Текст песни:

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
That it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion?
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
And don′t believe in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
¨¤ la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I′m in no hurry I could wait forever
I′m in no rush cuz I like being solo
There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
I′ll live like there′s no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted? ...curious and
communicative…

Текст песни:

I am a man as a man I′ve been told
Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
Years I have groveled repentance ignored

And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended

I am man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged women
I am son who was raised by such men
I′m often reminded of the fools I′m among

And I have been shamed
And I have relented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
And I have been shamed
And I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended

We don′t fare well with endless reprimands
We don′t do well with a life served as a sentence
This won′t work well if you′re hell bent on your offence
I am a man who understands your resistance

I am a man who still does what he can
To dispel our archaic reputation
I am a man who has heard all he can
Cuz I don′t fare well with endless punishment

Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
And we have been blamed and we have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended

Текст песни:

After a year like this one
I′m surprised I do not hate your guts and
After a year like this one
I′m surprised I still love music just as much

After a year like this one
I′m surprised I do not eat my eye?
After a year like this one
I′m sorry if I′m not cordial to every one

CHORUS:
La La La La La La La La De Di De Di La La La La Li
La La La La La La La La De Di De Di La La Li Li Li
La La La La La La La La De Di De Di La Di Da Di Di
La La la de di wo oh oh o...

After a year like this one
I′m surprised I am convinced at all and
After a year like this one
I do not roll my eyes at less than another

After a year like this one
I can′t help but wonder how they′ve been and
After a year like this one
I think I′ll leave it all to my next of kin...

CHORUS

After a year like this one
I′m surprised we′re all not weeping drunks and
After a year like this one
I want you to choose the restaurant and then

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 thank the west coast beaches I came home.

CHORUS

Текст песни:

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don′t want to dissect everything today
I don′t mean to pick you apart you see
But I can′t help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn′t there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance

Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I′m relentless and all strung out
I′m consumed by the chill of solitary
I′m like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I′m frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature

What I wouldn′t give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn′t give to meet a kindred

Enough about me, let′s talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let′s talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around... all around

Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you′re gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

@ Alanis Morissette

Текст песни:

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 med 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...

CHORUS

Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you′re gonna get some (Ad - lib)

Текст песни:

Are you still mad I kicked you out of bed?
Are you still mad I gave you ultimatums?
Are you still mad I compared you to all
My forty year old male friends?
Are you still mad I shared our problems
With everybody?

Are you still mad I had an emotional affair?
Are you still mad I tried to mold you into
Who I wanted you to be?
Are you still mad I didn′t trust your intentions?
Of course you are
Of course you are

Are you still mad that I flirted wildly?
Are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you?
Are you still mad that I had one foot out the door?
Are you still mad that we slept together even after
We had ended it?
Of course you are
Of course you are

Are you still mad I wore the pants most of the time?
Are you still mad that I seemed to focus
Only on your potential?
Are you still mad that I threw in the towel?
Are you still mad that I gave up long before you did?
Of course you are
Of course you are

Текст песни:

I′ve seen them kneel with baited breath for the ritual
I′ve watched this experience raise them to pseudo higher levels
I′ve watched them leave their families in pursuit of your nirvana
I′ve seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and America

How long will this take baba
How long have we been sleeping
Do you see me hanging on to
Every word you say
How soon will I be holy
How much will this cost guru
How much longer ′til you
Completely absolve me

I′ve seen them give their drugs up in place of makeshift alters
I′ve heard them chanting kali kali frantically
I′ve heard them rotely repeats your teachings with elitism
I′ve seen them boasting robes and foreign sandalwood beads
I′ve seen them overlooking god in their own essence
I′ve seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation
I′ve seen their righteousness mixed without loving compassion
I′ve watched you smile as the students bow to kiss your feet

Give me strength all knowing one
How long ′til enlightenment
How much longer ′til you
Completely absolve me

@ Alanis Morissette

Текст песни:

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 (3k)
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
(Ad - lib)

Текст песни:

It′s late at night and no one′s around
And only my heart is making a sound
I lay awake alone in my bed
And I can′t sleep should I call you instead

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

CHORUS:
You know I can′t deny the way I feel inside
I won′t be hiding my love
You know I can′t disguise you′re always on my mind
And now I can′t get enough

Give me love, I know that you can
I like the strength of a confident man
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

CHORUS

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
You know I, you know I, I can′t deny
Every day you′re always on my mind
You know I, you know I, I can′t disguise
Can′t deny the way I feel inside

CHORUS
