Όταν μιλούν οι στίχοι

Everything about you is how I'd want to be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me
All the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above

Give me
All the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me
All the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

 

Pack your bag, run away
Along a freeway, out of town
Where you'd like and the night is over
It's alright

From despair, between the sheets
Spilling over, spinning round
Waiting still, in the street
Ain't it bitter, ain't it sweet, oh ho

Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
No rushing, don't rush it, my love
Holding on, holding, holding on to you

Bet you lie, on your back
In the backseat of his car
Cattle black, pepper night
Dylan Thomas, pass around
Passing out on the floor
In the bathroom, black light vail
We don't need once again
Sing the song, sing
Drink the wine, love

Oh, well how long did we stay in there
Well I can't believe my eyes
Well how long did I take this
Well I can't hold on no, hold on

Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
I'm ready, I'm ready, my love
Holding, holding on to you

 

Για το χαμόγελό σου τραγουδώ
γιατί μου δείχνει πως το κλάμα έχεις γνωρίσει
και για το βάδισμά σου το γλυκό
που μόνο όποιος σκόνταψε μπορεί να εκτιμήσει

αυτό το χάδι που `ναι τόσο τρυφερό
είναι από χέρια που σκληρά έχουν παλέψει
κι αυτά τα χείλη που με αγάπη με φιλούν
δεν τ’ άκουσα ποτέ πικρή να πούνε λέξη

Για το χαμόγελό σου τραγουδώ
που όσο κι αν πόνεσες δεν το εγκαταλείπεις
που με κουράγιο με γεμίζει αν το δω
και χάνονται με μιας τα σύννεφα της λύπης

Είμαι στ’ αλήθεια τυχερός που σ’ έχω εδώ
όταν τα πράγματα ζορίζουνε τριγύρω
και ξέρω αν τύχει και ποτέ εξαντληθώ
θα `σαι στο πλάι μου επάνω σου να γείρω

 

As I sat sadly by her side
At the window, through the glass
She stroked a kitten in her lap
And we watched the world as it fell past

Softly she spoke these words to me
With brand new eyes, open wide
We pressed our faces to the glass
As I sat sadly by her side

She said, father, mother, sister, brother
Uncle, aunt and nephew, niece
Soldier, sailor, physician, laborer
Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest

Earth and moon and sun and stars
And planets and comets with tails blazin'
All are there forever fallin'
Fallin' lovely and amazin'

Then she smiled and turned to me
And waited for me to reply
Her hair was fallin' down her shoulders
As I sat sadly by her side

As I sat sadly by her side
The kitten she did gently pass
Over to me and again we pressed
Our different faces to the glass

That may be very well, I said
But watch the one fallin' in the street
See him gesture to his neighbors
And see him trampled beneath their feet

All outward motion connects to nothin'
For each is concerned with their immediate need
Witness the man reachin' up from the gutter
See the other one stumblin' on who can not see

With tremblin' hand I turned toward her
And pushed the hair out of her eyes
The kitten jumped back to her lap
As I sat sadly by her side

Then she drew the curtains down
And said, oh, when will you ever learn?
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern

God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
And God does not care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others

Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgment of the world He created
While sorrows pile up around you
Ugly, useless and over inflated

At which she turned her head away
Great tears leapin' from her eyes
I could not wipe the smile from my face
As I sat sadly by her side

As I sat sadly by her side
As I sat sadly by her side
As I sat sadly by her side

 

I am curious, but I dislike
Dislike involving myself
I don't want anyone to try
To try to understand me
'Cause then I'll be tempted (Tempted)
To try again and again
And it doesn't work out
It doesn't work out
If I can't keep myself to myself
And it doesn't work out
It doesn't work out
I can't keep myself to myself
I'm giving up the false attitude of love

I used to try to change
To tone down my responses
Dissasemble the mechanism
But love kept leakin' out
So I started sleepin'
It helped to dull my senses
And I don't go outside much
It used to be I could take a long walk
On a windy night
On a windy night to go see someone
But, someone is now
Someone is now
Somebody else..

 

Βαλ' το όταν βρέχει να τ' ακούς
Φτιάχνει τα χρώματα
Βαλ' το όταν βρέχει να τ' ακούς
Φέρνει κι αρώματα
Βαλ' το όταν βρέχει να τ' ακούς
Γυρίζει θύμησες
Βαλ' το όταν βρέχει να τ' ακούς

 

"Shakespeare"

Oh why, oh why do they teach us Shakespeare
When you're only 16, with no idea, what it all means
Oh Romeo, oh Romeo he thinks it's a love thing
All masks and kisses from the balcony
It's deeper than that bro, it's a fuckin' tragedy

Oh you, taught me so much about you
Taught me so much about love
And yet I learn nothing
And yet I learn nothing
And yet I learn nothing

And yet I learn nothing

All night, all night I sat through the movie
And the plot was so thin, and they kissed at the end, and I squeezed your hand
Oh Romeo, oh Romeo spent hours in the bathroom,
checking every hair and working on his master plan
Working on his moves, and keeping his cool man

Oh you, taught me so much about you
Taught me so much about love
And yet I learn nothing
And yet I learn nothing
And yet I learn nothing

And yet I Learn Nothing
And yet I Learn Nothing

Turn the pages
Turn the pages
Turn the pages
Oh Romeo, oh Romeo he gets so excited
To get to the end
Well turn the pages my friend.....
And learn nothing
And learn nothing
And learn nothing
And learn nothing
And learn nothing

 

State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands, hands, yeah

And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself

Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be accountin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah

And the barrel shakes aimed a directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Myself, myself

Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah

And I listen, yeah, for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes
Aimed right at my head, don't won't you help me
Help me from myself

State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a

State of love and yeah yeah!

 

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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 heros 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 we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

 

Αν είσαι πλάϊ μου μπορώ το φόβο να νικήσω,
το κόσμο ν'αγαπήσω και ίσως να αγαπηθώ,
αν είσαι πλάϊ μου μπορώ να μ'αντιμετωπίσω,
τη μοίρα μου να ορίσω να μεταμορφωθώ ..
Μόνος μου πως να πορευτώ και που να επιστρέψω,
χωρίς εσένα είμαι μισός και ίσως να μην αντέξω ..
Αν είσαι πλάϊ μου μπορώ τη μάχη να κερδίσω,
να μην εγκαταλείψω να μη παγιδευτώ,
αν είσαι πλάϊ μου μπορώ τον ήλιο να αντικρύσω,
να μην ξαναγυρίσω σε τόπο σκοτεινό ..
Μόνος μου πως να πορευτώ και που να επιστρέψω,
χωρίς εσένα είμαι μισός και ίσως να μην αντέξω ..
Μόνος μου πως να πορευτώ και που να επιστρέψω,
χωρίς εσένα είμαι μισός και ίσως να μην αντέξω ..

Στραβά ξυπνάω ένα πρωί πνιγμένος στη ρουτίνα
βουτάω την κιθάρα μου και φεύγω απ' την Αθήνα.
Κι η τύχη μου με φύσηξε στης Κρήτης το λημέρι
που 'χει κορίτσια όμορφα και πάντα καλοκαίρι.

Ηράκλειο Καλαμάτα και βύσσινο γλυκό
να με ρωτάς σταμάτα τι ψάχνω για να βρω
τι ψάχνω για να βρω...

Με μια λαχτάρα στην καρδιά για κείνο που δεν είδα
που άλλοι παράδεισο το λεν κι άλλοι το λεν πατρίδα.
Βρήκα δυο μάτια ν' αγαπώ παρέα για να πίνω
φίλους για να τσακώνομαι κι ό,τι έχω να τους δίνω.

Ηράκλειο Καλαμάτα και βύσσινο γλυκό
να με ρωτάς σταμάτα τι ψάχνω για να βρω
τι ψάχνω για να βρω...

Μα όπως λεν κι οι πιο παλιοί και δίκιο να 'χουν μοιάζει.
πέτρα που θέλει να κυλά ποτέ δε χορταριάζει
Και το ξερό κεφάλι μου μυαλό ποτέ δε βάζει
όσο τα πόδια μου βαστούν στο δρόμο θα με βγάζει.

Ηράκλειο Καλαμάτα και βύσσινο γλυκό
να με ρωτάς σταμάτα τι ψάχνω για να βρω
τι ψάχνω για να βρω...
