Melissa Etheridge - Angel - lyrics

I met an angel on the street this morning
Maybe it was late last night
You see I haven't been to sleep
There's music in my feet
And I haven't stopped to think about it twice
Oh yeah
Well you wouldn't recognize her this angel
Oh for she's not the celestial type
She had no pair of wings
I don't even think she sings
And the words that she spoke were no heavenly hype
Somehow she knew that I'd been thinking about you
Somehow she knew the city held no light
Somehow she knew that I just needed a reason
To tell you the things that I feel in the night
Oh let it show
If you love them then let them know
Oh let it show
If you love them then let them know
Well that was all that she said she had for me
All that she'd been sent down to say
So she straightened up her rags
And she walked off with her bags
Back into her city jail
Away oh yeah
So this is how I've come to you this morning
To tell you of a secret in my heart
I'll bring it to your feet
I'll dance it in the street
You know I love you
I love you, I love you
Oh Oh
Somehow she knew that I'd been thinking about you
Somehow she knew the city held no light
Somehow she knew that I just needed a reason
To tell you the things that I feel in the night
Oh let it show
If you love them then let them know
Oh let it show
If you love them then let them know
Oh let it show
I met an angel yeah
So let it show

Melissa Etheridge - The Letting Go - lyrics

I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place
I have held the winters son
Become one
Set my pace
Isnt that what we wanted all along
Freedom like a stone
But I can say goodbye
Now that the passions died
Still it comes so slow
The letting go
Piece by piece I take apart
This complicated heart
And I hope to find
Something I can prove is real
I can feel is truth
I can say is mine
Thats all I ever wanted to be
The closer that I got
The further I could see
But when lovers change
And the night feels strange
We choose our road
The letting go
I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place

Melissa Etheridge - 2001 - lyrics

Well Ive been looking
Looking for an answer
Somebody promised me one
And Ive been waiting
Waiting for the chance
Well somebody said it would come
Wake me up when we hit 2001
Ive been talking
Talking to the maker
Of the compromise
They said shes fine
Call the undertaker
You shouldnt look surprised
Wake me up when we hit 2001
Its barely alive with a story at five
So turn your video on
We live in these years dark age of fear
Meet me in 2001
I saw my sister
Saw the ones who twist her
A social suicide
If looks could kill
Each and every cheap thrill
Could be a homicide
Wake me up when we hit 2001
Its barely alive with a story at five
So turn your video on
We live in these years dark age of fear
Meet me in 2001
Ive searching
Searching for a reason
To either fight or fly
Either way patriot or treason
Its gonna be one long hard ride
Wake me up when we hit 2001

Melissa Etheridge - An Unexpected Rain - lyrics

First Time I Saw You
Back In 1982
An La Bar
I've Come So Far
In My Kansas Dancing Shoes
I'm Just A Singer
And I'm Looking For A Song
Do You Want To Sing Along?
Two Greyhounds Later
And I'm Feeling Alright
I've Got To Have You
And It Must Be Tonight
Come On Back To My Place
Well, It's Really Just A Room
But I'll Be Making Some Money Soon
Goodbye And Thank You
Oh, My Number, Yeah- Please Phone
Two Or Three Weekends
On The 405 Alone
You Say Come On And Stay
And When You Sing Down At The Bar
It Will Not Be So Far
[chorus:]
And I Tried To Do My Best
I Never Meant To Hurt No-one
I Was Waiting For My Break
That I Knew One Day Would Come
And I'd Plug In My Guitar
And I'd Look Out Across The Room
And I'd Dig Into My Heart
And I'd Try To Sing The Truth
And I Know I Did My Best
I Never Meant To Hurt No-one
As I Recall
Back In 1982
I Never Said Goodbye Or Why
I Just Left A Note For You
Then One Night I Saw You
Across The Road,
Across The Dark
A Shameful Spear Into My Heart
Your Look Was Haunting
An Unexpected Pain
I Am So Sorry
For The Unexpected Rain
The Sadness That You Kissed
The Fresh Scars On Your Wrist
I Can't Make It Go Away
[chorus]
Good Night Ladies
Good Night
I'm Gonna Leave You Now,
Good Night Ladies
Good Night
I'm Gonna Leave You Now.
(sleep Tight)

Melissa Etheridge - An Unusual Kiss - lyrics

Its 1:25 a.m. I think Ive seen that look somewhere before
1:25 a.m. I thought that you were headed for the door
Then something touched my skin
I wont ask you to leave here any more
Was it the talk or the drink or the dance that led to this
Was I so naive presuming the innocence
Well its 1:54 and its such an unusual kiss
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Come on come on come on
We all wanted this
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Its such an unusual kiss
The smell the taste the touch is so brand new
The thrill of the eyes that capture this forbidden view
Its 2:45 and youll have some explaining to do
Its 3:17 a.m. please let me into your eyes
Its 4:23 and I try to hold on as you rise
Ill give you all that I have if thats what you want me to try
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Come on come on come on
We all wanted this
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Its such an unusual kiss
Its 5:26 a.m. Ive got nothing left that I can say
5:26 a.m. black and white has melted into grey
My baby draws the shades as the taxi pulls away
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Come on come on come on
We all wanted this
Come on come on come on
Over and over
Its such an unusual kiss

Melissa Etheridge - Angels Would Fall - lyrics

The rope thats wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
Its better that way
So Ill come by and see you again
Ill be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
Theres no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
Ive crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
Ive dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So Ill come by and see you again
Ill be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
Ill come by and see you again
Ill have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
Ill just turn around and go
You will never know my sin

Melissa Etheridge - Ain't It Heavy - lyrics

Sometimes I know that its never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and Im on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
Theres some things you cant deny
What is it about this human condition
I need some kind of promise
Some kind of submission tonight
Heavy
Aint it heavy
Aint the night heavy
Im feelin kinda loose Im feelin kinda mean
Ive been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
Theres a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
Ive been ripping out seams
Somebody else made tonight
Heavy
Aint it heavy
Aint the night heavy

Melissa Etheridge - Goodnight - lyrics

I washed the dishes poured out the old wine
Called a new friend for the second time
Its not bad this brand new life
Its clean and its sharp like a brand new knife
I pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound turn off the light
Close my eyes and I quietly whisper
Goodnight
Youre not here youre not even there
Out of my heart out of my hair
I cant roll away with this missing piece
You could only ever want what I could never ever be
How can I be okay if Im pulling away
All the things that held together my life
All I want tonight is to touch you and kiss you
But I only wish you
Goodnight

Melissa Etheridge - A Lot Like You - lyrics

My friends, they're so worried
Oh they say girl there's something definitely wrong
It ain't natural to go from one to another
Lover to lover moving along
They don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they feel a lot like you
When they hold me and they tell me that they love me
Baby they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
I guess I could say I don't know right from wrong
When the truth is that I just don't care
Since you left me I've got to get back to that feeling
Somehow somewhere
A little bit here and a little bit there
Well it helps to take away this emptiness that burns deep inside
Oh I think if I gather enough pieces
I can put together some kind of pride
I don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they feel a lot like you
When they hold me and they tell me that they love me
Baby they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
They don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they feel a lot like you
When they hold me and they tell me that they love me
Baby they feel a lot like you
When they kiss me and they touch me say they want me
Yeah they don't know
It takes 10 of their kisses to make 1 of yours
10 times baby oh they feel a lot like you
Sometimes if I close my eyes
If I close my eyes baby
They feel a lot like you

Melissa Etheridge - All American Girl - lyrics

She wakes up in the morning
With a pain in her jet black head
A decaf coffee in her hand
And a marlboro red
She drives down to the office
In her japanese car
With the radio blasting
She dreams of taking it too far
But today shell pay the bills
She wont think about the thrills
That pass away
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
Her eyes are black as leather
And her hair is killer red
How could she keep the baby
When she can barely keep her head
She dont owe nobody nothing
And she aint on the street
But these drinks are getting heavy
And these lips are getting weak
She dont understand
Why she cant climb out of the sand
And break away
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
Her lover never came home
And its half past three
Today her best friend told her
Hes hiv
Somethings gotta give somewhere
Forcing circles into squares
She keeps pushing on
Shes an all american girl
An all american girl
And she will live and die in this mans world
An all american girl
