Lyrics Fiona Apple - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Hot Knife

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Hot Knife

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

(I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
(I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter)
(If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
(He's never gonna need another, never need another)

If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

He excites me
Must be like the genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Please Please Please

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Please Please Please

Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
And you can hear our sad brain screaming

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you tried it out
You won't like it when you're crying out

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team and
You can hear our sad brain screaming

Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady, steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you want to try it out
You won't like it when you're crying out

Give me something familiar
Somethin' similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Father And Son

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Father And Son

It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found
Something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.

How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Waltz (Better Than Fine)

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Waltz (Better Than Fine)

If you don't have a song
To sing you're okay
You know how to get along
Humming
Hmmm

If you don't have a date
Celebrate
Go out and sit on the lawn
And do nothing
'Cause it's just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore

No I don't believe in the wasting of time,
But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine

If you don't have a point to make
Don't sweat it
You'll make a sharp one being so kind
And I'd sure appreciate it
Everyone else's goal's to get big headed
Why should I follow that beat being that I'm
Better than fine

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Leaving On A Jet Plane

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Leaving On A Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking, its early morn
the taxi's waiting he's blowin' his horn
Already, I'm so lonesome I could die.

(Chorus)
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I dont know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,
so many times I've been around, but
I don't know, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I think of you,
every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring.

(Chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you,
one more time oh let me kiss you...
Now close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
when I wont have to leave alone
about the times that I wont have to say...

(Chorus)

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go

but I'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
on a jet plane.

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Jonathan

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Jonathan

Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sakes
Don't make me explain

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

Jonathan, anything
And anyone that you have done
Has gotta be alright with me
If she's part of
The reason you are how you are
She's alright with me

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

You like to captain
A capsized ship
But I like watching you live

You like to captain
A capsized ship
But I like watching you live

Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sakes
Don't make me explain

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Across The Universe

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Across The Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
Limitless, undying love, which shines around me like a million suns,
And calls me on and on across the universe.

Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva...

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Valentine

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Valentine

You didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin' someone else
I stared at you and cut myself

It's all I'll do 'cause I'm not free
A fugitive too dull too flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace I'm dead, I'm done
I watched you live to have my fun

I root for you, I love you
You, you, you, you
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you, you

I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you

I root for you, I love you
You, you, you, you
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you
You, you, you, you
I root for you, I love you
You, you, you

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sleep To Dream

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sleep To Dream

I tell you how I feel but you don't care
I say tell me the truth but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say give me mine back and go there
For all I care

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you don't come around I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide
I can't abide

I got my feet on the ground

Don't make it a big deal don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore you don't have to be defensive

Don't you plead me your case don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face 'cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrows you gave and all the stakes you claim
And don't forget to blame

I got my feet on the ground

I got my feet on the ground

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Periphery

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Periphery

Oh, the periphery
They throw good parties there
Those peripheral idiots
Always have a bite to bear
Bear it if you can
If you really want to

Go to the periphery
Have them celebrate your name
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
Left to run the races lame
Run if you want
If you think it's worth it
But not with me

'Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery
I lost another one there
He found a prettier girl than me
With a more even-tempered air
And if he wants her, he should get her
'Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
And maybe they'll move from the periphery
By themselves, or on a plot of land
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
Hoping he makes a good family man
And if he finds himself yearning
For his throne on the silly side
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
Or with his bride, just not with me

'Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all

All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Stay away
Stay away
Away, away
Stay away, away

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sitting In Limbo

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sitting In Limbo

(Jimmy Cliff)

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the tide turn.
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
So many things I've got to learn.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll.
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
Still got some time to search my soul.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been.
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone.
And now it's time to move along.

Sitting here in Limbo
Like a bird ain't got a song.
Yeah, I'm sitting here in Limbo
And I know it won't be long
'Til I make my getaway, now.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been.
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone.
And now it's time to move along.

Gonna lead me on now.
Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer

Once my lover, now my friend.
What a cruel thing to pretend.
What a cunning way to condescend.
Once my lover, and now my friend.

Oh, you creep up like the clouds.
And you set my soul at ease.
Then you let your love abound,
And you bring me to my knees.

Oh, it's evil, babe, the way you let your grace enrapture me.
When well you know, I'd be insane
To ever let that dirty game recapture me.
You made me a Shadowboxer, baby.

I want to be ready for what you do.
I've been swinging all around me
"'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move.
Oh, your gaze is dangerous.

And you fill your space so sweet.
If I let you get to close,
You'll set your spell on me.
So darlin', I just want to say

Just in case I don't come through,
I was on to every play
I just wanted you.
Oh, it's so evil, my love.

The way you've no reverence to my concern.
So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love.
To save the pain
Of once my flame, and twice my burn.

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Anything We Want

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Anything We Want

My cheeks were reflecting the longest wavelength
My fan was folded up and grazing my forehead
And I kept touching my neck
To guide your eye to where I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time
alone

My scars were reflecting the mist in your headlights
I looked like a neon zebra shaking rain off her stripes
And the rivulets had you riveted
To the places that I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone

And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want

We started out sipping the water
And now we try to swallow the wave
And we try not to let those bastards get us down
We don't worry anymore 'cause we know when the gulf comes we get brave
After all, look around
It's happening, it's happening, it's happenin' now

Let's pretend we're eight years old playing hookey
I'll draw on the wall and you can play U-F-C rookie
Then we'll grow up
Take our clothes off
And you remind me that I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone

And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sally's Song

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Sally's Song

I sense there's something in the wind
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

Lyrics Fiona Apple - The Child Is Gone

Lyrics Fiona Apple - The Child Is Gone

Darling, give me your absence tonight
Take the shade from the canvas
And leave me the white
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside
And don't bother leaving the light on
'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
The child is gone

Honey help me out of this mess
I'm a stranger to myself
But don't reach for me, I'm too far away
I don't want to talk 'cause there's nothing left to say

So my darling
Give me your absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside
'Cause there's no kind of loving
That can make this all right
I'm trying to find a place I belong
And I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand over a strange inversion
As the darkness turns into the dawn
The child is gone
The child is gone

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Regret

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Regret

'Member when we argued on the concept of regret?
You were an expert even then but not me, not yet
Now all you gotta do's remind me that we met
And there ya got me, that's how you got me, taught me to regret

'Member how I asked you why are you so mean?
You didn't know how to yet to bein' seen
I tried to be your friend, you made me seem so ?
And there ya got me, that's how you got me, ya taught me to be mean

I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Oh I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

'Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?
You hated that, didn't you, didn't you?
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
And there ya got me, that's how you got free, you got rid of me

And now I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Oh I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Alone

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Left Alone

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Left Alone

You made your, made your overtures
When you were a chauven'd over-toned mutt
And I was still a dewy petal
Rather than a moribund slut

My love wrecked you
You're back to twirl your skirt at the palace
It hurt more than it ought to hurt
I went to work to cultivate a callous

And now I'm hard, too hard to know
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone

Oh and I tried to love
And I can love the same man and the same bed and the same city
But not in the same room it's a pity but oh
It never bothered me before
Not 'til this guy
What a guy
Oh, God, what a good guy
And I can't even enjoy him
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know

I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
Alone
Alone
Alone

My ills are articulate
My woes are granular
The ants weigh more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable
So couldn't we skip the valedictories
I can see your door there
Shut it and forget my number
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know

Oh I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left alone

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Red, Red, Red

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Red, Red, Red

I don't understand about complementary colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get white
Together they both get gray

But he's been pretty much yellow
And I've been cryin' blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I to do

I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining

And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't listen so much to you

I've been watching all the time
And I still can't find the track
And I want to know is it okay
Is it just fine
Was it my fault
Is it my lack

I don't understand about
The weather outside
The harbinger to the words
That somebody lied

There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'm trying to understand
There's nothing else I can do

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Not About Love

Lyrics Fiona Apple - Not About Love

The early cars
Already are
Drawing deep breaths past my door
And last night's phrases
Sick with lack of basis
Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair
That your wicked words should work
In holding me down
No, it doesn't seem right

To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem
Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for pun
Took a vacation, my palate got clean
Now I could taste your agenda
While you're spitting your cud

And it doesn't make sense
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information

Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture
I have to stare at
That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight
Change the name of the game 'cause he lost

And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
But I'm not being fair
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth
But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I've said that he stole
Put 'em in a sack
Swing 'em over my shoulder
Turn on my heels

Step out of this sight
Try to live in a lovelier life (lie?)

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact i can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache
