Cherokee lyrics - Cat Power
Never knew love like this
The wind, the moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea, you and I (you and I)
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why
Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
If I die before my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m on my way down
If I die before my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Never knew love like this
The wind, the moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea, you and I (you and I)
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why
Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
If I die before my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m on my way down
If I die before my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m going down
If I die before my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m on my way down
Sun lyrics - Cat Power
Here comes, here comes, here comes the Sun
It’s hot, it’s hot, and close to us
Can guess, yes it is, here’s the day
We’re free, with me, we can finally run
If you catch a swing we can save the Sun
You come too close, and all is burning
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s still warm
Here it comes, here it comes, we’re all so tired of waiting
You said, you said who you are (You said, you said)
I wanna hear the answer to every question
It’s not that I never wanted, I just never knew
If you can, if you could lend you hand
This is the day people like we’ve been waiting for (O-oh-oh)
Waiting for (O-oh-oh)
Waiting for (O-oh-oh)
So tired of waiting
So tired of waiting
O-oh-oh
Ruin lyrics - Cat Power
I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go.
As far as I've seen, from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
As far as I've seen, from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
3,6,9 lyrics - Cat Power
I feel, I feel tired, awake all night
Head so heavy like a wastebasket
I feel a choke, emotionally broke
Here on my belly in the still of the night
I feel alone
I want out, out on my own
I want everything I own
I find letters, pictures
Memories of what you can't seem to let go
In your bedside table, in your pocket
In your wallet, you know
Abusive, a stranger in bed
Elusive, forget everything you said
You got a right to have that hand on your arm
But the moment you hit it you're on your own
You already took over
Want, now you want to hit the road
Your love is like a steamboat running on a need to float
I don't need 5 times a day
To tell me to go
[Hook]
3, 6, 9, you drink wine
Monkey on your back, you feel just fine
[Bridge]
The things you really wanted
Is the thing you want
Aaaaaaaah
Fuck me
Always On My Own lyrics - Cat Power
I was always on my own
Look in my eyes and see the one
Funny nonsense, on and on
Tell me no lie, under your love
Back to back, tick tock, has begun
Look in my eyes and see the one
Funny nonsense, on and on
Tell me no lie, under your love
Back to back, tick tock, has begun
[?]
Oh, oh, work your love
Oh, oh, work your love
Oh, oh, work your love
I want to live my way of living
I want to live my way of living
I want to live my way of living
Real Life lyrics - Cat Power
I met a doctor, he want to be a dancer
I met a mother, she want to be alone
I met a preacher, he want to be sinister
I met a kid, he want to be unknown
Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong to live your day long
Nothing's wrong to live your day long
Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong
[Hook:]
Real life is ordinary
Sometimes you don't want to live (Want to live)
Sometimes you gotta do what you don't want to do
To get away with an unordinary life
I met a teacher, he want to be a dreamer
I met a sister, she want to meet her maker
I met a poet, he want to be a joke
I met a dog, he just want a bone
[Hook x3]
Get away [x32]
Human Being lyrics - Cat Power
You've got a right
You've got a right
You've got a right, you're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You've got a right to scream
When the dark one's here to stay
You've got a right to be
What you want and where you wanna be
You've got a right to breathe
To breathe
You've got a right
You're a human being
You've got your own voice so sing
You've got two hands, let's go and make anything
We all got rules we all have to break
We all have to make those mistakes
When I say, I know the way, I'm only trying
No don't nobody know where the road to life is really lying
See the people on TV get shot in their very own street
People just like you, people just like me
Can't you see you cut your hand on the advantages
You could stand to manage your damages
You, my dear, are a force to feed, not to fear
You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being
You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, you're a human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, you're a human being
Manhattan lyrics - Cat Power
The hotel above and the street below
People come and people go
All the friends that we used to know
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
You say your heart has a rhythm
Well see you got your secret on
You say hey and nothing to hide
You and your secret life
Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be never be never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be never be never be never be Manhattan
Your badge and your suitcase on
Your suit and your hair's not right
Cause nobody knows this woman by your side
It's not me you know, it's a useful woman by your side
It's not me you know, it's a useful woman by your side
Manhattan
See your heart has a rhythm
Well see you got your secret on
She say hey and nothing to hide
You and your secret life
Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be never be never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be never be never be never be Manhattan
See your heart has a rhythm
You got your secret on
And you say you got nothing to hide
You, you, you and your secret life
You'll never be never be never be Manhattan
Hollerin' at me hollerin' at you
Hollerin' at me hollerin' at you
Liberty in the basement light
Free speech, lipstick and the moonlight
Howling to get me, howlin’ to get you
In Harlem, in a dark back room
Dancing to a different tune
Howling at me, howling at you
Silent Machine lyrics - Cat Power
Walking through woods in the streets every nights
I walked into people who walk too close
Into each other they're hanging so bright
I am told as a mother you may remember her
In the name of the father but never the ghost
Me I need the money for those just as hard
Who hung he said for the ladies I'll pretend That he did
She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around
Ah ah ah!
Silent machine is here to make sure
To put on your light and then turn around
You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie
She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around
If there ever was a religious figure
In my age it don't count to have butter cup house
She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around
Silent machine is here to make sure
To put on your light and then turn around
You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie
Ah ah ah!
Nothin' But Time lyrics - Cat Power
I see you, kid, alone in your room
You got the weight on your mind
And you're just trying to get by
Your world is just beginning
And I know this life seems never-ending
But you got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
You know what you got to do
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
Let 'em in one by one
Keep 'em safe from all the harm
Let 'em in one by one
Keep 'em safe
Yeah but
[Hook:]
They wanna live you wanna be somebody
They want to give and be wanted
They want to forgive and not be forgotten
They want to reach the end
They want to live
Their way of living, their way of living
I see you, kid, alone in your room
I see you, kid, You got the weight on your min
You're just trying to get by but your world is just beginning
And I know this life seems never-ending
It's up to you, It's up to you you know
It's only time, it ain't' got nothing on you
It's nothing but time, and it ain't got nothing on you
Never give away, never give away your body
Never, never give away your friends
Ever, never give away what you always wanted
Never, never ever give in
[Hook]
They want to live
Their way of living
You want to live - My way of living
You want to live - My way of living
You want to live - I want to live
[x2]
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
[x4]
Your world is just beginning
[x2]
It's up to you to be a superhero
It's up to you to be like nobody
You ain't got nothing but time
For your way of living
And it ain't got nothing on you
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
Peace And Love lyrics - Cat Power
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win [x2]
[Hook:]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Everybody got shit to pay
Can’t go lala with fafa hu-rah-rah
Gotta go dealing with DaDa for nada
It ain’t appropriate that I’m stoked that I get
A hundred-thousand hits on the internet
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate
I want to feel honey now, like I got money now
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate
[Hook]
I used to have scrounge money, on the ground money
Choosing Black Flag was choosing a race
They had a name for us, it was despicable
So disrespectable, we're like the dirty chemical
We were so attracted to mappable
People just wanted us to blend in and fade
Oh, you’re a horror now, a visual foul
When I was a teen, I had incredible dreams
99% y'all, it's in the wall y'all
Constitution's fine you're choosing a school
So our kids know who’s spinnin’ the globe
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I may be a lover, but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
[Hook]
Fire lyrics - Cat Power
You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like
You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher
Somebody like you
Somebody like you (higher)
Somebody like
You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher
Somebody like you
Somebody like you (higher)
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like
You set the greatest thing on fire
You laid down where you lay
You grow and grow and grow higher
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Higher
Somebody like you
Somebody like you
Somebody like
Somebody like you
Back In The Days lyrics - Cat Power
Remember back in the days
I used to abstain
Jump across before daybreak
Back to '92 again
Drinking brew again
Never going back to school again
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain
Dressed in white
Running in the rain
And I never complained
Now I'm in all black
'Cause I'm stacked
With mad guilt on my back
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
Beat down like a freak down town
When nobody came on the bad days
How much medicine you wanna do you in
Pharmaceuticals
Coochie coochie
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day
It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
I've given my name
Oh Mrs., let us discuss a suitor
Get up, shut up and get out the frame
With the win-win even with material bends
Let [?] call me
Confident through the whole damn game
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
I've given my name
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain
Always thought I'd be dead in a grave
I've given my name
I used to abstain, abstain, abstain
Amazing Grace lyrics - Cat Power (with Dirty Delta Blues)
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry
Amazing grace set me free
(Set me free)
Oh good people've been here over ten thousand years
Everyone bright as shining sun
We've got no less days to sing God's praise
From the time that we began
It would be Grace, that will bring me safe and home
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved every wretch just like me
Well I was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry
Amazing Grace
You know the rest
Well through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
Love continues to set me free
You taught me dignity
Toop Toop (A Tribute to Zdar) lyrics - Cat Power & -M-
(originally by Cassius)
After the world we all see
Get my answers from a machine
You could put on the line
So I get some peace of mind
Can't keep trying at night
Got no more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could just put me on the line
So I can get peace of mind
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could put me on the line
So I get peace of mind
I can't keep trying at night
Got no more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could just put me on the line
So I get a peace of mind
I can't keep trying at night
No more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop
What The World Needs Now lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Jackie DeShannon)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone, for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone, for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of, too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, sweet love
Wish I Was Here lyrics - Cat Power and Coldplay
(from "Wish I Was Here" soundtrack)
[Cat Power:]
It's been a night
Such a night
Such a long night
Watch myself disappear
Into the wild side
Said good bye to my hard side
Sang, saw a jackal appear
Every road, that's wrong
Seems like the road, I'm on
Every sign just seems unclear
Won't you come switch me on
Don't know where I've gone
And I, I wish I was here
In a fight, such a fight
Hell of a fight
I'm not lying, this I swear
[Cat Power and Coldplay:]
The demons that hide inside
To the wild, why am I tired
How come I'm never there
[Cat Power:]
Every road, that's wrong
Seems like the road, I'm on
Every sign just seems unclear
Won't you come switch me on
Don't know where I've gone
And I, I wish I was here
And I, I wish I was here
And I, I wish I was here
Working Class Hero lyrics - Cat Power (feat. Iggy Pop)
(originally by Marianne Faithfull)
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
But you really can't function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
(Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV)
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be...
