"Jolene"
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep

There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men

But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
"Nothing Breaks Like A Heart"
This world can hurt you

It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart
I heard you on the phone last night

We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, oh, we both know it
These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken
Mmm, well nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence

By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
We'll leave each other cold as ice

And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowin', is blowin'
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it
Mmm, nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Nothing breaks like a heart
(My heart, my heart)
(My heart, my heart)

Mhmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
But nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
"Hit The Road Jack"
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no
more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
more)
Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean

You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)
more)
What you say?
more)
Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way

Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)
more)
What you say?
more)
Well
(Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say?
I didn't understand you
You can't mean that
Oh, now baby, please
What you tryin' to do to me?
Oh, don't treat me like that
"All The Same To Me"
I won't run when the sky turns to flame

And I sure won't budge
When the earth does shake
When the flood comes up
I will dance in the rain
'Cause it's all the same to me
Somebody care, somebody care

Somebody care for me
And it's all I live for

The air I breathe
So, it's all the same to me
Yeah, it's all the same to me
Eenie meenie, miney mo

Ee I ee I ee I oh
Where you, where you
Where you go?
Well, it's all the same to me

I won't holler, let me go
Don't you, don't you
Don't you know
That it's all the same to me?
Somebody do, somebody do

Somebody do you wrong
Don't let 'em kill
Don't let 'em kill
Don't let 'em kill your song
So I keep on shuffling on and on

I won't run when the sky turns to flame

And I sure won't budge
When the earth does shake
When the flood comes up
I will dance in the rain

Ee I ee I ee I oh
Where you, where you
Where you go

I won't holler, let me go
Don't you, don't you
Don't you know
That it's all the same to me

And it's all I live for

The air I breathe
So, it's all the same to me
Yes, it's all the same to me
"Wicked Game"
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you, with you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game to play to make me feel this way

What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one

"Viva La Vida"
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

I know St. Peter won't call my name
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

I know St. Peter won't call my name
But that was when I ruled the world
"Radioactive"
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
[Inhale, exhale]
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa oh
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flag and dye my clothes

It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa oh
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa oh

All systems go, the sun hasn't died

Deep in my bones, straight from inside

"Knocking On Heavens Door"
Mama take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' around
And I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Feels like I'm
Feels like I'm

Feels like I'm
Mama tell me
Feels like I'm
Feels like I'm
"I'm Yours"
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon, it's again my turn
To win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate

No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free
And look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big
family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate
I'm yours
But don't you want to come on and scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate

No more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This oh, this oh, this is our fate
I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, oh
Baby, do believe I'm yours?
You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours
"Englishman In New York"
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

If "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say...


"Shape Of You"
The club isn't the best place to find a lover

So the bar is where I go (mmmm)
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow (mmmm)
And you come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now (mmmm)
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance
And now I'm singing like
Girl, you know I want your love

Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come, come on now, follow my lead (mmmm)
I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
One week in we let the story begin

We're going out on our first date (mmmm)
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate (mmmm)
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay (mmmm)
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come, come on now, follow my lead (mmmm)

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
Come on, be my baby, come on



"Drive"
Sat back with the window down

Eighty an hour and the radio loud
The same songs with the same old rhymes
Tell me to shake it off and swing from the lights
But I can't help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won't go away
And I promised I'd be there but you don't make it easy
Darling please believe me
Cause loving you, loving you is too hard

All I do, all I do's not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Count stacks of the routine lies

Funny how easy you could see my blindside
Still the same songs with the same old beats
Sure I could stay but there's a place I'd rather be
And I can't help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won't go away
And I promised I'd be there but you don't make it easy
Darling please believe me
Cause loving you, loving you is too hard

See I remember all the times you made me covered in crazy

I can't forget about the way you played me
Like I was never gonna change your world
It ended long ago so please just let me go
It ended long ago so please just let me go
Loving you, loving you is too hard


All I do, all I do
Loving you, loving you, oh
Loving you, loving you, oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
"This Is The Life"
Oh the wind whistles down

The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep
tonight?
tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4

And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
[3x]
tonight?
tonight?

"Take Me Home, Country Roads"
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing
like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my
eye

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my
home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home
yesterday, yesterday


Take me home, down country roads

Take me home, down country roads
"L'altra Dimensione"
E adesso giuro faccio le valigie

Scappo via in un'altra dimensione
Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie
Voglio un mondo rosa, pieno di colore
Voi comprate amore con le carte Visa
Con le facce intrise, sì ma di sudore
E adesso, giuro, faccio le valigie
Scappo via dalla dolce
Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a ballare stasera

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar
Amico mio devi essere felice

Perché il nuovo mondo sta per arrivare
E non c'è taglio, non c'è cicatrice
Che questa passione non possa curare
Ti elevi dalla polvere come fenice
Son risorto ed ho imparato anche a volare
Soltanto perché ho fatto le valigie
Ed ho baciato la dolce

Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo di
Marlena, Marlena, sì vienimi a parlare

Ti prego Marlena, Marlena, io ti starò ad ascoltare
Ti prego Marlena, Marlena, insegnami a lottare
Ti prego Marlena, Marlena, sì portami a bailar
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo della vita
Il ballo di Marlena
"Beggin'"
Put your loving hand out, baby
'Cause I'm beggin'
I'm beggin', beggin' you

So put your loving hand out, baby
So put your loving hand out, darlin'
Ridin' high, when I was king

I played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
I walked away, but you warned me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end
So, any time I bleed you let me go

Yeah, any time I feed you get me, no
Any time I see you let me know
But I planted that seed, just let me grow
I'm on my knees while I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't want to lose you
Hey yeah, ratatata
'Cause I'm beggin', beggin' you

And put your loving hand out, baby
And put your loving hand out, darlin'
I need you to understand

Tried so hard to be your man
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again
An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life
Was hangin' over me
A broken man
But I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's dance
To win my soul
What we doin'? What we chasin'?

What about 'em, why the basement?
Why we got good shit, don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replace me?
You on a runway track from the good
I want to paint in the pictures any way we could, react
Like the heart in a trash where you should
You done gave it away, ya had it 'til you took it back
But I keep walkin' on

Keep rockin' dawns
Keep walking forward
Now the court is yours
Keep browsin' halls
'Cause I don't wanna live in a broken home
Girl, I'm beggin'
Mhh ye-e-e-ah
I'm fightin' hard

To hold my own
Just can't make it all alone
I'm holdin' on
I can't fall back
I'm just a con about to fade to black

Put your loving hand out, baby
So put your loving hand out
"Let Her Go"
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart
Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep
Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low

And you let her go
Ohhh, oh no
And you let her go
Ohhh, oh no
Well you let her go
Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

And you let her go
"Take On Me"
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love. OK?
Take on me (take on me)

Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
Of odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say. Yeah.

Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

I'll be gone
In a day

I'll be gone
In a day
