Everybody Wants To Know
I heard you whisper on the train
You werent as free as youd been lately
Before we walk this way again
I could tell you stories that changed me
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
I heard you whisper in the trees
You werent as free as you could have been lately
Before we wonder one of these
I could tell you stories that saved me
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody want a family and a fancy house
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
So lets sit at home and count the stars and think it out
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
And even when it rains
Love protects you
Call her secret name
And dont forget you
Want a world you cant explain
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Nobody wants to feel theyre being left out
Not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
Everybody wants to know what love is all about
So lets sit at home and count the cars and laugh it out
cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
Dont forget you
Want a world you cant explain

I Want Out
I want out
(m&l - hansen)
From all lives beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach us what to think
But everyone says different things
But theyre all convinced that
Theyre the ones to see
So they keep talking and they never stop
And at certains point you give it up
So the only thing thats left to think is this
I want out... to live my life alone
I want out... leave me be
I want out... to do things on my own
I want out... to live my life and to be free
People tell me a and b
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
Theyre pushing me from black to white
Theyre pushingtil theres nothing more to hear
But dont push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
cause I decide the way things gonna be
I want out... to live my life alone
I want out... leave me be
I want out... to do things on my own
I want out... to live my life and to be free
Theres a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone
I want out... to live my life alone
I want out... leave me be
I want out... to do things on my own
I want out... to live my life and to be free

Kashka From Baghdad
Kashka from baghdad
Lives in sin, they say,
With another man,
But no one knows who.
Old friends never call there.
Some wonder if lifes
Inside at all--
If theres life inside at all.
But we know the lady who rents the room.
She catches them calling a la lune.
At night
Theyre seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy.
They never go for walks.
Maybe its because
The moons not bright enough.
Theres light in love, you see.
I watch their shadows,
Tall and slim,
In the window opposite.
I long to be with them.
cause when all the alley-cats come out,
You can hear music from kashkas house.
At night
Theyre seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy.
Watching every night.*
Dont you know theyre seen?
Wont you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
Watching every night.
Dont you know theyre seen?
Wont you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
Watching every night.
Dont you know theyre seen?
Wont you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
Watching every night.
Dont you know theyre seen?
Wont you let me laugh?

To think that

so far for me
to lean on
to say things
aren't okay
i miss the house
not of my own
the family there
that thought
themselves wierd
if wierd is
what you call it
then take me into it
i dont care if
im looked down upon
because i wish i had
a family like hers
but this computer

is now all that i own
with my family located
on my AIM list
I feel lonely

Because thats
the sort of
loser

Long Black Limousine
(words & music by v. stovall - b. george)
Theres a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea
Theyre all rich friends who knew you in the scene
And now theyve finally brought you
Brought you home to me
When you left you know you told me
That some day youd be returnin
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea,
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yea
Youre ridin in a long black limousine
You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didnt see
When youre riding in that long black limousine
Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well I never, I never, never, never
Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, theyre with you
In that long black limousine
Yea, yea, theyre with you in that long black limousine
Yea, yea, theyre with you in that long black limousine

Through The Barricades
Mother doesnt know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeeling strong
See it in her face, thats turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what theyre saying
When the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now thats torn in two
And now I know what theyre saying
In the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when Im asleep
Well cross the line
And dance upon the street
And now I know what theyre saying
When the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and Ill be there
Theres a scar through my heart
But Ill bare it again
I thought? we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That theres always one escape
I dont know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
Theres everything to go
And now I know what theyre are saying
Its a terrible beauty weve made
So we make our love on? wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what theyre are saying
As hearts go to their graves
We made our love on? wasteland
And through the barricades.

Animals
Im mad...and thats a fact
I found out...animals dont help
Animal think...theyre pretty smart
Shit on the ground...see in the dark.
They wander around like a crazy dog
Make a mistake in the parking lot
Always bumping into things
Always let you down down down down.
Theyre never there when you need them
They never come when you call them
Theyre never there when you need them
The nevere come when you call them down down down down.
I know the animals...are laughing at us
They dont even know...what a joke is
I wont follow...animals advice
I dont care...if theyre laughing at us.
Theyre never there when you need them
They never come when you call them
Theyre never there when you need them
The nevere come when you call them down down down down.
They say they dont need money
Theyre lvinign on nuts and berries
They say animals dont worry
You know animals are hairy?
They think they know whats best
Theyre making a fool of us
They ought to be more careful
Theyre setting a bad example
They have untroubled lives
They think everythings nice
They like to laugh at people
Theyre setting a bad example
(go ahead) laugh at me.

Hi-Speed Soul
Do you ever feel like you just landed
On this earth?
You see the creatures all do their dances
Back and forth
You get restless and then you join them
On the floor
Suddenly it is tomorrow
Its not today anymore
Its not today anymore
You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
Theyre playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?
Dyou ever feel like what we call real life
Is not so real?
Tripping up on the same old problems
You had last year
Well well pretend its another planet
Not so uptight
The stars are shining above the city
Every night
They come every night
You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
Theyre playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?
Where are we going?
I dont care.
Our friends all left
Lets go anywhere.
Its getting late
I dont care.
Its just you and me
Lets go anywhere.

Dirty Laundry
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry
You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

Choked Up
I dont know why we cant talk
Every time we try we get choked up
Running with the feelings that get caught in our head
til I cant remember what it was we said
All my friends say Im in love
is this what I think theyre thinking of?
I dont know why we cant win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the end of the month
Not able to buy the things I want
All my friends say Im in love
Is this what I think theyre thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I dont even know they wouldnt understand
Taint myself with thoughts of leaving
Running out of things left to believe in
Running out of money and time
Running out of money and time
You wont be mine
I dont know why we cant win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the ned of the month
Not able to buy the things I want
All my friends say Im in love
Is this what I think theyre thinking of?

Controller
Theres someone knockin on my door
Theres someone knockin on my door
I think theyre looking for me
I think theyre looking for me
Pretend there aint nobody home
Dont make a sound, dont even move
Dont give them nothing to see
I think theyre looking for me
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
Theres someone crawling in my yard
Theres someone creeping on my roof
Theres someone tapping my phone
I feel it deep in my bones
They want to probe my intuition
They want to find out what I know
Why dont they leave me alone
Why dont they leave me alone
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
Might be the catcher
Or the controller
Cant be too careful
I take precautions
Theyre very clever
I got to run
Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
(repeat first verse)

Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
Its a strange thing
Deadly reason
Razors cut with such precision
Probing deep without detection
Razors never lie
But its all right

I think theyre looking for me
I think theyre looking for me
I think theyre looking for meeeeeeeeeee

True To Myself
Life has come a long way since yester day (I say)
And its not the same old thing over again (I say)
Just do what you feel and dont you fool yourself (I say)
Cause I cant make you happy unless I am (I say, I say)
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
Theyre in theyre out, Ive asked many questions (I say)
Only to find the truth it never changes (I say)
If you dont deal with it, it keeps killing you a little by little
Call me selfish if you will, my life I alone I can live (I say, I say)
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
I dont care if it hurts
Im tired of playing all these games
Ive reached a point in life
Hey, no longer can I be this way
Dont come crying to me
I too have shed my share of tears
Im moving on, yes Im grooving on
Hey, well Im finally free

Ive got to be true to myself (x8)

Poor House
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman Ive tried so hard
Just to do my best
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And youll take all the rest
Up all day, down all night
Working on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up [..]
Woman I try so hard
Done all I can do.
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
Keep all the best for you.
Ooh, in the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Will you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door
Woman, Ive done my best
Theyre aint much left for me
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And throw away the key (in the poor house)
Ooh, in the poor house
You walked in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman Ive tried so hard
Just to do my best
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And youll take all the rest

Goin Home
Midnight on a southern highway
Dont know if Im going the right way
I havent seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since Ive seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
Ive got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
Im drivin as fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waitin there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
Youre the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
Im a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
Ive got to follow these dreams inside my heart
Im not looking for a fight
No ones wrong and no ones right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
Im doin the best that I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin home
And I hope that its still waitin there for me
Solo
I thought youd might understand
Im drivinas fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waiting there for me
Going home
Going home

Losing Touch
Here I am
Shooting for the sky
You say youve settled in
Yeah well I guess thats good for you
But Im still trying to tear myself free
Well I could take it or leave it
You know thats what Ive said to myself
But then I start to tremble
And Im lost to a powerless cause
Im losing touch
Sometimes my memories
They just seem to fade fast away
Ive been losing too much
Losing the feel for the dreams I once thought I had
Sometimes I feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on the ground
Than in those grips again
Theyre so cruel
Taught me to fly
Then they stole my sky
Taught me to love
Then they broke me down
Till there was nothing left but emptiness
And dont you ever feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on that ground
Than in those grips again
Well I could take it I could leave it you know hah
Thats what Ive said to myself
Ive been down there so many times you know
And it hurts like nothing else
Cause Im losing touch
Ive been slipping away
Ive been losing too much

So Much Love
(gerry goffin / carole king)
In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely girl
When you said youd stand beside me
Ill never forget you for what youve done
Ill never turn my back on you for anyone
I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, theres more than enough
To last a whole life through, yes
And its all for you
My world was cold and so empty
And my life so unfulfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
You were oh, so willing
Now to you it might seem a little thing
But to me it seemed youd changed my winter to spring
(Ive got so much love)
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, theres more than enough
To last my whole life through, yeah
Its all for you
Theres so few men nowadays
Who understand the soul of a woman
Now theyre always on the take and theyre
Never giving, never offering a helping hand
Oh baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love in so many ways
Im gonna love you for the rest of my days, yeah
I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so such love

Family
When its family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When its family, you accept them, cause you have no choice but to
When its family, theyre a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when its family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when its family
Some are lucky, others aint
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints, its all family
And when its family you trust them and your hearts an open door
When its family, you tolerate what youd kill others for
When its family, you love and hate and take, then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day, in the family
You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, its still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
Not the family that youre in, nah
Theyll be with you til the end, cause its family
And when its family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When its family, theyre a mirror of the worst and best in you
When its family, when its family
Let me be all that I should be to the family

Dont Cry For Me, Argentina
It wont be easy, youll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that Ive done
You wont believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although shes dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen; I had to change
Couldnt stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Dont cry for me, argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Dont keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
Theyre not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Dont cry for me, argentina
Dont cry for me, argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Dont keep your distance
Have I said too much? theres nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
