- Accidental babies
Well I held you like a lover
Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place
And we ignored our others, happy plans
For that delicate look upon your face
Our bodies moved and hardened
Hurting parts of your garden
- All Dressed Up
I pack my suit in a bag
I'm all dressed up for prague
I'm all dressed up with you
All dressed up for him too...
Prepare myself for a war
Before I even open up my door
Before I even look out
I'm pissing all of my bullets about...
- Amie
Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?
- Boring Afternoon
She would spend another afternoon drinking wine
Sitting on your door, just wasting time
Talking about the way it used to be
So much better
Or another night baby in your arms
Still another one could do no harm
Reminds me of how it used to feel
- Bottom Shelf
I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I?ve never been
And I?ll wait for you if you want me to
Am I just wasting my time?
And I?ll wait for you if you ask me to
- Camarillas
[Verse 1]
You’re not on my mind
You know that’s a lie
Well I have been overthinking again
But not ‘cause of you
You know that’s not true
Well nothing I’m saying makes any sense
I’m not losing faith
- Cannon-ball
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY what's going on
- Cannonball
Cannonball
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
- Cheers Darlin
Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin'
You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away
- Cheers Darlin'
Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin'
You give me three cigarettes
- Closer
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
- Coconut Skins
You can hold her hand
And show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands
And then roll over and die
You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
- Cold Water
Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?
Love one's daughter
- Colour Me In
I tried to repress it
Then I carried its crown
I reached out to undress it
And love let me down
Love let me down…
So I tried to erase it
But the ink bled right through
- Creep
When you're here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
Beautiful world
I wish I was special
So very special
- Delicate
We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow
- Dogs
"Dogs"
She lives with an orange tree
The girl that does yoga
She picks the dead ones from the ground
When we come over
And she gives
- Don't Explain
Помолчи сейчас,ничего не объясняй
Ничего не выйграешь
Да,я рада что ты вернулся
Но ничего не объясняй
Тихо,не объясняй
Ты знаешь что ничего с этого не возьмешь
Выбрось ту губную помаду
- Elephant
Well this has got to die
I said, this has got to stop
This has got to lie down
With someone else on top
Well, you can keep me pinned
It's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
- Eskimo
Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
- Fool
If you leave me now
It's not that I can't take it
It's just that somehow
I think you'd break it
So much beyond repair
Like pulling out my hair
And poisoning the roots
A gun that never shoots again
- Grey Room
Well I've been here before
Sat on the floor in a grey grey room
Where I stay in all day
I don't eat, but I play with this grey grey food
Desolé, if someone is prayin' then I might break out,
Desolé, even if I scream I can't scream that loud
- I can't take my eyes over you
and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
- I cant take my eyes off of you
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
- I Dont Want To Change You
Wherever you are
You know that I adore you
No matter how far
Well, I can go before you
And if ever you need someone
Well, not that you need helping
But if ever you want someone
Know that I am willing
- I Fought in a War
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
- I Remember
I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working
I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in stare
- It Takes A Lot To Know A Man
It takes a lot to know a man
it takes a lot to understand
the warrior, the sage
the little boy in rage
it takes a lot to know a woman
a lot to understand what’s humming
the honeybee, the sting
- Let me out
Что я хочу от тебя - так это опустошить твою голову
Мне говорят быть честным, не оставаться в твоей кровати
Мы делаем то, что нам нужно для свободы
И это нависает надо мной, как дерево без корней
Что я хочу от тебя - так это очистить твое сознание
Мы подделываем мысли, и нарушаем законы времени
Мы идем вслепую когда нам нужно видеть
- Lonelily
I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But a lonelily landed my wants in her hands
In a way I felt you were leaving me
I was sure I wouldn't find you at home
And you let me down
Could have knocked off the evening
But you lonelily let him push under your bone
- Lonely Soldier
Lonely solider go home
Lonely, but never alone
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
Good feet feel good given up good boots
Ask your father how do ya fall
Ask your father how do ya fall
Like a leave sitting on the ground
- Long Long Way
Long long way to the top
Long way down if you fall
And it's a long way back if you get lost
Long way out to the end
Long way to go to lose your friends
It's a long way to haul all the traps you've trawled
When you could just stop and let go
- Look at Me
Look into my eyes and you´ll know that I truly love you
Look into my eyes and you´ll see that no one will harm you
Look into my eyes and you´ll feel that I will protect you
Look into my eyes and you´ll fell that you belong
Look at me, look at me and little by little be sleepy
Look at me, look at me and you´ll see that the dreams will come
Then close your tired eyes so wet from crying
- Me, My Yoke, and I
My drum, my drum, my drum
Gonna make ya
My drum, my drum, my drum
Gonna make ya come
My book, my book, my book
Gonna make ya
My book, my book, my book
- My Favourite Faded Fantasy
You could be my favourite taste
To touch my tongue
I know someone who could serve me love
But it wouldn’t fill me up
You could have my favourite face
And favourite name
I know someone who could play the part
- Older Chests
Older chests reveal themselves like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time and we seem to need the help
Of someone else to mend that shelf for too many books
Read me your favorite line
Papa went to other lands and he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah you know
- On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you, not from you,
And though they are with you, they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have thoughts of their own.
You may house their bodies, not their souls,
- Orchard
I met my fate, in the orchard
She made me part of her nature
I plucked the branch, spoiled the fruit
I taste the pain when I look at you
I was once was drowned in a river
She made me swim even deeper
She filled my soul with heavy breath
- Prague
I pack my suit in a bag
I'm all dressed up for Prague
I'm all dressed up with you
All dressed up for him too...
Prepare myself for a war
BeforeI even open up my door
BeforeI even look out
I'm pissing all of my bullets about...
- Rootless Tree
What I want from you is empty your head
But they say be true, don't stay in your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me like a rootless tree
What I want from us is learn to let go
But we fade the forests, fracture the tide
We go blind when we needed to see
- sand
You keep me in a glass jar sealed with a label
You think you know my world
Wake up young girl, you've got a lot to learn
My love, my life, my work, my time
I give them all to you
Your hand in mine we walk, we talk in ryhme
We go the whole night through
- Silent Night
by Lisa Hannigan
(M: Traditional, L: Lisa Hannigan)
Silent night broken night
all is fallen when you take your flight
i found some hate for you just for show
you found some love for me thinking i'd go
don't keep me from crying to sleep
- Sleep Don't Weep
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face is all wet and your day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, or paint my shelf
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I...
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
- Stones taught me to fly
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on
- The Animals Were Gone
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long
The window's open now and the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
I love your depression and I love your double chin
- The Blowe's Daughter
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
- The Blower's
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
- The Blower's Daughter
And so it is
Just like you said
It would be.
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time.
And so it is
The shorter story.
- the blowers daughter
и вот всё так, как ты и говорила
жить мне стало проще, в основном
и вот всё так, короткая история -
ни любви, ни славы, ни героя в ее небе
я не могу глаз от тебя отвести
я не могу глаз отвести
- The Box
Don't give me something to hold in my hand
Something else to believe in
Cause I'm over it
And your reason for wanting to stay
Your reason for wanting to change
My reason for everything I've done to you...
- The Connoisseur of Great Excuse
Of all the foolish things to do
I became a connoisseur of great excuse
And my pessimistic past the blame
Will never make this go away
Of all the foolish things I’ve said
That keep me sleepy almost dead
I’m sorry if I’ve let you down
My eyes were closed, they’re open now
- The Greatest Bastard
I made you laugh, I made you cry
I made you open up your eyes
Didn't I?
I helped you open out your wings,
your legs, and many other things
Didn't I?
- The Professor and La Fille Danse
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
Cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease
I'm sure when I'm older I'll know what that means
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Here's to the man with his face in the mud
And an overcast play just taken away
- The Rat Within the Grain
This would have not 've happened
If I hadn't missed my plane
I would've been there when they told you
I'm the rat within the grain
Within this big misunderstanding, now
We'll be misunderstood
I'm thinking someone's trying to fuck with me, and
Set fire to my wood
- Then Go
Among the afflictions,
With which I've been marked,
None so pretentious, no,
And none quite so dark.
I get the feeling you're bored with me,
Not through habit or frequency,
Did you mother have you easily?
And if there's some place else that you would rather be;
- Toffee
Huge eyes
Know I'm missing
So I close mine
When I'm kissing
Lollipop, licking
With Lola
Sticking like toffee to my teeth
Wait, watch, gravitate
- Toffee Pop
Huge eyes
Know I'm missing
So I close mine
When I'm kissing
Lollipop, licking
With Lola
Sticking like toffee to my teeth
Wait, watch, gravitate
- Volcano
Don't hold yourself like that
cause You'll hurt your knees
well I kissed your mouth, and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
And What I am to you is not real
- When Doves Cry
Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling--can u picture this?
Dream if u can
A courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
- Woman Like a Man
I need a piss,
Wanna hate,
Fuck it up, calm.
My love,
Each and me,
Keep your teeth, wrong.
- Трудно забыть,но помнить труднее...
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
- Я не могу оторвать глаз от тебя
И все произошло
Точно так, как ты сказала
Жизнь проста для меня
Большую часть времени
И это просто
Более короткая история
Нет любви, нет славы
