A GODDESS ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
BURNING LIKE A SILVER FLAME
A SUMMIT OF BEAUTY AND LOVE
AND VENUS WAS HER NAME.
SHE'S GOT IT,
YEAH BABY,SHE'S GOT IT.
I'M YOUR VENUS,
I'M YOUR FIRE AND YOUR DESIRE.
HER WEAPONS WERE HER CRYSTAL EYES
MAKING EVERY MAN MAD,
BLACK AS THE DARK NIGHT SHE WAS
GOT WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAD.
SHE'S GOT IT,
YEAH BABY,SHE'S GOT IT
I'M YOUR VENUS,
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no! that the joke was on me
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin'alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All By myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All By myself
SINCE THE TIME YOU WENT TO THAT PARTY,
WHEN I MET YOU, LITTLE GIRL,
AT THE MOMENT I SAW YOUR EYES,
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I GOT LOST.
HAVE YOU GOT SOMEBODY WHO LOVES YOU?
HAVE YOU WALKED ALONE THROUGH THE STREETS?
WHY DON'T YOU SEE THAT I EXIST
LOOK AT ME
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY RIGHT AWAY?
LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME SOON
I WANNA KNOW.
DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU LOVE ANY OTHER
WHO IS HE? IS HE SOMEONE IMPORTANT?
WHAT HAS HE GOT THAT I DO NOT HAVE.
Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"
(And we're) rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story now
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
[repeat song from here once]
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you
But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
C G Am F
I've tried to do all the things
AM G
That I almost never did before
F G C AM F
My life has changed just because of you
AM G
I've been waiting for a long, long time
F G C F

AND WHEN YOU COME BACK
I WILL SAY TO YOU
GIVE ME LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...
I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But i wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'i'm home on shore leave,'
Though in truth we were at sea
So i took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
Let me tell, my whole story
I had some time ago
She was a pretty little girl
She was my wife, I was so glad
My happiness finished so fast, my
She broke my heart and told me
She didn’t love me no more
Then today I am alone
I spend my time, spend my time
Sweeping the floor
The dust goes my mind flies
The time goes by and I know
I'll find another girl
But I still remember
There was a place that I lived
Havia um lugar onde morei
And a girl, so young and fair
E uma garota tão jovem e faceira
I have seen many things in my life
Eu vi muitas coisas em minha vida
Some of them I’ll never forget
Algumas delas, jamais esquecerei
Everywhere...
Em toda parte que eu for...
I was sent to prison
Eu fui mandado para a prisão
For having murdered my wife
Por ter assassinado minha esposa
Because she was living with him
Porque ela estava saindo com outro
I lost my head and shot her
Eu perdi a cabeça e atirei nela
This was my story in the past
Esta foi minha história no passado
And I’ll go to reform myself
E eu vou me reformar
I am paying for my mistake
Eu estou pagando por meu erro
I will never be the same man again
There was someone
I used to love her every morning
I didn't Know
She was my true love.
I had her so
When I said "Baby, it's over"
Please tell me why
She asked me "over"?
I can see my mistake
I still love that girl
I feel this in my heart
Please forgive me my love
Despite you so far
I want remenber you.
I had her so
When I said: "Baby, it's over"
Please tell me why
She asked me "over"?
I can see my mistake
I still love that girl
I feel this in my heart
Please forgive me my love and Fade Out.
Despite you so far
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow,
I was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again.
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And make the memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow,
No one said a word about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again.
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again.
Da da ra da da ra da da
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know; it's been coming for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shining down like water.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
Till forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it cant stop, I wonder.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I GOT BACK HOME LAST NIGHT AND SHE WAS CRYING
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE'D LOST HER BOY AND HER MIND
LISTEN TO ME FRIEND, IF YOU STILL LOVE HER
GET BACK…
SHE'S THE KIND OF GIRL YOU REALLY NEED
I'M TRYING YO HELP YOU GUY
DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
YOU LIKE TO PLAY THESE GAMES ALL THE TIME
DON'T YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW LOVE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BUY
AND FEELING IS SUCH A THING YOU CAN'T HIDE
LISTEN MAN, NOW IT'S TIME TO CALL HER NAME
RUN TO HER DON'T STAY, DON'T BE THE SAME
LIFE IS VERY SHORT, THINK OF THE TIME YOU HAVE LOST
CHANGE YOUR MIND TO HURT HER SO, IT'S A CRIME
GET BACK, MY FRIEND…
Born because of Darkness
Full of primitive evil,
We life again.
United by hatred,
We go hurting the weak
We kill enemies - purify the soul.
Our existences are hymns to the glory of Darkness
We ride to wings of Pagan storm
The Moon leads us.
When we fight, we do it to
take the revenge for our brother killed
in the sunshine
We are not mortal...
We've always lived in Darkness!
We are not weak...
Now united we pay the homage
A Dark Dream
Yes, It is a Dark Dream,
and coldful hatred hidden behind it...
I'm still dreaming,
I've been getting stronger,
because of this dream for centuries...
My nocturnal vision I realise in your world,
when the killes sun tries to hide...
We are still fighting gods are with us!
I'm Dreaming.
Dream about power of the white race,
Dream about superiority of the master on the icy thrones.
The Black Forest welcomes me
as a wolf hungry for the blood...
He welcomes me to dream in him
Where our world is - the land of full moon?
Will that once had been ever come back?
Where's your pride, White Man?
Has the cross veiled your eyes?
For thousand years strangers kept this land to dishonour
To the people of strange blood you've sold your honour
Your forefathers call you to avenge their blood
The heritage of ancestors which you have to fulfil
But now the time has come!
You must wake and call the oath
Millenium of disgrace you'll erase
Because your blood ordains you this!
There are legions of those like you left
Go that we can take revenge for forefather's tears
Golden cross symbol of Europe's extinction
We stand by your side, warrior pride is what leads us!
Loyalty is our honour - loyalty to our blood
Go awake - Aryan and handle the sword
Time has come now
Under the grey dust of oblivion
Foul by the leg of god on the cross
The bones of pagan kingdoms rest
Worshipped by their warriors
Praised by the psalms of the night
Golden force of hatred
Power enchanted in the glare
The black moon arises
To light the night of return
Reborn by the breath of abyss
Banished knights return
The pagan empire returns
Ice lies down on the earth
The dawn of the new world comes
It shows transformed face of the earth
The last battle comes with the day
On the horizon, the last warrior draws in the shadow of death
Destroyed legions of heaven
Blood permeates the earth fast
Oblivion covers the temples
Pagan warriors return with their targets
Wind spreads the ashes of destruction
The Dark Gods bless the winners
In the glare of torch, calm faces are seen
I don't regret anything the bridges of life,
Feeling the earth's cold on my face. I come to you,
Oh, wonderful death!
Rending the sight,
Hiding the thought
I don't feel her anymore, because life is too wreak...
I didn't expect it!
I feel as the storm is coming
The holy war is near
Total chaos.
Living in the dream, where everything is possible
I prepare the arym of nothingness
We can't wait so long.
We will raise our pride heads
And we will strike suddenly!
We will jump to your throats
We will enslave your children
We will humiliate your woman.
The storm is coming there is no time
Feeling the smell of combustion
You open the doors to unholy life
Forever, for millions of sacrifices
You'll rot from inside
Forever. I'll remember it,
because you will screamin delightful pain
The loyalty for country
The light of lightning is a sign for us
We must go to the road of battle
For the fathers world transfer the blood
It cleans the enemies's sin
The sunny cross leads us
A fighting branch holds a guard
The last burst the last scream
A sword shines on it the blood sign
The loyalty for country
This is the most important thing
You rise your head with an honour
With a dignity you must go ahead to death
An honour's the blood, the honour's the death
The death for our a cleaning race
The fight of time calls us
We're defenders our earth and its holy laws
For ages across this land
A fighting whirl transfered it
So you catch the sword and enemies death
I was born in frosty country
Among eternal silence
I hiked among sorrow
Too dark, too hateful
A cold, frosty moon’s my only brother
The perennial hike’s still continuing
The north’s wind with me
Among darkness and dreams
Through mountains cover by snow
Empty, there freezed the sun! silence…
Among the foggy forests
All intervals the darkness hate
My cold soul of wolf’s continuing
I’m leading to the common circule
Scream of wolf’s penetrating me among the fog
Mighty attack horde of wolfs
The fire of revenge’s like cyclone
Among the sleeping forest
My interval heritage
We chopped by swords!
To making the bloody feast for wolfs
Blades played the steal song
In foreigns helmets
And the wolfs had full of meat
And a raven called the raven
We chopped by swords!
We wielded the spears high
Warriors fell often
Death collected the bloody harvest
The black raven flew
In the feast again
We chopped by swords!
Valkyries worshipped us
When we send for Odin
Valiants warrior
Our wispy arrows
Sang a mournful song
And they played blades song in the discs
We chopped by swords!
I don't suppose that I died so quickly
I don't carre about meaning
Anybody can't redeem your fate
Your destiny can't let you, oh! How
Sweet are your horns with honey
In divineValhalla's of Odin!
We chopped by swords!
Valiant don't afraid a cold of death
So I don't fear all
I part gladly with you
And serve to a divine feast
My life passed away, so I smile and die
Endless night
Blood on mouth
Bloodred moon
At the sky
Forest around us
Prime home
Of cursed souls
Black hateful metal
Legions of evil
Heirs to the tradition
Have risen forever
To conquer
And fight
In the name of the true one
Black hateful metal
Our flame
Of eternal fight
Will never vanish
Burning hot in hearts
And dark minds
It reign our
Deeds
Black hateful metal
Insanity and blood
We are heading
Towards victory
Our weapons
War and suffer
In our minds
Dwells the fight
Black hateful metal
Walking among the ruins
Of this world we
Will be proud
It's our work of art!
My Pagan Fatherland (Evil Power's Night)
When the trees become back, the time comes
The red blaze appears in the sky
holding the clouds of hatred.
When the forest becomes black
The time of transformation comes!
Our souls evil and cruel, depraved they call:
Oh, how much I'd like to fight!
Oh, how much I'd to see the blood of my enemies
on my father's ground.
The vengeance will be done
We can't go away now.
Oh, my brother wolf is calling me
in the blackness of the forest.
Oh, the moon is crying,
his silver tears falling on my me
create the silver armour.
Father moon's shined blinded my enemies
When the trees become black,
The woodland silence's sweeping the warriors
Desperate scream's tailing away
Then they hit in the cauldrons
The martial song has rung!
Charging valiantly
Among the way full of death
They befell the warrior to an enemy
Standing the bloody fight
Which's very furious
In silence among the voices
And dying heroes
With sword in his hands he hits
Excites to fight, forgetting
About yourself the ancient warrior
An anger burns eyes
The fighting scream's sweeping him
They don't hear anything don't see anything
He's citing and killing he's avenging
Cracking up among the enemies
A burst's panting a screams extracts
A mouth calling ghost about help
Throwing curses he's still murdering
Bloody comrades fall down
At foot bloody sword ejects from hands
Valkyries garb him
Hiking to gate of Valhalla
For him the battle finished
He'll sit among heroes
In hall of Odin!
I saw tonight three sister's burning
and muddied by the riverside
I led my love to that burning building
three sisters were my mother's pride
Oh my god
all this for nothing
oh my god
left three sisters burning
I saw tonight my mother's angel
in a backseat fire
in the riverside
I led my love to that burning building
three sisters were on the other side
Oh my god
all this for nothing
oh my god
left three sisters burning
I saw tonight three sister's burning
and bloodied by the riverside
I led my love to that burning building
three sisters were my mother's pride
Oh my god
all this for nothing
oh my god
Sick from the city
It burns in my side
Ships are leaving
Shines so bright in the nightime
Though my memory's fading
It's you that I find
If only you could stay and,
Not leave me behind
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
'Cause it's a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
'Cause it's a small town
It misses you my love
I fall into a hole
Those sad stories you write
Your voice is so pretty
And it gets caught in the right rhyme
Though my memory's fading
It's you I find
If only you could stay and,
Not leave me behind
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
'Cause it's a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
'Cause it's a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
'Cause it's a small town
It misses you my love
It's a small town
It misses you my love
It's a small death
It's a broken town and,
There I knew you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music travelled
to me from that orphan sky
and pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Thought I loved you once, didn't I?
But I wanted the fame, didn't I?
Thought it broke your heart, didn't I?
But that face in the dark wasn't mine
Love hold me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
For I loved you once, didn't I?
Mama when she'd ride that horse
Buried out in Wilson fields
Mama'd tell me all she thought
Mama'd tell me all how riding feels
And I thought
Not yet.
Then when mama got too old
No one ever rode that horse
Until one night I stole her key
And I did ride it all night 'till dawn
When I thought
Not yet.
It looks an ugly world out there
Of girl-guides and disease and war
I love my little velvet bed
I never want to leave it anymore
At least
Not yet.
Charlie was the first I caught
And Charlie was the first I begged
To lay an anchor in my heart
He was running his fingers down the inside of my legs
When I thought
Not yet.
All my fears will come to me in dreams
Maybe the end ain't as far as it seems
Not yet revived but not yet mourned
I'm fine from within
Just better without
This noose around my neck
Is counting me out
Whenever I run
My beautiful sin
Is calling outside
And it's that that reminds me of you
Now our every last effort tried
So far has been denied
It's easy to cry for love
Far harder to try
There goes my guiding light
Farewell my guiding light
I fought my way in
But can't find a way out
Of this weightless regret
Surrounding me now
And whenever I run
Some beautiful sin
Is calling outside
And it's that that reminds me of you
Now our every last effort tried
So far has been denied
It's easy to cry for love
Far harder to try
There goes my guiding light
They're forming in circles from over my head
Calling in silence
I can only fall apart
And I feel their wings go
They're falling in pieces from over my head
Calling in silence
I can only fall apart
And I feel their wings go
They bind me in violet with my love in my head
My heart now an island
I can only fall apart
And I feel their wings go
And I feel their wings go
And I feel their wings go
And I feel their wings go
She found the world embedded in the snow
It's too bad the rest have made it all their own
there's got to be a better way somehow but I don't know
Wish I could find the words and heal my baby
She made a crib with blankets for the floor
Painted the bluest colour on the walls
I don't want to know the time I don't care about that at all
Nobody knows the way to heaven baby
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
We'll never find the words, darling believe me
So here it is your heart's out in the cold
The friends who care still call you on the phone
The vicar said it's wrong but hey what does he know
He said its wrong but that the Lord forgave me
Well I don't want his pity and your scorn
Boy why you preaching no one's listening anymore
That old live of yours sickens me
Directed I'm on an eternal call
No man alive has earned the right to save me
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
We'll never find the words, darling believe me
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
We'll never find the words, darling believe me
Now here I am, I'm pushing 24
I've got a house and a little terrace on the lawn
My baby's grown and I'm as happy as a fawn
Now only the beauty of the world delays me
No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
We'll never find the words, darling believe me
No, this crown of thorns
Your advice for young mothers to be
It's fox hunting season and I've got my hound
I just had a close, close shave
Wedding bells are ringing blue murder
Please
Please
Please Please Please
Still my need is calling
Still my need is calling
Still my need is getting me down
I'm of shape but no feeling so I think I'll sit down
And outside it's raining blue murder
Please
Please
Please Please Please
Still my need is calling
Still my need is calling
See my love is asleep on the floor
In a pose that's familiar
See my sun will just send you to war
If the battle won't kill you
But I've a change in mind
Calling all the time
That I don't want to live in your side
Though the rose is vermillion
And I find it so hard to survive
Without when within you
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
All the years buried under the floors
And the wounds in the parlour
Would have come up to greet us before
If it weren't for my heart because
I've her name in mine
And it's calling all the time
The house she lived in
Is now all we're left with
It'll take a lifetime to pay for this
All the nuns were singin
And the crowds were immense
All the papers wrote it a different way
those known desires
Her first admirers
who claimed that they were her favourite
but I know that it was
me alone she loved
though i still have nothing to show for it
Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I have your voice in my head and your frame on the wall.
It all went wrong but I wish you could stay with me
love, stay with me
Her brother john says
Aint sure if she's dead
Or just hiding somewhere away from him
we all still remember
that cold december
with your lawn ablaze and you razor blade drawn
ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I have your voice in my head and your frame on the wall.
It all went wrong but I wish you'd have stayed with me
Have stayed with me
Oh love
When it's cold love
That's when I know love
That's when I know
Oh oh oh ohhh
Well now it all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Now it's all done
Ya I'll lay down there for hours
Now it's all gone
I can see you in the flowers
Oh honey won't you come home
I'd offer my soul
If I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
And I'd follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all
Your knives are sharp
When you put them in my heart
Though the truth, you'd say,
Is I like them there that way
From this hoodlum skin
I can always run to him
Undeserved, capsized
In the gutters of his eyes
Darling I need you far more than I say
None of my fears are as dear to me
And a great light dims
Every day I'm torn from him
And our stars align
In Elysian Fields at night
And the wheels, they turn
And the fallen heather burns
At a loss and scared
In exile and unprepared
Darling I need you far more than I say
None of my fears are as dear to me
Blessed's the night
Blessed's the night
Blessed's the night
When none of my fears are as dear to me
None of my fears are as dear to me
Berenice
My hands my feet are worn
As much as yours are
And though my head my hands my heart are forming
They still feel worlds apart
Berenice
Beneath it all you´re golden
And that´s all I´m feeding on
And though my head my hands are growing colder
We move circles now
Berenice there´s no release at all
That´s not worth dying for
Berenice
My hands my feet are worn
As much as yours are
Berenice there´s no release at all
That´s not worth dying for
And it´s not for our desires but our design that we all
fall apart
Berenice there´s no release at all
It´s worthless crying for
And though my ............ ........´cause we all fall
Seven moons for seven seas
Won't let them get the better of me
They'll pass me by
Don't pass me by
My seven fears all fear of me
They'll take their leave eventually
Well they can try
They can try
My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories up
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done
Darling you let me know
Talk down the girl
Talk down the girl
So little knowledge known to me
So little colour left to see
But black and white
Black and white
A silhouette at seventeen
If they can find what's left of me
For the fire
Burn in the fire
My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories up
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done
Talk down the girl
Ttalk down the girl
There's little more for us to say
You've made your mind up anyway
Another world
Another world
I hate to leave you here this way
But i can't think where you should stay
I miss my girl
I miss my girl
My love was strong
For now it's gone
Eleven stories on
From the second floor
A love not warm
Is a love not done
Darling you let me know
Talk down the girl
I woke this morning deep in the earth
Laying bare with the granite and the moths
Up I clambered and I was met by the sun
It was then I saw you there, down on the street
My love
You've come such a long way
With no one to comfort you
Or to tell you you're needed
You and I come from the same place
But if I were to call for you
What's there left to believe in?
So I signaled up to the high and crumbling moon
We've made it then, my love
Closed both my eyes and crawled under the sink
And as I dreamt I swear i felt you in my arms again
You've come such a long way
With no one to comfort you
Or to tell you you're needed
You and I come from the same place
But if I were to call for you
What's there left to believe in?
What's there left to believe in?
What's there left to believe in?
No way, you're looking down
Took my heart and ripped my crown
And i'm fallin' for ya, and i'm fallin' for ya,
And i'm falling for you, ah,
That's enough to believe in.
You've come such a long way
With no one to comfort you
Or to tell you you're needed
You and I come from the same place
But if I were to call for you
What's there left to believe in?
What's there left to believe in?
All the night her dream
passes by my bed
undeniable, and all she said
she wrote the letter
hard to find love
since you arrived here
harder to find the love
then pull your body near
She wrote the letter
down
She wrote the letter
down
I know I know I know
you felt a change in my heart
I know I know I know
the planets ripped you apart
I know I know I know
all the sins they knew no better
I know I know I know
all that I've lost
is bound to pass
dying to know
too afraid to ask
she wrote the letter
Hard to find love
when your a walking blind in here
go wash your heart in the river
till the water runs clear
she wrote the letter
down
she wrote the letter
down
she wrote the letter
down
I know I know I know
you felt a change in my heart
I know I know I know
the planets ripped you apart
I know I know I know
when the sins all know no better
I know I know I know
Love, I just want to say it right
Love, I just want to say it right
Goodbye
Goodbye
I knew you'd starve in heaven
And I'd pray for your release
There's and angel at my table and a devil up my sleave
With nothing on-
Nothing but a smile
I knew your prize was empty
And that they're waiting on your need
Piano-white and wide and empty
I don't even want to know what that means
Why d'you wanna know?
You're still nothing but a child
Will it come back to me
Will it come back to me
If it comes back to me, my love
Will it come back to me for long?
He'll not anwser to your bidding
I just burried him last night
I'm still trying to force another
Needle in the camel's eye
Why d'you wanna know?
You are nothing but a child
Will it come back to me
Will it come back to me
If it came back to me, my love
Will it come back to me for long?
You ought to know you are nothing but a child
And that you can't satisfy my heart of its
So called desire
He stared at the skyline with a look of avarice
he smelled the diesel of a passing train
he fell with both hands still in his pockets
killed by the boom and washed away
Oh no what a tragedy
say what you want about him
I say goddamn
He wasn't no drug dealer momma
he was a dancer
with the dull eyes of a steer and a lions mane
bear me no public opinion it never answers
whatever intuition cannot explain.
Oh no what a tragedy
say what you want about him
I'll say goddamn
No recognition by the state nor senate
no epitaph to sing aloud his sweet name
no fourteen stations and the nineteenth sonnet
he weren't no wealthy man but he was a man all the same
Oh no what a tragedy
say what you want about him
Oh no what a fucking tragedy
say what you want about him
I say goddamn
It weren't the rain that killed him
and it weren't his muddy ears
it weren't the rain that killed him
he was killed by the boom
She has them tombstone teeth
And a stare so warm it could melt the snow
Skin as dark as the river bank
Hair pulled back tight like a violin bow
She loves the sound of rain
Cause she says it makes her feel just like a child
She goes out walking in her sleep
Every night the wind starts blowing wild
Then round and round my bed it goes
She's dancing with the tornado again
She digs the rhythm,
She digs the feel of all that debris frying round
Spinning in a nightmare slumber till she falls back down to the ground
I bought her ... and a knitting needle
I bought her soft white ...
But none of that made any difference,
Well, really how can it compare
Then you want to hear that sound
When my bed is spinning round
You wanna hear that sound
When my bed is spinning round and round
She hits the ground
When though by night she may seem peculiar
When would not know it by the day
She keeps to herself at town meetings with never a bad word to say
So when last month she gave me a totem
Took me by surWrise
There must be something in the water cause she got that same strange look in her eyes
Now round and round my bed it goes
Where she's going we all know
She's dancing with the tornado again
Then you wanna hear that sound
As my bed is spinning round
You wanna hear that sound
As my bed is spinning round and round
She hits the ground
She hits the ground
She hits the ground
Hung by the old field
the night in his eyes
and the road by his side
He's trying to show me
Who's alive in both cities
barely on fire.
Scarecrow
caught in my mind
Scarecrow not made for these times.
Clear as a diamond
the light read plain
on the back of his eyes
He'd never know
He still dreams of a bird
of a terrifying size.
But this Scarecrow
caught in my mind
Scarecrow
not made for these times
Trying to weigh him down
to soon
Glad to have him with me now
Death cold pecked bare
red collar bled white
no black heart there
no bark and no bite
Just this Scarecrow
Caught in my mind
Scarecrow
She found the world embedded in the snow
Too bad the rest have made it all their own
There's got to be a better way somehow that I don't
know
Wish I could find the words and heal my baby
She made a crib of blankets from the floor
Painted the bluest colour on the walls
I don't want to know the time, I don't care about that
at all
Nobody knows the way to heaven, baby
This can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
Will never find the words
Darling, believe me
So here it is - your heart's out in the cold
The friends you kept still call you on the phone
The Vicar said it's wrong, but hey - what does he know?
He said it's wrong that the Lord forgave me
Well, I don't want your pity and your scorn
Boy, why are you preaching?
No one's listening anymore
That life of yours sickens me directly to my maternal
core
No man alive has earned the right to save me
(chorus)
Now here I am - I'm pushing 24
I've got a house and a little terrace on the lawn
My baby's grown
And I'm as happy as a fawn
Everybody thinks it's something real
Right until the devil drinks it
O-li-o
O-li-o
Everything's fate and spinning wheels
Everybody wants their princes
O-li-o
O-li-o
There's no sense in waiting for a swift completion to come
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
The tedious thoughts of the head of state
Is seldom ever worth revealing
O-li-o
O-li-o
Indelible stains on the human race
You idiots, fakes and murderers
O-li-o
O-li-o
There's no sense in waiting for a swift completion never comes
That invitation is all I'm waiting on
Everybody thinks the end is here
How am I to tell the difference
O-li-o
O-li-o
Wish everybody a happy new year
There's varying results predicted
O-li-o
O-li-o
There's no sense in waiting for a swift completion to come
