Eva Schubert is a singer and songwriter based in Vancouver, Canada. Inspired by jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone, blues icons like Etta James, and — perhaps improbably — Leonard Cohen, she writes in a diverse range of styles.
You've learned how to craft lady killing lines
They find their target heart almost every time
And in between your conquests, you like to shoot at mine
It's not right
It's not kind
Chorus:
Oh don't...
He’s a big city boy
Like to go to the limit
When there’s a problem
He knows how to spin it
He’s a deal maker
And a claim staker… uh huh
He’s a competitive man
But so...
I need your lips like water
I crave your touch like bread
And every day I hunger
No matter how much I’ve been fed
And I don’t like to admit it
‘Cause I’ve been proud...
There's a lot of guys I know
They ask me why I don't go
Around- to all those places in town
They say I'm sitting on the shelf
That I shouldn't stay home by...
You came into my life like a bolt out of the blue
Snapped my head around before I could count to two
It's like there was a code someone gave to you
And...
I used to sit and sigh
Watching life pass me by
Unfit for the role I played
Unhappy with the words I’d say
I used to be a puppet on a string
Pulled into all...
This time I said
I’m going to keep my cool
Not going to lose my head
Not going to play the fool
And that four letter word
I will not speak
The one that starts with...
When my time to go comes
I’ll miss the rain
That falls fragrant on the earth
And greens it again
I’ll miss the way spring
Makes everything new
But I don’t know how to say
Goodbye to...
Let’s not pick out curtains
Life’s moved us too far
To think of shared addresses
Or quarrels in the car
There are too many pieces
Now to rearrange
But if I tell you this
Will you think...
