Wanderer lyrics - Cat Power
Oh wanderer, I've been wondering
If you brown eyes still have color, could I see?
That night, that night with those hands, those hands
That night, that night, oh, galleon ring
With heart, wild heart, you'd sing to me
Wasn't that the lady from the altar
Twist of fate would have me sing at your wedding
With baby on my mind and your soul in between
Wild heart, young man, goddamn no one to keep
When your goal is ages out for the end of your story
Give my hand to Jesus when I ran away with you
Oh wanderer, I've been wondering
In Your Face lyrics - Cat Power
You never need, you're American
You never take what you say seriously
You're on the bed
You're on the ledge of things
You've got it made
And when you wake
It's all in vain
You never said you'd do anything
You made excuses for your mind
Objective goal and collective
Don't you dare forget it
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
Don't do it
In the age of military
You are engaged with such fanfare activity
You let them do things as they please
In a grave you're accounted for
If you were red you'd be spoken for
You're color blue is gray
In the arms of the one you love
You feel safe, you feel so above
The hunger on the streets
With your safe
And your document in its place
Your money, your gun
Your conscience, sweet like honey
You forbade yourself to think
See where you are as you begin to sink
In your mirror, in your mirror
In your mirror, in your face
In your mirror, in your face
You Get lyrics - Cat Power
You take-a-take and you a-gave-gave-gave what you get
And you'll make, make, make and you'll pretend what you forget
You never take time, no, you'll never take mine
But if you don't, you could be getting, you'll be getting again
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again
And would you want, you won't be on time
You cross the street, you got the feelin' on me
You never listened to the reason, you tell to me
You never listened to time, you never build up the times
You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get
You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get
You never listened beyond the time
And on the street, they're all talkin' 'bout the things you should listen
And on the news, they're always excusin'
And when you tell your friends what you think you ever
And, no, there's nothin' like time, to teach you where you have been
And there is nothing like time, to give you things you can need
But when you listen to the rhythm of the movements that's right
And you've been tellin' me, always tell me right
It's not nothin' I know, it's just somethin' outside
You always listen your way, but you take time to get what you want
And you tell me it's time I am wrong
And you will live in this world, and you'll get what you get
And you get what you get, and you will get what you get
But when you tell me there's another time
And when you tell me there's another time
I won't remember what you're tellin' me it's time
I won't forget, I won't forget, I won't forget that it's time
It's time, you get what you get (time)
You get what you get, you get, you get, you get what you get (time)
And you'll know when it's time, you'll get it all on yourself (time)
You'll get it again, you will be getting again (time)
On time, you'll get what you get (time)
Time, you get what you get (time)
When you take time You get what you get, you get what you get
Woman lyrics - Cat Power (feat. Lana Del Rey)
Woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman
If I had a dime for every time
Tell me I'm not what you need
If I had a quarter I would pull it together
And I would take it to the bank
And then leave
Yes, I would take it to the bank
And then leave
If you know people who know me
You might want them to speak
To tell you 'bout the girl or the woman they know
More than you think you know about me
More than you think you know me
See you walkin' in circles (circles)
See you talkin' in circles (circles)
See your thoughts runnin' in circles
Could walk around all day long, followin' me
Doctor said I was better than ever
Man, you shoulda seen me
Doctor said I was locked in my past
He said I was finally free
Took in the trunk (took in the trunk)
Took the lead (took the lead)
I knew you ought to believe
I'm a woman of my word
Now haven't you heard?
My word's the only thing I've needed
I'm a woman of my word
Now you have heard
My word's the only thing I truly need
Woman, woman, woman, woman (woman)
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Your money's like a weapon
Tool to get me
You think I'm like the other ones
Well, my money's like a weapon (weapon)
Tool for me
No, I'm not like those other ones
Cage's like a weapon
Tool for me
You think I'm like the other ones
Well, my cage is a weapon
It's perfect for me
It's the one suit that seem to not see
I'm a woman of my word
Now haven't you heard?
My word's the only thing I've needed
I'm a woman of my word
Now you have heard
My word's the only thing I truly need
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman (I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman)
I'm a woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman (I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman)
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Horizon lyrics - Cat Power
Mother, I know your face
Father, still hold your place
Sister, I'm around you
Remember me
Brother, I'm on my way
I'm visiting
Little sister, I know from where your brown eyes get
Your face on horizon I cannot see
Your face on horizon I cannot say
Mother, I wanna hold your hand
Father, I need you to be a man
Sister, if there's any help in me
I'm always on my way
Little brother, let's get on to travel
Let's get up to something
Little sister, can I have this dance?
You're on the horizon I cannot stay
You're on the horizon I'm on my way
You're on the horizon
And he looked the other way
Stay lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Rihanna)
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
And it takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Want you to stay
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Oh, the reason I hold on
Oh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
When you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
And it takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Want you to stay
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Oh, the reason I hold on
Oh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
When you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
And it takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Want you to stay
Black lyrics - Cat Power
La Grande Faucheuse
La Grande Faucheuse
La Grande Faucheuse
La Grande Faucheuse
La Grande Faucheuse
La Grande Faucheuse
Angel of death
Let me tell you a story about Black
The one memory, and the one who threw it right back
He was down so I took a ride
He moved the best way outta there so I took his advice
Oh, two seconds flat
If I'd have known he would've treated me like that
Whoa, two seconds flat
How was I to know he woulda done me like that
He had an empty gaze in his eyes like a [?]
Took me firmly, and threw the coat away, just like a fox he said
Oh, who was lookin' atchya?
Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?
Whoa, who will make it through?
How was I to know he would've done this to you?
He made his move then I was down on the lawn
I kept askin' to come up for luck
I would take it and he would turn it in, wait
Lemme catch my breath that's Black, if you can catch him with it
I was someone who believed in sin, he said
I think I know just who that is
Whoa, who was lookin' atchya?
Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?
Whoa, who will make it through?
How was I to know he would've done this to you?
A dead man now once was a friend
He ran all the way upstairs just to make my defense (Saved me)
Threw me in the bath with the ice and a slap
Can of coke down my throat, almost his whole hand fittin' in (I was dyin')
First I was amused, close to death ever been
But when the white light went away I knew death was settin' in
If I knew I would tell ya
To keep trouble off, I'd tell ya
You're the next one to get
Left with this story, that's when you go mad, that's Black
Oh (Angel of death) who's now lookin' atchya?
Who'll be a good kid now that I'm lookin' after ya?
Oh, who'll make it through?
How was I to know Black woulda turned from me to you?
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Angel of death
Robbin Hood lyrics - Cat Power
When I walk from the bright side
Carrying my clothes, going back inside
Ooh, Robbin
Ooh, Robbin Hood
When I walk home outside
Don't be caught after 8, you know why
Ooh, Robbin
Ooh, Robbin Hood
Little lady on the street side
Little bitty baby in her arms so tight
Ooh, Robbin
Ooh, Robbin Hood
Big fat cat, biggest piece of the pie
High top hat, there's no disguise
Ooh, Robbin
He's robbing you
Gun to your head, they want solely your money
Robbing my mind with all the gloves only
Ooh, Robbin
Ooh, Robbin Hood
When I walk from the bright side
Got to cover my head to my ankle or die
Ooh, Robbin
Ooh, Robbin Hood
oh, Robbin Ooh, Robbin Hood
Nothing Really Matters lyrics - Cat Power
When I see your face in the crowd
With a look of obsession
There's no subtle way to say
There's plenty of defense and discretion
Even with what's left
All the gifts put outside
It's like nothing really matters
How can other people's ways
Be an estimate of your way of life?
Can't the words, and birds, and trees, and Earth
Be the same thing, and be just as right?
It's hard, a learned test
It's so hard, a learned test
It's like nothing really matters
It's like nothing really matters
It's like nothing really matters to them
The courage to turn it around
If he could see the different way
If he could turn it on its knee and bend it down
It wouldn't really matter
But outside, a learned test
A learned test
Me Voy lyrics - Cat Power
I am leavin'
Me voy, me voy
Good is gone
I am goin'
Me voy, me voy
Good, good is gone
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I am leavin'
Me voy, me voy
Good is gone
I am goin'
Me voy, me voy
Good, good is gone
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
No more
No more
No more
Wish you could stay tomorrow
Wish you would stay
Don't go tomorrow
Don't go anyway
I am leavin'
Me voy, me voy
Good is gone
I am goin'
Me voy, me voy
Good, good is gone
Oh, oh
No more, no
Oh, oh
No more
Wish you could stay tomorrow
Wish you would stay
Don't go tomorrow
Don't go anyway
Wanderer / Exit lyrics - Cat Power
Oh, wanderer
I'll be here wondering
If your brown eyes still have color
Could I see?
That night, that night
With those hands, those hands
That night, that night
Oh, galleon ring
With heart, wild heart
You would sing to me
Who is now the lady from the other town
Twist of fate would have me sing your name
With a baby on my mind
And your soul in between
Wild heart, young man
Goddamn, I never wanted to keep
If your goal is
Ages off before the end of your story
Give my hand to Jesus
When I ran away with you
Oh, wanderer
I've been wandering
Oh, wanderer
I'll be wandering

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

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]

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
