Текст песни:

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I′d lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I′m wide awake
I′m wide awake
Wide awake
I′m not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they′d
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I′m wide awake
I′m wide awake
Wide awake
I′m not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

Текст песни:

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There′s no room
No space to rent in this town

You′re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you′re not moving anywhere

You thought you′d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It′s a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It′s a beautiful day
Don′t let it get away

You′re on the road
But you′ve got no destination
You′re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn′t ring true
You′ve been all over
And it′s been all over you

It′s a beautiful day
Don′t let it get away
It′s a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I′m not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don′t let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I′m not a hopeless case

What you don′t have you don′t need it now
What you don′t know you can feel it somehow
What you don′t have you don′t need it now
Don′t need it now
It was a beautiful day

Текст песни:

16th of June, nine 0-five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There′s a few things I need you to know.
Three coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother′s side
I wasn′t gonna buy just anyone′s cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
Every day I die again, and again I′m reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can′t defeat
Neither down or out
There′s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now

16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I′m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you′re fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0-nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I′m running down the road like loose electricity
While the band in my head plays a striptease
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
The forest fire that is fear so deny it
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out
There′s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
Yeah, yeah

We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I′ve found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it′s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now

Текст песни:

Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline

I have your face here in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children’s clothes and toys
You’re smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Can’t remember what then we did

I haven’t been with a woman, it feels like for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers and then it just goes

Return the call to home

The worst of us are a long drawn out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you’re not going to leave the truth alone
I’m here ‘cos I don’t want to go home

Child drinking dirty water from the river bank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
I’m waiting on the waiter, he’s taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

Now I’ve got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret
You’re so high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon?

Choose your enemies carefully ‘cos they will define you
Make them interesting ‘cos in some ways they will mind you
They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friend

Текст песни:

It’s christmas
Baby, please come home

(yeah!)

The snow’s coming down
I’m watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The churchbells in town
They’re rining a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

Theyr’e singing deck the halls
But it’s not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I’m watching ’em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They’re singing deck the halls
But it’s not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I’d hold back these tears
But it’s christmas day
Baby please come home
Ohh...

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh...
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Текст песни:

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart, day-glow eyes
The city lit by fireflies
They′re advertising in the skies
And people like us

And I miss you when you′re not around
I′m getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don′t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can′t see

I′ve seen you walk unafraid
I′ve seen you in the clothes you′ve made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you′re not around
I′m getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time...time...time...time...time won′t leave me as I am
But time won′t take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily

Текст песни:

(Yeah)

Lover, I′m on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire

She′s a candle burning in my room
Yeah I′m like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I′m beside her
Desire, desire...

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning

She′s the dollars
She′s my protection
Yeah she′s a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can′t let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire

Текст песни:

Take these hands they′re good for nothing
You know these hands never worked a day
Take these boots they′re going nowhere
You know these boots don′t want to stray

You got my head filled with songs
You got my shoelaces undone
Take my shirt, go on take it off me
You can tear it up
If you can tie me down

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved

Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air
Take this tangle of a coversation
And turn it into your own prayer

With my fingers as you want them
With my nails under your hide
With my teeth at your back
And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain

Love′s a bully pushing and shoving
In the belly of a woman
Heavy rhythm taking over
To stick together
A man and a woman
Stick together
Man and woman
Stick together...

And I feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain
And there′s heat in the sun
To see us through the rain

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel...
Do you feel...

Текст песни:

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
At the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I′ve lost all self control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can′t sing but I′ve got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won′t you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole,living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
