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...

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

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...

Can you relate to what it says
The lyrics are straight from the heart
The soul is expressed in the lyrics
The virtues and vices are released

Chorus:
Keep The Radio On,
This song means so much to me
Keep the Radio On,
The words live right through me
The lyrics are comforting
Like I expressed them my self
Keep The Radio on, the song speaks for itself.

Why Can't You Relate
To my way of thinking
Why don't you understand
All the things I am feeling
I am not a stranger to opinions
In fact i have my own
I am no stranger to delusions
Although you live through mine

Repeat Chorus

Keep The Radio On
Keep The Radio On
The words have their meaning
Keep The Radio On
Can't you feel what they are saying
Keep The Radio On

Repeat Chorus

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

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

Repeat chorus (x2)

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

Repeat chorus

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'

Repeat chorus

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

We play the game with determination
We don't give a damn 'bout our reputation baby
It's not a game, it's a revelation
Step inside the real world
The real world...yeahyeahyeah... the real world...yeah...

It's been every day now, and it just won't go away now...no
Life is so intense now, not much common sense now yeah
And late in the night i turn out my light yeah
A song in my head, and it says "step inside the real world"

Chorus:
We play the game with determination
We don't give a damn 'bout our reputation baby
It's not a game, it's a revelation
Just another day in the real world...yeah, the real world

I can make decisions with no one else believin' me
I just look inside me 'cause i've got my own voice to guide me
It came in a dream, a light so extreme yeah
A voice in my head, and it says "step inside the real world"

Repeat chorus

Chorus:
Ya gotta step inside the real world step-in-side-the-real-world
I woke from the dream, i know what it means
A voice in my head, and it says "you're here inside the real world"

Repeat chorus (x2)

Testostarone in large amounts
Your Little sister just kick out of
God you can't shave your head
Come to the Show
the boys rock harder
Your mother lent you her slip
She lent you her bright red lipstick
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
How you look gorgeous

A downtown cafe saturday evenin' and the
Place is about to be closed i'm meeting my baby
Yeah and order my hundredth cup of coffee today
My hands are shakin'

At half past seven i'm sittin here waitin' for
My boy all alone for too long it's after eleven
Yeah i'm tired of waitin' and i'm gonna go home
Cause i don't need this

You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think i'm a fool

Chorus:
I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've got my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
If i don't get the love we had before
Not satisfied

He finally gets here i'm waitin' for him to ask me
Why there's a frown on my face he orders a
Cold beer he has an excuse about his car
Breakin' down but i don't buy it
You're givin' me somethin' i don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and i'll be slammin' the door

Repeat chorus

His best intentions are never the same as what
He does of the end of the day i'm feelin' the
Tension yeah don't gimme no reasons cause you
Don't comprehend what am i feelin'

You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think i'm a fool
You're givin' me somethin' i don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and i'll be slammin' the door

Repeat chorus (x2)

So tell me now
Just say the word
It won't be long
I'll be long long gone...

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 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

Before my body dies
I pray
That the river i was born to
May again wash over me

By god's touch i pray
That i may move from this consecrated
Earth
Into the next season

A dark season
Beyond the dying religions that
Seduced us

My soul will surrender
And give in to grace

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

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

Repeat chorus

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

Repeat chorus into fade

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.

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...

(repeat)

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.

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

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

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)
