    [X]

    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

  2. WallflowerVer letra 7:25

    [X]

    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

  3. The Boy In The BubbleVer letra 4:33

    [X]

    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

  4. Après MoiVer letra 5:26

    [X]

    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 ...

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. BikoVer letra 6:52

    [X]

    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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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

    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."

    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
