Fiona Apple - Every Single Night

Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white-flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
That’s when the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can’t fit the feelins in
Every single night’s alright with my brain

What’d I say to her
What’d I say it to her
What does she think of me
That i’m not what I ought to be
That i’m what I try not to be
It’s got to be somebody elese’s fault
I can’t get caught
If what I am is what I am, cause I does what I does
Then brother, get back, cause my breast’s gonna bust open
The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk yoke and
I just made a meal for us both to choke on
Every single night’s a fight with my brain

I just want to feel everything

So i’m gonna try to be still now
Gonna renounce the mill a little while and
If we had a double-king-sized bed
We could move in it and i’d soon forget
That what I am is what I am cause I does what I does
And maybe i’d relax, let my breast shot bust open
My heart’s made of parts of all that surround me
And that’s why the devil just can’t get around me
Every single night’s alright, every single night’s a fight
And every single fight’s alright with my brain

I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything

joni mitchell//a case of you

Just before our love got lost you said
“I am as constant as a northern star.”
And I said,”Constantly in the darkness
Where’s that at?
If you want me I’ll be in the bar.”

“On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet.

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid

I remember that time you told me, you said
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine cause
part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
“Go to him, stay with him if you can
Bbut be prepared to bleed”

But you are in my blood, you’re my holy wine
You’re so bitter, so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, oh darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

The Smiths // There is a Light That Never Goes Out

Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see lights
Driving in your car
Oh please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home
It’s their home
And I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought “Oh God, my chance has come at last”
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Oh, I haven’t got one

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out…
