If you’re no one till someone loves you
Then you’re two people, maybe more
‘Cause it’s not just how much I love you
It’s how much of you I adore
I came into this world without you
I’m going out the way I came in
And in this life if I can not have you
Let the roadrunner chase begin
I walked these streets before I even knew your name
And since you’ve been with me they’ll never look the same
I was born without you
I was born without you
I was born without you
Why can’t I live without you now?
It was the first day I can’t remember
Or the big day that I forgot
Coming into this world of wonder
All I know is it hurt a lot
Now if that’s what it takes to meet you
That’s as much pain as I’ll allow
If I got through the worst without you
Why the hell can’t I do it now?
I walked these streets before I ever knew your name
And since you’ve been with me they’ll never look the same
I was born without you
I was born without you
I was born without you
Why can’t I live without you now?
Then you’re two people, maybe more
‘Cause it’s not just how much I love you
It’s how much of you I adore
I came into this world without you
I’m going out the way I came in
And in this life if I can not have you
Let the roadrunner chase begin
I walked these streets before I even knew your name
And since you’ve been with me they’ll never look the same
I was born without you
I was born without you
I was born without you
Why can’t I live without you now?
It was the first day I can’t remember
Or the big day that I forgot
Coming into this world of wonder
All I know is it hurt a lot
Now if that’s what it takes to meet you
That’s as much pain as I’ll allow
If I got through the worst without you
Why the hell can’t I do it now?
I walked these streets before I ever knew your name
And since you’ve been with me they’ll never look the same
I was born without you
I was born without you
I was born without you
Why can’t I live without you now?

Well, it certainly reminds me of "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell - from the James Bond movie Casino Royale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxAm8Y1w6BI |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Nov 23, 2010 - 07:39 Is this song picking up the tricky hip sexy baton from the late Kirsty MacColl? Well done, nice arrangement. |

| kyleminor (San Francisco) | Posted: Apr 18, 2008 - 17:25 Woah. I had to check quickly to see if there was some new Jonatha Brooke album I hadn't heard about yet... Ms. Bonham sounds a LOT like her. Thanks, RP! |

I did see her open for The Blue Man Group a few years ago. She DOES put on a good show. I just don't vibe with her music. I saw her open for Blue Man also, and I thought she rocked the place pretty hard. The venue was really too big for her (and Blue Man), but she gutted it out with a lot of energy. c. |

Sorry, I just I hate "repeaters"-by anyone. Not that I'm any lyricist at all. But when a song says something over and over and over... it shows complete lack of originality. All I can think is, there's 4 or so minutes of my life I'll never get back. Little wing! imagine finding you here! Well, not only are your arguing skills deficent elsewhere, but your ideas about music show that, like politics, you know shit about music. Try Fleetwood Mac: A lot of their success comes from keeping it simple. A simple idea endlessly repeated to haunting sound......................ah, music. It is the clever shit put to music that often is too clever and ends up as, well.......shit. Look at Moby: keep it simple; repeat endlessly. Music. |
| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Sep 25, 2006 - 21:21 Pretty good, but I even better like the fact that it makes me think of Ozzy growling, "I was born withoutcha baby, but my feelings were a little bit too strong...Just a little bit too strong," in that Black Sab classic, "The Warning." Dig it out and dig it, y'all! |
