Still

No relationship with me would ever be picture perfect
Because I’m difficult to live with
But I guess that I’m still worth it,
‘Cause after all these years, you’re still here with me
And you’re still dear to me
Hey ya hi yi
You're still here with me
Hey ya hi yi
You're still dear
You accept my fear of growing old
And that my hands are always cold
–except when you’re near
You suspect I’m tossing most the night
You think I think I’m always right
Yet that’s when you’re here for me
You make it all clear for me
Hey ya hi yi
You're still here with me
Hey ya hi yi
You're still dear
So say it ain’t easy

Ball & Chain

|
Your arms fit me like a ball and chain
Where would I be without you?
Oh, your arms fit me like a ball and chain
Where could I be without you? Oh
You’re puzzled at best by my cries to put all the poison aside
I resent you for all that I see changing me
Well at least I can say that I tried to push past the demons inside
Relentlessly failing me, you’re soft but smothering
Ya de di ... do
Your danger to me is a favour to the enemy Oh
In wide open spaces I hide, with conscience alone as my guide
Your forced agendas and monarchy are caging me
Well at least you’ll rely on self-pride until this farewelling subsides
So jealously trailing me, you’re soft but smothering
Ya de di ... do
Your danger to me is a favour to the enemy Oh
Your arms fit me like a ball and chain
Where would I be without you? Oh
Your arms fit me like a ball and chain
Where could I be without you?
Ya de di ... do
Your danger to me is a favour to the enemy Oh
Your danger to me is a favour
And it’s a favour to me

Rise and Shine

Rise and shine, Valentine
Now, pull me down beside your handsome face
Give me a taste of what it is I long for
Rise and shine, Prince of Mine
Now, let me tell you a story of how you’d stay
For the day and why you wouldn’t be sorry
Your friends will forgive you
Put them out of your mind
They’ll understand when they find out
A woman needs you now
Rise and shine, Valentine
Now, I could use some of your help to displace
This lace, so you can see what’s in store
Rise and shine, Concubine
Now, there’s no need for talking
Just have your way. Let me play
And then…
I’ll put on…
The coffee

Run Away
02:35
|

|
Ask me again if I'd RUN AWAY, leave these shades of grey behind
Ask me again if I'd RUN AWAY and you'd hear me say yes this time
The secret of my eyes is found in what makes them sore, tearful and paralyzed
For they won't see yours anymore, oh
Ask me again if I'd fly to space. If I'd see your face, I would try
Ask me again to that hiding place. We won't leave a trace there this time
The stolen song's my lullaby and my bag is packed by the door
My faith in you's worth a try, for they won't seem sore anymore when you
Ask me again if I'd RUN AWAY, leave these shades of grey behind
Ask me again if I'd RUN AWAY and you'd hear me say yes this time
Ask me again, oh ask me again, I promise I'll do it this time
Ask me again, oh ask me again, I promise I'll do it this time

Reluctantly
04:36
|
|||
|
You never admit when you’ve done me wrong
You never feel guilt ‘cause you’re a man, you’re so strong
You’ve come to confess, well you’ve waited too long
You never can tell when I’m justified
Maybe you never will; apple in mouth, I’m hog-tied
You’ve come to confess. I don’t believe that you’ve tried
Why feel you no remorse?
How wield you not regret,
Though you’re beholden to me,
Reluctantly in debt?
Reluctantly. Always
They never found out, more than the precious few,
how heavily you’re burdened by the vicious truth
Could it really be that you have feelings too?
Why feel you no remorse?
How wield you not regret,
Though you’re beholden to me,
Reluctantly in debt?
Reluctantly. Always
You’d never forfeit an ounce of senseless pride
How could the two of us ever coincide?
Your request for status quo has been denied
Why feel you no remorse?
How wield you not regret,
Though you’re beholden to me,
Reluctantly in debt?
Reluctantly. Always
So take your own hand and get it together
Or take it all back again

People, Like You
04:01
|

Passing your judgment like God on those who have harmed you not
Without even saying hello, you’ve already berated them so
But they haven’t done any wrong
Who cares how he walks?
Who cares if she stutters?
Who cares if they’re not ‘normal’
By your ridiculous standards
Who cares if she’s bald?
Who cares if he’s cheesy?
Who cares if you don’t find them
Aesthetically pleasing?
Why are you so hesitant to smile, but so willing to put them on trial?
The stranger you have no intent to meet, you tarnish as they cross the street
But they haven’t done any wrong
Who cares how he walks?
Who cares if she stutters?
Who cares if they’re not ‘normal’
By your ridiculous standards
Who cares if she’s bald?
Who cares if he’s cheesy?
Who cares if you don’t find them
Aesthetically pleasing?
‘Cause they’re all just people like you
Living their day-to-day lives, their day-to-day struggles
You blame this conversation on the smog
It’s the cause of your troubles in love, troubles finding happiness
But they haven’t done any wrong
Who cares how he walks?
Who cares if she stutters?
Who cares if they’re not ‘normal’
By your ridiculous standards
Who cares if she’s bald?
Who cares if he’s cheesy?
Who cares if you don’t find them
Aesthetically pleasing?
Admit it, you’re lost
Admit it, you’re reaching
Just looking for comfort,
But I challenge your reasoning
Admit it, you’re lost
Admit it, you’re grieving
For the one who is lacking
is the one who is judging
‘Cause they’re all just people, like you

Jack & Jill
04:02
|

|
The salt of my tears dries to my lashes
Like a permanent first fallen snow
Loosen the chains, ‘cause the cowards won’t stay
And Jack and Jill roll down the hill again
Yah, Jack and Jill roll down that hill again
The chance we had escapes us once again
We shall never see our kingdom of freedom
So loosen the chains, ‘cause the cowards won’t stay
And Jack and Jill roll down the hill again
Yah, Jack and Jill roll down that hill again
Why can’t we break your crown?
Somehow you’ve got to go down
Oh and their mothers cry, but those tears don’t fight
Loosen the chains, ‘cause the cowards won’t stay
And Jack and Jill roll down the hill again
Yah, Jack and Jill roll down that hill again
Ooh
And their mothers cry, but those tears don’t fight the pain
Loosen the chains ‘cause the cowards won’t stay
Yah, and Jack and Jill roll down the hill again
Jack and Jill dance down that hill again
Ow ooh.
And their mothers cry, but those tears don’t fight
No those tears don’t fight
Those tears don’t fight the pain

Waiting For Ben
02:29

|
Last Monday he was late again
Left me standing out here in the rain
Like countless times before that storm,
It’s just always been that way, yah
I ran out of time waiting for Ben
I was late for work for Ben
I ran out of time waiting for Ben
I was late for work for Ben
Today is Monday and he’s late again
Tthink I might go insane
No, this can’t go on with him treating me wrong
Somethin’s just got to change
‘Cause there’s not enough time to be waiting for Ben
I hate always waiting for Ben
There’s not enough time to be waiting for Ben
I hate always waiting for Ben
Well, Tuesday I won’t be waiting again
Now that I’ve chosen to take the train
9:30 will come, but I’ll be gone by 9:01
I wonder how long he’ll wait?
I won’t be wasting my time waiting for Ben
I guess I ran out of time for Ben
I won’t be wasting my time waiting for Ben
I guess I ran out of time for Ben
Guess I ran out of time for Ben
Guess I ran out of time for Ben

Meghan Morrison Toronto, Ontario
Imagine the members of Coldplay dancing circles with Loreena McKennitt in the Woodstock rain and you can begin to sense the rhythmic and vibrantly haunting music that Meghan Morrison orchestrates with her lilting coloratura soprano vocal range and eclectic backing band. ... more
