line | song |
I just want you to be mine, I don't want this world to shine | |
I remember you when you were a kid; it was pretty strange the things you did | |
You're not the kind that needs to tell me about the bird and the bees | |
Love is the cure for every evil; love is the air that supports the eagle | |
It put the sun into my life, it cut my heartbeat with a knife | |
From my head to my toes, to my teeth, through my nose, you get these words wrong | |
I will send you falling slowly to the earth I see below me | |
I saw some children dance; I watched my life in a trance | |
I don't care about what you do, but if you mess with me, I'll get rid of you | |
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me | |
The sea was very rough, it made me sick, but I like that kind of stuff, it beats arithmetic | |
I'm a shallow man in an hollow land on a beaten track under your command | |
Your behaviour is so volatile not even a zoo would impound you | |
My eyes are made of stone, just like your sordid home | |
Even though you're stupid, I still follow you | |
Ship sails out to sea, away from me, I just stand and stare | |
You had the brightest future writing songs on your computer | |
But out there the world is a beautiful place, with mountains, lakes and the human race | |
I don't know. Nobody knows. Nobody even tries to find out what they want to know | |
In my case, it was not my fault; other people made that call | |
When I hear a baby cry, when I see an old man die, that's just the way it is | |
I'm not cruel and you're not evil, and we're not like all those stupid people who can't decide Which book to read unless the paper sows the seed | |
I was sure that I told you, it was clear from your face. You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place | |
Travel with a document all across the continent | |
Our love is like the earth, the sun and the trees and the birth | |
| line | song |
With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save, with our rifles and grenades | |
Were you abandoned in your youth, because if not, you will be soon | |
In a manger like Christ I lay; yellow fever, yellow hay | |
It had to come; the ship has landed. It's time to run; the crew are stranded | |
My brother said that he was dead; I saw his face and shook my head | |
I feel your presence everywhere; in the corner over there | |
But even though I give you special treatment, you keep getting high, juvenile delinquent | |
Gotta get away from here; take that car and push that gear | |
When it happens, you will be no friend of mine. Take the first chance, when I am no longer free | |
Pretending not to see his gun, I said 'Let's go out and have some fun' | |
I don't wanna be like other people are; don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car | |
What I think goes on in this world for a mother and a father and a boy and a girl | |
You know that I don't care, and I'd like you to know that I don't care | |
There's no place where I have been; there's no limit I can show | |
But you came in the night and took my heart to _______________ in the dark | |
It's an occupation I don't like, but it pays the rent and turns on the light | |
To buy a drink there is so much more reasonable; I think I'll go there when it gets seasonable | |
You'll never guess the things that I do, I'll have the devil 'round for tea | |
It's a jungle, I'm a freak; hear me talk, but never speak | |
Parasites and literasites, they'd burn me if they can | |
Now I hope you know this song is about a child who now has gone | |
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue; guess what I'm gonna do to you? | |
When we walk through open doorways, counting time in one or more ways | |
Here comes love, it's like honey; you can't buy it with money | |
