Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

There was a time when I would go walking backwards, round the world
If you said "you're mine!"
And I' s drun blindfold down the Kings Road, Monday morning
If you just for once arrive on time
But you turned into an other liar,
And you came unlike a new Messiah
So before you say what you desire,
I'm telling you now

chorus :
I quit! I quit! 'Cause loving you's a job I don't need
Ain't gonna go to work no more
I quit! I quit! Your situation's vacant for me
Ain't gonna go to work no more (x 2)
Ain't gonna go to work

I got my hands dirty, while you rolled cigarettes
With one eye on the time
I tried my hardest, I' ve been conscientious
But I'm taking back that heart of mine
You can't roll me round your tongue no more, baby
It's time to clear up your emotional debris
And if I'm falling overboard, please don't save me
'Cause I'm telling you now

chorus

La da di di da di da di... (x 2)
Baby! La da di di da di...
It's too late to say you're sorry !

You're just like every other lover
A shot rings out and you go running for cover
And I'm so sorry I can't be your mother
And I'm telling you now

chorus (x 2)

Where we live when you have no one to turn to
To hold you when you're down
This is a sad old town
Worried soul, do you have no place to go now
No place to settle down
This is a sad old town, but it's a town

Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been way down?
Have you ever been deep deep down?
Have you ever been way down?

Missing man, have you fallen by the wayside
You've no more past to drown
This is a sad old town
Where we live there are winners being losers
It all gets spun around
This is a sad old world, but it's my world

Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been way down?
Have you ever been deep deep down...

Here comes Napoleon
There goes my dignity
You're just no good for me
But baby I know
The victory is mine

Here comes Napoleon
All dressed up to the nines, yeah
Mouth working overtime
Trying to explain
Stop wasting my time

And I try to fight it, try to deny it
But somehow your itchy finger pulls on my trigger
Like some creature in some B-feature
You're creeping in the hero's bed
But you'll never crawl inside my head

Here comes Napoleon...

Can't tie me down, won't shut me up
You will not win
The purpose of this song's to say
My life begins

I wanna fly (I wanna fly)
reach out be healed (reach out be healed)
Don't wanna die (Don't wanna die)
Like bugs on the windshield
Like bugs on the windshield

I'm driving down a dirt track road
I know nowhere
And up above the heavens spin
I wish me there (I wish me there)

Don't talk to me I'm seeing red
You're the last thing in my head

I wanna fly, reach out be healed
Don't wanna die
Like bugs on the windshield
Like bugs on the windshield...

My old love's got a lot to learn
He's got to learn how to love completely
My old love's got a love to learn on now
My old love's got a photograph
Of him and me on a rollercoaster
My old love used to make me laugh out loud

And you can change your hair
If it makes you happy
Even change your style
Change your mind, but I know you never will
And I miss him still

My old love had a lot to lose
He lost his heart to a passing stranger
My old love like a loser lost his way

And you can change your hair (etc..)

I'm lying in my room again
Thinking it was good, so good to know you
And I'd do it all again

And you can change your hair
If it makes you happy
Even change your style
Change your mind, but I know you never will
And I miss him still

My old love said I miss him still
My old love

So high, she hits the target every time
She gets away, everyday
Cold hands she reaches for the cigarettes
To warm the day, she can't say
She needs more sympathy
She needs more of everything
Another kiss, another pill
She believes in a bigger thrill
She might just kill again
Move on to the next life

She finds too much interference on her radio
It's nine below
So blind she walks away into the distance
And fades away, away, away
High fiving emptiness
She's gone too far to confess
Another day, another lie
Searching for that perfect high
She might just kill again
Move on to the next life

She might just kill again
Move on, move on, she moves on
To the next life

Bye bye, bye bye
Cold hands reach for the cigarettes

God was cruel to make you
Torture me with dreams that can't come true
But that's ok, the devil's fair
He set you free, left me without a prayer
Don't turn around, don't turn around

'Cause out of sight
Is out of mind
I've been out of my mind since you left me behind
I close my eys
What do I find?
If only out of sight were out
If only out of sight were out of mind

You're always there

I can drink until I'm dumb
I can talk and talk until my tongue gets numb
I can dance 'till my feet are raw
But you're always there just like you were before
Don't turn around now
Don't turn around

She's a vision to herself
She's the brightest star
She know's where she's coming from
She's her own messiah

Here she comes
With a hippy hat and Jesus sandals
Here she comes, here she comes

See the girl with the world in her eyes

Told me I was lost
And I believed her for a day
I supplied the weakness
That each tin pot saviour craves
Here she comes with a silver suit and lazer tongue
Here she comes

See the girl with the world in her eyes
(She's a scam, she's a sham, she's a charlatan
Telling you what to do while she's selling you)

Here she comes, here she comes
And she'll bleed for you if you want her to
And she'll bleed for you if you want her to

See the girl with the world in her eyes...

I'm waiting for God, that's what she said
Can't stay long, there's a gun to my head
I'm waiting for news of a long lost friend
Been through the wars, now I'm back again

Now it seems to me
That there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
And it seems to me
There is nothing I can do, nothing I can do
Except to say "I love you"

I'm waiting for God, that's what she wrote
So impatient, she left a note
I'm hanging around for a change to come
I'm making the best of a bad run

And it seems to me there is nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
Except to say "I love you"
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah...

I fell in love from the get go start
I built a dream in my own backyard
I didn't know then
But I know everything

I took a cure when I knew the cause
I put faith in someone that I shouldn't of
It must have been you
Made me mesmorised
The sun and moon just vapourised
Well you left me baby, brutalised
Now comes gone and gotcha back again

And I can't cry, I can't cry
Baby, baby
Naked as the day we were telling lies
Well I feel so sorry that I can't cry

Got caught by your own sweet trick
I'd laugh but the joke's so sick
What comes around hits you like a stone
Got your message and you've got some nerve
Hope you get what ever it is you deserve
And that's nothing
Crushed beneath the wheels of life
Faith and love and lust collide
Well that's a funny way to be sanctified
Saying prayers with your new best friends

And I can't cry, I can't cry
Baby, baby naked as the day
we were born tellin' lies
And I can't cry

Mary says things will work out right
But Mary don't have a clue
Living her life in a TV set
Married to some young fool
Johnny he works at the corner store
He used to play guitar
Grew his hair, then shaved it off
He's a 7 Eleven star

I got the news
But memories fade by the afternoon
I got the news
So I'm confiding in you
Yeah, I got the news

Sister Ella sits in her room
Dreamed of pots of gold
Missed out on reality
Doesn't realise she's getting old
Mary says things'll work out right
But she got left behind
In the dark and distant corners
The corners of her mind

She's tomorrow's girl
no one can smile the way she can
Who knows what she knows
And only she can understand
This is a scene from an unfinished dream
In a place that she keeps in her heart

She's tomorrow's girl
She knows how the world will turn
When she looks at me
I see the fire in her eyes burn
She walks in the sand to a future unplanned
To a place that she keep in her heart

Tomorrow's girl
Tomorrow's girl
She'll change your world

Knows no other way, for her today is yesterday
She knows what comes around
Goes around anyway
She kisses the sun and the colours all run
To a place that she keeps in her heart

Tomorrow's girl
She'll change your world

She's tomorrow's girl
no one can smile the way she can
I know what she knows, she lets it show
I understand
The face that I've seen in an unfinished dream
In a place that I keep in my heart
Tomorrow's girl, I'm tomorrow's girl
