Mushanga
I cant forget you, my little mushanga, I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting, they keep getting longer, and not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer, sent to report on political views
It was by chance, through a lens that I met you, a kingston girl with no shoes
Chorus:
[
You were runnin down the road, I was going your way
You stopped and turned around, and lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering, I didnt understand, then
You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, mushanga, oh
]
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
And loss of lives mining white mans gold
I had to leave and go back to manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened, if what I knew could be told
Its been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that youre after
You know my heart is with you
Chorus
Mushanga, oh, mushanga, oh (repeats 3x)

You're The One
Words & music by paul simon
May twelve angels guard you
While you sleep
Maybe that's a waste of angels i don't know
I'd do anything to keep you safe
From the danger that surrounds us
Little by little
Bit by bit
Little bit by little bit
Now you got it that's it
What're you thinking?
Things'll go sour?
Take its temperature every hour
Nervous when you own it
Nervous when it's gone
What do you think has been going on
For so long?
Bridge:
You are the air
Inside my chest
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
But when i hear it from the other side
It's a completely different song
I'm the one who made you cry
And i'm the one who's wrong
In my dream you spoke to me
And you said
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
Verse:
Nature gives us shapeless shapes
Clouds and waves and flame
But human expectation
Is that love remains the same
And when it doesn't
We point our fingers
And blame blame blame
Chorus:
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
And i'm the one
I broke your heart
I made you cry
And you're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
We're the ones

Broke Her Heart
She gave me her trust
So I broke her heart
She gave me her dreams
So I broke her heart
She gave me her love
So I broke her heart
She gave me a future
So I broke her heart
She made me a home
So I broke her heart
She gave me my children
So I broke her heart
She gave me her hand
So I broke her heart
She gave me a ring
So I broke her heart
She gave me her life
So I broke her heart
Then she gave me my freedom
So I broke MY heart

Heartbroke
Now who wouldnt notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of impending good-byes
Ive followed and folded, Im wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face
With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, dont give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke
Now pride is a drag and a bore when youre lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to you
But all is not lost, its only mistaken
Thats small consolation but I know just how you feel
With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, dont give up on believing in me
Heart broke , who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke
Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such
With your heart broke and running from the reason
Youõve got your heart broke, dont give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke, youve got me heart broke

Alameda
You walk down alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense
For your own protection over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
Could plague me when Im awake
And now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in
Youre all pretension
I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
If youre alone it must be you that wants to be apart

And she say, no, no, no, no, no
I wanna squeeze her tight and not offend her, yeah

Sealed it with a kiss and placed it in front of my door

Seems as though youve got your way before
You left me standing helpless just when I need more
You broke my heart for the last time, you broke my heart for the last time

The Door To Your Heart
I needed you
You werent there
You never cared about me
You broke my heart
So many times
Till there was nothing that I felt inside
I didnt know
That Id be needing you
Till I lost your love now youre all Im thinking of
Chorus
Standing here in the pouring rain
Every night callin out your name
Lookin for the door to your heart
Baby please let me see a sign
Let me know that your loves still mine
Let me back through to door to your heart
So many nights
So all alone
So many days
How I wished that you still loved me
You had your chance
Threw it away
And now you love me but your loves too late
I didnt know
You were the one for me
No that I see
Back in your arms is where I wanna be
Chorus
Standin here in the pourin rain
You werent there
Every night callin out your name
You didnt care
Looking for the door to your heart
You broke my heart
Baby please let me see a sign
So many times
Let me know that your loves still mine
Let me back through the door to your heart back through the door to your heart
I needed you ad lib

Which One Of Them
The girl at the bar she bought me a beer
And shed like to know if Im new around here
And the gal that I danced with says shes all alone
Her friends have all left and she needs a ride home
Oh and there have been others who gave me the eye
But if they only knew they were wasting their time
Cause theres only one lover I can give my heart to
But you didnt want it and you broke it in two
(chorus)
(so tell me) which one of them will be you tonight
Oh which one will hold me in your arms so tight
Ive forgotten whats wrong, given up on whats right
(tell me) which on of them will be you tonight
So Ill just smile and pretend and shell never know
Who shes up against when shes holdin me close
Youre all that I want, girl, youre all that I need
And when I close my eyes, honey youre all I see

Love Triangle
She may not be my favorite person
She may always put me on the edge
Sometimes I think she deserves it
But I don’t like the way you broke her heart
I may not be compared with her
I always hold a jealousy over her
Sometimes I think I could love you better
But I don’t like the way she broke your heart
You always know I have feeling for you
You are cruel to give a hope to me
Sometimes I think I’m destiny to wait forever
And I don’t like the way you broke my heart
Maybe I’m ungrateful human
Or maybe because I don’t want to lose anyone
Sometimes I wish heart would be simpler
And I don’t like the way I broke your heart

Broke Down And Busted
Look at this empty face,
Look at this broken frame
I have been no other place
And you know I've heard no other name.
How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
I look the worst that you've ever seen
Is it too much to ask what that's supposed to mean?
You've been playin' around and I played the part
Of a broke-down man with a busted heart.
Reach out a hand and see
What you have made of me
Take a good hard look and then
Close your eyes and
Ask yourself again
How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
You know that I would go anywhere
That I could go in my old wheelchair
Though I wouldn't get far 'til it fell apart
I'm a broke down man with a busted heart.
How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
You know my state as you hear my song
You'll change your mind if I live that long
Couldn't start it again
Nothing's left to start
But a busted man with a broke-down heart.

The April Boughs
It was not then her heart broke—
That moment when she knew
That all her faith held holiest
Was utterly untrue.
It was not then her heart broke—
That night of prayer and tears
When first she dared the thought of life
Through all the empty years.
But when beneath the April boughs
She felt the blossoms stir,
The careless mirth of yesterday
Came near and smiled at her.
Old singing lingered in the wind,
Old joy came close again,
Oh, underneath the April boughs,
I think her heart broke then.

Its Still Here
(words & music by ivory joe hunter)
The day you said wed never part
You turned around and broke my heart
You had the nerve to tell me I would soon forget
Now youve been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-oh
Its here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
Were really through
And though you said wed never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Its here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
Were really through
Now youve been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-oh
Its here, its here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
Were really through
And though you said wed never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-ow
Its here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
Were really through
And though you said wed never part
You turned around and broke my heart

The Camels Heart
You come to me with teardrops in your eyes
Expecting me to listen to your lies
You want me to forget and to forgive
Enough, enough, this aint no way to live
I know you wonder why Id leave like this
After all the hurt Ive put up with
This is the last time, this is the last straw
Too late, too late now its your time to crawl
Chorus:
Shes just the straw that broke the camels heart
Its not her fault, its yours we fell apart
No more, Im done, I want a brand new start
(its) shes just the straw that broke the camels heart
Ive been grasping at straws for much too long
This aint the first time you have done me wrong
This time you drew the short end of the straw
The game is over, you have lost it all

Shes just the straw that broke the camels heart

Love Never Broke Anyones Heart
You say your heart has been broken
And its taking forever to mend
And its left you even more certain
That youll never love again
A long time ago someone told me
Its not love that causes the pain
Whenever a heart has been shattered
Its the losing of love thats to blame
Love never broke anyones heart
It never left anyone scarred
Its not really love if it tears you apart
Love never broke anyones heart
I know your feelings are tender
And youre so afraid they wont heal
Ill prove to you love doesnt hurt you
And Ill show you how true love should feel
Love never broke anyones heart
It never left anyone scarred
Its not really love if it tears you apart
Love never broke anyones heart

A Broken Heart
I saw my heart as it fell on the floor.
Heavy with sorrow it could hold no more.
I saw my heart as it slowed its beat.
Filled with sadness it lay at my feet.
I heard my heart as it said
'Where is my love?
Where can it be? '
I answered as best as I knew how.
'He's gone away. He broke our vow.'
I saw my heart as it broke in two.
I did not know what I should do.
I must go on so I placed it back
and prayed it would not feel the lack
as much as the rest of me.

Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be my find?
Could it be, after all this time,
Fate is going to be kind?
Could you be the one for me,
The one to help me forget
The man that broke my heart, my soul
The man that haunts me yet?
You tell me that I'm beautiful
Something I've never heard
But the one still lives here in my mind
That couldn't spare a kind word
It's going to be hard to forget
And pick up the pieces he left
Could you be the one to teach
How to love again and forget?
Could you be the one to come
And mend my broken heart?
Are you willing to piece together
What another broke apart?
It won't be an easy job, you see
My road has been long and rough
And the heart that was once so soft
Is now shut, locked, and tough
But I can feel my heart open again
It's opening for you
Just come in, and love me back
That's all you have to do
I must ask you one small thing
Before we kiss and part
Please be nice and kind to me
I'm tired of broken hearts

Me & Virgil
Ma would never say what happened
And we knew better than push too hard
We knew we had all the chores to tend to
Like fixing fences and helping her
Washing dishes and making coffee
Me and virgild chop some wood
But wed stop our swinging
Just to listen to her crying
It didnt sound too good
I can remember, too well
But we never thought to pay much heed
We learned to live life the best we could
But then one day pa upped and left us
High and dry without a word
Seemed a pity
My ma was pretty
But I soon learned life aint that way
And I can remember hearing her weeping
While we were sleeping next to her
I can remember
Ill never forgive and Ill never forget
Cos pa you broke her heart
Ooh pa you broke her heart
You broke her heart
Ooh pa you broke her heart
Well the years rolled by
And fore we knew it
Our sister got married and moved out west
I stayed with ma, cos I couldnt desert her
I knew it would hurt her to be alone
So we pulled tighter
We said wed try to make things easy
And raise a smile
But as the night came
Wed hear her crying
Praying for pa to come back again
I can remember
Ill never forgive him and Ill never forget
Cos pa you broke her heart
Oh pa you broke her heart
And then the winter came
Id never known it colder
Ooh it seemed the worst for years
And the night she died I swear I saw her smiling
Saying I was a big boy now, no tears
So I packed up all we had, and virgil got the horses
And we paid our last respects and gave the whip a crack
Ooh, seemed a big bad world, we were riding into
Me and virgil both agreed, we best head off
And dont look back
Nothing but desert all around
Oh it made me wonder
Lord its hard to carry on
When youre sick with hunger
Weeks and months of sleeping rough
Keeping clear of danger
Seems we were miles from anywhere
And too far gone to change it
Wed best keep going, dont look back
Well me and virgil we beat the desert
Riding fast and riding hard
We hit the city, the past behind us
So we raised some hell, we had some fun
But real soon I met a lady oh so pretty, and oh so fine
fore too long I found myself married
With a home of my own and a blue eyed son
And til this day I can hear ma saying to me -
Youre a big boy now
