Lyrics

That's As Far As I'll Go (Elvis Costello)

You're running scared, you're not prepared
that's undeniable
Shows you how much I know
I will admit to bein' a bit
less than reliable
That's as far as I'll, go
Just look at me, I thought my dreams
were unachievable
Shows how much I know
I've had my share of wear & tear
It's inconceivable
That's as far as I'll go

[bridge]
And what if all that I say is a lie
You would never know
so let's keep it simple and we'll do all right
That is all I know

Call me na've, but I believe
I'm private property
Shows you how much I know
Maybe a word will help much to curb
your curiosity
That's as far as I'll go

[chorus]
You know all you need to know
That's as far as I will go
You know all you need to know
That's as far as I'll go

So let me guess, I souldn't question
your sincerity
Show you how much I know
And should you ask I'll raise a glass
to mediocrity
That's as far as I'll go

[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]

Just look at me, I thought my dreams
were unachievable
Shows you how much I know
I've had my share of wear & tear
It's inconceivable
That's as far as I'll go

[repeat chorus]

My Friend (Elvis Costello)

The winter now is finally passed
I'm re-acquainted with my dreams
all that was done yesterday
the things that I believed
I feel a new strength restored in me

I wonder what you're thinking now
or if you even see
You wish that you could change the past
Have you taken all you need
I know that you're not laughing now

[chorus]
Many years have gone by my friend
So many miles down the road
The whell still runs and I ride the spokes
each new season brings

[chorus]
Darkness falls on behind me
I'm starting now to find my way
I'ts over now and you're nowhere near
I still can't hear your name

Fairytale (Elvis Presley)

I'll pack up all my things and walk away,
I don't want to hear another word you have to say
I've been waiting for so long
I just found out there's something wrong
And there's nothing what get better if I stay

There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
But now I've opened up my eyes
And found it's all been just a great big fairytale

I've been lovin' you so long
Don't think I'd even know how to forget you
But now the way that things have been
I think I'm better off alone
Than to be with you

There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go

Seems like I've been lost in a dream
Pretending you were mine
Someday you'll open up your eyes
And realize that a good man's hard to find

Oh Maria (Sam Roberts)

You could never compromise
I could never satisfy you at all
Always thought you had gentle eyes
Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
Before I was a young man
Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
The years don't seem to touch you
It makes me wonder what you sold

Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no

You lived on the seventh floor
It was far from heaven but it meant more
You said things that were hard to ignore
My conversation makes you bored
You always hated wedding bells
You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking

Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no

So how's it going to be, Maria?
Will it be you and me?
Or will it be
Five more years of counting my tears
Five more years of living in fear
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole

Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray

Saw a photograph of you today
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
And now I see that you made the front page
Married for the money and you blew him away
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
You only had five words on your mind
"Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking"

Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no

Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no

I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole

Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Listen what I say
This girl is leading me astray

Footsteps In The Hall (Elvis Costello)

The sound is getting closer
The footsteps in the hall
I can hear them talking
I listen through the wall
It sounds to me like someone is
heading for a fall
Maybe I should follow
the footsteps in the hall

[chorus]
Do what you want to
You're too late
I'm watching you
Do what you want to
It's far too late
I'm on to you

Now I hear the door close
I step out in the hall
I listen through the doorway
I listen through the wall
Maybe I could stop this or maybe I should call
It sound to me like someone is
heading for a fall

[repeat chorus]

The elevator opens
I run back to my room
I hear a lot of voices
They'll get him very soon
I don't know when he's comin'
I don't know what to do
Now the room is silent
We'll all be in the news

[repeat chorus]

Now here comes the victim
He doesn't have a clue
Then I hear the room scream
"surprise" this night's for you

Place Of Higher Power (Edenbridge)

The rain abates
A new dawn waits
Will I be back on dryland?
Unconfined
Our restless mind
It's a jungle out there

Those barren years
And vast frontiers
We are drifting worlds apart
The apron stage
A golden cage
But beauty's only skin deep

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
It's just a world of make believe
But what a tangled web we weave
We dream on consecrated ground
(We're spellbound)

[Chorus 1:]
Framed into this world
All along the line
Take me outside space and time
Working like a charm
Burning down the harm
In a place of higher power

I hear the bell
Tolls the knell
Can we cross a boundary
Shining streams
Recurring dreams
Take me out of this world

I'm tired and drawn
Goes on and on
Inquire into mine own heart
The inner twist
Can I resist
In a lucid moment

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I'm chasing horses in midstream
I follow my recurring dream
And leave the nadir, meet my fate
(Can you await)

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2:]
Ardour and despair
On a wing and prayer
A panacea in my veins
Lode star on my sky
Shine and purify
In a place of higher power

[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

Always Where I Need to Be (The Kooks)

She don't know who she is
Oh,I can take her anywhere
Do whatever comes naturally to you
You know she just don't care
You know she just don't care

'Cause I'm always where
I need to be
And I always thought
I would end up with you eventually

Do do do dododo do do do dododo
Do do do dododo do do do dododo

Now I see her again
I have to be a hummingbird
Whisper words in her ear
Oh, You know I just don't care
You know she just don't care

'Cause I'm always where
I need to be
And I always thought
I would end up with you eventually

Do do do dododo do do do dododo
Do do do dododo do do do dododo

Oooh wohwohwoh oh I'm a man on the scene
I'm a man and I can be so obscene
'Cause I always think I know how to be
But I always thought I would end up with you eventually

Do do do dododo, do do do dododo, Do do do dododo, do do do dododo

Got To Get Another Girl (Eddie Money)

I give her everything, and bought her a diamond ring

I give her everything, and bought her a diamond ring
But she just begs for more, 'cause I'm the king of the store
I work for day and nights, heaven rock 'n' roller, woo!
But with this girl I got, I can't control her

Its gotta be the passing day at the bank of England, oh
I've got to, got to get another girl, got to, got to get another girl
I've got to, got to get another girl
I've got to, I've really got to get another girl

Right now!

I give her everything now, I bought her diamond rings
But she just begs for more, I'm the king of the store
I work for day and nights, a rock and roller
But with this girl I got, now, I can't control her, ahh

Gotta be the passing day at the bank of England, oh
I've got to, got to get another girl
I've got to, got to get another girl
I've got to, got to get another girl

Making Records (Gerardo)

I am braiding records into my hair
Needles and record players
Everything's a
Possible record cover
Or a possible name for a band that I will never have
I will never have

'Cause I sing my songs all by myself
All to myself
From myself
I am cute
But I'm not in a band
Where's my band?
Where's my band?
Where's my amplifiers?

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen
Surrounded by forks and a linoleum floor
I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me
From being so tired and sleeping with my mascara on

In the studio
They're adjusting the wires and microphones
And I'm about to sing my songs
And they won't be just my own
And I'm glad that they'll exist
But they'll make me obsolete

'Cause I sing it just once, and the wires, they remember it
And sing it right back
And they do it better than I can
Anytime, anywhere, I'm preserved
I'm a jelly or a jam
Jelly or a jam

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen
A halo of forks and a linoleum floor
I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me
From being so tired and being so drunk
Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen
Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop
I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me
From being so eccentric and being so lonely

Corazn
Corazn
This is my
Corazn

I know that I am lucky
I make shit up all the time
And I start to believe it myself
Just 'cause it rhymes
But I'm so inconsistent
My handwriting changes every other word
So I'm braiding records into my hair
Needles and record players
Everything's a
Possible record cover
Or a possible name for a band that I will never have
I will never have
Never have
Never have
Never have

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen
A halo of forks and a linoleum floor
I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me
From being so drunk and being so drunk
Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen
Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop
I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me
From being so eccentric and being so lonely

I Don't Know (Dredg)

Well, I've been absorbed in mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs
And given 'em up
Cause there's no guarantee
Of a god or longevity
Admit you don't know anything
And give it up

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

Give it up, give it up, give it up

Well I don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone
I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way

There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up
Learn from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up, give it up

Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know
I'm giving up

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way

Lyrics:
Touched down in London town with a dream and my beefeater
Welcome to the land of Posh Spice, ooh! Am I gonna meet her?
In a black cab daddy Winehouse drives
Waitin' for this moment all of my life
I feel so skittish
Everybody seems so British

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Or maybe that was the spotted dick
Then the driver turns on the BBC
And a Cheryl Cole song was on
And a Cheryl Cole song was on
And a Cheryl Cole song was on

So I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
Americans think we're
Sayin' Cheerio like yeah
It's not a cereal over here
I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
You know I'm gonna play croquet
Yes, it's a party in the UK
Yes, it's a party in the UK

Get to the pub in my black cab and all the blokes turn around
Like who's that bird with the nice teeth? She's gotta be from out of town
So hard with me mates not around me
It's definitely not a Manchester party
I feel so silly
Want to get pissed like Lily

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
And I hear Big Ben tick-tick
Then the Celtic band plays my favorite choon
And a Leona choon was on
And a Leona choon was on
And a Leona choon was on

So I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
Americans think we're
Sayin' Cheerio like yeah
It's not a cereal over here
I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
You know I'm gonna play croquet
Yes, it's a party in the UK
Yes, it's a party in the UK

Feel like I'll go punting down
The river Cam to my hometown
Something stops me every time
The Spice Girls reunite and I feel alright

So I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
Americans think we're
Sayin' Cheerio like yeah
It's not a cereal over here
I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
You know I'm gonna play croquet
Yes, it's a party in the UK
Yes, it's a party in the UK

So I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
Americans think we're
Sayin' Cheerio like yeah
It's not a cereal over here
I put my pinky up there's tea in my cup
You know I'm gonna play croquet
Yes, it's a party in the UK
Yes, it's a party in the UK
