Эти тексты даже круче, чем у горячо любимых мной Ludo. Эндрю Волп подвинулся и уступил место.
Это что-то нереальное.
Боги, как же круто. Давно не встречала подобных метафор в английских произведениях. Тем более в текстах песен.
В общем, бальзам на душу.
Perfect worldAll we shared was a mattress,
and a lie, and an address
Baby I don't need you,
well baby I don't need you
Once occupied by a goddess,
now it's a room full of boxes
She said "it's time to leave you"
but baby I don't need you!
In a perfect world her face would not exist,
In a perfect world a broken heart is fixed,
In a perfect world I'd see no therapist,
In a perfect world this wouldn't make me sick!
I never got the whole story,
not 'til after she left me
Baby I don't need you,
well baby I don't need you
Word on the street is she fucked him,
while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don't need you,
you're fading in my rearview
In a perfect world her face would not exist,
In a perfect world a broken heart is fixed,
In a perfect world I'd see no therapist,
In a perfect world this wouldn't make me sick!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
In a perfect world her face would not exist,
In a perfect world this wouldn't make me sick!
Control-Alt-Deleted!
Control-Alt-Deleted!
Control-Alt-Deleted!
Reset my memory...
In a perfect world her face would not exist,
In a perfect world a broken heart is fixed,
In a perfect world I'd see no therapist,
In a perfect world this wouldn't make me sick!Red flagCast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It's only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you
The Red Flag waving never meant the same... no
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a King
We'll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if there's a wall
Don't be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you
The Red Flag waving never meant the same... no
The Red Flag waving never meant the same... no!
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire
Don't need water
Like a jury
Needs a liar
Like a riot
Don't need order
Like a madman
Needs a martyrFallen leavesIn a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn't find at home
Can't get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I'll be fine
I swear to God, this'll be my one last time!
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
I never once thought, I'd ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the groundSurrenderShe reads a book from across the street
Whenever someone that she'll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood
Killin' time before she struts her stuff
She needs supporting, I'll become the crutch
She'll never know how much she means to me
I play the game but I'm the referee
[Chorus:]
Surrender every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender every touch,
Every smile, every frown
Surrender all the pain
We've endured until now
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found
Surrender yourself to me
Even though I know what I'm lookin' for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger
[Chorus:]
Surrender every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender every touch,
Every smile, every frown
Surrender all the pain
We've endured until now
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found
Surrender yourself to me
I think I found her suffering, the field of words
I think I found
Her frowning in a field of words
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
I think I found her suffering the field of words
I think I found
Her frowning in a field of words
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
This flower don't belong to me
Why could she belong to me
Every word, every thought every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain we've endured until now
All the hope that I lost you have found
[Chorus:]
Surrender every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender every touch,
Every smile, every frown
Surrender all the pain
We've endured until now
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found
Surrender yourself to me
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to askDevil on my shoulderAs I get closer,
My dreams get farther
I climb that ladder,
But you kick it over
Thirsty for water,
You give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine,
It just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
Follow the rainbow,
My lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold,
Just copper tokens
I found the key to life,
The lock was broken
All my accomplishments
Are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober
I'd beg for mercy
From my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails
Into my coffinTears into wineThe gun is loaded when the glass is full,
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled
Off the wagon and back onto the stool
I know that when I stare into your eyes
I can see all the years of lies
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised
All the friends that I've ever known
Are the street lamps I follow home
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone
...Oh Lord I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that's all right
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine
His fate was written on a neon sign
A DUI never changed his mind
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line
You never gave yourself a chance to shine
Your destination's a chalk outline
And when you get to the gates you'll be denied
All the friends that I've ever known
Are the street lamps I follow home
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone
...Oh Lord I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that's all right
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that's all right
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine
All the friends that I've ever known
Are the street lamps I follow home
The tide keeps pulling me down
I try to reach higher ground
I'll never give up and drown
...Even though I just can'tDiamond on a landmineSlapped my face, slammed the door,
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw her friends, and I was told,
She blocked my number from her cell phone
You said we weren't meant to be,
Now this obsession is killing me
Until I have a heart attack,
I'll keep on trying to win you back
Alone at last, I can't wait till we're alone at last,
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever, I'll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let it die
Well you'd better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
I'm not so sure about this word,
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit, but there's no use,
'Cause I'm addicted to her abuse
She's in control of everything,
I'm just a puppet, she pulls my strings
Denying truth, I'll test my fate,
I'll keep on playing this wicked game
Alone at last, I can't wait till we're alone at last,
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever, I'll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
our love is still alive
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let it die
Well you'd better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine,
Better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
We're dancing on thin ice before
Frozen from the winter's cold
And if it were to crack below
I'd never let you go
Alone at last, I can't wait till we're alone at last,
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
Forever, forever, I'll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I'll never, I'll never, I'll never let it die
Well you'd better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step,
She's a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explodeTurn your backAnd when the clock strikes twelve,
Tell me where you're gonna be
Cleaning up the mess we've made
Or watching your TV
And if you have to ask,
Then you don't have a clue
There's snow in Arizona
While they're bombing in Beirut
I hope some day,
When I'm dead and gone
We learned to right
Everything that's wrong
With loving hands turn sick to strong
Our time will tell,
If life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can't ignore
You run, run away,
But there's no place to hide, mate
When the days turn into night,
You don't got no chance to fight
'Cause you're too late,
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate
It just don't make no sense,
There's a million mouths to feed
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back
Or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion
Over universal greed
I hope some day,
When I'm dead and gone
We learned to right
Everything that's wrong
With loving hands turn sick to strong
Our time will tell,
If life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can't ignore
You run, run away,
But there's no place to hide, mate
When the days turn into night,
You don't got no chance to fight
'Cause you're too late,
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate
When the storm hits your front door
With a roar you can't ignore
You run, run away,
But there's no place to hide, mate
When the days turn into night,
You don't got no chance to fight
'Cause you're too late,
So kiss your ass goodbye, mate
Well, you can turn your back,
But it won't go away
And you don't look scared,
But you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth,
But you still have a say
But you just don't care
For tomorrow todayDefinition of destinyWon't you stop, take a breath
Find a moment to reflect
On the pure and simple choices
That we fail to see?
From the worst to the best
From the east coast to the west
On a never-ending quest
To end our misery
So cut to the chase,
It's time to escape,
Before it's too late
Yeah pick up the pace,
Catch up with fate,
It's slipping away
So get off my road,
No I won't be told,
'Cause I got my own
(definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control,
And don't let it go,
The future's unknown
(definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)
Punch the clock to its own
While our lives are put on hold
When did all our childhood dreams
Begin to disappear?
Well a long time ago
We had passion, we had goals
Why is life so set in stone?
It doesn't have to be
So cut to the chase,
It's time to escape,
Before it's too late
Yeah pick up the pace,
Catch up with fate,
It's slipping away
So get off my road,
No I won't be told,
'Cause I got my own
(definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control,
And don't let it go,
The future's unknown
(definition of destiny)
So get off my road,
No I won't be told,
'Cause I got my own
(definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control,
And don't let it go,
The future's unknown
Along the way, we lost our way
So will you change or stay the same?
So in between reality
And fantasy is destinyНе знаю, Гошу благодарить или бить за то, что подсадил?)
Не прощу себе, если не попаду на концерт.
