Thought i was light years ahead of them
But i was blind they were only miles
Light years ahead of them, he must be right

I was only pretending to be just another wannabe
A love supreme in flip flops
There might be peacocks in disguise
You’d better practice your passing shots
Beware of bishops dealing with their ups and downs

You were born in Christchurch baby
Listen to the bells
They’re ringing again in your ears
They resound in the evening
They resound when you’re young
They’re sound in the morning
They resound when you’re getting old/get things done

Is it possible?
Is it achievable?
Has it been done before,
Yeah there's so many things before,
You said I'm on a path,
And said you're on one too,
I got a map of the world,
Yeah there's so much I will never see and do.

So you could come with me,
But I'm walking asleep,
I'll take you to,
Somewhere you might wanaa be,
don't fall in love,
‘Cause it’s a waiting game.

Am I remarkable,
Or am I just the same,
I'm a familiar piece,
In a familiar game,
And I sat beauty down,
And cursed her to the flames,
And I'm going too,
Just let me out and show me the way.

So you could come with me,
But I'm walking asleep,
I'll take you to,
Somewhere you might wanaa be,
don't fall in love,
‘Cause it’s a waiting game.

Loneliness –
Ain't no coward's friend;
For folks like me though
It's a constant.
Something I know,
Something I can lean on,
Something to hold,
When everyone else is gone.
I was lucky to have you,
We laid side by side.
Glad when you said hello,
I was glad when you said goodbye.
Honey, I – I ain't got no fear.
Been ‘round and ‘round,
And I've seen many a tear.
And you and I,
We are free
And we run.

You're gonna have to get real strong,
If ya gonna sing this song.
Find your bravery –
If yer gonna go it alone.
Oh, in a little while,
You're just gonna "be".
Take it from someone wild,
Oh it's good to be free!
Honey, I – I ain't got no fear.
Been ‘round and ‘round,
And I've seen many a tear.
And you and I,
We are free
And we run.

Texarkana en route to New Orleans –
My baby fell from his bike.
And I was told he lay conscious;
And he knew death would arrive.

Ride, ride, ride, ride…

From weeping trees blue bottles hang –
And southern grass come covered with mist.
Could he not stay on the road we paved?
The dirt devours those who fall adrift.

Ride, ride, ride, ride…

They took his body back to the Golden State;
Where his mother wept a sad goodbye.
And not a dry eye was to be seen –
Unless you looked into my eyes.

Ride, ride, ride, ride…

It’s been a long time
Since I left home
Not taking a lot with me
Just willing to make it on my own

Be sure where to go
That’s what I’ve been told
But I was happy just for being on the road

I can bring you flowers
I can bring you rain
I can bring whatever you want me to ease you pain

It’s all that I collected on the road
And now I bring it back home

It’s been a long time
Since I’ve been away from home
Just hoping for them to see
I’m about to make it on my own

Be sure where to go
That’s what I’ve been told
But I was happy just for being on the road

I can bring you flowers
I can bring you rain
I can bring whatever you want me to ease you pain
I can bring you silver
I can bring you gold
I can bring whatever you need me to heat your cold

It’s all that I collected on the road
It’s all that I collected on the road
And now I bring it back home
And now I bring it back home

On a cold and rainy afternoonYou found my pieces fighting back to lifePatiently you’re lifting me from my own obscurityIn no time I’ll be walking again
I’ve been holding more than I could takeThough I've heard we only get what we deserveWhat if now I wanna say I am doneWill I ever get to be someone
Please take this load off my shoulderSo I can do the same for youI’ll take you homeSo one dayYou can take me too
On a cold and rainy afternoonI found your pieces fighting back to lifePatiently we are lifting each otherIn no time we will be walking again
Please take this load off my shoulderSo I can do the same for youI’ll take you homeSo one dayYou can take me too
So one dayYou can take me tooSo one day
Please take this load off my shoulderSo I can do the same for youI’ll take you homeSo one dayYou can take me too

I can't wait to be back home with everyone,
I love and there' s not long to wait,
Christmas is on the way.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

Time to come together again,
Christmas is on the way.

It's been a good year but there have been hard times,
Having you close by is all I need,
To feel complete.

It's been too long since we got together,
Let's make memories we'll share forever ,
I feel it,
Christmas is on the way.

I can't wait to be back home with everyone,
I love and there's not long to wait,
Christmas is on the way.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

Time to come together again,
Christmas is on the way.

Rat a tap tap;
Oh don’t you come and ask;
Am I a coming back?
The sky has gone black on us.

Don’t you weep –
Blame myself for these things
Known I was stronger than he –
And all you weaklings knew it.

Toodle loo;
They all abandoned you
One bruised and another screwed,
But I was the only loved.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
I was the only love.

Keep that bed.
Now brother, keep that rug.
Lord knows I was given so much –
And the devil keeps me fed.

On the wall. On the stove –
And in the blank book you draw –
There are signs of Hannah Leah
There are signs of our love.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
There are signs of love.

On a black, blue night
I go a wandering:
Out over Houston –
Along Avenue A.
Hannah Leah
On Avenue A.

Ku Klux Klan;
There’s evil in every man.
Come love her when you can –
And see about Hannah Leah.

Thinking of the memories
Of a distant timeTrying hard to recollect the pieces of my lifeI realise there’s so much to be thankful for
Each and every day
I could see the sunriseAnd always be back homeThough I feel I still have to learn to let goLet go
Cannot build a castle on my ownNeed a friend, a face I can count on
Please don’t forget I care for youNo matter if it’s as far as the moonOur memories will remain

Is there out there still
Life on the streets
And hearts still beating
In the city?
Or are there only eyes
That burn with fear
And tears that sear
Down the faces of the dead?
Seems to me we lost them long ago
There’s too much pain
Not much pity
Got to get these tombstones
Off my brain
Here and now
Not in the fucking ever after.

FR:

Est-ce que dehors il y a encore
De la vie dans les rues
Et des coeurs qui battent
Dans la ville?
Ou n'y a t'il que des yeux
Qui brûlent appeurés
Et des larmes qui brûlent
En coulant les visages des morts
Il me semble que nous les avons perdus il y a longtemps
Il y a trop de douleur
Peu de pitié
Il faut que je chasse ces pierres tombales
Ee mon esprit
Ici et maintenant
Pas dans ce putain de lendemain

Il y avait trop de dope hier soir
De retour sur la route à la lumière du matin
On suivra les cimes
Et maintenant tu me montres ce que tu as.
On peut sentir les vents errants
Soufflant dans nos cheveux de montagne
Sur ces anciennes routes, le monde se réveille.
Il y avait trop de fantôme hier soir
De retour sur la route à la lumière du matin
On suivra les cimes
Et maintenant tu me montres ce que tu as.
As-tu déjà vu cette route
Il y avait trop d’amour hier soir !
Montre-moi ce que tu as, ce que tu as.

The white and shining building
Things are going up
This morning lasts forever
My sweet buttercup
The building getting bigger
As the people get smaller
And the rhythms is more funky
And the water is cool
It looks like everyone loves you
It looks like you're gonna win
Just like that shiny white building
We're bigger bigger bigger than everything
I saw you in the board room
Everyone sat on their chair
But I saw that you were different
You had that thing in your hair
I know that They're gonna love this
It looks like you're gonna win
Just like that shiny white building
We're bigger bigger bigger than everything
And when the Viking’s invaded
And when the Saxons when home
You have permission to land here
Yeah you are free to roam

ES:

La conocí yendo a casa espontánea yo sin fe.
Para creer me la encontraba a punto de llover.
Había un tercer personaje admitiré también lo que sé, lo que sé.
Bella que te ves con él, enamorada de cien.

Inevitable tu juego de a la mañana ven,
escondidas, tiroteos y crispetas también.
Pupilas que van a cien, no podremos negar bien,
nada, nada…

Nos hundimos trago a trago hasta devolver.
Luego te vas y es muy tarde para ya volver.
No crecimos cautivos y sabemos correr y correr y correr...
Somos el mejor juego, fichas el uno del otro
¿Que esperabas buen final?
No.



EN:

I met her going home spontaneously, I had no faith.
To believe I met her when it was about to rain.
There was a third character I will also admit what I know, what I know.
Beautiful you look with him, in love a hundred ways.

Inevitable your game of in the morning come,
hide-and-seek, shootings and pop corn too.
Pupils that go a hundred ways, we won't be able to deny well,
nothing, nothing...

We sink drink by drink until we return.
Then you leave and it's too late to come back.
We didn't grow up captive and we know how to run and run and run...
We're the best game, tokens for each other.
Did you expect a good ending?
No.
