Voodoo Doll (Jeb Anderson)
you must have a voodoo doll of me
i lie each night staring at the ceiling and i never sleep
you’re burnin’ candles in the dark
pokin’ pins in my broken heart
you must have a voodoo doll of me
you must have a deal with the devil himself
well you told me that you loved me but you
left me lonely for someone else
only a soul that compromised
without a blink can tell such lies
yeah you must have a deal with the devil himself
yeah i know what goes around comes around
yes i know in time i’ll be OK
yeah i know that hanging on just pulls me down
i just can’t let go... you won’t let me let go [top]
Can’t Believe (Paul Bobal)
sometimes i cant believe that she’s my woman
sometimes i cant believe that i’m the one she loves
i cant believe that when i dream she’s lying there beside me
but every night i stop & thank the stars above
i’m amazed at the way she always knows the answer
when i’m crazed and cant seem to find my way
she’s the only one knows the way to turn my tears to laughter
my reason for believing each and every day
she can smile & the world will change around me
every mile that we walk upon this road that we are on
brings us closer to each other than the day that came before
till it seems as if the two of us are one
there are those who wont believe that this can happen
i know cause i was one not long ago
but its one thing to know a door is open
its the stepping thru that lets your feelings show [top]
Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers)
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away
And I know, I know...
hey I otta leave a young thing alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away [top]
Missing You (John Waite)
Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
And there's a message that I'm sending out,
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance,
Stop this heartbreak Overload
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
I ain't missing you,I ain't missing you,
I can lie to Myself
And there's a storm That's raging through my frozen heart tonight [top]
She Loves Me Anyway (Mark W. Winchester)
she don’t like me when i’m high
she don’t like me when i’m low
she don’t like me when i stay
she don’t like me when i go
but oh she loves me anyway
she don’t like me when i talk
she don’t like me when i won’t
she don’t like me when i play
she don’t like me when i don’t
but oh she loves me anyway
and it amazes me but it don’t cease
it puzzles me but there’s no missing piece
it ain’t logical but it’s won’t be denied
it’s magical i’m mystified [top]
City of Chicago (Luka Bloom)
in the City of Chicago,
As the evening shadows fall,
There are people dreaming,
Of the hills of Donegal.
Eighteen forty seven,
Was the year it all began,
Deadly Pains of hunger,
Drove a million from the land,
They journeyed not for glory,
Their motive wasn't greed,
a voyage of survival,
Across the stormy sea.
To the City of Chicago,
As the evening shadows fall,
There are people dreaming,
Of the hills of Donegal.
Some of them knew fortune,
And some them knew fame,
More of them knew hardship,
And died upon the plain,
They spread throughout the nation,
they Rode the railroad cars,
Brought their songs and music,
To ease their lonely hearts.
To the City of Chicago,
As the evening shadows fall,
There are people dreaming,
Of the hills of Donegal [top]
Mind On Vacation (Mose Allison)
you're sittin there yakkin right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
you know if silence was golden
you couldn't raise a dime
because you mind is on vacation but
your mouth is workin overtime
you're quotin figures you're droppin names
you're tellin stories and playin' games
you're over-laughin when things ain't funny
you're tryin to sound like you don't need money
you know if talk was criminal
you'd lead a life of crime
because you mind is on vacation and
your mouth is workin overtime
you know that life is short talk is cheap
don't be makin' promised that you can't keep
if you don't like this song I'm singin
just grin and bear it
all I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
and if you must keep talkin
please try and make it rhyme
because you mind is on vacation but
your mouth is workin overtime [top]
Help (Lennon/McCartney)
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help
When I was younger so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
When I was younger so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these day are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me [top]
Use Me (Bill Withers)
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news
that if it feels this good getting used
you just keep on using me until you use me up
My brother sat me right down & he talked to me
He
told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew
you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Oh sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people
and then you act real rude to me
But baby baby baby baby
when you love me I can't get enough
I,I,I wanna spread the news
that if it feels this good getting used
you just keep on using me until you use me up [top]
Man Like Me (Milan Miller, David Tolliver)
spent most of my life losing my religion
all in the search for the truth
i wasted some time made some bad decisions
but i’m blamin it all on my youth
lately my luck has been changin
finally i’m makin’ some plan
i got somethin’ i can hold on to
there’s one thing i don’t understand
what makes you want a man like me
you’ve given your heart without a guarantee
from where i stand it so hard to see
what makes you want a man like me
i was spendin my days workin odd jobs
and my nights in the back of some bar
& no tellin just where i was headed
on a road that couldn’t take me too far
but then you came and changed my direction
now i know i got so much to learn
you tore down all these walls all around me
helped me build back the bridges i burned
i know exactly what i’m feelin inside
but its so hard to put into words
cause i’ve changed deep down
god knows i’ve tried
still you’re so much more than i deserve
[top]
Thinkin’ (Paul Bobal)
it’s a mystery beyond all probability
that you should happen upon me so fortuitously
i was in a daze not unlike a rodent in a maze
while all the chaos around me felt like jimi in a haze
now the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel
has me contemplating filling in a piece of my puzzle
but i’m susceptible to a flight
of fantasy
it may be sheer temerity
or my own audacity
but if there’s a propensity for maybe hanging out with me
and all of my alacrity creates a possibility
i want you to consider
possibly to contemplate
a little mulling over
something new to masticate
i have a proposition
not a spanish inquisition
just maybe your position
so if you would just listen
i was thinkin’
we should get together for awhile
i was thinkin’
girl i like your confidence, your style
i was thinkin’ intead of all the other crap i see
it would feel so good to have you here with me
we have an opportunity to re-create a unity
that’s been around for centuries
a possible scenario to bring a person to his knees
but there’s no expectation
no need for apprehension
just a casual proposal to experience affection
i have this strong affinity
and now there’s opportunity
and all of this is amplified by tallest curiosity
so if you feel compliant
or a tendency to acquiesce
just give an indication of the harbinger of my success
i am open to suggestion
on this verbal introspection
so tell me please the possibility of my succession
what i really want to say is [top]
