Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Some love we were looking for
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue
I could see all around me
Everywhere
I could see all around me
Everywhere
Sometimes I feel like
I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking
Till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you ask me to
Some days I look down
Afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly
You love me so
The peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know
I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
You might get lucky some days, not a drop of rain
And you're too long on the town and you leave your trouble on the train
And then there's only doubt until you're on your feet again
There's only up or down
The lucky boys upstairs with their penthouse views
Making the ladies, making the news
And I'm taking the orders and pouring the booze
There's only up or down
And they say no one likes a big mouth, yeah, but I've got one anyway
Big as any fat cat, I say what I wanna say
And I don't care if you listen, and I don't care if you walk away
There's only up or down
Shooting little stars
Dying to be near
Burn up along the way
Into the atmosphere
Shooting little stars
Dying to be near
I told the young bond salesman just the other day
When I was his age I was sailing away
I sailed the Russian sea, I've seen the Phillipines
Down to Panama and all the way around
Sometimes there's trouble on the ocean, sometimes there's trouble on the shore
And there's always someone hoping there won't be trouble anymore
It's an elevator, baby, get off on any floor
There's only up or down
Have you ever been baptized in the cool winter water
On a Sunday morning when the sky was gray?
You filed out of the churchyard, so cold it was silver
To gold, tan, and blue cars, and the cars drove away
All the memories fade, send the ghosts on their way
Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow
The tall and the tiny ships on the water
Farther and farther, floating away
Will never return now, all wooden and burned out
They echo and groan now in their salty graves
All the memories fade, send the the ghosts on their way
Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looked at me, that long last time
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have that secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
and nobody crying.
Well a long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave a damn for me
For anything, for anyone
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying,
Just have that secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope there'll be an endless rope
And nobody crying.
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have that secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope there'll be an endless rope
And nobody crying.
And nobody crying,
He encontrado en tu amor,
la fe perdida,
Ahora tiene mi vida una razón.
No sé si fue el embrujo de tus ojos,
que le dijo a tus labios,
Róbale el corazón.
Yo sé que en los mil besos
que te he dado en la boca
se me fue el corazón;
y dicen que es pecado
querer como te quiero,
Quizás tengan razón.
Pero que ha de importarme
todo lo que me digan,
no te he de olvidar;
que si es pecado amarte
yo he de seguir pecando
nunca lo he de ocultar.
Te he de seguir amando,
te he de seguir besando
hasta volverte loca.
hasta que me devuelvas
el corazón que en besos
yo te deje en la boca...
I have found in your love
my lost faith,
Now my life has a reason.
I don't know if it was the witchcraft of your eyes,
that said to your lips,
Steal his heart.
I know that in the thousand kisses
that I have given you on the mouth
my heart left me;
and they say that it's a sin
to love as I love you,
Maybe they're right.
But what should everything they tell me
matter to me,
I won't forget you;
for if it's a sin to love you
I will continue sinning
I will never hide it.
I will continue loving you,
I will continue kissing you
until I drive you mad,
until you give me back
the heart that in kisses
Long black limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
The back seat is nice and clean
She rides as quiet as a dream
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
With me riding in this car, and you flying through the clouds
I've had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
One day I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
Your daddy gave a piece of land
We laid ourselves the best of plans
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
I've had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
Headlights staring at the driveway
The house is dark as it can be
I go inside and all is silent
It seems as empty as the inside of me
I've had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long, on the long
Oh the long, on the long
If I had my way,
If I had my way
If I had my way I would tear this building down.
tear this building down.
You read about Sampson, from his birth
strongest man that ever lived on earth.
One day Sampson was walking alone
looked down on the ground and saw an old jaw-bone.
stretched out his hand, swung it over his head,
when he start moving ten thousand was dead.
If I had my way,
If I had my way
If I had my way I would tear this building down,
tear this building down
Sampson and the lion they got in attack
Sampson jumped on that lion's back
You read about him - he killed a man with his paw
Sampson got his hands around the lion's jaw
broke that beast till the lion was dead
Bees made honey in the lion's head.
If I had my way,
If I had my way
If I had my way I would tear this building down,
tear this building down
Delilah was a woman, so fine and fair
She had lovely good looks, and a-cold black hair
Delilah gained on sampson's mind
first saw the woman just to fill his time
sit down on sampson's knees
tell me where your strength lies, if you please
She spoke so kind, talked so fair,
Sampson told Delilah, cut off my hair,
Shave my head, clean as your hand
And my strength will be like a natural man
caught ol' Sampson by surprise
picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye
dragged him down to the judgment hall
chained him to the stone cold wall
left him there til his head turned brown
Sampson tore that building down
If I had my way,
If I had my way
If I had my way I would tear this building down.
tear this building down.
tear this building down
tear this building down.
tear this building down
i would tear this building down
tear this building down
I'm no kid in a kid's game
I did what I did, I've got no one to blame
But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up
It's all I've got, it's my claim to fame
I'm no fighter but I'm fighting
This whole world seems uninviting
But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up
I fall down sometimes, sometimes I come back flying
Liars are lying, airplanes are flying
Love isn't here, love isn't here
But it's somewhere
Time to forget me, but something won't let me
Love isn't here, love isn't here
But it's somewhere
And I cleaned and I washed up
This dream I don't ever give up
I don't ever give up, I don't ever give up
No, I don't ever give up, no, I don't ever give up
We wait for the bus that's going to Bangor
In my plaid dress and burgundy shoes
In your red lipstick and lilac kercheif
You're the most pretty lady in the world
The bus driver smiles, a dime and a nickel
We climb on our seats, the vinyl is cold
"Michelle ma belle", the song that you loved then
You hold my hand and sing to yourself
Sun sun
Sun sun
Sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun
The leaves are green and new like a baby
Tulips are red, now I don't miss the snow
It's the first day I don't wear my big boots
You hold my hand, I've got burgundy shoes
Burgundy shoes, burgundy shoes
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
Look like you are not afraid anymore
I say that I would rather die trying
Oh swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love in my lips
This time when I swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat
I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time
Aint it baby?
Now I looked at our reflections
In the window walking past
And I saw strangers
I think we're just so scared all the time
That's the main reason why
The world is so dangerous
Oh swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love in my lips
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby that might be so
Tell what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feelin in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
And always so far apart
Little old man, little old man staring down the road
Waiting on the bus, he's getting kinda cold
Bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down
And the driver said, "You can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around"
And the old man says, "That's okay, I'll stand
I might look like a little old man to you
But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years
I don't even know where it's going to"
And the driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?"
Old man says, "No, I don't, do you?"
Driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?"
Old man says, "I just want it to get me through
Hey, I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere
Staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere"
The bus is rolling along, outside it's looking kinda strange
The Earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking
Everything is blue where it was gray
A thousand rivers flood over fields of snow
The driver looks back in the mirror for the old man
"Where did he go, where did he go?
Oh, there he is
Hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don't know?"
And the old man says, "No, I don't son, but I'm happy to go"
Hey, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere"
Hey, he said, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
I was born with no name, knowing nothing, still I don't
Somebody said, 'You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name'
And I said, 'No, you won't,' I said, 'No, you won't'"
Oh, "You can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride"
And the driver said, "This is the middle of nowhere, sir,"
He pulls off to the side
And the old man says, "It might look that way to you, maybe it is"
Old man says, "It might look that way to you, son, maybe it is,"
And he says, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere,"
Hey, hey, he said, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere
It always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere
It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere
Sometimes you fly so high
You really need to fall
You think you wanna die
You need to cry alone (?)
You don抰 feel anything
No sorrow no danger nothing
Someone was asking you
Where do you wanna go
You didn抰 seem to care
You didn抰 seem to know
You never ask for much
just wanna feel the touch and the chill
Sooner or later, Sooner or later you will
Sooner or later, Sooner or later you will
Sooner or later, Sooner or later you will
The snow is coming down
Outside the motel walls
You feel a little chill
You need to cry is all (?)
The night is moving slow
And you抮e just so tired, I know
So be still
Baby be still
Oh yeah
Sooner or later, Sooner or later you will
Sooner or later, Sooner or later you will
Maybe one day along the way
You'll remember me on this island
Smiling at you how I used to
Maybe one day, you'll remember
And it won't be sad to think of all we had
All unhappy ends will be behind us then
Maybe one day along the way
You'll think of me, and you'll be smiling
Maybe one day, maybe one day
all the ladies, on the lake they start to dance
its been a long time, dont you wish you had the chance
what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the silence on the moon?
nobody knows but maybe you will be soon
i used to think the sidwalk was the way
always waiting for my lucky day
over and over every patch of gray
one day inside me i was lucky anyway...
what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the light of every star?
nobody knows but, maybe thats just what you are
all night count all the singing stars
alright is where you want to know you are
what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the light of every star?
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
I'll never be sad, I'll never be lonely
I'll never be hungry and I'll never be homely
Never make a noise when I'm kissing a boy
Amen amen
Old John Paul is keepin' a tab
In his big red folder
At night he is dreaming
Of hollow candle holders
Big is the weight of the world
on his shoulders
Amen amen amen amen
He's keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to himself
And he sees you keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to yourself
Cause he's always keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to himself
Always keeping those dirty little, hey
Shakin' the tree baby
You should be shaking the bed
You know you're rocking the boat baby
She'll be rocking your head
All the family's watching
60 minutes instead
Amen amen amen amen amen
You're keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to yourself
You're keeping your dirty little, hey
You're keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to yourself
You're keeping your dirty little, oh yeah
They'll send you flying right out of St. Francis Xavier
With a note to your daddy about your unspeakable behavior
And who in the hell is gonna be your savior now
Everyone says love is a labor
So I guess you go call a sex line
If you want to love your neighbor, baby
I'll just standing right here and I'll just get safer and safer
Amen amen amen amen amen amen amen amen
You know I'm always
Keeping my dirty little wiggley fingers to myself
I said I'm keeping those dirty little, hey
Keeping those dirty little wiggley fingers to myself
Keeping those dirty little, oh yeah
They'll send me flying right out of St. Francis Xavier
With a note to my daddy about my unspeakable behavior
And who in the hell said I need a savior anyhow
I got the dirty little wiggley fingers

I got the dirty little wiggley fingers
I love the feeling of the wiggley
I love the dirty little wiggley
I love the feeling of the wiggley
I love the dirty little wiggley
Dirty
Little
Fingers
Tomorrow night will you remember what you said tonight
Tomorrow night will all the thrill be gone
Tomorrow night will it be just another memory
Or just another song that's in my heart to linger on
Your lips are so tender, your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender to me, but darling will it last
Tomorrow night will you be with me when the moon is bright
Tomorrow night will you say those lovely things you said tonight
Your lips are so tender, your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender to me, but darling will it last
Tomorrow night will you be with me when the moon is bright
Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide
Just wear your shorts and your long hair
Don't forget the lawn chair
Everybody's gone to the movies
Everybody's gone and its groovy
They went to the one about the big war
I didn't, I'd seen it before
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things
A couple wings on a little white dove
And one big love, one big love
Everybody do like a Monkey
If you want to go on and be funky
No need to talk like a hero
Talk a walk count down to zero
No sense defending your honor
Just go on and kiss him if you wanna
Everything before is gone or is going somewhere
I guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves
I guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things for a couple wings on a
Little white dove
And one big love one big love
I don't know where we are
And I don't care
And now we're out of gas
And riding on air
You took a silver train all the way to Maine
On the way to everything
Railroad wings
There's things you don't know you know
I thought anger told me what to do
With emptiness chasing me
On the border, I found you
You should've heard her sing
Railroad wings
This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky
And it has not been easy for you
There's things I'll never tell you till the day I die
Things I've done I can never undo
Hiding everything
Railroad wings
All these years along, the lights are growing dim
I hear you sing your song in the next room
And as far as I can tell, most everything means nothing
Except some things that mean everything
As I row, row, row
Going so slow, slow, slow
Just down below me is the old sea
Just down below me is the old sea
Nobody knows, knows, knows
So many things, things, so
So out of range
Sometimes so strange
Sometimes so sweet
Sometimes so lonely
The further I go
More letters from home never arrive
And I'm alone
All of the way
All of the way
Alone and alive
You just have to go, go, go
Where I don't know, know, know
This is the thing
Somebody told me
A long time ago
The further I go
More letters from home never arrive
And I'm alone
All of the way
All of the way
Perfect White
Heaped from a snowy white mountain
Slipped down a snowy white hill
Came from a water fountain
Water was sweet until
Sunshine on a shiny ocean
Sunshine on a shiny bay
I opened a tiny shutter and
Sunshine blowing me away
And I don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about
Perfect white girls that wear gold and
I'm very busy
I'm very very busy baby
I'm very very busy becoming invisible
Why would you want
Why would you want to disappear
School is a women
Ask any woman that's sitting here
And I don't a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about
Perfect white girls that wear gold and
If you kiss their asses long enough
They might let you kiss their asses
If you kiss their asses long enough
They might let you kiss their asses
So here I come in a river my hips
Here I come with my big red lips
Hidden now a newfound friend
Cause I'm never going back again
And I don't a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Know a thing
La la la la la la la...
Hey, Peter Pan
I'm going home now
I've done all I can
Besides I'm grown now
I'll think of you all painted with the night
You sit and watch from somewhere
As one by one the lights go out
I wrote a note to tell you how you matter
When the rain came down
All the letters scattered
And washed away
Drifted off to Never
Where you'll be safe from me now forever
I believe you now when
You say that this will hurt
So I don't have to go and
Play with you in the dirt now
Hey Peter Pan
I'm going home now
I'm all grown up
You're on your own now
I'll think of you all painted with the night
You sit and watch from somewhere
Let's write a story of a title wave
We run out of luck
We run out of days
We run out of gas
A hundred miles away
From a station
There's a war and a plague
Smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum
Screams of laughter
Motherless children
A witness and a bible
Nothing but rain ahead
No chance for our survival
Just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before we can't go any further
Love throws a line to you and me
I heard someone calling me from very far away
Sister oh sister did I hear them say?
Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key
Try to find the way
And just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before it all blows to pieces
Love throws a line to you and me
Love you better pick up your pace
If we're gonna win this race
Love we're running out of time
Pull yourself out from behind
Long black limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
The back seat is nice and clean
She rides as quiet as a dream
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
With me riding in THIS car, and you flying through THEM clouds
I've had some time to think about IT
And watch the SUN SINK like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
One day I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
Your daddy gave a piece of land
We MADE ourselves the best of plans
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things YOU SAY you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
I've had some time to think about IT
And watch the SUN SINK like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
Headlights SEARCHING DOWN the driveway
OUR house AS dark as it can be
I go inside and all is silent
It seems as empty as the inside of me
I've had some time to think about IT
And watch the SUN SINK like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long, on the long
Oh the long, on the long
On the long ride home
The Sunday after, there was laughter in the air
Everybody had a kite they were flying everywhere
And all the trouble went away and it wasn't just a dream
All the trouble went away, and it wasn't just a dream
In the middle of the night
We try and try with all our might
To light a little light down here
In the middle of the night
We dream of a million kites
Flying high above the sadness and the fear
Little sister, just remember as you wander through the blue
The little kite that you sent flying on a Sunday afternoon
Made of something light as nothing
Made of joy that matters too
How the little dreams we dream are all we can really do
In the middle of the night
The world turns with all its might
A little diamond, colored blue
In the middle of the night
We keep sending little kites
Until a little light gets through
Light it up, baby, light up that fire
I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now
And these sorrows I'm crying over
And these sorrows I'm crying over
Embrace me, embrace me with your kind love
It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of
And all of this dreaming of silver and gold
Is something to break this winter so cold
And these sorrows I'm crying over
And these sorrows I'm crying over
We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain
Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain
Back in the saddle again and again
Millions of eyes and none of them friends
You better light it up, baby, you better light up that fire
Cause I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now
From these sorrows I'm crying over
From these sorrows I'm crying over
From these sorrows I'm crying over
Occured to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years
well, I guess it takes while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
the sky was bright, and wide, and blue
And I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore
it's tryin' to push right through my skin
I won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinkin' in
'Cause you can't make somebody see
By the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away
But I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Here's your moon
Here's your stars
Go now
Go now
Here's the sun
Here's the birds
Here's you are
Go now
Go now
Got a stellar reputation
As the star that never fell
As the train that left the station
As the secret that no one could ever tell
Here's the lamp
Here's the landing
We might never understand it
Go now
Go now
Here's the trees red and gold
Here's the snow
Here we go now
Let's go now
I was waiting for the leap year
And got caught out in the rain
Singing like a sparrow
Always planning my narrow escape
Here's the morning shining on us
Here's the twilight upon us
Here's the moon
Here's the stars
Here I am
Here you are
We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
How bout that
Here he comes again
Me and my friends
We all laugh at him
Cuz he's so funny
Warm and fuzzy
We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
A celebration!
A celebration!
He caught a little fish
He had one wish
Daddy
We're rocking big daddy
A celebration!
A celebration!
Maybe they come by land
Maybe they come by sea
Maybe they've already come
Maybe they come by me
Slipping into the twilight
I ride the broken wave tonight
An old song on the radio
You knew a long time ago
An old song on the radio
Going out over the ocean
Maybe it's World War I
Maybe its World War III
Maybe it's Vietnam
Maybe we're on TV
Falling into the tall grass
Melting into the tall grass
Spilling out over the lip and
Into the ocean
Into the ocean
Carry carry carry me
Over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean
Over the sea
Maybe I've come so far
Maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm dead or alive
Maybe I'm dead or alive
Maybe I'm none of these
Just an old song on the radio
Someone put on a long time ago
Going out over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
I sat and I thought, and I thought, of the things I could say
And I just came up with this
just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir
and ten innocent people died
Growing old, mean and alone
Oh, baby, pick up the phone
Your mind is blinded by the speed of light
But your driving a ton of steel
Mais Pa Janvier, c'est le seul que moi j'aimais
O, non, Pauline, tu connais que t'es trop jeune.
Si tu veux pas m'laisser aller, je vas jamais m'marier
Tu connais, Pa Janvier, tu vas casser mon cour.
Pa Janvier, laisse-moi m'en aller
O, non, Pauline, Pauline, t'es trop jeune
English Translation: Pa Janvier, let me go
Oh, no, Pauline, Pauline you're too young
But Pa Janvier, he's the only one I love.
Oh, no, Pauline, you know you're too young.
Devil smiled from way down there
in his blackened hold yeah
Well the priest recited holy words
and wiped my forehead clean
all around the world that day
they heard the babies scream
whoa let it out baby
Those ruffles round my ankles
and those ribbons in my hair
well they could not hide that little spider
lurking way down there
Yeah so when I asked my mama
what those little feelings mean
she said go and find your rosary
and count your blessings
Whoa mama birds do it bees do it dogs do it mama
mama I got some holy water
I'm a gonna pour it all over me
Gimme some of that holy water
Come and pour it all over me
I been eating contradictions
just like they was little snacks and
getting all that fiction confused with all those facts
Yeah but I can't live that way no more I had to admit default
Mama said she told me so (?) but I still love her so
Oh Mama admit it you did it
You (?) now mama
Mama I got some holy water
I'm a gonna pour it all over me
Gimme some of that holy water
Come and pour it all over me
I don't know but I'll certainly find out
Admit it you did it
You sanctify sanctify
I got some holy water
I'm a gonna pour it all over me
Gimme some of that holy water
Come and pour it all over me
I don't know but I'll certainly find out yeah
I've spent six years on your trail
Six long years
On your trail
Connie and Val nice old gals
Minding the back of the store for 30 years or more
in the tall grass, down from the trees where I climb
when day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pine
The simple girl
A raggy dress
A dirty face
She's a mess
Flower on the wall
Waiting to dance
You know
She ain't got a chance
Catherine's magic stone
Only thing she calls her own
It makes her laugh
Seen her cry
I wonder why
Most of her time spent alone
She goes to work
Scouring the town
Searching for cans
Oh she ain't proud
She'd like to take
The world by the balls
String em' up
Laugh at em' all
Catherine's magic stone
The only thing she calls her own
Makes her laugh
Seen her cry
I wonder why
Most of her time spent alone
Her mind splits
With the full of the moon
And her eyes cross
When she's all out of booze
But don't be deceived
By what meets your eye
She knows how to get by
Catherine's magic stone
Only thing she calls her own
It's bigger than you or me
The sky or the sea
It's the world she calls her home
It's bigger than you or me
The sky or the sea
It's the world she calls
Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling blue
I know you
Loved me as long as you wanted
Then some day
Left me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry, baby
Wonderin' what in the world do I do
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for cryin', crazy for tryin'
and I'm crazy for loving you
Worry, why do I let myself worry, baby
Wonderin' what in the world do I do
I'm crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for cryin', I'm crazy for tryin'
Starving for your love
I'm hungry for just one kiss
Every raindrop I hear
Agains my window pane
Beats so loud and clear
I swear it's speakin' your name
I got nowhere to turn
Tired of being alone
I feel like breaking up somebody's home
I know it's useless
Hanging on to you
When you belong to someone else
Can't change my feelin'
Cause after all I didn't make it myself
Last night I cried so hard
I believe I caught a chill
Can't control the vibration
My heart just won't stand still
Got nowhere to turn
I'm tired of feelin' alone
I feel like breaking up somebody's home
I know it's useless
I know it's useless
I know it's useless
I know it's useless
You used to make me so mad
Make me so mad
I was almost glad why you make me so mad
And if I wasn't still mad
Probably feel sad
Sorry for you
So sorry and sad
Nothing was ever free
But you still had me
You didn't want that better than me (?)
And if there was no trace
Of anything real
Would you feel safe enough to feel?
Sad, sorry and sad
Think it's disappointment, boy
The only friend you ever had
Was that you never got famous
Makes a good distraction
In case you start to feel bad about your
Undiscovered genius
Makin' everyone so mad
You used to make me so mad
Make me so mad
I was almost glad why you make me so mad
I really don't have time
Believe that I had
Swallow the pill
Of your bitter end
Tonight
I sing soft and low
Just like the moon
Over the snow
I hear icicles falling in the dark
We're just like anyone else
We just want a little bit
Of sun for ourselves
And a little bit of rain
To make it all grow
Maybe a minute or two
To get lost in the glow of love
There's always someone throwing matches around
Waving the shiny new knife
The first to run when the house burns down
I've seen it everyday of my life
I must confess there appears to be
Way more darkness than light
I want to fall like a pearl
To the bottom of the sea
There no one will find us tonight
Tonight
It might look pretty bad
We might lose everything
We thought that we had
But shadows will pass
Smoke, it will clear
If something survives of us around here
I'll be glad 'cause I know
I was lost in the glow
Let's write a story of a title wave
We run out of luck
We run out of days
We run out of gas
A hundred miles away
From a station
There's a war and a plague
Smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum
Screams of laughter
Motherless children
A witness and a bible
Nothing but rain ahead
No chance for our survival
Just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before we can't go any further
Love throws a line to you and me
I heard someone calling me from very far away
Sister oh sister did I hear them say?
Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key
Try to find the way
And just before the flood comes
Just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs
Into the valley
Just before my eyes go
Just before it all blows to pieces
Love throws a line to you and me
Love you better pick up your pace
If we're gonna win this race
Love we're running out of time
Good morning little god
I see you've come for me again
With a noose between your teeth
You are not my friend
Pouring little cups of tea
Humming a little tune
You sit across from me
And fill my little room
Little god
Smoke is in the air
From your little cigarettte
You tell me to throw the fight
Go and place your little bet
Shake, little god-
Shake your little fists
All the strippers think you're odd
But you leave the biggest tips
Little god
Where oh where did I leave myself today
On the bed, on the chair
Did I send myself away
On a sleepy afternoon
Will I be returning soon
Laugh your little laugh
Stomp your little feet
They sulk behind your back,
All the people that you meet
They say time is running out
And you don't know what to do
And I hear them talk about
Another place without you
Little god
Little god
Little god
Little god
The Sunday after there was laughter in the air
Everybody had a kite
They were flying everywhere
And all the trouble went away
And it wasn't just a dream
All the trouble went away
And it wasn't just a dream
In the middle of the night
We try and try with all our mights
To light a little light down here
In the middle of the night
We dream of a million kites
Flying high above
The sadness and the fear
Little sister just remember
As you wander through the blue
The little kite that you sent flying
On a sunny afternoon
Made of something light as nothing
Made of joy that matters too
How the little dreams we dream
Are all we can really do
In the middle of the night
The world turns with all of it's might
A little diamond colored blue
In the middle of the night
We keep sending little kites
To the end of the Earth, I'll search for your face
For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste
Threw our hope into Hell and our children into the fire
I am the one who crawled through the wire
I am the one who crawled through the wire
There's a million sad stories on the side of the road
Strange how we all just got used to the blood
Millions of stories that'll never be told
Silent and froze in the mud
Silent and froze in the mud
I know a cold as cold as it gets
I know a darkness that's darker than cold
A wind that blows as cold as it gets
Blew out the light of my soul
Blew out the light of my soul
I dream in my sleep, I dream in my days
Of some sunny street not so far away
Where up in a window a curtain will sway
And you and I'll meet down below
You and I'll meet down below
I know a cold as cold as it gets
I fight a war, I may never see one
I live only to see you live to regret
Everything that you done
Everything that you done
Pieces of her hair are wrapped
around and 'round his fingers
And he reaches for her side
for any sign of her that lingers
How bout that
How bout that
Here he comes again
Me and my friends
We all laugh at him
Cuz he's so funny
Warm and fuzzy
We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
A celebration!
A celebration!
He caught a little fish
He had one wish
Daddy
We're rocking big daddy
A celebration!
A celebration!
Please throw the little fish back
And he looked at me, that long last time
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said I love you but, I don't even know why
Ahora tiene mi vida una raz¨®n.
No s¨¦ si fue el embrujo de tus ojos,
que le dijo a tus labios,
R¨®bale el coraz¨®n.
Down the block
To TableTalk
Close my eyes
Make the pies all day
I'm standing in the shadow of the hill
I'm standing in the shadow of the hill
Feel the fear everywhere
Hope it don't get me killed
I'm standing in the shadow of the hill
I'm standing in the shadow walking blind
I've been unfair & unkind
Turned away from your suffering far too many times
Now I'm standing in the shadow walking blind
Sister, brother, there's a fire on the hill
And it's burning like a lantern
Making all this time stand still
I'm standing, I'm standing, I'm standing
I'm standing, standing, standing
Mother, I am weak but I am strong
Standing in the darkness this long
But in the deepest darkness I listen to your song
Mother I am weak but I am strong
I'm standing, and I'm standing, I'm standing
I'm standing, standing, standing, I'm standing
You first found me in my holding pen
Stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in
I bit one off and you came back again and again
Then the nice people let me out one day
And you told me how to act and
What to say
But you never get what you wanted that way
You never get what you want
You never get what you want and I don't think it's my fault
You never get what you want, do you baby?
Everything's always such a mystery
Including your sad little history
Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay
Ever since I've know you you've walked that walk
You've broken all the records
Now you've broken all the clocks
And everytime it breaks my heart to hear you talk this way
You never get what you want
You never get what you want and I don't think it's my fault
You never get what you want, do you baby?
Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragic
Whole lot of hard times, whole little bit of magic
These bitter bitter fruits and these endless hallways
They're killing us baby
We gotta walk away, walk away
You never get what you want
You never get what you want
You spend your whole time thinkin 'bout why I'm so deranged
Well honey, why don't you think about that for a change?
You never get what you want
You never get what you want
Your whole damn life
You never get what you want
Not your whole damn life
You never get what you want
And I don't think it's my fault
You never get what you want
Say goodbye to the old street that never cared much for you anyway
And different colored doorways, you thought would let you in one day
Goodbye to the old bus stop frozen and waiting
Weekend addition has this town way over-rated
Walk across the baseball green, the grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, I can't make you stay
I can't spend another ten years wishing you would anyway
How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired with useless desires
Everyday I take a bitter pill, it gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains, the ones I have from day to day
To help me think a little less about the things I miss
To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this
Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friends, you wanted to be free
And somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I wanna be
How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire
And even I'm gettin' tired of useless desires
Say goodbye to the old building that never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friends, you won't be seeing me again
Goodbye to all the window panes shining in the sun
Like diamonds on a winter day, goodbye, goodbye to everyone
How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire
Burns the last of the day down and I'm the last one hanging around
Waiting on a train track and the train never comes back
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
Just overhead on the old trapeze
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
One of these nights the old girl's going down
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down
She started with us on the back of a horse
Just seventeen and already divorced
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze
Some people don't care if they live or they die
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
Gather their courage and they give it a try
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
After that her heart never ached again
After that her heart never ached again
Some poeple don't care if they live or they die
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
Gather their courage and they give it a try
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
Just overhead on the old trapeze
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
Halle- Halle- Halle-
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Silver bell
Silver bell
Yeah that's the name of the old motel
You were traveling when they fell
Down on a bed at the silver bell
How you been
I'm doing well
I hear you're digging a hole to hell
How you been
I'm doing well
Meet me tonight at the silver bell
I hate to tell you baby,
This is home
The wallpaper is
A color called sea foam
Pull down the shades a little and you've
Got yourself a prison cell
Every night the wicked wait tonight
Baby at the silver bell
Silver bell
yeah that's the name of the old motel
I did a stupid thing
I even tried
Feels like a hundred bees are
Stinging me from the inside
Don't know just what to do
Don't know just who to tell
So I'm telling you to meet me
Tonight down at the silver bell
Silver bell
Yeah that's the name of the old hotel
I hate to tell you baby,
This is home
The wallpaper is
A color called sea foam
Pull down the shades a little and you've
Got yourself a prison cell
Every night the wicked wait
I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world, now
To top of the world
I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no God to
Teach me no lessons
I'd come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world , now
To the top of the world
I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the end side
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye and go to work in the rain
I don't know why, don't know why
'Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow?
Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
Take her for a ride
To the top of the world, right now
To the top of the world
Top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
Does anyone remember Tony
A quiet boy, little over weight
He had breasts like a girl
When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely
I'd stare over his shoulder
At a map of the world
He always finished all his homework
Raised his hand in homerooom
He called the morning attendance
With the pledge alligence to the gloom
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
He said I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror and saw
A little faggot starin back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
I hated every day of high school
It's funny, I guess you did too
Its funny how I never knew
There I was sitting right behind you
They wrote it in the local rag
Death comes to the local fag
I guess you finally stopped believing
That any hope would ever find you
Well I know that story,
I was sitting right behind you
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
He said I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror and saw
A little faggot starin back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Hey Tony whats so good about dying, dying
Hey Tony whats so good about dying, dying
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying
He said I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror and saw
A little faggot starin back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
You were so cruel
I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more mud on my face
But the years will bring a bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace
I don't believe there is such a thing as saying too much
There are those who like to look and
Those who ain't afraid to touch
Oh baby don't you know that the
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Well we dig our heels in
And wonder who's gonna win
Who is gonna win it or wear it out
I change the lock on the door
Or learn how to take a little more
I can outrun all of the devils there
But never the doubt
Try not to throw all your money into 20/20 vision
For the world won't wait on politics or indecision
Oh baby don't you know that the
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Can you hear the voice inside you
It calls you back to where you belong
Can you see the one beside you
Who's been standin' there all along
Baby, well you were so cruel
I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more
Mud on my face
But the years will bring
The bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace
The time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Time will do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Sweet Lorraine the fiery haired brown eyed schemer
Who came from a long line of drinkers and dreamers
Who knew that sunshine don't hold up to dark
Whose businesses fail
Who sleep in the park
Lorraine who spoke of paintings in Paris
And outlandish things to her family just to scare us
whose heart went pokin' where it shouldn't ought
Whose mother could only sppit at the thought of
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
Her father her father would tear out like a page of the bible
Then he'd burn down the house to announce his arriva1
Her mother was working and never was home
Lorraine carved out a little life of her own
Lorraine started working, Lorraine went to school
Her mother threw stones at her on the day that she moved
Now isn't that a very strange thing to do
For someone who never really wanted you
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
Her daddy called her a slut and a whore
On the night before her wedding day
The very next morning at the church
Her daddy gave Lorraine away
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
In the battle of time in the battle of will
It's only your hope and your heart that gets killed
And it gets harder and harder lorraine, to believe in magic
When what came before you is so very tragic
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house on out on the edge of town
We got married, swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from eachother's hearts
At first I thought it was just restlessness
That it'd fade as time went by, and our love would heal
In the end it was something more, I guess
Tore us apart and made us real
I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters
And they made her feel one hundred years old
I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black
And I'm telling myself
It's gonna be all right
I drive by night
And I travel in fear
That in this darkness
Lavoine/Aboulker
Relax tellement relax
Étendus, détendus
Pas de téléphone ou fax
Pas de malentendu
Sur le dessus du lit
Je suis à ta merci
Et s'il est trop petit
Glissons sur le tapis
Pépères tellement pépères
Pas pressés d'arriver
Se laisser la rivière
Gentiment déborder
Nager c'est magnifique
Même s'il y a que l'océan
Qui reste pacifique
Et pas pour très longtemps
Reste sur moi
Que je respire avec toi
Reste sur moi
Que je respire avec joie
Tranquilles, tellement tranquilles
Enchaînés, dechaînés
Fondus au noir des villes
Ou au blanc des années
Le souvenirs-parfums
Jamais ne s'évaporent
Nos transports en commun
Sont de plus en plus forts
Peinards, tellement peinards
Que c'est facile à dire
Que c'est joli à voir
Parler et puis pâlir
On aimerait que ça dure
Ce petit val qui mousse
Comme un coin de verdure
Comme une chanson douce
Couchés, tellement couchés
Si l'on prenait la pose
Pour la postérité
Viens qu'on se superpose
Rester très loin du reste
N'avoir aucune idée
Ce qui compte, c'est le geste
Auguste de s'aimer
Bateau tellement bateau
Mais tellement cool
Nos draps sont nos drapeaux
On est bien dans notre peau
J'ai pas de parapluie
Pour le temps qui s'écoule
Enfants du paradis
Mary,Mary, Mary, mo ma ma mo Mary, Mary, Mary...
She comes swinging in
With her tire iron
She hits everything in sight
When she gets flying
And in the end no one survives
No, sakes alive
They all die
She hates the morning
She hates the light
She hates the darkness of the night
She hates herself most of all oh
She can't walk
She only crawls and
What we gonna do about Mary
When there is no getting out of your own way oh
What we gonna do about Mary
I wish that we could send her away
Mary, Mary, Mary mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary Mary...
We go walking sometimes
Where she can't follow
When we return
It's her drink we swallow
And everytime we feel so hollow
We wonder will we see tomorrow
And it isn't easy
And it isn't plain
We try to lose her, but she remains and so
Maybe we will all go insane oh
Just like Mary yeah
Just like Mary well
Just like Mary yeah
Just like Mary oh
Mary, Mary, Mary, mo ma ma mo,Mary, Mary, Mary...
And this life we had and
This little slice
Were words she just sacrificed
And if this keeps up
This cold cold rain oh
We will surely lose our way
What we gonna do about Mary
When there is no getting out of your own way oh
What we gonna do about Mary
I wish that we could send her away
Mary, Mary, Mary mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary Mary...
MARY
MARY
MARY
MARY...
It's hard to listen to a hard, hard heart
Beatin' close to mine
Poundin' up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep, deep, deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep, weep, weep
With all this rain fallin' down
Strange, how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain
It's hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right
It's never rained like it has to night before
Now, I don't wanna beg you, baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not lookin' for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live
Strange, how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holdin' on underneath this shroud
Rain
Strange, how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holdin' on underneath this shroud
Rain
Strange, how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain, oh, rain, oh, rain
You know you've done enough when every bone is sore
You know you've prayed enough when you don't ask any more
You know you're coming to some kind of understanding
When every dream you've dreamed has passed and you're still standing
Mama says god tends to every little skinny sheep
So count your ribs and say your prayers and get to sleep
Nothing is louder to god's ears than a poor mans sorrow
Daddy is poor today and he will be poor tomorrow
Hey that's the poor man's house
Everybody get a look at the poor man's house
Everywhere they went before must have turned them out
And now they're living in a poor man's house
There's nothing like poverty to get you into heaven
They got a lot of wine and fish up there
And the bread's unleavened
They got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crack
Lots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backs
Daddy's been working too much for days and days
He doesn't eat
He never says much but I think this time it's got him beat
It isn't that he isn't strong or kind or clever
Your daddy's poor today
And he will be poor forever
Tey that's the poor man's house
Those kids are living in a poor man's house
They walk to school with the soles of their shoes worn out
And come home in the evening to the poor man's house
What are you chopping that wood for
Why are you growing that corn
Mama's sewing a brand new shirt and
You're wearing the one that's torn
I guess it's for some one elses kid who wasn't born
In a poor man's house
Hey take a look at that house
Everybody we're living in a poor man's house
Seems like everywhere we go they find us out
Heaped from a snowy white mountain
Slipped down a snowy white hill
Came from a water fountain
Water was sweet until
Sunshine on a shiny ocean
Sunshine on a shiny bay
I opened a tiny shutter and
Sunshine blowing me away
And I don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about perfect white girls that wear gold and
I'm very busy
I'm very very busy baby
I'm very very busy becoming invisible
Why would you want
Why would you want to disappear
School is a women
Ask any woman that's sitting here
And I don't a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing about perfect white girls that wear gold and
If you kiss their asses long enough
They might let you kiss their asses
If you kiss their asses long enough
They might let you kiss their asses
So here I come in a river my hips
Here I come with my big red lips
Hidden now a newfound friend
Cause I'm never going back again
And I don't a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Don't know a thing
Know a thing
I took off my iron smile
Because I found it weighed me down
Tomorrow when the world wakes up
I'll be in another town
You don't know what you want
At this moment you think it's me so you
Move your hand across my knee
Turn me into some novelty
Yes I'm one more girl on the stage
Just one more ass that got stuffed in some jeans
Just one more day that you don't find true love
No, you don't know what it means
Did you ever take the time to
Think about who I might be
Where I've been or
What I'm thinking or
Who I love or what I see
One more girl on the road
You might pass on your way home
Someone's sister, someone's wife or
Just some bitch who's probably
Got no life and yes I'm
One more girl on the stage
Just one more ass that got stuffed into jeans
Just one more day that you don't find true love
No, you don't know what it means
One day we'll be a pile of ashes
For the best of time, it passes
So take your hand off my knee
Do you know what it means to be
One more girl on the stage
Just one more ass that got stuffed in some jeans
Just one more day that you don't find true love
She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight
The only thing a touching him is a crack of light
Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and 'round his fingers
And he reaches for her side, for any sign of her that lingers
And she says you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
One of them bullets went straight for the jugular vein
There were people running , a flash of light
Then everything changed
Nothing really matters in the end you know
All the worrys sever
Don't be afraid for me my friend, one day we all fall down forever
She says you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
The wedding date was June just like any other bride
She loved him like no one before and it was good to be alive
But sometimes that can slip away as fast
As any fingers through your hands
So you let time forgive the past and go and make some other plans
You are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
You are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
As I'm sittin' in the taxi for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looks at me, that long last time
Turns away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Just have this secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
Well a long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave a damn for me
For anything, for anyone
But darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying,
Just have this secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head
I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're trying
Still have this secret hope
Sometimes all I do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
And nobody's crying
Nobody's crying
Don't bring me bad news, no bad news
I don't need none of your bad news today
You're a sad little boy, anyone can see you're just a sad little boy
That's why you're carrying on that way
Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down, burn your own house down
Try to kill your own disease
And leave the rest of us, there's a lot of us, leave the rest of us
Who wanna live in peace to live in peace
I'm gonna find me a man, love him so well, love him so strong, love him so slow
We're gonna go way beyond the walls of this fortress
And we won't be afraid, we won't be afraid, and though the darkness may come our way
We won't be afraid to be alive anymore
And we'll grow kindness in our hearts for all the strangers among us
Till there are no strangers anymore
Don't bring me bad news, no bad news
I don't need none of your bad news today
You can't have my fear, I've got nothing to lose, can't have my fear
I'm not getting out of here alive anyway
And I don't need none of these things, I don't need none of these things
I've been handed
And the bird of peace is flying over, she's flying over and
All you kids get out the back door
I've never seen her this bad before
She took all her favorite things down from the window
And broke 'em all over her clean floor
It's Saturday at the mansion
The oldest boy walks with a slouch
The young ones are wild in back of the house
And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And talk to the mother of God
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
Like she was trying to say something to me
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida,
Like everyone sick of the cold does,
And I waited on old people waiting to die
I waited on them until I was
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here anymore
Someone will wonder who lived here before
And went on their way
I live too many miles from the ocean
And I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with a black cup of coffee
And I talk to the mother of God
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer...
Can wait a long time for an answer
Maybe ... it's alright.
Maybe we won't fight anymore.
Maybe love is waiting at the end of every room.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But maybe ... maybe it's al..........right.
Diamonds, roses,I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes Or I think I will die
Everywhere is somewhere And nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer
Everytime I see him he smiles
And he tells me how well he's walking these miles
But he never ever asks a single thing about me
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
Everywhere is somewhere And nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
to cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
you're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always stay
It's not far
I can walk
Down the block
To TableTalk
Close my eyes
Make the pies all day
Plastic cap
on my hair
I used to mind
Now I don't care
I used to mind
Now I don't care
Cause I'm Gray
Did I show you this picture of my nephew
Taken at his big birthday surprise
At my sister's house last Sunday
This is Monday and we're making pies
I'm making pies
Making pies
Pies
Thursday nights
I go and type
Down at the church
With Father Mike
It gets me out
And he ain't hard to like
At all
Jesus stares at me
In my chair
With his big blue eyes
And his honey brown hair
And he's looking at me
Way up there
On the wall
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart
Taken of us before the war
Of the Greek and his Italian girl
One Sunday at the shore
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape
They were taken by the birds
Who flew home to the country
As the bombs rained on the world
Here I am
Walking the block
To TableTalk
You could cry or die
Or just make pies all day
I'm making pies
Making pies
Making pies
We were drinking like the Irish
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Here's lookin' at you, kid
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
I think I've seen the look before,yes,
it's kind of non-commital
It says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle
it says it don't mean a thing, but still, somebody does
He'd like you to join the club that likes to say
there's no such thing as love and
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Sometimes you find yourself
flying low at night
Flying blind and looking for
Any sign of light
You're cold and scared, and all alone
You'd do anything just to make it home
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Long black limousine -
Shiniest car I've ever seen.
The back seat is nice and clean;
She rides as quiet as a dream.
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
I said goodbye to you, and I threw my roses down.
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud,
With me riding in this car, and you flying through them clouds.
I've had some time to think about it
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
One day, I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
Your daddy gave a piece of land
We laid ourselves the best of plans.
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead,
I wonder as I stare up at the sky a-turning red.
I've had some time to think about it
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you
On the long ride home
Headlights searching on the driveway
The house is dark as it can be
I go inside and all is silent,
And seems as empty as the inside of me.
I've had some time to think about it,
And watch the sun sink like a stone
I've had some time to think about you -
On the long, on the long...
Oh the long, on the long -
Ain't no talkin to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that so
I'm gonna let him fly
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly
There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Of the choices we are given it's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talkin to this man
He's been tryin to tell me so
It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly
I'm gonna let him fly
Lavoine/Aboulker
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Qu'il soit trop tard, qu'il soit trop long
Sur un boulevard ou sous un pont
Le sans-logis fait sa chanson
Sur une guitare sur un violon
Sur un tam-tam du Gabon
Sur une batterie à l'occasion
Le sans-patrie fait sa chanson
Si la vérité sort de la bouche du métro
Si le monde entier dit qu'on a tort d'aimer trop
Quand l'hiver est rude et qu'on cri "chaud les marrons"
Le sans-abri fait sa chanson
La liberté
C'est pas la porte à côté
La liberté
C'est le bout du monde
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Sur des gamelles et des bidons
À tout hasard sous les balcons
Le sans-papiers fait sa chanson
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Sur un air de Duke Ellington
À bout de souffle, à bout de son
Le sans-le-sou fait sa chanson
Si la vérité sort de la bouche du métro
Si le monde entier dit qu'on a tort d'aimer trop
Quand l'hiver est rude et qu'on crie "chaud les marrons"
Barbelivien/Bernheim
On a tous des mots d'amour
Cachés au fond de soi
Un quai de gare à Cherbourg
Où l'autre ne viendra pas
On a tous laissé des larmes
Dans un hôtel du Nord
Pour un homme ou une femme
Qui s'appelait encore
Si tu savais comme je sais qu'tu l'oublieras jamais
Tu t'en fous de c'que j'te dis, je sais, je sais
Arrête de boire Jojo
Tu vas finir barjo
Pour trois fois moins que rien
On est toutes des putains
Arrête de boire ivrogne
L'Alsace et la Bourgogne
J'vais t'dire c'que t'es ce soir
T'es le roi des comptoirs
Y'a des moments tu m'fais honte
À t'regarder souffrir
Allez demande leur ton compte
Maintenant il faut partir
Tu vois pas qu'ils s'foutent de toi tous ces p'tits mecs au bar
Me dis pas qu't'es devenu ça, j'pourrais pas le croire
CHORUS
Si tu savais comme je sais qu'tu l'oublieras jamais
Tu t'en fous de c'que j'te dis, je sais, je sais
Kopf/Amsellem
Vous viviez comme un prince, je chantais pour trois sous
Dan un bal de province et je rêvais de vous
À la fin du polar, quand vous ne mouriez pas
Comme je l'enviais la dame qui souriait dans vos bras
Je vous aurais aimé avant de vous connaître
Mais vous aurais connu avant de disparaître
Je ne suis pas peu fière, mais je tiens à en rire
Entre toi et le poster, j'ai du mal à choisir
Et je te dis Vous
M'avez éblouie
Moi qui n'étais rien
Vous qui aviez tout
Vous m'avez dit Tu
Es belle, toute en noir
Quand vous êtes venu
M'écouter un soir
C'était au mois de mai, j'm'en souviendrai toujours
J'étais morte d'angoisse, vous sachant là dans l'ombre
Puis sont venus vos fleurs et l'espoir d'un amour
Vous le grand, moi la p'tite, soyez là si je tombe
La gloire est si fragile mais bien moins que mon coeur
On dit qu'elle est le deuil éclatant du bonheur
À la fin du polar, si vous deviez mourir
J'essaierais c'est promis de garder le sourire
Et je te dis Vous
M'avez éblouie
Moi qui n'étais rien
Vous qui saviez tout
Vous m'avez dit Tu
Es belle, toute en noir
Quand vous êtes venu
M'écouter un soir
Et je te dis Vous
M'avez éblouie
Moi qui n'étais rien
Vous qui saviez tout
Vous m'avez dit tu
Es belle, toute en noir
J'etais si émue
Sous votre regard
Quand vous êtes venu
Lavoine/Grillet/Aboulker
Je n'suis qu'une demoiselle sans balançoire
Les yeux au ciel, j'regarde filer les stars
Depuis nous deux je n'écoute plus Mozart
C'est pas mon seul regret tu peux me croire
L'amour, l'amitié, ça n'a rien à voir
Faudra un jour rattraper ce retard
Ce soir j'aimerais bien la refaire, l'histoire
J'ai une envie claire de te revoir
J'ai couru pour venir me jeter contre toi
Je retiens mon souffle, Ah...Ah...
J'ai couru pour venir, j'ai couru, me voilà,
Je reprends mon souffle, Ah...Ah...
Le temps qui passe a des reflets bizarres
Comme un glaçon dans la Marie Brizard
J'ai l'impression qu'on m'a volé ma part
J'ai une envie folle de te revoir
Il doit bien exister ce monde à part
Pour les comme nous, les amis qui s'égarent
J'étais ton p'tit diamant, ta perle rare
S. Brewski
Et quand le temps se lasse
De n'être que tué
Plus une seconde passe
Dans les vies d'uniformité
Quand de peine en méfiance,
De larmes en plus jamais
Puis de dépit en défiance
On apprend à se résigner
Viennent les heures sombres
Où tout peut enfin s'allumer
Ou quand les vies ne sont plus qu'ombres
Restent nos rêves à inventer
Il me dit que je suis belle
Et qu'il n'attendait que moi
Il me dit que je suis belle
Juste faite pour ses bras
Il parle comme on caresse
De mots qui n'existent pas
De toujours et de tendresse
Et je n'entends que sa voix
Éviter les regards, prendre cet air absent
Celui qu'ont les gens sur les boulevards
Cet air qui les rend transparents
Apprendre à tourner les yeux
Devant les gens qui s'aiment
Éviter tous ceux qui marchent à deux
Ceux qui s'embrassent à perdre haleine
Y a-t-il un soir, un moment
Où l'on se dit c'est plus pour moi
Tous les mots doux, les coups de sang,
Mais dans mes rêves, j'y ai droit
Il me dit que je suis belle
Et qu'il n'attendait que moi
Il me dit que je suis belle
Juste faite pour ses bras
Des mensonges et des bêtises
Qu'un enfant ne croirait pas
Mais les nuits sont mes églises
Et dans mes rêves j'y crois
Il me dit que je suis belle...
Je le vois courir vers moi
Ses mains me frôlent et m'entraînent
C'est beau comme au cinéma
Plus de trahison, de peines
Mon scénario n'en veut pas
Il me dit que je suis reine
Et pauvre de moi, j'y crois
Barbelivien/Berheim
Y'aura des bateaux sur la mer
Du sable dans nos pull-over
Y'aura le vent, le vent d'automne
Y'aura le temps, le temps qui sonne
Y'aura des enfants sur la plage
Du soleil lourd d'avant l'orage
On aura tout ce temps passé
Et un vieux chien à caresser
Il restera de nos amours
Une chambre mauve au petit jour
Et des mots que tu m'avais dits
Hôtel Normandy
Il restera de notre histoire
Des guitares rock, un piano noir
Le fantôme de David Bowie
Hôtel Normandy
J'aurai une ancienne limousine
Des disques d'or dans mes vitrines
On ira toujours faire un tour
Sur la jetée, au petit jour
Les vagues auront gardé ce charme
Qui nous mettaient du vague à l'âme
Y'aura l'ennui des grandes personnes
Oh heavenly day, all the clouds blew away
Got no trouble today with anyone
The smile on your face I live only to see
It's enough for me, baby, it's enough for me
Oh, heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
Tomorrow may rain with sorrow
Here's a little time we can borrow
Forget all our troubles in these moments so few
All we've got right now, the only thing that
All we really have to do
Is have ourselves a heavenly day
Lay here and watch the trees sway
Oh, can't see no other way, no way, no way
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
No one at my shoulder bringing me fears
Got no clouds up above me bringing me tears
Got nothing to tell you, I've got nothing much to say
Only I'm glad to be here with you
On this heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Heavenly day, all the trouble's gone away
Oh, for a while anyway, for a while anyway
Oh, baby, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go
My hands shake, my heart's unsteady
Oh, how I once loved you so
I know all the magic's gone
Wish I had a magic wand
I would put a spell on you
You would see it as I do
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, baby, you were my drug
And I was just your cigarette
I was nothing you could be proud of
I have lost my self respect
My self respect, my self respect
I have lost my self respect
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
Baby, baby, we got no traction
I'm just waiting and waiting for your reaction
So I try a new direction
I'm gonna give myself a resurrection
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
I am no longer young, I'm an old man's daughter
We got caught with the sun going down
We spent most of our days adrift on the water
That's how I know my way around
And it's hard to be free
When freedom is just me
And the waves on the terrible sea
I could land with the rest of all the broken down birds
That's where I found my way home
With the rest of the faces on the face of the earth
Facing off with the great unknown
And all the tears that we cry
Is something gone wrong
Is somebody lost
The places long gone
Keep on moving, baby, keep on moving
The wave's coming over your knees
And it's hard to be free
See some things that I see
Be some things that I be
We are swimming with the snakes
At the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and what's more
We never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will
Never be free
I heard them ringing the bells
In heaven and hell
They got a secret
They're getting ready to tell
It's falling from the sky
Calling from the graves
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
We are calling for him tonight on this
Thin phone line
As usual we're having ourselves one
hell of a time
And the planes keep flying right over our heads
No matter how loud we shout
"Hey, hey, hey !"
And we keep waving and waving
Our arms in the air
But we're all tired out
I heard somebody say
Today's the day
A big old hurricane
Is blowing our way
Knocking over the buildings
Killing all the light
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We already confessed
And I raise my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get
It's hard to live still I think it's the best bet
It's hard to give and I'm never gonna forget
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
A couple of young girls went
Sailing down A1A
Into the arms of Florida
Sailing down a highway
Singing their heads off
Protected by the holy ghosts
Flying in from the ocean
Driving with their eyes closed
The night wants to kiss you deep
And be on his way
Pretend he don't know you the very next day
Isn't it hard sometimes
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
And there's nothing to hold me
You slide down into the seat
From twelve hours on your feet
And get the tide to wash you away
For thousands and thousands of days
And someone you never meet
Signs a check you get every week
You try and still can't forget
All the strangers that you have met
The night never owed you nothing anyway
Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day
Isn't it hard sometimes
Isn't lonely?
How I still hang around here
And there's nothing to hold me
Every time, every year
The travelers come and go
You see them landing with their pale wings
And flying back to the snow
And the summer comes marching in
With his heavy boots on
Kicking along the blacktop
Sidewalks of A1A
The young girls in their bare feet
Cigarettes smoking
Looking every which way
Wishing and hoping
And you want the night just to let you sleep
And be on his way
Wrap you up in some cool sheets
And have nothing to say
Isn't hard sometimes
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
Took a walk around the block
Bought a candle it was
Flaming red flaming red
Thought a thought then
I forgot so
I sang a happy song
In my head in my head
Wore my red shoes
Wore my red shoes again
Getting worn out from
All of the wandering
Worn out and holy
Holy as Jesus
Me and my red shoes
Nothing can please us
Stupid girl
She was dressed like
She deserved everything that she got
bloody pumps
Dead girl
Hey, world
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Wore my red shoes
Wore my red shoes again
Getting worn out from
All of the wandering
Worn out and holy
Holy as Jesus
Me and my red shoes
Nothing can, nothing can please us
Flaming red
Walkin' in my red shoes and I
Feel so worn out
walkin' in my red shoes and my
Soles are torn out
Walkin' in my red shoes and I'm
Holy as Jesus and I'm
Walkin' in my red shoes and
Nothing can, nothing can please us
Kopf/Amselem
Oh, oh...
Fatiguée d'attendre
De toi des mots tendres
Que tu ne diras pas
Toi qui ne penses qu'à toi
Amour impossible
Quoi de plus terrible
De perdre ou te suivre
Te rêver, ou vivre
J'ai tout essayé pourtant
Toutes les armes des femmes
J'ai même versé une larme, seulement
Ai-je aimé nos silences
Ou ta belle indifférence, finalement
Je ne sais plus quoi faire
Moi qui d'ordinaire
Mesurais mon courage
Aux violences des orages
Il me faut faire le deuil
De toi de mon orgueil
Moi j'étais prête à tout
Sauf me pendre à ton cou
J'aurais été avec toi
Jusqu'en Alaska
Qu'importe si je ne supporte pas le froid
J'ai trouvé la chaleur
Près du feu des projecteurs
Loin de toi
Amour impossible
Quoi de plus terrible
De perdre ou te suivre
Te rêver, ou vivre
Je ne veux plus attendre
Je ne veux plus apprendre
Comment briser la glace
Quand ton reflet s'efface
Je ne vais pas t'aimer sans mot dire
J'vais pas te maudire
Oublier ton visage et ta voix
Tu sais pour être femme
On peut bien briser son âme
It's funny how a morning turns a love to shame
Disguised and disfigured and you thought I tasted like rain
There`s nothing here but a shadow nothin here
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
There's nothin here but the shadow, and now you know
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
I can chew like a cannibal
I can yell like a cat
I even had you believing that I really really like it like that
But there was never a moment
Not a moment
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
You ever got within a hundred million miles of my soul
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
And I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
You left open the window till the morning
And the winter walked in
Reality fired her wooden bullet
Splintered under our skin
They say I'm walking on freedom
This is freedom
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
I still don't blame you for leaving,baby
It's cold living with ghosts
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I'm sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit

Entrer dans la lumière
Comme un insecte fou
Respirer la poussière
Vous venir à genoux
Redécouvrir ma voix
En être encore capable
Devenir quelquefois
Un rêve insaisissable
Toucher des musiciens
Sourire à des visages
À quatre heures du matin
N'être plus qu'une image
Être là de passage
Sans avoir rendez-vous
Avoir tous les courages
De me donner à vous
Et vous laisser venir
Comme un amant magique
Et vous ensevelir
Sous mon cri de musique
Entrer dans la lumière
Comme un insecte fou
Respirer la poussière
Anytime you say it with heart
Anytime you're falling apart
When you're washing the sheets
Any stranger you meet
When there's somebody waving goodbye
You're coming home to me
Just remember you're coming home to me
It's a world full of bar rooms and alleys
Of blue nights and red river valleys
When you feel like a shirt and a tie
Or like dirt or a lion and no one can see
You're coming home to me
Just remember you're coming home to me
When you get to that place that's just under the stars
Hanging over the tree at quarter to three
When you get there you'll know that's as far as you go
When you get there you'll see you were already free
When you get there you'll
When you're lost and you're found
And you're found then you're lost
When you're dancing with no one around
You're coming home to me
If you had the real thing how would you tell
Liars can say it all just as well
Every single word you've heard in vain
Baubles of gold, stars in your hair
Reflections that told that they were not there
And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames
And up in the air they would write your name there
But love would fall to pieces in the rain
Who would know better than you
A hundred love letters and none of them true
Christina, Christina
It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things
With nothing so rare as the love that it brings
In the silence of a smile that understands
A piece of the action, pieces of gold
Everyone's paid well and does what they're told
For the simple daughter of a simple man
And up in the air they would write your name there
Their love will fall to pieces in the rain
Who would know better than you
A hundred love letters and none of them true
Christina, Christina
Chief had been out of the army
For 15 years or more
He was still marching up and down that street
Just like he was a-walking a war
They called him the chief because he was Indian
It was a name they said behind his back
In the summer he'd march without any shoes
Until the soles of his feet turned black
'till the soles of his feet turned black
His hands wouldn't work the machinery
Cause his brain told him what to say
It's a hell of a life
But its somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
Honey have a look at the places
Like a dog running on a track
The wheels keep on going as fast as you get there
You don't ever get to go back
I don't really know what I'm doing
Just watching myself in some play
And the actress looks like she wants to go home
And lie in bed all day
Yeah lie in a big bed all day
Her hands wouldn't work the machinery
Cause his brain tells him what to say
It's a hell of a life
But its somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
Well I wish that you could see me when I'm flying in my dreams
The way I laugh there way up high
The way I look when I fly
The way I live
The way I fly
Chief got out of the army
Jesus went to live with the poor
I'm still marching up and down that street
I don't know what I'm doing that for
I don't know what I'm doing that for
Dog comes howling up behind you, sinks his teeth in your leg
Tells you how now things are going to be a little different
And he takes you down a peg
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress
Because you make him ashamed for you, he'd like you to took your best
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the dog bites down a little harder
Somewhere out in the wild wild west
That silly little thing that we tossed, tossed, tossed
Somehow we don't talk about nothing else but that
Silly little thing that we lost, that we lost, that we lost
And now there's no name for you
Come to find out none of that shit was even true
But now there's no name for you
I understand that we lost that too
When you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the dog bites down a little harder
Change ...........
Man says "Woman I'm a little tired of you"
And she says "Don't leave me baby I'll do anything you want me to"
He says "Can't you do something about the mess around this place"
And she says "Anything baby, anything, I'll cover my face"
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress
Cause you make him ashamed for you in your nakedness
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh
I went back to Boston
Back to the City of Lost Love
I went back to the place
And recognized your face in the stone long gone
I walked around Harvard Square
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
I took the red line a wrong way
Across the River Charles
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
I went walking in Boston
A little bridge I used to walk on
I was slipping on a hog
And I flung into that sea of strong
Processing need not apply
For you to license to fly
Hey young lady don't be so suprised
You know you're not alone
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
It was Memorial Day
I went to where you lay
There were thousands of people
Just like you in a chain graveyard
You came out of there awake
Looking for the sky
And got a slap in the face
Well hey
Desperate needs a big led
And gets put in the place
You better know your place boy
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
Only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving goodbye
The farther I come the farther I fall
Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just making me small
Smaller and smaller
I fall back
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
Chasing the race and the races run you down
Sooner or later with a view from the ground
And a tear in your eye
You say baby why can't we fly
Into the blue sky
High
Into the blue sky
Be my singing lesson
Be my song
When I tell you I'm falling
You tell me I'm strong
You say trees have grown tall
birds have flown high
Higher and higher
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
I'll fly over a rainbow
I'll be sun kissed
Sail around the planet Venus
And send a long letter
Way back home
That says all that I know
All that I know is the blue sky
High in the blue sky
The farther I come the farther I fall
Whatever I knew it was nothing at all
Trees have grown tall, birds have flown high
Higher and higher
