閃靈樂團-塞德克巴萊 (2003)

這是閃靈遠赴丹麥錄製的專輯，並力邀「哥德公主」陳珊妮獻聲演唱。閃靈把「霧社事件」─原住民領袖莫那魯道力抗日本軍隊的故事、結合原住民族的古老傳說，改編成悽美壯絕的重金屬交響詩，鎔鑄成這張波瀾壯闊的概念專輯，是台灣絕無僅有的「交響黑金屬」風格。

黥面卸

卸下紋面 難道真能求得族人的生存
抑或 只是讓賽德克魂隨著落櫻凋謝

寒風 凜冽四百年
外族 絡繹更迭
Sukuladan 依舊高聳
濁流　悽浪不絕
風中祖靈之手
輕撫母島哀愁
萬代　榮之黥面
隨落櫻　漸漸凋謝
群山　母島軸心聳
迷霧　曲迴直入峰
臨天　山之子民
賽德克　隨風飄曳
寒風 凜冽四百年
外族 絡繹更迭
Sukuladan依舊高聳
濁流　悽浪不絕
賽德克　斷魂痛切
Bunohon群山
數百載遭外族掠奪
族人印紋
啟印下未能捍衛一天山河
消逝中未曾帶來一撇暖風
Poso Kofuni巨木
殘風中祖靈戒示絲扣
賽德克魂
赤日軍國下如何一天堅守
凋零後望能引導族人嚮虹
黥面掀　霧城裊煙
隨峰櫻謝




半屍．橫氣山林

這一裊輕煙
未曾消逝於間
正氣眷顧著 這祖靈之島
永遠

數載秋冬 林風仍刺隆
陰遊萬迴 賽德克英氣未滅
外族百載迭更替
山雪疊伺迷霧還披
魂魄隨片罩雪頂
虹橋依存 待吾族跟永生
巨岩風魄縱橫層森
獵首笛音幽躍溪河
祖靈千年誡示若未湮滅
應是戰神莫那長喚聲
數載秋冬 皓雪落 颯聲陳
巖木之子英魂陰遊萬迴
外族百載迭更替
山雪疊伺迷霧還披
魂魄隨非櫻繞嵩林
虹橋依存 待吾族跟永生
馬赫坡巖窟斷崖上
碧血英魂牽萬丈

半屍靈魄高懸 橫氣山林 魂貫日月)

U2 - U218 Singles (2006)

U2在高中就讀時青澀模樣的照片

成軍30週年的超級樂團 U2，與年輕的"green day"破天荒合作翻唱蘇格蘭龐克團體 The Skids在1980年代的成名曲"The Saints are coming"，是主要為紐奧爾良災區的音樂人募款，所有款項將全部作為災區樂手購買樂器的基金。而這首" The Saints are coming"也將收錄在 U2發行的精選輯" U2 18 SINGLES"中。說到這張" U2 18 SINGLES"專輯，我想絕對不是為了滿足U2分布在任何一個年齡層的基本教義派歌迷的收藏癖，最重要的原因應該是唱片公司為了歲末迎新的唱片市場撈錢。還好專輯裡有U2的"國歌"："War"專輯裡紀念愛爾蘭血腥暴動的"Sunday Bloody Sunday"，用情歌影射政治，獻給波蘭"團結工聯"的"New Year’s Day"，超級經典專輯"Joshua Tree"裡那三首廣播電台百播不爛的"With Or Without You"、" Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For"和"Where The Streets Have No Name"及2000年"All That You Can’t Leave Behind"裡的四首成人抒情單曲，還有Bono在1998年U2第一張的精選集"The Best Of 1980-1990"裡重新灌錄，據說是1987年在製作"Joshua Tree"專輯時，因為忘記妻子生日，為賠罪而寫的"Sweetest Thing"。限量版附贈長約一小時的DVD是2005年他們在米蘭舉辦的演唱會精華；片尾Bono在演唱穿上了印有倫敦地鐵標誌的T恤，紀念在演唱會舉辦前一星期死於地鐵爆炸案的犧牲者。

Sonic Youth-The Destroyed Room: B-Sides and Rarities(2006)

時常會把sonic youth 與紐約的"No Wave"藝術表演和"No Wave"音樂表演相聯繫，The Destroyed Room: B-Sides and Rarities這張大碟對現在唱片界來說真是太難得的一張噪聲實驗專輯，有人認為八0年代末期的吉他噪音經過九0年代整整10幾年的不斷改良與發展，樂手們越來越聰明，效果器也越來越進步，回過頭去聽以前的 Sonic Youth，常常覺得有點老氣或過時，這是我深深極為不同意的。就像吉他手Thurston Moore在1991年接受"Guitar Player"訪問表示，他從來不注意和弦和音階，只是嘗試按出好聽的聲音，「我很喜歡彈NEIL YOUNG，雖然只有三個和弦，但是我還是彈不出來。..就算現在開始練，練到五十歲，還是有可能練不出一個很屌的版本；所以我開始重新調弦、實驗，嘗試創新。」搖滾樂之所以能夠到處流竄，怎麼弄都不會死，因為能打破規則，也就是創新吧。

The Wrens - The Meadowlands(2003)

這是一張非常棒的indie rock專輯，在Meadowlands裡沒有浮誇、虛偽，只有最原始的感情和音樂，13首歌都很愛，尤其超愛Hopeless，這支平均年齡逾40歲的樂團，鬱卒了7年(可以說是史上運氣最差的樂隊之ㄧ)，終於在2003年以Meadowlands揚眉吐氣。

Mew-Frengers (2003)

北歐丹麥的4人團體 Mew(海鷗)，1997年便已出版了他們的第一張專輯"A Triumph For Man"，當年只限量印製了二千張而已。然後一直到2003年出版的這張專輯"Frengers"，這應該算是Mew的第3張專輯，也是讓他們走出丹麥進軍世界的轉捩點，Frengers的意思是"Not Quite Friends, Not Quite Strangers"，今天所有的海鷗迷都自稱是Frengers，主唱Jonas Bjerre的聲音，高亢有點假音和童聲，但又冷靜內斂不張揚，這張專輯非常好評，尤其是Comforting Sounds，是那種聽了上百次還是會殺死人的歌曲，Frengers和2005年出版的專輯" And The Glass Handed Kites"比較起來，我還是鍾愛Frengers。

Still loving you

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

I'll fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you, I need your love
I'm still loving you


Wind Of Change

I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change


Holiday

Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday

Exchange the cold days for the sun
A good time and fun
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday

Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday

Exchange your troubles for some love
Wherever you are
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday

Longing for the sun you will come
To the island without name
Longing for the sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without name
Longing for the sun you will come
To the island many miles away from home


When the smoke is going down

Just when you make your way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
I've got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down


You And I

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes that is saying tonight
I’m not a child anymore, life has opened the door
To a new exciting life

I lose control whem i'm close to you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
there's something in your eyes, is this love at first sight
like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know
all the secrets of life

It’s all written down in your lifelines
It’s written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place, where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now, forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control don’t look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes that is saying tonight
I’m so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life

It’s all written down in your lifelines
It’s written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place, where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now, forever and a day

Time stands still when the days of innocence
Are falling for the night
I love you girl I always will
I swear I’m there for you
Till the day I die

Yeah

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place, where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now, forever and a day

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place, where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now, forever and a day


ALWAYS SOMEWHERE

Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again

I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

No One Like You

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you


Lady Starlight

Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
I dream about the summer days,
Love in the sun
And lonely bays

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love,
On one of these lonely winter nights

Dreaming through a winter night,
Memories of you are passing by
It seems to me like yesterday
I think you knew I couldn't stay

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
Snow dances with the wind
I wish, I could be with you again

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Lacrimosa

Alleine zu zweit

Am Ende der Wahrheit
Am Ende des Lichts
Am Ende der Liebe
Am Ende - da stehst Du
(Im Herzen wird es leerer - ein Teil geht nun von mir)
Nichts hat überlebt
Wir haben schweigend uns schon lange getrennt
Und mit jedem Tag "Wir"
Wuchs die Lüge unserer Liebe
Und je weiter wir den Weg zusammen gingen
Desto weiter haben wir uns voneinander entfernt

Einsam - gemeinsam
Wir haben verlernt uns neu zu suchen
Die Gewohnheit vernebelt
Die Trägheit erstickt
Der Hochmut macht trunken
Und die Nähe treibt zur Flucht

Tanz - mein Leben - tanz
Tanz mit mir
Tanz mit mir noch einmal
In den puren Rausch der nackten Liebe

Und wenn ich sie/ihn so sehe
Wenn ich sie/ihn erlebe
Wenn ich uns betrachte
Etwas hat überlebt
Und wenn ich Kraft und Hoffnung fände
Wenn ich selbst noch den Glauben an uns hätte
Wenn ich sie/ihn erreichen könnte
Sie/Ihn noch einmal für mich hätte
Wenn die Basis - unser Fundament
Wenn wir uns noch einmal neu entdecken würden
Wenn sie/er nur wollte
Ich will!


Halt mich

Aus schlaflos gelebtem Tagtraum erwacht
So bin ich der Sehnsucht Opfer
Aus kindgelebtem Vertrauen erwacht
So klaffen heute meine Wunden

Das Leben brennt mir von der Seele
Die Sehnsucht erfullt nur tapfer ihre Pflicht

Halt mich - mein Leben - halt mich!

Solange sich die Zeit noch regt
Die Zeiger sich noch drehen
Solange drehe auch ich noch meine Runden
Doch des Lebens süße Lust hat mich verlassen

Das Leben brennt mir von der Seele
Die Sehnsucht erfullt nur tapfer ihre Pflicht

Halt mich - mein Leben - halt mich!


The turning point

Poutaisat pilvet haihtuvat katoen nopesti tuulten mukana kuin tama uni
Jossa en enaa sinua tavoita on liian myohaista

In a dream I saw the world beyond - no tongues telling lies
The silence was covering everything inside
In a dream I saw myself - fallen down next to me
Couldn't crawl back inside my body

No laughter on my face - reality mirrored in the deep signs of life
Too long sacrificed my feelings to the ones
Who take all 'till there's nothing in the end

I'm not in my aim - I've gotta love also the other half of me
To reach the Turning point
As only in my dreams I'm my biggest enemy

Till I'd found out that I only loved your half in me
So much time I spent - not knowing myself
Too much love I'd given for everyone but nothing for me
My light was burning 'till the end

Now you showed me that two full halves make a stronger one
Also out of me and I feel the strength
Returning into me I new-found love again

Couldn't have been fighting alone
Thank you for hearing me on time
I bless you for the trust you gave
When I didn't admit being weak

I am close to my aim truly hoping
I won't fail
Before I reach The turning point
Where we're no longer the same

Didn't notice me change
Was not living the days without names
Now I'm here with you
To stay beyond
The turning point
Of my dreams

O found my aim - now I can face myself
Again
I thank you for
Loving me
And keeping us on the right way

Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz

Ich Verlasse Heut' Dein Herz
Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Nähe
Die Zuflucht Deiner Arme
Die Warme Deiner Haut
Wie Kinder waren wir
Spieler - Nacht fur Nacht
Dem Spiegel treu ergeben
So tanzten wir bis in den Tag

Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Liebe

Ich verlasse Deine Tränen
Verlasse was ich hab'
Ich anbefehle heut Dein Herz
Dem Leben - der Freiheit
Und der Liebe
So bin ich ruhig -
Da ich Dich liebe!

Im Stillen
Lass ich ab von Dir
Der letzte Kuss - im Geist verweht
Was Du denkst bleibst Du mir schuldig
Was ich fuhle das verdanke ich Dir
Ich danke Dir für all die Liebe
Ich danke Dir in Ewigkeit

Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Liebe
Ich verlasse Dein Herz
Dein Leben - Deine Kusse
Deine Warme - Deine Nahe -
Deine Zartlichkeit

Dich zu toeten fiel mir schwer

Und da bleibt kaum noch Luft
Und da bleibt kaum noch Raum
Und da bleibt keine Sehnsucht
Und das ist alles was mir bleibt
Ich muss hier raus - ich muss hier weg
Und doch - ich suche nur nach dir
Dem Leben das ich niemals fand
Das Leben - meiner Zuflucht Not
Ich habe dich nur verflucht
Und später und viel tiefer noch
Den Kuss nur zu versuchen
Du Licht meiner Seele

Und nun zu Dir -
Mein krankes Hirn
Konserviert im Saft der Zeit
Ich gab dir Blut aus meinem Herzen
Speiste dich mit Sinneskraft
Über vieles liess ich Dich walten
Gab selbst Dir die Macht uber mein Tun
Ich gab Dir Liebe -
Mein Vertrauen
Mein Freund -
Du tust mir weh
Und doch -
Es ist noch nicht vorbei

Noch höre ich
Deinen Atem
Und noch sehe ich
Das Zittern deiner Hande
Die Erinnerung beginnt zu leben
Beginnt erneut mich zu durchbohren
Und mein Herz im Stillen zu erobern
Mein Herz - Du braver Schmerz

Du hieltest mich am Leben
Und schlugst mich in der Qual
Und noch immer kann ich es nicht verstehen
Nein - es ist noch nicht vorbei
Noch sehe ich den Glanz in deinen Augen
Noch das Zucken deines Korpers
Doch das Töten fiel mir schwer
Ja - das Töten fiel mir schwer
Heute klingt dein Name wie ein leeres Buch
Wie ein nie erfülltes Versprechen
Dich zu töten fiel mir schwer
Ja - Dich zu töten fiel mir schwer
Für kurze Zeit warst du das Licht
Und warst mein Tor zur Welt
So liegst du nun in deinem Saft
Und stirbst langsam
Aus mir aus

Sanctus

Sanctus - Sanctus - Sanctus - Dominus
Deus deus Sabaoth - pleni sunt caeli et terra
Gloria tura - gloria tura

Und da warst Du -
Nicht am Licht das Dich umgab
Nein - am Schatten den ich warf
Habe ich Dich erkannt

Gloria tua - gloria tua

Und wir fielen - zusammen
Und wurden schlie_lich eins
In Farben ausgemacht
In Bildern still erdacht
Im Leben aufgewacht
Im Herzen neu entfacht
Licht und Liebe
Eingetaucht tief in die Nacht

Hasanna in excelsis
Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini

Sanctus dominus


Am Ende stehen wir zwei

Keine Kompromisse Keine stillen Tr?nen Keine K³sse deren Geschmack
mich zu Dir f³hrt Keine Wiederholung Keine T?uschung Keine
schmerzliche Ber³hrung aus der Vergangenheit Nur die Hoffnung einer
zweiten Chance Das ist alles was uns bleibt Eine zweite Chance f³r
Dich und mich Eine zweite Chance f³r uns zwei Du brauchst jetzt
nichts zu sagen Brauchst mich nicht zu lieben Ich habe Hoffnung f³r
uns beide Denn am Ende stehen wir zwei Die Musik dringt von weit her
an mich fremd Ich erkenne Dich nicht mehr Deine Liebe bleibt mir
heilig Dein Leben ist entflohen Ein Abschied ohne Ende Ein Kreuzgang
in Dein Herz Eine Liebe ohne Grenzen Eine W?rme ohne Licht So liegst
Du kalt und regungslos Und w?rmst noch immer mein Herz Meine
Hoffnung soll mich leiten Durch die Tage ohne Dich Und die liebe
soll mich tragen Wenn der Schmerz die Hoffnung bricht.

Goodbye, Goodbye

Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

#9 Dream

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?
Ah! b'wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Beautiful Boy

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean.

Watching The Wheels

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

Borrowed Time

When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Englishman In New York

I don't take coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York


Fragile

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Rock Steady

Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds like a ticket for you and I
It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip
To commune with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship
We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free
There was an old guy with a beard
And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see

This old guy was the boss, he said,
"I won't tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey that is apparent to the eye"
He said he'd heard God's message on the radio
It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go
"I'll protect you all don't worry I'll be a father to you all
I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small
But I'll need some assistants to look after the zoo
I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do"
I said, "Just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone
I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?"

"It's Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady"

It rained for forty days and forty long nights
I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend
Was being proved right
We had no time to worry though there was just to much to do
Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo
We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too
We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo
She said, "Hey Baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man is on some power trip"
I said, "No, no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this boat we're on.
We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk
He's as cool as November and as smooth as China silk
He's God's best friend, he's got a seat on the board
And life may be tough but we're sailing with the Lord."

Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady

Woke up this morning and something had changed
Like a room in my house had just been rearranged
She said, "It's stopped raining and I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer I'm gonna lose my mind."
So we said we had a mission for his favourite dove
To see if there was any mercy from this great God above
So to find dry land, away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country just a rock would do
When the dove came back to us, he threw down a twig
It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig
"But the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?"
I said, "It's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me."

Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady
Rock steady Rock steady

Sister Moon

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

Sister Moon

History Will Teach Us

If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without a breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast

If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse

Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child

Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing

Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Know you human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for


They Dance Alone

Why are there women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they dispise
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

It's the only form of protest they're allowed
I've seen their silent faces scream so loud
If they were to speak these words they'd go missing too
Another woman on a torture table what else can they do
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

One day we'll dance on their graves
One day we'll sing our freedom
One day we'll laugh in our joy
And we'll dance
One day we'll dance on their graves
One day we'll sing our freedom
One day we'll laugh in our joy
And we'll dance

Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos
Ellas danzan con los muertos
Ellas danzan con amores invisibles
Ellas danzan con silenciosa angustia
Danzan con sus pardres
Danzan con sus hijos
Danzan con sus esposos
Ellas danzan solas
Danzan solas

Hey Mr. Pinochet
You've sown a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you
One day the money's going to stop
No wages for your torturers
No budget for your guns
Can you think of your own mother
Dancin' with her invisible son
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
They're anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone
They dance alone

Be Still My Beating Heart

Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Flat On The Floor

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for me to be at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what I did it, I admit it, I played in defence
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Eight minutes I'm losing it a little bit
Five minutes your description might be startin' to fit
Pretty goin' I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for being here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Can't stand up alone
Can't say anything at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Do This Anymore

Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why is what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me?
When am I gonna learn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause
It's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling

Someday

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Believe It Or Not

Believe it or not everyone
Have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone
Keep most things inside

Believe it or not everyone
Believes in something above
Believe it or not everyone
Needs to feel loved

But we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out!

Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

But you don't, and you won't
Until we figure out!

Seen it a lot and every time
The world turns upside down
Believe it or not most of us
Feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not everyone
Hated admitting this
Believe it or not most of us
Wanna know why we're here:

But we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out!

Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

Someone deliver us?
Just send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

But you don't, and you won't
Until we figure out!

Most of us have nothing
To complain about
Most of us have things
We could live without
Everyone needs advice
On how to get along

You know we won't
Until we figure out!

Believe it or not everyone:

Believe it or not everyone
Have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone
Keep most things inside

Believe it or not everyone
Believes in something above

Feelin Way Too Damn Good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me
You must've broke down cuz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
But something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

For 48 hours I don't think that we left my hotel room
Should show you the sites cuz I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong cos I'm feelin' way too damn good

And it's like...

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

Sometimes life ain't best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

And it's like...

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good
Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me
You must've broke down cuz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here,
I just feel that I'm constantly dreaming
Cuz something's gotta go wrong

Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me

Figured You Out

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Should've Listened

Why's there clothes all over the floor.
Don't remember them being here before.
Smell of perfume isn't here.
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand.

No pictures left in the hall.
It's plain there's holes in my wall.
Where the hells my credit cards?
Why the hells my wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
in one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Should've seen the look on my face.
My shits all over the place!
Why's this happening to me?
Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
in one ear and out the other
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Ohh, Well I guess I should've listened

There's clothes all over my floor.
I don't remember them being there before.
There are no candles in here.
Lipstick still on my mirror.
And I still don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

The Man Who Sold The World

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Oh! You Pretty Things

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes,
shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're
here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me,
no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
Let me say it again
You gotta make way
for the Homo Superior

Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Changes

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste
was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware
of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get
a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Ziggy Stardust

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly,
The Spiders from Mars.
He played it left hand, but made it too far,
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's Band.

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'me to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands ?

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were Voodoo
The kids was just crass, he was the naz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the rnan I had to break up the band

Scary Monsters & Super Creeps

She had an horror of rooms
she was tired
you can't hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home

She could've been a killer
if she didn't walk the way she do,
and she do
She opened strange doors
that we'd never close again

She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

She asked me to stay
and I stole her room
She asked for my love
and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street
and she can't socialise
Well I love the little girl
and I'll love her till the day she dies

She wails
Jimmy's guitar sound
jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Run, Run, Run

Alan Parsons Project

Eye in the sky

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking...
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusaation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
Iam the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
Soo find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

Silence and I

If I cried out loud
Over sorrows I've known
And the secrets I've heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won't breathe a word

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

When the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can't see the light
And I hide from the sound

I can hear the cry
Of a leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
Of an echoing voice
And there's no one around

Time

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea

Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friends, Maybe forever
Goodbye my friends, The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh when I'm old and wise
BItter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

Children of the moon

Pay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
None to turn to
Nowhere to run to even if we could

Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost inthe middle of a hopeless world
Children children of the moon watch the world go by
Children children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky
Children children of the moon watch it all go by
Children children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes

No one to turn to
Nowhere to run to even if we could

Follow the pilgrim to the Temple of the Dawn
The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone
We let the madmen write the golden rules
We were no more than mortal fools
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children children of the moon watch the world go by
Children children of the moon hiding from the sky

The Cranberries(之二)

Ode To My Family

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me. Do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see
Does anyone care
Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out thered
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you. I miss
'Cause you liked it. I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh me liked me, does anyone care
Does anyone care

Never Grow Old

I had a dream
In this dream it seems
It was my perfect day
Open my eyes
I realize this is my perfect day
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Do ...
Birds in the sky
They look so high
This is my perfect day
I feel the breeze
I feel
This is my perfect day
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Forever young
I hope you stay forever young
Do...

Stars

The Stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere
Guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere
And you are always right
I thought you were so perfect
Take you as you were
Have you as you were
Take you as you were
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are
Aaa Aaa Aaa
The Stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be OK
The worst I've ever seen us
And still I have my weaknesses
And still I have my strength
And still I have my ugliness
But I, I, I
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are
Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaaa
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way you are
Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa

Animal Instinct

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me

When You're Gone

Hold on to love
That is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above
Everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple when I'm not around you
But I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I knew
Hey baby...
Hold on to my hands
I feel I'm stinking
Stinking without you
And to my mind
Everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple
When I'm not around you
I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I do
Hey baby...

Time Is Ticking Out

We'd better think about the things we say
We'd better think about the games we play
The world went round, around and round
We'd better think about the consequences
We'd better think about the global senses
The time went down, the time went down
What about Chernobyl
What about radiation
We don't know, we don't know
What about deprivation
Gluttony, the human nation
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Time is ticking out
I guess that we screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The time went down, the time went down
What about our children then
Is there nothing left for them
We don't know, we don't know Rel
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
La la la la the oxygen, la la la la the oxygen
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Time is ticking out yeah
Time is ticking out

PRETTY EYES

Pretty eyes, pretty eyes
Not a cloud in my day
Not a cloud in my way
Angel eyes, no disguise
No pretention is here
No pretention, no fear
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling
Stay awhile, stay awhile
I will tell you my mind
I will tell you my mind
I will kill everything
Just to take off your pain
Just to take off your pain
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling

JUST MY IMAGINATION

There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had
Living not for reality
It was just my imagination
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstablem
It was just my imagination
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We'll always be this freee
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality
It's not my imagination
Not my
