Send “Ballad of a Politician” Ringtone to Cell

A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our carefully laid plans

Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You’re gonna make us scream someday
You’re gonna make it big

You love so deep, so tender
Your people and your land
You love ’em ’till they can’t recall
Who they are again

Work it, work it baby
Work your way ’round that room
You’re gonna make it big some day
You’re gonna make a boom

But I am
But I am
But I am not a number, not a name

But I am
But I am
But I am a carefully laid plan

Shake what your mama gave you
You know that it won’t last
You’re gonna taste the ground real soon
You’re gonna taste the grass

A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our world under command

Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You’re gonna make us scream someday
You’re gonna make us weak

You’re gonna make us scream someday
You’re gonna make it big

Regina Spektor – How (Studio Version – What We Saw From The Cheap Seats): “WOW!”

 

Songwriters: SPEKTOR, REGINA

How can I forget your love 
How can I never see you again? 
There is a time and place 
For one more sweet embrace 
And there’s a time ooh 
Where it all ohh 
Went wrong 
I guess you know by now 
That we will meet again somehow 

How oh oh 
Oh baby how 
Can I begin again 
How can I try to love someone knew 
Someone who isn’t you 
How can our love be true 
When I’m not ooh I’m not ooh over you 
I guess you know by now 
That we will meet again somehow 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/regina+spektor/how_21012050.html ] 
Time can come and take away the pain 
But I just want my memories to remain 
To hear your voice to see your face 
There’s not one moment I’d erase 
You are a guest here now 

So baby how can I forget your love 
How can I never see you again 
How can I never know 
Why some stay otehrs go 
When I don’t ohhh I don’t want you oooh to go 
I guess I know by now that we will meet again somehow 

Time can come and wash away the pain 
But I just want my mind to stay the same 
To hear your voice 
To see your face 
There’s not one moment I’d erase 
You are a guest here now 

So baby how can I forget your love 
How can I never see you again?

Regina Spektor’s new album, “What We Saw from the Cheap Seats” – May 29, 2012 Firewood Track No.4

Regina Spektor – What we saw from the cheap seats  (Album)

Firewood lyrics

The piano is not firewood yet
They try to remember but still they forget
That the heart beats in threes
Just like a waltz
And nothing can stop you from dancing

Rise from your cold hospital bed
You’re not dying
Everyone knows you’re going to live
So you might as well start trying

The piano is not firewood yet
But the cold does get cold
So it soon might be that
I’ll take it apart, call up my friends
And we’ll warm up our hands by the fire

Don’t look so shocked
Don’t judge so harsh
You don’t know
You are only spying
Everyone knows it’s going to hurt
But at least we’ll get hurt trying

The piano is not firewood yet
But a heart can’t be helped
And it gathers regret
Someday you’ll wake up and feel a great pain
And you’ll miss every toy you ever owned

You’ll want to go back
You’ll wish you were small
Nothing can slow the crying
You’ll take the clock off of your wall
And you’ll wish it was lying

Love what you have and you’ll have more love
You’re not dying
Everyone knows you’re going to love
Though there’s still no cure for crying     (from Here)
