We're bound to wait all night She's bound to run amok. Invested enough in it anyhow To each his own
The Garden needs sorting out. She curls her lips on the bow, And I don't know if I'm dead or not, To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum, Before you open up your eyes. This army has so many heads, To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose Collect it at the borderline, And they want to get up in your head...
Cause they know and so do I. The high road is hard to find. A detour in your new life. Tell all of your friends goodbye.
The dawn to end all nights, That's all we hoped it was. A break from the warfare in your house, To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out. He curled his lips on the barrel. And I don't know if the dead can talk, To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum. Before you open up your eyes. This army has so many hands, Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose. Collect it at the borderline, And they want to get up in your head...
Cause they know and so do I. The high road is hard to find. A detour in your new life. Tell all of your friends goodbye.
It's too late to change your mind, You let loss be your guide.
It's too late to change your mind, You let loss be your guide.
It's too late to change your mind, You let loss be your guide.
It's too late to change your mind, You let loss be your guide.

You Had Me
by Joss Stone, Francis White, Wendy Stoker and Betty Wright
You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
Spitting in my eyes and I still see
Tried to keep me down
I'm breaking free
I don't want no part in your next fix
Someone needs to tell you this is it
Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on all my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine
[Chorus]
You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
that my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life
You tried to trade on my naivete
But the things you do and say embarrass me
See once upon a time I was your fool
But the one I leave behind is you
Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on all my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine
[Chorus]
Vodka and a packet of cigarettes
That's all it used to be but now
You're sniffing on snow when you're feeling low
Suffocating dreams that could have been
Maybe for a minute I was down with that
But it didn't take long for me to see the light
You swore you had control of it
But when I stepped back you slipped on your supply
[Chorus]
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
[Chorus]
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Joss Stone performing Dusty Springfield's 'Son of a Preacher Man'

SON OF A PREACHER
By Ronnie Wilkins and John Hurley
Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along, When they gathered round and started talking, That's when Billy would take me walking, Through the back yard we'd go walking, Then he'd look into my eyes, Lord knows to my suprise:
The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
Being good isn't always easy, No matter how hard I tried, When he started sweet talking to me, he'd come tell me everything is alright, he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright, Can I get away again tonight?.
The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
How well I remember, The look that was in his eyes, Stealing kisses from me on the sly, Taking time to make time, Telling me that he's all mine, Learning from each others knowing, Looking to see how much we'd grown.
The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
Grabada en 1966 por James Brown, Joss la interpretó en 2003 durante un homenaje a su creador, en el marco del Kennedy Center Honors, un evento que tributa anualmente a los grandes contribuyentes a la cultura norteamericana. Esa versión en vivo fue lanzada como bonus track de un DVD francés edición limitada. También la cantó en 2005, esta vez con el mismo James Brown, en el programa de televisión inglesa Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, en una de las últimas apariciones televisivas del padre del funk, fallecido en 2006.
This is a man's world This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Nothing without a woman or a girl, ooh
You see, man made the car to take us over the road and Man made the train to carry the heavy load Man made electric light to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water Like, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's world, ooh But it would mean nothing Nothing without, without a woman or a girl Without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about the little bitty baby girls And the baby boys see Man makes then happy Cause man made them toys And after man make everything Everything he can You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's, a man's world ooh But it wouldn't be nothing Not one little thing no Without a woman or a girl Without a woman or a girl
Man needs a woman He's got to have a woman Man, he needs a woman He's got to have a woman
Man makes everything he can But you see, a woman makes a better man A woman makes a better man
This is a man's, a man's world ooh But it would mean nothing Not one little thing no Without a woman or a girl, no Without a woman or a girl, no It would mean nothing
