Forgive Her Anything
(written by elvis costello, transcribed by craig ciccone w/ bolans corrections)
Oh, a tv went off like three day old milk
That shook this town down better than most
And it always was less of idea and more of a boast
Oh, youre burning in the bloom of life
til youre powder in the grave
Or youre pounding in the counter beggin for more
til you evaporate
Youd forgive her anything
If you look like you, my pretty miss
I wonder where you are tonight
And this place becomes pityless
Oh, I couldnt sleep, but I cant complain
Oh, this wont hurt a bit, oh, this wont hurt again
When the roof comes down and the walls move in
Oh, he didnt know it could feel like that
And your face turned away and the day turned black
And the rain fell like a curtain
Oh, its my turn to begin
To forgive her anything
Youd forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
Youd forgive her anything
So where did all my pride go?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, youd forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
Youd forgive her anything
So where did all my pride go?

Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk
That shook this town down better than most
And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast
Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life
Till you're powder in the grave
Or you're pounding in the counter begging for more
Till you evaporate
You'd forgive her anything
If you look like you, my pretty miss
I wonder where you are tonight
And this place becomes pitiless?
Oh, I couldn't sleep, but I can't complain
Oh, this won't hurt a bit, oh, this won't hurt again

The Other Man
(ian hunter)
I forgive you when you cant look straight into my eye
I forgive you when you never want to hold my hand
I forgive you cause youre all Ive got and I love you
But Ill never forgive the other man
I forgive you even though I know the secret you keep
I forgive you even though you dont give a damn
I forgive you cause deep inside youre part of me
But Ill never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night hes calling
And somewhere in your heart youre falling
Ill forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
Ill forgive you even though Ill never understand
Ill forgive you cause youre all Ive got and I love you
But Ill never forgive the other man
Somewhere in the night hes calling
And somewhere in your heart youre falling
Ill forgive you when you stay out late and you never phone
Ill forgive you even though Ill never understand
Ill forgive you cause youre all Ive got and I love you
But Ill never forgive the other man
No, Ill never forgive as long as I live
No, Ill never forgive the other man
I said Ill never never never forgive
No, Ill never forgive the other man

Jos Lament
(rod stewart)
I stayed away so long jo
Dont think that I could come back
Youre doin so well without me girl
Youd laugh if youd knowd where Im at
You knew me when it was all my world
Somehow its all passed me by
But dont let on to my friends jo dear
That things aint turned out as planned
You bore my child then I left you aside
I dont expect you to forgive
But jo I can say in a funny old way
I was sure that I had it made
I still possess a photograph
My memory to refresh
But fade it may jo I can say
I was sure that I had it made
You bore my child then I left you aside
I dont expect you to forgive
But now Im not so young and Im so afraid
To sleep alone for the rest of my days

Sonnet: Forgive Them God, Lord
Forgive them God, they know not what they do;
Forgive them Lord, they know not what they say;
Forgive them God, they are my siblings too;
Forgive them Lord, they seem just bad today!
Forgive them God, they were all born with me;
Forgive them Lord, they suffered really;
Forgive them God; they were so good truly;
Forgive them Lord, they have done their duty!
Forgive them God, the tempter has them prey;
Forgive them Lord, they were so sad most days;
Federal been God and send your guardian fay;
Forgive them Lord, they have innocent face!
Forgive them God; I’ll pray for them instead;
Forgive them Lord; better You strike me dead!

Forgive My Heart
Nat king cole
Capitol record
Forgive my heart
My foolish heart it wont believe were through
Forgive my heart
Youre still a part of everything I do
Forgive my lips
If now and then
They speak your name
If you are still
My only thrill
Am I to blame
Forgive my dreams
In all my dreams it seems your face appears
Forgive my eyes
I realize Im only wasting tears
Dont know why you haunt me
But you do
Forgive my heart
Im still in love with you

We the unforgiving
and we’ll never quite forgive our parents
for being our parents
and we’ll never never forgive that one
we thought our best friend
for stopping being our friend without
an explanation or anything
and we’ll never ever forgive our first lover
our first for heaven’s sake
for dumping us and ruining our whole life
and we'll never quite forgive -
no, let's not go there; that's
too close to home...
and we’ll never forgive God for,
oh everything, if we knew
how to not forgive God
and secretly we’ll never forgive ourselves
for all the things we wish we hadn’t done
although of course we deserve to be forgiven
for it wasn’t really our fault was it..
how could we forgive ourselves, when there’s that
that dark figure lurking behind us saying
don’t you dare forgive yourself,
you ungrateful little…
and if you forgave everyone, you wouldn’t
know who you were… it’s not
as easy as that, oh no
oh yes it is. oh yes it is.

Still
Still
Verse:
When I sleep
I have dreams about the way we used to kiss
About the way you used to hold me
And say nothin would ever harm me
When we first met
Oh how you charmed me
Made me smile when I was down
Big pimpin around the town
You and me
Whenever theyd see you
Theyd see me
A lover and a friend to me you were
How did it end
How it hurts
To not have you in my life
When I wont even be alright
Bridge:
You never know what you have
Till its gone
Treated you wrong
For so long
Now youre gone away
But the love still is here
Chorus:
Still...
I still got love for you
Still...
After what we been through
Still...
I gave my heart to you
And baby youre the only one
Theres never men like you
Still...
That can come close to you
Still..
Once I said I love you
I knew youd be the only one
Verse 2:
A good man you were to me
Always there to care
Would do anything in this world for me
Didnt matter, what, when, or where
You were there
I never thought wed part from the arguments wed start
When I just wanted to get some attention
And Im sorry baby for bitchin
If I could take back the words
That I said to make you leave
Id be down on bended knees
Thats when youd take me
Forgive me
Bridge:
You never know what you have
Till its gone
Treated you wrong
For so long
Now youre gone away
But the love still is here
Chorus
Bridge 2:
All of the good times we had together (together)
Do they mean somethin to you
Do you ever wish we never split (never)
Still got love for you...

Can I Forgive Him
Esmeralda
I am esmeralda agrn, se? ora.
I know Ive no right to speak.
My son is not the savage boy you see,
The cape, the sneer, the slicked-back hair
It hides the child I nursed and bathed, se? ora.
Please dont turn your eyes from me
Your son, gone to god, and mine to blame
My fated son,
He too is gone
The state will see to that, I am sure, se? ora
The state will see to that, I am sure.
1st mother
You spanish people, you come to this country
Nothing here changes your lives
Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity
When all of your answers are knives
This city makes a cartoon of a crime
Capes and umbrellas the glorification of slime
I have to face this horror, se? ora.
2nd mother
My religion
Asks me to pray for the murderers soul
But I think youd have to be
Jesus on the cross
To open your heart after such a loss
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him?
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Friends become strangers
Compassion is hard to express in words
The trembling flowers they bring
Fear in the roots and the stem
What happened to me they know could happen to them.
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No
Esmeralda
Only God can say forgive
His son too received a knife
But we go on, we have to live
With this cross we call our life
1st mother
Feels like a bomb fell
And wave after wave come the aftershocks
2nd mother
You cant believe that its true
There must be some mistake
You drift through this nightmare from which you cant wake
Both mothers
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him,
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot.

Baby please forgive me
I don’t know what to do

In my heart you’re the one

You’re the one in my heart

If Youd Ever Needed Someone
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know somethings missing
But I cant begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where Im goin wrong
Cos lately Ive been thinking
Maybe Ive been round here too long
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If youd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I cant help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before Im missing your tender touch?
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If youd ever needed someone
If youd put yourself in my place
You could never say whats gone is gone
If youd ever needed someone

Forgiveness
How can one forgive?
If you cant say it with meaning
To the one that hurt you first
How can one move on
If you can't say I forgive you
Straight from the heart
If anything I have learnt
Is to forgive from the heart
If you don't meant it
Don't say it
If you cant keep to it
Don't bother moving on
Until you forgive
With every fiber of your being
You can and will move on
In your great and wonderful life

Thats How I Feel
(released as b-side of hang in long enough cd single, 1990)
Well Ive been waiting so long
Ive been waiting so patiently
Out of the blue you call
Youre leaving him to be with me now
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
He doesnt treat you good
He doesnt say the things that I say
So when he turns around
Youre gonna stab him in the back and then walk away
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Youve been away too long
And now youre coming home
But I wont believe it until
Im holding you tight, tight, tight tonight
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Thats how I feel when Im in your arms
(thats how I feel when Im with you) ooh, yeah
Thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Thats how I feel when Im with you

Ill Do Anything/ Im Sorry

Trying to stay one without you here in my life
I dont want to accept the fact that youre no longer mine
Just to know that somebody else is holding and kissing you
It makes a guy like me feel like Im a fool.......so
Chorus: Ill do anything, anything you want thats my word its bond baby I was
Wrong please forgive me for what Ive done Im sorry Ill do
Anything,anything you want thats my word its bond baby I was wrong please

I realize its to late now youve gone away
Is there something that I can do to reassure
That I wont hurt you like this anymore....so
Chorus
Im begging you Im begging me
Ill do anything, thats my word is bond, please forgive me, Im sorry
Cant you tell by the look in my eyes
Ill do anything, thats my word is bond, please forgive me, Im sorry

Father Sun
Strange imaginations, children hide your secrets well
Is it not temptation, makes you kiss and makes you tell?
Theres a traveler on the airwaves, and hes pleading for my heart
Light up all the candles, Im still in the dark
Hurry operator, get redemption on the line
Pull back the curtains, I think I recognize those eyes
If love is so criminal, then my penance due
cause Im still holding onto letters written straight to you
Oh, wont you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that youre the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun
I swore I needed you in the back of my mind
Laid the beads upon the table, right beside the wine
It seems that we say forever, but forevers just a word
And I will be coming back for you is all I heard
Oh, wont you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that youre the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun
Please dont forget me, father sun, father sun
I think I hear him whispering
Put your hand in my hand and you wont feel a thing
Oh, wont you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that youre the only one
Oh, please forgive me, father sun, father sun
Oh wont you save me, father sun, father sun
I need to tell you that my life is on the run
And now you know that youre the only one
Oh wont you save me, father sun, father sun
Oh wont you save me, father sun, father sun
Oh wont you save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, father sun

Try Again
Written by ricki & kim wilde
I cant see your face
Hear the excuses for
The mistakes that you make
Ive heard all your lies
I dont know how much I can take
Before I break
Ive tried to be so strong
While you broke the promises
All the vows that we made
We know somethings wrong
But we carry on anyway
Day by day
Youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
How can we forget
The sweetness of yesterday
We just cant let it go
Lost in bitterness
Im losing my self control
And my soul
Cos youll be the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my mind
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Oh why, why do we hurt each other more
When theres a way
Cos we never really found
What we were looking for
Can we try again
Cos youre the one who let me down
And now I find it hard to forgive
In my heart
But Ill try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
Ill try again
Though you hurt me I know
I cant let you go
Ooh, Ill try again

Slow Down
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont try to tell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Youll never sell me

You know before it gets too late

If You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone elses clothes
Youre always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say lets go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me youve
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how youre so free
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
It aint easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day
Youre saying that youre all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you never figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddys knee
Oh how happy you would be
If you belonged to me
The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose
You look so sad, youre going so mad, any fool can see
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

Heart On The Wing
My heart is on the wing tonight
Slowly fading away
I hear my brothers scream down there
But no longer I can stay
Ain't anybody there to pray
For a spirit on it's way
Does anybody care who pays
For the blossoms that we break?
A burning heart is on the wing tonight
It's drifting home and may forgive our pride
The right is on your side you say
While you crush what we have found
You say you turned your pride away
While you burn a sacred ground
You're standing on a hill to preach
A love you'd never share
But you don't know a thing, for life
Only one may take away
A burning heart is on the wing tonight
It's drifting home and may forgive our pride
(Home...
a burning heart drifting home...
forgive our pride...)
No matter what you say
No right is on your side
I hope some day you'll break
The blossom of your pride

My Lord
Forgive me, my Lord.
As I part from this womb.
Forgive me, my Lord.
As I plunge into doom.
Forgive me, my Lord.
I'm ashamed of my birth.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Punish me with a curse.
Forgive me, my Lord.
I do promise to praise.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Hear me hail your name.
Forgive me, my Lord.
I won't attain what I've yearned.
Absolve me, my Lord.
Cleanse this sin of being born.

When Youre Alone
Times were tough love was not enough
So you said sorry johnny Im gone gone gone
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing honey
So you let out on your own
Now that pretty form that youve got baby
Will make sure you get along
But youre gonna find our someday honey
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone you aint nothing but alone
Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city
And I fought to makeem my home
With just the shirt on my back I left and swore Id never look back
And man I was gone gone gone
But theres things thatll knock you down you dont even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
Youre gonna find out that day sugar
When youre alone...
I knew some day your runnin would be through
And youd think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
Youd forget all the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had
And youd wanna come home
Now it aint hard feelings or nothin sugar
That aint whats got me singing this song
Its just nobody knows baby where love goes
But when it goes its gone gone
When youre alone...
