Time That is Mine
04:34
|
|||
I come and I go and I want to know
This time that I spend won’t ever end
I feel no control, I open my soul
This time that is mine want to keep it sublime…
This time that is mine...
Time and again I lose a friend
Or lose my way or what to say
I struggle on but where’s it from?
This time that is mine want to keep it sublime…
This time that is mine…
I want to fly then have to cry
Joy bursting out yet dipped in doubt
A world to see, please don’t stop me
This time that is mine want to keep it sublime…
This time that is mine…

#VERSE
Ah ah ah ah
A virus has been detected
My computer might be infected
Don’t shut down
Don’t turn off
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t
#VERSE
Why do they need my date of birth
What’s e-billing really worth
Don’t transfer me
Don’t put me on hold
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t
#VERSE
Why’s my card been blocked, again
I can’t stand your automated voice system
Don’t over-charge me
Don’t disregard me
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t
#VERSE
My network connection has been denied
And my postcode’s not recognised
Don’t credit check me
Don’t subscribe me
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t
#BRIDGE
Don’t give me Reward Points
Don’t want to update Java
Don’t ask me register
Don’t have an authorisation code
Don’t need data whilst roaming
Don’t want to set a password
Don’t give me your premium number
Don’t have another login name
Don’t want to see my balance
Don’t need your Newsfeed or Timeline
Don’t want a Crime Reference number
Don’t have an expiry date
Ahhhrrgh
Ok
#VERSE
It’s giving me an error message
Can I un-tick the insurance package
Don’t beep at me
Don’t crash on me
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t
#BRIDGE
Don’t want to have a two year contract
Don’t know my last ten transactions
Don’t want to connect with a mutual friend
Don’t search me for explosives
Don’t default format my document
Don’t say I need to come back next week
Don’t tell me that the memory’s full
Don’t ask me security questions
Don’t say my ticket’s no longer valid
Don’t tell me to just calm down
Don’t want to take a rail replacement bus
Don’t say
It’s been deleted
Don’t

Dull
02:42
|
|||
I want adventure
I want thing spectacular
I want passion
I want things to happen
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
Mmmmmmmm
The miracle of life
Is making me yawn
I want to move and to breathe
To explore much more
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
Mmmmmmmm
Few people are honest
They don' t want others to have the freedom they've lost
Don't need to breast feed
Why should I DIY
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
Mmmmmmmm
Am I just not ready?
Will I ever be?
It just depresses me
I crave spontaneity
TV and routine inside
Unfit and sense-deprived
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
The day I don't dream is the day I'm dull
Mmmmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmmmmmmm

Non C'è Nessuno
03:09
|

Non c'è nessuno
There's no-one there I know
I stay up high above the sky
Quando voglio ho la forza, cambiare sole a pioggia
Non c'è nessuno
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Fuori da tutto
Far from everything I know
I only see my favourite tree
Guardo tutto quando volo
Soppra montagna o fuoco
Fuori da tutto
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Non mi aspettavo
Ci fosse qualcuno
Adesso lo so
I didn't see
There's someone there like me
Now I can be free

As a child I wanted strawberry mousse
To my dismay it was Taramasalata
You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after
I went to the hairdresser, I asked for red
Orange is not what I said.
You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after
As a teen I dreamed of an Italian Stallion
I fell for a Swiss German
You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after
I spent my life trying to think and concentrate
Then I end up learning meditate
Om
You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after
Aha aha aha aha
Aha aha aha aha
Aha aha aha aha
Aha aha aha aha
You don't always get what you think you're after

Les Moulins de mon Coeur
04:32
|
|||
Comme une pierre que l'on jette dans l'eau vive d'un ruisseau
Et qui laisse derrière elle des milliers de ronds dans l'eau
Comme un manège de lune avec ses chevaux d'?toiles
Comme un anneau de Saturne, un ballon de carnaval
Comme le chemin de ronde que font sans cesse les heures
Le voyage autour du monde d'un tournesol dans sa fleur
Tu fais tourner de ton nom tous les moulins de mon cœur
Comme un écheveau de laine entre les mains d'un enfant
Ou les mots d'une rengaine pris dans les harpes du vent
Comme un tourbillon de neige, comme un vol de goélands
Sur des forêts de Norvège, sur des moutons d'océan
Comme le chemin de ronde que font sans cesse les heures
Le voyage autour du monde d'un tournesol dans sa fleur
Tu fais tourner de ton nom tous les moulins de mon cœur
Ce jour-là près de la source Dieu sait ce que tu m'as dit
Mais l'été finit sa course, l'oiseau tomba de son nid
Et voilà que sur le sable nos pas s'effacent déjà
Et je suis seul à la table qui résonne sous mes doigts
Comme un tambourin qui pleure sous les gouttes de la pluie
Comme les chansons qui meurent aussitôt qu'on les oublie
Et les feuilles de l'automne rencontrent des ciels moins bleus
Et ton absence leur donne la couleur de tes cheveux
Comme une pierre que l'on jette dans l'eau vive d'un ruisseau
Et qui laisse derrière elle des milliers de ronds dans l'eau
Aux vents des quatre saisons, tu fais tourner de ton nom
Tous les moulins de mon cœur

Quando M'en Vo
02:34
|
|||
Quando m'en vo
Quando m'en vo soletta per la via
La gente sosta e mira
E la bellezza mia tutta ricerca in me
Ricerca in me da capo a pie
Ed assaporo allor la bramosia sottil
Che da gl'occhi traspira
E dai palesi vezzi intender sa
Alle occulte belta
Cosi l'effluvio del desio
Tutta ma'ggira
Felice mi fa
Felice mi fa
E tu che sai
Che memori e ti struggi
Da me tanto rifuggi
So ben: le angoscie tue non le vuoi dir
Non le vuoi dir
So ben ma ti senti morir
