My Head Souns Like That
The metal jangles as the key turns
Unlock the door, wipe my feet clean
Oh my head sounds like that
The oil is spitting in the saucepan
I squeeze this sponge and let the cat out
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
The waters dripping in the hallway
The guy next door, he knocks his wall down
Oh my head sounds like that
The knife it scrapes across the burnt brown toast
The freight train rumbles pass my window
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Around the axis we all spin
To determine whats left out and whats left in
Whats left out and whats left in
Whats left out and whats left in
Whos left out and whos left in
Whos left in
The moments come and go like water
I try to hold them but theyre fading
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh

You Cant Put Your Arms Around Whats Already Gone
I saw red, stayed at home
Placed a big pillow over the phone
In this town where Im from
Ive learned two is so much better than one
But you left me alone
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Well, you hurt to the core
You used to kiss like no one had done before
And your taste turned me on
Now you drive me real crazy just by being born
Cos you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
And you cant put your arms around whats already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Took the tram round the bay
Where everyone tells you to have a nice day
And my pride almost broke
When the tears dont fit you, you look like a joke
And you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Cryin eyes gettin worn
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Hey, you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You cant put your arms around whats already gone
Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Its Not A Song
Day turns to night, and I turn into bed.
Cant get to sleep; somethings in my head.
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme.
Why do I fear this time?
Its not a song till it touches your heart.
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Now close your eyes; look into your hand.
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take.
Time will not wait.
Oh, wont you please come dance,
While the songs still playing,
Wont be long till the silence falls.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.

Questions
Whos that man with the potion
Dressed in velvet and gloves
Causing grief and commotion
Talking bout love
Talking bout love
What on earth is he thinking
Where on earth has he been
Why do I feel like Im sinking
What does it mean
What does it mean
Lets walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
Well come to no harm, come to no harm
I once had a coat I was proud of
I wore that coat a long time
Just when the music got loudest
I left it behind
Left it behind
I could pretend that Im dreaming
But one thing I just cant see
Who on earth am I meaning
When I say me
When I say me
Lets walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
Well come to no harm, come to no harm
Whats around the corner
Whats around the bend
Whats around the corner
Whats around the bend
Whats around the corner
Whats around the bend
Whats around the corner
Whats around the bend
Questions upon questions upon questions
Crowding round the side of my bed
These are just a few of the best ones
Adrift in my head,
Adrift in my head
Whos driving this airplane?
Did I live hard enough
Is it gonna rain
And how well have I loved?
How well have a I loved?
Lets walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
Well come to no harm, come to no harm
Lean on me if you stumble
neath the bright shining stars
And though the whole world may crumble
We know who we are, we know who we are

When I See You Again
Written by stevie nicks.
When I see you again
Will it be the same
When I see you again
Will it be over
When I see you again
Will your great eyes still say
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby

So she walks slowly down the hall
There are many doors in the hallway
And she stares at the stairs
Ooh there are many things to stare at these days
If she sees him again
Will your very best friend
Will your very best friend
Oh, have been replaced by some other
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby
And the dream says I want you
And the dream is gone
So she stays up night on end
Well at least there is a dream left
If I see you again
Will it be over
If I see you again
Will it be the same
If I see you again
Will it be over
Again and again
Over and over

In My Head
Should be enough to love someone
Just be happy theyre alive
Do you have to know what theyre doing
Like a job from nine to five
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing he la la whats new
Hes going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh wont you stay
Here for a day
In my head
And a walk is such a long way
When you have to get to her
An infinily of individual steps
Separates you from that girl
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing he la la whats new
Hes going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh wont you stay
Here for a day
In my head
All the things you tried to do
All those times you could never see it through
Everything you thought that you knew
Melted away
Left you no truth
Should be enough to love someone
Just be happy shes alive
Do you have to know that she hates you
Like a job from nine to five
And every time you talk to her
She seems to like you less
Was it all a misunderstanding
Just a big elaborate test
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing he la la whats new
Hes going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh wont you stay
Here for a day
In my head

Whats Up With That
Well how much blues do you use
Before you use it up
And how many fools take a chance
Before they hit it lucky
Tomorrows wanna be the day
It never seem to work that way
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Everybody want a little more
Than they think they got
But what you might think it is,
Might really not be, baby
Pick it up or leave it lay
It always seem to slip away
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Now how high will a river get
Before it overflows
And how long is the hole to china
It dont really know
This is what its all about
Theres always gonna be a doubt
Whats up with that

Whats up with that

Sorry
(shawn camp/wynn varble/brice long)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry, ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry
Well I came home from work in the middle of the day
Two hours early, but a little too late
She was coming down the stairs, looking mighty grand
With a big brown suitcase in her hand
I said, whats goin on, baby, whats the deal
She said, I just dont feel like I used to feel
With the devils own smile right out of the blue
She said, I done went and found myself somebody new
She said,
Sorry it didnt work out
Sorry, guess Ill see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, sorry
Well, I laid awake cryin for many a night
I just couldnt seem to get her off my mind
I went to her, got down on my knees
Said, baby, wont ya please come back to me
She said,
Sorry it didnt work out
Sorry, guess Ill see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, sorry
Well, time went by and my poor heart healed
I found me a woman whos love is real
Man shes a looker, the apple of my eye
And every head turns when she walks by
Well, we ran into my old flame the other day
It blew my mind what she had to say
She said, hello, baby, well how have you been
I was hopin maybe we could get together again
And I said,
Sorry it didnt work out
Sorry, guess Ill see you around
You ruined my life and left me broken hearted
And all you had to say was, sorry
You said, sorry

Nothing
Shot down your instincts, turned into a freak
You said this was your first time
How fast changes come for you to finally see
Shallow plains for you to find what you...
There's nothing left!
For me on this ride
There's something left!
With you by my side
There's nothing left!
Noooo nothing left...
Stuck in with no way out a gift for your grief
Shattered your thoughts of a good thing that you never had
Hopelessly knowing whats right or wrong
Can't stop the feeling, it comes so strong
There's nothing left!
For me on this ride
There's something left!
With you by my side
There's nothing left!
Noooo...
Observe nature from a black top view
Left you defenseless hoping for defeat
Built on my fears
Confession of obsession
One day happy place for you to hide
There's nothing left!
For me on this ride
There's something left!
With you by my side
There's nothing left!
There's nothing left!
For me on this ride
There's something left for me!
With you by my side
There's nothing left!
With this ghost on my side!
There's something left
With you in my life!
There's nothing left!
Nothing left, nooo...

Mrs Vandebilt
Down in the jungle living in a tent
You dont use money you dont pay rent
You dont ever know the time
But you dont mind
Ho hey ho...
When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
Whats the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
Youd better drop your hurrying
Whats the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone mrs vandebilt
Ive got plenty of time of my own
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
When your pile is one the wane
You dont complain of robbery
Run away dont bother me
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Leave me alone mrs washington
Ive done plenty of time on my own
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying? (no use!)
Whats the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...

Beauty Queen
Pretty face, simple mind.
Take a look whats inside.
Sugar coated shell, as sweet as cake.
But youre as smart as a frosted flake.
Since you were born youve always been a beauty queen.
Every single little school girls fantasy.
Every night you wake me up in my wet dream.
But youre talented enough for porno magazines.
Fashion girl, a living lie.
Painted face, airbrushed thighs.
Pay you millions, though youre talentless.
It makes me wish I had tits.
But what will you do when your glory days are over?
Will you find yourself asking whats left for me?
And what will you do when your torch has finally burned out?
Who will you turn to and where will you be?
And will you cry when you go to sleep at night knowing that your entire life has been skin deep?
Whos gonna be your faceless partner to swim with you in your shallow waters who will be your victim who will you bleed?
Beauty queen, one of a kind.
Fashion worlds left you behind.
Whats left for you?
What have you got?
Just memories and a place to rot.

Repression
Let not one word
be left unsaid.
Let not one song
be left unsung
or ever hung
out to dry.
So no one can ask
how or why?
For they both were left
in a head to die.
Speak your word.
Sing your song.
To keep it mute
in a head too long
leaves a vaccum
out in space
and inner frustration
left in place.

Tell Me Again
Looking at you
And all that weve been through
I just cant forget
Whats going through your head?
So I read what you left on the bed
Different signs, havent said
Its easier to
Try to kill my pain,
My pain, I hate
Its a world affair
So then I cant explain
To you, because the truth
Is something you cant take
*Tell me again
Whats wrong with me?
Why wont you depend on me now?
Just let it happen again
Tell me again
Whats wrong?
That I just dont feel the need to belong
This is no means to an end
Im not what you see, nooo
Been with a few
Oh but not quite like you
And youre crazy like me
What more can I ask for
So you need more
Everybody gets bored
I like all that I see
Its easier to
Try to kill my pain,
My pain, I hate
Its a world affair
So then I cant explain
To you, because the truth
Is something you cant take
[Chorus]
Ill burn you
And turn you
In you all
The others you had left
Alone with
No one is such a shame
You just dont know me yet
And now I think so much about me and you
I couldnt hurt you now
I never got to get up
I promise you
[Chorus]
Cuz Im not what you see
I wont try to be nooo

You Make Me Crazy
I waited all night
I smoked a hundred cigarettes
I chewed my lip til it bled
But the phone made not a sound
Sometimes I wonder
If you ever wonder whats become of little old me
But I aint no baby
I aint gonna cry but baby
You dont know whats going on inside me
Yknow you make me crazy
What you do to me
Its a chemical reaction or an allergy
Yknow you make me crazy
Youre aware of that
Why dont you come and put me away
It was a long night
I could barely keep my head
I heard a knock on the door
It was only harry jones
I used to wonder
What it is that makes me feel like I cant be free
cause you dont give me nothing
You never give me nothing
But you dont know whats going on inside me
Yknow you make me crazy
Im in misery
Are you interested enough to see whats left of me
You scared me
The way you move in the night
Your face is something frightening
Youre not so nice
Im gonna wonder
Who you spend your time with
Everywhere you go and what you see
I know Im not your daddy
I dont want to be your daddy
But you know whats going on inside me

Hands & Knees
You see me walking away
What more could I say than sorry
I failed by all your complaints
You pushed a life change but its not me
And filthy hands lay apon my chest
Lay upon my sin, but I do it for green
And in your mind you are blind
And your back turn so fine
Where were you when I needed you most
So mother so father
Im on my hands and knees
So mother so father
Im scrounging for whats left of me
My self-indulgence to blame
For all of the shame in the family
You dont know what its like
How I feel how I cry
How I hate the way I hate my life
So mother so father Im on my hands and knees
So mother so father
Im scrounging for whats left of me
Pues madre, y padre
Esta vida no quiero vivir
So mother so father
I dont want to live this way
So mother so father

Sinking In
This is a drag that its too late now.
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.
I didnt realize I still hold on to you but I still do.
Was it that I turned everyone against you.
Was it that I didnt defend you.
Was it that I never had your back.
Was it that I was always trying to save you and you never wanted me to.
Or was it that I loved you.
You dont seem to see me sinking in do you.
Youre not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again dont you.
Dont you baby.
I did it again.
I dont stop paying.
You dont look so good to me my friend.
Is it because of me I really left this time.
Did you ever say goodbye.
Was it that I had a crush on your friend.
Was it that I left for another man.
Was it that I didnt know.
That you were in over your head and I didnt see what I had did i.
No, I didnt and uh.
(chorus)
Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass.
I couldnt see through it and you could.
And now look whats come of us here ten years later.
I jump from one to the other, youre still worrying your mother.
And I almost went under baby.
