DIVA 20 Extras – Annie Lennox Diva Album Lyrics

Why song lyrics

 

how many times do i have to try to tell you

that i’m sorry for the things i’ve done

but when i start to try to tell you

that’s when you have to tell me

hey…this kind of trouble’s only just begun

i tell myself too many times

why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

that’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words

that keep on falling from your mouth

falling from your mouth

falling from your mouth

tell me…

why

why

 

i may be mad

i may be blind

i may be viciously unkind

but i can still read what you’re thinking

and i’ve heard it said too many times

that you’d be better off

besides…

why can’t you see this boat is sinking

(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

let’s go down to the water’s edge

and we can cast away those doubts

some things are better left unsaid

but they still turn me inside out

turning inside out turning inside out

tell me…

why

tell me…

why

 

this is the book i never read

these are the words i never said

this is the path i’ll never tread

these are the dreams i’ll dream instead

this is the joy that’s seldom spread

these are the tears…

the tears we shed

this is the fear

this is the dread

these are the contents of my head

and these are the years that we have spent

and this is what they represent

and this is how i feel

do you know how i feel?

’cause i don’t think you know how i feel

i don’t think you know what i feel

i don’t think you know what i feel

you don’t know what i feel

Walking On Broken Glass song lyrics

 

You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew

But I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you

Since you’ve abandoned me

My whole life has crashed

Won’t you pick the pieces up

’cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass

 

Walking on walking on broken glass

 

The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky

But it don’t mean nothing to me

Oh let the rain come down

Let the wind blow through me

I’m living in an empty room

With all the windows smashed

And I’ve got so little left to lose

That it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass

 

Walking on walking on broken glass

 

And if you’re trying to cut me down

You know that I might bleed

Cause if you’re trying to cut me down

I know that you’ll succeed

And if you want to hurt me

There’s nothing left to fear

Cause if you want to hurt me

You’re doing really well my dear

 

Now everyone of us was made to suffer

Everyone of us was made to weep

But we’ve been hurting one another

And now the pain has cut too deep…

So take me from the wreckage

Save me from the blast

Lift me up and take me back

Don’t let me keep on walking…

Walking on broken glass

 

Walking on walking on broken glass

 

Precious song lyrics

precious little angel

take a look at what you’ve done

well I thought my time was over

but it’s only just begun

precious little angel

you’re my own sweet turtle dove

won’t you stay with us for ever

in a bundle full of love

 

 

i was lost until you came

precious little angel

 

won’t you spread your light on me

i was locked up in the darkness

now you’ve come to set me free

i was covered up with sadness

i was drowned in my own tears

i’ve been cynical and twisted

i’ve been bitter all these years

 

i was lost until you came

i was lost until you came

 

and wouldn’t I run a thousand miles to be with you

and wouldn’t I run a thousand miles to be with you

 

precious little angel

tell me how can it be true

that such a gift from heaven

has been sent for me and you

precious little angel

don’t you worry don’t you cry

when this bad old world has crumbled

i’ll be standing at your side

 

i was lost until you came

 

Legend In My Living Room song lyrics

 

When I was just seventeen I ran away from home

To be with all the pretty people

To be on my own

Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains

And pavements paved with gold

And I believed in everything that everybody told me

 

Have mercy

Have mercy upon me

 

I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams

and I soon grew up to realise what living in the doghouse means

 

But everyday I told myself good things would happen soon

‘Cause I knew that I was going to be a legend in my living room

 

Have mercy

Have mercy upon me

 

(Welcome to this perfect world)

 

Now everyday on a dead end street is where I spend my time

The dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind

But I’ve shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees

bloomed

To take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom

 

Have mercy

 

Cold song lyrics

 

come to me

run to me

do and be done with me

(cold cold cold)

don’t I exist for you

don’t I still live for you

(cold cold cold)

everything I possess

given with tenderness

wrapped in a ribbon of glass

time it may take us but God only knows

how I’ve paid for those things in the past

 

dying is easy it’s living that scares me to death

i could be so content hearing the sound of your breath

cold is the color of crystal the snowlight

that falls from the heavenly skies

catch me and let me dive under under

for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

 

i want to be with you baby

slip me inside of your heart

don’t I belong to you baby

don’t you know that nothing can tear us apart

come on now come on now come on now

telling you that

i loved you right from the start…

but the more I want you the less I get

ain’t that just the way things are…

 

winter has frozen us

let love take hold of us

(cold cold cold)

now we are shivering

blue ice is glittering

(cold cold cold)

 

cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight

that falls from the heavenly skies

catch me and let me dive under

for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

 

Money Cant Buy It song lyrics

 

money can’t buy it…baby

sex can’t buy it…baby

drugs can’t buy it…baby

you can’t buy it…baby

 

i believe that love alone might do these things for you

i believe in love alone yea yea

take the power to set you free

kick down the door and throw away the key

give up your needs…

your poisoned seeds

find yourself elected to a different kind of creed

 

i believe that love alone might do these things for you

i believe that love alone might do these things for you

i believe in the power of creation

i believe in the good vibration

i believe in love alone yea yea

 

won’t somebody tell me what we’re coming to

it might take forever till we watch those dreams come true

all the money in the world won’t buy you peace of mind

you can have it all but you still won’t be satisfied

 

money can’t buy it…baby

sex can’t buy it…baby

drugs can’t buy it…baby

you can’t buy it…bab

 

now…

hear this

pay attention to me

’cause I’m a rich white girl and it’s plain to see

i got every kind of thing that the money can buy

let me tell you all about it

let me amplify

i got diamonds

you heard about those

i got so many that I can’t close my safe at night in the dark

lying awake in a sick dream

 

i believe that love alone might do these things for you

i believe that love alone might do these things for you

i believe in the power of creation

i believe in the good vibration

i believe in love alone yea yea

 

Little Bird song lyrics

 

i look up to the little bird

that glides across the sky

he sings the clearest melody

it makes me want to cry

it makes me want to sit right down

and cry cry cry

 

i walk along the city streets

so dark with rage and fear

and I…

i wish that I could be that bird

and fly away from here

i wish I had the wings to fly away from here

 

but my my I feel so low

my my where do I go?

my my what do I know?

my my we reap what we sow

they always said that you knew best

but this little bird’s fallen out of that nest now

i’ve got a feeling that it might have been blessed

so I’ve just got to put these wings to test

 

for I am just a troubled soul

who’s weighted…

weighted to the ground

give me the strength to carry on

till I can lay this burden down

give me the strength to lay this burden down

down down yea

give me the strength to lay it down

 

but my my I feel so low

my my where do I go?

my my what do I know?

my my we reap what we sow

they always said that you knew best

but this little bird’s fallen out of that nest now

i’ve got a feeling that it might have been blessed

so I’ve just got to put these wings to test

 

Primitive song lyrics

 

Sweetheart

The sun has set

All red and primitive above our heads

Blood stained on an ageless sky

Wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry

Let them all run dry

All run dry…

 

Sweetheart

Take me to bed

That’s where all our prayers are said

Whispered silent in the night

That’s how all our dreams take flight

Let them all go by

All go by…

 

For time will catch us in both hands

To blow away like grains of sand

Ashes to ashes rust to rust

This is what becomes of us

 

Sweetheart

Send me to sleep

Pray to God our hopes to keep

Take our fears and make us strong

Lead us to where we belong

And let it all go by

All go by…

Primitive Love

 

Stay by Me song lyrics

 

Stay by me

And make the moment last

Please take these lips

Even if I have been kissed

A million times

 

And I don’t care if there is no tomorrow

When I could die here in your arms

Even if the stars have made us blind

We’re blind we’re blind

So blind in love

 

Sweet darling

Don’t you know that we’re no different to anyone

We stumble

We falter

But we’re no different that anyone

 

And all the winter snow has melted down

Into a pool of silver water

And we’re standing in a thunder cloud

Dark as your hair

Dark as your hair

 

The Gift song lyrics

 

Darling don’t you understand

I feel so ill at ease

The room is full of silence and it’s getting hard to breathe

Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free

Take this overcoat of shame

It never did belong to me

It never did belong to me

 

I need to go outside

I need to leave the smoke

‘Cause I can’t go on living in this same sick joke

It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist

Now that you have given me the perfect gift

You have given me the gift

 

For we have fallen from our shelves

To face the truth about ourselves

And we have tumbled from our trees

Tumbled from our trees

 

And I can almost…

I can almost feel the rain falling

Don’t you know it feels so good

So let’s go out into the rain again

Just like we said we always would

 

Keep Young and Beautiful song lyrics

 

What’s cute about little cutie?

It’s her beauty, not brains…

Old father time will never harm you

if your charm still remains…

 

After you grow old baby,

you don’t have to be a cold baby…

 

Keep Young and Beautiful,

It’s your duty to be beautiful…

keep young and beautiful,

if you want to be loved.

 

Don’t fail to do your stuff

with a little powder and a puff.

 

Keep young and beautiful if you want to be loved.

 

If you’re wise, exercise all the fat off,

take it off, off of here, off of there…

when you’re seen anywhere with your hat off,

wear a Marcel wave in your hair…

 

Take care of all those charms,

and you’ll always be in someone’s arms

keep young and beautiful if you want to be loved.

 

Step By Step song lyrics

 

Step by step

Bit by bit

Stone by stone yeah

Brick by brick

 

Step by step

Day by day

Mile by mile oooh

Now don’t you slip away

Don’t you go too far

‘Cause when I close my eyes

I know who you are.

 

 

You are the dark emotion

That makes me hold my breath

Just like the silent water

Upon the ocean’s depth.

 

Don’t you slip away

Don’t you go too far

‘Cause when I close my eyes

I know who you are.

 

It’s just the fear of falling

That makes my lose my grip

It’s just the fear of falling

That makes my fingers slip.

 

Step by step

Bit by bit

Stone by stone yeah

Brick by brick

 

Step by step

Day by day

Mile by mile oooh

Go your way

 

Baby don’t give up

You’ve gotta hold on to what you’ve got

I said baby don’t give up

You’ve gotta keep on moving, don’t stop, yeah

Just like a new excursion (I know you’re hurting)

Upon an open road (I know you do)

I’ve got the will to take me (I know you’re hurting)

Just where I want to go (don’t let the bad thing get to you)

 

C’mon baby keep moving on

C’mon baby keep on

Keep up…
