B i o g r a p h y
 (by Sean Cooper)

Experimental hip-hop outfit UNKLE was one of the original artists releasing material through noted U.K. label Mo' Wax, which helped launch the instrumental mid-'90s downtempo breakbeat revival eventually termed trip-hop. Though hardly the label's highest profile group (at least until the long-delayed release of their debut LP in 1998), UNKLE numbered among its members label-head James Lavelle, who formed Mo' Wax while still in his teens as an antidote to the increasingly stale acid jazz/Northern soul scene. Stripping the music down to its barest of essentials — bass, percussion, minimal samples, and heavy effects — the Mo' Wax sound (best exemplified by the second Mo' Wax label comp, Headz, as well as its sequel, the two-part Headz II) quickly gained respectability and a large audience. Although not as prolific as other Mo' Wax artists such as DJs Shadow and Krush, Lavelle's group nonetheless played a crucial role in cementing Mo' Wax's early sound though their Time Has Come double EP, the latter of which featured remixes of the title track by Plaid, Portishead, and U2 producer Howie B. The group comprised the trio of Lavelle, Tim Goldsworthy — a mate of Lavelle's since childhood — and producer Kudo, of seminal Japanese label Major Force (and a member of the on-again, off-again psychedelic beat crew Skylab). Previous to his entrée into production, Lavelle along with Goldsworthy was deep into New York hip-hop and electro, the emerging late-'80s Sheffield bleep scene, the English acid jazz scene (which he covered as a columnist for Straight No Chaser magazine), and of course the acid house and techno explosions that were redefining the English counterculture at the time. The pair hooked up with third member Kudo through the growing rep of the latter's Love T.K.O. project, whose outbound interpretations of breakbeat and acid jazz drew Lavelle's ear. While Goldsworthy and Kudo remained more heavily involved in nuts 'n' bolts production (especially given the success of Mo' Wax, with the penning on an expansive partial ownership deal with A&M Records in 1996), Lavelle is heavily involved in the conceptual and organizational end, crafting beats and laying out vague sketches his partners then expand into full-blown tracks. Despite the scarcity of released material, UNKLE grew to wider acclaim during 1996 through remix projects for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Tortoise. After Goldsworthy and Kudo were effectively replaced by Mo' Wax bill-payer DJ Shadow, the all-star LP Psyence Fiction finally appeared in 1998. It was a disappointment considering the advance hype, and DJ Shadow distanced himself from the collective. Lavelle, amidst much work as a DJ, recruited singer/songwriter Richard File for the second UNKLE full-length, 2003's Never, Never, Land.

Guns Blazing (Drums Of Death Part 1)

Original Star Wars Trailer (before the movie's released in 1977) Sample :
Somewhere in space, this may all be happening right now

U.N.K.L.E. 77 are requesting information...

Styles like Al Pacino
Reno until the parcelino
The mad dino with the bambino, the gambino
Digger than Jim Colisemo
More reservoir dogs than Tarantino
Scales for Venezuela, Brown as Ni O
Making the block hotter than Jalepe OS
G. Luciano
Be wettin' shit like Pesci in "Casino"
Fifty dollar cigar seer
The Bosnia, the mafia
Don P. like Garcia
Drug Czar and the baby-Pah beater
The M-8 behind the bar-freer
The poughkenoughs, the panama skier
Down with the parmesan
Ready to comb like Vietnam with arms
'Cause the hollow-points and phenomenon
The cheddar-spreader
The killer with the gold Carretta
N-Leader
The sweater-letter with the hollow letter
Drama-setter
The patmeretta gettin' redder kids and mamma
Shredder
Infra-red clow off the armour better
The godfather, the problem solver
Coming through with the 6 shell revolver
Hot as lava
Guns skills that reel and in the 'ville I be the barber
Gangster saga, the motha-fuckin' face carver

Drums of death hold your breath
Give you a dose of shit that's dope as soda
The underworld family cosa-nostra
Pearl-handle inside the shoulder-holster
G. Luciano with a click but nothin' but N-S & Chicanos
You get hit up like Castrelano
italiano like crime familia
N- don't get familiar
Me and my goons might have to kill you
Up in New York
We play bloodsports at home court
And hold down forts
Soon as ya caught, get your dome torched
G Rap and Dj Shadow leave your bone squashed
Squeeze the chrome short, take no shorts
We judge and jury in the home court
Give you the clown corpse dead on the sidewalk
Surrounded by mad pedefors
Your whole frame laid in the white chalk
You got the smoking section
First-class tickets to resurrection
Forever destined to a place where N-S never rest in
Headed in hell's direction
Lost at the crossroads and intersection
Should've wore a vest for chest protection
Slug fill you to capacity, someone at the dance
Someone with the hand velocity of Butch Cassidy
Bitch N- with the audacity to blaspheme me
Got yourself caught in a motha-fuckin' tragedy

Drums of death

UNKLE Main Title Theme

(There, there, there, there)
Put aside the everyday world and come with us
Into the realm of imagination
The middle ground between light and shadow
U-N-K-L-E
Would've ordinarily unveiled themselves as a guarantee of anonymity
But could include among other notable figures
DJ Shadow and James Lavelle
Keep on rockin'
Keep on rock, rock, rock
Keep on rockin'
Keep-keep-keep on rock, K-L-E, keep on, K-L-E
Keep on, L-E, L-E, rockin'
U-N-K-L-E, U-N-K, U-N-K, U-N-K-K-L-L-E
It's the awesome eternal UNKLE word, word
Word
Science fiction, science
Science fiction, science fiction
Science, science fict, bio-breaker
An adventure unlike anything on your planet
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, keep keep on rockin'
Keep, keep, keep, keep on, keep on
Keep keep on rockin'
Keep on, U, keep on, N, keep on, K
Keep on, L, keep on, E
Keep on rockin', E
U-N-K-L-E
There were too many of us
We had access to too many, uh, too much money
Too much equipment, and little by little we went insane
Fiery the angels fell
Burning with the fires of Orc
U-N-K-L-E, U-N-K, U-N-K, U-N-K-K-L-L-E
A ticket to nothingness

Bloodstain

(Feat. Alice Temple)

They say if you took it all away
This love would fall apart
I say, no way
You don't know the size of my heart

Vicious, suspicious
It doesn't matter what I say
Users and losers
There's nothing here to make me stay

Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain

No gain with no pain
My scars are deeper than you think
Tie me, try me
One more time before I sink

Big lies, big times
This love is not what we're about
It's too late, and I'm too straight
It's time to blow this fire out

Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain on a blue vein

Take me softly
I'm going crazy for your touch

Bloodstain on a blue vein
(Blue blood, blue blood, blue blood)
Take it with no shame
(No take, no take, no take)

Be Be K Roche sample :
I'm alone
And dissatisfied
And someone else is alone
And dissatisfied too

Star Wars Holiday Special Sample :

Unreal

Star Wars Holiday Special Sample :
(source: http://www.blueharvest.net/scoops/holiday-script.shtml)
Maybe I can help you ?

How should you feel
When you've felt everything you can feel
And you still feel unreal ?

How should you feel
When you've felt everything you can feel
And you still feel unreal ?
You're unreal
How do you feel

Lonely Soul

(Feat. Richard Ashcroft)

God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah, yeah

I believe there's a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there's a day and a place
That we will go to and I know you wanna share

There's no secret to livin'
There's no secret to livin'
Just keep on walkin'
There's no secret to dyin'
There's no secret to dyin'
Just keep on flyin'

I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame

God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls

I believe there's a time
When the cord of life should be cut, my friends
Cut the cord, my friend
I believe there's a time
When the cord can be cut and this vision ends
Let this vision end

But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my fame

Walking in the cold
Just keep on flyin'
There'll be a flashlight
On the mountain high

God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a lonely soul

I'm going to die in a place that don't know my name
I'm going to die in a place that don't know my name

God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
I'm a lonely soul

So long, little chapel
Sweet is the little sound
Pack up your light
Pack up your light
Say goodbye to the holy water life
Listening and
Oh, we get in and out
Pushing it in

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Joe who corrected many mistakes ***

Getting Ahead In The Lucrative Field Of Artist Management

Ballbuster commercial sample :

The name of the game is ballbuster!
Its a family game, fun for children
And for adults, it's exciting!
You make strategic offensive and defensive moves
Then try to bust your opponents balls!
Its as easy as checkers, but exacting, like pool!
You're a ballbuster!
Ballbuster, a great new game from mego!

*** Thanx a lot to Kári who corrected a mistake on this one ***

Nursery Rhyme

(Feat. Badly Drawn Boy)

Does it mean I never let you know
Each time I turn inside
When I fully grow, I'll outsize you
But I won't let you fall in love
You know it flows over me
And you won't let me drown inside
Sing a nursery rhyme to keep me quiet
Sing a nursery rhyme to keep me quiet
Won't you please stay close to me, close to me
Carry through your ecstasy
You can't stop me breathing
Even when you're on fire
Know that you're weaving
With my emotional wires
Flows through me, in through me, out through me
Over me, filling me, feeding me electrically

It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love

I have to breathe the air you breathe, I'm inside you
In a room inside a room, I'm inside you
The colour changes follow your emotion
I can see when you're feeling desire
I feel him close to you
While I just walk around inside you
Don't let him close to me
Not when you know it's not the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
The one that you love

It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love
It's electric ballroom love

Keep me quiet
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while you're on fire
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while you're on fire
Won't you sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while you're on fire
Please just sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while I'm inside
Please just sing me a nursery rhyme
To keep me quiet while I'm inside
I won't let you fall in love
You know inside, the baby knows

I won't let you fall in love (we're in this together)
You know inside, the baby knows (we're in this forever)
I won't let you fall in love (we're in this together)
You know inside, the baby knows (we're in this forever)
I won't let you fall in love (we're in this together)
You know inside, the baby knows (we're in this forever)
The baby knows (keep me quiet) (we're in this together)
The baby knows (keep me quiet)
The baby knows (keep me quiet) (we're in this forever)
The baby knows (keep me quiet)
You're on fire, you're on fire (we're in this together)
Keep me quiet, breathe the air you breathe (we're in this forever)
Don't breathe

The best MC in history
(Check me out) MC...MC....MC....

Now I'ma break it down in the UNKLE style
Drums of death that are worth your while
In the file, I'll dial, I said
Anyone who says we're not versatile
'Cause it's me, M-I-K-E to the D
Getting down, U-N-K-L-E
For this, you pay a fee, it's not for free
Coming to the end of the century
Crossin' continental with these beats
And we can get asses jumpin' out your seats
The drop-top up with the Flintstone feets
‘Cause I wanna get you down with addictive treats
Hand me the mic and I will say
Living positive each and every day
Whether in the fall or the month of May
Lavelle be getting down with no delay
(Down with no delay)

Yeah, drums of death, y'all
Puttin' it to the test, y'all
Never rest, y'all, yeah
Check it out

I got a little story to tell
With DJ Shadow and James Lavelle
It starts right now in history
And I am known as the rapper Mike D
Funky, funky beats, one-two, break it down
Deliver it on down with the a-one sound
Ounce by ounce and pound for pound
Got that shit that's out of bounds
The beat's on time and I hope you feel
Nice and complete like a happy meal
Sounds of tomorrow, can't y'all just steal?
Or is it too hectic for y'all to deal?
Gotta keep moving 'til we hit the top
My boys UNKLE gonna let the beat drop
Grab the mic and I start to mop
Like I done since day one in the game of hip hop
Hip hop....hip hop

Whew, that was hot! Now, dig this....

Chaos

(Feat. Atlantique)

-Ordo ob kao, "Order out of chaos", and the idea is that, uh, with the
influence of powerful forces behind the scene, you can bring order out of the
chaos that we see. We know, for instance, that much of the....
-...an eerie order underneath even chaos, as if the finger of God,, in order
and disorder, is always there....
-...I think he has nothing to support this. Y-you're so full of it!
Aliens....Protecting society how? Chaos happens. There's too many people here...

Gotta learn the way to turn
Hat over eye
Feeling dead more than alive
Give her something to rely on
One more time

No one hears the sound
Fear is all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby

No way in, no way out
Empty talk and TV shouts
Got to find the way around
No, you ain't no lifer
In this town

No one hears the sound
Fear is all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby

Stop the beat, hear the sound
Time has come for you to speak
Your mind

Can't you hear the sound
Chaos all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby
Learn to fly

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian who corrected some mistakes ***

Rabbit in your headlights

(Feat. Thom Yorke)

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Scared of the spotlight
You don't come to visit
I'm stuck in this bed

Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when she's crying
She cries when she's laughing
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toilet
Money to burn

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away


Sample from movie Jacob's Ladder :
If you're frightened of dying, and, and you're holding on
You'll see devils tearing your life away
But, if you've made your peace
Then the devils are really angels
Freeing you from the earth

White worms on the underground
Caught between stations
Butter fingers
I'm losing my patience

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
You got money to burn
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away

Away
Away
Away

Away
Away
Away

Outro (Mandatory)

Uh, I feel that this has given me the most incredible
And wonderful thing that I have ever been given, and also, the worst
It's a mixed bag
Uh, I have been taken to the, absolutely, to the depths of extreme terror by this
I've had my whole soul undermined by it, on the one hand
On the other hand, uh, in one sense, my experience has been about finding joy
Joy...joy...joy....joy....joy...joy....joy....joy...joy...

Never never land

Back And Forth

What's it like to be back

You see things in life and you'd be surprised what you see
Life, your whole life is changes
You go through changes in your life
One second you've got it made
Next second you're down in the dumps
And it goes back and forth throughout your whole life
One second you've got the most beautiful girl in the world
Next second you don't even have a girlfriend no more
And it goes back and forth and back and forth, you know
And this is life, man, it's changes
This is what you gotta go through throughout your whole lifetime
I'm going through changes*
"And it goes back and forth and back and forth, you know?"
Never
Never
Land

"Even now in heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons."*
An eye for an eye**
A tooth for a tooth**
Run run run but you sure can't hide**
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run run run but you sure can't hide "Does our ruin benefit the earth?"***

"Is this darkness in you too? Have you passed through this night?"***
Run run run but you sure can't hide

Run run run but you sure can't hide
"This great evil. Where's it come from?"***
"How'd it steal in to the world?"***
"Who's doing this? Who's killing us?"***
"Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known?"***
Run run run
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run run run but you sure can't hide
"Are you righteous? Kind?"***
"Does your confidence lie in this?"***
"Are you loved by all? Do you imagine your sufferings will be less"***
"because you loved goodness and truth?"***
"What're you to me?"

In A State

My mind is in a state
'Cause all i seem to do is tempt my fate
Well i try every space
But all the while we're crushing at the gate
This time, this time
Reality struck me between the eyes
My mind is in a state
'Cause everything i miss it comes too late
So i try and disappear
But there is only one way out of here
This time, this time
Reality struck me between the eyes
My mind is in a state
But all i need to do is change my pace
And i know there's fear to face
But happiness is firm in its embrace
This time.

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastian & Corqsan & Dmk for these lyrics ***

Safe In Mind

Don't you go to turn around
Under the moon and stars
Can you find where [height/hides] the love
Breathing down your neck
Someone's found a way
I see the moon
The moon sees
All i do
Is twist in the breeze
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
(someone's found a way)
(break into my mind)
Life's a gun that's always pointing
Life's a gun that's pointing in my face
(someone's found a way)

What Are You To Me

"Do you dream?"
So many times i've overflowed
So many faces come and go
I play my cards into the sun
And try to work out what you are
To me
Been here before, a million open doors
Only one will set me free
So i fall against the wall
And try to work out what you are
To me
Beside my eyes the answer lies
Something i can't see
Another day, another way
It's all the same to me
To me.
("What's wrong?")

Panic attack

As i juxtapose
Between lock and load
Gotta cut some slack
Between these back to back panic attacks
(panic attack panic attack)
I love the madness
It's killing me
Our love is behind
And i'm so blind i cannot see
As i juxtapose
In between lock and load
Gotta cut some slack
Between these back to back panic attacks
(panic attack panic attack)
I love the madness
It's killing me
Our love is behind
And i'm so blind i cannot see
I love the madness.

Invasion

Show them only
Flesh you needed
You want it for you too

They want it for you
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Sacrificial
Made for tv
[laughter's coming]
And goodbye kisses
Gave him family
Pray your dream
Pray you're dreaming
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Stares that follow
Friends to call on
Don't be desperate
[show them once]
Sacrificial
Made for tv
Laughter's coming
Goodbye kisses
[pray you stutter]
[pray it's not old]
Goodbye.

Reign

I am the lighten, i am the heal
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
I am the reign
I'm gonna reign this way again
I am the reign

I am the spark
Before the blaze
I am the raindrop out at sea
I cause the ripples that become the crashing waves (crashing waves)
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
I am the reign (i am the reign...)

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all

I am the reign
I'm gonna reign this way again (this reign way again)
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
I am the reign
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the reign

*** Thanx a lot to Corqsan for this one ***

Glow

Out of all contexts and scenery
[issue's] laughter rings inside of me
Aching paths don't cross so easily
Break my back to see things differently
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
The season's passing toll
I find reasons and stop wondering
The different ways in which we feel the same
Give too much to what-if imagery
Now the second time means more to me
So glow
We've held off the cold
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
Turns winter spring and fall.

*** Thanx a lot to Kari & Dmk for these lyrics ***

Inside

"The only thing that burns in hell,
Is the part of you that won't let go of your life.
Your memories, your attachments, they burn them all away.
But they're not punishing you, it's that..
They're freeing your soul. Relax."*

Somethings gone
This can't go on
It's all been wrong
For far too long

Through all these tears
No light appears
And all that trust
Has turned to dust

So one things clear
I wanna hear
I wanna hear

So break on through
For something true
'cos love's confused

And love does see
Sense in all of this
Something's gotta give

You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
Inside of me

You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
Inside of me

You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
Inside of me

You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
Inside of me

In time
You'll find
In time
You'll find

You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
You don't wanna see
Inside of me

*** Thanx a lot to Sebastian & Dmk for these lyrics ***

Awake the unkind

I think you're standing
In the wake of my only
Big mistake
And all i do is think
We look inside me
To find another take
Well it's make
Or break
Got one chance to take
And you look
And you find
And you wake
The unkind
Guess the stake
In my mind
Is driven by your kind
I know you're stranded
For the sake of [you for me]
You take
And all you do is sink
Into the picture
Of another scandalous creature
And all you do is sink
'Cause you look
And you find
And you wake
The unkind
Guess the stake
In my mind
Is driven by your kind
When you look
You will find
That the stake
Is entwined
In your fake
Calloused mind
Nothing but delight.

*** Thanx a lot to Dmk for these lyrics ***

War Stories

Intro

Please forgive me

How thoughtless of you to let me down
When I thought you'd be around
I could have easily found
Someone else

Hold My Hand

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don't know how

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don't know how

Are you living the feeling
The highs are they worth seeking
Nothing like believing
Are your drugs healing

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don`t know how

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don`t know how

Are you really living
Or do you seek loving
Are you happy being
Or do you search for meaning

Are you ever asking
Questions they need answering
You're not really hearing
You really need releasing

A million pieces broken
A million secrets unspoken
A million pieces broken
A million secrets unspoken

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don't know how

Hold my hand
I need you now
Slow me down
I don't know how

Secrets everywhere
Secrets everywhere
Secrets everywhere
Secrets everywhere

Restless

(Feat. Josh Homme)

Well I'm all restless but I don't care
You don't like me much, well me neither
You go me, my, ma, like you're some kind of God
You live like someone trippin' on the same one you lost

I'm in you, you're on me
i'm in you, you're on me

Got this sinking feeling, so if I sing it it's true
There ain't no habit that I will not defend
If it comes back well I will not resend
I'm broken, house broken
Now you on the mend

I'm in you, you're on me

Those who pay, will just pay it again
Never beginning nor a jewel at the end
Rip me from the breakage and solvents
Taking over, I'll just take what you got

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
You're the truth, I do believe
I'm in you, you're on me
Easy

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, gonna follow, gonna follow the light to the love

Well I've gone restless, I don't care
I got fifteen  bucks worth of savoir faire
You wanna step in my way you won't step again
I just break it, I just bend, I resend

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me...

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love...

Keys to the kingdom

(Feat. Gavin Clark)

I shoot it low
Kill the flow
Ruin myself out of the northshore

I make it one
Watch the sun
Sink behind the trees to the keys to the kingdom

I shoot it high
Let it fly
Bury myself under a blue sky

I see a scheme
Make it clean
Drown in blue rivers under a muffle screams

Come the number wishing I could make a man
And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again

I hit down
Kill the sound
Ruin myself out on the northshore

I make it one
Kill the sun
Bury my disease with the keys to the kingdom

Come the number wishing I could make a man
And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again

I shoot it low
Shoot it low
Kill the flow
Kill the flow
Ruin myself out of the northshore

Come the number wishing I could make a man
And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again

Come the number wishing I could make a man
And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again

Price you pay

No one can tell me just why it is
That it always has to come to this

Fix it up
Throw it away
I don't get it
The price you pay

Makes no sense no matter what you say
What sticks inside ain't gonna fade away

Fix it up
Throw it away
I don't care
It's the price you pay

I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away

...
Too high, too low

I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away

Burn my shadow

(Feat. Ian Astbury)

I have burned my tomorrows
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away

I have burned my tomorrows
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away

And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away

Fate’s my destroyer
I was ambushed by the light
And you judged me once for falling
This wounded heart arrives

And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away

When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
Burn my shadow
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
Oh burn my shadow
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
Away

And burn my shadow away
Oh how I loved you

Mayday

(Feat. Duke Spirit)

I ebb and
You flow
It's a bit screwed
But you can't catch my love

I ebb and
You flow
It's a bit screwed
But you can't catch my love

These stars are
Glistening
These stars are
Listening

I hear that
You float
It's a bit screwed
But you can't catch my love

Persons and Machinery

(Feat. Autolux)

We're all getting so tired of you
The things you say
The things you do

Oh please just follow your great plan though
We've all had it
We've had it
We've had it with you

Homesick with some imaginary flu
You wanna get drafted
We wanna get sued

Oh please just follow your great plan though
We've all had it
We've had it
We've had it with you

Trying to feel good

We all lost our hearts
Trying to feel good
We all lost our hearts
Trying to feel good

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa...

We're all getting so tired of you
The things you say
The things you do

Oh please just follow your great plan though
We've all had it
We've had it
We've had it with you

We all lost our hearts

We all lost our hearts
Trying to feel good
We all lost our hearts
We all lost our hearts
Trying to feel good

Morning Rage

Something burns inside me, man
Can't explain, won't understand
Anger, rage and war crime
Fear, fate and lullabies

And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up

Something burns inside me, man
Won't explain, can't understand
Seeking truth for someone's eyes
Crowed lows and lonely highs

And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up

What was that all about
Somethings turned me inside out
So I put myself around
Cause you pull me in then turn me out

What was that all about
Somethings turned me inside out
So I put myself around
Cause you pull me in then turn me out

Something burns inside me, man
Don't explain, won't understand
Darling please don't walk away
Frozen hearts don't like to say

And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up

What was that all about
Somethings turned me inside out
So I put myself around
Cause you pull me in then turn me out

What was that all about
Somethings turned me inside out
So I put myself around
Cause you pull me in then turn me out

Nothing last forever, man
Nothing lasts forever and
Nothing lasts forever, man
Nothing lasts forever and

And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up
And wake up, and wake up

Lawless

In the dead of night
I become someone else
Cut all my ties
Blow my mind of the shelf

We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, up all night
We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, no restraint

Let it rise
Way out of control
You can't disguise
What's inevitable

We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, up all night
We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, no restraint

In the dead of night
I become someone else
Cut all my ties
Blow my mind of the shelf

We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, up all night
We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, no restraint

We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, up all night
We're a lawless brigade
Up all night, no restraint

Broken

(Feat. Gavin Clark)

Dead state I can feel the weight
Light streaming in through an open grate
Two thread score tearing up the floor
Out in the alley with the trigger draw

Numb hands I can see the strand
Hold it together with a severed ban

Three lost years I've been crying here
I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken

Strung out with wings of the dawn
Hole in the black soul in the storm
Torn down through the cracks in the dark
We're miles adrift we're inches apart

I'm hit I can feel the grit
Sat in the asher on the beaten brick
Two thread main running through the vein

Out in the centre with a mirrored cane
Numb feet I can hear you speak
Hold it together with a severed streak

Three lost years I've been crying here
I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken

Strung out with wings of the dawn
Hole in the black soul in the storm
Torn down through the cracks in the dark
We're miles adrift we're inches apart

Stood up on the side og the earth
Thrown back to the track to the dirt
Two thread lose an hour a day
We're miles adrift, we're inches away...

Hold it together with a severed bank
Can't feel the blood

When things explode

(Feat. Ian Astbury)

Your skull froze little lives
In shadows where you hide
A life that was designed
You've been cheated oh so blind

You laid it on the line
These twisted words of time
And how your spirit shines
I wish that you were mine

Yeah lately I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

Imagine no more tears
Dissolving all your feras
With tooth and claw we fight
Into this endless night

Yeah lately I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

I saw my tears in your eyes
You saw your fears in mine
We watched it burn together
Watched it burn together

Burn yeah, burn watched it burn burn yeah burn
Watched it burn, burn watched it burn
Watched it burn, burn watched it burn

All is forgiven

Buying a lie

(Feat. Lee Gorton)

I didn't know what I never like
His looking at me like you have something to hide
If I would have said I would have known
You're trying to run while I'm trying to grow

How does it feel are you dying inside
Trying to cover up, these's no reply

I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I wanna say what every knows
You're buying the lie but you're selling your soul
Why would you say you want us to lose

You're looking at me but you see what you choose
'Cause I don't agree with everyone else
You're changing the rules
But you're cheating yourself

I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you

Sloping away and I'm sure you're inside
I have nothing to lose and nothing to hide
Too many people living alone
Take a look at yourself
And then check what you know

How does it feel are you dying inside
Trying to cover up, these's no reply
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know

I gotta feeling that you're looking to find
May be some kind of meaning
But I have nothing in mind
Why would you side with anyone else
When you're figuring out
What you're thinking yourself

How will you learn when
You don't want to know
How does it feel to
Believing in everything you're told

I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you

Mistress

(Feat. Alice Temple)

My footsteps echo in early night
I see my shadows secret
It won't belong

My heart beats to a rhythm
I'm come closing in on a designation
I walk through the elevator door
As I'm risen I begin to hear
Feel you a lot alone

A cold wind bites all around me
But I'm warm on the inside
I don't need no drug tonight
This nights gonna change me forever
This room says anything goes
All I need is to be alive tonight

I breathe the smells around me
I'm choking but I want more
You're closing in

Oh mistress come to me
Come to me, come, come to me

A cold wind bites all around me
But I'm warm on the inside
I don't need no drug tonight
This nights gonna change me forever
This room says anything goes
Oh what a pity his alive tonight...

Cut Me Loose

(Featuring Gavin Clark)

Slow down
The scream of your age
The decade is blowin' through my skull
Of hurricane days
Visions of love
Waters and clouds that form us now
Visions of love
Waters and clouds, this song is now (?)
Too close to the sun (?)
Too close to the sun
And fly

Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better
Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better

The feeling was strong, a real blaze
Feeling a rush, but naught has changed
Couldn't believe this time I'm done
Started to laugh and sigh in the sun
The gun in the air is all I see
Trailing a rope I still perceive
Color our hair as blacks goes grey
The scream of the race is all I need

The scream of the race is all I need
Scream of the race is all I need

Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better
Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better

The scream of the race is all I need
The scream of the race is all I need
Scream of the race is all I need
Scream of the race is all I need

Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better
Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better

Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better
Cut me loose, cut me loose
And I'll make it better

Ghosts

The dust that blinds me
The thrust inside me
As the Devil rides within
But I stand quietly
My enemy beside me
Waiting for hell to begin
Waiting for hell to begin

The demons, they seduce me
The risk that drives me
As the angles avoid the sin
I stand quietly
My enemy beside me
Waiting for something to win
Waiting for something to win

You can run
But the ghosts are gonna come
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
You can run
But the ghosts are gonna come
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna getcha on the inside, inside...

The dark consumes me
The idle feeds me
As demons fight to get in
But I stand quietly
My enemy beside me
Waiting for hell to begin
Waiting for hell to begin
Waiting for-ever
Waiting for hell to kick in
Waiting for-ever
Waiting for hell to kick in
Waiting for-ever

You can run
But the ghosts are gonna come
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
Inside...
You can run
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
Inside...

You can run
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside

You better run
The ghosts are gonna come
You better hide
They'll get you on the inside
You better run
The ghosts are gonna come
You better hide
They'll get you on the inside

You can run
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside
You can hide
But the ghosts are gonna get you on the inside...

Blade in the Back

(Featuring Gavin Clark)

I don't belong to no one
I don't belong at all
Got my face in the corner
Got my back to the wall

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

I'm a hair trigger lover
And I can't face up to nothing

I'm impatient with the wind
But I'm waitin' here for somethin'

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

Restless sleep, twisted dreams
Moving targets, silent screams
Restless city, restless street
Restless you , restless me

I'm a face at the window
I'm a black satin sheet
And I can't stay warm
I stay out in the street

And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

Synthetic water

In this world it is a nightmare
You gotta give it more

Chemical

(Featuring Josh Homme)

Up against the glass, rattling the tray
Breathless underwater, nevermind the rain

You, a faker
Use me up, and then destroy
You, a faker
Use me up, and then destroy

I'd let nature take control
But it's not possible
I'd embrace you all
But I'm on all these chemicals

You, a faker
Use me up, and then destroy
You, a faker
Use me up, and then destroy

You, a faker
You, a faker
Use me up, and then destroy

Against The Grain

A cut of the wrist
Don't leave me strength
There's an arrow only I can take
Cover the marks
Don't leave me strength
Hold me while I lose my grip

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't cry out, don't expose your name
You gotta keep against the grain

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't look up, you can mark your name
Don't look down, you're against the grain

You're losing yourself behind the face that you created
You're losing your head inside of all that you created
You're losing your feet above the world that you created
You created
You created

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't cry out, don't expose your name
You gotta keep against the grain

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't look up, you can mark your grave
Don't look down, you're against the grain

Hold me when I lose my grip, I really need you
Hold me when I lose my grip, I know I'll need you
You know I'll need you
You know I'll need you

Even Balance

I hope it spreads eternal
But at a certain point, you know
You start to self-destruct

Can't hurt

You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
Never is easy
Never is easy
Just think what you're sayin'

You know that I won't bleed
Just try to cut me
You know that I won't bruise
Just try to beat me
You know that I won't burn
Just try to light me
You know that I won't die
Just try to kill me

No, I won't let go
No, I won't let go
Never is easy
Never is easy
Never is easy
Exist in the shadows

You can't cut me now
You can't cut me now
Never is easy

Exist in the shadows

You know that I won't bleed
Just try to cut me
You know that I won't bruise
Just try to beat me
You know that I won't burn
Just try to light me
You know that I won't die
Just try to kill me

You can't hurt, you can't hurt, you can't hurt me
You assume all about this, about me
In a world that consumes me completely
On a day when I don't trust myself

You know that I won't bleed
Just try to cut me
You know that I won't bruise
Just try to beat me
You know that I won't burn
Just try to light me
You know that I won't die
Just try to kill me

You can't hurt, you can't hurt, you can't hurt me
You assume all about this, about me
In a world that consumes me completely
On a day when I don't trust myself

You can't hurt, you can't hurt, you can't hurt me
You assume all about this, about me
In a world that consumes me completely
On a day when I don't trust myself

Black Mass

And then there's, like
A lot of disrespect for their craft
A lot of misunderstanding of what goes into it
What, what, what is it that makes a performance
What you have to do to protect that performance
You know, it's a very sacred thing

Open Up Your Eyes

(Featuring Abel Ferrara)

Sister
Why are ye crying
When I am still alive
Why search for the living
Among those who've already died

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Brother
Why don't you hear me?
Put your finger into my side
Must there always be blood to flow
Before you believe me and not lies

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Saint Thomas
Can you hear me?
Put your finger into my side
Must you always see blood flowing
Before you believe me and not their lie

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Heaven

Where's the Seraphim
Where's the money that we made
Where's the open gate
Where's the fortune that we saved

Heaven's here for you and me
With every falling curl
Heaven's here for you and me
We gained ourselves the world

Hit the Motorway
I can take it all at speed
I got everything
I got everything you need

Heaven's here for me and you
Scattered out with pearls
Heaven's here for me and you
We gained ourselves the world

Where's the warrior of light
With gates of solid gold
Paranoia through the fight
With dreams that never fold
Heaven's here for me and you

*** Thanx a lot to Dulie for this one ***

Where Did The Night Fall

Follow Me Down

(feat. Sleepy Sun)

You're wondering if it's worth it
You're wondering what to do
You're asking me to see the future
And you want me to tell it to you

See I can't believe it myself
So how can I prove it to you
That this is all a dream

Okay follow me down
Come on you can trust me now
Okay follow me down
You can trust me now

Recurring thoughts of separation
Ones in which we are all alone
What keeps our heart from feeling wholeness
And everywhere we look we see ourselves

I'm not inclined to think in braided spirals
I know I wasn't always this way
What do I do and is it really worth it

Okay follow me down
Come on you can trust me now
Okay follow me down
You can trust me now

*** Thanx a lot to Garry for this official one ***

Natural Selection

(feat. The Black Angels)

One day I'll find the perfect one for me
They will be pretty and funny at least to me
Crooked teeth and everything
I want to meet my perfect lady

I think I saw her at the picture with her only
I think I saw her at the picture with him
I move towards her she thinks of him

And the holidays we spend with our friends
Across the country we find ourselves again
Another galaxy removed from ourselves
I think we met in a station in some city

Maybe I'll find the right one for me

One day I'll find the right one for me
She will be pretty and funny at least to me
Pigeon feet and everything
I want to meet my perfect lady

I think I saw her at the diner with her only
I think I saw her at the drive in with him
I stare at her and she s lovin him

Maybe I'll find the right one for me

*** Thanx a lot to Darek for this official one ***

Joy Factory

(feat. Autolux)

So much you can't get home
Somehow you lost the wind
Come up come up for air
In your mind you have feet ten

You're sure you're sure your soul
Goes up and in and down
The only dream you own
Wears you out

No ordinary joy
You'll always miss your mark
All the way
So in the factory
I knew you messed it up
With me

And now you're missing more
And now you're missing more
And now you're missing home

Uncross your eyes and breath
You'll be missing in your skin
Forget where you come from
Imagination always wins

It's locked in the froze
The day passing blue
Too much for everyone
Just try for you

It's no ordinary joy
You'll always miss your mark
All the way
So in the factory
I knew you messed it up
For me

The Answer

(feat. Big In Japan)

Here we are
Burning up in our cars
And in our hearts

Better days
Sleeping late with a headache
Perfect weather

Congregate,
Lay in wait for an answer
They're still waiting

Grit your teeth
Lucky tastes as the day breaks
The blind are leading the blind

Never better days without headache
Perfect weather (x4)

Funeral lights
Dots go dashing the highway
Nothings moving

Radiates
Everything lasting for seconds…
Evaporating

Lover's lips
Drinking late at the station
Smiling faces

Coming clean
Wiping your face and whatever
There's an answer

Never better days without headache
Perfect weather (x4)

On A Wire

(feat. ELLE J)

I am waiting for the clouds to divide
I am willing my subconscious to pay up
I must admit that I am passing it on
I never though that I would have to give up

I am sharing knowledge that I cannot explain
Feel forced to express my intent
It's not my fault that you're not listening
I'm coming through clear across the long decent

Out on a limb, on a wire, by a thread you collide
On a limb, on a wire, by a thread you collide (x3)
Through your eye with your mind and your soul

Alone I master the miles and time
All solid form and light reflecting shape
Despite the trip this is bending my mind
I need to find a root or escape

Those savage nights find relief in the dawn
All the subtleties are lost on you
There are links missing in this chain
Are you falling for the broken man again?

Out on a limb, on a wire, by a thread you collide
On a limb, on a wire, by a thread you collide (x3)
Through your eye with your mind and your soul

Find the fight within you

Falling Stars

(feat. Gavin Clark)

Too much love
I got too much love
As a vision slides
I got too much love
I got too much love
As a motion dies

You figure there's time
For a man to run
You figure there's time
For the falling stars come down on us

Run run run till you think you're made
Run run run till you're told you're safe
Run run run till you're overcome
Run run run you're the only one

I got too much love
Don't deceive me now
As the color slows
I got too much love
For a glitter doll
For the rainfall

You figure there's time
For a man to run
You figure there's time
For the falling stars come down on us

Run run run till you think you're made
Run run run till you're told you're safe
Run run run till you're overcome
Run run run you're the only one

Run run run till you think you're safe
Run run run till you're told you're made
Run run run till you're overcome
Run run run you're the only one

Don't step down

I got too much love
For the glitter doll
And my emotion slides
In another end
In another life
I was on your side

Heavy Drug

You're my heavy drug

I need your love

Caged Bird

(feat Katrina Ford)

The wind did blow
Across the valley
So we can run
Under illusion
This one dream
I see is true
The caged bird
Sings the blues
For you
This one dream
I see is true
The caged bird
Sings the blues
For you
I know where we can fly
Into, into thin air
Something to believe
Or beware
Into thin air
Something to believe
Or beware
Into thin air
Oh I know where we can fly
Hold on
Oh someway
To break the cage
And route the Rage to love
Love
Oh for so many nights
A prayer to breach
That star you’ll
Reach tonight
Into, into thin air
Something to believe
Or beware
Into thin air
No light despair
Into thin air
Something to believe
Hold on
It’s all a dream
It seems to
Feel the air you breathe
There’s so much needing
We are believing
Hold on

*** Thanx a lot to Darek for this official one ***

Ablivion

This is how it all begins
A ride into oblivion
Faster than we've ever been
Faster than we've ever been

Listen to the city screams
Stranded in another dream
Further than we've ever seen
Further than we've ever seen

Electric shock and we begin
A mile above the mess we're in
Higher than we've ever been
Higher than we've ever been

So far gone I won't ever stop
For all that I am
For all I'm not
So far gone the age
I'm on I see it now oblivion

This is an awakening
This is what the children sing
Higher than we've ever been
Higher than we've ever been

The city lights we left behind
Stranded in another time
Out of sight, out of mind
This is where it all begins
We cross into oblivion
This is where it all begins
We've crossed into oblivion

So far gone I won't never stop
I'll let you go and watch you drop
So far gone I can't hold the grip
Another hit and watch us slip
So far gone I won't ever stop
For all that I am
For all I'm not
So far gone the age I'm on
I see it now oblivion

I see it now oblivion

The Runaway

(feat. ELLE J)

Never mind he whispered in my ear
Could have been anyone's mistake
Let's just press rewind from here
And call it quits for time's sake

Ring me twice then I know you need me
Call me back right away
Somebody told me you've been thieving
Are you loosing sight of the line?

Wanna know wanna know when you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know when you're breaking down

From now on you'll sleep with one eye open
Keep your credit up
And hardly leave the house
I'll find you anywhere you're hiding
I'll see you won't get out

Wanna know wanna know when you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know when you're breaking down

Back on the front line
I'm back on the front

Now you're back on
The front line
I'm back on the front

Ever Rest

(feat. Joel Cadbury)

Small part of me
The light by which I see
I'm not trying to break you down
I'm not trying to break you down
A single tear can be
Every part of me
One drop can wash me down
One drop can clear me out

And then one day
Regrets in every combat

Feign dignity
Come for miles to see
I'm not trying to break you down
I'm not trying to break you down
A single tear can mean
Everything to me
One drop can wash me down
One drop can clear me out

I'm holding to nothing
Repeat my destruction
Inside voices taunt me
Just holding to nothing
Repeat my destruction
Inside voices haunt me

We'll climb from the fire
This land won’t tie me

The Healing

( Featuring Gavin Clark )

Battle scars and neon lights
She holds the flame
She owns the night
And she scars my soul

The road again
Strobe light highs
Paralyzed anesthetized
And she sold my soul

And I'm healing, healing
Healing from the blows
Yeah I'm healing, healing
Healing from the blows
Yeah I'm healing
Healing from the blows

Neon smiles narcotic light
The sulphur room
The hundreds nights
And she stole my heart

Cut of time
Reckless bleed
Sedated smiles
Kick the need
And she steals my soul

And I'm healing, healing
Healing from the blows
Yeah I'm healing, healing
Healing from the blows
Yeah I'm healing
Healing from the blows

Another Night Out

(feat. Mark Lanegan)

Lift the wheels up from the roadway
Close your sparrow's glassy eyes
And walk upon the water
Once more for me
Are those dead diamonds baby
Or are these stars gone to sleep?

So low that you might miss me
Ah yeah
Slowly fades the light
So low that you might miss me
Ah yeah
Slowly fades the light

Wait for the spring

And to this thing
I do surrender
Into the darkest sin
I climb with the vine
On a graveyard train
Pulling away
Drowning to dive
Down full fathom five
To wear the hollow crown
To haunt the hollow trees

And what from heaven's tongue is heard?
Through the veins
Love sustained
Another night out

So low that you might miss me
Slowly fades the light

Another night out
Another night out
Wait for the spring

And to this thing
I give myself
On a graveyard train
Pulling away
Down into heaven
Down into heaven
Down into heaven

To wear the hollow crown
To haunt the hollow trees
To wear the hollow crown
To haunt the hollow trees

The Road: Part I

Iter 1: Have You Looked at Yourself

Have you looked at yourself
And have you thought about the mistakes you've made
And the road you've walked

This is your story

Farewell

(Ft. Dhani Harrison, Elliott Power, Eska, Keaton Henson, Liela Moss, Mink, Steven Young & YSÉE)

And when I see
And if I walk
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

And when I see
And if I won't let go
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

And when I see
And if I walk
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

And when I see
And if I walk
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

And when I see
Hold me in your arms
Don't let go
Don't let go

Looking for the Rain

(Ft. Eska & Mark Lanegan)

Children born to get high
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below

With the thorn in the side
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long

We'll be sufferin' here
In the blood in the fear
If your Judas be met
I would kill you if I can

Solitary nightbird is singin'
Or a thunder crack you're hearing
I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

There's a rift-like shadow appearing
And though my eyes are pale
I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

We'll be sufferin' here
In the blood in the fear
If your Judas be met
I would kill you if I can

Children born to get high
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below

With the thorn in the side
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long

Here's a rift-like shadow appearing
And though my eyes are pale
I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

On this down to the fear
All the dogs in the street
Are seeking shelter before a storm
I'm lookin' for the rain
To fall

Lookin' for the rain
To fall

Cowboys or Indians

(Ft. Elliott Power, Mink & YSÉE)

Alone in my wonder
I gaze at my lover
I hear the thunder
As they walk away
They walk away
They walk away
They walk away
They walk

Nothing now sacred
Go and forsake this
Pray to our parish
Making me relic
Fills you with hatred

Left me sedated
Look what I'm faced with
No one to cherish
I see you menace
I cannot take this

State of neurosis
Effecting my closest
Making no progress
Now I've gone hopeless
Help with the dosage
Self medicate
Fills you with hate
Bargain again or administrate
Righteous prophet to throw me away

Drowned in a wonder
Taking me under
Pray for the thunder
As they walk away
They walk away
They walk away
They walk away
Walk
Away

Met with the Devil and bet it, I lost
Paid with my soul and now fret at the cost
Watching them revel and laugh at my loss
Sick with the sins that I failed to wash
Met with the Devil and bet it, I lost
Paid with my soul and now fret at the cost
Watching them revel and laugh at my loss

Nothing left sacred
You pray and I perish
I see your hatred
This is forsaken
Go and I'll make it
Go and forsake this
A moment you cherish
Making me relic
This only makeshift
They're only known faceless
I am nobody
I'm just a vessel
Not holy or special
I'm just a vessel
You're holding your medal
I see your hatred
I see your hatred
Watching you perish

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

They walk away
Walk away
They walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
They walk away
Walk away
They walk away

They walk away
They walk away
They walk away
They walk away

Iter 2: How Do You Feel

Feel movement, I feel haggard
From a night out
Downtown clubbing

I feel inspired
I feel fucked up
How do you feel
Tell me, how ya feel

Nowhere to Run / Bandits

Hey man
What happened to the fun?
Stuck in the snow
Blinded by the sun

There's nowhere to hide
There's nowhere to run
My love is pure
Second to none

Hey man
What happened to the fun
Stuck in the snow
Blinded by the sun

There's nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run
My love is pure
Second to none

All alone
What have we done
Oh, darling
What have we done

All alone
What have we done
I'm chasing the heavens
I'm chasing the sun

All alone
What have we done
Oh, baby

Run, run, run
Run, run, run

And what have we done
What have we done
What have we done
What have we done

Take my hand and run
Take my hand and run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Baby, run, run, run
Run, run, run

Run, run, run
Run away baby
Run, run, run
Run away baby

Run, run, run
Run away baby
Oh, baby run, run, run
Run away baby
Run, run, run
Run away baby

Run, run, run
Run away baby
Run, run, run
Run away baby
Oh, baby run, run, run
Run away

Iter III: Keep On Runnin'

Can't keep running away
Can't keep running away
Can't keep running away
Can't keep running away

Stole Enough

(feat. Mïnk)

You like to walk among us
In time, talk over us
Who would of thought we left you untouched
Stole enough
Stole enough for now

We, we had a soul
Still goes without a shine
Body, body can't be, can't be made of
Without a shadow left to hold

Who would of thought we left you untouched
Taken too much
Stole enough for now

Stole enough for now, for now
Stole enough for now, for now
Stole enough
Stole enough
Stole enough
For now

Arm’s Length

(Featuring Callum Finn, Mink & Elliott Power)

Kept at an arm's length
Just had your heart wrenched
Gave up your last strength
I get trapped in a past tense
Defeat, deceit, deceit, you see me
Delete, discrete, retreat, I'm unsweet
Repeat defeat then leave it un-neat
Retreat from heat reclaiming your seat now

Don't know what you're in for
You're not sure what's in store
Give less then I take more
How much can you endure?

Talk is cheap I'd rather not speak
And all things lead get off I can't breathe
Reach your peak and climax with ease
Reach your speech it sounds like a screech

Hold me at arm's length
You owe me
Give up your last strength to keep your
Your name, let go
Let go
Let go
Hold me at arm's length
You owe me
Give up your last strength to keep your
Your name, let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Whenever, wherever
Feeling the pressure
Sickness or health
Knowledge or wealth
Words are forever
Despite the endeavor
No nothing's forever
Making it count
Using the mouth til I take off to never

Hold me at arm's length
You owe me
Give up your last strength to keep your
Your name, let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Hold me at arm's length
You owe me
Give up your last strength to keep your
Your name, let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Iter IV: We Are Stardust

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going?
And this he told me

I'm going on down
To Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join a rock and roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
And try and get my soul free

We are stardust, we are gold
And we've got camera sights
So bask in the light

Sonata

(Feat. Keaton Henson)

If I was in the moon with you
I'd let this old thing slip away

I did it, over me
Holding your dead body
You were there
Search light in Heaven
I believe you
You frighten me

Lover, see me
Come along and hold me now
Why? Have no pain and call me
Lover, see me
Come along and hold me now
Why? have no pain and call me, yeah

Come on along, can't you just love me

(Lover, see me, come along and hold me now)

Come on along, can't you just love me
Come on along, can't you just love me

(Why? have no pain and call me)

Come on along, can't you just love me

You can see me, I am coming
Don't leave me, come and hold me
In a dream, I'm only dreaming

Come on here

Iter V: Friend or Foe

(Feat. Elliott Power)

Friend or Foe
Ingle were
Toe to Toe
With brittle bones
No dulcet tones, we go alone
Not far from home in space we roam
We know the codes
We've loved and loathed
For they were bold
With stories told
A moment gone
The moment sold
The uphill climb
We're on the road

Sunrise (Always Comes Around)

(Featuring Liela Moss)

Days keep on changing

Sick Lullaby

(Featuring Keaton Henson)

I feel it bound
Round my throat
Round my throat

I feel the call
In your throat
To love me
Please don't go

I feel it bound
Round my throat
Round my throat

(You, I feel)
(You in my heart)
(You in my)
(You in my)

Won't you stay in my arms
I won't let you leave me
Even if you leave my mind's off
I will hold you like a
Knowing end of season
When I feel you lady
We're all alive
Heart is to optation
I will let you kill me

I'll be clean oblation
Burn the bridges baby
Hopeless in incision
Harness dreaming honey
Make the first incision
I'll be your
Sick lullaby

Burn the bridges baby
Hopeless in incision
Harness dreaming honey
Make the first incision
I'll be your
Sick lullaby

In your throat
To love me
Please don't go

THE ROAD: PART II/LOST HIGHWAY

Iter VI: Prologue

(feat. Elliott Power)

Once you have walked the road
Everything becomes clear

Requiem (When You Talk About Love)

(feat. Mark Lanegan, John Isaacs, Michèle Lamy & Brian Cox)

I know here, take me, shake me
And make me what I

Oh I cannot sleep
The holy spirit will creep
I know here, take me, shake me
To live on eternity

I know here, take me, shake me
And make me what I

The voice undertaken
Lifting the lid upon blind escaping
To live on eternity
Like fallen leaves
Written in lines unseen

When you speak of love you make me feel invisible
When you talk of love you make me feel invisible
When you speak of love you make me feel invisible
When you talk of love you make me feel invisible

I know here, take me, shake me
And make me what I

When you speak of love you make me feel invisible

I know here, take me, shake me
To live on eternity

When you talk of love you make me feel invisible
When you speak of love you make me feel invisible
When you talk of love you make me feel invisible
When you speak of love you make me feel invisible

I know here

When you speak of love you make me feel invisible
When you talk of love you make me feel invisible

I know here, take me, shake me

When you speak of love you make me feel invisible
When you speak of love you make me feel invisible

I know here, take me

When you speak of love you make me feel invisible

Ar.Mour

(feat. Miink & Elliot Power)

I put my armour back on
I put my armour back on
I put my armour back on
I put my armour back on

From bad to worse
Now met by disaster
Distraught at the thought
Won't bow to the master
Ready and braced
Look on my face
Disguised by the armour
Steady I wait
Now it's too late
Bitten by your karma
(Every time)

Watch the face now I'm braced
(I lose the one)
For the war like the taste
(My broken heart)
An appetite for the rage
(Has armour on)
Now I'm stood center stage
(Every time)

Life on the battlefield
(I meet the one)
You hold me against my will
(My broken heart)
Chained and shackled rattled still
(Is on the run)
I won't surrender have me killed
(Is on the run)

Don't hold out your hands for nothing
Mind rots when times are low
Kill all those who close in
For the throne
(Is on the run)
(Is on the run)
(Is on the run)
(Is on the run)
Don't hold out your hands for nothing
For the throne

Iter VII: Lost

(Sample : DJ Shadow Lost and found)

Get high...

Get above yourself
Yourself, you-you-yourself
Is yourself
Inside of yourself
Then you see your own head
Until-til-til-til you're inside o' yourself
To the back or front of yourself
when you find yourself
You're gonna find that yourself is only yourself
And the self that can only be yourself

The Other Side

(feat. Tom Smith)

This patient don't function
But I'll never let you down again
I lay with the embers
Won't you crystallise the complement
These pathways run for us
We condensed the loneliness
My love just ain't funny
I will never let you down again

Come with me to the other side
And be the man I will be the bride
It's the night make your mama cry
Give hope, give love, give up, but are we givin' in

Come with me to the other side
And be the man I will be the bride
It's the night make your mama cry
Give hope, give love, give up, but are we givin' in

Don't look at me that way
I will never let you down again
Don't slip through my fingers
I will crystallise the complement
I'm just a vibration
A little sound blown on the wind
Can't you hear me calling out
I'm a ghost from the other side

The second September
Familiar pattern I know so well
I play with the embers
Now my dominoes are fallin' to hell
What wicked truths are left
To uncover, to discover tonight
Well this joke just ain't funny
But I will never let you down again

Come with me to the other side
And be the man I will be the bride
It's the night make your mama cry
Give hope, give love, give up, but are we givin' in

Come with me to the other side
And be the man I will be the bride
It's the night make your mama cry
Give hope, give love, give up, but are we givin' in

Don't look at me that way
I will never let you down again
All slip through my fingers
I will crystallise the complement
I'm just a vibration
A little sound blown on the wind
Can't you hear me calling out
I'm a ghost from the other side

I'm just a vibration
A little sound blown on the wind
Can't you hear me calling out
I'm a ghost from the other side

Feel More / With Less

(feat. Liela Moss, Miink & Philip Sheppard)

How do you know
This feeling when I'm awake
How do you know that
Yeah how do you know
Confidence on the floor
How do you know that

I feel more with less
I feel more with less

Show me how you wanna live
Show how you pain relieve
How deep you sleep
Show me how you hide yourself
Show me. Stand up for me
Stand up for me

I feel more with less
I feel more with less

I feel more with less
I feel more with less

How do I know
The way I'm gonna go
Well, I follow the lights
In front of your eyes
Innocence and lies
How is it so

Yeah how do I know
The way I'm gonna go
I follow the lights
In front of your eyes
Innocence and lies
How is it so

I feel more with less
I feel more with less
I feel more with less

Nothing To Give

(feat. Miink, Elliott Power & Jon Theodore)

Leave, bound in laws
Feel we roll in our tongues

Give it away, couldn't you give it anyway
Nothing to give, nothing to give now easily

Love that you give
Love that you give
Love's an exchange

I mourn thee
You haunt me
In nightmares, slight scares taunt me
You caught me right there in my hair
Paws seep, clawed deep
Ice glares, cold stares, frost keeps
We weep, prim and proper
Real show stopper
Grimace on face, now you're a goner
Timid like frame, showin' dishonor
Name is my name, livin' out horror
Heartbeat what we need, restart with jump leads
Hold me if need be
Cold feet, what we see
You'll see the old me
War scars, course marks
Warn hard, off guard
False starts, they all laugh
Cruel past fast blast
Deep breaths at these depths
Can't sleep, tears wept
Your knees last legs
Those pleas reject
Breaths at these depths
Can't sleep, tears wept
Your knees last legs
Those pleas reject
Cut off here, ice glaze
Cold stares, frost keeps
Weary, prim and proper
Real show stopper, grimace on face
Now you're a goner, timid like frame
Showing dishonor
Name is my name, livin' out horror
Heartbeat what we need, restart with jump leads
Hold me if need be
Cold feet, what we see
You'll see the old me
War scars

Love is an exchange, oh
Come over now
Don't make a sound
Head in the clouds
Far from the ground
Are you still a king
If I take your crown?
A life full of sin
No, nothing profound
(Nothing to give)
Word of the wise
Beginning to thrive
Took your sweet time
Now, are you alive?
(Love that you give)
Us that you hate
Us you despise
Land of the brave
Who's gonna survive?
Now step in the shadow
(Give it away, couldn't you give it anyway?)
Run from the shadow
(Nothing to give, nothing to give now easily)
Do you adhere?
Are you still a king
If I take your crown?
A life full of sin
No, nothing profound

 Iter VIII (However Vast the Darkness)

(Stanley Kubrick Quote)

However vast the darkness
However vast the darkness
We must supply our own light

Long Gone

(feat. Tessa Angus, Ysée & Philip Sheppard)

When all the lies don't turn out right
And without meaning you start a fight
You don't believe you ever wanted

Hard to hear but start again
All you need is time and then
You don't believe it though you want to

And you don't need to show your right
You can always change your mind
And other things that we were told too

So raise back up again
Forgive your long gone friends
And keep on moving
Keep on moving
Oh raise back up again
Though your heart is caving in
And keep on moving
Keep on moving

Keep on moving
Keep on moving

All good people go in time
All the cowboys fall in line
All the leading men are gone too

Who will come to save our day?
Who'll remember what to say
When all the fairy tails were wrong too?

Just raise back up again
Forgive your long gone friends
And keep on moving
Keep on moving
Yeah raise back up again
Forgive your long gone friends
Just keep on moving
Keep on moving
Yeah raise back up again
Though your heart is caving in
Keep on moving
Just keep on moving

Keep on moving

Only You

(feat. Miink & Wil Malone)

My body is numb I feel no touch
Feed the fear and feel no clutch
Feel the fear of what's to come
If you don't fear no need to run
You're neither the master nor the slave
Willing it faster laws are laid

Only you can say my name
Only you my saving grace

Til I die I waste away
Remember my soul forget my face

Only you can say my name
Only you can say my name

When I'm swallowed by this waves
When my form begins to fade

Only you can say my name
Only you can say my name
Only you
Only you
Only you can say my name

It's all gone
I'm so gone

You're the better me
Trying to better
You're the death of me
You weren't there for me

Only you can say my name

Call it out

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

(feat. Keaton Henson & Philip Sheppard)

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and empty skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time
And last till the end of time

Iter IX: Epilogue / Tales Of The City

Elliot Power:

Some days the city bleeds me dry
With telling tales of the night
In this little town of mine
Sometimes you'll find a lack of time
With none to spare, I live in fear
Envy those without a care
Head's now gone and nothing's clear
In this rat race of despair

Crucifixion / A Prophet

(feat. Tom Smith, Ian Astbury, Chris Goss, ESKA, Miink, Boc, Troy Van Leeuwen & Justin Stanley)

I'm the prophet
I'm your soul
I'm the new rock n roll
I'm the fever
I'm the priest
I'm the new drug released
I'm the day
I'm the night
I'm the endless blinding light
I'm the soft
I'm the fight
Together we will own the night
I'm the dirty
I'm the dark
I'm forever your beating heart
I'm the prophet
I'm the soul
I am the new rock n roll

I am you
You are me
We are pure ecstasy
I'm your heaven
I'm your hell
I'm the secret you never tell
I am her
I am he
I'm the crashing waves of the sea

[?] take us down
[?] let us fly
Let us fly, let us fly
Let us fly

I'm your faith
I'm your religion

I am you
I am me
We are pure ecstasy
I'm the prophet
I'm your soul
I am true rock n roll

Powder Man

(feat. Chris Goss)

Powder man
Powder man
How do they ever
Let you in
Come back to climb
Start again
Get outside
While you can

On the run
Down we met
You don't get
Nothing yet
Falling back
Against the sand
Waiting for
Powder man
Powder man

Powder man
Powder man
How do they ever
Let you in
Come back to climb
Start again
Get outside
While you can

On the run
Down we met
You don't get
Nothing yet
Falling back
Against the sand
Waiting for
Powder man

Sun (The)

(feat. Leila Moss)

Because of you I'm changing up
Because of you it's looking up

Oh the silence, oh the distance
Oh the sun, the sun is here
Oh the silence, oh the distance
Oh the sun, the sun is here

Find An Outsider

(feat. The Big Pink)

Can this love take you higher?
Got your past, it makes you lighter
Make your move, catch the tide
Listenin' these wings decide
Are we headin' to the light?
Should I stop and try and hide?
Take a seat on your ride
Don't make me feel like an outsider
Like an outsider

Run in lines and come in blind
It's not enough to make you mine
Hear us come with your fire
Tie the knot and make it tighter
When love in place will rest in pieces
Get in line, it's just too easy
Pullin' wool can make a scene
Before too long I know I'll find her
I know I'll find her

Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'
Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'
Keep you from fallin'
Fallin'

Let's choose to live when it's time to die
There's a time and a place to make a crime
Sheddin' blood will bleed to eat
Give me a reason and I'll breathe
Seal the deal before it's time to leave
Playin' dead so we can't be seen
Far and wide I'll set the scene
Before too long I know I'll find her
I know I'll find her

Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'
Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'

To sit alone and take a hit
It's speech and lies and cigarettes
In Tahoe
Sit at night, appetite
In and out to win a fight
And find her
I found her

Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'
Oh, I wanted nothing more
Just to tell you that I'm yours
And keep you from fallin'
Yeah, keep you from fallin'
Fallin'

Iter X: Found

Christiane Kubrick :

You-you can't evaluate it
Or-or-or even describe what you're like
Who knows, you know, but I, I don't
I have, I - if I had to describe myself
I wouldn't be able to, would you?

Days And Nights

(feat. Dhani Harrison, Philip Sheppard & Andrew Innes)

Love you oddly but you shut me down
Days and nights keep dragging out
When time's only daylight save
Repaid in kind for deals I made
Shade comes down across her face
I do my best to just erase it
The patience failing

Demonstration of the power you wield
Demonstration of the power you wield

Leave your mark across the sky
(Leave your mark across the sky)
Feel your frost all through the night
No witness anymore
(No witness anymore)
Am I the tree that has to fall
(Am I the tree that has to fall)
Crying life is ugly[?]
Reflecting all the choices made
(Reflecting all the choices made)
I guess your patience fade
(I guess your patience fade)
I guess your patience fade

This is a demonstration of the power you wield
This is a demonstration of the power you wield
This is a demonstration of the power you wield
This is a demonstration of the power you wield

Iter XI: In Your Arms

And when I see
And if I walk
And when I run away
Hold me in your arms

Don't let go
Hold me in your arms
And if I run away
Hold me in your arms

Touch Me

(Rui Da Silva cover / Feat. Liela Moss)

You'll always be my baby
I'll always think of you

Touch me in the morning
And last thing at night
Keep my body warm baby
You know it feels right
Take a little higher
I'm faking it too
Just tell me what you're feeling
I'll feel it with you

We can only understand what we are shown
How was I supposed to know our love would grow

Move a little closer
Make sure you're looking up
Heal me with your loving
I need you so much
I need you so much

We can only understand what we are shown
How was I supposed to know our love would grow
We can only understand what we are shown
How was I supposed to know our love would grow

Touch me in the morning
And last thing at night
Keep my body warm baby
You know it feels right
Take a little higher
I'm faking it too
Just tell me what you're feeling
I'll feel it with you

You touch my mind in special places
My heart races with you
You touch my mind in special places
My heart races with you
My heart races with you

Be there

( Featuring Ian Brown )

You don't wanna go there
Let me lead you by the hand
You don't wanna be there
Over sea and down to land
As I look into your eyes, I'll pay no mind
I found the way to get inside you
I'll give you peace of mind

I might see you falling
I might see you falling
I might see you falling beautiful
This time
I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling beautiful

Corrupt, a plea for free will
An irresponsible horror show
It has been suggested
That this contradictory

Can't Stop

(More Stories LP)

Give me space, and rigged my flash
The breaks have failed and comes in a crash
Now I can't find no way to hide

Keep the calm, so up tide
I wanna take it out tonight
For century to where I fly

You won't
You won't

Keep your head it's gonna blood
And lights are all for all one son
And I can't keep myself in nine

Lightin' up, per so I raid
Resistance says that few some stayed
The clock is ticking all the time

You won't
You won't

I can't stop living my head
Can't stop living in my head
No, I can't stop living in my head
Can't stop living
Stop living
Stop living
Can't stop living

Went around we go again
I thought we're lost, we mean the end
The clock is ticking all the time
Don't enfight but you can't find

I can't stop living my head
Can't stop living in my head
No, I can't stop living in my head
Can't stop living
Stop living
Stop living
Can't stop living

You won't

Country Tune

(The Answer EP)

Gavin Clark:

When I had the river,
A dream of the ocean was enough, was enough.

When I had the city,
A dream of the country was enough, was enough.

Each day, each day in a cloud
The Rising Sun
The Rising Sun, I lie awake the morning

The dream of love, oh the dreams are often better

The dream of love, oh the dream of love, and I'd forgotten

All day, all day in a cloud
All day, all day in a cloud
All day, all day in a cloud

All day in a cloud
All day in a cloud

In a cloud
In a cloud

Exodus (Rōnin / Revisited)

(Rōnin II LP)

This land is mine
God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun
Reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land
Where children run free
So take my hand
And walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
This land
God gave this land
God gave this land
God gave this land
And walk this land with me
Though I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
Hold me in your arms
Don't let go

Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)

(Lupe Fiasco Feat. Unkle)

Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivion
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivion
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness

All in together, the weather is better than ever
I hope it never ends, I hope it lasts forever
But when it does, we can all pretend
That it's better than it's ever been
Lie to ourselves like the sky to a bell
And it's well and it's fine and it's fine if you fail
And you can refine the storyline if you survive to retell
We are targets
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivion
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness
Said everything's gonna be fine
Said everything's gonna be okay
Said just don't breathe the air
He just sits and waits for them to kick in the door
He once was a hero, they don't love him no more
There's a flash every time a toe hits the floor
His gift for not fighting another man's war
And if they can get their hands on the mask that he wore
On his face, they can put somebody else in his place
And restore the state, the illusion that it's safe
The faith that being a slave is so great
As gas fills the room and rockets destroy everything around him
He stands to find himself surrounded by thousands of soldiers
That he once trained and never missed their target
Heartless

Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivion
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness

Pleased to make your acquaintance
Salutations
Konnichiwa
Hello, end of the world
How are you
I'm doing fine
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere

Hello oblivion
Hello goodbye

Money And Run

Nick Cave:

Here come the skillfull blows
Here come the puppet men with their fists
You know those backroom ghouls
They make it impossible to resist

I took the money
I took the money and I ran
Ran around the world
Run, little rabbit, run

I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna see
Every time I come down here
somebody is bent on killing me

I don't wanna go there
with all them hungry mouths to feed
Every time I come down here
Somebody is bent on killing me

There goes the Jigsaw man
Stuffing you in the pockets of his pants
We thought we'd make it safe and clear
But we never really stood a chance

We took it the money
We took it over everything we held true
Ran around the world
Yeah, little rabbit, run

I don't wanna be here
Running through the rain
I could do it over man
There ain't a thing that I would not change

All my friends are gone
Left me freezing on a beach
And every time I crawl up here
Somebody tries to take a piece of me

We spent the money
We spent it sailing down the drain
Every time I raise my head
They kill me once
And they kill me all over again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I don't wanna go there
Oh I don't wanna see
Every time I come down here
Somebody is bent on killing me

Take the money and run
Round and round the world we go
Take the money and run
Round and round the world we go
Run, little rabbit, run
Round and round the world we go
Take the money and run
Round and round the world we go
Run, little rabbit, run
Round and round the world we go
Round and round the world we go
Round and round the world we go
Run, little rabbit, run
Round and round the world we go
Oh yeah
Round and round the world we go
Oh yeah
Round and round the world we go
Yeah run, little rabbit, run
Round and round the world we go
Run away
Round and round the world
Round and round the world
Take the money
Take the money and run

On My Knees

(UNKLE feat. Michael Kiwanuka / Music Inspired By The Film ROMA)

Whoa, on my knees
Whoa, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
That love would be where I stayed
Whoa, I can see
All that I believe
I know that I play the game
But I'll never be ashamed

I'm not trying to pass the blame
I'm just trying to protect my name
But you know I would die for you
What you dreamin', it can't be true
I can see how you tarnish me
How you gave me the third degree
I don't need to apologize
I could lie to you every night
When you stole from me everything
You just gave me a song to sing
You can leave me inside to die
What you mean is I never cry
There are things we can never see
I need God, would you pray for me
We've been lost in the memory
All the darkness was meant to be

Whoa, on my knees
Whoa, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
Love would be where I stayed
Whoa, I can see
All that I believe
I know that I play the game
But I'll never be ashamed

Whoa, on my knees
Oh, and I can't be
I can hear angels sing
I'm tired of the place I'm in
Whoa, holy ground
Give me the sweetest sound
I know where I'd rather be
The silence is heavenly

If I paint you a masterpiece
Would my pain and my hurt decrease
If I'm able to make you cry
Would you love me and want me more
I just want you to understand
That I'm only a broken man
And my heart it can only show
All the things we can never know
There's no need to apologize
We'll get back to the other side
I been walkin' on solid ground
Wait 'til you see what I have found
I've prayed for the stars above
I'm no longer the man you loved
I've become who I meant to be
When I needed you next to me

Whoa, on my knees
Whoa, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
Whoa, I believe, I believe, whoa, whoa

I believe, oh
I believe, yeah
Oh, I believe
That I'ma walk away
Oh, I believe
I'm walkin' now
Oh, I believe
Oh, oh, I believe
Oh, now, oh, I can see, yeah
Oh, I believe

Whoa, on my knees
Whoa, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
That love would be where I stayed
Whoa, I can see
All that I believe
I can hear angels sing
Tired of the place I'm in

Safe in mind (please get this gun from out my face)

Don't you go to turn around
Under the moon & stars
Can you find where hides the love?
Breathing down your neck

Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way

I see the moon, the moon sees
All i do is twist in the breeze

Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind

(someone's found a way...)
....to break into my mind....

Aaaahhh...
Aaaahhhh...

Live's a gun that's always pointing
Live's a gun that's pointing in my face

(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)

Aaaahhh...
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)
Aaaahhhh...
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)
(someone's found a way...)

Aaaahhh...
Someone's found a way...
Someone's found a way...
Aaaahhh...
Someone's found a way...
Someone's found a way...
(to break into my mind...)
(to break into my mind...)

I like...
The street, the smells
The sense of the underworld
Sometimes you come face to face with yourself

Sunday Song

(Another Night Out EP)

Rachel Fannan:

You can be so imaginary
Nobody knows or seems to see
I've reason enough to keep from you
The consequences that I can't undo

You can be so imaginary
Holding my breath
Silence of the night
Fire in my chest
Flames in your eye

I've reason enough to keep from you
The consequences that I can't undo
I've reason enough to keep from you
The consequences that I can't undo

Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again

You can be so imaginary (you can be so imaginary)
Sending the secrets I can see (the secrets I can see)
I tried to deny and lay to rest
A certain troubled hunger I possess
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again

Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again
Sank in my chair
Waited for my love again

The Dog Is Black

Liela Moss:

Hold me down
I need to be tied to the ground
When I get this feeling
I feel it just behind my back
I call it a dog
I call it a dog
The dog is black

The whole town needs us here to get down
When I feel it crawling
I feel it just behind my back
Close me off my right and noble track
Close me off my right and noble track

Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you, yes
Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you, oh

Show me
How small steps set me free
When I know you're coming
I stand up so I can fight back
I call it a dog
I call it a dog
The dog is black

Steer me through
I know you're stuck here too
When I feel you coming
I stand up so I can attack

Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you, yes
Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you, yeah

Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you, yes
Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back
They don't haunt you
Will I ever get back
Will I ever get back

The Way Back Home (Rōnin / Revisited)

(Rōnin II LP)

Going home, the way back home
Going home, the way back home
Going home

Going home, the way back home
Going back home
Going home, the way back home
Going home, the way back home

With You In My Head

( feat. The Black Angels / The Twilight Saga - Eclipse OST )

You keepin on a holdin',
A-holdin' on a-keepin,
No giving into taking more but still still feedin',
You're clearly disturbed,
All you want is allegiance
Hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them with believin'
Oh holy holy water washing over the soul

Collecting all the people you love to sing you a song
Even if they stick to humming
Holding on a song to see them
When you're really sick-a sick-a sick of love
Leaving with their heart
To shape them within
Even if they stay to running
Hold 'em on the soul, believing
Till you wanna stick-a stick-a stick to love

When you went down, the men came callin'
Changing to stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Speaking in tongues we've all been summoned.
Ride, you wait to hug the shoal, you hate the thought, you're so-so.
You seem so dark to cry
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all of our love for you

With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head

When you went down, the men came callin'
Faded in stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Singing in tongues, it makes things summoned.

Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all of our love for you

I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all of our love for you
