What I have is nothing to my name
No property to speak of
And no trophy for my game
Intangible and worthless
My assets on the page
My coffers are empty
Any offer of safety has faded away
But what I have
What I have is
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God, I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
'Cause what I have (what I have)
Means so very little to this world
A promise that I kept and a bridge that I saved before it burned
The sacrifice that I made
Brought me to my knees
A choice that cost me everything and set somebody else free
But what I have
Is the value that you see in these things
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
'Cause what I have
Is the value that you see in these things
And everytime I forget those things you bring them right back to me
With your patience
When I'm blinding mad
And your passion
When I'm really, really bad
And your eyes
Taking in everything I am
And your body and soul and the way that you know
How I treasure you
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God I'm so lucky
So much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
| Cornelia (Arlington VA) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 12:04 Love Poe's voice! I don't think this is boring... but then again, I'm at work. I appreciate the mellow-ness |
| modest_mouse (Nuremberg, Germany) | Posted: Jun 04, 2012 - 06:24 Extraordinary boring... |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:37 Cool 2 a.m. club song. 'bout it. A 5? But kind of a nice love tune. |
| DeeCee1109 (People's Republic of A2) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:36 A wee bit of Aimee Mann methinks. I like this. |
| jpfueler (Burleson Texas, (South o' Ft Worth)) | Posted: Dec 28, 2011 - 16:38 Eating lunch at work and reading an e-book and the little voices in my head start saying "What Poe song is this?" Oh. It's a Conjure tune.... |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Oct 26, 2011 - 08:25 Started at 3 because it's boring, lame, and pointless. Ended up as a 1 because of the nausea. . . |
| sronis | Posted: Aug 24, 2011 - 07:17 started as 8 cuz of the cool riffs, midway got it down to 7 cuz it's too simple and unimaginative, towards the end her voice started to annoy me when she does all those trills completely off key, so final score is 6. |
| derekd (Mudball called Earth) | Posted: Dec 15, 2010 - 14:04 POE startied gigging again in LA this year. Do a search online and you can sign up on her mailing list. Supposedly, she has some new stuff coming out soon. |
| Cruzan (AUSTIN, TX) | Posted: Sep 11, 2010 - 08:59 Conjure one has kind of a "formula" to their songs. But it is a damn good formula! :-) Love it! |
| leathepea (Hickory, NC) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 08:21 Is Poe a full time member of Conjure One? Everytime I here them she is singing. |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 08:21 Poe is just so hot. Just can't get enough.  |
| ChicoCyclist (Chico, CA) | Posted: Jul 09, 2010 - 11:40 Have to agree - Poe's voice is fantastic. She took an ordinary song and moved it closer to extraordinary. |

| namp | Posted: May 06, 2010 - 21:47 and suddenly it's the 80's all over again...  |
| Sirena815 (The Third World) | Posted: May 06, 2010 - 21:46 Conjure One - Extraordinary Ways Pacha Massive - Pachangueando Erin McKeown - Blackbirds Fleetwood Mac - Black Magic Woman Kick-ass playlist right there. That was an awesome progression. Thanks! This extraordinary ways song is pretty good. I'd never heard of them before. It's going on my list. |

| wingfinger (Tacoma WA) | Posted: Mar 04, 2010 - 14:09 Love her voice. The groove on this tune reminds me of the song "905" by The Who off Who Are You. |
| Mandible | Posted: Sep 28, 2009 - 07:25 POE |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Sep 28, 2009 - 07:23 Nice! |
| AdyMiles (Wolverhampton, UK) | Posted: Sep 28, 2009 - 07:22 this grows on me. clever song. nice song |

I like it. Maybe they're on to something. Hopefully people will learn from this song. The lyrics are good, and it seems to be the current musical theme. |

| Droidac (4066 kms east of Paradise) | Posted: Jul 27, 2009 - 05:39 Anything with Poe is awesome in my eyes (and my ears). There's a fantastic remix of this song by Antillas that picks up the pace of the song, while adding some real intensity to it. Also adds about 3 minutes to it, which is an extra bonus. |

She's such a hottie What a voice, I mean ;^) So it's Poe singing? I thought the voice was familiar. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |
| Jazbo (Beautiful Valparaiso IN.) | Posted: Jun 25, 2009 - 11:05 Reminds me of Basia. Anyone know what happened to her? |

| derekd (Just Visiting This Planet) | Posted: Jun 25, 2009 - 11:03 Gotta be POE singing on this track. No a huge fan of this—but her solo material is amaaazing, |
