Chorus: I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ not to let the blues slip in I’m tryin’ and I’m tryin’ but they always win I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ not to let the blues slip in But here I am, feelin’ blue again Here I am, feelin’ blue again Why doesn’t everything go my way? Why don’t people do what I say? Why am I having a lousy day? I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ to feel o.k. Chorus Why does everything have to break? Why do I feel such heartache? Why do I make mistakes? I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ for goodness sake. Chorus Singin’ a song ain’t gonna take my blues away. Singin’ a song’s just gonna complicate. Why does everything make me mad? Why’s good fortune just a fad? Why’s it seem like I’ve been had? I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’, but still I’m sad. Chorus Chorus

Every Way 02:25
chorus: I wanna hold you - all night and day I wanna know you - in every way When I hear you callin I can't believe that you're real When you say you're hurtin I know just how you feel You got my head turnin baby just like a wheel Let's see if we can make it to my automobile chorus The time we're spendin now's been at the top of my list The way you caught my eye I just couldn't resist When that guy tried to grab you I wanted to give him my fist Now let me drive you home and maybe get a little kiss chorus I hate beggin baby but please please please Say the word you know I'll get down on my hands and knees I think I got a bad case of the lovin disease Wait a minute, wait a minute I can't find my keys chorus

Whatcha gonna do with your heart - Now that someone’s gone and torn it apart? Whatcha gonna do with your dreams - Now that they have come apart at the seams? Chorus: Gonna rock and roll – all day long. Gonna sing a song, ‘til the pain’s gone. Whatcha gonna do with your mind - Now that things seem so unkind? Whatcha gonna do with your brain - Now that you feel so insane? Chorus Whatcha gonna do with your hope - Now that you’re not sure how to cope? Whatcha gonna do with your faith - Now that you have lost your place? Chorus Whatcha gonna do with your love – Why don’t you use it to rise above? Whatcha gonna do with your soul – Why don’t you use it to rock and roll? Chorus

Bombs 02:39
While we were lying in our beds At dawn the bombs fell upon our heads Tore the mortal fabric of my brother and his sons Caused the walls to tremble, Trampled mountains in our world Chorus: Who’s to blame? Is it me for having played the game? Who’s to blame? What a shame. While my lover lies asleep I hear angry voices in the street Threats of thievery and blood and more I pray they don’t come knockin’ at my door Chorus On pavement cooling in the night Wheels not turning towards the fight Masks politicians wear are images of fear Distorted smiles and laughter Cannot hide the father’s tears Chorus

I Went Out 02:43
I went out, out by myself I took my hat off the shelf and fled I didn’t even make my bed I went out, out by myself I went out, nobody was there And I stood and stared Didn’t see anyone at all They hadn’t even taken the time to call I went out, out by myself I took my heart off the shelf, it bled So I fixed it with my head I went out, out by myself I went out to find my friends had gone So I wrote this song Can’t touch the deepest me inside I go out by myself with pride I’m not afraid to be alone Not gonna sit here by the dagburn phone And if they ever say sorry It’s too late, they’ve lost a part of me I went out, out by myself I went out and danced in the sunshine Of my special life I went out, out by myself I went nobody was there And I didn’t care All the wonders of the world For an independent girl Yes I am

Yellow Trees 02:35
the yellow trees and the bluest sky there's no good reason to be inside you are here and i hold you close for any moment we could turn to ghosts The things you're sayin', such a heavy weight, that any moment we could pass away the leaves are falling down from the trees i see them floating off in the breeze just like them, we will float away not something i think about every day There are seasons, and constant change To read the book, you gotta turn the page i touch your breast and feel your heart beat i am so blessed to have you here with me seeing you in the autumn light i want to keep you through winter's nights We're hangin' on by a tiny thread, and in this mystery our souls are fed i know the cycles we lose, we gain i know that death is sure as rain but in the moment all there is is you the yellow trees and the skies so blue the yellow trees and the skies so blue

Chorus: I never was a cool one, I, never was I I never was a cool one, I, never was I Never had the right clothes, never had the right friends, never said the right things never was I Always got good grades, always did my homework, the teachers all liked me never was I Never had a boyfriend, never went steady, never got a date to the movies never was I Didn’t wear name brands, always had bad hair, had to wear headgear never was I Never wore a two piece, always wore tube socks, didn’t like pop rocks never was I Didn’t like sports, didn’t have the right hobbies, couldn’t play Pac-Man never was I Didn’t make cheerleading, couldn’t wear make-up, never got in trouble never was I Listened to Purple Rain, thought it would corrupt my brain, but I liked it just the same never was I Tried to sniff airplane glue, couldn’t do the Rubix Cube, had white Ked shoes never was I Read Little House on the Prairie and became a vegetarian, back then it wasn’t very in never was I 99 Red Balloons, talked on the phone in my room, wished I could grow up soon never was I

Tryin’ to spend a few moments of my day Just singin’, singin’ my troubles away Just singin’, singing’ my troubles away ‘Til the song is the only thing that stays I can sing about my pain And the days of endless rain And the nights of freezing cold When the song is the only thing to hold Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh way? So much injustice in this life So many things that just aren’t fair So I sing a song about despair There are things that make me sad Some things are really bad And I can’t make them right Sometimes a song brings a little light Just a little light

Found a reason let me explain Found a reason to dance in the rain Found a reason it’s good, it’s great Found a reason to celebrate Found a reason to celebrate Chorus: Found a reason to Laugh out loud To feel lucky To be proud To sing a song And know where I belong Found a reason and it makes me high Found a reason write it in the sky Found a reason it’s so worthwhile Found a reason all I do is smile Found a reason all I do is smile Chorus Found a reason, I found something Makes me laugh, smile, dance and sing Can it be true? Found a reason and it’s so right Found a reason to be alive Found a reason and yes, it’s true Found a reason and it is you Found a reason and it is you Chorus

Move You 04:16
Chorus: Nobody’s gonna love you, baby like I do. Nobody’s gonna move you – Shake it pretty baby to the worn out groove. Nobody’s gonna love you, baby like I do. Nobody’s gonna move you – Shake it pretty baby to the worn out groove. When the needle hits the wax, I feel so alive Give me 45 or 33 rpm so I can hear that jive Take that dirty brown paper off of the shiny black Put the record on the spindle and jump back baby jump back Chorus Poppin’ and crackin’ of the speaker box Round and round on the time machine Plays the songs of the soulful ghost Makes dancers work up a steam Gold sparkle shoes on a cold tile floor The dancers are keeping time Cut out the lights and shut the door Gonna have a real good time Chorus
