- When We DanceVer letra
[X]If he loved youletra de When We Dance
like i love you
i would walk away in shame
i'd move town, i'd change my name
When he watches you
when he comes to buy your soul
on your hand his golden rings
like he owns the bird that sings
When we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
The priest has said my soul
salvation is in the balance of the angels
and underneath the wheels of passion
i keep my faith in my fashion
When we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
(oooh) i'm still in love with you
Chorus
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
i'm gonna love you night and day
i'm gonna try in every way
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna find a place to live
give you all i've got to give
i would love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
If i could break down these walls
and shout my name at heaven's gate
i'd take these hands
and i'd destroy the dark machineries of fate,
cathedrals are broken
heaven's no longer above
hellfire's a promise away
i'd still be saying
i'm still in love
still in love
still in love
still in love...
He won't love you
like i love you
he won't care for you this way
he'll mistreat you with disdain
Come and live with me
we'll have children of our own
i would love you more than life
if you'll come and be my wife
Chorus
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
i'm gonna love you night and day
i'm gonna try in every way
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna find a place to live
give you all i've got to give
i would love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
[etc...]
When we dance...
I had a dream last night
dreamt you were by my side
walking with me baby
my heart was filled with pride
i had a dream last night
[fade...] - If You Love Somebody Set Them FreeVer letra
[X]If you need somebody, call my nameletra de If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
if you want someone, you can do the same
if you want to keep something precious
you got to lock it up and throw away the key
if you want to hold onto your possession
don't even think about me
If you love somebody, set them free
If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
or a whipping boy, someone to despise
or a prisoner in the dark
tied up in chains you just can't see
or a beast in a gilded cage
that's all some people ever want to be
If you love somebody, set them free
You can't control an independent heart
can't tear the one you love apart
forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
we can't live here and be happy with less
so many riches, so many souls
everything we see we want to possess
If you need somebody, call my name
if you want someone, you can do the same
if you want to keep something precious
you got to lock it up and throw away the key
if you want to hold onto your possession
don't even think about me
If you love somebody, set them free - Fields Of GoldVer letra
[X]You'll remember me when the west wind movesletra de Fields Of Gold
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold - All This TimeVer letra
[X]I looked out acrossletra de All This Time
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play.
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea.
Two priests came round our house tonight
One young one old to offer prayers for the dying
To serve the final rite,
One to learn, one to teach,
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea
If i had my way i'd take a boat from the river
And i'd bury the old man,
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
And as these words were spoken i swear i hear
The old man laughing,
'what good is a used up world, and how could it be
Worth having'
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly like a silent tear
And all this time the river flowed
Father, if jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here.
The teacher told us, the romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
Garrison town,
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found
And all this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If i had my way i'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
But they only get better
One by one
One by one... - Fortress Around Your HeartVer letra
[X]Under the ruins of a walled cityletra de Fortress Around Your Heart
crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
no flags of truce, no cries of pity
the siege guns had been pounding all through the night
it took a day to build the city
we walked through its streets in the afternoon
as i returned across the fields i'd known
i recognized the walls that i once laid
i had to stop in my tracks for fear
of walking on the mines i'd laid
And if i have built this fortress around your heart
encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
then let me build a bridge for i cannot fill the chasm
and let me set the battlements on fire
Then i went off to fight some battle
that i'd invented inside my head
away so long for years and years
you probably thought or even wished that i was dead
while the armies all are sleeping
beneath the tattered flag we'd made
i had to stop in my tracks for fear
of walking on the mines i'd laid
This prison has now become your home
a sentence you seem prepared to pay
it took a day to build the city
we walked through its streets in the afternoon
as i returned across the lands i'd known
i recognized the fields where i'd once played
i had to stop in my tracks for fear
of walking on the mines i'd laid
And if i have built this fortress around your heart
encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
then let me build a bridge for i cannot fill the chasm
and let me set the battlements on fire - Be Still My Beating HeartVer letra
[X]Be still my beating heartletra de 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
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
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 - They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)
- If I Ever Lose My Faith In YouVer letra
[X]You could say i lost my faith in science and progressletra de If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
you could say i lost my belief in the holy church
you could say i lost my sense of direction
you could say all of this and worse, but
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say i was a lost man in a lost world
you could say i lost my faith in the people on tv
you could say i'd lost my belief in our politicians
yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do
i could be lost inside their lies without a trace
but every time i close my eyes i see your face
I never saw no miracle of science
that didn't go from a blessing to a curse
i never saw no military solution
that didn't always end up as something worse, but
let me say this first
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do - FragileVer letra
[X]If blood will flow when flesh and steel are oneletra de Fragile
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 - Why Should I Cry For You?Ver letra
[X]Under the dog star sailletra de Why Should I Cry For You?
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of faroe
Under the artic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should i?
Why should i cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over the godless sea
Mountains of endless falling
For all my days remaining
What would be true?
Sometimes i see your face
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must i think of you?
Why must i?
Why sould i?
Why should i cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say
That, i loved you in my fashion?
What would be true?
Why should i?
Why should i cry for you? - Englishman In New YorkVer letra
[X]I don't drink coffee I take tea, my dear.letra de Englishman In New York
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.
You 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.
Whoa. I'm an alien.
I'm a legal alien.
I'm an Englishman in New York.
Whoa. I'm an alien.
I'm a legal alien.
I'm an Englishman in New York.
If "manners maketh man" as someone said,
He's the hero of the day.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Whoa. I'm an alien.
I'm a legal alien.
I'm an Englishman in New York.
Whoa. I'm an alien.
I'm a legal alien.
I'm an Englishman in New York.
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety,
But you could end up as the only one.
Gentleness, sobriety are so 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,
He's the hero of the day.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say.
Be yourself no matter what they say. - We'll Be Together
- RussiansVer letra
[X]In europe and america there's a growing feeling of hysterialetra de Russians
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the soviets
Mr. krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the russains love their children too
How can i save my little boy from oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when i say to you
I hope the russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when i say to you
I hope the russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the russians love their children too - This Cowboy SongVer letra
[X]We rode all night across an endless desertletra de This Cowboy Song
We had no moon to light our way
And though a million stars were slowly turning
We lacked the consciences to pray
Our horses running like a devil chase us
Their feet they hardly touched the ground
Yes i'm familiar with a grey wolf howling
But i'm certain i never heard that sound
Devil to pay on judgement day
Would jesus strike me down if i should pray?
This cowboy song is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun, your shining light
You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
I've been a sinner all my days
When i was living with my hand on the trigger
I had no sense to change my ways
The preacher asked if i'd embrace the resurrection
To suck the poison from my life
Just like an existential cowboy villain
His words were balanced on my knife
Devil to pay, on judgement day
Would jesus strike me down if i should pray?
This cowboy song is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun, your shining light
You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
Every night
Every night
All my distances afar
This cowboy song, is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
This cowboy song, this cowboy life
I'll be your dog-star shining tonight
