Phoenix [Pop]

Baby when I saw you turning
at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone and
it took me like ages
Just to understand that
I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile
but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like
a crowd dancing I guess I couldn't
live without the things that
made my life what it is
Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
I can't lie on my bed without
thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls
this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your
arms again I got a very good
friend who says he can't
believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without
the things that made my life
what it is Can't you hear me
calling oh yeah Everybody's
shaking oh yeah Tonight everything
is over I feel too young

Oh rainfalls and hard times
coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
I guess I couldn't live without
the things that made my life
what it is Can't you hear me
calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
Everybody's shaking oh yeah
Tonight everything
is over I feel too young

Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
I buy my ticket
To see the midnight show
And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it's good
My mind aches
You bust my real thoughts
When you're with me
Till the night's awayI am sittin'
I watch the fireworks
It's no matter of time
I feel the midnight crush
Feelin' without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
Let me handle this affair

Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
It's worth waitin
'To see the midnight show
And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it's good
There's no ending
Light fades in my eyes
I don't want nobody
To burn my Hollywood
Feelin' without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
Let me handle this affair

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've buried I'm still
I It's like a bad
day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life
that I can't control
They say love
ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know
I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets
words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my
world that's fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice true like fire
Now I know that a
breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much
more dignity
In defeat than in the
brightest victory
I'm losing my balance
on the tight rope
Tell me please tell me please
tell me please tell me please
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll
let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through
hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try I can't try
I can't try I can't try
No one knows the
hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
tried and lost know
I think that I pay the cost
I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust after all
Someday all this mess
will make me laugh
I can't wait I can't wait
I can't wait I can't wait
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over
I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over
I'll let you know
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed
well I didn't know
There are things in my life
I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that
will go away
Dark is the night
cold is the ground
In the circular solitude
of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through
I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet
I'm still alive
I'm losing my
balance on the tight rope
Tell me please tell me please
tell me please tell me please
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll
let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll
let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good
time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll
let you know

Summertime is gone
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty too
Party time Party time
Party time Party time
Take me to the place
That makes me happy
I think I'm ready too
Don'tcha know my name
I knew it yesterday
We don't have much to say
Party time Party time
Party time Party time

Summertime is gone
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty, too
Party time Party time
Party time Party time

Baby, our city's on fire
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Lately, running through the bombs
Don't you know it's going to last all night
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright.
Baby, revolution is over
You and me it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Hard times won't last forever
Don't you know we've got some real good time
Alright, alright, alright
There was a time
She called me sweet, my hero, my cute thing
I gave her all the love I got
Baby, for you I'm a man
This is how I got to prove my love (I love that)
Baby, left me for another
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
There was a time
She called me sweet, my hero, my cute thing
I gave her all the love I got

Baby, our city's on fire
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Hard times won't last forever
Don't you know we've got some real good time
Alright, alright, alright

I've spent all summer days driving
I'm tired of holidays ruined
No more take-away's, expired food
I need a real day
Time runs faster when you're loaded
Bright lights blind me all weak
Living in the city, I'm a high-speed drill
I need a full day diving
Tons of heavyweight food
Roosters from the sister islands too
I'd better get working
I'm bored with all that brainwashing
Let's break all separate rooms
Changing's no fun if you don't want to
I need a good day sailing
To tell the sun and the moon
That I am turning for no reasons too
And I keep waiting
Driving to the gas station
Caught by a traffic jam blues
Life is nonsense, I don't have a clue
I need a cool day riding
Feeding all the horses at dawn
Searching for the truffles, going through the woods
Then I'll be waiting
I've passed all summer days driving
I'm tired of holidays ruined
No more take-away's, expired food
I need a full day diving
Tons of heavyweight food
Roosters from the sister islands too
I'd better get working

Hopeful days and stormy nights
I ain't got much to win, not much to lose
Under the burden of my loneliness
It feels so hard to win, so hard to lose
I won't enjoy my collection of stamps
When I'm six feet under the ground
Lonely streets and dusty roads
Lord it's a long way to go back home
Under the burden of your heart of stone
You shrug your shoulders as I decompose
Please keep a eye on those red haired boys
Someday they'll play drum with my shinbones
Now your chewing-gum on my coffin
Take me where I long to be
I can't believe that you want me to wear
The evening tails that will fit my corpse
I don't need a tuxedo
There's no bouncer in the after world
I only just left my dying bed and
Your making curtains out of my shroud

Don't you dig my grave with some excavator
Use a blood stained sword and
a snow-white horseplease..
A last ride in the city's hearse
Few miles away from heaven above
A few more minutes 'till they bury me
A few more weeks 'till worms lick my bones
I won't enjoy my collection of stamps
When I'm five feet under the ground
Stormy days and lonely nights
Lord it's a long way to go back home

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've buried I'm still
I It's like a bad
day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life
that I can't control
They say love
ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is

Napoleon Says Phoenix lyrics
Artist: Phoenix
Album: It's Never Been Like That
Year: 2006
Title: Napoleon Says


You know your french well
Didn't take any decision so far
Hit me like a freight train
Please consider my request

You do expect a Messiah
You want to be European
I would be your Bonaparte
Don't ever care 'bout what Napoleon says

Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well

Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too

Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well

Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat

Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too

Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well

Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat

Look out look out look out
Don't get yourself excited
Calm down calm down calm down
Go get yourself a white horse

Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat

It started all in early september
When my godgiven little became a lot older Goodbyes seal my broken heart Hold on to your teardrops, you got a long way to go
Did you get older doing nothing today?
Don't you wanna stop complaining?
If one is easy then hard is two
Noone knows where you're heading to
Once my private collection, always betting on you
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies & chewing gum
Cut off your hair yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
I thought about this for a long time
Never had the chance to try and make it better My heart is waiting for a new you And there's no other option on the schedule
Love like ours should never die with years Once you start you can't ever go backwards Cause if dark is one then bright is two Noone knows where we're heading to No matter what it takes, never give up on you
I want you to change it all
I am gonna make it better
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies & chewing gum
Cut off your hair yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies & chewing gum
Cut off your hair yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
More more more...

Hook up with me, meet at the rally
Follow the shouting, I am longing for you Hook up with me, meet at the rally I waited so long, I couldn't find a cause Tired or wasted I think you're decent I waited so long, there'll be no decency no
(don't you give me those)
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Remember the time we talked about everlastings?
Don't you know we'll both fall to pieces too?
April 22nd at the Avalon, you teased me
Hook up with me, meet at the rally
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Don't go away we're so near
Look around, you see
There is nothing to say but the things I know I got nothing to say but the things I know
Standing in line, I think you're pretty
Lying on your bed, I think you're pretty too Young girl curl your hair at night Hook up with me, meet at the rally
(don't you give me those)
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk louder
Just as long as you're gone
I won't leave you alone

Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away
I remember this young guy died and I took his part He got far too many stitches on his pretty face Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious I was looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine I don't wanna stay in place no more, see Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine
long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might Something always told me us two would be serious I am looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Long time no see... Long time no say...

to moonn6pence from shootingstar





Quiet please, turn it off, shut it down
Slow down your tan, I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your tears again... This is no fun...
There it goes... Your tears again... As you walk away...
Then it's hard to tell what kind, they do look alike

Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said

Always trying to fall asleep to make my way out Looking at the ceiling, I'm counting the days There it goes... Your man is down to the bottom...
There it goes... Your man is willing to cooperate...
Then it's hard to tell you kindly that ain't what I'm like

Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
That is what you say

Slow down your tan. I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your ID's been stolen...
They wave their hands goodbye... As you walk away...
Then it's hard to tell who's kind, they do look alike

Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said

Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
That is what you say

So you've got your own little story to tell Some girls they ask to put them on your knees Slowdown, it's hard enough to get along Slowdown, we'll never ever get along That ain't what you had in mind No that ain't what you had in mind You don't know what you're doing

Let go
It's so hard to fill me in
You'd better run as fast as you can
When your eyes are getting low
Tomorrow'll say if you're lost and found

Walking around thinking the same again
To get to you I'll go down on my knees
Last night I swear it wouldn't be the same Last night I swear it never was the same Two is for a while but then one has got to leave That's it! I ain't lying and I won't ask you please I'll tell you what I have in mind

Let go
It's so hard to fill me in
You'd better run as fast as you can
When your eyes are getting low
Tomorrow'll say if you're lost and found

I'll tell you what I have in mind
It's so hard to fill me in
You'd better run as fast as you can
