Tekst :

The drama s faded
and the dust has settled down
and the looting s over and the fires,
I guess they re finally out
and life goes on and on and on,
though slightly shaken

no more urgency or screaming,
or things breaking
and we ve been here before
bracing ourselves in the doorways

for the aftershocks...
they ll get you everytime
the aftershocks...
just when you think you re fine

the ocean doesn t seem to mind
and the sky still looks the same, a little gray
so i ll just drink this rescued wine
and wonder why I came anyway
cause we ve been here before
standing scared inside these doorways

waiting for the aftershocks...
they ll get you everytime
the aftershocks...
just when you think you re fine

on the day you left i did all those broken lover things
i stood out on the stormy beach, staring at the tide
a heroine in a romantic, tragic scene from far away
for weeks I cried
at every aftershock

for the aftershocks...
they ll get you everytime
the aftershocks...
just when you think you re fine

Tekst :

Oh, I could
hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o clock alarm
would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my
eyes.
My shavin razor s cold and it stings.

Cheer up, Sleepy
Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming
queen.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you
know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without
dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Cheer up,
Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a
homecoming queen.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a
daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

Cheer up, Sleepy
Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming
queen.
[Repeat and fade]

Tekst :

Time after time,
feels like I m fading away
Stopped on a dime,
staring into space
And clarity comes,
and clarity goes
But for all these epiphanies,
I m still lost
Holding the roses

At the start of your life,
are you given a golden key
To personalize, so carefully
And slowly you groove it,
make it your own
And when you find where it fits
well, swing it wide
And follow him home,
examine his soul

And if the moment hums
with something deep and low
Hold on, hold on
And if your timing comes
like you re a single soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on...

I know it s hard,
yeah, you ve got a complicated scene,
They tell you listen to your heart,
whatever the hell that means
And whisper they may,
but they will anyway,
And it s you who ll be living each seconds in between

And if the moment hums
with something deep and low
Hold on, hold on
And if your timing comes
like you re a single soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on...

Confessions and awakenings
Streetcorner serenades,
and midnight trains
Truthful fiction at the heart of things
Believing in the game

Time after time,
feels like I m fading away
Stopped on a dime,
staring into space
And clarity comes,
and clarity goes
But for all these epiphanies,
I m still lost
Holding the roses, holding the roses,
holding the roses

Gorący piasek parzy raniąc me stopy
Ciszą i pustką w głowie dzwoni
Czekam bo kiedy wieczór zapadnie
Tulę w gorący piasek nagie ramiona
Słońce przepala ogniem ciało
Czekam na ciebie wiem że tu będziesz
Zobaczę ciebie nagą
Noc za nocą dzień za dniem...

Śledzisz mój najmnieszy krok
Czuję wbity w siebie wzrok
Pod powiększonym szkłem
Budze się w środku nocy

Już nie zniosę ze spokojem
Wymślonych tych urojeń
Każdy nawet mały znak
Rodzi przemoc zbudza strach
Przez telefon każdy głos
Na podsłuchu dzień...

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you re flawless, then you ll win my love
Don t forget to win first place
Don t forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You ve got to measure up
And make me...

GO!

Uh.

Duh da da.

Uh.

Is it enough to have some love,
small enough to slip inside a book,
small enough to cover with your hand,
because everyone around you wants to look?

It is enough to have some love,
small enough to fit inside the cracks?
The pieces don t fit together so good
with all the breaking and...

You don t remind in mean nothing to you
I d like to be like, to have the chance to
Feel I like I don t want it like it means
But I was born to fat, can t get out of that
So now I...
