Tracy Chapman - Happy
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Unburdened by the thought
I could still be lonely
I think you're the one
Everyone agrees
But some can see the face of love
And turn away in disbelief
Every time we get close
I just run
And the wind on my face
Last rays of the sun
Shine on my skin
My heart slow me down
Is all that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
With someone who knows
And understands me
I think yoo're the one
Everyone agrees
But some can touch the hand of love
And pull away in disbelief
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Possessed by nothig but
A heart that's chosen freely
I think you're the one
Everyone agrees
But some feel the grace of love
And walk away in disbelief
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Tracy Chapman - Broken
You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside of your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
You can never think
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
And you've already said
You would give everything
And somthing for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking
The picture makes a promse
THe flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
You want to be the one
Made over be your own
Before and after
And the supermarket
Beaty in a bottle queen
Who'll one day grace a
cheek-out counter
Magazin front cover
Thougt the fine print reads
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes promise
The flesh lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Broken
Broken
When your life is never what you wanted
Not even halfay normal
Just tarnished and soiled
When in your reached
A framed and frozen moment
So far from perfection
Not truth or transcendence
Will set you free
Still you don't beive
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes promise
The flesh lets it be broken
Tracy Chapman - Be Careful Of My Heart
you and your sweet smile
you and your tantalizing ways
you and your honey lips
you and all the sweet things that they say
you and your wild wild ways
one day you just up and walked away
you left me hurting
but i can forgive you for that now
you taught me something
something took half my life to learn
when you give all yourself away
just tell them to be careful of your heart
be careful of my heart heart
be careful of this heart of mine
be careful of my heart heart
it just might break and send some splinters flying
be careful of my heart heart
be careful
you you you
you you you
you you you
took my love
thought you took it all
you you you
you you you
you you you
took my love
and now you're gone
but i'm not breaking down
and i'm not falling apart
i just lost a little faith
when you broke my heart
given a chance
i might try it again
but i wouldn't risk it all this time
i'd save
a little love for myself
enough for my heart to mend
a little love for myself
one day i just might love again
one day some sweet smile might turn my head
one day i just might give all myself away
one day
one day
one day
Tracy Chapman - At This Point In My Life
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
Oh I, Oh I've
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
At this point in my life
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
If you give me a chance I'll try
You see it's been a hard road the road I'm traveling on
And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand
That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light
Won't you put your faith in me
We both know that's what matters
If you give me a chance I'll try
You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
I've been reaching high always losing ground
You see I've been reaching high but always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
At this point in my life
Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All I've seen and all I've done
The things I'd like to forget
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sihgt
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it
You see when I've touched the sky
The earth's gravity has pulled me down
But now I've reconciled that in this world
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
If you can give it a try
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Tracy Chapman - Subcity
People say it doesn't exist
'Cause no one would like to admit
That there is a city underground
Where people live everyday
Off the waste and decay
Off the discards of their fellow man
Here in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government relief
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me
They say there's too much crime in these city streets
My sentiments exactly
Government and big business hold the purse strings
When I worked I worked in the factories
I'm at the mercy of the world
I guess I'm lucky to be alive
They say we've fallen through the cracks
Theys ay the system works
But we won't let it
Help
I guess they never stop to think
We might not just want handouts
But a way to make an honest living
Living this ain't living
What did I do deserve this
Had my trust in god
Worked everyday of my life
Thought I had some guarantees
That's what I thought
At least that's what I thought
Last night I had another restless sleep
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
Last night I dreamed
A cold blue light was shining down on me
I screamed myself awake
Thought I must be dying
Thought I must be dying
Tracy Chapman - Why
Why do the babies starve
When there´s enough food to feed the world
Why when there´re so many of us
Are the people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they´re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she´s in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we´re all freee
But somebody´s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Amidst all these questions and contradictions
There´re some who seek the truth
But somebody´s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tracy Chapman - Crossroads
All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice
Demons they are on my trail
I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
I look to the left I look to the right
There're hands that grab me on every side
All you folks think I got my price
At which I'll sell all that is mine
You think money rules when all else fails
Go sell your soul and keep your shell
I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
All the reasons why I live my life
Some say the devil be a mystical thing
I say the devil he a walking man
He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
He try to tell you what you want
Try to tell you what you need
Standing at the point
The road it cross you down
What is at your back
Which way do you turn
Who will come ot find you first
Your devils or your gods
All you folks think you run my life
Say I should be willing to comprimise
I say all you demons go back to hell
I'll save my soul save myself
Tracy Chapman - Goodbye
For you it’s all in a day
One day in a life
It’s all in the one word
The one word is goodbye
For me
It’s all in what you say
Though you’ve tried to be kind
It’s all in the words
From the lips that once touched mine with a sigh
Goodbye
For you
It’s all in your face
The laugh and worry lines
It’s all in the one word
You hope will make you young again
Goodbye
It’s all in the play
Someone speaks the line
It’s all in the one word
That stops and steals the time
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
For me
It’s all in a day
It’s the part in life
When it’s all in the words
To fate and circumstance resigned
Goodbye
Tracy Chapman - Almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
One green light
One more ring of the telephone
One more step
One more second
And I almost
Almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
One hello
Just one kiss before the tears come
One yes
One chance
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
One day one year
5,000 weeks
A life of good works and good deeds
Let me be let me be closer
Or let me be
Let me be
Let me be
When I've almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
One good guess
A question with an answer that I know
One idea
One grand notion
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
Never does
Never does
Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
Katie Reider - What You Don´t Know
What you Don't Know
What you don't know is that i love you
What you dont know is how much i care
and what you don't see are my dreams about you
I dream about you...i dream about you
chorus:
But im afraid to let you in and im afraid to let you know
Yes im afraid to let my love show
Its so peculiar this thing that we found
Its so amazing how loud my heart does sound
feel the pulse its beating only for you...beating only for you
chorus
Don't you wonder of this timing
Mysteriously mystifying
head over feet faling all around
won't you catch me before i hit the ground
chorus
Charlotte Martin - Parade On
Her hands are in the air again
Stripped of pride
She was waiting for a sign to be let in
She tried to stop a train for him
Without shoes
And he was so amused, amused
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save
You wonder why she gives and gives
Till it burns
And there is nothing he can give her in return
She'll live and die by make-believe
Her frozen heart
Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save
The distance won't know which way you should go
'Cause we are not built so we can float
We are what we are
But that seems so far
Parting the Red Sea is easier, easier
It's time to introduce herself
She's dethroned
Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save, oh
And there's nothing I can say
And there's nothing I can say
Charlotte Martin - Sweet Chariot
Ode to joy, my lover boy's speaking in tongues
And the sky's bleeding gray
Now I pull my bag o' prayers out
I hope to find one to save the day
And he judged my love, my lust
My taste with the straightest face
As I crumple up inside
A papier-mache, a shell with no name
Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
And he took me further than I wanted to go
Underneath his shoe
And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
A touch he won't do
And I thought the circle, it had an end
I'm old enough to know
My denial is how we began and how we will end
And now that I know
Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
Oh, the blood that's in my veins
So cold and frozen from the stings
Oh, he comes and goes in waves
Am I really here?
Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Can we leave him a trail of my tears?
Sweet chariot
It's been, it's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
Charlotte Martin - Last Day On Earth
Once again you know my little world is caving in
I can't struggle anymore, my love
I know our time is over
I'm crawling and I'm clinging with no arms again
I face you in my sin
I pray you let me in
If it's the last day on earth
It doesn't matter what I say to you anymore
I won't see any face but yours
Before I slip away
So I'm cutting out my eyes and feeling faded now
Life may fail me, love will leave me
But I still have faith in something
The something that keeps clutching tight through empty hours
Oh here I go again
Oh here I go again
If it's the last day on earth
It doesn't matter what I say to you anymore
I won't see any face but yours
Before I slip away
I belong right here with you
And won't you lie to make me happy?
Won't you drink me dry so I can slip away?
If it's the last day on earth
It doesn't matter what games we play anymore
I told the truth for what it's worth
And now I'll slip away
I'll slip away
I'll slip away
Charlotte Martin - Everytime It Rains
Every time it rains I listen to the sky
And wonder what's so great about sunshine
Everybody lives and everybody dies
And no one's gonna love you like I do
When it was getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never needed light to see you
You thought I disappeared
But I was always here
I could never get that far from you
Though I misunderstand
And been misunderstood
So love me 'cause you can
And not because you should
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Take it as it comes
And take me as I am
I never was a good imposter
But I know how to dream
And don't know where I stand
I'm willing to admit I try too hard
Stop playing with my heart
I'm waiting by the phone
Afraid to be myself
Afraid to be alone
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And every time it rains
I'm gonna hide myself inside
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Charlotte Martin - Wild Horses
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things that you wanted
Well I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you
Just slide through my hands
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
And now you've decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamt you
A sin and a lie
And I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Fate has been suffered
And tears must be cried
So let's do some living
After we die
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
And wild horses couldn't drag me away
Sarah Bettens - All Of This Past
Here I go again
Slipping further away
Letting go again
Of what keeps me in place
I like it here
But it scares me to death
There is nothing here
The light is beautiful
But I’m darker than light
And you are wonderful
But this moment is mine
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone
And never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
I find comfort here
'Cos I know what is lost
Hope is always fear
For the pain it may cost
And I have searched for the reason to go on
I’ve tried and I’ve tried
But it’s taking me so long
I might be better off
Closing my eyes
And God will come looking for me
In time
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone
And never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone
And never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
I can see myself
I look peaceful and pale
But underneath
I can barely inhale
I can hear myself singing that song
Over and over until it belongs to me
Sarah Bettens - Someone To Say Hi to
Look at you how well youґve done so far
Look at where you're standing, who you are
And all our moments, good and bad forever in my head
wish we could go back just once and laugh at things we said
Chorus:
Itґs been wonderful and crazy knowing you
And I hope that I can always see the teenage girl in you
And I know that youґll be fine, but Iґll be there everytime
You need someone to say hi to late at night
Remember how I told you I was scared
Youґd end up with some jerk who doesnґt even know youґre there
But deep down i just knew that youґd find someone whoґs real
And doesnґt claim to know exactly everything you feel
Chorus
Sometimes when I think of us Iґm sad
I miss not knowing anything of what could lie ahead
But mostly now, I'm greatful that you're where you want to be
Not quite here, and not quite there, but somewhere in between
Chorus 2
Itґs been wonderful and crazy knowing you
And I hope that I can always see the teenage girl in you
And I know that youґll be fine, but Iґll be there everytime
You need someone to complain to late at night
Sophie Zelmani - Goodbye
I told you once I did
after you tought me how
it was never in my beliefs
I’d ever learn to say goodbye
how do you say goodbye?
how do you get free?
I tried to say goodbye
but you’re still here with me
if you say you never were here
that you’ve never been seen
I wonder where we’d stand
if you had stayed
in my dreams?
you should have stayed
in my dreams
you should have made me stop
because you were just a dream
since I had given up
how do you say goodbye?
how do you get free?
I tried to say goodbye
but you’re still here with me
how do you say goodbye?
how do you get free?
I tried to say goodbye
but you’re still here with me
Sophie Zelmani - I´ll remember you
It's daybreak, and you are asleep,
I can hear you breathe now,
Your breath is deep
But before I go,
I'll look at you one last time,
I can hear a heart beat, is it yours or is it mine?
I look at your lips, I know how soft they can be,
Did they know what they wanted, the times they kissed me,
And your hands, that I've held in mine,
Now they're reposing on the pillow,
Will they ever miss me sometime?
I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember
Your eyes, that always make me shiver,
Now they're closed, they just sometimes twitch a little,
And your body, I could hold for an hour,
It sent me to heaven, with its heat and power,
I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember
Sophie Zelmani - I´d be broken
Darling, hold on to my love,
hold on to my touch, a little bit more,
For all affection, that I've grudged you,
For all loads I let you carry, I owe you
Ashamed to be someone, who took you for granted,
Who took and demanded, the whole of you
So darling, hold on to my love, hold on to my touch,
a little bit more,
'Cause I'd be broken, I'd be broken, I'd be broken,
without you.
All the visions, would mean nothing,
I need your touching a little bit more,
'Cause I'd be broken, I'd be broken, I'd be broken,
without you.
From now on, I'll always share my loving mind,
I'll put my heart into your soul,
I'll be tender, I'll defend for you,
I'll give it all, that belongs to you.
Anouk - Michel
Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember
We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand and you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be
Now it's you and her I see
You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right
Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be
Now it is you and her I see
It was just a silly dream
Hey Michel do you remember
