Charlotte Martin kick
For most of these, I just grabbed excerpts from the songs.
Charlotte Martin, lyrics excerpts
Sweet Chariot
And he judged my love, my lust, my taste with the straightest face As I crumple up inside--A papier-mache, a shell with no name
Sweet chariot, Come, come, take me away from my fear. Sweet chariot, Come, I have to get out of here.
Sweet chariot, Can we leave him a trail of my tears? Sweet chariot, It's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot, Come, I have to get out of here.
On Your Shore
I dig my heels into the dirt cause this one's gonna hurt. Won't let the waves wash me away is what I always pray
In my heart I know you didn't see in the dark or find your way through me. Now I'm alone, my hands are numb, how do I carry on?
Here I am in my insecurity. Here I am with my damaged dignity. Here I am you're pulling me in too deep.
Here I am I'm in the mercy seat. Here I am Running without my feet. Here I am Oh what's come over me.
When I was melting in your hand you didn't understand. You slip through me like grains of sand, you still don't understand.
Overboard, I'm thrown out to see what you are and what I mean to me. But I wll always have my dream where you can swim to me.
Every Time It Rains
Every time it rains I listen to the sky. I wonder what's so great about sunshine.
So everybody lives and everybody dies. And no one's gonna love you like I do.
When it was getting dark I didn't need a match, I never needed light to see you.
You thought I'd disappear but I was always here, oh, I could never get that far from you
I misunderstand, and been misunderstood. Love me cause you can and not because you should.
Every time it rains I know it's good to be alive. And Every time it rains I know I'm trying to survive.
So take it as it comes and take me as I am. I never was a good imposter.
But I know how to dream and don't know where I stand. I'm willing to admit I try too hard.
Stop playing with my heart. I'm waiting by the phone==Afraid to be myself, afraid to be alone.
Girl I Left Behind
The girl I left behind me was bad at being good. The happiest arsonist that ever was, The happiest communist that ever was
The girl I left behind me-you said she wouldn't do. I know who I want to be-I want to be like you. So why do I change myself to be worthy of you?
She's a needer, A bleeder, And likes to be on top. She's a girlfriend, A whirlwind, And not so logical.
But she's an ocean in motion And magical but you won't let her shine
The girl I left behind me, We've spoken once or twice. She says I have twice her strength well isn't that nice. She says I can call her anywhere or any time.
You watch me as I fall apart for you. Watch me as I waste myself and I waste myself and I waste myself.
Parade On
Her hands are in the air again Stripped of pride. She was waiting for a sign to be let in. She tried to stop a train for him Without shoes. And he was so amused.
You wonder why she gives and gives Till it burns And there is nothing he can give her in return. She'll live and die by make-believe, Her frozen heart
Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart.
The distance won't know which way you should go 'Cause we are not built so we can float. We are what we are But that seems so far. Parting the Red Sea is easier.
It's time to introduce herself. She's dethroned Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf.
She needs a reason to parade on. She needs a new road to pave. She needs a reason to parade on. It's wearing her outsides thin.
There's someone there to save, oh, And there's nothing I can say.
