Let me take my scarf off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Dont help me, (help me)
I can do it and you know it.
Dont touch me, (touch me)

I know you didnt keep it.
Let me take my pants off,

Youre thinking of rock hudson when we do it. (lets do it!)
Let me take my ring off,

Dont do it, (do it!)
I cant do it,
Im seeing broke glass when we do it. (do it!)
You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I dont remember what we promised,
But I know we didnt keep it.
You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I dont remember what we promised,
But I miss you!
- once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy and he went to...
- mummy...you should remember this more because dyou know why?
- why?
- I learnt it from my daddy, you know.
- umm-umm.
- hah-hah.
- once there was this little boy who asked his father
To tell him that old, old, old, old, old, old story.
Once upon a time there was this little boy who said,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once upon...

It can end...its just a little story.

You Promised Me
You promised not to hurt me,
You promised things were fine,
You promised that you loved me,
You promised you were mine.
You promised you meant what you said,
About our future love,
You promised that my heart could soar,
You said I was your dove.
You promised we would always laugh,
At our random lines,
You let me think I trusted you,
That you'd break my confines.
I put all my hope in you,
Because you promised me,
That you were my future,
That you would set me free.

No Way
[Chorus]
You promised not to let me down
You promised that you'd be around
You said I'd never hurt again
Me believe you? There's no way
You promised that you'd hold my hand
You promised that you'd be my man
I need for you to understand
For me to trust you

The Promise
How time will heal
Make me forget
You promised me
Time will heal
Make me forget
You promised me
Love will save us all
And time will heal
You promised me...
How love will save
Make me forget
You promised me
Love will save
Make me forget
You promised me
Time will heal us all
And love will save
You promised me...
I trusted you
I wanted your words
Believed in you
I needed your words
Time will heal
Make me forget
And love will save us all
You promised me another wish
Another way
You promised me another dream
Another day
You promised me another time
You promised me another life
You promised me...
So I swallowed the shame and I waited
I buried the blame and I waited
Choked back years of memories...
I pushed down the pain and I waited
Trying to forget...
You promised me another wish
Another way
You promised me another dream
Another day
You promised me another time
You promised me...
Another lie
Oh you promised me...
You promised me...you promised me
And I waited...and I waited...and I waited...
And I'm still waiting...

Attention Please
Pranab k c
08/2011
Promised to come our home field river sea cloud snow
Promised to appear blowing your sacred apron
white with mystic mist of thousand sun shining random
Promised to uphold all our conspiracy greed strong grip to snatch
last coin from distressed, last shelter from the homeless
virgin soil cracked and crushed by treasure monger
Promised to taught us love
Promised to give us light
Promised to take us away from death to life
Promised but failed to keep
failed and have been punished
as we the son and daughter of you
we have been directed to carry out order
painful to bear such hell on shoulder
since we the human never tried to be a God..

Promises...promises
He strode toward the podium
Confident n' broadly smiling;
As before...he spoke of change
For good folks like you n' me
Hollow words, distant n' strange
Sugared lies 'twas plain to see
He promised reform n' justice
Promised jobs n' lower taxes
Promised to hold banks accountable
Whilst Neo-Cons honed battle axes
He promised to work with red n' blues
Promised to repair bridges, highways n' streets
Promised to unite Muslims, Christians n' Jews
Promised to keep Zion nursing on U.S.A. teats
Promises...promises so carefully selected
False promises, that he may be re-elected

Do You Know, Do You Care
You said you would, you didnt and I wanna know why
And dont make no excuses
You promised, you promised, you better explain
Tho I dont know what the use is
You said you could, you couldnt, now why did you lie
You made it look so easy
You did it, why do it, what was your point?
Laughing while you tease me
Oh, do you know and do you care?
I said I did, I shouldnt cos the magic will go
It happened once before
Youll see it, youll steal it and take it away
And then come back for more
Dont say you werent, you were cos I saw you myself
Its too late for your reason
Youre lying, youre lying, youve done it this time
Im sick of all the cheating
Oh, well do you know and do you care?
cos I watch you
Oo every day I watch you pass me by
Ill get you
Yes in the end Ill get you
Just watch me try
Oh you make it hard to be hard but Im trying my best
Cos down inside Im burnin
You want it, you get it, now take it and run
Ill hide how much its hurtin
Oh, well do you know and do you care?
Oh, well do you know and do you care?

Until My Dying Day
Now I know your secret
I promise that Ill keep it
So confidentially
Between just you and me, Ill never leak it
Im the specialist
I know you cant resist
Ill bypass your alarm
No need to twist my arm, I insist
If youre looking for a war
Theres a market for betrayal
Dont ask me what I saw
Yknow my secrets not for sale
Dont ask me what I heard
Yknow I promised not to say
I said Id never breathe a word
Until my dying day
Well seeing is believing
No use in your deceiving
For now I know its true
Its you that holds the clue, Ill be leaving
Now Ive got to say goodbye
You understand I have to fly
When you get the third degree
And the truth dont set you free, youve got to lie
If youre looking for a war
Theres a market for betrayal
Dont ask me what I saw
Yknow my secrets not for sale
Dont ask me what I heard
Yknow I promised not to say
I said Id never breathe a word
Until my dying day

Over Easy
You said that its over, over easy
If I let go the pain will subside
cause sayin goodbyes never pretty
And its uglier livin a lie
But answer this one thing for me--why...
What did you mean when you said that is over
I dont understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me
Now its over, overflowing
With dreams that will never come true
You said its a good thing that we found out
Maybe better for me than for me
You wish that something in you would do
What did you mean when you said that its over
I dont understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Or did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me
Now its over
Over my head
And I feel like a drowning man
Whos still begging God for rain
What did you mean
Woah woah yeah
What did you mean
When you said its over
I dont understand
How could this be
You promised me
You said forever
Did you forget
Was I deceived
You needed me
Now its over
Over easy
If I let go the pain will subside

Promises
I promised myself, in the morning to be good until the night
but my willpower, it was lacking and the cake was in my sight.
I promised myself in the evening, I'd abstain from typing texts
when lying on the sofa while he was looking vexed.
I promised myself to stop swearing but much to my disgust
I blurted out the naughty words when I was feeling rough.
I promised to keep my promises but all too soon I failed
so I'm promising never to promise, to promise myself again.

Hard Luck Story
Dont ask me to love my neighbour
Cause I dont love the man
Dont ask me for my favours
I wont lend a hand
And if I had real power
Then I could disappear
Wouldnt have to be around you
Id sink into the atmosphere
Then I wouldnt hear
Your hard luck story
Its a hard luck, a hard luck story
Dont ask me to tip the waiter
For he is underhand
I can tell he is a woman hater
And he is a nasty man
Within reach lies all desire
For each and every soul
Stripped bare and stretching higher
You fall into the last balck hole
To end your hard
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Dont ask me to pray to jesus
Ive never met the man
I only meet weekend preachers
Pictures of the promised land
All the new holy saviours
Who pretend to understand
Who do you think will save you
Modern day beggar man
Such a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its such a hard
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Dont ask me to love my neighbour
Dont ask me to tip the waiter
Dont ask me to pray to jesus
He picked his time to leave us
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck story
Hard luck story

Crucified
You have changed, or were you always the same?
I give you up, its time to stop
Nothing moves at all, its like a sudden death
All these forgotten years are never coming back
The damage is done, its all over now
So dont complain, dont mention it again
Is it you or is it me, who cant see?
Its way above our heads, were up a tree
Theres too much confusion, you leave me no choice
If I wanted anything from you
I would put a halt to it all
The path you chose is full of thorns
A one way street where no one goes
So now you crucify me, but why should I do the same?
For I promised nothing, its all in vain
You have too much illusions, you want to be in control
And if I promised you anything in life is to keep an open mind to it all
Say what you want of me and I say what I want of you
I wont leave it up to anything
Maybe I am cruel to be kind, kind

You
You made promises.
You knew you would never keep them.
You made them anyway.
You promised you would never hurt me.
You did.
You promised you would never lie to me.
You did.
You promised to always be there when I needed you.
You weren't.
You promised to never leave.
You left.
You promised to always care about me.
You stopped.
You never should have made promises you knew you wouldn't keep.
You left me here alone.
You made me think.
You made me realize I don't need you.
You may think I do.
You are so wrong.
You left and I let go.
You were important to me, but I've learned to move on.
You will never lie to me again.
You will never hurt me again.
You will never hear my voice.
You will never see my face.
You lost me.
You have to be the one to let go now.
You shouldn't have treated me that way.
You never will again.
You are gone and I've moved on.

Born Under A Star
Do you remember the story, of the Bethlehem Star
There in that land long ago, and so very far
I know it is hard for us to see
To fathom or even believe
But do you remember, that day, there at Gethsemane
There at that place, for you and even me
Oh...Ohoo... And then, there again, at Calvary
There his life, for me and even thee
Now can we understand about that shining bright light
That glorious birth, for us to remember, for ever that night
Now you know why, His birth under a star
Our Saviour sacrificed, gave us everything, from that land afar
The Prince of Peace, taught how to love
Remember, to forgive, and how to pray, to Father above
His promised love
Has broken the chains, that surround our hearts
Love and tears and then floods, began to start
Washing, burning relif, for our souls
His promised love, made us completely whole
His promised love, has carried us just so far
Giving us love, and everything, even yet
Born in a manger, under that star

I Dont Wanna Face It
Okay, lets go!
Un, deux, ein, zwei, hickle pickle!
Say youre looking for a place to go,
Where nobody knows your name.
Youre looking for oblivion
With one eye on the hall of fame.
I dont wanna face it, oh no,
I dont wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can dish it out but I just cant take it.
Say youre looking for some peace and love,
Leader of a big old band.
You wanna save humanity
But its people that you just cant stand.
I dont wanna face it, oh no,
I dont wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can sing for my supper but I just cant make it.
Ow!
Well, now youre looking for a world of truth,
Tryin to find a better way.
The time has come to see yourself,
You always look the other way.
I dont wanna face it, oh no,
I dont wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can see the promised land and I know I can make it.
I dont wanna face it, oh no,
I dont wanna face it, oh no,
I dont wanna face it, oh no,

Ah-ooh!

One Road
Time...is the enemy of a young mans dreams
Im stranded...in the heartland, or so it seems
Im hitching a ride for a chance at the good life
Ill have my own place. out on fifth avenue
Im leavin this time gonna walk on that fine line
Ill be the first one who finally breaks through
One road to the promised land
I have to get there any way I can
One road to the promised land
Gonna find out just who I am
Freedom...do you know what I mean
Flatlands...are all Ive ever seen
Stuck in a small town where you live, then you die
Aint nothin but fools workin nine until five
Ill sleep in the subways till I get what I need
Im not gonna stay here, just lie here and bleed
One road to the promised land
Im gonna get there any way I can
One road to the promised land
Show the world just who I am
One road to the promised land
I thought by now Id be a different man
One road to the promised land
Guess I found out...just who I am

King Of The World
Hello one and all
Was it you I used to know
Cant you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All I got to say Im alive and feeling fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine
No marigolds in the promised land
Theres a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the rio grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know
I dont want your bread
I dont need your helping hand
I cant be no savage
I cant be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I will spend this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of santa fe
No marigolds in the promised land
Theres a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the rio grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know
Im reading last years papers
Although I dont know why
Assassins cons and rapers
Might as well die
If you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
Theres no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live til saturday
No marigolds in the promised land
Theres a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the rio grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know

Peanuts And Promises
You promised me the world, the sun and stars.
You promised me a journey straight to Mars.
You promised me you'd catch the moon,
And present it to me on a spoon.
You promised me a mansion large
With numerous cars in the huge garage.
As our minds surveyed the rolling fields,
You promised me that they would yield
Equine, Canine, Feline friends,
To walk beside us to the end.
When you saw your promises turn to snow
In summer sun to melt and go,
In rivulets along life's lane
Despairingly you spoke my name.
In torment did you turn and say
"I promised you all beauteous days.
All my promises did through our lives wend.
And I gave you just "peanuts" in the end"
I smiled at you so tenderly
As we sat together knee to knee.
I told you what you did not know
That promises are so; just so.
Our wishes for our loved ones true,
But all I need, is you; just you.
