Halo
The Cure


 
'a kiss.' -- robert smith in cure news #14, september 1993;
 
 
i never felt like this with anyone before
you only have to smile and i'm dizzy
you make the world go round
a thousand times an hour
just touch my head
and send me spinning
 
i never felt like this with anyone before
you show me colours and i'm crying
you hold my eyes in yours
and open up the world
i can't believe all of this
 
i want to keep this feeling
deep inside of me
i want you always in my heart
you are everything
 
i never felt like this with anyone before
you fill my head full of rainbows
and all the rainbows end
is every step you take
just to be with you forever
 
i want to keep this feeling
deep inside of me
i want you always in my heart
you are everything
 
 
Painters
Jewel


Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by.
They remind her of her lover,
How he left her, and of times long ago,
When she used color carelessly, painted his portrait
A thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
Her and her canvas would follow him wherever they would go.

(Chorus 1)
'Cause they were painters, and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Oil-streaked daisies covered the living room walls.
He put water-colored roses in her hair.
He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you the mountains,
The sunshine, the sunset too.
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me."

(Chorus 2)
'Cause I'm a painter, and I want to paint you
A lovely world.

So, they sat down and made a drawing of their love,
They made it an art to live by.
They painted every passion, every home,
Created every beautiful child.
In winter they were weavers of warmth,
In summer they were carpenters of love.
They thought blueprints were too sad
So they made them yellow.

(Chorus)

(Bridge 1)
Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil,
And in her heart she knew something was wrong.
She went running through the orchard, screaming,
"No God, don't take him from me,"
But by the time she got there,
She feared he already had gone.
She got to where he lay,
Water-colored roses in his hands for her.
She threw them down, screaming,
"Damn you, man, don't leave me with nothing left behind
But these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me!"

(Bridge 2)
He said, "Love I only leave a little, try to understand.
I put my soul in this life we've created with these four hands.
Love, I leave, but only a little,
This world holds me still.
My body may die now, but these paintings are real."
La de di, la de di, la de di, de di.

So, many seasons came and many seasons went,
And many times she saw he love's face watering the flowers,
Talking to the trees and singing to his children.
When the wind blew, she knew he was listening
And, oh, how he seemed to laugh along, and
How he seemed to hold her when she was crying.

(Chorus 4)
'Cause they were painters, and they had painted themselves
A lovely world.

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by.
They remind her of her lover,
How he left her, and of times long ago,
When she used color carelessly, painted his portrait
A thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
Her and her canvas would follow him wherever they would go.
Yes, her and her canvas still follow.

Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely...

'Cause the are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely world.
 
 
Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd


So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
 
 
Tangled up in Blue
Bob Dylan


Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.
 
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.
 
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.
 
She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.
 
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
 
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.
 
So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.
 
 
Moonchild
Chris Cornell


Open your arms to the lonely shine
Lonesome as gold in a poor man's smile
See how the moon is full, follow the push and pull
Follow the ebb and flow in the breathing tide
Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Cat on the road, down in the living night
See how the black dog grins in the diamond light
We're dreaming and we're real,
we're broken and we're healed
Give in to what you feel over what you see
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower, you're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour
And when if is only yes and no,
and now becomes too soon
I know you'll be alright if you only
come away to the moon
In the blue shine
Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower you're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour
 
 
Follow My Way
Chris Cornell


Little one don't be a fool, I'm a wreck when I look mighty
In euphoria I'm bruised, in confusion next I'm lightning
In complacence I am small, through oblivion I charge
 
So follow my way
When I'm not leading anyone
Open and frayed
When you can see that I'm unsure
Out on my way
I'm only pure when I get lost
And you're only needing,
when you're finding that I'm not
 
You're just looking for a boy,
bathed in infrared and sunlight
I'm all polish and reward,
when I'm confident I'm hopeless
Just like everybody else, right before they fall apart
 
So follow my way
When I am falling from your heart
When I'm the pain
Fever and sweet relief in one
Out on my way
Though I'm not worthy of your trust,
follow me down into a swan dive
All eyes closed tightly
 
Lowly, slowly now I know I like where you go when
you're gone
Warm your hands inside my veins, I might be contagious
Through oblivion I charge
 
Follow my way
When I'm useless to your cause
When I derail
Calm in the patience of remorse
Out on my way
Out on my empty open nerves
When all you know
Is that I don't know where we are
When all you know
Is that I don't know
Follow my way
