Scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues

You could find out everything if you listened to the words she sings.

 

but in the first moment of her waking up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
She goes to the mirror to put on her stuff
She knows she’s losing it, oh yeah she’s losing it
When she doesn’t speak to anyone till four 0’ clock
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
Oh yeah she’s losing it

The Sea, Corinne Bailey Rae
I never knew you were standing on the shore,
It says everything,
Explains everything.
That from then on it couldn’t be just like before,
it says everything,
Changes everything.
So don’t you stand there wishing your life would fade away
And don’t you go round with anyone who makes you feel ashamed.

Goodbye paradise,
I hope there’s something you could try
Goodbye
You’re so changed that you’d give it all away
Goodbye,
Goodbye


I saw your face in the faded light,
Said everything,
Explained everything.
It haunts all your days and it comes to you at night,
You did everything,
Blame anything.
But don’t you cut those ribbons to take away the pain
And don’t you go round with that same old crowd,
They make you feel ashamed

Goodbye paradise,
I hope there’s something you could try
Goodbye
You’re so changed that you’d give it all away
Goodbye,
Goodbye paradise

The sea,
The majestic sea,
Breaks everything,
Crushes everything,
Cleans everything,
Takes everything
From me

Blackbird, Corinne Bailey Rae & Herbie Hancock


I’d Do It All Again, Corinne Bailey Rae

Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you’re thirsting for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skein
It’s hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart, my heart’s an open door
You got all you came for, baby
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride’s worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
It’s terrifying, life, through the darkness

And I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
You try sometimes but it won’t stop
You got my heart and my head’s lost, ooh yeah
I’ve been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride
Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love
Someone to love
Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh

Immature, Bjork

How could I be so immature ?
To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me

How could I be so immature ?
To think he could replace,
The missing elements in me,
How extremely lazy of me.

How could I be so immature ?
How could I be so immature ?



Mike’s overdub on a tune I wrote.
