- GoldVer letra
[X]Thank you for coming homeletra de Gold
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you
Nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall
Gold (Gold)
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, 'cos you are
Gold (Gold)
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believing
After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the face
You knew that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you
My love is like a high prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall
Gold (Gold)
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, 'cos you are
Gold (Gold)
I'm glad that you're bound to return
Something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believing
My love is like a high prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall
Gold (Gold)
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, 'cos you are
Gold (Gold)
I'm glad that you're bound to return
Something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believing - TrueVer letra
[X](Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)letra de True
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
So true
Funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (All night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
I know this much is true
This much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
I know, I know, I know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a true-oo-oo)
I know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a true-oo-oo)
Know this much is true
(This much is a-true-oo)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi)
(This much is a-true-oo-oo)
(Know this much is true)
I know, I know, I know this much is true - Only When You LeaveVer letra
[X]Laying in the after glow,letra de Only When You Leave
I only want to learn what you know,
But now you're leaving...
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving...
In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I only want to make this things last,
So how could this have gone so fast?
And now you're leaving...
How many times must I learn?
It' s only when you've gone that I burn,
And now you're leaving...
In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away - LifelineVer letra
[X]Changing her colors she's off to the shoreletra de Lifeline
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love
One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now you're living in the lifeline
We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sum
So live and let die in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving
‘Til you're living in the lifeline
We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving
‘Til you're living in the lifeline
We're moving
In the lifeline
We're walking
In the lifeline
We're throwing to you
But I'm not living - CommunicationVer letra
[X]Communication always leaves me incomplete,letra de Communication
The grass is greener, but it's grown beneath my feet...
Love inspiration is a message on a wing,
But I have left it in the words you'll never sing...
Communication let me down,
And I'm left here
Communication let me down,
And I'm left here, I'm left here again!
Telex or tell me, but it's always second-hand,
I'm incognito but no rendezvous's been planned...
Dictate or relay, I could send it to your home,
"Return to Sender" - I could sing it down the phone!
Communication let me down,
But I'm left here
Communication let me down,
But I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I...
(Dictate!)
(Relay!)
I'm sitting here, waiting by the telephone,
Waiting for the bell to ring,
Short change, fumble,
Dial-a-heart trouble,
And I ain't got time for searching through the rubble, oh no!
Well, I know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Communication let me down,
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I...
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!)
(I'm a-left a-here-oh!) - InstinctionVer letra
[X]Cheap bed, in the redletra de Instinction
Sleep the words out of your head
Cold floor, nice and raw
Eat the meat that’s on the floor
High tide, some disguise
Loving makes the cream taste nice
New shore, final score
On fresh demand, I’m wanting more
This might not last too long
So always take it
This might not last too long
So take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
It’s my instinction, it's my instinction
Reasons, reasons were part of the art
It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction
You cry, justify
But deep beneath the feelings lie
Photo, looking old
Memory makes the day feel cold
They’ve gone, sing your song
Walk the flow, ah, too slow
Post boom, second doom
Stealing cake to eat the moon
This might not last too long
So always take it
This might not last too long
So take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
It’s my instinction, it's my instinction
Reasons, reasons were part of the art
It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction
It’s my instinction, hey
Cheap bed, in the red
You cry, justify
Post boom, second doom
Stealing cake to eat the moon
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
It’s my instinction, it's my instinction
Reasons, reasons were part of the art
It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction
It’s my instinction, ohh
Stealing cake to eat the moon - Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)
- To Cut a Long Story ShortVer letra
[X]Soldier is turningletra de To Cut a Long Story Short
See him through white light
Running from strangers
See you in the valley
War upon war
Heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Sitting on a park bench
Years away from fighting
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Standing in the dark
Oh I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
And so very very young
To be standing in the street
To be taken by someone
Questions questions
Give me no answers
That's all they ever give me
Questions questions
Oh look at the strange boy
He finds it hard existing
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
To cut a long story short
I lost my...
Mi-i-i-i-ind! - Freeze
- MuscleboundVer letra
[X]We're building fires that will burn until morningletra de Musclebound
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
tough is the leather thats strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
we feel the steam as it rises around us
up from the soil that is cracking its back
tough us the leather thats strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that sing
work til you're musclebound all night long
work til you're musclebound all night long
gotta work til you're musclebound all night long
gotta work til you're musclebound all night long
we're building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
tough is the leather thats strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
to hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain
down through the vein and into the grain
strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
here is the land it can break
work til you're musclebound all night long
work til you're musclebound all night long
gotta work til you're musclebound all night long
gotta work til you're musclebound all night long - Paint Me DownVer letra
[X]Paint me downletra de Paint Me Down
Paint me down
Paint me down
I'm walking into studio
Consider strange appeal
Paint me in the home
I'm brushing up on sketchbook
Designs for love, unreal
Paint me in the home
Oil and skin, you'll need to buy it
Consider what I mean
She sinks beneath the moving pictures
Prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need
Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down
I'm soaking up the surface
Conceiving new idea
Paint me in the home
She's oiling up her subject
But all still life is here
paint me in the home
All the boys with framed dimension
A cover up on lust
He'll take his pain and paint it over
Prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need
Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down - She Loved Like DiamondVer letra
[X]She ran the risk from unityletra de She Loved Like Diamond
Obsession dies alone with tragedy
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard, she died
A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard, she died
Another path, I've run them all
The rain has cleared the stains, no trace at all
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard, she died
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard, she died - Round and RoundVer letra
[X]I don't have to be so wiseletra de Round and Round
You're just my fantasy and I will fantasize
Something more or less to make this things started
We're the artisans and we've been crafted
I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news
Nothing's ever been so wild
All that I get to do is what I give to you
This is all about the circles we've found
And through the ups and downs it goes round
Oh, I was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
Oh, we were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Oh I don't have to be so wild
You're just my fantasy and I will fantasize
Something more or less to make this things started
We're the artisans and we've been crafted
I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Ooh, this is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Ooh, this is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
You're just my fantasy and I will fantasize
I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news of my life
Oh I was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
We were the news
We were the news
We were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Ooh, this is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
Round and round it goes
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know - Highly StrungVer letra
[X]This is the song of little Joletra de Highly Strung
She's not the girl I used to know
Forever screaming all the day and night
She used to be a diplomat
But now she's down the laundromat
They washed her mind and now she finds it hard
I know her name
But now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'Cause she can't take no sympathy
Because she's highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
She's stepping out upon the ledge
She's got a gun against her head
She's wired up to blow the power line
She's walking out upon the knife
She'll take you to the edge of life
Just like the song, the pressure is on again
I know her name
Ho, but now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'Cause she can't take no sympathy
Because she's highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
No, no, no
I know her name
Ho, but now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'Cause she can't take no sympathy
Because she's highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
This is the song of little Jo
She's not the girl I used to know - Fight for OurselvesVer letra
[X]Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselvesletra de Fight for Ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
So many people, so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we've thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that were told to use
Are gonna make us free, until then I say
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
All through the mystery
All through the heartache
Shes got the only single thing
That Ill never throw away
Oh, if lightning strikes for a second time
Will you come and pull me through?
It's a battle that we all must make
So show me what to do
And you said
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land
There's a soul that's burning and it's your hand
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Oh, so many people now, there's so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we've thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that were told to use
Are gonna make us free
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land
There's a soul thats burning and it's your hand
Everybody, weve got to fight for ourselves - I'll Fly for You
- Through the BarricadesVer letra
[X]Mother doesn't know where love has goneletra de Through the Barricades
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
As our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
And now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
Oh, I thought we were the human race
But we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That there's always one escape
Oh, I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Friday's child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
And now I know what they're saying
As our hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
