Текст песни:

Slowdancing tight
My barren heart and I
Your name used to taste so sweet
Then you beat the love right out of me
It′s a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue
And if I could, I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
Love is a powerful force
And it′s a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
And tumble into any open arms
That will only ever do you harm

Oh, you you, it′s always you
The best kisser that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
All for a happy end

It′s a mystery how people behave!
How we worry ourselves to the grave
When he kissed me I lost everything
Then I got up and did it again

Oh you you, it′s always you
The hardest hitter that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
All for a happy end

Текст песни:

Baby boy
Your face is pretty and your life′s a toy
Master man
I′m never better than your latest plan
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

I′ve been your mother, I′ve been your father
Who can ask me for more
I′ve been your sister, I′ve been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Superstar
I′ve tried to educate your childish heart
I made your bed
and I was in it when your faith was dead
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

I′ve been your mother, I′ve been your father
Who can ask me for more
I′ve been your sister, I′ve been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Sweetiepie
I′m your personal pro, you know
You know what number to try when to cry

I′ve been your mother, I′ve been your father
Who can ask me for more
I′ve been your sister, I′ve been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Текст песни:

I did all that I should, well all that I could
but will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but it isn′t me
all my strength is dead and gone
slept as long I could, as long as I should
to find comfort here
slept as long I could, as long as I should
but I still have fear
all my strength is dead and gone...

[Chorus]

black letter day
all the fun has gone away
black letter day
all the joy has gone away
black letter day
all the strength has gone away

I drank all that I could, much more than I should
in simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
to find someone there
all my strength is dead and gone...

[Chorus]

I hope monday will be a better day

Текст песни:

you don′t want the sun to shine in
so you turn the curtains down
your eyes still don′t show me a thing
and you don′t feel it′s sunny outside

you don′t want no joy for a while
but you stay up late at night
it hurts you that she′s still alive
so you′ll raise flowerbeds inside

but she she won′t get bothered at all
she′s just watching the water at fall
so you should give them just what they need
water and poetry
cause she will not bother at all
she′s just watching the water at fall
you should give them just what they need
cause she will not bother at all
but you won′t say you′re not adored by her beauty, celia inside

you don′t want to feel her at all
but who′s that fellowman of hers
with who your dear celia moved
and they′ll sleep happily inside

...and her purity, and her lovely, celia inside

Текст песни:

Don′t blame your daughter
that′s just sentimental
and don′t blame your mom
for all that you′ve done wrong
Your dad is not guilty
you came out a little faulty
and the factory closed
so you can′t hold them liable
You come from an island,
you′re cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
Your autograph is worthless
so don′t send me letters
and don′t mail me cash
′cause your money is no good
What′s left in your matress
is holes and lack of love left
some hair from a horse,
and none of it is yours, man
You come from an island,
you′re cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
And the song you sing today
wasn′t always in your head,
the words you tryin′ to say
are the ones you shouldn′t ′ve said
they′re glistenin′ like diamonds,
go out and find′ em
but don′t blame your daughter
Read me your tombstone,
tell me you′re sorry, fax me your will,
you owe me something still
Blood is like water
the bath that you poured me
has drained and it′s gone,
don′t blame it on your son
And the song you sing today
wasn′t always in your head,
the words you tryin′ to say
are the ones you shouldn′t ′ve said
they′re glistening like diamonds,
go out and find′em
The world is full of diamonds
go out and find′em
but don′t blame your daughter

Текст песни:

I′m gonna watch you while you get me wrong
I′m gonna sing until you hate this song
I′m gonna tell you in my sweetest voice
I′m gonna choose you ′cause you have no choice
This funny thing we′ve got
Is never gonna stop
Oh no

I′m gonna take you to the wilderness
I′m gonna show you things you might have missed
I′m gonna kiss the parts that you have lost
It′s gonna cost you but you might hurt less

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever learn

I′m gonna work ′til we get it on
I′m gonna love you ′til we get along
And when your ears and your eyes are sore
I′m gonna love you just a little bit more

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever
Will we ever
Will we ever learn

Текст песни:

Hey, what did you hear me say
you know the difference it makes
what did you hear me say
Yes, I said it′s fine before
But I don′t think so no more
I said it′s fine before
I′ve changed my mind
I′ve take it back

Erase and rewind
′cause I′ve been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
′cause I′ve been changing my mind
I′ve changed my mind

So where did you see me go
it′s not the right way, you know
where did you see me go
No, it′s not that I don′t know
I just don′t want it to grow
It′s not that I don′t know
I′ve changed my mind
I′ve take it back

Erase and rewind
′cause I′ve been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
′cause I′ve been changing my mind
I′ve changed my mind

Текст песни:

Ease your trouble
we′ll pay them double
not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
what you get high on
and you last just as long as it serves you
Explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
yes, we will carry you
′cause you′re deserted
what′s good, you hurt it
and kills you it keeps you alive
so give it up
in a world of puppets
It′s a shame what they do to us all
can we do anything for you now ?

Текст песни:

Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
Well, I couldn′t say
Slow down and think of your heart, where do you go
Now, how am I supposed to know, I′m always looking away

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can′t tell night from day
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except for cigarettes and wine where there should be a life
You′ve been watching me for a while and you like what you see
It′s in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes that seem to light my face
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mirror, mirror upon the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked from side to side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
You know the camera don′t lie
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes I can′t tell night from day

Come give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah!

Give me your eyes
Give me your eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
