I can’t tell the difference between ‘alone’ and ‘being lonely’, but I guess the second one is killing me tonight.
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I’ve been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we metAnd then I can tell myself
What the hell I’m supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with youI had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we metWhen the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we metI had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we metWriter(s): Ben Schneider

I’ve been getting kinda brave
Getting liquored up and loose
Not been trying to behave
Been tying knots to shape the noose
Ooho I’m wild at heart
Ooho I’ve just got to start
I said one two well hand me a light
Oh three four I don’t wanna be right
Oh yeah you should be glad
I said one two well stand to dissention
Three four you got my attention
Oh teach me to be bad.If I were coming off the rails
Dropped my eyes and dropped my dress
Would your moral stand prevail
Or would you fold like all the rest
Ooho ain’t we got fun
Ooho let’s come undone
I said one two well hand me a light
Oh three four I don’t wanna be right
Oh yeah you should be glad
I said one two stand to dissention
Three four you got my attention.
Boys teach me to be bad.So c’mon misshape me forever
I’ll be the cutest villain you’ve ever seen
We’ll be the best bad guys together
Be the inscrutable machine
No I’m not hard to please
Oh boy just get on your knees
I said one two well hand me a light
Oh three four I don’t wanna be right
Oh yeah you should be glad
Ooho I said one two stand to dissention
Three four you got my attention.
Boys teach me to be bad

Come down from your mountain
I miss your holy shouting
These days I can’t make you make a sound
Take me to the times when
We’d look up to the skies
And climb up there and draw the thunder down
Now I’m forcing myself into
What you’ve already been through
But darling I can’t help the way I feel
And you need something stronger
A drug to kill the hunger
And ease the awful pain of living hereAnd I’m the kind of love it hurts to look at
And maybe we should take it as a sign
When I’m strung out on leaving
Exalting all my demons
And you don’t care for me enough to cryI dreamt I’d take you with me
And you’d say you forgive me
And we’d live out some easy, ancient song
Now we’re out here unattended
In splendid love’s remembrance
You lost the mind to even do me wrongAnd I’m the kind of love it hurts to look at
But once I was enough to make you try
Now I’m underneath the rubble
Trying not to feel the trouble
And you don’t care for me enough to crySo here’s hoping I can change tomorrow
You wanted hard as nails cut and dry
But I beg, steal, and borrow
I’m so damn good at sorrow
And you don’t care for me enough to cryWriter(s): John Moreland

Is it such a bad thing
That I just want to lay down for an hour
Is it such a crime
That I don’t want to think about you know’cause everything was getting cold outside
I saw you standing there
Remembered what I was doing hereAnd I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go
And I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go go go go go goTell me what you’re wishing for
How about a little honesty now
What would you say to the world
If you only had one day’cause it was getting a little cold outside
I saw you standing there
Why don’t you come inside for a while’cause I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go
And I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go go go go go goOh is it such a bad thing
That I don’t want to change anything
You want me to take the weigh
Off your shoulders for an hour’cause it was getting a little cold outside
I saw you standing there
Why don’t you come inside for a whileAnd I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go
And I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go
And I know that you know
So damn hard, hard to let you go go go go go goHard to let you go go go go go go
So hard to let you go
So hard to let you go
So hard to let it go
So hard to let you goWriter(s): Joseph Baron Grass / Mikhail Stein / Patrick Watson / Robert Andrew Kuster

Just because I love you
Doesn’t mean I really do love you
And I mean love you
Went for an operation
Left in a town in the middle of nowhere
And I mean nowhere
NowhereI peaked
Higher than a rainbow
Such an ugly thing for a brother
Such an ugly thing for a brother to do
Now there’s so little, so little, so little time
I stabbed her with my heart but the bitch wouldn’t dieJust because I love you
Doesn’t mean I really do love you
And I mean love you
Went for an operation
Left in a town in the middle of nowhere
And I mean nowhere
NowhereBlack hole
Blacker than a tire
Wider than the mouth of a river
Such an ugly girl for a brother to do
Now there’s so little, so little, so little time
I stabbed her with my heart but the bitch bled me dry
I’m so lonely and broken ?
When the tides went away never came back inJust because I love you
Doesn’t mean I really do love you
And I mean love you
Went for an operation
Left in a town in the middle of nowhere
And I mean nowhere
NowhereJust because I love you
Doesn’t mean I love you
Just because I love you
Doesn’t mean I love you

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorryEastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I’m not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation’s dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn’t mine
I’m sorry, I’m sorryDid you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation’s dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn’t mine
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorryWriter(s): Michael Stipe / Peter Buck / William Berry / Mike Mills

Let’s not make it into a big thing
Let’s not get lost in this
I know it is, I know we could
I guess we surely would
Let’s pretend it’s not
It doesn’t mean a thingLet’s not blow it out of all senses
As though it meant so much
It’s always thought about for weeks
Not everytime your lips meet mine, I think of her
But when her hands reach out, I think of youWriter(s): Alasdair Macaulay / David Boulter / Dickon James Hinchliffe / Mark Anthony Stephen Colwill / Neil Timothy Fraser / Stuart Ashton Staples

Here, if it’s any conselation, take mine
No, no need for explanations, it’s alright
With me it would only be redundant, see
If you only try to keep it all inside
I lay me down with your decision
Blow your mind, don’t hesitate
This devil takes your pain away
Take mineBut now that I have finally found you
I’m gonna take it one step at a time
Let’s try to keep this good thing going
You tell a joke, I nearly die
We have to laugh until we cry
Take mine, please take mineMy margarita chum, that’s what you are
I’m laughing my ass off when you sing
Everybody’s happy now
The Luna-queens become the lunatics
While Janis Joplin tells her friend
He’s just a one-night standI hear you retching in my bathroom, but I don’t mind
No, I’ll clean it up tomorrow, just sit down
Again you choke me when you grumble
You and me we’re so much like RG
And now I’ll show you how to tango
I think it’s time for us to say
That this has been a perfect day and retire, please retireMy margarita chum that what you are
I’m laughing my ass off when you sing
Everybody’s happy now
A v.i.p. is what you are to me
I love it when you take me on your lonely Sunday strollWriter(s): Anouk Teeuwe / Bart Van Veen

A grew soul, purple and blue
But I think I’ve found something in you
You hold my hand so close between yours
All of this time I always thought it would be your handHolding mine
Oh, holding mine
Oh, holding mine
Oh, holding mine
Holding mine
Always thought it would be your hand
Holding mineFor these days I just count the hours
Oh, shape shifting boy in all of those scours
You hold my hand so close between yours
All of this time I always thought it would be your handHolding mine
Oh, holding mine
Oh, holding mine
Oh, holding mine

Always thought it would be your hand

Love me black and blue,
You got no care as mocking birds
Stares me stares at you
I don’t know how to stay afloat
Now you want to play
Why I never heard the world
I can be your moonlight
I’m not in my dressShe does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
Sit down and cryLove me black and blue,
You got no care as mocking birds
I can be your moonlight
I’m not in my dressShe does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
She touches the sky
And wishes to play
She does nothing all day
But sit down and cry
Sit down and cryWriter(s): Amedeo Pace / Kazu Makino / Simone Pace
