Τότε διαβάζεις παλιά ερωτικά γράμματα πνιγομένος στη θάλασσα

Outside the gates of heaven
Oh, there lives a unicorn
I close my eyes to seven
Oh, this world is not my home

A broken heart in danger
And a pillow filled with tears
Oh, can you see the strangers
In the pain and in the fears?

Can you feel my heart?
Baby, don't give up
Can you feel my love tonight?

In 100 years, love is illegal
In 100 years from now
In 100 years, love is illegal
In this lonely, heartbreak town

In 100 years, love is illegal
All your dreams will die
In 100 years, love is illegal
And your hope will not survive

(L. O. V. E.)
(Love is illegal, my heart)
(Can you hear my heart is beating?)

You're looking through a fire
Computers everywhere
Oh, you're a shotgun rider
Controllers here and there

Then you read old love letters
Drowning in the sea
Oh, baby, it doesn't matter
Oh, you've lost all what you feel

Μα δεν φοβάμαι γιατί το Λονδίνο πνίγεται και μένω δίπλα στο ποτάμι

London calling to the far away towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls

London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun, zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath

London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you running out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling

I never felt so much alike...

Αισθάνεται πολύ καλά (κολυμπώντας στο στομάχι σου)

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone - I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time - feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually, anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

You grieve, you learn
You choke, you learn
You laugh, you learn
You choose, you learn
You pray, you learn
You ask, you learn
You live, you learn

Χτες ήπια αρκετά για να πνιθώ

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be
In some technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think
You couldn't live life without me

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say "I'm sorry"
It's just because the words got in the way

I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I've let you down
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg
Just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town

You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul through flesh and bone
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it's left me feeling cold
Now all you wanna do is take me home
I hated you the night you said you loved me
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
I'm begging you now, baby, please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

Sittin' here while you're fast asleep
In the bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Εκεί όπου ο κόσμος πνίγεται και ο κόσμος υπηρετά

Hey now, little speedyhead
The read on the speedmeter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve
Don’t be shy. Your just deserve
Is only just light years to go

Me, my thoughts are flower-strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon
I have got to leave to find my way
Watch the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes
And nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go

I have got to find the river
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away
Leave the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes
And nothing is going my way

There's no one left to take the lead
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean

The river to the ocean goes
A fortune for the undertow
None of these is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
Of ginger, lemon, indigo
Coriander stem and rose of hay
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet, search naiveté
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way

Κολυμπώ στις φλόγες επιθυμίας

I get up
I run through the world like a fire
Heat it up
I swim in the flames of desire

Chase it if you care, take it if you dare
It's there in the air
Answer to the gun, dance in the sun
Run, boy, run

Run for your life, you're movin' on and on
The art of survival is turnin' me on
And I'll be chasin' it all night long
Don'tcha wanna live?

I get out
I roam through the streets like a tiger
Let it out
I swing like a bird on a wire

Everywhere you go, everybody knows
Oh don'tcha know
Everythin' you do, anybody new
They're all on to you

Fight for your life, turn it all round
The art of survival isn't gettin' me down
And I'll be chasin' it all night long
Don'tcha wanna live?
