Heaven So Small

Heaven So Small - Lyrics
excuse me sir, what did you say?
when you shout so loud, it's hard to tell
you say that i must change my ways
for i am surely bound to hell
well i know you'd damn me if you could
but my friend, that's simply not your call
if god is great and god is good
why is your heaven so small
you say you know you say you've read
that holy bible up on your shelf
do you recall when jesus said
judge not, lest ye be judged yourself
for i know you'd damn me if you could
but my friend, that's simply not your call
if god is great, and god is good
why is your heaven so small
with your fists that shake, and your eyes that burn
what makes you do these things you do?
i would not be surprised to learn
someone somewhere excluded you
but my friend, imagine it if you would
a love much mightier than us all
o if god is great and god is good
why is your heaven
so small -

Our Father
4:15
Lyrics
Our Father - Lyrics
Thy kingdom come to every nation
Thy will be done in everything we do
Lord, lead us not into temptation
And deliver us
from those who think they're You
Lord send us forth to be of service
To build the schools and dig the wells
And deliver us from the creepy preachers
With their narrow minds and very wide lapels
Lord give us strength to bring compassion
to every corner of the world
And please allow for women in the Catholic priesthood
And remind the pope that he coulda been a girl
Lord deliver us from politicians
Who drop Your name in every speech
As if they're Your best friend from high school
As if they practice what they preach -

Did Trouble Me
4:10
Lyrics
Did Trouble Me - Lyrics
When I closed my eyes so I would not see
My Lord did trouble me
When I let things stand that should not be
My Lord did trouble me
When I held my head too high too proud
My Lord did trouble me
When I raised my voice too little too loud
My Lord did trouble me
Did trouble me
With a word or a sign
With the ringing of the bell in the back of my mind
Did trouble me
Did stir my soul
For to make me human, to make me whole
When I slept too long, slept too deep
My Lord did trouble me
Put a worrisome vision into my sleep
My Lord did trouble me
When I held myself away and apart
My Lord did trouble me
And the tears of my brother didn't move my heart
My Lord did trouble me
...
And of this I'm sure, of this I know
My Lord will trouble me
Whatever I do and wherever I go
My Lord will trouble me
In the whisper of the wind, in the rhythm of a song
My Lord will trouble me
To keep me on the path where I belong
My Lord will trouble me
Will trouble me... -

My Different Son
4:56
Lyrics
My Different Son - Lyrics
my little boy plays all alone
lives in a world that's all his own
my different son, my different son
he's not the same as everyone -
he's my different son
my little boy doesn't quite fit in
schools and rules were never made for him
my different son, my different son
won't have anybody making fun
of my different son
my different son already knows by now
he's always gonna be a different boy somehow
but there's so much passion, so much pride
so much possibility inside
my different son, my different son
wanna set him free and watch him run
for my different son, i'm doing all i can
one day my different son is gonna be a man
want him to build a life he can be proud of
find his purpose, find some love
my different son, my different son
cause he's just the same as everyone
but he's not the same as everyone
he's - he's - my -
son -

Kicking The Beehive
4:20
Lyrics
Kicking The Beehive - Lyrics
some people love their easy chair
some people love to spend their evenings
sitting right there
some people sip their morning tea
some people love their days as dull and calm as can be
not me
CHORUS:
i keep kicking the beehive just to feel alive again
i keep bursting bubbles
stirring up trouble where i can
i keep playing with matches
something catches let it burn
i keep kicking the beehive
and i know i'll never learn
some people need to get along
some people live in fear
they might say something wrong
some people happily comply
some people do as they are told and never ask why
not i
CHORUS
so don't teach me - don't preach to me
strange, some people never want to feel a thing
strange, the way i kinda like to feel the sting
CHORUS
so don't teach me - there's no reaching me -

I Know What I Want

Lyrics
I Know What I Want - Lyrics
i know what i want and i want you
i know what i want and i want you
i know what i need and i need you
and i don't want nobody else
no i don't want nobody else
all of my life i've wanted to find you
and i love the way nature designed you
but some people can't see
me with you, you with me
why can't they let love be
because we know what we want
CHORUS
my family and friends, they don't understand it
'cause my fairy tale didn't go like they planned it
they fought it right from the start
they said you don't look the part
oh but i know in my heart
why can't they let love be
mamma don't get it (no no)
daddy don't get it (no no)
this town don't get it (no no)
this county don't get it (no no)
this state don't get it (no no)
let's move on out (yes yes)
let's move up north (yes yes)
let's move out east (yes yes)
get somewhere else (yes yes)

Lyrics
The Last Words of Bonnie Parker - Lyrics
i don't wanna think about it
or take a backwards look
i don't wanna hear 'em saying
how i mighta got took
all i know is when i met you
my whole little world shook
i just wanna be with you
i just wanna be with you
and i don't wanna know the difference
between wrong and right
all i know is when i met you
it was love at first sight
hair wild as a windstorm
eyes dark as the night
i just wanna be with you
i just wanna be with you
CHORUS:
so drive me baby round the bend
we'll take this highway to the end
there's no turning back again
and i don't wanna know the reason
why my marriage didn't last
say it's over when it's over
call the past the past
throw the money in a suitcase
and then drive away fast
i just wanna be with you
i just wanna be with you
and i don't wanna know the meaning
i don't wanna understand
why i like to hold a pistol
in the palm of my hand
why you only feel the first time
that you gotta kill a man
i just wanna be with you
i just wanna be with you
CHORUS
so hold me close right by your side
if'n this is our last ride
jesus christ
i love you,

Manhattan, Kansas
3:58
Lyrics
Manhattan, Kansas - Lyrics
out where the prairie grass waves in the wind
and where the sunsets last forever
that's where i fell in love with him
did i see this coming - never
CHORUS:
manhattan, kansas
we all do what we gotta do
i did what i did
and i surely don't blame you
i simply needed
for things to turn out differently
manhattan, kansas, can you understand me
i was a college girl from out of state
he was a rancher from salina
when i told him i was three weeks late
he said, "i can't be a father..."
CHORUS
the longest sidewalk i will ever see
deputies on either side of me
people crying, praying rosaries
but all of that was many years ago
now i'm out in pennsylvania
i watch my lovely daughters as they grow
and i keep sunflowers on the table

Time Between Trains

Lyrics
Time Between Trains - Lyrics
I'm waitin' at the station
I can choose my destination
I'm a free soul, I got no chains
But it's a long time between trains
I took a long nap, I read a whole book
I got nice legs, I got decent looks
And I'm not one who complains
But it's a long time between trains
And who'd have thought it all those years
That I would find myself back here
Feelin' restless and ignored
Starin' at the schedule board
Wonderin' why the fates above
Always route love through Miami
And somewhere lovers smile their smiles
While I count the ceiling tiles
And well give or take a few
There's one thousand fifty-two
But that depends if you include
The eighty-eight out in the hall
Yes I'm waitin' at the station
With my old friend sublimation
You know the Wright boys designed planes
Must have been a long time... -

Red Dress

Lyrics
Red Dress - Lyrics
i got on my red dress, honey
got on my red dress for you
welcome home now, baby
and you're welcome to me too
you've been working so hard darling
thought you might like a little treat
put down that heavy suitcase
and help me put up both of my feet
cause i love to hear you calling
to the father, son and the holy ghost
and i love that sweet sweet music
of your wedding ring 'gainst the brass bedpost
got on my red dress, honey
got on my red dress for you
'cause it's like you love to tell me -
my little red dress, it fits you too -

Chicago Any Day
3:36
Lyrics
Chicago Any Day - Lyrics
You take Manhattan
You can have that'n
Give me Chicago any day
L.A. may be hot
Ain't got what we've got
Give me Chicago any day
Give me the down home people
who say what they mean
Give me the lake and the river
so marvelous and clean
Give me the best tall buildings
the world has ever seen
We scrape the blue from the sky
so there's nothing left for Cleveland
Don't need to see more
of old Baltimore
Give me Chicago any day
Or go get lost in
the streets in Boston
Give me Chicago any day
Just give me Michigan Avenue
any time of year
Leave and you'll wish again
that you were livin' here
We got Studs Terkel
Got Wiener Circle
Give me Chicago any day
Give me the full length overcoat
the two button suit
Give me the Field Museum
the Art Institute
Give me the Cubs out at Wrigley
We root, root, root
And if the win you would say
they exceeded expectations
Go see Grant Park
That ain't no scant park
Give me Chicago any day
Go ride the L train
Now isn't that a swell train
Give me Chicago any day
Because the way I reckon
when the reckoning's done
You'll find the second city
is second to none
Enough chit-chattin'
about Manhattan
Give me Chicago any day
Give me Chicago any day -

I Can't Be New
3:52
Lyrics
I Can't Be New - Lyrics
Coffee, ham and eggs
I can be your diner
Tired aching legs
I'll be your recliner
And when you need a breath of air
I'll be your balcony
When you need a laugh
I can be your joker
Cut a loss in half
I can be your broker
'Cos all of that and more
You have been for me
And I'll be the release
When the pressure's heightening
I can be the grease
When your wheels are tightening
And when you need a dance
I can be that old soft-shoe
I can be your girl
Through the best and worst time
But I can't be the girl you notice
For the first time
There's so much I can do
But I can't be new
And when they're buying you steak baby
I can be the gravy
When they throw you in the lake
I can be the navy
Be that three-day leave
I can be that bad tattoo
I can be the sky
The very wild blue yonder
Still I can't catch your eye
When it starts to wander
As I've seen it do
Oh at least a time or two
I'll be anything for you baby
But I can't be new... -

May I Suggest

Lyrics
May I Suggest - Lyrics
May I suggest
May I suggest to you
May I suggest this is the best part of your life
May I suggest
This time is blessed for you
This time is blessed and shining almost blinding bright
Just turn your head
And you'll begin to see
The thousand reasons that were just beyond your sight
The reasons why
Why I suggest to you
Why I suggest this is the best part of your life
There is a world
That's been addressed to you
Addressed to you, intended only for your eyes
A secret world
Like a treasure chest to you
Of private scenes and brilliant dreams that mesmerise
A lover's trusting smile
A tiny baby's hands
The million stars that fill the turning sky at night
Oh I suggest
Oh I suggest to you
Oh I suggest this is the best part of your life
There is a hope
That's been expressed in you
The hope of seven generations, maybe more
And this is the faith
That they invest in you
It's that you'll do one better than was done before
Inside you know
Inside you understand
Inside you know what's yours to finally set right
And I suggest
And I suggest to you
And I suggest this is the best part of your life
This is a song
Comes from the west to you
Comes from the west, comes from the slowly setting sun
With a request
With a request of you
To see how very short the endless days will run
And when they're gone
And when the dark descends
Oh we'd give anything for one more hour of light
And I suggest this is the best part of your life -

Movie of My Life
4:06
Lyrics
Movie of My Life - Lyrics
When they make the movie of my life
I hope they get somebody beautiful to play me
Somebody eloquent and beautiful to play me
When they make the movie of my life
And when they make the movie of my life
I hope they get somebody famous to direct it
Somebody famous and a genius to direct it
When they make the movie of my life
And everyone will see
How hard it's been for me
How much I've overcome
To be someone
Deserving of a motion picture
And when they write the book about my life
I hope they write about my sexual adventures
My very legendary passionate adventures
When they write the book about my life
And when they write the book about my life
I hope they mention I was very good with children
Good with the elderly and animals and children
When they write the book about my life
And everyone will see
They underrated me
Oh how they disbelieved and misperceived
This living saint and tiger woman
But if they really made a movie of my life
They'd show me going to a thousand stupid movies
And if they really wrote a book about my life
They'd say I read a lot of nothing little novels
And all this is true
And everyone will see
My mediocrity
How I deserve to be
Forgotten just like everybody else
So please don't make a movie of my life
Don't make a musical or write me into fiction
I don't deserve any portrayal or depiction
Please just let me live my little
Very very very little
Life
My life, my life
My life
Yes, yes, yes
Brilliant, just brilliant

Help Somebody - Lyrics
i got plenty and then some
what do i do?

get plenty and then some, too
i got a roof over my head

i got supper on the table

get supper on the table, too
'cause i got it to give

and when you got enough to give away
well it's the only way to live
i'm going to heaven
