Cat Power - Ruin

I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go.

As far as I've seen, from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got

What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin

Cat Power - Peace And Love

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Everybody got shit to pay
Can’t go lala with fafa hu-rah-rah
Gotta go dealing with DaDa for nada
It ain’t appropriate that I’m stoked that I get
A hundred-thousand hits on the internet
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate
I want to feel honey now, like I got money now
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate

I used to have scrounge money, on the ground money
Choosing Black Flag was choosing a race
They had a name for us, it was despicable
So disrespectable, we're like the dirty chemical
We were so attracted to mappable
People just wanted us to blend in and fade
Oh, you’re a horror now, a visual foul
When I was a teen, I had incredible dreams
99% y'all, it's in the wall y'all
Constitution's fine you're choosing a school
So our kids know who’s spinnin’ the globe

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I may be a lover, but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Cat Power - Human Being

You've got a right
You've got a right
You've got a right, you're a human being

You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being

You've got a right to scream
When the dark one's here to stay
You've got a right to be
What you want and where you wanna be

You've got a right to breathe
To breathe
You've got a right
You're a human being

You've got your own voice so sing
You've got two hands, let's go and make anything
We all got rules we all have to break
We all have to make those mistakes

When I say, I know the way, I'm only trying
No don't nobody know where the road to life is really lying
See the people on TV get shot in their very own street
People just like you, people just like me

Can't you see you cut your hand on the advantages
You could stand to manage your damages
You, my dear, are a force to feed, not to fear

You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being

You've got a right to anywhere, anything
You've got a right, you've got a right
You're a human being

You're a human being
You're a human being
You're a human being

Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, you're a human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right, human being
Got a right, got a right, got a right, got a right
Got a right, you're a human being

Cat Power - Cherokee

Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down

Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down.

Cat Power feat. Iggy Pop - Nothin But Time

I see you, kid, alone in your room
You got the weight on your mind
And you're just trying to get by
Your world is just beginning
And I know this life seems never-ending
But you got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you

You know what you got to do
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you

Let 'em in one by one
Keep 'em safe from all the harm
Let 'em in one by one
Keep 'em safe
Yeah but

They wanna live you wanna be somebody
They want to give and be wanted
They want to forgive and not be forgotten
They want to reach the end
They want to live
Their way of living, their way of living

I see you, kid, alone in your room
I see you, kid, You got the weight on your min
You're just trying to get by but your world is just beginning
And I know this life seems never-ending
It's up to you, It's up to you you know
It's only time, it ain't' got nothing on you
It's nothing but time, and it ain't got nothing on you

Never give away, never give away your body
Never, never give away your friends
Ever, never give away what you always wanted
Never, never ever give in

They want to live
Their way of living
You want to live - My way of living
You want to live - My way of living
You want to live - I want to live

You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you

Your world is just beginning
Your world is just beginning
Your world is just beginning
Your world is just beginning

It's up to you to be a superhero
It's up to you to be like nobody
It's up to you to be a superhero
It's up to you to be like nobody

You ain't got nothing but time
For your way of living
And it ain't got nothing on you
You ain't got nothing but time
And it ain't got nothing on you
