Polaroids
S. Colvin Please no more therapy Mother take care of me Piece me together with a Needle and thread Wrap me in eiderdown Lace from your wedding gown Fold me and lay me down On your bed Or liken me to a shoe Blackened and spit-shined through Kicking back home to you Smiling back home Singing back home to you Laughing back home to you Dragging back home to you I was so wary then The ugly American Thinner than oxygen Tough as a whore I said you can lie to me I own what's inside of me And nothing surprises me anymore But forests in Germany Kids in the Tuileries Broken-down fortresses In old Italy And claiming his victory Shrouded in mystery He went running away with me Back in our home New York Walking these streets forlorn We all in our uniforms Black and black Doing that slouch and jive The artist must survive We've got all we need we cried And we don't look back Thinking we had it made Poised for the hit parade Knee deep in accolades The conceptual pair But ever the malcontent He left without incident Vanished into thin air Now I am always amazed Words can fill up a page Pages fill up the days Between him and me But the vows that we never keep From bedrooms to business-speak Make me remember how cheap Words can be And the letters I wrote you of Were those of the desperate stuff Like begging for love in a suicide threat But I am too young to die Too old for a lullaby Too tired for life on the ledge But I had a dream last night Of lovers who walked the plank Out on the edge of time Amidst ridicule They laughed as they rocked and reeled Over the mining fields Coming to rest on this ship of fools But he just took polaroids Of her smile in the light Of the dawn of the menacing sky And before they went overboard She turned and held up a card And it said Valentine |

When you know that you know
Who you love You can't deny it *Go back or give up or pretend that you don't buy it When it's clear this time you've found the one You never let him go Cause you know, and you know that you know When you feel, when your skin , In your bones and the hollow of your heart, There's no way you can wait til tommorrow When there isn't any doubt about it, Once you've come this close, Cause you know, and you know that you know You can feel love's around you Like the sky 'round the moon This is how love has found you Now you know what to do When you know that you know Who you need You can't deny it *repeat And it's time you come in from the cold And you know that you know |

Here we go again
Another round of blues Several miles ago I set down my angel shoes On a lost highway For a better view Now in my mind's eye All roads lead to you Chorus: So wherever you go You better take care of me This time If you're gonna go Remember me and all This time We had our bitter cheer And sweet sorrow We lost a lot today We get it back tomorrow I hear the sound of wheels I know the rainbow's end I see lights in a fat city I feel love again Chorus All this time I been makin' deals Shades if black and white On a Hollywood reel All this time I been missing Something so real All this time I been a face in the crowd Now I'm living in color And laughing out loud All these names For just foolin' around It's a new breakthrough It's an old break down We smoked a lot of hope We did our cryin' , too We're finally waking up To what real love can do Down a lost highway Under the twilight moon A chorus in your eyes Another round of blues Chorus We had all This time We had all This time |

C'mon pack your bags Clear the floor. Let's step out through the open door. Leave a note that says goodbye. Build a new house Down by the sea. Get to the place we were meant to be. You'll know it when you smile. Up at the window. Search in the sky. Looking for the rainbow, And don't ask my. I wanna see the rainbow come. Hey! We'll be leaving on all sides, ohohh! Whe the rainbow comes. Mr. Postman look and see If there's a message in your bag for me. Could be a bomb or it could bve a letter. It don't matter it can only get better. Mr. Postman look and see If there's a message in your bag for me. You know it's been such a long long time Since I could laugh at this world of mine. Slippin' slidin' around in your head. It's be-bop-a-lula then baby you're dead. So c'mon make a bright new day. I need a prayer here. Need a blessing. Case an eye back as you run. Turn around boy! See the rainbow come. Hey! You'll be leaving on all sides When the rainbow comes. See the world from all sides When the rainbow comes. |

Off ion the distance
A cool wind is blowing I'm not who I was And I'm not where I'm going I'm so tired of knowing That there's no way of knowing You left me stranded Between two worlds You turned me into a mixed up girl You left me stranded between two worlds Two worlds Is it nicer where you are? Do you ever think of me? Is it easier now That you don't have to love me? Like a fool I allowed you To coddle and drug me And the you left me stranded Between two worlds You turned me into a mixed up girl You left me stranded between two worlds Two worlds A weak shadow of death Across a bowl of bitter milk I borrowed symbols On my funeral silk Reflections of you In each fall's drooling rain And still you stay with me Like a knife in my brain You left me stranded Between two worlds You turned me into a mixed up girl You left me stranded between two worlds Two worlds Two worlds |

All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans
Reminding me of when we got along They're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on And still it is the same now I am older Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs And minding less and less if I am colder But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest And it spreads just like a fire inside my body Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby It was never clear what would come but that's the risk and that's the test And you were the only one so far to follow And no one talks about when one might stop and need to rest Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back It's like you're waiting for Godot And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and Go... And what the hell is this? Who made this bloody mess? And someone always answers like a martyr Is it something you should know, did you never do your best Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to New Orleans I float a mile above life's toil and trouble A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on A clown to entertain the happy couples |

Let me be your wailing companion Pass 'em on by don't look 'em in the eye Suicide Alley is callin' You thought you were dreaming You could wake up dead And you'll never know what's real All this damage is runnin' loose in your head And it really matters to me Oh no baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Downtown baby it's a million to one You might as well name your poison And stand in line by the exit sign Suicide Alley is waiting You're a loose cannonball on a sinking ship From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip But you don't have to be going down the dark hall You're not tied to the chair, you're not nailed to the wall Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Sitting naked by the window in the middle of the night I can see you wearing your halo If only in the daybreak of the dirty street light I know baby wasn't born to follow You know I wasn't born I was spat out at a wall And nobody even knew my name The sun hatched me out, cradle and all On the corner of First and Insane For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time You got a place in this world of mine Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley |

This is your new thing now
Naked as a rose Everything exposed But not quite This is your new thing now Cards out on the table A genius with no label But not quite, not quite God, I swear it's good to be back home Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone All the other girls are still at war The best and worst of 1994 Sometimes I see the half and not the whole Sometimes I see the face and not the soul Sometimes I think this place has no part For anyone who ever had a heart This is your new thing now And it looks so good in print Just a poet and her pimps But not quite This is your new thing now A prom dress and a sneer The woman of the year But not quite, not quite Gee, it's good to see a dream come true People smile and bless all over you Mixing up those latest junkie-isms With all the pretty terms of religion And don't you love the leader of the band Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan All the other kids are sad again A legend's not a legend 'til it ends This is your new thing now And it makes the whole world spin It's as least as old as sin But not quite This is your new thing now And now you're turning grinning But maybe no one's listening And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might This is your new thing now And it feels so good to doubt you I could almost live without you But not quite S.C. - acoustic guitar, vocal John Leventhal - keyboards, electric guitar, bass 1996 AGF Music Ltd./Scred Songs, admin. by WB Music Corp.

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies Break the silence Damn the dark Damn the light And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain |

from Providence by Joey Newman [ost] (2005)
There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends, I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life, I?ve loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one, compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I?ll never lose those affection For people and things that went before I know I?ll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more Though I know I?ll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I?ll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more In my life, I love you more |

China gets broken
And it will never be the same Boats on the ocean Find their way back again I am weaving like a drunkard Like a balloon up in the air I am needing a puncture and someone To point me somewhere I'm gonna keep my head on straight I just hope it's not too late Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on Steady on! I was feeling imploded A wooden smile, a wooden heart Then things exploded Like rockets in the dark Now I'm pulling out splinters And off to hibernate somewhere For the nuclear winter Of another love affair 'Cause he seemed like a miracle I ate it up like cereal But it was something like shrapnel Steady on! It's like ten miles of two-lane On a South Dakota wheat plain In the middle of a hard rain A slow boat or a fast train I'm gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight Steady on |

As a little girl I came down to the water
With a little stone in my hand It would shimmer and sing And we knew everything As a little girl I came down But in a little while I got steeped in authority Heaven only knows what went wrong There is nothing so cruel than to bury that jewel When it was mine all along I'm gonna find it You're shining I can see you You're smiling that's enough I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough Every now and then I can see that I'm getting somewhere Where I have to go is so deep I was angry back then and you know I still am I have lost too much sleep But I'm gonna find it You're shining I can see you You're smiling that's enough I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough In my dreams I go down by the water With a little girl in my arms And we shimmer and sing And we know everything In my dreams I go down You're shining I can see you You're smiling that's enough I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough |

Was it really two summers ago
Or was it outer space We both had nowhere to go In search of a state of grace All in all we never had time When we met each other we stopped on a dime Floating nowhere Suspended in dreams That we were side by side We both had to see what it means Whenever two worlds collide All in all the pieces were scattered A world so small that nothing else mattered Was it really two light years past We left the atmosphere We both had to catch our breath Somewhere way down here All in all and by and by The tears for forgiveness Will hang out to dry |

On the dead of the night I live on a dream, it came to me When I was young I brought it here, and now for years The streets of London keep it safe and warm Every morning it dies and is reborn In the dead of the night I keep a pencil and a book I say this is how a life can look Russian roulette, French-kissed cigarette And the silence like an anvil The things that you learn, but now all that burns Is a candle And the fog melts over the night, and it softens the edges I begin to write in the dead of the night A bead of sweat runs down my arm And I drink it from my skin It is the most real thing that I feel It is communion Bless the meek Heal the sick Protect the weak In the dead of the night |

A smile can bring you near to me Don't ever let me find you gone 'Cuz that would bring a tear to me This world has lost its glory Let's start a brand new story now my love Right now there'll be no other time And I can show you how my love Talk in everlasting words And dedicate them all to me And I will give you all my life I'm here if you should call to me You think that I don't even mean A single word I say It's only words and words are all I have To take your heart away |

Please no more therapy Mother take care of me Piece me together with a Needle and thread Wrap me in eiderdown Lace from your wedding gown Fold me and lay me down On your bed Or liken me to a shoe Blackened and spit-shined through Kicking back home to you Smiling back home Singing back home to you Laughing back home to you Dragging back home to you I was so wary then The ugly American Thinner than oxygen Tough as a whore I said you can lie to me I own what's inside of me And nothing surprises me anymore But forests in Germany Kids in the Tuileries Broken-down fortresses In old Italy And claiming his victory Shrouded in mystery He went running away with me Back in our home New York Walking these streets forlorn We all in our uniforms Black and black Doing that slouch and jive The artist must survive We've got all we need we cried And we don't look back Thinking we had it made Poised for the hit parade Knee deep in accolades The conceptual pair But ever the malcontent He left without incident Vanished into thin air Now I am always amazed Words can fill up a page Pages fill up the days Between him and me But the vows that we never keep >From bedrooms to business-speak Make me remember how cheap Words can be And the letters I wrote you of Were those of the desperate stuff Like begging for love in a suicide threat But I am too young to die Too old for a lullaby Too tired for life on the ledge But I had a dream last night Of lovers who walked the plank Out on the edge of time Amidst ridicule They laughed as they rocked and reeled Over the mining fields Coming to rest on this ship of fools But he just took polaroids Of her smile in the light Of the dawn of the menacing sky And before they went overbaord She turned and held up a card And it said Valentine |

I got a cool head doin' alright But I been up here so long I was starving For some hot spells, summer lights Shinin' on your back roads Tennessee Somebody hit me hard Right in my own backyard Somebody put a hope lock on my heart Runnin' down your back roads Tennessee Oh you got the banjos And they play real slow Not to me, not to me I never heard such rock and roll As on your back roads Tennessee Now I know you're not to blame But you know that you should have told me That I would never be the same After riding down your back roads Tennessee Somebody held me tight Somebody tried to fight Somebody raced out in the night Runnin' down your back roads Tennessee Oh you kissed the soul of a rebel In a Yankee girl You got to me I heard you callin' 'round the world From your back roads Tennessee I saw somebody standin' In a field with a crutch Behind his rich southern daddy With a Midas touch They said be outta here by sundown They said good luck You might say I was the stranger Who knew too much Somebody took a hope lock from my heart And threw it down your back roads Tennessee Oh you feel the north wind blow That's only me I want to hear some rock and roll On your back roads Tennessee I'm not the bad city girl Come down to rape you I'm not the hometown queen Who wants to save you I heard you callin' to my soul From your back roads Tennessee |

Here we go again Another round of blues Several miles ago I set down my angel shoes On a lost highway For a better view Now in my mind's eye All roads lead to you Chorus: So wherever you go You better take care of me This time If you're gonna go Remember me and all This time We had our bitter cheer And sweet sorrow We lost a lot today We get it back tomorrow I hear the sound of wheels I know the rainbow's end I see lights in a fat city I feel love again Chorus All this time I been makin' deals Shades if black and white On a Hollywood reel All this time I been missing Something so real All this time I been a face in the crowd Now I'm living in color And laughing out loud All these names For just foolin' around It's a new breakthrough It's an old break down We smoked a lot of hope We did our cryin' , too We're finally waking up To what real love can do Down a lost highway Under the twilight moon A chorus in your eyes Another round of blues Chorus We had all This time We had all This time |

I don't know what else to do I would rather do anything Than write this song for you And perpetuate this thing In my head, in my living room With the usual arsenal Of broken chords and rusty strings To surrender all And I don't like to be so weak Retreating behind these lines The same old tongue-in-cheek Regretting that both are mine And I don't like to live this way This is really true But I know better than to pray now About what I just have to learn to do But imagine the nerve of God Letting me let you in And I thought I could let you go in grace I've gotta think again Because right now I would be bought and sold To see your face somewhere I would sell your sweet soul Just to touch your crazy black gold hair I don't care what's really real I was someone that you'd heard of I saw heaven in your eyes And we made a deal And that's what I know of love Music, it never goes But I told you I hate that shit When people say"well you know You got a song out of it" But I don't know what else to do I would rather be anywhere Than here without you |

Maybe somewhere in the southern hemisphere There could be room for all this love Where they've saved a place for innocence And what is still mysterious And their dreaming time They're dreaming time Because we've broken down the wilderness And we've blackened up the skies And we cry 'cause we've got no vision left While the smoke gets in our eyes And there's no more time And the dream is dying But I love you baby And I know you and I Can find a way to heaven Just like Orion in the sky He's the long lost hero He's the guardian of your son But can he protect us baby >From all the sad things we've done Now I know there's no sense in hiding And we can't escape this war And I have made my peace with dying Down here on this killing floor In a world gone blind Where there's no more time But I love you baby And I know by and by We gonna find a way to heaven Just like Orion in the sky He can walk upon the water He can shine for everyone But can he protect us baby >From all the sad things we've done Is it too much to ask in a lifetime For just one shot at happiness Do you just have to laugh at the right lines Until you come face to face With the looking glass To be reckoned with the sins of our time I love you baby I can see you and I As we fly away together Up to Orion in the sky He's the last of the fallen angels He's the light of the Southern Cross Maybe he can take us baby Back to the paradise we've lost So I'll see you darlin' Now fly baby, fly Down across the Fiji Islands To where the Seven Sisters cry Gather all your dreams and take them Somewhere so far out of reach Follow the sword of the hunter, baby And meet me on the beach We are forever tied Still on the run To the medicine man For all the sad, sad things We've done |

Oh, my soul Sometimes we don't know what to do We work so hard Being tough on our own But now it's me and you Let's give it up Sad bones 'Cause we all fall on hard times But you don't have to stand up all alone Just put your hand in mine Climb on A back that's strong Hey hey You can git' what you want Climb on A back that's strong If you could save me A place in heaven With a clean well-lighted room I'll muscle up to Armageddon And I'll wave to you darlin' Be home soon And if you could show me The story of love I would write it Again and again And then you could be The woman you need If you just let me be The man that I am Oh, I don't know Sometimes we try too hard to see But we got one down now One more to go That's when you say To me |

Full full moon and That same sad nature I wanna cover every inch of you Like ink on paper Like the blind parade of souls Consumed by religion I can't wait 'til I get you In that defenseless position Chorus: When we set the prairie on fire Oh we go down to the water Naked and slow You and me And the heart of desire We set the prairie on fire How hard will the wind blow How far will it go When the feeling burns down To one solitary color The velocity of longing Melting into each other It's a song our fingers play All at once and together You can bet we never learned it But we've known it forever Oh I dreamed that we were flying Carried up from the ashes Black silhouettes of velvet Against the crimson of passion We can almost hear the echoes >From the smoldering meadow It's the rapture of the angels And the rage of the devil Chorus In the cool dusk of horses Through the rusted wires of sleep With our arms around midnight We're headed for release We go riding in the wind We go riding in the dark Go riding, riding Chorus |

Jane it sure looks like rain These Canadian plains And their windblown hair Jane the bruise colored clouds The smell of the ground In the ripening air I have seen you In your fluttering dress And your dry face of steel As you're dragging your red rowing boat Cross the forever fields See Jane something's gone dead Inside my head There's nothing but fear Jane the rivers of grief The tears of relief Seem ages from here Sometimes the beauty of life Hits like lightening washing everything clear And these dimmers of doubt flicker Fade out and disappear But Jane that is a luxury There are those of little faith it seems And they beg for truth like charity And I see them on every street corner They are holding out one righteous hand While the other leads the marching band In the shadow hymn of the scratchman Heed the message, kill the messenger Jane I heard you found love Wriggling up from the mud On the shores of Granville But Jane in the wink of an eye The naysayers fly Like hounds at your heels Jane they'll whisper your name And you won't feel the chains And you won't see the moss Oh, Jane there's an art to the game The aesthetics of love The athletics of loss Sometimes someone drifts by And our nets get entwined in the sea And in time I might find They still mean something to me But Jane that is a luxury There are those of little faith in me And they pull me down like gravity And I see them on every street corner They are masters in the sleight of hand They are dancers and they step so grand To the shibboleth of Shadowland Heed the message, kill the messenger |

China gets broken
And it will never be the same Boats on the ocean Find their way back again I am weaving like a drunkard Like a balloon up in the air I am needing a puncture and someone To point me somewhere I'm gonna keep my head on straight I just hope it's not too late Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on Steady on! I was feeling imploded A wooden smile, a wooden heart Then things exploded Like rockets in the dark Now I'm pulling out splinters And off to hibernate somewhere For the nuclear winter Of another love affair 'Cause he seemed like a miracle I ate it up like cereal But it was something like shrapnel Steady on! It's like ten miles of two-lane On a South Dakota wheat plain In the middle of a hard rain A slow boat or a fast train I'm gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight Steady on |

Of the feelings I have for him In my heart Every time that I come near him I just loose my nerve like Ive done From the start Cause every little thing he does is magic Every thing he does just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for him goes on Do I have to tell the story? Of the thousand rainy days Since we first met Its a big enough umbrella But its always me who ends up getting wet Cause every lil thing he does is magic Every thing he does just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for him goes on I resolve to call him up A thousand times a day And ask him if hell marry me In some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reached the phone Long before my tongues tripped me must i always be alone Cause every little thing he does is magic Every thing he does just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for him goes on Cause every little thing he does is magic Every thing he does just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for him goes on goes ongoes on |

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town.
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around. You go to school and you learn to read and write. So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life. I work at the fillin' station on the interstate. Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates. They ask me how far into Memphis girl, and where's the nearest beer. And they don't even know that there's a town around here. Someday I'm finally gonna let go. 'Cause I know there's a better way. And I wanna know what's over that rainbow. I'm gonna get out of here someday. Now my brother went to college cause he played football. I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small. I got me a 67 Chevy, she's low and sleek and black. Someday I'll put her on the interstate and never look back. |

Over by the wildwood, hot summer night.
We lay in the tall grass, til the mornin' light come shining If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam. Sometimes to serve my country , Sometimes I stay at home. Just don't put me in the frame upon the mantel Where memories turn dusty old and grey. Don't leave me alone in the twilight. Twilight is the loneliest time of day . Never gave a second thought, never crossed my mind. What's right and what's not. I'm not the judgin' kind. I could take the darkness and the storms from the skies. But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside. Don't send me no distant salutations. Or silly souvenirs from far away. Don't leave me alone in the twilight. Twilight is the loneliest time a day. Don't put me in the frame upon the mantel. Where memories turn dusty old and grey. Don't leave me alone in the twilight. Twilight is the loneliest time a day. |

If These Walls Could Speak
(J. Webb) If these old walls, if these old walls could speak. What a tale they have to tell, hard headed people raisin' hell. A couple in love livin' week to week. Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak. If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk. These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells. And children playin' at hide and seek. From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak. They would tell you that I'm sorry. For bein' and cold and blind and weak. They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak. If these old walls could speak. If these old fashion window panes had eyes. I guess they would have seen it all. Each little tear and silence step fall. And every dream that we came to seek, And followed after, if these old walls could speak. They would tell you that I owe you, More that I could ever pay. Here's someone who really loves you, Don't ever go away. That's what these walls would say. |
