Dark End Of The Street lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by James Carr)
At the dark end of the street
That's where we will always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to right our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time's gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps comin' on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Someday they may come along and find us alone somewhere
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight cover rolls around
And if by chance we're both taken in and taken downtown
But if we should meet before then, then just walk on by
Oh, sweet baby, please don't you cry
Cuz tonight we'll share the same dream
At the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
You and me
At the dark end of the street
At the dark end of the street
That's where we will always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to right our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time's gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps comin' on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Someday they may come along and find us alone somewhere
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight cover rolls around
And if by chance we're both taken in and taken downtown
But if we should meet before then, then just walk on by
Oh, sweet baby, please don't you cry
Cuz tonight we'll share the same dream
At the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
You and me
At the dark end of the street
Fortunate Son lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, the red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon right at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Ah, they really help themselves
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a rummage sale, oh yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them, "How much should I give?"
Oh, they only answer, "More"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, no
It ain't me, it'll never be me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, the red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon right at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Ah, they really help themselves
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a rummage sale, oh yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them, "How much should I give?"
Oh, they only answer, "More"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, no
It ain't me, it'll never be me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Ye Auld Triangle lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Brendan Behan)
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prision cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prision cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal
I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now) lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Otis Redding)
I've been loving you too long to stop now
There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a haven to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair (affair) grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now

My love is growing stronger, as you become a haven to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair (affair) grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now

I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no

Who Knows Where The Time Goes lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Sandy Denny)
Sad, deserted shore
your fickle friends are leaving
but i am not alone
while my love is near
who knows where the time goes?
who knows where the time goes?
sad, deserted streets
your fickle friends are leaving
i still count the time
when my love was here
who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore
your fickle friends are leaving
but i am not alone
while my love is near
who knows where the time goes?
who knows where the time goes?
sad, deserted streets
your fickle friends are leaving
i still count the time
when my love was here
who knows where the time goes?

New York lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Liza Minnelli)
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longin' to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm cream of the crop and top of the heap
These little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand-new start of it
Oh, in New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
New York
It's up to you
New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longin' to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm cream of the crop and top of the heap
These little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand-new start of it
Oh, in New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
New York
It's up to you
New York
Ramblin' (Wo)man lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Hank Williams)
Well I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some folks
Some folks might say that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I only could
I love to see the towns go crawling by
There's something I've got to do
Before I die
I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some people say
That I do just fine
Cause I hear sweet song
Moving down
And when that old southern train comes calling me
There's something over the hill
I just got to see
Well I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Now when I'm gone
When I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' woman
I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
He made me, a ramblin' woman
He made me
Well I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some folks
Some folks might say that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I only could
I love to see the towns go crawling by
There's something I've got to do
Before I die
I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some people say
That I do just fine
Cause I hear sweet song
Moving down
And when that old southern train comes calling me
There's something over the hill
I just got to see
Well I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Now when I'm gone
When I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' woman
I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
He made me, a ramblin' woman
He made me
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
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
Silver Stallion lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Lee Clayton)
I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...
Aretha, Sing One For Me lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by George Jackson)
Me and my baby, we had a big fight
We ended our romance the same night
In an angry mood, he walked out the door
I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
I don't know if taking requests is part of your show
Do me this favor and I'll love you forever
Many romances have been saved by your sound
You've touched so many lovers, so many times
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"
Me and my baby, we had a big fight
We ended our romance the same night
In an angry mood, he walked out the door
I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
I don't know if taking requests is part of your show
Do me this favor and I'll love you forever
Many romances have been saved by your sound
You've touched so many lovers, so many times
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"
Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart
"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"
Lost Someone lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by James Brown)
I lost someone
A million to one
Ten thousand people
Under my false
Someone, the one, my one
The only one
That's the someone
The someone
The only one
That someone
That I lost
He's nothing but a stranger
Come on home to me
I'm so weak on my knees
Help me, help me please
Please, please
Good god almighty I love you
I lost someone
One trillion to one
A million people
Under the big old sun I see
My one on the street
Looking like a bum
That's my one
That's my someone
He's the one
He's
Help that one
He's nothing but a stranger
Bring him home to me
He's so weak on both his bended knees
Can you help me, help me please
Gee whiz, I miss the one that I need
I lost someone
I lost someone
A million to one
Ten thousand people
Under my false
Someone, the one, my one
The only one
That's the someone
The someone
The only one
That someone
That I lost
He's nothing but a stranger
Come on home to me
I'm so weak on my knees
Help me, help me please
Please, please
Good god almighty I love you
I lost someone
One trillion to one
A million people
Under the big old sun I see
My one on the street
Looking like a bum
That's my one
That's my someone
He's the one
He's
Help that one
He's nothing but a stranger
Bring him home to me
He's so weak on both his bended knees
Can you help me, help me please
Gee whiz, I miss the one that I need
I lost someone

I Believe In You lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Bob Dylan)
They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I seem to think that I know I'm gonna make it through.
They look at me and frown,
They drove me from this town,
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe.
They show me to the door,
They said don't come back no more
We don't like the way you think you do.
So I walked out on my own
One thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe.
I believe in you even through the all tears and laughter,
I believe in you even though we're apart.
I believe in you even on the morning after.
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
When the night is disappearing
This feeling will still be here in my heart.
Please don't let me drift too far,
Keep me safe and same where you are
So I can always be renewed.
And what you've given me here today
Is worth everything I could pay
And no matter what everyone will say
'Cause I believe
I believe, I believe,
I believe, I believe in you.
I believe in you when we've had no time together.
I believe in you when white turns to black,
I believe in you even though we'll all be outnumbered.
Oh, the earth will be shakin'
And friends will be forsaken
Please, we can't go back.
They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I seem to think that I know I'm gonna make it through.
They look at me and frown,
They drove me from this town,
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe.
They show me to the door,
They said don't come back no more
We don't like the way you think you do.
So I walked out on my own
One thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe.
I believe in you even through the all tears and laughter,
I believe in you even though we're apart.
I believe in you even on the morning after.
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
When the night is disappearing
This feeling will still be here in my heart.
Please don't let me drift too far,
Keep me safe and same where you are
So I can always be renewed.
And what you've given me here today
Is worth everything I could pay
And no matter what everyone will say
'Cause I believe
I believe, I believe,
I believe, I believe in you.
I believe in you when we've had no time together.
I believe in you when white turns to black,
I believe in you even though we'll all be outnumbered.
Oh, the earth will be shakin'
And friends will be forsaken
Please, we can't go back.
Song To Bobby lyrics - Cat Power
I wanna tell you
I've always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to say
What I feel in my heart from the beginning til my til my dying day
I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were wet with sweat
And you sang the song I was screaming
I wanted you to
Another time was in South Carolina
It's always been the third encore
Whose wind came blowing in
Can you tell me who were you singing for
Oh my God, can you tell me who you were singing to
A phone call from your New York City office
You were supposedly asking to see me
And how I wanted to tell you
That I was just only four hundred miles away
Who could believe that you were calling I was in DC
I was four hundred miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart was my plan I wish I could tell you
My chance
In the middle of the stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you
Can I finally tell you
To be my man
April in Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man
I've always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to say
What I feel in my heart from the beginning til my til my dying day
I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were wet with sweat
And you sang the song I was screaming
I wanted you to
Another time was in South Carolina
It's always been the third encore
Whose wind came blowing in
Can you tell me who were you singing for
Oh my God, can you tell me who you were singing to
A phone call from your New York City office
You were supposedly asking to see me
And how I wanted to tell you
That I was just only four hundred miles away
Who could believe that you were calling I was in DC
I was four hundred miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart was my plan I wish I could tell you
My chance
In the middle of the stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you
Can I finally tell you
To be my man
April in Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man
Don't Explain lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Billie Holiday)
Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine
Don't explain
My love, my love, my love, don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
You know that I love you, but look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours.
I know I hear folks ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, right now it doesn't matter
You're with me, sit down, have a seat,
It's your turn to feel the pain.
It's your turn to weep.
Don't explain
Hush now, don't explain,
There is nothing within me now to gain.
I'm gonna skip out ??
Don't explain.
Don't explain.
Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine
Don't explain
My love, my love, my love, don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
You know that I love you, but look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours.
I know I hear folks ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, right now it doesn't matter
You're with me, sit down, have a seat,
It's your turn to feel the pain.
It's your turn to weep.
Don't explain
Hush now, don't explain,
There is nothing within me now to gain.
I'm gonna skip out ??
Don't explain.
Don't explain.
Woman Left Lonely lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Ella Brown)
A woman left lonely
will soon grow tired of waiting
she'll do crazy things
on lonely occasions
a simple conversation
with a new man now and again
makes a touchy situation
when a good thing's comin' to an end
and when she gets lonely
she's thinkin' 'bout her man
she knows he's takin' her for granted
honey, she doesn't understand
well, the fevers of the night,
they burn an unloved woman
yeah, those red-hot flames
try to push old love aside
a woman left lonely
is just a victim of her man, yes she is
when he can't give up his whole world, no
she's got to do the best that she can
a woman left lonely
that lonely girl
oh..
A woman left lonely
will soon grow tired of waiting
she'll do crazy things
on lonely occasions
a simple conversation
with a new man now and again
makes a touchy situation
when a good thing's comin' to an end
and when she gets lonely
she's thinkin' 'bout her man
she knows he's takin' her for granted
honey, she doesn't understand
well, the fevers of the night,
they burn an unloved woman
yeah, those red-hot flames
try to push old love aside
a woman left lonely
is just a victim of her man, yes she is
when he can't give up his whole world, no
she's got to do the best that she can
a woman left lonely
that lonely girl
oh..
Blue lyrics - Cat Power
Blue
Songs are like tattoos
You know I’ve been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue
Here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
You’ve got to keep thinking
There’re so many sinking
You got to keep thinking
We can make it through these waves
Acid, booze and ass
Needles, guns and grass
Lots of laughs
Lots of laughs
Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go out
I don’t think so
But I’m gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love, I love you
I love you
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you’ll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
Blue
From me
Songs are like tattoos
You know I’ve been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue
Here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
You’ve got to keep thinking
There’re so many sinking
You got to keep thinking
We can make it through these waves
Acid, booze and ass
Needles, guns and grass
Lots of laughs
Lots of laughs
Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go out
I don’t think so
But I’m gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love, I love you
I love you
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you’ll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
Blue
From me
I Feel lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Hot Boys)
I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song
I feel you don't even know how I feel
I feel if you hate me you got to get real
I feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like I could be the president
I feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
I feel you don't even know how I feel
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel
Do you feel like you could lose your life for this
Do you feel like you could fight for this
Do you feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
Do you feel the policeman I'm making you sick
Do you feel like you could be the president
feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel
I feel that they hate us, we got to get real
Got to get real, real
I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song

Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel
I feel that they hate us, we got to get real
Got to get real, real
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
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
Breathless lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds)
It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you
It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you
Angelitos Negros lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Pedro Infante)
Pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
de tantos pintores viejos
Aunque la Virgen sea blanca
pÃntame angelitos negros
que también se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos
Pintor, si pintas con amor
Por que desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere Dios
Pintor de santos de alcoba
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
porque al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro
Pintor de santos de alcoba
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
por que al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
de tantos pintores viejos
Aunque la Virgen sea blanca
pÃntame angelitos negros
que también se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos
Pintor, si pintas con amor
Por que desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere Dios
Pintor de santos de alcoba
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
porque al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro
Pintor de santos de alcoba
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
por que al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro
She's Got You lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Patsy Cline)
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And its signed with love just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you
I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records, she's got you
I've got your memory or has it got me
I really don't know
But i know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things, she's got you
I've got your memory, or has it got me
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things, she's got you
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And its signed with love just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you
I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records, she's got you
I've got your memory or has it got me
I really don't know
But i know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things, she's got you
I've got your memory, or has it got me
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things, she's got you
I Don't Blame You lyrics - cat power
Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright
And you were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around
Cuz they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn't want to play
And I don't blame you
I don't blame you
Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
Them back for all that shit on stage
But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cuz you simply deserve the best
And I don't blame you
I don't blame you
They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn't mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don't blame you
They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway
I don't blame you
Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright
And you were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around
Cuz they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn't want to play
And I don't blame you
I don't blame you
Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
Them back for all that shit on stage
But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cuz you simply deserve the best
And I don't blame you
I don't blame you
They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn't mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don't blame you
They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway
I don't blame you

Good Woman lyrics - Cat Power
I want to be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why I can't see you no more.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever.
I don't want be a bad woman
And I can't stand to see you be a bad man.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever.
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can't see you no more.
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don't love you no more.
Cause I want (to) be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man.
And I want for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why I can't see you no more.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever.
I don't want be a bad woman
And I can't stand to see you be a bad man.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever.
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can't see you no more.
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don't love you no more.
Cause I want (to) be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man.
Speak For Me lyrics - cat power
Pick us up we're all by ourselves
The great big howling is about to begin
A thousand miles from where it all begins
Old world, the whole world is
Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
The backhand to a touch is moving on again
Going on and on
What's next?
I'm out of time
Losing my touch I can't feel
Speak for me
Do you see the same signs?
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All in all, it's all or none, all for one
What you want?
Pick us out of a lineup
Stranded and strange just as innocent as kids
The found are leaving and they're trying to forget
The old world, the whole world is
Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit)
A backhand to the touch is moving on again
Going on and on

Werewolf lyrics - Cat Power
Oh the werewolf, the werewolf
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying
I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying
How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes.
How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain
When I see that it's risen; that full moon again
For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play.
All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play.
For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying
I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying
How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes.
How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain
When I see that it's risen; that full moon again
For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play.
All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play.
For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
Fool lyrics - cat power
Apartment in New York, London and Paris
Where will we rest, we're all living on top of it
It's all that we have the USA our daily bread
And no one is willing to share it
Why can't we see our fortunancy
Living as legends have lived
Bane and dismannered
We coax all the time
Knowing that nothing is left when we die
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent
Wanting to live and laugh all the time
Sitting alone with you tea and your crime
Children with kids and people with parents
Any which way there's no past and no present
When the day comes and all of them bums
Will reveal enchanting persons
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent
When it's a rut and baby's no luck
Half of it's misunderstanding love
The war we have won we're winning again
Within ourselves and within our friends
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent
Where will we rest, we're all living on top of it
It's all that we have the USA our daily bread
And no one is willing to share it
Why can't we see our fortunancy
Living as legends have lived
Bane and dismannered
We coax all the time
Knowing that nothing is left when we die
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent
Wanting to live and laugh all the time
Sitting alone with you tea and your crime
Children with kids and people with parents
Any which way there's no past and no present
When the day comes and all of them bums
Will reveal enchanting persons
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent
When it's a rut and baby's no luck
Half of it's misunderstanding love
The war we have won we're winning again
Within ourselves and within our friends
Come along Fool,
A direct hit to the sense you're disconnected
It's not that it's bad, it's not that it's death
It's just that it's on the tip of your tongue and you're so silent

Shaking Paper lyrics - Cat Power
Hold the gun
Way deep down
Look out young son
Look out young son
Good things coming
Cause the good thing's coming
Shotguns with no guns
Shot army with no army at all
I don't know what is worse
And I can't tell what is the best
People emphasize the weight of the world
Demons despise the sound of shaking paper
Guess what I found out
You
Did
Too
Way deep down
Look out young son
Look out young son
Good things coming
Cause the good thing's coming
Shotguns with no guns
Shot army with no army at all
I don't know what is worse
And I can't tell what is the best
People emphasize the weight of the world
Demons despise the sound of shaking paper
Guess what I found out
You
Did
Too
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?
Maybe Not lyrics - Cat Power
There's a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
Dream that I see, don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man, you get what you can
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
Listen to me, don't walk that street
There's always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We're just living people
We won't have a thing
So we got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
You've got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won't have a thing
So we've got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
But with your mind
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
Dream that I see, don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man, you get what you can
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
Listen to me, don't walk that street
There's always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We're just living people
We won't have a thing
So we got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
You've got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won't have a thing
So we've got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
But with your mind
Names lyrics - Cat Power
His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father sent him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of a bus
She was doin' it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father sent him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of a bus
She was doin' it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are
Half Of You lyrics - Cat Power
When you give half of you
I want all of you
When you give half of you
I want all of you
When you go back window
You see shadows
When you're shopping for me
'Cause when you give half of you
I want all of you
Sadness is a gentle mind
But a good women has her hands to use
Empty package of chips will tell you
What can be sold market and what can belongs to you
When you give
When you give half of you
I want all of you
I want all of you
When you give half of you
I want all of you
When you go back window
You see shadows
When you're shopping for me
'Cause when you give half of you
I want all of you
Sadness is a gentle mind
But a good women has her hands to use
Empty package of chips will tell you
What can be sold market and what can belongs to you
When you give
When you give half of you
I want all of you
Keep On Runnin' (Crawlin' Black Spider) lyrics - Cat Power
When will you do what you say you'll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on
You'll rule your day
Crawlin' black spider baby
Crawlin' black spider
Begin to crawl on baby with the cracks were very high
Just keep on crawlin' till the day I die
Crawlin' black spider
When will you do what you say you'll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on and you'll rule your day
Crawlin' black spider
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on
You'll rule your day
Crawlin' black spider baby
Crawlin' black spider
Begin to crawl on baby with the cracks were very high
Just keep on crawlin' till the day I die
Crawlin' black spider
When will you do what you say you'll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on and you'll rule your day

Evolution lyrics - Cat Power
Better call the ships, they been caught sailing
Better call the captain, he's been caught stealing
Better call the porter man, he's been caught leaving
Better call all the guys on the deck; they've been caught with no feeling
Better call the fisherman, cause they're coming on land
Better call the head nurse, wrap us up, to throw us in the dark
Better call with some resistance, better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence, that way you feel nothing at all
Better call on evolution, better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick
Better call the captain, he's been caught stealing
Better call the porter man, he's been caught leaving
Better call all the guys on the deck; they've been caught with no feeling
Better call the fisherman, cause they're coming on land
Better call the head nurse, wrap us up, to throw us in the dark
Better call with some resistance, better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence, that way you feel nothing at all
Better call on evolution, better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick
The Party lyrics - cat power
Good friends come out now
The party is about to begin
We can wrestle down to the floor
Throw empty bottles out the door
They'll smash and we will laugh
What a guess we have had
The light from the window
Look as of dancing shadows
Music from the back room
Is an old song we all know
Through shining eyes and smiling faces
We all sing along
(It's) been so long since I've seen you
My good friends
This memory daydream
Is good enough for me
If you were here today
We'd be getting into frisky business
Maybe some of the daydream memory
The party is about to begin
We can wrestle down to the floor
Throw empty bottles out the door
They'll smash and we will laugh
What a guess we have had
The light from the window
Look as of dancing shadows
Music from the back room
Is an old song we all know
Through shining eyes and smiling faces
We all sing along
(It's) been so long since I've seen you
My good friends
This memory daydream
Is good enough for me
If you were here today
We'd be getting into frisky business
Maybe some of the daydream memory
(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
