Everything But The Girl - Adapt Or Die(10 Years Of Remixes) (2005) by Everything But The Girl (보컬) on maniadb.com

You never knew the teenage me and you
would not believe the things you
didn't see, some pretty, some ugly.
And the lovely mirrorball reflected
back them all - every triumph, every fight,
under disco light. Come on
girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now.
Come on girl, it's
gonna be alright now.
Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I
loved ignored me,
and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And
though I got her letter, it never did get better,
and I got out of my
head. Then I joined a band instead.
Some good times I remember - my
birthday that September,
we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn
the stars that we lay under.
And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of
them all, mirror, mirrorball?
Come on girl, it's too late. Come on
girl, it's too late now.
Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh
it's never gonna be alright.
But it's too late now. Let it all go.
'Cause it's never gonna be alright

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel
like we're apart a thousand miles.
I don't want your attitude. I don't
want your things.
But I don't want a 'phone that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.
I don't want your history. I don't want
that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth.
That would be enough. And I
don't care if you've been here before.
You don't understand - tonight I
feel above the law and I'm coming in to land.
I want your love and I
want it now. My heart is that much harder now.
That's what I thought
before today. My heart is that much harder now.
And I thought that it
would stay that way, before today. Before today.
I don't want a 'phone
that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
and past your door
but you don't live there anymore

It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space
you've found some better place

and I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain

Could you be dead
You always were two steps ahead
of everyone.
We'd walk behind while you would run

I look up at your house
and I can almost hear you shout
down to me
where I always used to be

and I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain

Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address

And the years have proven
to offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
but I can't move on

and I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain

Num cantinho um viol??짙o
Este amor, uma can??짠??짙o
Pr??징 fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calmap r??징 pensar
E ter tempo pr??징 sonhar
Da janela v??짧-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo!

Quero a vida sempre assim
Com voc??짧 perto de mim
At??짤 o apagar da velha chama
E eu que era triste
Descrente deste mundo
Ao encontrar voc??짧 eu conheci
O que ??짤 felicidade
Meu amor

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surrounds me.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely!
This is how I want to be,
Here with you so close to me,
Until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely,
Believing life was only,
A bitter tragic joke have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love.

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own
I don't want to cause any serious damage
I want to make sure that I can manage
because I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

And I see love and disaffection
and the clouds build up and won't pass over
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room
And I'm not coming out until I feel ready
not running out for a while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

When you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
Oh this is my road to my redemption


And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
The names may have been changed but the faces are the same
The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same

And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not
really in your head

And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

From the top you can see so far into the distance
Look it's downhill all the way from here
Getting there is quicker like going you just slide
Shouldn't take more then a year

I could almost like you
Now it's nearly over
Now you've shown some weaknesses
Now you're looking older

And I heard what you said
And I recognise those feelings
I know how hard it is to watch you go
And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place
And all the effort not to let the effort show

And I could almost like you
Now you're falling over
Now you're feeling hopeless
Now you're looking over your shoulder

Who's gonna come and find you
Who's coming up behind you

If you can ride the backlash
There's still time for a comeback
You don't have to lie down and die
But Lazarus only did it the one time
He couldn't face another try

And I could almost like you
Now it's really over
Now you've shown some weakness
Now you're looking over your shoulder

Who's gonna come and find you
And who's coming up behind you

I called you from the hotel phone
I haven't dialled this code before
I'm sleeping later and waking later
I'm eating less and thinking more
And how am I without you
Am I more myself or less myself
I feel younger, louder
Like I don't always connect
Like I don't ever connect

And do you like being single
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
And do I like being single
Am I coming back
Am I coming back

I'll put my suitcase here for now
I'll turn the TV to the bed
But if no one calls and I don't speak all day
Do I disappear
And look at me without you
I'm quite proud of myself
I feel reckless, clumsy
Like I'm making a mistake
A really big mistake

And do you like being single
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
And do I like being single
Am I coming back
Am I coming back
Do you want me back (x6)

And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking
And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking of

Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back

<< Walking Wounded >>
--- Everything But The Girl

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.
Punish me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst
the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and
her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let you
go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to me. I
thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you go. I
could have loved you forever. Or I could have left you forever. What do
you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving
you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do. Punish
me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst the
walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and her
and nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train is you
and me and him and her. Somedays I think I could go insane. Somedays I
think I could go insane.

I walked the city late at night
Just everyone here, do the same
I wanna live the things I see
'cause every face, replace my name

Across the street, take a right
Pick up the pace, pass a fight
Did I grow up? Did you stay home?
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

I drive the city late at night
It's in my mouth, it's in my head
And the people filled the city
'Cause the city fills the people, oh yeah

Across the street, avoid the freeze
The city's warm by couple of degrees
The smell of food, the smell of rain
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)

Only way out is down
Only way up is down

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

How much of yourself do you give away
After someone's left your life in disarray
It still hurts
But it won't show
Because I'm too proud
So you're never ever gonna know

I'm on the dark side of the street
Not the light side of the street

It's packed at 2am
I've got no coat
Are you on your own
I'm into you
When are you going home
Get into me

How much of the day can you sit around
Letting all your feelings drag underground
I don't care and I do care
Because I want it
If I know that it's out there everywhere

I'm on the dark side of the street
Not the light side of the street

It's packed at 2am
I've got no coat
Are you on your own
I'm into you
When are you going home
Get into me

I saw you standing at the bar
Don't know your name or who you are

It's packed at 2am
I've got no coat
Are you on your own
I'm into you
When are you going home
Get into me

This temperamental side
The one you say that you can't hide
D' you ever see yourself
The way it looks to someone else
This temperamental trick
The one you say you can't predict
You're like an empty cup
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get where you're coming from
What is real and what's put on
What has stayed and what has gone
How long will this thing go on and on

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

You're like an empty cup
But I can't fill you up
What planet are you on
Not the same one I am from
Do I just waste my time
You pour your heart on mine
You say it screws you up
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get what you're trying to say
What is wrong and what's okay
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

I don't know what you want from me
All this endless sympathy
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

know I wasn't good
Maybe I was even bad
But I was way too young
To know just what I had
And if I let you down
Now I let you go
But I was so young
And now it's all gone
I'm the one to blame

You must never think
I wish that you had stayed
Look at where we are
I'm glad you got away
But who's your daddy now
And where's your home
You're living somewhere new
D'you think he'd take me too
I'm the one to blame

Now you forgot the words
Please don't forget your name
And who gave it to you
Well that was me again
Who let you down and loved you
That was me again
And who's the one to blame
That was me again
I'm the one to blame

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like.
But I pushed you too far and you started laying
down the law till I didn't love you any more.
Now you can pull a little
bit, there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.
So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out.
You didn't know what you were about.
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain and you said,
"It's decision time again".
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
'cause I was wrong. And the ground's gonna swallow
you. I was wrong.
I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like.
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
cause I was wrong
