"Issues"

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous
When I'm down, I get real down
When I'm high, I don't come down
I get angry, baby, believe me
I could love you just like that
And I could leave you just as fast

But you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you

You do **** on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect
Poorly wired circuit

And got hands like an ocean
Push you out, pull you back in

'Cause you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause you see it from the same point of view

'Cause I got issues
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you

(I got issues, you got 'em too)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)

'Cause I got issues
(I got)
But you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
(You got 'em too)
And I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory
(I got issues)
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
(You got 'em too)
It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)
And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you
 
PRACTICALLY PERFECT - from Mary Poppins
MARY POPPINS
By the time the wind has blown the weather vane around
I'll show you if I can
No matter what the circumstance for one thing I'm renowned
My character is spit spot, and span
I'm practically perfect in every way

JANE
Practically Perfect?

MARY POPPINS
So people say
Each virtue virtually knows no bound each trait is great and patiently sound
I'm practically perfect from head to toe
If I had a fault it would never dare to show
I'm so practically perfect in every way

Both prim and proper and never to stern
Well-educated yet willing to learn
I'm clean and honest my manner refined
and i wear shoes of the sensible kind
I suffer no nonsense and whilst I remain
there's nothing else i feel i need to explain

I'm practically perfect in every way
Practically perfect that's my forte
uncanny nannies are hard to find
Unique yet meek unspeakably kind
I'm practically perfect not slightly soiled
running like an engine thats just been freshly oiled
I'm so practically perfect in every way

MICHAEL
Not Tempermental?

Not Grouchy or Gruff?

JANE
Will you stay tender when the going gets tough

MICHAEL
Do you read stories without a big fuss?

JANE
Or have objections to playing with us?

MARY POPPINS
(spoken) Oh I like games but I choose them

(Sung)
Some minor improvements may not go a miss
but at all times remember this

JANE AND MICHAEL
Your'e practically perfect in every way

MARY POPPINS
I guarantee

JANE AND MICHAEL
Practically perfect we hope you stay

MARY POPPINS
No Flies on me
Each virtue vurtually knows no bound
Each trait is great and patiently sound

JANE AND MICHAEL
Patiently sound

MARY POPPINS
I'm practically perfect and here's my aim
By the time I leave here you both will be the same
You'll be practically perfect

JANE AND MICHAEL
Practically perfect

ALL
You/we will be practically perfect in every way

"Perfect"
Hedley

Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise.
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes.
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish then to start all over and never let it lie.

And as long as I can feel you holding on. I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong.

I'm not perfect but I keep trying cause that's what I said I would do from the start.
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?

When you're caught in a lie, and you've got nothing to hide,
When you've got nowhere to run, and you've got nothing inside.
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me, you thought that you knew..

Just myself? Myself? Just myself?
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying.
 




Oh, boy - I get to mention one of my FAVORITE songs:

The Perfect Moment by the Christians - it has not only great lyrics but also contains some perfectly orchestrated classical music touches.


Tired of being a yes man
A fool to kick around
Tired of the rejection
I've got to get my feet up on the ground
where there’s a good line to be found

And now it’s
time to learn the changes
see what’s going wrong
Totally it’s so clear
and the world is going to turn before too long
Maybe now at last I’m feeling strong


And I’m waiting for the perfect moment
Hoping for an end to my wasted days
Here come the perfect moment
Suddenly the world don’t look so grey

I've got to face the music
settle up the score
Change in my direction
no, I just can’t walk this way alone no more
Now there’s a clear path to your door

(Note: if you listen closely to the the next four lines, you'll hear them backed by a brief but very well written :goodvibes Baroque style string section counterpoint melody. A really nice little touch that's a rare, lost art in the pop world).
As you know too much about me
too much to let you go
So stay a while longer
and tell me things I really want to know
Can I find a place where love can grow

And I’m waiting for the perfect moment
Hoping for an end to my wasted days
Here come the perfect moment
Suddenly the world don’t look so grey

I hope I’ll find a way
a way to convince you
That we’ve got a chance
to make a new start
And I’ve been searchin’ hard
Don’t make no sense to
Stay apart
You’re here in my heart


Here it comes the perfect moment
Perfect moment
Here it comes the perfect moment
Perfect moment
Here it comes the perfect moment

PERFECT ISN'T EASY - Oliver & Company
Girl, we've got work to do.
Pass me the paint and glue
Perfect isn't easy. ..
But. .. It's. .. Me

When one knows the world is watching,
One does what one must
Some minor adjustments, darling --
Not for my vanity,
But for humanity.

Each little step a pose
See how the breeding shows (grunt)
Sometimes it's too much for even me!
When all of the world says yes,
Then who am I to say no?
Don't ask a mutt to strut like a showgirl,
No, girl, you need a pro!

Not a flea or a flaw
Take a peek at that paw
La dada dee dee da
Perfection becomes me, n'est ce pas?

Unrivaled! Unruffled!
I'm beauty unleashed! (yeah)
Jaws drop, hearts stop
So classic and classy
We're not talkin' Lassie!

Laaaaa, aaaah, oooo, arooo
Ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff arrroowl

Though many covet my bone and bowl,
They're barkin' up the wrong tree
You pretty pups all over the city,
I have your hearts and you have my pity
Pretty is nice, but still, it's just pretty
Perfect, my dear,
Is me. ..
 
Where Did Our Love Go - The Supremes

Baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself

I've got this burning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad

You came into my heart
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee

Now that I surrender
So helplessly
You now wanna leave
Ooh, you wanna leave me

Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no more
Ooh, baby

Baby, baby
Where did our love go?
And all your promises
Of a love forever more

I've got this burning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad

Before you won my heart
You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind
(Baby, baby) ooh baby

Baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself

Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
 
I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
(Coca Cola commercial, aka I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke)

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land
(That's the song I hear)
