Mamas Gun 2집 - The Life And Soul (2011) by Mamas Gun (보컬) on maniadb.com

I’m an island in the ocean
free and I belong to no-one
At the mercy of the sea
the waves play like a symphony
crashing in from all directions

Ships pass and planes fly over
looks like they’re speeding fast
but going nowhere
and they never seem to notice me
no time for new discovery
trying to reach their destination

‘cause you can go anywhere you want
and you can be whatever you wanna be
you can do anything, do anything want
but don’t you forget about me

Stranded out here in the open
walking in the wrong direction
in a lonely world of fantasy
don’t give up so easily
try to make a new connection

I can feel it coming, feel it everywhere
a kinda strange sensation, something in
the air, a million words could never
fill a last goodbye so
give me one more night

He’s holding up but sure enough he’s
tearing at the seams, beat up and
tried like a little rag doll
But he’s old enough and strong enough
to remember the man he used to be,
the life and soul

But when he’s home sitting all alone
too drunk to be around anyone
too blind to see all the damage done,
man that ain’t no way to have fun

Somebody said happiness ain’t getting
what you want but wanting what you get
it’s a state of mind, let yourself go free
Everybody’s searching for someone
they think they oughta,trying to wanna,
never never never really be

Cos when you’re home sitting all alone
too tired to be around anyone, too blind
to see you’re not the only one
Man that ain’t no way to have fun

People fight to make it right to
hold on to that feeling inside
and some might say it’s a losing game,
be a fool to play; don’t even try
But no, not you and I,
we make it look so easy

Some start off fast and end up last;
find their falling at the first
but even when the road is long
we’re going strong, don’t feel like work

And they tell me that I
am the luckiest guy
cos when it comes to loving, you and I
we make it look so easy

we don’t have to try at all
cos it comes so natural
and love can be impossible but
we make it look so easy

there’s so many who strive
through complications to find
a simple kinda love like you and I
we make it look so easy

Easy like the love we make (So Easy)
Easy like a summer’s day (So Easy)
Easy like a morning breeze (So Easy)
Easy like you and me

I was going nowhere until you came along
and brightened up my day
But you were having a moment,
somebody had done you wrong,
there were tears streaming down your face
And I remember so clearly just a few
months on, I still think about that day
How you did something to me,
how it felt so wrong to let you walk away

And I’m not one to regret
but I know I’m not ready yet
to stand aside and watch you slowly
slipping through my fingers baby

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything

One day I thought I saw you, but it was just
some girl, she had hair just like yours
Going out of my mind, following ghosts
down empty stairways and corridors

but you’re there behind my eyes
when I can’t get to sleep at night
Girl I’ve got to get you, girl I’ve got to get
you in my life

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
when I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring

You can’t deny it
Don’t try to fight it
When Serendipity comes calling for you
When it comes knocking on your door

You got my heart on a string,
yeah you know ya do
If I ever see you again
I’m just your toy on a string
yeah you know it’s true
And I’ll promise you everything
You held my heart on a string
when I noticed you
Like a flower abloom in the spring
I’ll be your toy on a string
yes I promise you
If I ever see you again

I’m on Fire and I’m digging in
Reaching higher climbing in the wind
You can’t stop me from where I wanna go

From the city rooftops
to the streets down below
and not the even rain can wash me away
‘cause I’ll be back again some sunny day

The World’s on fire and it’s closing in
Reaching higher climbing in the wind
You can’t stop it from where it wants to go
From the city rooftops
to the people down below

See lovers leaping on a blood red sky
and a phoenix rising by dawn’s early light
As the fire rages like a
bull through the streets
the disaster movie no one will ever see

And there’s no cheating fate, no standing
in the way of history repeating once again

‘cause there ain’t no stopping the fire
when it’s closing in
Reaching higher climbing in the wind
You can’t stop it from where it wants to go
Up on the rooftops
to the people down below

and not even the rain can wash me away
‘cause I’ll be back again some sunny day

The World’s on fire and it’s closing in
Reaching higher climbing in the wind
You can’t stop it from where it wants to go
From the city rooftops
to the people down below

Making lead out of gold,
the only alchemy I know
But ever since you floated in
you got right under my skin
leaving fingerprints sparkling on my soul

See me standing like a stone,
don’t leave me alone but don’t you
let these heavy hands break you’re
butterfly wings when you’re flying
so close to me

And you’re a blaze of colour
when I’m blind to everything
Take me dancing on the city breeze

Climbing ladders in the rain,
I just keep slipping back off again
But you’re a little ray of hope and
I’ll hold on to the rope just as long
as you keep calling out my name

I’m on my way up to the top,
don’t let me drop but don’t you
let these heavy hands break your
butterfly wings when you’re flying so
close to me

And you’re a blaze of colour
when I’m blind to everything
Take me dancing on the city breeze

I am sending you a message
‘cause it’s all that I can do
to be near you and with you constantly
So I’m writing you a letter while
the world is fast asleep, thinking of you
and longing for you endlessly

Under the snow my hopes are melting
filling my eyes with days gone by
So go it alone, will I make it alone
till I see you again?

So I’m sending you a message
‘cause it’s all that I can do
to be near you and with you constantly
So I’m writing you a letter while
the world is fast asleep, thinking of you
and longing for you endlessly

Far from the city you can see starlight
Shining like diamonds aloft in the sky
Here at the top of the earth
you’re never far away from me

Follow the sun to where it leads you
I’ll carry you home with every step
So go it alone, will I make it alone
till I see you again?

Feelin’ good, feel alright
Do you feel the electricity tonight?
the countdown’s started,
so get on your lightspeed shoes
We’re staying up all night
in a rocket to the moon

The world’s gone crazy but
we’re doing fine
See it through the window
getting smaller all the time
2 feet off the dancefloor
bustin’ astronaut moves
Out on the starlight highway
in a rocket to the moon

I thought that I was out there,
I thought that I was free
I thought that I was high till
I found zero gravity

so come on baby,
oh you know you can’t refuse
I got a one way ticket for
the rocket to the moon

You could be forgiven,
given all these shooting stars
for wishing you were richer,
so much richer than you are
but floating in the ether
nothing’s ever as it seems
and here in outer-space my friend
no-one can hear you scream - ow!

...in a rocket to the moon,
rocket to the moon.

I got the feeling when I woke this
morning it’s gonna be a sunny day
Open road, ain’t no sign of stopping,
nothing but green lights all the way
Yesterday feels like a lifetime ago
when you’ve got love on your mind
Finally I see the other half of me
there in your eyes

You give every dream in me new life, like
the sunshine breaks a perfect open sky
Every doubt I held onto
seems to melt away with you
So I’m holding on, yes I’m hanging on
now I know you’re the only one

Sometimes I feel like you were born half
crazy or maybe you were just too blind

How did I miss the sweetest love that
anyone put on me - the truth realised.
Standing aside I saw you wasting your time
while I was keeping the faith
you could never see the lonely missing
piece here in my eyes

I never thought that through it all
I’d be the one to change
You showed me colour when all I saw
was black and white, I’m alive

Behind these bright deceiving eyes,
behind these lips forever smiling
lies the meaning of despair
like a fugitive in hiding

Today I wish that I would find a way
to change the way I am
then maybe it might still be yesterday,
before it all began

Now that the light is fading,
this is the only thing I know
how to reach reach, how to touch,
and call my own
There’s so much I’m yet to know in
the art of letting go

Under dark December skies
somewhere my happiness is calling
like a sun that never shines, solemn
sleepless till the morning

And so I live to fight another day
and see what I’ve become
I could live forever in a yesterday
or I could turn away and run
Out of the arms of sorrow
into the open arms of hope
Out of reach, out of touch and on my own
Time is all there is to know in
the art of letting go

I know if I get through today I’ll be alright
‘cause things only fall into place
when you arrive
And I feel it - feel it take hold
and it won’t let me go
And I want it like nothing I’ve ever known.

I get a high on you baby and
I never wanna come down
I get a high on you baby
whenever you come around

Sometimes I sit in awake for days at a time
When the clock reaches quarter to eight

I’ll be home dry
And I need it in the blood in my vein
just to keep me feeling sane
And I want it like it’s the last breath
that I’ll ever own

I get a high on you baby and
I never wanna come down
I get a high on you baby
whenever you come around

Try as I might to replace the taste
of your kiss and the world it created
I know that I’ll never escape this
longing for you, it goes on and on.

Cos I need it in the blood in my vein
just to keep me feeling sane
And I want it like it’s the last breath
that I’ll ever own, I get a high.

Cos you’re in my blood and in my vein,
you’re every drug I’ll ever take baby
I get a high on you baby and
I never never never wanna come down
I get a high on you baby
whenever you come around

Why is my heart so bothered by the spring wind?
It's a mystery I can't explain

Cold cold night, rain drops in black and white
Looking back it feels like a dream
The picture remains caught in a frame, so

How, how can I get through
Find a way to see through yesterday's blues?
Cos I, I could never see you like how others see you
As Yesterday's News

Long have I, I've lived inside a turning pain
Through painted smiles, they say your name

Oh gone the night, the stars leave without your trace
Looking back it's still just a dream
The colours may fade but memories will reign, so

How, how can I get through
Find a way to see through yesterday's mood?
Cos I, I could never see you like how others see you
As Yesterday's News

Ah, so how, how can I get through
Find a way to see through yesterday's blues?
Cos I, I could never see you as just a morning read-through
in Yesterday's News
