Til Death Do Us Part lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I'll walk here beside you
I'll walk here beside you
I'll walk here beside you forever, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll climb up that mountain
I'll climb up that mountain
I'll climb up that mountain to meet you, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll sing Hallelujah
I'll sing Hallelujah
I'll sing Hallelujah forever, my love
'Til death do us part
I'll sing Hallelujah forever, my love
'Til death do us part
Wreck And Ruin lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Gotta get good with the big black dog
Hanging all around the door
Gotta get wet in the dirty water
Where the fish don't swim no more
Sifting through all of my wreck and ruin
Gotta get a rhythm with the wiper blades
Gotta go bait the rats
Gotta get lost in a street parade
Of clowns and acrobats
Marching through all of my wreck and ruin
Well everybody knows where everybody goes
When everybody wants something
Cooks are in the kitchen, fingers all twitching
Waiting for me to sing
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Time to meet the devil inside my head
And find out what he's worth
Catch that monkey on a wire
And bring him back down to earth
Like I do, with all of my wreck and ruin
Gotta get down with the rattlin' bones
Down where the demons lie
Gotta get dragging this bag of stones
Until the day I die
Pay my dues with all of my wreck and ruin
Well everybody knows where everybody goes
When everybody wants something
Cooks are in the kitchen, fingers all twitching
Waiting for me to sing
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Ain't it true, you love my wreck and ruin
Adam And Eve lyrics - Kasey Chambers
My name is Adam, my name is Eve
I was the first man to live and breathe
God made the ocean, He made it blue
He told us "Don't eat forbidden fruit"
Oh, He can see us, hear what we say
But He was resting on that seventh day
She met a serpent that afternoon
He smiled at her and she broke the rule
Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste
The Garden of Eden's no longer safe
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
I can remember, I do recall
There were no weeds here, no thorns at all
I was misguided, I was mislead
I asked for good but got evil instead
Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste
The Garden of Eden's no longer safe
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed
We're on the run with God on our tail
My name is Adam, my name is Eve
I was the first man to live and breathe
The Quiet Life lyrics - Kasey Chambers
We could be the talk of the town tonight
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
We could sail away to Tobago
Fly across the Gulf of Mexico
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life
We could get a job on the movie screen
Smile on the cover of a magazine
Or we could just be man and wife
Happy in the quiet life
Where the clock don't move so quick
Where the water don't make you sick
Traffic don't keep you up at night
Here in the quiet life
Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life
Living in the quiet life
Sleeping by a firelight
Maybe I could make you smile
In the quiet life
We could be the talk of the town tonight
Dustbowl lyrics - Kasey Chambers
This town has got a hold on me
This town has got a hold on me
Well, I lost my soul
Now I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
There's a road leading in but there ain't one out
There's a road leading in but there ain't one out
Now I'm on a roll
And I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It'll pick you up, it'll spit you out
Yeah, it'll pick you up, it'll knock you down
Yeah it'll take its toll
Now I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow, oh Lord
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
It's gonna blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Blow I know
I'm stuck here in a dustbowl
Familiar Strangers lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Like a walk down a dead-end street
Like a ship sailed and lost at sea
We can hold out and clutch at a straw
But I don't even know you anymore
Like the curtain at the end of the show
Like the sound of a lonesome whistle blow
We can make believe it's worth fighting for
But I don't even know you anymore
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
When it's too late?
Like the answer to a question no one asked
Like a race where everybody comes in last
We will end up on the cutting room floor
Cause I don't even know you anymore
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
Cause we're just familiar strangers
We don't know any better
Oh why do we hold our breath and wait
When it's too late?
When it's too late?
Your Sweet Love lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
I've been out at the edge of the world
Close to the other side
I've been 'cross every desert and back
I ain't found no place to hide
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
I've been at every window and door
Sailed every ocean wide
I've been from east to west, back again
I ain't found no place to hide
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Save me
Your sweet, sweet love won't save me now
Rusted Shoes lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I got me some rusted shoes
I got me some rusted shoes
I been singing the hard rain blues
And I'm going nowhere
I got me a hobo hat
I got me a hobo hat
Sun burning down on my back
And I'm going nowhere
Just a grumpy old dog with a bone
I like the weather much closer to home
I'm staying where I belong
I'm going nowhere
I got me a worn out smile
I got me a worn out smile
I ain't walking for one more mile
No, I'm going nowhere
I got me some rusted shoes
I got me some rusted shoes
I'm making the bed I choose
And I'm going nowhere
Just a grumpy old dog with a bone
I like the weather much closer to home
I'm staying where I belong
I'm going nowhere
Come on baby, get long in the tooth
We got nothing much better to do
Just me growing old with you
And going nowhere
I'm going nowhere
We're going nowhere
Flat Nail Joe lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, you got the sickle and you got the rake
Fingers gonna bleed and your back's gon' break
You got the shovel and you got the plough
You got forever but you don't got now
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
You got the hammer and you got the glue
Got the heave-ho and the old one-two
Well, you got the nickel and you got the dime
You got forever but you don't got time
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Well, you got the timber and you got the steel
A whole bag o' hooks and fishing reel
You got the oil for the rusty gate
You got forever but you're always late
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Let's go, go - Flat Nail Joe
You don't gotta bring your axe and hoe
Old friend, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Old friend we gotta go
Everybody knows where the wind will blow
Oh oh, why so low?
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
You gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now Flat Nail Joe
Gotta stand up now
Have Mercy On Me lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When the angels come from heavens above
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
Pick me to fly on a white-winged dove
Sweet as honey, sweet as honey
I'm blind, but you can make me see
Oh my, have mercy on me
I would trade it all if you asked me too
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Take the green, the red, the white and the blue
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Untrue, we can play for keeps
If you have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
When it's said and done and written in stone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
You can strike me down and point the bone
Hear me holler, hear me holler
Oh why, you can set me free
Oh my, have mercy on me
Lay me down, let me sleep
Hear that sound while I weep
And if I die before I wake
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
Oh, Lord please, have mercy on me
Up Or Down lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When you can hear that final word
Will you be sure of what you heard?
Oh, can you say where you'll be bound
Will you go up or will you go down?
Oh, when that day has finally come
Oh, when your race is finally run
Oh, will you rest down in the ground?
Will you go up or will you go down?
When you take your last breath of air
And you listen to your final prayer
Oh, will it be a lonesome sound?
Will you go up or will you go down?
Oh, will it be a lonesome sound?
Will you go up or will you go down?
Sick As A Dog lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I got the fever, I got the cough
My head is pounding like the wheel's come off
I got the shivers, I got the shakes
I'm burning up at a hundred and eight
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I've got the achin' down in my bones
Like I been beaten with the sticks and stones
I'm gonna pass out, I'm gonna crash
I'm gonna struggle gettin' rid of the rash
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
I'm sick as a dog, I'm sick as a dog
I'm sick as a dog, better call the doctor
Troubled Mind lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When I'm dead and gone
Long after my time
Will anyone see if they bury me
With a troubled mind?
Beneath the ground
Where the sun will not shine
Will anyone know that I had to go
With a troubled mind?
I am not lonely
Not the worrying kind
But oh, how I suffer
From a troubled mind
When the Lord takes my hand
To the other side
Will anyone hear the sound of a tear
And a troubled mind?
I am not lonely
Not the worrying kind
But oh, how I suffer
From a troubled mind
When they lay me down
At the end of my life
Will I be alone, the words on my stone
A troubled mind?
Happy Woman Blues lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Lucinda Williams)
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman.
But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Goin' down south with the New York City blues,
Gotta hit the road before I blow a fuse,
I might buy me a Cadillac or a Chevrolet.
I don't care what model as long as it takes me away
I've been hiding my heart in a trunk.
Can you come see me when my ship has sunk
You can give me loovin, that I can't refuse,
And love is the one thing that's sure to cure my blues.
Goin' down the road with a heave heart,
Tryin' to find lightness in the dark,
Tryin' to live my life, tryin' to get satisfied.
My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside.
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman.
But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Return Of The Grievous Angel lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Gram Parsons)
Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
`Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil,
And I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
And so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
That I've never been shown
And I saw my devil,
And I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
If I Needed You lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Jimmy Barnes)
If I needed you would you come to me,
Would you come to me, and ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
In the night forlorn the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
That would break my heart in two
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see
And a treasure for the poor to find
Luka lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Suzanne Vega)
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am [x3]
Nothing But A Child lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Steve Earle)
Once upon a time in a far off land
Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand
Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night
Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light
They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west
Across the mountains far, but when it came to rest
They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles
And the miracle they prized was nothing but a child
Nothing but a child could wash these tears away
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
And nothing but a child could help erase these miles
So once again we all can be children for awhile
Now all around the world, in every iittle town
Everyday is heard a precious little sound
And every mother kind and every father proud
Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed
Leave The Lights On lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by John Prine)
Feeling kind of bony
On the telephoney
Talking to Marconi
Eating Rice-a-Roni
Nominated for a Tony
For acting like a phoney
Watching Twilight Zoney
On my forty-two inch Sony
This is just a long song
It ain't no poem
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
It's like sitting in the kitchen
When the music's really bitchin'
Your nose it starts to itchin'
As you count your old age pension
Did I forget to mention
The ride that I was hitchin'
To the Aluminum convention
I had such good intention
Keep your cotton pickin' fingers off
My song poem
And leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Got a big ol' dog
A chrome crowbar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
Me and Billy Shakespeare
Stepped out to get a root beer
We sat together so near
People thought we were queer
Punctuated by the big scare
We joined the Air Force right there
To defend our country first class
Who couldn't give a rat's ass
Don't you tell me that the White House is my home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Got a big ol' dog
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
It's like kissing Greta Garbo with a mouth full of marbles
Like trying to cash a paycheck in the middle of a train wreck
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
Like trying to get aroundo in a carmade of bondo
Like speaking German lingo to a dog named Dingo - Plotz!!
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
Like a French fried quesadilla
In a franchised pizzeria
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car.
I'm So Lonseome I Could Cry lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Paul Kelly)
(originally by Hank Williams)
Hear the lonesome whiperwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
Im so lonesome I could cry
Ive never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide it's face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Orphan Girl lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Shane Nicholson)
(originally by Gillian Welch)
I am an orphan on God's highway
But I'll share my travels if you go my way
I have no mother no father
No sister no brother
I am an orphan girl
I have had friendships pure and golden
But the ties of kinship I have not known them
I know no mother no father
No sister no brother
I am an orphan girl
But when He calls me I will be able
To meet my family at God's table
I'll meet my mother my father
My sister my brother
No more orphan girl
Blessed Savior make me willing
And walk beside me until I'm with them
Be my mother my father
My sister my brother
I am an orphan girl
True Colours lyrics - Kasey Chambers
You with the sad eyes,
Dont be discouraged.
Oh I realise,
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people,
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small.
But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.
Show me smiling;
Dont be unhappy,
Cant remember when
I last saw you laughing.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up,
Because you know I'll be there.
But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.
Cant remember when
I last saw you laughing...
If this world makes you crazy,
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there.
But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.
But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.
Water In The Fuel lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, darling, I'm a coming down old route number sixty-seven.
I just got off the turnpike avoiding the Ohio state inspection.
Johnny law followed me up the road, but then he turned off and he let me go.
I guess this old truck ain't worth shutting down.
And your voice last night on the telephone said you wouldn't be there when I got home
So, when I get to Cleveland I'm going to head back south.
[Chorus:]
The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.
My brakes are gone, I've got a left front tire throwing thread.
By tomorrow morning, I could be dead. Baby, maybe you were right all along.
You said you couldn't stay with a man who was always going away,
And all you wanted to do was settle down.
You wanted to buy that little trailer, out on the edge with the money you saved.
It had a carport, a colour TV and no place to turn around.
[Chorus]
Remember that winter when the lake froze over,
We drove out there after we'd unloaded,
We revved that truck and we spun it 'round and 'round.
Then we left it idling out on that ice,
Crawled in the sleeper and I held you tight.
Baby, I'm sure on thin ice now.
[Chorus]
I Wish It Would Rain lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Ashleigh Dallas)
(originally by Nanci Griffith)
Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
One on my left neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me
I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricane blow in
'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind
When the diamonds fall, darlin'
They burn like tears
Everything's Turning To White lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Late on a Friday my husband went up to the mountains with three friends
They took provisions and bottles of bourbon to last them all through the weekend
One hundred miles they drove just to fish in a stream
And there's so much water so close to home
When they arrived it was cold and dark; they set up their camp quickly
Warmed up with whisky they walked to the river where the water flowed past darkly
In the moonlight they saw the body of a young girl floating face down
And there's so much water so close to home
When he hold me now I'm pretending
I feel like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's turning to white
It was too hard to tell how long she'd been dead, the river was that close to freezing
But one thing for sure, the girl hadn't died very well to judge from the bruising
They stood there above her all thinking the same thoughts at the same time
There's so much water so close to home
They carried her downstream from their fishing; between two rocks they gently wedged her
After all they'd come so far, it was late
And the girl would keep; she was going nowhere
They stayed up there fishing for two days
They reported it on Sunday when they came back down
There's so much water so close to home
When he holds me now I'm pretending
I feel like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's turning to white
The newspapers said that the girl had been strangled to death and also molested
On the day of the funeral the radio reported that a young man had been arrested
I went to the service a stranger; I drove past the lake out of town
There's so much water so close to home
When he holds me now I'm pretending
I feel like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's turning to white
Too Long In The Wasteland lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox
Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
I've fallin' behind
She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down
It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around
Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
I've closed some doors
People in the village, Watch the children play
At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away
Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
What's made him that way
I hadn't intended, To bend the rules
Whiskey don't make liars, It just makes fools
So I didn't mean to say it, But I meant what I said
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
Must have gone to my head
Jet trails in the sunset, a long way away
cuttin' cross the horizon, At the edge of the day
And it calls out to me, Come fly away, I've been
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
I believe I'll have to stay
Too long in the wasteland
Too long in the wasteland
I'll have to stay
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon
Bullet holes in the mailbox
Bullet holes in the mailbox
Top Of The World lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(originally by Patty Griffin)
I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife does
I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world Now
To the top of the world
I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no god to
Teach me no lessons
I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there
In my chair
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Now
To the top of the world
I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the side
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow?
Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world
Another Lonely Day lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Yes indeed I'm
Alone again
And here comes emptiness
Crashing in
It's either love or hate
I can't find in between
'Cause I've been with witches
And I have been with a queen
It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
Wish there was something I
Could say or do
'Cause I can resist anything but
The temptation from you
But I'd rather walk alone
Than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself than let you
Drag me on down
It wouldn't have worked out anyway
And now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
And further along we just may
But now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
Yesterday seems like a life ago
'Cause the one I love today I hardly know
And you I held so close in my heart oh dear
Grow further from me with every falling tear
It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
And further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
For now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
Now it's just another lonely day
Hey hey
Better Be Home Soon lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
And that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
And that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home maybe I'll be gone
It would 'cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
Well you can depend on it
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
And that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
And that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Black Bess lyrics - Kasey Chambers & Jimmy Barnes
(originally by Kev Carmody)
Black Bess in White light all covered in blue
Now she trips out on cocaine 'cause there's nothin to do
Since his man in' his gland they up an' shot through
You lose most in lovin' you win only a few
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenin's alone and my thoughts are on she
I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be?
His delight at the sight of a worn apple skin
Goes with his hat in his hand to the next rubbish tin
Consoled by the role that the bottle will bring
Means as much to his being as a throne to a king
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenin's alone and my thoughts are on she
And I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be?
See he with his ego on his own shadow fall
Saw a caged man with his bare hands run through a brick wall
For 45 years of his life he had shorn
Then he wakes up one mornin' to find his life gone
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenin's alone and my thoughts are on she
And I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be?
Frankie's Vietnam was spent dodgin' lead
But eventually the enemy blew off his head
His weight was a feather as they carried him in
Only half of a friend they sent home in a tin
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenin's alone and my thoughts are on she
And I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be?
Dam lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Do you think
That you've come far
Through winds so hard
And are you as disgruntled
As you appear
Are you wishing I wasn't here
Well one day soon
That dam is gonna break
And it'll wash you away
It'll wash you away
Yeah one day soon
That dam is gonna break
And it'll wash you away
It'll wash you away
From me
Do you know love
Do you push it below you
Or does it own you
And are you as ungrateful
As you appear
Are you wishing I wasn't here
Well one day soon
That dam is gonna break
And it'll wash you away
It'll wash you away
Yeah one day soon
That dam is gonna break
And it'll wash you away
It'll wash you away
From me
And that's the best damn thing
That could happen to you
Yeah that's the best damn thing
That could happen to you
For you
Heartbreak Heartmend lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Heartbreak, heartmend, here we go again
You're standing at my door
Heart make, heart rend, one more time again
This heart's gonna wind up sore
I thought we laid this ghost to rest
It's here with us again
Your husband is a good, good man
And surely needs a friend
Your high bone cheeks, your ruby lips
Your eyes so dark and deep
Heartbreak, heartmend, one more time again
My love you murd'rously
My husband is a good, good man
I know he loves me true
He cares for me and treats me well
But not the way you do
Heartbreak, heartmend, here we go again
I'm staring at your clothes
Heart make, heart rend, one more time again
Oh, god please save our souls
I love the light upon your face
I love your dusty song
Heartbreak, heartmend, one more time again
I know I'm not that strong
Heartbreak, heartmend, here we go again
You're sitting on my bed
Heart make, heart rend, one more time again
This heart's gonna wind up dead
Slip on your shoes put on your coat
It's time for you to go
Now dry your eyes and fix your hair
And kiss me nice and slow
Hey Girl lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Hey girl how you've swallowed up the years
I don't see that little baby no more
Hey girl for the record
I guess I didn't expect to see an angel at my door
And hey girl what's that dress you're wearing?
I only grew out of that last year
Hey girl where's your family?
I guess they didn't expect to see an angel standing here
And hey girl
You're growing so fast
Today the years don't seem to last
And hey girl
You got to understand
You got it all right here in the palm of your hand
Hey girl where's your mother today?
Her brother says to say hello
Hey girl when I look at you
I can see myself in you 10 years ago
And hey girl
You're growing so fast
Today the years don't seem to last
And hey girl
You got to understand
You got it all right here in the palm of your hand
And hey girl keep the curls
Don't ever change your style
And hey girl this crazy world
You don't have to worry about for a while
Hey girl how you've swallowed up the years
I don't see that little baby no more
Hey girl for the record
I guess I didn't expect to see an angel at my door
And hey girl
You're growing so fast
Today the years don't seem to last
And hey girl
You got to understand
You got it all right here in the palm of your hand
Lose Yourself lyrics - Kasey Chambers
(live at Civic Theater, Newcastle, Australia)
(originally by Eminem)
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already: Mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
There goes Rabbit, he's choked, he's so mad but he won't
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to this mobile home
Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime...
His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking and make me king
As we move toward a New World Order
A normal life is boring; but superstardom's
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
It only grows harder, he blows, it's all over
These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on: da da dum da dum
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime...
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
And I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
All this pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my 9-to-5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got
To go; I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
So here I go, it's my shot: feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes...
