IntruderVer letra 6:05

letra de Intruder
I know something about opening windows and doors

I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors

I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers

Slipping the clippers

Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires

The sense of isolation inspires

Inspires me

I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there

I like you lying awake, your bated breath charging the air

I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear

Intruders happy in the dark

Intruder come

Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark

letra de Wallflower
6x6 - from wall to wall

Shutters on the windows, no light at all

Damp on the floor you got damp in the bed

They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head

They feed you scraps and they feed you lies

To lower your defences, no compromise

Nothing you can do, the day can be long

Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard

Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life

And you face the night alone

While the builders of the cages

They sleep with bullets, bars and stone

They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out - the light burns your eyes

To the talking room - it's no surprise

Loaded questions from clean white coats

Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath

They tell you - how to behave, behave as their guest

You want to resist them, you do your best

They take you to your limits, they take you beyond

For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard

Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life

And you face the night alone

While the builders of the cages

They sleep with bullets, bars and stone

They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here

And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here

And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

And I will do what I can do

And I will do what I can do
The Boy In The BubbleVer letra 4:33

letra de The Boy In The Bubble
It was a slow day

And the sun was beating

On the soldiers by the side of the road

There was a bright light

A shattering of shop windows

The bomb in the baby carriage

Was wired to the radio, and

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

The way we look to us all

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

It was a dry wind

And it swept across the desert

And it curled into the circle of birth

And the dead sand

Falling on the children

The mothers and the fathers

And the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

The way we look to us all, oh, yeah

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

It's a turn-around jump shot

It's everybody jump start

It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

Medicine is magical and magical is art

Think of the boy in the bubble

And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe

These are days of lasers in the jungle

Lasers in the jungle somewhere

Staccato signals of constant information

A loose affiliation of millionaires

And billionaires, and, baby

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is the long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

The way we look to us all, oh, yeah

The way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in a corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

letra de Après Moi
I must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours

I must go on standing

I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood

I must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours

I must go on standing

I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood

(Gorit....)

Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood

The flood ...

The DropVer letra 2:48

[X]
letra de The Drop
moving down the fuselage
toward the open door
catch you looking down outside
to see what lies ahead

one by one
you watch them fall
fall through cloud
one by one
you watch them fall
no idea where they're going
but down

where they've gone
where they've gone

watching as the sun goes down
i sit inside this plane
notice how the city lights
are like the nerves inside the brain

one by one
they're going out
you watch them dim

one by one

you watch them fall
and wonder where they're falling to
Washing Of The WaterVer letra 4:21

[X]
letra de Washing Of The Water
River, river carry me on
Living river carry me on
River, river carry me on
To the place where I come from

So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride
If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside

River, show me how to float
I feel like I'm sinking down
Thought that I could get along
But here in this water
My feet won't touch the ground
I need something to turn myself around

Going away, away towards the sea
River deep, can you lift up and carry me
Oh roll on though the heartland
'Til the sun has left the sky
River, river carry me high
'Til the washing of the water make it all alright
Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight

Letting go, it's so hard
The way it's hurting now
To get this love untied
So tough to stay with thing
'Cause if I follow through
I face what I denied
I get those hooks out of me
And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide

River, oh river, river running deep
Bring me something that will let me get to sleep
In the washing of the water will you take it all away
Bring me something to take this pain away
The Book Of LoveVer letra 3:55

[X]
letra de The Book Of Love
The book of love is long and boring

No one can lift the damn thing

It's full of charts and facts and figures

And instructions for dancing

But I

I love it when you read to me

And you

You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it

In fact that's where music comes from

Some of it is just transcendental

Some of it is just really dumb

But I

I love it when you sing to me

And you

You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring

And written very long ago

It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes

And things we're all too young to know

But I

I love it when you give me things

And you

You ought to give me wedding rings

And I

I love it when you give me things

And you

You ought to give me wedding rings

You ought to give me wedding rings
DarknessVer letra 6:33

[X]
letra de Darkness
i'm scared of swimming in the sea

dark shapes moving under me

every fear i swallow makes me small

inconsequential things occur

alarms are triggered

memories stir

it's not the way it has to be

i'm afraid of what i do not know

i hate being undermined

i'm afraid i can be devil man

and i'm scared to be divine

don't mess with me my fuse is short

beneath this skin these fragments caught

when i allow it to be

there's no control over me

i have my fears

but they do not have me

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

the deeper I go, the darker it gets

i peer through the window

knock at the door

and the monster i was

so afraid of

lies curled up on the floor

is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

i cry until i laugh

i'm afraid of being mothered

with my balls shut in the pen

i'm afraid of loving women

and i'm scared of loving men

flashbacks coming in every night

don't tell me everything's alright

when I allow it to be

it has no control over me

i own my fear

so it doesn't own me

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

the deeper i go, the darker it gets

i peer through the window

knock at the door

and the monster i was

so afraid of

lies curled up on the floor

is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

i cry until i laugh
The Power Of The HeartVer letra 6:40

[X]
letra de The Power Of The Heart
You and me we always sweat and we strain

you look for sun and I look for rain

we're different people, we're not the same

the power of the sun

I looked for treetops, you looked for caps

above the water, where the waves snap back

I flew around the world to bring you back

ah the power of the heart

you looked at me and I looked at you

the sleeping heart was shining through

the wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through

the power of the heart

I looked at you and you looked at me

I thought of the past, you thought of what could be

I asked you once again to marry me

the power of the heart

Everybody says love makes the world go round

I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound

of my heart beating and I turn around

and find you standing at the door

you know me I like to dream a lot

of this and that and what is not

and finally I figured out what was what

it was the power of the heart

You and me we sweat and strain

the result is always the same

you think somehow we're in a game

the power of the heart

the power of the heart

I think I'm dumb I know you're smart

the beating of a purebred heart

I say this to you and it's not a lark

marry me today

You know me I like to dream a lot

of what there is and what there's not

but mainly I dream of you a lot

the power of the heart

the power of the heart
BikoVer letra 6:52

letra de Biko
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now
San JacintoVer letra 7:47

[X]
letra de San Jacinto
Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire

Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin

Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun

Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun

Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart

It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life

Medicine man lead me up through town - Indian ground - so far down

Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool

Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs

Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream

A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep climbing up

Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear

San Jacinto - I hold the line

San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line

And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker

I hold the line - I hold the line

San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun

We will walk - on the land

We will breathe - of the air

We will drink - from the stream

We will live - hold the line
Digging In The DirtVer letra 6:08

[X]
letra de Digging In The Dirt
Something in me, dark and sticky

All the time it's getting strong

No way of dealing with this feeling

Can't go on like this too long

[Chorus:]

This time you've gone too far [x3]

I told you [x4]

This time you've gone too far [x3]

I told you [x4]

Don't talk back

Just drive the car

Shut your mouth

I know what you are

Don't say nothing

Keep your hands on the wheel

Don't turn around

This is for real

Digging in the dirt

Stay with me, I need support

I'm digging in the dirt

To find the places I got hurt

Open up the places I got hurt

The more I look, the more I find

As I close on in, I get so blind

I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes

I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

[Chorus]

I'm digging in the dirt

Stay with me I need support

I'm digging in the dirt

To find the places I got hurt

To open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt

To find the places we got hurt

Signal To NoiseVer letra 8:48

[X]
letra de Signal To Noise
you know the way that things go
when what you fight for starts to fall
and in that fuzzy picture
he writing stands out on the wall
so clearly on the wall

send out the signals deep and loud

and in this place, can you reassure me
with a touch, a smile - while the cradle's burning
all the while the world is turning to noise
oh the more that it's surrounding us
the more that it destroys
turn up the signal
wipe out the noise

send out the signals deep and loud

man i'm losing sound and sight
of all those who can tell me wrong from right
when all things beautiful and bright
sink in the night
yet there's still something in my heart
that can find a way
to make a start
to turn up the signal
wipe out the noise

wipe out the noise
wipe out the noise
you know that's it
you know that's it
receive and transmit
receive and transmit
receive and transmit
you know that's it
you know that's it
receive and transmit
you know that's it
you know that's it
receive and transmit

Mercy StreetVer letra 6:48

[X]
letra de Mercy Street
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see

Are the dreams all made solid

Are the dreams all made real

All of the buildings, all of those cars

Were once just a dream

In somebody's head

She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam

She pictures a soul

With no leak at the seams

Let's take the boat out

Wait until darkness

Let's take the boat out

Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey

Nowhere in the suburbs

In the cold light of day

There in the midst of it so alive and alone

Words support like bone

Dreaming of mercy street

Wear your inside out

Dreaming of mercy

In your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of mercy street

'Swear they moved that sign

Dreaming of mercy

In your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth

Tugging at the darkness, word upon word

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box

To the priest, he's the doctor

He can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble in the hips

Of kissing Mary's lips

Dreaming of mercy street

Wear your insides out

Dreaming of mercy

In your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of mercy street

I 'swear they moved that sign

Looking for mercy

In your daddy's arms

Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Anne, with her father is out in the boat

Riding the water

Riding the waves on the sea
The Rhythm Of The HeatVer letra 6:55

[X]
letra de The Rhythm Of The Heat
Looking out the window

I see the red dust clear

High upon the red rock

Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong

Strong beneath my feet

it feeds on the blood

it feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm is around me

The rhythm has control

The rhythm is inside me

The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

Drawn across the plainland

To the place that is higher

Drawn into the circle

That dances round the fire

We spit into our hands

And breathe across the palms

Raising them up high

Help open to the sun

Self-conscious, uncertain

I'm showered with the dust

The spirit enters into me

And I submit to trust

Smash the radio

No outside voices here

Smash the watch

Cannot tear the day to shreds

Smash the camera

Cannot steal away the spirits

The rhythm is around me

The rhythm has control

The rhythm is inside me

The rhythm has my soul
Blood Of EdenVer letra 6:36

[X]
letra de Blood Of Eden
I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
They're heated and they're holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying

[Chorus:]
In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Oh the union of the woman
The woman and the man

My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes, I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand

[Chorus]

At my request, you take me in
In that tenderness, I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden
We wanted the union
Of the woman and the man

In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman
And the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman
And the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden
We've done everything we can
In the blood of Eden
Saw the end as we began
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
It was all for the union
Oh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man.

[extra lyrics from the "film mix"]

The blood of eden keeps running through me
running through my veins
the blood of eden keeps rushing through me
when I'm sure there's none that remains
the blood of eden keeps running through me
I can feel it in my bones
that blood of eden keeps rushing through me
taking back what it owns
Red RainVer letra 7:05

[X]
letra de Red Rain
red rain is coming down

red rain

red rain is pouring down

pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream

I cannot make a single sound as you scream

it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch

this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

red rain is coming down

red rain

red rain is pouring down

pouring down all over me

well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town

they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down

there is no blood around see no sign of pain

hay ay ay no pain

seeing no red at all, see no rain

red rain is coming down

red rain

red rain is pouring down

pouring down all over me

red rain

putting the pressure on much harder now

to return again and again

just let the red rain splash you

let the rain fall on your skin

I come to you defences down

with the trust of a child

red rain is coming down

red rain

red rain is pouring down

pouring down all over me

and I can't watch any more

no more denial

it's so hard to lay down in all of this

red rain is coming down

red rain is pouring down

red rain is coming down all over me

I see it

red rain is coming down

red rain is pouring down

red rain is coming down all over me

I'm bathing in it

red rain coming down

red rain is coming down

red rain is coming down all over me

I'm begging you

red rain coming down

red rain coming down

red rain coming down

red rain coming down

over me in the red red sea

over me

over me

red rain
Solsbury HillVer letra 6:21

[X]
letra de Solsbury Hill
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(Back home.)

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
In Your EyesVer letra 8:29

letra de In Your Eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

When I want to run away

I drive off in my car

But whichever way I go

I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return

And the grand facade, so soon will burn

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

In your eyes

The light the heat

In your eyes

I am complete

In your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

In your eyes

The resolution of all the fruitless searches

In your eyes

I see the light and the heat

In your eyes

Oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light

The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain

So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return

And the grand facade, so soon will burn

Without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

In your eyes

The light the heat

In your eyes

I am complete

In your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

In your eyes

The resolution of all the fruitless searches

In your eyes

I see the light and the heat

In your eyes

Oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light,

The heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes in your eyes

In your eyes in your eyes

In your eyes in your eyes
