Rain On My Window - Jill Jackson - lyrics

Thank-you to whoever just asked for this lyric: I've been meaning to do more lyrics for ages and you finally put me up to it and it is, as it happens, raining on my skylight window as I write.

This is what I think the lyric is but it comes with the usual proviso:

Rain On My Window

How do I begin?
How do I begin?
Now, to fly away...
When I can't feel the wind on my face.

I've been running out
I've been running out
Of these things to say...
There's another girl in my place.

And here comes the rain on my window.
It seems like an old friend to me
Who is crying down on my shadow
And knows how lost I can be
Without you, without me.

There's nothing like the sun
There's nothing like the sun
That I see in your smile
And now the day is gone it leaves me cold.

And here comes the rain on my window.
It seems like an old friend to me
Who is crying down on my shadow
And knows how lost I can be
Without you, without me.

Tears are in my hands
Tears are in my hands
And they cut like ice
How am I gonna live without my soul?

And here comes the rain on my window.
It seems like an old friend to me
Who is crying down on my shadow
And knows how lost I can be
Without you, without me.

And there we will meet
Somewhere between
A prayer and dream
God only knows how my heart goes on!

Without you, without me
Without you, without me

I could walk the world
I could walk the world
A thousand times
But I could never find a love like this.

And here comes the rain on my window.
It seems like an old friend to me
Who is crying down on my shadow
And knows how lost I can be
Without you, without me.

Without you, without me.
Without you, without me.

It is a brilliant album from start to finish and one that should be far better known. If I were sent to a desert island with just one album from 2008 then this would likely be the one.

Fragile Heart - Jill Jackson lyric

I said earlier in the week that I was going to try and work out the lyrics for this album, even though it is probably one with which few are yet acquainted.

Jill Jackson live in Edinburgh in 2008.

I started with Track 8 simply because, on what is a remarkable album, it caught my attention first:

FRAGILE HEART

Here comes the sunshine
To brighten my day.
There go my worries
I've washed them away.
Now I have blue skies
They're no longer grey.

Out of the darkness, into the light
Everything's madness, but hey that's just life
I just need someone to kiss me goodnight.

Ooh, ooh, ooh - Right from the start
Ooh, ooh, ooh - my fragile heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh - tears me apart
Ooh, ooh, ooh - my fragile heart.
So long ago
When love was young
So much to give
And no one to blame
And I just need shelter

Every day I'll fight but I'm hidin' away
Most times I can't find what to say.
I just need someone to take it away.

Ooh, ooh ooh, - Right from the start
Ooh, ooh, ooh - my fragile heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh - tears me apart
Ooh, ooh, ooh - my fragile heart.

Here comes the sunshine
To brighten my day.

Genio atrapado y las consecuencias.

As a single 'Genie in a Bottle' was pretty remarkable and, perhaps more surprising still, although it was released almost nine years ago it has proved a blueprint for many very successful pop songs since.
Be that as it may, and the above is true, I think that the version released on the 2001 album Mi Reflejo, sung in Spanish, is actually far better than her original version sung in English!

Then, somewhat later, there was a cover version of note, released as a single by short-lived Scottish band Speedway, and also included on the album 'Save Yourself' (2004).

The English language version soon got a second chance but with a very different artist in charge... Jill Jackson 'punked' it and it has never sounded better. While Speedway soon split this might, in retrospect, be regarded as a statement of intent.
Christina Aguilera's career has gone from strength to strength since then, albeit with a time-out for her first child, a 'greatest hits' collection out imminently and a new studio album due in summer 2009. You might be forgiven for thinking that Jill Jackson has quit the music game altogether.
That is, however, far from the truth...

In the meantime here are the lyrics to Genio Atrapado, as found on Mi Reflejo.

Genio Atrapado

Vamos, vamos... uh, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Vamos, vamos, ah

Un siglo llevo en soledad,
atrapada queriendo escapar.

Soñando que alguien... me libere
Me lanzas un beso y yo te quiero amar
Pero hay un precio que tendrás que pagar
Para que me entregue, para me entregue

Oh oh oh oh oh (mi cuerpo dice quiero)
Oh oh oh oh oh (Pero mi alma tiene miedo)

Si me quieres junto a tí, frota bien y ya verás
Como un genio liberado haré tus sueños realidad
Si me quieres junto a tí, gánate mi corazon
Tres deseos te concedo, si me juras tu amor.

Como um genio atrapado espero
Liberarme con tu amor sincero
Como un genio atrapado espero
ven, ven, sacarme de aqui

Bailando nos domina la pasión
nuestros impulsos fuera de control
Es tan dificil... contenerse
Piensas que hoy tal vez sucederá, pero yo sé que nada pasará
Tienes que quererme, tienes que quererme...

Oh oh oh oh oh (mi cuerpo dice quiero)
Oh oh oh oh oh (Pero mi alma tiene miedo)

Si me quieres junto a tí, frota bien y ya verás
Como un genio liberado haré tus sueños realidad
Si me quieres junto a tí, gánate mi corazon
Tres deseos te concedo, si me juras tu amor.

Como um genio atrapado espero
Liberarme con tu amor sincero
Como un genio atrapado espero
ven, ven, sacarme de aqui
Oh oh oh oh oh (mi cuerpo dice quiero)
Oh oh oh oh oh (Pero mi alma tiene miedo)

Si me quieres junto a tí, frota bien y ya verás
Como un genio liberado haré tus sueños realidad
Si me quieres junto a tí, gánate mi corazon
Tres deseos te concedo, si me juras tu amor.

Como un genio atrapado espero
ven, ven, sacarme de aqui

[No importa que es música pop!]
