1. _ Still
I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I am the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I am your immaturity and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praised
I am doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping an expectation
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still
And I love you still
I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
and I love you still
and I love you still
Haya...haya...haya...haya...
Background voices :
I see you adverting your glances I see you cheering on war
I see you ignoring your children And I love you still
And I love you still, I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still and I love you still
I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your prophets and your profits
I am your art I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still
And I love you still
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
And I love you still
Haya...haya...haya...haya...
Background voices :
I see you holding your grudges I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters And I love you still
And I love you still, I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out I see you blaming each other

2. _ Big Bad Love
I'm having dreams in the night of you baby
And sigmund freud would have thought i was crazy
I wonder why you've become an obsession
All i know is that i need to have your big bad love
Big bad love (3x)
You keep on lovin' and lyin'
You've turning me into a fool babe
But i'm not screamin' or cryin'
There's better things we have to do baby
It takes a lot for me to truly believe
That you could love me unconditionally
And i'm terrified of taking a chance
If you're not ready to believe in romance
Who...i wonder why i am so unrelentless
There's nothing that i can do to prevent this
And the dream i am not apprehensive
All i know is that i need to have your...
Chorus:
Big bad love
I need a love with an attitude
Big bad love
The only kind that i want from you
Big bad love
I need it from you so urgently
Big bad love...need it baby yeah yeah yeah
I'm not avoidin' your lovin'
'cause i can afford to be blue babe
I keep on pushin' and shovin'
I can't get enough out of you baby
I don't believe your blood is bad to the bone
'cause then you're different when we're here all alone
And if you knew the game i wanted to play
Now would you say the words i want you to say ...who
I'm am so relentless...i can't prevent this... i am not apprehensive
All i know is that i need to have your big bad love

3. _ Rain
It was the night rod stewart played
And we were, were standing in the pouring rain
If i had known it was the last time i would see you again...
I would change everything...
I look through the broken glass i watch the storm go through my mind
There's so much i had to say i know the words i left behind
And now i'm caught in a daydream with nowhere to run and hide
The world rushes by me, it's leaving me here all alone
(i would change everything, but i can't do anything
I would give all that i have to know where you are)
Chorus:
I'll always carry you inside my heart and you
You'll never know how much i wonder where you are
I always knew that you would take a part of me away with you
And i never got to say good-bye
I look in the mirror now and all i see is yesterday
At night i hear your voice and it is calling out my name
And with every hour just hold on to what you can
They're lost in a moment and fading away in the night
(i would change everything, but i can't do anything
I would give all that i have just to know where you are)
Repeat chorus
...and i never..ever...said good-bye...
That night is just a memory
But i still feel you standing next to me
And when i think i hear your voice all i hear is the rain...

4. _ Plastic
You got a plastic name and a plastic heart
You can play the game or you'll never start
I'm talkin' to you
You got a plastic house and a plastic fence
Gotta look around or you'll lose your friends
Am i gettin' through?
You got a plastic girl in a plastic bed
And she's in your house made of gingerbread
And you're in there too
Got a plastic smile on a plastic face
But it's underneath that you can't erase
But what can you do-do-do?
Chorus:
Say love-it's not that hard after all
(tell me what i want, what i wanna hear)
When everybody does
Say love-it's gonna tear down the walls
(tell me what i want, what i wanna hear)
If everybody loves
You live in a plastic dream through a plastic card
But reality you don't disregard
You know that it's true
You got a plastic goal in a plastic life
Gotta search your soul gotta make it right
And here's what you do-do-do
Repeat chorus
Wake up in the mornin'
Some are not sleepin' tight
A matter you've been ignorin'
Why can't you just say it?
Will not wait forever
Can't you see i'm right
I want you to endeavor
To tell me again and again!
Repeat chorus (x3)

Make sure she's alright

Suspicious - so baby can't you see that girl
Don't trust you much make sure she's alright

Always too hot never too cold
You make your best shot too hot to hold
Never too young
Never too old
You gotta go for gold
Hey boy you wanted all or nothin'
Lose the apprehension baby

Stand up if you want the answers

You just go ahead and do it
Your time is for the takin', makin'

And show them what they're missin' listen
To what your heart could tell ya

Movin' provin' everything you're doin'

8. _ Happiness is a Warm gun
She's not a girl who misses much
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors
On his hob-nailed boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands
Working over time
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation's Trust
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Down to the *itch that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know that nobody can do me no harm
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
Happiness is a warm gun

9. _ Feel Your Love
Baby, i've got this thing for you
I'm thinkin' there's somethin' goin' on now
A wicked imagination
A serious kind of somethin' new
It's drivin' me right out of my mind now
It's gotta be desperation
Can't feel no pain when i'm thinking about you
Dreamin' isn't black and white
Can't make no gain 'til my vision c-comes true
Give it to me like i'd like to give it to you
Chorus:
Love i wanna feel your love
Right from the bottom of my heart to your hands
(now baby now) love i wanna feel your love
You know this waitin' for you boy i can't stand
Bein' just who you wanna be and doin' whatever
Comes to mind boy
I gotta get information
Never knew what to do with you
You're givin' me somethin' to hold on to
My newest infatuation
"people power" means i gotta believe you
Can't you hear the voices callin'
Keep your flowers cause their colour will turn blue
Give it to me like i'd like to give it to you
Chorus:
Love i wanna feel your love
Right from the bottom of your heart to your hands
(now baby now) love i wanna feel your love
You know this waitin' for you boy i can't stand

10. _ This Grudge
14 years
30 minutes
15 seconds
I've held this grudge
11 songs
4 full journals
thoughts of punishment I've expended
not in contact, not a letter
such communication, telepathic
you've been vilified
used as fodder
you deserve a piece of every record
but who's it hurting now?
who's the one that's stuck?
who's it torturing now
with an antique knot in her stomach?
I wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that's grown old
all this time I've not known
how to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
cleared slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us
like an abandoned house
dusty cupboard, furniture still intact
if i vist it now will i simple relive it?
somehow gratuitous?
but who's still aching now?
who's tired of her own voice?
who's it weighing down with no gift
from time of said healing?
I wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that's grown old
all this time I've not known
how to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
cleared slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us
maybe as i cut the cord
veils will lift from my eyes
maybe as i lay this to rest
dead weight off my shoulders will rise
here i sit much determined
ever ill-equipped to draw this curtain
how this has enterained, validated
and has served me well
ever the victim
but who's done whining now?
who's ready to put down
this load i've carried longer than i had cared to remember?
I wanna be big and let go
of this grudge that's grown old
for the life of me I've not known
how to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
cleared slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us.

11. _ Give What You Got
You've got to give it all to baby
You know i want it all for me
I wanna get to know you baby
Is that a possibility
Hey, you're my man, i'm your woman
And i'm not too proud to tell you what you do to my head
I'm not kiddin'
You've got everythin' that any girl would want, yes you do
You're just wishin'
Well it's time you know the truth and that is
When you are beggin' me for money
Just got to tell me what you need
But if you want my lovin' buddy
You've got to get down on your knees
Chorus:
You've got to give what you got and take what i'm givin' you baby
You've got to want what you see and see what i'm givin' away
Hey, stick with me, i'm your momma
And you can run to momma everytime you skin your knee
No one ever
Could ever take your place, the way you move makes me hot
Let me tell you
You won't be satisfied without me
You've got to give it all to baby
You know i want it all for me
I wanna get to know you baby
Is that a possibility

The drums are a-smokin' and so's the bass
Shake your thing

Shake the earth so repeat after me
No need to be rehearsed

Cause you'll be goin' insane when you start
To sing
Without special training an amateur
Could be a casualty case if they sing
These words

The drums are a smokin' and so's the
Bass they keep on pumpin' a groove and it'll melt your face
Come on' everybody and blow your mind
Because you'll never escape these 2
Words of mine

13. _ London
Boganvilia fall into the pool
The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm
My right index fingernail chewed to the quick
My cervix is a long scalene
My sprinklers go off at 6pm each day
And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors
My pimples are gooses all over my legs
My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
The birds make guttural sounds and protect me
My friends come to visit and love me a lot
I don't have the energy to fill this
i am lagged from the jet and the 12 hour flight
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
I am intriguied by the boys with the androdonus songs
Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not
The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower
The hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still
To be loved and swallowed are single and depraved
I love speaking french to the taxi drivers
We slept and were cold on the train out of france
And how I do love London
And how I do love London

14. _ Superman
I'm lookin' for someone who can made me feel
A serious love like juliet's is real
A little impulsive and a boy at heart
A little bit shy but he'll be oh so smart
Superman i need a superman
You got a complicated girl like me
He's gotta be fair and treat me properly yeah
I want him to understand equality
You gotta keep searchin' everywhere in the world
You gotta keep lookin' or you'll miss the feelin'
Chorus:
You gotta be tough to make it today
You do it your way and not how they say
You'll find him somewhere
You gotta be tough to make it today
And never be scared of finding your way
To superman
Should i call him on the telephone
Should i go see him or just stay at home
Will be different from the other boys
If i could find him i'd be overjoyed
Superman where are the supermen
Whenever it seems like everything's on the line
You gotta keep lookin' or you'll miss the feelin'
Repeat chorus
With all the other boys i never knew
What it took to make a choice
When he's mine i'm gonna stop
All my changin' around now
Between the two of us there'll be
Enough goin' on that's serious
I can't wait 'til i can stop
All my lookin' around now
I found my superman i found my superman
Whenever it seems like everything's
On the line you gotta keep lookin' or
You'll miss the feelin'

15. _ Spoon
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came
Up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung
Out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
Alanis :
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play
Laughing out loud
Come now and play

16. _ Pollyanna flower
(through you I see us)
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gun powder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between the murder and the normalacy
Between aggression and oblivion
Between the brutal and realistically well behaved
Between the screaming and the pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambling
What am i to do with all this fire?
(I'd like to hate you but I could never hate you)
Why are you still with me in this red space?
(I'd like to slap you but I could never slap you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever down playing
Between the bruises and the nobly differing
Between bursting and boiling
What am I to do with all this burning?
(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place?
(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
What am i to do with all this fire?
Can you understand me in this place?

And your shoes are hurting your back
But boy don't you look gorgeaus
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
This is but an observation
You put a bullet in your foot
You make it hard for us bitches inconsequential in your back bends
And your taste in men leaves something to de desired
You love them to be aloof and self obsessed
They love you in your mini dress
You are looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous
How you look gorgeous
When your voice is raised above a certain level
I'm afraid you must go to the ladies room
I left your competence in curlers
You look gorgeous
You look gorgeous
You're looking gorgeous

It's in my blood and all through my veins
You feel it once and you're never the same
Whenever i close my eyes you're there. i feel it inside
But why am i holding in my love, i can't tell you why

I think of you far too much 'cause you, you're one of a kind
I'm not like an open book 'cause i've got something in mind

Torn apart and now i wish that we could make a start
You know i gave you all my love - ow!

Goin' up and down like a merry-go-round

And now i'm gonna give a bit of solitude

It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
And it wears him out
And it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But i can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If i just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
And it wears me out
If i could be who you wanted
If i could be who you wanted all the time

25. _ On My Own
Why do i feel it's all up to me to see that
Everything's right and it's how it should be
Why don't they just leave me alone
I've got to prove i can
Little girl with stars in her eyes they've
Got her all figured out and there's nowhere
To hide why can't they all see who i am
When will they understand
It may take some time they don't know how
It feels because they can't read my mind
They always say i'm too young and they
Feel they should help me
But i can make it all alone out here on my own
Every day i feel so in demand and all i
Wish i could find is a place i can land
One day i'll feel comfort inside cause i'll
Know who i am
I can hold the line if i know in the end
That i won't be left behind i don't regret
What i've done i don't think you can blame me
Now i'm standin' all alone out here on my own
I'm not thinking 'bout leavin' home
But i need to be on my own
Doesn't mean i have a heart of stone
I won't even ask them why
I can't ever let them see me cry
Here i'm standing all alone out here on my own...
Out here on my own
Feeling lost in a world full of lies
I can't help thinkin' that love is just
Passin' me by hold on to what i believe
And keep an open hand
Can i have it all if there's no one to
Turn to when i stumble and fall
Is there a secret i need because no one
Has told me - all alone
It may take some time cause i know
How it feels to have a lot on your mind
I'll never feel all alone cause i
Know that i have me
Now i can make it all alone out here on my own

26. _ One Bad Apple
The osmond brothers
(trivia! this is the song that alanis sang on star search..and lost)
I can tell you've been hurt
By that look on your face, girl
Some boy brought sad into your happy world
You need love, but you're afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to ya again
Chorus:
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch,girl Give it one more try before you give up on love One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, boy
I don't care what they say
I don't care what you heard
I could make you happy, baby,
Satisfy you too
But how can i if you won't give me a chance
To prove my love to you?
Won't you give me just one chance?
I'll give you my guarantee that you won't be hurt again
Repeat chorus
I've been noticing you, baby
For a long, long time
And i'm not ashamed to tell the world
That you really messed up my mind
Boy, to me you're like a dream come true
I'd rather hurt myself than to ever hurt you

May again wash over me

Beyond the dying religions that
Seduced us
My soul will surrender

29. _ Norwegian Wood
I once had a girl, or should i say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, is not it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So i looked around and i noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, 'it's time for bed'.
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her i didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when i awoke i was alone, this bird had flown.
So i lit a fire, is not it good, norwegian wood.

30. _ Death of Cinderella
I'm wise and ambitious,
And angry and free,
And smart and available,
And sexy...
I'm soft and appealing,
And wearing pajamas,
And twisted and willing,
And crazy...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor.
And thought-provoking,
And opinionated
Cultured and funny,
And experienced...
Fearless and tender,
And sweetly innocent,
Uninhibited,
Likes a good debate.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to tie her to the bed.
I could fall in love a million times before I die,
You could draw me a bubble bath,
We could walk into the sunset...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her
And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella
I'm gonna grow to be a maid and I'll never find a fella
Who can use me
And that's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.

31. _ Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man,
A cracked polystyreneman
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears...
She looks like the real thing.
She tastes like the real thing,
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time.

32. _ Movement Vi: Innocence
By moon we gather
For the ascension
Great sky shelter us
With your endless compassion
Last survivor
It is you who must pass
Into the light of the new world
Under a sky of innocence
We are now all dying
In a slow black rain
Was it a failure
Of man and angels?
Was it a failure of love?
From this human river
Too cruel for winter
Welcome to the gates
A rehearsal for the silence
Pray we do not enter
Under a sky of innocence
We bathe in the seduction
Beautiful
The light is unraveling now
We open our arms to it
It is close to ground zero
I am no one
Yet i am everyone
We are nothing, but we are all
When i am still, i am inspired
We are not yet born
Half sadness
But half choice
When i am still i can hear
You speak most clearly
Father can you help me
For the ocean is big
And my boat is small
Find the courage

33. _ Fate Stay With Me
What did you think i'd be doing now
While you left me, i was thinking aloud
Would there be no end to my sorrow
Will i make it through tomorrow
Chorus:
Let the autumn leaves fall
The chilly raindrops freeze
The white snow melts
I'll just sail on those seas
Fate, fate, fate stay with me
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be free
Fate, fate, fate stay with me
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be free
That wouldn't be any fun
I'd rather be lying on the sun
Together alone with you
Beneath the sky of blue
Repeat chorus
Tell me! tell me!
Will my light be blown out crying
Baby! baby!
I feel as though i'm dying
Fate, fate, fate

34. _ Pray For Peace
I pray for peace.
They require me to kick into high gear.
We may as well have our Ph.D.'s.
Might we compose
Was never taken into account.
I pray they let out or talk it out.
She would give me a wink across the room.
I would've made a really good lawyer.
I had a really good strategy
For putting things back on the wall of the world.
Thank God it was the goddamned wall.
I would have to hide all my valuables.
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I were the official peacemakers.
It was a full-time job.
I would send my mother directly to bed, yeah
Don't collect 200.
We'd talk about it till 5 A.M.
When I'd come visiting her 5 years later.
We would pray for peace.
It was most comfortable and familiar.

In the garden of beauty

Yet i am everybody
We're nothing
And yet we are
Wisdom lights up life's road

I'm suprised we're all not raving drunks and
After a year like this one
I want you to choose the restaurant
After a year like this one
I'll need a good whole 16 months alone and
After a year like this one
I think I'll make the west coast beaches my new home

37. _ The Time Of Your Life
Standing there on a road that leads to anywhere
Like a child left in the wilderness, standing there penniless
Wanting to be the best
Here's a place where life runs at a different pace
Where love is just convenient, none are obedient
And we are subservient
Look at me, i'm a girl that some may preconceive
Why do they try and generalize, why are they antagonizing me
But something i can't control that...
Chorus:
I wantcha
You know i'll never stop 'til i've gotcha
You'll never be quite the same when i rock ya
I'm not the kind of girl that you thought i was
You'll have a good time 'cause i wantcha
I'm breaking down the walls 'till i have you, feel you
Show you the time of your life
Here we are and i wonder how we've come this far
In a world that does not recognize women are victimized
What does that symbolize
Why do i want the things i usually criticize
It may be self destructiveness, or maybe it's emptiness inside
But something i can't control that...
Repeat chorus
You'll have a good time...
It's a lonely road, and no one knows the way that i feel
I'm not giving up now... i'll never try to justify
They'll never understand, you'll be a happy man
You'll have the time of your life
It's something, it's something, it's something that i can't control
The time of your life...

38. _ No Apologies
Whenever we talk about sun all i see is the rain
It's like looking for tears in a ocean
I'm hearing your words like the wind
They blow straight through my heart
Will you ever give into emotion
And we hurt the ones that we love the most
Why we do only heaven knows
And i don't know why i'm still holding on...holding on
Chorus:
I reach in my heart to see
If your love is alive in me
But now i feel alone
My feelings turn to stone
My heart makes no apologies
When an apology's made it isn't always enough
To erase all the past in a moment
Whenever i need you the most
You always leave me behind
With a word from your lips i'm alone
You've been blind not to realize
All the love that i hold inside
So tell me why do i keep holding on...holding on
Repeat chorus (x2)
(and we hurt the ones that we love the most
Why we do only heaven knows
And i don't know why i'm still holding on...holding on)
What i need is your sympathy
Like a light flowing into me
Will i ever give up holding on... holding on...
Repeat chorus

39. _ An Emotion Away
I had high expectations
It's something i could not compromise
And when i saw you i wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise
Who...and when i think of the time i met you
The situation looked harmless
It wasn't long before i got confused enough
And soon i realized that your...
Chorus::
Love is just an emotion away
I know it's gonna get to you
Love will be only a moment away
A moment away you know it's true
Lately the way i'm feeling
It's something i could never have planned
I knew that one day i'd find a love thing
Now i'll never stop believing in chance
I put my heart on a shelf forever
I never thought i would find you
I didn't know any better baby
But then i realized that your...
Repeat chorus
Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you're gonna get some (ad-lib)

40. _ There are worse things I could do
There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through, that's a thing I'd never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite and jealously
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do

41. _ (change Is) Never A Waste Of Time
I know there's a reason you're forcing a smile
You hide what you're feeling and you have for a while
I can tell that you're falling
And you feel that you can't go on
But a new day is calling
And you'll see that the feeling is gone
Chorus:
You know you're not the only one
Who has a lot to overcome
And when the time has come then you move on
'cause you've been crying for too long
Sometimes life is so unkind
But change is never a waste of time
I know how you're feeling, i've been there before
The hurting is something much to strong to ignore
Don't be waiting for someone
Who can take all your fear away
When there's no one to listen
That is when you should not be afraid
Repeat chorus
But change is never a waste... it's never a waste of time

42. _ King of intimidation
Spoken : The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men
of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
For you they live in a quiet monastery
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation
Mocker of good Christian behavior
For you we wax, we scale, and chicken our legs
For you we chew our nails if we had any left buy fake ones to do it
We counted to 10 temporarily
And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation
Mocker of good Christian behavior
The roles of compromising for the family, you don't want some
There's only so much we can do to make your dress short
I am single
I am weary
You're just jealous
You're just confused
You're just hungry
You're in sin now
You're not happy
You are petty
All hail the king of intimidation
Mocker of good Christian behavior
He knows not of what he has wrongly done
Forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You are busted
We were silent
You were tested
You knew better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
La,la,la

43. _ Find The Right Man
You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
He feels the same way, I think you know it
You can't be afraid to show it
When will this hidden emotion
Give you the notion
To make the first move, make the first move
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
Darling you just can't let him go
Deep down in your heart you can't feel it all
I'll be calling all there is
For his love, for his love
You know you can take his heart away
Just look straight in his eyes
And then you say
Hey can't you just see
We'll be great you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love (repeat 2X until end)

44. _ Still (unofficial Lyrics)
I am the harm that you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I am your immaturity and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praises
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And i love you still
And i love you still
I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
And i love you still
And i love you still
I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art i am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And i love you still
And i love you still
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And i love you still
And i love you still
