Too Far Gone
Why dont you write your mother
Why dont you call your family
Theyre expecting an answer
Spare them your strange behavior
What of your expectations
Werent you going to show us all
Some new kind of dancer
This seasons singing savior
Im too far gone, and its no use pretending
I could ever forget what I done
Im already too far gone,
I got no bridges left to burn
Its better to keep moving on
Its such a long way down, too far to fall
Too much trouble to turn back around
Think of your friends and neighbors
Suffering through your lamest years
You must owe them something
Come now, you must remember
Havent you finished playing
Get down to business soon
Because your lean years are coming
June now, but come december

Coming Home
Ive not been home
For so many years
And I did not regret being gone
Please tell me when did we talk
And when did we show
That we do care for something called love
Oh no, dont you despair now
Im as grown up as can be
Cant you forget everything
And this time listen to me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you help me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you love me
Its time to remember
What weve done together
I guess it is more than we know
And we should be open
And turn back the wheels
As far as we can go
I know I am your son
And everything else dont seem real
I want you back like never before
I cant take another goodbye
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, cant you be there
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, dont you leave me
Whats dones done - Im your son
Ive been hurt by your lies
I want peace after all
Thats why I want you to let me come home
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - lets fight together
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Home - Im coming home
Im coming home - time heals the scars of the past
Im coming home
Im coming home - to be by your side
Im coming home - Im coming home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Im coming home - Im coming home,............

The Great Ones Remember
Imagine yourself on the verge of committing
An act that youve always found silly or strange
Imagine yourself on the edge of discovering
Lately things have not been going your way
Communication is hard to establish
When things like a state of mind get in the way
People dont eat they just think what you feed them now
The horse with the blinders eating the hay
Silently watching yourself in the mirror
Wondering if somebody else is to blame
Could it be somebodys in on your destiny
Lately things have trouble looking the same
Could it be somebody else has the answer
Could it be somebodys pulling my strings
Say, that is quite a nice dress that youre wearing now
Jump into another ring
Can you imagine what we put up with now
Generals and morons say we are still as proud
We coin the phrases like we must win or die,
Its all so confusing today, hello goodbye
Dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Isnt it funny, the way its connected
The print on your shirt and the one on the wall
Imagine if everyone had the same haircut
Wouldnt it be funny running it all?
Communication is hard to maintain
When the clothes that youre wearing are hurting my eyes
Things like improvement dont come overnight, boy
But, at least you could try
Can you imagine what we put up with now
Generals and morons say we are still as proud
We coin the phrases like we must win or die,
Its all too confusing for me, hello goodbye
Dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Please, dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget where you were toward december.
Please, dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Please, dont forget where you were toward december.

20 Years In The Dakota
She spent twenty years in the dakota
Every single day was black in the dakota
Riot grrrls think you can stop me
And youre forever in her debt
Well I know you havent saved me
And you havent saved her yet
She spent twenty years like a virus
They want to burn the witch shes inside us
Well you, you dont f*** with the fabulous four
Or you spend the rest of your life
Picking things up off the floor
Shes still alive but I am sure
That all the stars belong to her
On california king-sized beds
Shes wrapped in rags inside my head
This is the story, this is the story of someone whos wild
Big black rules, pearl, life
(I dont remember, I forget)
Oh, baby dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like turpentine
The pee girl burns to be a bride
Your ever lovely suicide
Are they coming for me
Are they coming soon
Hey jude, hey jude
Are they coming for me
Judy, judy
Are they coming soon
(I dont remember, I forget)
The pee girl burns to be a bride
Your ever lovely suicide
I dont remember, I forget

Everybody Wants To Know
I heard you whisper on the train
You werent as free as youd been lately
Before we walk this way again
I could tell you stories that changed me
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
I heard you whisper in the trees
You werent as free as you could have been lately
Before we wonder one of these
I could tell you stories that saved me
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody want a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
So lets sit at home and count the stars and think it out
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And even when it rains
Love protects you
Call her secret name
And dont forget you
Want a world you cant explain
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Everybody wants to know what love is all about
So lets sit at home and count the cars and laugh it out
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Dont forget you
Want a world you cant explain

Im Trying
She said Im not pointing fingers
He said yes you are
cause you wouldnt bring it up if you werent
If I told you Id been walking
Out in the dark night thinking
Would you take as truth this alcoholics word
I cant change whats done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that i
Dont curse myself and all my sins
And I need you to hold on to
While this part of me is dying
And though I havent kicked the demons
That haunt me
Im trying
Im trying
She sat down on the floor
And said I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel fragile as glass
I want to believe you
Believe whats held you has freed you
And I hate these doubts
That keep on coming back
My parents think Im crazy
For staying here this long
But theres nothing more I want for us
Than to prove to them theyre wrong
I dont want to be afraid
I dont want to think youre lying
And though I havent found the faith
That I need
Im trying
Im trying
He asked do you want me to leave
cause if you do you know I will
But she said much to his disbelief
No I love you still
Oh I love you still
He said I dont know why Ive been the fool
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that i
Dont curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were crying
He said I havent been the man I want to be
But Im trying
Im trying
Im trying believe me
Im trying

Dont Hurt Yourself
Ive done some bad things
This I know
If I cant change things
Tell me so
It does no good to break your toe on the wall
I know youre angry
Thats all right
I said I dont care
Well, I lied
But I dont care who wins the fight after all
As long as you dont hurt yourself
Dont hurt yourself
Its bad enough
Dont hurt yourself
I wouldnt want to see you make
Trouble for yourself over
My mistake
Thats all Im asking so
Dont hurt yourself
Dont hurt yourself
I dont want to see you hurt
Hurt a single second for me
You burn your bridges
When youre cross
Theres nothing left when
You cool off
You cant go back so
Now youre lost like a rolling stone
It seems like trouble
So you hide
You keep it bottled up inside
til its too late and
You end up crying alone
And there you go

I Pray
When I was young I dreamed about
Oh so many places
When I was young I never thought Id be afraid
The years go by and with them comes
Oh so many changes
You know what I mean
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
And in my youth I realized nothing lasts forever
I find myself remembering those happy days
Follow me, Ill show you all the colors of the rainbow
You know what I mean
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
Dont wait, dont be late
You dont have a second left to hesitate
Walk, talk, do it all
Nothing you can do will break the fall
Turn and turn
Tell me what are you seeing
Clear your mind
If you want to be free
Be there
Turn around expectations
Say goodbye to complications
Be there, be there
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray theres another day
I pray there will be an answer

School
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Dont forget your books, you know youve got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like johnnie - too-good, well dont you know he never shirks
- hes coming along!
After school is over youre playing in the park
Dont be out too late, dont let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what lifes about
And grow up just like them - wont you let it work it out
- and youre full of doubt
Dont do this and dont do that
What are they trying to do?
- make a good boy of you
Do they know where its at?
Dont criticise, theyre old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Dont want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes
Maybe Im mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe Im just crazy, I dont know wrong from right
But while I am still living, Ive just got this to say
Its always up to you if you want to be that
Want to see that
Want to see that way
- youre coming along!

Nothing Like A Hundred Miles
I have tried to forget about you
And all the plans that we had planned
Yes, and Im bound to leave this town
I dont care where I may land
If what theyre telling me is true
And you have found somebody new
To love you
There aint but one thing I can do, baby
To save my heart from being broken in two by you
Baby, Im moving through
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Between me and trouble in my mind
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Show me the yellow line
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
When Im only passing through
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
To make me forget about you
Forget about you, baby
Dont we like our found farewells
And dont we like to keep our good-byes
Nice and clean
You may wish Id go to hell
While you tell me what a pleasure its been
So long, baby, Im moving on
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Between me and trouble in mind
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Somebody show me the yellow line
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
When Im only passing through
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
To make me forget about you
Forget about you
I have tried to forget about you
Baby, I have failed
Just as long as I stay in houston
I will

My Brother Michael
michael
your a brother that i can always turn to,
you might of dropped me when i was little but now ur always there to pick me up when i fall,
your the brother i know i can tell my darkest secrets to an they're kept safe,
your the brother i look to when i need advice,
when im hurt and sad your always the one i wanna call and hug coz you tell me everythings gunna be alright,
even if we dont think it at the time,
when we're together an if we're scared u put on a brave face an hold it all together and dont let it show'
when im in trouble an someones hurt me your always the first one to jump up and ask who an where do they live,
you are well and truly the best brother a little sister could ask for even if all of us werent toghether for 10 years,
you hold the keys to my darkest secrets,
if you were suddenly to be gone i dont know what id do id feel so lost without you,
i know you'll do well in life an you make me proud to say that ur my BIG BROTHER

Dont Look Back
Sometimes I remember my life
The wheels been spinning so long
So many years have passed me by
And the feelings are still running oh so strong
Now something new is here
Im gonna fly and spread my wings
And still the power, goes, on and on
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever, now or never, look back
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever- never look back
Day after day, night after night
Climbing into a new day
And now I think Ive found my sight
To go on and never turn away
Now something new...
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever, now or never, look back
Dont look back- dont look back
Now or never- dont you ever look back
Solo
Im gonna fly and spread my wings
Cause still the power goes on and on
Dont look back...

Dont Turn Me Away
(graham russell)
We shared such a special love
It seemed to have no end
But now it hurts me just to remember
Your eyes used to tell me so much
That words could never find
And now you say you dont know
Where your future lies
But youve got to find it now
Or get left behind
(chorus)
Please dont turn me away
I cant forget it all in just one day
Take some time to speak your mind
But say its not over
Please dont turn me away
Dont close the door on us this way
Im so sure that theres much more
You just have to tell me
Remember those fireside nights
Its not that long ago
You said you wanted to stay there forever
I have you the strength of my hand
When things were running low
I didnt know you would go back on
What you said
There must be some reasons there
That you dont want to share
(chorus)
Please dont turn me away
I cant forget it all in just one day
Take some time to speak your mind
But say its not over
Please dont turn me away
Dont close the door on us this way
Im so sure that theres much more
You just have to tell me
And just when you needed me
I said Id be there until the end
What is it thats changed in you
When all I want is to be your friend
( I need a friend )
Dont turn me away

Im Not Moving
If you feel it do it,
You dont need a reason
For all you know it could be good for you
To show your feelings
Dont just leave them
Do the things you believe in, its alright
Dont worry turn around, I will still be here
Im not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No, Im not moving...no really
No, Im not going anywhere tonight
If you think it, say it
cos no-one will stop you
Dont keep quiet, just cos you think you ought to
Feel free to shout it loud, speak your mind, spit it out
cos Im not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No Im not moving I can sit it out
No really, theres no hurry
So dont worry turn around, I will still be here
If it hurts dont do it
cos no-one can take you make you drink
And no-one can tell you what you think
Remember if your spirit starts to sink
Dont worry turn around, I will still be here

Something To Fall Back On
If I gave you just a bit more time
Do you think that you would make up your mind?
You cant expect that a flower will grow
Until you get around to giving it more
Like its only
Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on
Like a crumpled dollar hidden in your hat
For the subway home when theres no welcome mat
Youd be left with nothing if it werent for that
When you need to find it its right behind you
Remember when you were the talk of the town
And you didnt care if I was around
But still you kept me in the back of your head
Just like the teddy bear that you took to bed
I was only something to fall back on
And to wake up lonely is your deepest dread
So you stay connected by a tiny thread
Though youd rather try for something else instead
When you need to find me Im right behind you
I know Im only
Something to fall back on
I dont know what makes me think Ive the right
To tell you what is most important in life
But after all I guess I just dont care
And if you need me I will always be there
cause when I just imagine how it will be
Then I guess its something to fall back on
Something to fall back on for me
I need to know youll need me sometime
Everybody needs somebody to fall back on
Fall back on me
Nobodys going nowhere
You can call me anytime
You can fall back on me
You can call on me
Im waiting on you babe
When your world is falling down
And theres no one else around
And youre sitting, waiting by the phone
You can call me and I wont leave you alone

Dont Turn Away
(coverdale/sykes)
You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears
So whats a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you
Dont turn away, before the night is over
Dont turn away, before the night is gone
Dont turn away, the night may hold the answer
So dont turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone
You say your heart is lost forever
And youre always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again
You turn away from what you feel inside,
You cant forget all your foolish pride
Dont turn away, before the night is over
Dont turn away, before the night is gone
Dont turn away, the night may hold the answer
So dont turn away, before the night is gone
So now Im asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again
Dont turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride
Dont turn away, before the night is over
Dont turn away, before the night is gone
Dont turn away, the night may hold the answer
So dont turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone
Dont turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Dont put me away,
Dont walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An Im coming for you, baby...

I Dont Remember
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
Youll have to take me just the way that you find me
Whats gone is gone and I do not give a damn
Empty stomach, empty head
I got empty heart and empty bed
I dont remember
I dont remember
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
-anything at all
Strange is your language and I have no decoder
Why dont you make your intentions clear
With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
Saying, tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
Im all mixed up, I got nothing to say
I dont remember
I dont remember
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
Absolutely anything at all

My Father's Persistence
Was there rain coming down that day?
I really can't remember.
My mother says it was cold and dreary
on that day in December.
Was I welcomed onto this earth
as I took my first breath in?
My father wanted a boy to raise.
Should I have stayed where I had been?
Gradually he accepted a little girl
and held me on his knee.
He played LP records for hours
and I inhaled the harmony.
My mother says he was obsessed with this
and thought I should be left alone.
But his persistence through my first two years
paid off with each new tone.
By age four I was playing the piano
and my father praised God.
My mother was surprised I guess.
But she thought me rather odd.
My happiest childhood memories
was playing whatever I'd heard.
My father was deliriously happy.
My mother thought it absurd.
Most of my youth went so fast.
Most of it I can't remember,
just like the part about rain coming down
on that cold dreary day in December.
But the thing I remember the most now
was my father's pride and joy
that I was born a girl instead of a baby boy.
