Nowhere Man

The Natalie Merchant version is more fun to sing.



But of course the original is timeless, especially with the video from Yellow Submarine.

He's a real
Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his
Nowhere Land
Making all
his Nowhere Plans
for nobody

Doesn't have
a point of view
Knows not where
he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you
and me

Nowhere Man
please listen
You don't know
what you're missing
Nowhere Man
the world
is at your command

He's as blind
as he can be
Just sees what
he wants to see
Nowhere Man
can you see me
at all

Nowhere Man
don't worry
Take your time
don't hurry
Leave it all
till somebody else
lends you a hand

Doesn't have
a point of view
Knows not where
he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you
and me

Nowhere Man
please listen
you don't know
what you're missing
Nowhere Man
the world
is at your command

He's a real
Nowhere Man
Sitting in his
Nowhere Land
Making all
his Nowhere Plans
for nobody

Making all
his Nowhere Plans
for nobody
Making all
his Nowhere Plans
for nobody

Lucky One

The Lucky One, by Jess Penner




golden stars and sliver bark that
glitter softly in the dark
Iʼm under your spell

Deep and Dark Like the Water Was

The Fog, by Kate Bush

You see, I'm all grown up now

He said
"Just put your feet down, child
'Cause you're all grown up now"

Just like a photograph
I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up

But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into the fog

This love was big enough for the both of us
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark, like the water was
The day I learned to swim

He said
"Just put your feet down, child"

Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me

Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim

'Cause you're all grown up now

Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me

The Ashes Just Look Pretty on Your Eyes

"Ashes on Your Eyes" - The Weepies (Deb Talan)

Just about the time
your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line,
but all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind
on a road you won't revise
No, you won't revisit that
dirty compromise.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

So look up, up ahead
The city lights are dancing for you
Or is it the aurora burning
off the edges of the sky?
Don't cry, don't cry
That's all over now.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun
to understand
When it's time to move on
there is no one
To hold your hand.
So let go,
let go,
let go.

Here the night is fine
The stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
"Don't try, don't try
Just remember how, remember, remember"

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
pretty on your eyes
pretty on your eyes
