Lucinda Williams - "Are You Alright?"

Are you all right?
All of a sudden you went away
Are you all right?
I hope you come back around someday.
Are you all right?
I haven't seen you in a real long time.
Are you all right?
Could you give me some kind of sign?
Are you all right?
I looked around me and you were gone.
Are you all right?
I feel like there must be something wrong.
Are you all right?
Cause it seems like you disappeared.
Are you all right?
Cause I've been feeling a little scared.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you
Are you all right?

Are you all right?
Is there something been bothering you?
Are you all right?
I wish you'd give me a little clue.
Are you all right?
Is there something you want to say?
Are you all right?
Just tell me that you're OK.
Are you all right?
Cause you took off without a word.
Are you all right?
You flew away like a little bird.
Are you all right?
Is there anything I can do?
Are you all right?
Cause I need to hear from you.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Andrew McMahon - "All Our Lives"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhRXldOsMXY

I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar
Life hadn't treated him so well
A heart so gold, and words so blue
In a body home from hell

He said, "If I could tell you one thing, I would tell you this:
There's only one mistake that I have made
It's giving up the music in my fingertips
By trying to get to heaven through my veins."

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

I saw this woman with tears in her eyes
Driving beside me yesterday
She turned her head, then I turned mine
And I watched her drive away

I thought, if I could tell her something, I would tell her this
There's only two mistakes that I have made
It's running from the people who could love me best
And trying to fix a world that I can't change

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

I remember being young and staring at my hands
In the middle of the night, the first light of the morning
My room like a church, voices down the hall
I barely made 'em out, but sometimes you don't want to know
Now that I'm older, I can tell you this
The mornings I miss, but I don't really miss the voices
You've got a choice, I've got the hands
Skeletons and plans, you've got to let 'em go

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

Ryan Adams - "Desire"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdVljYP7o08

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly.
The water as higher.
Desire
Desire

With no secrets.
No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason.
What is this fire?
Burning slowly.
My one and only.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

You know me.
You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

Andrew McMahon - "High Dive"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyxvYwCH524

I took the train home, facing backwards
Another hopeless chase
Echo Park, Indian summer
I wrote a new song about your new life
Like steps I retrace
Block letters in your little black notebook, yeah

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there

Headlights in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

A black jacket, a blue motorbike
Pass the mission in the moonlight
Teenagers in the alley kissing
Smell of gas burn, saw your street sign
I'm doing eighty in a forty-five
Throwing shadows you could hear if you listen, yeah

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there

Headlights in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

Flashbacks get me close
But I was staring at someone else's

Headlights in your driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Meet me on the high dive
You'll dance with your headphones on
So I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song (song)
Oh, dancing to someone else's song (song)
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Someone else's song, to someone else's song
To someone else's, someone else's, someone else's song

Andrew McMahon - "Cecilia And The Satellite"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_zY_jSVXSU

I lock myself in a hotel room,
Been waiting all night for the walls to move.
I've loved some girls that I barely knew.
I've made some friends, and I've lost some too.
Crashed my car, I was 17,
My mother in the seat riding next to me.
The things I've learned from a broken mirror,
How a face can change when a heart knows fear.
Through all the things my eyes have seen,
The best by far is you.

If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

I've café crawled through Amsterdam.
I've been around the world with a punk rock band,
And I've seen London, and I've played Japan.
I've been knocked down, I got up again.
For all the places I have been,
I'm no place without you.
If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

For all the things my hands have held,
The best by far is you.
If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

And you're the sky

Oh,Oh etc.

I'm the satellite
And you're the sky

Oh,Oh etc.

And you're the sky.

And you're the sky.

Terry Callier - "Ordinary Joe'



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0YOb5IC1js

And for my opening line
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
I turn you on,
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
Pretty music when you hear it,
Keep on trying to get near it.
A little rhythm for your spirit
Oh but that's what it's for
Come on in, here's the door

And I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Now here's a mystery
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you're fast asleep
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
Only your tears can't conceal it
And only your prayers may not reveal it
You've got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene
Well you know what I mean

Hey, I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Down here on the ground
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
Keep your game uptight
And if you must just take your secrets underground
Now politicians are trying to speech you
Mad color watchers are trying to teach you
Very few will really try to reach you
If you're lost in a stack
That's OK, come all black

Now I'd be the last to deny
That I'm just an average guy
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
Is just a little bit freer than I

Hey ordinary Joe
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
What they think is real
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
So don't let time and space confuse you
And don't let name and form abuse you
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn

Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than i

Ima Robot - "Greenback Boogie"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slgj96aXgQk

See the money wanna stay, for your meal
Get another piece of pie, for your wife
Everybody wanna know, how it feel
Everybody wanna see, what it's like
Baby wanna be a queen, well alright
We all deserve the finer things, in this life
...
...

So working on a little job, in the night
It's forty dollars an hour when I, see the light
The boss say you got a little time, and oh my
He'll be working in a small box, 'til he die
Me, I gotta be free, all my life
I want a little cream cheese, in my pie

Alright...

Yeah! I'll step back, while you go dance
The greenback boogie
Mother f*ing boogie

Now I'm putting on a big wig, walking hard
Hanging with them big pigs, all them dogs
Got me a couple ideas, straight from God
I want a bean pie
Order me a bean pie
I'll even eat a bean pie, I don't mind
Me and Missy is so very busy busy making money

Alright...

All step back, I'm 'bout to dance
The greenback boogie
The greenback boogie
Boogie for me now
...
...
...

Say, it's far better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
What people don't say, I say

It's better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now, I say
It's better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now, I say

See the money wanna stay, for your meal
I'll say it's gonna put some love, in your life
Don't you really wanna know, how it feel?
Everybody wanna see, what it's like
Babe you wanna be inside, it ain't lies
We all know there's better things in this life

Yes I'll step out, for your last dance
Doin' the greenback boogie
Mother f*ing boogie
Boogie oogie oogie
Greenback Boogie

Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to...
Come on back to...
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to...
Come on back to...

It's the greenback boogie
It's the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now
Don't give it all away now, I say

It's better, when you greenback boogie
Well don't give it all away
Well don't give it all away, I say

It's better...
It's the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away...
