Madeleine - Lyrics - Glenn Hughes

Title: Madeleine
Artist: Glenn Hughes
Composer(s): Glenn Hughes, Joakim Marsh, Marc Bonilla, Sampo Axelsson

Lyric:
Born in the city, you are Mother Nature's friend
You come one step closer to yourself
Over by the looking glass you worship no one else
I go one step back inside my shell

Sitting in your country house, you work them to the bone
So they tell me who's been there
There's no doubt about it, you've been heaven tailor made
And they talk about you everywhere

You made your choice
You have the world in the palm of your hands
I'll never know
And I will never understand

(Madeleine)
I can't wait anymore
(Madeleine)
I can't take anymore

You live the life of luxury, you have to pay no rent
You come one step further, what is your role?
You're headin' for that deadline, baby, now tell me what you find?
I go one step deeper inside the cold

You live your life in misery, how can you be so cruel
You go one step nearer to the wall
I know this is a tragedy, now tell me who's your fool?
You come one step closer to the fall

You made your choice
You have the world in the palm of your hands
I'll never know
And I will never understand

(Madeleine)
I can't wait anymore
(Madeleine)
I can't take anymore

You made your choice
You have the world in the palm of your hands
I'll never know
And I will never understand

(Madeleine)
I can't wait anymore
(Madeleine)
I can't take anymore

(Madeleine)
I can't wait anymore
(Madeleine)
I can't take anymore

I can't wait anymore
I can't take anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't take anymore

I can't wait anymore
I can't take anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't take anymore

Don'T Wait Too Long - Lyrics - Careless Love - Madeleine Peyroux

Title: Don'T Wait Too Long
Album: Careless Love
Artist: Madeleine Peyroux
Composer(s): Larry Klein, Madeleine Peyroux, Jesse Harris

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
You can cry a million tears
You can wait a million years
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

When your morning turns to night
Who'll be loving you by candlelight
If you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

Maybe I've got a lot to learn
Time can slip away
Sometimes you got to lose it all
Before you find your way

Take a chance and play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

It may rain, it may shine
Love will age like fine red wine
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

Baby, you and I got a lot to learn
Don't waist another day
Maybe you got to lose it all
Before you find your way

Take a chance, play your part
Make romance, it might break your heart
But if you think that time will change your ways
Don't wait too long

Don't wait
Don't wait

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
From bad luck, I'm walkin' away
I'm not gettin' stuck, I'm not gonna stay
To good things, I'm movin' ahead
I'm tired of dyin' an' I'm livin' instead

Once in a while I'll wake up
Wonderin' why we gave up?
But once in a while
Comes and it fades away

The sun's up and lightin' the sky
I never could see it, it just passed me by
Good things keep movin' along
I'm not lookin' backward for something that's gone

Once in a while I'll wake up
Wonderin' why we gave up?
But once in a while
Comes and fades away

I don't know what love is? I'm selfish and lazy
And when I get scared, I can act like I'm crazy
When I think of your kisses, I'm still gonna smile
I'm still gonna miss you once in a while

Once in a while I'll wake up
Wonderin' why we gave up?
But once in a while
Comes and it fades away

Good things keep movin' ahead
I'm tired of dyin', I'm livin' instead

A Little Bit - Lyrics - Half the Perfect World - Madeleine Peyroux

Title: A Little Bit
Album: Half the Perfect World

Composer(s): Larry Klein, Madeline Peyroux, Jesse Harris, Madeleine E Peyroux

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
You got a lot of tenderness
And so much love, you can get no rest
If you?re willing
To waste a little time

I don?t want all of it
All I need is a little bit

You got a lot of money saved
No use takin' it all to your grave
Ain?t worth nothin'
If you ain?t feelin? fine

I don?t want all of it
All I need is a little bit

You know daddy gave you everything
On a silver platter
But the one thing he never gave you
Was the one thing that really matters

So if you feel unsatisfied
Somethin' missin' deep down inside
You had so many lovers
But you never really tried

I don?t want all of it
All I need is a little bit

I'm tellin' you now it's gettin' dark
It?s gettin' late
Now that we all need someone
To sit down and set us free

You got gold to give and time to pray
You think livin' right is livin' your way
But there?s heaven down here, baby
We can find it if we try

I don?t want all of it
All I need is a little bit
I don?t want all of it
All I need is a little bit

We're getting some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Wending our way along

But when we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting
We're getting some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Wending our way along

But when we want to sing, we sing
When we wanna dance, we dance
You can do your betting
We're getting some fun out of life

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
Though it ain't no fail of mine, it's about a gal
Named Sue and a boy named Lou

They were fightin' all the time
Sue came home one afternoon
And found an empty dining room

Without a word a turtledove had flown
Sue began to moan, ?My sweetie went away
But he didn't say where, he didn't say when
He didn't say why, without biddin' me goodbye
Oh I'm blue as I can be?

I know he loves another one but he didn't say who
He didn't say when, he didn't say what
His momma has got that took my sweetie from me

I'm like a little lost sheep and I can't sleep
But I keep tryin' to forget, my travelin' poppa
He left his momma all alone, I groan

My sweetie went away but he didn't say where
He didn't say when, he didn't say why
I know I'll die, why don't he hurry on home

Lyric:
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Lyric:
Dixie moonlight, Swanee shore
Headed homebound just once more
To my Mississippi delta home

Southland's got that grand garden spot
Although you believe or not
I hear those trees are whispering
"Come on back to me"

Muddy water 'round my feet
Muddy water in the street
No, God don't shelter
Down on the delta

Muddy water in my shoes
Reeling and rocking to them lowdown blues
They live in ease and comfort there
I do declare

Been away a year today
To wander and roam
I don't care, it's muddy there
But this is my home

Got my toes turned Dixie way
'Round the delta let me lay
My heart cries out for muddy water

Been away a year today
To wander and roam
I don't care, it's muddy there
But this is my home

Got my toes turned Dixie way
'Round the delta let me lay
My heart cries out for muddy water

Hélas avril en vain me voue à l'amour
J'avais envie de voir en vous cet amour

La vie ne vaut d'être vécue sans amour
Mais c'est vous qui l'avez voulu mon amour

If it's yes or no
It's me who'll speak it
'Cause the Lord, he knows
That this is heaven to me

If you've got your hands
And got your feet
To sing your song
All through the street
You raise your head
When night is done
Shout your thanks up to the sun

So when I hear them say
There's better livin'
Let them go their way
To that new livin'
I won't ever stray

Love must fill the air
With sweetness
Just as rare as the flower
That you gave me to wear

I'll look around
And when I've found someone
Who laughs like you

California rain is fallin'
I can hear the summer callin'
Far away, far away
A song that's fadin'

Put me on a plane tomorrow
I'll try to run from all my sorrow
Far away, far away
From endless waitin'

It's so cold here without the sun
I'm so sad here far away from everyone

What a fool to be ambitious
Moving here with all of my wishes
Far away, far away
From where my heart is

Shut the phone off and pack my bags
No more boys who boast and brag
Far away, far away
Where I belong

I'm so sorry for some things I've done
I'll be lonely till I can see my only one

California rain keeps fallin'
I can hear that old love callin'
Far away, far away
Where I started

I?m goin' back, back where I belong
Gonna catch a train
Gotta get back where I belong
Get back

And you've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire

Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness I've left
'Cause you've filled my heart with the weary old blues
Now I'm walkin' an' talkin' to myself

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now it's too late
You've made me throw my only friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins till judgement I'll atone

Lyric:
He made me laugh, he made me cry
He smoked his doggies in bed
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I've been lonely before

I asked the boy for a few kind words
He gave me a novel instead
But I'm all right, I'm all right
And I've been lonely before

It's fine, it's okay
It was wrong either way
I just wanted to say
There isn't much fun when you're drinking wine

He got drunk, he fell down
He threw a few of my things around
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I've been lonely before

I'd like to believe that it's easy to leave
But I have to conceive
That wherever you are
You're still driving my car

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But tears don't leave any scars
So I'm all alright, I'm all alright
I've been lonely before

I'm all alright, I'm all alright, I'm all alright
He played Solitaire in bed
Used to blow bubbles in bed
He sang Christmas songs in bed

Apology Song - Lyrics - 5 Songs - Decemberists

Title: Apology Song
Album: 5 Songs
Artist: Decemberists
Composer(s): Colin Meloy

Lyric:
I'm really sorry, Steven
But your bicycle's been stolen
I was watchin' it for you 'til you came back in the fall
I guess I didn't do such a good job after all

I was feelin' really sorry Steven
And I spent all morning grievin'
And everybody's saying that you'll take the news gracefully
Somehow I don't think I'll be gettin' off that easily

I meant her no harm
When I left her unlocked
Outside the Orange Street food farm
I was just runnin' in, didn't think I'd be that long

I came out, she was gone
And all that was there was some bored old dog
Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been
Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again

Let this be consolation, Steven
That all the while you were in England
I treated her with care and respect and gave her lots of love
And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up

And where has she gone?
Well, I bet she's on the bottom
Of a Frenchtown pond
Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride

So I wrote you this song
In the hopes that you'd forgive me even though it was wrong
Being so careless with a thing so great
And taking your poor Madeleine away, away [Incomprehensible]

Lyric:
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur, dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré, pour la vie

Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat

Des nuits d'amour à plus finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Des ennuis, des chagrins s'effacent
Heureux, heureux à en mourir

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur, dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi, moi pour toi dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré, pour la vie

Et bien quand je t'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
