Album - senza data - Debaser id 144939

I've been a desperate man
I've been sheltered by a lonely dream
There's a stranger here
Looking back above the bathroom sink
Every night I throw you out
Leave you stranded on the boulevard
You know that I use you up
I used you like I used a mop
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

If I could have a simple love
How would it feel and what would it mean?
I'd only trade you away
For Mary Magdalene
Oh, it wouldn't make me insane
And it would make me the king
And I wouldn't have to wait
Wait around for the real thing
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

Hallelujah
You're all gone. Oh yeah, yeah, hey.

These are the walls
Walls our emptiness made
And this is the storm
Looks like it's gonna hold
Yeah, nobody knows
Who they are around here anymore
Cigarettes and some beers
Then it's back in the car [???]


Ain't it funny how we forgot who we were through the years
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Maybe I had something nobody saw
Blame it on the wall


Well the rain's gonna come
Come and wash away all of our sins
And if the damn doesn't break
Go and we'll wash it away with some gin
Cause they got money to make
And I've always got a reason to go
Sheets don't move from the bed
My head don't move from the floor


Ain't it funny how we forgot who we were through the years
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Maybe I had something nobody saw
Blame it on the wall


Ain't it funny how we forgot who we were through the years
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Put your fist through the wall cryin' television tears
Yeah . . . yeah . . . yeah
Oh . . . oh

Two hearts fading, like a flower
And all this waiting, for the power,
For some answers, to this fire
Sinking slowly, the waters higher...mmm

Desire

Desire

With no secrets, no obsession
This time I'm speeding, with no direction,
Without a reson, what is this fire?
Burning slowly, my one and only...mmm

Desire

Desire

Desire

Desire

You know me, you don't mind waiting
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me
That you'll run and never tire...mmm

Desire

Desire

Johnny held a picture of you
Yeah he kissed it and threw it away
Discarded on the avenue
Just like all those letters that you threw away

Oh, Angelina, you lied
Oh, Angelina, you did it and smiled
Oh, Angelina, you went to town hall dance
With your hair pulled back and a dress

Johnny took an airplane back
Shuffled his feet on the street in L.A.
Two hundred dollars and a gunny sack
He bought a guitar and sang with a band

And he sang:
Oh, Angelina, you lied
Oh, Angelina, you did it and smiled
Oh, Angelina, you went to town hall dance
With your hair pulled back and a dress

Well job's hard enough when you ain't got a girl
And the weekend won't leave you alone
And with money to spare and with nights at the end
Till he ends up at a pay telephone

Said:
Oh, Angelina, you lied
Oh, Angelina, you did it and smiled
Oh, Angelina, you went to town hall dance
With your hair pulled back and a dress
Oh, Angelina, you lied
Oh, Angelina, you did it and smiled
Oh, Angelina, I'm tired, it's the end of the night
Yeah, it's the end of the line

Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would have stuck around
Well I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin’around


Karina if I left it where I wanted to
Yeah, I wonder if you sit around and smile
When you’re dreamin’ of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around


Cause if it were easy
You wouldn’t need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"


Karina all the silence, it’s so deafening
And all the leaves have fallen from the trees
I could hold your cigarette on Oxford Street
But I’m back here, where your lover wants me to be
And Karina, there’s this patience in the things we see
It’s the harbouring of all the things we do
Yeah, and everytime I tell myself there’s nothing left
May I always say your name and think of you
Cause if it were easy
You wouldn’t need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"


Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would have stuck around
Well I could take you walking down to Hougston (?) Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin’around


Karina if I left it where I wanted to
I wonder if you sit around and smile
When you’re dreamin’ of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around


Cause if it were easy
You wouldn’t need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free"
