Letras : Lyrics : Sleeping with ghosts B sides

Sick of drugs and dancing feet
Sick of bars where people meet
Smell of crotch and sheets not clean
Hairy men in magazines
Every city looks the same
Running from the threat of rain
Pillow talk that’s just for one
Saturday get nothing done

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Human seethes of apathy
Nuclear catastrophe
Jumbos crash into the ground
Governments sleep safe and sound
Mornings glisten cold and bright
Organs stolen every night
Can of beans and fast boquet
Double jackpot give away

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

She’s crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool
I’m crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool

Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool

She’s crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool
I’m crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool

Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool

She crazy about her daddy
Ooo she believes in you
She loves her daddy

She’s crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool
I’m crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool

Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool
Daddy daddy cool

Ooooooh – stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
and there’s nothing in it
and you’ll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin’

I was swimmin’ in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me east is west
Tryin’ to talk to me coy koi

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin’

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
and there’s nothing in it
and you’ll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin’

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
telling me he’d be home
sailed the seas for a hundred years
leaving me all alone
and I’ve been dead for twenty years
I’ve been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

I remember the day the young man came
said, your Jackie’s gone, got lost in the rain
and I ran to the beach
and laid me down

you’re all wrong, I said
and they stared at the sand
that man knows the sea like the back of his hand
he’ll be back some time
laughing at you

and I’ve been waiting all this time
for my man to come, take his hand in mine
and lead me away
to swanset shores

I’ve been washing the sand with my salty tears
searching the shore these long years
and I’ll walk the sea forever more
’til I find my Jackie-oh

It doesn’t hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels
Do you want to know, know that it doesn’t hurt me
Do you want to hear ’bout the deal I’m making
You, you and me

Chorus 1 :
And if I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

You don’t want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I’m tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter (don’t we)
You, you and me
You and me won’t be unhappy

Repeat Chorus 1

You, you and me
You and me won’t be unhappy
C’mon baby c’mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C’mon angel c’mon c’mon darling
Let’s exchange the experience

Chorus 2 :
And if I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
With no problems

C’est le malaise du moment
L’épidémie qui s’étend
La fête est finie on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visages gris
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudis qu’on appelle maison

Protège-moi protège-moi
Protège-moi protège-moi
Protège-moi de mes désirs

Sommes-nous les jouets du destin?
Souviens-toi des moments divins
Glanant éclatés au matin
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
Perdus les rêves de s’aimer
Le temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls

Pour l’amitié,
L’amitié entre hommes et femmes
Impensable
Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent
Le désir animal
This is the story of
Melody Nelson
Apart from me no one
Ever took her in his arms
Under her thumb
Eyes in the sun

Oh my Melody mine
Oh my Melody mine

She has nothing but love
Poor
Melody Nelson
Her life was more said than done
But her days were numbered
Count fourteen falls
Fifteen on calls

A baby tiger was
Melody Nelson
Forever purring in the sun
Just as dangerous as a child
With a gun, shooting me down

Oh my Melody mine
Melody Nelson
Still playing hurting games for fun
As adorable as dumb
Deaf to the sound
To what’s going down
Down
Down
