To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Courtesies that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows, no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Who am I, what and why?
'Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Oh these sour times

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

After time the bitter taste
Of innocence, decent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide ....

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you
Nobody loves.. me
It's true
Not, like, you.. do

Flying

Hitting heavens high
I'm head on brake too low

Floating
I'm floating
Hanging below the sea
I'm telling you look at me

Ecstasy
I'm in ec...ecstasy

Singing
I'm singing. Yah!
Sounding hanging breathe
I'm begging you look at me

Ecstasy
I'm in ec....ecstasy
Ecstasy

Sally, you opened out your arms to all those young men
And girl you had room for every one of them
You're the only girl on Barry and Third
Sure as hell you're the only one who cared

So put your hands together for Sally
She saved all those young men
Put your hands together for Sally
She's the one who cared for them

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day in New York

Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen
Zoot suit and shinny shoes, he ran around town
And threw his metholated laughter
Most of his memories drowned

But he remembers what his mommy used to shout
She used to shout, one day surely son
The streets are gonna tire you out

So put your hands together for Sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for Sally
She was there when his luck was running thin

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day in New York

Tommy had a wife and family
But the needle came between the love and the hard times
Thank God for Sally, she was there through the misery
Just a place to lay his head, just about better off than dead

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day

Vince came up from the country
Couldn't even find himself a room
Thinking about his babies
That's further away than the moon

With no money but his pride in his pocket
There's really no way he can go home
There's a picture of his woman in his locket
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone

Put your hands together for Sally
She's the one who cared for him
Put your hands together for Sally
She was there when his luck was running thin

She's doing our dirty work
She's the only one who cares
Doing our dirty work
Thirsty world, one angry day in New York

Pizzicato Five (often known simply by the initials P5)[1] was a Japanese pop group best known to audiences in the West in their later incarnation as a duo of Maki Nomiya and Yasuharu Konishi. The group, widely credited (along with Flipper's Guitar) with spearheading the Shibuya-kei movement of Tokyo in the 1990s, is known for eclectic and energetic compositions that often pay homage to late 1960s English-language Pop Music.

"Mother's ruin"
She said to herself
"I'm just screwing my own mental health"
But Fridays and Saturdays
She walks down those alleyways
A latter day lady of the lamp

How you doing?
You ain't from round here
Won't you come in?
I'm really not scared
'Cause Fridays and Saturdays
I still do it anyways
And anything is better than out there

Now don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
So I won't cry myself dry anymore

Mothers ruin
Their own little girls
Keep them dreaming
There's more to this world
But turn her the other way
And every day's Father's day
He stays until there's nothing left to say

But don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
'Cause I can't take it round here anymore

Now don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
So you won't make my heart ache anymore
Leave the light on and don't shut the door

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Silence please now
I dont want a word
Got deep in trouble
And my hands got burnt

Aint nobody love me
Thats how I got here
With pockets full of nothing
And a head full of fear

You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine

Im a fish outta water
A soup in a basket
Gotta get to where Im going
But dont know how to ask it

Believed in a young man
Thats where I went wrong
And now Im in the gutter
And I aint got long

He was a callous boy
That much I could see
But the hearts a crazy fool
When it wants to believe

It loses all directions
Forgets how to drive
That honey saw me coming
And skinned me alive

You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine

You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine

Agent Ribbons Sing "Oh, la la" in 2010

Th e story of Agent Ribbons has not one–but many–beginnings, and fashioning some semblance of chronology from their cut-and-paste four-year history is an art project in and of itself. Originally hailing from the shanty-Victorian streets of downtown Sacramento, they now reside in Austin,TX when they aren’t traveling the world and jamming econo.
Usually, you’ll experience them as a three piece, but they are also known to keep it simple with the original two-piece guitar, drums and vocals line up. In either case, they almost always catch crowds off-guard with their live rawness, bringing both an honest minimalism and unapologetic theatricality to their live shows.
Agent Ribbons isn’t just a band–it’s a tree house club of post-feminist dreamers trying to find their place in the scheme of things, like a hand-sewn and lovingly-crafted garment in a modern, disposable world. Listening to everything from Eartha Kitt to e Velvet Underground and taking notes from bands like The Shaggs, Th e Boswell Sisters and Th e Zombies, they miraculously reconcile seemingly-unrelated genres, sounding something like Girls in the Garage doing the Three Penny Opera. Waxing sentimental over the eerie beauty of all things lost to time, the emphasis is undoubtedly in the lyrics, which favor clever turns of phrase and occasional humor, but never at the expense of the melodic integrity of their catchy, memorable songs.
Since 2007, the band has toured the U.S. more times than they can remember. Some of those tours were with big national acts like Camera Obscura, Cake, Detroit Cobras and Girl in a Coma, and the rest were done vigilante-style in a Chevy Astro.





I'd rather be going nowhere
Knowing that that's where I was going
Than to be always headed somewhere
Unbeknownst to me

I know that you're seeking something
Elusive as it may be
Think of me
When you get somewhere
I hope it's nowhere without me

Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA


I'd rather be dreaming big dreams
And living just to get what I am given
While you wander after moonbeams
I'm dreaming just to see you in 'em
It's just for a while
But 400 miles seems like an eternity
Think of me when you get somewhere
I hope it's nowhere without me

Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)
Wish you hadn't gone away to LA
(oh la la)


oh la la
oh la la
oh la la
oh la la
oh la la
oh la la

Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You kno, darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there.
In love with my joy delirious,
The thought that you might care.
So taunt me, and hurt me,
Decieve me, desert me,
I'm yours till I die,
So in love with you am I

Deborah Harry Sings "Sound-A-Sleep" with Blondie in 1979

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s.

You close your eyes and you will see
Micro-flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see
It still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see
The sound asleep

I want to go, I want to go
I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference
Is my swimming pool

My, my swimming pool
Still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally
The sound asleep

Feel the muscles in your face
Twitch, relax, remembering
Everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep

Insomnia, no sleep disease
Petties parking, feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends on you
Touching ground with us but
I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else,
It seems
And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else,
It seems
And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye
Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet, the colors slip into the sky
But I don't know why that means you and I are, that means you and I
I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else,
It seems
And I quit I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else,
It seems
And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around

Camille Sings "In A Manner of Speaking" with Nouvelle Vague in 2004

Nouvelle Vague is a French cover band led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name means "new wave" in French. This refers simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of the French cinema cult), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s bossa nova-style arrangements.

Members, former members and contributors include many French artists who are now very well known on their own and considered as part of what is now called the "Renouveau de la chanson Française" (Nouvelle Chanson): Camille, Phoebe Killdeer, Mélanie Pain, Marina Céleste and Gerald Toto. Mareva Galanter joined the roster of vocalists in 2010.




In a manner of speaking I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that I feel about you
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words, give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ooh give me the words, give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking, semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking, I just want to say
That just like you, I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing

Oh give me the words, give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ooh give me the words, give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh give me the words, give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ooh give me the words, give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh am I fooling you?
Do you fall for it all
Or do you just see right through?
Are you as cool as you believe?
Are you playing hard?
Are you waiting just to quietly clock my card?
Are you waiting for a moment to leave?

I don't know how I bent what you said
To what I believe you meant
I don't know anything at all
I'm standing in the push and shove
And I'm just within the rescue
Of the labour of your love
I can't do anything but fall
A-fall, a-fall-fall-fall
Why do I feel like I can never find you?
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?
Why am I thinking of -
You and me and the labour of love?

One chance, one shot
That's all anybody ever got
Newborn still warm
Naked in the rush hour
Dancing in my gutter
And if you want to find me
Call me, I'll be far from
The cars and guitars and
Everybody
Why do I feel like I can never find you?
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?
Why am I thinking of -
You and me and the labour of love?

And I never knew before
But I feel like a child in a cold, cold war
So strong, so tough
Sitting in suburbia, waiting for the wind up
And I don't want to dance
I just want to jump from the prison of circumstance
Why am I thinking of -
You and me and the labour of love?
Why do I feel like I can never find you?
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?
Why am I thinking of -
You and me and the labour of love?

I'm gonna follow you, 'till I wear you down
I'm gonna follow you, 'cause this here's my town
You don't know these streets the way that I do (i do, I do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (i do, I do)

Oh, oh

I'm gonna follow you, 'till I know your timing
You'll turn some corner soon, and find you can't get by me
You don't know these streets the way that I do (i do, I do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (i do, I do)

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!

Oh, oh

I'm gonna follow you, 'till I wear you down

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!

Oh, oh

Looking counter clockwise
Knowing what could happen
Any moment maybe you maybe even you

Steadfast collapse
Always certain any moment
Maybe you maybe you
Maybe even you
Recline complete dream too sweet
I can't do it not with you
Not even with you
Maybe never with you

And I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Yeah I'd sell my soul for
Total control

Street wet tonight, lovers touch
It's pure delight
Always certain any moment
Maybe even you
Stay in bed stained sheets
My head hurts I repeat
Maybe you maybe you maybe even you

And I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Yeah I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Ooh I'd sell my soul for
Total control over you
Over you
Total control over you

Piss-poor, ridin high
Sunbathing fireside
We're here for the porn and the sirloin
Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide
Tunnel and sky collide
Lose friends to the airwaves and the airlines
I wanna make it right
Some future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
The waitress, the actress
Got the skin and the bones
With a hairbrush and an airbrush
She'd be white gold
She asked the piss-poor
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?"
It's just a movie about a movie too old to die
But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
Though my vision is straining
I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet

You know that my tears
Have kept me awake
The longer you're gone
I'll hunger and shake
From warsaw to rome
I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart

So won't you come close
Bring this to an end
With each winter rose
My love I will send
So tender the night
When you hold me tight
With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

You know that these tears
Have kept me awake
The longer you're gone
I'll hunger and shake
From warsaw to rome
I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The rhythm divine
The rhythm divine
The rhythm divine

With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

Following the drug-related deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon, the band has experienced numerous subsequent personnel changes, with Hynde as the only consistent member, and Chambers returning after an absence of several years.




When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally my time descends on me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

N'Dea Davenport Sings "Brother Sister" with The Brand New Heavies in 1994

Brother Sister is an album by Brand New Heavies, released in 1994. It spawned several singles, including "Spend Some Time" which spent two weeks at number two on the American dance charts. A cover of Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis" became popular in the UK, but was not included in the US version of the album.

Brother Sister was lead singer N'Dea Davenport's last album with Brand New Heavies before leaving to complete her solo album (which she had put on hold to join the Heavies). She returned to join the band ten years later.




Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister
Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister

Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen

Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours

So you stand up be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move

In my head those words remind me
What Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold on to your faith, don't be scared go out there

Just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Don't be scared go out there, just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

So you stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
