Joe Cocker lyrics
Album: No Ordinary World [2000]
| First We Take Manhattan | |
|
(Leonard Cohen)
They Sentanced Me To Twenty Years Of Boredom
For Trying To Change The System From Within
I'M Coming Now
I'M Coming To Reward Them
First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin
I'M Guided By A Signal In The Heavens
I'M Guided By The Birthmark On My Skin
I'M Guided By The Beauty Of Our Weapons
First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin
I'D Really Like To Live Beside You Baby
I Love Your Body And Your Spirit And Your Clothes
But You See That Line That'S Moving
Through The Station
I Told You
I Told You
I Told You I Was One Of Those
I Don'T Like Your Fashion Business Mister
I Don'T Like Those Drugs That Keep You Thin
I Don'T Like What Happened To My Sister
First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

| Different Roads | |
|
(Stever A. Davis/Steve Duberry)
Tonight I Walk These City Streets And
I Think About The Past
When You Where Mine And Our Love Was Forever
I Never Thought That You Would Go
Never Dreamed That You Would Leave
Now The Taste I Have Is Bitter Sweet
I Know You Had To Go And Find That New Horison
Your Star Was Calling Endlessly
In My Heart I Can Only Wish You Well
I Hope You Find Your Every Dream
We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not Change
Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road
That Old Rivers Turning
But Is It Going Anywhere
Maybe Like Me It'S Trying To Find It'S Way Back Home
But All Alone Can My Heart Rest
How Will My Eyes Begin To Trust
I Only Want The Best For The Both Of Us
Maybe Somewhere In A Different Time Or Space
We'Ll Find A Place Where We Can Stay
I'Ll Hold That Moment
Forever And For Always
I'Ll Never Be That Far Away
We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not Change¥.. Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road
Time Has Been My Only Friend
The Truth Is Like A Knife
It Cuts Right Through You
I Didn'T Want To Loose You
We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not Change¥.. Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road

| My Father's Son | |
|
(Conner Reeves/Graham Lyle)
Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M
My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father'S Done
If He'D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody'D Have My Heart In Chains
Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind I'D Never Fall That Way
But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It'S Goodbye
I Can'T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart I Know I Want To Stay
What I'M Trying To Say
Heart Over Mind
Yes I'M My Father'S Son
Yes I'M Inclined To Do
As My Fathers Done
Here I Am With You
And I Know That It'S True
Despite All The Feelings
Your Putting Me Through
I Try To Alk Away, Something Makes Me Stay
Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M
My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father'S Done
But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It'S Goodbye
I Can'T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart, I Know I Want To Stay, Never Run Away
My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, As My Father'S Done
If He'D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody Would Have My Heart In
Chains Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind, I'D Never Fall That Way
But It'S Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M My Father'S Son

| While You See a Chance | |
|
(Winwood/Jennings)
Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning,
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave
you even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you
|
| She Believes in Me | |
|
(Adams/Kennedy)
'm tossing and turning and I can't get to sleep
Got something on my mind I just can't release
Then she whispers so softly that she believes in me
If I let her down and tried to disguise it
She always see's through it always replies that
No matter what I do she believes in me
All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me
Don't get me wrong I'm not some kind of fool
I'd give her my world if she asked me to
Cuz here's no denying she believes in me
But I'm only human I'm just a guy
That sometimes makes mistakes and I can't explain why
Some say she's crazy but she believes in me
All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me
She believes in me in what I do
She believes in me I need her too
She believes in God above
She believes when we make love
All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me

| No Ordinary World | |
|
(Steven A. Davis/Lars Anderson)
My Day Starts Off The Same
It Looks Like It Might Rain
But I Will Not Complain
Cause I Can See The Sun
I Say My Little Prayers
Running Down The Stairs
The Streets Are Going Nowhere
But I Don'T Care
Cause This Day Is Beautiful
Nothing'S Gonna Get Me Down
It'S No Ordinary World
When You'Re Here With Me
I Take The Time To Smile
I Have The Space To Breathe
It'S No Ordinary World
When You Walk With Me
I See Inside My Dreams
Every Diamond Every Pearl
It'S No Ordinary World
Everybody'S Got A Dream
Every Thought And Every Scheme
And All The Spaces In Between
To See The Clouds
But I Won'T Give It Too Much Time
To Get Inside My Mind
Cause All That Really Matters
Is Here And Now
When Your Laying Close To Me
(When Your Bodies Close To Me)
Your All The Joy I Need
Your Hand In Mine No
Reason To Take Our Time
Surrender To Love Like Good Religion
|
| Where Would I Be Now | |
|
(Michael MacDodald/Tony Joe White)
Verse 1
Something deep inside
Keeps me hanging on
Don't believe I've ever seen
A night so long
Guess I tried to fly
High above the clouds
But landed here in the morning rain
At your door
Chorus
I know I let you down again
But right now, you know I need a friend
I don't know why
I guess I just loose my way
Your eyes
Don't believe a word I say
I can't imagine without your love
Where would I be now
Verse 2
Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
and after all this time
It remains true
There's no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the veil of my pride
Sometimes it's hard to see
Chorus
And I know your love is all I need
So for now don't stop believing me
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now
Chorus
Cause I know your love
Is worth fighting for
And if it takes forever
I will wait at your door
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now

Yesterday, I Was Out In The Rain
Wondering When I'D See The Sun Again
Lonely Hearts, Baby, I Wrote The Book
Since She Walked Away Without A Second Look
Oh¥but Now I Feel Good
Cos' You Look At Me
The Way A Woman Should
I Feel My Soul Rising To A New Love
No Blues I Can'T Rise Above
I Feel My Soul Rising When I'M Close To You
When Your With Me Girl
There'S Nothing I Can'T Do
Yesterday I Was Falling Apart
Picking Up Pieces Of My Broken Heart
Yeah¥. But One Touch Of Your Healing Hand
24 Hours Later I'M A Whole New Man
Yeah, And I'M Stronger Now
Cos' You Make The World A Better Place Some How
I Feel My Soul Rising To A New Love
No Blues I Can'T Rise Above
I Feel My Soul Rising When I'M Close To You
When Your With Me Girl
There'S Nothing I Can'T Do
I Got Sunshine On A Brand New Day
And The Grey Clouds Have All Drifted Away
And There'S Nobody That I Can'T Be
If It'S You And Me
|
| Naked Without You | |
|
(B.Steinberger/R.Nowels/A.Roachford)
What have I done I've broke your heart
Now there's no sun just cold and dark
Without your smile I can't laugh
Without you baby I'm just a half
I didn't know what I had
I didn't know I'd feel this sad
But I feel
Naked without you
I feel naked without you
I feel naked without you
What have I done I've broke a vow
But I'm the one who's crying now
Without your touch I can feel
Without your forgiveness I can't heal
No body else can take your place
and if I don't see your angel face
Girl I feel naked without you
I'm still crazy about you
I feel naked without you
I hurt the one that really loved me
Don't look at me I feel ugly
Naked without you
I'm so tired that I can't sleep
I threw away a love so deep
I feel naked without you
I feel naked without you
Naked without you
I feel naked without you in my head
I feel naked without you in my bed
Naked without you hey baby
Naked without you and I feel
Naked without you

| Love to Lean On | |
|
(Diamond/Kirkpatrick)
You Can Make Your Point
I Can Disagree
But It Will Not Change
What You Mean To Me
Did It Go Too Far
Are We To The Edge
Is There Some Way I Can
Talk You Down From The Ledge
We Can Turn Away From Each Other
Or We Can Turn It Back Around
Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
We Can Make Some Changes
We Can Make This Work
We Can Fix What'S Broken
We Can Heal The Hurt
Take A New Direction
Now It'S Up To Us
What We Do In Anger We Can Do In Love
'Cause Anything That'S Worth The Having
Is Worth Fighting For
Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
Love To Lean On
On And On And On
Love To Keep Us Strong

| Love Made a Promise | |
|
(P.Brady/M.Neven)
Beached by the same tide when we met
Caught in a storm when we came together
I never needed someone like I needed you back then
I swear I believed it
I never lied to you
When I said what I said
I think you know it's the end of the story
You've been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn't keep
We run from the truth
But we end up nowhere
And everyone knows you can't run forever
It seems that just wanting something
Don't mean it's gonna be
We played by the rules
But times made liers of you and me
I think you know it's the end of the story
You've been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn't keep
So we find another way
To get through another night
And we spend the whole night dreaming
Another day will find a way to make it alright
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
