Triple Shot Tuesday - The Corrs

Just because I've had the worst day imaginable, and because listening to them always cheers me up

(Heaven Knows) No Frontiers

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers and I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
And your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
And heaven has its ways
When all will harmonise
And you know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes


Queen of Hollywood

She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamor and of flair
And her boyfriend through he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

She's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood


Would You Be Happier?

Have you ever wonder where the story ends, and how it all began? I do
Did you ever dream you were the movie star with popcorn in your hand?
I did
Do you ever think you're someone else inside, when no one understands?
You are
And wanna disappear inside a dream but never wanna wake
Wake up
And then you stumble on tomorrow, and trip over today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine

Are you not afraid to tell your story now,
when everyone is done
It's too late
Was everything you've ever said or done not the way you planned
Mistake
And so you promised that tomorrow'll be different than today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine
So don't worry baby

And you're racing for tomorrow, not finished with today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think you're gonna be just fine
Would we be happier if we were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if we played a bigger part
Would we be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think we're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine

Long Day by Matchbox 20

it's sitting by the overcoat
the second shelf, the note she wrote
that I can't bring myself to throw away
and also
reach she said for no one else but you,
cuz you won't turn away
when someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
but no one else would take this **** from me
and I'm so
terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
it's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away
it's me and I can't get myself to go away
oh God I shouldn't feel this way

chorus:
reach down your hand in your pocket
pull out some hope for me
it's been a long day, always ain't that right
and no Lord your hand won't stop it
just keep you trembling
it's been a long day, always ain't that right

well I'm surprised that you'd believe
in anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
and you're so
see in life man, a pisser they're waiting
too damn bad you get so far so fast
so what, so long
(chorus)
it's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
it's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
oh God I shouldn't feel this waye


Getting BEtter by The Beatles

It’s getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren’t cool
Holding me down, turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better
It’s a little better all the time
I have to admit it’s getting better
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine.
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I’m doing the best that I can.
I admit it’s getting better
It’s a little better all the time yes
I admit it’s getting better
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine.
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her from the
Things that she loved
Man I was mean but I’m changing my scene
And I’m doing the ebst that I can.
I admit it’s getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it’s getting better
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine.
Getting so much better all the time.

To boann and DM...

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance....
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance....
I hope you dance
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance....I hope you dance

I'LL BE SEEING YOU

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small café, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you


I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

NO SURRENDER
Bruce Springsteen

Well, we bursted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
And follow your dreams down

Chorus:
Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Well, now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
Now I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home
Across the open yards
Well maybe we'll cut someplace of own
With these drums and these guitars

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
You say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath
Peaceful skies in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head

Once we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in a stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

"Heartsounds"

by Rebecca Lynn Howard (Rebecca Lynn Howard/Marty Dodson)


I can't find the words to describe
How it feels bein' loved by you
I stand there like the cat's got my tongue
Nothin's ever left me speechless like you do
Each time when we're together
There's so much that I would like to say
And I think I've found a way


(Listen to my) heartsounds (ooh, ahh)
Every time that it pounds, I hear (ooh la la)
I just can't hide the way I feel inside, no way (hey, yeah)
'Cause whenever you're around (oh, oh)
It won't settle down (Mmmmm)
Listen, can't you hear it callin' your name (ahh)

You make emotions come over me
That take a heart to express
Ooh, and if you'll listen carefully
You'll hear the message beatin' in my chest
So I guess what I'm confessin'
Is there's no one who moves me like you do
If you ever doubt it's true

(Listen to my) heartsounds (ooh, ahh)
Every time that it pounds, I hear (ooh la la)
I just can't hide the way I feel inside, no way (hey, yeah)
'Cause whenever you're around (oh, oh)
It won't settle down (Mmmmm)
Listen, can't you hear it callin' your name (ahh)

Iona - Wave After Wave

Wave after wave rolls in
And the water falls and the line is drawn
Wave after wave rolls in
And the line is gone
Where my feet have been

Hills that I know are there
Hidden from my view by the misty air
Light shining through the grey
Turns the water deep shades of lilac blue

Music in every sound
Light beyond each cloud, hope in every dream
Songs like a healing breeze
Every breath inhale and the goodness feel

I witness the power, great mystery telling
In every moment, with every swelling wave
I feel the depth of your love and devotion
My heart like the bird that dives into this ocean blue

Lanes that have brought me here
Framed in season flowers, lined in summer green
Music in every soundLight beyond each cloud, hope in every dream
Songs like a healing breeze
Every breath inhale and the goodness feel
Rise from the bird above
From the flower below in a song of love

[SlowwHand]

I'm An Old Cowhand
Written by: Johnny Mercer

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And my legs ain't bowed, my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay


And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
'cause I learned them all on the radio
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

[Anodyne]

Star A.D. by Faith No More
Star A.D.

See tomorrow dreamin'
You don't need your freedom

Star A.D.

A little joke that's understood
All over the world
A little joke that's understood
It's all over and over and over and over

And dying is dry -
Like a fact of history
And when you die, you'll become
something worse
Than dead -
You'll become
A legend

We are forever.

[SlowwHand]

Triple Shot Thursday; Linda Ronstadt

Heat Wave


Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I 'ain't never felt like this before

But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance

Heatwave

------------------------------------------------------------

Long Long Time


Love will abide
Take things in stride
Sounds like good advice
But there's no one at my side

And time washes clean
Love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me
But I don't know what it means

Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me
When you never let me near

And I never drew
One response from you
All the while you fell
Over girls you never knew

And I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long, long time

Wait for the day, you go away
Knowing that you warned me
Of the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of loss
Who knows the cost
Living in the memory
Of the love that never was

Cause I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you
For a long, long time
And I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time

------------------------------------------------------------------

Different Drum


You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Evertime you make eyes at me
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I'm not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me
Yes and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin's that I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So goodbye, I'll be leavin' I see no sense
In this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me

[Anodyne]

Emerald Green by Babylon Whores

Darling
There is an angel
To teach you see
With the eyes of emerald green

For darling
All love is witchery
Godforsaken deviltry
To draw our blood for all world to drink

And love will come
And love will go
Oh suffer not a wish to live
For you can't follow

And darling
There is an angel
To teach you wisdom of all heaven
The pride of all hell

For darling
All knowledge comes with pain
And all things are still the same
No matter what their name

And if nothing is true
More or less
The only truth must be
Nothingness

[Sprayber]

RIDE ON
ACDC (Young, Young & Scott)


It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep ridin' on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat

But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

Song- I Love a Snot

Shaky shaky hands
Shaky shaky legs
Shaky shaky stomach
When I am with you
Shaky shaky thoughts
Each and every one
When I am with you
Run tubby, run to

Tubby tubby butt
Tubby tubby face
Tubby tubby stomach
When I am with you
Icky icky breath
Each and every kiss
When I am with you
Where does it ??go into??

You're a snot
And I adore you
I love a snot, hey

Rotten rotten luck
Rotting rotting rotting
What am I to do
When I am with you
Run tubby run,
Run tubby run,
Run tubby run
Run tubby run

You're a snot
And I adore you
I love a snot

You're a snot
And I adore you
I love a snot, hey, hey
