Alanis Morissette - Heart Of The House

You are the original template
you are the original exemplary
how seen were you actually?
how revered were you (honestly) at the time?
why pleased with your low maintenance?
you loved us more then we would've loved you back
where was your ally your partner in feminine crime?
oh mother who'd your buddy?
oh mother who'd got your back?
the heart of the house
the heart of the house
all hail the goddess!
you were "good o!"
you were "count on 'er 'til four am"
you saw me run from the house
in the snow melodramatically
oh mother who's your sister
oh mother who's your friend?
the heart of the house
the heart of the house
all hail the goddess!
we left the men we went for a walk in the gatineaus
and talked like women like women to women would
womyn to womyn would "where did you get that from?
must've been your father your dad"
i got it from you i got it from you
do you see yourself in my gypsy garage sale ways?
in my fits of laughter?
in my tinkerbell tendencies?
in my lack of colour coordination?

Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to likeing that
You ask how my day was

Chorus
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is think and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

Repeat Chorus

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thank you for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

Repeat Chorus

Alanis Morissette - Happiness Is A Warm Gun

She's not a girl who misses much
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors
On his hob-nailed boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands
Working over time
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the nation's trust
I need a fix cause i'm going down
Down to the *itch that i left uptown
I need a fix cause i'm going down
Mother superior jumped the gun
Mother superior jumped the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When i hold you in my arms
And i feel my finger on your trigger
I know that nobody can do me no harm
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
Happiness is a warm gun

Alanis Morissette - Hands Clean

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my prot¨¦g¨¦ and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

Ooh this could get messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

what part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
what part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
what with this distance it seems so obvious?

Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

Alanis Morissette - Giggling Again For No Reason

I am driving in my car up highway one
I left LA without telling anyone
There were people who needed something from me
But I am sure they’ll get along fine on their own

Oh this state of ecstasy
Nothing but road could ever give to me
This liberty wind in my face
And I’m giggling again for no reason

I am dancing with my friends in elation
We’ve taken adventures to new levels of fun
I can feel the bones are smiling in my body
I can see the meltings of inhibition

Oh this state of ecstasy
Nothing but road could ever give to me
This liberty wind in my face
And I’m giggling again for no reason

I’m reeling jubilation
Triumphant in delight
I am at home in this high five
And I’m smiling for no reason

I am sitting at the set of cali sun
We’ve gotten quiet for its’ last precious seconds
I can feel the salt of the sea on my skin
And we still hear the echoes of abandon

Oh this state of ecstasy

Alanis Morissette - Find The Right Man

You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
He feels the same way, i think you know it
You can't be afraid to show it
When will this hidden emotion
Give you the notion
To make the first move, make the first move
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
Darling you just can't let him go
Deep down in your heart you can't feel it all
I'll be calling all there is
For his love, for his love
You know you can take his heart away
Just look straight in his eyes
And then you say
Hey can't you just see
We'll be great you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You gotta get it straight
Oh dear don't wait
This might be your lucky day
Don't say that there's no way
You found the right man in the right place
Once in a while you meet him face to face
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love
It was love at first sight
Honey you've gotta fight
For his love, for his love (repeat 2x until end)

Alanis Morissette - Feel Your Love

Feel Your Love

by N/A
Baby I've got this thing for you
I'm thinkin' there's something goin' on now
A wicked imagination
A serious kind of something new
It's drivin' me right out of my mind now
It's gotta be desperation
Can't feel no pain when I'm thinkin' about you
Dreamin' isn't black and white
Can't make no gain 'til my vision c-comes true
Give it to me like I'd like to give it to you

Chorus:
Love I wanna feel your love
Right from the bottom of your heart to your hands
(now baby now) Love I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you boy I can't stand

Bein' just who you wanna be and doin' whatever
comes to mind now
I gotta get information
Never knew what to do with you
You're givin' me somethin' to hold on to
My newest infatuation
"People Power" means I gotta believe you
Can't you hear the voices callin'
Keep your flowers 'cause their colour will turn blue
Give it to me like I'd like to give it to you

Repeat Chorus

Love I wanna feel your love
Right from the bottom of your heart to your hands
(now baby now) Love I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you boy I can't stand

Repeat Chorus

Alanis Morissette - Fear of Bliss

My misery has enjoyed company
and although I have ached
I don't threaten anybody
sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to

I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
my happy endings prevented

sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do

fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)

I could be golden I could be glowing I could be freedom
but that could be boring

sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you

this talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down
under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone

I could be full I could be thriving I could be shining
sounds isolating

sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do

Alanis Morissette - Fake Plastic Trees

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man,
A cracked polystyreneman
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery

For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears...
She looks like the real thing.
She tastes like the real thing,
My fake plastic love
But i can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If i just turn and run.
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
If i could be who you wanted
If i could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time.

Alanis Morissette - Faith

Faith
Alanis Morissette
Composição: Indisponível

My unborn forgive me
I only wish I had the strength to bring
You into this world
More faithful

Alanis Morissette - Excuses

Why no one will help me
i am too dumb i am too smart
they'll not understand me
i am lonely
they'll hate me
and there is not enough time
it's too hard to help me
and god wants me to work
no resting no lazy
These excuses how they served me so well
they've kept me safe
they've kept me stoic
they've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home
it takes far too much energy
and i cannot afford to
no one will ever see me
These excuses how they served me so well
they've kept me safe
they've kept me stoic
they've kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
they've kept me small
they've kept me blocked
they've kept me safe inside my shell
Bringing this into the light
shakes their foundation
and it clears my side
now my imagination
is the only thing that limits
the bar that is raised to the heights
No one can have it all see
i have to they want me to
and i can't let them down
i'll never be happy
These excuses how they served me so well
they've kept me safe
they've kept me small
they've kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
they've kept me small
they've kept me stoic
they've kept me locked inside my cell

Alanis Morissette - Everything

I can be an asshole* of the grandest kind (*in x-rated version asshole= a nightmare)
i can withhold like it’s going out of style
i can be the moodiest baby, and you’ve never met anyone (who’s)
as negative i am sometimes
I am the wisest woman you’ve ever met
i am the kindest soul with whom you’ve got it that
i have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen, and you’ve never met anyone (who’s)
as positive as i am sometimes
*(in the radio version 4 sentences above are different, see below)
You see everything
you see every part
you see all my light
and you love my dark
you dig everything
of which i’m ashamed
there’s not anything
to which you can’t relate. and you’re still here
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
my passive aggressiveness can be devastating
i’m the most gorgeous woman that you’ve ever known, and you’ve never met anyone (who’s)
as everything as i am sometimes
You see everything
you see every part
you see all my light
and you love my dark
you dig everything
of which i’m ashamed
there’s not anything
to which you can’t relate. and you’re still here
What i resist, persists, and speaks louder than i know
what i resist, you love, no matter how low or high i go
You see everything
you see every part
you see all my light
and you love my dark
you dig everything
of which i’m ashamed
there’s not anything
to which you can’t relate.
(outro) and you’re still here.

*radio version
The first 8 sentences/2 paragraphs change (to make the song shorter):
I can be an asshole* of the grandest kind (*in x-rated version asshole= a nightmare)
i can withhold like it’s going out of style
i have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen, and you’ve never met anyone (who’s)
as positive as i am sometimes
The rest of the song continues as above

Alanis Morissette - Eight Easy Steps

How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solveable predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you

How to keep people at arms length and never get too close
How to mistrust the ones who supposedly love the most
How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone

[chorus:]
I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships looks when tought by the best

How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist
How to play all pious when you're really a hypocrite
How to hate god when you're a player and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies by fears of success

[chorus]

I've been doing research for years
I've been practicing my ass off
I've been training my whole life for this moment I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you

[chorus]

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself
How to numb a la holic to avoid going within
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything

[chorus]

Alanis Morissette - Doth I Protest Too Much

I'm not threatened, by every pair of legs you watch go by
i don't cringe when you stare at women, it's just a thing called guy
i don't notice your sideway glances or where your loyalty lies
i'm secure and out of me, it's hard to get a rise
I'm not jealous
i don't get moved my much
i'm not enraged
not insecure as such
not going insane
rational stays in touch
doth i protest too much?
I'm not tortured by how often your busy, 'cause i've got things to do
i'm not disappointed about how you don't miss you me, cause i don't need you to
I'm not needy
i don't get clingy much
i'm not scared
i'm not afraid as such
i'm not dependent
rock solid, stays in touch
and doth i protest too much?
So much energy to prove to you
who i can't possibly be
so much energy to prove to you
i'm not who you hate for me to be
I'm not saddened and i don't miss you
'cause i have moved on too
i'm not concerned about your new lover
cause i have a new lover too
I'm not depressed
i don't get down that much
i'm not despondent
i am not dark as such
i'm never sad
keep chin up, stays in touch
and doth i protest too much?
I'm not jealous
i don't get moved my much
i'm not enraged
not insecure as such
not going insane
rational stays in touch
and doth i protest too much?

Alanis Morissette - Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence

by Lennon/McCartney
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play
Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?Look around round
Look around round round
Look aroundDear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and playLook around round
Look around round round
Look aroundWe can work it out...

Alanis Morissette - Crazy

A man decides after seventy years,
That's what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip.

But we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless we are a little...

...Crazy...

...Yellow people walking through my head.
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no!

If all were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe...
Miracles will happen as we speak.

But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy.
No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little... crazy...
No no, we'll never survive, unless we get a little bit...

In a world full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly,
Ain't that crazy?
crazy... crazy... crazy...

No we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy..
No we're never gonna to survive unless, we are a little..crazy..
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit...

And then you see things
The size
Of which you've never known before

They'll break it

Someday...

Only child know....

Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before

Someday...

Alanis Morissette - Citizen of the planet

I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full

Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
look to the horizon

wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings

I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisoner homes for rehabilitating

Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but
everything is different

So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by
callings from beyond

So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred

I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin

I am a citizen of the planet
democracy's kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent

And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade's a flurry of
smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric though fields of every
color one culture to another

I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized

I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in

I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching*
Besotten with human condition
these ideals are borne from my deepest within

Alanis Morissette - Can't Not

I’d be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
would I be letting you win in my non reaction?
how would I explain?
how would I explain this to my children if I had them?
because I can't not
because I can't not
because I can't afford to be misread one more time
would it be whining if I said I needed a hug?
would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?
and how can I complain?
and how can I complain when I'm the one that reaches for this?
because I can't not
because I can't not
because I cannot walk without my crutches
because I can't not
because I can't not
because I can't help wonder why you ask me
to all the unheard wisdom in the school yard
you think you're the right ones
you swear you're the charmed ones I'm sure
but how can you go on with such conviction?
who do you think you are when you question me?
because we can't not
because we can't not
because we can't help laugh at underestimations
because we can't not
because we can't not
because we can't afford to be misled one more time
because we can't not
because we can't not
because we cannot help without your willingness
why do you affect me? why do you affect me still?
why do you hinder me? why do you hinder me still?
why do you unnerve me? why do you unnerve me still?
why do you trigger me? why do you trigger me still?

Alanis Morissette - Can't Deny

Cant Deny

It's late at night and no one's around
And only my heart is making a sound
I lay awake alone in my bed
And I can't sleep should I call you instead

I think of you far too much 'cause you, you're one of a kind
I'm not like an open book
'cause I've got something in mind

[CHORUS:]
You know I can't deny the way I feel inside
I won't be hiding my love
You know I can't disguise you're always on my mind
And now I can't get enough

Give me love, I know that you can
I like the strength of a confident man
It's in my blood and all through my veins
You feel it once and you're never the same

Whenever I close my eyes you're there. I feel it inside
But why am I holding in my love, I can't tell you why

[CHORUS]

I think of you far too much 'cause you, you're one of a kind
I'm not like an open book 'cause I've got something in mind
You know I , you know I, I can't deny
Every day you're always on my mind
You know I , you know I, I can't disguise
Can't deny the way I feel inside

[CHORUS]

Alanis Morissette - Break

Indeed I have sucked it up to heights
Unknown to those outside
My body has contained and suppressed
And swallowed and abetted
Oh I am a stranger to myself
Beneath altruism dwells
A force uncontended
A voice that is tempered
To boiled and unhindered

Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't say something soon
I will break from the weight of the high road I take
No

Indeed I need my chance to fail
Some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
Unbridled, unbrazened
So I need imaginings of maiming
Fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
Uncontained, unforgiving

Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No

I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
The sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out

Who am I kidding?
I am not some Mother Theresa
If I don't do something soon
I will die from restraint
As a sick subjugate
No

Alanis Morissette - Bitch

I hate the world today
You're so good to me I know that I can't change
I tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath; innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried; Must've been relief to see the softer side
I can undertsand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you; I'm a little bit of everything
all roled into one

(Coro:)
I'm a Bitch I'm a Lover
I'm a child I'm a Mother
I'm a sinner I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
you know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This might mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
I'm going to extremes; Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

(Coro)

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changin'
I think it's cool; you do what you do
And don't try to save me

(Coro)

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess of my knees
When you hurt; when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I'm enough; I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Alanis Morissette - Big bad love

I'm having dreams in the night of you baby
And Sigmund Freud would have thought I was crazy
I wonder why you've become an obsession
All I know is that I need to have your big bad love
Big bad love (3k)
You keep on lovin' and lyin'
You've turning me into a fool babe
But I'm not screamin' or cryin'
There's better things we have to do baby

It takes a lot for me to truly believe
That you could love me unconditionally
And I'm terrified of taking a chance
If you're not ready to believe in romance

Who...I wonder why I am so unrelentless
There's nothing that I can do to prevent this
And the dream I am not apprehensive
All I know is that I need to have your...

(Coro:)
Big bad love
I need a love with an attitude
Big bad love
The only kind that I want from you
Big bad love
I need it from you so urgently
Big bad love...need it baby yeah yeah yeah

I'm not avoidin' your lovin'
'Cause I can afford to be blue babe
I keep on pushin' and shovin'
I can't get enough out of you baby

I don't believe your blood is bad to the bone
'Cause then you're different when we're here all alone
And if you knew the game I wanted to play
Now would you say the words I want you to say ...who

I'm am so relentless...I can't prevent this... I am not apprehensive
All I know is that I need to have your big bad love

Alanis Morissette - Bent For You

Bent For You

by N/A
You're unsure and you're not ready so that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested and to you I look for comfort

A million times in a million ways I will try to change you
A million months and a million days I'll try to somehow convince you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you and I'm done
I have deferred to you and enabled you and I'm done

You're too young or you're too old or you're simply not inclined
You're asleep or you're withholding be that my cue to crave you

Several times in several ways I'll try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways I'll feast on scraps thrown from you

I have bent for you and I've deprived for you and I'm done
I have depressed for you and contorted for you and I'm done
I have stifled for you and I've compromised for you and I'm done
I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you and I'm done

It won't be long before I am reclaimed
It won't take long and I'll be on path again
It won't be easy for us to disengage
I'm at the end of self deprivation stage

You're afraid of every woman afraid of your inner workings
You cringe at the thought of living under the same roof as me god and everything

A million times and a million ways I've tried to alter to match you
Several times every several days I've tried to uncrush on you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you and I'm done
I have deferred to you and enabled you and I'm done
I have bent for you and I've deprived for you and I'm done
I have depressed for you and contorted for you and I'm done

it won't be easy for us to disengage
I'm at the end of self deprivation stage

you're afraid of every woman afraid of your inner workings
you cringe at the thought of living under the same roof as me god and everything

a million times and a million ways I've tried to alter to match you
several times every several days I've tried to uncrush on you

Alanis Morissette - Awekening Americans

We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus
We kill our own and we vote for the men
The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim

I wonder how we change if we can in this land
I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together
us priveleged Americans

We pass our revisions onto the next generation
We kneel to the Gods of corporation
We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest
with our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best"

I wonder what we change in this land, cause we can
Even with western centricity this rampant
us ugly Americans

Tired are not my hands
but see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real.
for me this awakening Canadian

We teach our offspring for themselves, every man
We shrug shoulders and create yet another -ism
We dissuade our young from using their imagination
We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation

I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together
us awakening Americans

Alanis Morissette - Are You Still Mad

Are you still mad i kicked you out of bed
are you still mad i gave you ultimatums?
are you still mad i compared you to all
my forty year old male friends?
are you still mad i shared our problems
with everybody
are you still mad i had an emotional affair?
are you still mad i tried to mold you into
who i wanted you to be?
are you still mad i didn't trust your intentions?
of course you are
of course you are
are you still mad that i flirted wildly?
are you still mad i had a tendency to mother you?
are you still mad that i had one foot out the door?
are you still mad that we slept together even after
we had ended it?
of course you are
of course you are
are you still mad i wore the pants most of the time?
are you still mad that i seemed to focus
only on your potential?
are you still mad that i threw in the towel?
are you still mad that i gave up long before you did?
of course you are
of course you are

Alanis Morissette - An Emotion Away

An Emotion Away

I had high expectations
It's something I could not compromise
And when I saw you I wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise

Who...And when I think of the time I met you
The situation looked harmless
It wasn't long before I got confused enough
And soon I realized that your...

[CHORUS:]
Love is just an emotion away
I know it's gonna get to you
Love will be only a moment away
A moment away you know it's true

Lately the way I'm feeling
It's something I could never have planned
I knew that one day I'd find a love thing
Now I'll never stop believing in chance

I put my heart on a shelf forever
I never thought I would find you
I didn't know any better baby
But then I realized that your...

[CHORUS]

Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you're gonna get some

Alanis Morissette - All I Really Want

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
and you say, how appropriate.
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance

Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I'm fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature

What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around... all around

Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this!?
Did yo uthink about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you olong for hte next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A sould to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no cencept of time other an it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice

Alanis Morissette - A Man

I am a man as a man I've been told
Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
Years I have groveled repentance ignored

And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended

I am man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged women
I am son who was raised by such men
I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among

And I have been shamed
And I have relented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
And I have been shamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended

we don't fare well with endless reprimands
we don't do well with a life served as a sentence
this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence
I am a man who understands your resistance

I am a man who still does what he can
to dispel our archaic reputation
I am a man who has heard all he can
cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment

Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
And we have been blamed and we have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended

Alanis Morissette - 8 Easy Steps

How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solvable predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you
How to keep people at arms length and never get to close
How to mistrust the ones you supposedly love the most
How to pretend you’re fine and don’t need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you’re helping

I’ll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
In the course of a lifetime you’ll never forget
I’ll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I’ll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best

How to hate women when you’re supposed to be a feminist
How to play all highest when you’re really a hypocrite
How to hate God when you’re a prayer and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies

(Coro)

I’ve been doing research for years
I’ve been practicing my ass off
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment, I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well versed leader before you

(Coro)

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when you’re thinking of killing yourself
How to normalaholic (?) to avoid going within
How to stay stuck in your life blaming them

(Coro) (2x)

Alanis Morissette - 21 Things I Want In A Lover

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition
Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
That it alone does not equate wisdom
Do you see everything as an illusion?
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
And don't beleive in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny
Self-depreciating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
There are no worried and definitely no pressure in the mean time
I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you inhibited in bed? more that three times a week?
Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
Are you not addicted?

....curious and communicative ....

Alanis Morissette - 20/20

I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'
I would never have held on so tightly

I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no's, my unwavering yes's
Risked abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect

This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would've gone slower
Pushed infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would've shown restraint as my feet got wet
I would've baby-stepped into intimate


This fountain of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty
This torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would've known much more
Known that time was all we had for future depth to unfold
I would've had more faith at every step
I would've kept intact through the whole process

Oh this fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened if i knew then what i know now

Alanis Morissette - 1974

Alanis Morissette - 1974

I was born in 1974
on a calm meticulous street
someplace in the sun
oh the air was sweet
and enough lights sprang sparks
through the window of the room
not as raw to a ridiculous tune
slightly out of key in the mother hour

So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones

I was born in 1974
in a breached feet-first way
my twin opened the door
my very first dose of chivalry
I was dawned princess potential potent
with gold star and matching impression
big between two doors
small and loved and proud and unthreatened

So leave me alone
So leave me alone
So leave me alone
I'm busy breaking bones

I bet you were strong
when you should have been weak
like a dam that wanted to break
I wish I were the stones
your river learned to roam
in whispering gaze

You were told in a kind North Carolinian way
to slow down, back up, or be hated
thank god you did not
and thank god you did
an angel either way

So leave us alone
So leave us alone
So leave us alone
We're busy being grown

Alanis Morissette - (Change Is) Never A Waste Of Time

Never A Waste Of Time

I know there's a reason you're forcing a smile
You hide what you're feeling and you have for a while
I can tell that you're falling
And you feel that you can't go on
But a new day is calling
And you'll see that the feeling is gone

[CHORUS:]
You know you're not the only one
Who has a lot to overcome
And when the time has come then you move on
'Cause you've been crying for too long
Sometimes life is so unkind
But change is never a waste of time

I know how you're feeling, I've been there before
The hurting is something much to strong to ignore
Don't be waiting for someone
Who can take all your fear away
When there's no one to listen
That is when you should not be afraid

[CHORUS]

But change is never a waste... it's never a waste of time
