Lyrics – Lynne Newman

It’s all about the Music. It’s always been about the Music. It will always be about the Music, but Lyrics are Magical too!
Lynne Newman

Here are the lyrics, in case you feel like singing along.

I CAN’T STAND IT

Too many times I fall back
Catching myself in the same trap
Too many times I fall in
Putting myself through the same thing
Wearing a new face of Love

  I Can’t Stand It, Here we go again, Here we go again    
  I Can’t Stand it, Here we go again 

Too many times I fall down
Feel like I’m covering the same ground
And too many times I get hurt
End up wearing the same dirt
Over and over again

  I Can’t Stand It, New face, a new place to start 
  I Can’t Stand it, Here we go again 

Every time I jump in
It always ends up that I win
Cause I get to see what I’m like
I get to learn about me
No more fantasy

  I Can’t Stand It, Yes I can, it makes me who I am 
  I Can’t Stand it, Here we go again

INNER REVOLUTION

You told me there was a reason to carry on, carry on
Told me now is the season to be strong, to be strong
Then I found myself singing the same old song, same old song
Then I found myself asking what went wrong, what went wrong

  You know you can’t tell me what to want
  You know you can’t tell me what to need
  You know you can’t tell me what to feel
  Inner Revolution
 
There go your commitments to the wind, to the wind
Most of it positive fiction, its never been, never been
Then the ground was shaking and very thin, very thin
And my heart was breaking again, again

  You know you can’t tell me what to want
  You know you can’t tell me what to need
  You know you can’t tell me what to feel
  Inner Revolution
  
Took a circular highway to the sky, to the sky
But now I’m back and its time to say goodbye, say goodbye
Bitter sweet of addiction is running dry, running dry
Sweetly replaced by my Inner Revolution inside

  You know you can’t tell me what to want
  You know you can’t tell me what to need
  You know you can’t tell me what to feel
  Inner Revolution

OPEN EYES

In an Open Eye I see fantasy
That I know might never ever ever be
An illusion of Life's destiny
It's a dream

And I know the sun ain't always shining down
And I know that Love is in the lost and found
An illusion standing on such solid ground
It's a dream

In an Open Eye I see mystery
That I know might never ever ever be
An illusion shaped in a golden key
Make-Believe

And I know the bitter sweetness of success
And I know the sword can wield a double edge
An illusion floating in a feathered nest
Wonder why, because I

  Close my eyes and you're still there
  Close my eyes and you're everywhere
  Close your eyes baby if you dare

In the evening when the sun goes down
In the quiet when there's no one around
And I'm going to take you at my leisure
You are my treasure

LONG LONG WAY

Sometimes I find myself running wild
I am running like a little child
Sometimes I find myself running free
And a cloud comes over covering me
  And so I reach for high, I’m up here in the sky
  Everything’s magnified and it’s a long way down
  I’m up here in the sky and everything’s such a Long Long Way
 
Sometimes I find myself talking fast
I am talking at the speed of breaking glass
Sometimes I find myself talking free
And a cloud comes over covering me
  And so I reach for high, I’m up here in the sky
  Everything lost is found and it’s a long way down
  I’m up here in the sky and everything’s such a Long Long Way
 
   Ooh ah, Such a Long Long Way
 
Sometimes I find myself loving free
I am loving all Eternity
Sometimes I find myself loving me 
And a cloud comes over covering me
  And so I reach for high, I’m up here in the sky
  Everything’s magnified and it’s a long way down
  I’m up here in the sky and everything’s such a Long Long Way
 
   Ooh ah, Such a Long Long Way

MORE!

I Love You
Love you and all you do
I love you More                                            

  More than ordinary, Quite extraordinary
  More than necessary, Just a little scary, oh                                                           
  More than voluntary, I’m a little wary                                                                
  More than you get to know

I love you More!

OUTSIDE

Standing on the Outside looking in
Being on the Outside, it’s a special thing
Making my own rules, I get to live my dreams
Standing on the Outside I get to see just where I’ve been
 
  So much of heartache and such pain
  Feels like I’m never ever gonna love again
  Never ever gonna love again
 
Standing on the Outside looking in
Being on the Outside, it’s a very scary thing
White picket fences, loose your name and have some kids
I’m standing on the Outside and I don’t want to live that dream
 
  So many lives are torn apart
  Feels like I’m never ever gonna give my heart
  Never ever gonna give my heart
 
I see you on the inside looking out
But I’m here on the Outside and I can feel your doubt
There’s no right or wrong here, we all do what we can
And I’m standing on the Outside, I get to see just who I am
 
  So much of heartache and such pain
  Feels like I’m never ever gonna love again
  Never ever gonna love again

XMAS

Xmas is coming, Xmas is here
Summer and Passion, It's that crazy time of year
So many Xmas parties, Smiles that are frozen on
For some a Festive season, Some of us fester On

  Joy to the World, Some of us fester on
  Joy to the World, Some of us fester on

Caroles by Candle, Santa and Deer
Most of us love it, But I find it hard to bear
So many Picture parties, Happening in my head
So many painful memories, So many people dead

  Joy to the World, So many people dead
  Joy to the World, So many people dead

Frenzy of Feasting, Bubbles and cheers
Family and Presents, I have cried my Tinsel Tears
So many Xmas Parties, Smiles that are frozen on
For some a Festive Season, Some of us Fester on

  Joy to the World, Some of us Fester On
  Joy to the World, Some of us Fester On

Xmas is coming

ANCHOR BAY

I want someone to put their arms around me
To hold me tight and tell me its alright, all is well
Because I'm frightened of the Night
And I'm not alright
 
  Alright I'm not alright, Alright I'm not alright
  Alright I'm not alright, Alright I'm not alright
 
I close my eyes and wish he was here with me
I close my eyes and wish him in my life, in my life
I choose to dream that he'll stay
That he will anchor in my bay
 
  He will anchor in my bay, He will anchor in my bay
  He will anchor in my bay, He will anchor in my bay
  Alright I'm not alright, Alright I'm not alright
  Alright I'm not alright, Alright I'm not alright
 
I wish and dream because I have not found him
Not yet.
