Les paroles


1. LINGER

If you - If you could return
Don't let it burn - Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore - I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you? - But

[Chorus]
I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to - Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh - I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong - I was wrong
If you - If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused and
I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you - But

[Chorus]

And

[Chorus] (x2)


2. I STILL DO

I'm not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh - I still do

Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within

Can I go my own way?
Can I pray my own way?
I don't want to leave you
Oh - I need you
Am I ready for this?
Did I think I would be?
Can I see the future?
No - I can't see

I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh - I still do

Ah - I still do
Ah - I still do


3. WALTZING BACK

Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into
Your life - Your life - Your life?
Now I feel fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

(x2)
What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?

La - La - La

Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
Light - Light - Light?
Then I felt fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say
'Cause it's your life - Your life - Your life

La - La - La

Who gave them the right - The right - The right? (x4)


4. ZOMBIE

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see - It's not me - It's not my family
In your head - In your head - They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are crying

[Chorus]
In your head - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie
What's in your head? - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head - In your head - They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are dying

[Chorus]


5. DAFFODIL LAMENT

Holding on - That's what I do since I met you
And it won't be long - Would you notice if I left you?
And it's fine for some 'cause you're not the one
You're not the one there
There (x5)

All night long - Laid on my pillow
These things are wrong
I can't sleep here

So lovely (x3)

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning won't change what I'm feeling
And the daffodils look lovely today
And the daffodils look lovely today
Look lovely today

In your eyes I can see the disguise
In your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning?
Has anyone looked lovely?
And the daffodils look lovely today
And the daffodils look lovely today
Look lovely today

Look lovely (x9)

Na - Na - Na - Na ...


6. TWENTY ONE

I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
You took my thoughts from me
Now I want nothing more

And did you think you
Could just take it all away?
I don't think it's happening
This is what I say

Leave me alone (x3)
'Cause I found it all
Twenty one (x3)

So I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore

Twenty one (x6)

Today (x4)

Twenty one ...


7. WAR CHILD

Who will save the war child baby?
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid
Fine by me
At times of war - We're all the losers
There's no victory
We shoot to kill and kill your lover
Fine by me

[Chorus]
War child - Victim of political pride
Plant the seed - Territorial greed
Mind the war child
We should mind the war child

I spent last winter in New York
And came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless
He said - "I fought in Vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark
He bore the mark with pride
A two inch deep incision carved
Into his side

[Chorus]

Who's the loser now? - Who's the loser now?
We're all the losers now - We're all the losers now
War child - War child


8. ELECTRIC BLUE

Electric blue eyes - Where did you come from ?
Electric blue eyes - Who sent you ?
Electric blue eyes - Always be near me
Electric blue eyes - I need you

Na - Na - No - Na - Na - No

[Chorus]
Domine - Domine Deus
Domine - Adiuva Me
Domine - Domine Deus
Domine - Adiu - Adiuva Me

If you should go - You should know I love you
If you should go - You should know I'm here
Always be near me - Guardian angel
Always be near me - There's no fear

Na - Na - No - Na - Na - No

[Chorus]

Na - Na - No - Na - Na - No


9. I'M STILL REMEMBERING

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told

[Chorus]
I need your affection all the way
The world is changing and has changed away
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

Get away (x6)

I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology
Never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul
I didn't sell my soul

[Chorus]

They say the cream will always rise to the top
They say that good people are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain will his presence still remain?
Remember J. F. K. ever saintly in a way

Where are you now? (x3)
I say - Where are you now?

I need your affection all the way (x4)

All the way (x8)


10. PROMISES

You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet - You'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows
Well - It does not matter anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

[Chorus]
Oh - All the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed - Prayed - Prayed
Oh - All the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke - Spoke - Spoke

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (x2)


11. LOUD AND CLEAR

I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
That's why I'm not your wife

[Chorus]
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged or

I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied

[Chorus]

Loud and clear I make my point my dear

I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin youself alive

Ra - La - La - La - La ...


12. BABY BLUES

I wonder what's happening to me
Things are changing so dramatically
I'll search for you - You're not really there
Still I wonder knowing that you do care

[Chorus]
I shut up - I shut up - I shut up - I shut up
I shut up - I shut up - I shut up now
I shut up - I shut up - I shut up - I shut up
I shut up - I shut up - I shut up now
I shut up now - I shut up now
I shut up now - I shut up now

He is the best thing to come my way
Perfect picture baby blues in my day
He is the best thing to come around
Sleeping in his cradle safe and sound

[Chorus]

(x2)
Baby blues - Baby blues
Baby - Baby - Baby blues

Sha - La - La ...


13. PAPARAZZI ON MOPEDS

As I lie here in the bathtub - I wonder
And I wonder - Why did they take her?
And squeeze her life away
Paparazzi on mopeds
Fresh air in their heads
Paparazzi on mopeds
Cotton wool balls in their hand

[Chorus]
So ugly - So ugly
Why you just can't justify?
So ugly - So ugly
Why they even watched her die?
So ugly - So ugly
Why?

Who was to blame
Was there too much champagne or wine?
It could've been fine
Still I knew about deja vu
Another celebrity dies
And it still mystifies the people
Another icon is destroyed

[Chorus]

You can't - You can't justify
Justify
Even watched her die

Maria Gratia plena
Maria Gratia plena

Dominus tecum

Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
