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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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?

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

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

Hard Times In New York City lyrics - Cat Power

Old new york city is a friendly old town,
From washington heights to harlem on down.
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around,
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down.

It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state.
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,
Old mister rockefeller never says a word.

From the country,
Livin' down in new york town

From the country,
Livin' down in new york town

Old new york city is a friendly old town,
From washington heights to harlem on down.
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around,
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down.

It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state.
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,
Old mister rockefeller never says a word.

From the country,
Livin' down in new york town

From the country,
Livin' down in new york town

Darling Said Sir lyrics - Cat Power

Psychic Hearts lyrics - Cat power

I know you have a fucked up life
Growing up in a stupid town
Your mother was a mixed-up chick
And your father he just fucked around

A little too much for his own good
I'd kill the bastard if I could
I'd kill all the boys with their fucked up noise
And all the bullshit they seem to enjoy

In school
Call you slut
Nothing but
What the fuck are they into
Stupid fools
Losers assholes suck all the luck
Out of the world the world with you
If I can get it back to you I will
Kick their asses all over town
All over town I'll turn it over

I don't even know you that well
What the hell summer spell

What's it like
Goin' out
No-one knows what you're about
Abused and used and cut in two
The hollow man have nothing to do

Laugh all the time try to get high
And try to hide behind though lie

They fucked your head up
That's for sure
Your heart is ripped now wrapped in fur
But you know that sex is pretty insane
And magic seems to kill the pain
And the things that go on inside your brain
Makes you seem to think that you're to blame
Don't think about it
Grow it out
Love ah-all (?) and say it loud
Fight the scumbags that slap you around
Scream your crazy lost and found
We don't have to tell you what is right
We have all the faith it was not right

Sadness is and sadness was
And sadness will always be because
Comfort comes around from the strangest of men

I got no time for sad songs baby
Don't need you to say I'm crazy
Stick your tongue and you look at me
And I will buy it obviously
Push you down onto your knees
Do you laugh away in sleaze

You're not the only girl in town
But you're the only one that's got me down
Psychic hearts go out to you
Psychic heart go round to you

My prayer to you
Is that you do all the things you set out to do
And look yr. life the way you love
But will you remember one thing for me
I will always love you
I will always love you

We Dance lyrics - Cat Power

There are no castrations here
In a chair you will be with me

We dance, we dance
No-one will dance
With us

Jump, jump, jump, sing ...

They got some brazilian nuts
For your engagements
Check that expiration date, man
It's later than you think

You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself

Maybe we could dance together
Maybe we could dance together
But you know no-one will dance with us
You know no-one dares to dance with us

This time i see you
There will be
Fine times for ever
And you'll never get lost

Johnny's Got A Gun lyrics - cat power

Crush the resistance before it's begun
Sounds of voices you don't have to confront
Your hands upon a hero
Becoming a man
??
Better watch out
'Cause johnny's got a gun

Ooh get all the armies
Get all the arms
Get all the armories
The harbour's blocated
The streets barricated
Every thought is under lock and key
There's an ideal rising that you can't protect
From the same poor souls you say you protect
There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun

Anchored your war ships
Claimed all the air-strips
Readied the seeds of decay
Stolen youth to fill your troups
Keeping rebellion at bay
The fathers before you now lie in the graves
Being remembered before it's too late
And the sons you call rebels becoming one
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun

The hour's upon you
The past will soon haunt you
Yesterday becomes today
The helpless the hopeless
The lost ones the homeless
The weak can't afford to be brave
There's only so much a poor man can take
Before he no longer fears making mistakes
Dying's the answer
The dying be done
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun

Come from the country, come from the country
Come from the country, come from the country
The city and shore
They come from the wind and the rain
They come from the fires whose ashes are cold
They come from the desert snow
They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear
The cries of oppression that no-one can hear
To every last rebel
Surrender's all wrong
'Cause johnny's got a gun

Clear The Room lyrics - cat power

Out of tune
It's no ideal
Cannot prove
But I can squeal

Stick into
Frozen meal
Touching you
Magnetic field

Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away

Clear the room
Watch them reeling
Sex is soon
But first the feeling

Out of tune
It's so ideal
Clear the room
And watch them real

Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away

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.

American Flag lyrics - Cat Power

My friend
Sits at the drum
His magic hand
Feels nothing but
Time
Nothing but time

My old friend
Sits at the drum
His magic mind
Doesn't feel anything
American Flag is behind
If I could stand
To be less difficult

My new friend
Plays drums all the time
Her magic heart
Feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play
Difficult

She goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
Shoop eh doop eh doop eh doop
We go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
Doop eh doop

If I could stand
To be less difficult

He Turns Down lyrics - Cat Power

Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know i'm not supposed to say

Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one i'm not supposed to say

Holding on for something have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on

It's not me I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down

It is so nice to meet you
Who's gonna look at for you
It's not me, I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down

Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one i'm not supposed to say

Holding on for something
Have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on

It's not me I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down

No Sense lyrics - Cat Power

Do you remember
Do you remember
That night at context
Making up shit
Like we were animals

We made no sense
No sense
We had no sex

Can you see, can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see, can you see
The moon is so hollow
What's the use
When I can see right through you
What's the use

All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
They make no sense, no sense, no sense
No sense, we had no sex

Say lyrics - Cat power


Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to sayin the same thing
I hope all is well with you
I wish the best for you
When no one is around love will always love you

Learn to say the same thing
What defeats people is a double confession
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess something else
Talk to them they will say

Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Never give up no, never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
Never give up no, never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up

One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess the next
Talk to them they will say

Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing

Metal Heart lyrics - Cat Power

Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true, 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
By hidy-hidy-hiding
You're not worth a thing

Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed and everything
And you will be
In a very sad, sad zoo

I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing

Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing

Back Of Your Head lyrics - Cat Power

Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life

See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell

Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead

Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell

Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life

Moonshiner lyrics - Cat Power


I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whisky and beer

I go to some hollow
And set up my holy holy still
If drinking do not kill me
Then I don't know what will

I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women and men would come to follow
To see what I might spend
God bless them handsome men
I wish they was mine

Their breath is as sweet as
The dew on the holy holy vine

You're already in hell, you're already in hell
I wish we could go to hell

When the bottle gets empty
Then life ain't worth the drown

You May Know Him lyrics - Cat Power

Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much to me

Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over again
Lord heaven is the place that you sent him

And you may know him
And you may know him only you
Lord i've never doubted for an instant
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday

Lord if heaven is the place he believed in it's all you can do
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through
You came through

Colors And The Kids lyrics - Cat Power

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I wanna go ride away
To a January night
Built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become

Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name

I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear

Cross Bones Style lyrics - Cat Power

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.

I want to tell you
How much I love you

Come with me my love
To the sea

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

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

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 one
After this there will be hats on different bodies
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
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 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

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

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
You

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not enough to go around

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

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
