Roches - Abcs - lyrics

You wont find me here
Im far away ... far away
And even though Im lying here
Im far away ... far away
Riding on my bicycle
My hearts up in the air
Im everywhere
I know Im beautiful
Your wedding ring and pants are on the floor
They are not real ... I do not feel you
Youre scaring me ... you lock the door
I made a deal ... my lips are sealed
Stop calling out my name
You are taking me away
I am ashamed
Now I know my abcs
Next time therell be less of me
Now there are words like estrogen and wrinkling
Middle age women
A mirror woes ... where she been
So far away ... so yesterday
A voice was left behind ... a ghost ... a girl
Singing
If I am an oyster shell ... well ... wheres the pearl
I know my abcs
Therell be no next time for me

Roches - Another World - lyrics

By maggie, terre and suzzy roche
I dont feel that great today
I have never felt that great
Dont tell me to exercise
Dont tell me its what I ate
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby
Im the kind of person who
Likes to sleep all day and night
Too bad Im sleeping by myself
Nobodys here to hold me tight
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby
Think how good just normal feels
A helmet on my head
Constant flow of ice cream in
Id be as good as dead
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby
Theres got to be another world
Oh yeah oo oo oo baby

Roches - Broken Places - lyrics

Did you know me
Long ago
Were we close
Before the sorrow
If you thought of leaving any traces
Ill be sifting through the broken places
Did I know you
Once upon a time
You dreamed of me
And now im
Searching for myself in strangers faces
Stumbling onto further broken places
She turns purple
Am I blue
Cant she fathom
What I do
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places
I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until i
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places
I am young so
Whos to say
But for now i
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places
Cant there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places
I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places

Roches - Beautiful Love Of God - lyrics

Am I alone in this world
Can somebody hear me
Or be near me
Am I blind to the love
The beautiful love of god
Here I am
Standing before a crowd
Trying to belong
Terrified of hiding
Asking you to listen to my song
Asking you to listen to me
Am I alone in this world
A woman I know
I saw her in the street
She was selling books
No family no money
I could not find a way to say hello
I could not find a way to say hello
Am I alone in this world
Late last night
A man at the garbage can
Was picking through the crap
And the neighborhood boys
Starting beating him up with a baseball bat
Beating him up with a baseball bat
Am I alone in this world
Can somebody hear me
Or be near me
Am I blind to the love
The beautiful love of god

Roches - Born Yesterday - lyrics

I was born yesterday
Dont know nothin
Eyes open wide
Seem to be on a funny farm
Guess Ill go on the nanana
You got to roll roll roll roll
You got to roll roll roll roll roll
On the nanana
Its scrapin slow
Up to the top
I dont really like this
It dont seem right
Its on the top now
Zooming down down down
Looking around
Wont nobody stop this thing
You got to roll...
Some of the creatures laughing
With their hands up in the air
Others over the edge getting sick
One or two sitting quiet
And mad
Like they want their
Money back
They wanna get off
But you cant do that...no
You cant do that
You got to roll...
In my cherry apple cheeks
And my cotton candy
Mouth
And a stupid fuzzy hat
And a voice with which to shout
I got to roll. . .
Till the cows come home

Roches - Christlike - lyrics

He wants to be christlike and never be jealous
So he lets her go on about all the other fellas
But the animal in em awakes with a growl
And a skin em cannibal scowl
Skin em cannibal scowl
And a swing from the trees with his teeth like a chainsaw
Come near me Ill rake off your face with one paw
Watch me now Im beating my chest like a robber
Who steals from my meat as I rend and slobber
He sits in the plaza in tunic and sandals
Watching her bent over buying the candles
And he thinks hed like to take her from behind
Would the scribes and the pharisees mind?
Scribes and the pharisees mind
A woman approached me all bent and repentant
I blessed her and set her wherever she went
Will these followers ever stop doggin me now
That Ive thrown off this stone and got loose somehow?
A life that you try to put into a grave
Comes back every easter to haunt you and save
But my nature is wounded and bloodied and hung
From a cross for my sings and the sings of everyone
Oh those sins of everyone.
Im jealous goddamnit! Im christ and Im jealous
And angry and sad and oh father please tell us
Im human and God and Im animal too
As I listen to her going on about you

Roches - A Dove - lyrics

A dove
Settled on the sill
And I called my cat
Love
If looks could kill
And that was that
The glass
Of the windowpane
And away she flew
Over the grass
Glistenin in the rain
And on out of view
Over the buildings
Stone (w)rote cages
Where people live
Over the gilded
Old outrages
That we cant forgive
The moon
Hangin in the sky
Like a copper pan
A tune
Welling in her eye
Goin through cheyenne
The wing
Of an aeroplane
And away she flew
To sing
Searing in her brain
Your point of view
Over the mountains
Changing seasons
And the falling leaves
Long ago countin
Damn good reasons
Colors she believes
The phone
Ringin off the hook
Like a magic wand
My own
Let me take a look
In the polluted pond
Escapes
Arent all that bad
And away she threw
The tapes
And any chance she had
Of returning to
Over the heartache
Lucid dreaming
Of the lost way out
And if we are awake
Whos that screaming
What its all about

Roches - Blabbermouth - lyrics

Here comes the blabbermouth
Everybody hold on to your secrets
You better not let em out or the blabbermouths gonna tell.
Here comes the blabbermouth
Everybody hold on to your secrets
If you let the blabbermouth see it you know shes gonna tell.
Dont be so judgmental
How would you like to be her?
Everybody calling you yentl
Always creating a stir
Actually Im speaking about myself
Im the person this song is about
And its the loneliest feeling you ever felt
To have to be the blabbermouth
Its a crummy gig but someones gotta do it
A thing goes underground and it festers like a sore
Years go by and no one refers to it
But everyone involved is rotting at the core
From thinking and trying to escape it
And figuring out some way to feel okay
You write a song that just doesnt say and tape it
Dreaming it will be over with someday
But here comes the blabbermouth to send that thing around
The grapevine
Last I heard it was heading south with a whole new spin and
A different dateline.
Im glad I wasnt home to take my angry licks
When you called me on the phone regarding my latest antics
But arent you a little happy in the back of your mind
That you dont have to worry about a slip
When youre sitting with a friend drinkin some wine?
Dont you see I did you a favor button lip?

Roches - Bobby's Song - lyrics

Think hes got a crush on me
I saw the whole scene
What makes you think
Hes got a crush on you
Cause he played his song for me
I was sitting there too
What makes you think
He played those songs for you.
If his girlfriend wasnt there
He would have been free
To make it known that
Hes in love with me
He was in a plane crash
He plays the clarinet
Hes trying to stop drinking
But his girlfriend
Hasnt left him yet
Did you see the way he gazed at me
In between the notes he played
Its stupid to believe in stuff
That happens on a stage
Think you must be very drunk
Youre seeing double
Sober up or youre in big trouble
But did you see. . .
Bet he calls me up this week
When you werent looking
I slipped him my number
And then we kissed.

Roches - Breathing - lyrics

Whats wrong
Hold it a minute
Im happy
Send up a flare
Some of the dreams
I forgot
They came true
Im happy
Just to see you
Breathing
Fifteen years old
We made it
In from the cold
Lovey, where you were hardly alive
We had some biggies to climb
Im tired
Cant climb anymore
I see you put
One foot out the door
Go ahead open it
Find your way
You can come back home any day
Buy listen
Be who you are
And listen
To your own heart
Sometimes I listen to nothing
And hear
The secret of breathing
Out in the clear
Im happy
Hold it a minute
Please dear
Dont come home late
Tomorrow you have to clean up that mess
You left in your room
And she said yes
Breathing
Shes breathing
