Tom Waits - Take it with Me

Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go



All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a hart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it

Waterboys - What do you Want me to do?

I've tried to do things my own way
I've tried to do what people say
And I'm going nowhere fast
and I'm turning to you at last

What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do Lord?

I can see the lights of home
but I can't get there on my own
I can see the landing strip
but I need you to steer my ship

What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do Lord?

I've been a foll and I've been a clown
I let the enemy turn me around
I've wasted love and I've wasted time
I've been proud and I've been blind

What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do Lord?

I've got a lot of things to change
a whole man to rearrange
And if you show me how
I'll begin right now

What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do Lord?
I'm listening...
