Amazing Grace lyrics - Cat Power (with Dirty Delta Blues)
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry
Amazing grace set me free
(Set me free)
Oh good people've been here over ten thousand years
Everyone bright as shining sun
We've got no less days to sing God's praise
From the time that we began
It would be Grace, that will bring me safe and home
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved every wretch just like me
Well I was lost, I was blind
I was poor and hungry
Amazing Grace
You know the rest
Well through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
Love continues to set me free
You taught me dignity
Toop Toop (A Tribute to Zdar) lyrics - Cat Power & -M-
(originally by Cassius)
After the world we all see
Get my answers from a machine
You could put on the line
So I get some peace of mind
Can't keep trying at night
Got no more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could just put me on the line
So I can get peace of mind
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could put me on the line
So I get peace of mind
I can't keep trying at night
Got no more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
Toop toop
After the world we all see
I get my answers from a machine
You could just put me on the line
So I get a peace of mind
I can't keep trying at night
No more strength to keep up the fight
Hanging on to hear the ring
All I get is a machine
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop (toop)
Toop toop
What The World Needs Now lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Jackie DeShannon)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone, for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone, for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of, too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, sweet love
Wish I Was Here lyrics - Cat Power and Coldplay
(from "Wish I Was Here" soundtrack)
[Cat Power:]
It's been a night
Such a night
Such a long night
Watch myself disappear
Into the wild side
Said good bye to my hard side
Sang, saw a jackal appear
Every road, that's wrong
Seems like the road, I'm on
Every sign just seems unclear
Won't you come switch me on
Don't know where I've gone
And I, I wish I was here
In a fight, such a fight
Hell of a fight
I'm not lying, this I swear
[Cat Power and Coldplay:]
The demons that hide inside
To the wild, why am I tired
How come I'm never there
[Cat Power:]
Every road, that's wrong
Seems like the road, I'm on
Every sign just seems unclear
Won't you come switch me on
Don't know where I've gone
And I, I wish I was here
And I, I wish I was here
And I, I wish I was here
Working Class Hero lyrics - Cat Power (feat. Iggy Pop)
(originally by Marianne Faithfull)
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
But you really can't function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
(Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV)
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be...
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

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,

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"

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
Lord, Help The Poor And Needy lyrics - Cat Power

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

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

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

de pintar un ángel negro
Pintor de santos de alcoba

te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias

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

'Cause when you give half 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

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

Unill the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes

I've been havin' mine.
Swee dee dee

And he come home and he'd say to me
We gotta leave, leave, leave the city

I've been havin' mine.
In This Hole lyrics - Cat Power
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?
One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?
One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this
In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do
I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God
I Found A Reason lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by The Velvet Underground)
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better come come
come come to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better
run run run run to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better come come
come come to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better
Than what came before
And you better
run run run run to me
Better run run run run run to me
Better come come come come come to me
Better run
Wild Is The Wind lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Johnny Mathis)
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins, baby
You kiss me...
With your kiss my life begins
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby, please cling to me
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins..
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins, baby
You kiss me...
With your kiss my life begins
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby, please cling to me
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins..
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
Red Apples lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Smog)
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples for us
Full of millions of red apples for us
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples for us
Full of millions of red apples for us
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
And it was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
Paths Of Victory lyrics - Cat Power
(originally by Bob Dylan)
The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the road up yonder
With the cinders on the side.
Trails of troubles
And your road of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked out to the valley
Turned my head up high.
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky
Trails of troubles
And your road of battles,
In the paths of victory
We shall walk
The mountain was a-movin'
The hummin' of its wheels,
Told me of the new day
That was coming across the fields
Trails of troubles
And roads of battles,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard old road to ride,
But the good road is waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off.
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the road up yonder
With the cinders on the side.
Trails of troubles
And your road of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked out to the valley
Turned my head up high.
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky
Trails of troubles
And your road of battles,
In the paths of victory
We shall walk
The mountain was a-movin'
The hummin' of its wheels,
Told me of the new day
That was coming across the fields
Trails of troubles
And roads of battles,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard old road to ride,
But the good road is waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off.
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle,
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
Salty Dog lyrics - Cat Power
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candyman
Two old maids
Sittin' in the sand
One were a she
The other were a man
Salty dog
Candyman
Worst day I ever had in my life
My best friend caught him kissin' his wife
Salty dog
Candyman
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog

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

To rockefeller center n' the empire state.
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,
Old mister rockefeller never says a word.

Psychic Hearts lyrics - Cat power
I know you have a fucked up life
Growing up in a stupid town
Your mother was a mixed-up chick
And your father he just fucked around
A little too much for his own good
I'd kill the bastard if I could
I'd kill all the boys with their fucked up noise
And all the bullshit they seem to enjoy
In school
Call you slut
Nothing but
What the fuck are they into
Stupid fools
Losers assholes suck all the luck
Out of the world the world with you
If I can get it back to you I will
Kick their asses all over town
All over town I'll turn it over
I don't even know you that well
What the hell summer spell
What's it like
Goin' out
No-one knows what you're about
Abused and used and cut in two
The hollow man have nothing to do
Laugh all the time try to get high
And try to hide behind though lie
They fucked your head up
That's for sure
Your heart is ripped now wrapped in fur
But you know that sex is pretty insane
And magic seems to kill the pain
And the things that go on inside your brain
Makes you seem to think that you're to blame
Don't think about it
Grow it out
Love ah-all (?) and say it loud
Fight the scumbags that slap you around
Scream your crazy lost and found
We don't have to tell you what is right
We have all the faith it was not right
Sadness is and sadness was
And sadness will always be because
Comfort comes around from the strangest of men
I got no time for sad songs baby
Don't need you to say I'm crazy
Stick your tongue and you look at me
And I will buy it obviously
Push you down onto your knees
Do you laugh away in sleaze
You're not the only girl in town
But you're the only one that's got me down
Psychic hearts go out to you
Psychic heart go round to you
My prayer to you
Is that you do all the things you set out to do
And look yr. life the way you love
But will you remember one thing for me
I will always love you
I will always love you
Growing up in a stupid town
Your mother was a mixed-up chick
And your father he just fucked around
A little too much for his own good
I'd kill the bastard if I could
I'd kill all the boys with their fucked up noise
And all the bullshit they seem to enjoy
In school
Call you slut
Nothing but
What the fuck are they into
Stupid fools
Losers assholes suck all the luck
Out of the world the world with you
If I can get it back to you I will
Kick their asses all over town
All over town I'll turn it over
I don't even know you that well
What the hell summer spell
What's it like
Goin' out
No-one knows what you're about
Abused and used and cut in two
The hollow man have nothing to do
Laugh all the time try to get high
And try to hide behind though lie

But you know that sex is pretty insane
And magic seems to kill the pain
And the things that go on inside your brain

We Dance lyrics - Cat Power
There are no castrations here
In a chair you will be with me
We dance, we dance
No-one will dance
With us
Jump, jump, jump, sing ...
They got some brazilian nuts
For your engagements
Check that expiration date, man
It's later than you think
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
Maybe we could dance together
Maybe we could dance together
But you know no-one will dance with us
You know no-one dares to dance with us
This time i see you
There will be
Fine times for ever
And you'll never get lost
In a chair you will be with me
We dance, we dance
No-one will dance
With us
Jump, jump, jump, sing ...
They got some brazilian nuts
For your engagements
Check that expiration date, man
It's later than you think
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
You can enjoy yourself
I can enjoy myself
Maybe we could dance together
Maybe we could dance together
But you know no-one will dance with us
You know no-one dares to dance with us
This time i see you
There will be
Fine times for ever
And you'll never get lost
Johnny's Got A Gun lyrics - cat power
Crush the resistance before it's begun
Sounds of voices you don't have to confront
Your hands upon a hero
Becoming a man
??
Better watch out
'Cause johnny's got a gun
Ooh get all the armies
Get all the arms
Get all the armories
The harbour's blocated
The streets barricated
Every thought is under lock and key
There's an ideal rising that you can't protect
From the same poor souls you say you protect
There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
Anchored your war ships
Claimed all the air-strips
Readied the seeds of decay
Stolen youth to fill your troups
Keeping rebellion at bay
The fathers before you now lie in the graves
Being remembered before it's too late
And the sons you call rebels becoming one
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
The hour's upon you
The past will soon haunt you
Yesterday becomes today
The helpless the hopeless
The lost ones the homeless
The weak can't afford to be brave
There's only so much a poor man can take
Before he no longer fears making mistakes
Dying's the answer
The dying be done
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
Come from the country, come from the country
Come from the country, come from the country
The city and shore
They come from the wind and the rain
They come from the fires whose ashes are cold
They come from the desert snow
They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear
The cries of oppression that no-one can hear
To every last rebel
Surrender's all wrong
'Cause johnny's got a gun
Sounds of voices you don't have to confront
Your hands upon a hero
Becoming a man
??
Better watch out
'Cause johnny's got a gun
Ooh get all the armies
Get all the arms
Get all the armories
The harbour's blocated
The streets barricated
Every thought is under lock and key
There's an ideal rising that you can't protect
From the same poor souls you say you protect
There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
Anchored your war ships
Claimed all the air-strips
Readied the seeds of decay
Stolen youth to fill your troups
Keeping rebellion at bay
The fathers before you now lie in the graves
Being remembered before it's too late
And the sons you call rebels becoming one
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
The hour's upon you
The past will soon haunt you
Yesterday becomes today
The helpless the hopeless
The lost ones the homeless
The weak can't afford to be brave
There's only so much a poor man can take
Before he no longer fears making mistakes
Dying's the answer
The dying be done
Better watch out because johnny's got a gun
Come from the country, come from the country
Come from the country, come from the country
The city and shore
They come from the wind and the rain
They come from the fires whose ashes are cold
They come from the desert snow
They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear
The cries of oppression that no-one can hear
To every last rebel
Surrender's all wrong
'Cause johnny's got a gun
Clear The Room lyrics - cat power
Out of tune
It's no ideal
Cannot prove
But I can squeal
Stick into
Frozen meal
Touching you
Magnetic field
Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away
Clear the room
Watch them reeling
Sex is soon
But first the feeling
Out of tune
It's so ideal
Clear the room
And watch them real
Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away
It's no ideal
Cannot prove
But I can squeal
Stick into
Frozen meal
Touching you
Magnetic field
Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away
Clear the room
Watch them reeling
Sex is soon
But first the feeling
Out of tune
It's so ideal
Clear the room
And watch them real
Take the loo
Bruise the fruit
Forget what to say
Call your bluff
Get away
Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down lyrics - Cat Power
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
American Flag lyrics - Cat Power
My friend
Sits at the drum
His magic hand
Feels nothing but
Time
Nothing but time
My old friend
Sits at the drum
His magic mind
Doesn't feel anything
American Flag is behind
If I could stand
To be less difficult
My new friend
Plays drums all the time
Her magic heart
Feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play
Difficult
She goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
Shoop eh doop eh doop eh doop
We go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
Doop eh doop
If I could stand
To be less difficult
Sits at the drum
His magic hand
Feels nothing but
Time
Nothing but time
My old friend
Sits at the drum
His magic mind
Doesn't feel anything
American Flag is behind
If I could stand
To be less difficult
My new friend
Plays drums all the time
Her magic heart
Feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play
Difficult
She goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
Shoop eh doop eh doop eh doop
We go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
Doop eh doop
If I could stand
To be less difficult
He Turns Down lyrics - Cat Power
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know i'm not supposed to say
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one i'm not supposed to say
Holding on for something have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on
It's not me I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down
It is so nice to meet you
Who's gonna look at for you
It's not me, I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one i'm not supposed to say
Holding on for something
Have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on
It's not me I am pretending
I'm not saved he turned me down
He turns down
You know the one i'm talking about

No Sense lyrics - Cat Power
Do you remember
Do you remember
That night at context
Making up shit
Like we were animals
We made no sense
No sense
We had no sex
Can you see, can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see, can you see
The moon is so hollow
What's the use
When I can see right through you
What's the use
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
They make no sense, no sense, no sense
No sense, we had no sex
Do you remember
That night at context
Making up shit
Like we were animals
We made no sense
No sense
We had no sex
Can you see, can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see, can you see
The moon is so hollow
What's the use
When I can see right through you
What's the use
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
They make no sense, no sense, no sense
No sense, we had no sex
Say lyrics - Cat power
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to sayin the same thing
I hope all is well with you
I wish the best for you
When no one is around love will always love you
Learn to say the same thing
What defeats people is a double confession
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess something else
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Never give up no, never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
Never give up no, never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess the next
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Metal Heart lyrics - Cat Power
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true, 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
By hidy-hidy-hiding
You're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed and everything
And you will be
In a very sad, sad zoo
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true, 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
By hidy-hidy-hiding
You're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed and everything
And you will be
In a very sad, sad zoo
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Back Of Your Head lyrics - Cat Power
Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead
Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead
Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
Moonshiner lyrics - Cat Power
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whisky and beer
I go to some hollow
And set up my holy holy still
If drinking do not kill me
Then I don't know what will
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women and men would come to follow
To see what I might spend
God bless them handsome men
I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet as
The dew on the holy holy vine
You're already in hell, you're already in hell
I wish we could go to hell
When the bottle gets empty
Then life ain't worth the drown
You May Know Him lyrics - Cat Power
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much to me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over again
Lord heaven is the place that you sent him
And you may know him
And you may know him only you
Lord i've never doubted for an instant
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
Lord if heaven is the place he believed in it's all you can do
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through
You came through
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much to me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over again
Lord heaven is the place that you sent him
And you may know him
And you may know him only you
Lord i've never doubted for an instant
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
Lord if heaven is the place he believed in it's all you can do
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through
You came through
Colors And The Kids lyrics - Cat Power
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I wanna go ride away
To a January night
Built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I wanna go ride away
To a January night
Built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear

Peking Saint lyrics - Cat Power
In peking
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.

Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love

How much I love you
Come with me my love

The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you

Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down lyrics - cat power
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
Weighted down by possessions
I'm weighted down with my gun
I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
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
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
Good Clean Fun lyrics - Cat Power
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one

After this there will be hats on different bodies
After this there will be no more
Beautiful dresses
After this there will be fast cast
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does it better
Baby, you're the best
After this there will be no one
After this there will be so many good ones
After this there will be less interest
After this there will be no one
No one

Hey, I'm really down on my luck
Hey, can I have something from you?
But it seems I have nothing to give
It seems you have nothing to give
After this there will be no one

After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest

After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does it better
Baby, you're the best
What Would The Community Think lyrics - Cat Power
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
All the things that people do in winter,
They all melt down in summer,
Things a mirror should say,
On a very hot day
Been crying in my eyes.
Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
All the things that people do in winter,
They all melt down in summer,
Things a mirror should say,
On a very hot day
Been crying in my eyes.
Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
Nude As The News lyrics - Cat Power
I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship
And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship
And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You
They Tell Me lyrics - Cat Power
They tell me what they do
I don't know what they're talking about
They tell me what they do
I don't understand what they're talking about
They're talking about it
I did not start this conversation
I don't intend to keep talking about it
They tell me about it
Maybe if I pray to the Lord above
I'll get some sleep
But the Lord don't give a shit about me
They tell me what they do
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
I sure can't shut them up
I don't know what they're talking about
They tell me what they do
I don't understand what they're talking about
They're talking about it
I did not start this conversation
I don't intend to keep talking about it
They tell me about it
Maybe if I pray to the Lord above
I'll get some sleep
But the Lord don't give a shit about me
They tell me what they do
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
I sure can't shut them up
Taking People lyrics - Cat Power
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Whose robes did they trade you,
For such an easy life
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Who, who never told you,
About the perfect life,
Guess it's some kind of,
Some guarantee,
You'll never see.
If I was a photographer,
Picture taking,
Beautiful people,
I guess I'd make a mistake,
'Cause I'd probably take a,
Picture of you.
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way.
And whose robes did they trade you,
For such a perfect life,
That's such a guarantee.
It leaves some certain sickness,
You'll never know,
Inside of me
That's all I have
About the easy way,
Whose robes did they trade you,
For such an easy life
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Who, who never told you,
About the perfect life,
Guess it's some kind of,
Some guarantee,
You'll never see.
If I was a photographer,
Picture taking,
Beautiful people,

'Cause I'd probably take a,
Picture of you.

And whose robes did they trade you,
For such a perfect life,
That's such a guarantee.

The Fate Of The Human Carbine lyrics - Cat Power
Thinks of money all the time
Doing it to annoy her
She's on his conscience day and night
So he acts like her employer
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
He likes to take the long way home
It's another fine decision
From six to seven he'll be all alone
So he turns on televison
Doesn't even notice as the hours roll by
Gets lost inside the screen
Watches the film about the evening sky
It was someone else's dream
All come peep through a hole
Keep the bastards guessing
They all come and peek through a hole in the wall
Just to watch his heart undressing
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
'Cause you look so impressive
Doing it to annoy her
She's on his conscience day and night
So he acts like her employer
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
He likes to take the long way home
It's another fine decision
From six to seven he'll be all alone
So he turns on televison
Doesn't even notice as the hours roll by
Gets lost inside the screen
Watches the film about the evening sky
It was someone else's dream
All come peep through a hole
Keep the bastards guessing
They all come and peek through a hole in the wall
Just to watch his heart undressing
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
'Cause you look so impressive
King Rides By lyrics - Cat Power
If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?
If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Need your love more than you'll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
'Til your well is gone
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?
If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Need your love more than you'll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
'Til your well is gone
Bathysphere lyrics - Cat Power
When I was seven
I told my mother
'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'
Silver swordfish
Of electric
I can feel a dream down here
If the water should cut my mind
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind, set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
When I was seven
My father said to me
'But you can't swim'
And I never dreamed of the sea again
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind, set me
Free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
I told my mother
'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'
Silver swordfish
Of electric
I can feel a dream down here
If the water should cut my mind
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my mind, set me free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
When I was seven
My father said to me
'But you can't swim'
And I never dreamed of the sea again
If the water should cut my life
If the water should cut my line
If the water should cut my mind, set me
Free
I don't care
I want to live in a bathysphere
Water & Air lyrics - Cat Power
I was dragged out by the shore man
A very poor man
A very nice man
A family man
My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water
The devil all around
Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name
Someone thought that you were me
Last night there was a party
I could not go
I walked around it
I thought about it
All night long
Today there's a newspaper
About you and me
And the day we were married,
The same day
The same day they fell in love
The same day they died in love
I did not want you to die alone
Rusty river run down
Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
Rusty river run ragged
And drag my lover's self back to me
I'll meet him there:
Water and air
Oh, to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around
A very poor man
A very nice man
A family man
My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water
The devil all around
Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name
Someone thought that you were me
Last night there was a party
I could not go
I walked around it
I thought about it
All night long
Today there's a newspaper
About you and me
And the day we were married,
The same day
The same day they fell in love
The same day they died in love
I did not want you to die alone
Rusty river run down
Run, run as fast as you can, oh, run
Rusty river run ragged
And drag my lover's self back to me
I'll meet him there:
Water and air
Oh, to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around
Enough lyrics - Cat Power
Intuition said it was fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
Here they come again
I can watch
As they try, they try to take it out
Here they come again, I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
Looking down that drain of yours
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Intuition knocked again
Fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
Here they come again
I can watch
As they try, they try to take it out
Here they come again, I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
Looking down that drain of yours
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Intuition knocked again
Fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
The Coat Is Always On lyrics - Cat Power
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me
What happened to home
What happened to home sweet
What happened to home sweet
Home
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate
Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me
What happened to home
What happened to home sweet
What happened to home sweet
Home
Enough lyrics - Cat Power
Intuition said it was fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
Here they come again
I can watch
As they try, they try to take it out
Here they come again, I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
I've seen the hordes, the hordes
Looking down that drain of yours
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Cartoon blue jay
Cartoon black bay, too
Intuition knocked again
Fair
Only you should know by now there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
Other half of me says I should
We All Die lyrics - Cat Power
Here you go
Say it that she's ill
Here you go
Marriage and kids and
Drug
Addiction
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere
Money always sees
Money always draws
The light
Hope you can see
Through the beggers
In the clear
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost in this
Sore far from home
Far from home
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost
Far from mum
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere [X4]
Stand on my feet
So I can see yours
Standing on my hands
I found my way home
Standing on my head
Great Expectations lyrics - Cat Power
I am like powder, I am like relaxation
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
Top Expert lyrics - Cat power
In the light that I
Feel
I see crucifixes and
Expectancy
And I feel
So safe
Foot by foot
I feel like a
Beat cast-off
I feel so
Ashamed

Supernatural
Tell us oh how do we
Catch a ghost in the
Dark
10 years richer with my
Magnet shield
I feel
Crucified
Backwards
Not too close
And I still feel so
Safe
Being olderly
But feel like I'm passing
I winning
I winning
And I still feel so

Tell us oh how do we
Make it in the shade
Hey made of shame
Hope you don't hate it
In the shade

In a jar

Expectancy
And I feel
So safe
Foot by foot

Beat cast-off
I feel so
