Time Has Told Me [Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left 1969]

------------------------------------------
Time has told me
you’re a rare, rare find
a troubled cure
for a troubled mind.

And time has told me
not to ask for more
for someday our Ocean
will find it’s shore.

So I’ll leave the ways of making me be
what I really don’t want to be,
leave the ways that are making me love
what I really don’t want to love.

Time has told me
you came with the dawn
a soul with no footprint
a rose with no thorn.
Your tears they tell me
there’s really no way
of ending your troubles
with things you can say.

And time will tell you
to stay by my side
to keep on trying
‘til theres no more to hide.

So leave the ways that are making you be
what you really don’t want to be,
leave the ways that are making you love
what you really don’t want to love.

Time has told me
you’re a rare, rare find
a troubled cure
for a troubled mind.

And time has told me
not to ask for more
for someday our ocean
will find its shore.

Years On Me [Headswim - Despite Yourself 1997]

------------------------------------------
I don't have anywhere else left to go,
thought I could hold on but I let it all go
thought I could hold on, but I let it all go.

And I don't have anything else left to say,
thought I should speak but the words ran away
thought I should speak but the words ran away.

And I don't have anything else left to like,
trying to love but just turning a spike inside you
turning the spike inside you.

I don't have anywhere else I can look,
nowhere where I cannot see what I took from your life,
let you waste your years on me,
let you waste all your years on me,
a million years.

Street Spirit [Fade Out] [Radiohead - The Bends 1995]

------------------------------------------
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
all these things into position
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
fade out again
and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain I am under
be a world child, form a circle
before we all go under
fade out again
and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
all these things into position
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
fade out again
and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
iMMersE your soUL in LOVE

Tourniquet [Headswim - Despite Yourself 1997]

------------------------------------------
Life come undone
mortal coil sprung
lifted your drifted
welcoming sun
some days I feel brave
riding the air waves
locked in this room

Give me some room
scratching the pavement
grazed knees and broken nails
some small token of how life goes by
I'd love to see you try

I won't steal your pain
just tighten the tourniquet
you're losing the feeling
and I won't bring you down
ripped and twisted again
you're losing the feeling

I'm counting the hours
the beauty in dead flowers
heart that keeps you warm
the things you don't think about
like why we feel so old
eyes like pissholes in the snow
wanting to leave

I won't steal your pain
just tighten the tourniquet
you're losing the feeling
and I won't bring you down
ripped and twisted again
you're losing the feeling

All your life you stayed in tune
singing songs, songs for the doomed
it's always lonely being free
never what you wanted to be

And I won't steal your pain
just tighten the tourniquet
you're losing the feeling
and if I bring you down
you're too happy to be saved
losing the feeling
ripped and twisted again

Release [Pearl Jam - Ten 1991]

------------------------------------------
I see the world
feel the chill
which way to go
windowsill.
I see the words
on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain...

Oh dear dad
can you see me now?
I am myself
like you somehow.
I'll ride the wave
where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
release me...

Oh dear dad
can you see me now?
I am myself
like you somehow.
I'll wait up in the dark
for you to speak to me
I'll open up
release me
release me
release me
and release me...

Just Like U Said It Would B
[Sinéad O'Connor - The Lion and The Cobra 1987]

------------------------------------------
I will walk in the garden
feel religion within
I will learn how to run with the big boys
I will learn how to sink and to swim.
And there's talk in the houses
and people dancing in rings.
Ah, when you close my eyes, babe
I can see most everything
I can see most everything...

It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b
It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b

I can see too many mouths open
Too many eyes closed, ears closed
Not enough minds open
Too many legs open
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me do
Why isn't it, why, why
I don't see why I listen, why, why.

When I've walked in the garden
when I'm walking off stage
when everything's quiet
Will you stay?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?
I said will you be my lover?
I said will you be my babe?
when I lay down my head
at the end of my day
nothing would,
nothing would please me better
than I find that you're there
when I lay down my head
at the end of my day;
nothing would,
nothing would please me better
than I find that you're there when I wake...

Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b

Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?

Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b

Clinging to the Wreckage [Headswim - Despite Yourself 1997]

------------------------------------------
Today I'll start again in sunrise
I can dream and see you there
you're frozen in my stare
they can care enough to pretend
we can all pretend to care
we can all pretend to care

And I'm clinging to the wreckage, and I'm
losing something I'll never find
clinging to the wreckage
and I'm...
going down there

Today she goes again
leave flowers on the shore
elegant yet meaningless her lure
so lucid seemed the days
when we would walk
now I can never walk away
I can never walk away

And I'm clinging to the wreckage, and I'm
losing something I'll never find
clinging to the wreckage, and I'm...
I'm going down there

Today I'll start again in sunrise
I can dream and see you there
you're frozen in my stare
they can care enough to pretend
we can all pretend to care
we can all pretend to care

And I'm clinging to the wreckage, and I'm
losing something I'll never find
clinging to the wreckage, and I'm...
losing something I'll never find

Hide and Seek [Howard Jones - Human's Lib 1984]

------------------------------------------
There was a time when there was nothing at all
nothing at all
just a distant hum.
There was a being and he lived on his own
he had no one to talk to and nothing to do.

He drew up the plans
learnt to work with his hands
a million years passed by and his work was done.

[and his words were these]
Hope you find it in everything
everything that you see
hope you find it in everything
everything that you see
hope you find it
hope you find it
hope you find me in you.

So she had built her elaborate home
with its ups and its downs
its rain and its sun.
She decided that her work, it was done
time to have fun
and found a game to play.

Then as part of the game
she completely forgot
where she'd hidden herself
and she spent the rest of her time
trying to find the parts.

Hope you find it in everything
everything that you see
hope you find it in everything
everything that you see
hope you find it
hope you find it
Hope you find me in you...

There was a time when there was nothing at all
nothing at all
just a distant hum.

Don't Give Up [Peter Gabriel - So 1986]

------------------------------------------
In this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail.

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no-one wants you when you lose.

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good.

Though I saw it all around
never thought that I could be affected
thought that we'd be last to go
it's so strange the way things turn.

Drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside;
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground.

Don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong.

Rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be all right;
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up.

Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing.

Moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs.

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
there's a place where we belong...

Wishing I Was Naive [Headswim - Despite Yourself 1997]

------------------------------------------
Never cared for yesterday
never thought I'd be ashamed
even in the sun so close to pain
wishing I was naive again

This one is for love
in the sun kicking up dust
never thought you'd fall
when it comes, it comes to us all

And I'm missing you now
more than I'm worth
becoming a curse

Wish I was naive
you could comfort me
say anything you please
I'm only crying you see

Sad to see you fade
sad to see you go
come back yesterday
I won't be so cold

And I'm missing you now
more than I'm worth
becoming a curse
and I'm missing you now
more than I'm worth
becoming a curse

Wish I was naive
you could comfort me
say anything you please
I'm only crying you see

Wish I was naive
you could comfort me
say anything you please
I'm only crying you see

I'm only crying you see
