Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me  


You do something to me - something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire - for a love I’ll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, I’m waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame -
An' feel real again

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I'm hoping to get close to - a peace i cannot find -

Dancing through the fire - just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough -
To tell you that.....

You do something to me - something deep inside.

Neil Young

Tell Me Why!

Sailing heart-ships
thru broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher
must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make
arrangements with yourself,
When you're old enough to repay
but young enough to sell?

Tell me lies later,

come and see me

I'll be around for a while.

I am lonely but you can free me

All in the way that you smile

Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make

arrangements with yourself,

When you're old enough to repay

but young enough to sell?

Tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why

PAUL SIMON 

Bleeker Street

Fog’s rollin` in off the East River bank

Like a shroud, it covers Bleekers Street

Fills the alleys where men sleep

Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad café

Smiling faces try to understand

I saw a shadow touch a shadow’s hand

On Bleeker Street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme

Holy, holy is his sacrament

Thirty dollars pays your rent

On Bleeker Street

I heard a church bell softly chime

In a melody sustainin’

It’s a long road to Canaan

On Bleeker Street

Bleeker Street

From the album  Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M

Leaves That Are Green

Paul Simon

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

I’m twenty-two now, but it won’t be for long

Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with the love for a girl

I helped her close, but she faded in the night

Like a poem I meant to write

And the leaves that are green turned to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

I threw a pebble in a brook

And watched the ripples run away

And they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turned to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,

Good-bye, Good-bye

Good-bye, Good-bye

That’s’ all there is

And the leaves that are green turned to brown

From the album  Sounds of Silence

 

Kathy's Song

Paul Simon

I hear the drizzle of the rain

Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roof and walls

And from the shelter of my mind

Through the window of my eyes

I gaze beyond the rain – drenched streets

To England, where my heart lies

My mind’s distracted and diffused

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you’re asleep

And kiss you when you start your day

And a song I was writing is left undone

I don’t know why I spent my time

Writing songs I can’t believe

With words that tear and strain to rhyme

And so you see, I have come no doubt

All that I once held as true

I stand alone without beliefs

The only truth I know is you

And as I watch the drops of rain

Weave their weary paths and die

I know that I am like the rain

There but for the grace of you go I

Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me

You do something to me - something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire - for a love I’ll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, I’m waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame -
An' feel real again

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I'm hoping to get close to - a peace i cannot find -

Dancing through the fire - just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough -
To tell you that.....

You do something to me - something deep inside.

Paul Weller - I Walk On Gilded Splinters

Some people think they're jammy
But i know they must be crazy
Can't see their misfortune
Even if they're lazy
Walk throughout the fire
Drive throughout the smoke
See my enemy at the end of the rope

Walk on piles of needles
See what they can do
Walk on gilded splinters
With the king of the zulus

Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters

Here i go, now
Til i murder, til i'm dead

I rode out my coffee
By drinking poison from my chalice
Propped against my faith
I drink oil for my malice

Meet me on your doorstep
Soon we'll be in the gutter
Melt you just like butter
I'll make you stutter

Walk throughout the fire
Drive throughout the smoke
See my enemy at the end of the rope

Walk on piles of needles
See what they can do
Walk on gilded splinters
With the king of the zulus

Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters

Til I murder, til I’m dead
