Here In Pleasantville
If you could see yourself
The way that I do
You might change
A thing or two
You wouldnt look so angry
Youd know it doesnt
Look good on you
So grab your coat
Grab your hat
There aint no saying
If were coming back
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
Do you remember
How wed stay out so late
We used to have
So much fun
We used to wish that the morning sun
Just wouldnt ever come
But look at us now
Were tucked in tight
Were just praying for a little light
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
I need to tell you now
As we leave
That its much worse
Than you would believe
And no matter how far
You think youve been
The beginning
Is where you are
So Im using my last match
To put a fire up on every hill
And burn down pleasantville
We never did learn
How to use our voices
We never thought
That wed be heard
The only way they ever listen
Is if we sream every word
Caouse theres nothing
In our walk
That just aint the kind of luck weve got
So lets move on
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville

Related quotes
We observe that nothing creates fascists like the threat of freedom. Pleasantville is the kind of parable that encourages us to re-evaluate the good old days and take a fresh look at the new world we so easily dismiss as decadent. Yes, we have more problems. But also more solutions, more opportunities and more freedom. I grew up in the '50s. It was a lot more like the world of Pleasantville than you might imagine. Yes, my house had a picket fence, and dinner was always on the table at a quarter to six, but things were wrong that I didn't even know the words for.

Was That What It Was?
(tennant/lowe)
----------------
Think again - remember what we said
Promises - how we both forget
Even now I see it in your eyes
When and why, and where was paradise?
Somethings been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?
Think again - remember what you said
Youd never leave - if you did I wouldnt care
I never dared to ring you up and ask you why
Too proud to beg or hear you cry
Somethings been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?
I dont need any more in my life
Did you need something more in your life?
Was that what it was?
Was - that - what it was?
Somethings been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?

Lonely In The Night
Im runnin tired of this deception
I have no wish to play this game
Too many times a bad connection
And youre still holding me away
Were living under false pretenses
Foolin ourselves, believe the lies
I could not take one more rejection
You wanted more but would not try
Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Were trapped within our own defenses
The walls we made all look the same
There is no love without affection
Weve come to far to break the chain
Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Im growing tired of this deception
We fall apart and wonder why?
Our hearts now pull in new directions
We dont know how to say goodbye
Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

What About The Love
I went to see my sister.
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin.
He said, first deny your body,
And then learn to submit.
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent.
I said, is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?
Somethings wrong.
I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on wall street;
You could hear the futures roar.
He said, here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where theres famine,
I can make you guarantees.
I said, is this all there is,
Power to the strong?
Somethings wrong.
Somethings wrong in heaven tonight.
You can almost hear them cry.
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, what about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?
I went to see my neighbor.
Hed been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go.
He said, here I lack for nothing;
I am fed and I am clothed.
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know.
I said, is this all there is,
When your usefulness is gone?
Somethings wrong.
Somethings wrong in heaven tonight. (somethings wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, what about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?
(yeah, yeah, yeah....)
(yeah.)
(yeah.)
I looked into the mirror, (yeah.)
Proud as I could be, (yeah.)
And I saw my pointing finger (yeah.)
Pointing back at me,
Saying, who named you accuser? (yeah.)
Who gave you the scales? (yeah.)
I hung my head in sorrow; (yeah.)
I could almost feel the nails.
I said, this is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love.
Somethings wrong in heaven tonight. (somethings wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, what about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love of god?
Somethings wrong in heaven tonight. (somethings wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, what about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love of god?
Somethings wrong in heaven tonight. (somethings wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (cry.)

Im On Automatic
This is metal rhythm
A new song on the radio
Some new face
A picture on your wall
Talk to me
You say its nothing personal
But somethings wrong
Its eating me alive
I cant fine the reason
So I cant find the cure
They say nothingss wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Ive never hurt like this
Im on automatic
Ive heard it all before
Some new flavour
With nothing in the hear
This isnt music
This is survival
But Im still here
Now isnt that strange
I cant find the reason
So I cant find the cure
They say nothings wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Ive never hurt like this
They say nothings wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Nothings ever hurt like this

Red Eye
Let me tell you a story
Let me shovel some dirt
Long time, no sugar
And it s starting to hurt
* * somethings flattened my cola
Somethings wrong with my brew
Somethings rotten in idaho
And I dont know what to do
* gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gona, gone, gone
On the red express
( * repeat 3 times)
Only go around once
Gotta quench that thirst
Gotta grab that gusto
Gotta get there first
( ** repeat)

May Be A Price To Pay
(lead vocal - elmer gantry)
Somethings wrong in this house today
While the master was riding the servants decided to play
Somethings wrong in this house today
Somethings been going on there may be a price to pay
Theres evil brewing, getting out of control
And Im helpless I cant put it right
Somethings unrighteous is possessing my soul
And its cold in the heat of the night
Somethings wrong in this house today
While the sorcerer slept the apprentice decided to play
While the master was hiding the servants decided to play
Might be too much sun or too much of something in the air
Whatevers happening nobody else is aware
Theres evil brewing, getting out of control
And Im helpless I cant put it right
Somethings unrighteous is possessing my soul
And its cold in the heat of the night
Somethings wrong in this house today
Somethings been going on there may be a price to pay

You were so amused when I made myself available
You had to ask if it was all intentional
Well somethings going on, on and on
Somethings going on, going on and on
Im finding out all about you
The sun is hiding and the car is running badly
I know only one way a friend should kiss a friend goodbye
But somethings going on, on and on
Somethings going on, going on and on
Im finding out all about you
Youre taking it all to hard, Ive nothing left to fight you with
All your pretty things are merely to create the myth
That somethings going on, on and on
Somethings going on, going on and on

Yeah somethings going on, on and on
Somethings going on, going on and on and

This Aint A Love Song
I should have seen it coming when roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good bye
Baby, aint it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
Youre really on your knees, when you think youre standing tall
But only fools are know-it-alls and I played that fool for you
I cried and I cried
There were nights that died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried aint that long
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong, this aint a love song
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime but
We were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldnt fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
It made me so mad cause I wanted it bad for us baby
Now its so sad that whatever we had, aint worth saving
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river Ive cried aint that long
Then Im wrong, yes Im wrong, this aint a love song
If the pain that Im feeling so strong
Is the reason that Im holding on
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong - this aint a love song
I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried aint that long
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong - this aint no love song
If the pain that Im feeling so strong
Is the reason that Im holding on
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong - this aint a love song
If the pain that Im feeling so strong
Is the reason that Im holding on
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong - this aint a love song
Yes, Im wrong, yeah, Im wrong - this aint a love song
Yes, Im wrong, yeah, Im wrong - this aint a love song
Yes, Im wrong, yeah, Im wrong - this aint a love song

Somethings Burning
You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen, can you not hear our young hearts beating
Chorus:
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes, cant you feel it, baby
Cant you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it, fire, fire
Somethings burning, somethings burning
Somethings burning, and I think its love
And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
And I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
2nd chorus:
I cup my hands to touch your face
Once again I feel your fire
And here it comes, cant you feel it, baby
Cant you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it, fire, fire
Somethings burning, somethings burning
Somethings burning, and I think its love
I think its love, I think its love
I think its love, I think its love
Cant you feel, the fire keeps burning
Cant you feel, the fire keeps burning
Cant you feel, the fire keeps burning love

Of everything Ive seen before, well, um
Somewhere in my life
Been paying the price
But that aint enough anymore, well

Sometimes I cant explain
Why I go insane

Spellbound
Why does love hurt so
How do you just know
How to get to me baby
Words arent only words
When theyre from you theyre
Heard
When you say
You really love me
Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click
Maybe its a spell
That youve got me under
Somethings going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and I found
I was spellbound.
Chorus:
Spellbound
So
Spellbound
So wicked
Spellbound
And your prison
Feels good so
Spellbound
Your kisses
Spellbound
Against my wishes
Spellbound
I wouldnt help it if I could
Metaphysical past the visual
You touch the heart of me
Night turns in to day
Shadows fade away
When you say you
Really love me
Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click
Maybe its a spell
That youve got me under
Somethings going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and I found
I was spellbound
Chorus
Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click
Maybe its a spell
That youve got me under
Somethings going down
Turn my world around

Confused
Written by: lenny kravitz
Talking bout a woman
Talking bout a man
I just cant seem to get it together
Joining hands in hands
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks
Im confused, so confused
And I got to tell you somethings wrong with the news
Yeah
Im confused, so confused
And I got to tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
Baby baby baby baby baby
Let me feel you no good inside
All I wanna do is love you, love you, love you
Instead of making you cry
But when I come about
I just met another woman the other side of town
Im confused, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
Im confused, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
You ask me if I love you baby
And I tell you that I do
But dont you ask me if youre the only woman
cause I cant say that its thru
Talking bout a woman
Talking bout a man
I just cant seem to get it together
Joining with a man, hand in hand
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks
Im confused, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
Im confused, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
Im confused
Yes I am darling, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I cant choose
Im confused, have mercey, so confused
And I gotta tell you somethings wrong with the news
I just cant, I just cant choose

No Such Luck
By michael mcdonald/grady walker/harry garfield
If we could dream our lives away
That would be just fine
Without the cares and fears that prey on everybodys mind
Tryin to get back to a memory
Tryin to put the flame back in our hearts
As we look back and we see the past
Like it never was
Chorus:
cause its no such luck
There aint no such thing
Cant blame the stars or fever of spring
No such luck
There aint no such thing
Somethings always goin wrong
Were just one step ahead of the heartaches|
Tryin to disguise how they take their toll
Just when you think that you got it down
Then you lose control

Somethings Wrong
Somethings wrong, that restless feelings been preying on your mind
Road maps in a well cracked ceiling the signs arent hard to find
Now Im not saying that youve been mistreated
No ones hurt you - nothings wrong
A moments rest was all you needed
So pack your things and kindly move along
Like dust in the wind youre gone forever
Youre wind-blown leaves youre a change in the weather
Just a town like any other a second brand new start
A third or fourth hand wife or lover no, you wont break her heart
Take some bacon go on and leave your watch chain
She wont count on nothing more
Wrap your hands around that small change
And tiptoe barefoot out the door
Yes, somethings wrong that restless feelings been preying on my mind
When things get bad Im bound to pack my bags and just
Leave them all behind

Got Me Wrong
Yeh, it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life
No color clay
Individuality not safe
As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong
I cant let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me to
As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong
I havent felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That dont last forever
Somethings gotta turn out right
You sugar taste
Sweetness doesnt often touch my face
Stay if you please
You may not be here when I leave
As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong
I havent felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
Strong, I havent felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
T hat dont last forever
Somethings gotta turn out right

I Can Tell By The Way You Smell
(walter davis)
Hey, look here baby, whats going on ?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! look here.
Your hair is all wrecked, youre full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking just like a goose
It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
Youve been doing something
Youve been doing something wrong
Youve been doing something
Youve been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell
And theres grandma and grandpa out on the porches
Must be kidding bout her ninety years
Aint too old, God almighty, just keep shifting them gears
Well, you aint too old, said you aint too old
Aint too old, doing the boogie, you aint too old
I can tell by the way they smell
Well, its a-run here mama! just look at little sis
Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
Shes doing something wrong, shes doing something wrong
Shes doing something wrong, God knows shes doing it
I can tell by the way she smell
Go on and change your clothes!

Somethings Missing
The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But its just not the same
Had this great expectation
About a heart thats free
I thought thats what I wanted
Would be waiting for me
Chorus:
Baby somethings missing tonight
Something aint feeling right
Baby somethings wrong and Im so confused
Baby somethings missing inside
Something I cant find in the night
I finally realized what Im missing is you
In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone
I thought Id fall back in step
This is where I belong
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart

Heres a little song to make you feel good
Put a little light in your day
These are crazy times
And its all been getting pretty serious
Heres a little song to make you feel right
Send the blues away
Well its a crazy game
Tell me whos to blame, Im kind of curious.
Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when youre singing the blues
Well somethings the matter, but nothing gets done
Oh everyones waiting for a place in the sun
Well something is wrong now
Can something be wrong with me
Oh brother, whys it got to be so crazy...
Gimme little left, gimme little right
Gimme little black, gimme little white
Gimme little peace, gimme little hope
Gimme little light
cause you know it seems that the situations getting serious.
Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when youre singing the blues
Well somethings the matter, but nothing gets done
Theres no use in waiting for a place in the sun
