Cat Power

I know (I know) you belong
To somebody new
But tonight
You belong to me

Although (although) we're apart
You are a part of my heart
But tonight
You belong to me

Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream in
The moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight
You belong to me

But tonight
You belong
To me

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honour
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Me and my baby, we had a big fight
We ended our romance the same night
In an angry mood, he walked out the door
I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show

Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart
And make him sorry that we are apart

I don't know if taking requests is part of your show
Do me this favour and I'll love you forever
Many romances have been saved by your sound
You've touched so many lovers, so many times

Yes, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know our life's in misery
Will you sing a song that will touch his heart?
And make him sorry that we are apart

"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"

Hey, Aretha, sing one for me
Let him know I’m as miserable as a woman can be
Sing a song that will touch his heart
So he’ll be sorry that we are apart

"Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You"
And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You"

Blue, songs are like tatoos
You know I've been to see before
Crown and anchor me,
Or let me sail away

Blue, there is a song for you
Ink on a pin,
Underneath the skin,
An empty space to fill in

Well, there's so many sinking
Now you gotta keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

Everybody's saying that
Hell's the hippest way to go
Well, I don't think so, but I'll take a look around it, though
Blue, I love you.

Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your from me
(yudha)

Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine
Don't explain

My love, my love, my love, don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain

You know that I love you, but look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours

I know I hear folks ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, right now it doesn't matter
You're here with me, sit down, have a seat
It's your turn to feel the pain
It's your turn to weep
Don't explain

Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
I'm gonna escape out your steel
Don't explain
Don't explain

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I seem to think that I know I'm gonna make it through
They look at me and frown
They drove me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe

They show me to the door
They said “don't come back no more
“We don't like the way you think you do”
So I walked out on my own
One thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe
(I believe in you)

I believe in you even through the all tears and laughter
I believe in you even though we're apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
And when the night is disappearing
This feeling will still be here in my heart

Please don't let me drift too far
Keep me safe and sane where you are
So I can always be renewed
And what you've given me here today
Is worth everything I could pay
No matter what everyone will say
'Cause I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe in you

I believe in you when we've had no time together
I believe in you when white turns to black
I believe in you even though we'll all be outnumbered
Oh, the earth will be shakin'
And friends will be forsaken
Please, we can't go back
I believe in you

I lost someone
A million to one
Ten thousand people
Under my false

Someone, the one, my one
The only one
That's the someone
The someone
The only one
That someone
That I lost

Nothing but a stranger
Come on home to me
I'm so weak on my knees
Help me, help me please
Please, please
Good God almighty I love you

I lost someone
One trillion to one
A million people
Under the big old sun I see
My one on the street
Looking like a bum
That's my one
That's my someone
He's the one
He's
Help that one

He's nothing but a stranger
Bring him home to me
He's so weak on both his bended knees
Can you help me? Help me please
Gee whiz, I miss the one that I need
I lost someone

Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true, 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad, sad zoo
Oh, hidy-hidy-hiding, whatcha trying to prove?
By hidy-hidy-hiding
You're not worth a thing

Sew your fortunes on a string
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed and everything
And you will be
In a very sad, sad zoo

I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see you
How selfish of you
To believe in all the meaning of all the bad dreaming

Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
Metal heart, you're not hiding
Metal heart, you're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing
You're not worth a thing

Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York

These vagabond shoes
Are longin' to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
To find I'm cream of the crop and top of the heap

These little-town blues
Are meltin' away
I'll make a brand-new start of it
Oh, in New York

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
New York
It's up to you
New York

I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh, baby, it``s alright to fail

Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice from your throat
But oh, baby, it``s alright to fail

Tell me, don``t leave
Tell me, tell me

Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you``ve got something to say
Oh, baby, please don``t let me down

Tell me, don``t leave
Tell me, tell me

The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh, baby, it``s alright to fail
Oh, baby, it``s alright to fail

Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk.
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape,
But deep inside his heart
I know he can't escape.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells,
Speaking to some French girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine.
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that,
But then again, there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks,
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked.
But me, I expected it to happen,
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun,
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son.
An' me, I nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide.
You see, you're just like me,
I hope you're satisfied."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the rainman gave me two cures,
Then he said, "Jump right in."
The one was Texas medicine,
And the other was just railroad gin.
Like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind,
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon,
Where he can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon.
An' I say, "Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you really want."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
And When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

O she may be weary
'Cause you know young girls
We do get weary
Things we know we never gonna get

But she's there waiting without them
Please try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon

Heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

Dream
When I feel blue in the night
When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
I have to dream

Better call the ships, they been caught sailing
Better call the captain, he's been caught stealing
Better call the porter man, he's been caught leaving
Better call all the guys on the deck; they've been caught with no feeling
Better call the fisherman, cause they're coming on land
Better call the head nurse, wrap us up, to throw us in the dark
Better call with some resistance, better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence, that way you feel nothing at all
Better call on evolution, better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick

Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright
And you were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around
Cuz they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn't want to play
And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
Them back for all that shit on stage
But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cuz you simply deserve the best
And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn't mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don't blame you

They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway

I don't blame you

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not comin' back
I will sleep eternally

But I don't want no heavy diamonds
No pearls to crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me

Captain has a treasure
Says I hold the key
An old man groans
And sweet wind blows
Songs of you and me

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not comin' back
I will sleep eternally

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not comin' back
I will sleep eternally

But I don't want no heavy diamonds
No pearls to crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me

Captain has a treasure
Says I hold the key
An old man groans
And sweet wind blows
Songs of you and me

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not comin' back
I will sleep eternally

Went to the doctor
I said doctor please
What do you do when your true love leaves
Said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

I went to the whipper whale
I said whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said I only have one trick I got up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my father
I said daddy, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

So I went to the whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said I only have bout one trick I got up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me

I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

Went to my mother
I said mama, please
What did you do when your true love leaves
She said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you

You make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song

After it all
When it's said and done
Will you come back to me
Tell me that it
Never was up to you or up to me

When you stand up so tall
With your back to me up against the wall
You make demands with your angry hands
You say you're sorry that you
Didn't mean to scream you say
You're back again that you still love me
And that you never meant what you said to me
Should I believe what you're telling me

To wait for you

Could we, take a walk
Could we, have a talk alone
In the afternoon

Could we, have a seat
Why, yes, be my guest
You can hold my hand

What a dream, in the grass
We kissed, fell in love too fast, too soon
Love full bloom

Should we get up, let's wake up
Let's get dressed, I'll let you walk me up the street
Back home

Thank you, it was great
Let's make another date
Real soon
In the afternoon

Could we, take a walk
Could we, have a talk alone
In the afternoon

Could we, have a seat
Why, yes, be my guest
You can hold my hand

What a dream, in the grass
We kissed, fell in love too fast, too soon
Love full bloom

Should we get up, let's wake up
Let's get dressed, I'll let you walk me up the street
Back home

Thank you, it was great
Let's make another date
Real soon
In the afternoon

All that is left is an empty shell
Of my heart that is crushed
I don't never wanna see
What my mind has seen
When you loved me

Every night, every night alone with you
Every night, alone now
When she sits on your lap
Try to pretend to laugh
When she does stupid things
Just like I used to do
Do not hate her
Don't you even try
For to leave her is to love her
The same as you and I
I love you
And I miss you too
I really do love you
And I really do miss you too

But I don't know you
And I don't need you
And I don't want you anymore

Every night, every night alone with you
Every night, alone now
