Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack
 
Chorus:

Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7                           G
singing my life with his words
Em                      A
killing me softly with his song
               D           C
killing me softly with his song
           G                   C
telling my whole life with his words.
               Esus4
Killing me softly
             E
with his song.

Am7          D
I heard he sang a good song
G          C
I heard he had a style
Am7        D
and so I came to see him 
    Em
and listen for a while.
Am7            D7
And there he was this young boy
G          H7
a stranger to my eyes.
(Chorus)
I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters 
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.
(Chorus)
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong.

(Chorus)

Strong enough – Sheryl Crow
God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave
Black Velvet, 
Alannah Myles
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell 
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high 
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder 
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky 
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything 
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for... 
Black velvet and that little boy's smile 
Black velvet with that slow southern style 
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees 
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave 
White lightening, bound to drive you wild 
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl 
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle 
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true 
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for... 
Every word of every song that he sang was for you 
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, 
what could you do? 
(Solo) 
(chorus) 
Sweet Home Alabama
(Ed King - Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant) 
Big wheels keep on turnin',
carry me home to see my kin.
Singin' songs about the south land.
I miss ole 'Bamee once again and I think it's a sin, yes.

Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ol' Neil put 'er down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
a southernman don't need him around anyhow!

Sweet Home Alabama,
Where the skies are so blue.
Sweet Home Alabama,
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

In Birmingham they love the gov 'nor, boo, boo, boo,
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me,
Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth

Sweet Home Alabama,
Where the skies are so blue.
Sweet Home Alabama, yeah.
Lord, I'm comin' home to you.
Here I come. Alabama!

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers,
and they've been known to pick a song or two. (Yes they do)
Lord they get me off so much,
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, 'n' now how 'bout you?

Sweet Home Alabama,
Where the skies are so blue.
Sweet Home Alabama,
Lord, I'm comin' home to you!

Sweet Home Alabama, (oh sweet home!)
Where the skies are so blue. (and the gov-'nor's true.)
Sweet Home Alabama, (oh yeah.)
Lord, I'm comin' home to you! (Oo, Oo, yeah, Yeah!)

All Right Now -Free

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said "Hey what is this?"
Maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said "Hey what's your name?"
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't worry, don't hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate

Chorus
Alright now, baby it's a alright now
Alright now, baby it's a alright now

Let me tell you now....

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said "Look, what's your game?"
Baby are you tryin' to put me in shame?
I said now "Slow, don't go fast"
Don't you think that love can last?
She said "Love? Lord above"
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

LITTLE WING (Jimi Hendrix) 
Well she's walking through the clouds with a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairly tales, That's all she ever thinks about... Riding the wind When I'm sad she comes to me with a thousand smiles she gives to me free It's alright, she says, it's alright, Take anything you want from me, anything. Fly on, little wing.

A Whiter Shade Of Pale-Annie Lennox
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

------ organ solo ------

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was.... (fade)

------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an unpublished second verse
that they included in concerts:

She said "I'm home on shore leave"
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride"
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight 'way died

JEREMY – Perl Jam
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top 
Lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V 
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below 
Daddy didn't give attention 
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care 
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world... 
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x) 
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy 
Seemed a harmless little fuck 
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion... 
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast... 
How can I forget? 
And he hit me with a surprise left 
My jaw left hurtin'...ooh, dropped wide open 
Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard 
Daddy didn't give affection, no... 
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear 
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world 
Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x) 
Woo... (14x) 
Try to forget this...try to forget this... 
Try to erase this...try to erase this... 
From the blackboard... 
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x) 
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x) 
Jeremy spoke in class today... 

BLACK – Pearl Jam
Hey...oooh... 
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay 
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did 
All five horizons revolved around her soul 
As the earth to the sun 
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn 
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything 
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore 
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds 
Of what was everything? 
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... 
I take a walk outside 
I'm surrounded by some kids at play 
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear 
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head 
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning 
How quick the sun can, drop away 
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass 
Of what was everything? 
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... 
All the love gone bad turned my world to black 
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be...yeah... 
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh... 
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star 
In somebody else's sky, but why 
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine 

ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND... Pearl Jam
I seem to recognize your face 
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it 
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name 
Lifetimes are catching up with me 
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place 
But no one's ever taken me 
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x) 
I swear I recognize your breath 
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising 
Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former 
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf 
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate 
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see 
I just want to scream...hello... 
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return 
But now here you are, and here I am 
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away... 

NOTHINGMAN 
Once divided...nothing left to subtract... 
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back... 
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking... 
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking... 
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go... 
Nothingman... (2x) 
Isn't it something? 
Nothingman... 
She once believed...in every story he had to tell... 
One day she stiffened...took the other side... 
Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell... 
One just escapes...one's left inside the well... 
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh... 
Nothingman... (2x) 
Isn't it something? 
Nothingman... 
Oh, she don't want him... 
Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away... 
Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

I hope that someone gets my

LITHIUM-Nirvana
I'm so happy cause today I've found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly but that's okay cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
Cause I've found god
hey, hey, hey

I'm so happy cause today I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited I can't wait to meet you there
But I don't care
I'm so horny but that's okay
My will is good
hey, hey, hey 

Easy 
I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I beg, stole, and I borrowed
Yeah!

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
It's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high
So high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me
Oh babe!

It's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
It's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

By: Weiland, R. DeLeo 
And I feel that time's a wasted go So where ya going to tomorrow? And I feel that these are lies to come Would you even care? 
And I feel it And I feel it 
Where ya going to tomorrow? Where ya goin' with the mask I found? And I feel, and I feel When the dogs begin to smell her Will she smell alone? 
And I feel, so much depends on the weather So is it raining in your bedroom? And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray Would you even care? 
And I feel it And she feels it 
Where ya going to tomorrow? Where ya goin' with the mask I found? And I feel, and I feel When the dogs begin to smell her Will she smell alone? 
When the dogs do find her Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow 

Sweet child o mine - GNR
She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine

I will survive - Cake
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong
And I grew strong
I learned how to get along 
So now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face
I should have changed my f---ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my love
For someone who's loving me
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

Sheryl Crow - Tomorrow Never Dies

Darling I'm killed
I'm in a puddle on the floor
Waiting for you to return
Oh what a thrill
Fascinations galore
How you tease, how you leave me to burn
It's so deadly my dear
The power of having you near

Until the day...
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
See it in your eyes
Tomorrow Never Dies

Darling you won
It's no fun
Martini's, girls and guns
It's murder on our love affair
It's you , that's your life
Every night, as you chase the morning light
You're not the only spy out there
It's so deadly my dear
The power of wanting you near

Until the day...
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
See it in your eyes
Tomorrow Never Dies

(repeat)

Until the day...
Until the world falls away
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes
See it in your eyes
Tomorrow Never Dies

Life springs eternal 
On a gaudy neon street 
Not that I care at all 
I spent the best part of my losing streak 
In an Army Jeep 
For what I can't recall 
Oh I'm banging on my TV set 
And I check the odds 
And I place my bet 
I pour a drink 
And I pull the blind 
And I wonder what I'll find 
[Chorus] 
I'm Leaving Las Vegas 
Lights so bright 
Palm sweat, blackjack 
On a Saturday night 
Leaving Las Vegas 
Leaving for good, for good 
I'm leaving for good 
I'm leaving for good 
Used to be I could drive up to 
Barstow for the night 
Find some crossroad trucker 
To demonstrate his might 
But these days it seems 
Nowhere is far enough away 
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today 
[Chorus] 
I'm standing in the middle of the desert 
Waiting for my ship to come in 
But now no joker, no jack, no king 
Can take this loser hand 
And make it win 
[Chorus] 
I quit my job as a dancer 
At the Lido des Girls 
Dealing blackjack until one or two 
Such a muddly line between 
The things you want 
And the things you have to do 
[Chorus] 
I'm leaving Las Vegas 
And I won't be back 
No I won't be back 
Not this time 

Come Together

Wild Horses - Jagger, Richard 1970
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exit or off stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away.

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday.
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday.

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction – Rollingt Stones
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car
When a man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, a no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts could be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no, a no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm riding 'round the world
And I'm doing this and I'm signing that
And I'm trying to make some girl
Who tells me, baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no, a no no, no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction
I can't get no, I can't get no

Drown –smashing pumpkins
No matter where you are, I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far Just to see you I'll come around, when I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming around 
No matter where you are, I can still hear you when you dream 
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming around 
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said? 
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same 
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will

1979 – smashing pumpkins 
shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street
you and i should meet
junebug skipping like a stone
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
and i don't even care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know
just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
double cross the vacant and the bored
they're not sure just what we have in the store
morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured cement, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
justine never knew the rules,
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it
to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
the street heats the urgency of sound
as you can see there's no one around

Addict – k’s choice
Breathe it in and breathe it out
and pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
we're high above but on the floor
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it your on the other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
the deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie) 
It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(nothing means a thing to me)
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
Free me, leave me
watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling ... 
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel ...
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a Lie)
I'm not an addict ...
