The Kindness Of Strangers

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS LYRICS


Album: "Murder Ballads" (1996)

They found Mary Bellows cuffed to the bed
With a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
O poor Mary Bellows
She'd grown up hungry, she'd grown up poor
She left her home in Arkansas
O poor Mary Bellows
She wanted to see the deep blue sea
She travelled across Tennessee
O poor Mary Bellows
She met a man along the way
He introduced himself as Richard Slade
O poor Mary Bellows
Poor Mary thought that she might die
When she saw the ocean for the first time
O poor Mary Bellows
She checked into a cheap little place
Richard Slade carried in her old suitcase
O poor Mary Bellows
"I'm a good girl, sir", she said to him
I couldn't possibly permit you in
O poor Mary Bellows
Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye
And turned away without goodbye
O poor Mary Bellows
She sat on her bed and thought of home
With the sea breeze whistling all alone
O poor Mary Bellows
In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
And undid the latch on the front door
O poor Mary Bellows
They found her the next day cuffed to the bed
A rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
O poor Mary Bellows
So mothers keep your girls at home
Don't let them journey all alone
Tell them this world is full of danger
And to shun the company of strangers
O poor Mary Bellows
O poor Mary Bellows

Kinda Outta Luck (Album: "Ultraviolence" (2014)) (LANA DEL REY LYRICS)





.
I was born bad
But then I met you
You made me nice for a while
But my dark side's true.

You never cared what I did at all
Motel singer at a silver ball
I did what I had to do...

Femme fatale, always on the run
Diamonds on my wrist, whiskey on my tongue
Before I give back, I gotta get drunk
So get over here, pour me a cold one.

Babe you can see that I'm danger
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
Sparkling in sequins, say hey-yeah

Time to give in to the kindness of strangers.

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck.

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck.

Wrong, I know, killing someone
It gets a little easier when you've done it once
You know that I'm fun, you know that I'm young
So tell me your mind, let's get it on.

Babe you can see that I'm danger
Glamorous but I'm deranged, yeah
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
I said it really nicely so can you be my savior?

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck.

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck.

I was a dangerous girl
You were too nice for this world
And now I'm back on the prowl
Who wants to give it a whirl?

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck.

Is it wro-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck

Keys To The Kingdom (Album: "The Hunting Party" (2014)) (LINKIN PARK LYRICS)





.
[Chester:]
No Control! No Surprise!
throw the Keys To The Kingdom down that hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty! I fuck up everything I see, fighting in futility!

[Mike:]
It's our Final War
Tell me what's worth fighting for
When we know there's nothing more
Take the hand or fist
just to sell ourselves for this
The path we least resist

[Chester Screams]

[Chester:]
No Control! No Surprise!
throw the Keys To The Kingdom down that hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty! I fuck up everything I see, fighting in futility!

[Mike:]
Uh, I give you what you came for
This is not the same though
Got a different method
But I still can bring the pain so
Not all give the same flow
I got daddy's saying low
I ain't shock and get you
Never really in my range, though
Somehow they ain't grow
High five, bango
All primetime
Mama let the bass bang low
All you fucking lames go
naming out my name though
Careful what you shoot for, cause you might hit what you aim for
(Careful what you shoot for, cause you might hit what you aim for)

[Chester:]
No control! No surprise!
throw the Keys To The Kingdom down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty! I fuck up everything I see, fighting in futility

[Instrumental Break]

[Chester:]
No control! No surprise!
throw the Keys To The Kingdom down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty! I fuck up everything I see, fighting in futility
[x2]

[Kid:]
I'm not allowed to say certain things Aahhhh!!

[Mike:]
Try and do....try and do the other thing

Jerk Ribs (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
And my ear drum, reminds me
His name was just way down in my feet
And this moment, well, I can't breathe
You can't control, something that's getting free
And the rhythm's, exciting
Oh when I start this road full of streets
I'm glad you get this one for cheap

In Harlem, where I started to breathe
Your beat was like a soundtrack to me
I was the girl, my daddy was the world
He played the notes and keys
He said to look for melody in everything

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

The best favorites, go through me
I press the strings, I love everything
Hurtful pain, forget the time and keep staying
Hold the doors, dance and give it away
Just around me, I hear it
And melody was right over me
But whistleblowers happened for me

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

In Harlem, where I started to breathe
Your beat was like a soundtrack to me
I was the girl, my daddy was the world
He played the notes and keys
He said to look for melody in everything

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

Breakfast (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

[Verse 1:]
I wanna say thank you (thank you)
You've been more than just a man
You've really been a friend
And I wanna say thank you (thank you)
You put me to the test
When I know you could've left me behind

When I feel like I'm knocked back off my feet
And I swear I'm all alone
You're the one who carries me
Simple things like giving me your peace
You're strong enough to be
Exactly what I need

[Chorus: x2]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world

[Verse 2:]
Sometimes it's just so dark
And I can't see past my hand
But you're solid as a rock
You're everything I love
And I done all that I can
You told me still stand
When it's said and done
I am just what I am

[Bridge 1:]
So much of who we are
Is from who taught us how to love
So much of who we are
Is from who first taught us how to love

[Chorus: x4]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world

[Bridge 2:]
Maybe we'll make it til breakfast [x3]

[Chorus: x4]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world

Forever Be (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

How people hold their breath
Keep it in, waitin' for a sign
Can't let it out till none is left
And night comes on and the moon is high

We are here, you and I, just in time,
To tell a fire tell a secret, here's mine
I was scared, terrified, of the lines
That I might forget to sing to you tonight

There will never be another day for us to be purpose
I'll follow your lead, together, and we'll forever be
We'll forever be

How people lose their step
Tryna find their way in troubled times
Holding on till promise's kept
Let's go down, and my heart is blind

We are here, you and I, just in time,
To tell a fire tell a secret, here's mine
I was scared, terrified, of the lines
That I might forget to sing to you tonight

There will never be another day for us to be purpose
I'll follow your lead, together, and we'll forever be
We'll forever be
There will never be another day for us to be purpose
I'll follow your lead, together, and we'll forever be
We'll forever be
There will never be another day for us to be purpose
I'll follow your lead, together, and we'll forever be
We'll forever be

Floyd (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

Seems like no one is surprising
Anymore, it's not that I'm
Ungrateful, I'm just a little bored
Sure I'm self sufficient blah blah
Independent. Truthfully I've got
Some space. I want that
Man to fill it

Don't need another friend
Let's say for instance
And as a rule
I don't believe
Don't do long distance
So I'm looking for a sailor or an arson expert
Someone I can tell them, say

I want to be blown away
Blow me away
I want to be blown away
I want to be blown away
Blow me away
I want to be blown away

I know I don't look it
But I can cook
I'm really pretty simple I
Like what I should
You'd think it be really easy
If it was I would
But people seem too crazy
So I read a book

I don't want to send a search party
If he's smart I can wait
And he'll find me
So for now. I'll just say what
I'm lookin' for, one more time

I want to be blown away
Blow me away
I want to be blown away
I want to be blown away
Blow me away
I want to be blown away
Blow me away
I want to be blown away

Runnin' (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
How we came runnin' if different things won't touching me
We claim one victory, best without a thrill
How we came here runnin' it's like he couldn't say he love her
Flashing, don't always
I ain't mean that cause either we force to stay

How we came runnin' to escape the fame
Still don't wanna die, now I gotta change
How they came runnin'? But out of flame
How we'll get up, how we arrive the day

How can I forget you? If you never let it go, you fight out to rescue
How could I forget you, the hurricane that keeps me say you on my future
How we came runnin' if the [?] up the falling
That's not accident and now you lost a fan
How they cam runnin'all the dream they put you on just before that day
Should sold all that, better than regret
How they came runnin' makes you build at last
So I can speed [?] never face the fact

I became a runin'
I became a runin'
I became a runin'
I became a runin'

How could I forget you if you never laid your fears and let it all for rescue
How could I reject you, the hurricane that keeps me say you on my future
Keep your head up,

How could I forget you, how could I forget you
How could I forget you, how could I forget you
He'll beats for two at onceand my heart will go on

Surreder that time so force to know all your feels
I'm going so could and I can't see it up to you

How could I forget you if you never laid your fears and let it all for rescue
How could I reject you, the hurricane that keeps me say you on my future
How could I forget you if you never laid your fears and let it all for rescue
How could I reject you, the hurricane that keeps me say you on my future

Hooch (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
These are the days in your life
When you cross up, time is free
Like your daddy says the world is yours
So let it come naturally

All the seasons change
And scope you with a kiss
You welcome all those tricks
Select the peach that I'll prepare

Never forget, well, it hurts, doesn't matter
How it felt to me
But how many girls went and
Lost their way?

We were reckless,
So precise, but baby
The joy was the one thing
Leaving right

So look away
You got a thing you wanna see
Just come by me
And we'll just see [?]

If you ever bail
Take a look around
Do I look wrong to you
And that's the truth

.

Cobbler (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

When you walk in the door
You smell just like the sun
Give you everything you want
'Cause baby you're the one
Your bright eyes on your face
I gotta stop I'm runnin' late
But it's time I tell my friends
Being with you just feels so great

Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway
Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway

You're the best I've ever done
Like a winner like I won. I couldn't love you more
If I tried I'd go for tons. I used to say I run
But for this I know I'll stay
'Cause for real it's the look on your face
Every time you say my name

(Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday)
(Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway
Getaway)
Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway
Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway

You make me hit notes that I never sing
(She never sings) (Sings these notes)

Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway
Ooh lately, you got this feeling like a holiday
Ooh baby, here in your arms is like a getaway

Bless The Telephone [cover; original song by Labi Siffre] (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long, even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel.
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you.
It's nice to hear you say hello.
And how are things with you?
I love you.
But very soon it's time to go.
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you.
Strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away, away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless The Telephone

It's nice the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow
Just soft and low, the same
Cause when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way too
I'm very much in love with you.

Change (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
Sleep well my friend
You must be tired
I wouldn't blame myself
I'm different

Now don't be foolish
No one keeps their promise
How could you know?
When I would be so oh

You can't escape the crips of desire
You lie to yourself, but you always remember

Your love stung like a bee
Keep that stuff away from me, it's caution
Shouldn't I forgive him? I would know
Don't wanna let it grow like poison

Now don't be silly, no one clears their conscience
Blown out of proportion, Silly me I cried for weeks
An ocean

You can't escape the crips of desire
You lie to yourself, but you always remember

What can I say? Nothing can change

You can't escape the crips of desire
You lie to yourself, but you always remember

When you lose yourself
Then you lose yourself
Can't forgive yourself, oh no

Rumble (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
It's the strangest thing
To have you back in my face
With all those years passed
I guess I just got used to my space

I don't know how to feel
This whole thing seems so surreal
So you keep one foot out the door
I know I said 'leave' but, baby, don't go

We got so much history
I hurt you, you hurt me
No, we don't need therapy
What I need is you here

And even though I know I'm right
Just like some lapse in my memory
You're back to me, hand on the door
I want you, baby, don't go

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

You got so many issues but I guess I can top me, too
I'm just fine by myself
But I don't know who's gonna help you
I'm not no secretary, I'm nobody's Major D

But like a lapse in my memory
I want you, baby, don't go
Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
Baby, don't leave, yeah
Stay the night, baby
Don't go, baby, oh, hey, baby, don't, baby, don't go

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

Biscuits n' Gravy (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.
Hands change like the weather to prepare in a sweater.
Either way you'll be cold if it snows.
Everybody wonders where to get the answer,
Silly thought to think the answer knows where to go.

The push up thought used to seem like a really good idea.
But service as better leave enough alone.

Not everyone believes the story, as for me I love the truth.
And ever since I was a young girl.
Witnessed evidence and proof.

I'm standing in the middle of some other persons life
The funny thing about that is I'm these are lies
I don't where I'm going
Quite a story where I been
The map seems all wrong and my compass says the end.

If it's already written then my script can be forgiven.
Doesn't matter where I thought I'd be
Time to relish where I've been.

Not everyone believes the story, as for me I love the truth.
And ever since I was a young girl.
Witnessed evidence and proof.

Been given the morning, every dawn brings thoughts of you.
By this time tomorrow I'll be brand new.
Been given the morning,
If you catch me tomorrow I'll be renewed
Been given the morning [x7]
(Thoughts of you)

Been given the morning, every dawn brings thoughts of you.
By this time tomorrow I'll be brand new.

Dreamer (Album: "Food" (2014)) (KELIS LYRICS)





.

Weighing heavy on my heart
Every thought shoots like a dart
Where it lands Is where I'll start
Is it a curse or more my art
Giving love and giving hate
Give me patience and I'll wait

Oh dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer

There are millions just like us
Fighting fears and hiding love
Be the caffeine in the veins
All the necessary pains
Every moment fits a frame
Face to pillow, fades the shame
And if all was left to me
We'd be naked climbing trees

I'm a dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer, I'm a dreamer
Dreamer

Keep Smoking [feat. Chuck Inglish] (Album: "RetroHash" (2014)) (ASHER ROTH LYRICS)





.

[Hook:]
Until it goes away, until it goes away
Until it goes I'm smoking

[Verse 1:]
If I could be conceited
It's a side of me that I don't honestly agree with
Wish I could take the finer things and copy and keep 'em
Lock 'em and freeze 'em
Want to and need 'em, but see, ah, that's not freedom
Like I'm scared to be me
Wish I were perfect like you want me to be
I'm not that person
Staircase has drinks, swear it could worsen
No guarantee, but I'll keep on working on it

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]
Have you ever been lied to?
Pride hurt and swallow
Fight for who you like, but who you like can always ride
First become rivals, life moves in cycles
Barely use a libel, find that Mary Jane insightful
When my heart's on probation, caught by police
Copped me a spaceship, cocked it and peace
Constant vacation, lost out in sea
Quit my job and relationship, that's why I roll this weed
Like

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Chuck Inglish]
I thought you were the one girl to make me happy
We rolled a couple ones up like we made it happen
But I ain't losing sleep just to keep the peace
I roll up all my tree up, let me tell you what I see
The peace of disagrence, push the word until you breathe it
Like the sermon when you see it, man, I say it like I mean it
Fogged deep, windows up in the truck, getting weeded
There's a war going on outside and I can't hear it
I hold the THC in my lungs until I feel it
Stoned like a witch 'cause life is a bitch
Last night I sat down, had to write
Twist that light, an extended take flight
Man, I gotta pack light, but

[Hook]

Keeping Score (Album: "If We're Honest" (2014)) (FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI LYRICS)





.
Dear heartbreak
Why do you feel so bad
Why do you hurt like that
What's going on

Your heart's filled with regrets
You try but you can't forget
Can grace cover things like this
Well, it already did

[Chorus:]
I know you're thinking that you've finally gone too far
And you're certain He'll be closing the door
But you've gotta believe the things you've done aren't beyond His love
He's not keeping score

If He can make the morning
He can make redemption too
There's nothing you could do
To take that away

[Chorus]

If His love is big enough to move any mountain
His love is big enough for you, just accept it

[Chorus]
