Rats lyrics

The amazing people over at Water Rats obviously made a good choice in using Song Zu for all their music.  There are many beautiful, groovy and haunting songs used on the show... and here are just some of my favourite lyrics.


I don't wanna
want you

Even though
I want to

I don't wanna
want you tonight

I don't wanna
stay here

Spend another
day here

I don't wanna
want you tonight

##a funky tune, and great lyrics##
i don't wanna want you
[gock/rivett/song zu publishing]
Seems that life's a contradiction
Partly truth and partly fiction
Some wounds not even time can heal
You know you should walk before you learn to run
Take a little time to become
The one you try so hard to conceal
But tonight, I'm in some kind of trance, and it won't let go
Tonight, just a sideways glance, and I lose control
Jack + Rachel
As every day goes by you wonder
Where did you go wrong you ponder
The life you give, you don't get back
Every day you're more obsessive
More possessed but less possessive
So good at coverin' your tracks
But tonight, I'm in some kind of trance, and it won't let go
Tonight, just a sideways glance, and I lose control

I don't wanna
want you

Even though
I want to

I don't wanna
want you tonight

I don't wanna
stay here

Spend another
day here

I don't wanna
want you tonight

Have a little faith ##this is just a gorgeous song##
have a little faith
[water rats - ep 53]

Guess my life's gotta be something
Only live once don't let me be nothing
Seems to me there must be one thing
I got so much to give
Answers come from asking a question
From the heart and not from stressin'
Don't lose sight of what you came from
Don't let me forget myself

Have a little faith
In what you believe in
When things get tough
Don't think about leaving
Gotta be strong
Alone and together
Have a little faith
That love is forever

Not all bad and baby that's something
Touch your heart it's better than nothing
You know me I'll be your resistance
Treat me bad I'll keep my distance
Rile me up you'll get a reaction
Sit me down you'll get satisfaction
I'm just one big contradiction
It's my affliction

Have a little faith
In what you believe in
When things get tough
Don't think about leaving
Gotta be strong
Alone and together
Have a little faith
That love is forever




from i call you out
[giles/song zu publishing]
You are my friend right now
You place the bet I roll the dice and we see just how
If you still think of me.
I build a tower for you
I shout your name across the roof tops I'm a stranger here
Do you still think of me


i didn't think...
[water rats - ep 91]
##this song was played as Frank was preparing to leave - it's sweet and I love the lyrics##

I didn't think we'd ever find
The promised land
The promised land

But if we took a little time
You might take my hand
You'd take my hand

But I got nothing but tomorrow
Maybe that's more than I deserve

One day a voice inside you wakes
And calls your name
It calls your name

Now I must pay for my mistakes
But you're not to blame
You're not to blame

Frank



from sweeter than sweet [smith/southern star publishing]
Sweetest sound


##it breaks my heart when they have Goldie standing on the pier, Frank
sailing off into the sunset, and this song playing in the background##

 

i'll dream of you
[rivett/southern star publishing]

I never thought I'd be the first
To say our last goodbye
And make you cry
I always thought that I'd been cursed
And now as time goes by
I can see it in your eyes

 

somewhere

I'll

dream

of

you

somewhere

where

dreams

come

true

I'll dream of you

somewhere

I'll

dream

of

you

somewhere

where

dreams

come

true

 

Somehow I feel alive
But a part of me is dying
And I can feel the pain
And somewhere deep inside
A part of me is crying
Just crying out your name

If you look into my eyes
I love you though I'm leavin'
I wanna hold you tight
Don't ever compromise
And never stop believin'
Believin' we were right

I know, I know I'll dream of you
Somwhere where dreams come true

 



from the very funky let's party

Let's Party

##this beautifully sad song was used many times throughout the series##

Rachel goldie's theme
[rivett/southern star publishing]

Wake me when this game is over
I'm drownin'
Wake me when this game is over
Take me away

Tell me that the game is over
Tell me I'm dreamin'
Tell me that this pain is over
Just take me away

Wake me when this game is over
I'm drownin'
Wake me when this game, this game is over
Please lead me home

Tell me that the game is over
Tell me I'm dreamin'
Tell me that this dream is over
Just take me away

Wake me when the game is over
I'm drownin'
Wake me when this game, this game is over
Please lead me home

Tell me that the game is over
Take me, take me, take me, take me away
Take me, take me, take me, take me away
