Les paroles


1. ALL YOU EVER WANTED

Ain't it just like dying
Except you can still feel the same
All hands on deck now
The sea is getting rough again

You see him out your window
Even when you close the blinds
And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you nice and kind

Take a step before running
Take a breath now before you dive
When you work the streets, darling
Make sure your sneaker laces, they get tied

I'll be your black bird, darling
Hanging on your telephone wire
Flap my wings on it
And set your heart afire


2. I GOT MINE


I was a moving man in my younger days
But I've grown out of my rambling ways
I left that road so far behind
Now I know, oh baby

I got mine
I got mine
I got mine
Oh baby, I got mine

So baby when I rolled, I rolled deep
So much so, I didn't get much sleep
Rock and roll hustle all the time
Now I know, oh baby

I got mine
I got mine
I got mine
Oh baby, I got mine

Whoa, I got mine
I got mine
I got mine
Oh baby, I got mine


3. STRANGE TIMES

Kings and sons of God
Travel on their way from here
Calming restless mobs
Easing all of their, all of their fear

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Statue in the square
Meant so much when it first stood
People come from far and near
To bless them if, bless them if it would

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Sadie, dry your tears
I will be the one
To pull you through the mere
Before you come, before you come undone

Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here


4. PSYCHOTIC GIRL

I heard you threw your man around
Pick him up just to let him down
It's a shame, baby, but I always knew
Just the way you're gonna do

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

Friday night in the party lights
You were acting like everything was alright
Till later on with no one around
Had me fighting for air, laying on the ground

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

I thought you'd changed, but I should've known
You'd play nice for a time and then you do me wrong
I thought long and hard 'bout what I should I say
And when I was through it just came out this way

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world


5. LIES

You said the moon was ours
Yeah, you said the moon was ours
To hell with the day
The sunlight is only gonna take love away
Raise up suspicions and alibis
But I can see through tear-blinded eyes

Lies, lies, lies
Oh, lies

I got a stone where my heart should be
I got a stone where my heart should be
And nothing I do will make you love me
I'll leave this town break all my ties
There'd be no more use for any disguise

Lies, lies, lies, lies

I wanna die without pain, yeah
I wanna die, oh, without pain
All this deception I just can't maintain
The sun, moon, stars in the sky
It'd hurt me too bad if you said goodbye

Lies, lies, lies, lies


6. REMEMBER WHEN (SIDE A)

It happened when I heard her name
Same old thoughts crept back again
Oh and grew, they grew

And somewhere in my sorry state
Lightning struck that old iron gate
It's true, yes it's true

With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh, it stings, it stings


7. REMEMBER WHEN (SIDE B)

All right
Happened when I heard her name
The same old thoughts crept back again
Oh, they grew, yeah, they grew

Somewhere in my sorry state
The lightning struck that old iron gate
Oh, it's true yeah, it's true

With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh, it stings, oh, it stings

Remember how I held you near
And whispered in your precious ear
Sweet things yeah, sweet things
Hey

It happened when I heard her name
Same old thoughts crept back again
Oh, they grewyeah, they grew


8. SAME OLD THING

It don't matter where you've been
The people try to do you in
Every day till dawn
There's some thieving going on

Oh, oh no
Hurt me so

Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing

You got a callous heart
From being torn apart
Now you labor every day
Love life drifts away

Oh, oh no
It hurts me so

Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Just the same old thing


9. SO HE WON’T BREAK

Gone like the wind
And the state it put him in
To hold his head high
When he really wan' die

And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break

He's crazy from the pain
And can't get hurt again
And if he ever falls
I'd feel sorry for us all

And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
Won't break, he won't break

Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
For remedies and pills
To ease their ills

And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that it takes
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
Won't break
He won't break


10. OCEANS & STREAMS

With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide

Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?

These days I'm so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darling, just for you

Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?

Exccuse me, now, I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay now, I'm better off dead

Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?


11. THINGS AIN’T LIKE THEY USED TO BE

I went around the way for you
Did all those things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
Till she just opened up to say

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

I walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kind of overgrown
And all those happy times are gone

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
