IQ - Are You Sitting Comfortably? (1989) by IQ (보컬) on maniadb.com

The colour of the evening
With a sunset that bleeds
The fallen on the stony ground
Like so many seeds
We're taking the country
From border to shore
People used to tell me
All's fair in love and war

For we are soldiers
King for a day
Mountains to molehills
Peasants for pay
People would cry
If they'd seen what we've done
But we'll be war heroes
When we get home.

We came across the borderline
To another part of town
Her streets were deserted
As we tore the wire down
The women were screaming
As we came through the door
But like people used to tell me
All's fair in love and war

For we are soldiers...

They took the man from out of town
They won't believe his alibi
And on that day the sky fell down
I swear I heard that young boy cry
He told them:--
I'm no ordinary
In your eyes I never will be
I'm strange and peculiar.
Drive on, Drive on,
I want to go to paradise
Drive on, Drive on,
The feeling cuts me like a knife
Drive on, Drive on.
The rains came late again this year
The crops won't grow without the sun
It's better there than over here
When will Dreamtime come?
He told them:--
I'm no ordinary
In your eyes I never will be
I'm strange and peculiar.
Drive on, Drive on...
I want to go to Paradise
Drive on, Drive on
The feeling cuts me like a knife
Don't lose your head
Just take your time
Can't you see if I'm worth having
I'm worth waiting for.

If I won't live a lie it's in my self defense
That I remember hiding then
If I'm eroding all the innocence
Am I running rigid once again?
And he won't hear me now in the darkest hour
I'll never see him now
Oh I can take the mystery in the darkest hour
And he won't hurt me now
If we are lost in paradise
Our recollection all but gone
We will make the only sacrifice
For the strength to carry on
In spite of everything I recognize the end
And feel the scars that never heal
I keep the purity, buried as I am
In an effort to conceal
Don't underestimate what I've retained
All my souvenirs, forget-me-nots,
I'll pretend all you want me to
I won't believe it if you don't
Burn it up again, it's here and I've
Let it live through other stolen lives
Save your hollow breath
Feast your tired eyes
You need protection as well as I
Nothing any good ever came from me
Thought I could run you in the ground
What do I do, what kind of fool
Covers you like an animal?
Out of the way,
I'm anyone wilder than you are
Anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't deny me
Woe betide the one, not to be outdone,
Who will remember all that stuff,
Didn't I say it then enough?
If I could let it be, I would
Start it again, when does it end?
I'm in there somewhere
Nobody can carry me over
Now the dead winds have blown
With the cold rains
If I should fall from your side
Keep it in your mind
How I tried to keep him here
How I promised he'd be safe
And he never said a word
And he never cried
Another day leads me on
And I will follow
Whatever it takes now, I'll do
If it's over
And he won't hurt me now, I know

When the feeling takes me over, what else can I do but run?
Through the corridors I follow, I shoot into oblivion;
If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the children play,
I love it when their eyes are watching, I'll have it when they disobey.

It's a different kind of loving, such a dirty rigmarole,
But just in case there's no tomorrow, I'll bring fire from their souls;
If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the children shout,
I hate it but I won't be happy till I've turned them inside out.

All day long, here I go!
All day long, all day!

Moi
je ne savais presque pas parler francais
quand on s'est connus tous les deux
de ton cote tu ne dis pas un mot d'anglais
mais tu devinais dans mes yeux
et nous etions heureux.

Tous les reves sont permis
pourtant
ce soir
je te quitte.
Ton coeur a change si vite
que nos reves sont finis.

Bye
bye
I love you
love you
c'etait le plus bel ete de ma vie.
I love you cheri.
Le coeur meurtri
je pars en laissant derriere moi
tant de peines

tant de jours

tant d'amour
avec toi.



Tous les reves sont permis
je t'aimais
j'avais confiance.
J'attendais de I'existence
ce que tu m'avais promis.

Tous les reves sont permis
tu n'as pas ete fidele.
Tu m'as fais pleurer pour elle
trop de fois tu m'as menti.

Bye
bye I love you
love you
. . .

Bye
bye I love you
love you . . .

Mais pour nous pardonner

reg rette r

et s'aimer
comme avant.

I am a victim of my time
A product of my age
There's no choosing my direction
I was a holy man but now
With all my trials behind me
I am weak in my conviction

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

You were a victim of my crimes
A product of my rage
You were a beautiful distraction
I kept you locked away outside
Let misery provide
And now I am ashamed

And so I walk to try to find a space
Where I can be alone to live with my mistakes
And the fear that will come
From knowing that the one thing
I had left was you
And now you're gone

[Chorus:]
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all

I am victim of my time
A product of the age
You alone are my obsession
You were the one I left behind
You've been heavy on my mind
It's been a lonely road I've traveled

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

[Chorus:]
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all

I am a victim of my time
A product of my age
There's no choosing my direction
I was a holy man but now
With all my trials behind me
I am weak in my conviction

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

You were a victim of my crimes
A product of my rage
You were a beautiful distraction
I kept you locked away outside
Let misery provide
And now I am ashamed

And so I walk to try to find a space
Where I can be alone to live with my mistakes
And the fear that will come
From knowing that the one thing
I had left was you
And now you're gone

[Chorus:]
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all

I am victim of my time
A product of the age
You alone are my obsession
You were the one I left behind
You've been heavy on my mind
It's been a lonely road I've traveled

And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone

[Chorus:]
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars
Te quiero - me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all
