Robert Frost

The Armful

For every parcel I stoop down to seize
I lose some other off my arms and knees,
And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns --
Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,
Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.
With all I have to hold with hand and mind
And heart, if need be, I will do my best
To keep their building balanced at my breast.
I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;
Then sit down in the middle of them all.
I had to drop the armful in the road
And try to stack them in a better load.

Pray

Tell me why we didnt try
Tell me why you had to go
Cant you see it makes me cry
There are so many things I have to know
Cause I still care about you
And time is long overdue
Now I pray on my knees and I look at the stars
That you would be here laying down in my arms
I pray on my knees for you x2
I know that I cant turn back time
Just to undo all my mistakes
Im not gonna cry for the rest of my days
I will do whatever it takes
Cause I still care about you
And time is long overdue
I pray on my knees
I pray on my knees
For you
Now I pray on my knees and I look at the stars
That you would be here laying down in my arms
I pray on my knees for you x2

Slipping Away

Guess it's just another dream
That's slipping away
Each time I fall asleep
It seems I'm just drifting away
Just as yo have touched my heart
Babe I wake and we're apart
Yeah and it's slipping away

Here comes just another day
That's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath
It's dying away
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be around soon
Slipping away
Slipping away

Drifting away
Slipping away

Just as you have touched my heart
I wake up babe and we're apart
It seems we're slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

All I want is ecstasy
But I ain't getting much
Just getting off on misery
It seems I've lost my touch

Well it's just another song
But it's slipping away
We we didn't sing it long
'Cos it's fading away
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

Slipping Away

Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster
Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and Ill be gone
Turn the page, yeah, time to start another story
Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along
No reason to stay
Oh, when Im slipping away
Take a look at yourself, youve been running in a circle
Round and round you go, youre a start without an end
Start a new life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies
Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow
Slipping away
Slipping away
Nobody to pay
Look out, cause Im slipping away
Rockin the glass, I wont leave you my reflection
A future without a past, no more road to take me back
Come if you will, just dont question my direction
Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun
Slipping away
Slipping away
Got nobody to pay
And youre slippin away
No more running in a circle
Its time to move along
Round, round, round we go
A start without an end
So Im slipping away
Slipping away

Drop Your Buns Aunt Betty

Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
And that package on your back.
We ate your baked cookies,
And they went rather fast.

Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
We know they are delicious
Since they're made with cinnamon.
We're not a bit suspicious
Of the love that's in them.
Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
And grab a little snack and relax.
You owe us that!

Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
And that package on your back.
We ate your baked cookies,
And they went rather fast.

Drop your buns Aunt Betty.
Would you like a bowl of soup,
To boot that mood that has you pooped.
From all that mixing in the kitchen fixing food that you do.
There's some noodles with onions and peppers in it too!

Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
And that package on your back...
And relax.

Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
We know they are delicious
Since they're made with cinnamon.
We're not a bit suspicious
Of the love that's in them.
Drop your buns Aunt Betty,
And grab a little snack and relax.

You owe us that!

To A Friend Named Sheila

grab the day, seize what is here now
it is never less neither more that what is not there yet
what is the past? it is useless to quantify
neither is there a need to qualify, for it is gone
i have the present, it has space, it is certain,
there is even no need to imagine
what is it.
I bid you, seize what is here
it is opening its arms
to embrace you.

I Don't Care Anymore

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
So drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore. (I don't care)
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore. (they don't care)
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
'Cos ev'ry day (everyday)
I'm feeling fine with myself (I'm feeling fine with myself)
And I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
Hey I'll do alright by myself (I'll be alright by myself)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care anymore
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!

Do you care? Hell no!

Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!

'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos ya held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore
Did you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
We won't be there any more
So get out of our way.
Let us by
We got better things to do with our time

Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms

Another lonely monday morning and I dont want to face the world outside
No control
You got someone there to make you smile
But I cry alone
Givin those secret feeling
You never cooperate , share your love with me
I try in vain to seize your heart
Please dont keep me waiting for that sign
Give me one good reason why you say goodnight and mean goodbye
Please let me
Let me wake up in your arms
Let me go down in your dreams
There is so much we can do before tomorrow and what tomorrow means
I want to get close to you
Every single word I swear is true
On bended knees,i beg you
Let me wake up in your arms
Its gotta be now or never that heaven in your eyes
You touch me hand and I just die
If you got no one there to see you through , Im standing by
I give you my secret feelings
Another lonely monday morning and I dont want to face the truth inside
cause youre not mine
Maybe Ive been reachin far too high
I may be somebody you dont know
But I wont let you forget me , let me
Let me wake up in your arms
Let me go down in your dreams
There is so much we can do before tomorrow and what tomorrow means
Baby I want to get close to you
Every single word I swear is true
On bended knees I beg you
Let me wake up in your arms
I wont let you forget me
Let me , let me , let me
Let me wake up in your arms
Let me go down in your dreams
There is so much we can do before tomorrow and what tomorrow means
Baby I want to get close to you
Every single word I swear is true
On bended knees , I beg you
Let me wake up in your arms
Nobody wants to sleep alone

Holiness

Holiness covers my weaknesses
Melting my selfishness
Cause of you
Try with all my might
But it's your strength inside
Gives me the will to fight the battle through
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
Loneliness plays to my darkness
Caressing my vengefulness
When you're not here
As pressure destroys my mind
You conquer me every time
By mending the brokenness
Behind my fears
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
I can now look up
And face my deepest shades
And the fire across my bow
'Cause you know me
And I know you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you

Slipping Away

Yeah
La dee dah dee dah yeah
La ooh, yeah
Oh ooh, yeah
So far, so far
You're slipping away, away
Slipping away from the live and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
So far, so far, so far
Slipping away, away
Slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading fast
It seems... you know you're slipping away from me
I keep on reaching and I, I keep on trying
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me baby
I keep on yearning and I
I guess I'm learning that it's just a losing fight
'Cause there's no passion in your eyes
No, no, no, no babe
Yeah-eah
Chorus
I keep denying that our, our love is dying
But it's all a big charade and it's a fruitless game to play
I can't remember when you, you last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone, yeah
Chorus
Away, away, away, away
Yeah
Hey, yeah
Further, further
Ooh yeah
You're so far
(Time after time I reach for you
I try and I try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby you're slipping away from me)
You're so far
(Repeat)
(So far, so far
Slipping away, away)
Slipping away from what we had
Truly I just don't understand
(So far, so far, so far
Slipping away, away)
You're slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading so fast
It seems... you know you're slipping away from me
Baby, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So far
Yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby I'm so afraid
Oh, where?
So far... so far

Lift Me Up (feat. Darren Hayes)

When I'm down on my luck and I'm searching for my soul
When I'm feeling too much and I start to lose control
When I'm down so low that even enemies don't wanna know
You still care for me say a prayer for me and I know
Ooo I like you hanging around
Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Ooo you are my favourite sound
Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
When I'm lost along way and I can't face another day
And if I stumble on the road and if I can't carry the load
And if I lose my faith, and kindness, and generousity
Would you hold my hand?
Say you understand my pain
Ooo I like you hanging around
Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Ooo you are my favourite sound
Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
It's been a long hard road and it's only just begun my friend
And this I know you helped me carry the load
Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
Whell you're always around
You're my favourite sound
Lift me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are arou

Dont Wanna Lose You Now

(max martin)
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that Id be left behind
That I was stronger than you, baby
Girl if only I knew what Ive done
You know, so why dont you tell me
And i, I would bring down the moon and the sun
To show how much I care
Chorus
Dont wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Dont wanna lose you now
No, no, or ever again
Ive got this feeling youre not gonna stay
Its burning within me
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer, baby
Whatever reason to leave that Ive had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didnt need you so bad
Your face just wont go away
Chorus
I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that Id be left behind
That I was stronger than you
Dont want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Dont want to lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again

Down On My Knees

Sometimes you wonder
How much I care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
Id be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin down on my knees
Making you stay
Id be beggin you please
Dont take your love from me
Id be down on my knees
I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind no matter how hard it blows
But Id have to be stronger than I want to be
If I had to live without you loving me
Id be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin down on my knees
Making you stay
Id be beggin you please
Dont take your love from me
Id be down on my knees
No one matters more in my life
Makes me feel like you make me feel inside
Ive come far enough to know loves
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
Id be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin down on my knees
Making you stay
Id be beggin you please
Dont take your love from me
Id be down on my knees

Walkin' On Fire

I was born to dream,
The craziest boy you ever seen,
I gotta do It my way,
Or no way at all.
And I was here to please,
I'm even on knees
Makin love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
And then you came around,
Tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Or no way at all.
Well I've had all I can take,
I can't take it no more,
I'm gonna pack my bags and fly......baby,
Or no way at all.
So why don't you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
Why don't you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
I wanna fly.
I'm here to please,
I'm even on my knees,
Makin love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
I gotta do it my way,
And when you came around,
You Tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Well I'm sayin no way,
So why don't you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
Why don't you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
I wanna fly.
Repeat
Turn me lose,
Repeat.

Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In The Bed

(Kinky Friedman)
You uppity women I don't understand
Why you gotta go and try to act like a man,
But before you make your weekly visit to the shrink
You'd better occupy the kitchen, liberate the sink.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Early every morning you're out on the street
Passing out pamphlets to everyone you meet.
You gave up your Maiden Form for Lent
And now the front of your dress has an air scoop vent.
Every single brakeman that's ever come along
Had a little woman always tellin' him that he's wrong.
Eve said to Adam, ?Here's an apple you horse?
And Delilah defoliated Samson's moss.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Mean-hearted harpies are breaking all the laws
Tearing up their girdles and a-burning up their bras,
Now the air is dirty and the sex is clean
And your coffee makes my hair turn green.
So damn emancipated in your mind and your body,
Gonna have to cancel all your lessons in karate.
If you can't love a male chauvinist
You'd better cross me off your shopping list.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.

Rain is such a lonely sound
Falling on the ground
Youre slipping away
Youre slipping away
Driving through the midnight rain
Oh I call your name
Youre slipping away
Day after day
Youre like a candle in the wind
Why dont you stay
*take a chance it lasts forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance
The greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another
Take a chance
My lonely heart is in your hands
Please dont tell me its the end
And we cant be friends
Youre slipping away
Youre slipping away
If you ever change your mind
Oh Ill give you time
Youre slipping away
Day after day
Youre like a candle in the wind
Why dont you stay
(* repeat)
Take a chance and dont be cruel
Oh Im waiting just for you
Take a chance and take my soul
Take a chance, oh baby
We should lose control

What's Wrong With That

How did i end up here
Closer to no where
In the middle of nothing
And i hide one step back from where i was
Spinning in circles gets old after a while
You say if i fall i will fall straight in to your arms
Should i trip over my feet
And if i start to slip i will slip right onto my knees
In to the center of your hands
Because maybe some day
I can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
Why do i have to know everything
And why does everything always have to make since
Why do i always have to have you figured out
Cause i just want to take your hand
Cause you say if i fall i will fall straight in to your arms
Should i trip over my feet
And if i start to slip i will slip right onto my knees
In to the center of your hands
Because maybe some day
I can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
What's wrong with that x 3
Maybe someday i can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
What's wrong with that x 2

The Weight Of The Wind

(pal waaktaar)
Your face looked new against the town
Youve come to lose some memories
Like you Ive come to touch new grounds
You want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
Bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be find
You speak into the falling rain
Words youd lost, but found again
You see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind
Youve got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

Babes In Arms

You got your hands in my pockets
Youre whisperin lies in my ear
Such promiscuous intentions
Dont mistake me for someone who cares
There were times I fooled myself, yeah
Thinkin I was someone else
Hard days, cold nights
Nothin that I could do, yeah
Lovers are babes in arms (babes in arms)
Yes its true, thats right, true, yes its true, ooh
Such a restless condition
The way youre turnin it on
Love em, tease em, for all the wrong reasons
You know youre such a bore
There were times I told myself (myself)
There was really no one else
Hard days, cold nights
Nothin that I can do, ooh
Lovers are babes in arms (babes in arms)
Yes its true, its true baby, true, yes its true, look out
Is it some kind of shakedown
You know I really dont care
But you push it too hard, girl, yeah
You know its just not fair
There were times I fooled myself
Thinkin there was no one else
Hard days, cold nights
Theres nothin that I could do, ooh
Lovers are babes in arms (babes in arms)
Yes its true, true, come on, come on, come on
Hard days, cold nights

Slipping Away

I'm slipping away
In every way
I can't stay awake
(and I don't know why)
I'm slipping away
(and I don't know why)
I'm trying to make it through each day
I'm falling apart now in every way
I'm finding harder to get by
There's a hole in my heart
and I don't know why
now I've come to realize
I'm slipping away
