Extraodinary Machine- Fiona Apple

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at piece and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine


-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Dangerous Game- Jekyll and Hyde

LUCY:
I feel your fingers -
Cold on my shoulder -
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine -
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul -
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine.

At the touch of your hand -
At the sound of your voice -
At the moment your eyes meet mine -
I am out of my mind -
I am out of control -
Full of feelings I can't define!

HYDE:
It's a sin with a name -

LUCY:
Like a hand in a flame -

HYDE:
And our senses proclaim

HYDE/LUCY:
It's a dangerous game!

HYDE:
A darker dream -
That has no ending -
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true!
A dance of death -
Out of a mystery tale -
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away? -

LUCY:
No -

HYDE:
Will she will them to stay? -

LUCY:
No -

HYDE:
Either way, there's no way to win!

LUCY:
All I know is' I'm lost -
And I'm counting the cost -
My emotions are in a spin!
I don't know who to blame...

HYDE:
It's a crime and a shame!

LUCY:
but it's true all the same

HYDE/LUCY:
It's a dangerous game!

No one speaks -
Not one word -
But what words are in our eyes
(ALTERNATING)
Silence speaks -
Loud and clear -

All the words we (don't) want to hear!

At the touch of your hand -
At the sound of your voice -
At the moment your eyes meet mine -

I am losing my mind -
I am losing control -
Fighting feelings I can't define!

LUCY:
It's a sin with a name -

HYDE:
No remorse and no shame -
Fire, fury and flame -

LUCY:
Cos the devil's to blame

HYDE/LUCY:
And the angels proclaim
It's a dangerous game!

Lips like morphine- Kill Hannah

I want a girl with lips like morphine,
Knock me out every time they touch me.
I wanna feel a kiss just crush me,
And break me down.

Knock me out (knock me out),
Knock me out (knock me out).
Cause I’ve waited for all my life,
To be here with you tonight.

I want a girl with lips like morphine,
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping.
And I wanna feel that lightning strike me,
And burn me down.

Knock me out (knock me out),
Knock me out (knock me out).
Cause I’ve waited for all my life,
To be here with you tonight.
Just put me on my back,
Knock me out again.

I want a girl with lips like morphine,
Knock me out every time they touch me.
I want a girl with lips like morphine,
To knock me out.

See I’ve waited for all my life,
To be here with you tonight.
Just put me on my back,
Knock me out again.

I want more- Linda Eder

Day in and out what my life's all about
Are the things that you find far too boring
Washing and cooking and staying good-looking
While you get to do the ignoring
Will it ever be my turn to say where we're going?
Will it ever be my life that we're planning for?
I've been living this way for so long without growing
I want more

I need attention not mere condescension
But you just don't get the distinction
Pushing and shoving does not equal loving
Which seems on the brink of extinction
What became of the prince who was oh, so disarming?
What became of the sweet man at my beck-and-call?
Could it be that Prince Charming turned out not so
Charming
After all?

I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
I want more!

When did the me that I so long to be
Lose her natural sense of direction?
When did the you that I'm turning into
Get a trifle too tense for affection?
Can we ever get over
This thing about winning?
Can we ever recapture a moment that's past?
If we simply begin with a brand new beginning
Will it last? I want Shakespeare sonnets, I want oohs and aahhs
I want long-stem roses in a Gucci vase
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more relating
I want less debating
I want all that I've been waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
I want more!

I want to fly through that storybook sky
Where two people in love always travel
I want to be like some deep mystery
That you simply can't wait to unravel
I want to soar ten feet off the floor
When you walk through the door
Like I used to before...

I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
Give me more relating
Give me less debating
Give me all those things I'm waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
Really want me, if you want me...
I want more!
