These aren't exactly stuck in my head, nor do they strike a particular chord or remind me of someone specific, they just seem to speak to me a bit today...
Is there nothing I can say Nothing I can do To change your mind I'm so in love with you You're too deep in You can't get out You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house Yeah, baby, I'm crying over you
Don't you know promises were never made to keep? Just like the night, dissolve in sleep I'll be your savior, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue I'll come to your emotional rescue
Yeah, the other night, crying Crying baby, yeah I'm crying Yeah I'm like a child baby I'm like a child baby Child yeah, I'm like a child, like a child Like a child
You think you're one of a special breed You think that you're his pet Pekinese I'll be your savior, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue I'll come to your emotional rescue
I was dreaming last night Last night I was dreaming How you'd be mine, but I was crying Like a child, yeah, I was crying Crying like a child You will be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine You could be mine, could be mine Be mine, all mine
I come to you, so silent in the night So stealthy, so animal quiet I'll be your savior, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue I'll come to your emotional rescue
Yeah, you should be mine, mine, whew Yes, you could be mine Tonight and every night I will be your knight in shining armour Coming to your emotional rescue You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine I will be your knight in shining armour Riding across the desert on a fine Arab charger ~ "Emotional Rescue" by The Rolling Stones

Never had nothing No one to care That's why I seem to have More than my share I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way
When I hurt his feelings Once in a while His only answer is one little smile I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way
I can see no other way And no better plan End it all and let him go To some better gal But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me West
Though he loves to work And slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off If I went away But why should I leave him Why should I go He'd be unhappy without me I know I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way

So you think the girl is crazy To eat up your lies like it's good (Your lies like apple pie) (She don't even cry) She is not a fool She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to To love you And as you take to the wind (to the wind again she breaks down) And as she breaks down within (within, within)
She waits for you patiently Hopin' that someday you'll see all she really wants to be Is yours and your s alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do < Don't you know> you're breakin' the child in two What do you want the girl to do All she really wants is you She knows what you are Still she'll be your queen if you let her (Just say the word today) Now and then you'll promise All the way-out things you're goin' to get her (You will see, you will see) (You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago) 'Cause maybe she knows better As she watched you come and go (all you'll show) And as she watched your promises erode What do you want the girl to do Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two What do you want the girl to do Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two

Somewhere theres music How faint the tune Somewhere theres heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you
Somewhere theres music How near, how far Somewhere theres heaven Its where you are The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
Somewhere theres music How faint the tune Somewhere theres heaven How high the moon The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon

Happens all the time Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind Its going to happen - happen - happens all the time Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind
Best story I ever heard The truth about fat Mr X and the young girl See how far he'll let you go Before he persuades you when you're walking home
Happens all the time ...
Watching your friends passing by Going to sleep without blinking a blue eye Too slow to notice what's wrong Two faced to you when you're taking them on
Happens all the time ...
Everything goes when you're dead Everything empties from what was in your head No point in waiting today Stupid revenge is what's making you stay
Its going to happen - happen - till your change your mind

You've been so kind and generous I don't know how you keep on giving For your kindness I'm in debt to you For your selflessness, my admiration And for everything you've done
You know I'm bound... I'm bound to thank you for it
You've been so kind and generous I don't know how you keep on giving For your kindness I'm in debt to you And I never could have come this far without you So for everything you've done
You know I'm bound... I'm bound to thank you for it
I want to thank you For so many gifts You gave with love and tenderness I want to thank you
I want to thank you For your generosity The love and the honesty That you gave me
I want to thank you Show my gratitude My love and my respect for you I want to thank you
I want to...
Thank you

Sittin' in the wood alone, On silver tree that turned to stone - Branches growin' overhead; Make your house and feather bed. Shiny beak and shiny eyes, Join the winter paradise. Singin' to the settin' sun; Prayin' for the day that's done; Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow: fallin' down - down - Down - down... If you want to know his heart, Listen... Listen to the bluebird sing... If I had a voice like thine - Melody like summer wine - From sunshine islands, I would bring Music to the newborn king. Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow: fallin' down - down - Down - down... If you want to know his heart, Listen... Listen to the bluebird sing...
Growin' qui'ter as you watch the snow: fallin' down - down - Down - down... If you want to know his heart, Listen... Listen to the bluebird sing...

so i'll wait for you where i always wait behind the signs that sell the news i'll watch for you like yesterday and hope for you one day that once spent out on me and up 'til late i search for you your hat pushed straight away from me your measured step heads up you win always too late
oh if i could just once catch your eye invisible against the words that hold you down in solitude and never let you go the way that every time my eyes just close like lids of wooden men in file i put you under rainy day your hat's all off and i'm gone away...
so i'll wait for you where i always wait behind the signs that sell the news and i'll watch for you like yesterday and hope for you one day that once spent out on me and up 'til late i search for you your hat pushed straight away from me your measured step heads up you win always too late

But of course you know I love you Or what else am I here for Only you not face to face But side by side for evermore And I need to be here with you For without you what am i Just another fool out searching For some heaven in the sky Take me closer to believing Take me forward lead me on Through collision and confusion While theres life beneath the sun You are the reason I continue So near for so long So close yet so far away

Got a feelin' that I'm wastin' time on you babe Got a feelin' that you've been untrue I got a feelin' that you're stealin' All the love I thought I was givin' to you Baby it's true
Got a feelin' that you're playin' some game with me babe Got a feelin' that you just can't see If you're entertainin' any thought that you're gainin' By causin' me all of this pain and makin' me blue The joke's on you
When I get to feelin' that you're stealin' love And I don't know why It makes me so discouraged I finally get the courage not to cry babe Or even try babe
Got a feelin' that I'm wastin' time on you babe Got a feelin' that you've been untrue I got a feelin' that you're stealin' All the love I thought I was givin' to you Baby it's true, the joke's on you Baby it's true, the joke's on you

Seven trees Bearin strange fruit Blood on the leaves And blood at the roots Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hangin From the poplar trees Pastoral scene Of the gallant south Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh Then the sudden smell Of burnin flesh Here is a fruit For the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter crop
Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter cry.
