letra de Twist in My Sobriety
All God's children need travelling shoes

Drive your problems from here

All good people read good books

Now your conscience is clear

I hear you talk girl

Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow

Wipe the miles away

I like to think I can be so willed

And never do what you say

I'll never hear you

And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

We've just poked a little empty pie

For the fun that people had at night

Late at night don't need hostility

The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts

Different thoughts are good for me

Up in arms and chaste and whole

All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah

Time to risk a life, a life, a life

Sweet and handsome

Soft and porky

You pig out 'til you've seen the light

Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers

Read them good and well

Pretty people, nervous people

People have got to sell

News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms

Look your love has drawn red from my hands

From my hands you know you'll never be

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

More than twist in my sobriety

letra de Good Tradition
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you

You still feel safe inside

Oh, was this solo?

Was this yesterday?

Was this true for you?

'Cause while all the rest have taken time

This didn't do a lot for you

And the corners laced with memories

Tell you how it used to be

Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away

And strong feelings never bother you

You hold your head up while the rest of us try to

Oh, call the stations

Call the people

We all want to know

'Cause while all the rest have taken time

You don't wanna know

Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you

You still feel safe inside

Oh, was this solo?

Was this yesterday?

Was this true for you?

'Cause of all the choices you have made

This didn't do a lot for you

letra de Light Up the World
Thinking back

Could I feel much older?

And my stance

Couldn't feel much colder

Can they tell

What I'm getting over now?

In the park

I've seen you walking

And in my dreams

I've heard you talking

Can they tell what I'm getting over now?

'Cause you light up the world yeah

You light up the world

In this time

And times to come

I do not know

If your hopes have won

I do not care where you think

You'll find it and I do not care

If I fall behind

Thinking back

I was so much younger

Thinking back

You were so much more tender

Thinking back

Will it make me hunger now?

For you, light up the world

Yeah you, light up the world

Well there's something about the girl

Yeah there's something about her world

There's something for everyone

Have you found yourself in the frame of mind?

Where no one can be too kind

And there's so little lost

There must be a life to trust there

And if I try I know I'll be there

To hold, and be mine

To Wish ThisVer letra 4:18

letra de To Wish This
It's a long day

For me and my world

It's a long day

To be your girl

It's been a hard times

Spent missing so much

But still I love you

To wish this

To wishes

It takes some caring

To have enough

It takes some pleasing

To keep us crossed

And growing harder

To keep you crowned

But such a true look can be

To wish this

To wishes

Some dust in my eye

Some movement cries

Some will and won't

Some he has shown me love

It takes a murmur

To keep this touch

It's a murmur

Who wants this touch?

To such a soft heart

It can be found

To hush this longing

To wish this

To wishes

It takes a long day

To find your world

It takes a long day

To be your girl

But it's the right time

To feel this much

I still love you

To wish this

To wishes
World Outside Your WindowVer letra 4:54

letra de World Outside Your Window
Well, everyone has said that I might go

'Cause my red suitcase and my Ray Bans weren't quite so

I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls

I'll never come back again

'Cause you know how I laugh when winter shows her hand

With that picture framed, there is a saddest thing you'll see

But it bought me time and a place that love could be

And since I'm goin' now, please rearrange

'Cause I'd like to think that things have changed

I don't believe you'll be open anymore

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me

Well, everyone was hopin' you would stay awhile

Tell us 'bout that great land in the South

Then you'll see that man

Now ain't he under offer?

Well, I tell you child, you go wash out your mouth

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me

Now what can you say?

I'm hidin' in the belfry

How can you say I want to catch time?

How can you say you know anythin' about me?

Because I knew about you but I won't care about you

Now, everyone has come to see

But some things have to die

Flowers out for this graphic haunt

But they all pass me by

But the age is not

A funny game

It don't give such a buzz

And when I winced with ignorance

I had to kiss this dust

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh, and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me

letra de Yodelling Song
The first time you stole flowers from the grave

Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved

By the very friendly, Jesus man

And all he said, "Well, I'm your brother, man"

In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs

In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown

And they didn't ask you where you got the candy

No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan

In the morning time we played travels in the sea

In the evening time we had reduced the sea to me

But your mother saved us from your daddy's hand

Yeah, your mother saved us from your daddy's hand

From your daddy

From your daddy

With my adult mind

You know my body feels so strange

If they'd only sign away my life to me

I could be much saner

If they'd only learn to let me

Freedom seek

The world would be less mean

But they never know how to let you go

But they never know how to leace me

This StrangerVer letra 3:11

letra de This Stranger
I'm gonna build a strange

City overcome

Mad as any

And anyone

Who wants to wish upon me

I will take a city

And it will take the rain

Anybody who sees this face

Will have to blink at this

Strange heart

This stranger

Everybody's angel and

Everybody's friend

Everybody who came around

Will come around again

I will stake this city

And it will take the soil

And anybody who sings me

Will know the trouble's been a

Strange heart

This stranger

Where's yours sincerely?

Where you say you'll be

I sit wrapped in this restless night

Yes, it still comes back to me

Everybody's favoured

And everybody's day

'Cause every time I see your face

I can see your

Strange heart

This stranger
I'm Going Home 3:42
I Might Be CryingVer letra 3:55

[X]
letra de I Might Be Crying
What didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It is such a simple sentiment

To steal the show

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be losing you

And still I wouldn't know

And now I suck up to the pale moonlight

Like it's gonna lead me home

And I shiver in my tired clothes

As if that could keep me warm

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you

'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you up there

What I didn't know back then

Is how great the sin

How time goes so slowly

When you're cheating on a friend

And what I didn't know back then

Is that I might be needing you

Yeah, I might be needing you

The need it doesn't end

And now I stare across the dirty river

And I breathe the dirty air

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you

'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you there

What I didn't know back then

Was that I might be crying

It's such a simple sentiment

To steal the show
Me in MindVer letra 3:24

[X]
letra de Me in Mind
Well, our dog beats in his own heart

Our dog was from the start

Not much use in the rain

Not much use in the sun

Put it outside and let the paint run

Put it outside and let the paint run

Well, our mean day was not heaven sent

Couldn't stay, couldn't raise the rent

Couldn't stay-a-little - let us be

Couldn't stay - so we set it free

Hey

Supposing

I meet you

We waste some time

Supposing, I let you

You still be in mind, mind, mind, mind

Enter - kisses not able

Not able to turn some tricks

Not able to give me favours

Not even when I'm thick with it

And my heart wasn't a stranger

But it sure made no sense to me

Made no sense to any flavour that came

Sown in so cautiously

Hey

Hearts still

Yearn to

Make the sign

Watching

You send me in mind, mind, mind, mind

Well, our old stairs are all the same

The same weather, the same wood stain

You can beep from the left

You can beep from the right

Put it outside and let them turn wide

Put it outside and let them turn wide

Well, no respect, no leniency

Was not ever so well spooked in me

Was not evil so it hangs OK

This is the world in which we play

This is the world in which we play

Hey

Harder

Sane, spent and all awake

Their eyes

Shame me

With their mistakes

And mine, mine, mine, mine
Lovers in the CityVer letra 3:24

letra de Lovers in the City
I'd never call this an unpleasant situation

I'd never teach you how to lie

But sometimes I have been walking numb

And I must catch myself before I cry

Before I cry

I never call anything ugly

I never call anything strange and alone

I never want to, take things lightly

Like they have never been my own

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright

I always thought you'd feel it too

But sometimes I have been making conversation

And I must catch myself

Before I'm down

I'm down on you

I never think they would be scaring me

Scared couples in the cold

They look so fine in their eagerness

I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I'm staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you

I'd be far too scared to try

But sometimes I have been talking dumb

And I forget myself

And I forget myself

And don't ask, why?

Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't, I haven't heard

But I know them and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city
Once and Not Speak 4:45
Stop ListeningVer letra 4:21

letra de Stop Listening
I'm happy to be here

I'm happy to be with you

For where in a lifetime

Do we do the things we really want to

Now old friends they watch lovers

They wonder where we're going to

They know each look from the other

And they accuse you, accuse you

It's on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on and

Don't do this to me

Stop listening

Start calling my name

Stop turning from me

Start feeling I'm here

Stop listening

Keep holding me

I'm happy to lie here

Well, I'm happy to touch your face

I've got nothing to fear here

So these feelings, they cannot be placed

Oh, why do you never listen?

What do you ever want?

It's funny how I feel like

Some kind of person

Another kind of person

I would never like to be

Your on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on and

Can't do this to you

Stop listening

I keep calling your name

I'm not turning from you

Start feeling I'm here

Stop teasing me

Keep holding me

You can be fragile

I don't care

I'll always be there

Can't do this to you

Stop listening

I keep calling your name yes I do

I'm not turning from you

Start feeling I'm here

Stop teasing me

Keep holding me
We Almost Got It TogetherVer letra 4:01

[X]
letra de We Almost Got It Together
We almost got it together

And I'll be your favourite thing

Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes

And I'll just be open and sing

And if I was telling you stories

I was only trying to surprise

I wish I was like the frog-princess

And I'd never tell you lies

And down by the soil of the hard-life

They like to greet us with smiles

They like to tell us their good hostess

Had travelled a million miles

But you'd like it written closer

Yes, you'd like it written pure

If I told you this would you miss my kiss?

No, you'd come right back for more

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone

And there's a light by your window

And I'd like to capture you by there

And I'd like to hold you for all to see

But they don't really care

And if I said you're no peccadillo

Yes, I said you're a major thing

Would you stand by me?

At the corner dock

And say, "yes, this girl is the swing!"

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone

And I'd like another cue

That's why I strain to see

And I'd like the best in you

'Cause you write the best in me

[?]

They were sure that I'd be burning

Yes, so their tart swerve to here might be

But if I said, you're gold inside, yes

And if you were true to me

Would you hang around with that creepy smile

And crawl home back to me

Oh, I'd like to be

What I want to be

But you want to carry on

But you need to take

What you have to take

But I'll still be here when you're gone
