Emperor's New Clothes
Now that you've been bought and sold
you don't got time to fix the mess your in
and if I may be so bold
I bet you couldn't even do it again.
Lying like yesterday's paper
just outside your door
Chorus:
Now you need me to clean your shoes
walk on water be in the mood
everybody's talking but nobody knows
Where did the emporer get them new clothes
I always did look up to you
I tried to copy everything that you did
until you broke my heart in two
you shot me up and then you flipped your lid
Lying like yessterdays paper
just outside your door
Repeat Chorus

Summer Breeze
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright
CHORUS:
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Repeat chorus
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Burning Paper
I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away,
I knew I would, I would if I waited a day,
It made me feel better, what I had to say,
I knew it would, it did, but I waited.
I hardly bothered, though I laboured all day,
I work so hard, there's no time left to please you.
The day I decided I had nothing to say, I'll never learn,
I'm burning all this paper away.
(chorus)
A rhythym in your walking tree, its a tapestry of pride your weaving,
Over, under, ropes of wonder, tie me to a chair.
I'm dirty feet on your clean white shoes, I'm the man of the mess that
greets you, been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hair.
I think its time you let me go,
I'm too in love, let me go,
I think its time you let me go,
I'm too in love,
I think its time you let me go,
I'm too in love, let me go,
(chorus)
I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away,
I knew I would, I would, if I waited a day,
It made me feel better, but I have to say,
I'll never learn, I'm burning all this paper away,
I'm burning all this paper away,
I'm burning all this paper.

The Day I Broke The Law
Tomorrow I'll be coming home Verse 1
I hope to find you all alone
With open arms to greet me at the door.
You cried as I was led away
It seems like only yesterday
But after all these years I can't be sure
While I've been dreaming dreams of you Chorus
Not knowing what your going through
I prayed that you'd remember me
But I know life goes on you see
I broke your heart the day I broke the law
The man you know don't hurt no more Verse 2
My tears were shed behind locked door
I've told myself your gone ten thousand times.
Still when it got to much too bear
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Your kissing lips were always on my mind.
(Repeat Chorus)
So yesterday they set me free Verse 3
They gave me back my liberty
They gave me something else I can't ignore

Cant Be Really Gone
Her hat is hanging by the door
The one she bought in mexico
It blocked the wind, it stopped the rain
Shed never leave that one
So she cant be really gone
The shoes she bought on christmas eve
She laughed and said they called her name
Its like theyre waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on
So she cant be really gone
Chorus:
I dont know when shell come back back
She must intend to come back
And Ive seen the error of my ways
Dont waste the tears on me
What more proof do you need
Just look around the room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21
So she cant be really gone
Bridge:
Just look around this room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away with so much left undone
So she cant be really gone
No she cant be really gone

This Poem Is A Mess
This poem is a mess
It claimed shads of paper
Drained in pensil and ink
Finished and unfinished
This poem is a mess
This poem is a mess
It victimised toilet paper
Short and long, of all colours
Scribbled, drafted and erased
Pinned on the wall, anywhichway
This poem is a mess
This poem is a mess
It messed up everywhere
Lying on the floor, sholved
In the pockets, every corner
With incomprehensible words,
Misspelt, miswritten, strange
This poem is a mess.

And then the paper is dirty
You start with a clean sheet of paper
Write some words, scribble, draw some lines
Some curves, sharp lines, tangent to bold
Lines, and rough sketches of faces and
Bodies, thin lines that get crooked from
End to end of this limited space,
You doodle, you get wild with so
Many lines unimaginable, senseless,
The paper finally looks dirty,
And you do not like it, you crumple
It and throw it in a waste basket,
You get another clean sheet,
And this time, you think what is
It really that you want to make
Out of this new clean sheet of paper.
You think, you ponder, and you need
More time this time not to waste
This clean, glossy sheet of paper.
I think you are doing well with your life.
You see you are supposed to be careful
Every word is delicate and every paper
Is actually accounted.
Never mind guilt, set it aside for a while.

I Feel The Blues Movin In
Though the miles are between us
I thought our love would strengthen
As it has so many times before
But something has happened
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel my world is crumblin
And the blues are at my door
Chorus:
The last letter that you wrote was
On a blue piece of paper
That old feelins back
The clouds are movin in
The beginning of the end is near
I feel your love has faded into darkness
It seems I have no friend
I feel the blues movin in
Oh its not the words you wrote that made me sad
And broken-hearted
Thats put me in this sad shape Im in
Between the lines are mixed emotions
And theres teardrops on the paper
You said thats all Ill write today
Ill cose for now old friend
Repeat chorus
My state of mind is desperate
And this hole that Im sinkin in
Gets deeper while Im diggin to get out
Oh please give the right answer to the questions Im askin
Tell me you still love me
That would turn my world about

Paper Doll
Written by stevie nicks.
You like a man with a future
You like a woman with a past
Well do you really believe that
She said to faces in the crowd
(yesterday I was facinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
(yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
And even if you did miss me
You never let me know
You prefer to be just a little bit
In and out of love with me
And not to scream and shout
You prefer to be just a little bit
In and out of agony
(yesterday I was facinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
(yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
Come on now, let the sad winds blow down
As the rain came, she refused to wear her coat
But deep in her heart she knew, that the song must go on
He says well I have forgotten you
And your beautiful eyes
We were off the wall
We were mirrors of our former selves
Well you could have said no
You could have said well I just cant
Whoa we were off the wall
We were mirrors of each other
Passing by
(yesterday I was facinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
(yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else)
Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else
Repeat
Well I was your paper doll
(yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else)
Paper doll
(yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else)
Well I was you paper doll

And it doesnt even matter

Get Over You
Get Over You"
I can remember the day and time that we broke up
It was December and the holidays were coming up
I didnt expect to loose all of the time I shared with you
But now that its gone I find myself longing for you
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt about it Im sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I dont know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I cant aint no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me
[Chorus]
Its true I cant get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I cant get over you
I can remember calling your phone and hanging up
Cause I was to afraid to talk, if by chance you picked it up
But now that I done thought about it,
Id feel better if we talk about it
And let you know whats on my mind
See I wanna try to make things right.
[Repeat Prelude]
[Repeat Chorus]
Lately Ive been doing some reminiscing
Id be lying if I said that I dont miss you
I have feelings from deep in the past
Cause now I need you back
It wasnt so bad

No I cant get over
Said no way I cant get over

Still In Love With You
Visions haunt my memory
They hold on, hold on desperately
You and I were over long ago
Dont know why
My heart was last to know
Each time I find somebody new
Still in love with you
I know I been lying to myself
Baby, its you
You know Ill deny it
But know its true
Still in love with you
Wake up, crying in the night
These feelings Im feeling
Prove you right
You told me
No one could take your place
No matter how I try
I cant replace
One thing you said
I know its true

Still in love with you

Hear a knock upon my door
Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
He said you know Ive called before

What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow

Darkened doorways
Strangest things can happen
Dont know who youre talking to
Find yourself
When lightning strikes you now
You could be looking back at you

Ive walked a million miles across this floor
But I never have quite made it to the door
I never thought the time would come
Id ever see this day
When you could make me feel so thrown away

Im feeling like an old pair of shoes
All worn out from walking through these blues
Theres a hole in my soul

It aint no easy thing to give you up
Looking back Im feeling like
Theres nothing left to lose

Yesterday
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye to the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
CHORUS:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
and everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
the good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
the best years away
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
REPEAT CHORUS
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted

Now it's gone like yesterday

Blank Sheet Of Paper
I'm just a blank sheet of paper
This fool's about to write you a letter
To tell you that he's sorry
For the way he did you wrong
To ask for forgiveness
For leaving you alone
He's been looking down at me seems like forever
he takes the top on and off his pen
It's like he can't decide
Just what he wants to say
If he'd just tell the truth
I'd be on my way
Chorus
But he just stares at me
And i just stare at him
He don't know where to start
To say he doesn't want it to end
And now it's one hour later (four hours later)
I am still a blank sheet of paper
Sunlight is shining through the curtains
He's almost asleep pen in hand
There's a tear in his eye
That refuses to fall
If it would land on me
That would say it all
Repeat Chorus
And he just stares at me
And i just stare at him
He don't know where to start
To say he wants it back again
And now one broken heart later
I am still a Blank sheet of paper
