Marti 's Solo Lyrics (Come Back Home Is Dedicated Hurricane Katrina) In 2005
Still Standing
I got the money now
All the fame that one could hope for
Here in this world
Couldn’t ask for more
But sometime ago baby
I was nowhere and then you left me
And walked out the door
Woh no. Updated June 15th 2008
Ya left me so low
I couldn’t even cry
But I made it somehow
And I still wonder why
That I am …
Still standing
Still standing
Through all the storms
That lifes been handing
Somehow I survived
Still standing here
I’d like to thank y'all
When I was down and out
I couldn’t find a friend
Every door that I knocked on
They wouldn’t let me in
Oh no.
The very same ones
That turned me away
The same ones that laughed at me
But I had no place to stay
Gone and left me so low
With all the fame I had
They gathered around and around
And then again listen now
Still standing
Still standing
Through all the storms
That lifes been handing
Somehow I survived
I'm still standing here
I’d like to thank y'all
‘Cos I’m still standing
Still standing
Through all the storms
That lifes been handing
Somehow I survived
I’m still standing here
I’d like to thank y'all
When people do you wrong
Ah, It feels a like real bad weather
Don’t let them make you bitter
Let them make you better
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let them make you better
I’m still standing
Still standing
Through all the storms
That lifes been handing
Somehow I survived
I’m still standing here
I’d like to thank y'all
Still standing
Still standing
Through all the storms
That lifes been handing
Somehow I survived
I’m still standing here
I’d like to thank y'all
Labelled With Love
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,
The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
The postman delivers the final reminders
She sells off her silver and poodles in china.
Drinks to remember, I me and myself
And winds up the clock
And knocks dust from the shelf
Home is a love that I miss very much
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.
During the war time an american pilot
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
She moved to his prairie and married the texan
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
He became drinker and she became mother
She knew that one day shed be one or the other,
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.
He like a cowboy died drunk in his slumber
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
She moved home alone without friends or relations
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
On moth eaten armchairs shed say that shed sod all
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.
Hard To Cry
One flake of snow
does not mean its winter
one ray of light
does not mean its day
the tree may fall
its silence will linger
but I may not see
you walk away
How far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
One tear falls down
your face in my arms
I hear the sound
of your beating heart
I'm lost in embrace
I'm lost in affection
one feeling ends
another will start
How far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
The law has been laid down
the rules can't be changed now
its all been one season
with nothing but rain
there's been no justice
there's no release
from this moment
this moment is pain
One open road
does not mean a journey
when we share the load
the day seems so light
the night bird will sing
its song will not hurt me
I want you to know
I love you tonight
But how far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
One flake of snow
does not mean winter
one ray of light
does not mean a day
the tree may fall
its silence will linger
now I don't need
to walk away
now I don't need-to walk away
The Missing Sound
The notes in my life
were so out of time
then you came to me
and not a moment too soon
now the song I sing
has no reason or rhyme... oh baby
you've filled in the parts
that I never seemed to find
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
in my life
you make my life complete
Until you came along
I searched the world in vain
all my songs of love
were a sad refrain
but you changed my tune
put it perfectly in time.. oh baby
you showed me the way
and you opened up my mind
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
in my life
you make my life complete
Your love fills me up
and it's music to my ears... oh baby
the sound of my love
playing on through the years
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
from my life
you make my life complete
you are the missing sound
from my life
the missing part of me
Come Back Home
And though you are so far away
You're close to me
I feel your love inside of me
I feel your breath against my cheek
It gives me hope inside
You build me up
So I am strong
I can hear the sound of your heart beating
It keeps on telling me
To come back home
I can hear the sound of your heart weeping
The tears that you're crying, lord, are gonna bring me home.
I hear the sound of a symphony
As it plays our song
A song of love from me to you
The songbird sings its melody
It keeps reminding me of you, reminding me of you
That I still want you by my side
I can hear the sound of your heart beating
It keeps on telling me
To come back home
I can hear the sound of your heart weeping
The tears that you're crying, lord, they're gonna bring me home.
I never thought I would be in love with someone like you
I never thought I'd find true love in you
That's why I'm coming home to you
I can hear the sound of your heart beating
It keeps on telling me
To come back home
I can hear the sound of your heart weeping
The tears that you're crying, lord, they're gonna bring me home.
They're gonna bring me home
Gonna bring me home
The tears that you're crying, lord, they're gonna bring me home.
Songs released between 2001 & 2006 and some performed on Marti's 2006 Tour.
Wet Wet Wet Lyrics
ANGEL EYES ( HOME & AWAY)
I pay the price for cheap advice
Sick of leaving in the morning
With the night you gave away
So now I'm gonna take out all that I can get
With those angel eyes you make saints
Do sins all the time
Say I'm gonna stay, home and away
When I said I'd catch you when you're falling
I'd have my heart open wide
And you who's not naive I thought
People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
But when I'm down I'm in manual
Time and time again I walk on by
With the look of love
And with those angel eyes
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes
Oh now baby
The saddest thing I've ever seen on my tv-screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
The thoughest thing I've ever heard
Was that newborm scream in this naked world
People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
But when I'm down I'm in manual
Time and time again I walk on by
With the look of love
And with those angel eyes
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes
Oh now baby
Gonna tell the world, gonna tell the world
Gonna tell the world, gonna tell the world
I love her
Gonna tell the world, gonna tell the world
Gonna tell the world, gonna tell the world
I love her
Say I'm gonna stay, home and away
Should a little love gonna make you smile, girl
Say I'm gonna stay, home and away
People say that I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
But when I'm down I'm in manual
Been all around love's edges
But I've never been in love
Never been in love before
Never been in love, never been in love
And with those angel eyes
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes
You set me on fire, fire
And with those angel eyes
And with those angel eyes
And with those angel eyes
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
STAY WITH ME HEARTACHE
Here I am
I want you to know that I understand
What it is you're giving me
I've got it all brand new
Here we are
Put up a show of hands
But I've got the feeling that
They don't know what they're gonna do
Oh we don't live there no more
We've got the room on the second floor
Oh we don't live there no more
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Think about the people in the foreign lands
Think about the dirty money in my hands
Think I know the reason why it doesn't work out right
Think of all the needy with a helping hand
Think of all the greedy people in our land
Think they know the reason why it doesn't work out right
Oh I don't live there no more
I've got the suite on the penthouse floor
Oh I don't live there no more
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Oh I don't live there no more
I've got the suite on the penthouse floor
Oh I don't live there no more
See my pride
Been looking for it once or twice
Lost my pride
I'm really gonna make it right
Oh I don't live there no more
I've got no room on the penthouse floor
Oh I don't live there no more
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Stay with me heartache
So I can keep it right
Another day with the heartache
You know I can't stand the night
Stay with me heartache
LOVE IS ALL AROUND
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
Cos on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I cannot get to thinking
Of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
Cos on my love you can depend
I got to keep it moving
It's written on the wind
Oh everywhere I go
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on, come on, come on, come on, let it show, baby
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show
ITS NOW OR NEVER
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow
Will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured
My soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that your near
The time is here at last
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow
Will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
Just like a willow
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when
We'll meet again this way
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow
Will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait
DON''T WANT TO FORGIVE ME NOW
She's gonna leave me on my own again
I guess it happens every now and then
She closes her eyes and says goodnight
God only knows the reason why
We get together, we fall apart again
Don't want to forgive me now
You want to forget
But I know I'll be happy in your heart
She spends her time so easy
She casts the spell to tease me
She's on the make, she's out of touch
My heart she breaks, much too much
When we're together, we fall apart again
Don't want to forgive me now
You want to forget
But I know I'll be happy in your heart
In the warmth of a winter morning
The thorn and the kiss
The rose in a withered garden
But truth and love's like this
She makes it look so easy
Her sugar smile deceives me
She closes her eyes and says goodnight
God only knows the reason why
We get together to fall apart again
Don't want to forgive me now
You want to forget
But I know I'll be happy in your heart
I hope that you're happy now
And you can forgive me
And I know I'll be happy in your heart
hey hey hey
FOOL FOR YOUR LOVE
I heard a story all about you
That someone started
Maybe I can learn to give my cheek another turn
So I'll drink your point of view
Blur my vision my feelings too
Sometimes I don't see, what your loving means to me
She's acting strangely, says her whole world started to turn
She's got a broken heart, she's good at playing the part
I've been tricked again, I've been a fool for your love
Everytime I got it made
You come and burn it all down down
Was it something that I said?
Don't say a word, don't say anything
Don't even make a sound
And hear the rumours scream and shout
She's acting strangely, says her whole world started to turn
She's got a broken heart, she's good at playing the part
I've been tricked again, I've been a fool for your love
I remember the time when I first met her
Since that night I've been trying to hold it together
I heard a story all about you
You come and burn it all down down
Don't say anything
And hear the rumours scream and shout
I'm acting crazy, 'cos my whole world started to turn
I've got a broken heart, I stand and play the part
I've been tricked again, I'm still a fool for your love
