"Notebook" lyrics
"Notebook"
I showed him my notebook
The underside of my soul
Released in scribbles on pages
He smiled and held my hand
I knew that he would see
For he dreams of touching beauty too
There has to be more than the workday
He's painting houses
He's painting houses for a while
I'm home to his canvas
Coming to life
I write in my notebook
With feeling that takes me by surprise
And thoughts that I don't know I have
They're hidden by useless facts
That I've compiled at the office where I work
Where there is no time for feeling anything
You see, I just work there to finance my real life
That begins with scribbles on pages
And thoughts of how and when
Museums on Sundays
Whenever we, can we both go
And stay there for hours
Feeding our spirits
And beauty is still free
And beauty is not exclusive
And beauty is ours to touch and to know
To touch and know
Don't you think there's more, I really have to know?
Don't you think there's more to life?
Don't you think there's more, I really have to know?
Don't you think there's more to life?
Don't you think there's more to life?
Don't you think there's more to life?
Don't you think there's more to life?
And don't you think there's more to life?
Don't you think there's more to life?

Martha Wainwright - "Far Away" Far away
In some lovely way I hear your call

Whatever happened to us all?
I know that we've never met before

Belle & Sebastian - "Nice Day For A Sulk" Nice day for a sulk
The girl smells of milk
Her horsey teeth explode around us
And we run for cover she found us
In the cheapo bar with a bag of chips
Nice day for a mood
The forecast is good...
Emmylou Harris - "Where Will I Be" The streets are cracked
And there's glass everywhere
And a baby stares out
With motherless eyes
Under long gone beauty
On fields of war
Trapped in lament
To the poet's core
Oh where oh where will I...
Sun Kil Moon - "Space Travel Is Boring" Won herself a pass to some far off moon
It was second class but what's to lose
And looking out her window she could more than assume
