KT Tunstall's Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
two, three, four
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
well my heart knows me better than i know myself
so i'm gonna let it do all the talking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
i came across a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
i fell in fear, upon my back
i said don't look back, just keep on walking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
when the big black horse that looked this way,
said hey lady, will you marry me?
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but i said no, no, no,no-no-no
i said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
i said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
and my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
so it stopped it dead for a beat or two.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but i cut some cord, and i shouldn't have done that,
and it won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
so i sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy
and now i've got a hole for the world to see
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but it said no, no, no,no-no-no
i said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo) (not the one for me, yeah)
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me
said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me
big black horse and a cherry tree
i can't quite get there cause they've all forsaken me
big black horse and a cherry tree

Three Little Birds
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright."
Rise up this morning,
Smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you-u-u."
Singin'...
(Repeat)
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be al-right."

I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company
So now you're going off to live your life
You say we'll meet each other now and then
But we'll never be the same
And I know I'll never have this chance again
No, not like you
So, I'll see you in another life now baby,
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years

No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
So, no woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah

Doctor Wu
becker/fagen
Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow
You walked in
And my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last piaster
I could borrow
All night long
We would sing that stupid song
And every word we sang
I knew was true
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me Doctor
Don't seem right
I've been strung out here all night
I've been waiting for the taste
You said you'd bring to me
Biscayne Bay
Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day
I went searching for the song
You used to sing to me
Katy lies
You could see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise
When I saw you
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
She is lovely yes she's sly
And you're an ordinary guy
Has she finally got to you
Can you hear me Doctor

Wings
by Josh Ritter
At night we crossed the border
following a Black robe
to the edge of the reservationton
Cataldo Mission
where the saints and all the martyrs
look down on dying converts
what makes the water holy she says is that that it’s the closest thing to rain
I stole a mule from Anthony
I helped Anne up upon it
and we rode to Coeur d’Alene
through Harrison and Wallace
they were blasting out the tunnels
making way for the light of learning
when Jesus comes a’calling she said he’s coming round the mountain on a train
CHORUS
it’s my home—last night I dreamt that I grew wings
I found a place where they could hear me when I sing
we floated on to Hanford
on a lumber boat up river
past the fisheries and the milltowns like a stretch of future graveyards
she was driven to distraction
said I wonder what will happen
when they find out they’re mistaken
the land is too changed to ever change
we waded through the marketplace
someone’s ship had come in
there was silver and begonias
dynamite and cattle
there were hearts as big as apples
and apples in the shape of Mary’s heart
I said inside this gilded cage a songbird always looks so plain
CHORUS
it’s my home—last night I dreamt that I grew wings
I found a place where they could hear me when I sing.
(musical interlude)
and so they came with cameras
breaking through the morning mist
press and businessmen—tycoons—Episcopal philanthropists
lost in their appraisal of the body of a woman
but all we saw were lowlands
clouds clung to mountains without strings
and at last we saw some people... (x2)
and at last we saw some people
huddled up against
the rain that was descending like railroad spikes and hammers
they were headed for the border
walking and then running
and then they were gone into the fog but Anne said
underneath their jackets she saw wings

Kathleen
by Josh Ritter
all the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Lights
they try to shine in through your curtains—you’re too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
this party is made with the night air and the chance that a smile
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
you act like you’re hip to their tricks and you’re strong
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
and I’ll have you back by break of day
I’m going your way anyway
and if you’d like to come along
I’ll be yours for a song
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
but I’m here and I’m ready and I’ve saved you the passenger seat
I won’t be your last dance just your last goodnight
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
and I’ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
and the next time I see you—a new kind of hello
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
‘bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen

Living It Up
rickie lee jones
Eddie's got one crazy eye
that turns him into a cartoon
when a pretty girl comes by
and there's nothin' here to do anymore
he sits on the stoop all day
like there's something he's waiting for
Stump-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
he's got all those guys with him
from that town where they all
look like Frankie Valli
they speak fluently blonde
from her legs to her cigarette
and Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
but he ain't come back yet
well, you know
It's more trouble than it's worth
it's more trouble than it's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are ---
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Tell him where you are
Zero quit school
and she lost her job again
and then her boyfriend beat her up
and now he won't let her in
so she's walking by this joint
in a black and blue dress
she looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says "don't tell me, lemme guess."
It's more trouble than it's worth
He's more trouble than he's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are ---
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell her where you are
Well at first when it was this way
when they're the only ones
and you've got all these ideas
you never tell to anyone
there are always magnets
pulling each of you there
living every story you'd dare
to be the only ones
the only ones...
Oh, who are living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh, we'll be living it up
oh yeah, we'll be living it up
You and me, living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
gonna be living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
oh yeah, we're living it up
Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages
they didn't care
in the terminal where dreams
let so many tickets through
when strangers look in faces
and see somebody there they knew
you might meet me tomorrow
as all the lights are blooming green
and you're feeling a little lonely,
a little sad, a little mean
remember a place
inside of that hotel
where you could do anything you want to do
you couldn't tell
If it's more trouble than it's worth
ah, this is more trouble than it's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
tell me where you are ---
Oh Wild and the Only ones
I'm waiting you could
tell me where you are ---
Oh Wild and the Only ones
why don't you tell him where you are?

Humpty Dumpty
Aimee Mann
Verse 1:
Say you were ... or split in fragments
And none of the pieces will talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who had them
Well, maybe I want that too
Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying ... ... future's back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
Verse 2:
Baby I ... more than patient
saying it's not a catastrophe
but I'm not the girl you put your faith in
just someone who looks like me
Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever
staying ... future's back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
Bridge:
So get out while you can
Get out while you can
baby I'm moored in quicksand
and ... is all that I had planned
so better just go
Chorus:
Oh better take the keys and drive forever
staying ... future's back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again

Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever
staying ... future's back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
Bridge:
So get out while you can
Get out while you can
baby I'm moored in quicksand
and ... is all that I had planned
so better just go
Chorus:
Oh better take the keys and drive forever
staying ... future's back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow

Breaking rocks all day on the avenue
its hard to unearth anything thats true
soon I'm gonna lose these rags and run
Returning to the wild where I'm from
There's miles of stone, jack hammer in my hand
There's compromises, I cant comprehend
soon I am gonna drop this jack and run
Returning to the wild where I'm from
Returning to the wild where I'm from
Between the bricks you'll hear the children play
Their callouses get harder day by day
Between the cracks you'll notice where I've gone
Returning to the wild, where I belong
Soon I am gonna lose these rags and run
Returning to the wild, where I'm from
Returning to the wild, where I'm from

INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin'
so I won't be alone
watch as she lies silent
but soon light will be gone
oh I will stand arms outstretched
pretend I'm free to roam
oh I will make my way through one more day
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I will hold the candle
'til it burns up my arm
oh I'll keep takin' punches
'til their will grows tired
oh I will stare the sun down
until my eyes go blind
hey, I won't change direction
and I won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out
'til it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I will light the match this mornin'
so I won't be alone
watch as she lies silent
but soon light will be gone
oh I will stand arms outstretched
pretend I'm free to roam
oh I will make my way through one more day
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
I will hold the candle

And I'll be seeing you, in all the old, familiar places,
that this heart of mine embraces, all day through,
And in that small cafe, the park along the way,
The children's carousel, The chestnut trees and the wishing well,
And I'll be seeing you, in every lovely summer's day,
In everything that's light and gay, I'll always think of you that way,
and I'll find you, in the morning sun, and when the night is young,
I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Tigers Have Spoken
Neko Case
They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way beside them,
Separate from the other tigers
He did not know another tiger
They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way forever
Just as long as he could remember
If he'd wanted to remember
It was the last time he had felt alive
When he saw that brown-haired lady
She fed him with a bottle as a baby
And he recalled her face and smile
They shot that tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain

Tom Petty-Wildflowers
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, drift off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, find you a lover
Go away, somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, drift off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, find you a lover
Go away, somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free
all that glitters is not gold and all who wander are not lost
