Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Shout
05:26
|

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy
[Chorus]
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
[Chorus: x3]
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Les rues de Philadelphie

French lyrics (by Ervé Déroff)
LES RUES DE PHILADELPHIE
mon corps n est que blessure
et tout les mots se sont envolés
cet homme qui n a plus de figure
c est juste moi c est mon reflet
je suis cet ombre que l on croise
oh mon frère c est ma vie!
n efface pas mon nom sur l ardoise
au moment ou je sombre
dans les rues de Philadelphie....
j ai marché sur cette avenue
si longtemps que mes jambes sont de pierre
entendu la voix des amis disparus
sentis le souffle de leurs prières
mon sang cogne mes veines
cogne ma vie
noir et tremblant comme ma peine
dans les rues de Philadelphie...
il n y a pas d ange pour me sauver
il n y a que toi mon frère
pour me sourire,me réchauffer
pour empêcher mon âme de n être que poussière..
la nuit est tomber mais le sommeil me fuit
je sens pleurer ton ame,partir ma vie
alors donne moi tes derniers baisers mon ami
avant que je ne quitte les rues de Philadelphie...

Don't give up
06:38
|

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's the a place
There's a place where we belong

Pierrot the clown
04:34
|

Leave me dreaming on the bed,
See you right back here tomorrow,
For the next round,
Keep this scene inside your head,
As the bruises turn to yellow,
The swelling goes down,
And if you're ever around,
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in sorrow,
Wearing a frown,
Like Pierrot the clown
Saw you crashing round the bay,
Never seen you act so shallow,
Or look so brown,
Remember all the things you'd say,
How your promises ran hollow,
As you threw me to the ground
And if you're ever around,
In the backstreets or the alleys,
Of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in pity,
Wearing a frown,
Like Pierrot the clown
When I dream, I dream your lips,
When I dream, I dream your kiss,
When I dream, I dream your fists,
your fists, your fists
Leave me bleeding on the bed,
See you right back here tomorrow,
For the next round,
Keep this scene inside your head,
As the bruises turn to yellow,
The swelling goes down.
And if you're ever around,
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in sorrow,
Wearing a frown,
Like Pierrot the clown

Radio gaga

Radio, I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds; invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around because we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga-ga
Radio ga-ga
Radio ga-ga
Radio
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

I don't know

Flower, colored bright
I am strong, I can fight
But I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Tower, brick and stone
Make my way on my own
But I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I don't know
Flower, colored bright
I am strong, I can fight
But I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Tower, brick and stone
Make my way on my own
But I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I don't know
Tell me it'll never fade
And I'll go forth unafraid
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Show me rain and flood
To cool the fire in my blood
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I don't know
La lala lala la la la lala
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
La lala lala la la la lala
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
Strong enough to bear...
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know how, I don't know how, I don't know how
Are my wings strong enough
Are my wings strong enough

With or without you
04:57
|
|||
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Thank you
05:07

How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
How bout that ever elusive "could have"
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down
How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you Providence,
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence...

Why should i cry for you
04:42
|

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Farve
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,
What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, 'I loved you in my fashion'?
What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

Shock the monkey
05:43
|

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
