Money Won’t

Money won’t
Move a Mountain
And money won’t
Calm the Sea
No it won’t
And money won’t
Buy you one more Day
When one more Day is all you Need…
Some of them breathe for Silver
And some of them live for Gold
And some of then die for Diamonds and death will be stones
Money won’t
Heal the Heartbreak, yeah
And money won’t
Cure your Disease
No it won’t
And money won’t
Buy you back your Life
When the Lord says it’s time to Leave
Some of them dream of Riches
And some of them pray for More
And some of them lie and steal for it
Then walk on walk out through that door…
Money won’t
Move a Mountain
And money won’t
Calm the Sea, no it won’t
And money won’t
Buy you one more day
When one more day is all you Need
It won’t cure your Heartbreak
It wont buy you one Day
Gold won’t save your Soul
No no No NO NO
Gold won’t save your Soul
Well money won’t
Buy you back your Life
When the Lord says it’s time to Leave…

Our Day Will Come…

Our day will come (Our day will come)
And we’ll have everything
We’ll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me
That I’m too young to know I love you so
And you love me
Our day will come (Our day will come)
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile
Our dreams are meant to be
Because we’ll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come

~~ Amy Winehouse

Rid of Me… PJ Harvey

Tie yourself to me
No one else, no
You’re not rid of me
No, you’re not rid of me

Night and day I breathe
Hah hah ay hey
You’re not rid of me
No you’re not rid of me
No you’re not rid of me
No you’re not rid of me

I beg you my darling
Don’t leave me
I’m hurting

Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs I’m desire

I’ll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh you’re not rid of me
No you’re not rid of me
I’ll make you lick my injuries
I’m gonna twist your head off, see

Till you say don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her

I beg you my darling
Don’t leave me
Cause I’m hurting
I’ve been lonely
Above everything
Above every day
And I’m hurting

Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs I’m desire
Lick my legs and I’m on fire
Lick my legs I’m desire

Oh you’re not rid of me
No you’re not rid of me
I’ll make you lick my injuries
I’m gonna twist your head off, see

Till you say don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her
Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her

Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs I’m desire
Lick my legs and I’m on fire
Lick my legs and I’m desire
Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs and I’m desire
Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs and I’m desire
Lick my legs and I’m on fire
Lick my legs I’m desire
Lick my legs I’m on fire
Lick my legs and I’m desire
