I Miss The Band lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Inside joke, well understood
The nudge, nudge, wink, wink
And finishing each other's harmonies
The late night drive through Italian roads
Trains pulling out and we're holding on a secret
Where did you go?
We are a league to be reckoned with
As we run all around the planet
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss traveling in your company
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We're on a plane, we're in Japan
In baggage claim I ask, what city we just landed in
And the paper slips under the hotel door
I'm shaking all hands
The hum-of-the-road keeps me happy
Where did you go?
I thought we'd meet at the temple
As we go all around this world
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss adventure in your company
Hugs full of sweat and the late night call in tears
Lights that are blinding, then onto the next country
The ritual huddle as we storm the stage
The sense on the street of this beautiful world
I miss my family, my ears are ringing
The sun streams in on my unmade bed in Portugal
And I miss the band
One plus one equals fifty
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss the pleasure of your company
Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) lyrics - Alanis Morissette
(from "De-Lovely" soundtrack)
But that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain the best upper-sets do it
Lithuanians and Lats do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Dutch in Old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it, think of Siamese twins
Some Argentinians without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams against their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mosquitoes heaven forbid do it
So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of moth balls?
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over-educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mercy lyrics - Alanis Morissette
We have slaughtered
In the garden of beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter justice
Begging eternity for love
We're nothing
We're everything
I am nothing
Yet I am everybody
We're nothing
And yet we are
Wisdom lights up life's road
I know you
No Return (Extended Version) lyrics - Alanis Morissette
(originally by Craig Wedren)
(from "Yellowjackets" soundtrack)
It was cool, nothing fire, nothing broke
Keep simple, nothing tired, nothing old
Same as you
Same as you
Oh, so cute, so revival, so alone
Birthday suit, just a smile, no one home
Same as you
Same as you
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
Carve your name on arrival, don't pass go
Lipstick stain on the rifle blowing smoke
Same as you
Same as you
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
No return, no return, no reason
Olive Branch lyrics - Alanis Morissette
This is where righteousness ends
It's a relief to wave this overdue white flag and
My blind spots have tortured you enough
How much salt could I pour in
To think that I called myself a friend?
And here is my olive branch
I'm so sorry
Mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
I'm ready for the consequences
It's unnerving to admit
I'm amazed that you have stood by all this time
My defenses triggered you enough
And all of this in retrospect
I'm riddled with a deep regret
And here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
And mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
No pressure for you to let me in
And here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
And mea culpa
I'm reaching out to make amends
If I had it to do over again
Here is my olive branch
And I'm so sorry
On The Road Again lyrics - Alanis Morissette (feat. and originally by Willie Nelson)
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Going places that I've never been
Seeing things that I may never see again
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keeps turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keeps turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
Predator lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
First I am spotted across the room
Sussed out for the degree of naïveté
When I make the cut, then all systems go
And you take your first step toward me
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My honesty is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Your system of madness to mimic connection
Then you engender my trust as you pounce
You isolated and then divert attention
Distract from deception keep me in the dark
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My kindness is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
Ooh, ooh, aah
You kept me off balance with your charming deflection
You kept me distracted, couldn't pick this apart
What started as union, turned to isolation
And you are obsessed with your prey
My eyes are invitations, my welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My trusting is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is learning to be discerning
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Princes Familiar lyrics - Alanis Morissette
Please be philosophical
Please be tapped into your femininity
Please be able to take the wheel from me
Please be crazy and curious
Papa, love your princess
So that she will find loving princes familiar
Papa, cry for your princess
So that she will find gentle princes familiar
Please be a sexaholic
Please be unpredictably miserable
Please be self absorbed much (not the good kind)
Please be addicted to some substance
Papa, listen to your princess
So that she will find attentive princes familiar
Papa, hear your princess so that she will find curious princes familiar
Please be the jerk of my knee
I've fit you always
You finish my sentences
I think I love you
What is your name again
No matter
I'm guessing your thoughts again correctly
And I love
The way you press my buttons so much sometimes I could strangle you
Papa, laugh with your princess
So that she will find funny princes familiar
Papa, respect your princess
So that she will find respectful princes familiar
Papa, love your princess
So that she will find loving princes familiar
Papa, cry for your princess
So that she will find gentle princes familiar
Please be strangely enigmatic
Please be just like my
Souleye + Ever + Me + Love = Sweetness lyrics - Alanis Morissette
It started harmless enough
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed
You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope
And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I've known
Happy anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
Continued and softened us up
Our rocks are hewn by this water of love
And steadfast our pinky swear
And out comes fun
Out comes relief
Out comes championing unlike any I've known
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
How far have we come?
And how far we've yet to go
'Til we're gray, great grandparents?
'Til we're one tiny little wrinkle?
I say: I do, I do, I do
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
And so, we'll trapse
From paper through diamonds
A family tree's genesis
Our fingers t'wining together
And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest
Happy anniversary baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy anniversary darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
