Girls on FilmVer letra 3:28

letra de Girls on Film
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
then walk right out to the fourline track
there's camera rolling on her back, on her back
and I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
all the way down her spine

Girls on film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
in miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
the diving man's coming up for air
cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
and she wonders how she ever got here
as she goes under again

Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film

Wider baby smiling, you've just made a million
fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close, I'm holding bright, holding tight
give me shudders with a whisper, take me high
till I'm shooting a star

Girls on film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Planet EarthVer letra 3:56

[X]
letra de Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
you'll see I'm right some other time

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
this is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is planet earth

My head is stuck on something precious
let me know if you're coming down to land
is there anybody out there trying to get through
my eyes are cloudy, I can't see you

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, calling planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is planet earth
FameVer letra 3:18

[X]
letra de Fame
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, its just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame

Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame

Fame, nien! its mine! is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Fame

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Could it, babe? , could it, babe?

Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool
Fame (fame)
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain (pain)
(fame)

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame ,fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame Fame
What's your name?
What a game!
What a shame!

Careless MemoriesVer letra 3:53

letra de Careless Memories
So soon,
just after you've gone
my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened

Chorus:
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory

On the table
signs of love lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It's not as though--
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following

(chorus)

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
follow you?

Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...
Anyone out There? 4:01
Sound of ThunderVer letra 4:05

[X]
letra de Sound of Thunder
I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen? Does it fly through the air?
Oh I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking
Days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Here I am, I'm a dotted line
Cut the corner, stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
and I just lie here
It's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing, but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast, I might fly off

Waiting for the Sound of Thunder
I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder (x6)

Like an AngelVer letra 4:45

[X]
letra de Like an Angel
Things that you used to say
Now take on different meanings
You realise
Can't be to careful about the lines
Come on you know you're not so young
You cannot hide behind disguise
Listen to your own desire

Eyes like an angel - so wise, don't lie
You never felt like this before
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You send your senses streaming free

Places you used to go
When you were young
Look different in the dark
Don't you worry it's okay
And maybe I can help you
Find your way tonight
I think you will agree
Summer reason's run away

Eyes like an angel - so wise, don't lie
You never felt like this before
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You've got your senses streaming free

Oh, I hear your heart beating
Even faster now than mine
Now you know just what I mean
So take your place among those twilight
Gleaming rivers that you read
Give me reasons to believe

Eyes like an angel - so wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You send my senses streaming free

Like an angel
Like an angel
Hold Back the RainVer letra 3:48

[X]
letra de Hold Back the Rain
We're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane

People tell me I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling, too
You just can't laugh all the time

And if the fires burn out
There's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and
We ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me
Please hold back the rain

So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn

Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

And if the fires burn out
There's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and
We ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me
Please hold back the rain
Save a PrayerVer letra 3:45

[X]
letra de Save a Prayer
You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Chorus:
Don't save a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way.)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day.

(chorus)
Save it til the morning after. Save it til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after (4x)
Save a prayer til the morning after
My Own WayVer letra 4:50

[X]
letra de My Own Way
I saw you at the airace yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying, no not me

I'm never bothered, what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
I ain't your problem anyway

CHORUS
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way

No. 1 public figure, what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same

Now you're on the Sandlane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

CHORUS

I'm on 45th between Sixth and Broadway
7UP between Sixth and Broadway
RioVer letra 4:45

letra de Rio
Composição: Duran Duran

Wow!
Moving on the floor now babe,
You're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special
And you look like you're the best

CHORUS
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

CHORUS

Hey now (wow), look at that,
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,
You make me feel
Alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

CHORUS

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
New ReligionVer letra 5:29

[X]
letra de New Religion
I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
Don't go there boy

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who make the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the Sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who make the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil follows me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to bother me?
Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just be right this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who make the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
(Repeat to fade)
The ChauffeurVer letra 5:11

[X]
letra de The Chauffeur
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side

Chorus
The sun slips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing blue silver

Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky
Towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

Chorus

And watching lovers part, i feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes
With a word to stiffen brooding lies
But i'll only watch you leave me further behind

Chorus

(there's more to this kind of camouflage)
(more than just color and shape)

(who's going now, in this classiomatic?)
Hungry Like the WolfVer letra 3:24

[X]
letra de Hungry Like the Wolf
Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
(Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
(Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Smell like a sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, and juice's like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
(Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
(Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo)

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, and juice's like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Lonely in Your NightmareVer letra 3:47

[X]
letra de Lonely in Your Nightmare
Even on the darkest night
When empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home
Like shadows turning red
When the lights of hope are fading quickly
Then look to me
I'll be your homing angel,
I'll be in your head

Because you're lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter
Let me in

I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground
When all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind

Because you're lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter
Let me in
And it's silent on your stone field
Let me in

Must be lucky weather when you find
The kind of wind that you need
C'mon, show me all the light and shade
That made your name
I know you've got it in your head,
I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge,
Turns you captive all the same

Because you're lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
And it's barren in your garden
Let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter
Let me in
Because it's silent in your stone field
Let me in
And you're lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
Because you've waited through your ice age
Let me in

Because you're so lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
And it's cold out on your stone range
Let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter
Let me in
Last Chance on the StairwayVer letra 4:19

[X]
letra de Last Chance on the Stairway
I don't remember quite how I met you,
Wasn't long ago
Just get a picture of sun
In your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie
Or you could've said last night
Just took me out on a limb
And I don't really know what I'm doing here

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beat's so in time, can you look at me
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right
I've had my last chance on the stairway

Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire
Twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We'll turn and see the circles we traced
Ain't no game...when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right
So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see
If you want, I fall out forever
I can't say no more...bebe dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

Wonder why
Wonder why...what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
I don't even know what you're thinking
Don't even know what you're drinking
But it keeps this heaven alive

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right
So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see
If you want, I fall out forever
I can't say no more...bebe dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway
