"Back to the Wall" - Divinyls

https://youtu.be/yrBd96o7y4Y

 

We are living in desperate times

These are desperate times, my dear

There's no way out of here

There's no way out, my dear

 

I've been holding back all my tears

Just so the pressure don't show

Like a time bomb ticking away

I might blow up someday

 

Don't push, don't shove

You better watch what you do

 

[CHORUS:]

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything at all

When my back's to the wall

I might take any chance at all

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything

 

You've got the upper hand

But I've got nothing to lose

When I'm trapped in a corner like this

I might light the fuse

 

There is no way out of here

There's no way out, my dear

 

Don't push, don't shove

You better watch what you do

 

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything at all

When my back's to the wall

I might take any chance at all

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything at all

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything

Anything

 

Don't push me too far

You better run for your life

 

[CHORUS]

 

I've got nothing to lose

I might light the fuse

I've got nothing to lose

I might light the fuse

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Look it out

Don't come any closer

Look out

"(Wading Through) The Waters of My Time"

Richard Hawley

 

Don't look for me in fields of clover

I won't be there I won't get older

I must wait here holed up in my time

 

Don't search for me in fields of green

I'm not there I won't be seen

I'm wading through the waters of my time

I'm wading through the waters of my time

 

Don't look for me in lands of gold

I won't be there I won't get old

I'll hover like a frozen bird in time

 

Don't reach for me the stars are cold

My race is run my story's told

I'm wading through the waters of my time

 

Don't search for me in lands of gold

I won't be there I can't get old

Don't hope for me the stars have died

I've slipped into the past

 

Cause I'm wading through the waters of my time

Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time

 

Don't search for me in lands of gold

I won't be there I can't get old

Don't hope for me the stars have died

I've slipped into the past

 

Cause I'm wading through the waters of my time

Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time

Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time

"Wings in All Black"

Gregory Alan Isakov

 

She turns to water

She goes slipping through the cracks

And all that you gave her

You’ll never win back

You circled the sun

You wore your wings in all black

See, I been down down down

Down down down down down

But now I’m back

 

Those bright crooked stars

Man, they’re howling out

Thought you read them all right

Had them all figured out

Learned every constellation

Just to find where you’re at

Yeah, I been gone gone gone

Gone gone gone gone gone

But now I’m back

 

Hope was a word

Just a glimmer of the blade

Man, how it sang like an old serenade

Fill it up, fill it up, this cup so clear

See, I've been down down down

Down down down down down

I’ve been down down down

Down down down

But now I'm here

"You're Safe" - Rachel Platten

 

When the ghosts get in your head

All your eyes can see is red

Your sail is down, your ship is wrecked

Thunder's left you there for dead

 

Oh, you're fading, fading, oh

 

Hey now, don't you run away

Don't you run away

Hey now, don't you be afraid

Don't you be afraid

You're safe

You're safe

 

When danger grabs you from above

Falling down, you're giving up

And you can't remember how to love

You swear to god you've had enough

 

Oh, you're fading, fading, oh yeah

 

Hey now, don't you run away

Don't you run away

You're safe

Hey now, don't you be afraid

Don't you be afraid

You're safe

"Grow As We Go"

Ben Platt

 

maxresdefault.jpg

 

You say there's so much you don't know

You need to go and find yourself

You say you'd rather be alone

Cause you think you won't find it

Tied to someone else

 

Who said it's true

That the growing only happens on your own

They don't know me and you

 

I don't think you have to leave

If to change is what you need

You can change right next to me

 

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go

Grow as we go

 

You won't be the only one

I am unfinished

I've got so much left to learn

I don't know how this river runs

But I'd like the company

Through every twist and turn

 

Who said it's true

That the growing only happens on your own

They don't know me and you

 

You don't ever have to leave

If to change is what you need

You can change right next to me

 

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go

Grow as we go

Grow as we go

Grow as we go

 

I don't know who we'll become

I can't promise

It's not written in the stars

But I believe that when it's done

We're gonna see that it was better

That we grew up together

 

Tell me you don't wanna leave

Cause if change is what you need

You can change right next to me

 

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go

Grow as we go

Grow as we go

Grow as we go

” Little House”

The Fray

 

 

“ Little House”

 

She doesn't look, she doesn't see

Opens up for nobody

Figures out, she figures out

Narrow line, she can't decide

Everything short of suicide

Never hurts, nearly works

 

Something is scratching

Its way out

Something you want

To forget about

 

A part of you that'll never show

You're the only one that'll ever know

Take it back when it all began

Take your time, would you understand

What it's all about?

What it's all about?

 

Something is scratching

Its way out

Something you want

To forget about

 

No one expects

You to get up

All on your own with

No one around

 

Something is scratching

Its way out

Something you want

To forget about

 

No one expects

You to get up

All on your own with

No one around

” Soldier’s Eyes”

Jack Savoretti

 

 

"Soldier's Eyes"

 

Lately I've been wondering what's been going on

I've been here before but I don't remember when

And every time we get to where we're entering

I feel my beliefs and hopes surrendering

 

But I know I'll be coming home soon

Yes I know I'll be coming home soon

 

'Cause like the enemies that we are battling

I am nothing but a human alien

Left with nothing else but to keep wandering

Down this path whilst stopping my hands trembling

 

Because I know that I'll be coming home soon

And yes I know that I'll be coming home soon

With a soldier's eyes

With a soldier's eyes

With a soldier's eyes

 

With a soldier's eyes I've seen inside the devil's dreams where young men die

And graveyards open up their arms for mothers left to cry

I have seen the bleeding and I hate what we've done

But just like every other fool here I'll keep marching on

 

Because I know that I'll be coming home soon

And yes I know that I'll be coming home soon

With a soldier's eyes

With a soldier's eyes

With a soldier's eyes

With a soldier's eyes

” The Swords We Carried”

Mary Chapin Carpenter

 

 

 

"The Swords We Carried"

 

Back when I believed in luck

And stones & crosses

I’d put a coin found on the street

Towards cosmic losses

And passing graveyards in a car

Tracing every falling star

Luck was never very far from childhood causes

 

And pennies kissed with wishes arced into the fountains

And time was said to heal all pain

And hope move mountains

And all that could befall a heart

Or break this perfect life apart

The swords we carried could not do a thing about them

Away I am going, away I am gone

 

Ghosts and angels are but memories and visions

And revenants are out there taking up positions

But back when I believed in you

You’d raise the sun and set the moon

How could I help but love you holy as religion

Away you are going, away you are gone

 

But back when I believed in luck and words as spoken

I found a lie could break and split the world clean open

And grief became my company

Pain so deep I could not breathe

All betrayal is like dying in slow motion

 

Is it luck that makes us shout or makes us whisper

Is it luck that makes us wise or turns us bitter

With our maps that point true north

With our vows we sally forth

The swords we carried can’t protect us from eachother

Away we are going

Away we are gone

Away we are going

Away we are gone

” Someone To Love You”

Joy Williams

 

https://youtu.be/1nuzDVXZSyk

 

"Someone To Love You"

 

From where you stand

There's no way to change it

No way to make it make sense

And it's lonely there, there in the spotlight

Oh honey and I understand

 

You, need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you, tonight

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

 

When you look at me

Try hard to hide it

Try hard to hold it all in

But I found you out

Discovered your secrets

And honey, it ain't a sin

 

Oh you, need someone to love you

Need someone to hold you, tonight

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

 

It doesn't have to be me...

 

But you, you need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you, tonight

Oh you, need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you

 

Everything is alright

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

 

❤️❤️❤️

Des'ree - You Gotta Be

 

"You Gotta Be"

Listen as your day unfolds,

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers, they may cause you tears

Go ahead release your fears,

Stand up and be counted

Don't be ashamed to cry

 

You gotta be

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

 

Herald what your mother said

Read the books your father read

Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time

Some may have more cash than you

Others take a different view,

My oh my, heh, hey

 

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

 

Time asks no questions,

It goes on without you

Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace

The world keeps on spinning

Can't stop it, if you try to

The best part is danger staring you in the face

 

Remember, listen as your day unfolds

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers, they may cause you tears

Go ahead release your fears,

My oh my heh, hey, hey

 

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

 

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

"Take a Pebble"

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

 

Full Album Version                          Edited (Short) Version

https://youtu.be/tVz35uXqFYw       

 

Just take a pebble

And cast it to the sea

Then watch the ripples

That unfold into me

 

My face spills so gently

Into your eyes

Disturbing the waters

Of our lives

 

Shreds of our memories

Are lying on your grass

Wounded words of laughter

Are graveyards of the past

 

Photographs are grey and torn

Scattered in your fields

Letters of your memories

Are not real

 

Wear sadness on your shoulders

Like a worn-out overcoat

In pockets creased and tattered

Hang the rags of your hopes

 

The daybreak is your midnight

The colors have all died

Disturbing the waters of our lives

Of our lives, lives, lives

Of our lives

 

:(

"Mockingbirds" - Mark Lanegan

 

Your voice is a mockingbird

Calling me when the day is done

You please yourself with every word

Telling me where I'm going wrong

Telling me where I've gone wrong

 

Get me out it's starting to burn

I can't let go for the life of me

Some hold tight and some turn

Another fire out in front of me

My whole life out in front of me

 

You can't kill what's already dead

But I don't blame you for trying it

The sun comes up and falls away

Two little birds making sense of it

Two mockingbirds making sense of it

"Lost And Lonely"

Paloma Faith

 

Reaching out

Reaching out

 

Been talking to myself for several hours

And I keep on calling for a higher power

I put another song on this record player

Dance till I'm drunk on a midnight prayer

 

Reaching out but nobody comes

The girl who everyone knew

Is now the one they look through

 

[CHORUS:]

And oh

Say another prayer

For the lost and lonely

Reaching out

Don't look away

Stay and watch me slowly

Giving up

I feel myself falling away in silence

Freaking out

I know I can't do this alone anymore

Won't you take my hand

Cause we could be amazing

 

What good are my memories if I'm by myself

Junk mail in the hallway, think I'm needing help

I had dreams, yeah, I watched somebody

Television man seems to think it's funny

 

Reaching out but nobody comes

The girl who everyone knew

Is now the one they look through

 

[CHORUS]

We could be amazing

Together we are strong

And I know there's more love

And blood in these veins

So don't forget me

We're all connected

And no one needs to be alone

 

And oh

Say another prayer

For the lost and lonely

Reaching out

Don't look away

Stay and watch me slowly

Giving up

I feel myself falling away in silence

Freaking out

I know I can't do this alone anymore

Won't you take my hand

Cause we could be amazing

(x2)

 

Reaching out

Reaching out

Reaching out

"Miracle"

Foo Fighters

 

Crazy but I believe this time

Begging for sweet relief

A blessing in disguise

 

Dying behind these tired eyes

I've been losing sleep

Please come to me tonight

 

[CHORUS:]

Hands on a miracle

I got my hands on a miracle

Believe it or not

Hands on a miracle

And there ain't no way

That you'll take it away

 

Everything that we've survived

It's gonna be alright

Just lucky we're alive

 

Got no vision I've been blind

Searching everywhere

You're right here in my sight

 

Hands on a miracle

I got my hands on a miracle

Believe it or not

Hands on a miracle

And there ain't no way

That you'll take it away

(x2)

"Anything Can Happen"

Jackson Browne

 

59264197-two-giant-pandas-are-playing-.jpg

 

Time will come when we know what happened here

Change will come in time and make it clear

We learn one thing if we learn at all

In the secret wars we call our lives

Anything can happen

 

We watch the days, we make our plans

We change in ways our lives demands

But what ever pleasure this life may allow

I'll give you the love I have for you now

Because anything can happen

 

In a world so full of fear

Dreams are whispered in the dead of night

And people disappear

But you hear my heart and you know I'm still here

Although you know and I know you know

While I swear I'll never let you go

Anything can happen

 

Yeah, if this love can happen here

Anything can

 

We watch the days, we make our plans

We change in ways our lives demands

I'll always remember this time, this place

The hope in your voice, the light on your face

Because anything can happen

 

In a world so full of pain

People give their lives to making war

And we call those people sane

But I love you where your dreams remain

Though you never say it anymore

One day there'll be an end to this war

And who knows

We may see what we're here for

Anything can happen

 

Yeah, if this love has found us here

Anything can

Can happen

 

Anything

Anything can happen
