LYRICS Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers? Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain? Everything you do, everywhere you go now Everything you touch, everything you feel Everything you see, everything you know now Everything you do, you do it for your lady love Your lady love, your lady love, your lady love Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic? Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game Everything you do, everywhere you go now Everything you touch, everything you feel Everything you see, everything you know now Everything you do, you do it for your lady Everything you do, you do it for your lady love Your lady love, your lady love, your lady love Fools in love, they think they're heroes 'Cause they get to feel more pain I say fools in love are zeros I should know I should know because this fool's in love again Fools in love, gently hold each other's hands forever Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb Everything you do, everywhere you go now Everything you touch, everything you feel Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady love Your lady love, your lady love, your lady love Fools in love, they think they're heroes 'Cause they get to feel more pain I say fools in love are zeros I should know I should know because this fool's in love again Fools in love, they think they're heroes 'Cause they get to feel more pain I say fools in love are zeros I should know

LYRICS Your mind and your experience call to me You have lived and your intelligence is sexy I want to know what you got to say I want to know what you got to say I want to know what you got to say I can tell you taste like the sky 'cause you look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You think like a whip on a horse's back Stretched out to the limit you make it crack Send that horse round and round the track I want to know what you got to say I want to know what you got to say I want to know what you got to say I can tell you taste like the sky 'cause you look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain You look like rain

How 03:16
LYRICS: I didn't come this far For you to make this hard for me And now you want to ask me "how"? It's like how does your heart beat, why do you breathe? How does your heart beat and why do you breathe? Why did you come here? You weren't invited You were on the outside, stay on the outside And now you want to ask me "why"? It's like how does your heart beat and how do you cry? How does your heart beat? And there are some things that I'd like to figure out There are some things that I can do without You and your letters that go on forever You and the people that were never friends Never friends, never friends With all the things that you could be You never could learn how to be me And now you want to ask me "how"? It's like how does your heart beat, why do you breathe? How does your heart beat, why do you breathe?

"Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you do it And I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you" Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you" You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You lost and lonely You Just like heaven

LYRICS: Who wants to be right as rain It's better when something is wrong You get excitement in your bones And everything you do's a game When night comes and you're on your own You can say "I chose to be alone" Who wants to be right as rain It's harder when you're on top 'Cause when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired There ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love Who wants to be riding high When you'll just crumble back on down You give up everything you are And even then you don't get far They make believe that everything Is exactly what it seems But at least when you're at your worst You know how to feel things See when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired There ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love Go ahead and steal my heart To make me cry again 'Cause it will never hurt As much as it did then When we were both right And no one had blame But now I give up On this endless game 'Cause who wants to be right as rain It's better when something is wrong I get excitement in my bones Even though everything's a strain When night comes and I'm on my own You should know I chose to be alone Who wants to be right as rain It's harder when you're on top 'Cause when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired There ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of... There ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love

Nowhere Warm 03:46
LYRICS I go nowhere high Go nowhere warm Until I see your smile and feel your calm And I lick a dime I crave for you boy You're like a parachute descending from the sky And I'm sure you're on your way Yes I'm sure you're on the road I go nowhere high Go nowhere warm Until you're by my side Your hand in mine And I've always known You're like a feather You go where wind and fire melt together And I'm sure you're on your way Yes I'm sure you're on the road And I'm sure you're faster than before Yes I know you're somewhere on the road I reckon there is nothing more to say

about

Jane Brooks Seattle, Washington

I'm new to music. The ukulele is my midlife crisis. I like things simple, plain, sloppy, except of course when I don't. I miss the friends I don't get to see anymore. Sometimes these songs are for them.
