I Just Wasn't Made for These Times Lyrics


I've been looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind
They say I've got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they would
Each time things start to happen again
I think I've got something good going for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Oh I guess I just wasn't made for these timesEvery time I get the inspiration
To go change things round
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things can be found
Where can I turn

When my fair weather friends drop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I've got something good going for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
I guess I just wasn't made for these timesSometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sadI guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Oh I wasn't made for these times
I wasn't made
I guess I just wasn't
I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
"You see a show like the one Kat Edmonson put on Tuesday night at Scullers, and you wonder what the heck people are doing at Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry concerts. Really, the world is unjust... Edmonson, a petite singer from Austin, Texas, is at once a throwback and a pioneer. Her intimate vocal style and stage presence recall the heyday of jazz
- she has the expressiveness of Billie Holiday, the elegance of Ella Fitzgerald, and the voice of Blossom Dearie. Yet she doesn't merely retread standards. Sure, she likes her Cole Porter, but she and her pianist/arranger, Kevin Lovejoy, molded and modernized chestnuts like "Just One of Those Things," "Night and Day," and "It's All Right With Me" into entirely fresh tunes with new harmonies, inventive rhythm structures, and sometimes mysterious undertones.

Edmonson has grown quite comfortable inside these songs, taking even more liberties with them than she did on her recent CD, Take to the Sky, which stands among the best records of 2009. Like Holiday, Edmonson likes to sing just behind the beat, which infuses her demure voice with drama and heartbreak.
