Love with all my heart the wretches gone awry

The Wretches Gone Awry by Happy Rhodes



Mine are like the wings of a butterfly
A dusty pair so,
Don't you touch them or I'll never fly anywhere

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

Ever see the wings of a dragonfly?
Paper-thin and cellophane
And quickly broken like the will to live for a mind in pain

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You know I can be rid of my time and
the moon will always shine
'Cause he knows I need him to walk
this vile and crooked line

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

And you can own all the light in the world and still be blind
And lie and hide away from the people in
the world and still be kind

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

All I ask is you let me be to live like I do
I'll never be part but someday I will pass on through

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You can pull the wings from a dragonfly
And you can kill the flight of a butterfly
But you can't harm me for I live with the freedom to decide

And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry

Say
You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry

Yes the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

Sweet Longing

"The Longing" by the Eels



The longing is a pain
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
And my day becomes a quest
To try not to think about her
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things

Surely there are other things to life
But I can't think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Her smile
Her touch
Her smell
Her laugh

The longing is a friend
A way to stay close
And feel like she's here
And feel like she knows
That when I say I would die for her
It's not just words
I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could

Surely there are other things to life
But I can't think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her
Her tears
Her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts

I love them all

Dream of Love as Time Runs Through My Hand



"Desert Rose" by Sting

[Cheb Mami Introduction (Algerian Arabic):]
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
[English:]
Oh night oh night
It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Aman aman aman
Omry feek antia
Ma ghair antia
Ma ghair antia
[English:]
Aman aman aman
My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Ya lili ah ya leel
[English:]
Oh night oh night

I-I-I

"Big Wheel" by Tori Amos



I've been on the other side
Got my lips smacked
Now they're dry
Then you call me
Call me in

You think I am your possession
You're messing with a Southern girl
But my recipe is on
With your stale bread
Yeah it's hot

But baby I don't need your cash
So baby maybe I'll let your
Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw your shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain
Wash it away
Wash it away
Wash you away boy
Let's go

I've been on my knees
But you're so hard to please
Did you take me
Take me in
So you are a superstar
Get off the cross
We need the wood

Somehow you will rise
But with attitude
I know honey you're a pro
But baby I don't need your cash
Momma got it all in hand now

Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw that shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
You go turn that whiskey into rain
Wash it away
Wash it away boy
Wash you away now

Gimme-8
Gimme-7
Gimme-6
Gimme-5
Gimme-4
Gimme-3
I-I-I am a M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
M-I-L-F
Don't you forget
Baby I don't need your cash
So baby maybe I'll let your

Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw that shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain

Big wheel turn my fantasy
Don't you throw your shade on me
I've been drinking down your pain
I'm gonna turn that whiskey into rain
I'm gonna turn your whiskey
Boy into rain
Wash you away
Wash you away boy
Wash you down
Big wheel

I Want You To...

I Want You To... by Jem



Maria, salimos esta noche?
- Ay, no se.
Maria, igual encuentras un chico guapo.
- No se...estoy cansada.
¿Sabes que? Que vas a salir y será una gran noche.

Spinning round and
I touch the ground
And I let go of my mind
Let the music take
over my body
And I start to unwind
Feel the heat as I rock the beat
And I see your sexy smile
Intense attraction,
bodies like magnets
My, thoughts start to run wild
De arriba nace el amor
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to...
Moving forward and
arching back with that,
hot look in your eye
Up so close I can feel
you touching me
No time to be shy
Head to head no I
won't be lead well I,
I'll put up a fight
Feel the bass, now my
pulse is racing
And I'm flying tonight
De arriba nace el amor
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to...
De arriba nace el amor
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to......

Dites Moi Tu

"Dites Moi Tu" by Karpatt



Parler n'est pas une chose simple
quand l'intimité est absente
si l'on se disait "tu" ma belle
cela me délierait la langue

si on s'connaissait un peu mieux
je vous dirais au singulier
si l'on était un peu plus proches
ce verbe je le conjuguerais

dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai
dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai...
et je vous tuerai

Vous avouer je n'ose pas
c'est le poids de la bienséance
un singulier pour un pluriel
le détail a son importance

D'un pronom trop impersonnel
accepteriez vous mes aveux
s'il résonnait à une personne
qui nous éloigne encore un peu

dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai
dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai...
et je vous tuerai

je vous vois le sourire aux lèvres
pensant a une coquetterie
destinée a vous étourdir
pour profiter de l'embellie

pourtant le courage m'a manqué
le dilemne a été fatal
j'suis resté avec mes aveux
pour une raison pronominale

dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai
dîtes moi tu... je le ferai
dîtes moi tu... je vous tutoierai...
et je vous tuerai

Hello It's Me

Todd Rundgren
Hello It's Me



Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Think of me...
Think of me...
Think of me
