Losing

Marcella's Album

CIRCLE BACK

My favorite version of this is by The Staples Singers. 
Will post lyrics.

"Sit Down Servant"

An improvisational song I did on my upright piano. 
The first 3:30 min. is "(she can)keep it warm" 
Then the remainder is "747" 

LYRICS:

She can keep my seat warm while I’m away 
And I don’t give a fuck about what she’d say 

I once had this boyfriend who didn’t know my heart and tore it all apart 
I once had this boyfriend who was sappy and soggy 
I once had this boyfriend who’s family murdered my best friend 
I once had this boyfriend who’s mother inspired one to dress themselves in a straight jacket and voluntarily put ya self in a padded cell 
Idled on standby 
Idled on standby 
He had me idled on standby 
It wasn’t even fun 

I once had this boyfriend who made me unhappy on beautiful days 
When I should’ve been smiling 
When I should’ve been smiling 
When I should’ve been smiling 
I once cared for this guy who **** **** ** ** for two hours and I became numb 
It wasn’t even fun 

And now 
Now I care for this guy who can make me *** from across the room 
Now I **** this magician who makes me *** from thousands of miles away  
I don’t care what they say 

She can keep my seat warm while I’m away 
When I’m lonely I think of your face, 

Sweet darlin, no doubting  
I don’t mind 
even if you tell her to keep it warm
until I come home 
She can keep it warm, till I come back home 

Yeah
She can keep my seat warm while I’m away 
I don’t give a fuck about what she say 


Cause now I got this guy who makes me *** across the room 
He makes me *** from far, far away
Don’t keep me on standby, 
Don’t keep me idled (Don't stash me away) 
And I’m fine, 
I’m fine 

 __________747____________
 

You know
where I’m gonna go
when I’ve gone

You’ll just keep walking around in my mind 
You just keep walking 'round in my mind 
You just keep walking 'round in my mind 

 
The "Pink Moon gonna get you all" 
And Tony Bennett is gonna catch me when I fall 
Donny Hathaway is gonna catch me when I fall 
Horace Silver is gonna catch me when I fall 
He’s gonna catch me when I fall 

 
We ain’t got nobody but ourselves 
There ain’t no heaven, there ain't no hell 
(We’re midheaven, there ain’t no hell)
But we got
vinyl 
We got vinyl 

 
I just hope…
(I’ve always been fine with being alone) 
I just hope…
that even it’s in my mind
I’ll die
hugging 
I hope that I die hugging

more lyrics for more new songs @ marcellaandherlovers.com/lyrics

Recorded with the intention of making one complete song, but after listening back, revealed itself as two separate songs in one. This is one take of the voice and piano, on one track. So it's pretty distorted.

keep it warm/747

One quick take of this song I've never played before.  
But I've loved it for many years. 

Not On The Outside by The Moments 
My favorite version is by Sylvia


So you think
My heart's made of stone
And when you're near me
There's no reaction
Well, you're wrong

From the tip of my toes
My love for you steadily grows
On and on

And each day you're not here
I with my tears
Not on the outside, but
Inside strong
I love you, I love you
I love you, girl
Without you I can't go on

I need you, I need you so badly
To keep this cold heart warm
So when you smile at me
And I don't speak
It's not that I don't care
But that I'm so weak
'Cause from my head to my toes
My love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside
But inside strong

I love you, I love you
I love you, girl
Without you I can't go on
I need you, I need you so badly
To keep this cold heart warm

So you think
My heart's made of stone
And when you're near me
There's no reaction
Well, you're wrong

'Cause from my head to my toes
My love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong

I want you, I need you, my baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong

I want you, I need you, my baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong

Skrrt skrrrrt !!!

Lost from the jump 
Get me up out this slump 
You followed since early on 
And now I understand why 

This egg-shaped bruise  
is one of a thousand clues 
that I don't miss you 
and how you misuse me 


You said the water was clear
I said it looked blurry 
We was never 
A match made in hell 
Not even heaven 
Unleavened  
On a different, different level 
On a different, different level 
On a different level 



Sleepin soundly
Tucked in every nightly 
Go back 
Go get what you want
I don't wanna hurt you 
I just wanna see you get everything that you want 
get everything you want 
get everything you want! 
Go'on get everything you want 
get everything you want 


You were lost from the jump 
Get up and out this slum 
You followed me since early on 
Now I understand why 

You said the water was clear
I said it looked kinda blurry 
We never ever 
Was a match made in hell 
Not even heaven 
unleavened 
unleavened 
Unleveled 
Unleveled 
Unleveled 
Unleveled 


It used to hurt me 
to think about hurtin you 
But since you hurt me so many times 
I don't give a fuck no more 

Go 
get everything you want 
Go get everything you want 
Go get everything you want
Go 'hed Go. 
Get everything you want 

Get up out of here, get everything you want

(i dare you to) Fight Me - 2:28:18, 9.40 PM

Written, arranged and instrumentation by Marcella Simien solo. 
Recorded in 2.5 hours in my home studio in Memphis, TN

LYRICS: 
Time is wild 
Tell me what you want from me
Seems like it always wants something more from me 
But how am I supposed to know? 
if it don’t tell me 
How ima know if you don’t tell me ?

Time is wild 
It can't tell me what's my role 
Time is wild 
No it ain’t in our control 
Time is wild and deprives 
But you nourish my soul 

Time is wild 
Still I know that we gonna make it alone 
Time is wild 
But at least you hold my, 
You got my garnet stone

Our Time  - 5:23:18, 10.19 PM

You know we don't stop swimmin
just cause we hit a riptide 
We swim with it 
cause the waves always reach the shore

The smell of _____ is a dream into which I'll run 
Ribbon of road around your sun 
deliver me away from all the undone
Ima deliver myself to races that will be won 
Deliver myself to you

You leave me with this mark etched deep in sunlight's dark 
I feel I do you just the same, it's in the way you speak my name
Say it 

So we fill the empty glass with water from the well 
and drank the whole damn thing
We ain't gonna turn this philharmonic love into bubonic love
What we share is dynamic thrilling love 

And all of them, they can come at us with guns a blazing 
Ce n'est pas grand chose 
I don't wanna wear no clothes 
I just wanna wear my tan with you 


You leave me with this mark etched deep in sunlight's dark 
I feel I do you just the same, it's in the way you speak my name
Say it

No matter how many time zones must zip by I 
Ima wait for you 

No matter how many months and time zones must zip by I 
Ima wait for you 

Baby even if it’s five Novembers 
Five Novembers from now 
I’ll wait for you 
That’s what Ima do 

My heart ain’t lonely cause 
Babe it’s with yours (My heart is with yours) 
And Ima wait for you
I 
Oh Ima wait for you 

And I ain’t craving nobody else’s touch 
Ima wait for you 
I 
Oh Ima wait for you 

My heart ain’t lonely cause 
Ima wait for you 
I 
I 
Oh Ima wait for you 

We met this delicious love this June 
We gonna be together soon 



So I'll see you when 
It’s time 
These tears don’t do nobody no good
So why…cry? 

I wrote this song for your ancestors 
I wrote this song for your family 
I sang it to our children 

I wrote this for your heart 
I wrote this song for your eyes 
Your eyes 
All over me 
In the passenger seat 
Your eyes 

You’re kinda psychic and I kinda like it 

I’ll see you when the clock works for us 
And it ain’t the other way around 

I’ll see you when the clock works for us 
It ain’t the other way around  
Ima wait for you
I’ll wait for you 
Baby Ima wait for you
That's what I'm gonna do 

I'll wait for you darlin
