Something About YouVer letra 4:24

letra de Something About You
Ooh...

Ooh...

How - how can it be that a love

Carved out of caring fashioned by fate

Could suffer so hard

From the games played much too often

But making mistakes is a part

Of life's imperfections born of the years

Is it so wrong to be human after all

Drawn into the stream

Of undefined illusion

Those diamond dreams

They can't disguise the truth

That there is something about you

Baby so right

I wouldn't be without you baby tonight

If ever our love was concealed

No one can say that we didn't feel

A million things

And a perfect dream of life

Gone, fragile but free

We remain tender together

If not so in love

It's not so wrong

We're only human after all

These changing years

They add to your confusion

Oh and you need to hear the time

That told the truth

That there is something about you

Baby so right

Don't want to be without you

Baby tonight

Because there's something about you

Baby so right

I couldn't live without you

Baby tonight

Ooh...

Ooh...

And there's something about you

I couldn't live without you

Tonight

letra de World Machine
Some folks try

To multiply

From sunrise to sunset

Leave behind

More of their kind

So no one will forget

But that ain't where I'm coming from - today

Those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway

I wanna know where my pride has gone

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

Teachers teach

And preachers preach

Of spiritual evolution

But this big I am

From uncle sham

Just adds to my confusion

I've seen his face, I've heard his song - before

But I don't care what time he's on - anymore

I must have been on the streets too long

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

I find myself outside your door

Trying to make it like before

But you don't follow what I say

And I can tell by your smile

You're no longer a child

That part of you was buried yesterday ...

... who knows

Why they come and where they go

In this world machine?

It's the chosen fools

Who make the rules

That don't apply to me

With their fast-car games

And counter claims

Not my reality

And I don't know if I belong - today

I don't know why my friends have gone - away

I must have been on the streets too long

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine

(don't knock the system - we'll knock some sense in you

Don't beat the system - there's nothing you can do)

letra de Leaving Me Now
It seems true love is so rare

Seems all I've known is deceit

Your laughter fills the air

Once more I'm sensing defeat

And I suppose you're leaving me now

I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt

And I suppose you'll be leaving this place

Just like the smile you've wiped from my face

This time

I always gave my best

Your memory serves you so badly

Some people kill for less

Yet I'd still die for you gladly (so gladly)

But I suppose it's my turn now

To play a scene that's familiar somehow

I turn the page and you walk away

Not even love could bring you to stay

This time

Walk away, it's so easy

Once more I'm learning

In the depths of my despair

Your lies confirming

True love is so rare

And I suppose it's my turn now

There's no more love, only feelings of doubt

Gone with the hope your words have erased

Gone with the smile you wiped from my face

Love is a ship we all hope to steer

Through troubled times, 'cross an ocean of tears

A midnight sea that swells in your eyes

Takes just one look to know I'm still mesmerised

But I suppose you're leaving me now

I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt

I turn the page and you walk away

Not even love could bring you to stay

This time

Leaving me now

Leaving this place

letra de Hot Water
Tell me something

Why do I always find it hard

Just to get along

Try my best for nothing

Every little thing I do is wrong

Feel it in my brain

Driving me insane

Round and round

The same old tune

Daddy's on the phone

You know you're not alone

Turn that down

And clean up your room

Sons and daughters

(Don't fall in)

In hot water

Sons and daughters

(They don't do)

What they oughta

Tell (tell) you something

Music is the key to set me free

To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping

Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me

Here it comes again

Chugging like a train

Round and round

An impeccable groove

I know it's getting late

But I won't hesitate

Can't slow down

Got to do what I do

Sons and daughters

(Always in)

In hot water

Wasting time

Is a crime in their eyes

But I'm still young

So much time to decide what to do

I don't need confirmation

For my boyhood extrapolation

Though I'm not sure of my direction

I have the groove for my protection

Here it comes again

Chugging like a train

Round and round

An impeccable groove

I know it's getting late

But I won't hesitate

Can't slow down

Got to do what I do

Sons and daughters

(Don't fall in)

In hot water

(When they fall by the way)

Sons and daughters

(They don't do)

What they oughta

Tell me something

Where you staying tonight

Your folks

Have waited up for you

Now they've locked the door

And turned off the light
It's Not The Same For Us 4:36

letra de Good Man In A Storm
It just occurred to me

I must be blind

Why do I try so hard to keep my cool

When I'm about to lose my mind

There was a vision

Flashing by

Of a summers' day I spent with you

Of a child who never learnt how to cry

When those around me

Fall in despair

I call upon my common sense

'cause someone has to care

A sudden decision

I can't explain

Though I've often tried to change the rules

The game remains the same

For love

I've played the part so many times

It fits me like a glove

But I'm the victim

In the bitter end

I know you need me to be strong

L just don't know how much longer I can pretend

You always need me to be

A good man in a storm

It sometimes scares me

The further we go

Just how much we understand

And just how much we know

So whatever happened

In our hearts

While making perfect sense of life

We still remain so far apart

You always want me to be

A good man in a storm

Trying to fit the social norm

And be a good man in a storm

Trying hard since I was born

To be a good man in a storm
The Chant Has BegunVer letra 5:19

letra de The Chant Has Begun
The spirit of the people

The spirit of the people

The spirit of the people

The rhythm has begun ...

Old men with their protocol

Lead us off to war

Sometimes we don't even know

What we're fighting for

Marching to the beat of their drum

Leaders we no longer trust

Told too many lies

The promises they made to us

Were never realised

Hear me now the chant has begun

Nowhere left to turn

No-one left to turn to

Voices raised in anger

They don't have the answer

Our whole world's in danger

Oil slicks on the ebbing tide

Progress out of hand

Blind men choke on swallowed pride

Heads down in the sand

Don't wanna see the damage they've done

Trees destroyed by acid rain

Falling from the skies

When our children place the blame

Who will tell them why

Hear me now the chant has begun

Why is love so rare

All this talk of warfare

Voices raised in anger

They don't have an answer

Pass the word along

We can wait no longer

Too much blind destruction

Follow love's instructions

Now the chant has begun

[chant]

Make your choice there's no escape

Add your voice, the chant has begun
Lying StillVer letra 5:39

letra de Lying Still
She came thru the door round my place

She was not the same

I reached out my hand to touch her face

She turned her head away

Her words flew in empty circles

Reasons unexplained

I saw that her thoughts were somewhere else

We made love anyway

Lying still in your arms

And the tears came down

She cried her pain

And like the rain that draws a cloud across the sun

The tears flow on

She cried the pain she felt inside

As night touched the sky with moonglow

She opened up her heart

The tides of emotions ebb and flow

Washing us apart

We talked thru the night in whispers

As the silent city lay

Reasons she gave cut deep and hard

The dawn broke angry grey

Lying still in your arms

Heartbeats cold

She cried my pain

Like thunder rolling thru an aching winter sky

Heartbeats cold

Her pain

Lying still in your arms

But the tears came down

She cried my pain

And like the rain that draws a cloud across the sun

The tears flow on

She cried the pain I felt inside

The future dissolves in the tears

The morning surrenders the years

How can you say our love wasn't real

When I can see how you feel

Another time

Another place

I won't cry for her

No more

The days go on

But the nights are long

I'll remember her

For sure

Still in your arms
