    letra de The future

    Give me back my broken night
    My mirrored room, my secret life
    It's lonely here,
    There's no one left to torture
    Give me absolute control
    Over every living soul
    And lie beside me, baby,
    That's an order!
    Give me crack and anal sex
    Take the only tree that's left
    And stuff it up the hole
    In your culture
    Give me back the berlin wall
    Give me stalin and st paul
    I've seen the future, brother
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
    Won't be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it has overturned
    The order of the soul
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    You don't know me from the wind
    You never will, you never did
    I'm the little jew
    Who wrote the bible
    I've seen the nations rise and fall
    I've heard their stories, heard them all
    But love's the only engine of survival
    Your servant here, he has been told
    To say it clear, to say it cold:
    It's over, it ain't going
    Any further
    And now the wheels of heaven stop
    You feel the devil's riding crop
    Get ready for the future:
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide
    There'll be the breaking of the ancient
    Western code
    Your private life will suddenly explode
    There'll be phantoms
    There'll be fires on the road
    And the white man dancing
    You'll see a woman
    Hanging upside down
    Her features covered by her fallen gown
    And all the lousy little poets
    Coming round
    Tryin' to sound like charlie manson
    And the white man dancin'
    Give me back the berlin wall
    Give me stalin and st paul
    Give me christ
    Or give me hiroshima
    Destroy another fetus now
    We don't like children anyhow
    I've seen the future, baby
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide
    When they said repent repent

  2. Waiting for the miracleVer letra 7:42

    letra de Waiting for the miracle

    Baby, I've been waiting,
    I've been waiting night and day.
    I didn't see the time,
    I waited half my life away.
    There were lots of invitations
    And I know you sent me some,
    But I was waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    I know you really loved me.
    But, you see, my hands were tied.
    I know it must have hurt you,
    It must have hurt your pride
    To have to stand beneath my window
    With your bugle and your drum,
    And me I'm up there waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
    You wouldn't like it here.
    There ain't no entertainment
    And the judgments are severe.
    The Maestro says it's Mozart
    But it sounds like bubble gum
    When you're waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Waiting for the miracle
    There's nothing left to do.
    I haven't been this happy
    Since the end of World War II.
    Nothing left to do
    When you know that you've been taken.
    Nothing left to do
    When you're begging for a crumb
    Nothing left to do
    When you've got to go on waiting
    Waiting for the miracle to come.
    I dreamed about you, baby.
    It was just the other night.
    Most of you was naked
    Ah but some of you was light.
    The sands of time were falling
    From your fingers and your thumb,
    And you were waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come
    Ah baby, let's get married,
    We've been alone too long.
    Let's be alone together.
    Let's see if we're that strong.
    Yeah let's do something crazy,
    Something absolutely wrong
    While we're waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Nothing left to do
    When you've fallen on the highway
    And you're lying in the rain,
    And they ask you how you're doing
    Of course you'll say you can't complain
    If you're squeezed for information,
    That's when you've got to play it dumb
    You just say you're out there waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

    letra de Be for real

    Are you back in my life to stay
    Or is it just for today
    Oh that you're gonna need me?
    If it's a thrill you're looking for
    Honey, I'm flexible. Oh, yeah.
    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real oh, Baby
    You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again
    So you see I'm not naive.
    I just would like to believe
    Ah what you tell me.
    So don't give me the world today
    And tomorrow take it away.
    Don't do that to me, darling.
    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real won't you, Baby
    Been hurt so many times
    You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.
    (I don't give a damn about the truth, Baby
    Except for the naked truth. Oh yeah)
    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real won't you, Baby
    No, no, no, no
    It's just that I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.

    letra de Closing time

    Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
    And the band is really happening
    And the johnny walker wisdom running high
    And my very sweet companion
    She's the angel of compassion
    She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
    And every drinker every dancer
    Lifts a happy face to thank her
    The fiddler fiddles something so sublime
    All the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    It's closing time
    Yeah the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    It's closing time
    Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
    And the cider's laced with acid
    And the holy spirit's crying, "where's the beef?"
    And the moon is swimming naked
    And the summer night is fragrant
    With a mighty expectation of relief
    So we struggle and we stagger
    Down the snakes and up the ladder
    To the tower where the blessed hours chime
    And I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    But closing time
    I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    Closing time
    I loved you for your beauty
    But that doesn't make a fool of me:
    You were in it for your beauty too
    And I loved you for your body
    There's a voice that sounds like god to me
    Declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
    And I loved you when our love was blessed
    And I love you now there's nothing left
    But sorrow and a sense of overtime
    And I missed you since the place got wrecked
    And I just don't care what happens next
    Looks like freedom but it feels like death
    It's something in between, I guess
    It's closing time
    Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
    By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
    Looks like freedom but it feels like death
    It's something in between, I guess
    It's closing time
    Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
    But there's nothing really happening
    And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
    And my very close companion
    Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
    She's a hundred but she's wearing
    Something tight
    And I lift my glass to the awful truth
    Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
    Except to say it isn't worth a dime
    And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
    And it's once for the devil and once for christ
    But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
    We're busted in the blinding lights,
    Busted in the blinding lights
    Of closing time
    The whole damn place goes crazy twice
    And it's once for the devil and once for christ
    But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
    We're busted in the blinding lights,
    Busted in the blinding lights
    Of closing time
    Oh the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    It's closing time
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
    It's closing time
    I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    It's closing time
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    But closing time
    I loved you when our love was blessed
    I love you now there's nothing left
    But closing time
    I miss you since the place got wrecked
    By the winds of change and the weeds of sex.

    letra de Anthem

    The birds they sang
    At the break of day
    Start again
    I heard them say
    Don't dwell on what
    Has passed away
    Or what is yet to be.
    Ah the wars they will
    Be fought again
    The holy dove
    She will be caught again
    Bought and sold
    And bought again
    The dove is never free.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    We asked for signs
    The signs were sent
    The birth betrayed
    The marriage spent
    Yeah the widowhood
    Of every government
    Signs for all to see.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud.
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    And they're going to hear from me.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    You can add up the parts
    But you won't have the sum
    You can strike up the march,
    There is no drum
    Every heart, every heart
    To love will come
    But like a refugee.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    That's how the light gets in.
    That's how the light gets in.

    letra de Democracy

    It's coming through a hole in the air,
    From those nights in Tiananmen Square.
    It's coming from the feel
    That this ain't exactly real,
    Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
    From the wars against disorder,
    From the sirens night and day,
    From the fires of the homeless,
    From the ashes of the gay:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming through a crack in the wall
    On a visionary flood of alcohol
    From the staggering account
    Of the Sermon on the Mount
    Which I don't pretend to understand at all.
    It's coming from the silence
    On the dock of the bay,
    From the brave, the bold, the battered
    Heart of Chevrolet
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
    The holy places where the races meet
    From the homicidal bitchin'
    That goes down in every kitchen
    To determine who will serve and who will eat.
    From the wells of disappointment
    Where the women kneel to pray
    For the grace of God in the desert here
    And the desert far away:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    Sail on, sail on
    O mighty Ship of State!
    To the Shores of Need
    Past the Reefs of Greed
    Through the Squalls of Hate
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
    It's coming to America first,
    The cradle of the best and of the worst.
    It's here they got the range
    And the machinery for change
    And it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
    It's here the family's broken
    And it's here the lonely say
    That the heart has got to open
    In a fundamental way:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming from the women and the men.
    O baby, we'll be making love again.
    We'll be going down so deep
    The river's going to weep,
    And the mountain's going to shout Amen!
    It's coming like the tidal flood
    Beneath the lunar sway,
    Imperial, mysterious,
    In amorous array
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    Sail on, sail on
    I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
    I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
    And I'm neither left or right
    I'm just staying home tonight,
    Getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
    But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
    That Time cannot decay,
    I'm junk but I'm still holding up
    This little wild bouquet
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

    letra de Light as the breeze

    She stands before you naked
    You can see it, you can taste it,
    And she comes to you light as the breeze.
    Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
    It don't matter how you worship
    As long as you're
    Down on your knees.
    So I knelt there at the delta,
    At the alpha and the omega,
    At the cradle of the river and the seas.
    And like a blessing come from heaven
    For something like a second
    I was healed and my heart
    Was at ease.
    O baby I waited
    So long for your kiss
    For something to happen,
    Oh something like this.
    And you're weak and you're harmless
    And you're sleeping in your harness
    And the wind going wild
    In the trees,
    And it ain't exactly prison
    But you'll never be forgiven
    For whatever you've done
    With the keys.
    O baby I waited
    It's dark now and it's snowing
    O my love I must be going,
    The river has started to freeze.
    And I'm sick of pretending
    I'm broken from bending
    I've lived too long on my knees.
    Then she dances so graceful
    And your heart's hard and hateful
    And she's naked
    But that's just a tease.
    And you turn in disgust
    From your hatred and from your love
    And comes to you
    Light as the breeze.
    O baby I waited
    There's blood on every bracelet
    You can see it, you can taste it,
    And it's please baby
    Please baby please.
    And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
    But don't forget there's still a woman
    Beneath this
    Resplendent chemise.
    So I knelt there at the delta,
    At the alpha and the omega,
    I knelt there like one who believes.
    And the blessings come from heaven
    And for something like a second
    I'm cured and my heart
    Is at ease

    letra de Always

    (Oh friends, don't matter if you're a man or a woman. If you're in love
    with somebody, these are the words that you got to learn to say. Now
    listen carefully. Here it comes)
    I'll be loving you always
    with a love that's true, always
    When the thing you've planned
    needs my helping hand,
    I will understand, always, always
    Days may not be fair, always
    Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
    Not for just an hour,
    Not for just a day,
    Not for just a year, but always.
    I said that I'll be loving you, always
    with a love that's true, always.
    When the thing you've planned
    needs my helping hand,
    I will, I will understand, always, always
    (Oh that's pretty
    that's pretty too
    Oh darling)
    The days may not be fair, always
    Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
    Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour,
    Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower,
    Not for just the summer and the winter going sour,
    But always, always, always
    (OK if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time)
    I'll be loving you, always
    with a love that's true, always.
    When the thing you've planned
    needs my helping hand,
    I will understand, I will, I will understand, always, always
    The days may not be fair, always
    (Don't worry, baby)
    That's when I'll be there, always
    Not for just an hour,
    Not for just a day,
    Not for just a year, but always.
