Oh how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
And cold as cold
When you're ending with diamond eyes
Oh come child
In a cross bones style
Oh come child
Come and rescue me
Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds
And still...
Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds
Oh come child
In a cross bones style
Oh come child
come and rescue me
Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds
And still, so still...
Oh how time flies
With crystal eyes
And cold as cold
When you're ending with diamond eyes
Oh come child
In a cross bones style
Oh come child
Come and rescue me
Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Peking Saint lyrics - Cat Power
In peking
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.
Sea Of Love lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Phil Phillips)
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down lyrics - cat power
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
Kingsport Town lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Bob Dylan)
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Wish to my sole
That I could have
The boy I'm dreaming of
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
Caused me to leave
All of New York town
With a high sheriff on my tail
A high sheriff on my tail, boys,
High sheriff on my trail.
All because I've fallen for
A curly headed dark-eyed boy
Who's gonna stroke
Your coal black hair
And your sandy colored skin
Who's gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything is alright
Who's gonna look
You straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand
Who's gonna walk you
Who's gonna talk to you
And who's gonna be your woman
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Wish to my sole
That I could have
The boy I'm dreaming of
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
Caused me to leave
All of New York town
With a high sheriff on my tail
A high sheriff on my tail, boys,
High sheriff on my trail.
All because I've fallen for
A curly headed dark-eyed boy
Who's gonna stroke
Your coal black hair
And your sandy colored skin
Who's gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything is alright
Who's gonna look
You straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand
Who's gonna walk you
Who's gonna talk to you
And who's gonna be your woman
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
In This Hole lyrics - Cat Power
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?
One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?
One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God
Good Clean Fun lyrics - Cat Power
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one

After this there will be no more
Beautiful dresses
After this there will be fast cast
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does it better
Baby, you're the best
After this there will be no one
After this there will be so many good ones
After this there will be less interest
After this there will be no one
No one

Hey, I'm really down on my luck
Hey, can I have something from you?
But it seems I have nothing to give
It seems you have nothing to give

After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest

What Would The Community Think lyrics - Cat Power
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
All the things that people do in winter,
They all melt down in summer,
Things a mirror should say,
On a very hot day
Been crying in my eyes.
Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
All the things that people do in winter,
They all melt down in summer,
Things a mirror should say,
On a very hot day
Been crying in my eyes.
Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
Nude As The News lyrics - Cat Power
I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship
And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship
And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over

They Tell Me lyrics - Cat Power
They tell me what they do
I don't know what they're talking about
They tell me what they do
I don't understand what they're talking about
They're talking about it
I did not start this conversation
I don't intend to keep talking about it
They tell me about it
Maybe if I pray to the Lord above
I'll get some sleep
But the Lord don't give a shit about me
They tell me what they do
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
I sure can't shut them up
I don't know what they're talking about
They tell me what they do
I don't understand what they're talking about
They're talking about it
I did not start this conversation
I don't intend to keep talking about it
They tell me about it
Maybe if I pray to the Lord above
I'll get some sleep
But the Lord don't give a shit about me
They tell me what they do
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
I sure can't shut them up
Taking People lyrics - Cat Power
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Whose robes did they trade you,
For such an easy life
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Who, who never told you,
About the perfect life,
Guess it's some kind of,
Some guarantee,
You'll never see.
If I was a photographer,
Picture taking,
Beautiful people,
I guess I'd make a mistake,
'Cause I'd probably take a,
Picture of you.
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way.
And whose robes did they trade you,
For such a perfect life,
That's such a guarantee.
It leaves some certain sickness,
You'll never know,
Inside of me
That's all I have
About the easy way,
Whose robes did they trade you,
For such an easy life
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Who, who never told you,
About the perfect life,
Guess it's some kind of,
Some guarantee,
You'll never see.
If I was a photographer,
Picture taking,
Beautiful people,
I guess I'd make a mistake,
'Cause I'd probably take a,
Picture of you.
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way.
And whose robes did they trade you,
For such a perfect life,
That's such a guarantee.
It leaves some certain sickness,
You'll never know,
Inside of me
That's all I have
The Fate Of The Human Carbine lyrics - Cat Power
Thinks of money all the time
Doing it to annoy her
She's on his conscience day and night
So he acts like her employer
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
He likes to take the long way home
It's another fine decision
From six to seven he'll be all alone
So he turns on televison
Doesn't even notice as the hours roll by
Gets lost inside the screen
Watches the film about the evening sky
It was someone else's dream
All come peep through a hole
Keep the bastards guessing
They all come and peek through a hole in the wall
Just to watch his heart undressing
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
'Cause you look so impressive
Doing it to annoy her
She's on his conscience day and night
So he acts like her employer
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
He likes to take the long way home
It's another fine decision
From six to seven he'll be all alone
So he turns on televison
Doesn't even notice as the hours roll by
Gets lost inside the screen
Watches the film about the evening sky
It was someone else's dream
All come peep through a hole
Keep the bastards guessing
They all come and peek through a hole in the wall
Just to watch his heart undressing
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
'Cause you look so impressive
King Rides By lyrics - Cat Power
If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?
If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Need your love more than you'll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
'Til your well is gone
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?
If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Need your love more than you'll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
'Til your well is gone
Bathysphere lyrics - Cat Power
When I was seven
I told my mother
'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'
Silver swordfish
Of electric
I can feel a dream down here
If the water should cut my mind
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind, set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
When I was seven
My father said to me
'But you can't swim'
And I never dreamed of the sea again
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind, set me
Free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
I told my mother
'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'
Silver swordfish
Of electric
I can feel a dream down here
If the water should cut my mind
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind, set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
When I was seven
My father said to me
'But you can't swim'
And I never dreamed of the sea again
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind, set me
Free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
Water & Air lyrics - Cat Power
I was dragged out by the shore man
A very poor man
A very nice man
A family man
My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water
The devil all around
Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name
Someone thought that you were me
Last night there was a party
I could not go
I walked around it
I thought about it
All night long
Today there's a newspaper
About you and me
And the day we were married,
The same day
The same day they fell in love
The same day they died in love
I did not want you to die alone
Rusty river run down
Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
Rusty river run ragged
And drag my lover's self back to me
I'll meet him there:
Water and air
Oh, to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around
A very poor man
A very nice man
A family man
My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water
The devil all around
Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name
Someone thought that you were me
Last night there was a party
I could not go
I walked around it
I thought about it
All night long
Today there's a newspaper
About you and me
And the day we were married,
The same day
The same day they fell in love
The same day they died in love
I did not want you to die alone
Rusty river run down
Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
Rusty river run ragged
And drag my lover's self back to me
I'll meet him there:
Water and air
Oh, to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around
Enough lyrics - Cat Power
Intuition said it was fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
Here they come again
I can watch
As they try, they try to take it out
Here they come again, I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
Looking down that drain of yours
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Intuition knocked again
Fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
Here they come again
I can watch
As they try, they try to take it out
Here they come again, I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
Looking down that drain of yours

Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around

The Coat Is Always On lyrics - Cat Power
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me
What happened to home
What happened to home sweet
What happened to home sweet
Home
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me
What happened to home
What happened to home sweet
What happened to home sweet

We All Die lyrics - Cat Power
Here you go
Say it that she's ill
Here you go
Marriage and kids and
Drug
Addiction
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere
Money always sees
Money always draws
The light
Hope you can see
Through the beggers
In the clear
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost in this
Sore far from home
Far from home
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost
Far from mum
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere [X4]
Stand on my feet
So I can see yours
Standing on my hands
I found my way home
Standing on my head
Great Expectations lyrics - Cat Power
I am like powder, I am like relaxation
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow

Ice Water lyrics - Cat Power
Like I heard her backwards saying
"I can take one thousand showers
and never be clean"
Of course she lied awake
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, than you found the grave
Or ever was
He's got it down now
You know what I need
Who doesn't lie?
You know what I mean
If I'm ever in doubt you
Like you don't know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
I will swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If I'm never in
Doubt of you
Like you don't know
"I can take one thousand showers
and never be clean"
Of course she lied awake
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, than you found the grave
Or ever was
He's got it down now
You know what I need
Who doesn't lie?
You know what I mean
If I'm ever in doubt you
Like you don't know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
I will swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If I'm never in
Doubt of you
Like you don't know
Still In Love lyrics - Cat Power
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Someone else stood by your side
She looked so satisfied
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it
I am still in love with you
It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you
Rockets lyrics - Cat Power
Where are the dreams of baby gone?
Coz you know it's all so good
You know it's all gone so fast
Keep all your guns at home
I'll keep your momma safe
Coz you know she's pretty good too
Where is the night so warm and so strange?
That no one is afraid of themselves
pick, pick up dig dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky fields
Of such polluted thinking
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets, my fathers
Where are the dreams of the baby's going?
Coz you know there all going so fast
Take, take as much as you can
Cuz you know its going so fast
But you know it's so good
Where are the men that mountain so brave
That they do not explode over everyone
Pick, pick up dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky field of such polluted thinking
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets, my fathers
Where are the dreams of baby gone?
Coz you know it's all so good
You know it's all gone so fast
Keep all your guns at home
I'll keep your momma safe
Coz you know she's pretty good too
Where are all the dreams of babies going?
Coz you know they're all good
Coz you know it's all so good
You know it's all gone so fast
Keep all your guns at home
I'll keep your momma safe
Coz you know she's pretty good too
Where is the night so warm and so strange?
That no one is afraid of themselves
pick, pick up dig dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky fields
Of such polluted thinking
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets my fathers
Work through the rockets, my fathers
Where are the dreams of the baby's going?
Coz you know there all going so fast
Take, take as much as you can
Cuz you know its going so fast
But you know it's so good

Where are all the dreams of babies going?
Coz you know they're all good
Faces lyrics - Cat Power
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
Wealthy Man lyrics - Cat Power
Oh I see, sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is over
Will you tell me that you've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me the hand of a night is not a hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
Oh I still see sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is dragging on
Maybe I will dream that you will tell me
You've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me
The hand is not a hand for me
Indirectly you say again the hand of
The night is not
A hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
Oh I go that far
You and the night is over
Will you tell me that you've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me the hand of a night is not a hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
Oh I still see sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is dragging on
Maybe I will dream that you will tell me
You've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me
The hand is not a hand for me
Indirectly you say again the hand of
The night is not
A hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
Not What You Want lyrics - Cat Power
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I've checked
I've checked to find
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not for you one
There's no telling how long
Go figure that out
Figure that out
I am not what you want
I am not what you want

I'll check tonight
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your head
In your head
At least I cannot see them
In your head
I'm not what you want
I'll get
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Tonight

Be here
At least I cannot see them

3 Times lyrics - Cat Power
I've seen you a couple of times
Guess I've seen you three times
Walking circles around me
When you stand in front of my eyes
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
Away
Away, away
Away
She's like a little Chinese
She is Chinese
Maybe it would be nicer if I search out
The names
She comes around you and me
And when you stand in front of my eyes
I will look
I will look
I will look
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
She looks in distress
She looks impressive
When she is dancing her little home dance on me
Roll, roll, roll away, away, away, away
Guess I've seen you three times
Walking circles around me
When you stand in front of my eyes
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
Away
Away, away
Away
She's like a little Chinese
She is Chinese
Maybe it would be nicer if I search out
The names
She comes around you and me
And when you stand in front of my eyes
I will look
I will look
I will look
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
She looks in distress
She looks impressive
When she is dancing her little home dance on me
Roll, roll, roll away, away, away, away

Itchyhead lyrics - Cat Power
There is a baby
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take a knife for
(?)one
I'm 65
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your head off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on him
So I can take a knife
And I will
I'm 99
And I'm impaled (?)
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their head off
And I would
Pour water around them
So I can take a knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water around them (?)
One, two, three, four
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take a knife for
(?)one
I'm 65
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your head off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on him
So I can take a knife
And I will
I'm 99
And I'm impaled (?)
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their head off
And I would
Pour water around them
So I can take a knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water around them (?)
One, two, three, four
Yesterday Is Here lyrics - Cat Power
If you want
Money in your pocket
A top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Come to New York City
And I'm leaving on a train
If you want stay behind, wait until
I come back again
Because all our dreams come true
All our dreams come true
One, two, three, four
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Is tears
The moon is up before me
The moon is shining bright
I want you to remember
As I disappear tonight
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Money in your pocket
A top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Come to New York City
And I'm leaving on a train
If you want stay behind, wait until
I come back again
Because all our dreams come true
All our dreams come true
One, two, three, four
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Is tears
The moon is up before me
The moon is shining bright
I want you to remember
As I disappear tonight
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
The Sleepwalker lyrics - Cat Power
I can hear - voices in the water
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think I must of lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give it away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And the birds blackface singing in the tree
If I got myself a gun
Then I could shoot down every one
Maybe I've just invented some religion
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
you've heard all this before
Already I know
A lost soul - I won't say anymore
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think I must of lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give it away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And the birds blackface singing in the tree
If I got myself a gun
Then I could shoot down every one
Maybe I've just invented some religion
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
you've heard all this before
Already I know
A lost soul - I won't say anymore
Mr. Gallo lyrics - Cat Power
Oh, Mr. Gallo, what a good friend
He's always been a name (?)
Oh, Mr. Gallo, what a good friend
Closer I've ever had
Oh, Chan, what a woman you've become
Can't say I'd ever thought that he'd look you in the eyes
Oh, and what a lover you've become
Can't say that I always thought you were a liar
Oh, you say
What a laugh you had
I cannot say I ever thought I would have had anything funny
Oh, and what a charmer you've become Mr. Gallo
Not full of hate
Great Expectations lyrics - Cat Power
I am like powder, I am like relaxation
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
Headlights lyrics - Cat Power
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Somebody was laughing in my ear
Last thing I remember
The sun was coming up
Last thing i remember
Last thing i remember
Hey the headlights are getting to
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
I can see
Somewhere above me
I can see
My friend weeping
My friend singing over me
Lifting her arms up to the sky
Lifting her arms up to the sky
....
Somewhere above me
I can hear
Like birds singing
Or are they weeping
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Let's make some coffee
And get real stoned
Hey let's play a record or two
A record or two
A record or two
A record or two
Hey the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
And I can see I'm alone
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Somebody was laughing in my ear
Last thing I remember
The sun was coming up
Last thing i remember
Last thing i remember
Hey the headlights are getting to
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
I can see
Somewhere above me
I can see
My friend weeping
My friend singing over me
Lifting her arms up to the sky
Lifting her arms up to the sky
....
Somewhere above me
I can hear
Like birds singing
Or are they weeping
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Let's make some coffee
And get real stoned
Hey let's play a record or two
A record or two
A record or two
A record or two
Hey the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
And I can see I'm alone
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
