Fiona Apple Lyrics

I Want You To Love Me lyrics - Fiona Apple

I've waited many years

Every print I left upon the track, has led me here

And next year, it'll be clear

This was only leading me to that

And by that time, I hope that

You love me

I move with the trees, in the breeze

I know that time is elastic

And I know when I go

All my particles disband and disperse

And I'll be back in the pulse

And I know none of this, will matter in the long run

But I know a sound, is still a sound around no one

And while I'm in this body, I want somebody to want

And I want, what I want and I want

You to love me

You

And I know that you do

In the dark, I know that you do

And I know, that you know that you got

The potential to pick me up

And I want you to use it

Blast the music

Bang it, bite it, bruise it

Whenever you want to begin, begin

We don't have to go back to where we've been

I am the woman who wants you to win, and I've been

Waiting, waiting for

You to love me

You

Shameika lyrics - Fiona Apple

I used to walk down the streets on my way to school

Grinding my teeth to a rhythm invisible

I used my feet to crush dead leaves like they had fallen from trees

Just for me

Just to be crash cymbals

In class I'd pass the time

Drawing a slash for every time the second hand went by

A group of five

Done twelve times was a minute

But

Shameika said I had potential

I used to march down the windy, windy sidewalks

Slapping my leg with a riding crop

Thinking it made me come off so tough

I didn't smile, because a smile always seemed rehearsed

I wasn't afraid of the bullies, and that just made the bullies worse

In class I'd pass the time

Drawing a slash for every time the second hand went by

A group of five

Done twelve times was a minute

But

Shameika said I had potential

Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo, that's my bird in my tree

My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity

Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo, that's my bird in my tree

My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity

Tony told me he'd describe me as pissed off, funny and warm

Sebastian said, I'm "a good man in a storm"

Back then I didn't know what potential meant and

Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend

But she got through to me and I'll never see her again

She got through to me and I'll never see her again

I'm pissed off, funny and warm

I'm a good man in a storm

And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall

Shameika said I had potential

Tony told me he'd describe me as pissed off, funny and warm

Sebastian said, I'm "a good man in a storm"

Back then I didn't know what potential meant but

Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend

But she got through to me and I'll never see her again

She got through to me and I'll never see her again

I'm pissed off, funny and warm

I'm a good man in a storm

And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall

Shameika said I had potential

Fetch The Bolt Cutters lyrics - Fiona Apple

I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend

I thought it was then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine

I was just so furious, but I couldn't show you

'Cause I know you and I know what you can do

And I don't want a war with you, I won't afford it

You get sore, even when you win

And you maim when you're on offense

But you kill when you're on defense

And you've got them all convinced

That you're the means and the end

All the VIPs and PYTs and wannabes

Afraid of not being your friend

And I've always been too smart for that

But you know what? My heart was not

I took it like a kid, you see

The cool kids voted to get rid of me

I'm ashamed of what it did to me

What I let get done

It stole my fun, it stole my fun

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long

Fetch the bolt cutters

He sings so nice, I guess he tries (I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend)

(I thought it was then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine)

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long

Fetch the bolt cutters (I've been in here too long)

Whatever happens, whatever happens (Whatever happens)

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long

Fetch the bolt cutters

While I'd not yet found my bearings

Those it girls hit the ground

Comparing the way I was to the way she was

Sayin' I'm not stylish enough and I cry too much

And I listened because I hadn't found my own voice yet

So all I could hear was the noise that

People make when they don't know shit

But I didn't know that yet

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill

When they came around, I would stand real still

A girl can roll her eyes at me and kill

I got the idea I wasn't real

I thought being blacklisted would be grist for the mill

Until I realized I'm still here (I'm still here)

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill

Shoes that were not made for running up that hill

And I need to run up that hill, I need to run up that hill

I will, I will, I will, I will, I will

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long

Fetch the bolt cutters, whatever happens, whatever happens

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long

Fetch the bolt cutters, whatever happens, whatever happens

Fetch the bolt cutters (I've been in here too long)

Whatever happens, whatever happens

Fetch the bolt cutters, fetch the bolt cutters

Fetch the bolt cutters, fetch the bolt cutters (I will, I will)

Fetch the bolt cutters, fetch the bolt cutters

Whatever happens, whatever happens

Fetch the bolt cutters (Whatever happens, whatever happens), fetch the bolt cutters

Under The Table lyrics - Fiona Apple

I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me

I told you I didn't want to go to this dinner

You know I don't go for those ones that you bother about

So when they say something that makes me start to simmer

That fancy wine won't put this fire out, oh

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

I'd like to buy you a pair of pillow-soled hiking boots

To help you with your climb

Or rather, to help the bodies that you step over, along your route

So they won't hurt like mine

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

And if I don't wanna go, leave me alone, don't push me

Cookie, don't push me, don't you push me

If you get me to go and I open my mouth

To the fucking mutton that they're talking about

You can pout, but don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you shush me

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

(I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me)

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

(I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me)

I won't shut up

And if I don't wanna go, leave me alone, don't push me

Cookie, don't push me, don't you push me

If you get me to go and I open my mouth

To the fucking mutton that they're talking about

You can pout, but don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you shush me

I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me

Kick me under the table all you want

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

(I would beg to disagree, I would beg to disagree)

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

(I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me)

I won't shut up

Kick me under the table all you want

(I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me)

I won't shut up

Relay lyrics - Fiona Apple

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

I resent you for being raised right

I resent you for being tall

I resent you for never getting any opposition at all

I resent you for having each other

I resent you for being so sure

I resent you presenting your life like a fucking propaganda brochure

And I see that you keep trying to bait me

And I'd love to get up in your face

But I know if I hate you for hating me

I will have entered the endless race

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport (Evil is)

When the one who's burned (Evil is)

Turns to pass the torch (Evil is a relay sport)

Evil is a relay sport (Evil is)

When the one who's burned (Evil is)

Turns to pass the torch (Evil is a relay sport)

I resent you for being raised right

I resent you for being tall

I resent you for never getting any opposition at all

I resent you for having each other

I resent you for being so sure

I resent you presenting your life like a fucking propaganda brochure

And I see that you keep trying to bait me

And I'd love to get up in your face

But I know it if I hate you for hating me

I will have entered the endless race

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport (Evil is)

When the one who's burned (Evil is)

Turns to pass the torch (Evil is a relay sport)

Evil is a relay sport (Evil is)

When the one who's burned (Evil is)

Turns to pass the torch (Hurt myself even more)

I'm sorry

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Evil is a relay sport

When the one who's burned

Turns to pass the torch

Wipe it all away

I used to go to the Ferris wheel every morning

Just to throw my anger out the door

Rack Of His lyrics - Fiona Apple

I gave you pictures and cards on non-holidays

And it wasn't because I was bored

I followed you from room to room with no attention

And it wasn't because I was bored

It was because I was loving you so much

It's the only reason I gave my time to you

And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up

'Cause you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do

Check out that rack of his, look at that row of guitar necks

Lined up like eager fillies, outstretched like legs of Rockettes

They don't know what they are in for and they don't care, but I do

I thought you would wail on me like you wail on them, but it was just a coochie-coo-coups

And meanwhile I'm loving you so much

It's the only reason I gave my time to you

And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up

'Cause you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do

Meanwhile I'm loving you so much

That's the only reason that I gave my time to you

And that's it, that's the kick in you giving up

'Cause you know you don't like it when there's nothing to do

And I've been used so many times

I've learned to use myself in kind

I try to drum, I try to write

I can't do either well but

Oh well, that's fine, I guess

'Cause I know how to spend my time

(I know how to spend my time)

(I know how to spend my time, oh)

(Try to drum, I try to write, oh)

(Meanwhile I'm loving you so much)

Newspaper lyrics - Fiona Apple

I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I didn't get a witness

We're the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you

When I learned what he did, I felt close to you

In my own way, I fell in love with you

But he's made me a ghost to you

I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you

But it's not what I'm supposed to do

I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you

And it makes me feel close to you

It makes me feel close to you

It's not what it's supposed to do

It makes me feel close to you

I too wanted to make him proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I didn't get a witness

We're the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting that, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I did not get a witness

We're the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you

When I learned what he did, I felt close to you

In my own way, I fell in love with you

But he's made me a ghost to you

I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you

But it's not what I'm supposed to do

I watch him walk over you, talk over you, be mean to you

And it makes me feel close to you

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting there, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting there, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

Oh, I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's told you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

Ladies lyrics - Fiona Apple

Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

Ruminations on the looming effect and the parallax view

And the figure and the form and the revolving door that keeps

Turning out more and more good women like you

Yet another woman to whom I won't get through

Ruminations on the looming effect and the parallax view

And the figure and the form and the revolving door that keeps

Turning out more and more good women like you

Yet another woman to whom I won't get through

Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, take it easy

When he leaves me, please be my guest

To whatever I might've left in his kitchen cupboards

In the back of his bathroom cabinets

And oh yes, oh yes, oh yes

There's a dress in the closet

Don't get rid of it, you'd look good in it

I didn't fit in it, it was never mine

It belonged to the ex-wife of another ex of mine

She left it behind with a note, one line, it said

"I don't know if I'm coming across, but I'm really trying"

She was very kind

Fruit bat

Cuter than a button, mutton-head maniac

Fruit bat

Cuter than a button, mutton-head maniac

Nobody can replace anybody else

So it would be a shame to make it a competition

And no love is like any other love

So it would be insane to make a comparison with you

Ruminations on the looming effect and the parallax view

And the figure and the form and the revolving door that keeps

Turning out more and more good women like you

Yet another woman to whom I won't get through

Ooh

Cuter than a button, mutton-head maniac

Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

And no love is like any other love

So it would be insane to make a comparison with you

Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies

Yet another woman to whom I won't get through

Heavy Balloon lyrics - Fiona Apple

People like us, we play with a heavy balloon

We keep it up to keep the devil at bay, but it always falls way too soon

People like us, we play with a heavy balloon

We keep it up to keep the devil at bay, but it always falls way too soon

People like us, we play with a heavy balloon

We keep it up to keep the devil at bay, but it always falls way too soon

I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)

I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)

I've been sucking it in so long

That I'm busting at the seams

I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)

I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)

I've been sucking it in so long

That I'm busting at the seams

In the middle of the day, it's like the sun

But the Saharan one, it's staring me down

Forcing all forms of life inside of me to retreat underground

It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat

It's just got to keep on gnawing at me

And it constricts like a boa on a hose, nothing flows

So the pressure grows instead of the seed

People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes

So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place we can find

You get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row

The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know

But you know what?

I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)

I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)

I've been sucking it in so long

That I'm busting at the seams

I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries)

I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans)

I've been sucking it in so long

That I'm busting at the seams

(I spread like strawberries), I spread like strawberries

I climb like (I climb like peas and beans)

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans (That I'm busting at the seams)

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

Cosmonauts lyrics - Fiona Apple

Your face ignites a fuse to my patience

Whatever you do, it's gonna be wrong

There's no time to interrupt the detonation

Be good to me before you're gone

When I met you, I was fine with my nothing

I grew with you and now I've changed

What I've become is something I can't be without your loving

Be good to me, it isn't a game

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God

How do you suppose that we'll survive?

Come on, that's right, left, right

Make lighter of all the heavier

'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

When you resist me, hon', I cease to exist

Because I only like the way I look when looking through your eyes

And when you come back

You commemorate the penetration of the sun into the deep, dark sky

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God

How do you suppose that we'll survive?

Come on, that's right, left right

Make lighter of all the heavier

'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Start it, start it off, start it off

Start it, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it, start it off, start it off now

Start it, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it, start it off, start it, start it

Start it, start it

You and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Start it, start it off, start it off

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it off now

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it, start it

Start it, start it

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it off now

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start, start, start, start

Now we'll be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

For Her lyrics - Fiona Apple

Look at how feathered his cocks are

See how seamless his frocks are

Look at his paper-beating over that rock star

Look at how long she walks and how far

Was she lost? Or

Maybe she was not for

Traveling in the stock car anymore

Maybe she spent her formative years

Dealing with his contentious fears

And endless jeers at her endless tears

Or maybe she just got tired of watching him

Sniff white off a starlet's breast

Treating his wife like less than a guest

Getting his girl to clean up his mess

Never showing weakness unless it's a ward's season

It's the season of the ward

And she's trying to cut the cord

She's tired of planting her knees on the cold, hard floor of facts

Trying to act like the other girl acts

And your strike may have been exact

But you know that you never really go to the mat

You tie everything all pretty in the second act

When you know that it didn't go exactly like that

You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat

Like you know you should know, but you don't know where it's at

You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat

Like you know you should know, but you don't know where it's at

You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat

Like you know you should know, but you don't know where it's at

Like you know you should know, but you don't know what you did

Like you know, you should know what happened when I came to bed

Like you know you should know, but you don't know

Like you know you should know, but you don't know what you did

Well, good morning

Good morning

You raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in

Good morning

(Like you know you should know, but you don't know

Like you know you should know, but you don't know

Like you know you should know, but you don't know)

You were so high

Drumset lyrics - Fiona Apple

The drum set is gone

And the rug it was on

Is still here screaming at me

Why did you take it all away?

And the dialing of the phone

Is no longer fun

Since you've been done with me

And you don't want to talk with me at all

Why'd you take it all away?

I did nothing wrong

I don't believe it, I don't believe it

I don't believe your reasoning

Now I understand you're a human

And you've got to lie, you're a man

And you've got to get what you want

How you want it but so do I

And I wanted to try

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you take it all away? (You took it all away)

Why did you take it all away? (You took it all away, took it)

Why did you take it all away? (You took it all away)

The drum set is gone

And the rug it was on

Is still here screaming at me (You took it all away, took it)

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you take it all away? (You took it all away, took it)

And the dialing of the phone (You took it all away, took it)

Is no longer fun (You took it all away, took it)

Since you've been done with me

And you don't want to talk with me at all

Why'd you take it all away?

I did nothing wrong

I don't believe it, I don't believe it

I don't believe your reasoning

Now I understand you're a human

And you've got to lie, you're a man

And you've got to get what you want

How you want it, but so do I

And I wanted to try

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

Why did you not want to try?

Why did you take it all away?

And

On I Go lyrics - Fiona Apple

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a-

Ah, fuck, shit

In the long run

If I get there in

In the long run (It could be alright)

It could be alright (If I get there in time)

In the long run

If I get there in (If I get there in time)

It could be alright (If I get there in time)

Be alright (If I get there in time)

In the long run

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

On I go, not toward or away

Up until now it was day, next day

Up until now in a rush to prove

But now I only move to move

After You've Gone lyrics - Fiona Apple

(originally by Marion Harris)

Now won't you listen, honey, while I say

How could you tell me that you're gone away?

Don't say that we must part

Don't break my aching heart

You know I loved you truly many years

I loved you night and day

How could you tell to me, honey

Can't you see my tears?

Now listen while I say

After you've gone

And left me crying

After you've gone

There's no denying

You'll feel blue

You'll feel sad

You'll miss the bestest pal you've ever had

There'll come a time

Now don't forget it

There'll come a time

When you'll regret it

Someday when you grow lonely

Your heart will break like mine

And you'll want me only

After you've gone

After you've gone away

After you've gone

After the break up

After you've gone

You are gonna wake up

And you will find

That you were blind

To let somebody come and change your mind

After the years that we've been together

The joy and all the tears

And all types of weather

Someday, when you're down-hearted

You'll long to be right back where we started

After you've gone

After you've gone away

Oh, baby, think what you're doing

You know my love for you will drive me to ruin

After you've gone

After you've gone away

Container lyrics - Fiona Apple

I was screaming into the canyon

At the moment of my death

The echo I created

Outlasted my last breath

My voice it made an avalanche

And buried a man I never knew

And when he died his widowed bride

Met your daddy and they made you

I have only one thing to do and that's

To be the wave that I am and then

Sink back into the ocean

I have only one thing to do and that's

To be the wave that I am and then

Sink back into the ocean

I have only one thing to do and that's

To be the wave that I am and then

Sink back into the ocean

Sink back into the o

Sink back into the ocean

Sink back into the o

Sink back into the ocean

I Can't Wait To Meet You lyrics - Fiona Apple

"Gabriella, mamy love you

I cannot wait to meet you

I'm so happy to have you in my life"

I can't wait to meet you for the first time

I don't know what I'll do that day

I'll cry and I'll laugh and I'll kiss you

I will have you, you will have me

The world will be different and new

I hope you can do more things than I have

I hope you can follow your dreams

I will have you, you will have me

The world will be different and new

Jolene lyrics - Fiona Apple

(originally by Dolly Parton)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

Love More lyrics - Fiona Apple

(originally by Sharon Van Etten)

Chained

To the wall of our room

Yeah, you chained me like a dog in our room

I thought that's how it was

I thought that we were fine

Then the day was night

You were high

You were high when I was doomed and dying for

With no life, with no light

Tied to my bed

I was younger then

I had nothing to spend but time on you

But it made me love, it made me love, it made me love more

It made me love, it made me love, it made me love more

It made me love

Do what you said, the words she said left out

Over into the sky where I'll soon fly

And she took the time to believe in, to believe in what she said

Love more

She made me love, she made me love, she made me love more

Love more

Love more (She made me love)

Love more (She made me love, she made me love)

Love more

River, Stay Away From My Door lyrics - Fiona Apple

(originally by Jimmie Noone and His Orchestra)

You keep going your way

I'll keep going my way

River, stay away from my door

I just got a cabin

You don't need my cabin

River, stay away from my door

Don't come up any higher

I'm so all alone

Leave my bed and my fire

That's all I own

I ain't breaking your heart

Don't go breaking my heart

River, stay away from my door

Oh lord, ain't I been faithful

And worked damn hard in the sweat and sun

Oh lord, didn't I pray to you

And thanked you for all you've done

Oh lord, you made the river

But won't you try to remember that you made me too

Oh lord, hear me pray to you

And make the river hear my plea

I'll keep breaking your heart

Don't go breaking my heart

River, stay away from my door

Oh river, stay away from my door

River, stay away from my door

So Sleepy lyrics - Fiona Apple (feat. Jon Brion & The Punch Brothers)

I'm so sleepy

But it's not my bedtime

We got bells

The bells, the bells

Keep me awake

I'm a gummy bear

I stand up on a chair

And then I start to dance

To dance, to dance on the groove

I'm a gummy bear

Stand up on the chair

And then I start to dance

To dance, to dance on the groove

But I'm still sleepy

Or am I dreaming?

The bells, the bells keep ringing

But I'm awake

I'm a gummy bear

Stand up on the chair

Then I start to dance

To dance, to dance on the groove

I'm a gummy bear

Stand up on the chair

And then I start to dance

To dance, to dance on the groove

I need to be sleeping

'Cause I'm going to be dodging

In the big game

The bells, the bells keep ringing

So keep it down

Keep it down, keep it down

Keep it down

I'm the gummy bear

I stand up on the chair

And then I start to dance

To dance, to dance on the groove

Keep it down, keep it down

Keep it down

Keep it down, keep it down

Keep it down

Where The Shadows Lie lyrics - Fiona Apple

(from "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" soundtrack)

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie

Where the shadows lie

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie

Where the shadows lie

One Ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Every Single Night lyrics - Fiona Apple

Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white-flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
That's when the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in
Every single night's alight with my brain

What'd I say to her
Why'd I say it to her
What does she think of me
That I'm not what I ought to be
That I'm what I try not to be
It's got to be somebody else's fault
I can't get caught
If what I am is what I am, cause I does what I does
Then brother, get back, cause my breast's gonna bust open
The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk and
I just made a meal for us both to choke on
Every single night's a fight with my brain

I just want to feel everything

So I'm gonna try to be still now
Gonna renounce the mill a little while and
If we had a double-king-sized bed
We could move in it and I'd soon forget
That what I am is what I am cause I does what I does
And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open
My heart's made of parts of all that surround me
And that's why the devil just can't get around me
Every single night's alright, every single night's a fight
And every single fight's alright with my brain

I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything
I just want to feel everything

Daredevil lyrics - Fiona Apple

I guess I just must be a daredevil
I don't feel anything until I smash it up
I'm caught on the cold, caught on the hot
Not so with the warmer lot
And all I want is a confidant
To help me laugh it off

And don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone

Say I'm an airplane
And the gashes I got from my heartbreak
Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing
And I use them to give me lip
Hip hip for the lift
Hip hip for the drag
I want them all in my bag
Oh give me anything and I'll turn it into a gift

But don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone

Seek me out
Look at, look at, look at, look at me
I'm all the fishes in the sea
Wake me up
Give me, give me, give me what you got
In your mind, in the middle of the night

Maybe you let me look out for you
Protect what I found in you
And never let it starve
Then that way, you let me stay
Skirt in my skirt like I want to
And I will try hard to hold onto you with open arms

But don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone

Valentine lyrics - Fiona Apple

You didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin' someone else
I stared at you and cut myself

Its all I'll do 'cause I'm not free
A fugitive too dull to flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace I'm dead I'm done
I watched you live to have my fun

I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you. [x2]

I made it to a dinner date
My tear drops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you

I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you, you, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you.

Jonathan lyrics - Fiona Apple

Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sake
Don't make me explain

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

Jonathan, anything
And anyone that you have done
Has gotta be alright with me
If she's part of
The reason you are how you are
She's alright with me

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

You like to captain
A capsized ship
But I like watching you live [x2]

Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sake
Don't make me explain

Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

Left Alone lyrics - Fiona apple

You made your major overtures
When you were a sure and orotund mutt
And I was still a dewy petal
Rather than a moribund slut
My love wrecked you
You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace
It hurt more than it ought to hurt
I went to work to cultivate a callus

[Hook:]
And now I'm hard, too hard to know
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside a bot-tle

How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone?

Oh, when I try to love
I can love the same man in the same bed in the same city
But not in the same room, it's a pity, but
Oh, it never bothered me before
Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy
And I can't even enjoy him

[Hook]

How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left alone
Alone, alone

My ills are reticulate
My woes are granular
The ants weigh more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable
So, couldn't we skip the valedictories?
I can see a door there:
Shut it and forget my number

[Hook]

How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left alone

Werewolf lyrics - Fiona Apple

I could liken you to a werewolf
The way you left me for dead
But I admit that I provided a full moon

And I could liken you to a shark
The way you bit off my head
But then again I was waving around a bleeding open wound

But you were such a super guy
'Til the second you get away from me
We're like a wishing well
And a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other
All we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

The lava of a volcano
Shot up hot from under the sea
One thing leads to another
And you made an island of me

And I could liken you to a chemical
The way you made me compound to compound
But I'm a chemical too
Inevitable you and me would mix

And I could liken you to a lot of things
But I always come around
Cause in the end I'm a sensible girl
I know the fiction of the fix

But you were such a super guy
'Til the second you get away from me
We're like a wishing well
And a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other
All we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

Periphery lyrics - Fiona Apple

Oh, the periphery
They throw good parties there
Those peripheral idiots
Always have a bite to bare
Bear it if you can
If you really want to

Go to the periphery
Have them celebrate your name
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
Left to run the races lame
But if you want
If you think it's worth it
Go now, with me

Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery
I lost another one there
He found a prettier girl than me
With a more even-tempered air
And if he wants her, he should get her
Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
And maybe they'll move from the periphery
By themselves, or on a plot of land
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
Hoping he makes a good family man
And if he finds himself yearning
For his throne on the silly side
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
Or with his bride, just not with me

Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Stay away
Stay away
Away, away
Stay away, away

Regret lyrics - Fiona Apple

'Member when we argued on the concept of regret?
You were an expert even then but not me, not yet
Now all you gotta do's remind me that we met
And there you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to regret

'Member how I asked you why are you so mean?
You didn't know how to react to bein' seen
I tried to be your friend, you made me shamed so I'm getting even
And there you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to be mean

[Hook x2]
I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth
Every time you address me

Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?
You hated that, didn't you? Didn't you?
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
And there ya got me, that's how you got free, you got rid of me

[Hook x2]

Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Alone

Anything We Want lyrics - Fiona Apple

My cheeks were reflecting the longest wavelength
My fan was folded up and grazing my forehead
And I kept touching my neck
To guide your eye to where I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone.

My scars were reflecting the mist in your headlights
I looked like a neon zebra shaking rain off her stripes
And the rivulets had you riveted to the places that I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone

And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want

We started out sipping the water
And now we try to swallow the wave
And we try not to let those bastards get us down
We don't worry anymore cause we know when the guff comes we get brave
After all, look around
It's happening, it's happening, it's happening now

Let's pretend we're eight years old playing hookey
I'll draw on the wall and you can play UFC rookie
Then we'll grow up
Take our clothes off
And you remind me that I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone

And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want
And then we can do anything we want

Hot Knife lyrics - Fiona Apple

If I'm butter, if I'm butter,
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing the dancing bird of paradise.

If I'm butter, if I'm butter,
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing the dancing bird of paradise.

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

If I'm butter, if I'm butter,
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife,
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing the dancing bird of paradise.

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife,
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter.
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another.

If I'm butter, if I'm butter (I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife (I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen (If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
Showing the dancing bird of paradise (He's never gonna need another, never need another)

If I'm butter, if I'm butter (I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife (I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen (If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
Showing the dancing bird of paradise (He's never gonna need another, never need another)

He excites me
Must be like the genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him.

If I'm butter, if I'm butter (I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife (I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen (If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
Showing the dancing bird of paradise (He's never gonna need another, never need another)

If I'm butter, if I'm butter (I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife (I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen (If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
Showing the dancing bird of paradise (He's never gonna need another, never need another)

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife,
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter.
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another.

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife,
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter.
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another.

He excites me
Must be like the genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him.

[7x]
If I'm butter, if I'm butter (I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife (I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen (If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that)
Showing the dancing bird of paradise (He's never gonna need another, never need another)

Largo lyrics - Fiona Apple

I was recently rid of a man again,
So I caught me a cab to see Flanagan.
I told the cabbie 'To the alley in back'
I told myself coming would keep me intact

Flanny shouts from the second floor
as I crossed the lot to the kitchen door
I see Guillermo and give him some lip
and I cross to the bar, Ellen pours me a nip
and I look to the stage it's the rock of rage, as Jon is on.

and how could I listen without wanting to be with them,
and how could I have thought that I was ever alone?

I feel like singing and drinking and stuff
and I don't wanna care if I stumble or cry
Handle me like family and that'll be enough,
to keep me from dying when I want to die.

When over the rainbow's too far
go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo

When over the rainbow's too far
go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo

I'm hopping scotches with Loretta and Bob,
but, but barely containing my rapturous song
Jon's calling names here like Santas reindeer
on Palmer on Leisz on Sarah on Sean.

I love watching the Watkins when there rocking with Garza
I want to be part of the band though
and when Mr. Tench is on the bench I want to be the piano.

I feel like singing and drinking and stuff
and I don't wanna care if I stumble or cry
Handle me like family and that'll be enough,
to keep me from dying when I want to die.

When over the rainbow's too far
go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo

When over the rainbow's too far
go to Lar-go to Lar-go to Largo

Dull Tool lyrics - Fiona Apple

Come on out, come on out

Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

I don't mean to play here

Figure out, figure out

What you know, what you know

Figure out how to say it clear

'Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool

than a sharper one

You, you stuck around,

You stuck around,

Until you got me

Then, then you dropped me

You, you don't kiss when you kiss

You don't fuck when you fuck

You don't say what you mean

You don’t talk loud enough

No pulse in your impulse, celebration is impossible

You forgot the difference between equanimity and passivity

You forgot you have to try, you have to try, you have to try

You forgot that glorious feeling that you get when you get the truth

So tell that girl you don't love her

And if you do, tell her two times

'Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool

than a sharper one

You, you don't kiss when you kiss

You don't fuck when you fuck

You don't say what you mean

You don’t talk loud enough

No pulse in your impulse, celebration is impossible

And you don't kiss when you kiss

You don't fuck when you fuck

You don't say what you mean

You don’t talk loud enough

No pulse in your impulse, celebration is impossible

You don't kiss when you kiss

You don't fuck when you fuck

You don't say what you mean

You don’t talk loud enough

No pulse in your impulse, celebration is impossible

And you don't kiss when you kiss

You don't fuck when you fuck

You don't say what you mean

You don’t talk loud enough

No pulse in your impulse, celebration is impossible

Celebration is impossible [x3]

Frosty The Snowman lyrics - Fiona Apple

Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow

But the children know

How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day

So he said, "Let's run

And we'll have some fun

Now before I melt away"

Down to the village

With a broomstick in his hand

Running here and there

All around the square

Saying, "Catch me if you can"

He led them down

The streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment

When he heard them holler, "Stop!"

Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying, "Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day"

I Want You lyrics - Fiona Apple

(originally by Elvis Costello)

Oh my baby baby

I love you more than I can tell

I don't think I can live without you

And I know that I never will

Oh my baby baby

I want you so it scares me to death

I can't say anymore than "I love you"

Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you

You've had your fun you don't get well no more

I want you

Your fingernails go dragging down the wall

Be careful darling you might fall

I want you

I woke up and one of us was crying

I want you

You said "Young girl I do believe you're dying"

I want you

If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days

I want you

You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

I want you

Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget

I want you

Since when were you so generous and inarticulate

I want you

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for

It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for

I want you

It's knowing that she knows you now after only guessing

I want you

It's the thought of her undressing you or you undressing

I want you

she tossed some tatty compliment your way

I want you

And you were fool enough to love it when she said

"I want you"

I want you

The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark

It scares you witless

But in time you see things clear and stark

I want you

Go on and hurt me now then we'll let it drop

I want you

I'm afraid I won't know where to stop

I want you

I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you

I want you

I want to know the things you did that we do too

I want you

I want to hear she pleases you more than I do

I want you

I might as well be useless for all it means to you

I want you

Did you call her name out as she held you down

I want you

Oh no my darling not with that clown

I want you, I do

I want you

You've had your fun you don't get well no more

I want you

No one who wants you, could want you more

I want you

Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up

I want you

I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it

I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it

I want you

Extraordinary Machine lyrics - fiona apple

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease

(Chorus)

-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

One man, he disappoint me
He give me the gouge and he take my glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the one man who disappoint me

But wait till I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my
Face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

So I say, and on I go
To another one to disappoint me so

Next one up, a contemptible snob
He live to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low
He can hardly even look me in the face

O, he made my blood just burn
I flipped so far, I thought that I would not return

But the last one I had who was getting my hopes up
I might've been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down, when he didn't disappoint me
He didn't always guess right, but he usually got my gist

So wait till I get him back
I'm gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack
Yeah keep turning that chin
And you will see my face is fixed on the one
I'm gonna get back

I'm gonna get him back
I am
I'm gonna get him back
I really am
