Revolution

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

There's a revolution inside my head
The battle lines are drawn and the stage is set
And all my defenses have left me for dead
There's a revolution in my head

There's a revolution inside my hands
They haven't been the same since the night we danced
I'm tired of fighting them, they just don't understand
There's a revolution in my hands

You appear like a spirit
Then vanish like a ghost
You're my only one, my rising sun
But Heaven only knows
How you draw me near, then disappear
Another chapter closed
But I will still remember

There's a revolution inside my heart
It hasn't been the same since we have been apart
Sad to say I knew this pain was coming from the start
There's a revolution in my heart

You appear like a spirit
Then vanish like a ghost
You're my only one, my rising sun
But Heaven only knows
How you draw me near, then disappear
Another chapter closed
But I will still remember

There's a revolution inside my heart
It hasn't been the same since we’ve been apart
Sad to say I knew this pain was coming from the start
There's a revolution in my heart

I've been around enough to know some people play the part
There's a revolution in my heart

She's Not You (But Tonight She'll Have To Do)

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I'm stuck inside of this cheap hotel
The TV's broken, I'm not feeling very well
I called your line but you're not at home
And I'm not in the shape to be left out here alone

So I go to the bar to get myself a drink
I need a place to hide, some space for me to think
And there she was just as clear as day
She could’ve been your sister, so I guess it’s okay
I say

She's not you
She's not you
She’s not you, but tonight she’ll have to do
She's not you
She's not you
She's not you

Oh my God, she's got your hair
She's got your eyes and your devilish stare
I'm sure if you met her on any other day
You'd be the best of friends, or at least have a lot to say
I say

She's not you
She's not you
She’s not you, but tonight she’ll have to do
She's not you
She's not you
She's not you

I won’t miss her
And I don’t want to kiss her
But you’re so far away from me, so what’s a man to do?
I’ll forget her
You know I love you better
That’s why I’m writing you this letter to say
I’m still stuck on you
Still stuck on you
Still stuck on you
Still stuck on you

I'm stuck inside of this cheap hotel
The TV's broken, I'm not feeling very well
Just ten more days and I’m coming home
Forgive me for these things I do when I’m alone
I say

She's not you…

Delores

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

All the pretty girls are busy
And all the handsome guys are drunk
Let’s go out tonight, Delores
We’re gonna have ourselves some fun

I’ve got money money in my pocket
And I’ve got bourbon on my mind
Let’s go out
We’re gonna have ourselves a time

Well your mother says I’m crazy
And your brother says I’m too old
You’ve got a father in the Navy
He says I don’t quite ‘fit the mold’

But I’ve got no work ‘till Sunday
And you’ve got that red dress on
Let’s go out
And we can chase away the dawn

You’ve got the world in the palm of your hand
Little girl, don’t you understand?
That life’s too short to miss a single dream

All the pretty girls are busy
And all the handsome guys are drunk
Let’s go out tonight, Delores
We can stay and watch the sun

Come-up across the mountains
So come down from your cold room
Let’s go out
You gotta get here soon

See the world’s in the palm of your hand
Little girl, don’t you understand?
That life’s too short to miss a single dream
And I don’t want to miss a thing

All the pretty girls, they’re busy
And all the handsome guys are drunk
Let’s go out tonight, Delores
You can be my only one

‘Cause you’ve got no work ‘till Monday
And I’ll play your favorite song
Let’s go out
And we can chase away the dawn

Let’s go out
And we can chase away the dawn

Just Waiting For Now

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I'm calling
But you're falling
Into that space you always go

I'm behind you, but I can't find you
Sometimes it's difficult to know

Just how to get yourself to stand when you should fall
But now it's getting better, we came through it all

All this time we were running ‘round
Waiting for things to hit the ground
All these years we were just waiting for now

You're running
But I'm coming back to find you and take you home

You're hurting, that's for certain
But you will not fight this alone

Sometimes it's easier to run away and hide
But if you just believe, the world will open wide

All this time we were running ‘round
Waiting for things to hit the ground
All these years we were just waiting for now

We were staring into the sun
We were never really sure of just what we would become
But now we can be who we are

You are much younger now than you have been before
Take a chance, this romance is waiting at your door

All this time we were running ‘round
Waiting for things to hit the ground
All these years we were just waiting for now

All this time we were falling apart
This is where the party starts
All these years we were just waiting for now

Excuse Me, But It's Not Supposed To End Like This

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I'm sorry for calling at such a late hour
But there's things that I've just got to say
The sound of this quiet is driving me mad
And I feel like just running away

You told me that all of this wasn't enough
You told me you're falling apart
Well I'm tired of being a burden to you
So when did this madness all start?

Well, excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
I'm sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Well excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
With us alone here, at the end of the day

I still see your face when I wake from my dreams
I still see your smile at my door
But I know down inside that that never will be
That you're gone from my life ever more

Well, excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
I'm sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Well excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
With us alone here, at the end of the day

And there's no way home to you
I'm so alone without you
Oh, it's true

The sound of your laughter is stuck in my soul
The shape of your face is still here
The look in your eyes when you entered a room
It's my memory that brings me to tears

I can hold it together, and keep from falling apart
I can put a brave face to my friends

But I'm dying and crying from this broken heart
No matter how I try to pretend

Well, excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
I'm sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Well excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
And there is nothing that'll make this okay

Well, excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
I'm sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Well excuse me, but it's not supposed to end like this
With us alone here, at the end of the day

I'm just alone here, at the end of the day

One Part Broken, Two Parts Blue

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

The taxi meter broke
Right on the street where we last spoke
I gave the driver twenty bucks just for his time

And so I walked the final blocks alone
As New York City traffic moaned
The images came rushing to my mind

‘Just forget it all,’ I said
But I thought some more instead

Paris, London, Tokyo
The bars, cigars and circus shows
A life in lights is lived sometimes in darkened, empty rooms

And songs that lovers hold so near
Are fashioned out of hopes and fears
And Scotch-taped from these faded tears come showroom shiny tunes

I can't forget it, if I tried
I've never been the one to hide

And there are lines on my face
And there are plans on my mind
I've so many complications now
I never had the the time

To say the things I wanted to to you
I'm one part broken, two parts blue

And there are lines on my face
And there are plans on my mind
I've so many complications now
I never had the the time

To say the things I wanted to to you
I'm one part broken
At least the words are spoken
I'm one part broken, two parts blue

Fighting For Your Love

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

You said you love me, but I think that you lied
‘Cause you just keep on pushing me aside
And I'm not so sure
That you are in this anymore

You say your love is just a minute away
But I ain't listening to a thing that you say
It's a no win game
And it's just driving me insane

You're a mixed-up girl in a paper world
Got your Vuitton purse full of plastic pearls
But I must admit, you have got me lit
I'm not walking away from this

You keep me guessing and running
You lead me on and give me nothing
But believe me I am coming
Cause I'm fighting for your love

I'm gonna show you that I matter
Just watch your defenses will shatter
My love'll hit you like hammer
Cause I'm fighting for
Fighting for your love

You tell me all these things to keep me to stay
You hold me closer then you push me away
There's a doctor you should see
About your split personality

So many friends on your Facebook page
I don't think they're all from your grammar school days
You're playing me like I'm a fool
But honey I am on to you

You're a perfect mess, in your smart silk dress
Like a two bit thief in his Sunday best
But I'm telling you, this is far from through
Cause I'm coming after you

You keep me guessing and running
You lead me on and give me nothing
But believe me I am coming
Cause I'm fighting for your love

I'm gonna show you that I matter
Just watch your defenses will shatter
My love'll hit you like hammer
Cause I'm fighting for
Fighting for your love

If You're Here

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

There's a war to the left
There's a storm to the right
And I'm not sure if I'll make it through the night
But I know, yes I know
If you're here I'll be just fine

There are clouds up ahead
There is danger in sight
I'm too tired to talk about it
Too spent to fight
But I know, yes I know
If you're here I'll be just fine

I lost all my direction
I couldn't find my way
When everything's in pieces
Still you stay, still you stay

There's the moon to the left
Stars to the right
But you're the only one that shines for me tonight
'Cause I know, yes I know
If you're here I'll be just fine

I lost my sense of purpose
Lost my faith along the way
Somehow you always save me
You find a way, you find a way

There's the moon to the left
Stars to the right
But nothing in this world has ever shines so bright
‘Cause I know, yes I know
If you're here I'll be just fine
Now I know, yes I know
If you're here I'll be just fine

Spirits Of The Soul

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Memories are stalking me it seems
I hear your voice, and it’s wrapped around this crazy dream
I hit the docks. I’m in your favorite place
It’s nothing that this whiskey can erase

Promises and words I never said
Empty hallways frame this lonely bed
The sky still goes that perfect blue that thrilled you
Your memory reminds me I’m a fool, and I’m

Taken down by the spirits of the soul
The blues are fresh, but the music is old
I’ve been found by these spirits of the soul
I’m overcome
It’s all been done before

The music’s silent, but I still hear every word
Of that song, playing on. How it haunts me all night long
Like a soundtrack to a dream that never was
A eulogy to faded, broken love

And for a moment you are standing close to me
I can tell, it’s your smell. And I recognize the way you breathe
But then I turn to find it’s just the churning city
The ghost of you still gets the best of me, and I’m

Taken down by the spirits of the soul
The blues are fresh, but the music is old
I’ve been found by these spirits of the soul
I’m overcome
It’s all been done before

Souvenirs and Technicolor memories
Keep watching over me
I think it’s time I let them be
But everywhere I go I am reminded of my yesterdays
I tried a thousand ways, but I’m still torn

Taken down by the spirits of the soul
The blues are fresh, but the music is old
I’ve been found by these spirits of the soul
I’m overcome
It’s all been done before

Run Away

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I’m gonna run away
I’m gonna run away
I’m gonna run away, and find you
I’m gonna run away

I’m gonna run away
Driving down this lonesome freeway
I’m gonna run away
You’ve been away for far too long
I’m gonna run away
This city isn’t going my way
I’m gonna run away
I guess that I was wrong

Yellow lines and blinding lights
They are guiding me tonight
I’m waiting for your exit sign
On this long and lonely ride

I’m gonna run away
Shadows falling on this freeway
I’m gonna run away
Playing with my tired eyes
I’m gonna run away
All the reasons why I should have stayed
I’m gonna run away
Are fading in the night

These memories in my mind
I’ve been keeping them inside
As the cars go flashing by
On this long and lonely ride

I’m gonna run away
Driving down this lonesome freeway
I’m gonna run away
You’ve been away for far too long
I’m gonna run away
This City isn’t going my way
I’m gonna run away
I guess that I was wrong

I’m gonna run away…
