    letra de Moribund The Burgermeister

    Caught in the chaos in the market square
    I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there
    Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways
    The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze
    Ah, look at that crowd!

    Some are jumping up in the air - say "We're drowning in a torrent of blood!"
    Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud
    Oh Mother! It's eating out my soul
    Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control

    What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone
    Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone
    Ah, look at them go!

    Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds
    "This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm gonna keep this monster down,
    Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of down."
    No-one will tell what all this is about
    But I will find out.
    (I will find out. I will find out.)

    This thing's really outrageous, I tell you on the level
    It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil
    You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play
    Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way.
    Ah, close the doors!

    "We've tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures,"
    Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws,
    Check if you can disconnect the effect and I'll go after the cause
    No-one will tell what this is all about
    But I will find out
    I will.

    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."

  3. Modern LoveVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Modern Love

    Hey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean
    All you can give is a spin in your washing machine
    I fly off to Rome to my prima bella
    She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella
    Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeated]

    I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
    But the pearls in her oyster were tacky as hell
    For Lady Godiva I came incognito
    But her driver had stolen her red hot magneto
    Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeated]

    I don't know why they leave me in the lurch
    To carry on the search
    It's driving me up the wall
    Pity when I have so much passion
    Romance is out of fashion
    Can't handle modern love at all

    So I worship Diana by the light of the moon
    When I pull out my pipe she screams out of tune
    In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
    She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer
    Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeat till fade]

  4. Excuse MeVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Excuse Me

    Excuse me
    You're wearing out my joie de vie
    Grabbing those good years again
    I want to be alone

    Excuse me
    I'm not the man I used to be
    Someone else crept in again
    I want to be alone

    Excuse me please
    I'm looking for Lost Angeles
    Soaking up the sin again
    I want to be alone

    You got the money back, that's okay
    Who needs a Cadillac anyway
    I got the medicine, make you see the light
    Call me in Alaska if it all turns out right (Allright)

    Excuse me please
    You're standing on my memories
    Stealing souvenirs again
    I want to be alone
    Leave me alone, I wanna be alone... [repeated several times]

    You got the money back, that's okay
    Who needs a Cadillac anyway
    I got the medicine, (to) make you see the light
    Call me in Alaska, if it all turns out right

  5. HumdrumVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Humdrum

    I saw the man at J.F.K

    He took your ticket yesterday

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    I ride tandem with a random

    Things don't run the way I planned them

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    Hey Valentina, do you want me to beg?

    You got me cooking

    I'm a hard boiled egg

    In the humdrum



    Empty my mind

    I find it hard to cope

    Listen to my heart

    Don't need no stethoscope



    It seems to me that television

    She come to cut me a deep incision

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    Empty my mind

    I find it hard to cope

    Listen to my heart

    Don't need no stethoscope



    Out of woman comes the man

    Spend the rest of his life getting back where he can

    As a bow, so a dove

    As below, so above

    From the black hole

    Come the tadpole

    With the dark soul

    In coal she burn, she burn





    As I drove into the sun

    Didn't dare look where I had begun

    Lost among echoes of things not there

    Watching the sound forming shapes in the air

    From the white star

    Came the bright scar

    Our amobea

    My little liebe schoen

  6. SlowburnVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Slowburn

    We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
    Bewildered, burned out hardly able
    To sit astride the high wire cable
    It's hard to balance, a little unstable.

    Through broken eyes and contact lenses
    (I) Watched you draw your future tenses
    See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
    You're back telling me your Apocalypse.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
    When the slowburn sunset come along
    You've gotta stay the night
    I gotta think that you might.

    We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
    We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
    (But) the words fell like hailstones,
    bouncing at our feet,
    Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.

    A chance to move, I take a shot
    I get cold - you get hot
    We look outside, lyin' awake
    See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.

    But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
    When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
    Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong
    When the slow burn sunset come along
    You've got to stay the night
    I've got to think that you might.

    Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
    Darlin' we've got to trust in something
    We're shooting down our skies
    shooting down (shooting down) our skies
    (shooting down our ...)

  7. Waiting For The Big OneVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Waiting For The Big One

    The wine's all drunk and so am I
    Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why
    We're celebratin' anticipatin'; end of the year
    everybody come, everybody here
    - well more or less
    Some already in a mess
    I guess they're waiting for the big one.

    Wonder why I'm cold. How did I get this far?
    Had no money, had no car
    I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles
    'cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals
    - like the man says,
    Sure hope Moses knows his roses
    Or we'll all be waiting for the big one.

    Once I was the credit to my credit card
    spent what I hadn't got, (it) wasn't hard
    No trust in judgement no trust in money
    Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey
    But in the meantime
    I'm gonna have me some fun
    Waiting for the big one.

    One too many, where ego I go too
    Looking for the real thing
    It don't come from what I do
    No real communication moves out of my face
    I'm beginning to think I'm just out of place
    Won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep
    To be ready for the big one
    To be ready for the big one

  8. Down The Dolce VitaVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Down The Dolce Vita

    "Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!
    "Get back, we don't have time
    'Cos I hear we're sending off the heroes
    When the yera goes, (they're) out of the bay,
    Trying to find a way
    to make it alive"

    "So long," said four men to their families
    "Be strong till we get back home
    And if not, take care of all the children
    Until then just hope and pray
    We're gonna find a way
    to make it alive"

    "You guys are crazy!"

    They shout and then we leave the harbour.
    In doubt, they're acting weird
    And the sea is whipping up a welcome
    If hell come we're all easy prey,
    Trying to find a way
    to make it alive"

    "You guys are crazy!"

    The captain's hand shook for
    the guys to get in place
    He said, "Let's look behind your face".
    With each corner covered, they were all around
    Waiting for the midnight bell to sound.

    "Out of sight," cried Aeron through his glasses
    "Don't fight" said Gorham's smile

    All the while, his hand was on my shoulder
    I was scared of being an easy prey,

    Trying to find a way
    to make it alive"

    (I won't be easy prey trying to find a way to make it alive.)

  9. Here Comes The FloodVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Here Comes The Flood

    When the night shows
    the signals grow on radios
    All the strange things
    they come and go, as early warnings
    Stranded starfish have no place to hide
    still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
    There's no point in direction we cannot
    even choose a side.

    I took the old track
    the hollow shoulder, across the waters
    On the tall cliffs
    they were getting older, sons and daughters
    The jaded underworld was riding high
    Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
    and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain
    was warm and soaked the crowd.

    Lord, here comes the flood
    We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
    If again the seas are silent
    in any still alive
    It'll be those who gave their island to survive
    Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

    When the flood calls
    You have no home, you have no walls
    In the thunder crash
    You're a thousand minds, within a flash
    Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
    The actors gone, there's only you and me
    And if we break before the dawn, they'll
    use up what we used to be.

    Lord, here comes the flood
    We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
    If again the seas are silent
    in any still alive
    It'll be those who gave their island to survive
    Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

    [Repeat chorus once]
