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

I Am Kloot - To You

The gods and the saints preserve you,
Cos nobody here deserves you,
I’m living my life in flashback,
Since I lost my card or cashback,
And I’ve gone to wrack and ruin,
Since I don’t know what you’re doing,
There’s no clear or present danger
That I see in any stranger.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Will someone somewhere set me free,
Wont hurry up or harry me,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you.

The line on the screen has broken,
What once was asleep has woken,
I cover your face in make-up praying
You’ll one day wake up,
I’ve littered my life with magic,
Yet I’m neither dead nor tragic,
The gods and the saints preserve you
Cos nobody here deserves you.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Will someone somewhere set me free,
From all that I’m supposed to be,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Wont someone somewhere marry me
Wont hurry up or harry me,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you

I Am Kloot - Morning Rain

Unscrew your face from your laptop screen
See the people, the places in your magazines
They’re a big headed bunch, you know what I mean
Someone made them out of plasticine.

I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Come down off your barbed wire fence
What you’re saying sounds stupid, it makes no sense
It may be used later in your defence
It may be used later as evidence for the

Morning rain, it’s me agian, I won’t go away
I’ the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Undo your head from the sink plug chain
Unscrew the cheap wine and drink like a drain
You may never want to waltz again
You may never want to walk away from

The morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Pack your bags your room’s for let
They’re putting up the barricades
And laying off all bets
I’ve never seen so many people smoke
So many cigarettes
Pack your bags now your room’s for rent

I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, don’t you know my name,
Don’t you know my name
I’m the morning rain, don’t you know my name?

I Am Kloot - Bigger Wheels

Healers, dealer, skinflick traders, save my skin for
Later or else you won’t get free,
Your dim and dismal, loves gone rotten, grim and
Greedy and best forgotten, yet still you say to me

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.

Hookers, lookers, pink skinned babies here’s a list
Of maybes I have saved for you
Your mad, appalling love and laughter,
Stuck here for ever after
Swimming all around you

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.
There are bigger deals, there are bigger wheels
Than you get through.

Healers, dealer, skinflick traders, save my skin for
Later or else you won’t get free,
Your dim and dismal, loves gone rotten, grim and
Greedy and best forgotten, and yet still you say to me

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.
There are bigger deals, there are bigger wheels
Than you get through.

Hookers, lookers, pink skinned babies here’s a list
Of maybes I have saved for you
