Here are the lyrics to all of Chantal's songs:
God Made Me
I'm jaded and you're beautiful
I'm deluded and envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin
But I'm laughing cause I'm lying
and you believe what I say to be true
(Chorus)
This is the way god made me!
No self-reliance
No social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
You've learned degrees apon your wall
I'm jealous no invitation to the ball(chorus)
No self-esteem
You're picture perfect
You walk around so contented the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
(Chorus)
Surrounded
I was there when you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there when you where young and strong and perveted
and everything that makes a young man a star
oh you were a star
I was there and I swear to god on my mother's grave on everything I had or ever will embrace
(Chorus)
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
Now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle
I was there c'mon tell me I wasn't worth sticking it out for
Well I was there cause if I wasn't worth it I was worth it
cause if I wasn't worth it that makes me worse off than you are
(Chorus)
but don't lose sight of me now
don't lose sight of me now
I was there when they dropped the bomb
Ya know I remeber the bomb
You know I still hear the bomb
You know I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You Know I still hate the bomb sometimes I still get the call
(Chorus)
Don't Be Good
(Chorus)
I don't know when you learn it
but when you learn it you learn fast
They're the ones who love to learn
They're not fast, they're nice guys
They finish last
They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
Don't be good
Don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good
Though you should
That won't work you see
(Chorus)
Believer
I carry my microphone with me everywhere I go
It makes for a very good deadweight in case of an emergency
In case I need to break your face
In case I need you to be dead
(Chorus)
Who do you think you are?
Who do I think you are!
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that god made you and me
with the same hands?
Sit?
I tell my doggie to sit but I am not a dog
But you make me the animal in me want to come out all over you
(Chorus)
And it's hard to believe that I'm still a believer
Grace
Please Don't Go
I cannot really breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
and it makes my lungs sting
Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay a mile behind cause I don't need you crampin my style
You still have grace
You still have mercy to keep kissing my face even though I am wrong
Please don't go
Without you I am weak
Find myself drinking and sinking and seeking
Please Don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
But I'd rather grab for a blanket instead of just walkin into your comfort zone
I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times I hope I haven't scarred you
If you keep kissing my face one day I'll no longer do you wrong
Wayne
I'll be the girl with the long blond hair and the really pale skin if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quite filled with doom
I never ever like the smell in hear
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanetly
But that's okay cause I don't want to see
(Chorus)
Wayne!
Wait for me!
Take me up in your hot air balloon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne!
Prey for me!
Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then wait for me
Who's the strange lady with the big silly hair
And berries on her face, dressed like a pear
Do I really have to hold her hand and pretend she's my mommy, a wife and a man(When I know you're not my mommy)
It's crowded and I feel lost in here
I'm trying find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but I just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me
(Chorus)
You make me feel fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones
(Chorus)
Imaginary Friend
It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what I think
I wonder what I'm thinkin' for
I'm smelling dead flowers and listening to the walls again
I'm drinking from a leaky faucet and writing with this dried up pen
Wish I still had my imaginary friend
And who needs to listen, well....what do I have to sell?
Everyone's waitin' for their own turn
Kind of like show and tell
Someone to listen
Someone to laugh
Someone to cry at the right times
And I would call him up
But I don't remember his name
Hands
There's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help
He sings a pleading song
Well times are tough for everyone
Gotta hold on to what I got
And Just kind of cruise along
Well I do want to be helpful
But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful
(Chorus)
Out of the mouth of a mother
Into the hands of brother
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' tonight
Or who his friends are
Well you don't know where he's from
Or where he's been or who he knows
You can't be too careful these days
Well I do want to be helpful whoa
But it's cold and I'm told he might just be the devil
(Chorus)
Well I don't take chances and I don't take the time to see
And I don't take nothin' from nobody
No way-not me
(Chorus)
Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
Disagree
Tell me what you want from me
Well I'm not saying I'll believe I could solve your mystery
But I would rather disagree
You say the truth will set me free
So how come you're comin' down on me
You think it's real if you can see
Well I don't take that philosophy
Cause You know I would I would I would I would I would rather disagree
Do you see yourself inside of me
And do I take away your miseries
Am I just one more catastrophe
Yah I always say what I don't mean
Don't feed me I'm full!
You know I'll starve before I fall
Don't bleed me, don't bleed me even if you're right even if you're wrong.
Co-Dependent
When I go swimming in your intelect
The water's so shallow and the dialect is so phony but I eat it up like bologna I can't get enough
Well I should end it
But I defend it well i don't recommend it cause I'm your co-dependent
When you go fishing for a compliment
It's soooo obvious but I can't help it so I put up with it
Cause your my habit and I just can't quit
The world keeps spinning the joker keeps grinning lucifer keeps shining
But I need a new beginning baby-be my co-dependent
Green Apples
You're toast and jam and cotton candy
You're double rainbows besie a setting sun
You're wood burnin' outside there's a fire glowing
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You bring me to the heart of a golden man
You bring me to the natural truth
You take me to a solid hollow and keep me sailing this ocean of youth
So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me your all your manly mystery and let me heal your beautiful pain
Be my island in crowds of faces
My oasis
Be There
Lead me to the holy water
Introduce me to the place where you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come
Boot
Never been here before
Never opened this door
But i got a feelin' it's just like the others
Never heard him laugh before
Never felt him feel before
But I got a feelin' he's just like the others
He's got a big boot
He's got a big hand
He's got a big fist to put me down
Here we go again never heard him lie before
Never heard him cry before
But I got a feeling he's just like the others
Never heard him dream
Never felt it before
But I got a feeling it's just like the others
He's got a big boot and he's got a big hand and he's got a big fist to put me down
He's got a big mouth and he's got big words and he's got a big knife to cut me down
Is it all becuase of the fall
But it's not my fault
How long-how long how long do I have to long
Never been here before
Never walked through walked through this door
But I got a feeling it won't be like the others
Even though he's got....
Actions Without Love
He ran a marathon
He didn't quite finish
He didn't cross the finish line
Actions without love
It never really crossed his mind
He sure got the accent down
And he sure can swoon the ladies and ya know one day he'll learn
Actions without Love
The whole bloody language
She pulled out her cheque book
She asked what the date was she had to double check
Actions without love
She had to have an audience
Actions without love
LOVE!
