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

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

Falling Away
And Tonight We Burn Down Everything
We Worked So Hard To Build
The Ashes Will Reign Down On Me
Memories set aflame, Sail Away
What We Said If We Can Make This
Then We Can Break This Into Two Memories
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
And tonight I will be a vessel
with these sails set aflame
let this ocean of our memories
carry me out to sea i will be
fall beneath the crashing waves into my grave
I will sleep
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
If We can make this
then we can break it
if we can build it
then we can burn it down
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again
and now you're farther away
now you're farther away
now you're farther away from me again

The closer you get, the further I fall.
Ill be over the edge now in no time at all.
Im falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall.

The things that you say to me, the look on your face, brings out the man in
Me.

Rain Keeps Fallin
I remember the night so well.
The rain was fallin but I just couldnt tell,
If it was you that was callin to my love-sick brain.
But the rain kept fallin on my window pane.
Out of the night the thunder rang in my ear.
I cant fight the feelin, lord, that brings forth my fears.
I wish it was over, lord, please stop the rain.
The rain thats fallin on my window pane.
The rain thats fallin on my window pane.
Every night the rains on time, I can feel it in this heart of mine.
But I dont know what to do.
Well, I guess I could go back home, cause you know back home is where I belong.
But it just aint home without you.
And I dont know what to do, baby.
Well, I guess Im a looser but it just dont seem fair.
I lost all my life so tell me, why should I care?
The night that you left me is the night that it came.
And the rains still fallin on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain ...
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
... keeps right on fallin.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said, the rain keeps fallin ...

Why They Call It Falling
It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know
There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know
But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down
It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

Junkano Holiday (Fallin' Flyin')
Kenny Loggins
(This Is It)
Lyrics and Music by Kenny Loggins
You
Jumpin' into the street
Singin' and stompin' feet.
Hunkanoo holiday.
We're
Caught in a hurricane
Dancin' in the jungle rain
A junkanoo holiday
Feel it more and more
Spread your wings and start to soar
Over mountain tops,
we're floating free and fallin'-flyin'
Now the winds have changed,
I'm about to blow away
CHORUS
Fallin'-Flyin'
I'm gonna keep me fallin'-flyin'
Fallin'-flyin'
Over and over, fallin'-flyin'
Fallin'-flyin'
I'm gonna keep me Fallin'-flyin'
On
Tumblin' from the ground
Spinnin' me round and around
Junkanoo holiday.
Children
Dancin' in a circle ring
And everybody's happy in
A junkanoo holiday.
When you're letting go
You're an island volcano
You're a summer night
And high above we're Fallin'-flyin'
Now the winds have changed
'N I'm about to blow away
CHORUS
Fallin'-flyin'
I'm gonna keep me fallin'-flyin'
Fallin'-flyin'
Over and over, fallin'-flyin'
Fallin'-flyin'
Everybody here is Fallin'-flyin'
Fallin'-flyin'
On and on I'm Fallin'-flyin'
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Feather-free and floatin' round
Let your sails out in the breeze
Fallin'-Flyin' on with me.
'N when they set us in the middle
Let's just get us lost a little.

Don't hurry by like a highway sign

Do believe i fell in love
Do believe i fell in love

If i make mistakes please forgive me
Oh charlie b don't you run away
Forget your pride i'll tell you that

No worry
Love is the same for all times
Hear with your heart while i tell you
What's on my mind
Do believe i fell in love
Do believe i fell in love
Ooh yeah
Ooh let me love you
Ooh let me kiss you
Baby i'm fallin', your love is a callin'
The night is wasting away
It used to be you, and i knew at
The dawning
Our love would last more than a day
And every single little word is true
I still love you
Do believe it
Do believe that i'm fallin' in love
Do believe it
Do believe that i'm fallin' in love
Do believe it
Do believe that i'm fallin' in love
Do believe it
Do believe that i'm fallin' in love

Loved you
Come rain or shine

Needed you before

Fallin' Again
Thinking of the faces I've seen
Back when I was young and green
I was falling back then
Now I'm workin' on building a fire
And flirtin' with that old desire
And fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again, I'm fallin' again.
Well, you'd think that I would learn by now
To keep from falling somehow
But I'm fallin' again
'Cause when I caught that look in your eyes
That's when I realized
I was fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again.

Fallin
(marvin hamlisch/carole bayer sager)
Im afraid to fly
And I dont know why
Im jealous of the people who
Are not afraid to die
Its just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promised that theyd catch me
And then they let me fall
And now Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
Youd think by now Id learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And thats why I return
Turn and walk away
Thats what I should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says Ive found you
And now Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
Help me Im fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love
(it always turns out the same
When I fall)
Lovin someone, losin myself
Only got me to blame
Help me Im fallin
Fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time Ill have it all
Maybe Ill make it after all
Maybe this time I wont fall
When I fall in love

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

Whoa whoa whoa mama

Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can run
If miles turned to inches
You know that man would roll
All the way around the world tonight
Look at him go
No jumping off the ride
At 30 miles per hour
Iron brains and ball bearings
Give him the power
Whoa whoa take a look
Whoa whoa look at that man
Whoa whoa you can see it
That man is free
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
You got to see him to beleive him
Cant you hear em callin
You got to hear him, theres no fear
In that man
Cant you hear em callin
Hes like a mean molten gold
Cant you hear em callin
Lord, hes got to have his story told
Cant you fear youre fallin
Tounge tip slipn inand out like a lizard
Cant you fear youre fallin

Out of everything that you do to me
For your love Ill do almost everything
And I realize when I look in your eyes

Learning To See
Time after time we
Walk pass the window
But never see the ashes on the ground
Night after night
Watching the sky move
Never feel the earth spinning 'round
I didn't see you fallin'
I couldn't hear you callin'
Born with eyes wide open never learn to see
I never ment to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be
Trying to follow
Every footstep
I feel so lost along the way
Reading the scripture
Straight from the gospel
Never understanding what they say
I didn't see you fallin'
I never heard you' callin'
I've got my eyes wide open
but haven't learned to see
Yeah
I never ment to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be
I just gotta be
