Lyrics: Everything - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


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

Lyrics: You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


I want you to know
That I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but
The best for you both

An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

Chorus:
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well
Things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well
I thought you should know

Did you forget about me
Mister Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

(Chorus)

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone elses back
I hope you feel it
Well can you feel it?

(Chorus 2x)

Lyrics: Uninvited - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


Like anyone would be
i am flattered by your fascination with me
like any hot-blooded woman
i have simply wanted an object to crave
but you, you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

must be strangely exciting
to watch the stoic squirm
must be somewhat heartening
to watch shepard meet shepard
but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

like any uncharted territory
i must seem greatly intriguing
you speak of my love like
you have experienced love like mine before
but this is not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

i don't think you unworthy
i need a moment to deliberate.

Lyrics: Crazy - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


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...

Lyrics: You Learn - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (like a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Lyrics: Bitch - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


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

Lyrics: Head Over Feet - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


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

Lyrics: Ironic - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

Chorus:
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well, isn't this nice. And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?

Repeat Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

Repeat Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
helping you out

Lyrics: That I Would Be Good - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer Queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowin

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you..

Lyrics: 21 Things I Want In A Lover - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


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 ....

Lyrics: Hand In My Pocket - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everthing's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
is that everything's gonna be quite alright
cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other is flicking a cigarette
What is all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken $I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...

Lyrics: Thank U - Alanis Morissette

Category: , , , ,


How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
How bout that ever elusive kudo

Chorus:

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout greiving it all one at a time

Chorus

The moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle the moment I jumped off of it, was the moment I touched down

How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence yeah yeah

Whooa Whooa Whooa...........
