Yerida (Hebrew: ירידה Translit.: yerida Translated: descent) is a Hebrew term referring to emigration by Israeli Jews from the State of Israel. Yerida is the opposite of Aliyah (lit. "ascent"), which is immigration to Israel. Zionists are generally critical of the act of yerida and the term is somewhat derogatory.
Common reasons for emigration are economic constraints, criticism of the government, lack of security due to ongoing Palestinian political violence and the Arab–Israeli conflict, perceived religious coercion and academic or professional advancement.
Emigrants from Israel are known as yordim ("those who go down [from Israel]"). Immigrants to Israel are known as olim ("those who go up [to Israel]"). The use of the Hebrew word "Yored" (which means "descending") is a modern renewal of a term taken from the Torah: "אנכי ארד עמך מצרימה ואנכי אעלך גם עלו", and from the Mishnah: "הכל מעלין לארץ ישראל ואין הכל מוציאין", and from the Talmud "ארץ ישראל גבוה מכל הארצות" (The Land of Israel is higher than all the countries).
Baby , no matter what love's got
to offer
I throw myself down
I'mat your feet
I taste your lips
Of soft deceit
As my retreat
Baby no matter what they say
about us
I long to go down your river wild
You're God's only child you see
The death of me
The body of you
Broken and still
I'll never know
How good it feels to finally forget you
And all that you are
I'll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what love's got
to offer

Of soft deceit
As my retreat
The body of you
Broken and still

How good it feels to finally forget
And akll that you are
I'll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what they say

I know that it's lost and almost gone

the birds no longer sing in their praise of your perfect offering
and why you're just a day away from me
and i am here

and i am here
oh why
she broke my fall
i wonder how come
your lips are ruby red

and it comes to me as no surprise
and why you're just a day away from me

I hear voices, can’t be sane
Messing with my head again
From the corners of my mind
Telling me to go and find
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
Yeah we’ll have to take it slow
I hear voices telling me
I’m not where I long to be
I want to know
Tell me I need to know
Will you hold me, can you heal
Will you mend the pain I feel
Can you slip me something true
Anything to hold on to
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
As it tells you where to go
I hear voices telling me
I’m not where I long to be
I want to know
Tell me now
This heavy heart hangs low
It’s all you need to know oh
A friend to the heart
Be it all you can find
Tell me now
Does it show
I need to know
I hear voices blue as rain
Messing with my head again
I hear voices, it must be true
All the things they say about you
And I still can’t get my head around you
And I still can’t get my head around you
And I still can’t get my head around you
And I, I still can’t get my head around you
I still can’t get my head around you
Broken
By the hour
Hope you're with me
On this one
I'm dancing
First time that i saw you
I remember
Was in a low lit room
You shift, you slide, you run, you hide
You can't escape your faith tonight
It's happening, it's happening, what you want
And you suffer from it
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm, I'm a broken dancer
On my feet tonight
OOOOOOOOOOh
Tell me
??? no one, why are you, as cold as night
Tell me
Are you lonely
Do you miss me
Like you know you should?
You shift, you slide, you run, you hide
You can't escape your faith tonight
It's happening, it's happening, what you want
And you suffer from it
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm, I'm a broken dancer
On my feet tonight
OOOOOOOOOOOh
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm a broken dancer
On my feet tonight
OOOOOOOOOOh
are so easely
devided by what
we want
OOOH
are so easely
devided by what
we want
Ooooh Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm a broken dancer
On my feet tonight
Ooooh Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm a broken dancer
On my feet tonight
Broken
By the hour
It’s too late tonight
To save all of you
I’ve got to hold on
Make myself like you
You went on the velvet way
And every dying day
You’ve got your own love to shake
Into your mind again
Babe I want to know
Every breath that you save
And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn
It’s too late tonight
To go racing back for
It won’t work anyhow
The way you loved him so
Go on your wicked dance
But every fight you’re in
You’re gonna end all alone
Shedding your blood again
Baby I want to know
Every breath that you save
And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn
And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn
Every time it comes around
It picks you up and throws you down
All I know is I am bound to fall
Over with you
Love, you must be thinking of love
Love, you must be thinking of love
Got to keep moving
Lover you hide from me every time
Love, oh love, oh love, oh love
Yeah you must be thinking of love
You must be hiding out
And It’s too late tonight
To go running back for
It’s too late tonight
Don’t break every red rose
It’s too late tonight
Hold your head up
All of my life
I've always felt
All of my life
as if I was blessed
I don't really wanna hold you now
Wasn't love supposed to show me how?
Oh it's feeling kind of lonely now
In the wintertime
All of my life
I've been foretold
All of my life
This secret I hold
I don't really wanna hold you now
Wasn't love supposed to show me how?
Oh it's getting kinda lonely now
In the wintertime
Baby I know
It's all make-believe
And they're all trying to make
you see
Baby you'll fall into my arms
And I will be holding you for charm
You will be loved sent from above
I don't really know if we're going
To make it love
And I've got to be all that yu'll be
In the wintertime
Won't you be the one?
Out on the scene today
Blasted in every way
Got you
Caught on the other side
Some things you just can’t hide
Feel the poison of change in me
All that I’ll ever be
Comes back
Crushing on into me
Here it comes again
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
With every step it takes
Something inside me breaks
Hang myself by a rope of words
Whether or not it hurts
Got to
Save you from all of your
Demons that had to score
Every trick that you’ve pulled before
Here it comes again
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
We’re heading for a fall
Set your mind at ease
Won’t you save us from
These little things?
One of my feelings took a ride today
Into a black box and it came out grey
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
Has it spotted you
Oh no
We’re heading for a fall
Set your mind at ease
Won’t you save us from
( Live Werchter 99 )

Hold still
Don’t move I say
Wilt thou hear
My elegy
Head high
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows
I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do
I pledge to you
That I won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
As here I sit
I vow
Your history does not
Perish my love
The shame
Will be mine for a
Scarlet woman thou art
I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do
I pledge to you
That I won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
Dead from the grave
We’re all slaves
To what we’ve got
Love
Is been through
The door
If I could be someone
Within an hour or a day
If I could turn the wheel of fortune
Could you guess what I would say
If I could be a believer
If I could be whatever
You’d want me to be
A believer, a believer, a believer
Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone just trying
To wipe them tears away
Yeah, someone burning fires
On the edge of every town
Yeah, someone just rolling
In your love as it comes down
And if I could see things different
If I could turn the clock of time
If I could re-arrange the play love
I would never leave you behind
If I could be a believer
If I could be
Whoever you’d want me to be
A believer, a believer, a believer,
Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone just trying
To wipe them tears away
Yeah, someone burning fires
On the edge of every town
Yeah, someone just rolling
In your love as it comes down
Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone bitter morning
Come and play your solid blues
A believer
A believer, believer, believer, believer
Then I might stop
Then I might stop playing pretend
And if I could show you
My heaven I’d wear my thorny crown
I walk the stairs of seven
At the count of three
Who do you love, what will it be.
Tell me, at the count of four
Who do you trust, wolf at the door.
All I want is something brighter
All I want is something good
All I need is this desire
You loved me anyway you could
At the count of three
Open your eyes, what do you see?
Tell me at the count of four
Who do you trust, wolf at the door?
All I want is something brighter
All I need is something true
All I want is this desire
To turn me out and on to you
All I want is something brighter
All I want is something good
All I need is this desire
To turn me out and on to you
Driven by the force of the wheel
I'm getting so loud I don't know what I should feel
You can never be sure and my heart is alright
And I feel like I should and I feel like I might
Take it back to the start I've got to live my own life
Every corner I drift, have you lived the night?
I need to find my own truth
I need to carry this weight, I need to get home
to you.
I need to move it around
Got to click to the beat and need to jump to the sound
You want to free your own heart, I got to finish this off
And take it back to the start.
Everything that you've seen
Everyone that you know, and every place that you've been
All I want is something brighter
All I want is something good
All I need is this desire
Fingers numb, feel sick again
I call on you, you my friend
You’ve stung my heart
With your goodbyes
The lemon sweet of your lies
Let the dirt cover me
Kiss the sky, as you fly on high
Over all that’s left to be
I’ll see you when I fall
I’m so tired, put me to sleep
I dig a hole, I dig down deep
I see faces in the black
Grabbing hands pulling me back
I am lost within myself
No I can’t be someone else
So many things still left to say
I'll see you when I fall
Face the phantoms in my sleep
They say time heals, will it for me?
With every cut you’re in too deep
As sorrow plants another seed
I let the dirt cover me
Kiss the sky, as you fly on high
Over all that’s left to be
I’ll see you when I fall
I’m so tired, put me to sleep
I dig a hole, I dig down deep
I see faces in the black
Grabbing hands pulling me back
I am lost within myself
No I can’t be someone else
And it makes me wonder why
All good things they come to die
Behold the sadness in my eyes
I’ll forget and live my life
Though you’ll burn inside of me
I know how you feel
You're still hopeful
for something real
we always knew
this day would end
And leave us silent
once again
I hope you know
the state I'm in
I complicate
most everything
I hope you
I know how you feel
You're still hopeful
for something real
we always knew
this day would end
and leave us broken
once again
I hope you know
the state I'm in
I complicate
most everything
I hope you know
Just what it is
I hope you'll find
Just what you miss
I hope you
It will come to you
At the break of day
It will come to you
It'll wash away
It will come to you
Like the morning sun
It'll come to you
There'll never be another you, there'll never be another chance at bliss
There'll never be another you, there'll never be another time like this
I hear your words
You call my name
There's nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
come sing to me
In broken voice, you'll set me free
I hear your words
You call my name
There's nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
come sing to me
In broken verse, you'll set me free
Night has fallen
Curtains are drawn
And I've been singing
The same old song
About
How it feels
To be lost and alone
In a faraway place
My love
I see al million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
At the other end of the night
Every country I go
I travel the plane and open road
As the sky unravels, the truth unfolds
I've been looking in the eyes of love
I see a million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
You look at me and then you walk away
you say words only you can say
I want you
like I do
You step outside in the blistering rain
You tell me all I need to hear again
And I want you
like I do
Couldn't kill it if you tried
It's up to fate to decide
Nothing'ss ever lost
unless you want it to
I'll run away with you
You take me to the place that you know best
There's not much time we should be moving fast
If we want to
Make it through
You laugh at me, you're playing hard to get
You say trouble hasn't found us yet
And you want me
Like you do
Couldn't kill it if you tried
It's up to fate to decide
Nothing's ever lost
unless you want it to
I'll run away with you
( Freddie Mercury / Live )
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at any price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidently
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive
She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at any price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You and that thing that you are
That you are
You and those things that you're not
That you're not
I wish I was all of that
You and that thing that you are
That you are
You and those things that you're not
That you're not
I can feel the threads ripping away
At my heart
And I am down in the dark again
I wish I was burning your skin
I wish I knew the load that you're in
I have the toils bringing me down
Stretched in this world
Strewn all around
Scattered in parts
Lost in the dark
My love
This leaden heart
Love reigh here in the realms
Of pain
I am growing older love
I am growing colder love
How long can love seize the fire?
Restrain the sparks of our desires?
Million lights
Night has fallen
Curtains are drawn
And I've been singing
The same old song
About
How it feels
To be lost and alone
In a faraway place
My love
I see al million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
At the other end of the night
Every country I go
I travel the plane and open road
As the sky unravels, the truth unfolds
I've been looking in the eyes of love
I see a million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
Are you dancing with the big boys?
Just like you have no choice
All the words you're saying
Fit the games you're playing
Did you just walk away?
Got trapped one day
To leave them all in disarray.
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place
I said this is not happening
It's not my faith
It's not the way and
Dancing with the big boys
Walking through a hot breeze
Do you recall my fall, my space in time?
And I was born to this sweet rhyme
Do you believe
the earth is crying?
Do you believe
we're not alone?
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe
the lies you're thrown
Do you believe?
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place and
I said this is not happening
It's not my call
It's not my faith
And I
Blood red shot yeah the look in your eyes
Ooh Ooh tell me no more
I said this is not happening
It's not the time
It's not the place
I said this is not happening
It's not my call
It's not my faith
Dancing with the big boys
Shooting through the hot breeze
Do you recall my fall, my space in time?
I was born to this sweet rhyme
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe?
Do you believe
the earth is crying?
Do you believe?
Do you believe
the earth is dying?
Do you believe?
I don't know where I'm going
I see a light
I'd fix it all if I could this time
Stretched out before me
I can only see
See the light
Burning out
See the love
As it goes
And it wars you out
Could you have been
All that you wanted to
Carry me, carry me home
I don't know where I'm going
If you see the way
I could hold you through the night and day
Stretched out before me
I can only see
See the light
Burning out
See the love
As it goes
And it wars you out
Could you have been
All that you wanted to
Come in and like you are and
Come in and like you are and
Come out drifting from the fog
Come out lurking from the door
Tied to the hands that hold you [x2]
Tied to the hands that hold you down
Tied to the hands that hold you [x2]
Tied to the hands that hold you down
Come get me high
Come get me low
Tear me apart
Say I can't go
Throughout this rage
I must find peace
I must find ways
to bring relief
Come out drifting from the fog
Come out lurking from the door [x2]
Come out...
Tied to the hands that hold you [x2]
Tied to the hands that hold you down
Tied to the hands that hold you [x2]
Tied to the hands that hold you down
So give me
some light
some air to breath [x2]
I'm gonna get you down
I'm gonna get you now
I'm gonna turn around
and find a world inside
with my own two hands,
I'm gonna make you feel,
all the things I fear,
all the things you fear
Past the bathroom wall,
In my mirrored face,
I will show you good,
I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks
I'm waiting 'till it stops
I'm waiting 'till it stops
I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks
All things measured by time
I'm bding my time
All laid out before me
The signs they implore me
The time has come for me to let you know
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks and I
I'm hoping it'll stop
I'm hoping it'll stop and
When you look at me
When you look at me
What is that you see?
What is that you se now?
All laid out before me
The signs they implore me
The time has come for me to let it go
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
When all you had and all you once believed in
When all you had and all you held so dear
disappears
I don't know wich way the wind will blow
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
You can take me any place you want to take me
I can be your long lost soul.
You and me together we can be forever
No one ever needs to know.
Glowing on the outside,
Burning on the inside
I know what you really feel.
Time to set fire to your little heart now
You know all it wants is me.
I just want to hear you screaming out you love me
And this little game we play.
If you would just let me come a little closer
I'd fill up the empty space.
You can take me any place you want to take me
I can be your long lost soul.
You and me together we can be forever
No one ever needs to know.
You can take me any place you want to take me
I can be your long lost soul.
Tell me all about your little tiny secrets
Are there things I need to know?
We can walk around or sit here for a while
I know what you really feel.
You just want to go set fire to your heart
'Cos all it ever had was me.
I just want to hear you screaming out you love me
And this little game we play.
If you would just let me come a little closer
I'd fill up the empty space.
You can take me anywhere you want to take me
I can be your long lost soul.
You and me together we can be forever
No one ever needs to know.
Time takes care of all our sorrows,
Time heals all.
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me straight down to my rotten bones.
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me straight down to my rotten bones.
I just want to hear you screaming out you love me
And this little game we play.
If you'd only let me come a little closer
I'd fill up the empty space.
It's the time of the year, it's the time of the year
It's the time of the year, it's the time of the year
It's the time of the year, it's the time of the year
To be grateful for what you've got my dear.
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me straight down to my rotten bones.
And I'll be, and I'll be, and I'll be
Whoever you'd want me
And I'll be, and I'll be
Your long lost soul, long lost soul, long lost soul.
Don't ever let me go, don't ever let me go.
I just want to hear you screaming out you love me
And this little game we play.
If you would just let me come a little closer
I'd fill up the empty space.
Baby, just maybe
Oh, baby, just maybe
Oh, we can find a little space
To make it all, to make it all come true.
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me straight down to my rotten bones.
Baby all these tiring
Things you do know
Were they built to set and kill
Your own vibe?
Don't you think it's time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain't no God gonna
Get you out of this somehow
Baby I've been strolling
Along these hurting streets
Don't know what to throw away
Or what to keep
Don't you think it's time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain't no God gonna
Get you out of this burning house
What is more?
That is all
Enough is less
To grab it all
Don't you know that the rise
Always comes to a fall
Untill you're gathered safely in
Can you feel it slowly drag you down?
Can you feel it turning you around?
Don't you think it's time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain't no God gonna
At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
We’re all doing time
Something’s closing
Haven’t you heard?
The woman that we’ve tried to stop
Now sits alone just waiting 'til forever
Forever makes me cry
And I don’t know why all you people
Put that into my head
I can’t see why this conversation
Is looking kind of dead
At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
I’m often doing time
And I don’t know just why you reckon
It would be this day and
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape
So you do praise a different light
And I am blinded by it
So sorry that I made you cry
Your faith in me it had to die
I guess that
That it’s too late
The lights are out
The party’s over baby
And now
I wish I’d told you
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
You may strike me down in anger
You may hold a different vice
You may talk about me
Spreading 'round your foolish lies
You may say it all comes
Down to just one thing
You either take it
Or you leave it
And bear the consequence it brings
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by you rules
I've walked with the restless
They don't get much sleep
I've made another promise
One I could not keep
You make strike me down in anger
You may burn me with your eyes
You may talk about me
Spreading 'round your foolish lies
You may say it's all or nothing
And that there's no in-between
And all I need to do is focus
And stop living in a dream
I've tried to make a difference
I knew that would not last
While trying to move forward
I got caught up by the past
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Can? Can I take it?
Can I ? Can? Will I try to
Break away from you?
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by your rules
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Sing with me, sing with me
Sing with me, sing with me
All I did was get close to you
Sudden as the day arrives
to wash away the night
soon you grab a hold of me
here tonight
When all hope has left your eyes
and you can no longer see
i will be there by your side
faithfully
I will see the light in you
i will find a way
i will find the heart in you
when you fail
I know that the darkness will
will amount to light
i will keep your secret safe
here tonight
I will see the light in you
i will be your guide
open up your heart to me
you will find
Right ..... This..........time
I will see the light in you
i will find a way
i will find the heart in you
when you fail
Sudden as the day arrives
Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Lonely
Cold water trails
Surround me
When all that I’ve feared
Has found me
Maybe I’ll never know
Maybe I just can't see
Maybe all I want is right
In front of me
Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Lonely
Maybe I’ll never know
Maybe I just can't see
I just can't afford
This happening
To me
Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Feel this time it's coming down
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
One last time we
Away we go
Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Feel this town it's coming round
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Seven odd years and I'm resting my head down
Seven odd years that can't be turned around
Seven odd years and I don't know where to go
I'm still roaming in your woods
I'm still guessing why I never could
Seven odd years and I must be going blind
Seven odd years hang heavy on my mind
Like the rolling of my tears and the dream where
The heart never fears
Where the heart never fears
Seven odd years and I must be going blind
Seven odd years and time is on my mind
And the fire beneath the stone, where your head lies
My heart often goes
Oh the heart often goes
Oh the heart often goes
To you life and to our flame and the ghost is crowded
Like the game I'm playing
Seven odd years and I'm living in the past
Seven odd years and time is fading fast
See the writing of your youth see the whole and
the whole cuts right through
Oh cuts right through
And I just can't go on
And I just can't go on
And I just can't go on
The road I'm taking and the bond I'm
breaking anymore
Seven odd years and meet me down the line
Seven odd years and you'd think I'd be doing fine
But I'm still roaming in your woods
I'm still guessin why I never had
You riddle, you say
You throw yourself
On to me
It's kind of hard to lay it down
Just one two three
And I know
Just why you take it slow
You've got those things
Living down, down below Of the heart
You make it harder
Every time it comes around
We tell each other
It's not fair the way you take me there
And then you go and waive it off
Pretend you just don't care
But if you love me
With all of your heart
There's no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can't stay
Baby it's allright I
I'll be your blowtorch
Burning your way throughout
The night
You riddle, you say
You throw yourself
On to me
It's kind of hard to lay it down
Just one two three
And I know
Just why you take it slow
You've got those things
Living down, down below
With every tremor
Of the heart
You make it harder
Every time it comes around
We tell each other
It's not fair the way you take me there
And then you go and waive it off
Pretend you just don't care
But if you love me
With all of your heart
There's no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can't stay
Baby it's allright I
I'll be your blowtorch
Burning your way throughout
The night
Bridge
But if you love me
With all of your heart, yeah
There's no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can't stay
Baby it's allright I
I'll be your blowtorch
Guiding your way throughout
The night
But if you love me
With all of your heart
I'll make you proud of me
I'll guide your way throughout the
dark
And if you can't stay
Baby it's allright I
I'll be your blowtorch
Guiding your way throughout
Come on now love
I've been trying to reach you
With my heart in my hands
dumbfounded
I wanted to see you
Come on now love
how do you want it?
Got my mind all made up
You know you can't
always be like this.
I lie with you tonight
and I've waited so long
This love tearing me down
And I've been here so long
This love tearing me down
This time
Come on now love
So sweet I can taste it
Come on now love
I'm sure you got some time to waste yeah
Come on now love
I'm so close I can feel it
Give my your heart sweetheart
I know just how you want it yeah yeah
I lie with you tonight
and I've waited so long
This love tearing me down
And I've been here so long
This love tearing me down
This time
I lie with you tonight
and I've waited so long
This love tearing me down
And I've been here so long
This love tearing me down
This time
I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy
The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Oh lord
It’s pulling me down
Oh darling
How weak this crown
Do you fail
To understand
What is heartily now
What’s in your hands
Oh creature
Oh love
Strained now
'Til we get enough
I ain’t afraid no more
As they batter down the door
Who you are and what you say
You’ve built it up some other way
Isn’t that crime these tears divine
Love you tear me up sometimes and
Oh darling
You and me
Stuck on time as we see
The outside world fade away
'Til the dark
The dark of the day
Who you are and what you say
Does it mean now anyway
Throw off your crown, tread me down
Oh baby stop all feelings now
Oh we’re worlds apart
Helpless as we are
You and I
Walk on by
Our little love will die
Still walking the bridge to God
Thinking things that I can not
Relate this to what you say
Bricks are falling down this day, oh
Oh darling
The weeks to come
Ain’t nothing but the sound of your drum
You can stay or walk away
As I, I long to say
Who you are and what you say
Babe we’ve lost now anyway
Isn’t that a crime these tears divine
A river ‘round your waist sometimes, oh
And stuck in tears as we’ve gone too far
Babe you’ve built a wall
That’s hard getting through
Getting through to you
Who you are and what you say
Held down anyway
Oh darling fear brought us here
Oh oh, hold hands she don’t want me tied
Her hands still stuck in mine
Baby I long to see, oh oh
Hey you, my tears won’t mend
Out of the world today
into your light tonight
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.
Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.
In a haste and running I forgot to say
the indifference is grabbing me.
Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.
To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends, of me and my friends.
The lady in red, she swallows my pride.
There's no chance of victory tonight.
Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.
To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends, of me and my friends.
It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round,
it's coming 'round to claim its ground.
It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round,
you will see.
Out of your world today
into the light tonight.
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.
Out of your world today
into the light tonight.
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.
Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.
To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends.
To the rescue, to the rescue
( Live / David Bowie Cover )
It’s a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she’s lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It’s on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia os out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
‘Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It’s about to be writ again
And I ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Hey kid
Hasn’t love bit you lately?
Well maybe
Still yet to come to fulfil and erase
Yeah raise
And circumstances dancing around my head
It’s the way to your soul that holds me alive
Life, life
We forced up the fear
That’s why we’re wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn’t that why we’re here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I’m under
Life, life, life, life life
Life, sweet life
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
Life, life, life, life
We forced up the fear
That’s why we’re wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn’t that why we’re here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I’m under
Life, life, life, life life
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
Life
Hold on tight to the life
Life, life, life, life
It’s going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
It’s going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
And she
Holds me alive
The time has come
To say it clear
The time has come
For you my dear
You can’t be sure of anything
It ain’t no use but still you cling
You fight it off
You fight it brave
You try real hard
But you’re still a slave
To all of this, everything
Forever waiting in the wings
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of your love
In praise of your love
Your sky is bleak
Some off-white
No dark shadows
No bright highlights
You can’t be sure of anything
It ain’t no use but still you cling
Your tired eyes
Reveal the truth
It’s killing me like
It’s killing you
‘cause we’re never sure of anything
Always somewhere in between
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of your love
In praise of your love
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of your love
In praise of your love
And time again we’re blown off course
And time again we bleed
And once again we find ourselves
Just out of reach
You try real hard, you fight it off
You go at it again
You figure, one more day
You know I just might win
And time again we’re blown off course
And time again we bleed
And time again we’re blown off course
And time again we’re
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of, praise of
Singing in praise of your love
In praise of your love
And time again we’re blown off course
And time again we bleed
And once again we find ourselves
Just out of reach
You try real hard, you fight it off
You go at it again
You figure, one more day
You know I just might win
And time again we’re blown off course
And time again we bleed
And once again we find ourselves
Just out of reach
You try real hard, you fight it off
You go at it again
You figure, one more day
We wait for love to come
We’ll all go down
We’ll take our turns
We walk across
A new born world
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
I sail along your shore
I broke you then
I’ll break some more
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
The ship is turning over now
We’re trying to hold it up
Just one more time tonight
I feel all right
Been turning on that very point
You ought to stay anyway
Don’t you wanna bring holy love today
Don’t you wanna pray
Oh, no, yeah, all gunned down
Hold your tears
Oh don’t you break my very own life
Hate, pulling me down
You will walk, you will walk
Hot tears coming down hard
The pain inside
Don’t you hate
Cause I know you
We just walk, we just walk
All will wait for us
[Chorus]
If you go
I'll never know
Why my heart is set down low
my body yearns, the soul returns
to it´s sleep now
It's just a goal, how will I know?
You don't mind and love don't grow
It's just a turn, my body yearns
for your sleep now
Hey see my face
I've played it all a thousand times
In my mind
[Chorus]
Hey see my face
I've played it all a thousand times
In my mind
[x2]
What will it take
for us to brake
could we do more
will it take for us to find
some piece of mind
[Chorus]
And it's you that I want,
that I want,
that I want now
[x3]
[Chorus]
Save it 'till the morning, when the rise
becomes the fall
Save it 'till the morning, when the rise
becomes the fall
if you go
[x2]
And it's you that I want,
that I want,
that I want now
You should have seen her
All her days are all filled with tears
You should have seen her
Touch her greatest fear
You should have seen her stumble and
Fall you should have seen
You should have seen her out on
The wire once again
You should have seen her missing out
On every chance
Oh the wall and the wicked
And the storm in her mind
And the fire oh baby
She’s dying sometimes
She’s gonna leaving it
To the others to sort it all out
And the fire oh baby
I want you to be now
I want you to be now
You will see when things chance
She’ll soon fled the town
You will see there’s someone
Holding her down
You’ll see her she’s the object of
A sickened kind of love
You will see her nights end
In pieces, once again
You will see her missing out
On every chance
Oh the wall and the wicked
And the storm in her mind
And the fire oh baby
She’s dying sometimes
She’s gonna leaving it
To the others to sort it all out
And the fire oh baby
I want you to be now
Whoever you want
See now whatever you want
And the world is turning
Day by day like you away from me
And oh your world weary eyes
Oh your world weary eyes
And oh should I fall into your trap again
I want to live with you
In your beds of bliss
Want to hide out
In your tenderness
I want the world to be
Made complete
On your life I will feed
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
It’s freezing you
You’re frozen still
Memories
Come flooding in
Turn the reel
Reverse the past
Are you trying to make
This moment last?
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
I want to live within
Cause I can’t live without
I want to build it up
So it can break me down
I am gonna let him have
His way with you
Do all things that I wanted to
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
Feeling
Free
Born into the last divide
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
And again, and again
And again, and again
way up, way down and no way to return
mankind that never learned
just talk 'bout love and respect but just lie in fact
I tell you that's the way you act
the deep dungeons in the heads
are filled with distrust, hate and pain
a friendly smile to keep the common face
it's the same old ugly game
SIX BILLION HUMANS CREAPING DOWN ON EARTH
HIDING FROM WHAT THEY'LL DESERVE
LIVING ONLY TO ENJOY
NOT FOR LIFE, JUST TO DESTROY
go down, go down, go down without remorse
for your own end you're the cause
go on, go on until it's to late
follow your God and stand straight
you hurt each other with your hatred
killer and victim through and through
you think you're the only exception
and for this I hate you!
feed the dungeons in your head
preach damnation and stand straight
feed the dungeons in your head
we know you just preach to hate
feed the dungeons, feed the dungeons

Shades of blood
And shades of inhumanity
We can see
Your trace throughout history
Decades of hope
You brought up to society
And centuries of pain
And hopelessness and misery
Your mission is perfect
You spread and infect
Annoying insect
Good christians
Crucifictions
Forgiven when you cross yourself
In the name of god
Millions have been sent to hell
Is it faith
What makes you look up to the priest
Or ignorance
Or the fear of the beast?
Your mission is perfect
You spread and infect
Annoying insect
...with his last words in the death chamber he swears,
he would never kill again...
I swear, I'd never fail again
I swear, I'd never fail again
I swear, I'd never fail again
I swear, I'd never fail again
Well-devised from the start
No matter what I learned
Where's the hand that I could hold
I never could return
I'm buckled on this cross-like desk
The whitnesses await
I made my life a one-way street
you can speak as a man
you can walk as one
can be proud of your past
and the things you've done
all I read from your lips
is sweeter than gingerbread
Mr. President, I'm awake
shut your mouth, for God's sake
SHUT! SHUT! SHUT!
SHUT YOUR MOUTH! SHUT, OH PLEASE
SHUT YOUR MOUTH! SHUT, SHUT UP!
you promise good, promise work
money for everyone
but the best jobs in town
are for your daughters and your sons
why do you get the most
in this motherfucking land?
well, because all you give

the black sunshine high above
smell dead children, forget to love
soul burns brightly, never see
never hear a word from me
one door is open, one door is locked
i am the mountain, the highest rock
you'll never reach the end until
your hands work for my own will
hurgh
a loaded pistol in your hand
will never be my command
the dream you reach in your mind
well, i'm polite, you'll never find
without my hand, without my feet
a man is nothing more than meat
hell is for those who criticize
the truth, it lies behind my eyes
hurgh
i don't possess you, i don't care
that's not my kind of warfare
trust me, you're small together we're tall
when you give me your life, child
it is the last time you will smile
for me the biggest, endless thrill
you never thought that i'd kill
hurgh
and from the point that you are mine
you start to learn a different side
the one who reaches out for me
is trapped by sick misanthropy
cause i deliver you from good
i treat you like nobody would
say hello to the masters knife
and say good-bye to the beat of life
hurgh

now here i stand, i've got no eyes
got no hands, no arms to embrace
the darkest day, crossed man's way
can't describe the sorrow in me

nuclear weapons we say good-bye

...in his thoughts the murderer blames the ones who pass the laws,
sentence to death and file the cases away. In his eyes they commit a
murder, planned and legalized by the government. He asks himself: Could
they ever kill a man with their own hands?...
This is my life, a piece of paper in your hands
You play the big guy
You're behind the scenes of the crime
You don't push the button
You pronounce the death sentence
Then you put me on hold, your henchmen to kill me
Could you ever kill a man with your own hands
Tell me how strong you would be
If you were forced to execute me!?
YOU LET ME ROT, LIKE A PIECE OF YOUR FLESH
YOU LET ME ROT, LIKE A PIECE OF YOUR FLESH
You really believe.
You're going to church on Sunday.
You could do no harm
You represent the public opinion
I guess you don't know
What's going to happen that morning
Or you simply suppress that you're a murderer
Could you ever sleep well at night, if I'd face you
Tell me how grateful you'd be
If your own hands had to kill me!?
YOU LET ME ROT, LIKE A PIECE OF YOUR FLESH
...right after the robbery the murderer tries to escape, the police search
teams hard on his heels. He's soon cornered and arrested...
Sirens wailing
Voices yelling
Confusion in my head, I cannot think at all
There's no turning back, backed against the wall
Sirens in the air, I hear that racking sound
The pounding of my heart, I'm feelin' they're around
Drop the gun, turn 'round!
Resistance is senseless!
Drop the gun, turn 'round!
Resistance is senseless, Senseless!
Floodlights searching
Bloodhounds seeking
Bloody cops on my back, searching every block
I'm cought in a trap, driven into and locked
No, I won't obey, I take my chance and run
I know I'll find a way, yes, I still got my gun
Drop the gun, turn 'round!
Resistance is senseless!
Drop the gun, turn 'round!
Resistance is senseless!
Or should I stop, yield and confess it all...
...to dwell in jail for years? No! I've got to run!
Drop the gun, turn 'round!
...on the backseat of a squad-car he realizes for the first time what he
has done and wonders about his bleak future. He's aware of his guilt and
tries to justify himself with a blackout...
Oh let me wake up quickly, let me get outta here
And wash away the guilt, the blood-stains on my shirt Oh my god what have I
done?
Why did I use this fuckin' gun?
Why did I shoot and kill a man? and a woman, too?
BLACKOUT BLACKOUT BLACKOUT BLACKOUT
Now here I sit on the back-seat of a squad car
What's gonna happen now? I won't say a word to any of these bastards
They won't make me bow I didn't want to kill these people I didn't want to
shoot
This was never my intention
Really, I didn't want to...
