Lyrics

The Love Thieves
Depeche Mode

Oh the tears that you weep
for the poor tortured souls
who fall at your feet
with their love begging bowls
all the clerks and the tailors
the sharks and the sailors
all good at the trades
but they'll always be failures

Alms for the poor
for the wretched disciples
and the love that they swore
with their hearts on the bible
beseeching the honour
to sit at your table
and feast on your holiness
as long as they're able

Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers

You're holding court
with your lips and your smile
your body's a halo
their minds are on trial
sure as adam is eve
sure as jonah turned whaler
they're crooked love thieves
and you are their jailor

Love needs its martyrs
needs its sacrifices
they live for your beauty
and pay for their vices
love will be the death of
my lonely soul brothers
but their spirit shall live on in
the hearts of all lovers.

Burn
Sister Machine Gun

I look at you and then I see your fire
And I think about desire
Yes I think about desire
Tell me things that you try to hide
Now I'm burnin' up inside
Oh, now I'm burnin' up inside
When I think about the first time
That I saw your face
I've never felt this way
No I never felt this way
Now I'm thinkin' that you feel the same
And I feel this anyway
And I get down on my knees and pray

CHORUS:
You're like a burning flame
And I'll never be the same
No, I'll never be the same
You're like a burning flame
And I'll never be the same
No, I'll never be the same

What kind of fool am I?
To want your body next to mine
I want your body next to mine
I'll need you anytime
And I'm breakin' down inside
Oh no, I'm breakin' down inside
You come to me with all your little fantasies
I've never had before
No I never had before
And now I'm livin' in my own reality
'cause all the things you did to me
All the things you did to me

CHORUS x 3

Do What You Have To Do
Sarah McLachlan

What ravages of spirit
Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love

And fate has lead you through it
You do what you have to do
(2 times)

And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go

Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul
However swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire

The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
(2 times)

And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go

The glowing ember
Burning hot
And burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing
For only you

I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
(2 times)

And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go

Flood Mix
Chinese Burn

She burns friends like a piece of wood
And she's jealous of me because she never could
Hold herself up without a spine
And she'll look me up when she's doing fine

Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture
She's just someone's favourite daughter
Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters
Friends and enemies they're all the same
They'll burn her name
And crush her fame

She'll break a promise as a matter of course
Because she thinks it's fun to have no remorse
She gets what she wants and then walks away
And she doesn't give a fuck what you might say

Because it cuts her up like Irish mortar
Mother's pride is what we taught her
Soiled and petty as we happily taunt her
Friend or enemy we're all to blame

{She'll burn us bad
She'll flaunt her flame
She'll make us remember, remember her name}

If she sits still like she knows she could
She could win this game and be the queen for good
Save herself up for the cream of the crop
Then she'll look us up when she's ready to stop

Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture
She's just someone's favourite daughter
Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters
Friends and enemies are all that came
To burn her name
Crush her flame
We're all to blame

Skin Against Skin (featuring Deborah Anderson)
DJ Krush

The sun moves high above
Watching below all that moves so fast
Plus taking on a different game
A future that was built to last
I see your face light up my screen
You say hello but I can't
Hold you
Does this all feel somewhat for real with what no limits to us,
We can do

(chorus)
We're making such big steps
It's got me in a spin
Are we aiming too high
Of wanting to feel your skin against my skin, my skin, my skin

Neon lights are everywhere
Lighting up the crowded streets
It brightens up my floating bed
Where I lay myself to sleep
Did you receive the kiss I sent today
Up on the box in Time Square?
How I love the once and yesterday before it vanished into thin air

(chorus)

You're never really here
This is all a big mistake
My heart is feeling cold
I don't want to bake it

Tangent
Beth Orton

Lost myself in a tangent of words,
Can't decide what I've seen or heard,
Can not sleep for counting sheep,
How long does this river run deep,
How long does this river run deep.

Building a map in order to find,
What's not lost but left behind,
My instinct got bruised,
But I still see,
I was a victim I'll be no casualty.

Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
It was just like coming home,
Coming home.

He said that you weave deadly tricks,
Come right back to the worldly hicks,
Stare it cold in dull surprise,
Spread evil to hell in every tear you cried,
Every tear you cried.

Building a map in order to find,
What's not lost but left behind,
I was a victim I'll be no casualty.

Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Could be just like coming home,
Coming home.

Cut off my toes to spite my feet,
Drank your poison
Didn't taste too sweet,
Saw that heaven's in my mind,
It's there for me to find,
It's there for me to find.

Les Bourgeois (The Middle Class)
French, then English version next

Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bière
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait boire nos vingt ans
Jojo se prenait pour Voltaire
Et Pierre pour Casanova
Et moi moi qui étais le plus fier
Moi moi je me prenais pour moi
Et quand vers minuit passaient les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"
On leur montrait notre cul et nos bonnes manières
En leur chantant

Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient bête
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient

Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bière
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait brûler nos vingt ans
Voltaire dansait comme un vicaire
Et Casanova n'osait pas
Et moi moi qui restais le plus fier
Moi j'étais presque aussi saoul que moi
Et quand vers minuit passaint les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"
On leur montrait notre cul et nos bonnes manières
En leur chantant

Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient bête
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient

Le coeur au repos
Les yeux bien sur terre
Au bar de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"
Avec Maître Jojo
Et avec Maître Pierre
Entre notaires on passe le temps
Jojo parle de Voltaire
Et Pierre de Casanova
Et moi moi moi qui suis resté le plus fier
Moi moi je parle encore de moi
Et c'est en sortant vers minuit Monsieur l' Comissaire
Que tous les soirs de chez la Montalant
De jeunes "peigne-culs" nous montrent leur derrière
En nous chantant

Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient bête
Disent-ils Monsieur le comissaire
Les bourgeois
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient...

THE MIDDLE CLASS

Your heart feels so right
Your eyes swim in the beer
Where the barroom lights are hung
And with your friend Jojo
And with your friend Pierre
You drink a toast to being young
Jojo thinks he's Voltaire
And Pierre, Casanova
And me who proudly did not care
Me, I was a lover
And at midnight we watched the
Lawyers pass
Coming out of hotels which had real class

We showed them our good manners
And we showed them our ass
And, oh, how we sang

The middle class are just like pigs
The older they get, the dumber they get
The middle class are just like pigs
The fatter they get, the less they regret

Your heart feels so right
Your eyes swim in the beer
Where the barroom lights are hung
And with your friend Jojo
And with your friend Pierre
Holding on to being young
Voltaire danced like a vicar
Casanova, he was too stout
And me who proudly did not care
Me, I drank till I passed out
And at midnight
We watched the salesmen pass
Coming out of hotels which had real class

We showed them our good manners
And we showed them our ass
And, oh, how we sang

The middle class are just like pigs
The older they get, the dumber they get
The middle class are just like pigs
The fatter they get, the less they regret

But your heart slows down
Your eyes do not flash
The hotel bartender sings our praise

Jojo's no clown
Pierre pays in cash
Among the bookkeepers we pass our days
Jojo now speaks of Voltaire
Casanova's just a book on the shelf
And, me, I proudly do not care
Me, I talk only of myself
And everybody knows
That we've got real class
There is not a night that we can pass
Those lousy kids
Who always show us their ass
And, oh, how they sing

The middle class are just like pigs
The older they get, the dumber they get
The middle class are just like pigs
The fatter they get, the less they regret

Fire and Roses
Mimi Goese

Hold tight if I had only known it could rain inside
Keel over take a stand trying to keep my head on my shoulders
Over flow under tow trying to keep my head above water
Believe me I'm a fighter 'til the end look into my eye
It's all on fire my life needs fire I want roses
Strewn at my feet
Moving in moving out the current pulls me
Stay buoyant
I tumble doing deep-sea cartwheels
Outside it's dark I catch my breath and scream scream
It's all on fire my life needs fire I want roses
Strewn at my feet
It's all on fire my life needs fire I want roses
Strewn at my feet
Soundlessly I fade away
I sail I float far away
A thousand clues and second thoughts
Lie deep in the belly of my heart
If I listen so close
It's all on fire my life needs fire I want roses
Meanwhile I float on the sea sea yeah sea
Moving in moving out
Outside it's dark again
Still I realize what a fine line you walk along
Tightroping between sink or swim or fall or stand
I sit here I stare and still I see it's raining
Hard to say hard to see
Hard to know hard to tell
It's raining

Life In Mono
Mono

The stranger sang a theme
From someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Absurd

king kong, in cannes, on a date with spiderman,
dan dare's sitting there, scared by the killerteddy bears,
down town, mini mouse is slippin micky's in the famous grouse,
while big bird spreads the word,
anybody with a heart votes love.

judge dredd, found dead, face down in snoopy's bed,
outside, tweetie pie's, getting itchy on more supplies,
meanwhile, snow white getting ready for work tonight,
turning tricks with crystal tips,
trying to make the best of its absurd.

puppy dogs and pussy cats in suspect suicide attacks,
captain kirk from planet earth, fights it out with papa smurf,
some phony little ponies, preying on the old and lonely,
making friends, robbing them, the x men taught them everything.
betty boop, tired of life, took vows, became a bride of christ,
while tin tin's been playing him at caesar's palace live on ice,
babar kumbayahs with the mighty morphin' movie stars,
as big bird spreads the word,
anybody with a heart votes Love.

Fear and Love
Morcheeba

We always have a choice
Or at least I think we do
We can always use our voice
I thought this to be true
We can live in fear
Or extend our selves to love
We can fall below
Or lift our selves above

Fear can stop your loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear

I always try so hard
To share my self around
But now I'm closing up again
Drilling through the ground

Fear can stop your loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear

I'd love to give my self away
But I find it hard to trust
I've got no map to find my way
Amongst these clouds of dust

Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop your loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop your loving
But it's not always that clear X4

So many times I try to make you understand
You never tried to see behind my smile

If I didn't know you like I do
I'd get you into the secret in me
Just because I'm good at fooling you
When no one's around I walk in your shoes

I'm smiling, while lying to you
I'm smiling, while lying to you
If you only knew

I always try to hide behind a painted smile
So many tears the public never see

If I didn't know you like I do
I'll get you into the secret in me
Just because I'm good at fooling you
When no one's around I walk in your shoes

I'm smiling, while lying to you
I'm smiling, while lying to you
When it always seems true(X4)

Superheroes
Esthero

Stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
There is a white burst
Waiting for you here...
Between the superheroes - and the electric blanket is warm

I could be sweet
I could be young and fresh
If I weren't so old and used
and wet and wet, I am wet

I try not to ruin the moment
Tell me all your secrets and your torments
You're delicious, you're delicious...
Send me on a quest for lullabies - and more

What would it take for you to see
What I have got?
I've got more than you know
Open your eyes, I can not be - what I am not

I'm not what I used to be, I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
I don't know myself - from anybody else
I'm not what I used to be, I'm not what
I'm not what I used to be, and I
You don't know what you have done
My frame is here but the mind is gone - gone away

So stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
Don't got the wine, right?
I've been waiting for you here

I'm not who I used to be
Bigger and better and faster and wetter
And bigger and better and faster and better

Gentle Rain

We both are lost
and alone in the world
Walk with me
in the gentle rain
Don't be afraid, I've a hand
for your hand and I
will be your love for a while

I feel your tears as they fall
on my cheek
They are warm like gentle rain
Come little one you have me in the
world and our love will be sweet
very sweet

Our love will
Be sweet very sad
Very sweet like gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain

'Cause I ain't stayin' around anymore, no way

Go ahead and make my day

You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it's over now it melted down
Just the other day

Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fears

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sink ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you
