Closer, move in closer
Closer now than, than ever before
I doubt it that you can survive
So far from your trenches and your friends
This is where competition starts
and all of that ends
I sense a lot of tension
Loose, loose
Pull out your arsenal
Dance
(Chorus)
Step into this room and dance for me
By now we should know the music and the steps
I never asked, I never set you up
A little something for me?
A little something thrown back at me?
This is the floor, these are the rules, these are the moves
This is the room in which we dance
Close the door, say you will dance
Pack your bags, run away
Along the freeway, out of town
Where you'd like and the night is over
It's alright
From despair, between the sheets
Spilling over, spinning round
Waiting still, in the street
Ain't it bitter, ain't it sweet, oh ho
Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
No rushing, don't rush it, my love
Holding on, holding, holding on to you
Bet you lie, on your back
In the backseat of his car
Cattle black, pepper night
Dylan Thomas, pass around
Passing out on the floor
In the bathroom, black light vail
We don't need once again
Sing the song, sing
Drink the wine, love
Oh, well how long did we stay in there
Well I can't believe my eyes
Well how long did I take this
Well I can't hold on no, hold on
Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
I'm ready, I'm ready, my love
Holding, holding on to you
Ain't got no destination
Bit short on apprehension
Real hot and coming up soon

Sad Rock. Zwei Worte, in die man die Musik von Madrugada zwingen kann. Aber auch der
Name und die Herkunft der Band ergeben kombiniert eine gute Beschreibung für die
Musik der Band: Madrugada wird in Spanien die "blue hour" kurz vor dem
Sonnenaufgang genannt, Sivert Høyems (Gesang), Robert Burås (Gitarre), Frode
Jacobsen (Bass) und Jon Lauvland Pettersen (Drums) kommen aus Nordland - einer Stadt
nördlich des Polarkreises, wo man diese Sonne wohl eher selten zu sehen bekommt.
Zusammen genommen würden diese Eindrücke wohl eine melancholische, weiche und
elektrisierende Stimmung erzeugen. Genau das tun die Songs der vier Norweger. Auf
solch eine betörende Art, dass ihre erste auf 750 Stück limitierte EP - nachdem sie
1998 in Norwegen auf Radiorotation ging - innerhalb einer Woche ausverkauft war.
Madrugada weigern sich bis heute, sie noch einmal herauszubringen.1993 hat sich der
Vorläufer der Band "Abbey's Adoption" gegründet, aber erst seit 1995
spielt die Band in der heutigen Besetzung. Sie haben die Arbeit mit der Musik immer
ernst genommen, aber am Anfang wollten sie ihre Zeit einfach nicht mit der Suche
nach einer Plattenfirma vertun. "Wir haben uns ausschließlich auf die Musik
konzentriert." Und dann kam der große Deal: Im Sommer 1998 wurden Madrugada
von Virgin Norway gesignt. Gleich für vier Alben, was in der Schnelllebigkeit der
heutigen Musikindustrie eine äußerste Seltenheit ist.Herausgekommen sind bisher zwei
tieftraurige Platten, die in Norwegen Platinstatus erreicht haben. Aber in der
Tradition norwegischer Melancholie sehen sie sich nicht. "Wir sehen uns selbst
nicht als Teil der norwegischen Musikszene. Wir sind sehr von amerikanischer Musik
beeinflusst." In ihrer Heimat haben Madrugada sich eine große Fan-Basis
erarbeitet, indem sie 150 Gigs in einem Jahr gespielt haben. Die Belohnung folgte
prompt (Platin in Norwegen). Den Rest Europas wollen sie auf die selbe Weise
erobern. Sie halten nichts von großem PR-Getrommel... Es scheint zu klappen, ihr
Konzert in Berlin war ausverkauft. Und die Band verwundert und erfreut.Ehrliche
Menschen, die ehrliche Musik machen. Sie wollen nie große Stadien füllen, sagen
Madrugada. Aber intime Clubs. Und Amerika erobern. Wir wünschen viel
Glück!2001 The Nightly Disease1999 Industrial Silence
Well hearts belongs
Like rock and skin
At peace with evil
And all within
A shadow looms above the river
And fire sweeps across the land
Our bones are twisted in their sockets
And even we must try to stand alone
Right here alone, yeah
Fire in work beneath your skin
Forever let us sleep
'Til sirens tear the night wide open
And even we awake, love
Oh, listen
The world is awake
Oh, it's time for the tellers to rise
And the blood of the angels
Heeeey alone lone lone lone lone
Hear my ban with evil, lone
And alone
Right here alone, yeah
Alone, oh ho oh
Alone, yeah
Lord, throw your mercy down
And burn, burn me to, to the ground
Oh, I'm gonna ride that terraplane to the ground, now
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride it to the ground
To the ground
So you send your mercy down
Oh, Oh I'm gonna fall
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride that terraplane to the ground
To the ground
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride it to the ground
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
How come the stars shine so bright
Here in this night, it will not end
There's a boy and a girl
Who know all the wrong words
And you and I need no more
It's so good to be alone with you
It's so good to be open eyed
They won't know us anymore
Once we step back into
This old house
In this old house
Where every door is open
Well listen real close
This old house
In this old house
We know there's more to this than there
The nation of the two
In this old house
This old house is where we
Consider it gone and the same
Now, there were days when we would fall
Those guiding stars would shine no more
Oh it's all right with me
We just don't talk it over
Stay the rest of this day in this bed
It's so good to be alone with you
It's so good to be open eyed
And they won't know us any more
Once we step back into
Oh, this old house
In this old house
Where every door is open
We'll take it real slow
In this old house
In this old house
We know there's more to this than there
Never leave this old house
Oh, in this old house
We know there's more to this than there
Never leave
This old house
Oh, in this old house, this old
We know there's more to this than there
We'll never leave

Holding, holding on to you again

I'm ready, I'm ready, my love
The night is on and on
Your head roll away
I catch it when it falls
And keep it beneath my heart
So what have we become
More than a skin and bone
Oh, what could beat this love
It's so parallel
This is when we awake
This is where we don't ache
I see the sun burn it's never quite as close
As the only one and I
I can hardly wait
Again this sweet, sweet song
Oh, give me what you take
And give me all that sleazy ..
Give me what never ends
So what have we become
More than a skin and bones
And when do we come down
I don't care anymore
This is when we awake
This is where we don't ache
I see the sun burn it's never quite as close
As the only one and I, I can hardly wait
I see the sun burn it's never quite as close
Let me tell you about the way the hammer moves
The hammer goes up and down
And hits the nail, on the head each time
That's the point
All right in 1998
It's getting hard to go to sleep at night
And hard to get up in the morning
I tell myself, I'm going too hard, too rash, too long, too long
But this is not the truth
There's no sign of no big break down
It's just these little things that keep putting me of the track
Yeah, I have a notion of moving around in circles
Things just keep getting worse and worse
'Til they get all the way around
And then eveything turns out alright
In one single flash I see both shows
Computer, cigarettes, photograph, pens and pencils
Pop-craving critics curving
A doctor tried to cure me of these shells
I stopped seeing him
I heard nothing more about being mentally ill
In one single flash comes words, no poetry
Did you put on weight
I take two, not one
A man with one arm
Best beer ever to come out of Belgium
If you kept drinking like this it wouldn't have to be
It's not like I'm real hateful with our friends, our beloved friends
VCR, last goodbyes, this is not the time for all I love you's
This nail is bent and broken, straighten it out with the hands of love
This is where the hammer hits, this is its golden tongue
There speaks no more, this is the same that were never moved
This is the tsar at will, this is where the hammer hit, this is when the turnpike
This nail is bent and broken, straighten it out with the hands of love
With the hands of love, with the hands of love
With the hands of love yeah, with the hands of love yeah
With the hands of love yeah, with the hands of love
With the hands of love, with the hands of love yeah
With the hands of love, with the hands of love yeah
With the hands of love yeah, uuh shalalala with the hands of love yeah
Yeah yeah.. Yeah yeah.. Yeah yeah
Let me tell you about the way the hammer moves
The hammer goes up and down
And hits the nail, on the head each time
That's the point, yeah
This mechanism can succesfully be adapted to almost everything
Things like a personel room, man enters the room feels like someone just left
Pain, loss, mother to silence, guitars and tambourines
Let me tell you about the way the hammer moves
The hammer goes up and down
And hits the nail, on the head each time
That's the point
I tell myself I'm going too hard, too rash, too long
Too long
Yeah, I tell myself I'm going too hard, too rash, too long, too long
But this is not the truth
There's no sign of no big break down
It's just these little things that keep putting me of the track
Yeah, I have a notion of moving around in circles
Things just keep getting worse and worse
'Til they get all the way around
And then eveything turns out alright
In one single flash I see both shows
Computer, cigarettes, photograph, pens and pencils
Higher, there's no need to come down
Arising through the other ground
These people, these people don't mean a thing
But don't you think it's funny
That now they get to hear me sing
All right
We'll try this
We'll try this and see if it works
I want you just like that
Just like I
Always had you
Well, if it doesn't work
Then what we need is another try
When I'm like this
It strikes me: I'm the only one that knows you
So long, when will these hands be free
Throw life into these spinning heads
Oh, higher
There's no need to come down
Arising through the other ground
This song, this song is the same as always
Anyway I wanna shape it
Such a diamond, such a holiday
So long, when will these hands be free
Throw life into these spinning heads
Go honey, be a holiday
Go honey, be a holiday
Go honey, be a holiday
In a wake of some change
Stones in the pipeline
Like some new mountain range
We leave the lowlands behind
(Chorus)
They take your photograph
You come into existence
You realize it's your path
In this very instant
Some heroes are we
To pass outside these gates
With a will to adjust
Adjust to what it takes
You add another year to this
And it all has gone to waste
Other plans have been made
To pursue your own separate fates
(Chorus)
The kids are on High Street
The kids will not sleep tonight
The kids got in a knife fight
We trained them well
They're gonna be alright
I'll be joining with them soon
I can't even wait to get away from you
'Cause it's only in hindsight
That we will know what was right to do
I always thought we had it made
Ambition spurred the plans we laid
Informal surprise
Inforvivious
A dusty green disease
Distract and shuffling our feet
Try got to fit in where we need
Start falling in love with these things
Don't wanna know you, already know you
Already know your needs
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, yeah
No, I never get tired
Of killing time
I want a good ride
I'm go for the old ride
Come on!
Try to make it real, try something I can feel
I try to make it real, try something I can feel
Don't wanna know you, already know you
Already know your needs
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride
No, I never get tired
Of killing time
I want a good ride
I want a good ride, yeah
Come on!
Oh, listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen, yeah
No, I never get tired
Of killing time
I want a good ride
I'm go for the old ride
Come on!
A dusty green disease
Distract and shuffling our feet
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen
Oh, Listen
Did I talk in my sleep, no
Hey, did I wake to find you cry, by my side
We'll never said that it would be easy
Just that the way love grows, we have to go to.
Oh well, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine
Oh now, hold your hand on running water
and now, wipe the black out of the blonde
Well now your head falls down on me
And your beauty is as pure as tears.
Oh well, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine.
Oh, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep
I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well alright
Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know it won't come on, come on
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Oh Lord
When your heart beats within mine
Oh mine
Am I in any way divine?
Or still twisted and unkind?
And low down
In the misty gorges of time
Well oh Lord
When your heart beats within mine
No I never ever want this thing to pass
One should never fall in love with things that last
Last only for a day
And they'll stay with you for another day
Well oh Lord
When your heart beats within mine
Oh mine
Am I in any way divine?
Or still twisted and unkind?
Oh no I never ever want this thing to pass
One should never fall in love with things that last
Last only for a day
And they'll stay with you for another day
Well I can hear your heart beat
As we are lifted off the ground
It's all around
Oh no I never ever want this thing to pass
One should never fall in love with things that last
Last only for a day
And they'll stay with you for another day
No no I never ever want this thing to pass
One should never fall in love with things that last
Last only for a day
You better run, you better run
You better not wait too long
You better run, you better run
You better run for you have a heart
So let's start, so let's start
So let's start, tear it all apart
You better run, you better run
You better run for you have a heart
Well, oh, well, oh, you know it's only so much I can take
I buried my head in that pillow for a million days
So, oh, oh well, I'm sorry but I do not care to wait
Dare not walk through the light
Dare not walk through the light
Your vision's travelled far today
So why don't you run away
Your vision's travelled far today
Like in the times when you say
I have a cry, I have a cry, and I will not be contained
I have a cry, I have a cry, and I will not be contained, no
Oh well, oh you know it is only so much I can take
Buried my head in that pillow a million days oh, oh
Oh well, I'm sorry but I do not care to wait
Oh, dare not walk through the light
Dare not walk through the light, oh
Oh, dare not walk through the light
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods
One more time
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods, uuuuh
Oooooh!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Shaaaah! Oooooh!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
One more shot
One more shot
One more shot
And I'll be gone
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home out in the woods
Yeah
Oh yeah
I had a dog
I had a dog
I had a dog
Now he is gone
We put in the ground
Blankets wrapped around his angry sleep
Leaving cancer there to burn and
Ache in a barren land, ah
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
The dog in his grave
Oh, come on!
Oh, whoooh!
Stop!
Whooh!
Oh yeah
I had a dog
I had a dog
I had a dog
Now he is gone
Gone, gone, gone!
Oh, it makes me wanna sing
Hard to bring out some things with a deadend mind
Oh, don't you know there is no credential
Oh, not at all essential
Hard to bring out small things with a deadend mind
Oh, you didn't feel the sea or invent the moon
How did it all occur so soon
So I finally fall behind
With a deadend mind
I wasted all this time
With a deadend mind
A deadend mind
A deadend mind
Hard to come up with some things with a deadend mind
Oh, don't you know it is no credential
Oh, not at all essential
These small things
Like your sealed body and your sealed face
Oh, not at all essential
Oh, not at all essential, so
So I finally fall behind
Fall behind with a deadend mind
Oh, I wasted all this time
With a deadend mind
A deadend mind
So am I
Good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried
On the phone
Oh but in my mind
You were never that all alone
Oh you were majesty
Your roads were heavy
And your longing was cutting through bone
So am I
Am I good or bad
Could only awake your anger
I could only make you mad
Now was that how you showed me
That you were still so young and bold
Anyway those fights did drive me
And I was dying of thirst and I wasn't growin' old
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your roads were very cold
Oh, oh, oh majesty
But in my mind
I could still climb inside your bed
And I could be victorious
Still the only man to pass to the glorious arch of your head, o-oh
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your cheeks were very red
Oh you were majesty
And it's like I said
That spirit, is now dead
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter love song
This cruel testamented song
That rings out only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
Oh, leaving another song behind
A steam is rising and we are rolling on
Oh, and there's a bottle of wine
Let's drink a toast to the new world arising
Oh, while the hands on the ??? keep turning
Keep turning, we are never going home
The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
The weight of time inside the oceanliner, we go down
Yeah, and it's about time you and I we,
Oh it's old times you see her sinking
Oh it's coming out loud and our hands keep on turning
Keep turning 'round
Oh forest pine, a bitter taste of defeat
Of blood and iron, must away from this heat
Oh and now a cannibal flying, no mercy, for us down here
Oh for the past and the present
Once and for all, we wage war
On the 20th century rising
The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
We're parting, ahhh, by the oceanliner, we go down
And it's about time you and I we
Oh it's old times you see her sinking
Oh it's coming out loud
Them hands just keep on turning
Yeah, oh, keep turning 'round
Oh dangling on an old general's chest, there's an old silver head
Oh the spirit of a generation sent to rest with the nations best
Uhh all asleep, and grab a hammer and sickle, my brother
Oh and leave it for the captain to ponder over
Ain't got no destination
Bit short on apprehension
Real hot and coming up soon
New better news presentation
Face down in raw, red meat
Skinny girl watching the ugly
Thank god for the little girls
Give us the blonde with the curls, yeah
What you got is what gets me every time
The way you piss on everything real
Show me one that you think is so virtuous and clean
And I'll show you what I mean
No boots and no direction
No horse and no depression
No boring conversation
No need for no consolation
No need to be aroused
Yeah, lipstick, leather and chrome
Press button and insert coin
Quick Elvis imitation
Slip both then constellation, constellation
What you got is what gets me every time
The way you piss on everything real
Oh, show me one that you think is so virtuous and clean
Hey!!and in my lonely hour weekend
I feel the stars stuff the hook
I swear that all these thing I might be guilty of
just came to happen on the road I took
I don't know why I jumped this turn
and what made me love her right from the moment we were born
and all the stars they were falling right from the night I had this call
yeah, rightand I know only where it startedon a cold and lonely highway
well my arms were reaching into the land beyonda saw the stars out in the night
and a million winding roads and heavy horses up there moving on the wind and
and all the time that they were pull pull right boy
I enjoy the sickness of my heart
and I took up a trail that ran along a frozen highway
my head was numb and I was starved but right from the start I have this call yeah
oh I don't know why I took this turn
now I know that I must burn but I ain't sorry for the road I took off
the holy books are open wide and I'll be forgiven there's something in there
that keeps on pulling me apart right now I stand beneath the sky
with a second guiding eyemy hands forever stained with blood and
I couldn't feel my body moving and from inside I felt this pull oh this pull
yeah
You are born into this world
Looking down the barrel of a gun
And those who hold the gun
Want you to work fast and die young
And if you dont' work
If you don't obey
They'll make you live in fear till your dying day
Those who govern hold the gun to your head
With religions, corporations proud of the blood
They have shed
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name
And the corporate snakes coming in to feed
On that pathetic fact known as human greed
Skin and bone being raked over those hot coals
This dump never seems to give time to human soul
And if all those things that we have learnt
No time for questions you'll just get burnt
(Listen) You'll just get burnt
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name
And those words crush you flat
Like your skulls under a brick
And the fear's so damn strong
That it makes you sick
And you can see right through those eyes
That make you fear, that make you lie
And you're taught to hold high
Yet you wonder why
Dumb values forced upon you by the
Living lie
Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
Let's walk on by, this time, this time
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
It's such a long and wasted ride
When you're on your own, when you're all alone
I throw a word in for the real men
Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe
Now, do you believe in me?
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it
(Chorus)
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
And don't you ever walk away from me
I'm gonna need you round for the rebound
I search myself for sheets of paper
Some little stain, some little stain
And this is all conclusive evidence
Everybody rise, I rest my case
(Chorus)
Right now, right now
I find it hard being strong these days
I find it very hard, hard
And even harder in the night-time
When all these clouds come down
I find I'm very, very, hard to define
I could not be electric animal's, front-man
All distorted, all noise
And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
No life, no life without a fall
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And the love, the love we pray to keep
Has buried us so deep
And me singing this same sad song
How I fell into her arms
Her warm and loving arms
She said: You can never be free
You can never be like me
Now I'm a mad dog and I'll be
Now you honey on my tree
Whether sweet tomorrow
In the mellow wallow
Oh there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow, yeah
We will never have it all
Tonight I'm screaming at the wall
Peel the paint of my window rail
Touch, material has no choice
Peel the paint off with my voice
Curse this city's deplex song
Now I'm sleeping on the floor
Honey I'm soaking wet and
Oh they're coming out, they're coming out, they're coming for me
As long as we are free
We'll be doomed to live and die
Under the great suburban sky
And I'll always holler
In the mellow wallow
Oh there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Jesus
Heaven, heaven head of hell
You are treating me quite well
Washed me up upon a shore
Now I'm scratching down your door
All the words become my hands
Cold and broken on the floor
Peeling gooseflesh off your back
Pulling back your long black hair
Now this beauty is my queen
Skinny arms so very slow
A perfume neck and a blanket so small
Oh, what beauty, oh what bridge
I will sleep tomorrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, and I fall to be controlled
Lost and swept away
I will always wait it out
Won't you listen now
Let me sleep tomorrow inn
We'll never have it all
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And see, the rhythm is your hand
Speed the rhythm, speed the band
We're slow raised by the break of day
You are now entirely mine again
Still I hold you in my arms
There is not much to talk about anyway
Quite emotional now
Drive by noise and straight to the bone, for you
Quite emotional now, not making sense
So I come here in your arms
You keep on whispering that you won't stop
I take it back, babe
Everything that I have said
And I hold you in my arms
There's no better place for you anyway
Quite emotional now
Drifting miles apart, of reasons away
Quite emotional now, not making sense
Quite emotional now, not making sense
Quite emotional now, not making sense
So I came in your arms, your hair
Quite emotional now
Bridge:
Majesty
So am I
Good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried
On the phone
Oh but in my mind
You were never that all alone
Oh you were majesty
Your roads were heavy
And your longing was cutting through bone
So am I
Am I good or bad
Could only awake your anger
I could only make you mad
Now was that how you showed me
That you were still so young and bold
Anyway those fights did drive me
And I was dying of thirst and I wasn't growin' old
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your roads were very cold
Oh, oh, oh majesty
But in my mind
I could still climb inside your bed
And I could be victorious
Still the only man to pass to the glorious arch of your head, o-oh
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your cheeks were very red
Oh you were majesty
And it's like I said
That spirit, is now dead
lift me lift me from the ground
and dont ever put me down oh no
and dont pick a fight with me
just flip a coin my love youve won
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
I dont care if you dont want me
Im yours Im yours right now
our years are years well spent
we may never find out where they went oh no
and I dont mean to fight with you
now all our troubles and all our struggles they are through
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
I dont care if you dont want me
Im yours Im yours right now
the wolf and the fox
theyre sleeping soundly with the elk and the ox
theres a starry field around
this lowlit kingdom
where all our defences are down
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love slips her hand inside my hand
I dont care if you dont want me
Im yours Im yours right now
Wrecked, poor, naked and blind
When you wake up in the morning
I'm still sleeping by your side
Last night's sweetness drifts from your fingers
Sweetness lingers and we must hide.
All the loving and the longing
We're still hungry, yes, and we're running
And in the valley of deception
That's where I've gone
Yes in the valley of deception
That's where I lied down.
In the arms of sweet deception
I will rest my stupid head
Off tide arrested
Yes and you can trust me
And I trust anything
That I have said
Do you love me let me hear it
Do you want me I need the feeling
'Cause in the valley of deception
That's where I've gone.
Yes in the valley of deception
That's where I've gone,
Where I've gone
Yes in the valley of deception
That's where I lied down (2x)
Where I lied down
In the valley of deception.
Yes in the valley of deception
Lord, throw your mercy down
And burn, burn me to, to the ground
Oh, I'm gonna ride that terraplane to the ground, now
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride it to the ground
To the ground
So you send your mercy down
Oh, Oh I'm gonna fall
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride that terraplane to the ground
To the ground
I'm gonna ride that terraplane
I'm gonna ride it to the ground
I'm gonna ride that terraplane

I can't come back no more
Oh my dark eyed-friend

Oh my dark eyed friend
I will call you agian

We could steal away
But it's not
Like we're really going somewhere
Yeah, we could steal away
But it's not going to happen
Yeah, we could steal away
We could leave today
We could run away
So why don't you leave through the door
You've felt this way before
You've felt this way
Hey hey hey hey hey
I got this
Blood shot adult commitment
I get my kicks when I get old
Blood shot adult commitment
For now I do as I've been told
Blood shot adult commitment
Old enough to pay
Young enough to kick around
To kick around
Blood shot adult commitment
Piss my guts into a hole in the ground
Blood shot adult commitment
Bless no hand, not untill you beg
Please, please [beg?]
Blood shot adult commitment
Piss running down the inside of your leg
Now you know I'm far from satisified
Blood shot adult commitment
Goggle-eyed man says
"I think you should have this"
You say: "I don't need this!"
"No, I don't need this!"
Blood shot adult commitment
Slips you a note
You say: "I can't read this!"
"I can't read this!"
Blood shot adult commitment
Now you know I'm far from satisified
Some day, some day, so long
Yeah, we could steal away
We could leave today
Oh, we could steal away
Yeah, we could steal away
We could leave today
Oh, we could run away
I got this
Blood shot adult commitment x4
You know I'm far from satisified x4
Blood shot adult commitment
Blood shot x3
We could leave
Come along
You know [what to do?]
"Honey bee come buzzing me
I ain't seen you for so long
I need to feel you
I mean to reel you
Like the one described to me in a song...
Out in the woods
tall pine tree woods
she gave sweet loving to me...
Her woodland grace
her soft embrace,
my face in shadow ~ Honey bee...
Won't you come see me in the morning?
Won't you come see me late at night?
For it ain't right, no, it just ain't it right
you're meant to turn away from the light...
Night all my lights are on
I need a little one on one,
this useless, helpless feeling-
A young man should be blessed with love
there's just flesh and fire below...
This drunken, senseless reeling...
Hands on my face
some silk and lace
...Sweet perfume kisses for me...
Wherever you burn
I have returned-you lucky lady-honey bee...
I have to leave you in the morning
you always wanted to be free...
...Stay with me,
sweet lucky lady...
Don't ever leave me... Honey bee.
Awake in cold places
cool ice and icy faces
Some dead and some living
Most of them doing something in between...
My lady in waiting
must have turn to hating me
Some bitter awakening this has been,
but, the next time she calls I'm gonna let her in...(x2)
...And if she leaves me in the morning
at least we both have been relieved...
...Now, stay with me...
stay with me, sweet lucky lady...
One more early morning One more late afternoon Once more you're out in the wind And once more you come in too soon
It's a long road, oh man And it's a hard road You wanna make sure to make all the friends that you can make You ain't worth much more to them Than the worth of what you give And the worth of what you take
In this old ritual of compassion Well, you just fail and fall behind Now you're running Seems to be running You're running out of time
You know it ain't love No, you know it ain't love Unless it's eating you alive When you're in your bed at night
No, you know it ain't love You know there can't be no love Unless it comes howlin' out of you Then you know the time is right
Ah you wait so long And now you don't know Now you don't know what to do Except to pray for your love To come returning on back to you
You dry out with all of this bitterness and fear And with every passing year Nothing's really real to you Except this pain that you feel
You will come to realize That you had your day Someday oh so long ago When somebody came a-calling at your door And you pretend that you were not home
We're on a roll
We crack and roll in the bar rooms
It's a glorious calling
If you've got nothing much to lose
And you can take it further still
That's all you really want to
Now you will, you will
So what you waiting for?
There's nothing waiting for you here no more
(Chorus)
If you go
It will be hard to come back
If you go
It will be hard
Hard to come back
It's hard to come back
It's hard to come back, you know
It's hard to come back
Again
(Escudo
Escudo requisar)
This ain't your house
This ain't your name on the front door
She ain't your true love
You ain't the one you were before
And it will never be enough for you
To go about doing what you used to do
You gonna need something more
You best be headed for the door
(Chorus)
It will be hard to come back
it will be hard you know
Subterranean sunlight
Sunken subterranean eyes
It was another chance for me to do right
And another one of those chances just passed me by
Won't even try to make it to your house
These people they ain't ever gonna lock me out
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
Well now you're on your own
Evil eyes on me
They play their evil games all night
And it has gone on for a century
I'm beginning to think I'm wrong and that they are right
They're invisible to so much they try to hide
They only show when they flash their ugly sight
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
Well now you're on your own
Subterranean nightmare
Sunken subterranean eyes
I ain't going anywhere
Won't even try to make it to your house
None of them ain't ever gonna lock me out
None of them ain't ever gonna let me go
I was a fool to think I could come here alone
I just had to go all night long
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
I'm gonna lay me down
In some dark and secluded town
Burn into the eversetting sun
Sister

Sing this song so the world can meet
COMING TO THE END OF THE LINE
ON THE ROAD OF INDECISION
HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE WAITING HERE
A HAVEN AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
YOU'RE HOPING IT WILL BE SOMEBODY NEW
AND PROUD AND FIERCE LIKE THUNDER
LEANING IN AGAINST YOU UNDER COVER OF NIGHT
PRISONERS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT
SECOND GUESSING EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE
NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ALONG
YOU WISH YOU HAD A CORNER TO BE FIGHTING FROM
NOW ALL PURE INTENTIONS ARE GONE
(CHORUS)
WHAT YOU THINK, WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS REAL
WHAT IS TRUE IN YOUR HEART, WHAT YOU FEEL
ALL THIS WANTING TO BE FREE ...
EVERYTHING IS BEYOND YOUR COMMAND
THERE'S ONLY LIGHT BETWEEN US
A SICKENING CLARITY OF FROZEN STEEL
IS PRESENT IN EVERYTHING REAL
A LIFELESS EXPLOSION IN YOUR PAST
TO FALL ASLEEP AT LAST
A PAGAN SEAL LAIN ACROSS YOUR CHEST
IS HOW THEY EXPECT YOU TO REST
(CHORUS)
WHAT YOU THINK, WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS REAL
WHAT IS TRUE IN YOUR HEART, WHAT YOU FEEL
DESPERATION SONGS
LIBERATION DONE WRONG
ALL THIS WANTING TO BE FREE ...
COMING TO THE END OF THE LINE
ON THE ROAD OF INDECISION
HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE WAITING HERE
A HAVEN AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
AIN'T SECOND GUESSING ANYTHING YOU'VE DONE
NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ALONG
THEY'LL NAME YOU AND CLAIM YOU
AND THEY'LL MAKE YOU THEIR OWN
There is a hole in the night that the city keeps travelling round
There is a hole in the roof where the ego comes down
There is a hole in the closet where the coats go to fly
There is a hole in the closet where noisy cats go to die
I step away from the window
I am struck by a nightly disease
Something has been coming
For a long time it's been crawling
Out of pitch-black and expanding seas
It's clearly headed in my direction
I am strong but I need protection
(Chorus)
There is a hole in my heart tonight
Ah there were times when I had just one eye
It took a field to fly and a bird to cry
Or just a bad foot and a bad-fingered hand
Just a bad foot and a bad-fingered hand
That sort of memory is no match for my poisonous pen
Big, bad, boy approaches the mirror
With a dead black bird in his bad-fingered hand
Hand extended in my direction
I am strong but I need protection
(Chorus)
You were at my door
I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all
I had been in all night just staring at the wall
I didn't really want to see you anymore
Coming from the road
You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
You said "I can't believe you wanna hurt me so"
I said "I'm not supposed to be like this, you know"
Well, I just had to let you go
(Chorus)
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?
You were in that dream that I was dreaming
I was dreaming in a dream
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream
I wanted love to come and swallow everything
Everything gets real
Sooner or later, doesn't matter how you feel
You slammed that door shut on the night of glass and steel
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe
Well, I just had to let you go
(Chorus)
Why do you always stay
Miles away
And two steps behind
Where the past is still living
Beautiful and forgiven
Do you not see
That you live in a dream
Photographic images
Your faded smile
The air
What's to it?
I try to shake it off all evening
I try to pass just out of reach
To reach conclusions that can't be concluded
A hotline to the past, that's all it is
I was anxious
I was sure you'd come to see the show
And what's more
I was hoping you would appreciate it
It's electrified at first, yes
But then it drops
It's a box of many flavours
But we are not enough, is that not so?
Not sure, just wont have it
(Chorus)
Get your mind off what you leave behind
You know you may as well be going blind lately
It's hard to say, you know
Well, you've been led astray
This simply will not do
And it's true it hurts me too
Well I guess it's not so long ago
I turned to speak and there was no-one
Nothing, just a street car rolling by
Now, nothing in here really moves
I just produce a bunch of silly lies
And all those brightly colored lights
Ah but I have loved you in my way
I have loved you
Too much too fast
And then a little
A little too late
(Chorus)
You've been led astray
For what reason I can't say
I won't stand in your way again
It's been another ...
As such is that ... and I reach through your window
Wake you in the morning
I was waiting
I was sure you'd get whatever you were waiting for
But I can't stand it anymore
(Chorus)
All I see is my newfound friend
And all the things she grants me
Freedom is not among those things
And freedom is by no means free
Well, this is where it all begins
Begins to stretch and part
If we were to be changing things
I wouldn't know where to start
I just want to sail away
From it all
Freedom is impossible
This I know
I can't find it in no bedroom
Or wherever it is I run and hide
And I never did find it
By anyone's side
Well this is where it all begins
The night pulled tight around me
Now that I have found this big love
I'm sometimes dwarfed in its company
I become aware of all the air that I displace
I was just the smallest of nations
The next day I go on lightly
And limitless within my limitations
I just want to sail away
From it all
Freedom is impossible
This I know
I can't find it in no bedroom
Or wherever it is I run and hide
No, I never did find it
By anyone's side
I just want to sail away
From it all
Freedom is impossible
This I
This I know
I can't find it in no bedroom
Or wherever it is I run and hide
And I never did find it
By anyone's side
(Alright)
Sliding up slowly, now moving in for the kick down
Well, you kicked me around, but you never really got to my bone
Caught you alone, but you'll never stand where I stand
It's not like every green of sand is a piece of your stone
Oh, push up kid, push up
This is gonna be hard on you, none the less it's true
This has nothing to do with you
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Oh yeah, oh
Yeah
Yeah
Sliding up slowly, now moving in for the kick down
Now criticize what you clearly do not understand
God, you're alone, but you clearly will never win
Well the people should step down and into the hole that you're in
We stand
Push over this
Push up
This is gonna be hard on you, none the less it's true
This has nothing to do with you
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready
Now I'm ready to go anywhere
Oh, yeah, oh
Don't know when they put me in the ground
I don't know if I was left alone
All thet matters that I follow you
On my way to the unknown bound.
It's cold baby but I'm not afraid
I feel lost my life swept away
I've been worried but I promised you
it's so tense when you're in the life
Only time that you walked away
It was me, I'm always here and im gona stay
Lovin' you can not be bad
My blod is boiling and you make my mad
I was flying but it was very low
You let your lovin' coming down
And all I thought it was just another dome
Couldn't be rigth what I found
A montain top, it's the need of time
Im out of my mind so lets make this night
On my own every thing is wrong
Holding on now, I'm holding on.
You just have to call it out.
You know your love until your love is gone
And you know that it, that it's that strong
Only time that you let me down
You just wouldn't let my in
It's only time when it all went bad
I don't wanna fight whith you
Don't you know why I do
I will never ever let you go
I will stay with you till I die
If my blood runs cold I don't wanna know
I'm gona cry all night long
I wear your heart until my heart is torn
Then I make up, make up my mind.
When all is gone we just stop below
Where we go when we just gotta blow
Everything that we got in here
Don't wanna see you walking down the stairs
Caus I need you and you know you need me
It's all that love that you let down on me
Hold me tight and I love you rigth.
I love you, I'll be there, baby, baby mine
Honey, our time won't live that long
You know our time won't live that long
Will you come for me
In the morning
When all is well
Oh we shared the bad times
Do you not think we should share the good times
As well
We cut off a piece of the sky and call that heaven
And the barren land beneath it
We will call that hell
How could it be that defenitions
Are'nt always so clear
So won't you walk right over here
And let me just slightly kiss you ear
Cause hell does not become you
And heaven only slightly passes trhough me
So will you come for me
Tomorrow or any day
When all is new
Or do you still see the days
Walk in giant circles
Around you
And in this very room
Where we stay up late and talk
You say that medication
Can make you stand and walk
All this talk of medication
Honey i'm getting ready
Did you get this far Did you get this far, just to hurt me Did you get this far, to realize that you don't, you don't deserve me I know you, in to this and out of that in seven seconds flat Need you to move me Need not point it out Need no sayin' exactly that
Exactly where was the line It can't be that far behind I don't remember we've been stepping over it
If I sold out to the underway Than it's really hard to say And anyway I got nothing to show for it
I know you In to this and out of that in seven seconds flat Whatever you do You take it to the to point where it's me Not you, and you really did not attack
Whatever you do, you've got to cut it out quick If this is some kind of trick I've got no way to see you trough it, no
Yeah whatever you do, you've got to cut it out quick If this is some kind of trick, I've got no way to see you through it
I know you In to this and out of that in seven seconds flat Ah got on the road Need not spell it out Need not saying exactly that
