Darkness De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (Spaans) Dead End Job Dead Man's Rope Deathwish Demolition Man Desert Rose (Engelse vertaling) Does Everyone Stare Don't Stand So Close To Me Driven To Tears --------------------------------------------------------------------- Darkness I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I could make a mark if it weren't so dark I could be replaced by any bright spark But darkness makes me fumble For a key To a door That's wide open Instead of worrying about my clothes I could be someone that nobody knows I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring --------------------------------------------------------------------- De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find The only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true --------------------------------------------------------------------- De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (in Spanish) No preguntes mas Si este amor es verdad Si es un sueno o realidad O un simple viaje especial Quiero que sepas que no miento Quiero cantarte lo que siento De do do do De da da da Te digo con sinceridad De do do do De da da da Repito con honestidad De do do do De da da da Te busco con loca ansiedad De do do do De da da da Te quiero con velocidad Tu me das el paraiso En todo lo que yo presiso persist Con tus palabras me desliso En un prufundo precipicio Quiero que sepas que no miento Quiero cantarte lo que siento De do do do De da da da Te digo con sinceridad De do do do De da da da Repito con honestidad De do do do De da da da Te busco con loca ansiedad De do do do De da da da Te quiero con velocidad Whoa... Quiero que sepas que no miento Quiero cantarte lo que siento De do do do De da da da Te digo con sinceridad De do do do De da da da Repito con honestidad De do do do De da da da Te busco con loca ansiedad De do do do De da da da Te quiero con velocidad --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead End Job I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number The queue gets longer everyday I just ain't no time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I want to do is play Don't wanna be no teacher I don't wanna be no slave I don't wanna work no assembly line A' like my uncle Dave The queue gets longer everyday I just ain't got time to stay I ain't gonna run away All I wanna do is play I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number I don't want no dead end job I don't wanna be no number The queue gets longer everyday All I wanna do is play I just ain't got time to stay But I ain't gonna run away Don't wanna be no millionaire Don't wanna own no mint I don't wanna be no tax exile And I don't mind being skint --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Man's Rope A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right But I keep walking, from daybreak ‘til the falling night And as days turn into weeks and years And years turn into lifetimes I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black? You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away in anger, walk away in pain Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness I'm just hanging here in space Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away in anger, walk away in pain Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness I'm just hanging here in space The shadows fall Around my bed When the hand of an angel, The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness Now I'm walking in his grace I'm walking in his footsteps Walking in his footsteps, Walking in his footsteps All the days of my life I will walk with you All the days of my life I will talk with you All the days of my life I will share with you All the days of my life I will bear with you Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away from anger, walk away from pain Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Deathwish Deathwish in the fading light Headlight pointing through the night Never thought I'd see the day Playing with my life this way Gotta keep my foot right down If I had wings I'd leave the ground Burning in the outside lane People think that I'm insane The day I take a bend too fast Judgment that could be my last I'll be wiped right off the slate Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demolition Man Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming Strapped to the wing with the engine running You say that this wasn't in your plan And don't mess around with the demolition man Tied to a chair, the bomb is ticking This situation was not of your picking You say that this wasn't in your plan And don't mess around with the demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man You come to me like a moth to the flame It's love you need but I don't play that game 'Cos you could be my greatest fan But I'm nobody's friend I'm a demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man --------------------------------------------------------------------- Desert Rose I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of fire Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire And in the flames Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire This desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this And now she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realize that nothing's as it seems I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of her love I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand Sweet desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower, No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfurme Is the sweet intoxication of the fall --------------------------------------------------------------------- Does Everyone Stare I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you --------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Stand so Close to Me Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking - she's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me --------------------------------------------------------------------- Driven to Tears How can you say that your not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears |
