It’s just the way I smile

The Cure – Plainsong

“i think it’s dark and it looks like rain” you said
“and the wind is blowing like it’s the end of the
world” you said “and it’s so cold it’s like the
cold if you were dead” and then you smiled for
a second.

“i think i’m old and i’m feeling pain” you said
“and it’s all running out like it’s the end of the
world” you said “and it’s so cold it’s like the
cold if you were dead” and then you smiled for
a second

sometimes you make me feel like i’m living at
the edge of the world like i’m living at the edge
of the world “it’s just the way i smile” you said

You don’t have to always be right

U2 – Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I… that’s alright
We’re the same soul

I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all

Can you hear me when I Sing,
you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me

Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

This Mortal Coil – Kangaroo

I first saw you.
You had on blue jeans.
Your eyes couldn’t hide anything.
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space.
I next saw you, you was at a party.
Thought you wasn’t cool, oh so flirty.
I came against.
Didn’t say excuse.
You knew what I was doing,
We looked very fine ’cause we were leaving.
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
Oh I want you, Oh I want you… like a kangaroo…

Fiona Apple – Why Try To Change Me Now

I’m sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I’ve got some habits
even I cant explain
Go to the corner
and I end up in Spain

Why try to change me now?

I seat and day dream
I got day dreams galore
Cigarette ashes that they go on the floor
Go away weekend
Leave my keys in the door

Why try to change me now?

Why cant I be more conventional
People talk and they stay… So I try
But that cant be
cos I cant see
my strange little world
just go passing me by
let people wonder
let them laugh let them frown
you know I love you
till the moon is upside down
don’t you remember
I was always your clown

Why try to change me now?

Why cant I be more conventional
People talk and they stay…. So I try
But that cant be
cos I cant see
my strange little world
just go passing me by
let people wonder
let them laugh let them frown
you know I love you
till the moon is upside down
don’t you remember
I was always your clown

Why try to change me?
Why would you want to change me?
Why try to change me now?

A Tribute To Cy Coleman

I Know It’s Over – The Smiths

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well… enough said.
I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over …
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la …
I know it’s over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
“If you’re so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you’re so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know …
‘Cause tonight is just like any other night
That’s why you’re on your own tonight
With your triumphs and good charms
While they’re all there in each other’s arms…”
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s to easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Texas – Inner Smile

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

You gave me something
Like loving
And took me in so soon
You took my feelings
from nothing
Came back at noon
Just baby I’m ready
To show myself to you
So if I lose my patience
You must try to understand
If I lose my patience
Ooooh yeaaaaaaaah
Cause you make me feel
Cause you make me feel wild
You touch my inner smile
You got me in the mood
So come on make your move
And free me
You make my wishes
As much as
Your kisses make me blue
You’ve found my river
Now will you
Escape away too
But baby
I’m ready
I’m falling into you
So if I lose my patience
You must try to understand
If I lose my patience
ooooh yeaaaaaaah
Cause you make me feel wild
You touch my inner smile
You got me in the mood
So come on make your move
And free me, free me, free me
ooohhh, oooohhh, ooohhhh, yeaaaaah yeaaaaaaaah

Sometimes I need to be alone
There’s times I need for you to phone
Sometimes you make me feel so high
There’s times I ask myself: “Why?
