Far Away Places
(alex kramer / joan whitney)
The springfields
Far away places
With strange sounding names
Far away over the sea
Far away places
With the strange sounding names
Are callin, (callin), callin, (callin) me
Going to china, or maybe siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
Ive been reading about
In a book (in a book)
That I took (that I took)
From a shelf
I start getting restless
Whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get under way
And look for those castles in spain
They call me a dreamer
Well, maybe I am
But I know that Im burning to see
Those far away places
With the strange sounding names
Callin, (callin), callin, (callin) me
Far away, so far away
Far away, so far away

Callin In Sick
Hit my snooze alarm for the 27th time
Just dont feel like goin to work - I think Ill call my boss, then im
Gonna hack and cough and wheeze
Swear Ive got some strange disease
Whats that little twerp gonna say?
Hey
Im callin in sick today
Callin in sick today
I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear watching ernest goes to camp
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my tupperware
Im not busy now anyway
Hey
Im callin in sick today
Callin in sick today
Aint goin to work, no way
Callin in sick today
I can do anything I want to
I am invincible now
Im on fire, baby
Im alive, Im alive, can you hear me, world?
Im alive!
Maybe Ill spend all day staring at the sun
And trying not to squint
Maybe Ill make a huge color tapestry from
My belly button lint
When Im sick of takin abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedoms just seven digits away
Hey
Im callin in sick today
Callin in sick today
Aint goin to work, no way
Callin in sick today

California Callin'
Driving through the night
Tears running down my face
Start to realize all the things that I once had
I promised you the world
That's nothing more than you deserve
It's killing me inside to know I put you through this hell
Take away my heart
It doesn't want to work no more
I never meant to make you cry
California Callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No, I don't, I don't know
I don't know.
No, I don't know
No one on the road
And it feels so cold outside
It's driving me insane to know how much you hurt tonight
Take away my heart it doesn't wanna work no more
I never meant to make you cry
California Callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
I don't know
No, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
And I don't, I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don't know
California callin 20 miles to go
I don't know, no I don't know
Should I turn around or
Should I leave you alone?
No, I don't know.

Shes Callin It Love
(sunny russ)
Everybodys callin it a real big shame
She keeps lettin him treat her that way
Hes older and hes wild
Shes such a pretty child
He must be thinkin bout one thing
But there are stars in her eyes
cause shes thinkin he might
Give her that class ring
Chorus:
Shes got his picture in a frame
A heart untamed
Callin his house three times a day
She thinks its all shell ever dream of
And shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Daddy knows his babys headed for a heartache
And that part of growin up is learnin from mistakes
But he cant let her go
Cause he knows
That boys nothin but bad news
But daddy cant control her
Shes getting older
Theres nothin anyone can do
She might get hurt along the way
But shes gettin older
Theres nothin anyone can do
She might get hurt along the way
But shes gonna find true love someday
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love

Fallin Off The World
Written by dewey bunnell and bill mumy, 1984
Found on perspective.
Each time I call you I feel my heart beat
I want to be there walkin up your street
It doesnt matter how far I travel
Crossin the ocean, the golden gravel
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you (do you believe)
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you
Tomorrows headline, read all about it
They caught the big one and I dont doubt it
Across the country theyre paintin stories
About our failures, about our glories
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you (do you believe)
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you
All of those screams of each other must share in the fight
Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night
Out of the country it seems so easy
To keep believin our dream of fiji
Your image lingers, a faded picture
Your past erased by untold elixir
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you (do you believe)
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you
All of those screams of each other must share in the fight
Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night
Im fallin off the world
Im callin you (do you believe)
Im fallin off the world

Somebody's Callin'
Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
Well the clock on the wall says its midinght,
And my baby still aint home; where, oh, where can she be?
Well, I got a sneakin suspicion, she aint all alone.
What is this sound I hear a hauntin' me?
Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
Well she used to always be there whenever I would call,
Waitin for me patiently.
Now my fingers are calloused over from dialin' this old phone.
I guess she's over getting over me.
Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.

Hot wind, I drink me little wine
Straw hat down across my eyes
Lettin the world go by
Music, it start my toes a tappin
Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin
Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin
Turnin around and round

Got to get back to jamaica

I dont know whether to believe her
But when the wind blow from the sea
My soul start to fly away
She give me charm that will protect me
Necklace with stone from far across the sea
But island magic much too strong
It wont let me go this time
Caribbean current, please take me

Got to get back to jamaica

New Day Callin
Woke today
Hypnotized
A blissful shimmer
Lit my window
Changed my eyes
Changed my mind
A new day callin'
It's what I see when I dream
It's what I feel when I pray
Except I'm redeemed
And this time I'm awake
Like a ringin' bell
That's freedom's spell
A new day callin'
Now nights get cold
And you know that there's gonna be rain
But that's yin and yang, my brother
You can't have one without the other
The morning shines new light
So that I can see
That I never left this road
That brings me sweet, sweet liberty
Like a ringin' bell...
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
Like a ringin' bell...
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
Woke today
Summer phase
All my yesterdays
Behind me
This new color of life
Can't deny it
A new day is callin'
The winter storm blows winds
That won't forgive
But rest your heart on one sure thing
The winter turns to spring
The morning shines new light
So that I can see
That I never left this road
That brings me sweet, sweet liberty
Like a ringin' bell...
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
Like a ringin' bell...
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
The morning shines new light
So that I can see (The morning shines new light_
That I never left this road
That brings me sweet, sweet liberty
Like a ringin' bell... (Like a ringin' bell)
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
Like a ringin' bell...
That's freedom's spell...
A new day callin'
Yeah yeah yeah, can you hear it?
The morning shines new light
So that I can see (So that I can see, yeah)
That I never left this road
That brings me sweet, sweet liberty
Like a ringin' bell... (Like a ringin' bell)
That's freedom's spell... (That's freedom's spell)

Towers Callin
All set ready to go, but little does he know
He aint comin back no more
All set ready to fly into that deep blue sky
Like so many times before
Now the towers callin, theres no reply
And theres nothin they can do
Now the night is fallin before their eyes
Still no ones comin through, callin
Somewhere out in time, God knows whats on his mind
Is there a reason for his doubt
Somehow una ware just like he didnt care
There must be ways of gettin out
Now the towers callin, theres no reply
And theres nothin they can do
Now the night is fallin before their eyes
Still no ones comin through, callin

I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name
(Lee Emerson)
I said goodbye to you this mornin'
With only these words to explain
I said I'd found someone Ilove better
But I still hear your voice call my name
I thought I heard you callin' my name
Funny, I still feel this way.
Your voice seem so close, but I knew
That by now you were many miles away
--- Instrumental ---
I walk through the streets of the city
People passing by think it's so strange
I'm talkin' but there's no one beside me
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you callin' my name
Funny I still feel this way
Your voice seems so close but I knew
That by now you're many miles away
I thought I heard you callin' my name...

Callin Baton Rouge
I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in louisiana
And though Im out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin every hundred miles
Callin baton rouge
A replay of last nights events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin baton rouge
(chorus)
Operator wont you put me on through
I gotta send my love down to baton rouge
Hurry up wont you put her on the line
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time.
Hello samantha dear, I hope youre feelin fine
And it wont be long until Im with you all the time
But until then Ill spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin baton rouge.

I'll Give You My Skin (feat. Michael Stipe)
I'll Give You My Skin" is a song written by both of the girls with
Michael Stipe. I kinda suspect that the lyrics are mostly Stipe.
Anyway, I'm told that it was recorded at the end of 1988, while the
girls were recording their first Epic album. It appears on the "Tame
Yourself" benefit compilation. Go buy it.
I'll Give You My Skin.
Well, you - you can sit in your high chairs
High chairs are for children
You can sit in your high chairs and laugh
I'll give you my best face
I'll give you my freedom
I'll give you my feet and my hands
I'm keeping my eyes
Open, open, open to the field
Hold your dances there
Take the crop
Share the yield
You can join us together
Break us apart
A wound in the skin is a break in the heart
You can coast on your laughter
High shelf your heart
But laughter's for healing, not tearing apart
I'm keeping my eyes
Open to the fields
You can hold your dances there
Take the crop
Share the yield
Not a soul is lost
For collapsing the walls
You can dance in the dust
You can walk it off, walk, walk it off
If you're fallin', you're fallin'
Come callin' to me
Fallin', Fallin'
I'll give you my skin
I will give you my skin
I'm keeping my eyes
Open to the field
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
You can hold your dances here
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
Take the crop, share the yield
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
I'm keeping my eyes
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
Open to the field
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
Hold your dances there
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
Take the crop, share the yield
(If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me)
If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me
If you're fallin, you're fallin', come callin' to me
I will give you my skin

Miss You
Chorus:
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do
Said I been needin' you
I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
and who's been with you
Is you're heart still mine
I want to cry sometimes
I miss you
Verse 1:
Off to college
Yes you ran away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends
Awesome lovers
Did everything for one another
Now you're gone
And I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow
Come back to me
Can you hear me (callin')
Hear me (callin' for you)
For you
(repeat chorus)
Verse 2:
Now I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still care
I don't want to let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life
You got to concentrate
Baby
Come back to me
Can you hear me (callin')
Hear me (callin' for you)
For you
(repeat chorus 2x)
Bridge:
I can't think no more
Since you went away
I don't really feel like talkin'
No one here to love me
Baby do you understand me
I can't do a thing without you

Seven Turns
By the allman brothers band
From seven turns
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
And sometimes, in the darkened night,
You see the crossroad sign.
One way is the mornin light,
You got to make up your mind.
Somebodys callin your name.
Somebodys waiting for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
Thats what its all comin to.
Hey, yeah.
Runnin wild out on the road,
Just like a leaf on the wind.
How in the world could you ever know,
Wed ever meet again?
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
Somebodys callin your name.
Somebodys waitin for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
Thats what its all comin to.
Somebodys callin your name.
Somebodys waitin for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
Thats what its all comin to.
Somebodys callin your name.
Somebodys waitin for you.
Somebodys callin your name.
