Crown Of Scars
Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
cause youve already won
Forget the pain and the tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of whats been left behind
cause you have got a long a long way to run
But now you dance the rest of the way
And you dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Chorus: now you fly away
And you dont look down now
And you laugh till you cant laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice that you know you know you should not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through
Chorus
And now you laugh
And your tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothings ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good
But now you dance the rest of the way
You dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise

Laugh To Keep From Crying
I cant lock my door
Oh, I dont have no privacy
The only thing thats mine
Is whats inside of me
When Ive had enough
A little voice inside
It says youve got to be tough
Youve got to take it in stride
Sometimes I am foolish
I let it get the best of me
At least I know that my mistakes
Are my responsibility
And
Chorus:
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I dont have a dime
Oh, to buy those pretty things
But I hear all the evidence
You know it all sounds the same
But Im still waiting
Ive got my hands open wide
You know my dream isnt fading
I keep it hidden inside
Oh
(chorus)
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I keep on trying
My friends dont understand
Oh, they think Ive lost my mind
And Im choking back the tears
Ive got to swallow my pride
(chorus)
I just have to laugh, ah
La, ah
Lo, oh
La, ah

Dont Let Me Down
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I cant believe that youre still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but Im comin round
The scars are still fragile
Dont let me down
Chorus:
So dont blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
Dont blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
(dont let me down) x3
Time after time
Its just too much to take
Ive waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Dont let me down
(dont let me down)

Dont Forget To Dance
You look out of your window,
Into the night.
Could be rain, could be snow,
But it cant feel as cold as youre feeling inside.
And all of you friends are either married, vanished,
Or just left alone.
But thats no reason to just stop living.
Thats no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to smile.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
cause darling, darling,
I bet you danced a good one in your time.
And if this were a party
Id really make sure the next one would be mine.
Yes, you with the broken heart.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to smile.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you.
A nice bit of old,
Just goes to show what you can achieve
With the right attitude.
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another,
And you give them the eye
Even that you know that you could be their mother.
You do the thing you love the most.
What separates you from the rest,
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance,
I say that you dance real close.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to dance.

Dont Wanna
Dont want to talk, dont want to walk
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to kick, dont want to scream
Dont want to sleep, dont want to dream
Just want to sit, just want to stare
Do what you want I dont care
Wait for the phone, wait for the ring
Dont want to do anything
Chorus
Dont want to work, dont want to play
Just sit around everyday
Dont want to dance, dont want to sing
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to laugh, dont want to cry
Just want to sit and wonder why
Its just too much without your touch
Dont want to do anything

What Good Am I?
What good am I if Im like all the rest
If I just turn away when I see how youre dressed
If I shut myself off so I cant hear you cry
What good am i
What good am I if I know and dont do
If I see and dont say, if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunder in the sky
What good am i
What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who dont try
What good am i
What good am I then to others and me
If Ive had every chance and yet still fail to see
If my hands are tied, must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why, and where must I have been
What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back when you silently die
What good am i

Between A Laugh & A Tear
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
And your adolescent dreams are gone
Through the days you feel a little used up
And you dont know where your energys gone wrong
Its just your soul feelin a little downhearted
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
You count your friends all on one finger
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Chorus:
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And thats as good as it can get for us
And there aint no reason to stop tryin
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
You see through everything and nothin seems worthwhile
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
And it dont seem to mean anything to you now
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Dont be discouraged by the future forget the past
Thats old advise but itll be good to you
I know theres a balance see it when I swing past
Chorus:
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And thats as good as it can get for us
And there aint no reason to stop tryin
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And thats as good as it can get for us
And there aint no reason to stop tryin
When paradise can no longer amuse you.....

It Only Makes Me Laugh
I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
Every time I think Im falling
And theres nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire
I try to jump over but theres no way
The next thing I know, Im going down
(chorus)
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I dont give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
The last time that I fell in love
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour
The woman became a monster
And everyone I knew had become a stranger
And the room went black and my luck was spent
The floor opened up, down I went
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
Coming right back
Coming right back
cause you cant keep me down
Cant keep me down
Oh, in the ground
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
I dont mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh yeah
Whoa...
Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didnt know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldnt find a way to escape
The only way to go was straight down
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long...
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face
I dont know why I feel this way...

So Long, Marianne
Come over to the window, my little darling,
Id like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home.
Chorus: so long marianne, its time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Well, you know that I love to live with you,
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angel
And then the angels forget to pray for us.
Chorus
We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark.
Chorus
Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Chorus
For now I need your hidden love
Im cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave.
Chorus
O you are really such a pretty one
I see youve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain.

Don't Cry Little Angel
Don't cry little angel,
Your heart is in good hands.
You'll go the distance,
You'll travel distant lands.
Don't worry little angel,
Your tears will soon disappear.
You'll kill the pain and stand
With out fear.
Don't run little angel,
I won't let you down.
With my caress, and all the faith,
You'll forget how to frown.
Keep standing little angel,
Because I won't let you fall.
Believe it, I was there with
Just one call.
Don't hide little angel,
There's no need to conceal.
Don't fear what your thinking,
Don't fear what you feel.
Just sing little angel,
Let heaven hear the voice it made.
Your melody is strong,
Your harmony won't fade.
You can laugh little angel,
You just don't forget.
Laughing heals the soul,
No one's proven me wrong yet.
So smile little angel,
Release your beauty from within.
Destroy the past,
Let the future begin.
So don't cry little angel,
Because you can already see.
You can always and forever,
Forever count on me.

Please Let Me Please You
(hicks / clarke)
What did you do today
You turned the other way
I tried to kiss you,
But you laughed in my face
Its a thing to do
Knowing that I love you
Dont be to hasty;
The tables will turn
Please, please, please,
Let me please you
Please let me please you
Please let me, louise
Please, please, please,
Let me please you
Please let me please you
Please let me, louise
Why are you different now
Did I hurt you somehow
If so, then tell me,
But dont laugh in my face
If I said something strong,
Ill admit I was wrong
Come on and tell me,
But dont laugh in my face
Chorus
I always treat you right
Why do you wanna fight
Go if you want to,
But dont laugh in my face
If I try kissing you,
Dont make me out a fool
Come and tell me,
But dont laugh in my face

Have You Ever Loved Somebody
(hicks / clarke / nash)
You say that you want me and now that youve got me youre gone
Think what youre doin or else youll regret what youve done
Dont come back tomorrow and say what we did wasnt right
Youll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night
Have you ever loved somebody
Dont you know just what its like
Hurting someone that youre close to
Have you ever loved all night all night
Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and Ill be twice shy
Its no use me crying there is no denying its right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight
Chorus
If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry Ill sympathize with you
If you laugh Ill die
If you laugh Ill die

Running From An Angel
Dont look a gift horse in the mouth
Come on try and tell me what youre talkin about
Those things youre dealing with, youre living a lie
Every time I see you it makes me wanna cry
Sometimes wed laugh and talk, seems like yesterday
Then you let the white horse come and take you away
They came to get you, it was cold and black
The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back
Chorus:
Running from and angel, runnin to the devil
I looked up to you a long time ago
But theres something I want you to know
Your lying and cheating really tore us apart
Please dont come home if youre gonna break my mommas heart

Dont You Look At Me Like That
I still dream of you wakin up, openin your eyes
Like a little girl I once knew
Walkin to the window, lookin down on the street
You walk with me, and I walk with you
Well I thought it all over, it doesnt make any sense
Why did it fall apart, when it seemed so innocent?
You and I were like a light from a fallen star
You cant go back, you cant run away from your heart
Chorus:
Dont you look at me like that, cause I fall all over again
And I just cant hold on to your love anymore
Dont you look at me like that, cause I start all over again
And it just cant be, like it was once before
Dont stand there in the rain, lookin like some long lost angel
You and I were like a light from a fallen star
You cant go back, you cant run away from your heart
Dont stand there in the rain, lookin like some long lost angel
(no, I never could turn away from you)

I Could Be Good For You
On a warm summer evening
Im dancin to the radio alone
Dont need no conversation
Just want a new love to call all my own
Throw the window open
Let the breeze take me away
Ya see I gotta lose all this ol heartache
Before the sun comes round back to stay
I been doin my best to forget you
But I cant do it on my own
Chorus
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
Close my eyes make believe hes you
I need to dance with a stranger
Take my hurt away
Before Im over you
Hear the city hummin
Grab my shoes and go downtown
Wont need no invitation
Just to hear the sweet sweet sound
And I dont want no man to ask me
Where you been all y lonlely life
Just wanna move real slow
And have somebody hold me tight
Ive been doin my best to forget you
But I cant do it on my own

I hear the heart is a lonely hunter
And I believe it to be true
But this heart is learning to forget
I ever fell in love with you

Take Your Medicine
Walk with my eyes closed
I bump my head
Look at the stars falling on the ground
Saw someone crawling underneath my bed
Looked in the mirror caught my reflection, said oh...
Just take your medicine
Just take your medicine
And dont complain if it dont taste good
Just take your medicine
Just take your medicine
If it dont do the trick then I know what will
Open the paper
Eat ham and eggs
Java in a cup
Middle of the front page
I saw a man with a gun
Pointing at his head
Eyes in the camera
I can almost hear him say, oh...
Just take your medicine
Just take your medicine
And dont complain if it dont taste good
Just take your medicine
Just take your medicine
If it dont kill ya first then I know what will
I met an angel
Come from above
I buy her everything
Could this be love?
She gives me sweet dreams and nightmares too
Early in the morning she whispers in my ear, oh...

Dont Walk Away
Dont walk away
See I just cant find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so youll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray
Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But its been so long now all I do is cry
Cant we find some love to take this away
cause the pain gets stronger every day
Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
See now why
All my dreams been broken
I dont know where were going
Everything we said and all we done now
Dont let go, I dont wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Dont know where were going
Everything begins to set us free
Cant you see, I dont wanna walk away
If you go, I wont forget you girl
Cant you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
Theres nothing left to do
Dont walk away

Lay Down Sally
By eric clapton, marcy levy and george terry
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know youve got somewhere to go,
But wont you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.
Lay down, sally, and rest you in my arms.
Dont you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, sally, no need to leave so soon.
Ive been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun aint nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. wont you stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.

I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So dont you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And dont you ever leave.

Freedom
Every day I hear a different story
People say that youre no good for me
Sow you lover with another
Shes making a fool of you
If you loved me baby, youd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me Im a baby and I dont understand
But you know that Ill forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
As long as were together
And you do
Chorus:
I dont want your freedom
I dont want to play around
I dont want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I dont want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I cant escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
(oh oh ...)
You take my hand and tell me Im a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby
Someone says the same to you
But you know that Ill forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as were together
And you do

Youre hurting me, baby
Youre hurting me, baby

Maybe some day
I need never be alone

But youll never be the one
Ive been walking alone
For a long long, long time
I dont wanna hang out now
With the folks that just dont mind
While you party
Youve been looking
But your searching never ends
Youve been saying
With the wrong crowd
Youve got all the right friends

Bartenders Blues
Now Im just a bartender
And I dont like my work
But I dont mind the money at all
I see lots of sad faces
And lots of bad cases
Of folks with their backs to the wall
Chorus:
But I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going a-stray
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
I can light up your smokes
I can laugh at your jokes
I can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close down this bar
I can gas up my car
I can pack up and mail in my key

Now, the smoke fills the air
In this honky-tonk bar
And Im thinking bout where Id rather be
But I burned all my bridges
I sank all my ships
And Im stranded at the edge of the sea
