Heavy Cloud, No Rain History Will Teach Us Nothing Hole In My Life How Insensitive* How Stupid Mr. Bates (instrumentaal) Hungry For You (Engels) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavy Cloud No Rain Turned on the weather man just after the news I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues He looked at the chart but he looked in vain Heavy cloud but no rain Back in the time with Louis XVI At the court of the people he was number one He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen When the king said hi to the guillotine The royal astrologer was run out of breath He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death He look in the sky but he look in vain Heavy cloud but no rain --------------------------------------------------------------------- History Will Teach Us Nothing If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past Security in human systems we're told will always, always last Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast If God is dead and an actor plays his part His words of fear will find a place in your heart Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse Without freedom from the past things can only get worse Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Our written history is a catalogue of crime The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long A simple act of faith In reason over might To blow up his children will only prove him right History will teach us nothing Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Know your human rights Be what you come here for --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole in my Life Yeah There's a hole In my life There's a hole In my life Shadow in my heart Is tearing me apart Or maybe it's just something In my stars There's a hole In my life There's a hole In my life Be a happy man I try the best I can Or maybe I'm just looking For too much There's something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me please Oh, there's a hole In my life There's a hole In my life Yeah... --------------------------------------------------------------------- How Insensitive (Insensatez) How insensitive I must have seemed When she told me that she loved me How unmoved and cold I must have seemed When she told me so sincerely Why she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say What can you say When a love affair is over Now she's gone away And I'm alone With a memory of her last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still All her heartbreak in her last look How she must have asked, Could I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to do What can one say When a love affair is over --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hungry for You (J'aurais Toujours Faim de Toi) Rien de dormier cette nuit Je veux de toi Jusque'a` ce que je sois sec Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's Comple'tement couvert de sueur Nous nous noyons dans la mare'e Je n'ai aucun de'sir Tu as ravage' mon coeur Et mois j'ai bu ton sang Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi Tout le monde est a` moi Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes Et maintenant je m'en fous C'e'tait gagne' trop facilement Ca y est alors ma belle traitresse Il faut que je brule de jalousie Tu as ravage' mon coeur Et moi j'ai bu ton sang Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons J'aurais toujours faim de toi No matter what I do I'm still hungry for you No matter what I do I'm still hungry for you Rien de dormir cette nuit Je veux de toi jusque'a` ce que je sois sec Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's Comple'tement couvert de sueur |
