    Fiona Apple The First Taste Lyrics

    I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
    Waiting for the black to replace my blue
    I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
    But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
    Of waiting to be consumed by you

    Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
    Forever
    Darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win but you must
    Make the endeavor

    Oh, your love give me a heart contusion
    Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
    Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
    I'm building memories on things we have not said
    Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not
    nearly

    Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
    Forever
    Darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win, but you must
    Make the endeavor

    OK, I'm not getting any work done, but I enjoyed your list so far.

    One more and I'm out, this song sends chills, down, not up my spine...

    "Mad World"All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for their daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere
    And their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow, no tomorrow
    And I find it kind of funny
    I find it kind of sad
    The dreams in which I'm dying
    Are the best I've ever had
    I find it hard to tell you
    'Cos I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles
    It's a very, very
    Mad World
    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
    Made to feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen, sit and listen
    Went to school and I was very nervous
    No one knew me, no one knew me
    Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
    Look right through me, look right through me

    Come Together-- Michael Chapdelaine~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u55G1VGuTfs

    Rain Dance -- Michael Chapdelaine~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdczUV8uN1U

    Michael Chapdelaine -- Recuerdos de la Alhambra~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKuwjOwaQxY

    Michael Chapdelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres; the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championships at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield , Kansas. From New York's Lincoln Center to the Cactus Cafe in Austin, from Milano to Bangkok, Michael continues to enchant, dazzle and surprise audiences and critics alike as he redefines the modern acoustic guitar with his amazing technique, "soulful" expressiveness, and versatility as a performer, composer and arranger/producer. His performances, played on both steel string and classical guitars, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to rhythm n' blues as he wins his audiences hearts with breath taking technique and the poetic magic of his original musical portraits and landscapes.

    In the 80's and 90's Michael proved himself to be one of the world's finest classical guitarists; twice winning the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant, and taking First Prize in both the Guitar Foundation of America's and the Music Teachers National Association's Guitar Competitions. He also won the Silver Medal in Venezuela's VIII Concurso International de Guitarra "Alirio Diaz". He has toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc., and various arts promotion organizations.

    In 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD, (now re-released as "Mexico"), which many critics and connoisseurs of classical guitar consider to be one of the definitive recordings for the instrument. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote "... if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings, this one would be among my choices...I have seldom heard a more beautiful album. Other young guitarists have excellent technique, but few have such style and musicality, and Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall." In 1994 Michael turned his attention to pop music, in arranging, producing and recording Time-Life Music's beautiful Guitar by Moonlight collection (also released as "with love"), which sold 250,000 copies in it's first two years in the stores. In 1998, he once again, expanded his musical range and gained instant notoriety and credibility in the "acoustic music" world as a "fingerstyle" guitarist and composer, by winning the National Fingerpicking Championships at Winfield.

    Michael is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico, and has previously been on the faculties of the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University. He has given master classes throughout the world including, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Venezuela, Taiwan, Indonesia and at institutions such as, University of Miami, Mannes School of Music, University of Texas, and California State University. His teachers included the great Spanish maestro Andres Segovia.

    Just something I really love to relax to. Thought maybe Terry might like the third song listed if he gets this deep into the thread. lol

    Ringo5~ I love Gary Jules music! I had his song, 'Falling Awake' on myspace for a long time. First off I really get chilled also at Mad World. I am really sensitive to music, words, thoughtssuch as writing or poetry, etc. Conversations. Just people and how they function. I guess anything with feeling. So something like that song. Well It is a two razor song. Meaning after I have to go shave again for it makes all leg hairs stand straight up!!

    FALLING AWAKE -- posted by Gary Jules

    Eagle in the dark
    Feathers in the pages.
    Monkeys in my heart
    Are rattling their cages.


    Found a way to blue
    And another ghost to follow
    Said “it’s only up to you”
    And that’s the hardest pill to swallow.

    You never get to choose
    You live on what they sent you
    And you know they’re gonna use
    The things you love against you

    One foot in the grave
    One foot in the shower
    There’s never time to save
    You’re paying by the hour

    And that’s just the way it goes
    Falling awake
    And that’s just the way it goes


    Slipping through the bars
    Aware of the danger
    Of riding in the cars
    Taking candy from strangers

    And it’s never out of hand
    Never out of pocket
    I’m supersonic man
    Do you wanna buy a rocket?

    And that’s just the way it goes
    Falling awake, falling awake
    Oh that’s just the way it goes
    Falling awake, falling awake

    Eagle in the dark
    Feathers in the pages
    Monkeys in my heart
    Are rattling their cages

    I could learn to play the game
    I could learn to run the hustle
    If I only had the brains
    The money or the muscle

    Lyle Lovett: She's No Lady
    She hates my mama
    She hates my daddy too
    She loves to tell me
    She hates the things I do
    She loves to lie beside me
    Almost every night
    She's no lady she's my wife

    The preacher asked her
    And she said I do
    The preacher asked me
    And she said yes he does too
    And the preacher said
    I pronounce you 99 to life
    Son she's no lady she's your wife

    And I can't remember
    How I met her
    Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm
    And I can't remember
    How I ever
    Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm


    [She's No Lady lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
    And even though
    She loves the smell of french perfume
    And even though
    She walks around in high-heel shoes
    All I know
    Is I'm the one who pays her price
    Man she's no lady she's my wife

    And I can't remember
    How I met her
    Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm
    And I can't remember
    How I ever
    Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm

    Yea she hates my mama
    She hates my daddy too
    She loves to tell me
    She hates the things I do
    She loves to lie beside me
    Almost every night
    She's no lady she's my wife

    Santana~ Maria Maria

    Ho Maria Maria
    She reminds me of a west side story
    Growing up in Spanish Harlem
    She's living the life just like a movie star
    Ho Maria Maria
    She fell in love in East L.A.
    To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
    Played by Carlos Santana

    Stop the looting, stop the shooting
    Pick pocking on the corner
    See as the rich is getting richer
    The poor is getting poorer
    Se mira Maria on the corner
    Thinking of ways to make it better
    In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
    Somebody just said see you later

    Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
    Ahora vengo mama chola
    Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
    Ahora vengo mama chola

    Ho Maria Maria
    She reminds me of a west side story
    Growing up in Spanish Harlem
    She's living the life just like a movie star
    Ho Maria Maria
    She fell in love in East L.A.
    To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
    Played by Carlos Santana

    I said a la favella los colores
    The streets are getting hotter
    There is no water to put out the fire
    Mi canto la esperanza
    Se mira Maria on the corner
    Thinking of ways to make it better
    Then I looked up in the sky
    Hoping of days of paradise

    Ahora vengo mama chola mama cholaAhora vengo mama chola
    Maria you know you're my lover
    When the wind blows I can feel you
    Through the weather and even when we're apart
    It feels like we're together

    The Game of love - Santana feat. Michelle Branch

    Tell me
    Just what you want me to be
    One kiss
    And boom you're the only one for me
    So please tell me
    Why don't you come around no more?
    Cause right now
    I'm crying outside the door of your candy store

    Chorus:
    It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
    It started with a kiss
    Now we're up to bat
    A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
    I'm telling you my babe
    It's all in the game of ...

    Love is
    Whatever you make it to be
    Sunshine
    Instead of this cold lonely sea
    So pleased baby
    Try and use me for what I'm good for
    It ain't saying goodbye
    It's knocking down the door of your candy store

    Chorus:
    It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
    It started with a kiss
    Now we're up to bat
    A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
    I'm telling you my babe
    It's all in the game of love
    It's all in the game of love

    You roll me
    Control me
    Console me
    Please hold me
    You guide me
    Divide me
    Into me

    Solo:
    (wanna make you mine)
    So please tell me
    Why don't you come around no more?
    Cause right now
    I'm dying outside the door of your loving store

    Chorus:
    It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
    It started with a kiss
    Now we're up to bat
    A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
    I'm telling you my babe
    It's all in the game of love
    It's all in the game of love
    It's all in the game of love
    Let's play the game of love

    Roll me
    Control me
    Console me
    Please hold me
    In this game of love
    I'm out here on my own

    Ok, now I am going to bed. Hope this wakes you up well and dancing this fine morning!!
