Get It While You Can lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Howard Tate)
In this world where people are fighting with each other
And there's no one you can count on
Not even your own brother
So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
When you love somebody
You're taking the chance on sorrow
And who knows, baby
We may not be here tomorrow
So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine protection
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
Don't you turn your back on love
Don't you turn your back on love
Once I had a good woman
But I did not count my blessings
Wish she could hear me
I've learned a better lesson
So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
You better get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
You better get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
Jump Into The Fire lyrics - Chris Cornell
You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
Oh, oh
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy
You can climb a mountain
Swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free, no, no
You can shake me up
You can bring me down
Oh, oh
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free
You can shake me up
Or I can bring you down
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
We can make each other happy
We can make each other happy
(We can make each other happy)
We can make each other happy
Jump into the fire (Jump into the fire)
Jump into the fire (Jump into the fire)
Jump into the fire (Jump into the fire)
Oh, oh
Oh
Jump into the fire
Jump into the, jump into the fire
Sad Sad City lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Ghostland Observatory)
Been getting tired of my motor running
Feeling overheated 'cause my life keeps coming
My heart's been troubled by the speed of love
Searching these streets for a soul committee
Talking ideas on lust and pity
The fables I've found have no place in my home
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Well, we roll the dice, pay the price
Dance with wolves in a pack of lies
The blood we crave will drive us all insane
Outer space is a lovely place
A long lost love in a flower vase
Laying on the floor shattered, battered and bruised
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Patience lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Guns N' Roses)
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
You set my mind at ease
There ain't no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman, take it slow, it will work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar, make it slow, we will come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
I sit here on the stairs
I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes it gets so tense
I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
If you and I just use a little patience
Said sugar, take the time, 'cause the lights are shining bright
You and I got what it takes to make it
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
You know I ain't got time for the games
'Cause I need you
Yeah, I need you
Said, woman, take it slow, it will work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar, make it slow, we will come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Nothing Compares 2 U lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Prince)
It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me
Where did I go wrong?
I can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun
No matter what you do"
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
All the flowers that you planted mama in your backyard
All died when you went away
And I know living with me is sometimes hard, but I'm willing
To give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
To you
To you
Watching The Wheels lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by John Lennon)
People say I'm crazy
Doin' what I'm doin'
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
And when I say that I'm okay
They look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now
You no longer play the game"
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
And when I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy?
You're no longer on the ball"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
People ask me questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me
As if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here, doin' time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
Just had to let it go
You Don't Know Nothing About Love lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Carl Hall)
Did you ever know what it is to be hurt?
Did you ever feel like dirt?
Did you ever give up all of your pride
Just to have her by your side?
Well, if you don't know, what I am talking about
You don't know nothing, you don't know nothing
You don't know nothing
You don't know nothing about love
When the night time comes, do your tears fall like rain?
And in the morning, do they start all over again?
Tell me, do you get down on your knees and pray
That you'll never, never, never go away?
Well, if you don't know what I am talking about
You don't know nothing, you don't know nothing
You don't know nothing
You don't know nothing about love
Don't try to tell me
That I'm out of my mind
'Cause wherever the girl goes
I'll be right behind
You don't know nothing, you don't know nothing
You don't know nothing, you don't know nothing
You don't know nothing, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know nothing about love
Showdown lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Electric Light Orchestra)
She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's raining all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown
Save me
Oh, save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's raining all over the world
And it's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
Raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's raining all over the world
And it's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
Tonight, the longest night
To Be Treated Rite lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Terry Reid)
Oh, we are what we are when in danger
And we are as we stand head in hand
When a friend brings to light
On a cold silver knife
You can stare your fate into his hands
Oh, we are what we are when we're made to
Be the sole owning guardians of land
And there's always advice
On a cold winter's night
Like your dreams are just an island in the sands
Don't it seem so strange
How it just don't change?
Things just stay the same
As they've always been
Some of us are out to win
And some of us are out to aim
Oh, we are what we are when we're praying
In our way of seeking some light
May the mission bells ring
Of the colourful dreams
In the faith that everyone is treated right
Don't it seem so strange
How it just don't change?
Things just stay the same
As they've always been
Some of us are out to win
And some of us are out just to aim
May the mission bells ring
Of the colourful dreams
In the faith that everyone is treated right
Stay With Me Baby lyrics - Chris Cornell
(originally by Lorraine Ellison)
Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby?
Who did you turn to
To find a shoulder to lay your head upon?
Oh, baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
Oh, no, can't believe you're leaving me, yeah
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
I can't go on this way
Who am I to rule the pride
Of someone else's heart, baby?
Didn't I give you everything?
But in return for a memory
Oh, I know I was there
But I didn't say a thing about taking care of you
Don't you know? You believe
I need it, yeah
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
Remember, you said you were always gonna leave
Remember, you said you were always gonna leave
Remember, remember
I can't help but wanting you, loving you
Oh, stay with me, baby
I want you to stay with me, baby
Please, stay with me, baby
All that I need is getting in there
All I need
All I, alright
Stay with me, baby
C'mon, and stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby
C'mon, please, please
Why won't you stay?
Ave Maria lyrics - Chris Cornell (feat. Eleven)
Ave Maria Maiden mild
O listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou can't save amid despair
We slumber safely 'til the morrow
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled
O maiden see a maiden's sorrow
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Undefiled
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
O maiden hear a maiden's pleading
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Stainless styled
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden
And for a father hear a child
Ave Maria
Mission 2000 lyrics - Chris Cornell (from "M:I-2" soundtrack)
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now
Smoldering down inside your mood
And fanning your eyes
I'm on a mission now
I'm gonna dive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers
Tear all your temples down
(Yeah) I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
(Hey) I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
Hah
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now
I'm gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
Tear all our temples down
Oh, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing, but then
The have is not as good as the want
I have nothing, but then
The have is not as good as the want, oh
I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now, ow
The Promise lyrics - Chris Cornell
If I had nothing to my name
But photographs of you
Rescued from the flame
That is all I would ever need
As long as I can read
What's written on your face
The strength that shines
Behind your eyes
The hope and light
That will never die
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
And you said
"The poison in a kiss
Is the lie upon the lips"
Truer words were never shared
When I feel
Like lies are all I hear
I pull my memories near
The one thing they can't take
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
The books still open on the table
The bells still ringing in the air
The dreams still clinging to the pillow
The songs still singing in a prayer
Now my soul
Is stretching through the roots
To memories of you
Back through time and space
To carry home
The faces and the names
And photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And dare to rise once more
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And fill the world with life
As we've always done
When Bad Does Good lyrics - Chris Cornell
Standing beside an open grave
Your fate decided, your life erased
Your final hour has come today
Lit by the fire of your temples burning
You are a child and so was I
Now you're a hunter but I am a lion
And I will cut you down like I've done so many times
But sometimes bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
And I heard you say that flesh sells by the pound
When blood is raining down it cuts a deep river
And I'm diving
Now shine a light down onto the earth
And shake this gold dust out, out of the dirt
No saints beside me and no prayers to guide me
Sometimes bad can do some good
Bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
I've chosen a side and I will show no pity
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
And spare no lives
For those who try me
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Let it be understood
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Sometimes bad can do some good
You Never Knew My Mind lyrics - Chris Cornell
I know you feel the way I change
But you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
One of a kind
And I think some way you'll make it
Though you don't know how to take it
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
One of a kind
There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
You never really knew my mind
You never really knew my mind
My silence holds the secrets find
I answer but don't answer
You did not see me well enough
To recognize the signs
You didn't want to notice
Or know that it was over
I did not see you well enough
To recognize the signs
And there were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Then you saw the changes painfully
And you knew
You never really knew my mind
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
Sometimes, maybe all the time
You never really knew my mind
I never really knew your mind
