Unos dos tres catorce!

Lights go down, it’s dark The jungle is your headCan’t rule your heart A feeling is so much stronger than A thought Your eyes are wide And though your soulIt can’t be boughtYour mind can wander

Hello hello I’m at a place called VertigoIt’s everything I wish I didn’t know Except you give me something I can feel, feel

The night is full of holesAs bullets rip the skyOf ink with goldThey twinkle as the Boys play rock and rollThey know they can’t dance At least they know…

I can’t stand the beatsI’m asking for the chequeThe girl with crimson nailsHas Jesus round her neckSwinging to the musicSwinging to the musicOh oh oh oh

Hello hello I’m at a place called VertigoIt’s everything I wish I didn’t know But you give me something I can feel, feel

Check matedOh yeahHours of fun…

All of this, all of this can be yoursAll of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yoursJust give me what I want and no-one gets hurt…

Hello hello We’re at a place called VertigoLights go down and all I knowIs that you give me something

I can feel your love teaching me howYour love is teaching me how, how to kneel…

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

1//VERTIGO 3:13 2//MIRACLE DRUG 3:54

I want to trip inside your headSpend the day there…To hear the things you haven’t saidAnd see what you might see

I want to hear you when you callDo you feel anything at all?I want to see your thoughts take shapeAnd walk right out

Freedom has a scent Like the top of a new born baby’s head

The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI’ve had enough I’m not giving up On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heartThere is no limitThere is no failure here sweetheart Just when you quit…

I am you and you are mineLove makes nonsense of space And time… will disappear Love and logic keep us clearReason is on our side, love…

The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI’ve had enough of romantic loveI’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it upFor a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug

God I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise Below the dinI hear a voiceIt’s whisperingIn science and in medicine “I was a strangerYou took me in”

The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI’ve had enough of romantic loveI’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it upFor a miracle, miracle drug

Miracle, miracle drug

Take these shoesClick clacking down some dead end streetTake these shoesAnd make them fitTake this shirtPolyester white trash made in nowhere Take this shirt And make it clean, cleanTake this soulStranded in some skin and bonesTake this soul And make it sing

Yahweh, YahwehAlways pain before a child is bornYahweh, YahwehStill I’m waiting for the dawn

Take these hands Teach them what to carryTake these handsDon’t make a fistTake this mouth So quick to criticiseTake this mouthGive it a kiss

Yahweh, YahwehAlways pain before a child is bornYahweh, YahwehStill I’m waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming upThe sun is coming up on the oceanThis love is like a drop in the oceanThis love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, YahwehAlways pain before a child is bornYahweh, tell me nowWhy the dark before the dawn?

Take this cityA city should be shining on a hillTake this cityIf it be your willWhat no man can own, no man can takeTake this heartTake this heartTake this heart And make it break

11//YAHWEH 4:22

My cell is ringing No ID I need to know who’s calling

My garden’s overgrown I go out on my belly crawlingI got CCTV, pornography, CNBCI got the nightly news To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of youAll I want is to get right next to youAll I want is your face in a locketPicture in my pocketI take a pill to stop it

I know these fast carsWill do me no good

I’m going nowhereWhere I am it is a lot of funThey’re in the desert to dismantle an atomic bombI watch them channel hopCheck the stocksI’m in detoxI want the lot of what you’ve gotIf what you’ve got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of youAll I want is to be right next to youAll I want is your picture in a locketYour face in my pocketTake a pill to stop it

I know these fast carsWill do me no good

Don’t you worry about your mindDon’t you worry about your mindDon’t you worry about your mind Don’t you worry about your mind

You should worry about the dayThat the pain it goes awayYou know I miss mine sometimes

There is no fictionThat will truly fit the situationI’m documenting every detailEvery conversationI’m not used to talking to somebody in their bodyLook, there’s somebody in a body, somebody in a body

I’m ‘round the corner from anything that’s realI’m across the road from hopeI’m under a bridge in a rip tideThat’s taken everything I call my own

One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowing

I’m on an island at a busy intersectionI can’t go forward, I can’t turn backCan’t see the futureIt’s getting away from meI just watch the tail lights glowing

One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingKnowing, knowing

I’m hanging out to dry With my old clothesFinger still red with the prick of an old roseWell the heart that hurts Is a heart that beatsCan you hear the drummer slowing?

One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingTo knowing, to knowing, to knowing

With special thanks to Noel Gallagher

9//ONE STEP CLOSER 3:48

Baby slow downThe end is not as fun as the startPlease stay a child somewhere in your heart

I’ll give you everything you wantExcept the thing that you wantYou are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one beforeYou steal right under my doorAnd I kneel ‘cos I want you some moreI want the lot of what you got And I want nothing that you’re not

Everywhere you go you shout itYou don’t have to be shy about it

Some things you shouldn’t get too good atLike smiling, crying and celebritySome people got way too much confidence baby

I’ll give you everything you wantExcept the thing that you wantYou are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one beforeYou steal right under my doorI kneel ‘cos I want you some moreI want the lot of what you got And I want nothing that you’re not

Everywhere you go you shout itYou don’t have to be shy about it, noAnd you’ll never be aloneCome on now show your soulYou’ve been keeping your love under control

Everywhere you go you shout itYou don’t have to be shy about it

Everywhere you go you shout itOh my my

And you feel like no-one beforeYou steal right under my doorI kneel ‘cos I want you some moreI want you some more, I want you some more…

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuffYou’re telling me and anyoneYou’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fightYou don’t have to always be rightLet me take some of the punchesFor you tonight

Listen to me nowI need to let you knowYou don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirrorAnd it’s you when I don’t pick up the phoneSometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the timeYou and I… that’s alrightWe’re the same soulI don’t need… I don’t need to hear you sayThat if we weren’t so alikeYou’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me nowI need to let you knowYou don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirrorAnd it’s you when I don’t pick up the phoneSometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talkI’m sick of it all Can - you - hear - me - when - I -Sing, you’re the reason I singYou’re the reason why the opera is in me…

Where are we now?I’ve got to let you knowA house still doesn’t make a homeDon’t leave me here alone...

And it’s you when I look in the mirrorAnd it’s you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can’t make it on your ownSometimes you can’t make it The best you can do is to fake itSometimes you can’t make it on your own

3//SOMETIMES YOU CAN’TMAKE IT ON YOUR OWN 5:05

4//LOVE AND PEACE OR ELSE 4:48

Lay downLay downLay your sweet lovely on the groundLay your love on the trackWe’re gonna break the monster’s backYes we are…Lay down your treasureLay it down now brotherYou don’t have timeFor a jealous lover

As you enter this lifeI pray you departWith a wrinkled faceAnd a brand new heart

I don’t know if I can take itI’m not easy on my kneesHere’s my heart you can break it

I need some release, release, release

We need Love and peaceLove and peace

Lay downLay down your gunsAll your daughters of ZionAll your Abraham sons

I don’t know if I can make itI’m not easy on my kneesHere’s my heart and you can break itI need some release, release, release

We needLove and peaceLove and peace

Baby don’t fightWe can talk this thing throughIt’s not a big problem It’s just me and youYou can call or I’ll phoneThe TV is still onBut the sound is turned downAnd the troops on the ground Are about to dig in

And I wonder where is the love?Where is the love?Where is the love?Where is the love?Love and peace

I was born a child of graceNothing else about the placeEverything was ugly but your beautiful faceAnd it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moonIn the shadow cast across my roomYou heard me in my tuneWhen I just heard confusion

All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am… I am

I like the sound of my own voiceI didn’t give anyone else a choice An intellectual tortoise Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracksSome people got high rises on their backsI’m not broke but you can see the cracksYou can make me perfect again

All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am… I am

I’m aliveI’m being bornI just arrived, I’m at the doorOf the place I started out from And I want back inside

All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am

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

Neon heart dayglo eyes A city lit by firefliesThey’re advertising in the skiesFor people like us

And I miss you when you’re not aroundI’m getting ready to leave the ground…

Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights

Don’t look before you laughLook ugly in a photographFlash bulbs purple irisesThe camera can’t see

I’ve seen you walk unafraidI’ve seen you in the clothes you madeCan 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 aroundI’m getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights

Time… timeWon’t leave me as I am But time won’t take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feelSome pray for others stealBlessings are not just for the ones who kneel… luckily

From the brightest starComes the blackest holeYou had so much to offerWhy did you offer your soul?I was there for you babyWhen you needed my helpWould you deny for othersWhat you demand for yourself?

Cool down mama, cool offCool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wondersI need something otherI would believe if I was ableBut I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a pictureIt was all there to seeThen your face caught up with your psychologyWith a mouth full of teethYou ate all your friendsAnd you broke every heart thinking every heart mends

You speak of signs and wondersBut I need something otherI would believe if I was ableBut I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decideWhether you live or whether you dieThree to a bedSister Ann, she saidDignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wondersBut I need something otherI would believe if I was ableI’m waiting on the crumbs from your table

Little sister don’t you worry about a thing todayTake the heat from the sunLittle sisterI know that everything is not okBut you’re like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rentBut only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chanceOf losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a womanNo I could never take a chance‘Cos I could never understand The mysterious distance Between a man and a woman

You can run from loveAnd if it’s really love it will find youCatch you by the heelBut you can’t be numb for loveThe only pain is to feel nothing at allHow can I hurt when I’m holding you?

I could never take a chanceOf losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman

And you’re the one, there’s no-one elseYou make me want to lose myselfIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the streetOn rue Saint DivineI thought this is the one for meBut she was already mineYou were already mine…

Little sisterI’ve been sleeping in the street againLike a stray dogLittle sisterI’ve been trying to feel complete againBut you’re gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mateWhen the soul wants… the soul waits…

No I could never take a chanceOf losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman
