Kid Rock feat. Sheryl Crow - Picture

    *** Kid Rock feat. Sheryl Crow - Picture ***

    Lyrics

    Kid Rock:

    Livin’ my life in a slow hell
    Different girl every night at the hotel
    I ain’t seen the sunshine
    In three damn days
    Been fuelin’ up on cocaine and whiskey
    Wish I had a good girl to miss me
    Lord I wonder if I’ll ever change my ways
    I put your picture away
    Sat down and cried today
    I can’t look at you while I’m lying next to her
    I put your picture away
    Sat down and cried today
    I can’t look at you while I’m lying next to her

    Sheryl Crow:

    I called you last night in the hotel
    Everyone knows but they won’t tell
    But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin’ just ain’t right
    I’ve been waitin’ on you for a long time
    Fuelin’ up on heartaches and cheap wine
    I ain’t heard from you in three damn nights
    I put your picture away
    I wonder where you been
    I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to him
    I put your picture away
    I wonder where you been
    I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to him

    I saw you yesterday with an old friend (Sheryl Crow)
    It was the same old same how’ve you been? (Kid Rock)
    Since you’ve been gone my worlds been dark and grey (Together)
    You reminded me of brighter days (Kid Rock)
    I hoped you were comin’ home to stay (Sheryl Crow)
    I was headed to church (Sheryl Crow)
    I was off to drink you away (Kid Rock)

    Together:

    I thought about you for a long time
    Can’t seem to get you off my mind
    I can’t understand why we’re living life this way
    I found your picture today
    I swear I’ll change my ways
    I just called to say I want you to come back home
    I found your picture today
    I swear I’ll change my ways
    I just called to say I want you to come back home
    I just called to say I love you, come back home

Jewel - Hands

    *** Jewel - Hands ***

    Lyrics

    If I could tell the world just one thing
    It would be that we’re all OK
    And not to worry ’cause worry is wasteful
    And useless in times like these
    I won’t be made useless
    I won’t be idle with despair
    I will gather myself around my faith
    For light does the darkness most fear

    My hands are small, I know
    But they’re not yours, they are my own
    But they’re not yours, they are my own

    And I am never broken
    Poverty stole your golden shoes
    It didn’t steal your laughter
    And heartache came to visit me
    But I knew it wasn’t ever after
    We’ll fight, not out of spite
    For someone must stand up for what’s right
    ‘Cause where there’s a man who has no voice
    There ours shall go singing

    My hands are small I know
    But they’re not yours, they are my own
    But they’re not yours, they are my own

    I am never broken
    In the end only kindness matters
    In the end only kindness matters
    I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
    I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
    I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

    My hands are small I know
    But they’re not yours, they are my own
    But they’re not yours, they are my own
    And I am never broken

    My hands are small I know
    But they’re not yours, they are my own
    But they’re not yours, they are my own

    And I am never broken
    We are never broken
    We are God’s eyes
    God’s hands
    God’s mind
    We are God’s eyes
    God’s hands
    God’s heart
    We are God’s eyes
    God’s hands
    God’s eyes
    We are God’s hands
    We are God’s hands

Jack Savoretti - Dreamers

    *** Jack Savoretti - Dreamers ***

    Lyrics

    There was a time and place, not far from here and now,
    Maybe a brighter day, maybe they had it made somehow
    Living for there and then under a psychedelic spell
    No one was listening but still they had so much to tell.

    Whatever happened to the dreamers,
    They always looked beyond the sky
    They saw a world they could believe in
    But only when they closed their eyes

    There was a politician,
    Men of the cloth,
    Painters and poets
    Starting a revolution,
    Without even knowing
    Making the world around us,
    Making heaven and hell
    Saying so much about us,
    Still they have so much to tell

    Whatever happened to the dreamers,
    They always looked beyond the sky
    They saw a world they could believe in
    But only when they closed their eyes

    Where are they know, they’ve all left town
    Bringing the clouds…

    Whatever happened to the dreamers,
    They always looked beyond the sky
    They saw a world they could believe in
    But only when they closed their eyes
    But only when they closed their eyes
    Yeah la la la la

    Nothing has ever been this way before
    A dream is just a dream nothing more
    Nothing has ever been this way before
    A dream is just a dream nothing more…

Damien Rice - Cannonball

*** Damien Rice - Cannonball ***

Lyrics

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what’s going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven’t kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can’t say what’s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it’s not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can’t see what’s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it’s not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
‘Cause it’s not hard to fall
And I don’t wanna scare her
It’s not hard to fall
And I don’t wanna lose
It’s not hard to grow
When you know that you just don’t know…

Sinead O’Connor - Nothing Compares to You

*** Sinead O’Connor - Nothing Compares to You ***

Lyrics

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you’ll do
But he’s a fool
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you…
