I wasn't sure if I should just attach them inline or post a link, as it is a somewhat large text file now... I guess the moderator will let me know if I should post a link instead. Until then, here are the lyrics: - --- {Tour Songs from 1999, from www.jeweljk.com} Do You Want To Play? Down Grey Matter Last Dance Rodeo Love Me Just Leave Me Alone Race Car Driver So Close To Heaven Sometimes It Be That Way - ---- Do You Want To Play? Met her on a friday afternoon In a neon dayglo pink chiffon satin room She never looked back She always looked good dressed in black And she says oh...... Do you want to play? She lived beneath the disco discount store with pictures of Randy Newman scattered all across the floor I said "This place looks sort of desolate" She said "Are you only half alive? Or have you simply always been this inarticulate?" Oh...... Do you want to play? Don't think too hard Don't think too fast Don't ever try & say What you can't take back Don't try and comprehend What you can't understand Beneath the disco daylight Neon crystal chandeleir Pink champagne deity I said "Take it back" "Take it Back" "Take it Back" Oh...... Do you want to play? Oh...... Do you want to play? - ---- Down Take me down to the water Down to where the west wind blows Take me back to where it all began The red light and the crossbow I'll take you there I'll take you there Down I'll take you down The exit sign always leads to the west Bar stools begin to cry Barstool Romeo Never asks why I'll take you there I'll take you there Down I'll take you down Take me back to where it started Back to where the west wind blows Back to where it all began The red light & the crossbow I'll take you there I'll take you there Down I'll take you down - ---- Grey Matter I hate you, I love you Leave, don't go away I can't decide if I like your face Or if I wish it would stray You're a child but you're malicious You're sweet but don't remember my name Heads you win and tails I'm lost And love equals pain I am drifting without an anchor Through your ambiguous region A strange continent immune to all reason And I'm flattered by your grey matter Inside my skin, I feel your tongue Telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones A scrape against silence, a knife against a plate Makes the sound of need on hate I am drifting without an anchor Through your ambiguous region A strange continent immune to all reason And I'm flattered by your grey matter I do not understand Why a woman can't just love a man You're amusing you're a real cool show With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival You got gold dust in your pocket You got moth holes in your soul >From too many false teeth and greasy flash bulbs I am drifting without an anchor Through your ambigous region A strange continent immune to all reason And I'm flattered And I'm battered by your grey matter - ---- Last Dance Rodeo Your lungs fill up with concrete A voice is all you can hear Red lips and a screwdriver Wrapped around some mink-clad smear And you know that she's a diamond In this damned juke box hell 'Cause fools gold only fools fools In two-bit hotels. But she's cooler than all that She's a real high-class cat She's the queen of the last dance rodeo. But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill up with hunger Your heart filled with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable ho. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ... All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all. Light bulbs and nylons A nd plastic chandeliers Objects are only objects They can't feel when you're near And tangerine lips And lily-white breasts These things are eternal Inside them humanity rests The skin is like a seashell You listen to the soul Like an old-time radio show. But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill up with hunger Your heart filled with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable ho. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ... All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all. But don't wander too far My one constant star Darkness exists, except where you are My feet are filled with wandering They follow your own 'Cause everywhere you are feels like home. So search all you miners You hunters of dreams Look in the alleyways For what you know is not what it seems And fame, all you maidens, It don't exist too long But at least look behind you And see your own shadow's gone Don't you know it's the last-dance rodeo You gotta find yourself a cowboy Or someone to keep you warm when it snows. But under the gas lamp The air is thick and velveteen Your bones fill up with hunger Your heart filled with longing You're no longer human You're an insatiable ho. You wanna bury your face forever In the navel of her soul 'Cause you know ... All you need is a heart to call home All you need is a heart to call home That's all. - ---- Love Me Just Leave Me Alone I saw you standing there You had gold dust in your pocket You combed barbed wire through your hair You thought I didn't notice The skin on your teeth had a tear I tried not to notice so you started to shout Then you and all your minions Started flapping your tiny arms all about They said you were a wise man Women teach wise men to pout I tried to forget you But you tied bells to your name They jingle every time I thought of you Without shame I tried to be unlovable Why couldn't you do the same? What's the matter? Don't you love me no more? Alright then Love me just leave me alone Your mind is a circle But it thinks in straight lines Your arms are like corset strings They only know how to bind Lemmings are adorable Why don't you try it sometime? Your mother was a wolf bite Your daddy was a cigarette Your brother was a rose bud Cross bred with a car wreck Your sister was a stockbroker But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck What's the matter? Don't you love me no more? Alright then Love me just leave me alone It's not your little boy smile It's not your little boy name It's those big boy hands That are the ones to blame I tried to be unlovable Why couldn't you do the same? What's the matter? Don't you love me no more? Alright then Love me just leave me alone What's the matter? Don't you love me no more? Alright then Love me just leave me alone - ---- Race Car Driver Come on baby, let's get in the car I'm gonna take you real, real far I'm gonna paint your mamma's face on the door You ain't gonna see her anymore Cuz I'm gonna be your race car driver Your race car driver They're gonna paint a red flame firebird on front I will be Evel Kinevil, you can double my stunts This ain't no Malibu Barbie Corvette This is a real 350 V-8, fuel-injected engine from a private liner jet And I'm gonna be your race car driver Your race car driver Come on baby, let's get on the road Let's get on track And I will grab the wheel Like it was your hair I was pulling back I'm gonna straddle the line Swear to God it's gonna take you real far I'm just a real small man Iin a real big car And I'm gonna be your race car driver Got studded tires, excuse me if I'm blunt I've got ribbed rims for her pleasure up front Got fuzzy dice with a secret door Full of flavored serums, breath fresheners and more And I'm gonna be your race car driver Your race car driver Anybody ever tell you you look smashing by the dashboard light Come on baby gonna make you feel alright We'll take you at high warp speed It's better than watching Star Trek after you smoked weed And I'm gonna be your race car driver Your race car driver Come on baby, let's get on the road Let's get on track And I will grab the wheel Like it was your hair I was pulling back I'm gonna straddle the line Swear to God it's gonna take you real far I'm just a real small man In a real big car And I'm gonna be your race car driver So come on baby tell me what's your answer, you gonna cross the line Ah, quit your sniveling, it's no or yes this time What you're hungry?

So close to heaven We were almost as good, as good as it gets And you were almost an angel That was almost heaven sent So close to heaven So close Our love was crazy and wild Tender and mild, slow & strong Tonight I'll set it on fire As noble as a storm The lightning fell from your eyes Suddenly, there was no goodbye There's a hole in my heart We were so... So close to heaven We were almost as good, as good as it gets And you were almost an angel That was almost heaven sent So close to heaven So close Wax wings that flew too close to the sun But wasn't it so fun to fly It's far better to love than to lose Than never to love, then to die Oh you were so... So close to heaven We were almost, almost, almost as good as it gets And you were almost an angel Which was almost heaven sent So close to heaven so close... to heaven So close.... to heaven - ---- Sometimes It Be That Way Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak My pen is present but courage left via the sink And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins And I swear to God it won't happen again And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway Oh well, sometimes it be that way And Romeo was a very nice man He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand" And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently Down in the hollow by the old olive tree And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day Oh well, sometimes It be that way I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell" This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air I was bound to find out that you didn't care Oh well, sometimes it be that way And Aphrodite with her neon lamp Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings Could get across these simple things And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain Oh well, sometimes it be that way And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss And I'm sorry for all the times I forgot to imply Something in between the lines And i'm sorry if I ever caused you pain Oh well, sometimes it be that way I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell" This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air I was bound to find out that you didn't care Oh well, sometimes it be that way And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall Electricity chases its tail in the hall And I'm sorry my arms to you were just empty rooms I'm sorry I never could comfort you And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down And I'm sorry if it was my love that rained on your parade Oh well, sometimes it be that way And flame licks the air with its silver tongue Night has many hands but I have just one And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly I'm sorry I never served you Chamomile tea And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway Oh well, sometimes it be that way - ---------------- _____________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Austin Maton icq:7834706 University of North Florida UNF Enrollment Services Web Master and a huge Led Zeppelin fan! _____________________________________________________________________ Artificial Intelligence usually beats Real Stupidity ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 1999 01:26:09 EDT From: JncoGirlSK@aol.com Subject: * Holmdel Show..was it taped? Okay, Jewel was so awesome tonight!!! It was sooo great!!! ... does anyone know if there is a tape being made or where I could possibly get one? B/c this show was so good -- I need it on tape... so please any help would be great. She played for like 2 hours I think so maybe it'll be on two tapes, I'm not certain but please email me about it. Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 1999 01:56:56 EDT From: Zaria2@aol.com Subject: * 7/23 NJ Show Hey! I just got back from the Arts Center show in NJ and I am just in awe over what a talented person Jewel is. I knew before what a great singer/songwriter she was, but seeing her live just puts her on a whole new level. I love the way that she can just change her voice so easily. Like she had some bluesy songs, some rock 'n roll, and just some quiet, angelic stuff. She certainly puts on a great show. I just felt bad when people would call things out during the quiet songs like Grey Matter and Absense of Fear. Those songs seem so personal and while Jewel was singing people would scream "I Love You Jewel!". I guess that's to be expected though. Sorry that I wasn't able to attend the picnic beforehand, it took awhile to get up to the Arts Center. I'm soo psyched now for the 8/4 concert!! Hope to see some of you there. - -Jen ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 1999 01:31:19 EDT From: Mika911@aol.com Subject: Re: * E-centre In a message dated 7/23/99 10:04:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time, AssassinX@aol.com writes: << Anybody know if we are allowed to bring cameras into the E-centre to (naturally) take pictures of Jewel? I hope we can, because it would be extremely awesome! Is there also any chance to actually get an autograph from her.. or do u have to be lucky in finding her? Thanks for your help! >> I'm not too sure about the meeting her stuff, but that isn't something that usually happens to fans at a concert. Anyway, the Jewel concert I was at had MANY cameras going off so I suspect that unless you are waving it at the people when you walk in then you probably can. They said over the PA no flash-photography and I don't think you would really want to flash anyway (because she is lit and away from you....you would only be lighting up the people in front of you). Good-luck! These are just my opinions/views. However, when I think about it they were telling people at our concert at the entrance small 35mm cameras are ok! So I suspect you could get it in and take pictures, but I'm not close to being sure!

Just wondering if any one out there has or knows of a place I could get the guitar tabs for "Love is a Rose" I love that song and it seems easy enough to teach others and my parents have been bugging me about learning 'campfire' songs that everyone can sing along to not just Jewel stuff...but I figure this song is a good compromise...so if someone could help me out that would be so great!!!
