Lyrics -Alanis Hand in My Pocket

I have been amazingly bad in actually listening to words to songs. So I have been doing this exercise in trying to duplicate the lyrics that I am hearing. Later on, I will go back and see what words that I may have missed. These are all songs that relate to me and my (sorry for those of you aggrieved by your estrangements) wonderful estrangements. I love my estrangements. I kiss my screen for finally making such good decisions years ago. I really could give a flying fart about what people who don't even know me think about it LOL.

I would tell the bible thumpers, the college people that took a psych course, to play this sound track when they take a suggest long walk off a short pier!! And while you are at it, ask yourself why do all my friends exist only on the internet? LOLOL. Or maybe why none of your three marriages lasted? Or pehaps if your estrangers made some stellar decisions in their lives as I did?!

I'm broke but I'm happy

I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded

I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby


And what it all comes down to

Is that everything is going to be fine fine fine

Because I have one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five


I feel drunk but I am sober

I'm young but I'm underpaid


I'm tired but I'm working

I care but I'm restless

I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

And what it all comes down to

Is that everything is going to be quite alright

Because I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one's flicking a cigarette


What it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

Because I have one hand in my pocket and the other one is giving a peace sign



I'm free but I am focused

I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly

I'm sad but I'm laughing

I'm brave but I'm chickenshit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby


And what it all boils down to

Is that noones really got it figured out just yet

But I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other ones playing a piano


What it all comes down to my friends

Is that everything is just fine fine fine

Because I got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Nickelback-This is How You Remind Me Lyrics

Never made it as a wise man

couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

Tired of living like a blind man

I'm sick of signing without a sense of feeling

and this is how you remind me

this is how you remind me of what I really am

this is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you

S-sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time out

Mistaking for having you a heart worth breaking


I've been wrong
I've been to the bottom of every bottle

Despite the words in my head

Scream ARE WE HAVING FUN YET

YET YET YET

NO NO

YET YET YET

NO NO



I'ts not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and I swear I still do

It must have been so bad

Because living with him must have damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you

S-S-ORRY

I was waiting on a different story

This time out

Mistaking for you having a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong

I've been down to the bottom of every bottle

Despite words in my head

Scream ARE WE HAVING FUN YET

YET YET YET

NO NO

YET YET YET

NO NO

YET YET YET

NO NO

YET YET YET

NO NOOOOO

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you

S-sorry

I was waiting ON a different story

This time out mistaking

On you having a heart worth breaking


And I've been wrong

I've been down to the bottom of every bottle

Despite words in my head

Screaming ARE WE HAVING FUN YET


YET YET YET
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET
YET YET YET
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET
YET YET YET
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET
YET YET YET
NO NO NOOOOO

Kershaw Lyrics

My totally favorite eighties song when I was in High School. Nick Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good. Let's see if I get these right!!



I got it bad

You don't know how bad I got it

You got it easy

You don't know when you've got it good

It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together

I am sick of fighting even when I know I should

The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber

My broken spirit is frozen to the core

I don't wanna be here no more


Chorus 1:

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it

You got no problem,

I'd stay right there if I were you

I got it harder

You couldn't dream how hard I gotta it

Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you

The heat is stifling

Burning me up from me inside

The sweat is coming from each and every pour

Chorus 2:

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more


Chorus 1:

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care


I gotta bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy you don't know when you got it good
I'm sick of fighting even when I know I should
