Carrie Hope Fletcher - I Know I Have A Heart

I Know I Have A Heart Lyrics

CINDERELLA:
Thought I was too smart for this,
Not a sucker for a kiss
Turned my back to the world
I was protected
I was so not naïve,
With no heart on my sleeve
Always walked out before
I was rejected

Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived

I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have a heart because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could fall so hard,
But what good is a heart
If you don't care?

Like a damsel in distress
In a torn party dress,
Someone I never met
I was pretending
Should have known all along
That I need to be strong
For a girl who's like me
There's no happy ending

I was not a hard one to convince
Girls like me don't end up with a prince

Found out love is a hoax,
One of life's little jokes.
I know I have a heart because you broke it
And it's shattered and bruised,
And now the laugh's on me
Anyone want a heart that's barely used?

Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived

I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have heart a because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could feel so bad,
But what good is a heart
If you're not there?
Now I won't need a heart
'Cause I don't care

Seal - Luck Be A Lady

This just soars. The entire Seal album Standards is brimming with heart and sentiment. It’s wonderful.

Luck Be A Lady Lyrics

They call you Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times, you've had a very unlady-like way of running out
You're on this date with me
The Pickens have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush

You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck, be a lady with me

A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick me with me baby, I'm the fella you came in with
Luck, be a lady tonight

Luck, let a gentleman see
Just how nice, how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight

Andrew Lloyd Webber & Carrie Hope Fletcher - Bad Cinderella

I wrote my English senior thesis in high school about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music and I was crushed when my teacher for some bizarre reason gave me a B-. But I took it lying down then. Later an art history teacher tried this again in college and I fought back - that paper was about Jacques Louis David - Napoleon’s court painter. Apparently that teacher decided she didn’t give anyone As.

Bad Cinderella lyrics

CINDERELLA:
Bad Cinderella
Cinderella is the catty name that they call me
So sad, Cinderella
She's a loner, she a loon, a loser that's all me

Girl from the gutter,
Unpleasant peasant,
No one, a nutter,
Unwelcome present
Cruel taunts you mutter,
Ev'ry insult that you utter makes me strong

Call me bad Cinderella, nasty girl, gutter rose
Your unkindness doesn't shock me
Barking mad Cinderella,
Mock my hair and my clothes
And I hope I have upset you.
Well, forget you

Don't point your finger
Don't you judge me when you live in plexi-glass houses
You're cruel and you're foolish,
With your trophy wives and interchangeable spouses

Cold and uncaring,
Constantly staring,
Solely concerned with
What you are wearing
Gossip and shopping,
I'm the opposite of ev'rthing you are

I am me, Cinderella
I’ve a style all my own
And I will not change it for you
Wild and free Cinderella
You can laugh you can groan
If you think I won’t ignore you
I think “poor you”

They call me a wretch, a witch' well, choose one
Ev'ry fairytale, for sure, can use one
Sorry I'm so rude,
Sorry you're so lame
I won't play your game

Call me bad Cinderella
I take pride when you sneer
I am proud that I’m not like you
Ironclad Cinderella
I face life with no fear
And a more than sky high IQ

Yes I’m bad Cinderella, I will not say goodbye
You’ve been hateful since I met you
Barking mad Cinderella, flying high in the sky
And I hope I have upset you
Well, forget you!

If we change, will this change?

Jesus Christ Superstar - This Jesus Must Die

This Jesus Must Die lyrics

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Good Caiaphas, the council waits for you.
The Pharisees and priests are here for you.

Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here.
We've not much time, and quite a problem here

Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!

Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers, and the whole town's on its feet.

He is dangerous!

Jesus Christ Superstar!

He is dangerous!

Tell us that you're who they say you are.

The man is in town right now to whip up some support.

A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort.

He is dangerous!

Jesus Christ Superstar!

He is dangerous!

Look Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard.

Quick Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard.

No, wait!
We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle wonderman, hero of fools.

No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans.

One thing I'll say for him -- Jesus is cool.

We dare not leave him to his own devices.
His half-witted fans will get out of control.

But how can we stop him?
His glamour increases
By leaps every moment; he's top of the poll.

I see bad things arising.
The crowd crown him king; which the Romans would ban.
I see blood and destruction,
Our elimination because of one man.
Blood and destruction because of one man.

Because, because, because of one man.

Our elimination because of one man.

Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man.

What then to do about this Jesus-mania?

How do we deal with a carpenter king?

Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his baptism thing?

Fools, you have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!
We must crush him completely,
So like John before him, this Jesus must die.
For the sake of the nation, this Jesus must die.

Must die, must die, this Jesus must die.

So like John before him, this Jesus must die.

Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!

Sammy Hagar & The Circle - Be Still

Sending appreciation . . .

Be Still Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Still like to write a good song
I still like a little buzz
I still like my music a bit too loud
I still do things because
And I'm, I'm still my mother's son
Still proud of my father's last name
I still got scars from when I was young
And I still feel the same

[Chorus]
But if I could stop time
No fast forward, no rewind
Just give myself a minute to chill
Watching the water soothes my mind
Helps me leave things behind
Sometimes we got to be nothing
Sometimes we got to be nothing
Be still
Oh

[Verse 2]
Well, I still got both my feet on the ground
I'm still headed for the sky
I still ain't never left this town
Still can't say goodbye
And it's so hard to forget
Sometimes I think I'm a kid
I still don't have too many regrets
Still regret that I did

[Chorus]
If I could stop time
No fast forward, no rewind
Just give myself a minute to chill
Watching the water soothes my mind
Helps me leave things behind
Sometimes we got to be nothing
Oh, sometimes we got to be nothing
Be still
Be still

[Chorus]
Well, if I could stop time
No fast forward, no rewind
Give myself a minute to chill
Watching the water soothes my mind
Helps me leave things behind
Sometimes we got to be nothing
Oh, sometimes we got to be nothing, yeah
We got to be nothing sometimes, oh
Be still
Be still
Come on, be still, my baby
Sometimes you just gotta be still, yeah

Sting - Loving You

The Bridge can be heard here.

Loving You Lyrics

You say that I don't listen
That I don't give you no respect
You took your love to some other place
Now, what did you expect?

We made vows inside the church
To forgive each other's sins
But there are things I have to endure
Like the smell of another man's skin

If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is

You say you wanted children
And you would grow into a mother
But in my mind's eye, I would see you
In the arms of another

I am given to jealousy
I've been given to violence
But I could never raise a hand in my defence
So I suffer here in silence

If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is

I pray the waters of forgiveness
Will rain down on you and me
Just like newborn babies
In the cradle of a tree

And we will walk in righteousness
We will walk in rain and thunder
And what God has joined together here
Let no man put asunder

If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is (oh-hoo)
If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is

If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is (tell me what it is)
If that's not loving you
I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you
Then tell me what it is

Sammy Hagar & The Circle - Father Time

Sammy Hagar’s new album Crazy Times is deep and yet inspiring and intense. We are so graced to have such different stylists bringing us a message of hope, which is so dearly needed right now.

. . .

Hard right to the head
Left hook to the body
Ain't nobody gone down but
They sure taking a beating
And the songs we sing won't change it
No matter how loud we play it
I can see it
I just don't know what to do about it

Father Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father time's over there
Looking over my shoulder
I'm here soaking up the sun
And thinking I ain't gettin' no younger
Crashing waves clawing at the shore
That's been going on forever and more
There's somethin' 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different

[Chorus 1]
And this island smells familiar
Don't remember what I can't forget
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
Ain't over yet
[Verse 2]
Married young
Worked hard to raise four children
Played every bar in every small town that would have me
Finally met a record man who signed me
Said he liked the way my star was shinin'
Hit the road
Man, that ain't no place to start a family

[Chorus 2]
But that highway looks familiar
Don't remember what I can't confess
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
When was the last time
We did somethin' for the first time, baby?
Been a long, long time
Uh-huh
Uh-huh

[Bridge]
Oh, it's been a long, long time, baby
Oh, been a long, long time
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Hard right to the head
Left hook to the body
Ain't nobody gone down but
They sure taking a beating
And the songs we sing won't change it
No matter how loud we play it
I can see it
I just don't know what to do about it

[Chorus 3]
Yeah, and history looks familiar
Don't remember but we can't forget
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet
Still living this dream and it ain't over yet

[Outro]
It ain't over yet
And father time's over there
Looking over my shoulder

It's Sammy Hagar's Birthday Week and He's Going On The Road.

Sting - If It's Love

There is so much to appreciate about Sting’s new album The Bridge. It’s ethereal and passionate and visionary. The Bridge can be heard here.

If It's Love Lyrics

Jumped out of bed this morning
With a smile upon my face
It's still there while I shave my chin
But the reason's hard for me to trace
Cook myself some breakfast
Have some coffee while I muse
Where could this smile have come from?
It's a muscle that I rarely use

Call the doctor with my symptoms
Should I spend all day in bed?
Can you explain what's ailing me?
And this is what my doctor said

If it's love, it has no season
If it's love, there is no cure
If it's love, it won't see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it's love, you must surrender (you must surrender)
If it's love that's turned you 'round (that's turned you 'round)
If it's love, the odds are slender (the odds are)
If it's love, you're sunk without a trace
One case can bring you down

You smile and your heart skips a beat
You hear a church bell chiming
A sound that's ringing in your ears
Will set your heartbeat climbing

And my doctor's diagnosis?
His opinion, and I quote, "I'll write you a prescription"
And this is what my doctor wrote

If it's love, it has no season
If it's love, there is no cure
If it's love, it won't see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it's love, you must surrender (you must surrender)
If it's love then you must yield
If it's love, the odds are slender (the odds are)
If it's love, the trap's already laid
And I'm afraid your fate is all but sealed

Money isn’t everything
