Blue lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

They say we're in a state of emergency
So how come no one is panicking

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

Well, the paper doesn't cause too much of a fuss
Perhaps it's because it's not, it's not sad enough

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

You've never seen the colour blue

Call me in the morning, we'll go for toast and tea

Where were you when they broke the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

You've never seen the colour blue
You've never seen the colour blue

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Well you've never ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No you've never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No no no you've never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Never the seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No no you've never seen the colour blue, oh

You've never seen the colour blue

Dear Life lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

You'll never know how you run me down
And I don't even need you, no
And still you keep me holdin' on
Just for dear life

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If you live a loveless life
Just blame it on me
On the count of oblivion
I'm guilty

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

I'm over playin' with your massive ego
Still I keep on holdin' on for dear life

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

When you're cold and under the covers
Does it ever bother you
Do you remember how warm the truth is
How can you live without it

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
We've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
We've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Until We Die lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I could almost remember your face
When I heard your voice today
I could see your lips moving
At the other end of the receiver

It was almost a very good bye
But dialtones tend to make me cry
I call back within moments
You laugh and don?t even ask why

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

You don't see me but I feel so exposed
Each time there's a pause on the phone
I wish there was another button to press
So I could read your mind

In heaven we won't have to call
I'll be with you spring summer and fall
But for now soon you?ll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

So for now soon you'll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

Souls lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Messages from where I used to grow
Twenty thousand frames of mind
This is my soul

Relentless where I'm most alone
Twenty thousand faceless names
This is your show

And, oh, I feel
I am a wandering
A fleeting transient

Soul
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

Covenant we will always grow
Our skin will fade transcend beyond
All we've been told

I feel I am the wandering
A fleeting transient

Soul
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

And oh all I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

Heal me
I'm healed when you see me
You see me when you feel me

Souls
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

And oh all I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone

Before You lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
And now I think I'll get through

Now honey around you
I'm feelin' so good
'Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new

And baby before you, ho ho
There was just a black hole
Yeah I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn't even know

But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Oh ... ho ...
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ....
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ... ho ...
And now I think I'll get through

And now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through

M lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

They must mean business
To say there's nothing worse
Then to let your precious love child
Leave the planet first

'Cause, oh whoa whoa
They've gotta just let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time lose
And all the things you never ...

So I think we're gonna have to record her
Sometimes against her will
We're gonna keep her alive with black and whites
Colour moving and still

And then, oh whoa whoa
We've gotta just let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose

Soul Searching lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]

You were searching for a soul
Tearin' yourself apart just to become whole, oh
You were walkin' down the road
Only to find your reflection in the puddles below, oh oh

Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
I see that dangerous look in your eyes
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

[laugh]

In these circles you seem to go
Never finding the centre
Never finding your way home
And do you ever see yourself
When you look in the mirror
Or is it a reflection of everyone else

Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
I see that dangerous look in your eye
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

There's a part of me that wants to hold you
And tell you everything is gonna be OK
And there's a part of me that wants to shake you
And tell you there's no such thing as a soul anyway, hey hey

I see that dangerous look in your eyes
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

[laugh]

Oh, I don't need to know myself that well oh
Oh, I don't need to know you better today
Oh, I don't need to know myself that well
I don't need to anyway

Far Away lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Make me believe in you
Honestly for real, one thing true
Take me in, in your arms
Wandering alone seems so far

Let me know that you made it as far as forever, oh whoa
Let me know that you hear when I cry if you can

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little, oh

Let me know heaven sees
Shines on life our memories
Mmm, make me feel all that you are
Angel child or a radiant star

'Cause I know that we?ll meet up again in forever. oh
Let me know you?ll be waiting for me in the end

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little

Ha ... ha ... ah ... ah ah

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little, oh
Just a little

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh ...

Eve lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Eve is gone again
Back to her palace
Back to her island
Eve can smile again
And run 'round the hedges
In the Garden of Eden

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it's over darling

Oh, could I be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could I forgive
And could I die in my mother's arms
Like her

Eve's a child again
Sing her a lullaby
Read to her every night
Eve's in heaven
Plenty of friends are there
No one the enemy

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it's over darling

Oh, could I be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could I forgive
And could I die in my mother's arms
Like her
Like her
Like her

Like her ...
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her ...
Run just like before the overkill
Like her ...
Run the way you did it's over darling
Like her ...
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her ...
Run just like before the overkill
Like her ...
Run the way you did it's over darling

Could I die in my mother's arms
Like her

Little Things lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Misery's turning my luck around
Framed all the faces on my way down
I don't have a reason, a reason to lie
The dull pain is screaming to be left behind, oh

It's never easy to see your past
Unfold before you, the outcast
I don't have a reason, a reason to cry
Caterpillars turn into rare butterflies, oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and I'll be alright
Oh oh oh

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Humility's easing my ego down
The past holds the truth like a lost and found
There's no need to worry, no need to be scared
'Cause little things will come along and life's never fair, no
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them that I'll be alright
Oh oh oh

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Everything is gonna be ...
Everything is alright
Everything is gonna be ...
Everything is alright, is alright, is alright

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and we'll be alright
The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and I'll be alright
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da

God Made Me lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

(You got a quarter for your phone?)

I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true

This is the way God made me

No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball

This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me

No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame

This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am

Surrounded lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star

I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes

And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

Do do do do do do

I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, 'cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are

It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

But don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now

Do do do do do do do
Don't lose sight of me now

'Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call

So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now

You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose )
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose )
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
You know you're all around me, you're all around me
(Don't you lose )
I'm surrounded
(Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me, you're all around me
You surround me like a circle

I'm surrounded, oh

Ah ah, like a circle around me

La la la la la la la la

All around me now

Oh

Don't Be Good lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Well, I don't know when you learn it
But when you learn it you learn it fast
They're the ones who love to learn
And they're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last

They're waiting and wondering
Where did I go wrong

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work you see

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Well I don;t know when I learned it
But when I learned it I learned it fast
They;re the ones that love to love me
They're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last

They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't you be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work for me

Ah ah ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ...
Ah ...

Waiting and wondering, waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
They're waiting and wondering
Waiting and wondering, wondering

They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go, oh

Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good (don?t be good)
Though you should (though you should)
That won't work, you see
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't you be good to me (wondering where did I go wrong)
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work, you see
So don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good)
Don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good to me)

Don't be good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me
You're so good for me, good for me, good for me

Believer lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I carry my microphone with me
Everywhere I go
It makes for a very good deadweight
In case of an emergency
In case I need to break your face
In case I need you to be dead

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands, with the same hands

Ah, sit
I tell my doggie to sit
But I am not a dog
But you make the animal in me
Want to come out all over you

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know

Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
(With the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)

And it's hard to believe that I'm still a believer

Grace lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting

Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style

And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'

Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of getting into your comfort zone

Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Ooh ... Oooh ...
Oh oh oh ...
Oh ...

I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you

You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

If you keep kissin' my face
Someday I'll no longer do you wrong

Wayne lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I'll be the girl with the long blond hair
And the really pale skin, if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quiet, filled with doom, mmhm

I never ever liked the smell in here
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanently
But that's OK 'cause I don't want to see

Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

Who's the strange lady with the big silly hair
And berries on her face, dressed like a pear
Do I really have to hold her hand
And pretend she's mommy, your wife and man
When I know you're not my mommy

It's crowded and I feel lost in here
I'm trying to find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but I just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me, oh

Wayne
Wait for me
Take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

You made me fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones

Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then wait for me, no oh oh
Take me in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

Hands lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk



Ooh ... ooh ...
Ho ...
Ah ho ho ho ah ...
Oh ...

There's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help, he sings a pleadin' song
The times are tough for everyone
Gotta hold on to what I got, and just kinda cruise along

Well, I do
Want to be helpful
But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother
And into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
Do do do do do

You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' tonight
Or who his friends are
Well, you don't know where he's from
Or where he?s been, or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful
These days

Well, I do
Want to be helpful
Well but it's cold and I'm told
It might just be the devil

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another

Well, I don't take chances
And I don't take time to see
And I don't take nothin' from nobody
No way, not me

Do do do do do
Ho ah ...
Do do do do do do do

Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)
Out of the mouth of a mother
Ho ...
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
Ho ...
And out of the hands of a child

Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child

Disagree lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Ooh ... oh ... you know it
You know I'd rather disagree

You tell me what you want from me
Well, I'm not sayin' I'll believe
I could solve your mystery
But I would rather disagree

Ooh ... you know it, yeah
You know it
I'd rather disagree

You say the truth will set me free
So how come you're comin' down on me
You think it's real if you can see
Well, I don't take to that philosophy

'Cause you know
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree

Do you see yourself inside of me
And do I take away your miseries
Am I just one more catastrophe
Yeah, I always say what I don?t mean

You know
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree
I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree

Don't you feed me, I'm full
You know I'd starve before I'd fall
Don't bleed me, don't bleed me

Even if you're right
Even if I'm wrong
Even if you're right
Even if you're wrong

I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
Oh, I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
I would rather disagree
And I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
(Even if I'm wrong)
I would rather disagree ...

Co-Dependent lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

When I go swimming
In your intellect
The water's so shallow
And the dialect is so phony
But I eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent

When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's so, so obvious
And I can't help it
So I put up with it
'Cause you're my habit
And I just can't quit

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I keep on pretendin'
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent

The world keeps spinnin'
Lucifer keeps sinnin'
The joker keeps grinnin'
But I need a new beginning

Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I don't recommend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it

Baby, be my co-dependent

Green Apples lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

You bring me
To the heart of a golden man
You bring me
To the natural truth
You take me
To the solid hollow
And keep me sailing
This ocean of youth

That's why you're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setttin' sun
You're wood bunin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain

Be my island in crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there

And lead me to the holy water
And introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come
I will come

You're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a, a fire glowin'
You're my sweet green apples
You must be the one

I'm sayin' you're toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a settin' sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a fire glowin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

Sweet as green apples
You must be the one

Boot lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Never been here before
Never opened up this door
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others
Never heard him laugh before
Never felt him feel before
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others

He's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist
To put me down

Here we go again

Never heard him lie before
Never seen him cry before
But I got a feelin' it's like the others
Never heard him dream before
Oh, I never felt it before, oh
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others

He's got a big boot
He's got a big hand
He's got a big fist to put me down
He's got a big mouth
And I know he's got some big words
He's got a big knife to cut me down

Is it all ...
Is it all because of the fall
But it's not my fault

How long, long ...
How long ...
How long do I have to long

Never been here before
Never walked through this door
And I got a feelin' it won't be like the others

Even though he's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist, he won't put me down
He's got a big mouth
Bet he's got a lotta big words
I bet he's got a big knife but you know ...
Cut me, cut me down, oh ooh oh
A big fist and he cut me down
Bet he's got a big mouth
Bet he's got some big words
Come on, let's see your big knife
Why don't you try to cut me down

Imaginary Friend lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what I think
I wonder what I'm thinkin' for

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend

And who needs to listen, well ...
What do I have to sell
Everyone's just waitin' for their own turn
Kinda like show and tell

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend

Someone to listen, someone to laugh
Someone to cry at the right time

I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls again
I'm drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen
You know that I'm smellin' dead flowers
And listenin' to the walls
Drinkin' from a leaky faucet
And writin' with this dried up pen

Wish I still had my imaginary friend
Wish I still had my imaginary friend

And I would call him up
But I don't remember his name

Always A Woman lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman like me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
And she can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
'Cause she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
The most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm, mmm

Blow Up The Outside World lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've given everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

Boys Of Summer lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was - what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Danny Boy lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

Dealer lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

[Spoken:]
That puts me in a good mood
Thinking about surfing
Wow, we should go surfing
We should go surfing
Surf this groovy vibe

Ah, I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high and get pissed, I'll be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom and when I call people will come
Everyone will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'm gonna go hungry, gonna fight the good fight
I'm gonna learn to go without but I'll feel no hunger pain
I'm gonna carry the cross, I can carry the weight of the world
And cry all the tears but I know it's not gonna hurt

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh

I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high, get pissed, not be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom, and when I call people will come
Everybody will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Spoken:]
Wow surfing was great wasn't it?
Man, I'm tired
I love surfing
Nice day, eh?
