DIANA AHNAID- SELF TITLED (1997)

1. I GO OFF
A hundred thousand fireflies light up before me
And if I turn my head on to the side they become my ceiling and
The floor is slippery, but I'm not scared
Because I dance with my guitar when my feet are bare
And the lights are so bright and so unreal
And my fingers are bleeding but I can't feel them
If you think that I'm quiet you don't read my eyes
Because I've got a lot to say and most of the time

(Chorus:)
I go off - and if you don't believe that
I'll go off - right here, right now
I go off - and if you don't believe that
I go off - you're not listening very hard

It's hot and smoky a lot of the time
And I bus it or thumb it and I plane or drive
Sometimes there's roses and sometimes there's coins
But, well I never really notice for the sound of my voice

On the back of a motorbike and it's raining hard
And I'm strapped to a man on one side and to my guitar
I have to fight the bouncer when I get to my destination
Because he doesn't recognise me from my promotion
So I say 'hey, is that my problem
You should really get it together man.
I've got a room full of people
Waiting for me again.'

My imagination is a party and I invite you
And I'm a good hostess so I won't bite you
I really like it here
It's such a thrill
And I think fireflies are really cool.

2. IF YOU INSIST
I've been trying to tell you that I don't know what I want,
Still you expect answers by tomorrow
And I can't give you that just more confusion and sorrow.
I didn't want to do that, so I keep it all under my hat
And in my head, you know I bit my tongue so hard sometimes it bled.

Still you insist, truth dare or kiss
It's all dangerous, but if you insist, I'll take the risk
And dive in it

I'm like a person in a heatwave,
And you are the water that I crave; I really want you inside me
But you just swim around me like the sea
Does that salt in your mouth help to digest me
Is it like sterilising something dirty,
Well, if I 'm that hard to bear, then, why don't you stop putting me?
In there

Heart first, head second, Heart first, and then everything else in.

3. FILL ME UP
Would you like a cup of coffee, do you
Do you take sugar, do you like it really strong or diluted by my laughter

Would you like a little bickie to dip in until it goes all soggy at the ends?
Or am I sufficiently sloppy, come on sit yourself here by me again

I'll be so happy in your company

We can talk about the weather or whatever
Makes you comfortable enough to stay around
We can talk about politics or the irregularity of sound
We can talk about football or some other mindless bullshit chat
I'll tell you how I sucked my thumb
And you'll probably really laugh at that

But anyway I'll really enjoy talking to you - I really do

Can I get something, would you like some toast
Maybe we could share a little piece of it between us both
We could have it in the shower
But we'd have to strip off
Maybe our thoughts could be the bubbles
And my hands could be the cup
And you will fill me up
You already do

4. SEE-THROUGH
I don't mind if I turn people on, but
I don't really care if I turn them off, because
Being me, was never enough to please, everyone

Do I confuse others with the way I appear am
I confronting them with something they don't want to hear
They see me and in their minds they try and put me in a box but,
Well I never really liked things with labels on the top

I'm not following orders, and I won't stand against a wall
So you can shake me down, where I don't like it at all
When it's what's inside that makes the difference so you
Should take a look before you make your judgements

It doesn't really mean to me, what it means to you the way
I look is just that; something you can see through
So if I confuse you with what I say maybe that's just the
Way you deal with the unexplained

And I'm not making statements, or setting any trends
And this isn't where the shocking's gonna start or end
So if I'm upsetting you, maybe you should leave
'Cause I'm not going to, this is me.

5. MAKE IT BEGIN
You roll around me
Like a silent wave
You touch my soul
And make me crave you all over
You share the secret
Sounds I make
You build a love that
Fills a void
You make my body shake
You play that music
That makes me wanna sing
You shake my mind, you draw a picture
You’re my friend
You understand the waves in my head
That never crash and never end
Make it begin
Let me ride you
Let me find you there
Where the oceans touch the land
The centre is space not time
Let’s make the flight

6. WRAPPED AROUND MY HEAD
Seems like I've known you all my life
In an unknown sort of way
Like we're on the same road
But different sides
And you're calling out my name
I've never met you but I won't forget
The dream of your voice
Wrapped around my head
I've never felt your touch
But I know it's strong
With a world of people in between
Yours is the only one
Eventually your shouts
Became a whisper of wind
That I couldn't hear for anything
And you, unseen are as my King
Touch my tenderness
Like a feather on my skin
Ok I admit it I'd like to spend
Some time with you in person
Would that be ok with you?
All right here I am
What are you going to do?
I think I'll stop and sit instead
Of following your shadow
Maybe you'll go round the block
And stop you never know
If you did I don't know what I'd say to you
Maybe just the closer you get, the better the view.

7. ruok?
I'm a social disaster; I'm like a nuclear reactor
Walking around with fire in my mouth
Ready to spit it all out, so don't get in my way
'Cause sometimes I don't shoot real straight
And I wouldn't want to fire on you
If you're ok
Are you ok? I'm ok
Are you ok? I'm ok
I'm a misfit Sitting in a corner trying
To sort out everybody's shit
I look and there's no empty plates
So I turn and chuck it in the nearest face
So if it doesn't belong to you
Get out of the way I wouldn't
Want to fire on you
If you're ok

8. GET YOURSELF LOST
You played me like a puppet
Pretend I don't have any time to waste
You said you'd keep me from the sharks
But you kept me for a private feast
You said you don't believe in one-night stands
So you fuck me over whenever you can
You told me to follow a formula for success
But I don't want to be the same as everyone else is
So I'll do it on my own
I'm shaking you off
I'm sick of having you in my face so
Get yourself lost
Thanks for wasting my time and energy
Thankyou so much, it couldn't have been me
Thanks for wasting my breath and creativity
I think you've wasted
More than enough of me
You said you'd never do wrong
By me or take me for a ride
You said it with the sincerity of a well-practiced lie
I told you that I would do the very best that I can
Well at least one of us kept to the original plan
You managed all right to stress me out
To fill my head with shit and serious doubt
I think that I'm really doing all right
So get your ass out of my spotlight

9. LEAVING THE COUNTRY
I saw a letter it was written in your handwriting but it wasn't for me
Saying you'll miss everyone when you're gone leaving the country
I pretended not to know and you just pretend
See how long you can keep up my hopes before it all ends
You're so cruel to me
The first time we really went out together I was so excited
Until you turned up with one of your mates
And it was just another night then
You told him you were going away for a year
You couldn't even say it to my face you didn't even care
You're so cruel to me, I forgive you so easily
Even though you're mean, I forgive you so easily
I laughed when you were leaving
So you'd remember me that way
Then I found a little hole to crawl in
And I cried for a year and a day and it’s
Really good to see you, I'd love to touch you too
I know things have changed
And you keep away
But can't I say I miss you
You're so cruel to me, I forgive you so easily
Even though you're mean, I forgive you so easily

11. FLOWERS
You're taking flowers from my gravestone,
I can feel your heavy feet pressing on my bones,
Like you always did,
Walk too heavy around me; I used to think you didn't give a shit
Now I know you saved it all up just for me, and
I play with words when you come by,
Because you always play at games I don't like,
I'm a really strong woman, with no reception,
I'm a really good girl, just in a bad direction,
I think I followed you around too much
I think I really should have looked down,
When I looked up, at you, with your strange expressions
And lights of attitude dimmer than your erection,
Yes, I remember it well, I know I shouldn't but,
What the hell, It's just a dick and so are you,
I get so sick of the things that you do.

11. K9
Under a fence I crawl, Dig up all your vegetables
Creep into your house at night
Wipe my feet on the rug that you like
I'm canine - and I am, I'm feeling fine
I'm animal - and it's payback time
I'm your alarm clock, and when it's still dark
I get you up, and the noises in the night
You hear that's me drinking all your beer
I'm canine - and I am, I'm feeling fine
I'm animal - and it's payback time
You know the reason your friends don't come round anymore
That's because I don't let them near the door
And you wonder why your boyfriend never comes
That's because I ate one of his thumbs
I'm canine - and I am, I'm feeling fine
I'm animal - and it's payback time
You know those phone calls
With the panting and the very low growls, that's for all the times that you
You locked me out of the house
I'm canine - and I am, I'm feeling fine
I'm animal - and it's payback time
You know that reoccurring gift on the doorstep,
I hope that you really like it, It, took me such a long time to create it.
That's my excrement.
I'm canine - and I am, I'm feeling fine
I'm animal - and it's payback time

12. FREAKY ANIMALS
My pa my pa is like a freak in the town
I cannot look him in the face
It’s like a bad hand and I take a hand
My ma my ma I did not know her so well
But like the storybooks tell she was a strange one
As soon as I could read I lose who I am
My folks you know are like a travelling
Show an animal and a freak
Now look at me I lose who I am

I DON’T THINK I’M PREGNANT (1999)

1. SOCIALLY DEFUNCT (IT’S NOT THAT BAD)
I don't want to walk before I run
And as simple as I am
I can't even stand
Try to hold a conversation
And I'm lost before I start
Stealing the silences again

I don't wanna talk to anyone
These days I'm social on my own
It’s more fun alone
I get more done at home
And I don't have to look real good
And now it’s ok to be rude
I think you are right
You and I are through
But it’s not that bad without you

It’s not that bad without you
It’s not that bad without you
Without you

I don't wanna wait for anyone
I think I'd rather walk alone
I don't know where I've gone
I try to hold onto a sense of direction
But I'm lost before I start
I can't find my way again

It’s not the only way to be
I only want you to understand
It’s not the easy way
Maybe you and I have changed
And there’s not much left to say
It’s just the way I am
It’s just the way I am
It’s not the only way to be
I only want you to understand
It’s not the easy way
Maybe you and I have changed
And there’s not much left to say
It’s just the way I am without you
It’s not that bad without you
It’s not that bad without you
It’s not that bad without you

2. PERFECT FAMILY
How do we go halves in a dog or a house at the beach?
How do you intend to make this all up to me?
What if love is just like war with no one to clean the mess?
What if we hold court and I invite my relatives

I thought this was it for me
We got a house and a colour TV.
We’ll have a dog instead of a kid
We’ll be the perfect family
What’s the reason we broke up?
Weren’t we trying hard enough?
Now I’ve had to sell the ring
Just to pay for everything

How did it go wrong with all the promises we made?
How do you take back all the things you said and never meant?
What if there’s no right and we've been fighting for a wrong
What if you had known we wouldn't get along?

I gave you the best of me and now I want it back
Who am I to question what is fair in love and war
They were your cd's but it was me who bought the stack
Now I just want half of everything to get you back

3. LOVE SONG FOR A GIRL
She's slightly crooked but I like it for what's underneath
She hogs the bed and talks in her sleep
Her rooms like one big pillow you can dive right into if you dare
But she's usually there

She'll make you wish you were her or wish she were dead
She has the most peculiar effect on men and me
And I’m a few days older I’m like her sister
Only I fell so easy

This is a love song for a girl
This is for a girl
This is a love song for a girl
This is a love song
This is for a girl
This is a love song
This is for a girl
This is for a girl

She's a butter babe; she's a crumpet queen
She's everything I'm not but we're sharing
And she drives around the countryside
With me in a tour bus
And we're telling jokes and laughing out the window

And I remember screaming my face off on her shoulder
I think I died in her arms once or twice
And whenever I need her she knows it and she's there before I am
Just like super girl in disguise

I couldn't sleep before dawn, she didn't mind we'd find
So many crazy things to do to pass the time
We'd leave the curtains drawn so we wouldn't sleep too long
And sometimes I’d face the day or she would drive me to town
And I look up to her because she's clever
I follow her around 'cause she's me on a good day
And I watch her real close ‘cause she's so pretty
And I hear everything she has to say

4. PIECE OF ME
I don't know what we did last night, I hardly recall
I don't remember your name; you should have slept on the floor
I was awake when you left, creeping 'round my bed
And now I've got a headache and you've got a girlfriend

You ask me to keep it quiet well, what does that mean
I can keep it from her if you can keep it from me

Well you said I was a good fuck, as if I don't know
You grope like a drunk with two seconds to blow
And I played the part, I did what you asked
I don't know who you thought you were, or who you thought I was

You ask me to keep it quiet well, what does that mean
I can keep it from her if you can keep it from me
You ask me to keep it quiet well, what does that mean
I can keep it from her if you can keep it from me

Little piece of me, piece of me, little piece of me
Piece of me

I'm not gonna tell my friends, say yeah I did it again
They'll say Dan your stupid; you’re a sucker for pain
But I can keep it under my breath, I won't ever mention it
I guess I can put it all down to experience

I don't know what we did, I don't remember at all
I don't know your name; you should have slept on the floor
I was awake when you left creeping round and round my bed
And now you've got a girlfriend and I've got a splitting head
And I can keep it quiet, what does that mean
I can keep it from her if you can keep it from me
Piece of me, piece of me, piece of me, piece of me
Piece of me, piece of me, piece of me, piece of me
I can keep it from her, a piece of me

5.THE SHORT SONG
What if I die on an aeroplane - will it take my fear away
What if I died at a football game - would I make the front page?
Will I see lights, will I be free, will I be there with god and me
Will I be famous now, but what if it doesn't matter anyhow

What if I died while I masturbate - Will I be disowned and disgraced?
What if I died on heroin - Will somebody get a raise
Remember when I said it's ok if I'm dead
Remember when I said it's ok
What if I die of an S.T.D and I'm never on late TV
What if I'm not on Letterman or on Oprah Winfrey?
What if I died at a masquerade and no one knows my name
What if I'm gay and I die of A.I.D.S?
What if it's ok?

6. I DON’T THINK I’M PREGNANT
I don't read books, but I know you do
I walked into a bookstore thinking of you
And it's early in the morning and I'm not sure yet
I was feeling sick but I don't think I'm pregnant
And I feel like talking if I thought I had some money
If I even had an hour I'd go see somebody

I don't watch TV unless I'm lonely
I don't like junk food but it reminds me of you
And it's cold in this city, I'm lost
And accidentally been away too long
I don't like the road I'm on

And I don't feel like walking if I've got nowhere to go
Don't wanna find somewhere to stay if I still have to sleep alone
Why should I bother anymore?
You only get what you paid for
I'll leave a message on your phone but I won't wait for you to call
Maybe we should talk; I don't think I am pregnant anymore

7. FOROLA
Every tree has your face
Though the water tries to erase your name
My dreams are just the same

I could be touched but it isn't like you
Find myself crying the night-time through
Wish that my pillow could lie
Tell me your here by my side
How could I leave?
I know you grieve for me

So many tears to remember the laughter you gave
Always on my mind like a book with one page
I didn't mean to treat you so cruel
I wasn't sure of what I was doing
Now it's all done, now it's all said
You know I felt the same as you did
You were so strong, I was so wrong
I can't believe my naivety
You kept your cool, I was a fool
Walk through the rain of stupidity
You were so strong
It all seems different now you’re gone
You went away so long
And now I know I was so wrong
You were so strong
It all seems different now you’re gone
You went away so long and now I know I was so wrong

8. YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT
Taking on the world
Junked out boyfriend and you
Making a statement while all your friends
Are making it through school without you
Thought you wanted a little piece of mind
And you didn't know how to make it
We thought you were already fine
And you don't have to take it from him anymore
You don't have to take it from him
You don't have to take it from him anymore
He's not your type you can re-adjust yourself to his way of life
But he's not your type

Everybody wants to flirt with danger
Why do you have to stand so close to it?
I don't think it's brave or noble
I know what you mean when you say you’re sick
He's not your type and you were mine
Before you two met, when you gonna realise
That you don't have to take it from him anymore

9. DON’T BELIEVE IN LOVE
What would it take for me to convince you?
I’m not like all the other girls you've known
And before we get it all confused
And you jump to all the wrong conclusions
It doesn't have to mean that much
Would you like to meet in a month?
Accidentally hold hands at the end of the pier
Kiss and walk back again
Watch the world disappear
Make a wish on a friend
I hope you find her somewhere

I hear you don't believe in love
What do you hold onto?
If you don't believe in love
What do you hold onto?
I hear you don't believe in love
If you don't believe in love
What do you hold onto?

What can I say to even dare try to explain?
I don't know any better than you
This is all new
I've got a bet with a friend who says
You won't wanna see me again
And I wonder what you'd think
'cause I bet everything
Would you like to meet in a bar?
You can stand me up
And then make it all right
We'll take the long way home
You can tell me why you’re going
Just one night alone
And I will wake you in the morning

Aren't you lonely, it's so sad?
You're so scared to love me back

10. BLUES SINGER
I am not a blues singer
I don't like to be classified
I am not a blues singer
I just get blue sometimes

This time I'm not here to stay
I don't believe you or what you say
Are you so sure?
Remember we've been here before
This time I won't do it alone

You stare through me all the time
Pretending to be blind
Ignorance is a crime
Your guilty and so am I
And it's not right
Your guilty and so am I
And I don't think it's right

I am not a blues singer
I don't like to be classified
I am not a blues singer
I just get blue sometimes

You're right, you’re right
I'm wrong you decide
Maybe I'm the one who's out of line
I'm stealing your excuse
I never had a reason to lose
I'm stealing your excuse
I never had a reason to lose
And this time I do

11. MASTERPLAN
You've got to understand I don't have some kind of master plan
I've got some ideas and a little attitude,
I don't have that much upon you

You say I'm hard to deal with,
I don't think you try; I'm not that hard to satisfy
You say that I have changed but it's a lie
I am just busy getting by

So what, so, what's it to you
So what, I don't mean to be rude
So what, so what's it to you

I accept your criticism; I take all that you give
I respect your cynicism; you take it all out on me
And it's funny what you say, but nobody takes you serious anyway
And it's funny, for all your friends,
Why are you the only one not laughing?

12. WICCA BASKET
Finding god in a Wicca basket, passed around like a bucket of food
And she's hungry but she's been starving before and still refused
She handles situations like an expert; no one ever has to help her
Doesn't mind hanging out with me, says sometimes she gets lonely
She says she's never felt like this

She likes to be in trouble but only as a team
She says that together we can get our way out of anything
She has a 'b' in survival, taught me everything she fought to know
Takes to the city like a playground ride, said she thinks I'm alright
She says she's never felt like this

I like the way she walks barefoot,
And how she smells of flowers and dirt
And when she touches me I think she's right, god is in a Wicca basket

13. PAPER HAT
If all was said between us just as we thought it-for once
You'd understand me; you'd be a lot more friendly
And I'm just speechless all of a sudden
And you ask if I'm ok, I had a really bad day
You'd want a better reason than that
I said I would share my paper hat

If walls could smile they'd be just like me I guess
'cause I'm not all that talkative you may have noticed
So if I've got something to say
You might wanna really concentrate
Otherwise you'll miss it
You'd wanna have a better reason than that
I said I would share my paper hat

You say you'd be my king if I was a queen
Well I am so good at pretending
And I've fought so hard but now I'm giving in
So we can share this paper hat I'm wearing

BEAUTIFUL OBSCENE (2004)

1.DUMB OPINION
So much for staying out of trouble if I have to, keep away from you
It doesn't seem like I’m dealing with a criminal, I don't feel like I need to be rescued
I’m not captive, it isn't world news, I’m not a hostage just because I’m with you
Problem is that it should've been a big secret, but I knew we couldn't keep it

Everybody else says this will be too dangerous for me
What a lost of useless garbage I don't need
I’ll take a chance and see
And it's definitely started up something, you needed just like me
And I want it to be serious, so there won't be anyone but you from now on
Anybody else's dumb opinion

So much for tryna keep it simple and between us, without a big fuss
It doesn't seem like I’m harbouring a criminal intention, just a bad crush
It’s not a front page, a news headline; I’m not endangered just because I’m here tonight
Problem is that it should have been a big secret, but I knew we couldn't keep it

Everybody else says this will be too dangerous for me
What a lost of useless garbage I don't need
I’ll take a chance and see
And it's definitely started up something, you needed just like me
And I want it to be serious, so there won't be anyone but you from now on
Anybody else's dumb opinion

Why don't they just leave us alone with all the guilty thoughts we call our own?
Why don't they just leave us alone?

Everybody else says this will be too dangerous for me
What a lost of useless garbage I don't need
I’ll take a chance and see
And it's definitely started up something, you needed just like me
And I want it to be serious, so there won't be anyone but you from now on
Anybody else's dumb opinion

2.BEAUTIFUL OBSCENE
Leave me the mess I’m in this is the best that I've been
Give me a wish an' I'd do it all again
Funny the way this is, every day in pieces,
Never the same as you would expect it

Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like me, the world we're in
Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like everything

Crazy to think this has, always been short of answers
Stuck in a place in this situation

Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like me, the world we're in
Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like everything

I wouldn't take back a single day, I wouldn't try to change a thing
Leave all of it the same way, just like this to me
I wouldn't take back a single day
Leave it just the same

See me the mess, I'm in, this is the best that I've been
Give me a wish an' I'd do it all again

Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like me, the world we're in
Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like me, every single thing
Obscene, just like you, just like me, the world we're in
Beautiful obscene, just like you, just like everything

I wouldn't take back a single day, I wouldn't try to change a thing
Leave all of it the same way, just like this to me
I wouldn't take back a single day

3.LAST THING
I'll stay away, don't have to face this
It's my mistake, and no-one's business

I am trying not to want to hurt him
Trying not to start this up again

He's in my way, and no surprises
It's been a day, somehow survived it

Still I'm trying not to want to hurt him
Trying not to start this up again

It's the last thing that I need right now, someone to bring me down
I've got a rule that I made up now he moved out, no way, no boys allowed
And there's a reason why I keep my distance, don't think you're gonna understand
This is the last thing that I need right now

No need to stay, my choice I made it
I keep away, don't have to take it
'Cause I'm trying not to want to hurt him
Trying not to start this up again

It's the last thing that I need right now, someone to bring me down
I've got a rule that I made up now he moved out, no way, no boys allowed
And there's a reason why I keep my distance, don't think you're gonna understand
This is the last thing that I need right now

Don't need a boyfriend, not one like him
Don't wanna be the foolish girl I was and end up worse again
You can say it's from me; I'll be keeping away
Don't wanna be the same foolish girl again

I'll stay away, don't have to face this
It's my mistake, and no-one's business

I am trying not to want to hurt him
Trying not to start this up again

It's the last thing that I need right now, someone to bring me down
I've got a rule that I made up now he moved out, no way, no boys allowed
And there's a reason why I keep my distance, don't think you're gonna understand
This is the last thing that I need right now

4.ADDICTION
I wanna stay and wake up in your room like I used to, what do you say?
I just wanna make it all up to you; I never meant to chase you away
Can we take an hour make up in the shower and I won't say anything?
Just let me wake beside you like I used to I don't want it to be the end

You've been my own addiction
I need more of you everyday
You make the situation tempt me in every way

I wanna talk and wake up the whole floor with the music on, whatever you want
I just need to know what I did wrong; I never wanna give you up
Maybe we could stay in for the weekend and I won't try anything
But I could never stay as your ex-girlfriend I don't want it to be the end

You've been my own addiction
I need more of you everyday
You make the situation tempt me in every way

I know you had me addicted to start, you gave me too much
Now I know it's not that easy giving up, I can't get enough
Now I know it won't be easy, I can't give it up
My own addiction

I know you had me addicted to start, you gave me too much
Now I know it's not that easy giving up, I can't get enough
You can be so damn addictive like a drug, I need more of
Now I know it won't be easy, I can't give it up
My own addiction

5.BLARING OUT
Tell me that it's o.k. to wanna be, more than I am
You see I'm just a junkie for the world to see, how bad I've been
What if it's just rock to me now, if doesn't take a lot to figure out
What in the world am I supposed to know by now

Even if it's all a waste and I'm never gonna be saved
I want it blaring out in front of me

Tell you why it's o.k. to be this way, I'll try to explain
You'll say it's just a bad phase that I must be in and you're wrong again
What if it's the way I want to stay, shouldn't take the bullshit out on me
What in the world am I supposed to try and be

Even if it's all a waste and I'm never gonna be saved
I want it blaring out in front of me
Even if it's all a waste and I'm never gonna be saved
I want it blaring out in front of me

It's better than TV., more than anyone can take away
It'll never be the same for me, it isn't just a phase I'm in
It's better than a big screen, more than anyone can explain
It'll never be the same, this is more than just a game

What if it's just rock to me now, it doesn't take a lot to figure out
What in the world am I supposed to know by now

Even if it's all a waste and I'm never gonna be saved
I want it blaring out in front of me
Even if it's all a waste and I'm never gonna be saved
I want it blaring out in front of me
I want it blaring out in front of me
I want it blaring out in front of me

6.TEMPORARY VISITORS
Wish you could see yourself as I do, beautiful and more
We all had a heavenly time with you, before
Missing you now, the world is in mourning just standing still
We all had a reason to wish you well

And I can't believe you're gone, maybe just moved down to the city
And it makes no sense at all, just makes no sense to me

Can it be we are all temporarily visiting, can I stay while all the world is falling, in on me
Now all I have are questions and one big mess here in my head, is this it, are we just
Temporarily visiting

Try to believe this is all for good reason if I can
Still I'm here trying to comprehend
Another day done, lost without meaning now you're gone,
I'm left here waiting to understand

And I don't know how it all works, maybe it's just like the movies
Where no one ever really gets hurt, it sounds like shit to me

Can it be we are all temporarily visiting, can I stay while all the world is falling, in on me
Now all I have are questions and one big mess here in my head, is this it, are we just
Temporarily visiting

And I can't believe you're gone, maybe just moved down to the city
And it makes no sense at all, just makes no sense to me

Can it be we are all temporarily visiting, can I stay while all the world is falling, in on me
Now all I have are questions and one big mess here in my head, is this it, are we just
Temporarily visiting

Can it be we are all temporarily visiting, can I stay while all the world is falling, in on me
Now all I have are questions and one big mess here in my head, is this it, are we just
Temporarily visiting

7.OH NO
I've been staring in a trance under a wet blanket, touching myself to keep warm
Sometimes I find myself, bouncing sounds across the wall
'Been writing songs with silent words, swallowing sounds that scrape and burn
Measuring time by the curtains crack, I've been to the edge and I've come back

It's black and I forget, out cold in a suit of sweat
Lost in someone else's game, I dream of waking everyday

She locks herself away, (oh no) what a big mistake
(oh no) She locks herself away, Oh no

I've been starving in a dress, needing more receiving less
No sight, no sound, no taste, no touch, I'm not getting enough attention
I never thought to mention, now the little girl grows up to question
While the gutter baby silently cries, on a concrete pillow to a curb side lullaby

It's black and I forget, out cold in a suit of sweat
Lost in someone else's game, I dream of waking everyday

She locks herself away, (oh no) what a big mistake
(oh no) She locks herself away, Oh no

I'm tryna breathe I'm wired, there's an undeniable fighting side
And the gutter baby cries, on a concrete pillow to a curb side lullaby

It's black and I forget, out cold in a suit of sweat
Lost in someone else's game, I dream of waking everyday

She locks herself away, what a big mistake
She locks herself away, (oh no) what a big mistake
(oh no) She locks herself away, (oh no) what a big mistake
(oh no) She locks herself away, Oh no

It's black and I forget, out cold in a suit of sweat
Lost in someone else's game, I dream of waking everyday


8.JUST LEAVING
With all the stuff that's on my plate
Sometimes I can't get a smile to come to my face
And with all the shit that's going on now
I can't even sit up straight, I can't even look around

Where do you get off, waiting for the future as if already's not enough
And where do you stop, if you can't stop here than the truth is too much

You don't see me, you don't hear me, I can work it out without you near me
Can't help me, you're just leaving, turn it all around onto me
I can't sleep in, I'm not eating, I can do without this feeling

I wonder what sort of world I've been in
Treated like a baby in the arms of stupid men
And to all the people who had the chance to warn me
If you walked away then you were just leaving me falling

Where do you get off, waiting for the future as if already's not enough
And where do you stop, if you can't stop here than the truth is too much

You don't see me, you don't hear me, I can work it out without you near me
Can't help me, you're just leaving, turn it all around onto me
I can't sleep in, I'm not eating, I can do without this feeling

When everything is said before
You can be a stranger when I needed something more
And instead of every space between us
Savour every moment as if it were your last

Where do you get off, waiting for the future as if already's not enough
And where do you stop, if you can't stop here than the truth is too much

You don't see me, you don't hear me, I can work it out without you near me
Can't help me, you're just leaving, turn it all around onto me
I can't sleep in, I'm not eating, I can do without this feeling
I don't need it, don't believe it, you're the only one I needed

9.LEAVING THE COUNTRY
I saw a letter it was written in your handwriting but it wasn't for me
Saying you'll miss everyone when you're gone leaving the country
I pretended not to know and you just pretend
You see how long you can keep up my hopes, before it all ends

You're so cruel, to me

And the first time we really went out together I was so excited
Until you turned up with one of your mates and it was just another night then
You told him you were going away for a year you
Couldn't even say it to my face you, didn't even care

You're so cruel, to me
And I forgive you so easily
I forgive you so, easily

I laughed when you were leaving so you'd remember me that way and then I
Found a little hole to crawl in and I cried for a year and a day and it's
Really good to see you, I'd love to touch you to
I know things have changed and you keep away but, can't I say I miss you

You're so cruel, to me
And I forgive you so easily yeah
Even though you're mean
And I forgive you so, easily

10.WHY SHOULD I
I don't know you anymore, and all the rules we set
For whatever this is, I wanna break 'em all like you did
I'm on dangerous ground right now, and all the guys I've missed
For whatever this is, the truth is I loved you more

Why should I give this, another day, another week
I know you don't mean it, all the things you've said to me
I'm crazy to, believe you again
Don't even try, don't try to explain

What a fool I can be sometimes, taking all your lies
I am kicking myself, I should've seen the way it would end up
It's too late to be sorry now, for us to try to work things out
I am kicking myself, I should've known you'd let me down

Why should I give this, another day, another week
I know you don't mean it, all the things you've said to me
I'm crazy to, believe you again
Don't even try, don't try to explain

What made you so sure, you wouldn't be caught by now
I don't know why you thought, Id' want you around
Don't come too close too soon, don't know what to say to you
If it's true, it didn't mean a thing€¦

Why should I give this, another day, another week
I know you don't mean it, all the things you've said to me
I'm crazy to, believe you again
Don't even try, don't try to explain

I don't know you anymore, and all the rules we set
For whatever this is, I wanna break 'em all like you did
I'm on dangerous ground right now, and all the guys I've missed
For whatever this is, the truth is I loved you more


Diana Anaid-Self Titled (2010)
1.
MAKE ME CHANGE MY NAME
You stood at the base of the mountain, and watched me climb on
And though you were too weak to help me, you made me strong
You sat at the edge of the ocean and watched me go down,
And for good or bad intentions, you let me drown

You can make me change my name,
But I can’t change who I am
There’s just no chance, there’s just no way
I wont change my attitude

There was no place for me in society, Zoning out with you
And the sex and the drugs that you fed to me, Made me old too soon
So I buried myself in the music, moved away and out of school
Then you said how I’d never make it, so I wrote this song for you!

Don’t you ever think that you weren’t responsible?
For making me the way that I am,
You can fool yourself but you are responsible
You were such an imperfect man,

2.
GET YOUR FREAK ON
You pass on this you pass on that
You miss a million opportunities,
Ill take a risk ill take a chance
I’m overcoming insecurities

Get your freak on!
‘Cause it’s a crazy world
Doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl
Get your freak on
‘Cause it’s a crazy world
Get your freak on!

I win the bet I pass the test
I’m Alice in a world of opportunities
It’s not too late it is your fate
Get ready for a change in your reality

Tweeddale-Dee and Tweeddale-Dum,
Knew the way to have some fun
There’s no one like you never will be
One plus nothing equals one…
Tweeddale-Dee and Tweeddale-Dum,
Knew the way to have some fun
There’s no one like you never will be
So don’t be afraid to get your freak on



3.
HAPPY FOR ME
Tonight I’m feeling what I wanna feel
The strength I felt when I was just a girl
I open wide my arms and I don’t care
The fear I had before is nowhere

I thought that you would see, you should be happy for me
No longer lost without you, begging someone take a chance on me
What about friends forever, now that I’m feeling better
Weren’t you the one who said you’d be there, after everything for me, everything for me?

I brandish every scar I have with pride
I live this life I chose and what a ride!
I’ve made mistakes but I don’t give a damn
They made me strong they made me who I am

Just so you know, I never did the worst things that you said I did
I’m half going mad, thinking of better times going round and round in my head, just so you know I never did the worst things that you said I did

4.
BLACK RAINBOW
There’s so much in the way
Anytime we’re together now
Find that there is space
To keep me away
We weren’t like this before at all
You distance everything so far
I’m not so used to breaking in
You’re still here underneath my skin

You know I never wanted to be cleaning up this mess you left for me
Stressed by all the years we let go, fighting under love’s black rainbow

It’s funny how things end,
Before they really start up
We were more than friends
And to me, you’re the one
I’d wait ‘till time is standing still
I’ve got a million days to kill
I’m reading letters from before
You’ve taken all that I adore

This love was never just yours to give away x 4

5.
RIOT
All by myself, only time to spend thinking
Your words are spinning ‘round again, and all of this confusion
The riot, the riot you made in me

You’re gonna wanna swallow, every word
You’re gonna see green, when you look at me
Take back everything you said, discouraging, disinterested
I’m strong enough to make it

Too little too late, I don’t want a sorry anymore
Doesn’t even matter today, you can’t take away this
The riot, the riot, you made in me

You think you’re right, you think you’re so much better than me
Well there’s always someone just like you my whole life so it shits me off but it’s no surprise
Well there’s always someone just like you so take a number and get in line

6.
TROPHY WIFE
I wanna be an L.A trophy wife; I don’t want to have to struggle at the end of my life
I do care if there’s love in my heart or not, I just want a little bit more than I got

Can’t you see me driving my Mercedes, Sitting in the shade of a money tree?
I will say goodbye to my old friends, I might get a little dog, maybe ten,

I’ve had a fair share of trouble in my day, it seems that every obstacle gets in my way,
I may‘ve been with men that I just don’t like, But never for a second more than the first night

I wanna be an L.A trophy wife
I don’t wanna have to struggle at the end of my life
I do care if there’s love in my heart or not,
I just want, a little bit more than I’ve got
Everyone around, smiling so bright
...An L.A trophy wife
Everyone around, smiling so bright
I think I’ll be an LA trophy wife

7.
FORBIDDEN
You put a spell on me
You put a spell on me

You put a hex on me
From the first time we were together
You put a hex on me
Saying you would love me forever

Turn around and face the music, the song you’ve written
You can’t leave, till I see you, cause you’re forbidden
Turn around and face the music, the song you’ve written
You can’t leave, till I see you, cause you’re forbidden

You put a hex on me
From the first time we were together
You put a hex on me
Saying you would love me

Two things, two things, two things that you owe me
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou and an apology
Two things, two things, two things that you owe me
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou and an apology

8.
FULL OF…
Thanks for saying you believe and then turning back
You had me falling over myself to do everything right but you were the one who gave up the fight
And it turns out I was right abut another thing, you’re just like the rest of them, full of nothing

How is life for you in your million dollar mansions?
I bet you have another project, another tax offset,
And I am no loss, if I didn’t break budget, but what’s worse than breaking up, is splitting all the stuff, and finding the truth when you thought it was love, you’re full of nothing, full of fucking nothing

Ahahahahahah ahahahahahahahah full of nothing

I’ve seen your lies, right through your disguise
You were fooling me, just a youthful dream
I’ve been here before, being promised more,
Then you walk away, why do you still talk to me?
You’re full of nothing, full of fucking nothing; you’re full of nothing, fucking nothing

9.
PEACE
Let’s start a connection, from your home to mine
Where the final objective, Is peace for all kind

Lay down all your firearms, and documents of war
Bury them in daisy’s, to rest forever more

P.E.A.C.E, What does it mean to me?
No War, No War
P.E.A.C.E, What does it mean to me?
No War, No War

Let’s start a connection, from your home to mine
Where the final objective, Is peace for all kind

Say goodbye to violence, and to apathy in man,
Fill the world with kindness, come on and take my hand,

Love is the glue that binds me and you, together
Love is the glue that binds me and you, forever

Lay down all your fire-arms, and documents of war
Bury them in daisy’s, to rest forever more

10.
CYNICAL ON WAKING
I wake up, my head’s soft the pillow’s hard and I am lost
Hit the ground and laugh aloud, Get up after I get back down
Draw the shades, It’s a proud day, and I wanna be locked away
The radio says its twenty to eight, its too early or I’m too late

I’m shocking I’m shaking I’m cynical on waking
I’m raucous I'm rude I'm too good to be true
I’m shocking I’m shaking I'm cynical on waking
I’m raucous I'm rude I’m too good to be true

Strings n me planes and taxi’s, notepads free rads cook’s n crazies
Long days, longer nights, I’m addicted to the glow of the city lights
Cold sheets but in house movies, No water but lots of wine
Fast wheeling, fast dealing, moving through space and time

I miss everyone but I miss myself most of all
The city hums the lights are on and the carpet blends into the wall
I left blood on the sheets, there were, Tears where my fingers weep
On the wall I left my name, Figures here’s’ my claim to fame


11.
WEAR YOURSELF OUT
I always dreamed of this to be where I am
But I'm so nervous I could almost
Throw my guts out again
And the tension in me, is because of you
I can hardly believe any of this is true

You’re the best thing that I ever knew
So I wore myself out on you
And I just want you, one more day,
To wear yourself out, out on me,

I can hardly stand here in front of you at all
After all the times I've tried as hard as this before
But the only thing I need for you to understand
No matter what id try it all for you over again

My hearts all bare and open
My truths already spoken
I’ve had some bruised and broken days
Where you have made it all okay


12. FIGHT THE MORNING
See me, stuck to the bottle lately
You’re pointing out the problem, you’re analysing
You were right; I’m not caring for myself,
Here tonight, I’m not a picture of perfect health

Tell me something, I don’t know
Counting every sorrow
Fight the morning
Not the truth, not the truth

I don’t need
More condemnation
You’re stronger than I am,
You’re stronger than I am

In all of your loveliness
You shot me to pieces, why
Remember what you said we were priceless, try

Falling,
Down to the bottom again,
Will you ever understand?
Will you ever hold my hand?

13.
WHAT’S UP (Linda Perry)
25 years and my life is still,
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope, for a destination
I realised quickly when I knew I should,
That the world was never this brotherhood of man, for whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed,
Just to get it all out what’s in my head and I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I
Take a deep breath and I get real high and I
Scream from the top of my lungs what’s going on?

And I say hey, hey, I say hey, what’s going on x 2

Ooh

So I try, oh my god do I try, I try all the time,
In this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray, I pray every single day, for a revolution

14. SUPERSTAR
Believe in yourself, don’t let me down, don’t let yourself down
Don’t believe your friends of family teacher or boss if they say what they said to me

Don’t think you’re nothing special you are
Don’t have to be a superstar
Don’t you worry but the things they say
Cause you cant please everyone all the time anyway

Don’t sabotage your dreams, cause only you can change the future
Don’t believe your friends of family teacher or boss if they say what they said to me

Don’t worry about the blues that, can follow you around,
Cause you’ll see that two times out of three, the sun comes shining out
