In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She’s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

«And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
Don’t mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime.»
«I never said I was frightened of dying.»

Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont
très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I love you,
I love you,
I love you.
That’s all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words
I know that You’ll understand.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont
très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I need to,
I need to,
I need to.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I’m hoping
you will Know what I mean.

I love you.

I want you,
I want you,
I want you.
I think you know by now
I’ll get to you somehow.
Until I do I’m telling you
so you’ll understand.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont
très bien ensemble,
très bien ensemble.

I will say the only words
I know that You’ll understand
My Michelle.

When you’re talkin to yourself
And nobody’s home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what’ll happen to you baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see
One, two

Old at heart but I’m only 28
And I’m much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it’s getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don’t know how you’re s’posed
To find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn’t hesitate
If I’m to find my own way out

Still talkin’ to myself and nobody’s home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what’ll happen to us baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I’ll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I’ll get it right next time
An now that you’ve been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You’re back down on the ground
And you don’t talk so loud
An you don’t walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I’m out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn’t show give it time
To read between the lines
‘Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We’ve ever known’s here
Why must it drift away and die

I’ll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I’ll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we’ve ever known’s here
I never wanted it to die

No vuelvas,
no vuelvas sin razón.
No vuelvas,
yo estaré a un millón de años luz…

Y cuando el mundo enmudece,
y las promesas engañan,
nos revolcamos en el jardín
por donde nadie pasa.

Del fuego vino el diluvio,
la nave vuelve a partir,
y mi alimento son las cenizas
de una noche larga.

No vuelvas,
no vuelvas sin razón.
No vuelvas,
yo estaré a un millón de años luz de casa.

De las historias pasadas
ya no me aturde saber
que ella conoce mi perversión en una noche larga…
y esta noche es larga…

Así que…
no vuelvas sin razón,
no vuelvas,
yo estaré a un millón de años luz de casa…
de casa… (x3)

Yo estaré a un millón de años luz de casa…
de casa… (x3)

It was 9:29…
9:29, back street, big city
The sun was going down
There was music all around
It felt so right

It was one of those nights
One of those nights
When you feel the world stop turning
You were standing there
There was music in the air
I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay

*Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really want to be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

It was one of those nights
One of those nights
When you feel the fire is burning
Everybody was there
Everybody to share
It was so right

There you were on your own
Looking like you were the only one around
I had to be with you
Nothing else that I could do
I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay (*)

Underneath a starry sky
Time was still but hours must really have rushed by
I didn’t realize
But love was in your eyes
I really should have gone
But love went on and on (*)

But I really want tonight to last forever
I really want to be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I’m dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I’ve waited so long

Don’t stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There’s nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You’re feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don’t know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don’t know what to do
About this dream and you
We’ll make this dream come true

Why don’t you play the game?
Why don’t you play the game?

Please could you stop the noise, I’m trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What’s this? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What’s this? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What’s this? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What’s this? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing, gucci little piggy
You don’t remember
You don’t remember
Why don’t you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don’t you remember my name? I guess he does…

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height… height…
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height… height…
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That’s it sir
You’re leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!
