Did you sweep us far from your feet
All the stars may shine a bright
You're softly spoken words
In the days, the golden days,
I can't hold this state anymore,
Closer, no hesitation
Did I see a moment with you,
How can I forget you
We suffer everyday
No one has said what the truth should be
Forgotten throws at anothers lie
Inside you're pretending,
To pretend that one can find,
Oooh, Can anybody see the light,
I don't want to hurt you,
Please could you stay a while to share my grief,
It's a fire,
Am ever so lost,
Ooh, can't anybody see,
How can I believe this miracle,
I am lost and found,
I'm so tired of playing,
Fade Out

Portishead | Portishead
Portishead | Dummy
Reset in stone the stark belief
Salted eyes and a sordid dye,
Too many years.
But don't despair,
This day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.
Did you feed us tales of deceit
Conceal the tongues who need to speak?
Subtle lies and a siourd queen,
The truth is sold, The deal is done.
But don't despair,
This day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.
Undefined, no signs of regret,
Your swollen pride assumes respect,
Talons fly as a last disguise,
But no return, the time has come.
So don't despair,
And this day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.
Oh, if you take these things from me.
All Mine
All the clouds maybe blind
But when you smile
Oh How I feel so good
But that I can hardly wait to hold you
And fold you never enough, render your heart to me
All mine
You'll have to be
From that cloud, number nine
Angel stars shall decline
And with such sad regret
Oh as those starry skies
As they swiftly fall
Make no mistake
You shan't escape
Tethered and tied
There nowhere to hide from me
All mine
You'll have to be
So don't resist, we shall exist
Until the day, until the day, I die
All mine
You'll have to be
Undenied
Release my own desire
Undenied, told to me
And so bare is my heart
I can't hide
Then so where does my heart
Belong
Release your tender touch
My senses can't deny
Oh so strong, my ??
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
Then so where does my heart
Belong
Now that I found you
And seen behind those eyes
How can I carry on
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
And so so where does my home
Belong, belong
Belong, belong
Half Day Closing
When everybody knew what they wanted
That ain't here today
Through the times of last and low
And stop the things trying the past day
They don't feel the same
Dreams, so believe they come
Time, life it self goes on
From beyond the shoupion skies
The money talks and leaves us hypnotized
Don't pay the way
Underneath the fading sun
The silent song of a business man
Has left us choking
Dreams, so believe they come
Time, life it self goes on
In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
Dreams, I believe they've gone
Time, life it self goes on
Over
Understand me anymore,
To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over
I can't mold this state anymore,
Recognize me anymore,
To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over * 2
To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over * 3
Oh It's all over, yeah,
Oh It's all over, yeah, oh oh oh.
Humming
Give me all that you have,
And it's been so long,
That I can't explain
And it's been so long,
Right now so wrong
Naked
My thoughts are creeping
Too late
The show has begun
'Cause it's been so long
That I can't confess
And it's been so long
Right now so wrong
Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unready
If I remain how will I know ?
'Cause it's been so long
That I can't be sure
And it's been so wrong,
Right now, so wrong.
Mourning Air
In a half lit world,
I'm frightened to believe,
But I must try
If I stumble, if I fall,
I'm reaching out in this mourning air.
Have I got the strength to ask?
Beyond the window,
I feel this fear alone,
Until we have,
Taunted on steel
If I tremble or fall,
I'm reaching out in this mourning air
Should I fear the moment with you?
To softly whisper,
I crave nothing else so much,
Longing to reveal
Taunted on a steel I can feel your touch
I'm reaching out in this mourning air
I'm reaching out in this mourning air
Seven Months
Disregard how I feel
Silently listen
To the words I can't see
As long as I have tried
As low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trilight sea
Why should I forgive you
After all that I've seen
Quietly whisper
When my heart wants to scream
But as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trilight sleep
There's no time to rest
Or to reconsider
For this cruel unsafe
Won't conseive
For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trilight sea
Only You
What is it for
These crams of illusion
Are fooling us all
And now I am wearie
And I feel like I do
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
The size of our fight
It's just a dream
We've cruched everything
I can't see in this morning selfishly
How we fell
And I feel like I do
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
Now that we've chosen to take all we can
The shade of autumn will stare bitter end
Years of frustration laid down side by side
And It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
Elysium
I know undecided that I feel this way
If you feel desire
Would you betray yourself
But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
No one should fear what they cannot see
I know once to blame it's just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes,
And how I despise myself
But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken, you'll never know
You're feathered secret say
But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
And you can't deny how I feel
Oh why should you decide for me
Western Eyes
The heart of love is our own deny
Faithless creeds consolidating
Holding down sweet charity
With western eyes and serpent's breath
We lay our own conscious to rest
But I'll make it
At the view
Yes I'm breaking
At the scenes just like you
They have valley's of a certainty
The innocent they can't hide away
To crucify infolidating
Turn into this honesty
With western eyes and serpent's breath
They lay there own conscious to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heroes chandeliers
So I'll make it
At the view
Yes I'm breaking
At the scenes just like you
I feel so cold
On hookers and gin
This mess we're in
Look 'round you've been swept aside,
Somewhere, where they can forget
Divine, a buried chain
Still holding on,
This ocean will not be grasped
All for nothing
Did you really want * 4
Refuse to surrender,
Strung out until ripped apart,
Who dares,
Who dares to condemn?
All for nothing
Did you really want * 4
Sour Times
Fantasies and morning rose,
Forbidden fruit, hidden lies,
Courtesies that I despise,
In me
Take a ride, take a shot now,
'Cause nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief,
That fantasies of sinful screams,
Bear the facts or soon will die,
End the vows no need to lie,
Enjoy,
Take a ride, take a shot now,
'Cause nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
Uh, Am I what and why?
'Cause all I have left is the memories of yesterday,
Oh the sour times
Cause nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
After time the bitter taste,
Of innocence, descent or race,
Scattered seed, buried lives,
Mysteries of our disguise,
Reborn,
Circumstance will decide
'Cause nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
'Cause nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
Nobody loves me, it's true,
Not like you do
Strangers
Where the moon meets the dunes,
And the tide is rising,
Did you realise no one can see inside your view,
Did you realise the world inside belongs to you
Ooh, just set aside your fears and lie
With the sole desire
Done it morning, done it now, and it ain't real,
On in this side,
Done it morning, done it now, and it ain't real,
On in this side,
Done it morning, done it now, and it ain't real,
Done it morning, done it now, 'cause this ain't real,
On in this side
Ooh can't anybody see the light,
Where the moon meets the dew,
And the tide rising,
Did you realise no one can see inside your view
Did you realise the world inside belongs to you
It Could Be Sweet
No reason have I but fear,
An' I ain't guilty of crimes accused before,
But I'm guilty of fear.
I'm sorry to remind,
But I'm scared of what we're creatin',
This love ain't fair.
You don't get something for nothing,
Ooh now,
Gotta try a little harder,
It could be sweet,
Like a long forgotten dream.
And we don't need them,
To cast the fate we have,
Love don't always shine through,
'Cause I don't want to loose,
What we had last time you were leaving,
This love ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing,
Ooh now,
Gotta try a little harder,
It could be sweet
But the thoughts we try to deny,
Take a toll upon our lives.
Struggle on the depths of pride,
Tangled up in single lives
'Cause I don't wanna loose,
What we had last time you're leaving,
This love ain't fair.
You don't get something for nothing,
Ooh now,
Gotta try a little harder,
'Cause I don't wanna loose,
What we had last time you're leaving,
This love ain't fair.
You don't get something for nothing,
Ooh now,
Gotta try a little harder,
It could be sweet
Wandering Star
It's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way,
And the time that I will suffer less,
Is when I never have to wait
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Those who have seen the needles I now tread,
Like a husk from which your darkness now has fled,
And the masks that the monsters wear,
To feed upon their prey
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Doubled up inside,
Take a while to share my grief,
Always doubled up inside,
Taunted, Cool,
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
It's A Fire
These dreams that pass me by,
The salvation I desire,
Keeps getting me down,
'Cause we need to recognize mistakes,
For time and again,
So let it be known,
For what we believe in,
I can see no reason,
For it to fail,
'Cause this life is a farce,
I can't breathe through this mask,
Like a fool...
So breathe on, sister, breathe on,
From this one self,
Testify or tell,
It's fooling us now,
So let it be known,
For what we believe in,
I can see no reason,
For it to fail,
'Cause this life is a farce,
I can't breathe through this mask,
Like a fool...
So breathe on little sister, breathe on,
Oh, so breathe on little sister, like a fool...
Numb
I can't find my way,
Been searching, but I have never seen,
But turning, a turning from deceit
'Cause a child rose his light,
Tried to reveal what I could feel
I can't understand myself -anymore,
'Cause I'm still feelin' lonely, feelin' so unholy
'Cause a child rose his light,
Tried to reveal what I could feel,
And this loneliness,
Just won't leave me alone,
Oh no
I'm fooling somebody,
A faithless path I roam,
Seething to breathe this secretly,
A silence, this silence I can't bear
'Cause a child rose his light,
Tries to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone,
Oh no,
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone,
Oh lady, you're the one * 2
Roads
We've got a war to fight,
Love will find a way,
Regardless of what they say,
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment, how can it feel this wrong?
Stoned in the morning light
I feel,
No more can I say,
From self to myself,
I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right,
Surely that ain't right
Ooh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Love will find a way,
Regardless of what they say,
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment, how can it feel this wrong?
How can it feel this wrong,
From this moment, How can it feel this wrong.
Ooh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Love will find a way,
Regardless of what they say,
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment, how can it feel this wrong?
Pedestal
Where the wind blows dry
Your destiny,
Through the force of our mind,
Undenied by desire,
Oh, you abandoned me,
How I suffer
Ridicule breathes a sigh
You abandoned me,
Lost forever,
Hush, can you hear?
Enter and rejoice this pedestal,
Where the rainbow's high,
Your destiny,
Mystery of all time,
Oh, no time make a reason,
Ridicule breathes a sigh,
No time, make a reason,
Hush hear him cry!
No time, make a reason * 3
Biscuit
Stranger things have come your way,
It's just I'm scared,
Got hurt a long time ago,
Can't make myself hurt,
No matter how hard I scream
Oh sensation,
It's enslaved of sensation,
Full-fed yet I still hunger,
Torn inside,
Haunted I tell myself, yet I still wonder,
Down inside,
Its tearing me apart
Oh sensation,
It's enslaved of sensation,
I'll never fall in...
I'll never fall in love again, x?
It's over now
At the last relief,
A mother's son has left me sheer,
The shores I seek,
Are crimson taste divine
Can't make myself hurt,
No matter how hard I scream
Oh sensation, It's enslaved of sensation,
I'll never fall in love again,
It's over now...
Glory Box
Playin' with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a tempteress too long,
Oh yeah,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a women,
I just wanna be a woman
From this time unchained,
Were all lookin' at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind,
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over and give us some room
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a women,
I just wanna be a woman
So don't you stop bein' a man,
Just take a little look from outside when you can,
Sow a little a tenderness,
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a women,
I just wanna be a woman
It's all I wanna be, is a woman,
For this is the beginning of forever and ever,
It's time to move over now,
It's all I want to be
I'm so tired of playing,
Playin' with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a tempteress too long
