I Can't Explain [The Who]

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain).
A certain kind (Can't explain).
I'm freezing cold (Can't explain).
Geting down in my soul...

I said I can't explain
I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain).
I'm dizzy in the head, and I'm feeling blue,
Things you said, maybe there too.
I'm getting funny dreams again and again.
I know what it means but

I can't explain. I'm freezing cold.
When I say it to you, I feel good.

I can't explain (Can't explain).
When you are there (Can't explain).

(Go Mike!)

I'm dizzy in the head and feeling bad.
Things you said girl, got me real mad.
I'm getting funny dreams again and again.
I know what it means but

I can't explain. I'm freezing cold.
When I say it to you, I feel good.
I can't explain (Can't explain).
I said one more time, go Mike! (Can't explain).

I said I can't explain.
Baby, yeah, got me out of my mind.
I'm the warmest guy.
I said I can't explain.

I Could Prove to You [10/28/93, 3/24/94; Improv]

Didn't mean before to falter...
Pushin' can I stay?
Take a look to the alter...
If your gonna take her, take her run away...
Forgive yourself...fall like you never dreamed...
Love can last forever, how impossible it may seem...

I can prove to you...
We can look at stars, fly away...
I could prove with you...
You could take off faraway...

A form of proof...cold will follow...
The coward runs...the courageous swallow...
I could prove to you...
We could fly away...
I could prove with you...oh take...

I Got You [Split Enz]

I've got you, and that's all I want.
I won't forget, 'cause that's a whole lot.
When something's wrong, I feel uneasy.
You show me, tell me you're not teasin'.

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.

Look at you, you're a pageant.
You're everything that I've imagined.
I don't go out, now that you're here.
Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem.

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
[2X]

There's no doubt, but when I'm with you.
When I'm without, I stay in my room.
Where do you go? I get no answer.
You're always out, it gets on my nerves...

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
[4X]

I'm Alive* [Bad Radio]

[Lyrics from Crossroads: The Unofficial Bad Radio Website]

So there I was walking down the street
Kinda surprised to be there 'cause...
I don't know, there's a lot of bad shit goin' on in the world
Rape and murder
Racism and starvation
And I'm feeling like I'm doin' pretty good for myself, you know?

I'm alive, how's that? (x8)

Anyway, I was thinking about rap music in general and I feel bad
I mean, where you going to go after the Beverly Hillbillies?
Rap hit it's peak in the 60s

I'm alive how's that? (x8)

Eh, what do you want, something profound in every verse?
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so"

I'm alive how's that? [x8]

I like to drink beer, I like to make love, I like to jam!
I like read Bukowski buck naked, I like intellectual conversations
I like to jump around like a maniac!
I like to sit very still

"Right..."

Immortality (alt. lyrics) 1 [4/11/94]

I can't sit on the wall...
I can't tell which one of you are...
I won't feel the comfort in the wind.

I don't feel the cause...
I can't fall... which one of you are...
I don't feel the comfort in the world.

Take it as is... I don't need this...
I die just to live... immortality.

I can't call it a cause...
I won't tell which way is analog...
I won't fall unless I have to go.

I won't feel the wall...
I will run... take these by-gone...
I won't take the answer from the one...

Take it as is... I don't need this...
I die just to live... immortality.

I can't follow the law...
I can't follow the world...
I can't fall if we die...
I can't fake it if we do...

I don't see you... I can't hold on...
I die just to live.
Take it as is... I don't need this...
Take it as a law.

Immortality (alt. lyrics) 2 [4/12/94]

I can't take the sun...
I got caught a couple...it alone...
I won't tell...the comfort in the world...

I can't take it off...
I won't say nothin...it's not my fault.
I won't care, there's something in the way(well)...

I'm takin' a vow...
I don't need this...
I die just to live...
Immortality.

I could paint the moon...
I could reflect light into a room...
If I could, the fortune of the glare...
I could paint it all...
I won't say nothin...it's not my fault
I won't call the alter in the end...

I'm takin the pills...
I don't need this...
I die just to live...
Immortality.

I can take a walk...
I won't fight this world...
I won't stay at all...
It is not my fault.

I'm takin' the pills...
I don't need this...
I die just to live...
I won't stay long...
I'll be long gone...
I die just to live.

[ Hey, Hey, My, My:]
Hey, Hey...this is my last day...
My, My...you know how hard I try...
Hey, Hey...I would have loved to stay...
My, My...I wish I could get high...

I'm the One [The Who]

Every year it's the same,
And I feel it again.
I'm a loser, no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come now, I'm callin',
Rolling in, his thoughts sinking in
I feel it again.

I am the one...[4X]
And I will be, you'll all see...
I'm the one...[2X]

Into the Black (Hey, Hey, My, My) [Neil Young]

Where I come from nothing's given...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I resent nepotism...
Now I paint with turpentine...
I, I give such good paradigm...

Hey, hey, my, my...
Rock and roll can never die...
There's more to the picture than meets the eye.
Hey, hey, my, my...

I Only Play for Money [The Frogs]

I don't do interviews, I won't sign autographs.
Don't you love the star when he's a prick?

I only play for money,
I don't give a fuck about the fans.
I only play for money,
I don't give a fuck if ya dance.

'Cause your diggin on the star...
'Cause your diggin on the one who's gone so far.

If you take my picture, your camera's smashed
If you write me fan mail, I won't write back
Don't you love the star when he's a prick?

I only play for money,
I don't give a fuck about the fans, yeah right.
I only play for money,
So leave your autograph books at home,
I don't give a dam, no...no...

'Cause your diggin on the star...
'Cause your diggin on the one that's gone so far.

I've Been Tired [6/24/98; The Pixies]

She's a real live wire, rocks your world for a hundred.
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed."
"I like Lou Reed," she said, sticking her tongue in my ear.
"Let's sit, let's talk, politics go so good with beer.
And while you're at it babe, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
Your biggest fears...
I said "Losing my penis to a whore with disease."
"Just kidding," I said.
"Losing my life to a whore with disease."
She said, "Excuse me, please? Excuse me, please?"
Fuck...fuck...

[Three Little Birds]
Don't you worry...don't you worry about a thing...
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright...alright...
Don't you worry...[4X]

I've Got a Feeling [The Beatles]

I've got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside.
I've got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide.
I got a feelin'.

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train.
And if you leave me, I won't be late again, no, no, no.
I've got a feelin'.

And I don't unrstand, how come nobody told me?
Why I'd want to sing like Milli Vanilli.
All I ever wanted was someone who looked like you.

I got a feelin' that keeps me on my toes.
I got a feelin', I think that everybody knows.
I got a feelin'.

Everybody had a good year, though we never saw the sunshine.
Everybody had a wet dream, making Temple was a good time.
Everybody made a movie, everybody had one line.
Everybody misses Andy. We'll be seein' him in no time.
I got a feelin'.

I got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside.
I got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide.
I got a feelin'.

I've Just Seen a Face [6/20/95; Beatles]

I've just seen a face...
I can't forget the time or place where we just met...
She's just the girl for me...
I want all the world to see we've met...

Had it been another day,
I might have looked the other way...
And I'd have never been aware...
As it is I'll dream of her tonight...

Fallin', yes I'm fallin'...
And she keeps callin' me back again...

I Won't Back Down [Tom Petty]

No, I won't back down. [2X]
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't back down.

I will stand my ground, won't be turned around.
I will keep my world from draggin' me down.
I won't back down. No, I won't back down

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey, I will stand my ground.
No, I won't back down.

Oh, I know what's right. I got just one life.
I will keep this world from pushin' me around.
I'll stand my ground. No, I won't back down.

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey, I will stand my ground,
And I won't back down.
[2X]

And I won't back down. No I won't back down.

I don't need you... I won't say it...
I won't say it... unless I mean it...
I won't say it... I won't say it...
I won't say nothin unless I mean...
Unless I mean it... I won't say a word, no...
