Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) A Change
Ten years living in a paperbag Feedback baby, he's a flipped out cat He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer Mercedes rule, and a rented lear Bottom feeder insincere Prophet lo-fi pioneer Sell the house and go to school Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel
A change would do you good A change would do you good
God's little gift is on the rag Poster girl posing in a fashion mag Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde? Wear your fake fur on the inside Queen of south beach, aging blues Dinners at six, wear your cement shoes I thought you were syncing your heart out to me Your lips were sincing and now I see
A change would do you good A change would do you good
Chasing dragons with plastic swords Jack off Jimmy everybody wants more Scully and angel on the kitchen floor And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board I've been thinking 'bout catching a train Leave my phone machine by the radar range Hello it's me, I'm not at home If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone
A change would do you good A change would do you good

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Home
I woke up this morning Now I understand What it means to give your live To just one man Afraid of feeling nothing No bees or butterflies My head is full of voices And my house is full of lies
[Chorus] This is home, home And this is home, home This is home
I found you standing there When I was seventeen Now I'm thirty-two And I can't remember what I'd seen in you I made a promise Said it everyday Now I'm reading romance novels And dreaming of yesterday
Chorus
I'd like to see the Riviera And slowdance underneath the stars I'd like to watch the sun come up In a stranger arms
Chorus
I'm going crazy A little everyday And everything I wanted Is now driving me away I woke this morning To the sound of breaking hearts Mine is full of questions And it's tearing yours apart...

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Sweet Rosalyn
Slappin' leather was devised During a wild streak in her life She had a cheap apartment up on Royal Street, she brought home Just enough to keep her on her feet She don't believe in anything But if you ask her, she'll say there's a plenty of things to believe in
Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall She was looking for a good time so she made the call Got a strangly calm voice on the other line Sneaky little priest tryin' to reach out to the swine He said, 'Hello my name is Father Tim Seems to me your zeal for this life has been wearing a little thin'
Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sometimes you gotta be loved
Maybe we all could use a little grace To know when to run or when to stay in one place
Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sweet Rosalyn Sometimes you gotta give in Sometimes you gotta be loved

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) If It Makes You Happy
I've been long, along way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos, And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up I promised you I'd never give up
[Chorus] If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down You listen to coltrane, derail your own train Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way Bring you comics in bed, Scrape the mold off the bread, And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus
We've been far, far away from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos, And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along So what if right now everything's wrong?

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Redemption Day
I've wept for those who suffer long But how I weep for those who've gone Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong But keep on killing It's in the soul to feel such things But weak to watch without speaking Oh what mercy sadness brings If God be willing
There is a train that's heading straight To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate And on the way, child and man And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets And swallow everything it meets It's just an image often seen On television Come leaders, come you men of great Let us hear you pontificate Your many virtues laid to waste And we aren't listening What do you have for us today Throw us a bone but save the plate Oh why we waited til so late Was there no oil to excavate No riches in trade for the fate Of every person who died in hate Throw us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that's heading straight To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate And on the way, child and man And woman wait, watch and wait For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside It's exploding in the shells of night It's everywhere a baby cries Freedom

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Hard To Make A Stand
Old James Dean Monroe Hands out flowers at the Shop-N-Go Hopes for money but all he gets is fear And the wind blows up his coat And this he scribbles on a perfume note 'If I'm not here, then you're not here' And he says, 'Call me Miscreation, I'm a walking celebration'
[Chorus] And it's hard to make a stand And it's hard to make a stand It's hard to make a stand It's hard to make s stand
My friend, o lawdy, Went to take care of her body, And she got shot down in the road She looked up before she went, Said, 'This isn't really what I meant' And the Daily News said, 'Two with one stone' And I say, 'Hey there, Miscreation, Bring a flower, time is wasting'
Chorus
Yes it is
We got loud guitars and big suspicions, Great big guns and small ambitions, And we still argue over who is God And I say, 'Hey there, Miscreation, Bring a flower, time is wasting' I say, 'Hey there, Miscreation, We all need a revelation'
Chorus

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Everyday Is A Winding Road
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man He says he's been down this road more than twice He was high on intellectualism I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show Everybody gets high, everybody gets low These are the days when anything goes Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
He's got a daughter he calls Easter She was born on a Tuesday night I'm just wondering why I feel so alone Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go Lay back, enjoy the show Everybody gets high, everybody gets low These are the days when anything goes Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy I've been living on coffee and nicotine I've been wondering if all the things I've seen Were ever real, were ever really happening
Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Oh Marie
Here she comes, she's all dressed up in daisies Half the time, you'd swear that she is crazy Flowered drinks and a low-cut dress That's the way I know her best She says she's lonely, how could she be? Every night she's got company
Oh Marie, I sure hope you're happy Oh Marie, What about me, Marie
She likes the way she looks in her Camaro She likes lingerie but he prefers the sombrero She's so famous on the block She stumbles home around four o'clock She claims the guys are hard to please She wears teen perfume behind her knees
Oh Marie, I sure hope you're happy Oh Marie, What about me, Marie
All day long she fills me up with dogma She's all magazines and benzedrine and vodka There was one man she truly loved He took everything but her bear-skin rug And now and then it's clear to me That need is love and love is need
Oh Marie, I sure hope you're happy Oh Marie, What about me, Marie Oh Marie, What are you looking for Oh Marie, Always an open door What are you looking for

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Superstar
Let's go all downtown I got friends doing nothing but hanging around...well I feel like there's something I could be missing you know you look alright You got cheap shoes, a Malibu, and a big public fights Well, there's no one else I would rather be kissing Baby when you start to bleed, you look so sweet Everybody's watching you cause everybody wants to be
Little superstar, well baby that's what you are Little superstar, oh honey that's what you are
I got a backstage line I call you up been watching you for quite some time I beat around the streets like Bandini looking for Camilla I'll be satin and speed If you and I are still alive we'll get off these streets Well, there was a time I would've hung around just to be seen Hey man, it's a shame when you start to fade Diamond rings and sparkily things won't make your shine stay
My little superstar, oh baby that's what you are My little superstar, oh honey you break my heart My little superstar, oh honey you know you are My little superstar, oh honey you break my heart

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) The Book
I read your book And I find it strange That I know that girl and I know her world A little too well And I didn't know By giving my hand That I would be written down, sliced around, passed down Among stranger's hands
Three days in Rome Where do we go I'll always remember Three days in Rome
Never again Would I see your face You carry a pen and a paper and no time and no words you waste Oh you're a voyeur The worst kind of thief To take what happened to us To write down everthing that went on between you and me
Three days in Rome And I stand alone I'll always remember Three days in Rome
And what do I get Do I get revenge While you lay it all out Without any doubt Of how this would end Sometimes it goes Sometimes we come To learn by mistake that the love you once made Can't be undone
Three days in Rome I laid my heart out I laid my soul down I'll always remember Three days in rome

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow (1996) Ordinary Morning
I left a man Asleep in the nude Name in my pocket With lipstick and rouge Everything I ever wanted, what a lovely pie you've baked, is anybody listening? Don't painted bird never flys away
It's just an ordinary morning It's just an ordinary day And I'm just an ordinary woman Slipping away
The walls have been talking About me again I'm good for a joke but when I awoke The dream didn't end Now everytime I turn around I'm only sleeping, John is anybody out there? Don't the wounded birds still sing
It's just an ordinary morning It's just an ordinary day And I'm just an ordinary woman Slipping away |
