at the signs I'm carrying a load And stepping out of line My baby's on the level I try to read her mind She's on the straight and narrow I'm guessing all the time I cannot I see the road If I'm looking at the signs I'm carrying a load And stepping out of line ^ Torna su "Store Bought Bones" Down on your hands and knees, underneath the poplar trees Digging through sticks and stones, looking for store bought bones Waiting on the rising sun, clutching at your holster gun Praying on a shooting star that I can be wherever you are Looking through a telescope, maybe there's a sign of hope Leaving everything behind, stirring a store bought mind Sitting at the edge of the sea, wishing you were here by me Sifting through the mud and the bricks, looking for a store bought fix You can't buy what you can't find But you can't buy, what you find What you can't buy, what you can You can't buy what you can't find What you can't buy, what you find What you can't buy, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can Buy what you find, what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can "Yellow Sun" Yellow sun is shining in the afternoon I'd really like to tell you, but I feel it's too soon My actions are dictated by the phase of the moon The phase of the moon The sun, it isn't hiding when it sets on you It's not a coward like me, and I know that it's true Waiting for the darkness now is all I can do It's all I can do And if the sun should follow us into your room Well, the courage will be robbed from me to tell you the truth The setting sun's the only thing that's shining on you That's shining on you You're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore And when I finally told you when the sun has gone You're laughing 'cause I thought I was the only one And the only thing that's left for me is the rising sun The rising sun You're making me hungry You're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore You're making me hungry You're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore it's not sunny anymore it's not sunny anymore it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore ^ Torna su "Call It A Day" Can we call it a day Now would that be okay Can we just go our own separate ways Cause I'm cold and I'm wet And I'm willing to bet That you constructed this maze I stumble around Trying to follow the sound Then something takes hold of my hand If you've caused such a mess And I'd venture to guess That you concocted this plan And I don't know what to do Cause it's always with you Who helps me to make up my mind But I'll stake my life And I'll swear by this knife That it's all by your design Enough has been said It goes round in my head Until I break down and cry I wouldn't be surprised If that look in your eyes Was your way of saying goodbye Can we call it a day Now would that be okay Can we just go our own separate ways Cause I'm cold and I'm wet And I'm willing to bet That you constructed this maze My hand You concocted this plan I don't know what to do Cause it's always been you Who helped me to make up my mind But I'll stake my life And I'll swear by this knife That it's all by your design Yeah, it's all by your design "Blue Veins" When I was surrounded by the world You were the only one who came And you were the only one astounded Which kept me grounded As the other girls thrashed my very name Then I looked over Just in time to see her smiling back at me And saying everything's OK As long as you're inside my blue veins Your blue veins Yeah and the feeling that you gave me No matter what I do or where I go It always will remain And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck Cause you'll protect me from all pain (and it's true, you know why) But the most beautiful, yeah the most beautiful thing cause I think anything else compete Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins Your blue veins [Versi suonati al contrario] [....] Mmm, baby it's gonna be Your blue veins And I know you won't deceive me Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain You always were the first one to believe me When I said to you girl I think it's gonna rain But I could be wrong Yeah but all of these things All these things They're all truly nice but ain't nothing Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins Your blue veins ^ Torna su
