letra de I Might Be Crying
What didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It is such a simple sentiment

To steal the show

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be losing you

And still I wouldn't know

And now I suck up to the pale moonlight

Like it's gonna lead me home

And I shiver in my tired clothes

As if that could keep me warm

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you

'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you up there

What I didn't know back then

Is how great the sin

How time goes so slowly

When you're cheating on a friend

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be needing you

Yeah, I might be needing you

The need it doesn't end

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I breathe the dirty air

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you

'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you there

What I didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It's such a simple sentiment

To steal the show

letra de Bloodlines
You can't call hell

A quiet town

But you walked so shell-shocked

Have you found a way to stand?

Your head is high

You have, oh, such curious hands

Did they mantion?

Special faces

And your young mind

And foreign places

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know they have no answers

But their bloodlines

Can you call?

This land a friend

You looked so hopeful

Have you found a way to send this soul

To, oh, such a curious end

For this sadness

Am I made strong?

For my sadness

Must be shared by someone

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know I have no answers

But my bloodlines

To know that I am not the only one

To know that my love is for everyone

To hold it in my heart

To hold it in my heart

To hold it in my heart

And I wonder

Where you come from

I know I have no answers

But my bloodlines

Feeding the WitchesVer letra 5:15

letra de Feeding the Witches
If I won't be able

To hold a good conversation

If I feel big and ballooning

If I turn up today

If I can't be appreciated

I won't be 'preciated at all

And if I look red and confusing

Well, I am all of the above

'Cause, I've been

Feeding the witches

Feeding them straw

Feeding the witches

The witches

The witches

Who live next door

You'd think

They'd have no milk, they'd

Have no honey

You'd think

They would prefer petroleum

You'd think

They'd have rat's eyes

Not like aunt Sally

Yeah, you'd think

They wouldn't smile just like your mum

Since I've been

Feeding the witches

Feeding them straw

I am

Falling for witches

The witches

Who live next door

They live next door

They live next door

If I start wrong too drunk to continue

And if can't shout

I can't do things I used to

I'll be

Joining the witches

Feeding them straw

I'll be feeding the witches

The witches

Yes I'll be

Joining the witches

Feeding them straw, I'll be

Joining the witches

The witches who live next door

letra de Happy Taxi
Criss-cross laces

You have the centre

You have the cinnamon

In the centre

You shouldn't be alone

You should just pick up yourself

And shine yourself

And make yourself fit a bran new maybe

In the side streets

You been walking

I have been walking too

So, you know the faces

You know how they'll flirt with you

Well, I know my favourite language

Well, it trickles down my mouth

If this is me

Being close to you

Being somewhere like the last night we spend together

That is something next to nothing

That is something

So, I got my truth of many colours

I got my fears

Another shade

But when I'm riding my happy taxi

I guess I got it made

Who's that creeping?

In the street there

Who's that creeping?

By your window

She might know something

She might show you some things

You never really want to share forever

Mean forever

'Cause it feels so slow

We drove out like something special

In our special rags

Well, I know that something special happens!

When we drive our sad to happy

We go driving

In our happy taxi

In our happy taxi

I am not the

First street preacher

Not the first to

Want to lead you

Not the first to

Leave your money

Not the first to

Leave your home

Not the first to

Leave forever

Glad to go

When love has gone

So where am I going?

Where am I going tonight?

So where am I staying?

In my happy moonlight

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

Would you drive on down

Would you drive on down

Would you drive on down

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

letra de My Love Tonight
And I

Go dancing for a little

Have never felt so little

Fear the stars in their eyes

You feel them lie

So close

You never dare to breathe

You never dare the stars

In their eyes

Their eyes

Am I?

Supposed to even say

Suppose I even say

I see they're lovers eyes

Their love tonight

So loose

It never seemed so much

It never seemed so

So why?

So why?

My love tonight

And I

Will never need this much

Will never see the moon so starry eyed

My love tonight

My love and I

My love and I

letra de Lovers in the City
I'd never call this an unpleasant situation

I'd never teach you how to lie

But sometimes I have been walking numb

And I must catch myself before I cry

Before I cry

I never call anything ugly

I never call anything strange and alone

I never want to, take things lightly

Like they have never been my own

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright

I always thought you'd feel it too

But sometimes I have been making conversation

And I must catch myself

Before I'm down

I'm down on you

I never think they would be scaring me

Scared couples in the cold

They look so fine in their eagerness

I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I'm staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you

I'd be far too scared to try

But sometimes I have been talking dumb

And I forget myself

And I forget myself

And don't ask, why?

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

Yodelling SongVer letra 3:34

letra de Yodelling Song
The first time you stole flowers from the grave

Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved

By the very friendly, Jesus man

And all he said, "Well, I'm your brother, man"

In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs

In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown

And they didn't ask you where you got the candy

No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan

In the morning time we played travels in the sea

In the evening time we had reduced the sea to me

But your mother saved us from your daddy's hand

Yeah, your mother saved us from your daddy's hand

From your daddy

From your daddy

With my adult mind

You know my body feels so strange

If they'd only sign away my life to me

I could be much saner

If they'd only learn to let me

Freedom seek

The world would be less mean

But they never know how to let you go

But they never know how to leace me

Yodel - ee

Yod - el - ee

Wonderful ShadowVer letra 6:11

letra de Wonderful Shadow
You've a beautiful body and a wonderful mind

These are things I've been stumbling towards

And I think you've been kind towards me

There are wonderful moments

The gifts I've received

And the knowledge is hurting

But I guess it comes back to the things that you no longer need

I'm an evil young hustler

To be so curious

These are evil young thoughts here

To be so jealous, so jealous

When a beautiful thought can

Can be just thrown away

'Cause I tell you - I'm used to looking and turning my back on them

Some things you say

Just to be sociable

And somethings you feel

'Cause you're young and you're gullible

And sometimes I'm watching

Sometimes I'm too scared

And sometimes I'm able, I'm useful

I'm holding you

Holding you

You've a beautiful body

And a wonderful mind

These are things I've been stumbling towards

And I think you've been kind towards me

I'm a wonderful shadow

Whose sweetness is brief

For there's nothing like lovers

Who cry in the night

Wanting to need you

And wanting to need you

And hoping that you'll feel it too

Yes, you

Women Who Cheat on the WorldVer letra 5:08

letra de Women Who Cheat on the World
Oh, my

When you are not all together

And you feel your face is a fiery place

For many tears

Who looks upon a picture and really feels a thrill

Oh, not me

Who looks into their past and feels they could leave

And you'd think by looking at his soul

That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Oh, my

When you are not really moving

And you feel your feet have been put to sleep

For many years

Who looks into a city

And really feels at home

Oh, not me

Who looks into the dark

And yearns to be free

And you'd think by looking at his soul

That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Boy

A lot of things are very simple

A lot of things are logical

When held into your hands

Boy

A lot of things are very simple

A lot of things are very simple

And they fall apart

When they fall apart

Oh, my

When you are not really living

And you feel your heart

Is the biggest part of all your fears

Who looks upon a lover and really feels desire

Oh, not me

Who looks into themselves and likes what they see

And you'd think by looking at his soul

That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

Who'd cheat on the world

letra de Leaving the Party
Give me a reason

For leaving the party

I'll leave by the entrance

The same way I came

I'm not

Here to enjoy you, I'm

Here to endure you

I'm leaving the party

The same way I came

It's so fine

Stormin' across the sea

It's alright

What the drunk is explaining to me

It's OK - I haven't seen anyone at all

It's all night

I've been waiting

It's all night

I've been waiting

Give me a reason

For leaving the party

I'll leave by the entrance

The same way I came

I'm not

Here to enjoy you, I'm

Here to endure you

I'm leaving the party

The same way I came

It's alright

These are my oldest suede shoes

It's alright

I feel Elvisy

I get the blues too

It's OK

But I will pass upon this pipe

It's OK

Since I don't see anyone tonight

Give me a reason

For leaving the party

I'll leave by the entrance

The same way I came

I'm not

Here to enjoy you, I'm

Here to endure you

I'm leaving the party

The same way I came

It's so fine

Sharing your stories with me

It's alright in explaining

I still get to sleep with me

It's OK

I haven't seen anyone at all

It's all night

I've been waiting

It's all night

I've been waiting

Give me a reason

For leaving the party

I'll leave by the entrance

The same way I came

I'm not

Here to enjoy you, I'm

Here to endure you

I'm leaving the party

The same way I came
