Lyrics

Josephine

     by Jakob Dylan

I feel pretty good
I feel all right
And I've been thinkin' maybe
Well I could spend the night
I know you've been sad
I know I've been bad
But if you'd let me
Make you ribbons from a paper bag
Chorus:
Josephine
You're so good to me
And I know
It ain't easy
Josephine
You're so sweet
You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
I won't make a sound
I'll sleep on the ground
When you awake I will
Drive you into town
I missed your smile
Your schoolgirl style
But I never had much fun
Maybe the very first mile
(chorus)
Don't you know
I watched you walkin' home from school
With your friends on the old playgrounds
You never looked so down
Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine?
I've disconnected my heart
And cut myself on the wires
Josephine
I know I was wrong
I knew all along
But I got so far from my home
I never thought I'd be so lonesome
(chorus)

No Such Thing 

John Mayer 

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
"Take a seat, take your life
Plot it out in black and white"
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is hiding up my sleeve

They love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
But something's better on the other side

I wanna run though the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing
As the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take
The so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits, mayber transfers
They read all the books but they can't
Find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older

I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

(chorus) I am invincible as long as I'm alive

(chorus)
I just can't wait 'til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for 

Your Body Is A Wonderland 

John Mayer 

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder
I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland

Something about the way
Your hair falls in your face
I lobe the shape you take when crawling
Towards the pillowcase

You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

(chorus)
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

(chorus)

Martha

            Tom Waits

Operator, number, please: it's been so many years
Will she remember my old voice while I fight the tears?
Hello, hello there, is this Martha? this is old Tom Frost,
And I am calling long distance, don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more, now Martha please recall,
Meet me out for coffee, where we'll talk about it all.
And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.
And I feel so much older now, and you're much older too,
How's your husband? and how's the kids? you know that I got married too?
Luck that you found someone to make you feel secure,
'Cause we were all so young and foolish, now we are mature.
And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.
And I was always so impulsive, I guess that I still am,
And all that really mattered then was that I was a man.
I guess that our being together was never meant to be.
And Martha, Martha, I love you can't you see?
And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we'd packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.
And I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you...

Up From Under

                                Wallflowers                                        ~Liv, I love the CD!
I'm down here in the well
looking back at the hill
I thank heavens I fell 'cause I'm on,
I must look more 
like myself
Now everyone is so kind
everyone looks alike
A long lost friend of mine,
I'm on top of the world again
When I'm looking,
up from under babylon,
I had a home in the fields
Earned my wage in the factories there 
And I was raised by the mill
And I worked with my brothers there
I told my mother I'd always write
Headed west for the coast
With the big city lights
Now mama I'm so sorry I'd forgotten 
But now I'm looking 
up from under babylon
Mom tell me how far I've been
How deep was I in
Tell me how I conceived
The vanity to believe
that I would not be outnumbered
by the thumbs I have been under
Stray dogs on the street
Learn how to beg, steal borrow and cheat,
and in the dead summer heat, 
I fell asleep with blood on my teeth,
but those days before I met you girl,
were just like icecream falling down
on the shoes of my world,
I'm so happy you're my friend
When we're looking
up from under babylon. 
 

The Invisible Band, Travis
By: Fran Healy

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
That there was no one there to hold
Before, I swore, that I would be alone forever more

Oh, wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day and I'm glad you feel the same
Cos to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Let's watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
And I am here to help you with the load 

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go
