Not every song that
will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”
in the eyes of this world. For some will
be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously
fervent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless,
be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another)
and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.
Right To Be Wrong
Joss Stone
I've got a right to
be wrong
My mistakes will
make me strong
I'm stepping out
into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings
though I've never flown
I've got a mind of
my own
I'm flesh and blood
to the bone
See I'm not made of
stone
Got a right to be
wrong
So just leave me
alone
I've got a right to
be wrong
I've been held down
too long
I've got to break
free
So I can finally
breathe
I've got a right to
be wrong
Got to sing my own
song
I might be singing
out of key
But it sure feels
good to me
Got a right to be
wrong
So just leave me
alone
I've got a right to
be wrong
See my mistakes
will make me strong
I'm stepping out
into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings
though I've never flown
I've got a mind of
my own
Flesh and blood to
the bone
See I'm not made of
stone
I've got a right to
be wrong
So just leave me
alone
I've got a right to
be wrong
I've been held down
too long
I've got to break
free
So I can finally
breathe
I've got a right to
be wrong
I got to sing my
own song
I might be singing
out of key
But it sure feels
good to me
I've got a right to
be wrong
To be wrong
So just leave me
alone
Just leave me alone
I’ve got a right to
be wrong
I’ve got a right to
be wrong
The High Road
Joss Stone
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
around 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
Collected at the
borderline
And they want to
get up in your head
In your head
In your head
'Cause they know
and so do I
So do I
The high road is
hard to find
Is hard to find
A detour in your
new life
Tell all of your
friends goodbye
Tell all of your
friends goodbye
Tell 'em goodbye
Tell 'em goodbye
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Tell ‘em bye
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
Too late baby
To go and change
your mind right now
It’s too late to
change your mind
Too late to change
your mind
It’s too late to
change your mind
It’s too late to
change your mind

Amazing how some of these artists perform, and yet you wonder the depths of their feelings, experienced or not? The last song reminds me of one of my old favorites from Carol King. Do you remember her?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it Britain produces more (and better) soul/blues singer than the US, where the style originated? I'm familiar with her work but not in the mood this morning to sit through two downbeat songs...
ReplyDeleteinteresting lyrics to the first one
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Karen!!! "And it's too late baby, now it's too late. Though we really did try to make it." Oh yeah, who could forget a Carole King song after they have heard her sing it?
ReplyDeleteI would hope that Joss wasn't singing that last song from her own personal experience. For it is about struggling with drug abuse, which does seem to plague blues artists to a very great extent. I don't know if this may be on account of how depressing their songs often are, but it makes sense (naturally-speaking, of course).
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! It may have something to do with British society still being so rigidly repressed in comparison to our own. For what doesn't raise many eyebrows over here causes quite stir back there. I know that this is one of the main reasons for why British comedy is generally either very dry or totally off-the-wall, with little landing in-between.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Yes, it can certainly serve as an anthem for the rebellious sort, which I believe was sung from her heart.
