Lyrics - Dear Frustrated Superstar - Nerina Pallot
Dear frustrated superstar
Your mother's waiting in the car
To whisk you off to your new premiere
And all the friends who knew your name
Are waiting, wondering what became
Of the girl that they once knew but never loved
They never loved
So every city tells the lie
Of tramps, beggars, butterflies
Of all these things, then what am I?
A princess in a threadbare gown,
A gaudy, painted circus clown?
A child who lost her key and can't get home?
All the things I never was -
A traitor of the Western Wars
A girl who did it just because
Do or die, or don't at all
Prepare to suffer for your call
Some things have to hurt or they're not true
They can't be true
When you die, you'll wonder, was that it?
Will you think of how you wished you'd lived?
Well, you're here now
Yeah you're here now
So I only want to be up there
With a hundred others, I don't care
'Cause I'm here now
Yeah I'm here now
Papers, books, philosophy
And envelops eternity
I count each passing minute, hour, day.....
Wonder how I smile so well,
I wonder how they never tell
There's really no one living here at all
So here a line from God's own song
To comfort you when things go wrong
My children never visit me
Go searching in my sky at night
It must be there to set alight
Their mothers aching heart is so unsure
I'm so unsure....
When you die, you'll wonder, was that it?
Will you think of how you wished you'd lived?
Well, you're here now
Yeah you're here now
So I only want to be up there
With a hundred others, I don't care
'Cause I'm here now
Yeah I'm here now again, again
Again
Dear frustrated superstar,
I really hope you get that far
If not, I hope you live
I hope you live
Lyrics - Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like Heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darlin' you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best...
Lyrics - Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard with Marketa Irglova - Once OST
I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount to more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well you have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing along
