 Waking Up With The House On Fire » Les lletres de cançons [+ Afegir +] |
1. _ Mannequin
He's the mannequin of your dreams
You designed him
Nothing will stand in your way
A punch in the heart
Won't tear him apart
Neither will the things they say
Cause he's a beggar lover believer
You are just an innocent reader
He's the mannequin of your dreams
Step inside him
Look at the world his way
Laughter is loud
From the fool in the crowd
You'll crack his smile one day
Every dream must follow where we go
Don't let them shatter your ego
Mannequin, lover mannequin, lover mannequin (x2)
I gave you evey bit of my time
You lied and you committed a crime
To present my feelings
With shallow meanings
How could you tear me apart?
He's the mannequin of your dreams
You denied him
Laughter and political sway
People are sweet
But the primitive beat
Is always getting in my way
I can give you nothing but me though
It isn't what you want to see oh
Mannequin

2. _ Crime Time
Death cab for cutie
Sung it like a beauty
Stepped out forgetting
Danger has a duty
Lonely night
He wants to squeeze her tight
They murder for a dollar
No one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar
Chorus:
Love stops knocking, your heart starts rocking
It's crime time
Out on the main land
Hit him with a right hand
Stepped on his ego
Now he fells like a man
Do it right
It's a lonely fight
Playing fats waller
Lipstick on your collar
Back in 1950
People had their honour
(chorus)
They murder for a dollar
No one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

3. _ The Dive
When i wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing
That can stop my eyes
From crying
When you put the pressure
Down on me
Cause i don't quite fit
You imagery
I'm trying
Baby i'm no superman
Chorus:
Eyes like a deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on
When you konw that love
Is on my mind
It's a perfect chance
To be unkind
You do it
Being sly you take a chance
On crime
But the master has a new design
On loving, living
Out and in the enemy
(chorus)
Eyes that open wide
Do you do
Love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?
When i wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing
That can stop my eyes
From crying
When you put the pressure
Down on me
Cause i don't quite fit
Your imagery
I'm trying
I'm no superman
(chorus)

4. _ Dangerous Man
He could word it out like a dangerous man
How could you value his intentions
Martin had the devil just like anyone can
He spoke words they were frightened to mention
Chorus:
Yesterday ain't gone
We just pushed it aside
Out in the jungle
There ain't nowhere you can hide
There's a different smile on your face today
Though you wear it well
There's a lot to say
There's a different mood in the world tonight
We can do it right
John he washed it over with a confidence tan
I konw that peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet with his master plan
Build them up it's so sad they forget you
(chorus)
Are we not men
Did you save us?
Are we not men
Did you try, did you try?
We have been, we have been, we have been
We have been denied
I could word it out like a dangerous man
If they landed here we'd collect them
Yellow, black or white here in the circus of men
I don't know i don't care i forget you

5. _ Mistake No. 3
You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go
Chorus:
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three
It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad
But it prepares them for the mould
(chorus)
Why is my love like an ocean run dry?
Why is my love
Such a struggle with life?
You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall into pieces
So we watch them grow
(chorus)
Make mistake number three

6. _ The Medal Song
You used to say
Love and be loved
All the time
Till you discovered
Fellings were a failure sign
When it rains
It rains so hard
The tears begin to show
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
Chorus:
Life will never be the same
As it was again
Life will never be the same
As it was again
Through my anger and my joy
My tears and pain
Beneath the sea of hollywood
Where francis used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes
For a part in someone's game
Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
(chorus)
We are just everyday people
Not a theatre company
Everyone wants to join us
There's no fear in us you see
It's me for you
And you for me
Sun go east, sun go west
Will i wear a medal again
Sun go east, son go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
Now i say love for love
Not for a space in time
The strangest things
Can shatter kings
And take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
(chorus)
Sun go east, sun go west
Will i wear a medal again
Sun go east, son go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

7. _ Hello Goodbye
Chorus:
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
The rhythm of the jungle
A temperamental beast
Makes the mountain tremble
Brings giants to their knees
If i ask you to stay
You might leave anyway
But the situations fallen from my hands
(chorus)
I feel exasperation
Get down on your knees
I called the operator
But this is where i freeze
I said hello
I said hello
I said hello
I've got to go
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
No
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
No
I've got to go
(chorus)

8. _ The War Song
Chorus 1:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Chorus 2:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And i heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
What's mine is my own
I won't give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a philistine
We're burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)

9. _ Don't Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When i think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then i stopped believing
But only for a while
When i think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When i think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Don't give it up, don't try
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Dont give it up, don't try
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When i think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes
(chorus)

10. _ Unfortunate Thing
Breaking out of school
Ain't really fooling no one
I was sure i'd get my reward in time
Backing uo the street
With the smell of sweet sensation
Didn't want to be another dime
Hidden in the pocket
Of some unfortunate nation
Didn't have no money, sure didn't have the time
Chorus:
Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
But i fought with nothing
But i fought with nothing
Laughing at the rumor
That you've been screwing someone
Laugh better cry
It could be your turn next time
Brother what a lover beyond the fourth dimesion
He's got an ego
That's bigger than yours and mine
(chorus)
Don't call me bwana
Let it settle in your heart
We move from children
Into a business counterpart
Your head was shaking as i walked into the room
A spirit breaking
That's why i feel this way
Breaking out of school
Ain't really fooling no one
I was sure i'd get my reward in time
Backing up a street
With a smell of sweet sensation
Didn't want to be another dime
(chorus)
