Cold Little Heart

(Michael Kiwanuka)

Oh
Oh
Ooh, ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ooh ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

Did you ever want it?
Did you want bad?
Oh, my
It tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain, so much power
Running through my veins
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try to hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
But thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start

Victim Of Love

(Charles Bradley)

Nowhere to hide
Victim of love

I’m a victim… of loving you
I’m victim… of wanting you
I woke up this morning… I found your love
Laying beside my soul
You told me that you loved me baby
I… oh I love you baby
I love you so darn gone much

Victim of love
Victim of love
Nowhere to hide
Victim of love

I’m a victim… of loving you, baby
When I was walking on the streets the other day
(On the street…)
You passed by and said (say hello)
Hello
Uh baby
My heart skips a beat
(skip skip skip skip)
(skip a beat)

Loving you… wanting you
Every time I see your face
Baby
Come on
Come on home
Where you belong

Victim of love
Victim, victim
Victim of love
Victim
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
You know…
When I tell you I love you
Victim of love
There’s nowhere for me to hide no more baby
Victim of love
You got deep down in my soul
You touched my heart
He’s a victim
He’s a victim
Uh baby
He’s a victim
I’m a victim
He’s a victim
Of loving you
I need you, baby

Bloody Mother F*cking Asshole

(Martha Wainright)

Poetry has no place for a heart that's a whore
And I'm young and I'm strong
But I feel old and tired
Overfired

And I've been poked and stoked
It's all smoke, there's no more fire
Only desire
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are

You say my time here has been some sort of joke
That I've been messing around
Some sort of incubating period
For when I really come around
I'm cracking up
And you have no idea

No idea how it feels to be on your own
In your own home
With the f*cking phone
And the mother of gloom
In your bedroom
Standing over your head
With her hand in your head
With her hand in your head

I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth

Oh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man
So I could learn how to stand up for myself
Like those guys with guitars
I've been watching in bars
Who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
To a different beat
To a different beat

I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth

You bloody mother f*cking asshole
Oh you bloody mother f*cking asshole
Oh you bloody mother f*cking asshole
Oh you bloody mother f*cking asshole
Oh you bloody mother f*cking asshole
Oh you bloody...

I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are

River

(Leon Bridges)

Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart’s been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips aren’t clean

In my darkness I remember
Momma’s words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he’ll wipe your slate clean"

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know

Tip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips aren’t clean

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Go on,
Take me to your river
I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know

Queen Of Boredness

(Kinny)

(feat. Diesler)

Somehow, I'm playing your blues
I believe, with a little bit of attitude.
Can you tell me something
Can you tell me something amusing.
Mixed emotions, now who's to care.

Instead, all I wanna know is what's going on in there
We all wanna know what's going on out there
We all wanna know what's going on over there-

Can you tell me something
an you tell me something amusing, amusing .
Boredness brings out the rudeness, brings out the rudeness

So yes, secrecy, it's what you do best
So invite me over and we'll break the rules

I forgot your name, I forgot your name
Then Jermaine will do.
Sorry im not interested, sweet flute.

Instead, we all wanna know what's going on in there
We all wanna know what's going on out there
We all wanna know what's going on over there-

Instead, we all wanna know what's going on in there
We all wanna know what's going on out there
We all wanna know what's going on over there-
What's happening in there

This Feeling

(Alabama Shakes)

I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping
The way would become clear
I spent all this time tryna play now
I found my way here

See, I've been having me a real hard time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming
It wasn't very hard
I spent all this time tryna figure out why
Nobody on my side

See, I've been having me a real good time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
So please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright

So I just kept going, I just kept going
And hoping I'm growing in
Well this good I've found, I spent all this time
Tryna find my way here

And I've been having me a real fun time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

Please don't take this feeling
I have found a name
Please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
If I wanted to, I'd be alright
Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright

Changes

(Charles Bradley)

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go

I'm going through changes
I'm going through Changes (in my life)

We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way

My heart was blinded
Love went astray

I'm going through changes
I'm going through Changes (in my life)

It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear her
Last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes,
In my life, in my life,
There gotta be a change in my life
This little changes, in my life

Straight From The Heart

(Irma Thomas)

Do you need me like I need you
Look at me I'm crying from wanting you

Make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing
If it comes from the heart

If time will stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I think of all the pain that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing
If it comes from the heart

Picking up the pieces
Of my broken heart
It was real hard

A fragile thing like life
It just don't last so long
It could be for a minute, or an hour
or then again from now on

If time will stand still
While I'm thinking of you
I think of all the pain that I wanted of you

To make me forget the pain that you cause
Understanding it's a great thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
If it comes from the heart
(Understanding's a great thing)
Yes it is, if it comes from the heart

Life is too fragile
Don't abuse it now...

Nothing Arrived (Live from Spotify London)

(Villagers)

Savannah scatters and the seabird sings
So why should we fear what travel brings?
What were we hoping to get out of this
Some kind of momentary bliss

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived

It's our dearest ally, it's our closest friend
It's our darkest blackout, it's our final end
My dear sweet nothing, let's start anew
From here on in it's just me and you

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived

Well, I guess it's over
I guess it's begun
It's a loser's table, but we've already won
It's a funny battle, it's a constant game
I guess I was busy- when nothing came
I guess I was busy-
I guess I was busy-
I was busy-
Busy-

Thank you!

Don't

(Zoe Kravitz)

Don't (don't)
Don't (don't)
That's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I wanna kiss you
Baby, don't say don't
(Don't)
(Don't)

Don't (don't)
Don't (don't)
Leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I wanna hold you
Baby, don't say don't
(Don't, don't, don't)
(Don't, don't, don't)

If you think that this is just a game I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean every word I'm saying

Don't (don't)
Don't (don't)
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay
This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't (don't)
Baby don't say don't (don't)
Baby don't say don't (don't)

The Wonder Of You

(Conor O'Brien)

When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
And everything I do
That's the wonder...
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder ...
The wonder of you
(The wonder of you)

And I'll guess I never know
The reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder...
The wonder of you

How's The World Treating You

(Daniel Agee)

I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow
How's the world treating you?

Every sweet thing that matters
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
How's the world treating you?

Got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day you're away

Though our pathways have parted
To your memory I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken-hearted
How's the world treating you?

Do you wonder about me
Like I'm hoping you do?
Are you lonesome without me?
Have you found someone new?

Are you burning and yearning?
Do you ever get blue?
Do you think of returning?
How's the world treating you?

You Can't Always Get What You Want

(Ituana)

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would come meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

And, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you might find
You get what you need

We went down to the demonstration
To get our fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"

And, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

And, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh now dee
You get what you need
Oh no day, dum

You get what you need
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
