Bread - Definitive Collection [compilation] (2006) by Bread (보컬) on maniadb.com

I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that i had not been able to see
I saw someone that i'm not sure i want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, i would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that i knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
Chorus
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best i lay my hopes to rest for noone's calling my name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
Chorus

I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before i went down and out
Here's what i used to think about, think about:
London bridge is always fallin' down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall
London bridge is fallin' down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid
I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see
London bridge is finally fallin' down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
London bridge is finally fallin' down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
London bridge is finally fallin' down.....

Take me anyway you want me
'cause i need your love to see me through
You can make me anyway you want me
That's all that i can offer you
I have tried so hard to please you
But i just can't seem to reach you
Tried, tried a little kindness
Every night and day like i knew i should
But you can take me, yes and you can leave me
But i always stayed, and you knew i would
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
But you got to show me how
Please, please baby, please
Please, baby show me the way to your heart
You got to take me anyway you want me
Or take me just, just the way i am
Take me, or you can make me

Hey, didn't you believe me when i told you i was leavin'?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like i told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a pasttime, this is the last time
This is the last time that i will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, i've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when i said you don't know how to love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
Chorus
Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, i know it won't be the last time
Chorus

Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way
Your way
Gathered in garden and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said.
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?

Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say
and I wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew your name

Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I maybe climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.
Dreams there for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
No, you don't know me well,
'N' ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
But you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.
Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me
And look, look, look what you've done
Well, you took all the best of me
So come get the rest of me
And look back, finish what you've begun
Be done

There is someone you ought to meet
It's me, Mister Incomplete
Look at what I've become
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two
Look, I said back, finish what you've begun
Be done

Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide
And we'll try to decide
What you've needed
But from where I stand today
I can't think of a way
Or the words that I might say
That could change your mind and make you stay
Oh no, not for all the times I've pleaded

Look (look), look (look), look what you've done
You have taken the best of me
So come get the rest of me
Look back, finish what you've begun
Oh, be done
Oh, be done
Oh, be done

Day breaks around me;
I've lost another night's iife.
Now it's as clear as it can be;
I want you with me.
Echoes surround me;
Shadows of things that once were.
They seem to say it so easy.
I want you with me, want you with me,
Want you with me, and i need you by my side.
I need you with me; my heart is pinnin' for you,
Soon i'll be back and then you'll see,
With you i want me.
I want and need you by my side

Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating?
Time goes by still you never bat an eye,
Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away?
Late at night while I lay asleepin',
Pale moonlight through my window weepin',
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away,
Have to fade away? Why my love, won't you tell me
Why, my love, do you keep me waiting? Why, my love,
Are you hesitating? Time goes by, are you waiting
For another day? Tell me why you think
Time will never fade away?

Call on, call on me.
When you can't find a feeling inside,
And You think that there's no place to hide,
You're gonna see call on me.

Call on, call on me.
When you find that you need to be found,
And you start to come looking around
You'll come to me call on me.

If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time that we made some connection, come on call on me.

If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time for a mid-course correction, come on call on me.
Won't you call; won't you call on me?

It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find

It don't matter to me
If you take up with someone who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind

Lotta people have an ego hang-up
'Cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
Just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
What's been missing in the past

And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
It don't matter to me....

'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
It don't matter to me

There's a reason for the life that you live
And there's pleasin' that i know you can give
And i been crayin' the love you been sayin'
So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me no - no - no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you yes - yes - yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
I made a motion and it's out on the floor
And it's a notion that i'd love to explore
'cause i been tastin' the love you been wastin'
So baby won't you give it to me...
You're a lady
And i'm here in the palm of your hand
Such a lady
How much more do you think i can stand?

If a picture paints a thousand words,
만약 사진이 천 개의 단어를 묘사할 수 있다면,
then why can't I paint you?
왜 전 당신을 묘사하지 못할까요?
The words will never show the you I've come to know
제가 아는 한 단어만으로는 당신을 표현할 수 없어요

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
한 사람이 수천 척의 배를 띄울 수 있다지만,
the where am I to go?
그럼 저는 어디로 가야하나요?
There's no one home but you,
집 처럼 포근한 사람은 당신 뿐이에요
You're all that's left me too
당신은 내게 남겨진 전부인걸요

And when my love for life is running dry,
삶에 대한 애착이 식어 갈 때면
you come and pour yourself on me
당신이 다가와 내게 사랑을 주세요

If a man could be two places at one time,
만약 한 사람이 같은 시간에 두 장소에 있을 수 있다면,
I'd be with you
나는 당신과 함께 할 거에요.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
내일과 오늘, 언제나 당신 곁에 있어줄게요.

If the world should stop revolving spinning
만약 세상이 멈추고 지구가 자전하지 않아
slowly down to die,
세상이 서서히 소멸해 갈지라도,
I'd spend the end with you
저는 당신과 마지막을 보내겠어요
And when the world was through,
그리고 세상이 종말을 맺으며,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
별들이 하나 둘 씩 사라져 갈 즈음,
and you and I would simply fly away
당신과 나는 저 멀리 훨훨 날아갈 거에요.

Too much sorrow
Too much pain
Too many reasons
No to go back again
Leavin' without her
Is too much to bear
But when we're together
Too much nothin' to share
But too much love
I've never seen
Too much love
I don't know what it means
Not enough caring
Too many lies
Sooner or later
One too many goodbyes
I got no reason
For hangin' around
And all my possessions
Start to weighin' me down
But too much love
I've never known
Too much love
I need some of my own

He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
to show you the things that he never could say

He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend about the best you can find
As you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you

And he needs somebody to love
Yes, he needs somebody to be worthy of
He's a good lad
He's a good lad

And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
tellin' the truth

'cause he needs somebody to love
Yes, he needs somebody to be worthy of
He's a good lad

Maybe he's wild but his style is really gentle and kind
(He's a good lad)
You need a friend, he is about the best you can find
(He ain't so bad)

Little bit shy, so you'll try and have to understand him
(He's a good lad, good lad)
Just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
(He's a good lad, good lad)
Maybe he's wild but his style is really gentle and kind...

Take comfort where you find it
Whatever gets you through
Take comfort don't be blind to it
You must do what's a right for you
Every one at times must run for cover
Don't you know you really can't be blamed
For in this you're just like any other
There's no need, no need to feel ashamed
Take comfort where you see it
Whatever makes it right
Take comfort when you need it
To help you through the night
By the way we live in our confusion
And the way that we misspend our youth
By the time we're stripped of our illusions
We may find illusions are the truth

Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the cab of
A ten ton machine
Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day i'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Gonna make some inroads
Drivin' home a payload
Truckin' down the highway
Like you never seen
Instrumental harmonica
Gettin' pretty tired of lookin'
In truck stop cabarets
Some day i'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Then you're gonna find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the back of
A long limousine
Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way

Freedom - keep walkin'
Keep on your toesand don't stop talkin' 'bout
Freedom - get goin'
Lots to be learned and lots to be knowin' 'bout
People - gotta reach 'em
Sit 'em right down and then you gotta teach 'em 'bout
Freedom - gotta win it
Gotta put yourself smack dab in it
Hey tomorrow
Now don't you go away
'cause freedom
Just might come your way
Freedom - keep tryin'
People stay alive and people keep dyin' for
Freedom - so don't lose it
Ya gotta understand ya just can't abuse it
Freedom - get movin'
Never gonna stop till everybody's groovin' on
Love for - one another
Callin' some friend and callin' some brother
Hey tomorrow
You're not so far away
Mother freedom
We'll know you well someday

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without
your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
that you'll always be a-stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm a-prayin'
that you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you

I told you before - don't you hear what i say
I won't take it no more - no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees yeh
Yes i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.
Nobody knows - what your puttin me through
Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
And i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
You know how i always loved you
Never placed myself above you,
Don't let me go - if i wish that i could
Don't tell me no - if i wish that you would
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.

Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see
Just bide your time so your heart will be free
To find the one
Girl, you don't have to run

Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style
Just some folks every once in a while
Don't understand
How this world was planned

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly comin' to stay

Daughter (daughter), I know it's hard to make yourself wait (yeah)
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way
When you live for him and not you
You know that it's truly comin' to stay

Daughter, I know it's hard to make yourself wait
But when the right man comes it won't be too late
So don't you cry
He'll be here by and by
And steal your heart away

You sheltered me from harm.
You kept me warm.
You kept me warm.
You gave my life to me.
You set me free.
You set me free.
The finest years I ever knew.
Were all the ones I spent with you.
I would give anything I own. Give up my life and my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own, just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love.
And what it's of, what it's of.
You never said too much but still you showed the way.
And so I knew, from watching you.
Nobody else can ever know.
The part of me that can't let go.
I would give anything I own. Give up my life and my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own, just to have you back again.
Just to touch you once again.
Is there someone you know, you're loving them so but taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day. Someone takes them away and they'll never hear the words you have to say.
I would give anything I own. Give up my life and my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own, just to have you back again.
Everything I own. My life, my heart, my home.
I'd give everything I own. My life, my heart, my home.
Every little thing.
Just to have you back again.
Just to hold you.

Diary
Song by Bread

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me/
The words she's written took me by surpise,
you'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air
and though she tried to hide
the love that she denied,
wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife,
all the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find

Who draws the crowd and plays so loud,
Baby it's the guitar man.
Who's gonna steal the show, you know
Baby it's the guitar man,
He can make you love,
he can make you cry
He will bring you down,
then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin',
miles and miles a day
To find another place to play.
Night after night who treats you right,
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio, you go listen
To the guitar man
Then he comes to town,
and you see his face,
And you think you might like to take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin'
miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play.
Then you listen to the music
and you like to sing along,
You want to get the meaning
out of each and ev'ry song
Then you find yourself a message
and some words to call your own
And take them home.
Instrumental guitar
He can make you love,
he can get you high
He will bring you down,
then he'll make you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin',
but no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go.
Then the lights begin to flicker
and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter
and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
Another place to play,
Anyway got to play,
anyway got to play.
by blackbird

And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts
That never played in tune,
Like a lovely melody
That everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme
It doesn't mean a thing

And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light
And danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did
It never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent
Or was listening too fast,
Catching all the words,
But then the meaning going past,
But god I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times
Around the world
Just to be closer the her than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her,
But I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons
That would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart
From all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want ,
I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times
Around the world
Just to say she had been mine
For a day.

Watchin' you move across the floor
You're fire up my mind can't take it no more
You're a fancy dancer
Makin' me blind so i can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
You know you're comin' on strong
You're my favorite misery
You captured my soul - imprisoned my heart
You know you control whatever you start
You're fancy dancer
And it ain't too hard to see
You're fancy dancer
And you'll make a fool of me
I know it won't be for long
Until you dance a new song
But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
I'm not the first and i won't be the last
Don't want your future - just make the night last
C'mon fancy dancer
Make me blind so i can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
Yeh, we both knew from the start
You'd try do dance with my heart
But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me

Baby i'm through
runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
Maybe i'm beat
but oh what a sweet surrender
You keep your rights,
i'll take your nights
No one can lose
when we turn the lights out
Tastin' defeat,
lovin' that sweet surrender
I'm givin' up myself to you
but i didn't really lose at all
I gave the only love i've known
and it never hurt me to fall
Now that it's done,
so glad you won
I know our lives
have only begun now
No more retreat,
only my sweet surrender
Instrumental giutar

Lost all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay..
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
The words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I`ve got to make you see...
That I`m lost without your love
Life without you isn`t worth the trouble of
I`m as helpless as a ship without a wheel
And touch without feel
I can`t believe it`s real
And somebody soon I`ll wake
And find my heart won`t have to break ...
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
The words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I`ve got to make you see
That I`m lost without your love
Life without you isn`t worth the trouble of
I`m as helpless as a ship without a wheel
And touch without feel
I can`t believe it`s real
And somebody soon I`ll wake
And find my heart won`t have to break
* * instrumental break * *
Yes, I`m lost wihout your love
Life without you isn`t wotth the trouble of
All I want is just the way is used to be
I need you here with me
Oh, darlin` can`t you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more ..

She's a butterfly
But she flies too high
She won't speak the truth
She don't make excuses
She don't seem to care
But you want her anywhere
'Cause she's the only one

She don't make the scene
But that don't change a thing
You just plan and scheme
You insist on dreamin'
She won't play your game
But it's all the same
Now she's the only one

She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
You want to say it's over, but it's just begun
She's the only one

She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
It's not the way you planned it
But she's really got you on the run
Your one and only one

Baby if you only knew
Everything I need I get from you
I'll never let you out of sight
I need you through the day and night, baby
Always there to see me through
Darlin' don't you know I'm hooked on you

Habits I've had before
But never came back so much for more
I need your lovin' every day
I couldn't live without it, no way
And everybody knows it's true
Everybody knows I'm hooked on you

Well I've never been dependin'
And never thought I would
Oh but now I find that I don't mind,
The change is for the good
So don't be feelin' sorry,
For the freedom that I lost
'cause I found out what I'm missin',
And I'm glad to pay the cost

Now that I've tasted you
I know nobody else will ever do
I'm glad that I can say you're mine
I love ya 'cause your sugar's so fine
And no one else'll ever do
There's nothin' like bein' hooked on you

Always there to see me through
Baby that's why I'm hooked on you
