Cat Power Lyrics: November 2024

Sun (2012)

Cherokee lyrics - Cat Power

Never knew love like this

The wind, the moon, the earth, the sky

Sky so high

Never knew pain like this

Everything die, then die

Never knew love like this

The sun, the sea, you and I (you and I)

Never knew pain, never knew shame

Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky

Marry, marry me to the sky

If I die before my time

Bury me upside down

Cherokee, kissing me

When I’m on my way down

If I die before my time

Bury me upside down

Cherokee, kissing me

When I’m, I’m going down

Never knew love like this

The wind, the moon, the earth, the sky

Sky so high

Never knew pain like this

Everything die, then die

Never knew love like this

The sun, the sea, you and I (you and I)

Never knew pain, never knew shame

Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky

Marry, marry me to the sky

If I die before my time

Bury me upside down

Cherokee, kissing me

When I’m on my way down

If I die before my time

Bury me upside down

Cherokee, kissing me

When I’m going down

If I die before my time

Bury me upside down, down

Cherokee, kissing me

When I’m on my way down

Sun lyrics - Cat Power

Here comes, here comes, here comes the Sun

It’s hot, it’s hot, and close to us

Can guess, yes it is, here’s the day

We’re free, with me, we can finally run

If you catch a swing we can save the Sun

You come too close, and all is burning

Here it comes, here it comes, it’s still warm

Here it comes, here it comes, we’re all so tired of waiting

You said, you said who you are (You said, you said)

I wanna hear the answer to every question

It’s not that I never wanted, I just never knew

If you can, if you could lend you hand

This is the day people like we’ve been waiting for (O-oh-oh)

Waiting for (O-oh-oh)

Waiting for (O-oh-oh)

So tired of waiting

So tired of waiting

O-oh-oh

Ruin lyrics - Cat Power

I've seen gypsies who made it all the way

And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go

Nowhere to go.

As far as I've seen, from the bush

In the wilderness, to every known city

I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta

So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome

Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain

Belfast, to the desert, Spain

Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific

All the way back home, to my town

To my town

Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

As far as I've seen, from the bush

In the wilderness, to every known city

I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta

So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome

Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain

Belfast, to the desert, Spain

Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific

All the way back home, to my town

To my town

Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

3,6,9 lyrics - Cat Power

I feel, I feel tired, awake all night

Head so heavy like a wastebasket

I feel a choke, emotionally broke

Here on my belly in the still of the night

I feel alone

I want out, out on my own

I want everything I own

I find letters, pictures

Memories of what you can't seem to let go

In your bedside table, in your pocket

In your wallet, you know

Abusive, a stranger in bed

Elusive, forget everything you said

You got a right to have that hand on your arm

But the moment you hit it you're on your own

You already took over

Want, now you want to hit the road

Your love is like a steamboat running on a need to float

I don't need 5 times a day

To tell me to go

[Hook]

3, 6, 9, you drink wine

Monkey on your back, you feel just fine

[Bridge]

The things you really wanted

Is the thing you want

Aaaaaaaah

Fuck me

Always On My Own lyrics - Cat Power

I was always on my own

Look in my eyes and see the one

Funny nonsense, on and on

Tell me no lie, under your love

Back to back, tick tock, has begun

Look in my eyes and see the one

Funny nonsense, on and on

Tell me no lie, under your love

Back to back, tick tock, has begun

[?]

Oh, oh, work your love

Oh, oh, work your love

Oh, oh, work your love

I want to live my way of living

I want to live my way of living

I want to live my way of living

Real Life lyrics - Cat Power

I met a doctor, he want to be a dancer

I met a mother, she want to be alone

I met a preacher, he want to be sinister

I met a kid, he want to be unknown

Nothing's wrong with helping the strong

Nothing's wrong with helping the strong

Nothing's wrong with helping the strong

Nothing's wrong to live your day long

Nothing's wrong to live your day long

Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong

[Hook:]

Real life is ordinary

Sometimes you don't want to live (Want to live)

Sometimes you gotta do what you don't want to do

To get away with an unordinary life

I met a teacher, he want to be a dreamer

I met a sister, she want to meet her maker

I met a poet, he want to be a joke

I met a dog, he just want a bone

[Hook x3]

Get away [x32]

Human Being lyrics - Cat Power

You've got a right

You've got a right

You've got a right, you're a human being

You're a human being

You're a human being

You're a human being

You've got a right to scream

When the dark one's here to stay

You've got a right to be

What you want and where you wanna be

You've got a right to breathe

To breathe

You've got a right

You're a human being

You've got your own voice so sing

You've got two hands, let's go and make anything

We all got rules we all have to break

We all have to make those mistakes

When I say, I know the way, I'm only trying

No don't nobody know where the road to life is really lying

See the people on TV get shot in their very own street

People just like you, people just like me

Can't you see you cut your hand on the advantages

You could stand to manage your damages

You, my dear, are a force to feed, not to fear

You've got a right to anywhere, anything

You've got a right, you've got a right

You're a human being

You've got a right to anywhere, anything

You've got a right, you've got a right

You're a human being

You're a human being

You're a human being

You're a human being

Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right

Got a right, got a right, got a right

Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right

Got a right, you're a human being

Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right

Got a right, got a right, human being

Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right

Got a right, you're a human being

Manhattan lyrics - Cat Power

The hotel above and the street below

People come and people go

All the friends that we used to know

Ain't coming back

Ain't coming back

Ain't coming back

You say your heart has a rhythm

Well see you got your secret on

You say hey and nothing to hide

You and your secret life

Don't look at the moon tonight

You'll never be never be never be Manhattan

Don't look at the moon tonight

You can never be never be never be never be Manhattan

Your badge and your suitcase on

Your suit and your hair's not right

Cause nobody knows this woman by your side

It's not me you know, it's a useful woman by your side

It's not me you know, it's a useful woman by your side

Manhattan

See your heart has a rhythm

Well see you got your secret on

She say hey and nothing to hide

You and your secret life

Don't look at the moon tonight

You'll never be never be never be Manhattan

Don't look at the moon tonight

You can never be never be never be never be Manhattan

See your heart has a rhythm

You got your secret on

And you say you got nothing to hide

You, you, you and your secret life

You'll never be never be never be Manhattan

Hollerin' at me hollerin' at you

Hollerin' at me hollerin' at you

Liberty in the basement light

Free speech, lipstick and the moonlight

Howling to get me, howlin’ to get you

In Harlem, in a dark back room

Dancing to a different tune

Howling at me, howling at you

Silent Machine lyrics - Cat Power

Walking through woods in the streets every nights

I walked into people who walk too close

Into each other they're hanging so bright

I am told as a mother you may remember her

In the name of the father but never the ghost

Me I need the money for those just as hard

Who hung he said for the ladies I'll pretend That he did

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard

The wonder the person to have you cannot

Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher

To put on your light and then turn around

Ah ah ah!

Silent machine is here to make sure

To put on your light and then turn around

You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard

The wonder the person to have you cannot

Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher

To put on your light and then turn around

If there ever was a religious figure

In my age it don't count to have butter cup house

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard

The wonder the person to have you cannot

Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher

To put on your light and then turn around

Silent machine is here to make sure

To put on your light and then turn around

You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie

Ah ah ah!

Nothin' But Time lyrics - Cat Power

I see you, kid, alone in your room

You got the weight on your mind

And you're just trying to get by

Your world is just beginning

And I know this life seems never-ending

But you got nothing but time

And it ain't got nothing on you

You know what you got to do

You ain't got nothing but time

And it ain't got nothing on you

Let 'em in one by one

Keep 'em safe from all the harm

Let 'em in one by one

Keep 'em safe

Yeah but

[Hook:]

They wanna live you wanna be somebody

They want to give and be wanted

They want to forgive and not be forgotten

They want to reach the end

They want to live

Their way of living, their way of living

I see you, kid, alone in your room

I see you, kid, You got the weight on your min

You're just trying to get by but your world is just beginning

And I know this life seems never-ending

It's up to you, It's up to you you know

It's only time, it ain't' got nothing on you

It's nothing but time, and it ain't got nothing on you

Never give away, never give away your body

Never, never give away your friends

Ever, never give away what you always wanted

Never, never ever give in

[Hook]

They want to live

Their way of living

You want to live - My way of living

You want to live - My way of living

You want to live - I want to live

[x2]

You ain't got nothing but time

And it ain't got nothing on you

[x4]

Your world is just beginning

[x2]

It's up to you to be a superhero

It's up to you to be like nobody

You ain't got nothing but time

For your way of living

And it ain't got nothing on you

You ain't got nothing but time

And it ain't got nothing on you

Peace And Love lyrics - Cat Power

Peace and love is a famous generation

I'm a lover but I'm in it to win [x2]

[Hook:]

Na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

Everybody got shit to pay

Can’t go lala with fafa hu-rah-rah

Gotta go dealing with DaDa for nada

It ain’t appropriate that I’m stoked that I get

A hundred-thousand hits on the internet

But that don't mean a shit

Even if you're legitimate

I want to feel honey now, like I got money now

But that don't mean a shit

Even if you're legitimate

[Hook]

I used to have scrounge money, on the ground money

Choosing Black Flag was choosing a race

They had a name for us, it was despicable

So disrespectable, we're like the dirty chemical

We were so attracted to mappable

People just wanted us to blend in and fade

Oh, you’re a horror now, a visual foul

When I was a teen, I had incredible dreams

99% y'all, it's in the wall y'all

Constitution's fine you're choosing a school

So our kids know who’s spinnin’ the globe

Peace and love is a famous generation

I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Peace and love is a famous generation

I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Peace and love is a famous generation

I may be a lover, but I'm in it to win

Peace and love is a famous generation

I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

[Hook]

Fire lyrics - Cat Power

You set the greatest thing on fire

You laid down where you lay

You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire

You laid down where you lay

You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you

Somebody like you (higher)

Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire

You laid down where you lay

You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you

Somebody like you (higher)

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

You set the greatest thing on fire

You laid down where you lay

You grow and grow and grow higher

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Higher

Somebody like you

Somebody like you

Somebody like

Somebody like you

Back In The Days lyrics - Cat Power

Remember back in the days

I used to abstain

Jump across before daybreak

Back to '92 again

Drinking brew again

Never going back to school again

I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Dressed in white

Running in the rain

And I never complained

Now I'm in all black

'Cause I'm stacked

With mad guilt on my back

I've given my name

I've given my name

I've given my name

I've given my name

Beat down like a freak down town

When nobody came on the bad days

How much medicine you wanna do you in

Pharmaceuticals

Coochie coochie

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day

It's a good day when you know you got cloud on a cloudy day

I've given my name

I've given my name

I've given my name

I've given my name

Oh Mrs., let us discuss a suitor

Get up, shut up and get out the frame

With the win-win even with material bends

Let [?] call me

Confident through the whole damn game

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

I've given my name

I used to abstain, abstain, abstain

Always thought I'd be dead in a grave

I've given my name

I used to abstain, abstain, abstain
