- InsideVer letra
[X]Inside the doors are sealed to loveletra de Inside
inside my heart is sleeping
inside the fingers of my glove
inside the bones of my right hand
inside it's colder than the stars
inside the dogs are weeping
inside the circus of the wind
inside the clocks are filled with sand
inside she'll never hurt me
inside the winter's creeping
inside the compass of the night
inside the folding of the land
Outside the stars are turning
outside the world's still burning
Inside my head's a box of stars i never dared to open
inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall
inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken
inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call
Outside the rain keeps falling
outside the drums are calling
outside the flood won't wait
outside they're hammering down the gate
Love is the child of an endless war
love is an open wound still raw
love is a shameless banner unfurled
love's an explosion,
love is the fire of the world
love is a violent star
a tide of destruction
love is an angry scar
a violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation.
Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me
inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place
inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows
inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face
Outside the walls are shaking
inside the dogs are waking
outside the hurricane won't wait
inside they're howling down the gate
Love is the child of an endless war
love is an open wound still raw
love is a shameless banner unfurled
love's an explosion,
love is the fire at the end of the world
love is a violent star
a tide of destruction
love is an angry scar
the pain of instruction
love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation,
love is annihilation.
I climb this tower inside my head
a spiral stair above my bed
i dream the stairs don't ask me why,
i throw myself into the sky
Love me like a baby, love me like an only child
love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild
love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son
love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun
love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy,
love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy
love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,
love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.
Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me, mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me, vindicate me, devastate me
Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun
love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run
Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me, conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me - Send Your LoveVer letra
Músicos invitados: Vicente Amigo (Guitar [Flamenco])[X]Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sandletra de Send Your Love
and holding infinities in the palm of your hand
and heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower
and eternities in the space of a single hour
Send your love into the future
send your love into the distant dawn
Inside your mind is a relay station
a mission probe into the unknowing
we send a seed to a distant future
then we can watch the galaxies growing
This ain't no time for doubting your power
this ain't no time for hiding your care
you're climbing down from an ivory tower
you've got a stake in the world we ought to share
You see the stars are moving so slowly
but still the earth is moving so fast
can't you see the moon is so lonely
she's still trapped in the pain of the past
This is the time of the worlds colliding
this is the time of kingdoms falling
this is the time of the worlds dividing
time to heed your call
Send your love into the future
send your precious love into some distant time
and fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
send your love
send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
there's no religion but sound and dancing
there's no religion but line and color
there's no religion but sacred trance
There's no religion but the endless ocean
there's no religion but the moon and stars
there's no religion but time and motion
there's no religion, just tribal scars
Throw a pebble in and watch the ocean
see the ripples vanish in the distance
it's just the same with all the emotions
it's just the same in every instance
There's no religion but the joys of rhythm
there's no religion but the rites of spring
there's no religion in the path of hate
no prayer but the one i sing
Send your love into the future
send your precious love into some distant time
and fix that wounded planet with the love of your healing
send your love
send your love
There's no religion but sex and music
there's no religion that's right or winning
there's no religion in the path of hatred
ain't no prayer but the one i'm singing
Send your love
send your love - Whenever I Say Your NameVer letra
Featuring: Mary J. Blige[X]Whenever i say your name, whenever i call to mind your faceletra de Whenever I Say Your Name
whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that i taste
whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
whenever i'm filled with doubts that we will be together
Wherever i lay me down, wherever i put my head to sleep
whenever i hurt and cry, whenever i got to lie awake and weep
whenever i kneel to pray, whenever i need to find a way
i'm calling out your name
Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
whenever this world has gotten so strange
i know that something's gonna change
something's gonna change
Whenever i say your name, whenever i say your name, i'm already praying, i'm already praying
i'm already filled with a joy that i can't explain
wherever i lay me down, wherever i rest my weary head to sleep
whenever i hurt and cry, whenever i got to lie awake and weep
whenever i'm on the floor
whatever it was that i believed before
whenever i say your name, whenever i say it loud, i'm already praying
Whenever this world has got me down, whenever i shed a tear
whenever the tv makes me mad, whenever i'm paralyzed with fear
whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever i lose the reason why
whenever i'm filled with doubts that we will be together
Whenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain
whatever i lost i thought was mine whenever i close my eyes in pain
whenever i kneel to pray, whenever i need to find a way
i'm calling out your name
Whenever this dark begins to fall
whenever i'm vulnerable and small
whenever i feel like i could die
whenever i'm holding back the tears that i cry
Whenever i say your name, whenever i call to mind your face
i'm already praying
whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that i taste
wherever i lay me down, wherever i rest my weary head to sleep
whenever i hurt and cry, whenever i'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
whenever i'm on the floor
whatever it was that i believed before
whenever i say your name, whenever i say it loud, i'm already praying
Whenever i say your name,
no matter how long it takes,
one day we'll be together
Whenever i say your name,
let there be no mistake
that day will last forever - Dead Man´s Rope
- Never Coming HomeVer letra
[X]Well it's five in the morning and the light's already brokenletra de Never Coming Home
and the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers
and you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers
There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour
and you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
as you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him
and you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
but the part of you that knows that you can't take it any more
there's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
and you're torn if you should leave him with a number
And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away
because too many of his promises got broken on the way
so you write it in a letter all the things you couldn't say
and you tell him that you're never coming home
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's right
and there's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night
a place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day
she'll take a job she'll find a friend she'll make a life that's better
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
and there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her
there's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
she'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her
Now in her imagination she's a million miles away
when too many of his promises got broken on the way
so she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say
and she told him she was never coming home
she told him she was never coming home
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head
i call her name there's no reply it's not like her to let me lie
it's time for work it's time to go but something's different i don't know
i need a cup of coffee i'll feel better
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
it really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face
i'm not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
i'm almost done and then i see the letter
In his imagination she's a universe away
too many of his promises got broken on the way
so she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say
and she told him she was never coming home,
she told him she was never coming home,
she told him she was never coming home
I'm gonna live my life
and she told him she was never coming home
i'm gonna live my life in my own way - Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)
- Forget About the FutureVer letra
[X]I know we got some historyletra de Forget About the Future
we got some issues that we need to solve
but is it really such a mystery?
it's just the way that the world evolves
let me ask your forgiveness baby
my heart is ever full of sorrow
we got to move into the future maybe
and think about a new tomorrow
She said you know i used to love you baby
but you're thinking way too fast
so forget about the future
and let's get on with the past
So they called a ‘nited nations summit
to negotiate for peace on earth
and it may be idealistic baby
but i know what peace of mind is worth
everybody aired their grievances
and they threw away the suture
they opened up all the wounds of the past
as they failed to find their way to the future
They said we'd better check the weather chart
before we tie our colors to this mast
it's just too hard thinking about the future baby
so let's just get on with the past
She said we'd better check the horoscope honey
just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last
it's just too hard thinking about the future
so let's just get on with the past
How many times you ever hear me say
i'm as flawed as any other human being?
there simply has to be a different way
and a whole new way of seeing
are we doomed by all our history?
is our love really beyond repair?
it's getting close to midnight baby
and we ain't got time to spare
Just when i think i'm home and dry
and she's given up the fight
there's an unmistakable optimism
in romantic music and candlelight
there's this lingering perfume
the merest ghost of the past
she says wait a minute baby
you're moving way too fast
we'd better check the weather chart
before we raise this mast
we'd best consult our horoscope
in case this feeling wasn't meant to last
let's just forget about the future
and get on with the past - This WarVer letra
[X]You've got the mouth of a she wolfletra de This War
inside the mask of an innocent lamb
you say your heart is all compassion
but there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
Yet you always made a profit baby
if it was a famine or a feast
Yes, i'm the soul of indiscretion,
i was cursed with x-ray vision,
i could see right through all the lies you told,
when you smiled for the television
And you can see the coming battle
you pray the drums will never cease
and you may win this war that's coming
but would you tolerate the peace?
Investing in munitions
and those little cotton flags
invest in wooden caskets
in guns and body bags, guns and body bags
Your daddy was a businessman
and it always made good sense
you know the war can make you rich my friend
in dollars, pounds and cents
In the temple that was mammon's
you were ordained the parish priest
yes you may win this coming battle
but could you tolerate the peace?
Invest in deadly weapons
and those little cotton flags
invest in wooden caskets
in guns and body bags
you're invested in oppression
investing in corruption
invest in every tyranny
and the whole world's destruction
I imagine there's a future
when all the earthly wars are over
you may find yourself just standing there
on the white cliffs of dover
You may ask, what does it profit a man
to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
is that your body you see on the rocks below
as the tide begins to roll?
And you invested in this prison
from which you never got released
you may have won this war we're fighting
but would you tolerate the peace?
There's a war on our democracy
a war on our dissent
there's a war inside religion
and what jesus might have meant
There's a war on mother nature
a war upon the seas
there's a war upon the forests
on the birds and the bees
There's a war on education
a war on information
a war between the sexes
and every nation
A war on our compassion
a war on understanding
a war on love and life itself
it's war that they're demanding
Make it easy on yourself
and don't do nothing - The Book of My LifeVer letra
Músicos invitados: Anoushka Shankar (Sitar)[X]Let me watch by the fire and remember my daysletra de The Book of My Life
and it may be a trick of the firelight
but the flickering pages that trouble my sight
is a book i'm afraid to write
It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
and it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
and it's all there to see as the section reveals
there's some sorrow in every life
If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
then i won't understand ‘til the end of my days
i'm still forced to remember,
remember the words of my life
There are promises broken and promises kept
angry words that were spoken, when i should have wept
there's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
if i lose everything that i possess
there's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
there's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
there are sentences served in a prison i built out of lies.
Though the pages are numbered
i can't see where they lead
for the end is a mystery no-one can read
in the book of my life
There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
there are pages of conflicts that nobody won
and the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
there's a page where we fail to meet
There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
there's a chapter on god that i don't understand
there's a promise of heaven and hell but i'm damned if i see
Though the pages are numbered
i can't see where they lead
for the end is a mystery no-one can read
in the book of my life
Now the daylight's returning
and if one sentence is true
all these pages are burning
and all that's left is you
Though the pages are numbered
i can't see where they lead
for the end is a mystery no-one can read
in the book of my life - Sacred LoveVer letra
[X]Take off those working clothesletra de Sacred Love
put on these high heeled shoes
don't want no preacher on the tv baby
don't want to hear the news
Shut out the world behind us
put on your long black dress
no one's ever gonna find us here
just leave your hair in a mess
i've been searching long enough
i begged the moon and the stars above
for sacred love
I've been up, i've been down
i've been lonesome, in this godless town
you're my religion, you're my church
you're the holy grail at the end of my search
have i been down on my knees for long enough?
i've been searching the planet to find
sacred love
The spirit moves on the water
she takes the shape of this heavenly daughter
she's rising up like a river in flood
the word got made into flesh and blood
the sky grew dark, and the earth she shook
just like a prophecy in the holy book
thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal
thou shalt not doubt that this love is real
so i got down on my knees and i prayed to the skies
when i looked up could i trust my eyes?
all the saints and angels and the stars up above
they all bowed down to the flower of creation
every man every woman
every race every nation
it all comes down to this
sacred love
Don't need no doctor, don't need no pills
i got a cure for the country's ills
here she comes like a river in flood
the word got made into flesh and blood
thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill
but if you don't love her your best friend will
All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above
it all comes down, it all comes down
it all comes down to love,
Take off your working clothes
put on your long black dress
and your high heeled shoes
just leave your hair in a mess
I've been thinking 'bout religion
i've been thinking 'bout the things that we believe
i've been thinking 'bout the bible
i've been thinking 'bout adam and eve
i've been thinking 'bout the garden
i've been thinking 'bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life
i've been thinking 'bout forbidden fruit
i've been thinking 'bout a man and his wife
I been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
sacred love, sacred love…
