Norah Jones: Happy Pills

Norah Jones: Happy Pills

Trying to pick up the pace
Trying to make it so I never see your face again
Time to throw this away
Wanna make sure that you never waste my time again

How does it feel
Oh, how does it feel to be you right now, dear?
You broke this apart
So pick up your piece and go away from here

Please just let me go now
Please just let me go
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go

Out, I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out

Never said we'd be friends
Trying to keep myself away from you
Cause you're bad, bad news
With you gone, I'm alive
Makes me feel like I took happy pills
And time stands still

How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel to be the one shut out
You broke all the rules
I won't be a fool for you no more, my dear

Please just let me go now
Please just let me go
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go ...

Out, I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out

Norah Jones: Killing Time

Bet you’re gonna cry when I’m gone
Bet you’re gonna cry when I’m gone
What a time to be wrong
What a time to be wrong

I know I’m gonna be missed
Yeah I know I’m gonna be missed
What a way to be tricked
What a waste of a trip

Never thought the day would have come,
when I couldn’t get up and run
See you’ve given me gold,
and it weighed down my soul

But can I see if tomorrow will
turn back to yesterday?
Or have I gone too far
to turn it back all the way?

How can it take so long?
I know that I’m killing time all alone
but it’s dying too slow

Why did I take so long?
I know that I’m just killing time all alone
but it’s dying too slow

Bet you’re gonna cry when I’m gone
Bet you’re gonna cry when I’m gone
What a time to be wrong
What a time to be wrong

Norah Jones og sammentræf

Norah Jones: Broken

He's got a broken voice and a twisted smile
Guess he's been that way now for quite awhile
He's got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim
Did he do it to himself or was it done to him?

Now people say that he don't look well
But all he needs from what I can tell
Is someone to help wash away all the paint
From his purple hands before it gets too late

I saw him stand alone under a broken street light
So sincere singing Silent Night
But the trees they were full and the grass was green
It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen

He may move slow
That don't mean he's going nowhere
He may be moving slow
That don't mean he's going nowhere

If you want me baby
you just got to let me know - let me know
If you want me baby
you just got to let me know - let me know

Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side
Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side

If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show
If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show

Why don't you lower your defense
there's no more room for walls or fences
Why don't you lower your defense
there's no more room for walls or fences

If you want me baby
you just got to let me know - let me know
If you want me baby
you just got to let me know - let me know

Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side
Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side

If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show
If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show

Why don't you lower your defense
theres no more room for walls or fences
Why don't you lower your defense
theres no more room for walls or fences

The first time that I saw you
I felt something inside I couldn't hide
The first time that I saw you
I felt something inside I couldn't hide
The first time that I saw you
I felt something inside I couldn't hide

Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side
Don't go chasing after butterflies
when everything you want is right here by your side

If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show
If you need me baby
you just got to let it show - let it show

Love is like a butterfly

It will come and sit on your shoulder

Cathy Dennis: Loving you is Suicide

Norah Jones: Miriam

Miriam
That's such a pretty name
I'm gonna say it when
I make you cry

Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye

Now I'm not the jelous type
Never been the killing kind
But you know I know what you did
So don't put up a fight

Miriam
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice?

Miriam
Was it game a to you?
Was it a game to him?
Don't tell me lies

I know he said it's not your fault
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him from ear to ear
Now I've saved the best for you

And I'm trying not to hurt you
'Cause you might not be that bad
But it takes a lot to make me go this mad

Oh Miriam
That's such a pretty name
And I'll keep saying it
Until you die

Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when you say goodbye

You know you done me wrong,
I'm gonna smile when I take your life

Mmm, Mmm....

“People react very strangely to that song. I’ve have girlfriends high-five me, and start laughing. I’d had guys turn white and say, ‘I don’t know that you should put that on the album.’ I’ve had people say, ‘That is my favorite song’ and I’ve had people say, ‘That song really scares me.’ I guess it is creepy.

Norah Jones: Rosie's Lullaby

She walked by the ocean,
And waited for a star,
To carry her away.

Feelin' so small,
At the bottom of the world,
Lookin' up to God.

She tries to take deep breaths,
To smell the salty sea,
As it moves over her feet.

The water pulls so strong,
And no-one is around,
And the moon is looking down.

Sayin',
Rosie - come with me,
Close your eyes - and dream.

The big ships are rollin',
And lightin' up the night,
And she calls out, but they just her pass by.

The waves are crashin',
But not making a sound,
Just mouthing along.

Lullaby by Rosie Hardy

Sayin',
Rosie - come with me,
Close your eyes and dream,
Close your eyes and dream,
Close your eyes and dream.

Norah Jones og sammentræf

Min kæreste havde den musikalitet som jeg ikke har. Havde tidligere optrådt med en af de gode jazz-musikere. Mens hun havde det godt, handlede det meget om sang og musik, og at hun havde fundet nogle gode lærere. Hun var rigtig glad for Norah Jones, og øvede sig i at spille og synge nogle af numrene fra CDen "Come Away With Me".

Da jeg fredag morgen ringede efter en taxa for at komme i retten, var der lidt ventetid, og musikken var "Come Away With Me". Så jeg måtte lige sunde mig lidt da der blev svaret. Da taxaen kom, og jeg havde fortalt hvor jeg skulle hen, viste det sig at det var samme taxa-chauffør som kørte for 3½ år siden, hvor Ingelise blev indlagt. Han huskede os, og havde tænk på hvad der var galt. Så snakken blev lidt mere personlig, end jeg havde regnet med. Og han glemte helt at køre mit dankort igennem mens der stadig var radiodækning.

Et sammentræf mere, er at jeg længe før sagen blev berammet til den 3. august havde bestilt billet til en koncert med Norah Jones i Falconer Salen i aften. Jeg kan godt lide hendes musik og sang. Men det kan jo ikke undgås at det også bliver til at jeg mindes hvor gerne at Ingelise ville have været med til sådan en koncert.
