meet me in outer space.
We could spend the night;
watch the earth come up.
I've grown tired of that place;
won't you come with me?
We could start again.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
Meet me in outer space.
I will hold you close,
if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place,
it might be the only way that
I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
You are stellar.

Anna-Molly

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be out there and sober as well from loneliness.
Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

A cloud hangs over my head and mutes my happiness.
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress.
Wish you were here I'm a wounded satellite.
I need you here, put me back together, make me right.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

Wait... there is a light... there is a fire defragmenting the attic.
Fate? Or something better? I couldn't care less, just stay with me for a while.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.
I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I've posted these before in other sites but here goes again cuz - thye're worth it-

From the beginning
we're all looking for a happy ending

Baby's born in the ghetto
baby's born with a silver spoon
one tells his mama , "I have a dream!"
One tells his mama, "I'll walk the moon!"

From the beginning
we're all looking for a happy ending

just a little bit from the lyrics to Sugarland's "Happy Endings"


also

Late one night when the wind was still
Daddy took the baby to the windowsill
to see a comet shoot across the sky
was the only time daddy saw it fly

It came from the east as bright as a torch
the neighbors had a party on their porch
Daddy rocked the baby
mama said "Amen"
When Halley's came to Jackson in 1910

from Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Halley's Came to Jackson"

the lyrics may not be 100% correct -but close enough to get the idea- as I have said , I really don't usually look this stuff up, but this song is beautiful, one of her very best, and THAT is saying something

drown me in love

everything works in ur arms

Pillar Of Davidson

Warm bodies, I sense
Are not machines that can only make money
Past, perfect, tense
Words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along son with medicine supposed to,
Designed to make you high
I'll be along son
With words for a feeling and all I've discovered

Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes

On loneliness comes
Go see the foreman, go see the profiteer
On loneliness drives
We're takin' our time movin' shít for this holy slime

Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes, almighty fear

The shepherd won't leave me alone
He's in my face and I
The shepherd of my days
And I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead

Warm bodies, I sense
Are not machines that can only make money
Past, perfect, tense
Words for a feeling and all I've discovered

Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes, almighty fear

The shepherd won't leave me alone
He's in my face and I
The shepherd of my days
And I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead

Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes
Old, bad eyes, almighty fear

The shepherd won't leave me alone
He's in my face and I
The shepherd of my days
And I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead

[Background Lyrics]

Here I am locking horns with the stallion
Failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
Pillar of Davidson feeling too hard to go down
Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
Deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
Pillar of Davidson feeling too hard to go down

Little sister, doncha do what ur big sister done!
