Fox in the Snow : Belle & Sebastian
Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you can eat?
Cause the word out on the street is you are starving
Don't let yourself grow hungry now
Don't let yourself grow cold
Fox in the snow

Girl in the snow, where will you go
To find someone that will do?
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
They listen to your crazy laugh
Before you hang a right
And disappear from sight
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book tonight

Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World : U2
Nothing much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been tryin' to throw your arms round the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world

Father Figure : George Michael
That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy
...
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert ,I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful Darling
Don't think of me
Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no...
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always telling me so...
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

Gray or Blue : Jaymay
I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around
And I'm struggling with the xylophone to make these feelings sound
And I'm remembering you singing and bringing you to life
And It's raining out the window and today it looks like night

You haven't written to me in a week I'm wondering why that is
Are you too nervous to be lovers, friendships ruined with just one kiss
I watched you very closely I saw you look away
Your eyes are either gray or blue I'm never close enough to say

But your sweatshirt says it all with the hood over your face
I can't keep staring at your mouth without wondering how it tastes
I'm with another boy; he's asleep, I'm wide awake
And he tried to win my heart, but it's taken time

I know the shape of your hands because I watch them when you talk
And I know the shape of your body 'cause I watch it when you walk
And I want to know it all but I'm giving you the lead
So go on, go on and take it, don't fake it, shake it

Don't second guess your feelings you were right from the start
And I notice she's your lover, but she's nowhere near your heart
This city is for strangers, like the sky is for the stars
But I think it's very dangerous if we do not take whats ours

And I'm winning you with words because I have no other way
I'd love to look into your face without your eyes turning away
Last night I watched you sing because a person has to try
And I walked home in the rain because a person cannot lie

Spoon : Dave Matthews Band
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone

From hand to hand,
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God?
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you? Why?
You hung me out to dry
And maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling,
I'm still falling

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man : Prince
It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar
Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked if she wanted 2 dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

Papa : Prince
There was 1 September day that papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice 4 throwin' rocks at passin' cars
Baby didn't listen, so like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his papa who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the four-year-old down, onto the closet floor
Baby cried I'm sorry, I won't do it no more
Papa said yeah, I know, that's what this here's 4

Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...
Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...

As the door closes, baby starts 2 cry
Please don't lock me up again, without a reason why
Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said how come I don't love my woman?
Then he took aim and died

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me

Elephants & Flowers : Prince
Love the one who is love, (love)
the one who gives us the power, (power)
The one who made everything, (what? )
elephants and flowers (what will he do? )
The one who will listen when all others will not.
There will be peace 4 those who love God a lot.

Anna Stesia : Prince
Have u ever been so lonely
That u felt like u were the
Only one in this world?

Have u ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much u'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Anna stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what u think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great
No way 2 differentiate
I took a chance

Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips 2 say

We could live 4 a little while
If u could just learn 2 smile
U and I could fly away, fly away.

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
I mean the right way, I mean the only way
Perhaps u could show me, baby

Kristen : Rooney
I don't know a lot about her
But she, she knew a lot about me
Her family seemed to love her
If what they say is true
Her friends all shared the good times
Man, that girl has love
That girl has -
I, I didn't have a clue then
That a kiss
Would change my whole life again

She walked into my room
When I was all alone
She told me I would date her from
September 'til December
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love

She kept all the pain inside
Now she has got nothing to hide
At such a young age
She took her own life
Now she's seeing things that come in
Our dreams at night
She's a dreamer
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again

The First Taste : Fiona Apple
I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black to replace my blue
I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you

Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
Forever
Darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win but you must
Make the endeavor

Come on Closer : Jem
Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see

Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again

***

Hour after hour
Of sweet pleasure
After this I guarantee
You'll never wanna leave
Shut your eyes and think about
What I'm about to do
Sit back relax I'll take my time
This lovin's all for you

Do What You Have To Do : Sarah McLachlan
What ravages of spirit
Conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love
...
And I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go

Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
...
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do

Who Wants an Ugly Girl? : Tom Tom Club
The train has stopped and it's filling up
And I close my eyes then, try to imagine
I'm walking on a beach in the moonlight
The waves are lapping gently in the night
I hear the palm leaves crisp in the calm breeze
Someone is with me. He bends to kiss me
The stars are winking. I just keep thinking:

"Who in the world would want an ugly girl?"

In My Head : No Doubt
There's just something about you
That gets me in a twist
And sometimes I think
That cupid is just taking the piss
It only takes one word or idea
To send me in real deep
So if you think you're clever
Use the right words when you talk to me

In my head
It's only in my head
In my head
It's only in my head

The Wind : Cat Stevens
I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up well I think,
Only God really knows
Ive sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never

I listen to my words but
They fall far below
I let my music take me where
My heart wants to go
I swam upon the devils lake
But never, never never never
Ill never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never

Where the Streets Have No Name : U2
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Superman : Five for Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird...i'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

The Stranger : Billy Joel
Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on

Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it, why can't someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself

Once I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
That I could not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason
She refused to even answer
It was then I felt the stranger
Kick me right between the eyes

Fuck Was I : Jenny Owen Youngs
Love tears me up like a demon
Opens the wounds and then fills them with lead.
And I'm having some trouble just breathing.
If we weren't such good friends, I think that I'd hate you.
If we weren't such good friends, I'd wish you were dead

Skillet on the stove; it's such a temptation
Maybe I'll be the special one that doesn't get burned.
What the fuck was I thinking?

But it's so embarrassing
I'm in this awkward and uncomfortable thing,
and I'm running out of places to hide in
