Regina Spektor - One More Time With Feeling (8/15/08) Regina Spektor singing One More Time With Feeling @ McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn, NY on August 15th, 2008. Lots of noise in this recording, unfortunately, because this is such a great song... but I figure some people will still want to hear it. All the commotion started when some people starting putting up their umbrellas and then some other people started yelling at them because they could no longer see in front of them. . -- Your stitches are all out, but your scars are healing wrong And the helium balloon inside your room has come undone And it's pushing up at the ceiling and the flickering lights it cannot get beyond Oh, everyone takes turns, now it's yours to play the part And they're sitting all around you holding copies of your chart And the misery inside their eyes is synchronized reflecting into yours Hold on One more time with feeling Try it again Breathing's just a rhythm Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right This is why we fight You thought by now you'd be so much better than you are You thought by now they'd see that you had come so far And the pride inside their eyes would synchronize into a love you'll never know So much more than you can show Hold on One more time with feeling Try it again Breathing's just a rhythm Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right This is why we fight This is why we fight Tags: regina spektor one more time feeling mccarren park pool brooklyn ny williamsburg |

The recording quality is a little iffy but I've yet to find another version of this song. -- Dog and pony Empty file Cabinet You never forget You never come back the same Each time you go up in flames Each time you begin to blame You never come back quite the same Just a little bit more love Oh, a little bit more love Just a little bit more love For me Just a little bit more love Oh, a little bit more love But it's alright Don't cry My sweet You were born Unto me I'm torn Unto me I'm worn Unto me Unworn So I danced my dance And I kissed your hands And I took a chance And we fell into a trance Just a little bit more love Oh, a little bit more love Just a little bit more love For me Just a little bit more love Oh, a little bit more love But it's alright Don't cry It's alright Don't cry It's alright Don't cry My sweet Say one, two, three One, two, three One, two, three You sitting on the rooftop Me begging here on my knees I stayed in love with you You're just falling in love with me And darling, you know that ain't right So if love never lasts forever ever, ever Little brother Little lover Twist these strings of fate There is no clean slate So I'm carting away All of myself In this metal crate And my dog and my pony And my empty file cabinet You never forget You never come back quite the same Each time you go up in flames Each time you begin to blame You never come back quite the same Just a little bit of true love Oh, a little bit of true love Just a little bit of true love For me Just a little bit more love Oh, a little bit more love But it's alright Don't cry It's alright Don't cry It's alright Don't cry My sweet Tags: regina spektor dog and pony tonic |

Regina Spektor - Paris (Unreleased) Regina's "Paris", another unreleased song demo. -- I could've settled down in Paris But the man who came for me Took me by the hand And said it was time to leave Margaret atwood, she could not stop him Virginia woolf, she could not stop him The truth is I wanted to go He is all I know, he is all I know... I got back home from Paris And he told me what I'd done was wrong And though his speech was rather long I listened like an obedient child The light was coming in through the windows It was a most familiar type of night How I loved every streetlight And I wanted him to kiss me Margaret atwood, she could not stop me Virginia woolf, she could not stop me The truth is I wanted to go He is all I know, he is all I know... Sweet, sweet forever I'll comfort myself in my next life... He told me that he couldn't live without me And I told him the same thing too And though we knew it wasn't true We both knew it wasn't a lie The light was coming in through the window It was a most familiar type of night How I loved every streetlight And I wanted him to kiss me Margaret atwood, she could not stop me Virginia woolf, she could not stop me The truth is I wanted to go He is all I know, he is all I know... Sweet, sweet forever I'll comfort myself in my next life... (more) Tags: regina spektor paris |

Regina Spektor - The Bronx (05-11-2003) "The Bronx" by Regina Spektor. The recording quality is a bit low but this is the only recorded version that's out there, AFAIK. I like how she seems to use the piano to simulate the buzzing of the intercom bell to the person's apartment. -- Come downstairs, I'm buzzing you Come downstairs, I got nothing to do Come downstairs now Come downstairs now Come downstairs now You know, there's a legend And it goes like this: If you kiss the lamppost between 224th street and 225th In the Bronx When it's a full moon You'll be granted three wishes But nobody does it They don't believe in magical realism in the Bronx They don't even believe it exists in other places But especially not in the Bronx Come downstairs now I'm buzzing you It's a full moon Our wishes will come true soon Do you know what I'd wish for? Do you know what I'd wish for? Do you know what I'd wish for? Do you know what I'd wish for? A 24-hour Baskin-Robbins in my neighborhood An elevator in my building so that I wouldn't have to walk up to the eighth floor And also a dog. Tags: regina spektor the bronx |

Regina Spektor - Making Records (08-19-2003) A recording of Regina's performance of "Making Records" at Sin-é in NYC in August 2003. (Reuploaded to omit the leftover appluase at the beginning.) -- I am braiding records into my hair Needles and record players Everything's a Possible record cover Or a possible name for a band that I will never have I will never have 'Cause I sing my songs all by myself All to myself From myself I am cute But I'm not in a band Where's my band? Where's my band? Where's my amplifiers? So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen Surrounded by forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so tired and sleeping with my mascara on In the studio They're adjusting the wires and microphones And I'm about to sing my songs And they won't be just my own And I'm glad that they'll exist But they'll make me obsolete 'Cause I sing it just once, and the wires, they remember it And sing it right back And they do it better than I can Anytime, anywhere, I'm preserved I'm a jelly or a jam Jelly or a jam So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen A halo of forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so tired and being so drunk Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so eccentric and being so lonely Corazón Corazón This is my Corazón I know that I am lucky I make shit up all the time And I start to believe it myself Just 'cause it rhymes But I'm so inconsistent My handwriting changes every other word So I'm braiding records into my hair Needles and record players Everything's a Possible record cover Or a possible name for a band that I will never have I will never have Never have Never have Never have So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen A halo of forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so drunk and being so drunk Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so eccentric and being so lonely (more) Tags: regina spektor making records |

Regina Spektor - Ave Maria (Unreleased) Ave Maria, one of Regina's unreleased studio song demos. -- A boy on a train with a birthmark on his forehead Listening to language tapes, and all he hear is birds Everyone laughs, 'cause he brings his own chair to the office Convinced that the cushions will give him sturdier thighs The muscles of the intellectuals are atrophying Nobody's running, nobody's hiding They're lit by a light that isn't even the sun Lit by a light that isn't even the moon Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria Ave, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria Maria Maria Maria Now, how many times have I told you not to go there? How many times have I begged you not to go? And how many times have you snuck down to that cellar Just to watch how the roots begin to grow straight up through our floor?

Regina Spektor - Daniel Cowman Regina's "Daniel Cowman" from her Songs album. -- On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing The world should have ended right then and there Precisely 4:15, when he stopped existing The world should have ended How could it go on? How could it go on? How could it go on? Well, I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist So now that we've got that straight Does it mean that I can fly? Does it mean I that I can go do whatever I want? Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Does it mean that I can go do whatever I please? The premature ejaculation of his death sentence Hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball, hwk-pfff And everything got hazy in the courtroom And then he stood up and then he sat back down Another two times in a row And everything got real slow Like a gunshot in the movies And he remembered Heroin Boy walking through the door Bouncing off the walls and the floor Taking off his belt Taking off his pants Filling up the bathtub Getting ready to go in for a swim Singing, I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist I don't exist So now that we've got that straight Does it mean that I can fly? Does it mean that I can go do whatever I want? Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Does it mean that I can go do whatever I please? And he start remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering... The Heroin Boy He walked through the door And he was screaming And everybody was like, what's you screaming as if it's the end of the world? And he was like, well it is. And I was sittin' in the corner with my pants down And I was sure someone next door was blowin' up balloons And they was red and orange And there was this one lady at the bar And she was trying to buy gin And there was this other lady at the bar And she was trying to sell gin And it worked out good for the boths of them And Heroin Boy Started takin' off his belt Started takin' off his pants Started takin' off his shoes Filling up the bathtub Gettin' ready to go in for a swim And I says nooo You're gonna drooown He says nooo I can't drown Simply because... Shhhh.. A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never, ever drown A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never, ever burn A man destined to fry Can never, ever, ever A man destined to fry Can never, ever, ever A man destined to fry Can never, ever, ever die In any other way But frying Lucky that I'm dying By hanging And not drowning So now that we've got that straight Can't I just be left alone? I want to take a fuckin' bath. Tags: regina spektor daniel cowman songs pianist singer-songwriter anti-folk |

Regina Spektor - Bon Idée "Bon Idée" from Regina's Songs album. -- Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love [x2] Don't tell your secrets to anyone Because ideas are vulnerable As soon as you say your idea out loud Then it can go and live on its own And you will miss it oh so much And you will wait for it's return And you will wish it were your own But ideas that left never come back home Don't tell your mother that you are afraid Don't tell your lover that your heart might break Don't tell your gods that you no longer believe Because as soon as you say it out loud they will leave you And you will miss them oh so bad And you will wait for their return And you will wish they were your own But gods that have left you will never grace your home Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love [x2] Don't tell your secrets to anyone Because ideas are vulnerable As soon as you say your ideas out loud Then they can go and live on their own without you And you will miss them oh so bad And you will wait for their return And you will wish they were your own But ideas that left will never come back home Tags: regina spektor bon Idée idee songs |

But if you're never sorry If you're never sorry If you're never sorry Then you can't be forgiven If you're not forgiven Then you can't be forgotten If you're not forgotten Then you must live forever If you live forever You cannot be reborn If you're not reborn, then You can't be a baby If you're not a baby You can't learn how to crawl If you cannot crawl away Then you must stay in bed all day If you stay in bed all day You're sure to have some visitors Ezra Pound will sit upon your bed Ask you which books as of late you have read Ask you if you've, uh, uh, read his own And whether you could spare a pound Of flesh to cover his bare bones You'll say, man, take a pound Take two What's a pound of flesh between Friends like me and you?
