I cant control this flesh and blood Thats wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me, like a river Into the great unknown I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues And his promise made was never clear It just carved itself in me All I saw was frost inside my head On the night he said to me Someday, well live like horses Free rein from your old, iron fences Theres more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and well live like horses Were the victims of the heartbreak That kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net I stood in line to join the trial One more customer of fate Claimed a spoke in the wheel of a wagon train On the road to the golden gate On the flat, dry desert, I jumped ship It just made sense to me Ive spent too long in the belly of the beast And now, I shall be free Someday, well live like horses Free rein from your old, iron fences Theres more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and well live like horses someday Free rein from your old, iron fences Theres more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls, and well live like horses

Theres a fly in the window, a dog in the yard And a year since I saw you Theres a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters My bills and demands I keep too Well, I cant help thinking about the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days, wed lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can I ever get it together without a wife in line? To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine Round a tree in the summer, a fire in the fall Flat out when they couldnt stand The bottle went round like a woman down south Passed on from hand to hand Elderberry wine

I never dreamed I could cry so hard That aint like a man I could fly like a bird some days Had a place where I could land I could have sworn we were all locked in Aint that what you said? I never knew it could hurt so bad When the power of love is dead But giving into the nighttime Aint no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Theres a light, where the darkness ends Touch me now and let me see again Rock me now in your gentle healing hands I never knew love like poison That burned like a fire All I ever wanted was a reason To drown in your eyes I never knew sleep so restless Empty arms so cold Thats not the way its supposed to be It aint the spell that I was sold But giving into the nighttime Aint no cure for the pain You got to wade into the water You got to learn to live again And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Theres a light, where the darkness ends Touch me now and let me see again Rock me now in your gentle healing hands But giving into the nighttime Aint no cure for the pain You got to wade into the water You got to learn to live again And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Theres a light, where the darkness ends Touch me now and let me see again Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Theres a light, where the darkness ends Touch me now and let me see again Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Rock me now And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Theres a light, where the darkness ends Touch me now and let me see again Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Rock me now...

Like a corn in a field I cut you down I threw the last punch too hard After years of going steady, well I thought that it was time To throw in my hand for a new set of cards And I cant take you dancing out on the weekend I figured wed painted too much of this town And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon And I knew then I had lost what should have been found I knew then I had lost what should have been found And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford Im low as a paid assassin is You know Im cold as a hired sword Im so ashamed cant we patch it up You know I cant think straight no more You make me feel like a bullet honey in the gun of Robert Ford Like a child when his toys been stepped on Thats how it all seemed to me I burst the bubble that both of us lived in And Im damned if Ill ever get rid of this guilt that I feel And if looks could kill then Id be a dead man Your friends and mine dont call no more Hell, I thought it was best but now I feel branded Breaking ups sometimes like breaking the law

You figured it out, the trick to the game You made the fires bloom and got me so drawn to the flames that I changed It’s true, midnight and you, you’re the same You come to me once a day And every time that I ask you why, you say cos you know just what it takes So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder You found a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you You figured it out didn’t you? I felt you re-write the rules I felt every inch of the flames burn your name It’s true, the oceans and me, we’re the same. We both come in waves, but you You learned how to sail these blues until they welcome you and you say you know just what it takes So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you When I’m at my limit, when I’m at the point where I might say “Gotta pull my heart out, I need to keep some space. Gotta keep some distance” You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you You work me hard in the days till I forget a world without you. You found a way to work that heartbreak feeling to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you When I’m at my limit, when I’m at the point where I might say “Gotta pull my heart out, I need to keep some space. Gotta keep some distance” You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you

When Eminem and I did Stan at the Grammys in 2001, we got together to rehearse out in the Valley. We had never met or really spoken, so I was a little intimidated. When we started to do the song and Eminem made his entrance, I got goose bumps, the likes of which I have not felt since I first saw Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. Eminem was that good. I just thought, Fuck, this man is amazing. There are very few performers who can grab you like that the first time — only the greats. Eminem is a true poet of his time, someone well be talking about for decades to come. He tells stories in such a powerful and distinctive way. As a lyricist, hes one of the best ever. Eminem does for his audience what Dylan did for his: He writes how he feels. His anger, vulnerability and humor come out. Thats why we look forward to listening to Eminems lyrics and finding out where the hell hes headed next. Eminem lives, sleeps and breathes music — hes a bit like me in that respect. Hes pretty much a recluse. I think hes enthralled with what hes doing; hes intimately involved with his art. Theres a mystique about him. From the start, I have always admired Eminems thinking. Thats the reason I wanted to appear on the Grammys with him when I was asked, despite all the nonsense talked about his being homophobic and crap like that. The Boy Georges of the world all got up in a twist about it. If they didnt have the intelligence to see his intelligence, that was their problem. Eminem has the balls to say what he feels and to make offensive things funny. Thats very necessary today, when irony is becoming a lost art. Artists like Eminem who use their free speech to get a point across are vitally important. There just arent many people in the world with balls that big and talent that awesome.

I dont know why I just know I do I just cant explain In this language that I use Something leaves me speechless Each time that you approach Each time you glide right through me As if I was a ghost If I only could tell you If you only would listen Ive got a line or two to use on you Ive got a romance we could christen And theres a word in Spanish I dont understand But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish If you cant comprehend Read it in my eyes If you dont understand its love In a thin disguise And what it takes to move you Each time that you resist Is more than just a pretty face To prove that I exist When manners make no difference And my gifts all lay undone I trade my accent in on chance And fall back on a foreign tongue

As I lay dreaming in my bed Across the great divide I thought I heard the trawler boats Returning on the tide And in this vision of my home The shingle beach did ring I saw the lights along the pier That made my senses sing Oh oh Grimsby, a thousand delights Couldnt match the sweet sights Of my Grimsby Oh England youre fair But theres none to compare with my Grimsby Through nights of mad youth I have loved every sluice in your harbor And in your wild sands from boyhood to man Strangers have found themselves fathers Take me back you rustic town I miss your magic charm Just to smell your candy floss Or drink in the Skinners Arms No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty Of your pies and peas I want to ride your fairground Take air along the quay

All, all in the name of being somebody You can tell me anything, something wrong or right Just pick me up and get me out of here, while Ive still got an appetite Tell me something funny, so good I want to hear it twice Just fill me up with rhythm and a beat, and take me into the night Cause I dont get to sleep these days Even when I do behave No cigarettes but in my own little way I push to the limit of the night and day And all, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about Seems we dont know anything about walking in a straight line Weave and weave through all these streets, till choice has left us almost blind To how we used to make decisions with instinct and with time Now if I blink I miss the only second I get to catch anothers eye So I dont go to sleep these days Cause no ones got the time to waste We call it being young and say That its fun when we really wanna walk away But its all, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name (All in the name, all in the name All in the name, all in the name) All, all in the name (All in the name, all in the name All in the name, all in the name) Ill Tell you something funny I never found, one thing, nobody in the crowd Who could turn me on like I wish they would But keep on pushing just in case they could Its all, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about All, all in the name of being somebody That somebody cares about

Someday out of the blue In a crowded street Or a deserted square Ill turn and Ill see you As if our love were new Someday we can start again someday soon Here comes the night Here come the memories Lost in your arms Down in the foreign fields Not so long ago Seems like eternity Those sweet afternoons Still capture me Someday out of the blue In a crowded street Or a deserted square Ill turn and Ill see you As if our love were new Someday we can start again someday soon I still believe I still put faith in us We had it all And watched it slip away Where are we now? Not where we want to be Those hot afternoons Still follow me Someday out of the blue Maybe years from now Or tomorrow night Ill turn and Ill see you As if we always knew Someday we would live again someday soon I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us Here comes the night Here come the memories Lost in your arms Down in the foreign fields Not so long ago Seems like eternity Those sweet afternoons Still capture me Someday out of the blue Maybe years from now Or tomorrow night Ill turn and Ill see you As if we always knew Someday we would live again someday soon Someday out of the blue In a crowded street Or a deserted square Ill turn and Ill see you As if our love were new Someday we can start again someday soon I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us I still believe, I still put faith in us

I dont want to wake you But Id like to tell you that I love you That the candlelight fell like a crescent Upon your feather pillow For theres more ways than one And the ways of the world are a blessing For when Pinkys dreaming She owes the world nothing And her silence keeps us guessing Pinkys as perfect as the Fourth of July Quilted and timeless, seldom denied The trial and the error of my master plan Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gamblers hands You dont want to tell me But somehow youve guessed that I know Oh when dawn came this morning You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul For theres toast and honey And theres breakfast in bed on a tray Oh its ten below zero And were about to abandon our plans for the day

There isnt much I havent shared With you along the road And through it all thered always be Tomorrows episode Suddenly that isnt true Theres another avenue Beckoning, the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Whos to say whos right or wrong Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been, will ever be as one What is done hath been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what Ill lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Suddenly that isnt true Theres another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye

The seadogs have all sailed their ships Into the docks of dawn While the sirens sit and comb their hair And twiddle with their thumbs Oh Thor above the mountain Look down upon your children This is their heaven where theyre told To bring their galleons Seek you find your place with me Men of iron, men of steel Only the brave hear the hammers ring In the courts of the Queens, in the halls of the Kings You can come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala Come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala Theres long boats in the harbor Which arrive there every hour With the souls of the heroes Whose blood lies on the flowers And this heaven is the home Of every man who loves his sword And he uses it for freedom To preach the word of Thor Seek you find your place with me Men of iron, men of steel Only the brave hear the hammers ring In the courts of the Queens, in the halls of the Kings You can come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala Come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala Val-hala Val-hala Val-hala

Were caught up in a web, you and I Since Crystal came between us The knots of friendship seem to be untied And it hurts me most to cheat and thats no lie She can swing us both forever In the long run shes the one who must decide And if she leaves me handle her with care Dont hurt little Crystal And if she calls you long distance just be there Oh Crystal The world is your oyster, youre a pearl But hes a jewel and my friend Im sure that in the end, Crystal youll be his little girl Oh Crystal Youre stronger than me but Im sure That the fight would fall to no one The cold hard truth is stronger than us all And it breaks my heart to see us go this far Were just captives in our separate cells And without her theres no peace behind these bars Oh Crystal

You are my weakness You are my friend Nothing I have in the world Makes better sense Cause Im the fish and youre the sea When were together Or when were apart Theres never a space in-between The beat of our hearts Cause Im the apple and youre the tree One day at a time Is all we do One day at a time Is good for you, you, you You are my woman I am your man Nothing else matters at all Now I understand That Im the door and youre the key And every morning I wake in your smile Feeling your breath on my face And the love in your eyes Cause youre the honey and I am the bee One day at a time Is all we do One day at a time Is good for you, you, you One day at a time Is all we do One day at a time Is good for you, you, you

Have you ever lived in a cage Where you live to be whipped and be tamed? For Ive never loved in a cage Or talked to a friend or just waved Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Well, I walk while they talk about virtue Just raised on my back legs and snarled Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion And tell dirty jokes as he died Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha But Im damned when I really care there For the cellars the room in your lives Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey And close the cage doors on your life Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Well I pray while you bathe in bad water Sing songs that I learnt as a boy Then breaks all the bones in my body On the bars you can never destroy Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Have you ever lived in a cage Where you live to be whipped and be tamed? For Ive never loved in a cage Or talked to a friend or just waved Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Ah-ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ha Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh, ah-ha Oh-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh, ah-ha

Im sorry for everything I said And for anything, I forgot to say, too When things get so complicated I stumble, at best, muddle through I wish that our lives could be simple I dont want the world, only you I wish I could tell you this face to face But theres never the time, never the place So this letter will have to do I love you

Sober in the morning light Things look so much different To how they looked last night A pale face pressed to an unmade bed Like flags of many nations flying high above her head The cellophane still on the flowers The telegram still in her hand As whispers circulate all day Their back-stage baby princess passed away And you can cage the songbird But you cant make her sing And you can trap the free bird But youll have to clip her wings Because shell soar like a hawk when she flies But shell dive like an eagle when she dies Promises of no more lies Fell flat upon an empty stage Before the audience arrived A return in time to the cheaper seats She never knew what lay beneath Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets Let down before the final curtain A shallow heart that left her cold She left in rouge upon the mirror A circled kiss to the faithful fans whod miss her

The more I learn, the more I see The less the world impassions me The hungry heart, the roving eye Have come to rest, do not apply The frantic chase, the crazy ride The thrill has gone, I step aside Id believe in anything were it not for you Showing me by just existing only this is true I love you I love you Without question, I love you Id believe in anything were it not for you Showing me by just existing only this is true Oh, I love you I love you Without question, I love you

Feet are feeling light Head on out to see the sights Aint life a many splendored thing? Ducking up and down All these crazy sights and sounds Bounce around like puppets on a string Never gonna find, anything to change my mind Famous last lines of a fool Just when you think Youre a chain with just one link Something comes to tip you off your stool Hello hello Hello hello My my my, what have we here? What a surprise What a surprise! Hello, Hello Hello, Hello Im not alone its good to know Someones out threr dropped say hello Hello! Do a dizzy dance Twirl around and take a chance Nothings easy Nothing comes for free Sniffing on a flower Run through an autumn shower Bumping into someone else like me Hello hello Hello hello My my my, what have we here? What a surprise What a surprise! Hello, Hello Hello, Hello Im not alone its good to know Someones out there to say hello Hello! And I could fly on the back of a bird I could shake all the leaves from a tree If theres a quest Im a Knight Wheres theres wrong Ill do right Two is better than the one I used to be Hello hello Hello hello My my my, what have we here? What a surprise What a surprise! Hello, Hello Hello, Hello Im not alone its good to know Someones out there to say hello Hello, Hello Hello, Hello Im not alone its good to know Someones out there to say hello Hello Hello Hello Hello

This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I wont even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I wont lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that loves an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died Its easy, its easy Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Tender in his manner and myself consolation All I ever wanted and Im throwing it away Its easy, its easy as life All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the content of the familiar kind of start Its easy, its easy And though Ill think about him until the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above Its easy, its easy, its easy

The words I have to say May well be simple, but theyre true Until you give your love Theres nothing more that we can do Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No one could offer you more Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen?

Ah-ooh Ah-ooh I hardly think Im qualified To come across all sanctified I just dont cut it with the cherubim Ow There again, theyre on their knees Being worshipped is a breeze Which rather suits us in the interim The interim, the interim, thats me and them Oh, my God Its tough to be a God Tread where mortals have not trod Be deified when really, youre a sham Be an object of devotion Be the subject of psalms Its a rather touching notion All those prayеrs and those salaams And who am I to bridle If Im forced to bе an idol? If they say that Im a God Thats what I am Whats more if we dont comply With the locals wishes? I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed So lets be Gods, the perks are great Yeah, El Dorado on our plate Local feeling should not be rebuffed No, my friend Its tough to be a God But if you get the peoples nod Count your blessings, keep em sweet Thats our advice Be a symbol of perfection Be a legend, be a cult Take their praise, take the collection As the multitudes exalt Don a supernatural habit Wed be crazy not to grab it So sign up two new Gods for paradise Paradise

They used to say that boys are tough as nails In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail Now things have changed, I feel so old Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals I was always there in the thick of things I always had the heart of every woman on a string The danger zone shone from my eyes It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile Its not the night reaching in and touching me Its just that breaking hearts aint what it used to be It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me And breaking hearts aint what it used to be Its not the light shining in and catching me Its just that breaking hearts aint what it used to be But time has come and cast a spell on me And breaking hearts aint what it used to be And now I know what lonely means I used to give so little and gain everything The darkest part of every day Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away Cant say I blame them all for being hurt After all I treated each and every one like dirt Who wants a heart thats never home I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone

Suntanned, windblown Honeymooners at last alone Feelin far above par Oh, how lucky we are While I give to you and you give to me True love, true love So on and on, it will always be True love, true love For you and I have a guardian angel On high with nothin to do But to give to you as you give to me Love, forever true Love, forever true For you and I have a guardian angel On high with nothin to do But to give to you as you give to me Love, forever true Love, forever true Give me your true love, oh yeah True love, true love Got to give me your true love Oh yeah, oh yeah True love, true love For you and I have a guardian angel On high with nothin to do But to give to you as you give to me Love, forever true Love, forever true Love, forever true love

He said I want to grow up And look like Robert Mitchum And I hope that when Im gone Therell be some say that I miss him He must have been romantic He must have sensed adventure And I feel the steel of his strong will In the frame around his picture And hes one more arrow flying through the air One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere Where the days and nights blend into one And he can always feel the sun Through the soft brown earth that holds him Forever always young He could have been a boxer But the fight game seemed so dirty We argued once he knocked me down And he cried when he thought hed hurt me Strictly from the old school He was quiet about his pain And if one in ten could be that brave I would never hate again One more arrow Forever always young

Torn from their families Mothers go hungry To feed their children But children go hungry Theres so many big men Theyre out making millions When povertys profits Just blame the children If theres a God in heaven Whats he waiting for? If he cant hear the children Then he must see the war But it seems to me That he leads his lambs To the slaughter house And not the promised land Dying for causes They dont understand Weve been taking their futures Right out of their hands They need the handouts To hold back the tears Theres so many crying But so few that hear If theres a God in heaven Well, whats he waiting for?
