Cristo!!!

SUBI HJ PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ NO CORCOVADO!!!!


Dados e história sobre o Corcovado e o Cristo Redentor


A estátua Cristo Redentor Inauguração: 12/08/1931
Escultor: Paul Max. Landowski
Altura total: 38 metros
Altura estátua: 30 metros
Peso: 1145 toneladas
Largura (mão a mão): 30 metros
Localização: topo do morro
Corcovado a 710 metros do nível do mar.
A história recente do Corcovado data desde o século XVI, quando os colonizadores portugueses batizaram a montanha de Pico da Tentação, uma referência a um monte bíblico. No século XVII o monte é rebatizado de Corcovado, devido a sua forma que lembraria uma corcunda (corcova). 

Em 1824, dois anos após a independência do Brasil, Dom Pedro I lidera uma expedição ao topo do Corcovado, abrindo um caminho para o cume. 35 anos mais tarde, em 1859 o padre Pedro Maria Boss sugere à Princesa Isabel que seja construído um monumento religioso no alto do Corcovado. 
 


                                                                                           Em 1882 Dom Pedro II autoriza a construção da Estrada de Ferro do Corcovado, que começa a funcionar em 1884 no trecho Cosme Velho Paineiras. Um ano mais tarde é inaugurado o trecho final da estrada de ferro, ligando as Paineiras ao topo do morro. A extensão total da ferrovia é de 3800 metros. 

Somente em 1921 é retomada a idéia do Padre Maria Boss de construir um monumento religioso, na ocasião para comemorar-se o centenário da independência do Brasil. A pedra fundamental da construção é lançada em 4 de Abril de 1922. Em 1923 é realizado um concurso para a escolha do monumento a ser construído e o projeto vencedor é do engenheiro Heitor da Silva Costa. 

Finalmente, em 1931 é inaugurada oficialmente a Estátua do Cristo Redentor. O desenho da estátua é de Carlos Oswald e a execução do escultor francês Paul Maximilian Landowski. As escadas rolantes e os elevadores são de 2003. Em 2007 o Cristo Redentor foi declarado uma das 7 Maravilhas do Mundo.

INVESTIGANDO E INVESTIGADOR!!!

 FILMAÇO!!! ADOREI TUDO!! RECOMENDO MUITO!!!!

Sherlock Holmes sempre foi o homem mais inteligente do pedaço... até agora. Existe um novo e maior gênio do crime - Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) - e ele não apenas é igual a Holmes intelectuamente, mas sua capacidade para o mal, aliada a uma completa falta de consciência, podem realmente dar-lhe uma vantagem sobre o famoso detetive...

Quando o príncipe herdeiro da Áustria é encontrado morto, a prova, interpretada pelo Inspetor Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), aponta para suicídio. 

Mas Sherlock Holmes deduz que o príncipe tenha sido vítima de um assassinato – um assassinato que é apenas uma peça de um quebra-cabeça maior e muito mais portentoso, desenhado pelo professor Moriarty.
 
Misturando negócios com prazer, Holmes segue as pistas até um clube subterrâneo, onde ele e seu irmão, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) estão brindando a última noite de solteiro do Dr. Watson. 

É lá que Holmes encontra Sim (Noomi Rapace), uma cartomante cigana, que vê mais do que diz e cujo o envolvimento inconsciente no assassinato do príncipe faz com que ela seja o próximo alvo do assassino. Holmes consegue salvar sua vida e ela, com relutância, concorda em ajudá-lo em troca.

A investigação torna-se cada vez mais perigosa a medida que leva Holmes, Watson e Sim através do continente, da Inglaterra para a França, depois para a Alemanha e, finalmente, para a Suíça. Mas o astuto Moriarty está sempre um passo à frente e constroí uma teia de morte e destruição - tudo parte de um plano maior que, se bem sucedido, irá mudar o curso da história.

SERRA!! NÃO O CARECA MAIS A SERRA!! NÃO A QUE CORTA ..A SERRA!!!

Noite mágica de poesia - música e alegrias ontem em itaipava com meu irmãozinho DK Vulgo Durango Kid ...


Durango Kid era uma série de aventuras do tipo faroeste, originalmente produzido para o cinema, onde o mocinho se vestia todo de roupa preta, usava uma máscara (também preta) no rosto para encobrir sua verdadeira identidade (bope?), galopando um belo cavalo branco chamado Corisco. Era um mocinho rápido no gatilho, acertava e desarmava qualquer bandido do velho oeste, num piscar dos olhos.

SAXOFONE ...BAIXO E BATERIA E MUITAS RIMAS...

Muita poesia ritmada e Hoje na distante Fazenda Inglesa , muita paz e verde no meio da mata Atlantica..

FIM DE SEMANA ESPECIAL DEMAIS!!!

Foi no Empório de Cultura, no Shopping Vilarejo, em Itaipava, que rolou o evento Poesia Ritmada...
O show , comandado pelo MC Durango Kid  contou, nesta edição, com convidados como, os músicos Bruno Mackenze e Mayra Couto, o poeta Alvaro Assis e o MC Slow da BF.

“O Poesia Ritmada é uma mistura de jam session e sarau, onde letras serão declamadas, poemas cantados e canções reinventadas, além de sessões de improviso criando diálogo com a plateia”, acrescentou MC Durango Kid, idealizador do projeto.

No repertório músicas que vão desde Noel Rosa a Black & Alien Speed, passando por Moreira da Silva e Ney Lopes. E, além disso, a plateia ainda  desfrutou de poesias autorais de Alvaro Assis.

“Eu quis fazer um show para as pessoas curtirem em um bar, tomando uma cerveja e que ele nunca se repetisse. Tudo é muito baseado na dinâmica do improviso e pode ir para qualquer lado. Outra ideia é mostrar que é possível dar uma cara brasileira ao rap”, declarou o MC.

A proposta é que a dinâmica com mais de duas horas de duração seja mensal e sempre com um toque de novidade.MÁGICA!!

rivais

A década de 70 marcou o início da ascensão do DJ jamaicano, uma tendência que continuou durante a era do roots e tornou-se dominante em toda a fase dance hall e ragga...


Vários dos mais talentosos DJs que se teve notícia no início dos anos 1970 (notadamente Big Youth, Dillinger, U Roy e Prince Jazzbo) continuaram a fazer gravações na era do reggae roots, alguns para as seus próprios selos.

Eles e os seus numerosos rivais da próxima geração já não simplesmente adicionavam à emoção da dança com slogans: o deejay nessa época faziam comentários sobre as tribulações dos "sofredores" dos guetos, aulas de História a partir de uma perspectiva do negro e o canto dos salmos.

A aproximação com a cultura hip hop original é máxima!!!!

Funk parte 1

FUNK PARTE 1...

Funk (também conhecido como soul funk ) é um estilo bem característico da música negra norte-americana, desenvolvido a partir de meados dos anos 60 por artistas como James Brown e por seus músicos, especialmente Maceo Parker e Melvin Parker, a partir de uma mistura de soul music, soul jazz, rock psicodélico e RB.
O pianista norte-americano Horace Silver, na década de 60, pode ser considerado o pai do funk. Silver uniu o jazz à soul music e começou a difundir a expressão “funk style”. Nesta época, o funk ainda não tinha a sua principal característica: o swing. Foi com James Brown que o estilo tornou-se dançante e ganhou o mundo.



Não existiria HIP HOP se não houvesse James Brown e a JB’s Band…
A Banda era enorme, mas vale lembrar os principais componentes…

Fred Wesley  e Willian “Bootsy” Collins

Somente com as inovações de James Brown é que o funk passou a ser considerado um gênero distinto. Na tradição do R&B, estas bandas bem ensaiadas criaram um estilo instantaneamente reconhecível, repletos de vocais e côros de acompanhamento cativantes. Brown mudou a ênfase rítmica 2:4 do soul tradicional para uma ênfase 1:3, anteriormente associada com a música dos brancos - porém com uma forte presença da seção de metais. Com isto, a batida 1:3 virou marca registrada do funk 'tradicional'.

A gravação de Brown feita em 1965, de seu sucesso "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" normalmente é considerada como a que lançou o gênero funk...

James Brown e os outros têm creditado a criação do gênero a Little Richard que em turnê com sua banda The Upsetters, com Lee Allen e Earl Palmer na bateria, em meados dos anos 50, como sendo a primeira a colocar o funk na batida do rock 'n' roll.
 
Esses músicos tocaram com o grande Fats domino e trouxeram muitas coisas desta interação , com fats domino tocaram também os músicos, Herbert Hardesty ,Alvin "Red" Tyler , Reggie Houston, Lee Allen, e Fred Kemp.

Um nome muito importante nesta história é o de Bobby Byrd , do qual falo mais daqui a pouco...

A banda The Upsetters começou com o baterista de Nova Orleans Charles "Chuck" Connors e dois saxofonistas, incluindo Wilbert "Lee Diamond" Smith. Em 1955 se juntaram à banda os saxofonistas Clifford "Gene" Burks e Grady Gaines, o guitarrista Nathaniel "Buster" Douglas e o baixista Olsie "Baysee" Robinson.

Outra banda importante foi a Famous Flames..Em 1955, Brown e a irmã de Bobby Byrd, Sarah se apresentaram em um grupo chamado "The Gospel Starlighters". Eventualmente Brown se juntava ao grupo vocal de Bobby Byrd, the Avons, e Byrd transformou o som do grupo em secular rhythm and blues. 

Após o nome do grupo ter sido mudado para The Flames, Brown e o grupo de Byrd foram para o Sul, o chamado "chitlin' circuit". 

The Famous Flames with James Brown on Drums
















As primeiras gravações de Brown foram composições inspiradas no gospel-R& B, altamente influenciadas pelo trabalho de músicos como Ray Charles e Little Richard. 

A relação com Little Richard foram particularmente significantes no desenvolvimento como músico e showman. Quando Richard deixou a música pop em 1957 para se tornar pregador, Brown substituiu Richard nas datas restantes. Vários músicos que acompanhavam Little Richard se juntaram ao grupo de Brown depois que Richard deixou a cena.

Brown retornou as paradas em 1958 com o sucesso "Try Me". Este single foi o mais vendido entre os discos de R&B do ano, e se tornaria o primeiro de 17 canções que atingiriam o topo da parada R&B pelas próximas duas décadas. No lançamento de "Try Me" em disco, o nome do grupo passou a ser James Brown and The Famous Flames.

 Em um notável acontecimento, Brown gravou o sucesso de 1960 "(Do the) Mashed Potatoes" na gravadora Dade Records, de propriedade de Henry Stone, sobre o pseudônimo de "Nat Kendrick & The Swans"

Ainda falando de músicos que estavam ao lado de Jb , tenho que falar de 2 brothers...

Melvim Parker é um baterista , irmão do saxofonista Maceo Parker.  Seu estilo diferenciado foi o grande ingrediente para as inovações da música funk nos anos 60.Seu irmão,Maceo Parker é um cantor e saxofonista de soul, funk e jazz.

maceo-parker-e1320134476383.jpg












Nascidos em um ambiente totalmente musical, sua mãe e seu pai cantaram em uma igreja e seus irmãos eram músicos, tocavam tambor e trombones.
Além deste podemos falar de:

  • Clyde Stubblefield 
  • Jabo Starks. 
  • Maceo and All The Kings Men
  • Marva Whitney
  • Vicki Anderson
O funk vive!!

    Funk parte 2...

    Segunda parte...

    O funk pode ser melhor reconhecido por seu ritmo sincopado, pelos vocais de alguns de seus cantores e grupos (como Cameo, ou os Bar-Kays). E ainda pela forte e rítmica seção de metais, pela percussão marcante e ritmo dançante.


    Nos anos 70 o funk foi influência para músicos de jazz (como exemplos, as músicas de Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Eddie Harris entre outros).

    Os músicos negros norte-americanos primeiramente chamavam de funk à música com um ritmo mais suave. Esta forma inicial de música estabeleceu o padrão para músicos posteriores: uma música com um ritmo mais lento, sexy, solto, orientado para frases musicais repetidas (riffs) e principalmente dançante.

    Funk era um adjetivo típico da língua inglesa para descrever estas qualidades. Nas jam sessions, os músicos costumavam encorajar outros a “apimentar” mais as músicas, dizendo: Now, put some stank (stink/funk) on it!” (algo como “coloque mais ‘funk’ nisso!”).

    Num jazz de Mezz Mezzrow dos anos 30, Funky Butt, a palavra já aparecia. Devido à conotação sexual original, a palavra funk era normalmente considerada indecente. Até o fim dos anos 50 e início dos 60, quando “funk” e “funky” eram cada vez mais usadas no contexto da soul music, as palavras ainda eram consideradas indelicadas e inapropriadas para uso em conversas educadas.

    A essência da expressão musical negra norte-americana tem suas raízes nos spirituals, nas canções de trabalho, nos gritos de louvor, no gospel e no blues.

    Na música mais contemporânea, o gospel, o blues e suas variantes tendem a fundir-se.

    O funk se torna assim uma fusão do soul, do jazz e do R&B.

    Nos anos 70, George Clinton, com suas bandas Parliament, e, posteriormente, Funkadelic, desenvolveu um tipo de funk mais pesado, influenciado pelo jazz e Rock psicodélico. As duas bandas tinham músicos em comum, o que as tornou conhecidas como 'Parliament-Funkadelic'. O surgimento do Parliament-Funkadelic deu origem ao chamado P-Funk', que se referia tanto à banda quanto ao subgênero que desenvolveu.

    Outros grupos de funk que surgiram nos anos 70 incluindo: B.T. Express, The Main Ingredient, The Commodores, Earth, Wind & Fire, War, Lakeside, Brass Construction, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool & The Gang, Chic, Cameo, Fatback,The Gap Band, Instant Funk, The Brothers Johnson, Ohio Players, Wild Cherry,Skyy, e músicos/cantores como Jimmy "Bo" Horne, Rick James, Chaka Khan, Tom Browne, Kurtis Blow (um dos precursores do rap), e os popstars Michael Jackson e Prince.


    Por aqui:Carlos Dafé, Miguel de Deus, Banda Black Rio, Dom Mita, Tony Bizarro, Dom Beto, Trio Esperança, Mão Branca ,Robson Jorge , Tim Maia , Gersom King Combo, Cassiano, Hyldon

    Nos anos 80 o funk tradicional perdeu um pouco da popularidade nos EUA, à medida que as bandas se tornavam mais comerciais e a música mais eletrônica. Seu derivado, o rap , porém, começou a se espalhar, com bandas como Sugarhill Gang eSoulsonic Force (em parceria com Afrika Bambaataa).
     
    A partir do final dos anos 80, com a disseminação dos samplers, partes de antigos sucessos de funk (principalmente dos vocais de James Brown) começaram a ser copiados para outras músicas pelo novo fenômeno das pistas de dança, a house music.

    Nesta época surgiu também algumas derivações do funk como o Eletro que fazia grande uso de samplers, baterias eletronicas e sintetizadores.Mas , isso é a próxima lenda que vou contar logo logo!!!

    o 27..uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh que medo!!!

    Celebridades que morreram aos vinte e sete anos

    morte aos 27 anos Clube dos 27
    Olhando a lista abaixo, a gente fica arrepiado com a lista de pessoas que morreram aos vinte e sete anos.
    Eu acredito que o final dos anos sessenta e início dos anos setenta foi muito triste, nessa ápoca o rock sofreu suas maiores perdas. Nessa lista estão apenas as pessoas que morreram com vinte e sete anos, mas morreram muito mais.

    É inevitável também, a relação entre o rock e as drogas. No Brasil, as drogas ainda são um tabu, por isso costuma-se atribuir ao álcool e ao cigarro, as causas das mortes, isso sem falar que a elite não permite esse tipo de divulgação.

    O ano de 1.994 foi macabro, tanto Kurt Kobain, quanto Kristen Ptaff eram muito próximos, mesmo assim a morte de um não foi suficiente para alertar o outro.

    Em todos esses casos, notamos a liberdade exagerada que as celebridades tem, o motivo certamente deve ser o dinheiro.

    Todas essas celebridades viviam no limite, o que já seria motivo de sobra para o risco de morte.
    Brian Jones, por exemplo, acabou com sua carreira.
    Nem os amigos próximos suportavam suas manias, isolado, mergulhava fundo nas drogas.
    Dezenas de anos depois, descobriu-se que fora assassinado, mas por que encobriram o escândalo?

    Vinte sete anos não é uma idade comum para conflitos psicológicos, não para as pessoas normais, mas quem disse que as estrelas são pessoas normais?

    Muitas vezes, a própria inspiração de um artista vem desse inconformismo, as drogas só ajudam a derrubar de vez uma mente atormentada.

    Desde 1.994, não havia uma perda tão grande. A morte de Amy Winehouse voltou a assombrar e a chocar, vinte e sete anos, mas quem se importa?

    A situação pode se complicar, quando uma cantora famosa tem alta de um hospital e depois tem uma recaída, morrendo em seguida, é assustador.
      
    Os anos que abalaram o mundo:

    Amy Winehouse – 2.011
    Kurt Kobain (Nirvana) – 1.994
    Jimmy Hendrix – 1.970
    Jim Morrison (The Doors) – 1971
    Janis Joplin – 1.970
    Robert Johson – 1.938
    Peter Ham (Bad Finger) – 1.947
    Kristen Ptaff (Hole) – 1.994
    Pete de Freitas (Echo and the Bunnymen) – 1.989
    Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) – 1.969
    Chris Bell (Big Star) – 1.978

    …e todos morreram aos vinte e sete anos…

    No tears for us
    Think love and wear a smile

    Our dreams are magic because
    We'll always stay in love this way
    Our day will come
    (our day will come, our day will come)

    Our dreams are magic because
    We'll always stay in love this way
    Our day will come

    Our day will come (our day will come, our day will come)
    Our day will come (our day will come, our day will come)
    Our day will come (our day will come, our day will come)



    Between The Cheats
    I would die before I divorce you
    I'd take a thousand thumps for my love
    Cause you kiss a lucky horseshoe
    Stuck it in my boxing glove
    Cause anyone who will see us
    Through our victory and done defeat
    Knows that I'll take you to the cleaners
    If you come between the cheats

    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh

    My husband is the finest handsome hustler
    And he still make this housewife blush
    So I'm holding my hand in his
    I'm sitting on the royal flush
    Women drink him in, swimming in his green eyes
    Then go home and catch the chips you got
    And...
    The jack of hearts is my jackpot

    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh

    Catch me on...
    And I know as my heart beats
    There's a win secret to...
    And it's sworn between the cheats

    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
    Between the cheats, ooh oh oh ooh oh oh



    Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
    Amy Winehouse

    You give your love so sweetly
    Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
    Will you still love me tomorrow?

    Is this a lasting treasure
    Or just a moment's pleasure?
    Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
    Will you still love me tomorrow?

    Tonight with words unspoken

    But will my heart be broken

    Is love I can be sure of
    So tell me now, cause I won't ask again
    Will you still love me tomorrow?

    Yeah



    Like Smoke (feat. Nas)
    I never wanted you to be my man
    I just need your company
    Don't want to get dependent on
    Your time or who you spend it on
    Or lose the way you love me
    Like smoke, I hung around
    And be your balance

    [Nas]
    It's not a movie, this is not a script to proofread
    I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
    Tryna punctuate the funds I make amounts I take
    put in your face oh, my mistake
    You're not a floozy? Then excuse me
    Before I talk, my style introduced me
    Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3
    Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary
    I kick the narrative, this is legendary
    The good Samaritan, good thespian
    Like a polygamist, with a twist
    Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess
    I hold a lady's interest, I just met
    The love scholar, she the teacher's pet
    Every other eve we'd meet and make each other sweat
    I feel triumph with no strings
    Just a fling to have fun with
    I be out in London, Camden
    Huntin' for the answers, why did God take away the homie?
    I can't stand it
    I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
    Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
    Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heartbreaker
    Like smoke, girls linger 'round a player
    Yeah-yuh

    I never wanted you to be my man
    I just need your company
    Don't want to get dependent on
    Your time or who you spend it on
    Or lose the way you love me
    Like smoke, I hung around
    And be your balance

    [Nas]
    Yo, this recession is a test
    It's affecting my complexion
    Misdirecting my affection
    My concerns of bill collections
    The facts is the taxes, they after me
    Chapter three, my property
    My handlers, they dealt with me improperly
    I say some things I should probably keep privately
    Evaluate the world bank trusts like I'm IEG
    This fly sweet bourgeoisie
    Tall freak, she wouldn't protest with me at Wall Street
    She says, no you're so deep
    I said, no let's go thru it
    Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Lewis
    She said, my man you needs to laugh sometime
    Classifies me as a bore, I told her have some wine
    You colder than penguin pussy at her her dismay
    She's thinkin' that's just so silly to say
    But if you really think about it hussy
    See a penguin, he drags his ass on the ground all day
    And there's a drag
    And it's a bust and you're in tune with just lust
    I'm thru with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?
    The smoke I puff
    Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whiskey Mist
    on Mayfair
    I hope I meet some Monie Loves so she can show me love
    NYC to UK I might stay there
    Everybody in the club tonight say, "Yeah"
    You know how me and Amy are, straight players

    I never wanted you to be my man
    I just need your company
    Don't want to get dependent on
    Your time or who you spend it on
    Or lose the way you love me
    Like smoke, I hung around
    And be your balance
    Ohh, ohh, ooooohh, ohh



    Valerie
    Well sometimes I go out by myself
    And I look across the water
    And I think of all the things, what you're doing
    And in my head I paint a picture

    'Cause since I've come on home
    Well my body's been a mess
    And I miss your ginger hair
    And the way you like to dress
    Won't you come on over
    Stop making a fool out of me
    Why won't you come on over Valerie?
    (Valerie) x3

    Did you have to go to jail?
    Put your house up on for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
    I hope you didn't catch a tan,
    I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for you
    Are you shoppin' anywhere,
    Changed the colour of you hair, are you busy?
    And did you have to pay the fine?
    You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?

    'Cause since I've come on home,
    Well my body's been a mess
    And I miss your ginger hair
    And the way you like to dress
    Won't you come on over
    Stop making a fool out of me
    Why won't you come on over Valerie?
    (Valerie) x3

    Well sometimes I go out by myself
    And I look across the water
    And I think of all the things, what you're doing
    And in my head I make a picture

    'Cause since I've come on home,
    Well my body's been a mess
    And I miss your ginger hair
    And the way you like to dress

    Why won't you come on over Valerie?

    Yeah Valerie
    The Girl From Ipanema
    Tall and tanned and young and lovely
    The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    And when she passes each man she passes goes Aaah!

    When she walks it's like a samba
    That swings so cool and sways so gentle
    That when she passes each man she passes goes Aaah!

    Oh, how I watch her so sadly
    How can I tell her I love her
    I would give my heart gladly

    But each day when she walks to the sea
    She looks straight ahead not at me

    Tall and tanned and young and lovely
    The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    And when she passes I go...

    The girl, the girl, the girl
    From Ipanema, from Ipanema

    I want her so badly
    How can I tell her I love her
    I would give my heart gladly

    But each day when she walks to the sea
    She looks straight ahead not at me

    Tall and tanned and young and lovely
    The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    And when she passes I smile but she doesn't see
    She ain't looking at me
    Half Time
    Simple sweet guitar
    Humbled by the bass
    So when the beat kicks in
    Everything falls into place
    And it overpowers me
    I can't help but dance
    You can try to stop me now
    But you won't get the chance

    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change
    See it from a different view
    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change

    Rhythm floods my heart
    The melody it feeds my soul
    The tune tears me apart
    And it swallows me whole
    You should thank your lucky stars
    'Cause the music is a gift
    And it's stronger than all else
    Provides me with uplift

    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change
    See it from a different view
    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change

    My lyrics revealing
    Some natural vibe
    Somekind of laidback feeling
    Oh, just let it ride
    And when Frank Sinatra sings
    It's too much to take
    So I sing the standard shit
    It pacifies my ache

    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change
    See it from a different view
    Half time
    Time to think it through
    Consider the change




    Wake Up Alone
    It's okay in the day I'm staying busy
    Tied up in love so I don't have to wonder where is he
    Got so sick of crying
    So just lately
    When I catch myself I do a 180
    I stay up clean the house
    At least I'm not drinking
    Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
    That silent sense of content
    That everyone gets
    Just disappears soon as the sun sets

    This face in my dreams sees in my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone

    If I was my heart
    I'd rather be restless
    The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
    This ache in my chest
    As my day is done now
    The dark covers me and I cannot run now
    My blood running cold
    I stand before him
    It's all I can do to assure him
    When he comes to me
    I drip for him tonight
    Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

    His face in my dreams sees in my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    Best Friends
    I can't wait to get away from you
    And surprisingly you hate me too
    We only communicate when we need to fight
    But we are best friends...right?

    You're too good at pretending you don't care
    There's enough resentment in the air
    Now you don't want me in the flat
    When you're home at night
    But we're best friends right?

    You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
    You know what all my faces mean
    And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
    Everything that happened in between

    Nicky's right when he says I can't win
    So I don't wanna tell you anything
    I can't even think about
    How you feel inside
    But we are best friends, right?

    I don't like the way you say my name
    You're always looking for someone to blame
    Now you want me to suffer just cause
    You was born wide
    But we are best friends right?

    You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
    You know what all my faces mean
    And its easy to smoke it up, forget
    Everything that happened in between

    So I had love for you when I was 4
    And there's no one I wanna smoke with more
    Someday I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the dro
    Cause we are best friends right, right, right, right?
    Because we are best friends right?
    Because we are best friends right?
    Body and Soul
    My heart is sad and lonely
    For you I sigh
    For you dear only
    Why haven't you seen it?
    I'm all for you
    Body and soul

    I spend my days
    In longing
    And wondering why
    It's me you're wronging
    I tell you I mean it
    I'm all for you
    Body and soul

    I can't believe it
    It's hard to conceive it
    That you'd turn away romance, oohh

    Are you pretending?
    It looks like the ending
    Unless I could have
    One more chance to prove, dear

    My life's a wreck you're making
    You know I'm yours
    For just the taking

    I'd gladly surrender
    Myself to you
    Body and soul

    Are you pretending?
    It looks like the ending
    Unless I can have
    One more chance to prove, dear

    My life's a wreck you're making
    You know I'm yours
    For just the taking

    I'd gladly surrender
    Myself to you
    Body and soul
     
    A Song For You
    I've been so many places in my life and time
    I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
    I've acted out my love in stages
    With ten thousand people watching
    But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

    I know your image of me is what I hope to be
    I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
    There's no one more important to me
    Darlin' can't you please see through me
    Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

    You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
    You came out in front and I was hiding
    But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together

    Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
    I love you in a place where there's no space or time
    I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together
    We were alone and I was singing this song for you

    You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
    You came out in front and I was hiding
    But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
    Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

    I love you in a place where there's no space or time
    I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together

    We were alone and I was singing this song for you
    We were alone and I was singing this song for you



    Rehab
    They tried to make me go to rehab,but I said,
    "No, no, no"
    Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll
    know, know, know
    I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
    He's tried to make me go to rehab,but I won't go, go, go

    I'd rather be at home with Ray
    I ain't got seventy days
    'Cause there's nothing,
    There's nothing you can teach me
    That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

    I didn't get a lot in class
    But I know we don't come in a shot glass

    They tried to make me go to rehab,but I said,
    "No, no, no"
    Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll
    know, know, know
    I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
    He's tried to make me go to rehab,but I won't go, go, go

    The man said, "Why do you think you're here?"
    I said, "I got no idea"
    I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
    So I always keep a bottle near

    He said, "I just think you're depressed"
    Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest"

    They tried to make me go to rehab,but I said,
    "No, no, no"
    Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll
    know, know, know

    I don't ever wanna drink again
    I just, ooh, I just need a friend
    I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
    Have everyone think I'm on the mend

    And it's not just my pride
    It's just 'til these tears have dried

    They tried to make me go to rehab,but I said,
    "No, no, no"
    Yes, I've been black and when I come back you'll
    know, know, know
    I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
    He's tried to make me go to rehab,but I won't go, go, go
    You Know I'm No Good
    Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
    Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
    You say what did you do with him today?
    And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

    'Cause you're my fella, my guy
    Hand me your Stella and fly
    By the time I'm out the door
    You're ten men down like Roger Moore

    I cheated myself
    Like I knew I would
    I told you, I was trouble
    You know that I'm no good

    Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy
    He's in the place, but I can't get joy
    Thinking of you in the final throes, this is when my buzzer goes

    Run out to meet you, chips and pitta
    You say we'll marry 'cause you're not bitter
    There'll be none of him no more
    I cried for you on the kitchen floor

    I cheated myself
    Like I knew I would
    I told you, I was trouble
    You know that I'm no good

    Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
    We're like how we were again
    I'm in the tub you on the seat
    Lick your lips as I soak my feet

    Then you notice little carpet burn
    My stomach drop yeah and my guts churn
    You shrug and it's the worst
    To truly stuck the knife in first

    I cheated myself like I knew I would
    I told you I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
    I cheated myself, like I knew I would
    I told you I was trouble, you know that I'm no good


    Me And Mr. Jones
    Nobody stands in between me and my man,
    It's me and Mr.Jones (Me and Mr.Jones)

    Nobody stands in between me and my man
    'Cause it's Me and Mr.Jones (Me and Mr.Jones)



    Just Friends
    When will we get the time to be just friends
    It's never safe for us not even in the evening
    ‘cos I've been drinking
    Not in the morning where your shit works
    It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping
    And I've been thinking
    Can we be alone?
    Can we be alone?

    When will we get the time to be just friends
    When will we get the time to be just friends

    And no I'm not ashamed but the guilt will kill you
    If she don't first
    I'll never love you like her
    Though we need to find the time
    To just do this shit together
    For it gets worse
    I wanna touch you
    But that just hurts

    When will we get the time to be just just friends
    When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
    When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
    When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
    Just friends
    Back To Black
    He left no time to regret
    Kept his dick wet
    With his same old safe bet
    Me and my head high
    And my tears dry
    Get on without my guy
    You went back to what you knew
    So far removed from all that we went through
    And I tread a troubled track
    My odds are stacked
    I'll go back to black

    We only said goodbye with words
    I died a hundred times
    You go back to her
    And I go back to.....

    I go back to us

    I love you much
    It's not enough
    You love blow and I love puff

    And life is like a pipe
    And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

    We only said goodbye with words
    I died a hundred times
    You go back to her
    And I go back to

    Black, black, black, black, black, black, black
    I go back to
    I go back to

    We only said goodbye with words
    I died a hundred times
    You go back to her
    And I go back to

    We only said goodbye with words
    I died a hundred times
    You go back to her
    And I go back to black





    Love Is A Losing Game
    For you I was a flame
    Love is a losing game
    Five storey fire as you came
    Love is a losing game

    Why do I wish I'd never played
    Oh what a mess we made
    And now the final frame
    Love is a losing game

    Played out by the band
    Love is a losing hand
    More than I could stand
    Love is a losing hand

    Self professed... profound
    Till the chips were down
    ...know you're a gambling man
    Love is a losing hand

    Though I'm rather blind
    Love is a fate resigned
    Memories mar my mind
    Love is a fate resigned

    Over futile odds
    And laughed at by the gods
    And now the final frame
    Love is a losing game
    Tears Dry On Their Own
    All I'll can ever be to you
    Is a darkness that we know,
    And this regret I got accustomed to.
    Once it was so right
    When we were at our high,
    Waiting for you in the hotel at night.
    I knew I hadn't met my match,
    But every moment we could snatch,
    I don't know why I got so attached.
    It's my responsibility,
    And you don't owe nothing to me,
    But to walk away I have no capacity.

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    It takes the day but I'm grown
    And in your way,
    In this blue shade
    My tears dry on their own.

    I don't understand,
    Why do I stress a man,
    When there's so many bigger things at hand,
    We could've never had it all,
    We had to hit a wall,
    So this is an inevitable withdrawal.
    Even if I stop wanting you
    A perspective pushes true,
    I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
    I couldn't play myself again,
    I should just be my own best friend,
    Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    He takes the day but I'm grown
    And in your way,
    In this blue shade
    My tears dry on their own.

    So we are history,
    Your shadow covers me,
    The sky above
    A blaze

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    He takes the day but I'm grown
    And in your way,
    In this blue shade
    My tears dry on their own.

    I wish I could say no regrets,
    And no emotional debts,
    Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets.

    So we are history,
    Your shadow covers me,
    The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    He takes the day but I'm grown
    And in your way,
    In my blue shade
    My tears dry on their own.

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    He takes the day but I am grown
    And in your way,
    My deep shade,
    My tears dry on their own.

    He walks away,
    The sun goes down,
    He takes the day but I'm grown
    And in your way,
    My deep shade,
    My tears dry...






    Wake Up Alone
    It's okay in the day I'm staying busy
    Tied up in love so I don't have to wonder where is he
    Got so sick of crying
    So just lately
    When I catch myself I do a 180
    I stay up clean the house
    At least I'm not drinking
    Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
    That silent sense of content
    That everyone gets
    Just disappears soon as the sun sets

    This face in my dreams sees in my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone

    If I was my heart
    I'd rather be restless
    The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
    This ache in my chest
    As my day is done now
    The dark covers me and I cannot run now
    My blood running cold
    I stand before him
    It's all I can do to assure him
    When he comes to me
    I drip for him tonight
    Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

    His face in my dreams sees in my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    Some Unholy War
    If my man was fighting,
    Some unholy war,
    I would be behind him,
    Straight shook up beside him,
    With a strength he didn't know,
    It's you I'm fighting for,
    He can't lose with me in tow,
    I refuse to let him go,
    At his side and drunk on pride,
    When he waits for the blow.

    Put it in writing,
    But who you writing for,
    Just us on kitchen floor,
    Justice done,
    Reciting my stomach stands still,
    Like you're reading my will,
    He still stands in spite of what his scars say,
    And I battle 'til this bitter finale,
    Just me, my dignity and this guitar case

    If my man was fighting some unholy war,
    And I will stand beside you,
    Who you dying for,
    B - I would have died too,
    I'd liked to,
    If my man was fighting,
    Some unholy war,
    If my man was fighting,
    Some unholy war,
    If my man was fighting,
    Some unholy war
    He Can Only Hold Her
    He can only hold her for so long
    The lights are on but no one's home
    She's so vacant Her soul is taken
    He thinks: "what's she running from?"

    How can he have her heart
    When it got stole?
    Though he tries to pacify her
    Whats inside her never dies

    Even if she's content in his warmth
    She is plagued with urgency
    Searching kisses
    The man she misses
    The man that he longs to be

    Now how can he have her heart
    When it got stole?
    So he tries to pacify her
    Cause what's inside her never dies

    So he tries to pacify her
    'Cause what's inside her, it never dies
    So he tries to pacify her
    'Cause what's inside her never dies.

    Hey Little Rich Girl
    I bought you a fur coat when you were fifteen
    You wore it to the disco, when everyone was in jeans

    But you were just a rich girl, only having fun
    Your warn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
    Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

    You left for London, when you were nineteen
    Had to pull off your nice clothes, just living on dreams
    A man in the bright lights took all that you own
    Now he's taken your freedom for a fate unknown

    But you were just a rich girl, only having fun
    Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
    Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

    Hey, little rich girl you've been away for so long
    And now little rich girl, i wrote you in this song
    Hey, little rich girl, baby, my love is gone
    And now little rich girl, I know where you belong

    At your dad's office party all the movies were blue
    You caused him so much heart ache, because the screen star was you
    You left for London, when you were nineteen
    Had to pull off your nice clothes, just living on dreams

    But you were just a rich girl, only having fun
    Your worn out dresses, brought stares from everyone
    Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?
    Hey, little rich girl where did you go wrong?

    To Know Him Is To Love Him
    To know know know him
    Is to love love love him
    Just to see that smile
    Makes my life worthwhile
    To know know know him
    Is to love love love him
    And I do, and I do, and I do

    Oh, I'll be good to him
    I'll bring joy to him
    Everyone says there'll come a day
    When I'll walk alongside of him
    To know know know him
    Is to love love love him
    And I do, I really do, and I do

    Why can't he see
    How blind can he be
    Someday he'll see
    That he was meant for me

    To know know know him
    Is to love love love him
    Just to see that smile
    Makes my life worthwhile
    To know know know him
    Is to love love love him
    And I do, I really do, and I do

    Stronger Than Me
    You should be stronger than me
    You been here seven years longer than me
    Don't you know you're supposed to be the man
    Not pale in comparison to who you think I am

    You always wanna talk it through, I don't care!
    I always have to comfort you when I'm there
    But that's what I need you to do, stroke my hair!

    Cos' I've forgotten all of young love's joy
    Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

    You should be stronger than me
    But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
    Why'd you always put me in control
    All I need is for my man to live up to his role

    Always wanna talk it through, I'm ok
    Always have to comfort you every day
    But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?

    Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
    Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

    He said 'the respect I made you earn
    Thought you had so many lessons to learn'
    I said 'You don't know what love is, get a grip!'
    Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script

    I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
    I just wanna rip your body over mine
    Please tell me why you think that's a crime

    I've forgotten all of young love's joy
    Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

    You should be stronger than me
    You should be stronger than me
    You should be stronger than me
    You should be stronger than me
    You Sent Me Flying
    Lent you Outsidaz and my new Badu
    While I was thinking you didn't have a clue
    Tough to sort files with your voice in my head
    So then I bribed you downstairs with a Malboro red
    So now I feel so small discovering you knew
    How much more torture would you have put me through?
    You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
    Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes

    And although my pride is not easy to disturb
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
    With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

    And although he is nothing in the scheme of my years
    It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears
    And I'm not used to this, no no, I observe, I don't chase
    So now I'm stuck with consequences, thrust in my face
    And the melodramas of my day deliver blows
    That surpass your rejection it just goes to show
    A simple attraction that reflects right back to me
    So I'm not as into you as I appear to be

    And although my pride's not easily disturbed
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
    With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this with you next to me

    His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
    Maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind
    It serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks
    Despite my frustation for the way that he thinks

    And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
    At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
    Didn't think you get my number down and such
    But I never hated myself for my age so much

    And although my pride's not easy to disturb
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
    With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

    And although my pride's not easy to disturb
    You sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
    With you battered jeans and your Beasties tee
    Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

    Cherry
    Her name is Cherry
    We've just met
    But already she knows me
    Better than you
    She understands me
    After eighteen years
    And you still don't see me
    Like you ought to do

    Maybe we could talk 'bout things
    If you was made of wood and strings
    While I love her every sound
    I don't know how to turn you down
    You're so thick and my patience thin
    So I got me a new best friend
    With a pickup that puts you to shame
    And Cherry is her name

    And when I'm lonely
    Cherry's there
    And she plays along
    While I sing out my blues
    I could be crying
    And you don't care
    You won't call me back
    You're stubborn as mule

    Maybe we could talk 'bout things
    If you was made of wood and strings
    You might think I've gone too far
    I'm talking 'bout my new guitar...




    Know You Now
    You're just a little boy underneath that hat
    You need your nerve to hide your ego, don't come with that
    You think everything is handed to you free
    But it's not that easy, no

    I gotta know you now
    We may never meet again
    I gotta know you now and then

    My girl says I'm too sensitive to ride with you
    But I'm not listening to her, mm hmm
    Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you
    You'll whisk your head back the way it were
    As you were

    I gotta know you now
    We may never meet again
    I gotta know you now and then

    I gotta know you now
    We may never meet again

    I gotta know you now
    We may never meet again


    Fuck Me Pumps
    When you walk in the bar
    And you dressed like a star
    Rockin' your F me pumps

    And the men notice you
    With your Gucci bag crew
    Can't tell who he's lookin' to

    Cuz you all look the same
    Everyone knows your name
    And that's you whole claim to fame

    Never miss a night
    Cuz your dream in life
    Is to be a footballer's wife

    You don't like players
    That's what you say-a
    But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
    You don't like ballers
    They don't do nothing for ya
    But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller

    You're more than a fan
    Lookin' for a man
    But you end up with one-nights-stands

    He could be your whole life
    If you got past one night
    But that part never goes right

    In the morning you're vexed
    He's onto the next
    And you didn't even get no taste

    Don't be too upset
    If they call you a skank
    Cuz like the news everyday you get pressed

    You don't like players
    That's what you say-a
    But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire
    Or them big ballers
    Don't do nothing for ya
    But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller

    You can't sit down right
    Cuz you jeans are too tight
    And your lucky its ladies night

    With your big empty purse
    Every week it gets worse
    At least your breasts cost more than hers

    So you did Miami
    Cuz you got there for free
    But somehow you missed the plane

    You did too much E
    Met somebody
    And spent the night getting cane

    Without girls like you
    There'd be no fun
    We'd go to the club and not see anyone
    Without girls like you
    There's no nightlife
    All those men just go home to their wives

    Don't be mad at me
    Cuz your brushing thirty
    And your old tricks no longer work

    You should have known from the job
    That you always get dumped
    So dust off your fuck me pumps




    I Heard Love Is Blind
    I couldn't resist him
    His eyes were like yours
    His hair was exactly the shade of brown
    He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
    It was dark and I was lying down

    You are everything, he means nothing to me
    I can't even remember his name
    Why're you so upset?
    Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when
    I came

    What do you expect?
    You left me here alone
    I drank so much and needed to touch
    Don't overreact, I pretended he was you
    You wouldn't want me to be lonely

    How can I put it so you understand?
    I didn't let him hold my hand
    But he looked like you, I guess he looked like you
    No he wasn't you
    But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
    It's not cheating, you were on my mind

    Yes he looked like you
    But I heard love is blind


    Moody's Mood For Love
    There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
    Pretty baby you are the soul, snaps my control
    Such a funny thing but everytime your near me I never can behave
    You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
    There's music all around me
    Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
    Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
    Come on and do with me any little thing that you want to
    Anything, baby just let me get next to you

    So am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
    Bright as stars that shine up above you
    In the clear blue sky, how I worry 'bout you
    Just can't live my life without you
    Baby come here, don't have no fear
    Oh, is there a wonder why
    I'm really feeling in the mood for love

    So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
    This little dream might fade away
    There I go talking out of my head again baby
    Won't you come and put our two hearts together
    That would make me strong and brave
    Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
    Now if there's a cloud up above us
    Go on and let in rain
    I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
    Oh my baby won't you please let me love you
    And get a release from this awful misery

    What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
    I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
    Don't you understand me, now baby please
    Pull yourself together, do it soon
    My soul's on fire, come on and take
    I'll be what you make me, my darling

    Oh baby, you make me feel so good
    Let me take you by the hand
    Come let me visit out there
    In that new promised land

    Maybe there we can find
    A good place to keep a lovin' state of mind
    I'm so tired of being without it
    And never knew what love was all about
    James Moody would you come on hit me
    You can blow now if you want to, I'm through


    (There Is) No Greater Love
    There is no greater love
    Than what I feel for you
    No sweeter song, no heart so true

    There is no greater thrill
    Than what you bring to me
    No sweeter song
    Than what you sing, sing to me

    You're the sweetest thing
    That I've ever known
    And to think that you are mine alone

    There is no greater love
    In all the world, it's true
    No greater love
    Than what I feel for you
    In My Bed
    Wish I could say it breaks my heart
    Like you did in the beginning
    It's not that we grew apart
    A nightingale no longer singing

    It's something I know you can't do
    Separate sex with emotion
    I sleep alone, the sun comes up
    You're still clinging to that notion

    Everything is slowing down
    River of no return
    Recognize my every sound
    There is nothing new to learn

    You'll never get my mind right
    Like two ships passing in the night
    In the night, in the night
    Want the same thing when we lay
    Otherwise mine's a different way
    A different way from where I'm going
    Oh, it's you again listen this isn't a reunion
    So sorry if I turn my head
    Yours is a familiar face
    But that don't make your place safe
    In my bed, my bed, my bed

    I never thought my memory
    Of what we had could be intruded
    But I couldn't let it be
    I needed it as much as you did

    Now it's not hard to understand
    Why we just speak at night
    The only time I hold your hand
    Is to get the angle right

    Everything is slowing down
    River of no return
    You recognize my every sound
    There's nothing new to learn

    You'll never get my mind right
    Like two ships passing in the night
    In the night, in the night
    Want the same thing when we lay
    Otherwise mine's a different way
    A different way from where I'm going
    Oh, it's you again, listen this isn't a reunion
    So sorry if I turn my head
    Yours is a familiar face
    But that don't make your place safe
    In my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed
    Take The Box
    Your neighbours were screaming
    I don't have a key for downstairs
    So I punched all the buzzers hoping he would
    be there
    And now my head's hurting
    You say I always get my own way
    But you were in the shower when I got there
    And I don' wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say

    You were so beautiful before today
    And then I heard what you say...man that was ugly

    The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Frank's in there and I don't care
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Just take it
    Take the box
    Take the box

    I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it
    should be
    I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me...you know me
    Feel so fucking angry, don't wanna be reminded of you
    But when I left my shit in your kitchen
    I said goodbye to your bedroom and smiled at you

    Mr False Pretence,
    you don't make sense
    I just don't know you
    But you make me cry,
    where's my kiss goodbye?
    I think I love you

    The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Frank's in there and I don't care
    (Put it in the box, put it in the box)
    Now take it
    Take the box
    Just take it, take it
    Take the box
    And now just take the box
    Take the box



    October Song
    Today my bird flew away
    Gone to find her big blue jay
    Starlight before she took flight
    I sung a lullaby of birdland every night
    I sang a lullaby every night
    Sung for my Ava every night

    Ava was the morning, now she's gone
    She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
    In the sanctuary she has found
    Birds surround her sweet sound
    And Ava flies in paradise
    And Ava flies in paradise

    With dread I woke in my bed
    Two shooting pains up in my head
    Lovebird, my beautiful bird
    Spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
    She spoke until one day she couldn't be heard
    And she just stopped singing

    Ava was the morning, now she's gone
    She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
    In her sanctuary she has found
    Birds surround her sweet sound
    And Ava flies in paradise
    And Ava flies in paradise
    What Is It About Men?
    Understand once he was a family man
    So surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
    Emulate all the shit my mother hated
    I can't help but demonstrate my Freudian
    fate
    My alibi for taking your guy
    History repeats itself, it fails to die
    And animal agression is my downfall
    I don't care 'bout what you got, I want it all

    It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my
    bed
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
    What is it 'bout men?

    I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
    And I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
    And I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
    For behavioural patterns that stick over the years

    It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my
    bed
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
    Now my destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?

    Ooh it's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my
    bed
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
    My destructive side has grown a mile wide
    And I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
    What is it 'bout men?



    Help Yourself
    When I walk in your shoes
    I understand a man confused
    There must have been but I don't care
    I feel the way your soul does there
    Darling they empathise
    Looking through your bloodshot eyes
    And I know you you're so frustrated
    Above we all become what we once hated
    Be slight nobody can be that wise

    I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
    I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
    You can only get so much from someone yeah
    You can get so much from me
    I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

    You've got a degree a in philosophy
    So you think you're cleverer than me
    But I'm not some dumb drama queen
    Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
    So what do you expect from me
    To hold your head above the sea
    And there are you even though you're bigger
    Cos don't you know you push my tiny figure
    And anyway we're still so young
    And this isn't yet the day

    I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
    I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
    You can only get so much from someone yeah
    I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

    You might be twenty-five but in my mind
    I see you at sixteen years or most of the time
    And I'm just a child and you're full grown
    And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah
    I'm nothing like I've ever known
    Amy, Amy, Amy
    Attract me
    'til it hurts to concentrate
    Distract me
    Stop me doing work I hate

    And just to show him how it feels
    I walk past his desk in heels
    One leg resting on a chair
    From the side he pulls my hair

    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Although I've been here before
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    He's just too hard to ignore
    Masculine you spin a spell
    I think you'd wear me well
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Where's my moral parallel?

    It takes me
    Half an hour to write a verse
    He makes me
    Imagine it from bad to worse

    My weakness for the other sex
    Every time his shoulders flex
    Way the shirt hangs off his back
    My train of thought spins right off track

    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Although I've been here before
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    He's just too hard to ignore
    Masculine he spins a spell
    I think he'd wear me well
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    So where's my moral parallel?

    His own style
    Right down to his Diesel jeans
    Immobile
    I can't think by any means

    Underwear peeks out the top
    I'll let you know when you should stop
    From the picture my mum drew
    I know I'd look good on you

    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Although I've been here before
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    You're just too hard to ignore
    Masculine you spin a spell
    I think you'd wear me well
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    So where's my moral parallel?

    Creative energy abused
    All my lyrics go unused

    but when I clock black hair, blue eyes
    A teardrop I fantasize

    (Amy Amy Amy)
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Although I've been here before
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    He's just too hard to ignore
    Masculine he spins a spell
    I think he'd wear me well
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    So where's my moral parallel?

    (Amy Amy Amy)
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    Although I've been here before
    (Amy Amy Amy)
    He's just too hard to ignore
    Masculine he spins a spell
    I think he'd wear me well

    So where's my moral parallel?



    Someone To Watch Over Me
    There's a saying old, says that love is blind
    Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
    So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

    Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
    He's the big affair I cannot forget
    Only man I ever think of with regret

    I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
    Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

    There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
    I hope that he, turns out to be
    Someone who'll watch over me

    I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
    I know I could, always be good
    To one who'll watch over me

    Although he may not be the man some
    Girls think of as handsome
    To my heart he carries the key

    Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
    Follow my lead, oh, how I need
    Someone to watch over me

    (bridge)

    Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
    Follow my lead, oh, how I need
    Someone to watch over me

    Someone to watch over me



    What It Is?
    I can see you ahead of me
    But I'm not always forward thinkin'
    I tell you what you want to hear
    It depends on what I've been drinkin'

    Cause everything I do or say
    Makes it hard for you to stay
    We both know What it is

    Nowadays we talk too much
    Like your forgetting all the good shit
    You decide what's wrong with me
    I always used to let you say

    But now I like to think out loud
    Your runnin' with some different crowd
    We both know what it is

    I don't know you anymore
    Supposed 2 be the man
    That I live my life by
    And your attitude become a bore
    And I'm so tired I cant even cry

    Mr Ultra sensitive
    Ill never let myself forget you
    Messed each other up you know
    So Im sorry if I upset you

    tomorrow is another day
    So Ill call you cause thats OK
    We both know what it is

    I dont know you anymore
    Supposed to be the man
    That I live my life by
    And you're attitude become a bore
    And I'm so tired
    I can't even cry

    Relationship doesn't remain
    We resonate on different flames
    I could cut you down again
    If you were like all other men
    If you were like all other men
    I know that I could shut you down again
    But my friend, but my friend

    I don't know you anymore
    Supposed to be the man
    That I live my life by
    And your attitude become a bore
    And I'm so tired I cant even cry

    I don't know you anymore
    Supposed to be the man
    That I live my life by
    And your attitude become a bore
    And I'm so tired I cant even cry

    One thing isn't very clear, my love
    Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
    Graduation's almost here, my love
    Teach me tonight

    Round Midnight
    It begins to tell
    'Round midnight, 'round midnight
    I do pretty well till after sundown
    And suppertime I'm feelin' sad
    But it really gets bad
    'Round midnight

    Memories always start
    'Round midnight, 'round midnight
    I haven't got the heart to stand those memories
    So when, when my heart is still with you
    Yes ol' midnight knows it, too

    'Fore 'round midnight
    When it comes 'round
    So let our hearts take wings
    'Round midnight, 'round midnight
    Let the angels sing for your returning
    Till our love is safe and sound
    And ol' midnight comes around
    Cause I'm feelin' sad
    And it really gets bad
    'Round midnight, 'round midnight
