The Lazarus HeartVer letra 4:35

letra de The Lazarus Heart
He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him open
Was the sword in his mother's hand
Every day another miracle
Only death will tear us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
The blood of the lazarus heart
Though the sword was his protection
The wound itself would give him power
The power to remake himself
At the time of his darkest hour
She said the wound would give him courage and pain
The kind of pain that you can't hide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
Every day another miracle
Only death will keep us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
The blood of the lazarus heart
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
I've no stones that chase them away
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
Will sit on my roof someday
They fly at the window, they fly at the door
Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore
She counts all her children as a shield against the rain
Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain
Every day another miracle
Only death will keep us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
The blood of the lazarus heart
Be Still My Beating HeartVer letra 5:34

letra de 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
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
Englishman In New YorkVer letra 4:27

letra de Englishman In New York
I don't drink 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.

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.
History Will Teach Us NothingVer letra 5:07

letra de History Will Teach Us Nothing
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 the 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 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 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
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
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for

FragileVer letra 3:58

letra de Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh 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

Straight To My HeartVer letra 3:54

letra de Straight To My Heart
Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supercede the human kiss
A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize the brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance
But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart

A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they're working far too much
For the redundancy of touch
But what will make me yours
Are a million deadly spores
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. to no one but you
If it's a future world we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand
But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart
If i should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you
But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. to no one but you
Rock SteadyVer letra 4:28

letra de Rock Steady
Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds like the 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 than 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 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 too 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 favorite 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 MoonVer letra 3:57

letra de 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

SHARYN: Este disco es genial, yo lo compré en 1986 en Buenos Aires, cuando disfruté maravillosamente del Concierto de Amnesty International en 1988....sensacional
Mario López Mineros: Me parece a nivel muy personal que éste disco a sido uno de sus mejores trabajos, excelente producción.
