Now when we first met you promised you'd get a house on the hill with a pool well, this trailer stays wet and we're swimming in debt and you want me to go back to school I bought these new heel, did my nails had my hair done just right I thought this new dress was a sure bet for romance tonight well, it's perfectly clear between the TV and beer I won't get so much as a kiss And as I head out the door, I turn around to be sure Did I shave my legs for this?

When it’s been out of sight and out of mind for such a long time That’s how one forgets. So I reached in the back of my closet, pulled it out And tried it on and it still fits. Some cover their pain up with Lots of MAC make-up But I can’t help but blush.

Loose lips might sink ships but loose kisses take trips to San Francisco, double dutch disco, Tech tv hottie, do it for scotty Do it for the living and do it for the dead Do it for the monsters under your bed Do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom Broken hearts hurt but they make us strong and We won't stop until somebody calls the cops And even then we'll start again and just pretend that Nothing ever happened.

The absolute best of Tina Arena, imo, besides Burn
Chains
Your arms are warm but they make me feel As if they're made of cold, cold steel A simple kiss like a turnin' key A little click and the lock's on me Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands I won't admit to where I am But I know baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I pretend I can always leave Free to go whenever I please But then the sound of my desperate calls Echo off these dungeon walls I've crossed the line from mad to sane A thousand times and back again I love you baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains Should have known passing through the gate That once inside I could not escape I never thought this could happen to me Never thought this is where I'd be But baby, baby, baby, look at me Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains I'm in chains I never thought this is where I'd be Never thought this could happen to me No Shame It took me twenty years to stand up straight and tall It took me all of twenty seconds for everything to fall I don't worry about my pride anymore 'Cause pride is something, I just can't afford I'd go beggin' in the rain If I could spare you any pain When it comes to you, I have no shame No shame, no shame There's no life by your side, I wouldn't live There's no sin you could commit that I would not forgive I don't try to understand anymore 'Cause I just know my world begins at your door If I could keep you from the cold If I could make your tears my own I'd do anything, I have no shame No shame - for the first time in my life No shame - to get it right for you I wouldn't think twice No shame - nothin' I won't sacrifice There's nothing I won't do baby To get you through the night Fallin', fallin' I'll be there to reach you baby To catch you when you're cryin' I'll be callin', I'll be callin' With a love for you that no name I have no shame I'd go beggin' in the rain If I could spare you any pain When it comes to you, I have no shame No shame - for the first time in my life No shame - to get it right for you I wouldn't think twice No shame - nothin' I won't sacrifice There's nothing I won't do baby To get you through the night Sixteen Years I'm leaving now Sixteen years and comes to this Parting lines and a final kiss Your hands are shaking A cab waits in the rain Now I've never felt more alone I can't believe that these days are gone After all that we've begun You say you'll be there I just have to call Must you choose between Me and all your dreams When you can be free right here with me Those sixteen years Don't they mean anything to you How can you leave With so much to lose When you walk away You're taking the morning from my day Show me the pain That's inside of you I need to understand Sixteen years now, my thoughts run wild How you held me like a child I'll fight these tears But I can hide the way I feel When you find what you want Isn't it all you need When you wanna run right back to me Those sixteen years Don't they mean anything to you How can you leave There's so much to lose Oh, when you walk away You're taking the morning from my day Show me the pain that's inside of you Time moves on And you'll be gone And I hold on to the finer things I need to keep me strong But one sweet day We'll put them all away I'll hope you know that no one stays the same Those sixteen years Don't they mean anything to you How can you leave There's so much to lose Yeah When you walk away You're taking the morning from my day Show me the pain that's inside of you I need to understand Someday you'll understand Yes you will Show Me Heaven There you go Flashing fever from your eyes Hey babe Come over here and shut them tight I'm not denying We're flying above it all Hold my hand Don't let me fall You've such amazing grace I've never felt this way Oh, show me heaven, cover me Leave me breathless Oh, show me heaven please Here I go I'm shaking just like the breeze Hey babe I need your head to steady me I'm not denying I'm frightened a much as you Though I'm barely touching you I've shivers down my spine, and it feels divine Oh, show me heaven, cover me Leave me breathless Oh, show me heaven please Do you know what it's like to dream a dream Baby hold me tight and let this be Oh, show me heaven, cover me Leave me breathless Oh, show me heaven please If I Was a River If I was the sun I would shine my light To light your world If I was the rain I would wash your tears away I keep your world right Be your light in the night If I was the sky I would rain down love into your life If I was a river You would be my ocean Every stream would lead me to your arms And if If I was a river I'll flow to you forever Love would run forever in this heart of mine If I, if I If I was a river If I was the wind I would carry you Above the clouds And if I was the earth I would be your solid ground If I could I'll be All you ever would need I would be your world You're the only world there is for me If I was a river You would be my ocean Every stream would lead me to your arms And if If I was a river I'll flow to you forever Love would run forever in this heart of mine If I, if I If I was a river I'll run into your arms Into your arms Oh yeah I'll run to you baby Oh yeah If I was a river You would be my ocean Every stream would lead me to your arms And if If I was a river I'll flow to you forever Love would run forever in this heart of mine If I, if I If I was a river Last edited by Gemme; 04-10-2010 at 04:24 PM. |

“Wrong Side of Town” Tell me a story about something pretty A guardian angel up in the sky And make me believe you no hill for a climber Ask me no questions and tell you no lies I’m hanging on, my mouth hanging open World spinning faster, round and round Hey what’s the matter, you look unexpected Like you took a right turn on the wrong side of town You left the light on looking so hopeful You’re just pretending you know what you’ve done Crying your heart out, nobody’s looking It’s not getting better, we’re not having fun I'm hanging on,my mouth hanging open World spinning faster, round and round Hey what's the matter,you look unexpected Like you took a right turn on the wrong side of town Jesus was wrong about all the sinners That we’d take a stump for a sign of the times Running for shelter like nobody’s business You don’t even notice the face of the sky So many answers just loose talking whispers Pick up some pieces and gobble them down Don’t talk in words so I won’t understand you Hold up your fingers and cry like a clown

No more politics I know what's next call me hypocrite and burn down bridges
I got a river running through my neck I got a river running through my heart And all the blood it spills, runs to the ocean While the oceans rise up, mingle with the air Growing finger tips and the semen stained covers Singing mercy me, oh God, oh ecstasy, oh yeah right there Fantastic chick strawberry hips light me a candle blow out my wish Unconscious ear turns towards the sun knows where the warmth is knows what it wants Wants to be filled in wants to be filled up wanna be reborn wanna be reloved All the babies born swim from the ocean While the rain that falls runs into the sea growing crazy mixed up frogs preach the coming of disaster singing mercy me oh God oh hell and ecstasy El Dorado blues nowhere left the run grandma got plutonium under the rug Fanatical bliss fanatical fire fanatics don't let their babies go dancing You repress the beach you repress the wine your mama mistook you for a lion She cut off your head she don't know you're dead and all the streets you ruled run red Mmmm the grass grows green where the homeless man sleeps and the mystic sneezes rain showers are like your polka dotted panties and the heat grows desire as her white back arches under a hot blue sky sunny afternoon in the park No more politics I know whats next You call me hypocrite Come on burn in down

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend Keep you in the dark And so it all began Send in your skeletons Sing as their bones go marching in... again The need you buried deep The secrets that you keep are at the ready Are you ready? I'm finished making sense Done pleading ignorance That whole defense Spinning infinity, but The wheel is spinning me It's never ending, never ending Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? In time or so I'm told I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well The page is out of print We are not permanent We're temporary, temporary Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? I'm the voice inside your head You refuse to hear I'm the face that you have to face Mirrored in your stare I'm what's left, I'm what's right I'm the enemy I'm the hand that will take you down Bring you to your knees So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one. You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one. (You know they all... pretend) You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one. (You know they all... pretend) You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? |

I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard My ship would leave the country But I'd rather swim ashore Without a life vest I'd be stuck again Wish I was much more masculine Maybe then I could learn to swim Like 'fourteen miles away' Now floating up and down I spin, colliding into sound Like whales beneath me diving down I'm sinking to the bottom of my Everything that freaks me out The lighthouse beam has just run out I'm cold as cold as cold can be... be... I want to swim away but don't know how Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean Let the waves up, take me down Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah Let the rain of what I feel right now come down Let the rain come down Where is the coastguard? I keep looking each direction For a spotlight, give me something I need something for protection Maybe flotsam, junk will do just fine the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind I'm treading for my life, believe me (How can I keep up this breathing?) Not knowing how to think I scream aloud, begin to sink My legs and arms are broken down With envy for the solid ground I'm reaching for the life within me How can one man stop his ending I thought of just your face Relaxed, and floated into space I want to swim away but don't know how Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean Let the waves up, take me down Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah Let the rain of what I feel right now come down Let the rain come down Now waking to the sun I calculate what I had done Like jumping from the bow, yeah Just to prove I knew how, yeah It's midnight's late reminder of The loss of her, the one I love My will to quickly end it all Set front row in my need to fall Into the ocean, end it all Into the ocean, end it all Into the ocean, end it all Into the ocean...end it all [Zayra] Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) I want to swim away but don't know how Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean Let the waves take me down Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah Let the rain of what I feel right now come down Let the rain come down Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) (Into space) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) (I thought of just your face) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye) |

Are you breathing
What I'm breathing Are your wishes The same as mine Are you needing What I'm needing I'm waiting for a sign My hands tremble My heart aches Is it you calling Is it you calling If I'm alone in this I don't think I can face The consequences of falling Are you thinking What I'm thinking Does your pulse Quicken like mine Are you dreaming What I'm dreaming I can't read your mind One step towards you Two steps back Feels like I'm crawling Feels like I'm crawling If I'm alone in this I don't think I can face The consequences of falling |

One night when I was feelin' all alone
I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone I knew that I would have to make a choice Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit We won't be free until we equalize The price of power to the price of every life And though I know it's gonna take some time Someday we're all gonna find Love and compassion |

I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds you who you are And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true I was just a young girl My mother called me "Hon" My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been his son They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life" And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys Who just don't know or just don't care And just complain when you're not there You had your time, you had the power You've yet to have your finest hour... |
