Bell Jar
(d. peterson/v. peterson)
Vicki
She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think shes all the seven wonders of the world
But theres a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar
She dresses in black
cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But shes frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar
She feels so at home
Shes never alone
But shes oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free
Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world
Its complicated
Living in a bell jar
She suffocated
Living in a bell jar

Is There Life Out There
(susan longacre, rick giles)
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now shes not so sure
She thought shed done some living
But now shes just wonderin
What shes living for
Now shes feeling that theres something more
Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasnt done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
Shes done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesnt want to leave
Shes just wonderin
Is there life out there
Shes always lived for tomorrow
Shes never learned how
To live for today
Shes dyin to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
Repeat chorus
Theres a place in the sun that shes never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again
Repeat chorus twice

Living In A World Without Her
My girl could break my heart
And tear my soul apart, but i
Couldnt see myself living in a world
Without her
Shes a tear, shes a scream
Takes me high, but my worst dream
Could I survive living in a world
Without her
As my mother said open the door
I didnt want to be that boy
All my friends told me Id pull through
But all thats said and all thats done
Wont persuade me that Im wrong
I know Id die living in a world
Without her
All my hopes and all my dreams
Rest with her, or so it seems
I never want to see the world
Without her
Shes a saint, shes a clown
Picks me up when Im down
Thered be so much missing from the world
Without her
Tangled up in falling vines
She took my hand, I know shes mine
Pickin up the pieces of the past
Well, I awoke before the dawn
Dreamed wed fought and she had gone
Now I know how it feels
Without her
An empty club, when we first met
Sharing our last cigarette
How could I have lived in a world
Without her
The sweetest girl I ever had
Shes the best, she must be mad
Theres no way I would live in a world
Without her
We walked four miles to get back home
Through the crowds we walked alone
She told me all about her last stand
The sun came up and lit the scene
She looked so fine, so I see
Theres no way Im living in a world
Without her

Out Of Sync
Shes out of sync
And everyone around her
Knows that something is wrong
Shes out of sync
Shes got all the symptoms
Of a girl who skipped a beat
Shes out of sync
A piece of ancient history
Shes a walking mirage
Shes out of sync
She entered through the exit
And never stopped to think
Shes out of sync shes a half step behind
Shes out of luck her body split from her mind
Shes out of orbit shell never connect
Shell run out of time before she accepts shes out of sync
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync
And everybody senses
Theres a distance to keep
Shes out of sync
And totally committed
To living in a dark age
Shes out of sync
Shes constantly undoing
Whats already been done
Shes out of sync
Trapped in a silent movie
And shes on the brink
Shes out of focus
Shes a warp in time
Shes discontinued
A break in the line

When Shes Gone
She has a light and a faith that wont die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Wholl soon start to cry when shes gone.
When shes gone. when shes gone. when shes gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when shes gone.
When shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when well all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world well never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where well sing all our troubles away.
Though shes glad to be with me,
She knows darm well that her next life awaits when shes gone.
Oh, when shes gone.
When shes gone.
When shes gone, shes gone. shes gone.
Shes gone away. shes gone away.
Shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
Oh, no. (when shes gone)
Oh, shes gone.
I know shes gone. (when shes gone)

Que Sera
They call to her from across the street
But they dont know her name
Shes in the wrong place at the wrong time
Whos to blame
She wonders how to change
The life shes living
She wonders if shell ever get away
As far as I can see, the writings on the wall
Theres no return, we live, we learn
The game goes on and on and
Que sera
I like you but I dont
Really want to take you home
Que sera
Its a lonely life
Living on my own
Que sera
Whats it gonna be, whats it gonna be
She left her home when she was seventeen
Simply disappeared in the rain
Those were bad times so it was high time
She knows shed do it again
She wonders how
Shes gonna make a living
She wonders if shell make it through the day
As far as I can see, Ive seen it all before
A lonely girl in a big bad world
The game goes on and on and
Que sera...

Now Shes Gone
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

Clean up the living room
You said youd do the dishes in the sink
Im sick and tired of your childish behavior
Youre always coming home completely soused
Im sick and tired of this shoebox apartment
When are you going to buy me a house?

Not So Usual
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
she's the paint in my picture, of a most unusual world
she can crawl out the frame while shes hanging on the wall
and shes calling my name
shes not so usual, wo
shes most unusual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
she complains when I smoke, but then you do the same to me
shes controlling my brain activity, knowing when i go to sleep
she'll catch you when I'm falling hard
shes so unusual
shes not so usual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes not so hooked on the drugs like I thought that she was
and never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine
and dispite of her bipolar rollercoastering
I think I can trust, she'll keep me singing differently
and its fine cause shes with me now, most all of the time
trying to saving my life, thinking none of her own
and always kissing me goodnight when i just need to be alone
shes so sweet, so discrete, shes exactly what I need
not even make believe
shes not so usual
so unusual
shes not so usual
so unusual
not so usual, and not to practical either
but shes not so mystical, but not to magical either
but shes not so outta control, and not so used to the flow
shes not so usual
nah, shes a natural
ohhh, shes not so usual
shes most unusual
shes so unusual
shes so unusual
shes gonna use me ohhh

Queen Of The Masquerade Ball
She lays her cards out on the table
She always gets what shes going for--and a whole lot more
Got the movers and the shakers
Quaking inside their mohair shoes
After all theres nothing to lose
(chorus)
Cracking that whip
Making her own decisions
Taking no lip
Living with no conditions
Theres only one thing that shes missing
She never tells anybody--shes missing it more and more each night
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light
Chorus
Everythings fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
Shes got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light
Chorus
Everythings fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
Shes got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball

Saving Face
She lives the glamour days.
The Euro-fashion phases.
So set another trap some other way.
Cause shes not biting.
And oh no, shes getting wasted again.
Imagine that.
Hooked on saving faces.
What are you thinking.
What are you doing here.
You pretend youre safe inside.
But I know what no one knows.
Were the same.
Undefined by you.
As youre living through my eyes.
Always living through my eyes.
Shes taking over the game.
And always running away.
Theyve tried to tug her in so many ways.
Shes still inviting.
And oh no shes playing bastard again.
Imagine that.
Hooked on pointed fingers.
Are you breathing.
What are you doing here.
You pretend youre safe inside.
But I know what no one knows.
Were the same.
Undefined by you.
As youre living through my eyes.
You pretend youre safe inside.
But I know what no one knows.
Were the same.
Undefined by you.
As youre living through my eyes.
Cause its a union of androgyny.
That lingers like the plague.
Know its still a question of gender.
Imagine shes pretending that shes hooked on saving faces.
What were you thinking.
What are you doing here.
You pretend youre safe inside.
But I know what no one knows.
Were the same.
Undefined by you.
As youre living through my eyes.
You pretend youre safe inside.
But I know what no one knows.
Were the same.
Undefined by you.

Map Of The World
Watching the people on the street today she couldnt help but smile
Watchin the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin a good time
Asking her out tonight
But shes saving her money for a better life
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Watchin the people on the street today
Such a lonely sight
swore she could see their dreams go by
All cars and stars and buy buy buy
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signs
And it feels a little scary
A little runaway
Letting go of all shes done
And the lights of the city, well theyre all singin
Buy some of this, cmon
But when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyone
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Shell empty the sand from her shoes
In paradise
Sail out across the bay
Shell dance under an island sky
Until the break of day
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Its such a beautiful world
Glistening and magical
Shes got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Colouring-in her life
This is the day she walks
Shes gonna see it all
Shes gonna breathe it all
Paris london new york
Shes gonna see it all

No Name Girl
I got a girl that aint got no home
She aint very fat just skin and bones
She dont cast no shadow because shes so thin
Never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
She never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
The girl I love aint got no name
But I love her just the same
Shes a little peculiar but it aint no sin
She never know where she going but know were shes been
She never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
Never know where she going but she knows were shes been
Instrumental:
Shes six feet tall and got long black hair
Runs around in her sack dress but I dont care
She got great big feet with size number 10
She never know where she going but know were shes been
She never know where she going but know were shes been
Instrumental:
The girl I love aint got no name
But I love her just the same
Shes a little peculiar but it aint no sin

She never knows where she going but she knows were shes been

Giving It All Up For Love
Phil lynott
She comes home at 5:30, and though her clothes are never dirty,
Shell change them just the same. she likes to keep her name.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)
Shes got a tattoo on her tummy, and her mummy plays gin rummy.
You might think thats kind of funny, hey, but shes keeping all the money.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)
Shes got a silver armadillo, underneath her pillow.
Some think its a cupie doll, hey, but they got such crazy minds.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)
Shes giving it all up for love (shes giving it up for love)

Last night I went out disco dancing
Saw a foxy girl out on the floor
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
She came to my table, we both ordered something to drink (something to drink)
Before you know it, what do you think
The music started playin
Oo the music got us so excited
And we had to get up on our feet
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
The place was near closing, I offered to take her home (take her home)
But she was with someone and left me alone
But I still remember
Oo I know I never will forget her
And I hope I get to see her again.
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)

Go Insane

Two kinds of people in this world
Winners... losers
I lost my power in this world
Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Two kinds of trouble in this world
Living... dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumors are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you

Girl Like Mine

Theres a girl in my life
The best little girl that I could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
Shes alright, shes alright
If you want to get a girl thats really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Shes alright, shes alright.
You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There shes standing with a silly grin
But not mine, shell stand in line
If you want to get a girl thats truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause shes alright, shes alright.
You buy your girl a fancy dress
Thats the only way shell look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and shes a gas
Shes alright, shes alright
If you want to get a girl thats really fine

Shes Not Coming Back
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
Monday morning nine a.m.
I missed my bus I mustve overslept again
phoned up work told em I cant go on
Since she left this house is not a home I know
Shes not coming back
Shes not coming back
Shes not coming back
Shes not coming back
All my friends they keep coming around
Well they can ress me up but I wont paint the town
No one elsell do the things shed do
All my fun is up because I know this time for sure
Shes not coming back
-- she didnt have a reason
-- she wanted to be free
-- she told me she was leaving
Monday evenings used to be so easy rollin
Staying home with her
Now this room is like a prison
I cant go nowhere Im nothing without her
Shes not coming back -- no more
Tuesday morning and its not that bad
Well Im smiling now thinking of all the fun we had
And if I see her this is what I will say
Well thanks for asking but as you see Im okay
Shes not coming back
-- she didnt have a reason
-- she wanted to be free
-- she told me she was leaving
She was leaving me
