"The Scientist"
(originally by Coldplay)

"The Scientist"
(originally by Coldplay)

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

"The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart?)"

"The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart?)"

Whenever we kiss I worry and wonder
Your lips may be here but where is your heart
It's always like this I worry and wonder
You're close to me here but where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize that you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss do you close your eyes pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell darling where is your heart
[guitar]
It's a sad thing to realize that you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss do you close your eyes pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell darling where is your heart

"The Songwriters"

"The Songwriters"

We get to break out of prison
Make love to our best friends wife
Have a beer for breakfast in Boston
Drink rum in Jamaica that night

We get to tell all our secrets
In a code no one understands
We get to shoot all the bad guys
But never get blood on our hands

We're hero's, we're schemers,
We're drunks and we're dreamers
We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters
We're students we're teachers
We're the devil we're preachers
We're true love but mostly one nighters
We're the songwriters

Half the world thinks we're crazy
The other half wants to be us
And the're jealous because we get to hang out
In the back of some big stars tour bus

We're old boots and tee shirts and blue jeans
We're cables and strings and E Chords
We only dress up in November
When they hand out some writers awards

We're hero's, we're schemers,
We're drunks and we're dreamers
We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters
We're the truths we're the lies
We're stupid we're wise
We're true love but mostly one nighters
We're the songwriters

We ride bridges we cross em and burn em
Teach lessons but don't bother to learn em

Our mama's don't know what we're doing
Why we stay out all night long
I told mine I was a drug dealer
She said thank god you ain't writin songs

We're heros, we're schemers,
We're drunks and we're dreamers
We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters
We're the truths we're the lies
We're stupid we're wise
We're true love but mostly one nighters
We're the songwriters

We're the songwriters

"The Sound In Your Mind"

"The Sound In Your Mind"

Well, I've been feeling a little bad
'Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
It's a little like rain but it's a lot like a sunny day

And it's hard to explain but the sound of your name
Don't make music anymore
It's more a sound of a love that I lost one day

It's a little too late
To start thinking about startin' all over
I'd rather stay where I am
I can't take another slam in the mind

I've been feeling a little bad
'Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind

I've been runnin' around
Even laughin' at half of the mem'ries
You're not hard to remember
I just have to think of your name

I've been feeling a little bad
'Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind
Remember my love, it's the sound that you hear in your mind

"The Sound Of Your Memory"
(feat. Lukas Nelson)

"The Sound Of Your Memory"
(feat. Lukas Nelson)

Well it's 4 a.m., ain't no sleep to be found
Your face in my mind spinning around
And awake I will dream, in my dream you'll be there
And I can't get away from you anywhere

And ever since I met you my life's been a song
A sad song, a love song with hate in between
You'd be breaking my heart, it was clear from the start
But my pen and my paper will keep my mind clean

And I can't breathe when you're around
My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak
And I can't sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that's bringing me down
The sound of your memory that's bringing me down

And I can't see myself without seeing you
I can't touch anything that don't feel like you do
Any place that I go I'll be looking for you
And it hurts me to know that you don't love me too

And I can't breathe when you're around
My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak
And I can't sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that's bringing me down
The sound of your memory that's bringing me down

And I can't breathe when you're around
My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak
And I can't sleep cause of the sound
The sound of your memory that's bringing me down
Yes, the sound of your memory is bringing me down

"The Thirty-Third Of August"

"The Thirty-Third Of August"

Well today there's no salvation, the band's packed up and gone
Left me standin' with a penny in my hand
There's a big crowd at the station where a blind man sings his songs
And he can see what I can't understand

It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down
Eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound

Once I stumble through the darkness, tumble to my knees
A thousand voices screamin' through my brain
Woke up in the squad car, busted down for vagrancy
And outside my cell, sure as hell, it looked like rain

It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down
Eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound

Now I put my angry feelin' under lock and chain
I hide my violent nature with a smile
Though the demons dance and sing their songs within my fevered brain
Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, are defiled

It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down
Eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound

It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down
Eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound

(performed with B. B. King)

"The Thrill Is Gone"
(performed with B. B. King)

The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong
And you'll be sorry someday

[B.B. King:]
(Thrill is gone, gone away from me
Thrill is gone, gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
Oh, so lonely I'll be)

You know I'm free from you baby
I am free from your spell
Well I'm free, free, free from you
I'm free from your spell
Now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

[Both:]
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
You know you'll be sorry someday

"The Troublemaker"

"The Troublemaker"

I could tell the moment that I saw Him
He was nothing but the trouble making kind
His hair was much too long and His motley group of friends
Had nothing but rebellion on their minds

He's rejected the establishment completely
I know for sure He's never held a job
He just goes from town to town, stirring up the young folks
'Til they're nothing but a disrespectful mob

I know for sure He's never joined the army
And served His country like we all have done
He'd rather wear His sandals and His flowers
While others wage the war that must be won

They arrested Him last week and found Him guilty
And sentenced Him to die but that's no great loss
Friday they will take Him to a place called Calvary
And hang that troublemaker to a cross

"The Wall"

"The Wall"

I took on more than I could handle
I bit of more than I could chew
I hit the wall
I went off like a Roman candle
Burnin' everyone I knew
I hit the wall
I hit the wall

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

Half my lie I'm ridin' on a rocket
One world to the next and on and on
I hit the wall
Takin' things to make it make me better
Remembering things I never knew I knew
I hit the wall
I hit the wall

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

And the wall came down
Roaring crashin' down
And there was not a sound

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

"The Warm Red Wine"

"The Warm Red Wine"

Put a nickel in the jukebox
And let it play
For my heart is troubled with pain
Take the cork from the bottle
Of the warm red wine
And fill my glass up, again.

Fill my glass to the brim
Till it flows o'er the rim
Like the tears flow in this heart of mine
Then I'll say so long
To the dreams that are gone
On account of the warm red wine.

[Instrumental]

Oh, a prison of stone
With it's cold iron bars
Is no more than a prison than mine
I'm a prisoner of drink
Who will never escape
From the chains of the warm red wine.

Oh, the wine is red
So warm and red
Like the ribbon
It sparkles and shines
But I paid for the wine
Yeah, That one red wine
With all of my hopes
And in my dreams...
