(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction lyrics - cat power
(originally by The Rolling Stones)
I'm driving in my car
And a man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
'Bout some useless information
Tryin' to mess my 'magination
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man come on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man
'Cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some boy
Baby, baby, baby, come back
Can't y'see
I'm on a losing streak
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin'
And I'm tryin'
I'm driving in my car
And a man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
'Bout some useless information
Tryin' to mess my 'magination
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man come on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man
'Cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some boy
Baby, baby, baby, come back
Can't y'see
I'm on a losing streak
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin'
And I'm tryin'
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
Troubled Waters lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Duke Ellington)
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes
It's like chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's water
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming 'round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
Naked If I Want To lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Moby Grape)
Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time?
My sweet time
Well I ain't got no money
I will pay this time
And I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die
And would you let me walk down your streets
Naked if we all wanted to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an aeroplane way up high in the old blue sky?
Well I got no mercy
I will pay this time
And I got no mercy
I will pay you before I die
Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time?
My sweet time
Well I ain't got no money
I will pay this time
And I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die
And would you let me walk down your streets
Naked if we all wanted to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an aeroplane way up high in the old blue sky?
Well I got no mercy
I will pay this time
And I got no mercy
I will pay you before I die
Sweedeedee lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Michael Hurley)
You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day
And I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
And I know lately
I've been havin' mine
We used to live
In a fleabag apartment
You know the kind
And he come home and he'd say to me
We gotta leave, leave, leave the city
You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way you wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
Unill the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
I know lately
I've been havin' mine.
Swee dee dee
And hang em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day
And I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
And I know lately
I've been havin' mine
We used to live
In a fleabag apartment
You know the kind
And he come home and he'd say to me
We gotta leave, leave, leave the city
You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way you wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
Unill the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
I know lately
I've been havin' mine.
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
I Found A Reason lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by The Velvet Underground)
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better come come
come come to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better
run run run run to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better come come
come come to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better
run run run run to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run
Wild Is The Wind lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Johnny Mathis)
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins, baby
You kiss me...
With your kiss my life begins
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby, please cling to me
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins..
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins, baby
You kiss me...
With your kiss my life begins
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby, please cling to me
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins..
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
Red Apples lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Smog)
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples for us
Full of millions of red apples for us
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples for us
Full of millions of red apples for us
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
Paths Of Victory lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Bob Dylan)
The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the road up yonder
With the cinders on the side.
Trails of troubles
And your road of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked out to the valley
Turned my head up high.
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky
Trails of troubles
And your road of battles,
In the paths of victory
We shall walk
The mountain was a-movin'
The hummin' of its wheels,
Told me of the new day
That was coming across the fields
Trails of troubles
And roads of battles,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard old road to ride,
But the good road is waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off.
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the road up yonder
With the cinders on the side.
Trails of troubles
And your road of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked out to the valley
Turned my head up high.
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky
Trails of troubles
And your road of battles,
In the paths of victory
We shall walk
The mountain was a-movin'
The hummin' of its wheels,
Told me of the new day
That was coming across the fields
Trails of troubles
And roads of battles,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard old road to ride,
But the good road is waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off.
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
Salty Dog lyrics - Cat Power
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candyman
Two old maids
Sittin' in the sand
One were a she
The other were a man
Salty dog
Candyman
Worst day I ever had in my life
My best friend caught him kissin' his wife
Salty dog
Candyman
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candyman

Love To Be Silly lyrics - Cat Power
Apple the sailor girl
She lived in a cabbage world
Along came Annie she pinched her fanny
Apple the sailor girl
Billy was an alley cat
Alone and so afraid
Along came tweety and there he stayed
Eating fish bones from the old fish tray
Billy lived happily ever after
Every single day
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy billy billy so silly
Billy and tweety
She lived in a cabbage world
Along came Annie she pinched her fanny
Apple the sailor girl
Billy was an alley cat
Alone and so afraid
Along came tweety and there he stayed
Eating fish bones from the old fish tray
Billy lived happily ever after
Every single day
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy and tweety
Love to be silly
Billy billy billy so silly
Billy and tweety
Deep Inside lyrics - Cat Power
The problem is
For many years
I lived my life
Publicly
It's hard to find a man I trust
I really trust
And everytime I find someone I like
I gotta worry about
If it's me
That they see
'Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who were good to me
Don't judge me
Don't think me bitter
For the evil god's allowed me to see
I'm just mary, just mary, just mary
All day, all night, I'm mary
Mary, mary, m.j.b. yeah
Can't be clothes or the car i drive
They don't make the woman
M.j.b. yeah...
For many years
I lived my life
Publicly
It's hard to find a man I trust
I really trust
And everytime I find someone I like
I gotta worry about
If it's me
That they see
'Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who were good to me
Don't judge me
Don't think me bitter
For the evil god's allowed me to see
I'm just mary, just mary, just mary
All day, all night, I'm mary
Mary, mary, m.j.b. yeah
Can't be clothes or the car i drive
They don't make the woman
M.j.b. yeah...
Wonderwall lyrics - Cat Power
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now, you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
And I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
After all, you're my wonderwall
Babydoll lyrics - Cat Power
Baby
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Baby
Red, red fire is what you breathe
Don't you want to be clean?
Honey, the shape you're in
Is worth every dime you spent
Baby Doll
Turn out the lights
Set yourself on fire
Say goodnight
Pin your hair up
A real cool time
Baby
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Baby
Red, red fire is what you breathe
Don't you want to be clean?
Honey, the shape you're in
Is worth every dime you spent
Baby Doll
Turn out the lights
Set yourself on fire
Say goodnight
Pin your hair up
A real cool time
Baby
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Free Bird lyrics - Cat Power
If I leave here tomorrow
Will you still remember me?
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change
Will you still remember me?
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change
Knockin' On Heaven's Door lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Bob Dylan)
Mama take this badge off of me
'Cause I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark
Too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
'Cause I can't shoot them anymore
Black cloud is comin' down
'Cause I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark
Too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
'Cause I can't shoot them anymore
Black cloud is comin' down
